Chapter 353: Vulnerable!

In preparation.

Lin Chen made a special trip back to Mount Emei, intending to bid farewell to his master.

After all, in the secret realm, he was raised by Guo Xiang since he was a child.

After leaving this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Guo Xiang again for a short time.

But don't want to.

"Master...?"

Lin Chen looked at Guo Xiang, who was holding Xiao Mie Mie and holding a sword, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Just look at Xiao Mie Mie, who is still carrying a small baggage, and looks like he is planning to travel far away.

"Senior Brother, Master wants to take me down the mountain to practice!" Xiao Mie explained happily.

"Experience?"

Lin Chen looked at his master with a shy smile and a hint of stupidity, and couldn't help but raise his forehead.

"What about the Emei Sect's affairs?"

"There are only a hundred or so disciples in the sect, so there is no need to worry about it." Guo Xiang said nonchalantly.

Good guy.

Lin Chen didn't expect Guo Xiang to be so skilled at throwing his hands.

It’s just a pain for these Emei disciples.

Whatever.

Lin Chen knew very well why Guo Xiang took Xiao Miejie down the mountain to practice at this time.

It's nothing more than worrying about myself.

It’s just Master, the things that disciples have to do may be a bit big.

Jiachuan County.

Guo Xiang looked at his eldest disciple with burning eyes, as if he was meeting Lin Chen for the first time.

"Elder brother! Are you going to start a rebellion?"

Little Mie Mie Tong Yan Wuji.

This is natural.

Lin Chen recruited 20,000 soldiers in Jiachuan County, plus the Yulin Guards and Navy Army, the total number was 27,000!

Moreover, they are all warriors equipped with armor!

Anyone who watched this battle would feel that Lin Chen had something wrong with him.

"You really guessed it right."

Lin Chen smiled and scratched the tip of Xiao Mie's nose.

As for Qiao Xuan, Yang Zhi and others on the side, they were watching with their eyes, nose and heart, pretending not to see it.

"Secretary Qiao, this time the army sets off, Jiachuan County will be left in your charge." Lin Chen looked at Qiao Xuan.

Hearing this, the latter's face became solemn: "I will surely live up to my honor in my humble position!"

At this time, people were coming and going on the dock in Jiachuan County.

The soldiers gathered together, waiting to board the ship and go out for battle.

Wang Yuan couldn't help but swallowed as he looked at the battle.

For him, the speculations these days have finally come true.

Not only Wang Yuan, but also the rest of the young men recruited by Lin Chen had discussed the origins of Lin Chen and his group.

Some people say he is a military general from the imperial court, while others say he is a traitor who plans to rebel.

But no matter what, Wang Yuan and the others, who only knew what it meant to be well-fed and well-paid under Lin Chen, had no fear.

So what if we start a rebellion?

When did Emperor Lin'an Song care about the life and death of ordinary people like them?

Lin Chen stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the Jialing River with indifferent eyes.

He had been planning for many days, not just to play house.

Kaiyuan Mansion.

Cao Ling had been quite comfortable these days.

Why?

You must know that he abandoned Jiachuan County and ran away, which was a serious crime.

Even if he doesn't lose his head, he still has to be removed from his official position.

However, Cao Ling escaped that day and fled to Kaiyuan Mansion.

What a coincidence. After some inquiring, Cao Ling found out that the prefect of Kaiyuan Prefecture was his classmate and friend!

This person joined Jia Sidao and had a prosperous official career.

No, Cao Ling took the imperial examination together with him. He was the magistrate of the lower county, but the other party sat in the position of magistrate.

While you are jealous in your heart, you might as well cling to a relationship with Cao Ling.

have to say.

Cao Ling put a lot of effort into dealing with people, and since the two were classmates, they had a close relationship.

In the Song Dynasty, classmates of civilian officials would spontaneously gather together to keep warm.

After learning that Cao Ling had lost Jiachuan County, the prefect of Kaiyuan Prefecture seemed disapproving.

Just think it's a group of bandits causing trouble.

At the same time, he appeased Cao Ling and said that he would dispatch the Xiang army to recover Jiachuan County for him.

and.

Cao Ling will also report his merits in suppressing the bandits, and he will write a memorial to express his merits.

Cao Ling never expected this.

My luck was so good that while I was exempted from punishment, I was also lucky enough to be in the lap of my classmates.

Wouldn’t it be possible to have a prosperous official career in the future? !

Cao Ling, who was dreaming of spring and autumn, was suddenly summoned by the government and hurried to the government office.

"What does this mean?"

Zhang Shun was sitting on the bow of the boat, chewing a grass stem.

As the vanguard of the fleet, he led two sterns to clear the way.

But he didn't want to be blocked by a few broken fishing boats.

Looking at the fishing boat, there are dozens of men dressed as businessmen.

"Everyone, what are you doing?"

Zhang Shun didn't know the situation, but he smiled.

But don't want to.

Hot face touches cold butt.

"General, the magistrate has invited you to see me. Please follow me to the city as soon as possible!"

The official shouted impatiently.

Zhang Shun felt strange when he heard this.

He does know that the Jiachuan County currently controlled by his lord is under the rule of Kaiyuan Mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he met the other party.

Zhang Shun said calmly: "A certain family still has military affairs, and they don't care about being summoned by Lord Chifu!"

"What are you talking about? The magistrate has said that your general will also go to Kaiyuan City to pay homage. Don't miss anything!"

Zhang Shun felt strange when he heard what the other party said.

Although he had heard from Lin Chen that the status of warriors in this secret realm was low, he did not expect that they would be ordered around by civil servants, as if they were domestic servants.

As for the Kaiyuan city head.

Cao Ling followed a man wearing a magistrate's robe.

Just look at this man, he is about thirty years old and slightly fat.

"Don't worry, brother Cao. There happened to be a group of soldiers passing by. I asked the commander to send a group of soldiers to help you suppress the banditry in Jiachuan County..." the prefect said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ling immediately pretended to be grateful and bowed to thank him.

In fact, this was also intentional by the prefect of Kaiyuan Prefecture, just to back up his previous promise.

After all, he was also very clear about the quality of the soldiers under his command.

Kaiyuan Prefecture had 8,000 soldiers on the list, but in reality there were not even 2,000 people!

The rest were a bunch of old, weak and sick people who were not paid for nothing!

How could they suppress the bandits?

At this moment, it happened that a group of soldiers passed by.

The prefect of Kaiyuan Prefecture came up with an idea to use this group of soldiers to quell Cao Ling's banditry.

But he didn't expect that.

The errand boy he sent out came back in a mess.

When he asked the reason, he knew.

It turned out that Zhang Shun was angered and was hit by a warship.

Not only did the fishing boat fall apart, but the constables fell into the water with them, and each of them drank a few mouthfuls of river water.

Hearing what the constable said, the Kaiyuan prefect was furious!

"Are these soldiers going to rebel?!"

He immediately ordered the city chief to mobilize the wing troops to stop this group of soldiers.

Then...

When Lin Chen arrived at Kaiyuan Prefecture, he looked at the black and black feather flag on the top of the city and raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Shun played with the prefect's official hat in his hand and came to Lin Chen with a smile to report.

"Sir, the Han soldiers in this blessed land are really vulnerable!"

Zhang Shun thought about leading 300 navy soldiers to disembark and charge.

The chief was just hit by his stick and was silent.

Once the chief died, the remaining wing troops fled like headless flies.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun thought that he might as well go all out and seize the city first.

"Where is the local prefect?"

"He is in jail, not killed." Zhang Shun scratched his head.

Lin Chen looked at the Kaiyuan Prefecture with flags flying all over it, and his mouth twitched slightly.

He knew that the Southern Song Dynasty was vulnerable, but he didn't expect it to be so rotten.

Such a big prefecture can be taken down by 300 people!

In this case.

Lin Chen smiled and accepted it.

"Send an order, let Qiao Zhubu come to Kaiyuan to take charge of the prefecture!"
