“It’s really like what Zhang Wenqiao said, this place is full of infinite possibilities, but it is also full of chaos and sin.＋＋”
Pingcheng is a war-torn place, so the atmosphere here is very different from the hinterland of the Central Plains, even places like Mayi and Shanwu that can be regarded as frontier towns.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of Pingcheng, Li Shushi felt a strong aura rushing towards him, whether it was pedestrians walking on the road, business travelers coming and going, or even people lying casually against the wall on the roadside to bask in the sun.
The down-and-out household has a vigilant look in its eyes, and at the same time, it looks at every passerby who passes by with aggressive eyes, especially the newcomers who have never seen it before, and they are looking up and down.
Many times, still unwilling to give up.
It wasn't until Li Shushi's signal that the guards stopped and drew their swords out of their sheaths that these wanton eyes were slightly restrained.
However, Li Shushi could feel that the malice that enveloped the entire team had not dissipated.
"Just get used to writing. This is a baptism that every newcomer must go through. The rules here are indeed very different from those elsewhere."
The rules here are indeed very different from other places, because the first priority here is not to work hard to govern or develop border trade. Qiangyin here and north of the Great Wall are the first line of attack in the north of Bingzhou, and because Qiangyin lacks protection, not only the city wall
It is not very strong, and the county is mostly populated by nomadic tribes.
The Han people who fell behind and did not settle here, so when it comes to the abundance of food and grass and the accumulation of wealth, Qiangyin is far incomparable to this Pingcheng. In order to protect everything here, all those who come here, whether they are capable officials or cruel officials
, the first thing to do is how to resist the prying eyes of those greedy people from the north.
If it were not for the change in the offensive and defensive dynamics between the Bingzhou Army and the grassland tribes in recent years, not only many small and medium-sized tribes who defected to Bingzhou were deployed outside the border fortress, but also troops were sent from time to time into the grassland for "hunting" activities, here would be
The county magistrate may not be able to make it three years at all, and various accidents can cause the lives of those unlucky ones to wither prematurely.
Even Xun You, who is now living happily by Huang Zhong's side, feels sad every time he recalls his experience in Pingcheng.
Of course, Xun You does not regret her previous career in Pingcheng, because this place has well cultivated her strong will, but if he is asked to come back here again, unless forced, Xun You will never be willing. He is not willing to do it again.
Play a heartbeat memory game.
Xun You didn't want to get into the trap again. But this time, Li Shushi took the initiative to jump in.
Although they were surrounded by all kinds of malice, surprisingly no one tried to provoke them anymore, whether it was staring at them from a distance, whistling fiercely through the crowd, or bumping into them on purpose, Li Shushi thought
None of the methods appear.
This was not because there were so many personal guards around him that these people gave up on this idea. In fact, the total number of personal guards who followed him into Pingcheng was less than two hundred. The rest included those foreign slaves and Xu Chu.
They were all handed over to Jia Xu by Li Shushi. This force will be hidden in an area near Pingcheng, waiting for the right time to decide whether to appear.
This was Jia Xu's idea. Although he always felt that his proposal was like using him as fragrant fish bait, the sudden new situation in the north did require necessary testing, and Li Shushi's presence was just right. But if it really happened
If something unexpected happened, it would be easier for such a small force to escape, not to mention that behind him there were Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu stationed at Shanwu.
So in general, the order in the city is still guaranteed. However, he noticed that whenever a caravan or individual leaves at the city gate, there will always be someone following them quietly. Li Shushi also knows that the order here is limited to the city.
As for the outside of the city, it is a paradise for those who are good at fighting, a hell for those who are cowardly, a sea of happiness for those who are good at planning, and tableware for simple children.
Of course, no matter what kind of person he is, as long as he survives such waves again and again, he is a strong person, a strong person in life, and can get enough respect in the city - although if the temptation is big enough, there will be no chance of success.
He still won't relax on how to attack this city, and even because of the opponent's record, he will be more thorough and ruthless, making sure to win with one blow.
This place can be called the "city of sin", but it can also be called "the only pure land among the places of sin".
"But having said that, after having such a big hatred outside, we can still live peacefully with each other in this city. It's really amazing no matter how you look at it. Just now I thought someone would really rush up and think about it.
Be a 'chess piece' for others to explore."
"Probably because everyone needs such a place. It allows them to get a piece of pure land where they can rest peacefully after a long journey and stress, and it also allows them to get rid of the goods they don't know where they came from. It's like
Just like the 'market' hidden in the shadows in Mayi in the south, many people have the same needs, so there is such a
place, and most people maintain the order there for a common purpose. Those who do not abide by the order will be wiped out. Coupled with the guidance of the official force, over time, people who come here and those who do not come here will
Once you know the rules here, people who don't follow the rules will gradually disappear, but as long as those who follow the rules don't die, there will always be hope of turning around."
Perhaps Old Man Tong is right. This place is indeed full of conspiracy and cunning, blood and violence, but the area within Pingcheng County is like a safe zone in an online game. You can PK outside in the dark, armed with knife guards.
You won't even look at it, but once you step into the safe zone and want to engage in PK activities, you have to consider whether you can escape from the hands of the guards with swords, and you may even encounter people who want to
Other players who want to reasonably and legally destroy equipment from you.
All in all, unless you are at the end of your rope and have to take a desperate risk, committing crimes in a safe zone is definitely the most uneconomical option.
In this way, Li Shushi settled down in a residence in the county town of Pingcheng. It was not like in Mayi. He would either find a large-scale inn or live in someone else's annex.
, because this is one of the properties in his name.
Well, if Su Xiaoluoli hadn't told him personally, he really wouldn't have known that he had such a big house under his name. But according to Su Xiaoluoli, this house was usually used by the Li family caravan when they went deep into the grassland.
They will rest and recuperate here before work. In addition, the work of recruiting new people and training them will also be done.
It is all done here. It can be said that they live here not only because the place here is big enough to allow them to do whatever they want. It is also because this is the stronghold of the Li family caravan in Pingcheng, which can isolate many undesirable groups.
The attempt can be regarded as a preventive way to reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Because it is the residence of one's own caravan rather than a newly purchased residence, it is fully equipped with supplies and servants. There are even three or five singing girls. Even though the beauty is not at all on par with those in Jinyang City
Compared with the brothels, it is not as good as the women that the Zhang family in Mayi is ready to send out, but it is also excellent for the big-headed soldiers who cannot indulge themselves at will during the mission and have been accumulating for a long time without a chance to vent.
entertainment products.
Since it is his own thing, the safety is better than those of unknown origins outside. In response to those expectant looks, Li Shushi was very "kind" and relaxed a little ban, allowing them to release a little bit of their savings if they needed it.
of anger.
However, Li Shushi was very doubtful that even if the servants and women were included, less than twenty female creatures could satisfy the lust accumulated by men five times their size for such a long time? Although it is said that the fields that are not plowed are only exhausted.
of cattle, but...
Well, the following imagination is too evil. Li Shushi feels that it is better not to think about it, otherwise Zhen Loli’s cute little feet will step on her, and Qiao Loli seems to be very cooperative and extends a pink hand.
Tender little hands.
By the way, ever since she suggested to Zhen Xiaololi to pick a date to marry them next year, this girl looks more and more like a lady. Is it possible that she still plans to give it a last try even though she knows she can't compete with Su Xiaololi? It always feels a bit tragic.
.
Well, don't guess what Loli is thinking, anyway, Li Shushi rarely guesses right, so it's definitely him who is the big idiot.
As expected by Li Shushi, within two days, several girls were almost destroyed by the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.
And this also resulted in these guys not only not releasing their anger, but instead seemed to accumulate more feelings.
I mean, is this like shooting yourself in the foot?
"So what is the appropriate way to resolve this situation?"
This question was finally raised by Li Shushi, who was puzzled for an hour.
"If the lord feels that the forces in the city cannot be trusted, he may lead his troops out, choose a tribe to destroy, and then set off his troops for fun within half a day. After everything is done, should he leave it to the merchants as slaves or exchange his heads for
Leave it to the lord of the county and he will die on his own."
It was Zilongjiang who said such a cruel and simple thing, and judging from his familiarity with these things, it was not the first time he had done this kind of thing - that's right, after all, this man also led his subordinates in the
He was the master who had entered and exited seven times in the grassland, and Li Shushi issued even more ruthless orders at that time. The grassland at that time was far more powerful than it is now. It is not only Zhao Yun who thought about such short and easy things, but also nodded repeatedly.
Taishi Ci and Xu Huang should have done a lot of this.
In fact, seriously speaking, it is not that Li Shushi has never done it before, but he has a loli tied to his side. Naturally, his first priority is to give the other party a good time, and occasionally he will let his subordinates ride on the stolen war horses.
Tie up one or two women you like and take them home to warm them. This kind of thing of eating them up and then turning on them and killing them... Well, this is really the first time Li Shushi has heard of it.
Although it sounded a little cruel, Li Shushi actually felt a little excited whether it was affected by the atmosphere in Pingcheng.
So it’s really not easy to be a good person. You might fall into a trap with just a little temptation, not to mention that there are basically no good people in this room. There are only two cute lolita who are relatively pure, but
Considering that those who are close to the ink are black, there is probably a possibility of being black - as for why not three lolita, because even a certain lolita scorned this statement.
"Do you know that good people are equal to dead people these days, and only disasters can survive for a thousand years?"
It made sense. Li Shushi found that he couldn't refute it at all, especially the second half of the sentence.
After all, it can be said that he was also the party harmed by the "disaster".
Just like that. In the next few days, some goods were randomly purchased in the county town. This team, which did not look like a caravan in any way, embarked on the road heading north - although in fact, there was a person in this "caravan".
A senior grocery store owner, there is also a skilled worker who can barely be regarded as a grocery store, a strong woman who can control a business empire, and a trainee businessman who is trying to learn how to control a business empire. If he is a wandering businessman, maybe
Is it also a good combination?
It's a pity that this is not Western Europe, nor is it the numerous kingdoms formed after the split of Shinra. After all, a few people are still a very dangerous combination, unless one of them has the fighting power of Miss Luohe or Su Xiaololi.
From this we can see how rare a modern peaceful society is. After all, most of the time, a car and two or three people can constitute the smallest unit of logistics circulation. In addition to often encountering various blatant tolls, but those
Compared with Europe, which was full of large and small countries, money was nothing. Otherwise, the German Customs Union would not have made such a big move, and it even became an important milestone on the road to German reunification.
Another proof of Li Shushi's emotion is that not more than half a day after leaving the north gate of Pingcheng, at least two groups of people surrounded them, one on the left and one on the right. Although there was no arrogance in their attitude.
It felt like this, but from the way they took out their weapons and rushed towards their side without saying a word, it could be seen that these people seemed determined to win this battle.
"That's why I hate you guys the most for robbing. You have no technical content at all."
Having said that, I have always wanted to say such a classic line, and now that I finally have the opportunity, Li Shushi actually feels a little excited.
It's a pity that in exchange for this classic line, it was three pairs of sanitary balls from three lolita.
Tsk, poor Loli, this is art, the highest state of language art, you don’t understand the appreciation of art!
Naturally, no one paid attention to Li Shushi's wailing like a defeated dog. In fact, everyone entered a fighting state, and Zilongjiang and Ziyi were the two most excited ones. It felt like their hands were shaking because of too much energy.
Too excited and shaking constantly.
"Zilong, are you interested in competing to see who has more results between the two of us? Ah, and Ziyi too. Maybe I only have the chance to take advantage of you in this case, so even if I
If you win, you won’t resent me for this."
Li Shushi seemed to have a "sinister" smile, but as he said, only at this time can there be a chance for competition between the two, not only because of the gap in ability, but also with the improvement of status,
Li Shushi basically took the lead in saying goodbye to the work of attacking enemy formations on the battlefield, and became the commander who commanded and dispatched others on the battlefield. Generals like Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, even if they are still brave, can only act alone unless they are under Li Shushi's command.
They are also changing in this direction.
In other words, they will eventually retreat from the front line, but unlike Li Shushi, the reputation they left has a strong deterrent effect, so even if they are in the position of commander, they will still
It is an existence that the enemy fears.
This trend cannot be reversed, but what no one would have thought of is that this serious injury accelerated the transformation to a certain extent - realizing that one cannot rely entirely on one's own bravery and force.
The general has been very busy recently, actively working hard to become a qualified commander, so enjoyable battles like today may become less and less in the next few years. Even if they fully recover, they will
Give young people more opportunities to perform.
"My lord, you do have bad intentions, but even so, Yun will not let you get the talking points of defeating Yun!"
"Cishen feels the same way, and didn't my lord say that no matter how difficult it is, you can overcome it in front of the girl you love!"
Although their bodies have not yet returned to their best condition, both of them seem to be in good spirits and full of fighting spirit.
"Husband, please work hard. If you can't win against the old, weak, sick and disabled, then you are too inferior~"
Li Shushi, who originally felt a little nervous when he saw the two most seriously injured people being so confident, was kidnapped by Su Xiaololi's teasing words and the expectant looks of the other two lolita. He always felt as if he had launched an invasion of China.
U.S. imperialism in war—the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong opponent.
It's a pity that the enemies who have already launched the charge will not give Li Shushi much time to think. In the blink of an eye, they are almost in front of him. They don't even have the standard equipment for robbery - a hood.
Equipment, bad review, bad review!
However, running so close, knowing that he planned to devour them in one breath, and not knowing, really makes people think that he is a good person who is eager to kill them, so... thank you... ah!!!
As the bowstring trembled, a powerful arrow missed the throat of the bandit leader who was rushing forward...the thief behind him in an instant. The huge inertia immediately caused the unlucky guy to fall off his horse and be galloped away.
The traveling horses were trampled to pieces.
Well, Li Shushi actually wanted to shoot the leader off his horse, but although he was able to use cheating to draw Lu Bu's bow in his hand, the power of the arrow he shot was complementary to the power and speed he could use.
Also the same
That's it. And it's one bow and one arrow, so for those who have been living on the line of life and death for a long time, it is not too difficult to escape. Even on horseback, with excellent equestrian skills, you can charge in a row at night.
The speed will not slow down.
Of course, because of the evasion of the first person and the dense formation of the enemy, Li Shushi's arrow would not miss.
But if it were Lu Bu, it is estimated that the leader would not even have a chance to make a move. Even if he moved a little, he would just avoid the vital point and would still be blown away by the huge kinetic energy attached to the arrow.
turn.
The arrows Li Shushi shot were not so much to kill the enemy - well, at least that's what he thought - as a signal, a signal to take action. Even if they had to face troops several times their size and
The dilemma of attacking from two sides, but such an enemy cannot put too much pressure on the battle-hardened soldiers.
With one bow and three arrows or even one bow and four arrows, every soldier who can follow Li Shushi is an expert. Especially the hundreds of people left behind are the best among those who have fought in hundreds of battles. Even Zhao Yun,
If you are not in peak condition, it will cost a lot of money to fight against ten.
Strength, even if they are willing to sacrifice, even Lu Bu and Dian Wei only need twenty people to make these fierce generals feel the threat to their lives. If there is no way to break through them and expand the battlefield, fifty people are enough to make Wang Yue like this
The rare swordsman also had to drink in anger on the spot.
As a result, Li Shushi was shocked to find that although Zilongjiang and Ziyi's ability to snatch heads had indeed reached its lowest point, the sum of the abilities of the bodyguards around him was extremely brutal. He only threw a few corpses away.
When they were angry, the group of "Pathfinders" who dared to attack suffered serious losses.
If you follow the normal rhythm and face such a ferocious enemy, turning around and running immediately is a skill that these gray people walking on the edge of life and death will inevitably master. Moreover, these people will not think about how to retaliate against Li Shushi's team. Instead, they will use their own
The near-desperate battle damage warns those who still can't see clearly the situation and are ready to take action - don't commit suicide if you don't want to die!
Unfortunately, they encountered the most elite troops in Bingzhou. As the core of this team, Li Shushi, although he seemed to be the weakest, when it came to his ability to deceive people on the battlefield, he could proudly call himself
The Bingzhou Army is the No.1!
Earth policy. Earth sink! Fire policy. Heavenly fire!
For the enemies on one side, Li Shushi implemented two strategies in succession.
The former dug a large hole two meters deep under the feet of the thieves who were about to flee. Although for the knights on horseback, such a height can only be regarded as an obstacle and not despair, then the following
The flames falling from the sky are the beginning of real despair.
Taoism. Eight array diagrams!
On the other side, Li Shushi directly built a cell for the thieves, and mercifully opened up every inch of space in the cell, and even opened the exit to the outside. But it was not until Li Shushi completely cleaned up those who were buried in the pit.
When the enemy was covered in charred black bodies, no one was seen running out of the cell, and even the originally dense screams became sparse.
"This time... I should be considered the winner." Although Master Fa defeated the warrior, there is really nothing to be proud of. After all, if Master Fa wants to steal the head, it is definitely not what the warrior can do, but Li Shushi still
Still looking like a bitch.
Of course, he was answered with two disdainful looks.
By the way, there is no such thing as bullying! (To be continued...)
