The huge turntable continued to rotate, and various colors of light flowed on it. After a moment, it slowly stopped.
The gorgeous purple light filled the sight, and finally the purple light suddenly condensed and turned into a card.
[Purple Ceka, Six Swords of King Wu

There are six swords, one is called "White Rainbow", the second is called "Purple Lightning", the third is said to "ward off evil spirits", and the fourth is said to be "
"Meteor", the fifth is "Qingming", the sixth is "Baili".]
The purple radiance shattered, and the light flourished again, rushing upwards, turning into six rays of light, and then suddenly fell to the ground.
Six swords were quietly inserted around Xiao Cheng. On the sword body, there was light flowing on its own, or it was as bright as a white rainbow, or there seemed to be purple thunder and lightning walking on it, or there was a green and dark color flashing...
A flash of cold light emerged from the body of the six-handled sword. The sword energy revealed by it was as sharp as the substance, and it stabbed people's skin and flesh so hard that they dared not look directly.
Xiao Cheng casually took two long swords with his left and right hands and looked at them across his chest.
In the sight that only he could see, a line of small words appeared on each of the two swords.

There are extremely rare fourth-grade sword treasures in the world. If any of these swords were to flow into the rivers and lakes, there would be countless people fighting for them.
But at this time, Xiao Cheng was stuck on the ground.
Xiao Cheng picked up each one, waved it casually, weighed it a few times, and then put it aside without paying much attention.
Swords are naturally good swords, and each comes with special skills with different effects.
But Xiao Cheng, who owns the fifth-grade treasure Furious Dragon Sword and the Dragon Shooting Bow, naturally has no shortage of useful weapons.
So even though this is a purple strategy card, what is useful to Xiao Cheng is that the forged weapons that come with the card can improve the quality. At most, coupled with a special skill, it can prevent evil spells from being added to the body.
sword.
But, since the emperor has nine seals, he can also have six swords! In the future, he can reward his ministers for their merits, or he can go on errands with the courtiers and give them as emperor swords. That is much more suitable than the Shangfang Sword!
Xiao Cheng raised his head slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Feng Bao!"
Feng Bao, who was standing outside the door, heard Xiao Cheng calling and quickly pushed open the palace door. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the six swords next to Xiao Cheng, each with its own unique look, and his brows jumped.
.
However, Feng Bao had been serving Xiao Cheng for a long time, and he knew that there were many strange things about His Majesty. Seeing that there was no strange expression on Xiao Cheng's face, Feng Bao immediately suppressed his surprise, walked quickly to Xiao Cheng, and bowed to salute.
,road:
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Cheng pointed to the six swords beside him and said:
"Arrange the craftsmen to measure and make the scabbard and sword stand."
"yes."
Feng Bao quickly signaled to his young eunuch to come in and move the six swords away.
But at this time, Xiao Cheng suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Feng Bao, and asked:
"By the way, have I ever handed over the reward regulations that I asked the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households to jointly draft?"
The reason why Xiao Cheng set the destination of his tour in Jiangzhou County was to come and reward a group of meritorious soldiers.
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly said:
"The initially drafted plan was handed over this morning, and is on His Majesty's desk."
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded slightly and said:
"Find it and let me take a look."
When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly walked to the imperial case aside and found the memorial among the memorials on the table.
Xiao Cheng opened the memorial, and the supplies needed for the army's reward, as well as the names of the meritorious soldiers, were all listed on it.
Among all the meritorious soldiers, the first one was General Cheng Bushi who conquered the North. He was followed by General Wu Xiang Di Qing. Wu Zixu, who had shocked the world in the battle of Rongzhou City before, was only ranked third this time. An
General Yang Dayan of the East and Zheng He, who commanded Buri Navy and won the great victory of Leizhou, were ranked last.
In addition, there are some familiar names to Xiao Cheng in the list.
For example, Zhao Yun and Yang Zaixing captured Yangping Pass, besieged the Xia Army in Jiangyang County, and captured Qiu Tianlu, the Xia Army's commander alive. They rode into the camp alone, and Jiang Wei rushed to the rescue at the critical moment of Jianzhou Pass. They also led his troops to defend Jianzhou Pass.
Zhuge Liang was transferred to another place to maintain the supply and supply of the army.
Xiao Cheng read through the memorial carefully, pondered for a while, and said:
"There is something wrong with the rewards given to the generals and they need to be changed!"
Feng Bao was slightly stunned and said with some uncertainty:
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Cheng Bushi, the general of the Northern Expedition, was granted the title of Marquis of Yuanyuan, moved to the position of General of the Guards, and was changed to the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Command. He was also in charge of the capital camp and garrison of the capital."
Today's Cheng Bushi has been reduced to second-rate ability among the generals on the front line. However, with his rigorous temperament, strictness in running the army, and Xiao Cheng's status as a loyal minister, he is the most suitable to shoulder the responsibility of defending the capital!
"General Wu Xiang, Di Qing, was granted the title of Yanshan Bo, and was moved to Zhennan. He was also the former military governor's left governor. He led an army of 100,000 to guard Anshun and the two counties of Xiangzhou. Andong General Yang Dayan was granted the title of Fu Anbo, and was moved to the town.
General Dong, who was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army and the Left Commander, mobilized an army of 50,000 to guard Shaoyang County. Zheng He was appointed as an eunuch, and was granted the title of Jing Hongzi, who also served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and led his troops to Leizhou."
At this time, Feng Bao didn't think it was anything when he heard His Majesty's rewards for the courtiers. Until he heard that Zheng He, who was also an eunuch, was also made a viscount because of his military exploits, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
color.
"Wu Zixu, Marquis of Qujing, moved to the Right Army Governor's Mansion and the Left Governor, led an army of 150,000, and garrisoned Jiangzhou County!"
Xiao Cheng's arrangement did not change much in terms of titles and rewards. However, in terms of the arrangement of military positions, almost all the regulations submitted by the Ministry of War were rejected.
But in fact, when I thought about it carefully, I found that Xiao Cheng didn't just decide it in a flash!
Among the frontline commanders, Cheng Bushi was the most stable. He was a die-hard loyalist to Xiao Cheng and was good at running the army and training soldiers. He was responsible for guarding the capital and training soldiers and horses.
Di Qing is good at cavalry attacks, can use troops quickly, and is also good at commanding infantry. It is most suitable to arrange garrison in Xiangzhou and Anshun counties.
Yang Dayan's character was a bit reckless, but fortunately he listened to Jin Ren's advice. With Xu Shu assisting him and Zheng He's water division accompanying him, he could act as a partial force to contain the Xia troops in Rong County and Yuzhang County.
Wu Zixu, on the other hand, was skilled in water-based warfare. He led most of his troops to garrison Jiangzhou County, controlled both armies on the water route, and threatened the land south of the Yangtze River. It was most appropriate for him to direct his troops towards Xia's capital!
Feng Bao is not low in IQ and strategy, but after carefully considering His Majesty's arrangements, he immediately understood Xiao Cheng's meaning and quickly responded:
"Yes, I have all remembered it!"
Xiao Cheng nodded and continued to ask:
"Where is Shen Wansan?"
"Because the supplies rewarded by the army were brought by Shen Daguan and merchants, the waterways and land routes all need to be coordinated and operated. Even if there are miscellaneous families on the side to help, the traveling speed will not be faster... But according to what was sent back yesterday
According to the news, if there is no delay, it will only take five days to reach Jiangzhou County." Feng Bao quickly replied.
To reward an army of 300,000 people, the amount of wine, meat, rice, grain, cloth and other materials required is huge, and it is really expensive to transport it from the DPRK to China.
Anyway, it was not the materials needed for the army's campaign. It was not extremely urgent and could not be delayed. So Xiao Cheng asked Shen Wansan and the Za family to come forward and gather merchants from the country to transport them. The court would then allocate the banknotes, which would save time.
Save effort.
"Five more days?"
Xiao Cheng's eyes moved and he asked again:
"What about Zhang Yi who is going to Jinling City in Xia Kingdom?"
"The news was sent back half a month ago. Chief Zhang Yi threatened him with words in the Xia court, which made the Xia Emperor and all the Xia ministers feel deeply frightened. They could only bow their heads and agree, and sent envoys to come with letters of credence.
The mission will return and head upstream to Jiangzhou City, they should be there soon."
Although it felt a little humiliating to take the initiative to submit the credential for armistice, it was not a credential for ceding territory and begging for peace.
Xia Emperor Yu Zhaoling had a strong temper and was unwilling to accept it. However, Zhang Yi threatened to send troops again and asked the Xia courtiers to take the initiative to persuade Yu Zhaoling. In the end, he could only hold his nose and admit it and sent an envoy.
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile, nodded and said:
"This instrument is quite interesting!"
Feng Bao saw Xiao Cheng smiling at this time, but he couldn't help but said:
"Your Majesty, this armistice document is dispensable. Your Majesty, why do you insist on forcing Xia Guo to submit it voluntarily?"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng chuckled lightly and said:
"It is indeed a dispensable thing. If used well, it can still make some people completely give up on the Xia Kingdom's court!"
When Feng Bao heard this, his eyes blinked, showing a thoughtful look.
——
At this time, outside the Jiangzhou City government prison.
A police officer walked out of the cell, looked around for a few times, and after making sure no one was following him, he carefully walked into the dark alley aside. After a long time, the police officer walked out with a bulging bag in his arms and a happy face.
After a while, a group of middle-aged people dressed in Jianghu walked out of the dark alley with normal expressions, merged into the crowd on the street, and wandered around Jiangzhou City for a long time before arriving.
In a secret courtyard.
"It turned out that the nephews of each family, as well as some Jianghu rangers who participated in the assassination, were all imprisoned in the Yamen cells. The bribed jailer said that except for those who resisted and were killed during the arrest, the rest were imprisoned in the prison cells.
Inside, he was not killed or tortured."
In the courtyard, seven or eight old and middle-aged people with deep and solemn auras and solemn faces gathered here.
After hearing the words of the middle-aged man who went to investigate, one of the old men suddenly relaxed, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said:
"Even though my grandson was caught... it's okay, it's okay. This Emperor Yun must have been concerned about the people in our martial arts community in Jiangzhou County, so he spared our nephew's life."
"Yes, I am afraid that even Emperor Yun himself felt that the killing was too much that day, lest the brutal image be known to the people and lose the hearts of the people of Jiangzhou County. You see, since he came to Jiangzhou City more than a month ago,
, but he has been giving kindness to the people to make up for it."
"If that's the case, we might be able to work it out to get the children and nephews of each family out without forcing their way into the prison..."
The people in the martial arts community in Jiangzhou County who were present, because their nephews had been killed or captured, had all shared the same hatred before. They decided to work together and tried their best to rescue their nephews, and then set out to take revenge on Emperor Yun and the Yun Kingdom court.
.
But when he learned that his nephew was not dead, but was imprisoned in a cell, he suddenly had strange thoughts.
Hearing these words, some of them turned pale.
Then I heard someone snort and say disdainfully:
"Hmph, the assassination on the Yuanjiang River more than a month ago has now spread throughout the world. Two land masters of the Immortal Realm, a dozen elites of hundreds of schools, and ninth-level masters were all treated like pigs and dogs by Emperor Yun, and they were all slaughtered.
Ask yourselves, Emperor Yun is not afraid of offending hundreds of schools of thought in the world, how could he still be afraid of our martial arts community in Jiangzhou County?"
"Why should we care about the public sentiment of Jiangzhou County? Those people are all vulgar people who forget their loyalty and have no heart for their country. Emperor Yun decreed that the fields from the homes of so many loyal people were confiscated and distributed to those who had no family.
The public opinion about the unruly people in the fields suddenly changed."
"That is, in addition to this, Emperor Yun also pretended to re-scale tax exemptions, build water conservancy projects, and establish academies, which deceived many ignorant people. Now, no matter how many loyal people he kills, there are still people who stand by him.
Come out and shout!"
These people, the so-called loyal people, are naturally the local gentry and wealthy people who have been found to be secretly colluding with the Xia Kingdom.
"If Emperor Yun doesn't kill the nephews of each family, I'm afraid he has other desires! If he threatens and forces me to do this, it's better to rescue him directly and save him from being accused of betraying his family and country!"
"Yes, that makes sense!"
"That's the truth. Anyway, we are familiar with the prison guards. When the time comes, we can directly rescue the nephews of each family and avoid being threatened by Emperor Yun!"
After hearing this, a few people who were still hesitant found it difficult to continue talking at this time, so they could only nod in agreement.
