Chapter 8: Kill In
Xie Qian gave up the assault and instead let his rebels rest on the spot, and the rebel soldiers who had been tired for a day buried their pots and prepared to eat and drink. At the same time, in the courtyard of the Zhang family, there is also rice fragrance wafting out, which is quite punctual, and the two sides eat together, which is quite tacit. Xie Qian was afraid that the people of the Zhang family would be killed, so he himself took a team of people and was on guard.
Father Zhu looked bitter, came to Zhu Yiyuan's side, and whispered to his son, "It's all our family's food, and it's all your mother's hard work." ”
What can Zhu Yiyuan say, "Just think of it as a disaster avoidance." ”
Father Zhu was even more miserable, "I'm afraid that the wealth will be ruined, and disasters will be inevitable." If we can't open the Zhang family compound, Xie Qian will kidnap us and run, I'm really afraid that our grandfather will die halfway. ”
Zhu Yiyuan felt that his father's words were quite reasonable, "If you don't work hard and ask Leader Xie for some weapons and armor, this time the seventh master will take the lead, and we can't lose." ”
Hearing this, Dad was stunned for a moment, shook his head hard, and hurriedly chased Xie Qianqian.
Zhu Yiyuan came to Tan Qiye and discussed with a few villagers.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, Father Zhu came back with eight sharp blades and five pairs of armor.
"That's all there is to it, put it on."
Tan Qiye hurriedly thanked him, he chose a Yanling knife and put on a piece of chain mail, and the other eight Qingshi set young men also divided the weapons and armor, and each of them was armed, and there were a few who did not have armor, so let them follow.
"Seventh Master, I don't have anything to say, this time, you are not for a fortune and promotion, just for the villagers to live. If the Zhang family can't be opened, the leader Xie will withdraw, except for a few young people who can follow, the other fathers and villagers will be thrown down, and the Zhang family and the Qing court will inevitably settle accounts after the autumn, and I am afraid that no one will survive at that time. So I would like to invite a few villagers to be in high neighborhood, no matter what, be sure to succeed. ”
Zhu Yiyuan was not in good health, and he jumped into the well again for a few days, and he never recovered, otherwise he really wanted to act with the big guy.
Tan Laoqi nodded, "Master Zhu made it clear, Liu Bao, you lead the way in front, if you dare to escape, the seventh master will stab you to death with a knife!" ”
Liu Bao is the mason who repaired the house for the Zhang family, he works all year round, is strong, carries weapons, and is also very powerful.
"Seventh Master, you have an old mother and wife, and I also have children, when it's time to work hard, who can be a bad seed?"
On their side, they were boosted by their fighting spirit, and on the other side, Xie Qian also returned from his inspection, he did not look at Tan Laoqi and the others, but went straight to Zhu Yiyuan.
"Zhu Gongzi, how are you going?"
Zhu Yiyuan thought for a while and said: "Leader Xie, you can't wait now, it's best to reorganize the team, display the flag, light a bonfire, and make it look like you will continue to attack to attract the people of the Zhang family." ”
Xie Qian thought about it again, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
After speaking, Xie Qian turned around and left, as if Tan Laoqi and the others did not exist.
And Tan Laoqi and these people don't want to see Xie Qian, anyway, they listen to Zhu Gongzi. A small circle around Zhu Yiyuan has begun to emerge.
Whether it can be officially formed depends on how the next battle goes......
Zhu Yiyuan's heart lifted and looked anxiously in the direction of Zhang's house.
In fact, according to his judgment, if the soldiers of the Zhang family were killed at this time, they should have at least a seventy percent chance of winning.
But the weird thing is that in the Zhang family's mansion, there is no sign of any dispatch, so I can only sigh, there is an excellent matching mechanism.
If you don't pull your hips the same way, how can you get together?
Zhu Yiyuan had a slight guess in his heart, because he almost killed him several times today, but he was defeated by the strange soldiers sent by the Zhang family, and according to some villagers, they didn't know this group.
It looks like a bodyguard that the Zhang family got from outside.
Since it's a business, let's talk about the price......
"Master Zhang, this gang of thieves is quite capable of fighting, I lost more than ten brothers today, and even I was stabbed." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, and his biggest feature was that one of his front teeth was missing, and it was said that he was shot down with an arrow.
This person's surname is Wang, called Wang Qing, if you ask about his experience, it is very interesting, this once served as a Ming army, and later fought for Gao Yingxiang, then Li Zicheng, and then Da Ming, Da Shun...... He is currently striving to become a soldier of the Qing Dynasty.
All in all, this is an old fritter in the field, the kind that the famous hare and the eagle can't catch.
Zhang Xu was killed a few days ago, but the Zhang family was hurt, and they were worried that Xie Qian would be killed, so they spared no expense and recruited Wang Qing to help take care of the family.
The two sides discussed properly, and the Zhang family wanted to give three thousand taels of silver to these 100 people first, and then they would help them go through the door of Zhao'an and become soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.
The Zhang family agreed without hesitation, but today, Wang Qing quit, he leaned back in his seat, tore open his shirt, and exposed his wounds.
"Master Zhang, we were born and died, shed blood for you, and lost our lives."
How could Zhang Quan not understand, he wanted to add money!
He frowned and said, "Brother Wang, the price we negotiated is untrustworthy and unfavorable, and I have promised to give you more grain, pigs and sheep." If you can kill Xie Qian, I'll give you an extra gift, it's not impossible......"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Qing laughed and said, "Master Zhang, it's been a day of fighting, I know how much Xie Qian is." It is my duty to protect the safety of the Zhang family. It's just that whether you want to repel them or not and let Master Zhang sleep in peace depends on you, Master Zhang. ”
Zhang Quan was pinched to death, he hesitated again and again, and finally sighed: "Brother Wang, let's do it, I'll add another five hundred taels to you." ”
Wang Qing said viciously: "It's not enough, two thousand taels!" ”
Zhang Quan's face was ugly, this product was really insatiable. He continued: "Listen to me, I will help Brother Wang find a way to make you the general manager of Zichuan County!" ”
"Put the total?" Wang Qing became interested, "What you said is true?" ”
Zhang Quan smiled helplessly, if this was in the Ming Dynasty, even if he commanded a military attache at the first level, it would not be difficult, but in the Qing Dynasty, the Zhang family was not as good as before.
"Please rest assured, Brother Wang, even if it is a small boss, even if it is bought with money, I will help. With you guarding Zichuan, let's watch and help each other, and I will feel at ease. ”
Wang Qing lowered his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I don't want five hundred taels, but I want to be the general manager within half a month!" ”
Zhang Quan immediately said: "Then your brothers must shave their hair, so that the court can be peaceful." ”
Wang Qing thought about it again and again, and finally nodded, "Cheng, that's it." ”
Getting what he wanted, Wang Qing was very excited, and finally had a bright day.
Bandits like him are everywhere, and there are as many as cows.
Even Xie Qian is one of them.
It's just that Xie Qian is bent on resisting the Qing Dynasty, and Wang Qing will work for whoever gives him benefits. Now it is obvious that the Qing court is powerful, if you can rely on the help of the Zhang family and mix with an official and a half-job, it will be the ancestral tomb with green smoke.
He also didn't care about the injury, and immediately ordered his men to prepare. He personally went up to the courtyard wall of Zhang's house and looked outside to observe the situation of Xie Qian's rebels.
The bonfire was raging outside, and Xie Qian also sent people to attack, but as long as he saw the Zhang family fighting back, he immediately retreated, and there was no intention of attacking.
And as time went on, the rebels became more and more tired, and many people couldn't stand it anymore, leaning on the ground, ready to sleep.
Wang Qing couldn't help laughing when he saw it in his eyes.
"Xie Qianzhen is a slave. With this little ability, you still dare to fight me? Order, three more attack. After he had given the order, he came down from the courtyard wall, and suddenly he thought of something, and asked, "Is this courtyard wall still strong?" There are no loopholes, right? ”
Immediately, a member of Zhang's family said proudly: "The courtyard wall of our house is rammed earth inside, covered with blue bricks on the outside, and the foundation is made of strips of stone...... Even the city wall of Zichuan County is not as strong as our home, please rest assured. ”
At this moment, Wang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, even the Zhang family was so sure, what else was he worried about. just waited for a battle to defeat Xie Qian, and then the scenery became his own leader.
Time passed, seeing that the time to kill was getting closer and closer, suddenly, from the back of the Zhang family's compound, a wisp of smoke jumped up, and after a while, the smoke was billowing and the flames were flying.
The direction of the fire was the straw stack of the Zhang family's granary.
"What's going on? Who accidentally walked on the water? ”
Zhang Quan was furious and hurriedly asked the family to check, but these family members had just arrived, and before they could see clearly, they were attacked by a sneak attack.
The Yanling knife in Tan Laoqi's hand stabbed into the chest of a family member, and Liu Bao actually cut off a head at about the same time! They were covered in blood and set fire everywhere and shouted to kill.
And at this moment, the back door of the Zhang family's compound suddenly opened, and the rebels who had been waiting for a long time rushed in like a swarm.
Among this group of people, there is Zhu Yiyuan......
