After reading it, Chen Qun handed the letter to Chen Ji, and Chen Ji sighed after reading it: "It seems that Tang Zhou has been prepared for a long time!" He knew that he was on a path of no return, so he had this series of arrangements early, but unfortunately his arrangements were almost not used, otherwise his wife and children would have spent the rest of their lives hiding here. ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Dad, these land deeds are useless, since Your Majesty has signed a contract with you, then you will send someone to make a new land deed, but these two house deeds are still a little useful." I don't know what the Tang Mansion has been destroyed. ”

Chen Ji nodded: "No matter what the Tang Mansion is ruined into, we won't let us live in it." Otherwise, the Taiping Dao Party will not let you go either. ”

Chen Qun seemed to realize something after listening to Chen Ji's words, but he didn't think of anything, so he winked at Chen Ji: "Dad, let's leave the Tang Mansion alone, this is enough for us, you see that there is everything here, and it is quite comfortable to live here." After a while, I sold the Tang Mansion. ”

Chen Ji smiled slightly when he heard this: "It seems that your kid really doesn't plan to go back, well, if there is nothing else, my father will return to Yingchuan now." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun looked at Chen Ji: "Dad, do you need to be in such a hurry?" If you go back, then you will take this gold with you, and it will be a thousand gold. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ji took out a big gold ingot from the box and said with a smile: "What does Dad want so much gold for?" Besides, this is handed over to you by Tang Zhou, and your father will not encroach on your property, and you will pay back this ingot to me. This time I spent a lot in Luoyang, and my father went back to give your mother an explanation. But with these gold and this residence, Dad can rest assured that you are alone in Luoyang. I have time to find a few subordinates. Daddy is gone. ”

Chen Qun frowned slightly when he heard this: "Dad, can I find a few brothers to send you back?" I don't worry about you traveling alone. ”

Chen Ji shook his head slightly: "No need!" I'm safe to travel alone, bring the officers and soldiers, it's not worth it if there are too many people, and if there are fewer people, it will be miserable if I am targeted by the Taiping Road thieves. ”

When Chen Qun heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, nodded to Chen Ji, and sent Chen Ji away with Tang Rong.

After Chen Ji left, Chen Qun and Tang Rong returned home, Chen Ji took out a piece of gold and put it on his body, and then found a rope for the key to the house and put it all on, and took Tang Rong to lock the door and go out.

Chen Qun first exchanged the ingot gold for 15,000 yuan in Qianzhuang, and then took Tang Rong around Luoyang Street, he wanted to get two subordinates for his family. But Chen Qun wandered around the street for an afternoon, but he didn't find a suitable candidate. When Chen Qun took Tang Rong to dinner, he suddenly remembered that he should take Li Lao and Li Bing'er over to live together. So Chen Qun and Tang Rong quickly finished their meal and walked towards Li's house.

There were no accidents along the way, but when Chen Qun came to the vicinity of Li's house, he saw many people holding torches around Li's house.

The scene that caught Chen Qun's eyes almost made Chen Qun collapse, the Li family was destroyed into Pingchuan, Li Lao had three arrows stuck in his body, blood flowed all over the ground, Li Bing'er knelt beside Li Lao and cried helplessly: "Grandpa, grandpa, wake up!" Wake up! ”

"Bing'er, what's going on?" Chen Qun put down Tang Rong, squatted beside Li Bing'er, grabbed Li Bing'er and asked.

Li Bing'er looked at Chen Qun with tears in her eyes and shook her head: "Cousin, cousin!" You go! Someone is going to kill you! You go! ”

"Let's go? Where to go? Can he go? ”

Chen Qun's eyes couldn't help but narrow when he heard this, and then he slowly got up and looked at the person who spoke, but it was the scribe in Tang Zhou's mansion: "Why did you kill my grandfather?" ”

"Why? What a joke? Why did we kill him, don't you know? The scribe said coldly.

Chen Qun glanced around with his peripheral vision and found that at least a dozen strong men surrounded him, and the surrounding villagers also left one by one when they saw this.

"What? Want to run? Stop dreaming! What a scheming captain of the shooting battalion, what a young and promising captain! You are now a big celebrity in front of the Spirit Emperor! The scribe said coldly when he saw Chen Qun's eyes wandering.

But the scribe didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if he wanted to see how Chen Qun would deal with this desperate situation.

Chen Qun's mind had turned to the extreme at this time, and he quickly calculated various possibilities for breaking through, but he vetoed them. At this time, the surrounding villagers had already left, Chen Qun saw the more than ten strong men around him and smiled and hugged his fists: "Brothers, presumably you participate in the Taiping Road to let you and your family have a good life, you see how this is, more than a dozen of you will follow me in the future, and I will pay you enough." Let's work together to kill this scribe today, and then I will personally ask Your Majesty for your credit. ”

"Joke! What a joke! Do you think faith can be bought with money? Arrest him for me, I will torture him well and see how he convinces Tang Zhou of that traitor? The scribe said fiercely.

After the scribe finished speaking, more than a dozen strong men in ragged clothes who surrounded Chen Qun swung their fists around Chen Qun. Seeing this, Chen Qun's heart was crossed, and he immediately greeted him.

"Cousin, run!" Seeing this, Li Bing'er directly ran forward and hugged a strong man, but she was directly lifted up and thrown out by the strong man.

Chen Qun was directly angry when he saw this! immediately went up to fight with the strong man in front of him. Chen Qun had an epiphany, although his martial arts were much stronger than ordinary people, but he was not the opponent of these more than ten strong men, he only knocked down two strong men, and was kicked in the stomach by the third strong man, Chen Qun rolled to the ground and covered his stomach and couldn't stand up, rolling in pain, he felt that his internal organs were kicked and broken.

"Brother! Cousin! ”

Tang Rong and Li Bing'er saw Chen Qun rolling in pain, and hurriedly rushed to Chen Qun's side and shouted.

"Put!"

Suddenly, an order came from around the house, followed by a burst of bows and arrows and a miserable shout, and a large group of soldiers from the shooting battalion rushed in from around the collapsed house of Lao Li's house.

"Check the corpses, kill them all! Be vigilant! ”

"Yes!"

After Xu Shao finished arranging the defensive task, he hurriedly ran to Chen Qun's side and asked with concern, "My lord, my lord, are you okay?" ”

After Chen Qun heard that it was Xu Shao's voice, he said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Brother Xu, for saving my little brother!" Thank you! ”

Xu Shao looked at Chen Qun's painful appearance and hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Take the adults to the doctor! Go get a door panel. ”

Soon, the two soldiers quickly lifted Chen Qun to the wooden door panel, and then the four soldiers quickly lifted Chen Qun and ran out, Tang Lian hurriedly followed, Li Bing'er followed closely after a little hesitation, and the remaining soldiers quickly stepped forward to escort Chen Qun and his party after cutting off the head of each thief.

Xu Shao ordered the two soldiers to carry Tang Lian and Li Bing'er on their backs respectively, and then ran beside Chen Qun and said, "My lord, you must forgive your subordinates for the sin of poor rescue!" It was too dark, and we were too far away, so we didn't dare to act rashly for fear of accidentally hurting adults. It wasn't until the subordinates saw the adults lying down that they dared to order the brothers to make a move! I'm sorry, my lord! Fortunately, it didn't hurt the adult's two sisters, otherwise the sin of the subordinates would be great! ”

Chen Qun shook his head and said hoarsely: "Brother Xu is right! Brother Xu doesn't need to explain! I understand! It's a pity that I didn't know that Brother Xu and his brothers were outside, otherwise I would have just gotten down. Brother Xu, don't blame yourself, I have been removed from the official position of lieutenant by His Majesty. ”

Xu Shao's eyes moistened and nodded: "My lord doesn't need to explain, my subordinates know that my subordinates and my uncle knew that there would be danger on my side when my lord made a hidden decision, so I have been sending my brothers to pay attention to the Li family." When Uncle Zhi left, he also left a special message asking me to take care of the adults, but my subordinates were really ashamed of the trust of the adults and the uncle's brothers. ”

Chen Qun blinked when he heard this: "Thank you Brother Xu for saving your life, to be honest, if it weren't for Brother Xu secretly helping the younger brother, the younger brother wouldn't know how much torture he would have to endure after being caught by those thieves." ”

"Don't talk anymore, my lord! It's almost there! Bear with me! Xu Shao frowned.

After a while, Xu Shao escorted Chen Qun to the door of a medical hall with all the soldiers, at this time the medical center was closed, Xu Shao was obviously familiar with the doctor of the medical hall, knocked on the door politely, and carried Chen Qun into the medical hall to let the doctor see a doctor.

The doctor is already a lot old, and his hair is gray, he gave Chen Qun a pulse, and after investigating Chen Qun's injured abdomen, he frowned and said: "It's okay, it's just that the abdomen was hit hard, and there was no bleeding, the problem is not serious, the old man gave him a decoction and drank it, and he will be fine." General Xu doesn't need to worry. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Sun!" Xu Shao hugged his fists.

After confirming that Chen Qun was fine, Xu Shao's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he ordered his brothers to return to the camp, leaving only four brothers to guard one side.

Half an hour later, Chen Qun no longer felt so uncomfortable, but he still drank the decoction at the doctor's request, and then he got up and hugged Xu Shao and said, "Thank you again Brother Xu for helping tonight." ”

Xu Shao held Chen Qun's hand tightly and smiled: "Don't thank you anymore, my lord!" Although His Majesty has removed him from his position, the brothers have received their salaries and will do things for them. Besides, it is also our duty to eliminate the remnants of the Taiping Dao, so you don't need to thank you. Since the adults are fine, the subordinates will go back to the camp first. ”

When Chen Qun heard this, he looked at Xu Shao and frowned, "Brother Xu, the younger brother has something to ask for." ”

Xu Shao blinked when he heard this: "My lord, please speak, as long as your subordinates can help, you will definitely help." ”

Chen Qun nodded and said, "I want to ask Brother Xu to help me find dozens of veterans with good skills." ”

Xu Shao looked at Chen Qun with wide eyes when he heard this: "My lord, what do you want to do?" ”

Chen Qun looked at Xu Shaozheng and said: "You have also seen that my situation is really dangerous, I don't want to be a fish and meat who is powerless to resist, I have to protect my family and not let them be bullied again." ”

Xu Shao blinked when he heard this: "So the adults are looking for people to find the kind of long-term hired brothers?" ”

Chen Qun nodded: "Of course, the people I found are not only to protect safety, but also to do some other things." To put it bluntly, these people must be reliable and must obey my orders. ”

Xu Shao nodded: "I don't know how many people the adults plan to find?" ”

Chen Qun thought of the place where he lived now, in addition to the north room, there were thirteen other wings, so he said to Xu Shao: "At most, there are more than ten people, and I can't live there." ”

Xu Shao smiled when he heard this: "The people that my subordinates are looking for are not places where they need to live. I don't know how this treatment is calculated? ”

When Chen Qun heard this, he said, "If the brothers don't need a place to live, then Brother Xu will help me find more than twenty brothers." The treatment is calculated according to the ability of the brothers. At least 30 big money per person per month, and a minimum of 400 big money a year, what do you think? ”

Xu Shao's eyes smiled brightly when he heard this: "Of course there is no problem, but since the adults are willing to pay such a high price, the demand for manpower must not be low. ”

"Then please Brother Xu!" Chen Qun hugged his fists.

Xu Shao hurriedly got up and said, "Your Excellency is polite!" Leave! ”

"Brother Xu should pay attention to safety on the road, and I will personally ask Brother Xu about the manpower situation in a few days." Chen Qun said softly.

"Good! The lord rested early, and his subordinates and brothers returned to the camp first. ”

Xu Shao bowed to Chen Qun and then turned around and left with four subordinates.
