Chapter 43: Quelling the Chaos (End)
In Jiankang City, in the Wenkang Fang near the palace, Xu Wangrong's outer house has been surrounded by a large group of forbidden soldiers and horses, and behind the infantry army with torches, more than 100 cavalry surrounded a young officer, pointing at the house.
Liu Yu rode over slowly, behind him was Jiang Cai, and the inseparable follower Xiao Lori. Mao Shixiong was tied behind his back on a short horse, his severed arm had been wrapped, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were carrying several carts at the rear.
"Brother Yu, how did you get to this Jiankang City, how did you get faster than Jiang Dutong's cavalry, and it made me rush for a while." Finally found a gap, and little Lori hurriedly asked the question in her heart.
"Want to know?" Liu Yu looked back at her and was a little moved.
"Uh-huh, tell me about it." Lori's appetite was hung up.
"Well, I won't sue you, haha!" Liu Yu smiled and drove the horse away, leaving Xiao Lori with an angry look, and Jiang Cai on the side couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it in his eyes.
Xu Wangrong stood under the eaves and looked at the fire behind the courtyard wall, and there was not much dejection on his face. So far, he has no regrets, the only pity is that he did not make up his mind to take the Commander's Mansion first. Now there is only Yuan Hong's family in his hand, and he is not sure how heavy this chip is.
The woman behind him was holding his young son with a pale face, but he didn't dare to say a word, the infant child had already fallen asleep, Xu Wangrong looked at his only son, and his thick face also showed a soft color.
"I will exchange that family for your mother and son's life, most of this house can't be saved, bring as much gold and silver as possible, and after leaving the city, go directly across the river to your ancestor's house." If the sky is pitiful, let a certain person have a pillar of incense left in the world, and a certain person will be rewarded for being a cow and a horse in the next life. ”
Xu Wangrong's words shocked the woman to stagger, this world, in a chaotic situation, asked her how to survive as a woman with a young son. Xu Wangrong held her and waved his hand to prevent her from speaking, the matter was no longer in his hands, and it was unknown whether people outside the mansion could agree to this condition, Yuan Hong was just a general judge in this city.
"Xu Wangrong, a certain is the new Taishou of this Jiankang Mansion, your two brothers have already seen it, but you only hear it, and you don't want to knock on the door, how about you come out and see it yourself?" Liu Yu's voice was amplified by the loudspeaker and came into the house, and it was clearly heard in Xu Wangrong's ears.
Xu Wangrong's expression wavered, he was afraid that after he went out, the forbidden army outside would directly do it and not give him a chance to speak. Just as he was thinking about it, two spherical objects were thrown in from outside the courtyard wall and rolled straight to the bottom of the steps, Xu Wangrong was stunned, it was the head of the third Weng Fu and the deputy capital of Na Lin, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Waving his hand to stop the soldiers from following, Xu Wangrong walked out alone with a big knife, and the door of the house opened, only to see that the outside was illuminated by torches. After a circle of infantry, a young man dressed as a civilian officer sat upright on a horse, holding a trumpet-shaped object, and looked at him curiously.
Of the three brothers, Mao Shixiong almost killed himself, and Weng Fu almost drove himself into a dead end. This eldest brother was called a brave person by Liu Shiyong, who dared to fight, Liu Yu didn't dare to imagine how strong he would be, and he really deserved to be the people who left their names in the history books, and they were all not easy to get along.
"Too Shou please, Xu knows that he can't escape death, before he dies, he wants to make a deal with Taishou, I don't know if it's possible." Xu Wangrong held the handle of the knife and arched his hand towards Liu Yu and said.
"I want to hear about it." It is impossible to let this person go, Liu Yu will not do the thing of returning to the mountain, and if he takes refuge in the Yuan people, then the reality of Jiankang City will be before the Yuan people. However, Yuan Hong's family can't help it, Liu Yu only hopes that he won't say excessive conditions.
"If Taishou agrees, and wants to use Yuan Tong to sentence his family in exchange for his own family's life, and he himself will be handed over to Taishou to deal with, what if he is too shou?" Xu Wangrong was not verbose, and directly put forward his own conditions.
"Then the Yuan family is good, you don't do any harm." Liu Yu didn't know about the hostages, so he didn't dare to agree rashly.
"I have already ordered the people below not to hurt the Yuan family, if you don't believe it, you can send someone inside to take a look." Xu Wangrong said that if it weren't for this order, he might have been covered with corpses all over the field by now.
Liu Yu waved his hand at the sergeant below, and a forbidden soldier with a torch ran into the house, but after a while, he ran out and nodded at him.
"In this case, you ordered your subordinates to lay down their weapons and send Yuan Tong's family out, and I promised you that I would not hurt your family's life. As for you, the court has its own laws, and you can't blame the officials. Seeing that the hostages were safe, Liu Yu also relieved his heart.
"There is a woman in the courtyard with a young son, and I beg the Taishou to be gracious and let her leave the city first, and I will hand over the Yuan family immediately." Seeing that Liu Yu only promised not to hurt his life, Xu Wangrong hoped to keep the mother and son safe first.
"Do you believe in this official? If the official has the intention to cause harm, how far do you think the woman and her young son will be able to escape even if they leave the city? Liu Yu was a little displeased when he saw him suddenly change his words.
"Becoming a king and defeating a coward, Xu's death is not a pity, the poor child is innocent, and I hope to be too gracious." Xu Wangrong said miserably.
"Innocent? Do you know how many innocent people you have harmed, show him what you have done? Under Liu Yu's signal, several forbidden soldiers rode out, and when they arrived in front of Xu Wangrong, they immediately unfolded a scroll of pictures.
Xu Wangrong looked at these lifelike color images, his face kept changing, these are the pictures that Liu Yu asked Su Weips to have, after being magnified several times, it added to the shocking power in this time and space.
"Do you know where this is, Wuhu County, Taiping Prefecture, more than 80,000 people, how many such children. Look clearly, this is the master you want to take refuge into, and you dare to say that your childish son is innocent? Liu Yu's words hit Xu Wangrong's heart like a giant hammer.
"Xu Wangrong, I know that you have some brute strength, and I bet with you, if you win, I will let the mother and son leave the city according to your words, and I will never harm you. If you lose, hand over that family, and before you tie up the army, do you dare? Seeing that Xu Wangrong was silent, Jiang Cai spoke.
When Liu Yu heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to signal that he couldn't, just kidding, this Xu Wangrong does have some ability, the two compete, in case there is a good one, Jiang Cai is injured, let the mother and son be small, and lose a general, what should Liu Yu do. Jiang Cai gave him a reassuring look, and Liu Yu was slightly relieved.
"Please advise the General." Xu Wangrong was still very confident in his own force, and when he heard this, he hugged Jiang Cai's fist.
"Immediately hold the gun, you are not an enemy of a certain combination, and a certain will not take advantage of you, so I will fight with you for this knife technique." Jiang Cai jumped off the horse, pulled out his knife and walked to the front, and everyone retreated, leaving a field for the two.
Although the opponent was holding just an ordinary bending knife, Xu Wangrong did not dare to underestimate it, he raised the knife and circled around Jiang Cai for half a circle, and suddenly let out a loud roar, the big knife slashed out from above, the knife wind split into the air, Jiang Cai's figure flashed, but Xu Wangrong's big knife turned in a direction in the middle of the way, chasing Jiang Cai sideways.
Jiang Cai frustrated his back swing, the big knife almost swept past the bridge of his nose, and before he could get to his feet, Jiang Cai had already jumped up and turned around a half and came behind Xu Wangrong, and the bending knife in his right hand flipped over and put it on his shoulder.
"The general is a good skill, and he lost." Xu Wangrong sighed and threw down the big knife. Liu Yu waved his hand, and the sergeants rushed into the house together, controlling all the soldiers and family members.
"I know, in this Jiankang City, in addition to the three of you, there are still other people involved, so now, do you still want to hide it for him?" Seeing that Xu Wangrong was tied up, Liu Yu asked on the horse.
Xu Wangrong's heart was like ashes, and when he saw Liu Yu asking, he poured beans into a bamboo bucket and summoned Huang Yuanwai and others. Liu Yu nodded, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the inner city.
In Jiankang City, the operation to pursue and suppress sporadic rebels continued, except for Xu Wangrong, the homes of Mao Weng and his family were also seized, and his family members were taken into custody. On the streets, a group of cavalry galloped by, rushing to the homes of the various families involved in the rebellion, and the common people hid behind their homes to observe this qiē, for them, it was just another after-dinner conversation.
