Devil’s Advent

Chapter 415 Caught

The entire Jin land is actually in the stage of recuperation. The torment of the war cannot be recovered overnight, but Ying is an exception.

One is that no matter how violent the savages and rebels were at the beginning, it was because of Situ Lei's fierce blow before his death that the capital of the Situ family never fell into the hands of the enemy;

The second is that the refugees caused by the war instinctively gathered in Yingdu, which accumulated a deformed sense of prosperity, making Yingdu City seem to be much more lively than before the war.

At this time, Fan Li, with a sack on his shoulders, walked silently on the street at night. Ying didn't have a curfew, so even at night, it was still noisy.

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

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

Fan Li silently stood outside and looked at him, watched him pay the bill after eating and drinking, picked up his sword, and was about to leave.

The swordsman who left the tavern walked to a remote alley, put his sword aside, and began to unbutton his belt, apparently preparing to release water.

Fan Li waited for a while, and when he had put it away to recycle his trouser belt, he stepped forward, grabbed the opponent's neck, then lifted him up like a chicken, and at the same time took out the sack with the other hand , ready to install.

Who would have imagined that this swordsman would release a faint blue light, and at the same time press down with one hand, he would pull out a dagger and stab Fan Li in the chest.

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

Because Fan Li is too tall, his arms are naturally long, and this swordsman is a little thinner, so his dagger stabs forward and fails to touch Fan Li. When he turns to turn his wrist to cut his arm, Fan Force the palm of your hand.

"Crackling!"

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

let go

"Click" sound,

The swordsman's body fell to the ground.

Fan Li looked at the sack, feeling a little helpless. He originally wanted to find a swordsman to treat the sword maid, because he had invited several doctors in the city, but he still couldn't come up with any regulations. His physical condition could no longer adapt to the journey, so he didn't dare to take him back to Xueguan by force.

Therefore, I can only find a swordsman in this Yingdu to have a look. They all use swords, so they should be able to see a little way, 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, and the leader was Ran Min, who once had a drink with Little Six in the county office.

One of his subordinates inspected the swordsman's body and then reported:

"Captain, the man is dead, his neck was twisted violently."

Ran Min narrowed his gaze slightly, and said:

"Interesting, we've been staring at it for several days, but someone did it right now."

"Captain, could someone from the Secret Service help us do it?"

"Will people from the secret service department focus on this kind of small fish?" Ran Min asked rhetorically.

But in fact, he himself is a little bit uncertain, because although he was entrusted with the post of city guard captain in Yingdu by the former minister of the Ministry of War, after all, he and the secret agent are two different people, whether he is the secret agent or not He didn't know what he did, let alone ask.

According to common sense, the Secret Service Division mainly targets the spies of the Qian people and the Chu people, and their local captains are responsible for cleaning up the rebel organizations of the Jin people.

"The body is collected, let's check it again, and the rest, follow me."

"Yes, Captain."

...

There is an open area in the northeast corner of Yingdu. Earlier, in order to deal with possible offensives by rebels and savages, the houses in this area were bulldozed for war purposes, although the place was fragmented after the fighting subsided. New houses were built on the broken land, but there was still a large piece of barren land.

A shopkeeper of Prince Cheng's mansion brought people over to enclose the place, and built a quiet Accord that occupies a huge area. It is a celebrity business.

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

Regarding this kind of land enclosure for business, Yingdu and even the people of Yan turned a blind eye to it and said nothing.

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

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

At this time, in a small pavilion at the corner of the Accord, two men, one in white and the other in black, were sitting opposite each other;

Each person is served by a maid, and in the corridor outside the pavilion, there is also a dancer swaying.

The man in black is surnamed Zhang and his name is Yiqing. He is an out-and-out Jin native. His father, Zhang Wentong, used to be the prefect of Yingdu. When the Yan people came, the post of prefect was naturally replaced by the official of the Yan people. , but his father can still be transferred to the general judge.

Although the officials are younger and their grades have also come down, in this chaotic world, it is not easy to protect a family and keep an official status when the king's banner changes at the top of the city.

The man in white was surnamed Chen, named Daole, and the Chen family was originally a well-known family in the Jin Dynasty. There were several great Confucianists in their ancestors, and they were even invited by the Jin Emperor to be the emperor's teacher.

It's just that, unlike the Zhang family, the Chen family was greatly implicated in the military disaster two years ago, because the family had privately concealed the family's blood and was broken up by the Yan army.

Although the Chen family was not completely wiped out, the remaining descendants of each line had to separate from the main clan.

Chen Daole came to Yingdu this time, bringing his mother and a book boy to visit Zhang Yiqing, a former friend, which was actually a kind of defection.

Zhang Yiqing is also a good friend, and he didn't look down on him just because his family was down and out, so he took the initiative to ask him to come to Accord for a reunion.

"Brother Daole, eat fish. This fish is the cod in the Wangjiang River. There are a lot of them in the snow field, but there are very few in the Wangjiang River, so it is extremely difficult to catch. And if the river is frozen for a while, even if you want to eat it, you will not be able to eat it." myself."

Chen Daole stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, nodded, and said:

"It's really delicious."

Zhang Yiqing drank some wine, showed a little madness, and said: "Can it not be delicious, this year's fish in Wangjiang is more than fatter than in previous years, brother Daole, do you know why?"

Chen Daole shook his head.

Zhang Yiqing asked himself and answered: "Feeding with flesh and blood, two battles, hundreds of thousands of corpses lying in the Wangjiang River, can the fish in the river not be fat?"

Chen Daole nodded, and said with a smile: "In this way, eat a few more mouthfuls. In the future, you should never eat it again, and you don't want to eat it anymore."

With that said, Chen Daole picked up the chopsticks to pick up the fish again.

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

Chen Daole knew that this friend of his was trying to remind him, so he put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, and touched him.

road:

"Brother Yiqing, I can let go, and I can see it, people, they always have to eat."

Zhang Yiqing drank the wine and put down the glass silently.

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

"The people of Yan are very powerful. In fact, earlier, when the family was at a loss, I did entrust Situ's family to carry the banner of Jin;

After all, to say something that might be taboo at the beginning, it doesn't matter who has the final say in the end, whether it is the Wen family, the Helian family, the Situ family, or even the Jinhuang;

In the end, we Jin people have the final say.

It's a pity that Situ's family suffered such a catastrophe. In the end, the land of the Three Jins fell into the hands of the Yan people, alas. "

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

"Frustration, of course there is, people are swords and I am fish, this is the situation, the current situation can only be blamed on us Jin people.

Nowadays, although it is heard that the two kingdoms of Qianchu and Chu are eyeing the border and want to cause some troubles, but in terms of the overall situation of the Yan people, it does not have much impact.

The imperial examinations of the Yan people took the scholars from Jin to enter the court, and then issued an order of grace to appoint Jin people as officials. Although many government offices often have a situation where the chief officer of the Yan people is paired with a deputy from the Jin, but anyway, it can be seen that the Yan people It is to take us into the land and our people into the past.

Because of this, even if someone puts up a banner from time to time to restore the land of Jin, it is nothing more than bandits and bandits ripping tiger skins to make coats, and nothing can be done at all.

Brother, I have seen through all this and decided to come here with my mother. Since I don't have the courage not to eat swallows, I can only bow down for five buckets of rice first. "

"Brother Daole, why do you have to do this? As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in. As a descendant of the Chen family, brother Daole is here. If my father recommends him, he will be an official. Now outside Yingdu, we The people of Jin are not living well, if brother Daole has the opportunity to let him out, he can do more for the people of San Jin."

"Brother Cheng Yiqing will take care of you."

"You and I feel like brothers, why bother to say such estranged words?"

"Yes, I'm the one with the picture, come on, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

"Drink together!"

Afterwards, the two didn't talk about anything official, but started chatting about the scenery here.

It's just that it belongs to the romance of the past.

Chatting and chatting, the eye sockets of the two men felt moist and red.

At this time,

Chen Daole stood up,

road:

"Brother Yiqing, my mother is still at the inn, I really can't go back too late to make my mother worry."

"This is nature, this is nature, anyway, you and I will have a chance to meet again in the future, oh, yes, brother Dao Le, this sword is a gift from me;

Dao Le brother is now a famous sword in the sheath, in the future, there will be a day when he will show up! "

"Brother Yiqing's love, I will keep it in my heart!"

After the two parties bid farewell,

Chen Daole left Accord,

First, I stood on the road for a while, sobered up by the cool breeze.

immediately,

Pay attention to the back, go straight forward,

Immediately afterwards,

Changed several paths in succession,

Finally, he stepped into a small house.

After closing the door, Chen Daole stretched out his hand and patted it four times. Immediately, there was the sound of a powerful crossbow unwinding in the room. Obviously, when he first entered, several crossbows in the room were aimed at him through the window paper. up.

"Squeak..."

The door was pushed open,

A man wearing an iron mask came out.

Seeing this man, Chen Daole did not salute, but said calmly:

"I can settle down now, what should I do next?"

The masked man said:

"Next, you don't have to do anything. Over the past year, there have been fewer and fewer Jin clans who were willing to support us. Now that you can get an official status, you should cherish it and save it for future use."

Chen Daole showed doubts on his face, and said:

"Then what are you here for this time? I thought I needed to cooperate with Jae Ying in any action."

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

After you get the official status, you should be a good businessman. Yangou is now in full swing. At this time, we need to avoid the edge temporarily;

But Emperor Yangou's body should not be able to last for too long, and the situation will change in the future, and we can immediately make a big deal to restore our Jin land.

Chen Daole, I only hope that you will abide by your heart, remember that you are a descendant of the Chen family, and remember that you are from Jin. "

"You don't need to mention these things to me. Since there is nothing wrong, I'll go first."

"good."

Chen Daole left the small house. Although he seemed to be a scholar, when he wielded a sword, it was obvious that his skills were really good.

No one said that the children of the Chen family who have always been great Confucianists must not 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 the blood of Wen's family had to succumb to reality.

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

"Shua! Shua! Shua!"

Chen Daole dodged ahead of time, turned over the courtyard wall, and hid himself on a locust tree in the courtyard.

immediately,

A group of soldiers walked past where he was before.

It's already this hour, and the Yan people still don't rest, and they come out to run in the middle of the night, something must have happened.

Chen Daole didn't come down in a hurry, but stayed on the tree for a while.

In fact, in the first two years, that is, when the Helian family was just exterminated, the resistance movement and various sects in Jindi were actually very active.

Because the Yan people first arrived at that time, the Yan people's soldiers and horses were only stationed in the big city, and their control over the rest of the place 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 reform of the official system in Jin by the Yan people, 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;

Moreover, the Yan people began to focus on beating them after the war, catching what should be caught, and what should be killed. For people like Chen Daole, the situation has reached an extremely critical moment.

Even he, sometimes in the middle of the night will be confused, confused about whether his persistence is right or not.

But in the daytime, when he saw those Yan people and heard those Yan dialects, the disgust and rejection from his bones made him very uncomfortable.

He is different from those other organizations, some are the remnants of the Wenren family, some are the remnants of the Helian family, and some are even the remnants of the Situ family, because not everyone under the influence of the Situ family is willing to surrender to the Yan people with Prince Cheng.

He is a Yeluzi, and he has connections with many families, but he is not a member of any family in the true sense.

He doesn't care who is in charge of the Jin land after driving away the Yan people,

As long as he doesn't need to hear Yandi's accent to check when he goes in and out of 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 hands,

At the same time, he looked down at the sword that Zhang Yiqing gave him,

Feeling emotional for a moment, he whispered to himself:

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

"Snapped!"

Chen Daole only felt a sudden blow to the head, his vision was blurred and he passed out immediately.

Immediately afterwards,
