Chapter 73 The lurking enemy
A storm is brewing in Zizaicheng.
The biggest feature of Zizai City is that it is very lenient towards people entering the city, without asking about their origin or identity, so there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in the city.
This is also the biggest problem in Zizaicheng.
The biggest characteristic of the Brahma Sect is its secrecy. In just a few days, it is impossible to uproot the Brahma Sect from Zizi City. In fact, the scale of the Brahma Sect in Zizi City has exceeded their imagination. Those who were cleared out of the city
There are indeed a lot of people, but these are superficial people. If we talk about important people, they are only three shopkeepers.
Nightfall!
Zhao Yuan had not seen Xia Zizai for several days, but he got an invitation tonight. Under the leadership of the guards, Zhao Yuan climbed onto the city wall. There was already a small table on the city wall with several dishes of side dishes.
With a jar of wine, the person sitting next to the coffee table is the person who brought him here in the first place.
This person is Qin Yu.
"Young Master Yang, please sit down!"
Qin Yu greeted, "By the way, my surname is Qin Mingyu, and I am the military advisor to King Zi Zai!"
Upon hearing that the other party was a military advisor, Zhao Yuan felt a move in his heart and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Qin!"
The reason for using Mr. Zhao Yuan was that he wanted to get closer to him, and since this person was meeting with him now, he might have other things to do.
After that, he sat opposite him and looked slightly to the left. The entire Lower City of Zizai City was in full view. It was already dark now, and the streets and alleys of Zizai City were all lit up at the moment. However, the streets that were originally relatively lively were
The brothel was completely dark at the moment.
"Come, have a sip of hot wine!"
Qin Yu's voice came.
Zhao Yuan turned around and found that there was a small charcoal stove on the table. There was a copper pot on the charcoal stove. The water in the pot was steaming. A small porcelain bottle was warming it.
Inside the hot water.
As Qin Yu spoke, he reached out to pick up the porcelain bottle in the stove, poured wine for Zhao Yuan, and then poured his own.
Zhao Yuan picked up the wine glass, shook it gently for a moment, and said: "They say luminous cups for grape wine. This wine must use a luminous cup, sorghum wine must use a bronze wine cup, Baicao wine must use an ancient vine cup, and Shaoxing Zhuangyuan Red must be
Use the porcelain cups of the Northern Song Dynasty, the pear blossom wine must use the jade cup, the jade dew wine must use the glass cup, and as for the white wine from outside the pass, Qin Junshi must use this rhino horn cup."
Qin Yu laughed when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Yang to be quite knowledgeable about wine. By the way, I wonder what Mr. Yang thinks of this city of freedom?"
Zhao Yuan held the wine glass and took a shallow breath. The warm wine entered his throat, as if a fire had penetrated deep into his throat, and the coldness on his body seemed to have disappeared.
He slowly put down his wine glass, was silent for a moment, and said: "Zi Zi City? Although it is called Zi Zai City, I believe that any freedom must be freedom under constraints. Unconstrained freedom is indulgence and a hidden danger.
.”
Qin Yu said: "What does Yang Shaoxia mean?"
Zhao Yuandao: "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules! I don't know much about this place, but I don't know if there are any laws to restrict these people in the city, so I dare to speak out. Please forgive me, Mr. Qin!"
Qin Yu laughed and said: "There is nothing to forgive or not to forgive. As the young hero said, although there are some laws in Zizaicheng, I feel that they are not enough. I have also sent people to work hard to formulate them these days. In addition, I heard
As the king said, Young Master Yang is here for the Brahma Sect this time, and we don’t know much about the domestic affairs. If Young Master is willing, how about giving us a detailed explanation?"
Since he was willing to listen, Zhao Yuan was also willing to talk, so he told the matter about the Brahma Sect in detail.
Qin Yu's brows furrowed as he heard this. After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, he said thoughtfully: "So this Brahma Sect has also become a phenomenon?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "Indeed, the Brahma Sect is extremely cunning. It has been using Buddhist temples and Taoist temples as strongholds, and it is extremely careful in its actions. Therefore, by the time it is discovered, the climate has already changed. If you want to destroy it all at once, is it absolutely easy?
My colleagues who are still in the Wulin have already noticed it and will not let it run rampant! I heard that many Brahma followers were driven out of Zizai City in the city yesterday?"
Qin Yu nodded and said, "There are at least a thousand people."
Zhao Yuan then asked: "Are there any casualties?"
Qin Yu said: "There are no casualties."
Zhao Yuan said doubtfully: "There's something wrong with this."
Qin Yu asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yuandao: "In the Central Plains, I have many opportunities to come into contact with the Brahma Sect. Those Brahma Sect members are very loyal to the Brahma Sect. They are completely brainwashed. They are extremely brave when fighting, but once the battle fails, they will never be willing to do so.
When we were prisoners, they all committed suicide by drinking poison. It took us a long time to catch one or two alive! Therefore, my husband said that we drove those Brahma Sect followers to Zizai City without any casualties. I feel like we are the same as
Those Brahma disciples in the past were a little different."
Qin Yu's face became a little solemn and said: "Young Shaoxia means that those who were kicked out by us are not real members of the Brahma Cult?"
Zhao Yuandao: "Maybe it's not fake, but these should be just ordinary people who were bewitched, not Brahma Sect members. If Brahma Sect has been peeking at Zizi City for a long time, there may be deep-hidden Brahma Sect members in this city.
.”
In other words, the Brahma disciples who were driven out were just superficial pretences, just like those who believed in Buddhism but were not Shaolin disciples.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan's expression changed, he grabbed the chopsticks on the table and quickly stabbed Qin Yu.
There was only a soft ding sound, and there was actually a hidden weapon on the chopsticks. The hidden weapon flashed with a faint blue light, and it was obviously quenched with poison.
After Zhao Yuan clamped the concealed weapon, he shook his chopsticks and the concealed weapon was immediately shot back where it came from.
"ah!"
A scream came.
Zhao Yuanteng suddenly stood up, stood in front of Qin Yu, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
The sound came from far away on the city wall. For some reason, the soldiers on the city wall who were supposed to be on duty at night actually gathered into a group and blocked both sides of the city wall. The most important thing is that these people had their weapons unsheathed at this moment, and
The person who screamed was one of them, and he had fallen to the ground at this moment.
"What are you going to do?"
Qin Yu asked.
Zhao Yuan looked unusually calm and said: "They are the real followers of Brahma! It seems that they have already planned to rebel!"
As soon as the welcome came, a sharp whistling sound sounded, and a light of fire suddenly rose from the nearby houses, and then burst into bloom in the air with a snap.
This is simply a signal.
"Kill them!"
The soldiers immediately roared and rushed over.
Zhao Yuan turned his head slightly and said to Qin Yu: "Sir, do you know kung fu?"
When he was next to Qin Yu just now, Zhao Yuan couldn't detect any internal energy in him.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I have always been a civil servant, so how can I know any kung fu?"
Zhao Yuan frowned and said: "Well, Mr. Youluo will stay here, and I will definitely protect you!"
If it were just these soldiers, I could still handle it.
While he was talking, the soldiers had already rushed forward. Zhao Yuan did not dare to stay away from Qin Yu, so he stayed where he was. The battle happened instantly.
The moment the battle broke out on the city wall, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the upper city. Soon there were fighting sounds in many places in the lower city. Fires were lit in some places, and the sound of fighting was even louder at the city gate.
.
Zhao Yuan didn't have time to care about what was happening elsewhere. If he were alone, he could kill without any scruples at this moment. But now there was Qin Yu beside him who didn't know martial arts. He couldn't stay too far away from him. He had to
You have to protect him.
Even so, these soldiers were no match for Zhao Yuan. Almost a moment later, several corpses fell on the ground, almost all of them killed by a single knife.
With Zhao Yuan's current skill, the soldiers are no match for Zhao Yuan.
Seeing Zhao Yuan's bravery, the soldiers began to show timidity and did not attack immediately.
When Zhao Yuan saw it, he grabbed Qin Yu's hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
The most urgent task now is to find Xia Zizai first.
Qin Yu was stunned, and before he could react, he was pulled by Zhao Yuan and jumped off the city wall, and immediately ran towards the courtyard.
At this moment, the upper city was in chaos, with sounds of fighting coming from everywhere, and some people took advantage of the chaos to start setting fires, and the fire quickly spread.
The most important thing is that these soldiers all wear the same uniforms and have the same weapons, so it is difficult to tell whether they are enemies or friends.
But soon Zhao Yuan also discovered something unusual. Some soldiers had a white ribbon wrapped around their wrists. After thinking about it carefully, the soldiers who attacked him earlier also had ribbons wrapped around their arms. In other words, in order to distinguish oneself from the enemy
.
Soon Zhao Yuan confirmed his suspicion again. As soon as the soldiers with ribbons on their wrists saw the two of them, they quickly attacked.
Even though they were very poor in martial arts, it was easy for Zhao Yuan to deal with them, but they also lost a lot of time along the way. When they arrived at the small courtyard in the middle, they were already surrounded by people on three levels inside and three outside. In the middle, a group of soldiers
They were forming a circle, trying their best to protect the person in the middle.
