"The order we have now is to control this place and no one is allowed to go out. As for why it is controlled, someone will naturally explain it to you when the time comes."
Standing not far away, Baihu, who was guarding Longyou Road, said calmly.
"No, if you don't give us an explanation today, we will go to Gong Changwei to ask for an explanation." The young man next to him waved his right hand flamboyantly and started shouting.
"No one is allowed to go out. If anyone breaks in, they will be killed on the spot. This is an order from above. We are all military households, so don't let me do anything." Baihu cast a sidelong glance at the young man.
As the family members of rebel soldiers, you are not sure how many days you can live, so why are you making such noise here?
Da da da.
A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from a distance, and Duan Tianming led the captain of Dongchang to arrive in front of Baihu in the blink of an eye.
"Is anyone going out privately?" Duan Tianming got off his horse and asked.
Seeing the people from Dongchang, hundreds of households looked respectful.
He hurriedly raised his fists and forced a smile on his face: "Sir, no one is going out."
Hearing that new troops were arriving, people in the house came out one after another.
One by one, they crowded behind the middle-aged man with a beard, muttering something in a low voice.
"Hey, are you their leader?" the middle-aged man shouted towards Duan Tianming?
Duan Tianming turned around, looked at the middle-aged man, raised his right hand and pointed at the tip of his nose: "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes, that's you." The middle-aged man said with a condescending look.
Duan Tianming couldn't help being amused.
Without comparison, you can't tell the difference. The military families in the west are in ragged clothes, sallow and thin, and covered in dust.
The military family members here are beautifully dressed, have fine skin and tender flesh, and there is not a trace of dust on the soles of their feet.
The most important thing is that when facing himself, he actually looks aloof.
Where do they get this sense of superiority?
Xiao Chen nodded and walked up with a smile: "Yes, I will be their head."
"Okay, since you are the leader, I will ask you on behalf of our five hundred households." The middle-aged man raised his head high, "What do you mean by controlling us like this? In the fields.
The crops are still waiting for us to weed them. If this year's harvest is delayed, can you afford it?"
"The crops in the field? You look like this, spotless, but you still care about the life and death of the crops in the field?" Duan Tianming snorted coldly.
"What are you talking about? We are also military families, and we will be working in the fields for a living from now on. Why don't we care about the crops in the fields?" Hearing that Duan Tianming doubted people like himself, the middle-aged man immediately became anxious.
"That's right, how do you talk?"
"Aren't you just wearing the uniform of a hundred households? Do you think you are some kind of high-ranking official? There are several of our relatives who have been promoted to Gong Changwei Baihu."
"Give us a reason for the control. Otherwise, we will rush out and go to Gong Changwei to argue."
The crowd behind the middle-aged man also started shouting.
Duan Tianming smiled faintly: "The people in the caravan are really confident. Do you know why I came here today?"
"It doesn't matter what you came here for. If you don't tell us the reason for controlling us, we will forcefully break through the defense."
The middle-aged man who took the lead straightened up and said fiercely.
"Forcibly break through the defense, come on, come on, which one of you will be the first to break through, let me see how you break through the defense."
Duan Tianming stepped aside and pointed at the soldiers guarding Longyou Road behind him who were controlling the area.
"Just rush, do you think we don't dare?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and looked at the young man beside him, "Go ahead."
"Me?" The young man hesitated.
"What are you afraid of, people who have forgotten who we are?"
"Okay." The young man responded, clenched his hands into fists, and walked towards the soldiers.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the young man.
They wanted to see what they could do if someone forced their way through the defense.
"Don't come here." The soldier yelled.
The red tassel gun in his hand suddenly stretched out and pointed directly at the young man's chest.
The young man trembled and stopped in place.
He turned around and looked at the middle-aged man with questioning eyes.
"What are you afraid of? He dares to really kill you? Go ahead."
Someone encouraged him, and the young man seemed to have really forgotten his fear. With his chest puffed out, the embroidered gown directly touched the soldier's gun tip.
"Stop and keep walking, don't say my men are ruthless." The soldier warned again.
"Come on, kill me and make a transparent hole in my chest." The young man said arrogantly and provocatively.
Even so, he still stood still, not daring to move forward.
The soldier's face was also full of nervousness, and he turned to look at Baihu not far away.
But the hundreds of households guarding Longyou Road turned their attention to Duan Tianming, waiting for his decision.
Duan Tianming put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards the young man.
"Aren't you going to break through the defense? Why are you standing there? Keep charging and break through."
"I'm already standing here, attacking your defense. Come on, let him stab me if you can." Seeing that the soldier did not dare to stab himself even though the tip of his gun was pressed against his chest, the young man turned his head to look.
Xiang Duan Tianming's eyes were even more proud.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Although you didn't break through the defense, your behavior is already impacting the defense. Since you asked to be stabbed, it would seem that I am a bit stingy if I don't meet your request."
With a smile on his face, Duan Tianming raised his right foot and kicked the young man on the lower back.
"Pfft."
The sharp red-tasseled gun passed through the young man's body, and the gun tip came out from the back with red tassel on it.
The red tassel that was originally swaying in the wind was now even redder, and was "pasted" on the gun barrel by a large amount of blood.
The crowd fell silent instantly.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide, as if he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
The hundreds of households guarding Longyou Road were all shaken up and looked at Duan Tianming quietly, not daring to say a word.
As for the soldier holding the red-tasseled gun, he grasped the gun barrel with both hands, whether he let go or not.
The young man who was testing the gun turned his head and looked at Duan Tianming in disbelief.
When he wanted to speak, he opened his mouth, and what came out was not sound, but a large amount of bright red blood.
His body shook a few times, his head tilted, and he stopped breathing.
"You, you, you actually killed him?" He raised his right hand and pointed at Duan Tianming tremblingly, but the middle-aged man stepped back involuntarily.
"Are you blind or deaf? Didn't you hear him asking others to stab him? Let's put aside the superior order of attack and defense and shoot to death. How can I bear not to satisfy his own request?" with a look on his face.
With a smile, Duan Tianming shook his head again, "However, I really can't figure out how someone could make such a request."
"You, you are so bold." The middle-aged man turned blue with anger, "Do you know that we are military households specially invited by Commander Gong Changwei? If you do this, your head will be in danger."
"Oh, it turned out to be a military household specially invited by Zhang Xing? Why don't you take a look at yourself and see what kind of virtue you are? A military household specially invited by Zhang Xing. Isn't he just a member of the caravan? He has a few dollars and has lived a good life.
Is it more nourishing than other common people? Is there anything worthy of Zhang Xing’s special invitation?”
Duan Tianming put his hands behind his back and looked at the other person with disdain.
"Let me tell you, we are not only members of the caravan, we are also people of Dingxihou. If you kill a young man now, be prepared to take your head as a sacrifice."
"You want me to die? I have killed too many people. If you want to die, I don't know how many reincarnations are needed. Don't count on your Dingxihou. At this moment, he has become a corpse. Throw it away
Went to feed wild wolves in the ditch outside Gongchang City."
Duan Tianming laughed, very unscrupulously.
"You're talking nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense? I'm too lazy to explain to you. I'm here to kill all of you. This young man just took the first step. You don't have to feel sorry for him."
"Kill us all? Why, why?"
The middle-aged man's purple face instantly turned pale.
"These soldiers who were added to Gongchangwei by your caravan are committing a crime of treason by attacking Gongchangfu Yamen with arms. They will be executed in the Gongchangwei Command and Envoy Department, and I will execute the death penalty here at your place."
Duan Tianming said with a smile.
"No, it's impossible, this is absolutely impossible. You can't kill us. We have many old people here, and even more children."
The middle-aged man shouted loudly.
"If you want to blame, just blame your good sons, good husbands, and good fathers who dare to rebel."
Duan Tianming raised his right hand and waved it forward gently.
"Slaughter the village, leaving no chickens or dogs behind."
