The young man shuddered, and the hand that reached into the water stopped. He stood up, slowly turned around, and saw that there was a little more light in the originally silent courtyard, especially the walls of the courtyard, which were lined with torches. A person
The old man stood on the roof, holding a phoenix-bill knife in his hand. Because the night was still a little dark, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, but it could be judged from his voice that he was disappointed.
"Ah Shan, it's you. I don't understand why you did this?"
Chang Yinxu was in a low mood. When he saw Chang Minshan, his whole body was like thunder, and his heart seemed to have been stabbed with a knife. Chang Minshan, who he had always entrusted with important tasks, actually broke into the Chang family with foreign enemies.
If it hadn't been for his preparedness, the Chang family might have suffered a catastrophe tonight.
Chang Yinxu was in a bad mood, and Chang Minshan was also shocked and scared. What he was afraid of was not that he would be exposed, but that he would die here. He was not a fool. Since the other party had already been prepared, there was a lot of fear in the warehouse.
There might be a trap, so I was not in a hurry to open the stone door of the warehouse at this time. Chang Yinxu, who raised his head and looked at the roof, slowly walked out of the pond. At the same time, Chang Minshan hit the people on the shore without leaving a trace.
A gesture.
"You asked me why I did this. Shouldn't I ask you this question? For more than ten years, I have worked hard for the Chang family, but what have I gained? But what about you? You know that Chang Minteng is not good, but you still want him.
Take on the important responsibility of presiding over the affairs of Zhangjiakou. Humph, isn’t it because he is your biological son? Have you ever thought about who would hand over the affairs of the Chang family if Chang Minteng died of illness one day? Chang Minteng still has no idea.
Heir, hum, but I still don’t have a chance. I can see clearly that no matter how good I am and how hard I work, I still can’t compare to that consumption guy..."
"Hey, it's better for you. It's okay to let a tuberculosis ghost take charge of the affairs of the Chang family, and let Chang Minyue take on the important responsibility. Chang Minyue is a prostitute, in the end, she doesn't make wedding dresses for others? Anyway, I have no chance,
Why can't you figure it out on your own? I believe that under my leadership, the Chang family will still be no worse than your consumptive son!"
Chang Minshan's expression was sinister, with a somewhat gloomy smile in his eyes. At first, he was relatively calm, but the more he spoke, the more excited he became. Perhaps it was because this resentment had been accumulated for so long. Once it was vented, even he himself had some control over it.
Can't live.
Chang Yinxu looked at the somewhat crazy Chang Minshan in surprise, gradually showing disappointment, and finally shouted: "That's enough, in your eyes, is your eldest brother just a tuberculosis ghost? It seems that you have made a decision.
Yeah, that’s fine too.”
"Big brother?" At some point, Chang Minshan had a knife in his hand and punched the knife on the ground. He laughed coldly, "Hahaha, I recognize him as my eldest brother, but who recognizes me? You also
Don't blame me. If you don't give me some things, I will find a way to grab them myself. But... I don't understand. Did you already know that I would lead people to sneak attack on the Chang family? "
"No," Chang Yin continued with a disappointed sigh: "I just think that since the gangsters are coming for my Chang family, are they the same for the previous mob? I had to be more thoughtful and let people stay behind Chang's house secretly.
At the back of our house. As a result, someone really attacked us, but I didn’t expect that the person leading the way would be you."
"That's it!" Chang Minshan pursed his lips and relaxed a little, then shook his head gently, "Although you are on guard, so what? Now you have to put most of your energy on the city, even if you have
I'm wary that there will be too many people staying here. And since I've done it, naturally I won't have only this few people."
Chang Minshan raised his eyebrows, raised his left hand, and pointed to the night sky behind him. At this moment, a red firework suddenly bloomed not far to the south, which was so sudden and gorgeous.
In just half a cup of tea, there were many more people on the streets around Chang's house. Due to the rogue bandits' attack on the city, the patrols were much tighter, but no one still knew where these people came from. Many people picked
Hooded, holding a sword and shouting angrily: "Holy Lord Jin Chan, protect all living beings, the fire is raging, grant me magical powers!"
Countless people chanted the same slogan, and they poured into Chang's house, causing Yuci County, which had just calmed down, to become chaotic again.
Chang Yinxu looked at Chang Minshan with great sadness. Hearing the screams coming from the outer courtyard of the Chang family, he roared: "Chang Minshan, you bastard, you actually joined a cult... Are you going to
Is my Chang family ruined?"
Chang Minshan kept silent, because his cold gaze was as sharp as a knife. If everything goes well, why would he want to see things come to this point? There are some things that there is no turning back. If you take the first step, it is destined to be life or death.
Good and evil? Justice? These are all bullshit. As long as you can survive victoriously, it is right.
Chang Yinxu commanded the young men of the Chang family to resist the followers of the Jin Chan Cult near the rockery, but things were a bit miserable in the outer courtyard. Everything was just as Chang Minshan said. In order to deal with the rogues attacking the city, most of the Chang family's men were sent out.
, after all, the number of people left behind in the Chang family is limited.
At this time, there was great chaos in the north city of Yuci. Xi Jingchao and Shanxi Commander Zheng Chun were shocked when they learned that someone was attacking the Chang family. If the Chang family suffered a disaster, the Iron Governor's anger would not bring the entire Yuci city to ashes.
Burning?
Although Zheng Chun is nominally the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province, only he knows how he actually came to be the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province. The position of commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province used to be a lucrative position, but now it is definitely a trap. Zhang Honggong was cut down before.
After losing his head, his successor Rao Yonghui was dismissed from office after only a few months. Now most people in the court believe that the post of Shanxi Commander-in-Chief is definitely a cursed position and no one wants to take it.
Come to think of it, there has been civil unrest in Shaanxi recently, and the rogue bandits have been very violent. Shanxi is the first to bear the brunt. The position of the Shanxi General Soldier is not easy to fill. However, in the north of Shanxi are the important border towns of Datong Prefecture and Xuanfu. The border troops do not listen to the Shanxi General Soldier.
As a soldier, once something happens, all the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi will have to be controlled by others. It can be said that as the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, not only will there be no one to gain from, but you may also be disliked by the border army commander at any time and throw you to the front line as a soldier.
cannon fodder.
Since Rao Yonghui was taken down, this position has been vacant for a month. Zheng Chun recently spent a lot of money to plan activities, but a certain fat guy was so unlucky that he was thrown to Shanxi by the people above. Zheng Chun
He knew how to settle accounts all his life, but he knew nothing about leading troops and fighting. He really regretted why he had had such evil thoughts in the past and wanted to spend money to climb up the ranks. He was promoted, but he was not here to enjoy happiness, he was here to lose his life.
He didn't know anything about the military affairs. When encountering troubles caused by rogue bandits and the Jin Chan Cult, Zheng Chun was just afraid. Just like now, the dignified Shanxi General Soldier is stationed in Yuci, but the real decision-maker is Xi Jingchao, a civil servant. Xi Jingchao despises Zheng Chun from the bottom of his heart.
, but he was the nominal boss, so he had to say anxiously: "General Zheng, it's late at night, and the bandits probably don't dare to attack rashly. We must destroy the evil cult and gangsters who attacked the Chang family as soon as possible. Once the gangsters outside the city are allowed to
Once the rogue bandits come to their senses and are trapped internally and externally, we really won’t be able to defend Yuci City.”
Although Xi Jingchao is a civil servant, he still has basic judgments. He doesn't know how to fight, but he understands that the chaos in the city must be eliminated as soon as possible, without giving time for the rogue bandits outside the city to react.
Zheng Chun's face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he asked a little weakly: "What if these evil cults and gangsters collude with bandits?"
"Probably not. If the Jin Chan Sect's rebellious party and the bandits are accomplices, then they should cooperate with the bandits to open the city gate now instead of taking the opportunity to go to the Chang family to cause trouble alone. Zheng Bing, don't hesitate, no matter what we think
Right? There is only one way to go now. Moreover, General Zheng, don’t forget, who is standing behind the Chang family? If the Chang family is really allowed to be destroyed by the rebellious party, do you think you and I can still live to see it?
Next year’s sun?”
Zheng Chun shivered unexpectedly, and his face twitched rapidly. When he thought of Tie Mo, Zheng Chun felt a sense of fear in his heart. In an instant, he finally made up his mind, "Master County Lord, no matter how you say we will fight, we can't do it."
Listen to you!"
"..." Xi Jingchao was speechless. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that Zheng Chun was deliberately shirking responsibility. Whoever directs the battle for such a big event will definitely take the blame if something goes wrong. But Xi Jingchao knows very well.
Zheng Chun doesn't have so many evil thoughts. This guy is really incompetent.
Under Xi Jingchao's dispatch, the three thousand soldiers and horses of the North City Camp suddenly evacuated and rushed towards the Chang family. At this time, the two streets inside and outside the Chang family were full of people fighting. The narrow streets were full of dead bodies and blood.
It filled the streets, and the fishy smell was soaring into the sky.
...
Outside Yuci City, watching the lights of Beicheng flickering, someone sent the news to Sun Kewang. Sun Kewang, who was sleepy, got up, looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt a little confused. Liu Wenxiu stood beside him, his brows furrowed, "
What's going on? Is there someone making trouble in Yuci City? Or are the officers and soldiers fighting among themselves?"
Sun Kewang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "How about we lead the troops to test it out? If something really goes wrong, maybe this is a good opportunity."
"No." Liu Wenxiu shook his head without even thinking about it, "It's also possible that the other party dug a trap to lure us into the trap on purpose. Don't rush now, we'll see later. It's late at night and it's inconvenient to attack the city. We'll wait until we figure it out.
It’s not too late to decide what to do.”
Liu Wenxiu didn't want to take this risk. For him, Yuci County was almost within easy reach, so why take the risk? If it was a trap, it would only add trouble and would only delay the progress of the siege.
But Liu Wenxiu's caution was not wrong, but his choice directly missed the best opportunity to capture Yuci County. At this time, Beicheng's defense was weak. If Sun Kewang led his troops to focus on the attack, Beicheng's existing defensive strength might not be enough.
It can last for two hours.
.......
In the Chang Family Courtyard, the once enviable mansion, there were fighting figures everywhere among the scattered houses and alleys. The followers of the Jin Chan Sect had a very clear goal. They abandoned the outer perimeter and went straight to the backyard, with the intention of
The wealth accumulated by the Chang family was removed in the shortest possible time. Chang Minshan had no reservations, so he bet that the supplies in the Chang family's treasury were still in the backyard. As long as the wealth accumulated by the Chang family over decades was taken away, he would win tonight.
Chang Minshan led his people to approach the rockery, suppressing Chang Yinxu's people so that they could not move, and the sounds of fighting outside were getting closer and closer. Gradually, the smile on Chang Minshan's face became brighter and brighter, and he chose this time to take action.
, is the most correct decision.
"Hahaha, Chang Yinxu, give up your resistance. Don't let my Chang family members suffer unnecessary casualties. Do you think anyone can save you at this time? The bandits are outside the city, and those officers and soldiers will not abandon the city at this time.
Come to save the Chang family..."
"Beast... what you want is money and supplies, why do you want to kill the Chang family children? They are your tribe..."
"That's enough, Chang Yinxu, you forced me to do all this. If you didn't think you were smart and just gave up your accumulated wealth, how could things have developed to this point?" Seeing that Chang Yinxu had no intention of giving in, Chang Min asked.
Shan's face was as gloomy as water, and he roared fiercely: "Protector Ling, rush over from the left yard and push my annoying wall..."
"King Changtian, please calm down. I will bring people over now..." The middle-aged man named Protector Ling did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered dozens of people to kill towards the courtyard on the left.
Finally, with a banging sound, the left courtyard wall collapsed, and more than twenty Chang family disciples were smashed underneath. The members of the Jin Chan Sect did not hesitate at all, and killed these people who had lost resistance.
"Hahaha, Chang Yinxu, have you seen it? This is what happens if you go against me...Listen, my people are getting more and more, and they are already killing me...Are you still here?"
Are you stubborn...if you..."
A very embarrassed guy rushed in and interrupted Chang Minshan's crazy roar, "King Chang Tian, it's not good. A large number of officers and soldiers have rushed over and have already entered through the main entrance. Brothers can't stop it."
"What?" Chang Minshan was stunned, his whole body was like thunder, and he forgot to put down his raised hands. How could this happen? How dare the officers and soldiers mobilize a large number of troops to assist the Chang family at this time? They are not afraid of the rogue bandits suddenly attacking at this time.
Attack Yuci City?
Protector Ling ran over in a panic, stretched out his hand and pushed Chang Minshan, and said anxiously: "King Chang Tian, give us an order quickly. If the officers and soldiers really trap us, we will be unable to fly. Brothers are still outside now.
Hold on, we will evacuate through the back door if we still have time... The right thing is to leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood... We can't hesitate..."
Chang Minshan looked deeply at the rockery not far away and the familiar person. He was really unwilling to accept it. He had been planning for today for six years, but in the end he fell short.
When I say the word "withdraw", it seems that all the strength in my body has been taken away, and at the same time, the energy and confidence I once had have been taken away. I really don't understand, all the plans are fine, why is this happening?
The Jin Chan Cult retreated as soon as they were told, and quickly fled from Chang's house. When Chang Yinxu came out from behind, what he saw was a mess. The ruined houses and the dead bodies, old and young, there were his uncles.
There are also younger descendants. There is a little grandnephew who was following behind during the day, talking and laughing, but at this time, he turned into a cold corpse.
The people from the Jin Chan Sect left, but Chang Yinxu felt a little bit relieved. Is this piece of rubble still the magnificent Chang Family Courtyard?
