Chapter Twenty-Five: The New Lord of Cankun

"A bold fanatic, how dare you commit murder in the Kankun Palace? I! Hearing the news, Feng Lei was the first to rush into the main hall, holding two knives and slashing straight at the neck of the Grand Duke.

"Wait, who's doing it?" The Metropolitan Governor unhurriedly put away the Sword of Atonement, and when he turned sideways to let Wind Thunder see a headless stone statue on the ground, Wind Thunder was so stupid that he forgot to swing his sword.

"My Lord Commander, could you please send troops to investigate the life and death of Lord Yingge and then arrest someone, OK?" The Grand Governor patted him on the shoulder meaningfully again.

"I'll tell you a story, Lord Chief! There was a city lord's child who had always coveted the city lord, but her mother didn't like him, and even hated him because he was neither male nor female. The long-standing child finally took advantage of the opportunity of the murderous death and the loss of her mother's backer to launch a military coup, brutally cutting off her mother's hands and feet, gouging out her eyes, cutting out her tongue, and soaking her in a wine vat, so that she could survive and not die, and she could watch her every day while becoming the lord of the city and enjoy the pleasure of revenge. And the city defense chief who was bought by his rhetoric and outrageous lies, and was willing to be his accomplice, was found to have hanged himself in his own house the next day. Miserable! Good story! “

After speaking, the Metropolitan Governor himself snapped and applauded.

After listening to this story, even an iron-like man like Feng Lei couldn't help but swish on his back for a while, and he didn't know whether to put down the knife in his hand or continue to chop.

"Save it, you can also see that this kid is usurping power and plotting to kill the city lord. was discovered by the heroic city defense commander, and corrected the law on the spot and the court. Since then, the general soldier has been admired by thousands of people, and he has become the lord of the city, married Bai Fumei, and reached the peak of his life. Oops, it's not good to say, it's possible, it's possible! Ha ha! With that, the Governor walked out of the palace with social steps.

"Humble position thanks to the Metropolitan Governor, humble position in this life only the Metropolitan Governor is the head of the horse!" Feng Lei behind him knelt down on one knee and made a bow to the Metropolitan Governor.

"Okay, good, the son can be taught! The child can be taught! “

In fact, Feng Lei's mood is extremely complicated, in terms of his job responsibility, he should take action to stop or even at least create some trouble for the Grand Duke, after all, it is fundamentally an outsider who interferes in the internal affairs of Kankun City; Morally speaking, he respects the Governor and distinguishes between grievances and grievances, and Philen takes advantage of the Governor's kindness and then falls into the well, these things are all handled by the people who handle these things, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and Philun's misfortune can only be attributed to him playing with fire*; Emotionally speaking, he still sympathizes with Philen, this child can basically be regarded as he grew up, and he has experienced far more difficulties and pains than ordinary people imagine.

From childhood to adulthood, Yingge searched for all the well-known witch doctors and priests on the continent of Kuznia, and used all kinds of inhumane and unheard of methods, saying that it was to cure his yin and yang disease, but in the failure again and again, Fei Lun was tortured and abused unspeakably, the most terrible of which was probably not physical but psychological, no one could share it for him, and he had no one to confide in, let alone share this pain.

When he was a little older, he saw his father die violently in front of him, and his uncle's hideousness and his mother's indifference made his young heart completely distorted, especially his perverted mother singing every night and changing the groom every year, which made him feel extremely ashamed. In Cancun City, although their family is still in power, walking outside, Philon can always faintly hear the whispers coming from behind him, they are laughing, they are ridiculing, they are belittling him and his mother, which makes him feel safe only by wearing a mask, and can he find solace in that small hidden space.

It all started with her, and if she hadn't given birth to him or killed him after he was born, none of this would have happened, he would never have forgiven, he would never forgive anyone. Therefore, what happens in front of us is both accidental and inevitable.

The regime change and purge movement in Kankun City seemed to have been completed overnight, which shows that Lord Wind and Thunder is still very fast. Early the next morning, there was a notice outside the palace gate and outside the city gate, which probably meant that the young city lord of Fei Lun took advantage of the end of the competition and the murder of the evil to organize a small group of illegal armed forces, kill the city lord Yingge, and try to usurp power and rebel, but was discovered in time by the heroic and upright city defense commander, and after a fierce fight, the rebel leader Fei Lun was killed, and the other rebels were all arrested or surrendered after a night of search and verification.

Under the strong and correct leadership of Lord Fenglei, Kankun City quickly restored normal order after experiencing this rebellion, and the production and life and property of the masses were effectively guaranteed, ensuring a stable and united political situation.

Most of these statements were given to the city lord of Fenglei by the Metropolitan Governor last night, and some staunch supporters of the Yingge family and political enemies of Fenglei in the city had been investigated and dealt with by the rebels overnight, and all the nine clans were exiled. As soon as Lord Feng Lei took office, the people's hearts could be unstable, and the military spirit must be stable, so it is necessary to increase the salaries of the soldiers, pay labor insurance, free scenic spots, and give children priority to the best schools and highways.

For ordinary people, whether it is Yingge or the masked man who is high up in the sky, it means nothing to them. Under this social system, the ruling class and the upper class have no obligation to feed the working people and the lower class, and mainly rely on superstition and force to suppress them. The people at the bottom also do not have the awakening of civic consciousness, as long as there is a place to settle down, they are satisfied. As for what is exploitation and what is cutting leeks. Sorry, don't care.

Feng Lei's behavior still made the Metropolitan Governor very satisfied, and he always felt that he was not wrong about this young soldier of the Four Haves. On the one hand, the wind and thunder buried Yingge and Fei Lun's mother and son, and sent people to ask the top craftsmen of the Kaman tribe to build extremely luxurious mausoleums for them at a high price, and move in after they were completed. On the other hand, in the name of taking up his new position, he announced to the whole city that both rich and poor, young and old, would be exempted from taxation for one year, and that political prisoners, especially those who had been convicted of insulting remarks to the mother and son in the past, would be arranged for labor posts and paid compensation.

After a few days of repairing, Xue Rengui, Lan Yu and others also rushed to report, and the two of them were very surprised to hear that the majority of the overseers had bloodlessly subverted the regime of Kankun City and cultivated a new pro-self force, and finally understood that surrendering without a fight was not an empty phrase. However, since it is a war, it must not be smooth sailing, when they saw Comrade Lu Bu who was always lying on a stretcher, they couldn't help but stick out their tongues, how powerful General Lu was, the crown of singles and the wound was as bad, in other words, they didn't dare to imagine the result.

Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Kuroya Tsuneyuki were looking forward to a bloody battle, the heavens did not fulfill their wishes, and they hugged their heads and cried in disappointment, tears and sideburns. Obviously, knocking out the few soft-footed shrimp sent by Philon to ambush the Grand Governor did not satisfy the two.

The breeze is gentle, and the moon shadow is sufficient. On the eve of parting, Feng Lei led his cronies to a banquet for the governor and several generals in his house. The two generals sat in all directions, and in the center were a few of the famous dancing girls and singers of Kankun City, singing and dancing.

"Are you really leaving tomorrow, Grand Duke?" The wind and thunder poured a glass of old wine for the Metropolitan Governor.

"Yes, Brother Wind and Thunder! Ah-good wine! The Metropolitan Governor drank it all, smashed his mouth and said, Fenglei's cellar is definitely a good wine, known as "five miles drunk". Although it is mellow and fragrant than the "scorching sun", it is not as flavorful as the scorching sun, because the scorching sun allows the governor to taste the taste of home.

"Brother Feng Lei doesn't know, due to some unspeakable reasons, Bendu has a long way to go, and he has no time to enjoy the scenery along the way!" The Metropolitan Governor sighed, holding the bronze wine bottle, and swayed in a daze.

"This farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again. What does the metropolitan governor need, as long as Feng has the ability to reach it, he must do his best and never break his word! Feng Lei raised the wine bottle, drank it all, and flipped it over.

"Wind and thunder, do you know why I'm optimistic about you?" Dadudu's eyes lit up, and he stared at the wind and thunder and said.

"The wind and thunder are dull, and I hope that the metropolitan governor will guide me!"

"Drink! Drink this cup and I'll tell you! “

"Good! Dry! “

"Because you're kind and smart! Remember when you threw in the towel? Brainless people will not admit defeat and will only be sent to death, and from the various ways you treat Fei Lun, I see the promise of a veteran who values old feelings, faithfulness, and responsibility, and I know that you also hate fierceness, and also hate all the evil in this Kankun City. “

At that moment, Feng Lei got up and walked in front of the Metropolitan Governor, bumped a glass with him and said: "Feng is a martial artist, but Uncle Fei Lun has been his confidant since he was in power, and their family treats Feng Mou well. Rao is like this, the love and hatred of this family has always stood on the position of not interfering, not partially, and not left and right. However, Philon went too far. Really, I don't want Kankun City to be destroyed in his hands like this. This is my home too! “

"Understood! Roger that! You didn't wake up because you didn't meet the person who gave you three moles, and I am! Ha ha! Drink! "Most of the governors are also very happy when the wine is thick, and they are feasting on the wind and thunder.

"Metropolitan Governor, thank you, what Feng said before is true, and he will never regret it!" Wind and thunder raised the wine bottle to the moon. The Governor knew that he was talking about helping him to ascend to the throne, so he slowly raised his glass and sang loudly: "Cheers friend, let everything flow smoothly." Take that past, treat that past as a hangover. “

"Governor, what are you going to do next?" Feng Lei gently placed the wine bottle on the stone table and asked solemnly.

"Heading north, it's too much of a delay to go back from Death Canyon, and it's not good for morale. I'm going to go straight to the northwest and go all out to take Carmen City. The Governor also put down the wine bottle and answered the wind and thunder clearly.

"Governor, there is a rumor that I don't know, I don't know if you've heard of it?"

"You mean the man from the black hole?"

"Exactly!"

"Haha, it's good to be tacit, just tacit!" The Metropolitan Governor picked up the wine bottle again, touched the cup on the Lei Shi table, and drank it all.

Wind Thunder's hand as he picked up the wine bottle trembled, and the wine almost spilled. He looked at the heroic, extraordinary, and wide-open Dadu Governor's heart, and he didn't know whether it was a dream or reality for a while.

"Metropolitan Governor, Feng has a reluctant request, I hope the Metropolitan Governor will be fulfilled!" Feng Lei said and hugged his hands, as if it was true.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" The Governor threw a grape into his mouth, smashing it on his nose as usual.

"Feng has a younger brother named Taishan, and now I am serving as the chief patrol soldier. Feng wants him to let him go through the experience with you and achieve a lot of Yinghua. “

"Wind and thunder, do you know the purpose of my visit?"

"Feng doesn't dare to say it!"

"Haha, since you don't dare to say it, it means that you guessed. Even if that's the case, do you feel free to entrust Brother Ling to your subordinates? “

"Life in the world, there is always death. If he can die well, Feng is willing to burn Pama for him and bury him, which can be described as the luck of the family, the luck of Kankun, and the luck of Kuznia! “

"Haha, good! Courageous and courageous! Wind and thunder, that's what I admire about you. I ask you, are you afraid of the Earth King Tsukasa and the Lord of Destruction? “

"Don't be afraid!"

"Why?"

"Feng is not even afraid of death, but he is also afraid of the living? Ha ha! “

"Good! Come, have another drink, don't get drunk and don't go home! “

A night of high resistance and hand-to-foot planing ended in an unforgettable tonight, Bai Qi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Heiya Tsuneyuki, Zhang Xianzhong and others were all drunk, and the result was Tuda and others who carried back to the camp one by one. The Governor did not return to the camp, but picked up two handfuls of Parmesan flowers from the ground, and unconsciously walked to the new grave of Philon at the back of the palace.

The Governor gently scattered the petals in front of the monument, and watched the petals whirling, rolling, and waving in the air in the moonlight, and the Governor's eyes were covered with a layer of white mist.

"Boy, let's go. This world is not for you. Let's go, the end of this pain may also be the beginning of another happiness. I hope you can let go of your hate. If you hate, please hate me alone. Just like these petals, they bloom passionately, delicately and fragrantly, and then dust returns to dust, and dust returns to earth. “

The next day, the army was ready to go. In addition to the 500 soldiers and 80 sand crocodiles originally brought by the Metropolitan Governor, Feng Lei sent 2,000 elite soldiers from Taishan Shuai to join the team, which was a big deal, and it was half of the troops of Kankun City as soon as he made a move.

"Wind and thunder, your hand is a bit big!" The Governor smiled and nodded.

"Haha, Metropolitan Governor, Feng has learned some skills from you. Leave enough troops for the new power to guard, in the down, in the lower stud! Feng Lei looked up to the sky and laughed, this old boy didn't learn anything else, he learned this.

"There can be a few beats in life! Walk! "The Governor walked back and forth, and he didn't look back. Toyotomi, Black Tooth, Lan Yu, Xue Rengui, Jielang, Taishan and others are around.

"How many beats can you have in life?" Feng Lei muttered to himself as he looked at the billowing wind and dust left behind by the mighty march of the army.

"Tarzan, how old are you?" During the march, the Governor called Taishan to his side to speak.

"Back to the Grand Duke, Taishan is thirty out of twenty this year!" Tarzan replied respectfully. This is called Taishan's young man's face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, heroic posture, strong and capable, and a red armor is very powerful.

"Can you find this way to Carman City?"

"Xia Guan found that he had accompanied his brother back and forth to and from Kankun Kaman several times."

"Okay, let's hear it." The Governor sat cross-legged on the ground and handed him a twig.

Tarzan also crouched down and drew on the sand with a branch, "There are three routes to Kaman City. The most recent one is to go straight to it. However, the road is treacherous, and you have to pass by the Lich Pool on the way. “

"Lich pool? What is that? Is it a bathing center? Is there any Crystal Love and Desert Storm? The Governor looked at him with great eyes.

Taishan naturally didn't know what the Metropolitan Governor was talking about, and continued: "This Lich Pond is a huge black basin, with a radius of more than ten miles, no water source, no grass, no birds on it, no beasts on it, and the whole is a barren land. It is rumored that everyone who walked in was bewitched by the lich, and finally gnawed themselves into dry bones, and no one came out alive. Tarzan said the back, his face was a little frightened, obviously this lich pool is still relatively deterrent.

"What about the other two?"

"It's an extra three days to get around from the west, but it's much safer, but it's a bit of a toll!" Tarzan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Tolls?" The Metropolitan Governor is very puzzled, is there a high-speed toll station here? Isn't this a clear display of private checkpoints and swagger?

"Yes, yes, there are two high mountains here, the wall stands thousands of miles, the name is axe worker and Wamei, between the two mountains there are only dozens of zhang wide for passing, it is a veritable line of heaven. There is a perennial tribe called the Fly People. The Flymen have been setting up checkpoints between the two mountains for thousands of years, and those who come and go, whether caravans or military princes, must pay a fee or they will not be allowed to pass. “

"Oh? So how do they get it? “

"Collect by head!"

"Charge per head? How much is one person? “

"One person, one and a half Dangaba or ten blue worms!"

"My mother, aren't they robbing openly? I have two thousand five hundred men here, will you not take me one thousand two hundred and fifty dengaba? What about your grandfather's, the second battalion commander and the second battalion commander? Bring me Lao Tzu's pasta, and let me give him a few to taste! Most of the governors blew their beards and stared at them, and their lungs exploded.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, there is a third way!" Taishan saw that most of the governors jumped to his feet angrily, and hurriedly comforted him.

"Damn, there's a third way? Let's listen to it, if it's still these dog crumbs pretending to be ghosts, why should I fight with them, dare to pluck the hair from the iron rooster and rub oil from the glass cat, is it too long? The Governor slammed his fist into the sand.

"This third road winds up from the east side, avoiding the first line of heaven and the Lich Pool, and requires an additional seven or eight days' foot, except for the long distance, and the difficulty of water and food supply, there is no obstruction. Generally, when there are many people, we all walk this way, which can save some tolls. “

"Ahh That is to say, you finally said that this is a provincial road, or a rural first-class road or something, no toll but far and slow, right? “

"Yes, that's pretty much."

"Well, no charge, no charge, detour." The Grand Governor rubbed his chin in thought.

"What is the choice of the Grand Duke?" Tarzan asked sultryly.

"Okay, that's it. Walking from the west, I first pulled out the gang of car bandits and road rage who were charging indiscriminately, and then returned to the middle road to level the widow's village, and finally went north to attack Kaman! With a thud, the Governor snapped the branches, stood up, and strode forward.

Leaving Tarzan standing there motionless, his eyes straightened.
