Chapter 1447: Separation
Under the guidance of Nangong Bing, the group quickly entered a gate, and as soon as they entered, they found that it was a wide hall with smooth wooden planks and enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info When everyone was amazed by this hall, they were shouted: "See the lord! The voice woke up.
Everyone took a look and found dozens of men in tight black clothes kneeling on the side of the hall, and it was Nangong Dun who was at the head.
"It's Nangong Dun! You're fast. Zhao Hu said with a smile.
Nangong Dun didn't know why he couldn't help but shudder when he heard these greetings. However, he took a breath to stabilize his mood, held a box in both hands, knelt forward a few times, and said respectfully: "Lord, this is the head of the Bright Moon City Lord, please spend the day." ”
Nangong Dun is very proud now, originally he just wanted to try his luck after breaking the city, after all, the city lord's guards are too many, and it is possible that if he didn't kill him, he would even lose his own life.
Unexpectedly, the entire castle tower was only one of the dead ghost city lords, and all the guards disappeared, so of course he was overjoyed to cut off his head.
It's just a pity that when the corpse fell to the ground, it knocked over the fire that the dead ghost city lord had prepared a long time ago, and finally only snatched the head and a few treasures. It is a pity that a large number of other precious treasures were buried in the sea of fire.
What's more, if it weren't for the carelessness of letting the fire burn and attract everyone's attention, it would have been absolutely possible to remove most of the castle towers! At that time, his family was majestic!
Hearing this, Zhao Hu just opened the box with an "oh" to watch, but the faces of the retainers all changed greatly, especially Maude's face turned pale: "I said why didn't I see this guy appear under the city, dare him sneak in and snatch the merits!" Damn it! How could he be so lucky! ”
Although Maude was angry, he had nothing to say in the face of Nangong Dun's real achievements.
Everyone knows that the city gate was broken by Nangong Dun, and now the head of the city lord of Mingyue is also obtained by Nangong Dun, it can be said that the biggest meritorious person in this battle is Nangong Dun, and others can't look at the back of his neck at all.
What does this first credit represent? The lord is an outsider, and he cannot and will not serve as the lord of the city, so he can only choose a cronie from a local origin to take charge of the city for him. Needless to say, it's clear who this person is.
Zhao Hu closed the box and said with a smile: "Nangong Dun, you have made two major feats in a row this time, don't worry, I will reward you according to your merits." ”
Hearing this, Nangong Dun kowtowed and thanked him, and the retainers' eyes were red and they focused their envious eyes on him. As for Maude, he couldn't wait to pierce Nangong Dun's body with a jealous gaze.
Of course, among so many people present, only Nangong Bing was the only one with a smug face.
Nangong Dun, who was sober from his thoughts, immediately said respectfully: "This is all thanks to the care of the lord, and also through the prestige of the lord, the subordinates dare not ......."
But as soon as he said this, he was frightened by Zhao Hu's casual words: "By the way, didn't you say that you wanted to bring me a secret guard?" They're guards, right? ”
Nangong Dun kowtowed in a cold sweat and said, "Lord, they just can't be the losers of the secret guards. Since the transfer of the secret guards requires the order of the Council of Elders and the head of the family at the same time, but the Council of Elders has thrown themselves into the Bright Moon City Lord, so they are not willing to hand over the secret guards to the lord, so his subordinates can only bring out these secret guards to serve the lord. ”
When Nangong Dun defended, he took the opportunity to harm the Council of Elders, because Zhao Hu, the lord of Bright Moon City, ordered to destroy the Council of Elders, which was 10,000 times better than his own family taking the initiative to destroy the Council of Elders, and could avoid many troubles.
Maude gloated and said, "Hehe, Lord Nangong Dun, it's not because you are reluctant, but you deliberately shift the responsibility to the Council of Elders, right?"
"You know, it's very rare for a dignified family head to be controlled by the family's elders." As soon as these words came out, those jealous retainers naturally cooperated with a burst of ridicule.
Nangong Bing was already angry, if he hadn't been stopped by Nangong Dun's eyes, he would have scolded him a long time ago.
Not only did Nangong Dun not get angry, but he said with an embarrassed face: "Yes, the Nangong family has been controlled by the Council of Elders for many years, and the orders of the head of the family cannot be implemented properly at all, if it continues like this, my Nangong family will not be able to serve the Lord wholeheartedly." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hu smiled slightly, this guy threatened to lure himself. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Since this is the case, how about banning the elders?" Do you need me to send Maud to help? ”
Maude immediately became excited: "Don't worry, Lord Nangong Dun, please rest assured, the minister is determined to wipe out the members of the Nangong Elder Association!" ”
Let this guy Maud help? When he finishes helping, I'm afraid there won't be a few people alive in the entire Nangong family! So Nangong Dun immediately kowtowed and said: "Thank you for your care, but as long as the lord gives an order, the members of the Council of Elders will definitely not dare to disobey the lord's order, and they will definitely live in seclusion immediately, so there is no need to work hard Lord Maude." ”
Nangong Dun is now in a cold sweat, it seems that this lord is not so easy to fool.
Zhao Hu smiled again: "Oh, since that's the case, it's as you wish." ”
Maude, who was eager to try, had to bow his head in frustration, if he led the troops to help, he dared to promise to leave the Nangong family behind!
"Yes, thank you for your kindness." Nangong Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the scene suddenly became cold, and Zhao Hu saw that the retainers were all looking at him, knowing what they wanted, but now he had to say like this: "Okay, you go back to manage the troops first, find a place to live in the city for the time being, and wait for the results of the battle to be counted, and then reward them for meritorious deeds." ”
The people also understood that this reward could not be carried out immediately, and they all bowed respectfully and withdrew.
However, Zhao Hu urged Nangong Dun: "Nangong Dun, don't forget, you promised my secret guard." ”
Of course, Nangong Dun patted his chest, saying that he would send the secret guards immediately after cleaning up the Elders' Council, and he also obediently transferred the ownership of these failed secret guards to Zhao Hu. Zhao Hu also accepted it directly, not caring at all whether Nangong Dun would leave a secret hand.
I don't know if it's because of the boldness of the arts, or because I believe too much in the ability of the secret guards to substitute, or if the performance of those soldiers is reassuring, anyway, Zhao Hu took dozens of personal guards and secret guard substitutes to stay in this castle tower that was guarded by thousands of Bright Moon Army.
However, the Mingyue defenders did not stay in their posts for long, as soon as the clever Juan left the castle tower, he brought the militia to take over the post, and after the cavalry team of the old knife entered the city, with this strong strength as a backing, Zhao Hu finally controlled the entire city.
At this time, Maude brought the Mingyue retainers under house arrest.
Seeing Zhao Hu sitting cross-legged on the main seat of the hall, most of the retainers were stunned, and only that Fell was shocked. He never thought that it would be Zhao Hu, a major, who broke through Mingyue City!
Although Fell did not shout on the spot, the retainers still knew that Bright Moon City was in the hands of outsiders.
Realizing this, some of the retainers looked dead and some looked sad and angry. But most of them are flattering.
Everyone's expressions were all seen by Zhao Hu. Seeing the pugs that accounted for the vast majority of the number, Zhao Hu sighed secretly, no wonder Mingyue City was so easy to solve.
Zhao Hu habitually recruited them through exports, although he didn't care about Mingyue City, but since he grabbed it, he still wanted it to survive, so he needed these old ministers of Mingyue City to participate in the management, after all, everyone knew that those rogues were not competent at all.
Zhao Hu's solicitation, the pug immediately expressed his allegiance, and the rest was not to ignore Zhao Hu and remain silent. It's an angry scolding.
For those who were unwilling to be loyal, Zhao Hu could only sigh and say, "Since you are still loyal to the original city lord, then I have no choice but to deal with you according to the conventions of the Southeast Peninsula." ”
According to the practice of the Southeast Peninsula, the whole clan was exterminated, and some retainers who could not give up their family affection changed their words.
Phil originally wanted to show loyalty and surrender, but he didn't expect Zhao Hu to not even persuade him, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed to allegiance. Like he said before, aren't allegiances to everyone allegiance? Anyway, it's just a subordinate.
The allegiance of Fell, the chief retainer, made the loyal retainer jump and curse viciously, but it still set an example to make some people change their minds.
In the end, dozens of die-hard retainers were executed by Zhao Hu's order, but only they themselves were executed, not their families. Zhao Hu did not have any psychological obstacles to the execution of such people, and in these years, the troubles of these die-hard enemies should be solved as soon as possible, because it is a waste of food and energy to keep them, and I am afraid that they will find trouble at any time.
However, Zhao Hu obviously did not expect that the head of the family was executed without the extermination of the whole clan like this, and the son of the head of the family could be loyal to the new lord without any guilt, which was Zhao Hu only realized that he could not look at the people and things of the Southeast Peninsula according to his past habits after learning that there were relatives of the executed among the retainers who were loyal to him.
Zhao Hu also knew a strange thing about the Southeast Peninsula, that is, if the father and son were loyal to two objects respectively, once the war started, they could actually kill their relatives, this behavior would definitely be cursed and condemned and punished in the empire, but it would be praised and rewarded here.
"Okay, since you're loyal to me, let's go back to your respective posts." After settling this group of retainers, Zhao Hu waved his hand, and a vote of retainers immediately saluted and retired. Now they are at ease, now that the new master has accepted him, the gang of rogues will not dare to mess around, and their family business can be protected.
