"Langjun, be refined. Pay attention to your image."
Xu Ke couldn't help but cover his face. Was this the true face of a noble son of an aristocratic family?
Feng Jin, who valued rules the most, secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, she said "laozi" instead of "laoniang". Otherwise, how would it have ended?
Jiang Pengji calmed down for a while. She took a deep breath and suppressed the rising anger in her heart.
She said to the troop with a cold face, "Don't be afraid. Tell me all the information you found."
However, Jiang Pengji's aura was too fierce. The troop was scared out of his wits. He only found his voice after two breaths.
"I obeyed your orders and went to Xiangyang district to gather information. However, when I arrived at the border of Xiangyang district, I found something wrong. I found many corpses of the people. They were all with their families. Their corpses were exposed in the wilderness. The cause of death was not due to the earthquake, nor was it due to hunger or disease. After some identification, they were all killed by axes, hatchets, sticks or other heavy objects … "
Once he started talking, the soldier was no longer nervous. His speech was smooth and clear.
He continued cupping his fists and reported, "… Not only that, after many investigations, we found that these citizens must have encountered enemies that far outnumbered them during their escape. They were surrounded and beaten to death by the enemy without much struggle. Most of the men died tragically. The women or girls were dragged to the side and suffered different degrees of humiliation before dying tragically. Such evil deeds are despicable. "
It was not wrong to say that they were a mob.
The scouting troop found many such corpses at the border of Xiangyang District. Not only did they die a miserable death, but their clothes and valuables were also crudely snatched. Many of them were unclothed and their bodies were exposed to the scorching sun. They died with their eyes wide open.
Jiang Pengji listened calmly. Her expression did not change at all. However, the surrounding atmosphere was slightly solemn. The audience in the streaming room also stopped chatting. It was as if they were infected by the solemn and austere atmosphere. They could not help but straighten their backs and wait solemnly.
Jiang Pengji's voice became colder. "Continue."
The subordinate said, "We pretended to be refugees. After we entered Xiangyang district, we were interrogated a few times. After a few rounds of probing, we found out that three days after the earthquake, Xiangyang district had already been occupied by the Tsing Yi army. They even took over the Xiangyang district mansion."
"Tsing Yi army …" Feng Jin muttered as he sat at the side. He didn't expect a motley crew to be able to break through Xiangyang district.
The district headquarters of Xiangyang District was very poor, but they more or less kept some soldiers. In addition to the servants kept by the local gentry and wealthy families, there should be at least one or two thousand soldiers in total, if not three or five thousand. These people were faced with a group of rioters armed with hoes, choppers, and axes. How could they lose so easily?
"Apart from that, is there any other specific information?"
Jiang Pengji furrowed her brows. In her heart, she wished that she could ride on White and charge over. To her, what was hers was hers. What she fancied was also hers. Whoever dared to extend their claws into her territory, she would chop off their claws with one claw!
Not only that, according to the troop's description, the members of the Tsing Yi Army were not good at all.
She was now the district magistrate of Xiangyang district. Xiangyang district was her territory. The people there were under her protection.
The Tsing Yi Army really did not care about their lives.
The subordinate said, "We waited in Xiangyang district for two days and discovered that the Tsing Yi Army were not ordinary rioters. They had a leader who was known as the Ninth General of the Tsing Yi Army. He was tall and sturdy and held two huge axes in his hands. The main gate of the district headquarters of Xiangyang district was smashed by his axes. All the officials in Xiangyang district were murdered. The gentry and wealthy families were wiped out. There were countless deaths and injuries. "
The tragic scene that the troops saw was not just that. It was even more unsightly.
The leader of the Tsing Yi Army searched the houses of the gentry and wealthy families. The men who were taller than the shaft of the carriage were all beheaded. Those who were shorter were used as prostitutes. As for the women, not only were they tied together with hemp ropes, but they were also ordered to show their naked bodies and be used as the Tsing Yi Army's military prostitutes.
All members of the Tsing Yi Army had the right to enjoy it. If anyone resisted, most of them would die without a complete corpse.
The troops did not hide anything. They told her everything they saw and knew.
Jiang Pengji smiled coldly and crushed the ceramic bowl in her hand. Even Feng Jin, who was usually calm and collected, had a murderous look on his face.
The audience in the streaming room then completely reacted. It was the start of a war.
Yingyang Kuaixian: "Didn't — didn't they say that the Tsing Yi Army were the people from before? Why are they so heartless?"
Tudou Beef Shredded Gaifan: "These evil deeds are not done by humans. They are a bunch of f * cking beasts!"
Guicai Guofengxiao: "Although I also feel that the Tsing Yi Army is not human but a bunch of beasts, did you listen carefully to the troops' report? Personally, I think it's horrifying to think about it. The Tsing Yi Army's origins are most likely bandits or robbers. The earthquake this time almost caused Wanzhou to collapse. The imperial court just moved the capital. If it wasn't for the streamer's report, I reckon even the people in Shangjing would have died … "
Due to the word limit, the audience member typed another paragraph at lightning speed.
Guicai Guofengxiao: "The Dongqing royal family's inaction, the emperor's fatuity and scoundrel became the last straw that drove these rioters crazy. Therefore, they raised their machetes and shoulder poles and took revenge crazily. They even committed such atrocities that go against humanity. By the way, the real ancient war was far crueler than this. If you don't believe me, you can check the Five Barbarians Luanhua to see what a two-legged sheep is. "
Laosiji Lianmeng: "I have a hunch that the streaming from now on will be very bloody. Young people who can bear it should stop streaming as soon as possible to avoid psychological trauma. Besides, regardless of whether the Tsing Yi Army was once a victim, this is not a reason for them to be violent. "
The bullet screen almost covered the entire virtual screen. The comments were almost a page per second.
Jiang Pengji did not have time to look at those records.
She already had the intention to kill.
The foreign rioters came to her territory and killed her people. If she did not kill them back, how could she be satisfied?
Feng Jin saw through her thoughts. He looked down and said, "Lanting, we still have 2,000 troops in Fengyi county for disaster relief. Now we only have 1,000 troops and 1,000 imperial guards with us. All of them have traveled a long distance and are exhausted. However, there are more than 10,000 rioters from the Tsing Yi Army. If we want to attack Xiangyang district, we must not act willfully and recklessly. We need to formulate a comprehensive plan. At least, you have to settle down the people who follow you. "
"I know." Jiang Pengji clasped her fingers together as if she was deep in thought.
If she did not bring nearly 20,000 people from Shangjing, she would have directly counted her men and killed her way to Xiangyang district.
Attack and defense were two completely different concepts, especially when the defending side had many people and could also rely on the terrain of the houses.
