Yuzhou earthquake.
The new lord of Yuzhou, Sima Xianqin, the God-Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, granted the title of Duke Huo Xiong of Yuzhou, commanding hundreds of millions of soldiers and horses. When the servants met, he ordered the imprisonment of 128 civil and military officials below the lord Tian Huayu of Yuzhou.
There was also Pei Feng, the newly ennobled first-grade marquis of Lingshan, who took charge of the Black Phoenix Army and mobilized the Five Elements Elf Division to blockade the entire Yuzhou.
Tian Huayu and other officials, as well as hundreds of wealthy families in Yuzhou who were related to them, were all surrounded by Pei Feng's army.
Huang Lang, a long-time official under the command of Yuzhou Duke Huo Xiong, led thousands of wolf-like and tiger-like officials of Yuzhou Duke to investigate various counties, cities, numerous mining farms and other industries in Yuzhou. Bottom up.
Anyone who took away a copper coin from the public treasury in Yuzhou had their home raided by Huang Lang's troops, and all the clan members were demoted to criminal prisoners and sent directly to Dazezhou to serve as border guards.
It's so pitiful that Dazezhou is facing the threat of Dawu, and the military war is dangerous. Wouldn't it be risky to go there to die
Even if Da Jin can withstand Da Wu's army... I heard that Da Wu used the method of extinguishing his descendants and using Tu Bing San to turn all the fertile land in Da Zezhou into desert and Gobi. Wouldn't it mean killing people in such barren and barren lands? It's my life!
For a time, in Yuzhou, except for the low-level people who were not disturbed, others with a little status and status, as well as the wealthy nobles, etc., were all panicked.
There was even a wealthy family whose bad debts were found out by Huang Lang, and all the nine clans in the family were about to be expelled. They did not stop and mobilized dead soldiers to fight for their lives.
However, Duke Huo Xiong of Yuzhou has many followers, the Black Phoenix Army is a real elite army, and the Five Elements Elves are even more numerous and powerful. There is also a villain who calls himself Uncle Iron, carrying a black and white spear to help the tiger...
In just a few days, Yuzhou Duke Huo Xiong was assassinated more than a dozen times, so much so that Huo Xiong simply stayed behind closed doors.
Only Lao Tie led a large group of elites like wolves and tigers to roam around. He killed all the dead assassins who dared to assassinate 'Huo Xiong'. Even the main messenger behind them had their property confiscated by Lao Tie. , all the young and old in the family had their cultivation banned and were sent directly to Dazezhou.
The earthquake in Yuzhou attracted the civil and military forces of the Jin Dynasty and Manchu Dynasty to turn their attention to Yuzhou.
After all, Yuzhou was too wealthy, and basically the civil and military interests of the Jin and Manchu dynasties were all involved. If Duke Huo Xiong of Yuzhou just took back his power and consolidated his own interests, that would be fine.
If he dares to offend the interests of these civil and military officials, then a storm will definitely be waiting for him.
Under the close attention of countless people, Wu Tie quietly left Yuzhou City and the universe. Pretending to be an ordinary merchant, he took a cargo ship from a small chamber of commerce and arrived in Anyang City in only a quarter of an hour. .
Yuzhou is originally very close to Anyang. It doesn't take much time to reach it by traveling through the space gate.
Wu Tie's travels were extremely secretive, and even the secret guards sent by Mr. Li were not alerted.
This was also Mr. Li's request - he asked Wu Tie to reach Anyang in the most secretive way possible.
Wu Tie thought to himself that it seemed that the noble people behind Mr. Li, even the secret guards he sent out, did not trust him very much.
However, the matter was done so secretly...even a bit shamefully. Wu Tie couldn't help but have too many thoughts about the identity of the nobleman behind Mr. Li.
The cargo ship of the Small Chamber of Commerce slowly flew out from a space gate outside Anyang City, and several small airships came up to meet it. Some patrol soldiers from Anyang City shouted and jumped on the cargo ship, checking inside and outside the cabin.
Dawu launched an all-out attack on Dajin, and Dajin entered a state of all-out war, with everyone tense up and down. Especially the area around Anyang City has become heavily guarded. Every day, many unlucky people are arrested by the guards and tortured.
For these low-level soldiers, such a tense situation is a good opportunity for them to make a fortune.
When the two soldiers came to him, Wu Tie, who had transformed into an ordinary middle-aged man, without saying a word, took out the identity badge issued by the Yuzhou government office and handed it over with a smile.
"Yuzhou people? It's okay. Why did you come to Anyang?" The two soldiers made it clear that they were deliberately making things difficult. One of them was holding Wu Tie's identity plate, flipping it back and forth in his palm, but refused to return it to Wu Tie.
"Find a new way to ship the master's brocade." Wu Tie said calmly.
The soldier holding the identity badge laughed: "Brocade? Is your family doing a lot of business?"
Wu Tie smiled slightly, took out a piece of gold from his sleeve, and handed it over quietly: "Small business, earn some money."
The identity token returned to Wu Tie's hands smoothly. The two soldiers pretended to be pointed at Wu Tie's nose and scolded him, telling him to abide by the law in Anyang City and not to violate the rules of Anyang City...
A group of soldiers obviously gained a lot. After playing around on the cargo ship for a while, they all boarded their own spaceship and left with smiles on their faces.
After being inspected by these patrolling soldiers, the cargo ship swayed and landed at a storage yard three hundred miles east of Anyang City.
Anyang City is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for the cargo ships of these chambers of commerce to enter the airspace of Anyang City. Therefore, a large number of storage yards have been set up outside Anyang City specifically for the upload and circulation of goods and passengers from these chambers of commerce.
The gangway was lowered slowly, and Wu Tie walked down the gangway. He was about to go to the inn not far away to take a carriage and horse to Anyang City. Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs, and a team of people dressed in black uniforms with bloody belts around their waists, their faces The powerful man separated the crowd and surrounded the twenty-odd cargo ships that had just landed.
"From Yuzhou?" A powerful man strode to the cargo ship and asked in a low voice.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, the big man had already waved his hand: "Anyone from your chamber of commerce, as long as they are not new members, stand aside... Well, are there any incidental guests on your ship? Point them all out!"
Wu Tie was stunned, what was he doing
Looking at the clothes of these big men, they don't look like they belong to the official Jin Dynasty, but they look like private guards of wealthy nobles.
"Hey, everyone, gentlemen?" This small fleet of twenty-four cargo ships is all owned by a small chamber of commerce. The shopkeeper who is now in charge of this fleet hurriedly came up and bowed to the big men. .
"What's going on? Our 'Yuhe Hao' is a time-honored brand for many years. We only do business from Yuzhou to Anyang. All the clerks and shopkeepers are local old people in the hometown. There are absolutely no criminals. ?”
The shopkeeper with a shrewd look on his face hurriedly saluted these big men.
Those who do business, especially small chambers of commerce without strong backing, are most afraid of getting into trouble for no apparent reason.
There is no doubt that these big men in front of them are definitely troubles, and they are troubles within troubles.
"Yuhe? We've heard of it... Well, I told you, it has nothing to do with your Chamber of Commerce. Are there any individual passengers on your ship?" The big man in black reached out and pushed aside the shopkeeper's bag, and walked to the wizard in two steps with a smile. In front of Tie, he stood in front of him and looked Wu Tie up and down.
The shopkeeper and waiters of the Yuhe No. are all wearing exactly the same clothes, so it is easy to tell that Wu Tie, who is wearing a blue gown, does not belong to the Yuhe No.
Wu Tie coughed lightly: "Brother, what do you do? I'm from Yuzhou and I'm also an individual traveler. What's the matter with you looking for me?"
The big man smiled "hehe", slapped Wu Tie on his left shoulder, and then used his five fingers to exert force.
Wu Tie howled miserably, sweating like raindrops all over his body, his face turned pale, and his left shoulder twisted and deformed with a "click". It was obvious that the shoulder blade had been crushed by the big man.
The big man was stunned, let go of his hand, shook his head, and cursed: "Obviously not."
He kicked Wu Tie in the stomach and snorted: "It's none of your business, go away... Well, you guys, come here!"
The big man kicked Wu Tie back several steps and hit the cargo ship behind him.
The back of Wu Tie's head hit the ship's board hard, and his body swayed. He sat on the ground for a while, panting and dazed for a while. Then he stood up with difficulty, not daring to look at the big man. , step by step, walked towards the inn not far away.
The other big men in black were staring at Wu Tie with dagger-like eyes.
Staring at Wu Tie's every move and every change in his expression.
But no matter how they looked at it, whether it was Wu Tie's movements, expressions, or the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, he vividly portrayed a lonely traveler with little cultivation and timidity.
Wu Tie's face twitched, and he walked cautiously and timidly past the big men in black step by step.
Several big men in black looked at Wu Tie, and suddenly one of them yelled at Wu Tie, suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed at him.
The light of the knife flickered, and the blade instantly reached Wu Tie's neck.
Wu Tie screamed, and suddenly warm water dripped down from his feet.
Several big men in black smiled at the same time. The big man holding a long knife shook his head, and the blade rubbed against Wu Tie's neck slightly. Then he turned his palm, put away the long knife, shook his head and said: "It's really not... Scared, get away, I didn’t come and dirty the uncle’s land.”
Wu Tie was trembling all over, jumping up and down all the way, like a frightened monkey, with water dripping behind him, and ran out of the inn in a panic.
Taking out a piece of gold, Wu Tie trembled and negotiated with the post station for a while without making any clear words. With the look of disgust on the post officer's face, he rented a carriage alone, with a driver driving it, and headed straight for Anyang City. .
In the yard, those big men in black were checking the passengers arriving on the cargo ship one by one.
Some were let go after a few words, while others, like Wu Tie, were severely beaten, had their arms and legs broken, and were driven away.
There were also some who were very unlucky. I don’t know if they had any doubts about them but these big men discovered them. They were tied up with a rope and thrown into a black painted carriage. They were transported to who knows where.
Wu Tie sat in the stable and speeding carriage, thinking about today's encounter with a gloomy expression.
His left shoulder was still twisted and deformed. For him who had practiced the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and was proficient in various Mysterious Technique changes, it was easy to create such a fake wound. Even the warm, slightly fishy water that just dripped down was a change in his magic power, but it wasn't that he was really frightened to the point of peeing.
It's just that this thing is weird.
Mr. Li asked Wu Tie to be cautious and careful, even to hide it from those secretly guarding him.
Wu Tie was curious, what exactly happened
It was only three hundred miles from the storage yard to the east gate of Anyang City, a straight road, and the carriage was not slow. More than an hour later, Wu Tie arrived outside the gate of Anyang City.
The speeding carriage slowed down and lined up behind a long convoy.
Outside the east gate of Anyang City, elite warriors from various brigades formed small military formations, their evil aura rising to the sky and their fighting spirit awe-inspiring. On the wall above the city gate, a group of golden-armored generals with terrifying auras stood solemnly, their eyes like knives, constantly scanning the pedestrians and vehicles entering and exiting the city gate below.
A treasured mirror with a diameter of a hundred feet and two dragons, black and white, carved on the back, was suspended above the city gate, emitting a dim light. Everyone entering and exiting the city gate was swept by the mirror light.
The carriage Wu Tie was in slowly moved forward with the large group of people. When the carriage passed by the mirror light, Wu Tie felt a highly penetrating force that wanted to pour into his body and peek into the secrets inside his body.
The yin and yang two cylinders released a faint aura, perfectly hiding Wu Tie's energy.
Baojing didn't make any reaction, Wu Tie entered the city gate smoothly, walked through the long gate corridor, and finally entered Anyang City.
As soon as he entered the city, Wu Tie felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.
Pedestrians on the road all looked nervous, and groups of well-dressed men could often be seen on the street.
These big men are like the big men in black outside the city. They don't look like official personnel of the Jin Dynasty, but more like the guards of wealthy families.
Wu Tie's carriage traveled less than ten miles on the street when three groups of people arrogantly opened the curtains of the carriage and looked at Wu Tie.
It's just that the person Wu Tie changed was really ordinary, and his aura was very weak. These people struggled for a while and finally let Wu Tie go.
In this way, Wu Tie followed Mr. Li's instructions, and after changing two carriages in the city, he finally arrived at a luxurious inn with a large area. There was already a separate small courtyard ready, and Wu Tie took a bath in the small courtyard. , changed clothes, and repaired herself.
At nightfall, Wu Tie's old acquaintance Sima You appeared quietly, took Wu Tie into a car from the back door of the inn, and drove leisurely along the street.
Not long after, the car drove into the brightly lit Jiuquxi Hall.
In the distance, there was the sound of silk and bamboo in a large palace and pavilion, and countless dandy children were partying all night long.
The car drove quietly through the tree-lined avenue and finally stopped in front of an exquisite courtyard.
Wu Tie looked at the words on the plaque at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Sanshengtang!" Wu Tie clicked his lips.
