The crown prince's foundation is still shallow, and the Duke of the Four Regions only believes that the Western Regions are loyal to him. Unexpectedly, Zhong Youyu was the first to openly rebel!
"Bastard!" The prince kicked over the table in front of him, and the pen and ink cup shattered to the ground, "Zhou Kang!"
"The minister is here." Zhou Kang, the original imperial guard, has now been promoted to the deputy commander of the Habayashi Army. Because the younger sister was carried into the East Palace as a concubine, the status of the whole family has also risen.
"You lead the troops to intercept Zhong Youyu, seize all the food and grass, and bring him back to Beijing alone. If you don't resist, you will be shot!" The prince said through gritted teeth, his fists clenched.
Looting the granary at the pass is no different from conspiracy.
"Yes!" Zhou Kang replied in a cold tone. Even if he lowered his brows and lowered his head on his narrow forehead, it couldn't hide his fierce three-white eyes.
Zhou Kang took the order to go, and Zhou Liangyuan came from the apse. She didn't wear a black robe today, but only wore an ordinary palace dress, which looked more gentle than before.
"The great witch has sent news that the Marquis of Cutting Lu is in Shen Lou's barracks. Your Highness might as well call him back in the name of the emperor. He is the son of a saint... um..." Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhou was suddenly caught by the crown prince. The neck suddenly became silent. The whole person was lifted by him with one hand, gradually only the toes were left touching the ground, and the legs and feet twitched involuntarily.
"Don't play Gu as a fool. Gu and your big witch are just for mutual benefit. They are not his followers, let alone his pawns! If you don't want to be troubled again, Gu will destroy the barbarians first!" Feng Zhang looked at her struggling coldly. After finishing speaking every single word, he threw the blue-faced Zhou Shi to the ground with his hands.
"Cough, cough..." Zhou fell on the ground and coughed, and it took him a long time to recover. He squinted at the prince's feet, and lowered his head to hide the look of resentment on his face.
The chariots and horses loaded with grain and grass couldn't move fast. Seeing that they were about to catch up with the Northern Territory army in one day's journey, they got the news that Zhou Kang was coming. Zhong Youyu was very annoyed, "If there were two of us, one could deal with him, and the other would run away with food. Now, it's really inconvenient."
Zhong Wumo: "..."
Zhong Youyu: "Say something, why don't you talk anymore, why didn't you realize that you talk so little before. Now I can't see you, and I can't find you if you don't talk."
Zhong Wumo: "There is a way."
Zhou Kang, with five hundred light cavalry, quickly caught up with Zhong Youyu's team, but there was no food and grass. Only Zhong Youyu and dozens of soldiers were having a barbecue together.
"Hey, Commander Zhou, what brought you here?" Zhong Youyu was dressed in white, and sat on the floor in an unremarkable manner. She didn't get up when she saw Zhou Kanglai, and held up a branch with roasted rabbits on it, and tore it hard. , "This meat is too old."
"This subordinate came here on the order of the crown prince, and I also asked Mr. Su Guogong to deliver the grain and grass looted from Luoyang, and return to the palace with this subordinate." Zhou Kang gestured to the two Habayashi soldiers following him to find food and grass.
The army is away, and there is not enough troops in the capital. The crown prince only gave Zhou Kang less than ten monks, and the rest were all ordinary soldiers. And beside Zhong Youyu, there were very few Xiu soldiers, and no one could destroy anyone.
After looking at each other, Zhong Youyu grabbed Zhou Kang's shoulders, pulled him aside, and chattered like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube: "It's not because I am willing to rob the granary, but because I was forced by Shen Lou. Look at me Does it look like a rebel? Like? Obviously not! I have been close to the prince since childhood, and I will not oppose anyone. These soldiers are all from the Northern Territory, and there are a few masters among them. I can't help myself. Now that Commander Zhou is here, he can just save me from fire and water. You see, the road over there is the direction where grain and grass are transported. After a while, we pretend to fight and you catch me. , let’s chase food and grass over there together.”
With that said, he pointed to the road to the west.
Zhou Kang looked at him suspiciously.
Zhong Youyu sighed, "Well, to tell you the truth, the three thousand elite soldiers were divided into two groups, one to the east and the other to the west, and they have traveled for a long time. The ones on the west are real food, and the ones on the east are fake. Shen Louding The trick is to ask me to lead you to the east."
Zhou Kang got on his horse, "Let's go."
"Wait until I finish eating." Zhong Youyu picked up the rabbit again unhurriedly.
Zhou Kang pulled out his spirit sword with a swipe, and cut off the branch of the skewered meat, "The Duke wants to eat it, so he can eat it when he returns to Beijing."
"Do you dare to draw your sword at me?" Zhong Youyu suddenly changed his face, pulled out his spirit sword and rushed towards Zhou Kang in an instant. His spiritual power is not as good as Zhou Kang's, so he preemptively strikes at those three white eyes.
Zhou Kang leaned back to dodge, slid a foot away in a kneeling position on his knees, turned over and jumped up, ready to fight back. But he found that Zhong Youyu had already fled to the west with the sword, and immediately stepped on the spirit sword to give chase, and it took him a while to stop him. At this moment, the light cavalry he brought has been thrown far away.
In order to guard against fraud, after Zhou Kang restrained Zhong Youyu, he waited for his cavalry in place. There were 3,000 soldiers escorting the grain and grass, and I don't know how many monks there were. Mao Maoran went after him alone, fearing that he would be pierced into a sieve by the spirit sword, so he had to bring his soldiers with him.
Stopping and walking, Zhong Youyu needed to urinate for a while and drink water for a while, which delayed a lot of time. The two Habayashi soldiers who went to look for food came back and whispered to Zhou Kang: "There are two roads, one is to the west and the other is to the east."
Just as he was speaking, Zhong Youyu took advantage of his unpreparedness and ran away with the sword again.
"Thirty miles ahead is where the food and grass are," said the Habayashi Army who reported the message, "There are thousands of people."
Zhou Kang gritted his teeth, clamped the horse's belly and whipped it hard, and led the cavalry to chase Zhong Youyu away.
No matter how fast the horse was, it couldn't catch up with the spirit sword, and Zhong Youyu disappeared after a while. After bypassing a lonely mountain, they saw a large group of people pushing grain and grass.
Zhong Wumo, who was dressed in black, was riding on a horse, looking at the person with a blank expression on his face.
"Su Guogong!" Zhou Kang chased after gnashing his teeth.
A spirit sword with black spikes flew in the air and blocked Zhou Kang's face. It was Zhong Wumo's natal spirit sword "Yanxi".
Zhong Wumo said in a deep voice: "Who is it? Stop!"
Startled, Zhou Kang carefully looked at the person on the horse. The brothers of the Zhong family are identical in birth, but anyone who has met them will not admit their mistake, probably because the two people's temperaments are too different, and they can be distinguished from their expressions.
"Second Young Master, why are you here?" Zhou Kang looked around, and there was no sign of Zhong Youyu on the grassland.
"Brother Ling, go back to the Western Regions." Zhong Wumo had a debt-seeking face, no matter what he said, it seemed that someone owed him money, and he was confident.
Zhou Kang drew his sword and lifted the cloth covering a carriage, revealing a cart of green grass covered with dirt, which was obviously pulled out randomly along the way. Gululu, a stone rolled out of the green grass and fell on Zhou Kang's horse's hoof.
be cheated! The food and grass are in the east, and Zhong Youyu has already gone east with his sword.
Zhou Kang gritted his teeth, turned around and left. The prince ordered him to arrest Su Guogong, but he didn't say that he wanted to arrest Zhong Wumo. The top priority is to catch up with Zhong Youyu and Liangcao immediately, otherwise they will go to Shen Lou's barracks.
Hundreds of people followed Zhou Kang and headed east. Dust and smoke billowed and disappeared behind the lonely mountain in a short time.
Zhong Wumo took back the spirit sword, took out the white shirt from the horse pocket and put it on again. The grassland is windy and cold, so wear thicker clothes to save energy. The soldiers threw away all the grass and rocks covering the car, revealing the white grain inside.
Set off and quickly run to Yinshan Mountain.
"Hahahahaha, that idiot, by the time he catches up to the chariots and horses in the east, the day lily will be cold." Zhong Youyu smiled happily, took out her spirit sword "Zhuoxi" from the horse pocket, and hung it on the waist.
Zhong Wumo didn't respond.
"My brother is so brave and resourceful, why didn't he see it before?" Zhong Youyu pinched his face.
Zhong Wumo patted the hand pinching his face away, letting him hold on to the rein, "Let's go."
The two teams were going in opposite directions, Zhou Kang worked hard for half a day, and finally caught up with the team to the east, but Zhong Youyu was still missing. The so-called "grain and grass" trucks are full of large pieces of soil with turf.
Zhou Kang was short of breath, ordered all the monks, and jumped onto the flying sword, "You follow me!"
"Too bad, Zhou Kang is catching up!" Less than twenty li away from the barracks, seeing the victory was in sight, but saw a few flashes of spiritual light rushing towards him like arrows leaving the string.
Zhong Youyu drew his sword and ordered the food and grass to go first, while he and a few monks stayed behind to fight.
"The prince has an order. Su Guogong conspired against him, and he will be killed without pardon!" Zhou Kang swung his head with a shining long sword, obviously mad with anger, and did not give Zhong Youyu a chance to argue.
Zhong Youyu held "Zhuo Xi" in his left hand and "Inkstone Xi" in his right hand. The two swords crossed and firmly held against Zhou Kang's sword.
It was less than a year since the last hunting in Xianchi, such a short period of time was not enough for the Zhong brothers to improve much. The gap between the young man and the champion of martial arts is still there. Even with two swords, the spiritual power is still the spiritual power of one person, and he is still not Zhou Kang's opponent.
"Xiao Mo, we can't beat him, I'll count one, two, three, let's run."
As soon as the word "run" landed, Zhong Wumo had already taken over his body, jumped on the spirit sword and ran away quickly.
Zhong Youyu was taken aback, and let his younger brother control the spirit sword, while he yelled loudly: "Help!"
A dazzling spiritual light shot out from the camp, and the sound of the huge arrow piercing through the air was like the north wind in winter, screaming and shooting Zhou Kang right through. Zhou Kang avoided the critical point at the critical moment, but the arrow was too fast and too heavy, breaking his collarbone and flying him more than ten feet away, and was firmly nailed to a small slope.
At the same time, Lin Xin stepped on the Yanggu sword and galloped out. Before Zhou Kang could break free, he raised the hook swallowing scimitar and cut off his head with a "click".
Everything happened too fast, and there was no time for an instant. By the time the Zhong brothers saw the situation clearly, Zhou Kang was already dead and could not die anymore.
Lin Xin threw off the blood on the scimitar and died so swiftly, it was really an advantage for this turtle. If it wasn't for the tension of the war, he would have crippled Zhou Kang's spiritual power, starved him for three days, and then threw him on the battlefield, so that he could repay everything that Feng Chong suffered in his previous life.
Putting the knife back into its sheath, he glanced at Zhong Youyu who opened his mouth wide, "It's really useless."
Shen Yingying held a mulberry arc bow and ran over to pick up the arrows. Her big arrows are all unique, embedded with small pieces of deer glass, which cannot be discarded. Pulling out the arrow, he made faces at the fit brothers, "It's really useless."
