The Xue family, one of the five major families in Yancheng, was removed from Yancheng by stomping his feet and making Yancheng tremble. Although the clan has not been wiped out, it is not far off.

Those Xue family members who were taken to the prison of the Criminal Department are no different from death.

On weekdays, the Xue family, who is arrogant and domineering, and dares to shout with his nose and the city lord Qi Wuwei when he is angry, is as fragile as paper in front of the imperial power. Blow casually, and it's gone.

Looking at the truckloads of wealth and materials, pulled out of the Xue family's warehouses and transported to the barracks, the remaining four major families and other wealthy families were all frightened, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for a while.

In particular, He Tongtian, the head of the He family, who thought through it, seemed to see a fat sheep raised by the owner taking out a knife and slaughtering it, and the cartload of wealth and materials was the fat cut from it, which was about to be enjoyed by the owner.

He Tongtian immediately ordered that half of the materials in the clan be donated to the empire free of charge. He wanted to use the knife to cut off the fat on his body before the master took out the knife, hoping that the master would lose his appetite for the skinny him.

Tang Yongning, the former head of the Tang family, jumped down from the roof of the building and muttered to himself: "I was wrong, I was very wrong, the ancestor was right." The strength of the family does not depend on the land industry and gold, silver and jewelry, and the shadow of the ancestors can only be blessed for a while, not for a lifetime, and the strength of the family depends on the awe-inspiring fist, otherwise it will be a dream bubble after all, and it will be broken as soon as it is blown. Even if I don't do anything over the years, the Tang family will still be one of the five major families, just because my Tang family has an ancestor in charge. Therefore, what the Tang family needs is not a Tang Yongning who is good at strategy and can make money, but a Tang Yongning who is as strong as the ancestor, or even stronger than the ancestor. ”

He went to his room, cleaned up briefly, took the ancestor's handwritten letter and went out of the house to the barracks.

The heads of the Yu family and the Ma family, as well as the big families attached to the city lord's mansion, as well as some of the wealthy gentry in the central city, were all in danger, and ordered the servants to put on the carriage and hurriedly went to the city lord's mansion, wanting to show favor to Qi Wuwei, but they were told by the guards at the door that the city lord was not in the mansion and went to the barracks before dawn.

Hearing that Qi Wuwei had gone to the barracks, many people's hearts trembled immediately, which made them can't help but think of the bad memories that Qi Wuwei used in just one night not long ago to uproot the forces they had been operating in the barracks for decades, and couldn't help but guess that Qi Wuwei went to the barracks overnight, and he didn't even show up for such a big thing as the extermination of the Xue family, is there going to be any big move again?

They guessed correctly, Qi Wuwei did make a big move when he went to the barracks.

Barrels of dark green liquid medicine were mixed out by the people of the Medicine King Valley and sent to all armies and battalions, from the general to the man, everyone had to take a sip.

This dark green liquid is Situ Qing's sleepless trick for the past few days, and he just prepared it last night for the big tooth man to change the color of his head and eyes, and he only needs to drink a small sip to make it work. Unless you are a star powerhouse, even if you know the effect of the potion in advance, you can't guard against it.

This is the power of the Medicine King Valley, which is unparalleled in the world in the road of Qihuang.

One day and one night, rivers of blood flowed.

76,200 people, including 5,000 senior officers and 16,000 middle and lower-ranking officers, this set of data made Qi Wuwei sweat and have palpitations.

But you must know that the defenders of Yancheng only have a total of 800,000, and there are more than 76,000 people, which means that almost one-tenth of the people are big teeth. Fortunately, it appeared in advance, otherwise these more than 70,000 people would suddenly be in trouble during the war, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Qi Wuwei can understand why Haoyue City and Jincheng are easily controlled by the Big Tooth people, and it is estimated that 90% of the defenders of the city are already Big Tooth people, and it is difficult to defend against the gods in one fell swoop.

On May 21, the sun rose in the east, the sky was cloudless, and it was another sunny day.

He didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, Qi Wuwei looked tired, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and fatigue was only a small factor, mainly because he was scared.

He was about to return to his house to rest, when there was an urgent military situation from the south, and the army of the anti-king Li Yuande had been assembled, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least three million troops. The horn has been sounded, and the soldiers are divided into three ways to rush towards Yancheng.

Three million troops, although this number was expected by Qi Wuwei, but as the military situation was presented in black and white, he still couldn't help but tighten his heart, as if he had pressed a mountain.

"Old general, the kid has helped you clear all the thorns that are secretly stumbling, and the next Yang conspiracy to fight head-on depends on your old age. Qi Wuwei respectfully saluted an old general wearing armor in the camp tent.

The old general is burly in appearance, with long cheeks and long beard, vigorous and shiny, eyebrows like blades, majestic eyes like tigers, and a face like a knife, sitting there without anger and self-authority. The old general's name is Qiu Zhan, and he is a famous general who has gone through dozens of battles.

"Haha-" Old General Qiu saw Qi Wuwei's worried expression, and laughed loudly, his voice was like a bell, and the camp tent trembled, and said, "Lord Qi, don't panic, so as not to mess up." It's just a rabble of three million temporary patchwork, with the old man here, Li Yuande can't even break the gate of Yancheng to ensure him. ”

"The kid has never experienced the baptism of war, and the big war is imminent, so he can't help but be nervous and anxious, which makes the old general see the joke. Qi Wuwei said with an embarrassed expression, but General Qiu's calmness made him take a reassuring pill.

"Lord Qi has worked too hard in the past two days, and it is inevitable that he will be mentally exhausted and nervous, so it is better to go back to his home and rest for a day, and recuperate enough to meet the upcoming war. General Qiu said, "The old man is fighting in front, and the adults in the rear have to control the overall situation." ”

"Then leave everything here to the old general. Qi Wuwei got up and said, "The fleas in the barracks have been cleaned up, and the fleas in the city must also be cleaned up as soon as possible." If the old general has nothing to order, the boy will take his leave and go back to the city to catch fleas. ”

The big war is coming, and he is full of things, and he can't sleep even if he is left in bed now, not to mention that there are so many big teeth and spies in the city to clean.

"Haha, go ahead. General Qiu waved his hand and advised: "However, you must also pay attention to rest and take care of your body." This war can't end in ten days and half a month, so don't burn down your body first. ”

"Thank you for the old general's care, the kid must pay attention to rest, and the old general must also rest more. ”

"Haha, okay. There you go. ”

Qi Wuwei left the barracks and did not return home, but went straight to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the big tooth spy caught from the Xue family was subjected to a day and a night of torture and interrogation, and all the recruits were recruited.

The presiding judge handed Qi Wuwei a list as thick as an account book.

Qi Wuwei opened it and looked at it for a while, his face was cloudy, and then he slammed the roster on the table and shouted: "Kill what should be killed, catch what should be caught, and you can't let go of any of them!"

"Yes. The presiding judge was ordered to leave.

A black-robed man appeared silently beside Qi Wuwei like a ghost.

"How many times have I told you, when I came, I made a little noise, and I was scared by you every once in a while, and my heart was about to die. Qi Wuwei was taken aback by the black-robed man, and couldn't help but complain about his appearance.

The black-robed man ignored Qi Wuwei's complaints, took out a booklet from the sleeve of his robe, handed it to Qi Wuwei, and said, "This is the list of families that have changed in the five cities in the north and south on this day and night after the Xue family was exterminated yesterday. ”

Qi Wuwei took the list and returned it to the black-robed man, and said in a deep voice: "All."

Keep an eye on it, as long as you find conclusive evidence, immediately let Zhao Quan take someone to clean up. ”

"Yes. The black-robed man took the order to leave, and his figure flickered, disappearing into Qi Wuwei's sight like a phantom.

When Qi Wuwei returned to the City Lord's Mansion after dealing with all the big and small things, it was already dusk, he didn't eat or drink, he went straight to the bedroom, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

I woke up in the middle of the night after sleeping until I slept and shouted twice in the dark that Mrs. didn't answer, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. When he returned, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed, and he didn't have time to take off his clothes and shoes. And when he woke up at this time, his clothes and shoes were on his body, what he looked like when he slept, and what he still looked like when he woke up. This shows that during the time he was sleeping, Wan Qiuqing did not come. If she had been here, even if she was afraid of disturbing his rest, she would at least help him take off his shoes.

Qi Wuwei walked out of the bedroom with questions, and found the servants to ask, only to find out that Wan Qiuqing had not come back since she took people to encircle and suppress the Xue family yesterday morning, and the servants thought that she was busy with big things.

Knowing from the servant that Wan Qiuqing had never returned, Qi Wuwei suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the servant to prepare a car to go to the barracks. found Zhao Quan in the barracks, and was shocked after asking, because Zhao Quan actually told him that they thought Wanqiu would go back early in the morning.

At that time, the attention of Zhao Quan and the others was all attracted by the treasure house of the Xue family, and no one noticed that Wan Qiuqing and Zhang Xiaopaw entered the dry well in the remote and uninhabited backyard.

Qi Wuwei had a hidden uneasiness in his heart, he knew that Wan Qiuqing, unless it was an urgent matter, or something accidental, she would definitely send someone home to inform her.

"Zhao Quan, go to the dark group and ask if anyone has seen Madame in the past day or two nights. Send another group of people to Xue's house to see if they can find the clues left by Mrs. Qi Wuwei commanded.

"Yes. Zhao Quan took the order.

Soon the dark group replied to the message, and no one had seen Wan Qiuqing.

Qi Wuwei immediately ordered someone to dig the Xue family three feet into the ground, and no one could escape the eyes and ears of the secret group in Yancheng, which means that Wan Qiuqing probably never left the Xue family's mansion, and it is very likely that something happened.

However, the news that came earlier than Wan Qiuqing was the military situation of the rebels' night attack, and the anti-king Li Yuande's three-way army marched in the starry night, and it had reached thirty miles away.

......

The sky was slightly bright, and Wei Ziyan and Zhou Jianlai sat across the stone table in the small courtyard of pine and cypress.

During these five days, the two of them had almost no rest, and they had been immersed in swordsmanship. One taught without reservation, the other studied attentively, and five days seemed to pass in the eyes of the two of them.

Wei Ziyan drank all the wine in the cup, and instructed Zhou Jianlai: "When the store opens at dawn, you go and buy a white horse and come back, and get another pot of wine." ”

"Good. Zhou Jian responded.

Wei Ziyan picked up the blood-drinking sword on the stone table, his eyes were gentle, he stroked the sword body, and said: "Drinking blood and following the old man to fight for a lifetime, when the old man fights side by side with him again, the old man will give him to you to use, you have to treat him well." ”

"Master, you-" Zhou Jianlai was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Wei Ziyan raising his hand, and said: "The old man's limit has come, and I want to wave a little more residual heat for Dayu at the end of his life." You just follow the old man, and when you see the old man finish the last journey of this life, the old man will be satisfied. ”

"Obey orders!" Zhou Jianlai swallowed the words in his throat and replied respectfully.

Wei Ziyan held the blood-drinking sword in his hand, shook his wrist and swung the sword, and the pines and cypresses in the courtyard collapsed. I saw him swing his sword and slash, sawdust flying, and a small piece of wood the length of a thumb was peeled from the heart of each pine and cypress trunk.
