Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 1

This year was relatively peaceful. The wars in the south gradually subsided, but the annoying floods and insects, coupled with the heavy land rent and national tax, seemed like a soft knife to cut people, but through the ages, corvee taxes have gradually become accustomed to that. , It’s not a serious injury, people care about their limited livelihood, sow seeds, and wait for the autumn harvest full of hope. Even if it’s all their hard work, it’s too far away to serve the country, and they just laugh it off as a conversation piece after dinner.The clamoring rebels in the Jingzhou area, under the torrent of steel from the imperial army, also lost their spirits and scattered like birds and beasts.

The land in this area is rich, and the green fields are like a picture scroll. Here is Guangling, which is the pastoral described by the poet.

Today, a convoy from the northern capital broke the tranquility of the official road. Thirty heavy-armored warriors crowded around a bay red carriage like stars and moons. Armored cavalry is also defiant.

In addition to the thirty northern armored retinues guarding the carriage, there were also three hundred Wuyue infantry leading the way in front of the team, and the leader also had three men and three horses.

If someone who knows horses saw it, they would click their tongues secretly, thinking that Guangling is going to come to some great big shots today.Of these three horses, one of them is the northern treasure "Jedi", a well-known military horse that travels thousands of miles in the wild without trampling the soil. Non-members of the Zhongzhou Iron Army cannot ride on it.Sure enough, the big and round iron man sitting firmly on the saddle was wearing armor and a helmet, and a three-foot sword symbolizing the rank of the rank was pinned to his waist, with a strong military brand.

Although the other two riders were not military horses, they were not ordinary good horses either.One of them, Mr. Binbin, wore a long gown with a sense of sophistication, and the precious horse under his crotch showed a vermilion color. He was a "rouge" with blood from the Western Regions. In order to be strong and eager to win, he would not hesitate to promise a reward of a hundred gold for a test ride. Even if the horse is so precious, then the identity of the owner of the horse needless to say how respectable his status is.

"Your Highness, what is the origin of the person in the carriage? It's such a big show." But even such a respectable young master humbly smiled at the people riding side by side.

He is Yu Xiong, the direct son of the general under King Wu's tent. A few days ago, he was looking for sex with a group of like-minded brothers in a brothel. , Secretly going out of the city hundreds of miles to meet the distinguished guests, we can't do it with great fanfare.Just led [-] soldiers and horses, marched out of the city in a mighty manner, but met the eldest son of King Wu, His Royal Highness insisted on disguised to come together to receive distinguished guests.

As a result, when they arrived at the place, they were even more dumbfounded when they saw only the strong man with thirty riders alone escorting the carriage.

Are you kidding me?
He had seen a portrait of this black-faced man, he was the No. 20 Scholar in Tai'an [-] Years Emperor himself, surnamed Fan and named Chu.It is said that this man was born with supernatural power and unstoppable courage. He won the three armies with one against a hundred in martial arts competitions before the imperial court.Then, the news of his resignation came out. At that time, all the princes in the area were inquiring about his whereabouts, throwing olive branches, trying to recruit him under his command. Unfortunately, Fan Chu disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world.

But he didn't expect that the important person who came from the capital this time was actually escorted by him personally?
Prince Guanyu, who was called "His Royal Highness", lowered his voice and pointed his finger to the north: "It's no harm to serve the big man from above."

Yu Xiong was terrified, a big shot from the capital?You must know that His Royal Highness's father is the king of Wu wearing a red robe and a crown, a serious and hereditary marquis, who controls the six counties in Jiangdong and holds [-] soldiers and horses. He is a real feudal official.Even he said he was a big shot, so could it be that the person in the carriage is the court minister?royal?

Not allowing him to think deeply, at this moment, a thunderous sound resounded from the sky, dull and melodious, like the ringing of an ancient bronze bell, followed by dark clouds and sudden gusts of wind, like a harbinger of an approaching storm.

Yu Xiong frowned, feeling surprised, it was really strange, these few days have been sunny and good weather, and the rainy season has passed, there shouldn't be such a sudden change in the weather.The two states of Wu and Yue are adjacent to the East China Sea, and they are veritable coastal areas. Affected by the monsoon climate, if the rain falls, it will be extremely long and it is difficult to stop.

The rain fell so suddenly that the two of them didn't have time to react. It was thick and thin, like silk. All of a sudden, the sky seemed to be immersed in a haze of gray. , and only vague outlines remain.

Inside the bay red carriage.

The curtains are dotted with red and sapphires, and are ding-dong sounded by the drizzle, but the inside of the car is extremely comfortable, filled with a very pleasant smell of sandalwood, and there is a young and beautiful woman with Zhu Qiluo embroidery tightly hugging her arms. The young man was full of anxiety, she stroked the forehead of the man in her arms, bit her lips, thinking why it was so hot?
During the bumpy road, the son-in-law was in a trance, and felt tired for no reason. This sleep continued like a high fever, and there was no sign of waking up. On the way, the son-in-law said that the soldiers outside could not believe it. People who are all vicious in their hearts, remind themselves that no matter what happens, before they arrive in Guangling, they must pretend to be nonchalant and not disturb the guards outside.But after this day, the son-in-law's condition became more and more serious, and now he was in a state of depression, what should she do as a frail woman?

"Boom!"

There was another muffled thunder, and the flash of lightning illuminated half of the sky.

"Well……"

The princess was pleasantly surprised to find that the young master's eyelids raised in a daze, as if he was struggling, and his face gradually turned rosy, showing signs of waking up at any time.

Chen Ci found that his brain was aching, and a group of personalities that did not belong to him were fighting for space in a corner of his mind. Such a huge memory occupied his brain like a tide. He was extremely uncomfortable and became mentally disturbed for a while. After finally calming down, I felt unbelievable, so I closed my eyes and thought for a long time before sighing slightly.

not dead.

So, I am time-traveling now?

Chen Ci is a veteran who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.Chen Ci retired from the army without fading. On the way home from get off work, I saw a few scumbags molesting female students, and they acted righteously. I thought to myself that I have been a scout for more than ten years, and I am afraid of some punks?But two fists were no match for four hands, he was stabbed more than a dozen times, fell into a pool of blood, and died.

He also couldn't understand why all the punks are so ruthless now?

Ugh.

"Yanqing, are you awake?" Princess Lizhu cried with joy, her eyes were watery, and she met Chen Ci's eyes.

Chen Ci was dumbfounded.

But this embarrassing scene didn't last long, and was broken by the rainstorm outside the bead curtain. He realized that he was lying in this woman's arms. Where had he been so close to a girl in his previous life?She is still such a delicate and unbelievably beautiful girl.He blushed, and sat up calmly. The rain outside the window came suddenly, and it was still falling, but it was much smaller and foggy. Oh...it seemed that he had really traveled through time, and it was not a dream.

After tidying up his memory, Chen Ci couldn't help feeling that it was a blessing in disguise, God treated him well.

The owner of this body is really not small, with the same name and surname as himself, he is actually the only son of the current prime minister. His surname is Chen, his noun, and his courtesy name is Yanqing.

Xin Wuji's wife Chen Shi died of dystocia during childbirth. Perhaps out of guilt or longing for his wife, he put pressure on his son to follow his mother's surname. Otherwise, the original owner of this body should be called Xin Ci... …

In addition, he has another identity, that is, he is the son-in-law who was married to Princess Lizhu by His Majesty the Emperor in the 21st year of Tai'an.

The statement was rather helpless and bewildered.

Chen Ci racked his brains and found that this era does not seem to belong to any period of China's 5000-year history.This country is called Great Liang, and the hawkish ministers in the court habitually call themselves the "Great Liang Empire" with contempt for the surrounding barbarians. In terms of political system, the empire adopts a system similar to the "parallel system of prefectures and states" as an entity. , the prefectural governor's department is the administrative division of "supervision", which divides the whole country into 28 prefectures, with a total of [-] princes. Therefore, the territory of Daliang is also ridiculously large. It seems that in this era of backward technology, this system is It is the only system that is in line with national conditions and can implement both centralization and effective control of the localities.

This is an era of false peace, only the imperial court is still whitewashing the prosperity of the country and the people.

The old emperor was seriously ill, and his health was getting worse day by day. Lying on the sickbed, he couldn't even go to the morning court, but he still didn't announce the appointment of the crown prince.

The nine sons fought for the heir to the heirloom, win over the powerful, and fight each other to the death.

There are many factions in the imperial court, and the political groups of the eagle and pigeons are fighting openly and covertly.

But in the Fourteen States, Wang and Zhou Mu with different surnames overshadowed the sky with one hand, supported the army to stand on their own, listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda, and just waited for an excuse to announce that they would break away from the control of Great Liang and seek independence.

Insurgents everywhere are like mushrooms. Under the instigation of the so-called missionaries, devout believers rise up like moths to the flame every day, fighting for the so-called dignity and freedom.

For example, in the "Peach Blossom Rebellion" in the ninth year of Tai'an, it is said that a scholar named Yuan Pei went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but failed to pass the exam. He raised the banner of rebellion and attracted countless people to join him. Over the years, he has recharged his batteries and became the biggest rebel in the world.The anti-thieves all over the world use Yuan Pei as an example and respect him as "Pei Gong". When the storyteller in the teahouse is drunk and talks about this person, he will always give a thumbs up and comment: "Yuan Pei is also a hero in this world. "

This empire building, from the inside to the outside, is like rotten wood full of moths, full of decay.

Chen Ci looked at the cautious expression of the princess in front of him, and smiled for no reason, but it was a bitter smile, thinking that God really made a big joke on himself, passing through the body of the son of the prime minister and the current son-in-law, what a pity , the current predicament seems to be difficult, and the current statement is like a balance point for the internal stability of the empire.

Too many people want his life.
