Chapter 85 What is power

At the foot of Mengshan Mountain, Lei Ren, who was covered in blood and like black charcoal, knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Leader Wang, blame his subordinates for their incompetence, I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to be so ruthless, and they actually did not let go of children who were less than ten years old." ”

There was silence in the council hall of the University, and in the middle of summer, it seemed as if a cold snow had fallen. A murderous intent was slowly condensing, and some people stared at each other, almost biting their lips.

Suddenly, a scream, like a sharp sword, cut through everyone's hearts in an instant.

"Mother..... Mother..... It's all my son's fault..... It's because I can't live with you....."

The person who knelt on the ground and howled miserably was none other than Zhang Cunmeng, who did not touch the mud. The crying was so miserable that it made people's hearts tremble, and their eyes couldn't help but be filled with tears.

Finally, Wang Jiayin slowly stood up, his face was like a piece of ice that could not be dissolved for ten thousand years, he gritted his teeth and glanced at everyone in the hall.

"The officers and soldiers are deceiving people too much, and this is to drive us out. Brothers, Wang, like you, can't wait to carry a knife and fight with those officers and soldiers now...... But ....."

"But we have to endure, we have to live first, only by living, can we take revenge. Now, pass on my order, and all the departments will retreat in the direction of Wenshui in turn, hey, since the imperial court won't let us live, then we can't let the imperial court have a better ....."

Wang Jiayin's eyes flashed with a gloomy color, which made people shudder. Even Wu Yangui was frightened by Wang Jiayin's cold eyes.

In the corner, Gao Yingxiang hung his head slightly, his hands crossed uneasily, and when the discussion was over, he didn't say a word.

The crowd finally dispersed, Gao Yingxiang walked on the mountain path with some lost soul, the top of his head suddenly felt a little cold, reached out and touched it, and got into a piece of turquoise leaves.

In the middle of summer, everything is full of life, but a leaf falls overhead.

Looking at the leaf in his hand, Gao Yingxiang squeezed out a complicated smile, sighed, flipped his palm, and the leaves fell with the wind.

Are you right or wrong? Perhaps, one day, the heavens will give the answer.

.......

Niu Venus aimlessly hid in the shade, holding a book in his hand, passing the time. It didn't take long for someone to stop beside me.

Turning his head to look, he saw that it was Wang Zuohang, he closed the book and arched his hand slightly.

Among the rebels, Wang Zuohang seemed to be the strangest person. It is said that Wang Zuojiao is one of the "three kings" and the first group of people to cause trouble, so his status should be very high. However, he is very low-key, and if he doesn't speak, you will even forget that there is such a person in the rebels.

The three kings of the righteous army, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong and Wang Zuohang. Wang Zuohang can be said to have started an incident at the same time as Wang Jiayin, and Wang Jiayin was able to become the leader smoothly, thanks to Wang Zuohang's help.

But for some reason, after everything stabilized, Wang Zuohang slowly disappeared behind the scenes, which also led to the fact that most of the rebels knew about Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong, but they didn't know about Wang Zuohang.

Many people look down on Wang Zuohang, but Niu Venus does not.

If there is anyone in the rebel army who makes Niu Jinxing jealous, then Wang Zuojiao is definitely one.

Niu Jinxing is afraid of Wang Zuohang, all because Wang Zuo is both civil and military, and his mind is elusive. There are dozens of leaders of the rebel army, large and small, Niu Jinxing can see a rough idea, but only Wang Zuohang, which can't be seen through at all.

Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang are just taking the opportunity to make trouble and satisfy their ambitions, but what about Wang Zuohang? If it's for ambition, he doesn't hold much power, if it's for glory and wealth, he has a good family background, so why should he become a bandit and become a chaotic party?

For Wang Zuohang, Niu Jinxing has always been in line with the principle of less contact if he can.

Niu Jinxing said hello and wanted to leave, Wang Zuohang squinted his eyes and whispered thoughtfully: "Mr. Niu, you are really a good means, more than 40,000 lives..."

"Brother Zuo, what do you mean? Niu didn't understand. ”

"Really? Mr. Niu, you have to remember that people are watching the sky, and there is no impermeable wall in the world. ”

Niu Jinxing smiled bitterly in his heart, sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from Wang Zuohang. However, Niu Jinxing's face remained unchanged, and he still had a faint smile.

Rolled up the book in his hand, knocked it on the wall, and said pointedly.

"Brother Zuo, then you should understand that this wall has actually been ventilated for a long time, and many people just pretend not to know."

Wang Zuo's eyebrows tightened more and more, staring directly into Niu Jinxing's eyes, and his tone became much heavier, "Niu Jinxing, I know what you want, but have you ever thought that if you do this, can you really get to that position?" ”

"A cold chair, standing on a high platform, ten thousand people bowing? No, there will never be that day. ”

Niu Jinxing just touched his short beard lightly and raised his head calmly.

"Brother Zuo, what do you want? The world is peaceful, and everyone is not starving? Look at the present, there are dozens of leaders, large and small, and how many people know that you are a brother on the left? ”

"No matter what you want to do, you must have power, and Brother Zuo, you have taken away the power you have got!"

Wang Zuo twitched the corners of his mouth and asked a little sarcastically, "Really?" Do you know what power is? ”

Niu Jinxing held the book in his left hand and pointed to his temple with his right, "As long as a person is smart enough and has enough brains, he can put everything in the palm of his hand." ”

"Huh!" Wang Zuohang laughed softly, his eyes full of contempt.

Niu Jinxing frowned slightly, a little displeased, "Why is Brother Zuo hanging?" But Niu was wrong? ”

Wang Zuojiao clapped his hands gently, and at this time, four strong men walked out of the corner, "Brother Wang, what's the matter?" ”

"Take Niu Jinxing down, if he resists, he will be killed!"

The four strong men didn't ask the reason, and immediately controlled Niu Jinxing, and one of them drew his knife, ready to cut down at any time.

Niu Jinxing was taken aback, and a trace of fear finally flashed between his eyebrows, "Brother Zuo, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Zuo waved his hand, motioned for the four of them to disperse, and said lightly: "If I want to kill you, what can you do with all your ingenuity?" ”

Leaving a strange word, Wang Zuohang led the people into the distance. Niu Jinxing frowned, his eyes were cloudy, and after a long time, he spat on the ground.

"A reckless man, self-righteous!"

......

On the eighth day of August in the first year of Chongzhen, the rebellious party near Taiyuan Mansion suddenly retreated to the southwest, all the way through Qingyuan County, and went straight to Wenshui County.

On the same day, Heiyunlong and Tiemo also arrived in Qingyuan County with soldiers and horses.

The once peaceful town is now a dark rubble, with corpses lying everywhere in the mess. A few stray dogs were gnawing in the corner, perhaps they hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.

Walking on the rubble, every step forward, almost a corpse has to be stepped. The houses on both sides, there is not a trace of intactness.
