"King Li!"
Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were still preparing to exchange a few words, but at this time, Daming Mansion Superintendent Li Cheng came over with Suo Chao and others. Song Jiang and Lu Junyi quickly clasped their fists and saluted. Qinbei Pavilion
"Two pioneers, news came back from the front that the thief Sun Lei has led his troops to the gates of Gaotangzhou City."
Li Cheng looked at Song Jiang and Lu Junyi and said.
"I wonder how many thieves there are?"
Song Jiang asked, cupping his fists.
"It is said that there are fifteen thousand troops."
Li Cheng replied that the news came from Gaotang Prefecture and had not been verified.
"You two quickly lead people to Gaotangzhou for support."
Li Cheng looked at Song Jiang and Lu Junyi and ordered.
"Yes, King Li!"
Song Jiang and Lu Junyi clasped their fists and said, this time the Daming Mansion soldiers and horses are commanded by Li Cheng, the military supervisor, and they must obey orders.
"Director Li, why do you want these two people to be the vanguard?"
Suo Chao, the vanguard holding the gold-dipped ax, said with an indignation, Suo Chao, the vanguard, should be the vanguard of Damingfu's army and horses, not Song Jiang, a Zhao'an man, and Lu Junyi, a wealthy member.
"What do you know? The thieves in Liangshan are so powerful. How can our soldiers and horses from Daming Mansion get close to them so easily?"
Li Cheng glanced at Suo Chao and said, Suo Chao is just a reckless man who doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons. Cannon fodder must always go first in marching battles. How can this cannon fodder be one of his own?
"But, this first gong?"
Suo Chao didn't listen at all. All he could think about was killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds. He had been in the army for many years and had stayed in Damingfu until he was promoted to an officer in the army. What he thought about was that Damingfu was an important military town in the north and one day he would be able to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. Chance.
"Don't talk too much, just follow orders!"
Li Cheng, however, didn't want to care about Suo Chao, a reckless man, and just left such a sentence.
"Benefactor, King Li Tian is asking Song Jiang and Lu Junyi to test the enemy. It is impossible for Song Jiang and Lu Junyi to defeat the enemy. This battle still depends on our army."
Zhou Jin quickly pulled Suo Chao who was still talking. If he hadn't pulled him, Suo Chao would have had to run to pull Li Cheng to continue talking.
"That's the first battle!"
Suo Chao still persisted.
"My lord, Lu Junyi is the best gun and stick player in Hebei. We can't compete with him."
Zhou Jin could only say that although Suo Chao was good at martial arts, he was still far inferior to Lu Junyi. Many famous martial arts masters in Daming Mansion had challenged Lu Junyi, but they all ended up defeated miserably.
"Huh, it's just rumors. I'll give him a try when I get a chance!"
Suo Chao said in disbelief.
…
Gaotangzhou.
"Mr. Magistrate, the thieves have stopped attacking the city. Should we bring in the firewood?"
Lin Ren, the prisoner level, looked at Gao Lian and said.
"What are you doing to get him out? He's fine hanging around, but I'm going to disgust Sun Lei! Let him dare to be arrogant again!"
Gao Lian glared at Lin Ren. He was humiliated by yesterday's defeat. Not only did he lose Yu Zhi and Wen Wenbao, but the magic he was proud of was also broken.
"Mr. Magistrate, the reinforcements haven't arrived yet. If Chai Jin dies, what will happen if the thieves get angry and attack the city? I just went to see Chai Jin, who was nailed by the death row shackles and hung in a cage for several days. Now, Eighty minutes of his life has already been lost, and he will probably die if he hangs for a few more hours."
Lin Ren cupped his fists at Gao Lian.
"Huh? You go and untie him and keep him under good supervision. If there is any problem, you are the only one to ask!"
Gao Lian thought about the same thing. Chai Jin now has a good card and can manipulate Sun Lei. If he kills him, it will really outweigh the gain, so he might as well keep it first.
"Yes, Mr. Magistrate!"
Lin Ren clasped his fists and took a few prisoners to the city tower.
"The prefect's prime minister has issued an order to bring up the rebel traitor Chai Jin!"
Lin Ren said to the magic soldiers who were looking at Chai Jin. Gao Lian was worried that Chai Jin would be rescued, so he specially sent several magic soldiers to guard him.
After seeing Gao Lian's handwriting, several magic soldiers moved out of the way. Lin Ren quickly asked the prisoners to pick up the cage.
"Quickly, untie the wooden shackles and take him to the prison!"
Lin Ren saw that Chai Jin had disheveled hair, pale face, chapped lips, and had passed out, so he quickly spoke.
The prison inmates struggled to untie the 25-pound shackles weighing 25 kilograms, which would cause the shoulder blades to collapse if worn for too long.
The prison inmates helped Chai Jin onto the stretcher and carried him to the prison city.
All of this was seen by Shi Qian, who was sitting idle in the alley. Shi Qian had recently infiltrated the gangsters in Gaotang Prefecture, followed Yin Tianxi with the gangsters, and even went to the city wall several times to deliver supplies.
"Then why did the prisoner be released!"
Shi Qian smiled playfully and whispered.
"Yes, don't you want to kill me?"
"What if we don't have that person to control the enemy and attack the city?"
"Why don't we run away! Both Yu Zhi and Wen Wenbao in the city were killed!"
…
The scoundrels were the most talkative. After a while, they all began to make noises, and finally they all started talking about running away.
"What are you calling for?"
Yin Tianci came over and saw the rogue idlers making noises and getting angry. He had been scolded by Gao Lian just now, and now he could only take out his anger on the rogue idlers.
"Yin Zhige, why did you let Chai Jin go?"
"Are you going to surrender?"
The rogue idlers asked quickly.
"What nonsense are you talking about! The prefect is afraid that Chai Jin will die, so he will be imprisoned first and then hanged up when the thieves attack the city!"
Yin Tianci opened his mouth and said.
"Don't be idle here, go to the treasury and move all the logs and stones onto the city wall!"
Yin Tianci looked at the group of rogue idlers and said.
"ah?"
When a group of rogue idlers heard that they were going to move such heavy things, they all sat on the ground and acted like fools, unwilling to move.
"All of you who are popular and drink spicy food are howling and screaming. Now if I want to use you, why are you pretending to be dead? Get up!"
When Yin Tianci saw how angry the gangsters were, he went up and kicked the people in front of him.
Shi Qian hid behind and didn't speak. He couldn't attract Yin Tianci's attention at this time. Shi Qian really wanted to go to the treasury. While moving things, he could take the opportunity to see the defense and equipment situation in Gaotang Prefecture's treasury.
"Whoever doesn't want to go today will never follow me again!"
Yin Tianxi roared angrily.
Under repeated threats, the rogue idlers reluctantly got up. They did not make a living and relied on Yin Tianci for their daily meals.
Shi Qian mingled in the crowd and followed Yin Tianci to the treasury. It was a fool's errand if he wanted the rogue idlers to move things seriously. Looking at the heavy logs, bricks, and stones, the rogue idlers were picking and choosing one by one. Don't want to contribute.
When Shi Qian saw those people dilly-dallying and picking, he smiled and mingled among them to count things, and also took the opportunity to look at other warehouses.
By the time the things were moved, it was already dark. The rogue idlers were very tired today. They all complained and went home. They even discussed in private that they would pretend to be sick for two days and wait until the war was over before coming out.
Shi Qian ignored these people and ducked into the dark alley. After walking in the shadows for a short time, he arrived at the inn where Ma Ling and others lived.
The inn was brightly lit at this time. Due to the siege of Liangshan, a large number of merchants were trapped in the city and could only stay in the inn. At this time, they were all eating, drinking and chatting in the hall.
Shi Qian came to the backyard, climbed over the wall and entered.
