Chapter 237: First Arrival in the Jingshi
Jianhu City is located between Qinghe and Langya, which is roughly similar to the location of Dongping Lake in the present world. The position of the Beijing division is similar to that of the current Beijing division, but the Yanmen Pass is in Shanxi.
It is said that Yanmen and Jingshi are both in the north, but in fact, they form a triangle with Jianhu City, and they will not pass by Jingshi when they go to Yanmen Pass, so Suzaku must fool Zhao Changhe to turn around together.
This road is very far, and Zhao Changhe's routine is suspicious, and I don't know how many days I have walked to the north, and I gradually feel the autumn mood, and I see the ears of wheat on the side of the road and the golden yellow of the trees.
Similar to the devastation you saw on your journey south, the northern plains weren't much better.
Except for the bases where the family is entrenched in the Qing Hegu Su Langya, the situation in most places in Shenzhou is very bad. Obviously in the autumn harvest season, it looks like a bad harvest, and at this time, the north and the south are at war, and the government is more urgent to urge taxes and levies. Zhao Changhe traveled along the way, and he didn't know how many "Stone Entrenchers" and "Farewell to the Newlyweds" had been seen.
In fact, there have been people in many places who have attacked the county government and robbed the granary, compared to the so-called cottage bandits when Zhao Changhe first came to your land, and they have evolved a lot, and they have gone from Wang Lun to Song Jiang.
It's been less than a year...... The version of the copycat bandits has been updated, and Boss Zhao can't keep up with the version.
Obviously, the closer he got to the feet of the Son of Heaven, he didn't see anything better. Although it is not to the extent that there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, it is enough to feel the chaotic year.
With the Wang family's measures to eat, this has actually officially entered the troubled times, and it is no longer a "prologue".
If the current situation in the south is that the landlord class is organizing an armed response to Maitreya, then the invasion of the Hu people in the north should still be resisted by the elite border army of the empire. From what I have seen and heard before, it can be seen that many border army generals or border county chiefs are inextricably linked with the Wang family and the Cui family, and they don't know who the chief general is.
And if this master wants to be Wu Sangui, what will be the consequences? What would happen if the Wang family had taken away their army?
Another point that puzzled Zhao Changhe was that the position of the Jingshi could be regarded as the Son of Heaven guarding the country, why did the Hu people avoid here when they went south and walked to Yanmen?
Or is it because of Xia Longyuan's deterrent power?
"Of course, because of Xia Longyuan's deterrent, he can really break the army by himself in his heyday, and the number one in the heavenly list is not a joke, it is much stronger than Wang Daoning at the tail of the crane, a lot."
"Who is the Yanmen guard?"
"Marquis Jingyuan."
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, and then knocked on his head: "Oh, I remember, the ninth emperor of the earth list, Fu Yongxian?" The strength of the imperial court is not weak, actually. ”
Suzaku said leisurely: "Of course it's not weak, otherwise how can it last so long, you really think that only Tang Wanxiang can support it alone?" It's really such a waste, we have already reversed, what are we covering? ”
"Then what is the political stance of this Huangfu general?"
"How do I know, you have entered Beijing, find out Tang Wanxiang by yourself."
"I feel that you are unceremonious to Tang Wanxiang, but you seem to have a little respect for Huangfu Yongxian? actually called Jingyuan Hou, not his name. ”
Suzaku said lightly: "Those who are defending against the enemy outside the country, it is still necessary to give some proper respect." If the four elephants teach the world in the future, this kind of good general should also be encircled, right? ”
"Then if you win the world, what about Tang Wan's makeup?"
"If you become a slave, I will reward her as a slave to you."
"......" Zhao Changhe couldn't cry or laugh.
Suzaku also found it interesting, the perspective and direction that Zhao Changhe observed all the way......
Suzaku can be sure that Zhao Changhe really doesn't have the idea of being a prince, but the perspective is naturally in this direction.
Or it should be said that it is not the same as the perspective of the prince, but it is a bit like an abstract perspective, watching from the sidelines, overlooking the world, analyzing the reasons for its formation and possible deductions.
It's not so much the perspective of the prince as the eyes of the gods and Buddhas that are slightly exposed above the clouds in the sky.
Suzaku thought about it, and the fun slowly disappeared, and it was a little throbbing.
She asked a little cautiously: "You said that you only care about the rivers and lakes." ”
"yes, didn't I do it all the way?"
Not only that, for a lot of injustices, Zhao Changhe wasted a lot of extra travel time, otherwise he would have already entered Beijing at this time. Suzaku couldn't blame him for wasting time, she knew very well that if this kind of thing stopped Zhao Changhe, he would be anxious with herself.
Chivalrous and righteous, the road is uneven, in Zhao Changhekou, that is the main meaning of his martial arts.
You're embarrassed to say you're a bandit.
As a result, the Demon Sect Venerable, who killed people without blinking, accompanied the chivalrous warriors on the road to save the old man and save the orphan girl and saved a lot of them, and in the end, it was not without benefits, and all of them were placed in the nearby Four Elephant Sect branch altars, and the right to recruit new ones.
In fact, the rise of the Demon Sect in the troubled times, the main new blood came from this, and the Maitreya Sect is more typical in this regard. The Four Elephant Sect is not nothing, and it is also forming a private army of the Demon Sect, but it is not as hungry as the Maitreya Sect.
In fact, the Four Elephants Sect is more elite in this regard, because of the true identity of Xuanwu Suzaku...... I know a lot more than Maitreya.
These flashed through his mind, and Suzaku was still asking: "You said that you only care about the rivers and lakes, but I don't see your perspective like it." ”
"What? More macro? ”
"Hmmm......"
"Chivalry doesn't have to be only uneven on the road, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, there is another kind."
"Which?"
"The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people."
Suzaku: "...... Where did this concept come from, this thing is called chivalry? You just say that you are the Demon Suppressor. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? Originally, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Zhao Changhe laughed and galloped on his horse: "The white horse is decorated with a golden bondage, and it gallops northwest." By asking whose son, the ghost and the ranger...... Donate your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home! It's not chivalrous! ”
"Drive!" The black horse galloped away.
Suzaku sighed, she didn't want to get this answer.
In fact, Zhao Changhe knew what the answer this young lady wanted to get, the sect, if there is nothing to do, it will be a god and a Buddha...... But that's not what she thinks.
The little sister of the winged fire snake was sent by the Vermilion Bird Venerable to follow, although she verbally said "not to send a woman", in fact, it still contains a very strong hint of this taste, so Zhao Changhe always wants to flirt and even itch to hug and kiss, this young lady herself is probably subconsciously a little bit of that meaning? Even if it doesn't, it has to be a little bit of that meaning, which leads to the relationship between the two parties being very ambiguous from the beginning.
But Zhao Changhe didn't want to use the specious "gods and astrological signs" to deceive the cannon. That kind of scum thing was done by Xia Longyuan, not him Zhao Changhe.
Let's talk about feelings, how good is the sticker...... Because unconsciously, this young lady is already the woman who has been with him for the longest time except for Chi Chi.
This journey has been sleeping together, hand in hand, fighting swords, and has been nearly a month.
Familiarity and habit are terrifying forces, just like when Luo Qi woke up in the morning, he found himself sleeping soundly on Zhao Changhe's chest. Suzaku is the same, she didn't notice it herself, she used to protect the ball with both hands against his back when the horse was bumpy, but now she is lazy, and from time to time she hits his back with the ball, she doesn't feel it, and he doesn't feel it.
Sometimes, his hands are subconsciously still around his waist, and he doesn't feel it, and he doesn't feel it.
The horses galloped, surrounded by the hands of the young lady, and the majestic city loomed in the distance, under the black clouds covering the sky, depressed like a mountain.
After hesitating on the road in recent months, the autumn mood is getting stronger, and the Beijing division is in sight.
Zhao Changhe's calm and breezy mood suddenly became a little nervous, and he almost had the urge to retreat, but he forcibly suppressed his mind and moved forward slowly.
Jingshi has always been a place of avoidance, and I never wanted to touch it so early, but the karma is here, why not explore it?
"You can't wear a pig's face here." Suzaku dismounted far away: "I'll find a way to get in by myself, you can go directly into the city." ”
Zhao Changhe asked: "Then how can I contact you after I go in?" ”
Suzaku smiled: "Don't try to find out my real body...... Anyway, everywhere you go is the focus, and I'll look for you when I've taken care of things. ”
After saying that, he quickly disappeared.
Zhao Changhe didn't wear any pig face anymore, restored his original appearance, and entered the city.
"Stop, no galloping horses in the city, dismount and lead!" The spirit of the gate guards was better than any city I'd seen before.
As I've seen before, it's all lazy, and whoever cares if you ride a horse or not, it's not bad if you don't extort a city tax by the way.
Zhao Changhe didn't care about the guards' obstruction, but felt that it should be so, and dismounted and paid money to pay the city tax.
The guard waved his hand: "First time? Jingshi does not need to enter the city, submit the road guide, and go in honestly. Look at the knife on your back, don't fight, Tang Shouzao is now in Beijing, you lawless people in the rivers and lakes are leisurely. ”
Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing: "You respect Tang Shouzao very much." ”
"That's nature." The guard didn't bother to say anything to him, and stretched out his hand: "Where is Lu Yin?" ”
Zhao Changhe never checked Lu Yin wherever he had passed in the past, and he never thought about making a copy of this thing, but the needs of the Jingshi, especially in wartime, he understood it very well, and when he was in some trouble, there was a laugh behind him: "Lu Yin is nothing more than to determine his identity, this person's identity is known to the world, why bother looking at it again." ”
A group of people turned their heads to look, but it was a boy who shook a folding fan and said with a smile: "Qianlong Thirteen Zhao Changhe, you have posted a wanted notice before, but you don't know each other?" ”
Qianlong Thirteen, it is not a big deal for the land of Jingshi, and the onlookers do not care much, and continue to enter the city.
But Zhao Changhe clearly saw that the expressions of many guards had changed slightly.
He could almost feel that there was another wind and clouds rolling, and he was sure that the five words "Zhao Changhe entered the city" would sweep through the capital division in just an instant.
Zhao Changhe sighed: "Dai Gongzi, aren't you from the Dai family in the northwest, why are you here?" ”
It was the son of the Dai family in the northwest when Langya was arguing about the sword, and Zhao Changhe even forgot what he did at that time.
Dai Gongzi said with a smile: "Who doesn't have any industry in Beijing......"
"This is called the Beijing Office?"
"What's that?" Dai Gongzi said leisurely: "Do you have a place to live in Beijing?" Do you want to stay in my house? ”
