The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 66
“Four masters, the cottage is on fire.” The old fourth, who was napping on the mountain wall, was awakened by the people around him.
“Shall we go back and have a look?” everyone clamored.
“Shut up!” The old fourth roared, “Don’t move, we must guard this path, otherwise the army will attack and we will be over.”
The bandits are honest now. The young guy who was sending the message rushed over from the cottage. “Four masters, it’s not good, the granary in the stockade has been burned!”
Everyone suddenly panicked, and the granary was burned. This was a terrible news. You must know that their cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack by relying on the terrain. After so many years, even the county guard has been bullied by them. But now that the food is gone, it’s a starvation to stay here, so it’s better to let the officers and soldiers catch them, so that they can still eat in prison.
“Why panic? The big boss is fighting the fire in the stockade. There is so much food and not much to burn.” The fourth child still sticks to the narrowest pass on the mountain road, and doesn’t allow the young guys to come back for help.
The cottage was chaotic all night, and the camp under the mountain was not moving like a mountain.
Before dawn, Lou Jing got up, dressed in a uniform, standing on a large rock, and seeing two black figures jumping between the mountains and forests from a distance, rushing over quickly.
“Master, all the two granaries in the cottage were burnt, and there was no pellet left.” Yun Sandi reported that they poured oil on the grain and it burned cleanly.
“There is a cliff on one side of the cottage. Except for the two downhill roads, there is no secret road,” Yun eleven presented the results of the investigation. Before going down a gentle slope.”
The two of them climbed in from the cliff by reaching out their hands sharply. If the army wants to invade the cottage, it must pass through that place.
“Very good.” Lou Jing nodded slightly and let the two Yunwei go down to rest.
Xiao Chengjun woke up and saw that the place next to him was empty, so he got up and dressed neatly, went out to look for him, and as soon as he left the camp, he met Zhang Rao and Wang Zhi who had come to ask for instructions.
The two of them were all taken aback when they saw the military division coming out of the general’s camp, and then they remembered that both Mr. Yen slept with the general! Thinking of this, the expressions of the two suddenly became weird.
Because the emperor can marry male wives in Yu Dynasty, Nanfeng is a kind of noble thing in the eyes of everyone. It is seldom heard by ordinary people. It is only common among high officials and nobles. Therefore, it is two schools for small people. Wei, thinking it was very novel, couldn’t help but look at the handsome military instructor a few more times.
“The general is not in the tent.” Xiao Chengjun said, raising his foot and leaving.
The two school lieutenants looked at each other and followed quickly.
“Bring out the camp and attack the mountain.” Lou Jing looked at the winding road hidden in the forest, and slightly curled his lips.
There is a gloomy cloud in the cottage. Drinking water on the mountain, relying on a spring, also use a large tank to accumulate some rainwater on weekdays to prevent fire. There was a fire in the granary last night, and everyone hurried to the big tank to fetch water, only to find that a gap had been cut under the tank at some point, and the rain had already leaked out.
Picking water from a mountain spring and then extinguishing the fire is nothing short of a drop in the bucket. Everyone has been busy all night without putting out the fire. They watched as the fire had cooked the rice that had not been hulled, and then burned them to ashes. The smell of burning rice, but everyone is hungry.
The four masters who guarded the mountain road saw the officers and soldiers attacking from a distance, and immediately cheered up, “Hold the stone gate and kill one by one!”
At the fork of the mountain road, there is a natural stone gate. The huge boulder hangs down from above, and tall people must walk around their waist. From here up, there are stone roads hanging on the cliffs, without any gentle slope. , On one side is a cliff with no end, on the other side is a one hundred feet high cliff.
The bandits held big swords and set up a wooden fence with iron thorns under the stone gate, staring at the officers and soldiers holding spears and iron shields, and waited for them.
One mile, half a mile, thirty feet, ten feet…
The mountain bandit standing in the front swallowed, his hands full of sweat, and he held up the big knife in his hand, waiting for the spear to stab him, so that he could chop it back.
Suddenly, those officers and soldiers stopped and built a wooden fence ten feet away from them! Then, start to distribute dry food and eat breakfast.
The mountain bandits were stunned on the spot with their big swords, watching the officers and soldiers eating breakfast, and then guarding behind the wooden fence, looking at them in time.
The two sides looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a long time. The old fourth who carried the nine-ring sword couldn’t bear it, and shouted toward each other, “What do you mean? Ask your leader to talk.”
After shouting for a long time, no one paid any attention to him. The officers and soldiers formed a simple formation behind the wooden fence, lined up on both sides of the mountain road, and only allowed one person to pass through the middle. Of course, the team dragged on for a long time and stretched for several miles.
The fourth child looked at the corridor formed by the man, and suddenly felt that it was an endless guillotine, full of executioners, just waiting for you to walk in, poke you into a hornet’s nest.
After waiting for a long time, a talented person wearing silver armor rode his horse without hurries. His posture is tall and straight, his temperament is impressive, his lips have a three-point smile, like a spring breeze, but his eyes are as cold as frost. Cold.
Looking closer, he found that the man had a splint on his left arm, flat on his chest…
“It’s you!” The fourth master’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, “You, you are not…” It is obviously the male pet he is holding in the arms of his enemy, how can he become the commander of the officers and soldiers?
Lou Jing smiled coldly, “I am the general of Zhennan, who is in charge of the military power of the four southern counties of Jiangzhou. You are waiting to cause chaos in Jiuchang, and I will encircle and suppress it from now on!”
The mountain bandits were in an uproar. Although they didn’t know what the name of General Zhennan was, they still knew the military power of Nansi County! I heard that the governor had transferred most of the troops of the Southern Four Counties, and they were so confident during this period, but now…
“God has the virtue of being a good life, and I wouldn’t want to slaughter.” Lou Jing raised his internal strength and said loudly. The loud voice echoed in the valley, shocking people.
A large, energetic officer and soldier next to him took out a notice and said loudly: “Anyone who accepts the recruitment, lays down their weapons, and descends from the formation one by one, registers the list, and they can be transferred to military status and become the Southern Fourth The officers and soldiers of the county.”
Everyone was in an uproar and became a military citizen. This is a good opportunity, not only without having to go to prison, but also as a military master!
“Only before sunset.” Leaving this sentence lightly, General Zhennan turned his horse’s head, Yiyiran went down the mountain, leaving the officers and soldiers waiting in battle and the extremely troubled bandits.
Before breakfast was delivered, people had been sent to remind him several times. The bandits who stayed up all night and hungry looked at the energetic officers and soldiers, and suddenly felt extremely desolate.
“Four, four masters, the boss calls you back to discuss matters.” A errandman came to report with a grimace, whispered a few words in his ear, the fourth child frowned suddenly, glanced at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and hesitated for a moment. Putting the Jiuhuan broadsword on his shoulders, told his men to guard the gate, and then hurried away.
The errand runner was about to leave, but was grabbed by the collar by a small leader, “Dougan, why doesn’t Zhaizhong deliver food yet?”
“How can there be food, I haven’t eaten yet!” The dog egg broke away, and was about to slip away, and was pulled by a few people. He insisted on telling what happened. “The granary is all burned, so what food is there for you to eat!” “
Down the mountain, Lou Jing dragged a chair and sat next to the military division, while the military division set up a table in front of the camp with a thick directory book in front of it.
Xiao Chengjun looked at the still quiet mountain road, “Can this method work?”
Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, “If you don’t believe it, let’s make a bet.”
“What are you betting on?” Xiao Chengjun asked with a smile.
“Naturally it’s a bet…” Lou Jing smirked and leaned closer, biting his ears with his husband.
“You…can’t you think of anything besides these every day?” Xiao Chengjun said helplessly.
“I’m rare of this!” Lou Jing hummed, took a blank small account book, and wrote the color of the talent, together with the compensation Xiao Chengjun promised the day before yesterday, into his arms and hid it.
Xiao Chengjun laughed. He hasn’t agreed yet, right? Just about to argue with that guy, I saw many people walking down the mountain busily, empty-handed.
The mountain roads of Jiuqi Mountain were steep, which was originally the support of the bandits, but now it has become an obstacle preventing them from escaping. There is no food in the cottage, and you can only starve to death if you keep on guarding, but before sunset, you can surrender and be a military. Only the fool stays on the mountain road and desperately! With the first defector, there will be a second and a third. The little commanders couldn’t stop them, and simply fled with them.
“Line up in a line, come one by one!” Wang Zhi took the soldiers stationed in the battalion and maintained the order of coming to register.
As soon as Xiao Chengjun saw the battle, he called the clerk, gave him a few words with the pen, and called a small soldier to question the bandits so that the clerk could take notes, and then left the case table with his hand.
Lou Jing looked at the military commander who was taking it for granted, he felt itchy, and slowly moved towards him, when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a rush of horseshoes.
“Report-tell the general, the copycat bandits beheaded dozens of surrenders, tied Miss Yang in front of the battle, and are about to rush down the mountain!” The mountain soldiers reported on horseback.
“Get on the horse!” Lou Jing made a gesture to Zhang Rao and turned on his horse at the same time.
“You don’t go anymore.” Xiao Chengjun frowned, and it was not a must to fight. His left arm was still broken, so why bother to take this risk.
“I’m going to catch the back of the Nine Ring Sword with my own hands, and then we will redeem the lottery.” Lou Jing smiled, lightly pinched his horse’s belly, and ran towards the mountain road.
“Fourth old man, is this all right?” The great master of the cottage, with a thick beard and soft body, followed the big man with a nine-ring knife and walked down the mountain.
“If you can’t do it, you can do it! I don’t want to be a running dog of the court!” The fourth master snorted coldly, and raised a knife to split a section of the wooden fence.
“Put the little lady and the two little white faces in front!” Hu yelled.
Lou Jing rode his horse to Shimen and saw several men standing in front of the officers and soldiers, pushing and pushing a girl in pink and two big-tied five-flowered men. The two men are no strangers to him, they are missing. Cloud Four and Cloud Five in a few days!
