The devil is coming

Chapter 473 Bloody
(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)
The wind in Yingdu is destined to have a fishy and sweet smell today.
The door of the Academic Affairs Department is just closed, with a wooden post. The back is not filled with various things like the city guards. At the same time, behind the door, there is not a whole array of spears, but a group of trembling and uneasy people. Official of the Department of Academic Affairs.
After Gao Yi's order was issued, more than ten soldiers on each side of the wing jumped over 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 engraved some things in your bones.
The soldier 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 simply opened from the inside.
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.
Among those who are accused, the two or three who will really be severely punished may be the most unlucky ones. After all, the law does not punish the masses.
However, their world is completely different from Uncle Zheng's world.
Especially after experiencing the massacre of [-] Qingluan soldiers by conveying military orders under Yupan City,
The scene in front of me,
For Uncle Zheng,
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 from the two wings and went back. The soldier directly raised his sword and slashed at the officials.
This 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 were shocked to find that there was also a armor behind them. scholar.
This was not a killing with no chance of slipping through the net, because Zheng Fan did not bring many personal guards this time, but even if it slipped through the net, it would not leak too much.
Listening to the screams that kept coming from inside,
Mao Mingcai's expression froze.
At this time he,
There is a feeling of going back to when I was in Yupan City a year ago.
myself at that time,
He also stopped in front of Zheng Fan,
But Zheng Fan still forcibly issued a military order for Jingnanhou to kill the prisoners.
It is the same today.
He came and tried to stop it, but he still failed.
At the beginning, he was the Minister of War and the imperial minister who negotiated with Chu. Now he is the prefect of Yingdu. After the Marquis of Jingnan entered Fengxin City from Yingdu, he, Mao Mingcai, was the actual voice of the civil affairs of Yingdu. people.
Among the ministers and the feudal officials, 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 mouthpiece of Emperor Yan's will.
however,
The young man in front of me,
At that time, he was newly granted the title of Pingye Bo, but now, he has just snatched back the princess. The emperor gave him a golden armor, and he was ordered to return to the capital to receive the award.
It wasn't just him, Mao Mingcai, who had his position improved.
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, you need to know that if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them."
Zheng Fan took a breath,
As if tasting the faint smell of blood that has spread out,
Road:
"Let Er wind from east to west, from north to south."
……
In the inn,
The blind man who did not go out with him sat face to face with the Savage King, with a chessboard in front of them.
Black and white,
Playing backgammon.
"It's not enough." The Savage King said, "Just one Academic Affairs 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 was far away from Yanjing, and its political status was inferior to that of the cities in Yan's original territory.
This is a big cake, a cake that is not so hot. The domineering here will not touch the true rebellion of the Yan Kingdom.
If you miss such an opportunity, you 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 meek,
Be well behaved,
Be obedient,
want,
Kindness.
The military parade at Xueguan and what they did at Yingdu were gestures;
After entering the Yan Kingdom's inherent territory, what you have to show is your stance.
The blind man lost a son,
Road:
"The stance is firm and the posture is good for negotiation."
The Savage King smiled and said, "This is the art of the emperor."
The blind man shook his head and said: "Emperors are impermanent and have no fixed skills. Young emperors, middle-aged emperors and old emperors are completely different;
The emperors who maintained their status, the emperors who pioneered, the emperors who were shielded by powerful ministers, and the emperors who were restrained by their subordinates were also different. "
The Savage King sighed, nodded, and said:
"Emperor Yan is old. I once heard that the Tibetan Master from the Qian Kingdom came to Yanjing and cut off the Great Yan 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 retreated to Tianhu Mountain and injected back all the luck he had borrowed from the Yan Cauldron, as well as the hundreds of years of accumulation in Tianhu Mountain's dojo. It seems, Completed 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 believe that man can conquer nature. I think that a little bit of luck is still needed to be a person and do things."
"That's 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.
A game of chess, finally reaching the middle game,
If you take a step further, you will be able to open up the atmosphere;
If you take a step back, you can broaden your horizons;
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 just a beast. How can a beast have the qualifications to judge fate?
but now,
I kind of believe it. "
The blind man smiled slightly,
Road:
"The game is backgammon, not Go. It's a bit too far-fetched for you to use things to express your feelings."
"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,
Emperor Yan was a talented and strategic emperor.
Ok,
how to say,
Actually, so do I. "
The blind man smiled.
"Stop laughing, be serious, please!"
The blind man stopped smiling 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. According to his character, this kind of emperor must not be able to help but go out and watch.
For example, in Jindi,
The dragon takes a walk;
Although the emperor's patrol would cost a lot, it could be extremely effective in calming people's hearts and intimidating the situation. Calculating the cost, it was actually a good deal.
But he didn't, he stayed in Yanjing and his palace. "
When the blind man heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.
In the history of another world, the First Emperor also traveled around the world many times. Later historians often criticized him verbally and writing, thinking that he was so happy with his achievements.
In fact, this is not the case, because then, as soon as Zulong dies, the world collapses.
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 first two years, it would definitely be of great benefit to the situation in Jin. The people of Jin would also be able to feel the pressure from the emperor more directly, which would also help. To win people's hearts.
Of course, political factors aside, 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."
"Ah."
"We need to discuss it carefully for two more days to make it easier for our uncle to make adjustments when he faces 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,
Road:
"Are you praising my uncle?"
With the Savage King's intelligence, he couldn't figure out for a moment whether this was a sarcasm or a sarcasm.
The blind man said:
"Your way of dealing with people 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 devils licked round after round,
As a result, the master's current excitement threshold is getting higher and higher.
The Savage King said:
"Getting back to the subject, just one academic secretary is not enough. The smell of blood will not linger. We have to find out a group of families suspected of impostors. At least, we have to form a queue to behead at the market entrance."
"To do this, it's not enough for me to be my uncle's personal bodyguard."
"So, we have to mobilize our troops." The Savage King replied.
The blind man lost another son,
Road:
"Outside Yingdu City, there are three major battalions. One is the Jin auxiliary army with more than 1 troops. The other is the former Eastern Expeditionary Army with [-] troops. The other is the Jingnan Army with [-] troops.
You say, which one to choose? "
Yingdu is the most important city in Chengguo, and it is also the center that radiates to the entire Chengguo. During wartime, it is also a transfer point for money, food and supplies. There are only [-] soldiers in the outer city, which seems a bit small, but you must know that Yingdu’s There are garrisons on the periphery, on the bank of Wangjiang River, and 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 let out to do things. Both the uncle and Mr. Bei in front of him wanted to test him.
Immediately said:
"Haha, the Jin army was raised by maidservants. They themselves think that they are this status. They dare not move around. There is no point in oppressing them.
It is enough to use the three thousand Jingnan troops. It is enough for three thousand Jingnan troops to enter the city and seize the Suo Na people.
The Jingnan Army moved, but 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 move and made a series of four.
Road:
"In what name are we deploying troops?"
The savage king abandons his son and admits defeat,
Road:
"I have mobilized troops in the name of Marquis Jingnan. It is true and false, real 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, a discerning person will understand. Eyes, he also has to weigh it."
"But, there is no tiger charm."
The Savage King laughed "haha",
Road:
"It sounds like the tiger talisman was given to our uncle when the Marquis of Jingnan asked us to send orders to kill the prisoners!"
……
The killings by the Academic Affairs Department are still continuing.
The sword master in white clothes was sitting in a tea shed supported by the roadside, drinking tea. Opposite him, sitting carefully, Chen Daole.
Brainless and unhappy were also organized into the Guards Battalion.
He Chunlai was good at making candied haws, which Jian Maid liked to eat, so Jian Maid wanted He Chun Lai to come out with her again. Then Fan Li helped her intercede in front of Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan agreed.
Since I thought of He Chunlai, I naturally brought Chen Daole along with me.
On the roof diagonally opposite, Chen Daxia was squatting there.
Yingdu is not Uncle Zheng’s home ground.
With three hundred personal guards, after entering the Department of Education, the number of guards around Uncle Zheng was naturally reduced.
Because the demon kings stayed behind, sent out, and injured, even the blind man had to keep an eye on the Savage King. Therefore, when he came out this time, the protective force around Uncle Zheng was 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 dislike him for being too safe.
Chen Daxia's sword was dripping with blood. He had already killed three people who came to check 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 "ears to repay the gods".
Daxia Chen 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 also allow the big families in Yingdu to feel the scene here more directly.
Chen Daxia felt that he couldn't figure out this reason, but fortunately he had an advantage. If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.
He enjoyed the feeling of using the sword in front of the sword master,
Even though the sword master was just sitting there drinking tea without looking up, Daxia Chen felt that the sword master should be able to feel it.
But actually,
Chen Daole knows,
The sword master propped his chin with his right hand,
Have been asleep for a while.
Chen Daole also reached out several times to help drive away flies.
Most people still look up to the Sword Master.
look 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 descendant of the Chen family, he only wanted to restore the country, but after going to Xuehaiguan, seeing the scenes at Xueguanguan, and following Uncle Zheng into Chu, his thoughts suddenly changed a little.
The sword master opened his eyes at this moment,
Sighing slightly,
He picked up the cup and took a sip of herbal tea.
“Do you look back here again, 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,
He immediately replied respectfully:
"Yes."
The sword master slightly rotated the cup in his hand,
Road:
"People, it's better not to live too tiredly, because you will find that even if you are exhausted, what should happen will eventually happen."
"Yes, my lord."
"I like Xuehaiguan very much. People there have a place to live and food to eat."
This winter,
In the snow customs,
Juggernaut is very comfortable;
Because no one dies of cold or starvation.
Even a peaceful year is extremely rare.
Chen Daole wanted to say something: The living conditions of the soldiers and civilians in Xuehaiguan were obtained through plundering from the outside. For example, in order to allow the soldiers and civilians in Xuehaiguan to have a sip of broth in winter and the children to drink goat milk,
The Naiman tribe selflessly gave everything they had.
The sword master continued:
"Now, I just want to be comfortable for myself, and the place I see with my eyes can make me feel 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 were walking on the street.
The reason why they are said to be father and son is because they look alike.
Both father and son were 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.
Zhang Yiqing also saw Chen Daole. He didn't 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 general 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 and raised his hands to the Sword Master.
Road:
"I really didn't expect that you are actually here, sir."
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 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,
Road:
"Do what?"
Zhang Pinghang said respectfully: "I have two nephews who are officials in the Department of Academic Affairs."
"Oh."
The sword master responded,
immediately,
The Sword Master seemed to feel that his response was a little too cold. After all, he and himself were old friends;
Therefore, the sword master plans to reply with a few more words:
"Just pretend that these two relatives are not there."
"..." Zhang Pinghang.
hesitated for a moment,
Zhang Pinghang opened his mouth and said;
"Sir, I feel that Mr. 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."
"..." Zhang Pinghang.
Even if you have thousands of reasons,
You can't beat me,
It can completely block you.
Zhang Pinghang sighed,
turn around,
Signing for his son to leave with him.
He was not going to save the man.
Even if, in the opinion of the hero Chen above, he is a swordsman who is better than himself in swordsmanship.
But in this world, among those who use swords, how many would 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:
"Hold on."
Zhang Pinghang stopped.
"In the past, when you helped Situ Lei as a lobbyist and borrowed a sword from me, you promised me that you would see me a better Dajin. You broke your promise."
Is the current Dajin good?
not good,
really not good,
And it's very bad.
Zhang Pinghang took a deep breath and bowed before the Sword Master.
Road:
"I would like to be punished by my lord."
immediately,
Zhang Pinghang took off the sword in his hand and seemed to have no intention of resisting. His son Zhang Yiqing beside him looked extremely anxious.
"to make."
The sword master placed the tea cup on the table.
Pointing in front of me,
Road:
"Help me pay for the tea."
