Chapter XXVII: The Fall

The picture that flashed in Sun Jue's mind at this time was nothing else, it was the picture that seemed like a prophecy that he had accidentally appeared in his mind before.

What he saw was a figure falling, followed by a streamer of light, with the city in front of him in the background.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Sun Jue frowned, not at all delighted at the place of prophecy.

If the image that flashed in his mind would happen next, did it mean that the future was already doomed?

Or is there a black hand at hand?

Or is it just a coincidence?

"Or maybe it's a prophecy based on my character, so it just so fits?"

Sun Jue was silent.

For him, the function of this prophecy was to make his heart uneasy.

Of course, all this is built on the previous weird time-travel, as well as the original "system".

Why was it so coincidental that he was chosen?

Was it a coincidence, or was there some secret in him that he didn't know?

Moreover, this constitutes a "system" thing, which is a bit of a coincidence.

The prototype of the Killing Dao Fruit is pinned on the incomplete Great Yan Treasure Book, but it has a different kind of vitality.

But this happens to be in line with the general effect of playing games, Sun Jue only thought that this was originally a system, but then he found out that these two rare treasures were simulated according to his memory.

"If it weren't for what happened during the ascension, I wouldn't have understood the essence of the 'system', and the subsequent baptism even removed the back hands that might be hidden in this 'system', what if this is also someone else's calculation?"

Sun Jue sighed.

"These things are still too far away for me now, and what I have to do now is to enhance my strength."

"Only with sufficient strength can we deal with possible conspiracy calculations."

"If you don't have the strength, you can be fiddled with as many people want."

Sun Jue cleaned up his mood.

"But let's see if this prophecy comes true?"

Sun Jue didn't know when this would happen, but judging from the prophecy, the momentum at that time was relatively huge.

Even if it happens at night, the more sensitive warriors should probably be able to sense it.

"Let's find out if this happened first, if it didn't happen, stay in this Rongcheng first, see when it happens, and if I can get some benefits from it then?"

After all, it has been a long time since the prophecy was made.

If it had happened a long time ago, it might not have been, so Sun Jue still needed to confirm it first.

"If it had happened a long time ago, then it was fine, the possibility of a conspiracy was very low, but if it hadn't happened yet......"

Sun Jue walked towards Rongcheng.

It was already afternoon and the gates were wide open, but there were still many people queuing up to enter the city.

Judging from the dress and demeanor of these people, many of them fled here.

"Judging from the dress and demeanor of the soldiers at the door, it seems that this Rongcheng is still in the hands of the imperial court?"

Professional soldiers are still very different from ordinary people, and there is a big difference in words, deeds, and temperament just by observing them.

These soldiers at the gate of this Rongcheng city are all angry, looking at their momentum, they know that they are not ordinary soldiers, but elites in a hundred battles.

Those rebels, it's not that Sun Jue looks down on them, if they want to train such an elite, it will take at least another half a year.

Survivors who have experienced many wars will have such a temperament.

Perhaps because of the great deterrence of these soldiers, the people in line are honest, and no one dares to make a mistake.

Even a caravan, with a scale of hundreds of people, and an unusual identity, is still honestly lined up.

"I don't know who the county guard of Qingdai County is? It seems that he has a lot of ability, and he can train this kind of soldier, not an ordinary character. ”

"Of course, it is also possible that this county lieutenant is more powerful."

Sun Jue was thinking about it while observing his surroundings and gaining some insights from the conversations of the people around him.

Soon, Sun Jue entered Rongcheng.

As soon as I entered, the various voices clearly entered the ears, which seemed extremely noisy.

Even when the surrounding area is in turmoil, the city is still extremely prosperous.

The shops and restaurants are all open for business, and the vendors are also working hard to promote what they sell.

If you just look at this, it seems that the world is still in a time of peace.

However, if you look at some streets and alleys and other places, and look at the many beggars, you can see the chaos hidden under this prosperity.

"This county guard is not afraid of those Taiping Dao people mixing in, and when the time comes, I am afraid it will not be easy to guard the city."

Sun Jue had learned before that Qingyang County was so easily breached.

And although the quality of the soldiers in this Rongcheng is higher and the guards are high, if there are enough people, it is a very dangerous thing to storm the city gate at a critical moment.

If you are not careful, the city gates may be lost, and the entire city may fall.

"Maybe people have a full plan for a long time, but I don't have to worry about it so much, and even if this city falls, it's none of my business."

For Sun Jue, as long as it doesn't have any bad influence on him, it doesn't matter who controls this city.

"I'll go and deliver the letter first, and then ask if there are any masters of the Earth Hell Realm near this Rongcheng."

"Presumably, as the second uncle of Qi Boyang, he should be able to know a lot of relevant information, right?"

According to Qi Boyang, his second uncle Qi Heng was a member of the soldiers in the county guard.

In normal times, it may not be as good as other officials, but if there is chaos today, the status of officials related to military affairs is rising.

"Moreover, this soldier Cao usually has nothing to do, and he also has the duty to assist in the arrest of thieves, so he should pay special attention to those who are strong in martial arts."

After Sun Jue asked the location of the county guard's mansion, he went directly to the door.

"Stop, this is the county guard's mansion, who are you? Dare to come near here? ”

The guards at the gate of the county guard looked at Sun Jue angrily, and the fierce eyes were enough to make the timid people afraid and dare not speak.

However, this is nothing for Sun Jue.

He has dealt with more elite soldiers than this, and even personally led them, although these people are elite, but in the end their strength is average.

"I'm tired of the two of you to help spread the word, I'm from Qingyang County, and I'm here to deliver a message to Qi Heng of Bingcao."

Hearing Sun Jue's words, the eyes of the two soldiers suddenly widened.

"You're here to find Bing Cao Peng?"

Sun Jue was slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted: "If there is no other person named Qi Heng in the county guard's mansion, it should be him." ”

[Before, Qi Boyang said that this Qi Heng was a subordinate of Bing Cao, but he didn't expect to become Bing Cao Peng. 】

This Bing Cao Peng is the leader of Bing Cao, that is to say, the boss of this department.

In this way, the difference between power and subordinate officials is very different.

And it is equivalent to the head of a certain department in the company, and it can be ranked in the entire county guard's office.

"Then please wait here for a while, and I'll go and inform Qi Bingcao."

The soldier's tone was much softer than at the beginning.

There is a high probability that these soldiers are also subordinate to Bing Cao, and knowing that Sun Jue is here to find Qi Heng's boss, they naturally have to be polite and polite, so as not to be hated.

"The Great Age of Genes"

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

Sun Jue didn't care about the change in tone between his words.

As long as it's not too much, he doesn't bother to bother with ordinary people.

are just passers-by in his long life.

didn't let Sun Jue wait longer, and before half a cup of tea was left, the soldiers who had previously entered the county guard mansion to report the news came out.

"Qi Bingcao wants to see you, come with me."

Sun Jue nodded, and followed the soldier into the county guard's mansion.

"There are a lot of big people gathered in this county guard's mansion, don't look around, pay attention to your behavior, otherwise you may get yourself into trouble......"

The soldier led the way, and then said some precautions.

Everyone has a different personality, maybe it's just a small thing, but in the eyes of some people, it looks very unhappy, and maybe it will be rectified when the time comes.

Such troubles are rare, but they are not unfounded.

Sun Jue listened to the chatter of this soldier while constantly observing the county guard.

Perhaps because it was almost evening, along the way, I met many officials who went home "from work".

"Here, here is Qi Bingcao."

"Thank you."

Sun Jue thanked him and entered the room.

As soon as he entered, Sun Jue saw a middle-aged man sitting behind a desk, holding a brush in his hand, writing in a dragon and snake.

Sun Jue didn't bother.

It wasn't until the middle-aged man finished writing this notebook that Sun Jue spoke: "In Xia Sun Dalang, entrusted by the Qi Boyang Qi brothers, I came to deliver a letter to Qi Heng Qi's second uncle. ”

Qi Heng put down the brush, raised his eyes to look at Sun Jue, and then stretched out his hand.

"You may be seated."

Sun Jue was not polite, and sat down directly opposite him, and then took out the letter from his arms.

Qi Heng glanced at Sun Jue in a little surprise, and then took the letter.

It was only after seeing that the fire paint was complete that the letter was opened.

When Qi Heng read the letter, Sun Jue was also looking at everything in this room.

The arrangement is fairly simple, just a bookshelf, and a desk, and several similar desks next to it.

Probably this is where Qi Heng's daily office is.

"I wonder if my nephew has anything else to ask you?"

Qi Heng folded the letter and put it in the envelope again.

He raised his eyes, and his sharp gaze seemed to see through Sun Jue.

With his own momentum of not being angry and arrogant, ordinary people may feel a little shorter in front of him.

However, such a method has no effect at all for Sun Jue.

"Brother Qi just wants to ask about the current situation, and what should the Qi family do now?"

Sun Jue replied casually.

"I think it's all in the letter, right?"

Qi Heng nodded, looking inexplicable.

He looked at Sun Jue's abrupt appearance and said, "The letter did say that you are a reliable person who can be entrusted with some things. ”

Hearing this, Sun Jue hurriedly waved his hand: "That's all Brother Qi's praise, my little ability, I can do something that can be done with a raise of my hand." ”

He doesn't want to do things for nothing, let alone take risks, and wants to use words to trick him, so don't even think about it.

He didn't have much interest in helping people do things, and if he hadn't lived in Qi's house for a while, he wouldn't have wanted to come to deliver letters.

Qi Heng smiled when he heard this, and his stiff smile made Sun Jue feel awkward.

"Second Uncle Qi, you have to stop laughing, it's weird."

Sun Jue looked at Qi Heng helplessly.

This Qi Heng's facial lines look extremely cold and hard, and he is probably usually a person who does not smile, so it feels extremely strange to laugh suddenly.

Qi Heng was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his facial paralysis.

"Your character is extremely ...... Well, there is guts. ”

When ordinary people see him, even if they are not afraid, they will be serious.

is not like Sun Jue, so casual, and also said that he laughed so much.

It's extremely bold.

After all, such remarks, if you change to a small-minded person, maybe you will hold a grudge.

"Don't, don't praise me, I'm not a bold man, I just don't care about some things."

Sun Jue has always been cautious and cautious, and he may not lack courage, but he is not a tiger.

The reason why he behaved so casually was because he really didn't care about Qi Heng's status.

Another is that he learned about Qi Heng from Qi Boyang and knew that he would not bother with him in this kind of thing.

So Sun Jue deliberately used this way to bring the relationship between the two closer.

Originally, he was just a fellow villager who came to deliver letters, and at most he had something to do with his nephew.

But when Sun Jue did this, he made this relationship, which was not close, like a small talk between close people.

Only by getting closer can you get the information you want.

For his own purposes, Sun Jue doesn't mind using some means.

The corners of Qi Heng's mouth moved slightly, probably wanting to smile, but thinking of Sun Jue's words just now, he restrained his smile again.

"For example, today's situation is indeed not optimistic, and most of our Zhuozhou has fallen, including Rongcheng."

"Huh?"

Sun Jue looked at Qi Heng with doubts, "Rongcheng has fallen?" ”

When he came, he obviously looked good, huh?

Moreover, the entire county guard did not see anything unusual.

Even Qi Heng himself didn't have any problems, why did he suddenly become a fall?

"Rongcheng has indeed fallen, the county guard has actually joined Taiping Dao before, and the county lieutenant seems to have compromised, and now Rongcheng seems to be the same as before, but in fact it has fallen."

Qi Heng sighed, "However, this may not be an opportunity for us people. ”

Dachang has been established for more than 200 years, and the class has been solidified, and people like Qi Heng are already good to be officials.

It's too difficult to go further.

Sun Jue's thoughts turned: "Then why is there no wind at all?" Did the county guard really join the Taiping Dao, or did he have some ideas of his own? ”
