Before the army left Jixiangfang, many civilians flocked to watch the Grand Marshal Zhang Xiaowu, blocking their way forward. Not to mention the Han people, people all over the world liked to join in the fun, and everyone came over to watch the famous names.
The ghost general Zhang Xiaowu caused the team to be blocked.
Zhang Xiaowu was also helpless. With the support of the people, he could not drive them away, so he moved forward slowly. On the contrary, the guards were nervous, fearing that someone would harm him secretly. When he arrived at the gate of Jixiangfang, he suddenly heard a scream,
Zhang Xiaowu raised his head and saw several figures coming from the gate of the square.
Jumped down and landed next to him. But Zhang Xiaowu dodged the knife, and the guards around him immediately rushed over to block the assassin. The assassin was in a hurry and wanted to rush up, but was knocked away by other guards with shields. The assassins immediately chopped him down.
He took the people and other guards away and fled like other places.
Wang Jing shouted: "Come here, protect me!"
The guards drew their weapons and surrounded Zhang Xiaowu tightly. The people fled in panic, and countless people were trampled and injured. Naturally, the several assassins could not cause much harm to Zhang Xiaowu, but they reminded him. Soon, everyone
Together they captured the assassin and brought him to Zhang Xiaowu.
Zhang Xiaowu looked at the assassin and thought he looked familiar, so he walked forward and asked, "Who are you?"
The man sneered and said, "It's a shame that my brothers were so nervous that they mistakenly spoke out and failed."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I have seen you, but I forgot where you were. I have a grudge against you?"
The man said: "I am Bian Zhong, the son of Bian Wen, a Xuanwu Knight!"
Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly. Burning Wuguan County and killing the Xuanwu Army were indeed one of the few acts against his will in his life, which also led to the slaughter of all the silver-clad guards. He looked at the text here and was silent for a moment.
He drew his sword and stepped forward. Bian Zhong snorted coldly, raised his head, and prepared to kill with his neck.
However, Zhang Xiaowu cut off his own hair and gave it to him. He said, "Are you leaving? Use this hair to pay tribute to your father. When you see him again in the underworld, he will beat, scold and insult you and never fight back. But today I can't be beaten."
Did you kill me? If I die, the country will be in chaos."
Bian Zhong was shocked and raised his head to look. He saw that Zhang Xiaowu had turned around and left. The soldiers of the Qinglong Army also walked around him and just glared at him with a murderous look. This look was very familiar. Bian Zhong's men also looked at Zhang Xiaowu like this.
Eyes.
Bian Zhong didn't understand? How could this executioner be worshiped and respected by others? Although he was released, his heart was still full of hatred. Several generals helped him up, and Bian Zhong said angrily: "Let's go."
"Sir? Are we still in Longdu City?"
"Why are you staying here? You can't kill him? Are you staying here to watch him become prime minister and take over all the power?" Bian Zhong said depressedly, "If he doesn't kill me, he is just playing cat and mouse, thinking that I am no threat to him.
Keeping me is a pleasure for him. Shall we go to Lingnan? Let’s go now.”
"Why go to Lingnan?"
"Go to Lingnan to find like-minded people."
"Continue the assassination?"
"Yes, continue the assassination!"
Bian Zhong's assassination did not affect Zhang Xiaowu's decision to enter the palace. He continued to move forward and passed through the main road. He saw many people looking at them with joy. The people still had fresh memories of Zhang Xiaowu's governance of Longdu City, and many people in Longdu City now
Are all the rules left by Zhang Xiaowu three years ago? Especially the commercial tax and garbage cleaning fees. The people are not opposed to the collection of these two fees. Especially the collection of garbage cleaning fees? It solves the problem of littering that has plagued Longdu City for many years in one fell swoop.
Phenomenon.
The people still have good memories of Zhang Xiaowu, especially since he was still so young and restrained his disciples from disturbing the people in Longdu. Almost all of Zhang Xiaowu's sources came from large slaughterhouses, which attracted people's support. Therefore, he entered Longdu.
On the second day of the capital, hundreds of thousands of people came to support them. Even the assassination that had just occurred did not affect everyone's enthusiasm. What attracted everyone's support the most was the fact that when Zhang Xiaowu was in power, the people had no banknotes.
The increase in issuance has made life difficult. Now in Longdu City, one penny can be exchanged for one hundred penny banknotes. The reason why the people look forward to Zhang Xiaowu returning to Longdu to govern the world is because they believe that Zhang Xiaowu will definitely be able to bring back three years to everyone.
The prosperous life before.
What attracted even more admiration from the common people was that Zhang Xiaowu led his army to drive away the barbarians who entered the Central Plains, becoming one of the few great heroes in the past three hundred years to take over the land of his homeland. The story of the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu was originally a story about the common people.
Legend, coupled with his meritorious contributions, he has simply become an absolute idol and god in the hearts of the people.
Zhang Xiaowu's men all looked proudly and proudly, as if this honor belonged to them. They couldn't help but secretly rejoice at how lucky they were to be able to become the apprentice of the Generalissimo.
Wang Yijin looked at these teenagers and couldn't help but smile, but Zhang Xiaowu suddenly waved to him and shouted: "One pound, come here."
"What is it, sir?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Don't go to the imperial city. There is another mission for you. Now you immediately send the second lady, third lady and Mang Zhong out of the city. I have arranged for Zhao Suo to wait ten miles outside the city. You can hand them over to
Zhao Suo, Zhao Suo will send them to Youzhou."
Wang Yijin asked curiously: "Why, sir?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I think the fight between me and Gu Yong will be cruel. I'm not afraid that he is as hard as iron, but I am afraid that he will be as soft as venom. So they will only stay here with me in fear. Youzhou is ours
Their lair, you send them to Youzhou to be safer."
Wang Yijin said: "Send it now?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, right now."
Wang Yijin said: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you were at home just now?"
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Because I can't say anything in front of them. I just reunited with them and I have to send them away again. Isn't it cruel?"
Wang Yijin said helplessly: "Sir, do you think it's not cruel to ask me to be the bad guy now? So you thought about how to arrange them before you went out? Are we all kept in the dark?"
Zhang Xiaowu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you know what your greatest advantage is?"
Wang Yijin asked: "Is he handsome?"
Zhang Xiaowu said solemnly: "No, your greatest advantage is that you are so shameless and confident. It is precisely because you are thick-skinned and not afraid of being scolded that I asked you to do this."
Wang Yijin said: "Sir, you are so refreshing and refined even when you curse."
Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "Go, go."
Wang Yijin turned around and left helplessly.
Everyone continued to move forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the Imperial City. The main entrance of the Imperial City was called the South Gate, also known as the Meridian Gate. At this moment, Wei Yuan led the imperial guards to greet them in front of the Meridian Gate. Beside them, there were three hundred people.
Wei Yuan, a strong man who was kneeling on the ground and being restrained, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Marquis, the three hundred murderers who massacred the two hundred and twenty-nine people in the Silver Guards are all here."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Where is Li Cunyi?"
Wei Yuandao: "Li Cunyi resigned in anger."
"Oh? Resigned?"
"Yes, he also swore that he would never serve the country again in this life."
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and sighed, walked up to the three hundred soldiers, looked at their faces that were stubbornly willing to die, stared at them for a long time, nodded and said: "Execute the order, the soldiers are there, you are not guilty, and you are forgiven."
After everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Zhang Xiaowu nodded to Xingminglou, and Xingminglou shouted: "The general said, I will pardon you, and you don't have to die."
The three hundred soldiers looked at each other in shock. Unexpectedly, they had escaped from death and were actually pardoned by their sworn enemy. They didn't understand what Zhang Xiaowu meant, let alone why he wanted to pardon his enemy.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be forgiven. You three hundred people, immediately go back to the army to pack up your luggage and gold and silver. Return home, marry and have children to serve my father and mother, and never serve in the army. Can you?
Do you promise me?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and then some people answered one after another. They suppressed the excitement in their hearts. At this time, they were very conflicted in their hearts. An hour ago, they wished to cut Zhang Xiaowu into thousands of pieces, and privately said that he would become a man in the future.
Even the evil spirits would not let Zhang Xiaowu go. But today, at this moment, they were at a loss as their enemies were trying to save their lives.
Zhang Xiaowu shouted: "Can you go home and stop serving as a soldier? Have you not eaten? Are you still afraid of me?"
"Yes!" Three hundred soldiers replied loudly in unison. Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, and the three hundred people immediately turned and left. They even looked back from time to time, trying to remember this "enemy" who had pardoned them.
Finally, a soldier couldn't help but turned around and asked: "Generalissimo, you don't want to take revenge?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "When is the time to retaliate? The country is so unfortunate, the population has dropped sharply, the people are in poverty, and the military is in decline. You are Han people, and Han people do not kill Han people."
After the three hundred soldiers disappeared, Wei Yuancai stepped forward and asked: "Master Hou, what - what do you mean? You don't want to kill them, but you want General Li to personally escort them to you for execution. Could it be that you want to
Make friends with General Lee?”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "On the contrary, I want to tell him that I can let him live, I can let him die, I can also make his life worse than death."
Wei Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhang Xiaowu was so deep in his thoughts. He suddenly became worried and was not sure that he would be able to kill Zhang Xiaowu. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, and groups of cavalry surrounded him from all directions. Wei Yuan stared intently.
When he saw it was the Qinglong Army, his arms trembled with fear. He managed to calm down and said with a smile: "Master Marquis, your army is here."
Zhang Xiaowu saw Shen Lindong from a distance, and Shen Lindong stepped forward and said, "Sir, Xia Ming went to the east gate, Ding Zhen went to the west gate, and Fu Ziyi went to the north gate."
"take over."
"Here."
The Qinglong Army quickly entered the imperial city, and Wei Yuan felt helpless. It seemed that he had underestimated Zhang Xiaowu and his caution after all. But fortunately, although the Qinglong Army took over the imperial city, they could not enter the harem. As long as Zhang Xiaowu was killed, then
Everything is easy to say.
"Open the door! Welcome the Generalissimo to court!"
"Open the door—welcome the Grand Marshal!"
"Sizzling——"
The five gates of the south gate of the imperial city are opened at the same time. This is the highest etiquette for welcoming ministers, symbolizing the unique and noble status. The five gates are opened at the same time, which also means that the transfer of power in the imperial city has begun now.
