Chapter 138: Assault on Ao Cang (2)
At the head of Aocang City, the doorman said to Chen Ao worriedly: "My lord, opening Aocang privately to release grain is a big crime, once King Qi investigates it, it is not a joke." ”
"King Qi will not pursue it. Chen Ao put his hands behind his back and said lightly, "I only used a few dozen stones of grain, but I helped him exchange it for the people's voice of benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, he was too late to be happy, how could he be investigated?"
"Dozens of stone grain?" Mao Dun said in amazement, "There are so many hungry people, it's only enough for them to drink!"
There were 50,000 hungry people gathered at the foot of Ao Mountain, and a few dozen loads of grain were really only enough for these hungry people to drink, and it was also porridge soup so rare that it could show the shadow of a person! They didn't know that Chen Ao's move was just for a show, just to gain a reputation, and not to really give relief to the hungry people.
"There's no way around this, this official only has this authority. Chen Ao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Hou Jun, Wang Hu troubles the two of them to go to guard the porridge shed, once the hungry people make trouble and collide with the porridge shed, they will be killed immediately!"
"No!" the two heavily armed doormen suddenly agreed, and immediately took the order.
Chen Ao breathed a sigh of relief, and searched aimlessly for the hungry people at the bottom of the mountain, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find the beautiful girl he saw last night, and he couldn't help but feel lost in his heart.
。。。。
Xiang Zhuang and Chen Ying walked into the porridge shed, squeezed into the hungry people who were queuing, slowly lined up, and received two bowls of gruel that were shining brightly.
This scolding was very harsh, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't stop it.
The dozens of soldiers guarding the porridge shed immediately looked at each other, their expressions were not good, and a few small colonels with long swords strode towards Chen Ying.
The hungry people next to him flashed to the side in horror, and only a kind old man hurriedly persuaded: "Young man, it's good to have a thin mouth, it's good if you don't starve to death, you quickly admit your mistake to this general, right?" ”
The little colonel unceremoniously pushed the old man away, and walked straight to Chen Ying, Chen Ying wanted to pull out the knife with his backhand, but he was stopped by Xiang Zhuang again, and he had to stop at the moment.
The little colonel strode up to Chen Ying and shouted: "You kid is impatient, drink if you want, if you don't drink, you will roll with Lao Tzu, don't sprinkle the wild for Lao Tzu here, before I draw my knife, get out of here!"
"You, you bastard, dare to talk to your grandfather like this, I'll let you taste your grandfather's power today!" Chen Ying said angrily and swung a heavy fist over, the little school was caught off guard, his eyes were golden, his anger was furious, he pulled out his sword with a bang, and shouted: "You kid is looking for death, come here, take down this Diao Min for me!"
Dozens of soldiers rushed over quickly, Xiang Zhuang rushed forward at the moment, and held down the hand of the little colonel who was beaten to hold the sword, and increased the strength of his hand, the little colonel's face changed greatly, and he cried out in pain, and couldn't help but beg for mercy: "The hero spares his life, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the hero spares the villain." ”
When the other soldiers saw this, they were too frightened to approach, but they surrounded the three of them.
Xiang Zhuang said in a deep voice: "My brother doesn't know anything, I apologize on his behalf, if you let them all step down, I will let you go!" The little school's face was pale and trembling with fright.
At this moment, a burly officer and soldier strode over and shouted angrily: "What are you still doing, Ao Cang has an order, all the hungry people who make trouble during the grain release period will be killed immediately!" With a wave of his hand, dozens of soldiers drew their swords at the same time and surrounded him. “
Chen Ying pulled out the dangling big knife under his armpit with his backhand, touched Leng Sensen's blade with his hand, put it on the junior colonel's neck, and shouted: "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will kill him immediately." ”
The burly officer and soldier were so frightened that they took two steps back, then pulled their swords loudly, and said sharply: "You are still two seeds, and you dare to threaten Lao Tzu?
Xiang Zhuang's expression tightened, and he was about to draw his sword to face each other, at this moment of tension, a light figure flew over through the crowd like lightning, held Xiang Zhuang's hand, and said to the burly officer and soldier with a smile: "My lord, be merciful under the knife, I am your friend of Ao Cangling, you adults have always been the most polite corporal, these two are here to defect to your lords, I don't want to collide with the soldiers, my lord is angry!"
He turned his head to Xiang Zhuang and said, "Brother Zhuang, let go of this big brother." ”
Xiang Zhuang immediately let go of his hand, and gave Chen Ying another look, Chen Ying also immediately let go, the little colonel escaped death, and he didn't dare to turn back, and ran to the soldiers.
The burly officer saw that they let them go, and saw that the girl in front of him had an extraordinary temperament, as beautiful as a fairy, and that the girl she saw yesterday was her, so he immediately smiled and said: "It turned out to be a friend of the adult, and I was offended a lot just now, but since you are here to join my family, I don't know what you are capable of." ”
Xiang Zhuang said calmly: "The villain's ancestor is iron, and the two of us are best at iron, general, please see, these two knives are our brothers who defended themselves before they left their hometown and fled." As he spoke, he threw the big knife in Chen Ying's hand to the officer.
The officer took the long knife, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Good knife, really good knife!"
Touching Leng Sensen's blade, the officer looked at Xiang Zhuang again and asked, "What are you best at building?"
Xiang Zhuang said: "The villain is especially good at building weapons. ”
"Haha, then you are in the right place, our Lord Chen is the most Lixian corporal, since you are good at building weapons, you will definitely be able to get the benefits of adults. The officer said this, and threw the long knife back to Xiang Zhuang. Then he said, "Let's go, then follow me to meet my family." With that, the officer turned and left.
This officer is none other than Chen Ao's disciple Hou Jun, Hou Jun knows that Chen Ao likes to raise soldiers, relying on his strong family assets to often collect strange people from all over the world, as long as it is another skill, Chen Ao will definitely try his best to recruit subordinates, today he recruited two blacksmiths who are good at building weapons for Chen Ao, and he must be able to get a large amount of reward.
Ling'er wasted no time in saying: "General, there are many villagers who fled with them, and there are also thirty or fifty young adults among them, and they are all born in iron, do you want to be recruited into the army too?"
"Oh?" Hou Jun didn't suspect fraud at all, and said with more and more joy, turning to Xiang Zhuang and saying, "Your fellow villagers can strike iron?"
"Yes, of course. Xiang Zhuang nodded again and again, "However, the craftsmanship of these villagers is not as good as that of the villain, and the craftsmanship of the villain is ancestral, and it is easy not to show people." ”
"Haha, as long as you can strike iron, it doesn't matter if your craftsmanship is good. Hou Jun laughed and said: "But let's talk about it first, as long as there are young and strong men in the army, the old and young women and children don't want it, at most I will advance some of your monthly money first, and how about settling your family nearby?"
"Okay, all according to the general, all according to the general. Xiang Zhuang said that he gave a look and asked Chen Ying to summon fifty first-timed dead-dead, and the short swords on the fifty-first-timed dead-dead were all collected by Ling'er.
This is a must, otherwise, if more than 50 "hungry people" with swords and swords enter the barracks, they will not be allowed to go into the barracks? As long as General Ao Cang is not an idiot, he will definitely find out the problem! Besides, Chen Ao is not an idiot, since this person likes to raise soldiers, he must have something extraordinary, and how can he be an idle person?
