Chapter 162: Benevolence

Buddha knife iron world into Yuzhou residence.

Tie Shicheng's gaze fell on Yang Qi indifferently, and said, "What happened to Yang Hou here?"

Yang Qi smiled slightly, although he was only about seventeen years old, but in the face of Tie Shicheng, the commander of the million-strong army in the eastern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the famous general Wujie, he was completely calm and did not have the slightest hint of stage fright. said flatly: "I have nothing to do, so I want to come to the general to ask for a few glasses of water and wine." Isn't the general not welcome?"

Tie Shicheng laughed three times, then calmed down, and said: "Yang Hou's visit to the cold house is really full of brilliance. But as far as I know, Yang Hou has no habit of drinking. ”

Yang Qi said quietly: "Everything has a first time. What's more, it is a great honor in life to be able to drink three cups with the world-famous Buddha sword Tie Shicheng. ”

Tie Shicheng showed a look of regret on his face and said, "If Yang Hou usually comes, I should drink three cups with you." But this time I came to Yuzhou to investigate the murder of the envoy of Beiyan, although there is no Jin Ge Iron Horse on the battlefield, and there is no beacon fire, but in general, it can be regarded as a war without gunpowder. Under the emperor's order, the case has not been solved, and he can't drink alcohol. ”

Yang Qi was solemn and said: "The general is worthy of being one of the five famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so self-disciplined, no wonder the emperor can be entrusted with the important task, guarding the eastern border, and commanding a million troops. ”

Tie Shicheng said with a smile: "Yang Hou is not a person in the army, so it is inevitable that he does not understand such precepts. But since there is no wine at the moment, can Yang Hou have a few words of small talk with him?"

Yang Qi smiled slightly and said, "It's a great honor to be able to chat with the Buddha Dao. But I wonder what the general wants to talk about?"

Tie Shicheng suddenly looked serious and said, "Intention, Yang Hou's intention today." I don't believe that Yang Hou simply came to beg for wine, what is the matter, but it doesn't matter. ”

Yang Qi also suppressed his smile and said: "The soldiers are fast, and the general is worthy of being a famous general on the battlefield, which is indeed a bit direct." But since the generals have said so, it is not easy to hide it below. ”

Tie Shicheng said: "Yang Hou, please speak." ”

Yang Qi said: "After a few days of investigation, the case of the murder of the Beiyan envoy has been raised and targeted. ”

When Tie Shicheng heard this, his heart moved, but he still kept a calm expression and said: "Since you have eyebrows and goals, why don't you just arrest the target and ask about it?" Yang Qi smiled and said nothing.

Looking at the smile on Yang Qi's face, Tie Shicheng was quite awake, and said with a straight face: "Could it be that the target is very big, and we can't easily arrest it?" Yang Qi nodded slightly.

When Tie Shicheng heard this, he was furious, and he took the case and said: "Betraying the country to seek glory, even if it is a great status, it should be sentenced to death immediately, why can't you be arrested? Yang Hou, are you afraid?"

Yang Qi showed a bitter face and said: "The general should not misunderstand, for those who have betrayed the country and sought glory, how can they be afraid if they can't break their bodies into thousands of pieces? It's just that this person's identity is special, if it is not handled well, the truth of the whole case will never be revealed." ”

Tie Shicheng was furious and said, "Who is this person?" Yang Qi just looked at the other party and didn't say anything.

Buddha Sword Tie Shicheng is one of the five famous generals, commanding millions of heroes in the eastern realm, relying not only on his strength in the Great Perfection of the Star God Realm, but also on his wisdom. Following Yang Qi's gaze, he soon had the answer in his heart. So he said softly: "Qingmian Hou." ”

The only way to make the truth of the murder of the Beiyan envoy forever sink into the sea is only Qingmian Hou, who is the presiding judge of this case, and only he has the conditions and ability.

Tie Shicheng was fierce by nature, and said impressively: "Even if it is a green-faced marquis, what can he do? As long as he really betrays the country to seek glory, I will definitely correct him on the spot." ”

Yang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if it can be proved that it was really Qingmian Hou's doing, the whole thing will be much simpler." But the problem at hand is that there is not enough evidence against him. At this point, he told all about his discovery, including the Black Fortress.

Tie Shicheng said in a cold voice: "Isn't it okay to attack the Black Fort directly?" After speaking, he changed his words: "Without real evidence, even if you attack the Black Castle, it cannot be proved that it was done by the Qingmian Hou." With his ability, he can find a substitute for the dead. As a prince, it is difficult for him to be convicted without sufficient evidence. ”

Yang Qi said: "I can find sufficient evidence to point against the Qingmian Marquis, but there is one thing that is quite tricky, and only the general can complete it if you look at the entire Yuzhou. ”

Tie Shicheng's eyes moved, and he said, "What's the matter?"

Yang Qi leaned over to Tie Shicheng's side and said softly, "If there is no mistake in the news below, there should be a ghost castle involved in this matter." ”

Tie Shicheng's face was gloomy, and he said: "Sure enough, it's the ghost castle, the group of rats that can't see the light." Just now, I was still thinking about why the Qingmian Marquis, who was the Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty, would betray the country to seek glory, but it turned out that the ghost castle was directing him behind the scenes. And said: "But what makes me even more curious is what kind of benefits the ghost castle promises, so that the dignified prince can commit treason?"

Yang Qi said: "No matter what benefits, no matter what hardships, as long as you commit treason, it is a capital crime." It's just that now that the ghost castle is involved, when the time comes, it will be necessary to take charge of the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the General Star God Realm. ”

Tie Shicheng said coldly: "The ghost castle not only murdered the emperor, but also made a big fuss in Jinling, trying to make the Great Zhou become the target of the public, and today it is unforgivable to make waves in Yuzhou." Even if they didn't participate in the killing of the Northern Yan envoys, I would have to break them into pieces. ”

Yang Qi said: "What we have to do now is not just as simple as dealing with the Ghost Castle and the Qingmian Hou, we must have the whole thing in broad daylight, so that Beiyan can be convinced and not fight." ”

Tie Shicheng was fearless, and said: "What kind of platform can the small country of Northern Yan get on? If they dare to send troops to offend, this general will definitely personally set foot on the Northern Yan King City." There are millions of troops in the East, but they haven't fought for a long time, and I'm worried that their swords and guns will rust. ”

Yang Qi said with a serious expression: "The way of the world is not to conquer with soldiers, if this is the case, no matter how powerful the empire is, there will be a day of defeat, because no one can truly be invincible forever." Only by convincing people with virtue can we dominate the four seas. How powerful the Celestial Empire was back then, in the end, it was precisely because the monarch had no way that the world attacked it in groups, and it could only be left behind in the long river of history. ”

When Tie Shicheng heard this, he was first startled, and then he looked at it and thought about it, and then he said affirmatively: "What a benevolent way, it is the invincible benevolent." Yang Hou, I can't do it for you. ”
