Chapter 176 Long live my emperor (63)

"You won't kill me?"

Even though he was seriously injured and unable to fight back, Xue Chi did not look like a loser.

He grabbed the blade, his eyes as calm as ever, like a pool of stagnant water, and warned: "If you don't kill me, I will kill you next time we meet."

The sharp blade cut his palm instantly, but he didn't even frown at the pain.

The boy raised an eyebrow, "In fact, I'm looking forward to being your opponent."

Pulling the blade from his hand, Nan Yue said with a somewhat ambiguous tone, "If you can see me again next time."

Xue Chi was slightly stunned. It had been a long time since he had been injured so badly.

He did not hate Chu Yu for hurting him at all. After all, this was a battlefield.

He didn't care whether he was dead or alive.

Anyway, he is just a walking corpse while he is alive.

Do things for my father and clear obstacles for my younger brother.

This is the meaning of the eldest son's life.

No thoughts, no dignity.

But at this moment.

He suddenly wanted to see Chu Yu again next time and have a serious fight with him after he recovered from his injuries.

But he is not worthy now...

Not even worthy of being Chu Yu's opponent.

……

The Luzhou troops led by Xue Chi were defeated.

The city that had been captured previously was not stable to begin with and was also captured by the Jiangzhou troops.

It took a lot of time and energy, and also resulted in the loss of many soldiers and generals, all of which served Chu Yu well.

Nan Yue naturally had no time to care about how severe the punishment Xue Chi would receive when he returned to Luzhou.

The reason why she spared Xue Chi's life was not only because she remembered him, but also because she thought he was good in martial arts and had some abilities.

The bigger reason was that I heard about Chang Guangjun's secret.

Chang Guangjun is probably most famous for his infatuation. Zuo Yi also said before that he loved his wife who died young the most.

To this end, an idea of ​​using a beauty trap was proposed.

It is true that Chang Guangjun deeply loved his deceased wife, but it was precisely because of this love that he was extremely biased towards her.

Except for the son born to his deceased wife, the rest of his children were tools.

Chang Guangjun was born into a wealthy family. His first son was born to his first woman, but that woman was just a maid who taught him how to do things. Later, she was promoted to a concubine because she gave birth to a child.

And this eldest son was Xue Chi.

Chang Guangjun never gave him any fatherly love. In his heart, Xue Chi's mother was a slave, and Xue Chi was also half a slave.

But after he married the woman he loved and had his beloved son, he no longer had any affection for Xue Chi.

Xue Chi was the eldest son, but he lived like their servant.

Xue Chi's martial arts were honed through life and death experiences.

He trained with the secret guards and did the work of a killer, and many shameful things were handled by him.

Chang Guangjun even made him work as a lowly horse slave so that he could get close to Yongdinghou and gather information.

That being said, with so many identities, why should he be allowed to become a horse slave who is bullied and beaten by others?
I'm afraid the biggest purpose is to train his slave nature and suppress him.

Let him not compete with his brothers and develop inappropriate thoughts.

As long as he has no intention of resisting, Xue Chi will be the sharpest and most loyal knife that Chang Guangjun gives to his son.

Over the years, Chang Guangjun has been sharpening this knife.

He was almost there...

But if you can't control it, the sharp weapon will hurt you...

If Ji Huaian had not said that Chang Guangjun had been plotted against and would not live long, Nan Yue would not have let Xue Chi go so decisively.

Xue Chi can work hard for his father, but is he willing to be a slave to the useless brother forever?
She was looking forward to the day when Xue Chi would seize power.

I hope he won't let her down.

……

Pingzhou had already been attacked by Xue Chi and his men, and the remnants of the defeated army had no leader, so they were not to be feared. It was only a matter of time before Pingzhou was taken over.

Pingzhou had experienced internal strife before, and was later attacked. Some officials fled with their belongings, and some died. No one cared about the refugees, so they took the opportunity to rob the remaining food from the civilians in the city.

I'm afraid the only people who still have food in Pingzhou now are the wealthy businessmen.

But they would not give even a grain of rice to the civilians who were starving to death at their doorsteps.

Nan Yue led his troops along the way and saw many people sleeping in the open air.

The bark has been almost eaten away.

When passing by, Tuoba Ling chatted with him, and a local citizen handed her a bowl of hot soup in a flattering manner.

Tuoba Ling wanted to drink it, but saw a small finger floating in the soup.

Her face changed, and she lost her appetite for the delicious broth.

Upon inquiry, we learned that the family's child had just been born and was too hungry, and there was not enough milk to feed the child.

The child starved to death.

The adults are almost starving to death...

Realizing what kind of soup this was, Tuoba Ling walked to the tree, held onto the trunk, and retched several times.

"why?"

She didn't know who to ask.

The young man sighed, "This is war."

At this moment, Tuoba Ling was no longer happy or proud of winning the battle.

She had fought for the Kingdom of Li in the past, but the people of Li had never lived so hard.

She finally understood.

Why the princess hates war.

She raised her eyes, slightly red from retching, and asked seriously, "Master Chu, you will do it, right?"

Nan Yue replied to her seriously: "Yes."

Tuoba Ling believed that she had not chosen the wrong person, and Lord Chu would definitely be a very good monarch.

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that no matter how tired or hard it was, she would bring peace to the people of the world.

The people of Pingzhou did not understand the nobles' struggle for power. In fact, to them, whether it was Marquis Xinling or Lord Changguang, life was equally hard.

They can't change anything and just want to survive.

I thought that Lord Chu who came from Jiangzhou this time was the same.

He only wanted to occupy Pingzhou.

Unexpectedly, after Lord Chu captured the city, he immediately issued several orders that were beneficial to the people.

Regarding the restoration of the city and the arrangements for the refugees.

Nan Yue is not like Xinling Hou, who does good deeds like providing free porridge for the sake of fame.

Even if these refugees who have made mistakes don't want to leave, they have to make amends.

Repair houses and city walls destroyed by war, and exchange labor for food.

This is all the fault of Marquis Xinling. He got used to people eating and drinking for free, and raised a bunch of lazy and idle people.

If you want long-term development, you definitely can't do this.

The refugees are also smart and they bully the weak and fear the strong.

The world is so chaotic now, it’s good enough to have food and drink.

Some refugees wanted to resist, but as soon as they picked up sticks, they were violently suppressed by the officers and soldiers.

After such a long period of internal strife in Pingzhou, many positions are vacant.

Nan Yue then lured those wealthy businessmen with a few official positions and plaques, and let them compete to open their warehouses to release grain and pay for building bridges and roads.

Of course, all the useful official positions were given to trustworthy people transferred from Jiangzhou or Wenzhou, and would not be given to anyone casually.

The positions given to the local wealthy businessmen were nothing more than sinecure positions that sounded nice.

Under her coercion and inducement, even a stingy person would have to pluck out some feathers.

The length of this world was beyond my expectation, and it also burned up my CPU. I tried my best to fill in all the gaps.

Primary school student's political intrigue, really bad at writing but love writing, I haven't finished writing the copy yet, but I will soon
