Chapter 0129: Alien Heart
Chu Ying stayed in Ehekulun for nearly three months, but he failed to use all his resources to cultivate and screen his subordinates like Zhou Qingfeng. This led to Chu Ying having only a handful of people at hand, and when he wanted to do big things, he hoped to use brute force to manipulate others to work for himself, if there was no external interference, this way of subduing subordinates was very common in the barbarians, and it was also very effective.
Now the focus of Chu Ying's control is Ekhkulun, and he has no time to pay attention to the fortress outside the city for the time being. After Zhou Qingfeng arrived at the fortress he built, he easily eradicated the house slaves left by Chu Ying, and took back the territory that originally belonged to him.
Reclaiming the fortress is just the beginning of .......
"It's not peaceful in the city." Zhou Qingfeng pacified the slaves in the fortress and climbed onto the wooden fence wall of the fortress. Several people around him had no intention of sleeping, and they looked at the dark night with thunder and lightning.
There were people constantly fleeing from the city, slaves, soldiers, and even Belbezi. In order to reduce the human resources in Chu Ying's hands, Zhou Qingfeng took the initiative to send someone to pick him up, and at the same time kept asking about the situation in the city and Chu Ying.
All those who escaped looked panicked, and few could tell what was really going on inside the city. Many slaves did not even know that Ucha was dead, but they all said that the city was full of blood, and the thunder made people panic.
By daybreak, at least a thousand people had fled from the city. They didn't run around without a head, but purposefully fled to other villages around Ekhkulen. I believe that in less than a day or two, the big thing that Chu Ying has done will spread everywhere.
"Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji, who are stationed in Liuhe Village, will also know about this soon." Zhou Qingfeng didn't sleep all night, and kept standing on the wall of the fortress and staring. Because the fortress was too small and there was not enough food, he received many people who had escaped from the city, but he did not contain a few. Watching the large flow of people walk west along the road, he couldn't help but worry.
"As soon as the people from the Jianzhou Department come, we will surrender immediately." It was Darshan Beizi who had escaped from the city last night who said this. He was one of the few nobles in the city that Zhou Qingfeng had taken in, and he would curse Chu Ying loudly on the fortress wall with Zhou Qingfeng. Now there is no need for Abahai to come forward, and the nobles of Ehekulun have already set their hearts on the state department.
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head to look at Jia Gang behind him, who nodded slightly with a gloomy face, and shook his head slightly. So he said to Dashan Beizile: "We Han people have a saying, called the green mountains that stay are here, and we are not afraid of no firewood, the green mountains of Dashan Beizi are still there, and sooner or later they will be revived." Especially this time Ucha is also dead, who else in the city can compare with you in terms of seniority and prestige? ”
Darshan suddenly laughed, and turned his head to look inside the fortress to be in a slightly better mood. He originally had a good status in the city, and when he escaped from the city, he even brought more than a dozen carts of goods, grain and grass, and more than 50 capable men. Three of his sons are still barbarian warriors who practice the Bone Route, and although their cultivation is not high, they are also a large force.
With such a number of manpower and materials, Dashan is naturally reluctant to go directly to the Jianzhou Ministry, thinking of waiting for the price and selling, maybe he can become the head of the upper department. He also valued the fortress outside the city and wanted to use it as a base to plot a counterattack. It's just that he came one step late, and this place has been occupied by Zhou Qingfeng.
When the two sides met, there was some unpleasantness, and Darshan's sons were fierce and strong, and they wanted to lead troops to forcibly occupy this place. However, Dashan, the cunning guy, calmed down, and immediately expressed his willingness to accept Zhou Qingfeng's command in exchange for taking refuge in the fortress after discovering that Zhou Qingfeng was already in full swing.
"How is Chu Ying in the city?" Zhou Qingfeng is most concerned about this, what he is most afraid of is that Chu Ying is desperate to come to him for trouble, and he really can't escape.
"He gathered a few shamans in the city to carry out blood sacrifices, and killed at least four or five hundred slaves last night, and now his cultivation is skyrocketing, but he can't do without the blood sacrifice array for the time being, and it should take four or five days to come out." Darshan hammered the wall and scolded viciously: "I have already sent someone to Liuhezhai to report, and now I will wait for the army of the Jianzhou Department to come." ”
Grass you mother! Zhou Qingfeng scolded in his heart, and his face was naturally happy. Jia Gang's words came from the military array link: "Look at the heavenly curse and thunder in the sky above the city, Chu Ying should have killed more than 600 people. Under the entanglement of so many unjust souls, Chu Ying couldn't get out for at least ten days.
And if the Jianzhou Department sends a small number of people to come quickly, it will be able to arrive in one day. Even an army of about a thousand people can come in three days. I think Darshan has something else in mind when he says this, he either wants to show that he has the backstage to stabilize you, or he wants to force you to surrender with him. ”
Among the few people around Zhou Qingfeng, Abahai hid in the fortress room and couldn't come out. The woodland servants were sent to pick up Old Man Sun's gang, so that the last remaining twenty or so descendants would starve to death outside. The only one who can discuss things with Zhou Qingfeng is Jia Gang.
Regarding Jia Gang's reminder, Zhou Qingfeng just snorted a few times in his heart. Just now, Jia Gang nodded slightly, meaning that the dozen or so carts and goods brought by Darshan are very oily and watery, and it is worth grabbing them, shaking his head means that Darshan's strength is still there, and it is not easy to deal with the two of us.
Zhou Qingfeng has a bottom in his heart, and he is much more relieved. He said to Dashan: "As long as Chu Ying stays in the city in the past few days and doesn't come out, we don't need to worry. Wait for the army of the Jianzhou Department to come. ”
Darshan also laughed, but he took Zhou Qingfeng's hand and said with a smile: "The eldest concubine of the Jianzhou Department, Abahai, is in your brother's hands, this person has to take good care of it." If you need help, just let me know. I also have a few intimate slaves and maids by my side, who can be sent to the concubine to summon them. ”
Zhou Qingfeng had a smile on his face, but he was scolding Abahai in his heart for showing up in the morning, and Darshan remembered it when he saw it. Thinking about it, he also felt that it was a strange commodity to live in, and he could use it to have a relationship with the Ministry of Jianzhou. Abahai and Zhou Qingfeng are not completely of the same mind, she wants to leave Ehekulun is about to go crazy, maybe she will lean towards Dashan.
With Chu Ying and the Jianzhou Department here, Zhou Qingfeng is already a headache. Now there is another Darshan calculating behind his back, which is really not enough for people's brains. Both sides are deceitful, smiling and hiding knives, both looking for the right opportunity to do it, and they are also being careful.
After such a day, the second day of the blood sacrifice seemed to be safe and secure. It's just that there are undercurrents surging inside and outside the city, and all kinds of messy news are circulating everywhere. Chu Ying didn't move, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't dare to go to the city casually to die. Some of the slaves who escaped from the city did not eat or drink, and some dared to return to the city in search of food, but they never returned.
Zhou Qingfeng opened his eyes to observe, and the black dead qi that enveloped the entire Ehekulun became even thicker. He knew that he was only afraid of more deaths here, and he was also terrified in his heart.
On the third day of the blood festival, Mang Gurtai appeared in the west of the city with dozens of elite horsemen, watching across the river. Zhou Qingfeng held the telescope and saw the huge earth dragon, but he didn't see any superfluous actions of Mang Gurtai. This Fifth Belle was obviously also a little jealous of this blood sacrifice, and he was no longer as arrogant as he was a few days ago.
On this day, Chu Ying did not move, Zhou Qingfeng did not move, and Dashan did not move. The woodland servant came back, and reported that Old Man Sun was leading the team back to Ekhkulun, because the main road was blocked by the Ministry of Jianzhou, the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it would take a few days to return.
On the fourth day of the blood sacrifice, a group of hundreds of Jianzhou elites rushed to Ekhkulun. Zhou Qingfeng saw Huang Taiji's white flag. This means that the two generals who conquered Ehekulun have arrived, but they are still too few, in addition to camping, it is ...... to send people to find Zhou Qingfeng here to surrender.
In the face of the Jianzhou generals who came to surrender, Zhou Qingfeng didn't need to speak, but Dashan took the initiative to refuse. This old fox-like guy said bluntly: "My Wucha head was killed by Chu Ying, and now the enemy is still entrenched in the city before he is dead. If I don't kill this man, I will never surrender to the top and bottom of Ehekulun. ”
Jianzhou General Zuo asked to hand over the eldest concubine Abahai to them first, but Darshan still directly refused: "Now the army is in chaos, and it is not safe inside and outside the city, the eldest concubine has no worries about living in my place, so there is no need to disturb too much." If you want the concubine to leave, we will talk about this matter when Chu Ying is punished and the Jianzhou army is evacuated. ”
Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to take the lead, and let Dashan perform. found that this old fox was really more slippery than he imagined, and he did not give any promise to the Ministry of Jianzhou, but asked the Ministry of Jianzhou to kill Chu Yingxian quickly.
Jianzhou General Zuo, who came to recruit him, didn't say much, and went back to report the news when he got the news. When Zhou Qingfeng saw him off from the leader of the fortress wall, Darshan came to ask Zhou Qingfeng if he could handle it like this?
"There are many people in the Jianzhou Department, and the killing of Chu Ying has only happened in the past few days. If we want to keep our wealth, we need to pay close attention to Concubine Abahai. Let me talk about this, and I will definitely not let Baylor the goat suffer. However, this concubine is expensive, so it is better to transfer it to me for care. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the two Baylors of the Jianzhou Department to explain. ”
Dashan had a good idea, and with a smile, he used Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji to suppress Zhou Qingfeng. But Zhou Qingfeng sneered: "Actually, yesterday Chu Ying also sent someone to ask me for Abahai, and said that as long as we hand over the people, all the past grievances will be written off, and we can leave and stay as long as we want." But I have refused, and the concubine was sent elsewhere by me this morning. ”
"What......?" Darshan suddenly changed his face and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me about such things? ”
"I'm Baylor, you're Beizi, and this fortress is also my territory, so I don't need to tell you everything." Zhou Qingfeng teased and sneered back.
Dashan's expression was uncertain for a while, and after a long time, he sneered: "Okay, okay, you are the master of this fortress, naturally you have the final say." I'm just helping to come up with an idea, and I don't have anything else in mind. ”
Darshan turned his head and returned to his residence in the fortress with a calm face. Several of his fierce sons immediately surrounded him to inquire, and when they learned that Zhou Qingfeng actually hid Abahai, they all scolded angrily, and even opened their mouths to kill Zhou Qingfeng and seize power.
"Stupid! How sure are you that Han kid? Darshan taught in a low voice, "Don't look at his cultivation as low, but he knows the way of the military formation, and he can twist the miscellaneous soldiers into a ball." This fortress is full of his people, and there is a ghost cultivator to help him, and if we really want to fight, we will suffer. ”
"...... Amma, what should we do then?" Darshan's sons asked again. They are all guys with muscles in their brains, and they feel really aggrieved to be suppressed by a young Han boy.
Darshan snorted coldly again and again, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Let's go to the Jianzhou Department, they will definitely help us get rid of that kid." ”
