Chapter 16: What the Stuff?
Three days later, Tongyang County, the county capital.
Lu Xuan frowned and looked at the man in front of him who was kneeling on the ground silently.
"That's you...... Kill my helmsman? Lu Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and said puzzledly: "Have you always been so brave?" ”
deliberately provoking, Lu Xuan thought that this Yanzhou had some calculations, and wanted to lure himself over to fight.
In order to deal with it, Lu Xuan brought 30,000 guardians this time, the city-breaking crossbow developed by Zhang Yuanrou and the battle hall were all brought, as well as Yan Danfeng and Yang Ao hidden in the dark and could shoot at any time.
But the result?
Tongyang County was easily broken by Lu Xuan, Taishou and a group of staff were arrested, the city wall was directly destroyed by the sound of the city-breaking crossbow of the apologetic army, and the city-breaking crossbow was also unveiled in front of the world for the first time.
The county soldiers did not say that they were defeated against the battle hall, even against the upper guardian army, and they did not even have a chance to fight back.
What the hell is this anti-thief!?
You tell me that this is the Unified Sect thief army that was chased by hundreds of people back then?
If it weren't for the other party's banner, Liu Wei would have thought that he was fighting against the forbidden army of the imperial court.
He spent a lot of money, and the eight Liupin who were recruited from Tiandu directly rebelled and defected!
Liu Wei can also be regarded as a person who has experienced the war, he led the troops to quell the rebellion of the Unified Religion back then, and he also had a share of the credit, experienced dozens of large and small wars, and did not lose a single defeat, but today, he was destroyed by the Unified Religion anti-thieves that he never looked down on.
I was even more humiliated and brought to Lu Xuan.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was a few years younger than himself, Liu Wei had an ugly smile on his face: "I don't know the power of the sect leader, offending the sect leader, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" ”
"You are too shou here, Tongyang County is close to Yunzhou, you should have heard of my reputation." Lu Xuan got up and came to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If it is useful to apologize, where is the need for a court in this world?" It's an honor for you to have me here in person. ”
"Sect Master, this matter has nothing to do with us." Kneeling at the scene, in addition to Liu Wei, there are also a number of large and small wealthy families in Tongyang County, now it is not as good as seven years ago, these wealthy families have doormen, but now Lu Xuan is not the little person who struggled for survival seven years ago, the scale of the Guiyi Sect is not as big as it was back then, but the strength is several grades higher than the original Guiyi Sect, these families are still lambs to be slaughtered in front of Lu Xuan, and there is no difference in essence.
"The Guiyi Church wants to preach in Yanzhou, and originally, this seat also wants to preach in a gentle way, and everyone is safe." Lu Xuan sighed and looked at everyone regretfully: "But what did you get in exchange?" It's alienation, disdain, and suppression, and if you don't destroy a few clans today, the words of this seat are probably useless. ”
Lu Xuan looked at the old man kneeling in the middle, and said with a smile: "Master Mu, are you right?" ”
The old man raised his head to meet Lu Xuan's gaze, his lips squirmed, and he lowered his head silently.
The shadow of this person's famous tree, the Guiyi Sect can flourish like Yunzhou, it is all cast by the rolling heads of the local wealthy clans, the fields, industries, and wealth of the Guiyi Sect are not conjured out of thin air, in essence, Lu Xuan wants to take resources from them, but it is useless to give them directly, and the Guiyi Sect will not accept it.
Now if you want to protect the family, the only way is to gamble, according to Mu Wenyun's summary of Lu Xuan's past deeds, who lives and who dies in the end depends on luck.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Lu Xuan knew that the other party understood, and waved his hand and said, "Don't waste everyone's time, take it!" ”
Ergou came up with a big bowl, and there was a bunch of paper balls in the bowl: "Today is simpler, everyone catches the lot to determine life and death, this time the matter is not big or small, as long as the five families come out to admit death, it is enough, there are five dead words in it, and those who get it can only consider themselves unlucky." ”
Liu Wei hesitated, got up and wanted to grab the lot, but was grabbed by Yang Chong next to Lu Xuan.
"Sect Master, I'm willing to come first." Liu Wei tried to make his smile sincere, he didn't want to die.
"Don't make trouble, although I am not good at investigating cases, but if you kill my helmsman and kill my sect members, you must die." Lu Xuan sat down and looked at Mu Wenyun and said, "Mu Lao, let's make a sample." ”
Chen Ergou held the big bowl in front of Mu Wenyun: "Please." ”
Mu Wenyun sighed, trembled and pulled out a paper ball, which was slowly opened under the nervous gaze of everyone, it was a blank piece of paper, Mu Wenyun sat down on the ground with some strength, and after a moment of relief, he saluted Lu Xuan and stepped aside.
The five unlucky lucky ones were quickly selected, and they were miserable and miserable and pleading, but Lu Xuan obviously wouldn't say much to them, the family tragedy that had happened many times in Yunzhou was staged for the first time in Tongyang County, no matter how much hearsay, it was better to feel the excitement of Lu Xuan's game in person.
Liu Wei still wanted to struggle and beg for mercy, but it was useless, he was the culprit, and now the entire Tongyang County not only Lu Xuan wanted him to die, but also those big families who were good friends on weekdays also wished for him to die.
People preach and preach, what ability do you have when you have nothing to do?
It's not a matter of worrying about returning to the unified religion, now it's okay, the leader of the sect came to reason with you in person, you are standing up, all kinds of despised before the war, and as a result, as soon as the war started, he was beaten by others and knelt directly to beg for mercy, this is really a leak to everyone in the entire Tongyang County, not only is his head not guaranteed, but also he has to let the big clan follow the blame, it is really a blessing for everyone to know you!
When Liu Wei died, it was the most relieved time for everyone.
"Alright, the chores are taken care of, it's time to get down to business." Lu Xuan sat on the main seat of the yamen, looking at a group of Tongyang County clans, some even the entire Yanzhou clan, Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Now the matter of my Guiyi mission in Tongyang County has been decided, but this mission is a bit expensive, and later each family will report on the family land and shops, etc., you have no merit in my Guiyi Sect, do not enjoy tax reductions and exemptions, two taxes and one, and those that are not registered, will be regarded as the private property of the Guiyi Church, that's all, what are your opinions, just say!" ”
Now Lu Xuan is not the small capital that he was at the beginning, there is the entire Yunzhou behind him, and there is also the famous name that was killed in the past, although he is dissatisfied with this tax, but who dares to have an opinion?
Lu Xuan or today's Unified Religion is different from the imperial court, the imperial court can be false and wronged, but here in Lu Xuan, it may be to draw lots again, and the big net woven by the scholars is only useful in the imperial court, and it is useless to put it here in the Unified Religion.
But everyone didn't give up hope, today's Yanzhou is different from seven years ago, Mu Wenyun's granddaughter Mu Feixue is the chief soldier of Yanzhou, and her strength is even more insightful realm martial arts, as long as the Guiyi Sect is repulsed, these things will naturally be invalid today.
Although the Guiyi Sect is powerful, without high-grade martial artists, everything is empty talk.
So everyone acquiesced, of course, if the Guiyi Sect had the strength to defeat Mu Feixue, then everyone would not dare to act rashly.
"It's good that there are no objections, I remember that you haven't paid taxes to the court for three years." Lu Xuan took an account book from Yang Chong's hand, glanced at it cursoryly, and said: "It will be handed over within three days, and if it is not handed over, let's play the next round, what to play, you pick, I am a very democratic person." ”
Why do you collect the taxes of the imperial court?
Everyone was speechless, but they didn't dare to refute, they could only sigh that the world was difficult, and silently went home to prepare to pay taxes, after all, no matter how much money there was, it was not as important as the life of a full family.
"Sect Master, the detailed work we arranged in Changliu County has returned, and the Yanzhou General Military Mansion has already sent troops." After the big clans left, Sandao walked in quickly and saluted Lu Xuanyi.
"Prepare for war." Lu Xuan nodded, Sandao has formed the Divine Wind Hall in the past seven years, and has learned a lot from Yu Linglong, and now the secret agents of the Divine Wind Hall have formed a complete intelligence system in Yunzhou and Yanzhou.
"Yes!" Everyone agreed, and seeing that Lu Xuan had no other instructions, they bowed down and retreated.
In the main hall of the huge yamen, only Lu Xuan was left.
"Come out." Looking at the account book in his hand, Lu Xuan said casually.
Yu Linglong's wheelchair was slowly pushed out, this wheelchair was made by Zhang Yuanrou for her, there was a mechanism and true qi to urge, and no one needed to help push it.
"See the lord." Yu Linglong still wears the ghost-faced Shura mask, but it is a little more refined than the mask back then.
"Breaking through the sixth grade can't make your legs heal?" Lu Xuan nodded, looked at Yu Linglong's legs and frowned.
"Linglong's leg meridians are all broken, and there is no way to return to the sky, thank you for your concern." Yu Linglong bowed.
"Cave perception can reshape the body to a certain extent, which may help you." Lu Xuan nodded, there are pills to help Yu Linglong heal her wounds, but you can't give them directly, now Dan Chenzi's pills are one less than one, there are no materials for refining medicine on that planet, and the herbs here will be burned in a moment when they arrive there, these things, Lu Xuan is going to use them as an important reward.
Yu Linglong was silent, her legs and meridians were broken, it was a fluke to be able to enter the sixth grade, and it was more difficult for her to enter the fifth grade than to ascend to the sky.
"The information of the lord and his subordinates have been sorted out." Yu Linglong took out a booklet and said.
"Read!" Lu Xuan nodded and said.
"There are two masters of Yanzhou five products, one is Chi En, the general of Yanzhou Town, who is a native of Jinzhou, fifty-three years old, and his family background is in the middle and upper ranks of the Daqianshi clan, and he is quite famous in Jinzhou, but he has always been a Confucian heirloom, until Chi En appeared, twenty years ago, he broke through to the cave realm in one fell swoop, and at the same time, this person is also a Confucian five-grade meritorious monk, which can be said to be both civil and military."
"Another person Mu Feixue, the year before last broke through to the Wupin Cave Realm, this year Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-two years old, the daughter of the Mu family in Tongyang County, and also the granddaughter of Na Mu Wenyun, according to intelligence, this daughter has extraordinary talent since childhood, when she was ten years old, there was a Yin Moon Dao Sect Yuan Infant Elder who wanted to accept her as a disciple, but to enter the Dao Alliance, he needed to cut off the mortal dust and completely separate from the Mu family, Mu Feixue did not want to, this matter was abandoned, but his talent in martial arts was also quite amazing, and he practiced to the cave realm in twenty years, even if he had luck, it was extremely rare to accelerate his cultivation, Now it is the general soldier of Yanzhou, who leads the soldiers of various counties and counties, and is not subordinate to Chi En. ”
"There are a lot of big clans in Yanzhou, but there are only these two people who can pose a threat to my sect, this time they are attacking, it is this woman, this woman is devoted to martial arts, the art of war, and has never been married, the Mu family has a single lineage, and there is only one daughter in Mu Feixue's generation, which is intended to recruit money, but few people can enter his eyes, can enter his eyes, but he does not want to enter the family, this woman is quite homesick, Linglong thinks that if she starts with this, she may be able to take it into her command."
Lu Xuan nodded, and was about to say something, when his heart suddenly moved, and a coercion fell from the sky.
"The Lord is coming." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
