Chapter 500: Welcome the King's Division! (Seeking monthly tickets)
The fire in Jiangzhou City that day was so fierce and swift that the man was still asleep and had gathered up the red cloth that his wife had sewed. Strangely enough, the young ladies said that it was what the prime minister wanted.

But until now, the Prime Minister has not come to ask for it.

No one was sent to take it.

He was a little worried, so he put the thing away carefully. He couldn't sleep the whole night yesterday, and the next day he heard a lot of noise outside, like a chaotic army fighting.

He hurried out, pulled his wife back, and entered their cramped little house, locking the door tightly. Then the man held a hammer and hit things with his eyes wide open and bloodshot.

In his mind, he repeated all the gods and immortals that he knew and didn’t know.

I hope the gods will open their eyes, have mercy and bless them.

I hope there is some kind of wise man out there who can show mercy and rescue them.

Talk about the compassionate Buddha.

Talking about the Bodhisattva who is compassionate and saves people from suffering.

Say that the Lord Tianzun is merciful and the Great Emperor is benevolent.

But why not save people?
But there was a lot of noise outside, and the sound was so loud that it made people very scared. I didn't know what was going on. After a long silence, I suddenly heard the sound of staggering footsteps, and then someone banged on the door.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

The man and his wife recognized the sound.

It’s Manager Li.

So he hurriedly dropped the hammer in his hand, clasped together his big hands that were used to hard work, rubbed them together, then bent over habitually, leaned forward, trotted over, and opened the door in a panic.

He was so flustered that he accidentally knocked over the wood blocking the door. He was in a panic and looked very embarrassed.

After finally opening the door, he flattered her, "Manager Li, you're finally here. What happened? Why didn't you come to get the colorful cloths that we promised you before..."

Manager Li also looked a little embarrassed. His clothes were covered with a lot of dust, which looked like the traces of mice running around in the house. After he came in, he gasped and asked, "Where's the stuff?"

"Hey, hey, things, come here, wife, take them out quickly."

The man and his wife shouted.

The woman took out the things, all in a flattering manner, not daring to get angry, and respectfully handed over the colored cloth, saying, "It is well embroidered, all according to the pattern given by the girls, it is really well embroidered."

Manager Li impatiently opened it, and after just one look, he flew into a rage. He clasped his hands together, crumpled the thing into a ball, threw it out viciously, and cursed: "What the hell did you embroider?!"

He also has some martial arts skills.

In addition, he was shocked and angry at this time, so he threw the weapon and hit the woman on the forehead. She fell backwards with her head tilted back. Blood oozed from her head. She groaned in pain, then held her head with both hands and curled up her body.

It was so painful, but I dared not say a word or cry out in pain.

When you cry out in pain at home, it is because you know that your family is there, they are worried, concerned, and take care of you. When someone is taking care of you, the fear and pain will flow out through your tears, and your heart will no longer hurt.

You don't cry out in pain outside because you know no one will care. On the contrary, if you cry out, it will disturb his ears and make him feel irritated and unhappy, and he will hit you even harder.

So I had to treat myself as a rotten piece of wood or a ball of rag, rolled myself up into a ball, and endured the beatings. When the pain and numbness came, the pain in my heart would no longer occur.

Manager Li was extremely angry. He knew the changes in the world, knew that the King of Qin's army was outside, and knew that the time had come to decide whether he could have the same good life as he did now in the second half of his life.

The key point lies in the colorful cloth, but this cheap thing has embroidered words on it. What kind of words are they?

It turned out that she was illiterate, and she embroidered the four characters "Welcome the Royal Teacher" so wrong and crooked that it was almost unreadable. How could such a thing be shown to His Majesty the King of Qin?
My life, my future, damn it, damn it!

Under this tremendous pressure, he was almost going crazy. He had lost his usual reserve and just wanted to vent. He didn't even know what to do or what his purpose was. He just vented his fear in his heart and kicked the woman to vent his unwillingness.

The man was stunned. He was at a loss, then he immediately rushed over, pulled Manager Li, and said with a smile: "Hey, Manager Li, what are you doing... Is there anything wrong..."

Manager Li shouted angrily: "Get lost!!"

He flicked his sleeves, and the man was thrown out and hit the wall. He was in so much pain that tears came out. He almost recited all the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in his heart, but it was no use.

When Manager Li realized that he was completely cornered and had no hope, he seemed to have a mental breakdown and could only express his emotions by committing violence.

"You scream, you scream, you vile thing!"

"Ugly and black, a bastard, a bastard!"

"You have ruined my future, and you cry and beg me!"

The woman just kept silent despite the rain of attacks. The man wept and knelt to beg, shouting, but no one answered him. He kowtowed, crying and shouting:

"The Buddha of great compassion."

"The compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."

"Lord Tianzun, please have mercy on us. Grandpa Emperor, please be kind and virtuous. Please help us!"

There was no response, only the furious attack and the wife gradually fainting, with blood flowing. The man's head was buzzing, and he thought of his childhood, when his family still had some land, and when there were temple fairs, he would ride in a small boat and push through the reeds to go to other villages.

The woman I saw on the wooden bridge next to the stage was wearing a white dress and had black hair. She was looking at me brightly. There were few stars in the sky and the water was dark. I was sitting on a boat, swaying in the waves, as if I was swaying in the eyes of the woman.

My mind is buzzing.

He saw the hammer soaked in blood.

With his hand extended, Manager Li ignored the man behind him. He just panted and looked at the woman who didn't move at all. He didn't use his internal strength, but simply vented his anger with his fists and feet.

For a warrior at his level, internal energy is still relatively precious.

You have to save it for your escape.

He spat and said, "You bastard, the grass growing on the ground, if you cut it, it will grow again. How dare you..."

Buzz! ! ! !

If your ears suddenly start to ring, that is not the so-called tinnitus.

Instead, the hammer hit him hard on the back of the head. The blunt weapon broke the armor and cracked the bones. The severe pain and the massive blood loss made the body instinctively unable to adapt. Manager Li turned around and saw the man raising the hammer with tears in his eyes.

Then smash it down hard!
"Wait a minute, let's talk it over nicely, are you trying to commit a crime...Ah!!!"

Manager Li's suddenly panicked voice was interrupted by a fierce scream. A warrior who failed to enter the country was hit hard on the back of the head with a hammer. The intense pain made him unable to react at all.

The man was in tears. He grasped the hammer, swung it in a circle, and smashed it down fiercely. Each time he seemed to use up all his strength, he cried and shouted:
"The Buddha of great compassion."

"The compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."

"Lord Tianzun is merciful, and Grandpa Emperor is kind and benevolent!"

He prayed to all the gods and Buddhas, and then, one by one, he used up all his strength and the last of his courage to beat Manager Li, the man who used to be so high and mighty, like a god, to pieces.

He was hammered into a ball of flesh and blood.

He used too much force and even bruised his wrist. Finally, looking at the master who had turned into a pile of rotten flesh and mud, his wrist trembled, and the hammer fell to the ground with a clang, and he gasped heavily.

It turns out there are no gods or Buddhas in the world.

It turns out that all the gods and Buddhas in the world are not as useful as the hammer in his hand.

He was in a daze, then staggered and ran over there, helping his wife up. When the wife opened her eyes, the man was sad and happy, and choked up, "I'm glad you're okay..."

The man who had just beaten someone to death curled up in the woman's arms like a child. The woman reached out and patted his broad but weak back. She lowered her voice, whispered softly, but the ending tone rose again, and said:

"He's so stupid."

“I’ve been beaten many times.”

"We know how to make him enjoy the game without hurting ourselves."

The man looked up and saw the dark eyes he had seen when he was young. There was a cunning look in them, and only a little light remained. The man sat up, wiped the tears from his face with a few hasty strokes, and said, "What should I do?"

"Can't run away."

"So be it."

The man helped the woman up and wanted to run, run far away, away from here, to a remote place in the wilderness, where they could survive by just having a little land and some food, chewing tree bark and eating weeds.

But at this time, he was at a loss. He saw the flames rising and spreading everywhere. Jiangzhou City, the capital of the State of Chen, the most magnificent and prosperous city in the entire Central Plains was engulfed in flames.

The man's eyes were filled with despair.

He looked at the hammer, but seemed to relax and didn't care about it anymore. But suddenly he lowered his head, picked up the colorful cloth that the steward didn't want, and wrapped it around his wife, thinking that it was embroidered badly and not worthy of the majesty of the King of Qin.

“What a nice fabric.”

The woman rubbed the colorful cloth carefully with her cheek.

The man looked at her and said, "She's really beautiful!"

The flames rose, and only at this moment, they seemed to unload all these heavy things, as if they had become the young people in front of the dim temple fair many, many years ago.

This fire is pretty good.

The man thought about it, and he hugged the woman tightly, intending to use his body to resist the raging fire. However, at this desperate yet relieved moment, a roar suddenly came from the air.

The roar was deep, but it didn't sound scary. Instead, it made people feel peaceful. They subconsciously raised their heads and saw an animal that only appeared in mythology walking on flames, rising into the air, and then raising its head and roaring.

The flames that were about to burn suddenly solidified and flew towards the sky. Thousands of fires gathered together and fell on the Fire Kirin. The man was stunned.

The flames rose up, as if carrying gusts of scorching wind upwards, and the scarlet cloth wrapped around it also flew up, reaching the air and spreading out violently.

He suddenly had a feeling that he didn't recognize those four words, but he probably knew what kind of emotion and meaning this line of text represented.

say--

Welcome Master Wang.

After Chen Dingye left, Li Guanyi led his troops into Jiangzhou City and used the heavily armored Qilin Army to prevent the collapse of order that would have occurred in such a panic, and then checked whether there were other backup plans left by Chen Dingye. However, after spending almost a day on a simple investigation, the conclusions they reached were enough to shock everyone.

"The fire barely burned towards the people. Or rather, it was taken away by the Fire Kirin before it even started. Strange, didn't that old fellow Chen Dingye know the power of the Fire Kirin long ago? How dare he set fire in front of the king?!"

Southwest King Duan Qingyu was puzzled.

In the Qilin Army, there was a general of the previous generation who had the ability to withstand pressure. He had faced the combined forces of Duke Taiping and King Shenwu many times, but he was still able to run away, and he ran away several times in a row, each time going to fight.

Lose every time.

I'll come back even if I lose.

At the same time, Qilin Army's contemporary stress-resistant king Yue Qianfeng stroked his beard and put forward a very unique opinion, saying: "Maybe this kid has finally messed up his brain, but there are other things that are even more confusing..."

Yue Qianfeng touched his chin and said, "The inner city was burned quite badly."

There are inner city and outer city in the city, although there is no clear distinction, but with the Chen State Palace as the center, the more high-ranking officials and the more popular figures in the court, the closer their residence is to the palace, and the more favored they are.

In the past, this was the difference between inside and outside. In the eyes of the nobles in the inner city, other people in Jiangzhou had no right to say that they lived in the capital of Dachen. They were just civilians who provided them with many conveniences.

But this time, the flames almost only burned the dignitaries and famous people from aristocratic families in the inner city.

There were trenches dug in advance to prevent the fire from spreading outward. The flames were so raging that they had already burned out before Chen Dingye climbed up the city wall and decided to burn the city down. The real fire had already burned out.

The fire that was lit afterwards was almost like a show.

Moreover, after Yue Qianfeng and Duan Qingyu investigated, they discovered an even more shocking scene.

In many aristocratic families, not a single person was left alive, regardless of whether they were innocent or not, whether they were kind-hearted or not, all were beheaded. The corpses were piled together and burned to ashes along with the precious land deeds and indentures of the aristocratic families, creating a shocking scene.

Yue Qianfeng is considered a fierce general on the battlefield. He is invincible on the battlefield. The weapons in his hands are double halberds which are best for fighting. He also has the magical skill of Red Dragon Shocking the Nine Provinces, and his hands are bloody.

But even for someone like him, facing what happened in Jiangzhou City, he still felt a sense of creepiness:
"Burn the covenant and kill the Confucian scholars."

"I'm afraid this guy's reputation in the future will be ruined."

"In the past, I felt that Chen Dingye's methods were too cruel, but today, using these methods on these bastards with their eyes on their butts, I felt very happy."

"After all, even Brother Wen He and Wen Qingyu wouldn't be so cruel."

"The Chen family has been around for three hundred years. How noble and successful must they be to be able to live near the imperial palace? How many years of business must it have taken to be able to stand in this Jiangzhou city, with its roots intertwined throughout the world, just like the roots of an old tree."

"Have you seen it? There is a kind of tree whose roots are much bigger than those of the trees above. Much bigger and densely packed. When you dig it out and take a look, you will see some rotten corpses of rats hanging on the roots."

"This time, Chen Dingye completely wiped out this family."

"Damn, it's really neat. Damn, this method is more efficient, fierce, and direct than Yan Daiqing's... ahem, I mean, compared to that brother Wen Qingyu. The strategy is really not as good as just swinging and chopping."

Yue Qianfeng was filled with emotion.

Before coming in, Duan Qingyu knew what Chen Dingye had done and was very disdainful of it. But when he saw Fencheng, he felt something was wrong. How come this brat who was easy to bully back then now has a bit of the crazy blood of the old Chen family?

When I came in and took another look, I was shocked.

How come this thing is scarier than that old wolf Chen Fubi before he died? !
Are the people in your Chen family all the more terrifying the more desperate the situation is?
Duan Qingyu, the King of the Southwest, had a buzzing feeling in his head.

He felt that he could not keep up with the pace of the entire Central Plains. What was this? A tyrant? Or a hero?
He used to think that among the Chen State lineage, only Prime Minister Chen was difficult to deal with.

Now I feel that if I were to go against Chen Dingye, I would probably be killed.

Is this the so-called king who has finally emerged from three hundred years of chaos?

Duan Qingyu sighed in his heart, feeling speechless, but his eyes fell on the young and steady King Qin. For a moment, he felt that living too comfortably in Jiuli, in the southwest, did not seem to be a good thing.

It is almost unable to keep up with the changes in the Central Plains.

No matter what, no matter how many clever plans and schemes there were before.

In the end, the noble families and officials never expected Chen Dingye's sword.

All the top official families, civil and military officials, who had been intertwined and absorbed the blood and flesh of Dachen for three hundred years, were killed, and everyone from top to bottom was burned to ashes.

Those indentures and property deeds that had been obtained through various schemes and means before were burned by the fire, and mixed with the dust of the bones and corpses, they were considered clean.

Chen Dingye's methods are brutal and brutal, with cold and efficient means.

But he was so crazy and determined that he wanted to kill these bugs before the fall of the Chen Dynasty. The king was about to destroy his country and himself, but he didn't care about the so-called innocence. He swept the long sword in his hand without caring at all.

All the nobles are loyal ministers and capable generals, and they should go first.

Your families will be here soon.

Li Guanyi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is the person I asked you to find?"

Yue Qianfeng replied, "The Queen and the others are still here, but the Ye family and the Zhou family seem to have been swept up by Chen Dingye's army and headed north, towards Zhenbei City."

"There are still a large army at the border in Zhenbei City."

Li Guanyi said: "Where are Dai Qing's parents?"

Yue Qianfeng sighed, "...He was also taken away, but I found a letter left by Dai Qing's father in the house. I haven't read it yet. I'll take it back and show it to Dai Qing."

Li Guanyi frowned tightly, and finally exhaled slowly, saying:

"Let's go and take a look at the situation first..."

Li Guanyi personally entered the inner city and saw that the once luxurious mansions had become a mess. Under the flames, the fine fragrant woods turned black and the silks fell to the ground.

In the inner treasury, the brocade turned to ashes, and the bones of the dukes and ministers fell into the ditch.

The place was filled with desolation, tragedy, and murderous atmosphere.

The King of Qin was somewhat shocked when he saw this scene.

"The inner treasury was burned to ashes, and the streets were trampled with the bones of the nobles..."

"When I was young, I never thought of saying this."

“The one who finally did it all.”

"It's Chen Dingye."

The King of Qin walked into the palace and saw Queen Xue who was in a trance. When Queen Xue saw the King of Qin, her expression was a little complicated. She was actually a little scared in her heart. After all, her child was the blood of the Emperor of Chen.

He was considered the crown prince of the State of Chen, and the King of Qin in front of him was the one who almost wanted to destroy the State of Chen. There was almost a natural conflict and hostility between the two of them.

She took a deep breath and was about to salute, but was helped up by the King of Qin.

The King of Qin said in a gentle and calm voice: "It's only been seven years since we last met, Aunt Xue, why are you being so distant?"

Queen Xue raised her head and looked at King Qin.

But he seemed to see the clever and heroic young man seven years ago. His expression was complicated. He sighed and said, "Guan Yi, this child is a miserable person... Chen Dingye erased his memory."

Li Guanyi stroked Chen Tianyi's hair and said, "The eldest lady is still in Guanyi City. Aunt Xue, you haven't been home for a long time, right? Old Xue must have missed you. You have been in this palace for many years. It's time to go home."

Queen Xue was in a trance for a long time, with a look on her face as if she were in another world:
"Go home...?"

"Ah."

The King of Qin nodded. He comforted and settled Queen Xue and the others, then walked slowly into the palace of the State of Chen. There was no one in the palace, it was quiet, lonely, empty and deep. The King of Qin walked up the white jade steps, followed by the generals on both sides.

In the end, the King of Qin saw the death of those nobles, but he didn't care.

Yue Qianfeng, Duan Qingyu and the others stood at the back, not daring to move forward. They just watched the young king walk through the most majestic place in the State of Chen, the hall with the highest power in the State of Chen, and watched the Qin King's civil and military sleeves waving.

The King of Qin walked to the highest position, raised his hand and pressed it on the dragon throne next to him.

The sleeves of the robe are rolled up.

Duan Qingyu subconsciously held his breath and lowered his head, and Yue Qianfeng also felt as if he finally felt the spirit of creating the world and a country, and the majesty of a king carried by the back of the figure in front of him.

Li Guan turned sideways and suddenly asked, "Is this thing pure gold?"

"It must be worth a lot of money, right? If I take it back and sell it to Dai Qing, will he be happy?"

"All the logistical holes can be filled."

Duan Qingyu: “…………”

Yue Qianfeng: “…………”

The generals were silent, then their faces were tense, their shoulders were shaking violently, and tears were about to burst out. They almost thought about the most uncomfortable things in their lives. The corners of the King of Qin's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Forget it."

"Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in."

The generals could not control themselves and burst into laughter. The sound of their joyful laughter rose to the sky. Li Guanyi sat casually on the dragon throne, crossed his legs, supported his chin with his hands, and looked at them and the world with a smile. The atmosphere was relaxed.

Whether it was capturing the capital of the State of Chen or entering the imperial palace of the State of Chen.

Regardless of whether Chen Dingye’s behavior was considered as moving the capital in this era.

Or abandon the city.

Li Guanyi felt that there was actually no difference.

If I have to say, there is indeed one.

Starting today.

The world is so vast, and no one, whether friend or foe, calls him "Your Highness" anymore.

They all address him with respect as Your Majesty.
