Chapter 604: Unscrupulous
"Hey, the people of this world are as weak as they imagined. At dawn the next day, the members of the Overwatch team returned from all directions.
In Xiangyang City, the Watchman team had already occupied a rather luxurious mansion at this time.
This mansion originally belonged to a Jiangnan martial arts hero named "Zhen Daguanren". This Zhen official is the chief dart head of the famous "Jiangnan Dart Bureau" in the south.
Zhen Daguan is not only famous in the Jiangnan martial arts, but also outstanding in strength. At the age of thirty, Zhen Daguan had already broken through to the realm of rebirth and became the top handful of masters in the world. At the same time, because Zhen Daguan is the head of the dart bureau, he has walked the rivers and lakes much more times than ordinary martial arts people.
Therefore, during the period from 30 to 35 years old, Zhen Daguan continued to follow the Jiangnan Dart Bureau's dart car to travel the world, expanding the business of the Jiangnan Dart Bureau to all parts of the world, and at the same time, he also continued to look for martial arts masters in the world to compete, and his strength continued to improve.
Today's Zhen Daguan is thirty-five years old, which is the peak period of his life. Among the Jiangnan martial arts, this Zhen official can be called a well-deserved top three.
It can even be said that except for the sect leader Fang La in the southeast, Zhen Daguan is not weaker than anyone in martial arts. Even if he is known as the second in the southern martial arts, the most between him and him is between him.
However, it is such a martial arts hero with amazing strength, but at this time, he has turned into a cold corpse lying on the ground. The mansion of Zhen Daguan has been occupied by the watchman team and turned into their temporary camp.
As for the family members and servants of Zhen Daguan, they had long been frightened by the killing of the watcher team last night, and they all fled in all directions. Of course, many of these servants must have gone to the state capital to report to the officials. But the Watchmen don't care about that at all. They didn't even put much effort into killing the ordinary servants - with the strength of the Watcher squad, not a single person in the courtyard could escape if they wanted to.
"This is a pioneering mission world that has just been upgraded from the non-commissioned officer quarter to the lieutenant officer quarter. It's normal that the strength is not strong. If the strength is really strong enough to make us all feel troublesome, then it is too abnormal. ”
Last night, in addition to the captain Fang Yue of the watchman team, Chu Wang, who was a think tank, had also stayed by Fang Yue's side all the time, and did not go out to fight with the martial arts masters of this world.
At this time, the members of the watchman team who went out to perform the mission yesterday returned one after another, and Chu Wang came out to ask everyone about the situation, and by the way, he completed the most basic intelligence collection and analysis of this world.
"Overall, the world is not much the same as we expected. It belongs to a world where the strength is only at the rank of non-commissioned officer. Perhaps because of the promotion to the lieutenant district, the strength of this world is currently showing a slight upward trend. According to those martial arts people, there were not many martial arts masters in the martial arts who could reach the level of low-level lieutenants, that is, the level of the so-called rebirth realm. The entire Song Dynasty added up to only twenty or thirty people. But now it seems that the difficulty of most people to improve their strength has been reduced. In the entire martial arts, the number of people who can reach the level of the rebirth realm should have doubled, and there are almost forty or fifty people. ”
"Hey...... With this level of goods, let alone forty or fifty people, what can be done even if it is four or five thousand?" The watchman who had just come back laughed and said to Chu Wang disapprovingly.
"Of course, it is impossible for them to interfere with our mission. So what I've just said is just an analysis based on the information we have so far. Chu Wang tugged at his hair lightly and continued to say to Fang Yue and the team member, "What we need to do in this world is not just fighting our old rivals, the Dune Squad. More importantly, it is necessary to complete the task of having no space. ”
"Hey...... This empty space to explain the task is really unclear. What is it to explore the secrets of the world? What kind of mission is this?"
"I've seen the quest to explore the secrets of the world. This is not the first time that Empty Space has given a similar task. In the past, in some exploration missions, and even some story missions, there has been a record of giving similar tasks to the empty space. Generally speaking, most of this situation is due to the existence of some special characters or props in the world, so that there is no space to complete the collection of legends through ordinary means. Therefore, when there is no space, it is necessary to eliminate interference. The task of the Samsara squad that gets the task is to find the source of the interference and mark it. Then the empty space itself will figure out how to remove the distraction. ”
"Hmm...... Chu Wang, what do you think is the secret of this world, which can interfere with the empty space?"
"I don't know. But as long as we continue to investigate deeply, the power of this world that can interfere with the void space will definitely appear in front of us. ”
"Okay. We listen to you. The martial arts characters around here have almost been killed by us. What are we going to do next?"
And so on. Chu Wang smiled and said categorically, "Next, we will wait for the government to encircle and suppress us." Then kill them all. As I said earlier, there are two possibilities for the mission of this world. The first possibility is that it is secretly in the hands of these martial arts people. The second possibility is that the secret is in the hands of the government. So we're going to do both. Dealing with martial arts people is one thing, and dealing with the government is another. ”
"No problem. Several members of the Watchman team licked their lips, all of them nonchalant.
The prefect in Xiangyang City has become more and more troubled.
Originally, the prefect thought that the new group of people who came this time were just some people from the rivers and lakes. The fight between them and the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, he didn't need to ask at all. No matter what the other party kills, he doesn't care about it anyway, just pretend not to see it. Anyway, even the princes of the capital will not be too harsh on him in this regard.
These people in the rivers and lakes rely on their high strength and often despise the imperial court, and the princes of the capital have long looked at these guys unpleasantly. They themselves are killing each other, and they can't be happy as civil officials, so how can they still reach out to take care of this matter? At most, after all these killings are over, they pretend to investigate, and then come up with a sea fishing document that will not catch anyone at all!
Over the years, the prefect of Xiangyang has always used this method to deal with similar incidents. However, this time, the ostrich of the Xiangyang prefect couldn't hold it anymore.
Because the "martial arts people" who appeared this time were really a little too much! In just one night, they had killed more than 100 people inside and outside Xiangyang City!
Although the vast majority of these 100 people are well-known martial arts people in the vicinity of Xiangyang, many of them are servants of these martial arts people or even family members! This is already beyond the scope of "vendetta in the rivers and lakes" and has reached the point where the prefect of Xiangyang cannot help but come forward.
Secondly, this group of people came too arrogantly. They also killed too many people. No matter how frightened the Xiangyang prefect was, when dozens of crying middle-aged women appeared in front of him, and everyone cried to him about the death of their husbands and sons, it was impossible for him to stand idly by no matter what.
However, the prefect of Xiangyang knew that he didn't have the ability to fight that group of people at all. So while he promised to help those heroes get justice, he wrote a letter overnight and sent it to the capital. It is necessary to invite the officials to send a large army to clear the thieves.
In the emergency document, in order to show the state of affairs, the Xiangyang prefect did not hesitate to exaggerate the number of thieves by a hundredfold! The "thieves," who originally had only eight people, have already turned into hundreds in the mouth of the Xiangyang prefect.
Moreover, this group of people are all strong in martial arts, robbing houses inside and outside Xiangyang City, killing innocents indiscriminately, and asking the imperial court to send troops and masters to clear up this group of lawless thieves.
In this world of prosperous martial arts, the emergency documents of the Xiangyang prefect are much faster than the world in the original work of "Water Margin". In the original work of the Water Margin, even if the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong used the Jiama spell, he could only walk 800 miles a day. And in this world mixed with martial arts, it only took a day and a half for the martial arts masters sent by the Xiangyang prefect to rush to Bianliang City in Tokyo.
Soon, the important ministers of the court in Bianliang City learned that a large number of thieves had suddenly appeared in Xiangyang City.
At first, this news did not attract much attention—after all, at this time, the attention of the princes of the imperial court was still on He Zhi's upcoming sermon. Who cares about this kind of thing? The Great Song Dynasty is so big, when will there be no thieves in the world? If you don't see the thieves on Liangshanbo, they are all about to become a nest!
As for the robbery, this kind of thing is even more ordinary. Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City...... In this world, it's not you who are thieves in Xiangyang, aren't the thieves in Liangshanbo the same as robbing homes everywhere and killing innocents?
There is also the Daimyo's Mansion, which has just been troubled by the Liangshanbo thieves, and there is actually another group of thieves attacking the state and county. It is said that even Taishi Cai's son-in-law Liang Zhongshu was caught! But don't you see that Taishi Cai is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai without even frowning?
The messenger who had come to deliver the news had received a cold reception in the capital, and he himself knew what was going on. However, the prefect of Xiangyang made up his mind this time. Therefore, when he left, he had already explained to the messenger that he must not go back empty-handed.
Therefore, after the messenger was stunned, he did not rush to leave the capital. Instead, he desperately made money, wanting to invite a support army through the door of Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei.
Accepting bribes is something that Gao Yu and Mrs. Gao have always been good at. Moreover, what the messenger entrusted him to do was reasonable and legitimate, so Gao Taiwei took the messenger's money and asked the messenger to go back and wait.
Subsequently, Gao Taiwei entered the palace overnight and asked to see Emperor Huizong.
Since cultivating the "Heavenly Technique" taught by He Zhi, Emperor Huizong's spirit is getting better day by day. Even at night, Emperor Huizong was still meditating and practicing, without the slightest intention of falling asleep. As Emperor Huizong's close retainer, Gao Taiwei is naturally familiar with Emperor Huizong's recent changes. So when he entered the palace late at night, he was not afraid of disturbing the emperor's sleep and making the emperor unhappy.
Sure enough, not long after Gao Taiwei waited at the palace gate, a father-in-law came out to welcome Gao Taiwei in.
"Grandpa Guo, how is the official family feeling today?" On the way to enter the palace with that Grandpa Guo, Captain Gao handed over a silver ingot with a smile and asked in a low voice.
"Captain Gao is polite. You know, the official family has been in a good mood when they saw the return of the national teacher today. It's the same today. Moreover, today, the official family also specially invited the national teacher into the palace to discuss the matter of tomorrow's preaching event. Guo Gonggong accepted the silver ingot and said to Gao Yu with a smile on his face.
"Oh, that's good. That's good. When Gao Taiwei heard this, he was already sure in his heart. What kind of character Emperor Huizong is, Gao Taiwei really knows too well. As long as Emperor Huizong himself is in a good mood, then he can say anything on his side. Especially for officials like Gao Taiwei, who still have some old feelings, Emperor Huizong often plays inaccurately.
Sure enough, not long after, Gao Taiwei met this great Song official with a happy face in the study of Emperor Huizong.
"Gao Aiqing, why do you still want to enter the palace to see me late at night today? Could it be that Aiqing has received some urgent report?" Emperor Huizong was in a good mood at this time, and he was also relaxed when he spoke to Gao Yu.
"Exactly!" Gao Yu put on a serious look at this time, and took out the Xiangyang messenger's recital from his sleeve, "Your Majesty Mingjian, this is an urgent report from Xiangyang and the Daimyo Mansion. Thieves suddenly rebelled near Yangyang and the Daimyo's Mansion. The prefects of the two places were unable to clear the money and asked the imperial court to send a large army to rescue. ”
"Hmm, why are there thieves making trouble again? Didn't Aiqing lead the army to pacify that Liangshanbo a while ago?" Emperor Huizong heard this, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared for the most part.
"Yes...... The thieves in Liangshan have been broken by me, and now they are hiding in Liangshan and dare not come out. It's just that the terrain of Liangshanbo is treacherous, and it is inconvenient to enter and suppress...... That's why they can survive. As for Xiangyang and the Daimyo's Mansion, there are new thieves. Moreover, these two groups of thieves are extremely vicious, and they are even more vicious than the Liangshan bandits. Gao Taiwei hurriedly bowed to the ground and raised the piece in his hand above his head.
"Hmph......" Emperor Huizong snorted coldly and took the chapter angrily. He glanced at the recital, and then suddenly remembered something, and handed the recital to He Zhi behind him, "Uncle Shi, you can also come and see this recital." ”
