Chapter seven hundred and twenty eight: King Qin escorts
Mr. Yan nodded and agreed.
He smiled at Chen Kaizhi and asked slowly, "So, can Duke Guo have any means to respond?"
When Chen Kaizhi heard this, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.
"I am actually a very simple person. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, I am a very complicated person, but I think they must have misunderstood me. In my life, I will only accept one thing..."
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, but his hands were still rubbing the desk and stopped talking. But there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and there seemed to be a cunning light flashing through his eyes.
The night is getting deeper, and the late night without stars or moon is particularly dark.
The pier in the outer city.
It seems to be restless.
Most of the families here are poor and poor, and they all set up water buildings or sheds along the canals, which are densely packed and endless. It is wet and dark, and even during the day, it is difficult to see the light. On such a dark night, it is even darker. The feet are busy all day in the morning, and at this time they should have been sleeping soundly, and occasionally, there will be night crying and dog barking.
This dense water net is like a pile of mud, and usually it has a stench, so that ordinary servants refuse to come.
The institutions that manage here belong to the Ministry of Revenue. Naturally, it is impossible for the adults of the Ministry of Revenue to come here in a condescending manner. For them, they only need to care about the issue of grain storage. Therefore, for hundreds of years, the real managers here have mostly been the so-called "scented heads" that grew up from the water village. They are upward, flattering the treasurers above, responsible for joining forces to negotiate with merchants on unloading and loading prices, while downward, they are the managers of this water village.
But today, the night that should have been peaceful became unusual, and more and more torches were lit.
Then, in the dark sky, a sudden Kongming lantern rose up, and countless eyes looked at the light of the Kongming lantern in the darkness of the ground, and someone suddenly let out a strange cry in the darkness.
Then, the gong rang. First, the dog barked rapidly, and the sensitive child cried. Then, in the dark, there were shouts and kills everywhere.
The waterway here directly connects to the inner city. It seems that someone has already opened the water gate that blocks the waterway at night, so someone directly enters the inner city from the waterway. For a moment, inside and outside the city gate seemed to be hit by a slaughter, shouting and killing the sky.
This sudden shout of killing suddenly woke everyone up.
But in this panic night, no one knew what happened. The restless people closed their doors and windows. The officers and soldiers of each battalion restrained themselves and did not dare to act rashly. They just went back and forth and found out the news and stepped on the moss-filled bluestone slabs in the city.
"The south gate is broken, the south gate is broken!"
Someone shouted, and then, in the darkness, countless people seemed to pour into the doorway. At this moment, the originally restless people, or the timid and trembling people, suddenly became even more restless.
A few days ago, there were disasters near the Gyeonggi Province. There were already many victims who fled famine outside the city, so they stayed outside the city and barely survived.
It was winter and the weather began to turn cold, but even in the capital, there were still no tiles on top and no cones on the bottom, and there were people who had to curl up in the dark alleys, and the cracks between the walls were shivering in this cold night.
Even at the foot of the Emperor of Dachen, in this prosperous Luoyang City, the country was far less solid than those who usually shouted that the world was peaceful and the sea was peaceful and the rivers were clear. A slight spark of Mars suddenly made more and more people restless.
Noisy sounds resounded throughout the night sky.
"There is grain in the official warehouse..."
The magic of this sentence is enough to make any untouchable, nodded, or drive away at will in front of the official officers, suddenly burst out with blood from the untouchables, and suddenly, from a docile lamb, they had fangs.
So.
There were shouting and killing everywhere in the capital, and fire broke out in many places in the city.
The shouts of killing were clearly transmitted to the Northern Town Fushi.
Chen Kaizhi was still kneeling in the public room, with his long sword lying on the desk. He squinted his eyes, listened to the movements, and sighed secretly, but his face remained silent.
Mr. Yan also sighed.
Chen Yixing closed his eyes and looked ashamed.
The situation was even more serious than the three of them imagined.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, look at Mr. Yan, and sighed.
"Nine out of ten of these people are not bandits. I thought that there were only thousands of people who were in trouble, but now I heard the shouts from all sides, and the country was five times more numerous than the wall paper that could be easily broken. This is not so much a thief fanning the flames, but it is better to say that the meat eaters in the temple are despised. The rich people smell wine and meat, and there are bones on the road. People in the rich people closed the door, and did not look at the people who were not covered in clothes and food, but only watched the singers singing and dancing in their own mansion, eating delicious food, and talking to others about scriptures and classics. They thought that the world was peaceful. The country of Dachen was as stable as an iron barrel, but they didn't know that outside this door, there were dry firewood, and someone fanned the wind and a little spark came out, so the fire was a raging fire."
Now he finally knew what King Zhao wanted to do, and he also knew that these people must have been instigated by King Zhao and others.
The noises in the sky were still lingering in my ears.
Chen Kaizhi curled his lips gently and couldn't help but sneer.
"What's even more shameful is that in the temple, some people may not know that this firewood fire can still be called foolish; but some people, in order to fight for power and profit, fan the flames and try to get chestnuts from the fire, which... is even more shameless!"
These words made Chen Yixing feel ashamed.
Yes, those who don’t know that the situation is serious can be called stupid, so they still live in drunkenness and dream of death, thinking that their wealth can continue like their ancestors for five hundred years.
But the more shameful people are those who are clearly a mirror of this. These people are clearly capable and wise. When they see these situations, they are not saddened by it. They are obviously noble in their identities and have the ability to try their best to change these situations, appease the desperate people, or try their best to calm the anger of the lower classes. However, they are of high status and powerful, and they are in power. They have this ability and wisdom, but they are unwilling to do these things. Instead, they use their abilities and wisdom to use these "ants" as a means of fighting for power and profit.
Such a person is really hateful.
While Chen Yixing sighed, he couldn't help but look up at Chen Kaizhi and said word by word: "So you need to change."
Mr. Yan also nodded in agreement: "To change, we must start with the lord and you and me." He did not forget to remind Chen Kai of the current situation, "But, what should we do now be the most urgent task?"
Chen Kaizhi frowned, then smiled, and then said lightly: "I said, I am a very simple person, very simple, I only recognize one thing. Two gentlemen, let's sit high here. Beizhen Fushi is safe. Now, it's my turn to deal with it."
He got up, picked up the long sword on the desk, and strolled out in his hand.
Outside the public housing, you can see the sky in the distance, and the fire was reflected in the distance. The leaping fire in the distance lit up the night sky. Chen Kaizhi's face was a little red when the fire was pouring down.
Chen Kaizhi was under the fire, squinted his eyes slightly and looked into the distance, as if he was thinking.
Outside the public housing, it was already crowded with hundreds of people waiting with their breath. There were officers from the Warriors' Battalion and military officers from the Jinyiwei. Since the beginning of night, they stood outside without making any noise. Seeing Chen Kaizhi come out, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi only looked at it for a while and soon came to his senses and smiled at everyone: "Did you hear the shouts outside?"
Everyone was silent because they knew that the Duke of the National Guardian had something to do, so they all held their breath and waited quietly.
Chen Kaizhi looked around everyone and said, "In the middle of the night, suddenly, the capital was in chaos. This is really a wonderful night. What is needed most in such a night is that it is not the officers and soldiers who suppress the rebellion. My Da Chen is in the capital, with 100,000 elite soldiers. What kind of chaos can a mere group of mobs cause?"
Chen Kaizhi's eyes finally fell into the light of the sky, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and continued, "But, a real man should do something. What should we do if such a thing happens in such a night?"
"Self-responsible for the king!" Someone answered eagerly.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, and then shook his head: "There are 20,000 imperial guards in the palace, a moat, and a city wall as high as two meters. How can the thieves enter the palace?"
So everyone stopped talking and continued to wait.
Chen Kaizhi finally raised his eyebrows and sneered: "However, I, Chen Kaizhi, only recognize one thing, that is, no matter what happens in Beijing, I will look for King Zhao, only King Zhao!"
The logic of "..." is a bit strange. In other words, it is difficult for people who are not interested in thinking to keep up with Chen Kaizhi's thinking.
"So!" Chen Kaizhi's face was a little cruel: "What he said just now is right. It is the one who should be the king and the emperor, but the one who needs to be protected is not the palace, but the king's mansion. It is not Your Majesty, but His Highness of the King of Zhao!"
"From now on, we will follow me except those who are left behind and go to the Zhao Palace. In order to prevent the thief from hurting His Highness, we will set out immediately."
Chen Kaizhi looked sideways, glanced at Xu Jie in the crowd, curled his lips slightly, and asked lightly: "Captain Xu, have you brought your artillery team?"
Xu Jie hurriedly said, "Report to your order, as you ordered, all thirty artillery were transported to the Beizhen Fushi."
Chen Kaizhi nodded with satisfaction, showing a very gratifying look: "Pull my general cannons up in case of emergency!"
