Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 107 How long have you been with me?

Qian Hezi squatted in front of the corpse, carefully inspecting the wound. The cause of death was an unfathomable blood hole under the neck, and the murder weapon was a sharp dagger, killing him with one blow.The point is that most of the soldiers who died were like this. They were attacked by someone when they were unprepared and lost their lives. If there were only a few cases, it would be fine. The key point is that more than 100 people died in just ten days. The murderer came here for his life , is to hunt and kill Japanese soldiers.

Honma Chizuko asked about the place where the soldiers died, Shigeru Miyamoto couldn't speak, blushed, lowered his head, Chizuko understood, and didn't ask anything, I'm afraid these soldiers really died in private houses.

"Hmph, there is more than enough to die." Qian Hezi sneered and waved his sleeves: "Take these corpses down and burn them."

"As ordered."

"Also, whoever dares to disobey the military law and sneak out of the barracks during this period of time will be punished."

Shigeru Miyamoto was startled, and nodded hastily. In fact, there was one thing he didn't say to Chizuko, that is, he went out secretly to get drunk a few times.

……

Xuzhou city.

Today, Xi Shen wore a black python robe and came to the ancestral hall alone with a heavy wooden box to pay homage to his ancestors. Since he received a secret letter from Qian Hezi from Homma, he was invited to go to Guangling to hold a ceremony for him. The vigorous coronation ceremony showed the Wuzhou area.From that moment, Xi Shen knew that Guangling was his Xi Shen's cemetery after he left, and Guangling was his cemetery. It was not too late. Xi Shen was in a heavy heart, but he didn't have any regrets. , only a trace of melancholy.

I have deep learning, and I am ashamed of my ancestors.

He knelt on the futon under the spiritual tablet, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

Open the heavy wooden box, revealing a brand new bright red official robe.

Xi Shen's vision was blurred, and he went back to more than ten years ago, when he was a young man, he was so high-spirited, he had a brilliant literary talent, and he had unique insights into politics. Emperor Tai'an issued an imperial edict, and Xi Shen was able to succeed as a matter of course The title left by his father has become the shepherd of Wubei Yizhou. He leisurely remembers the first time he wore an official robe to organize government affairs, point out the country, and scold Fang Qiu.But now, he handed over the 400-year-old foundation of his ancestors to the Dongying people, devoted himself to being a traitor, and put on the python robe that the Dongying people added to him.

"Thinking that I have a deep learning, I can read and write at the age of five, and kill people with a sword at the age of eight. I am familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and I am well versed in the art of war. But I don't want to. If I make a mistake, I will be hated forever. How should the history judge me?"

After Huang Shi wrote the call to action and took back his title of Xi Shen, Xi Shen suddenly realized that although he longed for power, he cared more about his foundation.

Xi Shen kowtowed respectfully nine times, and his eyes became firm. He knew that there would be no way out for Guangling this time, and that Dongying people were all ambitious. They would definitely not let him go, and would definitely kill him to avoid future troubles.He Xi Shen is proud and conceited, he must not sit and wait for death, when the cold light flickered, Xi Shen had an idea.

At this time, Chen Jian came slowly, bowed his eyebrows and said: "My lord, the carriage is ready."

Xi Shen looked at the bright red official robe, and suddenly smiled, "Chen Jian, how long have you been with me?"

Chen Jian didn't think about it: "Reporting to Your Majesty, in the third year of Tai'an, the lower official was awarded Ju Ren, and stayed in Xuzhou. Later, he was recruited in the mansion to assist the former Lord; now."

"Oh, after all, it's been 14 years." Xi Shen said, still kneeling in front of the spirit tablet, never looking back, his back to Chen Jian, Chen Jian smiled awkwardly, and urged: "My lord, it's getting late. Time to hit the road."

"It's time to hit the road." Xi Shen smiled.

Suddenly.

Dozens of soldiers rushed out from inside and outside the ancestral hall, with their long knives out of their sheaths, and surrounded Chen Jian with a cold light.

Chen Jian's face turned serious, and he smiled and said: "My lord, what do you mean?"

Xi Shen still didn't look back, just stared at the official robe in a daze, and said with a smile: "Chen Jian, I'm leaving, and I'm going to do something big when I leave, you are my confidant, you know too much, you Go ahead and wait for me on Huangquan Road, I still have something to tell you."

Chen Jian's face changed instantly, he closed the paper fan, turned around and wanted to run, but he just stood still outside the ancestral hall, because thousands of elites had already ambushed outside the ancestral hall, and the leader was Xi Shen who was the most powerful The titan, Yan Yue.

Yan Yue brandished the steel knife and said with a smirk, "Military Master, the king has ordered you to offend me."

Chen Jian looked desperate, he turned his head and saw dozens of soldiers approaching from the ancestral hall, he dropped his fan, closed his eyes, and laughed loudly, "Xi Shen, then I will be on Huangquan Road I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you!"

Dozens of people rushed forward.

Chen Jian died on the spot, with blood spattered three feet.

Xi Shen lowered his head to look at the robes of the state shepherd's official, stared at the spiritual tablets of the ancestors, clenched his fists, and said hoarsely: "My grandson is at fault. If I go here, I will definitely use the blood of Japanese pirates to paint this body red." official robe."

……

The Zhongzhou Iron Army dominates the world with force, and its copper and iron walls are unparalleled in the world, which is frightening.

Why is it known as the Iron Army?It is because the Zhongzhou Iron Army is serving, all of them are heavy armored cavalry, all of them are horses with curly manes riding clouds. Only 800 people can conquer a majestic pass. The world is so big that they can go anywhere.With hundreds of thousands of iron troops, only the Great Liang court can afford to support so many armored cavalry with such a huge military expenditure. It is no exaggeration to say that looking at the fourteen prefectures, all the heavy armored cavalry add up. It is not as large as the Zhongzhou Iron Army, which is why the imperial power can stand for hundreds of years.

Lin Gusheng is Lin Guming's own younger brother, he can't be good at anything if he can't write well, he is stubborn and troublesome, and he is known as the number one dude in the capital. But on weekdays, he fights the eagle and leads the dog, behaves domineeringly, and has a bad reputation.Lin Gusheng likes horse racing. Once he spent ten thousand taels of gold to buy a high-quality "Rouge" from the Western Regions. He rode a horse and provoked many ministers and disciples without any scruples. Those who were bullied could do nothing but do nothing.Lin Gusheng thought that these Gaoliang disciples were not pleasing to the eye, annoyed that he could not practice martial arts, and had no knowledge of literature. The dandy of the aristocratic family deliberately found fault, and occasionally brought soldiers to stop them, humiliating them in every possible way.Recently, the eldest brother has stopped, because the elder brother suffered a defeat, and there was a lot of discussion in the capital. Lin Gusheng stood up many times, and when he saw who dared to talk about the elder brother in private, he led the soldiers and arrested him without explanation. First, he was pulled down and beat fifty Killing the mighty stick, he didn't believe that his elder brother would lose the battle, he thought it was a mistake, but when he returned to the commander's mansion, seeing his elder brother sinking, Lin Gusheng felt melancholy, wishing he could lead his troops to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

He privately sought out his entourage who was protecting him, asked clearly, and implicitly expressed that he wanted to go to Jiangdong to fight a real battle with Japanese slaves.They tried to persuade him with kind words, tried every means to calm his emotions, and then those followers were afraid that Lin Gusheng would do something stupid, so they hurriedly reported it to Sun Yu.

Lin Gusheng looked at the expressions of the subordinates, and cursed secretly, they are all fucking cowards.

So, on the night of July [-]rd, taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Gusheng took the gold and silver to check, sneaked out of the commander's mansion, boarded a carriage to escort supplies to Wanzhou, and left the capital quietly.

He didn't know that the reason why he was so smooth was inseparable from the help of one person.

After Lin Gusheng left the capital in a carriage, Prince Gong's mansion, Ji Zai received a report from the housekeeper. Suddenly, with a flicker of candlelight, a tall figure appeared, it was Meko Honma.

"See Your Majesty."

"Hehe, it is said that Uesugi has left, and now the leader of Wuzhou is your sister, called... oh, Honma Chizuru, right?" Ji Zai took a teacup and put it to his lips, taking a sip.

Meizi came out from the darkness. She was as heroic as her sister. She was born to be a female hero. Although she was a woman, she was dressed in a tight-fitting night suit, with a long knife on her back, and her slender thighs were faintly visible. Seeing you, you will definitely lose your mind. Who is Prince Gong?He has seen more women than he has eaten pork. In the eyes of a man with such a high position and authority, women are like floating clouds.

"Yes."

"Hehe, is there no one left in the huge Dongpu? A mere girl is actually in charge of the military." Prince Gong taunted.

Meizi smiled and did not refute, but stood aside and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my sister is a right-wing minister in the cabinet, and she has a very important say in the cabinet. She will be your best strategic partner for cooperation."

"It's better like that." Ji Zai sneered.

Ji Zai urgently used the Dongying people to smash the Zhongzhou Iron Army. The outbreak of war between the Great Liang court and Dongying was almost a certainty, because Uesugi captured the princess, but Uesugi ran away with the princess and resolved the conflict. Yaizi promised repeatedly that he would fulfill Ji Zai's wish, but Ji Zai didn't trust anyone, so he could only take double insurance. The reason why Lin Gusheng was able to leave the capital smoothly this time was because of Ji Zai's secret plan behind him.

……

Purple Bamboo Forest.

Recently, more and more people from the rivers and lakes from the fourteen states rushed here. They were deployed by Jiang Ziqi and Yuan Ji to lurk in the major counties and cities, assassinating the soldiers of Dongying who were alone, and intensifying local conflicts. Today Jiang Ziqi brought a news, It is said that Chizuru Honma invited Xi Shen to Guangling to hold the coronation ceremony, which is a good opportunity.

If Xi Shen can be killed at the coronation ceremony, it will definitely set off a stormy sea and stimulate the hearts of heroes everywhere.

Yuan Ji said: "Xi Shen is a thief of the world. This person betrayed his promise and acted against the law. He handed over the Jiangdong Sheji to the Japanese pirates. He was willing to be a puppet like a dog. He did not hesitate to take the lives of tens of millions of people in Wuzhou as a gift. A pawn at the mercy of others. If we can kill the national traitors, we will be able to frighten the young people everywhere, and let the people of Dongying know our determination to resist."

With the support of the Dongying people, Xi Shen will be crowned king in Guangling, which must attract much attention.

Xi Shen's identity as a traitor is well known throughout the world.

Whether it is the common people, the army, or those reckless bandits, they all regard Xi Shen as a laughing stock, disdain to be with him, and think that he is a sinner in Wuzhou Sheji. I don’t know how many people are secretly staring at him, trying to kill him Unload eight pieces, peel the skin and cramps.

Jiang Ziqi nodded in agreement: "Brother Yuan is right. At present, we are waiting for people with lofty ideals to secretly snipe and kill Dongpu soldiers. Slaughtering the national traitors in front of the Dongpu people during the coronation ceremony must have a far-reaching impact, and it will also be convenient for me to lobby and preach in the future."

Chen Ci also got a seat, and he was qualified to participate in such a routine meeting, but he had a problem with Yuan Ji in his heart.

Yuan Ji has been in Zizhu Forest for several days. Originally, Jiang Ziqi’s plan was to order the missionaries to lurk in various cities and wait for the opportunity to kill the soldiers of Japan. However, Yuan Ji insisted that killing the soldiers would have no deterrent effect, and wanted to kill the officers. , the two quarreled several times because of this matter, and in the end Yuan Ji retreated on his own initiative.Moreover, this Yuan Ji's eyes were not right when he looked at the Chen Ci, and there was a feeling that he couldn't explain clearly. He just felt uncomfortable when he couldn't explain clearly the Chen Ci. This little baby is the son-in-law, right? We and the imperial court are in conflict, although brother Xin was kind to us back then, is it inappropriate to let an eagle dog from the imperial court participate in our military affairs?"

In short, Chen Ci didn't like this Yuan Ji very much.

Seeing Yuan Ji's proposal to kill Xi Shen in Guangling, Chen Ci sneered, Guangling is the most important thing, there are 20 troops stationed in Dongying, and they are impenetrable, and they are just people from the rivers and lakes, and they want to kill Xi in front of so many people Deep, it is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Yuan Ji also understood this problem, and immediately said: "In order to improve the deterrence ability, the traitor who kills the country has a deep habit, it must be at the time of the coronation, and this matter must be discussed in the long run."

Afterwards, Chen Ci listened to the group of people discussing in a daze.

You must know that the deepest mission is extremely arduous, and there is no chance of death. With so many Japanese soldiers watching helplessly, they can't escape no matter what.

……

Yuhang City.

After the princess was transferred to Yuhang by Shang Shanqi, she was served with delicious food and drink. Even so, the princess's mental state was getting worse day by day.That's right, after learning that Fan Chu was dead, Chen Ci's life and death were uncertain, and the entire Wuzhou fell, the princess shed tears all day long, becoming more and more depressed, and had long thought of committing suicide.On this day, Uesugi came to the small courtyard of the princess and brought gifts. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the princess playing the piano in the courtyard and playing a song "Red Bird Fu". The style is ups and downs, describing the tragic and tragic war.Seeing Uesugi coming, the princess let go of her hand and lowered her head.

"You kill me." The princess said flatly.

Shang Shanqi smiled slightly, and put a box of pastries on the table, "This is the 'Yipin Crisp' from Zhongzhou, Your Highness the Princess."

"just kill me."

The princess still said that.

"Princess, I can't kill you whether it's public or private. If you die, how can I be worthy of the statement? Besides, if you die in the hands of our Dongying, the Great Liang court will definitely launch a war at all costs. I don't know. How many innocent soldiers will die on the battlefield..."

the princess cried.

Uesugi sighed, turned his back to the princess, unwilling to see her weeping makeup, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Chen Ci is still alive, if I find traces of him, I will send you back to him safely."

"Is he still alive?" The princess stopped crying, her eyes staring blankly.

"You are still alive, don't worry, you will meet again in a few days."
