Chapter 2: The Great General in the City of Fu'an

Fu'an City is the largest city in the row of the twenty-six cities of Great Qin, and the towering city walls are cold and cold, and the guards in heavy armor are walking back and forth.

It has been 300 years since the founding of the Great Qin, the former king of the previous dynasty is a rare Ming monarch, ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, and in the forty years of the reign of the Great Qin, the wind and rain were smooth, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Ying Lie really lived up to the expectations of the previous king, pushing Daqin to a new height, and Ying Lie's ambition was beyond the imagination of the previous king. In the year 336 of the Qin calendar, the Ying Lie soldiers raided the bordering Qi State, and even took the army of the three cities to stop at Sanshui, the capital of the Qi State, so that the chaos of the Six Kingdoms was about to break out.

Today, Fu'an City is more heavily guarded than usual, and there are more than twice as many defenders on the city walls and at the gates.

I don't know when, a little beggar with unkempt hair and ragged clothes came from outside the city.

Chu Li looked at the city wall dozens of meters high in front of him, and the three big characters of Fu'an City in the center revealed endless grandeur and majesty. This was the first time Chu Li had left Mingxi Town, and he only felt that the city in front of him was like a sleeping beast, and the awe in his heart made his hungry body even more powerful.

"You, open your package and take a look. "You, stop the car, open the curtains. The shouting at the gate of the city continued, and the gate was a little crowded at this time, allowing four horses to gallop together.

Chu Li mixed in the crowd, looking at the guards walking back and forth, looking at the silver-white armor on their bodies with the seal of the Great Qin official, the fine lines spread from the shoulder armor to the knee pads, it is said that these lines are used for bleeding, when the blood is splashed on the armor, it will flow along the lines to the feet, and the more times the armor is washed by blood, the more shiny it is. I heard that when the general of the Western Dynasty likes to slaughter the city the most, whenever he goes out in armor, the silver light can illuminate half of the sky!

Chu Li was very nervous, because he had heard that some cities were not allowed to beggars to enter, such as what was the difference between his dirty outfit and a beggar.

Maybe Fu'an City is a big city, but it is far away from Xuanjing, the capital of Great Qin, and it is not strictly controlled, and the soldiers guarding the city just glanced at Chu Li, and put him in, after all, a little beggar, let alone wrapping, is simply unclothed, if anyone says that he has a weapon, then most of them will be treated as a madman.

But the little beggar did have a weapon on his body, to be precise, a short blade, a small dagger of more than three inches, which was hidden by Chu Li in his chest.

This is Chu An's knife, Chu Li knows that his father always likes to hide it in his sleeve, keep it close to his body, and keep rubbing it. When Chu Li woke up, the dagger was lying next to his hand, a place that could be touched as soon as he stretched out his hand.

I don't know why, when Chu Li saw it for the first time since he was eight years old, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if it was something that belonged to him. However, the father and son of the Chu family seem to have a deep feud in the sea of blood, and even normal communication is more difficult, let alone Chu Li's request for such a "non-separation".

The dagger is not very long, and there are no cumbersome patterns, it is just an ordinary dagger, bent like a goat's horn. If the only extraordinary thing is probably his non-gold and non-jade material, it is extremely light to start, but extremely tough, the blade is a little blunt, and there are some dried blood stains remaining.

Chu Li put the dagger close to his body, firstly, because of that inexplicable sense of familiarity, secondly, he could also have a kind of peace of mind for self-preservation, and perhaps there was also some satisfaction that he had been longing for something he had been longing for.

People are like this, when the things they have been longing for are finally obtained, the satisfaction even exceeds the things themselves, and the same is true of King Qin.

At this moment, King Qin was gently stretching his eyebrows, which had been frowning for a whole day, and closed the box in front of him, the dark secret room was empty, but he seemed to be speaking to the air, "Anyway, I want this king to give you some reward." ”

Chu Li felt a little dizzy, and the people he had seen in his life were not as many as he had seen here at the city gate. I entered the city in a daze, and I was immediately shocked by what was in front of me for a long time and didn't wake up. More than ten meters high buildings abound, eaves and arches, carved beams and painted columns, all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, crowded crowds.

Chu Li didn't know what Xuanjing was like, but at this moment, he was really shocked.

Chu Li didn't dare to walk on the most central official road, he felt that he was out of place with this city, whether it was clothing or identity.

In fact, Chu Xianzhong thought so, and when he found A-Niang, he would definitely let her bring her to this city to have a good show. Thinking like this, he was not only not depressed in his heart, but a little cheerful, feeling that he had finally seen the market once, and when he went back, he had to show off to his group of friends, especially the daughter of the Wang Butcher's family, who made her always look down on herself.

When he thought of the daughter of the Wang Butcher's family, the young man couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in his heart, that was the most beautiful girl in their town, although it was not as good as his mother, but it was also a lovely child sought after by many teenagers.

Suddenly, he screamed, "You are really rude, and you don't know how to say sorry to others when you are abrupt?" Chu Li realized that the soft fragrance was in his arms, and he was startled and hurriedly took three or five steps back, only to realize that he was bumping into someone else when he was distracted, and hurriedly apologized first, and then dared to secretly raise his eyes to look at the person in front of him.

Liu Ruier is the daughter of the big owner of Tianyanlou in Dongcheng District. Fu'an City is bounded by the central governor's mansion, four urban districts in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and Tianyanlou is the largest among dozens of wine shops in Dongcheng District, and it is also the largest one in Fu'an City. The big proprietor of Tianyanlou is also known as the Baida proprietor, and it is rumored that he earns hundreds of taels of silver every day.

As the baby daughter of one hundred or two major proprietors, it is conceivable how many people Liu Ruier has coveted since she was a child, after all, which lucky person gets the heart of the eldest lady, it is equivalent to getting half a day banquet building, not to mention that Liu Ruier is not very old and has a delicate beauty embryo. If you talk about the most eye-catching young people in Fu'an City, Liu Ruier is afraid that she can be ranked among the five fingers.

Chu Li didn't know where Liu Rui'er was sacred, but he said that he had met a fairy in the sky. He grew up in Mingxi Town and had the most beautiful women he had ever seen, one was his mother and the other was the daughter of the king butcher. But in the small town, not to mention the gorgeous clothes, even the rouge gouache has been seen by a few people.

After being stunned for a long time, the girl seemed to see the embarrassment of the young man, and covered her mouth and chuckled, "Are you afraid that this little beggar is not stunned?" The silver bell-like laughter finally brought Chu Li back to his senses, and he apologized embarrassedly, "The kid just got distracted and bumped into the girl, really, really... Seeing that his face was flushed, Liu Rui'er smiled even more happily, "I know that you don't mean to, but you will also be punished by me, so I will punish you..." ”

Liu Ruier doesn't know why, if someone else collides with her dirty, she will probably lose her temper and let the other party apologize to herself. But although the little beggar in front of her couldn't see clearly, it gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

It just so happened that she sneaked out to satisfy her little curiosity this time, and she was already a little apprehensive, but now there happened to be someone who could take responsibility together, so she naturally had to piggyback on it.

General? Chu Li was a little stunned, but he saw the girl in front of him and said to herself, "Don't tell others, listen to my father, the general of Zhenbei has come to our Fu'an City." Although I don't know what the reason is, but the general of Zhenbei!" Liu Ruier was very excited, which girl did not have a spring, and when she thought that it was a big man who was pressed by an army of 100,000 in a wave of his hand, she felt a yearning for no reason.

"Uh, okay, I'll go with you. Chu Li didn't expect it to be such a simple punishment, so he nodded and accepted it. "Let's go. Liu Ruier was very satisfied with his answer, and the two of them walked forward one after the other. In order to avoid the crowd, Chu Li deliberately found a small road to enter the city, while Liu Ruier was to avoid being discovered by those who admired her, and the two coincided.

The two walked along the path, silent at first, and then I don't know who said the first sentence, and the two began to talk about each other. "Little beggar, you said that your parents were gone when you woke up, so why didn't they take you with them. ”

Chu Li was very helpless, even though he had already told the other party his real name, she still called him a little beggar, "Maybe they didn't find me." As soon as Mingxi Town was mentioned, Chu Li felt very confused.

"Then do you say that it is possible for them to go back to look for you, what if they can't find you when you leave?" The girl didn't give up, Chu Li was stunned when she heard this, yes, what if they couldn't find themselves when they went back? Suddenly he was also a little relieved, they can go back to find themselves, it means that they are fine, then the current separation is only temporary, not to mention that he is also about to go to Zhuhai Guoxue, and sooner or later he will face separation.

After chatting for a while, the road ahead suddenly became wider, at the end of the road is a mansion, with a forest of armor, two stone lions in the middle of the endless majesty, and a huge plaque is hung in the middle of the gate of the mansion, with three big characters on the Governor's Mansion, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances.

"It's time to arrive. Liu Rui'er pulled Chu Li into the shadows of the house, and said in a low voice, Chu Li looked at her standing on her toes and stretching her white neck long, and couldn't help but want to laugh, people didn't come out of the house, you can't see it even if you jump.

At this time, in the governor's mansion, the general of Zhenbei in Liu Ruier's mouth was sitting in danger. The general is a very dignified middle-aged man, with three strands of long hair hanging down on his chest, dressed in plain clothes, ordinary like a teacher in a private school. "The king attaches great importance to this matter and has ordered me to come and investigate. ”

The general's voice was very flat, and the governor of Fu'an City was beside his right hand, and he was slightly nervous at the moment, although he was the lord of a big city, the existence of the emperor of the earth, but the great Qin was heavy, and the one who came was one of the four generals in front of the frame. To put it mildly, if today's general is a little wrong, and the army will behead the dignified governor in the governor's mansion, the current king of Qin will not be guilty of the slightest crime.

After hearing about this, he immediately sent his men to check on and enlighten the king. The Governor bowed his hand slightly, and recounted the matter, "According to the report of the spies, all the houses and trees within a radius of several miles have been destroyed, and no corpses or traces of a fight have been found, but... ”

"Just what? But it doesn't hurt to say it. The general was a little displeased, "It's just a little strange, there is no living thing in that radius, and there is not even a single worm in the ground when he ordered people to dig three feet into the ground." Therefore, it is guessed that it was not the work of the enemy country. ”

The general frowned slightly when he heard this, "I want to check this matter in person, you must be cautious recently, this is a critical period, and there is no room for mistakes." "Critical period?" said the Governor, "does the king want to... The general closed his eyes and was silent, and the governor quickly shut up, but his face was a little excited.

Great Qin, everyone is warlike.
