Chapter 455: The Scourge of Greed
Jiang Yu has a tacit understanding with the people of the demon clan, that is, the refugees guided by the Snow Immortal Sect, and the demon clan will not be embarrassed. Because of this, a large number of refugees were able to be sheltered by Jiang Yu and the Snow Immortal Sect. People are very adaptable animals, and soon those monks who were regarded as enemies by the demon clan discovered the relationship between the Snow Immortal Sect and the Demon Clan, and when they had no way to retreat, they chose to blend into the team of refugees and fled under the protection of the Snow Immortal Sect. But a monk is a monk, even if he is down, even if he wears tattered clothes, his words and deeds, he is very different from ordinary people, and he can't hide it at all.
Jiang Yu came to these injured monks pretending to be refugees, looked back and forth, and found an acquaintance in a corner, who was none other than Ouyang Lin in the past, and now the lord of the Great Yan Country. After the three major alliances came to the Wasteland, the strength of the Great Yan Country was weakened a lot, and now the demon army swept through, and the Great Yan Country was destroyed in just one afternoon, like a hurricane passing through. Ouyang Lin, who had just usurped the throne and had not yet sat on his buttocks, was now in the wild.
Jiang Yu looked at Ouyang Lin, and Ouyang Lin also looked at Jiang Yu, the eyes of the two looked at each other, Ouyang Lin was still a little trembling, he didn't know what Jiang Yu wanted to do. Suddenly, Jiang Yu said to the people behind him: "Change a good dress for Brother Ouyang." The lord of a country, how can he dress like this?"
Jiang Yu said a word, and those members of the Snow Immortal Sect immediately came over and put on a new set of clothes for Ouyang Lin to change. Taking advantage of Ouyang Lin's time to change clothes, Jiang Yu took a closer look, and he found that although he didn't know any of these people, he could also see that so many people should have come together randomly, not people from one sect or one faction, like Ouyang Lin was just alone. Who is a partner with whom, sometimes it can be seen at a glance, Jiang Yu found that these people have the most, that is, two or three people are together, and the others should be individual soldiers.
Suddenly, Jiang Yu felt a hint of the aura of a magic weapon, all of them were monks here, and it was nothing new to have a magic weapon. And what made the general wonder was that he was very familiar with the breath of the magic weapon.
"Hmm......" Jiang Yu frowned, walked through the crowd, and finally, stopped in front of an old man dressed in tatters. Everyone focused their eyes on Jiang Yu, and they all wanted to see what Jiang Yu wanted to do.
"Solution!" Jiang Yu explained, and in an instant, he saw that the white smoke on the old man's body dispersed, obviously the spell was broken, the spell dispersed, and the camouflage of the outer layer also disappeared, and he saw a young woman appear in front of Jiang Yu's eyes, and saw that the woman was good-looking, gentle and elegant, holding a handful of gonghou in her hand, as soon as she appeared, she attracted almost everyone's attention.
Qinglian Yueji! Others don't know each other, but Jiang Yu knows, after all, this woman has fought him once. A leader among the young generation of Qiongxian Island.
"Miss Qinglian, why are you here?" Jiang Yu was not at all at ease about the three major alliances, and it was always right to be on guard.
Being seen through the disguise by Jiang Yu, Qinglian Yueji was a little embarrassed, but seeing Jiang Yu ask like this, she bowed and said, "It's so down, let the Jiang City Lord laugh." ”
Jiang Yu listened to her words, sighed lightly, and said, "Forget it." Then he instructed his followers to treat these people well and take them to safety. Qinglian Yueji just made a simple move, Jiang Yu had already seen that she had suffered a very serious external injury, and her movement was actually very inconvenient, and she also had bloody qi on her body, and that kind of bloody wound was still bleeding.
"Thank you, City Lord Jiang. Qinglian Yueji's words, although they were words of thanks, but Jiang Yu heard a trace of coldness from those words, Jiang Yu thought about it, and almost understood the reason. It's very simple, now these monks need their own help, that's because they have to, and more monks, I'm afraid that they feel that they are enemies in collusion with the demon clan, even Qinglian Yueji probably thinks the same, it is because of this, so even if he is saved, there is no way to be grateful.
Jiang Yuyi waved his hand and motioned to take these people away.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five days have passed. The demon army has ended the fighting in most parts of the wasteland, and the major sects have almost withdrawn their forces from the wasteland, only a few scattered cities, and the remnants of some villages and towns have not yet ended.
In the past few days, Jiang Yu has not been idle, in addition to settling the refugees, the progress of receiving the south has not lagged behind. He sent officials to those unmanaged territories in a timely manner, and occupied everything he could. The attack of those demon clans began to be very powerful, but the territory behind it was bigger, just like mercury pouring into the ground, and it was impossible for the demon clan to disperse all the combat power, so in fact, many cities, villages and towns, the demon clan just blew over like a gust of wind, and then did not occupy it. These places are all cheaper than Jiang Yu. For the first time, Jiang Yu felt that there were not enough people available in his hands. Although there are many elites who have been promoted from the Snow Immortal Sect, there are quite a few people in the Snow Immortal Sect, and it will take time to really pick them out, and it is not easy to solve the talent gap when it is so big all of a sudden, so all kinds of myths of being promoted to three levels in a day were born.
Jiang Yu was dealing with political affairs in the study in the dark, when he suddenly saw Hongrou walk in and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Where?" Jiang Yuyi asked in a daze.
"Back garden. He wasn't the only one who came. Hongrou admonished.
"I know. You get it here for me first......" Jiang Yu threw the work at hand to Hongrou, and then after tidying up his clothes, he went to his back garden.
When Jiang Yu came to the back garden, he saw that in the back garden, there was already a person sitting in the gazebo, pouring tea and chatting with the people around him.
The person who came was none other than Ouyang Lin. He was not at all the same as he was a few days ago, and although he was wearing civilian clothes now, he was also very gorgeous, and there were four guards by his side.
When Jiang Yu saw this scene, he sneered in his heart, and said in his heart that this was the addiction of being a king again, and the shelf was set up again.
"Brother Ouyang is looking for me, what's the matter?" Jiang Yu greeted Ouyang Lin, but Ouyang Lin was nothing, but the guards around him were a little dissatisfied. Jiang Yu looked at the guards mockingly, then looked around, and said, "This is not your Great Yan Country. ”
"Stand down!" Ouyang Lin waved his hand, and those guards naturally retreated to the back.
"I have a lot of things to do now, I don't have much time to entertain Brother Ouyang, Brother Ouyang is not looking for me to chat, right?" Jiang Yu asked.
Ouyang Lin looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Of course not, it's just that I have something to ask Brother Jiang." ”
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yu shook his head and asked a little incredulously.
"That's the ......" Ouyang Lin thought for a while and said, "I heard that Brother Jiang has recently recovered a lot of land in the barren state. In fact, Ouyang Lin also knows how Jiangyu's land came from, and the word recovery is actually not accurate at all. But in order to curry favor with Jiang Yu, he had to say so.
Hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded slightly, and said, "I did recover some land, what does Brother Ouyang mean by asking this?"
Ouyang Lin thought for a while and said: "My Great Yan Kingdom was destroyed by the Demon Clan, although this is the case, but our monarchs and ministers still have the heart to restore the country, I hope that Brother Jiang can help me restore the country in the past, after all, the land is ......" What Ouyang Lin wanted to say was that after all, the land was in the hands of Jiang Yu, and the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom in the past was also in the hands of Jiang Yu now, as long as Jiang Yu said a word, the Great Yan Kingdom could be restored.
Ouyang Lin saw that Jiang Yu didn't speak, he thought about it, bowed, and then said: "Brother Jiang, I know that we have some misunderstandings in the past, if I do something wrong, I hope you understand, if you talk about the restoration of the country, Brother Jiang feels embarrassed, then it is better to be like this." I know that Brother Jiang is short of manpower now, so it is better for me to recall all the old departments of the Great Yan Kingdom, and then assist Brother Jiang in management, if Brother Jiang is crowned king and emperor in the future, Ouyang Lin is willing to follow in Brother Jiang's footsteps. ”
......
Ouyang Lin's words were very beautiful, but Jiang Yu didn't want to listen to them. waved his hand and said, "Brother Ouyang, your official addiction is not small, but to be honest, I am not interested in any matter of being crowned emperor at all." I'm afraid it's hard to satisfy your idea of worshipping the prime minister and even usurping the throne. ”
Jiang Yu's words frightened Ouyang Lin a lot, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and the other four guards also knelt down under Ouyang Lin's eyes.
I heard Ouyang Lin say: "Since I have decided to follow you, I will never dare to have the slightest rebellious heart, I am willing to swear a demon in my heart......"
When Jiang Yu heard this, he smiled lightly, then paced a few steps, and said, "You really reminded me just now, you said that I am understaffed, indeed, I am really understaffed." ”
Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Ouyang Lin, who was originally hanging in his heart, was relieved at once, and said that as long as Jiang Yu lacked manpower, it would be easy to do. But Jiang Yuyi turned his head and said, "Brother Ouyang seems to know a secret from me." ”
"Absolutely dare not leak it. Ouyang Lin bowed his head and said. When he said this, Jiang Yu didn't think so, he said in his heart Ouyang Lin, if he was given a chance, it was estimated that he would be able to sell the affairs of himself and Immortal Valley cleanly.
"Get up. Jiang Yu said a word, Ouyang Lin and the four guards behind him all stood up together, thinking that Jiang Yu would agree, but suddenly saw Jiang Yu's kung fu as soon as he turned around, five dazzling sword lights swept over, and in an instant, all five people were swords, like Jiang Yu, a sword master, such a close attack, and a sudden attack, even Yanzong may not be able to guard against it. The four guards had already fallen to the ground and died, while Ouyang Lin still had a breath to breathe, looking at Jiang Yu, stunned and puzzled.
Jiang Yu smiled apologetically and said, "Let you get up because I never kill people who kneel." I saved your life because I took pity on you for your hardship as a cultivator, and since you yourself don't know how to cherish it, you are not greedy enough, and you came here to die, then you can't blame me. ”
When Ouyang Lin heard this, he wanted to speak but couldn't, so he fell to the ground and died. Jiang Yu slapped his face, and immediately more than a dozen women from the Snow Immortal Sect rushed out. Now Jiang Yu has also begun to gradually pay attention to the protection work, in his backyard, there are many henchmen of the Snow Immortal Sect here to protect, of course, the backyard is all female dependents, so these people are also women.
"When will the Holy Lord summon?" asked the first of the women. Jiang Yu looked at Ouyang Lin's dead body on the ground and said, "Chop off his head and send it to Yuan Ping, he knows what to do." Jiang Yu's meaning is obvious, because there is a shortage of manpower now, and there were many talents in the past ten stars, but these people have always refused to use them for themselves because of Ouyang Lin's affairs, and now Ouyang Lin's head is sent over, and these people in the ten stars can be used to solve their urgent needs. These people are definitely much more capable than the old ministry that Ouyang Lin said, and if they can be used well, they should be the humerus of the country.
The members of the Snow Immortal Sect, after receiving the order, began to move, tidying up the corpses and cleaning the garden, for them, bloody things were too common. It doesn't take it seriously.
Jiang Yuxin walked back to the front, but heard someone behind him: "I can't see it, it's quite dark for you to start." The voice that spoke was Shi Lan, Shi Lan's habit was to follow Jiang Yu as much as possible when he wasn't practicing, and Jiang Yu was also used to it, so he wasn't surprised where Shi Lan appeared.
Jiang Yu didn't look back at Shi Lan, but said, "You haven't seen it even darker." ”
"It's even darker, now that the people outside are about to call you a living bodhisattva who saves suffering, where are you still dark?" Shi Lan said with a smile.
Jiang Yu sighed, looked back at Shi Lan, and said a little helplessly: "I said Miss Shi Lan, you stayed at the beginning, you planned to compete with me for a sword, you lost the bet, I made you a cook, but the time limit has passed, whether you plan to continue to fight with me in the future, or simply give up, you should leave here, right?"
When Shi Lan heard that Jiang Yu was going to drive her away, she frowned and said, "Why did you drive me away?"
Jiang Yu turned around and continued walking, Shi Lan followed, and listened to Jiang Yu say, "You are not suitable here." ”
"Did I disturb you? If so, I promise not to make a sound in the future. What Shi Lan said naturally meant that when Jiang Yu was doing good deeds, he would occasionally find Shi Lan spying on him.
Jiang Yu sighed and didn't say anything, Shi Lan saw that he didn't say anything, and said, "Is it possible, you have a new love, and you think I'm an eyesore?"
When Jiang Yu heard this, he frowned, stopped and turned around again, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What kind of new love and old love, when did you become my old love? Besides, it's not good for you to learn something here, you have to learn ......" Jiang Yu flicked the sleeves of his robe, very helpless, he could hear it, Shi Lan's tone of speech was learned from Yu Bingchen. In fact, Jiang Yu didn't notice that when Shi Lan said this, her face was already as red as a red cloth, for her, to say this kind of thing, but to let go of a woman's reserve, it can be said that it took great courage.
Jiang Yu took a few steps forward, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned around and asked, "The new love you just said, what is that?"
Hearing this, Shi Lan was also stunned, and responded: "You forgot, you rescued a very beautiful woman a few days ago, you said that she was seriously injured, let the people of the Snow Immortal Sect focus on healing." ”
As soon as Jiang Yu heard this, he understood that what he was talking about should be Qinglian Yueji, because Jiang Yu had indeed ordered it at the beginning, but it was only a very objective attitude, because Qinglian Yueji's injuries were indeed very serious at that time, and among many monks, it was difficult to heal.
"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Yu had a strange premonition.
When Shi Lan heard this, he smiled slyly and said, "The Holy Lord focuses on taking care of and commanding such a beautiful woman, let me ask the people in the Snow Immortal Sect, which one dares to be lazy?" Of course, it is to use the best medicine, the best doctor, in the end, I am afraid that it will not work, and I also went to the Holy Master's predecessor to ask for medicine, and now the person is settled in this backyard, what's the matter, doesn't the Holy Lord want to go and see?"
