Just as Liu Xing led his troops to charge over, He Zhishan, who was guarding Xu Shan, hurriedly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Xu, Imperial Envoy Xu, the killing is almost over."

"Just accept it when you're ready."

"If there were a conflict with the local troops, the situation would become extreme."

He Zhishan was deeply moved by everything Xu Shan had just said.

Especially his words "the Shu people govern themselves" made him inexplicably excited.

Isn't this exactly what the Shu County nobles expect?

And now, with the support of His Majesty, my heart is naturally boiling with excitement.

Because of this, he didn't want to see Xu Shan and his party directly come into conflict with the local garrison.

So as not to push the situation to extremes.

Whether it is to stabilize the local situation or out of interests!

"He Zhifu, you have had little contact with this imperial envoy. You don't understand my character clearly enough."

"Whether it's internal or external, I, Xu Shan, will stick with my words."

"If we say we're going to 'kill them all' today, we won't let anyone go!"

When Xu Shan said this, Lu Ning and Zhang Chu put away their swords, giving Chang Peng and others from the Beggar Gang a chance to catch their breath.

So much so that they turned around and sneered at the few people while running away.

At this moment, Li Jing and other members of the Shu County Jinyiwei, who had rebelled against the enemy, were tied up. However, after seeing this scene, they suddenly said, "No, we won't let anyone go?"

"You, you are too confident."

"In Wanzhou, anyone who dares to disobey Lieutenant General Liu's orders is disrespecting the king and disrespecting heaven."

"The consequences are something you simply cannot afford."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan subconsciously glanced at the other people.

The Pacification Office has its own internal rules.

Without Xu Shan's order, Li Yuanfang and others did not chase them.

As for Mr. Xu, he also wanted to use their lives to teach the Jinyiwei of Shu County a lesson.

That's why it has been preserved until now.

Now, hearing his words, he was very surprised and said, "I can understand the meaning of disrespecting the king, but what does it mean to disrespect Heaven?"

"Is there anything else that this imperial envoy doesn't know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhishan beside him quickly replied, "Imperial Envoy Xu doesn't know."

"In Shu County, every garrison is assigned a 'seated altar envoy'."

"They don't take orders directly from the Shu Palace, but rather from the heavens. They are said to be able to communicate with the gods and converse with the witch gods."

"These 'Altar Emissaries' possess boundless magical power. It is precisely because of their presence that the strength of the garrisons in various locations is significantly higher."

"The local people were even more devout and reverent towards them, and even donated money and materials to build the altar..."

After He Zhishan succinctly and fearfully recounted the situation of the "Altar Emissary", Xu Shan smiled.

I'm familiar with this routine!

The purpose of this operation, to put it simply, is to transfer the people's awe of the monarchy to theocracy.

Thus, the royal family's influence in Shu County would be weakened, so as to better enslave the people and control the army!

In the middle of the last century, the Popes of Western Europe used this method to gain unprecedented rights.

Even now, some theocratic countries still use this as a model to control the entire country.

"So, it's magical?"

"Now that you've said that, I, the imperial envoy, really want to see it for myself."

When Xu Shan finished speaking with a sneer, He Zhishan nervously waved his hands and said, "Absolutely not, Imperial Envoy Xu."

"The last person who disrespected the altar messenger died that same day."

"Hurry up and tell your men to stop."

Just as He Zhishan finished speaking, Li Jing on the side continued, "He Zhifu... he is a man of his word."

"you……"

He Zhishan, who could hear that Li Jing was still fanning the flames, glared at him fiercely.

Facing his sarcasm, Xu Shan's smile became even colder.

"I will not allow anyone to override the imperial power in any place where I am an imperial envoy."

"Whether it's a celestial being or a sorcerer god, it's all the same!"

'bass! ’

As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, Zhang Liansong and Wang Wushang jumped up and rushed directly towards Chang Peng and others.

Faced with Liu Xing who was leading his troops to charge, the few people did not take him seriously at all.

Those who deserve it should be killed, those who deserve it should be scratched!

Even in the end, Zhang Goudan used Chang Peng's head as a carrier and directly broke Liu Xing's crescent-shaped sword through the air.

He was pulled off his horse and trampled by the war horses behind him.

"You're in trouble."

"You're in big trouble!"

"Dare you dare to touch Lieutenant General Liu in Wanzhou City?"

"He is the adopted son of the altar messenger."

Li Jing, who was standing by, shouted at the top of his voice after seeing this scene.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xu Shan became even more interested.

Then, he turned to look at He Zhishan beside him and said, "He Zhifu, if this imperial envoy kills this Lieutenant General Liu, can it force the so-called 'Altar Envoy' to appear?"

"what?"

Hearing this, He Zhishan was completely stunned.

Then he came to his senses and said, "Xu, Envoy Xu, this, this is going to cause trouble!"

"In Wanzhou City, most of the people are believers of the altar messenger. What you are doing is tantamount to..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Xu Shan interrupted directly: "The more you say this, the more excited this imperial envoy becomes."

"According to your logic...the Beggars' Gang was slaughtered, but the altar envoy was not killed. It has a deterrent effect."

Just as Xu Shan finished speaking, Zhang Liansong, whose military merits had been robbed, cried out in grievance, "Sir, they stole my military merits!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Shan stood up with a smile, then pointed at Liu Xing who was being supported by someone and said, "Then I'll give you another one!"

"go with!"

"Cut off Lieutenant General Liu's head!"

'Wow.'

The two were not close to each other, and the battle around them had already entered its final stages, so the fighting was silent. Therefore, when Xu Shan shouted this with a smile, everyone at the scene not only heard it clearly...

What's more, there was a shrill uproar of disbelief!

"Cut off Lieutenant General Liu's head?"

"He is the adopted son of the altar messenger!"

"If you really do this, you will be punished by heaven and thrown into hell by the witch god."

The onlookers who had witnessed the altar messenger casting spells made harsh comments.

He Zhishan, standing by, disregarded his image and pulled Xu Shan to his side, saying, "Xu, Imperial Envoy Xu, you're going to get into big trouble if you do this."

"Your subordinate..."

Before the other party could finish, Xu Shan turned his head and said calmly, "Prefect He, what you need to do is to think about what crime to charge Lieutenant General Liu with for this imperial envoy."

"As for the rest, it's not your concern."

"what……"

When Xu Shan said this solemnly to He Zhishan, Zhang Liansong turned around at the intersection of Wanzhou Avenue in front of him and rushed forward with a knife.

"Protect the lieutenant general!"

"You dare!"

"Aren't you afraid that the messenger sitting on the altar will settle your accounts later?"

'bass! ’

'Sizzle.'
