Chapter 71 The angry and rebellious old father (2) (1/2)
The third prince's base camp was not very far from the county. Mo Shenke and his men traveled day and night and rushed back in only seven days.
It's not that he is anxious to go back to fight, it's just that the third prince used to have countless concubines in addition to the princess, and the children born by these people are not like Mo Shenke who was unlucky enough to be raised by farmers.
Basically, everyone is in the palace and has been studying with the master in the palace since childhood. There are many students who studied literature and many martial arts.
This time the Third Prince rebelled, there were eight sons who followed him into the army. These eight may not be as talented as Mo Chenke in marching and fighting. However, they grew up together with the Third Prince, and some I know that I am not as good as the other brothers in forming alliances. Although some of them are not good at fighting, they have never been disrespectful in their etiquette, or they are very good at winning people's hearts.
Even the brother who is mediocre in all aspects has his mother's family helping him behind the scenes.
After much calculation, Mo Shenke, the newly recognized son, turned out to be the weakest one.
The good news is that none of these eight brothers are legitimate children. Instead, they have been taught since childhood that the children born to the princess will inherit the throne in the future. Although the third prince now aspires to the throne, he does not necessarily have to be legitimate children. He inherited his father's throne, but his attitude and temperament developed since he was young are not so easy to change. Therefore, even if he has thoughts in his heart, his attitude towards the legitimate son is still respectful.
Only Mo Shenke was raised as the darling of the Lin family. Even though his food and drink were not as sophisticated as those of his half-brothers, he was raised to have a domineering temperament that even the heir apparent did not have. Brothers who were timid because of their status, no matter how much they thought about it, Mo Shenke's attitude of doing whatever he wanted pleased the Third Prince.
Those in power often take one step at a time and think ten steps ahead. Even though the third prince has only occupied one state and has not completely conquered the world, he has already been choosing his favorite successor in his heart.
The crown prince is definitely not good enough. Although he is the direct descendant of the princess, his body is very weak. The world has just been conquered, and what is needed is a king with iron-blooded methods. He himself is quite iron-blooded, but he is not sure that he can defeat this prince before he succeeds to the throne. Jiangshan Tiao|To teach people to regulate the wind and rain, and to make the people healthy, all they need is the appearance of a steadfast king.
After all, he is so old and can only live for twenty years at most. Besides, the prince's health is really poor. Even though the palace is provided with delicacies and medicines, he still looks frail. The third prince can't even be sure about him. Can he survive until he ascends the throne?
The only direct heir didn't live long, so there was no need to waste time. He immediately set his sights on other sons who could fight. Unfortunately, after picking and choosing, either the bravery was insufficient or the bravery was too sufficient, or everything looked like nothing. It's great, but I don't have any desire to win in my heart.
Until Mo Shenke broke into sight wearing his jade pendant.
Unlike those sons of a concubine, Mo Shenke was a very confident man, very brave in marching and fighting, and never concealed his admiration for his father. In addition, he said, "I have known myself since I was five years old." He is not his biological child, and he has been looking forward to finding his biological father. This also makes the third prince, who just throws it away and never thinks about whether a one-night stand will lead to a child, feel guilty and guilty.
He had many sons, but even the least favored one would not be like Mo Shenke, who was raised by a farmer.
I also knew that when it comes to treating a child who is not his biological child, the family will definitely not treat him any better, and it is difficult for this child to develop such a confident temperament.
He must have followed his biological father.
The third prince quickly recognized his son and made no secret of his love for him. The scenery was glorious, but the eyes of the eight brothers were suddenly focused on Mo Shenke.
They were fighting for peace on the surface and behind the scenes, but they were suddenly intercepted by an illegitimate child from outside?
I can't bear it!
As a result, Mo Chenke began to be targeted in various ways. He was even sent out by his father to cut ties with his former family members. He did not dare to stay out for a long time, for fear that those brothers would act like monsters again if he returned late.
Isn't it because he doesn't have the power of his mother's family behind him?
Why should he be afraid of them when he marries the general's daughter?
He hurried all the way back to the camp, first went to salute the Third Prince, and concealed the fact that he hid the two thousand taels. He only said that the Lin family had severed ties with him, and then expressed with admiration that his son could finally become his father's king in an upright manner. Son.
The third prince loved his new son who knew how to fight. Subconsciously, he was relieved to do things for him. He didn't ask in detail, he just patted his chest and told him to go back and rest quickly.
Mo Shenke opened the curtain and went out, and happened to bump into the third brother, one of the eight brothers. He immediately cupped his fists and saluted him: "I have met the third brother."
The biological mother of the third child was a concubine of the palace, and she was originally quite favored. She had no good feelings towards Mo Shenke, the illegitimate son who had stolen the love of his father. She only twitched the corner of her mouth with a cold expression, "As soon as the fifteenth brother left, I was half-hearted." Month, I wonder where you went to do business?”
Mo Shenke has always been taboo about his mother's background when he remarried. When the third prince asked him, he said that his mother pretended to marry in order to save his child. The stepfather's encounter greatly aroused the Third Prince's favor.
But he knew that since Lin Shiheng regarded him as his own son, his mother must have been touched by him. Now the third prince loves him very much because he has been living abroad for many years and suffered so much. If he knew that his mother had been touched, this love would be It will definitely not be saved.
With this idea in mind, Mo Shenke had always been able to talk about his mother when he was not outside. Now when the third child asked, he also followed his example and raised his lips: "It's nothing, it's just that my father told me something." , My brother is just going out to do it.”
The third child's eyes darkened, and he looked at the illegitimate child in front of him with a sullen expression.
He is the elder brother. Even if he has a bad attitude, as a younger brother, he should not imitate his attitude and fight back. If he is a legitimate son, forget it. He is clearly a legitimate concubine, but Mo Shenke is clearly a concubine who is not even as good as the son of the lowest dancer. It's very uncomfortable to live in an outer room, but every day he looks like he wants to be on equal footing with them or even look down on them.
Thinking that four brothers had come to him to form an alliance and plan to get rid of Mo Shenke, the third child barely suppressed the violence in his heart.
"Since my fifteenth brother doesn't want to talk, then forget it. I'll go see my father first."
He saluted, opened the curtain and walked in.
Mo Shenke was too lazy to pay attention to these bastards who hated him. He thought that he would not see a return gift when he walked in anyway, so he simply turned around and left without returning a gift.
The prince's personal soldiers who witnessed this scene did not show anything on their faces, but deep down they felt that Mo Shenke was indeed raised by a farmer with no rules. But thinking that the prince liked him, this fifteenth prince was in the limelight recently, so they all kept silent. In words, only those short-lived thoughts are hidden in the bottom of my heart.
However, the soldiers who followed Mo Shenke out clearly saw his attitude towards the Lin family who loved him so much.
For a moment, I had some concerns in my mind.
****
When Mo Shenke just returned to the military camp, Lin Shiheng was also preparing his own rebellion plan.
After getting the silver coins, he and his three sons sat on a rough big bed that night and hid the silver coins under the bed. At first glance, it looked like just a broken wooden bed with missing corners, covered with some discarded waste. Wood scraps.
After he bought the black fabric, he asked the women at home to sew the clothes. He took his three sons and wore knock-off night clothes, and went up the mountain following the news about the bandits.
In ancient times, not many people traveled at night, so the bandits did not open their business at night. Except for a few bandits who kept watch and dozed off, they did not meet many people along the way, which allowed them to find out the bandits smoothly. 's lair.
Nighttime is generally a time for couples to have activities, but in the bandits' lair, it is a time for some bandits to have activities with prisoners captured on the mountain.
Lin Shiheng first took his sons to listen around the house without lights. Basically, there was no movement, and they were all obviously fast asleep.
Then I walked around the lighted rooms and listened to the conversations of the people inside and the cries of the women. It was probably that some good women were forced to serve, some were tortured to death, and some were threatened to serve. After walking around, it was clear what the bandits were.
The three sons had never done this kind of thing before. They followed their father closely and didn't dare to take a breath. Fortunately, they usually worked quickly and were accustomed to listening to their father's words. No matter how nervous they were, they didn't get into trouble. When the sound came, I heard several rooms with lights on before being led out of the bandit's den by my father.
After entering the forest, Lin Shiheng took off the black cloth covering his face and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
The three sons shook their legs tremblingly. Today's experience was simply more exciting than everything in the first half of their lives put together. At this moment, each of them felt their tongues were numb and could not reply.
One of them suffered a brain breakdown, and then he stammered out one sentence at a time under his father's intimidation.
"The two women just now did not do so voluntarily, and according to the bandit inside, their husbands were killed and their children were kept as a means to blackmail them."
"In another room, there was the sound of whips being whipped, plus what the bandits said inside, it should be that they were being tortured."
"Dad, those bandits are so ferocious. We come here to eavesdrop on what they are doing. If we are discovered, judging from the meaning of the bandits' words, except for the boys who don't remember anything, they will kill them all."
Lin Shiheng stretched his muscles and said: "Of course I want to come up to see if they are some poor people who were forced to become bandits."
The three sons looked at each other in the moonlight, "How can the bandits be pitiful? I don't know how many merchants and common people died at the hands of the bandits."
"As long as it's not pitiful."
Lin Shiheng patted his sons on the shoulders one by one and went over: "Knowing what abominable people they are, there is no need to leave any room to trick them."
Although they didn't quite understand what their biological father was saying, the smile on his face when he said this still made the three of them shiver.
It's strange, why I always feel like my father is smiling with evil intentions.
Lin Shiheng did have bad intentions.
He didn't hide it either.
The next day, he took his three sons, who were "carefully dressed," and waited for someone on the road a mountain away from the bandit's den.
Lin Laoer touched the tattered clothes stained with dried blood on his body, then touched the wounds on his face that his father had painted with powder, and then looked at the pot of chicken blood next to him, trembling.
"Dad...do you really want to do this?"
Lin Shiheng held the bow and arrow in his hand. This bow was made by himself. Although it didn't look too gorgeous, it was very easy to use.
After hearing his son's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you afraid of? Don't you believe Dad? Have you forgotten how good the goose that Dad shot in the morning tasted?"
When he said this, Lin Laoer immediately thought of the wild goose that was shot in the head by his own father early this morning and fell off.
I was very happy when I saw it, and it was delicious when I ate it, but...
He couldn't help but touched his head countless times in a short period of time.
"Shhh."
While thinking with a grimace, Lin Shiheng suddenly pulled them down and said, "Someone is coming."
There was indeed a group of people walking forward on the road below. They looked like businessmen.
Lin Shiheng pushed Lin Laoer: "It's your turn to appear!"
Lin Laoer stood up shaking his legs and poured some of the chicken blood on himself.
Then he ran down shouting for help.
"Help!!! Help!!!"
The team of merchants stopped, and the people sitting on the horses took knives and looked around vigilantly.
Just as they turned their heads to look around, they saw a bloody man running down the mountain, covered in blood.
The bloody man ran closer, and everyone was shocked when they realized that not only was he covered in blood, but also his face was covered with hideous scars. Judging from the blood marks on his body, there were many stab wounds on his body.
Lin Laoer ran up to them, fell to the ground with a thud, and spoke with a trembling voice that was weak but could be heard clearly by those who came to investigate.
The first time he lied, he was nervous and scared, but he expressed the emotions that should be shown vividly.
"There are bandits in front of us, and everyone who passes by is killed. I, ahem, I and a few brothers managed to escape. You must not go there, they will not let anyone go... …”
——Whoosh! !
A sharp arrow shot from nowhere. From the perspective of Xing Shang and his group, the arrow hit Lin Laoer who was lying on the ground.
The bloody man who was talking to them screamed and closed his eyes, and died silently.
Before Xing Shang could react, another sharp arrow was shot from the forest and hit the horse closest to Lin Lao Er.
Lin Shiheng retracted his bow and patted his two sons who were watching blankly.
The two of them were shocked, and they quickly opened their mouths and shouted: "We found the person!! Kill him!!!"
The merchant team below suddenly became excited.
"The bandits are chasing us, run away -"
"Run!!"
A group of people rode in a panic and returned to the original road with the goods. The dust was flying and no one was seen running all the way.
Lin Laoer was still lying on the ground dedicated to his work.
It wasn't until Lin Shiheng came out of the forest with his two brothers that he cautiously opened his eyes, his face full of trance.
"Second brother, are you okay?"
"Come on, get up quickly."
Compared to their biological father, the two brothers cared more about this elder brother. They quickly helped him stand up and kept asking for his welfare.
Lin Laoer is fine.
He's just going to be scared shitless.
Since standing up, his eyes have been staring at the arrow on the ground.
Just a little bit, the arrow didn't penetrate the gap between the arm and the chest.
He almost lost his life.
Lin Shiheng picked up the arrow and looked at his second son.
"Are you still afraid now? If you are, let your third and fourth brothers come next time."
To be honest, I'm afraid.
Thinking about the tension and despair of the life-and-death situation just now, Lin Laoer's calves were trembling now.
But thinking that if he didn't bear this kind of danger, it would be his two younger brothers who should bear it, he still tried to stand up straight: "I, I'm not afraid."
The eldest brother is like father. Although his biological father is still there, the eldest brother is no longer there. From now on, he will be the eldest brother of the Lin family.
Lin Laoer patted his chest hard, trying to show that he was fine.
"Let me do it next time."
Lin Shiheng looked at him with satisfaction in his eyes. This satisfaction made Lin Laoer, who just thought he must be dead, almost shed tears.
This is the first time in his life that his father is satisfied with him.
"Second brother, you will know later that dad is doing this for your own good."
Lin Laoer's eyes filled with tears, "I know, Dad, I understand."
"Don't worry, dad won't be partial. This is a good opportunity to train your mind. All of you brothers have a share."
"Third brother, it's you next time."
Lin Laoer was moved: "..."
Lin Lao San, who was called on the side, and Lin Lao Si, who would also have his turn, both had flashes of the wild goose that was shot through the head in the early morning.
They raised their hands in unison and touched their heads.
By the time the entire county and even the entire city knew that there were bandits here who would kill anyone on sight, the three brothers of the Lin family had experienced countless "shootings from their own father".
In addition to these, they were also required to practice riding horses and slashing with wooden swords.
Within ten days, all three of them were transformed.
It's not that they became extremely powerful in less than ten days, but now no matter how big things happen, the three brothers can remain calm.
There was no way, after experiencing countless times that their father would die if his arrows were just a little off target, the three brothers had a feeling of being indifferent to life and death.
After returning home, I was greeted by my family, and late at night I sat with my father in front of a broken table for a meeting.
They will all be very calm. Even if their father says he wants to rebel and has experienced life and death, there will never be any wavering on their faces.
Lin Shiheng knocked on the table and got to the point directly: "I plan to rebel."
Three Brothers:……? ? ?
Dad, what are you talking about? ?
rebel? ?
Aren't we trying to trick the bandits? Why did you jump to the rebellion!
Facing his three stunned sons, whose faces were distorted and almost fainted from fear, Lin Shiheng looked away in disgust.
"The way out has been arranged. If you are willing to follow me, do it together. If not, just hide with your wife and children."
All three of them had pale faces.
Their courage has long been cultivated by being shot at every day, but no matter how courageous they are, they are still local aborigines. They have accepted comments such as "the emperor is bigger than the sky" and "we wait for the emperor to listen to the officials" since childhood.
Let them rebel, they simply don't have the guts.
But if I don’t follow along, no one will be able to carry me if anything happens to my father.
In the end, several people still trembled and agreed to the rebellion plan together with white faces.
After they confirmed that they were going to rebel, their minds were sublimated again.
They all decided to rebel, and being shot with arrows didn't seem to be a big deal.
Just after the whole city knew that there were bandits in a mountain, who not only robbed property but also killed people, the common people and merchants became restless, and some merchants begged to go to the government to try to get the government to suppress the bandits.
Naturally, the government, which cannot protect itself, will not agree.
The world is so chaotic now. How about managing the people? How about suppressing bandits? Suppress with what? Where can I get soldiers?
The bandits all depended on the mountains to support themselves, and they only relied on robbing passers-by. They were also ferocious before, but at that time they were silenced, the world was in chaos, and the government didn't care. Gossips were spread around, but no one knew about them. They killed people.
Now, everyone knows that the bandits are entrenched here. They not only steal wealth, but also sha're:n. There are still merchants who dare to take this road. For a while, the bandits have no new income.
If we change the mountain, the village is all here, if we change the place, wouldn't it be like starting over in an unfamiliar place?
But waiting in vain is not a problem. If you are used to big fish and meat, you will suddenly become poor. How can you get used to it.
One night, the village was brightly lit, and the heads of the family gathered in the largest room to discuss what to do.
Lin Laosi lay on the ground silently and listened to the movement inside. He was the youngest and was not as good as his two brothers in martial arts, but he was the fastest to learn to sneak. When everyone in the room came out one by one, they returned to their own rooms. In the house, he quietly got up and followed the moonlight into the forest.
Lin Shiheng had already put away the bow and arrows that had just been used to cover him, and watched as his youngest son walked over quietly.
"Dad, they plan to rob the village at the foot of the mountain. From what I hear, they also want to kidnap women and dolls up the mountain. If they encounter men, they will kill them to avoid revenge in the future."
Lin Laosan looked angry and scolded these bandits as inhumans, but Lin Shiheng was not surprised.
He glanced at his eldest son, who was looking deep in thought and didn't know what he was thinking, "Second brother, why do you think the bandits chose to rob the village at the foot of the mountain?"
Lin Laoer first took a careful look at his father, and saw that his face was full of encouragement, and then he stammered: "I thought, pick a soft persimmon, because the people in the village only do farming, and there are no government officials to patrol." Street, even if bandits come down from the mountain to rob, the government will be too late to take care of it. Moreover, the government has never paid much attention to small villages like ours. Every time they only send people to collect taxes, the bandits will rob and run away, even if they are alive. If the villagers come down and report it to the government, the government will not go looking for those bandits."
He has always been an ordinary farm boy who works hard. He rarely utters such a long list of words. After saying it, he is afraid that he has said something wrong. He keeps it in his heart and puts his hands nervously on his chest, listening to the thumping thumping. My heart was filled with tears, my head lowered and I didn't dare to speak again.
The next moment, a hand fell on his shoulder, and then his father's voice sounded in his ears with satisfaction:
"Second brother, you are right."
Lin Laoer raised his head happily and saw his father's eyes filled with relief.
"It seems that you are the one who is most like me."
He is most like dad!
Lin Laoer was screaming like a crazy groundhog in his heart.
Lin Lao San and Lin Lao Si on the side looked over with envy. Only after Lin Shiheng took the lead to move forward did they dare to get in front of the second brother.
"Second brother, how did you come up with those words? Although I have been listening to the bandits talking, I have no idea why they decided to rob the village down the mountain."
"Yes, second brother, I didn't expect you to be so smart. You are as smart as dad."
Being praised by his two younger brothers, Lin Laoer felt light all over.
Did he turn out to be smart?
He can actually be as smart as his father.
Recently, he actually feels a little inferior because his third brother is good at martial arts and his fourth brother is good at spying. Only he is not good at sneaking in martial arts and is not as good as his two brothers. He is obviously the eldest brother, but he is not as good as the two brothers.
Even when it comes to playing dead people, my father said that the fourth brother was the most resembling and the best. He even learned the convulsions before death without a teacher.
But now my father says that he is the one who is most like him.
The inner frustration during this period was immediately swept away by these words.
Lin Laoer regained the feeling of the eldest son. He imitated his father and patted the shoulders of the two younger brothers who were surrounding him to praise him. His brows became calmer.
"Okay, let's go quickly. This is a bandit's place after all. It's not advisable to stay for a long time."
The two younger brothers were used to listening to his words, so they quickly stopped talking and followed the second brother forward.
As expected, the bandits rushed to Linjia Village, the nearest village at the foot of the mountain.
But when they passed by, they were surprised to find that Linjia Village was already empty of people, as if they had known they were going to kill them.
A group of bandits stood confusedly in the village holding knives. Some unwilling bandits went to search the house, only to find that the villagers who had gone to who-know-where had not left even a grain of rice.
It doesn't matter, they go to other villages!
I can’t believe that everyone in other villages has also disappeared!
Recently, people in a village welcomed Lin Shiheng who reported the news.
"The bandits came from our Linjia Village, and they plan to loot each village one by one. You should run for your lives quickly!"
The honest farm man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's too late if we don't run away now."
The villagers were shocked. They had all heard that the bandits were ferocious. If they were caught, it would be the end of them.
But now that they were moving, let alone where they were hiding, there was no time to take away the family's belongings. And even if they took away the belongings, what would happen if the bandits burned down their house.
Just when they were helpless and panicked, Lin Laosi rushed over with strong men from several villages behind.
"Dad, there is really no place to hide near their village, and there are too many dolls. If they cry, they will definitely be caught. These men followed me here, planning to fight against the bandits together."
Lin Shiheng stamped his feet anxiously: "You kid, it's not easy to resist the bandits. It's better to report them to the government and let them come!"
Just as he was talking, Lin Laoer ran over on his little donkey, sweating profusely.
"Dad! I went to the government and told this matter, but the government didn't care at all and said I was lying. What should I do now, dad!"
He has a handsome appearance and is as upright and upright as his biological father Lin Shiheng. At this moment, he and Lin Laosi are looking at Lin Shiheng, causing others to look at him involuntarily, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
Lin Shiheng wandered around in embarrassment for two times, "There is nothing we can do now. They are bandits. We will definitely not be able to defeat them. Let's do this. I remember there is a canyon in front of your village. I am a carpenter and can make bows and arrows. Let's work together. Go to the top of the canyon and make bows and arrows while waiting for the bandits to come over. They are at the bottom and we are at the top. We are the only ones who will fight them, and they will not fight us. "
"But this bow and arrow takes time. Is it available in time?"
"I still have some bows and arrows at home that were made by nobles in the city. I originally asked my third son to deliver them to the city today. Unexpectedly, I happened to encounter bandits coming down the mountain, so I had to use them first."
"The men with strong arms will follow me, while the women, old men and children will go to the village behind. Even if we lose, we can still save them!"
Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao Si's attitude towards listening to whatever Lin Shiheng said affected the villagers. Coupled with his calm arrangement, a group of people subconsciously followed his arrangements and separated the men and followed them up the canyon. .
On the way, they happened to meet Lin Laosan coming with a bow and arrow, and a group of people quietly ambush above the canyon.
The bandits came very slowly. Lin Laosan scattered iron nails on the ground on the way here. None of their horses were shod. Each one of them refused to walk again after being hit. They just thought it was a villager who left a hand before fleeing for his life. They all gritted their teeth with hatred, but they could only change to walking.
"Dad, there are a lot of rocks up here. Why don't we throw some more rocks down later to save some bows and arrows."
Unlike the others who were busy making bows and arrows, Lin Laoer looked around after going up to the canyon. After discovering the stone, he hurriedly ran to report it.
"Okay, assign some people to move the rocks, and you can make arrangements."
Lin Shiheng looked at the empty canyon below, squinted his eyes slightly, and ordered: "Let more people stand on both sides of the canyon to prevent them from running out."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Lin Laoer obediently arranged for people to move the stones, and then asked people to stand on both sides.
As expected, the bandit walked into the canyon while waiting.
Lin Shiheng picked up his most commonly used bow and arrow, stood on the far left side of the canyon, "shoot the arrow."
--call out!
--call out!
Those who knew how to shoot were all shooting, those who couldn't were moving rocks, those who were moving and throwing rocks, and those who were throwing rocks. Amidst the screams from below, Lin Shiheng tightened his bowstring and aimed at the big boss in the village.
He is quite easy to recognize. As soon as something happens, a group of people immediately surround him for protection.
——Whoosh!
An arrow shot through him with precision.
The leader fell to the ground, and the bandits were leaderless. They did not bother to rush out together, but scattered and fled for their lives. However, no matter whether they were going forward or backward, they would be killed by sharp arrows.
When it finally ended, there were corpses lying on the ground underneath.
Lin Shiheng retracted the arrow and looked back at a group of men whose eyes were full of light and excitement. "There must be people left in their village. If we kill their people, the bandits in the village will definitely take revenge if they find out about it. It's better to attack first." To be strong.”
A group of men with red eyes responded immediately.
The bandits didn't have many people left, and Lin Shiheng and his three brothers were there to take care of them. In addition, Lin Laosi, the thieves, released the prisoners. In the end, as expected, they won a complete victory.
Lin Shiheng found the property in the village and distributed it to the men who came together.
Everyone looked at him with admiration and yearning in their eyes.
When the government heard the news, they sent officials to ask the people to hand over the property in the bandit's stronghold.
Under the leadership of the fatuous emperor, the government also followed the pace of the court, advancing with the times and refreshing the offline.
They didn't dare to deal with the bandits because they were afraid of fierce resistance. What did a group of people who were used to being oppressed by the government have to fear?
But this was a group of people who had killed people, defended their homes, and under Lin Shiheng's words, regarded those properties as their trophies.
Coupled with Lin Laosi's fanning the flames and the arrogant attitude of the official, several villagers killed the official in anger.
After killing people, he became confused.
Those are official officials, people from the imperial court, how can they survive if they are killed?
They subconsciously found Lin Shiheng for help under Lin Laosi's suggestion.
Naturally, Lin Shiheng "reluctantly" announced his departure from the imperial court and started a rebellion.
Its biggest disadvantage is that there are few people.
But it doesn’t matter. There will be more and more people rebelling.
***
Mo Shenke had no idea what was happening in the distant Linjia Village.
After he came back, he was sent by his father to fight against the imperial soldiers and horses. According to their plan, they should go all the way north until they hit the capital. But now there are still two princes and a civilian rebel organization, and the four parties are restraining each other, because there is still They have a common enemy and haven't started fighting yet. They are just waiting to see who can take the lead in the capital and conquer the world.
After three months of hard work and many wounds, he finally captured a city that his father specified.
The Third Prince did not hide anything from him, he directly took out the marching map, pointed at a city and announced that this was the army's next destination.
With satisfaction for his son, the third prince directly dropped the carrot in front: "If you, my son, can capture this city, I will propose your marriage to his daughter to the general."
Mo Chenke was so excited that he wished he could immediately send his troops to capture the city and marry the general's daughter to become the future heir to the throne.
But before he could set off with his army, the third prince stopped him with a bad expression.
Not only him, but also some senior generals and his eight brothers.
Everyone sat together and had a meeting.
Theme of the meeting: Another civil rebel organization has emerged.
Although this rebel organization has not been formed for a long time, it is much more powerful than the previous people's rebellion organization. It took over the city that was watched by people from all directions in one move.
After hearing this, Mo Shenke expressed his opinion: "How many people do they have?"
"Only a few thousand."
several thousand?
Mo Shenke almost laughed out loud. What kind of battle could thousands of men and horses fight? He immediately asked for orders: "My son is willing to lead the army and return the city to our army."
The Third Prince, who always agreed immediately upon request, did not respond this time, but frowned and thought for a while.
"No."
"The city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they were able to capture the city, they must have some ability of their own. What's more, their banner is to force the government to force the people to rebel. We are originally on the opposite side of the imperial court. If we go now If we surrender them, how will the people view our army?"
After all, it's still the new civil rebel organization Taichi.
It was only when the days were the hardest that such a non-governmental organization came into existence. Recently, the four parties have restrained each other, and the court officials have been busy seeking refuge everywhere, and have no time to prey on the people. Even corrupt officials have a little scruple in their actions, and there is no big benefit. Don't dare to take action.
It's all so good, but why is there a new rebel force?
Mo Shenke didn't think so much, knowing that he couldn't clear out those people yet, his expression sank slightly, and he felt uncomfortable.
He is eager to prove himself through fighting, so naturally he wants to go to the battlefield more often.
"Father, what is the origin of the rebels this time? Are they like Zhao Fang and others, leading them together?"
"The news has just been delivered, and the situation is not clear yet. I only know that the other party is named Lin, and there is only one general. There is no news of being crowned king yet. Let's wait and see for now. If he wants to take refuge with others, these thousands of people are few. , but we can also try to win over."
Forest……
Mo Shenke's eyebrows beat for a moment, and before he started thinking, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
But soon, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
It's really a fool's errand to fight.
So what if the man's surname was Lin? How could he not know the abilities of the Lin family?
They are all from the countryside, let alone the same surname. Even if they have the same name, they are 100% not related to the Lin family.
