"Cheng Yaojin? He is Cheng Yaojin? He is Cheng Yaojin!?"
Cheng Dong also didn't expect that his words would completely confuse the seemingly arrogant leader!
So much so that the gangster leader became like a wooden man on the spot, standing there blankly, not even aware of the saliva flowing out of the sausage's mouth!
"Humph, now you know how powerful our prince is? Let's see if you dare to talk back in the future!"
Seeing the stupid look on the leader's face, Cheng Dong thought he was frightened by the title of Lord Duke, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.
But he didn't know how ecstatic and excited the leader was feeling at this moment!
Because just after these words, all the answers to the countless unsolved mysteries that had been suppressed in the leader's heart were obtained in an instant!
Why were these officers and soldiers so merciless when they beat me? But they didn’t kill me!
Why are they as familiar with Wagang Mountain as their own backyard? Not only are they extremely familiar with going up and down the mountain, but they are also familiar with the secret passages and mechanisms!
It turns out that he was the owner of Wagang Village back then!
But my group was the clowns who later broke into these people's homes!
Now that I think about it, the reason why he didn't kill me was because he was a fellow Wagang person!
And when you beat yourself up, you probably hate yourself for failing to live up to expectations and embarrassing yourself as a good man!
Thinking of this, the leader's face turned red unconsciously.
Yes, how glorious was Wagang Village back then?
When the flag of justice is raised, who among the world's heroes will not bow his head?!
Even the Li family, who is now the emperor, had to take a detour in front of the 300,000 Wagang Army and did not dare to respond to its advances.
But now, after his brother went up the mountain, the 300,000-strong army was reduced to only 30 people. At this point, they were so poor that they couldn't even afford a drink of Jukou Yijiu!
If he were Cheng Yaojin, he would probably have buried these unsatisfactory juniors long ago to avoid being embarrassed outside!
Behind the scenes, the leader was still thinking wildly.
Ahead, Xiao Han had already pulled Cheng Yaojin towards Ningcheng City.
When he saw the general entering the city, Cheng Dong, who was behind him, didn't need to say hello and just followed him.
Perhaps, if it were another person, Cheng Dong would also consider: if he led the army into the city without orders, would someone with an intention go to the emperor to read it?
But in front of these two masters, this worry does not exist at all!
Based on the prestigious reputation of these two men in the court, it is estimated that as long as they rush into Chang'an without leading troops, all the censors and officials will be selectively invisible!
The alert was lifted, and Ningcheng, which had been completely silent, instantly returned to its original lively appearance.
Countless prisoners poured out of the opened city gate, ready to continue the unfinished work. When these people passed by Cheng Dong and the others, their eyes would always fall on the leader unconsciously.
"Why……"
Some people looked at the leader and shook his head and sighed, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
Some people also saw that the leader was always staring at them, and they were a little annoyed. They couldn't help gritting their teeth and yelling: "What are you looking at! You will have to come to work in a while!"
"Work? What work?"
The poor leader was so confused by the people passing by him that he couldn't figure it out at all.
But he didn't know that because of his clothes, those people had long recognized his identity as a rebel bandit.
But here, the rebel bandits have only two endings!
Or, he would be pushed to the market entrance and his head chopped off for fun.
Or, just work hard under the whips of those good family members in order to atone for their sins, and then they can be released.
And looking at the cowardly behavior of the gangsters, he would probably not dare to commit murder and arson, so the only outcome would be to work with them...
Amid the strange looks of countless people, Cheng Dong led his men and entered the city against the flow of people.
When they entered the city, Cheng Dong and his party immediately discovered that compared to the bustle outside just now, there were obviously far fewer people in the city. Even the streets were empty, with almost no people in sight.
Of course, there is nothing we can do about this.
With so many prisoners captured at once, Ningcheng's manpower is really not enough! And with the stingy appearance of the fat county magistrate, he will never tolerate those prisoners who only eat and do not work.
Therefore, amidst the roar of the magistrate, almost all the men went out to supervise the work.
The only ones left, apart from the female relatives who are unable to leave the house, are only the ignorant urchins and the old men who cannot walk.
"Huh? Where is the general?"
Entering the city, looking at the empty and unfamiliar streets, Cheng Dong was looking around for his father-in-law when suddenly, a familiar voice came from the other side of the long street.
"Brother Cheng Dong?"
"Brother Xiaodong?!"
Hearing this familiar voice suddenly, Cheng Dong, who was standing in the middle of the street, was startled for a moment, then a surge of ecstasy surged into his heart, and he strode towards Xiaodong!
Because of the relationship between Xiao Han and Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Dong and Xiaodong have been old acquaintances for a long time.
And because the two had quite different tempers for each other, and both had the word "东" in their names, Xiaodong and Cheng Dong hit it off immediately, and they have always treated each other as brothers!
At this moment, no matter who they were, they were extremely excited to meet their old friends in Ningcheng, which was thousands of miles away from Chang'an!
"Brother!"
"brother!"
A pair of good friends hugged each other tightly and kept patting each other on the back. It seemed that only in this way could they express their joy of meeting old friends in a foreign country!
"Stop, stop, stop! No more pictures!"
I don’t know how long they hugged each other like this. Finally, Xiaodong, who was thin, realized something was wrong and quickly let go of Cheng Dong. He grinned and crossed his arms, rubbing his burning back.
"Hey, I'm sorry! I just got a little excited!" At this time, Cheng Dong also realized that he seemed to have struck too hard, rubbing his hands and laughing.
"You, why are you okay?" Xiaodong gasped and looked Cheng Dong up and down. There was no reason why he was almost slapped and vomited blood, but he was fine, right?
"Me?" Cheng Dong laughed awkwardly, stretched out his hand to lift the clothes on his chest, revealing a layer of soft armor underneath: "We just went to catch a thief, so... hehe..."
"I, you, are shameless!" Xiaodong stared at the soft armor on Cheng Dong's body in stunned silence, and after a while he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily!
However, scolding is enough! The joy of meeting each other cannot be diluted at all!
After punching Cheng Dong twice, Xiaodong put a smile on his face again, clasped his fists at Cheng Dong's men and said: "Brothers! It's been a hard journey! The Marquis ordered me to take you to pick up Feng Xichen!
Come on, let’s go to the inn first!”
"good!"
"Hahaha! Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao!"
These people who can follow Cheng Yaojin are all Cheng Yaojin's confidants. How could they not know about the relationship between his father-in-law and Xiao Houye?
So when they heard that Mr. Xiao wanted to take care of themselves, everyone immediately grinned and agreed without any hesitation.
