Chapter 414: Torment
Having lived for so many years, Qiu Jing has never been more desperate than now.
Some people are born standing on the top, while others never reach the middle of the mountain in their entire life.
Qiu Jing was helpless, Qiu Jing was desperate, Qiu Jing...had gotten used to it.
This kind of thing has happened all too often in just a few decades.
Especially after Wu Zetian came to power, people at the top of the mountain might fall to death, and people at the foot of the mountain might soar into the sky.
The reason is simple, just following a good master.
Putting these random thoughts behind him, Qiu Jing began to deal with today's government affairs.
He is the governor of a state. Even if the highest power is now in Li Cunxi's headquarters, he can never relax and let Li Cunxi's people take away his power.
Regarding the power struggle, Wu Yanhao in the headquarters left all the opportunities to Liu Chuanlin, who was in urgent need of gaining experience.
Even the ministers who hold power at the core are not immune to this feeling of controlling power, let alone Liu Chuanlin who has just taken power.
This way of fighting for power at all costs made Qiu Jing feel that Li Cunxi was indeed here to supervise the battle.
At this moment, Helan Mountain Post Station.
Somewhere in the mountains surrounding the Helan Mountain Post Station, Xiaofeng took the letter in her hand, just glanced at it, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Who are you?"
"Report to the general, we are the people sent by the eldest sister to the Turkic Empire to contact all parties."
"Really? Before this, how many people did you send to look for us?"
"Report, there are about fifty or sixty waves, a total of eighty or ninety people."
The visitor answered Xiaofeng's questions respectfully and did not dare to talk nonsense at all.
Xiao Feng let out a long "Oh" and began to figure out where these Snake Spirit members should be buried.
The Snake Spirit member from Turkic said quickly:
"General, time is running out. Please act quickly and take down the Helanshan Post Station, and then intercept the Tangbao sent to the capital."
"This matter is of utmost importance. Mr. Yu has been worried to death in Turkic these days."
"Everything went smoothly, except for this one. The brothers we sent out to deliver the message to you all disappeared mysteriously. No one can be found alive or dead."
"I guess it's not just Mr. Yu who is worried. You, too, must be worried after staying here for so long without any news, right?"
Xiaofeng calmly looked at the person in front of her and talked a lot, but did not express her opinion.
It was not until the man closed his mouth and felt his mouth dry that Xiao Feng held the letter horizontally in his hands, pinched one side with his left hand, pulled the other side with his right hand, and tore the letter into pieces in front of the Snake Spirit member.
She silently raised her hand, and when a strong wind blew, she opened her palm and scattered a lot of confetti in the air.
"You shouldn't have come here because I had no intention of leading my men to take over the Helanshan Post."
"To tell you the truth, all the people who came to deliver the letter before you are dead."
"The Snake Spirit has changed. I don't want my hands to be stained with the blood of my comrades. If you don't want to die, lock yourself up here for a few days. After this battle is over, we will change masters together."
Xiao Feng was a little tired, so he turned around silently and didn't look at these Snake Spirit members.
She had already guessed what these people would do, so she just tried her best to persuade them to feel more at ease.
After killing fifty or sixty Snake Spirit members who came to deliver the letter, Xiao Feng had become numb and she no longer wanted to kill her own people.
Therefore, from then on, she would give a chance to survive to anyone who came to deliver a letter.
But... there wasn't even a single imprisoned Snake Spirit member to be seen in their camp.
"what are you saying?"
"Are you going to betray my elder sister, betray the snake spirit, and betray our oath?"
"You know the rules of the snake spirit, General!"
"If Big Sister knew that you betrayed me, you would be hunted down by the other snake heads and snake spirits!"
Several Snake Spirit members who had come from afar to deliver the letter looked at the scene in disbelief.
They went through so much trouble to send the letter over, but after reading it, Xiao Feng tore it into pieces and showed no intention of taking any action.
What’s even more infuriating is that the Blood Spirit, the second-ranked of the Six Great Snakes, actually told them that he wanted to change his master.
Is she still a human being if she is such a traitor?
"Didn't the elder sister also steal the fruits of victory from the old master?"
Xiaofeng hugged her calves and rested her chin on her knees.
Her gaze passed over two shorter hills and fell on the peaceful and ordinary Helan Mountain Post Station.
“I was there when the snake spirit built the altar.”
"I know better than anyone that the old master is the master of the snake spirit."
"But in these years, how many people still remember the kindness of the old master?"
"If it weren't for those hall masters standing up to them, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people in Snake Spirit who would be willing to follow the old master."
"Xiao Qingfang can steal the fruits of victory of the old master, and others can naturally drive Xiao Qingfang away."
Xiao Feng's rebellious remarks really made the Snake Spirit members who delivered the letter furious.
What they didn't notice was that several of Xiao Feng's subordinates had quietly come up behind them.
Xiaofeng also had his back to these people, his tone full of helplessness.
"Every batch of people who came to deliver the letter before were actually dead."
"As sacrifices to those who seized power, they will be buried forever in these endless mountains."
"Same with you guys."
As soon as he finished speaking, several Snake Spirit members lowered their heads in disbelief.
The piercing pain almost made them lose control of their bodies. The steel knife that pierced their bodies was pulled out with difficulty, taking away their will and their lives.
"Bury it." Xiao Feng said in a low voice.
"Those who do great things do not care about small details. Since you are ready to join the Li family, why are you sad about this?"
Xiaofeng's confidant wiped the blood off the knife in his hand and came over to comfort her.
"From the moment you decide which path you should take next, those who follow a different path from us are destined to become our enemies."
Xiaofeng nodded casually.
She understands the truth.
But these people, after all, have similar experiences to her.
It's a pity to die.
On the other side, Li Cunxi and his group have appeared on the Turkic territory.
Because two years ago Li Yuanfang followed Di Renjie into the Turkic Empire and fought a battle with the five warlike noble tribes, so he naturally knew which way to go.
This time I took this route again, but it was just as easy as pie.
They rode their horses and sang all the way, running happily for a whole day and night.
Then we found a place sheltered from the wind and stayed there.
After Li Cunxi put on all his clothes to make sure he wouldn't wake up from the cold in the middle of the night, he sat by the fire and started complaining.
"In the TV series, you can run from the Turkic Shi Kingdom to Chongzhou in just one afternoon."
"You'll have to find a place to rest halfway to my place."
"Yuan Fang, how long did it take you to go to Shiguo last time?"
Li Yuanfang sat down and said, "Seven whole days."
