Li Hongyun walked out of the inn a little confused and walked onto the streets of Cenqiaoyi.

At this time, Cenqiao Station was already in chaos, and many merchants who had stayed at Cenqiao Station were planning to escape south.

A large number of cars and boats blocked the city gate or ferry of Cenqiaoyi, and everyone's face showed a very anxious mood.

"Give it, give it!"

"Whose goods are these? Nothing valuable is still blocking the road! If people don't come, they will all be thrown into the water!"

"Let's see who dares to touch our master's things!"

"You idiot, how dare you change the world? Beat me!"

Such quarrels were taking place at almost every checkpoint leaving Cenqiaoyi and rushing to the south. Conflicts of one kind or another were breaking out between different merchants, and between merchants and some more powerful gentry.

If the status of both parties is similar, perhaps a compromise can be obtained in exchange for each side taking a step back. But if the status gap between the two sides is large, someone may suffer on the spot.

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, the county magistrate is here!"

After a commotion, it seemed that the county magistrate arrived in his car. After a lot of effort, the key road from the south to the capital was finally cleared. The ships jammed together at the ferry finally showed signs of being cleared.

However, the chaos arising from this riot has obviously added a bit of anxiety to this small town that prospered as the place of Longxing, Taizu of the Qi Dynasty.

Li Hongyun touched his pocket and found that as a green forest person, he had a lot of money, not only a lot of copper coins, but also some trivial silver.

In the Qi Dynasty, silver was still a rare thing, and most people had no chance to use it. But after all, green forest people traveled all over the country and needed to carry a lot of property with them, so it was enough for Li Hongyun to live a comfortable life in Cenqiaoyi for a few days.

Of course, the so-called comfort is only based on the living standards of this era. From a modern perspective, life in ancient times cannot be said to be "comfortable" in any way.

Arriving at the largest restaurant in Cenqiaoyi, Li Hongyun planned to eat while asking people in the world for their opinions on the Jin invasion. He might also be able to get some information about the customs clearance targets.

So far, this dungeon has not provided any hints on the clearance conditions. Li Hongyun guessed that since the four identities were born in different places, their clearance conditions are likely to be different as well.

The different clearance conditions may exist near their birthplaces.

Cenqiaoyi is an important transportation area, with many green forest people traveling from north to south.

Although the Qi Dynasty itself was a dynasty that valued civility over military affairs, the folk spirit was quite strong.

On the one hand, this is because before the Qi Dynasty, the long period of turmoil in the last years of the Liang Dynasty still caused a certain martial culture among the people. For example, the founding ancestor of the Qi Dynasty was himself a martial arts master; on the other hand, because of the Qi Dynasty

Although the court pursued a strategy of emphasizing culture and restraining martial arts, it encouraged people to practice martial arts among the people.

The reason is that during the Qi Dynasty, there were border troubles in the north, and the private market economy was relatively developed, so a large number of private profit-making martial arts organizations appeared. The Qi Dynasty also provided certain support to these organizations because of the external war, so as to maximize the

to offset the threat of foreign invasion.

Li Hongyun had known about these things before, but it was only now that he saw the prosperity of martial arts people in the Qi Dynasty with his own eyes that he felt it more deeply.

"So the Qi Dynasty itself was a pretty twisted dynasty...

"Taizu started his career with a mutiny, so he always regarded preventing other military generals from usurping the throne as the first priority of his rule. Emphasizing civility and suppressing military force became a national policy for hundreds of years, and it has never changed;

“And the foreign aggression caused by emphasizing civility and suppressing military force also gave rise to the problem of redundant troops and the large amount of old coins that were forced to be handed over every year;

"Foreign aggression also gave rise to the Qi Dynasty's support for folk martial arts organizations. Although these folk martial arts organizations played a great role in resisting foreign aggression and left some heroic deeds that can be praised and praised, on the other hand, objectively

It promoted frequent peasant uprisings in various places. For example, there were many martial arts masters among the peasant rebels during this period, and each of them had a nickname...

"It's very much like there was a problem at the beginning, and then I kept thinking of other ways to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. In the end, although the whole house seemed to have barely blocked the hole, when winter came, the hole appeared inexplicably.

There is air leakage from all directions...

“There seems to be no problem anywhere, but there seems to be problems everywhere.”

After officially entering the historical slice of the Qi Dynasty, Li Hongyun would more or less subconsciously compare himself with the Sheng Dynasty.

The result of comparison is that in the middle and late stages, everyone must have the same disease, and everyone has a lot of late-stage diseases.

But the biggest difference is that the Sheng Dynasty was still prosperous at the time of its founding. Taizu Sheng started in the grass and drove out the northern barbarians, and the emperor personally conquered Mobei several times. At least in the early historical slices, the player

We can also feel this state of vitality and all things competing.

But when I arrived in the Qi Dynasty, I always felt that something was missing when the country was first founded, and I was more or less aggrieved.

Soon, the fried chicken ordered by Li Hongyun arrived.

The Qi Dynasty was an era of great development in food culture. Not only stir-frying in iron pots but also methods of eating meat such as shabu-shabu appeared. However, although there were various types of meat at this time, such as pork, beef, mutton, and chicken, the price was still very high.

For example, beef and mutton are still extremely expensive ingredients, and people still mainly eat chicken, duck and pork.

As a man of the world, Li Hongyun carried more financial expenses than those of ordinary people. In addition, he did not consider the future at all. He just enjoyed this slice of history and left. Naturally, he did not need to save money.

After eating two bites of fried chicken and drinking another sip of wine, Li Hongyun was somewhat disappointed.

Compared with some modern roadside restaurants, it is slightly inferior.

Of course, this is mainly due to the ingredients. If you want the food to be delicious, in addition to the cooking techniques, the most important thing is the seasoning.

Many food videos say, "This kind of material is delicious even if it is boiled on shoe soles." This is not an exaggeration.

However, it is a wonderful thing to be able to eat ancient delicacies in a slice of history.

At this time, there were many other green people in the restaurant. After drinking, these people's chat boxes opened up. Even though they were talking loudly, Li Hongyun could vaguely hear the general outline.

"I heard that the Golden Dog went south and has crossed the Yellow River. All the defenders along the way were defeated. Maybe they will reach Cenqiaoyi in a few days."

"How can our Da Qi imperial army be so miserable?"

"The Jin people are invincible if they are less than ten thousand! In fact, it can be seen as early as two years ago that there is indeed a big gap between the armies of our Daqi and the Jin people..."

"These golden dogs are treacherous! I originally regained Yanyun, but unfortunately I lost it to these golden dogs again!"

"If the golden dog goes south, won't it soon hit the capital? By then..."

"Think too much! Looking at ancient and modern times, even if the foreign tribes went south, it was just a robbery. What's more, King Qin's army from all over the country should be coming. By then, hundreds of thousands of troops will definitely make these golden dogs unable to come back.

!”

"But there is still something about His Majesty's Zen position..."

"I'm afraid those traitorous officials in the court are already planning to flee south."

"As long as your Majesty is willing to reuse Prime Minister Li, everything will be fine!"

"If it really comes to the point where the country is overthrown, what are your plans?"

"The only way to serve the country is to die!"

Li Hongyun listened to one thing after another, thinking, maybe this can be regarded as the heart of the earth and the sea in ancient times, right?

However, judging from the reactions of these martial arts people, most people have somewhat divided views at this time.

Some people have deep confidence in the Qi Dynasty. They believe that although the Qi Dynasty has repeatedly failed in external battles, this is not long after the founding of the country. The world is at peace. Even if there is a crisis, they should be able to survive together in the same boat and avoid the collapse of the country.

danger; danger

But other people have already seen the Qi Dynasty's winning rate in foreign wars, and think that this time the Qi Dynasty will never have as much good luck as the previous times.

There are also some people in the world who passionately expressed that they would die with these Jin soldiers, but Li Hongyun knew the subsequent history and had seen the power of the Jin soldiers in the battle of Niuzhuji.

The Jin soldiers at that time were still in decline in combat power after being beaten up by General Han Fuyue, and they almost defeated the Qi Dynasty until they could not find their way to the north.

The current Jin soldiers are all elites who have fought in hundreds of battles since the founding of the country.

If it is just to defend the city, then it is no problem to defend the capital with the national strength of the Qi Dynasty. But what if it is a field battle? At this time, the entire Qi Dynasty, even the most capable Western Army, is no match for the Jin soldiers.

Therefore, what will greet Cenqiaoyi in a few days must be a scene like purgatory on earth.

Sadly, it is difficult for people in the situation to see this clearly, or even if they can see it clearly, it is difficult to do anything other than flee in panic.

After calling the waiter to pay the bill, Li Hongyun left the restaurant and planned to find a blacksmith shop in the city to see if he could buy a good bow with the money he had.

As a green forest man, he carried a simple sword with him, but he knew that using this thing to fight the Jin cavalry would probably be asking for death.

Although the Jin people had not yet built a powerful weapon like the Iron Buddha at this time, ordinary cavalry were enough to push Li Hongyun to the ground and rub him with a simple sword.

If you want to do something in this chaotic situation, you can only rely on your talent in swordsmanship and your own luck.

…

At the same time, Chu Ge was walking into the palace with green tiles and gray walls together with other ministers.

Because the Forbidden City is so famous, most people have the impression that the imperial city is all yellow tiles and red walls. However, the aesthetics of emperors and courtiers in each dynasty are also different.

The imperial palace of the Qi Dynasty had green tiles and gray walls. Although it was less magnificent, it was also more poetic and picturesque.

However, although the imperial palace of the Qi Dynasty was not as large as the Forbidden City, its general structural layout and architectural style were relatively similar.

Chui Gong Hall.

This is where the emperor usually listens to government affairs. At this time, all senior officials gathered together to discuss military affairs.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne at this time was Qi Yingzong who had just succeeded to the throne not long ago.

As for Qi Huizong, Chu Ge didn't see him at all, because the matter of the Zen position had been decided before he entered this historical slice.

When Qi Huizong decided to run away, no one could stop him.

But at this point, he is actually better than his son. At least he knows he can't beat him and can run away, while Qi Yingzong knows he can't beat him and still has to force himself to send him away.

"Your Majesty, under the old system of the country, there were more than 100,000 guards in front of the palace on horseback and three yamen forbidden brigades, but at this time there are only less than half of them left. There are no squads to guard in the imperial city; in the capital, there are few forbidden brigades to guard
