Chapter 18 Entering the state to loot
"Shang Huo, are you afraid of the thieves outside the stronghold?" Feeling that he had been humiliated, he sarcastically said without thinking. He regretted it as soon as he said it. He didn't know if the man outside the stronghold could beat Shang Huo.
But he knew that he couldn't defeat Shang Huo.
Before he could think of a way to ease the atmosphere, he heard Huo Shiyi say: "If you're not afraid, just go by yourself. If you are, aren't you afraid of him but not me?"
Feeling a hint of murderous aura, my body seemed to soften a little, and I didn't know what to do.
Master Hu Yunda came to the rescue and said: "Shu Gu, Master Shang Huo killed three people in a row yesterday. He must not have rested well today. Why don't you apologize to him quickly?"
He climbed down the ladder given by Master Hu Yunda and quickly apologized to Huo Shiyi. Huo Shiyi said "hmm" and accepted his apology.
Master Hu Yunda gave a bitter smile and said: "The people under my command are ignorant, which makes Master Shang Huo laugh."
Huo Shiyi then opened his eyes, looked at Master Hu Yunda and said with a smile: "Master Hu Yunda is joking, he is also worried about the situation of the war."
Master Hu Yunda was relieved to see Huo Shiyi being so upright. After all, the person who spoke was his subordinate. If Huo Shiyi insists on entanglement, it will still be his Hu Yunzhai people who will be lost.
Master Hu Yunda, who had a better impression of Huo Shiyi, added: "Since Master Shang Huo still needs to rest, I don't know which hero is willing to go out of the stronghold and kill the traitor under his horse."
There was silence for a moment, then Master Hu Yunda roared angrily, and with a flick of his sleeve, all the items on the table fell to the ground.
Seeing that their boss was angry, several leaders of Hu Yunzhai immediately volunteered and requested to fight.
However, Master Hu Yun rejected them all because of their lack of strength, and his eyes drifted over one person from time to time.
How could that man not know what Hu Yundai meant? He stood up and said, "There are three masters in our village, and their bravery is not inferior to that of Master Shang Huo."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Master Hu Yund stopped feigning anger and said with a smile: "Okay, since the third master of Biyun Village is willing to fight, it is naturally the best."
The third master of Biyun Village was sitting next to the first master of Biyun Village, who was the one who got up. Hearing this, he picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and said, "Please beat the drum to cheer me on."
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the village. Hu Yun, the head of the village, followed him immediately and said with a big smile: "Such a hero, I should personally beat the drum to support him." The head of Biyun Village turned pale.
Seeing that the person coming was not Huo Shiyi, Zhou Pianjiang breathed a sigh of relief and braced himself to fight with the third master Biyun.
Although the third head of the Biyun family is said to be "no less brave than Shang Huo" by his own head, in fact he is far worse.
Although he was stronger than Zhou Pianjiang, he still had to gain the advantage after thirty moves, and even more after a hundred moves to win.
Li Chengzhou did not ask General Zhou to fight to the death, so after General Zhou fought with Master Biyun for a while, he realized that he was losing and wanted to retreat. He made a feint and galloped back to the camp.
Before the Third Master Biyun could take a breath, a man from the Liyang camp came towards him on a red yak.
The sound of drums in Chu Qi's stronghold has not stopped, and if he retreats at this moment, he will be killed by Master Hu Yunda with an excuse, so Master Biyun has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight with the incoming general.
The Lai General's strength was not weaker than him, and the Biyun Third Master was somewhat consumed by Zhou Pian General, and soon fell into a disadvantage.
I found an opportunity to escape from the fighting circle and fled into the village. However, for some reason, the gate of Chuqi Village opened a little late, and an arrow from the incoming general pierced my shoulder. Although my life was safe, my arm could not be saved.
Already.
Headmaster Biyun glanced at Headmaster Hu Yun angrily, and hurriedly went to take care of his third boss. He vented all his anger on the bandits in charge of the village gate, and made the six heads of Chu Qizhai unhappy, and almost had a fight with Chu Qi.
There was a conflict in the house on Friday.
The reason why Huo Shiyi did not go out to fight today was naturally not because he was too exhausted yesterday and has not recovered today, but because Fengyun Shang gave him the order to delay the battle.
When I first arrived yesterday, I needed to establish my authority before I cooperated with Li Chengzhou to kill three generals and took the opportunity to return the stored magic weapon.
The reason why Feng Yun Shang replaced Feng Qiyang with Huo Shiyi was not only that Huo Shiyi was stronger than Feng Qiyang and could protect himself better, but also because the robbery of Liyang's grain and grass in Mangdang Mountain required someone to take charge of the overall situation.
As for himself, he planned to lead fifty personal guards to plunder Liyang Prefecture.
After giving instructions to Feng Qiyang, Feng Yunshang quietly left Mangdang Mountain with fifty personal guards and headed straight for Liyang Prefecture.
The reason why Feng Qiyang was left in Mangdang Mountain was to carry out the tasks assigned to him by the head of Chu Qi, so as not to be caught by the head of Chu Qi.
The purpose of entering Liyang Prefecture was to rob the prison and collect the prisoners from the prisons in various counties in Liyang Prefecture to the Dongyu Village. By the way, they received the 150 slaves Li Zilai had prepared for the Dongyu Village.
He quietly crossed the villages outside Mangdang Mountain and sneaked into the county. As for Liyang Prefecture's defense along the way, with Li Zilai there, it was naturally not a problem.
All the 150 slaves Li Zilai prepared for Fengyun Shang were in a manor outside Ji County, which is closest to Mangdang Mountain.
These slaves apparently had nothing to do with Li Zilai. They were bought from Jiumu Pavilion by Li Zilai's cronies in disguise.
Jiumu Pavilion has always only looked at the money and not anything else, so naturally it will not check the buyer's information, so it is foolproof.
After refining the magic weapon used to control slaves, Fengyun Shang now has two hundred people at his disposal.
However, those slaves were not only weak in strength but also had no discipline at all. They could not be put to any use at this moment and could only be used as support. The real ones who carried out the prison robbery were the fifty personal guards he brought out of Mangdang Mountain.
The laws of the Kingdom of Chaotian, or indeed any country in the world, are extremely strict, and people are often implicated, so there will never be a shortage of people in prison.
In just a small county like Ji County, hundreds of people are facing imprisonment. However, Fengyun Shang and their targets this time are not Ji County, but a rather wealthy county in Liyang Prefecture called Shang County.
county seat.
Disguising themselves as a caravan, they drove a carriage out of Ji County. With the help of the road guide and customs clearance documents prepared by Li Zilai in advance, there was no trouble except for some extortion by a few money-grubbing officials.
He left his two hundred men in an abandoned house outside the east gate. He came to Shang County alone and found an inn to stay. He took advantage of the night to scout Shang County.
On the second day, the guards went into the city in disguise according to Feng Yun Shang's instructions. After Feng Yun Shang gathered the guards, he sent twenty of them out to cause trouble in the county town, and finally met them in front of the prison cell.
In order to suppress the chaos in the city, the county magistrate had no choice but to mobilize some soldiers guarding the prison. Taking advantage of the chaos, Fengyun Shang led thirty personal guards to storm the prison, released all the prisoners and then retreated.
With the secret help of Fengyun Shang, the prisoners successfully escaped and escaped from the prison.
Fifty personal guards had been secretly roaming and observing. The moment the prisoners broke out of the prison, they suddenly broke out. One person caught two of them, clamped their heads under their left and right armpits, and started to escape. (The troublesome personal guards
At this moment, it has merged with Fengyun Shang.)
Fengyun Shang did not stay any longer. He knew in his heart that the success was only due to him catching Shang County off guard. When the Shang County Magistrate learned the news, he could easily suppress the escaped prisoners.
The time when the Shang County magistrate noticed that there were a hundred fewer prisoners was the time he had bought to escape.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Shang County government officers began to search around the county for prisoners who had not yet been arrested. Some of the garrison troops outside the city were transferred away, but at the same time they were also radiating around to investigate.
Soon, a government officer found out the news that Fengyun Shang and others were holding prisoners hostage and leaving the east gate, and the garrison followed this information to search everywhere.
The magistrate of Shang County also reported the matter to the county governor and requested the county governor to order surrounding counties to assist in the search.
Fengyun Shang and others who escaped from the east gate did not go to the abandoned village, but headed towards a mountain range about ten miles away from Shang County.
Go north along the mountains to meet the one hundred slaves pretending to be slave traders.
The garrison in Shang County arrived at the mountains only half a quarter of an hour later than Fengyun Shang and others. However, many of the traces in the mountains were erased by wild beasts, so their pursuit had to be slowed down.
Fengyun Shang, who pretended to be a slave trader, bypassed Shang County and slowly returned to Ji County via a road that could avoid Shang County, and then entered Mangdang Mountain from Ji County.
On the way, he plundered Liyang Prefecture, set fire to the grain and grass in transit, and took the supplies Li Zilai gave him.
There were only fifty-one people when they left Mangdang Mountain. When they came back, they were already a small team of three hundred and one people, and the fifty personal guards were also mounted on tall horses, which was very majestic.
Climb over the mountains and ridges, avoid the eyes of the bandits in the Mangdang Mountains, and send the harvest back to Dongyu Village.
After discussing with Cheng Feng, they renovated the Dongyu Biezhai that had been prepared and stationed the 200 people in the Biezhai in a concealed manner, separated from the family members of the bandits who stayed in the village, so as not to be exposed.
