Zhao Lin once again took the lead into the cliff, Zu Zhenlin and the others followed, and this time the large army also followed in the rear. Coming to the entrance again, the two guards were still nonchalantly watching the game.

Zhao Lin motioned to shoot them, and the Lin brothers picked up their light crossbows, and two arrows were shot, directly through their throats, and the two fell to the ground, making a "uh-uh" sound, plopped, and fell to the ground.

The people in the room finally noticed the abnormality and rushed out to check the situation, shocked.

Zhao Lin held a spear, the body of the spear was cast of fine iron, black and shiny, soaring into the sky, like the god of war coming to the world, a shot stabbed directly, like a dragon out of the sea, directly piercing the two people who came out.

Zu Zhenlin also followed the footsteps, his body method was 'ten steps', he was elusive, and instantly appeared beside the other two, shot ruthlessly, mercilessly, directly cut the necks of the two people, blood spurted out, Zhenlin dodged directly, avoiding the fate of Li Cao, making his clothes stained with blood.

After solving the six people standing guard, Lin Yuan ran to inform Zhao Ting. A large army rushed in, murderous.

Zu Zhenlin told Li Cao to follow him closely and not run around.

Zhao Ting waved her hand, and the army rushed forward.

There were also men guarding the gate of the stockade, and when the army rushed near, they were shocked and shouted: "There is an army!"

The valley as their stronghold has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they are too careless, thinking that this place is so hidden that it will never be discovered, and they will be lax when they stand guard. Now is the disadvantage they face, the army enters, and they have no way to escape.

These people are worthy of being bandits, and they know that they can't escape, and they can only fight hard to have a chance of survival. To draw a bow and arrows, you must first shoot a group of people. It is a pity that there is a huge gap in the equipment of the two sides, and the killing distance of the bandits' bows and arrows is only about 100 meters, while the effective range of the light crossbows of the escort army has reached about 150 steps.

Zhao Lin saw someone rushing out of the stockade and shouted, "Let go!"

The soldiers in front shot crossbow arrows one after another, and the arrows rained down, and immediately the bandits fell in a batch, screaming again and again. And the opponent's bow and arrow hit, but it was blocked by the armor worn by the soldiers, and it clanged. Taking advantage of the panic of the other party, the soldiers drew their swords and rushed forward.

Zhao Lin took the lead, and as soon as the spear in his hand was raised, someone broke his soul, the spear swept, and the bandits flew sideways.

When Zu Zhenlin saw the bandits in front of him and the tragic situation of Lijia Village, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart, and he also rushed out directly, slashing and punching, and wantonly killing. Li Cao followed him, also red-eyed, and gradually let go of his hands and feet.

Zhao Ting also joined the battle group, facing the corpses and blood flowing all over the ground, without the slightest discomfort, her eyes were firm, her actions were quick and ruthless, and she was not a female general who had experienced battlefield battles.

Zhao Lao Er had already said the characteristics of their bandit leader, an old man, tall and thin, with shriveled skin. Zhao Lin and other generals were looking for him. The soldiers all knew the characteristics of the bandit leader and searched for it among the bandits.

Suddenly, a light lit up, fiery red and dazzling, and the soldiers who stopped in front were not opponents at all, and five people died in an instant. Zhao Ting instantly noticed the vision, a thunderbolt flashed, and she had already arrived in front of the old man. Thunder rolled above the long sword, dazzling and dazzling, slashing through the sky.

The tall and thin old man had to retreat, and the old man glared angrily, "Who are you?"

Zhao Ting smiled: "The one who took your life." ”

With a flick of the long sword, the sword flew out.

The old man's pupils shrank, he felt the danger, the aura in his body was surging like a big river, his palms slapped out, his palms turned into flames, and two flames blocked in front of him.

However, the purple sword encountered the flame, and a wisp of purple electricity was separated from it, the flame was annihilated in an instant, the sword continued to move forward, and the aura condensed in front of the old man, like a red shield, but unfortunately it was shattered at a touch, and the purple electric sword shot directly through the eyebrows, and the old man's face was full of unwillingness.

Zhao Lin also found a cultivator, and the spear was pressing, and he was pierced through the heart.

The bandit leader was executed, the robbers were powerless to resist, and after seeing their companions fall to the ground, they recognized the reality, they were not opponents, and when the fighting spirit subsided, and when they saw the corpses on the ground, fear surged into their hearts, and they immediately knelt on the ground and threw away their weapons.

Zhao Lin led people to clean up the battlefield, tied up all the prisoners, and when the time came, it was estimated that none of them could escape, and all of them were beheaded, and behind the village, twenty women and nine children were found.

Zhao Lao Er saw a woman who was a little thin and had freckles on her face, holding a four or five-year-old boy in her hand, but her face was sallow, and she immediately broke free from the person who was holding him and rushed over.

After the woman saw Zhao Laoer, her nervous expression eased.

"It's okay, it's okay. Zhao Lao Er held his son in his arms and looked at his wife and comforted.

After cleaning up the battlefield, take the people away. Put all the prisoners in the prison of the nearest city, and when they have finished clearing the bandits' den, they will be brought back to be disposed of.

Next, Zhao Ting led people to exterminate three more bandit nests, which went very smoothly, but the murderer of the village and town was not found. Returning to Fucheng, Zhao Ting celebrated the triumph and went out to suppress the bandit army for a big banquet and chartered the entire restaurant.

Staggered, laughter.

Li Jiu was handy, drinking cup after cup, but as he said, his face did not change, and he was not drunk, "Wu Chang, I know you are powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful, I'm afraid you are not worse than our Zhao Duwei, it really makes me admire, one day you will be on the rise, but don't forget the brothers, I salute you." ”

Zu Zhenlin picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and admonished: "Okay, just drink it to your heart's content, don't get yourself drunk." ”

"Captain Wu, don't worry, I'm not drunk for a thousand cups, it's okay. Li Jiu said proudly.

"Even if you don't get drunk in a thousand cups, you have to pay attention, if you make a mistake, I can't spare you,"

Zhao Lin smiled and came over with a wine glass.

Li Jiu immediately confessed, "What Captain Du said is true. ”

"Come, let's have a drink, this time the cooperation is good, continue to work hard in the future. ”

The crowd drank it all.

Zu Zhenlin pretended to be careless and asked, "Captain Zhao, when I came, I heard that the neighboring countries wronged us and slaughtered their people, what was the result?"

Li Jiu immediately came to his senses, "Captain, are they talking nonsense? How could our Yan army do such a thing? Are they planting false accusations?"

Zhao Lin's expression became a little more solemn, "I can't conclude that it was a false accusation, the weapons in their hands have confirmed that they are ours, but we haven't found out who did it, the prince asked people to check the army and weapons depots in the four states, but they didn't find it, and they didn't lose the weapons." This is not a big lady to step up the crackdown on the bandits, just to find out if someone is colluding with the bandits. ”

Li Jiu was upright and said angrily: "Damn, it's really inhumane." ”

Zhao Lin smiled: "What, Zhenlin is interested in this matter?"

"Oh, it's just that I heard someone say it on the way here, and I'm just a little curious. Zu Zhenlin said.

The crowd rejoiced until midnight before returning to the camp.

-----

On the Jinluan Palace, the civil and military are separated, and the emperor is in court. When the driver said: "There is a chapter out of class, and there is nothing to do." ”

Before he finished speaking, a person came out with a crying voice and shouted: "Your Majesty, make the decision for Weichen." ”

At first glance, it was Liu Miao, the squire of the military department.

"Liu Aiqing, what's wrong with this? Emperor Yan asked.

Liu Miao cried: "Your Majesty, Weichen went to the border to investigate by holy order, but I don't know that King Yan was arrogant and domineering, and he tortured the ministers with a rod for no reason, insulting me. And he refused to obey the edict, he simply had no eyes on the king, and asked the emperor to punish the crime. ”

Liu Miao cried bitterly, spoke from the bottom of her heart, and said it movingly. After hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly.

"Liu Aiqing, the ministers of the border pass are different from what you said, saying that you rely on your identity as a messenger, have no one in your eyes, act recklessly, and connive at your subordinates, right?"

When Liu Miao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and felt that something was wrong, how could the emperor's attitude change, and then suddenly, it must be the emperor who asked me to talk more about King Yan's crimes, so that I could condemn it.

"Your Majesty, King Yan controls the military and political affairs of the four states at the border gates, and all the officials there are assessed and appointed by him, and he has long been the leader of the horse. Your Majesty, this time Weichen went down and found that the officials there didn't know the holy decree at all, only the king's order, how could he get it if he went on like this?"

Emperor Yan slapped the dragon chair and shouted: "Stop, Uncle Yan Wang has been stationed at the border for many years, resisting the Great Yan, with outstanding military achievements and high achievements in hard work, how can you slander him? Someone came and took his official clothes and hats. ”

Liu Miao was shocked, "Your Majesty, you can't, the minister is loyal to you, Lord Zhuguo pleads for me, pleads for me." ”

No matter how he roared, no one interceded for him, and there was no more flattery of the officials when he was favored.

The armored warrior went up to the temple, took him off his court clothes, and then carried him out.

It can only be said that the monarch is unpredictable, and the emperor's heart is difficult to guess.

Prime Minister Sun Cheng walked out of the train and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister recommended people for negligence, please punish the emperor." ”

"What crime does Zhu Guogong think should be received?" Emperor Yan asked rhetorically.

"In recent days, the old minister has been dealing with political affairs, and he has not had enough energy and is unable to do his job. Although there was no big mistake this time, it also made the old minister understand that he could no longer share his worries for the emperor and plan for the country. ”

As soon as Sun Zhuguo's words came out, the court was in chaos, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Emperor Yan coughed lightly, suddenly quiet, and said with a smile: "Zhu Guogong's words are serious, I see that Zhu Guogong is in good health, in good spirits, and can work for more than ten years." ”

Sun Zhuguo knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare to hide it, in order to share the emperor's worries, the old minister just held on, but in fact, he was already old and dizzy, dead wood and rotten trees, and I hope the emperor agrees to the old minister's resignation." ”

The emperor got down from the dragon chair and helped Sun Zhuguo up, "Since the Duke of Zhuguo has decided to resign, then I can't be reluctant, so be it, reward the Duke of Zhuguo with 10,000 taels of gold and 100 acres of fertile land." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen. ”

"Let's disperse. ”

The civil and military officials looked at each other, but they didn't expect that a small mistake in recommending people would actually exempt one from being the head of the dynasty and the old man of the three dynasties. His protégé was even more uneasy.
