Chapter Fifty-Three
In half a year, Yang Tian can be said to have endured a hellish ordeal. Long Feng desperately urged him to refine the 'Heavenly Demon Qi' in his body, and he also had to manage the affairs of the Guards Regiment, and occasionally had to clean up the mess for his members, so busy that he didn't even have time to find the little girl happy.
After the admonition of the magnates of the Holy Capital City intentionally or unintentionally, the behavior of the sons and daughters of the Guards Regiment has been greatly restrained, at least the blatant violations of the law and taboos in the downtown have basically disappeared, at most, it is a crowd of gambling, cockfighting, and dog racing behind the scenes, and there is just a chicken and dog jumping in the nest.
After half a year of careful training, the 9,872 members of the Guards Regiment have made great progress in their own martial arts cultivation, because Yang Tian directly linked their martial arts test to their salary, and intentionally or unintentionally sued a few disobedient people in front of Emperor Tianyou, and the result was that all of them worked hard to practice martial arts, and did not dare to show slack energy. Although their martial arts are still far from those of real Jianghu people, they can still deal with more than ten or twenty strong men as long as their thighs are not weakened by certain things. And adhering to the glorious tradition of the first group members, each of them can be regarded as a master of escape kung fu.
Looking at the light smoke under the feet of the members of the regiment chasing and fighting in the school field, Yang Tian turned around proudly and said: "See, our results are still good, if the brothers go to the battlefield, at least they can come and go freely, and they don't have to be afraid of being surrounded." ”
Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui nodded again and again. After Yang Tian's coordination, the two old enemies are all like-minded and virtuous, and they are now very good friends, so naturally a group of their friends have also hooked up. Their fathers and ancestors fought to the death in the imperial court, but they had already achieved the situation of the great alliance in advance, which shows that the future of the Celestial Empire is still bright, hopeful and energetic.
Lin Yiyun smiled evilly and came up with an idea: "Boss, tonight, Qiong Feixue's girl's brother will have a banquet for the officials of Shengjing, and the day after tomorrow he will leave Shengjing and go back to be his local magistrate." Qiong Feixue, the girl of the Qiong family, looks really speechless, and her heart itches when she sees it...... If your boss is interested, he can also go to the gang. Even if you're not interested in that girl, you can make friends with the boss of the Joan family. ”
Yang Tian licked his lips, so he said helplessly: "No way, what is the status of the people, they invite some bigwigs who are at least three levels higher than our official rank, and I can't enter the door at all...... I can't help it."
Jiang Chunshui hurriedly came over and said, "It's true, Feixue's girl, she has a good time with a few of our sisters, but she just ignores us lightly." Originally, the people of their 'Zijin Gong' Mansion, we can't afford to climb high, but what, this girl...... If anyone can be her husband, he will definitely be on the rise. If she can get in touch with her brother, there will be a lot of benefits in the future. ”
Yang Tian's heart moved, and he made a gesture gently.
Long Feng said coldly beside him: "This, our Highness wants to go." As you know, it is impossible for their family to invite our Highness. Aren't you, huh...... Of course, I won't treat you badly, the three-trick killer of the 'Nine Soul Destroyers' - very powerful, how about changing your whole set of services for our Highness to go in and have a good time?"
Several people laughed, Zeng Guoxuan quickly took out a gold-wrapped post from his body, and said with a smile: "This is a decision, Master Long, we are not too greedy, but, haha, it seems that you have been teaching us, if there are not enough benefits, you can't contribute to others in vain, right? This post is for my father, so I will take it." Hehe, hey, he wouldn't have gone there anyway, so we'll just use it. ”
Jiang Chunshui hurriedly added: "A few of our sisters will also follow together, and when the time comes, Qiong Feixue will call out, so that the boss will have a chance to talk a few words." But, Dragon Mage, those first three moves...... Teach us earlier. ”
Long Feng smiled: "Don't worry, no problem." He smiled secretly in his heart, since he had chosen a few sets of messy martial arts and handed them over to Jiang Chunshui and them, the few people who had tasted the sweetness were now looking for opportunities to pester him for fresh moves all day long. It's okay that it doesn't cost too much, but you can also get a lot of extra convenience. It's like this time, if Yang Tian wants to find a way to attend this banquet by himself, it is simply impossible. If you don't follow Jiang Chunshui and his group to get in, the 'Zijin Gong' is the descendant of the founding father of the Celestial Empire, who would have looked down on the prince of a small western vassal country? Let alone send him an invitation.

At night, Qiong Daotian, that is, Qiong Feixue's elder brother, gathered at the gate of Shengjing's temporary residence, and one by one the high-ranking officials of the imperial court in high-crowned and magnificent costumes got out of the carriage, and said a few polite words to Qiong Daotian, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, and strolled in.
Yang Tian and a group of hundreds of people, each carrying invitations from different sources, Shi Shiran mixed in. Qiong Daotian didn't pay attention to this group of boys at all, he could clearly tell if a court magnate had a small chickenpox on his face, but he didn't need or deserve to pay attention to this group of little people who were still powerless, no matter how powerful their family was.
According to the agreed conditions, Jiang Chunshui and a few little girls in his group pulled Qiong Feixue into the back garden and walked along the stream. Suddenly, many young people came over and started to build stubble with various excuses.
Zeng Guoxuan scolded viciously in a low voice: "Fuck, where did these bastards come from, don't you know that the boss of Shengjing is next to ......them? Where's it? I've seen a few of them, but I forgot what they did. ”
Jiang Chunshui frowned: "They, they don't have much contact with us, but we don't want to offend them." ”
Yang Tian stretched out his hand and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Come on, although the beauty is important, but I also saw it when I played together, and if I saw it, forget it." Since the beauty has no chance, can you let me personally give the gift to Qiong Daotian?"
Jiang Chunshui agreed: "This, although they have a high threshold, they also want to give my father a little face, I will go over to see if Qiong Daotian is free, and call him over to meet the boss." ”
Jiang Chunshui went over to the event, Zeng Guoxuan and the others laughed a few times, blended into the crowd, and started their necessary social activities.
Yang Tian complained to Long Feng in a low voice: "I really don't know if it's worth putting all my energy into this guard regiment, if there is half a year for me to chase Qiong Feixue, it is estimated that I am pregnant with my child now." Even if you give me three months to make friends with Qiong Daotian, you can now be called a brother. ”
Long Feng whispered to him, "Unless you kill Qiong Feixue's brother and then marry Qiong Feixue, it is impossible for you to use the power of the 'Zijin Duke' and their family. The most reliable strength in the world is still your own strength, don't be greedy for the help of others...... I knew that your kid was interested in that girl, so I forced you to practice hard for half a year...... If the anger is too great, find a chick to vent yourself, but don't use your brains on these women who are difficult to control. ”
Yang Tian nodded dejectedly, stared at Qiong Feixue's towering chest in the distance, whistled softly, and turned back to look for Jiang Chunshui to see how he was doing.
Jiang Chunshui was saying something in front of Qiong Daotian very politely, Qiong Daotian kept smiling and nodding, his eyes glanced at this side like electricity, swept past Yang Tian, but stared at Long Feng fiercely. Long Feng glared back unceremoniously. Qiong Daotian's eyes stinged, his curiosity about Long Feng increased, and he followed Jiang Chunshui with a graceful demeanor, and from a distance he gave an unusually enthusiastic gesture.
Yang Tian smiled secretly in his heart, he and Long Feng and Genu had formed some tacit understanding, Long Feng and Genu tried their best to keep their breath in front of people at an amazing but not scary level, while Yang Tian was trying to restrain his aura as much as possible, deliberately letting everyone ignore themselves.
Qiong Daotian's generous and gentle voice came: "Lord Yang, it's really rude, I was too busy just now and didn't notice when you came over, I'm really sorry." He said sorry in his mouth, but there was no Yang Tian's presence in his eyes, and all his attention was on Long Feng's body, constantly estimating the weight of Long Feng in his heart. Unlike his sister who has no power to restrain the chicken, Qiong Daotian's martial arts cultivation is amazing, and he is confident that he can rank in the top 100 in the world. But the power shown by Long Feng is still above Qiong Daotian, and he can't help but make Qiong Daotian curious.
Long Feng smiled silently, and gently bowed back to Qiong Daotian.
Yang Tian took out a small box from his arms, handed it to Qiong Daotian, and said with a little low voice: "Lord Qiong, this, a small border country in Saint-Dore, there is nothing good, it means, it means. After that, I hope that Lord Qiong will take more care of you. ”
Qiong Daotian smiled, generously took the box and said, "Lord Yang is polite, I can't say anything about it." As long as we devote ourselves to the country and we are ministers in the same palace, where can we talk about any care?" he handed over the box to the entourage behind him, and was ready to leave after a few polite words. A small commander like Yang Tian, there were as many as thirty in the army directly under him, and Qiong Daotian was not willing to waste time. If it weren't for Jiang Chunshui's old father to save face, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to Yang Tian at all.
Long Feng laughed and said with a grin: "Lord Qiong, that short sword is made of the best black crystal, and there are thirteen high-level spells attached to it, how powerful is it...... I am confident that there is no second weapon in the world that can be compared. ”
Qiong Daotian took a light breath, he naturally knew that certain spells could be attached to weapons to increase their power. The magic of the Western Continent, or the Buddhism and Taoism of the Celestial Empire, both have such spells. He reached out and snatched the box in his entourage's hand, revealing that inside was a strange short sword that was pitch black and transparent, only more than a foot long, and inside the sword body, a red air flow was flowing wantonly and insolently.
Qiong Daotian laughed sincerely, he could naturally tell the value of this sword, nodded heavily, didn't say anything, signaled to Yang Tian, turned around and left.
Jiang Chunshui had already slipped away and joined a bunch of aristocratic ladies. Yang Tian saw that there was no one around, and immediately laughed and scolded: "You can be a weaponry master and eat later...... A short sword made in half an hour, someone actually regarded it as a treasure. ”
Long Feng said proudly: "After passing through my hands, it has already become a treasure...... However, if you don't want to get into trouble, it's best not to tell people that I made it. ”
Yang Tian laughed: "I care...... However, what do you think he will do us? He is also a martial artist, right? Such a short sword will be of great use to him. ”
Long Feng gently flicked his slender fingers and said slowly, "Then it depends on how he decides...... Well, the girl from the Qiong family is here, don't you go up and talk about it? If you eat other people's tofu, I won't object to it, as long as you don't fake it. ”
Yang Tian jumped up, quickly sorted out the service on his body, took out a handful of pearls from his arms, and rushed over......
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the blink of an eye, it was half a year, and it was a while before Qiong Daotian said goodbye and left Beijing.
Yang Tian sat sullenly in the flower hall of his mansion and nibbled on frozen sweet pears, while Long Feng was busy instructing Genu to put hundreds of catties of freshly bought fruits into the water tank, and then he released cold air to enclose the entire water tank with thick ice cubes.
Yang Tian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Qiong Dao God, don't let Lao Tzu marry your sister, otherwise because you took something and didn't do anything this time, Lao Tzu will also abuse your nephew." ”
Feng Ling'er lazily walked out of the back hall: "What is the nephew? His sister is that Qiong Feixue, right? But why does his sister have a relationship with his nephew?"
Long Feng quacked and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter at all, your eldest sister doesn't have to worry about it, Chunshui's sister invites you to go shopping together, do you want to go......?" It's summer, so come back with more nice clothes. ”
Feng Ling'er immediately rushed out.
Yang Tian sighed and said, "How long will it take for me to have her strength?"
Long Feng said simply: "If you cultivate by yourself, it will take at least a trillion years, but you have my help, and you are cultivating the 'Heavenly Demon Technique' that is a million times stronger than her, so a small amount of time is enough." ”
When he was talking nonsense, a little eunuch rushed in with a bluff: "Commander Yang, Commander Yang...... Eh, we're tired of it...... Your Majesty is anxious to announce your entry into the palace. ”
Yang Tian quickly took out a handful of silver tickets and stuffed them into the arms of the little eunuch: "Xiaguan knows...... I don't know who my father-in-law is...... It's rare. ”
The little eunuch roughly estimated the value of the silver ticket, and immediately had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Our family's surname is Zhu, and we are the recently elected Xuanli steward, and I will need Commander Yang to take care of it in the future." ”
Yang Tian handed over a large amount of silver ticket again, and said with a smile: "I see...... The father-in-law said that it was not good, that is, the head of the Xuanli after the future, and he had to take more care of the lower officials. ”
The little eunuch looked at the silver ticket in his hand and squinted his eyes with a smile, thinking in his heart: "Sure enough, it's better to raise the gift, just after taking office, this cost will all be back." ”
Long Feng wasted no time in asking the reason for the summons of Emperor Tianyou: "There are bandits in the field, and the local army doesn't know why, so they didn't set off on the expedition and reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is going to let the people of the Guards Regiment go through the battlefield." ”
Yang Tian nodded and said, "Banditry, it won't be in the territory of the 'Zijin Duke', right?"
The little eunuch looked at Yang Tian in surprise: "How do you know? We heard that it was the 'Zijin Duke' who suddenly had a bandit in their territory, and the 'Zijin Duke' Mansion was probably unwilling to use its own army to crusade, so it went to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send troops to help solve them." ”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When he saw Emperor Tianyou, Emperor Tianyou was walking around in his imperial study with an angry face. Seeing that the little eunuch had brought Yang Tian and the others in, he immediately threw a post marked with 100,000 urgency in his hand to Yang Tian, and said angrily: "These damn pariahs actually made a mess for me at this time...... When the world is peaceful, why do they have to be bandits?"
Yang Tian picked up the post, didn't read it, and asked Emperor Tianyou directly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the 'Zijin Duke' Mansion is unwilling to send its own private army to conquer, but the minister really doesn't know why." A group of bandits, only 10,000 people, if the garrison in the territory of the 'Zijin Duke' is dispatched, it will be like the sun turning snow, and those bandits will not be pacified immediately?"
Emperor Tianyou opened his mouth and did not speak. After a long time, he slowly walked in front of Yang Tian, waved away the little eunuch, and said in a low voice: "I am mobilizing troops, accumulating new firearms, and preparing to go to the Black Cloud Empire...... the private army in the 'Zijin Duke' and their territory, but the most elite army of the Celestial Empire, can I let them go out to conquer the bandits at this time......?"
Yang Tian's heart jumped a few times, and he set out to fight the Black Cloud Empire...... He pretended to have a look of sudden realization on his face, nodded again and again, and said, "Your Majesty has a vision, and the minister sighs to himself...... But this time, I asked my ministers to come over, didn't I want the Guards to go and conquer those bandits?"
Emperor Tianyou nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I mean. Originally, I was going to let a strong army of the Guards go, but the grandson of the contemporary 'Zijin Gong', Qiong Dao Tianqiong Houye, promoted you on the post...... said that he was familiar with you at first sight, and he knew that there were many capable people around you...... The worshippers of the worship hall also said that the members of the Guards Regiment can now come in handy, and I really want to see if you can deal with this group of bandits. If you can easily clean them up, I will give you a more important task later. If it doesn't work, I'll tell the truth, and you sons and daughters will stay in Shengjing honestly. ”
Yang Tianhe, Long Feng, and Genu fell to their knees: "The ministers must live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”
When he walked out of the imperial study, Emperor Tianyou seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, let's find out why there are bandits at this time...... Your subordinates are all children of court officials, and you don't have to be afraid of offending anyone, aren't you......?"
Walking out of the hundred zhang away, Yang Tiancai complained in a low voice: "This emperor Lao'er has already been calculated. Do you want me to offend people......"
Long Feng didn't react, and pondered for a long time before saying: "I don't know where the military factories of the Celestial Empire are, so we are preparing for an expedition with such fanfare, but we have no news at all, and there is no abnormality in the movement of troops near Shengjing, which shows that their plan is very tight." ”
Gnu opened his mouth wide and said murderously: "Crusade against the Black Cloud Empire? Gnu likes it, Gnu wants to hack down more pieces of the Black Cloud Empire." ”
Long Feng flicked his fingers lightly and said leisurely, "If we want to participate in the crusade army, this first step must be more beautiful. Don't say that you can make things clear, but you can't make a fool of yourself, right? As long as things are done so-so, the group of sons and brothers under your command will blow the wind and say that they want to make some military achievements to ensure that the Guards Regiment can go to the other side of the sea. ”
Yang Tian kept nodding yes, and began to think about how to deal with those bandits.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In a sense, the Holy Dragon Guards are the highest-level army in the Celestial Empire. The lowest-ranking member of the regiment also has the identity of a leading captain and a three-rank internal guard. According to common sense, such an organization was originally a royal bodyguard group, but since it is impossible to dispatch large-scale formal troops now, plus with Qiong Daotian's protection, it is logical for them to go out to deal with some small rogues and accumulate some military merits, and the relatives of the members are also happy to see such things. Can some bandits with kitchen knives and hoes be the opponents of such an army of 'elite' and 'proud' disciples cultivated in the worship hall?
Nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-four white horses, each member of the regiment is embroidered brocade robes, and a small package hangs behind the horse, which is the uniform fish scale armor of the Guards Regiment, and the waist is worn by the best swords inlaid with gold and jade, even if it cannot be cut iron like mud, at least it can cut wood like tofu. In addition, the horses are like dragons, and all of them are handsome men, and such a team passed through the city from the gate of the palace, which caused a sensation. Those court officials all had a big heart, and felt that this grandson or son or nephew really had a chance. The girls on both sides of the avenue secretly pointed and pointed, and their hearts rippled one by one.
Yang Tian carried the holy decree of sending troops in his arms, with a secret decree that could be used to investigate the roots of the bandits, and he was very comfortable in his heart. Long Feng held an emerald jade in his hand and kept playing with it. Gnu worked hardest, and the two extra horses were the ones who carried his armor, and he had to take care of them carefully along the way. Feng Ling'er sat on the horse in a daze with nothing to do, her head was still like paste, and she didn't understand what she had wasted so much time on Long Feng and what she was going to do in the future. After all, her head hadn't been used for a long time, and it was a bit confusing to think about it a little now.
Traveling 1,200 miles north from the Shengjing City, a vast basin surrounded by mountains is the fief of the 'Zijin Gong'. There are 12 Xiongcheng in the basin, with a population of more than 50 million and a private army of more than 500,000 people, making it the most powerful of all the founding fathers of the Celestial Empire.
According to a governor of the Qiong family's private army, who accompanied the army, those bandits were about 10,000 people, not local residents of the basin, and they did not know where they came into the basin two months ago, which brought great uneasiness to the local people. They have no fixed abode, and they have always plundered and left, but they rarely hurt the people.
Long Feng suddenly sent a message to Yang Tian and said: "This is a typical chaotic people, the combat effectiveness is estimated to be no, the Qiong family kid has sent you a great credit, remember to thank the people well." ”
Yang Tian nodded lightly and agreed.
There was constant laughter and whistling in the queue, and the group of sons and brothers had always only been at ease near the Holy Capital, where had they seen the scenery of the Celestial Empire hundreds of miles away from the capital, and they were constantly bluffing loudly at the scenery that passed by, and the people said that they were used to it.
There was nothing to say all the way, except for Yang Tian's purse being a little fuller, Jiang Chunshui and Zeng Guoxuan's pockets also began to bulge, after all, they are all people who are close to the most powerful people today, and the local officials can't help but be a little more meaningful, a little bit of filial piety, and the hope of their own promotion will be so much greater. To tell the truth, they passed through more than 20 prefectures and counties along the way, and Yang Tian really didn't take many bribes, and the gold tickets that Yang Tian collected were only more than 1.5 million taels, which was less than Jiang Chunshui's. However, Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui were also very interesting, and took out a lot of their share to make up for the difference in Yang Tian's price. As for the jewels given to them or something, the filial piety of May Day was given to Feng Ling'er. It may be the instinct of an intelligent creature, when the two of them faced Feng Ling'er, they felt that they couldn't breathe well, their vests were cold, and their hairs stood on end, especially when they heard that Feng Ling'er destroyed a building with one punch on the first day he entered the Holy Capital, so they naturally had to take a good stutter.
However, Yang Tian said behind his back with great pity: "A female ghost is still so greedy for money, I really don't know what she is thinking." Long Feng understands a little, just like dragons like to collect treasures for no reason, Feng Ling'er also likes to collect these shiny things.
Although a lot of time was wasted on the feast, I still arrived at the destination in the early tens. 'Golden Wind City', the gateway to the basin from the central plain where the Holy Capital is located, Qiong Daotian led a group of good hands to greet him at the city gate.
Qiong Daotian greeted Yang Tian with a smile: "Lord Yang, thank you for the sword last time." ”
Yang Tian haha: "Be polite, polite, it's good if Qiong Houye likes it." This time, I really thank Hou Ye for promoting us to suppress the bandits, this is a chance to make a meritorious contribution to us. ”
Qiong Daotian was very happy in his heart, since he had the short sword built by Long Feng himself, he had challenged twenty famous masters in the rivers and lakes in a row, and without exception he was knocked down by the strange power emitted by his sword, so he reciprocated the favor and gave Yang Tian such a chance to basically make credit for nothing.
Qiong Daotian set up a flowing water mat in the post station of 'Golden Wind City', and let the sons and brothers of the Guards have a good meal. During the banquet, Yang Tian smiled and asked Genu to bring a long package roll and handed it to Qiong Daotian and said, "This is a long sword that Master Longfeng has just repaired, and the materials and craftsmanship are the same as the short sword last time...... Originally, I was going to give it to adults at the same time last time, but there was a little damage, so it was too disrespectful to give it to Hou Ye like this. That's why I brought it over this time, and the Dragon Wind Mage used a lot of effort on it, and the power would only be stronger than the previous sword. ”
Qiong Daotian was ecstatic in his heart, although that short sword was powerful, but after all, it was not suitable for him to use, and now looking at the shape of this package, it was the kind of two-handed big sword suitable for use in the battle array, plus that kind of strange power, he killed the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops, isn't it like a bag?
He took the long sword, and the weight was very heavy, which was just in line with his heart, but Qiong Daotian was not in a hurry to open it on the spot, and said lightly: "This favor, this Hou Ye remembers...... Lord Yang said that there is something in the future, although it is told. ”
Yang Tian hurriedly climbed up along the pole: "This, I heard from Your Majesty, Your Majesty is mobilizing military horses and ordnance to prepare for an expedition...... This, can you let the lower officials also set off with the army, get a little bit of military merit, and then glorify the ancestors. ”
Qiong Daotian was in a good mood and agreed. He observed the people of the Guards Regiment, except for Yang Tian himself, who was too bad, the other people from Feng Ling'er, Long Feng, and Genu down could all be regarded as good hands, and they were naturally useful on the battlefield, which was equivalent to Yang Tian sending him a team of elite soldiers, why didn't he do it?
The 'Zijin Gong' Mansion has prepared a team of 100 people, all of whom are indigenous mountain people in the basin, who are good at crossing mountains and mountains, as well as chasing clues in the jungle, and they also have a brutal hand-to-hand combat kung fu, all of which are survival instincts obtained by fighting to the death with wild beasts in the mountains. They are the guides and scouts of the Guards.
Qiong Daotian had something important to do, and happily carried the long package to open the way with the master, and just ran out of a dozen lengths, he couldn't help but pull out the long sword and waved it on the horse. A strong scorching force poured into his body, and Qiong Daotian laughed with satisfaction.
The Guards did not hesitate, and everyone set off with the guides. According to the latest information, the bandit had just appeared near the village two hundred miles away. Since Yang Tian and the others didn't dare to take bribes on the ground of the 'Zijin Gong', it was natural to quickly clean up the group of bandits and return to the Holy Capital to accept the reward.
At nightfall, they set up camp at the foot of the mountains. Those guides did not need to be instructed, they directly assigned half of the manpower, three in a group, two groups of scattered sentinels, a moment of effort, they have already blended into the surrounding scenery, it is rare to find.
Long Feng whispered, "If such a man of 3,000 sneak attacks the Guards Regiment, it can cause at least 7,000 casualties. These sons and brothers, who originally had a foundation in martial arts, coupled with the training of the worship hall, can now be regarded as second-rate and third-rate masters, and they are not even much worse than the ironclad warriors of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army', but they who have not been tempered by the war are not the opponents of these real warriors at all. ”
Yang Tian muttered a few times and scolded in a low voice: "Then what should I do, kill all those bandits?"
Long Feng gently touched his chin, nodded coldly and said, "That's the only way, let them see the blood first." You don't want your first army to be lost on the battlefield, do you?"
Yang Tianyin laughed coldly and nodded silently.
A few wolf howls were heard in the distance, and a silver moon hung high in the sky. The two of them closed their eyes at the same time, and began to practice every necessary thing, and their minds expanded infinitely, enveloping the entire mountain range in an instant, and almost at the same time, they discovered the place where the group of bandits gathered...... Seeing that they happily lit a bonfire and barbecued cattle, sheep and pigs and other looted domestic animals. A big man who seemed to be the leader was holding a wine bowl and shouting, "This harvest is not small, we can stay here for three days, and then go find a fresh place." However, everyone must be careful, those dog officials in the imperial court have already sent people to find out our news, so we must not be careless. ”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When the day was just hazy, all the members of the group got up silently, and naturally there were members on duty who warmed up dry food for everyone to have breakfast. Perhaps one of the Achilles' heels of the Guards is that no one's cook's skills are satisfactory.
They were reluctant to slow down the march with their fireheads, so they had to endure the smell of dry food.
Slowly, some members began to marvel at the freshness of the morning air in the mountains, the beauty of those hazy mist, and the magnificent scenery of the hazy golden line on the eastern mountain. But as Yang Tian pressed down with both hands, no one dared to speak. There were once several sons of a certain Shangshu who disobeyed orders, and they were trained by Yang Tian for three days and three nights in the name of special news, and it is said that in the end they didn't even have the strength to climb the G.
The Guards quietly finished their breakfast, and under the leadership of the guides, they dispersed into more than 100 teams, each of which was separated by a distance of about ten zhang, and quietly touched the mountains. They left a hundred people behind to take care of the precious horses.
Yang Tian looked at the guides curiously to judge whether there were a large number of people and horses who had passed here according to the fracture of the grass roots on the ground, how many people passed by according to the damage to the bushes and branches, and whether they carried a lot of livestock according to the fur hanging on the trees......
The members of the group have already put on light fish scale armor, and they are not willing to joke with their precious lives. Gnu had already happily put on his super heavy helmet, wielding a giant sword to open the way in front, and the giant tree that the three of them hugged was easily cut off by his sword in the frightened eyes of everyone...... If it weren't for the fear of alarming the bandits, Yang Tian would have been happy to let Gnu open the way, but now, looking at the countless birds and beasts that were alarmed by the fallen tree, he could only order him to stop.
Gently, Yang Tian asked Long Feng and said, "Do you want to take people directly to that small valley?"
Long Feng shook his head lightly and said, "Hell, how do you tell them how we know where they are hiding? Waste three days at most, and we can find those guys. ”
Long Feng's judgment was not wrong, they only used two more days of effort, and in the early morning of the third day, they found the bandit brigade hidden in a small valley fifty miles away. They had no sense of possibility, not a single sentry, and all of them were sleeping in the grass nests and caves. And the valley they chose was actually a dead place, surrounded by towering cliffs, with only a zigzag exit less than ten zhang wide in the east.
Yang Tian laughed excitedly, and said with a sneer: "Brothers, who is interested in going in with me and talking to them? These bandits are basically ordinary people, and one of us can cut them a hundred." ”
The members of the group are excited, and they will not let go of such an opportunity to show their chivalrous spirit. After returning to Shengjing, he proudly stood in front of those familiar noble ladies, and said with a big grin that he was the first to rush into the bandit pile and killed how many bandits he killed with his own hands.
Yang Tian selected fifty of the best members as the first echelon and walked in with a swagger. The rest of the guys could only look at these lucky ones with greed, and were unwilling to stand in a diamond-shaped formation with both offense and defense, and slowly forced towards the entrance. Some people who are a little more ruthless, who have learned hidden weapons from their own martial artists, also secretly grasp those well-made hidden weapons in their hands.
Yang Tian strode forward, shouting as he walked: "Don't give me face, cut desperately, kill desperately, kill these bastard bandits." Kill one, Lao Tzu will reward one hundred taels of silver, and at the same time record military merits once. ”
Jiang Chunshui and Zeng Guoxuan also bluffed: "The boss will reward one hundred taels of silver, and our two brothers will reward fifty taels each." In other words, if you kill a bandit, you can use two hundred taels of silver to go to the 'Drunken Immortal Building' to have a good drink. ”
At the sound of a 'hmm', the other forty-eight members of the regiment suddenly became energetic, they were so well equipped that they had to kill fifty or sixty of them, earning him eight thousand dollars in silver, and what a face. A murderous aura suddenly poured out of their bodies, and even Long Feng could clearly feel it.
In a grass nest in front of them, four thighs were entangled. Yang Tian signaled, Zeng Guoxuan ran up with a wicked smile, and kicked the butt of the person above. The sterling silver cloud head wrapped in gold flakes kicked the man screaming, got up violently, and roared: "Little San, fuck, Lao Tzu plays with his wife, what ......are you arguing about?"
Before he finished his words, the person in front of him was not the little third son he expected, but about fifty young people in gorgeous armor and clothing. He shuddered and took a few steps back, and no longer caring about his wife, he ran as fast as he could into the valley, and his wife screamed and chased after him naked.
The man came back to his senses and screamed: "It's terrible, the officers and soldiers of the court are here, everyone get up and run." ”
The tranquil valley suddenly became lively, and countless people came out of all kinds of strange places, trousers in their hands and clothes in their hands. A big man roared violently: "Panic JB, fuck, just more than fifty people, fuck the guys, kill them, and leave immediately." ”
The crowd gradually stabilized, and slowly came together, looking like there were about 13,000 or 4,000, with tattered clothes and strange weapons in their hands, such as kitchen knives, hoe handles, fire sticks, and so on. People are also of all kinds, from old men in their hundreds, to children of seven or eight years old. The most combat-ready young and middle-aged people account for about half.
The leader, Dahan, with more than twenty tall young men, walked out slowly with a shoddy machete in his hand, and asked cautiously, "This, what are you doing?"
Yang Tian shook his head lazily, Zeng Guoxuan stood out with a fake tiger, took out his waist card and said: "Lao Tzu is the military master sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits, what about you, honestly put down your weapons, we will simply order and cut you with a knife." If you resist, we will slowly hack you to death. ”
Long Feng almost suffocated to death in one breath, fuck, what did you say? Originally, people still had the heart to surrender, but when he said this, he must have resisted to the death. Jiang Chunshui and the others also grinned, thinking about how to rectify this guy.
The big man widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said in a muffled voice, "So, there is no negotiation?"
Yang Tian walked up, pulled Zeng Guoxuan back with one hand, and said slowly: "This, there is still a discussion." Tell us, why do you want to be bandits, and then, we can't let go of the primary responsible person, and we must definitely investigate it in accordance with the laws of the country. As long as other people honestly return to their original places of residence to farm, we will not pursue them. Let's talk about the results. ”
The crowd exploded all at once, and I don't know how many voices roared: "Go home to farm, can you feed us?" "Fuck, you forced it out, and you want us to go home?" "I'm fucking your ancestors, we are all the first offenders, we have made up our minds together to be bandits, and if you want to kill them, you can kill them together." ”......
There were a few old men standing in the front row who were scolding happily, and they had already begun to greet Yang Tian's ancestors loudly.
Yang Tian didn't care much, Long Feng's face changed. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a huge black fireball and threw it out. On the cliff on the right...... No, it's not a cliff anymore, and with a loud bang, the entire cliff was blown into a 45-degree slope, and a large piece of the cliff disappeared completely.
Long Feng roared angrily: "Fuck, shut up." ”
The crowd fell silent all of a sudden, and they looked at Long Feng with frightened, monster-looking eyes.
Yang Tian struck while the iron was hot and said, "See, this mage next to me is the protector of His Majesty's Imperial Seal today, and he can kill all of you alone...... Well, you should go home and farm according to our conditions, and we will call on the local officials to settle you well. We don't want to slaughter you wantonly, it's hurting the heavens. ”
The stunned crowd did not speak. There was a sound of neat footsteps at the mouth of the valley, but it was the members of the group behind who heard the loud noise, saw the flash, and ran in a hurry in a hurry. Seeing that Yang Tian was still negotiating with the crowd, he was silent for a moment, and according to Ping's training, he put on a murderous charging formation, the three charging protrusions, and the hundred or so most powerful and arrogant generals waved the large war swords in their hands violently.
Yang Tian smiled proudly: "Don't think that we only have more than fifty people and want to eat us, take a look for yourself, these people in the back, don't talk about martial arts first, you can't deal with the armor on their bodies." Do you think that a kitchen knife can cut through the armor refined by the master craftsmen of the Celestial Empire?"
The big man led by him stayed for a long time, and suddenly, like a fierce beast that had been forced into a dead corner and fought back wildly, roared: "You dog officials, there is a flood in our hometown, and you don't give you a cent of disaster relief money...... Forced us to come out and be bandits...... Okay, kill us, and no one will sue you...... Remember, God is watching from heaven, and you will not end well. ”
The members of the group were stunned for a moment, and Lin Yiyun rushed up and shouted: "Nonsense, we have never heard of a flood in the territory of the Celestial Empire in the capital...... Besides, if there is a flood, why do more than 10,000 of you run out to become bandits?"
Huangfu Siyun, the nephew of the Hubu Shangshu, strode out and said loudly: "My uncle is the current Hubu Shangshu, but I have never heard of such a thing. Besides, if there is a natural disaster, the Celestial Empire has a certain amount of money every year that is specially prepared to deal with the natural disaster, and it is specially prepared to be distributed to the people. Why don't you see your magistrate report to the court?"
The leader of the big man took a few steps forward and said excitedly: "Do they dare to report it? Our local governor embezzled the money from the imperial court to repair the embankment, and the embankment collapsed. He sent troops to block all the main transportation routes, and we were not allowed to come out and complain. More than 10,000 of us had no choice but to rush out desperately to find a way out. More than 8 million people affected by the disaster are estimated to have starved to death by now. More than 30,000 of our villagers were killed by the officers and soldiers who closed the road. ”
Yang Tian asked lightly: "Which county are you from?"
An old man cowered and walked out: "We, we are from Tianhe County...... There was a lot of rain in the Tianjiang River this year, and the governor embezzled money and built a dam with floating mud, which collapsed as soon as the flood washed away. Half of Tianhe County was flooded. ”
Zeng Guoxuan's face was a little ugly, he pulled Yang Tian over, and whispered on the side: "Boss, what about this, I won't hide it from you, the candidate governor of Tianhe County is my old man's student...... As for this, he spent 50 million taels of silver to get this position...... Look, can you be thoughtful, in case this thing gets out of trouble, my old man will also have it...... Today's favor, my family will remember. ”
Jiang Chunshui heard it, shook his head helplessly, and whispered: "This, boss, what do you see, I heard that the candidate governor, the family wealth is a lot, and the relationship with the court is also good." My old man also accepted his prayer post, who knew that he would make such a block of things. It can be said that there will be a flood, but sending troops to block the news is a bully...... In case of trouble, everyone really has it, and it offends people......"
Yang Tian looked at Long Feng, Long Feng's face was expressionless, but his toes smashed a small grass into pieces.
Yang Tian roared: "Fuck, you don't feel at ease farming, you are willing to degenerate and become bandits, scourge the people, and slander the court officials, deserve to die, the crime deserves death...... Kill me!"
Gnu rushed out with the sound of the wind, his hands, feet, and knees...... The whole body became a deadly weapon, only to see a black shadow dangling in the crowd, screaming loudly, hundreds of people's bones were smashed out of the body, and died on the spot.
The members of the group behind couldn't hold back, and Jiang Chunshui shouted: "Kill one, brother, I will reward five hundred taels." Zeng Guoxuan shouted next to him: "Add mine, kill one is a thousand taels." The members of the regiment roared and rushed out, and the swords of the leading stormtroopers flew up, and with each blow there were people splashing blood and howling to death.
Several old men scolded angrily: "You dog officials, you brutes......"
Yang Tian quickly swept in front of them, and said in a cruel voice: "I admit that I am a not very good official, but you must scold me, please don't use that dog word, okay?"
Long Feng stood still and did not move, but as soon as someone tried to climb out of the slope and escape, a huge wind blade immediately broke through the air and slashed him in two.
Feng Ling'er slowly floated into the air, looking at the one-sided slaughter underground with a little curiosity. In her opinion, it was probably a group of dogs biting each other, and there would be no thrill at all.
In a short time, the bandits were slaughtered. Those boys who wielded weapons and were so excited by the smell of blood rushed into the cave one after another, searching and killing the possible remnants one by one, and from time to time, screams came out from every corner.
For a long time, there is indeed no remaining living mouth, after Long Feng's scanning, there is indeed no living mouth, Yang Tian summoned the members of the group to give a loud lecture: "We are all brothers, so we will not hide it from everyone." He quickly recounted what had just happened. Some of the members of the group had already heard and some had just heard, but none of them made a sound.
Yang Tian said coldly: "This time, everyone's hands are not clean, and they are stained with their blood, so don't think that you are innocent." Reward silver, a penny is not a lot. However, if you hear some undeserved rumors later, don't blame the brothers for being unkind. ”
Realizing that these things are taken for granted, the sons and buddies naturally have no objections, and they don't think it's a big deal to shield their companions and shelter the taboo officials. The silver reward was distributed on the spot, and everyone received more than 1,000 taels, so they were naturally happy.
The heads of the corpses on the ground were cut off, each carrying a sign of exploits.
Yang Tian whispered to Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui: "Pegasus returned to Shengjing to report the news, secret, don't let people know." Hurry up and tell the governor to settle the people, and if he can't afford the money, don't blame me for not being righteous enough. We discussed a unified standard, those bandits disregarded the government's placement, bent on coming out to cause harm, and put all the charges on their heads. As for the flood in Tianhe County, why didn't it be reported in time, it was said that Governor Hou personally went to the disaster area to comfort the people, and the post was a few days late, and then the post was delayed in Shengjing...... Discuss it with Huangfu Siyun, and the household department should also be unified...... At most, the governor was reprimanded, and it passed...... No problem, right?"
The two nodded yes, and pulled Huangfu Siyun to the side.
The dragon wind drove the whirlwind to gather the corpses together, and then burned them clean. Yang Tian thought about it, those guides were fortunately on guard on the periphery, and they shouldn't have heard the topic inside. Just in case, it's better to say hello to Qiong Daotian and give a little signal.
This time, that's how it passed. The Guards Regiment made a great contribution in its first dispatch, and consulted more than 10,000 bandits without any casualties. Qiong Daotian was very good enough for his buddies to warn those guides harshly, but there was no news of it. The people of the Guards Regiment have their own hearts, and they won't tell the matter anymore, anyway, they have been promoted and made rich.
Governor Hou was reprimanded, saying that he was too late to report the situation. But considering that he personally went down to comfort the people, and at the same time, he actually donated his family wealth to resettle the people, and he actually recorded a lot of credit on his assessment file.
Scholar Zeng and Scholar Jiang knew it in their hearts, and expressed their kindness to Yang Tian through their son. Governor Hou also knew it in his heart, and quickly sent a generous gift to Yang Tian.
Things were so successful, except for the more than 10,000 people who were unhappy, the rest of the people were satisfied. The people of Tianhe County who were stricken by the disaster were very happy since they received the generous relief money allocated by the household department, and how could they remember what Governor Hou had done?
Feng Ling'er asked Long Feng a little puzzled: "Aren't you wronging those bandits by doing this?" they are also your kind...... Can you do it?"
Long Feng looked at his hand indifferently and said, "Why can't you do it? This time I only killed more than 10,000 people, but everyone is satisfied, including those ordinary people, what else is wrong? Besides, according to the law, their plundering of the people is a capital crime, and it is not too wrong. To say the same kind...... There are so many cannibalistic things in the world, you see too little......"
Feng Ling'er shook her head, frowned puzzled, and jumped on the roof, not knowing where to go.
