It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Sanchapu connects Nanyun, Zhuxian and Dushan towns respectively, and has very convenient transportation.
It is normal for people and cars to come and go in broad daylight.
However, this time they were not ordinary merchants, but regular cavalry, more than thirty in total.
Leading the group were two young men and women.
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, he looks noble.

Seeing villagers fighting on the road, the man in brocade clothes pulled the reins of his horse.

Just a glance at the scene gave me a general idea of ​​the situation.

There is no doubt that the man surrounded by the crowd holding the carrying pole is the owner of the two fish baskets.

The girl standing by the roadside, looking quite nervous, I wonder if she is the fishmonger’s sister or his young wife?

As for why the fight?

More than ten people were holding weapons, they must be locals from Sanchapu.

Why do I judge this way? Uh, based on common sense,
If outsiders were to attack the locals, they would have been attacked by the townspeople long ago;
Judging from the current time, the fishmonger must have come into town to sell fish and had a conflict with the local thugs.

So the fishmonger took the little girl away.

However, the local rascal who had suffered a loss was unwilling to give up and continued to harass him...

I have to say that the man in brocade clothes has a very strong logical thinking.
With just one glance, the inference was almost right. It's so smart, really so smart!

The lady in fancy clothes stared at Lu Yuan.

Pay attention to his body movements and fighting skills, watching with great interest,

One against ten, in the countryside,
It is rare to see such a skilled fighter.

The hooligans from Sanchapu could never get away with anything from the fishmongers from other places.

Therefore, the more they fought, the more frustrated they became.

Some simply fell on the roadside and pretended to be dead, while the ruffians who had suffered losses,
They adopted a cautious strategy and tried their best to stay out of the attack range of the carrying pole.
At this point, the fight could no longer continue.

Lu Yuan didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he just "learned from the Overlord"
He stood by himself on the side of the road, carrying a carrying pole on his shoulder, looking like he was ready to help.

The hooligans couldn't swallow this humiliation.

However, I am not as skilled as others and I can only continue to endure.

The young man who led the group,

He glanced at the cavalrymen who were close at hand and discussed with his companions in a low voice.

Soon, they reached a consensus and decided to "go all out".
But according to convention, it is only natural to say a few harsh words before leaving.
"You stinky fishmonger! Get out of here!"

"Remember this, if you dare to come to Sanchapu again, I will beat you up every time I see you!"

"Humph! If it weren't for the sake of the military master, I would have made you pay..."

As they spoke, these people supported each other and tried to run away.
Unexpectedly, the lady in fancy clothes shouted:

"Wait! Don't leave in such a hurry!"

The hooligans were startled and looked at the cavalry with complicated eyes.
Someone cleverly asked, "Sir, what do you want me to do?"

The lady in gorgeous clothes said with a smile:

"What did you just say about 'giving face to the general'? Actually,

There's really no need, we're just passing by, it won't be too late to stop by after you guys have finished fighting each other!"

uh~~
The hooligans almost fell to their knees.

Auntie, can't you see?

This wasn't a fight, it was clearly him beating us all unilaterally...

The clever ghost said with a bitter face:
"How dare we act insolently in front of the general?"

"It's alright! You are innocent.
Hit me as much as you want, hit me as much as you want, you can’t not hit me!”

???

The rascal was full of black lines on his head... What does 'he has to be beaten' mean?
? ?
Lu Yuan and Shen Danfeng heard this,

I couldn't help but look at "Brother Mengjiang". Which side are you on?

The hooligans were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to cause trouble for Lu Yuan.
I dared not disobey the cavalry leader's wishes, so I just stood by the roadside like a telephone pole.
It seems that something is wrong.

Some smart rascals beg for mercy directly.
"Sir! We were just joking with this friend..."

The woman in gorgeous clothes urged her horse forward a few steps, stared at the man and asked:

"What are you talking about? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

The ruffian was frightened by the soldier's murderous aura and stammered:

"I, we were just joking, playing..."

"Snapped!"

The shrewd man was immediately hit on the face with a whip.
From the right cheek to the left cheek, a white whip mark is clearly visible.
The person who was whipped immediately fell to the ground and rolled over.

"Ouch! It hurts... it hurts, it hurts..."

This was beyond Lu Yuan and Shen Danfeng's expectations.
This heroic female knight really changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book!
Actually, this is not without reason.

Three months ago, in order to completely suppress the "Zoroastrian riots", Qilabang hired a "foreign rifle team"
After defeating and killing most of the Zoroastrians, the foreign rifle team retreated and returned to the port of Nisi on the eastern coast.

Although a large number of "Zoroastrians" paid the price for their ignorance,

However, the church's top leaders still have a fairly large "base".
Therefore, unwilling to accept defeat, he made a harsh statement:
"As long as the holy fire is not extinguished, revenge will never cease!"

This shows that the Zoroastrian leaders insist on taking the general line of violently overthrowing the government!
In this case, the ruler of Qila State would not tolerate it.

Immediately adopt the iron-blooded method of "fighting violence with violence" and recruit militia to completely encircle and wipe out the Zoroastrians.

A month later, most of the influential Christian groups

They were all attacked and slaughtered by the city defense forces and the militia.
The leader of the Zoroastrianism and the list of 108 "playing cards" were all "executed and beheaded in public".
This incident marked the end of the Christian riot.

After dealing with Zoroastrianism, the leader of Qira was shocked.
His decrees could not leave Qila City, and the militia of the Eighteen Towns had become too powerful to be controlled.

The prince was shocked and angry.

He began to turn to "cutting down the feudal lords" and wanted to disarm the militia.

Well, this is in line with the selfish spirit of the super 2.0 version of "killing the donkey after it has done its job".

However, although Zoroastrianism did not succeed, the people had sharp eyes.

The Qila city defense soldiers who indulged in drinking, gambling, and smoking were not as strong as the third-rate "fake army idiots".

Therefore, the policy of “cutting down the feudal lords” could not be carried out at all.
What's even more terrible is that local tyrants are gradually showing signs of banding together for warmth.

This group of cavalry is the one who controls the Zhu family of Zhuxiantai.

The man in brocade clothes, Zhu Yingjun,

The woman in fancy clothes is his sister, Judy.

The purpose of their coming was to intimidate the person in charge of Sanchapu.
They united with Zhuxiantai in order to strengthen the power of the two families and jointly resist the "reduction of vassal power" by the state lord.

It is called a "union", but in reality it is just a merger of the big fish eating the small fish.

That is why the Zhu brothers and sisters were so rude to the thugs in Sanchapu.

It would be best if I could stir up some trouble.
Otherwise, how would they have an excuse to provoke trouble?
The scoundrel fell down, and Judy would not miss the opportunity, and immediately shouted:
"How dare you curse? This is disrespectful to our Zhuxiantai. Come on, arrest them all!"

The nine hooligans were terrified and immediately ran away.

But how can two legs outrun four legs?

A dozen cavalrymen from the Zhu family militia rushed out and captured them in minutes.

Judy had no interest in messing with the hooligans.
She urged her horse to go, came to Lu Yuan, looked at him, and asked:

"What's your name and where are you from?"

"Shen Beixuan, from Nanyun Chihe Village..."

Judy pointed to the fish basket on the roadside and asked:

"Are you a fisherman?"

Lu Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he lowered his head and replied:
"I farm at home, and catch some fish and shrimp to sell when I have time... I just want to exchange it for some oil and salt..."

Judy looked at Lu Yuan again, then at the group of hooligans.
“Are they going to take your fish?”

"Ok!"

"You're fighting so many people by yourself, you're pretty good huh?"

Lu Yuan quickly said:

"Countryside tricks, not worth mentioning, please forgive me, sir..." "Countryside tricks? Why do I feel that they are more powerful than the killing skills in the army?"

Lu Yuan sighed secretly, there are no fools in this world.

Although when the cavalry arrived,

I have already concealed my weakness, but the other party still saw through it.
"When I was a kid, I followed the wandering Taoist priest.

I learned a little bit, but the rest... I really don’t know.”

"Ha ha!"

Judy suddenly laughed wildly and said:

"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you...

By the way, why don't you stop farming and fishing and become my personal soldier, with food, shelter, five insurances and one housing fund provided!"

Lu Yuan was speechless.
I forgot to check the almanac when I went out today. There were hooligans in front of me, and I met the queen behind me?!

Although he was very skilled, cavalrymen were completely different from thugs.
Not to mention that they were fully equipped, even the male leader had a rifle across his saddle bridge.
Even if we could kill them all,
There must be a large group of people behind them, so it’s better to have less trouble than more.

"Master, I have parents to take care of at home, and a younger sister to take care of..."

Fortunately, Zhu Yingjun didn't want to delay his work.

While giving orders to escort the ruffians forward, he urged his sister,
"Let's go, into town!"

Judy turned to look at her brother and agreed crisply, "Come right up!"

She turned back to Lu Yuan and said:
"Since we have met by chance, we are friends.

Go home and think about it, and come to Zhuxiantai anytime and tell me my name, Master Zhu Jiu!"

After saying this, he flicked the whip and rode his horse to catch up with the team.

call!
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure from this lady on him was quite great...

Don’t stay in the land of right and wrong for long!
I quickly picked up the fish basket and hurried back with my sister.

Zhu Di and Zhu Yingjun rushed into Sanchapu with murderous intent and came to the gate of the militia leader's courtyard.

"We at Zhuxiantai originally had good intentions.
Is this how you guys in Sanchapu treat your friends?"

The leader of the Sanchapu militia, surrounded by the militiamen, came out trembling with fear and asked the reason.
The strength of the two sides was so different that he couldn't stand up.

"Oh my! It turned out to be Master Zhu and Master Jiu... What happened to make the two of you so angry?"

Judy sneered:

"Not only did your people rob my friend, they also used rude words.
We respect you as our senior, tell me, how should we deal with this matter today?"

The leader of the Sanchapu shop was furious when he saw the bruised and battered rascal.

Why did these damn little bastards mess with the people of Zhuxiantai?

However, he is the boss of Sanchapu.

You can't turn your elbow outward, you can only speak softly with a shameless face.

"How precious are the two young masters?
It’s not worth getting angry over these filthy people. I’ve prepared some simple food for you to eat while we talk…”

In fact, the two brothers and sisters of the Zhu family were just looking for an excuse.
Since the other party did not deny it, there was really no need for them to bother with these small fry.
Zhu Yingjun laughed and said:
"Since the senior has asked for mercy,
As the younger generation, we still have to give this face, let him go!"

The cavalryman shouted coldly: "Get out of here!"

If the ten ruffians were pardoned, they would immediately scatter like birds and beasts.

Entering the chieftain's courtyard, the three of them sat down at the table.

After the pleasantries, we gradually got to the point.
Zhu Yingjun asked seriously:
"My father asked us to ask,
"Isn't it time for you to make a decision on the alliance between the two families that we talked about a few days ago?"

The leader is a tyrant in Sanchapu, and he certainly doesn't want to be dependent on others.
So he said vaguely:
"What your father said is of course very good, but it is difficult to satisfy everyone in Sanchapu.

Could you please wait a little longer and allow me to persuade them one by one..."

Judy sneered and asked, "So, the seniors are in favor, but the others are against it?"

The leader said casually: "Well,

I can’t say I’m against it, it’s really a big deal and I need to think about it carefully…”

Judy put down her glass and said sharply:

"We respect our elders, so we give them advice again and again.

If you keep shirking your responsibilities, are we really going to resort to violence?!"

"No, no! My two lords, I really don't mean that..."

Zhu Yingjun directly held down the rifle beside him and asked:

"I came here today with only one question: Do you agree or not with the alliance?"

"or……"

Hehe, this old rascal, does he think we are easy to bully?

Zhu Yingjun raised his gun with one hand and pointed it at the forehead of the leader of Sanchapu.

"Please forgive my rudeness, my father ordered my brother and I to invite you to stay at Zhuxiantai for a while!"

The two soldiers behind the leader were dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that Zhuxiantai would kidnap the leader in broad daylight...

Collecting money from people and helping them get rid of disasters,
They were about to draw their swords,

But Judy waved her right hand, and the long whip immediately strangled a man's neck.
He drew out the flower sword with his left hand and thrust it into the heart of another soldier with just the utmost precision.

"Don't move, or you'll get stabbed and even gods won't be able to save you..."

The leader of Sanchapu knew that once he went to Zhuxiantai, he would never come back alive.

With no other options, I could only nod my head.

"Don't be angry, my two lords. We can discuss everything. Alliance, we are willing to form an alliance!"

Zhu Yingjun said with a smile:
"Hey! It would have been much easier if you said this earlier!

If I accidentally fire the gun and injure my senior, I will be guilty of a great sin..."

In order to avoid any more trouble, the Zhu brothers and sisters immediately forced the leader of Sanchapu to hand over the military power.
Sanchapu has a permanent population of 2,000 and a militia of more than 120 people.
Zhuxiantai is a large town with more than 5,000 residents and 300 young and strong militiamen.

According to Lao Zhu's plan, once he controls the leader of Sanchapu,

So he asked Zhu Di to take half of the soldiers from Sanchapu and return to Zhuxiantai immediately.
Then he took a hundred Zhuxiantai militiamen and rushed to Sanchapu.

In this way, Zhu Yingjun had 120 people under his command, which was more than enough to control Sanchapu.

In troubled times, the eighteen towns of Qilabang,
We have entered an era of mergers and acquisitions among powerful individuals, with the big fish eating the small fish and the small fish eating the shrimps happening every moment.

According to the more fashionable saying: The quick hand gets the reward, the slow hand gets the reward…

Many weak people in power will basically not have a good ending!

After Zhuxiantai took Sanchapu, Lao Zhu began to weigh Dushan Town and Nanyun Town.

Dushan Town has mines, medicinal materials, mountain products, and a strategic location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Nanyun Town is close to Bangcheng, densely populated and relatively wealthy. It is said that there are two or three hundred militiamen.

In short, these two places are tough nuts to crack.

Which one is better?

The next day, after sending a hundred soldiers to Sanchapu, Zhu Di came back and saw Lao Zhu frowning and thinking hard.
Curiously asked: "Dad! What difficulties have you encountered?"

Old Zhu dotes on his youngest daughter, Old Nine, the most. He said with a smile:

"Xiaojiu, what do you think we should do next after we take over Sanchapu?"

"Of course, we must add some sand to Sanchapu to completely control it..."

"Well, what happens after you take control?"

Judy understood and asked, "Dad is asking who the next target is, right?"

"Well, Dushan and Nanyun, what do you think?"

Judy said without hesitation: "If it were me, I would beat him..." (End of this chapter)
