So this time everyone unanimously agreed to tie up with the Wang family and join the Tai'an army camp.That is to say, the camp of Zhou Mu and Zhou Wei.
……
……
……
bang...
Bursts of thunder rolled and spread to the distance, and the bean-sized raindrops poured down, covering the entire Xuanjing City in a hazy mist.
A few swifts flew obliquely, and occasionally warriors flashed past on the rooftops of the city.
In Yuanqi Town, a sallow-faced middle-aged man, dressed in black with long sleeves and a long sword hanging from his waist, was dressed as a scholar, walking on the street expressionlessly.
He was holding a black oiled paper umbrella with snow-white willow leaves embroidered on the umbrella.
The willow leaves have never been snow white, but on this umbrella, they are extremely harmonious with the temperament of the person in front of him.
The man walked all the way on the left side of the street, and soon stopped in front of a shop with a plaque that read "Autumn Wind and Rain".
There is no decoration outside the door of this shop, but the door is half open, the inside is quiet, and the sound of birds and people can be faintly heard.
In Xuanjing City, there are not many private clubs like this that are not taverns or tea shops.
But this autumn wind and drizzle is a special family.
Because here not only provide tea, refreshments, but also provide some books to read.
Although they are just some simple enlightenment books, or miscellaneous travel notes, they also attract many idlers to come and read them.
After all, books are also a luxury in this era.
The middle-aged man entered the autumn wind and drizzle, put away the umbrella under the eaves in front of the door, looked down, only to find that the soles of his cloth shoes were full of mud.
He sighed, put the umbrella into the bamboo basket beside him to drip water, rubbed his hands, stomped his feet, and walked into the shop.
There are more than a dozen tables and chairs in the shop, and there is a landscape painting screen between each table and chair.
The guests are also sparse, and most of them are seated.
The man walked all the way to the end, and sat down slowly in front of an old woman in Tsing Yi in a corner.
The old woman was wearing a black veil, neat and simple attire, a raincoat, and a dragon-headed crutch beside the seat.
"Long time no see." The old woman raised her head and gave the middle-aged man a cold look.
"It's been a long time." The man nodded, with a hint of sadness on his dull face.
"Has it been 30 years?" the old woman asked.
"32 years." The man replied.
"I thought you wouldn't come back. As a result, hehe...you are actually willing to come back. Really..." The old woman had a sarcasm on her face.
"It's just a coincidence..." The man sighed, "I have long forgotten about the past, but this time I came back because of my duty."
"Who, even you can't defy?" The old woman was slightly surprised.
"I can't say it, I can't say it, but now in Taizhou, the search for the sun is the main thing, and the willow night is the auxiliary. One light and one dark, it should be able to firmly control the land of the state." The middle-aged man's tone was flat.
"...you have changed... before, you were not so cruel..." the old woman said in a deep voice.
"That was before... And, I'm not cruel." The man sighed. "I'm just following orders, so if you come to me for mercy, there's nothing I can do."
"Chi Jingjun, both sides of the Iron Clothes Army are your handwriting, right? Combine vertically and horizontally, borrow the power of those Jianghu people, just make some small promises, and solve the serious problem. No wonder that person thinks so highly of you... ...But now, you actually want to take action against your own family...Do you still remember your own name!?" The old woman said ironically.
"In today's world, if you want to gain something, you must give it up first. The past cannot be a bondage, and the future is what I want." The man shook his head. "I have unspeakable reasons. Moreover, I came because you are my family."
"Is there any example of you attacking your family like this?"
"Because I am a family member, if others see that I am so strict with my family members, treating them equally without distinction, then no one will have anything to say when the strategies I implement fall on others." The man said seriously.
"So you are going to eliminate all sects in Taizhou!?" The old woman suppressed her voice, couldn't help but stood up and pointed at the other party.
"In the reforms of ancient and modern times, there are no victims without bloodshed." The man's face remained unchanged, and he looked up at the other party. "Sister, do you know what I saw after I went out? Do you know what I will face in the future if I don't seek change?"
"I don't know, all I know is that you are killing people now, you have already lost yourself!" The old woman stood up and walked away with a livid face. "From now on, you are no longer my younger brother, and you are no longer my family member! Farewell!"
The man sat upright in his original position, his waist still straight.
He didn't look at the back of the old woman who left, nor did he get up to chase after her. He just picked up the tea and drank it lightly.

"Follow the order of the state's Mu. Eliminate all small and medium-sized sects in the state within one year. All martial arts sects, aristocratic families, powerful clans, and boxing schools are not allowed to form parties and associations."
"Collect all the meat fields, fertile fields, gather all the people who practice martial arts, destroy the family of the evildoers, recruit security for the good ones, and kill anyone who resists!"
An envoy dressed in black, wearing a round crown with a black gauze streamer on his head, unfolded a pair of cloth with a red seal in his hand, and read aloud.
On the opposite side, Wang's family, headed by Wang Zhihe, bowed to listen to the reading.
Wang Shaojun and Wei He are also among them, located in the middle rear.
In front of them were all the second-generation backbone officials of the Wang family.For example, Wang Yehe, the father of Wang Shaojun, is listed here.
"Wang Zongbing, please accept the secret order." The envoy collected the cloth, held it in both hands, and sent it to Wang Zhihe who was at the front.
Wang Zhihe closed his eyes, then opened them again, sighed, and still took the cloth with both hands.
"Wang Zhihe, accept the order."
"Master Zhou has high hopes for Zongbing Wang, please don't let the two adults down." The messenger said with a smile.
"I understand." Wang Zhihe nodded solemnly.
It's just that he feels helpless, martial arts practice is very popular in Taizhou, and it's not easy to finish these things within a year.
"Don't worry, Zongbing Wang. This matter is led by the two organizations of Xunri and Liuye. You only need to deal with the minor details." The messenger laughed. "Those so-called gangsters are just hidden dangers of lawless violence. It is also the expectation of all Taizhou people to completely cut them off. Don't you think so?"
Wang Zhihe was speechless.
Wang Shaojun and Wei He behind him also looked at each other.
Soon, the envoy got into the car and left quickly.
The Wang family once again called the second generation of clan members for an internal meeting, while Wang Shaojun and Wei He returned to the private courtyard alone.
After the maids brought the tea, they retreated one after another.Only two people sat opposite each other.
"That's it, no need to guess. Why did the Chijing army attack Tianyinmen in the first place, why did the Lishan faction have an accident recently, and the Danyangmen also started to have troubles before. These things are probably all the above. "Wang Shaojun smiled wryly.
Wei He remained silent, and he felt very lucky. If he hadn't had a good personal relationship with Wang Shaojun, he might have been included in the list of purged targets this time.
But now, although Wanqingmen was not included in the list, he still had to do his part to prove his position.
"Old Wei, I'm afraid I need you to help me this time." Wang Shaojun said in a deep voice.
"How to say?" Wei He said.
"This order was issued this time, and there is another purpose in it, which is to test the ability of each city's rulers from this matter, so if my Wang family can complete this matter with its own strength, it will definitely go to the next level in the future." Wang Shaojun See clearly.
Wei He fell silent.
Chapter 217
After returning from Wang's house, Wei He began to inquire about the Lishan faction and the situation of the other small and medium gangs.
On the ground of Xuanjing City, there are still more than a dozen gangs left, no more, no less.
There are fewer gangs and more gangs.
Many of them are even inextricably linked with the three masters, and some simply have the support of the three masters behind them.
Mobilizing them is actually mobilizing the foundation of the three great masters.
In this case, the rebound that may be faced can be imagined to know how troublesome it is.
But in Wang Shaojun's words, it seems that he is quite optimistic about this action.
Wei He couldn't understand, there must be something hidden in it that he didn't know.
A few days later, he got engaged.
Wei He did not invite many people to the engagement ceremony of the Wanqing sect master, but only invited Wang Shaojun, his father Wang Yehe, and a few other friends.
He and Wan Qingqing simply served some drinks, with Wan Ling as the representative of the parents' generation, after prostrating, they settled on their names and waited for the right time to formally marry.
During this period, flying thieves appeared in several cities in Taizhou, and they kept stealing all kinds of rare treasures.
If it was just this, it would be fine, but the Flying Thief quickly shifted his target from the treasure to the secret book of real skills.
He actually started to steal real skills, and he was able to succeed.
Several medium-sized sects were hit by the trick, and then joined forces to contribute money, offer rewards to them, and dispatch their own elites to hunt them down.
The Flying Thief was also nicknamed Meteor Thief by the troublemakers.
Not because of anything else, but just because this person declared that the knife in his hand was called Meteor Knife during a theft.Hence the name.
The meteor thieves kept coming and going, and soon there were the forces of seeking advice and teachings quietly spreading, but they were soon completely strangled and suppressed.
And under such circumstances, the first settlement operation was actually carried out under the auspices of the Wang family.
And the main members of the operation, as the messenger said before, were not them, but Xunri Liuye and others who belonged directly to the prefecture above.
In Nong County, in front of a group of buildings leaning against mountains far away from the county seat.
Wang Shaojun, Wei He, led a large group of Chijing soldiers and horses, and looked at the building from a distance.
There was another person in front of them.
This person has a white face and no beard, black gauze official uniform, hair and eyebrows all turned into white.Standing in front, there is a faint elusive aura.
In the perception of Wang Shaojun and Wei He, this person was clearly standing in front of them, but they didn't feel it at all.It was as if there was nothing there.
This person's name is Zhu Chen.It is one of the executors sent by the organization 'Xunri'.
Originally, Wang Shaojun planned to let the Wang family handle the operation completely, but he did not expect that Xunri would send people really quickly.
As soon as the secret order was delivered, someone rushed over overnight to preside over the operation.
"Many years ago, when I was a child." Zhu Chen's voice was soft and sharp, like an eunuch.
"At that time, I had seen Longying and Fengwu at their peak, taking actions to strangle the enemy. At that time, it was really majestic and domineering, no one could stop it, no one dared to stop it."
"The envoy was joking, and now I'm waiting to make a move, and no one can stop me." Wang Shaojun laughed.
"Shaojun, you don't understand. After seeing that scene, look at the world today. It's really not as good. Since then, I have become more and more disappointed."
Zhu Chen raised one hand and spread his five fingers.
Immediately, on both sides of the Chijing Army's team, black shadows flashed quickly, and swept towards the distant buildings.
These black shadows were extremely fast, at least as fast as the three-blood-legged fighters Wei He had seen before.
"This is the headquarters of the Nighthawk Tower. If you don't kneel down after the ultimatum is issued, then you will die." Zhu Chen said lightly.
"kill!"
He gave an order.
Immediately, the sergeants of the Chijing Army stepped forward one after another, rushing towards the building like flowing water.
Archers and sword and shield soldiers are arranged separately.
A large number of rockets, accompanied by the sound of the bowstring, fell on the Nighthawk Tower like raindrops.
It seemed that the Nighthawk Tower was also prepared, and several figures jumped up, holding a large gray and white net in their hands.
As the giant net rolls and turns, it suddenly looks like a whirlpool, pulling a large number of rockets together.
ho! !
Those several figures roared angrily, rolled up the huge net into a ball with all their strength, and threw it towards Chi Jingjun.
A giant tennis ball with a diameter of more than ten meters, wrapped in a large number of burning rockets in mid-air, rolled and rushed towards the Chijing Army who was arrayed to deal with it.
"It's been a long time since I made a move, so don't be overtaken by other divisions." Zhu Chen smiled slightly.
He reached out.
