10 According to the word
Kong Jing looked at Na Shangshu coldly and said, "It seems that Lord Longli is very dissatisfied with Ben Jiang, and he actually wants to listen to this demon's words." β
As for General Kongjing's proposal to recommend himself as the lord of the city, I am afraid that it is impossible, this needs to be reported to the royal city, and it is necessary to investigate the murder of the lord in detail, otherwise how to explain to the royal city, how to explain to the wronged lord, and how to explain to the people of Chiyan City."
"Really?" Kong Jing's expression turned cold, and the sword in his hand tightened, "Ben Jiang originally wanted to wait for me to ascend the throne, and for the sake of your loyalty, I would like to appoint you as a city assistant, but you are so immutable, you don't know right from wrong, you don't know how to retreat, so how can Ben use you?" β
This sentence contains the meaning of wooing, as long as Long Li Shangshu nods in approval, he can become the assistant of a city, this is a position that all officials want to get, with such an opportunity, how can he refuse.
However, Long Li said angrily: "Are you tempting me from a position of power? If the old minister was the kind of person who coveted power, he would not be in this position today, General Kong Jing wants to understand your identity, you are just a general now, and you have no qualifications to canonize the official position at will. β
Kong Jing's face suddenly sank, and after a long time, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly stabbed his long sword towards Long Li's abdomen.
I saw a cold light flashing, and a 'snort' sound, the sword entered the abdomen for a few moments, and his face turned pale, holding the blade of the sword with both hands, and he said two words "you, you" in his mouth, and then fell to the ground.
The hall was covered in blood, like a red-dyed soldering iron, and the people standing here at this moment were all on the coals of fire, waiting for their scorched fate.
Chao Ya was not annoyed when he saw Kong Jing so fierce, and said angrily: "Okay, good, good Kong Jing, dare to attack the people in the court now, you are so brutal, do you think you can make the ministers obey?" You're just a shameful stealer, and the young master will come back to take it all back. β
Kong Jing ignored Chao Ya, and only shouted outside the hall: "Someone! β
Dozens of soldiers ran in with knives and surrounded all the officials. The entire main hall seemed to be in crisis, and the officials were all frightened, and they didn't know what to do? Some of the timid officials had already fainted in fright.
"Take down this demon who is pretending to be the city lord, and if anyone else present dares to defend this demon and fight against Ben Jiang, arrest him." As soon as Kong Jing gave the order, the two soldiers stepped forward and dragged Chao Ya down, but Chao Ya still cursed non-stop, so that the main hall was full of resentment, and when Chao Ya's curse gradually faded away, the entire city hall was as silent as death.
"Who else is there to object? If there is still anyone who opposes it, just stand up! β
No one spoke, everyone lowered their heads, and on the cold ground, the head of the eunuch was still rolling down, and it was still moistened with the fierce blood, in the face of all this, how could they dare to say a word, constantly, some officials began to kneel down and bow to Kongjing, and the rest of the officials also knelt down, and the whole main hall shouted: "Congratulations to the Lord of Kongjing on his new throne!" β
Kong Jing looked at these officials kneeling in front of him, his heart was indescribably ecstatic and satisfied, he looked down at these people, as if the day he had been waiting for had finally come, so that he couldn't believe it. But there was a trace of sadness in his complacent eyes, and the loneliness seemed to climb up from the bottom of his fanatical heart and occupy his heart.
There was also such silence outside the city hall, as if the entire Chiyan City had fallen asleep, as if he was in a dead city, and he couldn't see laughter or blessings, only a cold face, a cold heart, and a cold wind.
.......................
In the Yuehua Pavilion, Kong Jing sat in front of the desk where Du Ju had sit, picked up the few scrolls, and looked at them unintentionally, he felt the weight of this chair, and felt the majesty of becoming the city lord, but for some reason, even if he sat on it, Kong Jing's heart was a little empty, he always felt a little powerless, a little uneasy, this uneasiness came from the so-called young master outside the city, the young monarch of the royal city, if as long as they were there, it would be difficult for him to sit firmly even if he sat in this position.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a report from the guards outside the cabinet: "Lord, the peasant guards have something to report." Kong Jing was not used to this lord's title, so much so that he instinctively thought that he was bowing to the capital, and his heart trembled for a moment, and then he realized that it was himself who he was calling.
He said indifferently: "Let him come in!" β
The door creaked open, and the blinding light from outside shone in, brightening up the gloomy room. Kong Jing looked at Nongsu, looked at his cold face, and said, "I don't know how it feels like for the general to be the city lord?" β
Kong Jing looked at Nongsu's empty eyes that seemed to have no aura, and said lightly: "How do you want me to feel?" Kong Jing leaned on the chair where Du Ju had sit, and a sense of annoyance suddenly arose in his heart, "His position, do you think I am rare?" I just wanted to snatch it, just to see his surprised and hateful expression after he knew that I had snatched the position of city lord, but unfortunately I can't see it now. β
"I only hope that the Lord can kill him and relieve the trouble, otherwise it will inevitably become a hidden worry." Nongsuke's ice-like face didn't have the slightest expression, "And that Josuke-sama, always keeping his life will inevitably bring hidden dangers to you, Lord." β
Kong Jing frowned tightly and said, "You must meddle in these matters, you just need to do what I arrange for you." He paused, "Why did you come to me?" β
"The one named Wuluan is back."
"Oh? Is it? I thought he would die at the hands of those people, but I didn't expect him to come back alive. Kong Jing felt a little incredible, but thinking that since he could come back alive, the matter must have been handled successfully, "Then bring him in!" β
"Yes!" Nongsu answered, and then said to the outside of the pavilion, "Let him in." β
The door was pushed open again, Wuluan lowered his head, walked over in small steps, and then knelt down in front of Kongjing, and said, "The villain Wuluan has seen General Kongjing!" β
As soon as Kong Jing heard this title, his face showed displeasure. Nongsu scolded at this rude man: "What general, now that the general in front of you has become the lord of a city, are you not convinced by such a title?" β
Wuluan had just rushed back to the city court, and he didn't know about the coup d'Γ©tat that happened at this time, and he was simple-minded, how could he have thought that Kong Jing, who was a general a day or two ago, would now inexplicably become the city lord.
"City Lord? How is this possible? How can a general become a city lord, so what about the city lord? Wuluan innocently asked a series of questions in his heart, but he didn't expect that this series of questions had angered the newly ascended Kongjing.
How to keep Kong Jing from being angry with such a frank question, he snorted coldly and said, "It seems that you miss the previous city lord very much, what's the matter?" Do you think I'm not fit to be the lord of the city? Or do you think I'm usurping the city? β
Wuluan felt the invisible and powerful sense of oppression, and also felt the other party's gradually expanding anger, Wuluan buried his head lower, and said: "No, in my heart, only you are the most suitable to be the lord of a city, the villain has been waiting for this day for a long time, but I didn't expect to wait for it today, the villain couldn't believe what he heard for a while, so he lost his temper, but please forgive me." β
Looking at this humble man who had said to himself that he admired him as a god, he couldn't help but feel satisfied, and his mood gradually calmed down, and said, "Okay, get up, how is the task entrusted to you?" Are you satisfied with the power I have given you? β
Wuluan stood up tremblingly and nodded, "Thank you for the divine power given to me by the Lord, with this power, I can take revenge, otherwise I am afraid that I would have gone to hell by now." β
Kong Jing sneered and asked, "How about that batch of troops?" I drove out all the demons in the mountains and told them that there was great food to hunt in the West, but they were obedient and did. β
"Everything is according to the Lord, I put the demon poison into the army meal, those soldiers all fell within two hours after eating, and then I stabbed the commander named Luyou and the young monarch with the help of the power given to me by the Lord, these two people have been injured, the army began to be chaotic, and it was defeated by the demon in a few clicks, and now only a few remnants of the soldiers are left to escape, although the villain is useless, and he has not been able to kill the young monarch and the person pretending to be the young master according to the Lord's orders, but they are afraid that they will not live long." Wuluan told the truth, and there was a bit of regret in his words.
"Really? Didn't they kill you like this? But let you come back? Kong Jing's eyes were full of doubt and persecution.
When Wuluan met this sharp gaze, his heart trembled a little, and he swallowed: "I... I ran fast... So..."Wuluan's eyes became more indifferent and frightened, he fell to his knees with a snort, and said, "Please forgive me, I'm just afraid of death, and I won't dare to do it again." β
"Are you sure they've been badly damaged, but Lu Yu and Qing Zhan are already injured?" Kong Jing asked again, still refusing to believe what Wuluan said.
"It's true, the Lord doesn't believe it, send troops to investigate, and you will know that a few villains dare to lie to the Lord." Wuluan's face turned pale, obviously frightened.
Kong Jing looked at Wuluan carefully for a long time, and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he said, "It seems that I didn't choose the wrong person to do this for you?" You go out, there may be a place for you to be used in the future, and I will leave you to do things for me if you are not working hard for your own master. β
Wuluan has been holding back one thing in his heart and wants to ask for proof, but he is afraid of the majesty of Kongjing, so he doesn't dare to ask rashly for a while. Seeing his hesitant expression, Kong Jing was a little impatient and asked, "Why don't you go out yet?" β
"Villain, I... I want to ask one thing? Wuluan finally mustered up the courage to ask.
