Jing Xinghuai stood on top of the ferry, looking at the bustling and busy Caoyun in the distance.

Everyone was busy like insects and ants, and as soon as some ships were moored, countless coolies stepped forward to carry them, and the supply of the entire imperial capital depended on these cargo ships.

But there was a sigh in his heart.

After hundreds of years of expansion, this fortune has become more and more prosperous, but it has become more and more difficult for the imperial court to collect taxes. The court and the court, wantonly colluding, constantly digging into the empty space, the annual loss of silver taels by the imperial court, I am afraid that there are millions of dollars.

In the past, in order to pacify the Hu people in the north, the treasury was insufficient, so it had no choice but to raise taxes from the local government and loot the people at the bottom.

But in essence, whether it is the Cao Yun here or the official salt in the south, it has been interfered by countless silverfish.

These should have been the bulk of tax revenues, but now they collect only millions of taels of silver every year.

For a dynasty, this amount of money is pitiful.

He pressed the dragon-patterned sword on his waist tightly, which was a gift from the emperor so that he could act cheaply in the local area. Once something is found, it has the right to cut it first and then play it.

It's just that......

"Your Excellency, the ship is coming."

"I'll escort you up."

The one-armed young man looked at a large ship coming in the distance and whispered.

Jing Xinghuai nodded, and after the plank was lowered, he stepped into the boat. The soldiers of the Pacification Division also followed closely and got on the boat, and were assigned to camp in various places.

On top of the big boat, there stood two middle-aged Taoists who were almost the same height and appearance, their faces were stiff, and they were carrying swords, and only when they saw Jing Xinghuai, they nodded slightly.

"These two are the uncles below, Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai."

The one-armed youth and Jing Xinghuai introduced.

"Thank you two for coming thousands of miles to protect Jing."

Jing Xinghuai arched his hand, he already knew the identity of these two people before.

They are from the same class as the one-armed young man Xu Chengqing, but their strength has reached the first level of martial arts, and they are all first-class good players throughout the world.

Especially since the two are twins, they are born with a common heart, and once they join forces, they can resist three or four masters of the same level, which is very powerful.

Almost as long as the martial saint does not come out, he can keep Jing Xinghuai and thoughtful.

After everyone had boarded the boat, the big ship took anchor and slowly followed the Xunshui towards the south.

It was now approaching dusk, and the distant sunset was about to set on the other side of the mountain, and the afterglow was blurring through the clouds, as if someone had smeared it with bright paint.

Jing Xinghuai's heart was inexplicably reminded of the Huangao Village he had passed before he was ready to take the exam.

"The sunset enters the east fence, and the refreshing air is high in front of the mountain......"

He once wrote a poem, but he got a dream from the god of the well.

That night, Ikami told him many strange things, saying that in all directions of heaven and earth, there were countless forms of government, and there were vast things to see, but his worldview was shaken, as if he had entered an unprecedented realm.

When he woke up from his dream, he remembered everything he had seen and heard that day.

During the examination, he took the excerpts of what he saw that day, combined them with the words of the saints, and wrote a treatise. The writing is bold, and it can even be said to be shocking.

But it just so happened that the examiner that time was Pei Tao, the leader of the literary world, who was famous all over the world, not only the champion twenty years ago, but also determined to reform, but perhaps because the edge was too exposed, he was impeached too much and even the first emperor did not dare to use him.

It was not until the current emperor ascended to the throne that he gradually recovered.

Pei Tao saw this article, although the literature and science are slightly inferior, but the idea is very high, far stronger than many people who carve scriptures and righteousness.

He boldly hired Jing Xinghuai.

Then he entered the Beijing entrance examination, Jing Xinghuai's examination results were not outstanding, and it can even be said that he was at the bottom of the 300 people hired. But at the time of the palace test, his words won the emperor's heart, and he was pointed out as a flower and ranked first.

It can be said that Jing Xinghuai was able to have today's situation, and the preaching of the well god that night played a vital role.

It's just that a few days ago, he seemed to meet the well god again on the bashui.

But Jing Shen disliked him and waited for the lives of passers-by, directly cut off Xu Chengqing's arm, and left in disappointment.

Although the well god looks like a child, since he is a god, of course he can't be judged by his appearance. What's more, the other party has the grace of preaching to himself, and he can be regarded as half of his master.

Now he is disgusted by him, which makes Jing Xinghuai quite anxious in his heart.

He only thinks about it now, waiting for himself to make some achievements in the world according to the teachings of the well god back then, and then go to Huangao Village to confess.

At that time, even if he gives up his official body, everything will be worth it.

His mind was dark, and he thought about many things in a moment.

"Master, since you have entered the Xunshui, you should worship the gods here, so as to seek stability."

The captain stepped forward and shouted in the distance.

Jing Xinghuai heard this, but he smiled dumbly, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has always only worshiped heaven and earth with the imperial court, and the gods in this place may not be as high as him in terms of grade.

Moreover, maybe there are gods in this world, but if the gods can really manifest at will, why is the heaven and earth like this?

He was about to tell the captain to step back, but suddenly he saw the portrait clearly.

It was a boy with an ordinary face, a few whiskers on his lips, and a playful smile.

This god is not the god of the well, but who is it?

At this moment, his heart shook, but he suddenly felt that this was the will of heaven in the dark.

"Who is this deity?"

He turned to look at the boat boss and asked.

"Lord Qiyu, this is Bashui Hebo, and he is also the god of Caoyun, whose name is: Generalissimo of the General Department of Caoyun in charge of the world."

The captain of the ship even bowed his hand cautiously when he mentioned the name of the god.

Nowadays, who eats by luck, who does not know the name of this god.

Even the rampant water bandits [for the Heavenly Alliance] who were ravaging the three states of Qing, Heng, and Yun were destroyed by it, and if they only relied on the imperial court sailors, they didn't know when it would end.

According to rumors, the sailors of the imperial court have not yet come out of Qingzhou, and they are about to become the laughing stock of the world.

"Caoyun...... Is this the god who oversees the luck? ”

"Yes, we all joked in private that this god is newly appointed, and I have never heard of this god's name half a month ago."

The captain replied with ease.

And Jing Xinghuai was excited in his heart, perhaps it was the great god who saw that he was struggling, so he came to his aid.

After making up his mind, he stretched out his hand and twisted a stick of incense, and bowed respectfully in front of the statue a few times.

I just want to think that this time it will go well.

"Do you want to worship together?"

After the boat boss saw that Jing Xing was pregnant with incense, he asked the others again.

Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai looked cold and hard, and ignored them.

However, Xu Chengqing seemed to recognize this god as the boy who cut off one of his arms on the water last time, and reluctantly followed a stick of incense.

"Oh, I said that I couldn't sleep well, so someone was talking about me in the back."

Just as everyone was finished worshipping and the captain of the boat was about to put away the portrait, a somewhat lazy and childish voice came from behind them.

Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai quickly held down the sword, vigilant, but looked at a boy standing on the deck not far away, as if they had seen a ghost.

The man was so close to them that they were less than three feet tall, and they didn't notice it.

"Greatly...... Generalissimo? The villain met with the generalissimo of the General Department of Caoyun, who supervised the world. ”

The boat boss looked at the boy in front of him, looked at the portrait again, and fell to his knees with a thud.

This is a living god, this is an ancestral tomb that is bombed, and it is rare to see such an opportunity.

"No need to be polite, on this Cao River, don't raise these feudal dross."

Qiu Ping waved his hand, but the boat boss seemed to be supported by a force, and stood up straight.

The captain of the ship was so excited that he couldn't help himself, scratching his ears and cheeks, but he didn't know what to do.

It's like a fanatical star chaser, but he doesn't know that there is such a thing as a signature in this world, otherwise he would have to find Qiu Ping to sign his name left and right.

"Jing Xinghuai, meet the gods."

Jing Xinghuai bowed to the end, and his posture was very low.

"You don't have to be polite, I'm here to find you."

When Qiu Ping saw Jing Xinghuai, the smile on his face was put away.

Because he had previously taken a boat on Bashui as an ordinary person, Jing Xinghuai and others got on his boat in order to escape the pursuit.

But these people are only concerned about their own lives, and they are blind to themselves.

Because he is a god, he is naturally not afraid of hunting and killing. But at that time, if it was just an ordinary person, he would have been implicated by them and died on the spot.

Qiu Ping can understand the thoughts of these big people, they usually weigh the pros and cons, maybe they will care about the well-being of the people in the world, but when it comes to a specific person, it doesn't matter.

How many people died is just a number. As long as they can achieve their great causes, everything can be sacrificed.

But Qiu Ping couldn't get used to this.

He climbed up from the bottom of the little loach, why can these big people become a snowflake that crushes them with a random thought?

The little loach is a layman, he has no trade-offs, and he has no vision.

I only know that he wants to save this person, and he wants to save that person, and it is best for everyone to be harmonious and beautiful, and everyone is safe.

"Please show me the gods."

Jing Xinghuai's waist was slightly bent, and he always remained respectful.

"I'm responsible for keeping you safe on this trip, and I'm responsible for killing people."

"You will kill all those who spoil their luck and do misdeeds."

Qiu Ping looked at Jing Xinghuai and said almost word by word.

Although his voice was soft, he was the honor of immortals after all, and when he fell into the ears of everyone, he was undoubtedly murderous.

The little loach thinks that he has no wisdom, and he can't figure out those messy grievances and entanglements.

But he knows that as long as all these bad things are killed, then the world will be clear.

Killing them frightened, killing them in fear all day long, and if they do bad things in the future, they will know to weigh a few words first.

"The words of the god are exactly what Jing thinks."

"This three-foot Heavenly Son Sword is here to kill people."

Jing Xinghuai pulled out the sword in his hand slightly, and the setting sun shone on it, and the red light shone on it, as if it was stained with blood.

Qiu Ping looked at Jing Xinghuai, and his original dissatisfaction with this scholar dissipated a little.

It seems that although this thing is powerless, it is not pedantic.

Now that this luck has rotted to the roots, and the dilemma is slowly being solved, I don't know how long it will be delayed.

"You two old boys, don't be so nervous, this is my jurisdiction, can I still let people do anything here?"

Qiu Ping turned his head and looked at the Yu brothers.

Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai didn't know what to do, their strength and cultivation were only respected by others wherever they were placed. Now I suddenly encountered a god with unfathomable strength, but I was a little blind.

"It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived."

"This is not completely out of the scope of the imperial capital, so I can't wait to come, this is completely not in the eyes of Qiu someone."

Qiu Ping put his hand back, but suddenly, in the dense forests on both sides of the river, dozens of black figures rushed out.

As soon as they flicked their sleeves, hooks flew out of their sleeves, grabbing the side of the ship from all sides. With a sudden repression, his body swayed and came towards the position of the big ship.

These people are so skilled, and none of them are below the second grade.

There are three in Class A and twenty-six in Class B.

It seems that the forces behind this Cao Yun are really exaggerated, and so many masters have been freed up in such a short period of time.

If these people are sent to the army, they can serve as captains at worst.

Qiu Ping put his hands behind his back, although he said that he wanted to protect Jing Xinghuai, but he didn't mean to make a move.

The two Yu brothers glanced at each other, and in an instant, their figures flashed, and the long sword in their hands stabbed in the void again and again, cutting off all the ropes that were pulling the side of the ship.

Then the steps under his feet were like immortals, and the figures of the two almost coincided in one place, but from a specific angle, they seemed to be one person.

And all of a sudden, they had both hands piercing, like a man of God with two heads and four arms.

The two of them pressed against each other's backs, and there were no flaws in their bodies, and they rushed directly into the place where the crowd was most, and every time the long sword in their hands stabbed out, a man in black was bleeding out and died.

And Xu Chengqing and a group of personal soldiers also hula all gathered around Jing Xinghuai, all of them opened their bows and crossbows, and raised their shields, like a huge iron hedgehog.

Since they had done such a risky thing, they had been prepared for it.

Qiu Ping sighed on the side, I have to say that although the high-level combat power of the human dynasty has been pulled a little, these grassroots forces have their own uniqueness.

Perhaps because they often participated in battles, their battle formation was much more elite than the naval army commanded by Qiu Ping before.

In the blink of an eye, the fighting between the two sides reached a fever pitch.

Although this group of black-clothed men has one more first-class warrior than Jing Xinghuai's side, the Yu brothers' defense is not leaky, and their cooperation is abnormal, and they are even more powerful than the three of them.

And Jing Xinghuai was under the protection of the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, and although there were many people in black, they couldn't find the flaws in a short period of time.

Even because of the bow and crossbow of the antiquation division's own soldiers, several people were damaged.

Qiu Ping watched the excitement from the sidelines, feeling that the situation was under control, so he looked at the quality of this group.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sharp roar from the shore.
