Besides, the knife group packed up unnecessary things and buried them, disguised themselves as foot traders, and went out day and night, and finally arrived at the Shaanxi Xingdu Division three days later.

Early in the morning, outside the city, the knife and a few people hid in the remote woods, watching the sergeants and cavalry entering and leaving the city gate, and stopped helplessly.

"Two brothers, I can only send you here, it's too risky to go in again, you can do it yourself," no matter how fierce the knife was, he also knew that when he entered the city at this moment, the chance of being surrounded by a mistake was ninety percent, so he had to say goodbye to the two Tartar herdsmen.

The sallow-faced herdsman gasped and rode on his healthy horse, grinning at the knife, "Knife, please ask the hundred households to send the pension money to the tribe, and the two of me will go,"

The illness of these two herdsmen, Li Muchen has already seen, is an incurable disease on the grassland, even Liu Yi is powerless to return to the sky; When Wang Ziliang got the news, he sent someone to take them to Shiguantun, where they were entertained with delicious food and drink.

Each person has a thousand taels of silver to earn before he dies, although it is cruel to say, but for the Tartar herdsmen, their useless body, rather than dying uselessly on the grassland, so that the family can only increase their sorrow, it is better to leave some money and food for the family before leaving.

A thousand taels of silver, so that the two neat wasters, who could not even walk, mustered up the last of their strength, turned their horses' heads, and had to go to the tall city.

"Brother, let's go," the knife muttered, waving his hand, and watched as the two staggering herdsmen walked up the avenue, twisted and pulled the reins, and went into the low woods; He had to stay at a distance with his four brothers and would not leave until he heard the movement in the city.

Two herdsmen wrapped in thick sheepskin coats, in their close body, tied a dozen earth-shaking thunderbolts in a circle, pulled the fire rope together, tied it with a rope and tied it in the sleeve, as long as you raise your hand, the earth-shaking thunder will explode in unison after three breaths.

I have to say that Wang Ziliang, a scholar who has embarked on a fork in the road, wants to do it, and Xiao Ye is not a little bit worse than that; Of course, this kind of ruthless method can only be figured out by Wang Ziliang, who has a ruined family.

Xiao Ye, who was scared of being blackmailed over and over again, did not nod or shake his head at Wang Ziliang's suggestion, but he didn't know it, so he acquiesced; Most of the things that the Haiqi team does in secret are not visible, this person eats the world of people, and wants to be an upright person and do his duty, which is simply delusional.

Killing chickens and monkeys was Wang Ziliang's original intention, but killing the wrong monkey would cause the monkeys to go crazy, Xiao Ye didn't know how much disaster a general soldier who died unexpectedly would bring to himself.

If Yang Tianshou or Xin Weilin knew about this plan, they would definitely try their best to stop it, but who would come up with this kind of thing, Xiao Ye pretended not to know.

Naturally, two sick Mongolian herdsmen were interrogated at the city gate, and the leather bags next to the saddle were turned upside down.

"What did you do when you entered the city?" The captain who guarded the city gate asked with an unkind look on his face that if he hadn't seen these two Tartars get off his horse, he might have caught two Tartars and spies.

But it seems that these are two cooked tartars, who can understand the language, so it's better to ask first.

"Ahem, ahem, we're here to seek medical treatment, and we've heard that the doctor here has healed the disease, and we're from Qingfeng Valley," the herdsman stammered as he covered his mouth with a coarse cloth.

"Okay, get the road ticket out," the big hand stretched out, the captain looked businesslike, and a few sergeants with spears next to him faintly surrounded him.

"Yes, yes," according to Wang Ziliang's explanation, the herdsman slowly put his hand into his arms, slowly took out a cloth bag, and handed it to the captain, "Please also ask the official to let my brothers go to the city to see a doctor early,"

Skillfully pinched the cloth bag, which contained a few pieces of broken silver, which made the captain show a smile on his face, and after putting it into the money bag on his waist without a trace, his face immediately straightened.

"Now the horse thieves are rampant, and the officers and soldiers are scouting in all directions, since you are here to treat the disease, the waist knife will be held with me, and you will come to get it again when you go out of the city," the scimitars hanging from the waists of the two Tartars, he would not let go, and the healthy horses also checked up and down, and did not see other knives or other weapons.

"Yes, let's just put it down," the two Tartar herdsmen, who whispered, obediently unsheathed their knives, handed over their scimitars, and then handed over the city tax of ten cents each to the tax collectors on the side according to the rules, and pulled the reins of their horses into the city gate hole.

"Liu Tou, these two Tartars can't be horse thieves, they look alike," a sergeant standing beside the lieutenant asked in a low voice, holding the spear in his hand.

"It's like a fart, have you ever seen a horse thief," the lieutenant surnamed Liu scolded with a smile and slapped the sergeant, "At a glance, I know that they have tuberculosis and can't live for a few days, so it's good to accumulate some yin virtue,"

"Oh, yes, that yellow face is scary, it turns out to be tuberculosis, it won't be contagious," the sergeant glanced at the captain's money bag, and said unwillingly, "Tartar is really rich,"

"It's not contagious, it's just that there is no rule of law, it's the same everywhere," the lieutenant glanced at the subordinates on both sides, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Come on, wait for the next duty, brother, I'll invite everyone to drink two cups, the wine and meat are full, don't be listless,"

"Hey, this is our good Liu Tou," so all the sergeants praised in unison, stood up straight, and waited for the shift to take over.

At this time, on the city wall above their heads, a military academy that had been watching just now hurriedly ran down the road, and the companions below had benefits, and since he saw it, he couldn't run away in vain, at least some of the benefits should not be shared.

Holding the waist knife and running down the military academy in Yongdao, just as he was about to turn around and hurry into the doorway, the two Tartar herdsmen who passed by him suddenly stopped his footsteps when the words came out of his mouth.

"I said, you gave them all the money, and we both don't even have anything to eat today,"

"Eat? Hehe, let's not talk about eating, let's ask the general soldier's mansion directly, go and inform him of the news of the horse thief, maybe the general will meet us in person," the herdsman's words made his companion's face darken, and he didn't say anything more.

Yes, it can't be delayed any longer, the sharp pain in the chest is tight for a while, and maybe you don't even have to inquire about the General Military Mansion later, and it is possible to die on the street at any time.

The two spoke Tatar, and it just so happened that the military school knew a little more, so the conversation between the two was stopped.

"Hey, stop, I said what about you two," the military academy stepped forward a few steps, stopped the two Tartars, and raised his eyes to look at the two, "What did you mean by going to the General Soldier's Mansion just now?" ”

"Hehe, this military master, my brothers and sisters found a few horse thieves in the field yesterday, and they have already touched their hiding place, and they are about to go to the general soldier's mansion to ask for some reward, and we have to go to the hospital to see a doctor,"

I have to say that Wang Ziliang's serial plan, even Xiao Ye was secretly frightened when he saw it.

"Horse thief, where? How do you know it's a horse thief? The military academy asked in a squinting voice, blocking the front and refusing to give way.

The two Tartars glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that what they were going to say in front of the General Soldier's Mansion would be heard by the two of them first; The taller herdsman hesitated and spat out two words, "Fire/gun,"

Immediately, he didn't let go anymore, which was what Wang Xiucai repeatedly advised.

Hearing the other party's reply with his own ears, the military academy was overjoyed, the surname Liu had inked those few broken silver, how could he go to the general soldier's mansion to receive merit. Even if he just led them to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, it would be a great achievement.

You must know that yesterday morning, General Na Lei sent hundreds of cavalry, rumbling with that momentum, with a murderous posture; Soon, all the military academies knew the news, and the captain sent by General Lei was unexpectedly taken away by the horse thief, and only one of them ran back to report the news.

According to the news from the General Army's office, the captain was beaten half to death by the general's military stick, and if he hadn't needed to recognize someone, maybe he would have been beaten on the spot with a military stick.

Of course, the sharp firearms used by the horse thief were also the reason why all the captains were hanged, and the military academies also found out about this.

Or after the Tatar herdsman said the word fire/gun, the military academy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved his hand with a smile, "Go, follow this military academy and take you to the general military mansion,"

The captain at the gate of the city checked the two Tartars, and it seemed that these two people were not the material of horse thieves, and the military academy only looked at the two healthy horses, and did not see any weapons or other objects, so he led the two of them and hurriedly walked towards the general army's mansion.

In the General Military Mansion, from time to time there were anxious sergeants coming and going, and several captains guarding the gate were calm at the moment, their eyes wide open, their hands pressed their waist knives and their chests and stomachs protruding, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest; Today's general soldier looks more vigorous than yesterday's liver fire, so it's better to be careful not to touch the mold.

"Huh," I faintly heard the sound of porcelain breaking in the conference hall inside, and the captains were shocked, and their faces tightened.

Lei Zhengtang, who was sitting in the hall, was in a mess at the moment, and several deputy commanders, staff generals, and guerrilla generals standing at the head of the group drooped their heads in embarrassment.

"It's been a few days, and I still can't find those horse thieves, if they are caught by the brocade guard, where is the old man's face?" Lei Zhengtang, whose eyes were red, lost his usual composure, and a murderous aura lingered around his body.

"Give you three more days, if you can't touch the shadow of the horse thief, the old man's military stick is not a vegetarian," Xiao Kill's gaze swept over these henchmen, and Lei Zhengtang began to roar again irritably.

"Damn horse thieves, they dare to attack my Ming official army, General Ben must strangle them, and light the sky lantern,"

A few henchmen secretly looked at each other, clenched their fists helplessly, and if they really couldn't find it, they could only sneak out of the grassland from the trail, find a small tribe to destroy, and take people's heads to carry the account.

At this moment, a lieutenant at the door ran into the hall and knelt on one knee across the steps, "Report to the general, there is a military academy Zhang Mo outside asking to see you,"

"Huh? Isn't he watching at the gate of the city, why did he come here," the henchmen muttered in their hearts, their eyes fixed on Lei Zhengtang's face; Zhang Mo's sister had just entered the house as a maid, and she heard that she was taken by the general and wanted to be accepted into the room as a concubine.

"What is he doing here, let him do his own thing," Lei Zhengtang waved his hand silently, and saw that the captain kneeling on the ground seemed to have something to say, so he said, "What does he want to see General Ben?" ”

"General Bing, Zhang Military Academy intercepted two Tartar herdsmen at the gate of the city, saying that he had found the traces of the horse thieves," as soon as the captain's words fell, Lei Zhengtang suddenly stood up, "That's still ink, bring people in,"

The two sickly-looking Tartar herdsmen soon knelt on the blue brick floor of the hall, and the military academy Zhang Mo stood behind them; With Zhang Mo's relationship, the lieutenant did not search his body, but just left the horse next to the tethered stake outside the mansion.

The broken porcelain tea juice on the ground in the hall had been cleaned up by the servants, and Lei Zhengtang sat on the big chair, surrounded by martial artists on both sides, and looked coldly at the two cooked tartars on the ground.

The two herdsmen lying on the ground, their suppressed coughing voices and sallow faces made the generals feel light, and the undisguised disgust in their eyes even saw Zhang Mo at the door clearly.

"Stand up and speak," after a long time, Lei Zhengtang slowly opened his mouth, "Tell the official what you know, word for word, but if there is a word false, the official will exterminate your tribe, and the cattle and sheep will be killed,"

The eerie threat looks normal in Lei Zhengtang, and his henchmen also take it for granted, the horse thief, it will definitely be related to the Tartars, and maybe these two people are too.

The ten card officials who were silent on both sides of the hall, with the general's words, took a step forward, the iron armor sounded, and the hand pressed the hilt of the knife with extraordinary momentum.

This kind of deterrence, for ordinary people, can indeed scare those who have never seen the world into weakness, but it is precisely these two Tartars who are bent on death that are aroused by blood.

"General Lei," the herdsman kneeling on the ground, the tall one got up, raised his head, and looked at Lei Zhengtang, who was sitting steadily, holding the open placket of his sheepskin coat with both hands.

"It's this official, don't be verbose, tell what you know," this Tartar's rudeness made Lei Zhengtang's heart angry again, and when the question was over, he pulled down and beat him with more than a dozen military sticks, to see if he knew the rules.

"Hehe, I know where the horse thief is, but the general wants to reward my two brothers," confirming the identity of the other party, the tall tartar turned his head to look at his companions beside him, and walked up step by step.

"Bah, stop," the guerrilla general, who was standing at the bottom, saw that this Tartar was so rude that he dared to walk in front of the general, and immediately shouted; Unexpectedly, his shout stimulated the two herdsmen with their hands raised and rushed towards Lei Zhengtang on the opposite side.

A distance of more than ten paces, running over took more than a breath, and before everyone had time to stop it, the two Tartars had already rushed to the front of the general and hugged Lei Zhengtang's legs.

This, this damn Tartar, really has no royal law, and the generals were furious, and rushed up one after another, wanting to pull the two apart; The card officials who were standing far away also panicked and stepped forward to help.

Lei Zhengtang was stunned by the actions of the two Tartars for a while, and then, he smelled the familiar smell of gunpowder smoke in his nose; Looking closely, his soul suddenly flew away.

From under the sheepskin coat of the Tartar, a trace of white smoke came out, which immediately made Lei Zhengtang understand, together, the horse thief was in front of him, and he was still holding his legs.

"Bold horse thief, dare to harm this official," the angry Lei Zhengtang, who was also a battle-hardened general, raised his leg and kicked the short Tartar away, and was immediately pressed to the ground by his henchmen; However, the tall Tartar on the other side had already taken advantage of the situation to hug his waist.

"General Lei, let me tell you that there will be no pie in the sky," the strange-looking Tartar leaned in front of Lei Zhengtang's face and whispered, with infinite ridicule in this strange emphasis. This ridicule made Lei Zhengtang's mind boom, and he seemed to understand something.

"Ah, no," with Lei Zhengtang's terrible howl, two huge explosions sounded in the hall one after another, and the earth-shattering thunder tied to the herdsman's body exploded countless shrapnel and gunsmoke.

Zhang Mo, who was standing at the door, looked at the two bold herdsmen with his mouth open, and was immediately overturned to the ground by a strong force surging out in front of him, rolling and smashing out of the hall steps.

When the captain outside ran to the outside of the conference hall, except for Zhang Mo, who was covered in blood, the dozen or so people in the hall were all blown to pieces, just like the furniture in the hall, and their limbs were broken all over the ground. A sturdy council hall at the end of the road was basically blown to the ground, and I was afraid that it was about to collapse.

If it weren't for those generals and card officials, who bravely stepped forward to arrest the two Tartars, maybe they still had a chance to live, and more than 20 sky-shattering thunderbolts that exploded at the same time would be seriously injured even if the gods came, not to mention the mortals.

In this assassination operation, Xiao Ye was not very cautious, which gave Wang Ziliang a chance to play, and also left an extremely terrifying case in the history of assassination, and there were many troubles in the future.

Gansu Pingjiang General Lei Zhengtang was assassinated, four subordinate generals were killed, and the subordinate officials were exhausted.

The knife that had been waiting outside the city for a long time could hear a faint roar from the city, and after waiting for a stick of incense, seeing that a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared at the city gate and blocked the city gate, I knew that the two Tartar herdsmen had already sounded the earth-shattering thunder on their bodies, but they didn't know if they had found Lei Zhengtang.

However, the news that came down should be the matter of Fuguilou's inquiry, and they still have to go into the wilderness ditch and make a detour to rush back to Lao Yangkou.

Qingming, one of the 24 solar terms in the summer calendar. After the vernal equinox, before the valley rains. "Almanac": "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, Douzhi Ding, for Qingming, when everything is clean and clear, cover when (the temperature rises, there is less fog in southern China, the wind and sand in the north disappear, and the air permeability is good), hence the name.

Qingming Festival, also known as the Qingqing Festival, also known as the Tomb Sweeping Festival, the Ghost Festival, the Hades Festival, and the July 15th Midyear Festival and the October 15th Lower Yuan Festival are collectively known as the Three Hades Festival, all of which are related to the sacrifice of ghosts and gods.

With all the sacrificial supplies, Xiao Ye took Zuo Shi, Xiao Liuzi and other flag officials to Shiguantun Land Temple the day before, and together with the military households, they worshiped the tablets of the brothers in the side hall; The others went to kowtow in the main hall next and made a wish, but Xiao Ye did not participate.

Although he has obtained a lot of knowledge of military logistics, it is mixed with some atheistic rhetoric, which makes Xiao Ye very confused, for the sake of prudence, he will not offend either party, and he will not participate in it or stop it.

However, tomorrow I want to go to the gravel fort Houtun to worship my parents, I must go, I didn't go to Xiao Ye last year and felt guilty for a long time, how can I go to see the tomb with my own eyes.
