Chapter 90: Zheng Wujian was captured and planned by Shuangyu Village
Zheng Wujian and the elders rushed forward, and the sound behind them made them truly feel the breath of death. This is the first time Zheng Wujian has led troops to fight, and through this time, he has deeply realized the cruelty of war, and one wrong decision will cost tens of thousands of lives.
It's too late to think about these now, the Zheng family army that is still alive is fleeing frantically under the leadership of Zheng Wuji, where there is still a little warrior backbone, all of them are like lost dogs.
A light loomed in front of him, and Zheng Wujian looked at the light, and a fire of hope suddenly ignited in his heart. That was the entrance to Hangu Pass, and he would have survived as long as he had escaped. Zheng Wujian shouted happily: "Everyone speed up, in front of you is the entrance of Hangu Dangerous Roadββ"
There was a response from behind him, and Zheng Wujian looked back, but saw that there was only one hundred-man squad left among the 17,000 Zheng family iron cavalry, and all the others were killed. Seeing in his eyes, Zheng Wujian felt a sadness rise in his heart, those were all people surnamed Zheng, after a war, all of them became the souls of Hangu, how could he explain to his father?
Zong Wusheng stood on the cliff, waved the big banner in his hand again, the ambush attack suddenly stopped, and tens of thousands of black-armored warriors got up, lined up densely on the peaks on both sides of the Hangu dangerous road.
The closer Zheng Wujian got to the entrance of the Hangu Dangerous Road, the more hope rose in his heart. Finally, he galloped out of the entrance of the dangerous road in Hangu like an arrow, and hundreds of people behind him also escaped one after another.
Death is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that when you just saw hope, you were given a slap in the face and all your hope was extinguished.
The current situation is like this, Zheng Wujian finally escaped from the entrance of the Hangu dangerous road, and was immediately intercepted by the army of black pressure. These armies are none other than the standard-bearers behind Kong Ao holding high a black banner with a big hole on it, which makes Zheng Wuqian completely desperate. Heart, am I going to die? Do I have a chance to survive if they catch me?
The Great Elder was carried on horseback by the Second Elder, and he was already in a coma in pain, and the remaining elders, all of whom were cultivated in the Faxiang Realm, were eight or nine in the Faxiang Realm, and in the face of Kong Ao, who had the strength to fight?
Moreover, there were still five or six elders behind Kong Ao who were eyeing him, eager to break him into pieces immediately.
"Zheng family child, you can't think of it, right?" Kong Ao teased.
"Humph!" Zheng Wujian knew that he was going to die, so he simply broke the jar, snorted coldly, and said: "Today, my Zheng Wujian skills are not as good as others, if you want to kill or chop you as you like, why talk nonsense?" β
"I didn't expect that the Zheng family's children are still quite stylish, a hundred times stronger than your calculating father. If the person who is fighting today is not your Zheng family, with your character, I may really let you go. β
Zheng Wujian didn't speak, twisted his head to the side, stared at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly felt that the moon was so beautiful. People who are about to die will inevitably produce a moment of beauty, and Zheng Wujian is no exception.
A loud shout interrupted Zheng Wuji's thoughts, Kong Ao gritted his teeth and said: "It's a pity that you are the Zheng family, and our Kong family will never let the tiger return to the mountain." As he spoke, Kong Ao waved his hand and shouted at the elders behind him, "Except for Zheng Wujian and the Zheng family elders, no one else will be left, and all these evil Zheng family troops will be destroyed!" β
As soon as the words came out, the six elders of the Kong family jumped up, and the goshawk hunted rabbits and pounced towards the only remaining hundred people of the Zheng family. Once it falls into the crowd, it is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and it will be killed in all directions.
"The Zheng family army would rather die in battle than surrender, and fight with them!" Zheng Wujian looked at the only remaining iron horse of the Zheng family, and his broken arms were scattered by the meat grinder-like Confucian family elders, gritting his teeth and roaring loudly.
However, as soon as Zheng Wuji's words fell, a figure shot like lightning. Zheng Wujian only felt a flower in front of him, the placket on his chest was tightly clamped, and his body was lifted into the air with great force.
In a moment, Zheng Wujian was taken to the Kong family's military array, and before he understood what was going on, he was controlled by several armor soldiers and tied up with a strong rope.
Kong Ao acted so quickly, even the elders of the Zheng family didn't understand that the young master had already been controlled in the Kong family's phalanx.
"Save the young masterβ"
When the elders of the Zheng family were distracted, the elders of the Confucian family seized the opportunity and quickly subdued all the elders of the Zheng family, and were immediately tied up by the soldiers who rushed over.
On the cliffs on both sides above the Hanya Dangerous Road, a wall of people under black pressure shouted at the same time, announcing their victory.
β¦β¦
Langzhou City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord Deng Ying sat upright in the conference hall, and his son Deng Ling and daughter-in-law Yun Huizi were all sitting upright. The three of them stared wide-eyed, and none of them spoke first.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the three of them stood up, all looking in the direction of the door of the council hall. In an instant, the commander of the city guards strode over, and when he entered the door, he clenched his fists and reported: "City Lord, the last general has found out that tonight's battle is indeed between the Zheng family and the Underworld. According to the report from the spies, the Zheng family's entire army was wiped out in Hangu Pass, and only Zheng Wujian and a few elders survived, and they were captured in the Shuangyu Village of Hangu Pass. β
Hearing this, the tense expression on Deng Ying's face eased, and he said coldly: "Since it has been found out that it is the two of them, and we have not received a support order from the Lingzhou City Lord's Mansion, let's let them go dog-eat-dog." β
"City Lord......" The commander of the city guard was thoughtful, and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Deng Ying with a wave of his hand and ordered: "You go down first." β
The Commander had no choice but to leave in a huff.
After the commander left, Deng Ying looked at his daughter-in-law, who was used to asking for advice.
Yun Huizi saw Deng Ying's gaze, so he spoke: "I think you should go to the book to inform the Lingzhou City Lord's Mansion, after all, our Langzhou is under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou." Besides, such a big thing happened in our Langzhou, and its sin cannot be escaped. β
"Then if we are asked, why didn't our city guards suppress such a big thing, how should we respond?"
"Isn't that easy? The battle they fought at Hangu Pass was more than a hundred miles away from the City Lord's Mansion, how could we know? β
Yun Huizi responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, Deng Ying's mind was right, anyway, they fought in the middle of the night, and few people knew, so they simply disposed of the corpses in front of the Underworld Sect and threw them all into the rootless river.
Thinking of this, Deng Ying arranged for all the city guards to be dispatched to the Underworld Sect to clean up the corpses, and be sure to clean them up before dawn.
After the arrangement, Deng Ying showed a smile and muttered: "It's not easy to be an official, it's better to have more than one thing, go to sleep-"
β¦β¦
Inside the double village.
The eastern sky is already white, and the sun will soon jump out of the top of the mountain, sending the first rays of warmth to the earth. In Shuangyu Village, there is laughter and laughter, and everyone is excited.
The villagers were delighted that Master Zong Wusheng dealt a heavy blow to the Zheng family, and took it with him to subdue the Langzhou Underworld. Now the black-armored warriors in Langzhou are no longer burning, killing and looting, and they are singing and dancing with the villagers at this time, which is very lively.
There is a cliff in the mountain behind Shuangyu Village, and next to the cliff, there is a big tree that is extraordinarily thick. The tree was five feet thick, and the branches sticking out of the canopy were the thickness of buckets.
The canopy of the large tree resembles a warrior with a spear in hand, staring at the other side of the cliff, and on the "spear", a prison made of fine iron hangs. Zheng Wujian and the elders of the Zheng family were locked up here.
Zong Wusheng stood on the side of the cliff, smiling at Zheng Wujian in the cage, and did not speak for a long time. Zheng Wujian and the elders of the Zheng family were also arrogant and unconvinced, looking up at the sky, and ignoring Zong Wusheng at all.
After being silent for a long time, Zong Wusheng spoke first: "Zheng Wuxian, I have no intention of killing you, as long as you are willing to write to your father, let him let go of Kong Rong, and wash away his charges, I will let you go." β
Hearing Zong Wusheng's words, Kong Ao and Kong Rong, father and son, who were standing not far behind him, both had nervous expressions on their faces, staring at Zheng Wujian tightly.
"Humph!" Zheng Wuqian snorted coldly and teased: "You gang of traitorous thieves, do you think I can do that? β
Zong Wusheng was still smiling, not in a hurry or impatient, and turned to the people behind him: "Since Zheng Wuxian has not thought about it yet, then we will let him think about it here for a few days before it is too late." Everyone fought all night, and they were already tired, so let's go back and rest first. β
As he spoke, Zong Wusheng walked straight towards the meeting hall of the King of Shuangyu Village. Although Kong Ao's father and son were anxious, they could only sigh and leave.
In the council hall, Zong Wusheng sat in the first place, and two people stood behind him on the left and right, it was Tian Leizi and Chunji. The three kings sat down in turn; The other seats were also full, Kong Ao and his son and the five elders of the Kong family; Wu Jia and Liu Mingluan were also at the banquet.
They didn't go to rest and gathered here urgently, just to study the current situation.
There are suddenly tens of thousands of people in Shuangyu Village, not to mention that there are not enough houses to live in, and there is one of the most important factors, that is, there is not enough food and grass. Zong Wusheng gathered everyone here to resolutely solve these two problems.
Yu Biao pondered for a while, and first spoke: "My lord, I have an idea below. β
Zong Wusheng immediately instructed, "King Yu Biao, please come and listen." β
Yu Biao then said: "Shuangyu Village is blocked by the dangerous road in Hangu, and it is impossible to break through without hundreds of thousands of troops. So many of us have set up camp in Shuangyu Village, and we don't have to worry about it. β
As he spoke, Yu Biao got up and walked towards the door of the chamber, and said as he walked, "Your Excellency, please come out and have a look." β
Everyone got up from their seats, followed them to the outside of the council chamber, and looked in the direction of Yu Biao's finger. The direction Yu Biao pointed to was the mountain behind Shuangyu Village, which was covered by a layer of dense fog, and it was difficult to see the face below.
Yu Biao said loudly: "My lord, the mountains behind this pair of villages are all flat rivers for thousands of miles, and the land is still fertile. Since the adults have the intention of staying in Shuangyu Village for a long time, they might as well make good use of the mountains and rivers behind them and turn them into fertile fields. At present, the grain stored in the village can accommodate 30,000 people until next year's harvest, so that the grain problem can be solved. β
Zong Wusheng nodded thoughtfully, and remembered Chu Ge's words in his mind - make good use of the Hangu Heavenly Insurance, not go out of Hangu Pass for three years, change the law to strengthen the country, and strengthen yourself.
After thinking for a while, Zong Wusheng nodded and said, "This method is a long-term solution. Then he turned around and arranged: "The second king, I heard that your farming skills are outstanding, so this matter of cultivating grain will be handed over to you to manage." β
"Subordinates listen to orders!"
