Turning back to the inn room, You Hongzhuo was a little excited to report the information he heard to Mr. Zhao, who was drinking tea and reading a book, but it was obvious that the two seniors had already known about these news. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Mr. Zhao just smiled and listened, nodded slightly, You Hongzhuo couldn't help but ask, "That...... Did the two seniors also go to Zezhou for that Wang Shitong righteous man? ”

The other party just smiled and shook his head: "We will not participate in things like Jianghu Juyi, our husband and wife will not participate, and it is okay to pass through Zezhou and see the excitement." If you are so interested, you can also take a few looks, but the rudder of the Zezhou Great Bright Sect is the helm, and the helmsman is that Tan Zheng, if your fourth brother is really the one who betrayed his brother, maybe he will also appear, so you have to be careful. ”

"Hmm." You Hongzhuo's heart calmed down a little, nodded, and after a while, his heart couldn't help but surge again: "The Black Flag Army was powerful a few years ago, only they can resist the golden dog and not be defeated, if they can appear again in Zezhou, it will be a big deal......"

"In the three-year war of Xiaocanghe, the Central Plains lost its vitality, and the Huaxia Army could not be spared. Two years ago, the demon died in battle, the black flag retreated south, and then the rest of the army was rooted in Tubo, Sichuan and Shu, and the border with Dali. Mr. Zhao said, turning the page of the book in his hand, "As for Wang Shitong, it is difficult to say whether he is the remnants of the Black Flag, even if it is, the chaos in the Central Plains is difficult to recover, and the Black Flag Army has finally left some strength, it should not be exposed for this matter." ”

“…… Why? You Hongzhuo hesitated.

"How good can it be to be exposed? The Wu Dynasty retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and the so-called Great Qi in the Central Plains was just an empty shelf, and the Jin people would come south again sooner or later. Two years ago, the Black Flag was defeated, and the rest of the people shrank in the corner of the southwest, and the Wu Dynasty, Tubo, and Dali did not dare to touch it for a while, and no one knew how much power it had, but ...... Once it comes out, it will inevitably be a blow to the Bolang towards the Jin Kingdom, and the power left in the Central Plains, of course, will only be useful at that time. At this time, not to mention some lurking forces, even if the Black Flag occupies the Central Plains, it is nothing more than the brunt of the future war......"

When Mr. Zhao said this, he stopped his words and shook his head: "These things are not necessarily, and we will see it when the time comes...... Go ahead, practice your swordsmanship, and rest early. ”

You Hongzhuo said goodbye and left, he returned to his room, his eyes were still a little confused. This inn is not small, but it is already a little dilapidated, there are voices from upstairs and downstairs, the air is dull, You Hongzhuo sat for a while, practiced in the room for a while, and after that, his heart was not very quiet.

In fact, what really touched him suddenly was not Mr. Zhao's words about the black flag, but a simple sentence "Sooner or later, the golden people will come south again".

There were many things that he had never thought about much in the past when he was still young. After the family was ruined, he killed the group of monks, stepped into the outside world, and he could still look at this river and lake with novel eyes, fantasizing about the future of chivalry and righteousness into a generation of heroes, and won the admiration of the people of the rivers and lakes. Later, he was chased and killed, hungry, and naturally he didn't have too many thoughts, but he had been together for the past two days, and when he heard Mr. Zhao's words today, suddenly, he felt a little illusory in his heart.

When the Jin people came back on a large scale, there was a new conquest of their own.

-- All of this will never be in the future.

He is a person who practices martial arts, and he is not taboo about fighting and killing, and even the dead, and he did not feel much when he saw people dying on the road, dry fields, those beggars, and even those things that he was about to starve to death. The world is like this, nothing surprising, however, when I think that these things in front of me will not be there, I suddenly feel that it is actually very miserable.

He thought about this, and when he practiced his sword that night, he gradually became more and more energetic, thinking that if there was any more chaos in the future, it would be nothing more than death. In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was dark, he got up early again and practiced his sword technique dozens of times in the courtyard of the inn.

After breakfast on this day, the three of them set off again and embarked on the road to Zezhou. The summer is scorching, the official road that has been in disrepair for a long time is not easy to walk, the surrounding low grass and low trees, the low mountains are wide and horizontal, and occasionally see the village, but also look desolate and decadent, this is the ordinary atmosphere in the troubled times, the pedestrians on the road are three or three twos, there are a lot more than yesterday, obviously they are all travelers going to Zezhou, among them also met a lot of green forest people with swords, and some of them have a special yellow cloth belt tied around their waists, but it is the symbol of the worldly disciples and protectors of the Great Light Sect.

When I was traveling until noon on that day, I saw a caravan of horses, horses, and soldiers coming from the road.

The team of soldiers is about three or five hundred people, guarding the carriage of several nobles of the Jin country, where they go, they make passers-by kneel and bow their heads, You Hongzhuo and the other three people rested on the hillside near the post road, just looking at this scene from afar, when the convoy passed, I also saw that the carriage curtain in the center of the team was blown open by the wind, and there was a rare and gorgeously dressed girl poking her head out, although it was a golden person, it didn't look very hideous.

"If I were down there, I would probably be able to cut her head with a knife......

You Hongzhuo's young temperament, seeing that the people in this carriage and horse were forced to bow down all the way, he was the most indignant. Thinking so, I saw that someone in the crowd suddenly burst into trouble, and a hidden arrow shot at the woman in the car. The man got up suddenly, and many people had not yet reacted, but the next moment, it was a soldier on horseback by the carriage who pounced on him and blocked the hidden arrow with his body, and the soldier fell to the ground, and the people around him reacted and rushed towards the assassin.

The Assassin missed the arrow, and fled under the cover of the surrounding crowd. The soldiers of the escort rushed over, and for a moment the surroundings seemed to explode, and the civilians kneeling there blocked the way of the soldiers, and were rushed into a pool of blood. The Assassin flew up the hillside, and a large number of soldiers then drew their bows and fired arrows, which fired two rounds of arrows, killing several civilians, and the Assassin was hit in the back with two arrows and fell dead among the rubble of the hillside.

The abrupt assassination changed the atmosphere around the post, and the people around them trembled, and soldiers ran around, cutting off the heads of the Assassins, while hunting down fellow Assassins among the surrounding greeners. The soldier who sacrificed himself to defend the arrows of the golden man did not die, and after a little inspection, the surrounding soldiers cheered.

This group of soldiers is all Han Chinese.

On this day's journey, there was only such a small episode. The three of them were not affected, and when they arrived at Deshen, in front of the winding official road, an earthy yellow ancient city surrounded by rivers had already appeared in view, and Zezhou had arrived.

Zezhou is the geographical key point of the Central Plains Taihang and Heshuo, Xiongzhen in southern Hebei, surrounded by water on all sides, and the city is solid. Since Tian Hu occupied, it has been carefully managed, and at this time it has been the border of the Tiger King's territory. During this period of time, because Wang Shitong was escorted over, the army under Tian Hu and the people in the surrounding green forests all gathered here, and Zezhou City also strengthened the city defense and vigilance, and for a while, the atmosphere outside the city was quite lively.

It was quite troublesome to guard and check the city gate where the soldiers gathered, and it took some time for the group of three to enter the city. Zezhou has an important geographical location, a long history, the buildings in the city can be seen to be some years, the market is dirty and old, but there are many pedestrians, and at this time, the most visible in front of you are still the soldiers who have taken off their armor but do not understand their uniforms, they are in groups of three or five, wandering among the city streets, making loud noise.

The three of them found an inn in the city to stay, You Hongzhuo inquired a little, and then he knew the development of things, but he was somewhat dumbfounded for a while.

-- The anti-thief king Shitong and a group of henchmen were taken to Zezhou the day before yesterday, and they were ready to be beheaded six days later. The person in charge of escorting the thieves over was Sun Qi, a general under the command of the Tiger King, who led his 50,000 troops, together with the 20,000 troops originally stationed here, all stationed in Zezhou at this time, sitting in the surrounding areas.

Nowadays, there are 70,000 troops under the command of the Tiger King gathered in Zezhou alone, although most of these troops are arranged to be stationed in the barracks outside the city, but after the great victory with the "hungry ghosts", the military discipline of the army is not very good, and a large number of soldiers enter the city every day, or prostitutes, drink or make trouble. It also made Zezhou at this time a little more lively.

It's just that the 70,000 army is in charge, whether it is the green forest people who have gathered, or the rumored remnants of the black flag, how big waves can they set off here at this time?

The sun was setting, shining on the simple earthen building of the small inn in Zezhou, and for a while, You Hongzhuo, who had just arrived, was a little confused. Upstairs, the Black Wind Shuangsha Zhao couple pushed open the window and watched the quaint city hidden in a quiet blood-colored afterglow.

The liveliness in the city also represents a rare prosperity, which is a rare and peaceful moment.

************

If there is a supreme existence in this world, in his eyes, the world may be countless running lines, which appear, develop, collide, bifurcate, twist and turn, annihilate, and continue over time......

The Central Plains, eight years after the founding of the Wu Dynasty and six years after the Great Qi Dynasty, was a land of chaos and loss of much order, and in this land, the rise and fall of power, the successes and failures of careerists, the convergence and dispersion of crowds, no matter how bizarre and abrupt, were no longer surprising.

Because of the lack of reason for the dispersion, all major events seem to be ordinary, of course, perhaps only the participants in every gathering can feel the suffocating heaviness and unforgettable pain.

The Central Plains, Wasion, is now a pivotal place in the Central Plains.

Because the king of Jin, Tian Hu, was set to be here.

King Jin, commonly known as the Tiger King, was originally born as a hunter and rose up when the Wu Dynasty was still flourishing, occupying an area as king. In all fairness, his strategy is not deep, all the way, whether it is a rebellion, or enclosure, the emperor does not seem smart, but time is long, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and his contemporaries of the thief or the hero have withdrawn from the stage of history, but the tiger king took advantage of the opportunity of the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, relying on his clumsiness and maneuvering and forbearance, laid a big country, and the foundation is getting deeper and deeper.

For more than ten years, although they were still nominally under the command of Liu Yu of Great Qi, the leaders of many forces in the Central Plains understood that in terms of strength alone, the strength of the Tiger King had already been much higher than that of the nominal Great Qi court. A few years after the establishment of the Great Qi, he occupied a large area on the north bank of the Yellow River, immersed in development, in this chaotic situation in the world, maintained the most peaceful area north of the Yellow River and even north of the Yangtze River.

Of course, even so, there will be struggles in the court of King Jin.

In the more than ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the court of King Jin has experienced dozens or even dozens of large and small political struggles, and one by one the rookies who have risen in the Tiger King system have fallen, and a group of court celebrities have gained and lost power, which is also a rough regime will inevitably have a test. In May of the eighth year of the founding of the Wu Dynasty, Weisheng's court experienced another turbulence, and an "old man" who had been quite used under the Tiger King's tent fell. For everyone in the court, this is not a big matter.

In parallel with this incident, hundreds of thousands of hungry ghosts migrated and invaded the border outside the borders of the Jin king's territory, so at the end of May, the tiger king ordered a large army to be dispatched - and now, this matter has also had a result.

Victory.

It was getting late, and the whole city of Wasion seemed to be prosperous, but there were groups of soldiers constantly patrolling the streets of the city, and the law and order were extremely strict. Where the Tiger King is located, the palace "Tianji Palace", which has been built for more than ten years, is also heavily guarded. Hu Ying, the minister of power, passed through the overlapping corridors of Tianji Palace, and after being reported by the guards all the way, he saw Tian Hu, the tiger king sitting in the palace.

He had come to report on a series of the most important events of recent times, including the progress in Zezhou. The "Ghost King" Wang Shitong is the most critical part of a series of actions under King Jin this time.

“…… At present, it has been confirmed that this Wang Shitong was indeed the remnant of the black flag in the Xiaocang River, and now there is no obvious movement in the remnants of the black flag in the Zezhou area, and the people of the green forest have passed a lot under the instigation of the Great Bright Sect, but there is no need to worry. The rest of the places have been closely monitored......"

Hu Ying reported the situation one after another, Tian Hu listened quietly over there, his sturdy body stood up, he looked at Hu Ying coldly for a long time, and finally slowly went to the window.

"The heart demon Ning Yi is indeed the devil in the hearts of people, Hu Qing, I have been preparing for this matter for two years, the black flag is not removed, I am in the Central Plains, and it is difficult to make a big move. If you keep an eye on this matter, I won't treat you badly. ”

"The minister has been preparing for this matter for two years, and he will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

When Hu Ying was loyal, Tian Hu looked at the scenery outside the window with fierce eyes. Two years ago, the death of the heart demon Ning Yi made the world stunned, but the ensuing many information, but also made the Central Plains region of many forces unable to advance or retreat, like a fish in the throat, these two years, although the Central Plains region for the black flag, Ning Yi and other things do not mention much, but all the rising forces in this place are actually worried, no one knows, how many black flag chess pieces, since five years ago, has been quietly infiltrating the interior of every force.

What is clear, however, is that these things are not groundless. In the past two years, whether it is Liu Yu's Great Qi court or the Tiger King's court, in fact, more or less, they have caught or discovered the shadow of the remnants of the black flag.

After two years of peace and chaos, Tian Hu, the king of Jin, who has the deepest control over his own strength, finally began to take action, wanting to pull out the stinger that pierced into his body in one fell swoop!

There is something in the wind. The entire Tiger King's territory has actually become sparse and quiet. )
