Fairy, Please Let Me Explain Chapter 160

  Chapter 160 Doing things

   Infighting is not unique to sects.

   In a sense, the imperial court fought more intensely.

  Because Dayan is too big, the court is much bigger than a single sect's base, and the interest entanglements are also too complicated.

  Especially in recent years, the turmoil in the court has almost been wave after wave.

  In memory, Xu Yuan's most intuitive feeling is from Jiaofang Division.

  Since five years ago, basically the top talent at the Jiaofang Division has been iterating rapidly every month.

  Today there will be a Mrs. Yushi, and tomorrow there will be an extra servant's daughter.

  Returning to the Imperial Capital this time, Xu Yuan reckoned that he should be able to see a lot of high-priced newcomers in the Jiaofang Division.

  Because three months ago, the previous Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister of the Ministry of Households were ransacked.

   This is the highest-ranking official whose house has been ransacked in recent years.

  Xu Yuan doesn't know the inside story now, but he knows that in the decades since the emperor ascended the throne, with the efforts of the emperor and the father, most of the stubborn old forces in the previous dynasty have been cleaned up.

   In other words, the most important ministers above the court are basically the prime minister and the emperor's own people.

  But now the top leaders of the two most important departments of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households have been ransacked directly.

  In the past, most of the officials of this level were transferred, and the most ruthless time was to let them retire and return to their hometowns. Even if the internal strife was kept within a controllable range, those who died were some low-level officials.

  But now they just ransacked the house.

   This is a dead hand.

   As a former dude, Xu Yuan didn't know which side the two officials belonged to in private, but no matter whether the two officials were from the Xiangguo family or the Emperor's family, this already showed that the internal struggle in the court was gradually intensifying.

  These people are the lessons learned by the Xiangguo Mansion.

  With the current size of the Xiangguo Mansion, there is no such thing as drinking wine and releasing military power. In this position, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and after taking a step back, there will be an abyss.

  After the words fell, there was silence one by one.

  Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes showed an unconcealable shake.

  Although she was explaining to Ran Qingmo, she knew that a large part of what the third brother said was for her.

  In order to crush the thoughts in her heart.

   Ran Qingmo on the side didn't think so much compared to Xu Xinyao, and was a little quieter, then asked aloud:

   "But if there will definitely be swords and swords, why do you have to enter into a marriage contract?"

  Xu Yuan pondered a little, shook his head and smiled:

   "This marriage contract is a covenant of change of direction."

  Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled:

   "Is this covenant useful?"

   "It didn't work."

  Xu Yuan denied the binding ability of this marriage contract without hesitation: "This kind of covenant that can only cover up contradictions is signed only to be torn up later."

  If the marriage could ease the conflict, there would not be so many wars between the dynasties and nomads in the previous life.

  But after a pause, Xu Yuan added:

   "But both the emperor and my father need this thing."

  Ran Qingmo looked at Xu Yuan, blinking his eyes, as if trying to figure out the reason behind it, but in the end he couldn't figure it out.

  She didn't understand why she would go to such lengths to do something so non-binding.

  Xu Yuan looked into her eyes:

   "The conflicts accumulated between the emperor and my father over the past few decades have grown a little bit, and if this continues, there is a high probability that it will intensify, but now we can't tear our faces apart, and we need to rely on each other's strength.

"With this marriage, under today's conditions, everyone can communicate through this marriage if they want to have conflicts. After all, the princess and I are both direct relatives of both parties. Before the relationship really broke down, more or less Little will take care of some."

   "You can understand that this is a signal or a sign that the two parties want to reconcile."

  Ran Qingmo looked down at the ink sword in his hand when he heard the words:

"oh"

  Xu Yuan noticed her eyes:

"What's wrong?"

  Ran Qingmo shook his head:

"nothing."

  Xu Yuan bent his eyes and approached her ear:

   "What, do you feel uncomfortable?"

  Feeling the man approaching, Ran Qingmo raised her gloomy eyes to glance at him, then lowered them again:

".A little."

  Xu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

  The second daughter didn't wait for him to continue walking towards the main hall of the county government, her slender figure walking further and further away in her eyes.

   After a long silence, the corners of Xu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, but then he sighed and followed quickly:

   "Actually, you don't have to feel uncomfortable."

  Ran Qingmo glanced at him sideways, but there was still some downcast in his eyes: "Oh"

  Xu Yuan thought for a while, then whispered:

   "I'm serious, because you are special to me."

   "." Ran Qingmo stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened slightly, staring at him flickeringly.

  Xu Xinyao, who was in chaos at the side, also cast her eyes subconsciously when she saw this, she temporarily put aside her complicated emotions, and there was a little curiosity in her eyes, looking at the first disciple of the Sword Sect and her third brother.

  Xu Yuan glanced at her, waved his hand, and signaled her to get out of here.

  Xu Xinyao pursed her lips, but she didn't intend to leave.

   Seeing this, Xu Yuan just let her go.

  Ran Qingmo's beautiful eyes were filled with emotions, but in the end she lowered herself and walked forward silently.

   "." Xu Yuan.

  Xu Xinyao poked Xu Yuan.

  Xu Yuan looked back.

  Xu Xinyao made a lip-synch:

   Don't you want to comfort me?

  Xu Yuan rolled his eyes at the four younger sisters, and said:

   "It didn't work."

   "." Xu Xinyao was a little speechless, and sighed.

  Xu Yuan's eyes twitched.

  Although Ran Qingmo was a little dazed about certain things, she was not stupid. What's more, the words that diverted conflicts in her previous life basically had no effect on her to fool her.

  Xu Xinyao didn't talk to Xu Yuanduo, but quickly followed up and walked side by side with Ran Qingmo, whispering something to her in a low voice.

  In the main hall of the county government office,

  Lieutenant Wang has already taken off his military uniform. He is dressed in a brown cloth with blood oozing faintly on the surface. He is rubbing the center of his brows vigorously. An adjutant is standing beside him, reporting various matters in the city to him in a low voice:

  "The roster of the brothers who died in battle has been counted. Here is the roster. 5,369 people were killed in battle, and 2,765 people are missing."

  “. We temporarily recruited conscripts in the city to clean up the ruins and corpses on the streets, but the speed is still too slow.”

   ". The stockpile of medicinal materials in the city has bottomed out. It is estimated that many people will not survive tonight."

   One by one, the adjutant continued to report, and the adjutant's tone suddenly sank slightly:

   "What's more, those warriors in the caravan group have begun to be dishonest."

  Hearing this, Xiaowei Wang, who kept his eyes closed, put his hand down, and his voice was a little tired:

   "Tell me carefully."

  The adjutant was slightly silent when he heard the words, and said in a low voice:

"The city walls in the west and south of the city were destroyed, and a large residential area over there was in ruins. Now that the wave of monsters and beasts has receded, many people went home to collect money, but some warriors had already snatched the property first, and conflicts arose. Under the circumstances, some people have been silenced.

   "And more importantly, the remaining animal pills and materials left by those monsters outside the city are also being embezzled by the caravan."

  Being quiet for a while, Xiaowei Wang suddenly slapped the copy in front of him with his palm.

  The table table was broken by Wang Xiaowei's palm.

   "This group of bastards! The defense of the city has not done enough, and it has more than failed. How dare they come out now?!"

   After finishing speaking, Captain Wang let out a long breath and smiled coldly:

"It doesn't matter. Hold them temporarily and let them hurry up to clean up the corpses in the city. As for the monster inner alchemy and materials, let them take as much as they can. When the reinforcements arrive, let them make money with interest." Spit it out! If you don't spit it out, no one will leave the city!”

  The adjutant clasped his fists and saluted:

   "Yes, General."

  Lieutenant Wang pondered for a while, and added:

   "Remember, we just turn a blind eye and close one eye, and don't want to reach an agreement with them officially."

"yes."

   "Is there anything else?"

  The adjutant thought for a while, then said in a low voice:

   "General, Doctor Cheng has just sent the news that the cleaning powder has been used up. If this continues, the plague will soon occur."

  Wang Xiaowei was slightly pondering when he heard the words, and said in a low voice:

   "Then let people transport the corpses out of the city as soon as possible."

  The adjutant shook his head lightly when he heard the words, and said:

   "General, Dr. Cheng said that it may not be possible to just transport it out, and it must be burned."

   "Burn?" Captain Wang frowned.

  The adjutant glanced around, and whispered to Lieutenant Wang:

   "Make a separation zone in the city, and burn all the corpses in the south and west of the city with a single fire."

  Hearing what the adjutant said, Captain Wang just asked:

   "If it burns, is it confirmed that it can stop the outbreak of the plague?"

  The adjutant shook his head: "It just reduces the chance."

  Lieutenant Wang lowered his eyes and tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his callused palm. After a while, he whispered:

   "Go organize your people and clean up a piece of it."

   "General Wang!"

The adjutant interrupted Xiaowei Wang, and his tone became a little more serious: "Even if the loss is counted, there are tens of thousands of monster inner pills and materials. If all of them are sold, it is enough for us in Shengshan County to re-engrav the pattern, and even train the new army. "

   Captain Wang nodded and said:

"I know."

   "Then why?"

   Captain Wang looked at the adjutant and forced a smile:

   "The people are gone. Shengshan County is really gone. The court will definitely provide relief for such a large casualty. Go down and prepare."

  The adjutant did not move.

   Captain Wang frowned:

   "Li Chengqi, do you want to disobey?"

  The adjutant shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice:

   "General, we only have two hundred brothers who can move now, which is simply not enough. If you order this kind of thing, the caravan gangs in the city will not agree."

   Captain Wang grinned coldly:

   "Do you think they dare to rebel?"

  The adjutant shook his head:

   "They dare not, but they dare not do their best. With the people we have now, we simply cannot complete such a large project."

   Captain Wang was silent, and finally sighed helplessly: "Go down, let me stay alone for a while."

  The adjutant stood on the spot and paused for a few breaths, cupped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully:

   "General, you rest, I will go down first."

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the main hall, leaving Xiaowei Wang sitting alone in front of the desk that was broken in two.

  For a while,

  Lieutenant Wang bowed slightly, picked up the list of dead and missing from the ground, and carefully flipped through the pages.

  The sound of turning pages echoed in the silent main hall.

  Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar names on these rosters, his fists were clenched bit by bit.

  He has been in Shengshan since he joined the army.

   Twenty-seven years.

   From Xiaowang, to Brother Wang, to Uncle Wang.

He has met all the people represented by these names on the roster, and many people in it have crossed paths, some called him General Wang, some called him Uncle, and some people came back from the market and happily told him that they picked up a lot today. If you miss it, you can make a good fortune and improve the barracks in the coming year.

  Now, they have all become a few words on this roster.

  Lieutenant Wang, he couldn't treat these young people as numbers like those superiors, because they used to be a group of living people in front of his eyes.

   Page after page, until the last few pages, Captain Wang's breathing gradually became difficult.

  A strong sense of suffocation almost enveloped his whole body.

   "Vientiane School"

  A voice that almost gnawed his teeth rang out in the quiet main hall of the county government. His hand holding the register was bruised, but the burly middle-aged man was still unwilling to destroy the register.

I don't know how long it took, Captain Wang slowly picked up the brush on the ground, lightly dipped the ink that had spilled on the ground, then opened the roster, and wrote down his name on the last row of the last page. name.

   After finishing all this, Xiaowei Wang leaned gently on the chair and smiled in a low voice, very relieved.

  He is going to Wanxiangzong to seek justice.

  Even if they knew that there was a high probability that they would die this time, the brothers in these military camps, the people who died, and the dilapidated Shengshan County all needed justice.

  Thinking to get here, Xiaowei Wang casually put the roster on the ground.

   And at this time,

   "Captain Wang, what do you want to do?"

  A low voice sounded beside him.

   Captain Wang's pupils shrank slightly, but he was relieved immediately, because he recognized who the familiar voice was, and slowly got up and looked back:

   "Young Master Zhou, when did you come?"

  I saw a handsome blood-clothed son standing behind him, looking at him calmly.

  Xu Yuan didn't say a word when he heard the words, he glanced at him calmly, walked up slowly and picked up the roster on the ground, opened it and flipped through it for a while, and sighed softly when he saw the name on the last page:

   "Actually, you don't have to do this."

   Captain Wang did not speak:

  Xu Yuan looked at him and asked:

   "You don't believe that the imperial court will attack Wanxiangzong?"

   Captain Wang shook his head:

"It's not that I don't believe it. I have stayed in Xizezhou for so many years. I am very familiar with everything around here. It will involve a lot of things to attack the Wanxiang sect. If Shengshan County is really gone, maybe the court will for political purposes. Take action against the Vientiane Sect, but the current situation is highly unlikely, Shengshan County needs disaster relief and reconstruction.”

  Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, and he sighed softly:

   "You are right, the court will indeed not attack Wanxiangzong."

   Captain Wang smiled, and looked down at his calloused hands:

   "So, someone has to do something."
