News of Zhang Zhi's death spread quickly
Although no one publicly spread this matter, similar news spread like the wind blowing under your feet, flying and spreading.
In just three days, throughout Yancheng, even the waiters at the inns can casually tell you the scene when Zhuge Liang killed Zhang Zhi. As for whether this scene is real or just a guess, it's hard to say.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"Three days ago, there was a big purge in the cabinet!"
"You don't want your life, how dare you say this?"
"Besides, what can't be said? We in Yancheng are relatively open, and people are not allowed to discuss politics. Only those who are officials are prohibited from discussing it. We are ordinary people, not officials, as long as we don't deliberately Slander is usually fine, so what can't you say?"
"Brother, Yong!"
"Hey, I heard that Zhuge Xianggong (a kind of honorific for high-level officials) summoned all the cabinet members and directly took out the Guhong Sword that Lord Yan had brought with him. Although this Guhong Sword was of average quality, it was only a top quality one. Magical treasures are not among the spiritual treasures, but this sword is also an inherited treasure of the Jiang family and a true token. Holding this sword feels like Lord Yan is coming in person."
"At that time, Mr. Zhuge took this sword and killed thirty-six people in one breath!"
"Then, Mr. Zhuge gave the remaining people a chance to change their ways."
"I heard that when the door was opened later, the heads of the cabinet members were all lowered. I also heard that not long after the incident, many people came to the Taiwei and the Prime Minister for help."
"That's right. Who doesn't know that Mr. Zhuge is the Lord Yan and they grew up watching and listening to the legend of Lord Yan? Now he is holding the Gu Hong Sword. It is obviously Lord Yan who is angry!"
"Hey, if you were Lord Yan, wouldn't you be angry?"
"To be honest, I'm also angry. Yan Jun has always treated officials and people in the academy. He has always given money, treatment, and honors. He has given them everything he can. In addition to not allowing them to own large-scale possessions, Yan Jun treats them Apart from the land, he is very generous in all other aspects. Even the legendary techniques that can break through real people have been rewarded hundreds of times. Even the fruits of the innate spiritual roots have been rewarded dozens of times."
"Even those nobles who are dissatisfied with Yan Jun's style will not think that Yan Jun is stingy."
"Yes, but these guys betrayed Lord Yan. Don't you think they should be killed?"
"They deserve to be killed! As a passerby, I feel that these people have betrayed Lord Yan's trust and deserve to be killed!"
"Yeah, I'm just a commoner. My grandfather was still a savage back then. Later, my father caught up with the good times and went to the Junior Academy. Although there was no breakthrough in the end, and there was no foundation-building pill to use. , but my father also mastered some skills. When I was of my generation, I successfully broke through and am now a member of the intermediate school. Such a good life is all thanks to Lord Yan, but these bastards dare to You deserve to die for betraying Yancheng’s secrets!”
"Yes, so I heard that many people who came to see the old Taiwei and the old Prime Minister were kicked out. The old Prime Minister stayed behind closed doors. It is said that he was in seclusion and did not see guests at all. The old Taiwei had a hot temper. It even beat out many people directly."
"Hey, I heard that after the plea failed, many people took the initiative to confess and get leniency. Now the cabinet is busy investigating these people who confessed and got leniency."
"Tsk tsk, let me just say it. I bought so many stocks on the bond exchange and invested so many times. How could the failure rate be so high? Now it seems that these researchers are all trying to embezzle my money. , failed on purpose, that’s why I always lose money!”
Others heard the words, looked at the person who was doing it, and then curled their lips: You are a famous black-faced person. You will go down when you buy, and you will go up when you sell. You black-faced person, don't blame the researchers. . On the other hand, you will have a headache if you buy the bonds for the project that the researchers have worked so hard on!
Listening to everyone's discussion, Li Bin couldn't help but wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
Li Bin is a Taoist priest and a researcher.
He is very greedy and lustful. Even in the process of lust, he colluded with people from other countries. Typical, stupid and bad.
Li Bin didn't know that he was included in the list of death row prisoners reported by Zhuge Liang.
Although Jiang Hua said that as long as he did not betray Yancheng's secrets or betrayed Yancheng, and there was merit or hard work, he could be lenient and let him off for the time being as long as he made up for the embezzled money.
But Li Bin, an old guy, is not within the above range.
First of all, he did betray Yancheng. Although he had limited qualifications and did not have groundbreaking talents, Li Bin could pretend.
He has always maintained a persona of being eager for justice and a warm-hearted persona.
Therefore, Li Bin often supports some young talents, and he really supports them.
After supporting geniuses, geniuses often burst out with inspiration, and many achievements bear Li Bin's name. Even though it is his second work, he has more than two works, so he has seniority, and he looks dazzling, and he is a very caring senior.
Therefore, based on this, Li Bin often joins some projects with a high degree of confidentiality. Slowly, I learned some of the secrets of Yancheng. It can't be said to be confidential, but it can't be leaked casually.
But Li Bin was greedy, lustful, stupid and bad, and was bribed by the Chu people early on.
In fact, even if no one from Chu State designs and bribes him, sooner or later he will be designed and bribed by people from other countries.
After learning that Jiang Hua was determined to clean up these traitors, most people responded with applause and thought Jiang Hua did a great job. But Li Bin's first reaction was that Jiang Hua was going to kill the donkey!
Li Bin's second reaction was: Jiang Hua would take this opportunity to overthrow the old man and let him make room for the newcomer.
"Messenger, it seems to me that he is deliberately indulging them. With his wisdom, how can he not know the real situation underneath? It is nothing more than his deliberate indulgence and deliberate connivance, which is why we have today's situation."
"Now, he asked that boy to launch a great purge in the name of purging traitors. This is to make the old man obediently give up his position so that the younger generation can take their place."
"I can see it clearly. He just thinks that young people are better and can endure hardships better."
"He just feels that we old people are not as good as these young people in terms of overall quality, and we old people are not as hardworking as young people. Moreover, after cleaning up the old people and casually giving out some benefits, we can make people Young people who have nothing should be grateful!"
"This is all his conspiracy! He did this on purpose!"
"I want to go to Chu State, and I want to leave Yancheng. Only by leaving here can I be safe!"
"That kid is so crazy that he doesn't even recognize his relatives!"
"He later killed all the heroes with his own hands. Dozens of cabinet members died. Hundreds of cabinet members are now squatting in cells waiting for review. There are thousands of cabinet members who are in a state of committing crimes and meritorious services."
"Next, he will definitely review the academy, and he will strictly investigate the academy. It cannot be concealed! Only by escaping immediately can there be a chance of survival."
"Emissary, I have a big secret. Haven't you always wanted to know how far the prefecture-level Taoist soldiers in Yancheng have been trained? As long as the envoy is willing to guarantee my safety, I will reveal this secret to you!"
"Goodness!" The messenger, who had remained silent all this time, spoke for the first time.
"Messenger, it's not that I can't trust you, but this matter is too important. Once I reveal this secret, I will be hunted to the ends of the earth in the future, and Yancheng will not let me go. You must let me believe that you are really Only if you can protect me."
The messenger thought for a while and said: "When you escape, I will let you change your name and bloodline. From now on, you will be an ordinary hereditary doctor and your land will be a county. From now on, there will be no such person as Li Bin." Yes, some of them are hereditary officials under the rule of Chu State."
"Okay, let's escape first!"
…
one day later
"Messenger, I finally see you. Let's leave quickly. Are the secrets around us covered?"
"certainly."
"Hey, this trip is not easy. I was almost discovered several times. There are more and more overt and covert inspections in Yancheng, and they are becoming more and more strict."
"Yeah, it's not easy."
Who is speaking?
Before Li Bin had time to look back, a sword tip appeared on his chest. When he turned around, he saw Zhuge Liang dressed in white: "Zhu... Zhu... Zhu..."
After a few breaths, Li Bin fell to the ground without a look in his eyes, and the messenger immediately retreated. However, a moment later, he found that he was still spinning in place after running for so long. Without saying a word, he raised his hands: "I am As one of the envoys of Chu State, I want to guarantee my treatment."
"I am a noble of the Chu State, a great noble, and a member of the Jing family. My cousin is the current head of the Jing family. I am of great value and can be redeemed. My cousin will definitely find a way to redeem me."
"As for the relevant secrets, I don't know much. There are seals set up in my mind, and there are more than one contract signed in the Chu Kingdom. The relevant secrets cannot be told openly."
If you're smart enough, you can guess it yourself. But I can't take the initiative to say it. I hope you can understand what I mean.
Zhuge Liang nodded, grabbed the messenger and left.
The guy in front of me is just a small character. It didn't take long for Zhuge Liang to meet a big character.
"Hmph, today is the day you die!"
"I have seen this kind of strategy many times. Let's join forces today to achieve a quick victory."
"We are either the first generation or the real ones. There are three of us. If we send him on his way, he won't die in peace."
Looking at the three enemies who had concealed their identities in front of him, Zhuge Liang didn't want to know who they were: "What a coincidence, Liang thought so too. I'll send the three of them on their way!"
With a wave of his sleeves, eight formations appeared.
Zhuge Liang himself sat in the center, and the surrounding area was immediately divided into eight heavens and earth. The eight heavens and earth combined with each other and instantly turned into sixty-four small heavens and earth. The sixty-four small worlds are intertwined and can continue to evolve.
However, to deal with the three people in front of them, it is enough to evolve the eight formations into sixty-four small worlds.
Sixty-four small worlds were constantly colliding, arising and dying, and the three of them were trapped. In the end, they couldn't tell whether what they saw in front of them was real or illusory.
In just three hours, Zhuge Liang put away the eight formation diagrams, and with him were the corpses of two first generations and a real person.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers were silent.
This is Wolong's first achievement!
"These are two first generations and one is a real person." The envoy, who was born in the Qu family of Chu State, widened his eyes in surprise.
The envoy of the Wei family on the side did not quarrel with the envoy of the Chu State this time, but nodded approvingly: "As expected of Wolong, he killed three masters in just three hours. It's going to change!"
"Is Wolong too powerful, or are the three of them too weak?"
"Although these three are not pioneers, they have achieved breakthroughs by relying on their own abilities."
"Yes, I know them. One of them is of Ji's blood. He is a Sanren on the surface, but in fact he may be from Jiutian. The other is of Ji's blood. He may be from Jiutian, or he may be from Wu or Yan. Human. As for that real person, I’m not familiar with him.”
"This real person looks a little strange, but he shouldn't be a weakling, at least not the kind who makes a temporary breakthrough."
"Are all the younger generation so strong?"
"Back then, Lord Yan rebelled against Xiang Liu, and today Wolong killed three people. I heard that last year, Zhou Lang used the true fire of the sun to refine a water-attribute demon god alive on the sea. As for General Han (Han Xin) commanding the Xuan-level Taoist soldiers The fact that he besieged and killed the demon god several times is well known to everyone."
"Now I just feel like I can't keep up with the times. In the past, the first generation and the real people were superior. Even if there was a war between countries, the first generation and the real people would still not easily distinguish life and death. Most of the time, they were intimidating. , shock, shock again.”
"Looking at it now, in the past fifty years or so, the number of first generation, real people, and demon gods who have died at the hands of Yancheng alone exceeds the number on both hands."
"Also this time, during the 100,000-mile return journey of the Han, Zhao, and Wei clans, they killed at least five real people, first generations, and demon gods."
"In addition, after Taiping Taoist broke through, he also brought Huang Tian's will to smelt a first-generation ferocious beast."
"It feels really different. The first generation, the real person, and the demon god were all high-ranking figures in the past, but now they are all small characters who die at will, and they die accidentally."
"It seems that this is a change brought about by the rise of Lord Yan, but in essence it is the result of the accumulation of Qi training methods spread by the Three Saints 10,000 years ago and accumulated over 10,000 years."
"In the battle of Yingdu, I heard that Sun Tzu (who was respectfully called Zi after his breakthrough in strength) killed more than a dozen of the first generations of the Chu Kingdom in one battle. At that time, I comforted myself by saying that those first generations were just cannon fodder, and a few first generations would be able to Killing them all is nothing."
"Hey, the future is the era of great real people. The era of real people, the first generation, and demon gods has come to an end."
"Maybe, this is what the so-called times have changed!"
"Yeah, times have changed!"
