"you……!"
Everyone here in Xuanyang City gritted their teeth in anger at the shameless appearance of the captain of Qianyin City when they saw the scene on the city wall.
It stands to reason that since they have the latest gunpowder packs for this battle, victory shouldn't be difficult.
But I never expected that these dog officials and villains would be so capable.
Seeing the appearance of Xuanyang City, the captain of Qianyin City was even more embarrassed and said to the people: "Did you see it? It's not me who is harming you now! It is these guys in front of you who are harming you! If they didn't If we attack Qianyin City, so many things won't happen today! So, if you want to blame, blame them!"
At this time, a young man suddenly spit out the rag in his mouth and shouted in the direction of Li Ergou and others: "Masters of Xuanyang City! You guys, just come and attack us! Leave us alone! Instead of living in this world, With them holding us hostage, we might as well fight with them!!"
After hearing this, the captain of Qianyin City was furious!
He immediately let go of the shield he had caught, then walked towards the young man, kicked the young man on the back, kicked the young man to the ground, and then pulled out the long knife fiercely: "Good guy! You want to die, right? ?! Okay, since you want to die so much, then I will make it happen for you!!"
After saying that, the captain of Qianyin City was about to slash at the young man with his sword.
But at this time, the guy kneeling next to the young man, with his hands and feet bound, struggled to stand up, and then slammed his shoulder into the captain of Qianyin City, and the sword of the captain of Qianyin City failed.
Then the common man also spit out the rags and shouted: "Damn it! Fight with them! Even if you fight to the death, the men of Xuanyang City will help us avenge ourselves. What are we afraid of?!"
The words fell.
Other people who were held hostage on the city wall, whether they were old people or women, also struggled and resisted!
The long-term exploitation has caused their hatred and anger towards these dog officials and villains to reach a peak. In addition, the army in Xuanyang City now gives them hope.
So this time they finally decided not to hold back any longer!
All rise up to resist!
They hit the officers and soldiers with their bodies, the younger ones helped the older ones resist the knife, and then the older ones tried their best to stop the officers and soldiers from attacking others, biting or bumping them, whatever they could.
For a time, there was chaos on the city wall.
The captain of Qianyin City was furious at the scene in front of him!
He covered his helmet which was slightly knocked crooked, and stood up and cursed angrily: "It's the other way around! Kill! Kill them all! Then another group of children will come up!!"
Li Ergou and others saw this in the distance and no longer hesitated.
Otherwise, once the captain of Qianyin City kills everyone on the city wall, they will be in a dilemma again.
Li Ergou raised his long sword high and shouted: "Brothers! For the sake of the king, charge!!!"
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Then the war drums sounded.
Li Ergou took the lead and rushed forward on horseback, followed closely by Hu Dingyong and Chen Jinlan on horseback.
Two thousand soldiers followed suit and charged: "Kill!!!"
Seeing that Xuanyang City's army was really attacking, Qianyin City's side also panicked.
They ignored the people whose hands and feet were bound, and quickly ordered the soldiers below the city to bring up huge rocks, kerosene, etc. in preparation for the battle.
But even the soldiers no longer focused on dealing with the common people.
In a narrow passage, with a bunch of people bumping into each other, accidents will eventually happen.
An old woman was accidentally knocked down during the collision and fell from the city wall.
The old woman's son was tied hand and foot, but he was unable to save the old woman.
"mom--!"
The old woman's mouth was still stuffed with rags, her back facing the ground.
She knew she was about to die, but she still held back her tears and left her son the best with a smile on her face, as if she was telling him: Don't be sad about mom's death, live well...
See this scene.
The old woman's son was not the only one who was moved.
Li Ergou, Chen Jinlan, Hu Dingyong and others, including the little demons hiding in the dark, were also moved!
Everyone secretly cursed: Damn it!
Whether they were riding horses, the faster monsters themselves, or the crow, the fastest among the monsters, they all had no time to save the falling old woman.
But even so, everyone still exerted their strength and rushed towards the old woman as fast as they could.
Although the chance is slim, everyone still wants to give it a try.
Then I saw two groups of people rushing toward the old woman at extremely fast speeds.
The little crow was also flying at low altitude at a very fast speed.
Seeing the old woman's back getting closer and closer to the ground, everyone's mood became heavier and heavier, and the old woman's son fell into despair: "Mom——!"
But at this time, the old woman who was supposed to fall to the ground suddenly suspended in mid-air and stopped falling.
This made everyone stunned for a while.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the jade-faced fox standing on a cloud and flying over from a distance.
After reacting, Xuanyang City and the little demons all knelt down on one knee: "Greetings to the princess!"
Everyone in Qianyin City was dumbfounded.
He stood there motionless.
It was as if a time stopper had been pressed.
At this time, the old woman was also stunned and slowly fell to the ground.
After she stood up and regained her senses, she quickly knelt down and thanked her: "Thank you, fairy, for saving me! Thank you, fairy, for saving me!"
The son on the city wall also knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, fairy, for saving me! Thank you, fairy, for saving me!"
On the other hand, the Qianyin City side, even though they had come to their senses, still did not dare to move.
Except for the thanksgivings of the mother and son, there was only silence in the whole place.
They all waited for the jade-faced fox to give orders.
After the mother and son's voices stopped, the jade-faced fox just said coldly: "You haven't done anything yet, what are you waiting for?"
Li Ergou, who was kneeling on one knee, quickly understood. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, princess."
Then Li Ergou waved his hand towards the back: "Can't you hear what the princess said? If you don't take action yet, what are you waiting for? Take Qianyin City quickly!"
The words fell.
Everyone in Xuanyang City looked happy!
On the contrary, everyone here in Qianyin City looked panicked.
The captain of Qianyin City was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't be deceived by her! She is not a liar at all! She is a monster! Do it quickly! As long as you kill the people in the city, you will definitely cause trouble." Attention from the gods in the sky! When the time comes, they will be the ones who die! Do it quickly!"
The jade-faced fox frowned slightly.
This was the first time she met a mortal who dared to openly question her and resist her.
The jade hand was slightly raised, aimed at the captain of Qianyin City, and gave him a firm grip!
pia!
The captain of Qianyin City exploded like a watermelon.
Blood splattered all over the faces of the people around him.
However, because of the behavior of the jade-faced fox, the desire to survive on the part of the Qianyin City soldiers was awakened: "Monster...monster!! She is really a monster! Not a fairy!! The school captain was killed by her! The school captain was killed by her Kill! Everyone, do it quickly!!"
The orders were passed on one after another.
Like a prepared secret signal, the command to 'take action' spread from person to person throughout Qianyin City in an instant.
In an instant, all the evil-doing people in Qianyin City drew their knives and prepared to attack the selected people!
The jade-faced fox frowned even more when he saw this!
She released her pressure to the maximum, but controlled the intensity to restrict their actions, forcibly restricting the actions of some people in Qianyin City.
But even so, there are still most people who are not affected by the coercion.
The villains were originally frightened by their companions' immobility, but when they found out that they were not affected by anything, they shouted ecstatically: "That witch can't control everyone! She's anxious! She's anxious ! Prove that our method is really effective! Quick! Others, please take action! Everyone who is not affected, please take action!"
In an instant.
In Qianyin City, all kinds of screams and screams could be heard one after another.
The jade-faced fox looked solemn and managed to say: "Go and stop them quickly, I won't be able to hold on for long."
Li Ergou, Chen Jinlan, Hu Dingyong, including the monsters, woke up at the same time!
Afterwards, no one needed to direct them, everyone or the demons rushed towards Qianyin City at full speed.
The venue kept ringing with shouts from the Xuanyang City side: "Hurry! Go and help!!"
Everyone's faces were filled with anxiety.
Because everyone knows that it is difficult for them to save everyone, they can only save one person at a time.
As for Qianyin City, in desperation, they were unwilling to hold back.
Even some good soldiers originally planned to help the people at critical moments, but at this moment they had to stand up in advance and became the targets of the crowd.
In other words, except for the direction of the northern city gate controlled by the jade-faced fox, which is relatively stable.
The remaining three directions, southeast and west, can be said to be very chaotic.
Seeing that the situation has gradually evolved from the level of injuries to the level of casualties.
At this time, two pressures comparable to those of the jade-faced fox suddenly appeared on the east and west sides at the same time! The sudden scene shocked Qianyin City again!
what happened?
Can’t the witch only control the people on the other side of the city gate?
Why can't they move even though they are so far apart?
Then, everyone saw two figures floating over the east and west underground respectively.
They are none other than Lu Xiujing and Fan Wujiu!
After the two appeared, they both nodded to the jade-faced fox.
The jade-faced fox also gave the same response coldly.
Although the two parties did not communicate, this action alone was enough to prove that the other party was 'like-minded', and there was no need to say anything more.
After the villains on the Qianyin City side reacted, in desperation, they no longer cared whether these people were monsters or immortals. They gritted their teeth and roared: "Two more monsters appeared!! Those who don't want to die, but those who can still move, Hurry up and do it!!"
Someone soon responded to him: "South! People in the south can still move!!"
"Quick! Do it quickly! Otherwise, you will never have a chance again!"
When people in the south heard this, they were also anxious!
I felt cruel and decided not to show any mercy!
But at this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came to the ears of everyone in the south: "Hey, old man, my gold paint sign is really gone now~"
Immediately afterwards, a pressure also appeared in the south of Qianyin City.
Then the land of Chechi Kingdom slowly floated into the air and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Lu Xiujing and Fan Wujiu also followed Che Chi and nodded to show their respects.
After Che Chiguo Tutu responded to the two of them, he smiled and bowed to the jade-faced fox.
The jade-faced fox didn't talk nonsense, and his voice directly echoed throughout the entire Qianyin City: "Why don't we take Qianyin City quickly?"
"Yes!!"x2000++
With the participation of Jade Faced Fox, Lu Xiujing, Fan Wujiu, and Che Chi from all directions, it would be much easier to control the next situation.
After the soldiers from Xuanyang City and the monsters from Langlang Mountain entered the scene and took full control of the scene, the jade-faced fox, Lu Xiujing, Fan Wujiu, and Chechi Guotu slowly regained their pressure.
The troublemakers were quickly brought under full control.
After all, they only had more than 2,000 people at their best.
As for Xuanyang City, with the active help of the people, it would be no big deal to control more than two thousand people.
Therefore, Qianyin City was completely captured very quickly.
The rest is just some finishing work.
But before Li Ergou, Hu Dingyong and others could discuss their next plan, Jade Faced Fox and the other three immortals appeared in front of everyone and ordered: "Qingbeicheng is your next target, right? In this case, then take advantage of them while they are still there." If you don’t react, go and take them down today. To avoid the situation like before.”
Li Ergou bent down and held his hands in his hands: "Ergou takes the order!"
Afterwards, Xuanyang City left a small number of troops, and then gathered a large army to march towards Qingbei City again.
Arrive at Qingbeicheng.
Following the same pattern, Jade Faced Fox, Lu Xiujing, Fan Wujiu, and Che Chiguo Tutu controlled the four directions of Qingbei City: the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Then a group of soldiers from Xuanyang City entered the city and captured Qingbei City in one fell swoop.
After imprisoning all those who caused trouble or had the opportunity to cause trouble, today's incident was finally over.
The jade-faced fox returns to Jilei Mountain.
Lu Xiujing hid in the darkness again.
Fan Wushu returned to the underworld.
Che Chiguo Tu returned to his Tutu Temple.
At this point, Zhao Lei's forces had completely captured the four cities surrounding Chechi Kingdom.
Of course, Li Ergou and the others had no interference in Xiannancheng, but with the presence of Weasel, the Crouching Dragon, it was actually quite different from taking down Xiannancheng.
It's just that Zhao Lei is currently in an unconscious state, otherwise he will definitely be shocked when he finds out what his current income is.
…
Time flies, and the years fly by.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third month of Zhao Lei's retreat.
A month ago, when Li Ergou and the others completely captured the towns around Chechi Country, the changes that took place in this month were also very big.
First of all, winter is coming.
After taking control of the four cities, the first thing Li Jincheng did was to order people to build ditches and waterwheels in the countryside around the towns, hoping to usher in another bumper harvest before winter came.
Of course, the builders must be those prisoners.
After all, Zhao Lei once said that scum can be killed directly, so don't waste rice.
This can be regarded as the last chance for these prisoners to reform, and then they will wait until Zhao Lei is released from prison before making a decision.
The second thing is reading and literacy, which everyone thinks Zhao Lei pays most attention to.
In order to implement Zhao Lei's ideas.
Li Ergou made a bold move!
Gather all the teachers together to build a large school for the people in the four towns to study. Of course, only for advanced classes.
Beginner classes and intermediate classes are still held in book schools in their respective towns.
Next is the business model.
The distinction of household registration will definitely not work here in Zhao Lei.
Since Li Ergou and others took over, they have posted a list indicating that in the future, whether everyone likes to engage in agriculture, business, or military service, they can do whatever they want, and there will no longer be distinctions between high and low, and everyone will be treated equally.
After hearing the news, some people in the two cities were happy and some were sad.
Most of the people at the bottom are of course happy.
After all, they can finally no longer be restricted by their household registration and can do whatever they want.
For example, some people with military status want to go into business or retire and return to their fields, which is what they want.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are dissatisfied.
That's the father of those young men.
They always hope that their sons will succeed, or that their sons will inherit the family business, or that they will become officials and let their ancestral graves smoke.
But when these young men came into contact with new things in Xuanyang City, they came back and told their father: I want to be a scientist!
Or I want to be an agriculturist!
Doesn't this make their parents angry to death?
As a result, during this period of time, there were many scenes of crying, making trouble, and hanging in the homes of wealthy families.
But everyone only saw it as a joke.
After all, no one really had any thoughts of committing suicide.
Everything will have to wait until Zhao Lei comes out of isolation before they know what their future direction will be.
Of course, business models are not limited to these.
There are also taxes and other matters. From now on, everything will be changed according to Xuanyang City's template.
The model of operating around the clock at 12 o'clock is also in full swing.
Li Ergou, on his side, went all out to build the other three cities into a city that never sleeps.
Let all ordinary people be able to do good deeds around the clock from now on!
In general, after Xuanyang City took over the other two cities and Weasel took over Xiannan City, everything was developing for the better.
The three cities that had become deserted because of the approaching war are now slowly recovering their flow of people.
It can be said that everyone is happy.
This is what happened in these four cities in the past month.
Of course, it's not just the towns that have changed.
Weasel and Coach Bear have also undergone very big changes.
…
now.
In the intermediate class in Xuanyang City.
Few of the first batch of students who studied with Zhao Lei are still here now.
Most of the people who appear here are unfamiliar faces.
Among them, Weasel and Coach Bear are the most unfamiliar.
They no longer come to study in disguise.
Instead, he swaggered to Xuanyang City, entered the department and sat down.
Moreover, along the way, looking at the friendly relationship between the common people and classmates, it is not difficult to see that this is not the first time that they have appeared in Xuanyang City with their own identities.
The sun sets.
It's time for get out of class to end again.
All the students stood up and respectfully saluted the elder of Lijiacun, including Weasel and Coach Xiong: "Goodbye, sir. Walk slowly, sir."
Then I saw Mr. Lijiacun picking his teeth and leaving the school in a relaxed and comfortable manner.
Coach Weasel and Bear are very courteous.
After everyone left, they were ready to leave.
At this time, the always timid Coach Xiong couldn't help but said: "Weasel, is there really no problem? It's been three months. In my opinion, the tiger demon is about to come out of seclusion. After he comes out of seclusion, he will really They won’t kill us?”
The weasel stopped and frowned.
This is also his biggest concern.
Ever since White Deer, Black Sheep, Li Ergou and the others discovered that the two demons often came to Xuanyang City in disguise to study, they had been on tenterhooks all the time.
But the problem is that not only did White Deer, Black Sheep and Li Ergou not make things difficult for them, they even welcomed them to learn.
This forced them to wonder what Zhao Lei's attitude was.
Of course, Li Ergou just took over Xiannancheng.
Even in the village occupied by Coach Xiong, Li Ergou sent people to reform them.
But, as time goes by.
They thought that Zhao Lei was about to leave seclusion, and their moods became more and more unsettled.
Just when Weasel was about to say something, Li Ergou came to visit just at this time: "How is it? Master Huang, Master Xiong, are you still used to studying in Xuanyang City?"
Being asked this by a mortal.
The two demons still felt a little strange in their hearts.
No, I still nodded.
"Just get used to it. When the king comes out of seclusion, he will be very happy to see the two demon masters change their ways and benefit the people."
Faced with Li Ergou's promise, Weasel still had some doubts: "Are you really sure that your king will not deal with us after he comes out of seclusion?"
Li Ergou was stunned.
Immediately, there was a wry smile: "Since the two demon masters don't believe it, why not come with Ergou to take a look?"
After that, Li Ergou walked towards the only temple in Xuanyang City.
Coach Weasel and Bear followed closely behind.
It didn't take long.
The two demons came to the temple alone.
Now the temple has become magnificent.
The incense is more intense than before.
However, in the eyes of Weasel and Coach Bear, this doesn't make much sense. Both demons were a little curious as to why Li Ergou brought them here.
Li Ergou seemed to see the doubts of the two people.
Stop.
He turned around, pointed into the temple, and said to Weasel and Coach Bear with a slight smile: "Do you two demon masters still remember who is in the temple?"
Weasel and Coach Bear looked at each other intently.
At first glance, I didn't notice anything.
But after they looked at it for a long time, the eyes of the two demons couldn't help but slowly get bigger!
"He...he...isn't he your king's enemy?! Why is he here?!" Coach Xiong pointed at Huang Fugui in great surprise.
The weasel on the side was equally as shocked as him.
This yellow wealth turned into ashes, and even the weasel could not forget it.
After all, it was this guy who caused him so much misery in the first place.
Li Ergou clasped his hands behind his back, held his head high, and said very proudly: "Your Majesty is merciful. As long as you are willing to sincerely change your ways, how can you continue to embarrass the two evil masters? You see? Since Mr. Huang sincerely changed his ways, The magnificent decoration of the new house was all arranged by the King. Also, Mr. Huang’s food and drink expenses were all arranged by the King.
Let me ask, the king is even willing to forgive Mr. Huang and even take care of him.
As long as the two demon masters sincerely change their ways, how can the king make things difficult for them? "
Weasel and Coach Bear looked at each other.
The eyes of both parties are full of disbelief...
