Forty-nine horse bandits were transformed into Tang Jiusheng's temporary guards. Tang Jiusheng took Lu Fangping and the others to turn around and return to Zijunzhou City, more than forty miles away, and ran to it in less than an hour, and the dozen or so guards guarding the north gate of the county city saw a horse team of dozens of people from a distance, all swaggering behind a carriage, running in the dust, and when they got closer, they found that all the people in this horse team were carrying sabers.

More than a dozen soldiers were like facing a great enemy, and several people moved a horse to block the city gate, and some of the soldiers hurriedly ran over and shouted to the captain of the city gate who was napping, "Captain Wang, Captain Wang, don't sleep! Something is wrong! Dozens of cavalry are about to enter the city! They are all wearing civilian clothes, and I don't know where they are coming from!"

The captain of the city gate, who was napping, was startled, jumped up and ran to the city gate, and stood behind the rejection of the horse, his face was frightened, and he looked at this team not like an official army, but more like a horse bandit! The captain of the city gate was very puzzled, where did the horse bandits come from had such great courage to dare to swagger and run to the county town? The captain of the city gate asked loudly: "Where did you come from the soldiers and horses? Soldiers and horses from other places must have an edict from the military department to enter the city!"

Tang Jiusheng's carriage was at the front, followed by Lu Fangping, Tang Jiusheng "shouted", took the carriage, and looked at the captain of the city gate quietly. Lu Fangping was furious, rode forward, pulled out his snowy saber, pointed at the captain of the city gate and shouted: "King Wei Chitose wants to enter the city, and those who dare to block the road will die!"

The lieutenant of the city gate trembled, if it was really the prince who entered the city, he would not dare to stop him even if he had ten courages, but these people did not have any honor guards, how could they prove that they were Wei Wang Chitose? The captain of the city gate had the courage to say loudly: "This general, since you said that you are Wei Wang Chitose's people, please show the official document of the military department or the talisman of Wei Wang! Guarding the city gate is the duty of the humble duty, and I dare not abolish the public for personal reasons, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

"You!" Lu Fangping was angry and anxious, if it weren't for the rejection of the horse, he would really be able to chop this captain with a knife, Tang Jiusheng nodded with satisfaction, although the rank of this captain is not high, but it is very good to be able to be neither humble nor arrogant! Tang Jiusheng was not in a hurry, took out the imperial gold medal from his arms, and threw it to Lu Fangping, Lu Fangping grabbed the imperial gold medal, glanced at it, his eyes lit up, and shouted: "The imperial gold medal of the National Teacher's Mansion is here!"

When the captain of the city gate saw the gold medal given by the emperor, he was shocked, and knelt on one knee with a knife: "Long live my emperor, long live!" More than a dozen soldiers were also frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the mountain shouted long live. The captain surnamed Wang kowtowed, stood up and said loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, quickly move away from the rejection horse, and let the king of Wei Chitose enter the city!" The guards were in a hurry, stepped forward to move the horses, and the captain of the city gate knelt on both sides of the road with the guards, welcoming the king of Wei's car into the city.

Lu Fangping opened the road in front of him, and he didn't need to shout, and the people on the street saw these people riding tall horses, all carrying horses

Tang Jiusheng and his entourage came to the county guard yamen, and the officers on duty at the yamen saw that there were dozens of horses, and they were also startled, and came to ask, Lu Fangping raised the imperial gold medal and shouted, "Weiwang Chitose has arrived!"

When the messenger saw the gold medal, he first knelt down and kowtowed, and then flew in to report to the county guard, Lu Fangping respectfully returned the imperial gold medal to Tang Jiusheng. After a while, the door of the instrument was opened, and Xiong Wenzhao, the county guard, greeted him with officials of all sizes, such as Biejia, Gongcao, Zhubo, Warden, and Scrivener, and knelt down and kowtowed to greet King Wei Chitose.

After the county guard Xiong Wenzhao shouted Wei Wang Chitose, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear that the prince would investigate the matter of not sending troops a few days ago. Tang Jiusheng jumped down from the carriage, hugged Du Ruo, walked in front of Xiong Wenzhao, looked down at him, and didn't say a word. Xiong Wenzhao fell to the ground, trembling, his heart was pounding, and he secretly scolded King Zhou in his heart, "You have made me miserable! Now that this King Wei has come back to take revenge, what should I do?

Tang Jiusheng looked at Xiong Wenzhao for a long time, and then said, "Get up!" Xiong Wenzhao stood up with all the officials, looking at each other one by one, their faces were like earth, they all knew that King Wei was in distress in Wanhua Valley a few days ago, and the county guard received an urgent document from Jixian Zhi County, but he said that he couldn't afford to be sick, and he didn't send a single soldier from beginning to end. Now that King Wei has come to the door, who is not afraid of being implicated in this matter?

Xiong Wenzhao bowed his body, trembling and said with a smile: "The lower officials don't know that the prince is coming, and he has missed the welcome, so please forgive the prince!"

Tang Jiusheng's face was expressionless, and he snorted in his nose, "Those who don't know are not guilty, and those who pretend to be sick if they know are guilty!" Xiong Wenzhao chuckled in his heart, thinking that it was over, this prince really came because of this, Xiong Wenzhao had a smile on his face, and invited the prince to the third hall with a huff, and his subordinate master was responsible for entertaining the prince's entourage.

Tang Jiusheng carried Du Ruo to the third hall, let Du Ruo sit beside him, looked at Xiong Wenzhao coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Tell everyone who has nothing to do with it to retreat!" Xiong Wenzhao was immediately dumbfounded, it seems that this prince is going to attack himself here!

Xiong Wenzhao was helpless, retreated left and right, and even retreated from Zijunzhou. After everyone retreated, Xiong Wenzhao fell to the ground with a puff, knelt up and hugged Tang Jiusheng's thigh, and wailed: "Lord Wang, the lower official is guilty, and the prince spares his life!

Tang Jiusheng sneered, "Lord Xiong, I know that there are some things that are not your idea, and you have just suffered it on behalf of others!"

Xiong Wenzhao kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried: "The prince is wise! Xiaguan is just a small county guard, what do you dare to do? You have to obey the arrangements from above! Xiaguan really has no choice, ask the prince to be gracious!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled: "I know it too."

You have no choice but to say that since everyone comes out to mingle, they always have to pay it back! I can't just let you go, can I? Lord County Guard, tell me, how should this king clean you up? Playing 20 boards, it seems to be lighter again. Alas, this king is also difficult!"

Xiong Wenzhao knelt on the ground, trembling. Tang Jiusheng picked Xiong Wenzhao up from the ground, without internal force, just punched, kicked and slapped, and beat Xiong Wenzhao severely, Xiong Wenzhao's nose and face were swollen, embarrassed, and he didn't dare to cry loudly. After fighting for a long time, Tang Jiusheng said: "Lord Xiong, this king's anger hasn't come out enough, what do you say?"

Xiong Wenzhao wailed: "Lord Wang, you can't fight anymore, if you fight again, you will die!"

Tang Jiusheng sat back in his chair and smiled coldly, "Lord Xiong, you said that this king killed a four-rank county guard, and the emperor won't turn his face with this king because of such a trivial matter, right?"

Xiong Wenzhao was full of heart and gall, and kept kowtowing and said: "The prince spares his life, the prince!

Tang Jiusheng nodded, lowered his head and chuckled, "Okay, this king can spare your life, but this king has a request, this king brings these retinues, and they will be used as personal soldiers in the future, without armor and bows, come to you to borrow some from the county guard, the county guard will not refuse, right?" This king traveled, and he didn't bring enough silver, so he asked you to borrow a few thousand taels of silver, did you?"

As soon as Xiong Wenzhao heard that he could not die, he immediately put on a smiling face, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Wang, no problem, no problem! Dozens of sets of armor and bows and crossbows can still be taken out of the armory! It is even more no problem to ask for silver! The lower official will let people prepare for it! Please wait a moment!"

Xiong Wenzhao was afraid that the prince would be beaten again if he didn't lose his anger, so he hurriedly ran out of the three halls, and the officials were very shocked when they saw that the county guard was beaten into this virtue. Xiong Wenzhao hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go to the armory to take out fifty sets of armor and bows and crossbows, and prepared five thousand taels of silver tickets, so that he dared to come back to see Tang Jiusheng.

Tang Jiusheng was laughing with Du Ruo, when he saw Xiong Wenzhao walking in with a stack of silver tickets, he handed it to Tang Jiusheng with both hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Lord Wang, this is five thousand taels of silver tickets, please check it!"

Tang Jiusheng took the silver ticket, didn't count it, and put it directly into his arms. He also instructed Xiong Wenzhao to prepare lunch, but Xiong Wenzhao dared not obey and sent someone to Zhang Luo. That night, Tang Jiusheng lived in the county guard's mansion, Xiong Wenzhao ran before and after, worked hard to perform, and wanted to make up for his previous losses, and Tang Jiusheng accepted it calmly.

The next morning, Tang Jiusheng took Du Ruo, Lu Fangping and others to get up, left Zijunzhou County to guard the yamen, and when he left, he asked Xiong Wenzhao to leave the city gate Wang Lieutenant, Xiong Wenzhao agreed, and sent out of the city gate with big and small officials, until he couldn't see Tang Jiusheng's back before he dared to go back.
