Swallow Rock, above the top of the mountain.

'Purr, Purr'

A rapid trumpet sounded. At the top of the mountain, more than 100 horse thieves woke up in a cottage.

"Who?"

"Who's playing the trumpet?"

"What's going on?"

"Didn't you say that such a trumpet should only be blown after the most imminent danger?"

“……”

Yanziji's new boss was working on a woman's belly, and when he heard the sound of the trumpet, he almost withered in fright, and ran out without caring about his clothes and pants: "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

A horse thief was so frightened that he cried wolf, and ran over and shouted: "Officers and soldiers, it's a regular army, tens of thousands of people. surrounded the entire Swallow Rock. ”

"Tens of thousands!"

The big boss almost collapsed on the ground in fright, and hurriedly walked to the edge of the cliff to look down, but sure enough, he saw murderous iron horses crisscrossing the canyon. Who knows how many there are? Just look at the people shuttling around, maybe it's tens of thousands, right?

"This ...... What's going on? How so? ”

The big boss sat paralyzed on the ground, wondering in his heart, could it be that the young master had exterminated Yanziji in advance? Could it be that the young master wants to abandon me in advance in order not to get involved?

"Impossible."

"How could this be ......"

“……”

"The big boss, it's Li Zhen!"

Li Zhen!

They are no strangers to this name, the only one who escaped from Yanziji, and the one who lost his soldiers and didn't get it back. The only one who escaped, who was admitted to the top prize, knew that they would never be able to avenge the dead horse thief again in this life.

He's coming?

The big boss sighed and sat down on the ground a little weakly. I didn't expect him to come back, really, I didn't expect that the first thing he did after he was admitted to the top prize was not to go to the capital to report, but to come to Yanziji for revenge.

After all, the Son of Heaven ordered first, who in the world would dare to disobey the order of the Son of Heaven?

Even if you have something big, you have to go to the capital to meet the Son of Heaven first. Who would have thought that Li Zhen would ignore the order of the Son of Heaven at all and turn back halfway to take revenge?

The big boss sighed silently, looking at the iron horses scattered in the canyon, and seeing that the road below the mountain had also been blocked by the iron horses, and knew in his heart that unless he had wings, he would never be able to escape. There is only one way to die.

"When are they going to attack?"

"They didn't attack."

"What?"

“……”

The Ming official frowned and asked, "Since it has been surrounded, there are indeed horse thieves on the mountain." Why besiege but not attack? ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Wait for someone." ”

"Waiting for whom?"

"Witness."

"Witness your revenge?"

"No, witness the hatred of a person who speaks lightly, can you devour him."

The Ming officials were stunned, and the people who spoke lightly? Is it Li Zhen himself? Do others speak lightly?

'Boom'

A moment later, the sound of iron hooves sounded in the direction of Jiahe County, but I saw that the distant sky was endless and a line of black-armored soldiers came on horseback.

On the swallow rock, the big boss hurriedly ran over to look, he thought it was Wang Jixiang who came to save him. Not.

Waving a large flag that reads 'Huangpu'

This is the serious garrison of Southeast State, all of them are real armor that has killed people and spared blood, and they are people who have been on the battlefield.

The number of people exceeds 10,000, and the heaven and earth are connected.

At this time, looking from the top of the mountain, the big boss really saw the scene of the connection between heaven and earth, like a black cloud. There was no sound in the silence, only a neat 'boom' sound.

From the yellow sand in the sky, it goes straight to the swallow rock.

The horse thieves of Yanziji have never seen such a big battle, and all the horse thieves on the top of the mountain are standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the military armor that is like a ray of sky coming from afar, and their souls are frightened.

"How...... How could there be so many people. ”

"It's dead, it's dead, it's going to be dead this time."

"I, this ...... Shall we surrender? ”

“……”

The horse thieves were all panicked.

Although it is often said that there is a big scar on the head, no one is not afraid when this day comes.

Perhaps some people are indeed not afraid of death. But it doesn't mean that there are no nerves of fear, looking at the overwhelming regular army surrounding, that soaring murderous aura is enough to make people's legs weak. No longer afraid of death, in front of this more than 10,000 military armor who has experienced the battlefield, there is no courage.

The big boss sat on the ground, and he had hoped that his master, Wang Jixiang, would come to save him. But when I saw the 'Huangpu Army' overwhelmingly slaughtered, I lost hope at all.

The champion took the forbidden army to attack, and the governor of the southeast state came to cheer with soldiers and horses. Wang Jixiang, the county lord of Jiahe County, even if he is given ten guts, will he dare to show his face?

"Stop!"

Swallow Rock. The proliferating forbidden army gathered, nervously guarding the entrance of Yanziji, and solemnly waited to see the more than 10,000 soldiers who rushed over.

They also have a bit of a weak heart.

Although it was the forbidden army of the capital, there were only more than 1,000 people. And this is the regular army of the Southeast State, with more than 10,000 people. It's not as simple as a 10:1 ratio.

Dong Shixiang, the leader, was wearing a black official robe with a rein.

The Lingqi army around him hurriedly waved the battle flag, and told the soldiers to stop through the flag.

10,000 soldiers were menacing, but the sound of stopping was pitiful, and there were basically not many sounds. After the audience stood still, it was quiet.

Dong Shixiang looked at the forbidden army with a cold eyebrow, and burst into a shout: "I heard that the champion crossed the border, and Dong Shixiang, the governor of Southeast Prefecture, came to escort him." ”

Although Dong Shixiang is informal, he is indeed a good person, as the governor of Southeast Prefecture, how can he not know the relationship between Yanziji horse thief and Jiahe County? If he really didn't know, he would have failed too much as a governor.

But because Wang Jixiang's Laozi was in Eight Dragons City, Dong Shixiang could only give him three points of thin noodles. I also knew in my heart that Wang Jixiang didn't really want to be a horse thief, but just a new official who took office with three fires.

But this time, Dong Shixiang felt that it was time to lose the car and protect the handsome. Whether to tout the benefits of a champion with unprecedented gold content, or to risk reaching the heavens to help a second ancestor who came down to gild has a future. This dialectical question can be thought of by Dong Shixiang with his toes.

Then, since we want to conform to the general trend, we must send the Buddha to the end.

Face? Okay, enough is enough.

Help? Okay, help thoroughly.

Since you choose to stand on the side, then you will completely stand on Li Zhen's side. As for Wang Jixiang, throw him face, he doesn't dare to ask for it today. He couldn't say anything.

The forbidden army whispered for a moment, and hurriedly rode back to announce.

Li Zhen heard the news from the forbidden army, saying that the governor of Southeast Prefecture had come with soldiers and horses, and there was a flattered look in his eyes, and he hurriedly drove his horse to greet him:

"I didn't know that the governor had arrived, and Li Zhen, a subordinate of his rule, saluted you."

Li Zhen dismounted and bowed to Dong Shixiang.

Dong Shixiang nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you go to Zhongzhou?" Why turn back? ”

Li Zhen said: "Come and take revenge." ”

"Oh? What hatred? ”

"A feud in the sea of blood."

"Where is the enemy?"

"Right on this swallow rock, a group of horse thieves with a very good background."

"Did the horse thief hurt you?"

"The horse thief once killed my classmates who were rushing with me to take the exam, as well as all the teachers. More than ten people, more than ten horses, because I died here. If I don't avenge this revenge, I will be uneasy, and I will ask the governor to allow me to avenge my classmates and mentors, and return my innocence. ”

Dong Shixiang was stunned for a long time, and he was very surprised that Li Zhen answered. If you say it according to the standard rhetoric, Li Zhen should be able to say how evil the horse thief is, how harmful the horse thief is to the people, and by the way, the horse thief killed his classmates and teachers.

That's right, that's clichés. What you want to say is high-sounding, beautiful, and makes the world think that Li really wants to selflessly eliminate harm for the people.

But Li Zhen kept emphasizing that this was his personal vendetta. Just mentioned in passing.

This made Dong Shixiang groan a little, he knew that the champion who could let the Son of Heaven write the imperial review would not be a pedantic and brainless person. But...... But he couldn't figure out what Li Zhen thought.

Don't. His personal vendetta is greater than the summons of the Son of Heaven? Shouldn't the only one who can be greater than the Son of Heaven be the master of the people? Shouldn't it be to eliminate harm for the people? At least, it sounds good to say......

In Li Zhen's eyes, there is no such thing as a messenger from the Son of Heaven or any high-sounding one.

In his eyes, this is a personal vendetta. It has nothing to do with any family, country, and people's security.

This is the self who has borne the dreams of more than ten people, and has crusaded against a fair personal vendetta for those more than ten people.

Dong Shixiang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Since he is a horse thief, he should be used to eliminate harm for the people." It should be done justice to this Lang Lang Qiankun. Li Zhen, more than 13,000 Huangpu troops are at your disposal today, no matter how many horse thieves there are in Yanziji, kill as many as you want. They are all people who deserve to be killed. ”

Li Zhen glanced at Dong Shixiang deeply, nodded, and stood aside.

There was silence for a minute, and Dong Shixiang wondered why Li Zhen hadn't acted yet?

"So, what are you waiting for?"

Li Zhen looked at the yellow sand in the distance, and more than ten horsemen came by stepping on the dust, and laughed: "Naturally, I am waiting for the lord of Yanziji!" ”

Dong Shixiang looked back, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly reminded: "This is the lord of Jiahe County." ”

Li Zhen smiled and asked: "Yanziji does not belong to the jurisdiction of Jiahe County?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Dong Shixiang was choked and couldn't speak.

Mingkang, an official in the interior, stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking at the confrontation between Li Zhen and Dong Shixiang with a smile, listening to the open and secret words of the two, and secretly wondering in his heart: This champion once again impressed me.
