Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the waiter with a half-smile, and said:
"Do you recognize the person in this brocade box, Xiaoer?"
The waiter looked at the head of the bald mountain dove, which was placed quietly in the brocade box, and his whole face turned pale with fright.
At this moment, he already understood that the person in front of him was a big shot that they could not afford to offend. Even the leader Bald Mountain Dove looked as weak as a child in front of them.
He tried his best to put on a smile that was even uglier than crying:
"The distinguished guest is joking. How can I recognize this bandit?"
"Oh, you don't recognize him, how do you know he is a bandit?"
Shu Shushu smiled faintly, and suddenly the expression on his face turned cold. He slammed the table, stood up and glared at the waiter:
"The French Open is open and there are no omissions. Now that things have come to this, do you think you can still get away with it?"
At this moment, the waiter in the shop was already frightened out of his courage. When he heard this, he fell to his knees without saying a word.
"I was wrong, please be kind and let me live!"
Hearing this, Shu Mouse's cheek showed an expression of embarrassment. He looked at Magistrate Chen aside and asked with some embarrassment:
"How does County Magistrate Chen think this person should be dealt with?"
At this moment, County Magistrate Chen, although there was still a bruise on his left eye socket, he still showed his official power.
He glanced at the waiter coldly and said calmly:
"Han Xiaoer, do you want to die or live?"
The waiter didn't hesitate and immediately kowtowed as if pounding garlic. He kowtowed to the ground with all his strength. He kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"Please, Lord County Magistrate Chen, spare my life. I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay Magistrate Chen for his great kindness!"
County Magistrate Chen snorted coldly,
"If you want to live, I will show you a clear path. I just don't know if you have the courage."
Hearing this, the waiter's originally tense cheeks relaxed slightly. He immediately expressed gratitude:
"If you have any errands, just give me the orders of the county magistrate. I, Xiaoer Han, will definitely fulfill your instructions even if I go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire."
"This matter is actually very simple. Tell this gentleman the location of your bandit accomplices, and not a single fish slips through the net. Is it possible for you to do it?"
At this moment, a look of hesitation flashed across the waiter's cheek.
On one side is his brother, on the other side is his own life.
He only hesitated for a second and then said respectfully:
"Don't worry, sir. I'll leave this matter to the villain! But... I don't know what you are going to do with them? Are you planning to kill them all, or..."
"These things have nothing to do with you!"
Shu Shushu snorted coldly, but felt proud in his heart.
As long as he can catch all these bandits, Yang Gong will definitely look down on him.
After all, there is a shortage of manpower in the construction of highway official roads, and the number of these bandits is not too many!
But on the surface, he still looked cold, nodded slightly and said:
"Someone, take him down!"
…
Xiong County, inside the inn,
Yang Dong looked far to the northwest and saw mountains surrounded by steep mountains.
Unlike the mountains in the south, the mountains in Youzhou do not have many trees. Instead, most of them are shrubs.
Although these shrubs were not tall enough, they also blocked Yang Dong's sight.
At this moment, Yang Dong held the information in his hand, and a trace of sadness flashed between his brows.
The west gate of Wucheng was broken,
Hou Jin's army was like crazy, guarding the west gate with all their strength, refusing to retreat even half a step.
The city was broken last night, but now it's past noon.
I don’t know what the situation is over there, exactly.
The battle report did not contain much content. Apart from a rough description of the battlefield situation, it was mentioned that the last male of the Wu family died in the battle in Wu City.
The reason why I mention this is because it means that the Wu family may have no successor since Wu Jing. In fact, there is another layer of potential meaning, that is, it may cause turmoil within Wucheng.
With the current situation, even if the Doulu people passed by, they probably wouldn't be able to take advantage.
Although Wucheng is a majestic city, the size of the west gate is limited. Even if more people come, it can only add fuel to the tactics.
Just thinking about this kind of bloody millstone will make Yang Dong's scalp numb.
This battle in Wucheng will probably severely damage your vitality. Of course, it’s just not easy for the people who received the gold medal.
However, the Battle of Wucheng is not a good thing for the capital. At least looking at the overall situation, the capital is at least temporarily safe. As for Lin Chunqiu, that old thief, it might be difficult for him to make waves for a while.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong let out a long sigh of relief.
He waved, and immediately a West Factory spy came over from not far away.
He knelt down on one knee respectfully and saluted Yang Dong.
"No gifts."
Yang Dong waved his hand and asked:
"By the way, we are in Xiong County. How many artillery firecrackers are left now?"
When the secret agent heard this, a look of thought appeared on his cheek.
After a moment, he shook his head slightly and said:
"For the record, Mr. Yang, Xiong County is not an important place to begin with, and the manpower we have deployed here is not large. Therefore, the total number of artillery battles cannot exceed five."
Are there only five...
Yang Dong frowned, although the firecrackers were quite powerful, especially when there were crowds of people. But in the face of an army of tens of thousands of people, even five big artillery pieces were of little use. So he asked again:
"Within half a day's journey, if we collect all the nearby artillery firecrackers, how many can there be?"
When the secret agent from the West Factory heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment. After making an appointment for a cup of tea, he spoke with some uncertainty:
"There are not many counties around Xiong County, but there is a military camp, which was originally set up to guard against Pingzhou."
"Although there are no big firecrackers in the outpost, there are a lot of fireworks used to convey information."
"If we let the craftsmen adjust the proportions on site, we can create a lot of big firecrackers... at least thirty or fifty."
Thirty or fifty pieces, although it's not too much either.
But compared to five pieces, it is still much stronger.
And these big firecrackers, if used properly, might be able to turn the tide of the entire battle.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong made a decisive decision and said:
"Go, I'll give you half a day to gather all the fireworks and cannons together immediately and send them all to Wucheng."
Having said this, he paused and continued:
"As for re-adjusting the proportion, you can adjust it on the way. You must send the cannon over as quickly as possible, do you understand?"
When the secret agent from the West Factory heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.彡彡
Being able to personally carry out Duke Yang's orders is an extremely honorable thing.
So he said with excitement:
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, my subordinates will definitely go through fire and water."
