Chapter 73 The angry and rebellious old father (4) (1/2)

Zhoucheng's daily life is probably like this.

I heard you were at war? Lost the fight? It doesn't matter, look at the new weapons we have developed and use them to ensure that you can turn defeat into victory.

Hey, did you win? Congratulations, but don’t be proud if you win. Let’s take a look at the new weapons. It’s an exclusive copy. It has not been sold to other cities yet. As long as I bring you food, I will give it to you.

Didn't you get involved this time? It's fine to just sit back and watch, but they have just had a fight and may be targeting you next. You still need to make more preparations. Do you want to take a look at this weapon? After buying it, it will be quite a deterrent.

All the major rebel groups saw Zhou Cheng's face clearly.

This is a villain!

Still so shameless!

I usually shrink up, hello, me, hello, everyone. As soon as they run out of food and grass and need food, they immediately start to encourage them to buy weapons. It’s not enough if they don’t buy them. If they don’t buy, others will buy them. If others buy them, they will use them. If they don’t have them, they will use them. , isn’t that just standing there waiting to be beaten?

The shameless old thief is sure that they will restrain each other and not attack Zhou Cheng!

The rebel group was so angry that they vomited blood due to Zhou Cheng's shameless appearance. Fortunately, they could comfort themselves at this time. Fortunately, Zhou Cheng did not get involved, and fortunately, Zhou Cheng was helpless. They fucked the refugees who were waiting to open their mouths to eat every day. Otherwise, if such a city with a lot of weapons really started to fight, they really wouldn't know what to do if a secret weapon or something came out.

The Third Prince has always thought this way, especially the contents reported by his spies who stayed in Zhoucheng.

The common people are cultivating fertile fields, Zhoucheng has begun to build a new city, and the fourth son of the city lord leads a group of soldiers to farm all day long. In order to please the city lord Lin, he takes them to run around the city every day. .

What can you do by running in circles?

What's the use of running in circles?

Lin Baozhi couldn't digest food because he was old, and the old farmer's style had not changed yet, so he went out for a walk after eating every day.

A group of young and strong soldiers running around the city?

It’s useless!

While he was secretly disdainful, Murong Xiao had already arranged for her subordinates to learn to run laps after getting the news. Zhou Cheng's people would run as many laps as hers. They must be on par with Zhou Cheng's. The training methods are exactly the same.

It was a pity that she had only practiced it for less than ten days when she was urgently stopped by the third prince who learned about it. Murong Xiao expressed his disdain when he expressed his concern that those in Zhoucheng were training in secret.

From ancient times to the present, I have only heard of military formation training with swords, guns and sticks, but I have never heard of training in circles.

Even if it is training troops, such soldiers will not be useful after training.

Murong Xiao wanted to say something else, but she was keenly aware of the Third Prince's displeasure with her several times paying attention to Zhou Cheng.

Obviously, this lord does not think Zhou Cheng is his enemy.

She could only keep silent, but she was thinking in her heart whether she should discuss with her father to break away from this lord who was becoming more and more willful and arrogant.

Zhoucheng's tricks frequently appeared. The third prince read Lin Shiheng's letter and thought wholeheartedly that the city lord who shamelessly came to beg for a little food did not have the guts to really join the battlefield. However, Murong Xiao never underestimated the enemy. To be precise, in After learning about the killing of bandits in the canyon, she never looked down on the city lord of Zhou City who was said to be an ordinary citizen.

In the past few years, she and the third prince even had a dispute due to discussions in Zhou Cheng. Fortunately, her father was on her side. Two years ago, Murong Xiao turned twenty years old, and her relationship with Mo Chen was about to begin. Ke's wedding date.

If they get married, they will definitely be tied to the Third Prince's boat.

But the sudden appearance of Zhou Cheng made their father and daughter undecided. When they were hesitating whether to betray the Third Prince and find another way to make a living, Murong Xiao's grandfather passed away.

The elder passed away, still her grandfather. According to the rules of the court, she needed to observe mourning for three years. Naturally, the wedding date had to be postponed for three years.

During this period when Mo Shenke regretted not being able to take the beauty home early, he gained some observation time for Murong Xiao and General Murong.

It's a pity that two years after the death of grandfather, the results of observation still make both father and daughter not optimistic about the third prince.

When the rebellion first broke out, maybe it was because he had tolerated it for a long time. The third prince would plan every possible outcome before doing anything, and he would not underestimate the enemy like he does now. But as the rebellion lasted for a long time, and he enjoyed the treatment of his subordinates every day, he was the real emperor. Because of his adulation, coupled with his growing age and greed for pleasure, the current third prince is no longer the same third prince as before.

What dissatisfied Murong Xiao the most was her fiancé Mo Shenke.

The reason why she agreed to the marriage in the first place was not only because it was the intention of the third prince, but also because Mo Shenke himself was capable and had no other affiliated forces behind him. In such a marriage, Mo Shenke would have to rely on her father.

But because of the incident in Zhoucheng, the Murong family had been wary of marrying Murong Xiao early. In addition, the period of time since his grandfather passed away was enough for Murong Xiao to see clearly what his fiancé was thinking.

Unlike what she had thought before, that the marriage would benefit each other, Mo Shenke naively thought that as long as she married Murong Xiao, the forces under General Murong would naturally belong to him and obey his orders.

How is such a naive idea different from the half-body emperor who is about to die!

Perhaps because they had delayed getting married for too long, the third prince was a little dissatisfied with the Murong family, and General Murong's army, which had always been in a regiment, was about to be dispersed.

This made the father and daughter feel even more critical.

They betrayed the court and took refuge with the third prince, originally for the purpose of scheming the master, but now that the world has not yet been conquered, the master has already lost his head.

What else to play?

Unlike the Third Prince, who was always unprepared for Zhou Cheng, the other two rebel groups also realized that they had formed a deadlock in the past three years.

Because of mutual restraint, the weak imperial court survived. Now that the Hunjun is still on the throne, if they beat the Hunjun to death and the other party helps others to come up, then wouldn't the rebel group's side banner of the Qingjun become a joke? .

Although Zhou City has been accepting people from all over the world and has little food reserves, they can make weapons!

If such an arsenal is left unchecked and allowed to make their money, compared with taking it down and occupying it for oneself, the latter will naturally have greater vested interests.

The two rebel groups finally made a decision after a trial and error process.

Attack Zhoucheng!

Unite and fight!

The issue of distribution will be discussed after the battle is over. Anyway, they are two swords together. Even if the third prince wants to take action, he will definitely not be able to defeat the two-layered rebel group that has already cooperated.

The counselors who had been urging them to attack Zhoucheng for such a long time were very excited. They were all working together to kill their lord in one blow.

Among them, the counselor who was the most ferocious and the one who was most in favor of attacking Zhou City was so excited that he walked with wind. That night, he immediately made a detailed plan of "This is how we should fight", which attracted the lord's praise. Give him a try.

That night, the counselor drank some wine, and the lord asked the soldiers around him to escort him back to the camp. The drunken counselor leaned on the soldiers, muttering drunken words, and even pulled the sleeves of the soldiers and called him "little lady" Everyone who saw this scene couldn't stop laughing, and the Lord couldn't help but laugh after hearing about it. Mr. Dao has been with him for nearly four years and has been planning for him, but he has never gotten married. He should wait until he is a little bit different. So when he is busy, he can find a beautiful girl for him.

The soldier supported the counselor all the way into the tent. When he came out, people outside couldn't help laughing when they thought of that scene. Some people joked and asked him if his hands were so smooth, otherwise how could he be mistaken for a young lady? .

The soldier glared at them both with a sullen expression, and immediately came here.

It was just that from the hand that was always tightly clenched, some paper was faintly revealed when there was no one around.

****

Zhoucheng has always been the most stable place in these troubled times. Because the city gates were wide open, some merchants were willing to come here to do business. Today was an ordinary morning. The city gates were opened, and merchants walked in with their horses. This city has become more vast and prosperous in three years.

Different from those merchants who scattered around looking for a place to sell their goods, several carriages carried the goods and walked towards the government office with clear goals. Pedestrians were not surprised, but some merchants looked at their backs with envy for several times. Eye.

Otherwise, everyone has their own destiny. They are also people who go around and sell things in various cities. This person knows from nowhere that the Lord of Zhou City loves to eat fruits, so he just took the road of Zhou City. , you can trade directly with Zhoucheng government office every time.

I heard that the city lord was well fed and would even order a lot of food from their house to give to other rebel forces. Not to mention that he could make a lot of money just from this. With such a relationship, no matter where he goes in the future, he would be able to make money. If you come out, you will definitely not be embarrassed.

Hey, I’m envious!

"father!"

Lin Shiheng was sitting in his chair and drinking tea leisurely like an ordinary old man. Lin Laoer had already walked in quickly and handed over the letter in his hand.

"This is the letter that came with a load of fruit."

Lin Shiheng glanced at the [City Lord's Personal Letter] on the letter and asked, "Has anyone read this letter?"

Lin Laoer said with a hint of worry: "It is said that I was investigated by several waves of people on the way, and this letter was opened and read several times. Dad, is there any obstacle? Do you need my son to arrange it?"

"No need."

As the weather became colder, his clothes became more and more bulky, but he didn't look fat at all. He took a sip of tea, and his expression remained calm: "This is just an ordinary letter."

"But in the past three years, we have never received a letter from there. How could it suddenly..."

"Take it apart and take a look."

Lin Laoer obediently opened the letter and found that it was indeed a very ordinary letter inside. He only said that the caravan was looking for the plant called pepper that the city lord wanted to eat, but found nothing. He hoped that the city lord would not blame him. They offered A cart of fruit as apology.

Now he couldn't understand why such an ordinary letter had to be sent through so many hidden stakes and at the risk of being discovered.

"You are still young. It's my fault that dad didn't tell you these things before."

Lin Shiheng casually took the letter that his son had brought respectfully and turned it over in his hand.

Lin Laoer immediately remembered the various processes of those letters.

Could it be that there is something else in this letter?

For example, dripping water can reveal words, or it can be an acrostic poem, or it can be divided into words to spell it out.

He had a lot of fantasies, but he listened to his biological father, who was sitting as calm as a pine tree, saying leisurely:

"The news they wanted to give was not in the letter, but in the envelope. When we saw him off, there was an agreement that if anything happened, he would write a letter."

"[City Lord Wang Lin's personal message] is a three-party joint effort to deal with us. [City Lord Lin's personal message] means that one party wants to attack our Zhou city. If it is like this letter, with the words [City Lord's personal message] written on it, then There are two parties that have cooperated and are determined to fight against Zhou Cheng. "

Therefore, even if this letter is read by hundreds of people, they will only think it is an ordinary letter.

“Where did you buy this cart of fruit?”

Lin Laoer, who was shocked that his own father's routine was so unpredictable, quickly answered respectfully.

"It seems that this time, the Third Prince did not participate."

Lin Shiheng chuckled lightly, threw the letter into the incense burner, and watched it burn up.

"That's what I want."

Lin Laoer pondered for a few seconds, "Dad, do you want to form an alliance with the Third Prince?"

Although Zhou Cheng has been secretly getting stronger, he has never played in a battle. In one versus two, the winning rate is not very high.

"alliance?"

Lin Shiheng glanced at his son with disgust, "Why should I alliance with him?"

He raised his head slightly, his lips curling up playfully.

"He's already alone. If we don't come now, how long will we have to wait?"

"According to my order, the fifteen sons of the Third Prince will lead troops to assassinate the Lord of Zhou City, causing the death of my eldest son Lin Guangyao."

"We, Zhou Cheng, will fight until death!"
