Chapter 1 Jailer Zheng Ze
Mi County, South Korea.
As the sky gradually became late, with the glimmer of light before the sunset, you could still vaguely see the smoke from cooking stoves coming up in the air and merge into the upcoming night.
It was a county town with buildings and forests intertwined. Mi County is located in the Central Plains and has fertile land. It is surrounded by the Sishui River next to it. The people here live a good life. Of course, it is only a good life.
Withdrew his gaze, Zheng Ze tightened the belt around his waist, feeling the fitting feeling of a hard object coming from his right waist, and he slowly exhaled a breath.
However, even if something was stuffed around his waist, he could not see anything unusual when walking with a small movement.
Suddenly, his shoulder was slapped by a thick palm. As soon as Zheng Ze turned around, his round face covered with beard came into his eyes. The person who came was like him, wearing the same light armor. However, the armor was half-open and half-disassembled.
Seeing someone, Zheng Ze put on a smile on his face and said softly: "Uncle Lin?"
The middle-aged man he called Uncle Lin showed a kind smile when he heard this, but his face seemed not suitable to be described as kind, making it difficult for him to express the emotions he wanted to express at this moment.
"Ozawa, why did you run so fast after the value is paid? Now that the new talent for a hundred generations is coming, we need to be more careful in doing things."
Zheng Ze knew that this was the point that the person in front of him gave him, so he just nodded, not saying too much. He said too much and was wrong. He didn't want to reveal his secret because of inappropriate words.
While talking, the two walked side by side towards the county town not far away. Their destinations were in the same direction. In the past, they often returned with each other when they were on duty together.
"By the way, you entered the secret prison a few days ago. When I dragged you out, I was still in a coma. Have you found injuries these days?" Suddenly, Uncle Lin asked. The concern between his eyes was not as if he was false.
Hearing this, Zheng Ze shook his head, "In the secret prison, the witch had long been locked by the crystal cage. Even if there were some strange means, it would be difficult to hurt people's lives." He said slowly, and his words changed, "But it's still a good thing that Uncle Xie Lin discovered it early and provided rescue, otherwise... no one knows what would happen."
At the end of the day, Zheng Ze's eyes flashed with fear, as if he had recalled something terrible.
Seeing this, Uncle Lin chuckled and patted his shoulder, comforting him, "It's fine. When he was in office, he issued strict orders. He did not allow us to approach the secret prison. Of course, it was not aimless. The demon... even if he was powerful, he would not be locked in." He shook his head, "But you have to remember the lesson and not to commit it again. Otherwise, even if you come out safely, you will not be able to escape the punishment in the army."
Zheng Ze nodded. He knew what the words of Uncle Lin were like. However, feeling the closeness in his words, he sighed in his heart.
In fact, Zheng Ze is dead.
When he couldn't help but be curious and entered the secret prison without authorization to see the prisoner's legendary peerless appearance, he was destined to be difficult to come out alive.
At this moment, the one who walked beside Uncle Lin was just an ordinary time traveler. Before that, he was just an ordinary college student Zheng Ze on the blue planet.
Seeing that the house in front of him was already showing its shape and was about to arrive home, Uncle Lin suddenly said, "Xiaoze, it's almost dark, and it's so inconvenient for you to go back alone. Why not go to my house to eat ready-made ones? Last time Xiang'er asked me when you will come again!"
Listening to the words of the strong man beside him, Zheng Ze couldn't help but see a figure that was even more burly than Uncle Lin. He took a deep breath and knew that this man was willing to evolve the two from a colleague's relationship to a father-in-law and son-in-law. However, this blessing would probably be difficult for him to endure.
I immediately responded to a few casual words, then turned my head and walked towards my own direction.
Looking at Zheng Ze's back home, Uncle Lin stood there for a long time, sighed happily, shook his head and left in the other direction.
There is no city wall in Mi County, but many houses are built together, except for residences, some farms, government offices, and barracks, which are mixed in, and are very messy.
On the outside of the residence group, his house was made of some wood and soil blocks, and it took up not much area and was just suitable for him to live alone. If the family had another population, it would appear a bit crowded.
After checking that the door lock was not passive, Zheng Ze sat quietly at the table beside the bed after eating the thick cakes with raw water.
This table was built from stone, and the tabletop was not flat. At this moment, Zheng Ze placed a wooden doll on his left and a stack of letters on his right.
First, he looked at the pile of letters, all of which were carved on wooden pieces. These things were sent by his predecessor's brother.
If I remember correctly, this predecessor is exactly sixteen years old this year. In his memory, he has no impression of his parents. He has grown up with his brother since he was a child, and he was also taking care of him. Until then when he was nine years old, his brother suddenly told him that he wanted to go to the south to do business, and then he completely disappeared in front of him.
After that, the reason why Zheng Ze was able to confirm that his brother was still alive was the letters in front of him. The time intervals of these wood chips brought by the person were uncertain, sometimes two months, sometimes three months, and the longest time was half a year.
The people who come here are different every time. In addition to these wood chips, there is also some silver. Not much, but with Zheng Ze's own salary, it is enough to make him much better than ordinary people.
It is worth mentioning that the military affairs he is now in charge were also sought in accordance with the instructions of his brother's letter.
In these letters, except for the initial instructing Zheng Ze to take good care of himself, the latter taught him how to deal with the world. According to his instructions, the predecessor would secretly give him a sum of money every month, not much, but every month.
This is probably why he was only scolded and not punished after being found secretly in prison last time.
But unfortunately, the hundred-year-old was transferred two days ago, and the current Shangguan was promoted from his former deputy general.
My thoughts returned to the letter slip on the table. At the end, on the wood chips I sent me the last time, I didn’t mention any precautions for life. Instead, he said that he was already sixteen and was not young anymore, and it was time to start a family. This year, he should find a good girl, not seeking beauty but seeking virtuousness.
At the end, it is also mentioned that if someone is found, here is a message to the messenger and he will prepare a betrothal fee.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Ze did not follow his original idea to think about why this brother looked good, so why didn't he take him to live a good life?
According to his current perception, judging from his cheap brother's behavior, he is mostly not doing serious business. However, judging from the current situation, he is not suitable to contact people with his original close relatives. Although it has been several days of adaptation, and although the two brothers have not seen each other for several years.
He still kept a distance from this mysterious "brother".
After reading the contents on the wood chips again, confirming that all the important contents above were remembered, Zheng Ze threw them all into the brazier, watching the flames licking the wood chips and burning them.
There is nothing else to do. I mentioned it on the wooden piece I originally sent, and it will be destroyed after reading it. However, the original Zheng Ze was reluctant to let it go.
It is really not safe to put these things in such a simple home once you are noticed by people with ulterior motives.
Then, Zheng Ze placed his eyes on the wooden doll on the other side and reached out to pick it up. The weight of the hand was very light, so light that it was made of cotton. However, the touch from his hand was very strange, as cold as some kind of metal. In addition, Zheng Ze also found it very hard.
He kept tucking this thing around his waist and didn't let anyone find it.
Before coming to this world, he did nothing and was sitting in front of the computer watching a drama, suddenly the screen went dark and the puppet appeared on the screen.
The black background and the strange light almost scared Zheng Ze to death. At that time, he felt that the puppet was staring at him like a ghost, and then when his eyes were blurred, he felt a severe pain in his chest. He looked at him and saw a sword in his heart, which made him feel cold.
Then he lay on the ground, and the scenes around him changed, and the damp and dark air poured into his chest. The most noticeable thing was the huge square blue crystal in the center of the tightly sealed body... and the figure in the crystal, and the beautiful face had a strange smile.
What's even more strange is that for some reason he was holding this puppet in his hand, and the blood he had flowed out was pulled and rushed towards it, and then disappeared from it.
The sword inserted into his chest actually pulled out himself and fell to him.
With that crisp sound, he fell into a coma.
When he woke up, he had been sent home. There was no trace of being cold, but he was extremely weak.
Zheng Ze was extremely convinced that this thing was definitely related to his time travel. At this moment, his attention was on the puppet.
With the firelight beside me, the four words "Ten Taw Coins" flowed on the puppet.
The day before yesterday, it was still "one or two coins". After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Ze placed the Korean coins he had saved for a long time next to the puppet, and saw the puppet swallow all the money.
Then all his weakness disappeared. In the past two days, he felt that he was energetic. He obviously felt the effect of being strengthened. His physical quality was almost at an average level in the army.
Until now, he has not figured out what this weird thing is, but he knows very well that this thing is definitely the foundation for his life in this world!
Without it, this world is really too dangerous.
However, he was very complicated about this dangerous world. There were seven countries here, but it was not the Warring States Period he had studied in history books. There were hundreds of schools of thought, but the way of controversy seemed to be based on the sword in his hand.
These are not important. At the glance before he unconscious, he saw the person locked in the blue crystal, the person who was so beautiful that he was insignificant...
"Yan Lingji..." Zheng Ze murmured to himself.
Here, it is clearly the bright moon in the Qin Dynasty and the nine songs of the sky.
