Chapter 33: Terrible Rumors

On Huashan, Yuan Chengzhi and Yu Zhenzi have been fighting for an hour, and the two still haven't decided the winner.

"Little monkey, your strength has not weakened, how is this possible?" Yu Zhenzi looked at Yuan Chengzhi, his heart was full of fear.

Yu Zhenzi's true qi has been consumed by half, but Yuan Chengzhi is still strong, and every blow has the eight success power at the peak moment.

Yu Zhenzi secretly said in his heart: "It can't go on like this, when my true qi is exhausted, sooner or later I will die in the hands of Yuan Chengzhi." ”

Huashan is not only Yuan Chengzhi, a grandmaster martial artist, but also Mu Renqing, who has stronger martial arts, is watching next to him.

"I'm going to kill Yuan Chengzhi with all my might, and then I'm going to use my magic to escape. Yu Zhenzi paid attention in her heart.

The speed of the gods is unparalleled in the world, even if the Huashan faction is the most brilliant light skill, it is not as good as it.

Yuan Chengzhi laughed coldly: "Yu Zhenzi, you have no chance to win, even if I drain your true qi today, I will kill you." You are a lackey of the Manchu Tartars, everyone will be punished!"

Yuan Chengzhi's true qi has only consumed thirty percent, and compared with Yu Zhenzi, he naturally has more advantages.

"Die!"

Yu Zhenzi let out a loud shout, attacked with all his strength, and a sword qi several zhang long slashed towards Yuan Chengzhi.

Yuan Chengzhi smiled slightly, and stabbed at Yu Zhenzi with a light sword.

With a hint of a successful smile in his eyes, Yu Zhenzi turned his long sword and stabbed at Yuan Chengzhi's head at a strange angle.

Yuan Chengzhi was shocked, the sword qi just now was not Yu Zhenzi's killing move.

Yuan Chengzhi's Golden Snake Sword narrowly blocked Yu Zhenzi's long sword, and he was shocked in his heart: "It's so fast, Yu Zhenzi's speed is faster." ”

Now Yuan Chengzhi and Yu Zhenzi are fighting for strength and speed, and in the eyes of the disciples of the Huashan Sect, the two of them are just two phantoms that keep colliding.

The only ones who can see the shape and movements of the two can be seen clearly, only Mu Renqing and Mu Sang Dao Chang.

"Bang!"

Yuan Chengzhi's golden snake sword was shocked. I removed the amount of force.

Suddenly, Yuan Chengzhi found that Yu Zhenzi had disappeared.

"Chengzhi, be careful, he's above you!" Mu Renqing reminded.

Yuan Chengzhi looked up, and sure enough, he saw a white figure turning into an afterimage attacking him.

"Yu Zhenzi, you are really looking for death, flying into the air, I see how you can borrow your strength?" Yuan Chengzhi's long sword stabbed into the sky, and the tips of the two long swords collided, making a loud noise. Sword qi raged.

"Huh?"

Yuan Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, he felt a powerful force descending from the sky, directly bending the Golden Snake Sword.

"How could Yu Zhenzi have such a powerful force?" Yuan Chengzhi wondered in his heart.

"Little monkey, I'm using a jack drop now, plus the force of swooping down from the air. It's not something you can resist. Die. Yu Zhenzi laughed loudly.

The rock under Yuan Chengzhi's feet couldn't withstand the strong force, and there was a violent cracking sound. Time. Hundreds of pounds of stones flew everywhere.

The disciples of the Huashan Sect were dumbfounded.

Wen Qingqing saw that Yuan Chengzhi was at a disadvantage, and if he didn't fight back, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.

"Big brother, hit him with a golden snake cone!"

Wen Qingqing said loudly.

In the Golden Snake cheats, there are not only swordsmanship and body techniques, but also a set of quite powerful secret weapon methods.

Yuan Chengzhi listened. With great joy in his heart, the three golden snake cones turned into streamers and attacked Yu Zhenzi with the blessing of true qi.

"Huh?" Yu Zhenzi was stunned, "It's a hidden weapon!" ”

Tamako flew into the air at once.

"Dingding......

Three crunching sounds. Yu Zhenzi's long sword hit Yuan Chengzhi's golden snake cone.

Yu Zhenzi secretly said in his heart: "I spent a lot of powerful true qi just now, and now I only have two percent of my true qi, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Kill Yuan Chengzhi's kid, and find another opportunity in the future. ”

Yu Zhenzi saw that he struck with all his strength and did not kill Yuan Chengzhi, and suddenly retreated.

Yu Zhenzi used the strength of the golden snake cone to fly backwards. Falling to the ground, Yu Zhenzi once again unleashed his divine transformation, turning into an afterimage and escaping into the distance.

"Chengzhi, he wants to escape!" Mu Renqing said loudly.

Yuan Chengzhi took a deep breath and sneered: "Master rest assured, Yu Zhenzi can't escape." ”

Yuan Chengzhi used the strength of his whole body, kicked his feet on the ground, and his body turned into a streamer and attacked Yu Zhenzi. Yuan Chengzhi still used the Huashan swordsmanship "Maggot of the Tarsal Bone" this time, and he believed that with Yu Zhenzi's current state, he couldn't dodge it at all.

"What?" Yu Zhenzi looked back and saw Yuan Chengzhi killing him at an incredible speed.

"Whew!"

Yuan Chengzhi turned into an afterimage and appeared in front of Yu Zhenzi.

Yu Zhenzi suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and said in surprise: "I was tricked?"

Yuan Chengzhi's speed was too fast, the golden snake sword was too sharp, and after Yu Zhenzi's neck was cut, no blood spurted out.

"Poof!"

After a while...... Yu Zhenzi's neck spewed out a blood mist, and he fell to the ground and died.

"Wow, Big Brother won!"

Wen Qingqing saw that Yuan Chengzhi had killed Yu Zhenzi, and immediately jumped up with joy.

Mu Renqing and the others were also smiling, they didn't expect Yuan Chengzhi to kill Yu Zhenzi.

Originally, Mu Renqing wanted to help when Yuan Chengzhi was defeated, but now Yuan Chengzhi actually won, which surprised him.

Mu Sang Daochang's eyes darkened slightly, there was not the slightest smile on his face, and he let out a sigh in his heart. No matter how Yu Zhenzi is, he is his junior brother, and now that his junior brother is dead, it can be regarded as removing a scourge, but he Musang is the only one left in the Iron Sword Gate.

"Brother Musang Dao?"

Mu Renqing knew that Dao Mu Sang Dao Chang felt uncomfortable in his heart, and comforted him.

Mu Sang Daoist smiled in front of him: "Old monkey, don't say it, I know that Yu Zhenzi is self-inflicted and retribution." However, no matter what, he is my junior brother, and I will take him back to the Iron Sword Gate for burial. ”

Mu Renqing nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

Wen Qingqing walked up to Yuan Chengzhi and said with concern: "Big brother, how are you?"

Yuan Chengzhi shook his head and said, "Brother Qing, I don't have anything to do, don't worry." I'm just exhausted, just take a break. ”

In the last blow, Yuan Chengzhi used up all his true qi and physical strength, otherwise. can't kill the powerful opponent of Yu Zhenzi.

Wen Qingqing nodded and said, "Okay, big brother, I'll help you." ”

............

When Yuan Chengzhi's strength recovered, the red lady hurriedly said: "Chengzhi, King Chuang wants to kill your eldest brother, you hurry up and save him." It's too late, I'm afraid something will happen to him. ”

Wen Qingqing said coldly: "King Chuang's army is a rabble, and now King Chuang listens to the slander of Niu Jinxing and these villains, I see, King Chuang is now the same as Chongzhen." It's all a faint king. Red lady, since King Chuang wants to kill Li Yan, you just leave King Chuang, why do you have to serve him?"

The red lady didn't want to leave, but Li Yan was the military advisor of King Chuang. He also has a large army under his command, and it is not like he can go.

Yuan Chengzhi sighed. said: "We have pinned all our hopes on King Chuang. I didn't expect that King Chuang would not be able to support the mud on the wall. The eldest brother is in difficulty, and I, as the second brother, naturally can't ignore it. Let's go down the mountain now and save the big brother. ”

Wen Qingqing said, "Brother Yuan, I'm going too." ”

Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

When the red lady saw that Yuan Chengzhi promised to save people, she immediately smiled. Yuan Chengzhi is strong in martial arts. As long as he is there, Li Yan will definitely be fine.

............

The city of Beijing, an ancient city that has now been occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In a luxurious mansion, there are several Han old people sitting around. They are dressed in the same way as Manchurian.

They were the few Great Jin merchants who surrendered to the Manchus.

"Tell me, what are we going to do?"

A round-faced old man with a pigtail and a pigtail braided glanced at the few people present and asked out loud.

A thin old man said helplessly: "Now that Wang Yue has blocked the entire Jiangnan and cut off the Cao Yun, our goods can't get in, and the goods in Jiangnan can't get out, even if there is silver, we can't buy grain and grass." Knowing that Lu Dao was like this, the old man would not have taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, hey, regret should not have been in the beginning. ”

Huang Taiji and Dolgon have given them a death order to these Jin merchants, they must let the Cao Yun flow smoothly, if the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River cannot go north, the grain and grass in the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be very tight.

However, Wang Yue had already cut off the transportation and blockaded the entire Jiangnan, and the rice, salt and other materials in the Jiangnan could not be transported at all.

The Manchus were now not short of silver, and Li Zicheng looted 70 million taels of silver from the city of Beijing, and now they all fell into the hands of the Manchus.

However, there was silver, but there was no way to buy anything, which made Huang Taiji and Dorgon very aggrieved.

Huang Taiji and Dolgon also had no choice, so they asked the Jin merchants who came over to find a way.

"Why don't we go talk to Wang Yue? It doesn't matter if the price of grain is raised by a few percent, or doubled. An old man spoke.

"Talk to Wang Yue? That's looking for death, we betrayed the Han people and took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, do you think Wang Yue will let us go? I think it's better to let Dolgon lead his troops south, as long as we occupy Jiangnan, then there will be food and salt and other materials. The round-faced old man said.

Now these Jin merchants also regret it, and they will no longer be able to seek medical treatment from Wang Yue in the future. However, since the Ming Dynasty betrayed the Han people, they could only follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the dark.

The thin old man also nodded and said, "That's the only way." There's nothing we can do about it. If you want food, you can only let the army go south and fetch it yourself. ”

............

Beijing City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Huang Taiji sat in front of the bookcase, looked at Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou, and asked, "Two Aiqing, how many Han ministers are there who have taken refuge in my Qing Dynasty now?"

Zu Dashou smiled bitterly and said, "Back to the emperor, there are less than twenty people." ”

Huang Taiji frowned and asked, "There are less than twenty people, how can it be so few?" Didn't I say it, as long as they promise to do things for my Qing Dynasty, the benefits are indispensable to them, and what official positions they used to have in the Ming Dynasty, and now I still give them what official positions." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Your Majesty, since Fan Wencheng died, there have been no Han ministers who have taken refuge in them, and now that the Qing Dynasty has captured the city of Beijing, we coerce and lure only about 20 Han ministers who are willing to go out of the mountain, and other Han ministers want to go south." ”

Huang Taiji said coldly: "Those ministers, they must not let them go south, even if they die, they must also let them die in Beijing City." ”

Huang Taiji secretly hated in his heart, Wang Yue's move to kill Fan Wencheng was too ruthless, when he was in Shengjing, Huang Taiji didn't feel that now that he had captured Beijing City, the territory was too big, and there was no Han minister to manage it, which could be described as chaos.

If this chaos continues, if Wang Yue does not wait for Wang Yue to lead troops to attack, the Qing Dynasty itself will collapse.

Huang Taiji believed that three years later, when he went to ask Wang Yue for treatment again, Wang Yue would definitely make even more excessive demands, maybe he would kill Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou himself.

If Huang Taiji really killed Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou again, I am afraid that there will never be a Han minister to serve the Manchus again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good. A eunuch hurried into the imperial study.

"What's the matter?"

Huang Taiji asked with a frown.

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now there are rumors in the whole capital that if the Manchu people want to find Wang Yue for treatment, they will take the head of a Han official or merchant who defected to the Qing Dynasty. No matter how big or small the official position is, Wang Yue only recognizes the head, and when he has the head, he treats the Manchurian people. ”

Huang Taiji stood up in shock: "What? Wang Yue really said that?"

The little eunuch nodded and said, "Rumors, Your Majesty, are just rumors." ”

Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou's faces were also quite ugly, Wang Yue's move was too vicious, and it was completely to force them to death as Han people who took refuge. And Wang Yue didn't do it himself, let the Manchurians come to kill.

Those nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty all knew the name of the divine doctor of Wang Yue. Huang Taiji's illness was not even available to the imperial doctor, but Wang Yue could easily treat it.

As long as those Manchu people are sick, ordinary doctors can't cure them, they will think of Wang Yue, and it is very cost-effective to exchange the head of a Han official for treatment.

What are the Han people in the eyes of the Manchus? Kill the minions, the Manchurians will not have a burden in their hearts.

"Two Aiqing, Wang Yue has now released such a rumor, what do you say, how should I deal with it in the Qing Dynasty?" the emperor looked at Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou and asked anxiously.

If Fan Wencheng was still there, Huang Taiji encountered something that he couldn't handle, and he was definitely the first to ask Fan Wencheng, but Fan Wencheng died, and now he can only rely on Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou said: "Your Majesty, for a while, Weichen has no good way, so let's go back and think about it, maybe we can come up with a way." ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "It's okay." The two Aiqing will go back first, hoping to come up with a way. The two Aiqing rest assured that I would never let the Manchus exchange the heads of Han officials for the opportunity to treat their diseases. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen retired. ”

Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou retreated.

Huang Taiji's face turned pale, and he roared: "Wang Yue, Wang Yue! I want you to die, I want you to die." ”

............

"Brother Yan Yan (Hong Chengchou), what should we do? Wang Yue's move is too ruthless, he is going to cut off the way of life of all Han people who were officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If this problem can't be solved, you and I will also end up like Fan Wencheng. ”

Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou walked side by side, their eyes full of worry.

Hong Chengchou said helplessly: "What can I do? Now as long as the Manchu people carry the heads of Han officials to see Wang Yue, they will be able to live a long life without illness and disaster." The Manchurians will never be soft when they kill us Han people. I regret it now, I regret taking refuge in the Manchus. ”
