The devil is coming

Chapter 631 Kneel down!
Magistrate Ma was stripped naked.
Hanging on the city wall.
Because the weather is cold,
People who are good at cooking have much more delicate thoughts, so He Chunlai went down below and lit a big fire pot for Magistrate Ma to keep him warm;
In addition, even though his clothes were stripped off, Magistrate Ma was still thoughtfully covered with straw.
No matter what,
After all, the Marquis didn't say he was going to be tortured to death, right?
It's really killing me,
On the contrary, people like him don't know how to do things.
But because a big fire pot was raised here, it was very conspicuous after nightfall, so it attracted many refugees from outside the city. They gathered here, silently admiring the high-ranking Yupan City Magistrate at this time...
Cold attitude.
But no one dared to sing and dance, no one dared to cheer, no one even dared to point a finger.
Everyone looked numb.
On the other end of the city wall, the figure of Lord Zheng appeared, and beside him stood Gou Moli.
Behind them stood Sword Master and Chen Daxia.
Gou Moli's eyes flickered with the fire of teasing. He liked to see this scene and enjoyed it.
Chen Daxia was a little more compassionate. What he was looking at was the dense crowd of refugees under the city.
And the Juggernaut, who is already somewhat immune to refugees,
Sadly,
It is the land of Sanjin today.
Once upon a time, when Gou Moli was still imprisoned in the Snow Customs Dungeon, the Sword Master would ask the blind man to bring him out from time to time to chat with him.
The sword master at that time,
I just experienced the battle in front of Snow Customs.
Highlighted,
It was also too high,
It hasn’t had time to settle yet;
Therefore, the Sword Master asked Gou Moli: Do we have to go through this whole thing?
Gou Moli's answer was: You asked because you saw me losing.
A chaos of barbarians entering the pass,
Most of the Jin land was stirred up,
The people were displaced and there were numerous casualties;
Of the 10,000+ young savages themselves, few returned to the snowfields. Most were annihilated, and the rest were used as laborers and died of exhaustion on the construction site.
but,
What if you win?
The savages will leave the snowfield and embrace the warmth of Jindi again.
The sword master asked again: At the moment, is it worth it?
Gou Moli replied: If you don't do it, you will be a dog. Now, you are still a dog. Anyway, you are still a dog, so why not give it a try?
Because Gou Moli would not just flatter others, but would tell the truth, the Sword Master would chat with him when he was recovering from his injuries. At that time, Gou Moli would also get an extremely precious opportunity to see the sunshine;
The sword master asked one last question that day: Does it have to be like this?
In fact, the sword master may not even know what he is asking.
But Gou Moli answered a lot,
He says,
Look at His Majesty from Yan State, what kind of person is he?
Thousands of years ago, it was the foundation of a generation of wise kings and heroes.
He doesn't know how to win a good reputation?
Didn't he know that after going to war, he would have to compromise on his good name and posthumous title?
Doesn't he know that blood will flow into a river after a horse steps on a door?
He doesn't know that behind the march of the army are millions of civilians supporting him, and doesn't he know that the people in his own country are struggling to make a living?
to be honest,
No matter how hard the people live, it is nothing more than starving some people to faint and starving to death. As long as this country is still there, as long as this court is still there, we can survive the disaster years.
most afraid,
In fact, after the country is overrun by foreign enemies, human life is really worthless.
If you have no food to eat, you can eat leaves, chew tree barks, and eat grass. At worst, you can make two meals of Guanyin soil until you are half full!
But if the knife cuts your head, can you still change the position and continue to breathe?
The country of Yan, if you don’t take advantage of his presence and this great situation, try your best to fight out and conquer all directions, haha;
The common people may scold him, and the history books may slander him.
But for thousands of generations,
To destroy the country and destroy the country, that is the true misery of bones everywhere!
It's just like,
You Jin people!
……
Therefore, when looking at the refugees under Yupan City, the Sword Master did not feel much pity in his heart;
Firstly, because too many people were questioning him, threatening him, and accusing him of the people of Jin, and he was tired of it;
The second reason is that he saw the refugees inside and outside Fengxin City, who could eat potato paste, and he lived in an ordinary home, so he could see hope for the future from the expressions of his family members.
everything,
will get better.
Sometimes, the Sword Master himself discovered that he seemed to be willing to be deceived by Zheng Fan;
Because starting from Shengle City, to Xueguan Customs, and then to Litian City,
The sword master realized a truth,
Learning the sword cannot save the people of Jin.
Instead of letting his Long Yuan continue to be aloof, rather than letting his white clothes be spotless;
But that only makes oneself free, and what good is it to the country and the people?
This one in front of me,
he,
As well as his subordinates whose abilities are so powerful that even the sword master can't help but marvel,
It can really allow people to live a prosperous life.
sword,
Be grounded;
The earth atmosphere here is truly earth energy;
Judging from the result of his nearly sudden death when he opened the second grade last time,
perhaps,
He can use the energy of the earth to draw down the power of the second-level realm for support, so that his body can bear less pressure and consumption.
And the atmosphere of the earth,
where is it?
The sword master's eyes couldn't help but fall on the back of the man in front of him.
Half my life, traveling around the world;
Fight, fight,
The heroes of the world have been killed;
The king of a country has been killed;
But from what I saw and heard, the person in front of me who lived the most down-to-earth life was definitely the one in front of me.
Lord Zheng didn’t know,
I am standing here now,
didn't say anything,
But it has already become the target of the Sword Master's "enlightenment".
Fortunately, I don’t know.
Otherwise, for Mr. Zheng, who is still worried about the delay in opening the realm, it would be an extremely depressing blow.
And Lord Zheng,
In fact, right now, I'm not thinking about anything at all.
He just came up to get some air and blow some wind, that's really all.
At this moment, Daxia Chen couldn't help but want to speak:
"Why is this prefect so stupid?"
Anyone who can be called "stupid" by Master Chen is the truth...
Gou Moli smiled and said:
"Do you think everyone in Yan is extremely smart? Whenever there are too many people in a place, the majority are usually fools.
There are also many fools in the Yan Kingdom, such as that one. Do you think he doesn't know that it's too intrusive to give a woman away so obviously?
If you pretend that he doesn't know, by doing this, is it actually him who suffers the most damage to his official reputation?
He knew it, but he still did it because he felt that this way he could get closer and become a lackey under our Lord Marquis.
But he was stupid because he misjudged one thing. "
Saying that, Gou Moli paused.
Master Chen immediately asked: "What's the matter?"
Gou Moli nodded with satisfaction and said:
“He can be shameless, but our Lord, we need to be shameless.
He didn't even think about it,
If he gave a woman to Li Liangting and King Jingnan in a big way, what would be the end? "
"Well." Master Chen said thoughtfully, "I seem to understand a little bit."
Gou Moli lowered his head again and looked at the magistrate who was hanging there.
snorted coldly,
Disdain:
"Really, despite the fact that Dayan now has unparalleled cavalry, conquers the country, and is invincible in battles, it is by no means that everyone in Yan is smart. It's just those at the top who lead the way well, including our Lord Marquis."
Zheng Fan glanced at Gou Moli, who immediately shut up.
"Go back and rest."
……
Magistrate Ma was untied at dawn. Because he had some kung fu skills, he was not frozen to death, but he was still very cold.
The most important thing is that this face can be said to have been stepped into the quagmire.
Moreover, after this incident, he probably won't be able to hold the position of magistrate of Yupan City for long. If he doesn't find it embarrassing, the court will find it embarrassing.
Lord Pingxi's team also left Yupan City at dawn and crossed Wangjiang River.
Long awaited,
The Marquis of Pingxi is finally coming to Yingdu. For the group of dignitaries in Yingdu who have been in panic for some time, they are extremely excited.
After all,
Lord Zheng gradually became the King of Jingnan,
where is he,
Wherever you can feel at ease.
I didn’t realize it before because I only focused on climbing up. After I climbed up to the high platform and looked around and below me, I realized that there was good scenery everywhere.
just,
After crossing Wangjiang River, Lord Pingxi's team did not go straight to Yingdu, but turned to the north.
……
"What, Ping Xihou went to Shishan?"
In less than half a day, many dignitaries in Yingdu expressed similar surprises after learning the news.
Obviously there is still a prince who is not awake in Yingdu.
Obviously the governor of Yingdu is still in bed.
It is obvious that everyone here in Yingdu is in panic.
Since Lord Pingxi has already passed Wangjiang, why hasn't he come over to take charge of the overall situation?
stone mountain,
This place is naturally familiar to Yingdu people.
In fact, from a geographical point of view, the land of Sanjin is more like a large basin. To the north is the Tianduan Mountains, to the west is the Horseshoe Mountains, and to the south is the Mengshan Qishan Mountains.
There are not many real mountains in the country.
Shishan is more than a hundred miles away from Yingdu. The mountain is not high, but it is the resting place of the heads of the Situ family in the past.
In the earliest days, when the Situ family was still a vassal of the Yu family, their old territory was in the Shishan area. Later, as the Situ family grew stronger, the headquarters also moved from Shishan to Yingdu. Later, as the three families were divided, The structure of Jin was finalized, and finally Situ Lei proclaimed himself emperor;
No matter how the Situ family develops, grows or changes, Shishan is still the location of the Situ family's "ancestral tomb", and Situ Lei's "imperial mausoleum" is also in Shishan.
Then,
Lord Pingxi's team headed towards Shishan,
its purpose,
What is it?
In most cases of hesitation,
Finally someone took the lead in reacting.
The carriage of the Prince's Palace left the Palace. After a group of palace guards and a group of flags and cards were properly matched, it left the gate of Yingdu City and headed straight towards the Stone Mountain.
Although he deliberately maintained a calmness, the sense of hurry could not be hidden.
For a time,
The dignitaries in Yingdu have basically woken up.
Large cars and small cars, large teams and small teams, left the South City Gate one after another. The royal family’s team was at the front, followed by teams from various families behind. The big guys were rushing towards Shishan in a very noisy manner, although it was not said to be majestic. .
Here,
There are Yan people and Jin people.
But now, they have a unified title...the frightened ones.
They desperately need comfort and protection.
To a certain extent, what Gou Moli said that night was not entirely personal.
The Yan people who once went to war would also fall into depravity after becoming officials;
As for the Situ family, the old people of Yingdu, who once resisted the Xueyuan to the north and fought against Chu in the south, they had actually been castrated long ago.
The Yan people's rule over this place has not yet been completely implemented, but they themselves have already started to stick their butts out early;
If Sun Youdao hadn't been in trouble because of his eldest son, he really wouldn't have wanted to come out again, because the Yingdu where Situ Lei used to be was long gone;
Although the city walls of Yingdu still stand here, the people of Yingdu and the upper echelons of Yingdu have long exuded a rotten atmosphere that made Sun Youdao sick.
Of course, the old master was disdainful, but he still took his second son Sun Liang with him in his own carriage, under his own banner, and came with the large army.
Everyone is here. If you don’t come, it would be a political mistake.
Last time, an imperial examination fraud case caused such a bloody storm in Yingdu. This time, such a big thing happened, God knows how many heads will fall in the end!
There is even no need to distinguish who is responsible, who is at fault, who is guilty, and who is innocent, because the nature of the matter has changed from requiring results to requiring attitude.
If you don't come, you won't give Ping Xihou face;
If you don't give Ping Xihou face, Ping Xihou's knife will fall on your neck for no reason. Who is it to chop?
Although everyone left the city one after another,
But the team at Prince Cheng's Mansion didn't move too fast. At least, there was no sense of immediacy like little quails jumping madly into the arms of an old hen.
This also gave the big guys behind the opportunity to catch up. After catching up, everyone tacitly agreed to fall behind Prince Cheng's Mansion. To a certain extent, it was considered orderly.
at last,
Arriving at the boundary of Stone Mountain;
According to the news from people in front of me,
Ping Xihou's team went up to the north side of Shishan, where Situ Lei's tomb is located.
In fact, before Situ Lei, when the Situ family was almost a local emperor, the family head's mausoleum had long been overrun, and it was no different from the emperor's mausoleum.
Situ Lei had just become the head of the family and had not yet proclaimed himself emperor. He had already started building his own mausoleum as soon as he ascended the throne in accordance with the traditions of normal national dynasties.
Therefore, even when Situ Lei died later, there were rebels and savages outside, and the situation was very chaotic. Then there was the Yan people's Eastern Expedition and the King of Jingnan came out to take charge. One thing happened after another, but Situ Lei It can be buried safely, because the mausoleum has been fully repaired and can be used directly.
The gate of the mausoleum mountain,
There are some old eunuchs from the Dacheng Palace who took care of it, and there is also a group of guards to guard the tomb. They were Situ Lei's personal guards. They did not want to seek work from the Yan people, so they came here to guard the tomb for the late emperor.
However, when Pingxihou's troops arrived and showed Pingxihou's token, the guards guarding the tomb did not dare to stop them, and handed over all defenses in an orderly manner.
The Hou Mansion also saved face and sent them down the mountain without disarming them.
As for those eunuchs who were in charge, they were gathered together.
Ping Xihou wanted to pay homage to Emperor Taizu of Dacheng Kingdom in person and wanted to be quiet.
Emperor Taizu of Dacheng Kingdom and all other honors and honors were retained by Emperor Yan's decree. After all, to a certain extent, Emperor Yan introduced Situ Lei as a confidant, and he was a confidant in the "emperor" sequence.
Just when Dayan's cavalry crushed Wen's Helian family's soldiers and pointed directly at Situ's family,
Situ Lei deserves this respect because he dared to mobilize the country's elites to fight the wild people in the snowy fields and leave his behind completely to the Yan people.
Not to mention that before Situ Lei died, he fought hard to repel the powerful rebels and the savage coalition, saved Yingdu, and laid the foundation for the subsequent entry of the Yan army; this was also an extremely heroic achievement.
In front of the altar, Lord Zheng offered incense seriously;
The sword master also offered incense;
Chen Daxia heard that Situ Lei was a hero and became incense-stricken.
Gou Moli hesitated for a long time.
At last,
Muttered:
"Mom, I still have to worship you."
Walk forward and be the last to offer incense.
After adding incense,
The former Savage King was a little sad,
The once old rival is now lying underground.
Will he laugh at the fact that he has now become a hawk under others' feet?
Do not,
he died,
But I'm still alive.
You stupid thing, you still have the nerve to laugh at me?
So, Gou Moli stood there, his expression constantly changing.
If he had captured Yingdu, the Yan people would have lost an organized logistics transit place, and the coalition forces between him and the Chu people would not have fallen into an embarrassing situation of lack of food and manpower.
The war situation will be completely different.
"Master Marquis, Prince Cheng and others have arrived." He Chunlai came up to announce.
"Let them come up."
"Yes, Lord Hou."
Lord Zheng walked to the steps in front of the altar,
sat down.
Wuya Dao, put it by your side,
Today, I am wearing the set of mysterious armor given to me on the day I was granted the title of Marquis;
He just sat there,
Looking ahead, a group of people were climbing up the stairs.
……
"Oh, even when the emperor was alive and offering sacrifices, people would not be so thoughtful."
The Queen Mother was supported by Situ Yu and walked up. She looked back at the dense crowd behind her and couldn't help but said angrily.
This is the resting place of her husband;
Here, she is inevitably sentimental and sensitive.
Situ Yu, who had grown up and looked like a young man, didn't say anything to this, and just continued to help his mother up the mountain.
On the royal road to the mausoleum on both sides, stood the guards of the Hou Mansion wearing flying fish uniforms and carrying embroidered spring knives, giving people who went up the mountain a strong sense of oppression.
These personal guards are elite men who fought with Lord Zheng in battle. With the clothes on, it is hard not to be intimidating.
the most important is,
All the people who were going up the mountain actually didn't know what the new military meritorious prince was like, so naturally they felt a little worried.
at last,
When Situ Yu raised his head, he saw Lord Pingxi sitting there.
It’s not that he has never seen Zheng Fan before, he has seen him a long time ago;
But this time,
He was vaguely in a trance,
It seemed that the person sitting there was not Marquis Ping Xi, but the former Marquis Jingnan who had kicked the eldest prince over in front of him.
Situ Yu was not the only one who felt this way. His mother, a woman who was very sensible in the palace and knew how to advance and retreat, was already trembling slightly at this moment.
Situ Yu, who was holding her hand, felt it.
At this time, the dignitaries of Yingdu who came up the mountain in order of official position and status all slowed down almost at the same time.
What is a military hero?
This,
It’s the aura of the great Yan Jun Gonghou!
It was a status earned from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
Situ Yu let go of his mother's hand,
He is a contemporary prince,
He is Situ Lei's legitimate son,
Here,
It is his father’s tomb,
some things, some people,
He had to face it.
Therefore,
He went to the first one,
going up,
going up,
going up,
When the distance got closer, he could clearly see the face of Marquis Pingxi who was sitting there. When he was slightly hesitant to say hello to Marquis Pingxi with a more official etiquette or a slightly more intimate gesture;
Lord Pingxi sitting there,
Just slightly raised his eyes,
Glancing at him lightly,
Subsequently,
He spat out two words,
these two words,
This not only shocked Situ Yu, but also made the Queen Mother behind him and a group of dignitaries who had worked hard to come here feel very sad.
"Kneel down."
