Chapter 11 The sweeping up of Yansui Town
"Kill!" Hundreds of ragged military households rushed towards the mountain village in front of them under the command of several lower-level officers who were barely dressed better. However, these military households, who were usually desolate and looked like beggars all over the street, were now full of joy, as if they were not fighting a war, but were getting money.
The gate of the cottage in front of them was easily knocked open by them.
The bandits in the village were panicked when they saw these military households who were too lazy to even rob, and they all looked panicked when they saw them. It was as if the one standing in front of them was not the poor military households all over the streets, but the most capable soldiers.
Half an hour later, the shouts of killing in the mountain village immediately stopped, and a stream of black smoke ignited.
Hundreds of poor military households came out of the parcel happily with big bags. It was obvious that these poor military households who could hardly even see the money for the whole year had really made a small fortune this time.
"Hahaha! What a bandit, all fucking vulnerable!" At the foot of the mountain, there were more than a thousand brightly dressed soldiers and horses wielding swords and guns, among which were surrounded by several generals in armor. At this moment, among these generals, a middle-aged general with a bearded face looked at the black smoke rising from the mountain and laughed.
"It's still the general who commanded the situation and easily eliminated the big thieves in Yansui Town. Now we will be so smooth." Next to the general, Gu Xiao rode on the horse in fish-scale armor. He was accompanied by the side. When he heard this, he immediately complimented.
This middle-aged general with a bearded face was nothing else. It was Cheng Guo, the general of Yansui Town, who is his current immediate boss.
When Cheng Guo heard Gu Xiao's compliment, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.
To be honest, at the beginning, he didn't like this general who came down out of thin air. Because after more than two hundred years of evolution, the important towns in the Ming Dynasty had already formed their own systems and became officials. They had already had an unwritten set of rules.
Now, a general in charge fell out of thin air, which immediately made many people in Yansui Town very dissatisfied.
Many people discussed in private that after this general took office, they must give him some color to see.
However, before their plan was realized, they were immediately still in the womb. Because while the general took office, he brought the five hundred elite soldiers he had carefully trained to kill Yu Luosha, one of the two largest bandits in Yansui Town, and also killed dozens of thieves of all sizes in Yansui Town on the spot.
After receiving the news, the entire Yansui Town was in sensation. Then, when these people with different intentions met this general, the general said very tactfully that this action was planned by the governor and assisted by the former governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Zhuo Zhonglian. In the end, the victory was achieved by the command of the general, and he was just an errand runner.
When the civil and military officials in Yansui Town saw that the new genius general was so good at being a human being, they immediately became satisfied.
After all, although there are not many people who can fight in Yansui Town, there are definitely many. However, there are not many people who can fight in war and be a human being. Therefore, after Gu Xiao made a very wise choice to bring out his military achievements, the entire Yansui Town quickly accepted him.
The original internal rejection disappeared invisible in the shortest time.
Immediately afterwards, while the thieves inside Yansui Town were almost wiped out, these officers who were bullied by the thieves for many years could no longer bear it. No one needed to incite them to each other, and they immediately jumped up and began to sweep the entire thieves in Yansui Town.
The heads of dozens of thieves were found and sent one by one to their own villages and then attacked again. The battle was simply too easy.
Therefore, these officers, who were originally yelling that they were children raised by their stepmothers, were as happy as the festivals during these days.
"Shaonan, I heard that you arrested Wang Zhaoxi, the son of the thief Wang Jiayin?" Cheng Guo looked at Gu Xiao, who had almost planned this big sweep but was not proud of his achievements at all, and said with a glance at Gu Xiao, who knew the reason.
When Gu Xiao heard this, he glanced at Cheng Guo in confusion.
He had already reported this incident to him when he first met the general. He didn't understand what Cheng Guo meant to re-report the old things. However, his mind was very quick, and after thinking about it for a moment, he understood what Cheng Guo meant.
Of course, Cheng Guo did not forget this. He was reminding himself that Wang Jiayin might send someone to save his son.
However, as long as you think about it, Gu Xiao simply did not take these people seriously by the martial arts of the big and small thief leaders in Yansui Town. In his opinion, the entire Shaanxi territory was nothing more than the Huashan School!
But since the Huashan Sect’s incident with the Five Mountains Sect decades ago, it has been greatly damaged.
Although the Huashan Sect has a profound foundation and has not disappeared into the long river of history like the other four sects in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, over the years, the Huashan Sect's momentum has long been much worse than before. Gu Xiao did not believe that Mu Renqing, who has just taken over the leadership of the Huashan Sect, dared to stand up for Wang Jiayin!
"As far as the general knows, Wang Jiayin is gathering people around to save his son!"
As expected, Cheng Guo said this expected news.
When Gu Xiao heard the news from Cheng Guo, he smiled disdainfully and said, "A bunch of bandits cannot make the climate!"
"Shaonan!" Cheng Guo was anxious after hearing Gu Xiao's tone that he didn't take Wang Jiayin seriously. Although he didn't have much contact with each other, he still really liked the boy in front of him. This boy was not so greedy for his work, and he was really a rare talent.
He hurriedly reminded: "Don't be too careless. As far as the general knows, Wang Jiayin has gathered many rebellious people who are not arrogant in the world, intending to steal his son and kill you! Don't be too careless!"
Gu Xiao immediately became concerned when he heard this.
Although he didn't think that Wang Jiayin could get any powerful figures, since Cheng Guo was so formally reminding him, he naturally had no reason to be ungrateful. At that moment, he thanked Cheng Guodao and signaled that he understood. Cheng Guo finally felt attentive when he saw Gu Xiao, and he gave him a breath.
If Wang Jiayin really brings people to steal his son back, then if he wants to take the opportunity to destroy his copycat, it will be a rare and great opportunity.
Over the past period of time, the government army in Yansui Town, which has been bullied by these bandits for many years, has long been motivated to be motivated. Therefore, even if Cheng Guo did not want to defeat Wang Jiayin, after all, Wang Jiayin was there. It was much easier for him to ask for money and salary from the court, but he could not resist the pressure from the brothers below.
Therefore, it has been decided within Yansui Town to use this matter to kill Wang Jiayin, and Gu Xiao is the fishing bait they chose. Now, Cheng Guo can specifically remind Gu Xiao to not be too careless, which is already very loyal.
When Gu Xiao heard Cheng Guo say this, of course he could guess the attitude of Yansui Town towards this matter, and he himself had no objection to it. After all, in the officialdom, the most terrible thing was never used, but not even the value of use. Gu Xiao thanked Cheng Guo and remembered this matter in his heart. Then after dealing with the matter here, the group began to set off. The difference was that Cheng Guo despised the strong wind and sand of Yan'an Prefecture. He went straight back to his general army yamen in Xi'an, while Gu Xiao returned to his mansion in Yan'an.
After walking on the road for a day and night, Gu Xiao finally returned to Yan'an Mansion with hundreds of his personal soldiers.
As soon as Gu Xiao returned to his general's mansion, he rushed straight towards the backyard. When the soldiers behind him saw Gu Xiao's urgent appearance, they immediately made a series of lewd smiles tacitly. In the eyes of these people, his general was most likely planning to go back and enjoy that beautiful lady.
Since they seized Lian Nishang, these people all thought that Gu Xiao and Lian Nishang had accomplished good things.
However, what none of them knew was that Gu Xiao had not touched Lian Nishang's finger before.
Gu Xiao was so anxious to go to the backyard because he was indeed looking for Lian Nishang, but there was something else.
"Do you know? Wang Jiayin is coming to save his son!" As soon as he saw Lian Nishang, Gu Xiao said directly to her. (To be continued.)
