Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen has been waiting for this golden opportunity.
It is not accurate to say that it is a once-in-a-lifetime event. To be more precise, Qi Zhen has set her sights on the position where the two of them are standing right from the beginning of the third stage of the battle.
The crowd dodged, Ji Ling retreated steadily, and where Qi Zhen was standing, there happened to be the gleaming and extremely sharp steel knife at hand.
Then the Sharingan skill was activated instantly. In Ji Ling's confused moment, Qi Zhen just raised the knife and wiped it across Ji Ling's neck.
Unlike Yuan Shu's situation, Qi Zhen was not sure of killing Ji Ling by other means at that moment. He simply judged that he needed a weapon, a weapon that could resolve the battle in an instant and make the opponent lose the ability to resist.
So this long knife came in handy, as if it had been prepared for Qi Zhen in advance.
Originally, it was impossible for Ji Ling to be defeated so quickly. Even though he was already tired of dealing with Qi Zhen's attacks, if he wanted to kill him with his bare hands, Qi Zhen thought it might take an extremely long time.
But Qi Zhen doesn't have that much time.
Ji Ling covered his neck, waiting for his copper bell-like eyes to look at Qi Zhen, a roaring sound in his throat, and then he fell down.
Like a mountain.
With a muffled bang, Ji Ling's body fell to the ground and died.
Qi Zhen doesn't know whether he has a lot of unwillingness in his heart, and he doesn't have the extra energy to think. Qi Zhen must leave here as quickly as possible. It is conceivable that things here will soon be overturned. Everyone who has the right to know it knows it. At that time, they still don’t know what is waiting for them.
Qi Zhen threw the long knife on the ground with a bang, startling the soldiers and servants who were watching.
Who would have thought that this god of death, wrapped in black armor, could actually kill General Ji Ling?
Then something happened that made them frightened. The face covered in black armor had a heart-stopping smile, slowly sweeping across everyone's face.
Everyone who was seen stiffened instantly, worried that they would be the next target of the killer.
However, Qi Zhen did not kill anyone else. He turned around and took a few steps to run, jumped up to the roof, and then disappeared in front of everyone after a few ups and downs.
It was at this time that a huge commotion suddenly broke out among the onlookers.
Then, they found Yuan Shu's body in the main hall, and the confusion became even worse.
The chief steward of the mansion rarely calmed down at this time, and ordered his servants and soldiers to quickly notify Yuan Shu's chief secretary and the chief historian.
Once a county guard dies unexpectedly, Chang Shi will be the number one person who controls the administrative power in the county. Moreover, at this time, asking Yang Hong to take charge of the overall situation is almost the only way out for everyone.
Soon, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang arrived at the governor's mansion after learning the news. The moment they saw the tragic situation inside and outside the door, they both knew that things were really in trouble.
The news of the deaths of Yuan Shu and Ji Ling must not be made public. This is the first point of consensus that the two can reach.
Both of them had clear suspicions about the identity of the murderer, and it was naturally Qi Zhen.
An order was issued to immediately start a city-wide manhunt for Qi Zhen, and the two generals Zhang Xunqiao and Rui who had been replaced were notified to come back to take charge of Nanyang City's defense. After Ji Ling's death, no one else could stabilize the military morale of Nanyang City except these two. .
The two issued a series of orders one after another, all aimed at minimizing the impact of Yuan Shu and Ji Ling's death.
Nanyang City cannot be in chaos.
Qi Zhen did not leave Nanyang, he still had something to do.
She thanked Xiaobai in her heart, but Qi Zhen was not disappointed when she received no response from him.
That's right, the reason why Ji Ling was able to defeat or even kill Ji Ling so quickly was precisely because of Qi Zhen's three incredible anti-physics operations, and these three anti-physics operations, as if they were dead objects, the black armor couldn't do it on its own. It was completed, but Xiaobai was there to help.
If not, then the outcome between Qi Zhen and Ji Ling is yet to be determined.
Perhaps he was too afraid of the detection and scanning that would happen at some point in the system, so Xiaobai disappeared after performing those three operations.
However, it has helped Qi Zhen too much.
Qi Zhen must now make a judgment on the current situation in Nanyang. This does not refer to the city of Nanyang, but to the county of Nanyang.
Fortunately, Qi Zhen did not kill Yuan Shu rashly, but used her Sharingan to search for information from his mind first.
From Yuan Shu's mind, he knew why the entire Nanyang City was so busy during the day, and also knew the roles played by Yan Xiang and Yang Hong in the entire incident.
Perhaps these are not that important. The most important thing is that Qi Zhen finally understood what Yuan Shu wanted to do.
As expected, there is not a single fool in the Three Kingdoms.
Qi Zhen thought angrily that she had arrived at an inconspicuous house.
Yang Hong and Yan Xiang did not exchange too many greetings after handling the matters related to the governor's mansion. Although they both trusted Yuan Shu, they still had great doubts about each other's loyalty.
Now that Yuan Shu is dead, I am afraid only the two of them know how much trust they still have based on Yuan Shu's time.
The orders just given by the two people have been communicated to various places in different categories through different officials and channels. These orders or actions are things that both parties can reach an agreement on, whether it is for the stability of Nanyang City or to ensure the peace and harmony of the people. For the stability of military morale, these things must be done.
At the critical moment of the transfer of power, no one can take such a huge risk to change the status quo of Nanyang City without authorization. As the saying goes, there is no turning back. Since things have started according to Yuan Shu's idea, it has become a problem to stop now. An unrealistic thing.
Both of them knew that would only make the situation worse.
Except for key military and administrative decisions, the county governor does not need to pay attention to the affairs in the city or the entire county at ordinary times. Naturally, there are divided officials to manage them. From this perspective, ensuring social stability is not the responsibility of one person. What can be completely affected is the concerted efforts of civil and military officials at all levels.
After the two settled the matter, they looked at each other. At least on the surface, there was no excessive hatred, but they both saw uncontrollable exhaustion in each other's eyes.
Especially Yan Xiang. He is not young. He has been traveling back and forth since Qi Zhen came to the door. He is extremely exhausted at this time.
However, in order to make Yuan Shu no longer doubt himself, he almost tried his best. No one knew whether Yuan Shu would kill the donkey after this incident, so he had to do this.
But now that Yuan Shu is dead, Yan Xiang can't help but feel a little confused after he and Yang Hong have dealt with this emergency.
This feeling of confusion is naturally confused about the future of himself and Nanyang as a whole.
Not to mention what will happen to Nanyang City in the future, just that now that Yuan Shu and Ji Ling have been lost, Nanyang County is already in a precarious situation, and now there is no backbone to teach others what to do.
After saying goodbye to Yuan Hong, Yan Xiang hurriedly returned to his residence, exhausted. He still needed to sort out the work of connecting officials in Nanyang City, so the chief clerk could not help but relax.
What surprised him was that neither the old concierge nor the housekeeper who was supposed to be waiting for his return did not go out to greet him.
He had just left in a hurry, and the lights in the study had not been turned off. He walked back to his own yard with doubts, but was surprised to find the silhouette projected on the window lattice.
A look of helpless panic flashed in his eyes, but then his emotions calmed down instantly, and he walked to the door and slowly opened the closed study.
"Master Yan can still be so calm, which is indeed beyond my expectation."
Qi Zhen put down the bamboo slips in her hands and spoke straight to the point without using the "Uncle Yan" voice she used in the morning.
"I didn't expect you to dare to break into my mansion like this." Yan Xiang said with a serious face.
"Since you didn't turn around and left just now, and then called people to catch me, you must be a little curious. What should I say here, but you are not afraid that I will kill you here?" Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"You can't." Yan Xiang said.
"Oh? Why is this?" Qi Zhen asked.
"From the perspective of force, if you can kill the general, it is not very difficult for you to kill me. I am just curious, after I betrayed you with my backhand, how can you still dare to use Me? Why don’t you go find Yang Hong? "
Yan Xiang did not answer Qi Zhen's question directly, but directly expressed his doubts.
Yes, both Qi Zhen and Yan Xiang know that the entire Nanyang City is now leaderless. Although it is possible for Qi Zhen to kill everyone in Nanyang City with just his own ability, if he wants Nanyang County to be stable, he must rely on the help of the people in the city. the power of.
And now, besides Yang Hong, the person who can take charge of the affairs in Nanyang City is Yan Xiang.
"Because of my age, I feel that Mr. Yan is very stubborn and has good relations with the Cai family. After Yuan Shu's death, he seems to be more likely to help me achieve my goal. Of course, as people get older, they will always want more comfort. Some are even more afraid of death." Qi Zhen said lightly.
"Let's talk about your conditions." Yan Xiang continued without comment.
"It's very simple. Those lower-level officials must be reinstated. As for the method, I'll think about it. You just need to recommend these people at the right time." Qi Zhen said with a smile. It is so easy to chat with smart people.
"What about Nanyang City's military power?" Yan Xiang asked.
"To be honest, I have already contacted Generals Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun. That is not something you need to worry about." Qi Zhen continued.
