In the sixth year of Ping'an, the second day of the first month.
Wu Pheasant almost couldn't wait to rush to Nanfeng County, in Wu's house, and started a big cleansing.
"I don't care how you relied on the old to sell the old, but now you have to recognize one thing clearly, those who betray the clan, kill without mercy!"
Amid Wu Zhi's furious shouts, several pale-faced young men screamed and were pushed out of the ancestral hall. Immediately there were screams, but there was no sound.
This scene shocked a group of people.
Wu Pheasant looked at the front row of the Wu family members, a few gray-haired old men frowned slightly: "The elder Wu Tongtian, and his son Wu Si, communicated with outsiders and leaked our military sentiments. According to the clan rules, they should be killed, but Seeing that he has worked so hard, let him spare his life for the time being!"
Before the rest of the people could breathe a sigh of relief, Wu Zhi's sneer sounded again: "However, the death penalty is inevitable, and the living crime is hard to forgive. Today, all the positions of Wu Tongtian and Wu Si will be abolished, and their homes will be confiscated! ... Don't worry, I will leave them behind." One house, ten acres of Susukida, and the children can go to the martial arts school of the family school in the future... "
This is actually more miserable than killing directly.
Even if they set an example within the clan, as long as they see the tragedy of this family, they will definitely be cleared up when they rebel next time.
"Now, as the head of the family, I ordered to abolish the Wu Patriarch Association. What's the point for you?"
After dealing with the traitors by means of thunder, all the members of the Wu family immediately chose to back down in the face of Wu Zhi's high spirits.
And through this big cleansing, she has completely grasped the power of the Wu family, and even promoted a group of close clansmen, which made her power more and more consolidated.
…
"According to the order of the Jiedu envoy, arrest the rebellious party, the idlers, etc., and stay away!"
Tread!
Accompanied by the roar, a group of dozens of cavalry rushed into a small town and surrounded the only inn.
"It's the Nanfeng cavalry!"
Looking at this brave and sturdy knight, every household in the town immediately closed their doors and windows, and hid under the quilt, shivering.
But the unlucky other pedestrians and merchants living in this inn have pale complexions, feeling that a catastrophe is imminent.
"Master! We are good people! Good people!"
The shopkeeper knelt down a long time ago, for fear that the other party would dislike him and give him a knife, and that would be death in vain.
Even if he doesn't die, if he is caught in prison, he will never get out without bleeding a lot.
"My lord! My subordinate Pedestrian's spy Wang San! Come and return!"
A thin bamboo man in soap clothes and hemp shoes with two mouse mustaches got up: "The enemy has been found out!"
"good!"
The cavalier waved his hand, and five or six soldiers immediately stepped forward and followed the thin bamboo poles to surround a guest room.
"Not good! It must be something about Zou Liang and Wu Lie!"
In the middle of the room, a man in black stood up. He was the envoy behind Mr. Zou back then, the secret leader of Dinghou here.
As early as the sound of the horse's hooves, this person was vigilant, leaning against the window, slightly opening a gap to check.
When he saw the cavalry pouring in, and a dozen or so people outside wandering around, surrounded by groups, cold sweat could not help but appear on his forehead, and his face was also full of despair.
The disparity between the enemy and ourselves has become a situation of catching the turtle in the urn, and it is really impossible to escape.
bang!
As footsteps approached, the door was knocked open, and five or six armored soldiers rushed in.
These are the elite of the army, but compared with the general commander's tooth soldiers, they have a terrible aura on their bodies, and if they join hands, even the masters will have a headache or two, and they are more invulnerable.
At this moment, with a blank expression on his face, he drew out the long knife.
"etc!"
The man in black gritted his teeth and immediately knelt down: "I am willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender! I am the chief spy of Dinghou, and I know all the details of the spies in the entire Chufeng and Nanfeng counties!"
"Haha... Mr. Kang's name, I have admired him for a long time, and he is indeed a gentleman who knows current affairs!"
The cavalry general who came in was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
Compared with a dead person, uprooting the intelligence network is naturally more creditable.
"Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to live in..."
Mr. Kang replied with a wry smile, but his heart was bleeding secretly.
He knew that if the news of his betrayal came out, the family members in Dingyuan County who were held by Marquis Ding would all be robbed.
However, the only way to die is through the ages!
I originally thought that I was also a generous and chivalrous man, and even for the sake of my family, I wanted to earn the title of a martyr, but when it came to life and death, I realized that this choice was actually so difficult!
…
Yunping County, in Wujiabao.
"I have taught Yuqing Taoism all my money, why does my sister insist on going to the mountain gate?"
Under the winter plum, Wu Ming frowned and asked.
Taoist Yuqing is just an old fox. Although the Earth Immortal is by no means omniscient, and it is even more impossible to deduce from Wu Qing to his relationship with him at a glance, it is not very good after all.
"Taoism is only one aspect... brother, you know it, and sister is dedicated to seeking Taoism. Since I know there is a paradise in the world, how can I not go and see it?"
Wu Qing was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat, standing timidly under a vigorous wintersweet tree, her peach face was red, but she was more delicate than a flower.
At this moment, she stretched out her jade-like catkins and straightened Wu Ming's collar: "My brother has grown up and married now, and I don't need my sister's protection anymore..."
The tone seemed to be very gratifying, Wu Ming was moved and then sighed.
Naturally, he was moved because of the love between siblings, but he sighed because he was no longer the playboy he was before.
And this secret will never be told to Wu Qing.
"Since my sister is so persistent, my younger brother can only wish you a smooth journey, future achievements in Taoism, ranking among the gods, and the longevity of heaven and earth..."
Wu Ming said helplessly, speaking of it, this was the result of Wu Qing's reading of miscellaneous news such as his silent travel notes.
"Slick tongue! But I still accept your good words!"
The corner of Wu Qing's mouth twitched into a soul-stirring smile, and suddenly a scarlet magic sword emerged, turning into a ray of light, wrapping her whole body, and disappearing like a startled dragon.
Only the murmur like silk bamboo flute still echoes in the same place:
"Yangliuqing and Qingjiang River are level, and I can hear the sound of singing on the Langjiang River. The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. There is no sunshine but there is sunshine..."
"Sentimental and merciless, why bother?"
Wu Ming stood silently for a long time, then sighed leisurely, got up and paced, and came to Wu Qing's boudoir unconsciously.
"Ah! Master Ming!"
A beautiful figure came out from behind, rubbing the corners of her skirt with her hands, saluting slightly uneasy, it was Li Xiuyun who was heartbroken and didn't know whether she should confess or not.
"Xiuyun, come with me!"
Wu Ming pushed open the door, and saw that Wu Qing's room was still as elegant as ever, but the picture scrolls on the wall disappeared. With the luxury of the Wu family today, Wu Qing only brought this thing with her when she went. .
"Here, I will leave it to you to take care of it in the future. It must be left intact, understand?"
Wu Ming said suddenly.
"Ming... got it! The maidservant will definitely come to clean the eldest lady in person every day!"
Li Xiuyun gave a little blessing: "Also... And... Young Master, Xiuyun..."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Wu Ming turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, but he could see that Li Xiuyun's spiritual platform is clear now, and his body is full of fresh air. It means that the sea of consciousness has been opened, and he has officially stepped into the cultivation level of Taoist priests who receive the scriptures. He can make a living on his own in the outside world. I have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
"No...it's nothing, it's just that, young master, Xiuyun has become very useful!"
Li Xiuyun met Wu Ming's eyes, her face blushed for no reason, and she even forgot what to say.
"Well, you are very useful! Very useful!"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes secretly: "If this little idiot really told me about the main temple, wouldn't he reveal everything? At least he must have guessed that I am also a reincarnation! No... With this little girl's brain circuit, I can't compare with Huang Ying. Still nothing compares... ”
"Remember in the future, talk less, do more, and remember to clean up every day, that's enough..."
Seeing Li Xiuyun like this, Wu Ming couldn't bear it a little bit: "I have already told Steward Wu, if you have any shortage or trouble in the future, just go to him, he will solve it for you! I will go out soon... the matter here I'm still very relieved to leave it to you!"
A Taoist priest who received the oracle can be a high-end diner in a large household in the county, and live a lifetime in peace and stability.
Wu Ming felt that if he abused the female workers so much, outsiders would definitely criticize him if they found out, so it was time to improve his treatment.
"Master is leaving?"
Li Xiuyun obviously only heard the second half of the sentence: "Where are you going?"
She seemed to know that she was being rude, and she blushed slightly: "This servant just feels that the journey is tiring and needs someone to wait on..."
"This... I really don't need it!"
Wu Ming hesitated for a moment. Since he was dressed as the young master of an ancient rich family, even if he changed his mind, the corrupt life of going in and out of slaves, and beautiful maids and maids warming the bed was still indispensable.
However, going out this time is extremely secretive, and it has something to do with the blood alliance, so why not bring a tail
Wu Ming felt that he was not so stupid.
"I have to say something to Wu Zhi..."
After dismissing the reluctant Li Xiuyun, Wu Ming rubbed the corners of his brows helplessly: "But this woman is busy plowing the courtyard and sweeping the acupoints, cleaning up her subordinates, and then replacing them with loyal ones, and then she might have to deal with Ding Yuan The army used by the county has been busy for a long time, so there should be no major problems... "
…
hum!
A ray of light disappeared in a flash, and Wu Ming's figure appeared after tens of feet away inadvertently.
After finishing a bunch of business, he went out immediately, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to deal with the blood alliance and other authorized persons.
"E Ji agreed quickly, without much complaint..."
Wu Ming felt that the relationship between this woman and him was more similar to that of a Taoist couple, with a hint of like-mindedness.
It's just that what she pursues is personal detachment, but what she seeks is the ambition of leveling the world, the detachment of the whole world.
"However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. I have a hunch that even if Wu Zhi finally flattens the world's princes and unifies China, I'm afraid it will still be a trap in the end!"
After sighing, Wu Ming swept his spiritual sense to confirm that there was no one around, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "It's time too!"
