Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

The assassin snorted coldly and said.

Lingyan froze in place.

Ah no, she, she just wanted to pretend to be a scam, brother, are you really cheating?

Is this set really on?It turns out that good-looking girls are so easy to let people relax? !

Chapter 35 On to the next topic!

"Your highness?"

Lingyan looked at each other coldly.

"What can he give you? I don't believe he values ​​each of you."

"His Highness gave us an idea—an unparalleled idea. If his idea is realized, there will no longer be any distinction between emperors and commoners, gods and mortals!"

"You mean, your Highness will smooth out the gap between people?"

"Not only between humans, but also between humans and gods!" The assassin's eyes flashed with infinite hope, "Your Highness wants to make gods the same as humans, and emperors to be the same as the common people. A talent like you can also be loved by His Highness." ,He can……"

"I have a question."

Lingyan spoke suddenly.

"what is the problem?"

"You said your Highness would make everything even out—including himself?"

Lingyan played with the knife in her hand, then asked.

However, the assassin in front of him obviously didn't understand what he meant, and he couldn't react for a while.

Lingyan shook her head helplessly: "It seems that your majesty has no intention of doing this. Since all the gaps in the world have been smoothed out, what about him? How should he deal with it?"

The so-called elimination of all gaps is, in the final analysis, an unrealistic fantasy.To say it is a fantasy is not to say that it cannot be realized, but that the person who proposed this fantasy does not seem to include himself in the scope of being eliminated.

Think of yourself as a "savior".

Qin Ji once warned her that those who are truly willing to realize their ideals can devote themselves to that seemingly ridiculous ideal.And there are some people who put forward various ideals, not necessarily for the real liberation of sentient beings, they are just enjoying the pleasure of being the savior.

Lingyan looked at the person in front of her, then shook her head.

However, even though this guy didn't say any other more valuable information, Lingyan was enough to figure out one thing: at least the mastermind behind the other party was called "His Royal Highness".In Daxia, those who can be called His Highness today are basically the kings of the royal family.

"Obviously, you're not going to say what we want you to say."

"You're shaken."

The assassin looked at Lingyan confidently and said.

At this moment, Lingyan's heart was full of thoughts of "someone come and carry this pretender out with a chair for me", but since it's for gathering information, it's not impossible to make a sacrifice.

"Do you think you are omniscient and omnipotent?" She said seriously, "Now, I am interrogating you under the order of His Majesty and Lord An Guogong. You only need to answer my questions."

"Hmph, after all, I'm still talking hard."

"It's okay if you don't say it. I will slowly test your loyalty to your majesty later." Lingyan threatened.

"Tell me," the assassin suddenly muttered in a low voice, "with your master, how much price can he send you out?"

"What did you say?"

"Our Highness can at least treat us as complete friends. What about your master? In his eyes, a guard will always be just a guard, but you are more powerful and better-looking. Under normal circumstances, he will not sell you." You, but what if the price is high?"

"I'm serious, girl," he looked at the other party relaxedly, "now is the best opportunity to cooperate with me, that guy should be not far away, right? Get rid of him and become friends with us, how about you? In our place, everyone is treated equally, and no one can treat you as a bodyguard. Mr. An, that guy only has endless desire to control the country, and he will eventually..."

"laugh."

The sound of muscles being cut came, and the assassin only felt a chill on his right shoulder, and then, a howl sounded in the soundproof space!

"My arm! Ahhhhhhh!"

Lingyan wiped the dagger that was stained with some blood in her hand, and put it in her waist.Her moist lips parted slightly, and she looked at the neat incision on the other's shoulder with interest.

She has a very clear understanding of the structure of the human body. Under her control, this extremely sharp short knife can easily find the gap between the bones, and cut off the opponent's entire arm with minimal effort.

The ground was stained red with blood, but Lingyan immediately applied the rejuvenation technique to stop the bleeding from the assassin's wound.

"I planned to continue playing with you, but your words were a bit rude, so I decided to teach you a lesson first." After Lingyan finished speaking, she stared into the other person's eyes, "You are right. Yan is my master, and to him, I'm just a bodyguard—let's just treat it like that."

"So what? If the young master needs it, you just need to tell me. As for my youth?"

Speaking of this, Lingyan raised the corner of her mouth, gently pinched the assassin's finger, broke it off, and then happily listened to the other party's scream:

"Whether my youth has been wasted or not is up to me to decide. What qualifications do you, an outsider, have to judge?"

After saying this, she pointed to the back, and the magic of sound insulation dissipated instantly.

"Next, I think we still have a lot of time to get in touch. Your loyalty to your highness is enough for you to persist in spending time with us."

After saying this, Lingyan looked at the back who had already left, then turned around and took out various tools.

………………

Qin Ji didn't know what kind of communication took place between Lingyan and the assassin after the sound was cut off, but judging from the tragedy, it showed that Lingyan was really a little angry.

Forget it, let her play.

Qin Ji returned to his study.

Here, there is a military situation.

General Bai has already raided Hanyin City, and there are not many enemies left. Hanyin City is under the control of the Great Xia army again. The well-designed spear chariots for the cavalry have shown their edge, but there are also certain defects that need to be made up...

Among the reported casualties, home troops lost about four hundred, while enemy losses were "innumerable."According to General Bai's style, the innumerable he said roughly meant that the battle report had not yet been determined, but it was basically much more than Daxia.

This is still the situation where Da Xia is in a disadvantageous position on the attacking side.

Of course, the reason why the fight went so smoothly was because the number of troops sent over this time far exceeded that of the enemy, and the army directly swarmed the barbarians, and the encirclement was as tight as death.

And this time, Qin Ji specially transferred a group of practitioners to General Bai to take the lead.Although the Saar dynasty also had their own cultivators, many of the cultivators in the Saar dynasty were quite rough, and the training system was extremely messy and outrageous, including but not limited to letting the cultivators engrave symbols on their bodies. we communicate...

As a result, Hanyin City was quickly taken back.

Qin Ji immediately issued an order: don't move.

At this time, the city has been taken back anyway, so I will occupy it here to see if the Saar people on the opposite side dare to come over.

Now that the war has come to this point, the next tasks that should be carried out are: punishing the inner ghosts and diplomacy between the two countries.

On the side of the Saar dynasty, facing the conflict they provoked this time, what reason will they use to justify it?Qin Ji was very curious.

After all, the reasons for these people's defenses are different every time, and they are full of tricks, which is very interesting.

Chapter 36 New "Troops"

With the arrival of another morning, there were hundreds more people in the martial arts field of Duke Anguo's mansion.

These were transferred from Qin Ji's previous request from General Bai.Although he holds power now, those soldiers are still used on the battlefield after all. What Qin Ji needs is not just soldiers, but a unique army.

Therefore, he sent someone to send a letter to General Bai, hoping that General Bai could select [-] more capable soldiers from the team for him to use.Although General Bai is still in the north, he has already arranged for people to draw up candidates in advance.

Qin Ji looked at the sturdy soldiers in front of him with satisfaction, then nodded.

"Master, what are you going to do with these people?"

"I want to use it to do a very important thing, which is related to the internal stability of the Great Xia." Qin Ji said with a smile, "Lingyan, what do you think is missing in the current Great Xia?"

"I feel that there is a lack of sufficient resources—although Daxia is now abundant in products, it is still not enough to feed so many people."

"Whether it's resources or necessities, all of these can actually be solved in a variety of ways, so there's nothing to be afraid of," Qin Ji said.

He patted Lingyan's shoulder, and then pointed to the 500 people below: "What Daxia lacks now is stability. This stability refers to the stability of the current situation. Lingyan, you In order to protect me, I have been attacked more than once, why do you think I have been attacked repeatedly?"

"Lack of stability." Lingyan replied.After all, Qin Ji had made it clear just now, if she didn't know, she would be too stupid.

"So, I need to find a way to stabilize the situation in Daxia. Whether it is the princeling party, the princeling party, the civil servant party, or the general party, they can have their own positions, but I cannot allow them Affect the stability of Daxia's situation."

As Qin Ji spoke, he looked at the soldiers below with his eyes.

"Great Xia is not lacking in productivity now, but today's Great Xia can only release about half of its original productivity. This is not because Daxia's policies are so backward, nor is it because of some natural disasters. The reason is that Daxia has The situation started to be chaotic after the battle of Huangzheng. This chaos did not come from the common people, but from the upper class, that is, our group of officials."

Having said that, Qin Ji stood in front of 500 people, and then uttered a resounding question:

"Everyone, do you know why I brought you here?"

The people present all looked at each other and no one knew the reason, most of them just obeyed the order from above, which said that according to Qin Taiwei's order, all the people on the list must go to the Taiwei's mansion.So the 500 people began to be mobilized, and no one knew what it was for.

"It's right if you don't know! If I let you know, I'll be in vain!" Qin Ji chuckled, then pointed to his feet, "Everyone, tell me, where are you now?"

"Taiwei Mansion!"

This place is of course the Taiwei's Mansion. Everyone knows this fact, and everyone knows that the military of the empire is almost entirely in charge of the Taiwei.And not only the military, but also the internal affairs, a large part is also in charge of the Taiwei in front of him.

It's just that almost no one present has actually seen Taiwei Qin. Before that, although they knew that the current Taiwei was not very old, no one thought that he was actually younger than many people present. Some.Some veterans even felt that the Taiwei was about the same age as his younger brother.

"That's right, the Taiwei's Mansion. This is the place in charge of the empire's military affairs. The orders you receive on weekdays are all issued here-in this case, I will no longer be a secret. I called you here today, for the sake of Just one thing: starting today, you will enjoy more salaries than ordinary soldiers!"

There was an uproar.

500 people look at me and I look at you. No one can believe that such a good thing has happened to him. Although the empire is indeed not short of money, and has never been in arrears with military pay, but this time it was suddenly given to him. A salary increase, such a good thing still makes people feel too sudden.

"Are you surprised? But I want to tell you that the salaries you get today are not for nothing. You have to receive stricter training than ordinary soldiers. This is why I have to recruit truly capable talents. Among you Most of them are literate, which is also the condition I need for the talents. Here, please remember that once you accept a higher salary, you must understand: from now on, what you are loyal to is not the Great Xia, Not the generals, but..."

He pointed to himself.

"Me, and our Majesty."

When he said this, he looked at the expressions of everyone below and made sure that they seemed unshakable, so he continued:

"Now, I can tell you what I have to do. You will soon be a sharp blade of the Empire, I need you, the Empire needs you - you will accept my orders and complete those tasks facing the hidden enemy Task. This task is much safer than directly dealing with foreign enemies, but it is also much more complicated."

When he said this, Qin Ji looked at Lingyan.

Lingyan didn't show any expression, it seemed that she didn't care about this at all.

"The details, I will explain them one by one later. So, before that, I would like to ask, you may face panic from the people, imperial officials, and even abuse from your own people. People wielding knives. If you can accept such a task, then you can stay. If you don’t want to accept it, I won’t force it, and you can return to your original army now. But there is only one requirement—everything I said today, you are strictly forbidden Tell anyone. Otherwise, it will be treated as a foreign country.”

After saying this, Qin Ji waved his hand: "Okay, let's make a choice."

After a brief pause, Qin Ji ordered his servants to spread out the paper on which the salary was written and stick it on the wall.This salary caused everyone present to gasp.

Darling, this is more than 01:30 points higher than my salary in the army!
