Chapter 263 The Killer Under the Lord of Liangyue(1/2)
Chapter 263 Two Months, Fujun’s Killer
"We've all been called. The past two months have been really difficult." Gu Shanhai learned that Lord Wen'an and the two aristocratic families had been targeting Jiang Lu.
It's not that Jiang Lu had any sarcastic expression, he just simply blocked their way.
In his previous life, even if Jiang Lu raised his own warriors, no matter whether it was from aristocratic families or the Lord of Wen'an Mansion, he would not care, because the warriors Jiang Lu prepared at that time were all ordinary people, even if they were successfully trained.
They are just ordinary soldiers and have no influence on them at all.
But in this life, what Jiang Lu prepared was not ordinary soldiers, but real Tao soldiers, and these three forces could tell at a glance what was extraordinary about them.
Therefore, in two months, even with the versatile Li Yu working in the middle, he could barely achieve half of the originally expected training effect.
Then the rebels came.
Gu Shanhai had reason to suspect that it was probably the two aristocratic families in Wen'an City who were responsible.
The aristocratic family does not care about the interests of the court, but of course takes their own interests as the first factor. Lord Wen'an also acquiesced in this behavior. The reason is also very simple. He needs a political achievement.
As a newly appointed governor, he is unable to produce any good results in a short period of time.
But if the rebellion happened to be suppressed for a while, then it would be there. Although it is not much, it can at least be seen.
As for why the two aristocratic families wanted to kill Jiang Lu, it was naturally because the other party had too many Taoist soldiers.
Because of Li Yu's joining, they did not plan to recruit ordinary soldiers at all. All the Li family's assets became 500 Tao soldiers, and each person had 100 Tao soldiers as combat strength.
You must know that the Taoist soldiers raised by the aristocratic families in Wen'an Mansion can only support a thousand people each. The current prince is a bit richer and has brought 1,500 Taoist soldiers. Otherwise, these two big
The aristocratic family must not give the prince a hint of authority.
Under Fu Jun's fist, his majesty will definitely be gone.
But now, a mere idiot, even if you are a member of the royal family, dares to have five hundred Taoist soldiers, which makes them feel a sense of crisis.
If they really do something great next, they might become the third aristocratic family, so how can they endure it.
"But the experience of these two months is enough to become valuable experience for Jiang Lu and others."
After the five hundred Dao soldiers were successfully formed, the two major families restrained themselves and did not dare to continue targeting them.
When the other party was making a gun, they dared to be weird, but after the other party had a gun, they didn't dare because they really knew how to shoot.
But he just restrained himself and did not give up, otherwise rebels would come to Wen'an Mansion.
Although it will develop in the first place, under normal circumstances it is impossible to come over at this point in time.
Fortunately, Lord Wen'an doesn't mind who goes to put down the rebellion. His default is that when the rebels arrive, someone will give him a score after putting down the rebellion.
He didn't care whether this person belonged to the two great families or Jiang and Lu.
After Jiang Lu led troops to quell the rebellion, the current Lord Wen'an stood on the same front as Jiang Lu. As for the soldiers of the imperial court, they were not all in the hands of Lord Wen'an. How could he be willing to use his own?
Wouldn't it be better if we have soldiers to consume and people with tools to do the work? We can only give them three days of food at most.
He could turn a blind eye when the two aristocratic families attracted rebels, but if the two aristocratic families wanted to stab Jiang Lu in the back, Lord Wen'an would kill the two aristocratic families at this time.
First of all, once Jiang Lu fails, then he will have to have a share of the defeat on his hands. What's more, your two aristocratic families are helping the rebels to attack Xiangyong under the imperial court today. What? Do you want to rebel too?
Today I help the rebels deal with Xiang Yong of the imperial court, but tomorrow I will have to cut off his head as a tribute to the city.
If Jiang Lu wins, it will be different. He has two achievements in his hand. The first one is to wipe out the rebels. This may have to be divided equally with Jiang Lu, but it doesn't matter to Fu Jun, but the second one is to wipe out the rebels.
It's different. It's a result of education and meritorious service. The emergence of such a warrior shows that he is a good king. When the court is in trouble, there are righteous people to help. After all, it is in line with the policy of raising local bravery.
Lord Wen'an never worried that Jiang Lu would be powerful. After the rebellion was suppressed, he could just arrange for him to be appointed as a county captain or the like.
Five hundred Dao soldiers? Then Jiang and Lu must be able to support them. Even though there are many now, they have also received dividends from the court. When they stabilize, they can be dragged to death. You must know that even the aristocratic families in Wen'an City can only afford to support them.
One thousand, how long can they support five hundred soldiers with all their family resources?
Therefore, in the eyes of Mr. Wen'an Mansion, they are just temporary tools. In terms of utility, they are obviously at a higher level than the previous one. There will be no impatience or the urge to kill the donkey before retreating.
Gu Shanhai also guessed this, so he was not worried that things would fail.
It was now the third day that Jiang Lu led troops to suppress the rebellion, and Gu Shanhai finally understood why a group of rebels made the entire Otaki and even the army leader tired of dealing with them.
Because there are too many, not to mention other things, including the sericulture village where he is located, the food has doubled several times, and the current price of food is simply not affordable for ordinary people.
Coupled with the situation of drought and floods, people are hungry and anxious, but they don't care about anything.
Natural disasters alone can't actually shake Otaki, but a personal disaster happens again, which becomes a big problem. People in the sericulture village are also in a state of confusion, and everyone's eyes are almost green.
It seems that many people have defected to the rebels recently, but everyone is silent on this.
If you can't live anymore, you can't ask an old farmer who faces the loess all day long to say he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Let them have enough to eat. If they don't have enough to eat, they will naturally do whatever they like.
It is precisely because of this that the rebel team becomes more and more terrifying, especially after the rebels capture some cities, they will open warehouses to release grain and kill local powerful families to share the money. Of course, they will mostly attack ordinary people, but they will die.
Friends are not poor, as long as they have food, drink and money.
In fact, Gu Shanhai was quite confused about this. How could a group of ordinary people who were not even considered soldiers be able to defeat a group of Taoist soldiers?
He didn't know the specific situation, and he had never met this group of rebels, so he didn't know.
However, it is certain that this group of rebels must have other extraordinary sources, and the gap in power level cannot be smoothed out by faith at all.
If a group of people who can destroy mountains with a single blow fight against a group of ordinary people, it is unlikely that the latter will win.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu" came a quick voice.
"Master Jiang won the first battle, killing three thousand enemies and successfully repelled the invading rebels."
Outside the door, a servant of the Li Mansion came running out of breath to congratulate Gu Shan.
"Not bad, is there any other news?" Gu Shanhai asked casually.
Since this group of domestic slaves were assigned to take care of Gu Shanhai and Li Hui, they had a lot of leisure time on weekdays. In addition, Gu Shanhai also asked them to go out and inquire about news. Needless to say, they were still quite capable.
"Yes, after the Wang family and the Xu family learned the news, they each left with three hundred soldiers to reinforce Mr. Jiang." The slave said with a slightly unhappy expression.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are here to gain reinforcements rather than to gain credit.
When they saw Jiang Lu and others eating the meat, they naturally became jealous. They didn't want to get a piece of the meat, but were prepared to eat the whole piece of meat. The way to eat it was very simple, just to crowd Jiang Lu away.
"Haha, I only saw the thief eating meat, but not the thief being beaten." Gu Shanhai also smiled when he heard this.
Didn't you see that even Lord Wen'an didn't make any move? It's obvious that the other party knew something, so he didn't make any move. Otherwise, if he had gone to quell the rebellion himself, his achievements would have been even more dazzling.
"Mr. Gu, are you saying?" The slave had an idea.
"I didn't say anything." Gu Shanhai suppressed his smile and said nothing.
"Yes, yes, you didn't say anything." The house slave is also a sensible person. He knows that Gu Shanhai is a capable person, which means that the other party knows something.
"Then do you want to remind Mr. Jiang?" the servant asked again.
"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing." Gu Shanhai knew that this slave wanted to be appreciated by him. Not to mention leaving the slave status, hanging around Gu Shanhai would be a good thing.
Gu Shanhai didn't care too much about his petty thoughts. Everyone would have desires and petty thoughts. Those who really have no desires or desires are the most terrifying people.
Even Gu Shanhai has corresponding desires. If he really wants to meet someone who has no desires at all, Gu Shanhai will definitely recommend that person to follow the path of ruthlessness or inaction, and then stay away from him, preferably not for the rest of his life.
The kind of person you meet.
When the slave heard this, he could only smile bitterly, and finally had no choice but to leave.
"Then again, order is really a good thing." Gu Shanhai couldn't help but sigh. If there was no order, the two aristocratic families would have come to kill Jiang Lu.
"But this family is also interesting. On the one hand, it relies on the imperial court, but on the other hand, it does not need the imperial court."
Gu Shanhai also complained that the current Lord of Wen'an Mansion was also from an aristocratic family, but he came from a big family. It would be difficult for him alone to raise 1,500 soldiers, while the Wang family and the Wang family in Wen'an City
The Xu family is also an aristocratic family, but they can only raise a thousand Taoist soldiers. Any more will make the income and expenditure unbalanced.
While he was thinking about it, Gu Shanhai noticed something was wrong.
"Who is this? Why did you climb over the wall and come in without using the door?"
Gu Shanhai noticed that someone came in over the wall instead of the main entrance, and with his spiritual awareness, he also discovered that the person was a Taoist soldier.
"It's not Jinwu Taoist soldiers and Kuangsha Taoist soldiers, it's a new breed of Taoist soldiers." Gu Shanhai narrowed his eyes. These two Taoist soldiers belong to the Wang family and the Xu family respectively.
"So, it's the blood-armored Taoist soldier who is the current Lord of Wen'an Mansion."
In the entire Wen'an City, besides Jiang Lu, there are only three forces that have Taoist soldiers. Unfortunately, Gu Shanhai knows Jinwu Taoist soldiers and Kuangsha Taoist soldiers.
So after ruling out the impossibility, the most likely thing is that Lord Wen'an wants to get rid of him.
"The Blood Armor Taoist Soldier is a middle-grade Taoist Soldier. It has four abilities: the active ability Blood Explosion, which can burn its own blood to increase its strength, the active ability Blood Armor, which can use blood to create a special armor to protect itself, and the active ability Blood Armor, which can absorb the opponent's blood to restore itself.
The passive ability to draw blood, and the passive ability to burn the opponent's blood when attacking."
It is a very comprehensive Taoist soldier that has both offense and defense, as well as control, amplification, recovery, etc. It is at least much stronger than the Jinwu Taoist soldier and the Kuangsha Taoist soldier.
Over the past few days, Gu Shanhai had gained a lot of knowledge about the world's military masters and Taoist soldiers, and naturally he also knew the abilities of blood-armored Taoist soldiers.
"Why did the other party want to kill me? Or did they want to kill this unlucky kid like Li Hui?" Gu Shanhai watched the blood-armored Taoist soldier enter the courtyard with some confusion.
"Yeah, it looks like he is planning to kill me." Gu Shanhai found that the other party was heading straight towards his room.
Obviously, they have found out everything, so they can just hack themselves to death when they come over.
This blood-armored Taoist soldier quietly pried open the door of Gu Shanhai's room. As for the servants and the like, they had been lured away long ago. With the power of Lord Wen'an, he wanted to use some small means to
To be continued...
