Chapter 57: Road Attack
A series of prompts made Zhang Tie a little confused, "Why did the system suddenly upgrade?" Someone in the army has become an officer? Don't? β
Zhang Tie was thoughtful, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but it scared Zhang Long on the side a lot, because Zhang Tie's eyes were on him.
Just when the time was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, the gate of the inner city slowly opened again, Zhang Shun and other candidates walked out of it, and everyone who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward one after another, looking for their brother.
Zhang Tie and the others came to Zhang Shun and the others, and Luo Long asked impatiently, "How is it, is it over?" β
Luo Fei nodded, "The three of us are all Jinshi, and Brother Zhang has become the champion this time." β
Zhang Tie laughed, it seemed that he was the champion in the middle, Zhang Shun said very calmly: "The gold content of the champion this time is actually not high, and the people who took the exam are only people who have just passed the township examination, unlike the official palace examination, all of them are masters who have passed the examination." β
Everyone nodded, this time the champion did not ride a horse, wear a big red robe, and parade around the city like the usual champions, and no one came to rob the golden beetle, which shows that the court and the people do not attach importance to this kind of champion.
Having said that, Zhang Tie still smiled happily: "It doesn't matter what gold content it is, anyway, you are the champion now, go home and report the good news to your parents." β
In this regard, Zhang Shun also smiled, and was full of expectations for going home, thinking of the cute little sister at home.
Several people happily returned to the "High School" inn, talking and laughing along the way, Liu Yi also told everything he saw and heard in the palace, and Zhang Shun on the side also said a few words from time to time, only Luo Fei was still silent, and everyone knew his character and didn't care.
However, Zhang Shun and the three of them never mentioned the matter of being exposed to the sun after the palace test, and there are some things that can not be said casually.
Everyone soon returned to the "High School" inn, called the shopkeeper, and ordered a table of good wine and food.
After drinking a glass of Tujia wine, Zhang Tie exhaled comfortably, "You two are now officials governing the same place, and you can support each other and make progress in the future." β
"Yes, yes, now Brother Zhang Shun is my top boss, I have to call Mr. Zhang when we meet in the future, how dare I disobey, haha." Liu Yi also took a sip of wine, joked, and then asked Zhang Tie.
"But are you two really going back today? Not staying in the North City for a few more days? β
Zhang Tie took a dish of chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and said with a whimper, "No way, it's been more than a month since I've been out now, I'm quite homesick, and now I can't wait to be at home immediately, and you have to go to Biancheng County to take office in two months." β
Gesturing with his hands in the sky, "The border city is far away from here, and it will take more than 20 days to travel, and if you don't go home now, you won't have time to stay at home then." β
Facing Zhang Tie's answer, Liu Yi lowered his head and instantly fell into deep thought, as if he had made some decision, "In this case, I have been away from home for so long, Zhang Long, let's go home too, just along with the Zhang brothers." β
Zhang Longtou, who was eating, did not lift his head, and continued to eat, it seemed that he was already hungry after waiting outside for a while, but he actually didn't dare to look up at Zhang Tie.
"It's all up to the young master's arrangement."
"Since you all have to go back, let's leave as soon as possible, and we should have time to get to a village and rest."
But Luo Long, who was on the side, said that Luo Long himself was a person near Beicheng, and he was originally going to buy a house in Beicheng, but now that his younger brother is here, he can just buy the house.
Everyone felt that what Luo Long said was reasonable, and the speed of eating was much faster.
Several people packed their luggage and led four horses, two of which belonged to Liu Yi and Zhang Long, and the last two were bought by Zhang Tito Rollon.
Now when I went home, someone stopped by and it was not easy to summon horses, so I had to buy two horses.
The four men led the horses out of the city, said goodbye to the two Loron brothers, turned over on their horses, and drifted away, and soon disappeared in the eyes of the Loron brothers.
Riding on the horse, Liu Yi was as steady as Mount Tai, his body shook with the forward and then of the horse, and asked Zhang Shun on the left: "Brother Zhang Shun, you see that we will meet in Beicheng at that time, and then we will leave for Biancheng County together, what do you think?" β
Biancheng County is located at the very edge of Guanzhou, which is also the border of Yan Kingdom, and its geographical location belongs to the inland area.
Starting from Beicheng to Biancheng County, it takes about 20 days to ride a horse and a fast horse.
As the border of the Yan Kingdom, Biancheng County borders Korea and Mongolia, and is constantly fighting and bandits are rampant, especially harassed by Mongolia and Korea.
Although the alliance with Mongolia has just been reached, there will definitely still be some small tribes who will still come to the border to plunder the villages around the border cities and counties.
It is a difficult place to govern, and it is precisely because of this that Xiang Shaolong arranged for Zhang Shun to be the county magistrate of Border City.
"Okay, then we will meet at the old place in the North City." Zhang Shun nodded again and again, both of them are in the same place, and they are friends, and they have a companion when they go together. And the so-called old place naturally refers to the "High School" inn.
This is Zhang Tie on the side also said: "Brother Liu can bring a few more people to go there, I heard that there is a bit of chaos in that place, and it is not safe if there are fewer people." β
Zhang Tie more or less inquired about the places that his brother would govern in the future, especially when he heard that the county order that was killed was the county order of the border city, he was even more worried, and was considering whether to accompany Zhang Shun to the border city.
Regarding Zhang Tie's statement that he wanted to bring more people, Liu Yi also agreed, and it seemed that he also inquired about the affairs of Biancheng County.
At this moment, a prompt suddenly appeared on Zhang Tie's retina.
γDing! Urgent mission! γ
[Survival Mission!] γ
[Content: Survive the next attack!] γ
[Task reward: 30,000 experience, 5,000 system coins, Jianghu order.] γ
There is no yes or no option, and it is obviously a mandatory task, and the so-called mandatory is actually a task that cannot be avoided.
Zhang Tie will only look at the minimap every once in a while during the mission period, or when he encounters danger, otherwise no one can observe the minimap every moment.
And it's only been Beicheng for a long time now, it's not very far from Beicheng, and there are pedestrians on the road from time to time, who would have thought that someone would attack them near Beicheng.
Finding the hint in the retina, Zhang Tie didn't think about it, and immediately pulled the horse rope and let the horse stop.
Zhang Tie dismounted while pulling out the broken army, secretly equipped with a small steel shield, and shouted urgently: "Be careful! If there is an ambush, they all stop and dismount to be on guard. β
When Zhang Shun heard this, he didn't think about it, he immediately grabbed the horse, jumped off the horse, and under Zhang Tie's eyes, he took the Eternal Palace on Zhang Tie's horse, and then pretended to take out the short sword from the horse's bag.
Liu Yi and Zhang Long looked at them with some doubts and looked nervous, and the two brothers with swords and shields stopped their horses with some doubts.
Although I don't know what it is, I don't think I will be on guard for no reason, and both of them also dismounted, taking out the equipment they were carrying, two swords.
At this moment, more than a dozen arrows shot out from the woods on both sides of the official road, and the two brothers Zhang Tie, who had been on guard, blocked them back to back with the shields in their hands and the broken army.
Liu Yi and the two were not so good, although they were a little guarded, they were still in a state of confusion, and made a dodge action before the arrow arrived, but Liu Yi was still shot in the waist by an iron arrow, but fortunately he was given the identity card to the moment.
The four horses were not so lucky, they were all hit by many arrows, blood was flying, and the four horses ran forward frantically, and before they could run a few steps, they fell to the ground and died. "Poison on the arrow!"
Liu Yi broke out in a cold sweat, back to back with Zhang Long, nervously observing the surroundings, "Who!" Sneaky, what kind of ability is a sneak attack, you have the ability to come out! β
There were more than a dozen iron arrows in response, but this time the iron arrows were all one after another, not the first volley, plus everyone was already on guard, and they all avoided this wave of attacks.
Zhang Tie on the side swung his knife and slashed down an iron arrow, looked at the woods on the right that was closest to him, and used the magnifying effect to see the person who was about to draw a bow and shoot an arrow.
All of them were masked, dressed in leather armor, and had an iron knife at their waists. They all had a bow in their hands and were about to bend their bows and shoot arrows.
"It's too passive, it's not the way to defend all the time, there will always be mistakes, and I'm the only one in the means of transportation, I can't hold it down, it seems that I have to go forward and charge, and I can solve them."
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie said to Zhang Shun and the others: "You three, go to the side of the dead horse to besiege the city in a circle, defend well, and I will first deal with the enemy on the right." β
Without waiting for a few people to react, he rushed directly to the woods on the right.
