The Sword Dynasty - 580. Chapter 579

The weather in spring is fickle, sometimes warm and sometimes cold. This season is easy to get sick, and it is even more a nightmare for the people in exile.

The “Chu refugees” who were escorted by the army and forced to march daily are in a more difficult situation than the ordinary refugee group. Without food and medicine, they cannot get enough rest at all. After a small number of deaths, a large number of them Infected people appear, and a large number of deaths are inevitable.

From the very beginning, when the order was given to forcibly expel all Chu people in Yangshan County, this was destined to be a cruel massacre.

In a sense, using this method to kill these ordinary people is more cruel than the direct massacre in the brutal strangulation.

This cruel order came from the Changling Palace, and came from the hand of Empress Zheng Xiu.

In the deep and secluded Changling Palace, and in the long corridor outside the Queen’s study, many officials were kneeling densely.

These officials are all here to ask the queen to take back his order. In their view, no matter it is any dynasty in history, too brutal rule will often only lead to early destruction.

Even if it is some means against the enemy, but the reputation of brutality will also make the people of this dynasty feel insecure.

It’s just that these officials know too much about Empress Zheng Xiu, knowing that words can’t be moved, so they just resorted to silent hunger strike.

Zheng Xiuan is sitting in front of the book case.

The door of her study was closed tightly, and she could not directly see the expressions of these officials, but her strong perception allowed her to clearly know the state of every official who was kneeling outside.

There was a hint of irony on her perfect face shining almost porcelain light.

The indifference and sarcasm is not because she doesn’t care about the opinions of these people at all, and feels that these people are dispensable or too humble, but because these people can’t figure out her intentions at all and don’t understand that some things are originally. Her little trick.

From the beginning of the Minshan Sword Society, to outsiders, she seemed to have suffered too many failures and lost the aura that would never fail, but everything went along with her heart.

As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, the process does not matter.

Just like two chess players playing chess, one chess player seems to have lost a lot of pieces in advance, but the overall situation has been set.

From killing those three family members and completely controlling Jiaodong County, she began to really settle down.

This drove the Chu people in Yangshan County, she was another child, and began a real counterattack.

The order was originally to be withdrawn, but when it was withdrawn, it was a coincidence. At the right time, it could be transformed into a killer move.

The most important thing is the human heart.

Everyone has feelings.

Any killing, isn’t it an emotional killing in the end?

Use soldiers as the bottom, and cut the heart as the top.

The officials outside the study have knelt down for a day and a night. Some elderly officials are already close to their limits. For her, stepping out at this time can get the results they want and their gratitude. They generate more awe, knowing that a sufficient price must be paid in exchange for her consent. This is what you need at least if you encounter such things afterwards.

She stood up, the hint of sarcasm on her face disappeared completely, and she passed through Lingquan with no expression on her face, and opened the door of the study.

“I can take it back, but I have a request.”

Without any extra words, she looked at the officials who bowed to the ground and said flatly and with great majesty.

All the officials raised their heads.

She went on to say: “Help me spread the whole Changling…If I don’t want to exile the Chu people in Yangshan County, I must have a Chu person with enough weight to replace them. In other words, I want to save those Chu people. At least the life of a man of Chu must be exchanged for the life of a man of sufficient weight.”

These officials felt a little delighted for the first time, but in the next moment, their hearts were chilled because of the coldness contained in her words. Many people were originally close to the limit, and now their bodies were as cold as frost.

“What if Chu people who don’t have enough weight come forward?”

One of the leading officials couldn’t help but ask with a trembling voice.

“That is their own business.”

Zheng Xiu shook his head and looked at the famous official, “If even the Chu people can sit and watch, what are our Qin people’s concerns?”

The official was momentarily stagnated and could not speak.

“Can you stop those Chu people first?” An official took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Xiu and asked.

He knew that there weren’t enough Chu people hiding in Changling, but the current situation was that every day after that, a large number of people in the exile team would die.

“That’s also something that the people of Chu need to consider.” Zheng Xiu said lightly: “If you stand up one day later, more people will die, so I hope those who can replace these people with their own lives don’t hesitate.”

Hearing her words, many officials kneeling here couldn’t help but become angry again, but they had nothing to say.

Because this in itself is her most used method.

Many years ago, she used this method more than once.

Shameless, but effective.

This purpose was quickly spread out.

No one doubts the authenticity of her will.

Because this is her promise to all these officials, unless she can lose all these officials.

…

When this will spread throughout Changling, all the practitioners on the turrets of Changling raised their vigilance for fear of missing a single detail.

Even if it is doomed to death, the kind of Chu people with enough weight may do very crazy things.

However, they did not have time to see the Chu people walking out of an alley somewhere.

This man came from the depths of the palace.

In the depths of the palace, there are several streams leading to the nearest river outside the palace.

The source of the ditch is a few square wells.

There are a lot of clothes and beddings that need to be washed by the square well.

When such a will came here through word of mouth, an elderly palace lady let go of the dirty clothes she was washing in her hands, and slowly stood up.

No one noticed her abnormality.

Knowing that she had walked out of the gate of this courtyard and headed in a direction that would never go forward in normal days, someone suddenly awakened.

When she was ignorant after drinking several times, the people who called her, including some practitioners in the palace who happened to ran into her along the way, began to realize that she might have something to do with the queen’s will.

A stern alarm sounded in the palace.

The clothes on this maid’s body were filthy, exuding an unspeakable unpleasant smell, and her hair was scattered, her eyes were bright at this time, and she felt like she was only forty-year-old, but her face was at least as good as that. Fifty years old.

After the warning was useless, a flying sword finally appeared in front of her walking, turned into a cold flame, and ate her heart.

The court lady smiled slightly.

She straightened her hair very simply.

In the “leisure” of trimming her hair, her fingers caught the flying sword, and then she brushed it out as if she had thrown out a piece of hair trimmed out of her head.

It just seemed to be an inadvertent movement, this flying sword pierced the heart of several guards along the way, and then cut down the head of the flying sword master.

“Since I have come to order, why bother to kill? I am not afraid that I will make another excuse?”

When the head fell to the ground with hot blood, a cold and majestic voice rang at the end of the road in front of the maid.

This is the voice of Empress Zheng Xiu.

“Don’t kill, how can you make you understand that I have enough weight?” The court lady raised her head, looked at Zheng Xiu, who was coming to the extreme, and laughed, “It’s you who came to talk to me in a hurry, for fear that I might die. Too fast?”
