Yun Qijun now regretted his reckless move a little.

Originally, the master just let her act when she saw the opportunity, and she didn't necessarily have to turn her face and do it on the spot. But she felt that Zhao Yuanjin was just an ordinary prince, and he didn't seem to have too strong a guard force around him, so with the cultivation of himself and his two nephews, he could solve it directly, and he would have to continue to deal with this troublesome figure in the future.

Zhao Yuanjin's current power expansion and development speed is too fast, perhaps after Wu Zhence finally solved the imperial army, he turned back and found that a more powerful opponent had appeared around him.

worked hard, but in the end it was a wedding dress for others, which is by no means an acceptable result for the teacher.

Under normal circumstances, even if the guards around Zhao Yuanjin fought back desperately, at most they could leave Qinglin and Qingyuan brothers, and she herself would not even have minor injuries, but Zhao Yuanjin himself would definitely die.

As long as he is dead, the chaos of the princes in Jingzhou will be impossible for a while, and Wu Zhence will be able to dominate the south calmly in the future.

However, the consequence of the action was that this proud daughter of the sky in the line of Ling Cangshan did not expect that a young civil official who looked ordinary and unremarkable actually had magical means that could pose a deadly threat to her. The two nephews were killed by a single blow, and if she hadn't made the right decision to urge the secret method to escape, most of them would have to stay there forever and not be able to get out.

An innate pinnacle-level martial arts master, the strength and flexibility of his physical body are naturally far beyond ordinary people, Yun Qijun sealed the acupuncture points near the wound with his true qi, took out a sharp knife from his body, and endured the severe pain to get the metal warhead out.

"What the hell is this? Hidden weapons? Or firearms? None of them seem to be like ......."

She bandaged the wound, took out an elixir and swallowed it, then put the bullet in front of her eyes and examined it carefully.

This world also has firearms, but it is still in a rather primitive and simple stage, the rate of fire is extremely slow, the range is only twenty steps, the lethality is also quite limited, and the cost is not cheap, so it does not have much practical value.

This is the case for ordinary soldiers, and it is not even a thought about dealing with martial arts masters, so Yun Qijun looked at it without any results, so he could only put it away first.

“…… Now that this is the case, Zhao Yuanjin can't be killed, and there is such a big variable in the south, so he still has to rush back to the master as soon as possible and deal with it after telling the ancestor. She thought silently.

……

Yangzhou.

On the city wall made of bluestone bricks, Wu Zhence, who was covered in armor, stood by the battlement and muttered, staring into the distance with a deep gaze.

Nearly 30 years old, he is strong, resourceful and decisive, able to accept advice, and has not tasted defeat in the city since the incident. Therefore, there are many servants, and there are many capable people and wise men under his command, and he is recognized as the largest prince in the south and the hidden dragon with the highest prestige and popularity.

Now in the face of the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of elite imperial court elites, Wu Zhence does not feel worried, the Great Qi Imperial Court is already in decline, and the number of qi is about to run out. Now this is just a return to the past, as long as you can survive this hurdle, the foundation of the imperial court's rule in the south will completely collapse.

At that time, he will occupy the rich south, and he can raise at least 300,000 elite soldiers, and if he has the largest capital in the Central Plains, he will be able to dominate the world in the future.

"The king......," one of the chamberlains came over to salute and whispered.

Although he has not officially ascended the throne now, Wu Zhence has begun to call himself the king of Han, and his vassals around him are called so, and the same is true in the correspondence with other princes.

"What's the matter?" Wu Zhence asked lightly.

"Concubine Lan has just given birth, she is a little princess, and her mother and daughter are safe." The waiter said with a smile on his face.

When Wu Zhence heard this, there was a smile in his eyes: "Then let's go back to the palace, this king will go and have a look, and then order the internal affairs office to set up a banquet to entertain the ministers, and all the palace maids can receive a reward for one month." ”

The attendant kowtowed happily in thanksgiving.

The guards surrounded Wu Zhence and walked down the city wall, and the wide and gorgeous chariot of the King of Han was already waiting at the side, and after he sat on it, the team set off towards the palace in the city.

After a while, with the report of the inner attendant, an official with a cold expression came in from outside the bright yellow curtain and kowtowed to Wu Zhence on the main seat.

"Get up and speak."

Wu Zhence glanced at him and said in a gentle tone: "How is Chen Qing's errand?" ”

"Fortunately, the ministers did not disgrace their orders, and all the big families who did not obey the king, and secretly communicated with other princes and the imperial court have all been taken, and all the family properties have been confiscated. A total of 730,000 taels of silver, 239 boxes of pearls and jade, 3,700 horses of silk, 1,100 hectares of grain fields, and 350 hectares of mulberry fields......"

After the official surnamed Chen finished speaking, he took out a list of lists from his arms and presented them.

Wu Zhence took it and looked at it casually, and said with a little emotion: "The secretary has done a good job, and these belongings can be used for the expenses of the whole army for a period of time." Hey, what a hard cause......"

The major military affairs are immeasurable, and the war is together, and the gold and silver seas can be spent like flowing water, so Wu Zhence can only plan in many ways and rack his brains to raise money and materials to meet military needs. Such a thing as robbing the family and exterminating the clan is naturally the fastest way to get money.

However, the family of officials with bad intentions is limited after all, and out of the consideration of appeasing and buying people's hearts, this kind of thing cannot be done too much, and too much will inevitably affect Wu Zhence's reputation.

"Okay, let's put all the men and women of those families to death, and the young women will leave half of them to reward the meritorious servants, and the rest will be sold at a later date, so that you can get another sum of silver and two incomes." Wu Zhence finally ordered nonchalantly.

The official surnamed Chen was obviously in charge of doing dirty work, and he was not surprised at all when he heard this, and he bowed his head and retreated.

Righteousness does not practice business, mercy does not lead soldiers, let alone a man and a king? Since these families dare to disobey the king, they must have the consciousness of death and annihilation.

Wu Zhence sat silently for a moment, thinking of the little princess who had just been born, and a slight sense of disappointment appeared in his heart.

He has no close brothers, and he does not have many children, so far he has only a six-year-old son and four daughters, which still has a negative impact on his great cause.

In the era of monarchy, the number of heirs was a very important political issue. As the founding monarch, you must have at least five or more princes to ensure a stable foundation in the future. Considering the high rate of infant mortality in this era, it would be best to have more than 10 sons. Of course, the princess must also have some, ready to win people's hearts in the future and marry heroes and nobles.

Therefore, after Wu Zhence made a fortune, he recruited Meiji's favored concubines, planted a wide range of seeds, and hoped to give birth to a few more sons, but so far no obvious results have been seen.

"Well, I heard that the female cultivator of Ling Cangshan's lineage is quite good, and she may be able to ask for a few another day, but it's a pity that Yun Qijun is about to break through the realm of human immortals, and she will have to take over the Dao system in the future, and it is impossible to marry outside. Otherwise, you can really consider being included in the ...... of the harem," Wu Zhence thought with some regret.

……

Jingnan County.

"I've seen the ...... of the host"

In a big mansion, a full two hundred strong men who had changed into new clothes were kowtowing to Qin Feng on the steps, and Zhu Yuntai and Zhao Cheng were standing aside.

Originally, he only planned to select a hundred people, but Zhu Yuntai reported that there were too many qualified candidates, and considering his plan to form a chamber of commerce, Qin Feng relented and increased the first batch of guards to be recruited to two hundred.

"What does Childe think?"

Zhu Yuntai asked: "Their family backgrounds can be called innocent, and there are no diseases, many of them have been nurses of large families before, business house bodyguards, etc., and they have some foundation." In the future, as long as you practice diligently, you will soon be able to use things. ”

Qin Feng was quite satisfied after looking at it, so he nodded and said, "Then that's it, send the reward first." ”

A group of servants next to him came over with a box and opened it in front of everyone, and it was full of newly minted snow silver ingots, with a size of ten taels.

Zhu Yuntai announced in public: "One person can get twenty taels of silver, which is considered to be your settlement fee." In the future, each person will receive three taels of silver per month, one stone of corn, and two sets of new clothes. The food and lodging are all taken care of by the house, remember to work diligently and don't let your son down......"

This kind of treatment can be described as extremely generous, a family of four, the annual expenditure is only two taels of silver. Even Zhao Cheng next to him was a little envious, how could he have such a good treatment when he first joined the army? The lives of these guys are too good.

"In fifteen days, you will be able to receive your own blades and armor." Qin Feng finally said.

This time, he plans to go back to the main world to purchase, look for suitable metalworking manufacturers overseas, place orders in batches, and let them process and produce according to the drawings he gave, and the quality of the products produced will meet his expectations.
