No one thought that this Xiaoyi in front of Kong Rui was actually the supreme commander of the Second War Zone of the Occupation Army stationed in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Kong Rui naturally didn't know if this person was Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi or what, and he didn't know that the supreme commander of the second theater of the occupation army stationed in the Great Yan Kingdom was called Xiaoyi.

It turned out that this Xiaoyi learned that the demon cultivators in Shancha Prefecture suffered huge casualties, so he personally rushed to supervise the battle, and he arrived at Mianyuan City one day earlier, discussed the next battle plan with Liu Sheng, and waited for the return of the spies lurking in the Shancha army. Xiaoyi is busy with military affairs on weekdays, and there is nothing specific to do in Mianyuan City this time, so after the matter is done, he thought of coming out to learn about some local customs and the thoughts of ordinary people.

Xiaoyi was born into a noble family of the Yan Kingdom, received a good education since he was a child, and was also fascinated by the culture of the Tang Dynasty in the Great Yan Kingdom; moreover, he was also born in the military department, and he was also stationed overseas for many years, so he was well-informed and experienced.

This invasion of the Great Yan Country, every place he went, Xiaoyi wanted to understand the local customs and the thoughts of ordinary people, so as to prepare for his military offensive and long-term occupation in the future, but unfortunately he was usually very busy, and this time he had half an afternoon for him to come out to visit, that is, this afternoon, when he walked by the street with two entourage, he heard that the drama of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was being staged in this teahouse, Xiaoyi also knew some about the music of the Tang Dynasty, so he also wanted to go to this teahouse to see, and by the way, he also learned about the thoughts of some local ordinary people。

Xiaoyi has a respected status wherever he goes, even if he goes to the play, he sits in the best seat, so he naturally walked to the table where Kong Rui was, and happened to hear the old Wang Tou telling Kong Rui about Yang Yuhuan, so he took it by the way, but he didn't expect Kong Rui to agree with his statement very much, and also invited him to take a seat, Xiaoyi sat down by the way and talked with Kong Rui.

Xiao Yi naturally didn't reveal that he was a scheming, so he said to Kong Rui: "I think you still recognize the sentence 'Only virtuous people live in the world', Brother Kong." ”

This phrase comes from the ancient "Tao Te Ching", although it has evolved several times, but its meaning is widely spread, Kong Rui naturally knows, and immediately nodded and said: "The kid does think that there is some truth in this statement." ”

Xiaoyi asked tentatively: "If the current court is incompetent and the people are unsafe, what will Brother Kong do?"

Kong Rui thought about it and didn't know how to answer, so he said vaguely: "The kid doesn't know much about state affairs, but he does recognize the phrase 'only the virtuous live in the world'." ”

Xiaoyi and Kong Rui continued to chat, Xiaoyi wanted to understand the thoughts of the people here, and there were some temptations about state affairs in the conversation, but Kong Rui did not understand much about traditional thought, and was influenced by Liu Baisheng and Zheng Ping, so he had some deviant ideas, and naturally revealed some extremely positive and forward-looking thoughts.

Xiaoyi didn't know that ranking in such an extremely low-end theater would cost a lot of money, thinking that all the people present were low-level people, and seeing that Kong Rui was dressed ordinarily and talked so extraordinary, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and thought: "If you wait until this generation of young people in the Great Yan Country grow up, I will never be the opponent of the Great Yan Country." At the moment, he asked Kong Rui: "What does Brother Kong think of the current imperial court?"

Because the other party was also a national of the Great Yan Country, Kong Rui said: "At present, the people of the Yan Dynasty have invaded my Great Yan Country, and since we should resist and drive out the people of the Yan Country, we will talk about the affairs of the imperial court later." ”

The faces of the two entourages behind Xiaoyi changed, and they quickly calmed down, Xiaoyi snorted and said, "Doesn't my brother still recognize the sentence 'only virtuous people live in the world'?"

"The world of my Great Yan Country is naturally inhabited by the virtuous people of my Great Yan Country, and after all, the people are outsiders; Kong Ruiyi said righteously.

As soon as Xiaoyi heard Kong Rui say this, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he got up and said goodbye: "My brother has extraordinary knowledge, and I hope he will meet again one day." The old man still has some things, so he will leave first. ”

Kong Rui saw that the other party's elder was not easy to keep, so he said, "Uncle Xiao, please take care of yourself." Xiaoyi didn't say anything, and went out directly.

Seeing that Xiaoyi and Lao Wangtou were both talking about current affairs, and there were some things that sounded rebellious, the old Wang Tou was afraid in his heart, so he hid to the side early; Kong Rui saw that Xiaoyi and Lao Wang Tou were gone, and he stayed here for half an afternoon but did not find any news, so he had to go back to the inn to recuperate and prepare to start at night.

When Xiaoyi returned to his residence, he was also thinking about the content of his conversation with Kong Rui, thinking that this Great Yan Country was vast and densely populated, and if all the young people were like Kong Rui, it would only be a matter of time before the country failed. Of course, as a soldier, Xiaoyi can't have such thoughts, he can only think about how to defeat his opponent, but he was also somewhat stimulated, and secretly felt that the Great Yan Country was definitely not so easy to conquer.

In the evening, Liu Sheng finally received a report from the spies lurking in the Shancha army, saying that the twenty or so Demon Cultivators who had died in battle seemed to have been killed by one person one after another, which meant that in some battles, this person was able to deal with six Late Demon Cultivators at the same time, which was simply impossible.

Liu Sheng was also taken aback when he heard such a report, but they all thought that the spies lurking in the Shancha army were only peripheral personnel, and they did not directly see the process of the two sides fighting, and the armies on both sides had the habit of exaggerating the results of the battle. Although Yanagi was suspicious of this, he still truthfully reported this information to Shinoyoshi.

Xiao Yi listened to these reports, and his heart was not calm, he was born in the aristocracy, and he still knew a little about the situation of these cultivation sects such as Evil Confucianism and Taoism, and he also knew that under normal circumstances, it was difficult for masters above the spirit master to intervene in the battles of ordinary people, so he decided that the opponent who killed these more than twenty demon cultivators should be a group of spirit disciples, not one person, and after telling Liu Sheng his thoughts, he let Liu Sheng go back first, and then he himself thought about how to deal with it.

As soon as Xiao Yi thought that the power of the Great Yan Country's sect was so strong, and if there were more spirit disciples like this group of people in the Great Yan Country once they lost the restraint of the sect and killed ordinary people at will like their demon cultivators, then the loss of the Qi Xuan army would be something he could not bear;

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi immediately ordered his subordinates to send a message to the evil Confucian Dao, asking them to send someone to help, but he shouted twice but did not hear a response, Xiao Yi Zheng felt strange, suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a person walked in with a sword in his hand. I saw that the person who came was wearing a black robe, masked with a black cloth, only showing two eyes, and holding a long sword in his right hand, standing there coldly.

After all, Xiaoyi was a military attaché, and he had seen countless killing scenes, although he knew that this person was not good, but he was not alarmed, of course, he also knew that since this person could directly enter his room in the heavily guarded official residence, he naturally had extraordinary skills, and it was futile to resist, so he simply gave up resistance and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

It turned out that the person who came was Kong Rui, and he took advantage of the darkness to ambush in front of Liu Sheng's prefect's headquarters, but he saw Liu Sheng hurriedly walking out, so he followed him all the way to here;

At that moment, Kong Rui hid his figure and quietly sneaked into the official residence. The people never thought that someone in this Mianyuan City would dare to sneak into such a place, and the two demon cultivators who escorted Xiaoyi were not on duty; ordinary soldiers were nothing in Kong Rui's eyes, and Kong Rui easily walked all the way into Xiaoyi's room.
