Chapter 131 The East Wind Has Arrived
"There is absolutely no possibility of this!"
Su Changsheng said with absolute certainty, "How could Su Luo possibly deal with Xue Baichen and five hundred elite soldiers? That Xiaoyun Village is just a tiny place!"
"It must have been the forces behind him that made the move..."
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion then asked, "Since it was the force behind him that made the move, could it be that the Feiyun City mine was also involved...?"
She looked worried. If the forces behind Su Luo were powerful enough to dare to attack the Mo family's mines, then dealing with Su Luo in the future would come at a much higher price.
Su Changsheng shook his head and said, "Madam, you are overthinking it. The accident at the Feiyun City mine was caused by a thunderbolt in broad daylight!"
"It's said that some people saw it with their own eyes—a fiery snake flashed across the sky, clearly a bolt of lightning from the heavens, unavoidable..."
"Don't worry too much. The New Year is approaching. Even if Su Luo can come back then, I will make sure he can't leave again!"
As he finished speaking, a ruthless glint flashed in Su Changsheng's eyes.
Then he added, "However, what I'm worried about is that someone might take advantage of the chaos..."
"After all, the Mo family has been mining this iron ore for so many years, which has caused a lot of public resentment. Now that this incident has suddenly occurred, it is likely that many people will take advantage of the chaos to rise up in rebellion!"
"I have mobilized a total of four thousand troops from the four towns surrounding Feiyun City, one thousand from each town, and they have all been dispatched to suppress the rebellion!"
"In addition, I also mobilized two thousand soldiers from my Marquis's manor! A total of six thousand men, that should be enough to suppress the rebellion..."
The First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion, watching him ramble on, immediately understood, "My Lord, what do you want me to say to the Xue family?!"
Su Changsheng smiled shamelessly, "My wife is indeed intelligent. There's no way I could hide it from her... I wanted to ask my wife to ask my father-in-law. As the Marquis of Sinan, I can accompany the army of 10,000, and since I am guarding the border, theoretically, the number of troops I can accompany can double!"
"However, I currently only have eight thousand men under my command... Father-in-law, is there anything you can do to help me?!"
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion was immediately shocked. "My Lord, you want my father to give you twelve thousand men?!"
Su Changsheng quickly shook his head, "No need, no need! Four thousand people are enough!"
"If you give me another four thousand men, even if the barbarians invade my Linshui County again, I can defend it in time! This is also for the safety of Linshui County!"
The First Lady of the Marquis's Mansion calmed down and hesitated for a moment: "In recent days, there have been frequent battles, and my father's troops have suffered heavy losses..."
"I'm not sure if it will go smoothly, I'll go and ask first."
Su Changsheng smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam... Don't worry, Madam, that little brat Su Luo will definitely not pose a threat. I will definitely take care of him when the time comes!"
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Su Changsheng knew that the First Madam of the Marquis's Mansion was furious about Su Luo's existence, but if he could exchange Su Luo's life for four thousand men...
That’s totally worth it!
Furthermore, there is a mysterious force behind Su Luo, the specifics of which are unknown!
It would be better to wait until the New Year holidays, when Su Luo returns to the Marquis's residence, before taking action against him...
At that time, we can also find out what that mysterious force is!
……
"Young master, the garrisons of all four towns have been mobilized!"
"More than half of the troops have been mobilized in every region, including the Marquis's entourage in Shuiyun Town... Shouldn't we make our move?!"
On Langya Mountain, after receiving intelligence from the outside, Han Yan rushed in immediately, his face full of excitement.
A smile appeared on Su Luo's face as he looked at Shen Laosan: "Uncle Shen, it seems... the east wind has arrived!"
Shen Laosan looked surprised. "All the troops stationed outside have been mobilized. What's going on?!"
"Could it be that barbarians have invaded again?!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Su Luo.
Su Luo was speechless and said, "Uncle Shen, are you worried that I'll take advantage of the barbarian invasion and the suffering of the people to attack the government troops?!"
"Isn't that profiting from the dead? Don't worry, I'm not that heartless!"
"Do you remember the twenty pounds of gunpowder I asked you for last time?!"
Su Luo smiled and said, "I had someone take it to the Mo family's mine outside Feiyun City!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Laosan took a deep breath and immediately realized what was happening.
So everything was within Sulo's calculations.
Su Luo was worried that others would discover the existence of gunpowder, so he did not want to use it on the battlefield.
That doesn't mean we won't use it!
Its use in the mineral vein, before anyone had even seen it, caused a sensation!
Shen Laosan said, "This... won't people think it's some kind of ghost or god magic?!"
"Commander Shen, you really are a prophet!"
Han Yan glanced at Shen Laosan in shock and said, "Now, everyone's saying that the mine in Feiyun City is retribution manifesting itself, a thunderclap in broad daylight..."
Shen Laosan's lips twitched. What thunder in broad daylight? What retribution in this world?!
That was all Su Luo's scheme!
Su Luo then looked at Han Yan and said, "Now that the east wind has arrived, then the plan... should be put into action!"
"Starting from Yunhai Town, Feixia Town responded by sending troops directly towards Shuiyun Town!"
"This Shuiyun Town is where Marquis Sinan hides his troops... Heh, once Shuiyun Town falls, it will definitely throw Marquis Sinan, Su Changsheng, into a panic!"
"Then we'll know exactly how to deal with him!"
Su Luo gradually realized that, given the speed at which he trained his troops, under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be so easy to truly destroy the Marquis of Sinan's mansion!
However, some victories and defeats do not occur on the battlefield, but rather... outside the battlefield!
Just like playing Go, everyone thinks the key to victory lies outside the board, but who would have thought there are moves outside the board?
Therefore, this is Su Luo's revenge against Xue Baichen for attacking Shuiyun Town!
In fact... it was also a test that Su Luo was giving Su Changsheng!
Let's see what measures and reactions Su Changsheng will take in his anger!
……
After obtaining intelligence about Han Yan, Su Luo ordered Han Yan to garrison Langya Mountain and not participate in the battle this time.
Then, he led a hundred elite soldiers straight to Yunhai Town.
Although Han Yan longed to shine on the battlefield, he also understood that Su Luo had entrusted him with guarding Langya Mountain because of his trust in him...
Therefore, Han Yan had no objections.
When Su Luo arrived at Yunhai Town with his men, they happened to run into the remaining thousand garrison troops who were surrounding the town.
The thousand garrison troops were taken aback when they saw the army that Su Luo had brought.
"Who are you?! Do you intend to attack the city?!"
