Chapter 234: How Long Is Tonight?
Li Xian walked out of the deep alley with the little boy in his arms, his eyes getting brighter and more determined.
As far as the eye can see, a long line of torches illuminates this "hell", and most of the officials who come and go look unhappy, the sewage in the ditches smells bad, and the fire has not been able to dispel the flies hovering here, and they are unkind to the inhabitants here, kicking and scolding at every turn.
The dust has settled.
When the original panic was calmed down, they fell into a deeper fear, from the government, from the law, thin cheeks, shriveled eyes, and a flattering smile.
Perhaps what they want most at this time is for everything to return to its original trajectory.
But when these officials saw Li Xian come out, their faces were filled with strong awe and respect, as if they were not much different from the residents who poured night incense at this time.
Li Xian nodded, the corners of his mouth seemed to be curled, and he quickly pursed his lips.
Let's be honest......
Because of this battle, the people here have become an unstable time bomb, and the army and the yamen are all dispatched, for fear that these frightened people will rush outside and cause even greater panic.
In fact, regardless of whether the residents living in the [Poured Night Incense] are garbage or not, or whether they can be discarded at will like feces and urine, at least ...... At least on the bright side, at this point in time, the government will not resort to violent means to suppress it unless it is absolutely necessary.
After all, even the Si Tianjian, who is an intelligence agency, sent the Isu Department to lend a helping hand to solve the root cause of the riot, which shows that the people here have not been abandoned.
Alive......
No matter how you live, there will always be a little hope in life.
On the other hand, perhaps for the government, the battle happened here as a blessing in misfortune.
"General......
Li Xian looked up, and there was a soldier from the Yishanzi battalion walking towards him, and he came to Li Xian with a brand new armor in his eyes, with reverence and awe in his eyes.
He looked at the immature-looking little soldier in front of him, the corners of his mouth outlined a gentle smile, nodded, took the brand new armor, and handed the little boy in his arms to him, and asked him to take care of it.
Then he found a remote corner and changed into a new armor.
This new armor is still in the likeness of two or five hundred lords...... I just don't know which brother is so understanding and specially sent someone to send it over!
It stands to reason that he should leave at this time, and the next things in this place are none of his business, as long as Li Xian obediently returns to the mansion, then naturally someone will come to him.
But after thinking about it, he did not choose to leave immediately, but after looking around, he found a low house that 'stood out from the crowd', stepped on it, simply sat down, put his hands on his knees, and looked at the land from afar.
Order was restored again, and the troops in the far distance walked like silent steel machines on the special official road and gradually moved away, and the black shadows flying past on the rooftops began to disperse in all directions.
The rest will be left to the Spiegel Division and the officials in the yamen to deal with.
But...... He saw two familiar people, the doctor Guo Anmin and his junior sister Wen Jing, talking to the head catcher in charge of the place in a crowd dressed as doctors.
His junior sister was beside him.
He is doing what he can, the doctor Guo Anmin, the world and the people...... As the name suggests!'
Thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
Li Xian suddenly raised his eyes and saw the direction of the other side in the far distance, where a sharp and cold sword intent burst out, and it was fleeting.
'It seems that the blood of tonight is far from finished......
Shangdang County has not been so "lively" for decades, and as the barbarians are completely expelled to the depths of the endless grassland, the weight of the government is getting higher and higher, and even the top Jianghu sects have to defend themselves under the power of the tiger, not to mention those so-called evil demons.
Taking advantage of the free time now, Li Xian began to think about the gains and losses of his shot this time.
First of all......
Although it took him a lot of mental power and Qi to release the [Burning City] at the beginning, the later deficit was completely replenished by the Blood Qi obtained from killing the arrogant insects, which was still a small profit!
On the other hand, this move will cause such a big movement, and neither he nor Yunxi can escape part of the responsibility, no matter which aspect it is, it can barely offset the merits.
If the arrogant insects don't do anything to the people around them, Li Xian will only hide in the dark and watch the excitement and won't make a move at all, and he doesn't care about Jiang Ru's life or death at all.
But...... She did it.
This touched his bottom line, and Li Xian would not ignore it since he saw it.
Do something, don't do something.
......
"It's not me...... It's not me, grown-ups!"
Hysterical cries erupted in the distance from the crowd.
Li Xian had a cold face, raised the curtain to look at the crying crowd in the distance, and continued to think about his own affairs with two minds.
In the people, Si Tianjian's reputation is not much better, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to make children stop crying, and it is very effective at this time.
A thin man hiding in the crowd was identified by everyone, and just as he wanted to escape, he was broken by a servant, and the ghost-headed broadsword on the side had been waiting for a long time, kicking his knee and cutting down with a cold blade.
Die!
The laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, with Legalism as the core, will never let go of anyone who dares to provoke its majesty so easily, cruelty and strictness are its keynote.
On the other hand, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!
If you dare to do it, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.
Thoughts wander the ground.
In fact, Li Zhao has already done it for him...... However, there is still a little selfishness in this, everything about Wu Jun's various plans, schools, etc., is just to select reliable subordinates, and Li Zhao is a veritable good man for the people at the bottom.
When even surviving has become an intractable problem, who cares if they are being used by others, maybe they wish to be used like this, at least survive, and live better, right?
Thinking, thinking, a chuckle appeared on the corner of Li Xian's mouth.
The idea of doing what he can for the people is strong, but his current identity is extremely sensitive.
Soldier......
Protecting the family and defending the country is already within one's power in terms of identity, and beyond this step, it will be overstepping!
Regardless of whether the intention is good or not, if you do it now, you will only get into a commotion, because in the eyes of others, it may not be like that.
Want to be good to the people? Do you need a two-to-five-hundred-hundred-master to do it? Have you done your job well?
When you are other officials, you eat dry food, and you need to worry about a big soldier?
So......
Li Xian could only hold down his restless heart at the moment, and wait...... Wait, it's almost there!
Pure white snowflakes slipped before his eyes.
Li Xian raised his head, and the fluttering snow finally fell again, and when it fell on him, it slid aside as if it had encountered an invisible barrier, and said in a mocking tone: "Yo...... Coming back?"
Ji Yunxi, dressed in white, appeared behind him, with a graceful demeanor and a folding fan in his hand, he was really a handsome man.
"I knew it was you when I looked at the red flames in the sky...... I don't want the general I want to recruit to die like this. ”
"Hehehe...... Li Xian teased, "How are you...... You didn't suffer, did you?"
A fluttering white look, brand new.
When this kid came over, he deliberately changed into a new dress.
"Huh...... With this kind of jumping clown, it was completely solved with a wave of his hand. Ji Yunxi 'snorted' with a folding fan, his face was extremely thick, and the corners of his mouth showed a disdainful smile. "But it's a good opponent......"
In the last sentence, his tone was a little complicated, and he couldn't help but recall Fang Cai's scene.
He had already come to find trouble with a belly of depression, but he was also given a trick by others, and when he came to his senses, he had already appeared outside the city of Shangdang.
That man did cause him a lot of trouble, and it did force him to use all his strength to deal with it.
Merely...... What he didn't expect was that the man actually stopped attacking at such an important juncture, and turned the essence spirit of his whole body into a live target as if he had been drawn out, and was burned to ashes in the next second.
Ji Yunxi was not stupid, he could see several pillars of fire that seemed to reach the sky coming out of the original [Poured Night Incense], and it was not difficult to think of what had happened.
"Forget it...... It's all over anyway. He thought to himself.
For a moment, the two fell into a silent silence.
Because Ji Yunxi saw the group of skinny and dirty people in the distance, his eyes were complicated, and he lost the interest in speaking for a while.
Li Xian was simply too lazy to speak.
It was at this time......
A man dressed as a fast catcher appeared in front of the two, and said with a respectful expression towards Li Xian, "Lord Li two or five hundred, Lu Taishou will let you go." ”
'Old Lu, it's coming......
Li Xian got up, nodded, and said to Ji Yunxi, "Let's go first......"
Before the words fell, Ji Yunxi had already disappeared.
"Let's go......" Li Xian said towards the catcher.
'It seems...... It's Jiang Ru's turn. ’
To be honest, he was also very curious about what this guy had found out, and he was able to make such a big move, so that a master who was a few masters in the Unity Realm would personally kill him!
"General...... Please. The catcher hurriedly said politely.
Li Xian nodded.
The figures of the two melted into the heavy snow, and they saw two fast horses running in the direction of the Spiegel Division.
......
......
Night, time.
Shangdang, Gongsun Mansion.
This Gongsun Mansion is not the Gongsun Mansion, it is the mansion of Gongsun Yan, the courtyard wall is tall and strict, and there are rows of jet-black tiles in the distance, which are divided into front, middle and back three, at this time the house is brightly lit, and the atmosphere of slaughter is extremely strong.
The guards who came and went were all with obvious battlefield murderous arrogance, patrolling back and forth with knives and guns in their hands, and one by one the passing maids and subordinates lowered their heads, looked nervous, pursed their lips and hurried by, they held hot water basins, silk scarves, and herbs in their hands, and trotted straight in the direction of the backyard.
When a girl stepped into the backyard, she couldn't help but raise her head to look at the night sky, where the vast snow occupied the entire line of sight, and then hurried to the room in the center.
The sound of angry scolding came faintly.
"How long has it been tonight? ”
