Ye Cong looked at Shi Zhi proudly: "How is it?"
"I'm not exaggerating. Look at the effect. Once the shells are fired, no one can resist it. Just blowing up a small building is a bit unfinished."
Shi Zhi stared in the direction of Yuncheng. From here, he could hear the shouts and chaos in the city.
Ye Cong ignored him and said to himself: "The goal has been achieved. Now can you tell me how Yuncheng arranged it? You can't let me act as your thug?"
Speaking of this, he looked into the distance, "Hey, those people you brought, they are the thugs."
"Do what they should do." Shi Zhi glanced at him, "It's time for us to work too."
"What are you doing?" Ye Cong still had artillery beside him, "How many more cannons do you want?"
Shi Zhi: "The artillery is too lethal. That big yard is where we want to go."
Ye Cong took a closer look and saw that the large courtyard was next to the small building that had just been blown up. His eyes lit up, "Is that the Yun family's mansion?"
"Yes, our mission is to capture everyone in the Yun family."
"You're not kidding. How can we do this? Shen Jiarui and Song Lie can do it, okay?"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
Ye Cong complained, "Why are you so anxious? What to do with the artillery? You can't leave it here."
The two found a place to hide the artillery and rushed towards Yuncheng.
Before Song Lie and the others reached the gate of Yuncheng, they were overtaken by two figures. After they were confirmed to be Shi Zhi and Ye Cong, their faces turned blue and white.
I know in my heart that there is a gap between myself and the big boss, but I always feel a little ashamed when faced with it.
Song Lie said to the people around him: "As expected of a boss, we have to work harder."
"Haha, please work harder and let me see."
They traveled quickly and tried their best, but he didn't believe that Song Lie still had some strength left.
Ye Cong and Shi Zhi were like a gust of wind, so fast that no one could be seen, and they went straight to their destination.
The chaos on the street did not hinder them. Song Lie and the others who were following them did not have this ability. They were squeezed by the chaotic crowd and spent a lot of effort to reach their destination.
At this time, Ye Cong and Shi Zhi were like fish swimming in the sea, moving easily and freely through the Yun family mansion, not sparing any corner.
They drove all the living creatures of the Yun family into a large courtyard. The Yun family, who had just been frightened, were gathered together in a daze before they could recover. There were more than two hundred people.
Among them, most of them are women, the female dependents and slave servants of the Yun family, and the rest are the guards who look after the house and the courtyard.
The old woman of the Yun family is the mother of the current city lord Yun Cang. She has a noble status, has always been arrogant and domineering.
Although she was caught off guard, the anger in Old Madam Yun's heart surged. When she saw Ye Cong, she could no longer hold back and said angrily: "Where did you come from, you scumbag? You dare to do this to me? I will skin you and chop you." My hands and feet will be chopped off, and your life will be worse than death. Open your dog eyes and look, come here and kneel down for me."
"Oh, the old woman is so majestic. I'm so scared." Ye Congpi smiled, "If you weren't the old woman of the Yun family, I wouldn't tie you up."
Old Lady Yun became even more angry, "Who are you? Tell me your name and I will kill you. No one has dared to do this to me."
"Hey, what a coincidence, I just want to be the number one, what can you do to me?" Ye Cong looked like he wanted to be beaten, which attracted the glares of everyone in the Yun family.
If looks could kill, he had been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts and died late.
Just as Ye Cong was about to open his mouth, he heard Shi Zhi's voice, "Everyone is here?"
He said: "The two of us searched in person, can any fish slip through the net? Look at the rabbits, chickens and ducks over there, I have brought them over as long as they are alive."
The Yun family members, with their hands tied behind their backs, were standing, sitting, or lying on the ground, crowded together. Crying, shouting, stern threats, all kinds of voices mixed together, it was so miserable.
Shi Zhi took a look and said, "Keep an eye on the person, I'll go out."
"What are you going to do?" Ye Cong asked hurriedly. He is still confused as to how Shi Zhi wants to deal with Yuncheng.
There was no large force coming, only Shen Jiarui's group who had sneaked in before, and then less than ten people who came with them.
Yuncheng and Heping City are about the same size, with a population of nearly 300,000. Want to conquer them with less than fifty people?
Ye Cong didn't even dare to think of such a bold idea. But this is what Shi Zhi did, and it was even more puzzling to see how confident he was.
Shi Zhi ignored Ye Cong and left in a hurry.
Everything is going according to plan, success or failure depends on today.
The Yun family has been brought under control, and several other forces have also been dealt with. The reason why he didn't bring anyone here was because the people who lurked in did too much.
Since Shen Jiarui brought people to Yuncheng, he has done a lot quietly. After receiving his information, Shi Zhi thought twice and decided to trust Shen Jiarui's judgment and take a risk.
The situation in Yun City is similar to that in Heping City. The Yun family is the most powerful, followed by the Qi family.
The biggest difference between Heping City is that Yuncheng has its own characteristics and is rich in ironware. Most of the ironware in the Tianduan Mountain area comes from Yuncheng.
With resources, wealth will continue to flow. Many people came here because of the reputation, and the people gathered in Yuncheng were the most complicated and chaotic.
There are many people, many right and wrongs, and various forces gather together, all wanting a piece of the pie. This has created a mixed network of forces in Yuncheng. On the surface, the Yun family is the leader, but in fact there are countless forces, big and small. Fighting often occurs, and bloodshed and sacrifice are common.
Gradually, the atmosphere of Yuncheng changed accordingly. The people became strong and strong, and there were no timid people, because there was no way to survive in such a place.
When Shen Jiarui brought people here for the first time, Yuncheng received Pingcheng's letter and was on guard.
But when they infiltrated for the second time, Yuncheng lost its guard. They lurked quietly, got to know Yuncheng, and acted gradually, causing many small forces to switch sides.
After successfully recruiting two major forces into the group, Shen Jiarui conveyed the news to Shi Zhi that the time was ripe.
Shi Zhi was also a highly skilled man and had the courage to come alone. He completely believed in Shen Jiarui and cooperated with his actions.
Ye Meng and others did not agree with such a dangerous move at all. It was Shi Zhi who had his own way.
Ye Cong was completely kept in the dark. He had just arrived in Pingcheng and was pulled away by Shi Zhi before he had time to rest.
Pingcheng, City Lord's Mansion, Ye Meng sat alone in the room, sighing for the umpteenth time, his eyes full of worry.
I couldn't help but blame Shi Zhi in my heart, why should I tell her the truth and make people uneasy.
Was he also worried about asking her to be prepared in case it didn't work out?
Thinking about things, Ye Meng became more irritable, so she asked someone to bring Lan Xing over.
Lan Xing arrived quickly. Since his promotion, he has been following Shi Zhi, obeying his orders and taking care of Pingcheng's security work.
Ye Meng went straight to the point, "Did Shi Zhi say anything to you before he left?"
"Ah? Where has Shi Zhi gone?" Lan Xing was surprised, he had no idea, "I haven't seen him in the past few days. Is he not in the garrison mansion?"
Ye Meng's voice rose, "You don't know anything? You are often at the garrison, responsible for assisting Shi Zhi, and you don't even know when others are not around?"
Lan Xing said sincerely: "I really don't know. Shi Zhi is the commander-in-chief, and we all have to obey orders."
Ye Meng waved his hand and said feebly: "Forget it, it's okay, you can go."
Before Lan Xing could walk out the door, she hurriedly said: "Shi Zhi is not around, who did he leave the garrison mansion to?"
Shi Zhi was appointed as the commander-in-chief by the Arbitration Court to take charge of all affairs of Tianduan Mountain. The garrison office was in charge of all military forces. It was a matter of great importance. He would not just leave without saying anything.
"There is no arrangement." Lan Xing was confused and puzzled, "Shi Zhi has always been in charge of the garrison mansion personally, and we don't even know that he is not there."
Ye Meng's heart felt cold, and she waved her hand and said, "Let's go." She didn't know anything, not as much as she knew.
Shi Zhi was away and wanted to take over Yuncheng with just a few people. To be honest, of course she hoped to succeed. But the actual conditions are difficult and people have to worry.
Having been frightened for more than ten days, Ye Meng was always on tenterhooks, craning his neck to wait for the news to come.
Just when she couldn't wait any longer and was about to take someone on a trip, she finally got the result.
Accurate news of Yuncheng's victory was sent to Pingcheng, and Shi Zhi signed the document personally and transferred the army to Yuncheng to deal with the aftermath.
The moment she saw the document, Ye Meng felt completely at ease.
In Yuncheng, the iconic small building in the center of the city was originally the office of the city lord, but it was blown up by artillery.
The Yun family mansion was temporarily requisitioned as the city lord's palace, and Shi Zhi and others gathered in a hall.
Ye Cong looked around. He only knew Shen Jiarui and Shi Zhi, but he had never seen the rest. Song Lie and his group who came with them were not there either.
He has been guarding the Yun family mansion, but within three days, Yun City completely changed hands.
The Yun family collapsed suddenly, and the Qi family, second only to the Yun family, was also taken over by Shen Jiarui, resulting in heavy casualties. Except for those who secretly rebelled, all the remaining families who resisted were eliminated.
The changes in Yuncheng must be swift and ruthless.
Shi Zhi only used less than fifty of his own men to capture Yuncheng. Such achievements are eye-catching enough. Of course, the biggest contributors were Shen Jiarui and others. They had been dormant for a long time and finally achieved the final result.
At this moment, he looked at Shen Jiarui with joy and praised: "You Jiarui are the biggest contributors to our ability to capture Yuncheng so quickly. I have already reported the details to the Arbitration Court and reported everything you have done." , please take credit for you."
Ye Cong immediately followed: "The Alliance has always rewarded meritorious deeds and will never treat its meritorious officials badly. Don't worry, your military merits will be realized soon after verification by the Arbitration Court."
Shen Jiarui smiled. A few years later, he no longer had the innocence of his youth. Instead, he had the composure and tenacity that he had honed, and his voice became a bit mellower. "We believe in the alliance. This time Cloud City's contribution belongs to everyone. It is the alliance that gave us the confidence to achieve today's success."
He looked at Ye Cong with bright eyes, "The artillery you brought is so powerful, the sound is loud, and the explosion is in the hearts of everyone in Yuncheng. Can you show me the artillery?"
Ye Cong nodded without hesitation, "Of course. I will take you there later."
Shen Jiarui said happily: "Okay, I can't regret it."
Then, he looked at Shi Zhi and introduced the people around him seriously, "These are all Yuncheng people who took the initiative to join the alliance. This time it was so smooth thanks to them. This is the head of Guan Yun, and all the ancestors of the Guan family are here." In Yuncheng, we make a living by blacksmithing. After many years of accumulation, the Guan family has become famous in the Yun family. This time, the Guan family was the first to join the alliance, providing us with a place to live, helping us hide, and later took the initiative to win over three Forces joined in to provide our people with large quantities of weapons.”
Guan Yun is nearly forty years old, tall and burly, with dark skin, a pair of eyes as big as his age, and hair that is like barbs stuck on his head.
After listening to Shen Jiarui's introduction, he said in a loud voice: "I have met Commander Shi and Dean Ye. I am a rough man and can't speak. Don't be offended if I say something wrong."
Before, Shen Jiarui had introduced the identities of Shi Zhi and Ye Cong to them.
When they met for the first time, Guan Yun only felt that the people in the alliance were really young and formidable. They are only in their twenties and they are all in important positions.
Ye Cong smiled and said: "Master Guan is a brave man at first glance. Being the first to respond to Jiarui and contribute to the alliance shows that he has a keen eye."
Guan Yun ignored Ye Cong's compliment and said directly: "I have seen Jiarui take action, and no one in Yuncheng can compare with him. I heard that you are all better than Jiarui. When can I learn more about it?"
Shen Jiarui's expression changed and he said hurriedly: "Master Guan, Commander Shi and Dean Ye are all prominent figures in the alliance, and it is not convenient for them to reveal their strength in front of others. They are all stronger than me. This is an indisputable fact."
Ye Cong didn't seem to notice Shen Jiarui's nervousness. "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely let Master Guan fulfill his wish." He looked at the next person.
Sitting next to Guan Yun, a middle-aged man who looks even thinner and has soft eyebrows. It is estimated that no one will take a second look if he is thrown into the crowd.
But how can the person sitting here be ordinary.
Shen Jiarui hurriedly introduced: "This is Xu Yeshan, the head of the Xu family. The Xu family is an aristocratic family in Yuncheng. They behave in a low-key manner, which is very different from other aristocratic families. They do their best to help many poor people. This time the Xu family With many years of prestige, we have recruited more than 2,000 people for us, and not only that, we are also responsible for the food for these people."
Xu Yeshan stood up and bowed to Shi Zhi and Ye Cong, "I have long admired your name. The reason why I do this is just for the poor people, and I want more people to live a good life. Shen Jiarui said that the Sun Alliance and all forces do not The same, everyone is equal and governed according to the law, so I decided to take a gamble."
As the head of the Xu family, Xu Yeshan has a completely different style of painting from those aristocratic families such as the Yun family and the Qi family. He has been determined since he was a child to punish evil and promote good, and to make changes.
We are all born as human beings, so why do we have to distinguish between three, six, and nine? Some people are just born into a good child, so they don't take other people's lives seriously.
As he gets older, Xu Yeshan sees things more clearly, and at the same time becomes more helpless. It is so difficult to change the current situation, so he can only do his best to help some people.
He originally thought he would live like this for the rest of his life, but he met Shen Jiarui and brought news about the Sun Alliance.
Xu Yeshan was like a trapped animal that suddenly saw hope. At that moment, he had no hesitation and was determined. Even if he failed, he had no regrets.
Witnessing the destruction of Yuncheng with his own eyes, and seeing Shi Zhi and Ye Cong's treatment of Yuncheng's powerful people and their attitude toward civilians, he felt a little relieved, but he couldn't rest assured yet. So, he was straightforward and straight to the point.
