In the last war, Duke Zhiwei had already drained most of the troops from the Southeast Province, so even the capital of the province, Donghai City, only had a few thousand second-line troops.
It is nearly six hundred miles from Tianshui City to Donghai City. Sauron and Ashili led 15,000 cavalry, as if they were in an uninhabited land.
However, as soon as the army left Tianshui City and entered Baiyun County, countless harriers flew out, and countless spies rode fast horses to all directions.
At this time, Sauron's every move attracted the attention of the world.
Especially after he became the acting governor of the Southeast Province, everyone watched with wide eyes how he would capture the Southeast Province.
From the perspective of the world's princes, nobles, civil servant groups, and civilian elites, Sauron's next actions will reveal his ambition and political attitude. Only the power groups that are watching in secret will decide whether to be loyal to or support him.
At this time, the whole world is faced with the opportunity to stand again. Should we continue to stand on the side of Li Li, or on the side of Sauron and Yan Yan?
Three days ago, Solan and Fu Lingxi had a falling out and expelled her.
Fu Lingxi returned to the room crying, and then did not leave, but stayed still.
Then she wrote a letter in front of Sauron, asking her father, the Marquis of Voe, to come to Tianshui City for discussion in person, and sent the letter to Fire Worship City with a flying harrier.
The Fire Worshiping City is too far away, and the flying harrier cannot carry messages that far, so it has to be transited once in the capital.
After the letter was spread, Sauron once again proposed that Fu Lingxi was in a prominent position in the Dragon Temple and that he should leave Tianshui City and return to the capital as soon as possible.
Fu Lingxi said at that time, I will stay for a few more days and wait for your grandfather's reply before leaving.
So after Sauron left with his army, Fu Lingxi still stayed.
She has been educated by the Dragon Temple since she was a child, so she has very high attainments in certain classics and arts, so she plans to take advantage of these few days to teach Qinqin and Ashi Yuanba.
Fu Yan'er was very silent towards Fu Lingxi, but Qinqin was very cold towards her.
Although he was willing to listen to her class, he remained silent and refused to respond. No matter how gentle and comforting Fu Lingxi was, it was of no use.
Although this little girl is only six years old, she is very precocious and remembers everything the adults say.
During the conversation between Suo Ningbing and Suo Lun, she mentioned something about her mother Fu Lingxi, so in Qinqin's mind, this woman who should be called grandma once abandoned her father and aunt.
Therefore, Qinqin will never pay attention to her.
Of course, Fu Lingxi would not care about her granddaughter and continued to do her best to teach her two children.
The day after Sauron left, Fu Lingxi finally met Yan Naier in private, which was also an important reason for him to come to Tianshui City.
"Meet my mother-in-law." Yan Naier saluted.
Fu Lingxi took Yan Naier's hands, looked at her tenderly, and said nothing for a long time.
"Nair, can you leave Sauron?" Fu Lingxi suddenly said.
Yan Naier's beautiful little face trembled slightly and said, "Why?"
Fu Lingxi said: "Because you have demon blood, maybe you don't know that Fang Qingshu once led a huge group of judges and knights to Tianshui City to arrest you, but because of a very special reason, his arrest
The arrest operation has been suspended. But it does not mean that you are safe. The devil's blood in your body is involved in a huge matter. Once you are arrested again, Sauron will definitely be implicated."
Yan Naier's face instantly turned pale!
Fu Lingxi said: "If the love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night? If you leave Sauron, others will not want to implicate Sauron through you, which is a good thing for both you and Sauron.
As the judge of the Dragon Temple, I may be able to protect you when the time comes."
Yan Naier's face had lost all color.
Fu Lingxi said: "Because you have been blessed by the dragon seal relics and donated the dragon seal stone tablet, I can arrange for you to enter the Dragon Temple as a female monk. In this way, even if you have demon blood in your body, you can still be regarded as a female monk.
The monks of the Dragon Temple sacrificed their bodies to feed demons in order to study the power of darkness!"
Nair closed her beautiful eyes, as if she was lost in thought.
"You love Sauron very much, and I also want to protect him. This is the best outcome for you and him." Fu Lingxi said: "Leave him and follow me into the Dragon Temple."
Nair opened her beautiful eyes, shook her head and said: "I can't do this. If I really leave him and follow you into the Dragon Temple, he may set off a huge wave and rob me from the Dragon Temple. In order to
I must leave for his safety. It sounds very noble and great, and I am willing to sacrifice for love. But for such a big thing, I have to listen to him, not you."
Fu Lingxi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
Nair continued: "And my husband said that the devil's blood in me will not bring danger, at least for a long time!"
Fu Lingxi narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "He just said this to make you feel at ease. Men can be very blind when it comes to love."
"No!" Nair said: "I love him very much and know him very well. I can clearly distinguish which words he said are comforting and which words are true. My husband told me clearly that the demon blood in my body will not
He has basically solved the crisis that it caused, and it is impossible for Fang Qingshu to do anything with this matter again."
Nair didn't lie. Regarding the demon blood in Nair's body, Sauron did have a tacit understanding with Wei Ying.
The status of Huaiyi in the Dragon Temple is the same as that of Ji Xiuning, and he is currently the top commander in arresting the World-Destroying Demon Emperor. Once he speaks, I believe Fang Qingshu will not dare to disobey him.
Then, Yan Naier said: "My husband told me that you hold an important position in the Dragon Temple Tribunal. It seems not good to be away for so many days. It is better to go back earlier."
Fu Lingxi was stunned. The daughter-in-law in front of her had such a fierce personality that she even took the initiative to drive him away.
But Nair is such a person, she will not stick to the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She is completely full of the spirit of ownership of Tianshui City and Suo Clan, and completely regards this place as her, her husband and Suo Ningbing's home.
Three days later!
Sauron led 15,000 cavalry and rushed to Donghai City, the capital of the Southeast Province!
In the entire Donghai City, there are only 5,000 second-line troops at this time. These people were originally used to maintain public security in Donghai City. Some of them were government officials, some were militiamen, and some were local ruffians.
"I am the Marquis of Tianshui, acting governor of the Southeast Province. Open the city gate immediately." Sauron yelled: "Otherwise, we will kill Wu Lun!"
A general on the top of the city looked at the endless array of cavalry behind Sauron. He was trembling with fright and said in a trembling voice: "I need to go back to report to Master Chang Shi. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty the Marquis."
Before he could finish his words, an arrow hit his throat, killing him completely.
Sauron said coldly: "I am the Marquis of Tianshui, the acting governor of the Southeast Province. Open the city gate immediately. Otherwise, we will kill you!"
"Lord Marquis, we are just a patrol camp." Before the commander could finish speaking, his entire head was shot.
"Open the city gate, or I will kill you all!" Sauron shouted coldly.
Although he led all cavalry, it was easy to break through Donghai City. However, he did not do this. He had to open the door to the defenders inside.
The defenders on the city wall looked at each other in disbelief, fighting each other, wanting to immediately throw away their weapons and run away.
"Who dares to escape? Even if they escape to the ends of the earth, they will be killed!" Sauron said coldly: "I will count down to three. If the city gate is not opened, it will be treated as treason. All the generals and soldiers guarding the city will be executed.
!”
"three"
"two"
Before Sauron shouted, the gate of Donghai City slowly opened!
Sauron's eyes were like lightning, and the defenders at the city gate suddenly trembled and quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads at all.
"Enter the city!" Sauron ordered!
Immediately, fifteen thousand cavalry entered Donghai City in a mighty manner, taking over the defense of the entire city as quickly as possible.
Sauron led an army of five thousand and directly surrounded the Governor's Mansion!
At this time, hundreds of senior officials were crowded in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.
All the middle and high-level officials in Donghai City and the Governor's Mansion are here, and everyone is looking at their backbone, Shi Yanwuji, the Governor of the Southeast Province!
At this time, a warrior quickly entered the lobby, knelt down and reported: "Master Changshi, Marquis Sauron has surrounded the Governor's Mansion, and he himself has entered."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the officials present changed and they all whispered to each other.
"Quiet!" Yan Wuzhi shouted in a cold voice: "What are you afraid of? He Sauron doesn't have any tricks. Don't forget that behind us are 12,000 officials from the Southeast Province. Without us, how can he govern the Southeast Province?
Can Tianshui City find a hundred civil servants?"
As soon as these words came out, the officials present felt a little relieved.
Yan Wuzhi said: "Moreover, the whole world is watching him now. Behind us are Yandang and many noble families. If he dares to do anything unwise to us, he will completely offend those who are watching.
The power will only push them completely towards His Highness Ji Li, Sauron is not that stupid, he is just acting, trying to scare us!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became more relaxed.
"Bang bang bang bang"
At this time, hundreds of warriors entered the lobby of the Governor's Mansion and guarded key positions.
Then, Sauron with the golden crown and silk robes walked in, followed by His Majesty the King's confidant, the eunuch Gao Yin, holding the King's imperial edict in his hand.
Zhuang Zhixuan, who has a fiery figure, stood coldly and stretched out his hand to Sauron, his right hand always holding the hilt of the sword, as if he was about to draw the sword at any time.
Entering the lobby, Sauron went directly to the highest Ginza and sat down!
Governor-General Shi Yanwuzhi sneered: "Marquis Sauron, why do you need to act like this? Who can you win? Who can you convince if you are so domineering and superficial? Without the demeanor of a king, how can you attract talented people to help you? If you want to show off your authority,
, just continue to be your loner!"
Sauron looked at Yan Wuzhi and said: "You are Shi, the governor-general, the first civil servant in the Southeast Province, the brother of Prime Minister Yan Wuji, one of the leaders of the Yan Party, and the only leader of the 12,000 officials in the Southeast Province, Yan
Nothing?"
Yan Wuzhi said: "Yes, that's right!"
Sauron said: "When Duke Wei was the governor of the Southeast, he handed over all internal affairs to you. You can decide the fate of all officials in the Southeast Province and all important matters in the Southeast Province with one word. You are the truth.
Your Majesty, King of the Southeast, are you right that 12,000 officials only follow your lead?"
Yan Wuzhi raised his head and said: "Exactly!"
Sauron added: "You are talented. In the past eight years, you have managed the southeastern province in an orderly manner. It is almost the most prosperous and prosperous province in the world, right?"
Yan Wuzhi said: "Exactly!"
Sauron said: "You are conceited about your talent. If I didn't have you, I wouldn't be able to command any official or govern the southeastern province, right?"
Yan Wuzhi said proudly: "Of course!"
Sauron said: "If I want to get your support, I must first build a tomb for Yan Tingyi, kneel down and kowtow, and cut off my hair as a scapegoat. Then I will look at the thatched cottage again, treat you as a virtuous corporal, and treat you as a teacher. Only then will you be willing to support me?"
?"
Yan Wuzhi sneered: "It was originally true, but now you have no chance. I clearly see a superficial and arrogant person. Even if such a person gains power for a while, he is destined to be a withered bone in the grave. It is really disappointing."
"Haha" Sauron said with a smile: "I have nothing to say. There are hundreds of officials present. Do you think they will listen to you or me?"
"Boring and superficial," he said coldly.
Sauron said: "There are always sides in life. The hundreds of officials present are middle- and high-level officials from the Governor's Mansion and Donghai City. So start taking sides now. Choose to listen to me and stand behind me.
If you choose to listen without hesitation, stand behind him!"
After saying that, Sauron walked down from Governor Ginza and came to stand opposite Yan Wuzhi!
Hearing this, Yan Wuzhi and the officials present could hardly believe their ears. This Sauron was so naive and superficial. Is this a child playing house?
This man is really disappointing. He even thought about giving Sauron a chance without saying anything. Now that I think about it, it is really a great shame.
"Swish, swish, swish" All the officials present shared the same hatred and voted with their feet, standing behind Yan Wuzhi!
In the huge lobby, all 319 officials stood behind Yan Wuzhi, and there was no one behind Sauron!
There was no pride on Yan Wuzhi's face, but was filled with absolute indifference, and he said: "Marquis Sauron, you can only humiliate yourself by doing this!"
Sauron looked behind him and saw that the dignified governor was completely ignored by Chang Shi. He was really deceiving himself.
He simply sat on the floor and said with a smile: "There is a joke in my hometown. There is a person who is extremely incompetent, has no ability, and can't find a way out. So someone scolded him, you are so stupid, you can only become an official."
"Being an official is difficult and easy. Sometimes if you catch a pig and put it in this official position, it might do better than a human being. At least it won't cause harm."
As soon as Sauron said this, all the officials present were extremely angry. This was simply a slap in the face and an insult to their character.
Sauron said: "Yan Wuzhi, there are three hundred and nineteen people behind you, and there is no one behind me. However, I want the number of people behind us to be the same. What do you think we can do?"
"You will get more help if you get good, but you will get less if you don't!" Yan Wuzhi sneered: "Marquis Sauron, for the sake of the dignity of the kingdom, don't continue to make a fool of yourself. From now on, you will continue to dominate Tianshui City and become the acting governor of the Southeast Province.
You can continue to wear it if you like, but please don't interfere in matters outside Tianshui City. This is good for you and me."
Sauron said: "The way is, the number of people behind us is zero, so it's even, and I won't lose to you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience changed their minds completely!
Then, Sauron took out an hourglass and stood upside down. The sand in it kept sliding down, and it ran out after a quarter of an hour.
Sauron stretched out his finger and pointed in the crowd.
"Order your troops, your generals, sesame chili sauce, if you have money, drink and drink, if you don't, get out of here and come out!"
The official who was clicked by Sauron trembled, his legs trembled, and he continued to stand where he was.
The two warriors caught the fat white official like a chicken.
"What official position do you hold?" Sauron asked.
"History of Donghai City!" the fat white official said loudly.
"Sir," said Sauron, "will you stand behind me?"
The fat white official trembled and was speechless for a moment.
Without waiting for his answer, Sauron said: "Oh, if you don't stand, kill me!"
"Shua" Zhuang Zhixuan raised the knife and dropped it.
In the southeast city, Fat Shi Bai’s head rolled down and blood splattered everywhere!
Everything happened so suddenly that all the officials in the audience even forgot to scream and stood there as if they had been struck by lightning.
Sauron ignored their reactions and continued to order his troops and generals, reciting formulas.
Soon, the second unlucky guy was named.
"What's your official position? Oh, forget it, I won't ask. Are you willing to stand behind me? Forget it, I see that you are the kind of person who would rather die than surrender. You definitely don't want to." Sauron said: "Kill!"
"Whoa!" Zhuang Zhixuan raised the knife and dropped it, and another huge head rolled down.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the headless corpse fell.
That head was filled with fear even before death, and he refused to rest in peace!
