3168 Days of Murder
In the early morning, the star of Qi in the sky has not yet disappeared. The bright moonlight is in the dark clouds. In front of the Ninth Banner of the Imperial Wilderness Legion, the bonfire of pine wood crackled in the night wind. A tap sound from afar attracted the eyes of the guards at the camp gate. In the darkness, more than a dozen mercenary cavalry were surrounded by a black carriage and stopped at the gate of the camp gate.
"No matter who you are looking for, you must not stay here."
A captain of guards in armor walked forward and glanced at the black carriage. His voice was cold and he said without hesitation.
The Ninth Banner is now responsible for the public security of more than a dozen cities in the West Dijing Road. The entire banner regiment has dispersed its forces, and the troops left in the camp are only five or six hundred. The main force of the army has already headed to the river. As the Ninth Banner regiment that stays behind the base camp, the alert has also been increased by two levels. As long as one level is increased, it is wartime. During the war, the Emperor ** side will automatically control the military and political power at the same time. Everything is for combat. This means that the commander of the Ninth Banner has the right to deal with any possible threats. This is acquiesced to the Emperor ** side. The vast territory cannot allow the front-line commanders to ask for instructions from the higher authorities. Too much restrictions are equivalent to waiting for death.
It is said that the Emperor* murdered without blinking. It is said that in the wilderness of the Emperor Jing, more than 100,000 grassland cavalry of the Yelu family were surrendered in one battle. After entering the northwest, he migrated 600,000 grassland tribes, which were famous. In the initial cleaning of the entire bandits on the West Dijing Road, the cruel methods displayed by the Emperor* once made the Zhongbi people dare not look up and look directly. Even though the West Dijing Road has now been stable, most of the Central Bi Asians recognized the rule of the Empire. The Emperor* team still did not station in the city, just to avoid causing mass panic. The four major families on the West Dijing Road wanted to meet with the head of the Ninth Banner several times, but were ruthlessly rejected.
These businessmen did not know that in the Emperor's**, the involvement of soldiers and commercial alliances was equivalent to self-destructing their future. In the eyes of the Emperor's military personnel, the Imperial Business Alliance existed like a life-threatening person. Therefore, the imperial officials who were punished and detained were given every year, and have become the default high-voltage line within the Emperor's***.
"Is Atelak in the camp?"
The guard captain originally thought that the other party would leave immediately, but he saw the groom driving in the black carriage stand up and jump off the carriage. The coachman's stout figure gave people a pressure that hits his face. The guards said a moment ago. What the other party said turned out to be imperial language. Under the firelight of the campfire, the coachman showed a serious and somewhat broad face. The wide forehead of the grassland people looked a little shiny, which was the oily skin color dripping from the sun and rain all year round. This familiar face made the guards come.
I swallowed it again after I heard the words. I was so familiar with it. Who is this? The guards must have met the other party. The Ninth Banner was originally from the Kujit Grassland tribe, and the other party showed that he was obviously very familiar with the Ninth Banner, so he said the name of the Ninth Banner commander. Don’t look at the Ninth Banner that the Ninth Banner has been on Dijing West Road for three months. However, because of the lack of communication and few contacts with the Central Asians, I knew that the Ninth Banner commander was Atelak, and there were not many people except for the senior leaders of the Wilderness Legion!
"What's wrong, Siyalahuer, I forgot who took you out of the death camp!" The coachman looked sharp and glanced at the corner of his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth
"Master Mulihe!" Shocked by the other party's momentum, the guard captain's face changed and he quickly stood attentively. He couldn't figure out why the deputy commander of the Wilderness Legion dressed up as a coachman, and quickly said, "Master Atelak is still patrolling the defense in Meili City, fifty miles away from here, and he should not return until tomorrow morning."
"I'll be back tomorrow morning"
Mulihe said to himself with some regret, turned around and returned to the carriage, whispering respectfully to the people inside, which made the guards confused. What an identity is Mulihe? Although he is only the deputy commander of the army, he is definitely a top figure in Central Belle where a cough can make the ground tremble three times. In Central Belle, Li Yuehua, who took over as Lord Berrant Bonnie, can be regarded as his boss, and is definitely the top five in power. Such a person is actually willing to be a coachman, and the guards also saw Lord Mulihe with respect and excitement.
"Since Atelak is not here, I will take over the command of the Ninth Banner for the time being." After a while, Mulihe turned around and walked back, and said with a serious expression. "Immediately call up all officers at the captain level and above in the camp to convene a meeting, give them ten minutes. If they did not arrive after ten minutes, they will be dealt with according to the delayed opportunity."
"Sir, this..." The guard captain looked embarrassed. Although Mulihe was the deputy commander of the corps, he was not the commander of the Ninth Banner after all, and he temporarily took over command. Moreover, without the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, this was a serious act of overstepping the authority.
"What, am I not qualified yet?" Mulihe's face darkened, and a murderous aura surged out. The predecessor of the Ninth Banner was the Ninth Squadron of the Eighth Cavalry Flag Regiment he had led. It was his former direct line, so he could even call out the name of the guard captain. He originally wanted His Majesty the Emperor to see his abilities, but he unexpectedly encountered a nail.
"Mr. Mulihe, this is not what I mean. You also know that taking over the command of the combat troops requires the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Lord came so late at night, and Lord Atelak was not in the camp, and suddenly asked to take over the army. Even if I summoned the other captains, they would not obey." The captain of the guards looked embarrassed and explained loudly.
"Ciarahuer, you bastard, believe it or not, I will order someone to pull you down and chop you down now!" Mulihe's eyes widened and held the handle of the knife at his waist.
"Sir Mulihe, please calm down. You can't do anything about this. Lord Atelak will come back tomorrow morning. Now it's not far from dawn. Why don't you take a break first? As soon as Lord Atelak comes back, the young will bring him to see you immediately." The guard captain's face turned pale, and he still dared not agree to Mulihe's orders.
"Okay Mulihe, don't be embarrassed by him. Give him this order. From now on, you will be in charge here. No matter who I am pleading with, I must block it before the new order is sent." A heavy voice came from the direction of the carriage. An imperial guard handed a letter of order to Mulihe. Mulihe carefully took the letter of order carefully.
"Don't you want the order book? Now it's OK!" After the carriage left, Mulihe was angry and handed over the order book to the camp without reconciliation. Xiyalahuer
"Your Majesty misunderstood. You must know that there is a command book. Even if you have ten heads, you dare not disobey the order!" Siyalahuer took the command book with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. In his opinion, this command book should have been signed by Li Yuehua, the head of the Imperial Wilderness Legion, because if it was signed from the Emperor's Ministry of State, it would be impossible to have such a long distance. His eyes swept over the contents above and finally fell on the signature on it. The smile on his face froze, his face turned pale. The hand holding the command book was like holding a red soldering iron, and he was trembling. Emperor, the emperor's falcon emblem... My immortality, Siyalahuer is about to faint. No wonder Lord Mulihe is willing to drive it personally. It turned out to be His Majesty the Emperor!
"Since you have seen this order book, you should know the consequences of delaying the order and go to convene the officers for a meeting!" Mulihe groaned with an ugly look on his face. Soon, more than 20 captains left in the camp gathered in the camp hall. No one knew what the situation was. The captain of the guard who summoned them was even more afraid to tell them the truth. He just said that an emergency order came from above, which made the camp messy. The army had already pressed into the river. It is said that 200,000 Aden troops could advance north at any time and drag the West Road of Dijing into the war. This emergency situation would not be the Aden people who called it!
"What's the situation!"
"Did the Adenites break through the river and ask us to prepare for the battle?"
"No, I haven't heard of such news,"
"Has Lord Atelak been back? Hell, why did Lord Atelak go to Merri City to patrol?"
At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open by the guards, and a figure walked in. The officers looked over curiously and saw that it was the deputy commander of the army, Lord Mulihe, and they all looked completely confused.
"It's amazing. I actually saw Lord Mulihe. Didn't you wake up?"
"When did Lord Mulihe come?"
"How did I know, Lord Mulihe is not here to conduct a surprise inspection, it's still a big night to make people unable to survive." The officers were talking, with all kinds of speculations. A flag regiment with thousands of people was responsible for the defense of more than a dozen cities on the West Road of Dijing. The nerves of these officers were tense to the limit. Any disturbance may be the enemy's army's swaying army.
Mulihe came to the front of the officers, glanced at the stunned officers, took out the order book from his arms, and said coldly, "Time is urgent, I won't talk nonsense, convey Your Majesty's top secret order. Starting tomorrow at 10:00 tomorrow morning, the Ninth Banner immediately imposed military martial law on the front lines of Lilang, Taiyuan and Baishan."
"What, starting from 10 am tomorrow, martial law will be imposed on the entire West Road front line...
Just kidding, the Ninth Banner is just a few people, there are three or four cities on that line, how can it be done? "After reading the order, the officers below are almost infuriated. Comprehensive martial law is not a joke. There are more than a dozen cities on the West Dijing Road, each city has only six or seven hundred imperial garrisons. Maintaining public order is quite nervous. Martial law is a joke." This is Your Majesty's military order, you should know the weight. For the reasons of the Ninth Banner itself, Your Majesty has agreed to temporarily give up the defense of other cities. The Ninth Banner's entire line is close to the martial law line. "Mulihe's eyes swept across the faces of the officers like a knife, and said sternly
As a senior executive of the Wilderness Legion, he knew very well why the emperor required martial law to this line, but this reason could not be revealed now. Eighty thousand imperial cavalry would advance south from Yanzhou along this line, and unconsciously poured into the line of Dijing West Road. With the arrival of 80,000 imperial cavalry, the defense of Dijing West Road was a good thing. Although Mulihe did not know the reason why the emperor secretly mobilized 80,000 cavalry to enter Dijing West Road, he could also faintly feel the breath of bloody storm on his face. Who made His Majesty the Emperor angry!" Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! A rapid sound of the piano was beating, and a leap of killing came.
She was a pretty girl with her shoulders slightly drooping, and ten slender fingers pressed against the Qin. Her waist and back were sitting very straight, but she just moved the strings by the movement of her elbows. Her shoulders remained motionless. The long blue robe sleeves rolled up inward, revealing a piece of white white wrist wearing a jade bracelet. Ten daffodil-like snow-white and slender jade fingers rose and fell on the seven silk strings.
In front of the girl, Lu Yangyu stood with his hands behind his back and stared out the window.
At dawn, under the floating sky with half dust, a large string of raindrops like broken beads smashed on the dry roads of the street, and a layer of white rain color spread. Lu Yangyu sighed slightly. The An family banquet had agreed to attend yesterday. In order to completely force the Lu family to a dead end, he did not give the Lu family any chance to repeat. I believe that the news of the Lu family attending the An family banquet had spread throughout the city overnight.
Lu Yangyu seemed to have foreseeed that at the An family banquet, the people they knew greeted each other, but not many people drank. Under this lively appearance, people from all sides were looking at each other and guessing each other. The surging undercurrents and a slightly tense atmosphere. The merchants on West Dijing Road and the entire Liuchenggang family had already widened their eyes, and they wanted to see how the Lu family stepped into a trap in one step, and they would never be reborn. The world changed color, murderous intent spread, and everyone knew that the An family had bad intentions. The banquet was dangerous, and the father was still careful. "The melodious sound of the piano suddenly paused, the strings broke, the girl's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her fingers dripped blood red. This young man
The girl is Lu Yangyu's only daughter Lu Wan'er. When the Yelu family captured Linhang, Lu Wan'er was still in Liuchenggang, so she was spared from the disaster. Lu Yangyu was robbed by the Yelu family and went north. Life and death were unknown. Lu Wan'er was taken to Lu Yangyu's elder brother. Later, Liuchenggang migrated northward, and Lu Wan'er returned to Lu Yangyu again. Therefore, he only knew part of his father's background. "I don't have much of this Anjia Banquet. What really made me worried is you. Once my Lu family breaks up with the four major families, the other party will definitely target my Lu family with all his strength. "Lu Yangyu turned around from the front, wearing a Chinese-style robe, showing a vicissitudes of life and history.
"Don't worry about this, my father. I will go to the teacher's place after dawn. She is a close friend of Lord Li Yuehua. I believe that even if the four major families are so brave, they will not dare to break into Lord Li Yuehua's mansion directly." Lu Wan'er bandaged her bloody fingers and picked up the piano and stood up slowly.
