Devil’s Advent

Where a town is located, there must be restaurants, restaurants and inns. The more people there are, the larger the scale will naturally be, and the grade can be raised as much as possible.

Indeed, it is man who makes everything;

There are enough people, so naturally they call out restaurants, call out restaurants, and call out the three, six, nine, etc. that apply to themselves.

And when there are enough refugees, restaurants will naturally emerge as the times require.

The team of refugees is heading east, everyone has a clear goal, Xueguan.

Since three years ago, such a folk song has been circulating among the people:

Qiu Ba followed Uncle Hirano and made great contributions;

Qianshou followed Uncle Hirano and had a full meal.

In this era, for the vast majority of people, being able to eat enough is already the greatest blessing under the blessing of their ancestors.

From Shengle City to Xueguan, Zheng Boye's team has worked hard on people's livelihood in the past few years, and finally saw outstanding results.

One is because the demon kings are extremely clever in the development and governance of local people's livelihood,

The second is because several foreign wars were extremely cost-effective deals in the end.

The third is the high-rise buildings with Uncle Zheng as the core. They are not very interested in pleasure, and they can be said to lead by example, which allows the cake to be distributed more evenly.

Of course, the most important thing is the first one. The first one is fundamental, and no matter how many others there are, they are all additions.

The city of Yanjing had received the news of the victory over Chu, and the people of Jin naturally knew about it earlier.

The common people actually don't have a clear idea of ​​the war and the overall situation of the country, but as an ant in the situation, they still have a somewhat shaky understanding.

After this battle is over, the Chu people probably won't be able to fight;

The savages were taken care of by Uncle Zheng long ago, and the threat on the snow field will never appear again.

One Jiazi, one hundred years,

Too far away for ordinary people,

There are ten or twenty years of stable days in sight, enough for them to vote with their feet.

The first ones to come out were the Jin people who had been hiding in the mountains or in the ditches for the past two years since the Savage Rebellion. Isolate myself in order to protect myself.

In the past two years, the people of Yan have been stocking the land in the east of Jin, and it will take time and energy to digest the land in the west of Jin, let alone the east of Jin, which was determined to be sure to fight again early on.

Therefore, the Yan army did not carry out a large-scale cleanup of this area, that is, to suppress bandits.

And these "Kings of the Mountain" are also very knowledgeable. Although there are many ambitious people among them, no one really plays the "king flag" unconsciously in order to establish their own destiny.

King Jingnan's king's flag has been flying in Fengxin City, Zheng Boye's Zheng Ziqi is also flying in Xuehaiguan, no one dares to be the first bird.

After the news of the great victory over Chu Chu came,

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet,

First of all, it is unlikely that the war will happen again in the east of Shanxi in a short time, and the people will naturally come out of their hiding places. After all, everyone has the right to pursue a better life;

After all, when the king of the mountain eats meat and drinks, the vast majority of people live in rags and are extremely difficult, just barely surviving.

Most of the leaders of the various cottages also chose to obey the public opinion, and the other part was aware of current affairs, because they knew that when the Yan people finished cleaning up the Chu country, they would inevitably free up their hands to deal with the situation in the east of Jin. to clean up.

At this time, take the initiative to come out and lead the crowd to join, and you can still get a face.

This is the first wave of refugees, and their number is really not small.

Next, there is a second wave of refugees.

The second wave of refugees is the team of peasants mobilized to support the battle against Chu. Most of the peasants want to return to their hometowns, but there are also quite a few. I stomped my feet and planned to go to the customs on snow skiing.

There are a lot of things involved here, but it seems that the fight is about to end, and there are soldiers and officials from Xueguan watching there. Some deserters, the rest of the Yan Kingdom can't be held accountable.

Even if he wanted to investigate, it would be very difficult for the magistrate of his origin to travel thousands of miles to come here. Even if he did, would he still dare to go to the gate of Hirano Bo's mansion to make trouble?

The third wave is the refugees who escaped from the east of Shanxi to Wangjiang because of the savage rebellion a few years ago.

Regarding this point, all the officials in Yingdu, including Prince Cheng's Mansion, turned a blind eye to it. First, they needed to give Uncle Hirano a face, after all, he was the one who dared to lead troops into Yingdu City to arrest people. My lord, secondly, Yingdu has been having a refugee problem that has been difficult to solve for the past few years. There are too many people, which is also troublesome and a great unstable factor.

Coupled with the frequent floods in Jindi this year, it is conceivable that more refugees will flock here in the future. It is better to send these troubles out in advance to make room for them.

so,

With the war against Chu coming to an end,

An extremely large-scale population movement occurred on the land of Sanjin.

This is a dilapidated town entrance, dilapidated during the savage rebellion, but this is a traffic artery after all, because there are many refugees passing through here, so some people set up some stalls.

There are those who cook and eat,

There are also those who shaved their heads,

There are also doctors who see doctors;

Eating will not be very delicate,

The shaving technique is not bad, after all, the style is cumbersome but portable,

As a doctor, there are not many herbal medicines, so take a look at them, lo and behold, the medicines are not enough to cook, but the patients can feel more at ease.

Although refugees are refugees, not all of them are extremely poor. Therefore, there are still quite a few people who can afford it.

It's just that the haste in the background also indicates that this is a short-lived prosperity like fireworks.

But in general, it still echoes the words of the older generation:

In famine years, artisans will not die of hunger.

Xu Chuang sat down in front of a booth,

before,

A charcoal stove with a pot on it, and the bottom of the pot is boiling red.

It's winter,

it's cold

Eating hot pot can drive away the cold.

In fact, Uncle Zheng did not create hot pot, it exists in this world, but because Uncle Zheng likes it, it is widely spread in Xueguan.

There are quite a few big hot pot restaurants run by the government in Xuehai Customs. They are of good quality and cheap, and the business in winter is always very prosperous.

It's just here,

Whether it is the bottom of the pot or the dish, it is simple and simple,

Don't care about the taste,

It is already extremely difficult to take a bite of hot and flavorful food.

After Xu Chuang sat down, he tossed out a piece of silver, and then unceremoniously pointed to the bottom of the pot in front of him.

road;

"Let's serve."

The boss knew that he had met a big client, so maybe he was an official. Ordinary people, even if they went shopping and ate, they rarely used money.

"Okay, sir, just wait."

The dishes were quickly put down.

Xu Chuang covered his chest with his left hand, picked up chopsticks with his right hand, and began to pick up vegetables to eat.

Hot food into the stomach,

Xu Chuang's face was comfortable at first, then a little painful, and then depressed.

At this time,

A swordsman in ordinary cotton-padded clothes with a sword in his hand sat down opposite Xu Chuang.

The swordsman stood the sword on one side, picked up the chopsticks himself, and started to pick up vegetables to eat, as if he didn't treat himself as an outsider.

The boss looked here and saw that Xu Chuang was just continuing to eat with a calm expression, so he took it for granted that they knew each other.

actually,

Xu Chuang didn't know the swordsman in front of him,

But even if he is seriously injured now,

He could still feel the aura of the swordsman.

Everyone in the world thinks that the lower the number before the character, the stronger the strength, and those who know a little bit will know that such as Warlocks and Qi Refiners, their strength fluctuates greatly;

And those who are really beginners understand that above the fifth rank, it can be regarded as entering the room, above the fourth rank, it is a completely different realm, and as for the third rank, it is already the pinnacle.

The same rice feeds all kinds of people, and there is absolutely nothing in the way of practice that is rigid;

Just like the corpse puppet who was neither human nor ghost that I encountered before,

In terms of real strength,

In fact, neither he nor the old man feared him,

But as a result of the battle,

But it was one of them, who almost solved the two of them.

Looking at the young swordsman in front of him again, he has a rhythm when he picks up vegetables from the bottom of the pot with chopsticks.

This is actually a kind of temperament, similar to when men look at women, they like to comment on whether they have a romantic atmosphere, and when women judge men, they look at whether they are imaginary or rich;

People who use swords, look at people who use swords, actually have similar ways.

A piece of wild venison is down there,

Xu Chuang went to clamp,

immediately,

The swordsman also went to clamp,

The chopsticks of the two collided together.

Immediately afterwards,

In an instant, they collided more than ten times,

The pot is still the same pot,

There was not even a slight ripple at the bottom of the pot,

After a short trial,

Xu Chuang took back his chopsticks.

He has injuries on his body, after all, he has a guilty conscience.

actually,

A previous trial,

The opponent's level has been guessed.

One, there may already be a fourth-rank swordsman.

Even if you don't have the realm of the fourth rank, you must already have the strength of the fourth rank, and you already have that sublime charm.

Swordsmen are actually similar to warlocks in many ways. Warlocks pay attention to the moment when they perceive heaven and man, while swordsmen sometimes like the kind of sword that comes from the gods.

In comparison,

A "big wood" like Wufu is at the bottom of the chain of contempt among many professions.

If he hadn't been injured, Xu Chuang would have been much calmer;

He's hurt now,

In addition, he was beaten half to death by an inexplicable "corpse puppet" earlier,

so,

Now there is quite a feeling of being bitten by a snake for ten years and being afraid of well ropes. I instinctively shrink back from this kind of "strong man" of unknown origin.

"You have injuries."

The swordsman ate his food and said.

"right."

Xu Chuang generously agreed.

It was difficult to cover up his injuries, not only the three holes in his chest, but also the corpse poison inside.

Fortunately,

Did he come down from Wenming Mountain?

So far, Wen Mingshan has been a real famous figure in the Jianghu, very few, and he, Xu Chuang, can be regarded as one of the great ones;

Because of this, most of the warriors on Wenming Mountain went to study "heretics" after they got "no success" in practicing swords and swords.

for example,

medicine.

Everyone in the Liang Kingdom knows that the people on Wenming Mountain practiced swords and swords, but they didn't have any amazing tricks, but the doctors on the mountain are the best.

Most of Liang Guo's imperial physicians came from Wen Mingshan. The dignitaries of other nearby countries even came from Jin, Qiandi and Chu. Every year, many people went to Wenmingshan to seek medical treatment.

But even so,

Xu Chuang also felt that it was difficult for him to suppress the corpse poison.

to the end,

There is only one really effective way left,

That is to dissipate Qi and blood, that is... Sangong.

Disperse the corpse poison along with the blood to save one's own life.

then,

What I will face is not only the random result of losing my skills, but also the huge deficiency of this body, which is to become tuberculosis.

Xu Chuang is not a saint, and his cultivation is not easy. He still wants to find a way, and procrastinate for a while. He doesn't want to practice kung fu until the last moment.

"It's still poisoned." The swordsman said again.

Xu Chuang nodded and said, "Yes."

The swordsman continued to eat,

smoothly,

Called the store to ask for two buns.

Xu Chuang looked at the swordsman in front of him,

Seeing that he stopped talking,

The only way is that the other party is trying to trick you,

open the way;

"Brother, can you master medical skills?"

The swordsman shook his head and said, "It only heals wounds in the world."

Xu Chuang showed disappointment.

The swordsman said again: "But I know a person who is the best at using poison. Those who are good at using poison are naturally good at detoxifying."

Poisoning and detoxification seem to be two extremes, but they are actually a common principle. Without insight into the essence of poison, it is impossible to get started with both.

"Oh, where is that tall man?"

The swordsman shook his head and said, "I don't know where it is now, but it won't be long before I should be back."

"Back to where?"

"Snow Customs."

There is a dwarf in Xueguan,

Good at sneaking, walking on three legs, walking like flying;

Good at using poison, good at killing invisible.

Xu Chuang opened his mouth,

Why is it that place again?

for a while,

Xu Chuang thought that the other party was someone sent by Xueguan to chase and kill him.

But when I think about it, it doesn't make sense,

to myself,

The other party doesn't have to take off his pants and fart at all.

Otherwise, why did you let yourself go before?

"What kind of poison are you?" the swordsman asked.

Xu Chuang pursed his lips and did not rush to answer.

He felt that the swordsman in front of him should be very familiar with Xuehaiguan.

The swordsman took a bite of the bun,

While chewing, he looked at Xu Chuang seriously,

road:

"The pupils are black... the lips are purple... the complexion is dark blue... the veins on the back of the hands are exposed... chills... the nails are black..."

talking and talking

The swordsman put down the bun in his hand,

the look on your face,

Gradually from suspicion to surprise to shock and finally, it returned to calm.

Xu Chuang could sense that the person in front of him was not pretending.

Because people who use swords like to go straight.

There are really not many people who can use the sword to enter the room, and who like to perform deliberately.

The swordsman said seriously:

"You were hit by corpse poison?"

Xu Chuang was taken aback for a moment,

hesitated,

Nod,

Then,

Asked with hope:

"Do you understand corpse poison?"

"I got hit too."

"What!"

Xu Chuang was ecstatic for a moment.

The swordsman said again:

"Being defeated by an existence that looks like a human but not a human, a ghost but not a ghost, and then poisoned."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

is a person,

Talking about one person!

The swordsman nodded,

Then he took up his sword,

Hanging in front of Xu Chuang,

road:

"Since you were hurt by him, it proves that you intend to misbehave with the people who are very close to the Earl's Mansion, because that one will only protect the few closest people;

I'm sorry, I can't let you go, I have to take you back to Earl's Mansion. "

Xu Chuang's mouth twitched,

road:

"They let me go."

"hehe."

The swordsman laughed,

Asked rhetorically:

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"..." Xu Chuang.

"Either die by my sword now, or follow me back to Xuehai Customs now."

"They really let me go. By the way, it's a blind man, a blind man with a high status."

"Mr. Bei?"

"Seems to be."

"That's even more impossible. It seems that you really think I'm a fool. Mr. Bei is usually a kind person, but he is the most ruthless in doing things. He likes to cut grass and roots. How could he let you go?

You are very good,

I managed to escape,

but you met me,

It's your bad luck.

My meal money,

After taking you back to Snow Customs, the people in Earl's Mansion will return it to you. "

talking,

The swordsman got up,

draw sword,

across Xu Chuang's neck.

"You really, misunderstood, really, misunderstood..."

"hehe."

The swordsman smiled slightly,

road;

"Don't take me, Daxia Chen, as a fool."

...

"Are you sure, when will Uncle come back?" Xiong Liqing asked the blind man.

The blind man replied, "I'll be back in three days. According to the master's temper, I should rush back first with two or three hundred guards."

All the affairs there, such as prisoners of war, capture, etc., should be left to Si Niang to deal with;

Then,

Things here are handled by yourself;

Previously, he went back to Xuehai Customs to exchange Siniang back, and he reckoned that he would go there again soon to exchange Siniang back.

"Thank God, I'm finally back." Xiong Liqing said happily, "Guan Li, things that need to be prepared..."

"Princess, don't worry, I will take care of these things."

"Thank you, Mr. Bei."

"It should be, it's also part of the job, the princess and Miss Liu just need to be ready to sleep with the lord, the lord should be exhausted after returning from this expedition.

In fact, the war is over, and the peace is negotiated, but the next thing is not necessarily easier than the war.

The time to really build the foundation of the family is coming. "

The princess nodded and said, "I understand."

"Then the subordinates will go down first."

"Mr. Bei, you are busy."

The blind man walked out of the hall,

At this time,

A messenger soldier came quickly to report:

"Mr. Bei, Daxia Chen is back."

"Oh, where is the man?"

"Tea in the lobby."

"okay, I get it."

………

Daxia Chen is a good person.

Although there was some misunderstanding at the beginning of the understanding, it was almost crippled by Shatuo Queshi in the end;

But later, the suspicion was resolved, and he successfully fooled him into being a thug several times.

Previously, before the start of the war, Chen Daxia learned swords from the side of the Juggernaut. After the start of the war, Chen Daxia went to the battlefield once, and then left quietly.

After all, he is a dry person. It is not good to get too involved in the battle between Yan and Chu.

As for the fact that the gang leader staged a play to snatch back the princess last year, Chen Daxia didn't think he did something wrong. He helped his good brother snatch his wife back. Does this count as violating the righteousness of the country?

In short,

Chen Daxia has his own standards of morality and patriotism. Although this set of standards is a bit difficult for outsiders to understand, it is good that he can figure it out.

The blind man entered the hall,

Seeing Daxia Chen sitting there drinking tea,

Then,

They also saw Xu Chuang who was tied up and lying on the ground.

Xu Chuang's mouth was stuffed, and his shoulders, wrists, and Qihai were all restrained.

At this time, seeing the blind man walking in, Xu Chuang immediately started to shout "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

Chen Daxia sat there leisurely, continuing to sip his tea, with a slightly curved mouth, like a student waiting for praise.

The blind man immediately exclaimed:

"Oh, Mr. Chen, this, this, this, we spent a lot of effort to catch this beast, but in the end, this beast escaped.

You still have the ability,

They brought him back to me,

You really helped us a lot! "

"..." Xu Chuang.
