Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Kingdom Does Not Exist, And the People Will Be Attached
It is estimated that the merchants of all sizes in the Western Capital know him.
Ji Jing simply put on the human skin mask of the Silver Sword Boy again, and no one should recognize him now.
Ji Jing also learned the truth about the human skin mask of the Silver Sword Boy from Huang Jun.
It turned out that Duanmu Yin, the son of the silver sword, and Duanmu Yin's father were killed by the interrogation guards led by Cao Yu when they were evil ten days ago, including the drill gopher.
Therefore, the identities of Ji Jing and Huang Jun did not reveal any clues.
Although he was already wearing a human skin mask, Ji Jing didn't have the heart to go to the Qinglou or eat and drink again.
If he goes to the wind and snow again, eats, drinks and has fun, he will feel guilty.
So he took Xiao Guizi to the outside of the city, ready to relax.
Out of the city, facing the green mountains and green waters, Ji Jing's mood was a lot easier.
At this time, I saw a peaches seller on the side of the road.
From the time he left the palace to the present, there have been two hours, and Ji Jing, who has not yet entered the water, is not only thirsty but also hungry.
When you see someone selling fruit, you won't miss it.
He stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "Uncle, how do you sell peaches?" ”
"You don't need money, you can eat as much as you want." The vendor looked up at Ji Jing, who seemed to be thinking about the problem, and responded a little absentmindedly.
"No money?"
Ji Jing was stunned, he didn't want money, it was the first time he had encountered such a vendor.
So why does the other party pick fruit to sell?
Xiao Guizi also encountered this situation for the first time, and scratched her head in confusion.
"Ah~~"
The merchant also knew Ji Jing's doubts, sighed lightly, and said sadly: "If the country does not exist, the people will be attached." Even if I sell all the peaches today, what's the use? Once the country is destroyed, all lives are gone, and this little profit is nothing. ”
Ji Jing was taken aback, could it be that the other party recognized him? Deliberately trying to tell him this?
It can't be!
He was wearing a mask, and it was impossible for anyone but a limited number of people to know his true identity.
But he was even more surprised by what the other party said.
'If the kingdom does not exist, the people will be attached.' That's not something that ordinary people can say.
Even some truly patriotic literati may not have such insight, let alone an ordinary trader.
Ji Jing couldn't help but take a closer look at the other party, only to find that the other party was different from ordinary vendors.
Although the other party is wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his body is also stained with mud, and he is also older, his temperament is elegant, his eyes are bright, and his body is strong and full of a sense of strength.
The other party is not only a scholar, but even a martial artist.
At this moment, Ji Jing suddenly became interested.
He didn't think the floor was dirty, so he sat down beside the old man, then took a big, red peach from the basket, wiped it on his clothes, put it in his mouth and bit it.
Ji Jing asked while biting: "I haven't asked my father-in-law for your surname, why did you say such a thing?" ”
"Childe is polite."
Ji Jing's informality, not disliking the poor and loving the rich made the other party appreciate it very much, and said with a smile: "The old man's surname is often Tianfu, which makes the son laugh." ”
"Tsuneta?"
It is indeed a bit misleading if the surname is not added to this name, but after the surname is added, there is a feeling of returning to the basics.
"Uncle Chang laughed, the name is just a code name, and there are high and low." Ji Jing smiled slightly and explained.
"The name is just a code name, there is no distinction between high and low, Childe said it really well." Tsuneta Fu was even more impressed by Ji Jing.
"Gongzi is really a person with great wisdom, but unfortunately the national disaster is at the head, and the emperor loses confidence, otherwise if Gongzi enters the official career, he will have a great achievement."
"Ah~~"
Chang Tianfu couldn't help but shake his head, thinking of the national disaster, even if he has a full stomach, what if he is full of enthusiasm? I couldn't help but have a gloomy expression.
"Uncle Chang is talking about the matter of the million-strong army of the five countries pressing the border." Ji Jing asked.
"yes. If the emperor is willing to use the strength of the country to resist the enemy, there may not be no hope. Tsunata looked lonely.
"National affairs, we and others are powerless." Ji Jing shook his head and said unconcernedly.
"You can't say that."
Chang Tianfu looked at Ji Jing and said sharply: "As long as each of us takes action and let the emperor see hope, the emperor will definitely cheer up and resist foreign enemies!" ”
Ji Jing: "......"
"Childe's surname, if the old man is immortal, he will talk to Gongzi again every day." Tsuneta said in a deep voice, his eyes were unprecedentedly firm, he had already made a decision.
"Ji ...... Week nine. ”
"Uncle Chang, who are you?" Ji Jing's eyes showed doubt, and he looked at Chang Tianfu with a determined face.
"I'm going to enlist in the army and serve the country with my crippled body."
Chang Tianfu slowly stood up, and looked firmly in the direction of the north of the city, which was the direction where the Great Zhou Palace was located.
"Gongzi Zhou, the old man is one step ahead."
Chang Tianfu retracted his gaze, hugged his fist at Ji Jing, didn't even want peaches, and strode forward.
Looking at Chang Tianfu's straight back, Ji Jing seemed to see a famous anti-gold general in history - Xin Qiji.
"Uncle Chang, please stay."
Ji Jing stood up and said loudly at Tsunata Fu's back.
At the same time, he shouted Huang Jun.
Huang Jun immediately showed his figure, Chang Tianfu also stopped, turned around, looked at Ji Jing, and said with a smile with hope in his eyes: "Zhou Gongzi, do you want to walk with the old decay?" ”
Ji Jing did not answer Chang Tian Fu immediately, but asked Huang Jun to give him paper and pen.
Huang Jun has to keep in touch with Cao Yu on weekdays, so he naturally carries a pen and paper with him.
Ji Jing quickly wrote a few words on the paper, then folded them together, and then walked towards Chang Tianfu.
In Chang Tianfu's puzzled gaze, Ji Jing smiled and said: "I have some friendship with Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister of the current dynasty, Chang Laozhang took this letter of introduction to find Fan Cheng, and he will arrange for you to enlist in the army." ”
"Gongzi Zhou knows the Prime Minister!"
Chang Tianfu was shocked, no one in the entire Great Zhou knew about Prime Minister Fan Cheng, and the Great Zhou could have a new look today.
It can be said that Prime Minister Fan Cheng has made great contributions!
Prime Minister Fan Cheng is the person Chang Tianfu admires the most, and when he thought that he would be able to see Prime Minister Fan later, his body trembled slightly.
"Thank you, Master Zhou!"
Chang Tianfu endured the excitement in his heart and bowed deeply to Ji Jingyi, then took the letter of introduction and strode away.
Looking at the back of Chang Tianfu leaving, Ji Jing said to Xiao Guizi: "Go back to the palace." ”
Ji Jing felt that it was necessary to talk to Fan Zhongyan again, whether he needed to change his strategy and use the strength of the whole country to fight against the million-strong army of the five countries!
……
Whoosh ......
From time to time, carrier pigeons break through the sky from various hidden corners of the Western Capital.
It was the secret agents of the enemy countries such as the Five Kingdoms, Inurong, and Beiyi who sent the news back.
The main news is: The Great Zhou Emperor lost confidence in resistance in the face of the pressure of a million troops, not only did he have no intention of organizing troops to fight, but he was willing to degenerate and go out of the palace to look for flowers and willows, eat, drink and have fun.
