Chapter 174 Trouble arises
Chapter 174 Trouble arises
When Ruan Qingqing arrived, Wushang and the people in Ruan Pinghuai's family who were awakened, as well as the patrol members, worked together to stop the thieves who wanted to break in.
Because there were many traps installed on the walls on their side, not only did the thieves not gain any advantage, but they also suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that they could not take the city after a long siege, not only did they not get any food but also lost many brothers, and the day was about to dawn, the remaining bandits all began to think of retreating.
But Wushang was like a madman, completely disregarding his own safety, he jumped out of the city wall and cut off the retreat of the thieves who wanted to escape.
After fighting for a while, Ruan Qingqing gradually figured out something was wrong. The attackers were very methodical, as if they were very experienced in attacking cities. If they hadn't installed traps on the city walls, they would have succeeded.
This……
They are not bandits at all, but more like soldiers from the army.
The resentment in Ruan Qingqing's heart was almost solidifying into substance.
Now that the border is in danger, these soldiers and generals do not think about how to defend their country and guard the border, but instead run to Zaozilin to shout for war and kill, bullying these unarmed civilians!
A bunch of cowards who only know how to bully others at home!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so Ruan Qingqing showed no mercy when he attacked. Apart from not taking anyone's life, he did whatever he could to injure the person.
Wushang even directly killed several leaders.
"We have killed so many thieves here, we won't have to go to jail, right?"
Ruan Pinghuai's face turned pale and his body was shaking in the cold wind.
Ruan Qingqing made a prompt decision, "Protect the scene, no one can get close, I will go to the county town to ask Master Fu to come and make the decision for us."
After saying this, he immediately took out his own carriage, had someone open the gate, and ordered Feng Yun to avoid the dead and wounded thieves and drive the carriage carefully out.
Wushang followed closely behind.
After leaving the crime scene, Ruan Qingqing told Feng Yun not to stop and run to the county government office in one breath.
Before the carriage came to a complete stop, she jumped down, picked up the mallet and started beating the drum loudly.
The dull drumbeats attracted the people nearby.
Ruan Qingqing pursed her lips. No matter what, today she was going to identify those thieves who intended to attack Zaozilin as bandits. Otherwise, if they were bitten back in the future, they would never be able to clear themselves even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
"Who's beating the drum?"
"I beg to see you, sir. We in Zaoziling were besieged by a group of bandits last night. If it weren't for the strong defense of our village, I'm afraid all the people in Zaoziling would have died under the butcher's knife of those bandits. Please, sir, make a decision for all the villagers in Zaoziling!"
Ruan Qingqing spoke in a loud and clear voice and stated the purpose of her visit.
When Fu Yuanhao heard the news, he was immediately furious. He wanted to see which bastard was so bold as to come to Zaoziling to rob and destroy things.
Without even bothering to eat breakfast, he hurriedly called together his team, yamen runners, and guards, and the group marched towards Zaozilin in a mighty procession.
Seeing the corpses and wounded lying on the ground outside the wall of Zaoziling, the corners of the mouths of those who rushed over in a hurry twitched.
The people in Zaoziling are really fierce!
"Are these the bandits who wanted to smash, loot and rob at night?" Fu Yuanhao asked.
Upon hearing the news, Village Chief Li and others hurried forward to reply, "Yes! If it weren't for the skilled craftsmanship of our village's carpenter Yan, who set up many traps on the wall, I'm afraid we would all be lying down now. Those strong men were extremely vicious, but fortunately the masked guard from Ruan Qingqing's family was highly skilled in martial arts and helped to stop them."
Fu Yuanhao waved his hand, and someone came forward to drag away all the corpses and the wounded who had fainted.
After asking some detailed questions, they returned to the county town in a mighty manner.
On the way, Sui Yun also told Fu Yuanhao the clues he had noticed, so less than a quarter of an hour after they returned to the county government office, a memorial was sent to Jiangxia Prefecture.
Far away in Jialing Pass in the northwest, Cheng Yuanqing's tent was full of joy.
"General Cheng, you really have a good way of educating your children. Look at our three young generals, not only are they handsome, but they are also talented in both literature and martial arts. They can subdue the Qingrong on the opposite side with martial arts, and they can win the hearts of the troops with a single strategy. They are better than their fathers, haha!"
"Thank you so much, uncles and aunts for your kindness! They are still very young and have a lot to learn!"
Cheng Yuanqing was very touched by everyone's praise, but he looked hypocritically modest.
A group of people were exchanging business promotions with each other, making the atmosphere inside very lively.
At this moment, a guard rushed into the tent in fear and panic, not even caring that the armor on his head was tilted.
"General, General!"
"How disgraceful! You barged in without warning and even shouted in the tent. What do you think of military rules?" Cheng Yuanqing slammed the table and shouted.
"General, I have to report that the situation was urgent and I lost my composure."
The guard fell to his knees with a thud and begged for mercy.
"Tell me! What's the emergency?" Cheng Yuanqing sat down again, picked up the teacup, blew away the foam in the cup, and asked leisurely.
"Three young generals Cheng have fallen!" The personal guard closed his eyes, knocked his head to the ground, and choked with sobs.
With a "bang!" sound, Cheng Yuanqing stood up, his eyes wide open, and he asked through gritted teeth, "What did you say?"
"Three generals have fallen!" The guards crouched even lower.
"This is impossible! How could Zhier and the others die? They clearly said they were going to find food, how could they die?"
Cheng Yuanqing found it hard to accept it for a while.
"It is absolutely true. Not only did the three young generals fall, but the soldiers who accompanied them were either dead or injured. There are only a few left."
"Bastard! Who did this? I will grind him to dust!" Upon hearing this bad news, Cheng Yuanqing was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"General! General!"
Everyone rushed to help him, some calling for a military doctor. As soon as the main man fell, the tent was in chaos.
It took a long time to rescue the man. Cheng Yuanqing dismissed all the generals and only kept his personal guards.
"Tell me! What happened? Didn't Zhier and the others go to move food? Why did they all lose their lives?"
"Everything was fine at first, but who would have thought that the group of unruly people in Zaoziling would actually surround the village with a wall. That would have been fine, but they also installed traps on the wall and hid experts in the village. The three gentlemen had a chance to escape, but who would have thought that at the most critical moment, the expert would completely disregard his own safety, jump over the wall, and kill the three gentlemen..."
The guard choked with sobs.
"Zaoziling! This general will remember it!" Cheng Yuanqing slammed his fist on the bed.
"General, calm down. You can't get angry. The overall situation at Jialing Pass needs you to take charge. How to bring back the bodies of the three masters also requires your decision!"
