Chapter 1354 1354: The beast comes out of the gate (Part 2) [Please vote for me]
Healthy time?
Ever since Luo San knew that Xia Houli was relying on Kang Guo and that his old troops had indirectly joined Kang Guo's camp, Luo San had been deliberately feeding Kang Guo's relevant information. The first thing he came into contact with were two volumes of biographies of famous ministers and celebrities. Although Kang Shi was not on the list, there were famous celebrities in the collection.
During the Kang Dynasty, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and was in charge of the criminal law of Kang State.
It is said that he is a selfless and dedicated person.
These evaluations are derived from official materials of Kangguo, and they are different evaluations among the people. Those who admired him did not hesitate to praise him, while those who hated him wanted to dig up the graves of his eighteenth generation ancestors, saying that he was a torturer who loved to engage in shocking things.
Overall he is a normal person.
Listening to Lady Xiahou's words, the other party seems to have other faces?
"What does this matter have to do with Minister Kang?"
"Well, he's a bit of a mastermind."
Luo San sneered contemptuously and said: "Conquering the Lord? Lord Kang actually believes such absurd rumors? I guess he is not a broad-minded person. Isn't it a way to cover up his own incompetence by saying that his ministers are restraining the Lord?"
Shen Tang: "..."
You old man just says what you say, why do you curse?
Just as she was about to speak, Lao Deng added casually: "Ten thousand steps back, if this Kang Shi really was the ruler, the Lord Kang would dare to entrust him with the important task of being the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. What is so special about this person?" . As soon as I show off my body and say these unflattering words, Lady Xiahou will not care about me, right?"
Shen Tang: "...Of course not."
Lao Deng has said so, what else can she say? The 20-year-old Chehou Hou is very tough. Let alone the cricket in front of her, no one dares to force Lai Lai even if she poops in the street. Hahaha, I look forward to the day when Kang Shiwen takes over Luo San.
People don’t listen to what they say, but they will understand when something happens.
Xia Houyu did not reveal Shen Tang's plan to the others, and the others were not fools. The clues could be found from the grain teams delivering grain to the granary every day and the sharp increase in the frequency of soldiers' drills. The scribes can still hold their own, and the generals have begun to look forward to it.
Sharpening the sword, everything is ready, just waiting for the Lord to raise his arms!
Finally——
On an ordinary day without wind, rain or waves, a message appeared out of nowhere. Like a drop of water falling into hot oil, the oil droplets instantly splashed and crackled, alarming the entire Qi Kingdom. Ye Gong attacks Qi Guo!
To sum up the content, it is said that the current leader of the Qi Kingdom has a pit in his mind. He takes the lead in selling his officials and making fake accounts, and he is greedy for money and makes money by any means;
From top to bottom, from inside to outside, virtue is not matched!
It is time for the sun and the moon to be renewed.
Qi Guo had previously accused Xia Houli of a bunch of unfounded charges and poured a lot of sewage on her. She originally wanted to settle the matter, but Qi Guo pushed further. She heard that Ye Gong, a loyal and loyal person in the court, also suffered because of this. Her uncle could not bear it and her aunt could not bear it. , decided to flip the table!
Trash should be thrown into the trash!
The common people at the bottom of Qi State didn't quite understand what was going on. They didn't even know that there was such a warlord force within the country, let alone who the Lord Ye was in the memorial. They only knew that the war was about to fall on them. Those wealthy families performed slightly better. They knew that this warlord was getting bigger day by day, and even caused great losses to Wang Ting's rebel troops, and there was no return.
When a warlord becomes bigger, there are only three consequences - being pacified by the Royal Court, being recruited by the Royal Court, or killing the Royal Court and replacing it.
The first one has failed, and the second one has not yet shown signs of happening. The warlord leader Xia Houli took the initiative to choose the third one.
The wealthy people were mentally prepared for this and were not surprised.
What surprised them was who was Mr. Ye in the essay?
How could this person become the trigger of this war?
Oh, let alone them, even the leader of Qi Kingdom himself reacted with shock and anger when he saw the proclamation. A chill went straight to the sky, the pores on his body stood up, and his blood flowed backwards! After calming down a little, the second reaction was to think about who Mr. Ye was.
Thinking about it again, I remembered the scapegoat who was sent to prison a while ago.
Oh, that person seems to have the last name Ye.
A mediocre talent who has made little achievements in his whole life, cannot achieve high or low, and relies on the shadow of his ancestors to earn a salary from the state of Qi. His temper is as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine, he can't speak, and he doesn't have many close friends in the court. Every time the leader of Qi State wanted to repair the palace, build a palace, or even have a few more concubines, or raise a few more actors in the inner court for fun, the surnamed Ye liked to take care of it.
The leader of Qi Kingdom had long disliked him.
The last investigation revealed that he and his accomplices had embezzled military supplies and enriched their own pockets. Even though the case was highly suspicious, the leader of the Qi Kingdom did not send anyone to review it and directly convicted him and ordered his family to be executed. I never expected that this person would really collude with the rebellious ministers and traitors, trying to overthrow Qi Guo's society! I don’t think I have wronged this person! He suppressed the anger in his heart and threw the message on the ground: "What happened to him?"
The personal eunuch picked up the message.
He bowed and said, "Today I'll ask you to kill me."
The leader of Qi Kingdom said: "Huh, a good death."
Didn't Xia Houli attack him under the banner of Ye?
It’s really unbelievable!
"After questioning and beheading, order his head to be sent to the army of rebellious officials and traitors, so that the subjects of Qi State can see what the consequences are for being unfaithful and unjust!" There are a bunch of charges listed in the memorandum. If he doesn't admit it, he can be used against him. how? Qi Guo belongs to him, and he is free to use the things in his pockets, so why should he be charged with it?
If he uses his own things, does he need permission from outsiders?
As for the heated public debate...
"I have issued an order that the common people are prohibited from making arrogant comments about the emperor. Anyone who talks about this imperial edict will be treated as a rebellious official and a traitor and will be killed without mercy!"
There were not many literate people, and the government restricted the dissemination of this letter, so even fewer people knew about it. Within a few days, this shocking incident was completely suppressed. There was no splash, and no one in areas far from the front line dared to discuss it.
When the people were quiet, the leader of Qi State felt at ease.
The common people can use up all their energy just to live. They don't have the energy or the channels to learn about news other than survival. Many people didn't even know that there was going to be a war nearby until the day the war broke out, and it was a mess for a while.
"Report——"
The envoy of Qi State sent a "big gift" in front of the battle, and told Xia Houli to receive it personally, but he was afraid that she would not have the courage to see it.
Shen Tang sneered: "What's there that I don't dare to see?"
It was a large, tightly closed box.
The weight of the box does not correspond to its size.
Before the copper lock was opened, Shen Tang could smell the rancid smell of blood and was mentally prepared for the contents of the box.
A flash of sword light flashed, and the sword blade split the copper lock.
Shen Tang used the tip of his sword to open the lid of the box, and everyone gasped - the box contained more than a dozen highly corrupted heads. Countless yellow-white maggots squirmed in the rotting flesh, crawling from the jaw and face to the eye sockets, and a strong putrid smell penetrated everyone's nostrils. Those who are less able to bear it can't help but feel a spasm in their throats just looking at this picture.
"These heads are-"
Xia Houyu looked calm and stepped forward to examine it carefully.
The head was severely decomposed, and the clots in the hair had long been softened by corpse water. After another round of sex, different people's hair stuck together and became knotted. It is not difficult to determine the age and gender of the owner of the head, and there is also a rough estimate of age. There were not only young and strong men in the box, but also elderly women, children, and children. They looked like a family.
Xia Houyu was certain that he had never seen these people.
They shouldn't be any of their classmates or their parents.
Based on recent events, he had a guess.
He stood up and looked around: "Check it out, do you know anyone?"
Everyone shook their heads: "I have no impression." Xia Houyu sighed softly in his heart, and his 70% certainty became 100%. He bowed to Shen Tang and suggested that his lord should ask his uncle and nephew, the former governor of Shanyong County, to come over and recognize him, and maybe he could get to know him.
Shen Tang also guessed: "Yeah."
The former Sheriff Suginaga only met his uncle's classmate many years ago. After a quick glance, he was not impressed and failed to recognize him immediately. But the moment his uncle saw the head in the box, a high-pitched scream escaped from his mouth, and his face was as pale as a ghost. The whole person seemed to have had his backbone ripped out, and he immediately collapsed to the ground like noodles.
He was so heavy that he couldn't be helped up.
"Uncle? Uncle?"
"Uncle, he passed out!"
"Ah--I stopped breathing!"
There was a flurry of activity until the military doctor came over and stabbed the man who was so stimulated that he could hold his breath to wake him up. When I woke up, I was still confused. I looked at a box of heads covered with maggots and cried loudly. I couldn’t believe it!
"The Hunjun and I are at odds with each other!"
He cried blood every word, almost breaking his teeth.
"Irreconcilable!"
His friend just spoke a fair word for him, but the foolish king resorted to such ruthless measures to confiscate his home and destroy his family, degrading his reputation after his death! How can one person do this? If the leader of Qi Kingdom were in front of him now, he could pounce on him and bite his neck off!
Peel the skin of day lilies, drink blood and eat meat!
After the Qiguo envoy ordered people to deliver the gifts, he proudly thought about Shen Tang's reaction. Was it shock, fear, or regret?
He took a sip of his drink and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He asked in a high-pitched voice: "Where are you from?"
The beautiful maid bent over and came up to her, with a voice so delicate that her voice could make her cry: "It's the general who ordered me to serve the envoy."
"He is quite knowledgeable."
Although the messenger is a eunuch, he still has physiological needs. Unable to vent through normal channels, over time it fermented into a deeper desire for destruction. There were few palace ladies who were against him without suffering.
Now that someone is coming to his door for free, and she is a beautiful woman who is well-informed and can serve others, he naturally has no reason to refuse. Under the attentive service of the maid in my arms, I drank half a bottle of wine and became a little tipsy. Just as he was about to do something else, someone hurriedly broke into the tent and thwarted his intentions. The maid was frightened, and she let out a low voice and turned to straighten her messy clothes and belt. The messenger's dissatisfaction turned into anger, and the wine cup in his hand flew towards the rash intruder, smashing his forehead into a bloody pit.
"Presumptuous——"
With his face covered in blood, the man knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
The messenger suppressed his anger: "Come on, what's the matter?"
"Daddy, the enemy soldiers are coming!"
The messenger stood up suddenly and pushed the maid down, causing the screen to fall to the ground with a few bangs. Without even looking at it, he raised his leg and kicked the table away, and said angrily: "These thieves don't know how to behave!"
Listening carefully, you can indeed hear shouts of killing in the distance.
"We have a high city and a deep pond. Why are we afraid of thieves?"
This godson is really an eyesore.
"To increase the ambition of others, destroy your own prestige!"
As the maid screamed again, the messenger's godson died and fell to the ground. Before he died, the disbelief he had when he was killed was still in his eyes. The maid cowered in a corner, fearing that she would be the next to die. Fortunately she escaped.
After a long time, the expected death did not come.
The maid gasped and put down her hands. When she raised her eyes, she saw that the dark tent was empty and the body lying on the ground was gradually getting colder.
She almost crawled over on her hands and knees.
He took off his coat and used it as a baggage, grabbed some expensive-looking jewelry, and picked up some scattered food from the ground as dry food for his escape. There was chaos outside the camp, the dark night sky flashed with lights of various colors from time to time, and faint shouts of death floated over the high wall and penetrated into her ears. The surrounding soldiers who were guarding the camp must have all gone to fend off the enemy. She ran all the way without meeting anyone. After a while, she blended into the group of civilians fleeing nearby, and was pushed forward by the crowd...
"Ah——"
The ground beneath my feet suddenly shook violently.
The maid was tripped by someone pushing from behind.
There were feet on all sides, and he was about to be trampled to death.
At the critical moment, there was a louder explosion and the sound of earth shaking and mountains shaking. The fleeing team that was still able to stand fell to the ground. The maid ignored her embarrassment and tried her best to push away the hands and feet that were pressing down on her, and tried to get closer to the corner.
Others were just running for their lives, trying to grab something to get up in a panic. The maid raised her foot and kicked several people. Their clothes were torn to pieces, and there were bloody marks from fingernails on the exposed skin. Just as she stood still, the air waves generated by the explosion blew her around, and debris flying from nowhere left bloody marks on her face.
She was breathless and almost desperate.
The eaves above her head finally couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed under another impact. By the time she found out, she could no longer escape.
"Help——"
Her voice was drowned out by more cries for help.
I don't know if I should say she was lucky, but the heavy wooden beam fell on her shoulder, and the tiles at this height couldn't hit anyone. After a period of dizziness, the explosion seemed to have stopped, and the loud noise seemed to have been turned down, and only vague movements could be heard.
There was no time to think about the reason, there was only one thought in my mind——
Escape and survive!
She climbed over the collapsed courtyard wall, trying to find another way to avoid the crowds, and was horrified to find that the moonlight above her head was suddenly swallowed up by something. When I looked up, I almost lost my mind. A huge boulder flew from the sky and was about to hit this area.
It’s over!
She waits desperately for the kiss of death.
You can already imagine the body being smashed into a bloody mess.
The moment the boulder was about to hit the ground, it turned into a "rain of sand and rocks" inexplicably.
The maid was drenched below.
The blood on her face mixed with the sand made her almost unable to open her eyes. She lay on the ground panting, shocked that she was still alive.
He endured the discomfort and opened his eyes, and vaguely saw something sharp flying across the sky, followed by an illusory figure that was almost standing tall on the ground and had its right hand chopped off by the sharp thing. The latter staggered back two steps, the light hit the figure's face, and he yelled.
"Go down!"
The face of the illusory figure was dented by the huge force.

Alas, the Coke spilled over and stained the aluminum keyboard that was in service, so I had to replace it.
Thinking about having to take it apart and clean it tomorrow gives me a headache.
PS: I’m used to the crackling sound and feel. I’m really not used to switching to a keyboard with a quiet sound. I always feel that the feel is too fleshy (I will never buy a keyboard from an aluminum factory again. The performance of the Rose Date keyboard co-branded by Little Prince can’t keep up. It’s a cheap piece of aluminum from a small factory. I bought this keyboard in April last year and took it apart twice. After using it today, I finally remembered why I didn’t use it. )
