The Sword Dynasty - 685. Chapter 684

The peculiarity of the clans of Nanquan counties in the Great Chu Dynasty is that these clans not only have astonishing wealth accumulation like the wealthy merchants in Guanzhong of the Da Qin Dynasty, but also have a large number of practitioners and private armies, and there is no shortage of powerful practitioners in the seven realms.

Practitioners and gatekeepers can be owned by the most expensive, but for a dynasty, a large number of private troops is naturally a threat. The reason why the clans of Nanquan counties were allowed to own private armies was because these clans had made great contributions to the Great Chu Dynasty in the past, and many of them were partners and generals of the first emperor.

The reason why after receiving the grace of the first emperor and possessing the fiefs of the five counties for many years, the clansmen of Nanquan counties are still closely related to the words “barbaric,” “jackal,” and “bandit”. It was a horse thief and a bandit who ruled the mountain.

These people in those days also brought their own private army to seek refuge with the first emperor, and made great contributions to the first emperor’s determination of the land and the opening of territories.

Because of the unique relationship with the first emperor, these celebrities enjoyed a lot of privileges, and their acting style was much more barbarous than those of the meticulous and elegant Chu capital dignitaries.

Before the Lushan Union, Zhao Xiangfei had actually intervened in the government for many years. She did not have much magnanimity towards the cliques of these Nanquan counties. Although she was still forced by the strength of these cliques to not directly abolish the private armies of these people, she naturally did. Some preventive arrangements have been made, such as setting up fortresses outside these five counties, limiting the number of carriages and horses sold to the five counties, and stipulating the highest level of talisman that the private army can possess, and so on.

However, what caused Nanquan’s counties and Concubine Zhao Xiang to be completely guilty was the “Chen Sheng case”.

Among the three main gates of Nanquan County, the eldest son was weak, and he secretly intervened in controlling the selection and promotion of low-level officials in many counties in the eastern part of Da Chu, so that those small counties far away from the capital of Chu were rampant and weak. In those counties and counties, they covered the sky with their hands. When they were finally investigated, the Nanquan counties made many concessions to keep the weak heads, but Zhao Xiangfei did not show affection, and still cut the weak according to the law. . Even some of the officials who managed to accommodate among them dealt with it all.

Later, if the children of the Nanquan counties committed crimes, they often dealt with it more harshly. During the battle between Qin and Chu, the Nanquan counties were forced to allocate a lot of resources, and some important children who practiced in the capital of Chu were also sent to the frontier army. Many were even sent directly to dangerous places.

This trick was extremely vicious, and in order to keep those important children, the counties of Nanquan had to send some powerful practitioners to follow.

At present, there is chaos from the border to the central part of Chu, and a lot of information is unavailable, and it is not known whether those important children and practitioners will survive.

Although I don’t know what Zhao Xiangfei plans to do next, but judging from the movements of the army in the past few days, the remnants of the main army in Yangshan County are faintly retreating towards the five Nanquan County.

The counties of Nanquan naturally hate Concubine Zhao Xiang. However, this is a state matter after all. If they are blocked by private troops and let the retreating Chu army suffer the enemy, even if the clans of the five counties of Nanquan don’t care about the writing in the history books, they don’t know how many they will usher in. Chu people’s anger.

Therefore, despite the hateful curses of some celebrities, the big discussion lasted for nearly half an hour, but it had not yet been resolved.

As time went by, those who had spoken the most intensely before also stopped, gradually focusing on the three people in the middle.

The three people in the middle who have the most gloomy and dangerous aura are the principals of the three strongest sects in Nanquan County.

Especially the middle-aged man in the purple robe who never gave a glance. His face was thin and his head was always hanging down. The pale hair exuded wisps of cold light like a blade. He was the Patriarch of the Xi Family, the weak one. Father crepe Shen Yun.

When he finally raised his head slightly, the whole chamber fell completely silent.

“I don’t care what you think.”

Chen Yun didn’t look at anyone, he just said to himself: “For my family, all Chu people can live, but she can’t.”

Everyone’s body shook slightly.

He went on to say: “When my Chu was not broken, she was the queen mother and had the status of the first emperor, but now the country is broken, is she still a queen dowager? She is not even my Chu.”

There is no objection.

Most people are just waiting for his opinion.

There is no objection at this time, and it represents the resolution.

The next person in charge looked a little dark, and said in kindness: “If this is the case, then we will send out the news that the rest of the people can pass, she can’t. Or just let her commit suicide?”

“I wanted her to die a long time ago. Although many people say that she governs the country, it is the fruit that the first emperor inherited to her. I would really like to see if I said let her commit suicide to change the way of the Chu army. How would she answer?” Jian Chenyun suddenly sneered.

Laughter reverberated in this gloomy conference hall, but no one answered the conversation for a while.

Most people’s hatred for Zhao Yaofei is not as direct and strong as he is. In their opinion, too intense methods often drag people into the abyss.

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.

One person tapped the door according to the rules, then opened the door and walked in.

The conference hall is the property of the crepe family, and the person who enters at this time is also an effective steward of the crepe family.

When this person opened the door and walked into the chamber, Chen Chenyun’s brows frowned unconsciously.

Because of his familiarity, he could feel this person’s weirdness the first time.

“whats the matter?”

His stern voice sounded again.

Many other prominent figures were present, and he didn’t want any unpleasant accidents and disrespect to happen.

“Bashan Sword Field.”

The manager of the Crepe family took a deep breath, bowed and saluted all these people, and said these four words in a trembling voice.

Jian Chenyun and these principals were shocked. When they looked at the manager again, the manager had already raised his body and stretched out his hand.

“The Bashan Sword Field has sent the World Swordsman Order.”

His voice trembled even more.

There was a sword-shaped token that was half a foot long in his hand, naturally swallowing a sharp sword light.

A sound of pouring air-conditioning sounded at the same time.

“The Order of the Sword Under Heaven? Even if there are still people left in the Bashan Sword Field, can it still be regarded as the Sword Under Heaven?”

After a few breaths, a frightened voice sounded.

However, there was a longer silence. No one responded or opposed. The atmosphere was terribly suppressed, and even the frightened person gradually turned pale.

The Order of the Swordsman in the World is the token of the former king of the swordsman in Bashan Sword Field.

In the past, the Bashan sword field was number one in the world. When this order came out, almost no one dared to go against their will.

After many years, the Bashan Sword Field ceased to exist… But just like that, after many years, the World Swordsman Order actually reappeared.

what does this mean?

Chen Yun’s breathing gradually became difficult. He slowly raised his head again with a bit of stiffness, looked at the steward, and said, “What does the passer say?”
