The king behind the empress

Chapter 464 If you dare to die, I will dare to bury you

Just when Xu Boyuan and Chen Ying were cleaning up the remnants of the aristocratic family in the southern counties, Zheng Ying, the lord of the Zheng Kingdom in the east, was a little stupid at this moment.

He brought an army of 60 troops, Chen Bing to the east, and he even spared no effort to conquest himself, so that after Xiao Yanbing broke through the capital of Dazhou, he could immediately march westward, and at that time, he would forcefully break through Zhangyuan's guard at all costs. Xunyang City, and then flanked Xiao Yanbing inside and outside, forcibly eating Da Zhou.

In the end, he prepared everything, and what was waiting was not the good news that Xiao Yanbing captured the capital of Dazhou, but Xiao Yanbing's corpse.

"Second Brother Xiao..."

Zheng Ying looked at Xiao Yanbing's dead body in disbelief. After a short period of grief, he was like a raging lion, grabbing Xiao Chong's neckline, "Tell me, how did this happen?"

"Second Brother Xiao is invincible in the world, how could he lose? Did Da Zhou plot against him? Did Da Zhou use some kind of trick? Could it be that some of you betrayed him?"

"How could he lose? He can't possibly lose!!!"

The defeat of Xiao Yanbing's death not only means that Zheng Guo lost a pillar of the country, but also means that his hard planning for more than ten years has now been in vain, so Zheng Ying, who is full of expectations, is about to be defeated by this kind of The strong sense of gap was driving me crazy.

"Humble and incompetent."

Xiao Chong, who was already heartbroken, saw Zheng Ying's reaction, and felt even more distressed in his heart. He couldn't even say a word to explain, and stood there with red eyes.

Seeing this situation, the right minister Cui You who came with Zheng Ying was also silent for a long time. He also knew about the king's plan, but he didn't expect this result.

"What exactly did you encounter?"

Cui You stepped forward to help Zheng Ying back, and then said to Xiao Chong: "There are [-] guards, and they are still led by General Xiao. How could you lose so badly? Even General Xiao None were spared."

"That Red Flame Dragonrider is really... really too strong."

Hearing Cui You's question, Xiao Chong reluctantly regained some reason, but when he thought of the almost invulnerable Scarlet Flame Dragonrider that day, he couldn't help showing a trace of bitterness on his face. He will cross Wanling Mountain, take down Yanyang County, And the matter of Xiao Yanbing's death in the final defeat, I told it completely.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chong's eyes filled with tears, "In order to cross Wanling Mountain, more than 1000 brothers got lost in the mountains and forests, but we paid such a high price, but in exchange for the result that the entire army was wiped out. "

When talking about these things, Xiao Chong's heart was full of grief. He couldn't figure out why they paid such a high price, but this result would happen.

"Most of them are the Red Flame Dragon Riders in the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

Hearing Xiao Chong's description of the Scarlet Flame Dragon Knight, Cui You couldn't help being stunned for a moment, if he didn't look at Zheng Ying who was beside him with an unbelievable expression, he really suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"absurd!"

Zheng Ying, who had reacted, stood up abruptly, glared at Xiao Chong and said, "Do you know what the marrow-washing state is? Do you know what five thousand marrow-washing states means?"

"It doesn't matter if you surrendered out of fear of death, or fled before the battle, for the sake of bringing back Brother Xiao's body, I don't have to blame you, but if you dare to lie about the military situation and deceive the public with false rumors, I will never tolerate you! "

"The humble position has been with the general for more than [-] years. The humble position is not afraid of death, and it will not do anything to betray the master."

Xiao Chong, who was suspected, knelt down on the ground, buried his head deeply, and said: "If the general ordered Beizhi to send his body back and help him guard the tomb, Beizhi would have already killed himself and followed the general."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Commander Xiao Chong is the commander of General Xiao's personal army. He has followed General Xiao for many years, and his loyalty will naturally not be a problem."

Cui You persuaded Zheng Ying first, then turned around to appease Xiao Chong, and said, "Commander Xiao, don't blame Your Majesty, after all, what you said is really unbelievable."

"Five Thousand Marrow Cleansing Realms..."

When Cui You said this, he shook his head subconsciously, and said: "I won't talk about how many resources are needed for the five thousand marrow-washing realm, but just talking about the marrow-washing realm, it can't be piled up with resources at all. Even if Da Zhou has so many resources, how could he find such a talented person."

"At this time, I don't know, but I am in the marrow washing state. I can be sure that those soldiers are in the marrow washing state."

Xiao Chong's face showed grief again, and he said: "During that battle, I saw with my own eyes that several familiar marrow-washing generals were picked off by ordinary soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Riders."

"And...if it wasn't so, why would the general order the Wei Guojun to surrender?"

As soon as Xiao Chong said this, both Zheng Ying and Cui You fell silent. They knew Xiao Yanbing very well, and they knew very well in their hearts that Xiao Yanbing would definitely not let the soldiers under his command surrender if the gap was not so large that it could not be smoothed over. of.

"In this world...is there really an army that is all marrow washing?"

Although he no longer doubted Xiao Chong, Zheng Ying still felt a little unbelievable in his heart. He looked up at Crispy Kou and asked, "Cui Qing, what do you think about this matter?"

"I do not know either."

Cui You smiled wryly. Although reason told him that what Xiao Chong said must be correct, he still couldn't believe it when he thought of an army of 5000 people, all of which were composed of marrow washing. "If there is such a strong army , I am afraid that this day will change."

Zheng Ying knew what Cui You meant. Although the words were suspected of being disrespectful, he didn't care about them at this time, because if Xiao Chong's words were correct, it would be hard to say where Zheng Guo would go in the future.

When Xiao Chong heard what the two said, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Before he died, the general had a conversation with Mo Zizai, about why there are so many Marrow Cleansing Realm warriors in the Great Zhou, Mo Zizai seems to have told the general."

"Although the general didn't tell me about it, he asked me to give His Majesty a message."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zheng Ying immediately cheered up. He looked at Xiao Chong expectantly, and asked, "Quickly, what did Second Brother Xiao ask you to bring?"

"General, he..."

Looking at Zheng Ying's expectant eyes, Xiao Chong suddenly didn't know how to speak. He had already mentioned this matter, but he had to say it, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "He asked me to tell your majesty that in fact, being a prince , is also very good."

"what?"

Zheng Ying originally thought that Xiao Yanbing asked him to bring some kind of clever strategy, but he didn't expect that such words were true. He is the majestic Lord of Zheng Guo, and making him a prince, isn't this just letting him surrender?

"How... how could this be?"

Zheng Ying only felt his eyes go dark, his whole body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.

The relationship between him and Xiao Yanbing is compatible with each other. After so many years, even if he let Xiao Yanbing idle for so long, there is no gap between him and Xiao Yanbing, so he is very clear in his heart, if there is no hope, Xiao Yanbing will definitely not let Xiao Yanbing Chong gave him such words.

"Second Brother Xiao, what exactly do you know?"

Zheng Ying's eyes were a little dull and he fell on the chair. He knew that Xiao Yanbing must have known something extraordinary before he died. I will definitely not persuade him like this.

"His Majesty……"

Cui You looked at the hopeless Zheng Ying and didn't know how to persuade him. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Otherwise, let's retreat first."

"Since General Xiao's side has already failed, even if we can conquer the Eastern Realm, it doesn't make much sense."

"Withdraw...withdraw."

Zheng Ying shook his head weakly. After receiving the news of Xiao Yanbing's defeat and death, he was so angry that he even wanted to raise troops directly to take down the East Territory and avenge Xiao Yanbing.

As a result, after Xiao Chong finished speaking these words, he was a little worried about his own throne, let alone attacking the Eastern Territory. How did the dragonriders come here, and... besides these red flame dragonriders, what other support does Da Zhou have."

"Here."

Cui You knew what Zheng Ying was worried about, so after answering, he didn't ask too much.

……

Mo Zizai knew the news about Zheng Ying and Chen Bing's Eastern Border, but he didn't know about his retreat, and even if he knew, he didn't have time to worry about it now.

During this period of time, he took a trip to the south and spent most of the money that Xu Boyuan and Chen Ying got from raiding their homes into the accelerator. In this way, the VIP of the accelerator was raised to level 8, and there was an extra 2 million More taels of silver.

Now, for the VIP level 8 of the accelerator, the acceleration factor has been doubled, and the main acceleration factor has been increased from 200 times to 400 times.

As for the low-level acceleration bit, the multiplier has also doubled, from the original 20 times to 40 times. Now Mo Zizai's army can practice faster.

In addition, the number of low-level acceleration positions has also doubled. It used to be 20, but now it has become 40. With such a large number, even if you add those prisoners who need to repair bridges, roads, and ditches, it is more than enough. .

And this was the only good news that Mo Zizai had encountered during this time. Apart from this, everything else was troublesome.

First of all, Liuzhou, since the beginning of March, it has been raining continuously, and it has been going on for nearly a month now.

Such a large amount of rainfall caused the water level of the Weijiang River to increase sharply, and the bank of the Weijiang River burst its embankment. Three counties have been flooded, and another seven counties are in danger.

For this situation, Mo Zizai had no choice but to ask Han Qu to transfer the Shenwei Army to fight the flood, and Tang Weiyi could only organize people to rescue the disaster.

And the most troublesome thing is that apart from Liuzhou, other states also have disasters in different situations. Although they are not as serious as Liuzhou, their scope is wider and more people are involved. , Some people are not enough.

In addition to this natural disaster, what makes Mo Zizai angry is that there are also man-made disasters.

"Straight mother thief, these bastards don't want to live anymore, do they?"

Mo Zizai looked at the secret report in his hand, and fell to the ground angrily, "One by one, remember to eat but not beat, really forcing me to kill you all?"

Because of the catastrophe in Liuzhou, the imperial court issued repeated orders, ordering grain merchants not to hoard grains for surprises, and not to take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices, and those who violated the orders would be killed without mercy.

It turned out that these grain merchants were in a bad situation. On the surface, they did not dare to disobey the order of the imperial court, but they secretly sent their own people to line up to buy grain. The people are very few.

As a result, those people who have no food can only eat the relief food from the imperial court, which greatly increases the burden on the imperial court.

But from a legal point of view, these people did not violate the law, which led to the local officials knowing that they were making trouble, but they had no evidence, let alone do anything to them.

"Okay, since you dare to die, then I dare to bury you!"

Mo Zizai said something viciously, and then directly summoned the people from Dongchang.

With his eyes, he can naturally see who is behind this matter. It is nothing more than those aristocratic families who are not willing to be taken by Mo Zizai for privilege. They dare not make trouble in the open, so they are doing small tricks in secret. Pull the court's hind legs.

Moreover, the timing they chose was particularly good. At this time, when the imperial court was busy with disaster relief, they couldn't spare a hand to take care of them. When the incident was over, they swept the head and tail and directly cleared the relationship. Even if the imperial court wanted to deal with them , and could not find any handle.

After all, the imperial court wanted to talk about laws and regulations. If they killed people without evidence, even though they would be happy for a while, it would collapse Da Zhou's laws and regulations, so they were confident.

However, Mo Zizai didn't care that there were so many of them. If there were Yu Zhisi to monitor the inside and outside, and the army to suppress the Quartet, then he was legal!

"Xiaolu, do you want to go to Liuzhou to kill people?"

"go with!"

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Tang Weilu didn't hesitate at all. Although the palace is nice, staying here all the time makes her feel bored. In addition, Tang Weilu has a temperament that likes to be active and not to be quiet, so she can go out to relax when she hears it. Since they were together, they immediately agreed without hesitation.

"To Liuzhou?"

As a monarch, all major events in the world are in Tang Weiyi's mind, so although she has been busy with disaster relief these days, when she heard Mo Zizai saying that she was going to Liuzhou, she immediately understood what Mo Zizai was going to do.

"Do you want to touch the family in Liuzhou?"

Tang Weiyi thought for a while, and then said: "It's okay, these people are indeed a little rampant these days, I originally planned to let Shi Zhipei go there."

"Now that brother Mo is going, there's no need to let him go."

Shi Zhipei is now the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This person is upright and has means. If he is allowed to go to Liuzhou, with his wrist, he will naturally have a way to force those aristocratic families to spit out their food obediently.

However, since Mo Zizai is going to go now, Tang Weiyi will naturally not let Shi Zhipei go again.

After all, no matter how many means Shi Zhipei has, he still has to rely on the law to save people, to coerce and lure those aristocratic family members.

But Mo Zizai is different. He doesn't speak reason, let alone the law. Since he went, he went to kill people. Once the people are killed, the house is ransacked, and the food is available, the matter will naturally be resolved.
