Time flies by like a white horse. pomfret
The world is like a white cloud and a gray dog.
Three days later at Youshi.
The half-covered sunset quietly dyed half of the sky red.
A carriage painted with the emblem of Shanggu County was guarded by dozens of government officials.
Driving slowly and slowly through half of the sunset.
Inside the carriage of the county government carriage.
Sun Daohua, with a sad face, was leaning on the soft couch in the carriage. pomfret
With furrowed brows, he looked through the car curtain at the scene that kept flashing by the window.
As far as the eye can see.
It's all about dilapidation and depression.
On the bustling streets that used to be crowded with people.
Nowadays, there are very few people around.
Several figures appeared by chance, all of them in groups, holding self-defense weapons.
And everyone was in a hurry. pomfret
It seems that he doesn't want to stay on the street for a long time even for a breath.
On the other hand, look at the shops and homes on both sides of the street.
Almost every door and window is closed.
It was as if the streets that used to be crowded with people were filled with inexplicable crises.
Inside the carriage of the county government carriage.
After watching quietly for a while.
Sun Daohua sighed silently and weakly lowered the car curtain aside. pomfret
Since February 20th to present.
In just three days.
The county government received more than 300 reports.
More than 300 cases involved more than 700 lives.
And these more than 700 lives were all maliciously killed.
For a time, everyone inside and outside Juyang City was in panic.
Even if the people outside the city are in small groups, they dare not step out of the village easily. pomfret
If the people in the city have nothing extremely urgent to do, the streets will be as usual after Shenshi, and it will be difficult to find anyone.
It's no exaggeration to say so.
Juyang City, where the people are all in danger, is no different from the "solid walls and clear wilderness".
Vegetables, fish, shrimp, poultry, game, medicinal materials and other items from outside the city cannot enter the city.
Necessary daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. cannot leave the city.
In response to this situation, the county government did not think about arresting the murderer.
In order to calm the fear in the hearts of the people in Juyang City. pomfret
This allowed Juyang City, which had been almost half paralyzed, to resume normal operations again.
However, there is no pattern in the crimes committed by this group of people.
And all of them have extraordinary skills.
The number of government officials and county soldiers in Juyang City is naturally limited.
If a team of ten people formed a team, they would not be able to cover very far before they would run out of manpower.
If you are in a team of two or three, you will definitely die if you encounter a thief.
Just yesterday. pomfret
Nearly a hundred government officials and county soldiers died in the line of duty.
Six other officials and a chief registrar were brutally murdered at home by thieves.
Unknowingly, fear has spread to the county government.
Although Sun Daohua was furious, he had no solution to the matter.
Without any choice.
Sun Daohua had to turn to Xu Yi secretly.
Although the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion found a few thieves before noon today. pomfret
But unexpectedly, when the thieves saw that they were defeated, they killed themselves with poison.
Moreover, every time one of the thieves dies, ten government officials, county soldiers, and common people will die within an hour.
And the bodies of the dead were all engraved with warning words by the thieves.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The county government carriage gradually stopped in front of Wangyue Tower.
"Master, we've arrived at Wangyue Tower."
The driver stopped the carriage, then walked to the carriage and saluted respectfully. pomfret
Inside the carriage of the county government carriage.
Sun Daohua took a few deep breaths and waited until the fluctuations in his heart completely subsided.
Fang walked out of the carriage and headed straight towards Wangyue Tower.
"We pay our respects to the governor."
Several county officials saw this and hurriedly bowed their hands.
"Is everyone here?"
Sun Daohua kept walking and asked in a deep voice. pomfret
"Back to the county guard, everyone has arrived."
One of the officials hurriedly bowed forward and answered.
It was different from the conference five days ago.
The people invited to this cultural gathering today are no one else except the aristocratic families and powerful country squires in Juyang City.
"good."
Sun Daohua straightened his clothes and walked towards the third floor slowly and quickly.
...Pomfret
...
at the same time.
In the east of Juyang City, in the study of the side hall of Chengyun Hall of Prince Yan's residence.
Xu Yi sat upright on the Taishi chair as usual.
He looked through the documents in his hand with an extremely serious expression.
Eight days have passed since the all-army competition on February 15th.
Although there are still three days before the real army competition. pomfret
However, it is almost certain that more than half of the five thousand soldiers sent to Mobei this time.
"It seems that Qu Baotian is destined to stay in the military camp this time."
Two quarters of an hour later.
Xu Yi put down the last document in his hand.
When Fang was about to stand up and stretch his muscles a little.
Suddenly, an extremely slight and familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the closed study room of Chengyun Hall.
The moment I heard the sound of footsteps. pomfret
Xu Yi slightly spread his arms and then sat upright on the Taishi chair again.
"Enter."
Without waiting for Chief Wenxin to knock on the door, Xu Yi spoke directly and gave instructions.
"yes."
Leader Wen Xin, who was about to knock on the door outside the study, was slightly startled, agreed, and then gently pushed the door open and entered.
"Have you ever caught anyone alive?"
When the leader of Wenxin approached, Xu Yi couldn't help but ask. pomfret
The leader of Asking Heart immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"Return to the master."
"My subordinates used poisonous needles to capture the two thieves."
Leader Qin Xin lowered his head and reported in a low voice.
"Those two thieves are dead now?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this.
"No...not dead."
"Still... still in the stable's Western Region cage."
"My subordinate... my subordinate... I am incompetent. I tried all my methods but still couldn't pry those two people's mouths open."
The leader of the inquiry bowed his head deeply and answered with his hands.
Hear this.
Xu Yi's originally slightly frowned brows couldn't help but tighten in an instant.
Ask the leader of the heart what his interrogation methods are.
Xu Yi knew it in his heart. pomfret
Now that Leader Wenxin has exhausted all his methods, he still cannot pry open the mouths of those two people.
One can imagine what an elite death warrior this must be.
And the power that can cultivate such dead soldiers.
Wealth, power, and heritage are indispensable.
And among the three, the most important ones are not wealth and power.
But the background.
Don't look at Xu Yi's reputation in Yan Di now that no one can match. pomfret
But even he would find it difficult to cultivate such dead warriors from the people of Yan in a short period of time.
And what it lacks is precisely the so-called foundation.
Perhaps, it can also be understood as time.
Enough time to be impressed.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi frowned and sat on the Taishi chair.
After thinking quietly for half a quarter of an hour, the frown gradually relaxed. pomfret
"Male Gu Dengyun to escort one of them to the county government office with great fanfare at noon tomorrow and hand him over to Commander Sun."
"And secretly released the news that Prince Yan's Mansion already has conclusive evidence."
"The other person will be escorted to the capital soon."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
When the leader of Wenxin heard this, he suddenly understood, and then he bowed his hands again.
"Starting from tomorrow."
"All the Wenxin Hundred Guards and Red Blood Guards in the mansion went out of the city to hunt."
"No one will be left alive in this hunt."
Xu Yi waved his hands slightly, his words full of cold murderous intent.
"Wenxin Baiwei takes orders!"
The leader of Wenxin was shocked when he heard this, and then he raised his head and saluted heavily with fists in his hands.
The words are over.
Leader Qin Xin slowly exited the study. pomfret
Waiting for the leader Wenxin to completely disappear from the study of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi stood up from the imperial chair with an indifferent expression, and then walked slowly and quickly to the closed window sill.
As the closed window sill gradually unfolded.
Wisps of breeze instantly passed through the window sill and caressed my face.
Xu Yi stood with his back straight next to the open window sill.
Staring expressionlessly at the setting sun with only a little blood red remaining on the horizon.
And his deep gaze was filled with cold murderous intent. pomfret
I do not know how long it has been.
The last trace of blood red in the western sky slowly dispersed.
Night fell completely at this moment.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Standing in the thick night, Xu Yi gradually closed his sour eyes.
Tens of breaths later.
Xu Yi opened his eyes again and closed the wide window sill. pomfret
Then he walked by the familiar road to the desk.
After a while, little sparks gradually illuminated most of the study room.
Xu Yixing came to the Taishi's chair and sat down safely.
Then he closed his eyes slightly and waited for the Wangyuelou literary party to end.
...
...
It was nearly half of the Xu period. pomfret
As the night gets darker.
There was finally some sound outside the study room in Chengyun Hall's side hall, which was deathly silent.
"Dong dong dong."
"Sixth Master."
Yang Xian'an stood outside the closed door wearing an official robe of Prince Yan's palace.
"Enter."
Inside the closed door, Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the figure emerging on the door and window. pomfret
"yes."
After getting the answer, Yang Xian straightened his clothes and then gently opened the door and entered.
"How will this article go?"
When Yang Xianan came closer, Xu Yi asked.
"Go back to Mr. Liu."
"This article gathering raised a total of thirty-two thousand dan of food."
Yang Xian'an calmed down briefly and answered with his hands. pomfret
"Thirty-two thousand stones."
Xu Yi murmured in a low voice after hearing this.
In this article, Prince Yan's Mansion produced thousands of grains.
The Zhu family and the Fan family contributed 7,000 shi and 5,000 shi respectively.
This means that there are only two families in Juyang City except Zhu and Fan.
The other large and small aristocratic families and powerful squires contributed a total of ten thousand tons of food.
Xu Yi pondered for a few breaths, and then said: "From tomorrow onwards, the palace will not accept any guests."
"Officials, servants, etc. in the house, except those holding charter tokens."
"The rest are not allowed to go out."
"at the same time."
"Send orders to Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian."
"After the whole army's competition is over."
"If you transfer the first five troops, they can be fully armed and stationed in the mansion."
After hearing this, Yang Xianan's expression suddenly froze. pomfret
"Six...Master Liu, what is this?"
Yang Xian'an asked stumblingly.
"nothing."
"It's just that the fish this time are a little tough."
"You need to make appropriate concessions."
The corners of Xu Yi's mouth raised slightly, outlining an extremely cold smile.
Hearing this, Yang Xian'an raised his hands and saluted, seemingly understanding, and said, "Follow the order."
Not long after.
After everything was done, Yang Xianan resigned.
After Yang Xianan's figure completely disappeared from the study in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi sat on the Imperial Master's chair with his eyelids slightly drooped for more than a quarter of an hour.
More than a quarter of an hour later.
Xu Yi slowly stood up and extinguished the lamp beside him.
From this moment on, the huge study room in the side hall of Chengyun Hall lost all its light. pomfret
Completely in the thick of darkness.
At the same time, south of Juyang City.
A carriage with the county government logo on it was guarded by dozens of government officials.
He walked slowly and quickly to the main gate of the county government office.
"Master, we have arrived at the county government office."
The driver jumped off the carriage and walked to the back of the carriage, then bowed his hands and saluted.
Inside the carriage of the county government carriage. pomfret
Sun Daohua, who was full of thoughts, slowly opened his eyes after hearing this.
After the messy thoughts are completely calmed down.
Sun Daohua just came out of the carriage.
Fang Yi walked out of the carriage.
Then I saw the official from a few days ago standing respectfully beside the carriage with something in his hand.
"Sheriff, that man is here again."
Seeing Sun Daohua appear, the official hurriedly stepped forward with a bowed waist and a famous thorn in his hand. pomfret
"Lobby?"
Sun Daohua nodded noncommittally, took the famous assassination from the official's hand, and then asked.
"Ah?" The official was stunned for a few breaths after hearing this, and then nodded repeatedly and said: "In the lobby, in the lobby."
Hear this.
Sun Daohua put away his famous thorn and strode towards the depths of the county government office without saying a word.
After a while.
In front of the county government hall. pomfret
As soon as Sun Daohua stepped onto the platform, he saw Wang Ping walking towards him calmly.
"Governor Sun."
Wang Pingping came closer, smiled lightly and bowed his hands.
"Let's talk about it in the study."
Sun Daohua paused, returned the salute slightly, and then strode towards the county government hall again.
See this.
The smile on Wang Ping's lips suddenly became stronger. pomfret
Not long after.
In the study room of the side hall of the county government office.
Sun Daohua and Wang Ping sat opposite each other again after many days.
"On February 15th, after the competition between the entire army in King Yan's camp."
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan once looked for me and Governor Pang."
"That day we were having a secret conversation at Prince Yan's Mansion."
"His Royal Highness King Yan once asked me and Governor Pang for two letters of appointment."
"Wang Wenlian, who was born in the 21st year of Zhengde, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of disaster relief in Shanggu County and the commander-in-chief of disaster relief in Yuyang County respectively."
Sun Daohua poured two cups of tea and spoke unhurriedly.
"oh?"
"So it seems that His Highness Prince Yan is planning to carry out work-for-relief measures again?"
"But all the large and small rivers in Yandi will be cleared in the near future."
“Where else can they work for relief?”
Wang Ping took the tea cup handed by Sun Daohua and frowned slightly. pomfret
"Nv Qicheng."
Sun Daohua replied in a deep voice.
"What?!"
"He wants to rebuild Nuqi City?!"
Wang Ping, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
"It's Nu Qicheng."
"I once heard His Highness King Yan mention a few words."
"His Royal Highness King Yan said that the girl Qicheng has gone through more than fifty years of ups and downs."
"Nowadays, Nuqi City is densely covered with all kinds of medicinal herbs."
"The rivers inside are filled with huge fish and shrimps."
"As for wild boars, wild dogs, hares, etc., there are countless others."
"The most important thing is that the old land of Nuqicheng is extremely suitable for grazing horses."
Sun Daohua nodded slightly, and then replied in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Wang Ping's expression suddenly changed several times. pomfret
For it.
Sun Daohua can tell such a confidential matter.
This already means that Sun Daohua has agreed to the previous matter.
Instead of officially standing on the same front.
If it's another time.
Wang Ping didn't show it on his face, but he was already elated in his heart.
But at this moment. pomfret
Deep down in Wang Ping's heart, there was no joy at all.
Instead, it felt full of heaviness.
Ruona Nuqicheng's old land is just rich in resources.
No matter how abundant its natural resources are, it is difficult to stop the hungry millions of people from eating it.
But at the same time, the old land of Nuqicheng was rich in natural resources.
It is also extremely suitable as a horse breeding ground for raising horses.
