The catastrophe of Lingping City is enough to go down in history, its casualties are heavy, and the degree of destruction of the city is not exaggerated than a fierce battle of slaughtering the city, this matter will be transmitted from the border pass to the Kyoto Imperial Case in an urgent manner of 800 miles later, and there are even secret spies who are good at observing and summarizing hidden in the shadows, and almost at the same time handed over the secret report, which stated the facts more comprehensive and close to the truth.

The emperor was furious, whether it was a gesture or a real anger, someone had to take the blame for this matter. According to the secret report, almost all the officials in Lingping City were killed, and the armor of the patrol soldiers and horses wrapped in the elite of the Blue Wolf Army and the Bai Family Army were also damaged, and the official yamen and the local Tingwei Mansion not to mention whether there were enough people to rebuild, just talking about their status as officials was not enough to take the blame.

This operation was approved by his own hands, and who knew that there was such a big mistake, and the emperor could only set his eyes on Wu Chengxi, the border general closest to him.

"It's just a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, and I hope Your Majesty won't punish General Wu too much. "That's what the secret agent in front of the palace said.

The emperor was not angry that the spy was protecting his ministers, because this was one of the closest people to him, and what he said was also true.

"Someone has to take the blame, just wait for Wu Chengxi to submit the punishment documents, and then he will have the opportunity to be lightly punished. The emperor sighed, he was really saddened by Ling Ping's tragedy, there were only two monarchs and ministers in the hall, and there was no element of acting on the spot, which showed that the strength of Da Chu this year was not groundless, and it was inseparable from this hard-working majesty.

"The Jia Shen account led by Qu Huang has made a lot of efforts this time, and Qu Huang has actually entered the realm of half-step manifestation, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a genius at the age of thirty. It is a pity that the catastrophe is too great to reward them. ”

His Royal Highness's secret agent said respectfully: "Thunder, rain and dew are all royal graces, and it is the greatest reward to make Your Majesty remember their kindness." ”

Listening to the flattering words of the trusted old slave, a faint smile finally appeared on the emperor's gloomy face.

The emperor didn't want to get too caught up in the heavy catastrophe, so he changed his words and said, "I heard that in the second half of the catastrophe, I thought that the power of Huangquan appeared, so that I was able to quickly finish off the remaining Heavenly Demons and Formation Energy. ”

The old slave replied, "Indeed, thanks to the power of these wise men who walk the world with their hearts and minds. ”

"I don't know when I will be able to gather a number of talents from the Great Power Realm. "The emperor was a little self-deprecating, how could a person in this realm be restrained by the power of a dynasty.

"Your Majesty, more than forty camps similar to the Jiashen Account have risen again, and geniuses are gathered among them, and it is only a matter of time before a few masters who serve the royal family are raised. ”

The Emperor nodded, also full of anticipation for this war system.

"Now Bai Mo is powerful, the situation in the court is changing, although I can still control it, but the risk of the incident of establishing the crown prince is too great, the battle for the throne is about to break out, Yan and Zhao are also making small moves, we have endured it for a long time, and if we don't fight back, we will really be at a disadvantage. The secret spies under the command of Aiqing are estimated to be too busy to turn around. ”

The old slave named Chen Lin knelt on his knees, and after showing his loyalty, he bowed down and carefully retreated, leaving the emperor alone in the dragon chair, caressing his forehead, as if there were countless troubles waiting for him to deal with.

Since the return of Wu Chengxi, the truly powerful general, Ling Ping City has completely begun the pace of comprehensive reconstruction, at first there were questions about whether Ling Ping still signaled the people to live, and then they were directly refuted, because the public opinion does not allow them to leave their homes, even if everyone has experienced such a shocking and terrible event, they will not give up the land where their ancestors have lived for generations.

Moreover, there is no extra place to settle these refugees around, except for those deep mountains and old forests full of smoke and miasma, and birds and beasts are rampant, but the mountains on the periphery of the Funiu Mountains next to the east of the city can be used as a place for temporary resettlement of refugees.

In addition to Zhao Kai and his hard-working sergeants repairing the city wall and rebuilding the houses, all the elite armor soldiers who were transferred to the mountains to suppress bandits at that time were also all involved in it, and the manpower transferred by the four officials was also in full swing to handle various matters, and the strong laborers who survived were pulled to the city to help build simple houses, repair the city walls, and improve various public measures in the city.

For charity and Wu Chengxi's coercion and inducement, the nearby merchants brought all kinds of materials, and the same grain, grass and money allocated by His Majesty for disaster relief, and no official was bold enough to do anything about it, these materials were enough to sustain the hard life of these refugees, but the people in the world still need to stand tall to give an explanation.

So on the second day of the catastrophe, Wu Chengxi personally wrote a letter, on the table of a sincere sentence to be punished and handed to the emperor, as the saying goes, only those who know how to be ruthless to themselves are people with great wisdom, and those who also know the sacred heart can live a long time, from this handwritten letter can see the depth of Wu Chengxi's skills as an official, in a word, that is, His Majesty wants him to bear the responsibility, Wu Chengxi does not admit all of them, but he does not have the habit of being the wronged boss for the rest of the crimes, only by doing so, His Majesty will have the mood to help you block the mouth of the world。

A few days later, the emperor's decree came, Wu Chengxi led the guards to stop the dirty work in their hands, hurriedly walked down from the top of the city wall, and respectfully saluted to receive the order, as one of the most powerful generals in Dachu, his mood was calm and could not make the slightest waves, this is the realm of dealing with people, indicating that he is very confident in his judgment, and the result is not surprising, the emperor did not punish him heavily after all.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Today, there is a demon sect in the ancestral land of my Great Chu Longyao, which caused Ling Ping to be destroyed, I am heartbroken, and the demon sect is hard to escape, and I ordered the court lieutenant of Longyao Prefecture to be fully dispatched, and Liu Yun, the staff of the military department, will treat me to Lingping to supervise the work. ”

"And Wu Chengxi, the commander of the Green Wolf Army, was not thoughtful, his plan was missing, and he sent the elite out of the city to cause chaos among the heavenly demons in the city, and went to the mountains to exterminate the Demon Sect but let all the leaders of the other party escape, and he wanted to add a felony, and he was dismissed from his post and assigned, but he remembered that he had made great contributions, and his heart of correcting his mistakes was sincere and true, so I also gave him a chance, although he was pardoned, but the living crime was inescapable, and Wu Chengxi was punished for ten years, and the Green Wolf Army was demoted, and the glory of his heavenly army was taken off, and Wu Chengxi was ordered to make meritorious contributions and rebuild the city, and he could also act at the opportunity to hunt down the remnants of the Demon Sect,"

Wu Chengxi's face finally became gloomy, and he couldn't stop twitching at the cheeks of the thick soil, the name of the Blue Wolf Army was taken off the name of the Heavenly Army was something he never expected, this was the glory that every soldier who died in the Yongyang War in exchange for his life, but now he was used by himself to atone for his guilt, and the guilt in his heart that had been suppressed burst again at this time, and the green tendons on his hands burst out, and he couldn't stop trembling.

So when the eunuch who announced the decree finished reading and handed over the holy decree, Wu Chengxi had not yet shaken his senses, thanks to the reminder of the deputy general, Wu Chengxi was not too rude, and it was only a few breaths of stunned thought, at this moment Wu Chengxi hurriedly raised his hand respectfully, accepted the holy decree, and after talking with the eunuch on the scene, he left here, his face was sad, and he seemed to have a sadness that could not be dissolved.

Zhao Kai has once again entered a period of calm these days, at least on the surface, he does not refuse the work of the wounded barracks and the hard work of building the city wall, he can do as much as he can, this is a sense of fulfillment that he is pursuing, and only this kind of fatigue after work can make him get some comfort in a foreign land, at least he can understand that his life is real, and it is very important for him to prove this.

For Zhao Kai, the habit developed through the training of the Shadow Killing Hall has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, all the secrets behind the scenes, and the things that can't be opened are just letters that are backlogged in the heart waiting to be processed, anyway, they are all going to be written and sent, the big deal is to burn them all and start over, but I don't know if the group of killers in the Shadow Killing Hall will give them the opportunity to atone for their crimes, but now that they have a heavy bargaining chip, they can be regarded as having confidence.

Although everything in Lingping City was destroyed, even with all the arrangements of the forces on the surface or behind the scenes, Linglong Pavilion's contact methods in Lingping were completely useless, but Zhao Kai did not have the intention of escaping control, it may be that everything in the Shadow Killing Hall was too bloody and cruel, and the role he played in it was weak and helpless, which made Zhao Kai lose the mind to resist.

Of course, this can be said to be Zhao Kai's subconscious move to avoid the crisis, in the past, Zhao Kai also thought deeply about whether to escape at the right time, but he didn't get an accurate answer, until now he chose to give up.

On the night when the decision to give up and flee was made, Zhao Kai found that more than one pair of surveillance eyes appeared around him again, which was the news that he could accurately learn from Ayaluo's realm, and Zhao Kai, who was very happy, decided to play a good job and activate the emergency contact method that only one person had once, in order to show his loyalty and reliability.

At the same time, Zhao Kai didn't know that the master of the Shadow Killing Hall had found him, and earnestly looked for the organization to recontact him, the humble environment, the shoddy materials, Zhao Kai saw that several people hidden in the shadows nodded again and again, and immediately recognized Zhao Kai's loyal membership of the Shadow Killing Palace.

A small and delicate flute whistle starts, Zhao Kai rolls the paper into a roll and hangs it on the front of the whistle with a special red rope to match, lifting, shaking, it looks quite cute, when Zhao Kai blows this small musical instrument, it is the moment when it turns into a glorious shadow and leaves quickly with the paper.

After doing this, Zhao Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, another thing was over, and then it was time to wait for the reply of the Shadow Killing Palace, and to practice the Golden Light Technique with hard work.

Zhao Kai was not afraid that Jin Guangjue's cultivation would be discovered by the people who were watching, because he was sure that he would bring this matter back, but the third-stage spirit treasure sent by Liu Qing needed to be used carefully, and this kind of high-level spirit treasure was not something that he, a small person who was deeply controlled, could have.

Just as Zhao Kai's hut was overflowing with golden light, his chest down and even his legs and feet were as unshakable as the golden Buddha statues, and the light began to flicker on his arms, like a faint gold dust gradually spreading, the temporary construction of the Lingping City Lord's Mansion was not peaceful, because the angel hand-picked by His Majesty had arrived.

The original incompetent city lord died in the siege of the heavenly demons, Wu Chengxi temporarily took the position of the city lord at this time, and all the officials who were qualified to attend were present, Qu Huang stood behind Wu Chengxi, although this time because the Jiashen account still needed to be hidden and there was no reward, but the prestige and popularity gained by shouldering the great responsibility in the catastrophe can not be ignored.

At this moment, facing a group of local officials, Liu Yunshan, who was wearing a scarlet official uniform and wearing a silver fish bag but was dusty, was angry and seemed to be patient.
