Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

More than ten days later.

In a hunting ground in the paradise on earth, Jiang Nishang and Xie Yuanjing were hunting with arrows, but their targets were people.

Hundreds of people were thrown into the hunting ground. They were wearing prison uniforms. They were panicked, but ran for their lives. One of them was a pregnant woman. She covered her belly and kept running. She was exhausted and tripped by a small stone.

She didn't cry or shout, she just struggled hard and continued running forward.

whoosh-

An arrow pierced through her back and her stomach. She widened her eyes and fell down with the last bit of despair and resentment.

It turned out that Xie Yuanjing and Jiang Nishang were riding horses and shooting arrows to kill people, hunting people like animals. The arrow just now was shot by Xie Yuanjing.

Looking at the people running around, Xie Yuanjing laughed loudly. Jiang Nishang blushed and continued to shoot at them with arrows.

Jiang Nishang shot several arrows into the air and said indignantly, "No matter how fast you run, you will die. It's better to stand still and let us shoot."

"That's fun, isn't it?"

Xie Yuanjing jumped onto Jiang Nishang's horse, got close to her face, held her hand, held an arrow, and aimed it at a little girl who was still running forward with two arrows in her legs: "Come, I'll teach you."

With a whoosh, the girl's head was pierced and she died.

As arrows continued to be shot, the running figures fell to the ground one after another. Wailing, cursing, and gasping sounds echoed in the hunting ground. Blood dyed the land red, and even the air was filled with the breath of despair. Only the laughter of Xie Yuanjing and Jiang Nishang echoed in this land.

Wang Huanzhi followed behind on horseback, his expression unchanged, watching the scene quietly.

It was he who proposed the hunt this time, and these criminals were family members of officials who had offended Xie Yuanjing.

If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.

Since the Liang Dynasty is destined to end, let him make the flames of destruction burn even more fiercely and vigorously!

He wanted to use Xie Yuanjing to kill all the capable officials of Daliang.

Until finally there was no one available.

During this period, he acted like a villain. Capable and loyal ministers were framed and imprisoned by him, and treacherous villains were promoted to important positions by him. Most importantly, he came up with many absurd moves, such as this hunting trip, which led to his reputation as a treacherous eunuch.

This reputation can be compared with that of Zhao Gao of Qin.

Just then, news came that Yi'an County had fallen.

"What does Zhang Tiancheng do for a living? Fifty thousand soldiers and horses can be destroyed by five thousand soldiers and horses. What a waste, absolutely useless."

Being disturbed was already unpleasant, and now there was another piece of news. Xie Yuanjing was furious and ordered Wang Huanzhi directly: "Go, destroy all nine clans of this waste for me."

After receiving the order, Wang Huanzhi bowed respectfully on horseback and withdrew.

…………

Xie Lang led his troops on a winding and rugged path with an uneven road. There were endless rice fields on both sides of the road.

It is now mid-March, the best time for wheat planting, but the people working in the fields are all women and children. At a glance, there are few young and strong men. They must have been captured to build a paradise on earth.

Their faces were pale, and they were afraid of the army marching by in awe. They were afraid of the officers and soldiers because their presence meant conscription, taxation, and robbery.

Fortunately, Xie Lang issued strict military laws, which stipulated that during the march, no wheat seedlings should be trampled, no needle or thread should be taken from the people, and no civilians should be bullied.

However, there are always some people who cannot control themselves. After Xie Lang killed hundreds of soldiers in a row, they finally behaved themselves.

Seeing that the people were afraid of soldiers as if they were tigers, Xie Lang trained a professional team to explain to the people the differences between her soldiers and the court officials and soldiers.

I saw a few well-trained soldiers holding simple loudspeakers and shouting at the farmers in the fields:

"Fellow villagers, we will not take a single grain of rice or thread from you, nor will we trample on a single wheat seedling."

"...We are different from the imperial officers and soldiers. We are a righteous army. We are rising up for the people, to overthrow the tyranny of the emperor, and to allow the people who were captured and sent to the immortal realm to return home..."

At first, the people were skeptical, but when they saw that Xie Lang's army did not trample on a single wheat seedling or steal any property, they became more convinced.

This army is different from other armies.

An old man with a cane trembled to the middle of the road and blocked Xie Lang's way: "General, can you really let the people in Xiuxian Realm return home?"

Zhang Han wanted to chase the old man away, but Xie Lang shook his head, jumped off his horse, and walked up to the old man: "When I kill the tyrant, I will immediately stop the construction of the fairyland on earth and let the people who are building the fairyland go home."

Xie Lang looked into the old man's eyes and said, "This is my promise as General Lu Zhaoping of Fatian."

Seeing Xie Lang's sincere attitude, the old man's tears fell. He had two sons, both of whom were taken to the immortal realm, leaving behind three grandsons who were also taken to the immortal realm in the next few months.

Just last month, his youngest grandson was also taken away. That grandson was only 10 years old.

"I hope the general will keep his word."

In the old man's opinion, there is no difference if there is a new emperor. Officials will still do evil, and there will still be taxes and corvée. Those in power say they serve the people, but how many of them actually care about the people?

But now the old man can only trust Xie Lang.

Looking at the old man's back as he walked away step by step with a cane, Xie Lang's expression was cold and calm.

The people are nothing in her eyes. They are just tools for her to overthrow Xie Yuanjing. If she really cares about the people, she should be able to solve everything with one spell.

But she didn't. She did it to satisfy her sense of accomplishment. The more difficult the challenge was, the happier she was.

Lu Zhaoping, a mere mortal, could overthrow Xie Yuanjing. If she used magic, wouldn't she be even worse than a mortal? Her pride wouldn't allow her to do that.

She wanted to crush Xie Yuanjing with mortal means, and then crush him with divine means when he returned to heaven. This was her pleasure.

Next, Xie Lang continued to march towards Chang'an. Wherever his army went, it was invincible.

When some county officials heard that Xie Lang's army was approaching, they did not even fight a battle, but directly led the people out of the city to welcome them.

They had heard of Xie Lang's reputation and that the soldiers under her would not make things difficult for the people, so they were looking forward to Xie Lang's arrival.

At this time, some people who were severely oppressed by officials picked up axes, rushed into the county government office, killed the officials inside, opened the city gates, and joined Xie Lang's camp.

In just three months, Xie Lang captured six counties in succession, occupied the counties around Chang'an, and surrounded Chang'an.

The imperial court sent troops repeatedly but suffered repeated defeats. A big part of the reason was that most of the officers and soldiers sent by the court were temporarily conscripted civilians who were not worthy of being used. The generals who knew military affairs were all killed by Xie Yuanjing. The rest were all incompetent and stupid. What else could they do except flatter and please?

Outside the city of Chang'an, Xie Lang walked along the way and saw a group of people fighting for a blackened steamed bun, and saw refugees starving to death in the wilderness everywhere.

"That is……"

On the other side of the moat, there was a huge crowd of people. They were ragged, had gaunt faces, empty eyes, and were dressed in different clothes. Some wore prison uniforms, with shackles on their feet, and held sticks and stones in their hands. The best ones had a rusty axe.

Is this the enemy they are going to fight?

Are you sure they are not refugees who are about to starve to death?

"This tyrant is so stupid. Not only did he favor the witch queen, built a paradise on earth for her, and indulged in sensual pleasures, he also ignored state affairs. The two of them even flirted with each other in front of the court officials. Once anyone raised an objection, he would be killed by the tyrant. This is how all the loyal officials in the court were killed."

"He also allowed the treacherous eunuch Wang Huanzhi to manipulate power. Just three months ago, Wang Huanzhi summoned all the military commanders for assessment. Incompetent villains were appointed as generals to lead the troops in battle, while those with real talent and real ability were killed by him."

The military advisor pointed at the indifferent people on the other side and sighed, "Wang Huanzhi has recruited millions of civilians to resist the general, including disabled people, prisoners, slaves, and laborers who are building the paradise on earth. Using such an army to fight, the dynasty is really at the end of its rope!"

Xie Lang said, "So, our success is also due to Wang Huanzhi's contribution?"

The military advisor was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react. Xie Lang looked at the haggard crowd on the moat bank, his eyes became calm: "Attack the city, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed!"

As soon as the order was given, countless soldiers outside the city shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who resist will die!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who resist will die!"

The people on the other side of the river were forcibly conscripted by the imperial court. They were unwilling and had no intention of fighting. When Xie Lang's soldiers stood on the other side of the river, most of them were frightened and gave up resistance.
