Wanli 1592

Chapter 880 The Silent Xu Youqing
Ever since seeing Xu Nianzu's deathly head with his own eyes yesterday, Xu Youqing was terribly frightened.

He is not bad, after all, he once worked in Jinyiwei. Although he was the emperor's personal protector, he has never seen anything really dangerous. The most dangerous thing is that his chrysanthemum suffered a bloody disaster, but it was the emperor after all. What you want to do is also impossible.

It's not their turn to see the real blood. They are the children of everyone who can walk in front of the emperor under the shadow of their father. Only the real Jinyiwei will do it. Will not be left by Zhu Yijun's side to handle business.

Back home to take charge of housekeeping, although he holds a lot of power, all the housework in the family is well designed by Xu Jie. Whoever manages what matters has his own system. As the heir of the eldest house, he only needs to stick to the rules It can maintain the operation of the Xu family.

The power of the Xu family is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Once such a big family is in operation, the whole Jiangnan will be shaken.

So he didn't have a hard life. If he had to say it, that is, some Gaoliang disciples who went to the court for seniority and his companions, Jin Yiwei, who were under the shadow of his father, often chewed on his tongue, saying that he was the wife of Emperor Wanli.

Other than that, there really isn't much to say.

Therefore, when he saw death so close to him.First, I was stunned, and then I had a nightmare all night. When I woke up the next morning, I realized that I should not be stunned, but angry.

As the head of the Xu family, how could he tolerate such blatant provocations from others?

But when he wanted to resist, he remembered that the whole city was completely surrounded by Zhennan Army, and the military forces in the city could not protect him from breaking through the blockade and escape.

What should I do next?

What exactly does Zhennan Army want to do?
What exactly is Xiao Ruxun going to do?
What is the purpose of surrounding the city and not attacking it?

Xu Youqing couldn't figure it out at all. He hadn't heard any news in the past few days. He felt that he was deaf and blind now.

Get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and calm down. Just when Xu Youqing was going to appear in front of the public as the head of the Xu family to stabilize the situation, a few soldiers suddenly rushed in from the house, who seemed to be from the county government.

"Master Xu! Master Xu! The county lord wants you to hurry to the city wall! The army outside the city is blowing horns and beating drums! It seems that they are about to attack the city! They are about to attack the city!"

The entire Xu family compound suddenly became commotion.

Xu Youqing's wife was so frightened that she quickly supported the pillar next to her, and the rest of the scary people in the yard were all frightened and unable to move.

At this moment, Xu Youqing also heard the faint sound of war drums coming from outside the city.

Siege?

Xiao Ruxun stopped talking?

He wants to attack the city?

I have no grievances with him in the past, and we have no vendettas in the near future. We don't know each other at all. Why did he kill me?Why?
Xu Youqing really didn't understand.

But he quickly came to his senses. He knew that it was not the time for him to stay at home. If he stayed at home, everyone would know that he was timid and afraid, so the city would be breached soon. Everyone Death is inevitable, everything in his family, all their wealth will be cheaper for these warriors.

He has to go to the city wall, he has to show a gesture, at least a gesture is needed.

He gave instructions to the guards at home to stick to the courtyard wall and block the door of the house. No one except himself should open the door.

Wait for him to come back.

Xu Youqing strengthened his courage and asked if anyone in the family would go with him.

As a result, there is no such warrior as Xu Nianzu anymore, everyone has become a coward, and no one is willing to stand up.

Even if you die, there is a difference between early death and late death, isn't it?
Xu Youqing also knew that it was impossible for him to find someone willing to go with him, so Xu Youqing simply ordered Xu Shenqing and Xu Zhiqing to go with him.

Xu Shenqing and Xu Zhiqing felt that they had won the lottery, but the bad feeling was really unimaginable.

No matter what, you can't lose your prestige and lose face. If the Xu family wants to continue to maintain this kind of life, they must maintain their dignity. As the real master of Huating County, Xu Youqing must do this no matter what.

But when Xu Youqing arrived at the tower, he did not see the expected scene of a large number of enemy troops preparing to attack the city. He only saw a few soldiers of the Zhennan Army struggling two or three hundred steps away from the tower The bird guns in their hands.

Xu Youqing suddenly felt that he seemed to be being tricked, so he angrily questioned the Huating county magistrate who had been staying on the tower for a long time.

"This is the enemy attacking the city you said? Have you ever seen a dozen people attacking the city?!"

Huating county magistrate was quite frightened, and stammered: "They...they really... they really played the horns! They really planned to attack the city, but who knew that they only sent so many Personally, I don’t know why!”

Xu Youqing also knew that the county magistrate of Huating was not to blame for this incident, so he stared angrily at the dozen or so soldiers under the city.

"What are they going to do? Ah? Just a dozen people want to attack the city? No matter how good Xiao Ruxun can fight, how can he take down the city with a dozen people? He thinks that all his subordinates are heavenly soldiers and generals?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Zhennan Army soldiers below raising their guns towards the top of the city.

"They are going to attack the city!"

Xu Shenqing and Xu Zhiqing were taken aback and quickly backed away. Xu Youqing turned around and looked at the two useless family members with great dissatisfaction.

"Bird guns can hit seventy or eighty paces at most, and they won't be accurate beyond fifty paces. What are you afraid of? They are at least three or four hundred paces below the city. Unless they are Franc machine guns, they won't be able to hit at all. Are you afraid? Varied……"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Youqing suddenly swayed and fell straight on the ground. At the same time, two unlucky soldiers also fell to the ground on their backs.

Gunshots rang out, gravel splashed, and the people on the top of the city were stunned.

Xu Zhiqing and Xu Shenqing's eyes widened, watching Xu Youqing fall face down on the ground, a big hole was punched in the back of his head, blood was oozing out, and he was silent no more.

"ah----------!!!!"

There were extremely shrill shouts from the top of the city.

Under the city, ten flintlock gunners with accurate marksmanship completed a shot under the guidance of the craftsman. The craftsman who looked at the top of the city with a binoculars witnessed with his own eyes that a guy with his back facing out of the city was hit in the head by accident, and directly He fell and disappeared, obviously, he was beaten to death.

The remaining soldiers saw two soldiers on the city fall. Obviously, the test was successful. The guns in their hands really killed three people from such a long distance, and ten bullets killed three people. What an amazing aim!
Zheng Ying also rushed over on horseback. He also saw in the binoculars that a soldier had his head blown off with a single shot. Now there was nothing to doubt, and he immediately ordered the fusiliers to continue shooting.

"Give me a few more rounds, let them see how powerful the guns are in our hands!"

Zheng Ying laughed vigorously.
