Chapter 657 Celebrating the New Year

His younger brother, Kong Rong, was particularly outstanding in his learning. Although he was only fifteen years old, he was already proficient in various Confucian classics and could be called the leader of the younger generation of the Kong family.

Just as the Kong family was celebrating, the 90,000-strong rebel army led by Chen Man and Lu Qing had already quietly arrived outside Lu County.

Looking at the pitch-black city walls of Lu County, Chen Man and Lu Qing exchanged a glance and chuckled softly.

Hundreds of soldiers then placed the ladders against the city wall of Lu County and climbed the wall without any hindrance.

Soon, the city gates slowly opened, and Chen Man and Lu Qing led the rebel army in single file.

After entering the city, Lu Qing looked at the steward beside him and said loudly, "Immediately send men to guard the four city gates!"

"promise!!"

After receiving the order, the steward immediately directed several groups of men to run towards the city gate.

Seeing this, Chen Man immediately said, "Brother Lu, let's go to the Kong family together!"

Lu Qing nodded: "Okay!!"

Subsequently, Chen Man and Lu Qing led a large group of men toward the Kong family, while the other rebel leaders led their men toward the wealthy households in the city.

At this moment, the Kong family members, who were celebrating in their mansion, were completely unaware of the sudden entry of the rebel army into the city and continued their banquet.

As midnight approached, Kong Bao rose, picked up his wine cup, looked at everyone in the hall, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard shouts coming from outside the hall.

Then, with a loud "bang," the hall door was kicked open, and a group of people wielding swords and knives suddenly rushed into the hall.

The members of the Kong family were all horrified and quickly stood up and backed away.

Kong Bao demanded, "Who are you? How dare you be so rude?!"

"My name is Lu Qing from Fanyang. I greet Patriarch Kong!"

As they were talking, the imposter Lu Qing pushed through the crowd and slowly walked into the hall from outside.
