Chapter 1: Jin Yiwei
In the evening, before it gets dark, the sun sets in the distance.
The boxy Qingzhu County is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the weather is slightly gloomy at this time, and a faint mist emerges, showing a faint hazy color, making this small city have a sense of tranquility and leisurely out of thin air.
On the streets, vendors have begun to close their stalls.
Although it is not dark yet, Qingzhu County is a small city, although it is adjacent to Tianfu, it is still very underdeveloped, so the stalls are closed very early.
Gu Fengqing followed the flow of people and walked on the way home.
This is Nuanyang Lane, the easternmost street and alley in Qingzhu County, which means that Qingzhu County is the first street and alley to welcome the warm sun.
But it's a slum.
Beneath your feet is a potholed bluestone pavement, with low wooden houses on the side of the road, sewage flowing in the corners, and residents in rags and linen clothes squatting at the door, staring blankly at the alley.
The gaze is numb and glazed.
Although it is named Nuanyang, it is not warm in the alley.
Gu Fengqing didn't say hello to anyone, just walked forward with a dull head.
There were bruises at the corners of his eyes, and there was a faint amount of blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, which had just been beaten by a gang of ruffians.
Walking to the end of the alley in silence, Gu Fengqing stopped in front of a low hut.
This is his home.
Two cottages, dilapidated and leaking.
Standing in front of the house, Gu Fengqing stopped for a long time, then turned around and glanced back at Nuanyang Lane.
The sun had set, and the alleys were full of poor people, and no one lit kerosene lamps, so there were no lights.
Looking further away, the wealthy families in the city are brightly lit with mansions and villas.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Gu Fengqing couldn't help but shiver.
"Poof!"
Spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, he pursed his lips and finally turned around.
Push the door and enter the house.
......
in the room, on the hanger.
The black clothes are embroidered with dark silver four-clawed flying fish patterns, dragon heads, fish tails, wings, and python-like shapes, giving people a mysterious and cold feeling.
On the knife holder, there is a long knife.
The long knife was dusty and apparently not used very often.
The blade is one foot six inches and one minute, and the handle is one foot and nine inches long.
The back of the knife is wide, the blade is thick, and there are two blood grooves on both sides, long and short, with a faint dark red inside, which seems to indicate the countless blood that has been drunk in it.
Hope makes people's hearts palpitate.
Flying Fish Suit!
Embroidered spring knife!
The standard configuration of the Great Xia Dynasty brocade guard!
Looking at the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife in front of him, Gu Fengqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I thought I could live a stable life when I came to this world!"
"I'm not right!"
"This is an era of cannibalism, and it is even more cruel!"
"I thought I could rely on my modern knowledge to call for wind and rain in ancient times, but I never ......"
His eyes were focused on these two things: "I never thought that I would still have to walk this road after all!"
Gu Fengqing is a modern person, although there is no mine at home, but he is also a rich second generation, he eats and drinks every day, drives a luxury car and lives in a villa, and eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, but when he woke up, he came to this place!
Depressed, backward feudal society!
And he became a hereditary brocade guard of the Great Xia Dynasty!
The Great Xia Dynasty is not any dynasty on the earth, but its economic and cultural level is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty on the earth.
The DPRK and China set up the Jinyi Guard, which was in charge of the criminal prisons, patrol and arrest, and set up a pacification department to engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. He also participated in the work of collecting military intelligence and plotting against enemy generals.
It can be said that the responsibilities are great and the authority is very heavy.
Where the Jinyi guards inspected and arrested the cavalry, whether it was the officials of the imperial court or the ordinary people, they were all frightened, and at the peak, they could stop the children crying at night.
It stands to reason that traveling through ancient times and becoming a brocade guard is majestic, which is also beautiful!
But, that's all in the past!
In this world of Gu Fengqing's déjà vu, the Great Xia Dynasty has been in power for three hundred years, and it has gone from its heyday to decline, the government is dark, the traitors and eunuchs are in charge, and the people are living in dire straits.
Nowadays, the most powerful people in the court are eunuchs!
In my memory, when the power of Jinyiwei was at its peak, the imperial court also set up the East and West Second Factory in order to check and balance, and the eunuch masters were like clouds, dividing the authority of Jinyiwei.
In addition, the officials of the court were also hostile to Jinyiwei, further compressing the living space of Jinyiwei.
Now, the once beautiful Jinyiwei is no different from his grandson!
From the thousands of households to the ordinary captains and wrestlers, they all rely on the snort of the eunuchs of the second factory, and even the current envoys and thousands of households have several self-proclaimed eunuchs as their fathers!
In addition, the rivers and lakes of this world are also extremely chaotic.
The major martial arts masters are rampant in the world, robbing the rich and helping the poor are like carp crossing the river, Shaolin, Wudang and other major sects have many disciples, as if they are separating the world, and there are countless other large and small sects......
Countless forces in the rivers and lakes are fighting endlessly, and from time to time, there are masters from small countries such as Dongying and Karasuma who come to the Central Plains martial arts to challenge.
Among the people, natural and man-made disasters are continuous, and the people are even more miserable.
And when it is often necessary for the court to come forward to clean up the mess, this kind of work that has no oil and water and is easy to die if you are not careful, will always be Jinyiwei!
Under such circumstances, this flying fish suit and this embroidered spring knife do not mean glory and wealth at all for Gu Fengqing, on the contrary...... Once you put on the flying fish suit and wear the embroidered spring knife, it means embarking on a road of death!
Either kill or be killed!
If there was another choice, Gu Fengqing would never have picked up this knife!
However, he just didn't have a choice!
He tried to use his modern knowledge to obtain wealth, but when he relied on his memory, racked his brains to make liquor, and ambitiously found the largest local restaurant in Qingzhu County to cooperate, but was beaten by the restaurant shopkeeper and took away the recipe.
If you don't give it, you can't do it
In this era, the country is turbulent, the rivers and lakes are strife, and it is too common for someone to die.
Moreover, it was a man who had no background and lived in the slums.
"It's ridiculous that a person like a dog like you, whose fate is like a mustard, is still delusional to ascend to the sky in one step!"
"Uncle is in a good mood today, send kindness to buy a copper plate for you to buy a coffin!"
Gu Fengqing still remembers the ugly face of the restaurant shopkeeper when he was beaten and lying on the ground, and ...... A copper coin that had been casually discarded and rolled in front of him.
He can see that in this world, he doesn't plan to give him a way to live!
......
"Jianghu...... Imperial ......"
The bruises at the corners of her eyes still hurt faintly, but Gu Fengqing didn't care.
Sitting in a shabby chair, feeling the touch in your chest, you reach out and remove a piece of token.
The token is delicate and small, with a pattern embedded on the back, and a smooth front with only the word 'like a dream'.
His fingers rubbed the token, and he stared at the clothes and the knife in a daze.
After thinking for a long time, a touch of firmness gradually appeared in his eyes: "In this troubled world, if you want to control your own destiny, there is only one way!"
"Hold the knife in your hand and be the one who wields the knife!"
"In that case...... Why am I afraid to put on a suit and a knife?!"
That's it.
The next moment, he put the token on his chest, stood up, and walked to the hanger with a firm step.
Slowly, meticulously put on the flying fish suit, tied the belt, put on the black crown hat, and then grabbed the embroidered spring knife on the knife holder and slowly lifted it.
"Boom!"
Thunder suddenly sounded outside the window, and a bolt of lightning flashed by.
"Boom!" With a sound, Gu Fengqing drew his knife out of the sheath, and in the dim room, a sharp light suddenly lit up.
At the same time, there was also a pair of eyes of the knife wielder......
Gloomy, cold!
