Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 74 The angry and rebellious old father (5) (1/2)

Lin Laoer was very cautious when he spread the news. He only said that the eldest son of the city lord was assassinated and died unfortunately, but did not say that the eldest son's name was Lin Guangyao.

Lin Shiheng's prestige in Zhou City far exceeded the imagination of other rebel forces. As soon as they heard that he had been assassinated, the people of the entire city became angry.

Most of them came to Zhoucheng from the time when they were refugees with insufficient food to eat. At that time, everyone was like a walking corpse. No one was willing to take them in. Those who kept saying that the emperor was foolish and only rebelled in order to save the people of the world were totally different. I have never thought about how to deal with ordinary people like them who have lost their homes and relatives because of the war.

It would be fine if everyone did this. Anyway, everyone has long been accustomed to being bullied and has to tolerate it, and the patience will pass.

But the city lord appeared.

He used the city of Zhou to shelter the refugees who had nowhere to go. Even if the fighting outside was full of blood, the city of Zhou would still be safe and peaceful.

The city lord has also been trying hard to express to the three parties that he will not participate in the struggle for world hegemony, and will only take care of these people who have nowhere to go.

But even so, those people did not let the city lord go.

It's so good that he actually sent someone to assassinate such a good city lord.

Although the city lord was fine, the eldest son of the city lord died in the assassination.

Everyone in the city knows that City Lord Lin has four children. The three brothers headed by the Second Young Master are all powerful figures who can stand alone. Only the eldest son has always had his name but has never appeared in the city. Therefore, they know that the eldest son of the City Lord was assassinated and passed away. At that time, a large part of the people almost thought that it was Lin Laoer who was assassinated.

Unlike his two brothers, Yiwen and Wu, Lin Laoer usually directly manages the affairs of the city. Therefore, among the three brothers, he is also the one who has the most contact with the people.

Suddenly knowing that the second young master had been stabbed to death, the people in the city cried bitterly. When Lin Laoer led the troops and announced that Zhoucheng would fight against the third prince, and gave one day to strictly order the non-Zhoucheng people to leave immediately, many people thought that the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Damn it.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding could be resolved quickly. When he found out that it was the eldest son who had never been seen before but was appointed as the heir by the city lord instead of Lin Laoer, he was still angry, but fortunately he was not so desperate.

After pacifying the people and expelling the outsiders, Lin Laosi began to order troops, while Lin Laosan transported the grain and grass from the granary in batches, plus the horses that had been carefully raised, keeping the fine unsold goods. arms.

Zhou Cheng, who had always been dormant, finally showed his fangs viciously after losing the eldest son of the city lord.

Zhou City has always been easy to defend but difficult to attack, and with the weapons developed but never sold, there were not many manpower left, but it was enough to prevent Zhou City from being attacked.

The third prince, who had done nothing, ushered in the ferocious Zhoucheng army.

Then I was caught off guard.

It was not until this time that he discovered that Zhou Cheng, who had always appeared in front of everyone as an old farmer who didn't like fighting, was so powerful in fighting.

To sum it up in one sentence, the damage will be higher if the blood is thicker.

The high-end weapons that he had always been proud of were basically discarded items from Zhou Cheng, and it became obvious once they started fighting.

And I don’t know whether Zhou Cheng did it intentionally or unintentionally. The weapons he sold were quite good in the first year or two. However, as time went by, various problems appeared frequently because Zhou Cheng never stopped launching new weapons. In order to If they are not overtaken by their opponents, these rebel groups can only keep buying new weapons. For such a long time, they have not realized that these weapons are still limited.

While the third prince gritted his teeth and wrote to his two opponents asking for help, the two troops who were cooperating to attack Zhou City also arrived at the city.

It's just different from the idea that you can rush in with a casual attack and then carve up Zhou City. The gate of Zhou City is closed tightly, and there are prepared soldiers standing on top of the city wall. Looking at the situation, it will take a long time to defeat it. .

The rebel group will definitely not give up!

Isn't it just to attack a city by force? This is what they are used to doing. How simple!

They rushed forward heroically.

Then he was beaten back in embarrassment.

There was no way, Zhou City was easy to defend but difficult to attack. After Lin Shiheng took this city, he didn't bother to build a new city. Let's not talk about the reinforcement of the city wall. The weapons developed to defend the city were enough to make the enemy suffer.

In this siege battle, one person died and another died, but the opponent seemed to have no losses at all and suffered a miserable intermission.

The confident generals from both sides discussed with dark faces whether to besiege the city.

Besieging a city is a routine operation in war.

Often because the city is too difficult to defeat, the opponent simply leads a large army to surround the entire city. They are outside and the people in the city are inside. When there is no food in the city, the people inside can't hold on, so they will naturally open the city gate and surrender. .

Anyway, it is unlikely that a group of people with green eyes from hunger would still refuse to surrender.

There is nothing else to this method, it just requires time and patience.

After discussing this, the two sides decided to try to besiege the city first.

As a result, after being surrounded, they disappeared into the sea without any news at all.

Unlike those rebel groups that moved from place to city, the people of Zhoucheng had already taken root. As long as outsiders couldn't force their way in, those siege battles would have no effect on them.

Because the people in Zhoucheng know how to farm!

Zhoucheng is a magical city.

While others were fighting, they were farming.

While others were making and breaking alliances, they were farming.

While others are fighting to the death, they are farming.

The people of Zhou City with their special skills would not be besieged to death at all.

With soldiers and generals to protect their safety, and confidence in the city lord, they were very calm about the life and death of Zhou City.

Anyway, the city lord said that if you can't fight, then surrender. The worst that can happen is that you will be robbed and your property will be taken away, but your life will be fine.

Of course, even though the city lord said so, most people still didn't want to be robbed of their belongings.

Just kidding, the city lord didn't even ask for their property, why should these people who ignored them before and now come to fight under the banner of recovering the people?

The people in Zhoucheng were very calm, but the soldiers besieged outside gradually couldn't hold on any longer.

After all, we traveled a long distance to fight in a strange place. We had to bring our own food and grass. As a result, all the food and grass we brought were eaten up. However, there was absolutely no movement from the besieged opponent, not to mention the small soldiers, even the leaders. The generals on both sides who were ordered to attack Zhoucheng were a little overwhelmed.

During the siege, they had received news that the Lord of Zhou City had personally led troops to attack the Third Prince because of the death of his eldest son. However, thinking that the Third Prince's army was by their side, they could win the battle anyway, so they might as well take the opportunity to occupy this place. The city lord's Zhou City, even if the third prince defeated the opponent and wanted to occupy Zhou City, it would already be a step too late.

I never expected that they didn't defeat them after such a long time.

Shame on you.

So shameful.

Just as they were preparing to defend for a while, the generals on both sides who were waiting quietly suddenly received another message from their lord.

The third prince was defeated and asked them to go to support him.

Two generals: "???"

Third Prince? Can't beat that old farmer?

Be funny!

Is there some conspiracy?

No matter how doubtful they were, the master had given the order, and the two generals could only leave Zhoucheng with full vigilance and go to the Third Prince to support them.

The Third Prince will be beaten to tears.

te:'mu:'d-i A big black pot suddenly fell on my head!

He didn't even think about going against Zhou Cheng!

He doesn't even know what the eldest son of the city lord looks like!

So good, why did he kill the city lord?

Even if he really wanted to get Zhou City, he would definitely choose to attack by force or outwit him. What benefit would assassinating the city lord do to him? Although they don’t want to admit it, the people of Zhou City are indeed devoted to the city lord. If he assassinates the city lord, isn’t he waiting to go against the entire city of Zhou!

Suddenly being blamed, and no one listened to his explanation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. As a result, General Murong, who had always been the most capable subordinate in his army, rebelled.

Teammates turned into opponents, and they stabbed their old master again and again.

The third prince, who was beaten completely unable to fight back and was branded as a traitor, was about to cry this time. Looking at the group of rampaging Zhoucheng troops opposite, he wanted to roar at the sky.

Gentlemen, can you open your sharp eyes and see clearly?

It really wasn’t me who did it! !

However, the Lord of Zhou City who lost his eldest son seemed to be greatly stimulated. He evolved directly from a kind and good man to a violent mode, and beat the third prince desperately if he caught him.

Although most of his soldiers used to be refugees, after such a long time, thanks to Lin Laosi's devilish training and good food and drink, things have changed a lot.

Coupled with the betrayal of General Murong and the high-end weapons that were not sold to others, the third prince was defeated at a speed that he did not expect.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave the place he had occupied for a long time and began to retreat under Zhou Cheng's pursuit.

"Shameless old thief! What you did today | I will have to pay you back in the future!"

The third prince has always refused to admit defeat.

The specific manifestation is that at this moment, he is running away while saying harsh words.

Fortunately, although the battle was not smooth, running was still very easy.

Look, after running for such a long time, there is no trace of the opponent's pursuers behind.

Before the Third Prince could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a familiar team suddenly appear in front of him.

The bright red clothes were of a color that only Zhou Cheng would wear in such a showy way.

The expression on the Third Prince's face that had just relaxed was frozen.

The road ahead spread out, and a man rode out and shouted loudly: "As long as the third prince hands over the murderer of my young master Zhoucheng, Mo Shenke, we will retreat now."

The disgraced Mo Chenke, who had been following his father and was also beaten, suddenly raised his head, trying to see clearly who was shouting. Unfortunately, there was still a little distance between the two parties, and he could only see clearly the color of the other party's bright red clothes.

If he hadn't been beaten so hard by Zhou Cheng that he couldn't fight back, he would have almost wondered if he had been tricked by eight brothers this time.

After all, who would be so bored as to go to Zhoucheng to assassinate people under the banner of Mo Shenke.

If it is said that Zhou Cheng directed and acted himself, it is unlikely. Otherwise, why not just put the blame on his father, but on his son.

There is no need to spare such a crooked person.

But what made Mo Shenke's heart sinking was whether his father would throw him out now that the other party was shouting.

No, it shouldn't be. His father loves him the most. He once said that if he ascends the throne, he will make him the prince.

While Mo Chenke tried his best to comfort his father that he had a deep love for him, the third prince wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.

If you te:'mu:'d-i didn't tell me to hand over my son earlier, I wouldn't have beaten him!

Now that I have suffered heavy losses and lost territory, you are telling me to cease the war if I hand over my son? ? ?

There have been so many opportunities before, you can tell me!

Once you tell me, I will definitely hand you over!

Not only did he make friends, but he also made them in a beautiful way. He was directly charged with trying to sow discord between the two parties. Not only did he gain a reputation for righteousness and killing relatives, he might even be able to develop a friendship with Zhou Chenglai.

Now that I have been beaten like this, if I hand someone over, wouldn't it be like sacrificing my own son to save my life?

I definitely don’t have a good reputation, and maybe I have to add a bit of coolness to it.

Shameless old thief! !

He cursed in his heart, but knew that this was the only chance to survive, so he hesitated and looked at Mo Shenke next to him.

Since he recognized this child, he has been taking him by his side to teach him carefully, giving him a respected position, and allowing him to display his talents. Now, it is time for him to repay himself as a father.

Thinking about it, the third prince gave Mo Shenke a suggestive look.

Mo Shenke has always had a close relationship with him since he was recognized back. When the third prince looked at him, his originally confident heart froze.

Is this... giving him up?

But isn't he his father's proudest and most valued child?

Didn't the father say that he would be crowned prince in the future?

After waiting for several years for his fiancée to run away and join the enemy, Mo Shenke suffered another major blow when his father abandoned him as an abandoned son.

The Third Prince looked at his son with a hurt expression in front of him, a little dissatisfied with him for being too indecisive, but thinking about the current situation, he reached out and patted his son's shoulder intimately.

"Shen Ke, this matter happened because of you. You must put the overall situation first."

Because of him...

But he didn't do anything!

Mo Shenke's eyes turned red, "Father, you must believe me, I really don't."

The third prince believed him in his heart. After all, this son had always followed his lead, but what was the use of trusting him? Zhou Cheng had made it clear that he believed Mo Shenke was the murderer. If he didn't hand over Mo Shenke, everyone would die together. He handed him over. , at least the remaining people still have a way to survive.

The third prince was also very reluctant to let go of his son whom he had just recognized for a few years.

He has carefully cultivated it for several years.

It's such a shame that it's gone like this.

"Go, don't worry, my father will definitely avenge you."

Mo Chenke waited expectantly for a long time, but then he heard these words.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Father, do you know that if I leave, I will definitely die?"

Of course the third prince knew.

He patted his son on the shoulder again, sighed, and said again: "You should put the overall situation first."

The embarrassment of the eight brothers following them has not faded away, and their eyes looking at Mo Shenke are a bit more happy and gloating.

"Fifteenth brother, since you are the one who caused the trouble, it is up to you to solve it. Don't worry, my father will be taken care of by our brothers. Nothing will go wrong."

Mo Chenke's face turned pale and he clenched the hand holding the reins.

He never thought that he would be abandoned by his biological father.

In order to become the third prince's son in a dignified manner, he severed ties with the Lin family who had raised him, completely let go of the past, studied and practiced hard every day, and forced himself to read those military books.

He has sacrificed so much in order to become the best child of the Third Prince.

But now, his biological father had abandoned him so lightly.

Just like before, he abandoned the Lin family without hesitation.

Four words came to Mo Shenke's mind: cause and effect cycle.

He held on to his last glimmer of hope, and under the unmistakable gazes of the third prince and several half-brothers who were gloating about his misfortune, he drove his horse slowly to Zhou Chengjun's side.

Since Zhou Chengjun could change his style of hiding in the city and go out to fight for the sake of his eldest son, he must have loved him very much.

Although he was forced to stand up and take the blame, he had not done anything he had not done. Once it was over, he would immediately explain it to the other party, which might give him a chance to survive.

With the despair of imminent death and the slightest hope that he might be able to survive, he finally walked up to Zhou Chengjun.

"I wonder if City Lord Lin is here? I am Mo Shenke. I am here this time to explain the misunderstanding about the murder of the young Lord of Guicheng."

Mo Shenke looked at the general wearing a helmet and an iron mask in front of him, got off his horse, raised his fists, and tried his best to appear neither humble nor arrogant.

The general sat on the horse and looked at him condescendingly: "You killed my eldest brother because my father and brother saw it with our own eyes. There is no lie!"

It turned out that this man turned out to be the son of the city lord.

And from what he meant, he seemed to think that Mo Shenke, the young master of Zhou City, had killed him himself?

After hearing this, Mo Shenke was not surprised but overjoyed. He quickly took off his helmet, revealing his face covered with sand, "Please see clearly that I am not the murderer of the young master of Zhou City."

Lin Laosi looked at the embarrassed man on the ground through the wire mask that protected his face, and it seemed as if there was another scene in front of him of this man appearing condescendingly in front of his family, abandoning his father, divorced his wife and abandoned his daughter.

At first, the eldest brother ignored his sister-in-law. At that time, he only thought that the eldest brother was ruthless. But when he entered Zhoucheng and was invited by his father to teach him, he thought back and guessed what Mo Shenke wanted. do what.

It was revealed that he was not a parent of the Lin family, and he abandoned his wife and daughter on the spot. If it were another family, he would never take his sister-in-law in.

He was going to force them to die.

As for the reason why his wife and daughter were forced to death, the marriage with the Murong family can also be explained very clearly and thoroughly.

When he did such a thing that day, did he ever think that they, the country folk who were not looked down upon, would sometimes have the power of his life and death?

"Can you see clearly, Your Excellency? I am indeed not the murderer of your brother."

"No."

Lin Laosi sneered and raised the long knife in his hand.

"I can see clearly that you are the one who killed my brother and insulted my father. Today, please keep your life!"

The long knife flashed past Mo Shenke's eyes. His eyes were full of horror. He quickly rolled on the ground to avoid the attack. Before he could feel lucky to have escaped the attack, the next moment, several long knives were placed across his neck. superior.

"It's really not me!!"

At the moment of life and death, even his voice became shrill.

"I have never been to Zhoucheng, how could I kill the young master with my own hands!"

"I'll help you recall your memories."

A calm voice sounded, and the boundary was very clear in this area where many people were standing but no one made a sound.

Mo Shenke had several long knives across his neck and could only stand passively, watching a man in armor walk out.

He was riding a good horse and was wearing armor, but his face was not covered with a wire mask. The face he showed was calm and majestic.

The familiar face immediately made Mo Chenke stiffen up. His eyes widened in disbelief, almost suspecting that he was still dreaming.

The man raised the long knife and pointed it at him.

"It was you who personally killed my son Guangyao in front of my Lin family."

"How about it? Do you remember it?"

Mo Chenke was shaking all over and shook his head with difficulty.

"Impossible...impossible..."

How is this possible? How can a country man be the lord of Zhou City?

Lin Laosi also took off the mask on his face, revealing a face that had become resolute in just a few years.

"My eldest brother is my father's most beloved child. If he hadn't been killed by you, he would have inherited the entire Zhou City. Today, I will make you pay with your blood!"

Inherit the entire Zhou city...

Mo Chenke felt dizzy for a while, but he did not doubt the authenticity of this sentence. After all, he was so loved before, and if he had not been torn apart, he might have inherited Zhou City.

In his mind, his biological father who abandoned him without hesitation and Lin Shiheng, who regarded him as his treasure, kept appearing in his mind.

Lin Shiheng looked at his dazed expression and felt that it was not enough, so he added another sentence.

"Speaking of which, this city lord can only rely on a good man to achieve his current prestige."

Seeing Mo Shenke raise his head in confusion, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If it hadn't been for the kind man who gave me a thousand silver taels, how could I, who was just an ordinary carpenter, have the money to recruit soldiers, buy horses, and build weapons?"

Lin Laosi immediately understood what he meant, and immediately responded: "What dad said is to thank that kind person. Otherwise, my father and son would not be as successful as they are now, and how could they attack San Prince."

Mo Shenke suddenly froze.

That thousand taels was him...

It was he who personally supported Lin Shiheng... to stand in a high position.

As soon as the sweet taste in his throat reached his mouth and blood overflowed from his lips, Lin Shiheng had already cut a hideous wound on his face with a knife.

"Every man has such a bad temper. He vomits blood when he says he vomits blood."

"I'll help you stop the bleeding, you're welcome."
