Scholars unparalleled

Page 379

Recently, one by one of these aristocratic families, those who sell salt sell salt, those who sell looms sell looms, and those who sell looms sell looms, and those who start workshops start workshops.

In addition, these aristocratic families are all acquaintances, and they can communicate with each other.

In this way, business is better.

With such money, they would not think about turning against Lu Chensheng.

"Then what should we do now? We can't form an army without silver taels."

The man in black on the left is in a bit of trouble. He had hoped so much, but at this moment, these hopes are all shattered.

Zheng Youchen thought for a while, and said, "You all go back first, I will find a way about this matter."

Everyone listened and nodded after thinking about it.

After the other party said so, they obeyed and left one by one.

After all these people left one after another, Zheng Youchen got into the tunnel.

Outside the yard, no one noticed that someone was already following here at this moment.

In a house in the city, the outside is heavily guarded and the inside is brightly lit.

On the wall at the side, many small notes were hung, all of which were names of people.

This is the result of their half-month follow-up, and the name they found out.

"That courtyard is a bit troublesome. Our people dare not enter it at will. There should be a tunnel in it. However, if you enter at will, you don't know the situation, and it is easy to be discovered, causing the people behind the scenes to run away."

Not to mention Wei, after they were dispatched here, one night by chance, they found someone sneaking around, and immediately followed them to the yard.

According to Lu Chensheng's teaching, they used rope and bamboo tubes to make a simple microphone, and heard some news from this yard from a long distance away.

For this microphone, people who are honest and silent are very surprised now.

This thing, connected with a rope, can hear the sound in the distance.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult for people to notice.

When outsiders see it, they will only think it is an ordinary small bamboo tube.

"We have locked and identified the rest of the people, and according to our investigation, these people seem to have a deep connection with the royal family of the Great Cang Kingdom, and they are probably the remnants of the party."

The other silent guard also said something after hearing the words.

While talking, he will record some new news discovered today and prepare to send it back to Star Seoul.

Some of the information they collected was to be sent back, and Jin Yiwei was sorting it out and backing it up.

"Follow up and investigate harder, take down this group of people, the credit will be great!"

Bu Yanwei, the leader, had a look of excitement on his face.

He couldn't be happier to touch such a big fish.

The rest of the people heard the words and responded one after another.

In Xinghan City, Chengxue came back with a team of soldiers, and she left a team in Yanran City.

After returning, there will be military rations sent to them in the future, and Yanran City will be guarded by them from now on.

To be honest, Chengxue also felt that there was nothing to defend in that dilapidated place, but there were people there, so they could only send troops to guard it.

Qi Shizhong also came back together, and in the end he surrendered.

Because of the generous salary, he can support himself.

In addition, Xing Seoul's rush to help this time also shocked him a lot.

In the face of desperation, a magical soldier who appeared suddenly rescued him and let him know that the hope of life is so beautiful.

He also thought that as long as he continued to serve as a soldier for one day in the future, when he heard the news of a siege, he would lead the army to rescue without hesitation.

If it was in Chengzhou Kingdom, it would be impossible to realize this idea.

Chengxue led people into the city in a hurry, and then a few Qi Shizhong who were called by name followed, and rushed towards the courtyard where Lu Chensheng lived.

When she came back, she heard about Yueyue, and she missed her very much now.

After a while, Yueyue stepped into the gate of the courtyard and shouted, "Yueyue!"

Yueyue, who was playing in the yard, heard the voice, and after being startled, she immediately beamed with joy, "Aunt Xue, you're really back!"

Yueyue ran towards Chengxue.

Seeing this, Cheng Xue also stretched out her hands, taking advantage of the situation to hug her.

"Aunt Xue, you're fine!"

Yueyue was so happy that she was going crazy, she heard her father say that Aunt Xue would not come back if she was still here, and she couldn't see Aunt Xue's words, but it made her cry miserably.

"Lord Lu is just making an analogy, please don't be sad, Yueyue."

Cheng Xueqiao's face was also full of pampering, Lu Chensheng has not yet ascended the throne, she can call the other party's name, but in the future she will call the other party's highness the princess.

Yueyue didn't think of this, so she hugged Chengxue's neck and rubbed it, expressing the joy in her heart.

"You take a few of them to the main hall, the adults will come to see you later."

Cheng Xue didn't forget the few people in Qi Shi, and ordered the maid beside her to take these people to the main hall to wait.

When the servant girl heard the words, she immediately followed suit.

Chapter 624 I'm Not Dead

Hearing the news of Chengxue's return, Lu Chensheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and before Cheng Xue came back, Lu Chensheng couldn't guarantee that the other party was really all right.

After staying with Yueyue for a while, Chengxue tidied up her appearance and went to meet Lu Chensheng. As for Yueyue, she asked the other party to wait obediently for her.

Yueyue was obedient, and immediately came down after hearing this.

"My lord, the general is ordered to come back!"

Chengxue saw that Lu Chensheng was much more disciplined, she cupped her fists and saluted.

"Well, hard work."

Lu Chensheng raised his head, looked at the dusty Chengxue and nodded.

"How is the situation in Yanran City?"

"Returning to my lord's words, when the last general led his army to arrive, the city was not broken, and Qi Shizhong led the rest of the twenty or so people to fight the enemy hard, which was particularly heroic."

Cheng Xue didn't ask for credit, but just told about the difficulties of Qi Shizhong and others.

"Out of 500 people, there are only about [-] people left?"

Lu Chensheng frowned, and there was a slight change on his face.

"Yes, the remaining 20 people will fight to the death without retreating."

They are all heroes!

Lu Chensheng was filled with emotion.

"What about these people?"

"They are all waiting for your lord in the main hall, and they are all willing to surrender to your lord."

Cheng Xue replied.

All down?This is a good thing!

Lu Chensheng appreciates this kind of people. Maybe these people may not put the dynasty in the supreme position, but they will definitely put the common people first.

This is enough for Lu Chensheng.

"Well, you've worked hard too, go down and rest, I'll meet them."

Lu Chensheng got up, ready to go to the main hall to meet these people.

Cheng Xue agreed and backed away.

A while later, when Lu Chensheng came to the main hall, he saw twenty stiff men who were a bit cautious.

The leader was a strong man with scars on his face, which added a bit of evil spirit at first glance, but at the moment the other party looked a little nervous, but he also seemed a bit simple and honest.

"I've seen adults!"

Just as Lu Chensheng came in, when Qi Shizhong and the others saw it, they clasped their fists and said.

"Don't be too polite."

Lu Chensheng walked to the seat and sat down, and asked all the people in front of him to stand up.

After Qi Shizhong and the others stood up straight, they also had a clear look at Lu Chensheng's appearance.

Seeing this, they were all taken aback.

I have heard about Lu Chensheng's various names earlier, and I also know how prosperous Xinghan City has become under the other party's governance.

But when they saw it now, they never thought that the other party was actually a scholar.

And he is also an extremely handsome scholar, just like a humble son.

Originally, they thought that the other party should have a portrait of an emperor, but this made them feel that there was a big gap.

"Why, do you think I shouldn't look like this?"

Seeing the surprise in their eyes, Lu Chensheng smiled immediately.

Qi Shizhong subconsciously nodded, and after realizing it, he shook his head quickly, indicating that he didn't mean it that way.

Lu Chensheng didn't care, and glanced at these people.

Everyone has scars on their bodies, and the armor on their bodies is full of scars. It can be seen from the bloody battles they have experienced.

"I admire you a lot, and you are willing to use it for me. This is my luck. In this way, a lot of new recruits were recruited just a few years ago. How about giving you 5000 people to command?"

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, 1 people are too many, and this person still needs to observe more at present, 5000 people should be just right.

5000 people?

Hearing this, Qi Shizhong was stunned. He was only a centurion with 500 people.

Now it is directly commanding 5000 people, a direct increase of ten times!

Is this Lu Chensheng so relieved of him?Don't worry about him running back to Da Cang Kingdom with these 5000 people?

Not only Qi Shizhong, but also Xiaoliuzi and others were stunned, and looked at Lu Chensheng in disbelief.

Why is the other party so reassuring to them?

"My lord, aren't you afraid that we will bring our soldiers back to the Kingdom of Zhou?"

Qi Shizhong swallowed hard, and asked.

"Why worry? How much is the salary of the soldiers in Xinghan City? If you take it back, can Dacang Kingdom afford so much salary? What's more, I see that you are also a man, I believe you will not do such a thing Come."

Lu Chensheng replied.

Qi Shizhong and the others were immediately moved by these words.

This kind of trust, whoever puts it on, will make people want to be directly referred to as a confidant.

If it weren't for Lu Chensheng's high position, Qi Shizhong would have stepped forward to pat Lu Chensheng on the shoulder, and then invited Lu Chensheng to have a drink together.

"My lord's kindness of knowing you will be repaid in the end."

Qi Shizhong knelt down on one knee and took the oath.

Seeing this, He Qi and the others also knelt down one by one.

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng waved his hands, "You don't need to be like this, I see that you are also tired, let's go down to wash up and have a good rest, let's rest for three days, then go to the military camp to take up a post, then I will write a good handwriting of."

"Yes!"

Qi Shizhong and the others responded immediately, and then retreated one by one.

The maid on the side led the way and took them to a resting place, and they would change into the prepared clothes at that time.

These people are all Lu Chensheng's people, so naturally Lu Chensheng won't be mean to them.

Lu Chensheng had a wave of goodwill in front of this general, and he was satisfied now.
