When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 53 Flame Spirit Burning Heart (Please follow up!)
Zhang Ji Mansion
The sun was scorching hot, and the vicious sun in the sky seemed to want to roast the people on the ground into jerky.

Zhang Ji was quietly lying on his side in the gazebo in the backyard, holding a cattail fan, and huge white ice cubes were placed all over his body.While Zhang Ji was waving the palm-leaf fan, he looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and the wind mixed with the cold air released by the ice cubes blew on his body, temporarily dispelling the heat on Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji read the content on the bamboo slips, which recorded things about Xinzheng.

In the past few days, Xinzheng has been in chaos as soon as night falls.

First, Tianze escaped from prison, then Wei Zhuang destroyed the Poison Scorpion, and then Qijuetang annexed the original territory of the Poison Scorpion before the other gangs reacted, officially becoming the leader of the Xinzheng gang.

With the rise of Qijuetang, Xinzheng's night became even more restless.

The gang fights will only be carried out at night, so as not to affect the vendors and residents on the street, so as not to affect their monthly tribute.

Although Qijuetang successfully annexed those sites that belonged to the Poison Scorpion Sect and recruited many subordinates of the Poison Scorpion Sect, it has not been fully digested.

The Qijuetang, established by a group of former Korean soldiers as the core, has quite strict gang rules, prohibiting many acts of burning, killing and looting, and the slightest violation is punished with sticks and whips, and the more serious ones are beheaded, as if this is not a Jianghu gang, but an alternative military camp.

Therefore, many people who were accustomed to burning, killing and looting under the poisonous scorpion chose to fight against Qijuetang.Either they openly rebelled, or they were obedient and obedient, but no matter what kind of people they are, behind them are more or less shadows of Xinzheng gangs such as the Green Bamboo Gang, Sancunmen, and Guanshankou.

After all, no one wants to see a giant in Xinzheng appear in Xinzheng who can single-handedly crush other gangs in Xinzheng.

Thus, a series of open and secret fights began.

And this is just a disturbance in Xinzheng City at night.

On the outskirts of Xinzheng, there is a slum area, where many poor families and refugees live. Although they are all low-class untouchables, they are numerous and mixed, so they are usually guarded by the city defense army under Ji Wuye's command. In case someone makes trouble.

However, these poor people have always been cautious and dare not have anything happen, not to mention there are Han soldiers guarding them.But in the past few days, there have been frequent commotions and fires here. Many people clashed with the Han soldiers who were in charge of guarding the place. Baiyue soldiers who survived the First World War.

Gang fights in the city are frequent, and mobs outside the city are rioting and raging. This is a worry for Xin Zhengling and Han Fei, who is a bandit.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Zhang Ji.

Putting down the bamboo slips, Zhang Ji looked at the door that had not been opened in front of him for several days.

Ever since Yan Lingji refused Tianze's call and returned to the room that night, Yan Lingji had never come out, at least not in front of Zhang Ji, and even the food placed outside the door had not appeared before him. Picked it up outside the door.

He knew that Yan Lingji hadn't made up her mind yet.

But there are some things that only I can figure out and make decisions about.

"My lord, it's time for dinner." A maid interrupted Zhang Ji's thoughts, glanced at the slightly sad Zhang Ji with beautiful eyes, and said cautiously.

It wasn't that Zhang Ji treated the maids badly so they were afraid of them, but in the past few days they found that Zhang Ji and Yan Lingji, the "mother" in their eyes, seemed to be having conflicts, and they were worried about being implicated innocently.

After all, the nobles of those big families often like to do this. When the master is angry, try to do things to avoid contact with the master. This is the survival criterion of these maids for many years.

Hearing the maid's voice, Zhang Ji got up and glanced at the still closed door, and sighed faintly.

In the room, Yan Lingji stretched out her fragrant tongue, and lightly licked that long and slender index finger. A part of the crystal-clear sweet body fluid remained on the fingertips, easily piercing through the thin window paper.

A light blue eye looked towards the courtyard through the small hole, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief seeing Zhang Ji's gradually receding figure.

The door of the room was opened quietly, and a plain white jade hand stretched out from the door, grabbed the food box and sent it to the door, Yan Lingji, who had already felt hungry, immediately started eating.

After all, fairies have to eat too.

It's just that the reason why she didn't go out was slightly different from Zhang Ji's guess.

It wasn't just that she didn't make a thorough decision on what to do, but more because she felt that she suddenly didn't know how to face Zhang Ji.

At first, she felt that she and Zhang Ji could only be regarded as friends, a friend who rescued her from prison and gave her a comfortable place to live.

It's just that this friendship deepened as I became more and more intoxicated in this comfortable life, coupled with the attraction of secrets that seemed to emerge continuously from Zhang's fuselage, it reached a level of friendship, Love has not yet reached the level.

So she stayed, more because she fell in love with such a leisurely and comfortable life, not for Zhang Ji.

But she likes such a leisurely and easy life, because she no longer has to drive the flame to destroy other people's lives with malice, destroy their houses, and take their lives, but uses her own flame to warm a jug of ice wine, Fry a bowl of stomach-nourishing medicine to light a candle to disperse the darkness.

She felt that it was more meaningful than getting blood on her hands, even if her flame only helped a certain person.

Therefore, the reason why she stayed seemed to be for Zhang Ji.

Just like a doctor can help others but not herself, she can understand the minds of many people through the fire charm, but she can't understand her mind which is becoming more and more incomprehensible to herself.

Until the night fell, until the visit of the four uninvited guests...

PS1: From the pre-Qin period to the Han Dynasty, the two-meal system was prevalent, which has an important relationship with the grain output, and is also closely related to people's living habits of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

The first meal of the day is called "chaoshi", also known as "饔", and it is usually served between ten and eleven o'clock.The morning meal is the main meal of the two meals. The meals are all freshly cooked cooked food, and the appetite must be controlled so that you can start the day's work energetically.

The second meal is called "Supper", also called "飧", and it is usually served between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the afternoon.The second meal "shi" is far less rich than "chaoshi". Most of the "shi" dishes are relatively simple, and they often even eat the food left over from the morning meal, just to relieve the hunger and fatigue of a hard day's work.

It was not until the end of the Warring States period that the "three meals system" appeared. A supper at seven or eight o'clock in the night was called "night meal". Adopt the "three meals system".

PS2: The term "burning the heart" comes from Taoist mind-cultivation classics.It means: When you do things, you violate your original intention, so you are stuck in your heart, unable to let go, and become a demon.
