Section 553: Retreat the enemy with a hammer
.Chapter 553: Repel the enemy with one hammer
"Madam, the master asked me to pick you up." The general of the family said to the former mistress of the Ye family who walked out of the carriage.
"Hmph, come and pick me up? Did you ask Liu Fang to catch me?" Ye's mother asked with a sarcastic look on her face.
"...No matter what you say? The master's order is to bring you back, regardless of your life or death."
"Don't matter if you don't care?" When the two brothers of the Ye family heard this, they were furious and suddenly sent out weapons. Although their martial arts were not very good, they were unwilling to sit and wait for death. Even if they died, they should not be caught like pigs and dogs.
"Yunwen, Yunwu, put away the weapons." Ye's mother spoke.
"But mom..." The second brothers of the Ye family were about to retort when they saw the xiǎo girl Ye Linglong quietly pulling the corner of their clothes. When they looked back, they saw Chen Baxian smiled confidently at him, and then shook the double hammers in his hands at them. Ye Yunwen and Ye Yunwu immediately understood and put away the weapons obediently. Chen Baxian had seen the sledgehammer in his hand with his own eyes. At that time, they tried it on purpose, but they tried it hard to pick up a hammer, let alone danced it, but Chen Baxian could dance the hammer quickly and hold it as light as if nothing... Everything was a brother-in-law. Ye Yunwen and Ye Yunwu were at ease and enjoyed the treatment of being brother-in-law.
Chen Baxian urged him to step forward, blocked Ye’s mother and Liu Fang to separate the two of them, and pointed at the generals of the family and said, “You are Liu Fang, are you? Take your people back. As long as I am here, you will not have the chance to take any of them.”
"Who are you?" Liu Fang asked cautiously.
"Only I only report my opponent's name on the life and death field. Are you sure you want to be my opponent?" Chen Baxian asked arrogantly.
Liu Fang couldn't help but get furious when he heard this. As a person with vision, although he didn't know the strength of this nosy guy in front of him, Liu Fang could guess Chen Baxian's skills by observing Chen Baxian's mount. Any good horse is a psychic and without real ability, they would generally rather die than surrender. If he can subdue such a horse, his own ability is definitely not bad.
"Xiǎozi, you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue. Just you can beat the 200 people I brought with you. Can you guarantee that those people will not be lost under our siege? I advise you to leave as soon as possible to avoid losing your life." Liu Fang threatened Chen Baxian with a fierce expression.
"I don't need to threaten people like you. Old man, you are out of touch with the times and are out of date. It's better to take advantage of the life of your life while you have a few days left to live." Chen Baxian said to Liu Fang with a sarcastic look on his face.
Liu Fang's face suddenly became darker than the bottom of the pot. As the commander of the Ye family, he has always been the one who has been squeezing others and was damaged by others. "Okay, okay, since you don't want to live anymore, then why would I regret you? Come, kill him and reward ten gold coins." Liu Fang's opponent ordered.
"Let's wait!" Chen Baxian shouted.
"What? It's too late to surrender now." Liu Fang said to Chen Baxian with a sneer.
"Hmph, it's like a fool to kill you guys. Let you wait a while because I don't want to commit more murder. Who is not raised by my parents in life? It's reasonable to die on the battlefield, but it's really not worth dying here for no reason. So I have a suggestion that it can not only avoid major casualties, but also determine the fate of us."
"What suggestions do you have?" Liu Fang asked.
Chen Baxian was waiting for Liu Fang to ask a question. When he heard Liu Fang's question, he immediately replied: "It's very simple. Take me three hammers. As long as you can catch me, the people behind me will be taken away. If you can't catch me three hammers, then you will take your men to fight back. How about it?"
Liu Fang thought about it and looked at the sledgehammer in Chen Baxian's hand. Seeing Chen Baxian's relaxed look, he couldn't help but think that what Chen Baxian was holding should be just a wooden hammer, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you said. But if I take your three hammers, you must abide by the agreement and no longer handle the family affairs of the Ye family."
"No problem." Chen Baxian agreed and then asked again: "Do you choose to pick it up on the ground or ride it on a horse?"
When Liu Fang heard this, he thought to himself: "It is better to stand on the ground to pick it up." Then he said, "I will pick it up on the ground." After that, Liu Fang turned over and dismounted, took the shield handed over by his subordinates, and said to Chen Baxian: "Come on."
Chen Ba jumped off the horse first, and walked slowly towards Liu Fang with two sledgehammers in his hand. Ye Yunwen asked Ye Linglong in a singular voice: "Sister, can our brother-in-law be okay?"
Ye Linglong didn't care about what her elder brother called Chen Baxian, and nodded heavily and said, "No problem. Brother, do you think Lord Feng Yang is good at lord?"
"Is that needless to say? Can he be called Feng Yang Tiger if he is not powerful?" Ye Yunwen replied in confusion.
"That's it. Brother Baxian is someone who can follow the hands of Lord Fengyang. How could a guy like Liu Fang, who struggled to take advantage of his opponent?" Ye Linglong couldn't help but feel a hint of pride on his face when she said this.
As the three siblings spoke, Chen Baxian had already walked to a place less than five meters below Liu Fang. Then Liu Fang took two steps, jumped forward suddenly, and raised his hammer to hit Liu Fang's shield in front of him. Liu Fang suddenly felt as if he was hit by a siege car, and he was knocked out directly. He flew seven or eight meters in the air before falling to the ground. He lay there and gasped.
The generals of the Ye Mansion hurried over and saw that Liu Fang's mouth bleed and his arms kept trembling. "Good guy, the iron shield was actually concave. How strong is that boy?" A general picked up the shield on the ground and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Help me up, be gentle. My arms are broken." Liu Fang lay on the ground, gritted his teeth and ordered everyone.
Everyone quickly helped Liu Fang up. The pain in his arms made Liu Fang's forehead sweat. He looked at Chen Baxian and said resentfully: "I can do it. I will admit defeat this time, so I dare to leave my life for me to take revenge in the future."
"Brother, don't." Ye Linglong shook his head and shouted at Chen Baxian. He was afraid that Chen Ba would tell Liu Fang and others first. Chen Ba looked back at Linglong and smiled slightly. He then said to Liu Fang: "When you can beat me, I will tell you what my name is. Can I leave now with the person behind me?"
"I lost. I can't control their stay or leave. But I will tell my master about this. I can't guarantee what you will encounter at that time." Liu Fang replied honestly.
"Thank you for your reminder, but as long as I am here, I will not let Aunt Ye and the others get into trouble." Chen Baxian replied confidently.
Looking at Chen Baxian and his group who were leaving, Liu Fang got on the horse with the help of his subordinates. "Head, what do we say when we go back?" his confidant subordinate came over and asked.
"Say whatever you should say." Liu Fang answered angrily, and walked towards Luoxing City with a clamp of his horse's belly. He wanted to find a doctor to treat his injuries quickly. If he was late, he would become a useless person.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I acted without permission just now." Chen Baxian said apologetically to Ye's mother.
"Don't say such a strange thing, it's all a family." Ye's mother glanced at NV'er and replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, family." Ye Yunwen and Ye Yunwu agreed, fearing that the world would not be able to do anything.
Ye Linglong was speechless and said helplessly: "Mother, brother, you and Lord Feng Yang are really relatives. When Brother Baxian and I met him, he called me brother and sister one by one, and kept asking Brother Baxian to join me and Brother Baxian together. Unexpectedly, after coming back, you will be the same as him."
"Sister, since you have met Lord Feng Yang, then tell us what kind of person he is, okay? Let us know what taboos he has before seeing him." Ye Yunwen asked Ye Linglong.
"His taboo, um... I think about it... By the way, what Lord Feng Yang doesn't like most is bullying people with power. Usually, when he encounters someone bullying people with power, the one who bullies people with power will be beaten up by him in the end. Also, he likes to joke with people. If his eyes turn and smile when he talks to you, then there are real and false things in his words. If he is serious and gives people a sense of majesty, then you should pay attention. At this time, what he says is usually true and very important."
"What else?"
"There are also very sympathetic to the weak and respecting the elders. He set up an institution in Fengyang called the Welfare House, which specializes in taking in the elderly and widowed and the orphans who have lost their parents, and provides the poor with a place to wear and eat."
"Then will we get his reuse after we go?" Ye Yunwen expressed his concerns.
"Lord Feng Yang has another advantage, which is that he does not look at his background or his background. He only values character and ability. Among Feng Yang's middle-level officials, many of them have achieved their current status through their own efforts. If Brother Yunwen wants to make a name for himself, he must be prepared to work hard." Ye Linglong answered without hesitation.
"Yes, Linglong is right, Wen'er, if you have the idea of leaving a relationship from the beginning, then I would rather you stay at home all the time," said Ye's mother on the side.
"Mom, where do you want to go? I just want to know what Feng Yang's officialdom looks like. If he is as nepotism as Long Shouyi, I will stay at home with my second brother and will not be with those corrupt officials." Ye Yunwen hurriedly explained to his mother.
Ye Yunwu, who was standing beside him, looked desolate and moaned his already lame tui. Ye Yunwen understood as soon as he saw that he had said the wrong thing just now. He wanted to apologize but didn't know what to say, so he could only look at his mother for help. However, Ye's mother didn't know how to comfort her frustrated second son, and for a moment, the carriage quieted down.
Chen Ba, who was riding a horse next to the carriage, couldn't help but wonder. He was talking so lively just now, why didn't he talk now? Just as he was about to ask, Chen Fu, who was driving, waved his hand to him and pointed at Ye Yunwu's tui with his hand. Now Chen Ba understood first that he had no good idea for such things, so he could only hope that Ye Yunwu could cheer up himself up.
The group walked and stopped for five or six days, and met seven or eight groups of unknown guys during this period, and were settled by Chen Baxian. It was not until this time that Ye Yunwen and Ye Yunwu believed what their sister Ye Linglong said that Chen Baxian had the ability to compete with Lord Feng Yang Ye Kaihuai.
In Westport Port, Chen Baxian and his group's final destination, they would take a merchant ship to Fengyang, arrive at Fengyang's Wanghai City by sea, and then go to Fengyang City by land. Simply put, as long as they board the ship, they will basically be out of danger. The pirates along the coast have been almost wiped out by Fengyang's navy. Basically, there is no pirate group in Aolong's sea area to come here to seek death. Because there is a navy that is even more pirate than them, once they are caught, it is certain that the things are robbed, and then the people are sent to the coal mine to dig coal for ten years, and they become black people when they come out. This treatment is unacceptable to any proud pirate, but they can't be beaten. Based on the principle of being unable to afford to offend, the pirate group that was originally active on the coast of Aolong moved collectively. This also made the commercial routes along Aolong suddenly safer.
Fengyang City Lord's Mansion
Ye Kaihuai has been very busy these two days. It’s not that he needs to handle a lot of official duties, but that he has to meet with many ministers. After many ministers learned that Ye Kaihuai was preparing to send troops to recover the Nanban and unify Aolong, they ran to the lord’s mansion to ask for a meeting, hoping that Ye Kaihuai could take back his fate, saying that he was born with the same roots, so why bother with each other? The minister who said this was directly taken away by Ye Kaihuai and sent him home to his old age.
Seeing that using family affection is not easy, the ministers immediately changed the tactics and expressed their opinion to Ye Kaihuai that "even if the country is big, it will perish if it is wary." Ye Kaihuai also gave them an answer of "Forget the battle, you will be in danger." So, do you think you can be arrogant?
Seeing that his argument for the destruction of the country could not scare Ye Kaihuai, these ministers used a move that shocked the world, wept ghosts and gods, gods shook their heads, and Bodhisattvas were afraid of being scoundrels. Of course, the ministers referred to here were just the censors Feng Yang who were responsible for giving advice to Feng Yang's administration, and most of them were stubborn and old men over fifty years old. They had no real power, so no matter how they made trouble, they would not affect Feng Yang's operation. To put it bluntly, a group of Ye Kaihuai raised idle people who specialized in finding fault with him.
These people first gave Ye Kaihuai a crying remark. A large group of men ran to Ye Kaihuai early in the morning and cried loudly, making Ye Kaihuai so angry. He pointed at the noses of the group and cursed: "I have nothing to do in the early morning. Why are I going to be so mourning? Get out!"
In one sentence, Ye Kaihuai smashed the censors' cries and advice plan with just one sentence.
Seeing that the censors failed, they came up with another plan to write a blood book. Looking at the blood book written in blood on their desks that they didn't know what blood was written, Ye Kaihuai sighed deeply. This time he really shot himself in the foot, making it difficult for him to feel good about it.
Seeing that the bloody letters were written were like stones sinking into the sea, the censor decided to use his trump card and sit quietly. More than 100 ministers collectively ran to the front of the Lord's Mansion to block the Mén, which resulted in the purchase of the Lord's Mansion to enter and exit from the back. The impact of the Mén incident was also very bad. The soldiers responsible for the security of Fengyang City were sharpened. The reason was that because of the actions of these officials, their monthly bonus was wasted.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Although they sat on the ground through their clothes, they still couldn't stand their butts after sitting for a long time, let alone these officials who had never suffered any hardship. But now these officials had no way to retreat. Their actions have attracted the attention of the people around the Lord's Mansion, and many ordinary people are watching. Now that they are evacuating, their reputation for doing things will be settled. Moreover, there are also a group of soldiers with fierce eyes and fierce eyes staring at their wolf-like tigers. I don't know why these soldiers are looking at them? But I guess if I want to leave, these soldiers may not agree.
Just when many officials were in a dilemma, the mansion of the Lord's Mansion opened, and a group of people walked out with a bench and hot water. A man dressed as a housekeeper walked out with a smile and said to the head of the censor: "Lord, I know that the weather is cold, I am afraid that you will have an accident. I specially asked us to prepare some xiǎo benches for you to rest, and some hot water to warm you up."
"Thank you, the butler. I wonder when the Lord will be able to meet us?" The censor asked with some emotion.
"This is not accurate. Lord Lord is very busy today and probably has no time. If you are fine, why don't you wait a little longer. If you have free time, I will remind Lord Lord Lord."
"Then it's a labor."
As the mansion closed, the butler who walked into the mansion took off the mask on his face and said viciously: "You dare to block my man, I must pay the price." The person who said this was Ye Kaihuai. Zhou Shang, who was standing aside, said with some concern: "Kainhuai, is this really good?"
"What's wrong with it? At most, it's just a few more trips to the toilet than ordinary people."
"More than that. What you gave them is water for boiling croton. Although sugar was added, the effect of croton..." Zhou Shang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Those guys, I asked them to serve as censors because they liked the officials who usually put their eyes down on the law and discipline. They could serve as supervising officials like the Supervision Office, but they did not want to put all the targets on me. And I'll tell you, according to the report of the Supervision Office, there are unclean people among these censors, and it's just a chance to clear out all the black sheep."
"Are you going to start removing them from their stomachs first?" Zhou Shang suddenly said to Ye Kaihuai. Ye Kaihuai couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He smiled, and the censors who were sitting in meditation outside were in trouble.
