Chapter 12 The Bull's Knife Trial
When the sun finally set a little bit of beauty and the sky was full of colorful clouds, Xiao Hao was in the middle, Xiao Shilong and Li Yulong guarded each other, and the three of them rode together into Xiaojia Town. Before they knew it, both Xiao and Li families had already regarded Xiao Hao as their hope.
Many of the residents of Xiaojia Town who rushed over after hearing the news were already welcomed on both sides of the road. However, the careful Xiao Hao had already discovered that these people's eyes were full of worries.
After a little thought, Xiao Hao understood their problem. First of all, it was not necessary to say that it would not rain for two years; and under such circumstances, the Xiao family actually launched a large-scale conquest, afraid of war! No matter how civilians there were, they always longed for peace.
But look at the current Xiao family, who fought in three places a day, although they all won a great victory and obtained a huge amount of wealth, this really has nothing to do with the civilians - at least it doesn't seem to matter now.
"Dad!" Xiao Hao turned to look at his father. At this time, he had to say something.
Xiao Shilong is worthy of being the head of the Xiao family and mayor of the Xiao family town. "Dear villagers, Xiao Shilong congratulates you all.
We have conquered Kaoshan Town, Shitang Town and Huangshi Town. We have enough strength to open canals and divert water to irrigate the fields. When you go home and prepare, we will open the canal as soon as possible, so everyone can be prepared. During the canal opening, all the consumption of Xiaojia Town will be provided by our Xiaojia family!
After the channel is opened, each person will have one tael of silver!
The reason we attacked Kaoshan Town, Shitang Town and Huangshi Town was because they refused to open the canal to divert water. They wanted to force everyone to death, and then they were ready to take advantage of the situation and buy everyone's fields at a low price!"
"Kill them! Kill them!" The people in Haizhou are so fierce that they are clearly manifested here. When these civilians reacted, their first reaction was to kill all the people in the three towns! Of course, if they are angry, they may not necessarily dare to take action, but this is enough to show the general situation.
Xiao Hao nodded secretly while watching, and the people's hearts are available! After planning for eight or nine years, Xiaojia Town has already had the people's hearts in the Xiaojia Town. Don't underestimate that Xiaojia Town has only more than 1,200 households, with a population of only about 6,000. The real young and strong (not counting women, referring to the ancient social environment, don't look down on them, don't criticize them) is only more than 2,000; but you must understand that this is an ancient world. If two thousand people are fully armed, it will definitely be a terrible combat power, and there is absolutely no problem sweeping across Haizhou.
After Xiao Shilong said something, the eyes of the people around him immediately changed, and from his previous expressions of suspicion, worry, etc., they immediately became fanatical!
There are too many key points in Xiao Shilong's words! First of all, of course, the attitude of the Xiao family is definitely 100% support! Opening canals and diverting water is for the farmers themselves, and the Xiao family also pays for the food. Also, the reason why the Xiao family fought was not because it provoked war for no reason, but because others were looking for trouble! This is to uphold justice for the common people!
Among these people, there are some people from Lijia Town. When these people saw that their master did not come out, they could guess it, but they did not make any progress.
Of course, there are people sent by other forces, but these people's eyes are very strange!
There are so many horses in the Xiao family and the Li family! Also, their powerful combat power, powerful crossbows, sharp-shaped sabers, etc., all made these spies with blood-licking blood on their heads numb on their scalp.
Xiao Shilong, Li Yulong and his group walked by with high ambitions, carrying a small number of prisoners around them. In Shitang Town and Huangshi Town, the prisoners were mainly small leaders, etc., rather than like Kuashan Town, but almost all the warriors were taken away.
After arriving at the Xiao family, I saw hundreds of people in the yard where I was training, with their hands tied up and standing there. Some of the people from the Xiao family were holding knives and some holding bows.
"Xiao Hao, how do you deal with these people?" Xiao Shilong has begun to consciously cultivate Xiao Hao's ability.
"Well, dad, I think every ten people will ask about the situation separately and distinguish between good and bad. Those who do not do bad things will be let go directly. Those who usually cause trouble in the village will be taken directly. The abilities I get at night will require some people to do experiments."
"Yeah, it's not bad." Xiao Shilong nodded. He caught all these people at the beginning to prevent anyone from making trouble later. Now that the Xiao family and the Li family have done their jobs, there is no need to worry.
After that, the soldiers who fought three times in a row simply ate a few bites of food and fell asleep; but the people from the Li family also went home to set up defenses. However, some of the injured were left behind.
As for before leaving, Xiao Hao told all the warriors participating in the battle that each person would receive a reward of 3 to 5 taels of silver, and after the statistics were completed, they would be paid. In addition, those injured were extremely serious, seriously injured, and generally, with minor injuries, and 10,6,3, and 1 taels of silver respectively.
In this battle, none of them died on the spot, and the most injured one was just a few times by a knife - one was relatively "lucky", and was lucky enough to slash the neck with one knife, which was almost dead. However, this is not worth being happy, because in ancient times, 70% of the injuries were caused by the later wounds. Therefore, Xiao Hao was ready to test his abilities overnight.
This time, a total of 18 people in the Xiao family and the Li family were seriously injured, not in the skin and flesh, but in the muscles, that is, those who are prone to inflammation and death. Of course, because everyone is practicing martial arts, they are not so fragile.
In the evening, Xiao Hao knocked out 10 of the 26 people he finally selected and threw them on the ground. He didn't have time to find any red sandalwood. Although this thing is not as precious as jade, Haizhou cannot use this thing, so where can I find it in a short time. However, Xiao Hao also thought of a way to press the handprint! It should be fine to try it! Didn't the signing and sealing just press the handprint in the past?
Xiang'er was next to him and put the prepared things one by one, including cinnabar, hard yellow paper, wolf hair, and graphite, but there was no shortage of red sandalwood.
Xiao Hao ignored others, closed his eyes and pondered, and then wrote two seal scripts on a piece of paper "Deprive and give" them. The texts in this world are the same as those in ancient China. After many evolutions, they are now using traditional Chinese characters in squares. Therefore, it is still very simple to learn two seal scripts, and you can read them by flipping through them.
After writing, Xiao Hao had no idea in his heart. He pressed the cinnabar handprint and pasted the paper on the target person's chest. A little white light flashed, and the paper trembled slightly, and then it seemed much more vivid and lively. Then the word "deprived" disappeared, leaving only the word "given".
Moreover, the paper piece at this moment actually weighs a pound!
"Brother Han Sheng, let's go to the injured place. This person, loosens his ties, finds a clean room, and sends someone to take turns to take care of him tonight. Send a few more people, and there can't be any sharp things in the room, and chopsticks and other things can't be left behind. Let's record everything about him tonight."
"Okay." Although Han Sheng was surprised by Xiao Hao's actions, he still did it. He ordered the nine people around him to take turns to rest. Anyway, there will be no war tomorrow. Moreover, everyone trains every day, and today's battle is really not fierce, and it is not even as strict as Xiao Hao's designated training!
Xiao Hao did not hide the people around him; because he had already considered it, there would be someone to help in some things in the future, and he would not be able to do it alone; since that is the case, it would be better to start now. Establish a trust relationship as much as possible. Xiao Hao understood that if you want to go far in the future, you must have enough loyal people to help! The so-called "one person can make a fortune in the world," Xiao Hao felt that he was not fully sure, and he challenged the world alone, and there was not even a person who delivered letters and meals!
The worst-injured one was cut on the neck. Although the bleeding had stopped and the artery was not damaged, this position was really dangerous and he was still wandering in front of the gate of hell.
Xiao Hao looked at the situation around him. In addition to a few injuries, there were also some doctors and doctors. These people were not worthy of full trust because some of them were temporarily hired.
"Brother Han Sheng, carry this person out and into my room."
"Wait, wait, young master, this person cannot move, it will be fatal!" An old doctor came over to stop him.
"It's Uncle Liu. Hello Uncle Liu, I know. But this warrior is still in a coma now, and there are some special medicines on the kid. That's not convenient to expose it, so please forgive me." Xiao Hao smiled. Nowadays, there are exclusive secret recipes that need to be hidden, and Xiao Hao's words are not too much.
"Oh... Then this is the case, I will send him to you with you." Uncle Liu is really a noble character and has a lot of medical ethics.
"Thank you Uncle Liu, it's really a blessing for this warrior with Uncle Liu's help!"
"You guys are sweet-mouthed. Let's go."
A two-person stretcher carried the unconscious patient to Xiao Hao's yard, which completely eliminated the covetousness of outsiders and was trustworthy around him.
The little maid Xiang'er looked curious next to her, but she didn't dare to disturb her.
"Carry it into my room." Xiao Hao took the lead in walking into his room without hesitation. The injured person was not from the Xiao family, but from the Li family; but the two families are now very harmonious from top to bottom, and Xiao Hao is not sure if something strange will happen during the treatment period, so it is better to move to his room.
When the door was closed, only Xiang'er, Han Sheng and Zhang Yun were left in Xiao Hao's room.
Xiao Hao took out the heavy yellow paper with a pound of hard yellow paper, slapped the injury, and pressed it on his chest.
Swish... a hazy white light flashed, and instantly the paper turned into fine powder and flew around; and a milky white light like silk brushed over the other person and then disappeared. The whole process was less than 3 seconds.
"Yeah!" The wounded suddenly moaned and slowly opened his eyes, "I... am I dead..." His voice was full of confusion.
"Puff..." Xiang'er suddenly laughed, her voice clear and lively: "No, you are living well."
"Haha..." Xiang'er's words made the other three laugh.
Xiao Hao smiled even more and trembled all over, but after all, he was concerned about his new skills. "Don't move first, I'll look at your wound."
As he said that, carefully uncover the other party's gauze - it's actually a bandage. With tens of thousands of years of history, there are some things in this world.
After removing the gauze, I found a piece of dead skin falling down, and tender flesh had already grown from the wound.
"Ha, perfect!" Xiao Hao jumped happily and hit the beam of the house again on his head.
"Wow, young master, are you going to fly...Can you take Xiang'er with you..."
"Haha..." Han Sheng and Zhang Yun couldn't stand up straight after laughing.
"Hey, we are very energetic. We will prepare a new training method tomorrow!" Xiao Hao's face was dark. Of course, the light in his eyes could not be concealed, and he did not expect that it would be fine to press the fingerprints!
Chapter completed!
