"Stop talking nonsense! I, Qian Zhen, will never believe your nonsense again. Kill me!"
At that moment, Qian Zhen gave an order, and the guards who rushed in had no choice but to take action.
Liu Xia knew that once someone was killed here, everything would be out of control.
In an instant, Liu Xia's figure flashed, and at the fastest speed, he landed directly behind Qian Zhen before anyone could react.
As soon as Qian Zhen came to his senses, Nai was seriously injured and his reaction was a little slow. Liu Xia's power was already on Qian Zhen's neck.[
"Everyone stand back, or I will send you village leaders to hell!"
Liu Xia shouted angrily, and everyone in the hall was stunned.
"Leave me alone and kill this dog officer!"
Qian Zhen was a man after all. Even in this situation, he didn't frown and shouted at his subordinates.
However, his subordinates were afraid of taking action.
Liu Xia's cultivation was revealed just now. Not to mention his Tianlong Village, even Huanglong from the Black Wind Village might not be his opponent.
Who can stop him? Besides, their leader is in the hands of Liu Xia.
"Haha, everyone, if you don't want your village master to die, just obediently make way for me. Otherwise, even if you kill your village master, you won't be able to stop me."
Liu Xia drank loudly.
The guards in Tianlong Village stared blankly at him for a moment.
Seeing that they didn't dare to take action, Liu Xia said to Zhao Wenzhi, "Let's go!"
At that moment, Liu Xia pressed Qian Zhen and walked towards the door.
Sure enough, the guards just surrounded them but did not dare to do anything else.
A moment later, Liu Xia arrived outside the gate of their stronghold. Liu Xia was now surrounded by enemies.
"Okay everyone, please don't send me off. I invite your village leader to stay with me for a few days, and then I will let him back and say goodbye."
Having said this, Liu Xia immediately released the people and said to Zhao Wenzhi: "Catch him."
Zhao Wenzhi hurriedly grabbed the hilt of Cangsheng's sword. Liu Xia immediately stepped on Tianquan, controlled Cangsheng, and flew directly into the sky towards the direction of Tiantian Mountain.
Those people in Tianlong Village were dumbfounded, but they could only watch Liu Xia leave them, and there was nothing they could do to stop Liu Xia.
After flying for less than half an hour, after getting rid of the pursuers, they had already entered the defense zone of the bandit-suppressing army.[
After landing, he pressed Qian Zhen and returned to the top of Tiantian Mountain smoothly.
After returning to Liu Xia's camp, Liu Xia let go of Qian Zhen, and immediately, a group of imperial guards rushed in.
Qian Zhen knew that he was no match for Liu Xia and had fallen into the hands of the enemy, so he just glared at Liu Xia and did not resist.
After a while, Liu Xia changed into casual clothes, had some simple food and drinks prepared, and waved her hand to leave.
At this moment, only Zhao Wenzhi, Liu Xia and Qian Zhen were left in Liu Xia's tent.
"Brother Qian, I'm really sorry to invite you here in this way."
Liu Xia raised his wine glass and smiled lightly.
"Huh, don't pretend to be compassionate here. If you want to kill or shave, I, Qian Zhen, won't be considered a human being if I frown."
Qian Zhen said angrily with disdain.
"Brother Qian, if I wanted to kill you, do you think you could survive until now?"
Liu Xia changed the subject and smiled coldly.
"Prince Weiyuan, others don't know what you are planning. Don't I know better? If you want to give me peace, just kill me. I won't agree."
Qian Zhen's attitude was firm and he glared at Liu Xia and said.
"Haha, since Brother Qian already knows, I don't have to go around in circles. I haven't touched your Tianlong Village, and I really want to give you peace. Your Tianlong Village and your subordinates account for one-third of the entire bandit population.
1. Even so, I have 100,000 troops in my hands this time. How long do you think you and Heifeng Village can sustain it?"
Liu Xia picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the side dish and said.
"Prince Weiyuan, you don't need to waste your words. Even if you have millions of troops, I, Qian Zhen, will not be afraid at all."
Qian said angrily.
"Brother Qian, I know you will not be afraid, and I believe in your courage to die together. But have you ever thought about whether your sacrifice is worth it? If all you kill are corrupt officials, then fine, even if it is just the two of you.
One, ten thousand of you, killing five thousand corrupt officials is enough.
However, what you want to kill is the imperial army! Like you, they are also children of poor families, with parents, wives and children. Even if you kill three by one person, you will only kill some and
You are just as pitiful people. Is it interesting to keep going like this?"
Liu Xia smiled disdainfully.
Qian Zhen was speechless immediately.
"You were born in the military, and you know how difficult it is for these soldiers. They take weapons and put on military uniforms to protect their homes and country, and to allow more people to live a better life. But you, on the other hand,
Full of justice, with such fearful courage, with justice
You think you are the master of the army, but how many chivalrous and righteous things have you done in these years? You have occupied the mountain as the king in Yuntianling, and you have not killed a single corrupt official. On the contrary, you have made thousands of households here depressed and the people have no life. This is
What was your original intention when you became bandits?"
Liu Xia asked.[
"Stop saying these high-sounding words. If it weren't for corrupt officials like you, how could we be where we are today?"
Qian Zhen retorted.
"Yes, yes, it's us corrupt officials. Well, let me say something treasonous. Once you become the emperor, do you dare to guarantee that there will not be a single corrupt official in the world you rule?"
Liu Xia said angrily.
Qian Zhen was stunned there.
Corruption has existed since ancient times because human nature is inherently greedy.
If it were him, there would be no guarantee that there would be no corrupt officials in the world.
"Qian Zhen, corruption has been the most troublesome problem for emperors throughout the ages. I have no solution, and neither do you. However, we all have the same wish, which is the hope that each of us can live in peace and prosperity.
中.You have been to many places, and I believe that what you have seen and heard is far more than what I know. Has the Tianji Dynasty reached a point where the people are in dire straits and are living in dire straits?"
Liu Xia asked.
"this……"
Qian Zhen didn't know how to go on. Except for Yuanping Prefecture in Wuzhou, under the rule of the Tianji Dynasty, only southern Xinjiang and a few places were suffering. The remaining places were still enjoying peace and prosperity. The Tianji Dynasty was far from over.
It reached the point where the Daqing Dynasty was at the end of its rope.
"Qian Zhen, I know your misfortune and your difficulties. I dare not promise you anything, but there is one thing. If you are willing to accept the imperial edict, I can let you always follow me. I dare not say anything else.
, I can kill corrupt officials happily. None of us have the ability to completely eradicate corruption, but we have a common desire. You have to give yourself a way out,
You must also leave a way for your brothers to survive. After Yuanpingzhou suppressed the bandits, everything was in ruins. They are the mainstay of rebuilding Yuanpingzhou. Do you want us to kill them all and leave only a few in this place?
The old, weak, sick and disabled will be completely submerged in the torrent of history from now on. Aren't you afraid that your descendants will point at your spine and scold you?"
Liu Xia said excitedly.
When Qian Zhen heard this, he lowered his head.
The conditions Liu Xia offered are indeed very sincere. If they continue to resist, they will be destroyed sooner or later. However, if they accept Liu Xia's imperial edict, some of them may be able to have a better life with their military exploits.
way out.
Seeing his hesitation, Liu Xia clapped his hands and said: "Qian Zhen, the road is at your feet. Whether you choose to die together or accept the imperial edict, I will gladly accept it. To express my sincerity, I will give you another one today.
A gift for you. Lian Sheng, bring it to me."
After Liu Xia finished shouting, he saw Liu Liansheng and Tong Dawei taking this short, very thin middle-aged man into the camp.
Qian Zhen looked at him and couldn't help but his eyes were on fire.
Because, this person is Zhang Zixuan, who has a hatred of killing his wife.
Zhang Zixuan didn't expect to see Qian Zhen here. When he came in, he was frightened.
With a bang, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this person is Qian Zhen, the leader of Tianlong Village. This person is rebellious and unforgivable. Your Majesty, you can't let him go."
"Haha, the bad guy files the complaint first. Zhang Zixuan, back then, you 'raped' and killed Qian Zhen's wife, and later accused him of plotting a rebellion. You 'forced' him to Yuntianling. If he is unforgivable, you are the chief culprit."
Liu Xia smiled disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am a villain who abides by the law. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhang Zixuan knew his fate today and shouted hurriedly.
"I don't need a clear warning. Qian Zhen has been brought to you. I will leave the rest to you. As for Zhao'an, you can consider it yourself. Come and have a drink, and I will personally take you down the mountain."
Having said this, Liu Xia picked up the wine glass.
Qian Zhen originally hated Liu Xia to the core, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that Liu Xia was somewhat cute.
Because compared to his sworn enemy, Liu Xia is indeed much cuter.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Having said this, Qian Zhen wanted to say a few more words, but he really didn't know what to say about Zhao'an, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Come on. Let me take you down the mountain."
Immediately, Liu Xia smiled.
With that said, Liu Liansheng and Tong Dawei pressed Zhang Zixuan and accompanied Liu Xia down the mountain.
The group of people sent Qian Zhen outside the defense area. Liu Xiacai clasped his fists and said, "Brother Qian, I won't send you far."
Having said this, he picked up Zhang Zixuan and threw him to the ground.
Qian Zhen cupped his fists, glanced at Zhang Zixuan who was lying on the ground and was shaking, gritted his teeth and said, "Goodbye."
At that moment, he carried Zhang Zixuan and headed towards Tianlong Village.
Looking at Qian Zhen's back, Liu Hongtao, who was riding over at this moment, turned over and said, "My lord, why did you let him go?"
"Let him go. Things like Zhao'an are not sweet if they are forced. Besides, Tianlong Village is not a piece of iron. He needs time to think about it."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
"But, my lord, are you sure you can arrest them? If we fail, we will miss our best opportunity. At this moment, Tianlong Village is tensely deploying defenses. The longer we delay, the greater the casualties will be."
Liu Hongtao said worriedly.
"Why not. If we fight this, we can't avoid death. Wait, maybe there will be a better turn. Starting tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale attack on the subordinate cottages of Tianlong Village. It's time to put some pressure on them."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
When Liu Hongtao heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Xia meant, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "As ordered."
