The knife flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

The onlookers retreated suddenly, whether they were Mongolian or Han, and their eyes really showed fear.

If everyone was still skeptical about whether the government dared to kill someone, in the face of the bloody reality, they finally knew how solemn Lu County's words just now were, and for the first time, they began to face up to the rules of this field and Guangling County.

Strange to say, according to common sense, the Mongolian people at the scene always feel angry when they see their own people killed, but at the moment they can't move a little anger, but feel that Huo Zang's death is self-inflicted, which makes them trust this field a little more.

Lu Zhen naturally couldn't see this, what he wanted was just a role to set an example for chickens and monkeys. Therefore, after killing the person with a knife, he ordered his head to be hung on the beam of the main entrance of the Yongchang and displayed to the public for three days to warn the relevant people, and then led the people to turn around and leave.

This move once again shocked the audience, and everyone looked at the back of Lu Zhen leading people away with deep thought, this young county order named Lu Jin has been deeply imprinted into their hearts, and because of the propaganda of these people, their great name will be spread in the frontier and grassland.

When Lu Zhen came to the gate of the county seat, he found that not only the subordinates in the county government were waiting there, but even the soldiers in the military camp had poured out of the nest and waited for a long time.

As soon as they saw it appear, all the soldiers suddenly took a step forward, landed on one knee, and clenched their fists in unison: "Thank you Lu County Commander for seeking justice for our brother!" ”

The new general Liu Yi also smiled and hugged his fists and saluted: "Lu County Lingken stands up for us soldiers, and I really admire the subordinates!" The tone was very polite and sincere.

Seeing this, Lu Jin was stunned at first. Although the sergeants of this battalion did not dare to trouble themselves because of Xiao Mo's death because of Hu Sui before, the two sides still had some differences. Even if you seconded soldiers and horses with someone for official business, it is just a business affair.

But now, the barracks are so polite to themselves from top to bottom, obviously they really treat him as their own, which makes Lu Zhen very surprised, and he is busy returning the salute while stepping forward to help a soldier in front of him: "Everyone, please get up, this official is just doing his duty, and I really don't deserve such a heavy courtesy." ”

"Of course you deserve Lu County!" Liu Yi said with a straight face: "When my brothers in my camp were killed that day, all of us were filled with righteous indignation. But to be honest, let's go to those Tartars for revenge, and we don't have the courage to do so. But today, you, Lu County, have done what we dare not do. We are all coarse people, and we don't understand anything else, but we can still tell who treats us as our own. No, as long as you do what Lu County orders in the future, we will try our best to help you do it! ”

"Yes, I am willing to listen to the order of Lu County in the future!" All the sergeants also said in unison, and the momentum was really not weak.

Lu Jin hesitated for a moment, and then arched his hand at them: "In this way, I, Lu Jin, thank you for your love." As long as you and I work together in the future, I believe that this Guangling county will be impregnable! ”

"Together, solid!" Immediately, someone shouted in a low voice, and then all the soldiers shouted such a sentence, the momentum is unprecedented, in this small county of Guangling.

After admonishing them with good words, Lu Zhen sent Liu Yi and the others away. Although he was a little moved in his heart, he actually still had some guesses about General Liu's motives, obviously he made this choice not only for today's events, but also for the will of General Hu Bing. Otherwise, he is a general, there is really no need to deliberately grovel to his own county order, after all, it is not the Ming Dynasty in a few decades.

Just thinking about this, when he saw the sergeants retreating, everyone in the county government came forward. Although these people all spoke flattering words, Lu Zhen still saw a little uneasiness in the eyes of several officials.

So when he returned to the county office, Lu Zhen deliberately left Hou Shen and the others, and after glancing at them, he said: "Now it's just the three of us, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide it." ”

Hou Shen and the others glanced at each other, and after a little hesitation, Hou Xian Cheng said cautiously: "My lord, the lower officials and others always feel that you are a little eager and hasty in what you did today. ”

"Yes, after all, it's a Mongolian person, not my Ming people, so it's just a knife, not to mention what the reaction will be when the government hears the news, just the people of their tribe are afraid that they won't give up." Master Shen also said with a bitter face.

Hou Xiancheng continued: "If it's just a person from an ordinary small tribe, it's just that, but that person is from the Tho tribe." Lord County, you may not know that the grassland power of this Tho tribe in my Guangling area is really not small, and it has won a lot of ...... before There are many advantages in the army, and their combat power should not be underestimated. ”

"If they really send troops to attack because of this incident, our Guangling County will be in trouble."

Listening to them finish their words one by one, the expression on Lu Jin's face also became solemn: "So that Huo Zang really has some origins?" There is such a big backer behind it. ”

"yes. In fact, my lord, the best way for you to deal with it is to take the people, and then ask their tribe to redeem them with their property, so it is not considered to have fallen into the prestige of our Ming official mansion. But now, he has completely offended people, and even formed a deep hatred. Those Tartars won't tell us anything, I'm afraid that the time will be ......" Hou Xiancheng didn't dare to say the latter words, and could only express them with a sigh full of worry.

"They dare to use troops against me?" Lu Zhen really didn't believe much about this. Because as far as he knows, now the Ming Dynasty has taken the initiative in the border areas, at least before the great rout a few years later, the grassland tribes were afraid because of Emperor Taizong's several northern expeditions, and I really don't believe that they have the courage to dare to attack a border county town of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's hard to say." The two subordinates said uneasily. Although it is difficult to say what they say, looking at their expressions, it is obvious that they think that there is a high probability that this matter will come true.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's heart also sudden, but he naturally couldn't show his timidity at this time, so he said: "Are we afraid that they won't succeed?" What's more, my Guangling County is not muddy, there are troops stationed there, as long as they dare to invade the territory, we can repel them! ”

Hou Shen and the two looked at each other again, sighed secretly and could only nod. Things have already happened, and they naturally don't dare to argue with Lu Jin about such unpredictable things. They just want a county magistrate to wake up, and the rest is not something they can control.

However, the words of these two still made Lu Zhen have a trace of precaution in his heart, and secretly made up his mind, planning to discuss with Liu Yi at that time, and it is always not wrong to be fully prepared. However, from his own heart, he still didn't think that the Mongols would send troops to attack the border city of the Ming Dynasty because of the death of such a person.

But he didn't know that this time his judgment was wrong. Because there is more than one reason for the Tho tribe to attack Guangling County......

@@@@@

On the grassland, the station of the Tho tribe.

The faces of all the clansmen were covered with dark clouds at the moment, and some of them were even crying in front of the tent, because their relatives had fallen into the hands of the Ming government, and now they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

A young man with red eyes and a sturdy figure rushed straight to the largest tent in the middle of the tribe like a whirlwind, and without thinking twice, he had already lifted the curtain and broke in: "Patriarch Yutai, you must avenge my eldest brother!" Before he could see what was going on inside, he was already yelling loudly.

Yutai, who was meditating in the tent, was disturbed by it, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes at first, but he quickly pressed it down: "Fire knot, I naturally understand your anger." The eagles of our grassland actually pecked at those pheasants, which is really unacceptable. ”

"Please also give me a few hundred clansmen, and I will lead the troops to Guangling County to kill them, and kill all the people there to avenge my eldest brother." Fire knot hates the authentic. He has admired his brother Huo Zang since he was a child, and has an extremely close relationship with him, and now he is furious when he learns that Huo Zang has cut off his head for the Han people.

"However, the city of this Ming Kingdom is different from our grassland tribes, and it is not so easy to capture." Yutai was unmoved, and continued unhurriedly: "Although that Guangling is only a small county town, we may not be sure to capture it with the strength of one of us. ”

"The Han people have always been cowardly and timid, as long as we are willing to let go of the attack, there is no reason why we can't attack." Huo Jie said disapprerovingly: "Yutai, can you even turn a blind eye to such a great hatred?" The last sentence was full of dissatisfaction.

A trace of anger flashed in Yutai's eyes, this Huo Zang had always been domineering in the ministry at the beginning, and even with his younger brother, he was generally arrogant. Now that others are dead, the fire knot is still the same, and he doesn't take himself as a patriarch in his eyes at all, which is really unbearable.

But this Yutai patriarch is a feminine and forbearant character, even if there is a bit of killing intent in his heart, his face still looks very calm: "Huo Zang's revenge naturally wants to be avenged, but it needs to be arranged." In fact, as early as a few months ago, I had already started to prepare, as long as I contacted a few surrounding tribes and could send troops with them, this Guangling County would be at my fingertips. ”

"You mean really?" Huo Knot asked expectantly, his eyes wide.

"Of course. You can ask this old gentleman about this. Yutai said and pointed to the old man beside him who was completely ignored by the fire knot, and after hearing this, he smiled a little reluctantly, nodded and said: "Yes, the old man has already made a statement to the patriarch of Yutai a few months ago, and now it seems that the opportunity should be ripe." ”

It's just that Yutai and Huojie didn't notice it, and when they said this, a trace of helplessness flashed in He Wukui's eyes......
