When the city guards arrived at the place where Amuer was attacked, there were no longer any living people in the small forest.
The corpses of A'Mu 'er's six guards lay quietly inside and outside the small forest. Their leather armor and weapons had been taken away, and the necks of several injured warhorses had been cut off. Their saddles had also been taken away, and A'Mu' er's money pouch hung on the saddle. The gold inside was worth about a hundred taels of silver.
"Trash, all of you are trash!" Seeing the assassin escape, A Mu Er flew into a rage.
The commander of the city guards was a hereditary Han army thousand-man. At this moment, he was being scolded like a grandson by A Mu 'er. He lowered his head and did not dare to retort.
After cursing for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, A Mu 'er vented the anger and fear in his heart. He then turned his head and beckoned at Zhu Wu and the other two." You guys come back with me."”
Then, his expression changed and he looked at the city guard commander coldly."Bring some men to escort us. Also, within seven days, I want to see the assassin's head.”
"Yes, sir!"
The Han Thousand Households lowered their heads in agreement, a hint of gloom flashing through their eyes.
This lord didn't even see the assassin's face. How were they supposed to find him? They could only find some scapegoats!
…………
"What is it? You're saying that Xiao Jiu has already mixed in?" Xu Da exclaimed at Zhu Yi.
A few days ago, Xiao Jiu had told him about the plan to attack A Mu 'er's manor. He had thought that it was a little unreliable, but he had not expected that in just seven days, Xiao Jiu would really sneak into A Mu' er's manor.
Zhu Yi nodded expressionlessly and said,"Brother Xiao Jiu means that when we attack A Mu 'er's manor tomorrow night, all of your people will change into black clothes and pretend to be members of our Black Flag Army.”
"You mean…to attack in the name of the Black Flag Army?”Xu Da muttered to himself.
This method could indeed prevent the soldiers from finding Gu Zhuang Village and the surrounding villages, but for Xiao Jiu, the pressure would be great.
"This is Brother Xiaojiu's idea. Firstly, it's to pull the flag for the Black Flag Army, and secondly, it's to give the officers and soldiers a target. Otherwise, the officers and soldiers of the Tartar Court will inevitably use the name of suppressing bandits to cause trouble everywhere.”Zhu Yi still had that indifferent expression.
Xu Da nodded and said sincerely,"Xiao Jiu is loyal!"
With Dexing's officers and soldiers, if this was a headless case, it was inevitable that they would use the name of searching for criminals to extort and even openly rob.
Xiao Jiu was deliberately exposing itself to prevent the soldiers from harming others.
Xu Da was still a little worried and could not help but ask,"If the soldiers come…"
Zhu Yi continued,"Brother Little Nine has long been prepared.”
…………
A Mu 'er's manor occupied more than 40 hectares of land, which was more than 60,000 square meters. It was more like a small city than a manor.
Inside the manor, there were fields, shops, workshops, thousands of villagers, continuous houses, and a large horse farm... It was self-sufficient behind closed doors. It was completely a small society.
In the middle of the manor stood a small castle with pilasters, arcades, circular towers, semi-circular archways, and a smooth dome. It was sturdy and artistic, with a bit of a Western style. It should have been built by the perverts.
At this moment, Zhu Wu and Guo Xing were standing outside the castle, watching A Mu Er enter.
Although they had obtained the initial recognition of A Mu Er, Zhu Wu and the other two were still not qualified to enter the castle. That was A Mu Er's kingdom, and only his closest and most trusted people could live there.
Zhu Wu, who was sizing up the castle to find the weakness of the defense, was suddenly patted on the shoulder by someone. He was shocked and almost counterattacked. Fortunately, he held back.
The person who patted him was a small steward of the manor. He was a Han man with the surname Wang. He was arranged to settle Zhu Wu and the other two.
The three of them were arranged to sleep in a large room.
After washing up, the three of them lay on the bed. Guo Xing and Guo Ying were both nervous and excited. They tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Zhu Wu, on the other hand, was fast asleep. He had already fallen asleep.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, why aren't you nervous at all? My heart is still pounding!”Guo Ying looked at the sleeping Zhu Wu with admiration.
"Of course. Little Ninth Brother is a man of great deeds. Why would he be nervous about attacking a Tartar Manor?!”Guo Xing's admiration for Zhu Wu was already deep in his bones. He only felt that there was nothing in this world that Brother Xiaojiu could not do.
"Brother Xiao Jiu is really amazing. Brother, do you think Brother Xiao Jiu wants to rebel?”Guo Ying said.
"Shh, can you say that? Even if Brother Xiao Jiu wants to rebel, I will follow him.”Guo Xing said.
"Me too. Little Ninth Brother will definitely be better than a dog tartar when he becomes the emperor!”Guo Ying said.
After chatting for a while, the two brothers finally fell asleep.
The next day, when they woke up, Zhu Wu was no longer in bed.
The two of them put on their clothes and went out to take a look. Zhu Wu was doing push-ups in the courtyard. His bare upper body was covered in sweat.
The speed of improvement brought by the heat flow had indeed slowed down, but it could not withstand the large amount. If he wanted to absorb all 28 heat flows, he would have to work harder.
Zhu Wu had already discovered that it seemed that actual combat had an effect on the absorption of heat flow. After the battle with the soldiers disguised as bandits that night, most of the heat flow in his body had been absorbed.
At the same time, the rapid growth of physical fitness brought about by absorbing the heat flow also required intensive training to adapt to the body.
Therefore, when Zhu Wu was free, he would train his body, his saber, and his riding skills. He would not let himself be idle for even a moment.
Even if he had to do something big tonight, he didn't want to waste his time in the day.
Guo Xing and Guo Ying felt ashamed. Brother Xiaojiu worked so hard, but they still slept in. They really shouldn't.
"Good morning, Brother Xiao Jiu!"
"Morning!"
Seeing Guo Xing and Guo Ying doing push-ups like him and sweating profusely after ten or so, Zhu Wu was secretly amused. He opened his mouth and said,"The two of you are not strong enough. You can't do too much at once.”
Zhu Wu stood up and wiped his sweat. He decided to guide Guo Xing and Guo Ying.
