Not long after, the subordinate officer ran back and reported, "Sir, Chen Sima's group has left the east gate."
Sun Mo was startled, and asked in surprise: "Why are they leaving in such a hurry?"
Zhou Yu laughed coldly, narrowed his eyes, and said: "This water thief sure has a guilty conscience."
Sun Mo said with extreme regret: "It's a pity he ran away! This is truly a calamity in the future! "
Zhou Yu laughed coldly: "It won't be that easy to escape!" Then he turned to Sun Mo and said: "Master, you can immediately send the cavalry soldiers to kill them. Just think of it as the bandits killing them. " Sun Mo's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Right, right, this is an excellent idea!" He then said to the official standing below, "Go and call General Li Tong over."
After Chen Lang saw Sun Mo, he immediately led Guan Yu and the rest to rush back to the Wumianzhe County. Originally, Chen Lang would not be in such a hurry, but because he saw Zhou Yu at the Prefect's yamen, he felt a sense of danger. That was why he left Lushan River City in such a hurry.
The group rode their horses for about twenty miles. It was already afternoon and there were only a few pedestrians on the road. Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from the road behind them. Chen Lang stopped the Black Dragon and looked back. Seeing that, everyone stopped. Guan Yu saw the dust cloud behind him fly into the air as over a hundred riders rushed towards him. He could not help but narrow his eyes and say: "These people are not friendly! Although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, they were obviously soldiers! " Chen Lang sneered.
At this time, the knight who was leading the group shouted loudly, "Dog Officer, take care! Grandpa is here to take your dog life!" While he was speaking, the hundred over riders had already rushed to the front of the group of more than twenty steps.
Chen Lang looked at Guan Yu, and the latter understood. He brought along her Azure Dragon crescent moon knife and rushed out like a tiger leaving its beak! The leader of the riders was shocked and subconsciously reined his horse to avoid the attack! Just at that moment, Guan Yu bellowed, the Azure Dragon crescent moon knife in his hand struck down quickly like lightning! The rider was caught off guard and was cut into two by the knife. Blood gushed out as the two halves of his body fell to the ground!
The Knights were scared out of their wits when they saw this scene. They did not dare to move forward! Guan Yu shook the blood off the Azure Dragon crescent moon knife, then glared and shouted: "Scram!" All the Knights turned their horses around and fled.
Chen Lang laughed and said: "Let's go!" They turned their horses around and continued on their way.
When the riders returned to the magistrate court, Sun Mo saw them fleeing in a sorry state and was surprised. He asked in a bad mood, "What happened to all of you? Why are all of them in such a sorry state? "
A knight quickly reported: "Sir, we, we can't stop them! Li, General Li was also killed by them! "
Sun Mo was shocked, and shouted: "That's impossible! General Li Tong is an expert in martial arts, who could kill him? "
Another knight said: "Yes, it's a red-faced burly man with a long beard! With a long blade, his might is peerless. General Li Tong was chopped down by him in a single exchange! "
Sun Mo was shocked, he could not say a word for a long while. Thinking about Zhou Yu, he immediately looked towards Zhou Yu and asked anxiously: "Gongzi Zhou, that Chen Lang has such a powerful general under his command, what should we do?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently, "Master, there is no need to panic. So what if Chen Lang has a powerful general? "The Lord is his superior, he must obey the Lord's orders in the end!" Hearing that, Sun Mo remembered that he was a level higher than the other party, he could not help but be relieved, and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, I am his superior, what can he do to me?"
Zhou Yu said: "This person is a disaster after all, and it cannot be avoided."
Sun Mo frowned and asked: "But his subordinates are so brave and fierce, if we want to get rid of them, it won't be easy!"
Zhou Yu laughed, with a confident look on his face. Seeing that, Sun Mo anxiously asked: "Does Gongzi Zhou have any clever plans?"
Zhou Yu laughed: Master, did you forget that you are his superior? You can ask him to send troops to exterminate the thieves and the evildoers in Taiping Road, and let them fight with each other. Sun Mo's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Right, right! If he were to go, I would reap the rewards. If he were to go, I would be able to charge him with betraying the imperial court by disobeying the orders of the military, and then I would be able to legitimately send troops to suppress him! As long as we exterminate this group of Sailfish, the other bandits will be easy to deal with! " He gave Zhou Yu a big thumbs up and praised him, "Gongzi Zhou is full of schemes!"
Zhou Yu laughed, he did not care about Sun Mo's praise at all. Thinking about Chen Lang, he subconsciously felt that this person's own party's most terrifying enemy must take advantage of his lack of wings to eliminate him as soon as possible!
An official rushed in and handed a letter to Sun Mo. "Master, a document that was just delivered from the capital is in a rush!"
Sun Mo felt that it was a little strange, and said: "Read it." Zhou Yu picked up the teacup on the case and started drinking his tea.
The subordinate officer replied, opening the letter and reading out loud: "Recently, Taiping Road's leader Zhang Jiao and others have openly rebelled. The situation is already very serious.
Sun Mo looked at Zhou Yu, and said in disbelief: "Taiping Road dares to openly rebel?"
Zhou Yu thought: "Looking at the actions of the Taiping Road over the years, it's not strange for them to openly rebel."
Sun Mo asked: "Then, what should we do now?" Then, he said worriedly: "If, if the Taiping Road's bandit troops go south in a large scale, we, we … …" When Sun Mo thought of that terrifying place, his fat face turned pale white.
Zhou Yu looked down on him in his heart, but his expression did not reveal the slightest bit, and he said: "Sir, do not worry. The Taiping Road was mostly located in the north, so it was inevitable that the chaos was in the north. If that was not the case, why wait for the imperial government's documents to find out about the Taiping Road Demon's rebellion? " After Sun Mo heard this, he could not help but feel more relaxed, but he was still unable to calm down, and said: "But, but there are a lot of Spirit Demon beings on our side, they had previously attacked the officials, and now that Zhang Jiao and the rest are publicly rebelling, the Spirit Demon beings here will probably take action too!"
Zhou Yu said: "The strength of the local demon is limited. Master has ten thousand officers and I have brought another five thousand elites, it is more than enough to deal with them!" Then he laughed, "Master, don't forget about that Chen Lang. How can we let Chen Lang go all out and fight those demons from the Taiping Road for us right now! " Sun Mo's eyes lit up, and he could not help but clap and say, "Wonderful! "Wonderful!"
Chen Lang and his group met many refugees on the way, and only after asking them about it did they know that various Taiping Road had rebelled, and that these commoners had all escaped in a hurry. Chen Lang was a little surprised by this situation, but he felt that this shouldn't be the Taiping Road's official rebellion, it should still be a looting operation like before. The group of people hurriedly returned to Wu Wei County. Once he returned to the county, Gan Ning welcomed him with an old man. That old man was called Ding Fang, he was the grandfather of Chen Lang's maid Juan'er, and was currently in charge of the internal affairs of the Wumianzhe County. The two of them bowed towards Chen Lang, and Gan Ning spoke anxiously: "I received news not long ago from the north, that the people from Taiping Road have rebelled!"
Chen Lang stopped and thought about what he saw on the way. He asked in surprise: "You said that the Taiping Road has rebelled?" Gan Ning nodded. Old Man Ding said from the side, "I heard that the horned man shouted the slogan 'The heavens are dead, the sky is yellow', and he summoned all of the church members under heaven to rebel. I heard that many places in the north have been overturned, and the Taiping Road has already occupied many counties and counties!"
Chen Lang frowned, he paced back and forth, and muttered: "Did the rebellion really begin? Wasn't this supposed to start in March or April next year? Why was it so early? Has history changed? " Chen Lang could not understand at all. He threw all these thoughts to the back of his mind and asked Gan Ning and Old Man Ding, "How did the imperial government react? Are there any xanthopanax s around us? "
Gan Ning said: "There is no news from the imperial government. However, the nearby Stone Pavilion County and Avenge River County were in chaos, the Taiping Road Demons from two places had already killed the local officials and occupied the town! "
Chen Lang walked to the head table and sat down, then asked: "What about the other places?"
Gan Ning said: "According to the refugees, the other places have also become a mess, with yellow scarves everywhere."
Chen Lang thought for a moment, then warned Gan Ning, "The gate should be guarded more strictly, don't let the xanthopanax's spies in." Gan Ning nodded, "Understood."
Chen Lang thought for a while and said: "Yellow scarf is in chaos, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to expand our strength and influence!" Then, he said to Guan Yu and Gan Ning: "In the near future, you guys need to intensify your training!" The two of them clasped their fists in response. Chen Lang then said to the Old Man Ding, "Old Ding, you have to gather the fodder weight!" Old Man Ding replied.
An officer suddenly rushed in and bowed towards Chen Lang: "Master, there are more refugees outside!"
Chen Lang frowned, he immediately ran out with everyone following closely behind. A group of people ran up the city wall, only to see a sea of people outside the city gate. There were actually tens of thousands of refugees carrying their families along with them. Guan Yu revealed an expression of shock, and said. "Looks like the situation is even more critical than what we imagined!"
Old Man Ding was at a loss, "There are more and more refugees, what do we do now?" Then, he said to Chen Lang: "Master, we can't let any more refugees in, or we won't be able to take it!"
Chen Lang looked at the terrified refugees below the city and shook his head, "They are all homeless people, we cannot reject them!" But if this goes on, other things will be fine, but the food will be tight! " The Old Man Ding asked worriedly. Chen Lang thought for a while, then said: "I'll think of a way to deal with this matter."
A few days had passed, and more and more refugees had fled from the north to the County City.
