Chapter 112: The Spy (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Just when the elite of more than 200,000 Eight Banners, which had been going south all the way, had just crossed the Yellow River and began to slow down, a cargo ship from the north came over at the wharf in Qinghe County, and the boss of the ship said to a monk sitting in the cabin.
"Two masters, this ship has arrived in Qinghe City, and this ship has to go to the dock where the goods are loaded, why don't you two get off the boat from here?"
The pod nodded.
"There's a giver along the way!"
Then he walked out of the cabin, stepped on the gangplank and went ashore, and Cui Bidong followed closely behind him. This monk, two monks who are similar in age and look at them no more than thirty, will always attract the attention of others, but now, Cui Bidong is no longer worried, at least here, he no longer needs to worry about being cut off by the Qing Lu because he did not shave his hair, so that he could not complete the task ordered by the master.
Although it was not the first time he had been to Qinghe, he still looked at the changing city with a curious eye, and as he walked up the stone stone steps with a relatively slow pace, his eyes occasionally fell on the red-clad soldiers at the dock, who were the soldiers of the Loyal Army, and even if they stood there, they stood extremely upright, like green pines.
No wonder the loyal rebels have been able to defeat the captives repeatedly!
Secretly said in his heart, this kind also noticed that the current Qinghe seems to be more prosperous than in the past, although I don't know if it was like now, but at least it is a little more prosperous than when he passed by here last year.
"Senior brother of this kind, since he has arrived in Qinghe, there is still something to do on the younger brother's side, why don't you ......"
Although it was only the first time he arrived in Qinghe, Cui Bidong already seemed a little impatient, after all, he came here with a mission to restore contact with Daming.
"Why does Senior Brother Cui need to be so anxious?"
This kind laughed.
"You and I go all the way south, meeting is fate, it just so happens that my brother heard that his old friend is working in the government office, if he lets him do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, it is not too late for you and me to make a difference!"
The Bureau? Appointment?
Cui Bidong, who was originally going to the government office, naturally did not refuse, and when the two of them walked towards the government office, they sometimes chatted with him today, and sometimes looked at this Qinghe, which is indeed much more prosperous than in the past. And what made his eyes even more red was that the street was full of Daming clothes that had not been seen for many years, although many people were just growing their hair, but the men on the road were wearing Daming clothes, and the scarves on their heads were either scarves, or the scarves advocated by Emperor Gao.
On the way to the government office, looking at the clothes of the old country all over the street, he only felt a little agitated in this mood, so that when Cui Bidong occasionally asked him to speak, he just nodded, without the slightest words, at this time, he was immersed in this long-lost agitation.
Finally, when I came to the Jianghuai Economic Envoy Bureau, on the flagpole in front of the Bureau, the sun and moon with the word "Ming" swayed with the wind, looking at the sun and moon on the flag, the Vermilion Bird and the big "Ming", tears almost poured out in the eyes today, this is a scene that has not been seen for many years, in the past ten years, I don't know how many times, such a picture will always appear in the bottom of his heart, until today, finally see the sun and moon again!
"The sun and the moon shine together, and the sun and the moon shine forever!"
Silently muttering this sentence in his heart, this kind took a deep breath again, and then walked towards the government office, in front of the government office, this kind of feeling finally calmed down and said to the soldiers outside the door.
"Labor is the representative of Senator Zhu, and the name of the little monk and layman is Qu Dajun......"
After all, almost every day, people come to Qinghe to join Jinglu, and many of them have a relationship with the officials of the government office. Directly took the prayer post and sent it to the government office. But it was only a moment's work, and I saw an official in his thirties wearing a third-grade official robe greeted with joy on his face, it was not Zhu Daxian, but who could it be.
"Brother Weng Shan, you and I will say goodbye...... Hey, you're ......."
Zhu Daxian, who was full of joy, saw Qu Dajun wearing a monk's robe, and his face was full of surprise.
"I've seen Brother Pingchen, you and I have been separated for nearly ten years, and in the fourth year of Yongli, the Qing Dynasty surrounded Guangzhou again, and my brother didn't want to shave his hair, so he had to cut his hair for a monk......"
In the seemingly simple words, how much bitterness is hidden in them, I am afraid that only he himself knows, after becoming a monk, Qu Dajun, who has the name of the law and the word one spirit, will live in a "dead nunnery" to show that he will not be used by the Qing court.
"Weng Shan has suffered all these years, but this is yesterday's thing, today Jiangbei has been restored, he will reopen my tomorrow sun, moon and sky, Weng Shan no longer needs to escape outside the Five Realms......"
Zhu Daxian naturally knows the talent of his old friend very well, and the old friend in front of him was employed by Chen Bangyan and was deeply influenced by his thoughts. He participated in the anti-Qing struggle launched by Chen Bangyan and others, and took the risk to collect their remains after Chen and others were killed. Yu Daming's sincere heart can be said to have always remained the same.
"Back then, I avoided the empty door, but the younger brother didn't want to shave his hair and keep the money rat tail, but now that I have recovered tomorrow, I should regrow my hair ......"
When the two of them were talking, Cui Bidong looked at the two of them with shocked eyes, he never thought that the monk who met on the road and walked all the way would actually be friends with the senator of the Jianghuai Economic and Strategic Administration, and he even began to secretly rejoice that the trip went smoothly.
The visit of an old friend who he hadn't seen for many years only made Zhu Daxian feel extremely comfortable, and it took a while to notice the Taoist priest next to his old friend, so he was surprised,
"Who is this?"
A monk together, could it be that this Taoist priest is also a righteous man who escaped into the empty door?
"Brother Pingchen, this is the younger brother and Cui Bidong's friend who met on the road......"
When Cui Bidong was introduced this time, he lowered his voice in Zhu Daxian's ear and said.
"This person's identity is suspicious, so the younger brother will lead him to the government office!"
Although there were a few steps apart, Cui Bidong didn't hear the whispers of the two, and when he heard that he was introducing him, he hurriedly saluted.
"In Xia Cui Bidong, I have seen ......"
Before he spoke, he only heard Zhu Daxian shouting coldly.
"Come on, take down this apprentice!"
When the soldiers by the door heard this, they immediately kicked Cui Bidong behind his knees, and when he knelt down in pain, the person had already been caught, and two sharp knives were already on his neck.
"Senior brother of this kind, what does this mean?"
Cui Bidong, who had never thought of being caught like this, looked at this in puzzlement, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Hmph, Brother Cui, since this is already the case, why did the elder brother go south, please recruit from the truth, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin!"
This kind of words fell into Cui Bidong's ears, so he hurriedly said.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the younger brother is definitely not a spy of the Qing Dynasty, the younger brother was sent south by the Korean Yanxi......"
