Chapter 6: The Sting (Ten Times)

"Clever! is worthy of being a hussar general, that is, he is clever! While following everyone to straighten out the armor and weapons, Wang Xun was thinking wildly in his heart.

By this time, he no longer felt the impermanence of the world, and he hid in the camp of White Horse Fort, and finally did not escape the storm in the capital. What he sighed was that His Majesty the Emperor had a clever move. did not crack down on Li Linfu, the prime minister who colluded with the generals of the border towns and covered the sky with one hand, and did not clean up the tyrannical and domineering Jingzhao Yin Wangji, who was in charge of the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses, but lightly hit the lore and pointed at the Wang Gong of Hubu Langzhong!

Everyone in the capital knows that Wang Lu in Hebu Langzhong is the younger brother of Jing Zhao Yin Wang Gong. If this person's charge of rebellion is confirmed, how can Wang Ji get out of the relationship?! But if Wang Gong took action to stop Gao Lishi from attacking his younger brother, it would be even more ghostly, which was equivalent to putting the charge of rebellion on his head.

Ke Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji has been deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor for nearly thirty years! Who made His Majesty the Emperor suspicious of him? Frowning tightly, Wang Xun couldn't guess who was the real ruler, and he actually laid out such a wonderful game? Thirty years of trust is not something that can be broken casually. Although it must have been the emperor himself who ordered Gao Lishi to mobilize the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army! The reorganization of the Flying Dragon Guards at the beginning was also because His Majesty the Emperor sensed that the power of a few powerful ministers was too great, and it was already possible to threaten his safety!

There must be a guy who came up with enough evidence to prompt the killer in the Taiji Palace. And the insidiousness of this person's move far exceeded everyone's imagination. Wang Ji and Li Linfu have been in cahoots and jointly controlled the government for 15 years, and how many political opponents have been ruined? Yang Guozhong relied on his sister who was favored by the harem, and rose rapidly, but in the court, he was always blocked by Li Linfu and Wang Jie. When Wang Ji fell, Li Linfu's position was also in jeopardy. If Yang Guozhong took advantage of this opportunity to attack again, the enemies would take advantage of the situation to push the wall.......

It is impossible for Yang Guozhong to let go of the opportunity sent to the door! Even a stupid guy like himself can see the situation, and who can hide it? Thinking of this section, Wang Xun couldn't help but laugh dumbly. There's no need to keep thinking about it, it's not something you can figure out at all! It has nothing to do with myself at all! The gods fight, and the more they win, the better. The more they can't hold each other, the more they will be tossed with stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Unlike Wang Xun's thoughts, for most of the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard, Gao Lishi's sentence, "Gao has accompanied His Majesty for more than 40 years......." is what they are most concerned about. From the time when His Majesty the Emperor was still the crown prince, Gao Lishi was his confidant. Eradicate Princess Taiping, cull the rebellion of Quan Chubi, and in one palace battle after another, this person has rushed to the forefront on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor every time. If there is really someone trying to rebel among the hundred civil and military officials of the Jingshi, that person is definitely not Gao Lishi. For no one can give a eunuch a higher position than a hussar general, except today. No one can put his heart on a eunuch for more than 40 years like today!

In this case, it doesn't matter who Gao Lishi wants to kill. Whether it is Tobe Langzhong or Long Wujun Lang, even if he wants to eradicate Li Linfu, the prime minister of the dynasty, it doesn't matter! As long as it's not a rebellion! Everyone will follow him and kill him, and make sure that there is merit to be earned! Driven by similar thoughts, the morale of the generals was high. One by one, they crossed the horse and carried the knife, followed Gao Lishi out of the White Horse Fort camp, and galloped towards Chang'an City to kill.

Along the way, another quite capable team came to converge, and it was from a palace that was on the verge of being abandoned not far away. The team was also led by a eunuch named Cui Guangyuan. It was obvious that there had been an agreement with Colliers in advance, and the two soldiers and horses were immediately merged into one. A total of more than 400 people. Most of the soldiers went out of their own palace to guard, and the officers at all levels, from the commander of the unified army to the commander of the army, were completely composed of the flying dragon guards temporarily pulled out of the White Horse Fort by Gao Lishi.

What is rare is that Gao Lishi and Feng Changqing are two experienced generals, and they started to adjust while hurrying. When the army came to the Qixia Gate on the south side of Chang'an City, it had firmly controlled the team.

There are three city gates on the south side of Chang'an City, and the Mingde Gate is dedicated to the Son of Heaven and is rarely opened. Civil and military officials and ordinary people in the market entered and exited from the two side doors of Anhua and Qixia. The military general on duty on the tower of Qixiamen City is named Xue Guigui, who is the henchman of Jingzhao Yin Wangji. More than two months ago, Wang Xun, Lei Wanchun and others beat up Wang Zhun and his domestic slaves at the gate of the city. Today, I suddenly saw Gao Lishi holding the sword of Shang Fang, leading more than 400 elites in armor to kill, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even say a complete sentence, his body shook, and he collapsed directly in the doorway.

"Cheng Yuanzhen, you take ten people to control this door. The people are allowed to enter and exit as usual, but not a single armed person is allowed to pass under the city gate, if something goes wrong, we want your head!! Gao Lishi kicked away Xue Guigui, whose face was like earth, and ordered in a deep voice.

"You old man can rest assured! Wrap it up on the villain! Cheng Yuanzhen, the eunuch of the inner palace, coquettishly agreed, led a team of soldiers, and strode onto the city tower.

There is a way to be a soldier and a bear, and a nest of bears. There were originally a hundred defenders stationed on the Qixia Gate, and when the alarm bell was sounded at a critical moment, thousands of dragon warrior soldiers could be transferred from the nearby military camp to the city to assist in the defense. But the main general Xue Guigui was frightened stupid by Gao Lishi, who was holding Shang Fang's sword, how could the other soldiers dare to act rashly? can only obediently get out of the way of the city horse road, and watch a feminine little eunuch Zhen take over Qixiamen.

More than 100 armor soldiers are not as good as a eunuch under our command. Gao Lishi nodded in satisfaction and led the rest of the soldiers and horses to continue on their way. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Xue Precious once. When everyone was far away, Xue Guigui, who was paralyzed, got up from the ground with difficulty, looked at the whereabouts of Gao Lishi, and cried in his mouth: "Prince, prince, you can't blame Xue for today's events!" It's your old man who doesn't even have an idea, so what can Xue do! How dare Xue! ”

After crying, he actually took off all the helmets, armors, waist cards, and swords on his body and put them in a pile, and walked away without looking back. The prison gate made Cheng Yuanzhen see clearly on the enemy tower, and he didn't have the heart to send troops to chase him.

There was such a big commotion near Qixia Gate, and according to common sense, the defenders in the Mingde Gate should have heard the news a long time ago and sounded the alarm. But today, the city tower of Mingde Gate is also quiet, Chen Xuanli, the general of the Longwu Army, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and closed his eyes against the bronze bell used to warn. With such a big Buddha sitting in the town, the other generals in the Longwu Army did not dare to act rashly, holding on to the railing of the city tower, looking at the whereabouts of Gao Lishi and others and shaking their heads.

Some people are arrogant. I always feel that my power is too great. But gradually forgetting where his power comes from? When the source has been cut off, even if the mechanism is exhausted, how many more days can it be tossed?!

Almost in the eyes of the Longwu army, the hussar general Gao Lishi led four hundred armor soldiers to the door of the door of the king of Hubu Langzhong. The Wang family has long been in a mess, with men and women carrying large bags and small wraps, crowded at the door in a chaotic manner. When he saw more than 400 armor soldiers on tall horses rushing towards him, he was immediately frightened, "Oops! "With a bang, the birds and beasts scattered.

Seeing that the Wang family had become like this, Gao Lishi guessed that the main owner must have gotten the news and ran away. But the monk couldn't run away from the temple, so he sent two groups of armor soldiers to the left and right, and blocked all the servants of the Wang family who tried to escape for their lives. One of the middle-aged men who looked like a housekeeper didn't wait for Gao Lishi to ask, and immediately knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life, we are all subordinates, and we don't know what the head of the family is doing?" ”

"We don't care if you know it or not!" Gao Lishi sneered, and the horse whip pointed out, "That's the matter of the Yamen of Chang'an County!" All we have to do is ask you, where did your master run away! ”

"Master, master......" The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and finally was reluctant to accompany the head of the family to the tribulation, and said in a low voice: "An hour ago, the master was invited by General Xing to play chess at home. At this time, it should still be over there! ”

"Who told you to wait for something to happen to the Wang family? Why are you running? Colliers frowned and continued to ask.

"Yes, yes......" The butler kowtowed a few times and responded with a crying voice, "Just now, Yang Guozhong led the guards to come. didn't catch the master, and went to Xing's house to kill again! ”

"This guy ......" Gao Lishi secretly scolded Yang Guozhong in his heart for not having enough success and more than failing. His face was reluctant to show it, he gritted his teeth, and quickly pushed his mount towards the west, "Follow me, go to Jinchengfang and continue to catch the thief!" ”

"No!" Finding that the opponent was so vulnerable, the morale of the soldiers became more and more high, and they agreed, and followed the Colliers horse to the target.

Jinchengfang is located in the northwest of Chang'an City, only one square away from the imperial city. In an instant, all the soldiers slapped their horses and killed, but they only saw a weapon drop from the mouth of the fangzi, and several guys wearing the uniforms of Jiannan Jiedu envoys fought around a coral tree more than three feet high. (Note 1)

"What's going on?" Enraged, Colliers jumped off his mount, whipped his horsewhip, and whipped at several tooth soldiers vying for the coral trees.

"You, you dare to hit me!" Several tooth soldiers were stunned, and instinctively lowered their heads to pick up their weapons, but they were knocked to the ground by Li Yuanqin, Zhao Huaixu and others. In front of the bright and flickering spear front, they finally regained some of their senses, froze their heads, and shouted loudly: "Don't do it, don't do it." That's it for you. In Wang's house, there are so many treasures that everyone can't use knives! ”

"You shit!" Even Zhou Laohu, who has always been more tolerant of his subordinates, couldn't stand it, took a few steps forward, and rewarded the other party with a big mouth, "Open your dog's eyes and see, who is standing in front of you?" Where did the ruler go? Why did you leave a few of you wastes here, embarrassing! ”

"Ahh Several tooth soldiers covered their swollen cheeks and looked at them intently. Only then did he recognize that the person who had been whipping people before was a eunuch wearing the armor of a great general. The melon seeds in their heads immediately "buzzed" three inches bigger, and they knelt on the ground one by one, begging for mercy loudly: "I don't know if the high hussar is coming, I'll be damned." The hussar general raised his noble hand ......"

"your grandma's noble hand!" Gao Lishi raised his leg and kicked the nearest knotted tooth soldier to the ground, "Lao Tzu doesn't have time to take care of you and wait." Where did Yang Jiedu go? Has the thief been caught? ”

"Run, run!" Several other tooth soldiers hurriedly stopped begging for mercy and scrambled to answer, "I ran to the southwest, and the Jiedu envoy ordered me to wait here to seal the door." It is forbidden for any idle people to wait for ......"

Speaking of this, they finally got up a little embarrassed, grinned, and explained with a sneer: "The villains are all from the south of the sword, no, I haven't seen so many treasures." Yes, I want to carry one to the concubine and send it to the palace......"

Even if they didn't carry the concubine out of the house, Gao Lishi didn't have the heart to deal with them. The other party is Yang Guozhong's personal guard, and he has to take into account the owner's face when beating dogs. Besides, now that the two rebels are all gone, who is in the mood to embarrass a few garbage soldiers?

Hopping on his mount, Colliers led a group of guards along the alley adjacent to Jinchengfang, straight south. This time, it didn't take too much time to identify the whereabouts of the Qin criminals. Because every dozen or twenty steps, everyone can see a pool of blood next to the alley. Those who are rolling in a pool of blood are either the Jiedu envoys, or the servants of Chang'an City, or the pawns of the Longwu Army, and the injuries on their bodies may not be immediately fatal. One by one, they shouted heartbreakingly.

"Such goods, no wonder Yan Jiming looks down on them!" Seeing the appearance of the daily guards of Chang'an City, Wang Xun felt blushing. Just this kind of goods, ordinary people are actually used to defend the Jingshi? There are really foreign enemies coming, it doesn't take too much, there are 5,000 elites like the Anxi Army, and Chang'an City can be easily taken.

Suddenly, he remembered the dispute between Zhang Xun and Zhou Xiaofeng and others at the banquet more than two months ago. At that time, he also felt that Xiao Zhang Tanhua was too worrying. Now compared with the actual situation, I'm afraid no one can deny that Xiao Zhang Tanhua's worries that day are very reasonable.

"The land of Gyeonggi has not heard the sound of soldiers for nearly 30 years...... "In a trance, Gao Yi's words also rang in Wang Xun's ears." His Majesty was already aware of this, so he entrusted General Feng to reorganize the Flying Dragon Guard......."

It's a pity that Master Gao didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor reorganized the Flying Dragon Guard, not as he thought, he saw the drawbacks of the deployment of the Tang Dynasty's troops, which were real on the outside and virtual on the inside, and was ready to vigorously rectify it. It's just to guard against the powerful ministers' plots.

"If Master Gao knew the truth, I don't know how embarrassing it would be!" Just as they were thinking about it, the team came to a halt. Wang Xun was caught off guard and rushed directly from the center of the team to the front.

"Boy, it's not this brave method!" Zhou Xiaofeng was quick and grabbed Wang Xun's horse reins. "Be careful, there's a veteran with a bow and arrow on the other side!"

"Where?!" Wang Xun asked, only to find that just when he was unable to give up, everyone had already gone around in the capital and chased all the way to the edge of Qujiang Pond.

This place Wang Xun is very familiar with, not far from the location where he fought with Li Bai last time. There are several large mansions in front, all of which are the courtyards of the nobles of the capital. There are very few people living in Pingsu, and only a few martial artists in charge of the courtyard enter and exit through the corner door on the side.

"You kid, you're still distracted at this time, you're really looking for death!" Zhou Xiaofeng quickly discovered the truth, Wang Xun was not in a hurry to show at all, but absent-minded. was so angry that he slapped the other party's helmet fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "In front of the two armies, one negligence is life and death!" Follow me, don't make any more head rafters! ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xun made a lot of effort, and finally settled his chaotic mind. He found that not only were there flying dragon guards who came with him here, but not far from them, there were also more than 200 Jiannan Jiedu envoys. A little farther away, there were nearly a thousand servants dressed in various colors, catching fast, and helping, and the guards of the Longwu Army who were temporarily brought in to patrol the city, gathered in a heap of chaos and buzzed like flies.

In comparison, the Wyvern Forbidden Army ranks were exceptionally neat. Although a large number of palace guards were mixed, those guards had also undergone strict training, and their military appearance was far above that of the other two teams. It was this that Gao Lishi relied on, raised his horsewhip and shouted at the opposite side, "Yang Jiedu, you didn't wait for our family to arrive, so you moved in advance." Why haven't the Qin criminals been arrested yet? Are the tooth soldiers under your Jiannan Jiedu envoy all scrap copper and rotten iron in their hands? ”

"You ......" Hearing this, Yang Guozhong was ashamed and angry. Under the heavy protection of the guards, he rushed to the front of the team, looked at the neat phalanx behind Gao Lishi, and then looked back at the mess behind him, and his arrogance became shorter. arched his hand and replied in a low voice: "Hussar General Mingjian, it's not that Yang is ineffective, but that someone colluded with the Qin prisoner and deliberately pulled Yang's hind legs!" ”

"The surname is Yang, you don't want to fall into the well!" Among the errand teams in Chang'an and Wannian counties, a chubby third-grade officer also quickly came out, pointing at Yang Guozhong and scolding. "The old man has already handed over his brother, what else do you want? Although the old man has suffered a lot of injustice today, His Majesty Shengming, sooner or later, one day, will take a double look with his eyes! ”

"It's Jing Zhao Yin Wang Ji!" Ma Fang immediately ripped off the cloak behind Wang Xun and reminded in a low voice. "This big fat man is Jing Zhao Yin Wang Jie, I once saw him at a banquet. His grandmother's is still so arrogant at this time! ”

"He felt fearless!" Wang Xun thought about it and responded in a low voice. "Don't talk too much, let's take a good look at the rare!"

"Hmm!" Pony nodded slightly. Half a year ago, Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji was instructed by Li Linfu to hit Xungui's children with heavy punches in the Jingshi, causing him to be innocently beaten on the board. More than two months ago, Wang Zhun, the son of Wang Jie, bullied people and robbed and killed Bai Jingzhi, Ma Fang ran out to fight unevenly, and was beaten by his father when he returned home. After careful calculation, the two boards were caused by the dead fat man Wang Ji in front of him, and he was able to see him unlucky at this moment, Ma Fang felt how happy he was.

At this moment, Yu Wenzhi's mood is better than that of Ma Fang. The prison disaster half a year ago almost cost him his life. After being released from prison, the person he hated the most was this Jing Zhaoyin. Seeing that the other party was dying and didn't know how to wake up, he couldn't help sneering slightly, and his fingers quietly touched the bow naan on his waist.

"Don't move. Wait for the general's order! "It's still Zhou Xiaofeng, and he almost has eyes on the back of his head. Without looking back, he stopped Yu Wenzhi's recklessness in time.

Yu Wenzhi had no choice but to shrug his shoulders whimsily, put the half-drawn carved feather back in its place, and stroked the bowstring with his fingers, patiently watching how Yang Guozhong, Gao Lishi and Wang Ji were intriguing. I saw Yang Guozhong take half a step back, turned his head sideways and shouted to Gao Lishi: "General, look." He was like this before, saying that he and the Qin prisoner Wang Lu were wronged. Arresting people is not allowed to stop the officials. As a result, the thief Xing Wei led the dead party to rush out, and the officials under his command immediately got out of the way! ”

"The surname is Yang, you don't want to spew blood!" "The surname is Yang, Xing Wei clearly broke through from your side!" Behind Wang Jie, there was a burst of scolding immediately. Jia Jilin, the head catcher of Chang'an County, Xue Rongguang, the head catcher of Wannian County, and a group of minions who were raised by Wang Ji on weekdays, seven were not satisfied, and eight should not refute.

"Huh?" With a cold snort, Colliers silenced all the noise. "Who's making a loud noise, stand up and say! Who, stand up for our family! ”

Hearing this, Jing Zhao Yin Wang Ji also immediately turned his head, full of expectations that the loyal dogs he had raised would come forward to speak for his master. Unexpectedly, Xue Rongguang and others dared to stand in the crowd and make a fuss, but no one had the courage to directly face Gao Lishi's anger. Seeing this scene, Yang Guozhong was very happy, stepped forward half a step, and bowed his hand again to Gao Lishi, "General, your old man can see it clearly this time." It's just such a bunch of waste, and they actually want to learn from others to rebel......"

"Who do you say rebelled!" Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji was in a hurry, and immediately pulled out his weapon to pounce, and Xue Rongguang and the others behind him also found that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, hula, rushed out of the team, and rushed towards Yang Guozhong.

The tooth soldiers behind Yang Guozhong also refused to show weakness, and immediately drew their swords to meet them. Seeing that the two sides were about to have a firefight, Gao Lishi's eyebrows suddenly rose upward, took Shang Fang's sword from the guard's hand, and raised it high, "Flying Dragon Guard, listen to my orders!" ”

"No!" More than 400 armorers, armed to the teeth, shouted in unison, leveled their horses, and pointed straight ahead.

A surging murderous aura gushed out, and before it could be launched, it had already rushed to Yang Guozhong and Wang Jie, and dispersed to both sides like a tide.

"Two troops and horses in front, the origin is unknown......." Seeing that the other two teams were frightened by the Wyvern Guards, Gao Lishi deliberately lengthened his voice and did not trigger it.

"Don't don't, don't do it, Yang will listen to you!"

"General, general, I have something to say!" Yang Guozhong and Wang Ji saw that the soldiers and horses under their hands were not angry, and immediately surrendered and begged for mercy.

"The old man is only on the orders of His Majesty, no matter what the two of them are!" Gao Lishi sneered and glanced at the other party a few times, emphasizing loudly.

"It should be, it should be. The two of us also acted by divine decree! Yang Guozhong and Wang Ji spoke in unison, and it was rare to cooperate with each other once.

"Huh?" Colliers paused for a moment. Although Yang Guozhong was eager to seize the credit, he launched a culling of the rebellion in advance. But the emperor did give him an order, asking him to cooperate with him in arresting the traitor. Jing Zhao Yin Wang Ji is obviously the traitor's own brother, how can he also act on orders?

"Divine Decree, take it out quickly! Show it to the general! Lest Gao Lishi not believe in himself, Wang Ji wiped his sweat and commanded loudly. The weather in April was not very hot at all, but his face was already sweating into a small river.

Immediately, a cronie took out the holy decree wrapped in yellow satin and raised his hands in front of the Colliers. This thing can't be faked in front of Colliers. After serving by the emperor's side for forty years, as long as his eyes swept the surface of the decree, without looking at the imprint of the contents, Colliers could distinguish its authenticity from falsehood.

"Hmm!" Colliers hesitated. As the emperor's favorite eunuch, he was very aware of the temperament of the master behind him. Since after ordering himself and Yang Guozhong to lead a team to arrest Wang Lu of Hubu Langzhong, he quickly issued another holy decree to Wang Jie, which shows that His Majesty himself is also very hesitant about the accusation of rebellion against the Wang brothers. At the very least, he is also prepared to leave a way for King Ji of Jingzhao Yin.

Figuring out the Sacred Heart is the first priority of being a eunuch. Guessing that His Majesty the Emperor had begun to hesitate in his heart, Gao Lishi immediately became unassertive. Who would have expected that at this time, Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji stepped forward a few steps, and knelt in front of the Colliers horse, "Hussar General, Wang has also been a courtier of His Majesty for more than 30 years, how can he easily live up to the grace of God?" Wang has already tricked his younger brother out of Xingfu and tied him to the back of the team. I hope that the general will read the relationship between the two of us who have known each other for many years, and give Wang a chance to prove his innocence! ”

After that, he kept kowtowing and burst into tears. and the previous arrogant appearance is like a judgment of the two.

This kind of wrecked Wang Jie, in Wang Xun's eyes, feels even more disgusting than the arrogant and domineering Wang Jiao just now. The arrogant Wang Gong just now is at least worthy of the robe of the third-grade master on his body. At this moment, Wang Jie, who was wagging his tail and begging for mercy, made people want to step forward and kick him a few more times.

"Official!" Su Shenxing, who has never liked to talk, coldly came out of his mouth with two words.

"Official!" There are no words to describe the scene at this moment, more apt than these two words. Wang Xun, Ma Fang and the others raised their eyes and looked at each other, and a feeling of indescribability surged in their hearts. Half a year ago, after discovering for the first time that the power behind them was unreliable, several of them all coincidentally believed that only by becoming an official and a high-ranking official could they ensure that they would not be bullied by others. And now, Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, Imperial Doctor and Jing Zhaoyin, Taiyuan County Prince, Palace Supervisor, Xian Yi Envoy, Longyou County Pastoral Supervisor, Tianxia Hukou Servant, Heshi Heshi, Fangzuo, Yuanyuan, Changchun Palace, Zhijie, Gyeonggi and Guannai interviewed and deposed the envoys, such as Wang Jie, knelt in front of the horses like a Laipi dog.

Seeing Wang Jie's appearance of being slaughtered, Gao Lishi felt both happy and unbearable. After thinking about it, he changed his tone and said, "If you believe in your innocence, don't delay our family to catch the thief." Afterwards, His Majesty asked, and our family will naturally play your performance truthfully today. As you know, Your Majesty has always been generous to his courtiers. As long as you have nothing to do with the rebellion, you will definitely be given justice! ”

"Thank you Hussar, thank you Hussar!" Jing Zhao Yin Wang Ji kowtowed two more times before he got up from the ground. turned his face to the errands, helpers, and thugs he brought, and ordered loudly, "Don't bring the Ninth Master and Wang Lu over and hand it over to General Gao!" ”

"Grandpa!" Wei Wei Shaoqing Wang Zhun stopped loudly, but Wang Ji glared back at the following words fiercely. The incident happened suddenly, and the Wang family's forces in the Longwu army and the barracks in various parts of Gyeonggi were too late to mobilize. In front of him, there were only a thousand handfuls of errands, helpers, thugs, and stragglers patrolling the streets. A hundred of these things are tied together, and they can't be up to a Wyvern Praetorian Guard recruit, what else can they do except forbear for the time being?

Wang Zhun was stunned, and then looked at the earth-colored entourage around him, so he had to close his mouth tightly. Several messengers escorted Wang Kun, who was tied up with five flowers, out and handed him over to Gao Lishi's personal guards. Wang Ji glanced at his younger brother, then at the four hundred flying dragon guards behind Gao Lishi, sighed, turned around and flashed to the side of the road.

Seeing this, the errand officers and helpers of Chang'an and Wannian counties, as well as the soldiers who were temporarily pulled from the street by the Wang family, also put away their weapons and retreated to the side of the road. Some people are very unwilling, but most people secretly wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads and exhale a long breath. Finally liberated, who is the thief, who is innocent, and what does it have to do with us people? Promotion and wealth may not be our turn, but if we are not careful, we may take our lives. Which emperor ascended the throne and did not need local officials? Which adult is in power and doesn't need to patrol the streets to catch thieves at the doorstep? It's better to go home honestly and wait for the superiors to come down and talk about it! It's okay to mix things that have nothing to do with you, isn't that idleness!

Seeing that Gao Lishi's words forced Wang Gong to disband the team, Yang Guozhong was overjoyed, and immediately hugged Gao Lishi and took the initiative to ask for help, "The general came from afar, and he must be a little tired." The thief Xing Wei and his minions hid in the mansion in front of them. Please let the end of the army lead people to kill for a while! ”

"You-" Colliers touched his slippery chin, a little unconvinced. Yang Guozhong immediately felt humiliated, arched his hand, and said loudly: "Please wait and see, General!" ”

Leaving this hard sentence, he immediately regrouped his team and launched another onslaught on the mansion in front of him. The quality of these tooth soldiers under his command is really poor, and they are all fat and strong, but they are no different from the scoundrels in the market. Only then did he rush forward more than thirty steps in a chaotic manner, and he was overturned by the archers in the house. The rest let out a scream, turned around, exposed their backs to the enemy, and fled with a crawl.

"Hahaha!" has completely become a bystander's errand servant, and the catchers laughed. I despise Yang Guozhong and the wrecks under his command. In the midst of laughter, Yang Guozhong's face was red, he straightened the iron helmet on top of his head, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me." Lao Tzu is the first to go this time, and the dead bird is ......."

"Alright, alright!" Gao Lishi rode his horse and rushed up, blocking the other party's way, "Lord Yang will rest for a while first, and let our brothers go up." Once you have any mistakes, it is not easy to explain to our family and the concubine! ”

After that, he ignored Yang Guozhong, whose face was suffocated into an eggplant color, and raised Shang Fang's sword high again, "Flying Dragon Guard-"

"Be careful—" Feng Changqing suddenly shouted, rushed forward, and kicked Collis's horse in the neck.

The poor mount was suddenly attacked, screamed, and ran to the side of the road. Almost at the same moment, a pitch-black armor-piercing cone swept past Colliers' shoulder, sparking a spark from the brass plate.

"Protect your lordship!" Thirteen rushed up with a few personal soldiers, and the regiment surrounded Feng Changqing in the center and retreated to the team. Zhou Xiaofeng rode his horse and rushed towards Gao Lishi, reaching out to pull the opponent's frightened mount. Suddenly attacked, Gao Lishi was also frightened and pale, retreated in the crowd for a while, and then arched his hand and thanked Feng Changqing in a low voice: "Thank you Brother Feng for coming to the rescue." Otherwise, our family will be here today. Grandma's, surnamed Xing is really capable, and she can actually attract such a marksman! ”

"This guy just shot two of my right-hand men!" Seeing Gao Lishi suffer, Yang Guozhong felt so comfortable in his heart, and stepped forward with a fake smile.

"One hundred and sixty steps!" Ignoring the schadenfreude in his words, Colliers turned his head and judged against the tall wall in the distance. "In this way, the location of our house just now is at least one hundred and thirty away from the other side. One hundred and thirty steps away, you can aim at our choked voice, this person is really an expert with arrows! ”

"Brother Lei ...... that day!" In the team, Ma Fang suddenly remembered something and secretly muttered to Wang Xun again.

"I'll meet him!" Hearing this, Yu Wenzhi immediately took out the horn bow from under the saddle and took the initiative to walk towards Gao Lishi. Before he could say the words of the invitation, Gao Lishi had already shaken his head and refused, "You are not his opponent!" Although courage is commendable. The riding bow is not as long as the foot bow, you are in the light, and he is in the dark......."

"Ask the general to appoint two more people to divide the god of the guy opposite!" Without waiting for Colliers to finish speaking, Yuwen took the initiative to offer advice.

Colliers glanced at him and frowned slightly. The opponent's marksman has no missing arrows, and the person sent to divide his god will die and be shot through the throat by one of his arrows. Sacrificing the lives of two robes, just to show for himself, this little guy is really vicious.

"Thirteen, you take a few people and go to the neighborhood to dismantle the door panel to make a shield!" Without waiting for Yuwen Zhi to continue to request, Feng Changqing ordered in a low voice. "Captain Zhou, you go and prepare some branches and hay, and prepare to smoke the eyes of those people on the other side. It's a tailwind on our side. Zhao Duwei, Li Duwei, the two of you each take fifty brothers, go in a detour, and block the junction between this house and the other places, so that the thieves will not escape again. The other brethren, dismount, abandon the lance, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat! ”

A series of orders were passed down and executed separately to the letter. Seeing that the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard were like Feng Changqing's arms, they quickly moved up. Gao Lishi secretly screamed admiration in his heart, smiled, and no longer fought for the command of this team. Afraid that the old eunuch would be too careful, Feng Changqing waited for his subordinates to have just come up with a clue, and immediately explained to him with a smile, "The general personally went out to arrest the traitors, if they let one more person escape, wouldn't it damage the general's reputation?" Let the sons and daughters go and get busy first, and the two of us will wait slowly. After they tie up their pockets, how to catch the thief, the general can just stretch out his hand! ”

"No need." Gao Lishi was also open-minded, smiled, and retreated to the willow shade on the side of the road with Feng Changqing. "If he is twenty years younger, the old man will definitely compare his archery skills with the traitor on the other side. And now, hehe, people are not strong in old age! ”

"Then give the juniors a chance to perform!" Feng Changqing nodded, smiled and said his idea. "After a while, I asked Zhou Duwei to light a few piles of cigarettes to cover the sight of the archers in the courtyard. Then as a shield hand, he sneaks under the wall and climbs over it. The others took the opportunity to kill in one fell swoop and rushed straight to the gate....."

"Just chop down a few more big trees to make battering rams!" Colliers thought about it and added with a smile.

"It's a pity, it's a pity for the big willow tree by the lake!" Feng Changqing smiled and nodded

The four hundred Wyvern Janissaries moved quickly, and soon put their ideas into practice. Seeing the orderly movements of the Wyvern guards outside, the stubborn "rebels" in the courtyard knew that there was no way out today, and leaned out half of their bodies from behind the courtyard wall and shouted in unison: "Is it General Colliers?" Please come forward, Xing has something to say! ”

"The general is careful of deception!" Without waiting for Gao Lishi to respond, Wang Jie, who was only left to watch the excitement, rushed forward quickly and stopped loudly.

"Might as well!" Gao Lishi waved his hand slightly, handed Shang Fang's sword to his entourage, carried a horizontal knife himself, and walked out of the shade. Standing up about one hundred and fifty steps away from the enemy, he smiled and shouted loudly: "Gao is here, General Xing, please have something to say!" ”

Feng Changqing was not at ease, and immediately sent several cronies to surround him, ready to use his body to shield Gao Lishi from the cold arrow. Unexpectedly, the sharpshooter on the opposite side had no intention of sneaking up. Grabbing a big bow, he stood on the wall and stood side by side with Xing Wei.

"Sect Leader Wei?" Seeing the tall and thin figure beside Xing Wei, Gao Lishi's eyes were immediately attracted, and he asked urgently.

"It's Wei Jue, who got the second place that day, and Wei Jue who left in a negative mood!" Among the Wyvern Guards, someone immediately recognized the identity of the sharpshooter on the other side, and lowered their voices.

On the same day, he was awarded a position in the school competition, and this person was obviously overwhelmed, but because Gao Lishi was in a bad mood, he was deliberately suppressed and made the second place, and only awarded a Jiupin Sige position. Afterwards, Feng Changqing felt that such a disposition was unfair, and once hired him as the head of the bow and arrow. But after the competition, this person left the barracks in a bad mood and disappeared from the field.

No one expected that he would be a "rebellious" cronie. Or because they were treated unfairly, they took refuge in rebellion!

"Father-in-law Gao, what should our archery be?" The thin and tall Wei Jue obviously remembered the injustice he suffered that day, smiled and asked loudly.

"In terms of archery alone, the old man is not as good as you!" Colliers was stunned again, and then responded loudly. "But because you were wronged, you committed yourself to being a thief. I'm afraid I only deserve to be second! ”

Hearing this, the thin and tall Wei Jue was so angry that his shoulders trembled, and he couldn't wait to immediately take the feather arrow and shoot the old eunuch through it. Wan Cavalry Junlang hugged Xing Wei on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Gao Hussar, then you can look away." This Brother Wei has been working under me for a long time. When I went to White Horse Fort to compete in arrows that day, I was just having fun, and I didn't want to compete for any first place at all. The two of us have indeed harbored different intentions for a long time, but it is not aimed at His Majesty the Emperor, but against them......"

As he spoke, Xing Wei pointed his finger at Yang Guozhong from afar, "Yang Guozhong who invited his sister to pet, Li Linfu who is domineering, and Chen Xilie who has a vegetarian meal on the corpse." Kill this national thief to clear the king's side. Our Datang seems to be full of flowers, but the interior has been eaten empty by these city fox club rats. If Your Majesty doesn't cheer up again, I'm afraid that this country created by countless heroes and heroes with the strength of their lives will be in a catastrophe! ”

"Nonsense!" Yang Guozhong couldn't listen to it anymore, and jumped out and shouted loudly.

"Death is coming, Hugh will spew blood again!" Seeing that the other party didn't climb him casually, Jing Zhao Yin Wang Ji also mustered up a little courage and helped loudly on the side.

The marksman Wei Jue immediately bent his bow and arrows, so frightened that Yang Guozhong ran behind the guards. He slowly moved his bow and arrow towards Wang Jie, which also frightened the other party Zhang Huang to escape. "See, haha!" Wan Qilang laughed loudly, tears slowly flowing down his cheeks. "Look at what kind of ministers Your Majesty relies on? If such a person steals a high position, can the country still prosper? This kind of person fills the court, and those who are really capable, will they still see the day when they come out? Xing only had more than 20 brothers around him today, and he rushed to the battle, and among the thousands of soldiers and horses led by a Jiedu envoy and a Jing Zhaoyin, he broke out. If he has a police officer in Beijing, with such goods, how can he protect His Majesty the Emperor and how can he protect my people in the Tang Dynasty? ”

"You, you, you ......" Yang Guozhong was so angry that he trembled, but he only dared to poke out half of his head from behind the guards and shouted loudly. You're dying, yet, still useless, what nonsense! ”

"Xing knows that he will not be lucky today!" Wan Caijun wiped Xing Wei from his tears and responded with a smile. "But Xing's dignified seven-foot man will not die at the hands of villains like you!"

With that, he pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and wiped it around his neck. Blood splattered when he landed, forcing everyone more than a hundred and fifty paces away to retreat. Knowing that it was impossible for human blood to be poured on his head, he still didn't dare to face the slowly falling corpse.

"Haha, haha, haha!" Marksman Wei Jue hugged Xing Jue and laughed loudly, "Good brother, you go well, Wei is here." ”

Immediately, the corpse was slowly laid flat on the wall. He grabbed a few wolf's tooth arrows and poked them in the lower abdomen. Dengshi stabbed more than half a foot, smiled, and went underground with Xing Wei.

The incident happened suddenly, and Gao Lishi was stunned. When I remembered to persuade the other party not to kill himself, there were only two corpses left on the wall.

"Why don't you rush in and catch the mouth alive!" Seeing that the marksman Wei Jue was dead, Yang Guozhong immediately came to his senses and shouted at the mansion in the distance.

Colliers glared at him and turned his head away. Feng Changqing glared at him and turned his head away. Even Wang Jie, who had already fallen into the limelight, glared at him with disdain. Only the tooth soldiers brought by the Yang family from Jiannan rushed towards the corpse in the distance like flies, scrambling for fear that they would not be able to lick the bloodstains.

Before they could reach the gate of the house, a fire suddenly jumped up in the courtyard. Immediately after, the second, the third, the fourth, the smoke billowed out. Tongues of fire erupted throughout the house. "The Han soldiers went out of the golden micro, shining on the sun and shining in iron clothes. Hundreds of miles of fire flags and flames, thousands of clouds ride and ride. ”

A familiar tune, coming from the sea of fire, hot and hot into everyone's ears outside the walls. Wang Xun's heart twitched violently, as if he had lost something, and he was lost.

This is one of Bai Jingzhi's specialty songs, but it is only sung from Bai Jingzhi's mouth, but it has never been as resolute and majestic as those rebels in the sea of fire.

"Stepping on the Liao River is self-exhausted, and the Yanshan can fly. It belongs to the Quartet to congratulate, and it knows the power of the Ten Thousand Dances. "The flames rose higher and higher, forcing people to dare not come closer. The tooth soldiers under Yang Guozhong rushed several times, but they were all smoked and retreated in a hurry.

"The young man is bold, and he is a hero. Pima Chengnan challenged, and single-handedly Jibei joined the army. The nearby courtyard was soon set on fire by Mars. The owner did not live here, and the servants who guarded the door were busy putting out the fire, but they could not prevent the fire from spreading.

The task of capturing the rebels was soon replaced by firefighting. Gao Lishi, Feng Changqing, Yang Guozhong, and Wang Ji had to join forces and command their subordinates to borrow buckets from nearby people's homes to get water to extinguish the fire.

Following the crowd, Wang Xun carried an empty bucket, but he didn't know to go to the Qujiang River to carry water. The familiar tune lingered in his ears, for a long time, for a long time!

"One drum of Xianbei to send money, five bait to solve disputes. vows to become famous and serve the country, and will be ashamed to open his mouth to talk about honors. In the sad song, countless carved beams and paintings collapsed.
