Li Chao came out of the barracks with the pirates and slaves, and ran towards the county, and when they approached the county, they slowed down their advance, and under the command of Li Chao, the pirates broke away from the team, and their weapons were hidden, and they walked into the city gate with a little cover-up.

"Stop." The soldiers guarding the gate lowered their weapons and blocked the pirates, "Check." ”

"Brother soldier, we are fishermen from the neighborhood." The pirate whispered, "Because my mother is sick, and our brother has come to the county to ask a doctor to go back and help my mother." ”

"Why didn't your mother come herself?"

"Because she's too sick to get off the ground." The pirate touched his body a few times, took out a little silver, and stuffed it into the soldier's hand, "This soldier brother is fine, let's go in and ask the doctor to see my mother." ”

The soldier weighed the silver in his hand, very light, very little, but at least there was, "For the sake of your filial piety, go in!" ”

"Thank you, big brother, soldier." The pirate crossed the soldier's body, looked at the city gate for a moment, determined the soldier's position, and immediately made a look, and the pirates, who had just been honest, quickly drew their weapons and slashed down at the unsuspecting gatekeeper.

With a scream of 'enemy attack', the soldiers guarding the gate quickly gathered around, but immediately, the pirates and black slaves swarmed up, brandishing the muskets in their hands and shooting at the soldiers guarding the gate, screaming again and again.

For pirates and black slaves, the musket was just a constant reload and pull the trigger, but for the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, the musket was a demonic weapon, every time it sounded, a person died, and the most terrible thing was that every time the gun rang out, it was a large area, and soon, the morale of the soldiers guarding the gate collapsed.

"It's a demon."

"The black devils are coming."

"They've cast a spell."

After a scream of fear, the soldiers guarding the gate began to run back, because Qiongzhou was a place where 'birds don't', it was not cared about by the Manchu court at all, and the soldiers who stayed here were not elite, so they were defeated at once.

After Li Chao saw that the enemy's morale was crushed, he immediately decided, "Qin Yu, you lead a team of people to guard the city gate, and the others will follow me." ”

The team was divided again, a group of people guarded the door, chased and shot at the fleeing soldiers, and killed several of them 'bang bang bang', and the other team of people went straight to the county government under the leadership of Li Chao.

The county magistrate of the county government was working, suddenly, there was a commotion in front, he put down his pen, pulled out his chair, and went out to take a look, but as soon as his hand touched the door, the door was pushed open, and his master broke in, and said with an anxious face: "Oh no, a demon has come in." ”

"Where's the soldier?"

"The soldiers were beaten away." The master gritted his teeth and said: "There are also those officials, as soon as they heard that the demon had come in, they ran away, and they didn't have the idea of sacrificing their lives for righteousness, and they didn't read the books of sages and sages, so they didn't have the courage at all." ”

If they try to resist it, they might be able to stop those demons.

"What about the soldiers in the barracks?"

Master shook his head, "I don't know, but their general soldiers ran away." ”

"Ran away?"

The county commander's eyes widened and he looked at the master in disbelief, "You said he ran away?" That was the chief soldier sent by the imperial court, didn't he know what kind of punishment a general soldier would receive if he ran away? ”

"No matter how strict you are, you can't die, but if you don't run, it's too late." The master is in a hurry, why did the enemy come to the door, and the county order was not in a hurry at all, "Besides, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, as long as we escape from here and operate again, it is not impossible to avoid the death penalty." ”

He said everything he thought in one go, "Of course, it is a capital crime to run away from the battle, but if it is to report to the court, it is different, as long as we send some silver to the princes of the court and ask them to speak for us, we can avoid death." ”

The county magistrate shook his head and sighed, "Let's go!" ”

"What about you?"

"I'll stay."

"My lord." The master was anxious, "It's too late if you don't run now." ”

"But I don't want to run." The county magistrate still shook his head, "I have served as the county magistrate of Qiongzhou for three years, not to mention that I have no merits, but I am also not at fault, and now I am running, doesn't it leave an indelible stain on my body?" I can't do that, so I'm not leaving, even if it's death, I'm going to stay here. ”

"Master, if you want to go, you go." He glanced at his master, and suddenly bowed down, "If you can, please tell the court about the situation here, and ask the court to send heavenly soldiers to exterminate these demons who commit rebellion, which can be regarded as fulfilling the love of you and me working together." ”

The master saw the county order bow to him, and hurriedly helped the county order up, "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

The county order worships the master, this is a clear violation of etiquette, and he was heard by the imperial court's supervision and imperial history, and he has nine heads that are not enough for the imperial court to cut off.

The county order didn't move, and he didn't let the master help him up, and there was a kind of trick in it that if you didn't agree, I wouldn't get up.

Seeing this situation, the master could only smile helplessly, "As your master as the county commander, of course I have the obligation to report the situation here to the imperial court." ”

The county order smiled, the master agreed, this is a good story, if he dies, he will also be famous in history, maybe it will be turned into an opera by future generations, and it will be sung non-stop, which is a great honor for a literati, even if he dies now, he has no regrets.

"Your Excellency." The master glanced at the county order deeply and said goodbye to him, "I'm leaving, don't worry, I will definitely bring the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court to rescue you, please live." ”

"Go ahead."

The master resolutely turned around, waved his hand and stepped out of the door, and as soon as he went out, he retreated again, and a musket, against his chest, pushed him back.

"Both, Master Li wants to see you."

PS: I accidentally wrote the county as a town earlier.
