Chapter 8: Victims


In the night, two reckless officials with deep faces sat across the table.

The sound of horses' hooves rushed through the alley outside the house, causing the tea on the table of the two to splash from the cups.

"The third time it took more than ten stops, and the cavalry passed three columns."

One of the officials was really a little uncontrollable in the sound of horses' hooves, and whispered angrily: "The emperor's implementation of curfew and iron cavalry patrols is simply a faint trick Originally, not many people knew that Zhantai Qiantang appeared, so no one in the Damang King City knew that those assassinations were related to Zhantai Qiantang, and who else didn't know that Zhantai Qiantang was back."

"It's a stupid trick, of course."

Another official smiled bitterly, "But the one in the imperial city is probably already scared, what's so strange about such a stupid trick We are just small people, don't worry about a sword falling on our necks at any time, but those people above don't know when a sword will suddenly fall." ” The angry official fell silent, and after a moment he whispered, "Maybe the emperor made the right choice. ” The official opposite him, whose face was originally peaceful, but there was some unspeakable wry smile, suddenly turned white, and said in a deep voice: "Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have." ” "You don't have to worry."

The previously angry official shook his head and said, "You are right, we are just small people, I said that the emperor's choice was right, it doesn't mean that I have any ideas, I just think that Zhantai Qiantang is indeed very capable." ” The thoughts of these two ordinary officials in the Great Mang King City may represent the thoughts of the vast majority of Great Mang officials.

Although Zhantai Qiantang was forced to escape from Damang, taking away 50,000 Damang troops under the Falling Star Mausoleum City and surviving well in Yunqin is enough to show his ability.

Although it is impossible to change the current situation of Damang, and there is no hope of organizing any mutiny, it is just that his appearance has made many people and many officials in Damang start to think.

Just as Vice President Xia realized early on, this is indeed a new era that is the same as the first ten years of the founding of Yun Qin.

Emperor Yunqin completely abandoned Qingluan Academy and sent troops to ascend to the Heavenly Mountain Range.

Li Ku and the Purgatory Mountain Sect are enemies.

Zhantai Qiantang is also making enemies of Purgatory Mountain.

All these things have invisibly changed the thinking of reckless officials.

The weakness of the new emperor made the vast majority of officials feel that the shadow of Purgatory Mountain was becoming more and more obvious.

Although they knew that the real master of Da Mang was always Purgatory Mountain, why did they rarely feel the existence of the shadow of Purgatory Mountain when the old emperor and Li Ku were still there Because the old emperor and Li Ku are relatively strong.

This is the easiest answer to come up with.

Why can being strong make Infernal Mountain make concessions, and even be unable to interfere in some things Because Purgatory Mountain is always just a place of cultivation, even if the reckless army can't destroy Purgatory Mountain, it can still cause Purgatory Mountain to suffer unimaginable heavy damage.

Many officials will further come up with such an answer in their hearts.

Many Da Mang people began to suddenly feel that everything that the old emperor and Li Ku had done was always just fighting against Purgatory Mountain.

Even if it only left Zhantai Qiantang, this is also the most dangerous seed for Purgatory Mountain in Damang.

Those Great Elders of the Purgatory Mountain Sect and the Purgatory Mountain are probably the people who have lived the longest in the entire Great Mang, and they are also the ones who have fought openly and secretly with all kinds of powerhouses in the world, so it is naturally impossible for them not to feel the changes of this era.

Therefore, the Purgatory Mountain Sect needs more powerful strength and needs to establish stronger awe.

When an ordinary official in a certain street and alley of Damang Wangcheng was made anxious and angry by the sound of horse's hooves coming and going, in the distant Yunqin, in Fengjindu in Heluo Province, a mausoleum formed by the crossing of a large river, Xu Zhenyan's henchman Wang Ling was also angry.

He looked at the plate of pickles, a plate of rotten rice and a jar of porridge in front of him, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Chu Zi is shocked that these people are so ignorant that they dare to treat you with such an attitude, do you know how to put these people in prison first?"

After Di Choufei's death, Xu Zhenyan has become a younger and more powerful minister in Zhongzhou City than Di Choufei before.

When a powerful minister like him goes to the local government on official business, and the local officials entertain him with porridge and pickles, this is no longer slackness, but a naked humiliation.

Xu Zhenyan and his entourage didn't know that this kind of ridicule and humiliation attitude of these local officials towards him came from his previous enemies with Lin Xi, or because of his relationship with his father, or because of some of the things he did in the prison, but whatever the reason, he should be angry in the face of the actions of these local officials, with his current power.

It's just that Xu Zhenyan didn't have any angry expression.

He just shook his head coldly at Wang Ling, and then began to hold a coarse porcelain bowl in front of him and began to drink porridge.

Wang Ling's anger froze on his face, and he couldn't understand Xu Zhenyan's attitude.

Xu Zhenyan began to drink porridge, and after drinking a bowl of porridge, he looked at Wang Ling and said flatly: "Think about why Di Choufei died, think about why we are still alive."

This kind of clear stream is all the smelly and hard stones in the thatched houses, and for the sake of a person who thinks it is reasonable, can use his brain to hit the pillar. ” "Such a person never dies.

The more serious you are about people like them, the more serious you are about them. ” "You have to understand that people like us, if you want to live well, it is not to make people feel how strong you are and how strong you are, but to make people feel that you are like a dog and can treat you however you want."

Xu Zhenyan watched his mouth gradually open, a little stunned and Wang Ling, who understood what he meant, said: "The official rank is constantly going up, and the real power is also going up, so why fight for these idleness?"

Wang Ling's mouth gradually closed, and he also began to serve porridge.

He thought that Xu Zhenyan was right, no matter how bad the attitude of Qingliu in these places was, at most they would only let them drink porridge, and if they dealt with Qingliu in these places, maybe someone would let them drink poison.

Previously, he always thought that Xu Zhenyan could be on the throne because Xu Zhenyan was ruthless enough, but at this moment, he completely understood that Xu Zhenyan was able to take the position, in addition to being ruthless, because he was more able to endure than anyone else.

Early morning.

A young man with an excessively pale face wakes up in the courtyard of a small town in the middle of the day.

When the young priest of Purgatory Mountain, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, opened his eyes, not only did he not feel any nervousness, but on the contrary, his eyes were full of excitement and anticipation when he looked at this strange room and the unfamiliar courtyard outside the window.

He didn't know that he had become a fugitive from Purgatory Mountain.

He only knew that he was doing things for the Great Elder of Purgatory Mountain.

Usually in Purgatory Mountain, a character like him, even if he just falls into the eyes of the Great Elder of Purgatory Mountain, who is the most unstable and weakest, often means a bright future.

He looked forward to his future in Purgatory Mountain, and then got up to wash.

Then, after eating some dry food, he patted the tin box with the meat on his chest, and waited in the courtyard.

As time passed, the young priest naturally became bored, and he did not dare to disobey the order to leave the compound, so he became curious about the courtyard, which was littered with dust and had apparently been uninhabited for a long time.

He walked from the front yard where he was resting to the backyard where the miscellaneous items were kept.

After looking through some furnishings and miscellaneous items in boredom, he wandered to the front yard again, and it was almost noon, and he was ready to eat boringly, but suddenly he felt something strange in some places, and then he walked through every room in the backyard, and then he stopped in surprise in a firewood room neatly stacked with dry firewood.

Because he found that for some unknown reason, this firewood room was inexplicably much colder than all the other rooms.

At this moment, there was a creak, and the wooden door of this courtyard was suddenly pushed open.

An elderly Purgatory Mountain priest walked through the door.

On the chest and back of the bright red divine robe on his body, there were large black sè flame runes.

On the bright red sè crown he carried, there were also black sè flame runes.

The young Purgatory Mountain Priest dressed in ordinary clothes was a little confused, and at this moment, he saw eight red-robed Purgatory Mountain Priests divided into two columns and followed the elderly Purgatory Mountain Priest in.

The young Purgatory Mountain priest was terrified.

Because although he didn't know what task the Great Elder had assigned to him, he knew that the divine robe on the front old priest represented the Elder of Purgatory Mountain, and the rest of the red-robed priests were also apostles who were qualified to have the Red Sè Flame Rune Mark.

He bent down and subconsciously saluted.

"Kid, it's not good for you to steal something, but you want to steal our Purgatory Mountain's magic transformation medicine crystal."

However, at this time, he heard the kind-faced elderly Purgatory Mountain priest sigh, "Our Purgatory Mountain's magic transformation medicine crystal, can we steal it if you want to?"

The young Purgatory Mountain priest's body froze.

His brain was a little blank, and a surging chill kept pouring out of his heart.

The old priest looked at the frozen young Purgatory Mountain priest lightly, and walked forward slowly, the divine robe on his body dragging on the ground, making a rustling sound.

Eight red-robed apostles crossed over from either side of him, approaching the young Purgatory Mountain priest even faster.

"I didn't steal any magic potion crystals" "I only came here on orders from the Great Elder."

The young Purgatory Mountain priest raised his head, and he pleaded in a hissing voice, his face was extremely snow-white, and cold sweat slipped down like earthworms.

The old priest's brow furrowed deeply.

The eight red-robed apostles also paused slightly.

"Which Grand Elder's order?"

the old priest asked.

At the same time, he bowed slightly to the eight red-robed apostles.

A stream of red light appeared from the sleeves of the eight red-robed apostles at the same time, and eight senleng chains that shone with red light, like eight red snakes, shuffled out at the same time, piercing into the body of the young Purgatory Mountain Priest.

The young Purgatory Mountain priest screamed as his hands, feet, chest and abdomen were all pierced.

However, he still shouted desperately, "It's Elder Zhang of the Demon Light Cave." ” "It's Him" The old priest's brow furrowed even tighter, his eyes flickered violently, and many doubts appeared in his mind in an instant, but at this moment, he felt a dangerous aura.

His eyes narrowed quickly, and he turned.

Lin Xi's figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

In the sunlight of the Great Mangchun Sky, he looked at the elderly priest and those purgatory mountain red-robed apostles and smiled, "Morning, everyone, hello everyone. ”:
