Quan Yutianxia GL

It has to be said that Chuning's personal visit to the county this time really broadened his horizons.Not only did she see the anecdote that she had to pay a "capital fee" to enter and exit the city gate, she even encountered such things as blatant extortion of bribes.

If it was just her, Chu Ning, who was extorted for bribes in private, it would not be impossible to spend money to get things done, but now, in front of her subordinates, things are difficult to handle.

If they compromise, they will set an example for the guards and generals. If they are tough, they will have to fight each other, and it will be difficult to end.

No matter what, Chuning made up his mind to gain a wave of prestige first.

"My servant, Liu Changgui, is under the command of Chu Ning, the captain of the accompanying army." Liu Changgui said to the small officer guarding the city: "We are entrusted by Mr. Wang Yi of Huangxian County to escort Cai Zhenda and the tax and grain into the city. I also hope that the brothers will go." convenient."

The little officer was unwrapping a bunch of copper coins and putting them in his arms. Hearing what Liu Changgui said, it's not right to put the money in his hand, or not to let it go, and he heard his brothers pointing to those wooden boxes and saying He kept talking nonsense, and his face turned red like a pig's liver.

"Wang Touer, today's harvest is probably not enough to fill even one wooden box?"

"I heard that Ximen has collected four full boxes today..."

"If things go on like this, Mr. Wang, we will be at the bottom again this month..."

"The end of this month is the New Year's Eve, so how can you be the last one to report to Captain Gao?"

"That's right, brothers don't want to be whipped anymore..."

……

"Hey? Didn't someone tell Wang Tou'er just now that there are fat sheep coming into the city? Is it them?" A thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks leaned over to the city guard called Wang Lao Liu, his eyes shining brightly. Staring at the car tax money, he laughed a few times, and shouted: "Brothers, come and help."

With a greeting, the city guards who came one after another all gathered around, there were nearly a hundred of them.

"Brother Wang, these are all taxes and food from Huang County." Seeing how bold these people are, Liu Changgui glanced at Chuning, and after receiving the signal, his expression darkened, and he sternly said, "If you don't believe me, you can Go to Master Cai Zhen in the carriage at the back for verification."

Since setting off, Cai Zhen has been very low-key and basically said nothing. Seeing that Chuning and the others were blocked in this way, he ignored it and didn't even lift the car curtain to take a look.

The soldiers guarding the city heard Liu Changgui's words, but they were not afraid at all, instead they were full of spirits and momentum.

"Under Lieutenant Gao, Centurion Commander Wang Xuan of the Personal Guard Battalion thanked Mr. Cai for his cultivation!" The young officer quickly ran to the side of the sedan chair, bowed to Cai Zhen, and then said to Liu Changgui: "This batch of I will send the tax money and food to the county warehouse for you, and you can go back and pay the order!"

"But County Lord Wang has ordered that this batch of money and food must be delivered to Lord Cangcao in the county in person." Liu Changgui said.

"Really? Then come with me to see Cang Cao!"

Wang Xuan's face turned cold, and he finally showed his shackles, and ordered the guards to draw their swords out of their sheaths, intending to disperse the surrounding people.

Seeing this, Chu Ning knew that it was a good time to build up his reputation, so he said loudly: "Wang Xuan, you are a mere centurion, how dare you draw your sword against the captain? You know, the money and food escorted by the captain are all It is the tax that the imperial court urges to pay, if something goes wrong, the adults in the imperial court will pursue it, can you afford it?"

Wang Xuan didn't expect that at this critical juncture, a woman suddenly appeared, and immediately sneered, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my affairs?"

"This general is Chu Ning, captain of the accompanying army." Chu Ning smiled slightly, and then said coldly: "There are hundreds of thousands of cities in the world, but this is the first time for this captain to see that there is such a city gate. The place where the poll fee is paid... As far as I know, the imperial court has not set this rule, could it be that you waited for the villain to bully the people in the county without knowing the government, and deliberately came up with some names to collect money?"

Chu Ning said this very loudly, and the people around heard it and whispered to each other, and then there was a little old man with a shoulder and a shoe tied with straw, echoing what Chuning said: "Master Captain, in the past, the entrance and exit of this city gate They don’t charge money, but since Captain Gao came to the county town, not only do you have to collect money to enter and exit the city gate, but you also have to charge money for selling food, melons, fruits and eggs in the city..."

As soon as this remark caught his ears, Chuning immediately changed his mind - what the hell!The captain of the school is still burning a lot of money, you dare to collect business taxes here to scrape the people's fat, the money of being the captain of the school is so easy to get?What the hell Captain Gao, I can't beat you to death!

"Old man, when will Captain Gao arrive?"

"Probably early October."

"Has he been collecting these head fees since he came?"

"Yes, since Captain Gao came, all the city guards have been replaced by his own soldiers..."

……

Probably because they suffered a lot at the hands of Captain Gao's personal soldiers. With Chuning's kind and gentle questioning, these people immediately knew everything they wanted to say, and even which soldier took an extra egg from them. Waiting for things to be pulled out.

Of course, the reason why these common people are so cooperative is not because of Chuning's kindness, but because when Chuning introduced himself to them, he borrowed the titles of county guards and court officials. Conspiracies and tricks, only when someone comes to ask about their suffering, they will naturally cry.

Liu Changgui, who has been with Chu Ning for a long time, knew that Chu Ning cared about the people the most, and had already regarded this matter as normal, but Wang Xuan didn't take Chun Ning seriously at all. The common people mingled together, inquiring about the bad things that Captain Gao had done, alerted in their hearts, immediately shouting and sending people over to chase them away, hoping to make a quick decision and take down all of Chu Ning and others.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Wang Xuan's men hadn't had time to chase them away, but he himself flew out with three clear whips, and landed in the middle of his subordinates. When he was lifted up, the three whip marks on his right face It became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"A mere centurion dares to offend you? I will give you three whips to teach you a lesson! Why don't you meet Captain Chu soon?" Yanling Golem returned to the front of the guards' team, rolled up his whip, and sternly She glared at Chuning, very dissatisfied with Chuning's almost weak attitude.

Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment by Yan Lingge's sudden lashes. When he realized it, he was surrounded by his brothers and retreated to the gate of the city.

"Brothers, let me take it! Don't even think about leaving any of them today! I want them to look good!" He was originally unwilling, but at this moment, he turned into a roar with monstrous anger, wishing to swallow Chu Ning and others alive.

These city guards were originally soldiers under Captain Gao's tent, and they were all people who had seen blood on the battlefield. At this moment, they heard the order and held a knife in their hand. When they looked at Chuning and the others, their eyes were full of tyranny increase.

As a real war scumbag, Chuning has always been quite self-aware. As soon as he saw Yan Lingge make a move, he knew that the literary drama was going to turn into a fight, so he immediately turned his horse's head, hid in the middle of his team, and secretly gave Yan Lingge I clicked 32 likes - handsome!Simply handsome!If instead of three lashes, there were thirty lashes, it would be even more handsome!

Liu Changgui had already sent an order to the whole army to be on alert. At this moment, following Wang Xuan's roar, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Division strode forward, each carrying a large shield half the height of a person, and 12 people in each team lined up in a row. Three shield walls were listed.

Just as the first division made some moves, the second division also quickly cooperated, picked up their bows and set up arrows, and aimed at the defenders.

The defenders on Wang Xuan's side were all brave and courageous. When Captain Gao followed General Gu Wenxiong in the southern expedition, he relied on them to make great contributions. Even General Gu Wenxiong personally praised: "This is the most important thing for such a team." Brave and brave pawns are rare in the court, if this general raises one hundred thousand troops, he will shock the world and protect the peace of the court."

Because of Chu Ning, the female school lieutenant, these fierce soldiers looked down upon the tall, well-dressed but unknown private soldiers of the Weimin Army. Between the movement and the defense, the opponents had already lined up for battle, and their reactions were faster than those of them who had always been beheaded.

"Wangtouer, it doesn't feel right." The sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man looked at the situation on Chuning's side for a while, and stopped the defenders who had rushed a few steps away, and said to Gao Xuan: " Look at the weapons in their hands. The iron heads are sharp and straight. The guns are not like guns, and the spears are not like spears. They seem to have several grooves... and those shields are different from the ones we have seen before... Damn it! They covered it half a finger thick with iron!"

If it's an ordinary wooden leather shield, it's fine, it's commonly used on the battlefield, so you don't need to be so surprised, but the shield covered with iron skin is only available in the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army. Back then when Gu Wenxiong led his army to march south, the entire army of this kind of iron shield was only a few hundred.

But this female school captain who appeared out of nowhere unexpectedly picked out hundreds of faces at random!

Another city guard also exclaimed in a low voice: "Wang Touer, look at their bows...all of them are rare and good bows..."

You know, making a good bow is not an easy task. From material selection to bow making, every step is very strict. It usually takes three or four years to get a good bow.It is said that 22 years ago, in order to conquer Donghu, the current emperor spent ten years collecting bow makers from all over the country, but he only made more than ten thousand such good bows.

Looking at the dense forest of bows and arrows, Wang Xuan's anger gradually cooled down. He is a trusted confidant of Captain Gao, and he knows well that the weapons and equipment that Captain Gao's personal soldiers are equipped with today, such as leather armor, leather helmets and knives, are useful. , but such shields and good bows are hard to find.

So, what is the origin of this female captain who suddenly appeared?Not only are the soldiers so tall and strong, but even their weapons and equipment are so sophisticated. If the leather armor is replaced with iron armor, they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army.

But now that the sword has been unsheathed, the arrow is ready, and the bridge between the two sides has been formed, if he, Wang Xuan, gives up at this moment, not only will his beating be in vain, but he will also lose his reputation as Captain Gao. In the captain's ears, he was afraid that Wang Xuan would not end well.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuan made up his mind and said loudly, "This is the city of Donglai County. As the guards of the city, we have a heavy responsibility. How dare they resist? As long as they dare to resist, it is treason!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that it was reasonable, and when they thought of the so many copper coins brought in by this team, their hearts suddenly became hot, and they all screamed and rushed forward with their knives in hand.
