The Emperor is Above

Chapter 247: A Really Evil God

I have to say this is a good idea.

It was already past noon and it would be dark in less than an hour.

However, there are still huge crowds of people entering and leaving the city. If we don’t find a way to speed up, we will have to wait until tomorrow to squeeze in.

Just as Qing Yi was pondering, Gongsun Wu also suggested quietly: "My Lord, I also think it would be better for us to parade and boast about our achievements all the way to the middle city."

"Oh? Why would Brother Gongsun think so?"

Qing Yi knew that Gongsun Wu had a calm and steady personality, and was not the kind of person who liked to be high-profile and vain, so he also suggested that there must be some considerations behind his actions.

Gongsun Wu explained solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have just heard that old man say that the court officials have set several levels for beheading for military merit, and the wilderness people are the lowest level, and thirty of them are equivalent to one Xianyu cavalryman.

This is because there are countless wild people in the countries of the Northern Wilderness, and there are countless wild people's settlements of all sizes in the wilderness. However, these wild people's settlements usually have thousands of people in the largest, hundreds of people in the smallest, or even dozens of people. Their strength is not strong, and can even be said to be weak.

Even ordinary nobles leading dozens of retainers and private armies could achieve great results, so wiping out ordinary wilderness tribesmen has never been considered an important military achievement by the government and the public.

Even though the wild folks in Jiming Lake had been harassing the capital area for hundreds of years, only the eastern part of the capital area close to Jiming Lake was more affected, and there would be no movement near the capital at all. Therefore, the officials in the court classified them the same as ordinary wild folks.

Now the ministers in the court may have known that the strength of the people in Jiming Lake is no longer what it used to be, but the people in the capital are still not aware of it and still hold the old concepts.

We must now let the people of the capital see clearly how powerful the tribes of Jiming Lake are, not to mention that the even stronger Black Wind Tribe and Ghost Witch Tribe have sent their warriors to help in the battle. "

Gongsun Wu's analysis made a lot of sense, and even Bao Bu Tong nodded slightly.

Qing Yi agreed even more and said, "Brother Gongsun's words make sense. In the past, although there were many people in Jiming Lake, they were scattered. Not only did they lack military organization, they also had very few armors and weapons, so they were never able to make any progress.

This year, the people of Daze formed an alliance with the support of the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Ghost Cult, and not only did they have complete armor and weapons, they also gathered into a large army, which was almost as powerful as half of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

In this case, let us let the people of the capital, the nobles and the ministers in the court see clearly how powerful the wild people of Jiming Lake, whom they look down upon, are. "

At this point, Qing Yi turned around and gave an order: "Show our military achievements as well. We should also parade them through the streets to boast of our achievements and strengthen our reputation."

"Okay master!"

Da Niu excitedly raised the banner of Qing Yi's vassal. On the flagpole that was five meters high, the banner fluttered in the cold wind, announcing the lord's identity and origin to the outside world.

Master Tu Gu smiled as he directed how to transform the vehicle. The huge sled only needed a slight modification to be equipped with four wheels, and with the help of the floating rune formation, there was no need to worry about the weight breaking the axle.

At the same time, Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao, Chai Yong and Mu Yi's private soldiers each pulled out wooden poles four or five meters long from several places on the floor of the carriage and fixed them in the reserved sockets of the carriage.

The bodies of many high-level totem warriors, which had long been processed and preserved, were hung on the wooden poles of the vehicle, just like the strips of salted fish and bacon hung in the homes of Chinese people before the Chinese New Year.

Hanging on the front vehicle were the bodies of the Ghost Witch Tribe's Wu Xiang and the Mandrill Beast Soul Warrior, while dozens of carriages at the back were filled with the heads of tens of thousands of wild folk.

Qing Yi had to be thankful that it was the cold winter season and the stench of the heads and corpses of the wild people was not strong, otherwise God knows how much panic and negative emotions it would cause.

Even so, the surrounding convoys and crowds continued to exclaim: "Oh my God, there are so many corpses of high-level totem warriors, there are at least hundreds of high-level totem warriors."

"The barbarians who can have hundreds of high-level totem warriors must be at least a large settlement like the Ghost Witch Tribe or the Black Wind Tribe. Which nephew of the noble family came to parade in the streets to brag about his achievements?"

"How can he be the nephew of a high-ranking official? Look carefully at the banner of that vassal. Wow, he is actually the vassal of Guqiu! How can a mere vassal of Guqiu gain so much?"

"Huh? Guqiu Shangshi vassal? I seem to have heard of this vassal title somewhere. Let me think about it." Then the voice said in a panic, "Isn't this the killing god who led dozens of private armies and hundreds of people to defend the fiefdom alone, and ended up defeating 50,000 wild people and beheading tens of thousands of people?" "My God, with such little strength, he beheaded tens of thousands of people. He is really an unparalleled fierce god, but I didn't expect him to be so capable of killing people!"

When someone finally recognized Qing Yi and announced his battle record, the surrounding convoys and crowds, whether they were nobles or ordinary people, had eyes filled with not only shock but also fear and panic.

High-level totem warriors can be considered masters whether in wild settlements or within the State of Xing. It is enough for ordinary doctors and vassals to claim credit for killing one.

The fifteen-year-old sergeant vassal in front of him killed hundreds of high-level totem warriors in one breath. Such a strong contrast was simply shocking.

Especially after someone recognized the totems of the witch and beast soul warriors in the first car, and recognized that half of the hundreds of high-level totem warriors were from the Black Wind Tribe and the Ghost Witch Tribe, the shock spread quickly in all directions.

Even the senior official Bao Bu Tong had a wry smile on his face. Killing five hundred spies in Yanjin City and forcing the Chongguo army to retreat seemed very impressive, but compared with Qing Yi's record, it was simply embarrassing for him.

Qing Yi, however, looked ahead with satisfaction. The vassal convoys and Chinese merchants were crowded on the big stone bridge. In panic, they finally managed to squeeze out a path.

He smiled and nodded to the stunned old man selling pancakes at the bridgehead and dozens of other Chinese vendors, then waved to Gongsun Wu and the others and laughed loudly, "Let's go, parade through the streets and boast about our achievements, and head to the central city."

······
The city gate of the capital has always been an important transportation route for merchants and people to enter and exit.

The south gate of the lower city not only has a thoroughfare connecting to the most prosperous southern cities, but is also close to the prosperous Xingshui Wharf, and the crowds there are even more numerous than at the other city gates.

Many convoys that parade and boast of their military achievements also like to show off their military exploits here. The convoys of noble ministers, the three divisions, the city guards, and even the Black Armor Cavalry all stay here.

In order to attract the attention of the people, all the caravans that boasted of their achievements displayed their various skills. There were sword dances with fish and dragons filling the sky with frost and snow, there were passionate battle songs with long spears, there were also breathtaking flying knife skills, and there were even noble lords from other cities outside the capital who brought a group of charming women to pose coquettishly.

So many wonderful performances, competing with each other for beauty and novelty, attracted countless people to watch, and made the originally wide city gate very crowded. However, the city guards who were responsible for maintaining order in the capital did not take any action to stop it in the past few days.

In the past few days, the City Guards themselves have been one of the main forces in the parade to boast about their achievements. At this time, the City Guards Captain Luqiu Mufeng was standing on his own float with a proud look in his eyes.

In order to show off the city guards' military exploits, Captain Qiu Yuan organized more than ten teams, and Luqiu Mufeng's team of twenty vehicles was one of them.

The vehicles were filled with the heads of the wild folks of Jiming Lake captured in several major battles during the autumn harvest season, as well as the corpses of more than a dozen cats, ghosts, gods, servants, and priests. These were considered decent military achievements.

However, for the martial arts-loving people of Xing State, who were accustomed to seeing many troops showing off their military exploits, and especially after witnessing the spectacular scene when Huo Yun Yaqing returned to the city, twenty carts of military heads had no appeal at all.

So the always shrewd Luqiu Mufeng specially selected fifty handsome, strong and young soldiers from the city guards and rehearsed a war dance with excellent visual effects.

Such a group of handsome young soldiers in distinctive clothes and armor instantly attracted a large number of Chinese girls to watch. Whenever they saw the exciting parts of the war dance, these girls would cheer loudly and in extra cooperation.

The gathering of a large group of lively girls would naturally attract the gathering of men and women from other countries. Therefore, among the dozens of boasting teams outside the South City Gate, Luqiu Mufeng's side had the largest number of onlookers, almost a thousand people, and the flow of people was still increasing.

When Luqiu Mufeng saw that the number of people was almost two or three thousand, he nodded to the two captains beside him. The three of them were dressed in bright armor and had put on powder, ready to go on stage as the finale.

But when the three of them came on stage with bright smiles, waves of increasingly loud cheers came from afar, attracting the Chinese people who were watching from all around.

Not only did a large number of Chinese people run towards the shouting, but even the group of Chinese girls who had just looked so admiring and adoring also left with their friends.

This almost made Luqiu Mufeng's nose crooked with anger. He said with anger in his eyes: "Which family has come up with a new trick to lure so many people away in one go."
