Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Squire's Son

After breaking through the encirclement of the defenders of Yuyang County, more than 17,000 grassland cavalry broke through all the defense lines in Yuyang County.

After they stepped out of Yuyang County and entered Youzhou, there was no one left to defend against their surprise attack.

These steppe cavalry are like fish returning to the sea and tigers entering the mountains and forests.

Galloping in the land of Youzhou, they did not have the slightest intention of looting, if it was in previous years, they would inevitably sacrifice butcher knives and loot in Youzhou.

But now they don't even look at the many cities in Youzhou, and at this time they only have Shanggu County in their eyes.

Once the Shanggu county town is breached, the army of the steppe can drive straight into the hinterland of Dayu.

The wealthy Dayu Emperor Capital is the place they have coveted for a long time.

When the cavalry of the grassland tribe began to collectively break through the Yuyang County City and enter Youzhou, Song Shilong's side finally blocked the inner city of Yuyang County City after paying some costs.

By this time, it was already bright and the rain had finally stopped all night.

Seeing that the soldiers of the grassland tribe were less than half, and his own bows and arrows and return cannons could also be used normally, Song Shilong, after a brief discussion with General Long, immediately led the army to chase the grassland cavalry.

At this time, they had already understood the intentions of the steppe cavalry and understood the seriousness of the matter.

Although the speed of Dayu's defenders could not keep up with the grassland cavalry, even if the grassland cavalry raided the defenders of Shanggu County, they might not be able to win the battle.

Once their raid reached a stalemate, the 17,000-strong steppe cavalry from the rear from their side would most likely wipe them out.

Even if this cavalry cannot be completely wiped out, the horseback can still cause great damage to its vitality.

What's more critical is that this cavalry ran over from the side of Yuyang County, and if the court investigates it, the defenders of Yuyang County will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

But now, they sent the defenders in time to pursue them, and even if they were liquidated in the future, they could make up for their mistakes and not be caught by political enemies.

Therefore, Song Shilong immediately led a group of defenders to chase towards Shanggu County.

This includes the Jing brothers and the Qi family brothers and sisters.

The reason why I had to bring them with me was also a helpless move.

Just a few days ago, not long after the arrival of reinforcements from all over the country, a team of twenty or thirty people came to Yuyang County.

Although the number of this team is small, their identity is extremely special.

At first, these people claimed to be supporting the feudal army of Yuyang County, and they also took out the corresponding documents and tokens.

Song Shilong didn't care about this.

A few days ago, one of the people in this group found Song Shilong, and he asked to take Qi Ning and Qi Chao with him, and his attitude was arrogant and domineering.

In this regard, Song Shilong, as the uncle of Qi Chao and Qi Ning, of course would not agree.

How can a stranger who wants to take away his nephew and niece who is an uncle doesn't care, even if someone from Qi Mansion has to discuss with him politely, how can he be like this person.

And at this time, it was the time of the battle in Yuyang County, and he had no intention of caring about these guys who didn't know what to do.

But that guy immediately revealed his identity after hearing Song Shilong's disagreement.

It turned out that the guy who came to ask for someone turned out to be Wu Chengwen, the son of the left squire of the military department, and his father Wu Hongjun, as the left squire of the military department, can be said to be the second-in-command of the Dayu military department, and his power is second only to the military book, which can be regarded as a high power.

That's why Wu Chengwen's attitude towards Song Shilong is so arrogant.

In Wu Chengwen's opinion, this Song Shilong, as the deputy general of the Pengzhou Army, can only be regarded as a middle-level military position, and he can't get into his eyes at all.

And the reason why Wu Chengwen wanted to take Qi Ning away was because he was Qi Ning's fiancé whom he had never met.

The Qi family and their Wu family have already set the joy of Wending, and the six rites have also completed Nacai, Mingming, and Najib.

The six rites have become three, and these two families are about to conclude a good relationship between Jin and Qin, and they never thought that Qi Ning, who was the heroine before the recruitment, would run away from home in order to escape from marriage.

This made Wu Chengwen a laughing stock in the circle of princes of the imperial capital for a while, which made him angry.

So he finally learned Qi Ning's whereabouts after all kinds of inquiries.

So he hurried to Yuyang County with more than 20 people, wanting to catch Qi Ning back and teach him a good lesson.

As the top son-in-law of Dayu, there is actually no shortage of women around him, so he has no feelings for Qi Ning.

The reason why he came to arrest Qi Ning and go back was entirely because he wanted to save his face as a man.

Wu Chengwen didn't really care about this marriage, and his marriage with Qi Ning was completely the words of his parents.

And the reason why their father Wu Hongjun chose this marriage for him was completely political.

Wu Hongjun, as the left squire of the military department, can also be regarded as a second-rank high-ranking official in Dayu, and he is also a high-level in the bureaucratic class of Dayu.

But although Wu Hongjun is a waiter from the second grade, he is not as prestigious as other waiters.

The reason is because Wu Hongjun was young and poor, so he didn't know a few big characters, and later joined the army when he was young, because of his burly body and extraordinary appearance, he was elected by the emperor to become a pro-guard.

Then he was favored by a clan lord and became the prince's son-in-law.

After that, he rose through the ranks until he was now the left squire of the military department.

However, in the eyes of other officials, this Wu Hongjun can be regarded as relying on nepotism to come to power, not because he really has the ability.

These people also laughed at him in private: In the past, there was Chun Yu, and now there is Wu Dong's bed, and he doesn't see his hair, but when he hears the words on the pillow, he is green and cloudy, and he is better than ten years of reading.

In fact, it is not to blame other officials for looking down on him, after all, other officials don't just study hard for decades before they can be named on the gold list, while some are killed on the battlefield and exchanged for an official and a half position with a scar.

And this Wu Hongjun did not rely on these formal means.

So when Wu Chengwen reached the marriageable age, Wu Hongjun began to consider letting him marry the daughter of a scholarly family or a hairpin family.

In this way, it is also good to lift the lintel of their Wu family, so that the descendants of their Wu family will not be ridiculed and excluded like themselves.

In the end, under the selection of Wu Hongjun and his wife, the daughter of the Qi family was chosen.

The reason why the Qi family was chosen was because the old man of the Qi family had ruled the world, and although there were many protégés in the court, he no longer had much power, and the Qi family did not dare to shirk it.

After all, those high-ranking families in power don't look down on the Wu family, a family that relies on nepotism.

The second is that Wu Wencheng's mother, the county lord, and Qi Ning's mother were old friends of sisters when they were young, so the Wu family is more sure to promote this marriage.

So in the end, the marriage of the two was decided.

Originally, this was a good thing to raise the prestige of the Wu family, but it was completely turned into a joke by Qi Ning.

Faced with Song Shilong's obstruction, Wu Chengwen didn't know what to do for a while.

However, although he was obstructed by Song Shilong, Wu Chengwen did not intend to give up, so he decided to observe Qi Ning first, to see why this woman would reject him, and at the same time, he also wanted to see what kind of person his fiancée was.

It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, Wu Chengwen completely fell under Qi Ning's beauty.

Wu Chengwen, as the top son of Dayu, is also a playboy with some reputation in the imperial capital of Dayu, and he can be regarded as well-informed about beautiful women.

There are countless famous prostitutes who have been picked by him.

As a veteran of flowers, he has a rare resistance to women's beauty.

But the moment he saw Qi Ning, he was still attracted by Qi Ning's beauty.

In addition, what made him even more difficult to extricate himself was Qi Ning's personality that was different from other women.

That kind of lively personality is completely different from the dusty woman in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.

Those women are all delicate and lovable, and they put on a pretentious posture of wanting to talk and crying before they say anything.

Compared to Qi Ning, those women were simply unsightly.

So at the first time, Wu Chengwen decided that he must take down the woman in front of him, and he must completely conquer Qi Ning.

After making up his mind, Wu Chengwen began to secretly pay attention to Qi Ning's every move, he wanted to thoroughly understand Qi Ning's preferences, so as to win her heart as he liked.

But with his observation, Wu Chengwen found that this Qi Ning was tired of being with Li Yi and a group of people every day.

Not only that, but he even found that Qi Ning had a trace of strange emotion in his eyes every time he looked at Li Yi.

As a veteran of flowers, how can Wu Chengwen not understand this kind of feeling, this is the expression of worship and secret promise.

This made Wu Chengwen feel that his head was a little green, although he and Qi Ning had not officially married.

But the six rites have already completed the three rites, and no matter how you say it, Qi Ning can be regarded as his fiancée.

However, even though he already knew that Qi Ning secretly promised Li Yifang in private, he still did not act rashly.

He even wanted to win Qi Ning's heart, he had to get rid of Li Yi first.

Only when Li Yi disappears completely will Qi Ning be completely dead, and only when Qi Ning dies to Li Yi can he enter Qi Ning's heart.

For this reason, Wu Chengwen began to secretly collect information about Li Yi.

Soon he learned about Li Yi's information, and also knew how Li Yi and Qi Ning met.

Next, he began to plan how to completely get rid of Li Yi, the thorn in the flesh.

However, before he could get along, the grassland tribe launched an attack on Yuyang County.

This made Wu Chengwen panic, although his father was the left squire of the military department, but he himself did not understand the big fight at all.

As a gentleman, he inherited the characteristics of the gentleman very well, and the four bodies are not diligent and the grains are not distinguished.

So he was ready to leave Yuyang County with Qi Ning as soon as possible.

However, before he could open his mouth to propose his idea to Qi Ning, he learned that Li Yi had gone out of the city with five hundred people to attack the camp of the grassland tribe.

This makes Wu Chengwen very unhappy, there is no harm if there is no comparison, the better Li Yi appears, the more incompetent he will be.

Seeing the overwhelming grassland army outside Yuyang County, Wu Chengwen felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

So he found Qi Ning who saw Li Yi leave in the city as soon as possible, and made his identity clear to her.

Faced with this fiancé who seemed to be hollowed out by wine, Qi Ning was all disdainful.

And she was even more sneering at his proposal to leave Yuyang County, and even Qi Ning taunted him that he should return to the imperial capital as soon as possible and hide in his mother's arms.

Qi Ning's ridicule and disdain stabbed Wu Chengwen's fragile self-esteem like a needle.

Plagued by his pride, he directly commanded his subordinates to kidnap Qi Ning.

And Qi Chao really happened to encounter this, so this younger brother, who was usually bullied by Qi Ning, broke out completely.

Qi Chao, who usually looks submissive in front of Qi Ning, is not always like this.

In fact, I am afraid that the real Qi Dynasty himself does not know much, he is usually suppressed too hard by Qi Ning, and he himself does not know his own strength and character.

After seeing that his sister was kidnapped, Qi Chao was completely angry.

He held the Glaive Knife and killed Wu Chengwen's subordinates without saying a word.

These guys originally thought that this little young master of the Qi family was just playing with a long-handled war knife and putting on a few fancy shelves to scare and scare them.

After all, these sons and brothers are all pampered, and a few of them can really dance with knives and guns.

What's more, the Qi family is a scholarly family, and the young master of the Qi family is not healthy.

But when Qi Chao brandished the Glaive Knife and completely cut off a wall tile more than a foot thick, those Wu Chengwen's subordinates realized the seriousness of the problem.

And Qi Chao still did not give up after the knife missed, and once again brandished the glaive knife to kill everyone.

All of a sudden, these people had to draw their weapons one after another to block the counterattack.

But seeing more than a dozen of his subordinates besieging a person from the Qi Dynasty, Wu Chengwen was also completely anxious.

This guy in front of him is Qi Ning's own brother and his future brother-in-law.

Once Qi Chao has three longs and two shorts, not to mention the good things between himself and Qi Ning, even his mother will definitely not be able to spare himself.

So Wu Chengwen had to shout: "Don't hurt his life!" ”

But his words seemed to be shouting the wrong person.

The lethality of Qi Chaoqi, who was in a state of rage, was simply incredible.

The glaive knife in Qi Chao's hand either slashed or slashed, swept for a while, stabbed for a while, and beat Wu Chengwen's subordinates into defeat and retreat.

Several people were hit by the Glaive Knife because they couldn't dodge, and they immediately vomited blood.

You must know that Li Yi specially built the total amount of the Glaive Sword very heavily in order to cooperate with the strange power of the Qi Dynasty at that time.

In this way, even if the Glaive is not tender and kills the enemy with its sharp blade and tip, it can still knock the opponent out of internal damage with the inertia of its weight.

Just when the Qi Dynasty decided to go on a killing spree, Song Shilong appeared and stopped him in time.

However, for this reason, Song Shilong was even more disgusted with Wu Chengwen.

He felt that Wu Chengwen didn't know anything about the general situation, what time was it now, since he was still thinking about the love of his children, he was still thinking about forcibly taking Qi Ning away.

Therefore, in order to prevent the two sides from clashing again, Song Shilong had to take all of them with him, so that even if Wu Chengwen had any careful thoughts, there was no way.

So later, Song Shilong led the Dayu defenders to pursue the cavalry of the grassland tribe, and Qi Ning Qi Chao and Jing Zizheng all went together.

When Song Shilong left, Wu Chengwen was like thunder, so he had nowhere to be angry, and he set his eyes on Li Yi who went to the grassland to attack the camp.

This is why the captain of the city did not allow Li Yi to return to the city.

That lieutenant actually got Wu Chengwen's instructions.
