Chapter 522: Chaos
Gu Hun was naturally not killed by the senior brother, but this account was really counted on the head of the senior brother.
Daban made every effort in Zhang Lancheng, using the army manpower in his hand to the greatest extent, and controlled Gu Hun's subordinates at the first time, which was called protection. The fly in the ointment is that Daban failed to arrest Gu Hun's newly appointed petty official, the southerner.
After Zhang Yuanjia killed Gu Hun, he fled to a secret place - the contact point of Yuchizi, where Zhang Yuanjia did not dare to close his eyes, and waited almost gambling for a night, and finally, when his mental and physical strength was exhausted, a woman met him.
The maid with a delicate face but a sharp eyebrow did not order to kill him, and Zhang Yuanjia knew that he had passed the first hurdle, and his life was saved for the time being.
That maid was the maid beside Murong Duan.
"Zhang Yuanjia, it's the first time I've discovered that there are people as brave as you among the southerners."
Zhang Yuanjia, who was already ready to express his heartfelt feelings, was stunned, the female official didn't blame herself, why did it sound a little appreciative?
If you were originally prepared, it would be a little out of place to talk about it at this time, you can't say that you have a grudge against Gu Hun at this time, but you don't regret killing it, showing your hard character and conscience, and then express the eldest princess's kindness and willingness to die to repay her, right?
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, the maid said, "What do you think of Daban now?" ”
Zhang Yuanjia was completely relieved that he would indeed not die immediately, so he said: "Daban is just a mustard." ”
The maid's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be quite satisfied, and then said: "In this case, Gu Hun Dahu's position is temporarily replaced by you, I don't care what to do, Yuchizi can cooperate with you." I have only two demands, first, to quell this turmoil as soon as possible; Second, from now on, Zhang Lancheng can only have the voice of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
"Yes!"
The right minister didn't want to start a war at this time, and the eldest princess didn't want to, but Gu was dead, and Daban's big move made a breakthrough in Yuchizi, just to fight back and clear out the right minister's forces. As for some other forces in the city, the eldest princess Murong Duan's family is dominant, who would dare not open her eyes? At that time, the wood is already in the boat, and the right minister is afraid that the situation will not expand.
Whether she can survive in the end depends on whether she can clean up Zhang Lancheng before the eldest princess returns. Zhang Yuanjia understands it very well.
Zhang Yuanjia appeared on the street with dozens of elite fish ponds, and then it only took ten days to convict Daban and then control Zhang Lancheng.
Zhang Lancheng seemed to be peaceful again, Zhang Yuanjia stood on the city wall and looked at Yanjing from afar. Everything was as he had planned, and it was all under his control.
"Hehe, Taiping? How can it be so cheap? It's just the place where the storm blows."
Zhang Lancheng, which was thousands of miles away, was boiling, and Xilin, which was thousands of miles away from the Imperial Pavilion, was also boiling.
As for the reason for the boiling in the two places, they are somewhat similar, they are all dead, but the people in Zhanglan City were killed by people, and the people in Xilin died strangely.
The herders who died were all found dead and could no longer die, and they had the same condition - excessive blood loss.
There are already rumors in the tribe that those people were sucked by the blood of evil spirits from hell and died, and that those who died would turn into ghosts, and then plague many more people.
The power of rumors is powerful, especially in this age of belief in ghosts and gods. As a result, the Duanbu people of Xilin were frightened, and the tribe began to flee.
General Ichisan killed those who dared to flee from his territory. Then he ordered the sorcerer to incinerate the flesh and bones of the dead, put them at the feet of the gods, and then let the gods protect the grasslands.
And yet people are dying all the time.
General Yi Zhixie's prestige is gradually disappearing, and some people take the opportunity to counterattack and start to move, but is Yi Zhixian a person who sits back and waits for death? So the Second Tribal War began ahead of schedule.
In this tense atmosphere, the bizarre deaths are less of a concern.
No one has noticed that there is a clear trend in the number of deaths and the regions of death, that is, more and more people are dying, and there is a general order from west to east. It's just that the war is coming, and there will be many more people dead than this, who cares about these bullshit herdsmen and ordinary people?
Not far from Xilin, a terrifying-looking insect was moving rapidly. Its several tentacles support its soft body, and it is extremely fast. And the area it walked through was not crossed by mosquitoes, snakes and rats for a long time.
This worm was only known to the dead old poison and Xie Shence - that Gu King. If Xie Shence knew that there was a case here, then he must know the reason.
The Gu King is hungry and needs his blood. So the Gu King began to look for him.
There are still many people on the northeast border of Heishui County, and there is news that a certain earth-shattering thief who is not afraid of death has committed theft in the house of a certain huge rich, and has also done a trick of stealing incense and jade by the way - as a result, it was broken, and the rich man could not save face, so he drove out the "maid" who had been defiled, and then put down a heavy reward.
The thief had been away for some time, and the people in the border town estimated that he might have fled away, so these people who were still in the border town were probably the last ones. And this group of people is also leaving.
A man with a wooden expression drove a large green mule with some swords and iron tools on it, which was the household goods for his patrons.
Xiao Wang is more like a mule driver than a skilled mule driver, his hands are steady, his strength is just right, his mule carries a lot, but he does not eat too much, and the mule's physical condition is still the best so far. So Xiao Wang was naturally appointed as the leader of the mule driving brigade by the leader of the twenty or so horse bandits. And because Xiao Wang is a "local", he often walks this road, and knows when it is best to hurry and when it is most stable to camp, so he became the chief leader of the servants and miscellaneous servants.
Xiao Wang, who had ascended from the most inconspicuous mule-driving man and chicken dog to the head of thirty or forty people, was still so approachable, and even more humble, that the poor hired horse bandits, who were moving slowly, who were obviously not really catching the thieves, handed over their mounts to Xiao Wang to feed.
"It's a good boy, I just don't know if there's anyone else in the house"
"Does it matter? Do you want to pull him in, but you're afraid he won't? refused to find an opportunity to kill his family and then pull him into the gang. ”
"I have a heart of love for talent, and I want to convince people with virtue and influence him with morality."
"Fuck your mother, it's almost the same as being a fool, we have a bullshit morality in this industry."
"In the end, he is still a good seedling, and he is not willing to cut his bonds until he has to"
"Okay, you don't have children or daughters, I won't say much if you want to find a successor"
The eldest leader and the second leader of the horse bandits were talking about Xiao Wang when they were peeing, and Xiao Wang was feeding the horses even though he was walking outside, and the sound of the two talking was not too loud, but Xiao Wang couldn't hear it.
So in the middle of the night, a black shadow touched the felt tent of the eldest and second leaders one after another.
Who said Xiao Wang couldn't hear it? He heard it clearly, but he pretended not to hear.
The big boss covered his neck with a stunned face, he couldn't have imagined that this honest-looking man, who he valued very much and was ready to accept him as a successor, would cut his throat in the middle of the night and kill himself.
"You're barely qualified, but how can a horse bandit like you be a half-person who is qualified to say such a thing as cultivating me. Aren't you going to kill my whole family? I only have one sister, and I came out because of her. You said you were going to kill her? I don't promise. ”
Xiao Wang looked at the big man who was gradually cooling, put away the dagger, and then said, "So you are going to die, both of you are going to die." And you're walking so slowly. ”
The next day, the bodies of the eldest and second leaders were found in the felt tent, and the little king was gone, missing a few horses and some weapons and irons, and the procession shook. The horse bandits killed several people but found that killing people was useless, and then killed them all.
The horse bandits, who had killed dozens of servants and servants, sped up their march and made a rapid advance towards somewhere in the steppe.
Xiao Wang rode on a horse, looking at the vast grassland, and was not in a hurry to advance, he probably knew an area, which should be the only way for the Imperial Pavilion, so he was ready to lurk there and wait for the opportunity to move.
He was now sitting under a tree that had been dead for many years, beside a shallow river, full of silt, and he had already had a horse trap.
Xiao Wang, who was nibbling on the sauced beef, was replenishing his strength, and he had already let go of two batches of people, because there was no one left alone, so he couldn't do it. His sister was still in the hands of the fourth young lady Wang Jiehua, and he didn't dare not work hard, but the feeling of having nowhere to start made him feel tormented.
Thirty horses ran in the distance, two to three horses per person, and the momentum was not small.
The cavalry had gone back, and after the last two hours, near ten minutes of dusk, another horseman had come from the north.
Single.
The rested little king turned over and got on his horse, bent his bow and arrows.
Li Zhenfan, who was already alone, didn't know that someone was aiming at him, but the war horse was running at high speed, and suddenly sensed the crisis, so he subconsciously bent down and crossed the knife, and as a result, the soft arrow shot by the inferior bow grazed the back of his knife and collapsed.
Someone sneak attacked! When Li Zhenfan returned to his horse, he saw a masked man running towards him quickly, releasing arrows as he ran.
Li Zhenfan was furious, after Xie Shence's disappearance, he pursued the fire in his stomach to no avail, and easily triggered the civil strife of the remnants of the Xilin Duanbu, and it took a long time to get the news after returning to the fort, saying that Xie Shence or returned, which made Li Zhenfan dissipate his anger.
He is such an apprentice, if he dies, will he find another successor? Li Zhenfan is not too young, he doesn't want to look for it anymore, and he doesn't have the energy or mood.
However, not long after, Li Zhenfan heard the news of Xie Shence's disappearance again.
Three days of two-headed play missing? So Li Zhenfan was completely angry.
This time, he took the troops out without regard to the military order, and he didn't think about going back - if he couldn't find the rabbit cub, Lao Tzu would not do it. You Wang Ding has been for more than 20 years, so I finally asked me, begging me to come to the northwest border pass, take care of it at a critical time, I can't lose your son-in-law, that is also my apprentice!
It's just that the supplies are running out at the moment, and I have to turn back. He himself was the queen of the palace, and he was to arrive at the meeting place before dark.
rushed back in a hurry, but was attacked and killed.
And the other party is still alone
Alone, this made Li Zhenfan feel a great shame.
How long has it been since his majesty has not been provoked?
So Li Zhenfan gently patted the terrifying slashing horse hanging on the side of the horse.
If you come, die.
The genius instructor of the Erli people, and the youngest Wu Commander of the Great Jin Modao back then, have to compete on the horse, which is really a rare thing.
