Chapter 223 Caught

The entire Jin region is actually in a stage of recuperation. The ravages of war cannot be recovered overnight, but Yingdu is an exception.

One is that no matter how much the savages and rebels made a fuss, in the end because of Situ Lei’s heroic attack before his death, the capital of the Situ family never fell into the hands of the enemy;

Secondly, the refugees caused by the war instinctively gathered in Yingdu, which created an abnormal sense of prosperity, making Yingdu City seem to be much more lively than before the war.

At this time, Fan Li, with a sack draped over his shoulders, was walking silently on the street at night. There was no curfew in Yingdu, so even at night, it was still noisy.

At the door of a tavern, Fan Li stopped and saw a man with a sword sitting there eating and drinking alone.

The Yan people like to wear swords, while the Jin people like to wear swords. Although the land of Jin has entered the territory of Yan, some of the habits of the Jin people cannot be changed in a short time.

Fan Li stood outside silently watching him, watching him finish his meal and drink, then pick up his sword and prepare to leave.

The swordsman who left the tavern walked to a remote part of an alley, put his sword aside, and began to unfasten his belt, apparently preparing to let go.

Fan Li waited for a while, and when he had cleared the belt and retracted it, he stepped forward, grabbed the other person's neck, and then lifted the other person up like a chicken, and at the same time The other hand took out the sack and prepared it.

Who would have thought that this swordsman actually released a faint blue light, and at the same time, he pressed down with one hand, took out a dagger, and stabbed Fan Li in the chest.

Fan Li was a little surprised and immediately raised his arm again.

Because Fan Li is too tall and his arms are naturally long, and this swordsman is slightly thinner, his dagger thrust forward failed to touch Fan Li, and he waited until he turned to prepare. When turning his wrist to cut his arm, Fan Li exerted force on his palm.

"Bang!"

The swordsman's neck was directly pinched, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his head drooped.

Let go of your hand,

with a "click",

the swordsman's body fell to the ground.

Fan Li looked at the sack and felt a little helpless. He originally wanted to find a swordsman to treat the swordsman, because he had invited several doctors in the city, but still couldn't come up with anything. Zhang Cheng, and the swordswoman's current physical condition is no longer able to adapt to the journey, so she does not dare to forcefully take her back to Xuehai Customs.

So, we can only find a swordsman in Yingdu to take a look. They all use swords, so they should be able to see some skills, right?

Mistake.

Fan Li picked up the sack, turned and left the alley, ready to find the next "doctor".

Not long after Fan Li left,

A group of soldiers swarmed in. The leader was Ran who had drank with Xiao Liuzi in the county government office in the past. Min.

A subordinateAfter checking the swordsman's body, he turned to report:

"Captain, he is dead, his neck was broken with great force."

Ran Min's eyes narrowed slightly and he said:

"It's interesting. We have been watching for several days, and someone actually did it at this moment."

"Captain, could it be someone from the Secret Service helping us?" "What?"

"Would people from the Secret Service focus on such a small fish?" Ran Min asked.

But in fact, he himself was a little unsure, because although he was favored by the former Minister of War and was appointed as the city defense captain in Yingdu, he and the Secret Intelligence Department were on different paths after all. , he didn’t know whether it was the Secret Intelligence Service that did it, and he had no way to ask.

According to common sense, the Secret Intelligence Department mainly targets the spies of the Gan and Chu people, while their local captain is responsible for cleaning up the rebel organizations of the Jin people.

"Collect the body and check again. The rest of the people, follow me."

"Yes, Captain."

......

There is an open area in the northeast corner of Yingdu. Earlier, in order to deal with the possible offensives launched by the rebels and savages, the houses in this area were bulldozed for war purposes. Although after the war subsided, this area New houses have also been built piecemeal, but there is still a large area of ​​desolate land.

A shopkeeper from Prince Cheng's palace brought people over to circle the place, and built a quiet elegant pavilion covering a large area. He was engaged in celebrity business.

After all, in a big city with such a large population, it would be difficult to find another place like this.

In response to this move of enclosing land for business, everyone in Yingdu and even the people of Yan turned a blind eye and said nothing.

Because this is the property of Prince Cheng’s Mansion after all. Prince Cheng’s Mansion is so obedient now, giving up military power and the political influence that originally belonged to the Situ family, so people have to eat and live, right?

As long as it is not too excessive, it is actually acceptable. What’s more, before the Yan people took over here, the entire Yingdu belonged to the Situ family.

At this time, in the corner of the Yage, there was a small pavilion. Two men, one dressed in white and the other in black, sat opposite each other;

Each person was served by a maid beside him. , and the dancer swaying.

The man in black is surnamed Zhang, and his first name is Yiqing. He is an authentic Jin person. His father, Zhang Wentong, once served as the governor of Yingdu. When the Yan people came, the position of the governor was natural. Although he was replaced by a Yanren official, his father could still be transferred to Tongpan.

Although the official has become younger and his rank has also dropped, in this chaotic world, it is enough to be able to protect the whole family and keep an official status when the king's flag changes at the top of the city. It is extremely difficult.

The man in white clothes has a surname of Chen and a given name of Daole. The Chen family was originally a famous family in Jin Dynasty. There were several great Confucians in their ancestors, and they were even invited by the Emperor of Jin to be his imperial disciples.

It’s just that unlike the Zhang family, the Chen family was greatly implicated in the military disaster two years ago.Yan Jun destroyed his family.

Although the Chen family was not completely exterminated, the remaining descendants of each line had to separate from the main sect.

Chen Daole came to Yingdu this time, bringing his mother and a bookboy to visit Zhang Yiqing, his former friend. This was actually a kind of surrender.

Zhang Yiqing is also a good friend, and he does not look down on his former friend because his family is in trouble, so he takes the initiative to invite them to get together at the Accord.

"Brother Daole, eat fish. This fish is the cod in Wangjiang River. There are many in the snowfield, but there are very few in Wangjiang River. It is extremely difficult to catch. If the river freezes for a while, even if it is I want to eat it, but I can't."

Chen Daoli took out a piece of fish with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, nodded, and said: "It's really delicious."< /p>

Zhang Yiqing drank some wine, showed a little bit of madness, and said: "Can't it be delicious? The fish in Wangjiang this year are much fatter than in previous years. Brother Dao Le, do you know why?"< /p>

Chen Daole shook his head.

Zhang Yiqing asked and answered himself: "Fed by flesh and blood, there were hundreds of thousands of corpses lying in the Wangjiang River during the two wars. How can the fish in the river not be fat?"

As he said that, Chen Daole said again Pick up the chopsticks and pick up the fish.

Zhang Yiqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's great that Brother Daole can figure this out."

Chen Daole knew that his good friend was in He reminded himself, put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the other party, and said: "Brother Yiqing, I can let go and see things openly, man, You always have to eat."

Zhang Yiqing drank the drink and put down the cup silently.

Chen Daole gently pushed the maid's hand away, picked up the jug and poured the wine himself, and said at the same time:

"The Yan people are powerful. In fact, earlier, when the family was hesitant, , I did trust the Situ family to carry the banner of Shanxi;

After all, saying something that may have been taboo at the beginning, no matter who has the final say in the end, is Wenren, it’s the Helian family, the Situ family, or even the Jin emperor;

In the end, it’s up to us Jin people to have the final say.

It’s a pity that the Situ family suffered such a disaster. In the end, the land of the Three Jin Dynasties fell into the hands of the Yan people, alas."

"Brother Daole, why do you still sound depressed?"

"Frustration, of course, is there. People are like swordsmen, and others are like flesh and blood. This is the situation. The current situation can only be blamed on us Jin people for bringing it on themselves.

Nowadays, although I heard that the two kingdoms of Qian and Chu They were watching eagerly at the border, trying to cause some trouble, but in terms of the overall situation of the Yan people, it did not have much impact.

The Yan people took the imperial examination, took the scholars from Jin and entered the court, and then issued grace orders and appointed them. Jin people are officials, although many government offices often have a Yan person as the chief officer and a Jin person as an adjutant., but no matter what, it can be seen that the Yan people want to take in our Jin land and our Jin people.

Because of this, even if someone from time to time raises a banner to regain the land of Jin, it is nothing more than a den of bandits robbing tiger skins to make coats, and it will never be accomplished.

Brother, I have seen through all this, and that’s why I decided to bring my mother here. Since I don’t have the courage not to eat swallow millet, I can only give in to five buckets of rice first. "

"Brother Daole, why do you do this? As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. As a descendant of the Chen family, Brother Daole has his ancestral home here. If my father recommends him, he will definitely be an official. Nowadays, outside of Yingdu, the life of the people in Jin is not very good. If Brother Daole has the opportunity to go out, he can do more for the people of Jin. "

"Brother Cheng Yiqing will take care of you. "

"You and I are like brothers, why do we need to say such harsh words again? ”

“Yes, it’s me who got caught. Come on, I’ll punish myself with a drink!” ”

“Drink together! ”

Next, the two of them did not talk about anything official. Instead, they started chatting about the scenery here.

It’s just that it belongs to the past.

While chatting, the eyes of the two men felt a little moist and red.

At this time,

Chen Daole stood up.

Tao:

“Brother Yiqing, my mother is still at the inn, I really can’t go back too late and make my mother worried. "

"This is nature, this is nature. Anyway, you and I will have the opportunity to meet again in the future. Oh, by the way, Brother Daole, this sword is a gift from me;

Brother Daole now has a famous sword in its sheath, and he will definitely be able to take advantage of it in the future! ”

“Brother Yiqing’s love will be kept in my heart! ”

After the two parties said goodbye,

Chen Daole left the Accord.

He stood on the road for a while, taking advantage of the cool breeze to sober up.

Immediately,

I looked behind me and walked straight forward,

Then,

I changed several roads in succession,

p>

Finally, he entered a small house.

After closing the door, Chen Daole stretched out his hand and took four shots in succession. The sound of a crossbow loosening was heard in the room. Apparently, When he first came in, there were already several crossbows aimed at him through the window paper.

"Squeak..."

The door was pushed open.

A man wearing an iron mask came out

Chen Daole did not salute when he saw the man, but said calmly:

"I can do it. Now that you’ve settled in, what’s next? ”

The masked man said:

“Next, you don’t have to do anything. Over the past year, there have been fewer and fewer Jin tribes who were originally willing to support us. Now you Since you can get an official position, you should cherish it and save it for other uses in the future. ”

Chen Daole had a look of confusion on his face and said:

"Then what are you here for this time? I thought you needed me to cooperate with some actions in Yingdu."

"Prince Cheng's Mansion has completely become the slaves of the Yan people. There is no place for us to do anything in Yingdu. We are only temporarily settling in Yingdu and will leave here soon.

But Emperor Yangou’s body should not be able to sustain it for too long. The future will be stormy. If there is a change, we will do something great right away to restore the land of Jin.

Chen Daole, I just hope that you will stick to your heart and remember that you are a descendant of the Chen family and that you are a Jin person. ”

"You don't need to remind me about these things. Since there's nothing to do, I'll leave first."

"Okay."

Chen Daole left the small house, although he said He looks like a scholar, but when holding a sword, it is obvious that he is really good at it.

No one said that the children of the Chen family who have always been great scholars must not be able to practice martial arts;

No one said that the children of the Chen family who had suffered military disasters and ruined their families because of protecting their bloodline , you must surrender to reality.

Chen Daole has always had an obsession in his heart, which is to drive the Yan people out of Jin and recover the three Jins.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Chen Daole dodged in advance, climbed up the courtyard wall, and hid himself in a locust tree in the yard.

Immediately,

A group of soldiers passed by his previous location.

It's already this hour, and the Yan people are still not resting. They are running out in the middle of the night. Something must have happened.

Chen Daole did not rush down, but stayed in the tree for a while.

In fact, in the past two years, when the Helian family had just been exterminated, the resistance movement and various sects in Jin were actually very active.

Because the Yan people first arrived at that time, their troops and horses were only stationed in the big city, and their control over other places was very weak. At the same time, the Situ family was still there at that time, and the Jin people still had hope.

However, with the implementation of the imperial examination and the Yan people's reform of the official system in Jin, these resistance organizations that could have received support from Wubao, a wealthy family in Jin, were gradually cut off from supply.

After that, the Situ family also surrendered to the Yan people, and the pillars collapsed;

And after the war, the Yan people began to focus on attacking them, catching those who deserved, and those who deserved. Killing, killing, the situation has reached an extremely critical moment for people like Chen Daole.

It’s him who sometimes feels confused late at night, confused as to whether his persistence is right.

But when it was daytime, when he saw those Yan people and heard those Yan accents, the disgust and rejection that came from his bones made him very uncomfortable.

He is different from other organizations. Some are remnants of the Wenren family, some are remnants of the Helian family, and even remnants of the Situ family, because they are notEveryone under the influence of the Situ family was willing to follow Prince Cheng and surrender to the Yan people.

He is a wild man. He has connections with many families, but he is not really from any family.

He doesn’t care who will be in charge of Jin after driving away the Yan people.

As long as he doesn’t have to hear the Yan accent to investigate when entering or exiting the city gate or at the checkpoint, he will be satisfied.

After confirming that the previous team of soldiers had gone far,

Chen Daole jumped down from the tree,

clapped his hands,

At the same time, he lowered his head and looked at the sword that Zhang Yiqing gave him.

I felt emotional for a moment and whispered to myself:

"Hide the sword in the sheath and wait for the time to move. ”

“Bang!”

Chen Daole felt a sudden blow to his head, and his vision blurred and he fainted.

Immediately afterwards,

A tall man took out a sack and put Chen Daole in it.

"There's so much nonsense"
