Chapter 1381 Naval Battle (4)

When everyone couldn't help complaining, Mod suddenly laughed: "Haha, this is a good opportunity, I guess Mingyue City hasn't received the news that their young master has died, and I'm afraid they are still waiting for their partners to come shopping Well, the lord is coming in surprise now, and he will definitely catch them by surprise.

"And don't forget about the rogues in Mingyue City. As long as we ask the lord to issue the order "As long as you perform meritorious service, you can become a retainer of the new city lord", I am afraid that all the rogues will participate in the attack."

Hearing Moder's analysis, the morale of Moder's subordinates immediately boiled, and the worries about the huge gap between the enemy and our troops just now completely disappeared.

Maude is worthy of being the leader, and immediately began to issue orders: "You, go to Nangong's house to report the situation immediately, laugh at this guy Nangong Dun, and ask him what he is doing when we are working hard here.

"Hey, if I'm not afraid that the lord will blame me, I really don't want to remind him, because if I make great achievements, maybe the new city lord will be me."

Hearing this, Maud's subordinates froze for a moment, and then their eyes lit up immediately.

Of course they knew that external forces were not allowed to intervene on the surface of the southeast peninsula, but everyone knew that many city lords were the spokespersons of external forces.

If the boss of the family is appointed as the city lord by the lord, wouldn't he also rise with the tide!

Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, especially the one who was sent to inform the Nangong family, Moder immediately said seriously: "Don't think of crooked ways! If you deliberately play tricks, before the lord punishes me, I will kill you first! As long as we do things honestly and make great contributions, will the lord still treat us badly?

"So don't think about other things, as long as your boss and I have more credit than others, can the position of city lord belong to others?"

Seeing that his subordinates recovered, Moder continued to issue orders: "Go to inquire about the intelligence of the navy, you go to inquire about the information in the city, and you go and secretly spread the news that the lord is willing to recruit retainers. Don't make a big fuss, just let the bosses know That's fine.

"Also, you immediately recruit people to lurk near the city gate! Quick! Act now!" After Maud's men left quickly, Maud came to the tavern owner with a smile.

The tavern owner shivered, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Lord Maud, what orders do you have?"

"Boss, did you understand what my brothers and I said just now? Has the news spread to the city?" Maude said with a smile, and the rest of his subordinates immediately surrounded the boss after hearing the words. live.

The boss hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Boss Maude, I don't know what you are talking about. I have nothing to do with the city. Think about it, if it does, would I still be the boss here? I have already set up a shop in the city!"

Maude smiled: "If you didn't show heroic blood, I wouldn't think you have anything to do with the city.

"But you took out the hero's blood, and there are so many bottles, and I just know that the hero's blood is just imported from the Liberty Alliance in the city. Now the city hasn't started selling it yet, but you already have it here. You wouldn't say that you, a pier tavern owner, are eligible for the quota of this wine?"

"I..." The boss saw that Mo De and the others had shown fierce eyes, and said pitifully: "Boss Ma De, even if I have something to do with the city, I didn't spread the news, please let me go." Is it? As long as you don't kill me, you can lock me up!"

Maude shook his head: "I don't have this spare time, but if you are useful to my lord..."

The boss, who was startled by Maude's previous sentence, immediately said: "It's useful, I know that all the bosses of the pier taverns are the confidantes of the city lord!"

Maude suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder no bandit rebellion succeeded." Speaking of this, he waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately stabbed the weapon into the boss's body.

Looking at the boss's unbelievable expression, Maud smiled and said, "I'm sorry, if you don't say that all the tavern owners are the confidantes of the city lord, then I won't kill you."

"Send someone to pay attention to the owner of the tavern on the pier. If there is any movement from them, kill them immediately. You guys stay behind to deal with the aftermath." When leaving the tavern, Maud issued such an order to his subordinates.

But Maude didn't know that as soon as he walked away, he left behind the men responsible for the aftermath. Because of the instinct of killing people and setting fire to destroy corpses and traces, they immediately set the tavern on fire habitually.

More than [-] kilometers inland from Mingyue City, there is a cottage in the mountainous area with blurred power boundaries.

In the mountains of the southeastern peninsula, such cottages emerge in endlessly.

For the local forces, such cottages are subordinate local tyrants who listen to the propaganda and don't listen to the tune, and some powerful cottages even throw away the superficial affiliation relationship, and directly show that the chariots and horses are competing with the local forces.The result is either annihilation or a confrontation. Of course, occasionally there will be people who are lucky enough to enter the main city from the cottage.

This cottage is not affiliated with Mingyue City, but like many powerful cottages, it confronts Mingyue City.

At this moment, in the main hall of the cottage, Nangong Dun was kneeling on the ground, and opposite him were five elderly men who were also kneeling.

"Elders, I don't understand why you don't agree to my request, but instead give the secret guards to the Mingyue City Lord. You must know that the Mingyue City Lord is an obstacle to the rise of my Nangong family!" Nangong Dun said through gritted teeth.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was the elder of the family, I'm afraid he would have yelled at him long ago.

At the beginning, I risked my life and went out to find a backer. I finally found it. When I came back, I found that the family had already taken refuge in the enemy. This situation did not make Nangong Dun vomit blood directly. Nangong Dun had a strong psychological endurance.

"Patriarch, the times have changed. If our Nangong family wants to rise, we can only rely on the powerful, and if the powerful accept us, we can only send out secret guards. Although we understand your feelings, but..." the elder in the middle Said in a faint tone.

Nan Gongdun couldn't help but interrupted: "Since you all understand this, why did you seek refuge in Mingyue City? Didn't I say that I would find a backer?"

"Patriarch Dun! Your so-called backer is the major of the Augustus Empire? The major whose territory is in the wilderness area? Hehe, to tell you the truth, if you hadn't found such a backer, our elders would not have decided to join Mingyue City !” said the second elder coldly.

"Patriarch Dun, don't say that our elders will reject your proposal, think about it, even if a little major from outside supports us with all his strength, where can he support us.

It's different to seek refuge with the Lord of the Mingyue City. The Lord of the Mingyue City has promised us that as long as the secret guards are sent, the land within a radius of a hundred miles will be completely designated as our fiefdom.As long as we annex the nearby cottages, it will not be difficult for the Nangong family to rise again. "The third elder said excitedly.

Nan Gongdun asked dumbfoundedly: "Didn't you guys read my report? Although he holds the rank of major, his strength is no worse than that of Mingyue City Lord."

"Patriarch Dun, we have read all the reports, but we don't believe the information above. How can a major have thousands of cavalry? You must know that such a major is just a banner on our side." The fourth elder sneered.

Nangong Dun was shocked. The elders did not believe the Patriarch's report. Although the report seemed untrue, it was concluded that it was false without even asking. What does this mean?
"Has the secret guard been sent out?" Nangong Dun asked suddenly.

"No, the ceremony of taking refuge in Mingyue City still needs to be carried out by the Patriarch. We have already sent a letter to Mingyue City about the return of the Patriarch. I believe that the envoys from Mingyue City will arrive in a day or two. Please make preparations for the Patriarch." said the elder.

Atsushi Nangong was also polite, got up and left here directly.

After Nangong Dun left, the Fifth Elder, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "The Patriarch has a big opinion on us."

"Hehe, which patriarch would have no objection to our elders' council? But it's no wonder why we all failed to compete for patriarch." The second elder laughed.

"If the Patriarch knew what we were going to do, he would probably be furious?" The third elder laughed.

"Whatever, anyway, as long as the secret guard is given to the Mingyue City Lord, each of us will get a large piece of land, and it doesn't matter if the elder is there or not.

"And if it wasn't for the elders and the Patriarch to issue orders at the same time, the secret guards would listen. I wouldn't bother to pay attention to any Patriarch." The Fourth Elder said indifferently.

"Yes, such fertile land is enough for us to live a good life, so we don't have to work for the Nangong family day and night." The fifth elder said expectantly.

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Although I feel a little sorry for the Nangong family, we can't blame us. Why can't the rights of the elders be passed on to the next generation?"

The second elder immediately disagreed and said: "Elder, that's not what you said. Although the reason we sent the secret guard out was for the reward of a thousand stones of land for the secret guard, we didn't also do it for the Nangong family. Do you have land rights within a hundred miles?
"Besides, the Nangong family was still able to train secret guards, and they didn't lose anything. Not only did they not lose anything, but they also gained a large piece of legitimate land, which made them a lot of money. Even if the land of five thousand shi falls into our hands, we are worthy of it." It belongs to the Nangong family."

"Yeah, is it easy for us? We have worked so hard for the Nangong family, so what's the point of spending some hard work?" The other elders responded one after another, and the first elder nodded after thinking for a while with a smile on his face.
