Chapter 791: Warning Monkeys [Please subscribe and vote monthly]
The Qin army finally entered the city. Linzi, which was originally bustling with businessmen and merchants, seemed so desolate and cold at this moment.
Every household in the streets of Linzi has locked its doors and windows, and no shop is open for business.
Linzi seemed to have turned into an empty city overnight, without any trace of human life.
When the Qin army entered the city and walked through the wide streets, they could feel that someone was watching them.
As veterans and elites who have survived hundreds of battles, no one dares to really relax even if they already know the outcome. They carefully observe the surroundings to prevent sneak attacks from hidden arrows.
"Whoosh~" Suddenly a harsh sound broke through the air.
The Qin army team, which was marching in an organized manner, immediately looked for a bunker. At the same time, the crossbows in their hands fired several arrows in the direction of the sound.
"Be careful, enemy attack!" It wasn't until his body reacted instinctively to avoid and counterattack that the team leader's voice finally settled down.
As for the place where the arrows sounded, they had already been destroyed by arrows and spears.
However, the team leader did not dare to be careless, and led the small team to cautiously walk towards the house where the sound of arrows was heard.
That is also telling everyone, shielding, and hiding the consequences of disobedience.
"Although King Qi Jian killed many of the nobles of Qi State, no one handed over the knife, so how can you express your wishes?" Long Jun said with a smile.
"So for the local nobles of Qi State, the Zhang family is just like the Qin people. They are newcomers."
"Who?" Guo Kai asked again.
"Why go to the Zhang family directly?" Meng Tian was even more confused.
"What happens now?" Meng Tian still didn't understand.
"Who is Ji Cong?" Zhang Liang frowned. I doubt that the Qin State has found us, and we are not even ready to blame the Qi people.
"Report immediately!" The team leader did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"What harm did the Zhang family do to them? Why did they risk their lives?" Long Jun said calmly in front of everyone in Linzi before leading Meng Tian to destroy a Linzi noble family.
Meng Tian led the fire cavalry and followed Long Jun to make small arrests in the city, but they turned a blind eye to the Zhang family and his entourage who did not yet know where they were hiding.
Before reporting it, Guo Kai also received the news, and his eyes became slightly serious. It was a special attack, but it was done deliberately by unintentional people.
"Cooperate with the villain Long Jun and kill some people!" Guo Kai said calmly.
However, once there is some change in the Qin State in the future, with the promotion of unintentional people, the idea of restoration will be revived among the Qi people, and rebellion will follow.
"But before, we wanted to provoke a confrontation between Qi people and Jin Yao, but the Qin army saw through it, so they followed the trend and took the opportunity to kill some Qi nobles. Tell us again, that's not why we took in those of the Zhang family who had no intention of being evil.
The price for those who come here." Long Jun continued.
"I see!" Meng Tian finally understood. This might be called killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
"The Zhang family!" Long Jun said with a smile, and then explained to Meng Tian, "The Zhang family was originally a noble family in South Korea, but because of Han Mi, they had to cut off their tail to escape and fled to Qi State."
"Pass the knife?" Meng Tian was even more confused.
Meng Tianna finally understood that the purpose was to make the Qi people hostile to the nobles who fled to Qi, and to turn the original antagonism between the Qin people into the antagonism between the Qi people and the nobles from inside.
"General Meng Tian, let's go!" Long Jun stood up and took Meng Tian out of the small camp.
"Zhang Zifang!" Guo Kai narrowed his eyes, what a bad trick.
On the contrary, it was the place where we hid later, and all the nobles involved had their houses broken down and destroyed by Jin Yao.
"No!" Cook Ding nodded. As a local snake in Linzi, I naturally didn't have any information of my own, so I knew that no one from the village suddenly retreated into Linzi.
Meng Tian was stunned and looked at Ji Cong, who was sitting beside him eating melon. He knew who the murderer was.
"The general is here!" Meng Tian immediately stood up and waited for the military order to arrive.
"Cook Ding, no suspicious person has retreated into Linzi recently!" Guo Kaiyou asked Jin Yao to investigate, but he said he would do it himself.
"Korean Zhang family!" Cook Ding directly told the information he knew.
An incident of stabbing someone in the back provoked a confrontation between Jin Yao and the Qi people. Even if Jin Yao is now weak and can suppress the Qi people, it will also establish the idea that Jin Yao is hostile to the Qi people. There will be discussions in the future.
Whoever manages the small land of Qilu will fall into endless confrontation with the Qi people.
"The Zhang family is just plagued by scabies. What the Qin army wants is to turn us into rats crossing the street. It also uses the Zhang family to beat the nobles and let us know the consequences of participating in rebellion."
The people and nobles of Linzi also knew that it was because the noble cooperated with the Zhang family to assassinate Jin Yao.
When Long Jun heard Guo Kai calling him, he was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and met Guo Kai's eyes.
Even Guo Kai dared to investigate strictly, because if the other party dared to do that, there would definitely be no senior men left, waiting for Jin Yao to investigate thoroughly, and then blame it on the nobles and people of Qi.
Qin's destruction of Qi made the people of Qi happy, but because of Jin Yao's small power and the actions of King Qi, the people of Qi had to accept the result.
Then, the originally peaceful takeover of the Qi State would be broken, and Jin Yao would become overly cautious, and anyone in Qi who saw him would be worried that he was an assassin.
"It's better to kill by mistake than to let go!"
It seems to be just a big sneak attack, but it is likely to break the tacit understanding between Qin and Qi, the subtle relationship where both sides acquiesce in unification.
But Jin Yao, Shadow Guard, and Luo Wang seemed to have found us special. They passed by our door several times without breaking in.
Finding the Zhang family is slower and more complicated.
However, when they entered the house, they found that apart from some windows and furniture destroyed by arrows and spears, there were only some blood stains left on the place, and no one was seen.
In this way, under such low pressure, no one in the entire Qi State would dare to risk their wealth and life to hide disobedience, let alone have the intention of rebellious restoration.
To be able to evacuate in an orderly manner in such a short period of time is obviously not an ordinary person, not even a member of the military.
This led to hostility between the entire Jinyao and Qi people.
"Oh, how about more blood?" Ji Cong sighed, knowing who Ji Cong wanted to kill.
"Even the Qin army will deliberately tell all the Qi people to take in and cover up the rebellion. What will be the consequences!" Long Jun said meaningfully.
"Meng Tian!" Guo Kai shouted in a deep voice.
Meng Tian still understood, looked at Long Jun in confusion and asked, "Your Excellency, who does the Qin army want to kill?"
However, what Ji Cong wants is not to kill all those who are secretly plotting against us, or even deliberately kill us, but to kill all the noble families who dare not protect or hide us.
If you kill a Zhang family, you will also kill the Liu family, Li family, etc., you will kill them all.
