The sky was dark, the moon hung low, and crows were lingering among the taunting old trees.
Bai Lin looked at the half-roll of yellow paper in his hand, and subconsciously clenched his fists. There was a blazing flame burning in his eyes, and he whispered: "Princes and generals, I would rather have the kind! Princes and generals, I would rather have the kind." Huh!
Really? "
His ancestral home is Liaodong. He has been a farmer for generations, working hard on the fields, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
With the iron hooves of the Sui Emperor stepping on him, a million-strong army expedition to Goguryeo was defeated, and his life was changed.
The family's land was completely requisitioned, and the cattle used to cultivate the land were confiscated by the government.
Dad was also drafted to dig the Grand Canal and never returned.
The once lively family gradually became deserted. Due to excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the mother died of illness and the family fortunes declined.
He was also captured by the imperial court as a young man and became a corvee for digging canals. He went to Luoyang thousands of miles away and worked all day long.
Now, with the establishment of the anti-banner in the world, he has become the captain of Wang Shichong, the [King of Luoyang].
His twenty-five years of life have always been ordinary and mediocre. His only wish is to live well, get a wife and have children.
But now, this yellow paper made him feel a little restless.
If I could get the Emperor's Jade Seal...
Bai Lin's breathing was a little rapid, and the yellow paper was twisted into pieces.
He looked around and saw that there were only a few people around, then he held the long knife and quietly walked out of the military camp.
Although it was late at night, the city was still brightly lit.
Although the common people were escorted by King Wucheng of the imperial court, they completely left Yangzhou City.
But the wine in the wine shop and the chicken, duck and fish in the inn still exist.
Nowadays, they have become something enjoyed by volunteers everywhere.
Bai Lin stood in the light, looking at the numerous figures in the distance. He was a little at a loss.
A moment of passion made him want to look for the emperor's jade seal.
But after he woke up, he realized that he didn't even know what the jade seal looked like!
All he could do was wander around blindly, like a headless fly!
"Brother, I see you are confused? Do you need a divination?"
The clear words sounded, and Bai Lin looked back slightly.
In the dim light, a white-haired Confucian scholar in Taoist robes sat alone, mysterious and aloof.
"I, I have no money. Besides, I am just a corps commander under King Luoyang. I can't give you anything." Bai Lin whispered.
He has met many charlatans, and they often say mysterious things just to get money.
"Wang Shichong's men are not good masters." The white-haired Confucian scholar spoke with profound meaning, speaking calmly.
He, he doesn’t call him King of Luoyang?
Bai Lin trembled all over, with thousands of thoughts floating around in his heart.
The King of Luoyang is the most powerful among the princes who hold high the banner of righteousness in the world.
How could this charlatan disrespect him so much?
Could it be that I have met a real martial artist?
"Master, I don't have any money, can you do divination?" Bai Lin slowly approached.
At this time, he noticed that the magician in front of him did have a somewhat transcendent temperament. The tortoise shell diagram in his palm was quite ancient and extraordinary.
"Where the lights are dim, meeting each other is fate. This hexagram is a gift from me. However, I see that there is a sense of hesitation and hesitation under the pavilion, so I am just curious." The white-haired scholar smiled lightly and spread his fingers lightly. , with six copper coins spread out: "After all, I think you are a little out of tune with this mess."
Bai Lin gritted his teeth slightly and said in a concentrated voice: "Master, have you ever heard of a saying? Princes, generals, and prime ministers would rather have their own kind!"
I want to know, can I really change my future? I really don’t want to be a pawn anymore!
"
"Is this what Tai Shigong said in "Historical Records"? The legend is that it was said by King Chen in the past." The Confucian scholar gently placed six copper coins aside, and there was a bit of playfulness in his words: "Your Excellency's fate is not simple. !”
"Since we are destined, then let me show you a clear path."
Bai Lin was stunned for a moment and looked a little excited: "Master, please speak clearly."
The Confucian scholar opened the tortoise shell lightly, and there was a deep meaning in his words. He tapped his waist with five fingers: "From here to the north, eight thousand nine hundred steps, is the land of wealth and glory. Remember, the sword needs to be unsheathed!"
! "
Although Bai Lin felt confused, he still bowed reverently.
He didn't notice that the scimitar at his waist seemed to have a flash of lightning.
"I have to say, you are quite suitable to be a magic stick."
Slightly teasing words rang out, and Chen Xiu's figure quietly emerged.
Chen Wu stared at Bai Lin in the distance and said slowly: "I don't understand what you mean. He is not destined to be an emperor, nor does he have the fortune of a prince or general. Do you have any deep meaning in choosing him?"
"No. It's just that when I used the power of my soul to see into Yangzhou Mansion, I felt his eagerness for change. So, I gave him a chance." There was a bit of ruthlessness in Chen Xiu's eyes: " If he can grasp it, he can at least advance to three levels in a row! If he cannot grasp it, then he will perish. What I want is not him as a person, but his identity!"
Bai Lin silently counted the steps in his mind.
When he reached the eight thousand five hundredth step, he was slightly stunned.
In front is a pavilion.
In front of him was the secret passage.
Coincidentally, both sides were heavily guarded, but here was the gap between the guards.
"Is this really my place of wealth and honor, as the master said?" Bai Lin thought to himself, and slowly stepped into the dark secret passage.
The door at the end opens.
In the light of the lights, the young master in half-dressed clothes had a greedy face and an evil smile.
Under the wall, there was a poor girl with no clothes and tears in her eyes.
Bai Lin swallowed, his legs trembling.
He knew this young master.
[King Xia] Dou Jiande’s only son!
"Um?"
Seeing the arrival of an outsider, the young master raised his eyes slightly, with a bit of cruelty in his eyes, and said coldly: "Who are you? How did you get here? Guards, where are the guards? Drag this guy out who ruins your mood. Cut it off!
"
Bai Lin felt a chill all over his body. In a panic, he thought of the magician's words and subconsciously held down the blade!
The next moment, the blade was unsheathed and lightning flashed!
!
The huge pavilion was cut in two by the sword.
The young master's head suddenly fell to the ground, bright red like a tide!
"this........"
Bai Lin stood there at a loss.
He just wanted to draw his sword to defend himself, not to kill anyone!
Looking at the collapse of the pavilion from a distance, Chen Wu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Has your plan started?"
"Dou Jiande spent half his life without a son. Now, his son was beheaded by Wang Shichong's men. Do you think he will get angry or seek trouble from Wang Shichong?"
"For Wang Shichong, it's impossible for a soldier who has perfected the Vajra Realm to kill the son of Dou Jiande, who has perfected the Supernatural Power Realm, right?" Chen Xiu sneered, with a hint of joking in his words: "Moreover, the soldiers under his command, Hand it over to others in full public view. Does he, the King of Luoyang, still deserve it? Does his face still matter?"
"The conflict between the two anti-kings will definitely affect the entire Yangzhou!"
“The powder keg of Yangzhou City is starting to heat up!”
"Everything is as I expected!"
