Chapter Forty-Eight: Captain Wu Arrives

As mentioned last time, Sun Yang's field restriction order annoyed the family, and the undercurrent of Xiapi surged. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Haoqiang did not pay taxes, and took advantage of the chaos in the world to expand private armies, build weapons, and raise horses.

The mighty stone forts and stockades are like independent kingdoms.

If Sun Yang wants to raise an army, and if he wants Xuzhou not to starve to death, he can only attack the family.

Even if Sun Yang gets high-yield crops from overseas, it is useless, first, it is now the Xiaoice Age, second, it takes decades for foreign high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn to be tamed on the land of China, and Hong Chengqing's failure to promote sweet potatoes in the north at the end of the Ming Dynasty is an example.

During the Kangqian period, foreign high-yield crops were domesticated and matured, allowing the chiefs to pick up a big bargain.

Chen Palace, who had been busy for a day in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Xiapi, took a nap in the warm pavilion.

A young woman dressed in red walked in, her name was Ping Xin, and she was a singer sent by the Dahao Qiang Chen family.

Pingxin added charcoal to the brazier and took a large coat for Chen Gong to drape.

Chen Gong's family stayed in his hometown in Dongjun, and his diet and daily life were temporarily taken care of by Ping Xin.

There were only two people in the room, Chen Gong and Pingxin, who looked at Chen Gong's side face carefully, looking struggling.

Chen Gong is the most selfless official she has ever seen, usually in addition to official business or official business, some time ago, when the canal was renovated, Chen Gong was also hands-on, and there were many common people in Xiapi who set up immortal tablets for Sun Yang and Chen Gong.

Do you want to kill this venerable person with your own hands? If you don't kill him, when will you be able to see your parents?

Pingxin closed his eyes, struggled for a while, took out the sharp blade from his sleeve, approached Chen Gong, and said silently in his heart: Mr. Chen, I will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life.

"Chen Gong, I'm back." A figure broke in.

Pingxin hurriedly put the blade back.

Chen Gong was woken up, looked up, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Ma, didn't you go to Xiaqiu to visit General Gao?" Came back so soon. ā€

Ma Li took off her Han shoes, knelt next to Chen Gong casually, and said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it, that wood, I know about training all day long, and I'm annoyed to death." ā€

Chen Gong's head rested on his arm, tilted his head and teased: "No, not long ago, someone said that General Gao was loyal and upright, and he was a good match. ā€

"Nothing." Ma Li was a little embarrassed.

Chen Gong was a person who came over and reminded: "General Gao has been widowed for many years, he is upright, and he has won the trust of the lord, I don't know how sought-after, during this time, there are already four or five companies that let me protect the media, if you don't hurry up, you won't have a chance." ā€

"What?" Ma Li ran out in a hurry when she heard this.

Chen Gong was stunned by Ma Li's reaction, and muttered: What a girl like the wind.

Pingxin on the side covered his mouth and chuckled: "Ming Gong has always been dignified, and today he has learned to say witty things." ā€

Chen Gong explained: "This is the original words of the lord, I am just responsible for conveying it, the lord thinks they are too grinding, and I hope they will do good things as soon as possible." ā€

"The lord is really sympathetic to his subordinates." Ping Xin whispered.

Chen Gong sniffed his nose and said, "It's lotus seed soup, it's so fragrant." ā€

Chen Gong was about to eat it when he picked it up, and shouted calmly: "Don't." ā€

Chen Gong put down the lotus seed soup and said strangely: "What's the matter?" ā€

Pingxin took the lotus seed soup and lowered his head and didn't speak, just cried in a low voice.

Chen Gong looked at Ping Xin and asked, "Who bullied you, or are you homesick." ā€

Pingxin raised his head with tears in his eyes, and said, "The soup is poisonous, and I ordered it." ā€

Chen Gong didn't react much when he heard this, he just said, "Why? ā€

"They promised to let me meet my parents if I killed you." Ping Xin replied.

A large number of black-clothed people gathered outside the Xiapi Prime Minister's Mansion, and the soldiers who were supposed to patrol the night were nowhere to be seen.

"Send two hundred men to guard the back door, and the rest will follow me over the wall." The man in black in the lead commanded.

A diminutive man in black led some of the people to the back door, while the rest of the men in black took out their hooks and threw them against the wall.

"What people!" The sergeant patrolling the courtyard spotted someone at the head of the wall and immediately shouted.

The black-clothed men at the wall took out their crossbows and shot at the patrolling soldiers, who were caught off guard and were killed on the spot.

"Discovered, quick." The man in black in the lead urged.

A large number of black-clothed men crossed the wall and killed in the depths of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the guards couldn't resist and retreated.

Chen Gong in the warm pavilion rushed out of the door and saw the fire in the front yard.

The domestic servant Chen Fu ran over and shouted, "Master, it's not good, the back door is also blocked." ā€

"Panic what! Come with me into the inner chamber. Chen Gong reprimanded, and hurriedly walked in after speaking.

The men in black flanked back and forth, and the guards were all killed.

"Chief, Chen Gong was not found." A man in black trotted over to report.

The black-clothed leader stared at the main residence of Chen Palace and sneered: "I thought it would be okay to hide in the dark room, see how long you can hide, and set it on fire." ā€

The men in black set the house on fire, and soon the wooden house was on fire, and they threw a lot of flammable materials into it, and the fire became even more intense.

The temperature in the darkroom also gradually increases.

A man in black, covered in blood, ran through the front door and shouted, "Chief, it's not good, the soldiers guarding the city have come in." ā€

Five thousand armor-clad city guards surrounded the Xiapi Prime Minister's Mansion, the number of black-clothed men was only a thousand, and more than two hundred people had died in the previous battle with the guards, and the remaining black-clothed men were not the opponents of the city guards at all, and there were more than 100 people left who were killed, and retreated to the backyard.

Captain Wu Bao swaggered in. When the black-clothed leader saw Wu Bao, he knew that the mission had failed.

The black-clothed leader pointed at the little fat man behind Wu Bao and was speechless.

The little fat man looked proud and scolded: "Teasing you, I think I'm really greedy for money." ā€

The little fat man is Zhang Jiuworm, who captured Wu De in Peize in the past.

Wu Bao smiled triumphantly: "How could the people who follow me betray me." ā€

The black-clothed leader ripped off his scarf, and he was Chen Ying, the son of Chen Qi and the younger brother of Chen Deng.

Wu Bao didn't expect to catch a big guy, and said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this the second son of the Chen family, what's the matter, you always go out in person." ā€

When Chen Ying saw that Wu Bao was still alive, he knew that he was going to die, but he still knelt down with hope and begged for mercy: "What happened back then was a misunderstanding, and I didn't expect to force Ling Zun to die." ā€

When he mentioned the events of that year, Wu Bao's eyes were red, Wu Bao's father took the lead in resisting rent, and his legs were broken by the Chen family, and it was this Chen Ying who took the lead.

Back then, the Chen family was powerful, and Wu Bao had to swallow his anger, and today is the time for revenge.

"Big brother, Mr. Gongtai is still in the dark room." The little fat man suddenly said loudly.

Wu Bao calmed down and said, "Tie him up first, and the rest of the people will go with me to put out the fire." ā€

Thousands of people rushed to look for the wells, and many of the nearby residents' doors were pried open and the wells were requisitioned, which frightened the residents into thinking that the soldiers had broken in and looted.

When Chen Gong was found out of the dark room, he had already fainted from the heat, Wu Bao immediately poured cold water on Chen Gong's head, and Chen Gong immediately woke up.

Chen Gong opened his eyes and saw that it was Wu Bao, and said, "Why did you come so late, I almost died inside." ā€

Captain Wu, who was still majestic, immediately wilted, with a flattering face, Chen Gong had the grace of knowing him, and he would have been replaced by someone else.
