Chapter Seventy-Two: Surrender
Wang Pu, about forty years old, is the city guard of Hangzhou City, and has been in Hangzhou City for five years. Because he offended the big people in Beijing a few years ago, and because he is old, if he wants to be promoted, if he doesn't make any great contributions, this five-grade Hangzhou town guard can be regarded as the end.
Originally, Wang Pu was also dead, Hangzhou is located in the hinterland, and there will be no war to make meritorious contributions to him. But God seems to be playing a joke on him. Lord Jia Juanjia, who was passing by yesterday, actually found a dragon in the West Lake. This is not a trivial matter, you must know that the ancient legend says that wherever there is a dragon, there will be a flood. Therefore, every time it is discovered, the dragon must be killed first to avoid a natural disaster.
Of course, natural disasters or not natural disasters are trivial matters for Wang Pu, he is an official of the imperial court, and he can be clothed and fed in major disasters. Besides, after the natural disaster, maybe you can still engage in land annexation or something, and take the opportunity to make a fortune. The main thing is that there is a great merit in killing the dragon! As long as you perform a little bit in front of Shangguan this time, and then go up and down, it is not proper to be promoted to the fourth grade, if you are lucky, you may be able to take a positive fourth-grade official. Of course, the premise of all this is to kill the dragon smoothly, otherwise everything will be suspended.
On this day, Wang Pu was drinking with his subordinates to contact his feelings, and suddenly heard that an invitation was sent by the prefect's family. When I opened it, I invited myself to a banquet with wine, and by the way, I discussed the Jiaojiao incident.
In this era, he has always been a noble and a lowly martial artist, and the prefect's official position is one grade higher than him, although the two are not in the same system, the prefect's face still has to be given. At the moment, he cleaned up a little, called a few personal soldiers, and rode to the mansion.
But when they were about to arrive, the family members of one of his soldiers were watching the excitement near the mansion, and when they saw them, they suddenly stopped their group and told them that the evil Jiao was in the mansion. Now Wang Pu was blinded, and after thinking about it, it turned out that this prefect was looking for him to ask for help! At the moment, he realized that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he sent a personal soldier to quickly transfer three hundred elites to directly surround the government office. Then let the family inform the prefect to come out quickly. As for whether the prefect is subject to Jiao, it is no longer within his scope of consideration, he just needs to kill Jiaolong, and it is a big deal to give the prefect a heroic one in the end.
In the palace, Peng Dakang saw that Wang Pu was not taking the bait, for fear that Jiaolong would wronged him for collaborating with the enemy in private, and was sweating profusely to explain to Jiang Tao.
"Okay," Jiaolong waved his claws impatiently, and said with some indifference: "You don't have to be nervous, this king will never wronged you." ”
"Thank you for your trust." Governor Peng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but his expression was not much lighter. "King, now there are hundreds of tiger and wolf armies outside the palace, why don't you run away quickly as the king."
"It's just a few hundred mortals, what can I do?" Jiang Tao said nonchalantly, and then looked at Peng Dakang with the eyes of a spy, "You let me go, you don't want to break away from this king and be your prefect again, right?" ”
"How so?" Peng Dakang's face changed, and then he said with a righteous face: "The old minister is loyal to the king, and he will never have two hearts, how can he have such a rebellious idea." After speaking, he bowed deeply to the dragon on the table, and it seemed that he almost took out his heart.
"That's good," the dragon flew up from the table, hovering in midair. "Mere mortals, not in the eyes of this king. Go, go out and meet their tiger and wolf army. As he spoke, he directly grabbed Peng Zhifu and flew out.
Outside the door, Wang Pu was waiting for the prefect to come out. Although he already thinks that Peng Dakang is more auspicious, if he doesn't say it at all, it will be difficult to explain it in front of the court. Besides, with these 300 elite soldiers in hand, the evil Jiao can't make any waves.
But then Wang Pu couldn't accept it, and that Peng Dakang actually flew out of it. The whole person looks pretty good. You can't be eaten by evil Jiao and become a ghost, right? Otherwise, how can it fly.
I saw Governor Peng flying in front of Wang Pu and landing on his feet: "You are the Hangzhou guard?" An unknown beast roar came, but the sound became an intelligible sentence in Wang Pu's ears.
Following the source of the voice, Wang Pu looked up. I saw a purple-black dragon hovering over the head of Governor Peng's mansion, but it was not big. Why didn't you find it just now, Wang Pu said secretly, but these are not important, now that Jiaolong is in front of him, he has to figure out how to catch it.
Originally, in Wang Pu's mind, the evil Jiao that could cause a flood had to be eight feet long and as thick as a bucket. But I didn't expect it to be a young Jiao with the thickness of a radish and a snake that usually catches the tooth sacrifice is thicker than you, and I should make a meritorious contribution today. However, Wang Pu is an old man after all, although this evil Jiao seems harmless in his eyes, but it can fly in the sky, it obviously has some magical powers, and it should not be careless.
Thinking of this, Wang Pu moved towards Jiaolong seemingly casually, and said: "It's just not talented, I don't know what this Jiaolong Immortal is called?" ”
"You can call the king," Jiang Tao said, squinting at Wang Pu's small movements, but he didn't care, but continued: "This king is wise and martial, you are willing to surrender." ”
There are strange things every year, and this year is especially numerous. Now the dragons will be persuaded to surrender. Wang Pu felt novelty in his heart, but said quietly on his face: "The king's magic power is boundless, what is the use of me as a mere mortal?" ”
"Don't move," Jiaolong said a little speechlessly, "if you want to cut me, you can do it now." Jiang Tao had already discovered Wang Pu's motives, but this old man was so close, why didn't he think about it?
"Hey......" Wang Pu shouted, and at the same time, the saber on his waist was pulled out, and he slashed at the dragon in mid-air from the bottom to the top. At this time, what Jiaolong said was no longer important in Wang Pu's eyes. I want him to practice martial arts at the age of three, and he was admitted to the martial arts champion at the age of twenty-two, and his internal strength and martial arts are all good, if he didn't offend the powerful in Beijing, how could he be assigned to be a guard in this small Hangzhou city. Although he is old now, the opportunity to turn over is in front of him, and he will not give up anything.
It's a pity that his wish is destined to not come true, and under the huge gap in strength, no matter how hard Wang Pu tries, it will be in vain. Before the sword could hit the dragon, it fell to the ground, and Wang Pu's whole person was firmly bound by a peculiar purple-black rope that seemed to be composed of countless tiny scales, and no matter how his luck struggled, the rope did not move at all.
"You people, hey!" Jiaolong pretended to sigh, as if he was feeling sorry for Wang Pu, and said in a playful tone: "Do you surrender now?" ”
"Evil Jiao, you won't succeed. I, Wang, swear not to surrender. Wang Pu was his face, but he was actually terrified in his heart. But he also understands that if he is killed by Jiaolong here, he will sacrifice his life for the country, and the court will definitely treat his family well. But if he descends the evil Jiao, he will be acting for the tiger, that is, he will be rebellious, and when the army sent by the court arrives, his family will die.
"Shout ......" Jiang Tao was shocked, turned his head to look at Peng Dakang, and seemed to say, look at others, much better than you. However, this Peng Governor deserves to be a mixed officialdom, and he turned his face pretending not to care, and successfully resolved the embarrassment.
"Well......" When Jiang Tao caught Wang Pu, he found that Wang Pu's personal soldiers actually drew a knife to cut him, which is worth it, you have to let them know what the difference in strength is, otherwise they will be stupid after becoming their own subordinates, Jiang Tao doesn't have so much time to educate them.
"Whoop ......" Jiaolong flew into the air, its body instantly became larger, and the huge Jiaolong body of seven or eight zhang long suddenly rose above Hangzhou City. With the roar of the dragon, there was also a boundless dragon power that spread in all directions. Whether it was the people in the city or the elite soldiers who fled in all directions, they stopped any movement at the same time as if they had been immobilized by the method, and an inexplicable fear rose in their hearts, and they looked at the dragon in the air with blank eyes.
