Realm of Power

Looking down from a high place, the vortex formed by countless fires in Longchang City is like a river spreading in all directions, rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, reflected in the black pupils of the fat man, who stood on the towering cliff of Longchang City Port. On the wall, he looked down at what was happening in Longchang with a cold face.

"Your Majesty, the streets around Longchang Prefecture have been blocked, and the anti-riot troops have entered the city. I believe that the situation in the city will be completely under control before midnight."

Lu Yangyu came up from behind in a long Sino-Bian robe, looking at the emperor's back with unconcealable admiration in his eyes. He was able to push the situation to this point. If you want to make people dissatisfied, you must know that the Aden people are here. Although the gathering in the city was a threat, there was no blatant tearing after all. It would be a shame to lose face, and there are many very influential people among these Adenites. If the empire arbitrarily mobilizes its army to enter the city to kill them, once the court questions them, and with the testimony of hundreds of thousands of Central Asians in six cities and ports, , I’m afraid that the Liucheng Port officials will not be able to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb no matter how much they want to.

The only way is to make it legal to suppress the Aden people

Just like now, the Aden people suddenly turned from the victims to the perpetrators. Robbery of the city is a capital crime everywhere. What's more, the Aden people have a bad record in robbing the city. The Aden navy once sent troops to plunder. Passing through the coastal city directly led to the kidnapping of Princess Mingyue, the eldest princess of China. That scene, until now, is regarded as a great shame and humiliation for China. Longchang Mansion, which was notified, had already been The buildings were empty, and the residences around Longchang Mansion had been evacuated in advance, but the people of Aden were unaware of it. The people of Aden did not know that while the emperor was in Longchang Mansion, thousands of people were lurking around. The imperial guards were also responsible for digging tunnels. The emperor ordered the guards to dig tunnels in the residences around the government office. The distance was not too far, but it was enough to avoid areas that would be affected.

Therefore, Lu Yangyu is not worried about how much damage the Aden turmoil will cause to Longchang. At most, some houses will be damaged. The 500 city guards belonging to Longchang Mansion have completely blocked the access roads around the government office. Although these city guards There are not many in number, but the actual situation is that there are probably not even ten Longchang City Guards. They are all Imperial Guards who have changed their armor. Five hundred A warrior of the Imperial Guard who has experienced hundreds of battles, and there are 3,000 Imperial Guards who can be thrown in as a reserve at any time. This is a massacre without any suspense, but this is what the Aden people asked for. If they were not He wanted to suppress the Longchang government, but later thought that he had more power, and became greedy for the whole of Longchang. The emperor who blocked the road probably had other things to consider even if he wanted to take action.

"Longchang has moved. I believe the news will spread to other port cities soon, and the Aden people from those port cities will rush here. Have all the arrangements been made?" The fat man withdrew his gaze from a distance, Asked in a condensed voice

"The news has been sent out, and all the armies have arrived at their positions. We are just waiting for the Aden people from other port cities to leave and intercept them on the way."

Lu Yangyu's eyes flashed, and he replied in a dull voice. He looked at the light spot below. It was full of complexity, and a single move could affect the whole body. The emperor said so, but in Lu Yangyu's eyes, the big net drawn by this was , It is simply to catch all the Aden people in Liucheng Port. Originally, we wanted to gather all the Aden people in Liucheng Port in one place, but it was very difficult to do so.

But now, it is so real before his eyes. The Aden people in Longchang are being oppressed and civil strife breaks out. The Aden people in other port cities will inevitably send out support, but no one in Aden would have thought that the imperial army is already waiting halfway. To catch them, Longchang was a bait. From the gathering of the Aden people to the final outbreak of turmoil, it was part of the plan. ., of course he is not worried about the safety of the people of Aden, he is just confused. Until now, he does not know what method the emperor used to let the people of Aden make a situation that might have been very complicated as they most hoped. Suddenly the balance becomes tilted

"I don't understand. What method did your Majesty use to cause the people of Aden to get into chaos?" Lu Yangyu hesitated, and carefully told the emperor his confusion. This matter was like a heartache weighing on his head. "It's not what you think." "It's so complicated. It's nothing more than taking advantage of the great elder Yaglen." The emperor waved his hand indifferently and laughed. He looked very happy. The sky above his head was picturesque with stars, and under the sky, But a huge killing situation is spreading

"Using the Great Elder of Aden?" Lu Yangyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and his face became even more confused. This Great Elder of Aden has a very important status in the hearts of the people of Aden. In the hearts of the Aden businessmen in Central Asia, they have never been humble. A magical place where a businessman becomes a noble with great honor

"Actually, it's nothing. It can only be said that Yagren brought it upon himself. You must know that the way Yagren, the great elder, controls the businessmen of Aden is mainly to hold the right to recommend once a year. It is because of this that he has been doing nothing for more than ten years. , although there are wealthy businessmen who have entered the ranks of the Aden nobility because of the recommendation of the temple, but there is only one quota, which is the biggest problem in itself. "

"The biggest problem?" After hearing the emperor's words, Lu Yangyu felt that he couldn't understand it at all. Isn't it a good thing to be able to make an Aden businessman a noble? How come it has become the biggest problem?

"Aglen held the power of recommendation, which attracted many wealthy families in Aden and gave away so much wealth to the temple. But in the end, only one person could be selected, and most of them were not selected." The emperor's voice paused. After a pause, he continued, "The longer the suppression, the greater the rebound.

In order to compete for the entire quota, some of Aden's wealthy businessmen almost lost their money, but as a result, all their efforts were in vain. According to the temple's practice, what has been given to the temple will not be returned. In this case "No one will swallow this breath. With a little provocation, these wealthy businessmen who have failed have given up hope on Yagren, so the method they choose must be to decide to do it themselves." Like this? "Lu Yangyu was stunned when he heard this.

"It's really prosperous this time. As long as you bring these things back, you can earn a lot of money." An Aden guard walked out carrying large and small bags of things. Robbery was everywhere. As a member of Longchang Mansion, The aristocratic district was blocked by more than ten waves in a row. The Yaden people scraped everything clean, and finally even the silver spittoon was snatched away by the Yaden people. The Longchang Mansion was burned in the blazing fire. The Yaden people who couldn't vent their anger plundered the surrounding residents and kicked open the door. I rushed in, only to find that it was empty. There was no one in Dangdang. Most of the houses and courtyards that could be close to the government office were well-known people in Longchang. Although no one was found, the people of Aden still cheered and shouted. People can run, but the whole yard The belongings were still there, and the people from Aden couldn't wait to rush forward. They even fought with each other to snatch something. Carrying large and small bags of things, many people from Aden were wandering in the streets with great satisfaction. The area near Longchang Mansion was completely occupied by Aden. The people were swept away,

In the chaos, someone started shouting to go to the north of the city. "The north of the city is where the merchants of Longchang are located. The wealth there will definitely be no less than that of the government office! Anyway, we have already robbed it, so there is no need to continue to rob it a little more."

"Let's go to the north of the city!" When the people of Aden heard that they were going to the north of the city, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they swarmed towards the north of the city.

"Sir, the people of Aden are coming towards us. It seems that they want to go to the north of the city!" An imperial scout reported to an imperial general. He was a sturdy middle-aged general. Whether it was an imperial scout or that The imperial generals are all wearing the uniforms of the Longchang City Guards. In the dark, even with the light of torches, it is difficult to tell that the other party is not a Central Asian.

"Well done. I didn't expect that I would be the first to attack. Everyone, cheer up!"

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the imperial general's mouth, and he raised the huge imperial battle bow in his hand. This specially made imperial battle bow was two meters long. As a commander of the Ciwa long archers, he was also a famous archer of the Ciwa tribe. The Ciwa longbow in his hand killed countless enemies. Just as he was preparing, large shadows began to emerge from the streets in the distance.

"Open the bowstring!" The shrill voice sounded like thunder.

"Creak!" The sound of hundreds of Ciwa longbowmen pulling back their bowstrings at the same time was like an invisible hand tearing the air. In front of them, there were more and more Aden people. Originally, the Aden people saw that the road ahead was blocked by the army. After death, 1 was still a little scared, but when he found that the number of people on the opposite side was only more than a hundred, he immediately became brave.

"Come forward, you are just a city guard from Longchang. Don't you all know what the virtues of a city guard are?"

"Charge up, they will run away like frightened rabbits. The people in Aden were excited and shouted. The number of people increased rapidly. Soon the congested streets were full. Looking at the long erected banners on the opposite side, Gong, I still feel a little weak inside, but as more and more people come in, my courage begins to grow.

"Go ahead, go ahead if you want to make a fortune, why are you still hesitating!" Some people from Aden who had not grabbed anything valuable in the robbery shouted loudly in the crowd. When they wanted to come, there were more than a hundred people here. city ​​guards, and there are two to three thousand Adenites on my side. I believe that the city guards on the opposite side have long been frightened. If you dare, you will collapse if you dare once, but a kind of sharp arrow from the opposite side made the Aden people angry. The Aden people rushed towards the interface in front of them. The wealth is about to be lost, and I imagine that one robbery will last for ten years. I have to take this risk no matter what.

"Charging up, there are more than a hundred bows and arrows..." The Aden man's shout stopped suddenly, and everyone was stunned. Where did the arrow come from? The next moment, they knew that they were wrong, and how wrong they were. What do more than a hundred shooters mean? If they knew that the people standing in front of them at this moment were not Zhongbia people, but the "Shinwa Longbow" who had killed each other with blood in several battles in the empire.

The cold light of the earth, the arrows that burst out from the opposite side poured down like a torrential rain, the pupils of the Aden people suddenly expanded several times, and the arrows shot past like sickles. They were just civilians. How had they ever seen this? The powerful arrows stabbed into the body , stirred up blood, and the people of Aden rolled around, crying for their fathers and mothers, howling miserably, and the sound of sharp arrows piercing the body filled everyone's eardrums. The person who was hit by the arrow was like a heavy rain. Among the crackling lotus leaves that were beaten, that is Even in the dark night, you can still see the blood of the person who was hit by the arrow being violently exploded. The powerful shot of the Ciwa longbow can penetrate even heavy armor at a close range of fifty meters. There is no protection at all in the face. These people from Aden can simply kill them with one arrow After passing through two or three bodies, a man who was shot by an arrow in Aden looked desperately at the hole in his stomach, with fear on his face. He tried hard to cover the wound with both hands, and fell down heavily, still muttering in his mouth. With “What is this, is this an archer?

"It's terrible, these people are devils..." The people of Aden were completely frightened. Not many people were shot to death in front, that is, about seventy or eighty people. The width of the arrow that can be hit is only that wide, but this Seventy or eighty corpses were lying on the ground all of a sudden. The people who were alive and kicking just now suddenly turned into bloody corpses. The bright red blood flowed down the street like a stream, scaring other Aden people to avoid each other. A group of people were bleeding. Don't even dare to step on it Guys, what else can you expect from them? Don’t look at so many people gathered, but they are not an army. When they are really facing the bloody situation, there are a few who are willing to sacrifice themselves. Looking at the strong bow raised again on the opposite side, then The soul-stirring metallic cold light caused the Aden people surging behind the corpse to retreat in fear. Thousands of people were actually suppressed by more than a hundred shooters. This situation was not only wanted by the Aden people, but also by these more than a hundred imperial commanders. Even the archer could not imagine

They are used to facing tigers and other ferocious beasts, used to watching the enemy charging without fear of death even after being hit by arrows. Suddenly encountering such an enemy, the Imperial Thornwa longbowmen feel that they are completely unable to cooperate with each other. You charge instead. Ah, but the Aden people on the opposite side are obviously retreating. To be precise, they are running away.

"Rumble" There was a faint rumble on the street in the dark night. Hearing this sound, the longbowmen put down their longbows with serious faces and pulled out their mountain machetes. This was the sound of the cavalry. Look. When I came to the top, I found that I had overestimated these Aden people, so I decided to directly use the cavalry to end this siege.

"They have put down their bows, everyone, come forward." The Aden people on the opposite side didn't know that they saw the archers who feared them put down their bows and actually pulled out their melee weapons. This simply gave them the dawn of a breakthrough.

"Come on, rush them away." The caravan guards mixed in still had some fighting qualities. They came forward with the door panels that had just been removed, but the people in the front row suddenly seemed to have seen a ghost. Just like that, he dropped the door panel and turned around to run away. The people behind him looked confused and asked loudly. The trembling sound on the ground finally made them feel that something was wrong.

"This is it!" The expression of a guard captain who had withdrawn from the army changed immediately. He finally knew why the other party put down his bow and arrows. The melee cavalry with blood-red tassels and ferocious faces looked like a rolling dragon. He suddenly rushed out from the side street with his sharp swords, the ferocious faces of the cavalry on horseback, and the white air spurting from the horse's nostrils, like a sharp blade, suddenly rushed into the Aden team, the sword light was flying, and the heads were flying. roll,
