Chapter 83 A family that collides with ghosts

No, as they saw more and more soldiers wearing armor, a look of solemnity appeared in the eyes of both Li Kuan and Kong Yingda.

This is not a normal situation for soldiers.

These soldiers are obviously bandaged, and their armors are too neatly worn.

The armor is neatly dressed, and it is obvious that he has just come off the battlefield.

Kong Yingda has never seen the situation where bandaging can be completed just after coming down, and Li Kuan has not heard from Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong.

Northern Privateering Team, Li Kuan and Kong Yingda had this idea in their minds at the same time.

At this time, both Li Kuan and Kong Yingda realized that something was wrong.

In the government office, Yu Zhining was circling anxiously, surrounded by a group of embarrassed middle-aged men in armor, who seemed to be waiting for something.

Li Kuan and Kong Yingda walked in without waiting for the announcement. Yu Zhining was stunned when he saw the two of them, and forced a smile. He immediately realized the reason for their coming, and said awkwardly: "Explain later."

Li Kuan and Kong Yingda looked at the armored middle-aged people sitting in a room, some of whom were familiar figures in Chang'an City. Looking at their gloomy expressions, they immediately knew what their situation was. They were defeated.

However, Li Kuan and Kong Yingda were puzzled as to why they had not received news that the northern privateering team was going out alone.

According to the rumors they heard before, the privateering team they formed had 20,000 people. How could there be no rumors at all?

This situation is wrong.

Not long after, Chai Shao walked in with the embarrassed Lu Jing and a group of aristocratic family members.

The middle-aged man in armor who was originally in the room stood up one after another when he saw Lu Jing and the aristocratic children behind him, looking around among the aristocratic children, looking for his own children.

Li Kuan sat aside and watched this scene coldly. After they all sat down, Li Kuan slowly said: "How about three hundred mercenaries?"

Hearing Li Kuan's voice, Lu Jing noticed Li Kuan, who was just covered by the armored middle-aged men, and smiled awkwardly: "We will pay the pension in small amounts."

"Ten times the pension."

Li Kuan spoke unceremoniously.

Chai Shao had a gloomy face and sat directly next to Li Kuan without saying a word.

Those aristocratic families who wanted to say something were all suppressed by the armored middle-aged men, preventing them from speaking.

Lu Jing agreed without even frowning.

"Okay, ten times the pension is ten times the pension, and we will send it to the Youwei army."

Li Kuan and Chai Shao's faces looked better now.

Although I don’t know exactly what happened, I can still make some guesses.

After the armored middle-aged men from each aristocratic family brought all the sons of their own families to their own side, Lu Jing led a young man who still had a gentle smile on his face and blood on his body to sit down with Li Kuan.

Opposite, the locations are all added immediately.

After everyone was seated, Yu Zhining clapped his hands, and someone immediately served hot meals.

Lu Jing, a middle-aged man in armor, and the sons of the aristocratic family did not care about their image at this time and ate the hot meals directly after seeing them.

Overeating and binge eating.

Only the bloody young man behind Lu Jing can still maintain his image as a son of an aristocratic family and slowly eat up.

Faced with this situation, Li Kuan was a little confused.

Chai Shao explained in a low voice beside him: "After coming down from the scene and experiencing life and death, the pressure is too great. The best way is to eat hot food."

"A bite of hot food can make people feel like they are still alive."

Li Kuan nodded.

Kong Yingda next to him was frowning at this time, as if he was in a bad mood, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

When everyone had almost finished eating, tea was also served, and everyone on the opposite side was asked to drink the tea. After their complexions had almost recovered, Yu Zhining asked people to take away the food, and then slowly said with a gloomy face: "Everyone, you are very good.

If you know how to play, the caravan turns into a privateer, buying weapons at the steel factory with the weapons purchase documents issued by the court, and then laundering the weapons of the prairie caravan to cover up the fact that you have secretly hidden weapons."

"If it hadn't been for your accident this time, we wouldn't have known that you have hidden weapons that can arm an army of 20,000 people."

Yu Zhining's words made Li Kuan and Kong Yingda instantly understand that this was the case. This group of people had already abandoned the team on the grassland. At first, they disguised themselves as a caravan and pretended to be doing business. After getting the privateering license, they purchased it here at Shuofang Iron and Steel Factory.

After receiving a batch of weapons, we pretended that we were complying with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. When the procedures on the Tang Dynasty were completed, the caravans on the grassland turned into privateers and robbed them directly.

Beautiful, this is definitely not something that can be completed in one day.

Li Kuan thought that this group of aristocratic families might have been preparing for this day for a year.

Otherwise, the connection would not be so perfect.

Lu Jing faced Zhining's questioning without changing his expression, showing no fear. Having restored his noble temperament, he gracefully put down his tea cup and said sarcastically: "Who hasn't done something illegal yet?"

"As long as the general direction is good, it is normal to make small changes."

Yu Zhining fell silent. If the other party said this, then the matter was beyond the scope of his handling.

There is no way to discuss his identity with the other party.

At this time, the only person with enough identity here is Li Kuan.

Sighing, Li Kuan also understood. He also put down his tea cup, looked at Lu Jing, and asked: "Master Lu, I'm not just talking about it. Please tell us what happened this time so that we can have an idea.

By the way, how about we pay double compensation for the losses suffered by Shuofang’s army during this expedition?”

In Li Kuan's eyes, it was useless to discuss laws with the group of aristocratic family members opposite. Their family was among them when the laws of the Tang Dynasty were compiled. They knew the loopholes in the laws better than anyone else.

Moreover, in the feudal era, sometimes it was better to talk about morality than to talk about law.

Lu Jing thought about it and realized that Li Kuan didn't want much, so he agreed, and then began to describe the incident.

Their original plan was to obtain a privateering license, plunder a batch in the grassland, and sell the stolen goods to make up for the losses during Shuofang's liquidation.

The result is that there are too many calculations, and I bump into ghosts when walking at night.

They met Ashina Sher.

At the beginning, with their excellent weapons, armor, and good command, they plundered several tribes. Who knew that these tribes were all under the name of Ashina Sher.

The result is very simple. The leaders of these caravans are very strong and can fight well. Some of them have military backgrounds, so it is no problem to command four to five thousand people.

But Ashina Sheer is better at fighting, and he leads the tribe's elite cavalry.

If the caravan hadn't all had horses and riders, and if Chai Shao hadn't rescued them immediately after getting the news, they would have died.

Ashina Sheer is not a good person either. When he saw the cavalry of the aristocratic caravan, he immediately shook them off.

The grassland is the base camp of people, and Ashina Sheer can move people faster.

At the same time, Jieli didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked all the tribes to go out to search for the Tang people on the grassland.

Lu Jing and others who were preparing to borrow a way to the Western Regions were also surrounded.

After describing this procedure, Li Kuan commented that these people were just walking around at night and bumping into ghosts.

They are well prepared.

There are four or five retired generals who can command four to five thousand people. The soldiers under their command are all in their prime. Each one has a suit of armor. Every hundred people can be equipped with a retired centurion.

In terms of configuration, the army transformed in this way can theoretically fight more than the raiding teams in Lingnan.

The result was that nothing happened when plundering small tribes, it was smooth sailing.

The tragic part is that they ran into Ashina Sheer, the big ghost on the grassland.

Even if a second-level Taoist priest has attribute blessings, he can't defeat a level 20 ghost, and Ashina Sheer can also defeat people.
