Chapter 123: Two Ways of Waiting

"Good skills!"

Seeing that the assassin had fallen to the ground and died, Lu Chen couldn't help but praise.

Hearing this, Liang Xiao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Let Lu Gong be frightened." ”

The current Lu Chen's identity is extraordinary, and he is no longer the head of a county that can be compared, and today, among the people of the Wind Country, people naturally call him Lu Gong. And the title of Gong, at that time, was a great honorific title for a person, and it was a recognition of a very high status.

At this time, a large number of soldiers who went to arrest the three assassins had already returned, and when they saw a young man in black brocade standing in the courtyard, and there was a corpse, people subconsciously protected Lu Chen behind them, and at the same time, all the guns and halberds were also aimed at Liang Xiao.

"Take a bow!" The commander in charge of guarding did not know the specifics, and also regarded Liang Xiao as an assassin. And as he spoke, the sound of the bow and crossbow winding suddenly rang out.

Seeing this, Liang Xiao's face suddenly changed. With so many strong bows and crossbows, no matter how high his kung fu is, I am afraid it will be difficult to please, otherwise, the three assassins before would not need to make any plans to divert the tiger from the mountain.

"Huh? Stop! Lu Chen stopped the soldiers and said, "This person is not an assassin, and if it wasn't for him just now, I'm afraid this official would have died under the assassin's sword now." ”

"Huh!?" When the commander heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and at this time, he also saw that he had just been tricked, he swallowed his saliva fiercely, and was about to say something tremblingly, but at this time, there was a noise on the street outside the courtyard.

Then, all the generals under Lu Chen's command were present, and after the people came in, they didn't say anything else, they all asked if Lu Chen was injured.

Seeing the more and more troops gathered here, and seeing where the power was, Liang Xiao felt even more that his squatting in the past few days had not been in vain. No matter how high a person's martial arts are, what is the use, in front of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops, he is like an ant, and no matter how high his martial arts are, he has no right to be afraid! In the face of true power, it is countless people who surrender......

"Ah, my lord, are you alright?" At this time, Zhang Yu, the head of Guanshan County, hurriedly came up, and in the past few days, he has also learned to be smart, and he has long changed his name to call Lu Chen the lord.

But Changyu was also the most frightened at this time, what was he really afraid of! Unexpectedly, in this Guanshan County, there are really people who are not afraid of death who dare to assassinate Lu Chen! Fortunately, Lu Chen is fine now, if he is really injured somewhere, it is difficult to guarantee that those generals under him will not put the responsibility on the head of him, the county head.

However, seeing that Zhang Yu was coming, Lu Chen immediately thought about it, in the past few days, he was thinking about how to collect the military power of the county army in a grand manner, and now it is good, there is such a thing, he just happened to say:

"It's Lord Zhang, there are 50,000 county troops in Shunzhou City, but there is still an assassination, are these county soldiers all eating dry food!? In order not to make Lord Zhang too tired, I think that the 50,000 county army, Lord Zhang does not have to be in charge, or let General Zhao Chuan under my command manage it on his behalf, so that the county army can also be well trained! ”

"Huh!? This ......"

"Huh!?" Lu Chen's glaring interrupted his words, and pretended to be displeased: "What? Does Lord Zhang have any objections? You must know that the official's residence was arranged by Lord Zhang, and the guards patrolling outside the mansion are also Lord Zhang's subordinates, so I really don't know how the assassins got in!? ”

His words were obviously threatening Zhang Yu, and the latter couldn't hear it, so he couldn't help but be so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "The will of the lord, how dare the lower officials disobey, there is no ...... about the county army No objections......"

"Very good, Master Zhang, hurry up." After Lu Chen finished speaking, he also waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

After all the generals left, the courtyard returned to its previous appearance, and at this time, Liang Xiao immediately knelt on the ground, and Shi Li said:

"On the occasion of this national disaster, Lu Gong held high the banner of righteousness and crusaded against the traitors! In Xia Liang Xiao, I am willing to help Lu Gong, and from now on, before and after the saddle, I will go to the soup and the fire, and I will not give up! ”

Oh? I didn't expect this master who saved himself to come to take refuge in himself! When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but rejoice, you know, what he lacks most now is a talent like Liang Xiao!

He looked up and smiled, and hurriedly reached out to help Liang Xiao up from the ground, and said, "With Brother Liang helping me, why worry about big things?" ”

"Lord!" When Liang Xiao heard this, he was even more overjoyed, and he immediately changed his name.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The corners of Lu Chen's lips curled.

And for this group of assassins, there is no need to check, Lu Chen can also guess who sent them. Now that the assassin is dead, Ding Rui must think that Shunzhou is heavily guarded, and it is difficult to start from here again, and now, only Xue Huairen is not by his side.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's heart moved, and he hurriedly said to Liang Xiao: "There is one thing, I need you to go in person." ”

"My lord, please command." Liang Xiao bent down slightly and said.

"Well...... In this way, you take my token, go to Wuyang County Mansion, and pick up Lord Xue Huairen and Miss Xue Ling, and be sure to ensure the safety of the two of them on the way, and there must be no mistakes! Otherwise, the official will ask you! As Lu Chen spoke, he took off his jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Liang Xiao.

"Rest assured, my lord! Your subordinates will definitely complete the task! Liang Xiao replied.

Pingyang County is Lu Chen's base, and the whole county has been governed quite perfectly, while Wuyang and Guanshan counties have just been taken down for a long time.

Therefore, as early as a few days ago, Lu Chen had already sent a letter to Xue Huairen in the rear, asking him to go to Wuyang and lead the three counties in general to repair civil affairs.

On the surface, Xue Huairen does not have any exact official position, but everyone under Lu Chen's account understands that his position may not be replaced.

This is not only because his daughter Xue Ling is Lu Chen's fiancΓ©e, but more importantly, Xue Huairen's role in Lu Chen's camp is too important! If there was no Xue Huairen, Lu Chen would not have been able to develop so fast, troops, grain and grass, ordnance, money and grain, etc., all relied on Xue Huairen to transport them in the rear.

Now that there is an assassin, Lu Chen is most worried about Xue Huairen and Xue Ling in the rear, if they have an accident, then Lu Chen is afraid that his intestines will be repentant.

And with Lu Chen's gradual rise, at this time, it is also the busiest stage for Xue Huairen, but he has no choice but to give full play to his internal affairs and do his best to help Lu Chen complete the great cause!

A few days later, Xue Huairen and Xue Ling arrived safely in Shunzhou.

Seeing Lu Chen, Xue Ling was as happy as a bird.

But at this time, a big battle that really decided the ownership of the Wind Country also quietly kicked off.

Tang Man sent an urgent report that the two main roads to the south had been blocked by the enemy.

The first road is the official road of Nanyang, which is garrisoned by the central army of 100,000 Jin led by Zuo Shuang.

The second road is 200,000 Zhang troops, with Zhao Yuan, the general of Zhang Guo, as the commander, sending troops to Longshan, and Nanyang County into a horn trend......
