Chapter Twenty-Nine: Returning Home (Part 3)
Under the indestructible sword aura of the Kunwu Sword, Sun Kang's steel and iron body couldn't bear it, with a thud, blood splashed, this bandit leader whose strength had reached the peak of the seventh layer of training strength finally recovered from the sharp pain in his mind before he died, he looked at Gao Cheng and just wanted to say something, the sword qi exploded in his body, and he didn't even have time to say his last words and cruel words. The body fell directly to the ground.
Mi Fang finally got out of Sun Kang's hands, he coughed a few times in a row, and then saw the little sister beside him with a dumbfounded look, as if she hadn't made any sound since Master Lou was killed.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Mi Fang's expression changed, and she hurriedly checked the little girl's body, she was not injured, but was frightened by the continuous killing just now. At this time, when he heard the voice of concern of the second brother, he slowly regained consciousness, and suddenly his little face turned white, and he looked at Sun Kang, who was not far away, and hugged the second brother in great panic and cried loudly, with a pitiful appearance of pear blossoms and rain.
"Second son, don't worry too much, she's just scared too much, just go back and have a good rest. Gao Cheng said.
Although Mi Fang's strength is not very good, he dares to risk his life for his little sister, and he still has some courage. Gao Cheng couldn't help but have a good impression of him in his eyes.
According to the timeline that Gao Cheng knew, the eldest lady of the Mi family, who became the wife of Liu Bei's uncle Liu Huang, is still just a little girl carved in pink, and I don't know if the Mi family will have contact with Liu Bei in this world.
Mi Fang repeatedly confirmed the safety of the little sister, and then turned around and bowed deeply to Gao Cheng, and said with great gratitude: "Thank you brother for coming to the rescue, Mi Fang is grateful, I don't know my brother's surname, and the little brother will go to thank you in the future!"
Gao Cheng smiled faintly, put the Kunwu sword into the scabbard, and said: "In Xia Guangling Gao Cheng, I was entrusted by Brother Zizhong to come here, the second son doesn't have to be polite, if there is nothing wrong, it is better to leave here as soon as possible!"
Mi Fang nodded again and again when he heard this, and at this time there was a roar outside, Pei Yuanshao and Mi Ying killed the bandit formation, and defeated thousands of bandits with five hundred soldiers and horses, and then the two hurriedly gathered the remaining guards and came to the Buddhist temple.
"Second son, miss, it's great that you're okay!" Mi Ying breathed a sigh of relief, there were no accidents this time, and there were no injuries on both the second son and the young lady. It was really a wise choice to ask Gao Cheng to make a move this time.
Gao Tai came over quietly at this time and said softly: "Childe, in addition to the thousands of bandits who escaped and died in battle, there are more than a thousand prisoners, what to do with these people?"
His current meaning was to ask Gao Cheng if he wanted to continue to collect the displaced people and bring them to Guangling, after all, only if there were more slaves and soldiers, could he support the foundation of a family. Even if they were not brought back, it would be a great fortune to sell these captives as slaves.
Gao Cheng understood what he meant, and also said in a low voice: "We still have hundreds of acres of land and a farm in Huai'an City, and there is no income other than these, so we can't collect too many slaves and domestic soldiers, so let these people be dealt with by the Mi family." ”
"The Kunwu sword given to me by the eldest prince of the Mi clan is worth a thousand gold, and the benefits for us are enough, don't worry about them about this little thing!"
The two of them spoke in very small voices, except for Pei Yuanshao next to them, they did not attract the attention of others, Mi Fang had many guards around at this time, and he recovered the temperament of a wealthy family.
He glanced at the corpse of Master Lou who had been killed just now, sighed and said: "Mi Ying, you take someone to collect the bodies of Master Lou and the guards, they will not hesitate to die for the Mi family, and when they return to Xiapi, the Mi family will definitely bury them, as well as their families, and there will be Mi families to raise them in the future!"
In this world, the lives of slaves and guards are not worth anything to the wealthy family, including Master Lou who died in battle, he is also a head who teaches fist and foot kung fu in the Mi family, since he serves the Mi family, even if he dies in battle, his family also takes it for granted. If you eat someone else's food, you have to die for someone else, and it is right.
When Master Lou died in battle, his family had nothing to do with the Mi family. Therefore, after the other guards and Mi Ying heard the words of the second son, they immediately boiled, and after they died in battle, their families could still be raised by the Mi family, which was really a benevolent and righteous move.
Although Mi Fang is young, after all, he has received the elite education of the family since he was a child, and in just two sentences, he has reinvigorated the guards who have suffered heavy losses, and what he has paid is just some money, and for the Mi family, who has hundreds of millions of money, it is easy to raise dozens of guards.
Mi Ying led people to clean up the corpses of the guards who died in battle, and Gao Cheng took Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Tai over to prepare to say goodbye to everyone. "Second son, now that you are out of danger, I have also completed the entrustment of Brother Zizhong, so I will leave, see you in the future if you have the chance!"
After speaking, the three of them didn't stay here for long, they carried the lance and flew on their horses, and galloped in the direction where Zhang Chen and Zhou Cang were. Soon disappeared in Jiufeng Mountain.
......
Five days later, outside a huge city wall, several carriages carrying a lot of supplies, escorted by more than 300 elite soldiers, slowly moved forward. Go in the direction of the city gate. Gao Cheng and his subordinates traveled thousands of miles, and finally returned to the base of the Gao clan in Guangling, Huai'an County, Guangling County.
The south of this city is close to the White Horse Lake, directly leading to the Yangtze River, which is densely populated by vehicles and boats from north to south, and is one of the most prosperous places in the Jianghuai region. The status of Guangling County is second only to Guangling City.
"I remember that Huai'an County seems to have been changed to Ping'an County in the future, but it doesn't matter what the name of the city is, the first thing to do now is to settle these soldiers and slaves!"
With a place to settle down, these soldiers and slaves can be completely at ease, just like a big tree finally has a root system, and there is no need to worry about continuing to live that wandering life. Even Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao had a little expectation on their faces.
"The people in front of me stop, where did you come from the caravan, pay the city tax before entering the city!" A group of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate saw the convoy coming slowly, and their spirits were shocked, and one of the city gate officials rushed over with a dozen soldiers.
Recently, there have been several waves of fierce water thieves in Baima Lake, who have plundered merchant ships, causing many caravans and cargo ships to change their routes and go north from the direction of Hongze Lake in the west. Affected by this, there has been no large caravan passing by in Huai'an City for a long time, and without a caravan, the soldiers guarding the city have much less oil and water.
That's why when Gao Cheng arrived with several carriages, these officers and soldiers were so excited.
Gao Cheng grabbed the reins and swept his gaze over the officers and soldiers in front of him, these people were also soldiers who had been in the battle formation for a long time, only the city gate officer still had some strength, and he had reached the third level of training.
His face moved, he recognized this city gate official, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Zizheng, don't come here for a long time!"
