Chapter 24(1/2)

: Catch the ducks and put them on the shelves

Li Ping was very depressed, very depressed.

Although he knew that he couldn't do it, he couldn't make up his mind to refuse for a moment. This was not because his sympathy was overflowing, but because he found that he was being roasted on the fire.

The big fool's panic and anxiety attracted many soldiers to come around. Now they are all looking at Li Ping, and it was they who put huge pressure on Li Ping!

Li Ping, who has been immersed in the army for many years, is very familiar with the meaning of these eyes.

That is observation and hope.

Maybe many of them don't like the silly Liu San, and are accustomed to the chaos and cruelty of this world, and are even used to being indifferent and ignored.

But these still cannot stop them from weakly longing in their hearts for their boss to be a tough guy who values ​​love and justice and can support them.

They were waiting for Li Ping's reaction, and they were also looking forward to Li Ping's reaction.

As for hitting the stone with an egg, most of these soldiers may not realize it at all, or they may not even think about it. Their level determines that most of them cannot see the twists and turns behind things at all, otherwise they would have long ago

Then he dispersed obediently.

That's why Li Ping sat on the wax.

He knew that if he just listened and let it go, all his efforts in the past twenty days would probably be in vain, and the morale of the army would also become low.

But what can he do?

It’s really a dilemma!

After pondering for a moment with a sullen face, Li Ping had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout: "What are you doing standing still? Go get weapons for me. My brothers' business is my business. If you are really wronged, you must help me no matter what."

"

As soon as Li Ping finished speaking, the anxious face of the silly big man Liu San immediately blossomed. The soldiers watching also burst into applause. A few guys who probably understood the importance and had already walked away also

Everyone turned around in surprise.

Time is of the essence. If you really want to go to them, you have to hurry up.

Resolutely stopped wanting to go with Song Baolai, Li Ping quickly returned to the house, grabbed his half leather armor, and turned around in a hurry. He was going to put it on while walking to save time.

But just as he left the door, he paused again.

After standing still for a moment, Li Ping unexpectedly threw the leather armor on the ground, then ran to a simple wooden basin with water to wash it, and then returned to the hut.

Song Baolai, who was confused by Zhang Er, didn't say much. He just picked up the leather armor silently, and then waited quietly with a sad face. He had already figured out the trouble here, and he could not interfere with Li Ping's work.

ideas.

After waiting for a long time, Li Ping came out again and put on the ocher-colored narrow-sleeved plate collar that he had just bought yesterday without any patches. His hair was also combed again, and he looked like a handsome young man. Anyway, he was completely

He no longer looked like a stinky soldier from before.

While everyone was stunned, Li Ping got on his horse and set off in high spirits.

Xiangyang City was not that big. After passing through the deserted city, they quickly approached the street not far away from them.

In addition to the stupefying chaos and shouting that came towards us, there was indeed a group of officers and soldiers wearing inconsistent uniforms and bamboo hats guarding the intersection of this street.

Most of these officers and soldiers gathered in scattered groups, with weapons of all kinds, many of them were barefoot, and most of them were looking into the street and pointing, showing extremely poor discipline.

This was probably not an elite person, and Li Ping's expression became a little more relaxed.

Looking past the gathering of officers and soldiers at the street entrance, the chaos taking place on the small street behind was clearly visible.

The lying corpses, chaotic figures, streets full of debris, unbridled laughter and cries from everywhere all clearly indicate what is happening here.

In stark contrast, the unblocked street where Li Ping is currently located cannot even be described as deserted.

All the doors and windows were closed tightly, all the life had disappeared, and the crowds that the silly big man said had disappeared, leaving only silence and emptiness. The only human figures that could still be seen were a few people who looked like official officials, but

They all stopped and watched from a distance.

But this also made the sudden arrival of Li Ping's team more eye-catching, making this neat and slightly capable team even more impactful. The officers and soldiers guarding the street were obviously a little confused.

A Ming soldier with a knife came out hesitantly. His tone was very polite, he must be a small leader.

Ma Yong, who had been specially arranged by Li Ping to negotiate, clasped his fists and announced Zuo Mengeng's name in a loud voice. At the same time, he also specifically stated that they were stationed in this city.

The Ming army with the sword looked very surprised, and it was obvious that he was a little shocked.

He raised his head and glanced at Li Ping, who was in a casual posture, and then hurriedly lowered his head timidly, and his tone became more polite.

The person they were in charge of here turned out to be just a general, and the small leader of the Ming army seemed to be able to only tell the name of their general. It was certain that the order was given, but it was impossible to say who ordered it.

It's quite unqualified.

After Ma Yong said carelessly that he came here just to find someone and asked for convenience, the young leader of the Ming army was stunned on the spot. He seemed to have no idea how to deal with it and just kept scratching his head and ears.

The reaction of the Ming army leader also stunned Li Ping.

Shouldn't he have announced the name of some general, and then arrogantly announced that they had received an order that no one should get close to them?

In this way, Li Ping could just pretend to come forward to negotiate in person, and then be sternly rejected, or maybe a well-known general would come out and drive them away on the pretext that military orders are hard to disobey.

In this way, Li Ping's subordinates also knew that this group of Ming soldiers were really acting under orders and had a huge background. They couldn't afford to offend them at all. In the end, if their unrealistic ideas were put aside, Li Ping's prestige would not be lost.

suffered too much damage.

But now, what does the reaction of the little leader of the Ming army mean?

"Then let's go in and look for someone." Ma Yong said suddenly, probably because he was rushing to talk, and he was probably confused.

Ma Yong was originally one of the few people who had no hope for the people who came to fish for him. This was also the reason why Li Ping gave him instructions and asked him to come forward to negotiate. Now it seems that the situation is different from what the two thought.

"ah?"

The reaction of the small leader of the Ming army was still ambiguous and weak.

Looking back at Li Ping in confusion, Ma Yong finally walked in without being polite. Liu San, the silly big man at the front of the team who could no longer hold himself back, immediately followed closely with excitement, and then the entire team was also led along.

Keep moving forward.

They were not blocked, and the Ming troops guarding the street all moved out of the way. Only a few soldiers hurried in, probably looking for someone.

Li Ping's head was buzzing, and his vision was full of black lines. What he was most worried about was that things were developing in a direction beyond his control. He didn't know if this was self-defeating.

Li Ping originally wanted to bluff the opponent with the appearance of an elite and neat team, troops stationed in the city, and the subordinates of Zuo Liangyu's son.

In addition, he didn't bring many soldiers, and he had specially dressed himself up. He looked a bit wealthy, so he didn't dare to make it too difficult for anyone who couldn't figure out his details for a while. In this way, he looked like a man in the scene.

It won't be too embarrassing, and your prestige won't be greatly damaged.

This is also the reason why Li Ping dared to make a mistake and come here to do it again.

But looking at it now, why did it really frighten the other party?

This is a bit out of the script. Wouldn't it be true that once they enter, there will be no turning back, and they will really disrupt the situation for others.

This is the rhythm to get into the pit!

But now that the matter has come to this, he can only take one step at a time, and Li Ping's head has to start working quickly again.

After crossing the Ming army guarding the street, the chaos in this neighborhood became clearer before our eyes.

Bodies can be seen everywhere, large and small groups of rebels walking back and forth, houses with no one left unscathed, piles of men, women, old and young who were forced to kneel on the ground, intertwined cries and begging for mercy, this street is full of chaos.

The people are undoubtedly suffering the most severe suffering.

Stopping in front of a house at the corner of the street, looking at the separated body at the door, and listening to the helpless crying and screaming of the woman coming from the open door, Li Ping's face turned blue.

According to the silly big man Liu San, this street is one of the blocks where small craftsmen gather together, and there are no dignitaries.

In other words, this rebel army must have seen it clearly before daring to be so unscrupulous.

But this is still too much, this is a provincial capital!

Li Ping, who was at the scene of a crime for the first time, was extremely uncomfortable and unable to adapt. He found that his heart was far from being as strong as he imagined. He tried hard to restrain his impulses and clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Didn't you say we were catching spies?" Li Ping finally couldn't help but asked in a deep voice.

The little leader of the Ming army who followed closely swallowed his saliva and replied hurriedly:

"Hey, Mr. Boss. If the thief can hide here, there must be a lot of people hiding here. We have to search carefully from house to house. And when we searched just now, there were a lot of rioters who not only refused to cooperate but also tried to resist.

, this made us angry, and we had to kill him as a last resort to scare the lawless people."

This little leader of the Ming army who was not good at words suddenly spoke such a long paragraph fluently and coherently, which surprised Li Ping who had not expected any answer at first.

He stared at the little leader of the Ming army in confusion, but what he got was a nervous and hard-thinking face.

Li Ping immediately realized in annoyance that the young leader of the Ming army was probably just reciting the words, and he should have been taught the words in advance. This also shows that what this group of Ming soldiers did was completely premeditated.

.

After shaking his head helplessly, Li Ping ordered the silly big man Liu San to lead everyone to the house he wanted to save the most.

Now that you've come in and bluffed the opponent, you have to give it a try to see if it works.

There is no turning back.

Following the silly big man Liu San, they turned to an alley inside and soon came to the edge of a small courtyard. Looking at the open courtyard door and listening to the woman's scream coming from the house, the silly big man

Liu San couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in immediately.
