Chapter 16 Blood Sacrifice This night, many people were destined to toss and turn.
Early the next morning, Zhu Chongjiu's personal regiment leader Xu Hongsan, together with more than fifty guards, buried Sesame Li in a golden nanmu coffin made overnight.
He was carried to the side hall of the only Mingjiao temple in Huai'an City, and his body was laid to rest for seven days according to the sect's rules, so that Mingjiao masters and disciples could chant sutras and be saved.
Autumn has just begun and the weather is still very hot.
Therefore, Xu Hongsan specially sent people to bring ice cubes and wooden basins from the gunpowder workshop, making the huge side hall as cool as an ice cave.
Despite this, Zhao Junyong and others were still very angry that Zhu Chongjiu did not come to Zhizhi Li Shouling in person.
As soon as Xu Hongsan led the guards away, he immediately pulled Peng Da to a basin of ice and whispered in a low voice: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to go to the young marshal yourself?
Why haven't you left yet?
Don't talk to Brother Zhu anymore."
Say hello, you see he is too busy to even show his face, how can he have time to care about what you are doing in private?"
"You think I want to wait for him?"
Peng Da is not only big, but also has a bad temper and a loud voice.
He immediately raised his eyes and shouted angrily, "I went to the dock yesterday to look for a boat.
The bastard named Chang who was in charge of the water division actually said that all civilian ships had been dispatched.
If you want to use warships, besides He will not listen to anyone except Butcher Zhu’s order.”
"Didn't you tell him that you were looking for the young marshal?"
Zhao Junyong frowned, deliberately pretending to be confused.
"How could you not say it?"
Peng Da punched the temple pillar, shaking the temple beams to the ground.
"But it has to work.
Chang is only willing to pay for Zhu Butcher's account.
No matter how much we talked about it, Lezi and I refused to even give him a sampan."
"Damn it," Zhao Jun cursed in a low voice, holding his neck in a gesture of indignation.
"Lao Peng, don't worry.
I'll go to the Huai'an Army's meeting hall with you later to block him.
I don't believe it.
Brother Li just left, and he dared not even care about the young marshal's life or death."
"I'm not going.
It's like I asked him to go."
Peng Qiqi filled his chest and curled his lips in response, "I, Old Peng, will be waiting for him in the chief steward's mourning hall today.
Ask him in front of the chief steward. , will he send a ship?"
"He won't come.
After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the first army and has to take care of hundreds of thousands of people."
Zhao Junyong quickly looked around, and his voice seemed to have inadvertently turned higher.
"What kind of trouble could he have?"
Not only Peng Da, but also several other old people who had followed Sesame Li in Xiao County were also so angry that their eyes were burning.
"The Tatar warships were destroyed by him a long time ago.
He still had the strength to cross the river.
He clearly didn't want to show up on purpose.
Fortunately, the chief steward still passed the mantle to him."
"If he dares not come today, I will lead the troops to catch him."
Pan Lezi just walked in with a livid face.
After hearing what everyone said, he immediately said with bared teeth and claws.
"Yes, go catch him.
Pull him out and ask him what he means.

The chief executive just died yesterday, and he dared to be so evil today."
Everyone was already simmering with anger, but when they were aroused by Pan Lezi's words, they immediately rolled up their arms and sleeves, vowing to tell the difference between right and wrong with Butcher Zhu.
"If you want to go, go quickly.
Anyone who doesn't go is a coward and a bastard."
While the shouting was getting louder, a shout suddenly came from my ears.
"If you don't have the guts, don't make a fuss here.
This is a mourning hall, not his grandma's theater."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their angry eyes to the speaker.
I saw Ding Dexing, the commander of Sesame Li's personal soldiers, holding his hand on the handle of the knife, looking at everyone without fear, his face like a black pot full of disdain.
"Heiding, what do you mean?
Are you planning to change the court even though the head general's body is still cold?"
Everyone felt guilty at the sight of him, jumping on their feet and accusing loudly.
"You still know that the body of the General Manager is still cold?"
Ding Dexing, the commander of the personal soldiers who was called Hei Ding, glanced at everyone and continued to sneer, "Yesterday, in front of the General Manager, who promised to only follow General Zhu's lead in the future?
Just now Close your eyes and you just want to eat back what you said, so you are not afraid of his old man The spirit of the family is looking for you in the middle of the night.
If you have the ability to withstand the 300,000 troops outside, you have become a lost dog.
Instead of thinking about how to help General Manager Zhu fight against the Mongols, you will actually stab him in the back.
If you let Tuotuo hit you, who of you can guarantee that you will end up well?"
"You, you" everyone's face turned pale after being scolded, they raised their hands, pointed at Ding Dexing's nose, and stammered in retort, "I, we just, we just can't stand it, we can't stand the coldness of the surnamed Zhu.
Who, who I want to stab him in the back."
"If he was cool, he wouldn't have risked being bombarded by artillery to go to Mangdang Mountain to save us."
Ding Dexing slapped the fingers that were stretched out in front of his eyes away, and continued to curse loudly, "As long as you pretend not to be found, "People, in less than three days, we will be so hungry that we can't even lift weapons.
By then, Wang Baobao will kill them all with one knife.
It will save us the trouble of wasting other people's food in Huai'an City now."
"You, you, you" Everyone was speechless by him, breathing heavily.
Although they are not convinced that Zhu Chongjiu has taken over the mantle of Sesame Li, no one can deny that the lives of everyone present were saved by Manager Zhu.
If Butcher Zhu had really harbored evil intentions, he could have used Wang Baobao's hand to cut them all off.
Then he used the banner of revenge for Sesame Li to regain the lost ground.
Xuzhou, Suzhou, and Mengcheng were all naturally captured by the Huai'an Army.
It was much easier than taking over the seal from Zhima Li now.
At least, a bunch of dead people can't stand here and squeak.
"Mr.
Zhu provides us with food, drinks, and supplies for the brothers below.
Let's not be shameless."
Seeing that everyone's arrogance was knocked down by him, Ding Dexing paused and continued, "Don't He said that the chief steward had already given the seal to him before he died.
If he hadn't given it to him, would any of you be able to hold on to it with the two men in your hands?"
These few words were said so directly, without any concealment.
If everyone pissed off Butcher Zhu at this moment, it would trigger a fight within the Red Scarf Army.
All the remaining defeated troops under their respective armies combined were no match for any of Huai'an's five new armies.
And Zhu Chongjiu didn't need to find many reasons at all if he wanted to kill them.
The presence of a formidable enemy who confuses the morale of the troops is enough to chop off all of their heads.
Immediately, several of the "old people" who had shouted the loudest before became completely mute.
He shrank his body behind a pillar, fearing that others would remember his face.
Although Zhao Junyong, Peng Da and Pan Lezi were still unwilling to give in, the confidence they had in making trouble before was completely based on the belief that Zhu Chongjiu would not dare to turn against him and kill someone.
At this moment, hearing Ding Dexing's harsh words, I immediately didn't dare to gamble anymore.

Gritting their teeth, they looked at each other and murmured in a low voice, "I'm waiting, I'm just waiting to get together to vent because I'm feeling sad.
In the face of a formidable enemy, who will really cause trouble for Manager Zhu?
Hei Ding, you have the ability." , just go to Manager Zhu and expose us and see if he will give you an official position."
"Since I have made my words clear, I will not be that villain."
Ding Dexing glared at Zhao Junyong and responded loudly, "But you can do your own thing.
Even clay figures have a rustic temper.
It really made Manager Zhu anxious.
Got it , even if he doesn't do it for the sake of the chief manager, he only needs to drive you and others out of Huai'an City and cut off the food and grass.
Who has the ability to prevent someone from having his head stolen?
Cut it off.
My surname, Ding Dexing, is yours.
After that, he pushed the handle of the knife hard and walked away.
"You, you" All the elders were so angry that they squinted their mouths and squinted their eyes, but no one had the courage to say any more nonsense.
"Brother Ding, brother Ding, walk slowly."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Junyong quickly chased after him a few steps and grabbed Ding Dexing's sleeve from behind, "Brother Ding, where are you going?"
"Of course I should report to General Manager Zhu, and then follow his orders."
Ding Dexing shook off Zhao Jun's hand with a hundred and twenty disgust in his heart.
"Yesterday before the chief manager died, Ding promised him that from now on, only Mr.
Zhu will follow his lead.
Others can swallow their words as nonsense, but Ding knows that he is a man, and his words come out as if they were white.
Dye soap" "Everyone, everyone in the army is too sad and confused."
Zhao Junyong blushed at the comment and explained sarcastically.
"Ding just listened to everyone talking, but he was very organized," Ding Dexing responded with a sneer, and continued to stride toward the council hall.
He has more than a thousand soldiers in his hands, all of whom are first-rate elites.
If they all go to the Huai'an Army, others will have no hope of making a comeback.
Thinking of this section, Zhao Junyong hurriedly chased a few more steps and begged Ken in a low voice, "Brother Ding, Brother Ding, listen to me.
Some things can't be done too hastily.
Look more, maybe, not necessarily.
Wrong.
Maybe, maybe, you can see the good and bad of people, so that everyone will not regret having no place to buy medicine in the future."
"Look, what are you looking at to see us scheming?
Ding has no interest in that."
Ding Dexing glared at Zhao Junyong fiercely, and once again distanced the two sides.
"Zhao, you'd better put your little thoughts away.
You're not the only smart person in this world.
It's just that he has a big heart and doesn't want to be serious with you.
Otherwise, Zhao's head would have been hung on the city wall long ago.
Make sure no one complains on your behalf."
"You, you, you don't believe me.
At least, at least wait until the chief manager has passed the first seven days."
Zhao Junyong scolded him so much that he did not dare to pursue him anymore.
He stood on the same spot and shouted loudly, "At least, let him fulfill the oath he made yesterday afternoon. .
Otherwise, you can swallow whatever he says in front of the chief steward.
How can anyone guarantee how he will treat us in the future?"
"Isn't it just the head of a Tatar general?"

Ding Dexing looked back at Zhao Junyong and curled his lips in disdain.
"Ding will get it for Manager Zhu.
Even if it doesn't work, Ding will just die on the other side.
It's better than seeing your face again":
