Chapter 728: King Qin's Escort
Mr. Yan nodded in agreement.
He smiled at Chen Kaizhi and asked slowly, "So, does the Protector have a means to deal with it?" β
When Chen Kaizhi heard this, the corners of his lips hooked, revealing a faint smile.
"I, in fact, am a very simple person, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, I am a very complicated person, but I think that they should have misunderstood me, I only recognize one dead reason in my life......"
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, but his hand was still rubbing the case, and he didn't continue to speak, but in his eyes, it seemed to be smiling, and it seemed to be a sly light.
The night was getting deeper, starless and moonless night, and it was extraordinarily dark.
The pier outside the city.
It seems to be restless and restless.
Most of the people here are poor, they are all built with water buildings or sheds along the canal densely without end, here is damp and dark, even if it is daytime, it is difficult to see the lighting, in such a dark night, it is even more black to see the five fingers, the feet are busy all day in the morning, at this time should be asleep, occasionally, there will be night cries and dog barking.
This dense network of water is like a mess of mud, and it usually carries a foul smell, so that ordinary servants refuse to come.
The institutions that manage here belong to the household department, naturally, the adults of the household department can not condescend to come here, for them, they only need to care about the problem of grain storage, so for hundreds of years, the real managers here, most of them are the so-called 'incense heads' that grew up from the water village, they are upward, and the treasurer on the top, responsible for uniting, and the merchants to negotiate the price of unloading and loading, and down, is the manager of the water village.
But today, the night that should have been peaceful has become unusual, and more and more torches are lit.
Immediately, in the dark sky, a sudden Kong Ming lantern rose up, and countless eyes in the underground darkness looked at the light of this Kong Ming lantern, and suddenly someone made a strange cry in the dark night.
Then, the gong sounded, first the dog barked rapidly, the sensitive child cried, and then, in the darkness, shouted and killed.
The waterway here is directly connected to the inner city, and it seems that someone has already opened the sluice gate that blocks the waterway at night, so some people enter the inner city directly from the waterway, and for a while, the inside and outside of the city gate seem to have suffered a pinching attack, shouting to kill the heavens.
This sudden shouting and killing suddenly woke up everyone.
It's just that in the middle of the night, no one knows what happened, the doors and windows of the restless people are closed, and the officers and soldiers of the battalions refrain from acting rashly, but everywhere they come and go, the scouts who go to inquire about the news are stepping on the mossy bluestone slabs in the city.
"The south gate is broken, the south gate is broken!"
Someone shouted, and then, in the darkness, it seemed that countless people poured into the doorway, and all of a sudden, the people who were originally restless, or those who were still timid and trembling, suddenly became even more restless.
A few days ago, there was a disaster near Gyeonggi, and many people who fled the famine outside the city stayed outside the city and barely survived.
Seeing that winter is coming, the weather is beginning to turn cold, but even in the capital division, there are still people who have no tiles on the top and no cones on the bottom, and have to curl up in the alleys and between the cracks in the walls in this cold night.
Even at the feet of Da Chen's Son of Heaven, in this prosperous Luoyang City, this country is far less solid than those who shout that the world is peaceful and the Haiyan River is clear.
A cacophony filled the night sky.
"There is grain ...... in the official warehouse"
The magic of this sentence is enough to make any untouchable who usually trembles in front of the officials, nods their heads, or drives them away at will, and regards them as docile cattle and sheep, suddenly burst out with blood, and they suddenly have fangs from a docile lamb.
And so.
There were shouts and shouts everywhere in the capital, and fires broke out in many places in the city.
This shouting and killing sound was clearly transmitted to the Fusi of Beizhen.
Chen Kaizhi was still kneeling in the public room, his long sword was lying across the desk, he squinted, listened to these movements, and sighed secretly, but his face was silent.
Mr. Yan also sighed.
Chen Yixing closed his eyes and looked ashamed.
The situation is more serious than the three imagined.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, looked at Mr. Yan, and sighed.
"These people, nine times out of ten, are not bandits. I originally thought that there were only thousands of people who made trouble, but now listening to the shouts from all sides, the number is five times larger, and the country and the society are really like pasted wallpaper that can be easily pierced, which is not so much a thief fanning the flames, but rather a reason why the temple princes are contemptuous of meat eaters. The people in Zhumen closed the door, and did not look at the people who were unclothed and hungry outside, but only watched the singers sing and danced in their own mansions, eating delicious food, and talking about scriptures and classics, so they thought that the world was peaceful, and the rivers and mountains of Dachen were as stable as iron barrels, but they did not know that just outside this door, there were dry firewood, and some people fanned the wind to make a little spark, so it was a raging fire. β
Now he finally knew what King Zhao wanted to do, and he also knew that these people must have been instigated by King Zhao and others.
The noise in the sky still lingers in my ears.
The corners of Chen Kaizhi's mouth hooked slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"What's even more shameful is that above the temple, some people may not know this dry wood and fire, and they can still call it stupid; But some people are like candles about this, but in order to fight for power and profit, they fan the flames and try to win the fire, which is ...... It's even more shameless! β
These words made Chen Yixing feel ashamed.
Yes, people who don't know the seriousness of the situation can be called stupid, so they are still drunk and dreaming of death, thinking that their wealth can continue like their ancestors for 500 years.
But the more shameful people are those who are clear about this, these people are clearly capable and wise, they see these situations, and they do not grieve for them, they are obviously noble, they have the ability to do their best to change these situations, to appease the desperate people, or to be gentle, or to try to calm the anger of these lowly, but what about them, they are in high positions, they are in power, they have the power to the opposition, they have the ability, they have the wisdom, but they are not willing to bother to do these things, Instead, they used their abilities and wisdom to use these 'ants' as a means for them to compete for power.
This kind of person is really hateful.
While Chen Yixing sighed, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Chen Kaizhi, and said word by word: "So it needs to change." β
Mr. Yan also nodded in agreement: "If you want to change, you need to start with the lord and you and me." He also did not forget to remind Chen Kaizhi of the current situation, "It's just that the current priority is urgent, what should we do?" β
Chen Kaizhi's brows furrowed, he smiled, and said lightly the next moment: "I said, I am a very simple person, very simple, only admit one death, two gentlemen, sit here, Beizhen Fusi is safe, now, it's my turn to deal with it." β
He got up, picked up the long sword on the case, and strode out, with the long sword in hand.
Outside the public house, in the distance, you can see the sky in the distance, and the fire is reflected, and the fire light jumping in the distance lights up the night sky, and Chen Kaizhi's face is a little red when the fire light that pours down obliquely.
Chen Kaizhi was under this firelight, squinting slightly, looking into the distance, thoughtful.
Outside the public house, it was already overcrowded, hundreds of people waited with bated breath, there were officers of the warrior battalion, and military attachΓ©s of the brocade guard, since the beginning of the night, they stood outside, without making any sound, seeing Chen Kaizhi come out, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi just looked at it for a while, then quickly came back to his senses and smiled at everyone: "Did you hear the shouting outside?" β
Everyone was silent, because they knew that the Lord Protector had something to say, so they all waited with bated breath.
Chen Kaizhi glanced around at everyone, and then said: "In the middle of the night, all of a sudden, there was chaos in Beijing, this is really a wonderful night, such a night, what is needed most is the officers and soldiers who are not just counterinsurgent, I am in the Beijing Division, there are 100,000 elite soldiers, just a group of rabble, what kind of chaos can be made?" β
Chen Kaizhi's gaze finally fell on the light of the sky, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he continued: "But, the eldest husband should do something, in such a night, something like this happens, what should we do?" β
"King Qin's escort!" Someone eagerly answered.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, and shook his head: "There are 20,000 forbidden troops in the palace, a moat, and a city wall as high as two zhang, how can thieves enter the palace?" β
So the people were silent, and continued to wait.
Chen Kaizhi finally raised his eyebrows and sneered: "However, I, Chen Kaizhi, only admit one reason, that is, no matter what happens in the capital, I will look for King Zhao, only King Zhao!" β
The logic of "......" is a bit strange. In other words, it is difficult for people who are not thinking to jump in to keep up with Chen Kaizhi's thinking.
"So!" Chen Kaizhi's face was a little cruel: "What I just said is not wrong, it is the King of Qin who should be protected, but what needs to be protected is not in the palace, but in the palace of King Zhao, and it is not Your Majesty who is diligent, but His Royal Highness King Zhao!" β
"From now on, gather everyone, except for the people left behind, go with me and go to King Zhao's mansion, in order to prevent it from happening, in order not to let the thieves hurt His Royal Highness King Zhao, I will set off immediately."
Chen Kaizhi glanced sideways at Xu Jie in the crowd, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and asked lightly: "Team Officer Xu, did you bring your artillery team?" β
Xu Jie hurriedly said: "Back to Grandpa, according to your orders, thirty artillery pieces have been transported to Beizhen Fusi." β
Chen Kaizhi nodded with satisfaction, showing a very relieved look: "Pull up all my general's cannons in case of emergency!" β
"Now ......" Chen Kaizhi stretched out his voice, looked sideways left and right, glanced at everyone, and then said sharply: "Let's go!" β
