Chapter 2409: Green Mountains Do Not Bury Bones
The body of Qiu Tie, the new river official of Jing State, was placed on a high platform piled with yellow mud, imitating the shape of the viewing platform, and echoing Yin Xiaoheng on the Tianma Plateau.
Lou Yue, who publicly declared Pingdeng State as the culprit and vowed to destroy it in Tianjing City the day before, came to receive this gift.
This is undoubtedly a huge provocation.
The revenge from Pingdeng State has begun. And it is so tough and fierce!
Yin Xiaoheng has been dead for two days, and Tiangong City collapsed yesterday.
Jing State searched the world and showed its majesty extremely arrogantly. No one dared to challenge it.
But on the fifth day of March, on the bank of the long river, on the side of the Yellow River, Pingdeng State officially declared war on Jing State!
The pile of corpses on the high platform today is the last "ritual". Tomorrow, the green mountains will not bury the bones, and the long river will not cleanse the souls. Wherever you meet the people of Jing State, you will kill them there.
This is a letter of war to the entire world--
As a follow-up revenge for the destruction of Tiangong City, Pingdeng Nation will kill all the powerful people of Jing Nation who are alone from today on.
No matter if they are real people or real monarchs!
Li Mao, who is being hunted down, cannot be saved by Pingdeng Nation, nor will he be saved. They will engage in endless, equal bloody hunting with Jing Nation!
The blood of every member of Pingdeng Nation must be repaid with the lives of Jing people.
This is the first time they have shown such an attitude since the establishment of Pingdeng Nation.
Bloody, violent, extreme.
In the past, no matter how others looked at it, no matter how the world commented, Pingdeng Nation always regarded itself as an idealist.
"Drinking the water of the gutter with a thirst, aiming to wash away the dirt of the world." is the slogan they often proclaim.
They can endure pain, live in the sewer, and spend the long night with the darkest things in the world, but their ambitions are noble.
They will never admit it, and they will never be seen as a pure riot organization.
Overthrowing the national system is not the goal, "equality for all" is the ideal.
Everything that happened in the meantime is just a process!
They gathered together for a common ideal for different reasons. But as "people who are committed to equality", they have different means to achieve their ideals.
Within the country of equality.
Even the three leaders do not know everyone.
Every newcomer who joins the organization can only join after being recommended by the twelve guardians and then examined by the three leaders.
Of course, the three leaders also have the right to bring people into the organization directly.
Each leader basically only knows those he has examined - among them, King Zhao may know the most people, because he has a unique magical power to change people's appearance, even the True Lord cannot see it. Many members of the country of equality need to hide their original identities, and they all go to him. So King Zhao is indeed the busiest one of the three leaders of the country of equality.
For example, Wang Wei, who was personally accepted into the organization by the Holy Duke, was changed by King Zhao, and then the Holy Duke sent him to Fengdu Ghost Prison to trade with the State of Chu.
In the entire Equality Country, only King Zhao and the Holy Lord knew his true identity.
This extremely secretive mechanism guaranteed the survival of the organization to the greatest extent. The arrest of any one person would not lead to the demise of the entire organization.
The concept of "no need to know each other, no need to know each other" also led to the fact that the behavior of the Equality Country was not completely unified.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, there are many different looks.
Some people believe that the Equality Country represents fairness, justice, equality and truth, while others believe that it is more cruel and evil than the most extreme cults.
Even the three leaders did not have completely consistent answers to equality and the realization of equality. Not to mention other protectors.
For example, the civil strife in Qi and the dispute between Qi and Xia planned by King Zhao in the East Region in the past, with the participation of Fengxian Zhang, was to provoke the Qi-Jing war, cause chaos in the world, and eventually overturn the national system.
For example, the protector Li Mao, Qiantang Jun Bolu, the way he reached the ideal of equality was to build the "Tiangong City" in the Meteorite Forest under extremely special circumstances.
"The world is fair, and all things are equal." He held high the banner of such an ideal, walked under the sun for the first time, and attracted like-minded people.
Of course, they all failed.
But no matter what means or methods, pure killing is not included.
Killing is a means, not an end.
On the way to the ideal, if this experience must be there, it should happen.
But now there is only killing!
What the Equality Country showed seems to be the craziest attitude since the establishment of this organization.
The craziest time is usually when it is about to perish. But before it perishes, what kind of wound will it bite on the giant of Jingguo?
Looking at the entire history of the world, there has never been an organization that dares to stand in front of Jingguo like this.
It's like the destruction of Tiangong City is not the end of the ideal, but the shackles of this beast are unlocked.
The torch was extinguished, and there was endless sneaking in the long night!
"It's really... awesome!"
In the Baiyujing Restaurant in Xingyueyuan, a middle-aged man with a strange face and a vertical scar on his left eye was sitting alone by the window on the ninth floor, listening to the discussions of the drinkers.
Since Jiang Zhenjun built a building and a house here, Xingyueyuan has ended the long-standing chaos and the public security has improved. Xingyueyuan is a key place. Baiyujing Restaurant is well-known all over the world. People from the south and north, east and west, all merchants from all over the world pass through here.
People from Jing, Qi, Mu, Chu, Legalists, Buddhists, Confucians, Mohists... come and go without restraint, and there is a mixture of good and bad people.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the place with the most well-informed information in the world.
The body of Qiu Tie was presented by Pingdeng Country in the morning, and the drinkers in the Baiyujing Restaurant started discussing it in the afternoon.
This kind of news is really good.
The middle-aged man with a strange face, still wearing light armor, can't hide his temperament of being a veteran in the battlefield at all. He looks hard to deal with.
He raised the bowl and drank the wine in front of him.
He was still not satisfied.
Although the news is good, it can be better.
Although the wine is not important, it is also...
The skylight from the window was suddenly blocked.
An uninvited guest sat opposite him.
"Xiahou Lie, what are you talking about?"
The visitor named the name, very directly.
The whole restaurant was silent for a moment.
Looking at this person again, he was tall and long-armed, a little sick and thin, not as vigorous as Xiahou Lie. But his eyes were dark, with a kind of deeply suppressed, hysterical madness.
He is the commander of the evil-slaying army of Jing State, Kuang Ming.
The six guards and seven guards of Jing State, except for the three armies of the royal family, are all local princes.
Among them, the one named [Xiaoqi] is the left guard of Jing State.
Xiahou Lie, the commander of the Xiaoqi, is comparable to a prince in terms of status. He looked up at the person in front of him, grinned, and raised the wine jar beside him: "Of course I'm talking about this wine, Baiyujing's good wine!"
He poured a bowl for Kuang Ming.
The wine was like a mountain spring, clear and accumulated in the wine bowl.
Kuang Ming didn't drink it, and didn't even look at it: "It looks really strong!"
"Are the two guests not satisfied with this wine? Indeed, it doesn't deserve your status!" Shopkeeper Bai is a guest waiter today, and he personally brought the dishes over - there is a bit of pot fragrance. Baiyujing Restaurant is becoming more and more famous, and the service has not stood still.
Although Lian Yuchan has proved the presence of God, she is still a little stage fright at this time, after all, the two military commanders of the hegemony country came to the restaurant. Especially, Xiang State has always been a vassal in front of Jing State, and it can be said that it has no say at all.
Shopkeeper Bai is different. He has seen all kinds of scenes following his boss. He is still in the mood to promote: "Our shop has launched a new wine! It was born with the Tao rhyme of Zhenhe Zhenjun, and it has the creation of heaven and infinite energy-"
"I didn't bring any money." Xiahou Lie interrupted him.
Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said: "Look at what you said, for a distinguished guest like you, our shop provides a credit service."
"Okay." Xiahou Lie leaned forward and said: "Put it on his account."
"I don't drink a drop of alcohol!" Kuang Ming said.
"Enjoy your meal, sir!" Shopkeeper Bai put down the dishes with a smile on his face, turned around and walked away gracefully.
Xiahou Lie smiled at Kuang Ming: "I guess next time I come, Shopkeeper Bai won't serve me the dishes in person."
"You are very tolerant to him." Kuang Ming said meaningfully.
General Xiahou, who has always been known for his violent behavior, has laughed many times today.
"I have always been tolerant of talents!" Xiahou Lie said with a smile: "If he is willing to come to Jing State, the position of Deputy Commander of Cavalry will be vacant!"
"I wonder why Commander Xiahou left the country alone." Kuang Ming said: "It turns out that he came to recruit talents!"
"I have nothing to do, so I came to stroll around!" Xiahou Lie looked at Kuang Ming: "But you, the commander of the Eight Class, don't stay in Jing State properly, but come out to wander around. What if you are killed? It's so dangerous outside now!"
The national policy of Jing State for the next few decades has been determined. Basically, it will no longer expand abroad and will fully prepare for the war with Shenxiao.
These military leaders who are half-army and half-king are relatively free and can spend more time on cultivation.
The Grand Commander of the Cavalry grinned: "Can the Sect Master still ask Zhenhe Zhenjun for responsibility?"
"What are you talking about?" Kuang Ming also smiled at this time, but his smile was colder than not smiling: "I sat with the Grand Commander of the Cavalry to eat together. If something happens to me, it must be the Commander's responsibility."
The advantage of the Equality Country lies in this. They are barefoot. They can lie dormant forever and only show their heads when killing. As the central empire, Jingguo cannot shrink within its borders forever. It needs to exert influence on the heavens and the worlds.
The Equality Country dared to declare war on Jingguo, just to force Jingguo to let go of Bolu with unlimited bloody revenge.
Let the big family tolerate the tantrum.
But Jingguo will never compromise at this time!
They will not only suppress the Equality Country more cruelly.
Like Lou Yue, like him Kuang Ming, they also come out again and again to show their existence. To show that the threat of the Equality Country is not powerful at all.
Of course, the premise is to make thorough preparations.
"You talk about yourself, I just want to eat--" Xiahou Lie picked up the chopsticks and complained: "You talk about so bad luck."
"There are so many bad luck!" Kuang Ming said expressionlessly: "Not this one."
Xiahou Lie looked at his face and sighed: "I know Qiu Tie."
"He has retired from the army and cultivated himself for many years. He came out to do something because he was worried about state affairs. He became the river official because of the death of Jingtian Liuyou."
"He was killed just like that."
He slapped the table: "Is there any justice in this world? Is there still the law?"
People in the restaurant looked sideways.
"Little Green Sheep" also poked out a clever head at the stairs.
Xiahou Lie waved his hand carelessly: "Don't worry! No fighting! Just chatting!"
Chu Yao blinked his eyes, and in a harmless manner, slowly raised a fruit plate: "Send a portion of seasonal fruit to the two distinguished guests!"
He trotted up, put the fruit plate away, and trotted back again.
Xia Houlie looked back at Kuang Ming and said righteously: "Brother Kuang, as long as Jing Guo says a word, Jing Guo is willing to hold you accountable!"
"There is no need to trouble your country." Kuang Ming said calmly: "Since we are talking about this today, by the way, we have traced the true identity of Wu Si, the protector of the Ping Dynasty, and he is from your Jing country. Go and get him at the Jingshi Terrace. I hope your country can cooperate.”
"It's easy to talk." Xia Houlie said very simply: "If you are in Xiaoqi Mansion, I will have someone kidnap you and bring him here. If you are in other military mansions, I will help you communicate!"
"Didn't Governor Xiahou ask who that person is?" Kuang Ming looked at him.
"Since you have chosen to join the Ping Dynasty, you are not from the Jing Kingdom." Xia Houlie grinned a cruel smile: "If you don't take action, we will do it too."
"So..." Kuang Ming lowered his eyes slightly: "Currently we are still on the same road."
"At least at this time, there is no need for us to leave separately." Xiahou Lie ate a raspberry and the corners of his mouth turned red: "I mean - I will see you off later?"
"No need." Kuang Ming said, "I enjoy danger!"
Xia Houlie was thinking about him very much: "The Ping Dynasty is so rampant that it dares to launch homophobic killings against the dignified Central Empire. Although it is hateful, we also need to be vigilant. You should know what is the most terrifying thing about this matter - I don't know Who is an equal country? Everyone can be an equal country. You must be careful!”
This is indeed the most dangerous possibility.
The Ping Dynasty is now looking like a dog jumping over the wall, launching indiscriminate revenge on everyone in the Jing Kingdom. If someone fishes in troubled waters, the Equality Country will definitely only recognize it.
That's when the wind was really rumbling.
Kuang Ming's eyes became dangerous: "Anyone can be an equal country. If the people of Jing State are like this, the people of Jing State can also be like this, I mean if!"
"That's too ugly. Why is it like this?" Xia Houlie never let go of the chopsticks in his hand. He looked downstairs, where several dogs were fighting for food. “We are, after all, the people who sit down to eat.”
"I regard this as an agreement." Kuang Ming achieved his goal and stood up without wasting any time: "Then, Commander Xiahou, enjoy your meal."
He turned around and went downstairs, and happened to see Lian Yuchan on the first floor who was unable to avoid him.
"Lian Jingzhi's daughter." He looked at the delicate-faced woman in front of him: "I remember you."
Lian Yuchan pursed her lips: "I've met Kuang Shuai."
"I remember that there used to be a man named Lin Xian in your restaurant. He has returned to China." Kuang Ming said quietly: "It is not easy to cultivate talents in a small country. He is someone who never forgets his roots."
Lian Yuchan was silent for a while and then said: "I think everyone has their own ambitions."
Kuang Ming looked at her.
She stood still. Although she was obviously nervous, she did not kneel down immediately.
Bai Yuxia, who was behind the counter not far away, had already walked over.
The young man named Chu Yao is the most interesting, his hand actually rests on the hilt of the sword!
Kuang Ming thought for a while, and finally just smiled: "Send hello to Jiang Zhenjun for me."
Then he stepped into the skylight outside the door and left directly.
…
…
A figure wrapped in a black robe, carrying the residual warmth of the scorching sun outside, squeezed into the room.
This is a restaurant located on Haimen Island, which also serves as an inn.
"Spring hasn't even ended yet, and it's already so hot. It looks like it's going to be a tough summer!" King Chu Jiang complained as he walked in.
"The sea is hotter. The collapse of the ancient heavenly road probably also had some influence." Yin Guan sat in the middle of the altar that had been set up, looked at King Chu Jiang, and smiled: "The action is about to begin, why are you here? "
"The situation has changed." King Chu Jiang said: "The plan needs to be adjusted slightly."
She handed over a brochure: "I wrote a brochure, take a look."
Yin Guan took the booklet, glanced at it briefly, and then raised his eyes: "Isn't it a little cruel to exchange the lives of all my colleagues for my thoroughness?"
King Chu Jiang said calmly: "It's just a slight adjustment, I won't let them notice anything abnormal."
"Of course I believe in your ability." Yin Guandao: "And I believe that with your layout, even if they notice it by then, they will not have time to resist."
He smiled slightly: "But - it will not be passed."
"Why?" King Chu Jiang didn't understand: "This operation is more dangerous than you imagined. You have no idea what kind of determination Jing Guo has made! Are the lives and deaths of these people important to you?"
King Qin Guang smiled and said: "If I say it is important, those who were killed by me will definitely not agree. Those who were abandoned by me will come to me even if they are ghosts."
King Chu Jiang looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
But he asked: "Do you know why Hell is so cruel, the mission is very dangerous, and I, as the leader, am ruthless and will abandon them at any time - but it is still getting stronger and stronger?"
He himself answered: "Because I never draw cakes, I will give what is due. I ask them to work hard, and I will give them the price of working hard."
"Also because in all dangerous tasks, I always stand in the most dangerous place and bear the most dangerous part."
"I can survive and become stronger step by step. Only then do they feel that they also have hope."
The leader of the Gateless Hell was sitting there. When he smiled in the bright room, he actually felt a bit innocent. Even the gloomy altar under him could not hide him: "If you do this, There would be no hell without a gate.”
"Whether Hell Gateless exists or not, what does it matter?" King Chujiang still couldn't understand: "It's enough that you exist. In the future, there will be Hell Gate One, Hell Gate Two, and Hell Gate Three."
Yin Guan didn't speak for a while.
He sat there, looked around the room, and smiled: "I have been wandering around for many years. I have lived in the inn for a long time. Sometimes I feel like it's home in a trance."
