Heaven's Formula

Suzaku stood up suddenly, and took a big step towards the deserters!

Chapter 332 The Spear That Breaks the City

As Ning Wanjun's exclusive car, Suzaku did not install a heavy shelf, and the two wing guards can also be peeled off at any time, in order to give it super high maneuverability, and it can penetrate the enemy's heart like a sharp knife on the battlefield .

At the same time, it has twice as many astronomical instruments as the Xuanwu A-type, all of which are used on the long gun with arms attached to the waist and upper body—this is also a request made by Ning Wanjun himself. Before the spell, she hoped that she could attach an ax-bladed spear to the car, so that she could charge into the enemy's line first like a horseback charge.

Mo Yun naturally did his best to meet this request.

So when Suzaku removed one side of the guard, its murderous side was fully revealed.

It was a two-section armored arm. The design of the dual astronomical device allowed it to stretch back and forth like an arm, but its front end was not connected to the palm, but a seven-foot-long steel gun with a barrel diameter of Comparable to the wrist of an adult, if there is no mechanism beast for this huge weapon, it is almost impossible for two people to lift it.

Under the full speed of the astronomical instrument, the princess quickly caught up with the fleeing enemy with a long spear.

Every time the huge soles of the feet take a step, they will step on a large amount of snow and mist, and the momentum is far beyond what horses can match.Although the Mechanism Beast's stride frequency is not high, its advantage is that its stride is so large that people can't keep away from it with their legs.

Like a giant beast, Suzaku crashed into the crowd!

In the rising white snow mist, there is a little more scarlet color.

The frightened enemies scattered away crying and howling, so that pushing and trampling occurred among their own people.Ning Wanjun knew that these people were just minions of local snakes, and had no intention of using them to expand his record.The only target in her eyes was the city gate that was slowly closing.

good, great...

Ai Li couldn't help exclaiming in her heart, obviously they started at the same time, but soon the princess' car rushed to the front, and the distance was getting farther and farther, and there was no sign of losing control of the movement.

It is true that there are differences between the Suzaku and the Xuanwu A-type, which are lighter in body and stronger in performance, but the doubled number of astronomical instruments will also bring extremely high difficulty in operation.Only those who have personally manipulated the mechanism beast can understand that it is no easy task to move this colossal monster.Especially when running, the qi injected into the leg joints must be kept in balance at all times. A little too much force can easily cause the joints to reverse, and it is lucky to fall into the mud.

"How did Her Royal Highness manage to run so fast?" Ai Li couldn't help asking Qiuyue.

She felt that her ability to control had reached the limit, and if she increased the speed, she would risk falling over.

"This is probably talent!" Qiuyue replied loudly, "At that time, when His Royal Highness first joined the frontier army, he learned how to ride a horse in only three days, and the first battle he participated in was charging on horseback. Let me say , Your Highness is naturally suitable for the battlefield!"

……

"The swallow is dead, you should retreat too."

Master Zhang suddenly heard someone say something behind him.

He turned his head suddenly, only to see a burly man with a height of six feet standing behind him at some point.The appearance of this person is quite special, there is no hair on the top of the head, and there is a deep scar on the face.

The head book quickly remembered the identity of the other party, and the person who came was another Qi-sensing member of the Fei family, the "Diamond Monk" Yuan Shi.

"Swallow... is dead?"

"Well, the poor monk has been paying attention to him." Yuan Shi replied calmly.As a member of the rivers and lakes, he didn't know much about Yanzi Wu Shuang. He only knew that this person was good at agility, and his spells were also inclined to long-range sneak attacks.Someone like him should be very suitable for this kind of chaos.

But Yanzi was killed on the spot in the opponent's first round of attack. Others may not know it, but Yuan Shi can see it clearly.Some small hidden weapon hit his neck, chest and abdomen at the same time, and the wound on the neck was fatal.When he was recruited, he was no longer at the front of the team, and he also used his rich experience to hide behind others, but too many people fell instantly, and before he had time to react further, he followed in the footsteps of his predecessors.

A person who was sensitive to qi died on the battlefield so easily, and his appearance was no different from other ordinary people when he fell down. This made Yuan Shi realize that the enemy was different from his previous opponents, and Baisha City was doomed to be impossible. Block the Jinxia people's pace.

"Although I don't know who the enemy's general is, but he is able to drive such a burly monster, and his strength is extraordinary. This city gate alone cannot stop him." Yuan Shi persuaded, "You still have time to run now."

Master Zhang was shocked by the other party's honesty for a moment, "What about you? Why don't you go first?"

"The poor monk will delay his steps here to buy time for everyone."

The head secretary couldn't help but widen his eyes, he didn't expect there to be such a warrior among the city defenders.

"Why, why?"

"The poor monk once ran into a catastrophe and fled here. The Fei family is kind enough to take the poor monk in, and the poor monk should repay it. What's more, it has always been the poor monk's long-cherished wish to face a strong enemy. Only bloody battles can improve oneself." Fang Shi put his hands together. After saluting, he took off the Zen staff behind his back, turned around and walked towards the gate.

The master was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.

He glanced at the giant red beast that was getting closer to the city wall, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll just listen to you." After speaking, he jumped off the wooden frame without a sound, and ran quickly to the nearest street.As for loudly informing others to retreat, that is naturally impossible.Otherwise, the magistrate will be prosecuted, and he will be charged with the crime of shaking the morale of the army and neglecting command—if Qian Zhixian can escape this disaster.

At this very moment, against the arrows flying horizontally above his head, Suzaku raised his shield forward and slammed into the north city gate.

The wooden door panel couldn't withstand the high-speed impact of a mechanism beast, and with a loud noise, the door shattered!

Ning Wanjun shook off the wooden chips blocking his sight, and saw Yuan Shi standing in the middle of the road at first sight.

Yuan Shi shouted loudly, his whole body suddenly glowed with golden light, and a vague phantom of a Buddha statue appeared behind him, looking majestic and solemn!

This is the Vajra Appearance that he has cultivated little by little for more than twenty years. Although it is not as unpredictable as alchemy, but with the incomparable power of the Appearance, this method is not inferior to the alchemist of the Privy Council in terms of killing!

"The poor monk is the interpretation of the "Vajra Monk", and I am here to teach you how to do it—"

"Go away!"

What answered him was a clear female voice, and a red spear slashed down from the top of his head.

In an instant, the layer with the ax blade on the tip of the gun collided with the Vajra Method!

Yuan Shi's Zen staff held high began to bend and deform, and cobweb-like cracks appeared all over Faxiang's body.However, the downward pressure of the spear was still increasing, and the long arm of the mechanism beast even made a sharp buzzing sound.

This stalemate lasted for less than a breath, and soon the golden Buddha statue shattered countless fluorescent lights. Without this barrier, the ax blade fell directly on the seriously twisted Zen staff, and smashed into the ground with the staff and the staff!There was only a muffled bang, and the mud, snow and ice water beneath his feet sank an inch, and at the same time, a large amount of blood surged up from all around, forming a small maroon puddle.

Chapter 333 Sweeping Shenzhou

After Suzaku broke through the city gate, Baisha City's defenses also collapsed.This disintegration comes from both psychological and physical pressures, making it irreversible once a rout occurs.

Simply put, everyone on the wall was terrified.

What they saw was a "steel monster" who was not afraid of bows, crossbows, knives and guns, but also possessed powerful and strange strength. Even a person with a sense of energy could not match it for a round.People screamed and dropped their weapons, jumped off the wooden frame one after another, and fled in all directions. When Qiuyue and others arrived, the north gate had become an empty gate with no one guarding it.

In order to prevent the enemy from transferring criminal evidence and destroying documents and materials, Ning Wanjun chose to let the infantry team that followed into the city guard the north gate and reorganize the team, while he led the agency beast team straight to the county government to seize the center of power.

On this day, the residents living near the main street all heard the sound of the earth trembling—they rose and fell one after another and weighed like a thousand pounds, as if thousands of troops had poured into this remote town.

When rushing to the gate of the county government office, Ning Wanjun saw a group of people in white cloth clothes standing on the stone steps, among them the one standing at the front obediently bowed his head, with thick hemp ropes tied around his wrists.

She suddenly realized that this person was the magistrate of Baisha County, and his attire was in accordance with the requirements in the letter—take off his official robe, bind his hands, and surrender to the Jinxia Affairs Bureau.

……

The next thing will be a matter of course.

After Qian Zhixian found out that the visitor turned out to be Princess Guangping, he knelt down in his own court, expressing his remorse with snot and tears, expressing his blindness and ignorance of good and bad, and only begged His Highness to spare his life.

Ning Wanjun asked him to confess all the concealed murders in Baisha City, and who were the real culprits behind the crimes.The more he confesses, the more likely he is to save his life.

"I...no, the grassroots absolutely know everything and say everything!"

Qian Zhixian naturally agreed.

He knew very well in his heart that if the green hills remained, he would not be afraid of running out of firewood.Even if the other party is a princess, this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable. When the news reaches Gyeonggi, the ruling and opposition parties will be outraged.As long as I can survive, there will be a day when I will be rehabilitated.

Ning Wanjun waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take him into the dungeon of the government office.

The commissioner of the Bureau is in charge of the interrogation, and she has absolutely no interest in wasting time on this kind of person.

"The servant girl thought his mouth would be a little harder." Qiuyue sneered, "I didn't expect to be softened so quickly."

"Without that official robe, he is no different from those gangsters who roam the streets. He seems to be powerful, but he is actually timid and greedy." Ning Wanjun said casually, "The only difference is that the power in his hands creates The destruction of the gang is far greater than that of the gang."

"By the way," the princess changed the subject, "Has the result of this actual combat exercise come out?"

This is what Ning Wanjun is most concerned about.

"The enemy's losses are still being counted, but our army has not suffered any casualties. It can be said that we have won a complete victory."

"Not even injured?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Qiuyue was also quite excited, "these new equipment of the Machine Building Bureau are indeed a bit... um..." She thought for a long time before she came up with a word, "...terrible. If it were the enemy To use them, I am afraid that the servant girl will not be able to think of any good way to deal with it."

It is almost impossible for such a thing to happen on the battlefield without a single casualty.

No matter how weak the enemy is, the spears stabbed and the arrows shot out can still kill people.Whether a battle can be won or not is often compared with the ability of both sides to bear casualties.Before one side is completely defeated, the casualties on both sides should increase by the same amount.

If it is a siege battle, there may even be a situation in which the loss of the winning side greatly exceeds that of the defending side. This is why all generals do not like to take the initiative to attack fortified cities.

Although the defense force of Baisha City was weak this time, and the willpower of the private army was low, it was still a siege battle in the final analysis.In the process of approaching, it is inevitable that someone will be hit by an arrow, or be hit by a rock or hot oil.Ning Wanjun estimated the loss in advance to be between 50 and [-] people, but it turned out that there were not even a single wounded.

This was the first time she had been on the battlefield.

It's no wonder Xia Fan talks about the cooperative battle of mechanism beasts from time to time.

Actual combat has proved that new equipment and new tactics have improved the strength of the army to an unprecedented extent.

Ning Wanjun faintly realized that these things would change the shape and situation of the entire war in the future.

……

Three days later, Xia Fan also received a report from Baisha County.

With the cooperation of the army, the newly stationed Baisha Affairs Bureau completed the initial rectification of the city with extremely high efficiency.More than 87 cases have been sorted out, including 30 injustice cases with convincing evidence. Among them, the Fei and Tang families involved in the most cases have been arrested and brought to justice, and more than [-] taels of silver were confiscated from their homes. It filled several warehouses.

After interrogation, those involved in the murders of the Fei family and the Tang family were sentenced to hang, and the rest were sentenced to 20 to 20 years of hard labor.The county magistrate and his party members were exempted from death because of their meritorious service in reporting, but they also had to serve [-] years of hard labor and be deprived of all illegal gains.

This is exactly what Xia Fan wants to see.

After taking Baisha City into its pocket, the territory in the south of Shenzhou will be brought under Jinxia's control.While the latter is expanding its power, it can also quickly fill the financial deficit, and the newly expanded army has also been fully tempered. There is really no more cost-effective deal than this.

What's more, Baisha City also has mineral resources, mainly hematite, and the associated minerals are a small amount of pyrite and gold.Although the output and scale are low, it can temporarily relieve Jinxia City's dependence on the import of metal resources.

In addition, during the investigation, the Bureau also discovered two cases of malfeasance by internal personnel. They were only worried that the rumors would damage their reputation, so they did not deal with them for the time being. They just detained them and asked Xia Fan for their opinions in the report.

The phenomenon of corruption within half a month is not beyond Xia Fan's expectation. All kinds of problems will inevitably appear in the fast-track cadres. Only continuous education and iron-like discipline can keep the team's centripetal force and cannot adapt Those who are eliminated are eliminated.

Therefore, his reply is also very simple. Not only must it be dealt with, but it must also be dealt with openly, listing the crimes committed by these two people one by one for the reference of all the staff of the Bureau.

In Xia Fan's view, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for internal education. The Bureau will never cover up any official's dereliction of duty. Once they break the law, they will face heavier punishment than ordinary people.

In addition, he also wrote two instructions in the letter.

One is to open warehouses to release food to ensure that no one will go hungry throughout the cold winter, so as to appease the people of Baisha with straightforward benefits, and it is also the most effective publicity for the Bureau.

The second is to carry out a severe crackdown to eliminate the remaining underworld forces and gang members, and prevent these people from harming the local people while taking advantage of the transition of power.

Only by stabilizing order as soon as possible can Baisha City resume its operation.

And Ning Wanjun didn't stop there. On the day she captured Baisha City, she had already moved north, and arrived at Anshen City a day before.

Chapter 334 The Inflection Point

The residents in Jinxia City didn't know that the whole of Shenzhou was undergoing earth-shaking changes. They just felt that this winter was particularly at ease.

Compared with the tight days of the previous few years, this time almost every household has a surplus of money, the price of charcoal fire is not expensive, and the price of food is basically maintained at a normal level.People don't have to worry about being cold because they can't light the stove, and they don't need to worry about empty pots.In addition to the necessary expenses for the New Year, most residents can also add some new clothes or new utensils to their homes, and life seems to have a bright future.

And everyone has not forgotten who brought all these changes.

If Her Royal Highness the Princess is the protector of Jinxia City, then the General Affairs Bureau established by Xia Fucheng is the beginning of a new life.

Nowadays, [-]% of the big and small things in the city are related to the secretariat. Whether it is finding a job or settling a dispute, you can go to the secretariat to solve it, so that the site that was originally the Privy Council has now completely become the secretariat. The department lobby, and the Privy Council itself, was officially renamed the Privy Council and became a branch of the Bureau of Affairs.

Thanks to the continuous accumulation of prestige, the people have gradually understood one thing.

That is the promise made by the secretariat, and it will definitely be fulfilled.

And the decrees issued by it will definitely be implemented.

This made the bulletin board at the gate always crowded with people. Once any new notice was posted on it, it would definitely attract everyone's attention immediately.

In the eyes of some savvy businessmen, it is even equivalent to a business opportunity.

As December drew to a close, a new notice was posted—the red paper had just been pasted, and everyone surrounded it.

The content of the notice is not long, and it is divided into two parts.

The literate among the onlookers had already read it out.

"A new department is about to be established in the Bureau, responsible for publicizing and recording Jinxia's various achievements, interesting anecdotes, and new policy guidelines. We are now recruiting a book publisher, a paper mill, and a dye workshop who are interested in cooperating. The number of places is limited, and those who are interested can Go to the office of the secretariat to apply!"

"It turned out to be recruitment news. It sounds like the secretariat wants to publish a book by itself?"

Everyone is familiar with such notices. Except for the two major industries of the Salt Farm and the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, the Bureau will allocate some projects for the public to participate in whatever they want to do. As long as they can meet their requirements, they will basically make a profit. pay.

It's just that the content of this cooperation is a bit biased.

"If it's just for publishing books, wouldn't the school have published several books?" Someone raised a different opinion, "They must have new requirements for publicity, so they need the cooperation of the paper workshop and the dye workshop."

"Could it be a manual like "Guide to Coping with Evil and Self-Help"? New ones will be published every one or two months, thinner than books, and the content is not like traditional books."

"It's possible. And if we want to record various achievements and anecdotes, this booklet must be published quite diligently."

"There are only one or two dyeing workshops in Jinxia City, right? It's a pity... this opportunity is not for us."

"Leaving this aside, what is the second half of the notice?"

"Let me see," the enthusiastic crowd continued, "After careful investigation, the Privy Council has confirmed that demons are essentially different from demons, ghosts, and monsters. The essence of so-called demons is the same as that of humans. Conceived. This kind of gestation has nothing to do with blood, origin, or whether it is emotional. In view of this fact, the Bureau decided to abolish all prohibitions on demons. As long as they have not violated the law, demons should enjoy all the rights of normal people. Anyone People are not allowed to harm them without reason for any reason!"

This announcement made the scene fall into a brief silence, but soon, fierce noise broke out in the crowd.

"Is a demon born from life? This is... too stupid!"
