Chapter 1 Yuncheng is empty
What is Jianghu?
A hundred people may have a hundred answers to this question. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But for Zhanbai, Jianghu is the game he uses to upgrade the monster farming copy.
It has been a full year since the assassination of Gongzi Tian, just as he said to Zhan Yibai at the beginning, in the chaos of Danyang, Zhanbai disappeared from the public eye.
In this year's time, Gongzi Jun lived up to expectations and ended the chaos of Chu, and finally sat on the throne of the king of Chu, completing the gorgeous transformation from an unpowerful prince to the king of a country.
It's a pity that he can't find anyone to share his joy.
A piece of paper was handed to Mi Jun's hand through Su Qin. In the book, Zhanbai only brushed aside his departure, and more in the tone of admonition, he recommended virtuousness to Gongzi Jun.
Hundreds of thousands of displaced people carried the banner of the uprising under the bewitchment of careerists, and immediately attracted countless rivers and lakes, green forests and grasses, and joined one after another.
In the face of this military disaster, I don't know how many families died, including ordinary people, and there are many family families.
When Mi Jun led hundreds of thousands of troops back to Danyang and completely quelled the disaster, Danyang City had almost become a dead city.
The death of a large number of civil and military officials made Mi Jun's court feel very deserted.
On the occasion of employing people, Mi Jun naturally did not hesitate to reward the subordinates who followed him to fight the country, and it was his due intention to add officials to the knighthood. And Zhanbai, as the biggest hero, is also the father of Mi Jun, and he can't be treated badly.
Although Zhanbai did not say goodbye, Mi Jun still crowned him as the heirloom of Chu and gave Yingcheng as his fief. Not only that, but the talents recommended by Zhanbai are even more reused, and the most outstanding of them are undoubtedly two people, Su Qin and Sun Shuao.
In the book, Zhan Bai did not hesitate to praise at all, hoping that Mi Jun could entrust Su Qin with important tasks, and in time, he would definitely be able to reverse the military disadvantage with the Han State. In addition, Su Qin was a disciple of Guiguzi again, and was finally named Zuo Lingyin by Mi Jun to rectify military affairs.
Since there is a left order Yin, there is naturally a right order Yin.
In order to prevent another Wu Qi who has a high merit, Mi Jun can be regarded as painstaking, and even divides Ling Yin's position into two, separating the military and government, and sharing authority, which can be regarded as a clever move.
As for Sun Shuao, although he has been learning Guigu Ce with Zhanbai for a while, and his understanding is quite good, especially in government affairs, it is a pity that he is too young, and he was finally named Zhongshu Ling, which can be regarded as making the best use of things, and practicing while studying.
Let's not talk about the matter here for the time being, and I will explain it later.
Yuncheng County, is a rather prosperous city under the rule of Qi State, its geography is located in the northwest of Qi State, if you walk more than 300 miles from here to the west, you will reach the border of Qi and Qin.
As the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Continent, Qi State is all fighting other countries both militarily and economically, even in the face of Qin, there are more attacks and less defense on the battlefield.
Therefore, although Yuncheng is close to the border, it is almost undisturbed by war, and not only that, but even because of this, it has created a rare prosperity.
Because of the continuous war with the Qin State, in order to consume the other party's national strength, the Qi State relied on its hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Continent to impose all-round blockade and sanctions, not to mention military supplies, even ordinary civilian transactions were also expressly prohibited.
The blockade of Qi is not strict, but unfortunately, it still can't stop the footsteps of the good profit.
Businessmen pursue profits, and in the face of considerable profits, the law of the country cannot form a deterrent to them at all, and at most they should be cautious when acting.
The Qin State was blockaded in all directions, and its domestic supplies were extremely poor, which was precisely the greatest temptation for merchants. Since the trade on the surface is prohibited, it is better to smuggle.
And this Yuncheng prospered precisely by smuggling.
For this kind of smuggling behavior of the people, the court of Qi may not be unaware of it, but the interests involved in it are very large, and even many high-ranking officials have a part, in this case, they can only turn a blind eye.
If there is anything in Yuncheng that is the most, it is undoubtedly the black market, large and small, all kinds of black markets can almost completely represent the city's economy, as for the remaining small part, is the service industry established around the black market.
Inns, wine shops, green houses, dart boards, etc., all serve the black market.
The amount of transactions in Yuncheng every day is quite huge, and they are all shady black market transactions, it is not difficult to imagine that it will inevitably attract a large number of outlaws. Such a harsh environment has invisibly spawned a large number of down-and-out rangers who have become the bodyguards and guardians of the rich.
In short, the surface of Yuncheng is shiny, but the inside is full of filthy copper stench and bloody blood.
At this time, Zhanbai was sitting in a rather magnificent restaurant in Yuncheng County.
Changed the scribe's robe he wore on weekdays, and changed to the so-called Jianghu Ranger Suit with half leather and half silk, wearing a leather hat on his head, carrying a sword at his waist, and sitting in a noisy dining room specially prepared for "mud legs".
picked up the porcelain bowl containing wine in front of him, drank it all, and then wiped it on his wet mouth with his sleeve indiscriminately.
"Is it funny?" Zhan Bai glanced at the white-faced little student angrily.
"Sir...... Uh, brother, slave...... No, it's the little brother......" The white-faced Xiaosheng's voice was extremely crisp, as long as he was not a fool, he could hear that this was a tomboy disguised as a man.
"Well, I can't tell." Zhan Bai interrupted the white-faced Xiaosheng very boringly, and finally did not forget to advise, "Remember, my current identity is just an ordinary ranger, your sworn brother, if you are like today in the future, you don't have to stay by my side, go back by yourself." ”
"Yes, little brother remembers." As soon as the white-faced Xiaosheng heard this, his face immediately changed slightly, and he hurriedly agreed.
This white-faced student is a woman dressed as a man.
Because it is a woman, it is obviously not easy for her to recklessly slander her image like Zhanbai, so after finally seeking Zhanbai's consent, her dress is not too exaggerated.
Dressed in a clean dark blue samurai robe, with a pale gold belt around her waist, her hair was meticulously pulled up, and a ball was tied at the back of her head, which not only destroyed her beauty, but also added a lot of heroism.
In order not to attract attention, Zhanbai had to deliberately make two fake whiskers and stick them above his lips, and the servant looked as if he had four eyebrows.
The reason why Zhanbai took Xiaona on the road is that he really can't do without someone to take care of him now. The second also promised Xiao Na to follow him, and the third reason was because of the mysterious connection between her and her oviparous sister Yimei.
With Xiao Na by her side, Zhan Bai could learn about the major things that happened in Chu through the two sisters for the first time.
In this regard, Xiao Na is naturally very happy in her heart, and in the past year, she has taken care of Zhanbai meticulously, and she is almost warming the bed.
"The younger brother has something unclear, I don't know if the brother can tell me." Xiao Na really can't learn the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, plus her identity as a daughter, so she behaves in a crepe style on weekdays, quite a bit of a scholarly atmosphere.
"Say." Zhan Bai nodded, and then he didn't see him use chopsticks, so he directly grabbed the fennel beans on the plate on the wine table with his hand and threw them into his mouth one by one.
"Along the way, my brother went everywhere to learn from the mountains and sharpen his martial arts, and all he was looking for was a master who was quite famous in the rivers and lakes. But why do you want to come to this Yuncheng, even the air here emits a copper smell, although there is no lack of recklessness on the street, but there are really few opponents who can be brothers? Xiaona immediately asked.
Her words did not deliberately lower her voice, and it was a meal at this time, especially the low-class hall specially prepared for "mud legs" was even more crowded.
Although the hall was noisy, it still fell into the ears of many people, so he didn't wait for Zhanbai to speak......
"Hmph, what a big breath, little girl, are you mocking our Yuncheng people?"
