This is the order Luo Chong gave to his soldiers. There is no need to be polite to these guys. It would be quite merciful not to kill them.
The anti-smuggling captain of the Salt Department was still waiting for a certain fat sheep to come up to him and say good things and give him money. Unexpectedly, there was a metallic sound and a metallic sound rushed out from the bottom cabin. A group of strong men also drew out their standard combat knives.
Standard combat knife?
They all know the goods well, and they can tell at a glance that these are standard combat knives only owned by regular soldiers, rather than ordinary single-handed swords made privately by powerful civilians.
He is not a wealthy businessman from other places. The other party really has an official background?
"etc!"
The deputy raised his hands and shouted: "There may be a misunderstanding here. Please identify yourself."
"I just told you that my general is a third-grade military general. You don't believe me."
The soldier who had previously communicated with him sneered and replied: "Now, my general has given the order to throw you into the river. It is already too late to regret it now."
After saying this, he stopped being nagging and rushed forward with the others.
After a ping-ping-pong-pong fight, the people in the Salt Division will definitely resist, but although they have the advantage in numbers, they are just soft-footed shrimps. They are not even as good as trained ordinary soldiers. How can they possibly defeat Luo Chong's men? Warriors are personal soldiers.
Plop! Plop! Plop
Like dumplings, people kept being kicked or thrown out of the boat. There were sounds of falling into the water, and there were people screaming loudly in the river: "Help, I don't know how to swim, I don't know how to swim, help me"
Are you kidding me? They hang out on the canal all day long and can¡¯t swim. Are these guys so unprofessional?
It¡¯s a pity that no one cared about him, he deserved to drown.
The deputy was a smart man. When he saw that the situation was not good, he jumped up and fled to one of their two clippers. This guy is also quite skilled in martial arts, and he is quite flexible with his feet. With a slight tap on the board, he will land on the opposite deck in a blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow flew over and pierced his thigh directly. The guy froze and screamed like a fat duck that had been hit by an arrow and fell into the river.
The archer was not Luo Chong, but the temporary captain of this group of soldiers. His archery skills were quite good, and he could be called a sharp archer in the regular army.
The general said, throw them all into the river, then no one can be missed!
Any order given by Luo Chong will be carried out by the soldiers meticulously, and they are even willing to fight to the death. Once they take action, they will not care about the identity of the other party.
But after that, they will not stop the people on the two boats from salvaging the drowned people, one yard at a time. This does not conflict with our general's order.
A quarter of an hour later, the two speedboats had almost salvaged the drowning man and left immediately, not daring to make any resistance. They already knew that Luo Chong's boat was filled with a group of guys with extremely strong combat capabilities. A good man would not suffer the immediate loss. Let¡¯s talk about it after running away.
"General, are we leaving now?"
The boss of the ship already knew that his employer was a third-grade military general, so he bowed respectfully on the deck and asked.
If he were to find out that the eldest princess of the current dynasty was also on board, he would probably be frightened half to death.
¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry, just wait here.¡±
Luo Chong¡¯s voice came from the cabin on the top floor: ¡°If the matter is completely resolved, they will not dare to vent their anger on you when you return.¡±
"Thank you, General, for your consideration. The common people are grateful"
The boss of the boat bowed repeatedly below. To be honest, he did have this worry himself. After all, he was making a living on the canal. No matter what the reason, no one dared to offend him.
Then just keep waiting.
The passenger ship anchored and was temporarily moored.
The scenery here is good, and there are no wind and waves. It is very suitable for stopping the boat, drinking, reciting poems and having fun.
Luo Chong didn't like to recite poems, so he just asked the cook to start cooking some side dishes immediately, and he wanted to have a few drinks with Her Royal Highness.
The cook is the personal servant of Her Royal Highness the Princess. She has served the Princess for many years. Of course she knows what she likes to eat. It goes without saying how good her cooking skills are.
Her Highness the Princess has just been very angry by those greedy and corrupt local officials. She really needs a little bourgeoisie to adjust her mood.
But her mind was still echoing with the treacherous and shocking words Luo Chong had just said. As soon as she sat down and before the food and wine were served, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "You, just now"Are you serious? "
Luo Chong knew what she was referring to. She was the founding empress, so why was it so difficult? He said, "As long as you have that ambition."
As long as she nods and agrees, Luo Chong will promptly notify the Taiping Holy Sect: My mind has changed and I no longer support that King Kaiping. I have a better candidate for the new emperor.
This is not a change of heart. After all, I have not had any contact with King Kaiping once, and I have not made any commitment to him.
"No!"
Yongning's answer was: "I don't have that kind of ambition. No matter what, I can't personally overthrow my father's empire, even if it is indeed rotten to the core as you said."
"OK."
Luo Chong nodded relaxedly: "Whatever you want."
"A dynasty changes, a country changes hands, how can such a big thing be so casual in your mind?"
Yongning looked at him deeply: "It gives me the feeling that once you fall in love with him, anyone can become the emperor of the new dynasty."
Isn¡¯t that what it is?
Luo Chong smiled and replied humbly: "Who can't brag? You don't need to take it seriously."
"But I don't think you are bragging."
Yongning sighed in a low voice: "No matter what, I just ask you to save your father's life as much as possible, and"
"good."
Luo Chong nodded and agreed: "Even if the world changes hands, for your sake, I can still protect the lives of all of you Xiao royal family. At the worst, I will send you overseas and find a smaller place to continue." Maintain royal dignity.¡±
There are many large islands in the southeastern sea, and there are hundreds of thousands of local indigenous people. In the future, the Xiao family will go there to rule the archipelago, and there is nothing wrong with being the leader of an island country.
Even if he agreed in person, Yongning's mood was still quite complicated. It was impossible to explain clearly in a few words. After all, her royal bloodline and princess status were at stake here.
After a moment of silence, she added: "But this will definitely greatly affect the relationship between you and the new emperor."
It is not difficult to guess that as the emperor of the new dynasty, he will definitely wipe out the Xiao royal family of the Jin Dynasty to prevent them from resurrecting. If Luo Chong tried to protect the Xiao family, he would inevitably have conflicts or estrangements with the new emperor, which would be difficult to eliminate or heal.
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Chong, however, waved his hand casually and replied: "If he is unhappy with me, I will be unhappy with him. The worst is to kill him and select an obedient and sensible son from his son to inherit the throne."
"you really¡¡"
Yong Ning was actually a little speechless, saying that he was bragging and not drafting, but in his heart, he felt that he could really do it.
It seems that there is nothing in the world that he cannot do
There were too many things to think about, but not many words to say. For a while, Yongning also fell silent.
When the food and wine were served, the scenery was picturesque, but not as warm and sweet as imagined. The river rippled and time passed. After a while, several larger official ships came towards this side.
There is no doubt that a large team of people from the local salt department rushed over, but I don¡¯t know whether they plan to negotiate peacefully or use force
