Chapter 110: The edifice will fall
Jiaozhi City, located in the place where the Qin Dynasty went south, was the gateway to the northern dynasty and the key pass of the southern barbarian invasion, so the Qin Dynasty was willing to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to clear the mountain bandits in the east, and appointed Pang Lu, a veteran with rich combat experience, to achieve the purpose of driving tigers and wolves and deterring the Quartet.
Of course, in the final analysis, this war was only a battle between the Qin Dynasty and Wohua Mountain, and it had nothing to do with the rise and fall of the people, Wohua Mountain did not directly invade the Qin Dynasty city with troops, and several officials of the Qin Dynasty who did not allow the territory to be trampled on proposed conquest, and created the Songtaoling Massacre as a reason to attack Wohua Mountain.
As the city lord of Jiaozhi City, Yang Tafeng has been completely ignoring the orders and arrangements from Pang Lu recently, and has focused on rectifying the forces in the city and the stability of the people, just a few days, he has changed the phenomenon of hegemony in previous years, and many overlord families who are powerful and blessed have been detained and beheaded, and Yang Tafeng seems to have no idea what the officials in the capital will do with him when they learn the news, and Huo Huo is actually going to kill all the diseases and insects that affect the peace of the people in the city.
"Report to the city lord, eighteen members of the Zhao family's main clan have been ambushed, and the other collateral disciples will be assigned to the army according to the crimes they have committed, and they will be implemented today. ”
"Report to the city lord, the He family has been convicted of trafficking in illicit salt and driving up the price of salt for many years, and 21 members of the family were arrested at noon today, among which the He family and son have escaped the net and are now being pursued. ”
"Report to the city lord, the Jianghu gang Yizi will buy and sell under the protection of the Xu family many times, and directly or indirectly led to the death of thirteen innocent people, we encountered fierce resistance when we sent troops to round up, according to the order of the city lord, the rebels have been killed on the spot, and all the fifty-six core members of the Yizi Society bowed down. ”
......
Yang Tafeng stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, like a statue, where he could clearly see the confrontation between the two armies on the Cochin Plain, and he could also see the scene of the heads falling on the execution ground, he quietly listened to one of his subordinates coming to report the situation, and there was no trace of a smile on his cold face, as if the deaths of those people were worthless in his eyes.
He is now the real city lord of Jiaozhi City, five thousand armor soldiers can go to the soup for his orders anytime and anywhere, under the cleaning of this city soldiers, it is difficult for any force to get away with it, of course, this is not absolute, now the evil families in this city have been wiped out, and the only thing left is the Liu family, one of the three major overlord families in the past.
"Liu family, Liu Qidun, it's finally your turn. ”
The personal guard on the side said: "City Lord, the Liu family was killed by Lin Han of Wohua Mountain since that day, and there are two seventh-rank martial artists in the family, we are afraid that it will be a little difficult for us to besiege them!"
Yang Ta Feng said: "The martial artists of the seventh rank naturally have someone to deal with, you only need to besiege and kill the others." As long as the Liu family is destroyed, there will be no more turbulent factors in Jiaozhi City, and even if I am not there, the people in the city can live and work in peace and contentment. ”
There is such a family in Jiaozhi City, who wears ordinary food and clothing, and even lives on the food and clothing line, even if the big families in Jiaozhi City have bells and drums, and even some of the rice porridge thrown away by the children of Jiaozhi cannot get it, but they are still living hard to survive. Of course, there are too many such people.
The woman's husband was an ordinary city soldier in Yangtafeng, who only supported his wife and daughter on a meager salary, and the life of the woman and her daughter was similar to that of thousands of families, while earning some subsidies by planting vegetables and weaving cloth, while waiting for her husband's return and the distribution of soldiers, humble as an ant, I don't know when I will not see tomorrow's sunny day.
"Ling'er, how was today's meal?"
"It's delicious, there seems to be something strange in the porridge, but it's delicious. Yesterday's leaves didn't seem to have been washed, and they had a sour taste. ”
"Silly boy, yesterday's vegetable leaves are about to go bad, that's the taste, today is different, I bought a piece of meat and put it in your bowl, that meat is precious, children grow bodies, but they can't be hungry all the time." ”
"Hmm. Mother, why don't you have meat in your bowl?"
The woman seemed to have a hard time answering the child's words, so she grabbed the girl's hand and said, "Ling'er, what do you think of the city lord Yangta Feng?
The little girl named Ling'er said: "That person, I don't know, I don't know him, but I seem to see my father following him." ”
Madame smiled: "That man is your father's commander, and he gave us the money for eating and drinking, but he is not a good person, because your father was captured by his conscription." However, this wicked man is doing good deeds now, and many villains in the city have been arrested, so we don't have to go so fast when we go to the city to buy rice and noodles in the future. ”
The girl's mouth was deflated and she said, "Mother, since he caught the bad guy, why is he not a good person, so how can he be considered a good person?"
The woman said: "He has killed so many people, failed so many people, and he can't be a good person in this life, but now what he does is really good to us ordinary people, he can't be regarded as a completely bad person, at least, he really wants us to live." It's like the lame Uncle Zhu next door, we haven't thanked him for giving us a few sweet potatoes last time, and the vendor who gave you half a steamed bun when he saw that you were hungry is also a good person. ”
The little girl still didn't understand, so she pouted even more, and said, "Mother, is that brother who hugged me on the street the day before yesterday a good person?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the child had pushed the definition of good and bad onto that person, and that day there were many armor soldiers chasing the young man, and if he hadn't picked up the lost girl in time, the weapon thrown by the pursuers would have shot at her. However, could the person who could be hunted down by the armored soldiers defending the city be a good person? The answer, of course, is no. If she affirms this answer, she denies the significance of her husband's military service in Cochin City.
However, he saved the child. Whether he suddenly found his kindness, or saw the child pitiful and did it, he saved the child after all.
The woman's lips pursed, and she didn't get an answer after thinking for a long time, but looking at the child's watery eyes, she couldn't help but answer: "Ling'er, that person must be a bad person, but he is probably hungry and afraid, so he chose to be a bad person, just like many people in the Qin Dynasty, if they can be given a chance, they will choose to be a good person." ”
The little girl nodded again and again, and after this summer, she would be eight years old. No one knows that her eight-year-old has three wishes, the first is to bring home her father who was a soldier, the second is to eat porridge with meat every day, and the third is to make the big brother who was bitten by herself a good person.
Outside Liufu, a large number of armor soldiers were on standby with guns and halberds, and it was completely impossible to escape under this impenetrable surrounding, even if it was a real eight-rank martial arts master, he could not get out safely in the formation. Liu Qidun and hundreds of soldiers from the government could not take the initiative to attack, so they could only wait for the accident to happen in the cage.
Liu Qidun had been standing in front of the hall for several hours, not taking half a sip of tea, not eating half a spoonful, rice, because he was too calculating, he didn't expect Yang Ta Feng to shoot so quickly, and let the A Corps in the city surround him, as long as Yang Ta Feng signaled that the A soldiers rushed up, and a family of hundreds of lives would be lifeless.
"Did the letter get out?"
Xiang Lian stepped forward and said, "Master, it's been sent out, but the people who sent the letter are all dead." Master, Xiang Guang has died in the hands of Wohua Mountain, do we still believe that they can save us?"
"We have no other choice, and now we are desperate. Yang Tafeng, who has been suppressed all these years, took advantage of this chaos to regain power in Jiaozhi City, and forcibly recruited many people as armor soldiers, he has always hated me and Xu Cong, and is bent on restoring the stable rule of Jiaozhi City, he will definitely not let me go. Now we are like lost dogs, even the Wang family with the support of the prince has been slaughtered by the people he invited to Jinshuizong, if we do not accept the deal proposed by Wohua Mountain, we will inevitably be buried in this Jiaozhi City. ”
Xiang Lian said: "Trading with Wohua Mountain is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, the Panglu military camp defense map that we exhausted the secret spies obtained, was so easily obtained by them, I am afraid that they will be treacherous, not only will they not help us, but they will even take advantage of the fire to rob." ”
Liu Qidun said: "Definitely not, if it is Luo Hu or others who kill Xiang Guang, they may stab us again, but Lin Han comes, then it will not." ”
Xiang Lian asked, "Why?"
Liu Qidun said: "A white-faced gentleman, you should abide by benevolence and righteousness!"
Three days of trapping, one day is like a year, the former overlord of the Liu family's soldiers, under the leadership of the graceful Liu family's son, once no one dared to provoke in Jiaozhi City, they never thought that the current Liu family has been like a thin mountain, and even the next moment will the building collapse.
Liu Kai stayed in the courtyard of Liufu for several days, because of the Yangta wind in the courtyard, it was difficult for him to find a lot of women who looked good, and the snake girls who should have been trained as slaves by the family were rescued by Lin Han, and the girls in the Liuyan Workshop couldn't get in, so he could only find a few girls in the house to vent the fire, but it was difficult to have fun after all.
Since Xiang Guang was punched to death by Lin Han, in order to ensure Liu Kai's safety, Liu Qidun arranged another seventh-rank martial artist to protect him, and in this Liufu except him, only Xiang Lian reached the seventh-rank.
Liu Kai begged with a smile: "Uncle Tu, is there a way to find a good-looking woman, like a few signature girls in Liuyanfang, I really can't help it these days, those girls in the house are too cheesy, I can't play anymore." ”
The middle-aged man known as Uncle Tu said coldly: "The head of the family asked me to protect your safety, but I didn't say that I should find you a woman, now the Liu family is facing a catastrophe, and the head of the family is going to be annoyed and sick, but you still have the heart to think about these things, how disappointed you would be if you let the head of the family know!"
Liu Kai's face was slightly angry, and he said: "Since we are surrounded by so many armor soldiers, what else can we do, otherwise enjoy it more, the old man doesn't know how to know that it is enough to be happy, so he incurs this kind of fate, who is to blame?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his anger could not be suppressed, and he scolded: "What the hell are you, if I had a son like you, I would have slapped you to death a long time ago!"
Liu Kai's face changed in shock, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, pretending to threaten: "You are sent by my father to protect me, even if you are older, you dare to do anything to me?"
The middle-aged man said angrily: "What a complete garbage, I'll go and report to the head of the family now, I won't stay with you anymore, it's just dirty my ears." ”
Liu Kai was also annoyed and angry, as the only heir of the Liu family, he was scolded by a minion, even if the building was about to collapse now, he couldn't tolerate it, but when he was about to shout and reprimand, he saw that there was an extra man in black in front of Uncle Tu who turned to leave, and that person's fingers pierced Uncle Tu's throat, and as soon as the man in black let go, the seven-stage martial artist died.
"Ah~ Killed! Help!" Liu Kai was stunned for a long time before he reacted from the panic, and out of the most primitive survival revival, his throat began to roar as if his throat was torn.
The man in black was the blessing of the nine-rank person, he had no interest in killing this gentleman and other miscellaneous soldiers, and Yang Tafeng just asked him to kill the high-ranking martial artists in this mansion, and the other aftermath was naturally handled by those armor soldiers. I saw that he stepped lightly under his feet, and he climbed over several courtyard walls in a row and disappeared in front of Liu Kai's eyes.
"Master of the family, the sheep tower wind has begun to attack!"
Liu Qidun was wearing an armor suit and holding a long sword, followed by Xiang Lian and more than a dozen elite government soldiers, and the others all went to the front to resist the attack of the armor soldiers, and it was estimated that it would not take long to be defeated
Door.
Liu Qidun said: "Come on, hurry up and inform Kai'er, let him follow our escape route, according to the plan, as long as Kai'er is sent out, there is still hope for our Liu family if he lives." ”
Xiang Lian said: "Master, Liu Kai is inexperienced after all, and you are the key to the prosperity of the Liu family by protecting the head of the family!"
Liu Qidun said: "When she left, there was only this one flesh and blood left, even if he was a gentleman, even if he was useless, but how could I, as an old man, let him die in front of me? ”
Xiang Lian and the loyal soldiers were silent. However, they unconditionally obeyed the orders of the head of the household.
At this time, a sixth-rank martial artist had already carried Liu Kai over, and Liu Qidun saw Liu Kai who was unconscious, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Kai'er?"
The warrior responded: "The young master is fine, the armor soldiers who rushed in are all blocked, his young master was just frightened and fainted, but the picture of protecting the young master is ......"
"That's good, it's okay!" Liu Qidun interrupted the warrior, because he knew what he was going to say, for the sake of the pitiful cohesion of this last remaining bit of troops, he just nodded, and let the warrior carry Liu Kai on his back.
Xiang Lian frowned, but finally didn't say anything.
"Bang!"
With a deafening explosion, a corner of the north side of Liufu was blasted open by explosives, which was originally the most solid wall of the entire mansion, but it became a secret escape for Liu Qidun's group of twenty or thirty people. Liu Qidun and the others rushed out on horseback, because of the cover of Xiang Lian, this breakthrough was not as bloody as imagined.
Yang Tafeng was in the formation of a soldier, and suddenly a spy came to report that Liu Qidun and a group of more than 30 people broke through and escaped in the north, Yang Tafeng did not have any angry look, but smiled: "What an old fox, the high wall in the north is the highest and thickest, and I also deployed the least troops, Liu Qidun was able to notice this, and planted explosives early to destroy the wall and break through, which is really decisive and wise." ”
The leader of the first soldier stepped forward and asked, "City Lord, then can we still chase after us?"
Yang Tafeng said: "Naturally, they are chasing, they are walking from the north, and the distance out of the city has become a lot farther, and it is also difficult to escape from the city, so I ordered the armor soldiers and the archers on the city wall to do their best to kill." However, if the Wohua Mountain bandits lurking outside the city enter the city to rescue, you don't have to fight to the death, and retreat when you retreat. ”
"Yes!"
Yang Tafeng and his retinue fled, the siege and killing of the armor soldiers, the pursuit along the way, and even the crazy archery from the archers, when more than 30 people ran to the city gate, only seven people remained. The warrior who was originally carrying Liu Kai was also shot by random arrows, and Liu Qidun had to carry it himself, and Xiang Lian guarded against random arrows.
"Rush out, there are friendly troops from Wohua Mountain outside the city to answer!"
Just as Liu Qidun's seven people were about to take advantage of the momentum to rush out, the two big men in iron armor suddenly appeared and overturned the two men who rushed to the front with one move, and Xiang Lian hurriedly shot out to open the block of the two, but they were also blown away by a punch, although they were not injured, but they lost the best time to break through. The armor soldiers defending the city immediately blocked the thistles, and a group of armor soldiers with lassos also quickly took position, and the armor soldiers behind them also chased after them.
But can you survive if you surrender?
Liu Qidun laughed at himself, turned his head to look at the long-lost Liufu, and said, "It's really ruthless, I'm afraid my Liufu won't be able to survive now, right?"
Yang Tafeng peeked out from the city wall, looked at Liu Qidun and said: "The whole of Liufu is a sinner, Liu Qidun, your escape has already doomed the tragic fate of other people, they all died because of you, if it weren't for your Liufu bullying the people for decades, how could you end up in such a field?"
Liu Qidun said: "The times create heroes, the city lord who has been dormant for many years finally has enough power to sweep a city, I don't know how to praise you, but even if I am like a dry dragon now, but you Yang Tafeng can't kill me?"
Yang Tafeng looked at him angrily, and said coldly: "Only when you die, the entire Jiaozhi City will be truly stable, you don't have any capital to resist now, how can I not kill you, how can I not kill you!"
At this moment, a messenger dressed in the uniform of the Qin army armor came from outside the city, and when he saw someone on the city wall, he drew his bow and shot arrows, shot a letter on the wall, and shouted: "The Eastern Generalissimo Meng Jinyan has an order, please let Liu Qidun go out of the city by the lord of Yangta Fengcheng." ”
Eastern Generalissimo Meng Jianyan?
When Yang Tafeng was surprised, the first soldier had already sent the letter forward, Yang Tafeng opened it and looked at it, and immediately understood the reason here, just because Liu Qidun's dead wife was Meng Jianyan's sister, so Meng Jianyan sent someone to rescue him after hearing about this, with Meng Jianyan's status and identity, which official and force did not give him a face?
The soldiers under the city were all stopped by the shouts of the letter detectives, because they involved the orders of the generalissimo of the east, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Xiang Lian was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that the master has already asked the generalissimo for help, and the Liu family has finally been saved." Liu Qidun smiled and said: "Yangta Feng, even if you have a thousand armor sieges, you are an official of the Qin Dynasty after all, even if the knife is placed on my neck today, how dare you kill me?"
"Castle Lord......"
The commander of the first soldier saw that Yang Tafeng was very ugly after reading the letter, and wanted to say words of relief to protect himself, but Yang Tafeng laughed loudly, and at the same time tore the letter to shreds with both hands.
Yang Tafeng grabbed the bow and arrow of the archer on the side, shot it from a high altitude, and hit the letter detective in the chest, the letter agent struggled twice, turned over and fell off the horse. There was silence among the thousands of armor soldiers.
Only the wanton laughter of Yangtafeng echoed in front and behind the city wall: "Those who dare to pretend to be the marshal's letters, I, Yangtafeng, will not tolerate it! All the armor soldiers obeyed the order and killed the willow thief!"
