Empress Dowager Zhao has been detained for twenty years, what insight can she have, and when she heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Who wants to harm us?" ”

"A ** minister, agitating like a spring, wants to let the 100,000 soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion enter Beijing. You know, those are all the cronies of the former emperor, and no one can say what they will do. ”

Chen Shou looked worried, and said angrily: "I hate these traitors, bullying Your Majesty at a young age, and they really deserve death!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao stretched out her hand and looked at Chen Shou, "We orphans and widows, what knowledge can we have, and the major affairs of the court still depend on you." Chen Shou, how much do you think about the love of Xiaozhi and help my emperor. ”

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, the ministers are full of liver and brains, and they will not give up!"

"In this way, I am relieved."

Chen Shou clapped his hands, and several eunuchs struggled to carry a box in, Chen Shou smiled and said, "Weichen has prepared some small gifts for the Queen Mother." ”

"You've got a heart." Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and asked people to take it to the back.

In Kunning Palace, after chatting a few words, Empress Dowager Zhao reluctantly sent Chen Shou away.

"My lord, are you still going to see Your Majesty?" Zhao Hong asked.

Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "There's no need, it's only going to add to your troubles." ”

At present, how can I still have the energy to settle a little emperor, he is in the palace to guide the country, high-spirited, thinking that the whole world is not the king's land, once crowned is the lord of all peoples. As everyone knows, this world has long been not his Zhao family.

After returning to the water pavilion, the guards who had gone to follow Xiao Xinzi had already returned, holding a list in their hands. There was still some blood on it.

Chen Shou didn't have to think about it to know that this was the little eunuch's, and it seemed that he was tortured.

"Give this list to Yuan Xiannian, let him arrest people according to the list, depose them all as commoners, confiscate their family property, and expel them from the capital."

Qin Hui, Zhongtiao Mountain.

Yue Peng took a few people to explore the way in the mountains.

Suddenly, the war horse under his crotch neighed, and several bamboo poles shot rapidly.

Yue Peng turned sideways on horseback, stumbling avoided, and there was a thin blood mark on his cheek.

The person behind him quickly drew a knife in his hand, and Yue Peng said in a deep voice: "My lord is really not wrong, there are thieves here, brothers be careful!" ”

A rider took out a bamboo tube from his arms, lit it and raised it to the sky, reporting that the fireworks were in the air.

A group of thieves suddenly rushed out of the forest, they were dressed in a variety of clothes, and the weapons in their hands were relatively regular, all of them were simple knives.

"Hand over your horses, take off your clothes, and go around you without dying!" A thief shouted arrogantly.

Yue Peng didn't answer, looked at them coldly, and squeezed out three words from his mouth: "White... Lotus... Teach..."

Being identified by someone, the leader of the thieves was a little surprised, and asked, "Who are you!" ”

Yue Peng was originally a squire's family in Hedong, and he had more than enough land, but after believing in the White Lotus Sect, his family became poorer and poorer.

I wanted to get together and quit with a good temperament, but who knew that as soon as I brought it up, my little sister would be victimized by them. His father and brother were beaten to death, and he was the only one who escaped death and crawled out of the pile of dead people east of the river.

He is very clear about the White Lotus Sect, and his hatred is as deep as the sea, just looking at the behavior and position of these people, he can already see that they are the White Lotus Sect.

There were more and more people in the forest, at least thirty or fifty people, and they surrounded these five people.

"Don't use arrows, don't hurt the horses, the incense lord ordered us to rob the war horses here, and we will complete the task with just four horses missing. Today, these boys are still rich. ”

"Then pick the best horse and keep it for you to ride." Around the thief leader, one of his subordinates said flatteringly.

The thief slapped him on the head and scolded: "As a member of the Holy Sect, it is natural to put the Holy Sect first, and it is only right to hand over the best. ”

They clearly ate these five people, they were not in a hurry, and they even had the heart to chat.

In this wilderness, Zhongtiao Mountain, the trees are high and dense, stretching for thousands of miles, and no one comes and goes, except for tourists.

They robbed a lot of merchants and tourists here, and threw them into the mass graves at the foot of the mountain, as evidenced by the accumulation of white bones, and the corpses fattened many birds and beasts in the forest.

The thief head waved his hand, and his subordinates rushed up, and Yue Peng and his subordinates desperately stabbed with spears. The impact of horses cannot be exerted in the mountains and forests, and the large number of people is the biggest advantage.

After a few rounds, there were still three people around Yue Peng, and the horse really couldn't move, so he simply jumped off the horse, threw away the spear in his hand, picked up the long knife in his waist, and slashed it over. With a slash, the back of the slanted shoulder strap had been slashed into the body of one of them.

"Brother, dismount!"

Wow, another brother fell, Yue Peng turned his head to see that someone had jumped up and threw himself to the ground, and the two people who were rolling on the ground picked each other's eyes, grabbed the opponent's neck, and rolled in the jungle.

Yue Peng inserted a knife into the thief's vest, and his wrist turned hard in the flesh to help his subordinates get out of trouble.

"These bird men are so difficult to deal with, they have already broken more than a dozen of my subordinates." The thief leader is a little distressed, within the White Lotus Sect, the more subordinates you have, the higher your status, and the easier it is to be promoted to an incense master.

"Big brother, look, they're going to be dead soon."

Before the words fell, the reinforcements behind had already been killed, and Zhang Zhengyuan personally led people to rush over and joined the battlefield without the slightest delay.

The situation reversed in an instant, Yue Peng shouted, threw the Pu knife and grabbed a bandit, grabbed his head and slammed it into the big tree behind him, his brain cracked, and red and white splashed on the ground.

"Someone is running away!"

The soldiers behind Zhang Zhengyuan took off their bows and arrows from their waists and shot arrows high in the trees. There was also a group of people who quickly chased after them.

Soon, the escaped thieves were either shot dead or captured, and Zhang Zhengyuan frowned as he looked at the corpses on the ground and the weapons they were holding.

"This is the weapon of the Xiliang soldiers, Yue Peng, you can see if it is or not."

Yue Peng stepped forward and looked at it for a while, and said, "That's right, when we were fighting side by side with Li Xin's men in Hedong, they used this. To be honest, it's heavy and dull, and it's not very useful. ”

Zhang Zhengyuan's eyes flickered, pondered for a moment, and stepped forward to ask, "Where did these weapons come from?" ”

The interrogated bandit raised his head and asked, "I said, can you spare my life?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his head was cut off with a knife, and the wound on his neck was bleeding, which was very horrifying.

"You come on." Zhang Zhengyuan pointed to his companions beside the dead bandits.

"I said, I said, a caravan we had robbed. Their weapons, as well as a great deal of money and horses, were taken away by the incense owner. ”

Zhang Zhengyuan groaned: "I heard Marquis Zhongyong say that one of his friends was killed by the White Lotus thieves on the way back to Xiliang, and it seems that this group of people did it. The Xiliang caravan is all veterans of a hundred battles, how could they be harmed by these rabble. I see that there are still a large number of thieves in this place, and I have ordered them to go down, suspend the march, and inquire around, and not to startle the snakes. ”

"What about these people?"

"What's the use of harming people and animals..."

Yue Peng wiped the blood on the blade, and said with a smile: "My lord, after all, we are going to hire the Marquis of Zhongyong, if we let him know that we have extraneous branches, will we..."

Zhang Zhengyuan smiled rarely, turned his head and said: "It's not us who made an extraneous branch, it's these thieves who ambushed us first." If Hou Ye knew, we would also be forced to fight back. ”

"That's right! Forced to fight back! ”
