Su Chen quickly came up with a plan. He coldly ordered, "Kill four patrolmen and change their clothes into theirs."
Upon hearing this, the three Death Warriors immediately nodded. Their skills far surpassed those of the patrolling men. After they left, they quickly returned with four corpses.
There was no blood on the four corpses, but there was a feeling of dislocation around their necks, indicating that they had been killed by having their necks broken.
Su Chen immediately picked out one of the smaller-sized clothes and put it on, but it still looked a bit too big on his thin frame, though thankfully it wasn't too noticeable.
The other three Death Warriors also got dressed and, led by Su Chen, stealthily headed towards another Town.
As for why it's done secretly, it's because if it's too blatant, it will definitely be easily noticed.
This outfit is just to distract the eye.
As he left, Su Chen, still under the roasted beef, smeared some ash on his face, then lowered his head slightly and followed behind the other three Death Warriors, trying his best to remain unnoticed.
Shuiyang Town.
Because this place is not far from the Capital of the Great Yu Dynasty, the Town is quite prosperous. As Su Chen and his companions walked down the street, the surrounding people cast respectful glances at them.
Under this worldview, ordinary people have a natural fear of officials.
Soon.
Su Chen then found a suitable target, a Courtyard that looked quite nice. It wasn't a wealthy family, but it was probably not an ordinary family in Shuiyang Town.
The four of them went to a secluded corner and waited quietly.
As evening fell, Su Chen summoned three more Death Warriors, bringing the total to Death Warriors. He said with a serious expression.
"Go in, take their Wife and Children to hold them hostage. Don't kill the important people, but you can kill the people who are in the way."
The six Death Warriors nodded silently, then scaled the wall over the Courtyard without making a sound. Su Chen silently approached the gate of the mansion and waited quietly.
After a while...
A Middle-aged Man jogged out, his face filled with fear. When he saw Su Chen, the fear in his eyes intensified.
"Please follow me, sir!"
Su Chen followed, walking deeper into the Inner Court Courtyard. Upon entering the innermost Courtyard, Su Chen smelled a faint stench of blood. He saw two guards and a Maid lying in pools of blood.
Two Death Warriors stood at the entrance, and four more Death Warriors were escorting thirteen people in the distance, including children and women.
They raised their knives, and the murderous intent in their eyes terrified the thirteen men.
The Middle-aged Man immediately knelt down before Su Chen, his face full of pleading. "Hero, spare my life! Please don't kill my Wife and Children. I'll give you anything you want, even all the wealth of the Ning Family, just please spare them."
Ning Zhou kept kowtowing to Su Chen, hoping to be forgiven.
Su Chen looked at him indifferently. "From today onwards, your Wife and Children will have to stay in the Inner Court. You'll have to figure out your own meals. If my whereabouts are exposed, they will all die."
If Ning Zhou showed indifference towards these people, Su Chen would choose to kill them all.
But now it seems that Ning Zhou values relationships quite a bit.
Ning Zhou nodded quickly. "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."
He didn't dare to look up at Su Chen, or rather, throughout the entire process, he intentionally or unintentionally avoided looking at Su Chen.
Despite this, he still guessed a lot.
These past two days, the imperial court announced that it would capture a serious criminal and even offer a reward of ten thousand taels of gold. At this time, the person suddenly appeared at the Ning Family and was not allowed to reveal his whereabouts. This basically explains the identity of the person in front of them.
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen spoke again, "I have one more request: you have to escort us out of Qi Province?"
Ning Zhou's expression immediately turned grim. His family were merchants, and they certainly had ways to help Su Chen leave Qi Province. The problem was, if they did that and were discovered, wouldn't they be considered accomplices?
He dared not challenge the Imperial Authority of the Great Yu Dynasty.
He glanced at his Wife and Children in the corner, and all his strength seemed to have been drained away. He gritted his teeth and said, "There is a way, but it may take a long time to prepare."
Su Chen's expression was cold. "I need three days to leave Qi Province."
He can't stay here for long, otherwise problems will inevitably arise sooner or later.
Ning Zhou's family was in Su Chen's hands, and he had no choice but to agree.
After leaving Ning Zhou, Su Chen went to a corner and summoned five more Death Warriors, bringing the total to Death Warriors. They were all highly skilled, capable of taking on five opponents at once, and quickly took over the entire Inner Court.
Ning Zhou told the rest of the Ning Family that things were not peaceful lately, so he specially invited Guard back.
The next day, at noon.
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have received 300 catties of pork.]
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have received 300 catties of fine salt.]
Salt!?
Su Chen's face lit up slightly, for salt was an extremely precious commodity in this era.
Another day Past.
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 40 Imperial Guard.]
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 101 Death Warriors.]
Imperial Guard?
Su Chen checked the detailed introduction and it seemed that the Imperial Guard were Special Forces were skilled in stealth and information gathering.
Without much hesitation, he released all forty of them, which immediately filled the entire Courtyard. These people were dressed in all sorts of clothes; some were fishermen, some were farmers, and some looked like merchants.
"You can discuss how to contact each other among yourselves. After I leave Qi Province, you will act as my eyes and ears, keeping me informed of the situation around me."
The Imperial Guard replied respectfully, "Yes, sir!"
Then, they gathered together to discuss the matter, and before long, they scaled the wall and left the Ning Family Courtyard, spreading out in all directions.
[Sign-In successful! Congratulations on receiving 500 jin of wheat.]
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations on receiving 200 Common Soldiers.]
Five hundred people.
Su Chen currently has five hundred men at his disposal, which is barely enough to protect himself. At least he can easily resolve any trouble he encounters.
However, in the heartland of the Great Yu Dynasty, once he encountered trouble, he might face a series of troubles, each one bigger than the last.
