Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ogre King

Zhu Cang was born as a low-level official, and later took advantage of the chaos in the world to gather crowds, and in just a few years, he traveled to many places. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Where he leads the army through, like locusts crossing the border, nothing will be left, not even people.

In fact, he was not an army at all, he was purely a group of outcasts, who lived by robbery, and it was not enough to meet the regular army. Sometimes it is good to have enough food to eat after robbing the rich county seats, but if you can't find food in the poor countryside, you will feed on people. Beasts still don't eat their kind, this person is simply inferior to beasts.

"Last year, Zhu Cang joined the Tang Dynasty and was named the king of Chu by His Majesty, because he was drunk and had a dispute with Duan Qu, a regular attendant of the free cavalry sent to comfort him, he actually caught Duan Qu and dozens of his entourage during the banquet, cooked them all, and distributed them to the people around him to eat." Fugui's words make people feel creepy.

"So he took refuge in Wang Shichong because of this matter?" Wang Maiqiang held back the discomfort in his heart and asked.

"That's right, before surrendering, he also killed all the people in Jutan City......"

"I heard Yan Silu say that his brother Yan Chuchu's family was invited by Zhu Cang to be a guest, and he later ate it." Wang Mai recalled.

"I have seen a soldier under Zhu Wei, and he heard Zhu Cang personally say that there is no better food in the world than human flesh, especially children's meat is the most tender, as long as there are people in other towns, there is no need to worry about starvation."

Wang Mai's face was ugly. If the missing child is really related to Zhu Cang, then Sun Yu's life is ...... now

"Brother Wheat, where are you going?" Fugui asked, draped in his clothes.

"I'm going to the Longxiang General's Mansion."

"You're alone?"

"Call a few more brothers."

"My injuries are fine, I'll go with you."

The two of them went out of the house, Wang Mai just took two steps and suddenly stopped, and said to Fugui: "You go to Liu Da and them first, and I will go back to the house to get something and come back." ”

"Okay."

tiptoed open the door, afraid of waking up Rou Niang, so he had to rummage through the cabinet in the dark.

"Lang Jun......" Rou Niang didn't know when she woke up.

Wang Mai had no choice but to light the oil lamp: "You rest early, don't worry, I will definitely get Yu'er back." ”

"You're going out now?" Rou Niang looked at him worriedly, "The door is already closed." ”

"I naturally have a way." Wang Mai took out an iron box from the cabinet and put it in his arms, walked to the side of the bed and shook her hand.

"You have to be careful......"

"Don't worry, I will."

When they walked to the front yard, Liu Da and the others had already assembled.

"Zhu Cang is very brutal, this trip is very dangerous, the officials should wait for news at home." Liu Da persuaded.

"I'm not at ease......" Wang Mai shook his head.

"We are definitely far from enough, although he is out of power now, there are still dozens of loyal generals in the house." Fugui said.

"We're not here to fight him...... Wang Mai explained.

"If he really did this, would he have handed it over honestly?" Fugui asked.

"This ......," Wang Mai hesitated for a while.

"Fugui is right," Liu Da said, "Once the people of Luoyang know that he is the one who kidnapped those children, I'm afraid Wang Shichong won't be able to protect him, so he will definitely deny it." ”

"Okay, let's go to the brewery first." Although I don't know why Fugui is sure that this matter was done by Zhu Cang, Fugui has no reason to lie to himself, and even if Sun Yu's disappearance has nothing to do with him, it is not a pity that this person has committed the sins over the years even if he dies ten thousand times.

Fugui walked in front, led everyone over the walls of many courtyards, walked for more than two hours, and finally arrived at the winery.

"What? The little boy was kidnapped? Lao Huang became angry when he heard this, and quickly summoned dozens of people in the winery.

"Fuck ......"

"Zhu Cang, this brute......"

"Kill him directly into his general's mansion and kill this beast!"

Everyone was outraged.

"Listen to me...... Wang Mai raised his hands.

When they heard this, they all fell silent, waiting for Wang Mai's command.

"Most of the brothers are now family and employed, and this trip is very dangerous, and there are likely to be casualties, so I propose that there be people in the family who are old and young." Wang Mai said.

"No," Lao Huang was the first to object, "Childe is as kind to us as a mountain, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death today, it will be in vain for Childe to raise us wasted people for so long." ”

"That's right, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the brothers have eaten and drunk well in the past two years, and they have long been enough. Now that there is a famine in Luoyang, if it weren't for Gongzi, maybe he would have starved to death on the streets, and none of the brothers would be a bad seed, right? ”

"Yes!" And all the people answered with a loud voice.

"Ah Lang, since the brothers all want to contribute to this matter, you don't have to insist anymore." Liu Da persuaded on the side.

"But with so many people coming out at once, I'm afraid it will attract attention." Wang Mai knew in his heart that since it was likely to be a firefight, the more people there were, the better, but now that it was wartime, the city was more prepared than before, and it was difficult for so many people to act together to avoid inspection.

"Don't forget, Childe, we used to work hard for other people's families, and we are very familiar with the streets and alleys of Luoyang, let's act in batches and roads, and then gather together after arriving at the location." Lao Huang said.

"That's right," Fugui, who had been silent, also spoke, "The patrol outside the workshop is indeed very strict, but when we get to the workshop, it is very relaxed, as long as we are careful, there should be no problems." ”

"That's good," Wang Mai nodded, "I don't know about the marching formation, but it's better for my brother to lay out a strategy in advance." ”

At the moment, led by Lao Huang, who had been in the team, quickly discussed the course of action with everyone.

"The terrain in that area is very familiar, but no one knows what the situation is in the Longxiang General's Mansion, so they can only act at the opportunity." Liu Da said.

"I know the situation in the Great General's Mansion of Long Xiang." Fugui said on the side.

"Oh?" Everyone turned their heads to look at him, "Who is this little brother?" ”

"This is rich, my brother." Wang Mai explained.

"Okay, then ask this rich brother to tell me about the situation in the General's Mansion."

Fugui walked to the sand table, picked up a stick and smoothed the sand on it, and drew a sketch of the mansion. Wang Mai looked at it, and even the thatched house was clearly marked, it seems that Fugui has paid attention to this rebellious Zhu Cang.

Everyone gathered around Shatu, and competed to discuss, every time they came to a place that could not be decided, Fugui would interject two sentences appropriately, he was most familiar with the terrain, and naturally based on his opinions, he quickly formulated a plan of action.

"Good!" Liu Da stood in front of everyone, "This is going to the General's Mansion to find someone, it is likely to be dangerous, if anyone is afraid of death, if he is out of the list now, the son will never blame." ”

"Whoever is afraid of death is a bad seed!"

"Lao Liu, I don't like to hear what you say, your kid took shit luck to follow the son, but the brothers are not vegetarians, for the sake of the little boy, it's worth risking this life!"

……

All of a sudden, everyone's emotions were at an extreme.

Wang Mai dragged Liu Da aside: "Don't listen to his radical words, everyone went to the general's mansion today to save people, one is for Yu'er; The second is for the dozens of children who disappeared in Luoyang, everyone remember, save your life first, don't be reckless. ”

"Ah Lang......" Liu Da looked at Wang Mai dissatisfied.

"Don't say it again," Wang Mai shook his head, "Let me mention one last point, in addition to Zhu Cang and his minions, there must be some servants in the General's Mansion, let's focus on saving people this time, don't hurt innocent lives." ”

After the final mobilization, the group was divided into five teams and set off separately with crossbows and other equipment. The crossbow was bought from the black market, it should have flowed from Wang Shichong's army, although the price was expensive, but the last thing the winery lacked was money, in order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the winery, each person was equipped with one.

Although the power and range of this crossbow are not as good as those of the crossbow, it is more convenient to wind and is most suitable for defending the winery. In addition to crossbows, short swords and short swords are naturally indispensable, Wang Mai doesn't understand these ordnance and equipment, everything is handled by Song Laosan.

Although the veterans of these wineries are not as physically strong as the younger soldiers, they are armed to the teeth and have a lot of experience, and I don't know how many people who have ideas about the winery have been sent in the past two years. Song Laosan said that if there are 10,000 such soldiers, they can definitely be the king and hegemon.

Wang Mai calculated, the various weapons and equipment on these people alone add up to dozens of guan, plus all kinds of logistics materials, etc., to form such an army will cost no less than one million guan every year, which is simply impossible to achieve, even Wang Shichong can't do it.

Lao Huang and the others unanimously asked Wang Mai to stay in the winery and wait for the letter, but he refused. Fugui let them not worry, he will definitely protect Brother Wheat.

Along the way, there was a thrilling escape from the Wuhou who patrolled the streets, and when he arrived outside Zhu Cang's general's mansion, it was already four watches.

"Remember our plan, first split up and talk to people, everyone remembers their goals, and if you can't find it, you will quit and gather here again; If you find it, don't act rashly, and report it first, understand? Liu Da said in a low voice.

"Understood!"

Everyone dispersed in a smoke, and found a planned location and climbed over the wall into the courtyard. Wang Mai stood outside the wall, his nervous palms covered with sweat.

"Don't worry," Fugui comforted in a low voice, "Little Sun Yu is nine times out of ten inside, we have been staring at this Zhu Cang for a long time, there will be no mistake." ”

Wang Mai didn't bother to ask Tang Jun how many spies there were in Luoyang City at this time, and he looked at the wall from time to time with his feet crossed.

About two quarters of an hour passed, and the people who searched the front yard came back one after another, all shaking their heads, but they didn't notice anything.

After another quarter of an hour, most of the people who went to the backyard came back, but they all found nothing.

"Who hasn't come back yet?" Wang Mai asked eagerly.

"Lao Liu, Lao Huang, they are still inside......"

Just halfway through the sentence, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the courtyard: "There are thieves!" ”

Everyone was shocked and found out!
