Like a swarm of locusts, the rebellious Qiang people plundered the county seat, and then passed through the city and disappeared without a trace, and the county finally regained peace.

Li Zhiyun helped Liu Yinglian to walk back, and they didn't go far before they met Liu Hong, and Zhang Zheng led people to find them. Liu Hong was supported by two nurses and walked over, Liu Yinglian saw it, and hurriedly ran up, grabbed her father's arm, and eagerly: "Dad, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, what about you?"

"I'm fine, too."

Zhang Zheng walked up to Li Zhiyun and said, "Lord Wang, what should we do next?" Li Zhiyun frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Many people have been killed, and our casualties will not be less, let's go back to the post station first."

On the way back to the post station, Liu Yinglian grabbed his arm tightly with both hands and whispered: "You say, what will happen to Miss Wang?" Li Zhiyun's face was heavy and he didn't squeak. What will happen to a beautiful woman who falls into the hands of a strongman? He couldn't even think about it.

Halfway through, they met Wang Xianling. Wang Zhucheng was covered in dust, and his face and eyebrows were stained with black ash, probably because he was burned by smoke when he was fighting the fire. As soon as he saw Li Zhiyun, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, are you okay?" Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "I'm fine." However, Ling Mei was taken away by a sidekicker. ”

"She's here to save me......" Liu Yinglian couldn't help crying.

Wang Zhucheng looked at them stunned, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I know." With that, he turned slowly and walked away with heavy steps. Looking at the back of Wang Xianling's departure, Li Zhiyun's heart was extremely sad.

Wang Zhujun left the county seat with the Qiang people's team, and after walking forty or fifty miles, it was dark, and the team had to camp in the wilderness. The Qiang people set up tents, built bonfires, and began to bury pots and make rice. In the wilderness, here and there a little bonfire pierced the darkness, like the earth and the night sky.

The side asked people to bring a jar of wine, and said to her with a smile: "Sister, this is our Qiang people's Chongyang wine, which was brewed during the Chongyang Festival the year before last, and it has been stored for more than a year, and the wine is mellow and fragrant, I have been reluctant to drink it, I am happy today, let's drink some together." Wang Zhujun was shy: "Master, the little girl is not good at drinking. ”

"It doesn't matter if you're not good at drinking, then drink less." After talking to her, he pulled her to sit down by the campfire, and the two of them picked up the porcelain bowl and drank.

Most of the Qiang people are addicted to alcohol, and they can't do without wine for a day. There is a Qiang proverb: It is difficult to sing without wine, and there are many songs with wine; No wine is not a feast, no song is difficult to entertain. When they were stationed in Longwan Village, they made a lot of wine, which they carried on mules and horses. The Qiang soldiers on the side brought wine jars one after another, sat around the bonfire, and drank noisily.

After a few bowls of wine on the side, he looked at Wang Zhujun with a smile. Her crystal clear face is even more charming and charming under the reflection of the bonfire. The side was itchy for a while, and smiled: "Sister, let's stop drinking, let's go in and rest." ”

"No," Wang Zhujun coquettishly said, "This Chongyang wine is very delicious, let's drink some more." ”

When he heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, then drink some more." Wang Zhujun deliberately poured him wine and saluted him bowl after bowl. After drinking, the consciousness of the side began to be confused, and as soon as his hand was released, the wine bowl fell to the ground, and his body was crooked, and he fell asleep on the ground.

Wang Zhujun stood up and found that the Qiang people next to him were drunk. She walked over to the side and crouched down, drew his saber, and muttered, "I'm sorry, I'll borrow your head." So saying, he took up his knife and cut off the head of the side of the ground, cut off a piece of cloth on him, wrapped the human head, and stood up with the package.

A Qiang man came with a horse and saw her carrying a cloth bag, which was still dripping blood. He pointed at her in horror: "You, you ......" Before the second "you" in his mouth could be spoken, Wang Zhujun shook his hand, and the blade flew out like an arrow, sticking straight into the chest of the Qiang people, and he suddenly fell down like a piece of rotten wood.

Wang Zhujun rushed forward, grabbed the reins, stepped on the horse, kicked the horse's belly with the spurs on his feet, and galloped into the vast night......

After Li Zhiyun returned to the post station, he counted the number of people, and his guards suffered more than 20 casualties. He ordered the dead brothers to be buried, the wounded brothers to be sent to the King of Chu's inn to recuperate, and asked his subordinates to assist the county government to carry away the bodies of the people killed on the street.

After a busy day, after a night at the post station, Li Zhiyun didn't want to stay here anymore. After saying goodbye to Wang Xianling, he led the rest of the men and horses to leave Gaoling County and go straight to Pizhou.

The team walked out of the north gate of the county seat, walked less than two miles, and galloped towards one person and one horse. Li Zhiyun looked up, he couldn't believe his eyes, isn't this Miss Wang? He wiped his eyes vigorously, and when he looked again, it was her.

Li Zhiyun ordered the team to stop, turned over and dismounted, and greeted him. Wang Zhujun rode to him, got off the horse, walked over with a smile, and said, "What, do you want to go?" ”

"Miss Wang, are you alright?"

"It's okay, aren't I fine?"

Zhang Zheng, Cai Hu and several guards who were present yesterday all surrounded Wang Zhujun in the middle, like the stars holding the moon, asking long and short questions. When Liu Yinglian heard about it, she hurriedly ran down from the carriage. She pushed through the crowd, and as soon as she saw Wang Zhujun, she immediately ran forward to hug her, crying and saying, "Sister, you saved me, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life!" The two girls hugged each other tightly, one crying and the other laughing.

After a burst of joy and sorrow, everyone's mood calmed down. Zhang Zheng looked at the horse next to him and said, "Miss Wang, what is the bloody burden on your horse?" Wang Zhujun turned around and walked over, untied the burden from the saddle, and then turned around and said, "It's that guy's head." Then he threw his burden at the feet of the people.

As soon as the burden landed, a bloody human head rolled out, Liu Yinglian screamed in fright, and hurriedly hugged Li Zhiyun on the side. Li Zhiyun's eyes widened and said, "What's the matter, you killed the side of the land?" ”

"yes."

"Oh," Zhang Zheng exclaimed, "Miss Wang, you are really a heroine!" ”

The Qiang people woke up in the morning to find that their leader's head was gone, and they were leaderless. So the Qiang people scattered as birds and beasts, and each fled for his life. A rebel army of several thousand people could not be defeated, but Wang Zhujun was easily dealt with. The news reached Chang'an, and Abba issued an order to crown Wang Zhujun as "Mrs. Chongyi".

After leaving Gaoling County, the team continued to move forward. Everyone stayed overnight, and a few days later, they arrived at Pizhou City. Pizhou City is a big city, the market is prosperous, the population is prosperous, the street is lined with shops, cars and horses, and pedestrians are weaving.

They entered the city at noon, just in time for the meal, and they were hungry. Li Zhiyun decided to let everyone fill their stomachs first, and then go to find a place to stay. There were several restaurants on this street, so the team split into several groups and everyone looked for a place to go.

Li Zhiyun turned over and dismounted in front of a restaurant, tied the reins to the stone, and walked in. The lobby of this restaurant is quite large, with more than a dozen tables, but they are so crowded that all the empty tables in the lobby are occupied at once. When the shopkeeper saw so many guests, he immediately smiled and greeted the diners warmly.

Li Zhiyun saw Liu Yinglian waving at him, so he led Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu over. There were only Liu Yinglian, Liu Hong, Yahuan and two guards at this table, and the three of them sat down at the table and just made up a table. When the shopkeeper saw that the customers were all together, he came over and asked them what they were eating. Li Zhiyun asked Liu Hong to order, and Liu Hong said to Xiao Er: "Just bring up all the signature dishes in your store." ”

"Okay, do you want to burn the knife again?"

"Okay, then drink some and relieve your fatigue."

After a while, the wine and food were served, and everyone ate and drank. There are many customers in the lobby, and the voices are noisy. The diners at the next table, presumably locals, were drinking and talking loudly, and one of them said, "Hey, have you heard?" The night before yesterday, there was a homicide in Loujiazhuang, the whole family was killed, and the treasure was looted......"

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

"Yes, I've heard that, too. Early yesterday morning, Wang Xianling took people to Loujiazhuang, and my baby and his uncle also followed. Listening to him, there are more than a dozen people, and there is not a single living mouth left, it's too miserable! ……”

"Who is so bold as to commit such a murderous crime?"

"Who else? It must be those robbers who kill people without blinking. They may have been eyeing the gold and silver treasures of the housekeeper for a long time. It seems that being too rich is not necessarily a good thing......"

Liu Hong, who was drinking, was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of the guest next to him, quickly stood up and walked over, with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Excuse me, let me inquire below, is the building clerk you just said live outside the building?" An old man in a green cloth shirt nodded, "You're right, it's him." ”

"You just said that the whole family outside the building staff was killed and the family property was looted?"

"That's right."

After Liu Hong came back, his face was very ugly. He didn't sit back in his seat, but switched seats with his daughter who was sitting next to Li Zhiyun, and then put his mouth close to Li Zhiyun's ear, and said in a low voice: "King Chu, something bad happened, the building clerk we were looking for died." ”

Of course, Li Zhiyun also heard the discussion of the guests at the table next to him, and now Liu Hong said that the building clerk whose whole family was killed and his property was robbed was the one who they came from afar and wanted to talk to him about cooperation, and he was dumbfounded: According to this, then didn't they run away in vain this trip?

After a full meal, everyone walked out of the wine shop. The rumors I heard just now made Li Zhiyun feel a little depressed, alas, no matter what, it's better to find a place to live first and settle everyone down. He came to Pizhou for private business, of course, it is inconvenient to live in a post station, but fortunately, there is a Chu King Inn in the city. The city of Bizhou is governed by the state and has a population of nearly 100,000, so he opened two inns of the King of Chu here.
