A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1207

[Chapter 1197 Covenant Chapter 4]

Qi Ning did not expect that the capture of Xianyang would be so smooth, and the people of Xianyang did not expect that the city head would change to the Great King’s Flag overnight.

The Chu army rushed into Xianyang City and controlled the situation in Xianyang at the fastest speed. Many people now only feel like they are in a dream. Only when they see the Chu State cavalry passing through the street, the people know that Xianyang is. It has really changed.

For more than ten years, the people of Xianyang have become accustomed to the Qu family’s prestige in the northwest.

Although the Qu family’s father and son were greedy, Qu Yuangu was aggressive, and Qu Manbao bullied men and women, but for most people, they at least survived.

Ordinary people have always had very low requirements for themselves. As long as they can eat and clothe themselves, they are already satisfied.

The people of Chu State occupied Xianyang City overnight. In addition to being terrified, people were more afraid. They did not know what kind of fate they would face next, and after the Chu army entered the city, they immediately blocked the streets and alleys. The people of the whole city issued a foot restraint order, so that the people were not allowed to go out easily.

The atmosphere of the entire Xianyang City was extremely solemn and depressing.

The northwest is a land of disasters. Before the Northern Han Dynasty completely pacified the northwest, the large and small forces in the northwest were full of large and small forces, attacking and attacking each other.

I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world.

No matter how the Qu family’s father and son were oppressed, as long as there was no war, the people would be satisfied.

But the Chu people appeared in the northwest, and people were worried that the Chu people would soon indulge in looting in Xianyang.

For a long time, during the melee of the northwest rebels, the people were always treated as fish to be slaughtered, and the last piece of clothing was removed from the people.

Chu State and Han State are enemy states. Now that the Chu army has entered Xianyang, of course they will not show mercy to the people of the empire. They have not acted for the time being. Maybe they are just planning how to do it. Xianyang is the largest city in the northwest. There are dozens of cities in the city. Ten thousand people, if you really want to carry out looting, there should be a plan.

The common people were in a state of fear, and the gentry and tycoons were even more anxious.

The Ma family has been living in the northwest for hundreds of years. It is a native of the northwest with strong roots. Although the Dadi Mountains in the northwest have gone through countless wars, the Ma family has survived one war after another, and In the eyes of people from the northwest, the Ma Shi family is definitely a famous family in the northwest.

Ma Wencheng just passed his 60th birthday a few months ago, and he is also the patriarch of the current Ma Shi family.

After the Northern Han Dynasty conquered the Northwest, it was very polite to the aristocratic families in the Northwest. Perhaps the Northern Han court knew very well that in order for the Northwest to truly belong to the Northern Han, the first thing to do is to make the aristocratic families in the Northwest kneel in front of the court.

The Ma family, under the jurisdiction of the Northern Han Dynasty, did not suffer too many disasters. Even after Qu Yuangu came to the northwest, he was still polite to the Ma family and other big families. Various festivals sent a large number of heavy congratulations to the Zhenxi General’s Mansion, but the tranquility gained from bankruptcy and disaster relief was also enjoyed by some aristocratic families in the northwest.

The Ma family is not only a large and prestigious family in the northwest, but also many clansmen hold official positions in the northwest. They want money, money, and power. Now that the Chu army has entered Xianyang, for such a family, of course, Great influence.

The people of Chu country ordered the entire city to be banned, and Ma Wencheng could only stay in the house, worried in his heart.

When a group of Chu soldiers knocked on the door of the Ma family’s house, the Ma family’s spirits were scattered. They thought that this group of soldiers would swarm in and burn, kill and loot in the house, but when the other party took out an invitation, there was an invitation to the horse. When Wencheng went to visit the General’s Mansion in the west of the town as a guest, the Ma family was completely surprised. They didn’t know what medicine the people of Chu were selling in the gourd.

Of course, Ma Wencheng did not dare to refuse the invitation of the people of Chu country. He packed up and changed into a very close-fitting clothes before leaving the house. He found that the other party not only sent the invitation, but also sent The carriage comes.

Boarding the carriage, Ma Wencheng thought about all kinds of possibilities along the way, and how to deal with the various situations at that time, until he arrived at the General’s Mansion in the west of the town, the carriage stopped, and after Ma Wencheng got off the carriage, there were already people in front of the door. Before inviting Ma Wencheng to enter the mansion, everything seemed very polite.

Ma Wencheng tried his best to appear calm.

He has lived for most of his life. He has gone through countless storms in the northwest, and he has seen too many characters. During the chaotic war in the northwest, Xianyang really rotated the flag of the king. Every time Xianyang changed hands, the aristocratic families here would be killed. Looking for it, it seems polite on the surface, but the purpose is nothing more than to let the big family pay out the money. Once there is a slight hesitation, the face of those people will change, and Ma Wencheng has seen a lot of tricks.

The more polite they are, the more they will ask for.

Today, the people of Chu State invited someone to come and pick him up. This has already been very polite. Ma Wencheng knew that the other party was just asking for something from him. Now, even if the family wealth is taken away, there is no way to do it. As long as It would be good to be able to let the Ma clan survive this disaster in peace.

Ma Wencheng was led to a huge hall in the Zhenxi General’s Mansion. In fact, he was quite familiar with the Zhenxi General’s Mansion, and at least he had to come here three or four times a year.

The Zhenxi General’s Mansion was originally a huge building in Xianyang. After Qu Yuan took office in the northwest, he expanded the Zhenxi General’s Mansion several times. Today, the Zhenxi General’s Mansion is the largest building in Xianyang City, covering an extremely wide area. How many courtyards there are, even Ma Wencheng, who often goes in and out of the General’s Mansion, can’t tell. I just remember that there are 30 or 40 places in the General’s Mansion’s Guangyuan.

He came to this hall. It was not the main hall of the General’s Mansion, but it was very spacious. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw that there were already many people in it. He glanced at it, but most of the people in the hall were familiar with It was the patriarchs of some aristocratic families living in Xianyang who were very familiar with each other on weekdays. When everyone saw Ma Wencheng come in, they were not surprised, but they all bowed their hands like Ma Wencheng.

“Everyone, drink tea first.” The man who led Ma Wencheng over said: “Your Excellency has some official business to deal with, and he will come over soon.” No nonsense, he retreated.

As soon as the man left, a dozen or so people gathered around and surrounded Ma Wencheng.

“Master Ma, I got the news early this morning that all the officials in Xianyang were controlled by the people of Chu.” One person whispered, “The guards in the city have also been handed over their ordnance, and Xianyang is now the state of Chu. It’s in the palm of a man.”

“What do you think he’s going to do when he brings us here?”

“What else? What else can I do? It’s nothing more than salute before soldiers, invite us to have a cup of tea, and then force us to come out with money.”

“Chen You are right, we

are going to break the wealth

and eliminate the disaster this time, but I don’t know how much appetite the people of Chu country have.”

After the people of Chu entered the city, they didn’t loot wantonly, which is very unusual, but the more this is the case, the more difficult it is.”

Everyone gathered together, talking in low voices.

Ma Wencheng raised his hand to signal everyone not to talk too much. After everyone

was quiet, he said softly, “Anyway, if they just want money, it’s not a big deal. I’m afraid they have other plans.”

They looked at each other, and someone whispered: “Master Ma, is it possible that he wants our lives?”

Ma Wencheng didn’t say anything, and someone next to him sneered: “That’s not certain, we are all old families from the northwest, maybe The people of Chu people think that we are troublesome, and this time they find us, and they will be wiped out.”

Everyone changed their color even more.

“Don’t guess.” Ma Wencheng walked over and sat down on a chair, and said, “Since it’s here, let’s be safe. We’ll know what their intentions are soon.

” When they returned to their seats and sat down, some people whispered to each other, but more people waited silently for the Sir to appear.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside. Everyone raised their heads to look at the gate, and soon saw a figure coming in. The person was dressed in casual clothes and looked young. You have been waiting for a long time, I am Qi Ning, I invite you to come over and discuss something.”

Everyone had already stood up one after another, and Ma Wencheng said boldly, “Excuse me…. May I ask if you are the lord of the Qi family in the Jin Yi family of the state of Chu?”

“Exactly.” Qi Ning said with a smile.

Everyone’s heart was stunned. The reputation of the Jinyi Qi family was naturally known to the world. These northwestern nobles were well-informed. After the Chu army entered the city, everyone quickly knew that it was Qi Jue from the Jinyi Qi family of Chu State who led the army into Xianyang. Lord, I was a little hesitant to see Qi Ning’s young age. At this time, I heard that Qi Ning accepted his identity, and was busy bowing to Qi Ning, but he was surprised, thinking that Mr. Qi was so young. , to be able to bring the Chu army down to Xianyang without a bloody blade, UU read www.

sonicmtl.com is incredible.

Qi Ning raised his hand and said, “You don’t have to be restrained, just sit down and talk.” He walked over and sat down in the main seat first, and then everyone dared to take their seats, and then even if someone brought tea, Qi Ning smiled and said: “Chu When the army entered the city, I was worried that if there were no rules, many soldiers would make mistakes, so I just issued the military order. After entering the city, all the soldiers of the state of Chu must obey the three military orders, not only the soldiers and soldiers of the state of Chu, but also other people in the city. You must abide by these rules.”

Everyone looked at each other, Qi Ning saw everyone’s thoughts, and smiled: “The murderer must be executed, the wounded must be punished, the looter must be severely punished, and the thief must be punished. These four rules, No one is allowed to offend, even me, I must abide by the four chapters of this covenant.”

Everyone was stunned, and then many people appeared suspicious, obviously not believing it.

In everyone’s memory, in the past, when any troops and horses invaded Xianyang City, not a single one of them killed and looted first, or when the Northern Han army entered Xianyang, they burned, killed and looted in the first few days, and the city was in chaos.

This Lord Qi suddenly threw out the fourth chapter of the contract, and if he said that he was holding the hands and feet of the Chu Jun firmly, everyone really didn’t believe it.
