Chapter 515: Repentance
Xiong Li raised the big knife and stepped forward, Xiao Feng stuck the embroidered spring knife on the ground with his left hand, supported his backward body, and raised the musket again with his right hand.
Xiong Li laughed: "Still here? Don't you know that the empty city can only be sung once? Back then, if Kong Ming dared to sing for the second time, Sima Yi would have hacked him to death a long time ago! ”
With a bang, Xiong Li's whole body was shocked, he took a step back, lowered his head and looked at the bullet hole in his chest incredulously, and blood was gurgling outward.
He opened his mouth to say something, but a bubble of blood blew out of his mouth, like a fish out of water, and then his tall body like a bear slammed to the ground.
The soldiers were so frightened that they took a step back, and even the two groups of men who were fighting fiercely in the woods stopped and looked this way, not knowing what was happening.
Xiao Feng sighed, slowly got up, holding the embroidered spring knife in both hands, and looked at Xiong Li who was lying on the ground twitching.
"I actually had ammunition in this gun, but I knew that it would be difficult to hit you with one shot with so many soldiers, so I pretended to pull the trigger, but it wasn't.
When I rolled over and grabbed the musket just now, although the chances were better than then, they were still a little far away, and there were soldiers by your side who could be used as meat shields.
What's more, with my current physical strength, my marksmanship may not be as accurate as usual, so I didn't really hold the fire, so you think I was scaring you with an empty gun.
In your panic, as I expected, you repeated your tricks and used your brother as a meat shield. You must be annoyed and angry in front of everyone's eyes, and you think that I have an empty gun in my hand, so you are no longer on guard.
So in the end, you swaggered over, there was no barrier between the two of us, just a few steps away, I could hit your key point even if I was blindfolded.
However, my hands were shaking too much, and it was originally the safest headshot, but in a critical moment, dodging was also the fastest part of the human head. To be on the safe side, I chose your broad chest.
God forbid, you didn't wear any legendary baby armor, if this shot can't kill you, I guess you will have to cut off more than just my hands and feet. ”
Xiong Li had blood bubbles in his mouth, and he only felt that Xiao Feng's narration was very annoying, could I really be relieved to be dead? Bah!
Xiong Li ran out of breath, Xiao Feng looked at the soldiers around him, knowing that they were now at the critical point of collapse, and they could either scatter in a hurry or hack themselves to death.
So he shouted as quickly as he could, in the happiest tone: "Congratulations to everyone, Xiong Li is dead, everyone can finally abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"
Mrs. Big Toast and Young Toast are here, knowing that you are all coerced by Xiong Li! They swore that as long as you were loyal to the Great Toast, each of them would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and they would not blame the past! ”
Ke Zifan was stunned for a moment, his reaction was a little slow, he didn't know if he should swear this oath, Mrs. Da Tusi had already raised her finger to the sky.
"The sky is above, the god of Chiyou testifies, I guarantee the life of the whole family, as long as you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the Great Tusi Mansion will not be blamed in the past, and each person will give one hundred taels of silver!"
Ke Zifan hurriedly followed, parroting and repeating. The soldiers all stopped their attacks and regrouped, looking at the group in front of them.
There was still doubt in their eyes, and they whispered to each other, discussing what to do with their usually friendly brothers.
The reward is of course extremely tempting, but after all, he followed Xiong Li to rebel, what if the big toast settles accounts after the autumn? Is this oath credible?
Xiao Feng knew that this was the most critical moment, and the rebels' concerns were very deep, and he wanted to completely convince everyone with just a few words, which was the protagonist's aura.
Therefore, he raised his hands: "You know that I am the junior brother of Long Live today, Wenxuan Zhenren, the Great Tomorrow Master, the Zhongshu Sheren, the Governor of Jiangnan, and the Prince's Teacher......"
The soldiers said that we know, you can say what you want to say quickly, we can't remember so many titles, in short, we know that you are very good.
"I am willing to bind myself and be a hostage in your hands, if the big toast dares to disobey me and not fulfill my promise, you will kill me with one sword!"
Everyone behind Xiao Feng was shocked and shouted together: "Lord Xiao, don't do it!" How can an adult's daughter be so dangerous! ”
Xiao Feng thought to himself, it's not that I want to take risks, there are more than 300 of these soldiers, they really want to kill, we all have to die, I'm just making a gesture.
The exclamation of the crowd only increased the trust of the soldiers, and they felt that Xiao Feng was indeed a great man, and he had enough weight as a hostage.
Therefore, they agreed, confiscated the knife and gun in Xiao Feng's hand, tied their hands, and prepared to go back to the Great Tusi Mansion.
They actually have other Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, return to Tusi Mansion, and then wait and see the situation, if Xiao Qin's side wins, they will continue to follow Xiao Qin.
If Xiao Qin's side fails, and Da Tusi regains control of the situation, then let Xiao Feng force Da Tusi to swear and fulfill his promise!
As soon as I walked out a short distance, I arrived at a three-way intersection, and I saw smoke and dust billowing on the right, and the sound was noisy, as if a large group of people were coming. Everyone stopped and looked ahead suspiciously.
It is true that there are brigades of people, there are no horses, and not an army. Countless ordinary people with kitchen knives, hoes, stool legs, bows and arrows, and steel forks walked over in a dark manner, and there were at least a few thousand people in the posture.
Miaojiang is densely forested, and the people are half-ploughing and half-hunting, so every household has a bow and arrow steel fork for hunting.
The soldiers looked at each other, and finally one of the usually prestigious ones stood up and shouted: "There is the Great Tusi Mansion in front, what are you doing here?" ”
Those people recognized these people as the guards of the Great Tusi Mansion, and instead of being in awe, they raised their steel forks, drew their bows and arrows, and looked ready to fight.
The soldiers were taken aback, the other side was outnumbered, and if they really wanted to fight, their side would be defeated. It's just that the people of Miaojiang have always been loyal to the big toast, what's wrong?
The leading soldier shouted, "Are you crazy? We are the people of the Great Toast House! Are you going to rebel? ”
A cold and hard voice came from among the people: "The big toast has been controlled by Xiao Qin, and the toasts have been found by the big toast for a meeting, and they will also be forced to rebel against the court."
These people do not want to rebel, and they want to go to the Great Tusi Mansion to petition! As the guards of the Great Toast Mansion, you can't protect the Great Toast, but let it be controlled by traitors, you are a rebel! ”
The soldiers craned their necks, only to see that the guy who was speaking wildly was a Han man in a shabby official uniform, and some of the soldiers shouted out.
"It's the patrol Shi Hairui! My brother is studying in the school he opened! I was almost expelled because of the school officer! ”
The people in the crowd also recognized the soldier, and a dry old man squeezed out of the crowd and stepped forward to slap him.
"Bastard, I didn't go home for so many days! I used to tell people that our family is a relative of Master Tusi, and my son is still a guard in the Great Tusi Mansion, how glorious it is?
It's good now, Lord Hai said that the big toast is being controlled, are you guards all eating dry rice? Can't even protect the big toast? ”
These guards were originally from various villages in Miaojiang, and they were all famous warriors who were selected to the Great Tusi Mansion, and at this moment, most of them had relatives and friends in the crowd.
For a while, the voices of calling for dad and mother, the second and third children were endless, and there were also some other grievances.
"Bai Laosan, you climbed the attic of my second girl in the middle of the night, and said that it has been more than two years since you married her, and you can't see your figure! Do you kid want to deny it? ”
"Can you blame me? If you open your mouth, you will be ten pigs and a cow, and I will work hard here, and the money I have saved is enough for eight pigs, and the cow legs are still invisible! ”
"Then don't blame me, my son is going to marry the daughter of the blacksmith's family, and he is offering this price! If you don't give it to me, I'll give it to him! ”
"That's not right, you two daughters, one son! So I should only need five pigs and half a cow to marry Ernizi, right? ”
"Heh, will you settle the score? Lao Tzu is in the prime of life, and he can still give birth, what if he has another son? ”
In the chaotic large-scale confession scene, Hai Rui suddenly saw a small group of remnants following behind the soldiers, he was taken aback, and then recognized Zhang Wuxin, who was swaying three times.
Hai Rui shouted loudly: "Zhang Wuxin, Zhang Wuxin, Lord Xiao said that you are going to rescue Da Tusi's family, where is Lord Xiao?" ”
The soldiers were silent, glanced at each other, and then dodged away, revealing Xiao Feng who was surrounded in the middle.
He was dressed in green and white robes, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was calm and relaxed, looking at Hai Rui with a smile.
Hai Rui really still has two hits, but nothing else, it is indeed strong to subdue the people.
The people of Miaojiang are also the people, and if they are the people, they will be moved by officials like Hai Rui, although his ability in other aspects is average.
Hai Rui was solemn, tidied up his shabby official uniform, bent down, and said loudly to the crowd.
"Xiaguan Miao Jiang Patrol according to the Imperial History and Miao Jiang Professor Hai Rui, see the Cabinet Second Assistant, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, the Great Tomorrow Master, Xiao Feng Xiao!"
Originally, Hai Rui would never call Xiao Feng "Great Tomorrow Master", but this time Xiao Feng succeeded in asking for rain as a Daomen, and Hai Rui had to mention such a sentence to ensure the reaction of the masses.
Everyone was stunned, and the people saw Xiao Feng sandwiched between the soldiers, and suddenly an old man reacted.
"Lord Xiao? Is it the Great Tomorrow Master who begged for rain for the Ming Dynasty in the capital and came back from the dead, Lord Xiao Fengxiao? ”
Hai Rui said: "Exactly, what I said in the school, the matter of the imperial court's student assistance is also promoted by Lord Xiao. ”
The masses are boiling, and everyone has been talking about the matter of asking for rain for several days, especially the people at the bottom, who feel this even more strongly.
Not to mention the imperial court's student aid, that's real money thrown in! The families of the people present have more or less benefited from this policy.
Hai Rui suddenly asked, "Why is the adult being roped?" But is there any misunderstanding? ”
The air suddenly became heavy, and the soldiers all tensed, not knowing what Xiao Feng would say.
These thousands of ordinary people, some of whom know and some who don't, really want to provoke the anger of the public, one person and one punch, and they are still flat after being cured.
Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "Xiao Qin colluded with the high priest to detain the wife and son of the great toast and coerce the great toast to rebel. We went to rescue the Big Toast family.
These soldiers...... They should have gone to the rescue as well, probably misunderstanding that I was a bad person, so they arrested me and went back to see Da Tusi.
It's nothing, when we see the big toast, the misunderstanding will naturally be resolved. ”
A few soldiers with quick brains immediately helped Xiao Feng untie the rope and nodded again and again.
"Yes, yes, we are going to rescue Mrs. Big Toast and Young Toast, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Xiao Feng moved his arm and said with a smile: "I'm just afraid of the big toast and the toast, now it's almost unbearable, let's speed up." ”
The big toast and the toasts are really about to be overwhelmed. After the big toast broke the kettle and told the truth of the matter, the situation changed.
Except for a small number of toasts who had already secretly communicated with Xiao Qin and didn't care about the big toast, the remaining neutrals and wavering factions turned over and joined the ranks of opposing the rebellion.
But after all, Xiao Qin's rebels are numerous, and when you come to the Great Tusi Mansion, you usually only bring two or three guards, and there are not many people in total at this time.
Fortunately, Xiong Li took away half of the guards who were loyal to him, and some of the other half of the guards were also coerced with Da Tusi before.
Now seeing that Da Tusi is resisting, this part of the guards is also rebelling, so they can barely resist for a while.
There are still dozens of people from the White Lotus Sect in Xiao Qin's camp, and their kung fu is far higher than that of ordinary guards, under the leadership of Xiao Qin and Yun Girl, they are getting more and more advantageous, and the big toasts and the toasts who follow them are already in danger.
An earth-shattering shout suddenly came from outside the Great Toast Mansion, and then the door of the mansion was slammed open.
More than 300 guards followed by thousands of people rushed into the Great Tusi Mansion, shouting slogans in their mouths.
"Eliminate the anti-thief Xiao Qin and rescue the big toast!"
"Don't be afraid, big toast, we're here to save you!"
"Da Tusi, we have rescued your wife and son!"
"Big Toast, you swear first! The past is not to blame, a hundred ...... Anyway, your wife has already agreed! ”
Xiao Qin was shocked, he thought that even if Xiong Li couldn't completely annihilate Xiao Feng and the others, at least he could beat them away, and he would definitely have no chance to harm his own affairs.
Unexpectedly, this idiot not only didn't do it, but also turned back? And what's going on with the chaotic people in the back? Thinking that Xiong Li had many handles in his hands, Xiao Qin shouted.
"What about Xiong Li? Is he crazy, he wants to turn back now, he has no chance for a long time, where is he? ”
"General Xiong Li took five hundred guards to Gu Shenshan to rescue the lady and Shao Tusi who were detained by you, and fought fiercely with the high priest, General Xiong Li and more than 100 guards were unfortunately killed.
The Ming court got the secret help of the big toast, and Xiao Feng brought people to the rescue, and happened to encounter this battle halfway, so he rescued the lady and the young toast together with the guards of the big toast. ”
Xiao Feng's words made Da Tusi stunned for a moment, and then Da Tusi saw that his wife and son were safe and sound, and he immediately knew in his heart.
Not to mention that Xiong Li has betrayed himself, he will never bring someone to save his family. Even if you really want to save it, it is absolutely impossible to rely on five hundred guards to attack Gu God Mountain.
Gu worms are everywhere on the Gu God Mountain, there are many priests and Gu women, and the methods of the high priest are even more unfathomable, if he really wants to turn his face with the high priest, then he has to prepare a large team of men and horses, and it is possible to fight to the death, how can five hundred people win?
It must have been Xiao Feng who led the Ming army to exterminate Gu Shenshan, rescued his wife and children, subdued Xiong Li's guards, and turned his head to bring people to rescue him.
He didn't ask the court for help, but the last time Xiao Feng came to save Hai Rui, he already knew that he was coerced, and it was reasonable to save himself in order to eliminate the sprouts of Miaojiang's rebellion.
As for why Xiao Feng said this, Da Tusi also knew it.
After all, Gu Divine Mountain is the Miao Jiang Divine Mountain, and the high priest has a very high prestige in Miao Jiang after all. Even if he conspired with Xiao Qin to calculate the big toast, it was also an internal contradiction in Miao Jiang.
Xiao Feng led people to kill the high priest and destroy Gu Shenshan, although it was to help the big toast, but in any case, it could be regarded as intervening in the internal affairs of Miao Jiang by violent means, and some little toasts were afraid that they would feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Qin has been active in Miaojiang for a long time, and she also has influence on some small toasts. If this is used as an excuse to incite the situation, it will still be difficult to calm down the internal disputes in Miaojiang.
Now as soon as Xiao Feng opened his mouth, he pushed everything on the head of the Great Toast, Gu Shenshan was destroyed by the Great Toast, and the High Priest was killed by the Great Toast, which is much better.
This feeling is like Zhu Di drove Zhu Yunwen away, and Zhu Qizhen plotted against Zhu Qiyu, most of the people of the Ming Dynasty and even the civil and military officials turned a blind eye - anyway, it is the internal contradiction of your old Zhu family, and it is our business.
But if Yan Shifan wants to be the emperor, it will be difficult, first of all, the hundred officials will not do it, we will recognize the surname Zhu, not the surname Zhu is not to talk!
It will be even more difficult when Xiao Qin wants to be the emperor, and even the people will not agree. Yan Shifan is still Han Chinese, and you want to be an emperor as a Khitan?
Thinking of this, the big toast immediately took the pot firmly and carried it on his back.
"Yes, I asked the Ming court for help! After the little Ke Zifan sent an envoy to the imperial court, the imperial court encouraged Miao Jiang a lot, and also spent money to help students, which was very friendly and attached importance to my Miao Jiang.
The hateful thief Xiao Qin, the wolf's ambition, madness, colluded with the high priest, robbed my wife and children, forced me to rebel, and tried to pull the people of Miaojiang into the abyss.
I have the grace of my ancestors, as the great Tusi of Miaojiang, how can I ignore the Tusi brothers and millions of people of Miaojiang because of the safety of my own family?
So I asked the Ming court for help on the one hand, and persuaded Xiong Li on the other. Xiong Li was originally deceived by Xiao Qin, but later repented and led the troops to the rescue, but unfortunately he was killed, alas, alas! ”
Da Tusi actually squeezed out a few tears, and the guards who wanted him to swear were immediately relieved.
Since he admitted in public that Xiong Li was not rebellious, then his guards were naturally not rebellious, and he would not look for a future account in the future.
And the overall rebellion of his own guard corps is indeed not a glorious thing for the big toast, and it is related to his prestige in front of other toasts.
So there is a high probability that he will suffer a dumb loss, deny the matter head-on, and slowly dismiss these people in the future.
In order to show their loyalty, these soldiers actively attacked Xiao Qin and his gang, and the battle was extremely heroic. Xiao Qin's guards were already panicked, and when they saw the army of the Great Tusi coming to help, they knew that they were invincible, and they shouted one after another.
"We are also deceived by Xiao Qin, a thief, and we are also deceived by it! We need to repent too! ”
It's a pity that those who repented first were unwilling to give those who came after them a chance to repent, and their repentance was indeed too far-fetched.
You were still using knives and guns at you toast just now, and now you are repenting when you say repentance, what about playing? It's just that the big toast is willing to suffer this dumb loss, and others can't eat it.
Unlike the more than 300 people who repented first, they didn't do anything to the toasts, and now they are indeed back with their wives and young toasts, and this lie can be told roundly.
Xiao Qin gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Feng, eager to bite him to death. But he knew that the tide was over, and there was only a dead end to stay. Immediately, the girl took advantage of the chaos and quietly approached the stable in the backyard.
"The White Lotus Sect listens to the order, concentrates its strength, and kills the Great Toast, and the Ming King Bodhisattva will be able to lead you to the Elysian World, or become a big landlord!
Guards, don't be lucky, they won't spare you, fight for glory and wealth, take a step back and kill you! ”
