"Are you really hungry? Do you really want to eat meat?" Su Hou obviously saw Shen Gongxi's expression, but he smiled slightly and didn't seem to care. Of course, he saw the cruelty in Shen Gongxi's eyes and understood that he wanted to establish his authority.
At this moment, Su Hou was naturally not in the mood to worry about others, but he understood the purpose of Shen Yanran and Shen Gongxi's visit, and secretly asked Xiao Cheng to pay attention again. When he said this, he couldn't help but look back. The expressions of Shen Yanran and Monk Mu Ping on the roof were Finally he became serious.
Because Su Hou himself had just taken a pill of "Nine Transformations Zhudan", which was the elixir owned by the elders of Xiaoyao Sect. But at this time, Shen Gongxi also had a magic pill in his hand. Even Su Hou was a little surprised, because it was also a "Nine Turns Zhu Pill"!
Xiao Cheng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Suhou's gourd, so he dared to ask Suhou about it. But after all, young people have a temperament, so they can't help but whisper to Su Hou in their hearts. I didn't expect to see Shen Gongxi's reaction in front of me, so I felt a sudden surprise, but it was Su Hou who drew the attention of these people back to the front.
"What's going on?" Seeing the thing in Shen Gongxi's hand, Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment, but when Su Hou motioned for him to take it, he reached out and took it. Xiao Cheng is not a stubborn person. Now that he has had a few sips, he feels that the wine from this wine gourd is not bad. He immediately smiled and thanked Su Hou, and couldn't help but take two sips.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the wine entered his throat, a burning sensation would flow down his throat. Xiao Cheng was so frightened that he froze and almost choked. Before he could speak, he felt like a fire in his stomach, spreading all over his body and limbs.
Su Hou shook his head and signaled Xiao Jiulang not to be nervous. He took out a big chicken drumstick from his bag and ate it with relish. Seeing that Xiao Cheng's blushing face gradually softened, he took out another chicken drumstick and handed it to Xiao Jiulang.
Xiao Cheng couldn't help but ask Su Hou what it was and why it was so violent, but Su Hou shook his head and smiled silently. Xiao Cheng had no other choice, but thinking that his master and master were here, Su Hou would never harm him, so he forced a smile and said thank you to Su Hou.
Su Hou looked incomprehensible and waved his hand to indicate to Xiao Cheng that there was no need to be polite. Xiao Cheng gradually felt warm and comfortable all over his body, knowing that this wine was something famous. I couldn't help but gnaw on the chicken drumsticks, and then changed the topic and tentatively asked Su Hou what he usually likes to eat.
He was stunned for a moment, but looking at Xiao Cheng's sincere look, he glanced at the people around him and whispered: "It's hard to answer what I like to eat, but as long as I like a certain taste, naturally It’s inevitable to have a full meal!”
Xiao Cheng was about to answer, but unexpectedly, another message from Su Hou came to his ears, saying that there were also people from the Jianghu on the boat. He didn't know what reason they had for asking Xiao Cheng not to call him uncle. , let alone the affairs in the family, just call yourself Mr. Su.
If anyone is found to disturb people's hearts, they will be killed without mercy until the matter at Xicang Camp is over.
Of course, when the people in the city heard the news, except for some strong laborers, one or two from each family came out under the leadership of the village chief, and the rest all returned one after another. Even those who were brave and wanted to watch the excitement had no idea after seeing soldiers taking to the streets.
Things seemed to be going on in an orderly manner here. What many people didn't know was that the military camp outside the city was also preparing to come to Liaocheng Mansion to put out the fire under the arrangements of the general after receiving the Tiger Talisman order from the defense envoy.
The Xicheng Camp was not only involved in court supplies, but it was also where the supplies for the Northern Expedition were stored. The defense commander ordered everyone to come and put out the fire, but no one thought much about it. What's more, when there is no war, you may be promoted because you are fighting fires. Who doesn't want to show this kind of good thing?
Everyone didn't even wear armor, and they didn't even bring weapons. So they hurried to Ximen under the leadership of the general. Naturally, there were people at the west gate to respond, because the city gate had been closed. At this moment, I saw soldiers wearing only thin clothes below the city. The people on the city tower ordered everyone to gather and line up to enter the city.
Although everyone came to put out the fire, after all, there was a garrison camp, so the general meeting still had to be arranged routinely, and soldiers were left on duty in the barracks. There were less than a hundred people left in the barracks outside the city tonight, and everyone took it for granted. After all, the materials in the Xicang Camp were damaged, and all the people in Liaocheng Prefecture were in danger.
Looking at the soldiers marching into the city, Ji Hongchang had a smile on his face. He glanced at the young man named Ye Zhu next to him and said quietly: "How's it going over there at Blue Wolf?"
"Don't worry, Wolf King. Blue Wolf has made arrangements, and all the brothers have been arranged to join the army." Ye Zhen looked at the soldiers trotting into the city, and suddenly whispered: "Wolf King, really let it go." Them!" His voice was trembling.
Looking at the expectant eyes in front of him, Ji Hongchang deeply understood what he was shouldering, and said in a deep voice: "They are just like us. What's more, killing can't solve the problem now. In the future, we will only have to look at our people to take care of their hearts!"
"Thank you, Wolf King, for your teaching!" Ye Zhu raised his hands in a military salute.
Ji Hongchang naturally understood what Ye Zhu meant. There were few people on his side, so even if he got Wang Junge to join, everyone would get what they needed. If you can't deal with the strength of these Liaocheng Mansion soldiers, even if you have occupied this Liaocheng Mansion, it will have no effect on your own plan, and it will be a huge disaster.
Because occupation is only temporary, but occupation is the long-term solution!
If he can only occupy it, he may be expelled at any time, because he only has a team of a few hundred people and cannot attack or defend. This is not the result Ji Hongchang wants, nor is it the result of this trip plan. I need to gain a foothold here, and I also need to develop my strength here as a fire source.
To carve out a base of his own in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Ji Hongchang understood that he was dancing on the tip of a knife, which was tantamount to poaching a piece of meat from the heart of the Central Plains feudal town. Thinking back to when he promised Liu Jixing, Ji Hongchang never thought that he would complete this task.
After occupying Liaocheng Mansion, if the Zhou court simply sent troops, there would be nothing to worry about. Now there are dangers from all directions. If Zhou State sends troops to gather together, if you are not careful, these people will be killed.
As my mentor in Bole, I am my mentor in this life. Whether he taught him martial arts or asked him to follow him and be loyal to Liu Jixing, Ji Hongchang did not doubt his choice in the slightest. So I accepted this task and made great achievements now.
Ji Hongchang believed in Shiwu. Of course, after having a heart-to-heart talk with Liu Jixing, he felt that he had an extra responsibility in his life. Because of that heart-to-heart talk, he also believed in this young emperor. He knew that he had found the goal and pursuit of this life, and he would rather die for this pursuit.
