Listening to the sound of firearms shooting like fried beans outside, Xiucaigong took out a rattan armor from a camphor wood box in the house.

This rattan armor was given to him by a tribal elder not long after he arrived in Shuixi to thank him for helping the tribe settle accounts.

Although he felt that this rattan armor might not be able to stop the celebrity's fire, after wearing it, his heart was a little more steady.

Xiucai Gong had already thought about it, before the Ming army attacked, he would stay in this house and not go anywhere, and when the war was settled, he would go out to surrender.

Anyway, he is just a bookkeeper, and he hasn't done anything bad for An Bangyan and Hao Chongming, and he is a talent, so presumably those red guys won't do anything to him.

As soon as he had made up his mind to hide under the wooden bed, there was a knock on the door.

'The officers and troops won't attack so quickly, will they?' ’

The frightened Xiucai Gong didn't dare to come out, but the knock on the door became louder and louder.

"Zhang Xiucai, Zhang Xiucai, are you in the house?"

A familiar voice came, and Xiucai knew that this was a personal guard beside Yu Chongming.

It should be that the traitor of Yu Chongming is looking for himself again, and it seems impossible to hide until the Ming army attacks, if he doesn't go out, it is estimated that he will be killed by venting his anger before the Ming army attacked. ’

Zhang Xiucai thought about it and hurriedly crawled out from under the bed.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Zhang Xiucai opened the door and saw the guard looking at him angrily.

"It's grinding, it's all burning eyebrows, hurry up and follow me."

The guard dragged Zhang Xiucai out of the door with a hard pull, and then pushed and shoved Zhang Xiucai into the Chengtian Palace.

'A barbarian is a barbarian, it's really Sven sweeping the floor! ’

was pushed by the guard, his clothes were a little untidy, Zhang Xiucai was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent, so he had to slander silently in his heart.

But when he came to the Chengtian Palace, Zhang Xiucai was stunned.

I saw that the elders of all the departments in the hall were there, and Yu Chongming was sitting in the middle, and at his feet, there was a human head, it seemed that the blood stains had dried up, it should have been cut for a long time, but I don't know why it was still here.

Since the defeat of Hao Chongming and his return to Shuixi, in order to suppress the various departments, beheadings have happened from time to time, although Zhang Xiucai is a cultural person, he is still used to seeing how much he has grown.

However, when Zhang Xiucai took a closer look at the head, it was a little black in front of him, and the head was not someone else's, it was the clan elder who gave him the rattan armor.

Compared with other elders, the elder is a man who likes Han culture, and sometimes calls Zhang Xiucai over to play a few games of Go or something.

Zhang Xiucai saw him yesterday, but he didn't think that there would be only one head left today.

However, Yu Chongming didn't care about Zhang Xiucai's timidity, and after ordering him to go out of the village and surrender again, he drove out Zhang Xiucai, who was a little out of his mind.

Because this time the matter was urgent, and before the battle of the Ming army, Zhang Xiucai was only put down with a hanging basket on the pass, so after Zhang Xiucai got rid of the wall, the idea of taking the opportunity to escape was settled.

So, after explaining what Yu Chongming asked him to bring to the Ming army, without waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to ask again, Zhang Xiucai knelt down straight, and then burst into tears.

"The official helps, ask the official to help!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Tengjiao, Li Tengjiao looked innocent, hugged his fist at Lu Xiangsheng, and said that he didn't know what the situation was.

Faced with the sudden movement of the envoy, Lu Xiangsheng was also a little confused, and for the sake of prudence, he still asked the guards to take him down and torture him, so as not to rashly show favor and be attacked by the messenger at close quarters.

It didn't take a quarter of an hour for the guards to come in and tell Zhang Xiucai's confession.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he smiled awkwardly, so he ordered someone to bring this unlucky Xiucai in.

"It's not bad to know that you're lost, it's not bad, you haven't insulted the teachings of the saints, but you've seen it, and you've turned against it.

Based on this Xiucai's self-report, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, but the guard, who was longer than torturing the prisoners, stepped forward and said that it should not be false.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't think that this somewhat timid showman would make a fuss, but he still had to do it by taking the opportunity to knock a few words and get some useful information out of his mouth.

Without waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to ask again, this Xiucai told him about the situation in the village, and for fear that the coach would be unhappy if he didn't say it in detail, his mouth didn't stop until Lu Xiangsheng heard a useful information.

"What? Are you saying that Yu Chongming beheaded a tribal elder last night? ”

Able to arouse Lu Xiangsheng's interest, Zhang Xiucai's originally somewhat dim eyes lit up, and he hurriedly retold the scene he had seen before.

In addition, by the way, he also told some rumors that he had heard in the village.

But Lu Xiangsheng didn't care about that information.

Yu Chongming's killing last night must have been to stabilize people's hearts, and it seems that some people are tempted by the conditions they put forward yesterday.

After escorting Zhang Xiucai down, Lu Xiangsheng summed up with several staff officers, and then sent a loud voice to the pass.

"Dare to let the elders in the village know that the marshal of my family only led An Wei and extravagant Chongming into the capital to ask for surrender, and if the rest of the people can help the officials and soldiers capture these two thieves, not only will they be not guilty, but they will also be rewarded."

A few loud men held a few loudspeakers rolled into iron sheets and shouted at Guan Pass.

The principle of sound propagation, Zhu Youzhen also popularized it to martial arts students, and this kind of megaphone used during the march was used to shout at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know if there was one, but why not disturb the hearts of the people in the village and increase the probability of winning for the partial division.

At this time, on the back mountain, the Ming army had quietly climbed over the top of the mountain, and slowly moved down the mountain under the cover of the woods.

At this time, although the village could not hear the shouts of the Ming army very clearly, the news that the Ming army had encouraged the elders in the village to rebel had already reached the Chengtian Palace, and the atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense.

I haven't slept all night, Luxe Chongming's eyes are a little bloodshot, and his expression at this time is also a little hideous, and the elders in the hall are no better, the elders' heads are still at the feet of Luxury Chongming, and the elders are timid at the same time, they also hate Luxury Chongming.

Everyone did not speak, and the atmosphere in the hall was unusually strange, like the calm before the storm, and the depressed people could not breathe.

But at this moment, a loud noise came from behind the village, and before everyone could react from the nervous state, one of them staggered into the hall, shouting as he ran.

"Oh no, no, the Ming army is attacking from behind the mountain!"
