Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"who?"

In the darkness, they heard silent thunder, and by the time the people in the camp outside the capital reacted, one third of the people had disappeared.

“A general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns in ten years.”

A cold voice was heard, but no one could tell from which direction the voice came. In the pitch-black night, the area illuminated by the torches was not large. A group of men who were fearless suddenly felt a deep fear of the silent night.

"Even back then, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry could not avoid dying on the battlefield. You should be thankful to be able to walk off the battlefield alive."

There was no fluctuation in the voice, but the coldness in it was enough to make even they feel a chill in their hearts.

"You are playing tricks on me, come out here!!"

The team leader who was in the lead drew out the long knife at his side, looked around and shouted.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the soldiers being heard. The squad leader smiled coldly.

"You shady bastard, you still want to scare me!!"

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard someone next to him shouting.

"Wei Tou, be careful behind you!!"

The captain's heart suddenly shuddered, and he felt a chill on the back of his neck. He subconsciously wanted to roll over, but unfortunately, before he could take any action, a breeze with a hint of floral scent blew by, and he saw a headless corpse standing there. He thought the clothes looked familiar.

“This is not mine”

When the dust settled, a person dressed as a maid stood there. She gently put down her hand and looked at everyone else.

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. You have to do what you are doing in the army. There is no right or wrong, but more often than not, you will have to bear the consequences of your actions today!"

The other people looked at each other in shock and doubt. They had not expected that such a mysterious method just now came from the hands of a woman.

"It's a pussy!!"

“Don’t be careless!!”

Several people were on high alert. They agreed with what the visitor said. What they did today was just a small thing they had done during the years they had joined the army.

"You don't know right from wrong, and you don't know cause and effect. Your parents and relatives will be implicated. I don't know how sharp the young master's knife will be this time. It would be a pity if no one in Dakang dares to serve as a soldier in the future."

The faces of several people changed, but they did not put down the long swords in their hands. Things had come to this point and they actually had no choice.

If you join the rebellion, the whole nine clans will be killed. If you succeed, the rewards will be huge. You may not be granted titles of nobility or generalship, but that will be almost the same. Conversely, if you fail, the same will apply. All nine clans will be killed.

"In the battle in Jiangnan that year, the Salt Gang was completely wiped out, and the blood dyed the Guangling River red. Until now, no one in Jiangnan dares to call themselves the Salt Gang. Why do you think this is the case?"

Lu Yi looked at these soldiers who dared not move for the moment and began to put pressure on them slowly.

The eyes of these people flickered, and they had some guesses in their minds, but no one spoke out.

"By the way, you are in the capital, so you may not know about those people, but I can tell you." While keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully, Lu Yi began to talk about the past events.

"Because anyone who has anything to do with the Salt Gang is dead!!"

The tone remains unchanged, yet it makes people shudder.

"As you can imagine, old and young, male and female, even dogs were not spared. Jia Yucun, the prefect of Shuntian at the time, submitted a memorial to the court, but in the end no one dared to speak out. Do you know why?"

A corner of the court's dark curtain slowly opened, causing the people present to tightly grasp the torches in their hands. If what the maid said was true, then the matter of the Jiangnan Salt Gang might not be as simple as it was made public.

“Because those who opposed it also died.”

Lu Yi glanced at these people, calm and composed, as if she was stating a fact rather than making a threat.

"Killing millions of soldiers from Jiangnan, the sword on his waist is still bloody."

"That's why no one dares to make any move on the salt gang, even though the benefits are so great. No one wants to join the salt gang, and they regard it as a ferocious tiger. Do you think that when the situation settles down, the army will be the same? Even if the reward is a thousand gold, no one will be willing to go, and no one dares to go."

The people present had their eyes wide open in anger; they understood Lu Yi's threat.

"asshole!!"

At this moment, more than ten thunder bombs were thrown towards where Lu Yi was. They had only one thought in their minds at this moment, that was not to let the woman in front of them leave alive.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi's eyes flashed with something strange, and the corners of her mouth curled up, giving people a feeling of success.

Jia Hong had mentioned before that these people all had thunder bombs in their hands, and she couldn't fight them head-on. Those iron lumps were so powerful that they could take her life if she wasn't careful, so she had made plans when she showed up.

She was cautious about the thunder bomb. If these people didn't have this thing in their hands, it would be much easier for her.

That’s why the previous scene happened, luring the snake out of its hole.

"boom!!"

A violent explosion sounded again, and the stone lions in front of Duke Rong's Mansion were blown into pieces, but Lu Yi's figure was nowhere to be found. When the dust settled, Lu Yi was seen slowly retracting a soft sword as thin as a cicada's wing.

"You are a bunch of brainless idiots. Do you really think that I am just chatting with you because I have nothing to do?!"

Lu Yi shook her head, her figure flashed, and she disappeared into the night again.

Of course, some of what she said before was intentional, but the general situation was not much different from what she said. Now Jinling, Guangling, Jiangnan area, Huaerwo and the Salt Gang, which were places where filth and corruption were hidden, have been directly cleared out.

A two-pronged approach from both the black and white sides completely eliminated the possibility of recurrence.

She still remembered clearly what Jia Hong said: all the unrest in the world is profitable, and the root of all this is people. If there were no people, then these things would not happen, or would not exist.

This is also the most direct way for the Jinling branch to solve the problem. Although the process is criticized, the result is good. Killing until no one dares to do those things that harm the world and morality. Killing one person may not be able to deter those tyrants, but what about ten? A hundred? A thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand or a million?

In order to cut off the Salt Gang, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry massacred people in Jiangnan. The black and white forces who served the Marquis' Mansion secretly launched a secret cleanup. Once you were associated with these two words, there would be only one consequence. Even worse, a county magistrate died suddenly the next day for no apparent reason.
