Devil’s Advent

Chapter 637 Dirty

Inside the post station, it became lively all of a sudden.

Xu Wenzu's personal guards are well-trained. After all, they have all been on the battlefield. They have already been heavily guarded before, and now they are directly stringing their bows and crossbows, and wearing swords and armors.

The postmen at the outer post stations also found Sheng'er and came over. They didn't have any decent weapons in their hands, but when they put them out, at least they won a lot of attention.

In addition, there are quite a few officials living in the front yard of the station, and many of their entourages and guards also came out to check on the situation. What's more, they were wearing low-grade official uniforms and ran away with melon seeds in their hands. Come out to watch a lively scene.

Here, there are Jin people, Yan people, no matter where they are, they are keen on watching theatres, that is a common human nature.

Of course, they didn't know which adult lived in the backyard. If they knew Xu Wenzu's identity, they would definitely rush out to "escort him".

In the final analysis, there are not many mid-level and high-level officials living in the post station. Even serious officials live in a small number. Live in when visiting relatives and friends, or simply hang out with your subordinates when passing by for business.

Some house slaves always like to make a fortune in the station, and in all aspects, they will look at the master behind them to sell face, but in fact no one really takes him seriously.

It's getting lively,

But none of the black-clothed assassins that he imagined would come out from all directions.

from beginning to end,

In front of the pot stood the white-haired old man,

Plus the two servants who were burning the fire earlier.

This scene is really very different from when Xu Wenzu saw his brother Zheng outside Yincheng and was subsequently assassinated.

Liao Gang, holding a bodhi stick, stared carefully at the old man. Although the distance was a bit far away, some characteristics of martial arts practitioners were interpenetrated. The most obvious ones were the calluses on the hands of sword practitioners;

A slightly higher level is its breathing rate.

To Liao Gang's surprise, the old man didn't give him the feeling of practicing family.

Of course, people of this age, even if they are really Lianjiazi, their qi and blood have withered long ago. Fist is afraid of being young, this is the same truth since ancient times.

In fact, no matter whether it is a warrior, a swordsman, or a qi refiner, it is inseparable from this rule. For a slightly special qi refiner, after they get old, what they improve is nothing more than their understanding of "qi" and "reason". , but in terms of fighting skills, it is still much weaker than when he was in his prime.

For example, the Tibetan master back then, if he had just reached the first sixty years of age, he didn't even need to ask Bailijian to accompany him when he went to Yanjing.

It is often said on the stage or in storytelling books that those who cultivate in a cave for a year or a hundred years and shock the world once they appear are nonsense, old monsters who get more and more evil with age...

Um,

Even monsters, as they grow older, their demonic aura fades and their physique withers, which has nothing to do with getting older and becoming more monsters.

Liao Gang's attention fell on those two servants again, they also gave people the feeling of being ordinary people.

This makes people feel a little surprised. The cooperation to create such a battle is not for assassination?

"The flesh and blood of the wronged souls in Wangjiang?"

Xu Wenzu touched his chin and continued to shout:

"In the past few years, there have been countless souls and flesh in Wangjiang;

Before his death, the first emperor of the Dacheng Kingdom fought back the savages and rebel coalition forces, forcing him to retreat to the east side of the Wangjiang River;

In the first Battle of Wangjiang, my Great Yan's Eastern Expeditionary Army was intercepted by the Chu Navy, and the army on the left was submerged at the bottom of the river. There are countless people;

In the second battle of Wangjiang, the savage crossed the river and was defeated by the army led by King Jingnan of Yan, the savage who drowned in the river was like a crucian carp crossing the river;

Under Yupan City, the ambitious Chu people were beheaded by the Wangjiang River. It is said that the blood of the Chu people stained Wangjiang red.

There are savages, people from Chu, people from Yan, and of course, people from Jin;

Dare I ask,

What is cooked in the pot below you is the flesh and blood of which family's wronged soul?

hehe,

The official once tasted a dish at my brother's place. It took all kinds of balls, vegetables and meat and cooked them in a pot, with bamboo sticks inserted in the back for easy eating. My brother called it Oden.

I don't know where Guandong is. My brother said that it is only a name passed down long ago. Whether there is a place name or not, and whether the phonetic characters were wrong when it was passed down is not available.

But right now in your pot,

It might be better to give it a proper name,

Anyway, it's a mess,

Why don't you call

Jindong cooking? "

finished speaking,

Xu Wenzu laughed out loud.

The guards around him, Master Liao, the old man in the courtyard below, and the crowd watching the fun all looked at each other in blank dismay. They really didn't know where the joke came from.

Xu Wenzu smiled and put it away,

I just feel that life is boring,

If his brother Zheng was here, he would definitely not give himself a sense of superiority;

well,

Where in the world can I find a bosom friend?

The white-haired old man shook his head,

road:

"My lord, you missed one."

"Oh, which one?"

"Under the flood, the souls of the dead drowning in the water."

"Natural disasters are merciless."

"Is it really a natural disaster?" The old man said loudly, "If it is really a natural disaster, then it's fine, it's fate, it's the ruthlessness of heaven, but that night, the embankment that had been built for so long suddenly burst, drowning the people in the lower reaches of Jin I don't know how many times, how many people were washed away by the flood in their sleep,

this,

Is it a natural disaster?

The Dayan navy entered Chu from the canal diverted by the Wangjiang River,

Lord Pingxi led his army to the bank of Wangjiang River,

Everything,

Just such a coincidence?

grown ups,

Do you dare to pat your chest and say,

this,

Is it also a natural disaster? "

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Xu Wenzu patted his chest hard three times,

The breast flesh, which is thicker than ordinary women, made waves heavily,

With a loud voice:

"A natural disaster!"

"Hahahahaha..."

The white-haired old man laughed,

Pointing to Xu Wenzu on the second floor above,

shake your head,

road:

"Thanks to you, my lord, you can say it. It seems that the way of Yan people and beasts is solid!"

Xu Wenzu reached out and touched his nose, twisted his thick neck,

shouted:

"Damn, hurry up and serve any main dishes, and hurry up if you have any hard dishes, so don't delay my sleep."

The white-haired old man sighed,

momentum,

It also slumped down.

He drew a dagger;

And at this time,

Xu Wenzu gestured to a guard beside him, and the guard nodded slightly.

under,

The old man continued to sigh:

"The old man also thought about it. The division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty made my Dajin split, and you Yan people took advantage of it. This is a sin made by yourself. The old man also thought about it. If you come out yourself, it will bring peace, so what if I entrust you to the people of Jin as the master?

But the facts have proved that you Yanren treat my Jinren like fish.

My husband's surname..."

"Buzz!"

A crossbow arrow shot the old man's chest.

"Hey hey."

Xu Wenzu burst into snot bubbles from laughing,

"Straight mother thief, I know that you, an old bastard, will finally declare your family name, and this official is not as good as you wish."

The old man fell to the ground, the crossbow arrows were so powerful that they almost penetrated his body. He was not wearing a thick cotton coat, but a relatively thin gown.

"Yicheng, where did you die? Someone here openly dug up the grave and took the bones to cook. It's really a rebellion and indignation. The official has already ordered him to be executed. Hurry up and clean up this place, so as not to affect this place. The official also affected the rest of the big guys."

finished speaking,

Xu Wenzu glanced over the crowd watching the excitement below,

shouted:

"This official is Xu Wenzu, the new prefect of Yingdu. Here, I will say hello to the big guys in advance. In the future, such things that do not conform to the etiquette will not be dared to say elsewhere. On this official's land, who will If you dare to do it, I will behead anyone, and after beheading a few more heads, I will have to see who dares to make such a mess!"

finished speaking,

Xu Wenzu closed the window,

Back at the table and sat down.

Liao Gang observed for a while, and saw that the people at the post station had come to deal with it, and the rest of the crowd who watched the fun also dispersed, so he was relieved.

But in the house, the rest of the guards, including those downstairs and on the roof, are still on alert.

waited for a long time,

Pushed away several groups of officials who wanted to see Xu Wenzu after learning of Xu Wenzu's identity,

Xu Wenzu finally couldn't hold back anymore,

To Master Liao beside him, he said:

"Huh, is that really the case?"

The table is set up very well.

Shouting is also very fierce,

But unfortunately, it's a bit anticlimactic.

When a person dies, he also dies, and the next one is gone?

Master Liao nodded and said, "There is no abnormality in the layout everywhere."

The imagined scene of a large group of assassins swarming out did not appear.

Xu Wenzu took the handkerchief delivered by a personal guard and wiped the oil on his face.

"My lord, I went to confirm it again. The old man's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Hun. He is indeed a gentleman from Prince Cheng's residence. He used to be an official in the Ministry of Rites of Dacheng Kingdom, and later taught Prince Cheng's lessons in the residence."

Xu Wenzu nodded.

"The person in the pot, I also went to check, and found that there were indeed human bones inside."

Xu Wenzu nodded again.

Throw the veil into the basin again,

Xu Wenzu breathed a sigh of relief,

To Liao Gang said:

"If he really sang the song, the stone in our hearts will fall to the ground. Without him, the soldiers will come and cover it up;

It's time to fight, it's time to kill,

Can't kill

Let's break through and take a walk.

However, the opera was sung halfway through,

In front of the hot spot, tea was being served, tapped, slapped, and blown. They were all lined up in a gourd. Why did they suddenly get stuck?

It's a coincidence that the official came to this station to rest;

It's impossible for that old thing to keep the human bone remains by his side all the time, and he has to hug him to sleep at night, right?

Looking at his posture, he clearly knows who we are.

This is the same as the opera garden in Nanwang City,

Is the wide mouth of East Street a place where your ordinary troupe can set up a stage?

In other words, since it was possible to set up a stage there, either it was supported by someone behind it, or it was really famous;

but one thing,

This can't be a bad song,

But this is what happened,

hehe,

It doesn't taste right. "

Liao Gang smiled beside him and said:

"I'm cooperating with you in peace, and being scolded by the old scribe who invited you, does it feel a bit uninspiring?"

"Hey, what do you mean, Master Liao..."

At this time,

A guard led a soldier in a flying fish suit to come in.

"My lord, this person is said to be sent by Marquis Pingxi."

"Jia Zheng, the personal guard under Lord Pingxi's command, see Mr. Xu. My Lord Hou asked me to ask Mr. Xu Fukang on his behalf."

"The person sent by Brother Zheng?"

Xu Wenzu rubbed his chin,

Then asked:

"Since you are here, where is Brother Zheng?"

"In reply to Master Xu, my master is in Xujiabao, forty miles away from here."

Xujiabao is a military fort, originally there were only 300 troops stationed there, but after the war against Chu, a large number of civilians and supplies needed to be transported from here to Yingdu, which became the main throat. In order to ensure the safety of this road, the Xujiabao It can be expanded into a fortress similar to both civil and commercial purposes, which is equivalent to a small town.

The local garrison has a Jin battalion with thousands of people. Next, it is very likely that a county government will be set up here. After all, when the three families were divided into Jin, the construction of the military and political systems in various places was not for development but for mutual defense. This process has been delayed.

"Brother Zheng, what are you doing in Xujiabao?" Xu Wenzu asked curiously, holding up his teacup.

Forty miles,

I am riding a Pixiu, which is under Zheng Fan's crotch, but it is a serious Pixiu. This distance is really nothing.

immediately,

Xu Wenzu came to his senses,

He slammed the teacup in his hand on the table,

scolded:

"Straight mother thief, this group of Jin people who don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!"

He has been curious about the next play, why did he get stuck?

Isn't it just stuck?

This time, I didn't intend to use any power in the rivers and lakes at all, nor did I intend to engage in any assassination;

As long as the Jin army from Xujiabao was pulled over and rushed here, it would not be a big problem for the personal guards under his command to take precautions against assassinations and mobs. If they encountered a regular army, they would definitely be caught blind.

But Xu Pangpang is fat-hearted after all,

After cursing,

A smile appeared on his face immediately.

Said to Liao Gang:

"Master Liao, have you seen it? This time, it's thanks to my brother Zheng. What you just said about blessings and preventing disasters is not right."

………

Xujiabao.

at the dinner table,

Lord Zheng Hou is eating soup pancakes,

On the ground beside the table, there was an officer from the Jin Dynasty lying down, already completely cold.

Meng Lun, born as a descendant of the Jin Dynasty, served as the defense of Xujiabao.

In office, he was corrupt and perverted the law, and he did several cases of colluding with officials and bandits to destroy small caravans, so he died unjustly;

but,

Zheng Houye felt that such a death was too light, so he thoughtfully charged him with treason, so that his funeral could be more prosperous.

The up and down of Xujiabao has already been controlled by Zheng Houye, otherwise he wouldn't be eating here in peace.

Gou Moli sat at the table and ate together.

"call……"

After taking two sips of soup, Master Zheng Hou breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"He Chunlai, is there any problem?"

Gou Moli immediately put down his chopsticks and replied:

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, after all, he used to be a member of the righteous men of Jin, and it's not a big problem if he hooks up with some former 'fellows' and puts on a show in the post station to pour dirty water on Prince Cheng's mansion.

If Xiao Chunzi can't even sing this well, doesn't it mean that Mr. Bei has misjudged the person? "

Zheng Fan nodded.

"It's just that, Lord Hou, there is one thing that I don't understand. Since Lord Hou, you also think that the assassination of Yingdu probably came from the scheme of Prince Cheng's residence. Why do you have to go so roundabout?"

Zheng Fan smiled,

He knew that Gou Moli wanted to answer and make himself happy on purpose.

He didn't break it either,

Directly said:

"I think that the matter may have something to do with Prince Cheng's Mansion, but the real person who is involved, or the one who makes the connection, may not be below, but on me.

Since the opponent can hit me with the domino of Prince Cheng's Mansion,

If I end up in person, wouldn't it be in his favor?

No matter what, it all fell down.

First set the tone for Old Xu,

Prince Cheng's Mansion,

It would be more appropriate for him to handle the matter after Old Xu arrives in Yingdu.

My old brother Xu,

Don't look at him as fat,

But his mind is very small. "

Lord Zheng Hou was about to drink a few more sips of soup, after all, the essence of this soup cake was still in the soup.

But who would have thought,

Suddenly, some dust fell from the eaves and fell into the soup bowl in front of him.
