Chapter 299: Xiong Tingbi's Decision
Seeing that Wu Xin was sprayed by Zhang Daniu and was powerless, Little Gonzalez hurriedly fled.
Wu Xin was the deputy commander of the dignified Jinyi Guard, and he was also the hero who smashed the spy group of Wang Huazhen and Sun Degong, and he did not dare to fight those corpses at all.
Although it is an extremely rare skill to be able to eat corpses as nutrients, it is a very common skill to make corpses into necromantic casting materials, and most mages have done this kind of thing to some extent, and Gonzalez Jr. only has the best conversion efficiency.
Of course, even in the Shirek cultural circle, where the funeral rites were much simpler, such behavior was never allowed, and stealing the body was a serious crime that inevitably brought the death penalty.
Wu Xin just said a few words against thick burials and in favor of thin burials, and all of them were sprayed like this, and if little Gonzalez, who was far inferior to him, was discovered, the way he gained his strength would definitely be a dead end.
"Come with me."
Gonzalez Jr. had not walked a few steps when he ran into Villefort.
Villefort led little Gonzalez out the back door, and then came to the altar of the Yellow Dragon.
The corpses of the Jin merchants, their families, and their retinue were hung on shelves in the altar.
"Sacrifice your lord, give us the corpse, we will throw it away to feed the dogs." Villefort said a few words to a yellow priest, and then offered a letter of silver.
"Whatever you do, but you must not let the families of these traitors take the bodies back, and never allow them to be buried, this is the will of His Majesty the Yanhuang Dragon." The priest took the silver and emphasized one side again.
"Definitely feed the dogs, definitely feed the dogs." Villefort winked Gonzalez Jr. in his eyes.
Gonzalez Jr. didn't pay attention to Villefort's run at all, whether the dog was a dog or not was just a matter of tongue, he wanted strength.
One by one, he examined the corpses of the traitors, all of whom had undergone terrible torture. Of course, this is still too small compared to the crimes they have committed.
This fits Gonzalez's needs well.
However, he still sighed very melancholy, those corpses that were eaten by the brain-drinker Armin were also full of desecration and corruption, and for him, they were also the best quality nourishment.
"Don't be too disappointed. My friend Gonzalez, the Jin Shang and their minions, who are only related to Wang Huazhen and Sun Degong, numbered more than a hundred, and now only half of them are dead, and I will pass on the remaining half to you as soon as possible. Together with Gonzalez Jr., Villefort took the fully violent Jin merchants off the shelves, "The list of those who can survive has been determined, and those who confess now will not be treated leniently." ”
"It's so little, can't you just expand the scope of the reconnaissance? Dig a little deeper into the elven spy and possible elven spy?! "Gonzalez Jr. doesn't care about being strict in his confessions, he just wants as many corpses as possible.
"Who's to say it isn't." Villefort thought the same thing, and he slapped a decaying corpse so hard that it fell apart at once.
Gonzalez Jr. hurriedly picked up the pieces of the corpse and put them in their car.
"Alright, don't talk nonsense." Galilei also came, and he sharply stopped the two guys' nonsense, "Although the Jin Shang has fallen. But the people behind them didn't fall, you know to kill these traitors. How much hatred have we incurred, and the shareholders behind these people all want to take revenge on us. ”
"You can't dare to chase profits because you're afraid of retaliation." Gonzalez Jr. did think so.
Galilei looked at his lustful eyes and smiled coldly, and he leaned into Galilei's ear and said a few words.
"Really. Really give me that thing?! Gonzalez Jr. swallowed.
"As long as you do what we ask you to do." Galilei admired Wu Xin's plan as he pushed it forward, "Tonight or tomorrow morning, the opportunity will come." ”
"Is this okay? I'm not in a position to bring down such a big man. Gonzalez Jr. was a little worried.
"Of course we had already arranged it, without your help. There is also a ninety percent certainty, don't miss the opportunity. After Galilei finished speaking, he entered the Yanhuang altar with a few Yanhuang priests, talking and laughing.
The Yan Huang priests were extremely respectful, and they diligently led the way for him one by one.
"This guy is the one who can turn into a dragon?" Gonzalez Jr. watched with envy as Galileh received a courtesy he could not have imagined.
Villefort was also jealous of him: "Well, Deputy Commander Wu is the rescuer who moved from his father, I don't know what's going on, I will call him every day at the ceremony, okay, I'll go first." Villefort couldn't stand the smell of the corpses, and he didn't even ask what the conversation meant.
Gonzalez Jr. loaded the corpses into the car, which was not very serious for him, and he loved the smell of corpses.
……………….
Marquis Gonzalez and Han Chuming begged to see Xiong Tingbi together, and then handed him Ye Xianggao's letter of unknown significance.
Although the content on it is vague, there is almost no substance.
But Xiong Tingbi immediately understood what Ye Xianggao meant, and he asked playfully: "He came to give me such a thing through Wu Sangui?" Hmph, it is really a national misfortune that the dignified head and the chief assistant do not want to serve the country, but only want to protect their own factions and disciples! ”
Later, Han Chuming relayed Ye Xianggao's other conditions.
"Let me recommend the Governor?" Xiong Tingbi sneered, "What other capable man has not been sent?" ”
"Anyway, it is impossible for Zhang Heming to come and be the governor. Zhang Heming is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and if he goes out, he will naturally be a strategy. Han Chuming accepted tens of thousands of taels of silver from Wu Sangui, but this was not the main reason why he accepted the other party's request, "Whoever is appointed as the governor can save a little face." ”
"Hmph, from Yang Hao to Wang Huazhen, they have pushed out one waste after another, and the situation in Liaodong will come to this point." Xiong Tingbi was very dissatisfied with the central boss, "If Emperor Shenzong died, they didn't exclude me together, why didn't they lose Liaoyang and Shenyang, and now they dare to deceive the emperor in order not to expose Wang Huazhen's incompetence?!" ”
"My lord, we should focus on the big picture." Han Chu's life persuaded Xiong Tingbi hard, "A little bit of honor and disgrace for Jinyiwei." Where can it compare to the lives of millions of people outside the border? ”
"The big picture? I care about the overall situation, these Donglin parties don't care, just eat and take cards. Xiong Tingbi roared angrily, in fact, he also ate a lot, not too much, "Think of some dream-like strategies all day long." This time, if it weren't for Jinyiwei discovering Sun Degong's true face, they would have pitted Guangning City, this is outside Shanhaiguan, our last big city, and now they want to harm Jinyiwei again, is it the emperor who abolished all the factory guards, they will be happy. ”
As a civilian official, Xiong Tingbi also doesn't like factory guards, but anyone who understands political principles a little. will understand that the emperor must have his own eyes and ears.
"But Jin Yiwei does persecute the virtuous ministers, Wu Xin has blackmailed the big families of the entire Guangning City in the past few days, is everyone related to the Jin merchants?" Gonzalez asked.
"This is because Jinyiwei has been controlled by greedy eunuchs for too long, and Jinyiwei cannot be handed over to eunuchs, and should also be responsible to the cabinet." Xiong Tingbi's words are completely untenable.
This is Xiong Tingbi's weakness, he is noble, but not noble enough. He was mean, but not mean enough. And he is unwilling to carry the black pot on people.
"Of course Jinyiwei should exist." Han Chuming supported every political principle of Xiong Tingbi, "But they should serve the emperor in Beijing, here, on the front line of resistance to the elves, there should not be a second voice, and Lord Xiong presides over the overall situation." Things will get better soon. ”
"Well, the Overseer is superfluous." Xiong Tingbi nodded, no commander would really like the prison army, "But this time the Jinyi Guard did play a role, if the elves attacked." Sun has to work internally, and things will be out of control. ”
"But we didn't lose Guangning after all, and even if we didn't have Jinyiwei, we would have been able to catch this traitor in time." Marquis Gonzalez had already given up the idea of having a big fight with Wu Xin, but Han Chuming gave him so many benefits, and Wu Sangui provided such a good backer, it was really impossible to do it again, "Sun Degong is so suspicious at first glance, didn't you let us investigate him a long time ago, Lord Xiong?" ”
"I asked you to investigate him?" Xiong Tingbi was a little puzzled, he was shrewd and capable, but he was not a foolish person.
"Didn't you say that Sun Degong's behavior is suspicious?" But what the Marquis of Gonzalez said was not entirely a lie, "Then I'll investigate him." ”
Xiong Tingbi did say this.
"Then we investigated a lot of evidence of his crimes, he is so suspicious, how can he not find the guilt?" Marquis Gonzalez said as if he could really deal with Sun Degong, "Even if we don't have Jinyiwei, we will definitely be able to grasp Sun Degong's handle, in the end, isn't the overall situation outside this pass still in your hands, Lord Xiong?" ”
"What's more, we don't mean to slander them as Wang Huazhen's party." Han Chuming wanted to do this, but he really couldn't do it, "We just question their degree, how can we casually kill the second-rank master?" Even if the emperor wants to kill the governor, he can't do this, right? ”
"That's right, let them go back to Shanhaiguan first, and wait for the emperor's instructions." Marquis Gonzalez chimed in.
Xiong Tingbi hesitated.
Han Chuming looked at Marquis Gonzalez with great satisfaction, this was the original intention he brought this person here, to relieve Xiong Tingbi's psychological burden and strengthen his sense of power.
Xiong Tingbi knew that he had not asked Marquis Gonzalez and his team of soldiers to investigate Sun Degong, and that Marquis Gonzalez was misleading him, but this was a lie he expected, a "truth" that he expected.
This is not entirely unfounded.
In essence, this is also a side quest of the plane, although the Spaniards have not received direct orders, they have the resources and backers to fight against Sun Degong.
But they weren't smart enough, and they didn't realize how serious this matter was, just like the rest of the Bright Empire, they only thought that Wang Huazhen and Sun Degong were dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, but they never expected that the elves had infiltrated and rebelled against Sun Degong through Li Yongfang.
"If you keep these brocade guards, even if Liaodong is recovered, they will say that it is all thanks to Deputy Commander Wu to win Sun Degong, and it is not your credit if you win. If things go wrong and the battle is lost, then they won't say that it is Jinyiwei's fault, have they caught a traitor, it must be your fault Lord Xiong, even Wang Huazhen, a fool, is also Lord Xiong's fault, after all, you are a strategy. Han Chuming's words reached Xiong Tingbi's heart, "Only by driving away that group of brocade guards, Lord Xiong, you are the true strategy, no matter whether you win or lose, Lord Xiong, you will carry it on your shoulders!" ”
"What's more, with Lord Xiong in charge of the overall situation, how can we fail?" Marquis Gonzalez really wants victory, he is counting on Xiong Tingbi to lead a large army to raze Hetuala, of course, in this process, if Wu Xin can be sent out, it will be the best, "We will not only wipe out the Jianzhou Elf!" When you return to the center, you will definitely be able to enter the cabinet, and then the Zhongxing Empire will be a matter of course! ”
"Yes, if the power is in me, then the east affairs will be peaceful, and if you enter the cabinet and assist the government, then the world can do things, Zhang Jiangling can do it, and I can do it." Xiong Tingbi finally nodded, Zhang Jiangling was Zhang Juzheng, the last powerful politician of the Bright Empire.
However, he was still a little worried: "But when Jinyi Wei exterminated Sun Degong, he performed so well, and those few rounds of powerful spells were just enough, and Ying Long, who flew in the sky, couldn't contribute to the great cause of recovering Liaodong, it's a pity, is there a way to leave that one behind?" I can speak well for him in front of the emperor. ”
"Jinyiwei are villains who don't care about the overall situation, and when they see that they can't get a big credit alone, they must run." Gonzalez didn't want Galilei to stay, he hoped that they would get out of the way as soon as possible, "Lord Ye asked Wu Sangui to deliver the message, isn't it just to tell Lord Xiong that the Liaoxi generals will fully support the Lord in the future." ”
The Marquis Gonzalez has also been in the Spanish officialdom for so long, and he is also responsible for being the Habsburg Emperor to eradicate the sharp knives of the local powerful factions, which he is also very good at understanding.
"Hateful, hateful." Xiong Tingbi said hatefully, "Selfishness misleads the country, selfishness misleads the country." ”
"I can try." Han Chuming arched his hand and said, "Although I don't think it has much to do with it, I don't think it's necessarily Ying Long, the light was not good that night." Fools and fools always say they saw dragons, and I think some kind of powerful bird might have that effect. ”
Han Chuming's judgment is very sharp, and he deserves to be a powerful mage.
"Well, that's how it should be." Marquis Gonzalez agreed.
Han Chuming continued: "And the power of that transformation is so huge, there must be a corresponding price, at least it is not a power that can be used casually, otherwise this druid would not work for the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, such a person, why not serve the emperor directly?" ”
"With Lord Xiong's leadership, and Ye Shoufu no longer being hindered, with or without that big bird, the Jianzhou elves are a dead end!" The Marquis Gonzalez was confident.
"When the Qin mission from Beijing comes, we will take out the Jinyi Guard." Xiong Tingbi made up his mind. (To be continued.) )
