"Haha, I'm late. I'm sorry. I've met the governor. Haha, hello, No. 1 Scholar."
Wang Jixiang dismounted, smiled and gave Dong Shixiang a fist salute, and then looked at Li Zhen with a kind face.
Dong Shixiang nodded and said nothing, but looked at Li Zhen from the corner of his eyes, wanting to know how Li Zhen would react.
To everyone's surprise, Li Zhen didn't gnash his teeth or show off his face. Seeing Wang Jixiang greeting him, he also smiled: "If I guess correctly, this is the Princess Wang of Jiahe County, right?"
Wang Jixiang was stunned, and he was a little unsure of Li Zhen's attitude. The two had met before. Zhang Meng led troops to exterminate the Yanziji horse thieves, and there was a man like Li Zhen in the horse team. When they returned without success, Wang Jixiang said that he would keep Li Zhen.
But now Li Zhen's reaction was like meeting him for the first time, which made Wang Jixiang difficult to figure out what kind of attitude Li Zhen had.
"Hahaha, it's me. As expected, I am the number one scholar in Kyushu. Heroes come from young."
Li Zhen smiled and nodded, pointed at Yan Ziji and said: "I want to destroy the horse thieves who have a blood feud with me here. This group of horse thieves robbed the candidates and killed a classmate who was on par with me in academics. Teacher. Among the people killed, there was one who was also a talent of the empire. Alas, what a pity. By the way, this place belongs to Jiahe County, does Mr. Wang have any objections?"
Wang Jixiang felt a chill in his heart and his pupils shrank, he was just secretly surprised by how profound the top scholar was.
Nothing can be seen in one sentence, but it is full of soft knives. In one sentence, two big holes have been dug. As long as you enter any one of them, you will be doomed.
Is this the art of speaking
Even Dong Shixiang was holding his breath and concentrating, not even daring to get angry. I secretly prayed in my heart that Wang Jixiang wouldn't be too stupid. If Li Zhen accidentally got him into a trap with two words, Wang Jixiang would definitely not be able to bear the consequences, and maybe even himself would be implicated.
Fortunately, Wang Jixiang was born in Balong City since he was a child. He is a top figure among the dandy children. He suddenly thought about it and said seriously: "It is the common responsibility of everyone in the world to exterminate horse thieves. Every citizen of Kyushu has an unshirkable obligation. I How can you have an opinion?"
Li Zhen laughed, mounted his horse, turned around and shouted to the Imperial Guards: "Did you hear that? Now the princess of Jiahe County has righteously exterminated her relatives and allowed us to catch the horse thieves. Why are you standing still? Go up the mountain to capture the thieves and capture them all alive."
Wang Jixiang's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile: "What the No. 1 scholar said is wrong. What does it mean to kill relatives out of justice? It's as if I have something to do with a horse thief."
Li Zhen also sneered: "This place, Yanziji, does belong to Jiahe County. They are all the people of Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang allows us to kill the horse thieves. If this is not a righteous act, what is it? Mr. Wang is so generous and tolerant. I can’t bear it, I’m so broad-minded.”
Wang Jixiang's back was covered in cold sweat. No, he tried to guard against it, but he still failed to guard against it. If Li Zhen said these words, they were not planned in advance, even if he beat Wang Jixiang to death, he would not believe it.
The old sow wears a hood, one set after another. Chain buckle.
"Ah...hehehe, right?"
Wang Jixiang didn't dare to answer. You have no way to refute this sentence.
Li Zhen sneered and murmured in his heart, doesn't this reveal a flaw? Okay, this is just the first level.
"superior!"
"Seize the horse thief."
"The No. 1 Scholar order, capture them all alive."
“…”
The leader of the Forbidden Army shouted loudly, and the thousand Forbidden Army stopped surrounding them and turned into a torrent and charged away along the road up the mountain.
Dong Shixiang turned around and shouted: "More than 13,000 people are surrounding Yanziji. We are not allowed to let anyone go, not even a fly."
The banner army sent an order, and more than 13,000 regular army soldiers dispersed immediately. Completely surrounded the entire Yanziji.
Just now more than a thousand imperial troops surrounded Yanziji, but they were sparse. But at this time, more than 10,000 regular troops surrounded Yanziji, which was called overwhelming. Literally, no fly can fly out.
Li Zhen sat on the horse with a smile, watching the torrent rushing up to Yanziji, and the sound of shouting and killing could be heard.
Wang Jixiang looked at Li Zhen's back, forced himself to smile, clenched his fists tightly, and swallowed it into his stomach with his teeth broken.
Mingkang stood in the corner, silently watching all this, and sighed in his heart:
In the first round, Li Zhen had the upper hand.
Mingkang was really surprised. He only thought that this number one scholar was very good at studying and had the spirit of a scholar. But as he got more and more involved, he felt that it wasn't that simple at all.
This champion's scheming, skill, and courage far exceeded his imagination.
He can compete with the old man in the officialdom and the governor of the southeastern state, and he is on par with him, neither arrogant nor humble, and can speak openly and secretly clearly and fluently.
Being able to compete with the second generation ancestor who came from the capital and whose political IQ was extremely advanced, he had the upper hand. One cliché followed another, completely trapping Wang Jixiang to the point where he couldn't even run away.
Mingkang somewhat understood why Li Zhen came to suppress the bandits but why he did not attack and why he had to wait.
Li Zhen not only wants to suppress bandits, he also wants to uproot the entire Jiahe County.
This matter is difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky. But Li Zhen can use a soft knife to saw off bit by bit, which is more painful than uprooting.
He wanted to completely stick the evidence of the Yanziji horse thief to Wang Jixiang's body like a tarsal maggot, making it impossible for him to shake it off.
Wang Jixiang also understood this. He knew that Li Zhen wanted to force the horse thief matter to stick to him. But Wang Jixiang... has no solution.
You can't be tough on Li Zhen, even the governor of Southeast Prefecture wouldn't dare. Putting the identity of the number one scholar aside for the first time, the main reason is that Li Zhen has a holy purpose. This is the root cause. Who dares to delay the emperor's summons? Only Li Zhen himself dared.
Later, Wang Jixiang discovered that he was no match for Li Zhen, which gave him a headache.
In Yanziji, the horse thief was completely panicked and panicked.
"The boss is in trouble. What should I do?"
"The Huangpu Army surrounded Yanziji, and they couldn't escape even if they jumped off the cliff."
"Those Forbidden Forces are rushing forward. They also have muskets. There is no way we can be their opponent."
"What should I do, Master?"
“…”
The headmaster was also so frightened that the hair on his body stood up, and the blood all over his body ran cold: "This... call all the brothers and fight with them."
Fight
The horse thief smiled bitterly in his heart, fighting the imperial army? Are you fighting with the government? We are horse thieves, not traitors.
When a horse thief dies, he dies alone. When a traitor dies, a whole family dies. Who could be that stupid
At this time, the first batch of forbidden troops stepped into the stronghold. The leader of the forbidden troops looked at the horse thieves in the yard through the fence, with only disdain in their eyes.
'噌' draws the knife.
'Pfft' the knife fell.
The gleaming sword struck directly through the crack in the door. It was so precise that it penetrated the crack and broke the wooden door bolt inside. The broken door bolt was like a mirror.
"ah!"
The horse thieves all over the yard were scared to death.
"What kind of sword technique is this!"
"With such great strength, he can even break the door bolt?"
“…”
Strong and sharp.
An alloy knife created by the magic machine of Eight Dragon City. The Royal Palace Forbidden Army trained in the Eight Dragon City Forbidden Army Camp, VS, the rusty iron swords with curled blades everywhere, and the team of horse thieves formed by the brave gangsters from nearby towns.
Who has the upper hand
"Surrender without killing!"
The Imperial Guards quickly rushed into the gate of the undefended cottage and shouted loudly.
The sound of horse thieves crying and shouting rang out, and all the horse thieves in the yard quickly took off their clothes with great experience. Then he lay on the ground holding his head.
In the distance, the horse thieves hiding in houses, mountains, and dense forests were also afraid of missing this opportunity. He rushed out crying, took off his clothes and pants while running, and then lay on the ground holding his head.
In an instant, the whole yard was filled with people, and all the horse thieves were lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, not daring to move or look.
In front of the hall door, seven or eight shirtless men looked at all this, with an extremely gray look in their eyes.
They were different from these scrawny, malnourished horse thieves. Each of these seven or eight big men was fat and strong, with sharp eyes, and they looked like they were well-trained.
"They want to capture them alive..."
"Is it the No. 1 scholar who wants to dig out his boss?"
"It seems to me that we cannot be captured alive."
“…”
Muttering to himself in horror, the headmaster glared hard, suddenly pulled out the knife in his hand, and roared: "Living is a punishment!"
After saying that, he suddenly thrust the knife into his neck.
Several other moments woke up, yes, living is a suffering. They all said that they would capture him and others alive, and the consequences were self-evident. When you are being interrogated, there are many ways to pry your mouth open. The suffering has been great.
There was a loud bang, startling everyone.
But they saw a large cloud of gunpowder smoke coming out of the Forbidden Army. One of the Forbidden Soldiers was holding a blunderbuss in one hand and silently blew away the smoke in front of him.
"ah!"
The headmaster roared, and his whole body was sent flying a meter or two away. A bloody hole appeared on his right chest, and his alveoli were injured. For just a moment, the entire right side of his body lost consciousness. The hand holding the knife softened.
A steel shot the size of a thumb got stuck in the shoulder blade of his back, but did not penetrate him.
While the others were stunned, a dozen Imperial Guards rushed over like wolves and tigers, and knocked them all down without any explanation. They were not given any chance to resist.
By the time they recovered from the loud noise of the firecrackers, their hands had been tied, and their mouths had been blocked with clothes and cloth to prevent them from biting their tongues.
'Woooooo'
whined.
They knew it was over.
If the Imperial Guards in the capital say they should be captured alive, they will be captured alive. Even if one person commits suicide, it would be a great insult to them.
