Jianzhou finally received some definite news.
The capital side just relayed a sentence, which was similar to an oral instruction, "You can take action."
It seems that it is neither the will of His Majesty the Emperor nor the capital city as a result of the court discussion. Military orders.
From Hanzhou to Qiu State, and then inside and outside Qiu State’s capital, up and down the mountains, in temples and rivers and lakes, in the mansions of wealthy nobles and among the lower-level markets, there began to be movements.
Zhou Haijing asked doubtfully: "In addition to using all the spies and dead soldiers in Hanzhou to infiltrate and infiltrate the Qiu State, why did they also mobilize and send so many monks to accompany the army? It's not a big deal to use them. That's all, they are not allowed to intervene without permission, just watch? What do you want me to say, just get a couple of Jade Purity Realm monks, bring a group of Xingbu Earth Immortals to worship, and cooperate with a few Far Traveling Realm and Mountain Top Realm warriors to visit more times. It won’t take even half a day to solve it, or just send twelve of us to visit Qiu Country, and there won’t be any casualties.”
Cao Gengxin asked with a smile. Said: "In a fairy mansion, if there are immortals, ascended and sitting in the dojo, what do you need those cultivators who have reached the fifth realm?"
Zhou Haijing said: "Don't beat around the bush, be more straightforward."
Cao Gengxin explained patiently: "First, this is a military exercise that is not on the table. The method is quite special, but the Great Li Dynasty that returned half of the Aquarius Continent will be used for decades or even a hundred years. , will be used. Da Li needs to verify the results first, and check for leaks and fill in the gaps in all aspects. Second, it is equivalent to the investigation of both Da Li soldiers and officials. Kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, knock the mountains to frighten the tigers, and let the southern countries calm down. Third, look at the hearts of the Qiu people, Dali’s own people, and those from the south of Dadu.”
So the Minister of Civil Affairs came to Jianzhou. Staring here, Hanzhou General Lu Song felt dissatisfied. He felt that he was the supervisor of the army. It was true that he could be promoted or demoted on the spot. He was not wrong.
“Cultivating the Tao is about subtraction, but governing the country is about addition.”
“To cultivate the Tao, we must have the perseverance to not back down, and to govern the country, we must have both strong troops and horses. , and the patience to rest with the people.
Tongyezhou is a lesson learned from the past. After the army of wild monsters pressed on the border and swarmed ashore, the land countries could not gather their troops at all. Some dynasties finally managed to gather their troops. They are not battle-worthy soldiers and cannot be called elites. They will collapse at the first touch. Those Xianfu sects that occupy the famous mountain monastery are in an island-like situation in an instant. The only exception is Taiping Mountain."
I don't know where it is. When Shi came here, he had a rare smile and corrected him, "Cao Shilang, in fact, Yu Guizong can be counted as one. It's just that there are too many big monsters besieging Yu Guizong, which makes it appear that the resistance at the foot of the mountain is weak. If you look carefully If you look at the files, you will find that there are ten countries near the border of Yugui Sect that are fighting very hard."
Cao Gengxin nodded and said, "If you have a chance, check it out."
The sky is rising. In the fish-belly white scene, outside the sword boat, suddenly a young monk rose into the sky from the territory of Qiu Kingdom and started to fly.Shi Shi cursed the Da Li dynasty for being cruel and cruel and perverse. Someone from his so-and-so sect will be here today to ask for justice for the Qiu Kingdom from Da Li, even if he knew that he was killed on the spot because of an egg striking a stone. No matter what...
The impassioned words and the momentum soaring into the sky.
Through the mist rising and condensing in the hall, Han E recognized the other person. Even if he lived deep in the palace, he knew this person's name. He was a very talented monastic in Qiu State. The young handsome man seems to be in the sea-viewing state. Remember the year before last at a celebration, my brother Han Jun walked arm-in-arm with him?
Han E felt a sense of heroism in his heart. He didn’t expect this mountain Taoist who was expected to form an elixir and become an Earth Immortal to be able to do this?
When he thought about his choice again, compared with it, it was not upright and upright enough after all, the young prince lowered his head and felt silently ashamed.
On Jianzhou's side, a "flying sword" as thick as a spear was directly sacrificed, and the young monk sacrificed a white jade pagoda's defensive treasure. There was a bang, as loud as thunder, and a The treasure of the mountain gate turned into powder on the spot, and countless debris scattered like snowflakes in the world.
The life object was destroyed, the young man’s seven orifices were bleeding, and his body was shaky. Jianzhou sent a monk from the far-traveling realm martial artist and a monk accompanying the army to expel the young monk. There was another person on both sides. After some verbal exchanges, the Far Traveling Realm martial artist said he wanted to play with him. The latter was surrounded by dangers and never retreated. He caught and fought with each other, and the fight was brilliant and brilliant in a cloudless realm.
Han E's blood boiled with excitement, his hands clenched into fists, and his face turned red. If he hadn't been in Jianzhou, he would have cheered for the young immortal family who was like the mainstay of Qiu Guo.
Zhao Yao rubbed his brows. He couldn't even recite the content of about a hundred words. Why did the Ministry of Punishment of the capital choose such a person?
There is no other way. In the future, we will have to rely on such figures to "secretly" connect people with lofty ideals in Qiu State, and work hard to rebuild the country.
Some people who regard themselves as "remnants of the subjugated country" must be allowed to wander around the world for several years before finally finding a few hidden hills and camps that are responsible, prestigious, and have a certain strength.
In the next three to five years after Qiu Guo, there will be people who are both good and bad, both in the government and in the public. Some of them will receive posthumous titles and posthumous gifts, some will have a smooth promotion plan in exchange for family members, and some will just use money to do things.
Han E finally noticed the change in Zhao Shilang's expression and had a guess in his mind. The young man was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Yao was too lazy to talk in circles with him and said: "Qiu Guo's temples, literary world, rivers and lakes, there will be such strong-willed leaders, such as the one in front of me who fights life and death. Before going down the mountain, I He canceled the golden and jade genealogy and died generously in full view of the public, but secretly obtained a low-grade innocuous card issued by the Ministry of Punishment of the Great Li, two Taoist secrets for which the price had been negotiated in advance, a sum of fairy money, and a nominal For a preacher, obtaining the golden elixir within a hundred years is just a guarantee. Our Ministry of Punishment will also arrange two additional identities for him."
Han E was stunned.
"Wipe the tears on your face. When you replace your brother Han Jun and sit in that position, you will definitely have the opportunity to truly see a person who is worthy of Qiu Guo's conscience. Then I will secretly feel sad. , it’s not too late to shed tears of grief.”
Zhao Yao said calmly: “As promised in advance, the Ministry of Punishment will record your words and deeds, and they will only be more qualified than the civilian officials, but you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you don't break the rules, I won't care what your thoughts are. If you cross the line one day, our punishment department will punish you as usual, and it won't be too late."
Han E's expression. He was dull and his eyes were dull.
Situ Xiguang, the governor of Handzhou, had just received a piece of information submitted by the Northern Mountain Lord of Qiu State. He handed it to the General of Handzhou, Lu Song, to browse and said with a smile: "Find out the two men who tried to sneak attack the cavalry." The assassins of the army have been established. One is a dead member of the family raised by Zhuang Fan, the chief minister of the Qiu Kingdom, and the other is a dead soldier who accompanied Liu Wenjin, the Minister of Rites, into the Qiu Kingdom. "
One of the two assassins. He was still in a secluded section of the official road, and he deliberately set up a formation, but in the end, he was eliminated by the additional monks who were directly sent by the Da Li Punishment Department. Just talking about the sword boat, he watched the whole process of how the formation master and talisman monk set up the formation. So much so that several powerful generals wondered if they could recruit him.
But if Zhao Yao didn’t nod, the assassin’s fate was doomed.
Intercept and kill a large group of Li cavalry first, want to win the jackpot?
The idea of the chief assistant is very simple, but if it succeeds, it will have miraculous effects.
These civil servants, headed by Zhuang Fan, are afraid that there will be no fighting and deaths on the border, otherwise they will not be able to arouse public anger in the country.
What if the two cavalry armies of Dali rushing to the border pass in the many pass counties and counties of Qiu State came to the capital as if they were in an uninhabited country, how could they fight with the high horseback troops? The barbarians of Da Li and the generals of Hanzhou who kill people like drinking water and eating, are demanding high prices and paying back the money on the ground?
A short and capable general with another nickname, sitting at the back, felt weird and muttered: "Is Zhuang Fan a fool? How did he become the chief minister of the Qiu Kingdom?"
The military commander standing in front who was familiar with him turned around and said jokingly: "Like you, it depends on family background."
Zhao Yao and the young prince beside him laughed and said: "I heard that this The Lord Chief Assistant has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child. Before succeeding his father as the Chief Assistant, he was in charge of the Ministry of War for twenty years. In the past ten years, together with Liu Wenjin, the Minister of Rites, who has excellent swordsmanship, he has been relied on by the Empress Dowager Dou Mi as his right-hand man, known as the best in both civil and military affairs? Cao and Yuan, who were not inferior to those who were ministers of the Zhongxing Dynasty of the Great Li Dynasty in the past, also said that if Qiu State had not suffered from the disadvantage of geographical location, if it were located south of Dadu, with the talents of Qiu State's civil and military officials, it would not take thirty years. They can rise to be giants like Jiu Zhu Ying and Bai Shuang, and after another fifty or sixty years of keeping a low profile, they can compete with the Great Li Dynasty."
Han E only felt that he was a piece of gall. It's about to burst.
After listening to these arguments before, the young prince wouldI found it inspiring. Now when I listen to it again, why is it so jarring?
Zhao Yao smiled and said: "In the early years before we were separated from the Lu clan, many literati of this dynasty scolded Cui Guoshi for being militaristic and that the country would be destroyed sooner or later. There were only a handful of people including Changchun Palace who were attached to Dali. The forces of the Immortal Family, as well as several imperial merchants directly managed by the Imperial Prefecture, lost money in some businesses they did in the small country that was also a vassal state. They began to curse the Song court for being a philanthropic boy and the emperor. He is so stupid that he calls the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs a loser. In order to keep his official title, he would rather be a dog to Cui Chan, regardless of the national economy and the people's livelihood."
Zhao Yao said: "Of course, the winner is the king or the loser. Kou, if Da Li had lost to the Lu Dynasty of the suzerain country, or later lost to the Wild Demon Clan, they wouldn’t have made a mistake.”
Han E said sadly: “It turns out that the book said it. The stuff is all made up."
Zhao Yao couldn't help but smile and said: "If you don't study hard, you won't study in vain."
Over there in the corner of the hall.
Zhou Haijing squinted at the talisman armor of Lieutenant General Hanzhou. It was these well-made and expensive mountain objects that made the war in the south of Aquarius Continent even more expensive. In the past, the imperial courts of various countries hired Immortal monks are looking for help from immortal masters who are willing to give enough money. Not to mention that the price has doubled several times. Many lower fifth realm qi practitioners simply do not dare to go to the battlefield and get into trouble, for fear of those immortals who seem to be giving them a try. I put the equipment on my body, and I got a deposit of fairy money that was not yet warm, and it became a pension.
When Zhou Haijing was practicing in the martial arts world in his early years, he saw with his own eyes an old immortal from the cave realm. He used people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Youzai Youzai used a talisman method that was similar to spreading beans into soldiers. When he was feeling complacent, his body was suddenly hit by an arrow from a Mohist crossbow in stock in the enemy country. He was shot into two pieces in the air, and a bloody flower bloomed, along with two The corpse was cut into pieces and fell to the ground full of intestines.
This is still the case in the Cave Mansion Realm. When the cultivators of the Lower Five Realms arrive at the battlefield, they become increasingly powerless. It is no longer possible to go out in the morning and show off some immortal magic, hold a celebration banquet at noon, and return to the dojo in the evening to count money. . For a few gods' money, there is no need to risk one's life, just to practice Taoism honestly in the mountains. Every year, the sect takes a stable amount of filial piety money and salary from the mountain, and goes to the capital during the holidays to pay tribute to the generals, ministers, ministers, ministers and ministers. The dignitaries would write talismans to pray for blessings and ward off disasters, and give them a few bottles of immortal elixirs, so that they would not have to fight and harm the world, but they could also earn good karma, incense, and love, which was more secure.
There are those unscrupulous Shanze Yexiu who are really willing to take the job, but they either take money from both sides, take two deposits and run away directly, doing various immortal dances in the Dragon Gate Formation It is absolutely impossible for him to boast his own disciples and his sect's sect so much that the enemy country's thousands of troops will be turned into ashes with just a breath. Pindao is definitely not the kind of person who likes to show off. If we were to retreat before the battle, we could use our secret skills to sacrifice several important offensive weapons and kill hundreds of people in an instant.But they are easy to pick up... There are even those who defected on the battlefield, or who took the general's head to the opponent's army tent at night to receive the reward.
The genealogy masters on the mountain are more shrewd than the others, and the wild cultivators in Shanze are more wild than the others. The people at the bottom of the mountain are not fools either. After being deceived once or twice, they start to find another way out, such as with The Dali Dynasty purchased more Xianjia-style equipment, but at this critical juncture, the Dali Military Department and the Household Department actually began to discuss the "buyback" issue.
Unexpectedly, the tone has recently changed. They no longer talk about "buyback" at high or low prices. Instead, they will directly send relevant officials to the warehouses of various countries to count, inspect, and take back the goods.
They had to negotiate repeatedly with Dali officials, and they all said the same thing. We Dali just allow you to restore the country and establish a country. From the beginning to the end, all kinds of deeds and handovers were very smooth and there was no embarrassment. Your place even borrows all kinds of mountain-moving spirits and hundreds of talisman warriors for free to open up rivers, stabilize the territory, etc. However, those weapons and armors are all recorded clearly by the Ministry of War and Household Department of the capital of Dali. Chu, you just kept it for me, when did you say it was given to you for free?
It is true that these courts are both distressed and guilty.
Everyone in the world dreams of owning a magical weapon that can cut iron as hard as clay.
It used to be something you could only dream of, but now you just have to have money. You need to establish good relations with the officials of various countries or meritorious generals, and negotiate the price. The latter will move out the fairy weapons one by one, and the former will He was very ambitious, paid with one hand and received the goods with the other, and with the magic weapon in hand, he wanted to cause a bloody storm in the world. As a result, he was extremely jealous when he met the enemy in the world.
In the past few years, how many children of powerful people in the south have suddenly become rich because of this? Playing with women, it doesn't matter what a courtesan is, she has begun to only sleep with the fairies on the mountain.
Perhaps history is always so smoky and full of fog. There are different groups of people, fresh faces, similar identities and titles, but always the same routine.
Cao Gengxin faced the wall, secretly took a sip of wine, raised the back of his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, shook the purple wine gourd, and said: "I remember Cui Guoshi had a conclusion, the general meaning, if Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates prohibitions with martial arts. Then the mountain uses immortal magic to frighten the people below and lead the world. People who practice Taoism are more than just arrogant to the princes and ignore the law. The relationship between the Dali Dynasty and the mountain is now and will be in the future. It will always be a friend-enemy relationship."
Cao Gengxin smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, you have never really been in the officialdom, and you don't read much history books. You don't know much about the relationship between literati and family members. The shortcomings of the Qing Chancellor's long-term control of the government, especially the power of the clerks at the bottom of the officialdom to become "aristocratic families". This is not something that a few monks in the upper five realms, even ascension realms, can ignore. Of course, fighting is the best, you can avoid killing people, but you should also pay attention to the world outside of fighting, for fear that the murderous intention will be invisible.Because of this, the people's hearts outside the officialdom continue to exist, so we must not ignore them, we must not ignore them, and we must not blindly control them. ”
Zhou Haijing’s official style of speech is very boring. She always hears it in one ear and out the other.
She is observing the heroic Da Li The female general, Huang Meixian, was also sizing up this martial arts master who became famous in the capital city of Li.
Cao Gengxin said to herself: "The Qiu Kingdom's border troops, who are fierce and cruel, only have tens of thousands of troops in total. Most of them are young people who have never beheaded anyone or suffered a knife. However, the Great Li Dynasty occupies half of the territory of Aquarius Continent. Every day, the joys and sorrows of many ordinary people arise and fall. We are chatting about this moment, How many people are disappointed or even despairing in densely populated bustling towns, rural seasides, or are they holding on to hope and looking forward to tomorrow? "
Zhou Haijing was stunned.
The martial arts master who was born as a fisherman must have been hurt by the "seaside".
"Obviously every day We are suffering from repeated blows and feel that everything has nothing to do with us. It seems that we can really endure hardships.
Cao Gengxin said with a smile: "The country Cui Guoshi and the Great Li Cavalry managed to conquer with great difficulty can be defended by just a few Ascension Realm monks and Terminus Realm warriors?" ”
Zhou Haijing tutted and said, “You scholars don’t even use curse words when swearing at others.” "
Cao Gengxin sighed and retorted: "They all said it was "us". "
Huang Meixian smiled knowingly.
Cao Gengxin suddenly asked: "Vice-General Huang, Miss Zhou, who is our real enemy in Da Li? "
Zhou Haijing asked: "The entire southern countries of Aquarius Continent? "
Is it possible that he vomited it back and then ate it again?
Huang Meixian said: "We are no longer fighting a big war. We have been grudged for a long time and finally turned against the Yizhou Immortal Master? "
Cao Gengxin shook his head and said: "Only Da Li himself. "
Huang Meixian was thoughtful.
Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "I was not the first to ask the question, and the answer was not my own. "
Zhao Yao, the Minister of Punishment, has been paying attention to the movements in the corner.
This Cao Gengxin, the previous test questions from the Imperial Prefect's Office were leaked, and even the answers were given.
It seems that Cao Xunshou admires Huang Meixian, the deputy general of Hanzhou?
Zhao Yao came over and said with a smile: "One world can unite the power of the world. Creating a small group of monks in the Fourteenth Realm was an idea that had been planned in the early days of Wilderness. It's a pity that it didn't work out in the end, otherwise it would have been a good reference. ”
Han E, the most unpopular young prince on the ship, had a purpose and followed Zhao Shilang wherever he went.
Zhao Yao shouted An official's name and number were reported, and the young official of the Dali Criminal Department immediately obtained a piece of information, which had something to do with the residence of the prince of Qiu State Han E.
Zhao Yao handed the information to Han E.After Han E saw it, his face turned pale and his lips trembled. He wanted to curse but couldn't.
It seems that the curse words and cruel words taught in the book are not strong enough to express the inner resentment and resentment of the young man.
Zhao Yao said: "According to my personal thoughts, or the usual style of the Ministry of Punishment, the maid from the Prince's Palace who was your childhood sweetheart would have been seriously injured and died last night, and she could not be treated at will. The body will be wrapped in a cloth and returned to the prince's palace, and you will return to the capital to collect her body in person. But our punishment department does not dare to do this now. Instead, someone gave her a bottle of golden sore medicine secretly made in the mountain."
Han E raised his head and stared at the powerful Minister of Justice of Dali.
How can your secret spies from the Great Li Xing Department act so viciously? !
Zhao Yao's eyes looked pitiful, "Hate me and the Dali Punishment Department more? Isn't that right? Isn't Han Jun the culprit who almost whipped her to death?"
He stretched out his hand. A heavy slap on the young prince's face caused red and swollen palm prints to appear on the young prince's cheek. "It's okay to be stupid. Do you have a face? Han E, you have to be afraid in your bones, don't hate in your face."
Han E was slapped a series of times by Zhao Yao until stars appeared in his eyes and his head turned dizzy. Zhao Yao's last slap even made the young man fall to the ground.
Cao Shilang hurriedly jumped around and said the next sentence in the capital dialect, "It's porcelain."
On the sword boat, in addition to the governor Situ Xiguang, the Hanzhou general Lu Song , Hanzhou deputy general Huang Meixian, and a group of prefecture and county officials.
As well as Yizhou Xuezheng and Daozheng, who boarded the ship to make up for the numbers and were completely unavailable to talk to. One was a high-ranking official with an idle position, and the other was a low-ranking Taoist official.
Qiu Guo’s morning court today was sparse, and the hall was half empty than usual. Some people complained of illness, and some even didn’t even find an excuse.
The Da Li Guo Shu clearly states that the 400 people on the list range from the Queen Mother Dou Mi of Qiu State to the Emperor Han Jun, down to those who lecture in associations, gossip, and use the pretense of elegant gatherings to deceive people. The literati in the opposition were all regarded as traitors and traitors who raised troops to rebel and started provocation at the border. The Dali border army gave them a two-day deadline to disassociate themselves from these characters.
As for failure to comply, the so-called "severe punishment" means and what the specific consequences will be, the credential does not go into detail. Credentials have always been official articles within official articles.
Different from the daily court meetings of the Great Li Dynasty, Qiu State only had three morning court meetings every month, and officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital participated.
The young emperor Han Jun sat on the dragon throne. A few years ago, there was a bright yellow cushion at his feet, but it was later removed.
Behind the throne, there is a high platform with a curtain covered with orbs hanging down. Behind it sits the elegant young Queen Mother.
Han Jun was sleepy-eyed and almost yawned. He lowered his head slightly, put his fist to his mouth, raised his eyes and glanced.
There are six ministers from various tribes in the palace, who will definitely attend the court meeting, because they are all officials placed here by the Great Li Dynasty.
They are the Department of Rites, the Department of Military Selection, the Department of Examination of Officials, the Department of Water, the Ministry of Households, the Department of Water Affairs, and the Department of Punishment.
Most of them are young, around thirty years old. Although they participated in the Qiu Dynasty meeting, they almost never spoke. Year after year, they were stuck on the gold bricks like wooden men. They have different personalities. When they returned to the government office, they did not have too many taboos and had friendly relationships with their colleagues. In addition to the Dali Mandarin that has become the elegant dialect of the continent, they can all speak proficiently in the Qiu State Mandarin of the past.
As the suzerain, capital and companion capital of Dali, a group of young officials are "sent out" every year to practice in the courts and yamen of various vassal states and become familiar with government affairs. As a rule, they take three to five years. Will return to Dali officialdom.
Han Jun has always had an impulse. If he drags them out and kills a few, will the heads of Liu Wenjin and Han E be dumped in the capital city of Dali?
Zhuang Fan, the first assistant in the dynasty, has been carrying hairpins for generations, and his sons have inherited their father's legacy for several generations.
He is a great poet, a calligrapher, and a book collector who is good at connoisseurship.
At this moment, the chief minister is talking about military tactics. In front of those doctors, he talks about how Qiu State should fight first at the border, then at a certain county, then at the capital with strong walls and clear fields, and finally at the capital. He did not hesitate to fight on the streets inside the capital and outside the palace... he was careful and organized step by step.
It was only slightly different from the previous court meetings. Before, there would be small but firm cheers in the hall, one after another, or some officials whose faces were so red that their bodies were shaking, and the chief minister. Cooperation is like poetry and harmony.
It was a little lonely in the main hall today.
General Dou Man, the well-deserved leader of his relatives and the younger brother of the Queen Mother, has a beautiful face and a slender figure. When the war in Aquarius Continent ended, he was busy searching the mountains in Qiu State. He wore armor and personally led the troops, capturing many remnants of the wild monster clan hiding in the mountains. Their heads were hung on various places. Above the gate of Dafu County City, it is very satisfying.
The real protector of the country, Fu Xian, who does not wear court clothes but wears a green robe, has a Taoist name of "Ling Bao" and is a master of water magic.
Fu Xian is the contemporary head of the largest immortal sect in the Qiu Kingdom. There is also an ancestor of Yuanying who has been in seclusion for many years in the mountains. It is said that he suffered the death of the immortal master during the battle with the capital in the past, when his life was like a piece of cake. Seriously injured. On both sides of the Dadu River, he had outstanding military exploits. In the final battle, he fought a great monster of the fifth realm, which was so dark that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he almost died together.
Behind the curtain, there is the young Queen Mother Dou Mi. She has a lazy attitude and holds her hat with one hand.
The old nun and the slender palace maid holding a sword stood at the bottom of the steps.
Dou Mi asked the teacher to put down the jade hook, and then put down a layer of bead curtains to cover the sight. Liu Lang was not here, and these old guys were really disgusting, they were just pickled things, there was nothing to look at. of.
When he thought of Liu Lang, his already charming and charming eyes became even more moist.
The young Queen Mother turned sideways, stretched out his legs forward, raised his toes, stretched out towards the sword-holding maid who was both a bodyguard and a person, lifted up her skirt, gently rubbed it between her legs, and then slowly moved her toes up.
Seeing her back trembling slightly, the young queen mother laughed and cursed in her heart, "You pretend to be serious, let's see how long you can endure it."
The old woman turned her head slightly and stared at the bead curtain, above the main hall, where the Qiu State was full of civil and military officials.
At this moment.
The palace maid who was also looking forward slightly loosened her arm, and the long sword she held slid to the ground. She reached out to grab the hilt of the sword, let the scabbard fall to the ground, took advantage of the situation and pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and with one sword stroke, the sword fell to the ground. Auntie taught her to bow her head on the spot.
The old woman is also a practitioner with strong Taoist power. She gave up her body and used a magical secret method. In an instant, she turned into billowing black smoke, trying to cover up the bastard who dared to plot to treason and kill her master. Handmaid, skin him alive. The palace lady twisted her wrist, and the talisman sword in her hand instantly bloomed with sword light, stirring up hundreds of golden threads, easily shattering the billowing black smoke mixed with curses. When the black smoke hit the sword light, it made a squeaking sound and fell into pieces. The ground was filled with pus and blood, and the smell was extremely stinky.
The palace maid went from drawing a sword to kill people to breaking the spell in the blink of an eye. Then she cut off the head of the young queen mother with one sweep of the sword. The palace maid sheathed her sword, stepped up the steps, and reached out to grab the woman's head. With her hair in a bun, the young Queen Mother still has flushed cheeks and charming eyes.
Carrying the head in her hand and lifting up the two curtains with the tip of her sword, she walked slowly towards the throne and threw the head into the young emperor's arms.
Han Jun subconsciously reached out to catch the object, lowered his head and looked at each other. The young emperor was startled, and threw the head forward, so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
She took out a large Li Wushi sacrificial plaque from her sleeve, hung it on her waist, held a sword in both hands, and said calmly: "The enchantress Dou Mi has been decapitated."
There was a loud bang, and the hall door suddenly closed.
A young minister, who was a native of Qiu State, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, shook it, and began to "roll call."
"Those whose names are called must keep their heads, but their bodies can leave."
In the top of a mountain surrounded by fairy mist, in a cave of the ancestors, the ancestor of Yuanying let The maids and beauties of the Immortal Family temporarily withdrew, kneeling on the ground alone, saying in a trembling voice: "I am willing to listen to the instructions of the Immortal Master of the Shangguo, and go and clean up the house now."
A handyman disciple came from behind. He took out a list of names and threw it on the ground, "Within one stick of incense, everything has been cleaned up."
The old monk, who was said to be in the Nascent Soul realm, but was actually the bottleneck of the golden elixir, quickly knelt down. He moved forward and grabbed the piece of paper. Several names were shocking and reluctant to leave. The old god's face became distorted and his expression changed.
The servant boy who has been in the mountains for many years but has no name said: "I am in the cave realm. You can kill me as you like."
The old monk stood up and threw the list into his mouth Chewed it up, "Don't dare to have such an idea, I will kill them right now."
Not far away, ripples appeared, and a round-faced girl wearing a Taoist robe appeared, wielding a sword. He hovered and praised, "JingThe world is not high, but he has some ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. ”
The founder monk glanced out of the corner of his eye. The female sword fairy of unknown origin seemed to be dressed in the Taoist robe of Shen Gaozong?
Before attending the morning court, a formal Yintang Guan followed a certain immortal's mountain medicinal diet and feasted on it. As he ate, he began to bleed from his orifices.
A carriage attending a court meeting drove into a secluded alley with a dead end. He opened the curtain and frowned. He said, why haven't you arrived yet?
In one of the busiest brothels in the capital, the courtesan was huddled in the corner, with pear blossoms and rain, wrapped in a silk quilt with gold silk embroidered mandarin ducks, and there was blood on the bed between his eyebrows. The hole in the heart of the official who appeared was repaired with the dagger. The assassin was too lazy to cover up. She vaguely remembered that he was a young man who "carried teapots" here, and his status was the lowest in the brothel. But that's it. At this moment, he was smiling, holding up his finger to his mouth, shaking his head slightly to signal her to keep silent.
She had never seen such a bloody battle, but she had heard some stories. , if you accidentally see the face of the gangster, you will be killed and silenced. The oiran's face was full of tears, his hands were trembling, and the scenery exposed was also trembling.
The assassin felt it even more. Helpless, he waved his hand.
In an instant, a bright light flashed towards the man's neck. The man was frightened and couldn't avoid it. The senior officials of the Qiu Kingdom, the previous two, did not even notice the five or six women sleeping together, until this room... really should not be careless.
A sharp sword energy broke through directly. He smashed the hidden weapon through the window, and then beheaded the woman who wanted to rush forward. The oiran's body collapsed on the bed. The man who survived the disaster quickly turned around and saw a man with an elegant appearance through the gap in the window. The other person was at the door. Walking straight forward from the outer corridor, he said in a secret language: "My name is Su Lang, and I'm traveling with you. Responsible for the finishing touches here, please be careful in the future. "
At dawn, in the courtyard of a mansion, a military official in the prime of life, dressed in court uniform, was walking in the corridor, thinking about something. A thin maid stopped early and waited. As the two sides approached, she timidly called out "Sir", and the official nodded. Just as he was about to pass by, she slipped a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed the official in the heart. She drew the knife and stabbed again, not forgetting to wipe his neck again After drawing the knife, she wiped the blood on her shoulder and put the knife into her sleeve. She continued to move forward slowly, and finally left through the side door.
In a study, an old man who had resigned for many years raised his head. , looking at the middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face who opened the door gently and then closed it, the old man was not frightened, let alone asked, he was just gentle and asked with a smile: "Where are you from? ”
The old man is a well-known official in Qiu State, and his official reputation has been mixed. However, his tough attitude towards the suzerain country, the Dali Dynasty, and Qiu State’s desire to break away from its vassal status have never changed. However, he neither seeks fame nor wealth, nor does he seek wealth for his descendants. The old man sighed. He had clearly ordered people to be more vigilant, but it was still in vain.set up. The man just nodded and said nothing.
The old scribe hummed and asked: "Aside from me?"
The man said solemnly: "None of them are on the list."
The old man The scribe stopped talking and just looked at the man, probably because he was afraid that the assassin would not tell the truth with a dead man.
The man said: "The Ministry of Punishment has not ordered to eradicate the roots. I dare not violate it at all."
As if his face was paralyzed, he hesitated for a moment, squeezed out something that might be a smiley face, "I have read Mr.'s works carefully. Except for criticizing the political affairs of the Great Li Dynasty, the rest of them are very good."
The old scribe was a little surprised. He was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "As I get older, I am still afraid. It hurts. Can you please stop using sharp weapons to kill people and find another way to die, such as using poison?”
Seeing the man shaking his head, the old scribe was about to say a few words of regret when he felt a sudden pain in his body. Then he died.
An old minister of the Ministry of Rites, with a thin appearance and a strong character, was known to both the government and the public. He was praised as the literary courage of Qiu State. Before Qiu State became a vassal of Da Li, the old man spared no effort in scolding Da Li barbarians with harsh words. After Qiu State became a vassal, he recuperated for several years. In the past few years, he began to serve as an official again. It was the young Queen Mother who personally The old man was asked by the Chief Assistant to invite him out of the mountain. At this moment, the old man's nose and beard were all covered with tears. He choked with the assassin who was standing in the dormitory and said: "This strong man, to tell you the truth, I was once a member of the Great Liyi Prefecture." , I moved here with my family when I was young, and I only talked nonsense because I was obsessed with it. In fact, deep down in my heart, I really hope that the Great Li Dynasty can prosper forever, which is where my ancestral homeland is..."
The assassin nodded and said: "The secret files are all written, and I have read them many times."
The last words the old minister heard before he died were, "I am also from Yizhou. ”
On a ferry from the Xian family leaving Beijing, two monks serving as attendants were seriously injured. They sat facing each other against the wall. A family priest who worked for the Duke of the country narrowed his eyes. One of them He smiled sinisterly and said: "Hey, we are actually colleagues? I really couldn't tell it before. We get along with each other in a smooth and smooth manner. You are so ruthless. You even tore off the head of the great prince."< /p>
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, blood seeping out from between his fingers, and said bitterly: "I can't stop you from killing people, and I don't stop you from leaving, so why do you want to follow me?" Exchange your life?"
The other Dali soldier who was responsible for following the list sat on the ground, put his hands on his neck and said, "Because you are on the second list."
A spear crashed through the wall and then through the head, killing the foreign spy on the spot. Someone outside the wall said in his heart: "After a simple bandage, can you get up and leave?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes."
Everyone from the Qiu Kingdom, including the Queen Mother and Emperor, civil servants and military generals, powerful nobles, monks with genealogies, celebrities in the world, as long as they were on the list, more than three hundred numbers, died one by one. . In addition to the list above, there are more than a dozen generals in Qiu’s border army,Not a single soldier died, not to mention the common people on the road from the Qiu State border gate to the capital. Along the way, the county government offices were held, the sound of books in the schools, the busy farming in the fields, and the temple fairs that started to become lively were all the same.
The oriole wind blows from the mountains.
A convoy secretly left the capital for that secluded county. The people were on their backs and their horses were in a hurry. An assassin had already succeeded and disappeared into the morning mist.
In the early morning, it was slightly bright, and the Taoist figure was like a lonely crane, slowly flying across the river.
Since the capital is by no means a place to stay for a long time, then find a place in the wilderness to escape the limelight.
At this moment, the Taoist thought he had succeeded, and was killed by a sword light that rose from the reeds on the shore without any warning.
The common people in the capital of Qiu Kingdom only know that today's court meeting, except that the number of officials is smaller, is still held, but the emperor Han Junchan gave it to his younger brother Han E. It is said that the edict was personally issued by the Queen Mother Dou Mi. Perhaps she felt that Prince Han E was more talented. She also said that in the Jinluan Palace, the Chief Assistant asked him to become an official. The new king who had just ascended the throne was confirmed. The Protector of the Country, the Master Fu, seems to be returning to the mountain dojo for retreat. The soldiers and horses at the border were also withdrawn according to the order, and the merchants and hawkers on both sides of the imperial road who were engaged in the morning business of officials and at the city gate who were waiting to set up stalls for small businesses also began to close their stalls. Many storytellers appeared overnight in and outside the capital. They were gathering under overpasses, in restaurants, attending temple fairs, and began to tell stories. They were about to start telling new stories.
The sky is so bright.
Walking on the peaceful official road, they all walked out of the boundaries of Gyeonggi Province. After hearing a lot of hearsay and colorful news, the girl who left her hometown complained to the young man, "Qiu Guo didn't... It’s a mess.” The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
