The news soon came back, and Maude, who got the news, was startled, turned his head to look around, Zhou Wen didn't know where to run, and he didn't dare to let the lord come in without waiting for the whole city to control it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info turned his head to look at Ju'an beside him, Maude's heart moved, and it was also a good way to use this credit to win over a general with troops.

Hearing Jian Maud muttering in his ear, Juan immediately lost his voice and exclaimed, "What? The retainers of Qingmen City actually thought that the army of our lord belonged to their young master? How could this battle be seen as a civil war?

"How could they be so stupid? Even the city has been occupied, and it is not even clear who the enemy is! ”

"This is not because of the wisdom of the lords, but also because the armies are swift and brave in battle. However, if these surrendered retainers know the truth, I am afraid that they will cause trouble.

"Why don't we use the name of their young master, gather them over, and then catch them all?" Maude suggested.

He also noticed the address to Zhao Hu at first, but after realizing that Ju'an's status was not as good as Zhao Hu's personal guard, he couldn't help but want to show that his status was higher than him.

"My lord?" Juan was stunned for a moment, but pretended not to hear, and said with a little embarrassed face: "This... Doesn't it seem appropriate to have an order from an adult? ”

"Hey, aren't we doing this for the sake of the lord? Besides, we are just guarding them, and even if the lord continues to appoint them, we will not be offended by doing so. If you are afraid of taking responsibility, brother, you just need to send troops to cooperate, and your merits are indispensable. ”

As she said this, Maude muttered to herself: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu's lack of troops, he wouldn't have bothered to pull you to share his exploits." ”

Hearing Maude say this, Juan immediately nodded in agreement, but sneered in his heart: "Hehe, in this way, I will be invincible no matter what." ”

With the support of manpower, Maude immediately took action, and those retainers of Qingmen City heard the summons of the young master, and did not think about it, and immediately put down the matter at hand and ran, lest they would end up with a bad impression if they were late.

Unexpectedly, after everyone gathered in a house, they were surrounded by Maude and led by the troops, and they were all under house arrest.

The city was generally stable, and Zhao Hu came over slowly with his personal guards, Kaihai immediately threw away his subordinates and followed, not to mention Nangong Bing, who couldn't leave an inch. As for the cavalry, they continued to monitor the surroundings of Bright Moon City to avoid the sudden appearance of enemy reinforcements.

As Zhao Hu approached, he found that the city wall was only made of stones on the surface, and there was still dirt inside, no wonder such a small stone catapult could smash the city wall.

At first, I wondered why the walls of Mingyue City were so useless, and it seemed that there was a lack of stones on the southeast peninsula.

When passing through the city gate, Zhao Hu took a look at the city gate, this city gate is not big, at most it allows two carriages to go side by side, compared with the city gate of the imperial capital, it is simply a rat hole, and it is no wonder that fifty or sixty thousand catties of brass can cast an all-copper gate.

Touching the city gate, Zhao Hu couldn't understand how these 50,000 or 60,000 catties of brass could be exchanged for more than 200,000 gold coins? Did Sun Jie miscalculate?

You must know that in the empire, a pound of brass is worth two or three silver coins at most, and these fifty or sixty thousand catties of brass are only exchanged for about 10,000 gold coins.

Just think about it, spending so many gold coins to make a city gate is really extravagant, even the amazing huge city gate of the imperial capital is not that expensive. However, this also shows that there are a lot of copper mines on the southeast peninsula.

I wonder if the profits from converting coins back and forth between the empire and the Southeast Peninsula will be able to support the operation of my territory? Zhao Hu, who didn't know how much profit he could make from currency exchange, had a small desire to rely on this profit to maintain the operation of his territory.

Through the city gate, Zhao Hu immediately saw the castle tower with red rooftops, flames and smoke.

Seeing this building with a base of stones, but all of them made of wood, Zhao Hu shook his head.

The building looks beautiful, but its defense is so poor that it may be able to block the rockets, and it will definitely not be able to resist the catapults, and it may be even better if you replace the stones with oil cans and throw them.

But when I think that the outer city is broken, the inner city is useless, and the inner city is so beautiful and beautiful? It's no wonder.

Seeing Zhao Hu entering the city, the leaders of the rogue were busy telling their cronies to take care of the soldiers, so they hurriedly ran behind Zhao Hu's buttocks. Now is the time for the lord to enter the inner city to take over all the power of this city, and he who has never entered the inner city can't waste this great opportunity!

You must know that if you are not summoned in the future, you will not be able to enter the inner city at all, and you will not be able to look around when you enter the inner city at that time, and you can only see it carefully now.

Seeing these retainers, Zhao Hu smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, pass on the order, and the whole army will be rewarded, two gold coins per person." ”

Knowing that gold coins are very valuable on the Southeast Peninsula, Zhao Hu gave this reward, otherwise it would be a reward of ten gold coins.

Of course, this order was reached to everyone's ears as fast as possible, and the cheers immediately resounded in the sky.

The loud shout immediately woke up Sun Jie, who was dazzled by the selection of many beauties.

Sun Jie listened to it, and a cold sweat immediately broke out, the adults have entered the city, what are you doing? When an adult asks about the situation, how do you answer?

Sun Jie, who was burning his eyebrows, immediately ran out to greet people, leaving Zhou Wen alone there to continue to choose beauties with great interest.

Maude and Juan, the two clever people, rushed over when Zhao Hu stepped into the city gate.

Seeing these two people, Zhao Hu asked Yu An directly: "How is it, have you already sent troops to take over the stronghold in the city?" "In any case, Zhao Hu is still more dependent on the territorial militia at present, they are imperial soldiers like himself, and their discipline is much better than that of the rogue.

"My lord, my subordinates have sent people to take control of the warehouses, but since there is no order from you, they have not carried out an inventory." Juan said with a normal face.

However, Maude, who was behind him, noticed that the guy was gesturing to his subordinates covertly. Seeing one of Juan's subordinates sneaking someone away, Maude woke up to the fact that this guy was actually doing what he said he was doing! Isn't this a clear deception of our father-in-law?

Maude's mouth opened for a moment and she wanted to say something, but when she saw Juan's eyes towards her and understood that this was a betrayal, she didn't say anything.

Zhao Hu, who didn't know that his subordinates had joined forces to conceal things, just nodded, but even if Yu An replied that he didn't control the stronghold, Zhao Hu would not care, after all, he didn't attack Mingyue City to rob supplies.

"My lord, the fire in the castle tower has been extinguished, and the people of the inner city are waiting for your reception." Maud said busily changing the subject.

He saw that Zhou Wen and the others did not live by Zhao Hu's side, and he didn't react to the temptation of Juan just now, so he began to become more and more bold, and directly called Zhao Hu the lord in front of Juan.

Juan paid attention to Zhao Hu as soon as he said Maude, and when he saw Zhao Hu's accustomed appearance to this title, his heart trembled, but his face did not change much.

In fact, Zhao Hu was also used to these retainers, although those retainers were warned, but they always thought that the courtesy was not to blame, and Zhao Hu, who was annoyed, had no choice, after all, he couldn't remind them to call himself an adult every time he had a conversation, right? Zhao Hu really didn't think about executing them for this issue.

When Zhao Hu heard this, he looked at the side of the castle tower and found that the flames were gone, only black smoke was rising, and he couldn't help asking, "What?" Didn't you take the inner city? ”

Maude hurriedly said with a serious face: "Lord, this inner city is the place where all the important wealth and information of Qingmen City are stored, and only you can receive it in person, and we, who are ministers, keep the true colors of our courtiers, and dare not offend the majesty of the lord and step into the inner city." ”

The other retainers nodded yes one after another, which made Zhao Hu stunned for a moment, he realized that on the Southeast Peninsula, the status of this inner city was similar to that of the imperial palace, and he was not allowed to enter it casually.

But in that case, how did they get the native soldiers guarding the inner city to surrender?

Zhao Hu didn't ask this question, he didn't bother to care so much, since they let him receive it, then go and receive it. So he led the group into the inner city.

Zhao Hu admired the peculiar architectural style, but what made Zhao Hu feel strange was that the enemy troops who were defending the city were still holding weapons and guarding their posts, but the object of allegiance was replaced by Zhao Hu.

What's even more strange is that his subordinates are not surprised by such a situation, but they really regard these surrendered troops as their own people and relax their vigilance, and they are not afraid that they will fight back and destroy themselves.

Of course, Zhao Hu also noticed that these soldiers looked at him with surprise in their eyes, as if they were surprised that the leader figure was himself, but they were just surprised and continued to accompany their duties.

This sudden coup allegiance to the target, and the lack of loyalty to serve the new master, made Zhao Hu not understand what kind of education these soldiers received.

Zhao Hu never expected that after the retainers of Mingyue City issued an order to obey the new family master, they would be placed under house arrest by Maude.

Therefore, although these soldiers defending the city wondered why the one who was in charge of the people who entered the inner city was not the young master, because the order had been given, they did not care.

Maude, these rogue guys don't know how to go at all, and a group of people are going around in circles around the castle tower, because this castle tower is a bit perverted, there are many gates, and they have drilled several gates, and they find that they are all dead ends!

The Nangong soldiers realized this, smiled secretly, and then said softly: "Lord, Your Majesty has been to the inner city once, please let Your Majesty lead the way for your Lord." ”

Nangong Bing's words of course attracted a strange gaze, and no one objected.
