Wei Yu didn't know why Qiao Yu suddenly invited Yin Yu to come at this time, it was impossible for Yin Yu to enlighten him, but it was better for Qiao Yu to do something than just sit here, Wei Yu nodded and walked out quickly.

Something happened to Mei Yingxian?Qiao Yu pressed his fingers between his eyebrows.

Yin Yu walked in ignorantly, but the beautiful girl was not around.

"Joe Xiang?"

Qiao Yu said: "Sit, sir." He signaled Wei Qi to close the door and go out.

A trace of undisguised panic flashed across Yin Yu's eyes, and he said, "Caomin dare not."

Qiao Yu smiled lightly, "Sir, you are being polite." He poured tea, but only poured a cup for himself, "Sir, if you dare to rebel, why not?"

Yin Yu looked at him in astonishment, if there were four other people in the room besides the three of them, they would definitely think him crazy.

Yin Yu looked like an ordinary teacher no matter how he looked at it. Hearing Qiao Yu's rebellion, what was shown on his face was real panic, not fake. His face was pale, and his thin body seemed unable to stand. Holding on to the tea table, things on the table shook wildly.

Qiao Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and did not put down the cup until Yin Yu calmed down.

Yin Yu said in a trembling voice, "Caomin doesn't understand." He seemed to be startled by the sudden charge of treason, and he waited for a long time before he could say a complete sentence, "Caomin really doesn't understand, Caomin...does it make me feel uncomfortable to put down the rebellion? Waiting for innocent people to take the blame?" He didn't know where the courage came from, and he seemed to vent his dissatisfaction with Qingzhou's officials of all dynasties on Qiao Yu, "Caominyuan thought that adults are different from other officials, but it turned out to be the same?"

His face was full of sadness and anger, which made people unbearably moved.

"Since your lord says that the grass-roots are rebelling, the grass-folk have nothing to say."

Qiao Yu blinked, as if watching a play that was not difficult to watch on the stage, "Sir, I respect you for having a plan and ordering someone to invite you here instead of being tied up. Why do you still need to act, sir? What about lowering the price?"

Yin Yu sneered, "Of course it's what Qiao Xiang said."

Qiao Yu sighed lightly.

He originally thought that Yin Yu was very smart. If he was Yin Yu, he would try his best to negotiate terms with the court with the rebels in his hands, instead of blindly fighting among himself and putting on a show in front of him at a time like this.

"Xu Zhi is from Zhongzhou." Qiao Yu said, "He was also sent by the person who provided the armor for Mr." He pointed to the seat opposite him, "Please sit down, Mr. Yu. Don't you want to know the truth and how to know the inside story?" Is it?"

Qiao Yu's words were so firm that she put all the evidence in front of Yin Yu.

Yin Yu stared at him blankly, and after a long while, actually sat on the seat Qiao Yu pointed at.

As soon as he sat down, the frail teacher changed. The panic in his brows disappeared completely. Instead, he was confident and confident that he was in control of the overall situation. He nodded slightly, "I really want to know."

Right now, Qiao Yu doesn't have any troops to use in Qingzhou. No matter how domineering he looks at this moment, it is ridiculous to Yin Yu, or Mr. Yu.

Qiao Yu said: "Because news from the Governor's Mansion, no matter whether it's true or not, can always reach the rebels as soon as possible. Truth thought that someone must have planted spies by his side, and Mr. Yu never showed up. So, truthful Just a guess."

Mr. Yu sighed softly, "After all, I don't have the ability to act."

Qiao Yu nodded, "Mr.'s posture is really suspicious. You can't do without doubting the truth."

Among the many documents in the Governor's Mansion, Yin Yu was by no means the most suspicious, he was so ordinary and a local, even Wei Yu hadn't noticed him.

It can be said that he plays a teacher with meticulous attention to detail, but Qiao Yu is used to seeing people acting in plays. He could pretend to be crazy for several years in order to save his life, so that Yuan Zanbi, who knew him best, didn't know whether it was true or not. Pretend to be a cripple, or a cripple who is loyal to the emperor, Yin Yu's little trick is like a blank sheet of paper in his eyes.

Mr. Yu said: "I originally thought that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and you can still inquire about news, why not?"

Qiao Yu also laughed, "But it's not safe now."

Mr. Yu stood proudly, "Even if Qiao Xiang kills me now, so what, Qingzhou is under my control, even if Qiao Xiang kills me, he will still die."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yu ran in, knelt down and said, "Mr. Qiao, please report urgently, the rebels are attacking!"

Qiao Yu pinched her fingers imperceptibly.

Mr. Yu smiled and looked at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu muttered to himself: "Mr. sent the letter really quickly, did you confirm that Yuan Zanbi was dead and gave the order?"

Mr. Yu said, "Qiao Xiang is very smart."

He said Qiao Yu was smart, but he didn't mean to praise Qiao Yu at all in his tone.

He smiled slightly and said: "I heard that Qiao Xiang is the orphan of Ning You's ten-year case, and the court has a deep blood feud with Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu also laughed, with a more domineering posture than Mr. Yu, "I advise you not to waste your words on me. Your words can impress others, but you can't impress the truth."

Wei Wei was shocked.

Mr. Yu asked curiously, "Why?"

"Mr.'s rebels under his command are nothing more than promises of wealth, honor, honor, marquis and chancellor, and even longevity. The latter cannot be forced. I already have everything for the former. As far as the truth is concerned, Mr. Dao is useless."

"The so-called hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Mr. Yu nodded, but his face suddenly sank, and said: "What if I say that I am for justice? Qiao Xiang doesn't know, I am just An ordinary teacher in Taoxi City, he was born in a poor family, and his qualifications are even more mediocre, he has no hope of becoming an official, and he only hopes to do his best to pass on the words of the sage, so that he can make a living in front of him."

"Qingzhou suffers from floods every year, and death is inevitable. This year is different? Does Qiao Xiang know what the difference is?"

Qiao Yu said: "I would like to hear the details."

Mr. Yu said: "Your Majesty's eyes are becoming more and more intolerable to the aristocratic family. This exam is even more frightening for the Qingzhou aristocratic family. Those who have power in the court have no worries. Some have already fallen, and those who have long been unknown in the court are sitting on pins and needles. In the next flood, I tried my best to collect money for squandering enjoyment. If the situation of Shilu and Shiqing is broken, these noble children don’t work hard and don’t know the grain. Take the noble children I saw in Raoyuan, who have no ancestors. Yes, we are what Qiao Xiang said. The rebels dared to close the gate when they came and had no time to run. There was not much food in the house, and the servants all fled. So half a month later we looked at them and saw them neatly dressed, in a magnificent place. starved to death in his compound." Mr. Yu's tone was extremely mocking, "Qiao Xiang, if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you believe that the descendants of these families whose ancestors also produced famous powerful officials and generals are so incompetent and short-sighted?"

Qiao Yu nodded approvingly, but said: "Then you should agree with His Majesty?"

Mr. Yu looked at Qiao Yu, "Does Qiao really not know?"

Qiao Yu asked back, "What should I know?"

Mr. Yu almost sneered, "Why is Your Majesty worrying about the world? He just doesn't want the family to become powerful and repeat the mistakes of Ning You for ten years. Even Ning You's reform is just a solution His Majesty came up with to balance the court situation It’s just the law! The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken crowing for thousands of miles. If no one shakes His Majesty’s authority, will our Majesty open his eyes to see the people of Liming under his Majesty Dan?!”

How could the emperor care if the aristocratic family colluded with the officials to deduct money and food for disaster relief?

If only 10,000+ people died and no one resisted, would the emperor send Yuanzanbi and Qiao Yu here?

This majesty has never looked down. The officials are incompetent, the court is chaotic, and the princes are constantly fighting with each other. How could it not be the product of this majesty's balance?

If there were no rebels, I'm afraid the emperor would still be complacent about his own methods!

Mr. Yu's pale face was flushed abnormally, and he took a breath, "Qiao Xiang, Qingzhou has suffered from floods for decades. If the emperor really wanted to, he would have sent someone to control the river. He acquiesced in corruption by officials, but just let it go. The benefits brought are much more than the benefits brought by the Thunder method. The flood in Qingzhou has killed millions of people. What I have done today is just for the justice of heaven."

Qiao Yu looked at Mr. Yu calmly, he knew that even if the rebels really captured Qingzhou, Mr. Yu's life would not be long, he was about to die.

It's really... admirable for a dying person who has been suffering from a long illness to have such mental strength and step by step.

"Many years ago, I heard that when Yuan Zanying died, His Majesty cried bitterly. He would not drink or eat for three days in front of the ancestral hall, praying for blessings every year, and wishing that Yuan Zanying would have no worries in the next life." Mr. Yu smiled wryly. Ten thousand people, has His Majesty seen it with his eyes?"

……

The fishy wind bursts.

Ju Qi did not collapse like a mountain as Xu Zhi thought, but responded properly and counterattacked quickly.

Xu Zhi looked coldly at the city tower not far away. His long hair was tied up, fluttering in the wind, and his makeup was wiped off. He was actually quite a handsome young man.

When he heard the news about Mr. Yu, he thought it was safe. The city was not prepared before, but now the siege engine was already under the city.

There was a sudden noise on the tower.

He squinted his eyes, only seeing a mass of black.

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Send the order down, retreat!"

But it was too late, translucent oil splashed down from the sky, before the soldiers under the city could react, they were poured all over their faces.

In the next second, thousands of arrows poured down, and the arrows were on fire, and they exploded when they encountered oil.

The heat wave swept across, Xu Zhi could see blood and flames everywhere, and the smell of burning had already blown in front of him.

The formation collapsed in an instant, and many people panicked and jumped into the moat.

The gate of the city was wide open, and soldiers from Qingzhou poured out like a tide.

A man next to Xu Zhi grabbed his collar, his roar was almost inaudible amidst the chaotic hooves of the horses, "What's going on, didn't you say it was safe? Didn't you say that the Yuanzan pen is dead, and those kerosene are all dead?" Was it blown up to the sky!"

Xu Zhi's pupils trembled, and the young man's slender hands grabbed the man's shoulders and threw him forward.

Blood flowers poured out.

The man's body trembled, but his huge eyes were still fixed on him.

Xu Zhi let go of her hand.

The body fell to the ground with a thud.

The arrow stuck in the corpse was still shaking.

Yuan Zan pen put down his bow.

Xu Zhi said loudly: "Pass on my order, the rear will change to the front, retreat!"

At this time, it seems that they will die regardless of whether they obey the order or not, but obeying the order may not die so quickly. The army flustered for a while, and then barely stabilized, as Xu Zhi said, changing formations and retreating.

Xu Zhi gritted her teeth.

A rain of arrows followed.

The stroke of Yuan Zan's pen was really overwhelming, and the army trampled countless times, and morale plummeted.

Obviously many people saw the death of Yuan Zanbi, and the spies reported that Qiao Yu was in despair, and the only usable Mei Yingqin also had an accident, how could...

Xu Zhi was taken aback.

He finally realized why he kept feeling wrong.

Because, everything went so smoothly!

He turned Yin Yu into a statue, convinced the displaced people, and helped Yin Yu stir up wind and rain in Qingzhou. The aristocratic family turned a blind eye to their actions out of interests.

Such a big thing as treason seems to be done lightly.

Qiao and Yuan came, and they were capable of rectifying the local area, but they didn't make much progress in the military.

Later, Yuan Zanbi was assassinated, Mei Yingxian was poisoned, and Qiao Yu was alone and helpless.

Xu Zhi almost gritted her teeth.

The horse galloped, and he turned around and swung his sword to knock down the sword rain.

Xiaoxue reined in the horse, went to Yuan Zanbi, and said: "My lord, do you want to chase?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Don't chase."

Xiaoxue looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Don't the poor come after you?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Let the army advance sixty miles and station outside Raoyuan City, and release the news that our army will not stop anyone who wants to go out of the city, and will not pursue them. They will still return to the imperial court to rule the city like ordinary people. Give land and food."

Xiaoxue said: "Where are the resisters?"

Yuan Zanbi lowered his eyes and saw a piece of charred corpse.

The setting sun and the blood of the moat complement each other, the corpses float on the water, and the kerosene and the smell of burning are mixed together, which is a scene that is rarely seen in hell on earth.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Except for the mastermind, there probably won't be any."

Qingzhou rebels, the army is a minority, most of them are ordinary people who cannot survive.

If there is food to rely on, even if they live like dogs, they will not rebel.

What Yuan Zan pen holds is a dead man's bow.

He lightly rubbed the name on the bow and arrow, and said, "Let's march."

After this battle, the morale of the rebel army must have been greatly dissipated, and there were previous attempts to persuade them to surrender, but they were treated as a joke by the rebel army.

The march of the army was full of corpses. Most of the Qingzhou army had never fought, but they were not afraid, but their morale increased greatly.

Because everyone saw a bright future, a road related to success and fame.

Yuan Zanbi was silent all the way.

He is not a talkative person, and he is even more silent today.

Xiaoxue saw that his expression was indifferent, but she didn't know where to look, so she couldn't help but said: "My lord is in a bad mood?"

Yuan Zanbi shook his head and said, "You said earlier that you wanted officials to govern Qingzhou."

Xiaoxue nodded.

Yuan Zan pen said: "Your sister asked me to tell you, not to mention whether I can intervene, even if I do intervene, I will send officials here. After I wait a hundred years, what will Qingzhou do? What about the state?"

Xiaoxue was slightly startled.

For a boy his age, it was really difficult to think about these things.

When he was with Yuan Zanbi, he killed people much less than he used his brain.

Xiaoxue said: "Everything is a solution to the symptoms but not the root cause." The wind blew the young man's hair, "Please make it clear, my lord."

Yuan Zanbi did not speak again.

Back then, Yuan Zanying really came up with a good idea. He wanted everyone to live like a human being.

But he died.

After that, no matter how turbulent the government was, how corrupt the family was, and how it colluded with officials, the methods proposed by people of insight were just a drop in the bucket.

Because the fate of the Ningyou party members can be seen clearly by everyone, the Ningyou party inscriptions are still standing everywhere in the Wei Dynasty.

……

Xu Zhi retreated to Raoyuan City.

The Yuanzan pen is not near or far from Rao Yuan, allowing them to see it without preventing them from going out of the city.

People in the city were panicked and chaotic.

The spies who spread the rumors mentioned by the Japanese hairpin pen have indeed come in handy today.

Xu Zhi listened to the reports from his subordinates with a blank face, and explained in detail how the imperial court would treat the rebels. Those who put down their weapons will not be killed, and they are still the same as ordinary people.

Except the mastermind.

Except for the mastermind, of course.

The generals appointed by Mr. Yu hurried to Xu Zhi's study, and asked anxiously, "Have you heard the rumors in the city?"

Xu Zhi said: "Most of the rumors in the city have bad intentions, but they are just to disturb the morale of the army, what's the point?"

He is a young man, and he speaks with the arrogance of a young man.

It's just that this kind of arrogance can't play any role in the chaotic Raoyuan City Inspector's study. On the contrary, everyone looked at this young man with both annoyance and resentment in their hearts.

"My lord, I wonder if Mr. Yu has any other plans?"

Xu Zhi almost wanted to sneer.

What is Mr. Yu's plan?

What can he do?

He is just a puppet who was supported up, but it is a pity that a chess piece thinks that he is a chess player. If you are greedy for pleasure, it doesn't count if you can't help a little, and now you have to disturb the morale of the army!

Xu Zhi pulled out a smile, "What's your opinion, Master Chu?"

The man whom Xu Zhi called Master Chu was silent for a moment, and said: "The imperial court sent Yuan Qiao and two people here, and the two of them are considered..." He paused, "Work hard, Qingzhou is not what it used to be, we did treat it earlier The imperial court is dissatisfied, but it is also because the imperial court has not done anything, and sent such an official today." He looked at Xu Zhi's face, and said all the words in one breath, "Besides, Yuan Zanbi also said not to pursue it, as he said. Such a status and official position, probably promises a thousand gold, and will not lie."

Xu Zhi knocked on the table and said, "Master Chu, do you know what it means to get rid of the mastermind?"

That Master Chu's complexion turned pale.

Xu Zhi sneered: "Ordinary people, Yuanzanbi, may let the past go. Like a few adults who have been promoted to noble status, will Yuanzanpen be let go? You are all good heads in other people's achievements, and Yuanzanbi can't be blamed. Killing you, how can it appear that he has meritorious service?"

Xu Zhi's words were extremely mean.

Master Chu's face was pale and red, he pulled out his sword suddenly, and stabbed at Xu Zhi.

The figure of the young man was erratic and disappeared in an instant.

Master Chu was taken aback for a moment, and the next moment, severe pain swept over him.

He vomited a few mouthfuls of blood in a row, piercing through the clothes on his chest.

Xu Zhi drew out his saber.

His face was calm, and he was not annoyed by the surprise attack at all.

The maidservant turned pale with fright.

Xu Zhi wiped his sword with his sleeve.

The blade is clear.

Xu Zhi faced the sword, as if admiring her own appearance in the sword.

He said: "Even if you kill me, it will only appear that you are a slave of the three surnames. Both Qiao Yuan and Qiao Yuan can't tolerate sand in their eyes. Instead of fighting among themselves, it is better to fight to the death. Maybe they can die and survive."

How could the people in the room dare to speak, they looked at the boy tremblingly.

"Go down." He said.

Several people left as if they were granted amnesty.

Xu Zhi ordered: "Burn the study."

His hands were taken aback, "My lord?"

"Burn the study." He repeated blankly, "Burn it clean."

Seeing that his complexion was not good, his subordinates hurriedly ran down.

Xu Zhi blew on the sword.

His hair fell on the sword and instantly split in two.

Such a sharp sword was given to him by his master before he left.

Xu Zhi sat on the chair.

In any case, what he did in Qingzhou is not a failure.

Before he left, every move his master said was still vivid in his memory.

"But if Qingzhou returns to the imperial court's control, isn't all this work in vain?" Xu Zhi asked. People know what his name is, "Please forgive me for being rude, I don't understand why the master wants to do this."

He smiled at the dignified and elegant man, "Qingzhou is just a little fire." He cut off the wick and blew it out gently, "while the other twelve states are firewood. What the court has done for many years is all To add fuel to the fire, even if there is a hairpin tassel, it is better than nothing." He put down the scissors, "The bigger the matter, the better, as for the result, it doesn't matter."

Xu Zhi nodded with a half understanding.

"But it's treason after all," the man asked him with a smile, "Aren't you afraid?"

Xu Zhi didn't understand what was so scary, he said doubtfully, "I will do whatever the master tells me to do." The young man's eyes were clear, "I'm not afraid."

Xu Zhi wiped the blood off the sword.

He remembered that the master seemed to be smiling, but he didn't seem to be smiling.

But he still hoped that the other party would smile more.

So the young man thought he understood the true meaning of the mission, he called his subordinates with a smile, and said: "Pass my order and tell Yuan Zanbi that if he doesn't retreat, I will kill him."

The subordinate was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Kill who?"

The young man smiled, his brows and eyes curved, "Massacre."

The man's sword fell with a snap.

Xu Zhi put on her clothes and walked out of the mansion leisurely.

Behind him, flames flew.

He also had the dead soldiers brought from Zhongzhou, and he ordered people to take out the kerosene for the siege, and ordered it to be poured all over the place.

The loyal dead man obeys orders.

Xu Zhi went up to the tower.

There were screams and calls for help.

Xu Zhi was extremely satisfied.

Presumably the owner will also be satisfied.

He smiled, showing a satisfactory smile for the first time since coming to Qingzhou.

……

Someone came running and shouted: "There is a military report—"

Mr. Yu looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Do I need to avoid it? Qiao Xiang?"

Qiao Yu said lightly: "Read."

"Raoyuan has been destroyed, and the rebels are scattered. Everything is safe, but when the city of Raoyuan was destroyed, the rebels set fire to the city, and only waited for it to be rebuilt in the future." The visitor said loudly, "It's a letter from General Yuan!"

Qiao Yu smiled.

In Mr. Yu's eyes, this smile is full of chances of winning.

Only Qiao Yu knew that his straight back finally relaxed slowly.

Because even he doesn't know what Yuan Zan pen wants to do, what Yuan Zan pen is doing, or whether Yuan Zan pen is alive or not.

Just relying on trust, he would not die so easily, so he cooperated quite well.

Now it seems that he really knows him very well.

The anger in Qiao Yu's heart was suppressed, and he wanted to finish the matter in front of him first.

Afterwards, when they saw the Yuanzan pen, they could settle accounts in a long way.

Mr. Yu took a sip of hot tea before suppressing the urge to cough.

Qiao Yu said softly: "Sir, he said he was doing it for justice, but he didn't see it. Xu Zhi killed and massacred the city and threatened General Yuan to retreat. There are many people involved in the burning of the city. Once the houses that were just built were burned down, how many people lost their wives and children in the fire?" Disintegrated, families destroyed?" He said in a soft, malicious tone, "Compared with military disasters and flood disasters, which one kills more?" He looked at Mr. Yu with eyes that seemed to dodge, "This is the axiom that Mr. said ?"

"Do not……"

"The truth knows what you want to say. You want to say that without the imperial court, you would not have come to where you are today, right?" Qiao Yu poured herself a cup of tea and held it in her cold hands, "Mr. Yu "The bright and vicious man chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, how can you openly say what kind of justice you want? You're just using power to suppress power."

What Qiao Yu said was light, but hit Mr. Yu's heart heavily, "No!" He said, almost coughing up blood.

"No? You disdain Ning You's reforms, thinking it's just a way for the emperor and his supporters to balance the court. Do you know that there are more than [-] articles in Ning You's laws that encourage poor families to become officials? It is the first time that the examination is listed as a Law? Do you know that there are dozens of papers tailored to local conditions in Qingzhou alone, all of which were written by Qingzhou scholars, and Yuan Zanying sorted them out by himself, and they are going to be implemented together?" He looked at Mr. Yu with pity, "Yuan Zanying Ying's painstaking efforts, it seems that Mister doesn't even know about it."

"In the world, those who are capable will take it, and once they succeed, all bones will be ruined." He still smiled, "It's a conspiracy, what can't be said? Sir, the foundation of this imperial court has been destroyed. It is nothing to overthrow it and build a new imperial court." ? But you have neither the determination to rebel nor carry out your so-called axiom."

Seeing that there was no hot tea in Mr. Yu's cup, he nodded slightly to the maidservant.

The maid understood and poured tea for him.

"Not just sir, many people want to change the dynasty." He said it so easily, Mr. Yu looked at Qiao Yu in astonishment.

"But the person who brought peace to all generations must not be Mr." Qiao Yu said leisurely and cruelly, "Because Mr. is just a sword borrowed to kill people."

"What did you say?" Mr. Yu suddenly stood up, "I am surrounded by children from Qingzhou, all from poor families, resenting the inhumanity of the family, and the inaction of the court, how can there be any excuse to kill?"

Qiao Yu put down the teacup, "Who is Xu Zhi?"

Mr. Yu was taken aback, "She came back to join relatives..."

"The poor little girl whose relatives just happened to die, right?" Qiao Yu continued, "She said she was from Ningzhou, but in fact, she was from Zhongzhou, and her name wasn't Xu Zhi, oh, she wasn't a girl yet. .Your army is commanded by him, and you allow him to burn, kill, loot, and do evil. Who does he belong to? I will tell you when I find out."

Mr. Yu's hands trembled.

Qiao Yu let him sit slumped on the chair, and said, "Sir, do you have nothing to say now?"

Mr. Yu said nothing.

Qiao Yu said: "I don't mean to show mercy wherever the imperial army goes, but I still want to send a warrant to my husband to make them surrender. Wouldn't it be better to end it as soon as possible?"

Surrendering at an early date seems to be the way to minimize casualties and losses at the moment.

Xu Zhi is already unpopular, Mr. Yu's words may be the last straw.

Mr. Yu covered his face with his hands, and said after a while, "For Mr. Qiao Xiangyuan, isn't it true that the more bandits you kill, the more officials you can get promoted?"

Qiao Yu said: "It's a pity that Zhenxiang is already an extremely human minister. The most important thing is that I want to meet Yuan Zanbi now."

The author has something to say:

Sorry, I've been too busy recently.
