After Cao Si was dealt with, Zhang Chong and others rushed to the arsenal without stopping.

The arsenal is located in the northeast corner of the city and is directly an independent small dock wall, with strict guarding and close defense.

At this moment, the gate of the arsenal was closed, and the remaining arsenal officer looked at the group of people below with a nervous look, and asked tremblingly upstairs:

"Who are you?"

Zhang Chong said aloud below:

"The thief entered the city, and the Lord of the Mansion asked me to quickly set up the arsenal to suppress the thieves. This is the official seal of the Lord of the Mansion."

The arsenal officials upstairs were suspicious, and they said to the chief of the warehouse:

"The exchanges are all the talismans of the Duke, so why did you send the official seal?"

Just as the head of the warehouse was about to speak, there was a close arsenal from there saying:

"This further shows how anxious the Duke is now and how difficult the situation is."

This made the arsenal nod.

Actually, do you think the chief of the arsenal doubts about the group of people below? That must be suspicious! He is not really stupid.

But the chief of the arsenal thoughtful, he was so scrupulous.

If the person below is true, it is definitely correct to open it. If he doesn't open it, it is a serious crime. Because there is obviously a procedure and he does not abide by it, it is a crime. At that time, with the delay in military information, he will definitely be punished by the official king Ming Zhengdian.

If the person below is fake and he doesn't open it, he will definitely attack it, and then he may even lose his life. And what about him? Afterwards, the entire arsenal was plundered and he has no responsibility at all. Why? Because he is doing things based on the regulations.

As clerks like them, don’t use your brain to do things, but use rules to do things.

The arsenal chief’s way of being an official was not figured out by himself, but his arsenal chief told him when he was an official.

He still remembers what the old chief of the arsenal said:

"When Emperor Guangwu, there was a story. It was the thirteenth year of Jianwu. The country was already an emperor. It went out to hunt, but it didn't return to the city until midnight. At that time, the country planned to return from the East Gate, but Zhi Yun was guarding the East Gate at that time. This man was famously upright and upright, and very iron-headed. Originally, the country wanted to enter the city gate, and let you go if you let it go.

But guess what, no matter how the country calls, Zhi Tietou just doesn't open the door. The country had no choice but to let the people below go to the other end of the city gate and let Zhi Yun pick up the crack in the door to recognize people. Logically speaking, the country is very good at this person, but what this person said, it was too dark and could not see clearly, and then he refused to let go. In the end, the country still couldn't enter through the east gate. He went around in the dark gate and entered the city from the east gate. He said that Zhi Tietou was not awesome.

The next day, the country did not ask Zhi Yun for trouble the next day, so it just pretended that the matter had been turned over, but Tietou himself wrote a letter to persuade him. It was not a blessing for the country to hunt so late. What do you think about this? The country not only rewarded the 100 Tietou cloth, but also sent the marquis who let him into the city last night."

Finally, the old arsenal official said meaningfully to him:

"You understand. As long as you follow the rules, you can't make any mistakes."

Emperor Guangwu may never have dreamed that he thought that he would be interpreted by the clerks below in his praise of Zhi Yun's spirit of loyalty to his duties.

Afterwards, a hanging basket was placed in the arsenal, and Zhang Chong asked someone to put the official seal in it, and then waited calmly.

In about a moment, the arsenal gate opened wide, and the arsenal officials, led by the warehousing chief, came out to welcome Zhang Chong and others.

Zhang Chong and others rode their horses into the warehouse like this, without any fear of the scene. They also directed the people in the arsenal to help load all the armored guards.

When the chief of the arsenal saw these people coming in, he felt that it should be true. He was about to come up to talk to Zhang Chong, when he saw Zhang Chong grab a bamboo piece from the bed, and then he said to the officials of the arsenal:

"Whoever you have a pen? Go, hurry up and get a pen."

Seeing that no one moved, Zhang Chong's face immediately pulled down.

When the arsenal saw that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately kicked someone beside him and asked him to find a pen quickly.

As soon as the pen arrived here, Zhang Chong leaned against his horse and wrote an order on the bamboo piece. Then he threw the bamboo piece to the chief of the arsenal and said:

"This is a new order. You go and bring all the craftsmen from the workshop next to me. The thieves need them to repair their armor and weapons, and they also need them to escort these baggages."

But who knew that the arsenal had his head lowered, and his feet were stuck at this moment, and he remained alive.

Zhang Chong snorted coldly, raised the whip and placed it on the military captain of the arsenal, and said coldly:

"Didn't you hear it?"

Even with his head down, the chief of the arsenal could feel the strong murderous intent behind this sentence. His hands were shaking. Suddenly, he raised his chest and looked straight at Zhang Chong, pushed the bamboo slip to Zhang Chong, and said righteously:

"I heard it, but it doesn't work, because the order is not stamped."

Zhang Chong was stunned for a moment, then looked at him carefully again, and suddenly showed his face:

"A good person is a good official. Yes, a talisman without seals is useless, he is a person who understands the rules."

As he said that, Zhang Chong took out the seal of Jinan Prime Minister, and poked it on the bamboo slips with the original thin mud on it.

In this way, a sealed talisman takes effect.

When Zhang Chong threw this talisman to the arsenal again, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this person. Then the arsenal director didn't say much, so he hurriedly asked someone to gather craftsmen next to him and act according to the order.

The arsenal officer who gathered craftsmen did not get the specific instructions from the head of the warehouse, so he took his own initiative and all kinds of things were transferred. Anyway, he just escorted a armored machine and had the strength to do so.

Therefore, bamboo strip craftsmen, bricklayers, knife craftsmen, armor craftsmen, needle pullers, carpenters, and carpenters were all gathered together, and the people who came to the arsenal to help Zhang Chong shipped armor and equipment together.

As time passed by little by little, the arsenal director became a little anxious when he saw these people moving.

He moved to Zhang Chong and said stutteringly:

"Emistress, how many armored battles do you need? You can't move anymore. No more cars. How tired are you from behind!"

The arsenal officials behind him were ashamed of seeing their timidity. But they soon became reluctant, because they saw the person on the opposite side who had already pulled out their swords and put them on the neck of the arsenal.

At this moment, the chief of the arsenal will not shake anymore, and the knife on the opposite side can be held firmly. If he shakes again, he will have to have a bleeding hole in his neck. He smiled embarrassedly and said:

"What's going on with this envoy? He's going to get the knife. Put it down, let it go quickly."

As he said that, his hand was about to lift up and push the knife on his neck away, but the knife stood firmly on his neck. Now the Arsenal was angry and was about to scold him when he saw the knife in Zhang Chong's hand retreating and then the head of the Arsenal was cut off.

Now the arsenal officials knew what was going on, but no one dared to resist because they were surrounded by these cavalrymen.

Zhang Chong shook the blood stains on the knife and said only one sentence:

"I tied up the people next to each other, covered my eyes, and then started to turn around. Whoever dares to stop will die."

The arsenal officials were in agitation, and one of them asked in a bold voice:

"This Kui, we don't have any cloth or ropes, and we can't tie it up."

The one next to him happened to be Xi Shen. He laughed, then waved his sword and tore his clothes directly. Then Xi Shen pointed to the cloth shovel on the ground and said with a smile:

"Isn't this happening?"

Finally, these arsenal officials were finally stripped into pigs, tied their hands, covered their eyes, and began to circle around. Until the rippling sound of the wheels stopped, they fainted on the ground and breathed a long sigh.

After all, he saved his life, and after all, the chief of the arsenal resisted everything.

Just as they reached out to take off the blindfold, a cough sounded, and everyone was stiff. Until a long time, no one dared to take off the blindfold.

Later, there was enough time, so Zhang Chong went to the household again and plundered the money he had to count this year. They didn't count the specific amount. Anyway, they had sixty boxes filled with gold, silver and copper.

Then Zhang Chong returned the grain warehouse and allowed the Guizhou leaders in nearby houses to move them at will, but he could not take away these things.

Finally, in the darkness, Zhang Chong brought three hundred large carts and more than six hundred craftsmen, under the banner of Dongpingling, and followed the straight road to Mount Tai.

Because of the official seal of Jinan Prime Minister, Zhang Chong continued to dispatch cattle, horses, carriages and supplies along the way, and regarded this as a marching training.

And no one has ever suspected Zhang Chong along the way. Some careful village officials, when they saw the deep ruts, knew that the things contained there must be gold.

But because everyone is smart, they all remain silent and think that it is their own arrangements. But when Zhang Chong led the team to a hill east of Tugu County, he encountered someone who was not smart.

——

Among the dead people, Xun Yu slowly woke up. He tried hard to open the dead bodies on his body and quickly breathed the air.

After a little slowing down, Xun Yu got up with difficulty. He was now in pain, as if the three horses were not hitting the city gate, but himself.

He looked around him and tried to recall it, but he felt a split headache. He had no choice but to sway out of the city gate, and the dazzling sunlight shone in, causing him to feel dizzy for a short time.

It took him a while to recover his vision, and this time he was stunned.

At this moment, the East Street was full of corpses, flags and weapons could be seen everywhere. And the houses on both sides of the street were crying from time to time, and the soldiers and thieves could be seen coming and going. In the distance, in the direction of Cao Temple, you could still see black smoke. He felt nervous, thinking about his father who was studying in the building.

Xun Yu saw a group of soldiers wearing Fu family robe coming from the south of the city. He hurried forward and was about to bow when he saw that the team of soldiers was the aide he had invited for his father, King Beihai Xiu.

When Wang Xiu saw Xun Yu's actions at this moment, he was shocked and then silent.

When Xun Yu asked what happened, Wang Xiu didn't reply for a long time, but just bowed deeply to Xun Yu and lamented:

"Mr. Xun, please feel sorry for me!"

After that, Xun Yu was silenced, and the whole world began to shake. He saw Wang Xiu say a lot again, but Xun Yu couldn't hear it clearly. He only had one thought now.

From now on, Xun Yu has no father.

Then he fell to the ground with a bang.
