Qin Lisheng's face was extremely gloomy and he ran quickly to the small courtyard.
Seeing that Mo Qiu and Gu Dan were both there, he quickly handed over the letter he had just received.
It was the report of the battle of Yuzhou.
The borderland is too far away. With the current manpower of the Mo family, it is incredible that the news can be sent back so quickly.
"Giant..."
Qin Lisheng's lips twitched. Although he had always wanted Emperor Zongming to die immediately, when he saw the report of the Yuzhou battle, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
After all, there is a difference between the death of an emperor and the complete change of dynasty.
The former is nothing more than killing one person and then a large number of officials. If the emperor really wants to be killed, Qin Lisheng is willing to be the first to do it.
But when a dynasty changes, even if there is no external enemy to cause chaos, it will take decades and countless chaotic wars to finally settle down.
Not to mention the current fierce war and danger, when the four countries are attacking.
Even Qin Lisheng, who always behaves like a rebel leader, doesn't want to cause a world of chaos where people will weep and shed blood.
The Mohist family is ultimately different from others on this point.
Gu Dan opened his mouth and said in a determined tone: "Chaos is about to break out..."
The two-hundred-year-old Guozuo has almost come to an end. Even if it lasts for another few decades, how much better will it be?
Opening a history book, you will find thousands of years of silence, and the country is like a fire. The first sentence sows the fruits of karma, and the second sentence puts it on the sacrificial table, which makes people feel lonely. What kind of justice and evil, deceived the scholar, full of bad ink. It's just a matter of fighting to sit in the Dragon Pavilion.
I saw heads of people rolling in, people living in exile, struggling to survive for thousands of years. Here you have great military achievements, there you have a crazy performance, and you have another show. What kind of heroes only care about themselves and repeat the same mistakes. While talking and laughing, the scenery changed.
A golden volume of history, white paper and black characters, how thick is the ink? The princes, generals and ministers are happy, the literati and poets write and ink, and the descendants are happy. Occasionally, there are a few saints who are sober and drink hard, but cannot achieve liberation. In this world, everyone is a guest.
Gu Dan understands the truth.
On the road to eternal life, the rise and fall of the world is just a blink of an eye for him.
Especially in this world where immortals actually exist, and you can't figure out the depth of it, it's best to follow other people's rules and don't go out of your way.
From the beginning to the end, he acted very leisurely, just to avoid getting too involved.
At the beginning, he was too weak, and any setback might lead to disaster, so he had to attach himself to Taiyin Hospital. In order to learn martial arts, he also made friends with heroes like Mo Qiu.
It's just that time has changed, and his martial arts advancement has reached the top of the world. He no longer needs to rely on the protection of others, and he even still has the ability to protect others.
When your eyes fall on people in this world, the feeling is different after all.
Mo Qiu was always silent, silent.
Something seemed to be condensing and accumulating on that tall and burly body. Suddenly, Mo Qiu asked: "Has Gong Shang returned from the past?"
Xun Ke shook his head blankly.
Mo Qiu let out a breath, unfolded the battle report Qin Lisheng handed over, and read it carefully, "That means he won't come back."
"What do you mean you won't come back?"
Gu Dan noticed something was wrong.
"Gong Shangguo should be the child of the second prince who was demoted to the frontier." Mo Qiu said.
Gu Dan was surprised and said: "The grandson of the Dragon Son?! Gong Shangguo has never mentioned this matter. How did Brother Mo recognize it?"
"His marksmanship fifteen years ago."
"But what does this have to do with whether he comes back or not?" Gu Dan still couldn't understand.
Mo Qiu shook the battle report in his hand and said, "As the royal family, we actually have no choice."
Gu Dan's questioning thoughts suddenly stopped.
For the people in the world, if they really can't survive, there is still a way to risk their lives.
However, this road is naturally not open to the royal family - they can fight among themselves, but they cannot overturn the table.
No one is willing to let them come back to the stage, no matter what their intentions are, good or bad.
Gu Dan stood up suddenly and opened his mouth to speak.
Emperor Zongming's crime deserves ten thousand death, how can I deserve it if I am guilty?
The words came to his lips but he paused, and finally walked towards the hospital without saying a word.
...
Yangzhou.
Jishui County.
Jishui County is located in the south of Jishui. As the saying goes, people who rely on mountains and mountains rely on water to eat. Although Jishui, which has given birth to several states, occasionally loses its temper, countless wealth is still in this mother river, which can be called the mother river of Dayue. The river flows through it, and the people here are always much wealthier than elsewhere.
In the county government office, the county magistrate said with a gloomy look: "The tax this time is only less than 30% of the past? How can I explain this to the superiors?"
The people below looked at each other, and finally the chief clerk said bravely: "The auspicious water rose slightly a while ago, swallowing up a lot of fertile farmland, and there is no surplus food in the people's homes."
"No food left? What a joke!"
Dianshi sneered and said: "These days, there are many people dragging their families and carrying their belongings to the mountains. Are they unable to pay taxes, or do they want to rebel?"
The county captain also said: "A few days ago, a group of refugees swaggered through the city with murderous weapons. Our people followed them secretly, but found that many villages secretly handed them things!"
The county magistrate suddenly slapped the table with both hands and said angrily: "These unscrupulous people! They have received 90% of the tax, but they still have money to fund the rebels? How dare you say that there is no food left at home? Bring me... ..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard several screams.
Immediately afterwards, a corpse flew towards him, and it hit the desk like a dead body, colliding with the county magistrate.
When the magistrate of Jishui County came to his senses, he saw the corpse in his arms with his face covered in blood. His eyes widened and he screamed. A chill rushed into his heart, followed by the smell of urine.
A man, Shi Shiran, came over, with lingering and shocking bloodstains on his hands. Only the eyes looking at them had an undisguised cold murderous intent.
Such a turn of events stunned the few people who were just imagining how to punish the people.
Only Zhu Bo was still awake. He tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and asked: "You...who are you? What do you want to do?! This is the county government, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous!"
The man glanced at him coldly and said casually: "My name is Huang Chao."
The next moment, the sound of wind passed by, and Zhu Bo saw his neck shaking.
Blood spurts!
Facing a martial arts master who was at his peak, they had no chance to resist.
When Huang Chao walked out of the county government office, the entire Jishui County had fallen into his control.
"Your Majesty, we have taken down this place! What do you want to see next?" A man hurried over, his face full of incredible joy.
"Kill all the rich households and wealthy businessmen, destroy the clans together, and distribute everything to the refugees." Huang Chao said casually.
"Shall we leave nothing at all?"
The subordinates showed signs of regret.
"There are so many rich lands in the south, are you afraid that it won't be your turn?" Huang Chao sneered, "Kill them all, leaving no one behind."
The person under the hand moves quickly.
It didn't take too long, and a large group of people were pushed out. They were either famous wealthy businessmen, wealthy households with a history of more than a hundred years, or landlords of a certain place... Their identities were no longer known at this time. Important, because they will be beheaded one after another in verbal and written criticism.
A large amount of gold, jewelry and food were found, and Huang Chao distributed them without hesitation.
The people who got their share fell to the ground and kowtowed, shouting "Huang Tian is above!"
"Your Majesty, there is a strange looking stone man on the edge of Jishui River. Do you want to go and have a look?" One of his subordinates came over to report the news.
"One look at the stone man?"
Huang Chao was just about to say what the stone man looked like when he suddenly paused.
No, it should look good.
