Chapter 619: If you don’t kill them all today, are you waiting to be killed in return tomorrow?

With the topographic map, and Xu Yu secretly mobilizing some of his power as the young master of the Xu family, and with the assistance of the omnipresent secret guards, things went smoothly.

Rongchang, Lu Xin and others were not given any arrangements. They just felt that they had enjoyed three days of happiness in the city. The days were sunnier than ever before.

But in the past few days, the atmosphere in Yongzhou City has become increasingly tense.

More and more people are inexplicably falling into all kinds of messy dreams.

And they are all concentrated on officials and rich people.

You can’t tell anyone what you dreamed about, but if the same thing happens to your whole family over and over again, it’s really strange.

Some people thought that the patient might have been poisoned, but the doctors who were invited in one after another checked and felt the patient's pulse one by one, and the conclusion they came to was that there was no poison and everything was fine.

The strange smell became stronger.

Unspeakable doubts, inescapable dreams, everything piled together, inexplicably giving rise to endless ominous premonitions in people's hearts.

Just as the wealthy and powerful were trying to figure out what was going on, more and more people were in similar situations.

This time, the people affected are the people in the market.

The wealthy family, who had been troubled before, gradually found that they were no longer so confused, and the number of times they fell asleep and dreamed was also decreasing.

However, through the vermilion door panels and courtyard walls, all kinds of rumors that were pouring in from the streets and alleys outside were becoming more and more intense.

Some people said that something big was going to happen, otherwise it wouldn't be so strange.

Some people say that this is a warning from God that a storm is about to come.

Others said that this was the work of evil spirits and that a Taoist master should be invited to eliminate it.

There were all kinds of opinions and comments, and these words were even more irritating to the ears of the Yongzhou prefect.

Pan Chen, the governor of Yongzhou, was one of the first people to begin to suffer from hallucinations.

From the time I noticed I was feeling unwell to the time I consulted many doctors, all were ineffective.

Pan Chen was aware of the rumors that had been circulating in the city for days, but he himself was wavering.

The situation of the wealthy families who first started spreading the story of dream hallucinations has weakened a lot, and some people are even no longer affected at all.

But Pan Chen could never get rid of it.

He could sleep for eight out of twelve hours a day, and every moment with his eyes closed he was struggling in a bizarre dream.

This is too weird.

If this was really a warning from God, what was it trying to warn him about?

So many people have coincidentally fallen into the same struggle. Could this warning be directed only at him?

Pan Chen was filled with doubt and was considering asking a senior monk to take a look when his subordinate suddenly came to report, "Sir!"

"My Lord, something went wrong in Dingyang County!"

"What?"

Pan Chen sat up suddenly: "What happened?"

"Dingyang County... In Dingyang County, a monk was preaching Buddhist scriptures when a mountain collapsed!"

"A landslide?"

Pan Chen said impatiently: "How many people are injured? According to the rules, save people first, wait..."

"No...no one was hurt."

The person who brought the news said with a sad face: "But this is more serious than hurting people..."

"Sir, the landslide unleashed some debris, which, when pieced together, formed a sentence. That sentence... that sentence is taboo!"

"It's a huge taboo!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Chen could no longer sit still. He led his men to rush to the site of the landslide in Dingyang County with a feeling of dizziness.

After Xu Yu got the news, he flicked his fingertips and said lightly, "Okay, we can go now."

Rongchang and Lu Xin have been having a lot of fun these days.

I was so happy that I almost forgot what I was here for.

Hearing Xu Yu's sudden words, Rong Chang asked in bewilderment, "Are we leaving now? Not waiting any longer?"

"Waiting for what?"

Xu Yu glanced at him with a half-smile in his eyes: "Wait until you finish eating this roast chicken?"

An old face became popular in Rongchang.

Lu Xin suppressed his laughter and said, "Just hold it and chew it on the way. Boss, shall we set off now?"

"No rush."

"After tonight."

Xu Yu picked up the rag and slowly wiped the small dagger in his hand, saying lightly: "Maybe we have to see some blood before we can leave."

When Xu Yu led his men away from Yongzhou City without leaving a trace, a tragic incident occurred in the city where an entire family was wiped out.

The master of the Sun family was a scoundrel. When he heard about what happened in Dingyang County during the day, the first thing he blurted out was "absurd."

Mr. Sun was devotedly loyal to the imperial court. Whenever he mentioned the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, he would insist that his virtue was unparalleled in the world, and he would constantly boast about him.

For this reason, he even had several servants who were gossiping in the mansion thrown out of the Sun Mansion, saying that anyone who dared to say anything that shouldn't be said would be punished in the same way.

Perhaps in order to appear unique and different, this matter, which should have been kept within the palace, was leaked out, and then...

Late that night, the entire Sun family was in mourning.

When Pan Chen got the news the next day and rushed to Sun's house with soldiers, he felt cold and sweaty all over, as if he had seen countless living ghosts in broad daylight.

It's so weird.

The way the entire Sun family died was so strange.

There was no trace of blood, no signs of fighting, and even things like silver, money and treasures were all in their original positions without moving.

The person just lay in bed and died quietly.

The death was peaceful and tranquil.

It doesn't feel like heading to the underworld, but rather like ascending to some paradise.

Pan Chen gritted his teeth, suppressing his fear: "Call the coroner to perform an autopsy!"

"We must get a result!"

"Autopsy?"

Xu Yu was amused by Rongchang's words and said playfully, "It can't be tested."

If ordinary coroners can see through Mr. Qi's methods, how can the old man still have the nerve to claim that he is the best in the world?

Rongchang felt relieved. Lu Xin's eyes flickered as he thought of something, and he whispered, "Boss, that incredible dream that's been circulating in Yongzhou City these days, is it really a dream?"

Xu Yu looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes: "What do you think?"

Lu Xin shuddered, feeling that he was asking for trouble by talking too much.

Lu Xin immediately covered his mouth and said, "Boss, I won't ask any more questions. Just treat me like a fart."

"I can't fart as big as yours."

Xu Yu shook his whip and taunted him crudely, then said lazily, "Pan Chen will undoubtedly be in a hurry to find that great monk who appeared in Dingyang County. This will free up our hands for another matter."

That is where the highlight of the 8,000 manpower should be.

People who were traveling in groups and converging towards the same destination were like a stream flowing into the sea, arriving separately within the time specified by Xu Yu.

Lu Xin looked at the place pointed out by Xu Yu, and his heart trembled suddenly.

Those were the city defense garrisons stationed in Yongzhou.

Xu Yu lowered his eyes and said, "According to the spies, there are three thousand men stationed here."

Its defending general Yu Gang was promoted by the crown prince and rose all the way here, becoming a nail in the wall between Yongzhou and Lingnan.

Yu Gang tried many times over the years to infiltrate spies into Lingnan, and he became a hub here, winning over officials from near Yongzhou to form a faction.

They came here to remove this nail.

The purpose of this trip was finally made clear, and everyone fell silent after Xu Yu finished speaking.

After a long silence, a stranger frowned and said, "With three thousand garrisons, we do have a significant advantage in manpower, but the prince hasn't given the order to openly start a war yet. What should we do with these people?"

Xu Yu smiled faintly, playing with the folded garrison map in his hand and said, "Kill."

The man was suddenly shocked: "But..."

"Why is that so?"

Xu Yu said lightly, "Since we haven't openly started a war, we must eradicate it completely without leaving any trace."

"A general's success is built on the sacrifices of countless men. I don't need to explain this to you all. To show unnecessary kindness is to be prepared for your own death."

after all……

Including the Sun family that was exterminated, these were all loyal subordinates of the prince.

If you don’t kill them all today, are you waiting to be killed in return tomorrow?

Xu Yu pressed his palm down, forcefully suppressing any possible objections. His expression was calm as he said, "We'll be there in two hours. Show me my order and begin the operation."

"Before dawn, the defense of Yongzhou City will no longer exist in the world."
