In the end, Chu Jing did not choose to join the army directly, but chose to defend a city.

This castle is called Injin Castle, located in the middle of the Shin Kingdom, and is considered to be the front line of the confrontation with other princes.

As long as Renjin City is stabilized, the Seven Princes can develop in the south of the Shin Kingdom with peace of mind, of course, this development may be very rapid, and even within a few months, they will unite several city lords and send troops to the north.

Compared with killing 'innocent' soldiers on the battlefield, defending the city is still more reliable.

The previous city lord of Renjin City has become an important general under the Seven Princes because of the large number of generals under his command and his deep understanding of the way of using soldiers, but his foundation in Renjin City is still there.

Shen Yunhe stayed in Tiannan Mansion, and the tomb of his deceased wife was still there, so he would not leave easily.

Fortunately, the Seventh Prince also needs someone to sit firmly in the rear, and it is just right for him to stay.

The Seventh Prince left in a hurry the day after he came to Tiannan Mansion, and at this critical moment, he had to race against time to get ahead of the other princes.

Chu Jing felt that if he left his honor guard behind, the speed would be much faster, but the real orders were conveyed by the heralds, and the most important job of the Seventh Prince was only to go over and greet him in person.

At the end of the day, so-called political friendship is no different from playing between children, who haven't seen each other for two days and have forgotten your last name.

The pair of women in white are the signature business cards of the Seven Princes, and he must always be by his side.

"I'm going too!"

For some reason, Qin Jian and Qin Yue's siblings decided to move to Renjin City. In Qin Jian's words, it was Tiannan Mansion that was too comfortable, which made his muscles and bones start to rust.

A killer, when he gets used to comfort, then he is not far from death.

Injin City is a good place. There are army guards on the surface, but there is an assassination plan that can have an enemy behind the scenes, oscillating between safety and danger, which is very exciting for Qin Jian.

Qin Yue followed Qin Jian together, and they would not be separated.

And Zirui, she seems to be with Chu Jing.

This made Shen Xiaoye very unhappy, and for some reason she was the only one left, no, there was also a blue smoke, but she didn't know martial arts.

"No, you stay with Lan Yanru. ”

Chu Jing refused.

"Do you think I'm weak and can't help you? My father is here, and there is no danger here!"

Shen Xiaoye was very annoyed: "Hmph!

"You ......"

"I'm going to fight you and show you my strength!"

Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but say, he pulled out the Qiushui Sword and stabbed towards Chu Jing, he knew Chu Jing's strength, and he didn't keep his hand at all.

Before Chu Jing could dodge, Zi Rui's fingers beside him moved slightly, and he smiled playfully: "Fixed!"

A small purple flower bloomed in front of Chu Jing out of thin air, facing the tip of Shen Xiaoye's autumn water sword, no matter how hard Shen Xiaoye tried, he couldn't stab an inch forward.

This is the gap in absolute strength, and it is not surprising that Zirui can transform from a tree to a person.

Shen Xiaoye's eyes were red and stared at Chu Jing for two seconds, and as soon as the Qiu Shui Sword in his hand was loosened, he ran away in a huff.

"This ...... Isn't it too much. ”

Ren Jincheng is not very dangerous, Chu Jing just wants Shen Xiaoye to stay and accompany Lan Yanru, he doesn't want Shangguan Xiaobai's people to have any more contact with Lan Yanru, and Shen Xiaoye is still young, he is afraid that Shen Yunhe will be worried.

Zi Rui shrugged indifferently: "I can see what Shen Xiaoye is thinking, the battlefield is really not suitable for her...... In fact, the battlefield is not for most people......"

Zirui can easily see through the guards and entourage around the Seven Princes, which of them are willing to die, one by one is just for a meager salary, and they have to sell their lives for the master, in fact, their fate is quite sad.

Chu Jing understood what Zirui meant, Shen Xiaoye was now like those hot-blooded youths, who didn't understand the importance of their lives, and wanted to do something 'big'.

There is only one life, and Chu Jing didn't feel the value of life before, but after crossing over, he ......

It turns out that you think that what you have lost is only yourself, but in fact the whole world.

Chu Jing lost the world he had lived in for a long, long time.

Does the world still exist when man dies? Of course it is, but for him personally, this is the end of the world.

Chu Jing felt that with Shen Xiaoye's age and strength, he could get in touch with some unpleasant things.

She lives in a world where not only wolves eat lambs, but also "werewolves" eat "sheep people".

In the end, Chu Jing still didn't comfort Shen Xiaoye, this is also an experience, he will grow after more experience, and he wants Shen Xiaoye to understand the world in his own way.

Chu Jing, the Qin family brothers and sisters, and Zi Rui got into the carriage, accompanied by twenty Blackwater Knights - Chu Jing never knew that there were so many Blackwater Knights, maybe the old blackcrow had other secrets.

It's strange to say, Chu Jing easily accepted the fact that the old crow was unusual.

The journey of Renjin City was not short, but the speed of the carriage was very fast, and only three days later, Chu Jing saw his city.

He is the lord of this city!

In the gloomy sky, black clouds covered the sky over Renjin City.

The damp mist in the air was visible to the naked eye, and Chu Jing only then remembered that it was already autumn.

Renjin City is not high and cool in autumn, but the humidity is pressing, and the dark clouds seem to destroy this once beautiful city, a sense of déjà vu on the eve of a storm.

It's not at sea, of course there are no storms, and thunderstorms also happen in the summer, which ...... It's the rhythm of collecting clothes in the rain.

Chu Jing wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

Horse-drawn carriages sped through the streets, and the sewage left behind by neglect was squeezed and sputtered by the wide wheels, and mercilessly splashed on the pedestrians on the side of the road.

No yelling, no one jumping to their feet, it's a lifeless city.

Zirui didn't know when she got into Chu Jing's carriage, and her strength allowed her to appear in any place quietly.

She lifted the corner of the curtain and glanced at the dilapidated streets outside the carriage, and her eyes rolled slightly before she said, "Who would have thought that this city would have been alive and well a few days ago? ”

There was reminiscence and sarcasm in her tone. Once upon a time, another city around her was destroyed overnight.

Chu Jing didn't speak, he was holding a small piece of red crystal in his hand, that is, an ordinary soul stone, and it was thrown up and down, like a gold coin.

Gold coins are gamblers' playthings, and red crystals can perfectly distinguish Chu Jing from ordinary gamblers.

The red crystal is not enough, so it can only be used as an ornament, or as a medicine guide for Qin Yue, and some small carvings can also be made.

"The owner of this city is me now, I don't like the way she is now, it has to be dressed up so that I can see her beautiful side, otherwise it ......"

"Maybe an empty city would be better. ”

Chu Jing laughed as he spoke, and the city under the dark clouds became even more depressed under his laughter.

The team left by the previous city lord prepared an unusually grand dinner for Chu Jing, and almost all the figures with heads and faces who remained in Renjin City came.

Even if they didn't know Chu Jing's identity before, they knew it at the dinner.

The importance of Ren Jincheng, there is no reason why the Seven Princes would send an ordinary person to preside over the overall situation.

Wu Zhuangyuan, Concubine, Pingxi Gong, Pingxi General, the disciple of the demon beast butcher Shen Yunhe, and the disciple of the First Martial League, all of them are so prominent, no matter how dissatisfied others are, they can't find any fault.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came softly, and the noise of the noisy dinner party suddenly lowered down, and even the background music slowly stopped.

Everyone's eyes were wandering around, wanting to see who was so bold to express their dissatisfaction at the banquet of Pingxi Gong.

Chu Jing doesn't need to look carefully, he is a martial artist, and he can easily identify the identity of the other party.

Chu Jing's gaze was projected on the man's face, a very ordinary face, if he saw it on the butcher who killed the pig, his face was full of meat, and there was a scorn between his eyebrows, it was a pity that there was no scar on his face, but the one with a scar was a warrior, not a butcher.

Although it was the first time they met, Chu Jing recognized this person.

Before coming, the old crow's people began to collect information about Ren Jincheng, and the day before Chu Jing arrived, halfway through, the person who reported back stuffed a stack of information into Chu Jing's hands, and this person's appearance was impressive.

Feng Jiancheng!

This man who looked like a butcher was one of the deputy lords of Injin Castle, and the other did not attend the banquet, and it was heard that he was walking drunk on the castle tower a few days ago, and fell and broke his leg.

Many people have witnessed this scene, and it is definitely not a disguise.

Some people say that he deliberately broke his leg in order to leave Injin City, and others say that he was drunk by himself and it was just an accident.

Among the information Chu Jing obtained, there was a file that he and Feng Jiancheng did not match.

However, although Feng Jiancheng had an ugly appearance and a poor relationship with his colleagues, he was born in the army and had a good set of military skills, which was why the previous city lord kept him.

In fact, if Chu Jing hadn't intervened, the title of city lord would definitely fall on Feng Jiancheng's head.

"Subordinate Feng Jiancheng, I've seen Lord Chu!"

Feng Jiancheng clenched his fists and said with a full of anger, "Can the lower official ask your lord a question?"

Chu Jing was straightened in front of the emperor, how could he be stage frightened on such an occasion.

What's more, what's the point of these people? His city doesn't need so many people with heads and faces, he wants absolute rule.

Chu Jing was expressionless and nodded quietly.

Feng Jiancheng bared his teeth and grinned, "I don't know how old the adult is this year?"

The exaggerated tone and arrogant expression caused a commotion around them, they were not so bold to laugh at a noble duke in public, unless they were in another prince's camp.

The corners of Chu Jing's mouth curled, and he was smiling slightly, and after inspecting the crowd for a week, he asked, "What is the decree of the Kingdom of Xin?"

No one answered,

Chu Jing nodded to himself, "Oh, Xinguo is already in chaos, and I'm afraid the previous decree won't work." What does that decree look like?"

Everyone still looked at Chu Jing with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he meant.

Of course, the decree of Injinseong is the decree of Shinkoku, how can it be different?

"Renjin City has changed masters, so her previous decree is also null and void, and now let's start issuing a new decree. ”

Chu Jing glanced at Qin Jian, and then at Feng Jiancheng, "I said, you are guilty of capital crimes!"

The surrounding crowd exclaimed, and Feng Jiancheng's pupils suddenly contracted together, and he looked at Chu Jing incredulously.

"You ......"

It's a pity that he didn't even have time to ask a complete sentence, Qin Jian's sword had already slashed through his throat and instantly returned to his position.

Feng Jiancheng made a 'gege' sound in his throat, every muscle on his face was beating, his nostrils gradually expanded, and he grew up the most, sticking out his tongue.

Blood was dripping from the tip of his tongue.

At this moment, the crowd at the banquet seemed to have exploded, the women screamed, and the men were so frightened that they spread on the ground, and some even wet their pants.

They remained on the front lines during the war, not necessarily because of their courage, but more likely because of greed.

Chu Jing tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, making a "knock knock" sound, and the scene suddenly turned quiet.

When everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Jing, Chu Jing slowly stood up, brushed the folded luxurious robe, and said in a low voice: "From today on, I am the only law in Renjin City. ”

After speaking, Chu Jing got up and left, Qin Jian and the others followed behind him, got into the carriage, and headed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zirui took a book and quickly flipped through it beside Chu Jing, there were many such books in her mustard seed bag, and she flipped through them casually when she couldn't figure it out.

"What do you mean by that? Do you know how much they are afraid of you now, many people may flee the city tonight, they will not follow the Seven Princes anymore, they will not be on the same side as you anymore. ”

Chu Jing shrugged indifferently, it would be better if there was a little maid to massage behind him, "I don't need them, or I need what they left for me." ”

"I'm very dissatisfied right now, she needs to clean it up, especially the moths. ”

Chu Jing didn't continue, because the City Lord's Mansion had arrived.

Although Feng Jiancheng coveted the position of the city lord, he only dared to complain, and did not dare to really do anything in private, he still had enough loyalty to the previous city lord.

Looking at the talismans and seals in the City Lord's Mansion, the corners of Chu Jing's mouth once again showed laughter.

"Qin Jian, North Gate, I'll go to the East Gate, Zirui South Gate, how about Xiao Yue be in charge of the West Gate?"

"Me?" Qin Yue looked at Chu Jing unexpectedly.

"Well, don't worry about casualties, it's a very simple task. ”

Qin Jian nodded, and asked Qin Yue to agree as well.

Zi Rui looked at the talisman in her hand, as well as the treason warrant issued by the city lord, and suddenly felt sympathy for those people, "Isn't this too much?"

"It's war!"

Things went even more smoothly than Chu Jing imagined, the previous city lord trained the soldiers very well, at least after knowing Chu Jing's identity, he stood firmly on his side.

In fact, they didn't have a choice, unless they betrayed the previous city lord and chose to sacrifice Renjin City to the other princes, obviously after losing the leader, they didn't have the courage to do so, and the others didn't have this prestige either.

There were indeed people who wanted to leave overnight on this night, but the number of people was not very large, and even after Chu Jing showed a brutal dictatorship as soon as he arrived, many people stayed and watched.

As said before, they stayed not because of courage, but also because of human greed.

Now there are not too many cheap things in Renjin City, and the real estate is almost half sold and half given away, as long as Renjin City is not breached, they are all rich after the war.

Qin Jian showed what it means to be cruel at the north gate, not a single person was left alive, and even found a few disobedient soldiers among his own side and killed them on the spot.

Qin Yue and Zirui were the easiest, one used drugs to help, the other was terrifying, in fact, when they were surrounded by officers and soldiers, most of the people who wanted to leave gave up resistance.

There was no killing at Chu Jing's east gate, and after seeing Pingxi Gong personally 'greet' them, no one dared to resist at all.

After dawn, Chu Jing was in the center of Renjin City, outside the City Lord's Mansion, escorting those people and their property for a public trial.

The lifeless Ren Jincheng finally had a hint of life.

The numb people finally showed envious eyes after seeing real money, a large number of silver tickets, and jewelry, calligraphy and paintings.

That's what the people wanted, and if they had these things, they could escape the city and go to a beautiful place without war, just like everyone else.

The rest of the people who had attended the banquet last night also arrived one after another, and the new lord of the city made them fear from the depths of their hearts, he wanted not only power, but also their wealth, as well as fame and life.

"Lord of the City, they don't want to rebel...... Betrayal of the Seven Princes. ”

A trembling old man came over, he was a well-known old man in the area.

The old man can rely on the old and sell the old, and almost everything that offends people will recommend a famous old man to come.

"Betraying the Seventh Prince...... No, they have betrayed me, and while I have tried to protect the peace of the city, they have chosen to flee, which has deeply damaged the people's confidence in me, the new lord of the city, that they deserve a fair trial. ”

The old man nodded helplessly, and his long white beard was rubbed back and forth by him in his hand, "What is the fair trial of the city lord?

"Of course not, the laws of the country of faith are in peacetime, and in wartime new laws are naturally issued. ”

"Can you take a closer look at the rules of the new law?"

"Of course, the wartime decree of Injin City is very simple, that is, unified management, whether it is a family, nobles, commoners, officials, everyone must be managed, and the most basic thing is to eat the same food together. ”

The old man's eyes widened, looking very confused, and he didn't understand what Chu Jing meant at all.

"Average, in wartime, all must be average. Chu Jing added.

"What? You're saying you're going to take our money and food and give it to the untouchables?"

A smart man shouted hysterically from behind, and the others were completely shocked by the words, rich and poor.

The rich are frightened, but the poor have an unimaginable sense of happiness when they are hit by a big pie falling from the sky.

Average, that's a wonderful word.
