Chapter 21: Conspiracy (3)
I saw Zhang Long rushing forward quickly, sprinting, drawing his knife, and slashing, all in one go.
Leaned over and slashed the enemy's leg on the left several times, then turned to the right, blocked the dagger that suddenly attacked, and pushed it forward, saying that it was too late and that was fast, only to hear the sound of breaking the air, Zhang Long's hand raised and fell, and the opponent's hand holding the dagger was cut off.
The man in black grabbed his hand in severe pain, and Zhang Long took the opportunity to stab the other party in the abdomen several times.
Zhang Long, who was covered in blood, watched the other party spit blood foaming at the mouth, and slowly fell, and the battle around him ended, the enemies were injured one by one, the two died, and the living ones were all under control. Zhang Long's side was a small number of wounded, except for the two soldiers guarding the storeroom who were seriously injured and needed to be bandaged and rested, the rest were fine.
After ordering the wounded soldiers to rest first, Zhang Long asked people to identify the captured enemies clearly, without exception, they were all the previous cooks and men of the Liu family.
Zhang Long asked people to bandage the injured simply, and the four who were alive were all tied up and thrown into the cellar, not to mention that there was no food and water left, the reason why they were kept was just for interrogation, looking at the injured brothers, Zhang Long couldn't wait to break this group of people into pieces!
Zhang Long didn't have time to pay attention to these people tonight, the brothers were very tired, so starve them all night, and it would be more convenient for tomorrow's interrogation.
Zhang Long then asked the soldiers who were in better condition to continue to stand guard, while the rest went to rest.
Besides, Qu Zichen's side, after playing in Lin'an City for a day, he felt a little tired, and after returning to the restaurant, when he was about to sleep, he received a prompt from the system: "Ding, the host force killed two enemy forces, captured four people, and rewarded 400 points, 400 catties of ordinary rice, 400 catties of flour, 700 catties of vegetables and meat, etc., and the personnel under his command can be upgraded." ”
Hearing this, Qu Zichen was very puzzled, but he also realized that something had happened in Liujia Village, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't go out of the city now, so he informed Zhao Hu, Zhang Da and others, and left for back tomorrow, and then told the guys that although it was difficult for Qu Zichen to sleep at night, he still barely rested for the night.
Early the next morning, several people got up one after another, and after breakfast, they carried some water and dry food, and waited for the city gate to open, and set out on the journey back to their hometown.
It was another half-day rush, because he was more anxious than when he went to Lin'an, and when he arrived at Liujia Village, it was only around noon, Qu Zichen chose to ride directly to the Qu family compound, and after getting off the horse, he didn't care about the tiredness of the horses, handed the reins to a soldier, and asked another soldier to take him to Zhang Long, and asked what happened last night while walking.
Listening to the soldier's description, Qu Zichen's face darkened, and after hurriedly finding Zhang Long, before the other party could speak, Qu Zichen took the lead and said, "What's the matter?" Did you find anything? ”
Zhang Long understood that Qu Zichen already knew what had happened, so he stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "Not yet, their mouths are very hard, they separated the four of them last night, they were hungry all night, there was no food and water, and it was the same today, and the subordinates were ready to interrogate them again tonight when they couldn't bear it." ”
"Well, you're doing a good job, well, I should have killed them all in the first place, and I wouldn't have put you in danger." Qu Zichen regretted it a little.
Zhang Long was different, and said: "My lord, no one knew that they had ulterior motives for entering the Liu family, and Liu Feiyuan had hired them for so long, didn't he find out." Besides, these people looked like someone secretly instructed them, otherwise with the character that others knew when they were in the Liu family, they would definitely not be so hard-mouthed. ”
"I must bring out the mastermind behind them, and the idea of those who dare to touch me and beat me for money is really tired and crooked."
Subsequently, Qu Zichen exchanged some disinfectants, bandages, and anti-inflammatory drugs in the system mall, one for the wounded soldiers, and the other for emergencies.
Qu Zichen also realized that there was not enough manpower.
Two instructors were recruited in the system, named Wu Da and Wu Er, and forty more soldiers were recruited.
This time, Qu Zichen finally became the emperor of Europe, and there were five bronze quality soldiers and four silver quality soldiers, Qu Zichen asked Zhao Hu and others recruited before, a total of eight bronze quality soldiers were listed separately, not participating in any patrols and garrisons, and only responsible for their own safety.
The first twelve soldiers were then upgraded to cavalry, and the remaining twenty-eight soldiers were promoted to sword and shield soldiers, spear soldiers, and bow and arrow soldiers in a ratio of 1:1:2.
Let the four silver-quality soldiers each be in charge of twenty black-iron quality soldiers, and set up a total of four squads, numbered 1234, and the forty veterans of the 12th squad are personally led by Qu Zichen. Temporarily numbered as the 1st Squadron.
Zhang Long is the most experienced, although he is only of black iron quality, but as the presidential leader of forty recruits, he is temporarily set up as the second squadron.
Subsequently, Qu Zichen immediately started to return to the forest camp, and he ordered it to start tonight, operating supplies, etc. Zhang Long was ordered to lead twenty of the newly recruited soldiers first, transport a batch of supplies, and bring all the cattle pulling carts.
It was transported once a night, and then before dawn he led ten soldiers and carts of cattle back to Liujia Village.
