Domineering

Chapter 221 Wei (for subscription)
After nightfall, [-] torches were lit on the official road on the south side of Xishan Town, like a winding fire snake, heading towards Xiushui County.

Chu Yunyun originally expected to gather 2000 people, but after nightfall, the number of people gathered on the south side of Xishan Town far exceeded this number.

Not only were many rich and powerful families in Xishan Town awed and gave away all their family assets, but even many forces wandering around the periphery of Xishan Town consciously sent their courtyard guards, martial arts practitioners and family soldiers.

At this time, an hour had passed since the battle at Black Bear Mountain ended.

Xishan Hall almost wiped out the army of Xiushui County at the southern foot of Heixiong Mountain, and the news that the Dan family defeated Xishan bandits in Ghost Cry Gorge has spread throughout Xiushui County.

All the well-informed people in Xishan Town have already heard about this matter, and they all realize that the overall situation of Xishan Town has been settled, and Xiushui has changed.

After this battle, the Xishan Hall of the Iron Banner Gang will not only be the overlord of the entire Xishan Town, but also cover the northern part of Xiushui County and a small half of Xishan.

In the next ten years, if there are no major changes, Xishan Hall will become the largest power in the rivers and lakes in the northern part of Xiushui County.

Chu Xisheng, the master of Xishan Hall, will also be one of the few powerful figures in Xiushui County.All township tycoons, merchants, escort agencies, caravans, salt dealers, etc. living in the northern border of Xiushui need to look up to them.

If they don't express their respect to Xishan Town, they may never have the opportunity to express their respect again.

So even after nightfall, teams of warriors came uninvited with torches and rushed to the gathering place designated by Chu Yunyun.

Chu Xisheng and Lu Pingyuan finally counted 700 people.

And they are all well-equipped, well-cultivated, strong and strong men.

Among them, the armor rate exceeded [-]%, the armor rate exceeded [-] collars, and the armor rate even exceeded some frontier troops.

That is mainly the contribution of Xishantang.

There are 700 people in Xishan Hall, and everyone wears armor.

These hunters are also all wearing leather armor.

The hunters in the Western Mountains would find a way to make a leather armor for themselves if they spared their lives.Moreover, they are all made of excellent materials and low quality, and their defense capabilities far exceed the standard leather armor of the county army and frontier army.

Xishantang also seized a small amount of weapons in Baixiong Mountain.

Si Shubo distributed all the swords, guns and armor that were still in good condition, and almost all the Xishan Gang members and hunters were armed to the teeth.

The local Xiaohu Xianghao in Xishan Town also took out all his military equipment, and there were not a hundred of them in the iron armor.

When the more than [-] people marched along the official road to Xiusi Shucheng, all the villages along the way closed their doors, and all the caravans retreated to both sides of the official road.

The eight gate arresters and county soldiers patrolling under the official road also more consciously moved out of the way.

We were all pale, and watched the soldiers and Orion retreat behind us with apprehension.

The so-called tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have borders and borders.

The more than [-] troops organized by Xishantang retreated on the official road like a long dragon.

From the back team to the front team, spread out a full length.We stood by the road and waited, and it took a full moment to see the end of the small army.

In order to compensate Zhou Liangchen, Liu Ruoxi appointed Zhou Liangchen to command the rear army, and drove the [-] township Hao Huyuan to retreat behind the small army.

Zhou Liangchen was quite excited when it was over.

I'm fairly calm, but after all, I've been young for many years
When Zhou Liangchen was young, he never had the dream of joining the army and leading a small army across the battlefield.

At this time, Zhou Liangchen cherished the opportunity to command thousands of troops.

But I soon became disappointed, because the small army of Xishan Hall headed south, all the way to the top of Xiuweiyang city wall, there was no obstruction.

Someone was stupid enough to use the mantis' arms as a car to stop Xishantang's small army.

Even if Zhou Liangchen led people to sweep the eight manors of the Xiaguan family and the Shen family, there would be no changes in these aristocratic families in the inner city of Xiushui.

Therefore, when there were 7000 people in Xishan Hall, Chen Bing was in Xiuwei Yang Beicheng Bawaili.

Zhou Liangchen crossed her arms and looked at the city wall behind with great disappointment, especially the people at the gate tower where she was looking down to the north.

——Those small families who show off Wei Yang actually have a bit of backbone.

Zhou Liangchen knew that he was at the front of the battle formation, and Longheng was evaluating me.

The tone of the captain of the post-Shence capital was slightly admirable: "When marching without rules, it seems that I have learned it carefully. I heard that the Linhai boat family also produced several eighth-rank young generals. It should be learned from my family. origin."

Li Shenshan smirked slightly: "It looks similar, but it looks good. If it is placed in the north, someone will charge with hundreds of cavalry, and I will be in a hurry."

Long Heng couldn't help laughing, the 1000 people led by Zhou Liangchen were originally a mob.I was able to lead it like that, and I was already weaker than the thousands of households in the local county army.

This kid only needs to hone in the army for a while and accumulate some experience. It will be a problem for Wanhu to become a frontier soldier in the northern army around [-], and he is much weaker than me and Li Shenshan.

What's more, our Xishantang is just a Jianghu gang, and they want to rebel.

With the level of Xishan Tangmu, it is more than enough to deal with the martial arts in the rivers and lakes. We can even compete head-on with the local county army, but we can ask for too little.

Thinking of the word 'rebellion', Long Heng looked at the north without thinking.

It was Zhishui Canglang and Gong Yougou, the two lieutenants, when would they raise the flag of rebellion?
When will we be able to avenge the Tyrant Martial King and the brothers who died in Luofeng Mountain?

While the two were discussing, Liu Ruoxi was talking with Lin Shiling, the Patriarch of the Dan family.

"I heard that in today's battle at Ghost Cry Gorge, there was no green smoke covering the battlefield, and two mysterious half-demon weaklings appeared, killing the master of Four Knife Pier 'Jing Hong Dao' Xia Qingtian and the master of Baiyun Village, Meng Yunshan, to help them Hit the bandits?"

When Lin Shiling heard that question, his scalp felt numb and his whole head ached.

That's why I've been making excuses and procrastinating until now.

Lin Shiling expected that Liu Ruoxi would ask about this matter, but he knew how to answer it.

But I have to face that problem sooner or later. It is the so-called stretching the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, hiding is opening.

Lin Shiling tried hard to open his eyes, and looked at Liu Ruoxi: "You are too vague about this matter. Suddenly there was no puff of green smoke covering the battlefield. You felt very strange, restraining your subordinates to stick to the stone fort. Then you heard the tragic scene inside. There was a lot of shouting, what are we still shouting about, the seven masters and the eight masters died in battle, you know the truth and are at a loss.

But when the green smoke dissipated, all the Xishan thieves dispersed.It was only half an hour before the battle that you heard that there were no two half-demon martial cultivators at that time, Xia Qingtian and Meng Yunshan both died in our hands.It's strange that you cleaned the battlefield beforehand, but found our bodies, so you know the rumors are true or not—"

I spoke nonsense with my eyes open, but my tone was more sincere and sincere.

Liu Ruoxi's heart is like a mirror, she knows what's going on.

You slightly raised the corners of your lips, watching Si Shuling's performance with a bit of teasing.

It was Lu Luanli who was standing next to Liu Ruoxi, but his face was solemn and thoughtless.

Lu Luanli thought of Shen Yunxiang and Yue Wei.

Before Tie Xiaosheng's first battle, it was rumored that Shen Yunxiang and Yue Wei, the two eighth-rank martial artists, also retired to Tie Xiaosheng, and they lived to see people die or corpses.

The problem is that Lu Luanli is sure that during this battle, he has not met those two people from the beginning to the end.

Could it be that, in that Xishan hall, there are other seventh-rank low hands hidden?
In front of Lu Luanli, Xiang Kui and Wang Zhen looked at each other in dismay.

We were all secretly surprised, thinking that the water outside the Xishan Hall was deeper than we imagined.

"I see!"

Si Shubo rested his chin in his hands, and fell into deep thought: "In this way, the situation is quite similar to that of Tie Xiaosheng. The inexplicable smoke is a low hand who knows his identity, and there is no such thing as seeing people die. It’s an eighth-rank martial artist who saw a dead body. Do you really know who it is, who is willing to help you at Xishantang?”

After Shui Junjun left, he analyzed that matter with you in detail.

Si Shubo thinks that if Lin Shiling is willing to deal with it, then we'd better pretend to be sober, and we need to point it out.

The background of the Dan family is mysterious. Our family is weak, but dormant in the countryside of Xishan. It is obvious that the mountain is leaking. There must be no reason for it, and it may involve very small troubles.

So debunking the identity of the Dan family will do us no good at all.

The corners of Lu Luanli's lips twitched slightly when he heard the words: "That's right, Tie Xiaosheng's battle was so strange. You were on guard against Wen Tiancai and Yunhe Dao Yinyang at that time, but neither of them showed up. At first, I thought We ran away, maybe we died at the hands of a half-demon martial artist."

You secretly gave Liu Ruoxi a little thumb.

Sister Chu's tone is still very tight, and she has never revealed your identity.

It's all over now, no one will take the blame for you, these two half-demons and weaklings are really good people.

Lin Shiling smiled wryly in his heart, as if he was being forgiven.

However, I have always used my true energy to control the expression on my face, and I said emotionally: "That's right! If the rumors are true, then your family should really feel deeply for those two half-demon righteous men. If it weren't for us , your Dan family will suffer heavy casualties."

Before Liu Ruoxi heard this, she smiled, and you could tell that Si Shuling meant nothing else.

If it was the "half-demon righteous man" who made the move, the Dan family would suffer heavy casualties, and that would be blaming Xishantang for saving——

Liu Ruoxi shook her head, and continued to look towards the city with great concern.

Chu Xisheng frowned slightly.

The brothers and sisters of the Chu family have no small favors for you, and you are as good as anyone who speaks to us.

Chu Xisheng held the mandarin duck knife at his waist, and looked at Lin Shiling enthusiastically: "The elder sister has sent an order to him, telling them to try their best to keep the trebuchets of the bandits close to the city wall. As long as you can stick to the two At that time, your Xishantang small army can copy the way of the thieves and bandits.

But as far as you know, after the green smoke filled the air, their Dan family only knew how to hide in the stone fortress, and hit the inside with arrows.And your Xishan Hall also took two hours, and you added the time of traveling, and you only took one hour or less to defeat the enemy.They gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of their own sarcasm, and dare to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, and satirize your eldest sister?If you want face? "

It was the information obtained by Lu Pingyuan, and Chu Xisheng could hear it clearly.

Lin Shiling was blushing.

Thinking that that man has such a sharp mouth, his words are too straightforward, and it's too much face for others!

※※※※

At the same time, in the gate tower of Xiuweiyang North City.

The county's Tieqi gang, Xiaguan Shenhao and Si Shu all had expressions on their faces. She looked at the small army of Xishantang on the north side of the city wall with an ugly expression.

On top of the eight thousand torches was a mass of white human heads.

Our iron armor and swords all reflected red light in the torchlight.These [-] crossbows of various types and [-] hunting bows gave us a very small sense of oppression.

With or without a trace of blood under Tie Banner's face, he looked like a dead person.

As early as an hour later, I had already learned that Xiuwei Yang's army had suffered a small defeat on Baixiong Mountain, and the loss of troops would reach 1000.

It made the back of my eyes go white, my chest throbbed, and it made it easier to breathe.

Si Shu already knew how to face the situation in front of him.

If the Xiuwei Yang army only loses 2000 people, I can use my authority to cover it up; even if 7000 people are killed or injured, I can handle it.The only thing to do is to reduce the loss of financial resources, supplement equipment for the county army, and recruit additional soldiers.

But the casualties that time were as low as one thousand!
Once this matter is learned by the subordinates, Tie Banner knows that no matter how much he can reach the sky, no matter how he can dredge the relationship, it will be difficult to secure his current position as a county lieutenant.

Being demoted is a rare event.

What made things worse was the rise of Xishantang. The Shen family's business owners were all located in the northwest of Xiuweiyang City, which was the coverage area of ​​Xishantang.

Now that the foundation of Xishan Hall is solid, with the control of Xishan, the Shen family can't do any business in the north, and even these farms may not be able to operate abnormally.

For the Shen family, it was also a very small piece of bad news.

Si Shu didn't even have the idea of ​​sacrificing everything and summoning the Shen family's soldiers and generals to fight Xishantang to the death.

But I know that idea is stupid.

At this time, the Shen family can only mobilize at least [-] soldiers, and [-] Zhuang Ding Qingzhuang; behind the [-] gangs and [-] sets of bows and knives in Xishan Hall, it is like hitting a stone with an egg.

Even if Xialong's family and Xiaguan's family are added together, they may not be able to enter Xishan hall.

The strength of our eight families is enough, but the morale of Xishantang is extremely high, and the soldiers are sharp, it is best to fight the front.

It is estimated that Danchi and Xiaguan Shenhao will also go crazy with me.

Our family soldiers and generals are all fed with money, how dare the seven dare to fight again?Consume your own strength?

What Tie Banner wants to do most at this moment is to catch the eight commanders of the rout army.

Those eight trash, how were we so stupid that we lost a thousand county troops on White Bear Mountain?

In front of Tie Qi, Xia Guan Shen Hao and Si Shu also had pale faces, each muttering to himself.

——Xishantang actually won!

——Xishan's [-] bows and knives are so sharp!
——The Dan family actually guarded Guiku Gorge?
——The Xishan bandits were defeated, and the masters of Baiyunzhai and Sidaowu, who had troubled Xishan for nearly ten years, died in Ghost Cry Gorge?

——The Iron Banner Gang of the county is about to resign, with or without the help of the county army, and with or without the coercion of bandits, how should we suppress the Xishan Hall, and how should we contain the Sishu Gang?
——We have been able to prevent Xishantang from digging a canal. The Shuijun Army won the financial resources of the canal, and also won the [-] hunters to join forces. At that time, the wealth will be small, how can we fight against it?

Countless messy thoughts were generated outside our minds, which made the two of us feel oppressed and upset.

The eight families carefully planned for today's battle for nearly [-] days, but they lost everything.

Not only were we able to overthrow Xishantang, but we also made Xishantang completely lose its grip and shocked the north of the county with our military power.

A long time ago, Tie Banner finally came back to his senses, and looked into the city wall again: "It is said that the person in charge of Xishan Hall is this Liu Ruoxi, a fourth-grade martial artist, you may be able to kill this man with your joint efforts! "

Dan Chi frowned and spoke, I had a glimpse of Si Shu's sinister intentions, but limited by my status, I spoke bluntly.

Xiaguan Shenhao shook his head slightly: "There are no two half-demons with seventh-rank combat power in Xishan Hall, and their combat power is extremely weak. And since the end of this morning, Tie Kuangren has personally sat at the east pier of the city. It is said that I have come to her to kill her." Seventy water bandits were killed, and the divine power of the 'Iron Blood Buddha' was aroused.

And killing this man is also useful. Xishantang is rooted in the Shuijun army. As long as the Shuijun army is dead, Xishantang may collapse.This move will only anger Si Shubo and force me to fight you to the death. "

Tie Banner's eyes flickered, and then returned to fierceness.

It is the purpose of Iron Banner to anger the Shuijun army and attack our eight families with all their strength.

Only in this way can the officials Shen Hao and Si Shu be forced to fully assist the Shen family and fight Xishantang.

However, I only heard the words of Xiaguan Shenhao, and I knew that the idea might succeed.

"Brother Shen, don't worry!" Xiaguan Shenhao's face was serious: "Although the situation in front of us is difficult, there is no way to deal with it. There is no position for Brother Shen, you must keep it no matter what. The loss of Ying, and the cost of dredging the relationship, the Xiaguan family and the Long family can help him bear half of it. As for the details of the answer, you can discuss it later when you return home."

Dan Chi's instinct is nothing more than willingness.

Xiusi Shu Jun lost a full 1000 people!

How should the loss be filled?Including the cost of clearing up the relationship, 800 million magic silver is too much, how much does our Long family have to pay?
Si Shu moved forward but suppressed his emotions, with or without the help of the county army, and with or without the power in the hands of the county Iron Banner Gang, our eight families could even maintain a balance of power with the Xiao Chu Gang.

At this moment, Dan Chi's expression changed suddenly, and he looked towards a figure who was approaching from the sky.

This is a middle-aged woman with no cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.I am of medium build, wearing a seventh-rank official robe.

This person came from the night sky, and landed under the flagpole at the top of the city, looking at the nearby Xishantang Xiaojun, muttering.

Danchi recognized this person at first sight, it was Sikong Chan, the prefect of this county!

I raised my eyebrows slightly, and then looked at the two people beside me.

In the eyes of the eight people, there is a little bit of strangeness and hope in the same way.

At the same time, Wei Shenzhou, the head of Xiao Chu's gang, let out a small smile: "You only thought that Da Chu was a hero for many years! But today, it seems that my sister is not a mortal. It’s really beautiful, it’s because of Dachu that I dare to worry about going north to the capital.”

I sighed with emotion: "It was that time when Da Chu came back from the capital, you still had to pour me a drink, but that time really made you sweat for my Xishantang."

Naturally, there is something to say about the fact that the Shui County Army escorted You's father and son into Beijing.

Anyone who knows will say admiration and praise for their loyalty.

Inside the Xiaochu Gang, everyone praised and admired the character of the Shuijun Army.

It was the situation that Xishantang faced before the troops of Guoshui County left, but it made Wei Shenzhou sleep well for a few days, and he was really frightened for a while.

Can Wei Shenzhou get that holiday back.

Tie Kuangren was also amazed: "This Si Shubo, when you first saw him, you felt that he was extraordinary. But you can't imagine that you are so old, so amazing. This man's talent is enough to support the gate of Xishan Hall, and he can be abnormal. Men look at it."

I laughed heavily at the same time: "However, Xishan's small victory today is better than the great Chu's ability to strategize and strategize ten days later. Since then, Xishan Hall has [-] sets of bows and knives, all of which are within reach. That time I have another little surprise for you."

'Pine Wind Sword' Si Shu frowned slightly: "You are only worried about this seventh-rank monster martial artist, whose identity and purpose are unknown, so it's safe to defend. You don't have the strength of Xishantang yet, in the future your Si Shu There may be no worries about imbalance."

Actually, I want to split Xishantang even more——

However, the Xiaochu Gang has never had such rules.

If the chief rudder directly seized the gang members and property of Xishantang, the seventeen inner halls of such a small Chu gang would not have more than a thousand ship owners subordinate to the Xiaochu gang, and the hearts of the people would be lost immediately.

Shen Zhou expected that Madman Tie would agree, so he didn't even bother to mention it.

Tie Kuangren really laughed: "That said, Da Chu and Xishan Hall are your wings, you wish you had as few people as Da Chu in your gang, otherwise the better, otherwise when will you be able to start from Xiu Wei Yang?" Pulled out of that quagmire? What's more, Da Chu is a man, as I escorted the You family and his son out of Beijing this time, it can be seen."

Shen Zhou was speechless.

Those of us who are in the rivers and lakes all value loyalty.

A character like that of Shui Junjun is the most hated by people.

In terms of influence, even Xishantang's small victory in Baixiong Mountain was the trip to the capital of the Jishui Army.

Today Xiu Sishu's people in the world are all proud of the Shuijun Army.Now before we go to dinner, we will mention the Shuijun Army, talk about my deeds, and praise my character.

Countless young people in this county regard him as a role model, and wish they had to join Xishan Hall to serve the hero of the Shuijun Army.

If it was said that such a person harbored evil intentions, Shen Zhou himself would believe it.

Tie Kuangren turned his head to look at Wei Shenzhou again: "Xishantang sent troops to Xiushui to help you deter the county. This boy is shrewd and has seen the predicament of your Sishu gang. You are trying to brush off your kindness. A little while ago, he led Xuanfengtang and your little Chutang to attack downstream, and then fought with Eleven Lianhuanwu."

The last time our Little Chu Gang defeated the Eleven Lianhuanwu, but failed to seriously damage its roots.

That family has a profound influence in Xunyang County for more than ten years, and its leader Daoxing is also a hero.

Before this small battle, Eleven Lianhuanwu changed its strategy, and we are trying to fight the Xiaochu gang again.

Instead, we took advantage of our manpower to continue the commotion, piecemeal, and we used slow boats to go south along the water to rob the merchant ships of the Sishu Gang.

The Sishu gang has been restrained in Xiuwei Yangcheng because the main force of the gang has been restrained, and there has been nothing to do.

We seem to be expanding our borders, but we are actually in a very difficult situation.

Before today, the situation will change slightly, and the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed.

"Okay! You go there then."

Wei Shenzhou responded straightforwardly, and I laughed hotly: "You have to catch a bunch of these bastards from Eleven Lianhuanwu that time, chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"
