Chapter 403 Assassination
Yangzhou Governor, are you kidding me?
Luo Xing received the secret order from Emperor Yongxi and almost didn't resist it directly. He knew nothing about government affairs, let alone the huge Yangzhou.

Not including Yangzhou City, there are several prefectures and dozens of counties. It is also the most densely populated area, with a population of tens of millions.

That's equivalent to a province.

He may not even be able to manage a village well, so why should he manage a province?

This is not a joke.

He can handle cases and capture people with ease, and he can govern a state with so many things. It cannot be done by simply giving orders.

Is there no one left in the Zhou court?
It's not that there are no people, but there are many people. Once Yangzhou is recovered, how many people are eyeing the position of Yangzhou governor. Moreover, Yangzhou has too many vacancies in the officialdom, and it is a rich place. How many people want to get rich.

Therefore, as soon as the position of governor came out, wolves smelled the smell of meat and all focused on it, but just when all parties were ready to fight for it.

Emperor Yongxi suddenly appointed Luo Xing as the acting governor of Yangzhou, which caught everyone off guard.

From a small shrimp in Nanya to a chief executive, this is all within Nanya. It is not easy for others to interfere with the internal promotion of Nanya. But you can jump out of Nanya and directly enter the civil service system. This span is really too big, and the governor is a powerful official. Official.

The governor was a third-rank official. Although Luo Xing's rank was sufficient, he was a military attaché and a spy. How suddenly he became a feudal official. Isn't this a bit childish?

The courtiers naturally opposed such an appointment. The emperor was too willful. No matter how favored he was, he could not make fun of the governance of a state.

Isn’t this gambling?

At that time, there were many opponents with various reasons, and there were many impeachment memorials, but Emperor Yongxi stayed silent.

It was obvious that Emperor Yongxi was determined to do this this time, and no one could object.

There were even people in the harem who complained, but they were reprimanded. The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Once this ancestral precept was enshrined, it was very powerful.

When Luo Xing saw this situation, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it if he didn't do it, so he could only bite the bullet and take office.

Being an official is all about using people. If you use the right people, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you use the wrong people, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

A wave of officials in Yangzhou had been abolished before, and the group of people who had secretly communicated with Nanchu before they captured Yangzhou and were promoted afterwards could no longer be used and had to be sentenced to prison.

A group of people who would rather die than obey can be used, but the problem is that they have been tortured to a terrible state. After being released, they will not be able to recover for ten and a half months, so there is no hope.

But what should we do if there is such a shortage of officials in Yangzhou?
The imperial court can select some people to come, but water from afar can't quench the thirst nearby. The state capital must be put into operation first. This is the top priority.

If no one uses it, then use your own people.

Ning Yurou was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou to assist Luo Xing in handling government affairs. In fact, Hai Lanzhu was doing this work, but Hai Lanzhu could not appear in an official capacity.

Ning Yurou is in charge of the Nanya Yangzhou Division.

Hongying served as the general magistrate of Yangzhou Governor's Office.

The Yangzhou Inspection Department was re-established, with Jiang Songping as the head, and Fang Tianfu and other disciples of the Tianlan Sect were dispatched to strictly investigate the Jianghu people who took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble and illegal activities.

Yangzhou Guard was rebuilt, Duan Tieniu was recommended to join the army, and corruption was eliminated. The team of 5000 people was reduced to 8000 people, and the rest were temporarily incorporated into civilians.

It was announced that Yangzhou has entered the stage of military control, and at the same time, a curfew will be implemented at night, all entertainment activities will be canceled, hoarding will be cracked down, and illegal and profiteers will be severely punished.

At the same time, 28 more bans were issued.

Known in history as the "Yangzhou 28 Articles", they clearly tell you what you cannot do. Except for what cannot be done, you can do anything that is prohibited by law.

Chaos will definitely last for a while. After all, many people still want to fish in troubled waters, and some people have benefited from Nanchu's rule.

But Luo Xing knows that if he wants to solve the problem, he must not be merciful. Whoever takes the lead will take his head. He doesn't care who the other party is or what power he has.

So what about the Tianlan Sect, what about the Huadu Sword Sect, if they fall into his hands, they will be suppressed without mercy.

Not only did Luo Xing kill a lot of people in Yangzhou, but he also scared many people to death. Others were also concerned about the intricate relationships in the officialdom. If they stayed behind, they might need help from others in the future.

He doesn't care about these things, he is selfless and murderous.

The confrontation between Qin Chong and Tian Wenjing, two famous generals in the world, broke out on the third day after Yangzhou City was recaptured by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Chong did not plan to wait for Tian Wenjing to attack in Yangzhou City, but personally led 20 Sirius cavalry to face the [-] Huainan Army.

The Huainan Army, which relied on its own bravery, was defeated by the Sirius Army, and was killed by [-] Heavenly Wolf Army.

The 20 troops were defeated in an instant.

Tian Wenjing fled to the river with only three thousand personal guards, collected fishing boats, and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. However, they encountered a waterspout in the river.

Less than one-tenth of the three thousand personal guards returned to the south bank alive.

Tian Wenjing is also a first-grade grandmaster, so if he wants to run away, not many people can stop him. Luo Xing is capable of capturing him alive.

But letting him go is far better than keeping him.

He even secretly made a deal with Tian Wenjing, which was also the trigger for Nanchu's internal turmoil.

He asked Tian Wenjing to spend money to redeem the 20 Huainan Army and Tian family members. If these people did not die and returned alive, Tian Wenjing would have a chance to make a comeback.

Tian Wenjing was not stupid, but he had to do it.

Otherwise, even if he returns alive, he will still die.

Luo Xing reported such a large amount of money to Emperor Yongxi for approval after discussing it with Qin Zhong. This money was used to pay for the demobilization and resettlement of the Sirius Army in the three southeastern states.

In other words, the imperial court disbanded the Sirius Army without paying a penny, and the resettlement fee was saved, making the deal a good deal.

Especially with Tian Wenjing's return, the Nanchu court will not be at peace for a while. It is estimated that they will take the initiative to seek peace next.

Anyway, Da Zhou won this battle.

After the battle was won, Emperor Yongxi had enough confidence to negotiate with Xirong. Xirong still wanted to take advantage of Zhou Dynasty, but he couldn't do it.

The war ended as quickly as it started.

In a blink of an eye, Luo Xing has been in Yangzhou for over a month. During this time, he has completely turned Hong Ying into his woman.

Not only did he advance to the second level of martial arts, Hongying also officially became a first level grand master.

The officials arranged by the imperial court were in place one after another, and Ning Yurou, Hongying and others were gradually relieved of the heavy burdens on their shoulders and were no longer so busy.

Emperor Yongxi issued an edict asking him to return to Beijing.

Luo Xing really didn't want to go back, not because he was in love with the position of Yangzhou governor, but because he really didn't want to go back to the center of the imperial court.

It's good to live in Yangzhou like this, but Emperor Yongxi doesn't allow it. There are still many relatives and friends in Luo Jing, so we can't abandon him.

What's more, when Yangzhou was recaptured this time, the reward from the imperial court had not yet been received. Qin Chong was sure that a prince would not be able to escape.Over the years, the Zhou Dynasty rarely granted the title of Duke anymore. Most of them were first-class princes who had reached the top. Without unparalleled military exploits, it would be impossible. Only those hereditary and irreplaceable people would have the opportunity to pass on the title of Duke. .

As for Luo Xing, his merit is not small, second only to Qin Chong, but his reward is too controversial, and most people are opposed to him being promoted to another level.

That's a wait.

A young person is a first-class marquis. Basically, if he has no great achievements, he will reach the top in his life. If he is promoted to a first-class marquis, what position should he be given in Nanya?

He couldn't be allowed to directly eliminate Zhuo Chunfeng's position. It was obviously impossible, and the emperor would not agree to it.

But this time, Nanya must have done meritorious service, and Zhuo Chunfeng was basically sealed.

Emperor Yongxi allowed Luo Xing to enter the capital, but did not take away his position as acting governor of Yangzhou. This is very intriguing. Is it possible that there is still a chance to become a regular official?
Ning Yurou stayed in Yangzhou. Although she wanted to go back to Luojing with her, she couldn't. Someone had to be in charge of the Yangzhou Nanya Branch.

Luo Xing even left the fox girl Susu in Yangzhou. She could help Ning Yurou, and it was safer for her to stay in Yangzhou.

If the secret is revealed when he returns to the capital, it will be troublesome for the four princes of Xirong to pursue him.

Hai Lanzhu is fine. She was originally bought (given as a gift) by Luo Xing in the ghost market and has full legal ownership.

Duan Tieniu also stayed in Yangzhou.

In this way, the number of people returning to Luojing will be greatly reduced. There is no need to hide them and they can go back openly.

Black Feather Guard returned with him.

Luo Xing killed too hard in Yangzhou, and he encountered many assassins. Some of them had a grudge against him, and there were also killers sent by the Southern Chu Jinyi Guards and the Internal Guards.

There are also Yixiantian's killers, who come up with various tricks and emerge in endlessly, but none of them can succeed. Some are even captured alive, and they are forced to reveal a lot of information and secrets about Nanchu.

As you can imagine, the road back to Beijing must not be peaceful this time.

The Black Feather Guards followed him back to the capital, also with the intention of protecting him along the way.

When we came, the wind was still biting, but when we returned, the green trees were already sprouting and the temperature was rising quickly.

When you come, ride a horse.

When we returned this time, the river had thawed and the three southeastern states had recovered. Not only was it comfortable to take the boat, but it also saved us the trouble of accommodation and we could live directly on the boat.

Moreover, this ship was modified from a navy ship in Nanchu. The large ship with [-] materials can dock directly at Luojing Pier.

The cost of the renovation was not low, so he paid for it himself. He made a lot of money in Yangzhou, especially with Ning Yurou's help in investing. In just one month, his wealth tripled.

Now that you have money, you naturally can't live a tight life, and there is no need for it.

Hong Ying is different from Qing Yi, nor is she different from Ning Yurou. Qingyi takes the initiative, but is still a little reserved. Ning Yurou is influenced by Fengyue Field. Although she is a perfect body, she is already a veteran, only one missing The opportunity to practice, so between bed and bed, she is very open-minded, like a fish in water. Hongying is not very active, but also a little reserved, and often needs guidance to get into the state.

However, each has its own advantages and tastes.

If things go on like this, Luo Xing really only envies mandarin ducks and not immortals. There is also Xue Shangxiang. He is not stupid. Xue Qingqing even told him directly to let Shangxiang follow him.

But he never relented, not because he didn't like it, nor because he was unwilling, but because if Meng Yi didn't let go, he wouldn't nod.

What's more, even if you want to take people in, there is no rush.

This time back in Beijing, Xue Qingqing was determined to let Meng Yi make a decision. If he continued to be so stubborn, he would delay his daughter's happiness for a lifetime.

Looking at the whole Zhou Dynasty, who else is worthy of Xue Shangxiang, who can give Xue Shangxiang happiness, and who can make her willingly commit herself to marrying.

There is only this little Luohou.

He almost tied Xue Shangxiang and put him on Luo Xing's bed.

Taking a boat is slower than riding a horse, but it is more comfortable, and you can also take a tour of the scenery in Dazhou along the way.

I was nervous when I came here, but when I went back, I felt much more relaxed. It was okay, and I could have some barbecue on the bow of the boat. I wasn’t lonely during the journey either. It can be said that this was Luo Xing’s arrival. The most pleasant period of time in the world.

In the afternoon of this day, the boat reached a waterway and suddenly slowed down. It was said that a rapid whirlpool appeared in front of it.

The boat must be carefully avoided, otherwise it will be sucked into the whirlpool, which may cause it to spin in place, or even destroy the boat and kill people.

Generally, small boats cannot withstand wind and waves, but large boats made of three thousand materials are not so fragile. The hull and keel are specially treated, so they are not easy to fall apart.

This kind of rapids and whirlpools are all caused by the phenomenon of air leakage and sand drifting at the bottom of the water. This is indeed very dangerous. Once you are caught in it, you will be dead.

But there are also artificial ones.

The ferocious beasts in the water are also very powerful, but you generally won't attack humans unless you piss it off.

They all have their own specific activity areas. As long as humans do not disturb their lives, they will not attack you, because once they show up and reveal their tails, they will attract strong humans. At that time, they themselves will There is no escape.

The ferocious beasts in this water, whether they are fish, crocodiles or other exotic species, are all full of treasures, and some of them have special uses.

For example, there are giant whales in the South China Sea, tiger sharks, and some special underwater beasts, clams and snails, and even a kind of monkey that lives in the water. It is extremely powerful in the water. Even if the warrior is not familiar with water, he will be killed in the water. If it is dragged away, it will only become his meal.

Luo Xing is not afraid. His water attribute root bone affinity is first-class, and he is good at freezing. In the water, if these things don't mess with him, if they mess with him, there will be no return. It is the only way to become a delicacy on his plate. way out.

The boatman carefully stayed away from the whirlpool and went around it.

Luo Xingze looked at the whirlpool in the water with interest and found that it was slowly approaching the big ship he was on.

Under tens of meters of water, he saw a shirtless man who was controlling the whirlpool and heading towards his boat.

Was this an encounter with water bandits, or was there an assassination planned by Nan Chu?

"Master Hou..." Hong Ying also saw something unusual. The whirlpool on the water surface was coming towards them. It must be man-made and controlled by someone.

"It's Ruan Gui, the heaven-turning dragon. He can lurk underwater for several days without taking a breath, and has the ability to capsize ships. This whirlpool must have been created by him underwater..." Jiang Yunjing, who was traveling with him all the way back to Beijing this time, was shocked. Call out.

"Oh, you know me?"

"Reporting to the Marquis, I don't know him personally, but I only know that this person once moved around Poyang Lake in Nanchu and never entered our Zhou Dynasty. How could he appear here?" Jiang Yunjing asked hurriedly.

"It's because someone doesn't want me to return to Luojing, or wants my life!" Luo Xing smiled faintly. Although he didn't encounter any assassination along the way, he always kept enough vigilance. Nan Chu was assassinating him. They will lose their troops and generals, but they will not give up.

In particular, the Master Chiyao from Longhu Mountain is still in his hands. No one from Longhu Mountain has come to him. Is it because he doesn’t know, or is he really planning to give up?
It’s not enough to give up. It’s so difficult to cultivate a real person. It’s probably because I haven’t figured out where Chi Yao is yet and I don’t dare to act rashly.

"Playing with water, you're just a little loach, dare to play with a big knife in front of me?" Luo Xing snorted coldly, raised his hand, and gently pressed down on the water surface. The vortex instantly started to rotate in the opposite direction, and then the figure under the water was swept away. The rolled up water dragon was suddenly thrown into the sky.

Before Ruan Gui could react, when he saw Luo Xing, he flicked his right hand and shot several silver needles into the air, sealing his Dantian in an instant. His true energy could not move at all and he fell down.
