Let Shen Linzhong take Chen Luoxue to the tower first. If the Chen family in Jinzhou arrives, let Chen Luoxue communicate with them first.

She not only gave Chen Luoxue a chance to save her family, but also to temper Chen Luoxue. If she succeeded in persuading the Chen family to leave Jinzhou.

Then she is naturally a hero of the Chen family. When she returns to Jinzhou to work in the future, she will definitely not be unpopular with the family like Xie Qingzhi and others.

If she fails to persuade her to leave the Chen family, then this is also an opportunity to completely cut off the roots between her and the Chen family. From now on, she will really be just a female official in Youzhou.

Chen Luoxue was very nervous all the way and almost tripped over the stone steps when climbing the city wall. Fortunately, Shen Linzhong had quick eyes and quick hands to help her.

Chen Luoxue hurriedly thanked her, and then looked nervously down the city, praying that her father and brother would not appear.

I pray that the Jinzhou Chen family will not follow the Jeju Chen family and act recklessly, and that they will listen to what I say.

Shen Linzhong has never seen Chen Luoxue like this. Since arriving at the base, this girl has been serious about her work and willing to learn.

At the beginning, she made a lot of jokes because she didn't know some basic knowledge. For this reason, she went to the fields to participate in farming and assembled a loom to learn weaving.

Staying up late to read information on maritime merchants, and even the shipping warehouse, which many officials couldn't stand, was fishy and stuffy at that time.

She could board the ship and inventory the cargo, and she would be there for a whole day. I don't care if I get a darker tan or smell on my body.

She relied on this stubbornness and tenacity to impress Shen Linzhong and never asked her not to go to the base again.

She was also impressed by the officials of the base. At first they looked down upon her because she was a female officer, but later they started to take her seriously.

She has become the backbone of all the noble girls who go to the base, and those girls are willing to listen to her arrangements.

Shen Linzhong praised her that day: "You really don't look like our ladies, you look like people from Shenjia Village."

Chen Luoxue was speechless: "You said I look like a village girl?"

Shen Linzhong nodded: "Bold and capable."

Chen Luoxue:......

Last time I praised her for her beautiful tan, but this time I praised her for being as capable as a village girl.

Mr. Shen, if you keep praising girls like this, you will be beaten sooner or later.

Then at this moment, standing on the high city wall, Chen Luoxue felt that she was not bold at all.

In the hunting wind, I listened to the metallic sound of the trebuchet, smelled the sulfurous smell of gunpowder, and watched the increasing number of people and horses under the city wall.

Her nervous hands clenched into fists, her eyes were hot, and cold sweat was pouring from her back.

At this time, Shen Linzhong's voice sounded: "Don't be afraid."

She stiffened her neck and looked at Shen Linzhong: "What if my family doesn't listen to me?"

Shen Linzhong said solemnly: "No, your family must be like you and will not help that bastard Chen Fang."

The words were still so straightforward, but now they made Chen Luoxue feel at ease.

Yes, her father and brother are not idiots, so why would they side with that bastard Chen Fang?

At this time, Shen Dongsu, Mr. Pang and others boarded the tower. When they saw the princess's dress, the soldiers were greatly encouraged.

So what if the prince is not here? The princess can also lead us to defend against enemies!

Except for Mr. Pang, other generals are even expecting that the entire Chen family will raise troops in Youzhou for Chen Fang.

Then let them see how powerful the Youzhou Army is!

Don't think that if the Fifth Master takes away the elite soldiers, the remaining soldiers guarding the city will be afraid of you nobles.

Shen Dongsu's red cloak rustled in the wind. He stroked the trebuchet beside him and asked Li Nianyu:

"What's the range?"

Li Nianyu said hurriedly: "The furthest is eighty feet."

Shen Dongsu made a visual inspection and nodded: "That's okay. Don't blow up the city gate and make it full of holes. We'll have to repair it ourselves when the time comes."

Mr. Pang was sweating on the side and reminded in a low voice: "Princess, didn't you say you should try not to use gunpowder?"

Shen Dongsu smiled and said: "Yes, we try not to use it, but it depends on the enemy's choice!"

If she chooses to seek death, she has to use it even if she doesn't want to.

Under the city wall, people all over the city gathered at the base of the city wall under the command of the government officials. Some climbed onto the towers, while more watched from the streets and at the base of the walls.

I promised Chen Fang that I had to apologize to him in front of the whole city. Naturally, there were many people.

She looked into the distance. Dust was flying, flags were tumbling, and a team had already arrived.

I regretfully thought that I should have let Li Nianyu study the telescope, but I couldn't even see who was coming.

She couldn't see clearly, but Yue Jian could see clearly: "It's Chen Fang."

Shen Dongsu looked at the dust kicked up by the horses' hooves and asked doubtfully: "Aren't there only more than three hundred people?"

Yue Jian's face was rarely covered with ice-like coldness: "Damn you bastard! He actually abused the people like this."

When these men and horses came into everyone's sight, almost all the soldiers were as angry as Tsukimi.

Chen Fang actually tied the fourth-class soldiers, as well as the women and children of the villagers, into a string with ropes and dragged them behind the horse.

Some children ran too slowly and were dragged directly to the ground, scratched with stones and thick hemp ropes until their faces bled.

The children seemed to have become dumb from crying. Their cries were very small, but extremely pitiful, like a young animal that only encountered natural enemies and could only choke in a low voice.

The women kept calling the child's name, fearing that the child would fall and never stand up again.

There are more than forty soldiers in A, their eyes are cracked. If their eyes could be turned into swords, Chen Fang and others would have been cut into pieces by a thousand swords.

Li Nianyu resisted putting his hand on the switch of the trebuchet, for fear that he would lose control and blow up this piece of shit.

It was probably Jia Si and the others who were scolding Chen Fang all the way. Chen Fang and his subordinates on horseback were all holding whips in their hands, beating Jia Si and others from time to time.

Jia Si’s face was bloody and covered with whip wounds.

The cry of a child is the most contagious sound in the world. In an instant, all the people in Youzhou became the parents of these children.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and wished they could tear Chen Fangxing to pieces with their own hands.

And the biological father of these children, who went to the city to work as a corvee, would have jumped off the tower and fought Chen Fang desperately if it weren't for someone else holding him.

Shen Dongsu couldn't help but think that the parents of these children in these remote villages and towns on the outskirts of the city must be telling them every day.

Don't go deep into the mountains and forests, don't step out of the city limits, because there will be Tatars and bandits, and you will fall into their hands.

Just like a lamb that falls into the hands of a wild wolf, it will be eaten.

But the parents didn’t tell their children that noble men would also be like wild wolves!

Perhaps when Chen Fang first arrived in the village, the children regarded him as a soldier and official from Youzhou, and invited them into the village with a smile and gave them sweet water to quench their thirst.

He even took the initiative to tell them that his father went to do corvee service, build Wanshu Pavilion, build reservoirs, and build roads.

They stay at home with their mother, raising chickens and ducks, and guarding the fields. When their father comes back, he will bring back delicious candies and meat, and he will also take them to the city to play.

Yes, children in Youzhou like soldiers passing by their village the most, which means that their village is within the patrol range of soldiers and is safe.

But what they don't know is that this time they are villains disguised as soldiers, more hateful than bandits and Tatars!
