In the forest.
At this moment, Li Qin frowned and said to himself coldly,"There's a path to heaven, but you don't want to take it. There's no door to hell, but you want to barge in.”
"Da da da…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already stood up from the ground and led a team of nearly 200 people, including militia, armored infantry, and spearmen, out. The footsteps sounded light and ethereal in the silent forest, as well as strange. It sounded like a ghost soldier crossing the border.
In fact, before the caravan appeared, the hundreds of people outside were only afraid of Li Qin's forest. Therefore, Li Qin could tell that those people would not come up, which made him a little relieved.
However, things started to take a turn for the worse when a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked out of a carriage. No one knew what he was thinking. He only looked at the forest for a moment before he ordered his men to come up. Therefore, Li Qin said angrily, The other party was courting death.
The other party was forcing Li Qin to kill today.
Of course, Li Qin's map could only display images and had no voice, let alone lip reading. Otherwise, he would have seen on the map that Ma Juren was asking in shock,""Manager Lu, do you really want to report this place to the court as an auspicious sign? You have to know that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor.”
"Hehe, Nephew Ma, as long as there is no danger, isn't it auspicious? Who dares to say that it isn't auspicious?" Steward Lu only lightly described the fear of High Scholar Ma.
"Eh?" Hearing this, High Scholar Ma's expression froze for a moment, and he was speechless for a long time. He still could not understand and could not see through this. He only knew that this was not deceiving Chongzhen.
Deceiving the monarch and deceiving the emperor is nothing more than this.
Therefore, looking at High Scholar Ma's silly appearance, he still did not understand. Steward Lu shook his head secretly, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.
So that was the case.
This Steward Lu wanted to sell this forest to some officials and then let them report it with auspicious signs in exchange for benefits. He really had a good plan.
After all, since ancient times, there had been a lot of man-made supernatural events and man-made auspicious signs. Those officials would use all kinds of methods to flatter the emperor. Whether it was Qin Huang, Han Wu, or some other emperors, they really liked this.
Moreover, if there was no danger in the forest in front of them, they could contact a few big shots with extraordinary means and make some arrangements. For example, they could change the mascot to come in. That would be a genuine auspicious sign.
If anyone wants to question it, please explain where this forest came from.
Therefore, it was normal for an auspicious sign to create a group of interests in the officialdom. The current Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty faced the anxiety that there would always be unruly people who wanted to harm him every day. At this time, if he obtained this auspicious sign from the "heavens", the invisible benefits and reputation would definitely make him happy.
It had to be said that compared to a bookworm like Scholar Ma, Steward Lu of the Yongning Prince's mansion was hundreds of times more sensitive to politics. He could instantly think of a way to maximize the benefits of that forest and turn an ominous situation into an auspicious one. It was not like those ignorant villagers who regarded it as a ferocious beast and kept a respectful distance from it.
Therefore, the success of anyone in this world was not accidental. They dared to work hard, dare to think, and have foresight. None of them could be missing.
……
As mentioned before, if the people below the official road wanted to get close to the forest where Li Qin was, they would have to climb a slope that was about 180 degrees. This was the original terrain, and it was not created by the system.
At this moment, Wang Ming, the head of the guards of the Yongning Imperial Residence, was leading eight people. Each of them was holding a weapon in their hands. Their expressions were serious, and their eyes were tense. Their hearts were filled with vigilance and fear towards the forest in front of them. Thus, they moved forward step by step.
They were already halfway there and were only 20 to 30 meters away from the nearest tree.
" Da da da…" Suddenly, in the forest above, a series of footsteps sounded, accompanied by a series of strange swishing sounds. At this moment, they were rapidly approaching.
Therefore, when they heard the strange footsteps and sound that suddenly came from the silence of the surroundings, Wang Ming and the others immediately put up a defensive formation. Deng Mazi also put one ear to the ground and listened. He shouted in shock," Not good, there are many people up there, about two hundred of them. Moreover, this sound is the sound of armor…"
"What? So many people?" Instantly, Wang Ming was shocked. His face turned ashen and horrified, and he shouted without thinking,""Retreat…"
" Da da da…" Immediately, with Wang Ming's order, the others also showed the good qualities of border soldiers and retreated in an orderly manner.
Of course, they retreated instead of leaving their backs to the unknown enemy.
At this moment, Li Qin, who had walked out of the depths of the forest, was also lined up in a line under the support of a group of soldiers. He formed a powerful force that could topple mountains and overturn seas. His aura was fierce and murderous as he stared coldly at Wang Ming and the others below.
"Damn it, whose soldiers are they?" At this moment, Steward Lu let out a suppressed roar. When Li Qin appeared with a group of people, he could no longer remain calm.
At this moment, he thought that Li Qin was a subordinate sent by an official to guard this forest. He thought that the master behind Li Qin had the same idea as him to use this forest as an auspicious sign to hunt for benefits and flatter Emperor Chongzhen.
As for Scholar Ma beside him, he was also dumbfounded when he saw Li Qin walking out of the forest. He didn't expect there to be so many people, and they were soldiers?
"Who are you? Who sent you here?”A moment later, Steward Lu stood below and shouted at Li Qin.
