"One day, Zuo Lingyue, the governor of Guanwai County, came in person and asked to see you." Zhao Xianguan said.
"The Sheriff is here in person?" Senior Brother Yan looked at me with a slightly changed expression: "Junior Brother, the Sheriff is also considered a high-ranking official. He is a canonized Immortal Official. Although their strength varies, there are also many Sheriffs who are very good in cultivation.
It's very high, and you can assassinate the opponent with just one face-to-face encounter. With your current state, it's better for me to accompany you there."
"I'm relieved that Senior Brother is here, so let's go take a look." I said, put away my sword, and flew to the City Hall with Senior Brother Yan, Zhao Xianguan, and Shang Wanqiu.
In the living room, there were two middle-aged men in their forties, a scribe and a general. They were wearing armor and had handsome looks. Lightning flashed in their eyes. They seemed to have extremely high cultivation levels, but they were suppressed.
On one level, this is similar to Senior Brother Yan now. In this place, if cultivation is not restricted or suppressed, immortal energy will pour out.
The other foreigner has an average appearance, but a calm complexion, and his strength is about the same as mine, around the Shifang Realm, but judging from his clothes, he should be the protagonist of this meeting, Zuo Ling Yue.
"Are you the rebel leader Xia Yitian as the people say?" said the man dressed as a scribe there.
"Are you Zuo Lingyue?" I didn't answer directly, but asked his name first.
"I am Zuo Lingyue." The scribe replied. There was not much arrogance on his face, but he was quite calm.
Seeing that he was fearless, I said coldly: "The county guard did not supervise the battle outside and ventured into the enemy's camp. Aren't you afraid that I would let my subordinates gather together to besiege and capture the thief and the king?"
"I believe Chief Xia's character, a person who claims to be considerate of the people of the world, how could he do such an unjust act? To arrest a county guard who also thinks of the people and comes to negotiate? To take away what could have been a peaceful solution
Things planned to the point of being irreconcilable?" Zuo Lingyue said with a smile.
"Haha, it's unfortunate. Although I, Xia, think about the world, I will do anything to simplify one thing. This plan to win you over is undoubtedly the most practical one at the moment, isn't it?" I looked to the left.
Ling Yue glanced at the general again. The general's hand was clasped on his sword, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he showed no emotion at all. He seemed to be used to this kind of confrontation.
"Hahaha, okay, in wartime, swords and swords are at each other's throats, and it is true that war never tires of deceit, but Chief Xia, let's avoid this matter. It's more important to talk about business." Zuo Lingyue laughed lightly, walked to the opposite conference table and sat down, and then
Please sit down.
I looked at him coldly and made a signal with my hand to take him down. Zhao Xianguan moved a step, but a pair of big hands patted my shoulders: "Junior brother, please be patient, otherwise we can do this.
Let’s talk first, maybe we can get through it?”
Taking over the opponent will definitely reverse the entire situation. With the county guard in my hands, there are so many things I can do, and I may be able to save countless soldiers and people from suffering for a long time.
So I thought that Senior Brother Yan didn't know the truth behind this, but when I saw that Senior Brother Yan's hand was not going to let go, I looked at the general and saw that his eyes remained unchanged, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, but he was resting on the sword handle.
But my hand relaxed, and my peripheral vision always stayed on Senior Brother Yan. It seemed that the opponent's strength level was too high, and Senior Brother Yan did not dare to let me take risks.
But it’s normal to think about it. A gentleman doesn’t build dangerous walls. If the opponent dares to come alone, he will naturally be prepared. And what you can see here is a general who has suppressed his strength. If he has a desperate mentality and releases all his
It doesn't seem to be difficult to protect Zuo Lingyue from leaving with my own strength. When I don't have a strong grasp, it's better to be calm and calm.
"That's good, then, Lord Sheriff, is there anything you want to say this time?" I sat opposite him, Senior Brother Yan stood behind me with his sword pressed, while Zhao Xianguan and Shang Wanqiu looked at each other coldly.
What are your plans?
"Leader Xia's tactics were strong and he raised his troops like a storm. The war only lasted for more than two months. Zuo felt deeply that the follow-up was weak. If we continue to follow this trend, it will only be a matter of time before Zuo's defeat. But does Leader Xia have any thoughts?
After occupying the Guanwai County, how will the subsequent situation be maintained?" Zuo Lingyue said calmly, but his eyes darkened, which showed that this was where he was under pressure.
"Then Commander Zuo plans to surrender and seek advice from me?" I was very interested in what Zuo Lingyue wanted to continue.
"Captain Xia is really joking. I'm here just to say that before everyone becomes seriously ill, we should step back from the brink, clean up the mess, and face the next difficulties." Zuo Lingyue shook his head and said.
"What is the dilemma? How to overthrow the tyranny? Restructure the economy? Restore people's livelihood? I think this is the dilemma." I said.
"Haha, these are not dilemmas. The dilemma is that now the county's treasury is empty, and the emperor's taxes are no longer able to be paid, and our Guanwai County is still in dire straits, with frequent wars. If this continues, the heavenly army will soon come, what tyranny, what economy, what
I think people's livelihood is just a small boat, which will eventually sink into the sea under the waves of the heavenly army!" Zuo Lingyue said with a bitter look on his face.
"Of course I have seen the emperor's heavenly army, and I have also heard about the taxation matter. Regardless of politics or military affairs, they are all common. If you can't do it, then I will come and give up the position of county guard. I will promise you ten thousand immortal crystals.
, whether you escape or stay outside the pass, I will face the emperor's heavenly army directly." I said without hesitation.
"Facing the emperor's army?" Zuo Lingyue looked at me in astonishment, and then looked at the general beside him. Both of them laughed dumbly: "How powerful is the heavenly army, how can you bear it? At that time, Tianfeng County was known as the world's leader.
The leader of the five counties is more than ten times more powerful than our Guanwai County? How can we destroy the county for the massacre! Our Guanwai County occupies a small corner of the world, but we dare to despise the power of God. We are not only looking into the sky from the bottom of a well, we can only say that we are ignorant
Be fearless!"
"This was only a few hundred years ago. Later, countless rebel armies were as sweeping as yours. Even historians thought it was a inevitable victory. However, the final outcome was still nothing more than disintegration and the failure of the uprising.
Who will bear it? The rebels died in the battle, but it was the people who suffered. You tied the people to the chariot and planned your own great cause. If you die in the battle, who will stop the emperor from causing disasters to the nine tribes?
?I think your strength is mediocre. The emperor can crush you to death with even half of his finger, and the army cannot withstand the pressure of the heavenly army. Not to mention that the heavenly army has many generals with the same strength as the emperor. So what can you do?
Confrontation? Our Guanwai County is no more than firefly powder in front of him. To defeat such a behemoth, it may be irreversible without the power of a thousand years. But do you think you can resist the emperor for a thousand years? Haha, it seems like the Qilin County that recently revolted.
The clan has fled all the way, and I’m afraid it’s not too late to be truly destroyed!” The general looked like a military attaché, but he showed a depth that was beyond his image, and I couldn’t help but take a high look.
"Qilin County is as strong as Tianfeng County back then. Think about that old lady who is also powerful. She has built the entire Qilin County like a molten iron camp. It is true that the soldiers are strong and the generals are vast. Unfortunately, the internal friction is huge, and the soldiers do not listen to the generals. Once they are defeated
, it is such a pity that the army was defeated like a mountain. The world is over, and the dynasty will change, and it will last for hundreds of years, or even a thousand years! What a pity, what a sigh!" Zuo Lingyue banged his hand on the table.
.
The general looked at the hand, in a daze, and then said: "A little closer, we are in Qinghe, the county of Linjun. More than ten years ago, it was like Leader Xia. The rebel army rebelled, the county guard fled and disappeared, and the Heavenly Army
Come on, so what? The whole county was wiped out, and the capital was finally filled with lonely souls and wild ghosts, completely turning into a ghost town. Now the city has changed its name, but in the end it's still the end of paying taxes honestly."
"What? Wanquan City is gone?" Senior Brother Yan's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"No, I wonder if you are from Wanquan City?" Zuo Lingyue asked curiously.
"Alas, Wanquan's old friend Yan Asi is nothing to mention." Senior Brother Yan sighed, feeling extremely sad about the destruction of Wanquan City. He once told me that he was going to Wanquan City to visit his old friend.
People, I don’t know if there will be such a day, but now, it is obviously not possible.
"Yan Asi? Qinghe Sword Immortal Yan Asi!?" The general's face changed slightly, and he looked at Senior Brother Yan with wide eyes, with a look of reverence in his eyes.
"Qinghe Sword Immortal? The people of Qinghe County are fierce and fierce. Brother Yan was really a powerful figure in the surrounding counties back then." Zuo Lingyue was also shocked. It seems that Brother Yan has a great reputation and is famous in the surrounding counties.
, which also made Zuo Lingyue and the general think highly of me.
"You two are so complimentary. It's a pity that the name Qinghe Sword Immortal will no longer exist. Today Yan is just my junior brother's follower. Yan admires his talent and strategy very much and supports his next move."
, you two should put the business back on the table and discuss it in detail with my junior brother." Senior Brother Yan said with an embarrassed smile.
Zuo Lingyue and the general looked at each other before facing the matter seriously.
