Shang Wuji thought to himself, boss, are you messing with me? Now that his career is finally on the right track, as long as the old monster seduces Chen Hiccup, the road leading to Jiangyin City will definitely be a prosperous one.
After all, why are you still planning to go out for a walk?
"Shou Li, after you have a successful career, what kind of princess can't you play with? Just be patient for now."
"roll!"
County Magistrate Li glared at Shang Wuji, "Go and go about your business. You'd better think carefully about how to kill the gentlemen in Xuecheng first. Do you still care about my personal hobbies?"
He wanted to continue persuading, but when he thought about the troubles there in Xuecheng, Shang Wuji changed his mind and thought, no matter how hungry his brother-in-law and his boss are, hundreds of miles apart, no matter how beautiful Princess Chen is, her crotch is enough
Not enough.
After thinking about it, the uncle immediately hummed a little tune and left. The resentment of Dai Jizi being stabbed to death five times by the boss also disappeared.
However, Dai Jizi was stabbed to death five times in full view of the public, which shocked a group of doctors and generals.
Especially those who like to gossip and plot against the Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Forces behind his back. By this time, they were dripping with cold sweat and their backs were numb.
Who would have thought that a macho man is fierce in every sense of the word. In addition to being brave, he is also fierce.
"Dai Jizi...was killed like this?"
"When the people of the Song Dynasty arrived, the general also arrived. Dai Jizi faced him and without any explanation, stabbed him to death with five stabs!"
"hiss……"
Cruel enough.
However, the crocodile men and brave men are quite calm. They are used to this kind of scene.
It is a basic operation.
Otherwise, Shaha can be trained? This is Shou Li's wise leadership, leading by example.
At this moment, the generals and officials of the various countries were in extremely complicated moods. They both looked down upon Li Jie and were in awe of him. This feeling was just like when their ancestors faced the Chu State.
They're exactly the same, no difference.
It's just that the fierce men of the Wu Kingdom were obviously much more powerful than the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom, and they were extremely fierce.
"Do you think the battle of 'Resisting Song Dynasty and aiding Fu' will be over?"
"Things will be settled as soon as the matter is settled. Now the people of the Song Dynasty have ceded land and paid indemnity, and there is peace. We cannot force the people of the Song Dynasty too much, so that the people of the Song Dynasty become "sorrow soldiers." By then, the war will continue, which is not what we wanted!"
"That makes sense. If the Song people disperse within ten days, I will lead my troops back to the country."
"What if the people of Song Dynasty don't keep their word, and see us disperse and raise an army again?"
"It's for the sake of 'benevolence and righteousness' to fight again, so why bother!"
The generals and doctors of various countries all spoke sonorously and forcefully, but the exchanges between their eyes were far more frequent than their mouths.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to withdraw within ten days. As our troops act, we will obey the general's actions. If the general disbands the rebel army, our troops will disperse again."
"It's ridiculous. If Jiangyinzi stays for a day, you will belong to him for a day. I wonder which country you are from?"
"The general behaves strictly, how can he act like a villain?"
"Ah……"
Some people mocked disdainfully, but no one bothered to continue to refute.
Although Li Jie is the leader of the barbarians, after having been in contact with him for so long, he naturally understands that the energy displayed by Li Jie is definitely not the quality that a leader of the barbarians should have.
Starting from the call to "Resist Song Dynasty and Aid Fu Fu", it is really difficult to clearly explain the losses and gains of various countries.
To say that there is a gain, it is indeed a gain. At least "Chixia" can be successfully imported from Jiangyin City. The monarch and the officials are very satisfied.
But to talk about the losses... it's really hard to put it into words. Many Minzhuang who came out from the country were deceived into going to Jiangyin City of Wu State. They may not even go to Jiangyin City. They just went south along the Hangou.
Hanging out in Jiangbei.
Furthermore, although "Red Clouds" can be imported from Jiangyin City, the price paid is not just sending troops and money to fight. In order to obtain more "Red Clouds", it is obvious that more things must be traded.
As for the newly established market, Jiangyin City will almost exclusively enjoy one of its privileges, that is, priority trading rights.
Want "red haze"? Yes. But if Jiangyin-eup wants to purchase your specialty, it will have priority.
As long as the countries do not break through the "Chixia" printing and dyeing technology and dye formula, they will be restricted by King Wu's order to make a strong man.
There is no way, the scholar-bureaucrats don't need "red glow", but the princes do want it. When they are buried in peace, they can buy less bronze wares. Overall, it saves money.
After all, silk is easier to make than bronze.
In addition to thinking about themselves, the princes of various countries also think about feeding future generations, and they also think about their own national finances.
If it weren't for the fear of being criticized, some princes would just burn them twice and bury them. There is no need to spend so much money on funerals.
Even if there are ghosts and ghosts after death, they still recognize it.
It's hard enough while you're alive, so why worry about the world after death?
However, most of the princes who think this way are small countries, and the monarch himself did not live a good life when he was alive, so naturally he does not have so much thought to think about things after death.
For example, in the State of Yu, the king acted like a village chief. He had to think twice before eating any meat. It all depended on his good character. The people in the country would rather go out to work than raise money to buy a set of good bronzes for the monarch of the State of Yu.
It's time to die and be buried with you.
If you were someone who was a little less knowledgeable, you could basically point to County Magistrate Li's "Big Red 01" to save your life and honor.
Otherwise, it would be too shabby when he was encased and buried.
It is precisely because the kings of various countries have various ideas that within the "Justice League", although there are some who are like Zhu Bajie and start to argue about breaking up and disbanding, there are also some who are determined to follow County Magistrate Li and end up in trouble.
"Gentlemen! Regarding the land of Xue State, the general has a strategy!"
When a group of people were hurting each other in Biyang City, someone rushed to the "Justice League" tea restaurant and shouted loudly.
"Land of Xue State?!"
"Already have a plan?!"
Don't worry about it, the division of the spoils after the war will definitely be indispensable.
Those who had been clamoring to return home within ten days also shut up at this time and listened with all their ears.
"The land of Xue State is not owned by Biyang State. The man Xuehou surrendered was not a strong man from Wu State, but the leader of the rebel army!"
One sentence clarifies the difference. If Marquis Xue surrendered to Jiang Yinzi, the fierce man of Wu, then the land of Xue State belongs to Wu State.
But Xue Hou surrendered to Li Jie, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, so this matter must be discussed.
Li Jie is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, that is, the "general", so after Xue Guo surrenders, this land will belong to the coalition forces.
So as long as the coalition exists, then as one of the shareholders of the coalition, that is, the country or organization that has produced "righteous men" to fight for justice, will be able to enjoy its due share from the land output of Xue State.
But as long as some people break up and some people withdraw, then this matter ends here. The output of Xue State's land has nothing to do with those who withdraw from the coalition forces and do not become "righteous men".
"This...this land of Xue State will have no country on the land and no king on the people?"
Some people look confused, what does this mean?
"The general said that since the 'righteous men' exist, from now on the homeland of Xue will be the 'country of the righteous men'. It's just that the country has no king."
"How can a country be without a king?!"
"What will we call the land of Xue State in the future?"
"The general has specially ordered me to inform all the gentlemen and go to the camp for a public discussion?"
"Public discussion?"
"Public discussion."
The atmosphere inside and outside the tea restaurant was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere. He was shouting about what he wanted to do before, but now his eyes were shining, and he even said that the general was such a good person, so praiseworthy.
The group of people stopped talking nonsense and went out directly to find transportation and went straight to the outside of Biyang City.
It was also at this time that Shang Wuji led a group of crocodile men to Xuecheng.
Also traveling with him was Xue Hou's younger brother, Xue Yi, also known as Shu De. His fiefdom was originally close to Niqiu Mountain and was also called Ni Qiu Yi. However, most people in the Xue Kingdom called him Shu De Yi.
Shu Deyi accompanied Shang Wuji just to be a witness.
"Shangzi, are you really going to do something cruel and violent in Xuecheng?"
"Only punish the first culprit."
Shang Wuji looked ahead and answered Shu Deyi calmly.
"well……"
"Shu De, you may not believe what Shang is saying at this moment. However, you will know in the future that it was my brother's decision that was extremely wise!"
"How dare people who have subjugated their country dare to dream."
"Hehehehe..."
Shang Wuji had no intention of continuing to explain, and smiled very strangely. In fact, Shang Wuji envied Xuehou's family. Not to mention being able to be preserved, the future development of the entire Xue family will definitely be much better than staying in Xue Kingdom.
.
Xue was powerful outside and had mountains inside. Most of the time, the role of Marquis Xue as a monarch was just a decoration. The so-called dignity was just a little courtesy on the surface.
In terms of influence, none of the Xuehou family can compare to Shang Wuji alone.
At least Shang Wuji was busy in Jiangyin City, which was related to the feeding of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as the profits of thousands of caravans entering and leaving the Wu Kingdom.
As long as Shang Wuji wanted to promise a small profit, he would have assassins assassinating the king of a small country like Xuehou every day for more than three hundred days a year, without any pressure.
For Shang Wuji to reach this point, it was his vision and his sister that came into play. If you really want to talk about his talents, many times, they can only be fully released within the framework set up by his boss.
Because the stage provided by Li Jie is just a piece of white paper. You can draw whatever you like. Shang Wuji is responsible for painting, and Li Jie is responsible for going out to brag and beat the customers, forcing them to recognize these paintings as art.
Then pay.
If you don't pay, you don't respect art, you don't respect art... Are you still a human being? Are you still a gentleman?
The logic is self-consistent and perfect!
"Password!"
Inside the gate of Xuecheng, a brave man shouted loudly.
Outside the city, the carriages and horses are parked, and the crocodiles and men are arrayed. However, the procedures still need to be followed. Without the password, there can be no changing of the guard, handover, or release...
Shu Deyi felt a sense of absurd astonishment every time he saw these brave men and women from Jiangyin City who were obviously savages but acted meticulously.
Because the professionalism shown by Crocodile Man and Yongfu is not comparable to that of Xue Guonai or Song State troops.
Not only technical professionalism, but also professional ethics.
"Today's password: Hawkeye is not the Shichibukai."
"The password is correct."
Click.
The city gate was slowly opened. Xuecheng is not high and Xuecheng is not big, so the design of the city gate is relatively traditional and old. After the familiar city gate of his hometown was opened, Shu Deyi burst into tears and felt extremely painful inside.
.
However, Shang Wuji just pretended not to see it. After entering the city gate, he held the talisman and said: "Shou Li Ling!"
"yes!"
Not only the crocodile men and brave men, but also the people in the "Yi Dan Camp" came to obey orders honestly.
As the captain, Captain Jia looked nervous and had sweat on his forehead. He would not dare to neglect a big shot like Shang Wuji. Only by working extra hard and constantly honing his professionalism and loyalty can he win trust.
The more crocodile people become, and the longer the brave man has been around, the more Captain Jia understands that flattering someone under the command of a macho man requires just one mouth.
Of course, if you are a beautiful woman, you only need to add another mouth to satisfy both macho men.
It's a pity that I'm not a beauty, and my family members are also weird, not as good-looking as the fat ladies in "Baisha Village", so there is no hope, I can only rely on talent!
"Gui, the chiefs of all the clans in the famous city came to gather here and said that Shang Wuji was ordered to come and discuss important matters with you!"
"Gui, follow your orders!"
After receiving the talisman, Captain Jia and the people from the "Yi Dan Camp" immediately dispersed.
Later, Shang Wuji said again: "Humph, are you ready to worship Lord Sishui outside the city?"
"Build a platform with earth, and prepare all the sacrifices."
"Okay, we'll see what happens later."
The two of them made eye contact, and even though Shu Deyi had already known what he was doing this time, he still felt frightened. When he faced Shang Wuji, he was fine, but when facing Sha Heng, he didn't dare to speak.
Sha Hen is also a fierce general. He doesn't talk much and can probably beat Dai Guolv Ben to collapse. He is definitely not an easy person.
There was plenty of time, so Shang Wuji immediately got people busy and prepared a large number of carriages. As for the group of crocodile men who followed, they scattered out, taking the candidate crocodile men and a team of "Yi Guang" from Biyang City.
camp".
In addition, a group of troops also went to the east city gate, led by Sha Bei, and also Dai Guolu Ben who surrendered. Cooperating with Sha Bei was Sergeant Sha Fei of Dai Guolu Ben.
This is a certificate of submission, and it requires blood to be seen on one's hands.
Shafei was not as nervous as he was now on the battlefield. He thought that the strong man Wu wanted him to come to Xuecheng to massacre the city.
I was extremely nervous on the road. I communicated with Shabei several times, but it was always a chicken-to-duck talk. Because Shabei couldn't understand what Shafei said, and although Shafei could understand some of Shabei's words, his vocabulary was too complicated and complicated.
Sometimes if there is no translator, you can only rely on guessing and gestures.
But one thing Shafei can be sure of is that Li Jie didn't ask him to come and massacre the city.
As for other things, he can't control that much. As long as it's not a city massacre, he can massacre anything. He can do it.
Wow.
Sha Bei drew out a map of Xuecheng's distribution. He first informed Shafei of the southeast, northwest, and then clicked on the map: "The Xu family, the Song family, and the Lu family, these three clans are the landlords of Xuecheng."
"Kill them all?!"
"No, only the first culprit will be killed."
After saying this, Shafei felt extremely uncomfortable, but it didn't matter. Now he was a member of Jiangyin City, and Dai Guolu Ben didn't have to die. He only had to go to Huainan to farm.
"Wait a moment, there will be a signal."
"Signal?"
"Just wait a little longer."
"yes."
Sha Bei didn't explain what the signal was, and Sha Fei was also very surprised. How did the Wu people communicate from north to south and east to west? No matter how small Xuecheng was, the span was only a few miles, so fast horses might not be able to cope with the situation.
Could it be a horn?
The horn does indeed work.
Shafei was thinking this when he saw Shabei stepping forward to call the door.
"Password!"
"Today's password: Hawkeye is not the Shichibukai!"
"The password is correct!"
A large number of teams entered the east gate one after another, but they did not go directly into the neighborhood. Instead, they stayed in the urn city and waited for orders.
At this moment, Shafei was very nervous. If he was killed in Wengcheng, he would really have no power to resist.
But probably knowing what Shafei was thinking, Shabei stood with him, making Shafei finally feel relieved.
After waiting for a long time, from the Wengcheng, one could hear lively laughter on the streets in the city. The people talking and laughing were in the local dialect of Xue State. Shafei listened carefully and found that they should be among the nobles living in the east city.
Home.
Shafei looked at Shabei doubtfully, but Shabei just stood there stupidly. Not only Shabei, but the other crocodile people were also resting honestly, neither making any noise, nor standing or sitting in a very orderly manner.
He couldn't help but admire him in his heart, but this was not the time to flatter him. Shafei felt a little strange. Since he wanted to take action, wouldn't it be possible for those people to take to the street at this time and be taken away in one wave?
How could these elegant and elegant carnivores be able to stop the wolf-like and tiger-like crocodile men and brave men on the street?
Doubts abounded, but I didn't dare to ask, so I could only wait quietly.
At this time, Shang Wuji looked at the hourglass and walked several times in a row, and suddenly sneered: "Arrogant and arrogant, the boss of the family."
Shu Deyi's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said: "There are a few people in the city who are relatives of a large country. If they are insulted, I am afraid they will attract hatred."
"A clan member from a great country?"
Shang Wuji smiled even more heartily, "Is it Qin or Jin? Qi or Chu? Among the great powers in the world, which one has never fought against me and Wu?"
Even the Qin State collided with the Wu State, but it was on the territory of the Chu State.
That is to say, Wu State is geographically remote. If he were in the Central Plains, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
"The Xu family, Song family, Lu family, Wei family, Zheng family in the city..."
"Shu De, don't worry. You are from Wu, why should you be afraid of Xiaoxiao?"
"..."
Uncle Deyi's face turned red, and he immediately stood up and cupped his hands: "What Shangzi said is true."
Not to mention Shu Deyi, even Xuehou, when dealing with domestic nonsense in this life, he must carefully consider whether it will upset the big families in the country.
Shu Deyi is not even a king, he is just a country bumpkin at the foot of Niqiu Mountain, relying on his meager reputation to earn a living, so naturally he does not dare to offend these established families.
But as an outsider, Shang Wuji was not afraid at all, and even a little disdainful.
He now somewhat understands how his boss feels. There is no emotion or friendship anyway, so there is no hesitation in killing.
At most, things tend to harm their own kind. As human beings, we may feel a little sad, but soon this sadness will be crushed by reason.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk...
The sound of carriages came one after another, and soon a carriage with a family name and family crest appeared in sight.
Shang Wuji raised his eyes and said, "The Lu family is quite fast."
"Shangjun, you are polite."
"Luzi please."
As cultural people, Shang Wuji and Li Jie are obviously different. In the eyes of these local snakes in Xuecheng, they are "one of their own".
And Li Jie? Does a savage count as a human being? What’s more, he is a savage in the "sand wilderness". He is even more uncivilized and ignorant of etiquette.
The Kingdom of Wu was already barbaric and low-spirited, but Li Jie, a wild dog, was even more untamable and hopeless.
"Shangjun wants to sacrifice to Lord Sishui?"
"My lord, 'carving a boat to ask for a sword' is a blessing. It is also right to return your wishes to the Lord of Sishui now."
When Mr. Lu heard "Carve a boat and ask for a sword", his eyes obviously changed. It was about gods. Who could tell whether it was true or false?
You must know that it was in full public view. Thousands of people saw Li jumping into the Surabaya River and then carrying a Wu hook ashore.
Even if this needs to be arranged in advance, how to solve the problem of Wu Gou's underwater positioning?
Many wealthy families can't figure it out, although they have always suspected that this is a trick played by the barbarians of Wu State.
But the routine is too magical, and some of the family members can't help but wonder about this matter. Could it be that Mr. Surabaya is really helping me?
And when the King of Wu ordered the fierce man Li Jie, did he really have a relationship with the Lord of Sishui?
You know, I heard that Wu King Gouchen kept a big white crocodile in his home, which was also very magical. It was the auspicious river water, which is why the Wu Kingdom was so powerful.
After chatting for a while, we saw carriages coming from various families. Not all the family members arrived, but there were quite a few. There were also female relatives, and they were all dignified and respectable. They did not whisper to each other and make noises. Occasionally, there were young girls walking among the crowd.
It's so lively.
The whole picture is simply full of warmth and overflowing with joy and happiness.
"I am extremely grateful that you can come to worship Lord Sishui."
"Shangzi's words are serious."
"Then... all the disciples will go to Surabaya with Wuji to offer sacrifices to the Lord of Surabaya."
There was still a sense of ceremony. In addition to the fluttering colorful flags, the gongs and drums were also extremely lively. The nearby savages also came to watch. The country people were poorly dressed, many of them were shirtless, and then they looked longingly at the altar filled with
Various carnivorous fruits and vegetables.
Because the savages have listened to the book, after the sacrifice is completed, these top products will be distributed, and you can get some of them.
Therefore, many savages came, some even from the Song Dynasty, who swam here to enjoy the autumn breeze.
"Shangzi arranged it very carefully."
"Excellent award, outstanding award...Thanks to the lord's attention, I must not ignore it."
After saying this, Shang Wuji took a look at the number of people in each family. They were quite skilled. Any one of them would have a guard of fifty to two hundred people.
The total armed force is probably three to four thousand.
After a little calculation, Shang Wuji immediately felt relieved. Three or four thousand warriors were not enough to kill a group of crocodile men. What's more, this time, there was not just a group of crocodile men.
The brave man, the candidate crocodile man, the candidate brave man, the crossbow archer, and the righteous soldiers of the volunteer camp have all crushed the local snakes in Xuecheng, not to mention the gap in combat effectiveness.
The process of the sacrifice was a bit strange, but it was still similar to that of other countries in the Central Plains. After Shang Wuji finished talking nonsense, a scroll of sacrifice text came out. It was very long and was made of paper.
The elders of each family were all smiling, and they even thought about asking the Wu people to buy some paper for copying the memorial inscriptions, but what Shang Wuji said next made their expressions change.
"This is my lord's handwriting, and it is all words of thanks. The Lord of Surabaya must not neglect his friends. All of you are well-educated people, local celebrities, and of noble birth. If you serve as an envoy, you will be favored by the Lord of Surabaya."
happiness."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The elders of each family were stunned. They only thought that Shang Wuji was crazy and was talking nonsense.
However, the crocodile men and brave men were wearing armor and had already formed small groups to surround all the warriors. At the same time, the crocodile men and the alternate brave men were holding spears and had already formed a battle formation.
"Please send me a message!"
"Please——please send a message——"
The crocodile men all shouted loudly, swords affixed to their bodies, and axes coming to their heads. As Shang Wuji tossed the copper jute containing the sacrificial wine in his hand, there was a crisp clang, and screams suddenly erupted.
"Shang Wuji—little man—"
"Shang Wuji! You are bold! Be bold—"
"Young man from the Kingdom of Wu! Do you know that I am...uhhhhhh!"
Almost in an instant, all the warriors who did not disarm were stabbed to death immediately. The remaining warriors immediately lay on the ground and did not dare to move. How could those noble elders of various tribes resist like wolves and tigers?
Crocodile man?
I saw that each of the former nobles of Xue Kingdom, maybe a doctor, maybe a general, maybe a minister, all had their mouths stuffed with pieces of cloth and paper. These pieces of cloth and paper were naturally what Shang Wuji said.
The lord’s handwriting”.
As for what was written on it, Shang Wuji didn't bother to read it. Maybe it was today's password: Eagle Eye is not the Shichibukai.
It may also be the previous operation codename: Sukabulie, Masefaq.
But no matter what it is, it is very useful to stuff it into other people's mouths. As for Surabaya-kun, have you watched "One Piece" and asked why Hawkeye is not the Shichibukai?
That's not what County Magistrate Li should be concerned about.
Anyway, Mr. Surabaya didn’t say “Sukabule” as a curse, right?
Phew—bang!
A brilliant spark exploded in the sky, and the city suddenly heard shouts of killing!
"I respectfully send you my message——"
"I respectfully send you my message——"
"I respectfully send you my message——"
On the altar, Shang Wuji looked at the rolling Surabaya River with a smile on his face. With a "plop thump" sound, those former nobles of the Xue Kingdom were simply thrown into the Surabaya River.
The surrounding savages originally wanted to disperse, but they didn't dare because there was a "Yi Dan Battalion" led by Jia Gui on the outside to keep watch.
"You are all humble gentlemen. Lord Sishui is most fond of people with outstanding talents and learning. I think I will keep you for a while. We don't have to wait for you to come back."
After saying this, Shang Wuji clapped his hands and said, "Come here, there will be a big distribution of sacrifices."
