On the official road leading to Tazhai Village.
Xun Yu was riding in the carriage with a calm face and no trace of panic.
For him, the dignitaries from various countries in the Western Regions, led by Donglou Yi and Yan Chong, formed a group to cause chaos. However, everything is under control, and he can use his tricks to catch all these people.
The difficulty in governing the Western Regions lies not with ordinary people, but with the powerful elites in the Western Regions.
The powerful people in the Western Region are dead and everything is stable.
If Xun Yu were to govern in the country, he would have come from a big family, and the Xun family's network of connections was too large. The Xun family had connections with all the big families in Yingchuan, and also had relationships with other big families in the world.
Many things were difficult for Xun Yu to handle, and he couldn't use them even if he had the means.
But it's different now.
Xun Yu was in the Western Regions and had no worries. No one could fetter Xun Yu with human feelings.
Although the Western Region seemed barren and bare, with Gobi and desert everywhere, Xun Yu believed that it was like a blank piece of paper that could be smeared and arranged at his will.
This is the most important point.
Zhang Meng was sitting next to Xun Yu. The expression on his face was constantly thinking, and he suddenly said: "Manager Xun, I always feel that something is wrong with the problem in Tazhai Village this time."
Xun Yu glanced sideways and chuckled in his heart.
Did you just react now?
Xun Yu asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Meng sat up straight and said: "Tazhai Village is very close to Qiancheng, and is currently the center of the Western Region. It is really unbelievable that Tianzhu's army appears in such an area to massacre people."
"In addition, hundreds of people were killed in Tazhai Village."
"Hundreds of people were killed, and it seemed to happen quietly. It is definitely not possible for a dozen or twenty people to succeed. Otherwise, if only a few dozen people took action, some of the villagers in Tazhai Village would definitely be able to escape."
"The current situation is that no one escaped, they were all killed."
"There's a problem."
"If a large number of Tianzhu cavalry or infantry appear, it is impossible for us not to have any information, and we cannot not know it all the time. Therefore, I believe that there is a problem in Tazhai Village."
Zhang Meng cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Xun."
Xun Yu remained calm and asked: "You think there is a problem in Tazhai Village. What is the problem?"
Zhang Meng said: "Perhaps the murderer is not from Tianzhu."
Xun Yu took advantage of the situation and asked, "Who is that person?"
Zhang Meng's expression suddenly froze.
This is what he doubted.
Zhang Meng just couldn't figure it out and didn't understand that so many people died suddenly. After thinking about it, he had no direction for the time being and said: "Manager Xun, I just can't think clearly and don't understand that so many people died suddenly. Could it be? Vendetta?”
Xun Yu said: "If it was a vendetta, it would have to affect the people of an entire village. How much hatred would it take for someone to destroy an entire village."
Zhang Meng shook his head, looking like he didn't understand, and said, "I really don't understand."
Xun Yu said: "If you think about it carefully, who might take action? In other words, what problems and conflicts are currently happening under Qianqian City. Also, whose interests have been affected by the actions of Ming officials like us? .Everything is ultimately a transaction of interests.”
When Zhang Meng heard Xun Yu's words, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind. It was like an enlightenment. He suddenly had a clear understanding and said in a deep voice: "The nearest city is Gancheng. The people there are stable and everything is going well."
"There is only one thing that is most troublesome, and that is that many dignitaries from the Western Regions accuse you."
"It's unfair of you to leave them idle."
"And said you were unfair and so on."
"It is known to everyone that the dignitaries in the Western Region have grievances against you."
Zhang Meng looked at Xun Yu and said, "Is it possible that these people are trying to use the incident in Tazhai Village to further deal with Manager Xun? These people are giving you a warning so that you cannot solve the problems in Tazhai Village and resign. "
Xun Yu shook his head and chuckled.
After all, Zhang Meng still lacks talent.
Zhang Meng's previous analysis seemed to Xun Yu to be like that, and his thinking was very clear. But in the end, Zhang Meng made the decision that these powerful people in the Western Regions were not going to rob or kill him, but to make him take the blame and resign.
There is a problem with this.
This is just looking at the problem, which is not thorough enough.
Zhang Meng noticed Xun Yu's expression, smiled coquettishly, and asked: "Manager Xun, is there something wrong with what you said about being humble? Isn't it right?"
Xun Yu said: "It's a little short."
Zhang Meng thought carefully again, his pupils shrank, and his scalp felt numb, and he said: "Could it be that these people are so bold that they killed the villagers in Tazhai Village and created a big incident to lure you out of the city. Is this against you?"
Xun Yu smiled and said, "That's right."
Zhang Meng's expression became even more tense, and he felt that his heart was in chaos. However, he noticed Xun Yu's calm and composed appearance, and then thought of Xun Yu being so relaxed, as if he was out for an outing.
Take advantage of the situation!
Lure the snake out of its hole!
Zhang Meng suddenly came to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said: "Manager Xun, you are taking too many risks. Now, you are taking risks to lure the enemy. If something impossible happens, you will be in trouble."
Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "Everything is under control. There is nothing to worry about."
Zhang Meng nodded.
He thought something was about to happen and felt a little nervous, so he waited quietly.
The carriage moved forward and arrived at Tazhai Village smoothly.
Xun Yu and Zhang Meng got off the carriage. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw corpses lying on the ground. The blood had already dried hard and turned into dark purple blood stains. Every corpse has been dried to hardness.
Xun Yu went up and took a look. Most of the people had their chests pierced by a sword or their necks cut open by a sword.
They are all clean killing methods.
The whole village was completely empty.
Xun Yu's eyes also flashed with anger, and there was a strong murderous intention. These dignitaries in the Western Regions really deserve to die. If they are not killed, the people will not be angry, and if they are not killed, they will not be able to bring peace to the world. Only when these people die can the Western Regions be stable.
Although Zhang Meng had seen scenes of killing, but at this moment, he saw unarmed people being killed one by one, and saw faces of fear and despair. His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "General Manager, these dignitaries from the Western Regions, It’s really damning. These people are going to kill even unarmed people. It’s really damning.”
Xun Yu said: "They really deserve to die."
tread! tread! !
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the village entrance.
The moment Xun Yu heard the sound, he looked outside and noticed a group of people coming outside Xun Zi.
There were almost three hundred people in this group.
They are all capable soldiers.
When Xun Yu saw these people, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind. These people broke into the village unscrupulously and killed everyone they saw. In addition, a group of people were left to guard at the entrance of the village, and those who ran out were killed.
So much so that no one escaped.
Xun Yu stood at the entrance of the village without any panic. The thirty or so personal guards he had brought with him had already gathered, and they all formed a circle around Xun Yu, surrounding Xun Yu.
All the personal guards were the best of the best, and were from the Forbidden Army under Xu Chu.
Lu Xuan got the news and arranged for Xu Chu to transfer Xun Yu who was specifically responsible for protecting him. While inside the city, some of the soldiers followed Xun Yu openly, while others protected him secretly.
This time when they left the city, everyone came out.
More than thirty people were holding sharp knives, their expressions were solemn, and there was no trace of panic.
Zhang Meng saw his own people, and then saw that there were more than 300 enemies. Gudong swallowed his saliva and said, "Manager, the situation is very bad. Are we going to hold on to it now?"
Xun Yu said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Meng didn't know the plan, so he said: "I trust the manager in this humble position."
Xun Yu said: "Since you choose to believe it, just watch with peace of mind. They are just a bunch of stupid thieves, not worth mentioning."
Zhang Meng nodded.
It was too late, but soon, the private soldiers of Shule State, Yanqi State and other countries' heads and dignitaries had already approached, and a group of people launched an attack. It's just that the imperial guards guarding Xun Yu were all as elite as ten, and they could even be stronger.
Under this premise, even though the private soldiers of the powerful people in the Western Regions were powerful, they were blocked for a while and could not get closer.
Among the powerful soldiers from various countries in the Western Region, the leader was named Donglou Bu, and he was Donglou Yi's retainer.
The man in the east tower was carrying a sword. He shouted loudly: "Charge over, break down their defenses, and kill Xun Yu. You will be rewarded heavily."
"Behead Xun Yu!"
"Behead Xun Yu!"
Other people also shouted.
Xun Yu is the key this time. If Xun Yu is killed, the plan will be completed.
If Xun Yu did not die, nothing would be possible.
After Xun Yu heard this, he didn't panic at all and still stood calmly.
The two sides were fighting, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Eight of the imperial guards around Xun Yu were killed in the battle, but the defense was still sound. On the contrary, there were corpses of dead and powerful soldiers all around. The more than three hundred people who came to rob and kill Xun Yu actually suffered many casualties.
A large number of people came and were killed one after another.
So much so that the situation reached a stalemate.
The Donglou Department was anxious and did not want the situation to remain stagnant or continue the current situation. He shouted loudly: "Soldiers, kill Xun Yu, kill all the people around Xun Yu, and rush over!"
He kept encouraging.
Today, everyone around Xun Yu must be killed.
One by one, they were encouraged by the East Building Department and moved forward bravely, sprinting continuously.
As these people were sprinting, suddenly, the rumble of horse hooves was heard not far away.
The sound of horse hooves was rapid, trampling the ground.
As soon as the East Tower heard the sound of horse hooves, he looked behind where the sound came from. On the official road, I saw only a group of Ming cavalry wearing black armor, riding tall horses, and holding war horses, galloping towards them.
This cavalry is very fast.
They seemed like a torrent, rushing from behind, and reached the rear of the east tower in a blink of an eye.
The leader is clearly Guan Yu.
Wearing armor, he raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand and said loudly: "A group of dirty and despicable villains unexpectedly attacked Manager Xun and sought death."
"Kill me!"
Guan Yu quickly ordered.
The accompanying cavalry sprinted forward, swung their swords and slashed them down.
Blood splattered and bodies lay everywhere.
The people led by the East Tower were immediately dispersed, and they were all panic-stricken and extremely panicked.
The same goes for the Donglou Department itself. There was a momentary absence in his eyes, and there was a deep sense of astonishment. He had no idea that he was here to rob and kill Xun Yu, but why suddenly, a cavalry group appeared behind him.
Dongloubu came to his senses instantly. He loudly ordered a retreat and led his men to quickly break through.
However, under Guan Yu's massacre, the dignitaries from all over the world led by Donglou were killed one after another and could not escape at all.
The situation was reversed in an instant.
At the last moment, Xun Yu and the people around him were still on defense. Now, turning from defense to attack, a large number of soldiers rushed out and joined forces with Guan Yu's men to attack. They swept over quickly like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
In less than a quarter of an hour, most of the people in the east tower were killed, and the rest were all captured.
The East Tower itself was also captured.
Guan Yu came to Xun Yu. With a faint smile on his face, he cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Xun, everything has been dealt with."
Xun Yu nodded and said: "General Guan, thank you for your hard work."
Guan Yu looked serious and said solemnly: "General Manager Xun, you're welcome. This is the responsibility of the general."
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly."
Suddenly, a childish but panicked voice came into Xun Yu's ears.
Xun Yu has long been familiar with the language of the Western Regions. Now he can not only understand it, but also speak some of it. He looked back and saw a teenage boy appearing at the entrance of the village, holding an old man and shaking him.
The child was young, very thin, and completely skinny.
This looks like malnutrition.
After Xun Yu saw it, he turned around and walked back. However, Guan Yu was walking in front of Xun Yu in an instant and said, "Mr. Xun, be careful."
Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Don't worry, General Guan, this is not the plan of the powerful people in the Western Regions. These high-ranking people disdain to take advantage of these ordinary people, and are even more arrogant to look down on these people, so there will be no problem."
Xun Yu walked over and asked in a somewhat awkward local dialect: "Kid, are there anyone else in your family?"
"there is none left."
The child held his head high and said, "My name is Amati, and I have a grandfather in my family. Now my grandfather doesn't want me anymore, and I don't have a grandfather anymore."
Amati burst into tears.
Because he was too thin, he looked a little weird with a big head.
This is the current situation of the people in the Western Regions.
Life is not easy for most people, because the powerful people in the Western Regions don't care much about the people living at the bottom.
Xun Yu looked at Amati and the dead people around him, and suddenly he had an idea in his heart.
