Chapter 334: Sadistic Love (Thirty-Nine) Begging for monthly tickets
Huo Wuniang: ...That's it? Not bad? Jiulang must have been so angry after seeing this dilapidated scene.
Or, Jiulang still has expectations for the city?
Thinking of this, Huo Wuniang kicked the step and rode into the city.
When passing through the city gate, he didn't even look at the soldiers who were leaning against the gate catching lice and basking in the sun.
The soldiers were not at all panicked by Gu Qingcheng and her men, nor did they have any intention of rising up to fight the enemy.
They didn't seem to care whether the visitor was friend or foe.
It doesn't matter whether these people are just passing by or coming to occupy the city.
So what if they care? They have already come, so why would we care whether they care or not? Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty or the cavalry of the Western Rong or Yu Dynasty, they came and went every year.
The people and soldiers in the North City have gotten used to it.
I'm numb too!
They have only one idea, to live!
As long as the invaders don't massacre the city but just steal some things or women, the people in the North City will not resist.
"This city makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it!"
“Maybe it’ll be better in the city!”
"Huo Wu, wait for me! I'm going too!"
"Yes! Let's go around the city!"
More than a dozen N generations were frightened when they saw such a city for the first time.
They still had a glimmer of hope, so they rode their horses into the city.
Gu Qingcheng was not in a hurry to enter the city.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Qingcheng held a stack of information in his hand.
During the period of recuperation in Xizhou, Gu Qingcheng was not idle.
She arranged more than a dozen spies to go to the North City in advance.
She had found out everything about the government offices, garrisons, people, land, and so on in the northern city.
She studied the information in her hands over and over again.
The situation in North City is really complicated and a little absurd.
Can you imagine that the county magistrate of Beicheng, a border town nominally belonging to the Qing Dynasty, is actually from the Yu Dynasty?
Can you imagine that the two major trading companies in the North City actually have a very close relationship with the Western Rong? From the common people to the military households, they do not have a clear concept of nationality.
When the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty came, they would obey; when the troops of the Yu Dynasty came, they would obediently offer food.
The most terrifying thing is that there seems to be no law here! People don’t even know what the Qing Law is.
Maybe it was because the North City was too chaotic and difficult, and ordinary people, as well as the elderly, the weak, women and children, all left (disappeared?), leaving only a few extremely vicious criminals.
Murders in the streets happen from time to time.
It is also normal to disguise yourself as a horse bandit and rob other border towns!
"This is a den of thieves!"
"Or is it the Qing Dynasty version of the Black Triangle?"
Gu Qingcheng held the information, looked at the ruined city, and sighed silently in her heart.
Not long after, Huo Wuniang and a group of N generations came back on horseback.
There was something indescribable written on everyone's faces.
Huo Wuniang rode to the side of the carriage, bent down, and whispered to Gu Qingcheng through the window, "Jiulang, the city is even worse!"
She actually backed off a bit.
She was not afraid, but worried that the Ninth Prince would be disappointed!
My husband treats this place as his own territory. During this period, he has been actively preparing and full of hope.
As a result, the North City is in such a terrible state.
Too chaotic, too poor, no women or children, no life, it's not a normal city at all! "Unbearable? Are there people breaking the law?"
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be ignorant of the inside story and asked a question following Huo Wuniang's words.
"..." Huo Wuniang and the other N generations were speechless.
It's such a lawless den of thieves, and Jiulang actually still hopes that there will be law here?
Oh, yes!
Their Jiulang attaches the most importance to the law.
He talks about "Qing Law" all the time.
But the problem is that the emperor is far away and the Qing Code is completely useless.
"Are there really people who break the law?"
Gu Qingcheng glanced at everyone's faces and pretended to be angry.
Huo Wuniang coughed lightly and cleared her throat. She wanted to pull her husband back to reality from his ideal: "Jiulang, the magistrate of the city, seems to be the biggest bandit leader!"
He was the leader in killing and looting, so how could the common people and soldiers abide by the law? "The bandit leader? He should be killed!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed to be angry.
She opened the car door and said to Huo Wuniang and the other Nth Generations, "In this bright and clear world, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, there are still such rebellious people. Today, I will let them know what the Qing Law is!"
Huo Wuniang: ...
When she saw her husband's angry look, she seemed to understand something.
"Jiulang, what do you mean——"
"kill!"
Gu Qingcheng gently uttered this bloody word.
"Anyone who violates the Qing Code in the northern city shall be punished according to the law."
"Kill those who deserve to be killed! Catch those who deserve to be caught!"
Gu Qingcheng still looked weak, but her aura was extremely fierce.
Huo Wuniang swallowed her saliva and asked with a little uneasiness: "If everyone in the city——"
"Then kill them all!"
Gu Qingcheng's beautiful lips opened and closed, but such cruel words came out.
"……good!"
After traveling together for the entire journey and witnessing the Ninth Prince's abilities, not only Huo Wuniang, but also a group of N generations were very convinced of him.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Especially the Nth generation, they did not leave with their families, but insisted on staying.
It's not just about revenge, it's about striving for honor and achieving success.
They also believe in the Ninth Prince.
They are investing in advance!
They are all children of powerful families and have some basic political literacy.
In the family, they are either the youngest son, a concubine's son, or a member of a side branch.
You can't rely on your family at all.
They can only rely on themselves.
Establishing military merits is only on the surface.
In fact, they also choose their own "master" among the princes.
If they choose the right one, they will not only have a bright future, but also a prosperous and wealthy life for their descendants! If they choose the wrong one, it doesn’t matter, they still have a way out.
At worst, I can return to the capital and continue to be a poor kid with no future but who will not starve to death.
The Nth generation have already recognized the Ninth Prince, and when they hear Gu Qingcheng's words, they will have no objection at all.
Besides, what the Ninth Prince said makes sense.
North City will be their territory from now on, and they must follow the rules of the Ninth Prince.
Those who are disobedient, oh no, those who violate the Qing Law, will all be killed.
"kill!"
With the experience gained along the way, Gu Qingcheng no longer needs to do any pre-station mobilization.
All the N generations were full of murderous intent.
In their eyes, the people in the North City were not the people of the Qing Dynasty at all, but the monsters they used to gain merit! Killing them would not only earn them merit, but also give them loot.
For example, the county magistrate has been entrenched in the north city for many years and must have accumulated a lot of wealth.
If we kill him, all the family property will be spoils of war! The Ninth Prince has always been generous and never eats alone.
With the spoils, three parts are given to myself and all the N generations.
Seventy percent was used to compensate the casualties and distributed among the soldiers.
Gu Qingcheng was able to gather the troops' hearts in the shortest possible time, relying on the tangible benefits -
Those who want military merit will get it, and those who want valuable things will get gold and silver.
From top to bottom, even the captain sent by Emperor Qing, all were convinced by Gu Qingcheng!
At a command, Huo Wuniang charged forward, followed closely by the N generations.
The Huo family and their followers and guards of many generations were all closely protecting their young master.
The last were five hundred soldiers.
Gu Qingcheng was still at the back, protected by a dozen or so of the prince's personal guards.
In the afterglow of dusk, orange light enveloped the ruined city.
...What a desolate picture of the border town.
At this moment, sounds of fighting, begging for mercy, and wailing were heard in the scroll, as if it had turned into hell.
The soldiers at the city gate, who were originally numb, were all shaking with fear.
They just prostrated themselves on the ground, holding their heads with their hands, and desperately shouted, "Mercy! Mercy!"
They were filled with despair - why were they still killing people?
These people look like officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty!
North City, the weather has changed! The sky gradually darkened, and the sounds of fighting in the city gradually stopped.
Gu Qingcheng had been sitting leisurely in the carriage, drinking tea and reading.
She didn't put down the book until the light completely dimmed.
Dadada! A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded from the city.
There was a little blood on Huo Wuniang's fair face, and the bloodiness and cruelty in her eyes still remained.
Only when they arrived in front of the carriage did Huo Wuniang calm down, "Jiulang! Behead all the main culprits, a total of 137 people."
"The rest of you must surrender and wait for your crimes to be investigated. Jiulang will then make the final decision!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled, her beautiful smile lighting up the dim sky and earth, "Okay!"
You are worthy of being my champion, you are really brave!
