Chapter 103 Undercurrent

Xiao Tianci walked in front with a solemn expression in his hand. Behind him were a group of soldiers following him. All of them had heavy expressions and followed silently with steps.

The people standing on both sides of the street were all quietly watching the heroes of the satellite night city. Some of the relatives of the soldiers who died in battle were even looking at the urns and crying softly...

Xiao Tianci and his friends walked directly to the hero monument several meters high in the center of the city. He did not speak or express any incitement words. He just silently buried the urns of these heroes with everyone, and then closed the door of the tomb with his own hands. At this moment, everyone present couldn't help sobbing, for the sake of these sacrificed heroes, and for their home Starry Night City...

The capital, the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

It was still the same lobby as last time, where Marshal Pang Ruhai and Prime Minister Ji Xiangcheng sat opposite each other.

"Mr. Pang, it seems that these people are really impatient and harsh." Ji Xiangcheng smiled contemptuously without hiding it, "First block the entire palace and prevent any ministers from visiting it, then there was an order to appoint Concubine Rong as the Empress Dowager to assist the government. Humph! Take one step at a time, and make a good idea. Do you think of us as fools?"

"Hey! Lord Ji has passed." Pang Ruhai smiled lightly and waved at Ji Xiangcheng and said, "The Huang family is already ambition, but Lord Ji didn't know it. It's just a pity that the king died so quickly. Alas! Time is too urgent, which caught me off guard."

"Oh, it seems that Man Pang has already made plans." Ji Xiangcheng had already lit up and smiled with his beard.

Pang Ruhai glanced at him, nodded slightly and said, "Well, in a while, everything will be ready, and only the east wind is missing."

"What is the east wind?" Ji Xiangcheng's face froze and he asked.

"Is this east wind in the south?" Pang Ruhai stretched out his hand and pointed to the south, answering mysteriously.

Ji Xiangcheng thought about it briefly and said clearly: "Pangdaren refers to the Tianxing Kingdom."

"Haha, Lord Ji is smart." Pang Ruhai withdrew his hand, smiled, but changed the subject and said: "By the way, as far as I know, the uncle and nephew of the Xiao family have already decided the outcome."

"Oh, what's the result? Then Xiao Shiyun won?" Ji Xiangcheng was not interested in the battle between the uncle and nephew of the Xiao family, so he basically didn't pay much attention. It was also a bit unexpected when he heard Pang Ruhai mention it.

"Mr. Ji was wrong." Pang Ruhai shook his head and said, "The result was that Xiao Shiyun and his son died in battle, and more than 400,000 troops were wiped out."

"Hmm? I didn't expect that, it seems that we underestimated the second young master of the Xiao family. "Ji Xiangcheng was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "Is that Qingzhou already under control by this kid that day?"

"I have indeed controlled it, and the time is grasped very quickly, so fast that some people have not had time to react, and they have captured the entire Tianqingzhou in just a few days." Pang Ruhai nodded.

"It seems that this little guy's strength is growing very quickly, but I don't know why Man Pang is so concerned about this person? Even though he has controlled a whole state now, in my opinion, his strength is still slightly weaker, and his background is still much worse than that of the old family in China, right?" Ji Xiangcheng asked in confusion.

"Hehe, Lord Ji was wrong. This son is extraordinary." Pang Ruhai sighed lightly and said, "I'm sure that those who compete in the kingdom of deer in the future will have this son."

"Oh, how did that big man Pang deal with this kid?" Ji Xiangcheng saw that Pang Ruhai valued Xiao Tianci so much, and he also took it seriously. He knew in his heart that Pang Ruhai mentioned Xiao Tianci today, he must have wanted him to cooperate with him to deal with this kid.

"It's not difficult to deal with this son. I guess that Xiao Tianci's son will send someone to the king's capital to meet the new king after occupying the entire Tianqingzhou to seek an imperial edict. After all, he is just a small city lord. It is not right to occupy Tianqingzhou now. Moreover, he is in a war and needs to rest and recuperate. He is also afraid that those who are interested will use this as an excuse to attack him." Pang Ruhai said here, his eyes like eagle-like open and close, and there is a hint of glitter inside.

Han Guang said: "I think after his people arrive at the capital, they will definitely ask the new king for the imperial edict in the court. At this time, Lord Ji needs to cooperate. We must reject the envoy of this son, and at the same time accuse him of being ruthless, killing the Duke of the Fuguo, occupying Tianqingzhou, and trying to break up the soil and become king. Hehe! It would be best if the new king can issue an order to attack him. If it fails, no matter how bad it is, his intention to envoy will not be realized and become orthodox in terms of status."

"Okay, let's do everything as Mr. Pang said. I will make arrangements after I return home." After hearing this, Ji Xiangcheng thought for a moment, nodded and agreed.

Later, the two discussed and made arrangements for the next plan.

...

More than ten days after the last large-scale military and political meeting, the entire Tianqing Prefecture has basically been completely controlled by Xiao Tianci. All military and political affairs arranged at the meeting have begun to be implemented in an orderly manner throughout the prefecture. However, some places are newly occupied land, and the people are still a little resistant to Xiao Tianci. The implementation of the new policy is relatively difficult, especially in Gusu Prefecture, where the salt well is taken over, which has caused great contradictions.

Xiao Tianci has been staying in Xingye City for the past ten days, and he is so busy that he has occupied such a large territory and is in trouble. He has to deal with many things, which makes this lazy guy often complain. Unexpectedly, he is so tired after becoming a leader. It is really unhappy.

On this day, Xiao Tianci had just finished the matter and was about to leave the mansion, but saw Jia Xu hurried in with a worried look on his face.

"Wenhe, why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Tianci was almost knocked over by Jia Xu who was eager to walk in, and said a little dissatisfied.

Jia Xu didn't care about so much and exclaimed: "Lord, tens of thousands of people in Gusu's Mansion have caused trouble, and now they are blocked in Gusu's city. Yan Yan, the garrison general of Gusu's Mansion, dared not deal with it. He sent a letter to report, asking the lord to make a decision."

"Oh, why did the rebellion occur? These people are full and full? Or did these new officials of the Gusu Prefecture do something that is so angry that people are resentful that it aroused public anger?" Xiao Tianci was shocked after hearing Jia Xu's words and asked quickly.

"Return to the lord, judging from the situation of the Shadow Guard's return, it should be caused by the public ownership of the salt well." Jia Xu glanced at Xiao Tianci and whispered: "A few days ago, Gusu Prefecture began to implement the salt iron and iron system, and sent people to take over all the salt wells in Gusu Prefecture, but he did not expect that the disaster would be laid. Those forces who used to secretly control the salt well did not dare to jump out to oppose it in person. After all, our army is powerful, so these people quietly aroused the people to encircle Gusu City, causing chaos."

"Hmph! So that's it. I knew that this matter would definitely not go well. I didn't expect these people to use this trick." Xiao Tianci snorted coldly, and said with a little ugly expression: "These people are too, they have no brains and are encouraged casually. It's really unreasonable."

"Lord, these people are actually blind. After all, there were tens of thousands of people working in the salt well in the Gusu Mansion. The forces that once controlled the salt well this time used the excuse of the government confiscating the salt well and leaving everyone unemployed, which led to the workers working in the salt well being very dissatisfied. Under the guidance of those who are interested, the situation in the Gusu Mansion was finally surrounded by tens of thousands of people." Jia Xu explained.

"Hmph, a group of rich salt bandits can have such courage, and they are really looking for death." Xiao Tianci snorted coldly, "It seems that I am too kind to the city lord, which makes these people think I am easy to bully. This time, I must let these people take a good look at who is the master of Tianqingzhou."

Speaking of this, Xiao Tianci turned around and returned to the room and picked up the silver spear and walked quickly outside the door. While walking, he said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, I will take my troops to Gusu City first. Contact Yan Yan directly and ask him to send troops to maintain the stability of Gusu City quickly. If anyone commits evil, he will be killed without mercy."

"Yes, lord."

Xiao Tianci didn't have many men and horses. Now his troops have basically been scattered across Tianqingzhou, and the Gusu Prefecture garrison camp has tens of thousands of troops stationed. Therefore, this time he only brought Dian Wei and the 360 ​​re-expanded demon guards.

Hundreds of people rushed all the way toward Gusu City. After two days, they finally arrived at Gusu City on the morning of the third day.

After arriving at Gusu City, Xiao Tianci found that the city had returned to peace. However, the mess left by tens of thousands of people on both sides of the streets could still be seen. Many shops in the city were still closed, and even the shops that opened their doors were cautious and frightened.

Xiao Tianci came directly to the garrison camp with a hint of doubt, but found that Yan Yan was not in the camp and asked someone to ask the soldiers who were left behind. Xiao Tianci learned that Yan Yan had successfully driven away the people gathered in the city yesterday, and directly led his troops to Shanggang Town, a hundred miles away from Gusu City. It was the salt-producing place of the entire Gusu Prefecture. However, this soldier didn't know much news and did not know why Yan Yan brought the army over. After hearing this, Xiao Tianci immediately took people to chase Shanggang Town.

Shanggang Town is located in the mountains and forests west of Gusu City. It is a remote place and is originally an uninhabited place. Later, with the discovery and mining of the salt well, a gathering place was gradually formed. Later, the imperial court established an administrative unit. The town has a small population, about 100,000 people, almost all of them are workers working in the salt well and the families of these people. It can be said that Shanggang Town is a salt town established for salt.

When Xiao Tianci and his friends arrived at Shanggang Town, they found that the army led by Yan Yan was camping several miles outside the town. Judging from the size, this old guy probably brought one-quarter of the entire Gusu City's troops, with nearly ten thousand troops.

Upon hearing that Xiao Tianci arrived, Yan Yan quickly came out and bowed and said, "Greetings to the lord."

"Hebrew, don't be polite, what's the situation now?" Xiao Tianci waved at him and directly dismounted.

"The lord is galloping all the way, it's better to go to the camp to rest and drink some tea. I'll talk to the lord in detail." Yan Yan took two steps back and looked at Xiao Tianci and said seriously.

"Okay, let's go to the camp first." After rushing around, Xiao Tianci felt a little dry and nodded and followed Yan Yan into the camp.
