Chapter 111: Infiltrating Kyoto
In the secluded realm, on the bank of the yellow spring, the purple lotus flowers sank away.
The gray-haired demon walked slowly on the surface of the Yellow Spring, and with each step, a purple lotus flower burned, and he walked seven or seven forty-nine steps in a row, burning forty-nine purple lotuses, and these burning purple lotuses lined up into a huge summoning rune and sank down to the Yellow Spring and went straight to hell.
But after a moment's wait, the help he was expecting didn't come with the spell.
"What's going on?" the gray-haired demon muttered to himself, his emerald green eyes reflecting the embers of the purple lotus.
"Maybe the demon lord has changed his mind. Di Lu's tone was slightly mocking.
"Hmph," the gray-haired demon glanced at Emperor Lu, and at the moment he was not in the mood to joke, "Then you better pray that the old man is in a good mood." ”
He scooped up a purple lotus, woke a white soul from the lotus core, burned it purple with a squeaky scream, and sent it to the other side of hell to deliver a message.
"It's the face of the Yellow Springs Road that has been sealed. The Grey-Haired Demon said in a peculiar tone, "Who else has such abilities in this epicenter?"
Emperor Lu's mind changed, and his face gradually became solemn.
This situation is actually controlled everywhere, and if you don't seize the opportunity, you are afraid that all your fame will be buried in this inconspicuous epicenter.
"It seems that we can't wait for the time to come, and we can only force my old ministry to top a wave. ”
"Zhong Zheng Lao'er's soul has been weakened, and when it is dispersed, his body can no longer be used, if it can be replaced by a long stay in time, it is the best. ”
"I need to keep that body, you demon don't need to disguise anymore. “
Yan returned to Wancheng and told Qi Xu that he was waiting for an appointment.
The two of them changed their appearance and wanted to practice and blend into Kyoto.
On the road, I saw a lot of people dragging their families with their mouths, and they were all from Kyoto.
Ding Yan stopped the family and asked the man in charge, "Big brother, are you in such a hurry and in a hurry, are you going to move out of Kyoto?"
The man looked at the two of them and said, "The two brothers are going to enter Beijing?"
"Exactly, my two brothers want to go to Beijing to join their relatives, but I don't know why so many people have left Beijing. ”
The man breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded, "Don't go, it's easy to go in now, and you won't be able to leave if you want to go in the future." ”
"Big brother, I don't understand, is this something going on?"
"Kyoto is now enlisted in the army, and every household must be strictly checked. Hey, you two boys didn't throw yourself into the net? What is there to fight in this civil war, isn't this tossing to death for us little people!"
Draw Ding to enlist in the army?
Qi Xu's heart moved, "Where is this recruit going?
The man paused and said, "All armies and governments are expanding their military resources, and I can't tell you the details, hey, little brother, are you so interested, aren't you afraid of war?"
Qi Xu smiled, "I'm just curious, is the forbidden army also recruiting soldiers?"
The man shook his head and sighed, "That's natural, the sky says that it will change, all warlords seem to occupy the mountain as kings, today they are friends and tomorrow they are enemies, how can the common people see it." ”
Qi Xu and Ding Yan glanced at each other, and Ding Yan said, "Thank you, big brother." We're trying to join the Praeja Army. ”
The man saw that they were still insisting on walking in the direction of Kyoto, and said helplessly, "Alas, the young doll is spirit, what's the good thing about fighting, why can't the world be peaceful for a long time......"
For the next journey, Ding Yan and Qi Xu's moods were a lot heavier.
This sudden recruitment order, such a decision to confront the Qing political rebels, is it an indication of the attitude of staying for a long time?
What kind of changes have happened in this?
and to the gates.
Seeing that the guards at the city gate were very strict with the people who came in and out, some of the people who went out of the city were intercepted, and most of the people who were allowed to go were old, young, weak and disabled.
Ding Yan touched the fake beard on his lips and said, "It's not easy to get in and out, and I don't know if there is any arrangement for the long stay, why don't I try my luck first?"
"Well, be careful. ”
Yan smiled and said, "If the investigation is too strict, I will take the opportunity to make trouble with him, and the young general can take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the city and wait for me in the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”
Qi Xu nodded, and the two of them walked towards the city gate one after the other.
After changing his appearance, Ding Yan's figure is still so vigorous and burly, so he naturally can't avoid being interrogated, and he deliberately makes a big fuss that no one can control, so Qi Xu took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the city.
Soon after entering the city, he noticed that someone was following him, and the man was usually dressed in cloth, with a low brim and a suspicious appearance. Qi Xu turned into an alleyway mouth with the intention of ambushing the tailgator. Sure enough, seeing the latter hurriedly chasing after him, he was knocked down with a heavy punch, and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
The man groaned in pain, but his voice was very young, and he asked anxiously, "Are you from General Pingxi?" ”
Qi Xu ripped off his wide hat, saw a slightly haggard young face, and exclaimed, "Yun Shu, why are you!"
The man also widened his eyes and carefully identified him, and suddenly recognized him, pointed to his face and was about to speak, when Qi Xu covered his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Talk in a different place." ”
Drunken Immortal Residence
Although the teahouses and restaurants in the capital are still in business, most of them are half-open, half-rested, half-hidden, but the soldiers come and go frequently, and when they are happy, they give a few wine money, and when they are unhappy, they will hang up the accounts in vain.
Qi Xu looked at this scene and sighed with emotion, "But in just a few months, how did it become like this." ”
Yun Shu was also distressed, "I don't know why this is happening, these are mostly soldiers of the Dafu Military Supervisor, and there must be some strange military orders and regulations, alas, don't talk about these, Qi ...... How dare you come to Kyoto?"
Qi Xu said, "If the waiting master has a life, it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and he also wants to go to the appointment." He frowned and looked at Yun Shu, "Hou Ye is fine." ”
Sadness welled up in his heart, and Yun Shu shook his head, "It's good to be uneasy, it's not good at all." ”
Qi Xu's chest jumped, "What's going on?" ”
Yun Shu said, "Just two days ago, Hou Ye came back from Xiling and ordered the forbidden army to encircle and suppress the National Teacher's Mansion, the National Teacher's Mansion was cleared and burned down, but the strange thing is that the Hou Ye and the escort team who entered the National Teacher's Mansion to meet the National Teacher were all gone, and then the soldiers and horses of the Dafu Military Supervisor rushed to control the scene...... "He told Qi Xu what he knew, and stuffed the token of the cloth bag into Qi Xu's hand, and said in his ear, "This is a token that can mobilize the forbidden army, don't put it away!"
Qi Xu touched the inscription on the token through the cloth, and his heart fluctuated.
Yun Shu said, "I have been guarding the city gate for two days and waiting for the opportunity to get out and have not succeeded, but fortunately, General God, you can get in, and Yun Shu will live up to the trust of the Hou Ye." What's next for you?"
Qi Xu's eyes were slightly gloomy, staring at Yun Shu's eyes, "If I want to instigate a mutiny in Kyoto, Yun Shu is willing to help?"
Yun Shu's heart that he had just put down was lifted again, "What are you talking about......"
Suddenly, Ding Yan rushed to their seat like a frightened wind, grabbed Qi Xu's arm, "The officers and soldiers outside are wantonly hunting down the thieves, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, go." ”
Yun Shu's eyebrows moved, "Come with me." ”
What Yun Shu took them to was Yun Wei's villa on Donghua Street in Kyoto, and in order to avoid people's eyes, they entered through the back door.
The old servant in the backyard was obviously familiar with Yun Shu, so he leaned over and dragged Yun Shu's hand, "Why is San Lang still running around......" He looked at Ding Yan and Qi Xu carefully, "These two are ......"
Yun Shu smiled, "Uncle Lian, these two are my brothers in life and death, if you have anything to say, you don't have to shy away from it." ”
The old servant Lian Bo smiled again and again, and then said to Yun Shu, "San Lang, what trouble have you caused? The military supervisor of Dafu is arresting you everywhere, and he came to the mansion yesterday to ask questions. ”
Yun Shu patted his hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, Uncle Lian, San Lang didn't do anything wrong, let's hide here for a few days, you can arrange a safe place for us to live and get some food." ”
Lian Bo answered, and asked hesitantly, "Then do you want to tell the general Saburo that he is here?"
Yun Shu said, "No, no, I'll go see my uncle in a while." ”
Lian Bo also knew that it was unusual, so he cleaned up a room for them in the backyard and settled down for the time being.
