Chapter 166: Unexpected News
In the cell, a disgusting smell of decay permeated the gloomy air, making everyone who came in want to hold their breath.
Through the gaps in the railings of the basement windows, you can see the strong sunlight outside, and countless dust drifting in the air, as illusory as a dream.
However, in the prison at this moment, the light is destined to not shine through.
A few simple candlesticks in the corners brought a faint light to the darkness, revealing the figure of the man in the middle of the room.
Tied to the wooden frame was the emaciated body of the old man, and although he was scarred, he could see a belief in his eyes that had never wavered since ancient times.
"Master Zhou, why are you doing this?"
A young man sat at a nearby table, drank a bowl of wine with his left hand, and looked at the old man tied to the wooden frame, and only sneered: "It's not a wise thing to do against the number of days!"
"With your Zhou Tong's skills, you should know what will happen if you go against Dajin!"
After the young man finished speaking, he saw that Zhou Tong still didn't say a word, just looked at him coldly, and suddenly stood up suddenly, and a nameless fire surged in his heart.
"Zhou Tong, I'll give you one last chance." The young man said in a cold tone: "To serve our Dajin, I, Zeng Kui, can also go to Zhennan Hou and our Zeng Sect Master to ask for spareness from death!"
Zhou Tong sneered, and just shouted in a low voice: "Boy, you are not qualified enough, go and let that scoundrel come out and speak!"
"You...... An old thing that doesn't know whether to live or die!"
Zeng Kui shouted, took the iron gun from the weapon rack on the side, and prepared to poke at Zhou Tong.
"Boom."
However, a voice sounded in front of him.
"Who told you to do it?"
The middle-aged man didn't know when he arrived in prison, he just snorted coldly and put down the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand.
The middle-aged man is about eight feet five or six tall, with a nose like an eagle's hook, a gloomy gaze, and his eyes seem calm, but they vaguely reveal an inexplicable chill.
"Teacher, it's the apprentice who is impulsive, and the apprentice is here to apologize!" Zeng Kui saw that Shi Wengong had come, so he hurriedly threw away the gun in his hand, knelt down on one knee, and trembled slightly in his tone.
"Get out."
Shi Wengong threw Fang Tian's halberd aside, pulled over a chair and sat down, put his right leg on the nearby weapon rack, and didn't bother to pay attention to Zeng Kui behind him.
The corners of Zeng Kui's mouth moved, but he still said goodbye and went to Zeng Lane to discuss the attack on Dongping City.
"Master, come down."
Shi Wengong fiddled with the tongs in front of him, but said indifferently.
"Shi Wengong, I, Zhou Tong, have such a scoundrel as you, I was really blind at the beginning!" Zhou Tong gritted his teeth stubbornly, and the green tendons all over his body were hideous: "You deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, how dare you let the old man surrender!"
"Hehe, Master, don't say it so ugly." Shi Wengong sneered: "It's good for you, what can you get in this mountain and old forest?" If you submit to Dajin, you will be a person who understands current affairs!"
"You brute, why don't you kill me now!" Zhou Tong roared wildly: "As long as the old man is still alive, he will definitely not let you go, a brute who destroys human nature!"
"Shut up!"
Shi Wengong suddenly roared like crazy: "If you didn't give me Wuhou's suicide note and meteorite marksmanship back then, how could you end up like today!"
"Lao Tzu has followed you to learn martial arts for more than ten years, and has always treated you as your own father, and you actually gave those two things to Yue Fei and Dong Ping!" Shi Wengong hissed and said, "You'd better trick those two boys now, or I'll abolish you!"
Zhou Tong didn't say a word, just looked at the madman in front of him with blood-red eyes, standing there like a wall.
"Okay, old thing, toast and don't eat and drink, right?" Shi Wengong stood up abruptly and sneered: "Lao Tzu will give you three months, and after three months, I will send troops to attack Dongping Mansion and arrest Dong Ping's kid first!"
"When the time comes, Lao Tzu is going to dismantle him and Yue Fei in front of you, let you see, those so-called genius apprentices you value are just some waste in front of me!"
After speaking, Shi Wengong turned around and strode out, swinging the halberd of Fang Tian in his hand, splitting the nearby weapon rack and beam in half.
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut, and the dungeon was plunged into deep darkness once more.
Ten days later, ten miles outside Dongping City, the training ground was located.
"Miss Nangong, is this really something you did these days?"
Dong Ping stood in front of the vehicle-mounted artillery, with a shocked look on his face.
I looked around, and I saw that at the junction between the body and the artillery, the base was made of steel!
Nangong Wei had been pestering Dong Ping to teach him how to make the Condor Crossbow a few days ago, and at that time, Dong Ping was thinking about how to improve the stability of the artillery.
Because she was unhappy at the time, Dong Ping gave her some modern steel and asked her to take a Condor crossbow to disassemble and study.
Unexpectedly, she has already completed the transformation of this vehicle-mounted artillery?
Even if you come by yourself, it is estimated that you won't be able to build this base in more than ten days!
"Alright, that's nothing." Nangong Wei pulled Dong Ping to a tree, took out a crossbow and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, look at it, has the Condor crossbow I made reached your level?"
As soon as the words fell, Nangong did not pull the trigger in his hand, only to hear a few wind flashes, and in the next moment, several black dots had shot out.
"Boom Boom ......"
No, Dong Ping's eyes shook suddenly, and at least twenty of the leaves in front of him had been nailed to the stone wall in the distance by crossbow arrows.
"What's wrong with you, Brother Dong." Nangong Wei raised his hand and shook it in front of Dong Ping, with a blank expression: "What are you looking at, so distracted?"
"Oh, nothing." Dong Ping smiled and said, "However, you are really a genius, so many powerful inventions, I never even thought of it."
"Bang-boom!"
Nangong Wei was about to speak, but was shocked by a loud sound of landslides and ground cracks coming from behind.
Dong Ping also looked back and saw that the artillery just now was emitting thick smoke at this time.
And a mountain of more than ten meters away suddenly collapsed completely under the bombardment of artillery just now!
"I'm sorry, I lit a fire when my hands itched, haha." Ling Zhen laughed in the car and said, "Big brother, are you satisfied with the power of this Golden Wheel Cannon?"
"Of course it's fine, you just have to do it." Dong Ping laughed twice, and then walked towards the soldiers who had formed several phalanxes in the distance.
Listening to the tsunami-like cheers of the mountain, Dong Ping just smiled and waved his hand, and walked to the vicinity of a young man again.
"How is it, little second brother, are you ready to join the army?" Dong Ping patted him on the shoulder, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said.
"Governor Dong, my parents still have the eldest brother and the third brother and the fourth brother to take care of, and I, Li Xiaoer, naturally have nothing to say!"
Li Xiaoer said loudly: "I have already thought clearly, in this world, only when we, the poor, unite to fight our own world and liberate more poor brothers and sisters!"
"Governor Dong, our brothers also came to join the army, just to follow you and get rid of the injustices in the world." Brother Yun and Tang Niu'er said loudly in Li Xiaoer's team: "We want to avenge our family, so that the world will not dare to trample on us at will!"
"Okay, if you have this ambition, then this world will definitely be born because of you, even if it is a slight change!" Dong Ping raised his head, jumped onto the platform, and looked at the faces of tens of thousands of people below.
"Brothers, we are a team of the poor, we do not give in to the powerful, we join the army so that our brothers and sisters will not be bullied, the cultivators have their land, and the old have support!"
"And those who dare to stop us from seizing justice, no matter how they jump, can only be united by us in the end and crushed under our feet!"
"Everyone, do you still have families that lack food and clothing, and have difficulty in food and clothing?" Dong Ping said loudly.
"Nope!"
Tens of thousands of horses below raised their swords and guns, and their shouts resounded through the sky, shocking the universe.
"But anyone dares to run rampant and oppress the people?"
"No one!"
"But who can't afford to go to a private school, a mud-legged family?"
"No, not one!"
Tens of thousands of people roared like crazy wolves, and in front of this battle-hardened army, in an instant, even the heavens and the earth seemed to be stirring and changing color for it!
This is an army that has faith and fights for home, and in their eyes, any fair opponent who stands in the way of their hard-won gains is a piece of meat in their mouths!
"Boom ......"
"Boom la la ......"
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a shower of rain fell suddenly, without warning.
The torrential rain has been pouring down, and in the baptism of the storm, everyone is like a solid wall, standing there forever.
Because, behind them, there is a fair world that they have bought with their blood, and there is the equality and respect that everyone dreams of.
There is also a family that is more important than his own life, his own family, his own everything, a man should protect.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, they could only see madness, a madness of fighting for this home, a madness of fighting for the freedom of their souls.
One is the madness of sacrificing one's life for the sake of sweeping away the wicked people in the world and for the equality of all people.
This is an army that can be defeated, but cannot be destroyed.
"Governor Dong, we fight for the world, die without complaints, fight for our family, and our souls are scattered without regrets!"
The Fang Tian painting halberd in Yang Zaixing's hand was soaked by the rain, and his hair fell down and stuck to his forehead and the armor on his chest, and he didn't care about it.
He said loudly: "We obey your command, even if we go to hell, there is nothing to say, even if we go against the sky, we will make those who look down on us pay the price!"
"Poof!"
Dong Ping was stunned.
He looked blankly at the tens of thousands of people in front of him.
At this moment, they had already knelt down on one knee in unison.
Among them were sixteen or seventeen-year-olds.
There are also, young people in their twenties.
There is no shortage of middle-aged people over the age of 30.
However, in the eyes of everyone who knelt on one knee, Dong Ping could only see a stream of loyalty from the depths of his soul.
That's not foolishness, but the decision to entrust his life and everything to him Dong Ping!
"Brothers, please get up!"
Dong Ping shouted loudly, his voice echoing in everyone's ears, and the warriors stood up, listening intently to the words of the leader.
"Yesterday, I received the latest briefing."
Dong Ping put his hands behind his back, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone's equally resolute faces, as if he was talking to the souls of all the fighters.
"Lu Junyi, Lu Yuanwai, a world-famous hero, is willing to give and puts the interests of others above his personal interests!"
"Five years ago, the Yellow River was diverted to break down, Lu Yuanwai scattered all his family wealth, helped hundreds of thousands of people in Shandong and Hebei, and after he made a comeback, he continued to fund the military expenses of the Western Army for five years, guarding the frontier!"
Dong Ping looked at everyone's eyes and shouted loudly: "You tell me, such a heroic man, he is about to be killed by the old thief Gao Yu now, can we sit idly by?!"
"Can't!"
"Kill the thief and rescue Lu Yuanwai!"
"Kill the dog official of the Daimyo Mansion, you can't watch the hero fall!"
"Good!" Dong Ping shouted, his eyes gradually sank, and he took the gilded gun from the weapon rack next to him.
"Click!"
The sharp spear head stabbed into the wooden plank of the general platform at his feet, Dong Ping shouted, and with only one punch, he slammed into a nearby stone lion of more than 2,000 catties.
"Boom-"
The rubble rolled down from the ground, and Dong Ping's cold eyes scanned the sky in front of him, as if he wanted to compare with Tiangong.
The icy rain mixed with the wind hit him, as if to destroy the young man's will.
Dong Ping's hair was blown away by the strong wind and had already spread to his face, even though his whole body was drenched in the cold rain, he didn't care.
"Yang Zaixing, Shi Bao, lead four battalions of infantry, one battalion of cavalry, and 5,000 soldiers and horses, go to the west of the Daimyo's Mansion fifty miles, and listen to my orders!"
"Ma Kuo and Wang Yin, leading four battalions of infantry, one battalion of cavalry, and 5,000 soldiers and horses, went to the Daimyo's Mansion to ambush in the Dongyan Mountain, and listened to my orders!"
"Shi Xiu, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Gongsun Sheng, the three Ruan brothers, with four battalions of infantry, one battalion of the navy, and 5,000 soldiers and horses, are ambushing in the area of Xingzhou to receive men and horses for the second team!"
"Xu Ning, Ling Zhen, and Liu Yun led 5,000 soldiers and horses, ambushed in the area of Dezhou, and acted according to my orders!"
"The rest of the people, together with Director Zhu, must guard Dongping City!"
