Chapter 7: Life and Death I
"Count him lucky this time, next time I meet him, see how I clean him up!" Yun Tianjia and Gong Luoluo gave up their lives to pursue Seng Jiujie, but they went around the hills and dense forests a few times, but finally let him run, and even the spirit locked couldn't find him, and they were indignant in their hearts, dropped a few cruel words, and returned to Huangxi Town in a daze.
Gong Luoluo said: "It's the first time I've seen you so angry. ”
Yun Tianjia nodded and said, "Monk Jiujie, this person is extremely cunning and vicious, and he is really so bad that he is bleeding pus. If you run into him alone, be cautious, don't be deceived by his words and appearance, and if the time is right, it's better to slaughter him first!"
Gong Luoluo smiled slightly, and thought to himself: "A stinky monk deserves such a high evaluation? I want to see what he has to fool me." ”
Wang Yuting, the archers Zhang brothers, the shirtless man Hong Liang, the gray-robed old monk Withered Ye and others, with the assistance of Yun Tianjia and Gong Luoluo, took the opportunity to kill dozens of extremely vicious bandits. Seeing that the situation was not good, most of the rest of the gang fled, leaving only a dozen stupid and slow runners as prisoners, who were being tortured.
Wang Yuting led the Zhang brothers over to greet Yun Tianjia and Gong Luoluo, and learned that Yun Tianjia was the envoy of the whole army sent by the county lord He Xiaoduo to Hanyuan County, and he made up his mind.
In terms of official rank, Wang Yuting was originally the governor of Huazhou, the soldiers and horses of Si Yizhou, from the fifth grade, this time he was transferred to the county guard of Hanyuan County, and he was promoted to the fifth grade, and Yun Tianjia was previously in the army in other parts of Western Xinjiang, and he was the seventh grade, because He Xiaoduo sent Yun Tianjia to be the envoy of the whole army, so he was promoted to the second level and hung the rank of captain of the military academy, but it was only the sixth grade, two levels lower than Wang Yuting's grade.
However, Wang Yuting not only did not dare to put on an official stand with Yun Tianjia, but was respectful and humble, and regarded himself as inferior.
First, Yun Tianjia is not only stronger than him in personal cultivation, but also a world-famous high-achieving student of the First Star Academy, and a rare five-star divine arithmetic in ancient times; second, Yun Tianjia is a close subordinate that He Xiaoduo has cultivated with great concentration, although the current grade is not high, but the future is unlimited, and his status and strength must not be measured by the grade of ordinary officials. Not to mention that Yun Tianjia also rescued him in time and saved the lives of a group of them.
The Tuhao Empire is divided into a total of twenty-eight states, six states in the west, five states in the east, seven states in the south, five states in the north, and five states in the middle. Each state has more than ten counties, and each county is divided into ten or twenty counties.
In Yun Tianjia's view, a state in the Tuhao Empire is equivalent to a province in the previous life, and Wang Yuting is like being transferred from the director of the provincial public security bureau to the secretary of the municipal party committee.
This is an extraordinary appointment, which shows that among the civil officials, no one is willing to go to Hanyuan County, so they have to reluctantly send Wang Yuting, who was born in the military, over.
The two sides met, and Yun Tianjia asked, "Where did the female assassin in black go just now?"
Wang Yuting was fighting with the bandits at that time, and did not pay attention to the direction in which Lu Zhongyuan left.
The gray-robed monk withered Ye said: "That female benefactor seems to be heading north. ”
Although Yun Tianjia regretted that he did not leave Lu Zhongyuan and help Lu Xia find his lost sister, he thought that she was good at swordsmanship, and her status in the Spiritualist Sect was not low, and ordinary people were afraid that they would not be able to bully her, so they were not worried.
What's more, now that we already know that she is a member of the Spiritualist Sect, it will not be difficult to find her in the future, it is better than not knowing whether she is alive or dead, looking for people all over the continent without a clue, and trying their luck.
This is undoubtedly good news for Lucia.
It's a pity that Lu Zhongyuan is a good girl, but she helps to abuse and work hard for the Spiritualist Sect.
A beautiful woman, what a thief!
Yun Tianjia secretly planned in his heart, how to find an opportunity in the future to let Lu Zhongyuan break away from the Soul Conjuring Sect.
The shirtless man Hong Liang came over and asked Wang Yuting how to deal with the captives.
Wang Yuting said: "Have you recruited them all?"
Hong Liang replied: "All the questions that should be asked, and those who should be recruited have also been recruited, those prisoners are all at the bottom of the cult, and they don't know much in the first place, no matter how much they torture, it will be useless." “
"What did you say?"
"They said that half of the people who ambushed us were the subordinates of the Five Evil Monks and Nine Jies, and half were the disciples of the Three Evil Sect Death Gates, and that the female assassin in black was a disciple of Wu Yunqing, the master of the Sanji Gate, and was nicknamed Shadow. ”
"Isn't that all we know?"
Hong Liang was ashamed and said: "I really can't ask." Why don't you put them in custody first, and then try them again?"
Wang Yuting didn't answer, and instead asked Yun Tianjia and said, "Brother Yun, what do you think these people should do?"
Yun Tianjia didn't want to interfere with Wang Yuting, but he had no choice but to give in again and again, so he had to say: "These people besiege the officials of the imperial court, slaughter innocent people, do bad things, and are guilty of crimes, and they should be sentenced to death if they are in accordance with the law and reason." Thinking that they were all low-level sect members, or they were suspected of being coerced by a cult, the younger brother couldn't bear to let them fall to the ground, and hoped that Lord Wang would forgive them for their capital crimes in order to show benevolence. ”
Wang Yuting didn't expect that Yun Tianjia, as the chief general who led the troops, would have such a woman's kindness, and felt a pity, but he deliberately catered to Yun Tianjia, and naturally would not object to Yun Tianjia's proposal, and said: "Brother Yun opened Chrysostom, how can my brother not obey?" However, these people can be exempted from capital crimes, and living crimes cannot be escaped, so they must be punished a little to correct their hearts, otherwise they will harm people when they go out." Hong Liang, you can shatter their martial spirits and let them go. ”
For soul masters, once the martial soul is broken, it is not even as good as an ordinary person, and after that, let alone doing evil, it is thankful that it can live, so this is the most severe punishment besides death.
Hong Liang took the order and left, and then there was a scream, which was unbearable.
Gong Luoluo said: "Now that the matter has been clarified, and the bandits have also repelled, should we go back to the Shiwang Temple, so as not to worry Luo Erniang and them." ”
Yun Tianjia nodded, and said to Wang Yuting: "Lord Wang, we still have some companions camped in the Shiwang Temple at the entrance of the town, and we have been confronting the bandits for a few days and nights, and we are already very tired, so it is better to go there first to eat something and rest and recuperate." According to Monk Jiujie, Hanyuan County is being attacked by the Spiritualist Sect with all its might, and the situation is probably very bad. We have to find a way to get reinforcements as soon as possible. ”
Wang Yuting readily agreed.
In the stone house where they were holding on to help, there were still seven people who were seriously injured and did not die, plus Wang Yuting's master Xu Yingyuan, his son Wang Zhiwen, and his concubine Zhu, a total of ten wounded. The withered leaf Zen master took advantage of the gap and gave a simple bandage and treatment. Wang Yuting's nephew was too seriously injured and had no skills to return to heaven and died.
Wang Yuting and his entourage originally had a total of 56 people, but now in addition to the 10 seriously injured, including Wang Yuting himself, only eight people have survived.
