Chapter Nine hundred and eighty-six unique mind (below)
At this time, in addition to them, the county magistrate led a group of officials to greet them at the city gate. No one held an umbrella in the rain, and they seemed to be quite dedicated.
"Let's go see him by the way." Ye Qing waved and asked the car to continue moving forward.
At this moment, several horses came running towards the road. When the Han army came to stop them, a young civil servant shouted: "The seven days are over and the imperial edict has been issued. Why is it that the Marquis of Han is in such a hurry?"
The rain was pouring loudly, and the young civil servant called out several times, but no one paid attention to him.
There was another scene at the gate of the city. The county magistrate was secretly surprised by the civil official's words and did not dare to think too much. He quickly kowtowed to the chengyu: "I pay my respects to my lord."
"You are exempt from courtesy in the rain"
This Jun Cheng was a former official who had surrendered to the imperial court and was temporarily retained in his original position. Ye Qing had seen this person in person the last time he went south to conquer. At this time, he turned his attention to an official wearing official uniform and being kneeled on the ground.
"Su Si, why did you collude with Jianxiu to rebel against me?"
Under the gaze, although this man was being knelt down, he still had a yellowish aura around him, and he still had a trace of fear and righteousness, but that was because he was an upright official.
This young man was respected for his outstanding literary talent and extraordinary eloquence. He advocated revitalizing the economy and recruiting people to work in the fields. Although he could not be said to be a "virtuous person in the country", he could be regarded as a local virtuous person.
I saw the official say "Bah": "Thief, I am loyal to the imperial court, and it is only right to attack you. I regret that I can't do my best. How can I be humiliated in front of you? Just kill me."
"Kill" Ye Qing said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Han soldier rose up with a sword, and the sword flashed. Before Susi's generous and righteous expression could change, his head flew out and rolled to the ground, while blood spurted out for several feet from his neck, and a cavity of white air could be seen.
, this loyal and upright spirit appeared, but it was stopped by the dragon spirit condensed on Chengyu. If Ye Qing didn't want to kill anymore, his body and soul would have been destroyed immediately.
Seeing that all the officials were trembling with fear and had to bow their heads when they saw white air, Ye Qing suddenly felt a burst of pride in his heart, and said lightly: "Su Si is loyal and upright, so I just followed his will and killed him."
Ye Qing was sitting in the chariot, even more silent amidst the sound of rain: "I rose to prominence at the age of fifteen. Only five or six years ago, I established the foundation of the Han Dynasty, revived a declining state, and conquered foreign lands. I was ordered by Qingde
, looking back, these things are all vivid in my mind.”
"Su Si is loyal and upright. When he was appointed as an official, he was not greedy for pleasure, food, or sex. Gu admired him very much. However, I thought about it carefully. Gu is not a domineering leader. He is Cai Chen. Can I resign and return to the court? Isn't it better?
As an official, how can I collude with thieves and commit such rebellion?"
Ye Qing sat upright, with his hands gently pressing on his knees. Everyone looked at him, and it seemed that he had already bowed down to rule the world. They only heard him suppress his smile: "It's just a fluke, because I am a coward who can be bullied, so I did this."
This is a dangerous thing."
At this point, Ye Qing's young face was full of murderous intent: "But you don't want to rise up alone in a few years. With such a foundation, how can you be cowardly and bully?"
"Although Gu Zhi acted according to the golden mean and achieved benevolent governance, for the sake of peace, for Gu's great cause, and for the hope of Qingde, Gu never hesitated to kill."
"Is it okay to kill thieves and bandits? Is it okay to kill loyal people?"
"He's a hero and I'm an enemy, that's all."
When Ye Qing said this, he said sternly: "When things happen, please don't say that I was unforeseen by what I said."
After saying this, he released the suppression of the white energy, but strangely enough, after saying this, Su Si's soul, which was filled with anger inside, gradually calmed down, facing the red inside and cyan outside.
The Han family's dragon bowed, turned around and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
But it is to return to the dragon spirit of Cai Chao, waiting for Cai Chao to confer or scold him, and achieve his posthumous reputation.
Seeing that all the officials were trembling, Xun You, the county magistrate, called into the carriage to talk in detail. As a direct descendant of the Han Dynasty, since he was treated differently, he got straight to the point when he came in: "My lord has returned a little early, but this trip is not harmonious?"
"Things are stuck... Time is tight now. You sit down and accompany me in the car for a while. You won't delay government affairs, right?"
Xun You raised his head and said, "I have my wish, but I dare not invite you."
The carriage was very spacious, and Qianqian, Hengyun and Zhou Ling were accompanied by the girls, doing their own things. They all laughed secretly when they heard it - even if something happened, it was a rare opportunity to communicate with the master face to face. How could a lower-ranking official refuse?
When the car started driving again, Ye Qing leaned in Qianqian's arms and read a briefing sheet handed over by Xun You.
"You may have heard some rumors. It seems that the peace talks between the three parties are showing signs of breaking down. In fact, my attitude has not changed - to seek friendly cooperation on the premise that it is in line with my own strategy."
Hearing this, Xun You thought for a while and regretted: "We are very sincere, but we have wasted our efforts."
"Is the shop owner bullying the customers? Prince Qing's instigation is a trivial matter. The key point is that Cai Chao felt that he was at a disadvantage, so he changed his attitude."
Ye Qing turned over a page, paying attention to the local mineral inventory and planning plan, and said to the situation: "It's not that there is nothing to gain, at least we have a good conversation with Xiangnan. That Xianghou Madam is very sensible, and she has agreed to all kinds of business cooperation.
Fortunately, it will not be a problem to expand the market to Xiaozhou with the help of the relationship between Xianghou..."
Hengyun burst into laughter when he heard this, because a foreign minister quickly covered his mouth and said: "Her name is Hongxiao. Although I have never liked her, I didn't expect that you don't even know my husband's name."
Ye Qing smiled and said nothing. He had never asked, but representatives from all three parties signed the draft of the last peace treaty. How could he not know?
I just saw that Hengyun was a little depressed, so I deliberately made her happy.
The carriage became quiet, but the noise outside became agitated. The young civil servant was still shouting. Ji Caizhu went over to exchange a few words with him, then ran back and asked: "This is the envoy of the King of the Qing Dynasty. Is the Lord going to see you?"
Ye Qing pondered, in fact, Qingmai Immortal's premonition already knew that there was no good news.
Xun You looked at his face and admonished him: "My lord, there is no justice in buying and selling. The common enemy in the great tribulation is the outside world. We are finally in the same trench on this level. There is no need to refuse communication... In this way, there is no big deal."
No matter what happens next, it will be justified in heaven."
"That makes sense. Let him come over and see what he heard..."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener sounded intentional. The conversation between the monarch and his ministers was a matter-of-fact discussion. Hengyun's heart was moved when he heard it.
She thought of something else - in terms of fighting foreign lands, her husband has been very stable all the way, rarely even doing anything to kill everyone, he is very faithful to his promises, and he seems a bit pedantic in troubled times.
"For Yu Fan, I let him go on the condition of obtaining the state capital, but I didn't regret pursuing him... and the estrangement between the prince and the princess a few days ago, my husband stopped me from continuing..."
"At that time, I asked my husband to wake me up with a word, clearing the fog in my heart - even if I have revenge, I have always been magnanimous and clear, and my heart can resist even the black veins of the ocean. How could I be trapped in darkness?" Hengyun
As he pondered deeply, he couldn't help but recall those times when he was on earth and across the ocean, and he sighed softly.
Ye Qingruo felt something, smiled and touched her hand: "I even promised you the sea, and you still feel unhappy?"
"No, Ning Juan was miserable like that. When I think about it, I don't hate her to this extent. I just..."
The little dragon girl thought about how to express it, but she was not good at explaining it in the end, so she said in a low voice: "After coming up from the Earth Ocean, even though I returned to the position of Water Master, the gap is still too big. It's like I was stuffed into a small ditch, so strange.
Restrained and irritable, there is always the urge to destroy."
"I used to be able to suppress it, but a few days ago, without realizing it, a little irritability and old resentment in my heart suddenly swelled up, and I started to treat Ning Juan... like that. Husband, you don't think I am... a perverted woman, do you?"
"Are you a female dragon?"
Ye Qing scratched her nose. Thinking about the situation of the peace talks, he might as well reveal to her: "Actually, it's not just you. I asked Jingyu and Qianqian about it, and Prince Qing was even more influential. Even I was almost deceived.
.”
"Nuwa and Sanqing worked together to calculate and determined that it is the grassland...that person's secret calculation, hush...don't say its name."
Hengyun moaned softly and his eyes turned cold: "This is the first time I have encountered this method... Is it very good at manipulating people's hearts?"
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes, recalling certain things on earth, and sneered: "Of course, if it does not obey the ruler of the country, it cannot be a magic weapon... There is more than one victim in this regard... Wherever it is, there will be blood.
"
boom--
Thunder and metal sounds came from not far away, lightning and sword light intertwined, and there was a heavy rain of arrows covering and suppressing it.
"That side is the mountain gate of Mingjian Sect, which is very close to the county. If the Lord hadn't ordered us to be on guard, the raid would have almost succeeded." Xun You explained and said calmly: "Since their elite troops were defeated by General Jiang, I will
The county soldiers and Huolei battalion went to besiege the mountain gate and destroy its foundation...Does the lord want to grant mercy and pardon?"
Just as Ye Qing was about to speak, he suddenly felt something stop him and opened the curtains.
Under the dark curtain of rain, Ye Huolei exploded with spiritual energy. The red fire burned everything. Mushroom clouds rose up. There was a loud cracking sound, and someone was heard singing an ancient sword song.
Due to the storm and the disturbance on the battlefield, the sound was faint and blurry. Jiang Chen distinguished it and said, "It's the master of the Ming Sword Sect who is singing."
Then more people added their voices...
But I don’t know exactly what to sing.
Zhou Ling's eyes were slightly red, and she felt that she had difficulty breathing. She held Ye Qing's hand and whispered: "This is a folk song sung by sword cultivators in the North. Because it has a long history, it has many ancient rhymes and dialects. It is said that it is
It was sung by the earliest sword cultivating sect in the Xiaoxiang area when they were ordered to open up and fight against wild beasts and alien races... It means that we unite as one to resist the foreign invaders, and we have no regrets even if we die nine times."
A cry of escape without any regrets?
Ye Qing held her hand tightly, giving her reassuring support and listened to this strange sword song.
It was quiet in the carriage. The sound of wind and rain outside the window, the shouts of killing, the sound of arrows piercing the air, the sound of thunder and the sound of swords all seemed to fade away. Only this ancient and distant song was left, witnessing the life and death of generations of sword cultivators.
It has been passed down from generation to generation...because I can't understand the lyrics, but I can feel the deep charm in them.
Ye Qing listened with rapt attention. He tapped his fingers on the window lattice, and the beat matched the tune of the sword song. It was a very simple melody, but he seemed to be able to feel some kind of scorching pulse on the earth. It was sharp and enterprising, making the dragon's energy vibrate...
...what a great song
One song ends.
Ye Qing stopped the beat and listened carefully, as if he could still hear the song echoing in his ears, recalling the transcendent charm of life and death in the song, and met Xun You's questioning gaze.
"Kill without mercy"
"good."
Xun You breathed a sigh of relief. He was not bloodthirsty. He knew that some things could not be forgiven, otherwise it would cause greater chaos and bloodshed. So he turned away his attention and started talking about other things.
In such a peaceful atmosphere, the sounds of killing and screams in the distance gradually subsided.
Only the emperor and his ministers were left, each taking a sip of tea.
On one side, Qianqian had a strand of black hair hanging down. He wrapped it around his fingertips, tilted his head and played with it, his eyes watery: "Since ancient times, heroes and heroes have a unique mind, and they always make people fall in love without realizing it."
