Chapter 5 Looking at the Qi to distinguish right from wrong
The barbarian imperial city, Tuotian City.
Botai was discussing with the barbarian ministers in front of the barbarian emperor Jinwu in the barbarian royal court. The matter they were discussing was the previous strange phenomenon that appeared in Daqi.
"Daqi showed a strange phenomenon, which is suspected to be the arrival of a new saint. Back then, our barbarians had a chance to seize Da Qi, but when Da Qi Kong Sheng came out, they completely destroyed our barbarian saints. The vitality of our barbarians was greatly damaged. For thousands of years,
, the vitality will be restored. Now, our barbarians have the wise man Botai to strategize, and the barbarian saints will open up new territories and sweep across Da Qi. However, the new saints of Da Qi will definitely be a serious problem for our barbarians!" Jinwu said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry so much. Our clan's plans have been well arranged in the court and the countryside of Da Qi. News will come back in the near future. I suspect that this is Da Qi's deliberate disparity to prevent our barbarians from using troops against Da Qi. Based on what I have done before,
With this strategy, the Du family army in Luofu Mountain has suffered heavy losses and all their elites have been lost. It is time for our tribe to take the opportunity to pull out the nail in Luofu Mountain. Once the nail in Luofu Mountain is pulled out, our barbarians will control the people who entered Daqi.
Gate." As a great wise man of the barbarians, Botai was naturally very aware of the strategic position of Luofu Mountain in the barbarian invasion of Qi.
"Wise man, our barbarians have finally recovered their strength. It is better to be cautious in everything. In the recent wars, our barbarians have suffered a lot of damage. As for Da Qi, only the Chiyang Guards and Du Family Army of Sichuan Prefecture have been damaged. Once Da Qi comes from elsewhere
Calling in elite troops, all our previous expenditures will be in vain." Barbarian Emperor Jinwu said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, you don't understand the temperament of the people of Daqi very well. The people of Daqi have been at peace for too long, and they have forgotten the pain of war. They are good at intrigues and scheming with each other. Even if foreigners are watching eagerly, they
Still pursuing his own interests, he did not care about the collapse of the Da Qi edifice. The commander of the Chiyang Guards, Du Changgeng, was a pure warrior who did not know how to manage connections and had long been hated by the Da Qi civil servants. The Da Qi civil servants controlled the government and relied on nepotism.
This was the consistent style of Da Qi civil servants to exclude dissidents. They had long harbored a grudge against Du Changgeng, who had always been tough and unyielding. If this were not the case, and Du Changgeng had fought hard at Luofu Mountain, why didn't the Da Qi court dispatch any troops to help?
"Botai has a clear grasp of all the information in Daqi through the intelligence network he has set up over the years.
Botai's intelligence network also extended its claws to the Chiyang Guards of Sichuan this time. The appearance of the barbarians is very different from that of the Daqi people. It is naturally very difficult to blend into Daqi. However, by invading the borders of Daqi, the barbarians
They burned, killed, and plundered, taking away a large number of women, children, and children. When they grew up, these children became slaves of the barbarians. A group of them were brainwashed by Botai's men from an early age and considered thieves as their fathers, and became die-hard loyalists of the barbarians.
The spies who infiltrated Daqi are naturally slaves who were brainwashed by Botai's intelligence organization. They were civilians kidnapped from Daqi. Naturally, they look exactly the same as Daqi people. In addition, Botai's intelligence organization
These people are specially trained in their behavior, words and deeds. After arriving in the Daqi Kingdom, they become even more Daqi than the Daqi people. Most people can't tell the difference at all.
Daqi's horoscope showed a strange phenomenon, indicating that a new saint had arrived, but no one knew where the new saint came. After all, the horoscope appeared for a short time and disappeared before there was time to calculate it. Moreover, this kind of great luck
It's a secret from heaven, and ordinary warlocks don't dare to measure it, because once they calculate it, it will be counterattacked by the secret of heaven. If you are not careful, your life will be lost.
After three men dressed as merchants arrived at Chiyangwei, they delivered the goods to the cargo yard and then moved around separately in Chiyangwei.
Du Xuan has been standing at the Du family's martial arts training ground for more than twenty days, perfecting the Du family's physical training techniques and reaching the stage of strength training. In the next period of time, Du Changgeng is going to let Du Xuan practice a Du family martial arts technique.
.At the same time, Du Xuan began to prepare for rushing to the front line.
"Lao San, I am going to let you take charge of the defense and military garrison of the first fort. You can choose a few veterans from my escort to help you." Du Changgeng said.
"Father, can I use this period of time to train a few people by myself?" Du Xuan asked.
"Lao San, the veterans in my escort are all elites who have fought bloody battles with me for several years. With them here, nothing in the military fort can be a problem for you. You can focus more on improving your martial arts.
Above." Du Changgeng was a little worried that Du Xuan had a good eye but a weak hand.
"If that's the case, then why don't you just send someone down? I'll just practice hard at home." Du Xuan said.
Du Changgeng unexpectedly raised his head and took a good look at the third son, and seemed to understand Du Xuan's intention: "Your second brother has just recruited a group of new soldiers. You go and select them yourself. Use this period of time to practice hard and achieve whatever level you can."
It's up to you." Du Changgeng said.
Du Xuan immediately left Du's house excitedly and rushed to the military training ground located east of Chiyang Acropolis.
Not long after leaving Du Fu, he met his classmate Yan Jianbing.
"Brother Du, I heard that you are also preparing to go to the front line?" This is not a military secret. There are not many people in Chiyang Guard who don't know it. It is normal for Yan Jianbing to know.
"Yes, the front line is critical, and I, the children of the Du family, must rush to the front line." Du Xuan nodded.
"Who doesn't know whether your brother Du is capable of literature or martial arts? You haven't reached a bachelor's degree in Confucianism and Taoism, so you just went to the battlefield. What's the use?" Yan Jianbing sighed.
"When the country is in trouble, every man has a responsibility. As a descendant of the Du family, how can I hide behind and enjoy myself?" Du Xuan was in a hurry to go to the martial arts field to recruit troops, and after a few perfunctory words he wanted to leave.
Seeing that Du Xuan could not be persuaded to return, Yan Jianbing shook his head helplessly and left with Du Xuan.
Du Xuan and Yan Jianbing did not notice a business man sitting in the wine shop nearby. This man seemed to be enjoying the wine alone in the wine shop, but his ears twitched slightly from time to time.
All the conversations fell into my ears.
When Du Xuan was about to leave, he casually glanced at the wine shop, which made the man enjoying the wine alone tremble slightly for no reason.
Originally, Du Xuan was about to leave in a hurry, but after just one glance, he hurriedly stopped. At that glance, Du Xuan saw something he had never seen before. He actually saw the man's head in the wine shop.
There was a strange aura floating on it, the color was gray-white with a hint of dark red. Du Xuan looked at the man's face again, and felt that this man was definitely not a kind person. Du Xuan was no different from ordinary people, he practiced Buddhist visualization
Du Xuan has mastered the art of sage visualization, and can tell what is good and evil by just looking at a person's face. Du Xuan observes the person's aura, and then looks at the person's appearance, and the good and evil are still clear.
In order to confirm his conjecture, Du Xuan looked at other people in the wine shop and found that ordinary civilians have pure white and yellow auras, while rich people have plump auras, and people with a certain status have clear and strange auras, all of which are consistent with this
People are different.
Du Xuan simply stopped going to the martial arts arena for the time being, and turned around and walked towards the wine shop. Several people in the wine shop recognized Du Xuan.
"Third Young Master."
"Third Young Master."
…
The shopkeeper of the wine shop hurriedly came to greet him: "Third Young Master, sit over here."
"No need. I have a friend drinking in your shop. I'll go say hello to him. You can go about your business." Du Xuan waved his hand.
The shopkeeper quickly stepped aside and said, "Then I won't disturb the Third Young Master."
The man who was targeted by Du Xuan was slightly panicked at first, but soon calmed down. He did not believe that Du Xuan had seen through his identity. They already had information about the third son of the Du family before they arrived.
How could a weak scholar see through his identity?
"Brother, may I ask your surname? Where are you from? Why do you come to Chiyang Guard?" Du Xuan walked to the man's side and sat down on the bench.
"Reporting to Third Young Master, I am from Dongzhen, my name is Li Huiping. I have brought over some Dongzhen's unique Sifang Malangrass to make a small profit." Li Huiping's accent is a genuine Dongzhen accent, and the content of what he said is not the same at all.
Poor. Sifang Malan is a medicinal herb that is hard to find elsewhere, but it is abundant in Dongzhen. Therefore, many people in Dongzhen collect Sifang Malan and sell it to other places.
"I have been to Dongzhen. There is a wine shop in Dongzhen that is very famous for its iron plate copper goose. After eating it once, I will remember the taste. It is really nostalgic." Du Xuan said with deep aftertaste.
Li Huiping glanced at Du Xuan and thought to himself that the Du family is really like a tiger with no son. Although the third son of the Du family does not practice Du family martial arts, he is very powerful. If he hadn't been lurking in Dongzhen for a long time, he would really have
Maybe he was deceived by Du Xuan. There was no restaurant in Dongzhen that had the dish of Iron Plate Copper Goose, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "That's strange. There are many restaurants in Dongzhen, big and small. I basically
I’ve been there before, but I’ve never heard of the dish of iron plate copper goose. If it’s as delicious as Third Young Master said, there’s no reason for me not to know about it.”
"Ah, really? Did I remember it wrong? It shouldn't be? Oh, what a pity, Brother Yan left just now. I remember that time I tasted the iron plate and copper goose, and he was also there. If he were here, he should
I remember where I tasted it. Brother Li, I'm not lying to you, if you taste that iron plate copper goose dish, you will definitely have endless aftertaste." Du Xuan said.
"Really? If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely taste it." Li Huiping said.
"Brother Li, you should have been to many places when you were doing business. Have you ever dealt with such people?" Du Xuan asked.
Li Huiping's brows trembled slightly: "What kind of person?"
"I heard that when the barbarians invaded Daqi, they often burned, killed, and plundered. They took some of the women, children, and young children of Daqi abducted to barbarian lands. They would select a group of young people who were quick-minded and considered thieves as their fathers, and train them to become
They will conduct detailed operations and then send them to Daqi to spy on intelligence. It is said that there are a large number of barbarian activities in various places. Brother Li, as a businessman, you should have dealt with such people, right?" Du Xuan asked.
"I do business everywhere and come into contact with a lot of people. There may be some craftsmen among them, but I am just an ordinary businessman. The barbarian craftsmen are extremely cunning. How can I tell them apart?" Li Huiping said.
"Brother Li, I'll teach you a trick, and I'll make sure you can see it at a glance in the future." Du Xuan leaned over and whispered.
Li Huiping did not suspect that there was a lie and came over to listen. However, Du Xuan grabbed him.
"For someone like Brother Li who likes to act alone and ask around for information, he must be meticulous." Du Xuan mentioned Li Huiping and left.
Li Huiping did not expect that Du Xuan was capable of martial arts, but was suddenly restrained by Du Xuan, without even a chance to resist.
