Wang Zhizheng took Wei Yuan and Huang Zongxi, dressed in coarse cloth civilian clothes, carrying an arrow on his back, carrying a strong bow, and a waist knife tied around his waist, and the horse galloped towards Beishan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Beishan is two miles north of Tongcheng, and it takes less than half an hour to ride a horse.

In order to ensure the safety of Wang Zhizheng, Shen Shaoxian sent out a team of more than 200 people to wait at the north city gate, and ordered that if the three of them did not go out of the mountain for two hours, they would forcibly attack the mountain.

When he arrived at a steep slope in Beishan, Wei Yuan pointed at the steep slope with a horsewhip and said, "Master Hou, this is the blockade line of the bandits, and there are five to ten sentries guarding it in front of it. ”

Wang Zhizheng squinted his eyes and looked at the pergola, and he could indeed see a few shadowy figures not far from the hillside.

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said, "Tie the horse well, and catch a few live mouths with me!"

Huang Zongxi excitedly tied his horse, took out a strong bow and pulled it and said, "Good bow!

Wei Yuan was a little nervous when he fought with Wang Zhizheng for the first time, but seeing that she and Huang Zongxi were both confident, he also calmed down, tied his horse, and the three of them bent down and began to secretly move down the hillside along the bushes!

At the bottom of the hillside, Wang Zhizheng waved his hand, and the three of them quietly climbed up and hid behind the rocks. Wang Zhizheng held his breath and counted the number of sentries in the bandit army, and then lowered his head and asked Wei Yuan, "How is your archery technique?"

Wei Yuan nodded: "It's okay!"

Wang Zhizheng pointed to the hillside: "There are a total of eight sentinels, we shoot one of the three from left to right, and the remaining five slaughter two and capture three alive!"

The three of them held their breath and held strong bows and set up arrows, Wang Zhizheng took the lead in aiming at a bandit who was sitting on the stone mountain yawning, "whoosh", an arrow flew out, hitting the back of the bandit by the neck, the bandit responded to the ground, and the arrows of Huang Zongxi and Wei Yuan also shot the other two bandits.

The remaining five bandits were shocked, hurriedly grabbed their weapons and jumped up to dodge, Wang Zhizheng took out the waist knife and went straight over, and cut it down at a bandit, the bandit used to block, but Wang Zhizheng's arm strength was too great, and the blade slid down the back of the bandit's knife, not only cutting off the bandit's arm, but also just stabbing the bandit's throat, and Huang Zongxi brandished a big knife to cut off the head of another bandit.

Wei Yuan saw that there were only three alive left, so he grabbed a bandit and knocked him to the ground, and knocked him unconscious with the back of a knife.

The other two bandits shouted, "Go up the hill and report!"

Shouting and running away, Wang Zhizheng held a strong bow and put two arrows at the same time, "whoosh-whoosh-" The two arrows flew out at the same time.

An arrow hit one of the bandits in the back of the heart, and the bandit fell to the ground and died, and another arrow hit the bandana of another bandit, and he fell to the ground in fright.

Wang Zhizheng shook his head: "Originally, I was going to catch three live mouths, but there were only two left! Wei Yuan and Tai Chong, threw the corpses off the cliff, and then tied them both back to the city!"

Wei Yuan and Huang Zongxi were both brave and powerful, and they threw their corpses into the cliff after three strokes and five divisions, and the two tied up captives stared at each other in fright.

The three men rode back to the city with two captives, and as soon as they reached the city gate, they saw a Biaotong city official army answering at the gate.

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said, "It's just a few tongues, and you are still here to mobilize the people?"

County Lieutenant Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's Lord Shen who can't rest assured that Master Hou can't be relieved." ”

After saying that, Wei Yuan waved his hand: "Okay, bring these two captives back to the county office." ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Wait, before I go back to the county office, these two people's mouths must be tightly blocked, and the two are not allowed to collude, do you hear?"

The officers and soldiers nodded and took the two prisoners.

Wang Zhizheng, Wei Yuan, and Huang Zongxi rode side by side, Wei Yuan smiled and patted Wang Zhizheng's beard: "Master Hou, I see that you are agile, you really deserve to be the commander of the former forbidden army!"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "My skills are not good, I am not as good as Huang Zongxi, at that time, there was a civil official named Ni Wenhuan of Taichang Siqing in the eunuch party, you should know that I almost died in his hands with him alone." ”

Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was a child, and I have a brute force, which is far worse than Hou Ye and my strategy. ”

Wei Yuan said humbly: "Being a county lieutenant in Tongcheng, I have seen little of the world, and I have no opportunity to learn, today I can cooperate with Hou Ye and Young Master Huang, it is really a great joy in life!"

Wang Zhizheng saw that Wei Yuan was old and steady, although he could also slap horses, but he was shrewd and capable, Wang Zhizheng asked with a good feeling: "Wei Yuan, how did you become the captain of Tongcheng County?"

When Wei Yuan heard this, he knew that he could not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he said proudly: "Xia Guan served in the army in Tongcheng, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he was promoted to the lieutenant of Tongcheng County because of his meritorious service in following the Anqing prefect to quell the rebellion. ”

Wang Zhizheng held the reins of the horse and nodded: "I know, you remember, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic today, it is the time for the martial artist to use his life, do it well, and when I return to the capital, I will protect you to the military department." ”

Wei Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation!"

When I returned to the county office, I saw that Shen Shaoxian was already waiting at the door, and saw Wang Zhizheng striding in with Wei Yuan and Huang Zongxi, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou has worked hard!

Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go, let me interrogate those two captives!"

Entering the hall, Wang Zhizheng saw that the two captives were kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely, and trembling with fright.

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly and ordered, "Take off the towels in the mouths of the two of them." ”

The guards removed the towels.

Wang Zhizheng smiled and asked, "You two are very lucky, you didn't die in our hands just now, but do you know what criminal law will be imposed on the crime of treason?"

The two of them were so frightened that they kowtowed like garlic: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, we have the old and the young......

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said viciously: "It's useless for you to tell me this, let me tell you, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the two of you should be punished by Ling Chi and the Nine Clans!"

As soon as Wang Zhizheng's words fell, the two of them collapsed on the ground and trembled without saying a word, their faces were as white as earth.

One of them cried and said, "If the adults had not suffered a disaster, and their families had starved to death, and they had no way out, who would want to go up to the mountains to become bandits...... begging their subordinates to show mercy to their subordinates?"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since you are so greedy for life, I will simply show you a way to live, and the two of you will take me up the mountain to meet your leader, how about it?"

Wang Zhizheng's voice fell, not only the two captives, but even Shen Shaoxian, Wei Yuan, Huang Zongxi, Zuo Guozhu, Ruan Dacheng, Zhang Pu and others were stunned and their eyes widened.

Wang Zhizheng smiled and asked, "What, don't you want to live?"

The two of them hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My lord, if we let us go up the mountain with you, aren't you afraid that we will rebel?"

Wang Zhizheng didn't smile: "Don't be afraid." Bet on your family!"

The two glanced at each other and hurriedly said, "Okay, we are willing." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said: "I want to test your sincerity, Lord Wei, detain the two of them in two rooms, interrogate them separately, let them each tell each other's true identity, name, address, and village nationality, if the confessions of the two are a little inconsistent, they will both be pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market!"

Wei Yuan nodded: "Yes!"

Wang Zhizheng then said to Shen Shaoxian: "According to the addresses and village registrations confessed by the two, tie up their entire family to the county government!"

Shen Shaoxian hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Master Hou!"

As soon as Wei Yuan stretched out his hand, the two guards pushed and shoved and took the two captives down.

Wang Zhizheng suddenly turned to look at Ruan Dacheng and asked with a smile: "Third uncle, do you have the courage to go up the mountain with me?"

Ruan Dacheng was taken aback and asked, "What does Master Hou need me to do up the mountain?!"

Wang Zhizheng's face suddenly became serious: "It's better to forcibly attack the mountain than to capture the thief and capture the king, I plan to let Wei Yuan tie you up the mountain, Tai Chong and I disguise ourselves as entourage, so that Wei Yuan falsely claims that he can't get along in the county government, so he tied up the third uncle You go up the mountain to ask for refuge in the bandits, and Tai Chong and I saw the opportunity to act and kidnapped the bandit leader 'old fox', how about the third uncle, do you dare to go?"

After a fierce psychological struggle, Ruan Dacheng knew that if he performed well this time, it would be tantamount to planting a flower of peace in the hearts of Wang Zhizheng and the Restoration Socialist Party.
