At midnight in the morning, a rumbling war drum suddenly sounded in the west of the Yongning Acropolis, followed by a burst of orders, and a shouting hahe, the movement became louder and louder, and the entire Acropolis could hear the shouting and killing sound from the west.

However, the guards in the Acropolis did not show any abnormality, and everyone should do what they should do, without a trace of panic, because everyone knew that this was the commander of the Lord organizing the drill.

At this time, two phalanxes had been assembled on the flat ground outside the west gate, and the heads of the people were densely packed, and I was afraid that there would be thousands of people.

The commander Li Xixian inspected the team with a serious face, and then ordered aloud: "Today's drill is a rapid march, and before noon, we must arrive at the Anping Inspection Division." ”

The commander Yin Feng bowed his hand and obeyed the order, and then waved his hand and shouted: "All to the west, in the direction of the Anping Inspection Division, there are five columns. ”

With his order, the thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, and small flags below raised their hands to give orders, and the two phalanxes slowly converged into a five-column long snake formation.

Immediately after that, the commander Yin Feng waved his hand and shouted: "Run, move forward." ”

"Stepping, stepping", thousands of people and horses slowly ran westward with neat steps, although the footsteps were not very neat, but a certain rhythm could be faintly heard, Li Xixian saw this, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

His subordinates are just guards, and they can't be compared with the regular Ming army, and it's good to have this.

The team of thousands of people had just left, and a team of more than 20 people appeared at the gate of the city, but these people were not Tun Wei, but Yang Cong and others.

They were almost all riding tall horses, only Hou Zhitan and Peng Fu were caught in the middle of the group with a horse-drawn flatbed, and it was obvious that they were going to get the 10,000 taels of silver.

Li Xixian looked at the "sparse" team, and couldn't help but worry: "Ling'er, you still don't want to go, this pirate is not a joke." ”

Lu Ling'er said with excitement on her face: "Didn't my uncle send thousands of people, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Li Xixian shook his head helplessly and said: "I can only send people and horses to the Anping Inspection Division, which is still more than 20 miles away from Tong'an County, even if you report the news quickly, it will take them at least an hour to rush to Tong'an County to pick you up, in case you have any mistakes, how can I explain to your parents!" ”

He didn't dare to directly transfer more than 1,000 people and horses to Tong'an County, without the order of the Ministry of War, and mobilize troops and horses without authorization, that would be tantamount to rebellion, he could only mobilize people and horses in the name of drills, and these people and horses could not stay away from the garrison to do other things.

Therefore, he could only send more than 1,000 horses to the Anping Inspection Division in the name of training the rapid march, which also belonged to the territory of Yongningwei, and it was no problem to transfer people over for training, but it was absolutely impossible to run to Tong'an County, unless there were really pirates attacking Tong'an County.

It naturally takes an hour for the more than 20 miles of guards to run over, but they are all riding horses, Lu Ling'er said indifferently: "Uncle, don't worry, we are all riding horses, in case Chen Wenjie really wants to play any tricks, we will turn around and run, and we can rush to the Anping Inspection Division in a quarter of an hour, it's okay." ”

When Li Xixian heard this, he secretly looked at the two guards behind Lu Ling'er with gloomy faces, meaning to let them open their mouths to stop Lu Ling'er, but the two guards were like dumb people, and they didn't speak, and in desperation, he could only tell him carefully: "Ling'er, you must be careful, turn around when you find that the situation is wrong, don't be reckless." ”

Lu Ling'er nodded vigorously and said, "I know, I know, uncle, you can rest assured." ”

After speaking, she waved directly at Yang Cong and said, "Qingfeng, let's go." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he arched his hand towards Li Xixian in embarrassment, and then beat his horse and followed Lu Ling'er and rushed to Tong'an.

They didn't ride their horses and gallop wildly, because there were thousands of guards in front of them who were "marching in a hurry", and they had to wait for these thousands of guards to rush to the Anping Inspection Department before they could go to Tong'an County to get silver, otherwise, if Chen Wenjie played any tricks, it would be a little troublesome.

Does Chen Wenjie play any tricks?

Of course, he is not the kind of honest person, usually he bullies others, but during this time he was bullied by Yang Cong three times and twice, and it was impossible not to retaliate.

This time, he was really miserable by Yang Cong, not only lost a minion from the fourth grade to the family, but also compensated Yang Cong 10,000 taels of silver, he was so angry that he almost didn't spurt blood.

The Longxi Chen family is not as rich as the Hui'an Yang family, and the maritime tycoons sound quite terrifying, controlling the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty, and the business of at least tens of millions of taels of silver that year, coupled with the terrifying profits of foreign trade at this time, the income will definitely be much less.

However, not all of this money is theirs, to put it bluntly, it is just an umbrella, and it is those maritime merchants who really do business.

There are more than 100 maritime merchants controlled by the maritime giants, and they are less than 20 controlled by the Longxi Chen clan, which means that all the maritime merchants under their Longxi Chen clan together can not do 10 million taels of business a year.

Moreover, it is impossible for the money of these more than ten maritime merchants to honor them, they also need costs to do business, and they also have to make money to support their families, so it is good that they can take out 10% to make protection money for the Chen family in Longxi.

In this way, the assets of the Longxi Chen family are at most one million taels, ten thousand taels, which is one percent of their assets.

lost one percent of his assets at one time, Chen Wenjie was scolded by the old man in charge of the family, if it weren't for his father being the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he would have been abolished by his family.

How can you not take revenge for this revenge!

This time he didn't think about using pirates, it was not a joke to pull hundreds of pirates around the county seat, the imperial court really wanted to investigate it, they Longxi Chen clan would suffer, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not commit this trouble.

Coincidentally, this time he also used Tunwei, because Xue Xilian of the Qianhu of Yongning Wei Gaopu was also a minion of their Longxi Chen clan.

At this time, he was waiting with Xue Xilian of the thousands of households of Gaopu with hundreds of elite guards in Tong'an Ximen, of course, these guards did not wear uniforms, they were wearing ordinary clothes, and even the commander of Yongningwei was unable to hold Li Xixian by privately mobilizing troops and horses, and a small thousand households of Gaopu were naturally even more unbearable, they just wanted to play yin, but they didn't want to come to Ming.

Therefore, when Yang Cong and his entourage came to Tong'an Ximen, they saw more than 100 neat "pirates" guarding two carriages, and there was still a trace of the atmosphere of the regular Ming army.

How can today's pirates have this quality?

Yang Cong was secretly surprised in his heart, but a hundred or so people couldn't scare him, all the people he brought were masters, and a hundred or so people were not enough to see.

He just led everyone to slowly beat the horses and came up, and said lightly: "Chen Wenjie, I didn't expect you to be quite punctual." ”

Chen Wenjie glanced at him coldly, didn't say anything, turned his head and said to Xue Xilian on the side: "Lord Xue, someone gathers to make trouble, how do you think about it?" ”

Xue Xilian waved his hand directly: "Surround it, grab it, and don't let any of them go." ”

Nima, this kid is sick, Yang Cong was confused by Chen Wenjie's brainless and shameless behavior.

This kid seems to have never eaten a turtle, so every time the means of revenge seem so simple, rude and brainless, every time he arrests someone for no reason, is there a mistake?

Of course, Yang Cong is not afraid, these hundred or so people are estimated to not even be able to do the twenty guards under him, what is there to be afraid of.

He was thinking about whether to let the guards go up and start fighting directly, but Lu Ling'er suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Chen Wenjie and scolded angrily: "Stop, what kind of gathering crowds to make trouble, blind your dog eyes, right?" ”

Of course, Chen Wenjie's dog eyes were not blind, he just didn't notice Lu Ling'er behind Yang Cong.

Oops, I didn't expect Yang Cong to bring a beautiful woman, this is .......

He looked at Lu Ling'er's eyes, and suddenly became indescribable.

What does Chen Wenjie's expression mean?

Is this untenable?

Xue Xilian looked at Chen Wenjie's pig brother and was a little puzzled.

Chen Wenjie is thinking about indescribable things at this moment, stop, what are you kidding?

He saw that Xue Xilian was stunned, and couldn't help urging: "Lord Xue, hurry up and do it, why are you stunned?" ”

When Xue Xilian heard this, he immediately waved his hand without hesitation: "Up." ”

Lu Ling'er is really angry, she has never seen such unreasonableness, she couldn't help but pointed at Xue Xilian and scolded: "I told you to stop, didn't you hear?" ”

Xue Xilian rolled his eyes and said, "Who are you, why should I listen to you?" What are you still doing in a daze, come on. ”

At his urging, the surrounding guards immediately picked up their weapons and slowly surrounded them.

At this moment, the two guards behind Lu Ling'er who never said anything finally came forward, they beat their horses in front of Lu Ling'er, and one of the guards pointed at Xue Xilian and screamed: "Who are you, you dare to be so lawless." ”

Dizzy, this voice can't be the legendary eunuch, right?
