Jiangnan tonight.

The moon is high in the sky and the breeze is blowing gently.

Although it was dark, the lights outside the city were bright.

Officials from Jiangnan and many wealthy people all gathered here.

The head of the Ming family is also waiting here.

Under the illumination of the array of torches, everyone looked excited, yet also a little uneasy.

They were in groups of three or four, talking about something with their heads down.

Some officials even kept adjusting their official uniforms in the hope that they would not get wrinkled.

Li Chengqian is both the crown prince and the imperial envoy. Who wouldn't be afraid of him when he holds the emperor's sword?
When he went to Jiangnan this time and heard the news, all the officials in Jiangnan couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"Hurry and take a look. Is my official uniform still in place?"

"Yeah, there are some wrinkles at the collar."

Officials of all ranks checked each other to see if they were dressed neatly.

Moreover, whether they were officials or wealthy people, everyone held gifts in their hands.

The packaging is exquisite and you can tell at a glance that the things inside must be of great value.

The governor of Jiangnan Province also came to greet him in person.

He brought the most gifts, except for the Ming family.

Behind him was a team of soldiers carrying a sedan chair filled with gifts.

The opportunity to curry favor with the Crown Prince and the eldest princess is extremely rare and should not be missed easily.

At a glance, there were no less than ten thousand people gathered outside the city gate.

Of course, a large number of these people are from the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Chengqian has always enjoyed great prestige among the people.

When people learned that he was going to the south of the Yangtze River, they lined the streets to welcome him.

Even in the dark, he still came here spontaneously.

When people heard that Li Chengqian wiped out the Japanese pirate army as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, he became even more famous.

Prestige has reached a new level.

Win the hearts of the people!
Outside the city, a hundred meters away, the army was slowly approaching.

On horseback, Li Yunrui was silent.

When leaving Kyoto, she kept teasing Li Chengqian, making him unable to stop.

If the situation wasn't urgent, Li Chengqian would have taught her a trick of having sex in a car.

After leaving Kyoto, she talked a lot along the way.

Until I arrived at the front line and witnessed the horror of the battlefield.

The change in her is tremendous.

Li Chengqian saw all of this.

That scene had a profound impact on her.

In Kyoto, many people say that Li Yunrui is a lunatic.

Perhaps only she could understand why those beggars were crazy.

They were as crazy as she was.

A complete lunatic.

If you are not a madman, why would you risk your life as a beggar?

They sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. They gritted their teeth, rushed forward regardless of everything, and were not afraid of death.

But the moment they saw Li Chengqian, all the Beggars' Sect disciples, young and old, burst into tears.

She cried loudly, with tears streaming down her face.

Anyone who sees such a scene will be moved.

The same is true for Li Yunrui.

For some reason, looking at those beggars, she seemed to see herself.

An inexplicable emotion gradually welled up in my heart.

My chest feels stuffy and blocked.

But I don't understand why.

It's unclear, the way is unclear.

She said nothing on the way back to the city.

Sitting in Li Chengqian's arms, with his head lowered, no one knew what he was thinking about.

The front gradually became brighter.

The city of Jiangnan appears before our eyes.

The city is full of people, and the lights are bright.

At this time, Li Yunrui finally came back to his senses.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and greetings to the Princess!"

Officials from Jiangnan, a group of wealthy people, and countless common people all knelt on the ground.

Li Chengqian was riding on his horse, looking down with a gloomy expression.

"Okay, very good!"

In the dark night, a single sentence made countless officials feel a sudden pang in their hearts. "One hundred thousand Beggars' Sect disciples fought bloody battles on the front lines, just to keep the Jiangnan area safe.

However, the price of grain in Jiangnan skyrocketed overnight.

Many disciples of the Beggars' Sect fought bloody battles with the Japanese pirates while hungry.

Until he died, he never had a hot meal. "

The young man said this, holding the Emperor's Sword tightly in his hand.

Li Yunrui's thoughts also returned to a moment ago.

The Beggars' Gang disciples were burying the bodies of their relatives. One of them, a little girl of five or six years old with a dirty face, insisted on burying a steamed bun together with her "big brother".

She tore off a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into her older brother's mouth before burying her.

At that time, Li Yunrui asked curiously why this was the case. The little girl, with tears in her eyes, told her that before her elder brother died in the war, he had always wanted to have a full meal.

However, the price of food in Jiangnan suddenly increased, becoming extremely expensive and unaffordable.

The people sent a lot of food, and my elder brother gave it all to others.

Clean up the battlefield, bury the bodies, and erect a monument for the Beggars' Sect disciples.

Li Yunrui did all of this himself.

Her hands were already scratched and covered in blood.

Therefore, she felt it most deeply.

Of course, she didn't do those things voluntarily.

But it was Li Chengqian who forced him to do so.

With the Emperor's sword at her neck, she had no choice but to do as she was told.

On the battlefield, everyone saw Li Chengqian's actions, but no one asked or spoke a word.

At first, Li Yunrui was filled with resentment and felt that Li Chengqian was bullying her.

But gradually, after seeing, hearing, and experiencing everything, she began to remain silent.

At this time, she also understood Li Chengqian's intention.

Let her experience the hardships of people's lives, the cruelty of the battlefield, and the impermanence of life and death.

Li Yunrui raised his head and looked at the officials from Jiangnan Province and the wealthy gentry.

At this time, Li Chengqian's voice spread throughout the venue:
"Yes, they are all very polite, wearing their official uniforms and bringing gifts.

Why not open it and see what it is?"

Li Chengqian's smile made many people feel a chill.

There is murderous intent in the smile.

"Open!"

The smile faded.

苍！
Six thousand men slaughtered the army, drawing their swords in an instant. The sound was particularly creepy in the dark night.

A group of officials and wealthy people opened their gifts one after another.

At a glance, it is basically a priceless gift.

Very valuable.

It looks like a lot of thought has been put into it.

It also cost a huge price.

There are many aristocratic families in the Jiangnan area.

Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, a rich place.

However, most of the resources are controlled by these families.

During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was very troubled by this.

Finally, under his planning, the Jiangnan noble families were finally wiped out.

"good very good!"

On horseback, Li Yunrui discovered that Li Chengqian's hand holding the sword exerted a little more force, and veins on his hand bulged slightly.

The beggars' tattered clothes are a great irony compared to the neatly dressed officials in front of them.

"The Governor of Jiangnan Province is here!" Li Chengqian shouted.

At this time, a fat man came forward hurriedly, with a fat body, a fat head and big ears.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The fat man felt very tired when he knelt on the ground. He was really afraid that he would not be able to stand up after kneeling.

A body full of fat is really too heavy.

"As the governor of Jiangnan Province, you sat high on the mirror platform and watched the Beggars' Sect disciples fighting each other in a bloody battle when the Japanese pirates invaded. This is your first crime and you should be executed!

The 100,000-strong navy of Jiangnan retreated without fighting when they encountered the Japanese pirates, disregarding the people's livelihood. This is the second crime and they should be executed!

In the name of the Crown Prince, I sentence you to immediate execution!"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the fat man shouted loudly:

"Your Highness, I know I am guilty, but Jiangnan's fault is not mine.

Moreover, I am a second-rank official in the imperial court. Even if you want to kill me, I must be escorted to the capital, and the three courts will hold a joint trial and Your Majesty will make the final decision.

You have no right to kill me!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian sneered and said only one word without any nonsense:

"cut!"

Qiu Zhu's figure flashed across the night sky like lightning.

The sword flashed.

Heads fell to the ground.
