Since the crossing, Zhang Zhen has never knelt except Zhu Yuanzhang.

He didn't want to make an exception for the county order in front of him, so he could only gently pull the strip of cloth wrapped in the embroidered spring knife behind his back, and the embroidered spring knife inside was exposed.

"What do you think this is, my lord?" Zhang Yan was afraid that Zheng Xianling's eyes would not be good, and he pointed at the embroidered spring knife on his back.

Zheng Xianling looked puzzled, not knowing what tricks Zhang Lu was going to play, but he still patiently leaned over to take a look.

Zhang Zhen also thought in his heart, when Zheng Xianling recognized the embroidered spring knife, he naturally didn't have to kneel, and there were a lot of things left.

It's just that Zheng Xianling looked left and right, and finally scolded Zhang Yuan: "Bold fanatic! How dare you carry a weapon in the court! Left and right, quickly take this person down to this county!"

Zhang Lu was stunned on the spot, this plot doesn't seem right? What went wrong? Isn't this Zheng County Order who doesn't know the embroidered spring knife?

Although Zheng Xianling has been an official for many years, he has been sent out since he was a high school jinshi, and his eyes are not good, so he naturally doesn't know the embroidered spring knife.

Fortunately, the fast arresting officials in the county government have not practiced for a long time, and after listening to Zheng County's order, they also stood still and did not react on the spot.

Zhang Lu took advantage of this opportunity to come directly to Zheng Xianling's side.

Zheng Xianling thought that Zhang Lu was going to be unfavorable to him, and just wanted to shout for help, he heard Zhang Lu whisper: "I am Jinyiwei, and my identity cannot be passed on."

At the same time, Zheng Xianling also felt that Zhang Lu seemed to have stuffed something into his hands.

"You guy, let go of my Uncle Zheng, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" The girl in the red dress also thought that Zhang Lu was going to hurt Zheng Xianling, so she directly pulled out her broken sword and shouted to stop.

Hearing this, the officials in the yamen reacted, they raised the wind and fire sticks to surround Zhang Zhen in the middle, and the officials led by them did not forget to shout: "Don't hurt my family!"

The prestige of Jinyiwei does not only exist in Jinling City, even in a small place like Muping County, there are still various legends of Jinyiwei.

In Zheng County's mind, Jinyiwei is synonymous with cold-blooded brutality, and on the other hand, Jinyiwei is also a guard directly under the emperor's command.

Zheng Xianling shook his head at the people in the ya, and said, "Don't act rashly yet."

The people in the county government began to calm down, but they were still worried about the safety of Zheng County's order, and they refused to leave one by one.

Zheng Xianling took half a step back and covered himself with Zhang Zhen's body, and he looked down, wondering what Zhang Zhen had stuffed in his hand.

It was a pitch-black token, with the word "order" written on one side and three large characters on the other, but he didn't see it clearly because he had a bad eye.

He took the token in front of his eyes and looked at it clearly.

Pretending to be a Jinyi guard is a big crime, which also makes Zheng Xianling initially believe in Zhang Yan's identity.

He quietly returned the token to Zhang Lu, only thinking that Jinyiwei had been appointed by His Majesty when he came to their Muping County, and if he had anything important to deal with, he would immediately salute.

Fortunately, Zhang Lu was quick to move, and he held Zheng Xianling's arm, and emphasized again in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "My identity cannot be passed on."

….

Zheng County Ling understood, immediately put on a smile, grabbed Zhang Lu's arm and said loudly: "It turned out to be a virtuous nephew, look at your uncle's memory, he didn't recognize you at a glance."

This person is actually Zheng County's nephew? Everyone present had questioning expressions, but then they were relieved, and it was normal for Zheng Xianling to not recognize his nephew with this look.

Zhang Yan naturally got off the donkey, arched his hand towards Zheng Xianling, and said, "Uncle, we haven't seen each other for many years, I have grown from a child to an adult, and it is normal that my uncle does not recognize it."

The only person in the scene who had questions was probably the girl in the red dress, he pouted and asked Zheng Xianling, "Uncle Zheng, is he really your nephew?"

Zheng Xianling looked confirmed, nodded firmly, and said, "Is that still wrong? Can I still recognize the wrong person with my discerning eyes?"

You can pull it, everyone on the scene is slandered.

The girl in the red dress raised her head and asked, "Uncle Zheng, what's your nephew's name?"

This question stopped Zheng County, he looked at the girl in the red dress, and then at Zhang Yuan, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Fortunately, there was Zhang Lu to save the scene, he stepped forward and said, "Uncle, my name is Zhang Lu, have you forgotten?"

Zheng Xian Ling patted his head and hurriedly said, "Look at my memory, I really don't accept the old man, yes, yes, my nephew is called Zhang Lu."

The girl in the red dress naturally didn't believe this, she just wanted to say something more, Zheng Xianling had already spoken: "Look at it, this must be a misunderstanding, one side is my nephew, the other side is my niece, isn't this a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, the family doesn't know the family?"

The girl in the red dress stomped her feet angrily, but at this moment, a horn sound came from outside the county office.

Hearing this, the people in the county government did not change color.

Looking at the solemn Zheng County Order, Zhang Yan opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zheng County Ling pointed to the outside of the county office, "It's a wolf! It's the Wako coming! This is the warning horn of the city!"

Zhang Lu couldn't help but break up, and immediately jumped out of the county office, although the county seat of Muping is small, but the county government is still not a short distance from the city head of the early warning.

Zhang Lu didn't care much, and immediately untied a horse at the gate of the county ya, got on the horse and drove towards the sound of the horn.

Later, Zheng Xianling and the others also pulled out of the yamen, and the girl in the red dress stomped her feet and shouted at Zhang Yan: "Eh! This is my horse! Where will you ride my horse, you thief?"

Zhang Zhen went all the way to the head of the city, the city wall of Muping County is much lower than that of Jinling City, in order to save time, Zhang Zhen went to the city wall with a boost.

On the city wall, there are a few people with sticks and hoes, and judging by their clothes, they are all local people.

Zhang Lu didn't introduce himself, but asked directly, "How is it?" Where's the Wako?"

Youmin Yong looked at Zhang Yan, although he didn't know him, he still pointed his finger from afar.

Zhang Zhen looked outside the city wall, and saw forty or fifty men on the shallows outside the city, they were not tall, but the muscles on their bodies were extremely conspicuous, and the war knives in their hands were unsheathed at this moment, and many of them were carrying rather simple siege ladders.

….

Seeing that the people outside the city did not attack immediately, Zhang Yu did not act rashly, and he asked the people around him, "These are all Japanese robbers?"

Min Yong didn't speak, but nodded firmly, and Zhang Lu saw a hint of solemnity in his expression, so he asked again, "How is the combat power of the Japanese Invaders?"

Min Yong looked at Zhang Yuan, there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he replied: "The Japanese Kou know some secret arts, I heard that it is called ninjutsu or something, on weekdays, the Japanese Kou go in twos and threes, so they can force their way into the city tower as if they were in a no-man's land, every time they rob the money and food, they will leave, and they will also kill all those who resist on the way." Sometimes they would go out in groups of a dozen people, and each time they would rob women in addition to their possessions."

Three or two people can come and go freely, it seems that the force value of the Japanese is still quite high, coupled with the influence of many later generations, Zhang Lu really can't figure out the combat power of these Japanese invaders, looking at the outside There are forty or fifty Japanese invaders, so he extinguished the idea of breaking into the battle alone.

"What about the woman who stole it?" Zhang Lu asked again.

Min Yong lowered his head to hide his sorrow, he sighed and shook his head, and said, "All are dead, these robbers will torture the robbed women to death, and then they will move the corpses back to the city wall."

Min Yong said, his hands couldn't help but clench his fists.

These widows are really perverts, and Zhang Lu's mind flashed the scene of the scourge of the land of China hundreds of years later, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and hit the city hard.

At this time, Zheng Xianling had rushed to the city with a girl in a red dress and a group of officials, and looking at these officials, they were no longer lazy, and some were only angry at the widows.

"You thief!" Above the city, there is probably only a girl in a red dress whose face is not so dignified, but the enemy is current, Zhang

He didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Zheng Xian Ling also stepped forward, he looked out along the city wall, but he couldn't see anything with his eyes, he could only turn his head to Zhang Zhen and ask, "How is it?"

Zhang Lu replied, "There are forty or fifty of them, and they have taken siege ladders, and it looks like they will attack the city at any time."

Zheng Xianling couldn't help but take a step back and exclaimed, "Forty or fifty? How can there be so many? On weekdays, there are only a dozen or so at most."

Zhang Zhen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Zheng Xianling looked sad and said, "This is the day that will kill my Muping County! Forty or fifty widows, how can Mu Ping stop it?"

A sense of sadness spread over the scene, and Zhang knew that if he continued, the army would be disheartened, and when the Japanese invaded the city, everyone would become lambs to the slaughter.

Zhang Lu immediately stepped out of the queue and said to Zheng County, "Uncle, where are you talking about this? As a Ming person, I have the determination to defend my country, how can we have a heart of sorrow? We are the shield of Muping County, as long as we are defeated and retreat, then the people of Muping County can only be slaughtered! The nephew is not talented, he has learned some martial arts, and he is willing to live and die with the people of Muping! Even if I die, I'll bite off a piece of the flesh of the Wako!"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, since someone was full of pride by Zhang Lu's words, I saw a servant come out of the ranks, raised the steel knife in his hand high, and roared angrily: "Whoever offends me will die!"

The atmosphere of the scene seemed to be ignited by this sentence, whether it was holding a hoe or a long knife, people raised their weapons one after another, and shouted hoarsely: "Whoever offends me will die!"

Even a powerless scholar like Zheng Xianling was said to be enthusiastic, and his grief was gone, he just wanted to pick up the steel knife and try to cut a few widows himself.

Zhang Lu also arched his hand towards everyone again, and said, "Today, I, Zhang Lu, can resist the Japanese with all of you, which is really a blessing for three lives!"

Night rivers and lakes.
