Devil’s Advent

Chapter 991

The tavern in Zhaodi has a special feature, the tavern only sells wine, no food;

People in Zhao are fond of wine, and they pay attention to drinking as drinking, and those who want to serve wine with food do not know how to drink.

There is a story that has been circulating in Zhao, the Lord of Zhao invited the Regent of Dayan to drink;

The regent saw that there was only wine and no food in front of him, so he couldn't help but wonder: where's the food?

The Lord of the State of Zhao firmly said that if the State of Zhao drank, there would be no food, and if the food was to be served, the wine would have to be withdrawn;

The regent was not happy, and said: I want to eat with wine!

Lord Zhao insisted that the rules cannot be broken;

The regent slapped the table angrily: serve food to Gu!

The Lord of Zhao then shouted loudly: "Since you enter Zhao, you must abide by the rules of Zhao. In my country of Zhao, the rules of drinking are greater than those of the emperor!"

The regent finally gave up his insistence, and drank three cups of wine with the king according to Zhao's rules, and then withdrew the wine and served the food.

This story has been widely circulated among the people of Zhaodi, and the people of Zhaodi are fond of talking about it. Every time they talk about it, they unconsciously raise their necks and their faces glow.

Although, anyone who puts a little light on the stage can actually understand that this story cannot be scrutinized at all;

First of all, the current king of the Zhao Kingdom rebelled against his father when the army of the Yan people besieged the capital, and he came to power with the support of the Yan people.

He has the guts to stiffen his neck in front of King Dayan?

Let alone shouting loudly, the rules of Zhao are greater than the words of the emperor. How dare you say that, believe it or not, the regent slaps you to death and replaces you with someone else as the king of Zhao?

But ordinary people love to hear this, and tend to believe this.

In fact, since ancient times, even in history books, there are many records of famous ministers scolding the monarch of the enemy country face to face, and the writing can be said to be so heroic. Among them, the case of Qian Guo is the most.

Well, most of the monarchs who were reprimanded were also the monarchs of the country of Yan. As a result, the monarchs of the country of Yan were often ashamed of themselves in front of the arrogance of the envoys of the country of Qian, and they were defeated again and again by the literati's strength of character and the etiquette of the officials of the country of Qian. .

In its heyday, those who had never been sent to foreign countries and had never displayed awe-inspiring righteousness were ashamed to be that gentleman in the court.

There are quite a few guests in the tavern in Zhaodi. The small town where this tavern is located is the only way for business travelers to go to the south gate and enter Jindi, so it has always been popular.

Vegetables are not sold in the tavern, but outside the tavern, there are many small vendors selling alcoholic beverages ranging from preserved fruits, melon seeds, peanuts to cooked food. When guests enter the tavern, they order wine, occupy the table, and then send their companions to go outside Scan around and buy some drinks, and the tavern won't say anything.

To put it bluntly, the ethos of the tavern in Zhaodi originated from the fact that Zhaodi belonged to the place of the Fourth World War a hundred years ago. The rice wine will be ready to open. I really have no spare time to tinker with the rest of the food and environment. The big guys gradually develop a similar habit of "gathering tables". After a long time, it becomes a custom.

On the second floor of the tavern, a woman in white was holding a jug of wine in her hand, and drank it happily;

On the tables nearby and even downstairs, many tycoons were all paying attention to this scene.

I just feel that this woman has an extraordinary temperament, and this drinking posture is also eye-catching.

Opposite the woman, there is a girl sitting, the girl is eating glutinous rice balls intently.

One big and one small, two girls, they look so much alike, they should be a pair of mother and daughter.

The law and order in Zhaodi is not bad, but it is not so bad that there is no way to pick up lost things, especially since the regent of Dayan slaughtered the capital of Liang State in a rage, a large number of Liang people moved into Zhaodi, making some small people who work in the dark Gangs sprang up like mushrooms after rain;

But no one is so stupid as to watch other mothers and daughters sitting there alone and go up to molesting them.

Those who walk the rivers and lakes, there are two points to pay attention to;

One is that the clothes should not be gorgeous, otherwise it is easy to be regarded as a fat sheep; the other is that the accompanying women should not be too conspicuous and beautiful, otherwise it will easily arouse evil intentions.

This is the principle of long-distance travel that ordinary people know. In addition to these years of frequent wars and unrest in the world, ordinary people have become bolder, and thieves have increased;

Therefore,

Those who dare to show their faces openly and without hiding their faces probably have the confidence to do so.

There is a storyteller in the tavern, bald, with a fat face and short stature, and the one next to him to help pull the strings is his daughter, with a tigress face;

The storyteller's surname is Zhou, and he is talking about the war in Chu State.

Said that the commander of Fancheng was the reincarnation of the savage king, leading an army of tens of thousands of savages, and forcibly fell down the Xie family army of the great Chu Xiezhu country;

Said that the son of Prince Jingnan and the favorite general of the regent, Chen Xianba, each led an iron cavalry, strangled Xie Zhuyang, and almost failed to return to Ancient Yue City;

It is said that the King Regent of Dayan, in front of the independent army, held a Wuya, and fought against eighteen military officers and instructors of the forbidden army of the imperial family of Chu, beheaded seventeen, leaving one alone to escape after being frightened;

It is said that the Yan army not only rode the beasts in the battle, but even the peasants in the rear used the beasts to pull the carts and transport food. Millions of Yan cavalry, with one order, almost pierced the sky of the Chu country directly. a hole...

There are many loopholes in the babbling narration, and there are many things that cannot be justified, but the storyteller did not give the audience below a chance to complain, wave after wave, round after round, with various descriptions. A kind of flying sand and rocks, beating the emotions of everyone;

at last,

Tang Mu patted,

Let out a sigh:

"Zhiniang thief, this is the 800-year-old Great Chu, I am afraid that this encounter will be exhausted."

then,

He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

His daughter put down the string, picked up a large sieve, turned over and jumped off the table, and began to beg for rewards.

After listening to the "battle report", the drinkers began to shout among themselves:

"This big Chu is over, and which one will it be next?"

"Hey, the state of Chu hasn't been destroyed yet, isn't Ying still there?"

"Half of an acre of land in the family has been gouged, how much energy is left?"

"Could it be that you are going to attack the country?"

"The people of Yan are not made of iron. I see that no one who cultivates his life for three to five years will not be able to beat the people of Yan."

"That's the reason."

"I actually think that the people of Yan are likely to continue to fight again. The regent king conquered half of the state of Chu. This territory is not inferior to a country. It may be that he will directly attack Yanjing City and let the emperor's old man's seat , Sit down with someone else."

"Damn you, the regent has been talking about rebellion for so many years, did he do it, did he do it! My son and daughter-in-law said that the prince was going to rebel when they were not pregnant, now I and my son can make soy sauce, I'm still saying that people are going to rebel, so I feel that the prince is a loyal and good man of the Yan Kingdom!"

"That's right, the Prince Regent is a person who cares about the overall situation, how could he do such a fight?"

Zhao State was once ruled by the Yan people. Even though the Yan people are not stationed in Zhao State now, Zhao State is already a subordinate state of the Yan people. Although the Zhao people suffered from military disasters due to the appearance of the Yan people's army, the military disaster has passed after all, isn't it? Besides, it was the Lord Xian who foolishly wanted to fight the Yan people, but was taught a lesson by the Yan people. This cannot be blamed on the Yan people, but on the stupid Lord Xian.

Therefore, in Zhaodi, many people have regarded themselves as "Yan people" spiritually, and they also respect the regent very much.

"It's a pity, I have a small family, otherwise I really want to go to Jindong with a knife to join the Prince Regent, go to the army, and gain a family background, so I can only be in Jindong under the prince's command, no matter what family I belong to No matter which country you come from, you can get ahead with your skills!"

Another long-bearded man with a sword gloated and said, "Hahaha, you can't go, but I can. I'm going to Nanmenguan to go to Jindi to go to Jindong."

talking,

He looked very proudly at the sword-wielding woman sitting next to him,

road:

"I don't know where this heroine is going. If she goes along the way, Guan can take care of her."

This Guan Xing ranger had noticed the young female swordsman sitting at the table next to him drinking and eating noodles by himself;

Such a pretty face, such a figure... Tsk tsk.

You Xia didn't intend to use force or other evil intentions, but isn't it reasonable for two people to take a chance together?

Back then, the Prince Regent had ridiculed the Jianghu with the Juggernaut, saying that half of the children of the Jianghu walked the Jianghu to help each other when encountering injustice, and the other half were to make appointments.

I always feel that I can find my other half in the rivers and lakes, and make up a fairy couple;

If it doesn't work, you can also taste different styles in the red tents in various places.

To put it bluntly, in a river and lake, the group of sword masters is the top, and the following group of heroes from various sects is also a minority, and the most are those young heroes and heroines who are chasing the distance. difference.

In the face of this ranger's bright glances,

The female hero glanced at him coldly and ignored him.

But this kind of contempt stung the ranger's heart, and the ranger immediately shouted:

"It's impossible to say that we can be a general under the prince's command in the future. When the time comes, you can also..."

"Is it worth bragging to be with that bastard?" the woman asked back.

"..." Ranger.

"What did you say?" At this moment, a big man at the other table stood up.

In this tavern, there are many people who admire the regent.

The woman wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, put half of the broken silver on the table, and replied loudly at the same time:

"Zheng Fan, he is an asshole!"

"You, I will teach you a lesson for the prince and the old man!"

In any era, there are irrational admirers. They will fight for their idols when the person concerned has no knowledge or is impossible to know.

The female hero poked forward with her fingertips, and the man's figure froze immediately. The female hero walked past him, kicked him, and the big man was thrown to the ground.

Subsequently,

The heroine raised her head slightly, glanced at the mother and daughter in white sitting on the second floor, and went straight out of the tavern.

"Swordsman." The woman said.

"Fifth Grade." The girl said, "But it seems to be more than that, it should be a lower grade."

The woman nodded and said, "The sword energy is very pure, beyond the reach of ordinary swordsmen."

"She has a grudge against the regent," the girl reminded.

"yes."

"Go, let's get to know each other."

"Where's the other one?" the woman asked. "The fucker."

"Call him up."

"good."

The girl stood up, the woman also stood up, and left the tavern.

...

The heroine rode her horse to the north, and after nightfall, she lodged in another inn.

After taking a shower in the guest room, I came out to pour water, and when I came back, I found a new group of people from the hotel below.

The man was pushing the cart, and two women, one big and one small, were sitting in the cart.

This pair of women, dressed in white, looked like a mother and daughter.

The heroine's gaze lingered on the man pushing the cart for a while, and the man pushing the cart also looked at her.

After meeting each other's eyes briefly, the heroine returned to her guest room.

Outside, there was some faint movement, the waiter of the shop took the guests to check in.

The female hero lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, folded her knees, spread her hands, and meditated as if sleeping.

But this quiet atmosphere was quickly destroyed by knocking on the door.

The heroine didn't speak.

the door opened;

The girl came in with a piece of food, put it on the table, and then hopped on a chair obediently.

The heroine sat up, and the big woman walked in with a jug of wine.

The door was not closed, and a man pushing a cart was sitting on the threshold, just smiling foolishly.

"I don't know you guys," the woman said.

"I know you now." The woman replied.

"Why do you need to know each other?" the female hero asked back.

"Because we probably have the same enemy."

The sword next to the heroine is unsheathed. It is an ordinary sword without any flowers. It can be bought in blacksmith shops in ordinary county towns, and it can't even be called exquisite;

But at this moment, a sword energy rushed over directly.

The woman waved her hand to block it, and quietly dispelled the sword energy.

"sit."

Perhaps, this is the way people in the Jianghu greet each other. First, let's judge whether you are qualified to sit at the same table with me.

The heroine got up, walked from the bed to the table, and sat down.

"Are you mother and daughter?"

"Yes, and no." The girl replied.

"What about him?" The woman pointed at the middle-aged man sitting on the threshold, "Is it your father, or her husband?"

"A friend, a friend I met on the road, before you." The girl replied.

"friend?"

"Yes, both her and I sprained our feet and couldn't walk, so he pushed us on our way. He is a kind man."

"A sprained foot, can't walk?" The woman felt ridiculous.

The girl's eyes are extremely clear, not the clarity of ordinary children, but a kind of profundity that explores the mystery. Not surprisingly, she should be a Qi refiner, but she doesn't know how to "rejuvenate her youth".

As for this woman, when she dispelled her sword energy earlier, the surge of energy and blood showed that she was a very powerful martial artist.

They sprained their feet, they couldn't walk, and they needed someone to push the cart to drive?

"He wants to sleep with you?" The woman looked at the woman.

The woman shook her head and said, "I am willing."

The heroine looked at the girl again, and said, "Could it be you?"

"Hehehe." The girl sneered and said, "He is just a kind-hearted person."

"Oh, it's a weird one."

"Indeed." The woman agreed.

The girl picked up the jug and began to pour wine: "We both just came from Chu, we thought that the Chu people could stop the Yan people, but who knew that we were killed by the Yan people and fled in defeat."

"You escaped too?"

"I escaped. Before I escaped, I helped Xie Zhuyang rescue him." The girl replied.

The woman picked up her wine glass and said, "I almost killed that Prince Jingnan's son, who is the nominal eldest son of the Prince Regent, in the midst of the rebellion."

"Almost?" the female hero asked doubtfully.

"He is much stronger than I imagined. I made a sneak attack but failed. I just hurt him a bit, but I was afraid of being surrounded, so I couldn't continue to attack."

The girl said, "I also can't figure out why he would appear there with a Yan flag."

The woman smiled and said: "I know that person, his father is King Jingnan, and his adoptive father is the regent, so it is only natural that he carries the black dragon flag to fight for the Yan army?"

The girl shook her head and said, "It's messed up."

The woman echoed, "It's very messy."

The heroine frowned slightly, only thinking that the two women seemed to have some problems in their minds.

"You hate the regent, don't you?" asked the girl.

"Yes, he killed my master."

The girl nodded: "Want to take revenge?"

"Think." The heroine didn't hesitate.

"Hold on."

The girl put her hands in front of her eyes, slowly pulled them apart, then smiled and confirmed:

"You're not lying."

"You were spying on me just now?"

"It's just a technique used by a Qi refiner. The Yinjiawei of the Qian Kingdom also often uses this technique when interrogating prisoners, but probably, it can't be used more neatly than me." The girl ate her food, "We plan to go to Jindi to see Look, go to... Jindong to have a look."

"The regent is in Chu." The woman reminded.

"He is protected by thousands of troops, we can't move him," the girl said.

"So, why go to Jindong?"

"I can't move him, but I can go to see his home. If there is no chance, I can greet his family."

"Despicable." Said the heroine.

"Yes." The girl nodded.

The heroine leaned forward,

road:

"But I do know that his palace is impenetrable in terms of protection."

"We also know this, but we are not in a hurry, just take a look, it's just as solid as gold, what if we see an opportunity?" The woman laughed.

"And him." The woman pointed at the middle-aged man sitting there.

"He is a dry man. The regent has led the army to attack Qian several times. As a son and daughter of the Jianghu of the Qian country, he should relieve the country's worries. Right? A good-hearted man."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"But as far as I know, anyone who has tried to attack the palace, no matter whether they are from the imperial court or from the Jianghu, will end badly." The woman reminded again.

The girl smiled "hehe" and said, "If we didn't make a fuss, we turned back. In Chudi, that's what we did. The most important thing is to keep a useful body."

"What if there is an opportunity?" the woman asked.

"You're asking, it's so strange, he killed your master, and you didn't think about killing his family for revenge?"

"There is a wronged person and a debtor. I will settle the debt between me and him, but I will not involve his family."

"People can't be too upright." The girl reminded, "If you look for him, you have no chance of winning, or you can grab his woman, his child, and try to force him... to submit?"

"He is a hero." The female hero reminded.

"No, as far as I know, he is very affectionate." The girl said firmly, "Believe me, we have our news channels and know him better than you."

The heroine froze for a moment, then pointed to her nose:

"You know him better than I do?"

"Yes." The girl nodded and said, "We have all read the investigations of Chu State Fengchao's internal guards, unless you grew up by his side since childhood;

Otherwise, we can safely say that we must know him better than you do. "

The heroine couldn't hold back anymore.

stand up,

road:

"I won't accompany you to do such indecent things."

The girl put her hands in front of her eyes again, and slowly pulled them away;

Shaoqing,

Helplessly sighed:

"She's telling the truth again, you're so stupid."

The girl stood up and left her seat, and the woman also stood up, intending to leave with her.

At this time,

The heroine drew her sword,

road:

"It's fine when I don't know, but now that I know, I'm sorry.

Since you want to take action against his family,

Not only can I not help you,

and tonight,

You cannot leave this inn alive. "

"Hehehe." The girl laughed and said, "There are three of us, and you are one. We are not worried about you leaking the secret, and we don't plan to silence you. You actually said that you want to kill the three of us?"

The heroine shook her head,

shouted:

"So, are you going to do things with them too?"

The middle-aged man sitting on the threshold stood up slowly at this time, his eyes were pure, with a gentle expression, facing this question,

He said:

"You are in a hurry;

I planned to call for someone when I pushed them through the South Gate. "

The woman stretched out her hand and slapped the girl on the face with a "slap", and a clear slap print appeared on the girl's face;

The beaten girl tilted her head,

retorted:

"They really didn't tell lies!"

There is no problem with polygraph detection, girls firmly believe it!
