Chapter II: Solicitation of Bribes
"Oh no, the tunnel is collapsing!"
Lu Chuan, who was covered in dust, was embarrassed and crawled.
"What about the others?"
Xu Laogen's round eyes were glaring, and his fierce face was revealed.
"I ...... I ......"
Lu Chuan was at a loss.
"Flee from the battle, abandon the robe, and be beheaded according to the law!"
Xu Laogen shouted angrily and flew up.
"Boss Xu, I ......"
Lu Chuan's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously put on a non-trivial horse step squatting posture, waving his arms wildly.
Boom!
The strong wind was howling, and Lu Chuan's thin body, which was less than 100 catties, smashed into the pile of debris like a broken pocket.
The guards froze, but no one looked at them.
"The enemy is not the former, there is such a fang. Quickly point the flint cage to warn and notify the other Guardians to come ......"
Xu Laogen glanced at the pile of debris suspiciously, and waved his hand.
Aggressive!
In the midst of a few muffled cannons, the wooden door flew violently, and it was pulled open by several horses.
Woohoo!
Rockets shot into the lobby from the darkness like meteors, and the two guards rolled to the ground screaming, and the horrified crowd hugged their heads and scurried.
"How can an archer be a deserter?"
Under the cover of the torches, Xu Laogen's face turned green, like a hideous ghost, "Save people!"
Hula!
Before he could finish speaking, several jars were thrown into the fort along the window, and the oil splattered inside, instantly igniting the accumulated debris.
"Damn!"
Xu Laogen roared angrily, and led the crowd to rush to the tunnel, "Go out of the tunnel!"
"Old Dog Xu, don't kill you, Lao Tzu...... Ahem!"
Lu Chuan staggered up, took out the last iron pill and swallowed it, and jumped out of the tunnel immediately behind, just as he saw the tragic scene.
Without the soldiers defending the fort, the desperate homeless, people are hacked to death with knives all the time, stumps and broken arms are flying, and blood is splashed everywhere!
"Xu Laogou is just a mid-ninth rank martial artist, he is so fierce, what if he goes up further?"
But seeing Xu Laogen slash the opponent with a knife, he jumped up violently, and with the momentum of Mount Tai's pressure, he slashed down, split a deserter with a weapon in half, and knocked an arrow away.
In an instant, four deserters were killed, and the bandit leader slaughtered Xu Laogen on horseback, and an iron spear was like a poisonous dragon out of a hole.
The two high-quality martial artists caught and killed each other, and no one dared to get close, and they were fierce.
"Archer!"
Lu Chuan's eyes lit up, and while observing, he quietly touched the archer who was staring at Xu Laogen.
In the end, Xu Laogen is a nine-rank martial artist, and he is a pawn of the border army for the rest of his life, it is difficult to sneak attack, and he is extremely cunning.
Waiting for the bandit leader to get close, Xu Laogen jumped into the crowd and performed a stunt to sneak attack.
But I don't want to, the bandit leader who seems to have fallen into danger is also showing weakness to the enemy, and his backhand is a big move, so that Xu Laogen has to defend with all his might.
The archer seized the opportunity and shot an arrow into Xu Laogen's shoulder, and the bandit leader took the opportunity to rush forward, but he was blinded by a handful of iron sand, and he wailed bitterly!
"Shhh
Lu Chuan gasped and listened to the bandit leader shouting, the iron sand was clearly poisonous!
It's a shame that he didn't plan to attack Xu Laogen directly, otherwise, in the face of these veteran soldiers, he didn't know what kind of poisonous method he would be killed!
"Who?"
The archer noticed the gasping sound and turned sharply, but was faced with a dagger that was dangling.
With a snort, blood splattered on his face, Lu Chuan wiped it carelessly, pulled out the dagger from the archer's neck, pulled off his shirt, and put it on his body indiscriminately.
You don't need to dress up at all, you just need to be a homeless person!
"Damn old dog Xu!"
Lu Chuan hatefully threw down the horn bow, his arms were almost broken by Xu Laogen, and he couldn't bend the bow and shoot arrows at all.
At this time, the heavily injured bandit leader danced the iron spear on the horse in no order, and was severely injured by Xu Laogen, and slashed several times in a row, but he was no longer supported!
Unaware of it, there was a thin figure behind him mixed with the chaotic people.
"Die!"
Xu Laogen was about to raise the knife and turned out to be the head of the bandit, and there was a sudden pain in the crook of his leg, and he lost his strength in an instant, and he couldn't help but feel like a ghost, thinking that he was hit by an arrow again.
Before he could see it clearly, the frenzied bandit leader saw the opportunity, shot him in the chest and flew away, instantly being overwhelmed by the homeless.
"Quick ......"
The bandit leader held on to his breath, and a sense of dizziness swept through his body, although he noticed something wrong with the back of his head, he was powerless to dodge, and with a muffled pop, the big head rose to the sky.
"The bandit leader is dead, kill!
Lu Chuan raised his head and roared loudly.
"Run!"
The displaced people collapsed in an instant, and even though a few deserters wanted revenge, they were coerced by 'their own people' and retreated, so they could only leave with hatred.
"Ogawa?"
The guards who could still stand, their eyes full of disbelief.
If it weren't for the familiar voice of the voice, no one would dare to believe that this blood-stained 'homeless person' would be a tuberculosis ghost that no one looks down on on weekdays!
"Thanks to Boss Xu's heavy wound to the bandit leader, I can slash this fang under the knife!"
Lu Chuan scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Poof!"
When Xu Laogen heard this, his mouth spurted blood, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
Lu Chuan squinted his eyes, and forcibly took advantage of the idea of killing Xu Laogen to arrange for someone to search for supplies.
......
Early in the morning, the sky was just dawning.
"Hurry up, don't let the thief go!"
A group of dozens of people came to Weibao, and it was obvious from their clothing that it was the nearby border army of Weibao in Siping.
Xu Laogen, who had just woken up, glanced at Lu Chuan vaguely, the poisonous color in his eyes flashed, and he got up to greet the comer.
"Thanks to Brother Liu's timely arrival, scare away the thieves!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of Xiaoliang Fort fought bravely to kill the enemy last night, which was half divided.
Many soldiers frowned, but when they thought that they had run for half a night to help, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction.
"Brother Xu, thank God you're fine, the border army family, something happened to your side, how can I let it go?"
Liu Peng raised his eyebrows, patted his chest, looked at the broth and said, "The brothers have been running for most of the night, Brother Xu doesn't mind if we drink the broth and pad our stomachs, right?"
"What do you mean......?
Xu Laogen feigned anger, and then looked embarrassed, "Forget it, don't talk about it, this is a little seizure by the younger brother, and I should thank Brother Liu and all the brothers for their rescue!"
"Hey, a pile of broken copper and iron, and it's called Hanako? Isn't that a horse?"
A soldier sneered disdainfully, and pointed abruptly to a few horses not far away.
"Horses?"
Liu Pengdeng's eyes lit up.
"That's not going to work!"
Xu Laogen's face changed, and he said continuously, "Last night, a small banner formation under my command beheaded the bandits, and most of the loot should be his, and I have no right to dispose of it!"
"Little Flag?"
Liu Peng looked coldly, and said with a smile, "Is Brother Xu joking?"
The brothers almost broke their legs, I think Brother Xu won't be stingy with a few inferior horses to lend to the elder brother to travel, right?"
Xu Laogen couldn't speak.
"This ......"
The guards of Xiaoliang Fort were furious, what is the difference between this and Ming robbery?
"Haha, Brother Xu is a bright person, and I am not ambiguous about my brother, and when I run out, I will definitely send it back soon...... Huh?"
Liu Peng raised his head and laughed, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
Wow!
The horse neighed, the young man slashed the horse's neck with his knife, blood splattered, his head held high, and the horse's corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
"The brothers are all injured, so they are naturally killing horses!"
Lu Chuan casually shook off the blood stains on the knife, and said lightly, "The dead and injured brothers also need to be compensated, Liu Zongqi will not treat his brothers badly, and my Xu Zongqi will not." ”
"You ......"
Liu Peng and Xu Laogen changed color in unison.
The guards of Xiaoliang Fort, looking at Lu Chuan and Xu Laogen, their eyes were completely different!
"Hey, what a sharp-toothed little crumb!"
Liu Peng's face sank, "Brother Xu, if you can't control your subordinates, I don't mind helping you." ”
"This ......"
Xu Laogen's eyes flickered, as if he intended to move.
"What a joke!"
Lu Chuan sneered, and the knife in his hand gestured at the neck of the other horse, "It's only a few dozen miles away, and it took half the night to arrive."
I want to ask for the loot again, and then I use the excuse that killing me is nothing, is the next step to kill people and kill them, so that I can swallow the loot alone, and then push two five or six to blame the homeless people?"
"Bold!"
One of Liu Peng's henchmen stepped forward, but was stopped.
Crash!
More than a dozen guards of Xiaoliang Fort held knives in their hands, staring at each other.
If the loot can't be saved, who will sell their lives?
"Mr. Liu, I don't bother you about the matter of Xiaoliangbao!"
Xu Laogen hesitated again and again and stood up.
If he doesn't express his position, not to mention the entire Xiaoliang Fort, at least the remaining soldiers, even if they don't throw themselves at Lu Chuan, will look down on him.
"Good!"
Liu Peng laughed angrily, and stared at Lu Chuan, "Let's go!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone gathered around Lu Chuan and laughed.
Xu Laogen's eyes were gloomy.
......
After noon, the people sent by Yangshan County to check on it were late.
"I never thought that under my Yangshan County, there are people like Xu Zongqi who are good at using soldiers!"
The lord Bo Yuan Jiancheng put his hands behind his back, squinted at Xu Laogen, who was carefully accompanying him, and said in his words, "After this battle, Xu Zongqi's promotion to 100 households is just around the corner, but where can you think about where to take a job?"
"The villain can have this result, thanks to the cultivation of all the adults, where the court needs the villain to go, the villain will go!"
Xu Laogen nodded and bowed, as if the other party was his own official.
"Haha, the imperial court needs a loyal person like you!"
Yuan Jiancheng bowed his head with satisfaction, and said meaningfully, "This gang of thieves has caused trouble in the township, and several villages have been affected, so Xu Zongqi must have gained a lot, right?"
"Where, where!"
The corners of Xu Laogen's eyes twitched, and he handed over a bag without a trace, "Please also ask Lord Yuan to take care of it!"
"Well said!"
Yuan Jiancheng put the bag into the cuffs, gently stroked it, and frowned slightly.
"Don't hide it from Lord Yuan!"
Xu Laogen looked bitter, gritted his teeth and said, "I have a small flag under my command, but my son inherited his father's business and enlisted in the army three months ago, and for the sake of the old brother, the lower officials have always taken good care of him, and I never thought that it would help his arrogance."
Last night, I fought the bandit leader and was seriously wounded, and this son took advantage of the chaos to kill the bandit leader, but he kept most of the capture for himself, saying that he wanted to give a bereavement pension to his dead brother. ”
"Bastards, it is the responsibility of the court to compensate the soldiers, and this move buys people's hearts and has bad intentions. ”
Yuan Jiancheng knew that there was something greasy in it, but he also followed the words.
"Who says it's not? However, this son is arrogant and domineering with his military exploits, and he doesn't take his subordinates in his eyes at all.
Even Liu Peng, who came to help in the morning, was scolded away by him, and even killed horses and intimidated him, hey!
The subordinate officer was seriously injured, unable to control it, ashamed, ashamed!"
Xu Laogen said helplessly.
"Hmph, what a ruffian, the war horse is a scarce resource in the imperial court, and it is strictly forbidden to slaughter it privately, this son is lawless, and his heart should be punished!"
Yuan Jiancheng squinted his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Call this fang, and the official will ask him personally." ”
"Master Yuan, forget it, I'm afraid that this son will be unruly, and he will ...... then"
Xu Laogen persuaded.
"This official is an official of the imperial court, can this fang dare to make trouble?"
Yuan Jiancheng said coldly.
"It's all to blame for the lack of strictness of the officials, and the trouble for the adults to make a move, so I'll call him here and wait for the adults to fall!"
Xu Laogen apologized repeatedly, and deliberately asked his henchmen to let Lu Chuan come and say that Shangguan wanted to reward Yunyun.
