Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1046

'Plop.'

Meeting Xu Shan's sharp and sinister gaze, some of these restless remnants of the Donglin Party, unable to withstand the pressure, knelt down on the ground.

Right next to them was a live broadcast of Tian Xue displaying his swordsmanship, and all around them... the screams of the Wudang Flying Army and the Wanzhou garrison were constantly stimulating their brains.

"Finish off anyone who's still alive."

"Didn't you understand Lord Xu's order?"

"Leave no one alive, burn their bones and scatter their ashes!"

"How dare they provoke the emperor's personal guards? And they even dare to bare their teeth at our master?"

"Even when they die, their souls must be so thoroughly buried that not a trace of their bodies can be found."

The generals of the A-class battalion, the B-class battalion, and even the Big Sword Battalion were all ruthless.

Their commands and shouts terrified these remnants who had once hoped to avenge the Donglin Party.

Their legs wouldn't obey them, and they naturally knelt on the ground.

Ma Jian, who personally drafted and wrote the "Proclamation Against Xu," also wanted to kneel down.

However, the two Imperial Guards holding him up forced him to stand there.

But terrified, he immediately cried out in a choked voice, "Xu, Imperial Envoy Xu..."

"We were all forced into this."

"If we don't write this manifesto and don't take action against the captured Imperial Guards, they will make us wish we were dead."

"Yes, Imperial Envoy Xu."

"For the sake of our shared service in the same court, and for the sake of our long journey to accompany you to Sichuan, we beg Imperial Envoy Xu, please be magnanimous and let us go."

Hearing them defend themselves and beg for mercy, Xu Shan's lips curled up slightly at that moment.

His smile remained as alluring as ever.

But now, in the eyes of Ma Jian and others, it appears so ferocious.

As for Zhang Liansong and his close associates who knew him well...

When Shan Ye smiles, life and death are unpredictable!

"According to your version of events..."

"Afraid of them? You've made your lives a living hell. Aren't you afraid of our retribution later?"

Upon hearing this, some officials, who had already sensed the chilling murderous intent in Xu Shan's words, immediately cried out.

"Xu, Imperial Envoy Xu, we were wrong."

"From now on, no matter where we are, we will always follow your lead and never have any other thoughts."

"Please spare us this time."

"Yes, Imperial Envoy Xu, we have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a young child crying for milk."

“Once we die, they will…”

This time, before they could finish speaking, Xu Shan replied calmly but with a murderous intent: "Simple!"

Are you all coming together?

"what?"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, there was a brief pause at the scene.

Until Master Xu, who could determine their fate at a glance, spoke again: "Lian Song!"

"arrive."

"A message was sent by carrier pigeon to Jiangnan. These officials fear that after their deaths they will be unable to properly care for their parents and raise their children. This imperial envoy, moved by their sincerity and fearing that they may be separated by death, therefore..."

"Exterminate their entire family!"

'boom.'

After Xu Shan finished speaking, Ma Jian and the others' heads started buzzing.

What terrified them even more was that Zhang Liansong, after noting these things down, immediately ordered someone to send a message by carrier pigeon, leaving no room for maneuver.

"what……"

“Your surname is Xu. Even if we are guilty, it is not your place to judge us.”

"You, you need to think this through. Once this matter escalates, the entire Jiangnan gentry will condemn you. And you... will be infamous for eternity."

"History will record your many evil deeds."

Did they intend to use their fame to blackmail Xu Shan?

Don't forget what his "online army" does.

“Lord Ma, Lord Niu… as long as your aristocratic families’ backbone remains so weak.”

"I believe that no matter how much people criticize me outside, there will be great scholars who will defend this imperial envoy. It's just a matter of using some tricks!"

"As for history books..."

"It's always the victors who write the stories."

After saying that, Xu Shan turned to Xuan Yueyu and said, "Don't let them die so easily."

"We always need to give an explanation to the outside world. We can use any means necessary, as long as the testimonies are confirmed."

"clear."

"Drag him away and execute him."

This time, no matter how much Ma Jian and the others screamed and begged for mercy, Xu Shan, who had turned around, did not hesitate for even a moment!

That night, Xu Shan left two divisions to guard Wanzhou and clear out the Shu army in the surrounding towns, while he led the rest of his soldiers to Jiangzhou overnight.

But as soon as they passed Fengdu, they learned of the great victory at Jiangzhou.

"Under the combined attack of the Jiangzhou garrison and the naval forces of the two lakes, the Shu County naval force was utterly routed."

"They broke through to the south and, with the help of the remnants of the Hundred Beast Valley, entered the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"Lord Wang and Lord Li also attempted to probe and kill him. But..."

"Within the Valley of a Hundred Beasts, poisonous insects, traps, and driven birds of prey and wild beasts have caused heavy casualties to our soldiers. Therefore, we have no choice but to retreat outside the Valley of a Hundred Beasts."

Upon hearing this report, Xu Shan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Understood."

"You should return to Jiangzhou now and order Lord Wang and Lord Li to collect catapults and oil..."

After Xu Shan made some arrangements, the scout immediately accepted the order and returned to Jiangzhou.

"My lord, the things you asked them to prepare are all siege weapons."

"Beast Valley is all bushes and jungles. What are you preparing these things for?"

After the scouts left, Zhang Liansong cautiously inquired.

After he finished speaking, while sensing the wind direction, he said meaningfully, "If you can't have it, then destroy it."

"No one can stop our march to wipe out the rebels."

Two days later, Xu Shan led his troops to Jiangzhou.

Local officials, along with Wang Qinian, Li Yuanfang, and others, went out of the city to welcome them.

For Xu Shijie and several other local gentry officials, these past few days have felt like a dream.

When they learned that Shi Qianhua, the Grand Admiral of the Shu Commandery, was personally leading his troops to attack Jiangzhou, they were all terrified.

Especially after the "Proclamation Against Xu" was issued, and the Wudang Flying Army and the Miao and Man tribes of the Hundred Beast Valley joined in, these people felt even more desperate.

They've just pledged their loyalty to the court, and now they're about to be punished later?

But in just one week...

With the fall of Kuimen, the Wudang Flying Army was slaughtered. Even Hong Qiweng, Guo Yijing, and Huang Ruyan were said to have been publicly executed by Master Xu through slow slicing.

The entire eastern part of Sichuan was a single, continuous area, completely occupied by the imperial court!

The situation is excellent!

Therefore, when they saw Xu Shan again, they felt a deep sense of awe.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xu Shan led them into the city.

During this time, I inquired about their preparations.

"Reporting to your Excellency, we have collected 10,000 barrels of kerosene and hundreds of catapults from various parts of Jiangzhou..."

"During this period, Prefect Xu and others spared no effort and made great contributions."

When they heard Wang Qinian speak up specifically for them, Xu Shijie and his group quickly exchanged some humble and polite words.

Then he asked, "Imperial Envoy Xu, what are you preparing these things for...?"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Xu Shan said meaningfully, "The weather is dry, and it's a southwest wind blowing!"

"This season is perfect for—murder and arson!"
