"It turns out it's true, it's true." After being struck by the sword, Qi Aiguo's eyes shed tears of blood, and he just pointed a finger: "Bound!"
Zhou An used his magic power and wanted to avoid it, but his body froze and he couldn't move.
"You are all going to die." Qi Aiguo's eyes were cold, but there was steam on his body, and traces of pink air seeped out, making Zhou An tremble. This was a sign that the magic power had drained out the medicine. In the midst of panic, " "Pah!" A heavy slap in the face, which made him dizzy and flew away.
"Kang" was so heavy that half of Zhou An's teeth flew out, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. After Qi Aiguo finished the blow, blood flowed out again, and he stretched out his hand to touch the wound with a pale face.
There was a faint light on his hand, and the bleeding from the wound had stopped a lot, but the Taoist's treatment only healed it slightly, and he wrapped it with a cloth, then picked up the sword and headed towards Zhou An who fell to the ground.
Zhou An's face was full of fear. Looking at Qi Aiguo who was full of murderous intent, he shouted: "You can't kill me, I am the disciple of the leader."
After Zhou An said this, he gradually calmed down, and his voice became louder and louder: "I am the disciple of the leader, and my father donated three thousand taels to the Holy Prison Sect!"
"Do you know what the concept of three thousand taels is? The imperial princess only has one thousand five hundred taels of rice a year and two thousand guan of silver. The Prince of Chengshun County who is attacking Yingzhou has only five thousand taels of silver per year!"
"You are a dragster in the door, can you make any contribution to the door?"
"Even if I break the commandments, I have to be temporarily captured by the elders, and it must be handed over to the head for judgment!"
"If you dare to touch a hair on my head, you will be punished at the door."
Qi Aiguo's expression became colder and colder, and he asked coldly: "Senior Brother Zhou, have you finished speaking?"
Zhou An was startled. Before he could change his mind, he saw Qi Aiguo straighten his sword, and heard a "pop" sound. The tip of the sword pierced his chest and came out from behind.
Zhou An shook his body, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face, he screamed and fell out, blood splattered on the wall.
Qi Aiguo pulled out and pushed forward. Zhou An was not dead for a moment, screaming and struggling, with incredible fear in his eyes, shouting: "Junior sister, I was wrong, spare me, save me, save me quickly, I can still be saved."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Qi Aiguo stared blankly. With a stab of the sword, Zhou An's screams stopped, blood mist spurted out, and the ground on his body was covered with blood. He opened his eyes wide and gradually died.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Qi Aiguo threw the sword on the ground and curled up in the corner, tears streaming down his face.
It took a long time for Qi Aiguo to struggle. Although she was young, she also knew that killing the head disciple of the sect would cause great disaster, not to mention having no backer.
Thinking of his master's instructions, Qi Aiguo wiped away his tears, carefully took off his blood-stained clothes, bandaged the wound, put on a new dress, closed the quiet room, and walked down the stone steps.
For Qi Aiguo, after not seeing him for more than ten days, the entire mountain road was already lush and green. He walked along the green tiles and pink walls. He didn't even see a single person. He could only hear the faint sound of music, and it seemed like someone was drinking and joking.
Qi Aiguo thought for a moment, then reached a side door, pushed it gently, and then went in with the door ajar. As soon as he entered, he heard someone shouting: "Who is it?"
Qi Aiguo saw at a glance that he was a middle-aged man. He was also a Taoist. He had never opened the Heavenly Gate in his life. Now he was dealing with chores, so he said, "It's me!"
Although her face was pale due to the injury, her expression was calm. The middle-aged Taoist had no doubts and immediately changed her smile: "It turns out to be Master Nephew Qi. You are not in Xuanji Cave. What's wrong?"
"It's getting hot. I'll go back to my room and get some clothes to change." Qi Aiguo said it perfectly. All kinds of things, including food, can be handled by the outer disciples, but there are still some problems with personal clothing. Awkward.
"Hey, it's getting hot, so I need to change some clothes. Some cloth and silk were recently distributed at the door. I'll cut a few pieces for you." The middle-aged Taoist said.
Qi Aiguo knew that he had not had time to know the news of his master's death, so he just responded and turned around to go inside and follow the corridor. This is the area where the elders live. The small building is hidden among the bamboo trees. When he reaches a place, he climbs up the stairs. , pushed open the door.
Qi Aiguo looked at it in a daze. Except for a little dust, he saw that the room was still clean. All the furnishings were still there, a few books were piled on the desk, and the bed curtains were still up. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the master would When he came in to talk, he was covering his face and letting tears flow silently, when a jade sign flashed his mind.
She was startled, then rushed forward, touched it, and a memory flashed out. The old Taoist appeared. Qi Aiguo looked at it and shouted in surprise: "Master, are you okay?"
But I heard the projection say: "Aiguo, if you see this, I may not be able to help you anymore. As long as I am here, you will have a place in the door."
"Without me, I can honestly say that the Holy Prison Gate is not a good place for a woman like you."
"This is the magic weapon I left for you especially. It contains the secret book behind opening the Heavenly Sect, and it can hide certain secrets. If something happens, go to the capital, where the Taoist Sect cannot develop, but it is safe!"
As the words fell and the projection gradually disappeared, Qi Aiguo couldn't bear it any longer and choked up in a low voice.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a noise in the distance. She suddenly woke up and rushed out with the jade sign. Along the steps, she took one last look at the mountain gate, her eyes melancholy, and she disappeared into the mountain road.
Later, a Taoist suddenly shouted: "No, Senior Brother Zhou has been killed."
"There are traces of blood, hurry up, use your spiritual beast to catch up." Someone was furious: "She can't escape far!"
Yuan'an County
Huge rocks roared in the air, and there was a sudden "boom". A city wall could not withstand the continuous bombardment and finally broke. The officers and soldiers of the imperial court poured in like the flood from the gate, creating a dark red in an instant.
These days, the officers and soldiers tried their best and used various methods, resulting in heavy casualties, but they finally broke through the city.
It was said that this was completely beyond Pei Ziyun's expectations. It seemed that King Lu wanted to respond, so the resistance was beyond imagination, but fighting spirit was not everything. The city was finally broken. The iron flow collided with each other, stabbing, slashing, and poking. In an instant, it was up again. Hundreds of people fell down, blood soaking into the ground.
"The real person has his life. If he does not surrender, he will be killed without mercy!" Someone shouted. Listening to this order, the enemy soldiers had to resist desperately and were bruised and strong to support themselves. However, the iron current rushed over and the dying people were quickly submerged in more In the light of the sword.
The staggered corpses kept falling down, the city was crying and screaming, and fireworks were billowing. Pei Ziyun climbed onto a cleared city wall and watched silently.
"Master, the traitors have been defeated. As long as you are willing to surrender, the fighting will stop."
"This kind of fighting will not only kill many soldiers, but also hurt the people!" County Magistrate Wei Yu kowtowed repeatedly.
Pei Ziyun didn't even look at it, and smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm kind and have forgiven many people, so more people are lucky. Let's not talk about thieves and generals, we can barely call them their own masters."
"It is really strange that the officials and big households in the city have been favored by the emperor for a long time. If the enemy's army is strong, they will fight back, but if it declines, they will not take the risk of internal rebellion."
"Thieves can kill people and exterminate clans, but the imperial court can't?"
"If we follow the military law during wartime, we have to cleanse the city for three days to let people know the consequences of resistance." Pei Ziyun glanced at the county magistrate Wei Yu and said: "But after all, it's not like it used to be, and it's not up to the soldiers to take care of themselves - You wait for the county magistrate to immediately lead his men and raid the homes of all the officials and big households in the city according to the list."
"All males over the age of ten will be beheaded."
"Master, you must not do it, you must not do it, this will harm the benevolence of the court!" After hearing this, the county magistrate Wei Yu immediately said passionately.
"You don't obey the order?" Pei Ziyun squeezed out a voice between his teeth, which made people shudder. The county magistrate Wei Yu felt a chill in his heart for a moment, but the words had already been spoken and he said loudly: "This matter is worse than killing prisoners. , it will harm Tianhe, and it will be difficult for lower officials to obey orders."
"Okay, now you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. If you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, why did you become a thief that day?"
"Come here, kill this man as a thief and a rebel." Pei Ziyun was furious and roared. The soldiers rushed forward, knocked off the black gauze hat, and dragged him down.
"You dare, you dare?" County Magistrate Wei Yu shouted.
"What dare I not do? Pull him down and kill him!" Pei Ziyun laughed ferociously. After a while, he heard a scream. A moment later, the head was presented to him. It was the head of the county magistrate Wei Yu.
The surrounding county magistrates suddenly trembled with fear. Pei Ziyun smiled darkly and asked again: "You refuse to obey?"
"I have received your order." Several county magistrates bowed down together. Pei Ziyun regained his composure and turned to an armored captain and said, "You send troops to follow the county magistrate to search the house. Each team will follow the civil servants and record them." The family's money and goods must be confiscated, and not only must these be distributed as rewards and pensions to the soldiers, but they must also be handed over to the court."
"You are the captain sent by the imperial court to hold the Emperor's Sword. It is best for you to participate in this errand."
"Yes!" The captain was unmoved and ordered him to go out. In a moment, he saw groups of armored soldiers forming up and running quickly into the city. There were not many people in each group, but they were more than enough to raid homes.
Zhang Mansion
"Boom!" With a sound, the door of a house was broken open, and a group of soldiers poured in. The house was shocked and angry. A middle-aged man came out with his servants, forcing a smile: "I am an official in the imperial court, and I have also contacted the imperial court. , is this a misunderstanding?"
Before he finished speaking, a team member was laughing ferociously: "The real person has the order, and anyone who is still unwilling to turn inward and rebel at this point is a thief and will be killed without mercy!"
As he said that, regardless of the reason, he stabbed with the long knife, and there was only a "pop" sound. The middle-aged man screamed and fell out. He fell to the ground and was dead. His eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face. !
"Ah!" the servant shouted!
"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers poured in and pointed their swords at them. More than a dozen people were immediately chopped to the ground. Except for women and children, they almost killed everyone they saw.
A low-ranking captain looked at them coldly and shouted: "No cheating, no hiding gold and silver secretly. The real person said it, and they will all be rewarded to the brothers later."
"Anyone who dares to reach out at this time will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Before he finished speaking, the sound of killing in the distance gradually stopped. The county magistrate who followed him sighed. He knew that the resistance of the rebel army had basically ended, but what followed were the killings of big officials in the city.
"As a thief, the court's forgiveness is a grace, and its unforgiveness is a matter of course. No one can say that it is wrong." He said this, but seeing the big officials treated like this, he could not help but feel sad.
