Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 14 The local gentry in Sichuan and Shu raised [-] troops!
Shu Kingdom, Shuangliu.

"Your Majesty, please save us!"

"That's right, we've been respectful since you came, but now that the entire Shu kingdom has fallen, we're left with Shuangliu."

"People outside know that you are familiar with those people, please tell us about it!"

In front of the gate of Shuangliu Restaurant, a large group of gentry knelt down in black.

They all looked ashen, and kept shouting towards the inside of the restaurant.

It was a local gentry from Shuangliu County.

All the gentry in the Shu Kingdom were wiped out, and their entire families were killed. Of course, they became more and more afraid.

Now I see that the rioters in Chengdu have all gone abroad. They are still in the sphere of influence of the rioters, and they can't escape even if they want to.

So I came to Shuangliu Restaurant and begged bitterly.

Amidst their miserable pleadings, Li Ke, King of Shu, appeared in front of them in a white robe of Shengxue.

"If you want to leave, just go, pack up your belongings, and go to relatives."

"Those people are fighting, so I don't think it will make things difficult for you."

Li Ke said expressionlessly.

Originally, in his design, these gentry were going to die.

But the mouth is short for eating people, and the hands are short for grabbing people.

These days, the gentry in Shuangliu County can be said to be considerate, so Li Ke changed his mind.

After all, all they have to do is keep the land, and they can't take much of their wealth with them.

Just let them go.

"But, my lord, if we go out with the grain cart, those people will definitely die if they see it!"

shouted a gentleman with a fat face.

Li Ke frowned suddenly, his face full of disgust.

"You can't take the food with you. If you want to, then you can leave with the food."

"The king will send county soldiers to carry the flag and escort you out, so that you can be safe."

"As for the house on the land, you will have a chance to get it back sooner or later."

"If you have to take the grain truck with you, then the king will not be responsible."

"The relationship between them and this king is just for negotiating. You don't need to think about bringing the grain cart."

Li Ke said with a sincere look.

"hiss……"

"Can't you take the food with you?"

All the gentry present gasped, and then there was an uproar.

When the land is gone, the house servants must be gone too.

Even a large amount of copper coins cannot be taken away, only some soft gold and silver.

This will make them bankrupt overnight!
"If you don't want to part with your family wealth, then stay here. Anyway, Lord Changsun has already led his troops, and those rogue people will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Since you are not afraid to stay and accompany the king to die, why doesn't the king welcome you?"

Li Ke said again.

"Ah, the king of Shu is wise and powerful, and he will definitely be a blessing to the world!"

"That's right, we're leaving now. As for the money and food, I'll leave it to His Royal Highness the King of Shu!"

"Yes, I believe His Royal Highness King Shu will be able to keep Shuangliu!"

The gentry started to stand up and scatter, talking in a flurry of words.

"I'm sorry, you can't talk well, if you let you stay, you will run away, a bunch of idiots."

Li Ke looked at their various beings and smiled coldly.

"Your Highness, King of Shu, how should they deal with it?"

Li Tong secretly came to Li Ke's side and asked.

"How to deal with it? Of course, let them go out of the city and be ambushed."

"Let the militiamen pay attention, keep a few alive, and clean up after they find out the cellar where they hide the money."

Li Ke ordered.

There are no banks in this era, and banks charge fees.

Those gentry who cleverly robbed a large amount of people's wealth and anointment could only hide large amounts of copper coins in cellars.

Those cellars are usually very hidden, and it is not easy to find them if you want to find them.

Otherwise, future generations would not dig out one or two cellars full of copper coins from time to time.

"Understood His Royal Highness Shu Wang, the humble post will be done immediately!"

Li Tong bowed his hands and took the order to leave.

This former centurion of the Xuanjia Army has no psychological barriers to doing such things.

After all, the emperor agreed.

……

"Your Highness, King of Shu, your armor has been purchased."

When Li Ke returned to the wing room where he was staying, a man who looked like a butler brought a set of shining golden armor, a Fangtian painted halberd, and a six-stone strong bow.

Golden armor, shoulder pads in the shape of two animal heads.

This is very particular, and it is exactly the style of Lu Bu's armor in history - the animal face swallowing the sky chain armor.

However, in the late Han Dynasty where Lu Bu lived, the steel formula was still very backward.

The original version of the beast-faced sky-swallowing chain armor is nothing more than golden fish-scale iron plates.

And Li Ke's animal-faced sky-swallowing chain armor is no longer a scale armor made of leaves connected by ropes, but a whole piece of golden breastplate.

It is integrally forged with crucible steel, the thickness reaches half a millimeter, the outside has been carbonized, the surface is a layer of carbon steel, and then painted with golden paint.

A two-centimeter-thick inner lining was added at the back. After the inner lining was moistened with silk as thick as two quilts, resin glue was applied layer by layer, and then hammered to a thickness of two centimeters.

This layer of lining plus the plate armor, there is no problem in defending against modern pistols.

And behind the lining, a layer of cloth is added as a buffer layer.

Before Li Ke puts it on, he will also put on a layer of iron chain armor as the base armor.

Although it is extremely heavy, the whole set has reached sixty catties, but with Li Ke's physical strength after merging the martial soul, it can still be easily controlled.

As for Fang Tian's painted halberd, which is two meters long, the thinnest part of the blade is as thin as a cicada's wing.

The overall weight is heavy, and the steel formula is extremely reasonable, ensuring flexibility and hardness.

The trunk with the thick mouth of the bowl, if you go down with a halberd, it will be easy in half.

Then cooperate with the Arabian war horse brought out from the palace as the main war horse.

Li Ke's individual combat effectiveness has been strengthened to the point where an army of hundreds of people can easily enter and exit seven times.

And what is more than the beast-faced sky-swallowing chain armor is a golden ghost mask.

There is no way, Li Ke is still neutral in name, if he wants to fight, he must first hide his identity.

Even if the whole world knows it's him, as long as he keeps showing his true colors, no opponent can do anything about it.

"Your Majesty, there is new news!"

Just as he was admiring his brand new armor, Li Tong's voice came from outside the door.

"how?"

Li Ke frowned and asked through the door.

"Flying pigeons in Pi County have passed on a message that the local gentry in Sichuan and Shu have gathered more than [-] people to raise troops in Qingcheng in response to Changsun Wuji's crusade order."

"Their first target of attack is most likely Pixian County, which only has [-] militiamen."

"If we want to rescue, I'm afraid we have to set off today."

"Please also ask the king to get a charter."

Li Tong said.

"Hehe, all the gentry in Sichuan and Sichuan, in order to protect their wealth and lives, put out a mere 8 people?"

Li Ke suddenly smiled.
