Chapter 68 Rising rice is a favor and a grudge
Ningjiang, who was originally in Chuzhou, suddenly led the crowd to the bank of the Changhe River and wiped out the entire Changhe Cao Gang, Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng thought that something big must have happened again, but they didn't expect it to be because of such a reason, and they were stunned, but they were a little happy in their hearts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
No matter how you think about it, just for the two of them, it is too exaggerated to destroy a big gang of people so much.
But on the other hand, they are actually a little proud in their hearts...... Hmph, who let those people mess with them?
It's just that in this way, they haven't accomplished anything on this trip to the rivers and lakes, but instead provoked the boss behind them to help them come out and mobilize the people, which feels really faceless.
Chun Jianli said: "Let's go after that woman too, right?" ”
Ning Xiaomeng said, "Hmm." ”
In the final analysis, it will become like this, all of which were killed by Zhao Jiangtong's two female apprentices.
If they can cut off Zhao Jiangtong's head by themselves, their face can be saved more or less.
At that moment, they and Qin Xiaoya'er took those people together to hunt down Zhao Jiangtong. It's a pity that because he has already startled the snake, this time, Zhao Jiangtong is more cautious.
Three days later, they came to a small town. Located on the bank of the Long River, this small city is not large, but it is a transportation artery on both land and water, and it is quite prosperous with people coming and going.
Although they knew that Zhao Jiangtong and his gang had fled in this direction, at this moment, they had completely lost her trace.
When I entered the city, I saw that there were many martial arts people on the street, and the whole atmosphere became quite tense.
Chun Jianli said: "It seems that something happened, right?" ”
They went to the teahouse to rest and inquire about it, and soon got some news.
Among them, the most important is undoubtedly the Miao soldiers of Xiling, under the leadership of Brother Ran, all the court officials who were sent to live in Xiling were killed, and the troops were raised to invade Bashu, and the Sibi Cave pacified the troops sent to exterminate them, and they were defeated and lost, in just a few days, the entire Bashu had fallen into the hands of Miao soldiers, and Guangzhou, Yingzhou was in danger, and the upper reaches of the long river were about to fall into the hands of Brother Gregory.
At the same time, civil strife finally broke out among the "rebel armies" in the southwest, killing each other and leaving corpses in the wilderness, which were mixed with officers and soldiers who directly raised flags to rebel, as well as bullies and traitors who took advantage of the fire to rob.
If it is said that the southwestern states before Emperor Wenjin's accident were involved in the quagmire of everything around them as much as possible, then the current southwest has become a raging purgatory, and I don't know how many people die every day.
The land of Beiluo in the northeast is also in trouble, but because it is too far away from the south bank of the Yangtze River, coupled with the news blockade along the way, no one knows what the situation is now.
It is impossible to carry out the counterinsurgency in the southwest, and the large-scale invasion of the Miao soldiers has already meant the beginning of a long-term war, and Beiluo cannot lose it, but no one thinks that the barbarians in the north will still be so quiet.
Even in the state capitals in the middle and lower reaches of the Changhe River, which is still quite peaceful, the people have begun to permeate the atmosphere of unease.
Although this is the case, this is not the reason why the place has become so tense, and it will not cause the gathering of people in the rivers and lakes. The vast majority of people are content with the status quo, and unless the war does get involved, not many people are willing to take the initiative to make changes. And even if the fire has burned to the eyebrows, the vast majority of people are probably subconscious, first turning their heads to see how others are doing.
The main reason why it really makes this place lively and full of people from the rivers and lakes is that the leader of the Hengyue Sword Sect "has no Heng Sword Break" Tan Ruhai, gathers heroes on both sides of the Long River, and sends a heroic post to Ning Jiang, the leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance, to seek justice from Ningjiang.
Bang, in the corner of the teahouse, a big man slapped the table violently: "It's too much!" What is the leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance, in the final analysis, it is just those people who were in Longhu Mountain at that time talking to themselves, saying that they will be elected, even if they are in Jiangnan and Yueling states, many heroes do not know, even if it is not known, for the sake of his dedication to the Nine Yin True Scripture, everyone will accept his kindness, and let him be a nominal martial arts alliance leader in Jiangnan and Yueling. But why did he come to the long river? A big gang with a long river, saying that if he is destroyed, he will be destroyed, who does he think he is? ”
"Yes, even if there have been one or two martial arts alliance leaders before, which one of them is not a respected peacemaker, what grievances do the two factions have, be a Lu Zhonglian, let's sit down and talk about it, what can't be solved? How can there be such a reason to say that you can do it? What's more, he is not even the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, why did he come here? ”
The group of heroes discussed, and they all felt that Ning Jiang's hand was too long, not to mention, his approach was different from the previous martial arts alliance masters, every previous alliance leader was all amazing in martial arts, how could he be like him, he didn't know martial arts, although this time he personally killed Han Fan, the leader of the Changhe Cao Gang, relying on a mysterious secret weapon that he didn't know how to make, it was nothing at all.
In addition, the leaders of the martial arts alliance have always focused on resolving disputes in the rivers and lakes, and like him, he inexplicably led a large group of people to attack and kill the gangs in the rivers and lakes that had nothing to do with him, which was simply too rampant.
One of them slammed the table: "Today he can do this to the Changhe Cao Gang, tomorrow he can do this to any other gang, who does he think he is?" Is the king of heaven not successful? Even if it's the king of heaven, why does it care so much? ”
Everyone scolded angrily, many people actually didn't care about the survival or death of the Changhe Cao Gang, but the practice of the Ningjiang River put many gangs on both sides of the Changhe River in danger. He was able to take the people of the Southeast Martial Arts on their territory and destroy an entire gang as soon as he said it, and he would naturally be able to do the same to other gangs in the future.
Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, the so-called rivers and lakes should have been unrestrained, although there were several martial arts alliance leaders in the past, but which one did not rely on the promotion of everyone to convince people with morality? Everyone gives him face, he is the leader of the alliance, and the current leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance has to take care of things that do not belong to his territory, which is really out of bounds.
"This Xuancheng Conference, no matter what, wants the surname Ning to look good."
"Isn't it just to make him look good? We need to let him know, after all, what kind of thing is he? ”
In the shouts of everyone, Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts, it seems that this time it is really a big trouble.
Although it was to help them get ahead, this recklessness can be said to have offended many heroes and heroes on both sides of the Changhe River at once, especially gangs similar to the Changhe Cao Gang, and everyone was in danger.
How should this end? They looked at each other, and they both had some worries.
***
Xuancheng, in the backyard of the official government, an official sat there, drinking tea uneasily, cup after cup, as if this could relieve his nervous mood.
A middle-aged man stepped in and bowed down in front of him: "My lord! ”
The official said, "Master Fu, have those people left?" Are those Jianghu people gone? Are they gone? ”
This official is the prefect of the city, and he was born as a jinshi.
Different from "Mrs. Ru", "Mrs. Ru" is essentially just a concubine, with a low status, like a slave, "Tong Jinshi" is actually still a Jinshi, but it is only listed in the top three on the gold list. In the past, there were people who didn't know what to do, in order to be neat and tidy, they used "Mrs. Ru" to deal with "Tongjinshi", and if they were not careful, they offended many top three Jinshi.
Every Jinshi is a "10,000 enemies", and if you put it in the local area, you can start from the same knowledge and prefect. This official, who has been in office in Xuancheng for many years, was also majestic in the past.
However, since this time Mount Tai sealed Zen, Ziwei Xingyuan was shattered, and Emperor Wen had an accident, even the first and second class Jinshi had not much of their literary spirit left, let alone a third class. He was flustered, and he was worried every day, worried that he would not be able to calm the people under him.
And now, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and in Xuancheng, a large number of people from the rivers and lakes suddenly gathered.
But wherever the people of the rivers and lakes gather, it is easy to fight, especially now, probably because they realize that they no longer have to worry about the "official authority" exuded by these powerless officials, these people in the rivers and lakes, in groups of three or five, one by one are arrogant and rampant, and they no longer care about the hunt in the city. And in order to quell the rebellion in the southwest, even in a state city like Xizhou, the real elite soldiers have been adjusted, and only those old and weak soldiers who are messing around are left, not to mention a small county like him, if it was in the past, relying on official authority, even if it was these old and weak soldiers, it was more than enough to suppress these Jianghu people, but now, it is ......
Just a few days ago, in a county town under his rule, there was a county official who had lost his civility, in order to maintain law and order, offended a group of passing gangsters, and was rushed into the county government by the gang of gangsters, and even his concubine was hacked to death on the bed, and the gang of bandits has not been caught until now. If it is said that in the past, these "heroes of the rivers and lakes" who knew martial arts saw them, like mice seeing cats, and avoided them, then now, the whole situation is reversed, and they can already ignore these Jianghu guests as much as possible, so as not to get into trouble.
But now, although he didn't want to cause trouble, trouble found him, and for some reason, the people in the rivers and lakes on both sides of the long river were rushing to this side, and the streets and alleys were full of people with swords and swords.
In the past few days, he has not been able to eat day and night, and he has been praying every day that these troublemakers will get out of the country as soon as possible, or in other places, if they want to cause trouble, they will go to other places.
Master Nafu sighed: "My lord, I'm afraid you have to endure it a little longer, this time, it was the leader of the Hengyue Sword Sect who issued a heroic post and summoned the martial arts people on both sides of the Long River......"
"Hengyue Sword Sect?" The prefect said hatefully, "The head of the Hengyue Sword Sect? He wants to hold a conference, he won't go to his own Hengyue, what is he doing here? His hill is not small, can he come here? ”
Master Fu said: "My lord, you don't know this, this time, he held a hero conference, not only convened the martial arts people on both sides of the Long River, but also sent a post to Ning Jiang, the leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance, to lead the entire Changhe Martial Arts, and asked Ning Jiang Ning League Leader, not to do it on his own mountain, in order to show justice, so as not to tell the truth." ”
"The leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance...... Ningjiang? The prefect hesitated, "Is it Ningjiang, who won the first place in the imperial examination last year?" ”
Master Fu said: "It's that Ningjiang, the adults must have heard that this Ningjiang resigned from Beijing because of the death of the eldest princess, and somehow, he found the Nine Yin True Scripture left by the ancestor of the Zhengyi Sect thousands of years ago, spread the world, shook the entire rivers and lakes, and thus became the leader of the martial arts alliance in the states of Jiangnan and Yueling, this time, it seems that he crossed the line, as the leader of the martial arts alliance of Jiangnan and Yueling, he stretched out his hand to the long river. The head of the Hengyue Sword Sect, a master of the dignified grandmaster-level master, is also ambitious, and originally wanted to take advantage of this birthday to hold a martial arts conference and sit on the throne of the leader of the Changhe Martial Arts Alliance. ”
The prefect grabbed the teacup and gritted his teeth: "This Ningjiang is really eventful, you said that he is a good scholar, he doesn't know self-love, so he has to join in this kind of fun?" And what is the Nine Yin True Scripture, since it has been found, it should be handed over to the imperial court, even if it is not handed over to the imperial court, it is just a matter of keeping it private, it is necessary to make so many famous halls, and if you don't do it, you will run to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is really a collapse of etiquette, a collapse of etiquette. ”
Master Fu said: "Young man, he always thinks that he can change the world, my lord, you see that he is just a woman, and he doesn't even do Hanlin, you can know that this kind of person can't know what he is thinking at all." ”
The prefect frowned and said: "But this official doesn't understand, even if he is the leader of the Southeast Martial Arts Alliance, he went to the Changhe River to make trouble, but he announced the Nine Yin True Scripture to the world, and those Jianghu people can be regarded as inheriting his kindness, doesn't it say that Jianghu people value kindness the most?" Why are you coming at him now? ”
Master Fu said in a low voice: "Do you know, do you know, Shengmien, bear Mien?" ”
The prefect was thoughtful.
Master Fu said softly: "Those people in the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is to get together, eat meat in a big piece, drink wine in a big bowl, eat three cups, make a promise, your name is loud, praise them a few words, please have a few meals, they feel that they are taken seriously, and they can kill people and set fire to you." But like Ningjiang, a book is printed in thousands of copies, and everyone can get it, but no one is particularly treated, but the word 'affection' cannot be highlighted. What's worse is that a person who has worked so hard to get a cheat book will treat it as a family heirloom, and now everyone is sitting there, and the cheats are falling from the sky, and everyone has it, but they get what they deserve, as if someone else owes them in the first place. ”
continued: "Besides, when he did this, everyone said that he was good at the beginning, and he was like a saint, but after a long time, everyone thought about him, is he really so good? Is there really a saint in this world? So they stared at him with eagle-like eyes, and when he made a mistake, everyone burst into laughter and said, 'Look, I said he couldn't be so kind.' ”
The prefect muttered, "What do you mean......"
Master Fu said: "The current situation is like this, that Ning Jiang announced the Jiuyin True Scripture to the world, at the beginning, everyone gave a thumbs up and praised each other, but people's hearts are an interesting thing, when a person says he is good, he doesn't feel anything, when he hears that others are also saying that he is good, he will subconsciously think that he is really so good?" Could he just be a sanctimonious villain? Could it be just a traitor who uses intrigue and trickery? This kind of psychology will spread unconsciously, at first, everyone is only talking in private, and then discussing and discussing, just like the real thing. They don't say it on the surface, but behind the scenes, they can't help but think, saying that this person will buy people's hearts and minds, and that this person will be a beast when he is clothed. And when this man does something wrong, countless people will jump out and say, 'Look, I knew he was like this!' People have the same heart, the same heart, it is precisely because in the martial arts, everyone has inherited the kindness of Ningjiang, so everyone hates that he is a bad man, and any of his shortcomings will be magnified. ”
