Chapter 1057: They are building roads…

Wu Kingdom, a mansion in the imperial capital.

Several figures are sitting in the courtyard, talking quietly.

Behind a few people, there are dozens of other figures, all of whom have entered the imperial capital together this time.

“You said, this time we are recruited, what official will they give us?”

“It should be small, if it weren’t for us this time, could they defeat Princess Duan Rong so easily…”

“General Cheng has already gone to the palace to ask, and there should be news soon…This world is really amazing. At first, I thought of being a thief, but after doing this, I became an official. I can’t even dream of it. I can wear an official hat with my big head in my life…”

……

The identities of these people are all rebels. After the great turmoil of the Martial Kingdom a few years ago, they rose to power and became king. A few days ago, they were recruited by the court and worked with the court to defeat another powerful rebel army. , This time I came to Kyoto to receive a reward.

While several people were talking, there was a knock on the door outside the door, and one person stood up and smiled: “Could it be that General Cheng is back?”

He went to open the door in person, and he saw the familiar face of General Cheng.

“Haha, become a general, we will be colleagues in the future…”

Puff!

Before he could finish his words, his body shook suddenly. He looked down at a long spear that pierced his chest. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the man opposite and said in pain: “You, you… “

The man drew out his spear with a calm expression, then waved his hand.

“Let the arrow!”

Lines of archers swarmed in immediately, and in the courtyard, there were endless roars.

“The last name is Cheng, you are not keeping promises!”

“I will never let you go if I be a ghost!”

“What are you doing, your own people, your own people!”

……

A place of chaos.

Somewhere near the top of the Wu Kingdom, a man with an upright face was pacing back and forth in the hall, with an anxious look on his face.

“Report!”

A figure quickly rushed from the gate of the village. After rushing in, he knelt on one knee and said loudly: “General Wei, Your Royal Highness encountered the imperial ambush in Linzhou. Fortunately, she has successfully escaped. I’m here…”

The man’s face sank, and he immediately said: “Chen Qing, you personally led five hundred people to go out to meet your Highness!”

Behind him, a man knelt on one knee and bowed and said: “Lead the order!”

The other person hesitated for a moment and asked: “General, five hundred people were dispatched at the same time. The movement was too loud. If the Wan brothers knew about it, I was afraid it would…”

The middle-aged man’s face is slightly dark. The Wan brothers are a group of thugs dozens of miles away from here. They are numerous and powerful. In recent years, there have been occasional frictions between the two parties. , Is also a big problem.

He thought for a while, shook his head and said: “It’s still important for your Highness’s safety, Chen Qing, to leave now!”

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears.

The reporter pursed his lips, looked at them, and said, “General, Brother Wan, they…”

Dang Even someone’s complexion changed and asked, “Could it be that they have something different!”

The informant shook his head and said for a while: “Brother Wan, they…”

Someone couldn’t help it anymore and furiously said: “What’s the matter with them, tell me!”

“They are building roads.”

General Wei was stunned when he heard the words, frowned, and asked: “Building a road?”

The informant looked up at him, nodded and said: “Our spies have seen it with his own eyes, not just the Wan brothers, the black blind in Shuangchaling, the mountain patrol tiger in Baihugou…”

He pointed out the names of several gangster leaders in the vicinity, swallowed, and said: “They are all building roads…”

The Wan brothers, the black blind, the patrolling tiger…, the people he mentioned just now were originally thugs from the Wu Kingdom.

In the early years, they were just small horse thieves who wandered around in Bianzhou. Later, in the domestic turmoil, some people gathered huge forces to form a separatist regime. In a small area, they were enough to fight against the court.

There are also people like the Wan Brothers, who are not strong enough to compete with the court, and are unwilling to submit to other major forces, so they simply flee into the chaotic land, occupy a mountain top, and become king on their own.

Over the years, they have developed and grown like a snowball, and they have long become a hegemon in this mountain. They often go out to rob the caravans of the people. They have the intention to eradicate, but they only have the heart and powerless.

Such bandits and bandits suddenly stopped looting. Anyone would find it strange to run to do road-building tasks such as headlessness.

One person seemed to think of something, and said: “General, I heard that two years ago, a new force emerged from Jingguo. They are extraordinary in strength, and they have successfully opened up the link between Jingguo and Qi. Shangdao cleared all the bandits along the road and escorted the caravan and pedestrians. The bandits who were conquered by them all did the hard work of paving and repairing bridges…”

General Wei looked at him and asked: “You mean, those people have already come here, and at the same time they have subdued the Wan Brothers, the Black Blind, and the Mountain Tigers. Let these overlords personally repair the bridge for them. Pave the way, open up business…”

“Besides this, the subordinates can’t think of other reasons.”

“Leave aside whether they came to Martial State, and at the same time subdued the Wan Brothers, the Black Blind, the Mountain Tiger…, do you think such a huge force will appear in this chaotic place?” General Wei shook his head. Said: “No matter what the Wan brothers are doing, first take the princess and King Jing safely, and then discuss the long-term plan…”

The man looked at General Wei and was silent for a while before he said: “General, I mean, if they really subdue the Wan brothers, the next one, the next one, but us… …”

“What does this matter have to do with us?” General Wei frowned again and asked: “They conquered the bandits, we have no objection, but we are not bandits, why did they act on us? It’s such a chaotic place. , Is it their place?”

……

Dozens of miles away, on the mountain road.

A black silhouette of people is busy on the mountain road, behind them, a long gray mountain road has appeared.

A bald head stepped **** the mountain road. After confirming that there was no problem with the quality, he continued to walk forward~IndoMTL.com~ He secretly said in his heart, this is something called “cement”, it is really easy to use, comparable to mining Stone paving is much more convenient.

On a nearby hill, a young man looked at the woman in front of him with a slightly respectful gaze, and said: “Leader, this is the news that has just arrived from the Martial State. After the defeat of the rebels, Princess Rong was nowhere to be found, and the Wu Kingdom court is also trying to find her…”

After reading the messages, Miss Liu Er was silent for a moment, and said: “Send the letter to the stockade, and say that I will go back in a while, and I will leave it to Lu Luo for the time being…”

“Where are you going?”

A voice came from outside the door, and the young man saw the three people walking in, arched his hands, and immediately retreated.

Miss Liu Er looked at them and asked: “Why are you here?”

Li Yi found a chair and sat down and said: “If we can’t come, we will go to Wuguo to find you in a few days…”

Li Yi was a little grateful. Fortunately, he rushed over at the first time. If it is another day and a half in the evening, maybe he will have to follow the example of Ruyi back then and stage a chasing sister-in-law…

Miss Liu Er looked at him and said seriously: “I can’t ignore her.”

Li Yi nodded and said, “I didn’t let you leave it alone. I just want to tell you not to be impulsive. To save her from the court of the Martial Kingdom, you can do it all by yourself or with Liu Meng. If we can’t, we have to consider the long-term…”

“Us?”

“Don’t forget, she is also my nephew…”

Ms. Liu Er finally nodded, seeing him look like a servant, and asked: “Are you hungry? I will cook a bowl of noodles for you first…”

Lao Fang rubbed his stomach, looked at her and asked: “Second Miss, can you cook one more bowl?”

“Cough!”

The sloppy old man gave a light cough.

Lao Fang looked at him, then turned around and said: “Three bowls.”
