The cabin was eerily quiet as everyone was digesting the meaning of Tudan's words.
After a long time, a village chief asked timidly: "May I ask, Chief Tuqu, who is the traitor?"
"The six families headed by the Lu family are so rebellious that they dare to take advantage of the lord's serious illness to collude and cause chaos with their troops in an attempt to change the Iron Hand Province's ownership." Tudan Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the chair and said coldly. He looked at the village chief who asked the question.
The room became quiet again, and the village chiefs were all stunned. Before coming here, it was obvious that he was still a member of the Lu family, but now that the Lu family has become a rebel, then what does he mean? Besides, you, Tu Qu Chang, are also from the Lu family, how can you say these words with such peace of mind.
"Sir...sir, what do we do now?" Another village chief asked, speechless.
"Our fearless army was ordered to join Xingshan Paoze and join the Northern Army. Naturally, we are soldiers of the Ji family." Tu Dan smiled slightly and motioned for everyone to relax, "I know it may be difficult for everyone to turn this corner for a while, but Lu The family's wealth has led to the blindness of the family, and they have embarked on this dead end. The leader of the village is also looking for another way out for everyone, abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, so as not to be buried with the Lu family."
"Chang Tuqu, Lu Jianjun and the others may have also joined the Ji family." Mu Shi looked at Tu Dan with a complicated expression.
"Yes, yes, where is Supervisor Lu? He is from the Lu family." Someone also remembered it and quickly asked.
Tu Dan looked at his subordinates behind him and said calmly, "Invite Supervisor Lu, no, Supervisor Lu is here. By the way, he is the new supervisor of the young master of the Lu family, and he will command the Fearless Army."
The two guards left the room and soon brought a cloth bag. There was a dark red layer of mud on the outside of the bag, exuding an unpleasant odor.
"Open it." Tudan gently ordered.
The guard pinched his nose and opened the bag, and a puff of lime smoke flew out. Where the smoke fell, there was a head. It's just that this head is really miserable. It has been beaten to a state of disfigurement. When the face is turned over, some shadow of Lu Ben can be vaguely seen.
"Lu Ben is stubborn and has been killed." Tu Dan glanced at everyone's reaction and played with the ring on his thumb, "Everyone, although we are all under the rule of the Lu family, the Iron Hand Province still belongs to the Ji family. , you might as well weigh it up, which one is more important? Should you start a rebellion with the Lu family, or follow the Ji family to put down the rebellion?
Brothers, I don't want to go too far. I can leave as long as I want. We can get together and break up. If we are willing to leave, we can leave quietly. The rest will follow Commander Zhuo to chase the village leader. "
"It goes without saying that if you go after the leader of the village, you might as well be buried behind the Lu family." Le Yu was the first to speak, scanning the people in the room with malicious intent.
Someone quickly echoed and spoke out to support Le Yu's opinion. There was a commotion in the room, and no one left until the end.
Tudan nodded and turned to look at Zhuo Ke, "Commander Zhuo, since no one has withdrawn and is willing to follow the village leader, let's have a good rest tonight and tomorrow we will take the remaining baggage from the camp and set off by boat early in the morning. , I naturally went to chase the village leader overnight."
"Okay." Zhuo Ke breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and cupped his hands to everyone: "Everyone, please comfort your brothers and assemble when the cock crows tomorrow."
In the camp at night, except for the patrolling soldiers, there was no one around. From time to time, fireflies fly by, frogs chirp all around, and vague sleepy murmurs are heard as the breeze blows. If it weren't for the chilling atmosphere of the war horses all around, it would still feel like the water and the sky were clear, and the night was quiet and windy.
Suddenly, the noisy frogs suddenly stopped, and the wispy fireflies disappeared quickly. Dozens of figures appeared in the camp, the cold light of the weapons in their hands flashed, and they rushed towards a tent silently.
When they arrived around the tent, these people swarmed in, and soon there was the sound of fighting inside.
With a bang, the tough leather tent exploded. Zhuo Ke jumped out with a machete in his hand and knocked down several people in front of him with the back of the knife. "You dare to rebel." Before he finished speaking, several large nets fell in the dark night, killing Zhuo Ke. Covered in it, more than a dozen people rushed forward and pinned Zhuo Ke down.
The sound of fighting alarmed the people in the camp, and soon torches were lit, and many sleepy-eyed people ran out of the tents and surrounded the people who were making trouble late at night.
These people were obviously supported by someone, and the patrolling soldiers unanimously moved out of the way, allowing them to leave smoothly.
As soon as I ran to the gate, I saw Tudan, who had already left, leading a few people, standing outside the village with a gloomy expression, blocking the way of the group of people.
A man stood out from the crowd, still holding the tightly tied Zhuo Ke, "Tu Dan, I didn't expect you didn't leave. Get out of the way. For the sake of the Lu family, I will give you a way out." . If you can repent and return to the Lu family, you may not be able to avoid death. If you persist in your persistence, today will be your death day."
"Mu Shi, you are so brave. How dare you attack Pao Ze? How is it any different from a dolphin?" Tu Dan spoke sternly and glared at Mu Shi, who was wearing a robe. "During the day, I have already asked you, if you are willing to leave, I won't stop you. I don't want you to do such evil things secretly without saying anything openly."
Seeing more and more people gathered around him, Mu Shi took off his helmet and shouted to the surroundings: "Brothers, I am Mu Shi. Wu Gen betrayed the Lu family, and we cannot follow him to death. To be honest, I am Mu Shi. Let me tell you, this time Ji Xin died, half of the families in Iron Shou Province have rebelled, and the Ji family cannot bear it anymore.
Everyone has seen the slogan in the past two days, right? The destiny is circulating, and the Lu family is prosperous. This time, Young Master Lu raises the flag of righteousness and punishes the concubine, in order to establish an outline and discipline and save the people. How can such a person who has been given by heaven be defeated? . Everyone must not follow Wu Gen to die. Why not bring order to the chaos, kill Tudan with me, and help the Lu family together. "
The sound of the wood was so loud that it spread throughout the camp like rolling thunder. He was responsible for the daily training of the servant army and was quite prestigious in the army.
For a moment, the soldiers who were struggling to round them up couldn't help but look at each other and stopped. Many people looked surprised and quietly moved towards the team behind Mushi.
"Haha. Tu Dan, you have also seen it. With Dao Duozhu, these brothers can still distinguish the pros and cons. I think the young master sent me here secretly to prevent you from betraying the master and the fearless army was deceived by the traitor and rebelled. Lu family. Let me ask you one more thing, surrender or not, or die." Mu Shi raised his head and laughed. Since joining the Fearless Army, he has been cautious and small, and today he finally let go of this burden.
"Mushi, you are looking for death." Le Yu's roar came from the distance. After a strong wind, many people following Mushi were knocked around.
Seeing Le Yu getting closer and closer, Mu Shi put the knife on Zhuo Ke's neck and shouted loudly: "If you dare to step forward again, I will take his life. Let's see whether you can run faster or my knife is faster."
Le Yu stopped abruptly only a few feet away from the other party, her face flushed with anger, "Mu Shi, you white-eyed wolf, don't expect me and Zhuo Ke to be so good to you on weekdays, letting you do everything. I don't want to This is how you repay us, let me tell you, if something happens to Zhuo Ke today, I will not let you go even if I chase you to the ends of the earth."
"Haha, after this battle, there is no telling whether those of you who betrayed the Lu family will survive. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the sake of face, this kid would have been dead by now." Mu Shi He sneered again and again, and suddenly said in anger, "What do you want to do? Stop him."
Leyu took advantage of his unpreparedness and launched a sudden attack, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Mu Shi. While Mu Shi resisted, he ordered his men to besiege him.
More than a dozen people gathered around and fought with Le Yu. At the same time, the soldiers who were unwilling to follow Mushi's rebellion had blocked the exit of the camp and were in a stalemate with the people led by Mushi.
Seeing that the situation was not good and something might have happened if he didn't leave, Mu Shi yelled and put the knife across Zhuo Ke's neck, "Le Yu, if you dare to do this again, I will kill this kid." As he said this, the knife was placed on Zhuo Ke's neck. Ke's neck was pulled, and blood spurted out immediately.
Seeing this, Le Yu had no choice but to make a false cut and jumped out of the battle circle, her eyes red with anger.
Zhuo Ke struggled desperately, and because his mouth was blocked, he could only whine and signal to Tu Dan and Le Yu repeatedly, telling them not to worry about his life.
"Get out of the way." Mu Shi carried Zhuo Ke and shouted to Tu Dan who was blocking the door, "Tu Dan, if you don't want to be a river of blood today, get away quickly."
Tudan looked at Zhuo Ke who was dragged on the ground, and took a step aside with an expressionless expression. Seeing this, the soldiers blocking the door had no choice but to make way.
Mu Shi carefully led these hundreds of people out of the camp. When passing Tu Dan, he proudly made a gesture of wiping his neck at him, and the hand holding the knife left Zhuo Ke's body.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past. Mu Shi was shocked. When he lowered his head, he saw that Zhuo Ke was gone.
Outside the camp, a man gently placed Zhuo Ke on the ground and cut off the rope on his body with a knife.
"Fortress leader, I have embarrassed you." Zhuo Ke pulled the cloth from his mouth, his eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground without even having time to wipe the blood from his neck.
Wu Gen pulled him up and said with a slight smile: "You gain wisdom after every experience. Running an army is not that simple. It would be better if you have more experience."
After comforting Zhuo Ke, Wu Gen slowly turned his head, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
Mu Shi was a little panicked at this time. He didn't expect Wu Gen to be here, so he quickly asked the people behind him to gather around him, and kept looking around. When these rebels saw Wu Gen's appearance, they were also frightened.
With the names of people and the shadows of trees, Wu Gen managed the Fearless Army step by step to the point where he had accumulated prestige and was robbed. Just showing up was enough to overwhelm everyone, let alone defeat them with force.
When the other battalion sergeants saw Wu Gen's return, they immediately felt confident, their morale rose sharply, and they stared at the rebels with malicious intent.
Wu Gen said nothing, staring coldly at Mu Shi, his body full of murderous aura that could not be concealed, and he walked forward step by step like a furious tiger.
The sound of rustling footsteps was heard, and with every step forward, the hearts of these rebels became heavier. The figure, who was not tall, was getting closer and closer like a mountain, and was unstoppable. This suffocating sense of oppression caused many soldiers in the rebel army to drop their weapons and kneel on the ground begging for mercy.
The power of one person reaches this point.
Mu Shi's mouth was dry, and cold sweat was falling on his forehead. He had stayed in the Fearless Army for a long time, and he knew that this was a sign of Wu Gen's extreme anger.
This leader of the village who was usually idle and seemed to have no official status hated the most about defecting on the battlefield. He would even dare to kill the governor, let alone himself.
He couldn't be beaten. In shock, Mu Shi screamed strangely, turned around and ran to one side, even leaving his own confidants and men behind.
With a bang, Wu Gen disappeared on the spot and was behind Mu Shi in the blink of an eye. In the dim night, the broken knife flashed slightly, and Mu Shi's body had been cut in half from head to body.
Falling gently to the ground, Wu Gen turned around and returned to the camp without even looking at Mu Shi's body. At the gate of the camp, a crowd of people knelt down in darkness, but there were still some people who refused to kneel down and resisted stubbornly with knives in their hands.
Wu Gen's face was gloomy, and he held a knife in one hand. Blood was still dripping from the tip of the knife. He pointed at those who refused to surrender and said in a cold voice, "Those who participated in the rebellion tonight, kill these people, or If there is a chance to survive, if not, they will all be slaughtered today, just in time to sacrifice your blood to the flag. Do it."
Following the order, the kneeling people looked at each other, picked up the weapons on the ground, and attacked those who refused to surrender.
For a moment, the sound of killing was loud in front of the camp gate. Wu Gen, Tu Dan and other fearless troops surrounding them formed a circle and watched quietly as these people killed each other like mad dogs.
Soon, the sound of fighting calmed down. After all, there were still a few people who were stubborn and refused to surrender.
"Put down your weapons and tie yourself up." Wu Gen gently ordered.
There was a commotion among those who participated in the rebellion, and they saw the arrows hanging on the strings all around. They had no choice but to take the ropes and tie them together.
Wu Gen waved his hand, and a group of soldiers rushed out from beside him and took the rebels into custody.
"Draw lots according to the ratio of ten to one, and the person who is drawn to die will be chopped up and thrown to the river to expose his body." Wu Gen sat on the chair sent by Tudan and ordered softly.
Since these rebellious people had been frightened into restraints, no one resisted after hearing such a harsh order this time.
Soon, the person who drew the death lot was beheaded on the spot, and the body was thrown on the rocks by the river, where it was exposed to the wind, sun, and birds and beasts.
"Those of you who don't want to stay can leave, but they can't go back to the Lu family and must be handed over to the Wen family. Those who are temporarily confused by others and are willing to stay in the army can stay. Today's matter will be settled here. Expose it." Wu Genwei sat in the chair and said lightly.
Some people died, but not completely...
