As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 140 Ling Yu Rebellion? Zhengyang Ends

"General Ling!"

"Please, please, please!"

"General Ling is so young, yet he's already famous! Heroes truly emerge from youth!"

"Hahaha~ With General Ling leading a large army to suppress the rebellion, those Blood-Cloaked Rebels will definitely not be a match for our dynasty!"

"I have already prepared the wine and food. Come, come, I have heard that General Ling likes wine. Come and try my Baizhou Linguang Seven Immortals Drunk."

"Even Taizu praised the fine wine of Baizhou!"

In the south, the Blood-Cloaked Army and Qian Yuan were facing off.

The provincial governor Ma Minghui, however, was in high spirits at the moment. He wore an embroidered official robe and personally greeted the visitor at the city gate. He looked at the visitor with eager eyes, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

He knew very well what would happen to Qianyuan's officials if they fell into the hands of the Blood-Clothed Army.

The Blood-Clothed Army was coming in full force. He had persisted for so long and finally waited for his savior.

Ling Yu!

As time went by, this divine general became famous throughout the world.

His deeds of killing thousands of enemies and blocking ten thousand troops with a thousand cavalrymen in the northern battlefield have long been praised by people.

Victory on the battlefield is the simplest and most straightforward achievement, and it is also the easiest to spread and the easiest for people to understand.

In a sense, Ling Yu's reputation in this world is much greater than Ming Chen's.

Now that Ling Yu led the army to the battlefield, it gave these people a shot in the arm.

"Hello, Master Ma."

Ling Yu has always disliked the hypocritical flattery in officialdom.

After tasting the sweetness of life, she felt as if a piece of herself was missing when she left Mingchen. The longing for him weighed on her heart like a thorn in her flesh, and it would only grow stronger as time went by.

She hasn't been in a good mood recently.

Looking at this chaotic country, the arrogance of ambitious people, and the suffering of the people, she felt even more sad.

She originally thought it was a simple matter of suppressing the rebels and bandits, but along the way, some things were subtly affecting her mood.

Mingchen told her not to rush into war, but to observe more and think more... After some time, the transfer order will be different.

"Hahaha~ Lord Ling, please!"

Ma Minghui smiled brightly, stretched out his hand and waved, leading Ling Yu and his party into the city.

When Ling Yu entered the city, he was often met with various looks from all around him.

The people here are not as poor as those in the North, but their lives are not easy either.

The common people stood in groups of three or four on both sides of the official road, looking at Ling Yu with strange eyes from time to time, and some of them whispered to each other from time to time.

Ling Yu had sharp ears and eyes, and his senses were extremely sharp, far surpassing those of ordinary people. He heard a few broken words.

What's 'It's over', 'The imperial court has sent troops', 'What should I do'...

After hearing this, her brows furrowed even deeper.

When she returned from the northern border, the people lined the streets to welcome her with food and drink, and showed her infinite respect and trust.

But when she got here, these people... didn't seem to welcome her.

The contrast was too strong, making her feel uncomfortable.

As a soldier, defending our country and fighting on the battlefield...what is it for?

Time passed and the sun set.

The governor's mansion was bustling with activity, with fine wine and delicious food, and people toasting each other.

Ma Minghui's face flushed from drinking, and he turned to Ling Yu and said, "What's the matter? General Ling is in a bad mood?"

"Are you tired from the journey? Come, come, try my Baizhou wine."

"General, you love wine, why don't you drink? Are you giving a humble governor like me some respect?"

"General Ling, take a look. Is there anything in my house that you like? Take it if you want!"

While he was playing the official game, he also tried his best to please this savior general, hoping to connect with Ling Yu through some secret code.

But what he was facing seemed to be a piece of wood.

Ling Yu's face was calm. The aroma of wine filled her face, but she had no appetite to drink or eat.

Looking at the extremely flattering Ma Minghui in front of her, she seemed to see in him the shadow of Qu Yangshu, the person who infuriated her the most in the North.

"Forehead……"

However, the next moment, something seemed to have changed.

Ma Minghui, who had just been smiling flatteringly, suddenly froze. His expression changed, and his face, which had been red from being slightly drunk, instantly turned pale and bloodless.

He covered his stomach, groaned in pain, and collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, several other pot-bellied Baizhou officials around them also showed similar symptoms.

"Peng!"

The wine was spilled and the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

It should have been a lively banquet, but now it was filled with wailing. These officials who held power fell to the ground, rolling and screaming in pain.

Ling Yu frowned upon seeing this.

Someone poisoned!

Before she could check on the conditions of her deputy generals.

"Kill!"

Several bandits wearing red turbans broke in, holding up shining swords and killing anyone they saw.

"You bastard! Die!"

"Puch!"

Blood splattered everywhere. Ma Minghui, who was groaning in pain on the ground, suddenly had his eyeballs narrowed. The world in front of him spun and rolled twice.

The huge head fell to the ground.

The governor of a state was beheaded just like that.

The housekeeper, several servants, waiters, and maids in the mansion also rushed out, their eyes full of excitement, and they shouted loudly: "Long live the Blood-Cloaked Army, long live the Blood-Cloaked Army!"

"That man is Ling Yu, kill him! Kill him quickly!"

Everyone immediately turned their gaze towards Ling Yu, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ling Yu must die today!

only……

It didn't take long.

Several local officials were hacked to death.

The two adjutants around Ling Yu were just lying unconscious on the ground, their faces pale, but they were not hurt.

As the protagonist besieged by everyone, Ling Yu had a calm expression and lightly dusted off the dust on his body.

The thieves who were rushing in from all around had already fallen to the ground, groaning in pain, and had lost their fighting ability.

Ling Yu casually kicked the housekeeper twice and asked in a cold voice, "Where's the antidote?"

"..."

The butler looked at the not-so-tall general in front of him with a dazed look in his eyes.

This guy, this guy is really a monster.

In this hall, he defeated over twenty of them with his bare hands. His movements were nimble and swift, as agile as the wind, yet powerful and powerful, and a single punch or kick could render a man powerless.

It is rumored that he killed a thousand men in a single battle in the north, and it seems to be true.

But then he gritted his teeth and looked at Ling Yu hatefully: "Don't even think about it!"

"When the Blood-Cloaked Army conquers Linguang City, the leader will avenge us!"

"Long live the Great Qi, long live our king!!!"

Since they wouldn't survive anyway, how could they possibly provide the enemy with an antidote?!
"I wear armor with my blood and forge peace with my heroic spirit..."

He raised his head and chanted the motto of faith aloud, preparing to commit suicide.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yu acted quickly.

"Crack!"

Just took his jaw off.

The housekeeper's eyes widened.

This was the second time Ling Yu had seen these rebels with crazy beliefs. She didn't know how to evaluate them.

Here, they don't seem to be rebels, but people that the people expect.

But there is one thing... they killed Ma Minghui and these fat and flattering officials, and she actually felt a little comfortable.

"How about we make a deal?"

"Give me the antidote, and I'll let you go."

She pointed at the two adjutants and said calmly, "They are all soldiers defending their country. They should die on the battlefield, not lose their lives here in vain."

She is proficient in medicine, and even if these people don't give her the antidote, she still has a way to save them.

It's just... she doesn't want to kill these people now.

The people of the northern border, the people here, what Mingchen had said to her, the situation in the court, the faces of officials like Ma Minghui...

All sorts of words and images flowed through her mind.

"Brother, don't put so many restrictions on yourself..."

She decided to follow her heart.

Besides, Mingchen told her not to fight a bloody battle with the Blood-Clothed Army.

She believes Mingchen.

"Ok?"

The jaw was in terrible pain after being removed, but the housekeeper was stunned when he heard this.

He looked steadily into Ling Yu's eyes. The other's eyes were full of determination and sincerity. He was dignified and his eyes were bright... This was a person with a strong heart.

This general seems... different from those officers.

"Seriously..."

"Ben would never lie."

"You are free to leave, and I will not pursue any action."

Ling Yu is not Ming Chen.

She felt that her promise was still of some value.

The steward's eyes changed, and he finally nodded: "Okay!"

He needs to go back and report to his superiors.

This general...seems like someone worth winning over.

……

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Baizhou."

The summons officer walked quickly into the court, and several civil servants glanced at him.

He nodded slightly and reported to the frail emperor on the throne, "Your Majesty, the commander of the rebellion suppression forces, General Ling Yu, openly executed Ma Minghui, the governor of Baizhou, and Xue Yuchen, the magistrate of Linguang... and is suspected of colluding with the Blood-Cloaked Rebellion."

Suspected is a good word.

It can blur the truth and frame others.

Ling Yu, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea about it. After reporting to higher levels, it ended up like this.

"This...how is this possible?"

"General Ling... General Ling actually rebelled?"

"Not necessarily! The best thing to do now is to quickly recall her to Beijing for investigation!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to transfer Ling Yu back to the capital! If Ling Yu refuses, please deprive him of his military power and treat him as a traitor!"

"Ling Yu has a criminal record! He even went above his rank and killed General Qu Yangshu before! He's a mad butcher!"

……

This is a big deal!

The imperial court mobilized troops from the northern border and combined them with troops from southern states and counties, totaling 200,000 people, and handed them over to Ling Yu for command.

If this person colludes with the Blood-Clothed Rebels, it may lead to the destruction of the country!
Even if there is a slight sign, it is extremely dangerous.

For a moment, the court was in an uproar.

The officials all had their own thoughts, and it was unclear whether they knew something or not. They just chattered and reported to Xiao Zhengyang above.

Ling Yu? Collaborating with the Blood-Skirt Army?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhengyang lowered his eyes and looked deeply at the official who delivered the message.

He knew that as long as he was still alive and still sitting in this position, Ling Yu would not betray him.

He believed in Ling Yu's qualities.

The noisy court scene, which was like a vegetable market, made him a little annoyed, and the ministers' bullying and defiance made him sick.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank.

"Forehead……"

His eyes widened, and his already haggard face looked even more pale.

"Cough cough!"

He quickly covered his mouth and nose, followed by several violent coughs.

The shocking blood dyed the cuffs of the dragon robe red.
