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

People without thought, he must worry about.

Of course, this "consideration" is not just random thoughts.
Deductive reasoning is a more scientific method.

For example, when you see a falling yellow leaf, you know that autumn is not far away.

Lu Yuan made such a judgment based on two points.
A famous lady once said: Once you have tasted power, your fate is sealed.

The palace battles from ancient times to the present are all killings among relatives.
Shun imprisoned Yao, and Yu killed Danzhu's entire family.

Yi Yin imprisoned Taijia in Tong Palace. Three years later, Taijia escaped from Tong Palace and killed Yi Yin.

Hu Hai became the second emperor of Qin and slaughtered more than a dozen of his brothers and sisters. His methods were so cruel that they made people shudder.

The wise Khan, Xuanwu Gate, killed his brothers and imprisoned his father. In his later years, he even killed his own sons until there were only a few left.
In order to keep his position as emperor, Zhu Qijue imprisoned his brother Zhu Qizhen for eight years. After the Nangong Incident, Zhu Qizhen, who was restored to the throne, ruthlessly killed his younger brother and a number of important ministers including Yu Qian, who had made great contributions to the reconstruction of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that every replacement of emperors and powerful people requires wading through a sea of ​​blood!

Lu Yuan, who learned that the militia was rising rapidly,

Lu Yuan had no hope that Zhu Yingjun and Zhu Di could maintain their relationship in the future.

But, Judy was determined to get to the bottom of it, so he had no choice but to speak frankly.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Judy was stunned, thought for a moment and said:

"When the war is over, I will build a big manor.

I spend the whole day riding horses and hunting with my family and friends, enjoying myself..."

Lu Yuan nodded and continued to ask:

"When do you think we can stop fighting?

Or do you think your father and brother have any idea of ​​breaking away from Qilabang and establishing their own state?"

On this point, Lao Zhu is relatively reserved.

But Judy had heard Zhu Yingjun talk about this more than once.
The Zhu family wanted to occupy the entire Qila State, and my father had no displeasure or objection.
"Yes or no, what's the difference?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said:
“Some things, once started, can’t be stopped just because you want to…

Your family has captured Zhuxiantai and Sanchapu, the next step is to attack Nanyun, right?"

Judy stared at Shen Beixuan strangely.
"How do you know? Can you read the stars?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, took a sip of wine, picked up a small fish, and asked:
“Do you know how to catch the most fish with the least effort?”

Judy stared at the fish on Shen Beixuan's chopsticks and asked with interest:

"Tell me!"

"I will first run around the river, pond and ditch,
Determine where there are more fish and shrimp, and then go down to catch them, this way you can achieve 'more, faster, better and cheaper'!"

Judy nodded, but continued to ask:
"Although Nanyun is very rich, it is obviously difficult to fight. If things go wrong, both sides will suffer losses... right?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly.
"In the matter of Sanchapu, you two brothers and sisters turned the tables and played it really well.
At present, the powerful people in various towns in Qila State are fighting each other. If they are late, they will be late.

Rumor has it that there are many internal conflicts within the Nanyun Militia, but for you, it is just an appetizer!"

Judy stared at Shen Beixuan for a long time before she relaxed with relief.

"Why do I feel like Brother Shen seems to be happy to see my family's plan to take over Nanyun?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled:

"My family is just ordinary people. It doesn't matter who is the mayor or the lord of the state."

Judy suddenly remembered that she had gone off topic and asked again:

"Even if our family becomes the leader of the state, what do you think will happen next?"

"Your family will attack neighboring states like they are doing now, eyeing the position of county governor..."

In addition to the county seat, there are nine state cities in Jidong County.
For example, the four states of Dongpu, Puyang, Sanbao and Cangtai adjacent to Qila State.

Judy shook her head and smiled: "Is that so?"

She would not believe Shen Beixuan. Jidong County is located on the coast, and water transportation is extremely convenient.
The foreigners opened the port for sixty years, and many people made a lot of money here.

Therefore, Far East County is also known as the "Adventurer's Paradise".

The Zhu family is just a powerful family in the town.
It’s really too far away from the location of the Far East County Magistrate!
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"Three months ago, your family certainly didn't dream of becoming the leader of a state...

So, guess what your family's power will be like in three years?"

Judy was stunned. To be honest,
She doesn't have such big ambitions.

Being able to become the leader of a country means one is already a marquis of a hundred miles, which is enough to bring honor to one's family.

However, Shen Beixuan's words made her open the fog map for the first time.

What the other party said is correct. Although the power is not great now,
But as long as it continues to expand and takes advantage of its population advantage, it can easily annex its weaker neighbors.

There is no essential difference between the nine states fighting for a county and the eighteen towns fighting for a city.

After a moment's silence, she asked:

"As you said, after taking control of Far East County, will my family still plot for the throne of Tifa?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "You can draw inferences from one example, young girl is teachable!"

Judy smiled seductively and said:
"Then my father is the king, my brother is the crown prince, and I am the princess?"

"Well, that makes sense!"

"Tsk! If it were as easy as you say, there would be kings everywhere~~"

Lu Yuan picked up a piece of crystal braised pork, put down his chopsticks, and said quietly:
"Nothing is unachievable!"

Judy deliberately provoked him:
"I didn't expect your bragging skills to be more exaggerated than your fists and feet! Stop bragging!"

Lu Yuan did not argue, but smiled and drank with the other party.

Once again, bathed in the moonlight, Judy returned to Zhuxiantai.

I happened to run into Zhu Yingjun who was going out.

"Hey! Xiaojiu, I can't find you up here. Where did you go?"

"Hehe! I had a drink with my friends...

Uh, soon, dad will be the king, and brother will be the crown prince..."

Zhu Yingjun was confused and reached out to touch his sister's forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Have you drunk too much wine?"

"What! I'm not talking nonsense..."

Zhu Yingjun saw his sister was drunk.
She staggered and quickly asked the maid to help Judy back to her room to rest.

"Be careful, by the way, who is that?
Go quickly, ask the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup and send it to Xiaojiu..."

Zhu Yingjun didn't take his sister's drunken words seriously.

After all, there were more important things waiting for him to deal with in Sanchapu.

At midnight, Zhu Yingjun, along with his personal guards and messengers, rushed to the Sanchapu militia compound.
His deputy immediately stepped forward and reported:
"Just received news that the fourth person in Nanyun was killed by the number one!"

Ok?
In Zhu Yingjun's mind, a relationship diagram of the leading figures in Nanyun Town immediately emerged.

He asked carefully: "Is the news true?"

"No doubt about it. Number Four was beheaded and displayed to the public. His head was hung on the gate of the militia!"

Haha!

As expected, internal strife has begun in Nanyun Town!
It would be better for them to continue the chaos until we are fully prepared, so that we can capture Nanyun with half the effort!
"Okay! Keep watching and intensify the spy activities.

Don't be afraid to spend money, aim for number one, and it's best to induce them to fight!"

The Zhu family was watching closely, but Nanyun Town was not aware of it at all.
Due to the conflict of interests, the contradictions among the leaders gradually became public and fell into the abyss of fighting. In the Nanyun militia compound, swords were unsheathed, guns were like a forest, and bows were like a full moon...

Leaders No. 5, 6 and 7 felt threatened by the death of No. 4 and came together to demand punishment.

"Captain, what do you mean? You're just going to chop off the fourth brother's head based on a random crime? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"We agreed to discuss things together... this is really unkind!"

"If we can kill Lao Si today, we can kill everyone here tomorrow. We must not let this happen!"

Leader No. 1 showed no fear.
Nanyun Town has money and people, and a militia of more than 400 people.
Number One has hundreds of people under his command.

The No. 2 leader has more than 60 people, the No. 3 leader has more than 50 people, and the No. 4 leader has more than 40 people.
The rest are all twenty or thirty people, not a cause for concern.

He glanced at the three little shrimps and sneered:

"This guy has always bullied men and women and exploited the people in the village.
They were also plotting to seize power. Both squadron leaders knew all of this...

In the past, I didn't bother with him, but tonight, after drinking, he suddenly went crazy and stabbed me with a knife...

If my personal guards hadn’t risked their lives to block the knife, I’m afraid my head would have been hanging on the gate!”

However, since no one was at the scene, this statement is only one-sided.
Although there were indeed knife wounds on the body of the personal guard, who could prove that it was definitely No. 4 who did it?

However, number two and number three, each with their own thoughts, were worried that Nanyun would start a big fight, so they tried to smooth things over.
Even if No. 5, 6, and 7 are united, the general trend is not on their side.

After arguing until midnight, the situation was still a mess, and the three people left in anger.

Looking at the backs of the three people, No. 1 sighed deliberately.
"Alas, I wanted to illuminate the moon with my heart, but the moon only illuminates the ditch...

I believe you two are also aware of the current situation in Qilabang.
It has really come to a critical point. If Nanyun does not unite, it will be swallowed up by others!"

Number 2 and number 3 were smiling in their hearts,

You have the nerve to say that, why aren't we united?

It's because you have a monopoly on food and cotton, and you're the only one making all the money...

You enjoy the best of life, while everyone else is starving... It would be strange if you don't have any resentment!

However, No. 1's killing of No. 4 was too sudden.

The two families were confused about the details, and for a while they did not dare to quarrel with each other.

"I hope the captain can be impartial in the future. A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character!"

Then, number two and number three said goodbye together.

Number One heaved a sigh of relief and immediately gave the order.
Identify and examine the former militiamen under No. 4, and then use threats and inducements to eliminate them as quickly as possible.

And number two and number three, in view of the dire situation, had to test each other.

"Brother, come to my room tomorrow for a couple of drinks?"

Number Two hesitated for a moment and said with a smile:
"How about this, I'll wait for you at Xiaotaibai tomorrow at noon!"

Xiao Taibai is the best tavern in town. It is a public place and relatively safer.

The third brother knew that the other party had been traumatized by the experience of the fourth brother.
"Okay! See you then!"

It can be predicted that the leaders of Nanyun, who have lost their trust, will form a three-way confrontation.

Coupled with the fact that Zhuxiantai's spies are deliberately fanning the flames, the chaos will only get worse.

Day by day passed,

Zhu Yingjun and the Bangzhu family secretly formed an alliance.

The offensive measures against Nanyun Town are being implemented in an orderly manner.

With the support of the state leader, Zhuxiantai accelerated the expansion of its army, and its strength increased sharply to 800 people.

Of these, five hundred were in this city, and three hundred were stationed at Sanchapu.

According to the plan, once the war started, an all-out attack would be launched to kill the eight leaders of Nanyun and their trusted aides.

And Judy would sneak into Chihe Village every now and then.
He went to Shen Beixuan to drink and chat, and they even had a martial arts match with each other, and their relationship became closer and closer.

As I said, even if you raise a dog, you will develop feelings for it after a long time...

Suddenly one day, Judy was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
She rubbed her eyes and got up. She listened and felt that it was not the case.

I put on my coat and went out to the backyard, and hey!
I saw Zhu Yingjun leading more than a hundred people to practice the "three-stage shooting" of muskets.
Judy counted carefully, there were three rows in total, with ten musketeers in each row.
After the first row fired, they ran back.
The second row came forward with guns in hand, and this cycle continued endlessly.

And her brother Zhu Yingjun is serving as the commander.

Holding a command knife and shouting various slogans.

Because the Zhuxiantai soldiers were practicing for the first time,
Various unexpected situations occurred frequently, and there were always some stupid people doing something weird, which made everyone laugh.

Judy stepped forward, and Zhu Yingjun also noticed that his sister was watching, so he asked his deputy to take over the command.

Anyway, it's just shouting slogans, it's not difficult.

"Raise your guns, aim, and fire! Second row, move forward, raise your guns..."

He walked up to his sister and said with a smile:

"Dad bought thirty muskets... How do they look? Do they look OK?"

Dad didn't seem to have told her about it, but Judy didn't take it seriously.
After all, in the Zhu family, only Zhu Yingjun had a musket.
His marksmanship is not bad, and he always gets something when he goes hunting.

Everyone who does business knows that it is better to do business with the familiar than with the new. It is only natural to let the second brother lead the musketeers.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Zhu Yingjun opened a small wooden box on the table.

A small and exquisite silver-white metal object came into Judy's sight.
"This is called a pistol, also called a 'flower mouth pistol', and it was given to you by the prince!"

what!
This thing is not new!

Judy's eyes lit up and she was immediately conquered by the beauty of the machinery.

She took the Browning M1910 out of the box.

The perfect size, heaviness, and the cool metallic texture all made her excited.

"Brother! How do I use this gun?"

"Well! Watch carefully... I'll only tell you once!"

Zhu Yingjun took the gun and said with a smile,

He knew very well that his sister was very intelligent and had a photographic memory.

Disassemble the "flower mouth lever", explain the parts one by one, and then reassemble them.
He pressed seven more bullets into the magazine, and with a click, loaded them into the gun handle.

He handed the gun to Judy, pointed at the target in front of him, and said:

"When firing, the three points are in a straight line.
It's the eyes, the crosshairs and the target, you try it..."

Judy held the gun with one hand, aimed at the center of the target, and pulled the trigger.

"Snapped!"

The ammunition exploded quickly, and the powerful kinetic energy caused the muzzle to rise, and the bullet did not hit the target at all.

Zhu Yingjun smiled and said:
"Haha! Don't worry!
Slow down, pay attention to your center of gravity, and keep your balance..."

Judy had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, so she held her breath, aimed again and fired.

"Snapped!"

Fortunately, I hit the target, outside the ten rings,
This aroused Judy's competitive spirit, and she aimed and shot again.
"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

In the blink of an eye, the magazine was emptied, and the best score was seven rings.

In fact, Zhu Yingjun didn't want his sister to be a sharpshooter, but just a little toy for entertainment.

"Here, I give you both boxes of bullets.
You practice on your own, and when you’re done, I’ll go get it for you!”

Knowing that her brother was going to train a foreign rifle team, Judy waved her hands in disdain.
"Okay, go do your thing!"

After saying that, he pulled out the magazine and loaded bullets into it.
"Clap, clap!"

In less than two quarters of an hour, all sixty rounds of ammunition were used up... (End of this chapter)
