Chapter 17 Audacious

This drum beating is really not the right time, the people in the yamen are discussing the important matter of dealing with the bandits, and now there is no time to deal with other cases.

The county commander frowned, waved his hand, and ordered the officials to go out and send the drum-beaters away.

Zhao Zheng didn't want others to disturb him, but after thinking about it, maybe the people who came here were just for the bandits, not trivial matters. Just in case, he proposed to bring in the drummer first, and ask briefly about the situation.

After revealing his identity, Zhao Zheng's words still carried a lot of weight. The county order obviously gave Zhao Zheng a lot of face, nodded, and immediately changed his mind, and instead ordered the officials to bring the people who beat the drums and voiced grievances into the court.

The official took the order and left, and soon led three people into the court. These three people are two men and one woman, and the two men are not very good-looking, and their facial features are very defective. As for the only woman, she was quite watery, with a handsome melon seed face, a pair of big watery eyes on her face, and her skin was very white, as if she could drip water.

When everyone saw this woman, they were all a little moved, even Zhao Zheng was no exception.

Others are moved only because of the beauty of the woman, and a woman like this is rare in this land. However, Zhao Zheng was not moved by the woman's beauty, he had seen a few beauties on the rivers and lakes, and he had a certain immunity, so he would not make such a fuss. He was moved because he recognized the woman's identity.

This woman is not an outsider, but the lady of the owner of Yuezhao Mountain Village. Lu Xingyue!

This Lu Xingyue is not an ordinary person, he has been taught by celebrities, instructed by masters, and is the best at playing willow leaf flying knives, so he got such a nickname. This seemingly soft and boneless delicate body, but with the cultivation of the Seven Heavens, it should definitely not be underestimated.

"Why is this woman here? She is Zou Tianjin's wife, she is a thief mother-in-law, and the thief mother-in-law specially came to the official mansion, which must not be a good thing. Zhao Zheng crossed such a thought in his heart, and secretly raised his vigilance, and his eyes became a little sharper.

Lu Xingyue walked into the court with a curling face, her eyebrows rolled, and she glanced around, seeing the situation in the court clearly. Her eyes glanced at the two thieves kneeling on the ground twice, and then at Zhao Zheng's body, but her face did not show any superfluous expression.

Because the two thieves were kneeling on the ground and couldn't turn back, they couldn't see Lu Xingyue and the others clearly, so they didn't say anything. If the two of them saw Lu Xingyue come in with their own eyes, they would definitely not be unresponsive.

"Who is coming, and why are you beating the drum and crying out for grievances?" The county magistrate raised the official stand again, slapped the startled wood heavily, and asked.

"My lord, you have to be the master of the people!" Lu Xingyue shouted in a sharp voice, stretched out her jade-like fingers, and pointed at the two strong men who came with her, "The folk girl opened a steamed bun shop in the county, and these two people not only didn't give money after eating the steamed buns, but also beat my man. ”

Hearing that it was such a trivial matter, the county magistrate showed impatience, waved his hand and said: "This official is discussing the major matter of dealing with Yuezhao Mountain, how can you have time to deal with such a small case, you leave quickly and mediate by yourself." ”

"My lord, how can this be said to be a small case? Not only did they beat my man, but they also cut me, and the injuries were not light. Lu Xingyue said pitifully.

Fighting and wounding people with knives is obviously not a case of the same level, the county order regained his solemn look, and scanned Lu Xingyue's body with his eyes, looking for the so-called knife wound, but he couldn't find it. He wondered, "Where is that knife wound?" ”

"My lord, here it is, you take a good look." Lu Xingyue's watery eyes flashed with a sly and ruthless color, bent down slightly, and reached out to hook open the placket, revealing two plump arcs.

The county commander never expected that Lu Xingyue would make such a move coldly, and the ravine was really sultry, so he was stunned for a while.

Although this * light is beautiful, it is a beautiful trap, and under that ravine, there is a delicate dart sac, which hides several bright willow leaf flying knives!

I didn't see how Lu Xingyue moved, and a cold light immediately shot out from the dart bag, and went straight to the eyebrows of the county commander.

However, just when the Willow Leaf Flying Knife was just halfway there, two fingers suddenly stretched out out of thin air and clamped at the Willow Leaf Flying Knife, and actually clamped the powerful Willow Leaf Flying Knife!

The person who made the shot was naturally Zhao Zheng, who had been secretly guarding against Lu Xingyue and the others, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately made a move and clamped the willow leaf flying knife.

The darts of the Sevenfold Heavenly Martial Man were really not so easy to catch, even if Zhao Zheng had an absolute advantage in strength, he was still slightly injured, his fingers were cut a little, and a little blood beads were overflowing, but it was not a big deal.

"Willow leaf flying knife, worthy of the name." Zhao Zheng flipped his fingers and flicked it, and the blood-stained willow leaf flying knife flew out in response to the sound, penetrating into the stone slab at Lu Xingyue's feet, and disappeared by root, leaving a small black hole in the air.

Lu Xingyue changed color slightly, took a step back and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why do you want to harm me? ”

"It seems that you didn't eavesdrop on the conversation in the yamen before you entered the door, otherwise, you should know who I am." Zhao Zheng said lightly.

"Hehe, I really didn't eavesdrop on the conversation here, it seems that I miscalculated. I thought that there were still people in this yamen, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but I didn't expect you to be killed halfway. Lu Xingyue sneered. This time, she brought two of her right-hand men over, and she fought the idea of assassinating the county commander, which in turn made the local area even more chaotic. This abacus played well, but I didn't expect to miscalculate the account and meet Zhao Zheng such a hard idea.

"Since you didn't hear that conversation, I'll say it again, my name is Zhao Zheng, and I am a member of the Taishan faction. As for why I made the move, I don't need to say anything more. You Yuezhao Mountain has been doing a lot of injustice recently, killing people everywhere, this person from the Yamen Gate is the biggest force that can resist you at present, I naturally can't watch you kill the county magistrate here. Zhao Zheng still had that flat tone, but there was obvious hostility between his words.

All this happened very quickly, and it was only at this time that the county order reacted, and vaguely understood something, and his face was covered with cold sweat with fright, as if he had lost his soul.

As a martial artist, the head catcher naturally saw Lu Xingyue's unkind intentions, his eyes widened, and he shouted at his brothers to copy the guy against the enemy. The officials in the public hall each pulled their swords and surrounded Lu Xingyue and the three of them, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

As for the two thieves who were caught by Zhao Zheng before, they also recognized the identity of Mrs. Zhai at this time, and they were all happy, happier than seeing their own mother.

Zhao Zheng disliked the noise of the two thieves, shook his hand twice, and sealed the acupoints of the two thieves, and the two fell unconscious.

Catching the willow leaf flying knife with his bare hands, coupled with casually pointing at the acupoints of the two thieves, these two kung fu skills are more beautiful than the other, and a few simple movements show Zhao Zheng's extremely good skills.

Lu Xingyue's face changed again, becoming more dignified, her pretty face was full of anger, and she said angrily: "Your Excellency is so handsome, with you sitting here, it seems that we can't get anything cheap today." Brothers, the wind is howling! ”

"Since you're here, don't go. Leaving you here will make Yuezhao Mountain a rat trap and restrain it. Zhao Zheng naturally couldn't let Lu Xingyue leave simply, pulled out the Zichu sword, attacked it on tiptoe, and opened the Canglong sword technique, and the sword condensed into the shape of a dragon's head, and there was a faint whistling sound. The combined strength of Lu Xingyue's three people could not be the opponent of him, an eightfold heavenly martial artist, so he didn't make a fuss and released the rest of the swords, but only used one sword to fight the enemy.

This sword alone made Lu Xingyue and the three of them suffer, the dragon-shaped sword qi was fast and ruthless, and in a flash, it turned around the three of them, scaring the three of them into retreating. Among these three, Lu Xingyue's kung fu is the best, and he has reached the Sevenfold Heaven Realm, while the other two have no such ability, only the cultivation of the Sixfold Heaven Realm. The two men were unable to dodge, and both suffered minor injuries of varying degrees, and their clothes were all cut out.

Zhao Zheng was determined to fight quickly, and as soon as he made a move, it was a continuous offensive, and after forcing back the three people, he immediately used the second move "Canglong Descending to Earth", the sword momentum poured down from top to bottom, like raindrops, and at the same time shrouded the heads of Lu Xingyue and the three people. He dealt with three people with the strength of one person, but he still had the upper hand, forcing them into a dangerous situation. Lu Xingyue and the three of them dodged in a hurry and retreated in different directions, but the two who were not good at martial arts were injured again and became even more embarrassed.

"Everyone quickly retreat, lest you be injured by the sword qi! Lean against the door, close the door, don't let these Assassins escape! The head catcher had a bit of eyesight, and saw that this battle was not something that ordinary martial artists could mix, and if he got too close, he would have to be involved, so he immediately reminded loudly.

The servants dispersed, and several people ran to the door.

When the officials made some moves, Zhao Zheng had already attacked more moves, and used a complete set of Canglong swordsmanship to run smoothly, forcing Lu Xingyue and the three of them to only have the ability to parry and not fight back. When he reached the sixth move, he finally cornered one of them and had nowhere to run. He took the opportunity to point out, mixed the kung fu in his sleeve in the sword move, and knocked the person unconscious with one finger.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Xingyue and the others dared to stay longer, rushing in different directions, both thinking of taking the road and escaping. The man who was not strong fled to the yamen, while Lu Xingyue fled to the window.

"Bao, I'll leave it to you at the door." Zhao Zhengqing snorted, leaving the thief who had just fainted, and chased after Lu Xingyue, who rushed to the window.

Ah Bao got a surname, could understand most of the people's words, understood what Zhao Zheng meant, and immediately made a move, and rushed to the bandit who ran to the door. Halfway through, it leapt to its feet, rolled in mid-air, and whipped its claws at the bandit's back. It doesn't have the kind of combat experience that Zhao Zheng has, and the shot is not light or heavy, and this claw goes down with ten percent strength.

Hearing the sound of "stabbing", the thief was caught by Ah Bao and his clothes were broken, his skin was open, he screamed, and fell to the ground on his stomach.

Ah Bao was not polite, and sat directly on the back of the thief, scratching and biting him, showing the side of the beast's surname, and shocked several officials around him.

At the same time, Zhao Zheng had also caught up with Lu Xingyue, and the two were only three steps apart.

Lu Xingyue felt that the evil wind behind her was not good, and suddenly twisted her flexible waist, shook her wrist, and struck out three willow leaf flying knives. The strength used in this hand is quite extraordinary, and each flying knife is wrapped with a layer of internal force light, which has the power to pierce the clouds and break through the sky.

The three-handled willow leaf flying knife flew in front of Zhao Zheng in the blink of an eye, and he swung a sword at the last moment, shooting out a lifelike dragon-shaped sword qi, only to see that the dragon's mouth suddenly opened, and actually took the three-handled willow leaf flying knife in his mouth alive, and then bit it hard, biting it into pieces.

"Oh no......" Lu Xingyue saw this scene, and her heart sank suddenly. People's thoughts are always faster than actions, she knows that something is wrong, but she has more than enough heart and strength, and she is powerless to resist again.

Zhao Zhengyan controlled the dragon-shaped sword qi to spin around, swung his fist at the empty position in the center, and punched Lu Xingyue's back, knocking it to the ground with a staggering step. He followed closely behind, and also fell, stretched out his fingers, and sealed several major acupoints on Lu Xingyue's body, and used quite strong internal force, even if this woman had a sevenfold heavenly cultivation, she would not be able to resist the power of this acupoint kung fu.

Lu Xingyue's eyes darkened and she fainted to the ground.

It's all slow to say, but it really only happens between the lights and the fire, and it doesn't take long to add up.

Zhao Zheng glanced at Lu Xingyue who was lying on the ground, put his sword into the sheath, and patted the non-existent dust on his hand.

"Come, come! Tie up these three daring assassins! The county commander blinked, frightened for a moment, pointed at Lu Xingyue and the others, and said loudly.

The officials responded suddenly, and one by one they acted like tigers and wolves, rushed to Lu Xingyue and a few people, took off the rope hanging from their waists all the year round, and tied them up strongly. Among these people, the one who was caught by Ah Bao was the most unlucky, his back was scratched bloody, and seven or eight of his nine lives were lost.

"My lord, I recognize the appearance of this woman, she is Lu Xingyue, the wife of the lord of the big village of Yuezhao Mountain, this time she came to assassinate you, it must have been caused by the master of the big village, Zou Tianjin." Zhao Zheng pointed at Lu Xingyue and said.

"Fortunately, Zhao Shaoxia is present today, otherwise, the official is only afraid that he will be more auspicious." The county commander had palpitations.

"It seems that this Yuezhaoshan is determined to go against the Great Yan Kingdom, for the sake of prudence, it is better for you to be cautious, and bring more people with you. As for this Lu Xingyue and a few people, they must be strictly guarded, and remember not to take it lightly. Lu Xingyue is Zou Tianjin's wife, and we caught her, which should have a big effect. ”

The county commander couldn't help but nodded, deeply impressed by Zhao Zheng's words, and then asked: "According to Zhao Shaoxia's opinion, what should we do with this Lu Xingyue?" ”

Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and replied: "The most important thing at the moment is to prevent Yuezhao Mountain from launching an offensive against other villages and county seats. We can use Lu Xingyue and others as a threat, let Zou Tianjin throw a mouse trap, and make an appointment with him, so that he can keep to himself during this time and not act recklessly. Take advantage of this time, we can move troops around for help, and your lordship will move troops to the imperial court and lead an army over. And I will also repair a book and send it to the Taishan faction, and ask the uncles and elders in the sect to come here to help. When the time comes, our government and the people will cooperate and we will be able to break through Yuezhao Mountain in one fell swoop. ”

"This plan is very good, so it will be done according to what Zhao Shaoxia said." The prefectural order echoed the road.

"It's not a ploy, it's just a matter of going with the flow. This matter was raised by me, and it should be handled by me personally, my lord, you are taking care of Lu Xingyue and these bandits, and I will come forward to negotiate with the bandits in Yuezhao Mountain. Zhao Zhengren didn't give way.

Then, he put forward some precautions for guarding Lu Xingyue, after all, the strength of the Seventh Heavenly Martial Man is not low, but it is not so easy to guard, and it is possible to escape if he is not careful. In addition, he once again instructed the prefectural order to send someone to notify those villages that had not yet been attacked, evacuate the villagers, and bring them to the county. The county magistrate nodded frequently and agreed one by one.

After the explanation, it is time to leave for Yuezhao Mountain.

Zhao Zheng knew a lot about the situation in Yuezhao Mountain, so he didn't expect to ask anything from Lu Xingyue's mouth, and he could directly skip the interrogation step to save some time.

Before leaving, Zhao Zheng glanced at the thief who was injured by Ah Bao, who was seriously injured and was screaming.

"It's the first time you visit, it's always good to go empty-handed, so let's bring a small gift." Zhao Zheng's tone was cold, and he walked towards the screaming bandit step by step, raised his sword in his hand, and cut off the thief's head under the gaze of everyone.

This time was really beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone didn't expect Zhao Zheng to come to such a hand.

Zhao Zheng looked as usual, tore off the deceased's clothes, used them as a cloth bag, and wrapped his head in it.

It's not uncommon to use human heads as gifts.

The reason why Zhao Zheng is abnormal and has become so ruthless is just to treat others in the way of others. To deal with the mad bandit of Yuezhao Mountain, there is no need to leave the kindness of a woman, which is no different from the war between the two countries, and to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

There is such a gift of heads, firstly, it can prove that Lu Xingyue is indeed in his hands, and secondly, it can also have a deterrent effect on Yuezhao Mountain, and frustrate the sharp spirit of Yuezhao Mountain, otherwise, this gang of thieves will make a fuss.

After seeing the previous fight, everyone naturally did not dare to object to Zhao Zheng's move, but they were indeed surprised in their hearts. Only then did everyone realize that this kind-looking young man had such a cruel and cruel side.

"Bao, let's go." Zhao Zheng commanded, carried the bloody cloth bag in his hand, and walked out of the yamen side by side with Ah Bao, leaving everyone's complicated gaze behind.
