Chapter 37: Invitation
At the time of the Shenzhou War, the eagle room, dog prison and fishing platform in the hands of the emperor could make great contributions to it.
The three spy yamen specialized in stealing the enemy's troop deployment and movements, plotting against or assassinating its important officials, and sabotaging business routes. The methods are used in all their ways, and most of them are dead, like tarsal poison, which makes the enemy very afraid of it.
However, at that time, every mention of the three yamen in the Daxi army was with respect. They endured humiliation and heavy burdens again and again, and the intelligence of birth and death did not know how many robes they had saved to meet the enemy head-on, but they could be exposed and captured, tortured and died.
Those who are lucky will not be able to receive the reward directly, so they can only continue to move forward in fear.
The emperor once said: "In front of the two armies, throwing their heads and spilling blood, they can be described as my good sons, but those who died in the enemy camp are real heroes." ”
However, since Daxi unified Shenzhou, by the time of the former emperor Li Ji, nearly half of the three yamen who had originally monitored the outer regions were transferred to supervise the various forces in Shenzhou.
This is also undeniable, the new emperor ascends the throne and consolidates the imperial power, which is natural. But since the attack came in the snowy region many years ago, there have been many headless unsolved cases in Shenzhou, whether it is officialdom, rivers and lakes, or even business roads.
Although there is no evidence, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the handiwork of the Great Mink Temple. It can be killed by mistake, but it must be stifled by all factors that harm Daxi.
This also made some of the wealthy and powerful people of the previous dynasty frightened, for fear that they would be exterminated if they were careless, and the gelding dog was notoriously vicious. I had to ask someone to trust the relationship, and send a lot of treasures, hoping to make the gelding remember his name, and it would be great if he could meet him.
Since then, the eagle house, dog prison, and fishing platform have changed from unsung heroes admired by everyone to minions who talk about tiger color change and discredit.
——
Since there was a muffled sound when the captain was embedded in the deck, the three young men and another captain not far away hurriedly turned their heads to look.
But it took a while for the captain to talk to the fat man until he was smashed later, and then he stood up and continued rowing and singing. Although Sanxiao was a little surprised, he was not surprised.
It's just that the captain next to him sighed and complained: "What is this, how can you still beat people." ”
Although Xiao Er didn't know the details, he knew that his old brother was not a deceptive person, and there must be a hidden secret, so he said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I think it's my old brother playing with him." ”
The captain said angrily: "What are you playing, you have broken the oars, Xiao Hei is very good, very honest, only two days after coming here, I invited a few of our brothers at the dock to drink, I think it must be your old brother bullying people." ”
In the blink of an eye, he looked at the three small robes, and a trace of timidity suddenly appeared in his heart. But after thinking about it, he strengthened his courage again, and said with a smile: "The oar is broken, Xiao Hei has been fallen, and he may not be able to work for several days, little boy, can you see if you can give a few dollars of silver?"
Xiao Er looked at the thin and short man wearing a hat in front of him, deliberately squeezed out a smile, listened to his words of pleading, and even some humble words, his heart suddenly felt sour, just because he could empathize.
Whenever a poor person encounters injustice and humiliation, he instinctively resists. But when he saw that there was a powerful man on the other side, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he would tell himself in his heart, "I just think I am unlucky."
Because all the lessons have taught them that resisting can only bring the most harm to themselves.
Aren't they run by the powerful?
Anyone who is resentful in his heart, but can force a smile and beg for some silver, is a "real person".
Because they know that as long as they have money, they can live, and if they have more, they can live better. And the humiliation in the heart will be excreted with a bowl of wine or a mouthful of meat after the stomach is discharged.
The difference between the captain and the three children is that the former has been submissive and accustomed to it. But after the ruined temple where the latter once lived, more than a dozen pits of different sizes were dug by the teenagers.
Xiao Er thought about it, reached out and took out a piece or two of scattered silver from his arms and handed it over, and said softly: "Help me give it to that boatman, just accompany my old brother." ”
The captain was very happy after receiving the silver, and kept saying auspicious words in his mouth.
Ah Da on the side never said a word from beginning to end, but when he saw the captain taking the silver taels, he flattered and hateful looked, sighed long, and turned his head to look at the rushing flow under the boat.
Xiao Er's face was expressionless, and his ten fingers crossed and kept rubbing his palms.
Seeing this, the peach blossom beauty on the side pulled the cuffs of the former and grimaced at his gaze.
The young man couldn't help but smile and looked at the scenery on the other side of the river.
——
As soon as he came ashore, the donkey was very happy to run around the crowd, and it could be seen that in addition to having a good impression of the fish in the water, he was very disgusted with the water.
Everyone left the riverside and walked onto the official road to continue walking, and within a few miles, a fork in the road waited for more than a dozen riders and several large and luxurious carriages.
A man in his fifties wearing a crown of jeweled soft silver hair, a cyan robe, and a large coat on his shoulders saw Sanxiao and his group from a distance, and hurriedly dismounted and galloped.
When he arrived at Yao Lao, he hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "The junior Du Xiangzuo has seen Yao Lao. ”
Yao Lao didn't know, and said with a smile: "There are many things in Wuqiong City, how can you, the big housekeeper, be in this wilderness?"
Du Xiangzuo smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The old man should not joke with the juniors, isn't this a special trip to wait here." ”
Yao Lao was surprised and said, "How do you know that the old decay has passed since then?"
Du Xiangzuo patted his head and said: "My ancestor, you stepped on the drunken immortal building to accept apprentices, and respected the iron sword as a line for the Danzong to worship, and returned to the sect together, and now the world has spread it." ”
"The younger generation knows that this road is for you to pass, so they have counted the time and have been waiting for a few days. ”
Yao Lao Nuo thoughtfully turned his head and glanced at the fat man, who nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Du Xiangzuo hugged his fists and smiled: "I think you are asking the young people of Penglai Island in Jianjian Mountain, talking about martial arts, Du Xiangzuo is polite." ”
The fat man returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile: "Brother Du has said it, and everyone's name is ashamed." ”
Everyone saluted.
Subsequently, the three horsemen galloped back to Wuqiong City to report the news.
Everyone sat in the luxurious and wide carriage and marched slowly, and Ah Da and Xiao Er had some expectation in their eyes.
Looking forward to this martial arts city, which is known as the martial country.
