Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 786 Look, this is what happens when you anger me

"Um……"

Huang Baozhuang nodded obediently.

First, she really had nowhere to go at this point. Second, Lin Qing was her savior and she should repay him. Third, she was very afraid that Luoyang would make a comeback and she felt safe only by staying with him. Fourth, although she was gentle and always submissive, she wanted revenge in this matter because the days when her consciousness was trapped in a world with nothing were more painful than being killed with a knife, and only this devil who was an enemy of the Northern and Southern courts had the strength to help her.

"Then get in the car."

Chu Pingsheng pointed to the nearest carriage. Zhao Fengya was lifting the curtain of the carriage and looking at her curiously.

Huang Baozhuang walked forward obediently, but because she had been restrained for too long, her consciousness had just returned to her body and she was inevitably weak. After taking two steps, her legs went soft and she fell to the right.

Chu Pingsheng let go of Xuanyuan Qingfeng's hand, went over to hold him in his arms, jumped lightly onto the shaft of the carriage, and entered the carriage.

"Lin Qing..."

Xuanyuan Qingfeng clenched the hand he had just held, and a hint of hatred appeared at the corner of his lips, which made Green Ant burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing laughing?"

The green ant saw through the trick but didn't expose it. He turned around and got on the second carriage.

At this time, Chu Pingsheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved at her: "Would you like to get in?"

"Who wants to ride in a carriage with you!"

She climbed onto her horse angrily and followed behind with a dark face.

one two Three……

With three carriages, his team grew larger.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked at the new demon monk who was hiding in the bushes, raised his hand that he had just held, and felt conflicted, not knowing whether he should still hate him.

You have to know that when he was angry with Xuanyuan Jingcheng, he swore to the sky that if there was a chance, he would take charge of the Xuanyuan family even at any cost, and would never be like his cowardly father.

On the way to Dongyue Sword Pool, Lin Qing said that as long as she was willing, he could help her take the position at any time. She was skeptical at first, but now she understood that as long as he ordered Chu Bihuan to help her take power, the position of the head of the Xuanyuan family would be within her grasp.

……

After leaving Dongyue Road, Chu Pingsheng did not go north, but headed west to Shangyin Academy to settle accounts with Zhang Fuyao, but to his surprise, when he arrived at the destination, he found that the guy who had lived in seclusion in the academy for 800 years was not in Yuzhou. He went to ask Qi Longyang, the chief priest of the academy and the current imperial teacher, about Zhang Fuyao's whereabouts, but Qi Longyang pointed at his nose and scolded him.

Chu Pingsheng liked scholars very much, but only those who were obsessed with poetry, songs and beautiful articles. He hated those idiots who read Confucian classics like holy books. Originally, his target was Zhang Fuyao, and he didn't want to expand the scope of attack for the time being. Qi Longyang thought he was full of righteousness, and the result of his righteous scolding was that he and the three priests all died overnight, and their bodies were hung in the Haoran Tower of the academy.

Also overnight, all the students and teachers who had not escaped early in the three academies that taught Legalism, Diplomacy, and Confucianism were slaughtered completely. Thousands of so-called scholars were dyed with blood in the Guangling River, and the river water did not clear up overnight.

In such a large academy, only students from the academies that had nothing to do with politics, such as Yin and Yang, Music, and Agriculture, survived. But it was not enough, as he wiped out all the noble families in Yuzhou and killed 10,000 soldiers and officials of Bingzhou Prefecture before continuing northward with his women relatives.

So many people died just because of Qi Longyang's few harsh words.

Everyone in the world who heard this was terrified.

Although it was rumored that the Demon Monk was a corpse puppet created by Lin Qing, and that he had massacred children of noble families and Confucian scholars in Dahuang City, there was no clear evidence to show that Lin Qing directly ordered the corpse puppet to do so. However, what happened in Yuzhou fully illustrated his position.

He would kill all the children of aristocratic families and Confucianists without leaving any alive. As for the soldiers of the imperial court, he would not punish them if they fled or avoided fighting, but if they dared to take up swords and guns to fight for the aristocratic families, officials, and royal families, he would not have the patience to reason with them or persuade them to surrender. He would just kill them with one word.

In the following days, scholars and children of noble families all felt insecure, and the morale of the army was in turmoil.

……

Beigu City.

Two hundred miles northeast of Beigu City is Dantong Pass. After passing Dantong Pass is a large plain leading to Tai'an City. In other words, if an enemy launches an offensive from Beigu City, then Dantong Pass will be the last natural barrier of Tai'an City. As long as Dantong Pass is breached, Tai'an City will no longer have any natural defenses to defend.

Of course, this is the case when a large army is attacking the city. For a peerless master like Lin Qing who is charging into the battle with a group of family members, the existence of Dantong Pass does not matter much.

However, even so, after hearing that he had arrived at Beigu City from Shangyin Academy, the Liyang side, especially the army, was ready to face a formidable enemy. General Gu Jiantang died at the hands of the groom Lao Xu, and Xu Xiao was suspected by Zhao Chun. The court was racking its brains over who would lead the troops to defend Tai'an City. Finally, Zhao Chun made the decision to use two veteran generals, Yang Shenxing and Lu Shengxiang, to lead the imperial guards, and at the same time ordered Zhao Ying, the King of Huainan, and Zhao Sui, the King of Jiaodong, from among the five Zhao vassal kings, to lead troops to defend the king.

What Lin Qing did in Yuzhou has made his attitude clear. The rent-seeking group of the entire Liyang Dynasty knows that there is no turning back. This kid is not like Xu Xiao during the Spring and Autumn War. Xu Xiao killed nobles from Western Chu, Western Shu and other countries who were enemies of Liyang, but Lin Qing... what he wants is the death of all the nobles, officials, Confucian scholars and children of aristocratic families in this world.

So when Zhao Chun issued the imperial edict, Zhao Sui and Zhao Ying, without any hesitation, took all their elite troops and rushed to Tai'an.

To some extent, Lin Qing's actions made the court officials, who were originally scheming against each other, united in hatred and became one. From the perspective of military strategy, this was unwise, but... judging from Lin Qing's performance, what he liked to do most was to turn the tables when the enemy thought they had won.

In short, there was a lot of discussion about this matter among the people and the court, except for the people in Beigu City, because the people in the city were busy fleeing outside.

The first group to flee were officials, Confucian scholars and children of aristocratic families, and the second group were civilians. This was because the Xuanhu Gang in Beigu City took advantage of the chaos to loot the mansions of officials and aristocratic families in Beigu City. As a result, that night the entire family of the Xuanhu Gang, from the gang leader to the minions, was killed cleanly by the violent Bai Yuan and Lao Xu. They also learned from their master's operation in Yangchun City and built a Jingguan at the south gate.

The people of Beigu City didn't know what the people from the Xuanhu Gang had done. They only knew that many people had died. They were not officials, scholars, or children of noble families. They thought Lin Qing was going to massacre the city, so naturally they ran for their lives.

Even though Beigu City was left with only an empty town, Green Ant didn't care, because the night they moved into the Risheng Inn, the owner, the waiter and the cook slipped away, and they lived a self-sufficient life for the past two days.

She, Xuanyuan Qingfeng and others also knew that Lin Qing killed so many people in Yinxue Palace and Yuzhou. Besides the fact that he disliked officials, children of aristocratic families and Confucian scholars all over the world, another reason was that he wanted to force Zhang Fuyao, the ancestor of Confucianism, to show up and stop being a coward. However, no one knew what the old man was thinking. He watched the Confucian scholars of Yuzhou being slaughtered and did not come forward to fight back.

"Huanggua, I heard that you punished Zhao Fengya again and didn't let her eat?"

"I've asked her to work these past two days, but she's either forgetful or absent-minded. Yesterday, she even knocked over the young master's chopsticks and wine glass. If I don't starve her to teach her a lesson, do I have to reward her?"

"The young master didn't say anything."

"My lord, you are just too soft-hearted."

Green Ant's eyes twitched back slightly, not understanding how she came to the conclusion that Lin Qing was too soft-hearted.

"Further north is Tai'an City. The young master said that he would end the Zhao family's rule in one battle. In other words, he is going to have a decisive battle with Zhao Chun. Zhao Fengya is Zhao Chun's daughter. It must be difficult for her to be caught in the middle. It is understandable that she has emotional and mental problems."

"Son..."

Huanggua was about to speak when he heard a cry in the air. Then, a beam of black light pierced down with a sharp sound, but was blocked by the gun blade that was swung upward outside the wall and reflected away.

"Who is it?" Green Ant shouted.

The two of them saw three more people in the yard.

"Xu Xiao?"

Green Ant and Cucumber looked again and again, making sure they were not mistaken. The lame man with a mustache and wearing purple brocade clothes in front was Xu Xiao, whom they had not seen for a long time. The middle-aged man in gray clothes holding a gun behind him was his groom Xu Yanbing. Xu Yanbing was carrying an unconscious man on his left shoulder, with his hair hanging down and covering his face, but judging from his body shape, he was most likely Xu Fengnian, the prince of Beiliang.

Whoosh, a whirlwind rose into the sky, supporting the flying eagle that swooped into the yard.

Huanggua used to be afraid of Xu Xiao, but now... Xu Xiao was nothing in her eyes. As long as the young master was around, even if the person standing in front of her was Queen Li Yang, Zhao Zhi, she would dare to slap him and call him a bitch.

"What are you doing here?"

"I come……"

Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes, suppressed his anger and prepared to answer. At this time, a faint voice came from the door leading to the front hall: "He is here to complete the transaction between me and Jiang Ni. Let him come over."

Cucumber and green ant stepped aside after hearing this.

Xu Xiao gave Xu Yanbing a wink, and the two of them walked into the front hall and saw Chu Pingsheng sitting in a chair drinking tea.

Sitting on the couch next to him was a very pretty woman in white, about 20 years old, who was massaging his legs. When the two men came in, she gave them a fierce sidelong look. Xu Xiao couldn't understand why she was hostile to him.

However, he knew why he hated the groom, Old Xu, who was standing next to the screen. Ever since the groom of the devil chopped off the swordsman Li Yufu, who was in the Fingering Realm, in Yangchun City, people in the martial arts world were talking about this man. They were curious about his identity and origin. When Old Xu defeated Gu Jiantang, masters and bigwigs from all sides paid more attention to him. The man was taken away from Beiliang by Lin Qing. After Li Yishan checked all parties, he sent a piece of news to the capital a few days ago. He then learned that Old Xu was a coolie in an oil mill. He hated the Xu family because of the fate of his son, daughter-in-law and grandson.

Chu Pingsheng said, "Xu Yanbing, is that Prince Beiliang on your shoulders?"

Xu Yanbing took the person off his shoulders, and it was indeed Xu Fengnian, the prince of Beiliang, but he had been knocked unconscious.
