The Era of Generals

Chapter 701   The head of the family

"no?"

"Why?"

The person who made the proposal was obviously disappointed and stunned.

"Our brothers are in this Dongping City, where can we not do it?"

After holding back for a while, he still couldn't help asking.

"It's not impossible, but if you go today, you won't have a good time."

The person who was questioned responded with a haha: "Brother, I don't know, where are we in charge today!"

"Think about it, the head of the family is here, and it's okay if we go, but what good is our turn?"

"I'm here, and I can't have fun, and I have to bow my head. Isn't it uncomfortable for myself?"

"Let's, why not just have a good drink or two and stay until tomorrow, ah, tomorrow, brother will definitely let you enjoy the blessings of being equal to everyone!"

"Well...so that's the case, then there's no need to rob the head of the family for a woman..."

"But I said brother, brother, I just arrived in Dongping City and I don't know very well. Could it be that there is only one brothel in this city?"

Clearly not willing to give up.

"Hey!"

"How big do you think this Dongping City is? It's not bad to have a family!"

"It's... okay, okay."

As far as this point is concerned, the two of them stopped talking, and then listened to some drunken chatter.

Tang Tianxing picked up his wine glass and took a sip, already thinking about it.

Head of the house?

These three words are not unfamiliar to him, and at the same time, these three words made Tang Tianxing's heart suddenly open.

If these three words are added to the strange situation in Dongping City, then there seems to be a reasonable explanation.

Bandits!

It is very likely that the one who occupied Dongping City was not Cheng Hong, nor the previous guard of Dongping City, but was taken by bandits!

This discovery made Tang Tianxing laugh and cry.

Yes, in the past history, this is not impossible.

Sometimes, when the two empires were fighting fiercely, some large-scale bandit forces would also take advantage of the gap and forcefully invade some fringe cities that the attention of the two warring parties would not be able to touch for the time being.

But most of them will not occupy this city, but will leave quickly after some looting.

It is rare for Dongping City to not only be breached but also occupied by bandits like this time.

But it's not like it hasn't happened.

No wonder he has been wandering around the city for so long, but he has never heard any useful news. It turned out that he didn't dare to say anything.

Bandits and the army are naturally different.

When a city is captured by a large army, considering the follow-up plan, it is generally not to choose to kill the civilians in the city too much. It seems that Zheng Yuanyun's massacre of the city is actually very rare.

And bandits?

They don't care what plan is or not, robbing a city is a city, and not burning the entire city, it's all for face.

The brutality of the bandits is far above that of the army.

Therefore, Dongping City looks harmonious, but it's just because no one touches that dangerous point.

Although this is only Tang Tianxing's unilateral speculation, he can almost be sure that this must be the case.

After thinking for a moment, he took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and threw it on the table, then walked out of the restaurant by himself.

Whether it is true or not, this person in charge has become Tang Tianxing's target, and he can be captured and handed over to Chen Ze.

He didn't ask passers-by where the brothel is, the topography of the entire Dongping City has long been in his mind.

After going out from the restaurant, Tang Tianxing turned two streets and stopped at the intersection.

That's right!

Sitting sideways and hiding at the corner, Tang Tianxing nodded slightly.

The City Lord's Mansion, which was supposed to be the core of Dongping City, was lonely and cold as an orphan.

However, in this place of fireworks, what Tang Tianxing saw was heavily guarded.

The brothel with two big medicine lanterns was in the middle of the street, but Tang Tianxing had only walked to the street entrance when he saw a large number of soldiers guarding it.

There are very few passers-by on this street, and even if there are a few, after entering the street, they have to be carefully checked by the soldiers before being allowed to enter.

Tang Tianxing thought for a while, and didn't go over to accept the inspection ostentatiously.

Instead, he looked left and right, found a sparsely populated place, and then repeated his old trick, jumping onto the roof.

Tang Tianxing dodged around on the roof, using the ups and downs of the roof as a springboard, he slowly approached the brothel with the plaque on the Lichun Courtyard.

It can be seen that, in addition to the guards set up by soldiers at the entrance of the street, the gate of the Lichun Courtyard is the most important point of strict defense.

If it weren't for the two bustards standing at the gate, most people would believe that this is the real City Lord's Mansion.

It's a pity that no matter how hard the two old bustards worked, there was a group of vicious guards standing at the door, so no one would dare to come in so carelessly.

Thinking of the conversation between the two buddies in the restaurant, Tang Tianxing also shook his head and smiled, secretly thinking that it would be wise not to say anything.

He looked at it, and the whole person leaped lightly, from the opposite side to the roof of Lichun Courtyard.

The soldiers investigating below didn't know anything about it.

And this further convinced Tang Tianxing that the army in Dongping City was disguised by bandits.

Otherwise, the guard is too loose.

Just looking around downstairs, there is no one on the roof. How is this like what a regular army should be?

There are only bandits, who are unorganized and undisciplined, and it's pretty good to be able to put on a show.

Tang Tianxing stayed on the roof of Lichun Courtyard for a while, listened with his ears sideways for a while, and finally confirmed the location of the master.

In fact, it is not difficult to determine.

In the entire Lichun courtyard, there was only one place where the sound of singing, dancing and teasing could be heard.

The head of the house is doing quite well, it seems that the entire Lichun Courtyard is taken over by him, and only he is the guest.

This...is really good.

Tang Tianxing slowly moved to directly above the place where the sound came from, and lifted the tiles. His movements were very light and gentle, and did not disturb the people in the room.

So, through the light in the house, he saw a luxuriously furnished room below. There was a big round table in the middle of the room. A burly man with his chest hair bare was glowing red, with one arm around a young woman, Laughing loudly and looking smug.

"Master...would you like to drink two more glasses?"

The two young women kept persuading the big man to drink, and the big man seemed to have a lot of wine, so if you come for a drink, everyone will always come.

Tang Tianxing glanced again, but saw that there was no one else present in the room except these three people.

For him, this is simply a godsend opportunity.

He wasn't in a hurry, and slowly worked on the roof. The tiles were lifted one by one, until a hole for him to fall was exposed, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
