Katsuragi is just a small city.
It is already close to Jintang and Nanchen, and it is the border of Qi and Qin Dynasty. The business is not as prosperous as the southern county, and the city, which is not big, usually shows a lazy look. During this period, it should be the most important day in Katsuragi's history. Teams of elite soldiers and iron horses are stationed outside the city, and mysterious figures come and go in a hurry.
An inexplicable chill filled the city.
Fengping Restaurant is just a small restaurant, the downstairs sells the restaurant and the residents upstairs, it is located in a relatively remote place in Chengxi City, so although the name of the restaurant is decent, there are not many people who visit it politely. But the shopkeeper is a lazy person, and if he doesn't lose money, he doesn't have any other requirements. He usually moves a recliner and leans against the building to bask in the sun. Even the guys under him are half-lazy and not working hard.
Lu Er is a clerk in this small shop. He eats with his mouth and only thinks about his wife and children.
When he first came to Gecheng, Lu Er was not quite used to such an atmosphere, but after a long time, he also became sluggish in the laziness of this restaurant.
In fact, when you think about it, a person’s life is nothing more than that, and fighting for the top and the bottom is just a bone in the end.
But these days, Lu Er felt a little uneasy in his heart. On that day, the emperor of Qi and Qin was a person who had amazing achievements. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Kyushu Bank, which was as high as a fairy, ended in the hands of the young emperor. For most people, it is not a sad thing that the Jiuzhou Bank is no longer, or... In fact, everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time.
The Kyushu bank was wiped out, and the farmers who used to have only a few acres of Susukida were allocated fertile fields at this time.
On the day of dividing the fields outside Gecheng, Lu Er also went to watch the fun.
The Uncle Lin he knew knelt in the allotted field, kissing the ashes piously, tears pouring down his face. Everyone forgot their natural fear of the armored soldiers, and happily ran in the field they got. Countless people kowtowed in the direction of the capital, chanting the virtues of the Son of Heaven. Lu Er is a wanderer here, and the matter of sharing the land with foreigners has nothing to do with him, but when he saw that scene, he also became happy.
——Actually, the vast majority of people in this world have no ambitions, and what they want is only a little bit. Some fields can grow enough food for the whole family, and it is enough to survive. Ambition hegemony is something that very few people would want.
Today's Emperor Qi Qin gave everyone a chance to live in peace, and everyone spontaneously liked him.
It's just that in this joy, Lu Er inexplicably only thought of those silent soldiers, those unknown people who came and went in the night.
As a result, anxiety arose. Lu Er liked the scene of the Gecheng people he knew kneeling in the field and weeping with joy. He wanted this scene to last for a long time.
"A room."
Lu Er raised his head, and a young man stood in front of him, throwing down the money.
It was a thin-looking young man with fine features and a low voice when he spoke. The clothes on the young man who planned to stay in the shop looked like Nan Chen's. He was accompanied by an old servant. The old servant was hunched over and his face was full of wrinkles. Lu Er took the money and led the young man surnamed Bai to go upstairs. When he was walking up, the young man asked him about the way to the capital and about the last poetry meeting.
Lu Er suddenly understood.
This young gentleman should be a scholar from the Southern Chen Dynasty. He came down south to participate in the poetry meeting hosted by Emperor Qi Qin. The Qi Qin poetry meeting is famous all over the world.
While introducing, Lu Er led the two of them to the room on the third floor.
Young Master Bai listened with his head tilted, nodded slightly from time to time, and asked a few more questions.
When passing the second floor, the old servant who was following Young Master Bai paused imperceptibly, and moved his hand hanging by his side.
……………………………………………………………
Not far from the Sheriff's Mansion, Katsuragi recently set up a new inspection office.
On the bright side, it is the establishment of the Qi and Qin Dynasty, but the people staying here are actually the secret guards of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, belonging to the "White Crow". The secret intelligence department of the Jintang Dark Guard, known as the "White Crow", has been behind the pursuit of the remnants of the Kyushu bank these days.
The iron masks worn by the dark guards belonging to the "White Crow" have silver stripes, symbolizing the crow's feathers.
Ji Wu is the leader of the "White Crow" stationed in Gecheng. From his surname, we can know that he is a member of the Ji family of the Jin Tang Dynasty. The Jin Tangji family is indeed a lunatic family. It is not uncommon for the children of the Jin Tangji family to join the dark guards and become killers hidden in the dark—in a family where even the prince and emperor can be placed on the chessboard, everyone becomes a bet .
Cooperation with the Qi and Qin Dynasty was crucial, and the destruction of the Jiuzhou Bank was an extremely important part of the plan, so Ji Wu was sent out as the person in charge of the front line of the border.
As far as the current situation looks, the Qi Qin Dynasty seems to have the upper hand. But this is actually only temporary.
To this day, the remaining immortal sects have not taken positive measures. The immortal sects are shocked by the power accumulated by the dynasty secretly, so they are in the stage of secret visits. On the surface, the Qi and Qin dynasty, which had the upper hand, did not dare to act rashly. Both sides knew that a frontal war was inevitable, but maintained a strange stalemate with subtle tacit understanding.
What is stable is only the surface, and blood and blood prevail in the darkness.
A few days ago, Ji Wu received a secret letter, and got the traces of the remaining disciples of a Kyushu bank that they had been tracking for a while—they were going through Gecheng, and they were planning to break through the defense line and go towards Jiuxuanmen.
Ji Wu was not surprised that the opponent would choose Katsuragi as a breakthrough point, this is indeed a relatively weak place on the defensive line. However, only a hundred miles away from Gecheng City, there are natural mountains spreading northeast and southwest, forming a natural barrier. A mobile army of the Qi and Qin Dynasty is hidden in that mountain range.
If you want to leave the Qi Qin Dynasty and go to Jiuxuanmen, you must cross that mountain range.
The Lingxiao bird hovered high in the cloud curtain in the sky, cutting off the way for the cultivator Yujian to pass through the sky.
Ji Wu received the order to intercept and kill these people at all costs.
One of them must die.
