The next morning, the market town of Wanghai County was still open as usual, and the people coming and going had no idea that they had been to the gates of hell yesterday.
The hawkers' calls were as powerful as ever.
In a bun shop, Zhou Zhilu was eating breakfast.
The buns have a thin skin and are very filling, but it's a pity there's no vinegar to dip them in.
Come to think of it, so many people can't even get enough food to eat, how can they use grain to make vinegar? I'm afraid only officials and nobles can afford it.
"Alas~" Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't because of the common people, but because the taste was really bland.
"Why is Mr. Zhou sighing while eating?"
Zhou Zhilu heard the sound and looked over, only to see Tu Qing and Ling Qingxue walking towards him.
"Can I sit here?" Tu Qing asked.
Zhou Zhilu nodded happily: "Why not? But I won't buy you buns. You high-ranking officials are definitely richer than me."
"Really? I think Mr. Zhou will never be short of money from now on." After saying that, Tu Qing put a brocade bag on the table.
Looking through the brocade bag, it was full of gold coins.
"What do you mean, sir?" Zhou Zhilu asked in surprise.
Tu Qing explained, "We hunted that monster together, so you deserve a share. However, this incident is not simple, and we want to take the monster away with us, so we'll give it to you at the market price of a fourth-tier monster. You deserve it."
Zhou Zhilu was delighted when he heard this. Since it was what he deserved, there was no need to refuse it. He just put it in his arms.
"Besides that, there is something else I want to communicate with you." Tu Qing said immediately.
"Hmm, it's hot...ah, sir, please tell me." Zhou Zhilu said while blowing on the bun in his hand.
Seeing this, Tu Qing couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "You are really different from others. You don't even have the slightest respect for officials, haha."
Then he looked Zhou Zhilu in the eye and asked, "But this is exactly what I want. Are you interested in coming to the capital? Come and support Ye Si."
Zhou Zhilu paused, put down the bun in his hand and looked at Tu Qing.
"Although I have some guesses, I still want to ask you, sir, where exactly is this Fuyesi?"
Tu Qing did not answer immediately after hearing this, but turned to look at the crowded street outside the bun shop, looking at the people wearing cloth clothes, carrying bags on their backs, or carrying bamboo baskets to go to the market.
He asked, “What do you see when you look around?
"A bustling county town? Busy people?
"What I saw was a country gradually falling apart under the erosion of countless corrupt officials!
"The Song Dynasty was founded through military force, and those who made contributions were all honored as nobles or appointed officials.
"But now the external war situation is tense. The Demon Alliance in the north, the pirates in the east, the Gu tribe in the south, and even the allied nations in the west are all eyeing us covetously!
"And within the court, there are nobles and officials. In this vast imperial court, everyone has one word engraved on their head: greed!
"Evil beasts are rampant among the people, yet so many court officials are only concerned with their own petty gains! They completely ignore the corpses of innocent people in the dark night!
"I, Fuyesi, have no ability to control these corrupt officials. I never care about human affairs, but only about demonic ones.
"But precisely because of this, we can focus solely on the people. In this anxious night, we can quell all demonic calamities and protect these defenseless people from external disturbances.
"This is Fuyesi, and we are also Fuyewei!"
Zhou Zhilu was stunned for a long time after hearing this. In Tu Qing, he saw those familiar figures from his hometown.
"I think you are quick-witted, observant, and extremely sensitive to demonic energy. You are very suitable to be Fu Ye Si. What do you think?" Tu Qing looked at Zhou Zhilu sincerely.
However, Zhou Zhilu did not give an answer immediately. He hesitated and replied, "Sorry, sir, I haven't thought it through yet."
Tu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay. After all, it's a major event in life, so it's better to give it some thought. However, we will be returning to Beijing this afternoon. If you are willing to go with us, please feel free to come and find me."
After saying that, Tu Qing took out a black token and placed it on the table: "No matter what choice you make in the end, Fuye Division owes you a favor. If you need help in the future, you can take this token to Fuye Division for help."
Now that he had no interest in eating, Tu Qing took his men and left first.
But before Ling Qingxue left, she glanced at Zhou Zhilu coldly and said, "You should come."
Zhou Zhilu silently glanced at the token on the table, picked it up and flipped it over. The material was very hard and he didn't know what it was made of.
It is black in color, with an exquisite Epiphyllum flower engraved on the front and a graffiti word engraved on the back.
Righteousness...
Whether it is people like Tu Qing or places like Fuyesi, they all have an inseparable sense of belonging to this country and its people, and they are acting on the basis of the righteousness of their country and their family.
But Zhou Zhilu didn’t.
Or perhaps he once did, but facing this unfamiliar dynasty, Zhou Zhilu really found it difficult to say whether he had a sense of belonging.
After all, I've only been here for two months...
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but sigh: "Although it may be a bit dangerous, if I want to get access to more high-value information later, perhaps Fu Ye Si would be a good choice..."
…
afternoon.
Tu Qing and Ling Qingxue led a horse to the gate of Wanghai County.
Ling Qingxue couldn't help but look back, but unfortunately she didn't see the figure.
Seeing this, Tu Qing couldn't help but shake his head and said regretfully: "Everyone has their own aspirations, and nothing can be forced."
After saying that, Tu Qing smiled at Ling Qingxue and said, "Don't you dislike him? Why do you still want him to join Fuye Division?"
