Hawking stretched himself. The wound on his shoulder was very painful. He turned around and saw that there was still blood oozing out, so he did not dare to move. Last night was too unlucky. It was obviously over, but he was shot by someone from behind.
Shoulder. If Gou Tianming hadn't stopped him, Hawking could have torn the guy who shot the cold arrow into pieces.
"Xiao Jinzi, are you awake?" Gou Tianming called at the door, got in without asking permission, and put down the rice bowl in his hand: "This is specially made for you, the minced meat is very fragrant!"
He glanced at the injury on Hawking's shoulder: "Sir, he said it's not a big problem. Fortunately, that guy's archery skills are not very good. He just wandered in without cleaning up. This is a lesson that we must remember in the future."
Huo Jin rolled his eyes while drinking the minced meat: "Okay, my elder brother taught me a lesson yesterday, and you still want to come, I understand! By the way, I wonder if the prefects believe it was bandits who did it?"
Gou Tianming smiled: "Sir, if there is no problem, then there must be no problem. With so many soldiers and armor, our county soldiers are not afraid of running out of equipment."
"Yes! It's just that it's a bit uncomfortable not to be able to send it out right away. All the good-looking county soldiers are unarmed. What kind of soldiers are they? The imperial court is so poor that it still wants to fight the Huns, hey!"
"Eat your minced meat! We are young and have a lot of worries. We will do whatever the teacher says. When the time comes, we will definitely make all these soldiers and armors ours!"
Sima Xiangru and Li Cheng also walked in. In yesterday's raid, their losses were not small. Not only a dozen were killed, but seventy or eighty were injured. It's hard for these people to show up during this period.
, Sima Xiangru placed them all in a corner of the barracks, and asked the lame third son to take good care of them.
Glancing at the wounded soldiers beside Hawking, Sima Xiangru asked the lame third son: "How is it? Do you still need a medical officer? The captain ordered that all the rules of the wounded soldier camp must be followed according to his method, and must not
If there is even the slightest mistake, just tell me if there is anything missing.”
The lame third son nodded, he was very pleased. Compared with the original wounded barracks, the current wounded barracks is simply heaven and earth. After setting up the wounded barracks according to Su Ren's rules, the lame third son sighed, if he could lie down
How nice it would be to be in such a wounded barracks, at least he wouldn't become the cripple he is now.
Li Cheng clicked his tongue twice and screamed strangely: "The captain's actions are indeed extraordinary. With such a wounded barracks, the soldiers have no worries, how can they not die to the death!"
Seeing that several people ignored him, Hawking said directly: "Xiao Sanzi, when can I go out? People will die if I stay here for a day!"
The lame third son shook his head: "It will take at least three to five days. When your wound stops bleeding, you can go out. You open the wound every day. Others think that our craftsmanship in the wounded barracks is not good!"
The Third Lame Son is now the most trustworthy person in the logistics camp after Sima Xiangru. Even if Su Ren arrives at the logistics camp, the Third Lame Son has to listen to what he says, let alone Huo Jin. After listening to the Third Lame Son,
Hawking sighed: "Well, it's no longer possible. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. I can't bear it!"
"Hahaha..." The wounded barracks was filled with laughter.
Su Ren returned to the military camp and sat down on a chair. Huang Shisan quickly handed over the tea, and then stood behind Su Ren holding his big ax.
Sima Xiangru asked: "How is it? What did the prefect say?"
Su Ren sighed: "The two guys Gou Tianming and Huo Jin were too cruel. There were more than a hundred guards and drivers, but not a single one was alive. Except for the one they brought back, all the others were killed. The Liu family
It was like hell on earth. I didn’t dare to look at it after just one look.”
Li Cheng smiled: "This is like the behavior of bandits. If we show mercy, people may doubt us."
Su Ren waved his hand: "Forget it, this matter is over. The eunuch has given an order to clear out all the bandits and bandits in Shu County. The surrounding area of Chengdu belongs to us. It's good to clear out these people to avoid harming the people. Li Sima, you
I am most familiar with Chengdu, so I will leave it to you to find out the situation of those bandits."
"Here! I understand!"
"Brother Sima, use some of the armor we got back to arm our original guards first. Since we want to wipe out the bandits, we can't do it without armor. In addition, as long as there is a fight, our armor can be used one by one.
Take out all the ordered ones, and once the bandits around Chengdu are exterminated, those soldiers will be ours."
Sima Xiangru smiled and nodded: "Is this called concealing the truth?"
"Why doesn't it sound like a good thing to me?"
"Hehehe..."
Su Ren left the prefect's residence, and Tang Meng also left. As soon as he returned home and entered, the housekeeper whispered a few words in his ear. Tang Meng frowned: "What is he here for?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "I am very anxious, but I don't say anything about it. I said I would wait until the captain comes back."
"Haha, it's too late to think of me now!" Tang Meng thought for a while: "Go tell him, just say I didn't come back!"
"Captain Tang, I've been waiting for you!" As soon as Tang Meng finished speaking, Zhuo Wangsun came out of the lobby door and came towards him while saluting: "Captain Tang, please save me! If Captain Tang doesn't save your life,
, my Zhuo family is finished!"
Zhuo Wangsun almost knelt down to Tang Meng. Tang Meng quickly supported him: "What Shopkeeper Zhuo said, why do I become more and more confused the more I listen to it?"
"Captain Tang, let's not say any polite words. I heard that bandits robbed a group of soldiers in Liujia'ao in the east of the city. Is this happening?"
"How did Shopkeeper Zhuo know?"
"Don't worry about how I know it. With such a large group of soldiers, someone will definitely put it on my head. In Shu, I am the only one in the Zhuo family who smelt iron and make soldiers. But I can swear to God, those soldiers are as good as us."
The Zhuo family has nothing to do with it!"
Tang Meng once again stopped Zhuo Wangsun, who was about to kneel down, and said, "Don't be like this, Shopkeeper Zhuo, no one said that those soldiers are related to your Zhuo family!" With a wink to the housekeeper, the two of them lifted Zhuo Wangsun and entered the house.
The guests and the host sat down, and Tang Meng sighed: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhuo. Before this matter is clarified, no one will say that those things belong to your Zhuo family. However, I would like to advise you that you are in Shu County, and the iron smelting industry is as big as the Zhuo family."
It’s unjustifiable that we can’t provide enough armor to the soldiers of Shu County! If Shopkeeper Zhuo continues to fight Su Xiaowei regardless of the overall situation, no one knows what the result will be.”
Zhuo Wangsun felt cold: "This...!"
"Haha, I'm just talking. As for what Shopkeeper Zhuo does, it's all up to Shopkeeper Zhuo himself!" Tang Meng looked at the stunned Zhuo Wangsun: "Okay, I've said what I should say. Shopkeeper Zhuo goes back and thinks about it.
The prefect has issued an order to clear out the mountain bandits in Shu County, but the county soldiers are insufficient, so it will be very difficult to do this!"
Zhuo Wangsun returned home in a daze, and the housekeeper helped Zhuo Wangsun get out of the carriage. The housekeeper saw what happened at Tang Meng's house. He knew very well how Zhuo Wangsun behaved and how Tang Meng took advantage of the situation.
He directly sent Zhuo Wangsun back to his bedroom and poured a glass of water for Zhuo Wangsun: "Master, do you want to do as Tang Meng said first, or else..."
"Hmph!" Zhuo Wangsun suddenly sat up: "It's not that easy. You want us to take the initiative to send it there. There is no door. Go and find out immediately which copycat took our goods. I always feel that there is something in between.
The problem is, even if those small cottages give them the courage, they won’t dare to rob our goods!”
The butler's spirit was lifted: "Okay, I'll go check it out right away!"
The news that Chengdu County soldiers suddenly armed 500 people quickly spread among the upper class in Chengdu. People who know the whole thing can guess something with a little thought. However, no one dares to say, pointing out
The matter of soldiers turning into bandits is a big deal. Moreover, Su Ren had long ago said that he would bring the weapons made by Yelang and Yuanshan back to Chengdu and arm the county soldiers. Now that he talks about his speculation, it is definitely an act that will attract people's hatred.
The housekeeper of the Zhuo Mansion lowered his head and glanced at the door first. He saw Zhuo Wangsun lying on the couch drinking water, then he came in quietly and stood aside without saying a word.
Zhuo Wangsun took a look, waved his hand to signal all the servants and servants to go out, and then asked: "How is it? Do you have any clues?"
The steward shook his head: "I've already asked, but those bandits don't have the guts to touch our goods."
"That's weird. Could those things grow wings and fly?"
The housekeeper thought for a long time and then said timidly: "Although no bandit dares to touch our things, but..."
"But what? Tell me!"
"There is a story circulating in the city that the county soldiers suddenly armed themselves with 500 people, and the armors are very similar to the ones we lost. Some even have the unique marks of our Zhuo family's workshop on them!"
"Su Ren?"
The housekeeper didn't dare to answer, and stood aside submissively, letting Zhuo Wangsun think slowly. The expression on Zhuo Wangsun's face changed strangely, and he suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha..., okay! Oops, I've been looking for a long time,
I thought something went wrong, but in the end it fell on Su Ren. Su Ren really took care of us. I almost thought he had forgotten us. I didn't expect that he had gone through such a long journey just for our sake.
Armor!"
Zhuo Wangsun laughed very loudly and spoke very loudly. The servants outside the door heard clearly. The steward asked: "Master, what should we do now?"
Zhuo Wangsun smiled helplessly and said: "What else can we do? Those soldiers have been delivered and have nothing to do with us. I am happy today. I want to go have a drink and ask someone to open the door. I want to go to my daughter's wine shop to have a drink!"
"Ah!" The housekeeper was stunned.
"What? Isn't it possible?" Zhuo Wangsun glared at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said: "The wine shop is Su Ren's property. Although the second lady is in charge, she is still Su Ren's person. If the owner goes like this, wouldn't he be showing weakness to Su Ren?"
"Nonsense!" Zhuo Wangsun was slightly angry: "Su Ren has given the wine shop to my daughter and son-in-law, so it has nothing to do with Su Ren. From today on, my daughter is still my daughter, and my son-in-law is my son-in-law. It has nothing to do with anyone else. It doesn't matter.
It’s good to capture those soldiers and armor so that we don’t have to be on guard all day long. As for whether they can take them back, that’s their business. What does it have to do with us? Go quickly!”
The housekeeper nodded quickly and hurriedly asked someone to open the door and tidy up the deserted front yard. From this moment on, the Zhuo family seemed to be about to change! (To be continued)
