Chapter 31 Adoption
Amidst all the misery, Pan Furong led the team and just hurried towards Dongchengfang.
Dozens of men and horses and hundreds of parallel-imported infantry were walking in the city, but no one dared to offend them.
A few officers and soldiers were killed along the way, and everyone arrived outside Dongchengfang.
Dongchengfang is composed of several streets and many small alleys. There are wealthy families, large business houses, martial arts schools, a large number of shops, and many ordinary people's homes in the square. It is obviously a piece of fat.
The leader waiting for Pan Furong outside the workshop turned out to be Qin Tong.
Maybe after being beaten by Chuang Potian, Qin Tong knew that it would be impossible for him to be with Pan Furong in the future.
He came over in low spirits, said a hasty hello, and explained the scope of Pan Furong's jurisdiction.
"Miss, I have put half a post outside your Dongchengfang area to guard it, prohibiting people from entering or exiting. Now that your people are here, I will order them to retreat."
This is It was only then that he was surprised to find that standing to the left and right of Pan Furong were Sister Hong and Lu Ye.
Sister Hong, personal bodyguard, Pan Furong's shadow, the person Pan Furong trusted most after the death of his seventeenth uncle Commander Du.
He can understand this.
Luye is nothing, he is just a talkative stable boy. How can he stand side by side with Sister Hong behind Pan Furong?
Qin Tong couldn't help but look at Lu Ye a few more times, with surprise and ferocity hidden in his eyes.
Pan Furong smiled when she saw this.
"Commander Lu, Captain Wang, come and see Commander Qin!"
"Commander Qin, let me introduce to you, this is my newly promoted sentry officer, that is his brother, who just Promoted to the management team!"
"The two brothers worked together to kill the patrol inspector. I will be rewarded for my merits, so I was promoted to their official position. What do you think?"
Lu Ye and Wang Hu were named by Pan Furong and could only salute Qin Tong.
Qin Tong’s eyebrows stood up, and his expression immediately stiffened.
He said that Pan Furong had clear rewards and punishments, but he felt resentful in his heart.
Today he was supervising the army under the city. He saw that the stable boy had good luck and worked together with the inseparable man to kill the deputy inspector of the county town, which was a success.
At that time, Chuang Potian ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and he subconsciously had someone ring the gong.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have withdrawn the troops at that time. If it had been delayed for a while, these two guys would have no reason to run back to the formation.
Not to mention meritorious service, he may have been unlucky and was shot by the officers and soldiers on the city wall. Whether he can come back alive is a question mark.
I am still too soft-hearted!
Qin Tong cursed himself several times in his heart. He obviously wanted to follow his uncle's instructions to enshrine the young lady on a high memorial tablet and cut off her female camp helper, but he didn't do it today.
Although his uncle told him not to hit Pan Furong again in the future, he did not dare to touch Pan Furong, but he dared to find a way to touch the people around Pan Furong.
Qin Tong said a few congratulations lukewarmly, turned around and left in a hurry.
Pan Furong arranged for everyone to occupy half of Dongchengfang.
Wang Hu secretly talked to Lu Ye.
"Brother, I think that guy Qin Tong looked at us wrong just now..."
Lu Ye looked at Wang Hu in surprise.
"Huzi, it's okay. You've also learned to watch his words and expressions. Why are you looking at him wrong?"
Wang Hu said excitedly after being praised.
"Then Commander Qin lost his previous enthusiasm for the eldest lady today. He stared at us for a long time."
"Huzi, what does this mean?" Lu Ye said.
“I heard that there is a man who doesn’t like women, but only likes men.”
Wang Hu slapped his hand, “Brother, could it be that Commander Qin has taken a liking to our brothers?”
Lu Ye was speechless, he knew he shouldn't expect too much from this martial arts idiot.
"Huzi, he doesn't like us, he hates us."
"Be more careful when you see him in the future!"
Pan Furong has already distributed his troops. Come.
She mixed the people and horses around her, divided the horse soldiers and infantry into three groups, and each of them was assigned a bamboo whistle.
A group of people wandered outside half of Dongcheng Square, intercepting the fleeing people and driving them back to the square.
At the same time, the Pan-character flag was also hung up to prevent other indifferent refugee troops from jumping onto the territory of the female camp.
A group of people followed her to visit several wealthy landowners and merchants in the village one by one, asking kind people to donate gold, silver, grain, grass and equipment.
Lu Ye, on the other hand, led the remaining group of people to roam around the square on guard, eliminating all dissenters.
Everyone suddenly agreed and dispersed inside and outside Dongchengfang.
There is a wealthy family in Dongchengfang with deep walls and two white jade lions at the door. The building is the most impressive.
A row of servants suddenly appeared on the wall of the large house. When they saw someone coming outside, arrows rained down immediately, shooting down the first few servants and a horse soldier.
Pan Furong was furious and waved her hand.
The cavalry soldiers behind them all dismounted and looked for cover to shoot at each other. They were all veteran soldiers, and their arrows were fast and accurate. They quickly swept away the servants on the wall like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
More horse soldiers used ladders to climb over the wall, and servants dragged half of the tree over, and together they carried it and crashed into the gate.
With just a few clicks, the door was knocked open, and the horse soldiers rushed in with swords and guns. A sharp roar immediately erupted from the house, mixed with the sound of weapons clashing, and the dull sound of sharp blades cutting into the body. Sound, mixed into a pot of porridge.
The door was opened from the inside by horse soldiers in a pool of blood.
Pan Furong stepped into the mansion with her head held high among the guards of many people.
When they attacked this house, her face was as cold as iron, and she watched her men being injured and bleeding without blinking. Now that they were attacked, she ordered her men to do less killing, and not to kill if they could.
Lu Ye didn't look any further. Following Pan Furong's order, he dispersed the remaining thirty or so horses into groups in Dongchengfang, calling out with bamboo whistles if anything happened. He patted Wang Hu on the shoulder.
"Let's go, brother, it's time to do private work!"
Wang Hu led two mules according to Lu Ye's instructions, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Brother, are we going to grab food?"
"I have thought about it, we can carry as much as these two mules can carry, and we will take all the food for next year. It’s enough.”
Lu Ye slapped him on the head, turned over and sat on the mule.
"Don't talk nonsense, what are our statuses now? Leaders of the rebel army, it's too cheap to rob food! What are you doing raising those servants?"
"Brother, what do you want to rob? Gold, silver and jewelry? Or rob women? ? Miss Pan said that we are not allowed to rob civilian girls!”
“Let’s go grab the white-bearded old man!”
As Wang Hu muttered, Lu Ye said Swinging the whip, the mule ran away, and Wang Hu hurriedly followed.
The two looked left and right along the street.
I saw many shops on both sides of the street, all with their doors closed. Occasionally, there were a few shops with their doors open, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor. It was unclear whether the shopkeepers had taken away the things themselves or had been robbed.
Lu Ye saw a sign hanging outside one of the shops, with an unfolded book page drawn on it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He got off the mule, came to the door of the store and tried to push it, and the top doorpost went up.
"Huzi, kick him away!"
Wang Hu roared, his skin turned bronze, and he kicked him.
Boom.
The door panel of this shop fell down.
Lu Ye strode in and saw that there was a library inside, filled with many books.
There is a table in the store that is shaking slightly.
Lu Ye went over and knocked on the table and shouted.
Two people immediately crawled out from behind the table.
An elegant old man with white hair and a green robe, half a man.
The old man knelt down and kowtowed as if pounding garlic, his whole body was shaking, and he presented an open brocade bag with both hands, which contained a few gold beans and silver ingots!
"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me..."
Lu Ye said with a smile.
"What's your surname, old gentleman? Don't be afraid, I don't want your gold or silver, nor will I kill anyone. Are you the owner of this bookstore?"
The old man replied with a grimace.
“I don’t dare to lie to you. My surname is Fan. I am an old boy who has failed many times.”
“Because every time I fail, others call me Fan. Unfortunately, the only son died early, and he and his grandson lived together and opened a bookshop to make ends meet. "
Lu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this.
He was originally a farmer, so he had no means to study and read. His good brother Wang Hu was a martial arts fanatic. His family was well-off, but he had no interest in studying. He only knew the common words for enlightenment.
Lu Ye has learned half a bucket of water from Wang Hu over the past year, and finally he has not become blind.
It’s not enough for him to know just a few words.
Not to mention how far away it is, how big is the Jin Kingdom and how many provinces does it have? What is the population of the affected provinces and is it serious? Is the imperial court unable to rescue the disaster with all its efforts, or is it that it has not exerted any efforts at all?
Unable to understand this general trend, Lu Ye always felt that his life was not safe.
If the world is in chaos, it would be good to stay in the refugee army; if the Jin Dynasty is consolidated and has not yet made real efforts to suppress the bandits, he will naturally have to seriously consider how long to stay in the refugee army.
As the refugee army has limited channels for absorbing information, he has been unable to make a judgment.
This time we conquered the county town. This old boy, Fan Buzhong, ran a bookshop. Since he was a serious scholar and was doing business, he must know a lot of information.
The more he watched, the more satisfied he became and laughed.
"Okay, Fan Buzhong, I will leave you a Pan-character flag. If anyone else comes, you will say that you are a cub of the female camp infantry sentry officer's family!"
"This area is under the management of our female camp. Don't worry, no one dares to touch you..."
Lu Ye left a small flag and left the bookstore with a smile. Fan Buzhong was stunned holding the flag, but in the blink of an eye Showing a happy expression.
This flag is a talisman!
Lu Ye rode his mule and decided to visit a few more places to see if he could get a few more scholars.
On the way, I heard a sharp whistle not far away.
It must be that the slaves who were patrolling separately encountered strong resistance.
Lu Ye and Wang Hu hurried over.
After turning a few streets, at the corner ahead, there were several servants half-crouching and half-lying on the ground holding their feet, wailing, and saw an arrow on their insteps.
What was even more surprising was that the long arrow nailed the feet of these servants to the ground diagonally, leaving only the white arrow feathers outside the insteps of the long arrow shaft.
It can be seen that the archer's arrows are accurate and ruthless.
The other servants didn't dare to show their heads and hid in the corner.
The heroic voice of a man came from the street.
"You guys listen up, Grandpa, I was kind enough not to shoot an arrow at your heads!"
"Otherwise you would have died! Hurry up and get out of the way for Grandpa!"
“Let’s go our own way, no one gets in the way of the other!”
