At this time, Zhao Liang was speechless in a hurry, and Xiaoya couldn't help but be a little nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Meng Qi, what's going on?" ”

Meng Qi looked at the letter cannon in his hand carefully, and said to himself: "I guess it's been useless for a long time, it's damp, right?" ”

He stretched out his other hand and slapped the barrel hard, then shook it violently, and pointed the letter cannon at the sky again, this time, the letter cannon obviously reacted, and after a loud sound, suddenly a fireball erupted from the mouth of the barrel, with a piercing whistle, straight into the sky, and then exploded in the dark night sky with a large field of brilliant fireworks.

The crowd around couldn't help but be stunned, and while looking up at the top of their heads, they all secretly wondered: What kind of cannon do they fire if it's not a festival?

Hengxi and Gong Yubo were the first to react, sensing that this was likely a signal for help, and immediately became annoyed, and were about to open their mouths to scold, when suddenly, from outside the town, there was a faint thunder in the distance.

"Huh? Where is the thunder going? A member of the Weishui Gang wondered.

"Alas, it's not thunder, the sky is full of stars, how can there be thunder?" Another Jianghu ranger hurriedly denied: "Could it be an earthquake?" I feel like the soles of my feet are shaking. ”

In the blink of an eye, the sound of thunder and movement was closer, and even a fool understood at this moment: my God, this is not thunder, let alone an earthquake, it is the sound of horses' hooves of the cavalry regiment!

Just when everyone was inexplicably stunned, several Weishui Gang members who were responsible for guarding the entrance of the town rushed over and shouted: "Cavalry! Cavalry! Black Cavalry! ”

With a frightened shout, a large group of black-armored cavalry, as if from the Netherworld, appeared at the end of the brightly lit street. The cavalry broke into the main road of Jingkou Town, not only did not reduce their speed at all, but also lowered their bodies, suddenly accelerated and sprinted, like a huge black iron wall, flying towards the crowd on the street. The shops on both sides of the street, including the small noodle stalls of old stones, were smashed by war horses in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the cavalry that appeared on the street was only a hundred, but with that kind of unstoppable momentum, the hundreds of Jianghu rangers who were suppressed did not dare to move, and they lowered their weapons one after another, and honestly huddled together, for fear of hindering the rapid advance of the black-armored cavalry.

Seeing that the other party was shrinking tighter and tighter, and making way for a wide passage on both sides, the cavalry horses did not hesitate to cross the street quickly, and surrounded the crowd several times their own from all sides with a hundred troops.

When the formation was completely arranged, the black-armored cavalry calmly reined in their horses, raised their spears, and looked down at the large group of trembling people in the middle.

After all, Hengxi is a court official, not as shocked as Gong Yubo and Che Ying and others, he saw that it was Daqin's army, his heart was a little calm, and he hurriedly surrendered his hand and said to the centurion who led the team: "This general, the lower official is Hengxi, the county commander of Fushi County, dare to ask what is the name of the honorable driver?" ”

The centurion didn't bird him, turned over and dismounted, walked straight to Zhao Liang and knelt down on one knee: "Lord Qiqi, I am ordered to help." ”

This scene immediately startled everyone present. Although everyone had more or less guessed before that the sudden appearance of the Qin army might be related to Zhao Liang's trick just now, they still didn't expect that such an imposing iron cavalry horse turned out to be the young man's subordinates.

Especially Hengxi, Gong Yubo and Cha Ying, they were particularly surprised. Che Ying was surprised that such an ordinary, even funny young man actually had a great identity, and couldn't help but sigh that he had just looked away. And Hengxi and Gong Yubo were a little chilling at this time.

The reason is very simple, at this point, the two of them have gradually seen the identity of the black-armored cavalry by the light - it is actually the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, Yulin Iron Guard!

In the entire Great Qin Empire, there are probably no more than three people who can control and mobilize this terrifying force, except for His Majesty the Emperor! And all of them are big people who shake the world with a single stomp. Even Gong Yubo's brother-in-law and son-in-law Hu Hai has no qualifications at all. It can be seen that the young man in front of him is definitely something they can't afford to mess with!

Zhao Liang didn't speak yet, only heard Meng Qi behind him dissatisfied: "Why did you come so slowly?" What about the others? ”

The centurion replied with great fear: "Please forgive the general." He is slow to act in his humble duties, and he is willing to be punished. Returning to the general, the other brothers have surrounded the entire Jingkou Town from the periphery, and there are also several groups of men and horses as scouts, scattered within a radius of five miles to carry out patrols and guards to prevent the enemy from raiding. ”

"Alright, get up." Meng Qi said lightly: "In my territory of Daqin, where is the enemy raid?" The tension was excessive. ”

The centurion said yes, then stood up neatly, and stood solemnly beside Zhao Liang with his hands down, waiting for new instructions.

Zheng Luya smiled at the stunned Zhu family beside her: "Now you don't have to worry anymore, you can track down the real murderer of Bai Yunfan in a down-to-earth manner." ”

"Girl, you ...... Who are you? The Zhu family came back to their senses and hurriedly asked Xiaoya.

In fact, it's not just the Zhu family, everyone present wants to know the answer, especially Cha Ying, Gong Yubo and Hengxi. The three of them are here and now, and they all have a deep connection with all kinds of things that happened before, and they are often related to the success or failure of their own plans, and even the safety of their lives, so they also want to find out as soon as possible, where is this young man in front of them? And why did Qin Shi Huang's elite troops appear here?

Seeing that the situation had been completely controlled by his subordinates, Meng Qi could finally put his mind at ease about the safety of Xiao Guoshi and Zheng Xiangu, so Shi Shiran walked in front of Hengxi and the others and revealed the answer to them: "Listen to it, my name is Meng Qi, and I am the Zhonglang general of the Yulin Tiewei Dongdu Battalion." And this one is His Majesty's Imperial Pen Qinfeng, the Aquarius Star in the sky, and the small national teacher of my Great Qin Empire - Lord Zhao Liang! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations, especially Hengxi and Gong Yubo, whose faces became as ugly as they were.

Two days ago, Hengxi read the palace report sent by the imperial court in the county government office, and one of them was to spread it to officials in various places, about the imperial fighting method and the situation of the imperial division and the enthronement of large and small national teachers. Hengxi never expected that the world-famous Aquarius Star Zhao Immortal would be the young man in front of him. My God, he is the hope of His Majesty the Emperor's immortality, and even those bigwigs in the court don't dare to easily provoke offended characters!

Thinking about this problem, Hengxi climbed off the horse, knelt in front of Zhao Liang with a plop, and kowtowed again and again: "The lower official doesn't know that the national teacher is here, and he was rude and offended before, please forgive the national teacher!" Please national teacher Haihan! ”

Even the unbeatable county magistrate just now became cowardly, of course Gong Yubo and Che Ying did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted at the same time, and followed Hengxi to bow down to Zhao Liang. Immediately afterwards, I don't know if it was a follow-up, or under the strong pressure of Yulin Tiewei, all the people in the rivers and lakes around, including the Zhu family, knelt down to worship one after another, shouting nonsense: "See the National Teacher." ”

Frankly speaking, the so-called position of national teacher actually belongs to the guest secretary of the Son of Heaven, that is, the personal adviser hired by the emperor, who does not receive state money, but only allocates some rewards and remuneration from the royal private treasury, so it is not in the official system of the imperial court, and there is no concept of rank.

In other words, apart from being able to meet and talk directly to His Majesty the Emperor, the national teacher has no actual power and lofty status. Whether it is according to the tradition of the ritual system or the laws of Daqin, there is no need to pay homage with such a grand ceremony when you see the national teacher. Especially Hengxi, as the highest magistrate of a county, represents the majesty and dignity of the imperial court, not to mention the need to bow down to the so-called national teacher.

However, the truth is the truth, and the reality is the reality. Think about it, can a person who chatters with His Majesty every day be an ordinary person? What's more, the person in front of him, when he goes out, he can even bring the Son of Heaven's personal soldiers to accompany him on the left and right, and the pomp is terrifying! To put it mildly, let Yulin Tiewei slaughter you on the spot, go back and talk to the emperor, it is estimated that there is nothing wrong, how can this not make Hengxi feel frightened.

And Gong Yubo, who was kneeling on the side, was even more nervous at this time, and couldn't help but wonder to himself, what was going on in front of him? In fact, he was more familiar with the situation of the little national teacher than the county commander Hengxi, and he was more afraid of Zhao Liang who appeared here at this time.

The reason is very simple, Gong Yubo is not only the brother-in-law of Gongzi Hu Hai, but also a lay disciple of the great master Beichen Zhenren. He had already learned about all the things that had happened before him from his master, and today's killing game against the Lights Out Daoist was also arranged by him on the secret orders of Beichen and Zhao Gao.

It's just that he, like Hengxi, didn't expect in advance that Zhao Liang, the junior brother of the lights out Taoist and the newly promoted little national teacher, would actually appear in Jingkou Town at the most critical time!

Gong Yubo couldn't help but cry out in his heart, Zhao Liang is a national teacher who can compete with Beichen Zhenren, not to mention his little Weishui gang leader, even if his brother-in-law Hu Hai is here, for His Majesty's sake, he has to let Zhao Liang have a few points. Now that the Yulin Iron Guard has besieged Jingkou Town, suppressing his gang and a group of people from the rivers and lakes to the point that they can't move, how can they carry out the plan ordered by Shizun and besiege and extinguish the lights?

It's not good, the lights out haven't been able to kill him, but let Zhao Liang do him first. Gong Yubo thought to himself: Master, Master, your old man and Lord Zhao Gao, this is really very easy, but what should I do now?

Gong Yubo's thoughts at this time had already been read clearly by Zhao Liang, and he saw him take a few steps forward leisurely, staring at Gong Yubo who was kneeling on the ground and smiled: "What? Started complaining about the shopkeeper? Beichen and Zhao Gao hid behind, but they pushed you down to the forefront, it's really not righteous, don't you say? ”

As soon as Zhao Liang said this, Gong Yubo was immediately shocked, and he sat on the ground with his mouth wide open.
