PDLP Chapter 69 The Rebellion Was My Own
Chapter 69 The Rebellion Was My Own
Su Luo already knew from Ye Changfeng that the mayor of Yunhai Town, Xie Changyun, the young master of the Xie family, was planning to cause him trouble.
However, no one expected that the other side would directly send out yamen runners to attack the villagers of Xiaoyun Village...
If Su Luo stands by and watches his villagers being harmed without taking immediate action or remaining indifferent, how will he recruit soldiers in the future if the news gets out?
Who will still believe him?!
Therefore, when the constable lashed out at Tang Daniu, a murderous intent had already surfaced in Su Luo's eyes!
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the constables of Yunhai Town were first stunned, then grinned and sneered as if they had heard something absurd.
What did I just hear?
"Su Luo, you don't think that just because you were born into the Marquis of Sinan's family, you're someone of high status, do you?!"
"You dare to kill us? Forget killing us, you already committed a capital offense by attacking Old Bai just now. Even if I killed you on the spot... Ah!"
A constable on horseback pointed triumphantly at Su Luo, but before he could finish speaking, Su Luo had already raised his crossbow and fired an arrow like a black lightning bolt.
Almost instantly, it pierced the other person's throat!
"village head……"
Tang Daniu's eyes widened in panic: "I, I'm fine... Don't offend these people because of me..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the man fall from his horse after being hit by an arrow from Su Luo.
Blood gushed out, and he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
Shoot them dead!
This scene shocked everyone!
Only then did all the constables realize that Su Luo not only dared to attack them, but also dared to kill them!
"Be bold!"
"Su Luo, are you trying to rebel?!"
This startled all the constables, but they still shouted out in a show of bravado.
Apart from the constable who was still lying on the ground struggling, the other constables gathered together, extremely vigilant.
“Suluo, we are here on the mayor’s orders. I advise you not to resist…”
Su Luo snorted coldly, "Don't tell me you came on Xie Changyun's orders. Even if Su Changsheng sent you, so what?!"
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Daniu, who was staring in shock, and said, "Uncle Tang, you are a villager of Xiaoyun Village! Then you are my villager!"
"My villagers will not be allowed to be bullied by anyone!"
"They dared to lay a hand on you; they're asking for it... Come out and teach them a lesson!"
Swish!
As Su Luo's voice fell, dozens of figures clad in light armor immediately emerged from the surrounding area!
These armors are not made of refined steel, but they are still armors from the warehouse on Langya Mountain, which were originally given to Langya Mountain by the Su family!
Later, Su Luo discovered it, made some minor modifications to improve its performance, and then gave it to his subordinates.
This group of people, also privates, were led by Zhang Yu, an old guard from the Si family, and stayed in the village at all times.
In critical moments, they will step in to protect the villagers and the village!
As soon as Zhang Yu appeared, he looked at Su Luo with remorse, "Young Master, we failed in our duty and did not protect Old Man Tang well..."
In fact, they hadn't expected that the group of constables would go so far!
They attacked the villagers as soon as they arrived!
They generally don't want to be exposed, so they almost got into trouble!
Fortunately, Su Luo appeared just in time!
Su Luo shook her head and said coldly, "It's alright. I didn't expect Xie Changyun to go so far..."
"But it doesn't matter anymore! Since they tried to attack me and almost hurt Old Man Tang!"
"Then, kill them!"
Swish!
Upon hearing this, dozens of privates immediately surrounded a group of yamen runners in the center!
The constables panicked and repeatedly warned Su Luo, "Su Luo, what exactly do you want to do?!"
"Let me tell you, if you lay a hand on us, that would be treason!"
"Rebellion will result in the extermination of nine generations of one's family..."
Whizzing!
Before the sound could be heard, black lightning bolts began to pierce the sky one after another!
Those were crossbow bolts from a compound crossbow, and in an instant, they killed most of the constables!
Xie Changyun sent a total of twenty-six constables. Su Luo killed one and wounded another.
The remaining twenty-four men were then caught in a hail of arrows, and the constables were scattered and killed. Those who survived...
Less than ten people!
These ten people had eyes full of terror and their faces were pale!
They dismounted and kowtowed repeatedly in Su Luo's direction, saying, "Su Luo... Lord Su, we were wrong!"
"Please, please let us go! We really know we were wrong. Please, please let us go! We'll do anything for you!"
Zhang Yu subconsciously looked at Su Luo, knowing that Su Luo still wanted to continue expanding the manpower of Xiaoyun Village.
Su Luo waved his hand and said coldly, "Kill them all!"
"Serve like a beast of burden? Ha! They're not qualified!"
As soon as Su Luo gave the order, a new volley of arrows rained down!
All the yamen runners sent by Xie Changyun were killed!
Even the constable who had been wounded by Su Luo's arrows earlier died in the rain of arrows.
The ground was a mess, with only a dozen or so warhorses remaining.
Su Luo looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, find someone who knows how to train horses and keep these horses!"
"These are all important resources..."
People are easy to recruit, but horses are hard to buy!
To have a sufficiently powerful army, you need not only infantry, but also cavalry!
During this period, in addition to recruiting soldiers, Su Luo also kept buying horses, but unfortunately, apart from the few dozen horses he already had on Langya Mountain, he gained nothing else.
In the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, the excessive buying and selling of horses has always been prohibited.
This is even stricter than the regulation of salt sales!
Even the Heavenly Fortune Merchant Guild couldn't find a usable warhorse for Su Luo, though they had plenty of mules.
Now that these yamen runners have brought these warhorses to his door, Su Luo certainly won't be polite.
"Also, those dead warhorses, dispose of them on the spot and use them as an extra meal for the villagers..."
As Su Luo finished speaking, he glanced at the corpses of the constables with disgust, "And these corpses should be cleaned up and thrown into the mountains to feed the dogs!"
Tang Daniu finally came to his senses at this moment, and said tremblingly, "Village chief, we...we..."
"We've made a huge mistake!"
"If these yamen runners die here, Yunhai Town will definitely react!"
"At that time, they will definitely send more yamen runners over... and they might even think we are rebelling..."
At this point, Tang Daniu's voice unconsciously lowered. Upon closer reflection, it seemed that what Xiaoyun Village was doing now was not much different from a rebellion!
Oh no, I'm the one who's rebelling!
Upon hearing this, Su Luo patted Tang Daniu on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Tang, don't worry, nothing will happen!"
"Since the mayor of Yunhai Town is determined to cause us trouble, we cannot tolerate it!"
"If we tolerate it, he'll only take it a step further!"
A glint of light flashed in Su Luo's eyes, and the coldness in his voice was almost bone-chilling: "Therefore, not only can we not tolerate it... we must also take the initiative!"
"So they know we're not to be trifled with!"
