Just as Zhen Xian had expected, the resistance of the Zhen family attracted Zhou Cang's attention.
Zhou Cang heard that the Zhen Residence and the other great clans were resisting strongly, so he immediately brought the Boulder Camp and the Divine Martial Camp over.
At this moment, the Zhen Residence was surrounded by thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers. Not even a fly could escape.
However, the servants of the Zhen family were also fearless and the bows in their hands were very accurate.
As long as the Yellow Turban youth got close to the Zhen residence, he would be shot by the arrows.
At this moment, the Yellow Turbans outside the Zhen residence saw Zhou Cang and made way for him.
Lieutenant Xu Shen said carefully,""General, we have besieged the Zhen Residence for an hour and lost a hundred men, but we still haven't taken down the Zhen Residence.”
The young men Xu Shen led were all from the 17 counties of Yingchuan. At this moment, losing a hundred people made his heart ache.
After all, the rewards and the order of the young men were all based on battle achievements.
Xu Shen and the others entered the city late, so they did not capture many soldiers. They only hoped to bite down on these tough bones and obtain some military achievements.
Otherwise, Zhou Cheng would have rewarded and punished them clearly. If they could not take down the Zhen Residence, not only would Xu Shen and the others lose face, but they would also have no way to explain themselves to Zhou Cheng.
" Everyone inside, listen up! Open the door and surrender immediately! Otherwise, we'll kill our way into the manor and leave no one alive!" Zhou Cang shouted.”
Zhen Xian peeked out from the roof and looked at Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang was tall and sturdy, with dark skin. He was dressed in traditional armor and held an iron spear in his hand. He looked majestic and completely different from the moth bandit captain beside him.
The Zhen family was a merchant, a businessman.
The businessman was the most accurate in judging people. He knew that Zhou Cang was a high-ranking general among the moth thieves at the first glance. He shouted,"General, I'm Zhen Xian from the Zhen family of Wuji County in Zhong Shan, Ji Province. I have something important to discuss with your Qu Shuai.”
Negotiations were tricky. First, they had to arouse the other party's interest.
Without a doubt, the Zhen family of Wuji County in Jizhou had enough influence.
After all, the Zhen family was the richest family in Jizhou, and their businesses were spread all over the provinces and counties.
Zhou Cang was stunned when he heard that. Then, he asked,"What is it?"
"There are too many people and too many eyes. It's inconvenient. After the general retreats, I'll send someone to talk to the general."”
Xu Shen and the other lieutenants looked at each other, not understanding what Zhen Xian was up to.
Zhou Cang was a boorish man who liked to be straightforward and did not like to beat around the bush. He said,"You're deliberately mystifying me. If you still don't open the door, I'll kill my way in now.”
After saying that, Zhou Cang waved his hand at the Divine Martial Camp officer behind him.
The Divine Martial Camp pushed the catapults up.
If they were filled with kerosene and stone bullets, the Zhen Manor would definitely turn into a sea of fire.
Boor!
Zhen Xian cursed Zhou Cang in his heart, but his attitude was even more respectful."The Zhen family is like a caged bird, how would they dare to play tricks on you? However, this matter concerns the rations of one hundred thousand troops, so please report this to the canal marshal first before making a decision.”
When Zhou Cang heard this, he pondered for a while before sending someone to report to the Provincial Governor's Office.
In the Provincial Governor's Office.
Mrs. Cai was temporarily placed in the west wing of the backyard and arranged for more than ten strong women to take care of her.
Xun Cai went to the east wing.
Zhou Cheng had already taken off his armor. He was bare-chested and was applying medicine.
"You can go down first. I'll handle this.”Seeing the arrow wounds on Zhou Cheng's body, his skin and flesh were torn open, and he was bleeding profusely, Xun Cai felt his heart ache. Then, he took the medicine from the medical craftsman and began to apply it on Zhou Cheng.
There were many scars on Zhou Cheng's body. There were knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and arrow wounds. They were densely packed, some deep, some shallow.
However, Zhou Cheng hugged Xun Cai and kissed her as if the wounds on his body did not hurt at all.
Zhou Cheng wanted to be with Xun Cai every day for the first time.
However, Xun Cai had to take care of Lady Cai and was concerned about filial piety, so he was afraid that Lady Cai would notice. Ever since Zhou Cheng had crossed Hebei and led his army to attack, he had no time to rest.
"Oh…"
Xun Cai's mouth was sealed and he could not speak. He could only try to push Zhou Cheng away.
The sky was not dark yet. Although she was already a married woman, this was too embarrassing.
However, Zhou Cheng was too strong for her to push him away, so she had no choice but to comply.
When Xun Cai's entire body was weak and his forehead was covered in sweat, Zhou Chengcai heaved a long sigh of relief.
Although you are as brave as Xiang Yu, you still need to be careful of flying arrows and rocks in battle formations…"
Xun Cai was now Zhou Cheng's subordinate, so most of the words he said were for his sake and worried for him. Especially when she saw the new arrow wound on his body, she felt even more sorry.
However, Zhou Cheng's mind was filled with thoughts of continuing to be husband and wife. Besides, Xun Cai was indeed beautiful.
This made Xun Cai feel embarrassed, but he was also a little happy. After all, as a woman, it was a happy thing to be doted on by her husband.
At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.
"The Zhen family of Wuji County, Zhong Shan County, Ji Province, has something important to discuss with the canal marshal.”
"The canal marshal and his wife are resting. Wait here, I'll go report.”
Two men's conversation came from the corridor.
