Since Emperor Chihui issued the order to attack Lu Ganhai, all forces have taken action.
Under the emperor's order, Ding Yunyi, who was trapped in the court, finally had the opportunity to return to Yingnan and regain his freedom.
Before this, he led his troops north to welcome Emperor Chihui, but unexpectedly Xiahou Jing got there first and asked the emperor to move the capital to Yingcheng.
Originally, Ding Yunyi wanted to enter the court to assist the emperor in maintaining the country, but unexpectedly, Xiahou Jing monopolized power and gradually sidelined the emperor.
He had limited influence in the court and was unable to help the emperor.
If you stay in Yingdu for a long time, your life might be in danger.
Although he hid himself well, he was still a member of the royal family of the Chi Dynasty, and a chess piece that Xiahou Jing had to get rid of in order to realize his ambition.
"Brother, I advised you to go back before but you refused. Why are you in such a hurry to go back now?" Zhu Yanyi, who was riding a horse, asked in confusion.
"Yan Yi, I went to Yingdu because I was worried that the emperor had no one to use. After arriving in Yingdu, I learned that Xiahou Jing actually had evil ambitions and wanted to monopolize power!" Ding Yunyi said angrily. At this moment, he was galloping on the land outside Yingdu, and the distress that he had hidden for a long time could finally be expressed!
"Yesterday, the emperor suddenly ordered me to lead the troops to war and even gave me the emperor's sword. There must be a deep meaning behind this."
"Brother stayed up all night and finally figured out the Holy Spirit's intention."
"The emperor's intention is for us to expand the royalist forces outside and force Xiahou Jing to not dare to make any move against the Red Dynasty!"
After saying that, Ding Yunyi shouted "Go!" again and quickened his pace to leave Yingdu.
On the other side, on the city wall of Yingdu.
"My lord, we can still catch up with them. Please let me lead the troops to kill Ding Yunyi!" Qin Yuanlie volunteered to Xiahou Jing.
Xiahou Jing just watched Ding Yunyi's receding figure silently without answering Qin Yuanlie.
He looked at Guo Xiaohe standing beside him and asked for his opinion: "Xiaohe, what do you think?"
Ding Yunyi fanned himself calmly and expressed his own views.
"General Yuan Lie, if the lord wanted to kill Ding Yunyi, he could have sent someone to assassinate him last night. Why mobilize the army now?"
"Of course, it's not too late to kill him now."
"However, I do not recommend taking action against Ding Yunyi now. First, our most urgent task is to defeat the bandits on land. Second, our army is weak and we cannot afford to make any more enemies. Third, slaughtering the royal family will easily lose the support of the people."
Xiahou Jing nodded, then looked at Qin Yuanlie and said, "Yuanlie, do you understand what I mean now?"
"I understand. I will continue to prepare for the attack on Lu." After saying that, Qin Yuanlie ran to the military camp.
Ding Yunyi's figure had already disappeared into the distance, and at this moment an eagle happened to fly across the sky.
"Yun Yi...you and I are both heroes of this troubled time. After this separation, we will be enemies next time."
Xiahou Jing flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away from Ding Yunyi.
…
On the same day that Ding Yunyi left Yingdu, a major event also occurred in Xiangjiang County.
The prefect of Xiangjiang County was thrown into prison, and Ding Nanjing personally ordered the execution of the magistrate of Guangyang County.
The reason is simple. Both of them have a profit-sharing relationship with Huxiaozhai and act as a protective umbrella for Huxiaozhai and many other mountain strongholds in the territory.
Before this, he had turned a blind eye, but for some reason, Huxiaozhai was so bold as to offend Chengtian Academy.
Ding Nanjing was well aware of the influence of the five academies, especially Chengtian Academy, which could provide talents for his own forces!
Moreover, if Xiangzhou is to be further developed, these rebellious bandits must be dealt with.
So he joined forces with Chengtian Academy to suppress the bandits.
In addition, there are rumors that Huxiaozhai is secretly communicating with the rebel Lu Ganhai.
As a result, Huxiaozhai was the first to be attacked.
"A-choo——" Lin Tongxi sneezed as soon as he woke up. He had an inexplicable feeling, as if his behavior had caused something terrible.
There is a term called the butterfly effect.
It means that a butterfly flapping its wings in South America can trigger a tornado in Texas, North America two weeks later.
Lin Tongxi went out, lit a cigarette, and looked in the direction of Jutian Mountain.
He didn't know whether his plan worked, nor did he know whether it had successfully caused a fight between Huxiao Village and Chengtian Academy.
Chen Yunxuan came behind him again, but this time he brought Su Ruoxue, the village chief and Sun Youcai with him.
"Young Master Tongxi, I heard from Youcai that... you killed those bandits?"
Lin Tongxi almost couldn't even hold the cigarette!
What about the confidentiality you promised?
Lin Tongxi didn't even smoke his cigarette. He just threw it on the ground and stepped on it, then stared at Sun Youcai.
"Young Master Tongxi, calm down! I only told the village chief!" Sun Youcai instantly became intimidated. He had witnessed with his own eyes how this ruthless killer silenced witnesses!
"Hahahahaha!" Lin Tongxi patted Sun Youcai's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, Shopkeeper Sun. I'm just trying to scare you."
"Village chief, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." Lin Tongxi apologized immediately.
Fortunately, the village chief is not an unreasonable person.
If it were other conservative villagers, they would have driven them out of the village with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves long ago.
"Young man, you are also thinking about our village. How could I not understand your intentions?" Li Changhe said, and then he sighed again.
"Originally, since you have contributed greatly to resolving the dispute between the Li and Zhao clans in this village, I would like to keep you for a while longer..."
"But if the Tiger Roaring Village finds you here and discovers you guys, I will be speechless."
"Even though you tried to pin the blame on Chengtian Academy, those bandits wouldn't really bother them!"
"I'm afraid they'll start to suspect the surrounding villages, and even if they don't have any evidence, they might take it out on us."
