Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 141 Delay Emperor Qing for a month!

Xue Rong was both scared and thankful.

Of course, more relaxed.

Because, compared to Jiang Zhihong, he believed in what this subordinate said.

As long as this subordinate didn't lie, then this must be the way of peace from the beginning to the end.

Burning granaries, artificially magnifying the consequences of natural disasters, and delaying the imperial court's relief, in order to incite a large number of refugees to rebel.

"Then Jiang Zhihong, he really deserves to die."

"He actually wanted to trick me into betraying the imperial court... Fortunately, I was not in a hurry to do it."

"Jiang Zhihong would never have thought of it even if he died. One of my subordinates happened to know the truth."

"It's really dangerous."

"Millions of rebels... One bad thing is that people are dying."

"Almost became a sinner through the ages."

"Hmmm... If you put it this way, in a disguised form, if I don't believe Jiang Zhihong's words, I have saved the whole world."

"Well, that's the truth."

The more Xue Rong thought about it, the more noble he felt.

And the position of that subordinate in his heart also increased invisibly.

But just when he was about to say a few more words to motivate this subordinate, he suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with the other party!
His eyes dodged a little...he was lying!
Xue Rong's heart suddenly turned cold.

Looking at this subordinate again, his expression seemed to be mixed with a trace of fear.

fear?

Why fear?

Xue Rong suddenly remembered the previous scene.

When he thought the dust had settled and rode his horse towards Jiang Zhihong, this subordinate was obviously the one closest to the city gate.

But when everyone behind caught up and asked him what he planned to do, this subordinate was left at the end...

Why is this happening?

Xue Rong narrowed his eyes.

He could only think of one possibility.

That's the subordinate who heard what Jiang Zhihong said to him! ! !

The phrase 'I advise you to kill your subordinates, try to delay the time, and take this opportunity to escape to Taiping Road'!
If so, everything makes sense!

This subordinate fell from the front of the team to the back of the team because he was afraid of killing himself!
Not only that.

This subordinate even thought of a way to resolve it!
What is the burning of granaries in Taipingdao, what is a large number of replacements of local officials, what is the cousin who works in the Ministry of Officials.

all fake!

It was a lie fabricated by this subordinate in order to survive!

As long as he believed this lie, he would take Jiang Zhihong's words as a lie, and return to the capital in a grand manner, where he would be secretly executed by His Majesty.

So ruthless, so poisonous, so powerful!
Thinking of this, Xue Rong felt a chill in his heart.

"By the way, what's the name of your cousin from the official department?"

Xue Rong asked with a half-smile.

"This, let's not hide it, my lord."

The subordinate was a little hesitant, and said: "The cousin of this subordinate is very low-ranking, and his reputation is not obvious. I'm afraid the adults haven't heard of it..."

Click!
The subordinate's head spun again and again, twisting into twists from the neck.

"Ho ho... want to trick me into going back to Beijing and send me to my death?"

Xue Rong's eyes were red, his voice was hoarse and low, "Unfortunately, your lies are too clumsy."

"……grown ups"

All the cavalry looked dull, some couldn't believe what they saw.

You were chatting happily in the last moment, why did you kill someone in the next moment? ? ?
The general is usually a little vengeful, when did he become so moody? !
"Apart from what he just said, did he tell you anything else?"

Xue Rong looked at his subordinates coldly.

"..."

Everyone looked at each other and moved back warily.

Not to mention that he was riding a horse all the way, so he didn't have the time to say anything.

Even if he really said something, he can't admit it with the general's current appearance of wanting to devour others.

"Didn't you say... Forget it, it's not important."

Xue Rong smiled lowly, "Because, you are all going to die!"

As soon as the words fell, the remaining 21 cavalry all chose to retreat violently.

There is no doubt that the general must have misunderstood something.

They don't know where the misunderstanding came from, but they know that whether or not the misunderstanding can be resolved, they have to save their lives first.

pity.

Just a few steps back, the gold and jade armor that used to provide them with powerful strength and protection suddenly began to squeeze inside.

Arms, torso, legs.

In just an instant, they were firmly restrained in place.

"Whether it is a silver-armored stupa or a golden-armored stupa, the commander can control the life and death of his subordinates."

Xue Rong explained with a terrifying face, and disappeared in place in an instant.

Then there was a series of cracking sounds of neck bones.

So far, he is the only one left among the six thousand golden armored stupas.

Xue Rong shook his blood-stained palm, his face was extremely cold, "If you escape, how will this general survive? If you want to blame, you can blame your colleagues. Who made him a coincidence, and heard Jiang Zhihong talking to him?" What about what I said?"

Xu Chong hid himself with greed, and stood in front of Xue Rong, carefully observing the other's expression.

In fact, the words wrapped by Yinshen definitely look more carefully than the eyes of the physical body.

Heartbeat, breathing, eyes, the most subtle expressions, all of these add up to roughly judge psychological changes.

But the problem is that his three yin gods have shrunk to the size of a palm, and they can't wrap a complete person at all. He can only collect information with his naked eyes.

But now it seems that it is enough.

"This method is really outrageous..."

"I simply strengthened a person's red light, so that Xue Rong could have evil thoughts about him independently, and find enough supporting reasons to continuously expand the evil thoughts, and finally put them into action."

"It's a pity that the Yin God is still too weak after a change."

"Just manipulating the misfortune and blessing of a Tongmai martial artist consumes so much."

"It seems that we still have to find a way to improve."

Thinking of this, Xu Chong frowned slightly.

From the moment Jiang Zhihong attacked the Golden Armored Stupa until now, he hadn't gained anything.

For example, Jiang Zhihong.

Although Xu Chong never thought of absorbing Jiang Zhihong's spiritual source, after all, he watched Jiang Zhihong die close at hand.

That close distance is an inescapable fact.

There are also those cavalry who died at the city gate, plus the newly dead 22 cavalry.

From the beginning to the end, he was not provided with even a little spiritual source.

You know, there is no restriction on killing the spiritual source by the panel.

As long as the new dead, standing on the side can suck.

It's just a matter of how much.

"So... is this the impact of a natural disaster?"

Xu Chong was thoughtful.

It seems that there is only one explanation.

At this time, Xue Rong suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

"I……"

"Why would I make a sudden move?!"

"Obviously, I obviously believe in what my subordinates say...why did it change all of a sudden!!"

As if waking up from a dream, Xue Rong sat on the ground with horror and daze all over his face.

"The death of the person being manipulated will eliminate its influence on the consciousness of the rest? It's not good..."

Xu Chong frowned and continued to observe.

After being in a trance, Xue Rong's complexion became completely ugly.

He found that he seemed to have no choice now.

If he returns to Beijing to face Sheng, he can be sure that he will not be able to hide the real cause of death of these twenty or so subordinates...

"Damn!!"

Xue Rong cursed angrily and stood up.

First, go to a slightly hidden place and dig out a deep pit with bare hands.

Then he turned around and killed the horses.

In the end, 22 human corpses and 22 horse corpses were just buried.

After finishing all this, Xue Rong sat back to his original place, deep in thought.

The whole thing is now in two versions.

One is what Jiang Zhihong said, there is no way of peace at all, and Emperor Qing is murdering refugees from Yongzhou.

The second is what his subordinates said. There was no Emperor Qing at all, and it was Taipingdao who was obstructing disaster relief and taking the opportunity to incite refugees to rebel.

To be honest, no matter how he thought about it, Xue Rong felt that the latter was the real truth.

The emperor of Daqing, what are you doing killing refugees if you have nothing to do?
What's more, even if you want to kill it, wouldn't it be over if you just crush it with the army? Why is it so complicated?

Unfortunately, no matter what the truth is, I have killed 22 Golden Armored Buddhas.

After all the calculations, there is only one way left to go to the Taiping Road.

"Taiping Road..."

After making a decision, Xue Rong immediately stopped being distracted, and frowned, thinking, "I must find someone from Taipingdao as quickly as possible to participate in unblocking."

"But no matter how fast it is, it is conservatively estimated that it will take a month to reserve."

"One month, why delay?"

"The fact that the blood-clothed guards can discover the Taiping Dao's plot proves that there must still be people staying in Yongzhou... Once the news of Jiang Zhihong's death spreads, it would be abnormal for me to delay returning to the capital for any reason."

"And even if it can be delayed for a month... in what capacity should I contact Taipingdao?!"

"Damn..."

Xue Rong cursed again.

Only then did he realize that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.

Finding Taiping Road is easy.

He still retains the identity of Ding Tianwei, and he can get a lot of clues by going to any blood-clothed thousand households to inquire.

Even if there is no one here in Yongzhou, it is still too late to go to Lin Province.

But the problem is, Jiang Zhihong died, he killed himself.

As the person in charge of Taipingdao's plan, Jiang Zhihong's identity may not be simple.

If you are not sure about Taipingdao's attitude, you must not contact Taipingdao with your original identity.

Of course, it is not impossible to fabricate a false identity, and Taipingdao will accept it.

But the question is, in that case, why should Taiping Dao attach so much importance to it?
There are so many people queuing up, why do you arrange to unblock you as soon as you come?

Xue Rong's mood plummeted into the abyss.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"You seem distressed?"

"!!!"

In an instant, Xue Rong's hair stood on end, and his figure retreated ten feet.

"Don't be so nervous."

Xu Chong maintained his greed, and said indifferently: "The old man is very curious to see you kill your subordinates with your own hands, so let's take a look... Which family are you a direct descendant of to be able to sneak into the Golden Armored Stupa?"

"Which family... the six major families?!"

Xue Rong's complexion changed wildly, "Are you from the Way of Peace?"

"Aren't you too, what a surprise."

Xu Chong's tone revealed a trace of puzzlement.

"I……"

Xue Rong hesitated for a while, and asked, "Dare to ask your identity?"

"Old man Zheng Huaikong should be considered your elder."

Xu Chong said calmly.

This is the name I heard from Hua Nongyue.

"Zheng Huaikong!"

Xue Rong's scalp was numb.

He remembered the name.

Zheng Huaikong, the younger brother of the Patriarch of the Zheng family!

According to the information of the Blood Clothes Guards, at least it was the ninth level of body washing.

One-on-one, invincible!

"Why, you seem to be afraid of me?"

Xu Chong's voice turned cold, "You...are not from the Taiping Dao?"

With one move, Zhai Xing pinched in his hand, and locked on Xue Rong from afar.

At the same time, Xu Chong felt a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, what Xue Rong most hopes to see at this time should be the people from the Taipingdao.

That's why I fabricated this identity, intending to guide Xue Rong how to delay time.

Why did you get scared instead?

"Sir, spare your life!"

A huge threat enveloped his heart, Xue Rong no longer doubted the identity of 'Zheng Huaikong', and knelt down with a plop.

"Sir, forgive me!"

"The villain was bewitched by Emperor Qing, and he made such a big mistake in a moment of confusion!"

"Fortunately, Mr. Jiang woke up, and the villain was able to find his way back, and planned to completely break with the court!"

"Please be clear, my lord, the villain really didn't intend to kill Mr. Jiang!"

Xue Rong kowtowed repeatedly and kept crying.

I was worried about this...

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, increased the power of picking up stars a little bit, and at the same time slightly raised his voice: "What! Jiang Zhihong is dead?! The old man has only been away for a few days, and Jiang Zhihong actually died?"

"Sir, forgive me..."

Xue Rong shuddered all over, "The villain must change his past, power and violence are incompatible!"

"I will go through it in detail. If there is any concealment... you should know that it is very simple to verify what you said."

In the spirit of acting and doing a full set, the extremely cold words spit out from Xu Chong's mouth.

And this, on the contrary, made Xue Rong feel a little relieved.

He was afraid that Jiang Zhihong would be a key figure who was too important to die, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

At least this 'Zheng Huaikong' did not act immediately.

As long as you don't do it, you have a chance.

So, Xue Rong honestly told the whole story.

What Xu Chong heard was frowning.

Xue Rong, did he add too much ingredients?
He actually combined what his subordinates said with what Jiang Zhihong said.

The whole thing changed drastically, and it became "Emperor Qing conspired to assassinate the people of Yongzhou, Taiping Bo Yuntian extended a helping hand".

What did he say that his original intention was to let Jiang Zhihong be arrested without a fight and return to Beijing with him.

What to say, after all, there are so many subordinates, and there are too many people, so I can only do that.

There are also words such as awakening after being awakened, but it is too late to regret.

Xue Rong tried his best to present himself as a righteous man who was originally loyal to Daqing, but after knowing Daqing's true face, he resolutely chose to break up.

Xu Chong got impatient after hearing the long speech together, and finally ended it.

"It's not that the villain is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's that the villain hates this riot. Even if he dies, he will die on the way to overthrow the riot!"

Xue Rong pressed his forehead to the ground and said in a painful voice, "I beg Senior Zheng to give the villain a chance!"

"..."

Xu Chong rubbed the center of his brows, and said lightly, "Get up, Jiang Zhihong died as soon as he died. Now that the old man has found out, just send another person to continue."

"Thank you senior!"

Xue Rong was overjoyed and kowtowed a few more times before standing up.

It seems that Jiang Zhihong is nothing special.

"but……"

Xu Chong changed the topic, "If you want to join the Taiping Dao, it's useless to show your loyalty."

coming!

I am not afraid that you will raise conditions, but I am afraid that you will not raise conditions.

Xue Rong lifted his spirits, "Senior, it's okay to say."

"Help Taiping Dao, hold back the imperial court!"

Xu Chong said, "The longer the time, the better."

"This……"

Xue Rong's complexion changed slightly, and he said: "Senior, I don't know. The blood-clothed guards found out what happened in Yongzhou and passed it back to the capital. The villain speculates that there are still blood-clothed guards lurking in the dark in Yongzhou at this time..."

"You don't have to worry about this anymore. The old man left this time to deal with this matter."

Xu Chong said casually.

In fact, long before the locust plague, all the blood-clothed guards in Yongzhou had turned into silence, either nesting in the thousand households or in the provincial branch.

Needless to say, this was done on purpose by Emperor Qing to delay the spread of the disaster back to the capital.

And now... the blood-clothed guard will continue to maintain this state.

Nothing to worry about at all.

"Senior solved the blood-clothed guard?"

Xue Rong was taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he gritted his teeth and said, "As long as there is no one else to deliver the news, I can delay it for at least a month."

At least a month?

This is not the same as what Dou Tianyuan said.

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "Tell me in detail."

"First of all, if you want to delay the court, everything must look real."

Xue Rong opened his mouth, showing his worth as much as possible, "Therefore, Jiang Zhihong's death cannot be concealed... not only cannot it be concealed, it is best to report what happened and Jiang Zhihong's identity truthfully."

"I'll teach you how to write this."

Xu Chong said indifferently, "Continue."

That Emperor Qing must have known that Jiang Zhihong was not a traitor.

If the report says that Jiang Zhihong is an important figure in the Taiping Dao, it will only backfire.

"Yes."

Xue Rong didn't care, and continued: "In addition to the news of Jiang Zhihong's death, I intend to fabricate some traces of the Taiping Road, and ask the Emperor Qing, whether I will take Jiang Zhihong's body back to Beijing directly, or temporarily Stay in Yongzhou and beware of Taiping Road."

Makes sense...

Xu Chong looked at Xue Rong with some surprise.

This Xue Rong has some brains.

"In this way, 20 days have passed."

After a pause, Xue Rong explained, "All the local post stations in Yongzhou have been abandoned, and the report has to be rushed to Lin Province. It takes three days with the foot strength of the golden armored stupa, and it takes seven days at the fastest to send the report back to the capital... Once, it’s 20 days.”

"Even if the new decree is for me to return to Beijing with the Golden Armored Stupa, plus the time spent on the road, it will be almost a month."

"If you want to grow it longer, it depends on whether that Emperor Qing will let me stay in Yongzhou."

The shortest is only one month...

Xu Chong thought for a while, and said indifferently: "It's okay, one month is enough."

It is not realistic to save Yongzhou just by delaying time.

In the end, it still depends on the 'other method' that Dou Tianyuan said.

"senior."

Xue Rong struggled, gritted his teeth after a while, and said, "It's okay for the villain to help delay for a month, but this matter is too risky. The worst case is that after a month, I will be immediately deprived of my household registration..."

"Don't worry, the Zheng family has a pool of blood."

Xu Chong chuckled, "Even if you become a useless person, the old man can still take you back to unseal and regain your memory."

"Thank you senior!"

Xue Rong was overjoyed.

It's not that he doesn't doubt at all, it's that he can only choose to believe now.
