Chapter 350: Hexology
"The taxes levied by Yingzheng are so high, and the amount of forced labor is outrageous, and the people now are living in the same misery and darkness?" one person argued.
"It's not that I want to speak for Your Majesty, it's just that I can't get used to you righteous people who claim to conform to the will of the people. Although His Majesty's levy of taxes and forced labor was heavy, these two types were not only started in the Qin Dynasty. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which of the original six states did not annex the rest of the vassal states? If the six states were unified by the state of Qi or the state of Chu, the status quo would not necessarily be better than it is now. After all, it's just a matter of becoming a king or defeating a villain, and it is extremely hypocritical to give yourself the name of a righteous man. ”
Everyone who said something was smoking, and they couldn't refute it for a while, so they could only stare at the young man anxiously and angrily.
Gu Yue said and looked at Wan Ruize, with obvious disdain in his eyes, "Do you know why I look down on you and never regard you as an opponent?" Although Yunqi hates it to death, he is very real to himself. He is on the side of evil and you are on the side of righteousness. To be honest, you're a lot more disgusting than him. ”
"You're looking for death!" Wan Ruize gritted his teeth.
"Don't you just want to see me defeat and satisfy your poor vanity. But you don't look in the mirror, whether you have your brain or skills, what is there compared to me?"
Wan Ruize was trembling with anger, this was not the result he wanted. He longed to see Gu Yue breathing in a low voice, kneeling on his knees with his thighs and begging for mercy.
But why is he a prisoner, and he is still so arrogant!
No, no, this is Gu Yue's usual trick, he must want to provoke himself in order to get a chance to escape.
Wan Ruize took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then squatted down, and the fish intestine sword approached a few points, forcing Gu Yue to look up at him, "What if you bully more and less, what if you win or not, what you said yourself, it's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a villain." ”
Gu Yue smiled back meaninglessly, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
Wan Ruize hated Gu Yue's eyes that ignored him the most, and pressed his left hand vigorously on the wound in his abdomen, his face was hideous: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so simply, Qin Guo has a lot of torture, you will definitely beg me one day." ”
Gu Yue inhaled the cold air, and his face finally changed. The wound on the abdomen was maliciously torn by Wan Ruize, the corners of his eyebrows throbbed violently, and the cold sweat dripped, dripping onto the fish intestine sword in Wan Ruize's hand, making a cracking sound.
"Jing Shaoxia, this person is quite virtuous, he can be killed, not humiliated. "The one who spoke was the big man who made the knife to Gu Yue at the beginning.
"That's what he pretended to show you!" Wan Ruize's face was full of displeasure, and he finally let Gu Yue cross in and compete with him, if he died like this, it was really meaningless, he hadn't tortured enough!
"A person's character and integrity cannot be pretended. I heard that he asked Yingzheng to exempt the people of Lang Xie and Rongcheng from taxes...... Jing Shaoxia, I want to ask now. Is this person really as you say, a person who is clever and deceives the world?"
As a ranger of the Warring States period, he traveled the world with a good kung fu and a war knife. When he encountered injustice, he stepped forward to draw his sword to help, and he made a name for himself among the rangers.
Not long ago, he heard that Jing Ke's son had returned with a world-famous sword in his hand, and in just a few days, he persuaded a group of righteous rangers to plan to carry out an assassination on the way out of Yingzheng.
He happened to be passing by this place and was forcibly pulled in by someone he knew.
I have to say that Jing Li, the son of Jing Ke, still has some ability, and it is said that he is still a child of the Mo family. You must know that the status of the Mohists in the hearts of the rangers is as lofty as the status of Confucius in the hearts of Confucians.
This Jing Li can be regarded as a masterpiece, and his analysis and insights into the situation in the world are very unique. In addition, he also has a very accurate judgment on some things, which is the biggest reason why he convinced the righteous rangers in just a few days.
He predicted that in the next few days, a young man would approach Yingzheng, who was clever and very good at attacking the heart. Jing Li asserted that it wouldn't be long before the young man would make a move on Zhao Gao and Li Si, replace them, and become the most favored slanderer by Ying Zheng's side.
Sure enough, today Meng Yi appeared on Ying Zheng's side with a young man, after the rescue, this person didn't know what to say to Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao, who was waiting on Ying Zheng's side on weekdays, was immediately sent to Rongcheng.
At this time, the righteous rangers were even more convinced by Jing Yueyue. Jing Li struck while the iron was hot, saying that he actually knew this person, and then told everyone about this person's bad past.
All the righteous rangers were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this, and they couldn't wait to immediately arrest Gu Yue and divide the five horses, so there was this booby trap.
And for Gu Yue, a person who is full of evil and intolerable by heaven, everyone will be punished. These righteous rangers are eager to slash this person's head in order to add glory to their combat careers, and where would they care about the problem of a small number of people in battle.
Although the sword man looks a little rougher, he is a person with a sharp mind. He has traveled the world for many years, and he can be regarded as having seen all kinds of people. In the past few days of contact with Jing Li, although the other party has shown jealousy and hatred, he has always felt a strange feeling that cannot be explained.
Therefore, he is one of the few people who has reservations among the righteous rangers. The reason why he was the first to make the first move just now was because he didn't want to besiege with everyone, and wanted to see if he could take Gu Yue alone.
After the righteous men joined, he withdrew from the encirclement. In his opinion, so many people deal with one person, even if this young man is really a master of Guiguzi, the end will be a fiasco. Then why did he lose the dignity of a ranger and do something that insulted his bottom line. Anyway, there is no more of him, and it doesn't matter if there is less of him.
However, it was precisely because of the sidelines that he could see some details clearly. Is this resolute and bright-eyed young man really as heinous as Jing Li's mouth says?
How does he think that at this moment, the faces of these righteous rangers are more like villains who have lost their conscience.
"Why did Brother Nie speak for him, have you forgotten how Yingzheng ruined our country? This person is Yingzheng's favorite minister, and removing him is like cutting off Yingzheng's arm. Brother Nie has always had clear grievances, how can he have compassion for the enemy at this moment?" The person who spoke was a ranger who forcibly brought Nie Canghe.
"That is, killing this person is undoubtedly saving the world. The other man was righteous.
"Even the common people can't save your stupidity!" Gu Yue sneered, heard the footsteps getting closer and closer in the alley, lowered his head, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
"Jing Shaoxia, Ying Zheng seems to have sent guards to search for people?" One of them also heard the footsteps, walked quickly to the door, looked through the crack in the door, and came back and said in a low voice, "Kill him or knock him out and take him back?"
As soon as this person's voice fell, he suddenly shook all over his body. He looked at a small hole in his heart with some incredulity, and fell down with wide eyes just like the four people who clamped Gu Yue's hands and feet.
In the dark night, at some point, countless imperceptible golden threads appeared, and every time the golden light flashed, there would be a muffled sound of the body falling to the ground.
Wan Ruize's reaction was not bad, the moment the golden thread appeared, there was a warning in his mind, his scalp exploded, and he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the vital point. As it was, the sharp gold thread also made a small hole in his right shoulder.
"How is that possible?" Wan Ruize looked at Gu Yue angrily, completely unaware of why he still had the strength to burst out. I didn't expect that he would condense a weapon from killing intent here, and he also caused real lethality to ordinary people.
"W-What is this?" The other untouched righteous rangers retreated one after another as they looked at the golden threads stained with blood droplets and glowing with a cold sheen.
However, in the process of retreating, he accidentally touched the gold thread, and one arm fell to the ground from the body, or there was a pain in the leg, and the body was still retreating, but the foot remained in place forever.
"Demon, demon!" said another, his voice trembling. Everyone was shocked, and they no longer had the chivalrous style just now, and they all froze in place in a panic, not daring to move.
"Bad pen!" Gu Yue removed the gold thread, hooked his fingers, and made a few "swishs", and the closed door was torn apart.
"Here!" Hearing the movement, a team of guards under Ying Zheng immediately rushed into the courtyard.
"Withdraw!" As soon as these guards came in, Wan Ruize knew that Gu Yue should remove the golden thread, so he immediately made a decision, and jumped onto the roof with the rest of the righteous rangers, intending to escape.
Gu Yue used the golden thread to block the departure of a small number of people, but the injuries were too serious and some were powerless. Fortunately, the guards arrived in time and put their knives on the necks of these righteous rangers who were frightened by the golden thread.
Gu Yue pulled a golden wire as a string, and then let several strands of gold wire intertwine into an arrow, pulled the string with his left hand, aimed at Wan Ruize's departing figure, and shot the arrow out with a "whoosh".
Wan Ruize fell from the arrow, Gu Yue was also exhausted, his body shook, and he was about to fall forward.
"Sir!" A guard of no lower rank supported Gu Yue in time, looking at the injuries on the young man's body, he was also shocked.
"Meng Yi asked you to come?" Gu Yue asked. This person should be Meng Yi's personal soldier, and he has seen Meng Yi on his side a few times.
"Your Majesty and the general are worried that Mr. is in danger, so they specially asked their subordinates to bring people to help. The subordinates were ashamed, but they were still one step too late, so that Mr. was injured. ”
"It's not too late. Gu You said in a hoarse voice, sure enough, Zhuo Ling knew how to cooperate with him the most, and didn't let him wait in vain.
"Sir, these assassins ......"
"A group of blind people who are blinded by the so-called righteous chivalry, if they stay, they will only blindly follow the wind, and they will all be killed. ”
"Yes!" the Captain of the Guards waved his hand.
"Wait. Gu Yue caught a glimpse of the big man who made the sword, "This person is still clear-sighted, and he has not lost his original intention...... Spare him his life. ”
Nie Canghe was prepared to die, but he was slightly stunned when he heard this, "If it was because I said a few words for you, you wouldn't have to spare my life." ”
Gu Yue looked at him, kicked the broadsword in front of him, and said, "Take care of yourself!"
Nie Canghe looked at the departing figure of the young man in distraction, then looked at the corpses on the ground, sat on the ground for a long time, and finally held a broadsword and stayed far behind Gu Yue.
