Devil’s Advent

The three city gates of Yingdu were taken down, leaving one in the hands of Chu people.

There is nothing new, but it is often very useful to enclose three parts and one part is missing. As for the city gate left out, the Jingnan Army has long been deployed to sharpen their knives.

Over there, Tian Wujing didn't know what was going on, and he didn't bother to know.

When he led his army to kill here,

The fate of this city, this imperial capital, is actually doomed. Now he is just going through a process.

look at that one

What finale dish did I leave for myself.

This city is in a panic right now, but where King Jingnan walks, it is extremely quiet. There is a clear distinction between ice and fire here.

The imperial city is ahead,

This towering city wall, this majestic palace gate, and this piece of orderly and solemn stairway looked down, to a great extent, restored the grand scene when Daxia was still there.

Chu people are so old-fashioned and respect ancient etiquette, where did they come from? Come from Daxia.

In comparison,

No matter whether it is Yan Jin or the Qian established later, apart from claiming to be the inheritor of Zhu Xia in name and proclaiming that Zhu Xia is orthodox in me, in fact, the etiquette and regulations of the Three Kingdoms for Da Xia have long been changed. up.

What he said in his mouth was Da Xia Ming's life, but in his heart, he had long regarded this as a profitable business.

Outside the imperial city, there is an alley. On one side of the alley is the imperial palace, and on the other side is a palace.

at this time,

The palace is closed,

inside,

It should be someone's.

Tian Wujing didn't know whose family this palace belonged to, but if he could live next to the palace, his ancestors should have been extremely glorious.

but,

nowadays,

When the horseshoes of the Yan people had already stepped on the steps of the imperial city, the palace remained silent.

And today,

silence,

is the real subject,

Those who can and dare to speak out are the minority.

actually,

If it were other generals of the Yan Army who entered Yingdu today, they would never be so deserted.

Especially when the high-ranking nobles find out that their majesty is probably no longer in the palace, the nobles' sense of current affairs will be reflected.

Because the real background of the great Chu nobles is not in Yingdu, but in the local fiefs.

In fact, they still have the capital to negotiate business. What Emperor Yan stepped on the door conveyed the idea of ​​a centralized monarchy. Subduing Dayan does not mean that you will be liquidated immediately, but what about the next generation of Emperor Yan? What about the next generation?

The aristocrats rebelled against the Yan State because with their political acumen, they had already seen clearly what kind of path Dayyan was going to take;

On one side, there are great hereditary nobles;

On the one hand, is the wealth and honor that will be liquidated and ended in the next generation at the latest.

If there is a choice,

Which would you choose?

But right now, the patriarchs or the essence of many families are already in Yingdu. If they are really taken over by one pot like this, or in other words, now they are gone and they choose to die for the next generation?

Which would you choose?

When things cannot be done,

I still choose to survive first and then enjoy it, instead of worrying about the flood after death.

But why was Nanhou of Yan Kingdom the one who broke into the imperial city?

A self-defeating monster,

A killing god who slaughtered 40,000 Qingluan troops under Yupan City,

How to drop?

How to drop?

Kneeling before him and begging for mercy,

Wait for him to say Put it all lightly?

If today,

It was not King Jingnan who came, but Hirano Bolai.

As Hirano Boda Chu's son-in-law,

After the nobles saw the direction of the wind, of course, there would be a large number of old and young who would choose to be buried in Dachu, but most of them would still come up to make friends.

After all,

It's also half of my family, isn't it?

It's not that Chu people don't understand enthusiasm, nor can they be enthusiastic, but they really don't know how to be enthusiastic when facing King Jingnan.

Therefore,

The city is now divided into two larger factions,

One faction was already organizing the escape, and went out through the city gate, but anyone with a little military common sense knew that this was a dead end.

The Yan people even saved the trouble of searching from house to house, and just made a few charges in the wilderness to finish the job.

The other school is called the Unmovable Mountain School.

Not surrender, not desperate resistance, just sitting like this, drinking tea, pretending that a mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his color.

romantic

Just to be able to pretend,

put on a show,

Who wouldn't like it?

As long as he doesn't die today, it will be a good talk in the future.

However, it is a pity that the two people who can influence the fate of this city no longer care about what it means.

Wonton, sell wonton!

At the entrance of the alley, there is a wonton stand.

The booth is small and there are no seats.

Behind, there is a flag with Wu Ji written on it.

There are time-honored brands in the alleys outside the imperial city in every country.

But it is not a time-honored store with a shop front, but a stall.

Before going to court, the ministers naturally had to get up early and wait at the gate of the palace, and it was inevitable that they would be hungry.

Therefore, it is the first choice to order the servants to go to the alley to buy some food to satisfy their hunger.

It's not that you can't bring it from home, but if you bring it from home, one is that it will lose the heat, and the other is that eating in a sedan chair or carriage is rickety, which is inconvenient and easy to stain the court clothes.

As for the Shang Dynasty bringing the cook and the ingredients, that's too ostentatious.

Even if some big aristocrats have vast fields of fertile land and countless servants, they still have to maintain a poor decency under the imperial city. For thousands of years, this has been an essential quality for an official.

Therefore, these small stalls and hawkers in Huangcheng Lane can play a great role.

Of course, don't think that these hawkers are really hawkers.

Those who can set up a stall here,

Even if it's just a small stall selling cakes or pancakes, the energy behind it is so great that ordinary vendors can't afford the stall fee here.

First of all, Fengchao Internal Guard will review the vendors who set up stalls here, and review their backgrounds, otherwise it would be a big joke to find out who will poison and kill a group of high officials?

Secondly, the stalls in Huangcheng Lane have to bid, and they can be regarded as one of Fengchao’s extra income. Here, the breakfast sellers all have flags on their backs, and they are all century-old restaurants in Yingdu City. .

You can’t get back your money by selling breakfast food, no matter how expensive you sell it, you can’t get back your money, but because the food is all those courtiers, so this advertisement, this face, you have to do it, if you don’t do it, others will do it.

but,

It's not the time to go to court today, and it's not the time to go to court, even if it is to go to court, no vendor dares to come out and set up a stall here.

However, a wonton stall appeared here.

Below is a small stove with charcoal burning. On the table, there are freshly wrapped wontons, large and small, and all kinds of seasonings are also prepared, which can be added according to the taste of customers.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing a bib, probably because he often worked with flour, so he looked a little pale.

Wu Ji behind it is actually a time-honored brand.

Many courtiers heard from their seniors that they had eaten Wuji's wontons when they first came to court.

There are also those who are interested in this wonton taste good, so they went to find out which shop in Yingdu set up this shop in Huangcheng Lane, but they found nothing.

Wu Ji seems to be a simple vendor selling wontons.

But the fool also knows that this is impossible.

But since no one can find out, no one will continue to investigate.

Since Fengchao Neiwei has asked people to sell wontons here and sold a century-old brand, he naturally has his reasons.

today,

Wu Ji is out again.

Unfortunately,

The blackness in front of him was not the courtiers of the Great Chu, but the people of Yan.

My lord, are you hungry, how about a bowl of wontons to warm your stomach?

Stall owner Wu Mazi shouted enthusiastically.

He didn't bother to hide, nor did he bother to put on a show.

Since he has already appeared here, there is no need to add anything to the liking. The teahouse drinkers like to hear such stories, but the person involved doesn't like to act like this foolishly.

King Jingnan walked over,

At this time,

the gate of the palace,

A sedan chair appeared,

The two bearers put down their sedan chairs,

An old man came down from it.

This person is Lingyin of the Great Chu, equivalent to the Minister of the Great Chu.

He was short in stature, and when he got old, he seemed to have shrunk, smaller.

The two bearers were just ordinary people, so there was nothing to say about their loyalty, but at this moment, they were still trembling in the face of a group of cavalry from the Jingnan Army who were like wolves and tigers.

Hahaha, go back, go back.

Ling Yin waved his hands and told his two bearers to go back.

These two bearers have carried the sedan chair for him since their grandfather's generation.

immediately,

Ling Yin also came to the wonton stand, sniffed,

road:

Oh, I haven't eaten this for a long time, I really panic.

Wu Mazi smiled and said, Lord Ling Yin is tired of eating.

That's right, that's right, hehe, in the early years, when Old Wu was here, I ate them every now and then. After being in your hands, these wontons really don't taste like they did when Old Wu was here.

Wu Mazi smiled, without saying a word, he quickly put two portions of wontons into the pot, and put the lid on the pot.

Immediately afterwards, he took out two bowls and began to mix the seasonings in them.

Master Ling Yin is still the old rule, more onions, more parsley, more spicy peppers and more sauce?

Ling Yin stretched out his hand, rubbed his red nose, and said:

It's fine if you don't forget.

How about you, my lord?

King Jingnan said, As you wish.

good.

Wu Mazi said to Ling Yin again: Look at the prince of the Yan Kingdom, he just doesn't pay attention to food and clothing. If we compare here, we will be far behind.

Humph.

Ling Yin rubbed his nose again, he obviously didn't like this very much, but he had to admit that it was true.

Eating and drinking, eating and drinking, talking about breaking the sky, is nothing more than eating and drinking enough. I really want to eat so well, can it be better than the gods in the sky?

Wu Mazi seemed to have opened up the chatterbox,

And said:

Look at our Huangcheng Lane, what kind of bergamot cabbage, what Linglong steamed stuffed bun, what kind of fish smooth soup, people who don't know it, think that our courtiers in Dachu are very down-to-earth, and eating and drinking are easy;

But I don't know how many chickens and ducks have to be boiled for the fresh soup, and how many treasures have to be thrown away.

With such precious things in my mouth,

Drinking such a precious soup base in a bowl,

you say,

Who will believe that people's lives are difficult and people's hearts are concerned?

Wu Mazi, why do you talk so much today! Ling Yin couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed, He Yan people don't know luxury and enjoyment?

Let me tell you, those people I knew back then...

They're all dead.

... Ling Yin.

The people of Yan will enjoy it, the clan of the Great Yan family, like the nobles of Great Chu, owns land and owns private soldiers.

enjoy

Who wouldn't.

After enjoying it, the interest comes. Eating a rough tea and light meal that ordinary people can only eat during the New Year is enough to be close to the people and natural.

Chu people are human beings, but Yan people are not human beings?

but,

Ling Yin knew that what people said was correct, the children of the Great Yan Clan he had known back then were all gone now.

Maybe they are doing hard labor somewhere, or they may be suffering as prisoners in the army.

all in one mind,

Just sweep it all up, sweep it up, and clean it up.

Ling Yin sighed, and said: It's not good to do this. After you step into the gate of the Yan Kingdom, you will still have dry land to fight, and there will be Jin land to fight. As long as you win the battle, no matter how bad the situation is, You can always hold your breath, can't you?

I'm big Chu,

Where can I play?

The Shanyue tribes are almost indistinguishable, and the remaining ones are either assimilated long ago and become docile, or they have been wiped out but are still resurgent.

The hearts of the people are on fire, you have to find a place to spread the fire, don't you?

You yourself, aren't you?

... Ling Yin.

Wu Mazi fished out the wontons and put them in a bowl, then took out a spoon and delivered them over.

Ling Yin picked up the bowl, ate one, and said while sipping:

It can't be done, it can't be done. The Xiong clan of Dachu has its roots in the nobles. It is because of our support that he can be the emperor. Without the support of the nobles, his position will not be right.

King Jingnan seemed not afraid of being poisoned by the other party, so he took a sip of the soup,

road:

My Tian parents and elders thought so too.

... Ling Yin.

This king never believes in the divine right of kings, nor does he believe that since ancient times, the great Xia in the past has collapsed into a mess?

In this world,

There are not many people who are really important;

Most of them are people who feel that they are important.

But now there are powerful enemies outside, the capital of Ying is lost, and the hearts of the people are scattered. My lord, tell me, how can this be done? Under the battle, go all out.

It is very difficult to persevere, but if the current situation is so good, no matter how difficult it is, you will persevere, right?

What do we hold back?

he,

What to stop?

King Jingnan shook his head,

road:

The king doesn't know.

He knew what the regent's purpose was,

But he really didn't know what the Dachu Regent's confidence was in doing this.

The emperor regards the world as a chessboard. My lord, do you think he would dare to open his door like this if there is no way out?

Are you asking the king?

Yes, my lord, it's still too late to go back now, please give me Dachu, leave a face, cede land, year coins, pay tribute, my Dachu can satisfy your Yan Kingdom.

King Jingnan smiled,

road:

Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish.

what for?

It's up to you to send me what I do, but I prefer to get it myself.

My lord, from now on, the nobles of the Great Chu will definitely be estranged from that person, and the great Chu will even fall into chaos. Wouldn't it be better for the lord to sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman?

You guys can't fight.

Why is the prince so determined?

My lord is also surnamed Tian.

... Ling Yin.

Wu Mazi supported the booth with his hands, listened carefully to the two talking, and said with a smile:

That's right, if the Yan Kingdom can produce a Jingnan King, can't we also produce a person who dares to create a pattern for the country among the nobles of Great Chu?

I don't understand

He thinks that the Southern Marquis of Yan Kingdom is a complete devil by self-destruction;

know,

It is clear how important a Tian Wujing is to a country.

Ling Yin said helplessly:

But a character like Wang Ye is really unparalleled in the world.

Self-destruction is full of doors, is it difficult?

Under coercion and temptation, there are quite a few people who are willing to be filial sons.

But the difficulty lies in that the person himself was a first-class family in the country before.

The difficulty lies in that after destroying the whole family, and then lead the army to go out, they will be invincible!

My lord, don't you have to turn around? Don't you be afraid, my lord. Once you enter this palace gate, you won't be able to get out?

Even if I trampled on my big Chu face and foundation, you don't have to worry about the future without you, Da Yan?

do not worry.

Is the prince so sure? Is it because you are sure that you will be able to enter the palace and then come out again, or is it that you have already made arrangements for your affairs?

This king does not believe that this palace gate can trap this king, and this king also believes that in the future, even if this king is not here, your country of Chu wants to go north, but it is wishful thinking.

My lord, little old man, please talk nonsense again.

King Jingnan was noncommittal.

Peace is the most important thing. Be a human being and leave a front line so that we can meet each other in the future.

King Jingnan looked at Ling Yin,

road:

Do you think, you, and the future?

Still feel that this city has a future?

Ling Yin put down the wonton bowl and burst into tears.

He staggered towards the closed palace door,

road:

That's all, anyway, this old man is the Ling Yin of the Chu State, and the Ling Yin is also the Prime Minister of the country, and he should be the body of the state. Unfortunately, this old man doesn't know martial arts, and he can't even lift a knife when he is too old.

The old man stood at the gate of the palace,

I beg you, my lord, to give this old man a good time before entering the palace.

while walking,

Ling Yin's figure stopped again,

road:

Also ask the prince to leave the whole body of the little old man.

paused,

Ling Yin said again;

It's best, spray some blood, and make it look like blood splashed on the palace gate.

Another pause,

If it's blood spurting, there must be a whole body.

Finally paused,

My lord, you are troubled.

Ling Yin went straight to the gate of the palace,

spread your hands,

shouted:

This old man is here. If Yangou wants to enter the gate of my Great Chu Palace, he has to step over the old man's body!

Wu Mazi laughed hehe twice,

Turning to look at King Jingnan,

road:

What do you think of the wontons, my lord?

Fair.

Although I know that you are not a person who pays attention to food, my lord, but I still feel very honored to get a word from you.

finished speaking,

Wu Mazi took two steps back,

Pointing to this wonton stand,

road:

Old man Ling Yin is right, in fact, the wontons cooked by my master are indeed tastier than mine, because I am better than my master.

Before he died, he was at the third rank, and I was better than my master.

This is the reason for everything you do.

The more time you practice, the better your kung fu will be. The more time you spend cooking wontons, the more flavorful the wontons will be.

Wu Mazi glanced at the wonton stall again, with a memory in his eyes.

King Jingnan looked at the man in front of him who was cooking wontons deftly before,

road:

I heard that there is always a shadow in the Imperial City of Great Chu.

The Imperial City of Great Chu has always been guarded by a shadow. It is isolated from the inner guard of Fengchao and is only loyal to the successive emperors of Chu.

Few people know who that shadow is and where he is.

Now,

The truth came out.

The shadows are all single passers-by, setting up a stall in Huangcheng Lane, selling wontons.

Since the founding of Great Chu, the imperial palace has never been breached by a coup d'état.

It's not that there haven't been coups, and it's not that there haven't been coups successfully.

But as long as the Emperor Chu is in the imperial city, he is safe.

Five years ago, the Fourth Highness, who was not yet the king, came to my stall and ate a bowl of wontons. Wu Mazi's eyes revealed a touch of remembrance, Your Highness asked, I'm really hungry, it's just raw wontons. It can be eaten without boiling in hot water.

I said:

no,

When cooking wontons, there must be rules for cooking wontons. The rules are set by the master, the master's master, and the master's master's master.

Wontons must be cooked well, thoroughly, and cooked until they are really delicious.

The emperor of Chu passed away, and the chaos among the princes began, but those brothers were defeated and arrested by the regent king one by one.

The imperial guards, the Shi family, and several first-class nobles all stood behind the regent early on.

It can be said,

The Prince Regent has long been the default winner.

But the first emperor lay on the sick bed for several years, which meant that Da Chu wasted several years.

During these years,

The big Yanma stepped on the gate and attacked and destroyed Jin.

When Great Chu was about to annex it into a state, Chu State, which had just escaped from the chaos of the princes, only had time to send Qu Tiannan to lead a Qingluan army northward.

If the state of Chu hadn't lost these few years, if the regent had been given a few more years to allow for the ownership of the land of the Three Jins, and even the current situation where the Great Yan army is approaching the city, it would not have happened.

In Wu Mazi's mouth, he revealed a secret from that year.

It's not that the regent didn't think of mobilizing early so that his father, who was seriously ill, would die earlier.

but in the end,

The regent still chose to wait, maybe, he wanted to wait for someone who was justified, maybe, he didn't want to bear the notoriety of killing his father, maybe, he was not fully prepared, and he didn't appease the power of the government, the opposition and the nobles;

certainly,

Also a possibility,

He failed to persuade a hawker who sold wontons at a stall in Huangcheng Lane.

My lord, the villain has been thinking about one thing today. If the villain made an exception back then, maybe today, my lord, you will not be able to enter the capital city of Ying, and you will not be able to knock on the palace of the imperial city?

The villain wants to keep this rule, because before, the villain has always believed that keeping this rule is the best for Da Chu.

but today,

What I want to protect will be lost because of my protection.

prince,

The villain dares to ask you,

Do you think,

Did the villain do something wrong?

The villain, he must have done something wrong, and the king must also think that the villain did something wrong, so he didn't take the villain away.

Although,

A villain won't leave, but the king didn't even ask.

well.

asked,

Wu Mazi began to release the tyrannical aura of a peak martial artist of the third rank, like the rising sun rising from the ground!

A martial artist at the top of the third rank guards the Imperial City Lane,

Which prince wants to commit a rebellion before,

You have to weigh it first!

Tian Wujing stood there,

Carrying the energy bursting out from the wonton stall owner alone,

Slowly said:

Knowing that I have sinned against me is only spring and autumn.
