Chapter 14: Joy and Resentment
After the night of Mukden City, there will be a curfew, prohibiting people other than the nobles from traveling, and the nobles will also be prohibited from traveling when the city gate is locked.
In the past few days, the upright general Jing Chen has won a big victory, and the streets are being lit up to celebrate the end of this protracted war, and the pedestrians who play will inevitably return later, and the Nine Gate Guards will be dispatched to scold the pedestrians to leave quickly, and the Nine Gate Guards are directly under the Nine Gate Admiral Han Shikai, the person who was nominated to replace the general Jing Chen, the people in the market will inevitably think that he is dissatisfied, so he will drive away the activities to welcome the general, and the words of the guards are quite ugly.
Han Shikai does have the ability to be a general, although the trained soldiers are not angry in their hearts, but they are all very restrained and do not take action against the people, and calmly implement the curfew order to clear the pedestrians home.
The streets, which had been noisy for a day, subsided after the torrent of steel surged back and forth a few times by the soldiers.
The gazebo of the long street at the east gate, maybe the old man who had eaten too much wine was half lying on the bench, his legs were cocked, and the cloth shoes were hanging on his big toes, and he was shaking together with the fingers placed on the belly leisurely knocking up, and the old man had a smile with his eyes closed, and it seemed that he had a very good time today.
If such an old man were an ordinary family, he would have been thrown into prison by the angry guards for the crime of disturbing order.
Lao Er posted a door sign on the door of his head, which read, 'The General's Mansion Grade A Family,' the prime minister's door in front of the three-rank official, not to mention the upright and prosperous General's Mansion, after the Youshi, the streets were cleaned, but there were no guards to catch him.
Not far away, a few guards were looking at it and sneering, they were Han Shikai's foot soldiers, they were naturally unconvinced by Jing Chen, the general, and they were naturally very unhappy with his family, at this moment it was the curfew of the imperial court only forbade civilians and the scholars, they were waiting, and when they waited until the time, they wanted this old man to look good.
Tonight the sky was cloudy and the moonlight was a little dim.
A hundred meters away from Fengtian City, Jing Ming walked slowly, his face was similar to the moonlight in the sky, a little bright and a little dark.
At the moment when he rushed out of the jungle, this unworldly teenager finally came back to his senses.
It seems to have strayed into a trap, but in fact this trap was specially prepared for him, at first when the boy noticed that the trap stopped, Orion's seemingly kind reminder was actually for him to touch the mechanism in his hand as a cover-up, and the screams were also to distract the boy, if it weren't for the martial arts advanced lighting 'candle flower' to grab the iron arrow, he would have been dead now.
When Orion approached, the boy had sensed a sense of oppression, and after receiving the iron arrow with his bare hands, the sense of oppression disappeared, and he originally thought it was restless, but at this moment he understood that it was Orion's killing machine, and he gave up the idea of killing it himself when he saw that the young man could not eat 100% of the arrows with his bare hands, and pointed to a clear path into the beast's nest step by step.
There is another point that makes the teenager even more confused.
There is a special post station on the straight road of Fengtian City, the soldiers stationed in the post station patrol and strangle the monster beast duty, the monster generally does not dare to act in the daytime, at night it is bolder, often haunts, but also often one blow to leave, when being hunted, the monster beast is only one or two meters away from the boy, although the boy has been on the straight road, but does not prevent the monster beast from attacking one or two times, at this moment the wind suddenly blows in front of the mountain forest, the wind blows the two monsters that pass first all burst, and the rest quickly flee into the wilderness.
The wind in the mountains and wilderness grinds people, and the young man will not be naΓ―ve enough to think that the demon beast was blown to death by the mountain wind, and someone must be saving him in secret.
The young man immediately thought that it might be the handiwork of the old man Zhang, this old man's mysterious hand is not difficult for him, but it is not his style not to come out afterwards and pretend to be forced.
The boy thought about it and didn't know who that person was.
"Stop," the two guards under the city gate held their spears against each other, blocking the way of the young man, and said with an unkind expression: "Fengtian City has a curfew, and idle people are not allowed to enter the city. β
Just thinking that it turned out to be under Fengtian City, the young man went crazy in the mountains for a day, and fought with strange beasts, and his clothes were torn in many places.
The young man hurriedly put away his thoughts, took out the identity token from his arms, and handed it to the guard.
The soldier captain on the side heard the movement and walked over, snatched the identity token that the soldier was ready to return to Jing Ming after confirming it, and after a few casual glances, he looked Jing Ming up and down suspiciously, and said, "What is the matter of coming back from outside the city so late?"
Jing Ming was about to talk, but the captain really didn't mean to speak to him, so he glanced at him and said, "Isn't it a collaborator?"
The soldiers under the city were alert when they heard the sound of 'collaborating with the enemy', and their waist knives were drawn half an inch together, and they looked at the young man with fierce eyes.
The captain used to be Han Shikai's personal soldier, Jing Chen was not victorious, this victory was celebrated by the whole city, these personal soldiers thought in their hearts that this should have been the glory of General Han, no, when they saw Jing Ming entering the city alone, they deliberately wanted to give him some hardship, and told him that the Zhongyan Dynasty not only had General Jing but also General Han.
The big hat of collaborating with the enemy is not small, and you have to stay in a cell for a few days.
After being cheated by Orion, the young man's heart was more transparent, and he was less innocent in the past, and he could see the mind of this captain at a glance.
The splitter snatched the identity token from the captain's hand, although the captain's long-practiced hand holding the token didn't use much strength, but he was a little surprised that the boy snatched it back so easily, and the captain was shocked and humiliated, and shouted: "Take down the thief who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country." β
Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers grabbed the bright long knives and surrounded the boy.
The young man was calm, held the identity token symbolizing the son of the general high above the top, strode forward and ignored the sword in front of him, and said: "Those who collaborate with the enemy must have thieves, and traitors need proof of guilt, Lord Captain, do you think that I am a traitor to the enemy based on the token of the general's mansion in my hand," After speaking, he looked around and sneered: "I see who dares to stop me?"
The soldiers looked at each other, and were really frightened by the bold young man.
His eyes looked at the lieutenant many times, and when he saw that his face was red, he knew that it was useless when he came to Tie Qing, and instinctively stepped aside after the young man walked in front of him.
Jing Ming entered the city and saw the old man Zhang lying on the bench with spring dreams.
The corners of this old man's mouth are smiling, his cheeks are peach-colored, and the huge amount of silver is not a penny left, and all he is thinking about at the moment is 'the soft little hands,' the voice is glutinous,' and the blowing is cool." β
The young man tiptoed to the long pavilion, and suddenly jumped and said loudly: "Lao Zhang, what about the hair/spring dream." β
Lao Er was drooling, and he fell to the ground in a discouraged manner, and he pinched the stone boy letter with his bare hands like a bear, saying that he couldn't think of it when he got a sleeve of the demon beast.
"You stinky boy scared me to death," Lao Zhang got up from the ground, the corners of his mouth were covered with saliva from the ground, and after falling to the ground, he was stuck with mud, and his gray face looked funny and cute.
After the young man's martial intent 'Candle Flower', he intended to show himself in front of this mysterious master, and while he was trying to urge his martial intent, the old god was standing, and he almost wrote on his face: "Look, my martial intent has taken another step, isn't it very powerful, praise me, praise me." β
Who knew that this little old man didn't take this stubble, but said disdainfully: "What kind of thing, after three days of mixing and wasting so much time on Lao Tzu, it took only a few martial arts to light a candle, do you want to anger Lao Tzu to death, and dare to take it out at this level, are you ashamed, are you ashamed, are .....you ashamed?"
The boy regretted it from the moment he posed.
I know this old man too well, this guy can't spit ivory out of his mouth, and I can tell it from his mouth?..... There are no doors.
Too young.
This is the teenager's summary for today, is the gullible Orion young?
The young man was afraid that the old man's saliva would not stop, and he would turn his head and leave, it didn't matter if he left, it was indeed the old man's voice that was talking about it stopped abruptly, this is really not his old man's style of not squirting people to death, the young man turned his head to look at him suspiciously, only to see him grinning with a playful expression.
How could Jing Ming not know what this little old man was comparing to, Miss Su at home was a typical vinegar essence, and the fish raised in the yard must be male, if she knew that this old man had gone to spend time drinking, the consequences would definitely be much more serious than the sky falling, and said: "I know, I know, I know what to say, don't worry, I will say that you are tired on the mountain, how busy you are running up and down, and you are tired and paralyzed on the ground." β
At this time, the old man nodded with satisfaction, showed a relieved expression, and said something that I don't know if it was sincere or rewarding the young man: "The martial arts candle flowers are clear and clear, but it is a little interesting." β
At first glance, the boy was stunned, is this a boast?
How does it sound like it, most of the evaluations given to martial arts are strong and hot, how can Qingming be true, this is like saying that a bad-looking girl is kind, it's too hypocritical.
The martial intent in the young man's body is indeed not as warm as the martial intent in the body of an ordinary martial artist, the fire is like a light moon, and there is a feeling of disappearing when it disperses into the limbs and hundreds of remains, if it is not for the normal operation of the strength, Jing Ming almost thought that something would happen to the practice, although the old man's words are not praised, but how much reassuring the young man This martial intent is a normal state.
Don't look at the old man Zhang walking in front of Jing Ming on the street, those who don't know think he is the master, as soon as he returned to the small courtyard, his body was a little shorter, and he took the initiative to shrink behind Jing Ming.
"I'm back," Jing Mingyou snorted.
Miss Su walked out of the courtyard: "Are you back?"
At this time, Lao Zhang immediately came over with a smile, and bragged to Miss Su about how hard he worked and how he helped Jing Ming's martial arts.
As soon as the young man entered the room, Miss Su could see that his steps were strong and powerful, and he must have entered the room with martial intentions, and Miss Su, who was not smiling much, smiled more.
Just when the young man was about to go into the house to change clothes, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Miss Su's nose and sniffed, and sighed in his heart, knowing that something bad was going to happen, Old Man Zhang's story was made up seamlessly, but he forgot a little, the smell of his body, this day he went to the Qinglou, the tavern, the casino, and the smell of fat powder, flower wine, and the smell of stinky men that Miss Su hated the most.
Jing Ming's feet were like a spring, he jumped into the house and left the place of right and wrong first, and after entering the house, he closed the door with lightning speed, and then opened the door a crack, pouting his ass to watch a once-in-a-lifetime battle of the century.
Old man Zhang's smile collapsed little by little.
Miss Su smiled brightly, smiled very happily, nodded to Old Man Zhang, turned around and entered the house to close the door.
