Chapter 421 Huizhou County
The rising sun has just begun to rise, and the warm sun in the east has just revealed some morning light. When the rows of houses and streets are still hidden in the thick fog, the thick city gates have already been opened by the guards.
At the end of a night of turmoil and bustle, Huizhou County gradually woke up from silence again.
The influx of vegetable farmers, hawkers, and merchants carrying goods into the city instantly spread the smoke of the world along the spacious blue brick and stone road into the small town.
Although the aftermath of the barbaric disasters and natural disasters in the north did not really affect Huizhou County, the war still had a certain impact on it.
The turmoil that has lasted for several years in the northern border has caused many merchants and sword-wielding knights to use this small county at the intersection of the two provinces as a transit point for their journey north. The arrival of these speculators has given this originally The unremarkable county town has brought business opportunities and development, but it has also brought a lot of chaos.
With the rooster crowing in the backyard,
As usual, Tang Si opened the door of his small restaurant in the early morning light. When he was moving the prepared tables, chairs and stools to the street to set up a stall, he found that another person had died in front of his house.
jianghu people.
Looking at the calluses on the corpse's hands and the knife wounds stained red with blood, Tang Si could identify the rough identity of the other party at a glance.
After being quiet for a while, he silently moved the body to the door of the shop next door, and then took two basins of water to wash away the blood stains on his door.
He had no intention of reporting to the official, because it was useless to report to the official.
On the contrary, he even had to be blackmailed by the police officers to pay for the disposal of the body.
When faced with such an unlucky thing as opening the door to see a dead body, Tang Si was no longer in the mood to open the door for business.
With this body here, there is a high probability that no one will come to eat at his restaurant.
Thinking in his mind, Tang Si's eyes were a little numb and he was about to close the door again.
After all, this is the second time this month.
There are no troops stationed in Huizhou County, or it can be said that all the troops stationed here have gone north to fight against the barbarians.
For these warriors from all over the world, the only violent machine the county magistrate can use is the pampered head-catching grandpa.
Is it realistic to let these young soldiers who have been operating in Huizhou County for several generations or even dozens of generations fight against those desperadoes?
This is not realistic.
Over the years when barbaric disasters have arisen, the sounds of shouting and fighting with soldiers and halberds from time to time in the inns in Huizhou County have become the norm, and the death of people has also become the norm.
Sighing in his heart, Tang Si slowly closed the wooden door of his house.
“Aren’t you going to report to the official?”
At the moment the wooden door was about to close, a gentle male voice suddenly came from the door of the shop on the side where he placed the body.
Tang Si was stunned when he heard the sound.
He remembered that the streets were deserted just now.
The action of closing the door subconsciously paused. Tang Si looked in the direction of the sound, and then his eyes froze.
The streets were deserted at dawn, and in the somewhat dim environment, a long-haired man appeared in front of the body of the charlatan at some point, staring at the other person's wounds with interest.
A good-looking man.
Just now a sigh arose in Tang Si's heart. After Tang Si saw the other party's clothes clearly, his legs felt weak.
This is a purple and black attire with a waistband.
Although he, an old man, didn't know the exact value, he could tell that this thing was more valuable than the official robe worn by the county magistrate.
The panic spread uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart, and Tang Si immediately knelt on the ground, banging his head on the ground hard, and said in a shuddering voice:
"Big man, this is not done by little people"
ˆ “.”
The man gave the vendor a slightly strange look.
He just asked why he didn't report to the official, what about that?
Thinking in his mind, the man subconsciously prepared to use Yuan Qi to lift the other person up, but then he held back.
He saw the bone-chilling fear in the other person's eyes when he looked at him.
It would be better to let him stand up at this time than to kill him directly.
Glancing in the direction of the county government office, the man looked thoughtful and continued: "I know it wasn't you. You, a mortal, can't kill a warrior."
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty’s Insight”
As he spoke, he knocked his head hard to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the man no longer had the intention to continue asking questions. He sighed in his heart and disappeared from the street in a flash.
Tang Si hadn't seen this mysterious young master make a sound for a long time. He quietly raised his head and found that he had disappeared, and what disappeared with him was the corpse that had been burned to ashes.
Not daring to get up immediately, Tang Si continued to kneel for a long time. It wasn't until there was a sound from the shop next door that he hurriedly got up from the ground. As he closed the door, he trembled and murmured in a low voice:
“Grandpa Immortal, what are you doing in the county at this time?”
Although it is a county seat, the city wall of Huizhou County is also several feet high.
While the crowds below were rushing into the city, a handsome man sat idly on the city gate tower overlooking the sunrise on the skyline.
From time to time, another figure fell to the man's side.
The handsome man was not surprised to see the visitor. He patted the place next to him and greeted with a smile:
"I have already said that it would be a waste of time to walk around asking that person for a long time. It is better to enjoy the sunrise with me here."
Looking at the playful and smiling Li Yunqing, Xu Yuan leaned over and sat next to him and said:
"The people in the city are used to seeing corpses in the streets. This is an act that violates the laws of Great Yan. Don't you, the prince, want to say something?"
Li Yunqing glanced sideways at Xu Yuan's calm expression and raised the corners of his lips:
"What are you talking about? We have been fighting in the north for so many years, and there has been no large-scale unrest here. It is already pretty good. Don't ask too much."
Speaking of which,
Li Yunqing curled his lips:
"Besides, why don't the common people in the world fall under my control? They have to find my imperial brother."
Xu Yuan took a deep look at this kid and shook his head gently:
“Actually, that’s not what matters to me.”
Li Yunqing raised his eyebrows. He also saw what happened below and said with a smile:
“What do you care about is that person’s attitude towards you?”
"Yeah." Xu Yuan did not deny: "It's like I will kill him at any time."
Li Yunqing rolled his eyes and sneered:
“You are so sentimental.”
Xu Yuan glanced at the boy and frowned:
“What is sentimentality? It has become commonplace to kill people in the city, but outside the city.”
“I know, but so what?”
.”Xu Yuan.
Li Yunqing's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity. He reached out and knocked on the city gate tower under him, and said with a faint smile:
“Changtian, do you think our father and the others don’t know these things?”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan rubbed his brows a little irritably:
"They knew from the beginning that this was the inevitable consequence of the proliferation of warriors."
Flowing the practice method into the folk, while breaking the foundation of the ancestors, also brings great turmoil to the bottom, or the necessary pain.
It’s just that when this pain of great inflammation falls on an individual person of Dawn, it will be a disaster.
“Now that you know, why are you angry?”
Li Yunqing still looked carefree and leisurely, and said leisurely:
“If you don’t destroy, you don’t build. Sacrifice is a necessary condition for creating a peaceful and prosperous age.
“This is still the case with this death.
“Changtian, what will you do when chaos breaks out in the future?”
