Chapter 5: Distinguishing between good and evil
Barbarian Imperial City, Tuotian City.
Bo Tai was in the barbarian imperial court in front of the barbarian emperor Jin Wu and the barbarian ministers, and the matter they discussed was the previous manifestation of the vision of the Great Qi.
"Daqi showed a vision, and it was suspected that a new saint had come. Back then, our barbarian clan originally had the opportunity to seize the Great Qi, but as soon as the Great Qi Confucius Saint came out, he completely destroyed my barbarian sage. Hurt my barbarians' vitality. For thousands of years, the Yuan Qi side recovered. Now, my barbarian clan has the great wisdom of Botai to strategize, and all the barbarian saints have opened up the territory and swept the Great Qi just around the corner. However, the Great Qi New Saint must be a big trouble for my barbarians!" Jin Wu said worriedly.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry so much, our clan's fine work has been properly arranged in the Daqi government and the opposition, and there will be news back soon, I suspect that this is a huge disparity in Daqi, so that my barbarians dare not use troops against Daqi. With my previous strategy, the Du family army of Luofu Mountain has suffered heavy losses, and the elite has been lost, and it is the time when our clan takes the opportunity to pull out the nail of Luofu Mountain. Once the nail of Luofu Mountain is removed, my barbarian clan will control the gate to enter the Great Qi. "As a great wise man of the barbarians, Botai is naturally very aware of the strategic position of Luofu Mountain in the barbarian invasion of Daqi.
"Wise man, my barbarian clan has finally recovered, so it's better to be cautious and cautious. In the last few wars, my barbarian race has suffered a lot of damage. And Daqi, it was only the Sichuan Mansion Chiyang Wei Du family army that was damaged. Once Daqi transferred elite troops from elsewhere, all our previous expenses were in vain. Barbarian Emperor Jin Wu said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, you don't know the temperament of the Great Qi people too well. The Great Qi people have been at peace for so long that they have forgotten the pain of war. They are good at intrigue and calculating each other, even if the foreign clan is eyeing each other, they still use their own interests, and they don't care about the collapse of the Great Qi Mansion at all. The commander of Chiyangwei, Du Changgeng, was a pure martial artist who did not know how to manage his connections, and had long been hated by the civil officials of Great Qi. The civil officials of the Great Qi State controlled the government and government, and nepotism and excluded dissidents was the consistent style of the civil officials of the Great Qi State. They have long held a grudge against Du Changgeng, who has always been tough and disobedient to discipline. If this were not the case, Du Changgeng would have fought hard in Luofu Mountain, why didn't he see the Great Qi Imperial Court dispatch any troops to help?"
Botai's intelligence network also extended its claws to Chiyangwei in Sichuan Province this time. The appearance of the barbarians is very different from that of the Great Qi, and it is naturally very difficult to blend in with the Great Qi. However, the barbarians invaded the Daqi frontier, burned, killed, and plundered, and took away a large number of women, children and children. These children grew up to be slaves of the barbarians. One of them was brainwashed by Botai's centaurs since childhood, recognized thieves as their fathers, and became diehard loyalists of the barbarians.
These spies who infiltrated the Great Qi Kingdom were naturally slaves who were brainwashed by Botai's intelligence organization. The civilians who were originally taken captive from the Great Qi State naturally looked no different from the Great Qi people. In addition, Botai's intelligence organization specializes in training these people in their behavior, words and deeds, and after arriving in the Great Qi Kingdom, they are even greater than the Great Qi people. The average person can't tell the difference.
The Great Qi astrological signs show a vision, indicating that a new saint is coming, but no one knows where the new saint is coming. After all, the astrological signs are so short that they have disappeared before they can be measured. Moreover, this kind of great luck is a heavenly opportunity, and ordinary warlocks dare not measure it. Because once calculated, it will definitely be eaten by heaven. If you are not careful, your life is gone.
After three men dressed as merchants arrived at Chiyangwei, they delivered the goods to the freight yard and separated in Chiyangwei.
Du Xuan has been standing on the pile of the Du family's martial arts training ground for more than 20 days, and the Du family's alchemy has reached the stage of training. In the next period of time, Du Changgeng was ready to let Du Xuan practice a Du family martial art. At the same time, Du Xuan began to prepare for rushing to the front line.
"Third brother, I'm going to let you take charge of the defense and military cantonment of a fort. You can pick a few veterans from my escort to help you. Du Changgeng said.
"Father, can I use this time to train a few people by myself?" Du Xuan asked.
"Third child, the veterans in my escort team are all elites who have followed me in bloody battles for several years, and with them, nothing in the military fort will be difficult for you. You can focus more on improving your martial arts. Du Changgeng was a little worried, Du Xuanyan was a little high-handed.
"If that's the case, then why don't you just send someone down? I'll just practice at home. Du Xuan said.
Du Changgeng unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at the third son, and seemed to understand Du Xuan's intentions: "Your second brother has just recruited a group of recruits, you go to the selection yourself, use this period of time to practice well, and it depends on you to what extent you can do it." Du Changgeng said.
Du Xuan immediately excitedly left Du's house and rushed to the military exercise ground located in the east of the Chiyang Acropolis.
Not long after he walked out of Du's mansion, he met his classmate Yan Jianbing.
"Brother Du, I heard that you are also going to the front line?" This is not a military secret, there are few people in Chiyangwei who don't know, and it is normal for Yan Jianbing to know.
"Yes, the front line is critical, and I, a child of the Du family, must rush to the front line. Du Xuan nodded.
"Who doesn't know that you can read your brother and can't be martial. You haven't cultivated to a bachelor's degree, just go to the battlefield, what's the use?" Yan Jianbing sighed.
"When the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible. As a child of the Du family, how can I hide in the rear and enjoy myself?" Du Xuan was in a hurry to go to the martial arts arena to recruit troops, and wanted to leave after a few perfunctory words.
Yan Jianbing saw that he couldn't persuade Du Xuan to return, so he shook his head helplessly, and left separately from Du Xuan.
Du Xuan and Yan Jianbing didn't notice that there was a merchant sitting in the wine shop on the side, this man seemed to be enjoying wine alone in the wine shop, but his ears trembled slightly from time to time, and he actually fell into his ears all the conversations between Du Xuan and Yan Jianbing.
When Du Xuan was about to leave, he casually glanced at the wine shop, which made the man who was enjoying the wine alone tremble slightly.
Originally, Du Xuan was about to leave in a hurry, but after looking at this one, he hurriedly paused. At that glance just now, looking over, Du Xuan saw a scene that he had never seen before. He actually saw a strange aura floating on the head of the man in the wine shop, the color was gray-white with dark red in the middle. Du Xuan looked at the man's face again, and felt that this person was by no means a good person. Du Xuan is not like ordinary people, he has practiced Buddhist visualization, and he has cultivated the saint's visualization technique, and he can know good and evil by looking at people's faces. Du Xuan looked at this person's qi, and then looked at this person's appearance, this good and evil are still clear.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Du Xuan looked at the other people in the wine shop again, and found that ordinary civilians had pure white and yellow qi, while the rich had a fat atmosphere, and people with a certain status had a strange qi, all of which were different from this person.
Du Xuan simply didn't go to the martial arts arena for the time being, but turned around and walked towards the wine shop. A few people in the wine shop recognized Du Xuan.
"The third son. ”
"The third son. ”
......
The shopkeeper of the wine shop hurriedly greeted him: "Third son, sit here." ”
"No, I don't. I have a friend who drinks at your store, and I went to say hello to him. Go about your business. Du Xuan waved his hand.
The shopkeeper hurriedly leaned and stepped aside: "Then I won't disturb the third son." ”
The man who was targeted by Du Xuan was slightly flustered at first, but soon calmed down, he didn't believe that Du Xuan had seen through his identity. The information of the third son of the Du family had been known to them before they came. How can a weak scholar see through his identity?
"This big brother. May I ask your surname, where are you from, and what are you doing when you come to Chiyang Wei?" Du Xuan walked to the man's side and sat down on the bench.
"Back to the third son, I am from Dongzhen, my name is Li Huiping. Pull some of the unique Quartet Maran grass from Dongzhen over and make a little profit. Li Huiping's accent is really an authentic Dongzhen accent, and the content of what he says is not bad at all. This kind of herb is difficult to find elsewhere, but it is very common in Dongzhen. Therefore, many people in Dongzhen collected the four directions of Malan and sold them to other places.
"I've been to Dongzhen, and there is a wine shop in Dongzhen that is very famous for its iron plate copper goose, and I have eaten it once, and I remember the taste, which is really nostalgic. Du Xuan said with a deep aftertaste.
Li Huiping glanced at Du Xuan, and secretly said in his heart that this Du family is really a tiger father and no dog. Although the third child of the Du family does not practice the martial arts of the Du family, the city government is not shallow. If he hadn't been lurking in Dongzhen for a long time, he might have been deceived by Du Xuan. There is no wine shop in Dongzhen that has the dish of iron plate copper goose, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "This is strange, I have basically been to all the wine shops in Dongzhen, large and small, but I have never heard of the dish of iron plate copper goose." If it's really as delicious as the third prince said, I have no reason not to know it. ”
"Ah, yes? Could it be that I remembered wrong? Shouldn't it? Alas, it's a pity, Brother Yan just left, I remember tasting that iron plate copper goose that time, he was also there, if he was here, he should remember where he tasted it. Brother Li, I didn't lie to you, if you taste that iron plate copper goose, you will definitely have an endless aftertaste. Du Xuan said.
"Yes, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely taste it. Li Huiping said.
"Brother Li, you should have been to many places when you came out to do business. Have you ever dealt with a kind of person?" Du Xuan asked.
Li Huiping's brows trembled slightly: "What kind of person?"
"I heard that when the barbarians invaded my Daqi, they often burned, killed, and plundered, and took some women, children, and children of Daqi to the bitter and barbaric land. It is said that there are a large number of barbarian tribes in various places. Brother Li, as a businessman, you should have dealt with this kind of person, right?" Du Xuan asked.
"I have traveled around and come into contact with a lot of people, some of whom may be fine, but I am just an ordinary businessman, and the barbarian is extremely cunning, how can I tell the difference?" Li Huiping said.
"Brother Li, I'll teach you a trick, so you can see it at a glance in the future. Du Xuan leaned over and whispered.
Li Huiping did not suspect that there was a fake, and came to listen. was grabbed by Du Xuan.
"People like Brother Li who like to act alone and ask around for news must be meticulous. Du Xuan mentioned Li Huiping and left.
Li Huiping didn't expect Du Xuan to be able to martial arts, but he was suddenly restrained by Du Xuan, and he didn't even have a chance to resist.
