Chapter 1382 Naval Battle (5)

Nan Gongdun, who returned to the room, slapped the table angrily. He already knew that he could not change the decision of the elders' meeting. Why don't you think about it, if Zhao Hu destroys Mingyue City, then he is the lord of Mingyue City.

But I'm afraid they don't want to think about it, after all, who would have thought that a small major would have the strength of Mingyue City.

Alas, Zhao Hu broke his promise this time. It seems that the Nangong family will not have a bright future in the August Empire.But fortunately, he was able to obtain land with a radius of a hundred miles in a legitimate way, which can be regarded as a little compensation.

While Nangong Dun was sighing, his nephew Nangong Bing ran in: "Third Uncle, I know why those elders are seeking refuge in Mingyue City.

"That's because the Lord of Mingyue City promised them that as long as they are willing to hand over the secret guards and exchange one secret guard for a thousand stones of land, the five old fellows are so eager to decide to join Mingyue City! They have given all the secret guards Divided."

Nangong Dun slammed the table and stood up and shouted: "Damn it! How dare they give away secret guards for personal gain? Could it be that they lied to me when they said that Nangong's family was able to obtain land within a radius of a hundred miles?"

"Third Uncle, they didn't lie to you about this, it's just that the territory of the Nangong family is the mountainous area here, and their fiefdom is the fertile land near Mingyue City. By the way, I also heard that they decided to leave my house after acquiring the land. .” Nangong Bing said.

Nangong Dun didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly sat down with all his anger, and sneered: "Hmph, leave Nangong's family? They really thought that they could become local tyrants with a thousand stones of land, and they didn't even think about it, as long as they left the family Asylum, their land will be swallowed up by those powerful people at any time."

Nangong Bing asked: "Third Uncle, we need to be the first to give the elders..." Nangong Bing made a gesture of cutting down.

Nangong Dun shook his head: "Now that their crimes have not been proven, if we do something, the whole family will collapse, so forget it.

"Anyway, our Nangong family also has a large piece of land in the account. Although it is a little poor, it is not without benefits. And after they get the territory, they will definitely leave the family. Otherwise, people in the family will oppose them. In this way, we can take advantage of this opportunity. It is also a good thing to abolish the elder system and put all the power in the hands of the head of the family."

Nangong Bing immediately nodded with a smile on his face. Regardless of his young age, he is still a young master. Seeing the increase in the power of the Patriarch, as the future Patriarch, he is of course happy.

Nangong Bing suddenly thought of something and slapped his head, and said to Nangong Dun: "Third Uncle, Mode sent a man over, it seems that there is an emergency, and he will only speak when he sees you, what do you think?"

"Oh? Is there any order from Zhao Hu, um, call him in."

Although Nan Gongdun thought that because of the secret guards, he must have lost points in front of Zhao Hu, it can be said that it doesn't matter whether he is a retainer or not.

But when he thought that the provincial governor and the head of the division had made good friends with Zhao Hu, it showed that Zhao Hu had a bright future, so he didn't want to cut off this line so early, so he was ready to listen to Zhao Hu's order.

He made up his mind, if he could implement it, he would accept the task, if not, then forget it.

Hearing the news from Mod's subordinates, Nangong Dun and Nangong Bing were stunned.

After a while, Nangong Bing said hesitantly: "Third uncle, my lord, isn't he too powerful? He actually wiped out the young master of Mingyue City at once, and captured twenty warships. What's even more powerful is that he is preparing to attack Mingyue City?" Nangong soldiers didn't dare to call Zhao Hu by his name because of the presence of Mod's subordinates.

"How does Maud act?"

Nan Gongdun asked with a frown, he didn't think Zhao Hu could succeed by acting so recklessly, not to mention the mercenaries and the soldiers of local tyrants attached to Mingyue City, Mingyue City alone had tens of thousands of regular troops, and Mingyue City, which occupies a favorable location, could not be defeated by Zhao Hu These are thousands of people.

Rosacea, this is a nickname for a person.

On the surface, Rosacea is the owner of a tavern at the Mingyue City Wharf, but secretly he is a fief-owned Mingyue City spy.

His task is to monitor the rogues coming in and out of the tavern, and if he finds any bad movements, he must immediately report the news to the city.

Rosacea relied on such achievements to earn the current five hundred stone fiefdom.

But now, Rosacea felt that his fiefdom was going to increase again.

The reason is very simple, because he found that the leaders of the rogue bandits were all gathered together and muttering about something.

Even the rogue leaders who are usually hostile to each other will meet each other when they meet, and they will no longer be the same as before, cursing and fighting with knives as soon as they meet.

And besides the rogue leaders who were usually active at the pier, leaders from other places also began to appear in the port.

Although I didn't find anything when I went to inquire, but with the two key words "lord, seek refuge" I overheard, it is enough to guess that there is a force that is preparing to take these rogue leaders as retainers.

Although I don't know which force it is, since it wasn't done by my lord, then the enemy appeared, so it's all a great credit.

Just as Jiucena was eagerly preparing to report the information, there was a sudden loud noise from the street, and he pricked up his ears to listen, as if something had leaked out.

I don't care about this rosacea at all. There won't be a few fire accidents in this pier. Anyway, there are people from the public security station, so it's not my turn to take care of things. I and them are two systems.

Just when Jiucena was secretly proud that he didn't need to be like a police station, and worked hard without any credit, the noise on the street not only didn't weaken or stop, but became louder and louder. Exception, couldn't help running out to watch.

This sight immediately stunned him, and he saw that the sky in the distance was glowing red, and the area was completely shrouded in flames.

God, is this walking water?

In the past, at most two or three houses burned, but now an entire block is engulfed in flames!
Maude looked at the flames in the distance in a daze, and then at the men who were a little uneasy who left behind to deal with the aftermath, Maode was about to cry now.

The meaning of my aftermath was just to tell them to hide the corpse and close the tavern, but I didn't expect them to set fire to it!And it was this kind of fire that burned the whole block!
damn it!It won't be long before this place belongs to the lord, and now that it's been destroyed, how can I explain it?

Seeing the pitiful look of his subordinates, Maud patted his head, what can he do?Punish these subordinates for reasons you didn't explain clearly?

So what if he is punished?beat?scold?Wasting his own strength and causing complaints from his subordinates.

kill?I'm afraid that his subordinates will rebel against him immediately.

Sigh, forget it, since this is the case, let's just make a big fuss. A chaotic Mingyue City is definitely easier for the lord to take down.

Thinking of this, Maude glared at his subordinates fiercely, drew his knife and shouted: "Send the order, rob and kill the magistrate, stir up the murderous nature of all the rogues, and tell those rogue leaders that as long as the troops in the city are drawn out, all the retainers will be killed." They are indispensable! Don’t forget to tell the rogues in other places, I will make the entire territory of Mingyue City mess up!”

The subordinate who was worried about what he did wrong immediately roared happily, drew his knife and rushed to the other side of the sea of ​​flames. The security officers of the public security station were all there to direct their subordinates to fight the fire.

"Damn it! What are those sheriffs doing? Why don't they order these rogues to join in the firefighting! Do they think they can put out the fire with so few people in their police station?"

Having said this to himself, Jiuxuan couldn't help being furious when he saw the rogues crowded on the street gloating over their misfortune.

"These damned guys, knowing that they have no property and no family, just think that they are safe, and don't even think about the wharf being burned down, how can you find food!"

Talking to himself, Jiuxuan suddenly had a thought: "Ah, will these damned guys take advantage of the fire? Damn! Such a big fire, I saw it from a long distance, why haven't the troops from the city arrived yet?" ?" Thinking about it, I didn't bother to care about the fire or not, so I turned my head and went into the tavern to pack my bags and prepare to escape.

The owners of the nearby taverns and shops were obviously aware of this problem, and they all left the crowd and went home to prepare.

These bosses didn't notice that when they left, they were followed by a few rogues with malicious faces.

Immediately afterwards, several bandit leaders who received the news gathered together to discuss a few words, and then led people to attack these shops and taverns, and began to massacre civilians who were not bandits.

In Mingyue City, upon receiving the news that the pier was on fire, the lord of Mingyue City waved his hand when he learned that it was just a fire.

As a confidant, Fell knew that his lord was in a bad mood.

Anyone who lost a son would not be in a good mood. If it wasn't for the lord who had an illegitimate son, the lord would have drowned his sorrows in alcohol.

Of course, the protagonist is not all in a bad mood because of the dead young master, and of course it is not because of the fire.

The lord at the pier has no interests, so it doesn't matter if it burns down completely, because the shipyard is not at that pier at all, and it is impossible for the fire to spread to the city.

Of course, it's not because of the next transaction, the two parties have already negotiated, as long as the money and goods match.

However, the lord's bad mood has something to do with this transaction, nothing else, it's because of the war horse.

In fact, speaking of it, it was also my fault that the lord was too excited when he got two hundred war horses at a time. Not only did he immediately form a cavalry team, but he also brought all the cavalry to the hall.
