In front of Qi Ci Square, several generals were riding on horses, looking at Shopkeeper Li, as well as at the guards inside and at the tied-up General Chen and other soldiers.
The leader was a general in his forties with a short beard. His silver armor shone brightly in the firelight. Next to him was Weishenghou Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling whispered in his ear: "Uncle,
It’s this group of people who hide weapons secretly and intend to cause chaos. You still don’t believe it, but now you’ve seen it, they even dare to tie up officers and soldiers.”
The leading general is Zhang Ling's uncle, Weiyuan General Zhang Lei. As a veteran general of the Wu Kingdom, he has always been a close confidant of the King of Wu and is in charge of Jinling's defense. He knows his nephew's character in his heart.
He said that Qi Ci Fang secretly hid weapons and had evil intentions, but he didn't mean it at all. However, Zhang Ling became more entangled and ordered one of his generals, Chen Qiyang, to bring a sentry over to take a look.
Chen Qiyang has always been in charge of this generation's patrol, and he is also acquainted with Shopkeeper Li of Qi Ci Fang, and is often awarded privately by Shopkeeper Li. When he accepted the order, he was originally going to go through the motions, but Zhang Ling followed him and told him to do Qi Ci Fang's job well.
He arrested several women in Qi Ci Fang for the crime. Chen Qiyang knew that Zhang Ling was thinking of serving the public good for personal gain. It was clear that he was investigating Qi Ci Fang for causing rebellion, but in fact he was targeting their family members, but in General Zhang's case
Under the rule, they had no choice but to obey Zhang Ling's orders, thinking of catching a few female relatives and replying to the request. But unexpectedly, shopkeeper Li suddenly changed his face and took action to counterattack Chen Qiyang and more than a dozen of his soldiers.
Zhang Ling was overjoyed when he got the news, and quickly asked his uncle to come to quell the chaos. Zhang Lei was also shocked when he heard that the people from Qi Ci Fang actually captured his own soldiers. This was in the capital of Wu State, at the feet of King Wu.
There was an attack on the soldiers, so it was okay. Zhang Lei ordered five hundred soldiers and rushed over. Now I saw that it was indeed as Zhang Ling said, the people from Qi Ci Fang captured Chen Qiyang and more than a dozen soldiers.
The soldiers were in the store, confronting the soldiers outside.
Zhang Lei frowned, pointed at Shopkeeper Li and said, "Bold maniac, do you want to rebel? Why don't you let General Chen go quickly?"
When Li Zhong saw that it was the general who had come in person, he also looked solemn and walked out of the store, meeting Li first. When Li Zhong saw Zhang Ling whispering in front of Zhang Lei, and what Chen Qiyang said to him when he came, he naturally understood that it was
Zhang Ling was up to no good. So he said:
"General, it's not that we all want to rebel against you, it's that you have gone too far! The prince next to you knows what he has done. As a general, you don't investigate the matter, so you send someone to me.
We have no choice but to arrest people in the store. We can't become fish meat and let others slaughter us. We have no choice but to protect ourselves."
The neighbors in the distance also echoed, especially some Qi people, who naturally helped and shouted loudly. When they made such a fuss, it was not like this, but it was just like this. The people on the street were all bullied by the officers and soldiers.
Zhang Lei was troubled when he heard this, and he shouted loudly, which was like thunder on the ground, scaring the people into silence. The ears of Zhang Ling and others around him were buzzing.
Li Zhong also retreated to the front of the store and looked at Zhang Lei coldly. He knew that Zhang Lei's lion roar came from Buddhist skills. He didn't have such skill after more than ten or twenty years of cultivation. It seemed that Zhang Lei didn't have such skill.
This general is not a loser.
After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he said to Li Zhong: "Let General Chen go quickly, and all of you Qi Ci Fang will take him back to the General's Mansion to await trial."
"I will obey my orders against all odds. I, the dozens of people in Qi Ci Fang, will not be arrested by you for no reason. We have a lot of blood on our bodies, and we are not lacking in courage. So many shouts can't scare us. I don't believe this Wu
The country belongs to your Zhang family, and there is no national law in the Wu Kingdom. We will take this General Chen and wait to go to the King of Wu with you."
Zhang Lei sneered a few times: "Arrogant and unruly people, you can meet the King of Wu whenever you ask. This country of Wu is not my Zhang family's world, but if you are in the territory of Wu country, I, Zhang Lei, can still catch you."
After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he waved his hand, and two generals got off their horses and walked towards Shopkeeper Li. When they were a few steps away from Shopkeeper Li, they suddenly jumped up and reached out to grab Shopkeeper Li's arms. Shopkeeper Li
On one side of his body, he ducked back. He stretched out his hand and put it on the arm of a general. When he turned back, he twisted the general's arm behind his back and locked his throat with his other hand.
When the two generals dismounted, only one of them faced each other, and one of them was captured by Li Zhong. The other took a stance, but was afraid that Li Zhong would grab his own throat and did not dare to step forward.
Zhang Lei saw that his men had a bad start, and one of his men was captured by Qi Ci Fang. He couldn't help being furious, and jumped from his horse to rescue Li Zhong. Li Zhong had been careful with Zhang Lei, and saw him rushing towards him.
, sent the Wu general in his hand upwards, and threw it towards Zhang Lei's fist.
Zhang Lei wanted to injure shopkeeper Li with one punch and then snatch his subordinates back. He flew up and punched Li Zhong, but he never thought that Li Zhong would throw his subordinates as weapons. Zhang Lei was in the air and could not hold back his move.
, he could only withdraw the force of his fist. Even so, he punched the general, and there was only a muffled sound, and the general fell to the ground. Zhang Lei also fell down, and looked at the lying general, who was already vomiting.
Xue Xue was struggling to get up and crawl toward the large group of people. The general who had come with him had already come over and helped him, and the cannon fodder was in the formation.
Li Zhong didn't stop him, he just looked at Zhang Lei. He saw from Zhang Lei's punch that Zhang Lei's hand was very skilled, and he also had murderous intent.
Seeing that his men had dragged away the injured general, Zhang Lei no longer worried and punched Li Zhong. Although Li Zhong was now the manager of a porcelain shop, he always had a smile on his face when he saw everyone. But he was making this porcelain.
In front of the shopkeeper is a famous thief in Qi State, known as the Smiling Tiger. The more he wants to kill someone, the friendlier he smiles to people. I don’t know how many people were confused by his smiling face. They relaxed their vigilance and fell into his trap.
subordinates.
Now when he saw Zhang Lei's punch coming, he didn't take it hard and dodged it to the side. Zhang Lei's fist was so fierce that he missed a hit and swept it across with another variation. Li Zhong still dodged to the side. The two of them started to fight.
They were entangled back and forth. The two of them were fighting with each move, but in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, it was as fast as lightning. Everyone could only feel the figures shaking in front of them, but they could not distinguish their moves. They only knew that Silver
The one with the shining light is General Zhang, and the one with the gray figure is Shopkeeper Li.
Not long after the fight, the two men suddenly separated. Li Zhong was covering his left shoulder; Zhang Lei was covering his lower abdomen. Just now, Zhang Lei punched Li Zhong on the shoulder, and Li Zhong's right fist also hit Zhang Lei's lower abdomen. Two
The people were looking at each other a few feet apart.
Zhang Lei took a few deep breaths, stood up straight, and said to Li Zhong: "I didn't expect that a small Qi Ci Fang could have a master like you. I underestimated you. It seems like what Ling'er said, you are hiding some secrets here.
." After speaking, he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Come here, the archers are ready, let me shoot this thief with random arrows."
At this time, King Wuyou walked out of the store, with Lu Zheng standing next to him. King Wuyou was not angry but happy, and asked Zhang Lei: "This general is so brave and powerful. In this place where civilians live, he just wants to hurt people with bows and arrows.
Aren’t you afraid of hurting innocent people?”
Zhang Lei was stunned by what King Wuyou said. He also saw that the young man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. So he asked: "Are you also from Qi Ci Fang?"
"That's right, I'm the boss here. Just talk to me about the Qi Porcelain Factory, and don't embarrass others." King Wuyou walked to Shopkeeper Li, patted him on the back, and motioned him to come to the store.
Go. But Li Zhong let go of his hands on his shoulders, straightened his back and stood on the other side of King Wuyou. Seeing that he refused to go back, King Wuyou smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Lei raised his hand to stop the archers behind him who were about to shoot, and asked in a cold voice: "You are the owner of Qi Ci Fang, so you know that Qi Ci Fang secretly hid weapons and attacked and killed Wu's soldiers, and committed great treason."
A capital crime!"
King Wuyou raised his head slightly and asked with a smile: "Can you see the hidden weapons? The guys from my shop don't come to your country of Wu to do business every day. Have they ever done anything wrong in their daily lives? Why are you so big?
As soon as the general comes, dozens of people in my little shop will be punished with death."
When King Wuyou saw what Zhang Lei was about to say, he did not allow him to say anything, and continued to accuse him: "It is a crime to commit adultery. The government has taken the evidence, taken the prisoner, and interrogated him carefully. The evidence is conclusive. No one can kill or preserve it."
No complaints. But if you mobilize troops like this, fight with open fire, and shoot with random arrows without any reason, I think you are a general who is more powerful than the king."
Zhang Lei was speechless for a moment when he was asked, but Zhang Ling behind him dismounted and walked up, pointing his finger at Wuyou Wang and saying: "Don't keep your words, I said you have ordnance hidden in this store, what's the matter? If not, why don't you wait for us
After a search, General Chen was captured and threatened. Now that General Wang is injured and lying here, you still dare to quibble."
Li Zhong laughed first after hearing this and said: "It's really funny. The lying general you mentioned was injured by someone unknown. If you want to arrest that person, just arrest the person in front of you.
"
The crowd around also burst into laughter.
Zhang Lei glared at Zhang Ling fiercely and said angrily: "I don't care what Qi Ci Fang's excuses are today. All the people in Qi Ci Fang must be arrested by me and interrogated overnight. If it is confirmed,
Evidence of guilt, beheaded immediately."
"The general has such great authority and a powerful tone. I don't know whether to use the dozens of people in Qi Ci Square, or what." King Wuyou asked teasingly.
Before Zhang Lei could say anything, Zhang Ling hurriedly said: "And those women in your shop, take them too."
King Wuyou couldn't help but look ugly, and he asked Zhang Ling in a gloomy voice: "You think it's okay for us people to carry weapons with us on a daily basis, but how about slandering a few girls?"
"Hmph, I think they are both male and female. They must have some conspiracy, and they must be captured and searched carefully!" Zhang Lingyu said with no shame as he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
King Wuyou turned his eyes and stared at Zhang Lei and asked: "Does the general mean this too?"
Zhang Lei was already riding a tiger, and when his nephew made such a fuss, he vaguely agreed, "Take them all and take them back for search."
"I'm afraid you can't see the women in this shop just by asking, let alone search them. You can't check our Qi Porcelain Shop just by asking, as a general. Since you have such thoughts, today I just want to check them.
I'm afraid that once I come, I won't be able to leave." King Wuyou said coldly and bitterly.
Zhang Lei was stunned when he heard this. Although he was arrogant, he had been in the officialdom for a long time. His mind suddenly changed and he thought secretly: Qi Cifang might have some entanglements with the princes and ministers of Qi State. Our Wu State has been showing goodwill to Qi State recently.
The king of Wu married the princess to the prince of Qi. Moreover, the queen of Qi was from Wu. Could it be that this young man was related to the queen of Qi?
Zhang Lei was still secretly surprised, but Zhang Ling could no longer hold back. He jumped forward and shouted at King Wuyou: "You Qi thief, today in my country of Wu, do you still want to rebel? You are the prince of Qi country."
, I will also demolish your shop and arrest your women. The guilty ones will be beheaded, and the innocent ones will be taken over by me. What can anyone do?"
Before Zhang Ling finished speaking, he saw a group of black things coming from the tree on one side and hitting him. Before Zhang Ling could pay attention, Zhang Lei had already seen it, stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Ling, and kicked him at the same time.
There was only a muffled grunt from that black object, but it turned out to be a person. Zhang Lei kicked him in the waist and fell to the ground. Zhang Lei was also shocked by the man's attack and took two steps back before he stopped.
At this moment, a slender young man stood in front of Zhang Ling. He reached out and pinched Zhang Ling's neck and lifted his feet off the ground. Zhang Ling's whole body twitched, but he was unable to resist at all.
King Ashoka said to the young man: "Things like this that are inferior to pigs and dogs do not need to stay in the world."
This young man was Peng Yunzhan. He caught the young man who seemed to be from the Tang Sect in the middle of Shu in the distance, and took him to hide in a tree to watch. Hearing Zhang Ling's rude words, he directly smashed the man down. Seeing that he was
Zhang Lei kicked it away and then jumped in front of Zhang Ling. According to King Wuyou, Zhang Ling died as soon as he exerted force on his hand. Peng Yunzhan threw Zhang Ling's body in front of Zhang Lei and stared at him.
Zhang Lei was stared at by Peng Yunzhan, and he trembled for no reason. He lowered his head and looked at his nephew again. He was already dead. He was frightened and angry for a while, and shouted, "You bold maniac, how dare you kill a high official of the imperial court."
, It’s really a crime that cannot be punished, someone will shoot me to death with random arrows.”
He was shouting loudly and ordering his soldiers to fire arrows. King Wuyou was also angry from his heart, and his hatred grew in his guts. He said to Lu Zheng: "Capture this thief, but anyone who dares to raise a bow, give it to me."
kill."
The archers of the Wu army received the military order. Some of them quickly raised their bows and were about to nock an arrow, but they saw a sharp arrow in their chests. Some of them felt that they could not breathe smoothly.
A dozen archers fell to the ground instantly. Zhang Lei was still waiting for the soldiers to open their bows and fire arrows, but saw that Peng Yunzhan had arrived. Before he could react, his throat was locked and he fell to the ground.
Lu Zheng led two waiters forward, put a knife on his neck, pushed him into the store and tied him up.
Those Wu troops were confused and stood there at a loss.
King Wuyou pointed at these Wu troops and said: "You are just doing military orders. I will not kill you. Get out of here if you bring these damn things. If anyone comes to make trouble in my Qi porcelain workshop, no one will be left alive."
