Chapter 106

The vast majority of rogue bandits have passed the initial excitement period and began to consider how to escape the crazy suppression from the imperial court, but the reality is that they can't make the decision! The order to block the whole city was very sudden and the reason was unknown. Anyway, no one was allowed to leave the city, including their own people. If they were found, they were killed on the spot!

The dignified and tense atmosphere makes the wandering bandits more sensitive and depressed psychologically, and even suicides of weak willed people happen

It seems that only brutal killing can release this emotion. Shi Jiang is in this state!

"Mou Lin must have let the Wu family run away! It must be them, damn it, they betrayed Lao Tzu!" scolded Shi Jiang, who was shaking with drink.

Li Kuan didn't speak, and there was no panic on his face, because he had already arranged his retreat. The rude guy in front of him was just a ghost for the dead. Li Kuan didn't care about his anger at all, but thought, since there is "fire", why don't you pour some "oil"?

"These clans can't believe it at all. I'm not sure they're ready. They'll attack us when the army attacks!"

Shi Jiang has been engaged in killing people and stealing goods all his life, but he can kill others. If he is killed, he will be afraid to pee his pants! So he chose to anesthetize himself with wine.

"Brother Li, let's get out of here before it's too late! As long as we get into Yingzhou lake, brother will be fearless!"

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Kuan to let him leave and create a great cause. What's the future with goods like Shi Jiang? Now it's almost tossed, and the goal has been achieved. Naturally, I have to wait for death to stay here.

I'm not sick. How can I be a water bandit in the lake? His task has been completed, and it's time to retreat. But Shi Jiang can't go. At least he has to "explain" to the Tang Dynasty hall.

"Brother, do you know why I am so calm?"

Shi Jiang vaguely thought that brother Li Kuan in front of him didn't seem to have been flustered since he raised the matter!

"Big brother is born to do great things. Naturally, he is not afraid!"

"Hahaha, of course not, but because I have enough confidence to win the Tang army. Before Wuyang City, you didn't believe we would win? But you saw the result! So you can be at ease. Pei Yuanzhao's coming is also the end of defeat! Believe me!"

Hearing him say this, Shi Jiang felt much at ease.

"The eldest brother must have some clever plan?"

"Of course, it's just a secret that can't be revealed!"

Seeing that Shi Jiang looked at ease, Li Kuan sneered in his heart and said, "what we have to do now is to start first! The Wujia clan can't stay, otherwise it will be difficult to win this battle!"

Shi Jiang took another sip of wine and threw the wine jar in his arms. "Elder brother is right. I'll kill them now! Let them taste what it's like to die!"

Many people did not expect that the current situation would collapse so quickly. Wucai'er ordered his two spies to send two messages one after another, and then wanted to evacuate with his father. The war outside the city of Wuzhou capital was in chaos and could not travel. The horses were also raided by the bandits who entered the city. The father and daughter had to give up the idea of leaving and hide at home.

"Don't worry too much. These bandits won't be proud for a few days."

Wu caier's lame father didn't worry too much about the current situation. Father Wu was originally an escort. He broke his livelihood after injuring his leg in an accident the year before last. In addition, he had to treat his grandfather. His family was becoming increasingly poor, which made Wu caier decide to go to Hezhou once.

Now grandpa has passed away, and father Wu has focused on her. The environment in Wuzhou City is getting worse and worse. Shitou also went to Fengming Prefecture. Wu's father became Wu caier's bodyguard and didn't dare to leave.

Wucai'er is not as optimistic as his father!

"Dad, you forget that the bandits can invade Wuzhou this time, but our clan..."

Words such as "surrender" and "betrayal" make it difficult for ordinary people in Wuzhou to speak. I'm afraid it's even harder to be forgiven in the eyes of the Empire.

Father Wu was not so confident, but he still said stubbornly: "isn't this to save Lord Mou? Those senior officials sent by the court arrested Lord Mou indiscriminately. If I were you, I would save him!"

But this explanation can only comfort yourself.

"But this time the consequences are too serious and the loss is difficult to estimate. I'm afraid it can't be explained for any reason!"

Father Wu also sighed.

"It is reasonable to say that elder Murong would not make such a hasty decision! Alas, up to now, take one step at a time! Can chaotang destroy our Wu clan? I dare not forgive them!"

Wucaier didn't want to argue with his stubborn father, because it didn't make any sense. At present, the bandits are becoming more and more restless. There have been many looting incidents in the city, which has worried her. I don't know what kind of turbulence Wuzhou City will experience this time

"Worried about stones?"

"Yes!"

"Don't worry, it's all right. This boy has a hard life and good skills. There will be no problem! At the beginning, elder Wu wanted him to be a squire. Didn't he value his ability?"

"I know he is your apprentice. His martial arts are the best in the world. All right!"

"Hey, dad is not sharp in legs and feet! Otherwise, he won't be the first round in the world!"

Wu caier had nothing to do with his father's boasting.

At this time, there was a large-scale shouting and killing outside. Father Wu stood up sensitively with the long gun.

"Did the army attack?" wucai'er wondered. Father Wu shook his head.

"No, it's not the right sound!" although it was a large-scale sound, father Wu, who had been a soldier for several years, denied his daughter's guess. When the father and daughter were still wondering what had happened, they heard someone outside the yard knocking the gong and shouting, "come out quickly! The bandits are besieging the ancestral hall!"

The ancestral hall represents the ancestors of the Wu clan. As the most sacred place in the spirit of Wu's descendants, not to mention the roving bandits, even the Tang army can't do this! Protecting ancestral halls is the duty of every Wu's descendants.

The sound of the Gong was a summoning order. Father Wu didn't hesitate. When he picked up the long gun, he limped out. When he got to the door, he stopped, looked back, stared at Wu caier, who followed him with a knife, and said without doubt: "you're a girl's house. What are you involved in? I'm really staying at home!"

He rushed out after talking. Wu caier hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and rushed out

Although Wu Murong has the idea of cooperating with the Tang army, he has not made specific deployment preparations. Because he can't decide this alone. Although the Wu family is divided into five, they still maintain coordination and unity in the action of major events. This is not only an interest, but also an instinct. Otherwise, one family will take action suddenly in the battle of Wuyang, and the other four will respond immediately. You know, half of the Wuzhou army were Wuxing children, which led to the instant collapse of 30000 Tang army.

The current situation was different from that in the past. Naturally, he did not dare to meet openly, so Wu Murong secretly convened the other four principal elders to discuss in the ancestral hall.

Wu Murong explained the idea that he would help the Tang army enter the city and eliminate the roving bandits so that when he was pursued by the court in the future, he could reduce his guilt. Several elders expressed their positions one after another.

"I agree with elder Murong. This is our only chance to make up for our mistakes!"

"I agree! I shouldn't have been with those bandits!"

……

Only Wu Linshen was gloomy and didn't speak. Wu Murong looked at him and said faintly, "elder Lin Shen, tell me your opinion!"

Wu Linshen looked at Wu Murong and said coldly, "is my opinion important?"

"Where does this come from? We always respect everyone's views in our deliberations!" Wu Murong didn't seem to care about his attitude. Wu Linshen sneered.

"Wumurong, what are you pretending to be a good man? I know your mind very well! Did you catch some of my clansmen?"

Wu Murong smiled faintly, but his expression gradually became cold.

"Several people were arrested just to investigate some things! What are you panicking about?"

"What do you want to investigate?"

"What are you afraid I'll investigate?"

"Hahaha, Wu Murong, at this stage today, I don't care if you know the truth. I admit that I let my men take the lead in fighting against the defeat of Tang army last time. So what? I was also trying to save Lord Mou! Besides, whose family didn't participate? It's too vicious to push me out as a cushion now!"

Facing the poor eyes of the four family elders, Wulin Shenhun didn't care. No one saw his legs, already shaking gently under table!

Wu Murong sneered at his hysterical appearance.

"Just admit it! At that time, the incident was urgent, and many of us were kept in the dark. As a result, you dragged us down in a muddle, resulting in today's situation! You kept saying that in order to save Lord Mou, but it seems that you were the one who proposed to get rid of Lord Mou?"

"That's also for everyone's consideration! Besides, you all agreed at that time!"

"Yes, it's for the safety of the whole family, and I agreed. But then I figured out one thing in time. If I betrayed my true friends for profit, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the ancestral hall after I die!"

"Wu Murong, so you admit that you let Mou Lin go?"

"Hahaha, Wulin Shen, if I hadn't awakened in time and let Lord Mou go, I wouldn't have found out your ulterior motives! That night, I not only sent a group of people to escort Lord Mou, but also someone followed me secretly. Although the first group of people were ambushed and the whole army was destroyed, the people who followed me made a big discovery! Wulin Shen, don't tell me, you don't know who ambushed me Are you a good man? "

"Hum, how do I know?"

"You don't want to admit it! Some of those attackers are your confidants! Now can you tell me who the others are? Who have you been secretly cooperating with?"

Wu Linshen had a cold sweat on his head, but his tone was not weak at all!

"Wu Murong, it's no use saying that now! I'm still that sentence. I'm thinking about the future of the whole Wu family!"

"For everyone's sake? Not necessarily! If we hadn't secretly investigated, we might have believed your nonsense!"

After talking, he shouted at the door, "bring it in?"

When the people outside heard the sound, they dragged in seven or eight bound people. There were no Wulin Shen's men, but Wulin Shen looked like death! These people were all powerful and qualified people in other clans, and they were also the people he secretly contacted.

"Wu Linshen, do you think if you buy these people, you can bring down our four families at the last moment and give you a chance to restore the glory of one family?..."

Suddenly, there was a loud cry of killing outside. Everyone was stunned. Soon, a clansman came into the house and reported that Shi Jiang led the rogue bandits and killed them without any statement. Wu Murong's face changed greatly. He didn't have time to think too much. He shouted, "call the family immediately and fight with these bastards!"

Turn around and look at Wulin Shen. He hasn't said the command to "take it down". Wulin Shen has taken the lead. He kicked over the table, took out his waist knife and cut off a family elder

Mou Lin's experience in just a few days was like riding a roller coaster. He was detained by important officials of the court, rescued by the Uzbek people, almost killed, secretly released by the Uzbek Murong, attacked and killed, and rescued by some inexplicable people.

After these people saved him, only a few people were left to protect themselves, while others left immediately, as if they had a task. Those people took him to hide in a robbed village outside the city.

Mou Lin felt that these people had no evil intention, and his heart was no longer so frightened. He took the initiative to hug the leader in his fifties and said, "this hero, Mou is very grateful for your help! But it seems that we don't know each other. Why do you want to help? Is there anything I need to do?"

The man smiled and said, "Lord Mou, don't think about it. We don't need you to do anything. Just believe it. It's all to protect you!"

Seeing that Mou Lin was puzzled, the man continued to smile and said, "it's also Lord Mou. You're lucky. If we didn't have orders and send someone to keep an eye on your safety, it's impossible to find the problem. You may not be able to save you in time!"

Hearing the key, Mou Lin hurriedly asked, "are you also from the government?"

The man nodded and did nothing to hide.

"Yes, I came from Kyoto to do business!"

"Kyoto? Who is your adult? If it's inconvenient, take Mou as if he hasn't asked. Don't be embarrassed!"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are from the Ministry of justice, and the leader is Lord Cao Yi, the left attendant of the Ministry of justice! My adults respect you very much and have always meant to get to know you. It was just inconvenient before, but now it's urgent. We don't have time to talk to Lord Mou in detail!"

"Oh, you also came to Wuzhou with Han Shu?"

The man shook his head and said, "no, we've been here long ago. We have another assignment!"

Mou Lin nodded without asking. At this time, a man ran in and said anxiously, "brother Xu, the situation is bad. The bandits sealed the Wuzhou mansion! Adults and brothers are trapped in the city. What should we do now?"

The leader frowned, remembered Cao Yi's instructions to himself, and said decisively, "let's evacuate now and go to the next place to wait for adults!"
