When Chen Yiqi heard this, he reached out and took the paper handed over by Lu Dahu without thinking too much.
There were not many words on the paper, so he gently unfolded the paper with both hands and took a look.
At that time, he frowned and then crumpled the paper into a ball. Just when he was about to throw it away, he seemed to think of something again, and then he unfolded and folded the crumpled paper again, and held it in his hand.
"Sir, what is written on this?" Lu Dahu looked at Chen Yiqi like this and asked softly with curiosity.
"What else can I write? It's just some nonsense about persuading surrender." Chen Yiqi waved his hand and replied calmly.
"Tell me about it, sir." Lu Dahu couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked as if asking for reward.
"What's there to say about persuading surrender? Do you still want to surrender?" Chen Yiqi replied seriously.
"I don't dare. This subordinate has absolutely no such intention. I have been convicted of the crime, and my loyalty to the emperor and the country can be learned from all sources." Lu Dahu quickly knelt down and explained.
"Dahu, you are still young. Take my advice, this officialdom is often more dangerous than the battlefield. The swords and guns on the battlefield are visible, but the swords and guns in the officialdom are invisible." Chen Yiqi went over to help Lu Dahu, who was kneeling on the ground. Said in a deep tone
"Curiosity killed the cat since ancient times! Some things are better not to know than to know. If someone who wants to harm you finds out, it will not only affect your official career, but it may even kill your family."
"My subordinates know." Lu Dahu immediately nodded in agreement. However, the curiosity in my heart became even stronger.
"Okay, go ahead and give the order. If anyone sees these papers, they should pick them up and hand them over. No one should keep any of them, otherwise they will be punished." Chen Yiqi ordered.
"Yes, sir. I will inform you immediately." Lu Dahu replied immediately, then said goodbye to Chen Yiqi and left.
After a few sticks of incense, Lu Dahu came over with a small stack of similar paper and handed it to Chen Yiqi.
At this time, the Eight Banners cavalry who had just gone to chase the rebels also happened to be back.
When the Eight Banners cavalry passed the city gate, Lu Dahu clearly saw that none of the horses seemed to have the heads of rebels hanging on them. On the contrary, they seemed to have suffered a lot and brought back many casualties.
Looking at the many Eight Banners cavalry dejectedly passing through the city gate, Lu Dahu couldn't help but think of the day when he was patrolling the market and heard the gang's rumors about these short-haired thieves.
Everything in this world has supernatural powers, and ghosts and gods have existed since ancient times. Do you think this group of rebels are human beings? They are not human beings, they are evil spirits from the underworld.
These ferocious spirits that should have driven the prince into the underworld for eternity were now summoned by the damn rebel leader with his blood-red soul-calling flag. Normal people would fight like they were desperate for their lives, and it would be difficult to kill them without three or five people.
Do you think they are fighting and killing people? Wrong, they are actually robbing the Reincarnation Bead 1.
What is the reincarnation bead?
You don’t even know about the reincarnation bead? Everyone has a reincarnation bead, which is used when you are reincarnated.
Everyone knows that where people have died, people are more likely to die! Everyone, think about it, is this true? Why? It's because of the reincarnation bead.
The dead need to drag some unlucky people to support them and snatch their reincarnation beads so that they can be reincarnated. Then the person who was pulled down can only continue to wander around to find another person.
Hey, don't believe it. Think carefully about whether this is the case. Why is it that places where people die are always prone to trouble, but places where people have never died are mostly fine?
so! Without the Reincarnation Pearl, you will always be a lonely ghost. Even if you were chosen for reincarnation, you still wouldn't be able to do so.
oh! (Everyone burst into realization)
Anyone they kill will have their reincarnation beads taken away, and they can only wander around in the wild as lonely ghosts. So that explains why so many people choose to surrender to them. At least if you are alive, your reincarnation pearl will not be taken away.
Why is this happening?
Maybe it was the rebel leader who had made an agreement with the Lord of Hell! As long as you surrender, everything will be fine. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos? There can still be people!
Makes sense. (Everyone nodded in approval)
So why did many of those who surrendered join this group of vicious gods? (someone asked)
You are stupid, only those who join will be blessed with mana and have the ability to snatch the reincarnation beads.
I'm fine, there's no point in snatching it! (Someone else said)
So you are stupid. If you have a few extra ones, if a relative or friend dies in an accident, can you give them to them so that they can be reincarnated and don’t have to suffer anymore? Otherwise, you can still sell people! So you deserve to be poor, why should you be afraid if you have a baby? (another voice replied contemptuously)
Oh, it turns out this is possible. (Everyone nodded in approval again)
This also explains why many people who surrendered are so brave. They are not just killing people, but robbing treasures...
Ha ha……
"Of course the rumors in the market are not true, but it is true that the rebels are powerful. The Jurchens, who are said to be invincible, have suffered losses in front of them again and again." Lu Dahu said softly to himself naturally.
"Maybe this world wants to..." As he spoke, Lu Dahu looked up at the sky above.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and half of the sky was illuminated red.
As time passed, the rebels showed no signs of attacking the city. It's time for Lu Dahu to be transferred back.
Under normal circumstances, he should have returned to the military camp during the war. However, in recent days, the military camps in Jiangning Mansion have been occupied by too many troops transferred from other places. Those Green Camp soldiers who lived in Jiangning Prefecture were allowed to go home and live there. They only had to arrive at the roll call when the roll call was called and when they heard the drum roll of the assembly.
Night came quietly, and the temperature dropped even further. Suddenly a cold wind blew, making people shiver.
There were beggars sleeping on the street, gathering under the eaves of others to keep warm. It seemed that the dilapidated City God's Temple couldn't fit in.
Most of the shops in the city have been closed, and only a few rice shops are still opening their doors with braziers lit. There is still some time before the curfew, but those who are still waiting in the long queue to buy rice are all anxious and uneasy.
Since the government released the news that the rebels are coming, the price of rice in the city has been rising day by day. Originally it was only twelve cents per liter, but now it has increased to almost thirty cents.
Now that the rebels are about to arrive, it seems that a siege of the city will be inevitable again. I don’t know how long the city will be besieged, but once the city gates are closed, the price of rice will only rise and will never come down. This makes people who cannot buy rice inevitably feel worried.
