Chapter 163: A New Man Comes
With a roar, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed, and the bandits entered the City Lord's Mansion, which also announced the complete fall of Pure Bridge City.
Having captured the city of Pure Bridge, the bandits began to plunder the city. Powerful, powerful, and powerful merchants and squires with strong private soldiers are all tough bones, and it takes a lot of casualties to rob them, so the bandits turn their attention to the civilians in the city.
The actions of the bandits aroused the disgust of Wu Lei and the ministers of the Wu family.
For Wu Lei, the entire Pure Bridge City was a gift from him to Xu Xi, and everything the bandits did was destroying his gift.
The ministers of the Wu family felt sad because of the so-called death of the bandits, and at the same time began to worry about their own tomorrow.
No lord, no king, could tolerate a rebellion, and these bandits were bound to be destroyed, and their families stretched for thousands of years, and they did not want to be destroyed. The most important thing is that Lord Wu Ming was not caught, he fled.
Based on their own interests, the ministers of the Wu family believed that they should remedy it with the slogan of the Qing monarch, declaring that the guards around Wu Ming were traitors, and they sent troops to punish the traitors and eliminate evil. While sending people to hunt down Wu Ming, they sent people to the imperial capital to find Wu Ming's only son, Wu Feng, to come back and inherit the position of head of the family.
The withdrawal of the Wu family's ministers from Chunqiao City made these bandits unscrupulous.
The next night, the mysterious troops, who had been heavily armed, entered the city of Pure Bridge.
The next night, the bandits, led by this unit, launched a fierce attack on the slave traders, big merchants, squires, gangs, etc. in the city.
The entire Pure Bridge City was scorched, all the civilian armed forces were annihilated, and a large amount of luck was gathered.
On the third day, Xu Xi led 1,500 troops to the city, and the two sides clashed for an hour, and after the bandits dropped dozens of corpses, they withdrew from Chunqiao City, and Chunqiao City was then occupied by Xu Xi.
After being driven out of Chunqiao City by Xu Xi, the bandits scattered and plundered, attacking the village and destroying the village.
In the entire jurisdiction of Chunqiao City, both the foreign ministers and the internal ministers of the Wu family ushered in a devastating blow. Twenty or thirty villages could be destroyed in a single day.
On the fourth day, Xu Xi, who occupied Chunqiao City, began to migrate the people of Chunqiao City on the grounds that his troops were insufficient and he could not take care of Dongtu Village and Chunqiao City.
In addition to the more than 6,000 people who died in the war, and the more than 2,000 people who hid and did not take them away, Xu Xi forcibly relocated all the more than 15,000 people back to his Dongtu Village.
There are only 2,000 people left in the city of Chunqiao, and it is in name only.
After four days of trekking, Wu Ming, disguised as a homeless person, finally arrived outside Baili City.
Although the city lord of Baili City and Wu Ming are also known as the city lords, their identities and statuses are very different. Wu Ming is just the lord of a county town, and his title is only a baron. And the city lord of this hundred miles city is the city lord of the state city, and the title is earl.
As a nobleman, Earl Baili has the obligation to regain his lost territory for himself, of course, he also needs to pay a lot of price, but this price is higher than losing his territory.
Hope was ahead, but after taking a step, Wu Ming could no longer move forward because a dagger pierced his heart.
Desperately trying his last bit of strength, Wu Ming lifted the other party's hood and saw a familiar face, it was Li Yi.
"It's you! You dare to kill me, dare to assassinate the nobles! ”
Indifferently twisted the knife around, Li Yi said: "You must die!" ”
Pushing Wu Ming's body away, in the screams of everyone, Li Yi ran for a while and disappeared from everyone's sight. And it was only then that his guards, who also played the role of vagabonds, reacted. There was chaos in front of the city gates.
Wu Ming's death was just a small episode, after losing Pure Bridge City, he lost everything and couldn't make waves.
On the fifth day, the city of Pure Bridge changed.
After Xu Xi left, Pure Bridge City was supposed to become a paradise for bandits again, but on the fifth day, a mysterious army of 100 people came to Pure Bridge City, and each soldier was surrounded by a gray and black mist, exuding an ominous power. The leader did not hide it, he was a handsome and handsome young man. Its name is Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming called himself the high priest of the Shadow God Sect, and led the Shadow God Guard to preach, and anyone who believes in the Shadow God can enter the Kingdom of God at any time, and then live a carefree life there. And in the city, miracles were performed, allowing people who died in poverty to enter the Shadow God Kingdom.
Because there is no owner in Chunqiao City, he temporarily entrenched here, first, to preach, and secondly, to protect the territory and the people.
With the arrival of the Shadow God Cult, order was quickly restored to Pure Bridge City, and because of the relief of the Shadow God Cult, the lives of the people in the city began to improve, only slightly worse than the original life.
After maintaining the stability and basic order of Pure Bridge City, the Shadow God Cult began to do two things.
One of them is naturally to recruit militia to enrich the Shadow God Guard, and a hundred people to guard Pure Bridge City, maintain law and order, and preach, which is too little. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the team and have preferential benefits.
The second is to promote shadow luck. In this world, luck is currency, and in order to solve the problem of people being able to enter the Shadow God Kingdom, Lu Yiming proposed to use the shadow energy as currency, and the profession can make the shadow luck appear on ordinary people, and with the shadow luck, you can absorb the Shadow God Kingdom.
For the second point, Xu Xi strongly supports it. This is not only because the Shadow God Kingdom needs a large number of people, but also because Shadow Luck is much more affordable than Luck Luck, and the key is that it can also be exchanged with Luck at a ratio of one to one. In this regard, Xu Xi has taken a big advantage, and he is equivalent to owning the world's money printing machine.
Although there are many capable people under his command, Xu Xi is still too busy to find the north.
Dongtu Village needs to be built, the soldiers and civilians from Chunqiao City and various villages need to be resettled, the Shadow God Kingdom needs to be managed, the upper limit of Shadow Qi Luck needs to be raised, and Shadow Qi Luck needs to continue to be studied. With all this, Xu Xi, who was busy, was anxious.
At this time, Xu Xi didn't know that he would have a trouble, not a small trouble.
Wu Ming's son Wu Feng has been studying in the imperial capital, although he is only the son of a small baron, but his wisdom and strategy are extraordinary, and he actually got on the line with the little prince, and was led by the little prince as a confidant, and got a lot of resources and light, which allowed him to take advantage of the situation and already run his own small force in the imperial capital.
On this day, at dusk, his henchman, Mo Li, a dragon knight who had been following him after being rescued by him, found him.
"What happened?" Wu Feng knew that there was something big going on in the Earth Dragon Knight Mo Li's search for him.
"Your father is dead."
"What?" Wu Feng was pleasantly surprised and almost laughed. If Wu Ming was really his father, he would naturally be sad, in fact, Wu Ming was not his father, not that he was the child of Lao Wang next door, but that he was also a Dingshi trialist.
