In the backyard, Su Ren was drinking sobering soup while shaking his groggy head and looking at the old shopkeeper: "What medicine did you use? I just took a sip and why am I still dizzy!"
The old shopkeeper smiled and did not answer, still busy with his own affairs.
The Tuxian County Lieutenant was tied into a rice dumpling and brought to Su Ren. Huo Jin kicked him in the crook of the leg, and the Tuxian County Lieutenant came to eat shit and lay down at Su Ren's feet.
"This guy actually hid under the chair, looking at his head but not his buttocks, like a pheasant!" Su Ren chuckled: "At that time, I wanted to stab him in the butthole with a sword, so that he would remember this day for the rest of his life."
Su Ren waved his hand, interrupted Huo Jin's boring nonsense, helped Tuxian County Lieutenant up, and untied him with his own hands. Tuxian County Lieutenant smiled all over his face and was very cooperative: "Su Bingcao has done a great job in solving the rebellion in Shu County in one fell swoop. From now on,
From today onwards, I will look after Su Bingcao."
Su Ren didn't answer, but poured a cup of tea for Tuxian County Lieutenant, and only gestured with his eyes. Tuxian County Lieutenant quickly picked up the tea cup and drank it in one sip. He felt something was wrong after he drank it in his mouth, but he didn't dare
I spit it out and my face turned red and my neck became thick from holding it in.
"Tell me! Who told you that I want to rectify the county soldiers? I only said this once in front of the prefect, and no one else in the entire Shu County knows about it."
"Ah!" Tuxian County Lieutenant opened his mouth quickly and gasped for air. The tea was too hot and his tongue was numb: "It's an old man. I didn't know him before. At noon today, after Bing Cao left, he came and asked us
Beware of Bingcao, and he also said..."
"What else are you talking about? Say it quickly!" Huo Jin raised his hand and placed the sword on the neck of the captain of Tu County.
"He also said that if we lead our troops to attack Chengdu, there will be more benefits then!"
"Haha, this old man is telling the truth! If you really attack Chengdu, there will indeed be many benefits. At least the hundreds of shops in this city will have enough stuff for you to last ten lifetimes!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! Even if the soldiers are here, even if we have ten more courages, we won't dare!"
"Old man? An old man that no one has ever seen before?" Su Ren said to himself.
The Tuxian County Lieutenant nodded quickly: "He's just an old man with a dead face. He said he was here to save us. He also said that Bing Cao was ruthless. Hey! If I had known now, I should have listened to that old man!"
"Huh?" Huang Shisan snorted coldly, and the Tu County captain was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized repeatedly.
Su Ren waved his hand, and two guards came and took Tuxian County Lieutenant down. Tuxian County Lieutenant shouted: "Su Bingcao, spare your life! Spare your life..."
Liu Gao thought for a while and said to Su Ren: "Listening to what that guy said, I guess that old man should be Hou Jian's old servant!"
"Hour Si?"
Liu Gao nodded: "Now that Hou Jian has returned to Chengdu, Hou Si must have come back with him. As Meng Wei said, after Meng Ji's death, the Meng family is actually in the hands of Hou Jian. If they want to move us, use these
County soldiers are the best way. Only when chaos breaks out in Chengdu will Hou Jian have a chance! It's a pity that they didn't expect that we would suddenly take action!"
Su Ren didn't wait for Liu Gao to finish his words, and slapped his thigh: "It's bad. I fell into Hou Jian's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. He immediately sent someone with the governor's comfort order to the county army camp! At this time, those counties
The soldiers cannot be in chaos!"
Before he finished speaking, bursts of shouts of killing exploded in the sky over Chengdu. The city of Chengdu, which was quiet at night, suddenly became boiling. People who were sleeping were awakened by the sound and opened their doors one after another to see what happened.
A fast horse galloped down the street on the stone road. When he arrived at the door of Cuixiang Tower, the knight jumped off his horse and ran inside, shouting: "Sir, something big has happened!"
"Shi Bao! Didn't I ask you to watch at the city gate?" Hawking has fallen in love with this exciting young man since he first saw Shi Bao. Shi Bao is the only son of the old fox, half a year younger than Hawking.
In your Su family, they are the only two who play best.
Shi Bao ignored Huo Jin and said to Su Ren: "Sir, the county soldiers outside the city are in trouble. Many people are rushing towards the city gate!"
"how many people?"
Shi Bao shook his head: "There are many, there are torches everywhere! I can't see exactly how many there are!"
The tense atmosphere made everyone clench their fists, and Hawking shouted: "Brother, why are you hesitating? Fight with those county soldiers. Their school captain and county captain are in our hands. Let these guys go to the top of the city and see."
Do those county soldiers still dare to attack the city?"
Su Ren shook his head: "It's useless! Those county soldiers have been controlled by Hou Jian. Hou Jian sent these officers into the city just to buy him time to control the county soldiers!"
"Damn it, Hou Jian, this insidious villain, really should have been hacked to death with a sword!"
"It's too late now! Gather your troops immediately and rush to the south gate. If you can't stop the first wave of attacks from the county soldiers, the city of Chengdu will not be able to defend itself!" Su Ren immediately ordered: "Old Huang will lead the people first.
Go to the Meng family and control the people of the Meng family so that they don't cooperate with each other. Fortunately, it's night and the city gates are closed. We may not lose in defending the city!"
"Promise!" Huang Shisan agreed and hurriedly gathered people to go to Meng Mansion.
Hou Jian took a deep breath. For so many months, he has been living in the shadow of Su Ren. In Wenshui, Su Ren didn't know what happened, and his five hundred county soldiers were frightened. In Zhanlong Gorge, a burst of fire
Niu Zhen, and let the bandits he had worked so hard to gather die cleanly. Hou Jian wanted to die at that time, and he had the idea that God deliberately sent Su Ren to torture him. Fortunately, Hou Si saved him at the critical moment.
.
Looking at the county soldiers in front of him, Hou Jian was still a little nervous. The shadow Su Ren had cast on him was so terrible that even though he was now commanding thousands of people, he still couldn't cheer up.
"Hou Si, do you think we can make it this time?"
Hou Si sat on the horse dully and said nothing.
Hou Jian laughed self-deprecatingly: "We have worked so hard to set up this trap. If it doesn't work, we really can't stay in Shuzhong anymore. We should have listened to my adoptive father and brought Liu Jun to Huainan, so as not to let Liu Jun go to Huainan."
Even if the Liu family has no descendants, we will not end up in such a situation."
Hou Si still said nothing, looking towards the city of Chengdu in front of him.
Meng Wei, who was bruised and swollen, glanced at Hou Jian secretly: "Chengdu is a tall city and we don't have any siege weapons. I heard that Su Ren has gathered the guards of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce and contacted many servants. With just our few people
Do you really want to attack Chengdu?"
Hou Jian could talk nicely to Hou Si, but he never had a good impression of Meng Wei. After learning that Meng Wei actually reported the matter, he was naturally not polite and did not kill him because of Meng Liu's face.
Hou Jian glanced at Meng Wei contemptuously: "Who said we are going to attack the city? As long as Su Ren agrees to our conditions, we will withdraw our troops immediately!"
"Ah! Withdraw the troops! Where can we go with the few troops we have? Tang Meng is leading his troops to return for reinforcements. As long as Su Ren persists until dawn the next day, Tang Meng will be able to come back, and we will be dead! Besides..."
"Shut up!" Hou Si said coldly: "If you hadn't secretly told Su Ren about Meng Ji's plan, Meng Ji would have been beaten by Su Ren so quickly and couldn't fight back? What are you trying to do this time?
The city of Chengdu was once again besieged by soldiers, and they had already arrived at the city walls. Although the officials from the Yamen and the guards from the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce had gone to the city to defend themselves, people in Chengdu were still in panic. There were too many county soldiers, and their own defensive strength was too large.
If you are small, you can't fight this battle.
Chang Shi was a little nervous. He had never encountered such a thing. Perhaps Chang Shi was lucky. During the years when he was the magistrate of Wenshui County, even the Nanman people did not come to Wenshui. Looking at the densely packed torches under the city, Chang Shi asked Wen Dang:
"Teacher, what should I do? Send someone for help?"
Wen Dang sighed: "Now that the four gates are surrounded, who can get out? Even if they can get out, who can ask for help? Even if Bajun, the closest country to us, sends troops, it will take three to five days."
"What should we do? Why don't we mobilize the people to defend the city!" Chang Shi came up with another idea.
"You don't think the chaos is enough?" Wen Dang glanced at Chang Shi angrily: "Let's see first, Zi Heng will definitely be able to think of a solution."
A horse ran out from the county soldiers, covered with armor from head to toe, and could reach a stone's throw away. The knight quickly reined in the horse, and the horse spun around twice before stopping. The knight faced the Chengdu City Headquarters.
He shouted: "Listen to those in the city, Wenshui Hou County Lieutenant asked Su Bingcao to come out of the city to speak. I will give you a stick of incense and time to think about it. If you don't dare to come out, we will attack the city!"
Huo Jin was furious and shouted towards the city: "Let Hou Jian come in! A bunch of idiots are rebelling. I think you are tired of living!"
The man at the bottom of the city did not show any weakness: "Su Ren attacked my school captain secretly. His life and death are still unknown. The court went back on his word. You forced all of this!"
"Stop talking nonsense here..."
Hawking and the knight began to scold each other. The louder the scolding became, the more filthy the words came out of their mouths. Both the people above and below the city found it uncomfortable to hear them.
Su Ren had a look of disdain on his face, covering his ears with his hands, and said to Su Kai beside him: "I heard that your archery skills are very good, but I don't know if you can kill that person with this arrow. These dirty words are really unbearable."
.”
Su Kai rolled his eyes, took the bow from behind and said, "In order not to listen to filthy words, you have to kill someone?"
"I am a good person. I have never killed anyone. Those who died were all done by you! Besides, is it possible that you want to kill Xiao Jinzi because you don't listen to filthy words?"
Su Kai had already put the arrow on the bowstring, turned his head and glanced at Hawking who was scolding vigorously, and shook his head: "I really can't do it!"
"That's right!" Su Ren nodded: "Besides, we can't lose our spirit at this time. Those county soldiers have lost their captains, county captains and military marquises. Sima, listening to Hou Jian's words is just a momentary fever. If
If you really knew how to attack the city, you would have attacked it long ago, and you wouldn’t wait until now! Just shoot with confidence and there won’t be any problems.”
"Whoosh!" As soon as Su Kai let go, the arrow flew away. A cold light came towards him, and the county soldier who was scolding Huo Jin yelled and tried to turn his horse's head to avoid it. Unfortunately, he was too late, and the long feathers
The arrow shot out of his chest. The knight staggered twice and fell off his horse.
"Hahaha..., good shot! Good death!" Hawking was overjoyed. (To be continued)
