Chapter 19 Vibrating Arms (2)(1/2)
"Is this what Leader Zhai said?"
There is a table in the open space of Baima Jin Village, and a chair behind the table. However, Xu Shiying, who is in her early twenties, is sitting on it in full armor, calmly questioning the visitors.
And behind him was the big river that was rolling as usual.
"yes."
The visitor wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to speak while suppressing some tension and excitement. "We haven't officially taken action yet. The money and grain warehouse, the government office, and the prison are all under our control. According to the original statement, they are locked and guarded."
Okay, don't move, wait until the situation is settled, and then open the warehouse to release grain... But for some reason, Superintendent Huang is nowhere to be found..."
"Huang Junhan was sent out by me." Xu Shiying answered slowly. "Don't worry, I'll ask you again...does Leader Zhai have any additional arrangements?"
"Yes." The man was startled for a moment, but he immediately made a report. "All the county officials were about to revolt, and the government officials were also controlled by us. After the warehouse was sealed, we had more manpower than we thought before. Zhai Facao
The extra people were sent out, and a group of people went to talk to Master Zhai and asked him to be careful about Li Tingwen; a group of people went to the east gate to talk to the gatekeeper, stalling for time, and see if they could pull someone over;
Then...then, he himself took people to the county governor's house."
Xu Shiying smiled and pretended not to hear the other party's explanation for taking credit for Zhai Qian's troubles. He just continued to ask: "Congratulations, right? Let me ask you one more thing. After Zhou Juncheng finished explaining, is it?
How to deal with it?”
There was nothing difficult about this question. The congratulatory document almost blurted out: "Fa Cao Zhai gave him a small yellow flower, and then asked him to stay in the warehouse and grain delivery compound. He is very honest..."
"I understand." Xu Shiying nodded and continued to smile. "He Wenwen, I'm going to see Dou Bing now. I'll give you ten soldiers to bring Zhou Juncheng safely and take him directly to the military city in the city.
Okay, can it be done?"
He Wenwen hesitated for a moment, but when he glanced at the soldiers gathering behind him, he immediately nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I'll go back and take the people."
Xu Shiying nodded and waved, and ten soldiers immediately rushed forward and returned to the city with the sweaty congratulatory documents.
As soon as the person left, Xu Dalang sat for a while, dazed for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and then got up. After getting up, he did not wear a helmet, but took a pair of belts from the case and tied it to his forehead.
, then he took a small yellow flower from his hand and pinned it on the belt next to his ear.
At this point, Xu Shiying just turned around and stood with his hands behind his hands in the afternoon sun.
After a while, hundreds of soldiers who had planted small yellow flowers on the roadside in autumn gathered neatly. The confidants were about to say something, but Xu Dalang waved his hand to reject him. The latter immediately got on his horse and walked a dozen steps in front of the soldiers.
Simply rein in your horse and speak calmly:
"Everyone, if something goes wrong today, follow me to take down Baima City!"
The soldiers below shouted in unison, and dozens of cavalry led the way to protect Xu Shiying. Hundreds of soldiers immediately lined up behind, armed with weapons, and followed closely.
Most of the soldiers under Xu Dalang's command came from his own family. They were personally trained in military arts about two or three years ago. After three expeditions to Dongyi, they repeatedly obtained a large number of regular army ordnance and equipment. Now they still find a way to wear military uniforms on the county.
The skin of the soldiers is really nothing more than a real elite army, with strict discipline and actions like the wind.
This seems to be in line with Xu Dalang's style. He came from a powerful family, and he did have some vision, limited structure, and even some hypocrisy and calculations, but he could not conceal his serious talent and prowess.
Moreover, almost inexplicably, when Xu Shiying led these hundreds of soldiers majestically along the road to the north gate of Baima City, even he himself felt a little dazed... He began to question himself, those self-righteous calculations.
Wouldn't it be too ridiculous? If you can make progress openly, why do you have to calculate and calculate?
Why can't he be an upright hero like his name? Holding hundreds of heroes and marching across the world with thousands of armies?
No, I still can't be an upright hero, because when I was young, in order to maintain the power of my family, I took to the so-called underworld, played with knives, and did all kinds of illegal things... Even by the lowest standards, I am still a criminal.
Wandering thief.
This idea inexplicably made Xu Dalang look a little melancholy and sad on this critical day.
The north gate was unobstructed. The North Gate team leader who had previously tried to win over did not show any signs of repetition. Instead, he stood in the doorway wearing a yellow flower and allowed Xu Dalang to lead his troops through the gate... The whole process was just like a normal deployment of troops.
.
Not only that, when entering the city and turning south at the first crossroads towards the military city, Guo Jingke and Zhai Kuan, who had been waiting for a long time, also led a hundred cavalry each to greet them from the other two roads and gathered together at one place.
This is the backup plan prepared before. Once the city is closed, it will immediately attack from both inside and outside.
"Has Li Tingwen been looking for you?" Xu Dalang came back from his strange thoughts and asked Zhai Kuan.
"No." Zhai Kuan, who was riding on the horse, responded seriously. "I didn't see anyone. But I left an ambush in the house. Where are the crossbows? There are also fishing nets and wet quilts. Even if it's a street tiger,
All the people are gone, and they will suffer a big loss!"
Xu Dalang nodded.
At this time, on the noisy street, suddenly a pancake seller hurried over carrying a pole, and then boldly asked: "Xu Dalang, Second Master Zhai, are you going to cause trouble?"
Xu Dalang was stunned for a moment, then smiled quickly: "What are you talking about? Why don't you go home quickly? We are here to catch a thief who is on the blacklist on the order of the commander!"
The seller of cooking cakes was greatly disappointed, but instead of hurriedly closing up his stall and going home like the others, he just put down his pole and stood by the street blankly.
This made Xu Shiying glance at this man again... He was sure that he did not know this man, and he was definitely not a Taoist figure, because this man's joints were too thick, and the calluses caused by physical labor were too thick.
This is an ordinary local man selling cooking cakes.
Xu Dalang has always had experience in recognizing people.
Putting aside the strange emotions brought about by this person for the time being, Xu Dalang, wearing a small yellow flower, came to the military city, and then once again led his troops in grandly to report the news to him. There was more than one person, and a team member turned back early after reporting the news, and controlled
He stopped at the main entrance of the military city, and then led a total of seventy or eighty people to join the queue and headed straight to the central lobby.
The whole process was like searching for something.
Of course, everything came to an end as a matter of course. Dou Qi quickly led the people back to the main hall, while Xu Shiying calmly ordered like the master of a military camp here, sealing off all the doors and surrounding the main hall.
He then dismounted and led the crowd into the hall on foot.
"Captain Dou is a descendant of a wealthy family in Guanxi, why don't you raise your sword and fight bravely?" Xu Dalang asked seriously. "I just finished setting up the crossbow outside, but I was actually waiting for a while."
Dou Qi, who was holding his sword, turned back to look at his young master. He had no doubt that as long as his young master gave the order, even if they were destined to die without a burial place, the dozen or so private soldiers of the Dou family here would still risk everything and let them go.
These Guandong thieves have to pay the price. And if possible, he can try to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, cooperate with the young master, and take down a little thief leader as a hostage. By then, I don’t expect to be able to really stop this rebellion, at least I can cooperate with others
Let's talk in exchange for the young master and young lady to return to Kansai.
Didn't it mean that the two big thieves had served as court officials in the capital? We can always discuss it, right?
Yes, this is a feasible plan.
However, Dou, who had been the most enthusiastic at the banquet, did not give the order. Instead, he looked at the other party's ears and asked back from the seat: "So, is Xu Dalang really going to be a thief? Is the whole city going to be a thief?"
This is a very simple and normal nonsense.
But Xu Shiying's eyes became inexplicably weird: "Your Excellency is an official, and we are thieves? Yes or no?"
"Of course." Dou Bing was inexplicably flustered.
"But you are officials and we are thieves?" Xu Shiying asked sincerely. "Who decides the number of officials and thieves?"
Dou did not expect that Xu Dalang, who was always known for his ability, would engage in such a verbal argument like a scholar, but since he asked, it showed that there was still the possibility of a theory, so he was slightly relieved:
"Xu Dalang, it is up to the imperial court to decide whether officials and traitors are good or bad. There are one or two things wrong with the Wei Dynasty's annexation of the country, and it is also the only righteousness. Now that you are rebelling, do you want to bring out a Dong Qi descendant with a surname of Gao? Dong Qi?
Qi and the one with the surname Gao are worse, okay? And if there is no one with the surname Gao, aren't you just pure thieves? Just thieves, no matter how big the trouble is, what future do you have?"
Xu Shiying thought for a moment and nodded: "Your Excellency is absolutely right."
Zhai Kuan, who was already impatient, and Guo Jingke, who had always been calm, looked at each other in surprise at the same time. The flower arranging officer who followed and the accompanying family members were also surprised.
"If so..." Dou Bing was overjoyed.
"But if that's the case, why do you, as officials, torture the local people, and we, as thieves, seem to be trying to save the people from the fire?" As he said this, Xu Shiying suddenly exhaled, and then the immortality essence on his body
His anger coiled up from his waist like a giant green python with huge horns slowly coming out of its hole. "To be honest with you, there are two kinds of officials and thieves. I, Xu Da, would rather be a living thief than a retarded civilian official!"
"
There was silence in the hall, as Guo, Zhai and others came to look.
Dou Qi and Dou Bing also stared blankly at each other's vitality that was like a living thing, and then their faces turned pale.
The next moment, just as the giant python stretched out Xu Shiying's arm to hold the knife in his waist, Dou Qi suddenly turned around and glanced at Dou Bing, then swooped forward, drew out the knife like lightning, and cut off the knife at the same time.
Jiang Zhenqi rolled up and struck Xu Shiying on the shoulder.
But Xu Shiying was faster than him. He just raised his hand and cut with a knife, and he blocked it easily. At the same time, a strong and vigorous vitality of immortality rolled around the saber, and it easily bypassed the opponent's blade like a python attached to the knife.
Duanjiang Zhenqi took advantage of the situation and rolled it hard on the opponent's arm.
With just one roll, Dou Qi's arm was broken, the weapon fell out of his hand, and he staggered backward for a moment.
Around Guo Zhai and below, many Daihua officers and soldiers did not hesitate, each drew his sword and slashed wildly, and killed more than ten Dou family soldiers in the tent. The few who did not die on the spot were all killed.
.
How could there be no blood?
Especially when facing the Guanlong people.
Dou Fang was stabbed four or five times, and there was a fatal wound on his neck. He still had a breath of life. He was dragged to Xu Dalang like a piece of rag. Obviously, Xu Shiying was asked to personally decide how to deal with it...
Corpse, hanging head on horseback, or hanging head on top of the city?
"Li Tingwen probably sold you and Zhou Juncheng and escaped, and your family general." Xu Dalang knelt down, holding the knife in one hand and pressing the other's wound with the other and laughed. "It must have been the family's advice, for fear that you would...
My beloved wife was in the city, but she surrendered for a while, ruining the name of the Dou family..."
"My wife... is innocent... she is Bai's daughter... let her go..." Dou Feng pressed his wound and tried his best, but he still missed his wife.
To be continued...
