Surrounded by silence, those Nanliang people trembled like weeds in the wind and rain.
Li Deguang and the others all had cold faces, without any soft-heartedness.
Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If Nanliang conquered Nanjiang, it would be the people in Nanjiang who were bullied, humiliated, and killed by Nanliang.
In the silence, suddenly there was a loud and clear eagle cry, and everyone followed the sound subconsciously, only to see a sturdy eagle flying into the air, flying straight into the sky like a bamboo, shocking everyone...
The corners of Xiao Yi's lips curled up, he smiled vigorously, and said loudly: "My son asks again, are you convinced?!"
There was still a dead silence all around, and then, I don't know who was the first to stagger and kneel in the sea of black and white insects. As if contagious, one after another they all knelt down and knocked their foreheads on the insect corpse.
Seeing these Nanliang people knelt down one by one, the soldiers of the Youqi Battalion were also very excited. As expected of the Shizi, the first move was a blockbuster.
All the soldiers stared at Xiao Yi, as if there was a voice in their hearts saying, as long as the prince is around, their Southern Border Army will be invincible!
Nangong Yue who was still sitting on the chair raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yi who was a few feet away, and looked at his unbelievably handsome side face, she was hardly willing to blink.
Her Ah Yi is as dazzling as the sun!
How lucky she is!
"Ah Yue." Xiao Yi seemed to feel her gaze, looked at her with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to her...
Nangong Yue raised her right wrist, put it on Xiao Yi's big palm, stood up, and the two walked down the wooden platform hand in hand in the eyes of everyone.
Wherever they passed, those Nanliang people who were prostrate on the ground spontaneously stepped back on their knees and backed away to make way.
Li Deguang and nearly a hundred soldiers of the Youqi Battalion followed closely behind the two masters, all of them were serious and serious, and the vigor released from their bodies made those Nanliang people tremble all over, and they crawled even lower.
There was hardly even the sound of breathing in the surroundings, only the sound of Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and the others stepping on the countless insect corpses.
Click, click, click...
It was like a curse reverberating in the ears of all Nanliang people.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue left without looking back, leaving Lu Pingyao and the remaining soldiers of the Youqi Battalion to deal with the aftermath.
Li Deguang led Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue all the way to the Governor's Mansion in the city, until they reached the main hall of the mansion.
"How's the investigation going?" Xiao Yi sat down on the high-backed chair at the top, and asked Li Deguang straightforwardly, while Nangong Yue sat down casually.
Xiao Yi asked endless questions, but Li Deguang, who was standing in the hall, of course knew what Shizi was asking.
This matter is very important, he subconsciously glanced at Nangong Yue, thinking that since the eldest son did not let the imperial concubine avoid it, he clasped his fists and replied: "Back to the eldest son, Modler is currently hiding in the city of Lagoon. middle."
The Model Li Deguang mentioned was the eldest grandson of the former Nanliang royal family. He is only five years old now. Before Wuli city was destroyed at the end of last year, he was quietly sent out of the city by the confidants of the Nanliang king. Now, those Nanliang remnants did not give up and secretly appointed the young Modler as the new king of Nanliang, which seemed to be coercing the emperor to make the princes.
Since Guan Yubai arrived in Nanliang a few months ago, most of his energy has been focused on the livelihood of the people in Nanliang and conquering the hearts of the people, while the other part is to find a way to cut off the remnants of Nanliang, so that the remaining flames have not yet ignited. From the very beginning, it was extinguished at the beginning.
For these, Xiao Yi naturally knew, so he also expected that Guan Yubai would send the Youqiying camp here, there must be some intention.
Sure enough, I heard Li Deguang report in an orderly manner: "Aliman Muchan of the Pious Thought Sect has always been enshrined by the Nanliang royal family. There is no dispute in the world. However, when the last general arrived at the Old Lake City this time, he found that he was spreading the insect disaster wantonly. He was obviously trying to use the insect disaster to stir up civil unrest in the Old Lake City. The last general and Lu Guangyao were ordered by the Marquis of An Yi Standing still and investigating secretly, it was confirmed that the remnants of Nanliang were the mastermind behind it. Even, in order to raise his arms and shout out after the insect disaster and stir up public anger, Modler also hid in the Temple of Devotion in Old Lake City."
Xiao Yi propped one hand on the table beside him, and asked leisurely, resting his cheek, "What does An Yihou mean?"
Li Deguang replied respectfully: "Master Hou ordered the general to play hard to capture."
"Then act according to Marquis An Yi's will." Xiao Yi said casually, as if it was an insignificant matter.
"Yes, my son." Li Deguang accepted the order with cupped fists, and quickly withdrew.
On this day, after the plague of insects in the market square came, another wave of storms hit Old Lake City.
The Qianfeng Temple in the south of the city was besieged by thousands of soldiers from the Southern Border Army. All the worshipers and believers in the temple were killed and captured...
Of course, such a big commotion has also attracted the attention of the people in the city, but after the incident of the black dead bug, these people have long been shocked by the iron-blooded style of the prince of Zhennan. Around the city, believers of Pious Thoughts knelt down and bowed humbly, for fear of being angered by the gods.
Tossing until dusk, there were still soldiers from the Southern Border Army searching the streets for the remnants who had escaped from Qianfeng Temple, while Li Deguang brought two captured Nanliang generals back to the capital governor's mansion to seek Xiao Yi's return.
Xiao Yi waved his hand casually, signaling them to take the two Nanliang generals down and interrogate them as they like. He took his stinky girl out to play this time, so there is no need to waste his time on such things.
After taking the man away, Li Deguang clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Modler has been escorted out of the Old Lake City."
Xiao Yi nodded slightly, the smile on his face remained unchanged.
Modler said it was "escaping", but they actually let him go on purpose.
With Modler around, these remnants of Nanliang will focus on him and gather around him. They just need to catch them all at once from time to time. And once Modeler is gone, without such a person who has the blood of the Nanliang royal family, those people will fall apart and run their own affairs, which will be troublesome.
The civil unrest in Zhuangliang Lake was suppressed silently, without any disturbance.
Xiao Yi adhered to the attitude of coming out to play this time, and no longer care about this matter. Anyway, with the arrangement of Guan Yubai, everything is sure to be in order.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue spent another two days playing in the Old Lake City before continuing their journey southward. On the way, they heard that the Southern Frontier Army and the remnants of the former Nanliang royal family had fought in the Fujia Mountain area. It took a day and a night to completely wipe out the former Southern King Liang's army was 5,000 people, and the "grandson" Modler escaped again under the escort of Grand Marshal Li Ke Ang, like a dog in mourning.
It took them six full days to travel around the mountains and rivers, and finally arrived outside the city of Wuli, the former capital of Nanliang.
Xiao Yi pointed to the front and said with high spirits: "A few miles ahead is Wuli City."
Although they traveled leisurely and contentedly on this journey, turning the journey that only took four days into more than six days, since leaving southern Xinjiang, the journey of more than ten days still made Nangong Yue's face a little tired.
Thinking that Wuli City was ahead, she unconsciously accelerated the speed of the horse.
Soon, a tall and thick city wall appeared in front of us, and Wuli City finally arrived.
After half a year, the once dilapidated city wall has been repaired, and there is no more smoke from all directions, and the tragic battle situation of that day has not been seen at all.
Xiaohui above suddenly let out an excited cry, and flew forward, Nangong Yue subconsciously followed the sound, and saw a white shadow passing by the high city wall, as if there was an invisible eagle cry coming from the front Come.
Nangong Yue cheered up, and blurted out: "It's Han Yu!" She showed a bright smile, "A Yi, look, Han Yu is here to pick us up."
During the words, Han Yu had already flown hundreds of meters away, and met Xiao Hui in the air. The two eagles circled around each other, and from time to time they let out joyous cries, which made the smile on Nangong Yue's face deepen.
For a moment, I didn't feel like I was in a foreign country, as if I was still in Luoyue City.
She glanced at Xiao Yi with a smile, and the two of them looked at each other with a smile, and then they both clamped their horses, and rode the horses to gallop, and the mood became more open amidst the cries of eagles and the sound of horseshoes...
The generals guarding the city recognized Xiao Yi, and immediately stepped forward to greet him, and hurriedly ordered someone to communicate.
Xiao Yi was very familiar with this city that was single-handedly built, so he raised his hand as a sign of excuses, and then led Nangong Yue to the south along the street facing the city gate until the Nanliang Palace appeared in front of him.
According to the original rules of the Nanliang royal family, except for the king of Nanliang, everyone must dismount at the first palace gate, but now this rule is a thing of the past.
Nanliang has long since ceased to exist, this land is Xiao Yi's territory!
Before Xiao Yi and his party arrived, numerous palace gates were opened one after another. After passing through eight palace gates, a familiar slender figure was waiting behind the last palace gate.
The man is handsome and elegant, with black eyes that are as calm as ink, the corners of his mouth are lightly raised, and his smile is light. The golden sunlight gently sprinkles on his body, making his fair skin like jade. Just standing there, people can't help Ignore him.
It is the official language.
"Xiao Bai!" Before the horse stopped, Xiao Yi quickly got off his horse and said with a smile, "I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"
Xiao Yi talked nonsense, but of course Guan Yubai knew what he was talking about, and said with a smile: "The people of Nanliang are tough, build a country with force, and believe in the strong first. Force reduction has always been simpler and more effective than outsmarting .”
For the subjugated Nanliang, it is obviously more time-saving and labor-saving to subdue the remaining evils and use force directly. But what this force needs is "absolute force", just like what Xiao Yi did in Zhuanghu City, killing decisively! Only this time, the rioting people were completely subdued, so that they did not dare to have any rebellious hearts. The goal that originally took ten days and a half months to sort out was completely achieved in just one day.
However, in the entire southern border army, only Xiao Yi can do it! Anyone other than him would end up causing civil unrest. Because no one has Xiao Yi's prestige in the Southern Border Army, and no one is like him, making the people of Nanliang terrified.
Guan Yubai always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "A Yi, you have saved me a lot of trouble."
"Haha," Xiao Yi let out a hearty laugh, and said triumphantly, "Xiaobai, I will be ashamed if you praise me so much!"
Hearing this, even Nangong Yue couldn't help but twitched her brows, and then met Xiao Si's dark eyes, as if saying, Hey, take care of your family!
Nangong Yue spread her hands helplessly, if she could control Xiao Yi, would Xiao Yi still be Xiao Yi
Her eyes with a hint of pride were not convincing at all.
Xiaosi turned her gaze away, not bothering to pay attention to the "pot cover" couple.
Afterwards, Nangong Yue went up to meet with Guan Yubai, and they entered the Riyao Palace in front of him together with Guan Yubai.
The palace of Nanliang Palace is naturally magnificent, with marble floors like ink paintings, red velvet carpets, colorful murals, carved beams and painted pillars... The whole palace exudes a strong exotic style, and Nangong Yue is dizzying.
The three of them casually sat down on a few high-backed chairs at the side, and after the palace servants served hot tea and snacks in trepidation, they were dismissed by Xiao Si with a cold look, leaving only Xiao Si to accompany him aside.
After taking two sips of hot tea, Nangong Yue felt a little better all over, and smiled as she listened to Guan Yubai talking to Xiao Yi about his coming to Nanliang.
Since Guan Yubai arrived in Nanliang, he had someone transfer over the dossiers of Nanliang for nearly a hundred years, including agriculture, water conservancy, commerce, water and land transportation, laws, land tax system, disasters, etc., and it took nearly a month. Time to sort out.
At that time, he noticed this pest plague called black death bug.
Although this kind of black dead insect has never been seen in Dayu, it is described in the dossier as terrifying. But putting aside the so-called "theory of gods and ghosts", after careful study of the files, Guan Yubai found that it was actually very similar to Dayu's locust. This kind of insect is a solitary insect, and only when it encounters some kind of "stimulus", it will suddenly become fond of living in groups, thus turning into a plague of insects.
Unlike locusts, black dead insects not only destroy crops, but also eat humans and animals. One black death bug might be nothing, even if it is bitten, it would be fine, but if tens of thousands of them attack at the same time, it will instantly turn the huge monster like a cow into a white bone, and thus Let the people of Nanliang be intimidated by hearing it.
Guan Yubai also noticed an interesting phenomenon from some clues mentioned in the dossier, that is, the royal family of Nanliang seemed to have discovered a way to "stimulate" the black dead insect.
For example, thirty years ago, before taking the throne, the King of Nanliang at that time used the "Black Death Bug" to eradicate his biggest competitor, and classified it as a natural disaster.
If this guess is correct, these Nanliang remnants are likely to use the black death bug to make "history repeat itself"...
"Early summer is the season when black dead insects breed in large numbers. If it is as I expected, this is the best time." Guan Yubai took a sip of tea, his face elegant and indifferent, "Whether they want to use black dead insects, Or other methods to stir up civil unrest, the most important ones are Lagohu City, Fenglin City and Heaiao City. Responding to the response from the surrounding cities, riots broke out everywhere. Therefore, I divided the Youqi Battalion into three and placed them in these three cities respectively, just to experience it. It was Li Deguang and the others who got the news first."
After learning what Aliman did in Lagoon City, Guan Yubai knew the time had come.
"Shizifei." Guan Yubai asked with a smile, "Did you make the insect repellent used that day?"
Nangong Yue nodded and said, "I saw the insect repellant written on the silk paper by Mr. Guan, and the insecticide is made on this basis."
Guan Yubai's original plan was to prevent the pests from appearing and make Aliman's prophecy come to nothing, and the prescription of this insect repellent was found in some royal family files. Nangong Yue's ignorance of the black death bug doesn't mean she can't understand the prescription. After adjusting the prescription, she suddenly got a fatal result for the black death bug.
At that time, Xiao Yi originally wanted to use random arrows stained with kerosene to kill those insects. Although the fire would cause a lot of damage, Xiao Yi didn't care. However, after Nangong Yue figured out the formula, Xiao Yi also changed his plan accordingly. The final effect is quite amazing!
"The black dead insects have been rampant in Nanliang for a long time, but Shi Zifei's medicine is extremely beneficial to people's livelihood." Guan Yubai said.
Both Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai wanted to manage the Nanliang Kingdom that had been conquered with great difficulty. If the threat of the black death bug could be eliminated, it would be of great benefit to Nanliang.
Conquering a country is just a small path, and completely recovering it is the most important thing.
Guan Yubai continued: "Now the situation in Nanliang has improved. The original Nanliang royal family has been fighting for years, and several big cities seem to be prosperous, but some villages and towns are recruiting soldiers and food, and the people have long been miserable. For ordinary people, as long as those in power give them a way to survive, and no one deliberately provokes them, they will gradually forget about the subjugation of the country for a long time, and in the end, who is the king of Nanliang and what influence does it have on them?!"
Xiao Yi hurriedly served tea and water graciously, and said with a smile: "Xiao Bai, I am good at fighting and so on. You are enough for these things."
Xiao Yi has many generals who are brave and good at fighting, but none of them are capable of governing the country.
Fortunately, the official language is still there!
Xiao Yi blinked and looked at him with burning eyes.
Guan Yubai couldn't help laughing, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything in silence.
Nangong Yue couldn't help being infected with a smile, and the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably.
They continued talking, and Nangong Yue listened carefully at first, but gradually, for some reason, she became more and more tired, and her head became uncontrollable bit by bit.
"Ah Yue..."
Xiao Yi naturally noticed it, and hurriedly looked at Nangong Yue, seeing the unconcealable tiredness in her brows, he felt a little distressed.
Yes, Ah Yue is not like herself, she is a rough person. She is out of the house these days, and she sleeps lightly, so she must be exhausted.
So Xiao Yi bid farewell to Guan Yubai in a few words, and took Nangong Yue down to rest.
As for Xiao Hui, it was naturally left to Han Yu.
At this moment, the news of the arrival of Zhennan Wang Shizi and Shizi Concubine had already spread throughout the palace as if they had grown wings, and everyone in the palace acted at the fastest speed to tidy up the Yuexi Palace in the harem.
When the young couple arrived at the Yuexi Palace, the maid in charge of the palace immediately came up with a group of maids. It was an old lady with gray hair, wearing a lake-colored Nanliang dress, with a figure of Slightly dark and chubby, his brows are friendly at first glance, and there is a hint of shrewdness in them, but this shrewdness cannot be put on the table at all when facing Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue.
When there is an absolute disparity in the status of the two sides, those conspiracies, no matter whether they are overt schemes, cannot be carried out at all.
"See Shi Ziye, Shi Zifei."
A group of palace people respectfully knelt down and saluted in Nanliang language, all of them were trembling and did not dare to raise their eyes to look at Xiao Yi.
These are all the palace people in the former Nanliang Palace. They all witnessed the moment when the son of the Prince of Zhennan led troops to break through the palace.
Seeing this killing god right in front of his eyes, who wouldn't be afraid!
Xiao Yi waved his hand casually, and asked Nangong Yue: "Ah Yue, do you want to choose some people to stay and serve?"
Nangong Yue couldn't help but yawned again, she was a little drowsy from sleepiness, she asked a few words casually, and ordered a few people to stay, before she had time to wash up, she leaned against Xiao Yi's body and fell into a deep sleep In the end, it was Xiao Yi who carried her to the couch...
Although sleepy, Nangong Yue didn't sleep well because of the bed. She woke up from time to time, and continued to sleep after waking up... I only vaguely remembered waking up in a daze at dawn, and found Xiao Yi got up.
She was about to get up, but she was coaxed back to sleep by Xiao Yi's sweet words. In a drowsy state, she heard him say in her ear that he was going to visit the military camp, and he would be back before noon. Then, she fell asleep again...
