The tents of the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain are still the same, but there are no people moving around. Could it be that they have already come out and are on the way up the mountain?

Just when Tang Wen wondered where these officers and soldiers were going, suddenly a dozen figures emerged from the halfway up the mountain, and after a few glances up the mountain, they stopped again.

Seeing this, Tang Wen finally let out a long breath. He still worried too much. There were only a few thousand officers and soldiers, and the road up the mountain was so wide. He wanted to see how they charged up.

Tang asked everyone to be more vigilant, while returning to the village owners with ease. Just as he was about to say something reassuring to them, he suddenly caught a strange sound in his ears. The sound of wind is like the sound of falling from the sky, but how can there be falling rocks in such a high place?

Just when Tang Wen was about to turn his head to see what was making the sound, there was a sky-shattering explosion in an open space dozens of steps away from him. When this sound appeared in the ears of everyone, At that time, everyone was stunned, looking at the big kang on the ground with disbelief, their minds were full of inexplicable feelings, what was that thing just now?Why is there such a great power?

Fortunately, this landed on the open space, if it landed on top of everyone's heads...

Just thinking about it, I feel my little heart beating non-stop.

This time, no one paid attention to the officers and soldiers on the mountainside, and looked up at the sky in unison, looking for the fireball that might appear again.

After waiting for a while, no second fireball appeared. Tang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid. It was just an accident just now. It will definitely not happen again. Everyone should be careful down the mountain." Officers and soldiers are."

Just as Tang Wen finished speaking, the crowd suddenly panicked, and then someone pointed to the sky and said loudly, "Everyone, run, the fireball is coming again."

Again?

Tang Wen turned his head almost instantly, and then he saw the most incredible scene in the world, dozens of fireballs fell from the sky, and fell straight towards the cottage.

Is this the retribution for doing too many bad things?

How could Tang Wen have the heart to think so much, so he simply turned around and hid in a hiding place. Before he could hide, the fireball had already fallen, and violent explosions sounded all around him. For a while, the miserable shouts of the crowd were covered up, and when the explosion finally stopped, Tang Wen came out of his hiding place with a pale face. Looking at the hell-like cottage, he was completely completely foolishly.

At this moment, a village owner finally came to his senses and said in panic, "Could this be a new weapon for officers and soldiers? He clearly wants to kill us all."

"I don't care about you, I don't want to die here, I want to surrender, I want to surrender."

With the first one who surrendered, there was a second one who surrendered, but the most strange thing is that there is no one around them who can stop them. It seems that they are all frightened by the fireball. Think about your future.

At this moment, Tang Shanhu moved closer to Tang Wen, and said dejectedly, "Son, why don't we surrender too."

Tang Wen couldn't help but smile sadly: "Surrender now...it's too late."

Chapter 1142 Gone With The Wind

Chapter 1142 Gone With The Wind

While Tang Shanhu and his son were talking, He Jiaan, who was hiding at the foot of the mountain, had a conversation with Su Can. According to Su Can’s idea, he should try his best to appease them. Now, if I came forward at this time, they would probably come out with their hands bound. When I bring so many captives back to the capital, wouldn't it be another great achievement.

Unexpectedly, when I just told He Jiaan about this idea, he shook his head desperately at himself and clearly denied his proposal. Su Can didn't understand why you offered prisoners, Gu Dayong If you can offer prisoners, why can't you come to yourself?

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, He Jiaan ordered to continue firing, and pulled Su Can to the side, and when there was no one around, he said: "At this time and at that time, the one I offered the captives was the Japanese pirates, Gu Da. They are the remnants of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, but what are these people on the mountain? They are just a group of bandits. If you really bring them to the capital, the emperor will ask, why do you go up the mountain to be bandits? That is to say, I was so hungry that I couldn’t help it, and I was forced to die by corrupt officials, so I went up the mountain.”

"Think about it, if the emperor heard these words, how would he feel in his heart?"

After He Jiaan finished speaking, he patted Su Can on the shoulder, left him to analyze his words, and walked to the artillery side alone.

He left, but Su Can fell into a deep daze. He stayed by Zhengde's side all year round, so he naturally had a deep understanding of his temperament. According to his own understanding, the emperor is also a very narcissistic person. He thought that under his rule, the world should be extremely peaceful, there are no corrupt officials, and the common people live happily. Although some ministers know that the world is not like this, they dare not do this in front of the emperor. Said, so over time, the emperor always took what he thought was true in his heart.

He Jia'an offering Japanese pirates is a foreign enemy, and the emperor is naturally happy to save face for himself.

Gu Dayong offered captives, this is Liu Liu and Liu Qi brothers' momentum is really huge, the emperor needs two heads to restore people's hearts.

But what about yourself?

Just like what He Jiaan said just now, if these people were really escorted to the capital, the emperor would have to remove his officials.

It seems that everything needs a long memory. If there is no He Jiaan this time, his position will really be suspended.

After figuring it out, Su Can was no longer confused, and quickly came to He Jiaan's side and asked, "How many shots have you fired?"

"Three links." He Jiaan stretched out three fingers.

"There are too few three links, so let's make another three links." Su Can also made up his mind. He brought so many shells that he didn't plan to take them back. He planned to give them all to Jintangzhai.

After the six-pass cannon was fired, looking up from the bottom of the mountain, the entire Jintang Village looked like a place that had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years. There was no complete place at all, and no sound could be heard on the mountain. peaceful.

The guns could be stopped, and He Jiaan led Xie Qinhu to the halfway up the mountain in person, and after observing for a while, he led hundreds of officers and soldiers to Jintang Village.

As the slope slowed down, He Jia'an finally came to the gate of Jintang Village. The gate that was originally made of rough wood was only half left, and it was still dangling and might fall down at any time.

Before entering the gate of the village, a smell of roasted meat wafted out, He Jiaan couldn't help frowning, but Xie Qinhu asked more: "Why is it so fragrant?"

Then seeing He Jiaan's surprised eyes, he immediately understood how the smell came from, his eyebrows frowned, and he almost vomited out.

The power of the artillery is indeed not something that can be resisted by manpower. After six rounds of salvo, the entire Jintang village was beaten to pieces, with fallen corpses all over the ground, and there were one or two groans from some places. He Jiaan didn't bother Going to pay attention, I randomly found a few corpses, pressed their fingerprints, then turned and left. For myself, I can finally leave this ghost place.

The bandits have been exterminated. Although there are still many bandits on other hills, these people are no longer within the scope of He Jiaan's consideration. After all, there are so many bandits in the Ming Dynasty that he can't even count them. , maybe there are no high mountains in the entire Ming Dynasty. After handing over the rest to the nearby county magistrate, He Jiaan wanted to return to the capital first, and then go to Paju to take up the post, but at this time, another problem was placed on him before.

Xie Qinhu didn't want to leave.

Looking at Xie Qinhu with a stubborn expression, He Jiaan couldn't help but frowned, and persuaded again: "What's the use of you staying here? You have also seen that there is no future for being a bandit, even if you really go back So what if you can become the head of the village? Do you still want to think about when you can overthrow the Ming Dynasty like your brother?"

Xie Qinhu shook his head, with a complicated expression on his face, he glanced at He Jia'an reluctantly, and said slowly: "Master, it's not that I don't want to go with you, but if I go with you, the people in Liefengzhai will What should I do with the old and the young? No one leads them, and they will soon be bullied by people from other villages. I don’t want to see such a scene, so I decided to stay.”

What a stubborn girl, she doesn't know what's good about this mountain, she must stay here.

No matter how He Jiaan persuaded, Xie Qinhu was determined not to leave. He Jiaan really had no choice but to say: "Well, since you insist on staying here, I will let you stay here, but we can say Well, within a year limit, you should cultivate a successor to the cottage as soon as possible. When the time comes, you have to follow me, otherwise... Have you seen Jintang Village? I will use cannons at that time Blast your Liefeng village to the ground and see where you go."

Xie Qinhu could also tell that He Jiaan was just scaring herself, but she was still a little surprised that He Jiaan could let herself stay, looked at He Jiaan tenderly with eyes she had never seen before, and then slowly poked into his arms , murmured in a low voice: "Going thousands of miles, there are many dangers, my concubine is not with my husband, so my husband must be more careful, and don't forget the one-year agreement."

Listening to the beautiful woman's soft words, He Jia'an felt a little uncomfortable. He gently stroked Xie Qinhu's beautiful hair, and said the same way: "I have so many people to protect me, what are you afraid of? It's only because you stay here that I want to protect you." Be careful, don't be too impulsive in everything, don't take risks when you let others do it, and if someone tricks you into rebelling, don't be fooled by him."

"Pfft." Xie Qinhu laughed out of nowhere, breaking the sad atmosphere immediately. After the two of them said a few more words, they finally separated slowly.

He Jiaan watched as Xie Qinhu got on his horse and ran towards Liefengzhai. He sighed softly until he could no longer see her figure. Before he could feel the separation again, he looked aside Su Can, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, came over, snorted heavily, and said dissatisfiedly: "I advise you to think about how to explain to my sister after you go back."

Chapter 1143 The Great Shame

Going around in a big circle, he finally returned to the original starting point. When He Jiaan looked at the capital that was getting closer and closer, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. This trip took almost two months, and he ended up even in Paju. I didn't see it either, and I don't know if Su Hongxiu and the others have got the news now, they must be very anxious.

It was not until he was about to enter the city that Su Can told He Jiaan that although the news of his disappearance had been reported to the capital, Chen Yueying was not notified. Uneasy, seeing that there are only two months left to give birth, there can be no mistakes at this time.

He Jiaan didn't have any complaints about this. Instead, he felt sorry for Su Can's concealment. He just didn't know how to explain it when he went home and saw Chen Yueying. He couldn't say that he wanted his wife. .

The army quickly entered the city. After entering the city, someone led the army back to the station, and He Jia'an had to go to the Leopard Room with Su Can to face the saint first.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way, just when the two people were standing outside the Leopard Room waiting for the report, Zhang Yong came out in a hurry, lowering his head when he was about to walk around the two people. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed He Jiaan, and he stopped immediately, and asked quite unexpectedly, "Master He, when did you come back?"

Seeing that it was Zhang Yong, He Jia'an quickly saluted, and said with a smile: "He Jia'an has met Mr. Zhang, General Su and I have just entered Beijing, and we are waiting to face the saint."

"Oh, that's how it is." Zhang Yong nodded and said: "It's good that Mr. He is safe and sound. Long Live Lord is fine at this time. He should send someone to summon you soon. If there is something else to do in the miscellaneous family, I will take my leave first." .”

"Eunuch Zhang, go slowly." Looking at Zhang Yong's hasty footsteps, it seemed that something troublesome had happened, and He Jiaan didn't mean to ask the bottom line. After the two waited for a while, it was just as Zhang Yong said, Then a little eunuch came out of the palace and greeted the two of them into the leopard room.
