Chapter 9, Surprise Attack
Dismembered into thousands of pieces
This is taking away our livelihood; without food to eat and clothes to wear, we will either starve to death, freeze to death, or be killed by them
Please, Lord Tang, avenge my husband Sun Wang, avenge him
Some people simply do not wish to see us live well. Last night, a robber brazenly broke in, attempting to steal our food and clothing
The bodies of the two deceased servants were laid on the door panel in front, while their wives and children clung to the corpses, crying out in a heart-wrenching manner.
This one hundred taels of silver, Master Tang, please keep it for us first; we will come to retrieve it when we need it
Quickly carry him into the tent for bandaging and treatment, " said Tang Wen, who was busy for quite a while before finishing the bandaging
"My lord, we have sustained injuries to five or six of our men," said Zhang Dongwen.
At that time, even if the second group of people attacks us
In addition, this body had originally trained in martial arts for ten years, complemented by a lightweight special synthetic fiber bulletproof vest, which was provided to him by Luo Jun
Tang Ling quickly donned the saber and went out with the bow and arrows
Tang Wen was a renowned medical expert in his previous life, but he was also an enthusiastic military aficionado, having been invited by the International Special Forces Headquarters to serve as a battlefield doctor
He wore a face of deep sorrow and bowed three times towards the corpse, saying, "You sold yourselves to the Tang family for just one day and have already met with foul play. Rest assured, I, Tang Wen, will definitely avenge you."
"You are right, our people cannot die in vain. We must unite as one; whoever tries to take our jobs, we will fight them to the end," Zhao said, waving his fist
After speaking, Tang Wen walked over and gently helped their wives up, saying, "They died for my Tang family, and my Tang family will never mistreat you. Junru, bring over the silver."
... ...
"I just chased for over 10 miles and did not find any boats," Zhao Du said
There is none of that." Bu Feng shook his head and said
We have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live. We no longer have to go hungry, suffer from the cold, or sleep on the ground
Zhao exerted considerable effort to tear at it for a while, but the barbed wire only became slightly deformed, leaving everyone astonished.
One can easily discern who belongs to their own group and who is an intruder
"Did you see the ship?" Tang Wen asked
However, the last time when I sold my body, the performance of the iron lock was poor, which was due to long-term malnutrition and insufficient food intake
If the other party does not have the black-clad cannon, even having firearms would make it difficult to break in
We shall not accept a single penny; from now on, we will be the servants of the Tang family. We must seek revenge for our husband
"You are right! If we want to live well, we cannot allow their conspiracy to succeed!" Tang Wen shouted, then walked over to the two corpses.
In just a few minutes, four or five bandits fell under the short blade, while the remaining ten or so were so frightened that they quickly scattered and fled
The opponent strikes with a knife aimed at him, yet the *illustration* in the book shows that he remains unharmed, while with a single move, he can take your life
Certainly, the region of Chu has not yet invented such large pliers; otherwise, the role of the barbed wire would be significantly diminished
Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that it was done by someone else
However, two servants died due to excessive bleeding
If you are unwilling to continue residing in the Tang family home, I can arrange for a carriage to take you off the island
Master Tang, we will not leave; we wish to sell ourselves to the Tang family, including my children.
It is generally impossible, as pirates have ships and can certainly sail here, making it easy for them to escape when encountering officials. Of course, Koh Samui is not small, and we cannot rule out the possibility that they have hidden their ship somewhere.
"My lord, a group of unknown black-clad men is attacking. You must not go outside; my brother and the others are resisting them," said Zhang Junru, her face filled with urgency.
From now on, my family will all be servants of the Tang family
"My lord, tomorrow I will lead a group to search the entire Paradise Island and capture those who have escaped," Zhao Du said
Report to the authorities
Zhang Kui steadfastly defended the old lady's tent, while Li Quan stood guard in front of Tang Wen's tent
Therefore, he specifically targets those individuals who do not have any aura emanating from their heads
After all, it is impossible for these individuals to imagine the barbed wire fences and walls that exist along modern borders
At that time, it was required to train with them for a year, and I also participated in some tasks, which can be considered as having some experience
Treading lightly like a drifting willow, he weaved through the chaotic crowd like a ghost
Bind the wire mesh to the wood, completely enclosing our entire base, and leave a few people to guard the gate
"Having it will make things much easier. Then, every few dozen meters, we should build a wooden watchtower to facilitate both offense and defense," suggested Zhang Dongwen.
Then this will be our encampment said Zhao with a hearty laugh
Moreover, an additional ten dou of rice will be provided. Tang Wen gave the silver to the two widows
Although the moonlight at night is quite pleasant, the scene is too chaotic, as Zhan Dongwen and the guards are engaged in a fierce fight with a group of people
"The other side has lost ten, and the rest have all fled." After Tang Wen finished his tasks, Zhan Dongwen came over to speak.
After all, it is nighttime, and others find it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe; however, Tang Wen discovered a peculiar aspect.
Father, we will avenge you, avenge you! Master Tang... Immediately, all four children cried out in unison, and many people were wiping their tears
Sister-in-law, one hundred taels for each person, this is a small token of appreciation from the Tang family
At this moment, dozens of torches were lit up
There is no need for that at the moment, as we do not have enough personnel, and we cannot afford to be dispersed.
If this is how we defend ourselves, what will we do if they come again at night
"Who is the other party?" Tang Wen asked with a cold expression.
Tang Wen directly led them into the 'warehouse' to showcase his barbed wire, all made from thick wire, rolled into coils, and when unrolled, it measures over 4 meters in height
Fearing that the fields would be reclaimed by the Tang family, they would also resort to harsh measures. Tang Wen slightly shook her head
After finishing breakfast, Tang Wen gathered everyone in the open space in front of the tent
Kill them
"My lord, it would be best for us to assemble a group of archers. If we are surrounded by wooden fences, when someone attacks us, we can shoot them down with arrows," said Bufeng.
We cannot afford to be hurt, nor can we afford to die
"Will you be coming from the stone bridge?" Bu Feng asked
Zhan Junru approached slowly, holding a tray with two hundred taels of silver, her face filled with sorrow
Listen to Master Tang...
"It must be pirates!" said Bu Feng, another strong individual who had just joined the Tang family alongside Zhao Du.
At the very least, they must first get past this barbed wire barrier," said Tang Wen
Iron is too expensive; even the barracks where the soldiers reside cannot afford to use iron frames for defense. They often rely on wooden fences to encircle the area. Additionally, watchtowers are constructed, and personnel are assigned to stand guard and keep watch.
If a few more die, it is likely to scare away those who come to seek refuge with us," said Zhandong Wen with a worried expression.
Dear all, I, Tang Wenshi, have been serving porridge for a few days and have also welcomed you, my brothers and sisters
I, Zhou Xue, will repay the great kindness and virtue of Lord Tang by working tirelessly like an ox or a horse
Above the heads of the servants of the Tang family, there is always a certain aura of popularity, and this aura is particularly striking at night, as if it were a glow that can be seen from a distance.
Master Tang is our provider, we listen to Master Tang!" Zhan Dongwen waved his hand and shouted, providing a timely assist
Tomorrow we need to strengthen our defenses. I have brought back a batch of barbed wire, and tomorrow I will arrange for some people to cut down a few trees to insert them into the ground
Another family member knelt down, holding onto Tang Wen's other thigh, and cried out in anguish
Unable to find anything; apart from their weapons and clothing, there is nothing on them that can prove their identity said Zhang Dongwen, shaking his head
This person possesses the strength of the Ninth Rank, while Zhao, among the current servants of the Tang family, has the highest level of power, which should be at the peak of the Ninth Rank.
These individuals have committed heinous crimes; what do you think should be done about it?" Tang Wenyiao stood upright, asking loudly.
As long as there is food to eat, he will be able to regain his strength after a few days of recuperation
"My lord, I caught two of them; I killed one. I originally intended to capture one alive, but unfortunately, he jumped into the sea and escaped." At this moment, Zhao Du ran back, panting heavily.
Suddenly, the crowd was filled with excitement
Do not worry, I will take care of them. If anyone attacks the tent, you can take them down with your bow and arrows" said Tang Wen
For example, those who have seized the land of the Tang family.
The deceased's family member, Tian Xiuer, knelt down and tightly embraced Tang Wen's thigh, crying out.
Everyone, quiet!" Tang Wen pressed his hand down, and immediately, the noisy sounds ceased once again
"My lord, you cannot go," Li Quan quickly blocked Tang Wen as he emerged from the tent.
