Chapter 22: No Return

Li Zhen handed the personal backpack to Uncle Liu: "Uncle, this is a relic that Liu Quan handed over to me before he died, you can keep it." ”

The tycoon of Hangcheng County immediately broke down and cried bitterly after seeing this backpack. Kneel on the ground and look up to the sky and howl:

"My son!"

Everyone burst into tears.

Soon, the family members of the teachers who heard the news also rushed to the city gate, and some fainted on the spot after hearing the bad news. Some knelt on the ground and cried, and some howled in the direction of Yanziji.

Li Zhen wept and didn't know how to speak. More than a dozen people have lived by themselves, and they may not be able to pass the exam......

The principal walked up to Li Zhen with red eyes, and asked softly in a trembling voice: "Exam...... How was the test? ”

"Probably...... Failed. ”

"Ugh."

The headmaster sighed and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Fate, I don't have a dragon vein in Hangcheng County, fate, fate."

Listening to this long sigh, Li Zhen's heart was like a pinprick in pain, guilt, remorse, and shame welled up in his heart.

Maybe, one more chance, maybe, if we can do it all over again. Perhaps, you will choose to fill in those standard answers that will give you a perfect score, instead of sticking to your own thoughts, right?

"Since my son is gone, I have left this to you. Treasure it, keep it safe. ”

Uncle Liu took a deep breath, wiped away his tears and stood up, patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, and left without saying a word.

Lord Zhang Meng's brows were tightly locked, hesitating, worrying about something.

A moment later, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the city, and more than 50 horsemen rolled in. The leader was Uncle Liu, but he saw that he was holding a knife in his hand, and his face was extremely sad.

Behind him were more than fifty followers who also carried knives.

"What are you going to do!"

Zhang Meng burst into tears.

Uncle Liu swung his knife and slashed at the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed and ran wildly. He didn't say a word.

Everyone hurriedly gave way, and watched as this group of more than fifty horsemen disappeared into the rolling yellow sand. Think with your toes to know what they're going to do.

Li Zhen also stepped on the horse and shouted: "I'll go too!" ”

As soon as he stepped on the horse, Zhang Meng grabbed Li Zhen's neck and ripped him off, and shouted, "What are you young people doing to make a fuss?" Give me a good stay in the city. ”

After that, Zhang Meng instructed the people around him: "Gather a hundred pawns and go to Yanziji." The Liu family can't afford to lose. ”

"Yes!"

When the people of the Hangcheng County Government were assembled, it was already an hour later, and the soldiers were fully armed and majestic.

Zhang Meng stepped on a war horse and instructed the rear official: "Take care of the county seat." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

More than 100 horsemen also walked away on the yellow sand.

Li Zhen clenched his fists tightly, his whole body was covered with green muscles, he felt ashamed and guilty.

When they were all gone, they were all scattered. Only then did he re-board the horse for the second time, looked at Qi stunned, and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

Qi was stunned and smirked: "What do you say?" ”

'Driving'

As soon as they patted their ass, Li Zhen and Qi stunned also rode their horses, biting their predecessors and leaving.

"Li Zhen!"

"Li Zhen, what are you doing!"

"Li Zhen is back. Come back! ”

“……”

The teachers and leaders of the school opened their mouths one after another, but their voices couldn't catch up with the murderous intent that rushed out!

It's a day's journey to Swallow Rock, and so much can happen during this time.

It was five hours after Li Zhen and the others caught up with the cavalry of the official mansion, and the people of the official mansion were extremely tired and galloped for five hours, and the people couldn't stand it, and the horses couldn't stand it.

They were resting, Zhang Meng saw Li Zhen coming, sighed, and didn't say anything more this time.

"Haven't you caught up with Uncle Liu yet?"

Li Zhen asked eagerly.

Zhang Meng shook his head: "Lao Liu is eager for revenge and marches all the way. We left an hour late, and there was no trace of it at all. There was too much delay. How did you do in the exam? ”

Li Zhen bowed his head: "It seems to be off the list." ”

"That's it, it's gone. I've heard that your knowledge is the first in Hangcheng County, and if you can't pass the test, Hangcheng County will no longer have extravagant expectations. When you go back, stay at the school and become a teacher. I see you have the qualifications. ”

"Yes."

"Have you rested enough?"

All the soldiers stood up.

"Let's go!"

More than 100 riders re-entered the road again, heading towards Yanziji, this time with more Li Zhen and Qi stunned in the team.

After another five hours, everyone was exhausted, and finally arrived at Swallow Rock.

Yanziji was quiet, without any movement or trace.

Zhang Meng hurriedly asked, "Is it here?" ”

Li Zhen nodded: "Yes, it was in this canyon that day that a horse thief fell from the sky with a zipline. Intercept from the front, chase from the rear. If I'm not mistaken, they have a nest around here. ”

Zhang Meng's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the silent Yanziji and yelled: "It's not good." Lao Liu, they are gone! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that four or five hundred horsemen suddenly stepped out of the canyon of Yanziji, and the leader was a young man wearing the same red official robe as Zhang Meng.

When Zhang Meng saw this person, his heart was half cold, but he forced himself to laugh and said, "Lord Wang." ”

The young man looked at Zhang Meng and the others with contempt on his face, came slowly on horseback, and shouted loudly: "I heard the news that the county lord of Hangcheng County led soldiers and horses to my Jiahe County and plotted to commit crimes, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Zhang Meng narrowed his eyes and said, "There is no way to talk about crossing the border, and the contemptible people are just here to suppress the bandits." ”

"Hahahaha, bandits? Do you hear that? Bandits? ”

The county lord sneered, and the hundreds of horsemen laughed.

"Ridiculous, pathetic, shameful. I don't know if there are bandits in Jiahe County? Don't say that I am an outstanding person in Jiahe County, and the people are simple. Even if there are really bandits in my Jiahe County, will it be your turn to come all the way to do it for you? ”

Zhang Meng was silent for a moment and said, "I, Liu Donglai, the rich man of Hangcheng County, led more than fifty people to Yanziji, and now there is no news. I'm going to look for them now. ”

"Joke! How do you know that the people in your city are coming to Swallow Rock? Are you talking in your sleep? My Jiahe County is what you can search for? ”

"It's not a search, it's a search."

"Okay, since you insist. Then you can go into my Jiahe County alone in the name of a private person to look for it. ”

"You ......"

"What am I? You brought troops into my Jiahe County, where does my Wang have face? Do you want me to sue you for crossing the border? ”

Zhang Meng looked at the hundreds of people blocking Yanziji, weighed the pros and cons in his heart for a moment, and immediately knew a cruel truth. If Liu Donglai really came to Yanziji, then at this time, it would be too late to say anything. Sure enough, it's an official bandit.

"Let's go, go back to Hangcheng County."

"Wait."

Lord Wang spoke.

"What else?"

Lord Wang smiled, pointed at Li Zhen, who was pale, and said, "I seem to have heard that this young man seems to have gone to catch the exam and escaped death by encountering horse thieves from other places, right?" It just so happened that my Jiahe County caught a horse thief in the past two days, and this young man came to my Jiahe County prison to take a look and identify whether it was the horse thief who robbed him that day. ”

Zhang Meng's face changed wildly, and he burst into a shout: "Hugh is talking nonsense." This is a student of Hangcheng County, how do I know horse thieves? Go, back. ”

Lord Wang looked at Li Zhen with a smile and continued: "Young man, don't miss the opportunity, if you were wronged that day. Today, Lord Ben is in charge of you, you can go to my Jiahe County prison to identify it. As soon as you identify it, the official will be able to deal with the horse thief immediately, and then take you to suppress the bandits. ”

Li Zhen's eyes were full of resentment, he could be regarded as having seen it thoroughly, officials and bandits, outright officials and bandits. Calling yourself to identify, isn't that just a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return? As long as you dare to go to Jiahe County, you won't be able to come back for ten lives.

Zhang Meng was afraid that Li Zhen would not be able to see through these things, so he hurriedly grabbed the reins of Li Zhen's horse, and forcibly tore his head and returned: "Go back to Hangcheng County." ”

More than 100 rides, quietly returned.

"Hahahaha,"

Swallow Isori let out an earth-shattering laugh.

Lord Wang pointed to the people who were walking away, and his eyes were full of mockery: "Bandits? Hahaha. Still bandits? Ten dares for you, do you dare to step into Yanziji? ”

At this time, someone stepped forward and whispered: "What to do with the more than 50 people from Hangcheng County?" ”

Lord Wang's eyes were cold: "You dare to take revenge?" Kill it. Do it cleanly. ”

"Yes!"

The sword is shining and the blood is flowing like a river.

Since then, Liu Donglai has taken people to Yanziji and never returned......
