Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 274;

Chapter 270;
Liu Wanquan placed the grand master's chair in the middle of the front yard of the county mansion, planning to use it as the former Chinese army tent.

The courtyard of the entire county mansion was brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and Liu Wanquan sat on it with a big horse and a golden sword.

Looking at the servants who were busy going back and forth, and thinking of the thousands of people who went out to hunt down the thief, Liu Wanquan's heart, which had been silent for six or seven years, began to boil again.

Now that there are so many sons under his command, he can dispatch them, and it is not comfortable to think about it.

The only fly in the ointment is that there are too few thieves who come, even if there are a hundred or ten people, it is fine, and I can easily line up troops. I have lived the addiction of the generals back then, haven't I?
Thinking of this, Liu Wanquan sighed in disappointment and muttered to himself;

"Oh...it's still too little..."

The two old soldiers standing beside them guessed in their hearts, what is it that there are too few, is it because there are too few thieves, or there are too few people on their side?

A thief came here and stole important things, making the whole village restless, if there were dozens of him, it would be fine, the captain didn't know what to think, it's too little?

Not long after Liu Wanquan sat down, the summer bamboos in the backyard hurried over.

A mansion soldier next to him leaned forward to report in a low voice;
"Captain, the personal leaders of the two ladies in the backyard, Xia Zhu and Ning Cui, the two ladies are here."

Only then did Liu Wanquan come back to his senses, and just as he adjusted his mood, the two women had already arrived.

Xia Zhu spoke first, and said anxiously;

"Report to the Commander, Mr. Lang asked me to report, that thief is extremely hateful, he stole all our secret methods."

"What? It's so serious?"

Liu Wanquan was so excited that he almost jumped up from the grand master's chair.

The old soldiers nearby were also dumbfounded, God, that damned thief actually stole all the secret techniques of our Zhuangzi, he really should kill their whole family to relieve their hatred...

Ning Cui was also flustered, and said to Liu Wanquan who jumped up;
"Report to Commander-in-Chief, my lord would like to know, can Commander-in-Chief have any flying pigeons to tell the other four farmers to get up and help quickly,
Chasing and intercepting, so that the thief can be completely trapped to death, those secret techniques must not be taken away, the commander must quickly think of a way, my lord is very worried..."

Before Ning Cui finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Wanquan's deep voice;

"Flying pigeons to send letters, a certain family does not, but you can go back and report, the method of a certain family is faster and faster than that flying pigeons to pass letters.

Tell Lang Jun to wait with peace of mind, before dawn, there will be no less paper, and all secret methods must be reproduced on the table in the study.

Hmph... Those aristocratic families are so courageous, they really don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and they have a big appetite, so they actually stole all of them, but I don't know, if they take them all, will they kill them?

If I, Liu Wanquan, are a dead person, I'll get out of the way... The old man told him today that he couldn't fly.

Liu Wanquan pushed away a few old soldiers around him, who hadn't had time to get out of the way, and strode forward to Dagu.

Taking a deep breath, he picked up the drum hammer again, and the soul-stirring sound of the drum sounded again, spreading in all directions...

It's just that the sound of the drums this time has changed. It's not like the drums at the beginning, which are like a gust of wind and rain, which stimulates people's emotions.

Most of the rhythm of this new round of drums is slow and smooth, with a small series of messy drumbeats in series from time to time.

It was very awkward to hear, Xia Zhu and Ningcui's two daughters also felt that the drum sound was heavier, with a stronger sense of oppression and a greater sense of crisis, and it sounded particularly uncomfortable.

The two women pulled a soldier aside and asked;
"Brother, do you know why the drum sound is so weird this time? What's the name or explanation?"

The mansion soldier who was being questioned, seeing the two first-class maids respecting him so much, immediately stood up straight and saluted;
"So that the two ladies know that the sound of the drum is a life-threatening spell in the army.

The brothers who heard it would immediately change their positions, form a siege, and kill all the bandits. The sound of the drum is an order to encircle and leave no one behind.

On the battlefield, semaphore and drums are used to summon orders,
When fighting, everything changes rapidly. If you rely on messengers to pass orders on horseback, you don't know how much time will be wasted.

The thieves have already run away, how can they stop them?Besides, there is no time to spare when you are in a hurry. How can you quickly mobilize brothers within a few miles without using semaphore and drums? "

Ning Cui, after hearing this, Xia Zhu smiled happily, Ning Cui was careful, and asked;

"Brother, do you know what the other Zhuangzi's movements are when the sound of the encirclement drum is heard?"

The old mansion soldier seemed very proud, and answered in a bullish manner;

Don't worry, the two ladies don't need to worry. In the other four villages, there is a team leader living in each.

There may be thirty or fifty soldiers in the old mansion, and there are troops in every village. This is the formation that my general has arranged for many years.

Even if the thief who stole things ran away from Zhuangzi, he could hardly escape and ascend to heaven.

The team leaders of the other four villages, after hearing the sound of the drums, must have packed up their troops and surrounded our village from the outside.

With a little bit of gathering, any suspicious person who dares to resist will be beheaded to the ground by the old soldiers who have been ordered.

No mercy, no matter what he stole from us, he couldn't take it away.

Under the general trend, it is not that you can escape from the sky just by running out of the village. Even if you escape from the encircling circle, there will be fast horses following you.

Of the five of us Zhuangzi, there are more than a dozen veteran scouts, all of whom are good at tracking.

With a little clue, you can see the dawn, not to mention that the thief was in a panic, his footsteps were disordered, and he didn't have time to deal with the traces. Isn't it a dead end waiting to be killed?

If you dare to come to my Lijiazhuang to make trouble, you have to cut him into pieces, so as to deter other Xiaoxiao people, it's too kind, and you still treat us as easy to bully, his mother..."

The more the old mansion soldier talked, the more unhappy he became. He was very angry about being kept in the mansion and couldn't go out, but he couldn't disobey his general's order, so he was helpless.

I can only vent my anger on the thief, and I have a hard mouth addiction.

When the two women saw this mansion soldier, they gritted their teeth and said that the thief must be divided into five horses to relieve their anger. Thinking about the scene, they all trembled.

Ning Cui managed to squeeze out some smiles, and spoke kindly to each other;

"Thank you for telling me."

Speaking of the thief, the old mansion soldiers wanted to kill him on the spot again, and cut his body into pieces again.

This pair met two polite first-class maids, and they didn't know where to put their hands.

One hand kept scratching his scalp, while the other hand stretched out and waved;
"My lady is too polite. You don't need to thank you, they are all from the mansion. Like this, a certain family doesn't know what to say."

The simple and honest appearance of the old mansion soldier made the two girls giggle, which made the mansion soldier blush and thick necked.

The two women didn't care about it either, and greeted Liu Wanquan who was beating the drum heartily, and hurried back to the backyard to report to the gentleman, trying to appease the anxious mood of the gentleman.

When the two women passed through the middle courtyard, they realized that the mansion was about to catch up with the Chinese New Year, and it was really lively.

Li Yi, the second in charge, got five or six extremely ferocious black hounds from somewhere. The dogs were thick and strong, grinning and showing teeth that were as long as the little finger. They were piercing and terrifying.
The two daughters, Ningcui Xiazhu, trembled when they saw it, and they still couldn't help but want to see more of those wild beasts.

Li Yi, the second manager, is pulling a group of ferocious beasts and dozens of servants, servants, holding sticks of various lengths, and is searching the entire front half of the courtyard. The courtyard was as bright as daylight.

The two women looked at the beast for a while, then passed through the second door with smiles on their faces, entered the backyard, and came to the study. Before they could stand still, Li Yu asked anxiously;

"What, but the thief caught it?"

Xia Zhu replied softly;

"Haven't been captured yet, sir."

Li Yugang's face was about to be happy, but immediately collapsed again, and couldn't help complaining;
"Since they haven't been captured, why are you two so happy? I'm so anxious. You are still in a happy mood, really."

Ningcui hurriedly opened her mouth to explain;
"Mr. Lang forgives the crime, and listen to the explanation of the servant girl."

Li Yu replied angrily;

"Explain, explain first, what kind of drums are you playing this time, with tricks, sometimes calm and sometimes anxious, what's the trick?"

Ningcui did not delay, and directly stated the details of the inquiry;
"Lang Junrong, this drum is very famous, the slave and the servant asked the retired veteran from the ranks.

It is said that the rhythm of the sound of the drum is for the purpose of summoning the four Zhuangzi's left-behind squadrons to bring their men and horses to encircle and charge. "

Wang Kexin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard such words, and hurried over to persuade her;

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. If the four Zhuangzi's men and horses are surrounded, won't the thieves just obediently be caught?"

Li Yu's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, and he nodded frequently to Wang Kexin's persuasion;

"Oh? It turns out that the sound of the drum this time is a new order. I remember that since ancient times, the sound of the drum has been heard, and the army has retreated.

I always thought that beating the drum was to summon the clansmen, or to make people rush to kill, but it turned out that it could also convey other orders. This is really great news, much faster than flying pigeons to pass letters. "

Xia Zhu also wanted to show off what he had just heard, so he couldn't help but interjected;

"My lord, that's exactly the case. The sound of drums is not too much faster than the sending of letters by flying pigeons.

You don't need to waste time writing letters, and you don't need to feed the pigeons. Once the drum beats here, it will be heard for more than ten miles.

The four Zhuangzi outside of us will receive new orders from the commander immediately.

The veteran also said that each of our other four Zhuangzi has a team like Lin Wulang stationed. They are all skilled in martial arts and have won military merits in battle.

It was the first sound of the drum just now, so the strong men in Zhuangzi must have been summoned.

Hearing the sound of the drum again, they will immediately form a big circle from a few miles away, and then slowly gather it up.

The thief just escaped from Zhuangzi, and now he is dying, so he is in the circle of the place.

If it is from the periphery, five or six miles away, it must be surrounded, unless it grows wings, otherwise, it must be a dead end. "

Ningcui also hurriedly said;

"Sir, Commander Liu has issued a death order, and no one will be left alive. Whether it is a thief who steals something or someone who comes to meet him, all of them will be killed on the spot.

Then take back all the things on the thief, and now you don't have to worry about it anymore. Those secret methods can be put back on your desk in less than an hour. "

Situ Yunsha finally let go of his heart this time, and happily stepped forward to persuade Li Yu;

"Your Majesty, sit here at ease. I estimate that before dawn, we will be able to retrieve all of our secret techniques, and none of them will be revealed."

After Xia Zhu and Ning Cui finished speaking, they all looked at Li Yu with smiles, looking forward to the compliment.

Li Yu was relieved when he heard this, and laughed loudly;

"Okay, my lord knows that, you two are smart, if you go out to inquire about it yourself, you will definitely be able to ask clearly.

However, now is not the time to celebrate. When all my secret techniques are recovered, I will reward you according to your merits, and the two of you will also get a big deal. "

Xia Zhu, Ning Cui couldn't be happier after hearing this, they both said at the same time;
Thank you for the reward, sir. This is the job of a slave and a maidservant, and I dare not be greedy for merit. "

Li Yu heard about Liu Wanquan's plan, so Zhou Xiang, even if there was someone to support him, the thief would not be able to run away, so he felt completely at ease, and put away his dark face;

"Whether it is a matter of duty or not, everyone who has made meritorious deeds tonight will be rewarded, even if a reward of one hundred coins is due to my wrong intentions.

If meritorious service is not rewarded, and demerits are not punished, who will trust me in the future...
