"My lord! My lord! It's not good, it's not good..." Several city defenders fled into it in panic, shouting in panic.
The noise of several people made all the officials working in the mansion poke their heads out one after another. Zhong Zizuo, the prefect of Fengzhou who was working, frowned, glanced at the outer hall, and said:
"What's going on?"
The subordinate officials immediately walked out quickly, and a moment later ran in with the panicked soldiers.
"Sir, it's not good! Some rebels killed our uncle and have now broken into the city!"
Suddenly, the expressions of the officials in the hall changed drastically.
"Why are they rebelling again? The Shao family is too courageous. They were just warned by His Highness King Qi, and yet they are doing this again, and they don't even know how to change their name!"
"Needless to say, who probably robbed his family's business. They wanted to kill people in the name of rebels to warn the merchants in the state not to think about robbing their business!"
"In the past, although the Shao family was domineering, they still had a sense of proportion. They always looked for opportunities outside the city to attack. But today they dare to enter the city, which is really too much! Lord Taishou, if we don't care about this matter, what will happen to our government office in the future?
Governing Fengzhou?"
The officials in the hall were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all turned to look at Zhong Zizuo, the leader of Fengzhou who raised his hand.
Zhong Zizuo, however, looked extremely calm. He pressed his palms to the officials in the hall and calmly said in a deep voice:
"There is no need to panic, I will personally take charge of this matter! These border army generals have gone too far and it is impossible not to teach them a lesson!"
After saying that, Zhong Zizuo stood up and walked out.
When a group of officials saw this, they couldn't help but stepped forward to dissuade them:
"This matter needs to be taken care of, but what if the rebels don't know what to do and they hurt the prefect?"
"It's better to send a small official to negotiate. How about the rest of the matter, how about waiting for King Qi to return and then deal with it?"
Zhong Zi waved his sleeves, a righteous and awe-inspiring look appeared on his fair, plump face, and said firmly:
"If I sit back and watch the people suffer because of my own safety, how can I have the dignity to sit in the position of governor and replace the emperor's herdsmen? You don't need to persuade me, I can go alone! No matter how excessive the Shao family is, I don't dare to deal with it.
I'll do it!"
After saying that, Zhong Zizuo walked towards the outside of the government office without saying a word.
A group of officials wanted to catch up, but they also knew that their status was no better than Zhong Zizuo's, so there was no psychological burden for the rebels to attack them.
Therefore, everyone had no choice but to watch Zhong Zizuo's fearless figure with admiration in their eyes.
"General, general, general, the government office is over there..." One of the defeated soldiers who defended the city had a spear pressed against his neck and was so frightened that he trembled and cooperated.
Without saying a word, Xiao Cheng led the cavalry under his command and headed towards the government office.
But as soon as he arrived at the door, before Xiao Cheng could be surrounded by people, he saw a fair and fat man in official uniform hurriedly walking out of the government office.
The white and tender fat man raised his head and happened to see Xiao Cheng sitting upright on the horse. He looked around cautiously and then walked straight towards Xiao Cheng.
The general on the side frowned, stepped forward to protect Xiao Cheng, pointed his spear diagonally, and shouted sternly:
"What are you doing! Back off!"
Zhong Zizhuo frowned, impatiently pushed away the general's spear, and said:
"What are you doing? We don't know!"
Xiao Cheng looked at the fat white man who had no martial arts skills, his brows moved slightly, he patted the shoulder of the general in front of him and said:
"Let him come here!"
The general hesitated, but finally stepped aside and let Zhong Zi Zhuo over.
Zhong Zizuo walked up to Xiao Cheng and said with a hint of complaint:
"Why are you here at this time! Didn't you agree that it would be tonight at midnight? Oh, luckily I was prepared!"
After saying that, the fat man put his hand into his sleeve and groped for a while.
This move immediately made the general on the side become nervous. He raised his spear and shouted:
"What are you doing?"
Fatty Bai showed no fear at all, but instead frowned even more tightly. He took out a pamphlet from his sleeve, handed it to Xiao Cheng, and said dissatisfiedly:
"It's time for your subordinates to be properly trained! I've already said that they are one of our own, so show this virtue!"
Xiao Cheng looked at the fair and tender man who behaved rather strangely, and casually asked the general to retreat, and then passed the pamphlet directly.
When I opened it, I saw that there seemed to be records of more than a dozen families in this booklet, with their addresses and main members all recorded.
Zhong Zizhuo showed a ruthless look on his face and said:
"These are the families of those southwest frontier generals in Fengzhou City. King Qi should have told you before, just kill the rest..."
Halfway through his words, Zhong Zizuo suddenly frowned, looked at Xiao Cheng doubtfully, and said:
"Didn't I prepare the clothes and armor of Yun Kingdom soldiers for you before? Why didn't you put them on?"
Xiao Cheng looked at the fair and tender fat man with a suspicious look on his face, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled:
"I was in a hurry and didn't take care of it!"
From just a few words from this fat man, Xiao Cheng felt a myriad of thoughts in his heart.
King Qi’s instructions? Yun Jun’s armor?
Good guy, I don’t know who this King Qi is, but he has the courage to kill people in the name of Yun Jun!
Hearing Xiao Cheng's casual remarks, Zhong Zizuo had a look of displeasure on his face and scolded:
"Why are you so careless? If there is any negligence, His Highness King Qi will have to skin you... Hey, forget it, anyway, the Shao family always likes to let their private soldiers pretend to be rebels and kill people. I will recommend Fengzhou later.
There are so many rebels, no one can take the blame!"
A general next to Xiao Cheng looked at Zhong Zizuo talking to himself, and suddenly he couldn't hold it in, and burst out laughing with a "poof" sound.
Zhong Zizuo was stunned for a moment, frowned and said suspiciously:
"What is he laughing at?"
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips, forced down the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and explained:
"He remembered happy things!"
Several generals behind Xiao Cheng were infected by the laughter. They could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
"Pfft..."
"Hahaha……"
Zhong Zizhao became more and more suspicious, pointed at the people behind Xiao Cheng, and said:
"Do they also have something to be happy about?"
Perhaps by coincidence, at this time, billowing black smoke rose into the sky from the pier in the north of the city. The two hundred cavalry led by Diao Wenxuan had apparently set fire to the Xia army's grain and grass supplies piled on the pier.
Zhong Zizuo looked at the black smoke above the pier, his eyes widened, and he finally came to his senses and shouted:
"Aren't you from King Qi? Who are you!"
Xiao Cheng looked at Zhong Zizuo who was still a little confused, laughed twice, waved and said:
"Take it! This fat man knows a lot of things, take him with you!"
"Yes!" A cavalryman stepped forward, ignored Zhong Zizuo's struggle, picked him up and put him on the horse.
Zhong Zizuo twisted his fat body desperately and shouted:
"You, you are Yunjun! You are so brave!"
Xiao Cheng looked at the roster in his hand, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he laughed loudly and said:
"Let's go. Since we have a chance, let's help this King Qi! Come on, let's ransack the house!"
