“…… Girl, let me ask, how to get to that Zhang Village? ”

Under the early autumn sun, the wind blew through the rice sea in the field, and a knight dressed as a scholar stopped a dark-skinned village girl who was carrying water on the ridge and asked. The village girl looked at him twice.

"Walk towards the end of the road, and you will be there in half a day...... Why have you been to Zhangcun so much recently, what are you doing in Zhangcun? ”

"There are a lot of people who have been to Zhangcun recently?"

"Quite a few, and someone asked me yesterday."

"Oh, I don't know what they're going to do." The scholar was thoughtful, and then smiled, "In Xianaihuzhou Shizi, I heard that the Huaxia Army won the world, and I came to Zhangcun to defect and ask for fame." ”

"Huzhou persimmon? You are a person, where is a persimmon? ”

"Oh...... Scholar, scholar, is the meaning of scholar. Thank you girl for showing the way, is that the way? ”

"Well, the main road, go south, go straight. Reader, you said it earlier. The dark-skinned girl looked at him again.

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you, girl, for showing the way. ”

When the conversation was over, the scholar saluted, watched the black girl carry water and walk towards the village not far away, and then walked to the other side. His five brothers were waiting by the small river beach not far away, and the scholar went over and confirmed with a few people that they were not in the wrong direction.

"There are a lot of people going to Zhang Village recently, I'm afraid it will attract attention, right?" Someone is worried.

"If it was all people who practiced martial arts, I am afraid they would not be allowed to go, but it is indeed a fact that the Huaxia Army defeated the Jurchens, and there are a lot of people who have gone to defect recently. Let's wait to be mixed in with these people...... The more people there are, the more troops the Huaxia army has to prepare, let's pull out a sentry and set a fire, which can cause him to be exhausted......"

"That's right."

"Since we have approached Zhang Village, it is not good to take the big road again, according to the younger brother's opinion, it is far along this avenue, if the younger brother estimates well, there must be more sentry posts on the avenue."

"Then it's decided."

A few people made a plan, and another laughed.

"Speaking of which, that girl just now looks good."

“…… The black is a little darker, but it can grow strong, and it can be born and raised at a glance. ”

"I don't know a few brothers, but I look pretty good, I just said that I am a scholar, and she looked at me several times, and that look ...... You know, in fact, what these people in the village think about all day long is to be able to be a reader, and that's what they sing in the play......"

"Don't say it, the fifth brother pretends to be a scholar, it's really amazing, just that girl just now, let's go to the door to propose, and it will be done!"

……

The arbitrary words came to You Hongzhuo's ears far away with the autumn wind, and he laughed slightly.

This kind of dialogue of the six people in front of him made him feel a little nostalgic.

I killed someone from that small mountain village before, and then I met six brothers and sisters, and only after settling my knots did I start to explore the rivers and lakes. Although soon after, due to the betrayal of the fourth brother Guo Wenbai, the group was torn apart, and he was hunted down and killed, but in retrospect, he was lonely when he first entered the rivers and lakes, and then the rivers and lakes gradually became complex and heavy, only during the time when he followed the six brothers and sisters, the rivers and lakes seemed pure and interesting in front of his eyes.

At that time, the rivers and lakes he saw every day were new, the rumors he heard were very pleasant, and the seven of them helped each other without having to sleep and tremble—although it was an illusion, the warmth and stability were never felt again.

In the past few years, he has been fighting all the way, and many like-minded people have contributed to resisting the Jurchens and resisting Liao Yiren's generation, and he has actually seen a lot of people who can be relied on and trusted, but for him, he has no mood to worship with others anymore. Now that I think about it, it was also my bad luck, and the road when I entered the rivers and lakes was too cruel.

These warriors living in the south seem somewhat naïve and undisciplined.

He followed the six from afar. Chengdu Plain has a broad field of vision, fortunately, in the first half of the way, these people took the main road, and in the second half, these six people had ghosts in their hearts, leaving the avenue to find woods and trails to detour, which also provided conditions for You Hongzhuo to follow.

Along the way, You Hongzhuo thought about who he should help and who was a good person. The six people in front of him made him feel somewhat familiar, and on the whole, these six people were indeed determined to do what they thought was right. But on the other hand, the closer he got to the core area managed by the Huaxia Army, the more refreshing the surrounding scene became, with fertile land, paddy fields, solid roads, and orderly villages, and traces of new reclamation could be clearly seen in many places.

Since the time when she defected to the Tiger King many years ago, she has been developing agriculture, commerce and trade, painstakingly cultivating farmland in various places. Especially in the background of the Jurchen's southward movement, it was she who had been struggling to support the whole situation, and some places were burned down by the Jurchens and destroyed by the wicked led by Liao Yiren, but it was the female prime minister who has been trying her best to repeat the construction. You Hongzhuo has been helping in the women's camp for several years, and it is becoming clearer and clearer about these moving deeds.

During the turmoil of the Central Plains for more than ten years, the entire world was broken and destroyed, but only Jindi, which was originally struggling to survive, has preserved a not weak livelihood. You Hongzhuo went south all the way, and he also saw many places where there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles and white bones were exposed in the wild. This is the achievement and pride of Jindi people. But such achievements seem to be nothing compared to the scene in the southwest.

For so many years, the Chengdu Plain has not experienced a major war. Did such a scene exist before, or was it built more after the arrival of the Huaxia Army?

As he walked, he estimated these questions in his mind.

On the other hand, he remembered the overall feeling in the recent period, in addition to the six knights in front of him, who have recently been to Chengdu, there are indeed many people who want to make trouble, and I am afraid that there will be no fewer people who have gone to Zhangcun these days. The strength of the Huaxia army was stretched thin after defeating the Jurchens, if there were really so many people scattered and wanted to find such and such troubles, how could the Huaxia army deal with it?

When they were in Jindi, they also encountered such a situation. The enemy is not only the Jurchens, but also Liao Yiren, who took refuge in the Jurchens, and he also offered high rewards, inciting such and such outlaws to take the head of the woman, and some people just wanted to make a name for themselves or just couldn't get used to the identity of the woman who was Lou Xiang, so they listened to all kinds of demagoguery and wanted to kill her.

The dragon king, as the escort of the female minister, followed the female minister to protect her, and You Hongzhuo and these people spontaneously acted as defenders in the green forest, contributing people to inquire about the news, and when they heard that someone was going to make trouble, they took the initiative to stop it. During this period, there were actually some unjust, false and wrongful cases, and of course, more tragic battles one after another.

What should the Huaxia Army do? Judging from the situation this time, so many "righteous people" are standing opposite them. With so many enemies, if it is as chaotic as Jindi......

As the sun set, You Hongzhuo was thinking about these things while following the six people in front of him into the sparse woodland on the outskirts of Zhang Village......

……

On July 18, Chengdu, the sun is still shining brightly on this city.

The crowds were bustling, merchants came and went, and the various groups of people in the city went about their own thing, and the quarrels between the great Confucians in the newspapers became more and more intense, and there were indeed several chapters that were enthusiastically discussed, and even left their names in some historical records many years later.

The scholars who were determined to try their hand at seeking fame in the Huaxia Army gradually grasped some rules for the several subjects prescribed for the examination. In addition to daily study, even some private night schools and study classes have been opened in the corners of the city, and the scholars who first found these places seemed to have found a shortcut, and people tutored and discussed, gradually opening the door to a new world.

The world's first martial arts competition began to stir up a warm atmosphere in the city. The preliminary round of this selection competition will officially end in August, and in the last ten days of July, the masters who may be emerging in the competition have already arrived. Based on this background, Takeki compiled a list of martial artists who had already qualified for the finals after two victories.

Since the official is not allowed to participate in gambling, and it is inconvenient to make too subjective rankings, the two underground casinos and some authoritative masters have privately compiled a list of the top 50 martial artists who temporarily appeared in Chengdu. The two lists vividly count the life deeds and proud martial arts of each martial artist, and the odds of the future martial arts competition will also rise and fall - with betting, there are stories, and the curiosity and enthusiasm of the people in the city for this martial arts competition have gradually become high.

Everything showed a sense of prosperity, and even the previous fierce attacks on the Huaxia army became a little restrained after July and a half. But inside the undercurrent of the city, tension is piling up, waiting for something to erupt.

After receiving the notice that the division was free, Yu Hezhong followed the female soldier Xiaoling, walked quickly through the courtyard in front, and saw a woman in a moon-white dress by the lake.

Recently, she seems to be very busy, although she has been relegated from the diplomatic department of the Huaxia Army to propaganda, but on the eve of the opening of the first congress, Yu Hezhong also inquired that she will be one of the main managers of the propaganda department of the Huaxia Army in the future. However, despite her busyness, her spirit and complexion in the recent period seem to be getting younger and fuller.

The reason for this is not difficult to guess, since the first meeting, I have indeed become more and more interested in her. Love is blind...... Such an idea may have been reluctant to admit more than ten years ago, but now, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

After greeting each other, Yu Hezhong suppressed the throbbing in his heart, sat down solemnly on the chair in front of the teacher, and pondered for a moment.

"The situation in the city has been tense lately. What do you guys think? ”

He opened his mouth with a question, showing his concern for this side, and the master was really not annoyed, and tilted his head with a smile.

"What's the situation?"

"This is the end of the matter, and there is nothing to hide...... Maybe you've been concerned about writing lately, and before the end of the month, there will be chaos in the city, you know? ”

"Where did Brother Yu hear the rumors?"

"I've been following ...... all day General Liu and when they deal with each other, what they should hear can always be heard. Shishi, Yan Daolun wants to promote business with Huaxia Army, this is one thing, but which way their hearts are going is another thing. I do not know...... What does Liheng think, this time there are so many people from the three religions and nine streams in Chengdu City, and there is a group of scholars who are fueling the troubles, if you don't control it in private, sooner or later there will be chaos......"

"It's not that it's uncontrolled, anyone who commits adultery will still be arrested." Shi Shi smiled and defended, "Moreover, Liheng often says that if you want to do business, you have to take risks, and if they don't come in, everyone won't even have a chance to get to know each other." Today's Chengdu just wants the Huaxia Army to have a chance to greet the people of the world, otherwise, wouldn't they all speculate in private about what the Huaxia Army is like? ”

"But today this is a thief! Too much! Yu Hezhong knocked on the table and lowered his voice: "What they want is to assassinate Liheng, do you know?" ”

"Liheng has been assassinated enough over the years."

"But this time it's different from the others, this time there are a lot of Confucian instigations, hundreds of people will come together to do this, you don't know who it is, they just talk about it in private. In the last few days, six or seven people have been talking to me about this, if you don't restrain you......"

"They just talked, they didn't say they would do something, and we couldn't restrain it. After all, Liheng said it, I have to say hello......"

"But those three sects and nine streams at the bottom will be instigated! Those traders, dart masters, and green forest people who entered the city have been famous once in their lives, and this time they all said that they would participate in the grand event and do a big thing. It's like...... That powder keg that set the gunpowder, once it ignites, boom - it will burst! ”

Shi Shi thought for a while: "...... I think Liheng should have been prepared. ”

"He's not prepared enough! I shouldn't have opened the door in the first place! Yu Hezhong was excited for a moment, and then finally calmed down: "That's it, the people you usually deal with are different from the people I deal with, so what you see and hear may also be different." I've seen all sorts of things out there over the years, these people ...... Success may not be enough, but failure is always more than enough, they ...... They may be powerless in the face of the Jurchens, that is because the Jurchens are not of our race and dare to fight and kill, and the Huaxia Army is too gentle, and then, as long as the slightest flaw is revealed, they may rush up. Liheng was assassinated by a few or dozens of people back then, and he could still stop it, but if hundreds of people in this city rushed here, it would always be bad. You guys...... Do you just want to say hello like that? ”

The master nodded: "This matter...... I believe that there will be preparations here, after all, I am not in his position, and I know less about fighting and killing. However, if Brother Yu can have a systematic idea, such as how to view this matter, how to deal with it, and which people to watch out for...... Why don't you go to see Liheng and talk to him? For this matter, I, as a sister, can make a little arrangement. ”

Yu Hezhong was slightly stunned, he pondered for a moment in his mind, this time he heard the turbulent public opinion outside, he was nervous in his heart, and felt that he had an opportunity to talk to his teacher before he came over, but when it came to such a clear control of details, there was no clue at all after all. A group of scholars can talk vividly when chatting, but when it comes to being specific, who to watch out for who will arrest whom, who can talk nonsense, and who dares to talk nonsense?

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Hezhong sighed: "I mainly want to remind you, when you see Liheng's matter, forget it." You know, he's a thoughtful man, and he used to ...... Didn't talk a word...... I just want to remind you that you have to be careful and stay safe......"

As he said this, he leaned forward and naturally moved forward with his hands to hold the hand that the master had placed on the table, but the master had already retracted his hand, brushed the hair from his ear, and looked at the lake on the side, as if he did not see his overly visible movements.

"I live here, I won't run out, the safety is the same as everyone else, don't worry."

Yu Hezhong's heart was hot, and when he stretched out his hand, he also made up his mind, if he held his hand, he would say something. But Shishi's evasion was too obvious, and suddenly it was like pouring cold water on his head. He thought about it in a chaotic way, and pretended to sigh calmly: "You also know, those rumors outside say that you are already someone from Liheng......"

"Hezhong, what if it's not a rumor?"

The teacher's eyes looked over with a smile, Yu Hezhong was stunned for a moment, and then finally withdrew his hand: "...... Hey, when is it, you're still so joking. If it is true, there are many people who protect you, but if not, this rumor will harm you......"

He leaned back in his chair and said, "Anyway, I'm also a little anxious, I should tell you, that's all." Alas, it is not easy for the Huaxia Army to come to this point, don't look at Yan Daolun and they are kind when they face you, turn their heads, they also point to the Huaxia Army to do more things, if someone really assassinates Liheng before August, when the Huaxia Army is divided, their benefits will not be less. Although I am stupid, I also know that it is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world......"

"It's not time to sit in the world yet."

"It's pretty much the same." Yu Hezhong stood up, "Okay, I'll go first, I guess you have a lot of things, in short...... I hope you are doing well, and I hope this business will work out...... Next time we talk. ”

"I'll send you."

The master got up to send him out, Yu Hezhong's mood became more and more irritable, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he turned around to block the teacher: "It's good here, you ...... It's not safe outside, you're busy, don't go out......"

The master smiled helplessly and brightly, and bowed slightly: "Okay, then see you next time." ”

"See you next time......

Yu Hezhong waved his hand, pretending to leave this side calmly along the way, and the mood in his heart was low and gloomy, and he was up and down. Shishi's sentence "If it wasn't a rumor" seemed to warn him and remind him, but after thinking about it, Shishi more than ten years ago had a somewhat eccentric temperament, and it was really a joke, and it was really from the heart.

Is she with Ning Yi, or not? After thinking about this question all the way, I couldn't help but think of the embarrassment when I stretched out my hand and was avoided, and I only felt that my little thoughts had been completely exposed in front of the other party - it didn't matter if I was exposed, but the sad thing was to be rejected, and once I was rejected, many questions would be slapped in my face: I was a person with a wife and children, and I was able to become the most important middleman in the southwest transaction this time, all because she took care of herself......

This realization made his mind a little dizzy, and he felt that there was no face. But after walking for a while, recalling the past, there was hope in my heart again, I remember that when we met for the first time a few days ago, she also said that she did not marry herself, she was a person who loved to joke, and she did not resolutely refuse herself......

Also, it is indeed not surprising that her current situation is difficult to win her favor. According to what I thought before, I just hoped to take advantage of this opportunity in the southwest to save some benefits and speaking capital, and then I could be worthy of her, and I was really dizzy today...... Since the teacher has never refused, with her seven exquisite hearts, her own thoughts have been exposed, which is certainly a little uncomfortable, but when you think about it, it is not too bad?

He had such and such thoughts in his heart, and when his thinking gradually calmed down and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he thought of the main reason for coming this time in the peaceful atmosphere near Yingbin Road. Countless people from outside are waiting to make trouble, and Yan Daolun and they will all be happy to see it, and they are even taking it lightly, probably because of the confidence swelling after repelling the Jurchens.

He hoped that this transaction would be successful and Huaxia Army could make a smooth transition, but now thinking about this, he faintly expects that something bad will happen. When there is chaos here, the master will understand the hard work of his side, and the road of the Huaxia Army can also be more secure, and if the chaos really breaks out, the master will go back to inform Ning Yi of his warning today, and when the time comes, he will go to meet the other party again, and many things can be said better.

When the sun fell, he walked through the bustling streets of Chengdu, and saw scholars and warriors, all like righteous men waiting to do it. Every look in people's eyes seems to be telling something in private, trying to connect them.

If something happens, something will happen......

He thought.

……

“…… The Huaxia Army was on guard. ”

In the afternoon, the warm wind blew across the water on the river, and the fragrance of tea lingered in the painting boat.

This is a seemingly ordinary gathering, Guan Shanhai, Lang Guoxing, Mu Wenchang...... and several others gathered in Yang Tiehuai's convocation, and inevitably had ears on the wall, and chose the painting boat on the river.

Yang Tiehuai, known as Huai Gong, was broken in the street before, and his forehead was still bandaged, and he spoke calmly while pouring tea:

"The Huaxia Army is on guard." He said, "The situation in the city, as we all know, is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, many Zhuji personnel have already entered the city, and even entered the so-called 'righteous people' on the market, many people will be arrested as soon as they move, yesterday there was a fight in Anqingfang, two people died, both were foreign assassins, there was also a time on Yingbin Road, the assassin was arrested on the spot every time. The Huaxia Army is very good at preventing assassinations, and it is unlikely that a small fight will work...... Please tea. ”

Everyone served tea, and Guan Shanhai on the side said: "Since you know that the Huaxia Army is prepared, Huai Gong still called us old guys over?" What if one or two of us are 'comrades' of the Huaxia Army, and we get off the boat and are arrested? ”

"The Huaxia army is the hero who defeated the Jurchens, and we are only worried about the situation in the city when we gather today, what a crime." Yang Tiehuai's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze swept over everyone, "The situation in Chengdu City today is different from the assassinations organized by the Green Forest people in the past, and now there are many ...... Bandits, into the city, some of them were targeted, some did not, we don't know who will do it and who will shrink, but for the Huaxia Army, this is a thousand days of anti-thief thing, there is a group of opponents, they have to arrange a group of people to watch. ”

“…… Their manpower is limited, and if these bandits go up one by one, the Huaxia army will catch them one by one, but if dozens of people work at the same time, the net laid by the Huaxia army will inevitably fail to catch it. So in the final analysis, this incident is a contest between people's hearts and strength, and while looking at how much strength the Huaxia Army has, it is ...... It's a look at how many people don't like the Huaxia Army to live a good life......"

He picked up the teacup: "Strength is higher than people's hearts, and this net will be solid, but if people's hearts are greater than strength, this net may be broken." ”

A group of old people nodded and drank tea, among which Mu Wenchang, who was in his forties, looked at the people around him and said: "That is to say, today we don't know if these 'bandits' in the city will do it, but there may be people who are not aligned, some people want to move, some people don't want to, some people can risk their lives, and some people want to wait and see...... But if you wait and see too much, this person's heart can't compare to the strength. ”

"If I were a bandit, I would have hoped that there would be fewer people watching when I did it." Yang Tiehuai nodded.

"The strength of the Huaxia Army is there now, but the hearts of the people in the world today are changing. Because of the strength of the Huaxia Army, those people in the city, it is impossible to say anything, whether they can break that strength depends on how many people do it...... Speaking of which, this really thinks this is what Ning Yi often uses...... Impotence. Someone said.

Yang Tiehuai smiled: "Today's tea, purely to talk about the situation in the city, I know that many of you here have brought people, it is not easy for the Huaxia Army to manage this situation, if something happens next, they will inevitably go crazy, you have to restrain your subordinates, so that they don't make things that are happy for relatives and enemies...... Okay, it's just a small talk, if you have anything else to say, you can speak freely, everyone is worried about the Huaxia Army. ”

He smiled and waved his hand.

“…… Please tea. ”

Sunlight streams in through the lattices of the paintings, and similar gatherings and conversations are taking place in many unknown corners of the city. Impassioned words are always easy to say, things are not easy to do, but when generous words are said enough, something quietly brewing can also erupt.

When the scholar named Mu Wenchang left the painting boat, it was already evening, and in this golden autumn evening, he would remember the shock and despair when he first witnessed the Huaxia army more than ten years ago.

It was still the second year of Wu Jianshuo, and he became the chief staff of Qin Fenglu's pacification envoy Yan Zhenguo, which was the first high point in Mu Wenchang's life. The Wu Dynasty lost the Central Plains, and Yan Zhenguo was forced to take refuge in the Jurchens and Mingzhe to protect their lives, and when Lou attacked the northwest, they were forced to participate in the battle against Yanzhou.

That autumn, he saw for the first time the brutality of the black flag, they carried the banner of China, but they did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and attacked the Jurchens and Han people at the same time. Some people thought that the Huaxia army was powerful, but the battle lasted for several years, and in the end it was slaughtered and reduced to white ground in the entire northwest, and countless neutrals and forced people were killed in the middle.

For so many people, they could have been wooed and persuaded, and even during the war, Mu Wenchang carefully revealed that he was willing to join the Huaxia Army to seek a career, but the Huaxia Army was ruthless, they only accepted enlistment as small soldiers, and they didn't care about a big staff like Mu Wenchang.

Originally, countless people in the Central Plains were willing to take refuge in the past, but the Huaxia Army only thought about fighting and could not tolerate the slightest detour.

In April of the fourth year of Jianshuo, the Huaxia army defeated Yan Zhenguo and the Zhijia coalition army in Killing Wolf Ridge, and killed Yan Shuai and many children of the Zhe family...... But so what? Isn't it an escape in the end? Eventually, countless people who didn't deserve to die died.

Mu Wenchang fled south in embarrassment, his wife and children were crushed in that war, one of his daughters was even married to a Jurchen officer on his own initiative, and later Lou was killed When the Jurchens were defeated in the northwest, his daughter died in a group of anti-Jin rebels.

Anti-Jin needs to fight, but what he has learned in his life tells him that this world is not blindly fighting to get better, and he has become as cruel as the Jurchens, even if he wins the world, it will not cure the world.

- The Huaxia Army must be wrong!

- The Huaxia Army must be wrong......

This Chengdu will clearly tell the world this truth.

He thought about it over and over again, walking through the streets at dusk.

……

At the same moment, a strong man named Shi Yuanmeng will remember the gunshot and chaos in the Jinluan Hall more than ten years ago.

"Alas, Zhou Zhe ......"

The sigh that seemed to be absent was a voice that he would never forget for the rest of his life, and what happened after that was a scene that he still can't let go.

How can there be such a person?

That was the first time he defeated the Jurchen siege of Bianliang, and then dealt with the meritorious deeds after dealing with the traitorous Qin Siyuan, he relied on his family connections, and followed Tan Zhen's path, and faced the saint for the first time in his life. For that face, he worshiped all the ancestors in his family, even fasted for three days, burned incense and bathed, and treated that facelift as the most glorious moment of his life.

In order to avoid being rude to the Golden Palace, although it was impossible to have any conversation with him, he spent most of the day training at home on etiquette alone, constantly practicing the etiquette of bowing and kowtowing to the portrait of the ancestors and thanking him after the reward. After the face of the saint, the banquet of the guests of the big banquet has already been arranged.

Who knew that the seven of them entered the Golden Palace, and among the seven people who should have been the most humble in the main hall, the businessman's son-in-law, who was not even fluent in etiquette, actually stood up with a sigh after kneeling.

He still can't comprehend that scene. He sighed and called His Majesty's name, and then there was a bang, everyone was still in a daze, he had already walked over, and slapped the face of the incomparably noble Tong Wangye, Tong Wangye was dressed in a horse and had countless military exploits, I don't know how many generals would be scared in front of him, but at that moment, he flew up and smashed his head on the golden steps.

How can you walk in the Golden Temple? How can you beat Tong Wangye? How can you lift up your god-like majesty and smash it to the ground?

He never thought that there would be such a kingless and fatherless person in the world, and he never thought that there would be such a great rebellion in the world. Unfortunately, at that time, he couldn't react at all, and knelt by the door from beginning to end.

"A bunch of trash."

In front of the Golden Palace, the man struck the emperor on the head with the back of his sword, and said this contemptuous word to all the high-ranking and powerful ministers in the entire Golden Palace. Li Gang was scolding, Cai Jing was stunned, Tong Wangye was crawling in a pool of blood on the ground, Wang Hao, Qin Hui, Zhang Bangchang, Geng Nanzhong, Tan Zhen, Tang Ke, Yan Daozhang...... Some officials even collapsed to the ground in fright......

It is also strange to say, after experiencing that incident, Shi Yuanmeng only felt that there was nothing more peculiar in the world, and his response to many things was not alarmed. After the fall of the Central Plains, he came to the south, and also stayed in the army, and later worked for some large families, because of his ruthless and neat methods, he was quite admired, and later he also had some reliable henchmen.

When the southwest gate was opened, he was going to come over and do something that would also shock the whole world.

He would have remembered the scene when Ning Yi walked past him that day, and the phrase "a bunch of waste" he said that day probably didn't even include the few people kneeling at the door...... Today, he will do the same thing, to warn the whole world that there are no kings, no fathers, and great rebels, and their lives will also be collected by loyal ministers and righteous people!

"Big brother, things are ready."

The brother who was working in the courtyard came to him and spoke this to him.

Shi Yuanmeng turned his head and saw that the two wooden barrels in the courtyard had been arranged, and he went over to check them again.

"Do you know?" He said, "Ning Yi kept saying that the study of things, this study of things is not his thing at all...... He colluded with the traitors, and after defeating Liangshan with the power of the Prime Minister's house, he captured a man of the Tao, Mr. Gongsun Sheng, who was known as the 'Cloud Dragon' Gongsun Sheng. This Mr. Gongsun is perfect for the art of thunder and fire, Ning Yi is the one who took his recipe and detained him, and over the years, he has been able to develop the technique of gunpowder to such a point. ”

Shi Yuan looked at the people in the courtyard fiercely: "This devil, greedy for the heavens for his own merits, rebellious, evil, he was able to defeat the Jurchens, it was nothing more than with these firearms, and today, he hid in the southwest, took advantage of the Jurchen army to defeat everyone, and then defeated the other party with these firearms...... I won't sit idly by anymore for such a thing, let's kill Ning Yi this time, since someone rescued Mr. Gongsun from the southwest, when the time comes, this firearm technique will spread all over the world and defeat the Jurchens. I am a martial dynasty and a thousand years of eternal solidity! We, the people, have truly saved the whole world! ”

The evening sun was engulfed by the horizon like a fireball, and someone gave up: "Swear to follow the big brother." ”

"For the sake of the world, swear to follow the big brother!"

The city is burning in flames, and there are countless movements, and there are such and such sounds under this sea of fire.

That night, Ning Ji was in Wen Shoubin's courtyard, and for the one hundred and first time, he heard the other party's heroic prophecy that "things are just in these two days".

The next day, at the scene of the martial arts competition, Huang Shan came over and said to him: "Recently, everyone outside has said that something is going to happen in Chengdu, so don't you Huaxia Army be on guard? It made people feel that the other party was constantly worried about the situation of the Huaxia Army, and Ning Ji no longer had expectations for their ability to act, and replied with a paralyzed face: "If you want to make trouble, you can make trouble." ”

"Hey, just kidding, it's not about us, we didn't plan to make trouble, you see, my brother and I also participated in the competition, didn't we...... I'm just worried, the situation is chaotic, isn't this martial arts competition going to be held, your Huaxia Army has to watch this matter in prison......"

"The first division went to Lao Niutou's side to quell the chaos, and the rest of the divisions were already reduced, and at these times they were placing prisoners and guarding the entire Sichuan Fourth Road, and there were only so many people in Chengdu. But what is there to be afraid of, the Jurchens will not be repelled by us, and a bunch of local chickens and dogs from outside can make trouble. ”

"That's, that'...... Brother Long is right, after all, the Jurchens have repelled ......"

"Don't make trouble, or I'll kill you......," Ning Ji glanced at him.

Huang Shan smiled innocently: "How can we be, how can we be, we really plan to make a name for ourselves in the martial arts competition." ”

The two acted with each other, but even if they understood that the strong man was acting, they would rather wait for things for too long, and they almost didn't expect things to happen. Wen Shoubin is like this, at the beginning he was impassioned and said that he was going to do bad things, so he made a start, and his "daughters" sent out two, and then participated in the banquet all day long, and he had already begun to "slowly figure it out" for sending Qu Longjun to his eldest brother.

In the recent incident in the city, most of the time it will be the same, a group of people said impassioned words, and in the end, no one dared to do it, and it became a joke...... It's a pity that he is not in Zhang Village at the moment, otherwise he would be laughing with a group of friends...... Well, school will start after September anyway, so I'll just tell them about what I've seen here.

……

On the hill next to the village near Zhangcun, the night gradually deepened. After the hour, the light of the stars and the moon shone down from the sky, and the forest was squirming, and only the footsteps of nocturnal animals could be heard occasionally.

Six knights surrounded the city in a circle and were whispering.

"Over there in Chengdu, I don't know what's going on......"

"So many people say they want to do something big, what if no one does it?"

"The Huaxia Army is powerful, if it falls into their hands, there is no good end......"

"What if we were the only ones who did it, and no one else did?"

"That's not it......"

"We just need to cause chaos and mobilize the nearby Huaxia Army......"

"Then the brothers say, do it, or don't do it?"

"I listen to everyone's ......"

The originally determined few people, when they came to the end, what they said turned into nonsense, and You Hongzhuo, who was hiding in the darkness not far away, sighed helplessly. At this moment, there was a "boom" in the night sky in the distance, and fireworks streaked through the air, and then there seemed to be a movement of fighting.

"Someone ...... do it"

"Don't think about it, let's do it."

"The third and fourth, grab the torch and prepare to light the fire on the left......"

"Burn rice?"

"The rice is not fully ripe, and it can't be burned now......"

"Burn the house, the small village on the lower left, as soon as the house burns down, the most people will be alarmed, and then you will look at the ......"

"It's night, and people are in the house."

"If you want to become a big thing, you can tolerate such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, if you don't let the people of Huaxia Army suffer, how can they be willing to come out! If the rice can be lit, you can order the rice......"

"The fire is lit below, you people go immediately, in this field, how many people does the Huaxia army need to lay out a net, when the time comes, everyone will see the opportunity to act, and then create chaos, if the Huaxia army goes to arrest you, we will set fire to kill people in other places......"

In the dark, You Hongzhuo's brows furrowed slightly.

The third and fourth took the torches and went all the way down, and You Hongzhuo followed behind. From the previous conversation, he could see that the two of them were a little hesitant, the battlefield against the enemy is one thing, and burning the people's fields and houses is another.

The two of them went to the edge of the village, but after all, they hesitated.

Someone said: "This is not a matter of virtue." ”

"Then what's the solution, you go back and say you won't do it?"

"I ......"

They were silent for a moment at the edge of the village, and at last, again, they leaned towards the back of a house, and the man who had said that he had not accumulated virtue took out a fire fold, blew it a few times, and the flames lit up in the darkness.

They lit the torches.

You Hongzhuo, who was behind the two, sighed.

Slash with a sword.

……

July 20. Chengdu.

Shortly after nightfall, Ning Ji heard a loud explosion coming from inside the city, and many people heard the noise.

The chaotic night began......
