Chapter 170: Retreat

Half of the reason why Deng Maoqi raised the army was also because he knew some secrets, for the person he respected the most in his life, and the other half was naturally because of the tyrannical expropriation of officials appointed by the imperial court in Fujian......

However, at this moment, this old man is not long dying, and half of his motivation to raise troops has turned into ashes......

What else do you want to do with the army? Even if you take a few cities with your own men, what is the use?

Deng Maoqi was a little irritable, he frowned, raised his eyes to look at Wu Du, who was talking in front of him, and said solemnly: "How are the men and horses on our side prepared?" ”

Wu Du only noticed the unhappiness in Deng Maoqi's heart at this moment, so he immediately stopped repeating it: "The seven hundred people led by Chen Jianhu have been scattered into various ranks, and now the morale of the soldiers is high, and they vow to break the encirclement network of the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop......"

Deng Maoqi took out a sealed letter from his arms and gently placed it on the table in front of him, his eyes quietly looking at the handwriting on it.

"Ten days later, I will open ......" Deng Maoqi looked sideways at the conditions attached to the letterhead, and muttered: "Why do you want me to open it after ten days?" ”

Looking at this letter, he thought of the old man in his old age, and after muttering for a long time, he finally sighed: "That's it......"

"Bulldoze the King?" Wu Du bowed slightly, observing the expression of the man in front of him, and had some doubts in his heart.

"Let's retreat east." Deng Maoqi took a deep breath, stepped on the chair with two muddy feet, and curled up his whole body on the huge official hat chair, his tone was a little uneasy: "I don't want to fight now, I'm a little tired." ”

"What?" Wu Du's eyes widened in astonishment, but before you made a decision, you wanted to fight first, and try the plan of the officers and soldiers! Now that everyone is ready, you suddenly have such a hand......

Wu Du opened his mouth and before he could speak, he heard hurried footsteps in front of the door, and then a scholar in Tsing Yi walked in.

"Bulldoze the King!" As soon as Chen Jianhu entered the room, he knelt on the ground, bowed and saluted: "I heard that the king of razor has returned, and I am afraid that the king needs to be consulted for something......

"Get out." Deng Maoqi frowned and said coldly.

Chen Jianhu was stunned, where did he have the status of Wu Capital in this army, naturally no one informed him of the news of Deng Maoqi's return, and when he learned the news, King Pingping had already swaggered in the middle of the hall.

But since Chen Jianhu was able to mix like a fish in water in Ye Zongliu's team, he naturally also had the credit for his shameless specialty, so at this moment, when he heard that Deng Maoqi had returned, he hurried over.

But...... Now that I've just come to visit, what do you mean by calling me out?

Chen Jianhu looked at Wu Du slightly, but when he saw that the other party showed a trace of a smile contemptuously at him, his heart suddenly sank - Deng Maoqi's attitude towards himself just after he came back must be Wu Du...... Looks like we're going to have to get rid of this damn old man.

Thinking of this, he stopped talking, leaned over to Deng Maoqi again, and bowed out of the hall without saying a word......

After scolding Chen Jianhu out of the lobby, Deng Maoqi closed his eyes slightly, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Du and said, "Go out." ”

"Bulldoze the King?" Wu Du was also a little overwhelmed for a while.

Deng Maoqi closed his eyes again, and his voice was muffled: "Tell me to go down, let's leave for the east tonight, and you xi in the small city in the east may be able to replenish the grain and grass......

"Yes......" Wu Du hesitated for a moment, then arched his hand and respectfully exited the door.

Where would Wu Du know about the deep relationship between Deng Maoqi and King Xiao Ming?

In fact, Deng Maoqi was an orphan, and since he was a child, he fought with beggars on the street for food, and later had occasional encounters and learned some martial arts, so he often made a living by selling art on the rivers and lakes.

When Deng Maoqi was just able to eat enough, suddenly a scholar surnamed Huang moved next to his home, this scholar was generous, and his knowledge and knowledge were extraordinary, and Deng Maoqi often followed this scholar surnamed Huang since then......

Although Wu Du knew that Deng Maoqi had a great relationship with the sect leader, he didn't know that King Xiao Ming was now terminally ill.

In fact, the level of the sect leader's body and martial arts is a secret that only a few people can know in the entire White Lotus Sect.

Wu Du once went to Zhenlong Village, but he didn't answer the question from King Xiao Ming, so he didn't see him in person in the end, so naturally he didn't know the specific situation of King Xiao Ming.

Chen Jian walked out of the county hall in a huff, he only felt that he had been greatly humiliated - no matter how arrogant Ye Zongliu was before, even if he was acting, he could maintain the most basic respect for himself, but now......

Deng Maoqi, the so-called king of bulldozing, would speak ill of himself, and even directly told himself to get out.

He Deng Maoqi really thought that he had become a force that could compete with the imperial court?

In front of the county hall, many people were waiting to meet Deng Maoqi in person, asking the king of the bulldozer, who had been away for a few days, for the next order......

Among them is also his own soldier Shi Xing, who is standing not far away, and after seeing himself, he probes his brain, as if he wants to say something.

Chen Jianhu raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, and then waved his finger to the ground, Shi Xing nodded knowingly, and after carefully saying goodbye to the people around him, he went around to the other direction of the county office.

The county government is located in the middle of the county seat of Shaxian County, and Dingxi Street and Wendong Lane are located on the east and west sides of the county government respectively.

At this moment, Chen Jianhu was quietly pestle in front of an abandoned mansion in Wendong Lane.

In a few moments, Shi Xing had already walked into the alley, and he whistled and pretended to wander past Chen Jianhu.

Chen Jianhu also took a step back as if he didn't know each other, and retreated his whole body into the chaimen.

After about a quarter of an hour, the noon sun became thicker, and the unobstructed sunlight made passers-by feel that they could not even open their eyes, and even the sea breeze seemed hot and dry.

Shi Xing seemed to inadvertently pass by this alley again, and as he walked, the thin man's body flashed and entered the small courtyard.

"Strategist." Shi Xing arched his hand towards the darkness.

"How's it going?" Chen Jianhu walked out of the darkness, his face numb like a puppet, and he didn't have the slightest emotion at all.

Shi Xing scratched his head and lowered his voice and said: "I have already contacted Song Rong and Song Zhuang and their two brothers, they have already joined the sect a few years ago, and they are even more loyal to the king, they originally wanted to fight to the death when they were in Guancun, they listened to me to do things, and they didn't think about other ...... at all."
