(There was an error in the character in the previous chapter. The prefect of Yingdu should be Mao Mingcai. This was Long’s omission and has been corrected. I would like to apologize to everyone. - Xiaolong)
Yingdu The wind is destined to carry a fishy and sweet smell today.
The door of the Academic Affairs Department is just closed, with a wooden plug. The back is not blocked with various things like the city guards. At the same time, behind the door, there is not a whole array of spears, but an array of spears. They were a group of trembling and anxious academic and political officials.
After Gao Yi's order was issued, more than ten soldiers on each side jumped onto the wall. At the same time, there were soldiers holding crossbows on the wall to guard the interior.
It is true that you should kill a chicken with a butcher's knife, but the daily training has already imprinted some things in your bones.
The soldiers who climbed in first did not encounter any obstruction. There were many people from the Academic Affairs Department inside, but everyone just stepped back and then backed away. The door was opened from the inside so simply.
A group of soldiers outside rushed in directly.
The officials inside may have thought that this was just Mr. Hirano who wanted to come in and accuse people, because the world in the eyes of most people actually perceived it according to their habits.
They feel that the worst-case scenario is that a group of people are arrested, a group of people are tortured, and a group of people are dragged out to interrogate a group of people. Most of them will still be fine.
It is the group of people who are accused, and those who will really be severely punished may be the two or three most unlucky. After all, the law does not punish the public.
However, their world is completely different from Uncle Zheng's world.
Especially after experiencing the massacre of 40,000 Qingluan soldiers by conveying military orders under Yupan City,
the scene in front of me,
For Uncle Zheng To a large extent,
it’s really just a small scene.
The swords of the personal guards had been sharpened all night. After rushing into the Administrative Department, they automatically separated into a group of three. The first soldier who rushed in did not pounce directly, but started to take a detour from the two wings. Behind them, the soldiers who came in later raised their swords and slashed at the officials.
This kind of attitude of coming up and slashing with a knife without saying a word really made them very uncomfortable. When blood splattered on their faces, they felt the disgusting heat and wanted to escape, but they couldn't. I was shocked to find a soldier appearing behind me.
This is not a killing that will never slip through the net, because Zheng Fan does not bring many personal guards this time, but even if it slips through the net, it will not leak out too much.
Listening to the screams that kept coming from inside,
Mao Mingcai’s expression froze there,
At this time, he,
There is a feeling of going back to when I was in Yupan City a year ago.
At that time, I also stood in front of Zheng Fan,
but Zheng Fan still forcibly issued the military order for Jingnan Marquis to kill the prisoners.
Today, it is the same.
He came and tried to stop him, but he still couldn’tOld failed to succeed.
Back then, he was the Minister of War and the imperial envoy to negotiate with Chu. Now he is the prefect of Yingdu. After the commander-in-chief of the Marquis of Jingnan entered Fengxin City from Yingdu, he, Mao Mingcai, was the commander-in-chief of Yingdu. The actual spokesman for the civil affairs and civil affairs in the capital.
A minister and a feudal official. At this time in the Yan Dynasty, the latter undoubtedly had a higher position than the former. Because of the strength of Emperor Yan, the six ministries and the cabinet could only be reduced to the will of Emperor Yan. Loudspeaker.
However,
the young man in front of me,
was newly granted the title of Prince Hirano, and now, he has just snatched back the princess, and the emperor granted him a golden armor While he was still alive, he was ordered to return to Beijing to receive the award.
It was not just him, Mao Mingcai, who was promoted.
Mao Mingcai slowly closed his eyes, his lips trembling a little. He did not try to rush in and shout for the guards to stop killing, but said:
"Uncle Zheng, we need to If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it."
Zheng Fan took a breath,
as if he was tasting the faint smell of blood.
Tao:
"Let the east, west, north and south winds blow."
......
In the inn,
did not follow. The blind man who went out and the Savage King sat face to face, with a chessboard in front of them.
Two pieces, black and white,
playing backgammon.
"It's not enough." The Savage King said, "Just one academic secretary is not enough."
The blind man nodded.
The Savage King continued:
"Yingdu is a good place. Firstly, what happens here can be spread effectively; secondly, it is not sensitive enough. "
Yingdu is a big city, and everything that happens here will inevitably be spread to Yanjing.
Whatever you sing and dance here, the nobles in Yanjing will definitely know.
However, Yingdu is far away from Yanjing, and its political status is insufficient compared to the cities in Yan's original territory.
This is a big cake, a cake that is not so hot in the mouth. The domineering here will not touch the real rebellion of the Yan Kingdom.
If you miss such an opportunity, you will miss it. The further west you go, until you reach Litian City, then cross the Matishan Mountains and enter the Yan Kingdom. Uncle Zheng will have to change his face.
Be docile,
be well-behaved,
be obedient,
be,
be kind.
The military parade at Xue Customs and what they did in Yingdu were a gesture;
After entering the Yan Kingdom’s inherent border, what they had to show was their stance.
The blind man dropped one, and
said:
“With a firm stance, it’s easy to talk about it.”
The Savage King said with a smile : "This is the art of emperors."
The blind man shook his head and said: "Emperors are impermanent and have no fixed skills. Young emperors, middle-aged emperorsKings, old emperors, are completely different;
The emperors who maintain their status, the emperors who pioneer, the emperors who are obscured by powerful ministers, and the emperors who are restrained by their subordinates are also different. "
The Savage King sighed, nodded, and said:
"The Emperor Yan is old. I once heard that the Tibetan Master of Qian Kingdom entered Yanjing and beheaded Dayan. Dragon Vein, since then, there have been more rumors that Emperor Yan is about to die soon. "
The blind man said: "Later, the prince in the palace went to Tianhu Mountain to absorb the borrowed luck from the Yan Cauldron together with the accumulation of hundreds of years of Tianhu Mountain's dojo. They all poured it back in, and it seemed like it was complete again. "
"Mr. Bei, do you believe it? ”
“If you believe it, there will be something, if you don’t believe it, there will be nothing. It would be too arbitrary to simply say that man can conquer nature. I think that a little bit of luck is still needed to be a person and do things. "
"This is the truth. I realized this after I found out that the beauty order of my holy clan was in the hands of my uncle. I even felt that our uncle was my life.
In a game of chess, it’s hard to get to the middle game.
If you take a step forward, you will be able to have a bright future;
If you take a step back, you can also open up the sky;
< p>But as soon as our uncle showed up, I was unable to move forward or retreat.I didn’t believe in fate before, because in the eyes of you Xia people, my holy clan is a beast. How can a beast have the qualifications to judge fate?
But now,
I kind of believe it. "
The blind man smiled slightly,
said:
"The game is backgammon, not Go. Your borrowing something to express your feelings is a bit too far-fetched. "
"You can say whatever you want. Things are just a reason. In fact, Mr. Bei should understand what I am thinking. How long can Emperor Yan's body last?
I don’t believe those rumors are groundless.
The most important point is that,
Emperor Yan was a talented and strategic emperor.
Well,
How should I put it,
Actually, I am the same. "
The blind man smiled.
"Don't laugh, be serious, please! "
The blind man put away his smile and said, "Okay, I won't smile. "
"Well, I think that the Emperor Yan stepped on the throne, annexed the three Jins, expelled the saints, and suppressed the Qianchu. Such an emperor, according to his character, must not be able to bear it. Just walk around and see.
For example, in the Jin Dynasty,
the dragon rides for a walk;
The emperor's patrol will certainly cost a lot of money, but it can be extremely effective in calming people's hearts. , to shock the situation, and calculate the cost, it is actually a good deal.
But he didn't, he stayed in Yanjing and his palace. "
The blind man nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words.
In the history of another world, the First Emperor also traveled around the world many times. Later historians often criticized this, I think he's very happyachievement.
In fact, this was not the case, because then, as soon as Zulong died, the world collapsed.
This means that the emperor used himself as a "stability maintenance" tool to stabilize his empire.
If Emperor Yan could ride a dragon around Jin in the past two years, it would definitely be of great benefit to the situation in Jin. The people of Jin would also be able to feel more directly the coming from the Jin. The emperor's coercion also helped to win over people's hearts.
Of course, putting aside political factors, from a purely personal perspective, this kind of inspection is extremely fascinating in itself.
The Savage King continued:
"So, what we are facing may be an old emperor who has only a few years to live."
"Well "
"We need to discuss it carefully for two more days so that our uncle can make adjustments when he meets the Holy Spirit."
The blind man shook his head and said:
" This is the Lord’s strength. At this point, he is stronger than all of us.”
The Savage King blinked and said:
With the Savage King's intelligence, he couldn't figure out for a moment whether this was ridicule or sarcasm.
The blind man said:
"Your way of dealing with others can easily make people feel bored, but the Lord is different. The Lord can make people feel refreshed and appetizing."
"Then I have to learn from my uncle."
"It's not necessary, the Lord has nothing to do with it."
Because the demon kings came round after round Licking,
As a result, the current excitement threshold of the Lord is getting higher and higher.
The Savage King said:
“Getting back to the subject, just one Academic Affairs Secretary is not enough. The smell of blood is not enough. We have to identify a group of families suspected of being impostors. At least, we have to form a queue to behead people at the vegetable market."
"For this to happen, my uncle's bodyguards alone are not enough."
"So. , You have to mobilize your troops," the Savage King replied.
The blind man lost another son,
said:
"Outside the city of Yingdu, there are three large battalions, one of which is the auxiliary troops of Jin, with more than 10,000 soldiers. , one battalion came from the Eastern Expedition Army, with six thousand, and one battalion came from the Jingnan Army, with three thousand.
Which one should I choose? ”
Yingdu? The most important city in Chengguo is also the center that radiates to the entire Chengguo. During the war, it is also a transfer point for money, food and supplies. There are only 20,000 soldiers in the outer city, which seems a bit small, but you must know that the outer city of Yingdu is Wangjiang. By the way, there are garrisons in other surrounding cities. If there is any trouble, reinforcements from all walks of life will arrive quickly.
The Savage King stroked the chess piece in his hand playfully. He knew clearly that this was the first time he was released to work. Both the uncle and Mr. Bei in front of him had their own intentions. Examine your own meaning.
Immediately said:
"Haha, the Jin army was raised by servants, and they themselves thought they wereWith this status, they dare not move around, and there is no point in oppressing them.
It is enough to take the three thousand Jingnan troops for use. It is enough for three thousand Jingnan troops to enter the city and arrest the Suo Na people.
The Jingnan Army moved, and the Jin Army and the Eastern Expedition Army outside did not dare to move rashly, let alone intervene, even with the prefect's order. "
The blind man made another one, and made a series of four,
said:
"In what name do you mobilize troops? "
The Savage King abandoned his son and admitted defeat,
and said:
"I have mobilized troops in the name of Jingnan Marquis, true and false, true and false, true and false, Even if a discerning person can see that these are the arrogance and domineering actions of our uncle on his own initiative, as long as Jingnan Marquis does not deny it, no matter how discerning a person is, he still has to weigh it. ”
“But, there is no tiger talisman. "
The Savage King laughed "haha",
said:
"It sounds like when the Marquis of Jingnan asked our uncle to pass the order to kill the prisoners. It looks like a tiger charm! "
......
The killings of the Secretary of Academic Affairs are still continuing.
The sword master in white is sitting in a tea shed propped up by the roadside. , drinking tea, sitting opposite him was the cautious Chen Daole.
The two men, Brainless and Unhappy, were also enrolled in the guard camp.
He Chunlai was. Because she can make candied haws, Jian Maid likes to eat them, so Jian Maid wants He Chun Lai to come out with her, and then Fan Li helps her intercede in front of Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan agrees.
Since He Chun Lai came out with her, she agreed. When spring comes, Chen Daole is naturally brought along.
On the rooftop diagonally opposite, Chen Daxia is squatting there.
Yingdu is not Uncle Zheng’s home
After three hundred personal guards entered the Department of Education, Uncle Zheng’s bodyguards were naturally reduced.
Because the demon kings stayed behind, sent out, and were injured. A blind man has to keep an eye on the Savage King, so when he comes out this time, the protective force around Uncle Zheng is very weak.
Of course, Uncle Zheng has always been cautious.
Even if the demon kings are around, he will still feel unsatisfied. After all, no one will think that he is too safe.
Master Chen's sword is dripping with blood, and he has retreated. Three people came to see the situation.
These people are not very good at martial arts, but they are good at light skills. They are often used by big families as "Ear Reporters".
Chen Daxia didn’t kill anyone, he just let them go back with blood.
In Uncle Zheng’s words, this can add to the “bloody atmosphere” of Yingdu and make the big families in Yingdu more attractive. I felt the scene here directly.
Chen Daxia felt that he couldn't figure out the reason, but fortunately, he had an advantage. If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it.
He enjoyed it. The feeling of using a sword in front of a sword master,
Even if the sword master is just sitting there drinking tea without looking upIt took a glance, but Chen Daxia felt that the sword master should be able to feel it.
But in fact,
Chen Daole knew that
The sword master propped his chin with his right hand and
had been asleep for a while.
Chen Daole also reached out several times to help drive away flies.
Most people still look up at the Sword Master.
Looking around,
Yingdu,
I am back again.
Chen Daole vaguely felt that the last time he was kidnapped by Fan Li in Yingdu was just yesterday.
As a son of the Chen family, he only wanted to restore the country. However, after going to Xuehaiguan, seeing the scenes in Xuehaiguan, and following Uncle Zheng into Chu, he suddenly had this idea. A few changes.
The sword master opened his eyes at this time,
sighed slightly,
picked up the cup and took a sip of herbal tea.
"Looking back here again, do you see the same people, the same things, the same scenery, but everything seems to be different?"
The Sword Master spoke to himself. ,
Chen Daole was flattered,
immediately and respectfully replied:
"Yes."
The sword master slightly rotated the cup in his hand,
Tao:
“People, it’s better not to live too tiredly, because you will find that even if you are exhausted, whatever should happen will eventually happen.”
p>
"Yes, sir."
"I like Xuehaiguan very much. People there can have a place to live and food to eat."
This winter,
in the snow customs,
the sword masters are very comfortable,
because none of them freeze to death or starve to death.
Even peaceful times are extremely rare.
Chen Daole really wants to say: The living conditions of the soldiers and civilians in Xueguan are obtained through plundering from the outside. For example, in order to allow the soldiers and civilians in Xueguan to have a sip of broth in winter, children can Drinking goat milk,
The Naiman tribe selflessly dedicated everything they had.
The Sword Master continued:
"Now, I just want to be comfortable for myself, and I just want the place I can see to make me comfortable."
Chen Daole was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, these words were spoken by the sword master who once blocked an army in front of the Snow Customs.
But upon closer inspection, there is actually not much negativity in these words, but rather a sense of freedom and ease that I have let go.
Even the Sword Master only sleeps on a bed, eats with a pair of chopsticks, and only looks at the few people around him.
At this time,
a father and son walked up the street.
The reason why they are said to be father and son is because they look very similar.
Both father and son are holding swords.
Chen Daole looked over and immediately saw his friend Zhang Yiqing.When he first came to Yingdu, it was Zhang Yiqing who received him in Yingdu and gave him a sword as a gift.
Zhang Yiqing also saw Chen Daole. He did not expect that his friend who suddenly disappeared would be seen at this time.
However, neither Chen Daole nor Zhang Yiqing stood up to say hello.
Because they are here and can’t speak.
Zhang Yiqing's father, Zhang Pinghang, was the magistrate of Yingdu Prefecture, a moderate official, but few people knew that he was also a swordsman.
Otherwise, Zhang Yiqing would not have casually taken out a sword to give to Chen Daole, because he had many good swords.
Zhang Pinghang took the initiative to walk to the table, raised his hands to the Sword Master, and
said:
"I really never expected that you are here, my lord."
The two of them knew each other.
In the past, Situ Lei wanted to kill his father, so he found the sword master through Zhang Pinghang.
Who would have thought that this Lord Tongpan, who continued to maintain his small official position despite changing dynasties, actually participated in regicide.
The Sword Master took another sip of tea and said:
"What to do?"
Zhang Pinghang said respectfully: "I have The two nephews are officials in the Academic Affairs Department."
"Oh."
The sword master responded,
and then,
The Sword Master seemed to feel that his response was a little too cold. After all, he and himself were old friends;
So, the Sword Master planned to reply with a few more words:
"Just Just pretend that these two are not relatives."
"..." Zhang Pinghang.
After hesitating for a moment,
Zhang Pinghang said;
"Sir, I feel that Uncle Hirano did something inappropriate in this matter."
The sword master nodded.
"Sir, do you think so too?"
The Sword Master nodded again.
"Then Sir, can you..."
The sword master continued to nod and said:
"You can't beat me."
< p>"..." Zhang Pinghang.Even if you have thousands of reasons,
if you can’t beat me,
I can completely block you.
Zhang Pinghang sighed,
turned around, and
signaled his son to leave with him.
He is not going to save him.
Even though, in the opinion of Chen Daxia above, he is a swordsman who is better than himself in swordsmanship.
But in this world, among those who use swords, how many people dare to draw their swords from the Sword Master without "asking for advice"?
However,
When Zhang Pinghang and his son turned around to leave,
The Sword Master said:
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Pinghang stopped.
“In the past, you helped SituLei Dang, the lobbyist, promised me when he borrowed the sword from me that he would see me a better Dajin. You broke your promise. ”
Is Dajin good now?
Not good,
It’s really not good,
And it’s very bad. Okay.
Zhang Pinghang took a deep breath, bowed before the Sword Master, and
said:
"I would like to punish you. ”
Immediately,
Zhang Pinghang took off the sword in his hand and seemed to have no intention of resisting. His son Zhang Yiqing stood next to him and looked extremely anxious.
"become. "
The Sword Master placed the teacup on the table,
pointed in front of him,
said:
"Help me put it Tea money is settled. ”
