Chapter 29 Sword Scholar

"It's another dynasty's end of the world, and the people are displaced."

After leaving the restaurant, Zhu Bingkun sighed and couldn't help but think of the world more than ten years ago, which was clearly the same as here.

"This brother said the truth." A man and a woman faced each other. The man was handsome and the woman was slim and wearing a veil. When the man heard Zhu Bingkun sigh, he couldn't help but say, "But you are not afraid that the foolish hawk will hear it, and you will be captured and imprisoned?"

Zhu Bingkun looked at the two men and women, and saw that both men and women were wearing swords, and their qi and blood were still thick, much stronger than ordinary people. There was a faint power hidden. He turned his mind and smiled and said, "The little brother said the word "can't doom". If the hawk and dog were to take it, they would not take it first."

The man laughed: "Brother Tai's words are reasonable." He bowed slightly: "I'm Zhang Xin, brother Tai's surname is Gao?"

Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "I am not given the surname Zhu and his name is Bingkun."

"So it's Brother Zhu." Zhang Xin smiled and said, "There are so many people who can meet Brother Zhu here, this is fate. Why not drink it together?"

Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "It's all my wish."

Then he returned to the restaurant, and Zhang Xin called the private room and called for wine and food.

"Brother Zhu, please." Zhang Xin held the cup and drank it all in one go.

Zhu Bingkun smiled slightly: "Please."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Xin started to speak more and first introduced the woman. It turned out to be Zhang Xin's sister Zhang Yuhua, so he complained: "Li's country is only a second generation, so he has already caused the people to live in poverty. The three battles across the sea and cross the land canals are beneficial to the future, but they are harmed to the present. This has led to the disinterest of the aristocratic families and the people are doubtful, and the country's destiny is not long."

Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "The chaos among the people is revealed. I heard that the traitors in the state attacked the city and broke the palace. I wonder what's going on now?"

"Rebel thief?" Zhang Xin sneered: "It's just the people who can't survive. If it were not forbidden, who would have been willing to be a rebel? Mingzhou was first hit by a flood last year, and the people were killed and injured in the Qianli Ze Kingdom. The tyrant ruler not only did not provide relief, but also saw exploitation. The new state officials even had to scrape a layer of stones. Do you think the people don't rebel, and there is still a way out?"

Zhang Yuhua suddenly said, "Brother, I heard that the emperor issued a relief edict and even allocated 100,000 stones of grain. Unfortunately, no grain can be reached in the hands of the people."

Zhang Xin just sighed.

How could Zhu Bingkun not know? Just as in the late Ming Dynasty in the previous dynasty, the high-ranking Emperor Chongzhen did not want to appease the people's hearts, but unfortunately the officialdom was rotten from top to bottom, and even if the emperor had the will, he was powerless. There was nothing outside. The food allocated by the second generation of the Li family was deducted and corrupt, and they were as cruel as wolves or tigers, and the last one was gone.

"It can be seen that viciousness." Zhu Bingkun said: "That emperor is really alone."

Zhang Xin sighed: "Who said it was not? The three battles across the sea have already hurt the hearts of the aristocratic families. Now all the roots come from now on."

Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "I think Brother Zhang is from an extraordinary background. Could it be that he knows the reason?"

Zhang Xin laughed at himself: "It's a secret that is on the surface, what's wrong with saying? Only three years after the second generation ascended the throne, he launched a large army to cross the sea to conquer the battle. The purpose was nothing more than to weaken the strength of the aristocratic family and to achieve the purpose of centralization. Many of them were in trouble, but in the end they were both defeated. The emperor became a real lonely family, and the strength of the aristocratic family was greatly damaged and they were disloyal. The emperor's edict did not leave the imperial capital at this point, and the aristocratic family was vaguely divided and did not obey the orders. Undercurrents and those who contributed to the fire could lead to the current situation."

Just a few short words gave Zhu Bingkun a deep understanding of this world.

He nodded slightly: "Brother Zhang is a noble son of a noble family?"

Zhang Xin said in surprise: "Brother Zhu doesn't know if he is next?"

Zhu Bingkun was stunned: "I don't know."

Zhang Yuhua covered her face and chuckled: "Brother, the name of 'Lingnan Sword Scholar' is not loud enough."

Zhang Xin smiled bitterly and bowed slightly, "I'm telling Brother Zhu to make a joke. There is a nickname below. If it were Scholar Jian, he thought he had a reputation, but he thought he was just that."

Zhu Bingkun suddenly realized it and said, "I rarely pay attention to the affairs of the world. Brother Zhang must not take it to heart."

Zhang Xin said: "I think Brother Zhu has an extraordinary demeanor and a brave follower. It is estimated that he is an extraordinary person. I wonder where Brother Zhu is?"

Zhu Bingkun's heart turned around and said, "It's Mingzhou."

"No wonder." Zhang Xin showed a sudden look: "I heard Brother Zhu's accent, and it clearly has the taste of Central Plains. It turns out that he is from Mingzhou."

Zhu Bingkun smiled faintly: "I have been away from Mingzhou for more than ten years and have been doing business in the west all year round. This is the first time I have been back."

Zhang Xin was surprised when he heard this, "Brother Zhu is doing business in the Western Regions? That's amazing. Since the aristocratic family and the emperor have been separated from their moral character for more than ten years, the Western Regions have been separated from the center. I heard that the tribes over there were conquering chaos. It's not easy to do business. No wonder Brother Zhu's followers are fierce, and they were tempered in the Western Regions."

"Seeing laughter, seeing laughter." Zhu Bingkun laughed: "It's probably licking blood from the knife, and I'll exchange my life."

"This statement makes sense." Zhang Xin sighed: "Who doesn't exchange his life for life in the world today?"

He also said: "No wonder Brother Zhu doesn't know that he is a nickname in the underworld."

Zhang Yuhua chuckled and said, "Brother still can't let go?"

Zhang Xin shook his head and laughed: "How to let go? I have traveled around the world and know a lot. But I hit a wall with Brother Zhu... Hahaha..."

He laughed himself as he said that.

"When it comes to the world," Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "I have returned to Zhongtu for the first time. I don't know who have names and surnames? I'm a little curious."

As soon as he talked about the world of the world, Zhang Xin became interested and smiled and said, "There are many famous people. If you want to start from the beginning, you will be afraid that you can't finish it in three days and two nights."

"No, no hurry." Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "Why do you have to drink and chat for three days and two nights? I'll listen carefully."

Zhang Xin smiled and said, "Since Brother Zhu is interested, I will say it."

He said: "If you want to talk about this world, it is nothing more than the court. Since ancient times, there have been assassins and knights who have made up for their unfair promises, and gradually they have a world of martial arts. After the various schools of thought, some inheritances have been passed down among the people and have outstanding talents have learned martial arts. They either learn from the imperial family or travel through the imperial family. Those who travel from the emperor gradually form a large family. Those who travel through the rivers and lakes have set up schools, fame, profit, and chaos."

"Now, the Middle Land is full of rivers and lakes, and there are thousands of gangs of all sizes. The powerful ones can control the situation in the area..."

A picture outside the court slowly unfolded in front of Zhu Bingkun.

The so-called world, the so-called chivalrous men, the so-called good and evil are chaotic in this scroll. Zhu Bingkun was curious and also sneered.

This world is clearly in the gray and black area. Whether it is a knight or a devil, they are all people who do not accept the king's transformation and do not respect the law.

But in this world, it is really a joke to have entered the Hall of Elegance.
