Chapter 4, Section 55: Determine the Goal
Xu was cautiously lurking near a street intersection. 。"Gao Chong and the other two charged straight at them." 。“The speed is incredible! They are all clad in armor, and Sun Yuting and Wang Qiao even...Blood Rain World, Imperial Capital 。A seemingly ordinary restaurant was doing very well. Xu Jingming came to the second floor of the restaurant and ordered several signature dishes. 。Qiu Tong is truly a foodie, the places she recommends are really great. 。Xu Jingming ate the fish served to him. The fish was tender and smooth, and its natural flavor made Xu Jingming almost intoxicated. 。"Having been in Beijing for so long, as far as fish dishes are concerned, this place ranks first." 。Xu Jingming nodded approvingly, relishing the delicious food. 。A large plate of pastries, Xu Jingming took one bite after another. 。The fragrant fruit wine, Xu Jingming also drank it with relish. 。Have you heard The Imperial Western Regions army has been defeated! The main force was 500,000 men, all first-rate warriors. 。World War I was a complete defeat... They were chased for hundreds of miles by the iron cavalry army of King Wei from Xizhou, and the Xizhou army was completely finished. 。"The news from the palace came out today, I heard that His Majesty immediately threw several officials into prison! The entire family of Meng Xu, the commander-in-chief of the Western Regions army, was arrested and sent to the Heavenly Prison!" "Yes, there were cries shaking the sky from the north city side, all the Meng family members were escorted into the Heavenly Prison, even babies were not spared, the Meng family is finished." 。Inside the restaurant, people were discussing serious matters. 。Xu Jingming's ears perked up instantly, and he was taken aback: "The Western Regions army suffered a major defeat"
He, as a member of the Xueyujing Guard, only went to the headquarters in Nanfu occasionally, and he heard this news while eating at a restaurant. 。
"The main force of the Western Regions army, is it over" Xu Jingming immediately realized something was wrong. "These years, the empire's Western Regions has long been completely rotten. It's already quite remarkable that they could put together an army of 500,000 competent fighters..." 。This battle was lost! The entire Western Regions are now completely out of control. 。"Once the Western Regions fall into chaos, hordes of bandits could march straight to the capital!" Xu Jingming thought secretly. 。Before, people always said the northwest was decadent. 。But the Western Regions and Northern Regions still have imperial armies! The army in the Western Regions can at least guarantee that the rebels cannot threaten the Imperial City. 。"The Western Regions have collapsed! The Northern Regions are equally perilous, and the Southern Regions are barely holding on." 。That's just the Eastern Region... The Eastern Region is relatively the best in terms of order, and the Blood Rain Guards have enough strength. 。Xu Jingming secretly thought, “They should mobilize the Eastern Region’s army and enter the Western Region.” 。"The wine shop was bustling with noise, and some people were panicking. " 。"A major defeat in the Western Regions, if the rebels storm the capital…"
"There's no army left in the Western Regions to stop the rebels. We need to make plans soon." 。The city walls of the Imperial Capital are imposing, and with the Blood Rain Guards and auxiliary troops stationed there, defending the city should be no problem. 。"Talking about war is uncertain. " 。Those who could dine on the second floor of the tavern were not ordinary people. They all cared deeply about the future fate of the imperial capital, because it was related to their own destiny and the destiny of the families behind them. 。Xǔ Jǐngmíng finished eating, paid the bill, and then left the restaurant. 。He strolled through some bustling areas in the city, and he also heard people discussing the 'Western Regions' defeat in other places. The imperial capital was such a large place that explosive news could spread throughout the entire city within a day. 。"The situation in the imperial capital is becoming increasingly dangerous, I need to determine my target as soon as possible." 。Xu Jingming went to several backup target locations to conduct on-site investigations. 。"The Yang family, considered a major clan even in the Imperial Capital, is at least something my team could take on." 。Xu Jingming arrived on the street where the Yang family resided. Like families like Shen Gong and Feng Yu, he wouldn't go against more than a common disciple at most. 。Those families are too terrifying, even the Emperor wouldn't dare to feud with them. 。Families like the Yangs, those second-rate clans, are the most suitable targets. 。Take a bite and run! One bite is enough to satisfy yourself. 。"This street, it's all the Yang family's..." 。Xu Jingming looked, "The Yang family mansion occupies half the street, and many houses outside the mansion... are the residences of some branches of the Yang family and some guards and servants." 。。It's truly opulent!
The enormous mansion, with a courtyard wall stretching half a mile long and towering three stories high. 。This is the real mansion of a powerful aristocratic family in the imperial capital! 。Xu Jingming walked through the mansion and came to some civilian dwellings. 。"Joe Three! The outside world calls you Joe Three Master, but you yourself have to be clear, you are just a dog of the Yang family! Your father, grandfather, even great-grandfather all ate the Yang family's rice, your Qiao family generations have been dogs of the Yang family. When the master gives an order, this dog dares to disobey" A group of people blocked in front of a dwelling, the leading middle-aged man roared angrily, "You're really reversed!"
In front of the dwelling, a commoner knelt there holding his deceased daughter, his eyes red. "White Butler, just because I declined the second son this morning, you killed my child"
"A dog, disobey the master, naturally deserves to die" 。"The middle-aged man coldly said, "Today I'm killing one of your daughters. If you don't behave, your two brothers, three sisters, and even your mother...your entire family will die!"
"Third brother" 。"San Ge" 。"Others were also around, holding onto Qiao San and trying to persuade him." 。Joe Three looked at the daughter in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes. 。He wanted to go all out for revenge! But it was like hitting a stone with an egg, there was absolutely no hope. 。And his mother, his siblings, and their children... would all be implicated by him. 。"I understand, I will set off with the Second Young Master." 。Joe whispered. 。"That's right then, if you had agreed earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble, would there Come to think of it, you're the one who harmed your daughter." 。“As a middle-aged man, he swept his gaze around the room and raised his voice, "Don't think that just because you've lived in the capital for a hundred or two years, you become a citizen of the capital! Your ancestors have all been members of the Yang family! You do whatever the Yang family tells you to do!" 。If a dog disobeys, the owner has no need to keep it anymore and can slaughter it for food!”
The middle-aged man finished speaking and left with his men. As he walked, he coldly glanced at Xu Jingming, a passerby, even noticing the blood rain guard uniform under his cyan robe, he didn't pay any attention. 。A distinguished family like the Yangs wouldn't care about a mere Blood Rain Guard like you.
" Qiao San, are you foolish ">>> 。Second young master asked, "Who among you is willing to go with me" He inquired about your thoughts, and you honestly said, "I want to stay in the capital."
"Remember this from now on, do whatever the Yang family masters ask you to do." 。"This is a warning to others." 。"People around whispered. "
Xu Jingming watched from the side, watching the dead girl. There was a bloody whip mark on her chest, and the whip had been drawn very heavily, killing the girl with one blow. 。On that evening 。
Bai Guanjia hurried out of Yang Mansion and walked towards his own residence. 。I need to figure out a way, before I leave the city, to slip away and hide from the group. 。By then, in the vast imperial capital, the Yang family wouldn't have time to look for me. 。"Bai Guanjia was thinking, 'If he followed Yang Jia's army out of the imperial capital, over tens of thousands of miles, how many people would die on this road'
Bai Guanjia usually listened to orders within Yang Mansion and only returned to his residence occasionally. Today was a rare occasion for him to come out" 。"Hmm"
Xu Jingming, who was surveying the terrain on site, noticed Bai Guanjia. He was the one who led the group during the day. 。
call 。
The spear pierced the air silently. 。
"Not good" 。“Bai Guanjia could be a butler, but he was also a second-rate expert. He sensed the fluctuations in the air and immediately drew a sword from his waist.” 。But the spear, like a swimming dragon, when it touched the sword, under the strange rotational force, was not hindered at all and naturally swept past White Butler's nape. 。ven on Blue Star, I still felt pretty good about myself.'" 。But upon coming into contact with the vast ocean of human civilization across the entire universe, one realizes how ordinary they truly are....
