Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 146 Harvesting a Qingzhou Army
"Miss, this is what happened."

Back at the Yi family courtyard, Xiao Ling told Yi Shiyan exactly what happened before.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling's own eyes gleamed a little.

This was the first time she saw Chen Mo's methods.

Act resolutely and without any sloppiness.

Although she didn't know who Yang Qushuai and General Yuan were, the thief who dared to make such a noise must have a strong background, but even so, he was still beheaded by his uncle.

Ever since, the image of a hero who was not afraid of power and made decisions for the people appeared in Xiaoling's mind.

Through Xiao Ling's description, Yi Shiyan fell in love with her husband even more. The depression that arose in her heart about being a concubine disappeared at this moment.

If you like someone, then your eyes will be full of his goodness.

Heroic and domineering, upright, not afraid of power, acting resolutely, and making decisions for the people, all these images were ascribed to Chen Mo by Yi Shiyan.

When I read storybooks before, I always felt that the descriptions of heroes in the storybooks were too vague and abstract.

But at this moment, Chen Mo is the big hero in her heart.

This is what the so-called heroes are like.

She looked at the almanac hanging on the wall. For the first time, she felt that time passed so slowly. She really wanted to hurry in.

……

Because the county government killed several people from Yang Jinwu, Chen Mo did not return to the village.

Although the killing was a pleasure and his image among the people had deepened, he could not consider the trouble that would result from killing these people.

Because Chen Mo found something on these people that could prove their identity.

The seventh-level warrior was named He Jinwu, and he had a seal on his body that belonged to the Hujie Army under Yuan Youchun. He was the commander of the Hujie Army, which proved that what he said was true.

Of course, Chen Mo did not regret killing them. If the other party killed someone in front of a large audience and he did not punish him, then how would he govern the county in the future.

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers. After thinking for a while, Chen Mo crushed the seal that represented He Jinwu's identity. Then he called Wu Shan and a captain of the Shen Yong Guard who were present at the time and asked them to bite him to death. At that time, only a few thieves who had faked their identities were killed.

That's right, Chen Mo plans to kill him without any evidence.

But what Chen Mo didn't know was that when he was killing He Jinwu, a spy from the Hujie Army was in the crowd and left quietly after he killed the person.

That night, he returned to Qingting County and told Yuan Youchun the news.

When Yuan Youchun learned about this, he was furious and smashed the table in front of him with one palm.

For He Jinwu, it is impossible to say that he is not sad.

It is impossible to say that I am as sad as my father or my mother is dead.

The sadness was just like the death of a dog that had been with me for more than 20 years.

Of course, his anger is greater than his sadness. He Jinwu, his adopted son, is also his right-hand man. He knows what he wants. For things that are inconvenient for him to do, as long as he knows something, this adopted son will help him. Do it, and do it cleanly.

As for the six young ladies rumored to have died in the hands of He Jinwu, half of them actually died in his hands, but He Jinwu took half of the blame for him.

The mother and daughter who are serving him now were also found for him by his adopted son.

Of course, it was more about slapping him in the face, knowing that the other person was his adopted son, and killing his adopted son in front of everyone.

Didn't take him seriously at all.

But it is not appropriate to send troops to fight the opponent.

After all, the other party is in the same camp as him. If they fight, it will be equivalent to killing each other. If word spreads, it will make Qu Shuai lose face in front of other Qu Shuai, saying that he can't even discipline his subordinates.

But if he gave up, he would lose face.

In short, it must be controlled within a certain degree.

Yuan Youchun tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Tomorrow I will ask Vice Commander Bai to lead a team of people to accompany you to Pingting County to ask for an explanation from Chen Mo."

"promise."

The next afternoon, Fuze Village.

"Xie Baifu, this is the Master Chen Xian I told you just now, and he is also the current county magistrate of Pingting County, Chen Mo."

"Master Chen Xian, this is Wei Qing, the centurion of the ninth battalion of the former Qingzhou Army."

Gao Ming pointed to his former boss and said to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo glanced at Wei Qing. This man was a middle-aged man, wearing a damaged armor, with dark skin and a kind temperament. He held a long gun in his hand.

The most eye-catching thing is the tattoo on the other person's face.

Only those who are called thieves and soldiers will have tattoos on their faces.

Of course, what Chen Mo cares about is the number on his forehead, 36+6.He heard Gao Ming come to report that his former boss led a group of people to surrender to him, and that the other party was a qualified warrior, so Chen Mo came to meet him in person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to alert him.

After all, they were elites who had been on the battlefield and killed people. They looked at the more than 70 Qingzhou Army soldiers behind Wei Qing. The armor leaves of the iron armor were shining brightly in the sun. Under the left bow and right sword, they were high-spirited and their eyes were high. It was full of arrogance and murderous intent.

Moreover, Chen Mo saw that their positions were also very particular. They looked after each other and could quickly form formations in case of emergencies.

"Teacher Gao told me about Wei Baifu, whom I have admired for a long time." A person who was sent to the army can become a warrior and become a centurion. It has to be said that he has some strength.

Of course, what Chen Mo said was just polite, and Gao Ming had not mentioned Wei Qing to him before.

Gao Ming had a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

"County Magistrate Chen, you're welcome. I'll take my brothers to find a way out. If Magistrate Chen doesn't dislike us deserters, can we give him a meal?" Wei Qing handed over his hand, his tone was sincere and his attitude was very low.

Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Wei Baifu? It's Chen's honor for you brothers to come and help me."

His words made Wei Qing and his party feel much better.

Speaking of which, they were a group of deserters, and Chen Mo said they were county magistrates, but in fact they were rebels. Now that they have come to surrender to the rebels, the other party did not ridicule them, but said these words, which gave people a good impression. .

However, Chen Mo's next words made their expressions change slightly.

"Before that, I have a few questions to ask Wei Baifu." Chen Mo said.

"Excuse me, County Magistrate."

"The Qingzhou army has been defeated for a long time. Why is Wei Baifu still in Qingzhou? Why did he come to join me now?" Chen Mo asked.

Hearing this, Wei Qing smiled bitterly: "To be honest, we were surrounded by bandits and were stranded in a deep mountain. We only came out a few days ago, and if we hadn't heard about the magistrate's kindness to others, the army would have There are also brothers from the Qingzhou Army, and unlike other Tianshi armies, I will not bring my brothers to surrender to you."

"Wei Da, Chen Xianshi and the Tianshi Army are not the same. The reason why they joined the Tianshi Army was just to protect the people of Pingting County." Gao Ming explained for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was secretly happy. It seemed that the reputation he had created had worked.

He added: "Teacher Gao told me that he was once a cavalryman, so Wei Baifu's team should be cavalrymen. Why do they only have so few horses?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Qing and his party were immediately embarrassed. They were silent for a long time, and then they said: "Some of them were lost after the war, and some were slaughtered and eaten when they were stranded in the mountains."

Hearing this, Chen Mo also fell silent.

He understood in his heart that when a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything.

I heard that during the severe drought in the Northland the year before last, it was nothing new to change children and eat them.

"I am very relieved that Wei Baifu can tell the truth. Everyone is welcome to join." Chen Mo said.

Wei Qing and others breathed a sigh of relief, with a touch of joy on their faces. They finally had a place to stay and no longer had to run around.

"Of course, I know that you are all very capable, but according to the rules of the army, you are all new recruits when you join, so the treatment you enjoy for the time being is the treatment of new recruits. I will let Instructor Gao tell you the details of the treatment.

But please rest assured, I want to form a cavalry, and I am currently purchasing war horses, so you will soon be able to use them, and your salary will definitely increase by then. "Chen Mo talked about the treatment.

"If County Magistrate Chen can give us a bite to eat and a place to live, we will be satisfied. As for the treatment, we don't dare to ask for extravagant benefits." Wei Qing said.

"No, Chen has clear rewards and punishments. If you are really capable, Chen will naturally give you the treatment you deserve." Chen Mo said.

"Thank you so much, County Magistrate Chen." Wei Qing cupped his hand and said.

"You're welcome. Since we are one of our own from now on, I will say the ugly things first."

Chen Mo took out the bow whistle from his waist, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, then turned around and shot without looking.

The arrow shot through the air and hit the target dozens of steps away.

With a "pop" sound, the target shattered.

"Since you respect my orders, you will be rich and powerful in the future. If you dare to disobey my orders, you will be like this. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

Chen Mo put away his strong bow and said.

Wei Qing and the others stared blankly at first, then swallowed subconsciously. After hearing Chen Mo's voice, they immediately shouted in unison: "No."

They had heard from Gao Ming that Chen Mo had extraordinary abilities and was a middle-grade warrior.

After actually meeting him, I was a little disbelieving seeing how young Chen Mo was.

But when I saw the scene in front of me, I had to believe it.

"Teacher Gao, please arrange for them to go down and rest." Chen Mo ordered Gao Mingdao. He knew that he had captured this group of deserters.

At this moment, Zhang He hurried over on horseback. Because the matter was too urgent, when he turned over and dismounted, he fell to the ground in panic. He rolled and crawled in front of Chen Mo. He glanced around to see if he had seen him. People should say in private:
"Brother Mo, what's wrong, someone from Qingting County came and said they wanted to get an explanation for yesterday's incident.

Master Chen Xian, it seems that the person we killed yesterday was indeed the adopted son of Yuan Youchun. "

Hearing this, Chen Mo frowned and asked quickly, "Where is the person?"

"In the Yamen, Lord Zhao Bo and Commander Sun are greeting me," Zhang He said.
