When the second son of Lin spread the news, he was more attentive. He only said that the eldest son of the city owner was assassinated and died unfortunately, but he did not say that the eldest son's name was Lin Guangyao.
Lin Shiheng's prestige in Zhoucheng far exceeded the imagination of other rebel forces. When he heard that he was assassinated, the people of the entire city became angry.
Most of them came to Zhoucheng when they could not get enough to eat. At that time, everyone was like a corpse, and no one was willing to take them in. Those who kept saying that the dwarf and the drowsy rebelled in order to save the people of the world were also completely I never thought about how to deal with these ordinary people who lost their homes and relatives because of the war.
If it is said that everyone is doing this, it is fine. Anyway, everyone has long been used to being bullied and has to endure, and the forbearance will pass.
But the mayor appeared.
He used Zhou Cheng to shelter these refugees who had nowhere to go. Even if the fight outside was full of blood, Zhou Cheng would still be safe and peaceful.
The city lord has also been working hard to tell the three parties that he will not participate in the struggle to dominate the world, and will only take good care of these people who have nowhere to go.
But even so, none of those people let go of the city lord.
It's so good, 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.
The people in the city all know that the city lord Lin has four children, and the three brothers headed by the second young master are all powerful people who can stand on their own. Only the eldest son has always had his name but never appeared in the city, so he knew that the eldest son of the city lord was assassinated and passed away. At that time, a large part of the people almost thought it was the second child Lin who was assassinated.
Different from the two younger brothers, one literary and one military, Lin Lao Er 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.
As soon as he knew that the second young master had been stabbed to death, the people in the city cried bitterly. see hell.
Fortunately, the misunderstanding can still be resolved quickly. When I know that the eldest son who has never been seen but was designated as the heir by the city lord, not the second child of Lin, he is still angry, but fortunately he is not so desperate.
After appeasing the people and expelling the outsiders, the fourth Lin started to order troops, while the third Lin shipped out the grain and grass in the granary in batches. In addition to the horses that have been carefully raised, he has always kept the excellent ones that have not been sold. arms.
Zhou Cheng, who had always been dormant, finally showed his fangs viciously after losing the eldest son of the city lord.
Zhou Cheng has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, and coupled with the fact that it was developed but never sold, there are not many people left, but it is enough to keep Zhou Cheng from being attacked.
The third prince, who had done nothing, ushered in the ferocious Zhoucheng army.
Then got caught off guard.
It was only at this time that he discovered that Zhou Cheng, who had been appearing in front of everyone as an old peasant who didn't like to fight, actually fought so hard.
To sum up in one sentence, the damage of blood is still high.
The high-end weapons that he has always been proud of are basically the ones that Zhou Cheng eliminated, and they will see the difference as soon as they fight.
And I don’t know if Zhou Cheng was intentional or not. The weapons that were sold at the beginning were used just fine for the first year or two. Over time, various problems appeared frequently, because Zhou Cheng never stopped launching new weapons. Without being overtaken by their opponents, these rebel groups can only keep buying new weapons. For so long, they have not been able to realize that these weapons are still limited in time.
When the three princes gritted their teeth and wrote to the two opponents asking for help, the two troops who cooperated to attack Zhoucheng also arrived at the city.
It's just different from the idea that you can rush in and then divide Zhoucheng. The gate of Zhoucheng is closed, and there are ready soldiers standing above the city wall. Depending on the situation, it will take a long time to fight. .
The rebel group is definitely not cowardly!
It's not just to force a city, this is what they are used to, how simple!
They rushed forward bravely.
Then embarrassed, he was beaten back.
No way, Zhou Cheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After Lin Shiheng won the city, he did not patronize the establishment of a new city. Not to mention the reinforcement of the city wall, the weapons developed for defending the city were enough for the enemy to suffer.
In this siege battle, one person died and one person died, but the opponent seemed to have no losses at all and suffered a half-time break.
The confident generals of the two sides discussed with black faces whether to besiege the city.
Besieging a city is already a routine operation in war.
Often because the city was too difficult to fight, the opponent simply surrounded the whole city with a large army. They were outside, and the people in the city were inside. When the city ran out of food, the people inside could not support it, and they would naturally open the city gate and surrender. .
It's unlikely that a group of people with hungry eyes will still insist on not surrendering.
There is no other way to pay attention to this method, and it requires time and patience.
After the two sides discussed this, they decided to siege the city first and try it out.
As a result, as soon as he was surrounded, he immediately fell into the sea, and there was no news at all.
Unlike those rebel groups who fought one place for another city, the people of Zhoucheng had long since taken root. As long as the outsiders could not force their way in, those siege wars would not have any effect on them at all.
Because the people of Zhoucheng can farm the land!
Zhoucheng is a magical city.
While others were at war, they were farming.
They are farming when others form alliances and tear up their covenants.
While others are fighting to the death, they are farming.
The people of Zhoucheng, who have a good skill, will not be besieged to death at all.
With soldiers and generals to protect safety, and confidence in the city owner, they are very calm about Zhou Cheng's life and death.
Anyway, the city owner said that if you can't beat it, you will surrender.
Of course, although the city lord said so, most of the people still do not want to be robbed of their belongings.
Just kidding, the city lord didn't even want their belongings, why should these people who ignored them before and now come to fight under the banner of recovering the people
The people of Zhoucheng were very calm, but the soldiers besieged outside were gradually unable to hold on.
After all, it was a long journey through mountains and rivers to fight in an unfamiliar place, and I had to bring my own food and grass. As a result, I saw that the food and grass I brought with it were almost eaten up, but the besieged opponent didn't move at all, not to mention the soldiers, even the leaders. The generals on both sides who were ordered to fight Zhou Cheng were a little overwhelmed.
When they were just under siege, they received the news that City Lord Zhou personally led the army to attack the Third Prince because of the death of his eldest son, but thinking that the army of the Third Prince was by his side, how could they win, they might as well take the opportunity to occupy this place. The city lord's Zhoucheng, even if the third prince defeated the opponent and wanted to occupy Zhoucheng, it would already be a step too late.
Unexpectedly, they didn't fight for such a long time.
Shame.
So embarrassing.
When they were about to stay for a while, the generals on both sides who were waiting quietly suddenly received a message from the lord again.
The three princes were defeated and asked them to go to support.
Two generals: "???"
Three Kings? Can't beat that old farmer
Be funny!
Is there some conspiracy
No matter how suspicious they were in their hearts, the master had ordered them, and the two generals could only leave Zhoucheng with full of vigilance and go to the Third Prince for support.
The third prince is about to be beaten and cry.
What's so special, a big black pot suddenly fell on the head!
He didn't even think about going against Zhou Cheng!
He didn't even know what the eldest son of the city lord looked like!
Well done, what did he do to kill the city lord!
Even if he really wanted to get Zhou Cheng, he would definitely choose to attack or outsmart him. What good would assassinating the city lord do to him? Although I don't really want to admit it, the people of Zhoucheng are really single-minded towards the city lord. If he assassinated the city lord, isn't that waiting to fight against the entire Zhou City!
He was suddenly blamed, and no one listened to the explanation, so he could only bite the bullet, but in the end, he was the most capable subordinate in his army, and General Murong betrayed him.
Teammates turned into opponents, and incidentally stabbed the old master again and again.
The third prince, who was beaten completely without the ability to fight back, and was also put on the hat of a Zongzi murderer, was about to cry this time. Looking at the rampant Zhoucheng army opposite, he couldn't wait to roar at the sky.
Uncles, open your sharp eyes and see clearly!
I really didn't do it! !
However, the city lord Zhou Cheng, who lost his eldest son, seems to be stimulated a lot. He has evolved from a kind and good man to a runaway mode, and he will fight with his life if he catches the third prince.
Although most of the soldiers under his command were once refugees, but after so long, with Lin Lao Si's devil training and good food and drink, it has long since changed from what it used to be.
Coupled with the betrayal of General Murong and those high-end weapons that were not sold to others, the Third Prince was defeated at a speed he did not expect.
In the end, he had no choice but to choose 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 need you to repay in the future!"
The Three Kings have always refused to admit defeat.
The specific manifestation is that at this moment, he is running and talking harshly.
Fortunately, although the battle is not very smooth, but the running is still very easy.
Look, after running for so long, there is no other chasing figure behind.
Before the third prince could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a familiar team suddenly appear in front of him.
On the red and bright clothes, only Zhou Cheng would wear such a coquettish color.
The expression on the face of the third prince who had just relaxed froze.
The road ahead dispersed, and one person came out riding a horse, shouting loudly: "As long as the third prince hand over the murderer of my Zhoucheng young master Mo Chenke, we will retreat here."
Mo Chenke, who had been beaten all the time beside his father, raised his head abruptly, trying to see who was shouting, but unfortunately there was still a little distance between the two sides, so he could only see the color of the bright red clothes on the other side.
If it wasn't for Zhou Cheng's helpless fight this time, he would almost doubt if he had been tricked by his eight brothers this time.
After all, who would be so boring and go to Zhoucheng to assassinate him under the banner of Mo Chenke.
If it is said that Zhou Cheng directed and acted by himself, it is unlikely, otherwise why not directly put the blame on his father, but on his son.
There is no need to spare such a big bend.
But what made Mo Chenke's heart sink is that now the other party is shouting, whether his father will throw him out.
No, it shouldn't, the father loves him the most, and he once said that if he ascends the throne, he will be named a prince.
When Mo Chenke tried his best to comfort his father, who had a strong fatherly love for him, the third prince was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Why don't you say that if you hand over my son sooner, you won't fight!
Now that I have suffered heavy losses and lost my territory, tell me to hand over my son and stop the war? ?
There were so many opportunities before, you said it!
As soon as you say it, I will definitely make a deal!
Not only did he make friends, but he also made them beautifully. He directly charged with the previous charge of trying to provoke the relationship between the two parties. Not only did he get the reputation of killing his relatives with righteousness, he might even be able to have a friendship with Zhou Cheng.
Now that I've been beaten like this, if I hand over someone, wouldn't it be naked sacrificing my own son to save my life!
There is definitely no good reputation, and maybe a cool thin is added.
Shameless thief! !
He cursed happily in his heart, but he knew that this was the only chance to survive, so he hesitated and looked at Mo Chenke next to him.
Since recognizing this child, he has been bringing people around to teach him carefully, giving him respect 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 Chenke a hinting look.
Mo Chenke has always had a close relationship with him since he was recognized. When the eyes of the third prince came over, his heart, which was full of confidence, was half cold.
Is this... to abandon him
But isn't he the proudest and most valued child of his father
Didn't the father say that in the future, he would still be crowned as the crown prince
Following the blow of his fiancée who had been waiting for several years to turn to the enemy, Mo Chenke ushered in another major blow that was abandoned by his father and king as an abandoned son.
The third prince looked at his son with a wounded look in front of him, and some disliked him for being too indecisive, but thinking about the current situation, he stretched out his hand and patted his son intimately on the shoulder.
"Shen Ke, this is because of you. You have to focus on the overall situation."
because of him...
But he did nothing!
Mo Chenke's eyes were red, "Father, you must believe me, I really don't."
The third prince believed him in his heart. After all, this son always followed his lead, but what was the use of his trust? Zhou Cheng made it clear that Mo Chenke was the murderer, and if he did not hand over Mo Chenke, everyone died together and handed over him. , anyway, the remaining people still have a way to live.
The third prince was also very reluctant to think of sending this son who had just been recognized for a few years to die.
He has been carefully nurtured for several years.
It's such a waste, what a pity.
"Go, don't worry, Father King will definitely avenge you."
Mo Chenke waited expectantly for a long time, but waited for this sentence.
His eyes were full of disbelief, and he asked with a trembling voice, "King father, do you know that if I go, I will surely die?"
Of course the Three Kings knew.
He patted his son on the shoulder again, sighed, and said again, "Put the big picture first."
The embarrassment of the eight brothers who followed them had not faded away, and there was a little more happiness and schadenfreude in the sight of Mo Chenke.
"Fifteenth brother, since it's your fault, it's up to you to take care of it. Don't worry. Father Wang has our brothers to take care of, so nothing will go wrong."
Mo Chenke's face was pale, and he clenched the hand holding the reins.
He never thought that he would be abandoned by his biological father.
In order to be able to become the son of the third prince, he cut off the relationship with the Lin family who raised him, completely separated from the past, studied hard every day, and forced himself to read those military books.
He paid so much in order to be the best child of the Three Kings.
But now, his biological father abandoned him so lightly.
As before, he did not hesitate to abandon the Lin family.
Four words popped up in Mo Chenke's mind: causal cycle.
Holding the last glimmer of hope, he drove his horse slowly to Zhou Chengjun's side under the sight of the third prince who was not too sad and gloated over his misfortune with several half-brothers.
Since Zhou Chengjun was able to 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 didn't do anything he didn't do. When it was over, he would immediately explain to the other party that he might have a chance at life.
Holding the despair of dying and the slightest hope that he might live, he finally walked in front of Zhou Chengjun.
"I don't know if City Lord Lin is here? Next is Mo Chenke. I came here to explain the misunderstanding of murdering the young master of your city."
Mo Chenke looked at the general with the helmet and the iron mask in front of him, bit the bullet and got off the horse, clenched his fists, and tried his best to appear neither humble nor arrogant.
The general sat on the horse and looked down at him: "You killed my eldest brother, I saw my father and brother with our own eyes, how could it be fake!"
It turned out that this person turned out to be the son of the city lord.
And listening to what he meant, it seems that he thought that Young Master Zhou Cheng was killed by his own hands, Mo Chenke
Hearing this, Mo Chenke was not surprised but happy, and quickly took off the helmet on his head, revealing a face full of mud and sand, "Please also see clearly, I am not the murderer of Zhou Cheng's young master."
Through the wire mask that protects his face, Lin Laosi looked at the man in a mess on the ground, but in front of him it seemed that this man appeared condescendingly in front of his family, abandoned his father, divorced his wife and abandoned his daughter.
Back then, the eldest brother didn't care about the eldest 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, in retrospect, he also guessed what Mo Chenke wanted. doing what.
It was revealed that they were not the parent and child of the Lin family, and they abandoned their wife and daughter on the spot.
He is forcing them to die.
And the reason why he wanted to kill his wife and daughter, the marriage with the Murong family can also be explained very clearly and thoroughly.
He who did such a thing that day had thought that these countrymen, who were not looked down upon, even had the power to control his life and death.
"Can you see clearly? I am indeed not the murderer of your brother."
"No."
Lin Laosi sneered and raised the long knife in his hand.
"I see it very clearly, it's you who killed my brother and humiliated my father. Today, you will leave your life behind!"
Mo Chenke's eyes flashed a long knife, his eyes were full of horror, he quickly rolled on the ground and turned over to avoid the past. superior.
"It's really not me!!"
At the moment of life and death, even his voice became shrill.
"I've never been to Zhoucheng, how could I kill the young master with my own hands!"
"I'll help you recall your memories."
An indifferent voice sounded, and it was very clear in this area where there were many people standing but no one made a sound.
Mo Chenke was held by several long knives across his neck, so he could only passively stand still, watching a man in armor come out.
He rode a good horse and wore armor, but his face was not covered with a wire mask.
The familiar face immediately made Mo Chenke stiffen, his eyes widened in disbelief, almost suspecting that he was still in a dream.
The man raised a long knife and pointed one at him.
"It was you who killed my son Guangyao with your own hands in front of my Lin family."
"How, do you remember?"
Mo Chenke was shaking all over, shaking his head with difficulty.
"Impossible... Impossible..."
How is this possible, how can a country man be the Lord of Zhoucheng.
Lin Lao Si also took off his face mask, revealing the face that had become resolute in just a few years.
"My eldest brother is Daddy's most beloved child. If he hadn't been killed by you, he would have inherited the entire Zhou City. Today, he will make you pay with blood!"
Inherit the entire Zhoucheng…
Mo Chenke was dizzy for a while, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of this sentence. After all, he was so loved before, if he didn't tear his face, he might have inherited Zhoucheng.
In his mind, Lin Shiheng, who abandoned his biological father without hesitation, and Lin Shiheng, who regarded him as his favorite, kept appearing in it.
Lin Shiheng looked at him in a trance, and added another sentence because he thought it was not enough.
"Speaking of which, the city lord can have the current prestige, but also rely on a good person."
Seeing Mo Chenke raised his head dazedly, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If it wasn't for the kind person who gave me a thousand taels of silver, how could I, who used to be just an ordinary carpenter, have the money to recruit troops to buy horses to build weapons."
Lin Lao Si immediately understood what he meant, and immediately responded: "What Dad said is to thank that kind person, otherwise, how can I attack the three of them without the glory of my father and son? Lord."
Mo Chenke froze all of a sudden.
The thousand taels are him...
It was he who personally supported Lin Shiheng... and stood at a high position.
Just as the sweetness in his throat reached his mouth and blood spilled out from his lips, Lin Shiheng had already stabbed him with a savage wound on his face.
"The boy's temper is so small, he vomits blood when he says he vomits blood."
"Help you stop the bleeding, no thanks."
