Dominate Marvel

Chapter 11 Xishan Tower

The history of Zhuxia China follows the scholars. Because books are the carrier of knowledge, and scholars who have mastered knowledge are naturally the group that controls the situation on this land. As the dynasties changed, the status of scholars became higher and higher, but the moral integrity of scholars became lower and lower.

In the Ming Dynasty, the social status of scholars reached its peak. But the overall integrity has fallen below the level.

When the Song Dynasty fell, 100,000 people crossed the sea to die. When the Ming Dynasty fell, there were very few such people.

The water is too cold and the scalp is itchy. How ironic is this?

In this dynasty, they had a high level that could influence the succession of the emperor, and their social status reached the pinnacle of all dynasties. However, when the country was in crisis, they failed to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities, and instead worked hard to dig up the country's roots.

The Ming Dynasty was destroyed and Han'er became slaves. In Ying Yi's opinion, at least 70% of the sins must fall on the heads of these scholars.

Sun Xiucai was a scholar and had great fame. Although he was just a scholar and his family was not powerful and wealthy, he still had status in Ye County and Yuzhou. He was a member of the scholar class and could enjoy status and treatment that ordinary people could not enjoy.

Ying Yi was worried that Sun Xiucai would not be able to enter because Ye County closed the city gate early. But Er Niu's words made Ying Yi understand. This is not the era of the explosion of knowledge a few hundred years from now. Scholars of this era cannot look at it from the perspective of later times.

"What should I do, Brother Ying?"

Erniu scratched his head and ears. Sun Xiucai could get in, but they couldn't. Is it a forced break-in? This is impossible.

"Walk."

The two of them left far away. Ying Yi looked at the sky and said, "It's getting dark soon. Let's go in after dark."

Er Niu is ignorant.

The setting sun quickly fell over the Western Mountains, and the sky quickly dimmed. At some point, lights were lit on top of the city. Erniu and Ying Yi squatted under a tree, looking around from time to time. Erniu shivered coldly, huddled up with his arms folded.

Ying Yi stood up: "Let's go into the city."

Er Niu followed Ying Yi blankly, taking advantage of the night, avoiding the sight of the top of the city, and quietly reached the bottom of the city.

Ye County is not a big city. The city wall is not high, only more than ten feet, three or four meters. This height is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but it is not an obstacle to Ying Yi.

"Here, bite."

Ying Yi handed Er Niu a wooden stick.

Er Niu was at a loss, but he did whatever Ying Yi said and bit the stick in one bite.

Ying Yi said again: "Hush, don't shout."

Before Erniu could think about it, he felt like he was flying in the clouds and mist, and a huge force lifted him up. He flew up to the city wall, staggering and almost falling down. He was so frightened that he wanted to scream, but the stick in his mouth took effect.

Ying Yi grabbed Er Niu's neck with one hand, supported his butt with the other hand and pushed up, easily pushing Er Niu's more than 100 kilogram body up the city wall. Then he pushed hard on the ground and jumped up.

"Walk."

Ying Yi picked up the two oxen and jumped from the city wall into the city.

In a dark alley, Erniu finally came to his senses and slapped his chest hard several times: "I was scared to death! Brother Ying, just say something and my soul will fly away."

Ying Yi ignored him and stuck his head out of the alley to look on both sides: "Er Niu, have you been to Ye County before?"

Erniu said: "I've been here a few times."

Ying Yi nodded: "Do you know where Xishan Tower is?"

"Xishan Restaurant?" Erniu scratched his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "It's the largest restaurant in Ye County. I've been selling wild animals with Brother Zhang before, and the price is the best there. It's on the street, on the left. "

When Ying Yi heard Er Niu talking about Brother Zhang, he was silent for a moment, and felt a little dumbfounded: "On the street, on the left?"

"yes."

Ying Yi slapped Er Niu on the head: "Which street?"

"The street entering the city." Erniu was confused and didn't know why Ying Yi slapped him.

Ying Yi sighed inwardly: "Then let's go."

He also warned: "Keep your eyes open and stay away."

Ye County must put some effort into guarding against stray thieves. Not to mention watertight, it is impossible to be watertight, but there are definitely curfews and night patrols.

Ying Yi made some calculations in his mind and found that the place he came in was not far from the city's main road. But calculations are based on calculations. Although Yexian County is not big, there are many messy alleys in it, and it is almost possible to get lost in the dark.

Fortunately, the main road in Ye County is unique, so it was not easy to find it. After avoiding several waves of night patrol soldiers, it was already more than an hour before we arrived in front of Xishan Tower.

Xishan Restaurant is indeed the largest restaurant in Ye County. It has a wide facade and three floors in the main building. I don’t know how big it is inside, but there are several courtyards.

Ying Yi led Er Niu over the side wall and entered a side courtyard of Xishan Building. Then Ying Yi was also blinded.

This is the Xishan Tower that I had agreed with Sun Xiucai earlier. Ying Yi didn't know about Xishan Tower, but Sun Xiucai did. This is a symbol of Ye County and is easy to find, so we agreed here. However, Ying Yi didn't know which room and courtyard Sun Xiucai lived in.

It's so dark. Do you have to go through the courtyards one by one and knock on the door in each room?

Erniu also realized the seriousness of the matter. He whispered: "What should we do now, Brother Ying?"

Ying Yi frowned and thought for a while: "Act according to the opportunity."

At this moment, the door of the side courtyard opened with a creak, and Ying Yi hurriedly took Er Niu and hid it in the corner. He saw a young boy who looked like a waiter walking in from outside the courtyard, cursing and complaining, probably Complaining about how the shopkeeper squeezes me.

Ying Yi's mind changed and he stood out from the darkness: "Xiao Er."

The waiter was startled when he saw a burly man walking out of the darkness and couldn't help but tremble.

"You...who are you?"

Ying Yi said warmly: "I have something I want to ask my second brother."

The child clearly saw Ying Yi's face. Although it was a little rough, it was not ferocious. He couldn't help but relax a little and said: "My guest, this is the side courtyard, where we young men live. Why are you here?" Already?"

Ying Yi said: "My brother and I drank some wine and wanted to talk to Sun Xiucai, but we didn't expect to end up here."

Erniu also came out.

Ying Yi asked: "Which courtyard does Sun Xiucai live in? It's so dark that it's hard to find the way."

"Sun Xiucai?"

When the second brother heard this, he said: "But a scholar in his mid-twenties, with small eyes and a white face and no beard?"

After hearing this, Ying Yi couldn't help but be surprised by the excitement of the younger brother. He smiled and said: "Sun Xiucai is not a small-eyed man, nor is he white-faced and beardless. Which Sun Xiucai are you talking about?"

It turns out that this little second brother was actually testing.

After all, Ying and Yi are too abrupt.

When the second brother heard this, he let out a long breath: "Objective, don't blame me for being too cautious. The world today is not peaceful..."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "As it should be."
