Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 24 Don't let people go, want people

"This subordinate has one more thing to report to your lord."

"It's about the Yunshan faction."

"Exactly." Shen Lian said, "The brothers who were sent to follow up earlier have returned, and now the location of the Yunshan faction has been found out, it is on the Duogou Mountain 180 miles south of Beifeng City."

"Down the Gourd Mountain?"

Su Yuan does know about this mountain, he has nothing to do these few days, and he will also study the map.

Da Zhou had a vast territory and was divided into twelve prefectures.

Beidi, where Beifeng City is located, belongs to "Mozhou", hence the name "Mobei" in ancient times.

The governor of each state is the state pastor, similar to the senior officials of a modern province, who are in charge of the military and political power.

However, Beifeng City has a special history. It is a military city built to resist Beirong. Although it is located in Mozhou, it is actually independent of Mozhou's bureaucratic system.

It can be said that it is similar to a modern municipality directly under the central government, which is managed by King Zhenbei himself.

Mozhou has 68 counties under its jurisdiction, with a population of over one million, and Daohulushan belongs to Cangzhang County in terms of administrative division.

Shen Lian asked: "Sir, do you have any other tasks for your subordinates?"

"Not yet, you go first."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

After Shen Lian left, Su Yuan first went to the warehouse to look at the money and belongings that had been transported.

There were dozens of boxes in total, and Yang Zhen was instructing the soldiers to carry them. When he saw Su Yuan coming, the creases on his face immediately bloomed: "My lord, there is money in the account now."

Su Yuan smiled: "It's only temporary."

"Oh? My lord, is this money useful?"

"Well. Things like silver are useful only when they are spent, and it doesn't make any sense to pile them up in the warehouse to eat ashes."

Su Yuan is not interested in money now, if he crosses an ordinary commoner, he may become a miser.

But what he traveled through was the prince, and now he has become a prince. Money is nothing to him, it exists purely as a tool to make his power stronger.

Besides, the money was basically obtained by the five major families by exploiting the common people, and it was taken from the common people and used by the common people. Su Yuan still wanted to use all of it to improve the people's livelihood.

In particular, he is planning to launch a new tax policy recently, and it will be easier to implement it with such a sum of money.

In addition...

The news that he wants to pursue the assassination has already spread in the rivers and lakes.

Now it is estimated that many people are watching to see how he pursues it.

Then, since Shen Lian had obtained the location of the Yunshan sect's mountain gate, the matter of pursuing it should also be put on the agenda.

And by doing so, the five major families and Gongsun Kuo of the Northern Xinjiang camp can be wiped out as soon as possible...

The plan that had been considered before had been fully formed in Su Yuan's mind at this moment, and the next thing to do was to implement it.

……

Outside Beifeng City.

Layman Xuanzhu led his horse to the Chengmen Bridge, and after crossing the bridge, he said to the soldiers guarding the city: "I am from the Yunshan sect, and I hope to see King Zhenbei."

The defenders of the city already had a quick-witted Jin Yiwei. Hearing this, he looked at the old man a few times and said, "Then come with me."

He brought the old man into the city.

Soon, news spread to Zhenbei Palace.

Su Yuan was studying in the study, and was a little surprised after receiving the report.

"Layman Xuanzhu is the master of Su Cheng and Chen Zilei."

Shen Lian had already interrogated this information before.

Apprentice dies, arrests, and now the master comes to the door...

Su Yuan pondered for a moment and made some arrangements.

After Layman Xuanzhu was led into the city, several people followed him.

He himself felt it too.

I didn't expect the security in this city to be so strict...

As a congenital expert, Layman Xuanzhu can already feel some secretly watching eyes, there are dozens of them in total.

This is enough to explain why several of his apprentices failed.

I'm afraid they will be targeted as soon as they enter the city, alas...

Layman Xuanzhu sighed in his heart.

Soon, news came from the palace that Jin Yiwei had brought Layman Xuanzhu into the palace.

In a compound, Shen Lian received him.

Su Yuan did not hide his vigilance at all. There were [-] elite soldiers deployed in the courtyard on the surface, and a large number of people were ambushed secretly.

And he didn't show up at all.

Only Shen Lian was sitting at the table in the courtyard.

"Your Excellency is not King of Zhenbei."

Layman Xuanzhu said.

Shen Lianpi smiled but said: "Lady Xuanzhu is superb in martial arts, our prince is a man of gold. As the saying goes, 'The son of a thousand pieces of gold does not sit in the hall', in case the layman wants to harm our prince..."

Shen Lian didn't hide it. In fact, this was what Su Yuan told him to say.

He doesn't shy away from his concerns.

Layman Xuanzhu nodded slightly when he heard the words: "The king of Zhenbei is really careful. But I think the prince has misunderstood. The old man came this time to make an apology."

"You really should apologize." The smile on Shen Lian's face gradually turned into a sneer.

"A few lay disciples dare to assassinate our lord, it's really daring."

Layman Xuanzhu said: "The villain has an impulsive temperament, it is because the old man is not strict in discipline." He said, he took out several small blue porcelain bottles with carved patterns from his wide cuffs.

"This is the 'Xueni Pill' made from Tianshan snow lotus and century-old Hongni. It has the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the foundation. There are a total of four bottles of twelve pills. Bad guy."

The porcelain bottle was placed on the table, and Shen Lian glanced at it.

This elixir may be very precious, but no matter how precious it is, he will not be tempted.

Because the order that Su Yuan gave him was to let layman Xuanzhu understand one thing.

"Laymen don't have to be like this." Shen Lian said, "Our lord won't take things, and we won't let people go. Not only won't let them go, but we have to ask the laymen for people."

Layman Xuanzhu's face remained unchanged: "An important person?"

"There were four people who assassinated our lord. One was dead, two were locked up, and one ran away." Shen Lian said, "The one our lord is about to run away."

Zhu Xu!

Layman Xuanzhu's face darkened.

His four apprentices went down the mountain, and only Zhu Xu ran back.

The remaining three lives are unknown, and now Su Yuan's subordinates say that one is dead, and two are locked up...Who is dead?

Layman Xuanzhu couldn't bear to ask, and seeing the young man's attitude, he knew that his trip was probably in vain.

"The king of Zhenbei really wants to do everything?" Layman Xuanzhu said coldly.

The clay figurine was still angry, although he knew that some of his disciples were self-inflicted, but as a master, he couldn't ignore the suffering of his disciples.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Our lord said, either the Yunshan faction where the layman is located will hand over the person. Or, our lord will personally lead the army to Yunshan to send important people."

"yes."

After Layman Xuanzhu said, a strong coercion was released.

The teacup on the stone table in front of him shook slightly, and the tea splashed out.

Several cracks appeared on the stone bench under the old man, spreading downwards.

The innate realm can already control the internal force to be released at will, which is why in the arena, only those who have entered the innate realm can be called first-class masters.

Shen Lian only had the acquired fourth level, and feeling the coercion at a close distance, it was inevitable that his body would be unstable and his forehead would be sweaty.

But he is not afraid, and he doesn't know what it means to be afraid.

"If a layman wants to make a move, just do it." Shen Lian said, "It's not a loss to exchange this life for a layman's life."
