Nangong Ming stood in the middle of the warring parties, with a pounding heart beneath his calm appearance.
It's so hurried, I really came at full speed!
If he hadn't wasted so much energy on the road, he could have killed more thieves, instead of just watching them retreat to form a formation in the distance.
Nangong Ming stood on the spot recovering his strength while observing the battlefield situation, and around his feet were the corpses of fallen thieves. Without exception, these people only had one fatal wound on their bodies. This shows that Nangong Ming's
The terrifying strength!
In the distance, Pixiu looked at the man who was dividing the battlefield by himself, his throat trembling and a mouthful of saliva went down his stomach.
"Envoy, it's that guy!"
Pixiu watched with cold eyes. Of course he knew that this was the person who had found his camp alone before. He also knew that this person was very powerful. Otherwise, how could he have the courage to come to him alone?
However, Pixiu had to admit that he didn't understand what the gap was until he saw this guy take action with his own eyes.
His current subordinates are not all rotten fish and shrimps from Lingzhou, but they have mobilized experts from the organization in neighboring states to ensure that the operation is foolproof.
But now it seems that masters are also divided into strong and weak ones!
The appearance of Nangong Ming undoubtedly saved Tang Hao's life at a critical moment. The battle situation recovered from the trough almost instantly. He seized this precious time to quickly regroup the team.
"Nangong, come and go together!"
Tang Hao mounted his horse and said urgently to Nangong Ming, but Nangong Ming was indifferent and just replied lightly.
"You go first, I will take the rear."
When these words came out, Tang Hao was stunned. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, withdraw!"
In Pixiu's view, Tang Haonangongming's ignoring his conversation was a bit disrespectful!
"Go! Leave this arrogant guy alone!"
What happened to the master? No matter how powerful the master is, he is only one person, but he has nearly a thousand people in his hands!
Forget about carrying out a sneak attack, now you still dare to brazenly say that he alone is the rear?
Under Pi Xiu's urging, the group of people who were frightened by Nangong Ming's superb martial arts moved forward quickly. After all, no one was stupid enough to take the initiative to die.
Seeing Tang Hao and his entourage drifting away, Pi Xiu was filled with anger and became increasingly dissatisfied with this group of men. After several consecutive orders, he still didn't see this group of people desperately besieging Nangong Ming. Instead, they were cowering and trying to let others go.
Be the first person.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nangong Ming appeared to be able to withstand the attacks of arrows, swords and guns with ease, and it really felt like one person was like a thousand troops!
Until Tang Hao was far away, Nangong Ming struck violently, scaring away the enemies in front of him, and then calmly dodged away with a graceful and unrestrained posture that made people sigh.
"Waste! A bunch of waste!"
Pi Xiu was trembling all over, and his anger could no longer be controlled. When he saw Nangong Ming leaving, he strode forward and cursed angrily.
But when he saw the resentment in the eyes of his subordinates, Pi Xiu was agitated and held back his anger. He realized that these people's dissatisfaction with him had accumulated to a certain extent. If he ordered them with force again, he would probably
The gain outweighs the loss.
Thinking of this, Pi Xiu reluctantly ordered a quick withdrawal, leaving only a mess on the ground.
There is a saying that God does not bring what he wishes. The more you think about something, the final result will often not satisfy you.
Chen Ping is like this now. He and Yang Anguo acted out a show of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and then assured the people that grain would be shipped from other states in the near future, in exchange for Lingzhou's temporary stability.
Of course, this stability is also relative.
Chen Ping is not dissatisfied. Who made it this far? Temporary stability can at least buy them some time, and that is enough.
It was just the news that came back from the Qianling Road Supervisory Censor that made his and Yang Anguo's expectations come to nothing. The two of them sat on their chairs with sad faces.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Adults are no better than students. You are the parent and official of Lingzhou. How can you be so depressed now?"
Chen Ping forced a smile on his face, breaking the suffocating silence.
Yang Anguo smiled bitterly, "I don't have the determination like you, so I can't blame myself for anything that happens in Lingzhou!"
Chen Ping was silent. He thought he was involved in this situation, but in the eyes of Yang Anguo and others, he was still an outsider after all.
After all, he still has no official status now, so what if he wins the Huiyuan? Even a small official in the six departments in the capital is more useful than him. Although the Huiyuan is good, it will take time to realize it.
Moreover, now that the imperial examination has been postponed and the emperor's life and death are uncertain, the realization time from fame to official status has been postponed.
Could it be that Lingzhou is really hopeless?
Does he want to watch Pi Xiu succeed and turn Lingzhou upside down?
Could it be...
All kinds of questions surfaced at this moment, filling Chen Ping's heart and making him extremely heartbroken.
During the battle between Chen Ping and Zhengtian, Yang Anguo stood up first and said to himself: "But, no matter what, we have to continue walking, and things have to continue to be resolved. I now regard this black gauze hat as nothing, but the people of Lingzhou
But I can't care about his life or death."
"As you said, if I give up, who will save Lingzhou?"
"If there is chaos in Lingzhou, Dali will be watching from outside and thieves will cause trouble in all directions. In this troubled autumn, the disaster in Lingzhou may spread to neighboring states and even the whole world!"
After hearing these words, Chen Ping suddenly became enlightened. His eyes became firm again, and he stood up and bowed to Yang Anguo.
"Your Excellency is righteous!"
Yang Anguo waved his hand and said indifferently to this false reputation, "You are very talented, so you should have a plan."
"Student..."
"I'll shoulder the responsibility for you. No matter whether it's possible or not, you'll do your best. You won't accomplish anything by looking forward and looking back! Show your confidence in the examination room!"
Chen Ping stopped talking after hearing this, nodded and began to re-examine the situation in Lingzhou.
The next morning.
"The closest place to Lingzhou is Qianzhou. The student happens to have made his fortune in Qianzhou. There are many classmates of the student in Jiangxia Academy. As long as these letters are sent, there will definitely be a response, but it will take some time. .."
Chen Ping knew that what Lingzhou lacked most now was time. Yang Anguo couldn't give him time, and Pi Xiu wouldn't give it to him!
"Okay, let me send it to you immediately. I will try my best to solve the time problem for you."
Yang Anguo didn't hesitate at all and agreed immediately.
Just when the two were still discussing something, there was a noise outside, and soon a clerk came striding over to report.
"My lord, my lord! Lord Zhizhou Tang is back injured!"
Zhizhou Yamen.
Tang Hao was lying on the bed with a face of pain. Only after hearing Doctor Miao's words did he realize how many injuries he had on his body.
"There were four arrow wounds and six knife wounds. The wounds have begun to rot. An ordinary person would have died long ago."
Doctor Miao stroked his long beard and sighed with emotion. He didn't understand why Tang Zhizhou wanted to lead the troops in person and take the lead in fighting the thieves. He really didn't hesitate to die.
"I just thought Doctor Miao was praising me, hiss! Pity my dead brother!"
The pale-faced Tang Hao was still holding on. Doctor Miao glanced at Yang Anguo for confirmation and immediately poured him a bowl of hemp powder. In less than half a stick of incense, Tang Hao tilted his head and became silent.
"Excuse me, Doctor Miao, Chen Ping, let's go out."
Yang Anguo greeted Chen Ping and walked out of the room. As soon as he went out, he saw Nangong Ming sitting on a stone bench cleaning his wounds.
"Brother Nangong, please tell us about this trip."
Chen Ping stepped forward and asked, but Nangong Ming didn't waste any words. He simply fell into Pixiu's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain and then drove all the way back. After catching a thief, he asked about Pixiu's intention to ambush Tang Hao, and finally rushed on the road in a frantic manner. Kan told the truth about arriving at the battlefield before Tang Hao was defeated.
"Trying the tiger away from the mountain and ambushing Tang Hao, really everything is missing!"
Yang Anguo sneered and murmured twice, while Chen Ping, who was sitting beside him, slowly spoke out after hearing the words.
"No, sir, he didn't count Brother Nangong... He didn't count that we could still persist!"
