Humane Yongchang

Chapter 426
In Chen County, there is Yu Yu Restaurant.

Jing Kean sat on the third floor facing the street, slowly breaking the dry and hard steamed cake into the steaming broth, and after the steamed cake absorbed the broth, he picked it up with chopsticks and put it in his mouth inside.

The black energy on his body is full of wind and dust, and the saber lying on the food table still exudes a strong bloody smell, but he just ended a large-scale monster hunting operation not long ago. I came back to Chen County for some reason while walking, so I simply came here to offer sacrifices to the Wu Zang Temple.

I don't know if it's because this is the place where Chen Sheng invited him to drink for the first time, or because it was here that Chen Sheng invited him to join the Han Dynasty and form the Demon Slayer Division.

The mediocre food here, for some reason, often appeared in his mind, he ate it no less than a hundred times, but he still couldn't get enough.

This time alone, as soon as he ate the steamed cakes that had absorbed enough broth, he always felt that something was missing, not as delicious as before.

But the big bowl of steamed cakes in broth was almost bottomed out, and he couldn't understand what was wrong with it, but the taste was wrong anyway!

He smacked his lips and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and shook his head, secretly said: "Maybe it's because the king is not here..."

He raised his eyes, and his eyes went out of the restaurant, and fell on the busy long street at noon.

Last year, the center of the Han Dynasty moved eastward, and most of the people in Chen County went to Jinling with the eastward convoy.

But Chen County was not defeated because of this. The vacated houses and fields attracted a large number of poor people from the surrounding villages and towns of Chen County to settle in the city, and easily completed the class leap that would have taken several generations of hard work to complete.

Of course, this is naturally inseparable from the vigorous promotion of the new Chen County Government.

After all, this place is the hometown of our king, who would dare to let Chen County lose?

If one day, the king of his family passed by Chen County and went to the city to rest on a whim, but saw a dilapidated and dilapidated county town, how many black hats would it affect?

In the blink of an eye, for more than a year, Chen County has already returned to its former bustle and bustle. At least with the naked eye, it is absolutely impossible to see that most of the population in this city has migrated...

However, perhaps because of preconceived opinions, no matter how Jing Ke looked at it, he felt that the people who came and went on the long street lost the calm and tough spirit they had before moving the capital.

That's right, without the king, can Chen County still be the old Chen County?

perhaps.

maybe not...

Jing Ke withdrew his gaze regretfully, thinking that maybe there will be one less obsession in the future.

"Guest officer, your chicken noodles!"

At the right time, the shopkeeper with gray beard and hair brought up a large bowl of egg noodles, and served them in front of Jing Ke's food table with a big smile on his face.

Jing Ke thanked him and picked up his chopsticks to eat noodles.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper who delivered the egg noodles did not leave, but stood aside with a tray and a smile on his face.

Seeing this, many diners sitting around silently put down their chopsticks.

Jing Ke raised his hand and pressed it without looking back, looked at this ordinary shopkeeper with great interest, and asked tentatively: "A person from the Special Operations Bureau?"

The shopkeeper raised his hand and said, "The boss has good eyesight!"

Jing Ke nodded, waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first."

All the diners got up together after hearing the words, and filed down the third floor.

After the footsteps coming down the stairs gradually stopped, Jing Ke lowered his voice and said softly: "But the king has an order?"

The shopkeeper quickly shook his head: "Reporting to the Chief Manager, there is no Wang Ling, the villain is meeting the Chief Manager privately."

Hearing this, Jing Ke looked at the store again in surprise for a long time, and suddenly said, "Aren't you from the special warfare bureau?"

The innkeeper took out a cast iron token from his bosom, and presented it to Jing Ke with both hands: "Please inspect it!"

Jing Ke took the cast iron token, and after careful inspection, it was indeed a token from the Special Operations Bureau, and the level was not low.

But immediately, he returned the token to the shopkeeper: "You should take out your real token."

The storekeeper hesitated to put away the token, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Master, this is against the rules..."

Jing Ke pondered for a while, and said: "Since you came to see me privately, it means that there are important matters that I should not interfere with. I must first confirm your identity before I can decide whether to listen to what you have to say."

Strictly speaking, the demon slaying division is also one of the hidden fronts of the big man, and has many official contacts with the special warfare bureau on weekdays.

Therefore, he knew that besides the obvious secret service agency of the Special Warfare Bureau, Dahan also had a deeper hidden front-Qianjilou.

However, he only knew the general level of Qianji Tower and the corresponding token style, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

The honest-faced shopkeeper thought for a hundred breaths before taking out a one-finger-long meat cutting knife from his waist and handing it to Jing Ke with both hands: "Please check it out."

The current meat cooking methods in Kyushu are still mainly grilled and boiled, and these two cooking methods need to be cut with a knife when eating. Therefore, most men today carry such a versatile meat cutting knife with them. People will also decorate it with pearls, jade, gold and silver. Even poor people who can't afford meat will often find ways to get a handful and wear it on their bodies to show that they can afford it.

Jing Ke took the butcher's knife, and saw a naive little brain tiger engraved on one side of the butcher's knife, and the word "Jiazi" was engraved on the other side.

He flipped through the meat cutting knife again in amazement, then glanced at the inconspicuous and honest shopkeeper in front of him, stood up and handed the meat cutting knife back to the shopkeeper with both hands, and said politely: "I never thought it was the tiger envoy in person. I'm sorry, return to Haihan!"

When he spoke, he murmured to himself: "No wonder you dare to break the rules and come to see me..."

In terms of rank, this tiger envoy's status in the hidden front of the big man is only one level lower than him.

The shopkeeper put away the butcher knife, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "The Chief Manager is too polite, I really have no other choice, otherwise the villain would not dare to disturb the Chief Manager!"

Jing Ke didn't take his diploma, but still politely asked him to sit down: "The tiger envoy is very polite, please sit down and discuss in detail!"

Shopkeeper: "Thank you, Manager!"

The two sat down relative to each other, Jing Ke stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Is there anything a certain family can help, even if the tiger envoy speaks bluntly, as long as it is beneficial to my big man, the certain family will have nothing to say!"

The shopkeeper bowed his hand: "The villain will thank the chief manager first... The villain's violation of the building regulations to meet the chief manager directly is related to a task we are currently performing. Half a month ago, a group of suspicious people entered Chen County, secretly sneaked into the former residence of the King and the palace of the King of Han many times, although we don’t know what they are looking for, but we have reason to believe that this group of people has ulterior motives and intends to harm the King!”

"Later, it was verified by many parties that this group of people is a group of Taoists who are active in the land of Heluo."

"Three days ago, Shangfeng instructed the villain to close the net. However, during the monitoring process, the subordinates of the villain learned that another leader of this group will enter the city in the near future, so they stopped collecting the net until the big fish entered the net. Catch them all."

"However, the villain just received the news that the group of thieves and thieves urgently moved their hiding place before noon, and there were signs of fleeing out of the city. It was a surprise, and the big fish was missed, and they did not dare to use the garrison right now, villain After much deliberation, the only option is to take the risk and ask the chief executive to take action and secretly capture him..."

Jing Ke blushed, and said in shame: "But a certain family entered the city and alarmed that gang of thieves?"

The shopkeeper replied with great insight: "The villain is guilty of this matter. It is the villain who failed to foresee the arrival of the chief executive and informed in advance, which led to a mistake in the operation of closing the network..."

"Tiger envoys don't have to cover up for a certain family. This matter is indeed the fault of a certain family. If the follow-up operation of closing the network is lost due to a certain family's fault, I am willing to bear it on my shoulders!"

After Jing Ke heard this, his old face was so red that he couldn't even lift his head... How could he not hear that they were clearly watching them all the way back to Jinling, but they were sure that they would not pass through Chen County, so they didn't inform them in advance of?

The shopkeeper quickly said: "It's too early to say too much, as long as we can arrest these Taoist family members silently and prevent Da Yu from escaping from the law, it will not be considered a flaw!"

Jing Ke didn't say any more, just grabbed his sword and stood up: "It's not too late, where is the thief hiding, please send someone to lead the way!"

……

Changning Fang, in a remote residential house.

A majestic man with long hands and feet and wearing a feather coat knelt in front of an apricot-yellow dharma altar, chanted verbally for a long time, then squeezed his sword fingers, pointed at a basin of clear water on the dharma altar, and softly drank: : "Duh!"

The billowing radiance of clear rhyme poured into the clear water from his sword finger like a spring, and the clear water also burst into dazzling brilliance, like a bronze mirror under the scorching sun.

Not long after, I heard an old and stern voice coming from the clear water: "What's the matter!"

The man in feather clothes quickly kowtowed and said: "Qi Zuo God, the king of Han killed the monster's minions, and Wu Mo Qingke suddenly entered the city at noon. Maybe there is a change in my way's plan. Do you want to postpone the grand ceremony?"

Qingshui was silent for a few breaths, and when he spoke again, his tone became more serious: "What are you panicking about! Qing Ke and a group of minions just beheaded a monster in Yingchuan a few days ago. Entering Chen County is just a way to go back to Jinling. landed!"

Hearing this, the man in feather clothes made up his mind: "Disciple is terrified, please forgive me!"

"That's it!"

Qingshui's voice softened a bit: "How are you preparing for the ceremony?"

In order to save his impression, the man in the feather coat hastily replied: "I have successfully connected with the remaining aura in the palace of the King of Han with the hair and skin of the King of Han. We only need to wait for the divine man to come, and then we can start the grand ceremony."

Qing Shui said faintly: "Steady your ground, this opportunity is only once, if you miss it, it won't come again..."

The man in feather clothes kowtowed again and said, "Disciple must obey the decree of God and Man!"

The clear light in the water basin gradually dissipated, and the man in the feather coat fell to the ground, breathing profusely with sweat.

next second.

The rubble on the roof was shattered, and Jing Ke fell into it with his sword in his hand. With his right foot, there was a shrill sound of breaking through the air, and with one kick, he knocked the man in feather clothes who jumped up to the ground, and followed closely behind him with his bright sword. above the throat.

Hearing the commotion in the hall, dozens of men in messy clothes rushed in panickedly with magic swords in their hands, but before they could surround Jing Ke, dozens of strong figures in black clothes smashed into the roof And the wall rushed in.

In an instant, the iron locks and swords flew together, and the dharma swords in the hands of a group of men with messy clothes just bloomed brilliantly, when they were knocked to the ground by these men in black clothes.

Outside the house, there are even more slight and dense footsteps, layer upon layer, rushing towards this house...

Jing Ke waited in a circle, and after confirming that nothing was missed, he turned his head, looked down at the man in feather clothes with a face full of despair on the ground, and asked earnestly, "The person who spoke just now, is the old man Huangshi?"

The man in feather clothes was sweating like rain and shaking like chaff, but he still managed to laugh loudly and said: "I heard the truth in the morning, and I will die in the evening!"

Jing Ke frowned, stepped on his chest and wanted to chop off his hands and feet with his sword.

At this moment, the shopkeeper wearing a black iron ghost mask and dressed in black quickly stepped in, and shouted from a distance: "Sir, please slow down!"

The sharp long sword was fixed on the right arm of the man in feather clothes, Jing Ke turned his head and gave the shopkeeper a puzzled look.

The shopkeeper quickly said: "The villain has criminals who are good at torture, please give these culprits to the villain, and the villain will take care of them, and they will know everything and say everything!"

While he was speaking, a large number of masked men in black like him poured into the room, familiarly removing the limbs and joints of all the men in the room one by one, breaking the tendons of the hands and feet, and destroying the dantian...

Jing Ke opened his mouth, but closed it again... It is true that he does not have anyone who is good at torture.

He put his sword back into its sheath, and let the shopkeeper take over the feathered man at his feet: "Tiger Messenger, these miscellaneous things are arranged in the Palace of the Han Dynasty, please order someone to check the entire Palace of the Han Dynasty immediately, and don't miss anything!"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper turned around and recruited a person, and whispered something in his ear.

That person left in a hurry...

Not long after, a group of men in black escorted a group of men in miscellaneous clothes who were tightly trapped by iron chains, and left quickly.

Jing Ke pulled the shopkeeper to the side, and said in a solemn voice, "How long will it take for the fastest way to contact Jinling in the hands of the tiger envoy?"

The shopkeeper didn't ask him what he wanted to do, and replied directly: "Send the letter immediately, and you can go to Jinling before tomorrow!"

Jing Ke took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Then immediately go up to the king, saying that the old man Huang Shi, a powerful Taoist, wants to harm the king. To be safe, it is best to ask the saints to help him!"

The shopkeeper looked around, pointed to the overturned copper basin and asked, "What the chief manager said, but this big fish? Does the chief manager know this person?"

"What kind of big fish is this? It's clearly a Kun of the Northern Darkness!"

Jing Ke smiled wryly and said in a low voice: "Although there are many old masters in the world, the only one who can be called a god-man is Huang Shigong, the god-man of Xiapi. There are mistakes, if you are really told to fish that old monster into the city, there may be a lot of trouble, you and I are small, but if it endangers the king, I will be in danger!"

The shopkeeper was startled, the hairs on the back of his head stood up, he nodded without thinking, and walked out in three steps at a time: "The villain is going to pass the book."

Jing Ke stood in the hall, waited around, and said to himself: "I hope that I will never come back..."

He walked out: "Follow me to Han Palace!"

All the demon-slaying envoys in black clothes responded in unison. "Here!"

　Last night, Calvin wrote a lot of rubbish, and his mentality was a little broken, so he fell asleep for a while, got up at 4 o'clock in the morning and re-wrote... I am very sorry for the night, gentlemen.
