Chapter 60: The Princely House
Lu Yu was stunned, when did there ever be such a huge Praetorian Guard? Seeing Lu Yu's dazed face, Liu Dongchang added another sentence.
"Your Majesty, the size of the Praetorian Guard has expanded to a thousand people, and Your Majesty also knows about it, so let me bring five hundred people to assist Your Majesty."
Lu Yuxin said that it seems that Li Qingyue is not a fool, his vision and vision are very accurate, and he has expanded the army tenfold in such a short time, which is also a great help to him.
"That's good! Tell the Praetorian Guards, don't be left behind, go! ”
Liu Dongchang said puzzled: "Where to go?"
"Garrison brigade!"
They ran wildly all the way, and in the dark night, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, so this army of more than 500 people was not noticed, and in the blink of an eye approached the city defense barracks.
Another team of more than 10 people carried torches and patrolled back and forth.
Lu Yu turned to look at those Praetorian Guards and asked, "Are you scared?" ”
"Don't be afraid." Everyone's eyes were steady.
The reason why they speak quietly is because everyone is smart, and if they are too loud, they will attract the attention of the guards.
"We want to catch the mouth alive, and if we can, we won't kill it!"
The guards guarding the tower were eliminated by the Praetorian Guards who infiltrated the tower, and five hundred Praetorian Guards rushed down from the tower and were quickly discovered by the guards.
It's a pity that it's too late, in the face of the overwhelming numerical superiority, these people didn't even have time to scream, they were already tied up by five flowers, and the rest did not stop, and rushed directly towards the camp.
In the barracks, there are still soldiers patrolling, but under normal circumstances, the city guards are relatively relaxed, because there is no war yet, and even if there is a war, it will be before the city guards are dispatched, and when the time comes, the Dawu Empire will be over.
Therefore, when the five hundred Praetorian Guards appeared in front of them, everyone was stunned, most of them, before they could make any moves, they had already been put on the throat by an embroidered spring sword, and a few people, holding weapons, did not dare to act rashly, so they could only stalemate with the Praetorian Guard.
At this time, Lu Yu and the others did not enter the camp. Found some drunks, who were holding some women and snoring.
Lu Yu clearly pulled out a few people and threw them aside, the three of them were so drunk that they didn't know what was going on.
"Who, who would dare to disturb my sleep!"
It was a fat man with a shiny face who spoke, because they were all naked, and they couldn't tell who he really was.
"Zhu Nian, you go and knock them."
"Yes." Nod. As he spoke, General Zhu carried a wooden bucket and poured all the dirt on the ground.
Everyone came back to their senses, the spring night was already cold, and now it was raining heavily, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
"What people! Boldly broke into our camp! I'm Starron, the head of the City Guard! Do you know your crimes? ”
"Lu Yu, the guard in Xia Nai, was ordered by His Majesty to come to investigate a murder case that occurred outside the imperial city, and asked Shi Duwei to come with me."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, didn't Shi Dalong and his uncle Shi Jingming send someone to hunt him down? Why did he appear in his own tent?
"Presumptuous, presumptuous. Don't hurry up yet! ”
As soon as Shi Dalong gave the order, those city defense troops who had not been subdued immediately drew their weapons and put on a fighting posture, surrounding them.
Before, it was a surprise, and the guards did not have any resistance at all, but at this moment, the guards had the upper hand, and there were thousands of people, and they immediately surrounded the guards.
"This garbage? How is it possible to command? Not surprisingly, this person should be Shi Jingming's descendant, the head of the household, right? What qualifies such a waste to be an elite leader of you? ”
Seeing that Lu Yu was so timid, Shi Dalong couldn't help but say proudly: "Yes, Shi Jingming is my little uncle!" Scared? Let you live! ”
Lu Yu walked over and slapped Shi Dalong in the face, stunning him.
"Princes and generals, why not?"
This sentence sounded like a thunderbolt from the sky in the guards.
"Is there a kind of prince and general Xiangning?" Some knowledgeable people among the soldiers defending the city naturally understood the meaning.
"These so-called people who worship the generals are all blessed, are they all noble people?" Lu Yu roared.
This time, all the guards understood, and kept repeating the phrase.
"Don't tell me, he is Shi Jingming's nephew, and his identity is even more noble." Lu Yu said.
"Of course! I was more honorable than these inferior people from the beginning, and they were able to be selected into the army and serve as guards, and it was their ancestors who prayed. ”
Although Shi Dalong has fallen to this point, deep in his heart, he still has a sense of superiority.
The guards were the first to think of this question, and they were indoctrinated with inferior ideas from an early age.
Even if they are rewarded by high society, they will be grateful, even if the work is hard, they will complain about God's unfairness to them, and they never think of resisting.
"All living beings are treated equally, without any hierarchical distinction. A person's achievements are not innate. People's lives are their own, and people's lives are fought for by themselves! ”
Lu Yu saw that his words had a role, and hurriedly said, his words full of passion.
"But, even if we live our lives, we can't reach his realm."
One of the guards also had the courage to point to Shi Dalong and asked.
"This is the past, but with Lu Yu, everything has hope, if you are willing to assist us and Your Majesty, everything will be fine!"
"Isn't this an errand for Your Majesty?"
The guards were all confused, they were all acting on orders, thinking that acting on orders was loyalty to the emperor and the Great Martial Kingdom.
"That's natural, you do things for this wine bag and rice bag, and you do things for Shi Jingming, a corrupt official and corrupt official, they do a lot of evil, kill people and sell goods, you are all their accomplices!"
"But......" The warrior choked.
"Have you ever thought that you were once a sheep to be slaughtered? Killed? ”
"I won't forget!"
What's more, the soldiers under his command seem to remember the shame of the past, and their eyes are red - they have worked hard to become a soldier, even if the children of the scholar clan eat, drink and have fun, even if they have no power to restrain the chicken, even if they are bloated, and even need help from others to dress, they are still a general!
Yes, how so? How so? Are they from a better background?
"What are you crying about? If you don't save me, I'll skin you!" ”
Shi Dalong couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded loudly.
"Zhu Nian, you go and block General Shi's mouth."
