Chapter 269 Integrity daughter (four thousand words)
In Shenmu Fort, as the soldiers left the city, the entire city was alarmed. It was really because the big guy hadn't seen thousands of soldiers ordered by the thousand households for many years. The battalions and the official army almost came out in full swing. Except for those who left behind to guard the city gate, it can be said that every household had a male soldier on the expedition.
In the early morning of spring, even if the wind is still cold, the people of Shenmu Fort still support the elderly and young people to watch the soldiers and see them off. This is not how popular the thousands of households of Xu Tong are. It is really a military fortress like Shenmu Fort. Ninety percent of the residents in the city are the families of soldiers. These people care about their sons, husbands, brothers, and uncles of their fathers and generations can return safely.
Xu Tong, covered in clothes, rode on the horse, looking at the more than a thousand troops that had been gathered out, his face was full of pride. Gao Jin's soldiers were already disabled, and no matter how brave he was, he would never be his opponent.
The flags were waving, and the Shenmu Fort army that winded from the city gate to the distant official road were mostly wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets. Looking around, they still had some momentum. But if they looked closer, they would find that the officials behind the team were loose when they marched. These people only wore mandarin duck battle jackets. As for armor, there was not even leather armor, let alone helmets. Nearly half of the people inside were pale and thin, and they had no energy.
On the city wall, Liu Xun looked at Xu Tong, who was surrounded by his subordinates and battalions in the army leaving the city, and couldn't help but sneer, "This old dog, do you really think that the more people the war is, the better?"
“What the adults said is.”
Beside Liu Xun was the gatekeeper of the East City who was left behind by Xu Tong to defend the city. The Zhang Zongqi, who rescued Shan Ying, and the other three colleagues guarding the city, were all ordinary officers with no background or relationship in Shenmu Fort. They wanted to defect to Xu Tong, the Qianhu, but they couldn't catch up. Even if they wanted to bribe, they couldn't find any money. In the end, they became the marginal household in Shenmu Fort. If there were good things, they were not their turn, and if they were all working, they would take turns.
Liu Xun had no achievements in Shenmu Fort in the past. After Tian Anguo, a veteran deputy Qianhu, was dealt with by Xu Tong, he seemed even more invisible. So even if he had a good relationship with Gao Jin, Xu Tong did not take him seriously, which gave Liu Xun the opportunity to bribe Zhang Zongqi.
Mr. Zhang smiled. Although the Deputy Qianhu next to him was called Liu Da Sisi, he was very generous. He gave him fifty taels of cash when he met, which was worth his salary for half a year. Therefore, for the sake of money, he also had to serve the Deputy Qianhu, and whatever the master said was what he said.
"I heard that many soldiers from home were sent out, but they all persuaded them. They ran away after getting on the battlefield and found a place where no one was hidden. They would wait until the fight was finished..."
Mr. Zhang responded to Liu Xun there, but he was not saying anything. Those officials who were making up for their own money were all powerful laborers at home, so it would be fine if they could not get food and salary. Although Xu Tong, the Thousand Households, issued a transfer of silver, a few chunks of silver was not enough to ask people to fight to the death.
If Gao Yanluo was as powerful as the legend, he would be afraid that he could resist one or two besides the hundreds of battalions. The other officials would probably have to coax and flee if they flee.
When Mr. Zhang thought about this, he couldn't help but ridicule Xu Tong, the Qianhu Shangguan, said, "I think Qianhu is really confused. What's the use of those official troops who make up the numbers!"
"That old dog was not confused, he was afraid..."
Liu Xun looked at Mr. Zhang with a sneer. At this time, the army leaving the city had disappeared on the official road in the distance, and the flying dust gradually calmed down. At this time, the sun was already hanging high and the sky was clear, which was a rare good weather.
On the city wall, the armoured Liu family servants stepped forward. The two burly servants in the lead were each carrying several heads wrapped in their hair. The blood between the necks had not yet dried and was still dripping on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zongqi couldn't help but sway his legs. As Liu Xun nodded, the two burly servants threw the heads in their hands at the feet of Zhang Zongqi, rolled several times before stopping. One of them was facing Zhang Zongqi with his eyes open. After seeing the face clearly, Zhang Zongqi was so scared that he knelt directly in front of Liu Xun.
"Sir, please spare me!"
The one who died was Lao Shi, a colleague who guarded the south city. He usually had a good relationship with Mr. Zhang. The two of them often drank and complained together.
"Zhang Zhengqi, you're afraid you don't know. This guy is Xu Laogou's man. What you usually say to him, hehe, I'm afraid Xu Laogou knows a lot. No wonder you have been guarding the city gate for so many years and are still poor and have become that kind of virtue."
Looking at Zhang General Qi who thought he was going to kill him and kowtowed like pounding garlic, Liu Xun pulled him up like a chicken and said with a sneer.
Do people in this Shenmu Castle think he is a fool from Camel City? But compared to the intrigue in Camel City, Xu Laogou's tricks are nothing!
"Zhang Zhengqi, my money is not that easy to get. Once you collect it, you have to do things. This is the rule, do you understand?"
"The young man will follow the lead of the young man in the future."
No matter how dull Mr. Zhang was, he looked at the murderous servant of the Liu family and knew that the Shenmu Castle was about to change. Now that Xu Tong, the Qianhu, was no longer there, Liu Xun, the deputy Qianhu, was the biggest official.
"Chain the city gates, from now on, without my orders, even a mouse cannot leave the Shenmu Fortress. Do you understand?"
Looking at Mr. Zhang who was so scared that he was a little stupid, Liu Xun shook his hand and patted his face gently.
"Ming... I understand..."
Mr. Zhang stuttered, then responded quickly, then rolled and climbed down the city wall, kicked his subordinates and closed the gate. At this time, Liu Xun had already brought his servants down the city wall.
"These are rewards for you. Leave the team members to keep here and take the rest with me."
Looking at the leather bag that was suddenly thrown over, Mr. Zhang was stunned. When he reached out his hand, he slapped it slowly. As a result, the bag of silver fell to the ground, dozens of taels of broken silver were spilled all over the ground, which made his soldiers look straight.
"What are you doing while standing there? I'll send the money quickly."
Amid Liu Xun's scolding, Mr. Zhang hurriedly threw himself to the ground and hugged all the money in his arms, and then sent it to the soldiers under his command on the spot with great pain.
Almost everyone received nearly two silver coins, and the soldiers guarding the city immediately changed their appearance. When they followed Liu Xun, the deputy Qianhu, they were all proud and majestic.
Apart from the South City Gate that had been controlled, Liu Xun took Zhang Zongqi to the West City Gate and the North City Gate for a walk. Zhang Zongqi and his soldiers appeared to tell the story. The other two general flags also knelt down very quickly to hold the silver. They were not fools, and fighting with the heavy armored servants of the Liu family, what is the difference between killing them?
In less than half a day, Liu Xun took down the four gates of Shenmu Fort without any blood. Then, with more than 100 guards who had gathered up and the armored servants in the mansion, he rushed towards Qianhusou. He even held a Lumi gun in his hand, and two dog legs raised the tiger squatting cannon, and followed behind him with great might.
As the sun was clear, Liu Xun drove straight into Qianhu Station. The crowds along the streets were scared to hide in their homes. Some rogues wanted to watch the fun, but they were cut off by the armored servants of the Liu Mansion and the corpse was on the spot.
"As long as I am still here, this Shenmu Fortress will not be in chaos. After I finish the business later, if anyone dares to go out to make trouble and take advantage of the situation, I will peel him alive."
Liu Xun's words made the city fox and community rats hiding in the dark all frightened. They thought that something was going to happen in the Shenmu Castle, and they all thought they could take the opportunity to get a vote later, but they didn't expect that Liu Da Si was so fierce and asked them to give up the idea.
After shouting, Liu Xun directly asked him to follow him, take the bird gun and shoot the wild animals' dog legs, put down the tiger squat cannon, aim it directly at the closed door of Qianhusou, and start loading medicine.
Liu Xun's noise naturally alarmed Xu Tong's confidant in Qianhu Station. When he led his men to the gate, when he heard his subordinates report, Liu Xun led his troops to block the gate of Qianhu Station, he was shocked and quickly climbed the ladder to the wall. As a result, he was about to see Liu Xun let his subordinates load up the tiger squatting cannon, which scared him to death.
"Police Qianhu Liu, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"
On the wall, Xu Tong left the housekeeper's confidant to scream at the top of his lungs. His shouting really made the city guards gathered behind Liu Xun hesitate.
"rebel?"
Liu Xun laughed loudly, then looked at the soldiers guarding the city behind him, holding the Lumi guns filled with bullets in his hand and said slowly, "Xu Tong colluded with the White Lotus Sect bandits, took over the soldiers in the city, and planned to rebel. Now the soldiers of Camel City are on the way, and we are here to quell the rebellion."
When he was about to finish his words, Liu Xun suddenly turned around and set up a gun, pinched the machine and fired the gun. The gunshot sounded. Xu Tong, who was on the wall, felt his chest stuffy and he fell to the sky.
"Master's sharp shot!"
The two cannon-mounted dog legs immediately shouted, and the master usually went to the mountains to hunt, so the Lumi gun could be said to be able to fall birds within 20 steps.
"On average, why don't you fire a cannon quickly and knock the door to pieces for me."
Liu Xun put down the Lumi gun and said loudly that the gun had just been hitting the wall, otherwise he would have exploded the thief's dog head with one shot, but he probably wouldn't have survived if he fell like this.
Two dog legs, who were also good at using firearms, quickly ignited the money. Then the soldiers guarding the city heard a loud noise, and the thick wooden door of the Thousand Houses was broken into pieces, revealing a large hole.
"Kill Xu Ni and quell the rioters."
Liu Xun drew his sword and shouted. The servants covered in heavy armor behind him shouted together. More than 20 armored soldiers rushed towards the gate, directly knocking the broken door to the ground, and fighting with the servants who left the guards in Xu Tong inside.
"What are you doing while standing there? You won't go in and kill all the thieves. Then you will be able to collect Xu Ni's property and you will have a share."
When the soldiers guarding the city, who were already a little hesitant, heard Liu Xun's words, they all had red eyes and rushed into the Qianhu House like wolves and tigers, and took the initiative to fight with the Xu family servants.
Liu Xun reloaded the ammunition for Lumi Gun, and then stepped into Qianhu Institution. He raised his hand and rolled over a heavy armored servant of Xu Mansion with one gun. Then he joined his subordinates and went straight to Qianhu Institution's backyard mansion.
There were more than ten servants left at Xu Tong's mansion to guard the family, and there were dozens of servants. However, facing Liu Xun's nearly 200 servants with a strong morale, he could not stop it. Especially Liu Xun was carrying the Lumi gun, and there were servants guards beside him. One shot was one, and he directly released the three heavy armored cavalrymen from Xu's mansion.
At this time, in a room in the backyard of Qianhushou, the guard who was in charge of guarding Shan Ying was twitching at this time, covering his neck with his hands and staring at Shan Ying with his eyes burst out. Finally, he fell down unwillingly until he died. The sick-looking seriously injured Baihu actually killed him with a chopstick.
"The third brother..."
The guard outside pushed open the door. He heard the sound of someone falling to the ground in the room. He thought that his companions had killed the hundred households in the Shanjia Village. Unexpectedly, the cold blade was inserted from bottom to top and diagonally into his chin.
Looking at the guard who fell forward after two sounds, Shan Ying gently moved away, looked up at the clear blue sky, feeling the sunlight was a little dazzling, so he went back to the room, pulled out the blood-stained chopsticks and wiped them hard on his sleeve, sat at the table, and ate the remaining half of the bowl of white rice porridge with the pickles.
Liu Xun carried the Lumi gun. When he saw Shan Ying, the wolf Gu Ying looked like a white wolf, who looked at him, was eating porridge there, as if a starving ghost was reincarnated. There were two deadly and miserable corpses in the wing room, and his white shirt was covered with blood mist sprayed.
"Single hundred households have long been famous, but I didn't expect that my favorite food was really good."
Looking at Shan Ying sitting there with a blank expression on her face and staring at her cold eyes calmly, Liu Xun felt her hair standing up all over her body, and finally said dryly, if it weren't for the armored servants around him, he wouldn't help but want to turn his head and leave.
Shan Ying looked at Liu Xun with a forced smile on her face and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so he said, "Sir Liu, why did you tease me? Shan just doesn't want to be a starving ghost on the road to the underworld!"
"What is the underworld road..."
Liu Xun looked at Shan Ying who seemed to be dead and frowned. Then he looked at the clean rice bowl on the table. He seemed to understand something and said to Shan Ying with laughter and cry, "Dan Baihu, don't you think I'm here to kill you, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"Shan is a complete villain who sells friends to seek honor. He is a great villain. If the high-ranking master can use me, he may not be able to tolerate me... I just killed these two guards who were murderous to me and then figured it out."
Shan Ying was talking to herself, as if she was crazy, but she told Liu Xun to interrupt him, "Brother Gao has given him instructions, come to Xu Laogou as a deathbed, the situation is the most dangerous, but when I want me to do something, I must save you. In addition, I rushed over in a hurry, but I saved something that was ungrateful!"
Hearing Liu Xun's words, Shan Ying's face suddenly became bright, and then he laughed in a dizzy way, first laughing softly, then laughing loudly, laughing like a fool, and finally he knelt on the ground, scaring Liu Xun, "Grandmaster, Shan Ying's life will be yours in the future."
