Gonggong Han is mean and unkind, which is known to all the people in the Imperial Guard.

So when he heard about the cause of Li Yuanlin's death, Han Gonggong really didn't care too much.

After pondering for a moment, Gonggong Han asked, "Our Imperial Guard Division has died a school captain, how about the losses of the other three parties?" ”

Yang Cheng said in a deep voice: "When he was fighting, his subordinates seriously injured Si Tianyao of the Heavenly Sword Sect and Qin An under the Eighth Prince, and my subordinate Yin Wuxian even killed Chen Afu, the incense master of the Dajiang Gang under the Eighth Prince, with one sword.

Although Taishi Cai's subordinates lost few in the battle generals, they were all warriors from the military formation, so they did not have much counterpower when facing the formation laid by the Holy Father's Seal, and the losses were just as heavy. ”

Hearing Yang Cheng say this, Gonggong Han nodded with satisfaction.

For him, as long as the loss of the Imperial Commander is not the heaviest one, he is not considered a disgrace.

"It's a pity that we couldn't capture this demon of the Great Light Sect alive.

The courage of this Holy Father's Zhang Liang is really great to the sky!

The court couldn't spare its hand to exterminate him, and he dared to take the initiative to come up and provoke, it was simply lawless!

Yang Cheng, although you didn't bring back the demon of the Great Bright Sect this time, you did a good job, and those people under Li Yuanlin's command happened to be handed over to you.

We have to go and tell Your Majesty about this Great Light Sect, but this time it was someone from my Imperial Guardian Division who took action to solve the crisis.

Yang Cheng, you go down and rest first. ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

The Great Light Sect has already invaded the surroundings of Jingshi, but this Han Jin is still worried about retribution, rather than worrying about the pervasiveness of the Great Light Sect.

This Imperial Guard Division is in Han Jin's hands, even if he doesn't do anything, it's a big sin.

At this time, Suzaku Street University Scholar's Mansion was inside.

Jiang Xuerou was also reporting to Zhang Xiren about what happened in Yixian.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiren shook his head and sighed: "In troubled times, there will be demons, and the situation in this world is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Zhang Liang's conspiracy this time only succeeded halfway, otherwise the court would definitely have to fry the pot.

When I meet the Holy One tomorrow, I will suggest that the Holy One pay more attention to the Great Light Sect.

If you don't clean up these messy things inside the Great Zhou court, how can you talk about recovering the northern land and Kyushu? ”

At this time, Jiang Xuerou hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, I think that Yang Cheng, who seriously injured his senior brother last time, can actually find an opportunity to bring him to our side."

Although this person is Han Jin's old gelding's subordinate, he is not as ruthless and inhumane as other gelding's subordinates, and he can still be saved. ”

Zhang Xiren frowned and said, "The Yang Cheng who killed Brother Yunchang?" Absolutely not!

Xue Rou, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you are too inexperienced, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will be deceived by some people's words and performances.

It can be seen from the fact that he killed Brother Yunchang on trumped-up charges that this person is vicious and ruthless, and he is not easy to match.

Besides, he killed Brother Yunchang and offended the Manchu Qingliu, if I recruit him, how will other people in the court think of me?

So don't mention this kind of thing again, and don't have anything to do with Yang Cheng. ”

Jiang Xuerou opened her mouth and didn't continue to say anything more.

Yang Cheng has prejudices against Zhang Xiren, and Zhang Xiren also has prejudices against Yang Cheng.

It's just that who is right and who is wrong on both sides, Jiang Xuerou is also a little confused now.

Although the affairs of the Great Light Sect in the suburbs of Beijing shocked the court, it was thunder and rain.

The people of a county have all died in the hands of the Great Light Sect, although it sounds terrifying, but who will really care about the princes of the Manchu Dynasty?

Anyway, the formation was not arranged in the capital, so they couldn't see it, so naturally they wouldn't worry about it.

Of course, these things can't be worried about Yang Cheng now.

After returning to the Imperial Guard, he has been training with Yin Wuxian and Chen Da to accumulate more actual combat experience with martial artists.

Although Li Yuanlin's previous subordinates belonged to Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng did not force them.

Those who are willing to join him are welcome, and those who want to join others are not hindered.

Perhaps it was because Yang Cheng's performance in the formation before made some of Li Yuanlin's subordinates feel broken, so under their encouragement, nearly 100 people chose to join Yang Cheng's command.

A few days had passed, and the weather in the capital was much hotter than when Yang Cheng had just come to this world.

I heard that there was a severe drought in several counties in the western part of the Central Plains, and millions of displaced people appeared, and there were also subordinate gang rebels.

However, this time they were all rabble, and they were easily exterminated by the imperial court.

Yang Cheng also received a task this time, that is, to patrol the capital.

Originally, patrolling this kind of work was done by those of Yang Cheng's previous Capture Division.

But more than two months later, it will be the current emperor's fortieth birthday, and the palace is ready to hold a big event.

Therefore, it is necessary to start preparing in advance, and the capital has also begun to strictly investigate all kinds of lawbreakers and some unsightly guys.

The strength of the Imperial Guard Division is much stronger than that of the Thief Hunting Division, so Han Gonggong took over this job and let the people of the Imperial Guard Division line up to patrol outside every day.

Yang Cheng did not resist this task, and he could also carefully observe the defenses of the Great Zhou capital and the imperial city, lest when the emperor was assassinated, he would inexplicably fail the mission.

The Great Zhou is somewhat like a collection of several dynasties in the Overworld, all of which are like some, but none of them are like them.

Generally speaking, the level of science and technology and people's livelihood is similar to that of the Song and Ming dynasties in the main world, and commerce is still relatively prosperous, and the capital is also very lively.

But Yang Cheng always felt that there was a twilight in this prosperity, and there was something false and unreal.

At this time, Yang Cheng suddenly saw a familiar figure, and that figure also saw him.

"Miss Jiang, meet again."

Yang Cheng smiled and took the initiative to say hello.

Jiang Xuerou's face was a little complicated, but she also nodded and said, "Lord Yang, I mentioned you to Scholar Zhang after I went back last time.

But because of your killing of Huang Yunchang, Scholar Zhang has some prejudice against you. ”

Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Miss Jiang, don't be naïve.

The Tao is not the same, and even if Zhang Xiren wants me to join him, I will not be willing. ”

A bachelor with a moral and clean habit, although he has a good reputation, he has made enemies everywhere in the court, and joining him will also be subject to a lot of control, which is not in line with Yang Cheng's original intention.

Therefore, even if Jiang Xuerou recommended him at the beginning, Yang Chengdu would not consider joining Zhang Xiren's command.

But Jiang Xuerou seemed to be unusually persistent in this matter, she frowned and said, "I'm not naïve!"

Lord Yang, I could hear from your words last time that you still have compassion for the people of the world, and you are different from Han Jin's old gelding who did bad things!

Why, then, are you reluctant to turn away from darkness to light? ”

Yang Cheng made a booing gesture to Jiang Xuerou, pointed behind him and said, "Miss Jiang, keep a low profile, there are still people from the Imperial Guard Division behind me."

The word "abandon darkness and turn to light" is actually very strange, why is black bad and white good?

And what I told you last time, you should just be suspicious, not believed, right?

Well, today I'll take you to see what good things that Scholar Zhang, or Scholar Zhang's subordinates, have done. ”

Yang Cheng pointed to the spacious and prosperous street and asked, "Miss Jiang, can you see that there is something wrong with this street?" ”

Jiang Xuerou looked at it carefully for a long time, and said in surprise: "There is nothing wrong, because His Majesty's birthday is two months later, the streets of the capital are much cleaner than before." ”

Yang Cheng said: "Yes, clean up the garbage and dust and those homeless beggars, of course it will be much cleaner."

Miss Jiang, follow me to see and you will understand. ”

Saying that, Yang Cheng walked straight towards the nearest south city gate, but he didn't go to the city gate, but walked a little more to the middle of the city wall, and a longitudinal Yue took Jiang Xuerou to the city wall, pointed to the bottom of the city wall and said: "There is only a wall between here and the capital, but it is a hellish and heavenly difference." ”

Jiang Xuerou looked at the scene below the city wall, with a look of horror and disbelief.

Under the walls of the capital next to it, there are countless homeless people.

Some of them simply built simple huts with branches and thatch against the city wall, while others simply took a straw mat and covered their bodies.

All of them looked like they were yellow and thin, some of them were already swollen from hunger, and some of them had thin limbs, but their stomachs were extremely large, like starving ghosts in the six reincarnations.

This is eaten Guanyin soil and not digested, waiting there to die.

Some of them had even starved to death, and the rancid smell was emanating from them, attracting countless rats and flies.

Yang Cheng said in a sneering tone: "A few days ago, it was the scholar Zhang who wrote to the emperor, advocating cleaning up the environment of the capital.

Because of His Majesty's birthday, the Golden Horde, the Northern Jurchens, and some small border countries will come to congratulate him on his birthday, so I must keep the capital of my Great Zhou tidy and tidy to show the strongest side.

My Great Zhou is so strong and prosperous, how can there be homeless beggars?

Therefore, the homeless people who used to be able to beg and eat in the capital can only stay outside the city walls and wait to starve to death.

The old men were soft-hearted and couldn't see the poor, so they threw them all out, and they were far away from seeing and not being upset.

These are all caused by the words of that scholar Zhang. ”

Jiang Xuerou muttered, "That's not what Master Zhang meant!" He also deliberately said, clean up the capital but don't disturb the people!

Good-looking romance

These must have been done by the officials below to hide from him! ”

Yang Cheng said: "Look, the things that offend people are all done by the people below, and that Lord Zhang is still a saint in the eyes of the common people and a loyal minister in the eyes of His Majesty."

When these people were afraid of starvation, they were still thinking that Master Zhang could give them a fair and punish those corrupt officials for them in exchange for justice.

But they may never have imagined that it was that Master Zhang who caused all this. ”

At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly saw a group of people and horses in the distance coming straight to the city gate.

Even on a hot day, these people still wore leather jackets, some of which were lined with iron armor, and hung longbows and scimitars from their waists, with a fierce atmosphere.

In addition to these people, there are also several high-headed carts drawn by big horses, and there are several red-clothed monks sitting in them, and their bodies have mysterious breaths.

Jiang Xuerou looked at those people, and her expression changed slightly: "The people of the Golden Horde have entered the city." ”
