The night has always been a bit harsh, at least a normal person can only resist this harshness by not going out.
There are probably not many good people who can be more ruthless than the night.
Lou Chi stood in the corner, looking at the empty street, his heart full of resentment.
Just because of his own negligence, just because he really thought that he was a family member of the general, so he spoke a little carelessly, so he was assigned to a place like this to do dirty work.
Maolin is really a poor place...
As a person who has settled in Jinting City, the imperial capital of Loufan, he is currently in this dark little town. Only three words can sum up his mood.
look down.
"Damn it, people here can't even light an oil lamp?"
Lou Chishen muttered to himself.
Behind him, a group of people dressed in black were waiting for his orders. They planned to kill tonight.
Qi Heman told them that they would kill more people when they came to Maolin, but the people killed were not those who were willing to take refuge in Dayu, but those who were strongly opposed to taking refuge in Dayu.
These people can be called Lou Fan's lackeys, but the Lou Fan people don't care about their life or death.
Since they are willing to be lackeys, they should have the consciousness, and when it comes time to sacrifice them to help Lou Fan, they should sacrifice their lives.
If more of these people die, those in the Maolin court will suspect that it was the jade people who did it.
Those who originally hoped to fall into the arms of Jade Kingdom may also hesitate.
Although Lou Chishen didn't understand why the general ordered him like this, even if the general explained it to him, he still wouldn't understand.
He has a straightforward temper and only wants to kill, of course, those who are disobedient. What does it mean to pick up and kill the obedient ones?
Kill those who are willing to seek refuge in the Jade Kingdom, and of course the rest will not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
But this time he was really frightened by Qihe Manruo, so he didn't dare to question anything.
Now he just wants to finish what Qihe Manruo told him as soon as possible, and then rush back as soon as possible. He doesn't want to stay in such a poor and weak place for a while longer.
"Move quickly."
Lou Chishen turned around and ordered: "During the day, I have already pointed out the location to you. No one is allowed to make a mistake. Whoever makes a mistake will not be able to go back. Do you remember that?"
The group of men in black behind him all nodded.
Lou Chishen waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Hundreds of men in black immediately dispersed, each of them carrying murderous intent. This night was destined to be overflowing with murderous intent.
After all his men dispersed, Lou Chishen found a place to sit down and wait for the news.
This place is pretty good, facing a small garden and surrounded by a low wall.
Although the night wind is very cold, at least there is a low wall to block it.
If it were in the past, how could Lou Chishen let himself curl up and sit under this low wall and wait.
Only a beggar would huddle under the corner like this. It makes me feel embarrassed just thinking about it.
However, according to his expectation, it should not take long to finish the work.
In this small country of Maolin, the families of the courtiers are not living a very good life, so how can they have any decent bodyguards to protect the courtyard?
What he brought with him were all the elites of Lou Fan, people from Qihe Manruo's personal barracks. These elites cooperated with each other tacitly and were absolutely reliable in their work.
Huddled in this corner, Lou Chishen involuntarily tightened his clothes again.
Never come to this place again.
According to his calculations, the nearest family only had a dozen people in total. His men would be done with the work in just a moment, and would be back in a quarter and a half at most.
But after waiting for two full seconds and no one came back, Lou Chishen felt that something was not right.
Just when he was about to get up, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
A keen sense of danger made him subconsciously decide not to move.
There were two bangs and a muffled sound not far away from him, as if something had been dropped to the ground.
Then Lou Chishen heard a groaning sound. Although it was not loud, the sound was very miserable, as if it could go directly into his ears.
He guessed that it might be one of his men, but he didn't know why, but he didn't dare to show his face right away.
In fact, Lou Chishen felt that there could not be any real masters in the small country of Maolin. Not to mention the strong ones in the Wuyue realm, there were probably not many in the Diocesan realm.
However, he is now a little scared, inexplicably, feeling that as long as he shows his face, something will happen.
Just when I was thinking about this, there were a few more muffled sounds coming from outside, and then it sounded like more people were screaming "ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch".
At that moment, Lou Chi wanted to get up and run away.
However, at such a time, it was dead of night and surprisingly cold, and many people outside were moaning...
They were probably in pain and fear, so they made such deliberately suppressed moans.
This situation lasted for about two moments, with muffled sounds and more moans coming.
I don't know how long it took, but Lou Chishen finally couldn't hold it any longer.
He decided to retreat quietly, not daring to go out, so he would first walk into the small garden and escape from another direction.
Just as he moved, he suddenly stopped again.
He slowly turned around, slowly raised his head, and saw a person standing on the low wall looking down at him.
He had no idea when the man jumped up.
Although he was right next to the low wall, he didn't hear a sound or feel anything unusual.
The reason why he stopped and did not dare to move again was entirely because of a practitioner's perception of danger.
"I am a beauty."
Lou Chishen had an idea and said something in Central Plains dialect that his pronunciation was not very accurate.
After holding it in for a while, he added: "If you dare to kill me, I, Dayu, will raze Maolin to the ground."
The man just looked at him like that, and after a while he replied with a few words.
"I never kill anyone."
Lou Chi felt happy, thinking that he was intimidated by his own momentum.
So he stood up and said: "You'd better be wiser. Since I have identified myself, you should get out of the way."
The man looked at Lou Chishen as if he were looking at a monster. Even at this night, Lou Chishen still understood that look.
Probably this person is really elegant and won't curse others casually, but he has a look of stupidity in his eyes that he can't hide even at night.
"I just don't kill people."
After the man said these words, he turned around and left. Lou Chi said to himself, "Who are you trying to scare?" Then he felt pain.
After a while, he felt severe pain in his limbs and fell down.
Within another breath, he flew up involuntarily, and then fell heavily outside the wall.
Now, at least he understood one thing, and that was where the muffled sound outside came from.
After landing, he couldn't move. Perhaps his limbs were broken, or perhaps his veins were blocked.
He lay there and could only look left and right, and what he saw was men in black all over the place.
The man who was talking to him stood in the distance. Around this man, hundreds of men in black lay there, all moaning in unbearable pain.
He didn't kill people, but these people all became useless people.
On this night that should have been filled with murderous intent, he alone suppressed all the murderous intent.
The scene of hundreds of people lying here is so shocking.
At this moment, Lou Chishen also knew that he could not just leave it to fate.
He yelled at that guy with all his strength: "I am the general of the Loufan Empire. If you don't let us go now, Loufan's cavalry will kill Maolin until not even a blade of grass grows!"
The middle-aged man looked sideways at him, raised his hand and hissed to his mouth.
Lou Chishen was about to curse again when suddenly his mouth seemed to explode. All his teeth were shattered, his tongue seemed to be broken, his lips were split, his cheeks were exposed, and blood splattered.
It was like an invisible iron rod hit him hard in the mouth.
The middle-aged man stood there and said softly: "I sometimes don't understand why you think people who don't kill people are not scary... You are making some noise, please stop making any noise.
.”
Maybe it's because his voice is really not loud, or maybe it's because the people moaning all over the floor simply can't stop moaning.
So he sighed softly.
With a snap, he snapped his fingers.
Hundreds of people's mouths burst open at the same time, just like Lou Chishen's fate.
The lower half of each person's face looked like it had been blown to pieces, and was bloody and bloody.
Now, if they want to make a sound, they can only force it out of their throats.
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the night sky, thinking that he was still too tempered.
All I have practiced for so many years is observing the precepts, but I have never really kept the precepts...
When he stared at the night sky in a daze, the wandering look in his eyes had nothing to do with the injured people on the ground, but more about longing for them.
Early the next morning, it was as if nothing had happened in the city. The people got up as usual and did what they should do.
Someone walked here, and even the blood on the ground was gone, so who would have thought that hundreds of people were rolling and groaning here.
Maolin Palace, an open space behind the main hall, hundreds of people are here, most of them have fainted, after all, they are just not dead.
The middle-aged man who insists on not killing, standing behind King Keya, is like a tree or an umbrella. He is always easy to be ignored when standing behind her, but where she is, he is there.
Shelter from wind and rain.
The captain of the guard, Gold, turned to look at Keya: "Your Majesty, these people cannot be kept. If they are left behind, they will be a hidden danger."
Keya pondered for a while and then shook his head and said: "I know I can't stay, but I still have to stay for a while. Sir, if nothing unexpected happens, Dayu's envoy will be here soon. I hope Dayu's envoy can see the fate of these people. They have seen it."
, then you will understand my determination, Maolin, to surrender to Dayu."
After she finished speaking, she looked back at the middle-aged man: "Sir, is this an okay arrangement?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "Listen to your Majesty."
On such occasions, he would never speak as a master. He would always make people feel that His Majesty is Maolin's God.
"Then let's do this for now."
Keya said: "In addition, you must be prepared at all times. Once news comes from the border that the Great Jade Envoy has arrived, I will personally go out to greet him."
She looked at Guard Chief Gold: "In addition, the entire territory has been announced to be sealed off. No one is allowed to enter or exit the border except for the envoys who welcome Dayu."
"Send an order to inform the whole country's troops and horses to prepare supplies, food, grass, weapons and armor, and let the officials in various places inform the people and prepare for war. If the weapons are not enough, use wood, and if the wood is not enough, use stones."
She took a deep breath and then said loudly: "Now, I can no longer hide anything. I will lead the people of Maolin to surrender to Dayu. From this moment on, the people of Maolin are no longer Lou Fan's slaves!"
The moment she raised her arms and shouted, everyone in the palace cheered.
Maolin is a place where I have hated Lou Fan for a long time.
But the middle-aged man's eyes were full of worry.
He didn't become happy when he saw Maolin surrendering to Dayu just because he was a beautiful woman.
What he was worried about was that as the first vassal state of Loufan to surrender to Dayu, he would face endless revenge.
But Dayu, who was thousands of miles away, was unable to protect him at all.
