Chapter 142: The Lame Soldier

、、、、、、、

When he found that someone suddenly burst out and rushed towards him, Xiao Tianjian knew that he was playing big this time, he originally wanted to reflect his pro-people style, take the opportunity to buy the hearts of these scholars, and establish a good image among them, at the same time, he also knew that most of these scholars were going to be eliminated and go back to their hometowns, so he took this opportunity to appease these people by the way. At least let the scholars who came this time see his style and give them a reassurance. ()

That's why he ventured into the scholars and chatted with them, but he didn't think about the possible potential dangers, and now he can be said to be a thorn in the side of the court, a thorn in the flesh, and a sworn enemy of a large number of officials and gentry and rich people in the world, I don't know how many people want his life! There are not tens of millions of people who want him to die in this world, at least hundreds of thousands, so whether it is the imperial court or some extreme people, it is very likely that assassins will be sent to assassinate him.

Jiang Qin has secretly caught more than a dozen fine works sent by the Nanzhili government in the city during this time, and pulled out a network of fine works in the city, when interrogating some of the official offices, some of them can no longer bear the torture, and confess everything they know, and some of them confessed, they were ordered to find a best way to assassinate Xiao Tianjian in Wuchang Mansion and kill Xiao Tianjian, so that the Xingtian Army will become a plate of loose sand, and there will be a situation of seizing power internally, and falling into a situation of civil strife. In the future, it will not be enough to become a big problem for the imperial court.

At this point, many officials and emperors in the imperial court have already seen that Xiao Tianjian is the soul of the Xingtian Army, and the entire Xingtian Army can be said to be condensed with Xiao Tianjian as the core.

But Jiang Qin also found a problem, that is, the fine work captured in Wuchang Mansion this time was not uniformly assigned to one person, but there were many things, both Ding Qirui sent by Nanzhili, and Dongchang sent by Fanzi, obviously they didn't know each other's existence, but they were doing their own thing, but the goal was unified, that is, to find a way to kill Xiao Tianjian.

So Jiang Qin reported the matter to Xiao Tianjian, and asked Xiao Tianjian to be careful, don't show his head often, and run outside to observe the people's situation and inspect the camps when he has nothing to do, but Xiao Tianjian thinks that there are many loyal guards around him to protect him, and he is not a powerless person, although he does not dare to say that he is the kind of fierce general who can take the head of a general in the army of ten thousand horses as if he was probing for something, but at least there are not many people who can take him alone.

What's more, Jiang Qin and the others are doing a good job right now, they have already arrested these people and uprooted two groups of people who tried to assassinate him, so it is not a big problem, so after getting Jiang Qin's warning, he just strengthened the strength of the guards a little, and when he went out, he added a soft armor to his clothes, and continued to go his own way.

But he didn't expect that there were assassins hidden among these soldiers who came to catch the exam, so when the assassin broke out, Xiao Tianjian happened to be unprepared, and when the assassin drew his knife and rushed at him, he basically didn't even have a chance to draw the knife.

Zhao Xueyao is just a very ordinary showman, originally just a broken showman in Gwangju, and also a white-clothed showman, the so-called white-clothed showman is actually a fallen showman, when he participated in the autumn festival in the first few years, he failed to win, and he was quite depressed at home.

Later, Henan civil unrest broke out, Guangzhou was not spared, Zhao Xueyao's family was quite solid, there were dozens of acres of thin fields at home, although it was not rich, but the good life can still be passable, the people were in turmoil together, their family's life was not good, all walks of life and the stars were like the stars near their home, it was inevitable that his family would be harmed, his family was robbed by robbers once, but although his family was a small landlord, but still had a slight good name in the local area, so although the bandits robbed his house, but they read some good names in their family, He didn't do anything too much, but he just forced him to rob his family of dozens of taels of silver, and some of the stored food left on his own, and he didn't beat or scold or hurt anyone.

But I didn't want to really let them break the house is not the rebels or bandits, but Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, the year before last Zuo Liangyu led his troops into Henan, in Qixian County defeated and fled, fled back to Huguang in Guangzhou, just led the remnants of the defeated army to pass through Zhao Xueyao's home, Zuo Liangyu was defeated and fled, almost lost all the food and straw supplies, and relied on robbing along the way, so when passing through Zhao Xueyao's house, indiscriminately, he broke into Zhao Xueyao's home.

Zhao Xueyao's old father theorized with him, and was killed on the spot, Zhao Xueyao's young wife who had just married was a little thin, and was actually robbed and ruined by Zuo Liangyu's men, and all the things that were a little more valuable in the house were robbed, Zhao Xueyao was also broken a leg, and the old mother also saw her husband killed on the spot, so she pounced on it and Zuo Liangyu's men to fight hard, but was also cut into two sections on the spot, and died at home.

Later, after Zhao Xueyao's wife was released home, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river that night, and then Zhao Xueyao learned that even his sister, who had married to a neighboring village, had also suffered a catastrophe and was also ruined and killed by the left army.

So Zhao Xueyao crawled to sue the official, but the officials in Guangzhou heard that it was Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, so they didn't dare to take care of it, and they couldn't manage it, so they drove Zhao Xueyao home and asked him not to make trouble, and he didn't even give a pension, if it weren't for Zhao Xueyao's family having a good reputation in the local area, the neighbors helped him bury his father and wife and take turns to take care of his life, Zhao Xueyao should have died the year before last without a place to be buried.

After Guangzhou was captured by the Xingtian Army this year, Zhao Xueyao learned that Zuo Liangyu, the great enemy, was actually killed in Jingzhou City by Xiao Tianjian, the commander of the Xingtian Army, and avenged his deep hatred, so he cried in the thatched hut that was temporarily erected, and went to the grave of his father and his wife to cry and sacrifice, and then set fire to his own temporary shelter. His legs and feet are not very convenient, it is impossible to be a soldier, fortunately, Zhao Xueyao can write and calculate, and is very familiar with the local situation, so the local Xingtianjun people let him be a scribe to help manage the local affairs in Gwangju, during this time Zhao Xueyao has been helping Xingtianjun to do these things in Gwangju, and he is doing quite well, and now he is wholeheartedly going to follow Xingtianjun.

When I heard that the Xingtianjun was going to open a branch in Wuchang Mansion to take the exam, the people of the Xingtianjun instigated Zhao Xueyao to take the exam in Wuchang, at the beginning Zhao Xueyao was quite hesitant, he didn't want to be an official, in the past, he didn't read less at night, and he also read a lot, originally thought that one day he would be able to be named in the gold list to honor his ancestors, but after experiencing that tragedy, his leg fell and was disabled, and he walked with a limp.

But I didn't think that the people in the surrounding Xingtian Army said that he was talented, and his leg was nothing, so let him try, with his ability, he should be able to pass the exam, in that case, he would no longer have to be a small scribe below, at least he could be an official like a county magistrate, so Zhao Xueyao was instigated to leave for Wuchang to take the exam, and when he left, those colleagues in Gwangju also gave him a ride, and arranged for him to follow the convoy that transported supplies to Wuchang to Wuchang by car.

So Zhao Xueyao limped to Wuchang City, in ancient times, scholars wanted to gain fame, disabled people were generally not recruited, and it was difficult for ugly people to be promoted in the officialdom, Zhao Xueyao actually came, at first he was also hot-headed, and after arriving in Wuchang Mansion, he calmed down and felt cold, so he had the idea of retreating.

But when he saw Xiao Tianjian today, he was very excited, knelt down to thank Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian was a little surprised, so he helped him up and asked him what kindness he had, Zhao Xueyao then told his life experience, Xiao Tianjian heard that Zhao Xueyao is now doing things for Xingtianjun, after hearing his life experience, he was also embarrassed, and took this opportunity to preach the brutality of today's court and official army, and later saw that Zhao Xueyao's leg was a little lame, and he retreated to the back corner of the widow, so he personally walked through the crowd, went to hold Zhao Xueyao's hand and encouraged Zhao Xueyao not to be discouraged, Xing Tianjun wanted a capable person, regardless of whether his leg was disabled or not, as long as he could get good grades in the exam, he could be hired as an official, which made Zhao Xueyao not have any worries.

After Zhao Xueyao listened, the gratitude in his heart naturally needless to say, and hope was rekindled in his heart, as if he was looking up to the gods, he walked back to the front of the crowd, looking up at Xiao Tianjian, his face was full of excitement, and his eyes were still shining with tears, Zhao Xueyao's haze accumulated in his heart for several years can be said to be swept away at this time, after Xiao Tianjian's promise, he made up his mind, even if he failed this time, he would continue to work with Xiao Tianjian in the future, and if he couldn't be an official, he would be a clerk. In short, in this life, he will sell his life to Xiao Tianjian.

Just when Zhao Xueyao was full of longing, he suddenly heard an exclamation, only to feel that a person rushed past him like lightning, and the corner of Zhao Xueyao's eyes just saw a cold light flashing in this person's hand, so for some reason, without even thinking about it, Zhao Xueyao stretched out a hand and grabbed the clothes under the ribs of the person who jumped past him, and even when he made a move, he didn't think clearly what was going on, maybe he subconsciously felt that this person was going to be unfavorable to Xiao Tianjian! So he didn't even go through his brain, and he caught this man.

(Khan, this month's reward is so small!) It seems that the writing did not resonate with the brethren! The next step is to think about the plot! Hehe! )
