Things hadn't been dealt with properly, and a few people hadn't drunk much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that night, Shi Jingtian asked Brother Tie Cheng to send troops to escort Zhang Yong back to the imperial city for treatment, although there should be no life, but such a serious injury is afraid that the injury will change, there is a strong financial strength of the Jindou Dafu firm, what panacea can't be found, at most I will owe him a favor in the future.

When the sky was slightly bright, the Red Army soldiers had already finished breakfast, except for the 500 soldiers who guarded the horses outside the mountain, the remaining 1,500 soldiers stood neatly in the forest and on the lawn, the faint sunlight sprinkled on the blood-red armor, like heavenly soldiers.

"Let's go, let's go to Jiuyao City!" Li Siguang shouted, and took the lead towards the raised mound. You have to get up early, or the tall mound will have to be delayed for an hour.

Bidding farewell to Aunt Dong, Shi Jingtian also changed into the armor of the Red Army and acted as the bodyguard of Li Siguang and Tie Cheng, he had to go this time. And Yuan Yue and her mercenary group did not leave, and after discussion, everyone decided to stay in Yixiongzhuang with the villagers of Zicun for the time being, mainly to prevent trouble, but looking at the burly figure of Siguang leaving, I felt a little lost in my heart.

"Okay, Miss Yuan, don't look at it, everyone is far away!" Aunt Lan smiled.

"What did you say, auntie?"

"The son of the Great General Lihuo, he made a name for himself in the Sun Death Continent at a young age, and he is the leader of the younger generation. He looks straightforward and quick, very similar to you, and it is said that he has not married yet!"

"Auntie..."Yuan Yue blushed suddenly, and before she could say anything, Aunt Lan turned around with a smile after saying it to herself.

Yuan Yue was stunned and didn't know what to think, and then suddenly stomped his foot and chased after Aunt Lan.

On the avenue leading to Jiuyao City, Li Siguang, Tie Cheng, and Shi Jingtian walked in front side by side riding tall horses. Behind them was a blood-red, well-organized red army array, all riding black horses, walking towards Jiuyao City. Dong Fei followed behind with his soldiers, guarding a group of prisoners.

Pedestrian carriages, when have I seen such a powerful army, automatically parked on both sides of the road, and stopped to praise endlessly, this is the elite division of the imperial city, the army that often wins.

Especially as they got closer and closer to Jiuyao City, there were more and more people stopping to watch on both sides of the road. In the face of so much praise, Li Siguang, Tie Cheng and the others did not have a trace of glory, but felt more pressure. Tens of thousands of Li people support the soldiers, but there are still countless bandits of all sizes, such as the Black Lotus Society, who are the party to the disaster, and it is imperative to get rid of them.

The road is getting wider and wider, and the pedestrians passing by are getting more and more crowded on both sides of the road, and the gate of Jiuyao City is in front of it. There is no moat, but the walls like solid stone walls and heavy iron gates show the majesty of a main city.

"It's Jiuyao City ahead!" asked Siguang as he turned his head.

"Well, we met with the city lord this time, and we can only ask about the collusion between officials and bandits, and as for the Black Lotus Society, it's like we don't know anything about it, so we don't say a word!

This matter was discussed again last night, once the city lord of Jiuyao City shirked, there was no evidence to deal with anyone, but let them relax their vigilance for the time being, so that they could have more opportunities in the future.

Li Siguang's face was pale, he didn't talk much all the way, his jealous and hateful personality made him forbear, and he was a hundred unhappy in his heart, but he still nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they had all arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate panicked for a while, when had they seen so many soldiers in bright red armor and discipline. There were more than 2,000 people, and there were no eye-catching banners, but they didn't look like they were here to attack the city.

Just as he was about to report to the city lord, he didn't think that the city lord had arrived, so he got out of the sedan chair in a panic, and without even saying a word, he hurriedly ran towards the army outside the city that had not yet arrived. Behind him was a group of civil officials and generals, all of whom looked panicked and hasty.

Running quickly to the Red Army Brigade, the city lord bent down and saluted, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed almost one hundred and eighty degrees, "Liu Zhang, the city lord of Jiuyao City, has never been far away from the son, and asks the son to forgive the sins!"

A group of civilian generals behind him also saluted at the same time, and no one knew about the Fire General's Sun Death Continent, and even the emperor had to respect a little bit. In his hands, he was the most elite 100,000 Red Army soldiers, responsible for protecting the imperial city. His son heard earlier that he was a master of cultivation, and many people didn't know why Li Siguang came here, and they were all playing a small drum in their hearts.

"Stop!" Tie Cheng waved his hand, and the entire Red Army Brigade stopped at the same time, as if one person was moving, except for the occasional neighing of one or two war horses, the mighty march of the previous moment, and all of them were quiet at this moment. Everyone in Jiuyao City was sighing in their hearts, the Red Army was really extraordinary.

"Excuse me!"

The city lord and the officials all raised their heads, and looked at the city lord of Jiuyao City in front of Siguang, who was not tall, a little short and fat, and was about forty years old. The horse's face appears to be a little long, but the eyes are large and bright, and there is a noticeable black mole on the cheekbones.

It doesn't look like a mediocre official, dressed in a neat and well-fitting official uniform, how can it be a little like he just received the news and came in a hurry. Since he had known that the Red Army was coming, he could still deal with the chaos without being alarmed, and even Li Siguang could see that he must have been prepared.

"I will leave the captives outside the city and keep them in custody, and the rest will go with me into the city. "I didn't say much nonsense from Siguang.

"Please, Leave Childe!"

The city lord Liu Zhang trotted sideways and walked on the side with the officials, leaving Siguang and the others without getting off the horse, and walking towards the city with the mighty Red Army.

Jiuyao City is the main city, and its prosperity is no less than that of the imperial city. It was morning, and the wide road in the city was full of pedestrians and carriages, but it was not crowded at all. There are many wooden buildings on both sides, and the cries of vendors come and go.

This shows that Liu Zhang can be regarded as a well-controlled city, many soldiers of Jiuyao City opened the road in front, and the bright armor of the Red Army made the bustling street a lot quieter.

The City Lord's Mansion is on the side of the avenue, and after walking a short distance, I saw the tall courtyard wall and many scattered tall and low houses, and a few eye-catching big characters on the gate, City Lord's Mansion!

"Fence off the entire City Lord's Mansion and don't allow anyone to enter or leave!" Li Siguang shouted an order, then turned over and dismounted, and the flame knife was in his hand at the same time.

The general of the Red Army received the order, and even if he took over the guards of the soldiers at the gate of the city lord's mansion, the soldiers of the city lord didn't know what was going on, but when they saw that the city lord was all bowing his head on the side, he didn't even dare to say a word, so he naturally didn't dare to resist.

Tie Cheng commanded a group of Red Army troops to surround them along the courtyard wall of the City Lord's Mansion, like iron buckets, riding war horses, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, and guarding against any unexpected situation.

"Hold the gate, and the rest of the men will dismount and follow me in!"

Li Siguang didn't even glance at the city lord Liu Zhang, and strode in with great strides. Tie Cheng and Shi Jingtian followed behind him. In addition to the Red Army who surrounded the City Lord's Mansion and guarded the gates, about a few hundred people walked in with them.

"Wait for me, wait for me!" Dong Fei limped over with the support of a soldier. When he was at the city gate, he arranged for the prisoners, and thought that he had to be present to interrogate the city lord, so he limped to follow.

Li Siguang saw that it was Dong Fei, and he didn't say anything, after all, the son of the great general had the majesty of a natural general's family. Dong Fei followed behind Shi Jingtian, and when he passed by the city lord's side, he didn't forget to snort heavily.

City Lord Liu Zhang seemed to turn a blind eye, and cautiously walked inside with Li Siguang. The Castle Lord's Mansion is not as big as the Imperial Palace, but its area is not small. In front is the business road, and behind is the residence of the lord of the city and two gardens.

On weekdays, all kinds of affairs in the city are handled, and all the institutions are basically set up in the city lord's mansion, with a large open space in the middle, and the large and small rooms outside are clearly hung with signs of the things under their jurisdiction, which are well organized.

According to this situation, there should be a lot of people coming in and out of the City Lord's Mansion on weekdays. Today, however, many of the gates were closed, and the Red Army soldiers were scattered, with two soldiers standing at each gate, except for the residence of the city lord behind. Li Siguang didn't speak, and under Liu Zhang's guidance, he walked straight to the city lord's daily business room.

Of course, the room where the city lord went on his daily business was large, with a desk in the center piled with texts and papers, and a bench in the back. There are tables and chairs on both sides, which should be the seats for the master or political participants to help deal with things on weekdays.

"Liu Zhang, you come in with me!" Li Siguang pushed the door and walked in, sitting on the bench in the middle generously, Shi Jingtian, Tie Cheng and Dong Fei stood aside.

Before Siguang could sit down and speak, the city lord Liu Zhang fell to his knees with a puff, "The city lord Liu Zhang is guilty and is willing to be punished!"

Such a big event as Zicun and Yixiongzhuang, the arrival of the two thousand soldiers of the Red Army and Li Siguang happened less than a hundred miles away from Jiuyao City. If Liu Zhang still pretends not to know, he will be a little unself-confessed, so please take the blame first.

"General Lihuo is in charge of the defense of the Imperial City and the surrounding towns and villages, and I have been ordered to come here today to find out about the collusion between officials and fees in Jiuyao City! "How can Siguang be the son of General Li, and some questions will inevitably be said in his ears and eyes.

"Please forgive the villain's negligence!"

"The crime of negligence!" Li Siguang was furious when he heard this, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he stood up, his big hand was already on the hilt of the knife, and he really wanted to cut off this head with a knife.

Tie Cheng hurriedly grabbed Li Siguang, at this time, he couldn't easily kill Liu Zhang, kill the official at will, and even General Li couldn't bear the consequences. He took two steps forward and asked, "Now that you know the sin of negligence, you will tell me in detail!"
