Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey

Chapter 279: Do not obey the edict

Views:

Seeing that the Marquis of Jibei was acting abnormally, the imperial envoy twisted his body and felt a little uneasy: "Marquis of Jibei, you don't obey the imperial edict?"

After saying this, the imperial envoy calmed down, his eyes became cold and vicious, and he snorted, "You are a Marquis, a second-grade official. You have been in the court for a long time. Don't you know that thunder, rain, and dew are all the kindness of the emperor, and the emperor calls the minister to death? Have to die?"

"It's just reducing your military power and punishing you with half a year's salary. How dare you not obey the imperial edict?"

As he said that, the imperial envoy had already drafted the manuscript in his mind. With this attitude alone, he could go back and report to the emperor and punish him for a serious treason. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Hou Tu of Jibei stand up with a ferocious expression: "It is true that I did not obey the imperial edict. , it’s just a dream to think that I can be captured without any help.”

"Marquis Jibei, do you know what you are talking about?" The imperial envoy was shocked and pointed.

"I know it, but why should I obey the imperial edict?" The Marquis of Jibei smiled ferociously, and grabbed the imperial edict. He only glanced at it, and then with a strong force, there was a "hiss" sound, and it was torn into two halves.

Although the voice was small, because the Marquis of Jibei delayed in obeying the edict, the officials who were kneeling with sore knees trembled all over. They straightened their necks and looked at each other, their ears were buzzing, and they simply could not accept that they heard it. if.

"Tear up the imperial edict?"

"This is something that won't happen for hundreds of years."

The officials had never seen this scene before, and they were all frightened and stunned. There were some discussions at first, but now it was silent and no one could speak.

"Ji Guogong, Yongyin Marquis, Pingyun Marquis, Wu Shunbo, all of them were killed or killed. The emperor's heart is known to the world!" The Marquis of Jibei forced himself on the imperial envoy and roared loudly: "You villains, you are shouting for the country every day. Eliminate traitors and regard us and other heroes who have been fighting for decades as enemies."

"Some people have said that even if there is injustice, even if the killing is wrong, it is for the overall interests of the billions of people in the world!" The Marquis of Jibei looked at the imperial envoy: "I admire your words very much. If it is for the overall interests, how can it not be wrong? Bleeding? Start from here!"

As he said that, he heard a "crack" sound and pulled out the knife brazenly.

This actually happened in an instant. The governor was stunned and stood upright on his knees in shock. Seeing this situation, he finally came to his senses, stood up, and shouted: "You dare!"

But it was too late. The Marquis of Jibei smiled ferociously: "I want to see if you have a heart of iron and a body of bronze!"

At that moment, I couldn't help but stabbed, and there was only a "pop" sound. The knife penetrated straight through the chest, and the bloody tip of the knife was revealed at the back...

The imperial envoy screamed, and before he died, he pointed desperately: "Rebel... traitor!"

"It's nothing more than that, why can't you see that you are invulnerable?" The Marquis of Jibei drew his sword, and the imperial envoy screamed. He could no longer stand, and fell to his knees. The Marquis of Jibei didn't give up, and the sword flashed, and in an instant, a bullet fell down. The head flew out and blood spurted three feet straight.

This situation was a rare sight in hundreds of years. Several of the kneeling officials had black eyes and fainted on the spot.

Governor Gong Yun was shocked, trembling all over, and pointed: "Thief, how dare you... take it, take it!"

Before the governor's words could be finished, the soldiers guarding the imperial envoy rushed forward to capture the Marquis of Jibei. Almost at the same time, the soldiers of the Marquis of Jibei also stepped forward.

"Kill the traitor!" At the city gate, a school captain was stunned. Only then did he wake up and shouted, and hundreds of people rushed forward.

Seeing that there were about 200 people united, and the Marquis of Jibei only had 20 or 30 soldiers, at this moment, there was a "boom", shouts of killing suddenly appeared in the forest, and dense soldiers poured out.

Just listen to the general shouting: "Shoot!"

"Swish, swish, swish," the first group of thirty people were all holding military crossbows, and they were all elites. A rain of arrows fell, and more than ten imperial soldiers fell down screaming.

The person who was not hit by the arrow opened his mouth wide, his whole body was cold, and his hair stood on end.

"Draw the sword and kill!"

In an instant, Tie Liu rushed forward and killed them into a mass.

"Kill the thief!" Someone from the governor's side shouted. These people were rich in martial arts. They could block a knife, stab with a long knife, and the iron armor clanged, but the penetration was not deep. The armor soldiers stabbed at the same time, piercing the inside and penetrating the chest.

Drawing the knife, the man screamed heart-breakingly and fell out.

"Kill, kill, kill!" In ancient battles, there was a huge difference between having iron armor and not having armor. Not everyone in the Marquis of Jibei's army had iron armor, but at this time, there were three who were the first to fight to the death. Hundred iron armor.

These people were chopped with clanging sounds, and they were only injured or not injured at all. But when these people were chopped with long swords, they were invincible and screamed in agony.

In just an instant, almost all of the imperial envoy's soldiers died, and the governor's soldiers also suffered heavy casualties.

A burly Governor-General was standing in front of him. He seemed to be the top expert, and he was also holding a mace. At this moment, he shouted loudly, and the mace struck down. The first armored soldier raised his sword to block it. The long sword flew out, and the remaining force hit him hard. Although he had iron armor on his body, the man groaned and fell out. His mouth was bleeding continuously and he was dead.

"Kill!" But the army was full of soldiers who had been fighting for a long time. With just one command, a group of spears stabbed directly, the mace was swept on the spot, and all the spears flew away.

With just one sweep, two more people were swept out, and they were dead.

"Shoot!" Someone was dying, and there was a popping sound, and there was a sudden burst of blood. This warrior could have resisted if he had been wearing armor, but now despite being swept away by the mace, he was still hit by several arrows. No matter how brave he was, he couldn't stand it. He stopped and let out a heartbreaking scream.

With one slash, the head flew out with a pop.

"kill!"

More and more corpses fell, and blood flowed all over the ground. Most of them were people from the governor's side. The people from the governor's side finally couldn't resist and collapsed.

"Those who surrender will not be killed, those who surrender will not be killed." Shouting, the remaining people knelt down, and those who refused to kneel were immediately surrounded and killed.

The Marquis of Jibei laughed when he saw it.

Governor Gong Yun's whole body trembled, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth: "You, you dare to rebel, you will not end well."

The Marquis of Jibei waved his hand, and several soldiers came forward and tied up the governor. The Marquis of Jibei said coldly: "All of them are tied up. Don't kill them yet. Find the military symbols, enter the city immediately, and send people to take over the military camp."

"yes!"

Tea stall in the distance

When the sound of killing broke out, everyone immediately dispersed. The old Taoist sat there blankly. At this time, he saw the light yellow snake of Ji Beihou circling, exuding waves, and a trace of black air appeared. The light yellow snake immediately shrank. In a circle, but almost at the same time, the yellow snake pounced towards a large cloud of yellow air, about to devour it.

With a groan that sounded like a dragon but not a dragon, the old Taoist suddenly closed his eyes, and two lines of bloody tears fell.

Shuiying tent banquet

When Cai Zhenyuan arrived, he saw four soldiers standing in front of the tent, all standing upright like nails. Cai Zhenyuan was a little surprised. These four faces were unfamiliar and he had never seen them before.

But at this time, Yu couldn't hesitate and stepped into the big tent.

The tent was very large, supported by wooden pillars, and seemed slightly dark. A group of people were already seated. There were several tables for the banquet, and everyone from the top of the camp was invited. This was the last time Chen Ping summoned him as a general, and everyone was invited. face.

The dishes on the table are in line with the taste of the military. They are meaty and fishy. The main course is roast pig, which has been cut into square pieces in advance and roasted until it is brown and mouth-watering.

Zhang Ping sat in the middle, wearing a brand-new fourth-grade official uniform, with a school captain standing behind him.

"Everyone!" Zhang Ping said with a faint look: "Many of you are my old subordinates, and the new ones have been with me for a few years. I thought I might still be able to join you. I don't want anyone to impeach me. It’s really humiliating and makes me sick.”

"Let's not talk about it for now. Come on, let me toast you all..."

Although Zhang Ping's tone was calm, most of the people present were old subordinates who had been with him for many years. Hearing these words, even Cai Zhenyuan, who had been torn apart and promoted to General of Travels, felt his heart sink and raised his glass: "Please!"

After a few glasses of wine, everyone in the military academy relaxed. At first, the atmosphere was serious, but later on, everyone was enjoying their meals, the wine was intoxicating, and they gradually started talking more and more.

At first they were talking about things in the army, and then someone talked about trade, and how some retired people were on board the ship, but they also made a lot of money.

Some people even thought that once Zhang Ping left, Cai Zhenyuan, who had made great military exploits, would probably take over. At that moment, a certain Yingzheng was drunk. Regardless of the fact that this was Zhang Ping's farewell banquet, he stumbled up and poured wine for Cai Zhenyuan. , someone started, and others followed, and at once there were more than a dozen people cheering and toasting.

Some of Chen Ping's old subordinates felt that they were flattering Cai Zhenyuan at Zhang Ping's resignation banquet, and they were almost directly embarrassed, with angry faces on their faces.

Some neutral people also felt that this behavior was distasteful, and they were vaguely divided into three camps for a while.

Zhang Ping didn't get angry, he just sneered. At this moment, the sound of cannons was faintly heard from the city gate. This might be to receive the imperial envoys. These people didn't take it seriously, but then there was a faint cry of killing.

The generals were all veterans. They could immediately tell whether they were fighting or not. They were all surprised. Someone was about to go. Seeing the noise, Zhang Ping's face turned red. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "No noise, please listen to the navy." I order that no one can touch it without permission."

After this order, the whole place fell silent and looked at each other. Cai Zhenyuan was startled, stared at Zhang Ping, and took a step forward: "General Zhang, what are you talking about? There is chaos in the city. Even though we are the navy, we must go and take a look. "

"Really? I am the general. Without my order, whoever dares to move will be punished on the spot!"

Cai Zhenyuan knew something was wrong and looked up to the sky and laughed: "You have been suspended from duty. You are not a general and have no right to issue orders. Come on, follow me!"

Cai Zhenyuan led his soldiers and wanted to leave.

"Really?" Chen Ping stared with red eyes: "Come here, put Cai Zhenyuan to death immediately!"

"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, the captain behind Chen Ping immediately drew out his sword and stabbed him. Cai Zhenyuan dodged and only stabbed his shoulder. He held back and shouted: "Chen Ping rebelled, hurry up and rush out." .”

A few battalions hesitated and followed, while the rest looked at each other.

"Kill!" More than 20 soldiers rushed into the tent and chopped them down. There were only a few people on Cai Zhenyuan's side, only carrying knives. The soldiers who rushed in were all wearing armor. As soon as they looked at each other, they killed several of them immediately. people.

"puff"

Seeing that something was not going well, a soldier behind Cai Zhenyuan drew a knife and stabbed him in the back. He twisted the knife and said coldly: "General Cai, I'm sorry. I was forced into this too."

Cai Zhenyuan fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and blood spurted out with foam.

"Kill!" The rest of Yingzheng, who was following him, immediately killed him on the spot.

"Haha" Chen Ping smiled coldly and glanced at the tent: "The Marquis of Jibei wants to take over the throne. I agree. Who else is dissatisfied now?"

"If you don't accept it, you can die immediately. I will help him!" For a while, there was only roaring in the tent.
