The soldier turned over and dismounted and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty is waiting at the city gate!"
Zhang Zilu's expression changed slightly, "Is Liancheng personally waiting at the city gate?"
The soldier said solemnly: "Yes!"
Zhang Zilu pondered for a moment and said: "From now on, if you give orders to the whole army, everyone can only call me General Zhang. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" In the Northern Han Dynasty, there was only one emperor, and that was Liancheng!
"Yes!" Although the soldiers responded thunderously, a shadow had already been cast on their hearts!
Although I had a short stay in Northern Han Dynasty, I always felt like I had just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den!
Liancheng was now the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, but he condescended to greet Zhang Zilu at the city gate. He clearly showed that he had the world in mind and was courteous to the virtuous. This made Zhang Zilu, who was at the end of his rope, not only surrender to Liancheng with all his heart, but also
Is there a second way to choose?
Liancheng made the first move, but it directly blocked all Zhang Zilu's anger! Zhang Zilu had to admire, Liancheng's move was really brilliant!
The two thousand troops immediately marched straight towards Taiyuan!
Under the gate of Taiyuan City, Liancheng stands proudly wearing a dragon robe!
The attendants stood far away and could only see Liancheng's arrogant back!
They fear Liancheng like a tiger!
What Liancheng did is simply unbelievable!
He killed the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and sat on the throne himself. Not only did he not arouse resistance from the court officials, but he also received strong support from the Khitan! He secured the emperor's throne almost at lightning speed. He was so scheming and resourceful.
High, the tactics are so spicy that it is beyond the reach of others!
Some people say privately that Lian Cheng has a good life because he has a good father! General Lian left him a strong family background!
Now there are 3,000 Northwest Wolves in the army of the Northern Han Dynasty! Liancheng is now actively expanding its army and preparing for war, training an army of 100,000 people with great fanfare, making no secret of its ambition to recreate the glory of the Northwest Wolves!
Several civil servants and generals standing a few feet behind Liancheng stood up straight, not even daring to take a breath! For fear of offending Liancheng! Because Liancheng is moody!
Looking at Liancheng's arrogant back, some veterans couldn't help but feel filled with emotion!
People like Liancheng seem to be destined to be emperors!
In just a few years, he controlled the highest power of the Northern Han Dynasty! But old guys like me, wasted their time for decades but still fought to the death for the power that was so much bigger. In the end, they couldn't even become prime ministers!
Just when they were lamenting that they would never become prime minister in this life, Guo Wuwei, the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, was talking with several ministers in the prime minister's mansion.
Zhao Baole, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "I heard that Zhang Zilu, whom the emperor personally welcomed, is from the Western Shu Demonic Cult?"
Guo Wuwei said calmly and without expression: "What happened to the people in the Demon Cult?"
Dong Yushui, the Minister of Household Affairs, said: "I heard that the Demon Sect is secretive and does all kinds of evil. It has a very bad reputation. The world's martial arts regard it as a plague and avoid it for fear of not being able to do so!"
Guo Wuwei said calmly: "You mean our emperor ushered the plague into the Northern Han Dynasty?"
The expressions of the two ministers suddenly changed!
Zhao Baole said in a trembling voice: "Prime Minister, please stop joking. How dare we have such treasonous intentions?"
Dong Yushui said anxiously: "Yes, yes, I'm just making a metaphor, I definitely don't mean it!"
Guo Wuwei suddenly smiled lightly and looked meaningfully at the two important ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty who were nominally colleagues but actually subordinates, "Don't you know who our emperor is? He was during the Zhou Dynasty.
One of the four martial arts masters in the famous city, the founder of the Tianxing Sect, and the only son of General Lian. In the land of Sanqin, he can call the wind and rain! What scene have you not seen before? There is a reason why the emperor accepted Zhang Zilu! "
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Do you know the relationship between the Emperor and the Demon Cult?"
"This... I know a little bit about it, but I don't know much about it!" After all, they only care about military and national affairs, and rarely care about the rights and wrongs of the world!
"Let me tell you the truth! Without the support of the Demon Cult back then, the Emperor would not have been able to escape the disaster in Jingyang City! So the Emperor is only grateful to the Demon Cult! I would like to remind you that you must be careful when talking about the Demon Cult in the future.
, don’t offend the emperor!”
"Yes, yes! Thank you for reminding me, sir!"
"Besides, do you really think that the emperor sincerely accepts Zhang Zilu?"
Dong Yushui's eyes lit up and he said: "Let me tell you, the emperor will not be confused for a moment! People like Zhang Zilulian are born to be rebellious. They can even rebel against the place where their home base is, let alone me, the Northern Han Dynasty! So if the emperor is wary,
, we ministers can feel relieved!"
Zhao Baole asked humbly: "Sir, how will the emperor handle it?"
Guo Wuwei showed a sinister smile like an old fox, "Of course I want to stabilize the morale of the army and win over its handsomeness!"
Zhao Baole was startled, "Keep his troops and horses and eliminate his military power?"
Guo Wuwei's eyes were as sharp as a knife, "This is the only choice!"
Dong Yushui raised his hand like a chopping knife and said, "Don't you want to kill him?"
Guo Wuwei's eyes flickered, "This is not the right time to kill him!"
Dong Yushui understood immediately. Zhang Zilu would kill him sooner or later, he just had to find the right time! If he did it now, it would definitely trigger a mutiny!
When Zhang Zilu saw the dazzling dragon robe from a distance, he immediately dismounted his horse and hurriedly walked to Liancheng in three steps and two steps, knelt down and said loudly: "I, Zhang Zilu, bow to the emperor!"
The soldiers and civilians of the Northern Han Dynasty near the city gate secretly admired him! This world-famous Zhang Zilu was actually able to bend and stretch, what a hero he was!
Zhang Zilu's two thousand soldiers and horses also knelt on the ground. Thousands of people shouted "Long Live the Mountain" in unison, the sound shook the heaven and the earth, and the momentum was like a rainbow!
Liancheng suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Zilu, you have worked hard all the way, please get up quickly!" He stretched out his hands to help Zhang Zilu, how could Zhang Zilu really let Liancheng help him, and stood up immediately!
Liancheng said: "Let them get up too!" He knew that although he was the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, he might not be able to command Zhang Zilu's army. If he directly ordered them to get up, no one would get up, although Zhang Zilu would
If he was embarrassed, his face would be ruined! So he only made requests to Zhang Zilu.
Zhang Zilu immediately turned around and signaled, "Everyone, get up!"
Two thousand people shouted in unison: "Thank you, General Zhang!" The sound shook the world!
General Zhang? From proclaiming himself a king to calling himself a general all of a sudden, the change was very fast!
Liancheng couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and then he smiled and said: "Come on, brother Zilu, I have set up a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust!"
Zhang Zilu immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, two thousand Zhang Jiajun marched into Taiyuan City!
□□□
Outside Wangjiang Tower, Gaoting County, Chenzhou City.
Dozens of black-clothed thugs were beaten by a black-clothed young man until they were staggering around. They were in a state of disarray and refused to retreat. They were quite tenacious!
And another tall young man just knocked two people dressed as scholars to the ground. The drunk man fell to the ground and was not honest, and kept scolding Zeng Yong!
After a while, more than a dozen government officials gathered around from a distance, and the head catcher shouted loudly: "Where are these bold and crazy people who dare to run wild in Gaoting County?"
Before Zeng Yong could say anything, he heard the drunk man shouting: "Catch them!"
The drunkard was beaten so hard by Zeng Yong that his teeth almost fell out, and his mouth was bleeding, but he still cursed without fear!
The reason why he still dared to scold Zeng Yong was because he was too confident! He was sure that these outsiders did not dare to kill him!
Although his father is the small magistrate of Gaoting County, his father's sworn brother is Zhao Guangyi's confidant!
Who is Zhao Guangyi? He is the younger brother of the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the current King of Jin is a thousand years old! Who dares to harm himself and kill his whole family!
When the onlookers saw the officials appearing, they immediately retreated and did not dare to get too close!
Who doesn’t know that the government officials in Gaoting County are the Kong family’s thugs!
The drunkard in front of him is none other than the county's number one dandy, Kong Shangren, the only son of County Magistrate Kong! Who dares to go against the Kong family in Gaoting County?
No matter how good the martial arts of these two foreigners are, what's the use? If the people don't fight with the officials, how can they fight against the forces behind the Kong family?
Zeng Yong looked at the government servants coldly and said grimly: "Who did you just say was acting wild?"
The leading catcher was intimidated by Zeng Yong's momentum and pretended to be calm: "Of course I'm talking about you!"
Zeng Yong's eyes became colder and murderous, "Two gangs were fighting, why did you say it was me who was acting wild? Why weren't they acting wild?"
Seeing Zeng Yong's murderous aura, the head catcher couldn't help but tighten his grip on the handle of the knife, fear flashing in his eyes, "What are you going to do?"
Zeng Yong's expression became more sinister, "What am I going to do? I just want to know, why the hell do you think it's me who's acting wild!"
A government officer behind the arresting officer immediately became angry when he saw Zeng Yong's aggressiveness, "What's the matter with saying you're acting wild? Are you so arrogant?"
Zeng Yong laughed angrily, looked at the yamen servant, and said with a ferocious smile: "Young man, I think you are very young, probably less than sixteen, right? I guess you must have never been beaten before!"
The yamen servant's face was full of anger, "I haven't been beaten by you anyway!" The catcher frowned and turned around to glare at the young yamen servant! He thought to himself: Are you so damn blind? Don't you see what the situation is now? There are some things.
You can only outwit, not force! It is best not to take action before finding out the other party's details, so as not to end up badly afterwards! As soon as he saw Zeng Yong and Pang Shiwu, these two people had extraordinary demeanor, and he knew that they were definitely not human beings.
If it is confirmed that these two foreigners have no official background, then it will not be too late to kill them! Now Xiao Wu's voice has completely forced everyone to have no way out! In order to make up for the mistake, it is not too late.
Because he was too passive, the head catcher scolded Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, do you have the right to speak? There are no rules or regulations!"
Xiao Wu's face immediately turned red when he was scolded in public. Thinking that he was usually spoiled, this slight grievance made him go crazy!
"What's wrong with my words? They are so arrogant and you don't teach them a lesson but tell me to shut up. What do you mean? Are you scared? I'm not scared! If you don't dare to take action, I'll call my eldest brother over!"
The head catcher was so angry that his face turned blue and white!
The eldest brother in Xiaowu's mouth is actually his distant cousin, the biggest local snake in Gaoting County! He almost monopolizes all the local brothels, gambling houses, pawns, escorts and other hugely profitable industries, although he is only a third-rate character entrenched in a small county town.
But it is said that he has a wide network of contacts in the martial arts circles of Hunan and Hubei, and is somewhat famous. They say that he has the support of Mr. Qi Xiaohou behind him.
With one of the four martial arts masters and the second master of the Hunan and Hubei martial arts circles, the second master of Qi, as his backer, who dares not to give him a small amount of face?
The catcher's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Okay! That's great! You go find your elder brother now!"
Xiao Wu turned around and left!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to join his cousin, it’s that his cousin doesn’t want him!
The reason why his cousin rejected him is very simple. Xiao Wu is the only child in the family, and following someone like him will inevitably lead to accidents. He doesn't want Xiao Wu to cut off the family's influence, and he is determined not to accept him as his younger brother! But if you have any difficulties, you can go to him directly!
Although I didn’t say anything about it, Xiaowu could still feel the meaning of responding to requests!
Zeng Yong said: "He went to move reinforcements, what about you?"
The catcher cupped his fists and said, "Can I ask you your surname?"
Zeng Yong thought for a moment and then said: "Zeng Yong!"
The catcher frowned, as if he had never heard of it.
Zeng Yong suddenly felt a little unhappy!
His face turned gloomy, "I heard that the martial arts comrades in Hunan and Hubei respect the Second Young Master Qi as the co-master of the Jianghu. I wonder if it is true or not?"
The head catcher said: "Of course it's true!"
Zeng Yongdao: "Apart from Mr. Qi Xiaohou, who are the most famous local martial arts masters?"
The head catcher said: "There are many martial arts gangs in Hunan and Hubei. I can't tell you at the moment, but most of the top masters are in Qi Mansion. But I heard that Feng Jiuxiao came out of Hengyang, and his martial arts skills are extremely high. I heard that he is Qi Xiao
Mr. Hou's friend has become very famous in the world recently!"
Zeng Yong said angrily: "Have you seen that Feng Jiuxiao?"
The head catcher said: "I have been living in a small place like Gaoting, how can I have the chance to meet these peerless masters?"
Zeng Yongdao: "Have you heard of Huizhou Tianying Fort?"
The head catcher shook his head, "I've never heard of it, but Huizhou's Duan Inkstone is world-famous!" His eyes suddenly flashed, "You are from Huizhou Tianying Fort?"
Only then did he recognize it, but he only realized it after being reminded by himself!
Zeng Yong was extremely disappointed!
He suppressed his anger and sneered: "So be it!"
But I heard Pang Shiwu say from the side: "Brother Zeng, you don't have to be sulky. After all, Gaoting is a small place, relatively isolated, and the flow of people is not large. It is normal for everyone to know very little about the affairs of the world!"
Zeng Yong looked over and saw all the men in black lying on the ground, rolling in pain and finally unable to get up! Everyone's face was swollen like a pig's head! The people watching from a distance all secretly cheered, and some almost wanted to shout
"Thank you, heroes!" When the words came to my lips, I finally held back my words! After all, these heroes will leave Gaoting County sooner or later, but locals like them have nowhere to hide. Whoever called these thugs must remember to death, and use
They would have to come to take revenge within the next day, and it would never be finished until they beat him half to death!
When Zeng Yong heard this, the anger in his heart subsided a little, but it was still not completely gone! He looked at the head catcher and thought about how to provoke the other party to take action first, so that he could overturn them all and release the anger in his chest.
Bad mouth!
The catcher looked at Zeng Yong's gloomy face and his malicious attitude. His heart was already beating, and he also began to figure out that the person lying on the ground was the county prince's son. It was necessary to rescue him. The key was how to deal with the aftermath?
If I don't vent my anger on Master Kong's behalf, I'm afraid I won't get any good results! But compared to these two masters, people like myself are just like dough, and they can be kneaded by others!
How to do it?
The head catcher feels his head is too big!
If I had known earlier I would not be a soldier!
The nine people in Jiangdong Hall upstairs looked at each other, no one dared to say a word!
They were afraid of alerting the two fierce men. What if they found out that the people in this room were actually friends of Mr. Kong and rushed up to them? Everyone here counts, and no one would accept anyone else's food, drink, whoring and gambling, but
If someone is tougher than fists, then you have picked the wrong person! Everyone looked ugly, and one of the men in blue shirt whispered: "What should I do?"
Another young man in purple shirt whispered: "What should I do?"
The young man in blue shirt said: "Should we go down, or should we not go down?"
The purple-shirted man's eyes widened and he lowered his voice: "What are you doing down here?"
The young man in blue shirt laughed dryly and said: "If we don't go down now...will Mr. Kong say that we are not loyal in the future?"
The purple-shirted young man showed a vicious expression, "Loyalty? Loyalty is nothing? Didn't you see that those two mad dogs have murderous intentions? I think they clearly want to kill Lao Kong. If we go down, we will be beaten to death by them."
Besides dead dogs, what other problems can be solved?"
The young man in blue shirt said awkwardly: "At least go down and intercede for them! We usually play together every day, and at critical moments, can we be reduced to turtles? I don't think those two people will kill people. Look at Lao Kong's men, although they all
He won’t come, but he only hurt from being beaten, and no one was beaten to death!”
The young man in purple shirt was refuted in public and felt that he could not save his face. "Brother Zhang, since you are loyal, then go down and intercede for Lao Kong. How about it? If you don't get beaten by them, I will call you "Lord" later!
The other young masters suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, and they all advised: "We are all brothers, why should we be serious?"
The anger of the young man in blue shirt seemed to be aroused, his face turned cold instantly, and he said coldly: "This is what you said! All the brothers heard it, you testify, if I had not been beaten to death, he would have turned around
You have to call me "Lord!" He walked away with a puff of his sleeves!
Someone in Jiangxi Hall finally broke the silence!
A man with a shaved nendan beard said softly in Japanese: "Koizumi-kun, what should we do?"
Mr. Koizumi, who was sitting in the main seat, was not as good as the mountain. He also said in Japanese: "We haven't heard the sound of them dying of poison yet. Let's continue to wait and see what happens!"
The seven Japanese people raised their ears and listened to what was going on outside.
Naturally, they could clearly hear the sounds of a group of people downstairs being beaten until they howled like ghosts. They could also clearly hear the argument between the young men next door. The only thing that puzzled them was that there was no movement at all in the room where the boy in white clothes lived.
No, it's impossible for them not to breathe, right? With the skills of these Japanese people, they can definitely hear the breathing in that room! At least that little girl definitely doesn't know martial arts, and she definitely doesn't know the turtle breath screen in the Central Plains martial arts.
Hold your breath! It’s really strange! Since the situation is unknown, we can only continue to wait!
Thanks to "Infrasound Six" for your strong support!
