Chapter 1146: The Wedding Banquet
Qi used to be the most powerful country in this land, the country and the people were safe, the river was clear and the sea was Yan, and the soldiers were prosperous, intimidating neighbors.
But that's just once.
Since a few years ago, Jingguo has risen rapidly at an unstoppable speed, and left the surrounding countries far behind, the country of Qi is peaceful and the people are safe, and the soldiers of Qi are prosperous...... All the glorious history of Qi has become the past.
Of course, that's just compared to the dazzling Jingguo.
In fact, in addition to not being able to catch up with Jing Guo, Qi Guo is still strong, and I don't know how much stronger it is than Wu Guo and Zhao Guo, but even this has changed not long ago.
The development of the whole thing can be described as nine twists and eighteen turns.
The Son of Heaven died suddenly, the crown prince happened to be absent from Kyoto, and the third prince took the opportunity to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and seize the capital division.
Then the crown prince survived again, and in a very short period of time, he controlled all the troops in the Gyeonggi area, and approached the Beijing division, and now, he has been in a stalemate with the three princes for more than a month.
In order to break through the capital division as soon as possible, the prince used almost all the resources and forces that could be used in the Gyeonggi area, and recklessly, in order to make up enough money, countless wealthy families were raided, and I don't know how many people were temporarily transferred, and I don't know how many people fled at that time, in order to prevent population loss, Gyeonggi Prefecture even directly sealed the city gate and forbade anyone to enter and leave......
Although this policy has been loosened now, when entering and leaving the city, it is still subject to strict inspection.
"Hey, you guys, stop!"
When the guards of the city saw someone entering, they immediately spoke loudly and walked quickly.
In recent days, most of the people who enter and leave the city are homeless, and it is rare to see such well-dressed people, so it is natural to investigate more carefully.
Of the six people in this line, three of them are gray-haired old men, and the other three have a strong man, a young man, and a young man, such a combination is quite strange.
The guard stepped forward to take a look, quickly waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go......"
Although these people are not like refugees, they do not carry blades and other things on their bodies, let alone those important people that the prince asked them to investigate, so there is nothing to search.
As long as they don't let go of the spies on the side of the three princes, they won't receive much punishment.
Li Yi and the others walked into the city gate, intending to find a place to settle down first.
This is already the city of Shengzhou, and it is where they were when he received Lin Wanru's last letter.
The city of Shengzhou is not big, far from being compared with those big cities in later generations, and it is about a little larger than the county seat in later generations, but even so, with a few of them, it is not easy to find them in this city.
After all, this is not Kyoto, nor Shuzhou, nor Ruyi City......
This is an area occupied by the Qi State, they are here, there is no power to speak of, and it is not easy to find a few people.
Xu Zheng walked around the street, and when he came back, he said, "I have found several strongholds of the Holy Sect, but this place is already extremely close to the Jingshi, so it is difficult to contact, in case there is a change. β
Li Yi nodded and said, "Don't act rashly for the time being. β
On this trip, in addition to Lao Chang and Xu Tian's second elder, Lao Fang and Xu Zheng also followed.
Lao Fang is purely idle, Xu Zheng has important things to do, finding Wanru and them is the most important thing, by the way, if possible, I want to have another holy sect......
Of course, now they can't act rashly, this place is close to the Holy Sect headquarters, it is someone else's territory, in case that Dao Gu detects, even if they have three grandmasters, things will still be a little troublesome.
After all, the Grandmaster can't stand the crowd, and if they really besiege the city with tens of thousands of troops, the Grandmaster can't do anything, although the possibility of this is very small.
In Shengzhou, several stores of the Qian family have been closed, and even seals have been affixed, the God of Money and Wealth is Zhao Yi's number one dog, if Zhao Zheng catches the opportunity, he will naturally not let go of the Qian family.
The Lin family's business has not yet had time to expand to Shengzhou, but depending on the fate of the Qian family, the Lin family has a store in Shengzhou, and it is difficult to find them.
Almost all the clues are broken like this.
Li Yi also thought about posting notices and the like, but this is Shengzhou, and the Lin family has long been labeled as King Feng, so it is a little too ostentatious, and he was excluded at the first time.
"If you can't find her, let her come out to find you, do you need to be so embarrassed?" The old voice is always so gloomy and compassionate.
The old man was surprised: "We don't even know where Miss Lin is, how can we let her take the initiative to come out?" β
Chang De looked at him and said, "If you strip off your clothes and hang them on the city wall, Shengzhou City will be known to everyone, and if Miss Lin sees it, she will know that we have arrived." β
The old man silently hid a little farther away, this old man can't beat it, it's better to hide a little.
I remember that my uncle said before that people who are physically disabled are often psychologically disabled, and it seems that today it is indeed true.
He turned his head to look at Li Yi and said, "Uncle, I think it's better for us to think about it in the long run." β
"Late is changing, of course, the sooner the better." Li Yi shook his head and said, "I think what Mr. Chang said has some truth. β
The old man looked at him and moved to the side again.
What the old man said makes sense, naturally he didn't strip off the old party and hang it on the city wall.
Using conventional methods to find it is the most time-consuming and laborious, and it is also the least efficient.
Break the routine to get miraculous results.
In this Shengzhou, the most powerful and powerful is naturally the history of Shengzhou.
Once the Shengzhou Thorn History is taken, the rest of the work will be carried out.
The old man stood on the street, stopped a pedestrian who was hurrying by, and asked, "Dare to ask how to get to the Assassin's Mansion?" β
The man looked at him and asked, "You also went to the wedding banquet of the prince of Thorn Shi?" β
"Wedding?" The old man was stunned and asked, "What wedding banquet?" β
β¦β¦
After a while, the old man walked back again and said, "Uncle, what kind of wedding banquet is going to be held in the Assassin Mansion tonight, it is said that he is the son of the Shengzhou Assassin Family, what concubine are you going to marry, should we go and join in the fun?" β
Li Yi thought about it, they went to Shengzhou Assassin Mansion today, but it was a bit too much to smash the field on the auspicious day of someone's son's wedding?
"This thorn history is really not a thing, when is this, and I still use the reason of marrying a concubine for myself, looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and the people outside are very dissatisfied......" The old man looked disgruntled, and said: "It is said that the son of the Shengzhou Thorn History has already married a seven-room concubine......
Li Yi suddenly felt that it was not too much, thought about it, and said, "Just tonight." β
β¦β¦
Today is an auspicious day, and the son of the Spur History will marry his eighth concubine today.
Of course, it is an auspicious day for Mafu, but not for the people of Shengzhou.
Every time the prince of the assassin Shi marries a concubine, they have to be taxed for this reason, it was okay before, the harvest year, it is bearable to levy such a levy once a year, but not long ago, they have been raided by the prince once, and they are exploited by the spur Shi again, and their hands are a little tight.
However, in today's Shengzhou, the words of the Spurs are the holy decree, and those who are obedient have a way to live, and those who are disobedient have only a dead end.
The people complained about this behind their backs, but on the surface, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
City gates.
Several soldiers defending the city leaned against the city wall, and one of them looked at the sky and said, "Tonight's feast in the Assassin's Mansion, close the city gate early, and maybe ask for a bowl of wine to drink......
"Pole to pole, pole to pole ......"
"The banquet of the Assassin's Mansion is not common......"
"We can't serve the table, but it's okay to stand outside and take a sip of wine......"
"It's better to close the city gates earlier!"
β¦β¦
His words were unanimously agreed by several people around him.
The prince of the assassin marries a concubine, although the etiquette is not very cumbersome, and there is no need to worship the hall or the like, but the banquet is not shabby at all, it is these people who pass by the door of the assassin's mansion and say a few auspicious words, and they can also get a little wine to drink.
Several people discussed and planned to close the city gate as soon as possible, but halfway through the city gate, they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and several people looked up to see that a tall horse rushed towards them, which frightened the three souls and hurriedly dodged.
The steed passed them and disappeared into the city, and only then did they come to their senses and scold, "What ...... not have long eyes?"
The man was long gone, and with a few curses, the city gate was closed again.
At this time, in Shengzhou City, a woman in white stopped a passer-by and asked, "How to get to the Assassin's Mansion?" β
