The Zuojiazhai army was caught off guard, before they wandered around, luckily defeated the Zuojia army, thinking that they had cut the grass and eradicated the roots, so they were completely defenseless, until the enemy army attacked the official hall in the middle of the village, there were still many people in their sleep.

Xu Ji got dressed, sat outside and waited for the results, Chang Yanzhi stood aside, Lao Ding stood close to the door, listened to the shouts outside, suddenly took a few steps back, knelt down to Xu Ji, and begged with a crying voice: "Master Xu Gongzi doesn't remember the villain, don't reveal my identity later." ”

"What do I say, they asked?"

"Just say...... Just say that I am your entourage, just like Changye. ”

Chang Yanzhi snorted, not moved by an honorific title.

Xu Ji smiled: "You forgot, the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family has seen you and knows that you are from Liangzhou." ”

Lao Ding was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm a small person, I may not get attention, in short, I implore the two of you not to talk about my identity, just let me deal with it myself." ”

Chang Yanzhi smiled and said, "Last time, you didn't let us speak, and as a result, we became prisoners. ”

Lao Ding was speechless, so he had to kneel blindly.

Suddenly there was a sound of slamming the door outside, and there were loud shouts, and Lao Ding was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

Chang Yanzhi: "You go and deal with it, neither Gongzi nor I mention your identity, and you don't talk about ours, everyone has their own opinions." ”

Lao Ding breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully, got up and came to the door, and said in a trembling voice: "We are passers-by, we were caught with meat tickets, the door is not locked by us, may I ask the uncle who is here to save us......"

With a bang, the lock on the door outside was probably broken, the door was wide open, and a group of soldiers rushed in with knives, guns and torches, and Lao Ding hurriedly retreated to hide behind Chang Yanzhi.

A young general in his twenties stood in the middle of the room, holding a single knife out of his sheath, looking around, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Ji—he was the only one sitting among all of them.

"Who are you?"

"The unlucky people were arrested just passing by."

The young general approached and shook the knife in his hand, "Don't lie, this was my father's bedroom—" He looked to the left and right again, and almost everything in the room had been removed, leaving only the bulky tables and chairs, "If the stick is willing to let you live here, you must be a distinguished guest." ”

Xu Ji's "treatment" that he finally won from Yiqi became suspicious, and he had to say: "I am indeed an unlucky person, but because my name is Xu Ji, I ......"

"Xu Ji? Which Xu Ji? ”

"I don't know if there are other Xu ......"

"He Rongren offered a reward for the capture of Xu Ji?"

"What's the reward?"

The young general was slightly stunned, "Five thousand taels of silver." ”

Xu Ji looked at Chang Yanzhi, "I'm not as worth as a princess." ”

The young general added: "There is also Shan Yu's friendship. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "This reward is high, but I don't believe that this is just my meaning, it should be a rumor." ”

"It has nothing to do with me whether it is false or not, you are a noble thief and an enemy of my left family."

"What do you call Your Excellency unconsulted?"

The other party was so polite that the young general couldn't be angry, and said casually: "In Xia Zuojun, the deputy governor of this place ...... village."

Lao Ding, who was hiding behind Chang Yanzhi, didn't control his mouth, and interjected: "Zuo Deputy Zhizhai, Xu Gongzi is telling the truth, he wants to gather the leaders of the Descending Army in a fit of anger, and kill Xu Gongzi in public to avenge the enemy, so that he is allowed to live in a good house, not as a distinguished guest, otherwise he will not be locked outside." ”

Zuo Jun also knew that something was wrong, because he didn't kill people as soon as he came in, so he suddenly said to Lao Ding: "You are from Liangzhou." ”

Lao Ding's face changed, he heard it very clearly, and he could see it clearly, most of the Qiang soldiers standing behind Zuo Jun were Qiang soldiers, and the armor of these people was no different from that of the Central Plains, but their faces liked to be painted messily, and they liked to use self-made horn bows, and the characteristics were extremely obvious.

Hearing the words "Liangzhou people", several Qiang soldiers immediately shouted, and Lao Ding hurriedly said: "I am a citizen of Liangzhou, and I am employed to guide the way, not the Yang family." ”

A Qiang soldier stepped forward and said to Zuo Jun: "The stockade belongs to you, and the people of Liangzhou belong to us." ”

Zuo Jun nodded, and several Qiang soldiers stepped forward to drag Lao Ding and Chang Yanzhi away, but Xu Ji got up to stop him, "There is only one Liangzhou person, he is not, he is from Jiangdong Wu." ”

Qiang Bing said: "If you say something, I will know if it is from Liangzhou as soon as I hear it." ”

"I'm from Jiangdong Wu." Chang Yanzhi tried to speak in a normal tone as much as possible.

Several Qiang soldiers glanced at each other, and at the same time decided that this person was not from Liangzhou, so they dragged Lao Ding out, Lao Ding lost his soul and couldn't even say the words of pleading.

Xu Ji didn't say anything.

Zuo Jun glanced at Xu Ji a few times, a little overwhelmed by this unexpected "gain", "You stay here first, and I will deal with you later." ”

Zuo Jun walked out, and suddenly turned around again, "You two come with me, I don't want any accidents." ”

"I don't want to." Xu Ji smiled and followed with Chang Yanzhi.

The war was almost over, and the descendant army was only more than 1,000 people, and in the face of the sneak attack of several times the enemy, they were completely powerless to resist, and soon surrendered one after another, turning from occupiers to prisoners.

Before they entered the official hall, everyone heard the cry of a woman inside.

Zuo Jun ordered everyone to stay outside and enter the hall alone to check the situation.

Chang Yanzhi whispered: "This person must be the fifth son of the Zuo family, and inside is his daughter-in-law." ”

"Zuo Jun went to his father's house to check first, and it is likely that he is not married yet."

"Make a bet......"

Without waiting for Chang Yan to finish speaking, Zuo Jun walked out, with a sad and indignant face, gritted his teeth and said: "You have to work with you, you will swallow it in one go, whether it is dead or alive, I want it!" ”

Some of the soldiers were ordered to leave, and others surrounded Zuo Jun into the hall, and Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi naturally had to follow up.

In the official hall, the fifth daughter-in-law of the Zuo family had just cried enough, and before she finished her previous words, she said as soon as she saw Zuo Jun: "Seventh brother, you must avenge your brother, that person...... The man was an animal, he, he ......."

"The fifth sister-in-law doesn't need to say much, I understand everything."

The fifth daughter-in-law sat down, still wiping away tears.

Chang Yanzhi nodded to Xu Ji and said that he would admit defeat.

Zuo Jun stepped forward and said, "Fifth sister-in-law go to the back to rest, things ...... here"

"No, I must see the whereabouts of the bandits, or I will not be able to calm down."

Zuo Jun couldn't persuade him, so he had to let her, but he snuffed out a few candles nearby, leaving the fifth sister-in-law in the shadows, and then he walked among the Qiang soldiers and talked to a few people in a whisper.

Xu guessed that what they were talking about had something to do with themselves.

There was the sound of footsteps outside, and a large group of soldiers escorted in more than a dozen leaders of the Descending Army, and some of them were swallowed.

"He ran so fast that he fell off his horse." A Qiang soldier said, "It's quite strong, threatening us to say where we die." ”

Most of the Qiang people speak the Central Plains dialect, but some words are not well understood.

In a fit of anger, he was tied up with five flowers, his helmet was gone, and his face was a little bruised, but he was not afraid, "There is no place to die, this is the fate of all of you." ”

Zuo Jun pulled out his knife and said angrily: "Our Zuo family has no grudge against you, why did you kill my whole family so ruthlessly?" ”

Laughed in a fit of anger, "Lao Tzu happened to come here, do you have a grudge or not?" If you catch someone who should be killed, you have to kill it, and if you don't kill it, you still have it? Your left family's bones are not hard enough, and before you die, you begged me for mercy......"

Zuo Jun couldn't stand it anymore and raised his knife to cut.

The fifth daughter-in-law in the hall said: "Seventh brother is slow." ”

Laughed and said: "It's still the little ladies who talk about love, and the husband and wife are ......kind for a hundred days."

Zuo Jun was trembling with anger, and the fifth daughter-in-law was even more angry, but she still maintained three points of composure, "It's too cheap to kill him like this, his whole family follows him as a bandit, a total of two sons, a daughter, two younger brothers, and more than twenty close relatives, seventy or eighty distant relatives, he relies on the support of these people to call himself the king of heaven, so he also cares about these people the most." If the seventh brother wants to take revenge, he must find out these people and kill them one by one in front of him, so that he can vent his hatred a little. ”

swallowed the color of his face for the first time, and scolded: "What a ruthless stinky girl, I shouldn't have told you so much in the bed......"

"Shut his mouth up." The fifth daughter-in-law said in a trembling voice.

Without her reminder, Zuo Jun took matters into his own hands, tore the strip of cloth from his angry robe, wrapped his mouth around indiscriminately, and kept talking to himself, but no one could hear what he said.

Zuo Jun said to the other captives: "Who is the family member who swallowed the anger, stand up." ”

No one dared to stand up.

"You testify against one another, and whoever testifies the most, whose life I spare."

The phrase worked, and several of the leaders immediately spoke, and soon identified seven relatives who had been swallowed up in a fit of rage—they were the majority of the leaders.

Zuo Jun said to Qiang Bing: "Please take them out, identify other family members who swallow in anger, and be sure not to fall behind." ”

The seven relatives were left behind, and they were already so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled, and one of them was also confused, and defended: "General, my lord, the person who slept with your daughter-in-law was swallowed in one go, not our ......."

Zuo Jun was even more angry when he heard this, and he wanted to wait for everyone to do it again, but at this time, he swung his knife and slashed one first.

The remaining six people were colorless and blindly begged for mercy.

I was still unconvinced, and I was still screaming.

Once Zuo Jun moved, he couldn't stop, holding the knife with both hands and slashing hard, when he hit the fifth person, he only heard the man's screams, but he couldn't cut to death, and when he put away the knife and looked closely, he found that the blade had been rolled.

When the Qiang soldiers saw the blood, they were all excited, and immediately someone sent their own knives, and Zuo Jun took them in his hand and continued to chop.

Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi stood aside, glanced at each other, and both felt that the situation seemed to be about to get out of control, but no one could persuade them.

One after another, another angry relatives were sent, Zuo Jun asked for his identity, and immediately started to do it, and when he couldn't cut it himself, he asked Qiang soldiers to help.

When he met two women and several children, Zuo Jun was a little soft-hearted, and when he was hesitating, the fifth sister-in-law said in the distance: "Seventh brother, you are the only man left in the Zuo family, and all the old and young have been killed." ”

Zuo Jun didn't look back and ordered them all to be killed.

When he killed the child, he finally relented and kowtowed, but it was useless, and when he saw more and more corpses, he also shed tears.

Zuo Jun untied the strip of cloth on his mouth and gritted his teeth: "You also know what it's like to destroy the door, why did you kill my whole family in the first place?" ”

I swallowed only half a breath left, "Please...... Please, kill me first. ”

Zuo Jun has already killed the rise, where is there still a little soft-hearted, until more than a hundred people stopped, and then personally cut off the enemy's head, swallowing it in a fit of anger and not even dodging.

There was a river of blood in the official hall, and there was almost no place to stand, and the Qiang soldiers carried away most of the corpses, leaving only a few corpses to swallow.

Zuo Jun walked to the woman in the shadows, "Fifth sister-in-law, the great revenge has been avenged, do you wish?" ”

"Sort of."

"Okay, but you have tarnished your reputation, I can't keep you, please go to the underworld and tell the Zuo family that I have avenged them."

The "Seventh Brother......" The woman was about to argue, and she was stabbed in the neck, and the blood flowed profusely.

Zuo Jun turned around and didn't look at her, and said to the Qiang soldiers at the door: "You avenge me, I have nothing to say, I will keep my promise and lead you to Liangzhou." Our Zuo family has a lot of contacts with Liangzhou, and under the banner of Zuojiazhai, we will definitely be able to attack them by surprise, at least we can capture a few big cities, so that the Qiang people can gain a foothold. ”

Xu Ji sighed very softly, deeply feeling the pain of the troubled times.
