Chapter 217: The County Lord Runs Away
The county seat of Ruian County.
The swarming pirates drew out their sharp knives. They gave out ferocious smiles and slashed towards the crowd with their blades.
How did the defenders of Ruian County know that a group of pirates would launch a surprise attack?
By the time they reacted, the long swords were reaching their bodies. The long swords of the pirates and Japanese slaves had already dyed the land near the city gate red.
There are sounds of running, shouting and crying everywhere...
Chaos was like a plague, ravaging the entire Ruian County.
The calm and peaceful city turned into a hell on earth almost in the blink of an eye.
Pirates and Japanese slaves quickly occupied Ruian County near the city wall. They were like poisonous snakes spitting out snake messages and wreaked havoc toward the center of the city.
"Run, run!!"
"Run!" A feeble cry came, and against the firelight in the night, the ferocious smile of the Japanese slave warrior suddenly appeared.
Like a ghost wandering in Ruian County, the long knife fell mercilessly.
Blood was scattered all over the floor!
"Daddy, daddy..."
The young man cried. He never imagined that his father, who had smiled and said he wanted to find a wife for him yesterday, would fall into a pool of blood so easily.
Yesterday, his voice and appearance were still there, but now his father was lying in a pool of blood.
The fallen father's eyes widened with anger. How he hoped that his child could avoid the long knives in the hands of these bandits.
But before his consciousness was about to blur, a ferocious Japanese slave man holding a long sword walked towards his trembling child step by step.
Everything came to an abrupt end!
The father shed a tear and glared at the pirates.
He hated these beasts that took everything from him.
The tragedy was staged throughout the city, and the pirates used the most cruel methods and their most skilled methods.
The slaughter terrorized the entire city.
They come for money, and they also come for killing.
For these inhumane pirates, the only option is to slaughter the entire city.
Only then could they easily wipe out everyone's entire life's wealth.
At this time, Li Dingguo went to Luyang Academy without stopping.
Hearing the screams from Ruian County, Li Dingguo's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
He is just a person, just a martial artist who is proficient in martial arts.
Even if he rushed to fight these pirates, it would be nothing more than a moth flying into the flame.
He has people close to him and people he wants to protect.
Therefore, no matter how sad Li Dingguo felt, he still had to rush to Luyang Academy.
"stop!"
"Who is yours?" A voice came from behind, and a Japanese slave wanderer discovered Li Dingguo's whereabouts.
They held long knives and came slowly towards Li Dingguo.
Has it still been discovered?
Li Dingguo held the weapon tightly in his hand, and when the two Japanese slaves approached, he violently revolted.
"Those who want your lives!" Li Dingguo slashed with the long knife in his hand, ending the life of one of the Japanese slaves.
Blood spilled all over the floor, and Li Dingguo's right hand trembled slightly as he committed murder for the first time.
But at this time, the anger he was filled with also disappeared as the long knife fell, and as the Japanese slave man fell down.
"Bagya Road!" The other kid was shocked by the scene in front of him, and was extremely angry.
In his opinion, the people in Ruian County have turned into pigs and sheep behind closed doors waiting for them to be slaughtered.
Now that pigs and sheep dare to resist, how can he endure it?
Waving the Japanese slave sword in his hand, the Japanese slave hunter headed in the direction of Li Dingguo and killed him.
In the Wonu Kingdom, these ronin were all good at fighting in the flames of war.
For the sake of wealth, they are willing to risk their lives.
Therefore, this man's fighting ability is also extremely strong.
But faced with Li Dingguo, who has been practicing martial arts for many years and dreams of becoming a general.
He is still a little behind!
After a short struggle, Li Dingguo had calmed down. The long knife in his hand cut off the head of the Japanese slave rogue at an extremely tricky angle.
The long knife was put away, and there were pirates in the distance who heard the sound of fighting and walked quickly towards this side.
Li Dingguo gasped and disappeared into the night.
…
Just as Li Dingguo rushed to Luyang Academy, Zhang Cheng and others gathered the crowd at the Lu family mansion.
The new county magistrate of Ruian County is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
How could he have imagined that the former county magistrate Chen Sizhi had been in charge of Ruian County for several years.
It's always been safe and sound, nothing happened.
And he had just taken over Ruian County, but the pirates were so bold that they dared to attack Ruian County.
"My lord, my lord!"
"The pirates have rushed over. They have completely controlled the situation. What should we do?"
A patrol inspector said to the county master in a panic.
In the Dasheng Dynasty, each county generally had three or more inspection masters.
Inspectors are ninth-grade military attachés, and each inspector has an armed force of 80 people.
These people are responsible for security patrols, hunting for thieves, etc. The three patrols are stationed at three points in the county jurisdiction.
There is only one inspection point in the county.
When Chen Sizhi, the former magistrate of Ruian County, was in power, Ruian County used to have five inspection points, each with more than 100 armed forces.
Among them, three inspection points are permanently stationed in the county. This is also a response measure taken by Chen Sizhi to guard against pirates.
After Huang Tinghui warned Chen Sizhi, Chen Sizhi even organized a lot of reserve armed forces.
With the three inspection points and these armed forces, Ruian County has a garrison force of about 500 people.
But as the saying goes, "the three things a new official needs to do when taking office".
After the new magistrate of Ruian County took office, he felt that patrol inspections were consuming a lot of financial resources, so he abolished two patrol inspections.
He believed that Ruian County was very safe, so he disbanded the civilian armed forces.
This guy has an elm-shaped head. He probably got stupid from reading books about sages.
After dismantling these armed forces, he even wrote a statement to the Ministry of War to impeach his former county magistrate Chen Sizhi for raising private soldiers.
Naturally, all the money saved after dismantling these armed forces fell into the pocket of the county magistrate in front of him.
It can be said that although the former county magistrate Chen Sizhi was not an honest and good official, he was definitely a capable official.
As for the current magistrate of Ruian County, he is a complete greedy idiot.
"Ask me, what should I do?"
"Of course we have to stop these pirates. If the pirates can't be stopped, both of you and I will lose our heads!"
"Go away quickly!" the county magistrate yelled.
Although the inspector looked ugly, he did not dare to disobey the county magistrate's order in person.
He could only hum in a low voice, "Yes, sir!"
Then, he immediately walked out.
To fight against those vicious pirates with an armed force of 80 people is simply to hit an egg with a stone.
But inspections can only act according to orders!
Seeing the man leaving, the servant of the county magistrate came out of the darkness and said, "Master, are we really going to be buried with this city?!"
"Are you kidding? How can they stop the wolf-like pirates?"
"Hurry up and collect the gold and silver. The pirates are ferocious. They will definitely massacre the city!"
"We can't stay here any longer!" the county magistrate ordered without hesitation.
Although this idiot has no abilities, he is aware of the ferocity of pirates.
Therefore, he did not want to stay in the city even for a moment.
"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order from the county magistrate, his servant quickly packed up some important things and prepared to run away.
