The devil is coming

Chapter 902
Brother Ke Yandong knelt down first, and he knelt so firmly that the blue bricks in the back garden of the old Hou Mansion were cracked by his knees.
He had long wanted to kneel;
The former young master of the Keyan tribe is now a serious patriarch. The desert wind and sand have washed away the innocence and romance in him very early;
The long migration was nominally regarded as the "dowry" of the barbarian royal court, but in fact it was the loser who was sent out to fight in the desert and had to stay away from his homeland. It can be said that from the moment he came to Snow Customs, it marked his and his tribe have reached rock bottom.
Oh no,
Before that, when the tribe moved to Xiangxue Customs and passed through Fengxin City, his father and the clan elders were all detained by King Jingnan.
At that time, he was confused and fragile. Ke Yanbu's totem was like a rootless duckweed under a heavy rain, and it was likely to scatter like this.
And at the lowest point, it often means that the situation cannot get any worse. There is no way down and we can only go up.
Being able to achieve the position of Snow Customs Commander,
Although he had his status as a barbarian, under the rule of the early royal family, it was actually a reverse political correctness;
Snow Customs in the north, Zhennanguan in the south,
One is him, the other is Jin Shuke,
They are all of barbarian origin;
This,
It was the foundation of the royal family’s early life!
It was the prince's power to establish a vassal in Jindong to threaten the imperial court. At that time, if Yan generals or Jin generals were really stationed at these two important passes, the blind man would not feel at ease, and the prince would not be safe when he slept.
But putting aside the factors of the turmoil, there is no doubt about Ke Yandong's own ability.
His several expeditions, his ability to lead troops in combat and dispatch are the best examples.
In fact, when his subordinates reported that the prince had entered the Snow Customs, he realized that something was wrong.
He is not stupid, he is not stupid at all;
But people’s smartness and unsmartness are never absolute. Smart people are just smarter more often, or their excellence is highlighted in certain things, but this does not mean that they can be the best in everything. ;
Most of the time,
People will habitually numb themselves and not take it seriously. When they suddenly get a shock, they immediately panic. Then they realize that the things they have done before are once the paper is really torn open and falls in front of the prince. , especially what it will mean when you need to face the prince.
In front of the gate of Lao Hou Mansion, Brother Ke Yandong actually wanted to kneel there.
But, as luck would have it, he happened to be patrolling outside the city today. When others arrived, a large group of civil and military officials from Xue Customs were already standing at the door.
The big guy is standing there, obviously, waiting for you.
If you are the first to arrive, or in other words, you are one of the first to arrive, and you kneel there openly, who of the big guys coming behind would have the nerve to stand?
In this way, everyone knelt down together. Although it was unclear, they should kneel down.
What is this called?
The law does not blame everyone!
But now, everyone is obviously waiting for you to go in together. You are the last one to come and kneel down again. Everyone knows what is going on. The reason why the law does not punish everyone is that everyone is a little confused. Once there is a chance, you can draw a line. Clear boundaries, who wants to be with you in public?
Therefore, Brother Ke Yandong cannot kneel at the gate of the Hou Mansion. Kneeling is to confess his sins openly and openly. He must do everything in the right way and make decisions for himself from the bright side;
This is a great loss, because although he, Brother Ke Yandong, is not the earliest direct descendant who followed the prince, compared with those who came after him, and the members of Ke Yan's tribe he brought to join at the most critical moment, in fact, he is still half He is an old man in the palace.
Isn’t it foolish to still foolishly take the “righteous path” to judge crimes despite having the kindness of an old man?
but,
Brother Ke Yandong, who had this little thought in mind, felt a thump in his heart when he saw Tiantian and Chuanye reciting excerpts and classifying them...
There is an old saying in Zhu Xia: If you don’t see the coffin, you won’t shed tears;
Brother Ke Yandong finally understood the profound meaning of this sentence;
Only when facing the prince's power,
Only then can you truly recall what kind of person your prince is.
Myself,
Still thinking about luck, actually thinking about favors?
If the capital city is defeated, even if the Qianchu alliance has not collapsed, it will not be able to go north and take the initiative to start a war with Yan. Under this situation, the structure of Dayan and the structure of Jindong will be extremely stable.
In other words, the prince can take his hand out at will to solve some problems that were inconvenient to solve before.
And when Brother Ke Yandong saw the prince himself standing in front,
Commander-in-Chief Snow Customs, whose heart has been turned over a thousand times,
When I heard the prince's words "give up my seat",
mind,
It collapsed immediately.
In the past, I was in awe of the prince. No matter what, the prince was his own prince. The prince led everyone to fight wars, get promoted and gain wealth, and seize territory;
But when he really came face to face with the prince, the veil of "one's own side" was torn away.
fear,
It filled my whole heart at once.
After Brother Ke Yandong knelt down,
All the civil and military personnel in the rear immediately knelt down:
"I (the last general) pays homage to the prince. Your prince is blessed!"
"Everyone, get up." The prince said.
"Thank you, Lord."
Everyone got up.
Only Brother Ke Yandong was still kneeling there.
Under such circumstances, how could Brother Ke Yandong be so naive as to follow the crowd and stand up?
But in the crowd, there were seven or eight generals in armor, barbarian warriors ranging from generals to guerrilla generals. After following the crowd and standing up, they saw Brother Ke Yandong still kneeling. These seven or eight people silently said Kneel down again.
"hiss……"
"hiss……"
All the civil servants present took a deep breath, and Magistrate Wen was stunned.
Although the Yan people have always believed that the barbarians are the incarnation of barbarians and a kind of wild beasts, in fact, the barbarians are not unintelligent. There are always many outstanding barbarians. In the land of Eastern Jin, there are several barbarian generals who are highly valued by the prince.
But the problem is, under the overall rough habits, there are some rules and some taboos that they really don't understand, which is the so-called... straightforward mind.
The reason why the rest of the people present were so surprised was that it was almost obvious that the prince was going to kill the commander-in-chief;
The Commander-in-Chief himself also knelt down, waiting to be dealt with;
Good guy,
You guys stood up and knelt down again. What does this mean?
Gathering?
Demonstration?
Coercing the prince?
Magistrate Wen's "dumbness" is different from others. He was originally happy to see the prince's defeat of Ke Yandong. This Daqiu Ba completely adhered to the prince's habit in Xuehaiguan. He said he was in charge of the army, but in fact he was in charge of his own yamen. He also often intervened in affairs in an extremely arrogant manner;
He also made frequent reports to the palace;
This guy really doesn't know how to restrain himself. Now he's fine. The prince has come to look for him. He should have been looking forward to good days coming;
But if this guy behaves too directly and rigidly,
Do not,
If you are too stupid...
Doesn't it mean that the prefect, who can't even check and balance this kind of partner and is suppressed everywhere, is even more useless?
Brother Ke Yandong also heard the movement behind him,
Turn your face slightly,
turn back,
Looking at the eight generals kneeling behind him, it was clear that they were all barbarians.
Brother Ke Yandong: "I..."
this moment,
Brother Ke Yandong wanted to jump up and slash at these idiots with a knife. Was it because he thought I couldn't die quickly enough?
"Ha ha ha ha."
At this time,
The prince's laughter came.
Brother Ke Yandong immediately lowered his head again, facing down, and said sincerely:
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me, I will be punished willingly!"
No matter what, let's get down first.
immediately,
Something worse is coming,
The barbarian generals behind them said in unison with great loyalty, based on the idea of ​​sharing happiness and suffering together:
"We are willing to be punished for Lord Commander-in-Chief!"
"..." Brother Ke Yandong.
Now,
The other civil and military personnel in the Snow Customs around them all subconsciously distanced themselves from these barbarians who were still kneeling on the ground.
This damn guy has formed a group and is going to the fire pit. Hurry up and stay away, so you don’t burn yourself.
"Okay, okay, let's get back together. Brother Dong, you have done a good job. It is worthy of my trust in you. The Snow Customs is in your hands, and it will be impregnable and foolproof."
"Wang... lord..."
"Come, get up."
Brother Ke Yandong didn't get up, but looked at the prince desperately and innocently.
"stand up!"
Brother Ke Yandong stood up immediately. He stood up so fast that he almost fell down, but he still managed to hold on.
"come over."
Brother Ke Yandong walked obediently and staggered toward the prince.
"Stand here."
Brother Ke Yandong stood in front of the prince.
The prince came from behind and pulled the chair over, behind his brother Ke Yandong.
"sit."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. I am guilty, but I have never done this before..."
"I tell you to sit down, sit down!"
Brother Ke Yandong trembled and sat down.
Rather than saying he was sitting, it was better to say that he was squatting. His body was lowered, but his butt didn't even touch the surface of the chair.
A pair of hands from the prince pressed on Brother Ke Yandong's shoulders.
then,
Apply gentle downward pressure.
Brother Ke Yandong didn't dare to fight against the prince, so he had to really sit down.
"This is right, this is right."
The prince stood behind Brother Keyandong, smiling;
And Brother Ke Yandong, the commander-in-chief of the Snow Customs, has seen the sand of the desert, eaten the snow battle formations of the snow fields, and charged at countless barbarian men, but at this moment, his nose was filled with tears, and he looked like, Extremely funny.
But no one present was in the mood to laugh at the Commander-in-Chief's demeanor at this time.
The prince looks warmer and warmer,
The gloom in everyone's heart is getting heavier and heavier.
"Come, everyone, come and pay homage to our new prince together!"
said,
The prince stepped out from behind the chair,
He patted the cuffs of the python robe lightly with his hand, making a gesture of kneeling down.
"Snapped!"
Brother Ke Yandong saw this,
one step ahead,
Just fell off the chair,
The whole person was face down and hit the ground hard. At this time, he really collapsed and shouted:
"Your Highness, this slave is wrong. He is wrong. He has betrayed his trust. He is a beast. He deserves to die. Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Your slave is wrong. Your Majesty!!!"
Brother Ke Yandong understands,
Your Majesty, I really want to kneel down.
It was not just the fear in his heart that the prince was in such a posture;
The greatest terror comes from,
As long as the prince really kneels down,
That is equivalent to the dust covering the prince's body, and in order to wash away this little bit of dust, next, all the generals from the Keyan tribe will be purged;
Keyanbu will cease to exist!
His wives, his children,
his people,
These ones,
All will be erased.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it, Your Majesty!"
Magistrate Wen immediately knelt down and shouted:
"My lord, it's my sin, my lord's sin, please spare me your life!"
"I am guilty, please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Everyone, they all knelt down and hit their foreheads against the blue brick ground. No one dared to lie.
This is no longer just a matter for Brother Ke Yandong, in fact, it has involved the entire Xue Customs system.
The prince's movements stopped.
He silently walked to the back, pulled the chair over, and sat on it himself.
Brother Ke Yandong, who was lying prostrate on the ground, turned around while rubbing on the ground, and put his head against the edge of the prince's boots.
Zheng Fan raised his feet,
Brother Ke Yandong took the initiative to crawl forward a little.
When the prince’s feet fall,
The sole of the boot fell right on Brother Ke Yandong's head.
This is the custom of the barbarians. The weak shows that he has given everything to the strong, including his self-respect.
The afternoon wind,
The breeze blows at this frontier fortress, and also into the somewhat desolate back garden of the old prince's mansion. It blows at the clothes and hair of everyone here. Everything is obviously moving, but it seems to be frozen.
……
"Isn't he afraid?"
In the distance, in the flower garden, the sword maid looked at the scene there and asked the master standing beside her curiously.
At this time,
Tiantian and Ji Chuanye had already sat here holding Zhezi in their arms.
The two children are also a little tired. With such a heavy discount, it is okay every day, but the inheritance is really too much.
However, Chuanye is still very strong in some aspects, especially when he sat down panting with the fold in his arms, and this beautiful elder sister cast such a disdainful look at him;
My weak self-esteem was lightly pricked, so I spoke first;
"My godfather doesn't need to be afraid at all, what is he afraid of?
Is my sister worried that the commander-in-chief named Brother Ke Yandong will directly lead his troops to surround the old prince's mansion?
elder sister,
This is Jindong,
This is the godfather’s fiefdom;
When the godfather rode across the Wangjiang River, a royal order could summon the entire army of Jin to gather around him, so how could he stumble in his own fiefdom facing the direct soldiers and horses under his command?
Not to mention that this time, the godfather did not mobilize other troops to approach the Snow Customs. He did not even mobilize the godfather's royal guards into the city, because the godfather knew very well that this snow customs was the customs of the godfather, and the soldiers here Horses are his soldiers.
Barbarians are ruthless. Grandpa Huang once told me that the tenacity of barbarians is not inferior to that of the old Yan people;
But he also has to dare,
Whenever he dares to mobilize troops and horses,
As long as the godfather appears in front of those soldiers and horses,
Wave,
These soldiers will defect soon!
Moreover,
The items brought by Brother Tiantian and I had been collected and taken on the road long ago, and the caravan reception when entering the city was also arranged, which proves that everything in the city has already been taken care of.
It can be said,
When the godfather returned to this old prince's mansion,
The Snow Customs and the soldiers and civilians here were back under his control.
Hey,
This barbarian really dares to draw a knife and play with it.
Don't say that there are no soldiers and horses following him,
Even the seven or eight fools behind him who had knelt down before were afraid that they would not follow him. "
The sword maid turned her head, glanced at Ji Chuanye, and said:
"You talk a lot."
Ji Chuanye said unconvinced: "Because I have been thinking about what would happen if I encountered the same situation."
"What will happen?" Sword Maid asked, "You are the prince."
Ji Chuanye narrowed his eyes.
Looking at the sword maid with a childlike smile,
road;
"Sister, you are sowing discord."
The sword maid blushed, partly because her thoughts had been read, and partly because she felt ashamed that her brain was being compared to that of this stupid kid.
Ji Chuanye continued:
"Don't talk about me, the prince. Even my father is here. If this barbarian commits a crime, I'm afraid even my father will be beheaded."
The sword maid was a little surprised and said, "Is that what you say about yourself?"
"Hey, my father once said that the so-called Tianjia is only when others take you seriously. It's useless to take yourself seriously."
"Then your Tianjia is really inferior compared to the Wangfu."
"Sister, you are not sowing discord, you are forcing things."
said,
Ji Chuanye reached out and hugged Tiantian's arm.
Road:
"Father has his brother."
then,
Chuanye said again:
"I have my brother."
Grinning every day,
He reached out and touched his brother's head.
comforted:
"Good brother."
...
The wind in the back garden shows no sign of stopping;
Everyone is worried in their hearts. They don't know how today's scene will end. Of course, everything depends on the wishes of the man in the white python robe sitting there.
"Brother Dong."
The prince spoke.
"The bitch slave is here..."
Brother Ke Yandong's head was still under Zheng Fan's boots.
"It's my fault. It's my fault that I left you here too early. It's my neglect of discipline that caused your heart to grow wild."
"No... it's the slave who has deceived his heart. It's the slave who has deceived his heart. He has failed to meet the prince's expectations. It's the slave's fault. It's the slave's fault..."
in fact,
There is something Zheng Fan didn't say,
Brother Ke Yandong didn't say anything either.
That was Brother Ke Yandong, who was just imitating Zheng Fan when he was at the Snow Customs. In fact, what he did was not even tenth of the more outrageous than Zheng Fan back then.
But the problem is,
At that time, the person above Zheng Fan was the King of Jingnan;
And above Brother Ke Yandong is Zheng Fan himself.
There are some things that you can do but others cannot.
"I am worried that your tail will be too big to fall off."
All the civil and military personnel present at Xueguan Customs were stunned for a moment when they heard this.
This,
Such words,
Can you put it so bluntly?
Don’t you even want to deal with it, deal with it, or make excuses?
"My lord..."
Brother Ke Yandong was so moved that he choked up when he heard this. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"The street at the gate of the Prince's Palace in Fengxin City has always been dirty, and the people who clean it don't do their best. I plan to replace the street with someone else to clean it. In this pass, you choose a group of people you can trust and follow me back to Fengxin City. Sweep the floor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations this time!"
Zheng Fan raised his feet,
But Brother Ke Yandong immediately reached out and grabbed the prince's boots:
"Please, Your Majesty, please step on me for a while longer, step on me for a while longer, please give me peace of mind... I will give you peace of mind."
