Fan Lihua's face softened slightly, and the sword made of murderous aura seemed to disappear against Cheng Dalei. Only then did Cheng Dalei breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the women in front of them looked confused. They were also from nearby towns. Some were given to Mo Mingmi, and some were kidnapped by Mo Mingmi at a very young age. They were considered pampered in Qinchuan Pass, but
It's just to make Mo Mingmi happy with your words and expressions. Now, if you tell them that they can be free, they have to ask: What is freedom?
For the time being, they should stay in the general's mansion. If they had to leave it outside, they would have to be careful of Cheng Dalei's men being obsessed with them and ruining them. Even Cheng Dalei almost couldn't control himself. It was common for such things to happen.
The maids and servants in the mansion also had to find ways to appease them, what if one or two of them who were loyal to Mo Mingmi took the trouble to plot against Cheng Dalei.
There are also Mo Mingmi's cronies in the city, such as his cousins, uncles and uncles. If they were to be killed directly, it would be unjust. If they were kept, they would inevitably lead to the danger of raising tigers.
By this time, Cheng Dalei naturally understood that human life was as cheap as a dog. Unfortunately, he did not belong to this world after all. Although he was learning certain rules of conduct, he could not learn them yet.
Fortunately, Mo Mingmi had no close confidants. His wife had committed suicide by hanging from a beam, and there were no heirs of his in Qinchuan Pass. It was said that Mo Mingmi had a son who was making a living elsewhere, but Cheng Dalei didn't know where he was.
This saves Cheng Dalei a lot of trouble. If he has a three-year-old son, whether to kill or not is a question.
Qinchuan Pass has just been captured and everything is in ruins. It is easier to deal with the prisoners in the city. Lock up their officers, comfort them, reward or punish them, and then control the ordinary soldiers through these officers.
Cheng Dalei was extremely busy.
"Cheng Dalei, should you send a message to other nearby forces to tell them that we are coming?"
In the entire village, the only person who addressed Cheng Dalei by his first name was either Li Xingzai or Li Waner.
It was Li Waner who said this. If she hadn't reminded him, Cheng Dalei would never have remembered it.
Yes, when I first arrived, I had to take care of my daily life, my military affairs, and my diplomatic work.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you to write to them and tell them that we are here. From now on, hello to us and hello to everyone." There are several cities and checkpoints near Qinchuan Pass, which were all related to Mo Mingmi in the past.
, now Cheng Dalei naturally wants to take over.
Li Waner really has to do these things. The people in Toad Village who are good at writing are her and Li Xingzai.
"How about inviting them over to be our guests? We are new here, so we can be our hosts." Li Waner.
"I don't have time, but you can write it down, but I guess they won't come."
Cheng Dalei has more important things to do, which is to build a fourth-level mountain stronghold. Qinchuan Pass has high walls and iron ore... these are exactly what is necessary to build a fourth-level mountain stronghold. If a fourth-level copy is built on the basis of Toad Island,
We don’t know how long it will take. But for now, we just need to repair the damaged buildings and make some modifications.
The fourth-level version has many more buildings than the third-level version, such as markets, barracks, and can also open new system stores. This is exactly what Cheng Dalei needs now.
"Master, I found something. Come and take a look." Xu Shenji came to Cheng Dalei.
"What is it?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"You'll understand when you see it," Xu Shenji said.
Cheng Dalei followed Xu Shenji to the mine at Qinchuan Pass. As soon as he entered, he was frightened. He saw groups of people gathered together. They had almost no blood on their bodies and were skinny. They looked very much like what Cheng Dalei had seen on TV.
refugees.
"What do these people do?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"I have already asked clearly. They were all arrested by Mo Mingmi for mining. Some were arrested for three months, some were arrested for a year, and the longest period was no more than three years."
"What about those who are more than three years old?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"All dead."
"Well……"
"Master, how should we deal with these people?"
"First look for a place, and if there are any who are willing to go home, we will send them home."
"Master, there are still some things."
"What else?" Cheng Dalei was startled: "Can you finish the sentence at once? Is there anything more terrifying?"
"No, no, it's not scary at all this time." Xu Shenji led Cheng Dalei to the mine's warehouse.
Cheng Dalei was stunned when he entered. It was densely packed with armor, weapons, and arrows. The equipment was all very well-made and was completely of the same standard.
"Have you counted the number?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"Not yet, but it looks like there are at least 30,000 to 50,000 pieces of equipment. This is enough to equip an army."
"That's right. Why did Mo Mingmi prepare so much equipment? I never saw him using it." Cheng Dalei secretly thought that after killing Yan Di, no one would know the inside story.
"Go back and ask someone to see if any of the prisoners know anything."
…
After the letter written by Li Wan'er was handed over, as Cheng Dalei expected, no one came to trouble Cheng Dalei. Everyone agreed that Cheng Dalei would replace Mo Mingmi. But at the same time, no one came to Cheng Dalei's place for the banquet. It was probably because he was physically inconvenient to reply to the letter.
, I excused myself with excuses like being busy with important matters.
But at the same time, the news about Cheng Dalei's occupation of Qinchuan Pass had spread, and even spread to Chang'an in a short period of time. In other words, people had their eyes on this place from the beginning.
"Where is Wan'er still?" Emperor Ming closed the scroll in his hand.
"Not only Your Highness the Princess, we also saw the Sixth Prince." One person was hidden in the darkness, and his appearance could not be clearly seen.
"Lao Liu..." Emperor Ming paused: "He's still alive."
"They were very guarded and we couldn't get close. We just took a look from a distance and saw that it was His Highness the Prince."
"There are still places in the world that the Fish and Dragon Guards cannot enter." Emperor Ming shook his head: "Are they okay?"
"The remote mountains and remote areas cannot be compared with Chang'an. Both Your Highnesses have been wronged, but they seem to be in good spirits."
"Lao Liu just likes to mess around, and Wan'er is getting more and more unruly. These two children don't give me any peace of mind." Emperor Ming sighed and said, "The bandits took over Qinchuan Pass?"
"Mo Mingmi is dead, and Qinchuan Pass has now fallen into his hands."
"It took half a year to achieve this step, and the movement was really slow." Emperor Ming suddenly smiled: "You must be very unhappy over there, right?"
Prime Minister's Mansion.
An old man with a few strands of goatee had a sinking face, and a depressing atmosphere filled the hall.
"Sir, who should you send to resolve this matter?"
"Let Bokang go. Use this person if you can, and kill him if he can't. Never let Qinchuan fall into the hands of outsiders."
After saying that, the old man sighed and raised his hands to the sky.
