heavy weapon is king

Chapter 166 You will always be my followers (second update)

Yangzhou City, outside the east gate.

More than a dozen officials from the Siya Factory stood on the left side of the city gate with respectful expressions.

Shi Zheng led [-] elite dragons and tigers, lined up neatly, and stood on the right side of the city gate with a stern expression.

Under the protection of Niu Meng and others, Nie Zheng quickly walked out of the city gate and came to the anti-insurgency team.

Seeing this scene, Shi Zheng immediately jumped off his horse, ran quickly to Nie Zheng, bowed his hands and said, "Master!"

Nie Zheng looked at him and said with a serious expression: "Shi Zheng, this time you lead your troops to the seven counties to quell the chaos, you must make a quick decision so that the seven counties of Yangzhou can restore peace as soon as possible."

Shi Zheng bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Leader, I'm going to seven counties to quell the chaos, should those local ruffians be captured or killed?"

"kill!"

A cold light flashed in Nie Zheng's eyes, and he said decisively: "Anyone who gathers crowds to cause trouble and loot while taking advantage of the chaos: shoot and kill! If any gangsters are found, no matter whether they are bright or dark, they will all be killed on the spot, and their heads will be hung on the city wall for public display!"

Hearing this, Shi Zheng nodded deeply, cupped his hands again and said, "This subordinate understands."

After finishing speaking, Shi Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Leader, I will go to the seven counties to quell the chaos. It will take less than ten days to come and go. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the city. There were only 4000 people in Yangzhou City originally. , Now my subordinates have sent thousands of troops to guard the seven counties, and they are worried that the state city will not have enough troops, and if foreign invaders come from the Great Vietnam, the defense of Yangzhou city will be tight."

Nie Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have received news that the people of Dayue in Annanbei have all withdrawn to Zengzhou three hundred miles away, and now the king of Dayue, Sangkang, is leading tens of thousands The tribal elites are at war with Myanmar, and the two sides are fighting fiercely. In a short period of time, the group of Dayue people will not attack easily until they have an absolute chance of winning. You can go and quell the chaos for me at ease, and after the matter is completed, 200 troops will be left in each county to guard, and you can rush back to the state capital as soon as possible."

Shi Zheng looked at Nie Zheng, took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said: "This subordinate will definitely live up to the leader's expectations!"

Nie Zheng patted his thick shoulder again, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful on the road, don't let your guard down at any time! Alright, let's go..."

After bowing and saluting, Shi Zheng turned around like a whirlwind, got on his horse neatly, and led the elite of thousands of dragons and tigers, and left the city gate in a mighty way.

At the same time, more than a dozen officials who were responsible for leading the way and reassuring the people also got into the carriage one after another and followed the team.

After watching the pacification team gradually go away, Nie Zheng immediately told Niu Meng who was standing beside him: "Help me on my horse and go back to Jinlin Garden!"

Niu Meng said respectfully: "Yes, leader!"

At this time, Nie Zheng suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at him, and said with a faint smile: "From today on, none of you are allowed to call me the leader!"

Hearing this, not only Niu Meng, but even the dozen or so elite dragon and tiger guards beside him were stunned for a moment, looking at Nie Zheng with doubts on their faces.

"League... Leader, if I don't call you leader, what should I call you?"

Nie Zheng lowered his head and thought about it, and said very seriously: "Marshal, I'll call him Marshal. This title sounds more majestic and domineering, and it fits my temperament very well!"

"Big... handsome!"

"Haha... Go back to the city, by the way, remember to notify Zhang Long and Chen Shou to come see me later."

…………

The county mansion, Jinlin Court, inside the study.

Nie Zheng stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, while Chen Shou and Zhang Long stood with their heads down on the left and right.

Nie Zheng looked at Chen Shou indifferently, and asked, "The brothers who protected me last night, how are their injuries?"

Chen Shou cupped his hands and replied: "Except for Zhao Hu, all the others died of poison."

After finishing speaking, he silently lowered his head, feeling very disappointed, because among the dozens of casualties last night, there were six snipers that he spent countless efforts to train, all of them were generals under his command, and The force that Nie Zheng relied on the most.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's expression was also gloomy. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "It's a good burial! When the time comes, hand over the list of casualties to me. I will take good care of their families and take care of them."

Chen Shou nodded, but remained silent.

Seeing that he was so decadent and disappointed, Nie Zheng couldn't help holding back his inner desire to speak.

Originally, Nie Zheng was going to reprimand Chen Shou carefully. He spent so much effort in equipping these snipers with so many high-end weapons and equipment just to let Chen Shou cultivate a group of excellent snipers.

But judging from last night's situation, among the snipers, except for the crippled Li Yan, the rest were unqualified.

A giant bat with a wingspan of more than four meters, and a group of snipers equipped with thermal imaging scopes, no one except Li Yan noticed its existence?
If it hadn't been for Li Yan's early warning at that time, if he hadn't been calm-headed and unflappable looking for an opportunity to shoot, he might have been a corpse.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng sighed secretly, and said to Chen Shou: "Chen Shou, you will take a pair of people out of the city to be responsible for watching the wind and spying on the news. I will inform you when you will come back."

"Yes, handsome!"

Looking at the back of Chen Shou's dejected departure, Nie Zheng shook his head and sighed secretly: "This son is embarrassing..."

Turning around slowly, looking at Zhang Long who had been silent all this time, Nie Zheng asked, "I asked you to lead someone to seal up all the mansions left by the nobles of Da Yue in the city. How about it? Did you find anything valuable?"

Zhang Long shook his head and said: "There are a lot of valuable antique jades and other things, but the gold that was copied is not a lot. It is estimated that those Da Yue monkeys took all of them when they ran away."

Nie Zheng nodded, and said: "As expected, gold in troubled times, gold in troubled times, only gold is the most worthwhile thing to carry in times of war, and everything else can be discarded. The people of Dayue understand this. Reasonable. By the way, Zhang Long, you were not injured last night, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Long shook his head, looking a little frustrated.

Seeing this, Nie Zheng couldn't help asking: "Why are you so unlovable like Chen Shou?"

Zhang Long looked up at Nie Zheng, and murmured, "Captain Chen was very disappointed last night. He said that you might not trust him again in the future."

Nie Zheng was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that Chen Shou's mind would be so sensitive.Wei Wei was silent for a moment, and said: "What nonsense, by the way, how is Zhao Hu's injury?"

Zhang Long said sadly: "Hu Zi was kicked by that thief last night and broke three ribs. He was seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't recover in half a year."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's heart tightened, he took a deep breath, and said, "From now on, you don't have to worry about anything, just stay with Zhao Hu every day and take good care of him for me, no matter how many precious medicinal materials you need, directly Just go get it."

Zhang Long nodded, still bowed his head in frustration.

Seeing this, Nie Zheng couldn't help frowning and said, "What exactly are you thinking? Why are everyone dying, can you cheer me up? Where did the lively Zhang Long go?"

Zhang Long slowly raised his head, looked at Nie Zheng sadly, and said slowly: "Master, do you think Zhao Hu and I are useless?"

Seeing him calling himself the master, Nie Zheng's heart trembled, his expression eased, and he said softly, "Why do you think so? Why?"

Zhang Long's eyes flickered, as if he was recalling some unforgettable things, and he murmured: "Zhao Hu and I grew up in Heifengzhai with the big master. At that time, the old village master taught us martial arts and said that we would In the future, the two of you must take good care of the young master, and we will not let you have any accidents. Therefore, Zhao Hu and I swore since we were young that we must use our lives to protect the safety of the young master. I still remember when I was young, the young master went to dig out bird nests from trees , in order to prevent the young master from falling down, Zhao Hu and I lay down under the tree as a meat pad for the young master. The young master was going to the Houshan panda cub, but the mother bear chased him all the way, and Zhao Hu and I fought hard to stop the young master. Dangjia managed to escape, even though we were scratched by the female bear that time, Zhao Hu and I were very happy because we have the ability to protect Dangjia.

Later we grew up slowly, and the young master also became the big master, and we also followed the big master down the mountain to do business, went to Wanhualou to drink flower wine, once, when the big master was doing business in Wulizhuang, In an ambush, the three of us fell into a horse pit more than two feet deep, and the enemy's pursuers were about to arrive. Zhao Hu and I gritted our teeth and stepped out of the human wall, sending the boss out of the horse pit , even though we were caught in the end, we protected the master Zhou Quan.In the past, Zhao Hu and I were very confident, thinking that as long as we were by Da Dangjia's side, we would be able to protect Da Dangjia's safety and not cause any accidents to Dadangjia..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Long took a deep breath, looked at Nie Zheng with tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "However, since the head of the family walked out of Heifengzhai, we were horrified to find that your steps are getting higher and higher, surrounded by There are more and more people around you, and Zhao Hu and I can't reach your heels no matter how high the human wall is, we can't protect the big boss now, and the big boss doesn't need it anymore We protect, I am afraid that one day, the head of the family will be farther and farther away from us, so far away that it is difficult for us to even see you, the head of the family..."

Zhang Long's words suddenly made Nie Zheng's nose a little sour. Nie Zheng took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and then walked quickly to Zhang Long, holding him tightly. Hugging him, feeling the corner of his twitching mouth, Nie Zheng patted him on the shoulder, and said in a firm tone: "I am your young master, and I will always be your young master, and you are my followers, so I will always be your young master." My follower..."
