Chapter 27: Left Thousand Households
There is a glimmer of light in the dark sky at night, and the darker the environment, the more obvious it is, but if you have a lighting tool such as a torch that exceeds the sky, you will not feel the glimmer of the sky, because the human eye is sensitive to the environment......
In ancient times, people in poor families rarely went out at night except for some special occupations, because it was difficult to see meat food on weekdays, and vitamin A could not be supplemented, so they basically had night blindness, and the night in the eyes of normal people was really dark for night blindness.
So there are very few people who travel at night.
Unless it is a special profession, a bandit or an officer or soldier.
At this moment, a team on the mountain road is slowly moving forward, dressed up, and it is the people of the imperial court.
In front of them there were several large horses leading the way, and in the middle there was a cart dragging a cart, but there was only a wooden frame for the prisoners, on which stood an old man with his hands chained, unkempt, and with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was asleep or not.
Next to the wooden shelf, there was a man in a simple red coat and a black cloak, who checked the situation of the old prisoner from time to time, and seemed to be very concerned about his life and death......
The man's name is Zuo Xiong, and he is a thousand households of the imperial court, and his duty is to garrison important prefectures to suppress some rebels and rebel against the party and maintain local order.
This time, Zuo Xiong, as Zuo Qianhu, was ordered by the emperor, and was responsible for escorting Fu Tianqiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had a "heart of rebellion", into Beijing to face the saint, and waited for the emperor to deal with it further......
If you don't do it effectively, you will disobey the holy decree, and the whole family will be beheaded at best, and the nine clans will be exterminated at worst.
Fu Tianqiu hung on the wooden shelf with his two hands, and he could only stand on the wooden board and bump along the way, unable to sit down at all, even if he wanted to live, it was a little difficult, and at this moment, he was completely relying on the safety of a pair of daughters outside, and forcibly supported it.
He was the governor and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he thought that he could reverse the darkness of officialdom by himself, but he did not expect that the rebellious ministers and thieves had seriously infiltrated the imperial court, covered the emperor's eyes and ears, and used the emperor's hand to eradicate dissidents and frame Zhongliang......
Thinking of this, Fu Tianqiu couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in his heart, when he was young, he studied hard for fifteen years, he had the world in mind, and he wanted to benefit the people of Limin, but in the end he couldn't do anything!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he saw this reckless man Qianhu who was escorting him, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't stare at me, you can't die for the time being!" Today, the prestige of the imperial court is seriously damaged, it is not trusted by the people, and it is not popular with the people, it is you brainless people who do not know how to distinguish between right and wrong and grievances have become butcher's knives in the hands of traitorous ministers, and we loyal ministers and righteous men have been cut and killed! ”
Zuo Xiong listened to Fu Tianqiu's scolding, was silent for a moment, took out the water bag and handed it over: "Master Fu, drink some water to moisten your throat." ”
He looked at the scars on Fu Tianqiu's wrists that were strangled by the iron cuffs, and sighed in his heart, the court law, everything must be carried out according to the rules, and it is impossible for Fu Tianqiu to sit and go to the capital.
"Master Fu, the grievances in the court are beyond my ability to intervene as a martial artist, and usually things are black and white, I ...... I just acted on orders, but I promise that I will send Master Fu to the capital safely. ”
Fu Tianqiu was squeezed out by hundreds of officials of the imperial court and was wronged, of course Zuo Xiong knew, but as he said, no matter how powerful he was, he was just a martial artist, and there was no problem in killing the enemy in battle, but it was impossible to meddle in the arrangements of the imperial court......
All he could do was to try to ask for help from high-ranking officials who had the ability to speak in front of the emperor.
For example, Pudu Cihang, the protector of the country, who has been very popular by the emperor's side recently, all the sacrifices in the palace, the emperor must first ask the abbot for permission before proceeding, so you can imagine how influential it is......
That's when the line stopped.
The subordinate who opened the road in front turned his horse's head and came over: "Lord Qianhu, there is a person blocking the road in front, the wind is high in the dark night, I can't see his appearance clearly, and I don't dare to act rashly for the time being!" ”
Zuo Xiong frowned, reached out and pressed on the handle of the knife on the saddle: "I'll take a look!" ”
Riding a horse to the front of the team, I looked closely, and sure enough, there was a man standing in the middle of the mountain road, wearing a long robe, with very short hair, and the scholar did not look like a scholar, and the monk did not look like a monk. He shouted: "I am a thousand households in the imperial court, and I am ordered to escort the Qin prisoners into Beijing, who dares to stop me from going way, do you have to go against the imperial court?" ”
The visitor carefully looked Zuo Qianhu's outfit up and down, as if he was looking for something, and Zuo Qianhu felt very uncomfortable.
The person who came was Chen Qiqi, who saw with his own eyes Zuo Qianhu, who had the most personal charm in "The Way of the World", was really extraordinary, and his qi and blood were much richer than ordinary people!
He clasped his fists with both hands and said straight to the point: "At the beginning of the poor Dao Chen, now the world is chaotic, good and evil are difficult to distinguish, the gods are not visible, and the underworld is empty. ”
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Chen Chu spoke quickly, especially the words "in the body of a living person" were bitten very hard.
Isn't that a place where the dead go? Zuo Qianhu's eyes are better than those of his subordinates, and he doesn't look like a charlatan at the beginning, so it's late at night at the moment, so it's better to rest on the spot and see what the other party wants to say......
That's it!
The glass bottle hanging on Chen Chu's waist suddenly floated up and made a sharp voice: "Zuo Qianhu!" The poor monk is the protector of the imperial court, Pudu Cihang, who preached the scriptures along the way out of the palace, mistakenly believed in the demon way, was victimized by it, and his soul was sealed in a bottle! Hurry up and kill the demon Dao, don't give him time to cast spells, and when you return to the palace, the poor monk will definitely say a few more good words for you in front of the emperor! ”
Chen Chuchu: "......"
After a battle against the old demon of Montenegro, Pudu Cihang was greatly injured, and his original form appeared, becoming a little centipede, half-dead.
Sealed it in a glass bottle of alcohol, in order to hang its life and prevent it from recovering from its injuries, Chen Chu knew that it was not dead, but he didn't know why he didn't speak, it turned out that he was waiting for his fate......
"The voice of the Priest!"
Zuo Xiong's position is neither high nor low, the emperor has seen it from afar a few times, but the protector has had several close exchanges, and the impression is that he is kind and good, and his conversation is extraordinary, and there seems to be a Buddha's light flashing around his body! Pudu Cihang wants to go out to preach the scriptures for the people of the world, Zuo Xiong has heard a little......
But being caught, this is something he didn't expect.
This strange Taoist Zuo Xiong didn't know, but Pudu Cihang's special voice was recognized, and he thought quickly in his heart, and immediately pulled out a long-handled Pu (po) knife from the saddle, and shouted: "Daoist, speed up and untie the bottle from your waist, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" As soon as the sound came out, the person had arrived, and the tip of the knife had reached the top of Chen's head, and the speed was as fast as lightning!
Chen Chen's two fingers were covered with a golden light spell, and they flicked on the blade of the Pu knife, clang, the sound of metal sounded, and his fingers were numb, Zuo Qianhu's knife was more powerful than he imagined! He also wanted to have a discussion with this character who appeared in "The Way of the World", known as the ceiling of martial arts......
Zuo Xiong saw that this person blocked the blade with two fingers, and his heart chuckled, and the green tendons of his arms burst out, and he pressed it hard!
Chen Chu's feet sank directly into the ground and reached his ankles, and the ground around him couldn't withstand Zuo Xiong's power, and there was a boom and explosion, and stones and dirt were everywhere......
