Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth stripped alive
A Grand Marshal of the Royal Forest Army, a Grand Marshal of March, a Prime Minister of the Left, two second-rank officers, and a first-rank officer. These three important figures led Liu Ling to the small village behind the woods. Liu Ling asked the soldiers to just wait where they were.
, with only three or five bodyguards and Zhaoxian Chen Ziyu, they followed the three important figures to pay homage to the Golden Palace.
After passing the woods and walking for about a mile, I saw a small, dilapidated village. It seemed that the village had suffered either a natural disaster or banditry. It had been burnt and all that was left was a charred black patch. The village was not big.
It seems that even in the most prosperous times, there should be no more than fifty households.
Walking to the entrance of the village, Marshal Liu Sanhei of the Royal Forest Army pointed at a hut in the open space in the village and said: "There! This is the Golden Palace of our Emperor Dashun Dynasty."
Liu Ling and others followed the instructions and looked over. They were dumbfounded. It was such a majestic golden palace. Even the stables in the Han army camp were more impressive than this. A few burnt broken pillars supported a shed.
, it was covered with wild grass, not to mention protecting it from the wind, but also from the rain. Looking from a distance, you could see about ten people sitting cross-legged under the thatched shed, listening to a man sitting in the middle.
Beside the speaker, there was a woman posing.
Liu Ling pointed there and said, "The one who is speaking is your Majesty the Emperor of Dashun Dynasty, right?"
Liu Sanhei straightened his chest and said, "It's Long Live. The person next to Long Live is our Queen. Sitting to the left of Long Live is our Prime Minister Dashun Chao on the right. Next to the Prime Minister on the right is Jin Ziguanglu.
Doctor, next to Doctor Jin Ziguanglu is the Protector of Huben. Standing behind Long Live is the Protector of the Country and the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Guards..."
Chen Ziyu covered his mouth and said with a smile: "So, all the civil and military officials of Dashun Dynasty have gathered here?"
Liu Sanhei said: "The first and fifteenth day of every month is the day when Long Live waits for the emperor to go to court. Today is the first day of the lunar month. Naturally, our officials from the Dashun Dynasty will come to the main hall to listen to Long Live's instructions."
Liu Ling asked: "You are the Marshal of the Royal Forest Army. How many troops do you have under your command?"
Liu Sanhei's face turned red and he said nonchalantly: "Long live the business, now that the business has just begun, it is normal to have fewer manpower. When we win a few battles and seize a few big cities in the future, we will naturally have more troops.
Now...now, I'm the only one."
Liu Ling turned around and asked Zhaoxian: "Today I give you a chance to make a great contribution and destroy a country. How big a contribution is this?"
Zhaoxian smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Zhaoxian smiled and walked forward, shouting as he walked: "Is the Emperor of the Dashun Dynasty in front of you? You have been surrounded..."
Zhaoxian's skill is also outstanding among the generals of the Han army. He really doesn't need help to deal with a dozen rogues. Liu Ling and Chen Ziyu watched the show from a distance, and with just a cup of tea, Zhaoxian defeated them one after another.
He defeated the Protector of the Dashun Dynasty and the commander of the Royal Forest Army, then annihilated the Huben Protector of the Dashun Dynasty, then destroyed Lai and Jiedushi of the Dashun Dynasty, and finally captured alive the Emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, but the Queen Sun Meiniang
, defeated a dozen of Zhaoxian's handsome and mighty men, and she surrendered herself.
Liu Ling didn't bother to pay attention to these boring people, and just regarded them as casual entertainment. If he really wanted to care about his military achievements in destroying a country, he didn't know what title Feng Zhao would get first.
However, the Taoist priest who was pretending to be a ghost actually recognized Liu Ling, which was beyond Liu Ling's expectation. Zhaoxian escorted the emperor and ministers over, and when the emperor saw Liu Ling, he immediately bowed down and kowtowed.
It's really real.
"Cao Donghui, a common man, comes to see the King of Han."
When Queen Sun Meiniang heard that the handsome and elegant young man in front of her was actually the famous Han Dynasty, His Royal Highness, her eyes began to light up, and she blinked and began to send radio waves towards Liu Ling. Chen Ziyu snorted coldly, "No."
With a polite kick, she kicked the fox girl away three meters away. Sun Meiniang was extremely debauched and often hung out with rogues. She was also arrogant. When she got up, she was about to fight back. She was slapped by the guards from all over the Supervisory Yuan behind Chen Ziyu.
He whipped her out, and what flew away at the same time was a bloody front tooth.
"Do you recognize Gu?"
Liu Ling frowned, but he had no impression of such a Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost.
"The common people mingled with the squires in Laihe County yesterday and took a peek at the prince from a distance."
"oh?"
Liu Ling admired this man's memory very much. At that time, all the squires in Laihe County were kneeling far away under the tent. This Taoist priest could remember his appearance with just one glance. He was quite talented. But I thought
I thought, this person makes a living by cheating. If he didn't have the ability to remember people, he probably wouldn't be able to survive. He knelt there and kowtowed, while Sun Meiniang was crawling on the ground not far away, covering her mouth and yelling curses.
Get up. The Taoist priest took a peek and saw Liu Ling frowning and Chen Ziyu's face full of evil. He was startled. He suddenly took out a dagger from his arms, with a cold light flashing. The guard of the Supervisory Yuan had just
He was about to kill him, but he saw this person scurry up and jump to Sun Meiniang's side, and stabbed Sun Meiniang in the heart with one knife!
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person was also a ruthless person.
Seeing the Taoist priest crawling and kneeling again, Liu Ling frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid of death if you kill someone in front of Gu? She is your wife, you can do it!"
The Taoist priest trembled with fright, kowtowed vigorously and said: "The common people are afraid that bitch will dirty the prince's ears. The common people don't want those watery women."
Liu Ling raised the corner of his mouth and had murderous intent in his heart. But Chen Ziyu thought of another question and walked up to the Taoist priest and asked: "You killed your wife to show your ambition, but do you want to repay the favor of the prince?"
The Taoist priest raised his head and glanced at Chen Ziyu gratefully before immediately lowering his head and kowtowing as he said: "Li Fu'er, a common man, has heard of the prince's reputation and wants to join him as a front-line soldier. He will work hard and die without hesitation!"
Chen Ziyu sneered and said: "With your skills, what can you do? Come on, come on, let me cut off his head to pay tribute to his wife!"
Li Fu'er kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic: "The common people are useful to the prince! The common people know how to break through Kaifeng City!"
Chen Ziyu waved his hand to stop the surveillance guard from attacking, and said coldly: "Are you telling the truth?"
"What the common people say is absolutely true, don't dare to lie!"
"good!"
Chen Ziyu nodded and said: "If what you said is true, today I will save your life on behalf of the prince. If you really have a way to break through Kaifeng, I will make an exception and let you serve in the Supervisory Yuan!"
Li Fu'er, who is wandering around the world, naturally knows the reputation of the Supervisory Council of the Han Dynasty. He knows that the Supervisory Council is a powerful department in the Han Dynasty and is not controlled by anyone except Liu Ling. As long as he enters the Supervisory Council, even a small soldier can be regarded as a prosperous person.
After hearing what Chen Ziyu said, he immediately guessed that this person must be a high-ranking official of the Supervisory Yuan, and immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "This little man is loyal to the big man, and will swear allegiance to the prince to the death."
Liu Ling snorted coldly, turned around and left.
After returning to the main camp, Liu Ling went directly back to the main tent. Chen Ziyu knew that Liu Ling was a little angry at her for taking the initiative, and also knew that Liu Ling looked down on a scum like Li Fu'er. How could she look down on someone like Li Fu'er who killed his wife for glory?
She is a villain, but as the head of the Third Division of the Supervisory Yuan, she cannot act according to her temper, but must consider the overall situation. The Third Division is responsible for collecting intelligence. If she can unexpectedly collect a way to break through Kaifeng, it will be very important for the Han army to attack in the future.
This is definitely a good thing for Kaifeng. Chen Ziyu is a very calm woman, especially when she is thinking about Liu Ling, her calmness reaches a terrifying level.
After returning to the main tent, Liu Ling suppressed his unhappiness and ordered three thousand soldiers to go to the forest to cut down the trees. He only selected straight branches and small trees, cut them into lengths of more than three meters, and sharpened them.
The Han army chopped down such simple spears for two days in a row and prepared no fewer than five thousand spears.
Not long after Liu Ling made arrangements, Chen Ziyu walked into his tent calmly. Seeing Liu Ling sitting on a chair looking at the map, she walked behind Liu Ling gently and deftly, and stretched out her hand to Liu Ling.
Massaging her shoulders. Her movements were neither heavy nor light, just right.
"Your Majesty, are you still angry with Ziyu?"
Liu Ling sighed: "Why am I angry with you? It's just that Li Fu'er is so ruthless that he would even kill his own woman to save his life. I'm afraid his words may not be credible."
Chen Ziyu smiled and said: "Believe it or not, you will know after checking. In fact, he does not have any military tactics to break the city. He is just a petty thief who steals the treasury in Kaifeng City. Although the methods of the three offices to extract confessions are not as good as those of the six offices,
But it's enough to deal with such a small character. Li Fu'er said that when he was in Kaifeng, he and a group of thugs spent a month digging a tunnel under a section of Kaifeng's city wall, stealing items from the treasury and selling them off. The shabby thing he mentioned
The secret of the city is this small secret passage. I have sent people to give orders to the spies in Kaifeng to see if this secret passage is still there."
Liu Ling hummed: "What about Li Fu'er?"
Chen Ziyu said: "At this moment, he should kowtow to his wife in hell to apologize, right?"
The people of the Overwatch Council have a separate barracks in the Han army camp. In this barracks, there are various experts from different departments of the Overwatch Council. For example, spies from the Third Division, assassins from the Fourth Division, and guards from the Sixth Division. Of course.
, the secret spies in the Third Division are definitely not only capable of gathering information, but the assassins everywhere are definitely not just killing people with knives. The Fifth Division of the Oversight Council is responsible for the support and logistics of several other departments, and there is another
The five offices are also responsible for the execution, and no one is more familiar with torture instruments and criminal laws than them. They kill people as quickly as they want and as slowly as they want.
At this time, Li Fu'er had already been tied up with his clothes on the door panel, his face was facing upward, and he was struggling violently. Soon, two supervisory guards from the Fifth Division came over to fix his head, and then picked off his chin with a knife.
An old supervisor with gray hair who looked to be in his fifties came over, put a wooden box in his hand on the door panel, turned around and asked the man in charge of protecting Chen Ziyu, Jin Yi, who had just been transferred from Datong:
"Skinned dead or alive?"
His name is Peipi Chen, and his ancestral craft is... peeling off human skin.
Jin Yi glanced at Li Fuler and said: "The stall owner said before that a scum like him would have no shame to see his wife even if he dies, so don't take the human skin with you, just skin it alive. (To be continued)
