The county magistrate's body was standing next to Shen Lang and had not fallen down for a long time.
Looking at his head, it was split open vertically, with brain matter all over his body.
If it weren't covered with sand, it would be disgusting.
"The fight is finally over..." A relieved smile appeared on Shen Lang's face.
In this battle, many people died in the city.
However, the enemy suffered a crushing defeat in this battle and would probably not be able to organize an effective attack in a short period of time.
War is not a game of numbers. You can’t win by having more people, and you can’t just let them fight.
Even in the game, soldiers with low morale would run away...
"Uncle Shen, are you okay?" Lu Fengxian came to Shen Lang.
He was covered in blood. Besides the blood from the enemy, he himself also suffered a lot of injuries. It can be seen that he paid a certain price for his impulsive rush just now.
War makes people grow.
Lu Fengxian knew it hurt, so he wouldn't do it again next time and he knew what to do.
"It's okay..." Shen Lang shook his head and looked at the data.
[Mission Objective: Order Lü Fengxian to kill one thousand Great Zhou soldiers]
[Task Reward: 10,000 Spiritual Stones]
[Task progress: 97/1000]
"Why don't you continue chasing and killing?" Shen Lang said.
It seems that for Lu Fengxian, completing the task is like winning a lottery, and no one knows when it will be completed.
Perhaps if we kill a stud, the descendants of that horse will become the Zhou people a hundred years later, and the whole family will join the army, and more than a hundred targets can be completed at once.
Maybe even if you kill tens of thousands of people, none of them will count, just like winning a scratch card.
In short, there is hope.
"The captain took his men there." Lu Fengxian said, "I was worried about Uncle Shen, so I didn't go."
"How does it feel to fight?" Shen Lang still had high expectations for Lu Fengxian.
Shen Lang treats Lu Fengxian differently from Wei Qianluo.
One of them is the Northern Shura, and the other is the Northern God of War, both of them are chosen by heaven.
But after getting to know her for a long time, Shen Lang got used to treating Wei Qianluo as a normal girl. He didn't think about how much she could achieve, but he would occasionally sigh at Wei Qianluo's qualifications.
What about Lu Fengxian? In Shen Lang's eyes, men have to be independent sooner or later.
Treating the two of them is like treating a son and a daughter.
"I don't feel anything..." Lu Fengxian looked at his hands: "My foster father said that after killing someone, you will be scared and have nightmares, but I... have never had a nightmare, and I don't feel anything."
"What kind of behavior is war in your eyes?" Shen Lang asked.
"They came to steal our things and we resisted. This was self-defense," said Lu Fengxian.
"What if we defeat them one day?" Shen Lang continued.
"They attacked us first, so we hit them back as revenge," said Lu Fengxian.
Shen Lang said that Lu Fengxian was born to be on the battlefield...
…………
"Won……"
Brush, brush, brush...
The three spirits returned to their places, and Ji Wendi's expression became better.
Even he couldn't contain his excitement.
In this battle with a huge disparity in the score, Uncle Wen did not take any action.
If I return to Chang'an, how much face will I have for myself, my mother, and my uncle?
Ji Wendi could already imagine how those people would look at him with admiration or jealousy, how many rewards he would receive, and how many talented people would come to join him.
"Your Highness, this battle was a great victory!" Uncle Wen also looked happy.
The difference between him making a move and not making a move was too big.
If he took action, he would probably attract the enemy's top brass, and then he would have to escape with Ji Wendi, and there would be no such achievement.
"Yeah." Ji Wendi looked at the street in the distance, where there were corpses of enemy soldiers with their heads chopped off.
Although it was Shen Lang who came up with the plan to let the wolf in, the entire ambush was planned by him, including Temur's subsequent actions, which were also ordered by him.
He even fought bloody battles with three Free and Easy Realm masters with his valuable body and soul out of his body, which can be considered as going to the front line.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Ji Wendi felt that he was much stronger than others because he dared to go to the battlefield personally.
"Now we just have to wait for Shen Lang." Ji Wendi closed his eyes: "When the enemy army attacked the city, kill the county magistrate of Kangcheng on the Kangcheng city wall..."
"No matter what the reason is, this is a serious crime of killing an official!" The clerk said solemnly: "Let's see how he explains it first."
Chapter 139: Asking for forgiveness
Two hours later.
The city had been cleaned up, and the bodies of two thousand people were piled together and burned with a huge fire.
In order to prevent the fire from going out, he even used a top-grade spirit stone to prevent these people from carrying too many viruses.
After all, the living environment outside the Great Zhou is too harsh, and it is possible to be infected with anything.
Those grassland people had their clothes stripped off.
A scholar gave an order to line up and receive clothes, and whoever took off their clothes would own them, and then the people started to grab them.
In this era when people are scrambling to eat the blood-stained steamed buns, these people are not afraid of the bad luck of the dead people's clothes.
In their opinion, it can be cleaned after washing, and at worst it can still be sold.
The corpses on the city wall had almost been cleaned up. The bodies of the Zhou army and the enemy army were separated, and the enemy army's bodies were burned together, but the Zhou army's bodies had not yet been dealt with.
The soldiers who were chasing them also came back and were arranged to rest on the city wall.
Wei Qianluo also entered the city with his soldiers, but had not yet joined up with Shen Lang.
Ji Wendi is waiting now. He is waiting for Shen Lang to give him an explanation.
Although the war was won, it was a narrow victory!
Logically speaking, Shen Lang should have been defeated by the county magistrate, which would have dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's morale.
He killed the county magistrate and almost caused a disaster.
If there is no reasonable explanation, Ji Wendi will be punished by military law.
"Your Highness, Shen Lang is walking this way."
At the entrance of the county government office, Uncle Wen said something to Ji Wendi.
"Oh?" Ji Wendi narrowed his eyes and turned to walk into the county government office.
…………
When Shen Lang really appeared at the gate of the county government office, Ji Wendi swallowed back the words "Shen Lang, do you admit your guilt?"
Shen Lang was seen standing at the door with his upper body naked, a bramble on his back, and a sad face.
Pfft!
Shen Lang knelt on one knee and saluted.
"Your Highness, I am Shen Lang, a humble servant, and I come to apologize! I also ask Your Highness to behead Shen Lang to comfort the spirit of the county magistrate in heaven..." Shen Lang's face was full of grievance and unwillingness.
"Why do you want to kill the county magistrate?" Ji Wendi sat where the county magistrate had sat before, and looked at Shen Lang silently: "Didn't I tell you how to act before?"
“Your Highness…I really didn’t intend to kill the county magistrate…” Shen Lang looked up at Ji Wendi in bewilderment, “Your Highness, I didn’t expect that a mere Divine Sea Realm official like you could actually kill the county magistrate!”
"I am just pretending!"
"He He……"
"You mean, you killed someone by mistake?" Ji Wendi widened his eyes.
The county magistrate came to Ji Wendi to complain several times, but was turned away by Ji Wendi every time.
In Ji Wendi's opinion, if the two had a grudge against each other, then it would be reasonable for Shen Lang to kill him.
Ji Wendi even thought that Shen Lang would come up and tell the truth, that they had a grudge against each other, and then Shen Lang acted impulsively and made a big mistake.
if that is the case……
Even if Shen Lang has made contributions, it will still be difficult to deal with.
In political struggle, the key is to do things quietly and subtly; killing people is the lowest form of behavior.
After all, if someone could kill political enemies at will by relying on his own merits, the ruling class would have been in chaos long ago.
Like when Huo Qubing killed Li Gan, it was not easy for Emperor Wu of Han to protect him.
Everyone saw Shen Lang killing someone on the city wall.
However, if Ji Wendi wants to protect Shen Lang, he also has a way. It depends on what Ji Wendi wants.
"That's right..." Shen Lang whispered, "I followed your highness's instructions and acted with the county magistrate."
"The county magistrate told me when he was on the city wall that His Highness had ordered him to put on a full show and let me resist so that it would have a greater deterrent effect on the enemy. I did as he was told, but who knew..."
Ji Wendi touched his chin and said softly, "Uncle Wen."
In an instant, a powerful spirit pressed towards Shen Lang.
Shen Lang's eyes turned red and it became difficult for him to breathe.
"puff……"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Shen Lang's mouth.
This is why Ji Wendi feels confident that Shen Lang will tell the truth when he comes in.
This era has its own lie detector.
The excuse the county magistrate had come up with before was actually untenable, and he had no means to resist this kind of magic.
But the county magistrate and Shen Lang are different.
He figured out his superiors' intentions and thought that Ji Wendi wanted to kill Shen Lang, so he took action.
"Shen Lang, you killed the county magistrate, but was it an accident?" Ji Wendi said in a low voice.
"Yes." Shen Lang looked a little dazed, as if he was drunk.
Ji Wendi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Was what Shen Lang said true?
After all, this method of forcing a confession can make anyone tell the truth.
This is what makes Shen Lang so scary.
Shen Lang could lie in front of Zhao Qingyang who was at the Heavenly Man Realm, let alone one at the Divine Profound Realm?
Shen Lang actually didn’t quite understand why these people trusted this lie detector technique so much even though it wasn’t that reliable?
The reason why Shen Lang felt that this spell was useless was because both he and Mo Yi could resist this spell, and both of them had lied in front of Zhao Qingyang.
Shen Lang was thinking, could it be that these rulers are a little stupid?
Well... Shen Lang used to think that rulers should be very smart, but after encountering what happened before his eyes, his heart began to waver.
In fact, it’s not that the rulers of this world are stupid, but unless they use powerful magic to modify the memory or seal a part of the soul, it can be detected immediately.
The people of this world, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty revere the imperial power, some tribes revere the heavens, and some tribes worship their ancestors.
Simply put, they all have faith, and with the blessing of this faith, they will confess immediately.
But Shen Lang is different. He has no faith at all... At most, when he passes by the Temple of the God of Wealth, he will go in and burn some incense out of boredom.
If he worshipped a certain god before the exam and failed the exam, Shen Lang would think that god was useless...
