"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves continued to sound on a certain folk road in Pingxian County, and more than a dozen warriors in strong suits lowered their bodies on horseback and galloped forward.

Each warrior wore a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of extremely sharp eyes.

In his eyes, there was an inexplicable killing intent, crazy and cold.

Like the long knives pinned to their waists, the cold light was exposed.

Everywhere the cold light passed, bursts of dust continued to rise, flying sand and stones, and the rich killing intent gradually disappeared into it. The speed of the warriors was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to come to the slope of a village outside a village only twenty or thirty miles away from the county seat of Pingxian.

There are more than 200 apparently newly erected mounds on the hillside, and the wooden monuments on them are like guardian saints, silently watching and guarding the village below.

Here, you can look down on the whole village below.

It's lunchtime, and smoke is rising from the scattered farmhouses in the village.

In the rather muddy village road, a dozen or so naughty children are playing games, bouncing and jumping, so uncomfortable, and a few yellow-skinned but kind elders on the side stroke their beards with one hand, looking at their grandchildren playing with a kind face, and the corners of their mouths are smiling, as if they are enjoying the most beautiful things in the world.

The whole village is full of life.

At the entrance of the village, there was a wooden stake with three ordinary characters written on it—

Qu'er Village.

Click...

The horse's hooves stomped heavily on a brand-new mound, and directly pressed the wooden monument on it.

Among the warriors, the masked man at the head of the group glanced at him, and soon found that there were many newly erected graves nearby.

"Heh......"

Looking at these mounds, he sneered inexplicably, and his face showed disdain.

"It's just an ant-like pariah, and when it dies, it's dead, and it's no different from an ant who is inadvertently trampled to death, I really don't know what to erect a monument."

The subordinate on the side accosted: "Untouchables are untouchables, how can cultivators like us understand the thoughts of those ants." ”

"That's right."

The masked man shrugged his shoulders, and then rode straight over the mounds without hesitation.

"Just ants, what you think, why do you care."

Seeing the boss like this, the other warriors also did the same, directly hitting the horses and stepping forward, some even deliberately controlled the horses to trample on the grave, and there was no respect and awe for the deceased in their eyes under the mask, and some were just dismissive and indifferent.

It's like no one cares how many ants they trample on.

As high-ranking cultivators, they didn't care what these tombs meant to the villagers below.

After a group of warriors stepped over the mound, the masked man slowly drew the sharp blade at his waist and looked directly at Qu'er Village below.

"It's almost time, do it!"

"No!"

As the order fell, all the martial artists drew their swords at the same time, and at the same time quickly condensed the spiritual power in their bodies, penetrating the spiritual veins around their bodies, and quickly launching the exercises.

In the next second, when the air around their bodies shook slightly in the surge of spiritual power, their feet were violently forced, and the whole person jumped up from the horse's back and swooped down towards Qu'er Village below.

At the same time as the figures of a group of warriors approached Qu'er Village like ghosts, the dark clouds in the already dim sky suddenly became thicker.

Obscuring the sky.

The sky within the Tianmen Mountains suddenly became extremely dark, and the rich aura of water continued to converge towards the sky above Tianmen Mountain, and even radiated to the surrounding area, making the sky in the entire Yuzhou and Suizhou darken, as if it was night in advance.

Poof!

Poof!!

The moment the figures of the warriors disappeared, a terrible sound sounded in the farmhouse of Qu'er Village in an instant.

Bang!!!

A thunderclap suddenly flashed in the dreary sky, and a strong thunderbolt pierced the darkness and shone in Qu'er Village, spreading a blinding layer of silver frost on the wisps of red blood flowing from the edge of the farmhouse.

Under the dazzling thunder light, only a few afterimages could be faintly seen shuttling between the farmhouses.

On the village road, the children and the kind old people who were still playing and frolicking had completely collapsed in a pool of blood at this time.

A streak of blood on their necks, and the remaining smile on their faces, stood out in the thunder light.

The loud roar covered up all the sounds in Qu'er Village.

Except from heaven, no one knew that the tragedy that was taking place in this small mountain village, which had only recently regained its vitality and peace with the efforts of the new governor of the two states.

Rushing...

The night-like sky suddenly fell with raindrops the size of beans, and in the blink of an eye, a curtain of rain with extremely low visibility was formed, enveloping the two states in the rain.

Half an hour later, the warriors gathered again on the hillside where the new graves had just been filled.

Including the masked man in charge, everyone was covered in blood at this time, and the rain sprinkled on the blade in his hand, washing away all the blood stains on it.

"You're done killing, aren't you?"

The masked man asked, squinting his eyes.

"Don't worry, sir."

A subordinate arched his hand at him and replied: "We have carefully confirmed that we have verified it, and all the 653 people in Qu'er Village have died under our knife, and there is absolutely no one alive." ”

Hearing this, the masked man nodded suddenly.

"Good."

He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the nearest village to Qu'er Village, and a fierce look quietly flashed in his eyes.

"So, let's go to the next one......"

The blade retracted its scabbard, and he slowly rolled over his horse.

The other warriors also jumped on horseback, and the movement was called a dashing.

"Remember."

The masked man raised the horsewhip in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"These are all villains who have offended the prince, according to the laws of Great Xia, if there are civilians who offend the royal family, they will be punished for the crime of great rebellion and punishment! For these mobs who have violated the laws of Great Xia, as the defenders of the laws of Great Xia, we must not be merciful, do you understand?! ”

"No!"

Boom!

The moment the whip fell, the white horse under the masked man's crotch neighed again, and he jerked out of place, followed by the others.

It didn't take long for everyone to disappear into the rain.

Meanwhile.

State Yamen, in front of the lobby.

"Huh?"

Lu Chen looked at the rain scene outside the house, and a sense of irritability inexplicably welled up in his heart.

"It's raining again."

"Hmm."

Fu Huan, who was quietly accompanying Lu Chen, said softly.

"The state of the water aura in the Tianmen Mountains is getting more and more weird, according to this situation, it is estimated that the Tianmen River will soon form a flood and impact the Tianmen River dam."

Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed with emotion and said: "Fortunately, Xiao Shangshu found out in time and wrote to Your Majesty, and Governor Lu, you desperately admonished Your Majesty, and forced the two guards to rush to the dam area to consolidate the dam and open a canal to discharge the flood, which is the current good situation, otherwise if the situation of the dam last year is adopted, it is estimated that the people downstream will have no way to live now." ”

Lu Chen said lightly: "It's just a matter of duty, it's not worth mentioning." ”

After the words fell, he stopped looking at Fu Huan, and walked directly into the lobby.

"Governor Lu!"

The moment Lu Chen walked into the lobby, a loud voice sounded inside.

But he saw dozens of Xuan Jiwei dressed in county official uniforms and wearing black veils standing straight on both sides of the lobby, maintaining a posture of bowing in unison to welcome his arrival.

"Hmm."

Lu Chen walked to the main seat and sat down, then raised his head, and looked around at the Xuanjiwei who was wearing the official uniform for the first time below, or the acting county commander and the acting county officer, and finally his eyes inexplicably stayed on those five big and three thick Xuanji Wei.

Immediately after, a strange flash quietly flashed in his eyes.

The predecessor of Xuanjiwei was Xuanwuwei, and Xuanwuwei, as the most elite guard of the Cangming Army, had already proven its strength when defeating the forbidden army.

As the leader of the former Xuanwu Guard, Xuanjiwei's strength is naturally stronger, which is also fully reflected in the body type.

Except for Fang Yu, who is like a jade, and a few young people who practice special exercises, most of the others look like iron towers.

These strong men who are two meters tall and have big shoulders and thick waists are wearing a polite official uniform, which is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.

If I had to give an example, it would be the feeling of seeing JOJO in women's clothes.

Shaking his head, Lu Chen shook off the strange thoughts in his mind, and then said directly to the point: "There are still some urgent official duties to be dealt with later, and the time is pressing, if you have any questions you want to ask the official before leaving, just ask now." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yu immediately stood up, and then, in the expectation of everyone, raised his voice and asked, "Your Excellency Governor, I want to ask you for advice, what is the [way of government]?" ”

It is not the way of officials, but the way of government.

Hearing this question, Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and after reacting, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly inexplicably.

"Is the way of government......

After tea, Lu Chen sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly spoke: "In the official's opinion, the so-called way of government is to deal with the affairs of the people, and it is a great truth to benefit the people. ”

When the words fell, Fang Yu and the others, including Fu Huan behind Lu Chen, most of Xuan Jiwei's faces had a look of thought on their faces.

As he spoke, he paused slightly, then turned his head inexplicably to look out the window at the growing rain.

"As for what the Great Dao is......
