Chapter 408: Help me once
Fork in the road.
One is towards Danyang, and the other is towards the county seat.
Jiang Ping reined in his horse and did not move for a long time.
“Still want to go to the county seat to see the riot?” Li Dachui asked.
Jiang Ping nodded: "In the past, in Danyang, all I saw were flowers and flowers, and all I heard was prosperity and peace. Even if there were some troubles, it was because the rebellious ministers and traitors were plotting evil, and the mob was causing harm to the world. But this time I came out to take a look. , It’s not what they said!”
Looking back on the way back, Jiang Ping’s expression became heavier when she remembered the scene of the old woman holding the grain bag tightly.
"If you want to go and see it, go and see it, but you have to listen to me, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." Li Dachui said: "I'm afraid you have never seen the scene of thousands of troops charging. Well, if we really fall into such a war, it’s good if I can protect myself.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll listen to you. I just want to see for myself what this big Chu is doing now. What does one look like?" Jiang Ping asked.
Once the decision is made, just turn the horse.
On both sides of the road, some houses have been burned into ruins, while others are still burning. Thick smoke covers the sky and the sun, and the smell of burnt beetles is assaulting your nostrils.
"Why are these houses burned? It seems that these houses should be the residences of ordinary people!" Jiang Ping was a little strange. She suddenly jumped off the horse, picked up a long bone, and looked at it in her hand. After a moment, he said in astonishment: "These are cow bones. If a countryman has a cow, it is a great asset. Why did he kill the cow?"
Li Dachui showed some disgust on his face.
“The people who organized this rebellion burned down the people’s houses, and they should have forced all the people to join in the rebellion.” He said slowly: “As for the cow, of course he was killed by them. It’s for the army.”
A look of anger appeared on Jiang Ping’s face.
"For their ambition, it is really not a pity to let innocent people lead the way for them!"
"There is a cause and a result!" Li Dachui said: "If the officials here govern the Qingming Dynasty and the people are rich, these people can What kind of trouble are they daring to instigate rebellion? The people will report them to the government immediately. First, you gave these people the right soil to take root and thrive. Therefore, it is wrong to just scold them."
"You. Do you think they are right?" Jiang Ping looked at him coldly.
Li Dachui shook his head: "No, I am also disgusted with these people. Outside the customs, we have always killed these guys who kidnapped ordinary people to cause chaos. Because in a war, the first to die is These are ordinary people who don’t have much ability to protect themselves.”
“Well, since we both agree on this issue, can you help me quell this riot?”
"The two of us?" Li Dachui pointed at his nose and asked, "I don't want to die yet! Even if the two of us are made of steel, how many nails can we make if our whole bodies are shattered?"< br>
“A snake can’t do without a head!” Jiang Ping said: “Think of a way to sneak in and kill the leader. Without the leader, the ordinary people will naturally disperse!”
“Then Are you waiting for the government to come and arrest these ordinary people one by one, chop off their heads and report them as merit?" Li Dachui said.
“Don’t forget that I’m still here!” Jiang Ping took out a sign from her arms and waved it, “In any case, I am also the princess of Da Chu. My sister has great prestige. Go to the city, find the officials here, persuade them to recruit and appease them, and never kill anyone indiscriminately."
Li Dachui was silent.
"Li Bao, don't you pity those ordinary people? This is the way to kill the fewest people. It only kills a few people with evil intentions and fears that the world will be chaotic, but it saves the lives of countless people who have been bound. This is a matter of immeasurable merit. " Jiang Ping said: "And I promise you that I will urge the local government to open grain warehouses, appease the people, and reduce taxes so that the people here can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Okay, I'll go. But if I go to the rebel army, will it be dangerous for you to go to the county seat alone?" Li Dachui asked.
“Don’t worry, as long as I enter the city, no one will dare to do anything to me!” Jiang Ping said, “Just send me outside the city wall.”
“ That's fine, and can your cicada still be used?" Li Dachui took out a box from his arms and opened it. The cicada lay quietly in the box, like a specimen. "If it still works, if anything happens, just activate it and I'll save you!"
"Okay!" Jiang Ping said with a smile. "Li Bao, I didn't expect you to care about me so much!"
"What are you talking about? After ten years of cultivation, we can cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, we can sleep together. After all, we have the fate of ten years of being in the same boat. Besides, I think you are a good little girl, and I like it, so it doesn't matter if I help you! "Li Dachui said with a smile: "Otherwise, I might go to the rebel army to help them and make this Yong'an County more chaotic!"
"Then why did you change again? What's your idea?" Jiang Ping's eyes flashed: "Is it because of me?"
"It has something to do with it. It's rare that the unruly little princess has turned her sights from the clouds to the general public and wants to do something practical for the people. As a friend , it’s only right to help you.”
“So, we are friends?”
“I think we should be friends!” Li Dachui said with a smile. When you get to Danyang, don’t forget to take care of me when you can cover the sky with one hand!”
"That's natural!" Jiang Ping smiled and rode forward.
Yongan County governs Yongxing County.
Outside the county town, tens of thousands of people organized by the Demon Cult disciples almost completely surrounded this small county town. It seemed that almost all the people in the county had come.
Standing high up, you can see at a glance where the core of this team is. Ordinary people naturally don't have any military tents. They don't even bother to build a shack. Of course, they can't have any strict camp and protection.
Under the moonlight, there were groups in the east and groups in the west, sitting on the ground like this, with piles of bonfires lit in some places.
To the west of the team, there is a team that looks obviously different.
More than a dozen tents were set up into a small camp, with flags flying on the erected poles. You can see that the tribes below are all wearing uniform costumes, and many of them are also wearing armor. .
This should be the core of this team.
If you want to rely on the strength of numbers to conquer Yongxing County, you may be able to succeed. Because a county governs, there is a high probability that there will not be too many troops stationed there.
By surprise, Yongxing County was captured, more weapons were seized from the county's arsenal to arm the villagers, more food was obtained from the grain depot so that the followers could have enough to eat, and then they surrounded more people and marched toward On to the next target.
Until the government came to its senses.
Then the professional violence machine comes.
In front of a fully armed professional army, such an impromptu riot will basically not achieve anything productive except the loss of countless lives.
Because those organizers have more resources, or have stronger abilities, they can often run away after a failure, avoid the limelight, and then come out again to gather people again to carry out another such riot. .
In their eyes, ordinary people are nothing more than disposable tools.
The saddest thing is that such people are often called heroes.
Li Dachui felt that if he encountered such a heroic difficulty, he would definitely kill one, kill two, and kill two.
Li Dachui likes demon sect disciples like Ke Wuji who are willing to humble themselves and take root in a certain place.
Li Dachui decided to take a look at these demon sect disciples in Yongxing County. If they wanted to be heroes, Li Dachui decided to send them to the underworld to become heroes. If it's for other reasons, then you can help, but at least you can't use the lives of ordinary people as the price of doing things.
Finding a remote corner, Li Dachui sent Jiang Ping up the city wall. Watching Jiang Ping's little figure disappear into the alley, he then climbed down the city wall, walked slowly towards the core of the rebels in the distance Walk to the camp.
While walking, he took out a mask from his arms, put it on his face, then kneaded and patted it, and a new identity was about to emerge.
Lu Xiong!
The confidant of Ke Wuji, the elder of the demon sect.
For a stranger like Li Dachui to lead a horse through the crowd, no one came up to question and check. Their biggest reaction was to turn around and take a look at the guy leading the horse. , and then ignore it.
Or maybe they thought that those who appeared here were probably rebels like them!
Of course, this guy definitely didn’t rebel because he couldn’t survive, because he was well dressed, had a horse, and had a knife in his waist.
That should be the group of leaders.
Because Li Dachui is walking there.
This left Li Dachui speechless.
If the people in the county knew about this situation, they would organize a group of people, put on casual clothes, and come with a black tiger to rip out the heart. Kill the horse first, capture the thief first, and capture the king first. This would directly destroy the tens of thousands of people.
Or such an unorganized and undisciplined rebel team, outside the pass, probably only needs a cavalry team of 100 people. After a few charges, they will be killed and defeated.
Such a rebellion is meaningless.
Rebellion purely for the sake of rebellion.
Finally, there was a reaction.
Just when Li Dachui was a hundred steps away from the well-organized camp, a small group of people came out to greet him.
Li Dachui strode forward to greet him. He formed a strange seal with his hands and said loudly: "The blazing holy fire is burning my broken body. There is no joy in life and change, and there is no need to fear death. That person with the thick earth flag is the leader." The Lord is here, and Lu Xiong from the Ruijin Banner came to pay his respects!”
“It turns out to be the Lord of the Ruijin Banner!” An old man came over and was surprised. He made a seal with his hands, but it was with Li Dachui! The Seal of Knot is slightly different. "This uprising is led by Hall Master Su under our Houtu banner. Master Lu, please, please!"
