Chapter 297: Why Kill
At this time, there is still one day before the official start of the competition, and there are already a sea of people on the high gang, and thousands of martial arts people from all over Liaoyang Province have begun to gather here since three days ago.
The Heavenly Wolf Twin Blades, one of the ancient divine weapons, must be in the top position in the world today in terms of weapons, and even the weapons forged by the refiner Jiang Ming are far from being compared, let alone other weapons.
There was a young man on the high post, about twenty or thirty years old, dressed in white, thin and tall, with white skin, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a graceful manner, looking at the stone tablet coldly, his eyes showed a strong disgust, the current court is even more brutal and hateful than a few decades ago, and it is simply intolerable to use the heavenly wolf double knife as a bait to openly carry out a competition to kill the people!
And what's even more odious is that there are so many people gathered, obviously to compete, so where is the conscience of these people?
No way! He must never let this happen!
He was about to go up and knock down the stone monument when suddenly the conversation of several people around him caught his attention.
"Listen to Tianjisuo, there are only ten ancient divine weapons left in the world, the Jiuli Holy Halberd of Lingnan was born last year, and the White Tiger Battle Heavenly Knife of Western Xia is heard to be in the hands of a mysterious master, and the Heavenly Wolf Double Knife that is born now should be the third artifact!"
"Not the 3rd piece! And in the wrong order! The other said, "The White Tiger Battle Heavenly Sword was the first to be born; The second piece is the Qinglong Troubled Sea Sword, I heard that it is in the hands of the Japanese people, but no one has seen it; The third thing is the real fire Vermilion Bird Fan, but I heard that someone has seen it, but unfortunately there is no other news, and it has only been born once; The Jiuli Holy Halberd is the 4th piece, and this Heavenly Wolf Double Knife is the 5th piece! ”
"Oh my god! The top ten divine soldiers have been born 5 pieces, and I am afraid that the world will be chaotic! ”
"Not only are the top ten divine soldiers, don't you think there have been a lot more young geniuses in the past ten years? One by one, they have cultivated to the peak of the semi-immortal realm at the age of one or twenty, which is too scary! No wonder Tianjisuo said that the world is going to face a catastrophe! ”
"You said that this Heavenly Wolf Twin Knife is one of the top ten divine weapons, and it is said that someone will definitely hide it secretly after getting it, why do you want to hold this killing competition? Is it really possible to get more people to kill? Or is this a trap in itself? ”
"That's not good! Since Liaoyang Province became the territory of the Song King, the changes that have taken place are simply too great! It turns out that all those invincible officials have gone to work as coolies, and the people who were forced to sell their sons and daughters or even fall into the grass are making land, money, and tax cuts, but there is only one thing, that is, the people are resolutely not allowed to live in the mountains anymore, I guess that the king of Song may have other intentions, but we can't guess it yet! ”
"Some people say that the king of Song was worried that the people would be easy to rebel if they lived in the mountains for too long, so he forced everyone to go down the mountain and enter the city...... It sounds reasonable, but there's always something you can't figure out! ”
……
After listening to the people around him for a long time, the anger in the white-clothed young man's stomach dissipated a lot, and there were more questions in his heart.
Oh, yes! If it is said that the imperial court could not bear it and wantonly slaughtered the people, what explanation is what has happened in Liaoyang in the past half a month?
Let's wait until we figure it out!
At night, most of the people on the high post did not go to the city to stay, so they slept on the ground on the high post in groups of three or five, and many of them could not sleep, so they stayed up until the early morning of the second day.
As soon as the sky was bright, Wu Qi, accompanied by Tian Sui Tho, went to the high post and stood on a stone platform at the highest point. There are 21 demi-immortals such as Gong Qianbai not far away, so there is no need to worry about safety.
"Heroes! Please allow me to introduce myself first, I am Wu Qi, with the same name and surname as that Wu Qi during the Warring States Period, and now I am the prime minister of Liaoyang, and I will lead the military and political affairs of Liaoyang in the future! If you have any questions, you can always go to Liaoyang City to find me! ”
As soon as Wu Qi said this, someone below had already started shouting, "I have a question now, please ask Prime Minister Wu to answer it", so that Wu Qi had to interrupt.
Wu Qi looked down, and saw a personable young man in white approaching, looking at the temperament, he knew that it was not comparable to a reckless man, and he was not angry but happy at the moment, and said loudly: "This hero may ask!" ”
Although Wu Qi's policies in Liaoyang were somewhat unsatisfactory, the starting point was for the sake of thousands of generations, and on the whole, he was worthy of his heart. So what he is afraid of is not that others ask, but that others don't know and don't ask, but rely on speculation, a lot of misunderstandings and prejudices come from this, he doesn't want that to happen, so of course he hopes that someone who understands will come and ask him face to face.
This young man in white looks like a man who understands!
Seeing that Wu Qi generously allowed him to ask questions, the young man in white had a better impression of Wu Qi, but because the question itself was more sharp, it still sounded very polite:
"I want to ask Prime Minister Wu Cheng, why do you have to hunt down wild people in the mountains? Isn't this a violation of the way of benevolent government? ”
Of course, Wu Qi thought about this question, so he didn't need to think about it at all at this time, and replied when he opened his mouth: "This hero asked a good question, I believe many people also asked this question!" Since ancient times, all those who can live for generations in the military are proud of killing people, and no one in all dynasties from ancient times to the present can be an exception! There are many famous generals in ancient times, or against enemy countries, or to suppress rebellions, which famous general's title is not made of white bones? ”
"But I wonder if the heroes have ever thought about whether the suppression of rebellion is worthy of praise, or the avoidance of judgment is worthy of praise?" Wu Qi pointed to the white-clothed young man and asked, "This hero must have read a lot of poetry books, so he should be able to answer this question!" ”
The white-clothed young man nodded and replied, "Although the suppression of the rebellion seems to have a great merit, it is not in line with the way of heaven that it will take many years for the local people to recover; And although it is in line with heaven to avoid rebellion, the merit is not obvious! So it's hard to choose! ”
Wu Qi nodded approvingly: "This hero is right!" If I want to become a famous general, I have to kill people, I just need to kill all those who don't obey, and I definitely have this strength! But I didn't do that, in fact, in the past month, the total number of people who have died at the hands of the officers and soldiers is less than 100, and every one of these 100 people is guilty of heinous crimes, as evidenced by the guilt! ”
As he spoke, he asked people to pass on a few charges to the crowd, and continued: "So please believe me, today I let you kill people definitely not for myself, but for the sake of future generations!" ”
"I'm sure some of you live in the mountains all year round! If we don't drive these people out of the mountains and put them in the city to raise, sooner or later they will kill themselves out of the mountains, and then our factory will be bleeding! ”
