Immortality is still a very distant concept, he is not very old, he only thinks that he is strong enough to have a place in this world, so that he will not survive in the gap between good and evil, or become a dead soul under the sword, Li Xian, who really hasn't considered the eternal life that is no different from a daydream for him at present.

If you are not interested, you don't bother to dig deeper, Tang Que inquired about the news, even if there is a reliable channel, it may not be able to have more accurate follow-up news.

Li Xian began to understand why Han Shiqing appeared in Qingtai County with a group of masters, and the old and young Western Zhou people on the Sihai Tower last night suddenly killed the killer.

The people who attacked the two little five masters and General Li Xin's family must have been instructed by the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and eighty percent were the two people last night.

He first killed six assassins, and then twenty-five people with one sword, and ruined people's good things twice in a row, and it is not difficult to understand that the guy named Chu Yang made a move, but he failed to achieve his goal, and he had a murderous intent.

Tang Que also had another inquiry: "Childe, last night, all the city lords and generals on the Qingzhou front line of the Beiyang Dynasty were killed, but this incident is different from the Li Xin incident, and it was not done by the Western Zhou people. ”

Li Xian wondered, "What do you say?"

"It was done by the people sent by the Qianyuan Empire in the east, with the purpose of fighting for fish and mussels and profiting from fishermen. Even if they can't make a profit, Beiyang and Western Zhou consume each other and weaken each other, which is a great thing for the Qianyuan Empire. The two countries of Beiyang and the Western Zhou were in a struggle, and the Qianyuan Empire sent people to add fuel to the fire and deepen the contradictions and hatred between the two sides, which was what they were most happy to see. ”

Li Xian frowned, and moved his whole body, and things became more and more complicated.

"This time, the people sent by the Qianyuan Empire are a branch of the Demon Gate, these people are cruel, maybe there will be crazy things next, provoking the contradiction between Beiyang and Western Zhou. After speaking, Tang Que asked Li Xian: "Childe, what about us?"

"Watching a play. Li Xian said with a smile.

......

The war between the two countries is most affected by nothing more than these grass people at the bottom, who are prosperous, the people are suffering, and the people are dying, and the people are suffering, and that's it.

A rumor soon went viral in Qingyang City.

Say that if a heavenly punishment befalls Qingtai County, none of the 400,000 residents of Qingtai County will be spared.

As with most rumors, in the process of propagation, there is constant evolution, and different versions are competing to appear.

Especially at the moment when the war between Beiyang and Western Zhou is tight, people's hearts are like boiling water in a pot, making noise, and there is a danger of exploding more than the safe value at any time.

The lives of 400,000 people are at stake, and no one wants to be the innocent fish in the pond.

Han Shiqing gave an order to blockade Qingtai County, not entering or leaving, and this kind of uneasiness, irritability, and fear were magnified countless times in an instant.

People who want to go out of the city, gather outside the gate of the county ya, between life and death, no matter how timid people are, they can't care so much, those who follow the trend, take the opportunity to make trouble, and the Western Zhou Dynasty is mixed in, taking the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, stirring up contradictions, and making a lot of noise, which will block the water of the county government.

Dong Xuesi, the county magistrate who was already in a trance, ran into the lobby every three or five times and asked the prince of the Beiyang Dynasty, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai and pretending to be holding a book: "Lord Han, go and take a look, those people are going to turn the sky upside down." ”

Han Shiqing put down the book, didn't look at the panicked county order, and said coldly: "So what?"

Dong Xuesi, who was choked and speechless, took a step closer, and said more humbly and sincerely: "My lord, the front line in Qingzhou is tight, if there is another accident in Qingtai County, I'm afraid? Qingtai County is not far from the front line in Qingzhou." ”

Han Shiqing simply stopped talking, obviously a little impatient, and read by himself until a subordinate of the guard came to report: "My lord, General Song estimates that he will be able to go to Qingtai County tomorrow morning." ”

"Very good. Han Shiqing put down the book and stood up, took the Shang Fang sword given by His Majesty, and walked out with dozens of people.

The gate of the county government opened, and a group of officials rushed out of the county office, lined up on both sides, and Han Shiqing took his personal guards and came to the noisy crowd step by step.

"Ladies and gentlemen, under Han Shiqing, be the crown prince and concubine. On the orders of His Majesty, I came to Qingtai County to deal with important matters. The recent rumors are rumors deliberately released by the Western Zhou Dynasty to disturb the morale of the army. Everyone knows that at the moment, Beiyang and Xizhou have been facing off in the southwest for several days and are at a critical juncture. The Western Zhou Dynasty sent people to the front line of Qingzhou to make trouble and killed General Li Xin and his entire family, and the purpose was clearly revealed. In order to tread the iron hooves of the Western Zhou Dynasty all over the mountains and rivers of our Beiyang Dynasty, when the time comes, the country will be ruined, and countless people will become ghosts under the sword of the Western Zhou Dynasty. You are willing to become slaves of the country, endure the slavery of the Western Zhou Dynasty for life and life, your sons have been slaves for generations, and your daughters have been prostitutes for generations; you have nothing to support for the old and have nothing to rely on; villagers, when the enemy country comes to invade, you will do everything you can, please wipe your face and eyes, and distinguish between right and wrong. No one asks you to throw your head and spill your blood for the Beiyang Dynasty, but please don't become a stumbling block for the Beiyang Dynasty to resist the invading enemy; ”

An impassioned and incendiary remark made the rumors, which were originally not based on any facts, full of holes and vulnerable.

Beiyang and the Western Zhou Dynasty have been fighting for many years, but it is a feud, a national feud and a family hatred, which is the deep memory of many people in Qingtai County, and many people began to believe Han Shiqing's words.

There was still trouble, a few discordant voices, Han Shiqing's personal guards, immediately grabbed those people from the crowd.

Han Shiqing walked over, pulled out Shang Fang's sword, cut off the heads of three people with one sword, and faced everyone: "Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed without forgiveness, and those who spread rumors are guilty of the same crime, Shang Fang's sword, he has the right to cut first and then play, and those who are not afraid of death are willing to become lackeys and accomplices of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but they can stand up and let the officials take a look." ”

No one spoke again, and the noisy crowd began to retreat quietly.

Dong Xuesi was frightened, his head rolling on the ground, his eyes were open, and his head was separated, he had never seen such a tragic side in his life.

Han Shiqing collected his sword and returned home, and a personal guard came up and said: "My lord, this move is really admirable to his subordinates." ”

Han Shiqing didn't hear the sycophants.

The subordinate of the guard said interestingly: "My lord, a hundred years ago, there was an uncommendable catastrophe in Qingtai County, when 500,000 people died, and none of them were spared. My lord, if the events of the year are repeated a hundred years later, the 400,000 people in Qingtai County ......"

Han Shiqing glared at the man fiercely: "Do you think this official doesn't know? Do you think Your Majesty doesn't know that the Western Zhou Dynasty led 200,000 troops to invade our border, but it was a sound to attack the west, and the target was the Qixinglou in Qingtai County? But so what, Your Majesty Qixinglou is determined to win." The lives of 400,000 people can be completely sacrificed if necessary. The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty are currently in the city, and the 100,000 troops of General Song will arrive tomorrow morning, and the Western Zhou side has the ability to reach the sky, and their plan in Qingtai County is destined to be empty. ”

"There must be all preparations on the Western Zhou side, if they lead their troops to break through from the Qingzhou front line and enter Qingtai County, my lord, what should they do at that time?"

Han Shiqing stopped the book in his hand, raised his head suddenly, and said in a trance: "How? Tens of thousands of people on both sides, sit down to drink, eat, and call each other brothers?"

The guards were silent, and a cold breath instantly cooled all over the body.

......

In the northeast corner of Qingtai County Square, there is a pavilion that is some years old on the square where Xiaoliu's grandfather died.

Children who don't know how to count can count that it is seven floors, and the older local people can't tell when it was a pavilion.

Occupying a golden position, I don't know what it is used for, and it can still stand there, many locals are very puzzled, what do they want this dilapidated building to do there.

If you ask Dong Xuesi, the county magistrate who has been frightened these days and lives like a year, he will definitely say that this official wants to demolish it, and His Majesty has left a holy decree, and he is afraid that he will resist the decree if he is long?

In the afternoon, the sunshine in Qingtai County was not so vicious, Han Shiqing arranged all the affairs of the county government, and took the forty or fifty masters brought from the Beiyang Dynasty to the square where the Qixing Tower was located.

In the past few days, the people of Qingtai County have been panicking, and few brave people dare to come out and wander around the world, and the square is empty.

Han Shiqing and his entourage walked to the Seven Star Tower in the northeast corner, and looked up, there were seven floors, which looked quite high.

If you continue to look at it, you can't see the tricks, it's ordinary.

People passing by, nine times out of ten, will not take a second look, in disrepair, and there is no literati to write poems, let alone become a good story after tea and dinner, boring.

"My lord, do you want to go in and have a look?" asked Han Shiqing,

Before Han Shiqing could answer, Chu Yang was followed by Master Zuo Qingyang, as well as the formation of dozens of people, and walked from there.

Han Shiqing was not surprised, and Chu Yang on the opposite side was also not surprised to see this prince and concubine, and walked with a smile all the way: "Lord Han, it's been hard these days, isn't it tiring to look for us." When you're old, it's time for you to rest. ”

"Your Highness, don't come unharmed. Han Shiqing bowed politely.

This is a somewhat strange picture, the two countries are facing each other, the war has begun, a quasi-national teacher, and an heir of a country, each with their elite, greeting each other in Qingtai County.

Chu Yang also bowed his hand: "Lord Han, you are still so radiant." ”

Han Shiqing smiled indifferently: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, you are old." ”

Chu Yang retracted his polite gaze and glanced up at the Seven Star Tower: "Lord Han, you come first." ”

Han Shiqing bowed his hand and humbly conceded: "The person who comes is a guest, Your Highness, please." ”

"Then I might as well be respectful. Chu Yang jumped into the air, went up to the second floor of the Seven Star Tower, turned around and waved his hand down.

Han Shiqing smiled in return, but was speechless.

Chu Yang went from the second floor to the third floor, which was normal, but when he reached the fourth floor, he was sweating profusely. I can't hold it anymore.

Reluctantly continued to go up, halfway up the stairs from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, after all, he couldn't help it, jumped down from the upper floor, and returned to Master Zuo Qingyang's side, with an apologetic face.

"The old man will give it a try. Zuo Qingyang flew up, his strength was far above Chu Yang, and he went straight to the fifth floor, which was no big problem, but the sixth floor made this the same reaction as Chu Yang just now, and barely walked half of the stairs on the seventh floor, and had to retreat from the Seven Star Tower.

"The old Zuo seniors can't climb to the seventh floor, so they won't be ugly below. "Han Shiqing didn't succeed.

Suddenly, a voice came from the air: "What a word, a bunch of waste." "A man in black flew in the air and went straight to the sixth floor, but when he was still on the seventh floor, he was halfway through and defeated.

Before those people could see who the man in black was, a middle-aged man came from the other side with more than a dozen people: "It's really lively." ”

Everyone looked over there, but there was no response.

Cao Mu, the sect leader of the second-class sect Guiyuan Sect, many people still know him, and he also came.

What's even more lively is that two young people also came to the square, one of them is Li Xian, and the other is a young man about the same age as Li Xian after Tang Que changed his appearance.
