The school grounds outside Xuanyang City.
A thousand guardsmen were gathered here in formation.
There were another thousand guardsmen, and Ma Pijin asked them to stay and guard Xuanyang City.
Even though Huang Fugui had given him half of his family fortune and he had begun recruiting troops, he was still unwilling to take the risk of losing two thousand guardsmen to deal with Zhao Lei.
Most of the thousand guards selected now are guys who usually don't obey his discipline very much.
It's perfect for sacrifice.
At this moment, on the school field.
Ma Pijin brought Huang Fugui to the martial arts stage together, and said to the guards: "I believe everyone has heard of the rumor that monsters appear in our Xuanyang City. Today, I am here to tell you clearly. ...That’s right! The rumors are all true!”
The guards suddenly burst into an uproar.
They all whispered to each other.
Ma Pijin shouted loudly: "Quiet! Maybe some people don't believe what I said. So today, I specially called Mr. Huang next to me, Huang Fugui! Mr. Huang is a kind man, and no one in the city knows it. , everyone knows it. Sadly, good people are not rewarded, but Mr. Huang became the biggest victim in this monster incident! Next, Mr. Huang will tell his personal experience! "
Most of these soldiers are not locals.
The place where they usually live is also in the military camp outside the city, so they basically know little about the specific situation in the city.
Now that they heard that Huang Fugui, a 'good man', was the victim, everyone couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Huang Fugui, who was above Qiqing, said to everyone with a haggard look: "Generals, hello everyone..."
Seeing Huang Fugui's expression, the guards became more convinced.
"Old Chan is sixty-three, and he is engaged in cloth business in Xuanyang City. He helps some poor families on weekdays and helps them solve their difficulties in life. Under the influence of Lao Chan since childhood, Quan'er also developed a heart of doing good. But a while ago, when Quan'er went to a nearby village to help the people as usual, he was beaten to death by a monster that suddenly appeared indiscriminately!
The poor dog was only in his twenties and was just gone.
The old man came to have a son, but he asked a white-headed man to give a black-headed man, and my wife was bedridden because of this..."
Speaking of this, Huang Fugui couldn't help crying hysterically.
Seeing the guards was very worried.
Everyone knows how important it is to carry on the family line.
So everyone more or less understands Huang Fugui's mood.
After Huang Fugui's painful drama was over, it was Ma Pijin's turn to appear again: "You have heard it, right? But I can tell you clearly here that what happened to Mr. Huang is just the tip of the iceberg of the evil deeds of monsters! Xuan Xuan There are more people in Yangcheng who are being persecuted and insulted by monsters, but they have no way to seek help!
Monsters can persecute the people of Xuanyang City today, and they can also persecute our families tomorrow!
So I am gathering everyone this time just to defeat the monsters!
I ask you, are you willing to see monsters continue to persecute people and your families? "
All the guards said in unison: "I don't want to!!"
"Very good, then pick up your weapons and join me to defeat the monsters!"
"Destroy the monsters!"
"Destroy the monsters!"
"Destroy the monsters!"
The guards kept raising their spears and shouting loudly.
The atmosphere in the school grounds instantly became overwhelming, with people sharing the same hatred and hatred.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Ma Pijin raised his hand and clenched his fist to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Remember, your enemy this time is a vicious monster! I believe everyone understands what it means to let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles. So you can't If you have a luck mentality, you must not hold back! Even if the monster has hostages in its hands, you must kill them with all your strength! Otherwise, not only the hostages will die, but the people standing behind you will also be harmed, whether you know it or not. clear?!"
"Understood!!" x1000
"Captain Hu!"
"The general is here!" Captain Hu, wearing a vest and a bronze helmet, took a step forward in the first row of the guards, bowed his head and held his hands.
"Change out of your civilian clothes and lead a small team to Lijia Village to investigate the monsters' movements. I will lead a group of soldiers to wait for news from you at the city gate."
This was the result reached after discussion between Ma Pijin, the county magistrate and Huang Fugui.
They will definitely not fight in person.
Monsters like to eat scholars. If the monster ignores the guards and comes towards them, then the joke will be really big.
That's why we came up with this countermeasure: first send people to check the location of the monsters, and then decide how to attack.
This can be avoided. If the monster is not there, their laborious movement will not alert the snake.
"The last general takes command!"
Lieutenant Hu pointed at two people and planned to change clothes and carry out the mission.
Ma Pijin frowned and said, "Colonel Hu, you can only bring this few people, is that enough?"
"Sir, we are just going to investigate the situation this time. With more people, it is easier to be exposed."
Ma Pijin thought the same thing, waved his hand, and allowed Captain Hu to take the two people away.
After the two left, Huang Fugui, who seemed to be in grief, gritted his teeth behind him and whispered softly: "My lord, you promised me two thousand guardsmen. Now there are only one thousand guardsmen. Aren't you worried, sir?" , even if these thousand guards are dead, will they still not attract the attention of the Immortal Family?"
Ma Pijin said calmly: "Don't worry, there are my people among the guards. Even if one thousand is not enough, the monsters can't accidentally kill four to five hundred lives in Lijia Village..."
Huang Fugui had given up half of his family fortune, but he was unwilling to do so and still wanted to say something.
Ma Pijin immediately shouted: "That's enough. One thousand guards, plus the hundreds of lives in Lijia Village, there are thousands or hundreds. If you really want to attract the attention of the Xian family, let's take another one in." What's the use of a thousand people?! Huang Fugui, do you really think your little family property can support so many people?"
Seeing that Ma Pijin was angry, Huang Fugui had no choice but to swallow his breath silently and stop talking.
…
the other side.
In a tent in the military camp.
Colonel Hu and his two subordinates were taking off their vests and bronze helmets, preparing to put on the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people.
At this time, one of his subordinates couldn't help changing his clothes and said: "Brother Hu, that dog officer usually knows that there are horse thieves coming to the village, but he refuses to take care of it. Today he is so kind and calls us to eliminate monsters for the people." ?Is this a scam?”
Colonel Hu took off his armor and said nonchalantly: "First, maybe those monsters really threatened his life and forced him to send troops. Second, maybe those monsters harmed his interests. Of course, it's also possible that it was really a trap. . In short, whether it is a scam or not, we will know after we go over and take a look."
Not long after, the three of them changed into their casual clothes, mounted their horses and rode towards Lijia Village...
