Chapter 228: Outwitting Wancheng
"The green dragon came to the world and swept the yellow sky!" "The green dragon came to the world and swept the yellow sky!" "The green dragon came to the world and swept the yellow sky!" ……
"What's that sound?" Zhang Mancheng heard the shouting of war drums from the other side of the mountain, which became clearer and clearer, and finally heard "The green dragon has descended and swept the yellow sky!" "Eight words.
"It's not good, it's the Blue Dragon Army coming......" The Yellow Turban Thief had heard about the Blue Dragon Army for a long time, but he didn't expect that even the ghosts and gods were on their side, and they began to regret why they wanted to join the Yellow Turban Thief, how good it was to join the Green Dragon Army?
"The Blue Dragon Army?" Zhang Mancheng knew that this slogan was coming for the Yellow Turban Thieves, and thought: Who are they? Was it sent by the imperial court?
At this time, the effect of the five elements disappeared, everything returned to its original state, and a river appeared in front of Zhang Mancheng's troops, and the river was full of the corpses of the Yellow Turban Thief soldiers.
"Hexology...... Definitely sorcery! Zhang Mancheng immediately reorganized the army and changed the route to Wancheng, but unfortunately at this time, the army's morale was chaotic and morale was low, can this still be a war?
Xu Kai asked Li Qingshui: "Is there a shortcut to Wancheng?" ”
"From here to the east, then over a mountain, and then to the west there is a path, but it's not very easy to walk......"
"As long as you arrive in Wancheng one step faster than the Yellow Turban Thief!" Xu Kai immediately led the army to take a shortcut, striving to arrive in advance, and then make preparations early.
Zhang Mancheng's troops were worried all the way, for fear that they would encounter some demons and monsters, and the slightest movement scared them so much that they did not dare to continue to move forward, but fortunately, this Zhang Mancheng was more courageous, and led the way alone in front.
After three hours, the Qinglong army finally came to the foot of Wancheng, in order not to clash with the defenders of Wancheng, only Xu Kai, Luo Ying, Ou Da, Li Qingshui and Ou Ye'er entered the city, and the rest of the men and horses were stationed ten miles outside the city, waiting for instructions.
This Wancheng is quite lively, singing and dancing, there is no sense of crisis at all, and you can see that Taishou is a civilian official when you look at the military appearance. I only know how to govern internal affairs, I don't understand the military, I really don't understand why he should be a taishou, and Kong Rong was also a literati before. Is there no one in the Eastern Han Dynasty?
After walking through a few alleys, I arrived at Li Qingshui's grandmother's house. The family's surname is Guan, I don't know what it has to do with Guan Yu.
"Be careful!" Xu Kai saw that a naughty boy was about to be hit by a flower pot falling from upstairs, so he flew and took him away, but he did a good deed but was treated as a thief. The child's mother yelled that someone had robbed his child, and the soldiers of Wancheng were brought in.
"I'll take it, it's really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs......" Xu Kai couldn't speak Wancheng's dialect, and no one believed him at all, even if he had returned the child.
"Boy, come with us to the county magistrate!" These soldiers were not in a hurry to use force, and the first to write the text muttered a lot, Xu Kai could barely understand some of it, probably the meaning of singing praises for the county guard......
Xu Kai didn't want to make trouble in Wancheng. It's not good to burden Li Qingshui's grandmother's family, so they can only be arrested obediently and let the four of them go first.
Luo Ying and Ou Da believed that Xu Kai could get rid of these troubles, so they didn't make a move, and left with Li Qingshui and Ou Ye'er.
The name of the magistrate of Nanyang County is Chu Gong, Xu Kai laughed when he saw this name, how could he choose such a name? Pig male?
"Bold maniac, why don't you kneel when you see the magistrate?" Chu Gong is really full of belly, can this kind of person fight? You can't wear armor, can you?
"You're not dead, why should I kneel? It's easy to get me to my knees. Put your spiritual seat. Xu Kai's body was stiff, and no matter how the stick of the servant hit his legs, he still didn't move, and his attitude was very arrogant.
This Chu Gong can still understand Xu Kai's words. The official is different, but he quickly turned his face and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, drag me out and behead me!" ”
"Huh? An officer who is a mustard for human life? Damn it! Xu Kai suddenly exerted his strength, and the two swords and axes of the people who pressed him to the execution ground were shocked, and I don't know how many innocent people died in vain in the hands of this faint official.
"Against you? Someone's coming! Before Chu Gong could give the order, Xu Kai's sword was already on his neck.
"What's the call? What are you calling? Why don't you call it? Xu Kai tugged at his beard. I held his chin again, and there was quite a lot of oil and water, and I thought: Is this called oil?
"Heroes spare their lives!" Chu Gong's voice trembled, and the volume decreased a lot, look at him like that, Wancheng is in charge of him, and it will definitely be occupied by the Yellow Turban Thieves!
"You want me to spare your life? What do you have to honor me? Xu Kai took off his official hat and put it on his head, but his eyes were covered because the official hat was too big, and he sweated: "Your head is really big......"
"This hat is not suitable for heroes, I will make one for heroes with celebrities, please ...... heroes"
"you!" Xu Kai threw Chu Gong's official hat casually and put it on the head of the servant, making him get over an official addiction, and said with a smile: "Who wants to wear this kind of thing?" The heat is dead. ”
"That'...... What does the hero want? Chu Gong's hands were still trembling, how could he suffer from Parkinson's disease in an instant like Kong Rong......
"How much property do you have?" Xu Kai rubbed his fingers, as if he was counting money, Chu Gong understood and said with a smile: "You want silver, right?" There are a lot of magistrates in this county! ”
It is very cost-effective to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters, as long as there is a life, are you afraid that you will have no money? He is the head of a county, and it is not difficult to double what he has lost, and the entire Wancheng is under his control, and he can do whatever he wants.
When Xu Kai heard it, he knew that he was a corrupt official, and said with a smile: "I want one million taels of gold and one million taels of silver, bring them quickly." ”
"A million taels?" There are not so many in the entire Wancheng, let alone Chu Gong, as soon as he heard this number, the whole person was spread on the ground, and Khan said: "I don't have so much money to sell Wancheng to you......"
"Really? Then you owe me. ”
"Huh?" Chu Gong's eyes rolled around, and he thought: As long as you can save this life, Lao Tzu will send troops to chop you up!
Seeing his ruthlessness, Xu Kai certainly knew what he was thinking, and continued to ask, "How is it?" ”
"Good!" Chu Gong nodded violently and agreed to Xu Kai's unreasonable request.
Xu Kai was waiting for him, and said with a smile: "Write down the IOU immediately and draw a charge." ”
"It's up to you......" Chu Gong didn't think about it, he wrote an IOU in a few clicks and handed it to Xu Kai, thinking that he had saved his life, and he was smiling, but the fat and oil piled up together were even more unsightly.
Xu Kai didn't leave, and asked, "Chu Gong, you have managed Wancheng for many years, how much do you think this Wancheng is worth?" ”
"Hmm...... About three million taels of silver...... "This Chu Gong has really calculated carefully, it seems that he wants to sell Wancheng to others in the future."
"Okay, just deduct the money you owe me, and this Wancheng will be mine from now on!"
"Huh?" Chu Gong's jaw almost fell, did he just "sell" Wancheng for nothing? (To be continued.) )
