The strongest Marquis in history

After a long time, Han Jingbai took the lead and said: "Brother, the matter has come to this point, in my opinion, we can only choose to pay compensation. We can't afford to offend Wang Qi, so we can only avoid his edge first. I don't believe that Wang Qi's Qi Guo can continue to triumph. When we are in trouble, we have a chance for revenge."

Zeng Hong sighed again.

Over the years, Zixia Mountain has always been the leader of the Taoist sect and is in charge of the Taoist sect.But now he is in a predicament and is suppressed by Wang Qi.

Zeng Hong thought for a while, and said: "In this case, let Pu Yuanxiao go and meet Wang Qi in Qi State in person, and explain that I, Zixia Mountain, are willing to compensate. For this compensation, I, Zixia Mountain, will take out a grain of nine Transfer Zijin Pill to Wang Qi."

Han Jingbai said: "Yes!"

Pu Yuanxiao added: "Master, master uncle, and Wang Qi's condition, there is another condition, the emperor admits that the Qi State has jurisdiction over Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and the emperor must personally issue an edict."

Zeng Hong said: "This matter is simple. When you go to see Wang Qi, just say that this matter is already being handled. After all, after you go, Pindao immediately arranges someone to send a message to the emperor, and the emperor will arrange it soon. This matter , the emperor cannot refuse."

"Yes!"

Pu Yuanxiao said: "Master Ancestor, it is also about giving the Nine Turns Zijin Pill as compensation. What if Wang Qi doesn't accept it?"

Zeng Hong's old face darkened, and he said, "Won't you think of a way if Wang Qi doesn't accept it? You are fully responsible for this matter. You have to tell Wang Qi that I am from Zixia Mountain and am willing to pay compensation, but no one People are insulting. If the situation is really urgent, if the two sides clash, it will be dead, and Wang Qi will not feel well."

Pu Yuanxiao said: "The disciple understands."

Zeng Hong waved his hand, and Pu Yuanxiao bowed and retreated.

In the room, only two gray-haired old men, Zeng Hong and Han Jingbai, were left.

The two looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces.After all, at this point, Zixia Mountain lost Yang Sanqian, and Sanqingguan surrendered to Wang Qi, but they were in trouble and were overwhelmed by Sanqingguan.

Chapter 651

Wang Qi took Wang Fuzhi, Qi Changsheng, a group of masters of the Three Purities, and a few first-rate masters of the Three Purities to the territory of Qi.Among the disciples of Sanqing Temple who are staying in Zhongnan Mountain now, there is a master who is a master, and the rest are inferior. They stay in Sanqing Temple for the time being. After all, Zhongnan Mountain is the ancestral home of Sanqing Temple.

A group of people hurried on the road, but the speed of the road was a little slower at this time.It was nearly June, and the group returned to the northern military camp in Pingyuan County, Qingzhou.

Today's barracks are still stationed at the border.

For the time being, Zhang Shiqi has never been attacked.

After Wang Qi returned to the barracks, he first settled down with Wang Fuzhi, Qi Changsheng and the others.According to the previous arrangement, all the masters of Sanqingguan will stay in the army to practice, so they are all placed in the army.

When Wang Qi returned, Qiu Ji and Tian Ce came to the main tent of the Chinese army.

The expressions of the two were quite serious.

Seeing this, Wang Qi asked, "Did something happen now?"

Qiu Ji said: "His Royal Highness, today's Jizhou has been brought under the control of Zhenbeihou. Not long after you left, Zhenbeihou drove straight in and directly seized Jizhou. Now the entire Jizhou, all parts of the state have expressed their attachment to Qi. It's just that , and now there is an extremely bad situation, Jizhou is completely abolished."

Wang Qi was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

Qiu Ji said: "Zhang Shiqi returned to Ye City, and quietly poisoned and killed the master masters of the four major families in the army. Originally, the four major families sent five masters to assist them. "

"Unexpectedly, Zhang Shiqi suddenly poisoned and killed these five master-level masters. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shiqi made a lightning move to remove the generals of the four major families in the army and people in the officialdom. At the same time, he directly sent troops to slaughter The great clan of Jizhou."

"The four major families could not stop Zhang Shiqi's army without the masters at the master level. As a result, they were all killed in a short time. After Zhang Shiqi wiped out the four major families, he mobilized troops from all over the country to slaughter the local clans and seize All the money, food and weapons."

"In the end, Zhang Shiqi abandoned Jizhou and coerced the people to go to Bingzhou. After all, part of the original Bingzhou was in Zhang Shiqi's hands. So after his power entered Bingzhou, he reckoned that he would soon take over the entire Bingzhou."

"This situation is extremely sudden."

"In today's Jizhou, there is no food, and most of the people are coerced away. As a result, the whole Jizhou is in a state of depression. Because when Zhenbeihou is in the north of Jizhou, he is dragged down by the local big clan and cannot get out."

"In addition, Zhang Shiqi blocked the news again, Zhenbei Hou didn't know, and we got the news later, in the end, we didn't stop it in time. As a result, today's Jizhou is completely chaotic and barren."

Qiu Ji sighed: "Zhang Shiqi's move is too unexpected."

Wang Qi also frowned suddenly, and said: "Zhang Shiqi is really a ruthless person, but on the other hand, although Jizhou is exhausted, in fact, it is still beneficial to us."

Tian Ce nodded, and said: "The benefit His Highness mentioned is because the Jizhou clan was slaughtered. After we enter Jizhou, it will be easier to promote Qi's strategy and carry out land reform."

"It's just that the place is in decline. It will be very difficult for Qi to restore the vitality of Jizhou."

"This cannot be achieved overnight, and it will slow down our continued expansion. Even now that Jizhou and Youzhou have been included in the Qi State, the north-south line of the entire Qi State will be longer, and the pressure we will face will be even greater. "

"Even local governance is even more important. If we don't pay attention, if we are a little careless, the local chaos will hold us back. Although the north-south connection is beneficial, it is also very stressful."

Tian Ce said: "In short, the current situation has both advantages and disadvantages."

Wang Qidao: "The matter has come to this, what we can do is to help Jizhou, and restore Jizhou to life as soon as possible."

"Report!"

At this moment, it was the soldiers who entered and said, "Your Highness, Chen Qinglong begs to see you."

"Please!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The soldiers went to deliver the order, and after a while, Chen Qinglong stepped in again.

The expression on Chen Qinglong's face was even more solemn, with murderous intent in his eyes, and he said: "Your Highness, I have the latest news from Jizhou. The Huns went south and invaded Jizhou from Bingzhou. Wherever they passed, thousands of miles of red land were slaughtered." Countless, and even more, countless people were looted. After this wave, the territory of Jizhou is even more miserable. Please read the detailed situation, Your Highness."

He handed in a letter about Jizhou.

Wang Qi's eyes also turned sharp. He took the letter and quickly read it.In a short period of time, Wang Qi read the letter, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Zhang Shiqi really broke through the lower limit."

"He slaughtered the big families and coerced the people to go to Bingzhou. Even this time, the Huns went south from Bingzhou, and they went to Zhang Shiqi's jurisdiction, and then entered Jizhou to slaughter and plunder the people."

"Today's Jizhou is not the desolation mentioned earlier, but the real desolation. Countless people have been killed, and countless people have been slaughtered."

"After the Huns entered Jizhou, they were not a single force, but a force that was completely dispersed and divided into many forces, looting and massacring everywhere. This is the Jizhou left by Zhang Shiqi. It is really abominable."

Wang Qi already had murderous intentions towards the Xiongnu and Zhang Shiqi.

Previously, I heard that Zhang Shiqi coerced the people to leave, and even slaughtered the big family. Wang Qi was fine, because the people were just coerced away, and Wang Qi had no sympathy for the aristocratic family being slaughtered.

But let the Huns invade, it is different.

After Tian Ce heard this, he was also shocked. He didn't expect Zhang Shiqi to change so much.

Zhang Shiqi in the past was a wise king.

Has the appearance of the Holy Lord.

You must know that Zhang Shiqi was unwilling to attack Wang Zongxi even with the help of the Xianbei people.But now, Zhang Shiqi has completely changed, not only coercing the people, but also using the power of the Huns to allow the Huns to slaughter the people.

This change is unbelievable.

But it happened.

Tian Ce took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, the reason why Zhang Shiqi is like this. I believe that the four major families made him worry, and the other four major families avoided fighting before, which led to Zhang Shiqi's defeat. He was very upset." .”

"Following that, two great masters, Yang Sanqian and Wufa, came to reconcile. Yang Sanqian was taken down, and Wufa retreated directly. After the news spread, Zhang Shiqi faced the aggressive attack of the Marquis of Zhenbei again."

"Zhang Shiqi knew that he couldn't keep it, so he made this move. We are indeed in more trouble now. After all, countless people in Jizhou have been slaughtered, and ten rooms and nine empty houses are left. This is a mess."

"The original Jizhou was a granary with sufficient capital. But today's Jizhou is difficult to handle. This situation will be quite difficult to deal with."

Tian Ce said: "For the current plan, it is necessary to quickly allocate food and other materials to relieve the disaster in Jizhou."

Wang Qi stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Shiqi's crime is extremely serious, and he is a sinner. Tian Ce, you arrange people to spread the news of Zhang Shiqi, and spread the crimes of Zhang Shiqi to the world. In addition, tell the world, who can Kill Zhang Shiqi and take Zhang Shiqi's head. This king will give him a marquis and reward him ten thousand taels of gold. Finally, I will announce that I, Wang Qi, will take Zhang Shiqi down. Once this king catches Zhang Shiqi, he will definitely be killed Let him regret what he did today."

"Follow your orders!"

Tian Ce replied respectfully.

He sighed deeply in his heart, Zhang Shiqi made a big mistake in this step.

Wang Qi looked at Qiu Ji and ordered: "Qiu Ji, you send a letter to Zhu Shanchang, asking him to allocate food and send it to Jizhou for disaster relief. In addition, our army is going to enter Jizhou to join our father. Next, we will do our best to solve the problem of Jizhou. question."

"Yes!"

Qiu Ji answered immediately.

Now Jizhou is in decline, countless people have been slaughtered, countless people have been taken away, and the whole Jizhou is completely barren.Such a situation is not easy to manage.Although there are certain benefits without the obstruction of aristocratic families, governance is relatively difficult.

Qiu Ji changed his mind and said, "Your Highness, I have an idea."

Wang Qi said, "What do you think?"

Qiu Ji said: "Now, can we transfer the people of Qingzhou to Jizhou to help? But the people who are willing to live in Jizhou, the imperial court can give certain preferential treatment. After all, Jizhou is very miserable today, and it needs a large number of people to be rich. More What's more, Jizhou has an excellent geographical location and rich land, which is also a rare good place."

Wang Qi thought for a while and said: "This matter will not be advanced for the time being. The specific situation in Jizhou is not clear enough. We will arrange it after we find out the situation. Especially Qingzhou and Xuzhou have just recovered. The only thing that is certain is that There is a shortage of food and so on, so for the time being, it is just a supplement of food and so on.”

Qiu Ji said: "I understand the humble position."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Go and prepare, next, prepare to enter Jizhou."

"Yes!"

Qiu Ji and Tian Ce all answered, and they left.

Chen Qinglong also left.

In the camp, only Wang Qi was left, and he didn't feel much joy because he got Jizhou.Because of the tragedy in Jizhou this time, it is unprecedented and even more unheard of.

Jizhou is the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with Youzhou in the north and Bingzhou in the west, so neither the Xiongnu nor the Xianbei can affect Jizhou. In addition, Jizhou has abundant resources, rich land, and many plains, suitable for farming. The economy, or agriculture, is a relatively lush area.

Now, it was ruined by Zhang Shiqi.

Wang Qi was very resentful about this, because such an approach was really vicious.

"Zhang Shiqi, when this king catches you, if I don't hack you into pieces, I'm sorry for the thousands of people who died."

Wang Qi muttered to himself.

He also has many lives in his hands, so Wang Qi never considers himself a good person.It's just that Wang Qi is clear about the importance, and knows that people who are not of our race will have different hearts, and will never do anything to collude with barbarians.

This time Zhang Shiqi touched Wang Qi's bottom line.

Wang Qi was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Shiqi. After he won Jizhou and stabilized Jizhou, the next step was to attack Zhang Shiqi.Not only Zhang Shiqi wants to win, but also Zhang Shiqi occupies Bingzhou. Once he wins Bingzhou, Wang Qi will occupy the northern half of the country and the southern land, so Wang Qi's strength will be even more stable.

While Wang Qi was thinking, the soldiers entered and reported: "Your Highness, Pu Yuanxiao from Zixia Mountain is asking to see you."

Wang Qi immediately ordered the soldiers to let Pu Yuanxiao enter. This time, he wants to see what conditions Zixia Mountain can give this time?

This is an opportunity to blackmail Zixia Mountain.

Chapter 652 Strong Extortion

Not long after, Pu Yuanxiao entered the tent.

Pu Yuanxiao is well aware of Wang Qi's power, especially since Wang Qi has subdued the Sanqingguan, and now his strength has greatly increased.Pu Yuanxiao didn't dare to make mistakes, stood still respectfully, and saluted: "Pu Yuanxiao, pay homage to King Qi."

Wang Qi said: "Pu Yuanxiao, Zixia Mountain, what kind of answer will you give me?"

Pu Yuanxiao hurriedly said: "Reporting to the King of Qi, Pindao came this time and brought my Zixia Mountain's most precious Nine-turn Zijin Pill. This pill is powerful, and it can be taken by a master at the peak of the master realm. I, Zixia Mountain, am willing to apologize to the King of Qi and offer the Nine Turns Zijin Pill as compensation. Please, King Qi, release the Suzerain and the rest of my Zixia Mountain.”

Wang Qi sneered, and said, "Nine-turn Purple Gold Pill, is it good? As soon as I arrived at the Sanqing Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, Qi Changsheng gave me four Supreme Pills as a gift. Although compared to the Nine-turn Zijin Pills, the Taishang Pills are a bit short. But the four Taishang Pills are probably far superior to your Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill."

Pu Yuanxiao frowned after listening.

Is the Sanqing Temple crazy?

As far as he knew, Sanqing Guan spent a lot of resources on alchemy over the years.After all, the refining of Taishang Dan consumes a lot of materials and countless medicines.This kind of loss, even the Sanqing Temple is difficult to sustain, so the Sanqing Temple itself has a limited storage of elixir.

However, giving Wang Qi four elixir at once is simply crazy.

Pu Yuanxiao suppressed the surprise in his heart, with a calm expression on his face, he explained: "King Qi, the reason why the Taishang Dan is worse than the Nine-Turn Zijin Pill is because the Nine-Turn Zijin Pill is more difficult to refine, and the Nine-Turn Zijin Pill is more difficult to refine. The Zijin Pill is more effective."

"Therefore, there are very few Nine-Turn Zijin Pills in my Zixia Mountain lineage. At present, there are Nine-Turn Zijin Pills stored in Zixia Mountain, that is, two pills. I have already given half of the Nine-Turn Zijin Pill to King Qi. .”

"King Qi, we came here with sincerity this time, and I implore King Qi to hold your hand high. In addition, concerning the area under the jurisdiction of Qi State, Zixia Mountain has sent a letter to the emperor, and there will be an imperial decree announced to the world soon. Announce the territory of Qi State."

Wang Qi sneered when he heard it.

There are five elixirs in Sanqing Temple such as Taishang Pill.

Zixia Mountain is not something that can be compared with the Sanqing Temple. According to Qi Changsheng, Zixia Mountain has always been rich and wealthy, so there are definitely a lot of Zixia Mountain's Nine Turns Zijin Pills.

Wang Qi didn't believe Pu Yuanxiao's words, and said directly: "Pu Yuanxiao, I don't like bargaining, and I don't like to speculate on your thoughts, so I went to argue with you. For a one-buy price, Zixia Mountain will give me six pieces of nine-turn purple gold." Dan, this king releases Yang Sanqian and Ma Changtong and others. Otherwise, none of them will survive."

Pu Yuanxiao hurriedly said: "King Qi, this is difficult for the strong, I don't have it in Zixia Mountain!"

Wang Qi smiled, did not answer Pu Yuanxiao's words, and ordered: "Come here!"

"exist!"

A soldier entered from outside his tent.

Wang Qi ordered: "Send down the order to pull Ma Changtong out and chop him up."
