Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 46 I think you have the talent to become a unit of measurement
In the following days, Bai Yaoer also met the current emperor. On the day she received the reward, Yan Tingzhi took her into the palace. It should be said that the palace was indeed as rumored, more magnificent than any other place in the world.
The length of the red-gold palace walls and palace roads alone was unknown, and the various halls leading to the palace roads were all golden palaces and jade pavilions. The walls, pillars, and eaves were all carved with fine patterns as fine as needlework, with dragons swimming in the clouds and mist, and auspicious animals in the grass and trees.
The road leading to the palace in front of the main hall was even more boundless, paved with bricks and stone steps made of white stone. It was so white that there was no dust or dirt. When Bai Yaoer stepped on it, she was afraid of getting it dirty.
It was not until they entered the main hall that Bai Yaoer saw the so-called emperor. He was wearing a yellow dragon and auspicious cloud robe and sitting on the golden throne in the hall. Even though he did not move, he seemed to have a majestic aura that made everyone who saw him couldn't help but bow their heads.
Bai Yaoer didn't see clearly what he looked like, nor could she go up to take a closer look, but she vaguely felt that he was probably a young man.
There was no one else in the palace, and it was obvious that the emperor did not want to reveal the inside story of the matter.
He briefly awarded Bai Yaoer a reward and asked Yan Tingzhi to escort her away.
Before leaving, he glanced at Bai Yaoer and said.
"Go back and fulfill your filial duties, and don't let down Li Si's efforts."
The reason why he agreed to Li Si's ridiculous request was because of Bai Yaoer.
However, being able to arrest Li Si and put him in the Tianlao as a warning to others was considered as the achievement of his original purpose.
Yan Tingzhi took Bai Yaoer away. In the afternoon of that day, he led a team of detectives, dragging boxes of official silver, and left the capital with Bai Yaoer.
How many detectives are there in this team ? Fifteen.
What kind of good players are they? If there were no good players, they would probably be second-rate in the world.
Are these people enough? For Yan Tingzhi, yes, they are enough.
There was a reason why he was able to capture Li Si for four years without getting anything done and was not demoted.
In terms of martial arts and ability to do things, he is the best among the Six Gates.
The reason why he failed to become the chief constable of the Six Gates was that he had been catching Li Si for the past four years.
The last time a job was selected, the person who became the chief constable was an old friend of Yan Tingzhi, and he was also the person who laughed at Yan Tingzhi the most over the years.
However, whenever he was asked to arrest Li Si, he would claim to be sick and not go out, which was considered very slippery.
The team escorting the reward was not huge, but ten thousand taels of gold was indeed a considerable amount.
Almost one day after leaving the city, many people set their sights on the money.
Among them, of course, there are some who are not afraid of death.
They all believed that Bai Yaoer was just a little girl trying her luck, and Yan Tingzhi was a useless constable who had been trying to catch the thief for four years but still couldn't catch him.
After all this, they felt that the reward of 10,000 taels seemed to be available for free.
So naturally, some people couldn't hold back anymore.
Well, what can I say? This world is so big that there will always be all kinds of people, and there will always be people who cannot see clearly the current situation.
It was probably on the thirteenth day when the silver bounty team left the city that they passed by a forest.
Bai Yaoer was still sitting in the car in a daze. She was always in a daze these days.
Maybe she has experienced too much during this period of time.
After all, she was just a little girl who had lived in seclusion in the mountains with her father before. Suddenly, she had to step into the world of martial arts, hunt down the thief king, hide from place to place, and go to the palace to meet the emperor. It was difficult for her to accept it.
It's possible that she was thinking about something else.
Someone?
Or something.
In short, she just did it silently. Yan Tingzhi didn't have any opinion on it. He was not good at talking, and even worse at talking to little girls.
It was just right for him that Bai Yaoer didn't say anything.
He just took care of his own business, planning routes, surveying locations, organizing vehicles and horses, and setting up camp. He almost did everything himself and worked with the detectives.
This is not to say that he is very considerate of his subordinates, but he is not at ease leaving all the power to those small detectives.
He trusts himself more than he trusts other people.
The carriages and horses were not moving very fast on the road through the forest.
It had rained a little last night, and the box containing the reward silver was still stained with water. The road was a bit muddy, and the ruts were very deep, making it difficult to walk in the mud.
Yan Tingzhi walked at the front of the team, holding his official long sword in one hand and holding the carriage in the other, looking at the road ahead and walking step by step on the road.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, the horse pulling the cart stopped, shook its head, and snorted while pulling the rope.
Yan Tingzhi also stopped, raised his hand and stopped the team behind him.
Although the constables behind were not very skilled in martial arts, they were familiar with the details of the escort. When they saw Yan Tingzhi's action, they immediately stopped and put their hands on the hilts of the knives at their waists.
If nothing unexpected happens, someone has come, and his intentions are not good.
"Dear brothers in the martial arts world." In front of the team, Yan Tingzhi held a knife, looked around the mountains and forests, and shouted loudly with a serious face.
"I was entrusted by the government to come here, and I am in a hurry to attend to matters. I hope you can give me some face and let me pass through here. We will all take care of each other in the future. We are all friends."
The sound of the wind in the forest was faint, and there was only the sound of resin shaking and rubbing, and it didn't sound like there was anyone around.
At this moment, a reply suddenly came from the empty forest in the distance.
"Haha, Captain Yan, since you already know we are here, let's not beat around the bush. Today, our brothers in the underworld need to have a meal. I wonder if your noble family can give you some money? If you put down the money, you can go. If you don't put down the money, you can stay."
Yan Tingzhi's face gradually darkened. After a few breaths, he gently pushed out a piece of the handle with his thumb holding the knife.
"Then it seems that we can only talk with knives."
"Hehe." A sinister laugh came from the forest: "Then don't blame us brothers for being rude."
In an instant, dozens of black-clothed and masked figures rushed out and landed on tree branches and beside bushes.
Some of them use knives, some use swords, some use claws, and some use axes. Their skills are very diverse, so diverse that they don't seem like they belong to the same school at all.
But their kung fu is good, at least first- or second-rate.
The leader, judging from his inner strength, was at least a famous master, using a pair of mandarin duck hooks, with a slender figure and gloomy eyes. He was wearing a black face scarf, and his eyes were narrowed, as if he was sneering sinisterly.
Looking at these people, Yan Tingzhi did not feel any fear at all.
Because this person's internal energy was unstable, one could tell at a glance that he had used unorthodox methods to force his way through a realm, and it would be difficult for him to make any further progress in this lifetime.
Almost everyone knows that martial artists in the world are divided into four levels: third rate, second rate, first rate, and famous and established.
However, people who have not reached the level of fame basically don’t know that even among famous masters, there are different levels.
The gap between high-level players and low-level players is even greater than the gap between first-rate players and second-rate players.
Just like the man in front of him who was using double hooks, Yan Tingzhi could kill him within five strikes.
After all, he is the Southeast Chief Constable of the Six Gates. In the martial arts world, there is no need for him to take anyone seriously except those masters who founded their own sects .
Even if Li Si used all his Qing Kung Fu to fight him, his sword could still keep up for a hundred rounds.
Although this comparison is a little unfounded, Yan Tingzhi guarantees that anyone who has seen Li Si's true Qinggong skills will understand the difference.
He once had a real fight with Li Si on a snowy mountain. He chased Li Si for seven days and seven nights. He still remembers the scene of the fight. It was simply earth-shaking.
Therefore, compared to these people wanting to rob a car, Yan Tingzhi was more concerned about who they were and how they had the guts to rob the government's money.
Yan Tingzhi was a constable after all, and he quickly figured out some of these people's tricks.
Their martial arts skills are not bad, but they are very mixed. Judging from their strict discipline, they should be members of the same faction.
The big gangs in the martial arts world usually have their own martial arts schools, so those who have mixed martial arts skills usually come from the outlaws.
There are only a few well-known forces in the green forest who can find and gather so many talented people.
Fengyu Tower, Blood-stained Tower, and Changle Gate.
Fengyu Tower and Xueyi Tower act in secret and have strict internal controls. If they want to take action, they would never be so casual as to send a mediocre famous master.
Then there is only one answer, Changlemen, a gang composed of ruffians from the streets.
The discipline is loose, and the personnel come from all walks of life. With the large number of people, it has become one of the top forces in the underworld.
There are all kinds of people here, but there are almost no rules. On weekdays, the heads of each region are in charge of their own affairs, but they communicate with each other and respond to each other when necessary.
Obviously, this time they came to rob the government silver, probably because some leader suddenly made the decision.
They are really becoming more and more reckless.
Looking at the person opposite him, Yan Tingzhi's eyes turned cold. He slowly raised his hand to his waist and grasped the hilt of the knife.
This time when I go back, I should ask the emperor to discipline this sect.
