Yanziji, on the top of the mountain.
'Dullululu, duuluuluulu'
An extremely rapid chant sounded. On the top of the mountain, more than a hundred horse thieves in a village woke up.
"who?"
"Who's blowing the trumpet?"
"what happened?"
"Didn't I say that you can only blow this kind of trumpet after encountering extremely urgent danger?"
“…”
The new head of Yanziji was working on a woman's belly. When he heard the chant, he almost shivered and went in. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes and pants and ran out: "What's wrong? What happened?"
The horse thieves were so frightened that they howled like ghosts and ran over and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are regular troops, tens of thousands of them. They have surrounded the entire Yanziji."
"Tens of thousands of people!"
The eldest master almost collapsed to the ground with fear. He quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and he saw murderous cavalry everywhere in the canyon. Who knows how many people there are? Just looking at the people walking around, maybe there are tens of thousands, right
"What... what's going on? How could this happen?"
The big boss sat slumped on the ground, wondering in his heart. Could it be that the young master wanted to destroy Yanziji in advance? Could it be that the young master wanted to abandon me early in order to avoid getting involved
"impossible."
"How could this be possible..."
“…”
"The boss is Li Zhen!"
Li Zhen!
They were no strangers to this name. He was the only one who escaped from Yanziji alive, and he was the only one who could not be recaptured despite losing his troops and generals. The only person who escaped was admitted to the first prize. They knew that they would never be able to avenge the dead horse thief in this life.
he came
The eldest master sighed and sat down on the ground weakly. I didn't expect him to come back. Really, I didn't expect that the first thing he would do after he was admitted to the top prize was not to go to the capital to report, but to come to Yanziji for revenge.
After all, the emperor’s order comes first. Who in the world dares to disobey the emperor’s order
Even if you have a big deal, you have to go to the capital to meet the emperor first before talking about it. Who would have thought that Li Zhen ignored the emperor's order and turned back halfway to take revenge
The headmaster sighed sadly, looking at the cavalry standing scattered in the canyon, and seeing that the road down the mountain had been blocked by cavalry, he knew in his heart that unless he had a pair of wings, he would never be able to escape. The only way to die.
"When will they attack?"
"They had no offense."
"What?"
“…”
The Ming official frowned and asked: "Since we have been surrounded, there are indeed horse thieves on the mountain. Why are we besieging but not attacking?"
Li Zhen smiled: "Waiting for someone."
"Who are you waiting for?"
"witness."
"Witness your revenge?"
"No, witness the hatred of a person who speaks lightly, can it swallow him up."
The Mingguan people were stunned for a moment, a person who talks lightly? Does he mean Li Zhen himself? Do others speak lightly
'Rumble'
A moment later, the sound of iron hoofbeats sounded in the direction of Jiahe County, and they saw a continuous line of black-armored soldiers approaching on horseback from the distance.
When Yanziji came to the top, the boss quickly ran over to take a look. He thought it was Wang Jixiang who had come to save him. Not really.
The waving flag says 'Huangpu'
This is a serious garrison in the Southeast State. All of them are real soldiers who have killed and shed blood. They are people who have been on the battlefield.
There are over 10,000 people, and heaven and earth are connected.
At this time, looking from the top of the mountain, the headmaster saw that the sky and the earth were connected in a line, just like a black cloud. There was no sound in the silence, only a neat and incomparable 'rumbling' sound.
Coming from the yellow sand sky, heading straight towards Yanziji.
The horse thieves in Yanziji had never seen such a huge battle before. All the horse thieves on the top of the mountain stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the armor that was like a ray of sky coming from a distance, and they were scared out of their wits.
"How...why are there so many people."
"Dead, dead, dead this time."
"I, this... shall we surrender?"
“…”
All the horse thieves were panicked.
Although we often talk about "having a big scar on my head after falling off a bowl", when this day comes, no one is not afraid.
Maybe some people really aren't afraid of death. But it doesn't mean that there is no nerve of fear. Looking at the overwhelming regular army surrounding them, the murderous aura is enough to make one's legs weak. No matter how unafraid of death, no one will have the courage to face these more than 10,000 soldiers who have experienced the battlefield.
The big boss collapsed on the ground. Before, he had been hoping that his master Wang Jixiang would come to save him. But when I saw the "Huangpu Army" coming in overwhelming numbers, I gave up all hope.
The champion took action with the imperial army, and the governor of the southeastern state also brought troops and horses to support. Wang Jixiang, the princess of Jiahe County, even if he was given ten courages, would he still dare to show his face
"Stop!"
Yanzijizhong. The spreading imperial army gathered together and guarded the entrance of Yanziji nervously, waiting solemnly to watch the more than 10,000 soldiers rushing towards them.
They are also a little guilty.
Although it is the forbidden army in the capital, there are only more than a thousand people. And this is the regular army of Southeast State, with more than 10,000 people. It's not as simple as a 10:1 ratio.
The leader, Dong Shixiang, wore a black official robe and pulled the reins.
The flag soldiers beside him quickly waved their battle flags and told the soldiers to stop through flag language.
Ten thousand soldiers were coming fiercely, but the sound of stopping was pitiful, and there was basically no sound. After everyone stood still, silence fell.
Dong Shixiang looked at the Imperial Guards with cold eyebrows and shouted loudly: "I heard that the number one scholar was passing through, Dong Shixiang, governor of Southeast Prefecture, came to escort him."
Although Dong Shixiang is informal, he is indeed a good person. As the governor of Southeast Prefecture, how could he not know about the relationship between Yanziji horse thieves and Jiahe County? If he really didn't know, he would have failed miserably as a state governor.
But since Wang Jixiang's father was in Balong City, Dong Shixiang could only give him three points of noodles. I also knew in my heart that Wang Jixiang was not really trying to become a horse thief, but was just a thorn in the side of the new official.
But this time, Dong Shixiang felt it was time to lose his car and save his handsome man. Is it better to tout an unprecedented No. 1 pick, or to risk the heavens to help a gold-plated second-generation ancestor have a bright future? Dong Shixiang can think of this dialectical problem with his toes.
Since we want to follow the general trend, we must send Buddha to the end.
face? OK, enough.
help? OK, help thoroughly.
Since you have chosen to take a side, then you must stand by Li Zhen's side completely. As for Wang Jixiang, he wouldn't dare to give him face today. He couldn't say anything.
The Imperial Guards whispered for a moment, then quickly turned around to make the announcement.
Li Zhen heard the report from the Forbidden Army that the governor of Southeast Prefecture had arrived with troops and horses. He looked a little flattered in his eyes and quickly drove his horse to greet him:
"I don't know that the governor of the state has arrived, and Li Zhen, one of the subjects under his rule, has saluted you."
Li Zhen dismounted and bowed to Dong Shixiang.
Dong Shixiang nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you go to Zhongzhou? Why did you come back?"
Li Zhen said: "Come and take revenge."
"Oh? What grudge?"
"A bloody feud."
"Where is the enemy?"
"Just above Yanziji, there is a group of horse thieves with a very strong background."
"Have horse thieves hurt you?"
"The horse thief once killed the classmates who came with me to take the exam, as well as all the teachers. More than ten people and more than ten horses were buried here because of me. If this revenge is not avenged, I will not be able to live in peace, and I also ask the governor to allow me to be my classmate and mentor. Revenge and restore innocence to the world."
Dong Shixiang was stunned for a long time, and he was surprised when Li Zhen answered. If we follow the standard rhetoric, Li Zhen should have said how evil horse thieves are and how harmful they are to the people. By the way, horse thieves have killed his classmates and teachers.
Yes, that’s just cliché. What he said was high-sounding and beautiful, and what he said made everyone think that Li Zhen wanted to selflessly eliminate harm for the people.
But Li Zhen kept saying emphatically that this was his personal enmity. I just mentioned Lang Lang Qiankun in passing.
This made Dong Shixiang ponder a little. He knew that the number one scholar who could be read by the emperor himself would not be a pedantic person who has no brains. But... I can't decide what Li Zhen thinks.
Could it be. Is his personal hatred greater than the emperor's summons? The only thing that can surpass the emperor's summons is to make decisions for the people, shouldn't it? Shouldn't it be to eliminate harm for the people? At least, it sounds nice to say it...
In Li Zhen's eyes, there is no such thing as a message from the emperor or a high-sounding one.
In his eyes, this is a personal vendetta. It has nothing to do with the peace and prosperity of the country, the country, and the people.
This is me who has taken on the dreams of more than a dozen people and fought for a just private revenge for those more than ten people.
Dong Shixiang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Since he is a horse thief, he should eliminate harm for the people. He should bring justice to this bright world. Li Zhen, today more than 13,000 Huangpu troops are at your disposal, no matter how many Yanziji there are Horse thieves, kill as many as you want. They are all the ones who deserve to be killed."
Li Zhen took a deep look at Dong Shixiang, nodded, and stood aside.
There was silence for a minute. Dong Shixiang wondered why Li Zhen hadn't taken action yet
"What are you waiting for?"
Li Zhen looked at the yellow sand in the distance, where more than ten riders were coming from the dust, and laughed loudly: "Of course I'm waiting for the master of Yanziji!"
Dong Shixiang looked back, his pupils shrank, and he quickly reminded: "This is the Lord of Jiahe County."
Li Zhen smiled and asked, "Isn't Yanziji under the jurisdiction of Jiahe County?"
"Forehead… "
Dong Shixiang choked and was speechless.
The official Mingkang stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching the confrontation between Li Zhen and Dong Shixiang with a smile. Listening to the two people's overt and covert words, he secretly thought in his heart: This number one scholar has once again impressed me.
