On the second day of the first month of the sixth year of Ping An.
Wu Zhi rushed to the Nanfeng County and started a great purge in the Wu Clan.
"I don't care how you took advantage of your seniority. Now, I want you to know that those who betray the clan will be killed without mercy!"
Wu Zhi shouted angrily. Several pale-faced young men were pushed out of the ancestral hall, screaming. Then, there was no sound.
This scene shocked a group of people.
Wu Zhi looked at the front row of the Wu Clan and saw several white-haired old men. He frowned and said, "Elder Wu Tongtian and his son Wu Si communicated with outsiders and leaked our military intelligence. According to the clan's rules, they should be killed. However, seeing that they have worked hard and performed meritorious deeds, I will spare their lives!"
Before the others could heave a sigh of relief, Wu Zhi laughed coldly. "However, the death penalty can be spared. Today, Wu Tongtian and Wu Si will be stripped of their positions and their properties will be confiscated! … Don't worry, I will leave them a house and ten acres of land. In the future, their children can go to the martial arts center of the clan … "
This was even more miserable than being killed directly.
It was even to set an example in the clan. As long as they saw the miserable state of the Wu Clan, they would be clear-minded the next time they rebelled.
"Now, as the head of the clan, I have ordered to abolish the Wu Clan's Elders Council. What's the point of that?"
After dealing with the traitors with the Thunder Method, all the Wu Clan members chose to give way to Wu Zhi's high-spirited attitude.
Through this great purge, she had completely grasped the power of the Wu Clan. She even promoted a group of close clansmen and consolidated her power.
…
"Under the order of the Minister of Peace, we are here to arrest the rebels. Irrelevant people, please leave!"
Ta, ta!
Accompanied by a loud roar, a group of dozens of cavalrymen broke into a small town and surrounded the only inn.
"It's the Nanfeng Cavalry!"
Looking at the valiant cavalrymen, all the families in the town immediately closed their doors and windows and hid in their beds, trembling.
On the other hand, the unlucky pedestrians and merchants who stayed in the inn turned pale, and they felt that a great calamity was about to befall them.
"Sir! We are good people! Good people! "
The innkeeper had already knelt down. He was afraid that Wu Zhi would stab him. If that happened, he would die in vain.
Even if he did not die, he would not be able to get out if he was imprisoned.
"My lord! I am Wang San, a spy from the Courier Bureau! I'm here to report! "
A skinny man in black clothes and hemp shoes with a moustache stood up. "We've already found out where the enemy is!"
"Good!"
The cavalry general waved his hand and five or six soldiers immediately came forward. They followed the thin bamboo pole and surrounded a guest room.
"Not good! It must be related to Zou Liang and Wu Lie! "
In the room, a black-clothed man stood up. It was the mastermind behind Mister Zou that day, Marquis Ding's secret leader here.
As soon as the sound of the horse's hooves could be heard, this person had already sensed it. He leaned against the window and lifted a small crack to investigate.
When he saw the cavalry rushing in and the dozen or so people roaming around outside, he could not help but break out in cold sweat and despair appeared on his face.
There was a great disparity between the enemy and himself, and it was like catching a turtle in a jar. He really couldn't escape.
Clang!
As the footsteps approached, the door was knocked open, and five or six armored soldiers rushed in.
These were the elites of the army. However, compared to the Tusk Soldiers, their killing intent was awe-inspiring. When they joined forces, even those below the Grandmaster level would have a headache. They were also immune to all evil.
At this moment, he was expressionless as he pulled out his long saber.
"Wait!"
The black-clothed man gritted his teeth and immediately knelt down. "I surrender! I surrender! I am the spy chief of Marquis Ding. I know all the spies in Chu Feng and Nan Feng County! "
"Haha … I have long heard of Mister Kang's great name. Indeed, a wise man submits to circumstances!"
The cavalry general was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing.
Compared to a dead man, it was naturally more meritorious to uproot the intelligence network.
"Since ancient times, a fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in …"
Mister Kang replied with a bitter smile, but his heart was bleeding.
He knew that if news of his betrayal spread, his family and clansmen in Ding Yuan County who were under Marquis Ding's control would be in trouble.
However, death was the only thing that could be done!
He had originally thought that he was a generous and chivalrous person. At the very least, he wanted to fight for the title of a martyr for his family. However, when it came to life and death, he realized that this choice was actually so difficult!
…
Yunping District, in the Wu Family Fortress.
"I have already taught you Yu Qing's Taoist techniques. Why do you still insist on going to the mountain gate?"
Under the wintersweet tree, Wu Ming asked with a frown.
Daoist Yu Qing was an old fox. Although an Earth Immortal was not omniscient, and it was impossible for him to deduce the relationship between Wu Qing and Daoist Yu Qing, it was still not very good.
"Taoist techniques are only one aspect … Little brother, you know that I wholeheartedly pursue Taoism. Since I know that there is a paradise in this world, how can I not go and take a look?"
Wu Qing wore a snow-white fox fur coat and stood timidly under a wintersweet tree. Her peach face was flushed, but she was more beautiful than a flower.
At this moment, she stretched out her jade-like hand and tidied up Wu Ming's collar. "Now that you have grown up and married, you don't need my protection anymore …"
Her tone seemed to be very gratified. Wu Ming was touched when he heard this, but he sighed again.
He was naturally touched because of the sibling relationship, but he sighed because he was no longer the playboy he used to be.
As for this secret, he would never tell Wu Qing about it.
"Since you are so persistent, I can only wish you a smooth journey in advance. May you achieve Taoism in the future, become a Celestial Immortal, and live as long as heaven and earth …"
Wu Ming said helplessly. Speaking of which, this was the result of Wu Qing seeing the miscellaneous news that he had written down from memory.
"You have a glib tongue! But thank you for your auspicious words! "
Wu Qing's lips curled up into a soul-stirring smile. Suddenly, a red magic sword appeared and turned into a ray of light that enveloped her whole body. Then, she disappeared like a dragon.
Only a low voice that sounded like a bamboo flute was still echoing in the same place.
"The willows are green and green, and the sound of singing is heard on the river. The sun rises in the east, and the rain in the west. Although there is no clear sky, there is clear sky … "
"Why do you have to be so heartless?"
Wu Ming stood in silence for a long time. Then, he sighed and stood up. Unknowingly, he arrived at Wu Qing's boudoir.
"Ah! Young Master Ming! "
A beautiful figure came out from behind him. She was fiddling with the hem of her skirt and bowing uneasily. It was Li Xiuyun, who was anxious and didn't know whether she should confess.
"Xiuyun, come with me!"
Wu Ming opened the door and saw that Wu Qing's room was decorated elegantly as usual. However, the painting he had made on the wall had disappeared. With the Wu Family's current extravagance, Wu Qing had only brought this with her.
"I'll leave this place to you. You must keep it untouched, understand?"
Wu Ming suddenly said.
"I … I understand! I'll personally come and clean the place for you every day! "
Li Xiuyun bowed slightly. "And … and … Young Master, Xiuyun …"
"What's wrong with you?"
Wu Ming turned around and squinted his eyes. He saw that Li Xiuyun's mind was now clear and her body was filled with a refreshing aura. Her sea of consciousness had been opened, and she had officially entered the cultivation of a Daoist priest. In the outside world, she could make a living on her own and live a carefree life.
"No … nothing. It's just that Young Master, Xiuyun has become very useful!"
Li Xiuyun's face turned red for no reason when she met Wu Ming's eyes. She even forgot what she wanted to say.
"Well, you're very useful! Very useful! "
Wu Ming secretly rolled his eyes. "If this little idiot really told me about the main shrine, wouldn't everything be exposed? At least she would have guessed that I'm also a Reincarnator! No … with this little girl's brain circuit, she can't be compared to Huang Ying … "
"In the future, remember to talk less and do more. Remember to come and clean every day. That's enough …"
Seeing Li Xiuyun like this, Wu Ming couldn't bear to see her like this. "I've already told Steward Wu that if you have any shortage or trouble in the future, you can go to him and he will solve it for you! I'll go out soon … I'm very relieved to leave this place to you! "
A Daoist priest could be a high-class customer in a big family in the county and live a stable life.
Wu Ming felt that if outsiders knew that he mistreated the female workers like this, he would definitely criticize him. It was time to improve his treatment.
"Young Master, are you leaving?"
Li Xiuyun obviously only heard the second half of the sentence. "Where are you going?"
Seeming to know that she was rude, she blushed slightly again. "I just feel that I'm tired after a long journey and need someone to serve me …"
"This … really isn't necessary!"
Wu Ming was embarrassed. Since he was dressed like a rich young master in ancient times, even if he had turned over a new leaf, it was still necessary to live a corrupt life with groups of servants and beautiful maids warming his bed.
However, this trip was extremely secretive, and it was related to the Murderous Blood Alliance. How could he leave a trail behind?
Wu Ming felt that he was not so stupid.
"I still have to tell Wu Zhi …"
After sending away the reluctant Li Xiuyun, Wu Ming helplessly rubbed the corner of his eyebrows. "However, this woman is busy plowing the court and sweeping the cave, cleaning up the subordinates, and replacing them with loyal people. Later, she might even send troops to Dingyuan County. She's already as busy as a dog, so there shouldn't be any big problem …"
…
Buzz!
A conveyance light flashed and disappeared. After a few dozen feet, Wu Ming's figure appeared.
After finishing a pile of affairs, he immediately went out. It was precisely to take this rare opportunity to deal with the Blood Pact and other authority holders.
"E Xuan agreed quickly without much resentment …"
Wu Ming felt that the relationship between this woman and himself was more similar to that of a Daoist companion. There was a trace of a kindred spirit.
However, what he pursued was personal detachment, while what she pursued was the ambition to conquer the world and detachment of the whole world.
"It's a pity that the ideal is full, but the reality is very harsh. I have a hunch that even if Wu Zhi finally eliminates all the feudal vassals and unifies China, I'm afraid that in the end, I'm still going to be cheated!"
After a sigh, Wu Ming scanned with his soul sense. After confirming that there was no one around, a strange smile appeared on his face. "It's time!"
