482 Heaven Punishment 2
In the battle of Luohan, all ten evil spirits were put to death, Lezheng Longhua died, and the Dragon Blood God Sect collapsed.
Soon the imperial army regained the entire territory of Jiangzhou and met with King Qin's border troops who came from Xiliangzhou on the outskirts of Yuling City. The rebels dispersed. By the beginning of May, the imperial capital issued an imperial edict to the world, announcing the success of the suppression of the rebellion.
Subsequently, at the suggestion of a group of courtiers headed by Chen Yechen, the emperor once again announced amnesty and reduced domestic taxes on the grounds that "the weapons were frequently used, causing harm to the people's livelihood."
But even so, the Desolate Sect has still not been pardoned, but the imperial army's targeted arrests and suppressions have ceased.
Since most of the last remnants of the rebel army abandoned their armor and surrendered, Yuling City was spared from the war, and Yu Shiqi, who hurried here after the Battle of Luohan, breathed a sigh of relief.
After exploring Yuling for many days with Wangchuan's men, he finally found the wife and daughter left behind by Gu Mingzhou, and told them the news of Gu Mingzhou's sacrifice with a feeling of guilt.
What surprised Yu Shiqi was that Gu Mingzhou's wife seemed to have expected this.
"He said before he left home last year that he might never come back, and he didn't want his words to come true..."
Yu Shiqi looked back at Jin Yi, who then presented a black wooden box: "The money here should be enough to support your mother and daughter for several years. In addition, there is another thing in the box.
If you are in trouble, just hang it in front of your door, and someone will come to help you."
Gu Mingzhou's wife took the wooden box and opened it, and saw a pile of banknotes from Chenling's banks all over the country neatly stacked inside. There was an inconspicuous copper pillar on top of the banknotes, with the inscription "
Ninety thousand miles".
"How is this acceptable?" She felt very uneasy when she saw the large amount of money. She closed the box again and wanted to return it to Yu Shiqi.
"But please accept it."
Yu Shiqi insisted not to accept it.
"Master, can you answer a few questions for me? Was my husband working for the master before? Who is the master?"
Yu Shiqi hesitated for a moment. To this day, he is embarrassed to say that he is a ranger of the Cloud Sword. Moreover, the court has not lifted the wanted order for the Desolate Sect. They can no longer wear the brocade and white robes decorated with cloud pattern swords as before.
Act openly and honestly.
"It's not convenient for you, Master, right?" Gu Mingzhou's wife realized something from his silence and lowered her head to indicate that she would not ask further questions.
"I am Yu Yanzhi, a disciple of Yunling Tongfeng Sect in Lizhou." Yu Shiqi paused for a moment, then added: "Before, like Gu Mingzhou, I worked for Yunzhong Sword."
"Sword in the Cloud..." She suddenly understood everything, and then she bent down and bowed to Yu Shiqi.
Yu Shiqi and Jin Yi looked at each other, wondering why she was suddenly so solemn.
"Mingzhou has never said what he does before. I've always been worried about whether he went astray. It's great to hear the master's answer here..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears. She raised her hand to cover it up and called her daughter next to her: "Ning Ning, come here and thank this young master."
The little girl who had been standing by with her head lowered heard this, approached her mother, and whispered to Yu Shiqi: "Thank you, Master."
Yu Shiqi could tell that her thank you was not sincere. Although he was only four or five years old, this child seemed to be more sensible and wiser than others of the same age. He must be feeling sad for Gu Mingzhou at this time...
He knelt down in front of the girl and asked with concern: "Is your name Ningning?"
"Ning Ning is a nickname. My name is Gu Ningxi, the name given to me by my father." She raised her head to meet Yu Qi's eyes and answered bravely.
"I'm sorry, Ning Ning, I couldn't bring your father back." Yu Shiqi sighed, "If you want to beat me and scold me, you can."
Gu Ningxi stretched out her little hand and placed it on Yu Shiqi's cheek, and said in a serious tone: "I want to be like daddy, can you teach me?"
Yu Shiqi was stunned and politely refused: "You are too young."
"Then wait until I grow up." She said persistently.
Yu Shiqi looked at Gu Mingzhou's wife helplessly, hoping that she would come forward to dissuade his daughter, but he did not expect that she would solemnly nod to him.
"I hope the young master can take it for Mingzhou's sake..."
"I understand." Yu Shiqi agreed to her with complicated emotions.
Although Gu Mingzhou didn't have time to explain before leaving, Yu Shiqi felt that he definitely didn't want his daughter to enter the Jianghu again in the future. The reason why he stayed in Yunzhongjian was after he first went to Luohan and experienced the battle at the Chaoguan Tower.
He didn't leave, just because he wanted to "finish what Yunzhongjian should do".
I thought that a hard battle in Qingdu would be the end of everything, but I never thought that the road ahead would be full of thorns.
To this day, although Lezheng Longhua is dead and the Dragon Blood Cult has been wiped out, they still dare not say that they have completely won. Without the cooperation with the imperial court, Yunzhongjian was forced to move underground for a long time.
It is no longer possible to quickly dispatch forces to respond to events that occur in the world as before.
Without the support and convenience provided by the government, it is conceivable that the road ahead will become difficult.
Yu Shiqi looked at the girl in front of him sadly, thinking that with her current age, she couldn't understand everything she was thinking about, so she agreed for the time being and would explain the pros and cons to her later.
"This is for you." Yu Shiqi took off the heartbeat bell he got from Xilingyue when he first went to Xihuang, tied it on Gu Ningxi's wrist and said, "This thing will keep you safe.
"
He then said goodbye to Gu Mingzhou's wife and promised her that he would take time to visit their mother and son in the future to help them solve the difficulties they encountered.
Jin Yang also bowed to the mother and daughter, and then followed Yu Shiqi and left the secluded courtyard.
"Young master, don't worry. I have selected a group of capable and reliable people from the newly built Youbu to be stationed in Yuling to provide them with protection and help secretly." Jin Yang said after catching up with Yu Shiqi who was walking in front.
"good."
"By the way, the young master asked his subordinates to check for Zhu Zhi's traces. Recently, news came back from Yunzhou that someone with a similar appearance went north to Liaodong." Jin Yang thought for a while and said, "The former commander of the Jinyi Guards
Your Excellency, you may have left the imperial court."
"That's good, after all, there are not many of my father's old troops in the Jinyi Guardhouse today." Yu Shiqi sighed, "After all, Zhu Zhi was an exceptional member of the Jianghu who was promoted during Emperor Wu's reign. If he continues to stay in the imperial capital, it is inevitable that Mu Qingxuan will
I am suspicious of him."
Jin Yang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "The ferry master arranged official positions for everyone back then, and then retired to do business. Now the young master will go to the Western Wilderness with the Xiling girl. I wonder what arrangements he has for us?"
Yu Shiqi was stunned and laughed at himself: "I don't have the ability to arrange for you to be officials in the imperial court."
"Seeing that Commander Zhu and the group of Wangchuan seniors who contributed to Emperor Wu's ascension to the throne are now very few, my subordinates have taken this as a lesson and naturally do not want to work hard in the officialdom."
"Today is different from the past. The evils are being punished and the Dragon Blood God Sect is destroyed. The world can be stable for at least a few years."
"Young master, you are wrong. It is extremely dangerous to join the Jin Yiwei at this time. You may be sent to suppress the deserted rebels one day." Jin Yang joked.
"Yes." Yu Shiqi shrugged, "But I don't think Mu Qingxuan will entertain this idea for the time being. He is not a fool, and he can clearly distinguish whether the existence of the Desolate Sect is a good thing or a bad thing, so most of the government's pursuit will be
The thunder is loud and the raindrops are light, so Yunzhongjian just needs to be more cautious."
Jin Yang followed him and said with some disapproval: "I heard that in the battle at the Destiny Alliance General Forum, the young master defeated Yue Zheng Longhua, who was in the state of perfect Dao Tianjue. At his current age and with such martial arts, the young master wants to leave.
Jianghu is too..."
"You didn't see the scene where the Desolate Sect worked together to fight life and death that day. Why do you make it sound like I won the entire Dragon Blood Cult by myself?" Yu Shiqi shook his head, "Don't try to persuade me, the world is so big.
Isn’t it a world of martial arts? Do we have to fight with swords and swords to be number one in the world? Besides, the title of number one in the world has long been mine in my heart."
Jin Yang lowered his head helplessly: "Since the young master has made up his mind, I will say no more. I just want to ask carefully, what are the young master's plans for us?"
How should Wangchuan survive after he left? Yu Shiqi had been thinking about this issue for a long time. At this time, he expressed his thoughts to Jin Yi: "Don't do the assassin's business anymore. Anyway, you are not short of money now. Don't do it either.
Now let’s find ways to expand the organization and recruit new people. An’an can safely manage the existing industry well. If Yue’er and I plan to do business in Xihuang in the future, we may ask for help from you.”
"Young Master, you are serious in your words. Whenever there is a need for us, just send someone to deliver a letter."
Seeing his frightened look, Yu Shiqi smiled and said: "Think about it carefully, I have no kindness to you, and I have caused a lot of trouble recently. Why do you always act so loyal?"
Jin Yi replied seriously: "When Emperor Wu was imprisoned, the ferry leader wanted to lead us to risk a rebellion. Nie Guijiang also almost led the organization to a place of eternal disaster. In the eyes of his subordinates, it was the young master who cut off the
These two dangerous roads, otherwise I don’t know who would be able to stand here and talk to you today..."
"Understood."
"Where are you going next, young master?"
