Chapter Ninety-Eight: Named 'Quicksand'
Named 'Quicksand'
Yongchang County; An uncontrollable fire suddenly rose in the city, but the people all over the city raised their hands and cheered, as if to vent themselves, shouting in the direction of the fire, and the officers and soldiers ran around with weapons and shouted.
Outside the city, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and in the light of the moon, the masked man in black on the horses of six horses looked particularly unique; Running like this all the time, it seems that there is not even a word of dialogue.
"Back to Chengdu" After leaving the city ten miles away, the leader said in a deep voice.
The rest of the people still didn't respond at all! I couldn't see any of their expressions in the night, only the chill and the seemingly lonely silence emanating from their bodies.
In late November of the first year of Zhang Wu, Zhuge Qiao and others finally returned to Chengdu after almost all over Yizhou and wiped out almost the three-layer family in Yizhou; It's just that when they came back, there were only six people left, and three of them stayed permanently on the path of exterminating the world, and although the cleanup of the world clan this time has ended, it will definitely continue to exist in the future.
For the consequences of this clean-up of the clan, the entire Yizhou clan is panicking, afraid that the next time it will be their own family, in contrast, the people are looking forward to their arrival, and they preside over the justice they deserve; For the sake of the hearts of the An Shi clan, the imperial court sent Zhuge Liang as the chief responsible for the investigation of the incident, and the officers and soldiers in the city would patrol the city overnight until dawn every night.
But no matter how big the reaction of the court and the family was, Zhuge Qiao still returned to Chengdu City safely, the city that owned his family; In fact, most of the clans eliminated by Zhuge Qiao had a large number of mercetaries, either did not support Shu Han's governance, or defrauded the people. If there is no last resort, how could Zhuge Qiao be willing to blindly cover the conscience of civilization in the 21st century and raise a butcher's knife to kill the seemingly innocent clan.
Slowly walking into Chengdu City, Zhuge Qiao felt that today's Chengdu seemed to be more prosperous than in the past, and he didn't know whether this was the people's desire or Zhuge Liang's governance or the upcoming military parade.
The school field outside the city that has just been built is inserted into the banner belonging to Shu Han at this time, and the soldiers who should arrive have basically arrived at this time, and the banners of Han, Liu, Zhang, Zhao, and Ma stand prominently.
For Zhuge Qiao, the biggest thing in returning to Chengdu this time is to check the deployment of the parade, but he is still the deputy commander, and he can't always be the shopkeeper.
Just walked into the school field, and before he had time to watch the deployment of the military camp, Deng Ai walked out of the school field;
"Captain, you're back; Come with me to meet the generals of all parties involved in this parade, after all, you still have a lot of affairs delayed and have not been dealt with," Deng Ai walked into Zhuge Qiao and said happily and anxiously.
"Here it goes! But how could Brother Shizai be here," Zhuge Qiao was stunned and asked slowly.
"It's the prime minister who can't get out of the way, so he sent Ai to the parade school to deal with some affairs, and the prime minister is still trying to investigate the case of the extermination of the clan," Deng Ai said helplessly, after all, there has been no good progress in this case so far.
Zhuge Qiao suddenly stared at the thief in shock, he didn't expect that he had caused such a big trouble to his cheap father.
"I've heard about this matter, but there is no way to solve it," Zhuge Qiao said with a sigh.
Speaking of this, Ai also felt very strange; They seem to be assassins and rangers, but they always leave a small pile of fine sand in front of the gate of the clan mansion every time they go, but it is incomprehensible, so most people now call these people 'quicksand'," Deng Ai continued.
This also made Zhuge Qiao secretly laugh, he arranged to pile up the fine sand in front of the mansion, and the name 'quicksand' was also rendered by him secretly. So in the face of Deng Ai's emotion, Zhuge Qiao just nodded and agreed.
"Let's go and meet the generals first, the hussar general only came from Wudu yesterday, and the other generals have been stationed for many days," Deng Aibi said, stretching out his hand to Zhuge Qiao.
"Then let's go see the hussar general first," Zhuge Qiao stretched out his hand and signaled.
Later, under the leadership of Deng Ai, he began to shuttle through the barracks of this school field; It's just that every soldier and every soldier has given me Zhuge Qiao a kind of vigor and a kind of atmosphere that belongs to the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, these troops are composed of elite soldiers from various departments, and they naturally want to maintain the reputation of their deployment, and how to maintain it if they don't show their strongest side at this time.
There were 22,000 people in the entire school field, most of them were infantry, and the cavalry only accounted for a small part, and when they heard the neighing of the horses, they also knew that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was in front.
Slowly, a tall war horse appeared in front of Zhuge Qiao's eyes, but the soldiers seemed to be recuperating, after all, they had just come yesterday, and only the horse team looking for the camp was constantly wandering.
"Who are you waiting for?" the cavalry looking for the camp shouted towards Zhuge Qiao.
"This is Captain Yao Yao, the deputy commander of this parade, and this is to meet the hussar general," Deng Ai stood up and responded to the cavalry looking for the camp.
The cavalry looking for the camp laughed when he heard this, "Haha, I've never heard such a joke, as long as he is still a lieutenant, I think he is still just a doll!" Don't look at what kind of place this is, dare to cheat here, take it! ”
As he spoke, the soldiers around him approached Zhuge Qiao and tried to catch the two of them. Zhuge Qiao didn't seem to have any intention of resisting, just waiting for them to capture him.
At this time, they were just about to take out the rope to tie up Zhuge Qiao and the others; A sudden shout came from behind the "stop".
I saw a figure as tall as a spear, dressed in a black battle robe, and his aura was high and high.
As soon as these soldiers around Zhuge Qiao saw this person, they immediately stopped, as if this person had great authority here;
Zhuge Qiao heard the voice and turned his head to look at the man; The obsidian-like eyes burst into an eye-catching look at this time, but there was also a long-lost cordiality in his eyes, this was not who Ma Jing who Zhuge Qiao sent to Ma Chao at the beginning.
The "young general" soldiers saluted Ma Jing one after another;
At this time, Zhuge Qiao also withdrew his eyes; He hugged his fists very formally and said: "Zhuge Qiao, Captain Zhuge Qiao, has been ordered to see the hussar general, and has discussed the military parade."
Ma Jing was suddenly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Zhuge Qiao to call himself like this, but when he recalled his old vows, he was relieved.
"In Ma Jing, Captain Zhuge can come with me" was surprised for a while, and Ma Jing also hugged his fists; The soldiers around him saw that their generals respected the person in front of them so much, and they felt scared when they thought about how they had just tied him up.
