Jeju capital city, governor yamen.

The night was dark, but there was a person who had not yet rested, and was looking at a huge picture on the wall in a daze.

This man dressed in the official uniform of Da Zheng Erpin is about forty years old, with an elegant demeanor, a resolute face, and a loyal and good general inside and out, this person is Zhang Huadi, the governor of Qizhou who swore to death, the champion of Zhengming for 20 years, after more than 20 years of ups and downs in the Huan Sea, and finally was promoted to the governor of Qizhou last year. However, after he took office, he found that the situation in Qizhou had already been eroded and collapsed, the governor of Qizhou who was born in Xiangma, the generals at all levels who ate empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers, the Shen family and a group of gentry who had no one in their eyes, civil officials from all walks of life with different thoughts, and thousands of officials who violated the yin and yang. If these are placed in a peaceful year, they are just a disease of ringworm and scabies, but in this troubled era, they are a disease that urges life!

The facts are really not as Zhang Huadi expected, when the Northwest Army entered the customs and entered Qizhou, Qizhou was simply powerless, in just over a month, almost the entire territory fell, there were few people willing to fight to the death, and it was almost the general trend to change to the new master, and now there is only one capital Jeju Mansion still struggling to support, but the city is only broken overnight.

At this moment, the old housekeeper who had followed Zhang Huadi for many years stood outside the door, knocked on the door, and waited until Zhang Huadi retracted his gaze and turned around, and said softly: "Master, Shen Xiu, the master of the Shen family, asks to see you." ”

Zhang Huadi waved his hand and said calmly: "Let him come in." ”

The old housekeeper answered, and was about to turn around and go out, when he heard his master ask, "There is no news from the Biaoying side tonight." ”

The old butler thought for a moment and replied, "Vice General Qian didn't come over. ”

Zhang Huadi nodded and motioned for the old housekeeper to leave.

After a while, the old housekeeper led Shen Xiu to the outside of the house, the old housekeeper did not enter the house, Shen Xiu walked into the house alone, then closed the door of the house, and arched his hand: "Shen Xiu has seen the governor." ”

Zhang Huadi also saluted: "I don't know if Master Shen is visiting late at night, what are you doing?"

Shen Xiu said calmly: "Shen Xiu is here to report important military information to the governor. ”

Zhang Huadi's eyes condensed slightly, and he asked concisely, "What military situation?"

Shen Xiu stroked his long beard unhurriedly, and slowly spoke: "Just now, Sun Zhihua just left my Shen Mansion. ”

Zhang Huadi's face changed slightly, and he said, "Sun Zhihua, the rebel general Sun Zhihua who has already lowered the Wei ban?"

Shen Xiu said with a smile: "It is Sun Dudu, he is now serving under Wei Ban, this time he is actually under the secret order of Wei Ban, and he has come to persuade us to surrender." ”

Zhang Huadi's face was uncertain under the candlelight, he was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Master Shen is a smart person, and this official simply picks out his words, Sun Zhihua's character is unbearable, disloyal and unjust, greedy for life and afraid of death, but I have to say that this person has always been careful in matters of interest and rarely suffers." As for Master Shen, he can't be said to be exquisite, and he is also a person who judges the situation and assesses the situation, so it is reasonable that Master Shen should wait and see one or two more, or simply serve the northwest, instead of informing the official of this news, so he also hopes that Master Shen will solve the doubts of the official. ”

Shen Xiu said calmly: "The Shen family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and since the Shenzong Dynasty, it has been favored by the country, and it should be loyal to the country and broken for the country. But you might as well tell your lord the truth, Shen Xiu is unwilling to let the Shen family's incense inheritance be cut off in his hands, if it is really as the adults wish, the Shen family is full of three hundred and eighteen people all accompany the adults and the northwest army to burn jade, more than ten generations of hard work is ruined, if the descendants of Shen Xiu are ten thousand deaths, what face do they have to see the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs?"

Shen Xiu took out a jade ruler from his sleeve, and said expressionlessly: "Shen Xiu informed the adults of this news, which can be regarded as the forbearance of my Shen family since the whole adult took office. ”

Zhang Hua nodded and said, "Understood." ”

Shen Xiu said: "Sun Zhihua has already gone to the standard camp of the governor, if there is no accident, at dawn, the army of the northwest marshal can enter the city." ”

Zhang Hua smiled and asked, "You are not afraid that the official will leave you now." ”

Shen Xiu said indifferently: "It depends on Lord Zhang's methods." Sun Zhihua thought that you were a powerless literati, but Shen knew that Master Zhang was deeply hidden. ”

Zhang Huadi stared at him and said softly: "Each other." ”

After a long time, Zhang Huadi retracted his gaze and asked: "You have already decided to serve Xiao Yu?" You must know that every time there is a change of dynasty, the old man will always die, so as to free up enough seats for the newcomer, your Shen family has been with me for hundreds of years, do you still want to have hundreds of years of scenery in the new dynasty?"

Shen Xiu said calmly: "What you said is nothing more than the annexation of Gaomen's land, so that the common people have no land to plant, and all of them have become tenants, and the gentry do not need to pay money and grain, so the court has no taxes to collect, so every time in the last years of the dynasty, the convenience of the people is in turmoil, and the court has no money to use, so the change of dynasty must clean all the gentry, and then there are millions of deaths, so that there is a new dynasty to open the Haiyan River clear, the world is peaceful." My Shen family has a family history, and I am not a person who does not know the times, so I am willing to scatter all the land and family wealth for peace. ”

Zhang Huadi sneered, "You Shen Xiu can see it clearly, and the rest of the Shen family can also understand it? It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!"|Zhang Huadi does not believe that the Shen family, who has been rich for hundreds of years, really has the courage to scatter all the family wealth, for the poor, death is the most terrible, but for those who have enjoyed wealth for a long time, poverty is something more terrible than death.

Regarding Zhang Huadi's words, Shen Xiu seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "So I have to borrow Lord Zhang's head for use, so that Shen Xiu can go to the new master to invite merit and ask for a hundred years of wealth!"

Before the voice fell, the room was already abruptly changed.

Shen Xiu's figure rose violently, and the jade ruler in his hand was dotted.

Zhang Huadi waved his big sleeves, and his figure floated backwards.

Zhang Huadi's face was gloomy, "Just about cultivation, I'm afraid Sun Zhihua is not your opponent." ”

At this moment, a secret guard in charge of personal protection of the Governor broke through the door with a long knife.

However, after he entered the door, he only ran forward a dozen steps, and his footsteps began to be dull and stagnant.

When he was still a few steps away from Shen Xiu, his footsteps stopped abruptly.

A jade ruler fell on his heavenly spirit.

Shen Xiu casually withdrew the jade ruler in his hand, and scarlet blood began to flow from the seven orifices of this dark guard.

Shen Xiu smiled, and with a wave of his sleeve, the corpse that had died of anger flew out upside down.

Zhang Hua glanced at the corpse outside the door, his eyes were not frightened, he stretched out his palm, and there was a trace of red aura rising in the palm of his hand.

Shen Xiu said with a smile: "Raising Haoran's qi, I don't know how much of Mr. Zhang's Haoran qi has Mr. Hengqu?"

Zhang Huadi said slowly: "When I was young, I apprenticed to Mr. Yu Hengqu, and Mr. Yu once asked me, what should I do if I become benevolent and take righteousness contrary to righteousness? If I say benevolence, I should open the gates of the city and ask for surrender, and if I say righteousness, I will swear to die and not surrender. ”

The red qi on Zhang Huadi's palm slowly condensed, turning into a red long sword, and flames rose and swam away on the sword.

Shen Xiu's pupils, who were holding the jade ruler, shrank slightly.

Haoran Sword?

Zhang Huadi can actually hold the Haoran Sword in his hand!?

Shen Xiu faintly felt that tonight's battle might be out of his control.

At this moment, Zhang Huadi no longer has the previous literati atmosphere, his face is solemn, and the whole person is like a military general who has been forced into a desperate situation on the battlefield, and he already has the intention of burning jade.

Before this, Zhang Huadi was as gaseous as jade, even if Shen Xiuyan said that he wanted to take his head and sacrifice it to the new master, he was not half angry, it can be said that the city was deep to the extreme. Now, Zhang Huadi no longer hides himself, which means that only one person between him and Shen Xiu can get out of this room.

His five fingers were slightly closed, and the Haoran sword in his palm was completely condensed, and his whole body was like red jade, and there was no sense of illusion.

A sword pointed out, sharp edge.

Countless small arrays of red aura turned into pocket swords with this sword, like a puff of smoke and rain, waving out.

Shen Xiu snorted lightly, and with a twist of the jade ruler in his hand, a cyan circle of light flew out, imprisoning all these small sword weapons.

Zhang Huadi was not surprised, but whispered to himself: "The Shen family's heirloom Yuan Xuan ruler." ”

At the same time, the Yuan Xuan ruler in Shen Xiu's hand was shining, and the mountain green land opened itself during the day.

The heavens here are the heavenly spirits.

Open!

A white rainbow shot from top to bottom towards the heavenly spirit above Zhang Huadi's head.
