Cosmic Professional Gladiator
Book Four, Chapter 55 Determining the Goal
The world of blood rain, the imperial capital.
A seemingly ordinary restaurant, but the business is very good, Xu Jingming came to the second floor of the restaurant and ordered a few signature dishes.
"Sister Qiu Tong is really a gourmet. The recommended place is really good." Xu Jingming ate a piece of fish that was served, the fish was tender and smooth, and the natural fish fragrance made Xu Jingming a little intoxicated.
"It's been a long time since I've been here in the Imperial Capital. When it comes to cooking fish, this restaurant ranks first." Xu Jingming praised, enjoying the food to his heart's content.
A large plate of pastries, Xu Jingming took one bite at a time.
Xu Jingming also drank the fragrant fruit wine with gusto.
"Have you heard? The Western Regions army of the empire has been defeated! The main force of the army is 500,000 people, all of whom are high-level masters. They were completely defeated in the First World War... being chased and killed by the cavalry army of King Wei of the Western Regions for hundreds of miles, the Western Regions army was completely finished. "
"The news from the palace came out today. I heard that His Majesty sent several officials to prison on the spot! The entire family of Meng Xu, the commander of the Western Region Army, was arrested and sent to prison!"
"Yes, on the other side of the North City, the Meng family cried loudly. All the members of the Meng family were escorted into the sky prison, even the babies were not spared. The Meng family is completely over."
There are people talking about real things in the restaurant.
Xu Jingming's ears perked up immediately, and he was startled: "The army of the Western Regions has been defeated?"
He, the Blood Rain Guard, only heard the news because he only went to the Nanfu headquarters occasionally and had dinner in a restaurant.
"The main force of the Western Regions army, is it over?" Xu Jingming immediately realized that something was wrong, "The Western Regions of the empire have been completely corrupted these years, and it is already very rare to be able to gather an army composed of 500,000 elite masters. This battle is defeated! The whole The Western Regions are completely out of control."
"Once the Western Regions get out of control, the army of thieves can directly attack the imperial capital!" Xu Jingming secretly said.
It was said before that the Northwest is corrupt.
But there are still imperial troops in the Western Regions and Northern Regions! The army of the Western Regions can at least guarantee that the rebels cannot threaten the imperial capital.
"The Western Region collapsed! The Northern Region is equally dangerous, and the Southern Region barely maintains itself. The Eastern Region... the Eastern Region is relatively the best in order, and the blood rain guards are strong enough." Xu Jingming secretly said, "It should mobilize the Eastern Region." The army from the Western Regions has entered the Western Regions."
There was a lot of noise in the restaurant, and some people were panicked.
"The Western Regions are defeated, if the rebels enter the imperial capital..."
"There is no army in the Western Regions to stop the rebels, we have to think about it early."
"The city wall of the imperial capital is majestic, and there is also an auxiliary army of blood rain guards. It is no problem to defend the city."
"It's impossible to say about the war."
Those who can eat on the second floor of the restaurant are not ordinary people. They are all very concerned about the future fate of the imperial capital, because it is also related to the fate of themselves and the families behind them.
After Xu Jingming finished eating, he paid the bill and left the restaurant.
...
He wandered around some prosperous places in the city, and heard other places talking about the 'Dark Defeat of the Western Regions'. The imperial capital is such a big place, and explosive news spread throughout the city in one day.
"The situation in the imperial capital is getting more and more dangerous. I have to determine the target as soon as possible." Xu Jingming went to one of the alternate target places to explore on the ground.
"The Yang family is considered a big family in the imperial capital. At least my team can still chew on this hard bone." Xu Jingming came to a street where the Yang family was located. Families like Shen Gong's family and Feng Yu's family could deal with at most one person. Ordinary children.
Those families are so terrifying that even the emperor dare not fall out with them.
A second-rate big family like the Yang family is the most suitable target. Take a bite and slip away! One bite, and I am very satisfied.
"This street belongs to the Yang family." Xu Jingming looked at it, "The Yang family's mansion occupies half of the street, and many houses outside the mansion... are the residences of some side branches of the Yang family and some guard servants."
Xu Jingming glanced at the mansion.
It's really luxurious!
For a huge mansion, the courtyard wall is half a mile long, and the courtyard wall is as high as three feet. This is the mansion of the real rich and powerful families in the imperial capital.
Xu Jingming walked through the mansion and came to some houses.
"Joe San! The outside world calls you Mr. Qiao, but you have to know that you are a dog of the Yang family! Your father, grandfather, and even great-grandfather all ate the food of the Yang family. Your Qiao family has been Yang for generations. The dog at home, the owner has orders, how dare you disobey this dog?" A group of people blocked in front of a residential house, and a middle-aged man at the head shouted angrily, "It's against you!"
In front of the residence, a commoner man knelt there, hugging his dead daughter, his eyes were red: "Steward Bai, just because I declined the Second Young Master this morning, you killed my child?"
"A dog that doesn't listen to its master, naturally deserves to die." The leading middle-aged man said indifferently, "Today is to kill one of your daughters. If you don't obey me, your two brothers, three sisters, and your old mother... you Everyone must die!"
"Third brother."
"Third Brother." There were other people around who pulled Qiao San and tried to persuade him.
Qiao San looked at the daughter in his arms with tears in his eyes.
He wants to take revenge with all his life! But hitting a rock with a pebble is hopeless at all. And his old mother, his brothers and sisters, the children of his brothers and sisters... will all be implicated by him.
"I see, I will set off with the second son." Qiao San whispered.
"That's right, if you agreed earlier, wouldn't there be so many troubles? Speaking of which, you still killed your daughter yourself." The middle-aged man in the lead glanced around, and his voice was a little louder, "Don't think that you are here You have lived in the imperial capital for a hundred or two hundred years, and you feel that you are a member of the imperial capital! Your ancestors have been members of the Yang family for generations! Whatever the Yang family asks you to do, do it obediently. If a dog is disobedient, there is no need for the owner to keep it, it can be slaughtered have eaten!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he left with his subordinates. When he left, he glanced coldly at Xu Jingming, a passing outsider. Even if he noticed Xu Jingming's blood rain guard uniform under his blue robe, he didn't care. .
How could the dignified Yang family care about an ordinary Blood Rain Guard?
"Qiao San, you are stupid. The second son asked you, who is willing to go with you? Asked your thoughts, and you really honestly said that you want to stay in the imperial capital?"
"Remember it from now on, whatever the masters of the Yang family tell you to do, do it."
"This is killing chickens and monkeys."
People around whispered.
Xu Jingming watched from the side, looking at the dead girl, there was a bloody welt on her chest, the whip was whipped very hard, and the girl was killed with one blow.
...
that night.
Butler Bai hurried out of the Yang Mansion and walked towards his own residence.
"I have to find a way. Before leaving the city, I have to escape from the team and hide. How can the Yang family have time to find me in the vast imperial capital?" Butler Bai thought, "If I follow the Yang family's team out of the imperial capital, there will be tens of thousands of people in the vast imperial capital. Lilu, how many people will die on this road?"
Butler Bai usually works as an servant in Yang's mansion, and only occasionally goes back to his residence, so it's rare to come out today.
"Um?"
Xu Jingming, who was exploring the terrain on the spot, noticed Butler Bai, who was the leader during the day.
call.
Silently, the spear pierced through the air.
"Not good." Butler Bai can be a butler and is also a second-rate master. He sensed the fluctuation of the airflow and immediately drew a sharp sword from his waist.
But the spear was like a swimming dragon, when it touched the sharp sword, under the strange spinning force, the spear was not blocked at all, and naturally passed the back of Butler Bai's head.
scoff~~~
The barrel of the gun lightly grazed the back of Butler Bai's head, butler Bai only felt a shock in his brain and passed out.
Xu Jingming stepped forward, carrying Butler Bai with one hand, and left without a sound.
*****
In an uninhabited firewood house.
Only then did Butler Bai wake up, and saw a masked man standing in front of him.
"Who are you?" Just as Butler Bai was about to move his body, he found that his hands and legs were dislocated, and he couldn't stand up when he sat there. "This good man, did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Housekeeper Bai of the Yang Mansion, I want to ask you something." Xu Jingming's voice was hoarse, "Speak honestly, and I will spare your life. If you dare to lie, you should know the consequences."
Butler Bai's heart trembled.
Captured himself alive in an instant, obviously his strength far surpassed him.
"Good man, just ask." Butler Bai was also very cowardly, flattering him, "I know, I must tell you everything."
"The Yang family is leaving the imperial capital?" Xu Jingming asked softly.
"Yes! The battle in the Western Regions is getting worse, and many big clans in the imperial capital are arranging some branches to leave the city." Bai Butler explained, "I'm just worried that the imperial capital will be breached, and the big clans won't be able to escape even if they want to."
Xu Jingming listened: "What's the situation with the Yang family?"
"The Yang family has a great influence in the surrounding area of the hometown of Xuecheng in the Eastern Region, and the surrounding area is controlled by the Yang family. But the main line of the Yang family is mostly in the imperial capital. This time, some of the main line of the Yang family brought many masters , and some gold and silver accumulated over the years are about to leave the imperial capital," said Butler Bai.
"Leave with gold and silver?" Xu Jingming asked.
"yes."
Butler Bai said, "The situation in the world is getting worse and worse. Once the imperial capital is breached, the government banks will definitely not be able to withdraw money anymore, and those bank notes will become waste paper! Even the banks of some big families... When the world is in complete chaos, It is difficult for the big family to protect itself, and the bank notes are even more useless. So it must be exchanged for a lot of gold and silver."
"How much did the Yang family change?" Xu Jingming asked.
"have no idea."
Butler Bai said, "The exchange of silver bills for gold and silver has been done quietly for a long time. At least for the Second Young Master, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver for me to exchange. The exchange of the entire Yang family must be at least a million taels." ! To the Yang family, a million taels of silver is nothing."
Xu Jingming said softly, "Aren't they afraid of being robbed?"
"The current situation in the world is bad, and the Yang family will also divide into teams, disguised as caravans and bodyguard teams." Bai Butler said, "With so many teams, even if some teams are looted, the impact will not be great. "
Xu Jingming understood.
The world is in chaos, and there are rebels in some places.
No matter how powerful the Yang family is! If a large team acts together... it will only cause large-scale rebels to deal with it, and there is a high probability that they will be taken over by one pot.
"It's tens of thousands of miles to go to Xuecheng in the Eastern Region. I'm afraid many people will die." Xu Jingming said.
"Isn't it?" said Butler Bai, "Actually, many of us don't want to go with us. It's a long way, and half of the people can reach Xuecheng alive. How good is it to stay in the imperial capital? Even if the rebels come in ? It doesn't matter who is the emperor, we are all obedient citizens, and it is safer to be in the imperial capital than to go out of the city."
"But the Yang family is different. When the rebels came in, they first plundered these big families." The housekeeper Bai said, "They must have left many clansmen, alas, we servants can only serve as their guards and work hard for them. "
"The Yang family is divided into teams, which one are you following?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Second Young Master's team." Butler Bai said.
"When are you leaving?" Xu Jingming asked.
"I don't know." Butler Bai shook his head. "Second Young Master said, he will take me away. As for how the team will be distributed, when will they set off, and what will they pretend to be? These are all confidential."
"Oh." Xu Jingming understood, and immediately said, "Remember, the whip that was whipped today?"
"The whip?"
Butler Bai was taken aback for a moment, thinking about how he swung his whip to kill Qiao's third daughter during the day.
Peng!
A gun shadow swept over, butler Bai's eyes widened, and the gun shadow slapped him on the chest.
Butler Bai's body trembled, his chest was ripped open, and the impact of the spear shadow made him vomit blood. He looked at Xu Jingming with horror in his eyes: "You said you would spare my life."
Xu Jingming looked at him indifferently without saying a word.
Butler Bai quickly breathed his last, and just lay there in the woodshed. His injuries were almost exactly the same as those of the girl.
"The Yang family exchanged the banknotes for a lot of gold and silver? Where are they hiding the gold and silver?" Xu Jingming was thinking, and suddenly he was shocked, "Yes, once the imperial capital is breached, the bank may close down, and the banknotes will become waste paper I have to be careful with my banknotes, don't they become waste paper."
...
In the next few days, Xu Jingming was promoted from the Blood Rain Guard to investigate all the information about the Yang family. Also collect information about the Yang family from the virtual world network.
Before doing it, the information must be sufficient!
*****
Night, Feifu.
Fei Qing was alone in the study, under the candlelight, he looked at the information indifferently.
"Your Majesty ordered that the Eastern Territory mobilize three armies to join together to form an army to conquer the thieves in the Western Region." Fei Qing looked up at the darkness outside the window, "The Eastern Territory army was selected, trained, and honed by me in actual combat! I will take charge of it." The chief general of the army... is the most suitable. I know the strengths of each general and each unit of the army."
"But His Majesty rejected me."
Fei Qing sneered.
"In this situation, even I don't trust you?"
"Perhaps it's because the Blood Rain Guard army in the Eastern Region is the strongest army in His Majesty's hands now. It's really suspicious!" Fei Qing said silently, "When he was so wise and powerful back then, why did anyone become an emperor? Suspicion, no one believes it?"
"If the Eastern Territory's conquest army is ruined this time! Then the future of the entire empire will be gone." Fei Qing knew this very well, but he was powerless and could only watch everything happen.
He even had to be obedient, extremely loyal and obedient.
He knows very well...
If Dijun feels that you are not loyal enough, then death is not far away.
"I can only stay in the imperial capital. With the current situation, His Majesty will eventually beg me." Fei Qing sat in the study, he could only wait patiently for the opportunity. Perhaps, never wait for this opportunity.
