At this time, in Qingling County, the sky was full of blood-like red glow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many of the unburned houses were still emitting black smoke, the streets were empty and cold, and the whole county looked like a dead city.

It is only in the middle of nowhere, that you can see pale, dirty, beggar-like men and children.

Many of them had no worries about food and clothing last night, and their families were happy.

But with the rebels entering the city, when they see valuable property, they will be gunned, and when they see a woman with a little pose, they will be strong, and they will be inhumane!

Those who resisted were killed, and most of those who survived did not have the courage to fight desperately.

But they are not much better alive than dead, life has lost hope, but their hearts are tormented, and they are suffering from sin!

However, not everyone feels this way.

At this moment, Chunfang Pavilion is still singing and dancing, full of laughter.

A group of women in Qinglou with heavy makeup are drinking and laughing with the rebels, they are originally engaged in the skin and meat business, and they accompany anyone, and there is no difference between the rebels and the rich merchants and landlords.

In the wing room on the second floor, a charming woman with a beautiful face and a graceful figure was drinking with a rough black-faced man.

This woman's name is Hongmei, and she is the number one Oiran in the pavilion, she was filled with wine, smiled, and said, "Come, my lord, drink another drink!"

The big man was a lieutenant, his dark face was full of beard scum, and he laughed: "Okay, beauty, I'll have another drink!"

After drinking, the black-faced man took the beauty into his arms, kissed it, and was about to untie the woman's shirt.

Suddenly, there was a bang, the wooden door shattered, and a tall, pale-faced man in black flashed in and grabbed him like a chicken.

This is the Xuanyin dead soldier specially sent by Liu Feng to protect Wu Tianliang.

A moment later, downstairs.

The black-faced man was slammed to the ground by the Xuanyin Dead Soldier, he looked up and found that the military advisor Wu Tianliang was looking at him with a frosty face, and more than a dozen of his henchmen were still guarding left and right. He was suddenly clever, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The military advisor spares his life!"

Wu Tianliang said coldly: "The lord ordered us to stay to collect property, but you led your subordinates to indulge in lust here!

The two soldiers immediately pressed down on the black-faced man.

At this time, a rather handsome young lieutenant next to Wu Tianliang hugged his fists and said: "Now is the time to employ people, the military advisor might as well spare Captain Li's life for the time being, and let him make meritorious contributions!"

Wu Tianliang pondered for a moment and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, drag it out and beat a hundred military sticks, and the others each have fifty military sticks, remember it first!"

Captain Li was dragged out, but he turned around and threw a grateful look at the young captain, he was a master of samurai, and he could still carry a hundred military sticks.

"Strategist, what should you do with those women?"

The young lieutenant asked. He said not only what he was talking about, but also what he robbed last night, and now he is being held in one place.

"None of them are allowed to be taken away, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Wu Tianliang said coldly. If you really want to bring these women, not to mention affecting the speed of the march, these soldiers will also spend their energy on those women, how can they still have the heart to fight. These soldiers must be raised as hungry wolves in order to maintain strong combat effectiveness.

Immediately, Wu Tianliang left dozens of bags of grain, led two battalions of 500 people, loaded the goods in a carriage, and began to leave quickly.

The reason why this food was left was to hope that they would not starve to death, and it was better to become homeless people, and finally pour into Qinghe County to consume food.

Because the most difficult thing to defend the city is not the manpower, but the grain and grass.

At the gate of the city, a skinny girl covered in dirt confronted Wu Tianliang's officers and soldiers for a moment with scissors, and then rushed forward.

The figure of the Xuanyin dead soldier standing beside Wu Tianliang flashed, grabbed the girl's little hand, and was about to slap the girl to death with one palm.

A voice rang out: "Let her go!"

Xuanyin Dead Man let go of the girl as he said.

The little girl was not grateful, and still rushed forward with scissors, but was restrained by the Xuanyin Dead Soldier again.

Wu Tianliang stared at the stubborn girl in front of him, vaguely overlapping with a figure in his memory, maybe he still had a trace of conscience, maybe it was the girl who touched the weakness in his heart. He smiled and said, "Take her and go!"

......

Half an hour later, Qinghe County.

Ling Feng and his party walked out of the Zhou Mansion.

Although Zhou Yulang is the county guard, since the Yu family and the Qiao family are out, the Zhou family is naturally no exception.

At this time, Ling Feng was holding an account book in his hand, which contained the number and specific names of the registered Zhou Mansion in the army, as well as the silver taels and grain contributed.

The Zhou family, like the Qiao family and the Yu family, also donated 200,000 taels of silver and 300 stone rice. Because of the different situations, a few hundred stone meters are particularly precious.

Of course, the Qingjiao Gang is no exception, and also donated 200,000 taels.

And Ling Feng is not afraid of Zhou Yulang's embezzlement or cheating.

All the soldiers went to the county guard office to report first, and then gathered at the governor's house. Today, Song Tianhao temporarily takes over the authority of the lieutenant and trains soldiers.

And all the money and grain were handed over to the management of the county, which was jointly supervised by Zhou Yulang, Song Tianhao, and Ling Feng.

The three major families have done it, and the others are easy to say, but only the Kyushu Silver Horn and the Zhennan Dart Bureau are not easy to handle, because they are all official backgrounds.

Behind the Kyushu Silver Trumpet is the Great Chu Imperial Court, and behind the Zhennan Dart Bureau is the current emperor's brother, King Zhennan.

Both of these forces have innate masters, and only Ling Feng himself is on it.

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Feng came to the Kyushu Silver Horn.

In front of the counter, a short and fat old man in a yellow shirt with a smile on his face said, "This distinguished guest, save money, or exchange it for cash?"

Ling Feng smiled: "No, shopkeeper Pan, I'm here to ask for money!"

The shopkeeper Pan's smile disappeared suddenly, and he said coldly: "Deputy Gang Master Lin, what kind of place are you in our Kyushu Silver Number, dare to come here to spread wild, I advise you not to make mistakes!"

Ling Feng said indifferently: "Now that the war is approaching, I also ask Shopkeeper Pan to cooperate! Since it is the silver taels of the imperial court, it is no longer reasonable to use it as military salary!"

The shopkeeper Pan sneered: "Ignorance! The silver of the Kyushu silver number is directly handed over to the state treasury! If you want military salaries, you should be handed over to the military department by the household department, and then issued by the military department!"

Ling Feng sneered: "Now the killers of the Netherworld Palace outside the city have cut off contact with the state capital. Now that there is going to be a war, the soldiers have to fight hard, and of course this settlement fee will be paid first. If you don't comply, I'll immediately call someone to run on it, and see how you end!"

Pan's shopkeeper's expression changed, and he shouted: "Come on, take down this troublemaker!"

At this moment, the two yellow-shirted guards flashed in, their fists condensed with black qi, and smashed towards Ling Feng.

These two people are both innate masters, and their body skills are extremely fast, and in an instant, two fists hit Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's figure suddenly dissipated and appeared behind the two of them.

With a bang, the two of them were punched in the back, fell to the ground, spat blood, and couldn't get up for half a day.

Shopkeeper Pan looked at Ling Feng's murderous approach, his heart trembled, and finally honestly handed over 300,000 taels of silver.

Subsequently, Ling Feng came to the Qinghe Branch of the Zhennan Dart Bureau, to Ling Feng's surprise, the dart head and Yang Wei had a very good relationship, knowing that Ling Feng had a life-saving grace for Yang Wei, he happily handed over 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and decided to take more than 100 people from the Dart Bureau to join the army.

Other wealthy businessmen and landlords can do it, and Xiao Wenliang and other Dharma protectors can lead some helpers.

In the afternoon, after Song Tianhao gathered the people in the county town, nearly 5,000 people gathered. Nearly half of them are above the martial arts level, and the rest are martial artists in the forging period, and their physical fitness is good. )
