Chapter 88 The oriole is behind (2) capital!

Hidden on his chest was a thick stack of silver notes, which he obtained from freeing prisoners of war a few days ago, plus the scattered silver he had accumulated over the years, totaling more than two thousand three hundred taels.

Since he is escaping for his life, he will definitely not be able to take away the cash and gold bars that he embezzled from his predecessor. These personal belongings are his entire net worth and will be his biggest capital for escaping!

Feeling the thickness of the banknote, Ye Mingsheng felt relieved. Just as he was about to tell Ye Tie to run away, Chen Yannian's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Lord Commander, Lord Cai Pengbo has arrived outside the town and is asking us to open the city gate... I wonder what your decision is, sir?"

As soon as Chen Yannian finished speaking, Wang Xian's impatient voice came from outside again.

"Sir, are you awake? What should we do now? You are the commander. You need to get the letter..."

Seeing Chen Yannian and Wang Xian coming, Ye Mingsheng and Ye Tie looked at each other in the tent. Ye Mingsheng shook his head helplessly. Knowing that these two people were coming, he probably wouldn't be able to run away even if he wanted to!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice from the tent: "I know, wait for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng took out the banknote from his arms and handed it to Ye Tie.

"Master, what do you mean?" Looking at these thousands of taels of banknotes, Ye Tie suddenly became frightened and said in a low voice:

Putting the banknote into Ye Tie's hand, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice: "Their target is me, not you. You take these banknotes. If I, Ye, don't deserve to die this time, then naturally everything will be over."

good!

"Master, if I am in trouble, you can take Ye Dong and the others and take these banknotes back to the Ye family. Please honor my mother, please!"

"Young Master..." Listening to "my young master"'s request, Ye Tie, a tough guy, couldn't help but look excited.

Without waiting for Ye Tie to say anything, Ye Mingsheng put on a set of robes, straddled his sword, and walked out of the tent. He glanced at Chen Yannian and Wang Xian who were waiting outside the tent. Ye Mingsheng looked slightly as usual.

nodded

As they walked towards the gate of Luwang Town, Chen Yannian and Wang Xian silently followed behind Ye Mingsheng.

The cold wind in the middle of the night hit Ye Mingsheng's face, blowing away the remaining sleepiness in his mind and making Ye Mingsheng's mind clearer.

If he dies here this time, then everything will be over. The only thing he can hope for is that the money can help the original owner's family live a better life. In this way, he will live up to the kindness of the original owner's body!

Luwang Town is not big. Ye Mingsheng didn't leave for long when he appeared in his sight. The low city wall of Luwang Town could be heard vaguely in his ears. The imperial army of Zhou Dynasty outside was shouting loudly.

Voice···········

According to the laws of the palace, as a small town with only a few thousand residents, Luwang Town was originally not qualified to build a city wall.

However, because the town is located at the foot of Huishan Mountain, there is a serious banditry problem. Bandits often come down the mountain to plunder. Therefore, in order to protect their own lives and property, the residents of Luwang Town spontaneously raised funds and built a city wall around the town.

.

In fact, the city wall of Luwang Town is not so much a city wall as a building made up of earth walls, stone walls, and wooden walls. The highest point of the city wall is less than one foot, and the average is only about two meters.

It can only resist some bandits with poor equipment and lack of training and command. It cannot stop the attack of Cui Pengbo's cavalry outside.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but have a look of doubt in his eyes...

With doubts in his heart, Ye Mingsheng stepped onto the city tower and glanced outside the city wall. He could clearly see that not far outside the city wall, hundreds of cavalrymen holding torches were waiting in full formation.

In front of him, several figures on horses were spraying obscenities.

"You bunch of bastards, why haven't you opened the door? Your grandpa and I are about to freeze into popsicles outside!"

"If you don't open the door, I will break in by myself, pull you out of bed, and kick your butts!"

"What a fool, I came to you under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, but you locked us out, please open the door quickly!"

············

············

"Sir, they claim to be Commander Cai's subordinates and want us to open the city gate and let them in!" Lin Huaiwu, who was guarding the top of the city, saw Ye Mingsheng coming and hurriedly greeted him:

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng glanced at the cavalry outside, which pole was holding the military flag with the word "Cai" on it, and said lightly: "Give me the three-eyed gun with good bullets on that pole!"

"Sir, no!"

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's order, Chen Yannian and Wang Xian, who were following behind, immediately thought that Ye Mingsheng was provoked by the insult and wanted to fire back, so they quickly tried to dissuade Ye Mingsheng in unison:

Ye Mingsheng turned a blind eye to their suggestions and still looked at Lin Huaiwu in front of him. Lin Huaiwu hesitated for a moment, but decided to obey Ye Mingsheng's order. He took a three-eyed gun from a soldier on the side and personally

After loading the gunpowder and lead bullets, they handed them over to Ye Mingsheng.

"Sir, it is a serious crime to kill a fellow comrade without permission..."

Seeing Ye Mingsheng take the three-eyed gun, Chen Yannian couldn't help but continue to dissuade:

Even though what Chen Yannian said was sincere, Ye Mingsheng still didn't even look at him. With the three-eyed blunderbuss in his hand, he aimed at the outside of the city wall and pulled the trigger under the gaze of everyone.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the silent night, the gunshots of the three-eyed gun were particularly clear and loud. When the cavalrymen who were calling for formation outside the city heard the sound of the gunshots, they subconsciously closed their mouths and bowed their bodies.

, hiding behind the horse's belly.

"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!"

Seeing this cowardly appearance, the soldiers on the city wall who had already been insulted by their dirty words were furious, and the soldiers immediately burst into laughter.

"Ye Mingsheng is here, where is Brother Cai?"

Throwing the useless three-eyed gun back to Lin Huaiwu, Ye Mingsheng stood on the top of the city, looked at the center of the cavalry formation outside the city, and said loudly:

When he heard the shouting, Cai Pengbo was surrounded by his cavalry outside the city. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Mingsheng's long, independent figure on the top of the city. He took a deep breath and shouted in a cold voice:
Chapter completed!
