Chapter 127 Burning the Village
The chief clerk approached and found that the bloody and flesh on the ground was the priestess. His face suddenly turned pale, with some anger and fear. After a while, his expression turned quiet and he looked at Pei Ziyun: "The Golden Pearl Priest led thousands of people to attack the village, but it ended up falling into this field. Should I call you the high priest or the young master?"
The chief clerk's tone was plain, gritting his teeth and smiling, with a hint of chill and a little disbelief.
Several fake villages did not hide the movements, and immediately sent people to interfere. As a result, thousands of warriors were defeated overnight, and even the priests died.
This has to raise Pei Ziyun several levels of danger.
"Master Secretary, you have been worried too much. Now in a peaceful and prosperous era, I am Jieyuan, Yingzhou, Daxu. How could I become the High Priest of Nanli? Could it be that Lord expected me to stay in Nanli?"
Pei Ziyun said lightly, his eyes shining with fire, thinking about something. From what he said just now, he could understand that this position of the lord is not just a copycat or a government official, but a mixed body.
"Yes, even if he is a copycat, the government gives fame and power and loses this, how much value does he have?"
After hearing Pei Ziyun's words, the chief clerk's expression calmed down and raised his hand to signal behind him: "Put down the knife, I want to talk to Mr. Jie Yuan."
"Yes, sir." The soldiers of the chief clerk inserted the drawn knife back into the scabbard, saluted, retreated more than ten steps, and were alerted in the distance.
"Master Secretary, what else do you have to say to me?" Pei Ziyun
The Lord Bo's face was gloomy and looked at the surging river water several meters below. At this time, the sky gradually became brighter, and the sky was covered with red glows. He first said silently, and then said, "Your idea is right."
"Actually, we all know that these villages have deep hatred with the high priests, so we know that we come to kill Duke Jieyuan."
"Although you defeated a thousand people in one battle, in the land of Nanli, no matter the government, chieftain, or clerk, you don't want a high priest heir to appear, and bloody storm will arise."
"What do you mean is to avenge the village?" Pei Ziyun raised his eyebrows as if he was smiling.
"Of course not. Most of the villages are actually unstable. Now the most hated villages are defeated, and no one will fight again."
"It's just Duke Jie Yuan, you are a scholar. What kind of decision will the court decide if such a big thing happens? Now that Da Xu is now in the early stages, what can you do if Duke Jie Yuan obtains the high priest witchcraft and can drive the snake?" The chief clerk did not threaten, and counted the matter carefully and explained it clearly.
"So I said, your thoughts were right."
"Oh, the priestess brought the cottage to win. Since then, no one will say more."
"I won, I want to persuade me to surrender. It's really a plan." Pei Ziyun analyzed the thoughts of the chief clerk and the people behind him.
"Mr. Jie Yuangong is quick-witted. Yes, most of the courts don't care about the disputes between the villages in the mountains. It's a trivial matter for anyone to beat anyone. But the court will not be able to do anything, nor will it allow new forces to rise. The same is true for the chieftain behind me." The chief clerk was not ashamed and said frankly.
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "I'm here this time, there is an order from above. If Xie Yuan Gong wins, there is still plenty of energy. The superiors can give Xie Yuan Gong three days to solve some things and leave Nanli quickly, otherwise the government will..."
"You are worried that I will drive the Manshe Gu to mess with Nanli. It is easy to ask me to solve the matter on the mountain. I have a few small requests." Pei Ziyun smiled and pondered, and after a long time he let out a breath.
"Please tell me if you are a man." The chief clerk was quite polite.
"There are only one hundred people on the mountain, and I will take them away. I hope to guide the road at that time. This is one of them," said Pei Ziyun.
Hearing this, Lord Bo smiled: "You can do it in small matters."
"Secondly, I hope to rent a large ship to Jiangnan." Pei Ziyun said: "It can accommodate hundreds of people."
"It's also simple, I can replace the promise." The chief clerk thought for a while and agreed.
"There is also Snake Mountain. After we leave, we will close the mountain. I don't want anyone to disturb the person who has already fallen into the ground. This is the third one."
"These are all questions that are appropriate. What are the requirements for Duke Jie Yuan?" The chief clerk's eyes were Huo Yiliang.
"It's good for everyone to leave, so I hope no one will do anything anymore." Pei Ziyun smiled.
"Haha, of course not, don't worry, Mr. Jie Yuan." The chief clerk laughed and replied. After this battle, who would be like this unless he thought that something big happened again?
Pei Ziyun nodded, turned around and left, looking at the figure that was leaving, the face of the Lord Bo was gloomy, and someone came over: "Zhu Bo, why not kill him?"
"Can you kill?" Lord Bo pointed to the corpse that was everywhere on the ground.
"You can lure it into the city." The man refused to give up.
"But what if it fails? This person is not a person who is dying with his hands. He is really rebellious and has not been captured and killed. Even if the court suppresses him, he will be deteriorating. Who will be responsible for this?" The Lord Bo Heng glanced at him: "It is the best way to leave obediently, and it is good for everyone - put away your little thoughts for me."
"Yes, yes!" The man couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
Pei Ziyun returned to the mountain village all the way, and the villagers did not come out of the mountain village. The poisonous snakes were rampant outside the city wall, and most of them had come back automatically.
"Hissing" Pei Ziyun whistled, and the poisonous snakes on the ground seemed to be very happy. A big snake surrounded Pei Ziyun before leaving, and the group of snakes rushed towards the back mountain.
Seeing the snakes leaving, Pei Ziyun left the village.
"The high priest is back, the high priest is back." The villagers of the city noticed the abnormal movement of the poisonous snake from afar. They saw Pei Ziyun when they looked and cheered.
"Open the door for the high priest!" He Qingqing shouted with surprise and ran downwards. The old woman also welcomed Pei Ziyun with joy.
"High Priest, we have been waiting for you for more than twenty years, and you are finally back." The old woman lowered her head, knelt on the ground, crying.
"You call me Young Master, I just inherited my uncle's strength, not him." Pei Ziyun sighed.
"Young Master, the Lord really won't come back?" The old woman shook her body, with a hint of wail.
"I won't be back." Pei Ziyun said.
"Woo woo." The old woman burst into tears and fell softly to the ground, choking and unable to speak, while the girl was not so sad. The Lord's memory was only in the remarks of her parents. At this time, she went forward to salute: "Young Master, how are the Golden Pearl Priest?"
"I have already killed it." Pei Ziyun said coldly.
"Young master is wise. Will we raise an army tomorrow? I will accept the last words of the Lord and summon the people who surrendered to our village and revived again. The Young master has the power of the Lord. Now we can sweep the Nanli village and unify Nanli."
"Don't test me, I said, the current Xu Chuli is not the Nanli Kingdom back then. If there is a trouble, even if it can cause trouble, how far can it go? You go with me to Yingzhou. I will arrange a new residence for you so that you don't have to live a life of fighting and killing." Pei Ziyun sighed.
He listened to Pei Ziyun's words, He Qingqing smiled and said, "Young Master, I broke the siege yesterday. I thought the Young Master would cause a big deal. The Young Master took us to live a peaceful life, and we were very happy."
The girl was not very concerned about the cause of trouble, and the leader of the village was more concerned about the villagers.
Some old people were a little disappointed when they heard this, and then they thought that it was also good to have a peaceful life in the plains.
"Young Master, it's a trivial matter for us to go to another place, I'm afraid the government will not allow it." He Qingqing hesitated and worried about the court's interception.
"Don't worry, we defeated the coalition forces of several villages, and we were hoping we would leave at this time." Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, I'll arrange things now." He Qingqing said, as she was energetic, restrained the bodies of the battle and packed her luggage. The people in the village were hesitant and a little horrified.
After everything was packed, Pei Ziyun threw the torch away. The village started to burn after pouring oil. A thick smoke rushed to the sky, and could be seen within a radius of dozens of miles.
At this time, He Qingqing was a little uneasy and hopeful when he looked at the burning village. Some older villagers looked at the burning village with a little sadness.
"Let's go." Pei Ziyun ordered.
"Yes, young master." The girl and the old woman answered.
Afar, at this moment, the sun was about to come out, and the mountains and villages were scattered in the distance. The Lord Bo Zheng was waiting respectfully. In front of him was an old man, very powerful. He glanced at the thick smoke, looked at the dense soldiers around him, and smiled and said, "Pei Jieyuan is really decisive. How could I do this at this age?"
As he said that, he sighed: "You have been tired all night, go back and rest. I have to go and rest. As for Pei Jieyuan's departure, it is good for everyone, so you can give some convenience."
"Yes!" The Lord Bo hurriedly bowed: "But the lower officials can't rest. Although they burned the village and had decided to leave, they did not leave. I still have to make some arrangements."
"Go, go!" The official stood up and owed him a little.
The second day·A pier
When a hundred people arrived at the pier, the people on the pier were surprised. There were shadows around the chief clerk, dozens of yamen runners were distributed, with water burning on the east side and the heat came out.
A headmaster saw Pei Ziyun, hurried out to salute humbly, and greeted him in.
"Duke Jie Yuan, how do you think of this ship?" Lord Bo pointed.
Pei Ziyun looked at the river, and there was a large ship parked in the middle. There was a semicircular arcade in front of the deck, which was three floors high, and he couldn't help but look happy: "Yes, it seems that it's not a problem to be full."
He asked again: "You can prepare anything else?"
"It's ready. Look, water is boiling on the east side. Thirty large buckets have been prepared and bathed in three batches." The master Bo was a little puzzled: "But what does Xie Yuan Gong mean?"
"The mountain village is dirty, or there are many, so there is no problem in the mountains. If you are on the boat, you may not be able to adapt to the local conditions and cause a plague."
"So take a shower, change into new clothes, be prepared for any trouble."
"But now it's hot, young people can go to the riverside to take a bath. Women, children, and the elderly are weak, so I'll notify you in advance to prepare."
"As for these fruits, I have their own uses."
This is to prevent scurvy, but the master did not care about it. He just praised: "Take a bath to remove the plague, and it is better to be prepared for any trouble."
As he said that, he carefully identified and asked, "Are they all here?"
"Everyone is here, one hundred and four people." Pei Ziyun said with emotion: "Now, are you relieved?"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" The Lord Bo was still not ashamed: "I can explain it now."
