Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 56: You have an intelligence network, and I have prophetic powers! (6600)

Xiahui Lake, one of the three holy lands of the mountain people, although it cannot be compared with the majesty and majesty of Qigang Mountain, nor can it be compared with the Steel Dragon Nest, the resting place of the Dragon God, but its value is so great that it can be said that the whole The core of the mountain people sublimator system.

The Xiahui grass produced in the former Xiahui Lake is an important part of many traditional potions of the mountain people. The spiritual energy nourishing extract extracted from it can effectively promote the development of many spiritual energy and spiritual organs. This is why the alchemy skills of the mountain people in the past are quite low, but there are still many high-level sublimators-materials are a very important part.

As the most critical step in the policy of restricting the inheritance of the mountain people two hundred years ago, Xiahui Lake and the surrounding area were completely cut off and handed over to the Lai'an family, who was born in the Xuanfeng Department and intermarried with the imperial nobles. With the new planting technology being used, the resources and fertile land of Xiahui Lake have been effectively utilized, and a steady stream of spiritual energy nourishing extracts have been transported to the entire Nanling and even all parts of the empire.

Only the mountain people seem to be forgotten. As the former owners of this place, many mountain tribes did not get the slightest benefit. Only a small number of "privileged mountain people" such as the Lai'an family and the Xuanfeng tribe were secretly reviled by most of the mountain people as "imperial compradors" The tribe can gain wealth from it.

But now, everything has changed.

As Yin En Yinfeng led his steel battle armor to crush the rebellious mountain people's troops, and successfully took over the military, government and fiscal power in Xiahui City, the ancient mountain people's holy land once again ushered in a new era. Owner.

But this time... the young, handsome, but ruthless Bai Zhimin lord actually claimed to have the blood of the mountain people.

This incident itself is already outrageous. Although the Yinfeng family is indeed the "mountain people" in the Yinfeng mountain range on the back of the empire, it is not the same as the mountain people of the Dragon God's people. thing.

And he even claimed to be the messenger of the Dragon God!

- What are you kidding.

Most of the mountain people who knew the news had this idea in their minds at first. Do you really think they don't know the history of the Ciehalorvo family being exiled? Changing the name does not mean changing the origin!

But what is even more incredible is that he really is!

Not just dragon blood. The revival of the sacrificial fire on the holy mountain, and the fact that the holy land of Qigang Mountain is once again in full bloom, made all the mountain people have to believe that this white man who claims to be the messenger of the dragon god...may really represent a certain trend of fate.

If he is not Feiyan's spy, Jia Ma promises that he will definitely do his best to serve this lord who has brought many miracles and changes. Among other things, it is Yin En who easily suppressed Xiahui The smooth operation of all the middle classes in the city, reorganizing the power structure of the alchemy workshop, and recovering tax rights and military power of the Self-Defense Forces is enough to prove that he is a man of great skill.

Following such a lord, the sooner the better, his future is bound to be brilliant, and the future is also great.

Gamma really wants to send her grandson to the "advanced professional training class" mentioned by the city hall. This class accepts students from the age of eight to twenty-two. I went to an 'adult professional school'.

"But who told my stupid son to marry a stupid woman..."

The man with a chubby round face sighed a long time. He now knows what it means to be 'one wrong step, one wrong step'.

My daughter-in-law was indeed the daughter of a scholar in Nauman City, but the scholar died because of his involvement in the political struggle in the city. The surviving daughter kept her name anonymous and hated the empire that took her father's life. She wanted revenge wholeheartedly. Absorbed by the flames.

She originally wanted to marry someone with a higher status, not the son of a village official like her own son, but because the geographical location of Xiahui Territory is too important, and it is one of the holy places, for Feiyan Land The target, the woman still married and even gave birth to a child.

Then...what else can I do?

Garma has leaked most of the building distribution and street maps that came to Ancheng and Nauman City to Flameland over the years, and because he was in charge of municipal construction back then, he was also able to connect with many caravans , so it is also one of the maintainers of Feiyandi's secret supply line in Nanling.

And that woman ran the family diligently and thriftyly, not to mention her hatred for the empire. She was a good daughter-in-law, but because of excessive depression, she died of illness during her second pregnancy. ...

It's too late.

Things have reached this point, he no longer expects to be forgiven, and he will not naively think that turning himself in will get a good result...I can only pray that nothing will happen, as long as those rebellious mountains All the people died, and Nanling once again restored peace.

Even if it is Feiyandi, it can only be lurking.

Your own life can return to peace.

Maybe.

But, just this night.

Gamma's fantasy was shattered by the iron facts.

In the beginning, everything was as usual.

After work, Jia Ma made dinner for her well-behaved and sensible grandson when she returned home.

The elven grain fruit sold at the city hall tastes really good. Cracked red moon fruit can be used to stew fruity sweet porridge with fine rice. Misty pomelo can be used as an afternoon dessert for children. Stir-fried pomelo peel is also delicious.

With rice cakes steamed with bacon, the meal was quite hearty even before the food disaster.

This is also the reason why Jia Ma thinks that Yin En must be able to do great things - he can return enough food to the territory under such circumstances, and he is not like some stupid lords and officials who want to take advantage of it. The food disaster made a lot of blood money and sold all the food at a low price.

Being able to do this kind of thing is enough to prove Yin En's ability and restraint of desire.

Some money cannot be earned, and if you earn it, you will lose your children and grandchildren. It sounds very simple, but many people don't understand it.

Besides, the new lord also renovated almost the entire city with new roads, and built new roads to Jinye Town.

The slogan of the city hall is 'If you want to get rich, build roads first', this statement is not false at all, the original Xiahui collar is indeed rich, but it is only related to the alchemy industry. There is nothing good to buy, and many people who want to buy some comfortable furniture have to be transported from Naumann.

In the final analysis, the traffic is still inconvenient. Most of the territories around the Onyx Plain were like this. The nobles sandwiched between Nauman City and the mountain people enjoyed the life of their local emperors, and were unwilling or even afraid to have contact with more advanced empires.

It's not even just them - isn't Port Harrison and Boyarland as well? Most of the nobles in Nanling are the marginal people of the empire, who were exiled here for various reasons.

But Yin En is not the case.

He doesn't care about the little authority in his territory, what he wants to do is to become a member of the big stage of the empire.

Although Jia Ma hated his identity as a spy, it was because he was forced to deal with the Flame Land and the Empire that he could see the current situation in Nanling more clearly.

The arrival of Yin En and the joining forces with the Avod tribe is a signal... The Nanling nobles headed by the Marquis of Barton will take advantage of the opportunity of confronting Feiyan to kill all the Nanling nobles and mountain people. Integrate into one.

The rebellious mountain people caused a lot of trouble, but they also exposed all restless elements.

Sometimes, many things can be done easily only if they turn their backs on the flag.

"Little Dale, dinner is ready!"

With the work in hand, the thoughts in the head will diverge. It was not until the dinner was finished that Gama retracted her thoughts and shouted into the room: "You like sweet porridge, and bacon pie."

"Okay grandpa!" The energetic child's voice came with pattering steps, and soon, a boy with bright orange hair came behind Gama, looking at him with bright eyes. The cauldron for cooking porridge: "Wow, it smells so good!"

"Didn't go out to play today?" Gamma noticed that her grandson's clothes were clean, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, while Little Dale hummed and replied: "What's the 'underground pipeline' being repaired outside today... a lot of people Digging holes in the open space, we went to Paco's house to play."

"Then I have to thank you next time. God knows how messed up other people's homes are, you brats." Gamma shook her head slightly. The underground pipeline is also one of the municipal projects that the new lord will do— —He wants to complete the underground pipeline system of Xiahui City, and flow out along the Aile River all the way.

This is a big project, and Xiahui City is not a big city that needs an underground waterway project, but judging from the determination of the young lord, he is obviously serious.

Putting the fruit porridge and meatloaf on the table, Jia Ma intends to go upstairs to see his unconscious son who is probably drunk. I really hate how I gave birth to such a coward, but what can I do? Children can't choose their parents, and parents can't choose their children.

At this moment, a voice that made Jia Ma's body tremble came from the edge of the street not far away.

It was the hum of electromagnetism, and the sound of steel weights trampling the streets.

Gamma was startled. He left his grandson with a puzzled expression and walked quickly to the window. The chubby man with a round face cautiously opened the curtains.

He saw that several magnetic storm armors were slowly moving forward on the street, and a guard team followed closely behind.

The magnetic storm armor is also the latest weapon brought by the lord. This kind of equipment can enable ordinary people to have the power to contend with the sublimated, even if it is only for a short time, and compared to the real sublimated, they walk slowly, but they The destructive power is undeniable.

Up to now, it has become the representative of the core armed force of the Lord's Mansion, and its dispatch... definitely means that something big is about to happen.

It's winter now, the chill on the street sets off the warmth of the lights in the windows of each house, but now Jia Ma Xin is as cold as the water in Xiahui Lake.

Gamma felt guilty.

How could he not feel guilty?

He is a real spy, one of the important people in Flameland's supply box in the empire, and now the guards of the Lord's Mansion are patrolling the streets with magnetic storm armor... They knock on doors from door to door, ask, and then Take one or two people away...

Isn't this the process of reviewing spies? !

Jamma held his breath. He watched the guards ring the doorbells of one house after another, and then entered the house under the puzzled gaze of the house owner, asking questions... The lucky ones were only asked some questions, while the unlucky ones They would be put on the neck with a sword, and then dragged out of the house in a state of embarrassment.

Howling, screaming, crying and justifying... All can only make a short and urgent sound at the beginning, and then it is interrupted by the dull knocking sound.

The guards don't need to listen to people's justifications, tears, fear and hatred - they don't care about these, they are the sword and shield of the lord, they only need to perform their tasks.

He can't escape.

"Dad?"

Drunken questions sounded, and Jia Ma heard the voice of his son Lai Wen coming down from the bedroom on the second floor.

Turning around, a disheveled, bearded man was holding a wine bottle and asked inexplicably, "What happened outside? Why... hiccup, someone screamed?"

He burped.

"...Go back to your room."

Gamma was silent for a while, he turned his head and looked at his son: "Go drink your wine, don't come out!"

"Take Little Dale and don't come out!"

For a moment, the drunken man was also awakened by his father's stern gaze. He was at a loss and leaned against the wall with a wine bottle, and looked at Little Dale who was dazed and didn't know why he didn't eat dinner. He glanced at Gamma again.

He suddenly understood: "Did something happen?"

Wen put down the wine bottle in his hand, stood up as straight as possible, he showed a relieved expression, a relief of 'finally it's my turn' appeared on the man's face: "Then let me go. Dad, little Dale still needs someone to take care of him, I, a piece of trash... can't do it."

"You know that you are trash, but you still expect you to take the blame?"

Gamma yelled sharply: "It's also fortunate that you are a waste, and I think you can survive—don't drink in the future, and take good care of little Dale. If it doesn't work, move to the countryside further south, it's better than dying Strong."

"Dad..." "Grandpa..."

Gamma calmed down, he didn't have time to express emotion and regret, he listened to his family's instinctive persuasion, the static noise from the magnetic storm armor was already very close, and the footsteps of the guards had already arrived at the door of the house.

Dum, thump, thump.

There is a knock on the door.

Gamma leaves the window, leaves the sweet, sweet kitchen, and soon he will leave his home...and probably never return.

But he still walked.

"Is Jia Ma in charge of the family?"

The voice of the guard outside the door was calm, even with a hint of kindness, but it did not give people any comfort. When Jia Ma opened the door, he did not reveal it at the beginning, but pretended not to know: "Guards? Excuse me?" This is..."

"Jamma, let's open the skylight and speak plainly."

The round-faced man heard a familiar voice. Old Fal stepped out of the escort, and Scott, the lord's deputy, was standing beside him.

The old man's dark golden child's hole looked at the astonished Jia Ma. Farr smiled calmly and nodded slightly to his old friend: "All the actions today are for you. This is the only way you can live." Chance to come down."

"You have no right to refuse, unless you want your son and grandson to die before your eyes. I never hesitate to threaten, because I don't want anyone to misjudge the lord's determination—think about Xilin, this is My last advice."

"Next, let me say, you listen."

…

In the last ten days of the year 773 on Terra, the large-scale arrest of spies that occurred in Xiahui Territory was the event that attracted the most attention from local residents after the holy mountain sacrificial fire was rekindled.

In just one week, hundreds of 'spies', 'spies', 'criminals' and 'sympathizers of the rebellious mountain people' were arrested in Xiahui's territory. A considerable number of these people were indeed arrested by mistake , but their daily actions are quite suspicious, even the relatives and friends of these people have to admit - after all, they don't go home at three o'clock in the middle of the night, but go out to fish. They all suspect that he has some secret mission, right?

The list is very long, and most of them are quite decent. Some of them are former Xiahui officials, and some are the family members and relatives of civil servants recruited in the recent period. These people may not be spies, but according to the past They used the materials in the warehouse of the city hall to fill their own pockets and make ill-gotten gains. They thought it was a common practice, and it would be strange not to do it, and the lord might not care, but it turns out that what they did was all in the In the eyes of the lord.

And the lord cares.

Most of the corrupt and bribe-taking elements were dismissed as civil servants and sentenced to hard labor. There are a lot of hard labor waiting in the territory, and those who were sentenced did not even dare to refute, because of their fate It's good enough, and after the hard labor is over, it is guaranteed to reform and return to the right, and you can still stay in Xiahui.

As for the other real spies and spies...don't say they can't stay in Xiahui.

They can't even stay in this world.

"...During this difficult period, how many compatriots in Nanling can't eat enough? Both the mountain people and the imperial people are in a bad situation because of the food disaster."

"Some people say that the residents of Nauman City still have enough food supplies, but the mountain people can only suffer from hunger—this is wrong. I have walked all the way from the imperial capital, and I have seen all the important cities and towns in Nanling The situation in the area, whether it is Nauman City or Shuangshu Town, the prices of all food-related commodities have risen by more than 80%. Everyone's life is very difficult. In this regard, everyone is the same. tortured."

"Only our Xiahui Territory——Because I spent a lot of money to buy grain from the Central Great Plains and grain from Canaan Moore, the food prices in the territory are relatively smooth, and the reconstruction work is also quite smooth, but this has also become A thorn in the enemy's side."

"They use various methods to destroy our existing achievements, including poisoning the granary, polluting the well, intending to burn the warehouse and other vicious methods."

"It's them—my citizens, these people—they have infiltrated into us and even become civil servants in the territory. They used to be a group of people who lived well in the territory, but who can To think that, for their own prosperity, and for the pathetic amount of funds provided by Flameland, they are going to starve everyone else and poison the food we all depend on? "

"Doing evil for their own selfish desires is absolutely unforgivable. Their end is death."

"Right now, right now."

The young lord's announcement in the square resounded throughout the city.

Followed by, there were bursts of fanatical cheers.

Xiahui Land is purifying itself, getting rid of all crimes and discordant factors. The power of the Lord's Mansion and City Hall has once again expanded. Many gentry and city families are quietly silent. They swear to follow the policy of the Lord's Mansion. , never dare to have any deviation.

Theoretically speaking, the execution of hundreds of people in Xiahui's territory for a short period of time will cause turmoil no matter what.

But who said that most of those people are undoubted spies, or vicious insiders who intend to keep everyone from eating?

Not to mention those hateful officials who are corrupt and accepting bribes. The lord wants to hang them, but the ordinary residents will only welcome 10,000 people, and they even want blood to splash on them to join in the fun.

In the final analysis, compared to those who are not very familiar and unknown, being taken away...

The people still prefer to watch corrupt officials hanged.

Yin En's approval rating skyrocketed all the way.

Gamma stood under the stage with a dazed expression on his face. He watched a few 'old acquaintances' who he knew were the spies of Flame being hanged on the gallows. He felt a tightness in his neck. At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a burst of gratitude, as well as heartfelt gratitude for the magnanimity of the young lord.

—He survived. The price was another betrayal.

Or in other words...abandoning darkness and turning to light.

"That's it, Jia Ma. Continue to send news to Feiyan, telling them that the most critical new alchemy workshop in the territory is located in the new camp outside the west square of the city."

The voice of his old friend Fal echoed in his ears: "As long as you can do this, let Flameland send their elite to raid the west of the city...then, your crimes will be written off."

"Don't worry about the future of your son and grandson, the lord is not interested in these things, he doesn't care about your loyalty in the past, as long as you will always be loyal to him...he will show mercy, Leave your life behind."

"But remember—never betray again."

—Of course. certainly.

Gamma thought so.

Of course he will be loyal—he has easily captured so many spies in the short time since he came to Xiahui. A 'spy' who will be discovered.

What's more, since my grandson has already been taken to "professional education", I don't have any choice.

So, a few days later.

The Nanling Base of the Feiyan Special Forces Brigade.

Captain Naimo, who has been in a bad mood after learning that Xiahui led a large-scale cleaning operation, finally received information that made him a little happier.

Most of the shallow spies and bribers in Xiahui's territory were wiped out, leaving only a few spies with the deepest hiding and the most shallow connections. The latter is irrelevant, and the former is also afraid to report information due to the recent bad situation, making it impossible for the entire special forces to obtain relevant information about the Xiahui collar.

You must know that the rebellious mountain people are about to fight the mountain people supported by the empire in the Frodo autonomous region. Naimer can't interfere with this "internal" struggle of the mountain people. The movement of Xiahui Ling is also one of them.

And now, he finally got it.

Get the news he wants.

"Suppression of bandits... Purification... Territory reconstruction, underground waterway and new alchemy workshop - this guy really treats Xiahui Territory as his hometown to run it. It seems that the Feng family is going to take root in Nanling, and they don't plan to return to the imperial capital."

Captain Naimo browsed through the vague information sent by Jia Ma, and deduced the situation of the Xiahui leader. He knew very well that Jia Ma could not do better. Rather, the other party was still willing to continue serving Feiyan. It is already the reason why we have gone all the way to the dark and there is no way to turn back.

Naimo knew in his heart at this moment that Leader Xiahui had neither the will nor the energy to participate in the decisive battle among the mountain people. Yes, according to Jia Ma's information, Xiahui understands that supporting a batch of magnetic storm armor to Avod's department is indeed a powerful support, but Avod's department also has their people from Feiyandi, and this group of powerful armed forces is destined to be useless. way to the battlefield.

Even, they will be transferred by them halfway!

"When it comes to intelligence warfare, people like Nanling are all laymen!"

When it came to the professional field, Naimo was extremely confident. He carefully read the information sent by Jiama again, and then nodded: "Sure enough, Nauman City wants to use the Xiahui collar as the strongest at the edge of the Baisen Mountains. Even if the mountain people regain their independence, the Xiahui leader who has mastered the mouth of the Guyan Peak also has the right to take the initiative."

"When these new alchemy workshops are built, a steady stream of magnetic storm armor and even armored parts will be assembled here-by then, things will become troublesome."

"It is necessary to buy time, stop this trend, or even completely destroy it."

After thinking about it, he picked up another communication device: "After the king of the mountain left, the dragons have been idle for so long, so it's time to do something serious."

Just when Feiyan's Special Operations Brigade finally grasped the 'correct' information and was about to call the dragons to launch a surprise attack.

Yin En, who has finished rectifying the territory, will also start his long-prepared 'raid operation'.
