Chapter 75 Human Treasure
Jinshan Prefecture, ten miles east of the city.
The city guards stood in neat formation.
Several prominent martial arts families, representatives of merchants in the city, owners of various martial arts schools, and Li Songtao, the headmaster of Mozhu Academy, were all present.
Lu Lin and the other students who were temporarily transferred to the city guards also stood with the four commanders.
"Lu Lin, the new governor is named Zhou Tingjun. He ranked eighth in the civil service examination that year and is exceptionally talented in literature."
"The newly arrived lieutenant general was originally a lieutenant general in the Twelve Guards of the Imperial Capital, Da'an City. His exact strength is unknown, but he is at least certain to have mastered the Four Treasures."
"In the meantime, you should listen more, observe more, and speak less. No one knows what these two gentlemen are like, so don't act rashly, understand?"
Yu Tong whispered a reminder to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin nodded silently.
The imperial court attaches great importance to the matter of Qinbei Prefecture this time.
Not only the local Three Swords Pavilion, but also the Three Swords Pavilions of the three nearby prefectures sent their elite troops.
There are people who train hawks, train dogs, use unusual weapons, have strange appearances, and employ all sorts of bizarre methods.
Lu Lin only saw them once from afar, and then these people went to the wilderness, without asking the city guards to send them any students.
The newly appointed governor of the prefecture, Zhou Tingjun, is a favorite of the Emperor of Liang. It is said that he is proficient in poetry, prose, strategy, and tactics.
Chang Dingfa may sound like an ordinary name, but he is definitely not an ordinary person.
The Twelve Guards of the Imperial Capital are the most elite military force in the Great Liang Dynasty. Serving as a lieutenant general in one of the Twelve Guards is far more prestigious than being assigned to a prefecture.
Although it's called a lateral transfer, my being able to come here this time is actually somewhat of a demotion.
I wonder if Chang Dingfa will take his anger out on them.
Even if it's released, it has nothing to do with Lu Lin.
With the arrival of the new governor, Jinshan Prefecture already had someone in charge, so there was no need for students like them.
and so on.
Wait silently.
From 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., we waited, but we did not see the governor.
The city guards were doing alright, but the various families, martial arts school owners, and merchant representatives behind them were finding it difficult to stand firm.
Some voices of complaint arose from the crowd.
He Zhong sent a guard to warn them, and things quieted down for a while.
Another half hour passed, and still no one came from ahead.
The voices within the group grew louder and louder.
He Zhong wanted to send guards, but Zhang Jiacheng dissuaded him.
"No need. Send some people to check ahead. I have a bad feeling about this."
"Nonsense, Big Butt, how long have you been known as a charlatan?"
He Zhong laughed and cursed, then sent a small team of his men on horseback to scout ahead.
A quarter of an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.
"Report, report—"
The cavalry squad leader shouted from afar, his voice filled with anxiety and panic.
He Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and before the cavalrymen could dismount, he hurriedly asked.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Commander, the Governor was attacked and died in battle. The Lieutenant General fought to the death, suffering a hundred cuts before dying. His guards and family members were all slaughtered."
"What?!"
He Zhong was shocked and nearly lost his balance.
The other three leaders were also utterly shocked.
What a joke!
The former governor and his lieutenant were killed, and the new governor was also killed.
Sanbao Sect, are you fucking trying to die?
"Take me to see it right away!"
He Zhong panicked and didn't know what to do, but Yu Tong suddenly woke up, mounted his horse and charged forward.
Wang Chong and He Zhong reacted quickly and also mounted their horses.
Zhang Jiacheng didn't move. "Everyone, cancel the welcoming ceremony and return to the city. Each battalion of the city guards will maintain order. Anyone who takes the opportunity to steal, rob, or disrupt the order will be killed!"
The crowd, which had been complaining just moments before, fell completely silent.
Guided by the city guards, everyone returned to the city.
Two large battalions of city guards maintained order within the city, while three large battalions of soldiers, fully armed with swords, spears, bows, and arrows, and with provisions and supplies readily available, were stationed outside the city to prepare for any eventuality.
Lu Lin and the others also followed to the front.
Mist!
Jinshan Prefecture was not far from the Misty Zone, and as soon as Lu Lin arrived at the Misty Zone, he saw a scene of devastation.
A horse-drawn carriage, its carriage riddled with arrows.
The two horses pulling the cart had one broken head and the other broken leg, and both fell to the ground.
The ground was littered with corpses; a rough count revealed at least a hundred.
There was also a general in silver helmet and armor, holding a long spear, standing in front, dead but not falling.
More than a dozen spears were stuck in his body, his silver armor was pierced, and his arms and legs were covered in blood and gore.
But even in death, his eyes remained wide open, his demeanor fierce.
His lips parted, as if he were saying "kill".
As Lu Lin drew closer, he saw the governor lying dead in the carriage, his chest pierced, a large patch of blood staining his purple civil official robe.
In addition, there were women and children being killed; the scene was so tragic that Lu Lin couldn't bear to look at it for long.
"You bastard!"
"The Three Treasures Sect, I'm not finished with you!"
This is a blatant provocation against Daliang.
"Investigate! Investigate for me! Even if those bastards burrow underground, I'll turn this place upside down."
He Zhong, Yu Tong, and Wang Chong were all furious.
At the same time, a deep fear also enveloped them.
The governor's guards, numbering over a hundred, were all powerful cultivators who had mastered the five internal organs.
Although the focus is on the first and second training sessions, there are still a hundred people involved.
You might not find so many organs at the level of five internal organs in the entire Jinshan Prefecture.
However, they were completely wiped out by the Three Treasures Sect.
General Chang Dingfa, who had been cleansed four times, was also hacked to death.
There were no corpses of Sanbao sect members in the scene.
Therefore, it is impossible to estimate the extent of the other party's damage.
check!
Of course we need to investigate, but who will investigate, and who dares to investigate?
The Three Treasures Sect could have chosen to ambush in the fog, but they chose to strike after the convoy left the fog.
This is not just murder, it's a demonstration.
The yamen runners and coroners present remained silent.
The students of the academy remained silent after witnessing this scene.
"Commander, I just remembered something," Yao Jingkun's voice suddenly rang out at this moment, "The Three Treasures Sect claims to have three magical treasures, the Heavenly Treasure is called the Burning Heaven Candle, the Earthly Treasure is called the Dividing Gold Pestle, and the Human Treasure is called the Thousand Weapon Box."
"Look at the way these people are dead and wounded. It doesn't look like the result of fighting with their opponents. It looks like they were attacked by the Thousand Weapon Box."
This was the first time Lu Lin had heard this claim.
The Three Treasures Sect truly has three treasures.
Moreover, things like the Heaven-Burning Candle, the Golden Pestle, and the Thousand Weapon Box sound like legendary magical treasures.
The Great Liang is not a martial arts world, so why has the style of the story suddenly changed?
"Master Yao's analysis makes a lot of sense," Yu Tong said solemnly. "Putting aside the fact that all these people were injured from the same direction, look at General Chang's wounds. Some of them were not cut into vital areas."
Lu Lin subconsciously leaned closer to take a look, and sure enough, it was just as Yu Tong had said.
Chang Dingfa's wrists were broken, but his elbows and shoulders still bore marks of slashing and stabbing from weapons.
However, what exactly is the Thousand Weapon Box? It killed over a hundred experts at the Five Organs level in such a short time.
