Lengjun was very cool, not like a general, but like a swordsman. He stood at the gate, not yelling crazy words like "Who dares to fight me", just stood there quietly. The breeze blew the monk's robe, and a pair of eyes could actually shine. Light comes.
"This kid dares to be alone, he is seeking death!" Liu Wen laughed strangely: "Catch him, catch him and give him a big reward!"
No one moved, and the torches were fluttering wildly in the night wind. On one side were hundreds of soldiers, and on the other side was a lone man, standing quietly a dozen steps apart.
Hou Jian took a step forward: "Master Leng, listen to my advice and put down your sword. I won't embarrass you. I'm not here tonight for you. It's better for you not to wade into the muddy water!"
The cold tone was cold: "I would also like to advise the county captain, if you do this, you are rebelling. Turn around and stop, so as not to be ridiculed by others!"
"Haha! Rebellion? The county captain led the garrison to arrest the bandits, how can it be called a rebellion? Everyone knows that Su Ren took in the bandits, so what he did was called a rebellion!"
"Hey! It's useless to talk more. If you want to enter my Laojun Temple, you have to defeat me. Come on!"
"Come on, come on! What are you talking about with him?" Liu Wen kept urging. If he hadn't been incompetent in martial arts, he would have rushed up long ago.
Hou Jian also sighed: "In this case, Master Leng, don't blame me for being rude. Archers are ready! The sword and shield bearers are in front, and the halberd men are behind. Attack Laojun Temple. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy." !”
"Here!"
With a roar, the officers and soldiers began to prepare. According to Hou Jian's order, each team retreated and advanced. In the blink of an eye, they were in formation. With another shout, they were about to rush into Laojun Temple.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Su Ren held up his robe and held a torch, and hurried out of Laojun Temple. There was still Han water on his forehead, and the torch illuminated him clearly.
"Why did we start fighting like this! Isn't it just for me? County Lieutenant Hou, we are business partners after all. We will fall out as soon as we fall out. You are too unethical. If I had known this, I would have cooperated with Liu County Cheng. It would be great to give 50,000 yuan a month to Liu County Cheng."
"What? Fifty thousand dollars!" Only then did Liu Wen realize how big Su Ren's business was. He went to Yelang once and built a small shop in Yelang. He gave Hou Jian 50,000 dollars every month. , not counting the portion given to Chang Shi and himself.
Hou Jian glared at Liu Wen and said to Su Ren: "Business is business, business is business, public and private are separated. It is true that we cooperate, but I am also a county lieutenant of the imperial court. It is my responsibility to arrest the thieves. Mr. Su colluded with the thieves , the evidence is conclusive, and I hope that you, sir, will give up unnecessary resistance and surrender."
"Oh! That's true. Since we want to arrest someone, may I ask the county lieutenant if he has arrest documents? As long as the county lieutenant takes it out, we will surrender immediately. No one is willing to use guns and knives. Death and injury are not good after all!"
Of course Liu Wen knew what their situation was. Without waiting for Hou Jian to answer, he took the lead and shouted: "What are you talking about with him? What can I do if I rush into Lao Jun to see what he can do? You can persuade him with words, and there is no need to bring so many people with you in the middle of the night. People come here to drink the wind!"
Su Ren smiled: "So it seems that neither Hou Xianwei nor Liu Xiancheng has any arrest documents, so they can be regarded as using weapons without authorization? I remember that I was still the fifth official of the imperial court. Even if there were arrest documents, they couldn't surround me like this. Watch it?"
"Hou Jian! Can you tell him?" Liu Wen was angry: "Stop dreaming. There has been no way out since you and I left the city. Don't think about spinning around and making excuses. It's useless. Take Laojun Temple first.
Let’s go back and take care of the usual things, this warm water will be our world! Let’s do it!”
Hou Jian couldn't make up his mind. In his opinion, Liu Wen and his son had gone crazy. What would happen if they occupied Wenshui? Would Yelang really help him? Would Liu An help him? How could the prefect of Shu County let his subordinates behave like this?
, not to mention that the great order is in Chengdu. It will end in ashes in an instant.
Everything is easy to talk about without taking action, and the dead idlers will be treated as a fight. If his soldiers conflict with Su Ren, he will have no way out as Liu Wen said.
"Shut your stinky mouth!" Hou Jian turned around fiercely, his eyes widening. Liu Wen saw murderous intent in it and quickly closed his mouth.
Hou Jian took a deep breath: "Mr. Su can indeed see far, but now I am riding a tiger and cannot get off, so I have to..."
"No, no, no..." Su Ren interrupted Hou Jian: "The matter has not reached the terrible point mentioned by the county lieutenant. The Liu family's rebellion has been confirmed. The Liu family is completely dead without a burial place, but the county lieutenant Hou
You are different. You lead troops to capture thieves. As long as you can distinguish who is a thief and who is a good guy, capturing them will be a great achievement. I can testify to this that the Hou County Lieutenant has nothing to do with the Liu family.
"
"Speaking of which, brother Hou, what benefits can you get from following the Liu family? When the Liu family owned most of Wenshui, did they ever give you some? Even they have to get involved in private salt matters. Brother Hou has worked hard in Wenshui these years.
With the Liu family following their lead, who do you think you are now? You are just a dog of the Liu family. They pushed you forward when they used you. Now they are about to die and they want to drag you to be buried with you. You are a fool to do so.
!”
"Brother Hou, you can think about it, what will happen if the Wenshui family disappears? Chang Shi told me a few days ago that he is going to be promoted. With the interests of the few of us, it shouldn't be a big deal for him to recommend you to the court as Wenshui County Magistrate.
Question! You have become Wenshui County Magistrate. The Liu family is finished. Wenshui is your world. How much income does our trade route bring every year? You are the county magistrate while running the trade route. This is what you should have, Brother Hou.
life!"
"Su Ren!" Liu Wen really couldn't listen anymore. He was moved by these words. From Hou Jian's face, he could see that Hou Jian was a little shaken, and he quickly said: "Hou Jian, you can't listen to him.
He just wants to control you and control the whole Wenshui. This person is not a good person. He is the reincarnation of a monster and specializes in deceiving people. We have come to this point and can only continue to go down. There is no turning back. There will be a bright future if you dare to turn back.
A dead end!"
"Hou Jian! Listen to me, as long as Su Ren stays in Wenshui, you will never be able to get ahead. Kill him! Only by killing him will Wenshui return to our hands. I promise you that we will wait for the common things to happen.
When you leave office, I will make you the magistrate of Wenshui County!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed: "You have to rebuild the Dian Kingdom before you give Brother Hou a county magistrate. Isn't this too stingy?"
Hou Jian felt strange in his heart. He was a little embarrassed. He could tell that what Su Ren said was very feasible and not difficult to implement. According to what Su Ren said, he would definitely live like a god in this life.
days. However, deep down in his heart, he could not completely let go of his relationship with the Liu family. Several generations had worked hard for that dream. His father died in this matter. How could he let him go so easily?
Liu Wen rushed to Hou Jian and slapped Hou Jian in the face: "Wake up! Listen to me, we are the children of the Dian Kingdom. We will die for the restoration of the country without even frowning. This kid's rhetoric is
If I want you to withdraw your troops, I have already contacted Yelang and Huainan. As long as we can hold on for three days, reinforcements from these two places will arrive!"
"Don't listen to that kid, kill him! If you kill him, the restoration of the country will be realized. Our ancestors are watching from the sky, and we must not let them down! Do you still remember what your father said to you before he died? He
Let you restore the country! If you compromise at this time, how will you see your father again after death? "
Hou Jian took a deep breath, his face was burning with pain, looked at the eager Liu Wen, and nodded heavily: "It's okay, I know what to do!"
Su Ren sighed: "It seems that you are really stubborn. Let me show you something good, and then think about whether to attack our Laojun Temple!"
He threw the torch in front of him. A puff of black smoke immediately rose, and a fiery snake circled on the ground and rushed towards the soldier position where he had just stood. It was so fast that no one could
Unexpectedly, the soldiers hurriedly fled. The fire snake passed through the ranks of soldiers and burrowed into the grass behind it.
"Boom!" A loud noise sounded in the grass, and the air wave came out of the grass, knocking down the archers standing at the back of the team. The sound of panic was endless, and several of them were hit in the back by flying stones.
Blood flowed.
"What is this? What happened?" Liu Wen looked at the grass not far away in horror. There was a pile of rocks there just now, but now it has turned into a deep pit.
"Did you see it? I don't want to fight with you. Laojun's temple is full of these things. As long as I set fire to it, everyone will ascend to heaven!"
Su Ren said it in an understatement, but the hair on the head stood on end. Hu Ji quickly looked around, desperately looking for the thing that Su Ren said could fly sand and rocks.
Hou Jian snorted coldly: "Who are you lying to? Do you think a little trick can scare us?"
"Believe it or not, come in if you can!" After saying that, Su Ren pulled Leng Jun and Hu Ji into Laojun Temple and closed the door with a bang.
Hu Ji swallowed: "Sir, what is that thing? A fire can fly sand and rocks. Are you a god?"
"What god? That's called gunpowder. I got it back from Yelang. I just got that little bit to scare them!"
"gunpowder?"
"It's a mixture of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal in proportion. It's flammable and will explode if placed in a confined space." Hu Ji was confused. Su Ren waved his hand: "Forget it, you won't do it even after I told you.
Understand, go and let everyone prepare, otherwise those guys outside the door will rush in!"
Leng Jun shook his head and smiled: "You are lying again."
"This is called a war that never tires of deceit. What kind of deception is this? Can you say something nice?"
"I think Liu Wen is right. You are the reincarnated monster. That moment just now really shocked me. If you were buried under Laojun Temple, I would be scared just thinking about it." (To be continued)
