Chapter 028: Wind and Rain
The rain did not stop, and the dark sky seemed to be pressed down.
At this time, Ping'an Town was already like a dead city, shrouded in a rising wet fog.
A few wild cats hiding in the cowshed on the street, sheltering from the rain, suddenly screamed in unison, climbed in all directions and fled.
Trample.
In the rain, a yellow horse in armor came to a halt. On horseback, a general wearing a tiger and silver armor raised his head coldly and looked around.
On the skirt of the horse's belly, there is also a crescent halberd. On the crescent halberd, there were traces of crusted blood.
"Drive!"
The general suddenly raised the reins and grabbed the crescent halberd under the horse's belly.
The hundreds of battalions that followed behind didn't understand what was going onβ
Rumble.
In the rain, the general jumped up on his horse, stretched his halberd in his arms, and swept towards a wooden house on the side of the street.
The dust and debris flew, the wooden house was opened, and four Jianghu people wearing bamboo hats jumped up and drew their knives.
Bell, bell, bell.
The crescent halberd opened and closed widely, shaking the long knives of the three Jianghu people down, and quickly galloping and stabbing wounds. The last one of them rolled over, and from the other direction, roared and slashed at him.
"Quacks!"
The horseback general's voice was like thunder, and the crescent halberd in his hand was thrown in an instant, piercing the last Jianghu man who rushed in mid-air, connecting the entire corpse, flying out more than ten steps until it stopped, and stuck on a wall.
The battalion soldiers who followed behind, after being stunned, instantly erupted into crazy cheers.
"General Xu is mighty!"
"Phew." The general reined in his horse and stopped, walked over to the wall, and drew back the crescent halberd. The pierced corpse had not yet breathed, coughing up blood and puffing out its eyes.
"You people are the moths of the dynasty. Eating the rice of the dynasty, but destroying the entire granary. β
"General Xu...... Have you seen how many people starved to death outside the granary? β
"Knowing the internal and external troubles, we should share the same hatred for the enemy."
The Jianghu people who were picked on the crescent halberd coughed up blood and laughed, and slowly closed their eyes.
Xu Lingjun was expressionless, took the body down, walked a few more steps, and put it in the cowshed on the side of the street.
Heavy rain is still falling.
Xu Lingjun stepped on the tiger's head and turned over again.
"General Xu, those petty officials are following their butts to clean up the aftermath again." One of the lieutenants who followed behind had a funny tone.
"Hugh is talking nonsense, they are all my Da Ran's public officials." Xu Lingjun raised his head, and after looking at it, his eyes showed a hint of curiosity.
It was a clothed catcher, who was doing light work in the rain, like a black swallow sweeping in front of him.
"I've seen General Xu in the foreign office, and the rescue is late, so I ask the general to forgive me."
"Xia Zhutou, meet again. If you are free, come to the official shop tomorrow for tea. β
"In addition, I have planned to behead the rebels who have recently been arrested in the city in three days at the stone platform outside the east city gate. I also asked Xia Zhutou to bring some people to the Dharma Guarding Field. β
"General Xu, I still have to maintain law and order in the city-"
"Don't forget Xia Zhutou, I, Xu Lingjun, am also the governor of Ping'an Town now. As a public official in Ping'an Town, you have to listen to me. β
"Humble duty understands ......"
"I heard that you Xia Chong has the ability to break tiger bones, and when this incident passes, it is better to come to me and be a former general first."
Xia Chong gave up.
"Remember, three days later, the stone platform outside the east gate was going to kill chickens and monkeys to deter the thieves!"
Xu Lingjun laughed, re-mounted the armored horse, and led hundreds of battalions to the front army.
Xia Chong retracted his movements, looked at the departing battalion army, and then looked at the mess around him, standing silently in the rain, not moving for a long time.
β¦β¦
"Wow-"
Yu Shan sat in the courtyard of Tang Village, probably caught a cold, and coldly sneezed an unusual person, and Xing Xiaojiu, who was lying on the bench, fell down in shock.
was hit by the arrow's buttocks, but unfortunately landed on the ground first, and the pain made Xiao Jiu grin.
"Yu Shan, you belong to a bear!"
"You tricked me into falling into the pond earlier! Come and compete with me! β
"I don't, I'm brave enough to pee in the wind!"
Chen Jing rubbed his forehead and walked to the edge of the courtyard. After fighting an old bandit, the two or three days that were free, although it was leisurely, I always felt that something was missing in my heart.
Originally, I thought that I would take the opportunity to go into the mountains to see if there were any good things hidden in the old bandits' den. But soon, this idea was abandoned by Chen Jing, and he became a bunch of old dogs, what treasures did he expect to hide?
"Childe, Childe Chen!" At this time, a villager rode a horse and hurried back from the entrance of the village.
"What?"
"Ping'an Town has an official list!"
"How?" Chen Jing was not very happy. Mr. Big's matter has not been resolved yet, and General Xu, who was transferred abroad, will definitely not give up.
I heard that the nearest battalion has increased to more than 5,000 people.
"Chen Gongzi, it's a matter of beheading. Two days later, on the stone platform outside the east gate of Ping'an Town, 19 rebels were beheaded. β
Chen Jing was silent for an instant. He understands that this is not only a deterrent, but also a trap to lure the enemy.
I have to say that the general surnamed Xu can be regarded as a scheming person.
Waiting for the villagers to leave, Chen Jingcai sat down and thought about the current situation.
There is no doubt that it must have been the people of the old party who had the upper hand, otherwise Mr. Big would have entered Beijing long ago. And in the capital, the new emperor, who supported the reform of the law, was still playing chess, and was struggling with the people of the old party.
"Xiao Jiu, can you drive a carriage?"
Compared with Yu Shan's naivety, Xing Xiaojiu is more suitable for following out. And Yu Shan stayed to protect Song Yu and Xingqiu.
"The owner, sometimes there is blood, but it is not a big problem." Xing Xiaojiu stopped bickering and hurriedly ran over.
"Get ready, early tomorrow morning, follow me to Ping'an Town and go to the east gate. Remember to bring the wooden box with the head. β
"The owner, can you change military merits?"
"Take it first."
β¦β¦
The rain had not stopped, and the next morning, the sky was still dark, and there was no light in sight.
Xing Xiaojiu put on his robe, pinned the knife, and moved the head into the carriage.
"Xiao Jiu, put a mattress blanket on the car, be careful to break the wound."
"Yes, yes."
Chen Jing got into the carriage, looked at Song Yu who was standing in the courtyard, and waved his hand with a smile.
The old short sword that captured the old bandit was also tied to his waist at this time.
"Let's go."
Xing Xiaojiu put on the hat and slowly picked up the reins.
On the muddy village road, the carriage staggered and drove all the way forward.
