Chapter Eighty-Three: The Li Clan of Longxi
Didaw. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The seat of the county seat of Longxi County.
This is not a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, but also the northwest gateway of Daqin and even China.
The Hexi nomads crossed the Yellow River to attack China, and Didao was a barrier that could not be bypassed.
Di Dao has great military value, so unlike the prosperous Central Plains big city, this northwest town is always murderous, the streets are full of patrolling Qin soldiers, more than 20 zhang high city tower, a frame of defensive equipment built by Mojia craftsmen is neatly arranged, and rows of archers are not leaving the strings, resisting possible enemies at any time.
Besides.
It's exotic.
Diao Chan came to this northwestern border city as the second secret envoy.
This is not only the first time that Diao Chan has carried out the mission sent by His Majesty, but also the first time to leave the Central Plains region to face the outside world, a girl who is not yet seventeen years old is the age of very curious, so she feels very strange about everything she sees here.
On the streets, people are in a hurry, there are Longxi rangers with swords and hats, and there are also chic and uninhibited Chinese scholars in cloth clothes and swords, but these are not unusual, because they can be seen everywhere in Guanzhong or the Central Plains.
Diao Chan noticed that he was attracted to the strangers.
There was a huge strong man, with a bull head and a body of two meters tall, and this horse dealer was leading a fine horse smuggled from Hexi to be sold. His eyes were the size of copper bells, his fists were comparable to a casserole for cooking porridge, his arms were almost as thick as Diao's legs, and his thighs were thicker than Diao's waist, with high bulging muscles, bronzed skin, and thick body hair, all of which had an explosive wild power.
A minotaur of the Hexi Yue clan.
In addition, there are hyenas-like Rong people who are peddling various weapons and herbs.
There are also white hairs all over them, just like the original Baidi warlocks performing tricks.
It's so interesting to have all kinds of unintelligible languages, all kinds of clothes that I haven't seen before, and all kinds of goods that I haven't seen before.
Di Daozhen is not the northwest gate of China, because of the border relationship with various foreign races, and because of the perennial fighting, it is inevitable to integrate many foreign people, although these people are northwest aliens, but it seems that they have been integrated into the Chinese group, so the activities here did not cause riots, and the residents have even become accustomed to it.
Diao Chan also spotted a strange group.
Although they are all human beings like the Huaxia people, they also wear strange exotic clothes, hang strange alien bone ornaments, wear earrings and nose rings, wear strange hairstyles, and even tattoo alien totems on their bodies.
"Quack! What's so strange!" Diao Chan's ear sounded an ugly voice, "Whether it is Donghu, Yueshi, or Xiongnu, they are all multi-ethnic forces Gaga! Take Hexi Yueshi and Northern Xiongnu as examples, Yueshi is dominated by cattle people, and Xiongnu is dominated by werewolves, but there are still quite a lot of human beings, but human beings are in their territory and their status is very low. ”
Who else is talking?
It's the noisy fat monster bird.
Qin Ge was not at ease after all, and let Diao Chan go alone.
So she called this idle fat bird to help her.
After listening to the strange bird's explanation, Diao Chan realized that although these are human beings, because their ancestors have lived outside the Central Plains for generations, their culture and inheritance come from different groups outside the Central Plains: "Why is this happening?"
Lord Jin, the fat monster bird, was happy to show off his knowledge: "Gaga! These nomadic forces like to invade others and plunder the population, swallowing this and plundering that, when a large number of people occupy and plunder, over time they will naturally settle and multiply in their land, because humans are the most widely distributed race, so it is not strange that human beings appear in this barbarian." ”
I see.
The fat monster bird seems to be unsatisfied.
"In the past, King Wuling of Zhao Hu Fu rode and shot to accept Hu compatriots, and it was precisely because of the fact that human beings were in other regions, because their status was not high, and they were eager to be accepted and recognized. Quack, so King Zhao immediately ushered in a large number of supporters when he did this, but in just a few years, he opened up thousands of miles, thus becoming the most eloquent monarch in the history of Zhao State, and the reason why Zhao Guo's iron cavalry is so strong is also because he absorbed these foreign knights who grew up on horseback!"
A man and a bird walked through the street talking.
In order to avoid getting into trouble with her appearance, Diao Chan uses witchcraft to change her image before setting off.
Now it's a neutral beauty boy about twenty years old, this kind of change of demon magic is unique to the nine-tailed fox clan, if according to Lord Jin's words, Diao Chan's illusion magic is much better than any disguise technique in the world.
The guards of the county guard immediately went in to report.
While Diao Chan was standing at the doorway waiting, there was a small furry head that came out of Diao Chan's clothes.
The nine-tailed little fox seemed to have noticed something, and its two dripping eyes stared at the county guard in front of it, and it raised its paws to make a few gestures to the sable cicada.
"You say there's a problem here?"
Diao Chan was slightly stunned.
She looked up at the county guard's mansion.
The Li family of Longxi is worthy of being born in Longxi for generations, and the county guard mansion looks very magnificent, but there is no problem from the appearance, but the little white fox has a keen sense of perception, and it should not be mistaken.
Diao Chan performed a Taoist qi looking technique.
The air flow of the county guard mansion is churning, and each breath represents a strong man who is not weak, because of the relationship between the many masters of the county guard, it is difficult to distinguish when mixed together.
At this time.
Diao Chan has made a special discovery.
There is something very special about the aura surrounding the county guard's house.
Lord Jin saw the abnormality of the Diao Chan: "What did you find?"
Diao Chan's face was a little solemn and said, "There is a very unusual evil aura in the county guard's mansion. ”
The fat monster bird flapped its wings and said, "Quack! It's unlikely! Lord Jin has just checked Di Dao's Shang Jun Array, the formation is complete and the Legalist great divine power is still working, it is impossible for ordinary demons to get close to Ga! As for the powerful demons who stay in this environment for a long time, they will also become weak Quack. ”
Diao Chan couldn't tell what it was like: "No, although it is written very evilly, it is unusual and demonic, but a breath that has never been seen before." ”
How can there be such an aura?
The fat monster bird did not doubt what Diao Chan said.
Diao Chan has the bloodline and inheritance of the Demon Saint, and what he cultivates is the top Demon Saint Technique, the Demon Clan is good at concealing the breath and is better at perceiving the breath.
Diao Chan doesn't know where the problem is.
But now there is not so much time for analysis.
Or maybe after thinking about it, everything can only be improvised.
Diao Chan couldn't help but clench her fists, this is the first independent task given to her by His Majesty, and it is a very important thing for His Majesty, no matter what trouble and accidents arise, she must complete it beautifully, and she must not live up to His Majesty's expectations!
............
At this moment.
The county keeper's house, in the study.
An old man and a middle-aged man sat on their knees and played a game.
The middle-aged man has all black hair and a thick mustache, she is wearing a black Qin Dynasty county guard uniform, with a sword at her waist, although her body is slightly bloated, but her face is full of red light giving people a feeling of incision and abundance.
This person is none other than Li Chong, the county guard of Longxi.
Opposite Li Chong was a white-haired old man whose legs seemed to be disabled.
This is very old, the figure is very burly, the gray head is long, not tied, the sides of the cheeks, left and right, so that the fierce and fiery face is a little more feminine and deep, his face has several hideous scars, one eye is still wearing a black eye patch, and it exudes fierceness and fierceness.
When the old man is young, he must be a battle-hardened person!
He picked up a chess piece and put it on the chessboard, and said casually: "Recently, a group of people of unknown origin suddenly entered Longxi from Guanzhong and stationed near Pi County, have you found out what is going on?"
"They marched quickly, never pulling out a city all the way, and they were very low-key, not quite like anti-Qin princes. Li Chong looked at the chessboard, but in fact, he was looking at the old man, and asked tentatively: "Uncle has been in seclusion for many years, and he doesn't ask about foreign affairs, why is he so concerned about the turmoil in Longxi recently? ”
"I have to see it clearly, the world is in chaos, it's messy. The old man stared at the deception in front of him with one eye, and the black and white colors were chaotic and strangled each other, "I, Li Xin, follow the First Emperor, most of my body is a horse, and now I am old and useless, but these trivial things can still help." ”
"Uncle means. ”
"I'm going to go back to the mountains and take charge of the military. ”
The identity of the white-haired old man was scared to death when he said it.
This guy is the famous Qin general Li Xin!
Li Xin is one of the great heroes of the Six Kingdoms, although there is a stain on the defeat of the Chu State, but he can still be regarded as a generation of famous generals.
Li Xin's status in the army in his early years was similar to that of Meng Tian, and even slightly higher than that of Meng Tian, and he was among Qin Shi Huang, but it was only a big defeat in the Chu State, and he was disabled in the war, so he could no longer lead the troops for the Great Qin.
Qin Shi Huang did not treat him badly.
Li Xin was directly named the Marquis of Longxi, allowing him to retire with peace of mind in his hometown.
It's been ten or twenty years.
Li Xin's rebellion against his hometown was silent.
How many people in the government and the opposition and even in the world still remember this old general?
When Li Chongzai heard Uncle Zu's words, he felt a little unbelievable and incomprehensible.
Li Xin is not an uncle, just a clan uncle, Li Chong is the most outstanding person of the Li family's generation, so he was elected as the county guard of Longxi County, and now Li Chong is in charge of all matters in Longxi County.
Li Xin is the most respected pillar of the Li family, but he has retired for more than ten years.
An old man who has been retired for more than ten years, I don't know why, has recently begun to become active again.
Li Chong hesitated a little: "Uncle is old and injured, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take over military affairs again." ”
"Even if the old man can't walk anymore, it is much better than these descendants in Longxi, during this time the Yellow River defense line has been repeatedly lost, and in the long run, the Li family is in danger, and the old man has to go out of the mountain again. When Li Xin said this, he played another chess piece and directly attacked Li Chong's hinterland, "What's the matter?
No matter how old Li Xin is, he is still the most prestigious person in Longxi.
If Li Xin had to take charge of the troops himself, Li Chong would probably be difficult to stop.
In fact, it stands to reason that Li Xin was a famous general of Meng Tian's generation, and Meng Tian could deter the Xiongnu, so why couldn't Li Xin deter the northwest, and why was it difficult to defend the Yellow River? There were no new generals in the Li family, and the old generals were willing to lead troops, which was a very good thing.
Not sure why.
The old man looked at him with a deep, slightly gloomy gaze.
Li Chong shuddered, and had a strong premonition to tell him that he would never agree to this old man's request!
At a time when Li Chong was in a dilemma.
A guard hurried over and whispered in his ear.
Li Chong hurriedly stood up and lowered his voice and said, "The people and horses stationed near this county have actually been withdrawn from Guanzhong, please invite the secret envoy to come in, don't leak the news." ”
