Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 114 True and false!

The snow wind howled, and the white robe shook.

There was a murderous atmosphere inside and outside the barracks.

Xia Houchun, who was sitting on the white horse, looked down at Chen Gao with cold eyes, and poured out words of accountability.

Although the words were light, they seemed to contain the fury of thunder.

"Since you know the crime, why did you commit the crime knowingly?"

Chen Gao pursed his thick lips tightly, and said in a deep voice: "It was the negligence of the humble post that caused this catastrophe just now, and please forgive me."

There was a rattling sound.

The white horse approached Chen Gao, and exhaled hot air on top of his head, like white smoke curling up.

The captain's armor shook all around, as if ready to move.

Chen Gao tilted his head and shouted sharply: "Presumptuous!"

There was a thunderous sound, and all the troops fell silent for a moment.

The arms of the surrounding soldiers holding their spears were piled up with snow, but they all waited solemnly.

As if once Xia Houchun had the intention to kill Chen Gao, they would assassinate the king and kill him.

Xia Houchun's eyes are indifferent, the "privatization" of the Dajing garrison is too serious, and the situation of the military town has a tendency to develop into a "vassal town".

Taikang may have noticed it, but he was too busy with party struggles to take care of the local area, which led to the collusion of the clan, landlords, and military towns, which almost became a trend of corruption.

If things go on like this, the central authority will not be able to extend to the localities, and Dajing's soldiers no longer belong to Dajing, but belong to the "generals".

And the separatist state of the feudal town also took root and sprouted from this.

Xia Houchun's eyes were deep. From the Guanzhong Forbidden Army to the Tongguan garrison, and then from the Tongguan garrison to the Zhaoyi Army in the Eastern Capital, the state of the "fan town" has already been fully revealed.

However, the reason why the situation in Qinzhou has become such a situation today is due to the indifference and negligence of the central government.

And if Dajing's confidant is still like this, how far will the frontier garrisons such as Youyan, Longyou, and Xihe rot?
Thinking about it carefully, Xia Houchun almost felt his scalp go numb.

And this is also one of the reasons why he has been reluctant to arrive at Youyan as soon as possible.

Although he bears the name of the crown prince, he lost his status as the crown prince due to "rebellion". In addition, Xiao Mei sits in Taikang and monopolizes the imperial power, so he is almost a puppet on the front line.

Therefore, on this trip to the north, Xia Houchun intended to use the title of 'Prince' to suppress the Dongyan army, which was tantamount to wishful thinking.

But it would be unrealistic for him to give up his control over the Dongyan Army.

After all, Yunxiao is about to go south, if there is no Dongyan army in Youyan, those thieves can drive straight in from Youzhou and invade Yanjing City.

If one counts Xuanzong's plan in Yanjing, and even the "inside and outside cooperation" with Yunxiao, more than ten prefectures in Yanyun will surely surrender to Yunxiao.

Therefore, Xia Houchun urgently needs military power.

He needs to firmly control the Dongyan army, and the major frontier armies are even more important.

Even including the local garrisons outside Xiaoshan, if you can control it, try your best to control it.

Although the Qinzhou army is small, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

"Let's get up for now." Xia Houchun's thoughts turned in his mind, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he said to Chen Gao.

Unexpectedly, Chen Gao bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask the prince to help save the people of Qinzhou."

Xia Houchun frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

Chen Gao pointed to the 'Military Adviser' and the three suppressed captains, and replied: "His Royal Highness, the reason why this crime will be committed this time is that Song Yanqing, the patriarch of the Song clan in Qinzhou City, coerced me lead to."

Xia Houchun's eyes turned cold, and he looked around, "Let all the soldiers return to their accounts first, so as not to get frostbite."

Chen Gao respectfully waved his hands to the surroundings: "Everyone back down!"

"promise!"

The kneeling soldiers all around bowed and returned to the tent in an orderly manner.

Xia Houchun glanced at Chen Gao, "What's going on?"

Chen Gao didn't dare to hide it, and quickly said: "Returning to Your Highness, Song Yanqing not only controlled the family members of the generals stationed in Qinzhou, but also planted hundreds of 'fire mines' in Qinzhou city. Hundreds of thousands of people will be buried in the flames in an instant."

"Earthfire Thunder?" Xia Houchun's face changed, and he said coldly, "Earthfire Thunder was developed by our Tiangong Institute, and it was specially used for the imperial guards in both capitals. How could it spread in Qinzhou?"

Earthfire mines, developed from iron, nitrate, fire rock, etc., are amazingly powerful, and they also depict the mystery of the mysterious pattern. Several earthfire mines can almost kill the masters of Taoism in the Qingdan realm.

If all the hundred pieces explode, even real people will suffer heavy injuries.

This is true for cultivators, let alone ordinary people.

Chen Gao looked guilty, "This item was originally borrowed from the Zhaoyi Army of the Eastern Capital by a humble official last year. Unexpectedly, it was robbed in the middle of the road, and its whereabouts were unknown. Later, I found out that the thief was Song Yanqing, but it was too late, and he had already taken this item away." Arranged all over the city."

He smiled miserably, "Then Song Yanqing used this to coerce me into Qinzhou General, so I have no choice but to obey."

A trace of astonishment flashed across the eyes of the three school captains, and they immediately came to their senses, and knelt down on the ground with a few plops.

I saw their faces full of remorse, weeping bitterly, and explained to themselves one after another:

"Yes, Your Highness, if it wasn't for Song Yanqing's coercion, we would not have betrayed the imperial court. It is true that the whole family is controlled by the Song family, and we have no choice but to obey."

Murong Yan, who was accompanying Xia Houchun, heard the 'earth fire thunder', his complexion changed slightly, and became paler under the attack of wind and rain.

She directly ignored the school captains begging for mercy, looked at Xia Houchun, and said solemnly: "Once hundreds of fire mines explode, we will not be spared, let alone the people of Qinzhou."

She woke up suddenly, "No, isn't Song Jing and the others very dangerous?"

Xia Houchun's eyes were deep and flickering.

He always felt that everything was too strange and weird.

All of this is too coincidental!
Since stepping into Qinzhou territory, it seems that all contradictions have come one after another.

In the beginning, Yan Jidao, the Grand Master of Qilin Pavilion and Duke of Lu, died of illness suddenly, but was blocked by Qinzhou, and the attitude of Qinshui Academy was even more puzzling, although he could feel the meaning of complaint from his words and deeds.

Obviously, Yan Jidao's death from illness had other secrets behind it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. Yan Jidao was the elder of the Central Pavilion. He was both a civil servant and a great Confucianist.

However, Qinzhou concealed his death for so long.

Among them tricky, really creepy.

He subconsciously looked at Qinzhou Mansion, with dark eyes, and said softly: "Don't worry, our Song governor may not be that simple."

Murong Yan's heart moved, Chen Gao bowed his head and remained silent.

At this time, the sound of collisions over the barracks gradually subsided.

Three piercing sounds came down.

Bang! !

The first to fall was a Pentecostal old man with a weak breath.

Then Tianxin, the masked man, and Fang Xirou fell down, and their vitality gradually recovered.

Seeing this, Chen Gao's pupils shrank, and he lowered his eyes immediately.

The military division was even more limp on the ground, his face pale.

Xia Houchun reined in his horse and approached, looking down at the Pentecostal Taoist.

His eyes were indifferent, and he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

The Pentecostal Taoist spat out blood, sneered, and asked without answering, "Xia Houchun?"

Xia Houchun nodded, "It's my palace."

The Pentecostal Taoist's face softened, and then he showed a deep sense of unwillingness, "The old Taoist skills are not as good as others, and there should be such a catastrophe in fate, I admit it."

Xia Houchun waved his arms to shake off the snow on his arms, and after lightly nodding to the three girls, he said, "Then let's do it honestly."

He raised his head to look at Xia Houchun, and said seriously: "If I explain everything, can you let the old man go?"
