Many officials were silent, but only some officials were very active, especially Xie Linfu's protégé, who insisted on giving color to the land.

Some of the officials looked at each other.

Since the southern states went to war, because of the different strategies of the first assistant Zhao Yishan and the second assistant Xie Lin Fu, the differences between the two sides have become more and more obvious.

But no matter what, in the court, both sides are up to the point.

Now, has the contradiction between the first and second assistants been white-hot?

It seems that the water in the battle of southern Xinjiang is far deeper than imagined.

Song Yunjing silently observed the officials, at first, it was just Xie Linfu's protégé who fought alone, but slowly, officials from other forces began to support Xie Linfu and wanted to severely punish him.

Song Yunjing recalled the backgrounds of those officials, and more than half of them had the shadow of the Xue family in the north and south.

The Xue family, in order to keep the meat in the south, began to do it.

As time went on, the fighting between the two sides became more and more intense.

In the early morning, the parties finally barely agreed.

Today will be washed with a righteous spirit, in order to set an example, and to return the color, but not too heavy.

The temporary meeting in the cabinet hall ended, and the officials dragged their tired bodies and scattered.

Soon after Zhao Yishan returned to Zhao's mansion, many officials sent condolences.

In the end, only a few officials entered the palace, sat in the main hall, and talked a lot.

"Xie Linfu, hehe. The Xue family in the north and south did not dare to provoke the river guards in the north, but they reached into the south early, thinking that the southern countries could rub at will, so they colluded up and down and ate a full meal. Now in the war with the Dongding Kingdom, they found that the armament was lax, the army was rotten, and only six of the twelve Kaijiang ships could be opened, which was still the result of patching up the seams. The most ridiculous thing is that they don't even have shipwrights to repair ships, so they can only be seconded from other armies......"

"More than that......"

"Well, let's talk about the treacherous things first. Now that the king of Chu is dead, what should we do? ”

"Li Qing is idle in the tricky land, maybe there is a chance to turn around, he is a sorcerer, and he has rich experience in the tricky land, or he can bring out the news."

He ...... It's a matter of being in trouble all day long, and I always feel that the death of the king of Chu ......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Song Yunjing coughed violently.

"Hmm...... I feel that it is not appropriate to continue to investigate the treacherous matter, and the current problem is how to weaken the Heavenly Mandate Sect. Such a great opportunity to not be missed. ”

"Once the treacherous matter is over, the Heavenly Mandate Sect will inevitably send elders to the Divine Capital to return to the Bagua Stargazing Tower."

Everyone looked at Zhao Yishan, who had not spoken.

Zhao Yishan said indifferently: "King Chu Xu, in order to avoid accidents, when the sky is forbidden, when the matter is over, it is allowed to fly into the air." ”

The crowd's eyes widened, they held their breath and continued to listen.

Zhao Yishan said again: "The Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven is not strict, causing the King of Chu to fall into a treacherous land, the gods are in trouble, and the Qi country is disgraced, and his disciples should be banned from the god capital and expelled for three years." In addition, the old man personally sent people to guard the Quartet to prevent the Heavenly Mandate Sect from entering Beijing. ”

The officials looked at each other, forbidding the heavens, guarding the Quartet, and making a big fuss.

Strange town, at the foot of the mountain.

The dirty beggar and Xu Changren were in front, and many townspeople with night guard elimination weapons were behind, standing in a slightly messy line in front of the gate.

The door was closed, and the guards behind the door were holding spears and looking panicked.

The dirty beggar was gone, his face was expressionless, and he said, "Friends, you are just a hard worker, just like us, working for the nobles. I ask you, is it worth the money that the nobles give you? ”

The crowd behind the door was silent.

The captain of the gate said: "Everyone, today the ginseng fruit tree is sacrificed, and the masters are gathered, once you climb the mountain, you will definitely die." ”

"All these years, those who have not climbed the mountain with us, are they dead or alive?" The dirty beggar asked rhetorically.

The guards behind the door were silent.

"Open the door, don't force us to do it. We should have stood together, not poked each other in the heart. The dirty beggar said.

"The mayor has an order not to open the door. rashly went up the mountain, conspired against the crime, and killed on the spot. ”

"Then wait until the ginseng fruit tree, in front of everyone, to convict us of rebellion and kill us." Dirty beggar said.

Xu Changren looked up at the sky and said, "The sacrifice is about to begin." ”

The dirty beggar nodded and said, "Break the door, resist, kill!" ”

The dirty beggar retreated, and all the townspeople who had entered the product shot one after another, and the true qi, mana, thunder and fire, and talisman flew together, shattering the gate and splashing wood chips.

There were no more than eight men guarding the door, armed with spears, and they retreated.

The dirty beggar turned his head to look at the hundreds of townspeople with weapons in hand, and shouted, "Go up the mountain!" ”

"Up the hill!"

Everyone shouted in unison, raised their spears, drew their bows and arrows, pointed to the top of the mountain, and strode forward.

The eight gatekeepers looked at each other, turned and trotted, and headed for the ginseng fruit tree.

"They're scared!"

"They're scared!"

The crowd shouted and cursed.

The group continued to climb the mountain, and when they were close to the mountainside, a group of soldiers dressed in stubborn and heavily armed soldiers came to the right side.

The two sides stopped and looked at each other.

Some of the night guards looked at the dirty beggar and the townspeople behind Xu Changren in amazement, these people were in tatters, many of them didn't even have shoes, and their whole bodies were seriously deceitful, if they appeared in Daqi, they would be regarded as monsters.

These people all have weapons in their hands that the night guards have eliminated.

There was not the slightest look of surprise on the faces of some of the night guards, but sympathy.

The townsfolk with weapons in their arms changed their faces slightly, swallowing their saliva and moving their hands on the shafts of their spears, staring at the man riding the bronze machine-mounted horse.

There are only a few hundred people on one side, thousands on one side, one side is disheveled, and one side has bright armor.

"Sacrificial ginseng fruit trees?" Li Qingxian asked.

"Yes." Dirty beggar said.

"Hmm."

Li Qingxian nodded, turned right into the main road, and took all the soldiers and horses of the night guard and the tomb general, and climbed upwards to the ginseng fruit tree.

The ragged townsfolk looked at each other, and the dirty beggar said, "Go up the mountain!" ”

"Up the hill!" The townsfolk shouted in unison.

The townsfolk followed the night guard and slowly ascended the mountain.

Xu Changren turned his head to look, and the houses under the mountain were like boxes, and some townspeople were standing everywhere, looking here.

Some young men grabbed their farming tools and trotted over.

More and more townspeople began to go up the mountain.

Before that, they had never stepped through the gate that separated the upper and lower mountains.

Li Qing sat on the bronze horse and said nothing.

The night guards around him whispered.

"Dirty beggars are really going to be reversed."

"It's been so long, there shouldn't be anyone in the town who doesn't know about it."

"What if you know? There are so many high-grade and medium-grade products in the mayor's hands, just this little person, a few medium-grade people, what use can it be? Sent to death? ”

"It's like living happily if you don't go up the mountain."

"But what's the use of them doing this?"

"But what is the use of them doing nothing?"

"I can live."

"Do you really think they'll survive? How did the streamers that flew to the ginseng fruit trees, the ginseng fruits, come from? You gave it? ”

The night guards fell silent.

The sun rises, and the night guard army arrives at the main square in front of the ginseng fruit tree.

The nobles who sat in the various major forces stood up one after another, looked at the night guard, and then looked at the tattered army of townspeople behind the night guard with a strange gaze.
