Chapter 192: Is it the same as the Three Kingdoms two thousand years ago?
When Ruan Jingtian saw the gendarmes moving the corpses and the wounded, he silently calculated the number of casualties on both sides: four dead and three wounded by the gendarmerie, and eight dead and two wounded in Shaojia and Qinglongmen. According to Ruan Jingtian's estimate: there are seven people in the Shao family and five people in Qinglongmen, a total of twelve people. Shao Xinglu was caught by Ruan Jingtian, which meant that the Shao family and Qinglongmen escaped. No matter who the person who escaped was, it was a very bad thing for Ruan Jingtian: because the Shao family and Qinglongmen were mad about kidnapping and murdering Ning Ningwen.
Zhang Huogen was unhappy when he saw that there were very few things found, and ordered the gendarmes to conduct a house-to-house search of Hongjia Town.
Ruan Jingtian saw the four gendarmes walking towards his house, hurriedly closed the door, and retreated to the door of the house. After a while, he heard the gendarmes banging on the door, and he hurried to the door to open the door and let the gendarmes in.
Four gendarmes began to search each house. If it weren't for a closer inspection, two basements wouldn't have been found at all.
Nguyen Ching Tien stood in the courtyard, coldly watching the search by the gendarmes. After a while, the four gendarmes converged, shook their heads at each other, and then went out to the other.
After the gendarmes had completely left, Ruan Jingtian came to the basement, used his soul technique, and began to interrogate Shao Xinglu. After an hour passed, Ruan Jingtian knew many unknown things: Hu Jiehua's crazy pursuit of Ning Ningwen, and Zhang Chengxian, the deputy head of the Qinglong Gate, prepared to kidnap Ning Ning Wen against Shanggong Xiaomu and Liu Fanding, all of which were instigated by Shao Xinglu behind his back.
Ruan Jingtian was furious, and after searching Shao Xinglu's bank checks and other belongings, he sent out a fireball that turned Shao Xinglu into ashes.
The uproar in Hongjia Town gradually calmed down, Ruan Jingtian locked the door, activated the flying suit, and came to Ning Shoucheng's villa. Just as Ning Shoucheng had just arrived home, Ruan Jingtian was called to the study.
"Takaki, now you are the deputy head of the Higashiyama Castle Water Agency. According to the rank, it is a provincial official, and it can be regarded as a temple in Liuyun Province. Ning Shoucheng said.
"Uncle, Xiaomu is still young, and he still needs a lot of exercise, so he doesn't dare to be complacent. Ruan Jingtian said modestly.
"Xiaomu, you are indeed very young, if you want to go further in your career, you must understand history, especially the history of the Thorn Kingdom. Do you know the history of the Assassin Kingdom?" Ning Shoucheng asked.
"A little bit of it. β
"In the history of the Assassin Country. The first time was 600 years ago, the iron cavalry of the Alliance Bone Clan swept across the land of the Thorn Country and established the Yuan Dynasty, which ruled the Thorn people for nearly 100 years, and the second time was 300 years ago, when the Qiang tribe conquered the great rivers and mountains of the Thorn Country and established the Qiang Dynasty, which ruled the Thorn people for more than 260 years. Now that our Zheguo has occupied the entire Thorn Country, it is just around the corner. But occupation and domination are very different things. If you want to rule the Thorn Kingdom, you must learn the way of governing the Yuan Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Now that you happen to be the official in charge of the bureaucracy, you should read the history and allusions in this regard. Ning Shoucheng said earnestly.
Ruan Jingtian was silent. There are many ethnic groups in the Assassin Kingdom, and more than 90 percent of them are from the Bian, and Ruan Jingtian is a Bian. The history of the Thorn Kingdom was basically ruled by the Bian, but the Bians were defeated by the Bone Clan and the Qiang Clan. Being ruled by these two ethnic groups is a great shame for the Bian, although now the Menggu and the Qiang are also known as the Thorns, but they are also known as the ethnic minorities of the Thorn Country.
"We are very similar to the Qiang people of more than 300 years ago. After the establishment of the Xiang Dynasty, the Qiang people also faced opposition and resistance from various anti-Ao Dynasty organizations at the initial stage, but the third emperor of the Xiang Dynasty, Xi Kan the Great, boldly used the officials of the Shan Dynasty. The strategy of using the Gang to control the Gang succeeded in consolidating the dominance of the Tsu Dynasty. Therefore, we philosophers should also learn from the practices of the Western Kan Emperor. Your current position provides you with convenient access to officials in various departments, you can observe more Assassin officials who are loyal to Zheguo, if you are capable and loyal to Zheguo, you can cultivate and support him, and let him manage the Assassins, which is much better than us Zheguo people directly managing the Assassins. Ning Shoucheng continued.
"Uncle, according to the regulations, the positions allowed to serve in the government are limited to the government, and can only be deputies. Water traps are not allowed to enter the country's nationals. Ruan Jingtian said.
"Do you want to work in the water agency for the rest of your life? There are too many things that offend people in the water agency, and working in the water agency for a long time is not conducive to your future career. If you want to go further in the future, you must experience it in the government. If you have a good relationship with the government's assassins in the water agency, and you enter the government later, then these powerful assassins may be of great help to you. β
Ruan Jingtian understood what Ning Shoucheng meant, and his current level was the same as that of the deputy mayor. Ning Shoucheng asked him to take advantage of the opportunity of the water agency to investigate and punish officials, and take the opportunity to make friends with some traitors who assassinated the country, and when Gong Xiaomu became the mayor, he could use these traitors to assassinate the country and let them manage the assassins for Gong Xiaomu.
"Yes, follow my uncle's teachings. Ruan Jingtian bowed his head and said. In his heart, he thought that Ning Shoucheng wanted to emulate the people of the Qian tribe back then, and he felt that Ning Shoucheng's thoughts were a little naΓ―ve.
Three hundred years ago, when the Qiang people conquered the Assassin Kingdom, after occupying a territory, they implemented a policy of Huairou to the local Bian, consolidating their rule, and the front opened was not long, and after decades of stable position, the expansion of the domain was carried out;
The military strength of the Southern Continent Mai Country is very strong, once the Zhe Kingdom provokes the Wheat State, the Wheat Kingdom will definitely fight back with all its might, and it may make the Zhe Kingdom disappear from the territory of the Lin Xing Continent, because the government of the Wheat Country will take revenge. Of course, now Zheguo did not take the initiative to provoke Mai Guo, but Ruan analyzed through the telex and text sent from within Cheolguo by Tiantong GuΓ² Zheguo that Zheguo would have to take action against Mai Guo sooner or later, because Mai Guo's sea power threatened Zheguo's sea transportation lines.
In addition, the most important thing is that it has only been more than 20 years since the Assassins overthrew the Xiang Dynasty, and the Zheguo people have used force against the Assassins, so how can the Assassins be captured? This shows how unpopular the Zheguo's aggression was from the numerous anti-philosophical organizations in various parts of the Assassin Kingdom. Moreover, the policy of killing, robbing, and burning all the people in the Assassin Country directly angered all the Assassins, when everyone from the ancient old man to the Huangkou child tried their best to kill the people of Zheguo, how could the people of Zheguo stay in the Assassin Country?
Of course, Ruan Jingtian would not say these words to Ning Shoucheng, in fact, although he had met Ning Shoucheng a lot of times, he was a little confused about the thoughts and concepts of this prospective father-in-law.
Ning Shoucheng was a high-ranking official in Zheguo, and he naturally carried out the policies of the upper echelons of Zheguo. He served the goal of conquering the Thorn Kingdom, but he seemed to be very different from the generals and other high-ranking officials who only wanted to plunder the resources of the Thorn Kingdom. Ning Shoucheng seems to hold on to the belief of ruling the Assassin Country for a long time, and he does not like to make bloody measures to suppress the Assassins, at least Ruan Jingtian has not heard of the large-scale implementation of the Three Light Policy by the Liuyun Provincial Army Headquarters.
However, under the attitude of the top military leaders of Zheguo conniving at the atrocities of the devils of Zheguo, Ning Shoucheng could not curb the ferocity of the devils of Zheguo at all, because he had very little influence on the military.
Ruan Jingtian heard that Ning Shoucheng wanted to follow the example of Emperor Xikan, and he was a little disapproving.
"Takaki. Tomorrow, you go to the Liuyun Military Region, Xu Leijian has something to do with you. Note: The army is a place with strict hierarchies, Xu Leijian is your superior, and the etiquette must be observed, otherwise it is easy to give people a tongue. Ning Shoucheng finally said this sentence and waved his hand to signal Ruan Jingtian to leave.
Ruan Jingtian saluted Ning Shoucheng at goodnight, walked out of the study, and came to Ning Ningwen's bedroom, where he took out a set of black belly needles. said: "Jingwen, this is the black belly needle, you bring me a pair of sneakers or casual shoes, and I will install this device in your shoes." β
The remnants of the Shao family and the Qinglongmen ran away. This matter has always been a thorn in Ruan Jingtian's heart. He suspected that the person who escaped was Liu Fanding, because among these people, only Liu Fanding had the highest skill. This person is a cultivator, at least at the intermediate stage of Xuan Jing. Ordinary warriors have few opponents. Now this person is instigated by Shao Xinglu, and he is bent on kidnapping Ning Ningwen, and Ruan Jingtian can't tell Ning Shoucheng about it. Ruan Jingtian had no choice but to take precautions as much as possible.
Ning Jingwen took out a pair of flat-heeled casual shoes and handed them to Ruan Jingtian. Ruan Jingtian took a knife to cut open the bottom of the casual shoes, put the black belly needle in it, sewed the cut part with a needle and thread, and taught Ning Ningwen how to use the black belly needle.
After a few experiments, Ning Jingwen quickly mastered the skills of using the black belly needle. Ruan Jingtian briefly told Ning Ning Wen about Shao Xinglu and Liu Fan Ding, and told Ning Ning Wen to be cautious in the next few days.
Ning Jingwen was very surprised when she heard Shao Xinglu instigating Hu Jiehua and Liu Fanding to deal with her, but she knew that it was all true.
Ruan Jingtian checked Ning Jingwen's cultivation progress and found that Ning Jingwen's qualifications were good. In a short period of time, she has stabilized in the initial stage of Xuan Jing, and her other martial arts skills are also quite proficient.
Ruan Jingtian told her some skills in dealing with Liu Fanding, because he had fought against the Qinglongmen many times, and he was still somewhat familiar with the tricks of the Qinglongmen. After handing over a large-caliber Manguo-made pistol to Ning Ningwen, Ruan Jingtian said goodbye to Ning Ning Wen and left the Ning family's villa.
Back at the Spring Water Restaurant, Ruan Jingtian came to Zhuo Fengguo's room. Zhuo Fengguo told Ruan Jingtian: Xue Puwei will lead more than 20 skilled workers to go to Tuerling tomorrow with Zhuo Fengguo and the purchased equipment and other items.
Ruan Jingtian felt that the materials seized last night could not always be stored in the house in Hongjia Town, and must be transferred in time. He asked Zhuo Fengguo to rent four heavy trucks tomorrow morning, find three or four people who can drive from among Xue Puwei's workers, come to the house in Hongjia Town, and pull all the supplies to Rabbit Ridge.
After giving the task, Ruan Jingtian returned to his room and began to practice hard. His three-body technique had broken through the first level of the primary level, and ordinary cold weapons could no longer cause him obvious damage, at most leaving a mark on his skin, which would gradually fade. Now he is cultivating the second level, mainly cultivating subcutaneous adipose tissue. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is a relatively loose layer of tissue, which has a protective function and can buffer external pressure, and it also has the function of regulating body temperature and sensory function.
The three-body formula can increase the toughness of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, making it less susceptible to damage, and the three-body formula can also make the fat cells have a more powerful ability to divide and reproduce, and accelerate the metabolic ability.
Cultivation is extremely arduous, first the fat cells, fibrous septum, and blood vessels are all cracked, and then they are reproduced and repaired, and finally the regenerated cells and repaired fibrous septums and blood vessels will become more tenacious.
But Ruan Jingtian would not be intimidated by the pain, and he used the Xuangang Technique with all his strength to resist the pain all over his body. Two hours later, he finally completed the first cell division and multiplication and repair of the fibrous septum and blood vessels. He felt that the three-body formula was very much a exercise in people's willpower and resistance to pain. He thought: Cultivating the Three-Body Formula, you should be able to endure torture.
At the same time, Liu Fan Ding of Qinglongmen ran out of Hongjia Town in a miserable manner. He didn't know why his fate was so. Although he cultivates the truth, his skills are profound. But it couldn't withstand the bombardment of thirty grenades, it was a nightmare. Fortunately, he was in front of the window on the second floor, and when he heard the sound of machine guns and the noise of people outside, he immediately jumped out of the window, and in a few jumps, he had already climbed out of the back wall of the courtyard.
Hearing the loud explosion of the grenade, he couldn't help but shudder. If he had been a little slower to react just now, he would have shrapnel stuck all over his body.
Due to the haste of escaping, Liu Fanding did not bring anything except the things he brought with him. In the middle of a wood, he stopped, frustratedly checking what he had brought with him. He pulled out the enhanced receiver and saw that the last source was pointing to the western part of Springs.
Thinking of the seven signals that had caused them heavy losses a few days ago, Liu Fanding couldn't wait to throw out the enhanced receiver in his hand. He looked at the eighth signal and suddenly realized that he had overlooked a problem. This eighth signal has never moved its position. What does this mean? He began to ponder this question over and over again:
If the signal is bait, then the baiter generally does not wait that long to either withdraw the bait or take the bait somewhere else. Continue to wait for the fish to take the bait.
If the signal is not bait, then the source of the signal is where the real treasure is, maybe the other party did not find this signal transmitter, maybe the other party did not think that there was an eighth signal transmitter. Whatever the case may be. The source of the signal must be related to the treasure of the inscription.
Thinking of the treasure, Liu Fanding couldn't help but shed tears. When did he ever worry about money in Zheguo? He came from a family. The usual pocket money is more than ten times that of his peers, plus he is a core disciple of the inner door of the Qinglong Sect, and the usual rewards are very rich, so Liu Fanding doesn't know what it's like to be short of money. In his perception, he thinks that money will automatically fly into his pocket.
At the beginning, he wanted to snatch back the treasure of Shen Yigang, but he just wanted to prove how brave and wise he was in the same door, and wanted to prove that he could contribute to the Qinglong Gate in front of the door owner, so he did not hesitate to go out with all his staff and strive to snatch it.
However, living in a rented house on Shao Xinglu, Shao Xinglu often frowned and said how expensive the rent was. Liu Fanding didn't say a word, took out a stack of bank cashier's checks and handed them to Shao Xinglu. When Shao Xinglu unceremoniously took the cashier's check, Liu Fanding found that he had no money on him. He really couldn't hold back his face to ask Shao Xinglu for some cashier's checks, so he had to ask for some money from the other four junior disciples. The four disciples had an average family background, and they had no extra money, so they only gave him 300 Zheyuan.
In Zheguo, he needs at least 1,000 Zheyuan to eat a meal, and 300 Zheyuan is the change to send Hanako. He really wanted to throw three bills on his junior brother's face. But seeing the disdainful eyes of his junior brother, he knew that because of his own mistakes, the junior brothers had begun to resentful of him, and if he had an awkward quarrel with his junior brother because of money problems, I am afraid that the team would really disperse. Thinking of this, he held back and put three bills in his pocket.
The three bills were in his pocket for only half a day before entering the bun shop in Hongjia Town. Three brand-new banknotes were exchanged for eighteen buns, one point for five disciples, an average of less than four per person, barely enough to fill their stomachs.
Now, he's penniless. Looking at the enticing signal on the receiver, it was as if he saw a myriad of treasures beckoning to him. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and decided to rush to the location of the signal source to retrieve the treasure that belonged to their Blue Dragon Gate. Of course, Qinglongmen abandoned him, and these treasures rightfully belonged to him Liu Fanding.
The next morning, Lao Huang drove Ling Zhi's car and carried Ruan Jingtian to the Liuyun Military Region in the west of Quanshui City to meet Xu Leijian. After the military salute, Ruan Jingtian was led by Xu Leijian to a reception room, where he saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa in the reception room talking in a low voice.
"Let me introduce you, this is Lieutenant Colonel Miyatakagi, a staff officer of the 823rd Division. Xu Leijian introduced Ruan Jingtian to the two.
"This is Mr. Hiroshi Kimura, this is Miss Huang Xirong, they are both representatives of Xinzhe Entertainment Company. Xu Leijian introduced a man and a woman to Ruan Jingtian.
Ruan Jingtian shook hands with the two of them and said hello to each other, and he muttered in his heart: Xu Leijian is a colonel, how can he have anything to do with an entertainment company?
"Gong Staff, Mr. Mu and Miss Huang came to me three days ago, and they originally wanted to come to Dongshan City to find you yesterday. I heard that you came to Springwater City, so they are waiting for you at my place. Xu Leijian said.
Ruan Jingtian was even more puzzled, why did the entertainment company look for him? It seems that he has never intersected with the entertainment company.
Kimura Lang saw Ruan Jingtian's expression. said: "Gong staff, the relevant matters related to the receipt of weapons and equipment from the Manguo Kingdom will be completed by you and our company, and I hope that we will cooperate sincerely and successfully complete the tasks assigned to us by the Great Zheguo." β
Xu Leijian took over the conversation and said: "Gong staff, the matter of receiving weapons from the Manguo is arranged like this: the Manguo first hands over the weapons and equipment to the Xinzhe Entertainment Company, and then the Xinzhe Entertainment Company transfers the weapons and equipment to the 823 Division. You are the plenipotentiary representative of the 823rd Division, and you signed the relevant agreements with Mr. Mu and Miss Huang. β
After listening to the explanations of the two, Ruan Jingtian was full of doubts in his heart: the country of Man donated weapons and equipment. Why is it so complicated? Why is it my plenipotentiary? Am I so handsome and dashing that I am fascinated by all beings?
Although he didn't understand the twists and turns in between, Ruan Jingtian knew that this arrangement must be full of deep meaning. He looked at Xu Leijian, Kimura Lang and Huang Xirong meaningfully, and then said lightly: "Master Xu, can you talk about it alone?"
Xu Leijian glanced at him, then led Ruan Jingtian to the office next door, and after driving the office staff away, he said, "Gong staff, what's your problem?"
"What about the authorization letter from the 823rd Division?" asked Ruan Jingtian.
"Palace Counselor. You are a staff officer of the 823rd Division, and you do not need to be authorized. Xu Leijian looked at Ruan Jingtian puzzled, he didn't understand why Ruan Jingtian thought of this.
"Master Xu, since there is no authorization. Then there should be a red-headed text from the Zheguo Army Headquarters, right?" Ruan Jingtian said casually.
"Gong staff, because this matter is urgent, the army command gave an order verbally. Xu Leijian was a little impatient, this Gong Xiaomu didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong. Always work with him.
"Without a power of attorney and without a red-headed text, I can't represent the 823 Division. The only person who can be qualified to represent the 823rd Division is the brigade commander Ma Zhifang. "Because the Qinglongmen attack on Ma Xiaofang involves the secrecy of the military, the killing of Ma Xiaofang is kept strictly secret. After Ruan Jingtian lit a fire on Ma Xiaofang's buttocks, he didn't care about the rest of the matter, he really didn't know that poor Ma Xiaofang had died aggrieved, and Ma Xiaofang didn't understand why he died until he died.
When Xu Leijian heard Ma Xiaofang's name, he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he thought that Gong Xiaomu should not know about it, calmed the anger in his heart, and said: "Gong staff, this is an order from above, you must carry it out." β
Ruan Jingtian looked at Xu Leijian and said coldly: "Division Commander Xu, I am the staff officer of the 823rd Division, and it seems that I am not under your control." I wonder why I am the only one to receive the weapons and equipment for the 823rd Division?"
Xu Leijian's anger gradually rose, and he said: "Gong Xiaomu, I am a colonel and a division commander; you are a lieutenant colonel, a deputy brigade-level staff officer, according to the regulations of the army, regardless of whether you are subordinate or not, the subordinates must obey the orders of the superiors!"
Ruan Jingtian didn't like him at all, and said: "Xu Leijian, how did my staff officer come here, you are clear." Don't talk about the regulations in the army, you want me to work for you, it's okay, at least the procedure is passable. β
Xu Leijian was so angry that he ascended to heaven, and scolded in his heart: Why did he come up with such a lever! He really wanted to shoot the person in front of him, but thinking that the future would require such a wronged leader, he had no choice but to hold back his anger and said: "Gong staff, in a few days, I will give you the procedures you deserve." β
"Well, when you've completed the proper procedures, come and talk to me about receiving weapons. "Ruan Jingtian pushed the matter all to the proper procedure.
"After three days, the ships of the Manguo Kingdom will leave the sea outside Dongshan City, so you must hand over your weapons and equipment in the next three days, and when the matter is over, I will give you all the relevant documents. β
"Division Commander Xu, is it difficult for you to get a letter of authorization or a document? Can't you finish it in three days? I will stay in the military region for the past two days, when will you finish it, and when will I go to handle the handover. Ruan Jingtian saw Xu Leijian's pushing, and he felt more and more that things were boring.
"Gong Staff, do you really want to disobey?" Xu Leijian finally couldn't help it.
Suddenly, there were continuous gunshots outside the door, and Ruan Jingtian and Xu Leijian were taken aback. These rooms are all soundproofed, and the sound of gunshots coming in indicates that the place where the shots were fired is very close to here.
Xu Leijian rushed out with an arrow step, Ruan Jingtian glanced at it coldly, and sat down on the chair instead, this is Xu Leijian's territory, he doesn't need to be the cannon fodder who blocks bullets.
A guard saw Xu Leijian running out, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Division commander, just now Battalion Commander Wang said that there was a stranger in the toilet, and we were going to go to the toilet to investigate this person, but this stranger suddenly shot at us, and we had to shoot back." β
"Is the stranger still in the toilet?" Xu Leijian looked in the direction of the toilet, only to see the guards hiding behind the wall outside the toilet, holding guns to the toilet.
"It's still there, but this man is very good marksman, and we've already killed three brothers. β
"Bastard, there's only one enemy in the toilet, there are so many of you, you can't attack it? Xu Leijian ordered loudly.
The guard shouted yes, turned and ran for the heavy.
Xu Leijian looked at the toilet in the distance, and his heart was full of doubts: When the enemy attacked the barracks, did he suddenly feel anxious? It seems that he had never heard of the fact that the sneak attackers first went to the toilet of the command post of the enemy's division headquarters where the enemy was heavily guarded?
Three grenades were thrown out of the toilet, and when Xu Leijian saw this, he hurriedly lay on the ground. Only three explosions were heard, and a figure rushed out of the toilet and ran towards the door.
Xu Leijian saw that the sneak attacker was about to run, stood up, and shouted: "Catch the assassin!"
When the guards heard the order of the division commander, they pounced on the sneak attackers with guns. After hearing the direction of the order, the sneak attacker jumped up and grabbed Xu Leijian like an eagle fighting a rabbit.
Xu Leijian was not ambiguous and pulled out his pistol. It's a pity that the speed of the sneak attacker was too fast, and before Xu Leijian could pull the trigger, the sneak attacker cut off Xu Leijian's hand with a knife, and at the same time put the knife on Xu Leijian's neck, and then quickly sealed the acupoint where Xu Leijian's hand was broken to stop the bleeding.
Seeing that the sneak attacker was so skillful, Xu Lei couldn't bear the pain of breaking his hand, knowing that the other party was a martial artist with profound skills, and his heart was gloomy: If the relationship with Gong Xiaomu was not so tense, Gong Xiaomu would definitely be able to restrain this person.
The sneak attacker was none other than Liu Fanding.
Early in the morning, after making a big circle outside the city of Quanshui City, he finally found the exact location of the signal source, the command post of the Liuyun Military Region.
Seeing the heavily guarded military region, although he had doubts in his heart, Liu Fanding was really unwilling. A lot of treasures are close at hand, as the core disciple of the Qinglong Sect, can you only watch it? (To be continued......)
