Chapter 400 Troubled Times(1/2)

From the identification information of the nine rebel armies and their identities, we can tell that this is an ancient time of trouble.

Xia Yanzhen continued to look at the relevant information and found that it was even more chaotic than he expected.

The dynasty that rules this land of China is called Jingchao, and its royal surname is "Ai". It has ruled for more than three hundred years, and is now in a precarious stage.

There are two reasons for this. One is internal worries. I won’t go into details. It can be seen from the nine rebel armies that uprisings continue in various places.

The second reason, and the more important reason, is foreign invasion.

The Jing Dynasty was once very powerful, but after hundreds of years of being self-proclaimed, other countries caught up and opened the country with powerful force.

After many defeats, Jingchao had to pay compensation, cede territory, and demarcate concessions.

After defeating the war externally, the Jing Dynasty's internal oppression became even more severe, making the people miserable and leading to many uprisings.

From the initial scattered scattered things, it gradually spread like wildfire.

Now they are the Nine Rebels. Of course, the outside world calls them the Nine Rebel Kings.

"This is a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society." Xia Yanzhen thought to himself.

According to the information provided by the identity information, the southwest king of Yi Bo Yuntian has just captured Qiu City, which is where Xia Yanzhen is now.

During the siege, Wang Tong, the vanguard, was the first to rush into the city. He was rewarded by Li Yi, the king of the southwest, with the residence of a "big family", the Qu family.

The city was captured at noon.

now it is night.

It was originally a time for Wang Tong and other generals and even the soldiers below to have fun.

But now...

People leave at night.

Xia Yanzhen looked around. The lights around him were extinguished, and the night wind blew into the room.

On the ground, lying on chairs, were five twisted corpses.

One of them is the vanguard general Wang Tong, and the other four are the remaining bodyguards.

Only Xia Yanzhen survived - or in other words, one of the former bodyguards also died, but was replaced by "Xia Shiyi", occupying the magpie's nest.

Wang Tong and his guards were all killed.

There were scattered meals on and under the table in the room.

Xia Yanzhen walked over and checked the bodies of these people, but found no obvious wounds.

The death of these people was horrific, and they seemed to have been brutally tortured during their lifetime.

Without investigating the cause of death of these people, Xia Yanzhen walked out of the house and looked at the sky. There was a bright moon hanging high in the night sky.

The moonlight shines in the courtyard, and some dark blood stains can be faintly seen.

These blood stains were the traces left by Wang Tong and others after they broke into Qu Mansion and killed and looted.

Couldn't completely rinse it off with water.

The exact same thing is happening in many places in Qiu City.

"Terrible troubled times." Xia Yanzhen shook his head.

The Nine Rebel Army is not an army with strict discipline, ideals, plans and even programs.

They are composed of a group of refugees and rioters, and they are very destructive.

After each city was broken, there was burning, killing, and looting. After occupying it for a period of time, some people were left behind, and the large army marched towards the next city with wealth and more refugees and chaos.

What they do is not much different from that of bandits and bandits.

The same is true for the "Loyalty Army" of the Southwest King.

It highlights the fact that if you have wine now, you will be drunk now, and you will live in a dream and die in a drunken state.

It is estimated that only one or two of the nine rebel armies have plans for the future. The leaders or staff may have the idea of ​​"building walls high, hoarding supplies, and becoming king slowly."

Anyway, Southwest King Li Yi is not available here.

His idea was very simple and simple: kill, kill, kill all the way to the palace, cut off the head of the dog emperor, and become the emperor himself.

The people under his command have the same idea as Li Yi, which is to change from being an emperor to being a founding hero.

Wang Tong was not exempt from vulgarity.

Then, tonight, he died inexplicably.

Xia Yan was really too lazy to care about why Wang Tong and others died. He jumped directly to the roof of Qu Mansion and looked at Qiu Cheng.

Many places are still on fire.

The firelight illuminates the night sky.

In the nearby mansions of wealthy families, except for the Qu Mansion, a large number of candles were lit in all other places, and the wild laughter could be faintly heard carried by the night wind.

Xia Yanzhen set his sights on the largest and most luxurious mansion among them.

It used to be the residence of the magistrate of Qiucheng, but now the magistrate is separated.

The head is hung high on the city gate - inside, to frighten the young people.

My body, I don’t know where it has gone.

You may be able to find it in the corpse pits outside the city.

The residence of the county magistrate was naturally occupied by Li Yi, the loyal king of the southwest.

Xia Yan really planned to go find the King of Loyalty to see if he knew what the Goddess was.

Before going, Xia Yanzhen watched the public channels.

Here is Chongxiao’s speech.

[Zhongxiao: "Are we friends from the brigade? We are the Chongxiao team. I bought armor from you and that strange dance. Does anyone remember it? I know about the Full-Time Eye. It is a team composed of Westerners.

There are at least five people with good strength, and several of them are third-level dream apostles as soon as they come in. Shall we find a place to meet?"]

[Tour group: "I'm in Qiucheng, where are you?"]

Xia Yanzhen sent a message back.

After a while, there was a reply from Chongxiao.

"We don't know where Qiucheng is. We are located in Jiangbeicheng, the capital of Yaoding Prefecture in Shuntian Province. As a servant of the government office, we can get a lot of information. Why don't you come over and join us?

There are five of us in total," Chong Xiao said.

The largest administrative division of the Jing Dynasty was the province, followed by prefectures, prefectures below the prefectures, and counties below the prefectures.

As for cities, villages, etc., they are just names, not real administrative divisions.

There is a big gap between XX City and XX City.

The status of the five Chongxiao people as government officials is not low.

Jiangbei City can also be considered a prosperous big city, and it is a place where you can get all kinds of news.

"Well, I'll inquire about the location and come over once the matters at hand are settled." Xia Yanzhen replied, "If you don't wait for me within three days, everyone will go their own way."

There was no response from Zhongxiao for the time being.

After all, there are only ten communication opportunities, and it won’t increase, so don’t talk nonsense on the channel.

The five people in Chongxiao were actually murmuring in their hearts.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The brigade’s answer, why is it just “me” and not us?

They knew that the brigade was a big adventure group with a large number of people, but they didn't know what the specific model was.

I didn’t know that the brigade would be divided into multiple teams and carry out different tasks as small teams.

I didn’t know that the group leader Xia Shiyi was a lone wolf.

This information can be exchanged after meeting in person. The slightly surprised member Zhongxiao did not ask any more questions to avoid wasting the number of speeches.

Just agree on a place to meet.

This mission lasts for half a year. Unless something unexpected happens in the short term, they will not leave Jiangbei City.

On the other side, when the conversation with Zhong Xiao and others ended, Xia Yanzhen had already arrived at the high wall of the magistrate's residence.

Lanterns were lit everywhere in the house, and occasionally servants and maids could be seen looking frightened and walking in a hurry.

The sounds of sensual dogs and horses came from a large room in the house.

There were soldiers guarding the entrance of the mansion and everywhere in the courtyard.

However, judging from their absent-minded looks, they failed to notice Xia Yanzhen standing undisguised on the wall. It was obvious that his strength and quality were limited.

Xia Yanzhen jumped off the high wall and walked towards the big house.

There are many lanterns hanging outside the house, but there are no guards guarding them.

Xia Yanzhen walked over and opened the wooden door.
