"That guy was scared to death."
Liu Xigua repeated it again in front of everyone's gaze.
Fang Shuchang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment and whispered, "Really? I didn't see that..."
Liu Xigua turned to look at Zuo Yu, who was smiling. He was silent for a moment and said softly, "Although General Li is skilled in martial arts, he is even better at commanding troops. He always acts decisively and has a military style. If he really dares to attack you, he will not threaten you with words."
Zuo Yu said with emotion: "After all, they are heroes. They are all people who cherish their lives. I understand."
Hearing Zuo Yu's still unscrupulous comments, the people in the Ba Dao Camp did not respond as they did before, but instead fell silent.
Liu Xigua stared at Zuo Yu's face and suddenly said, "It's not just Li Shuai. I'm scared to death too... Did you really kill 900 people?"
Ye Zixun raised his eyebrows, looked at the sea of blood and corpses around him, and said with a smile: "The bodies are all here, count them yourself!"
The frivolous words sounded like naked threats to everyone.
For a moment, everyone in the Tyrant Blade Camp was silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat stiff.
The awkward atmosphere was not eased until Ning Yi brought Xiao Chan and others out of Four Seasons House.
Xiaochan didn't dare to look at the horrific scene around her. She hid behind Ning Yi and buried her head in his shoulder.
Ning Yi frowned and scanned the scene on the street before looking at Liu Xigua and the people from the Badao Camp.
Double-edged Blade Ji Qian'er glanced at him and immediately understood. She jumped off her warhorse, came to Ning Yi, supported Xiaochan, and led the pale ladies away while comforting them with a gentle voice.
"My Lord."
Ning Yi stopped in front of his horse and bowed, then asked in a low voice: "This happened suddenly, and it was a bit hasty, I hope the lord will not blame me."
Liu Xigua silently glanced at Zuo Yu and the other two who had already walked to Ning Yi's side, and shook his head calmly, "Do I dare?"
Ye Zixun laughed when he heard this: "Commander Liu is quite frank, I like that. No wonder you, my fourth brother, are willing to stay here and work."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the Ba Dao Camp behind Liu Xigua breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally stiff atmosphere became relaxed.
Liu Xigua dismounted, looked at Ning Yi and said, "Since the matter is over, military advisor, please follow me back to the camp!"
Ning Yi glanced at Zuo Yu and the others, and seeing that they had no objection, he nodded and said, "Of course."
Liu Xigua turned to look at Zuo Yu: "Where are the three of you?"
Ye Zixun put his arm around Ning Yi's shoulders and said with a smile, "Wherever Fourth Brother goes, we will go."
Seeing Ye Zixun's statement, Liu Xigua finally smiled. She nodded and waved her hand. Fang Shuchang and others behind her and the five hundred elite soldiers of the Ba Dao Camp immediately turned their horses around and headed in the direction they came from.
On the way out, Liu Xigua led the horse and walked side by side with Ning Yi.
"...I will ask Chen Fan to deal with the bodies on the street. He is in charge of public security. He has been lying in bed recovering from his injuries these days and has nothing to do. It's time to find something for him to do."
Ning Yi nodded, and Liu Xigua continued, "Bao Daoyi is dead, Chen Fan should be very happy, but he may be a little depressed because he can't take revenge himself. I'm worried that he will overestimate his own abilities and come to your three brothers to compete. I hope you can stop him when the time comes... I also hope that the three gentlemen can show mercy to him."
Ning Yi smiled and said, "I will."
Zuo Yu also smiled and said, "Don't worry, we brothers have a lot of experience in showing mercy."
“…”
Liu Xigua was speechless for a moment, and after a while he continued: "I have already implemented all the things you asked the Ba Dao Battalion to do."
"But Bao Daoyi's power is huge, and the Tyrant Blade Camp has few people in Hangzhou. I'm afraid they can't take in too many. Besides, you also said the importance of ideological work. Bao Daoyi indulged his men in burning, killing and looting. I didn't want any of those soldiers who had tasted the taste of looting. I gave them all away, leaving only more than 800 people who still had consciences."
Ning Yi nodded in appreciation: "If it were me, I would do the same."
Liu Xigua smiled and asked, "What's next?"
Ning Yi's smile faded, he turned his head and looked towards the northwest, sighing softly, "Let's just get through this first. After all, the rebels are rebels, and it's hard for them to transform from the underworld to the imperial court in a short period of time. I predict that the army sent by the imperial court will first besiege the city, using the strategy of surrendering and conquering the hearts of the people, so that the morale of the rebels will be unsettled, and Hangzhou will fall without a fight..."
Liu Xigua was silent for a long time before he asked, "Military Advisor, do you have any good ideas?"
Ning Yi shook his head: "No, unless all the rebel camps are Tyrant Blade Camps."
Of course this is impossible!
Liu Xigua knew it very well, and sighed softly, "It is just as the military advisor said. Can't my righteous army see a future?..."
After saying that, Liu Xigua seemed to have thought of something. He turned over and jumped onto the horse's back, left the main group, and ran forward alone.
Ye Zixun asked curiously, "What is she going to do?"
Ning Yi sighed and said, "Of course I will go meet Fang La and repeat what I said."
Ye Zixun curled his lips and said, "Is it useful?"
Ning Yi shook his head: "It's useless."
Ye Zixun smiled and said, "It seems that Hangzhou will fall soon... Fourth brother should make plans early."
Zuo Yu came from behind and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. Fourth brother has already made a plan."
When he said the last sentence, Zuo Yu looked at Ning Yi meaningfully.
Ning Yi recalled the "chance encounter" at Four Seasons Residence just now, smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject: "By the way, second brother, I saw Lou Shuwang's head at the entrance of the Four Seasons Residence lobby...Did you do it?"
"Yes." Zuo Yu sighed, "He recognized me, and I was worried that it would implicate the Tyrant Blade Camp, so I killed him. Who knew that your mistress would dare to stand up for us? Now he died in vain..."
Ning Yi twitched his lips and said hypocritically: "What a pity."
Zuo Yu also nodded: "Yes, what a pity..."
After some hypocritical sighs, the two quickly changed the subject and continued chatting and laughing about other things.
As for the dead Lou Shuwang, no one cares about him except the Lou family.
The Fang La army was either busy swallowing up Bao Daoyi's inheritance or planning for their own future. Who would care about the eldest son of a wealthy businessman who was already on their prey list?
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ye Zixun smiled.
In the entire city of Hangzhou, only he and Li Yun knew the reason why Zuo Yu killed Lou Shuwang.
The second son of the Lou family, Lou Shuheng, is interested in Ning Yi's wife Su Tan'er and is considered Ning Yi's love rival. After the fall of Hangzhou, the Lou family surrendered to Fang La and gained power that they could not have obtained under the laws of the imperial court.
Lou Shuheng grew up reading books of sages. Although he was naughty before, he was a law-abiding person.
Once he was given such power over life and death, he could do whatever he wanted, burning, killing, looting, and taking human lives. Lou Shuheng became addicted to it and quickly degenerated from a handsome young man into a very evil person.
In the original plot, Lou Shuheng accidentally ran into Su Tan'er who returned to Hangzhou, and felt that he was no longer the same Lou Shuheng as before, so he became evil and looked for an opportunity to abduct Su Tan'er back to the Lou family.
After Ning Yi learned about it, he brought the Tyrant Blade Camp to the door and killed the head of the Lou family, Lou Jinlin, and the eldest son, Lou Shuwang, leaving only the waste Lou Shuheng and the woman Lou Shuwan.
Only then did the curtains open on Bao Daoyi's death.
But now, Zuo Yu and his two companions used absolute force to kill Bao Daoyi in the street and also killed Lou Shuwang at the same time.
Hangzhou is in chaos as a result, and Lou Jinlin, the head of the Lou family, is forced to turn his attention to the good-for-nothing Lou Shuheng because of the death of his eldest son.
This means that the plot where Lou Shuheng kidnaps Su Tan'er should not happen.
Although this kind of plot of bursting out after being frustrated is indeed very satisfying, Zuo Yu and others are planning to recruit Ning Yi into the alliance after all. How can they allow such a thing to happen to their brother and sister-in-law?
Even if her chastity is intact, it is absolutely unacceptable for her sister-in-law to fall into the hands of a thief.
…
…
Ever since Zuo Yu and his two brothers killed Bao Daoyi, Ning Yi and the three brothers have become extremely special existences in Ba Dao Camp and even in the whole Hangzhou.
The Ba Dao Camp, which originally had some brotherly relations with Ning Yi, was now deliberately distancing itself from him.
To say that I was alienated is not quite accurate. To be more precise, I should say that I kept my distance from them…
After all, after witnessing the combined power of Zuo Yu and the other two, everyone would feel awe. Even Ning Yi, who had already guessed the identities of these three people, found it difficult to remain calm in front of them.
Three people broke the army...
Ning Yi stood under the eaves, looking at the moon in the sky with a sense of loss.
Before meeting them, Ning Yi would never believe that someone could compete with an army with personal strength.
"…Who are you and what are you doing in Hangzhou?"
Hearing her husband's murmurs outside the house, Su Tan'er walked out silently and gently hugged him from behind.
She is now four months pregnant and her belly is slightly bulging.
Although it didn't look very obvious because she was wrapped in a black winter dress, when she lay on Ning Yi's back, the little life sandwiched between her parents still made her existence very clearly known to her father.
Ning Yi turned around and held his wife Su Tan'er's hand.
Su Tan'er knew her husband's complex feelings, so she held his hand and said with a smile: "During the time in Huzhou, I always wondered how my husband was doing now. When I was alone, I always thought about my life in Jiangning."
"It was so good back then. My husband was a teacher, telling stories and playing chess every day, and I was thinking about the small matters of the family business, living one day at a time. But now, I have only come to Hangzhou, why should I get involved in these things?"
"When I think about it this way, I always feel like I'm dreaming, but when I wake up, I'm alone in Huzhou again..."
Su Tan'er spoke in a trivial and confused manner, but the expression on her face seemed calm and composed.
She smiled and said, "My husband may not understand how I felt at that time, but what I want to say is that although I came here a little impulsively, I have thought about it carefully before coming here."
"No matter what happens in the future, as long as I am with my husband, I think I can accept it..."
