Domineering

Chapter 205 Invincible (for subscription)

Wei Yang really wanted to use the Xishan County Army to make a special contribution in return for Chu Xisheng's life-saving grace.

But just when all the members of Xishan Hall left the fort and formed an array outside the fort.The two thousand Xishan County troops three miles away dispersed with a bang.

Commander Yan Guo was the first to flee with his horses, and the rest of the Xishanwei Army's soldiers and horses also fled in a swarm.

Some fled to the north of the military camp, while some soldiers from the Shen clan fled to the Shen family's manor built on the west mountain.

Yan Guo is extremely disfavored to his subordinates.

How strong is Wenjiabao?
Wen's family had four hundred generals, Zhuang Ding had a thousand, plus the manpower provided by the Shen family, the number of people participating in the battle was close to two thousand.

The overall combat power of these 2000 people is not inferior to his Xishan County Army, and they hold many crossbow arrows and defend against the fort.

There are also six sixth-rank fighters and 33 seventh-rank fighters.

But such a powerful force was completely wiped out by Xishantang in just a little more than a moment.

Several sixth ranks, including Yue Wei, were silent at all.

The [-] cavalry who rushed over were massacred with only a little wave at the gate of Wubao.

Wen Jiabao is like this, let alone his Xishan Weijun Army?
After the previous battle of the gorge, the county army under his command at this time is already a mob, and the morale of the army is low.

At this time, there are only 12 seventh-rank martial arts cultivators in the army, so how can we fight against Xishantang?
Yan Guo didn't intend to throw his life here, and he didn't want his brother Pao Ze to die and fill the bottomless pit of Xishan Hall, so he ran away resolutely.

Thousands of households under his command ran away without hesitation as if they had been pardoned.

The strength of this Xishan Hall is unfathomable, and confronting it head-on is definitely not the best strategy.

Those low-level soldiers even dispersed.

Fearing that they would be slow to escape, they threw all kinds of heavy weapons all over the place.

Just as the entire army of Xishan County was disintegrated, another group of troops came to the east of Wubao.

There are about 400 people in total, and all of them are dressed in red. When they marched, they lacked discipline and were in a mess, but their individual strength was very good.

Chu Xisheng glanced over there, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, his expression pleased.

The people over there are the people from Zuo Ya Nei and the [-] martial arts masters from Nanjie Temple City.

Its leader is the female guard next to Zuo Ya Nei.

This girl's name is Sikong Xin, and her cultivation is at the sixth rank. It is said that she was a gold medal killer in the killing building in her early years.When he betrayed the killing building, he was saved by Zuo Qingyun.

She is proficient in assassination techniques, short knives and big spears, and has extremely strong combat power. She was undefeated against Long Heng with a weaker level of cultivation.

The female guard had a strange look on her face. She rode out alone and came to Chu Xisheng.

"Master Chu." Sikong Xin clasped her fists immediately: "I am here to rescue you under the order of Zuoya Nei. He asked me to tell you to be careful of the Seventeenth Chain Pier upstream.

The yamen was trapped in the county yamen and couldn't come in person, but he learned from the elders in the family that the head of the Seventeenth Lianhuanwu, the leader of the Taoist, had already made preparations for a raid downstream. It was a trap set by Shangguan Shenhao and others for you and the Iron Banner Gang—"

When she said this, she glanced at Wenjiawubao in front of her with a complicated expression.

Whether this Wubao is a trap or not is not very important.

This place has been leveled and destroyed by Xishan Hall, and all the Xishan County Army simply fled.

How ridiculous is this trap?
Chu Xi was very happy to hear that.

Not for the four hundred martial artists brought by Si Kongxin, but for Zuo Qingyun's loyalty.

It is estimated that when Si Kongxin led the four hundred martial artists across the river from the ancient market, he only stepped out of Xishan Town.

This is by no means icing on the cake, but a helping hand.

"Seventeen Chain Dock?"

Chu Xisheng squinted his eyes and looked towards the upper reaches of the Shenxiu River.

Then he laughed: "They are trying to put me to death, but it's a pity that my eyes are high and my hands are low, I am not very experienced in fighting, and I have misjudged the strength of my Xishan Hall. This Wenjiabao is like a chicken and a dog. I am Xishan The hall can be wiped out in an instant."

Sikong Xin raised her eyebrows.

I wondered if Shangguan Shenhao and others misestimated Xishan Hall, and many people in the county underestimated Chu Xisheng, including Zuoya Nei's father.

After today's battle, not only Xishan Town, but the entire Xiushui County will change.

Chu Xisheng turned his head again, looking at the four hundred red-robed martial artists under Zuo Qingyun's command.

"It's not easy for brothers to come here, and we can't let them go back empty-handed. How about this, I'm going to raze Yunhe Villa next, and you let them accompany me, how about giving me a strong presence?"

Sikong Xin's expression brightened, and she agreed decisively: "On behalf of the brothers, I would like to thank Hall Master Chu for his love! If the Hall Master needs us in any way, just give an order. The Yamen has already said that after I cross the river, all According to Hallmaster Chu's dispatch."

She has no reason to refuse.

At this moment, the battle in Wenjiabao had already been settled.

Sikong Xin couldn't think of who else would dare to confront Xishan Hall in this land, and who else would have the strength to stop Xishan Hall's military might.

Therefore, Chu Xisheng did not take them to fight, but took them to make a fortune.

A moment later, 700 people from Xishan Hall reorganized their army and joined Sikong Xin with 100 people to march towards Yunhe Villa twelve miles away.

Wherever these thousands of people passed along the way, those country tycoons were silent like cicadas, they all huddled in their own courtyards, not daring to show their heads.

However, Chu Xisheng didn't care about these small fish and shrimps for the time being, and was too lazy to take care of them.

Yunhe Mountain Villa was built on the mountainside at the southern foot of the West Mountain. Although no fort was built, the terrain was very dangerous, and it was also a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There are also 500 Yin Yang family soldiers and [-] Zhuang Ding in this village.

However, Yunhe Dao Yinyang, the owner of Yunhe Villa, and the six [-]th ranks under his command all died in Wenjiabao.

There is no longer any master in this fort.

Chu Xisheng led Sikongxin, Li Shenshan, Wei Yang and others rushed up, and took down Yunhe Villa with ease.

In this battle, they didn't even have any casualties.

All the generals inside Yunhe Villa are panicked, their soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the generals have no fighting spirit.

When there was a war, they all fled to the back mountain, and no one wanted to send their lives to Yunhe Villa.

It's fine if they can hold this place, the key is that they can't hold it even if they risk their lives.

Chu Xisheng's gains here are slightly smaller.

They only released 13 taels of magic silver, 7000 taels of god gold, about 9 taels of various goods and weapons, 15 shi of grain and grass, and 350 hectares that are temporarily difficult to value and cannot be transferred of fertile land.

They stayed here for a full moment, searched Yunhe Villa roughly, and then turned to Zhenbei Dan's house.

The Dan family is the third largest landowner in Xishan Town, owning 480 hectares of land, only inferior to the Shen family and the Wen family.

However, his family is good at management, and has always monopolized the wine business in the town, and also occupies a small iron mine. In fact, his family's wealth is even higher than Wen Tiancai's.

It is said that his patriarch, Dan Chiling, is under the sixth rank and is a master on par with the Yunhe Saber.

This time, the hometown heroes in Xishan joined forces to fight against the tax, but the Dan family did not directly stand on the foreground.

However, Chu Xisheng learned from Wu Meiniang that the Dan family was using their influence to help the Wen family connect with the Shen family.

The big families in Xishan can be so united, and Danju has made great contributions.

So 20 days ago, Chu Xisheng entrusted Zuo Qingyun's official document, which also listed Zhenbei Dan's family.

Chu Xisheng had already made up his mind to wipe out the Dan family.

However, the more than a thousand people under Chu Xisheng's command had just walked halfway when Dan Chiling, the head of the Zhenbei Dan family, led a group of servants and rode to Chu Xisheng's formation.

Dan Chiling is about 40 years old, with a graceful bearing and a dignified appearance.

But this person was naked from the upper body, carrying a large bundle of thorns.

After he dismounted, he knelt down directly in front of Chu Xisheng.

"Earlier, Dan traveled far away and had no time to take care of family affairs. Today Dan came back, only to find out that the rebellious son and evil slave in the family were bewitched by Wen Tiancai, and they conspired with Wen's family to refuse taxes and fight against the court's laws. Dan won After I found out, I came here to plead guilty, and I also ask Lord Chu to forgive my family for the crime of disrespect!"

Chu Xisheng's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold.

Why travel far away and come back today, this guy is cheating ghosts!

And if the Dan family is forgiven, he won't be able to get back his money!

The 34 taels he borrowed before, but thirteen times out of nine.

That is, he borrowed 34 taels, and the need is nearly 50.

At this time, the gold and silver he collected from Wen's family and Yunhe Villa were only about 50 taels, which was just enough to pay off the debt.

In addition, he has to bear all the taxes.

Besides, the brothers in the hall have put forth all their efforts, how can he, the hall master, let them get nothing?
Dan Chiling peeped at Chu Xisheng's face, and his heart sank slightly: "Master Chu, the Dan family is willing to pay the full amount of this year's spring gift and poll tax. In addition, Dan is willing to pay an additional 10 yuan in compensation. Two pieces of magic silver, fifty thousand shi of rice, to make amends to the hall master. In addition, Dan is willing to make an oath, from now on, my family is willing to follow the hall master Chu as the leader, and obey the order."

Chu Xisheng's face looked a little better.

However, his eyes were still full of coldness: "About twelve days ago, I sent my accountant to collect taxes in the north of the town. But he was held hostage by a group of masked men, who not only whipped them in public, but also poured urine and shit on them. Do you know who did this?"

"It's my rebellious son who made such a stupid thing."

Dan Chiling suddenly stood up, strode to the crowd behind him, and forcibly dragged a young man whose hands and feet were bound and whose mouth was stuffed with a towel, off the horse.

He dragged the man directly in front of Chu Xisheng, then raised his knife and cut off the young man's limbs.In the end, he stabbed the young man's dantian with another knife, which directly abolished his eighth-rank cultivation base.

"There are also five evil slaves, including my Dan's outer hall steward."

Dan Chiling turned his head sideways. At this time, in the cavalry behind him, there were also five people who were tied up like rice dumplings, and they were dragged down by a group of generals.

These generals were also extremely ruthless, beheading these people very neatly.

Dan Chiling looked serious: "Dan is willing to make an apology to your accountant in person, and also offer a thousand taels of magic silver as an apology."

Chu Xisheng was secretly surprised, thinking that this Patriarch of the Dan family is really a ruthless person.

My own son cut off his hands and feet without saying a word, and his cultivation base was abolished.

At this time, Lu Pingyuan leaned into Chu Xisheng's ear and whispered: "This is his son Danwei, whose mother is Wen Tiancai's younger sister. It is said that the couple has always been at odds. An adulterous affair, Dan Wei may not be his own son. In addition, this man has five concubine sons, each of whom is better than the other, all of them are young and have seven ranks of cultivation."

The implication is that Dan Chiling has been cuckolded and has no shortage of sons.

After the Wen family was destroyed, this son-in-law had no value.

Dan Chiling smiled wryly at this time, with a humble and respectful expression, he clasped his fists together: "Maybe Master Chu thinks that Dan is cruel and cold-hearted, but Dan knows that if he doesn't do this, our Dan family and this child's life will not be saved." .

Dan has a relationship in the county, and he knows that Hall Master Chu has obtained the documents to confiscate my Dan family property and seize all the males.Dan's rural family didn't know real people before, nor did they know the power of Xishantang.Now that I sincerely repent, Dan please ask Hall Master Chu Haihan! "

Chu Xisheng's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.

The income from razing Dan's family must exceed the 10 taels of magic silver and [-] shi of rice that Dan Chiling paid.

And he was very worried about Dan Chiling.

This reminded him of Shangguan Shenhao.

The problem is that this person has even done such things as pleading guilty, and even cut off the hands and feet of his own fake son.

If he persisted and insisted on leveling the Dan family, he would be criticized by countless people in Dongzhou, and his spine would be stabbed.

Hun Jianghu must be ruthless, but not just ruthless, but also has a good reputation.

Unless you can subdue the world with one person and one knife like Lord Xue Yadao, you can't ignore people's hearts.

Chu Xisheng was weighing whether it would be more cost-effective to cut off Dan's scourge first, or take it slowly.

At this time, Chu Yunyun squinted her eyes, and came over via voice transmission: "This person is at the fifth rank, and he hides his secrets. Lu Luanli may not be his opponent now. Among the people behind him, there are four sixth ranks and one fifth rank." In terms of quality, these people are all practicing advanced martial arts. The hidden strength of the Dan family is ten times that of the Wen family. Besides—"

Chu Yunyun's voice was calm: "I can still smell the breath of the demon clan, they are probably half-monsters."

Chu Xi was taken aback when he heard the words.

He was surprised, the Dan family is so powerful, why should they bow their heads to him to plead guilty?
Then he realized that the members of the Dan family might not see the light.

They must be unwilling to expose their own strength for some reason.

The identity of the Dan family may be very problematic, just like their brothers and sisters.

And this matter is mostly related to their half-demon blood.

Chu Xisheng thought for a moment, and there was a playful look in his eyes.Then he kept his composure, looked down at Dan Chiling from his horse, and said coldly: "10 taels is too little. If you destroy your Dan family, my harvest from Xishantang is far more than that. Within one day, you will 13 taels of magic silver was sent to Xishan Hall."

Chu Yunyun was able to kill Dan Chiling and that fifth-rank martial artist with one punch, but it would leave a lot of trouble.

The next attack on Dan's family will inevitably cost a lot of casualties, which is unnecessary.

His current cultivation base is increasing day by day, and it has only been two years since he entered the list of famous heroes.

In just another year or so, Xishantang will have the strength to suppress the Dan family.

If Dan Chiling dared to jump back, he could wipe it out by raising his hand.

So you might as well agree first and watch Dan's behavior.

If they have both ends, or even ulterior motives, it won't be too late to get rid of them.

Dan Chiling frowned slightly.

13 million taels?
His heart ached, but he still gritted his teeth: "Dan accepts the punishment!"

Chu Xisheng nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied: "Also, would Brother Dan be willing to submit to an altar master in my house? If Your Excellency is willing, then the Dan family will also be a member of my Xishan Hall from now on. draw."

Dan Chiling's face darkened, knowing that Chu Xisheng wanted to establish a real master-slave status.

He was full of reluctance, but he noticed that Chu Xisheng was pressing his waist knife.

Dan Chiling cursed secretly.

With the overall strength of the Dan family, they are not afraid of Xishantang.

But once a fight broke out, the foundation of their family would definitely be exposed to the eyes of the county government and Jin Yiwei.

This is a price their family cannot afford.

The key is that Dan Chiling dare not gamble.

The young man in front of him is in the prime of his blood, and he has just destroyed the Xishan Hall, and his soldiers are sharp and defiant.

Once he refused, Chu Xisheng would definitely lose his face.It's over if they fight, and their family's foundation in Xishan, which has been run for hundreds of years, will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Dan Chiling couldn't help but secretly sighed, wondering what is this called?

Originally thought that Shangguan Shenhao and the others were well-planned and thoughtful.They mobilized all forces and spared no effort to crush it, absolutely foolproof.

This Xishan hall is only two seventh-rank, plus a Qingyun sixty Chu Xisheng, how can it resist the momentum of these few families?
The canal shares promised by the Shangguan family and the Shen family are also exciting.

So he pretended not to know, and let his own evil son do what he wanted.

Who would have thought that Xishan Hall could wipe out Wenjiabao in two quarters?
It's all right now, I didn't get a sip of soup, but it put Dan's family in such an embarrassing situation.

If he knew this earlier, he would definitely not let the Dan family participate in it.

Dan Chiling pondered for a while, then said helplessly, "Dan is willing."

Today, let's make false claims first, agree to it, and then find a way to get out later.

"Okay!" Chu Xi laughed loudly, thinking that there was another second or fifth son who was hiding in the hall of her house.

Another day I have to find out about the origins of the Dan family, as well as their followers behind the scenes, so as to know ourselves and our enemies.

"Master Dantan, your family will send another six hundred troops to help in the battle later, follow me to wipe out those bandits in the Western Mountains, I want elites."

Chu Xisheng already regarded Dan Chiling as his subordinate, he turned his head to look at Lu Pingyuan: "Where are the thieves from Jiudaowu and Baiyunzhai?"

"It's just 27 miles west of the town." Lu Pingyuan bowed and bowed, becoming more respectful: "They should have heard the news that the hall master smashed Wenjiabao and defeated the Xishan County Army, so they stopped their troops there and robbed everywhere. They plundered several surrounding villages and rich families. As of half a quarter ago, a large family has already been attacked by them, and the whole family was killed."

Chu Xisheng couldn't help laughing.

Thinking about these Xishan countrymen, they are simply luring wolves into the house.

However, as the township official of Xishan Town, he couldn't sit idly by.

Those big families died unjustly, but the local common people were very innocent.

"Pass down the order, and all the brothers will go westward at full speed. Also, let some rangers go out, order all the big households along the way, order them to come out to help in the battle, and drive out those Xishan bandits. It is not my family's business. Every family needs to come out People contribute."

Chu Xisheng thought for a while, then sneered and said, "Ruoxi, take all the men from the Wen family and the Yin family back, hang them up at the gate of the west city, and then order all township tyrants with more than [-] acres of land in the town Big households, let them bring all the taxes for this year, plus a [-]% late payment penalty, and rush to Xishan Town before sunset today. Tell them, if they don’t come before sunset, they don’t need to use it.”

In fact, Liu Ruoxi wanted to follow Chu Xisheng to fight.

However, her admiration for Chu Xisheng was deep in her bones, and she agreed without hesitation.

Just when Chu Xisheng was about to wipe out the Xishan bandits in one fell swoop, the Xiangxiang Pavilion in the backyard of Shangguan's house was deadly silent.
