Eternal Sword

Chapter 375: Green Plum Swordsman
Anyone in the underworld would never use titles like Prime Minister or Secretary of State when addressing Xia Daozi and Shen Guobao.

Only people in the imperial court who have similar habits and cannot change them within a short period of time would use this kind of address.

The thin man had a blank expression on his face. He reached out and lifted the robe around his waist, revealing a dark golden token tied inside.

Luo Shixian took a closer look and frowned, saying, "The garrison!"

Chen Tang also glanced over here and knew what was going on.

From what everyone was talking about just now, this garrison belongs to the imperial guards stationed outside the capital, and is under the command of Shen Guobao.

These gangsters had just been talking about killing treacherous ministers and denouncing Shen Guobao, but they ran into this group of people.

No wonder these four people looked a little strange.

Wei Kai had just walked back from outside at this moment, and originally wanted to draw his sword and fight with the opponent for a few times.

When he heard the word "garrison", his heart was shocked and he had some reservations. He could only swallow his anger temporarily.

Due to the special nature of Nanxia, ​​the underworld forces are huge, and everything is underworld affairs.

Generally speaking, the government will not intervene.

Most people in the underworld also have a tacit understanding to avoid conflicts with the government as much as possible.

Everyone talked big and wanted to kill the treacherous ministers who were bringing disaster to the country and the people, but when it came to actually asking them to take action against the soldiers, they still had to think twice.

What's more, the four men in front of them are part of the garrison troops, the Southern Xia Imperial Guards. Apart from the Northern Expedition Army, they are the most powerful officers and soldiers!

The thin man took out a tissue, gently wiped the corner of his mouth, slowly stood up, looked around, and said lightly: "I am Jiao Zhan, a lieutenant of the garrison army under Secretary Shen."

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind all my friends in the martial arts world to be careful of what you say."

Luo Shixian and Wei Kai both suffered a great loss. They snorted and looked unhappy when they heard the words.

The rest of the people in the martial arts world were overwhelmed by Jiao Zhan's methods and momentum, and fell silent for a moment.

Jiao Zhan brought the three of them to the table of Chen Tang and his friend, and suddenly tapped the table with his fingers.

Chen Tang was drinking tea. When he heard the voice, he was stunned and looked up with some confusion.

Jiao Zhan looked down at him and asked, "You two don't look like locals. Where are you from?"

"Shilanpo."

Chen Tang replied according to the location on the customs clearance document.

"What's in this box?"

Jiao Zhan pointed at the box in Ali's arms and asked.

He had long noticed that the girl's behavior was a little strange.

Even when eating, he would hold the box in his arms tightly.

"What do you mean, my Lord?"

Chen Tang asked instead of answering.

"Open the box and let us check it!"

Someone next to him shouted softly.

"why?"

Chen Tang frowned.

He and Ali were just drinking tea and taking a break here. They had done nothing to offend anyone, but this group of people came up and checked his things. It was really puzzling.

An officer said in a deep voice: "We suspect that you are related to the Xuantian bandits!"

In this case, you can't show them the box.

There were seven flying swords inside, and when you opened it, it was even more difficult to tell.

Chen Tang took out the customs clearance document he had just prepared from his arms, handed it over and said, "I don't know what Xuantian Bandits are, but this is our customs clearance document."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I told you to open the box, so just open it. Why are you wasting time with me?"

The soldier got angry and snatched the customs document from Chen Tang's hand, tore it into pieces in two or three seconds, and said, "What customs document? I didn't see it. Who saw it?"

Chen Tang's expression turned cold.

Luo Shixian frowned and was about to stand up, but Wei Kai next to him reached out and held him down, shaking his head.

After all, the two had suffered a great loss at the hands of Jiao Zhan, so even if they stepped forward, it would be of no use.

Moreover, they were strangers to the two young men.

The less trouble, the better.

Although many of the martial artists in the teahouse felt unfair, they had just witnessed Jiao Zhan's methods and knew the other party's identity, so they were a little afraid and kept silent, waiting to see what would happen.

Ali's eyes became calm and lifeless again.

Somehow, Jiao Zhan suddenly got an idea. "I saw it."

At this moment, a voice came from the corner of the teahouse.

The next moment, the man in green, holding a long sword with a green sheath, walked over with the woman beside him, standing in front of Chen Tang and A Li, looking at Jiao Zhan and the other three with no fear on his face and a bright gaze.

When Luo Shixian saw someone come forward, he could no longer hold back and shouted, "I saw it too!"

Wei Kai sighed in his heart and said loudly: "I saw it. He just took out the customs clearance documents, but you tore them into pieces. The pieces are still on the ground."

"Yes, we all saw it!"

Seeing this, the wanderers in the teahouse became emboldened and began to speak up.

"What do you call a friend?"

Jiao Zhan looked the man in green up and down and asked slowly.

The man in green shirt said calmly: "I am from the Plum Blossom Sword School, Mei Zhenyu."

Chen Tang's heart moved.

Plum Blossom Sword School?

Mei Nianzhi practices this kind of martial arts at the Meihua Martial Arts School in Changze County.

"Oh, so you are Qingmei Swordsman. I have heard of your name for a long time."

Jiao Zhan narrowed his eyes and bowed slightly.

Just now, Jiao Zhan mocked the names of Luo Shixian and Wei Kai.

Now, when the words 'Qingmei Swordsman' were mentioned, there was no sarcasm in the tone, but rather a sense of politeness.

"He is the Green Plum Swordsman!"

"The eldest disciple of the Plum Blossom Sword School!"

"A few years ago, Qingmei Swordsman was even on the list of the hottest names!"

"No wonder it sounds so familiar."

Some of the wanderers in the teahouse had obviously heard of Mei Zhenyu's name. Their eyes lit up and they talked about it in low voices.

The Ranking List is published every year by Dongshan Jiange, gathering the most talented, most powerful and best-performing young people in the Nanxia martial arts world.

To be eligible for the list, you must not be over 20 years old.

Once you are over 20 years old, you will automatically be removed from the list.

Jiao Zhan asked, "Young Master Mei, do you recognize them?"

Mei Zhenyu said: "We just met by chance."

Jiao Zhan stared at Mei Zhenyu and said, "If that's the case, why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

"There are only injustices in the world, where does idleness come from!"

Mei Zhenyu and Jiao Zhan looked at each other without any dodging in the eyes, and his words were powerful.

Everyone in the teahouse couldn't help but cheer.

This is how people in the world should be!

Even the boss who was dozing off in the rocking chair opened his eyes and looked over.

For someone like Mei Zhenyu, who is just in his early twenties, it is already very rare for him to make a name for himself.

There are very few people like him who are so young and have the word "xia" in his name.

He runs this teahouse and sees too many wanderers coming and going every day.

The world has changed a lot over the years.

Nowadays, most people in the underworld care about interests and calculate gains and losses.

Seeing injustice and helping others is becoming less and less common. Some people may even laugh at this and regard it as a reckless person who does not know when to advance or retreat and who does not know how to compromise.

But he had also met some people.

He is kind-hearted, eager to help others and treat others with passion, which makes people feel ashamed of having lived in vain.

Perhaps, these people are indeed reckless and not as smart as those who are good at calculating.

But he was still willing to interact with these reckless men and become friends with them.

Jiao Zhan was stumped by Mei Zhenyu's question and remained speechless for a long while.

"My Lords, please don't overdo it."

Mei Zhenyu said calmly, "Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. No matter how high your position is, you can't stop people from gossiping about you."

The sword in his hand had not yet been unsheathed, but it already exuded a chill!
