At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang City no longer had the grandeur of its heyday, and a twilight atmosphere shrouded in the capital.

A thin young man stopped in the street, he swept around, looking a little surprised, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he walked sneakily forward. Suddenly, he felt a little uneasy, so he quickened his pace and ran forward. In fact, there was no one chasing him behind him, but he kept accelerating as if he was being chased and killed, and finally fell in front of an official mansion.

The general He Jin was lying lazily on the chair, and he had no idea of watching the mountain of confidential information in front of him. Suddenly, the guard outside the door broke in in a panic and said, "Big ······ General, Outer ······ ······ outside" He Jin said impatiently: "What is it?" The guard said, "Lady······ Tai Ping Road ······ Taiping Road ······" I couldn't go on any more. He Jin's face changed, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Quick, take me quickly." And he went out with him.

In a forest on the outskirts of Luoyang, two horses were galloping, and dozens of officers and soldiers were chasing after them. Both of them were dressed in black, and they had already been hit by several arrows on their backs, and the officers and soldiers and cavalry behind saw that they were about to catch up, and cheered as they chased.

The person in front of the escape turned back to the person behind him and said, "How are you? Can you still hold on?" The man in the back spewed a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground and said, "No, this horse can't run." I ······ If I get caught, I'm ······ I'm soft-boned and will definitely say it. ”

The man in front of him turned his head and said, "In that case, then we have only one way." The man behind was originally very depressed, but when he said this, he said happily: "What else can be done, say it quickly." The man in front sighed and said, "For the sake of so many brothers in the capital, I have to sacrifice you!" turned around and shot an arrow at him, and the man behind him was full of joy waiting for his way, where can he have such a defense, he was directly shot by an arrow, and immediately fell off his horse.

The pursuers behind were shocked when they saw such a scene, and the face of the person in front became more and more grim, and he continued to beat his horse and run forward.

In Shanyang County, not far from Luoyang, the birds are all here, but it is full of vitality. At this moment, a chanting sounded:

"King Wen is above, and Yu Zhao is in the sky. Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed. There are weeks that are not visible, and the emperor's life is from time to time. King Wen descended, around the emperor.

King Wen is very angry. Chen Xizai Zhou, grandson of King Hou Wen. The grandson of King Wen, the branch of the century, the people of Zhou, do not show the world.

The world is not visible, and it is still winged. Thinking of Emperor Toast, born in this kingdom. Wang Guokesheng, Wei Zhou Zhizhen, Ji Ji Duoshi, Wen Wang Yining.

King Mu Muwen, Yu, Ji Xi Jing Zhi! Fake the Mandate of Heaven, there is a grandson of Shang. The grandson of Shang is not worth 100 million. God has commanded, waiting for the week.

Hou is subordinated to Zhou, and the destiny is normal. Yin Shi is sensitive to skin and naked in Beijing. As a naked general, he often takes recklessness. The king's minister, no thought of Erzu!

Wu Nian Erzu, Yu Xiu Jide. Yongyan is worthy of life, and he seeks more blessings. Yin Zhi has not lost his teacher, and he is worthy of God. In view of Yin, it is not easy to die!

Life is not easy, and there is no restraint. Xuan Zhaoyi asked, there is Yu Yin Zitian. Carried by heaven, silent and odorless. King Wen of ceremonial punishment, all nations are the Fu!"

The Yellow River flows slowly in the county seat of Shanyang County, and a man in yellow in his thirties sits on the bank, staring at the flowing river, his expression extremely calm. Behind him, there were several young men in yellow standing, all with solemn faces. This "King Wen" was recited by one of the young men.

The man in yellow who led the way sighed and said, "No matter how much you sing, King Wen will never come back." Do you really think that the Dog Emperor can be the same as King Wen?" one of them "bah" said, "Is it up to him? Brother, stop singing this "King Wen", it's useless, it's better to do it yourself by relying on your head. ”

At this time, a man in his forties, dressed as a rich man, walked towards the man in yellow with dozens of people. The leading man in yellow glanced at them and said slowly, "Brother Wu Ling, what's new today?" The man in his forties, Wu Ling, is a local small rich man and a follower of Taiping Taoism, and the leading man in yellow is called Ma Huangtian, a senior elder of Taiping Taoism, who has been living in Wu Ling's Mansion for two months.

Wu Ling smiled: "What else can I do? I wait for that Tang Zhou every day, but there is still no news of him." Hey, Brother Huang Tian, what kind of sacredness is this Tang Zhou? Is it worth us to send someone to the capital every day to inquire about his news?" Ma Huangtian shook his head and said: "This person is sent by the sect master, and there is an important task that will be awarded to us, and now that the date has come, if he does not come, there may be changes, and we have to guard against it." ”

Wu Ling patted Ma Huangtian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wait and wait, but you won't stay here all day, go, go back to my house for a drink." Ma Huangtian nodded, and beckoned the other yellow-clothed young men behind him to follow Wu Ling away. They didn't notice that the birds quietly left at this time, far away from Shanyang County.

Back in Wu Ling's Mansion, he met Ma Huangtian's henchmen Chen Jiu and Zhao Hun, both of whom looked panicked, Ma Huangtian said: "What kind of expression do you have, what happened?" Chen Jiu hurriedly said: "Today, our brothers went to Luoyang to inquire about the news, but I heard that Feng Xu and Xu Feng were arrested, for unknown reasons, I am afraid that their affairs have been leaked." Moreover, the brothers who heard the news were also pursued by officers and soldiers, and they were all killed in Luoyang, and only one of them came back alive. Ma Huangtian was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be this Tang Zhou ······" Wu Ling asked, "Who are these Feng Xu and Xu Feng, and what do they have to do with Tang Zhou?" Zhao Hun replied, "These two are both eunuchs in power in the current dynasty. Wu Ling was even more strange: "What does the eunuch's arrest have to do with Tang Zhou? Could it be that this Tang Zhou is also a eunuch?" Ma Huangtian waved his hand: "No, no, no, these two are both disciples of my Taiping Taoism." If we are arrested for no reason, there must be a situation, and we should go home as soon as possible. ”

Back at Wu Ling Mansion, Chen Jiu said to Ma Huang Tian: "I'm afraid that the matter has been exposed, we must bear the brunt of it, or it is better to plan early." Ma Huangtian nodded yes, and immediately said to the two people behind him: "You two quickly change your clothes and immediately go to Jizhou to report this matter to the sect leader." The two men immediately changed their yellow clothes and left the back door. Ma Huangtian said loudly to the people present: "Without further ado, everyone will immediately disperse to all parts of the county, and I will reconvene everyone before March, and now act quickly." Dozens of young men in yellow agreed one after another and packed up. Wu Lingqi said: "What's going on? Why do you have to spread all over the place?" Ma Huangtian reflexively said: "Now the situation is urgent, it's too late to talk to you in detail." Remember, if any officers and soldiers come to check your house, don't leak any of our information, and don't let them know that you and I have dealings. Wu Ling trembled and said, "We are guilty······ What kind of law has been committed, and the officers and soldiers are going to come to investigate us?" Ma Huangtian patted him and said, "Without further ado, we will withdraw first." I will send someone to your house by March. ”

Wu Ling didn't have much to say, so he followed them and prepared to send them away. Unexpectedly, as soon as a few people entered the gate, the gate was slammed open, and hundreds of officers and soldiers in armor rushed in. The leading three, one of them took the lead, with a face full of flesh and scorched skin, and he Wei, the cousin of the general He Jin. Behind He Wei stood two people, wearing blue robes and gray robes respectively, and they were the emperor's two major guards, Zhao Yang and Li Jing.

He Wei shouted loudly: "The anti-thief Ma Yuanyi quickly came out and died." Wu Ling was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That, official, there is no Ma Yuanyi here." We're all good citizens, and you must be mistaken. He Wei sneered: "There is no Ma Yuanyi, don't fart here." Come on, come on, Tang Zhou, you come and recognize people. ”

This Ma Huangtian is Ma Yuanyi in He Wei's mouth, the next general of Taiping Dao, who was ordered by Zhang Jiao, a Taiping Daoist, to come to Luoyang to prepare for the work. It was expected to raise troops to attack Luoyang in March, and this Tang Zhou was sent by Zhang Jiao to contact the eunuchs of the imperial court and Ma Yuanyi, but who knew that he was a traitor, not only did not come to contact Ma Yuanyi, but also denounced him and the internal response of the imperial court - Feng Xu and Xu Feng. Zhao Yang heard Tang Zhou's whistleblowing, knew that Ma Yuanyi had many eyes and ears in the imperial court, and was worried that he would run away, so it would not be easy to arrest him again, so he immediately asked the general He Jin, and He Jin ordered He Wei to bring Zhao Yang and Li Jing to lead a large number of soldiers to quickly come to encircle and suppress Ma Yuanyi, and at the same time personally led the men and horses to arrest Feng Xu and Xu Feng first.

Ma Yuanyi knew that he was not afraid of his mediocre martial arts, but Zhao Yang and Li Jing were both masters of the inner realm, and they were in the position of school captain in the court. Although the official position is not high, Ma Yuanyi has heard that their martial arts are all taught by masters outside the world, and they are never under Zhang Jiao, and they are invincible. Thinking about how to capture this alive, why didn't he force Zhao and Li to retreat.

Seeing that a person rushed out from behind He Wei and pointed at Ma Yuanyi and shouted: "This is Ma Yuanyi, quickly capture him alive!" Ma Yuanyi couldn't help but be furious when he saw that this person was thin and small, with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek face, it was the traitor Tang Zhou. Chen Jiu in front of him was even more furious, pulled out his waist knife and rushed towards Tang Zhou, scolding: "You traitor!" Tang Zhou was so frightened that he hid behind Zhao Yang and shouted: "Captain Zhao save me!" Zhao Yang despised Tang Zhou's personality very much in his heart, but because he still had to use it, he stopped Chen Jiu alone. Chen Jiu saw that Zhao Yang was majestic, standing in front of him like a high mountain, and he was so timid that he couldn't raise his sword. Zhao Yang flew up and kicked Chen Jiu, Chen Jiu screamed and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

Ma Yuanyi was shocked in his heart, knowing that he could not match. He Wei laughed and said: "Anti-thief Ma Yuanyi, don't you just catch it?" Come on, come on, eat me with a knife!" How could Ma Yuanyi let go of this good opportunity? He was not shocked, and wanted to shake off Ma Yuanyi hard, but he couldn't do it. Ma Yuanyi didn't make any more moves, but he felt that a figure flashed in front of him, and Li Jing had already attacked, and he didn't draw his sword, but used his eagle claw hand to grab Ma Yuanyi's eyes. Ma Yuanyi had no choice but to let go of He Wei to dodge, Li Jing took advantage of the situation to advance, and pulled out the long knife behind him with his left hand and slashed at Ma Yuanyi.

He Weizao, who escaped the catastrophe, slashed Wu Ling to the ground, and his soldiers had already fought with the Taiping Taoists in Wu Ling's mansion. Chen Jiu and Zhao Hun besieged Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang sneered slightly, pulled out the steel knife behind his back and swept towards the two, Chen Jiu only felt a strong attack, the waist knife couldn't hold it and flew out, Zhao Hun tried his best to hold the waist knife, Zhao Yang took a step forward, raised his right leg high, and kicked Zhao Hun upside down.

Ma Yuanyi, who was on the other side, was forced to retreat by Li Jing, so he had to pull out the long whip on his waist and throw it towards Li Jing's legs. Seeing this, He Wei shouted, "Captain Li, I'm here to help you!" and raised his knife forward. Li Jing dodged the long whip, and swept towards Ma Yuanyi with his eagle claw hand with his left hand. Ma Yuanyi hurriedly dodged sideways, but Li Jing turned his claws into fists and slammed into Ma Yuanyi's chest. Ma Yuanyi only felt a shock all over his body, and fell on the wooden chair behind him, crushing the wooden chair to pieces. He Wei arrived, raised his knife and slashed straight at Ma Yuanyi, Ma Yuanyi endured the pain and used his strength to throw out the long whip, He Wei did not dodge, and was whipped in the cheek, leaving a deep blood mark. He Wei screamed in pain, raised the steel knife in his hand and cut it again.

Ma Yuanyi's long whip was gone, and Li Jing's punch in his body was powerless to resist, and he knew that he was not fortunate and had to close his eyes and wait for death. Wu Ling, who got up on the side, happened to see this scene, and he didn't think much about rushing towards He Wei, and pushed He Wei on his waist, and He Wei stumbled and fell to the ground.

Ma Yuanyi escaped death and fled to Wu Ling's house with the help of Chen Jiu and Zhao Hun. Li Jing helped He Wei up, and when he saw Ma Yuanyi fleeing into the room, he couldn't help sneering a few times, glanced at Zhao Yang, and rushed into the room with light skills.

Outside the mansion, the Taiping Taoists were almost killed and injured, and he grabbed Wu Ling and scolded: "Okay, you thief, you dare to push your grandfather and me, go to death!" Wu Ling screamed, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and muttered in his mouth: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky is ······ Huang Tian ······" Before he finished speaking, he was already angry.

He Wei was stunned: "What a yellow sky." He threw down Wu Ling's body and beckoned the soldiers to chase him into the room.

Zhao Yang and Li Jing chased into the room, and when they saw that there were many rooms, Zhao Yang immediately guarded the door, and Li Jing searched one by one. Ma Yuanyi and the three of them hid in the warehouse, Ma Yuanyi was weak, knowing that it was difficult to escape, and said to Chen Jiu and Zhao Hun: "You two hurry up and escape, don't lose your life for me." Zhao Hun said awe-inspiringly: "General, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death, in order to overthrow this backward dynasty to save the world, we will never give in!" Ma Yuanyi said urgently: "This uprising is the most important thing for our internal response, if our central army is annihilated, then the uprising will be very difficult, and only the combination of internal and external should have a greater chance of victory." Leave quickly, and contact the general again to make a plan. After speaking, he took off a gold bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Chen Jiu, saying, "This is my token, give it to my boss, Nanyang General Zhang Mancheng, and say goodbye to him for me." ”

As soon as Chen Jiu took the gold bracelet, Li Jing pushed the door and entered, saying, "Don't hide, I saw you." Zhao Hun couldn't help but be shocked, and jumped out of the haystack where he was hiding, Ma Yuanyi just wanted to hold him, but it was too late. Zhao Hun danced his knife and shouted: "What are you majestic? The lackeys of the imperial court, do you think we are afraid of you?" Li Jing didn't know that Ma Yuanyi and the others were hiding here, saying that seeing them was just a temptation, but he didn't expect Zhao Hun to think about it directly, and this time he didn't say much, a knife slashed towards Zhao Hun, Zhao Hun hurriedly raised his knife to block, the two knives intersected, Zhao Yuanyi's body was shocked, and he fell backwards heavily, falling on the grass where Ma Yuanyi and Chen Jiu were hiding.

This time, Ma Yuanyi couldn't hide anymore, he jumped out of the haystack, pointed at Li Jing and scolded: "It's in vain that you have a good kung fu, but you are an eagle dog of the court." Li Jing sneered: "You people in the countryside are bent on starting a riot, thinking that it is enough to save the common people? Let me tell you, war is the root cause of calamity, and there is no just war, and it is ridiculous for you to use the name of a just war." And you guys who spied on the news in Luoyang, and brutally killed your companions in order to escape yourself, are you still embarrassed to talk nonsense about your bullshit morality outside?"

Ma Yuanyi was so dumbfounded by Li Jing that he forgot to dodge. Thanks to Chen Jiu's sword, Li Jingshi sank vigorously, cutting off the tip of Chen Jiu's knife with one sword, and then swept towards Chen Jiu with his eagle claw hand.

Ma Yuanyi grabbed Chen Jiu's sleeve and pulled him back to avoid Li Jing's grasp. Li Jing took advantage of the situation and grabbed towards the door in front of the two, and the two had to bow their heads to dodge, only to hear a click, and the wooden pillar behind the two was scratched with two deep marks.

The two of them were shocked into a cold sweat, Ma Yuanyi swung his fist, Chen Jiu raised his knife and attacked Li Jing, Li Jing leaned slightly, stretched out his right leg and kicked two kicks in a row, kicking the chests of the two of them successively. The two of them snorted and fell on the grass.

Seeing this, Zhao Hun knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he held his waist knife and slashed at Li Jing's head head-on, and he had made a plan in his heart, even if he died, he would pull Li Jing with him to protect Ma Yuanyi and Chen Jiu. Li Jing couldn't see his thoughts, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, his left leg was raised, and he kicked Zhao Hun's wrist suddenly, Zhao Hun couldn't hold it anymore, and the waist knife flew out of his hand.

Li Jing took advantage of the situation to turn the steel knife, swept it over with the knife and hit Zhao Hun in the chest, Zhao Hun could no longer stand, and fell backwards to the ground. At this time, dozens of soldiers rushed out of the door, brandishing knives and guns on Zhao Hun's neck, and a few people tied him up. Seeing this, Ma Yuanyi shouted to Chen Jiu, "Hurry up!" and leaned forward to stop Li Jing. At this time, Zhao Yang flashed out of the door to intercept him, Ma Yuanyi used his life's means to point his acupoint, how could he be hit by Li Jing's punch, his strength was not as good as before, and Zhao Yang dismantled four or five moves, and he was hit by the waist to the acupoint, unable to move.

At this time, why didn't he arrive, seeing this, he laughed and said: "The rest of the thieves, don't you catch them yet?" Chen Jiu looked around and said coldly: "The eldest husband will not be humiliated if he dies!" Seeing this, Zhao Hun smiled and said, "Okay, good." He also bit off his tongue and died of exhaustion. Ma Yuanyi also wanted to commit suicide, but he couldn't move because of the point, so he just looked at Chen Jiu with a sad face.

Chen Jiu looked up to the sky and said: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. After saying that, he stared and died. Ma Yuanyi was sad in his heart, and his body couldn't stop trembling. Zhao Yang and Li Jing listened to Chen Jiu's last words, and they all thought about it in their hearts. He Wei scolded: "What is the sky is dead, Huang Tian is not dead, quickly, let me take him down." ”

He Wei led the soldiers to ransack Wu Ling's mansion, and all the servants were hacked to death, Zhao Yang and Li Jing stepped forward to persuade each other, He Wei just ignored it, and the two of them didn't feel good in their hearts, so they both walked out of Wu Ling's mansion.

Li Jingdao: "Senior brother, why is this really not a thing, it is so greedy for money and cruel." He and Zhao Yang are brothers in the same school, and they both came to the court to hold positions after Yicheng.

Zhao Yang said: "Today's imperial court has become such an extravagant and decadent atmosphere, and this Taiping Dao rebellion may have something to do with the corruption of the imperial court." Li Jing sighed: "Even if my Han Jiangshan can survive the Taiping Dao Rebellion, I'm afraid it will be crumbling." I only hope that my Han can succeed a generation of Ming monarchs, remove these eunuchs and traitorous ministers, and appoint virtuous ministers. ”

The two talked for a long time, knowing that the country was not far from extinction, but because they had their own ideals, they would not give up serving the country, and after a wry smile, they returned to Wu Ling's mansion.

I saw several soldiers teasing a little girl of eight or nine years old, and an old servant was knocked to the ground, pleading incessantly. Li Jing really couldn't bear it anymore, and strode forward and said, "There is a bottom line for doing things, you let them go immediately." ”

These soldiers were all He Wei's cronies, and they didn't take Li Jing seriously at all, and they still teased the little girl. Li Jing was furious and slapped a person in the face, who immediately fell. Li Jing scolded: "You pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts, you must be beaten to be happy, right?" Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers involuntarily retreated, how dare they say more?

At this time, He Wei strode over and said loudly: "What, is Captain Li going to oppress people with his official position?" When these soldiers saw He Fu's arrival, their courage also strengthened, and they asked one after another: "What? You, Captain Li, are you just a captain, do you want to challenge the general?"

Li Jing trembled with anger, and then Zhao Yang stepped forward and said, "General He, you give me face and let them go." Then he pointed at the little girl and the old servant.

He Wei sneered and said, "What, do you have a big face with Captain Zhao?" Zhao Yang held back his anger and said, "You let them go, and all the credit will be given to you." He Wei smiled and said, "It's not easy? Let's go." With that, he waved his hand and walked away with the soldiers.

Li Jing helped the old servant and the little girl, and the old servant couldn't stop thanking him, but the little girl looked at Zhao Yang and Li Jing with a resentful face. The old servant saw that Zhao Yang and Li Jing were very strange about this, and hurriedly explained: "This is the young daughter of General Ma Yuanyi, called Ma Yibing. Zhao Yang was stunned when he heard this, and Li Jing said: "Ma Yuanyi is also a man, and he shouldn't be cut off." Then he handed out a large piece of silver, and said to the old servant, "Go quickly, don't be caught by the officers and soldiers again." The old servant took the money and went away thankfully.

Zhao Yang and Li Jing returned to Luoyang with He Wei escorting Ma Yuanyi, and learned that Feng Xu and Xu Feng, whom Ma Yuanyi had bribed, had been arrested. They didn't go to the palace with him, and went home.

Many days later, the imperial court interrogated Ma Yuanyi, Feng Xu, and Xu Feng. Ma Yuanyi never spit out a word, Feng Xu and Xu Feng wanted to confess but knew too little about the truth, but Tang Zhou recognized some "old people" of Taiping Dao in Luoyang, and the court arrested them all and interrogated them one by one. Although most of these people are hard-headed, there are also some people who can't withstand the torture and expose their accomplices, and now, there are thousands of Taiping Taoists killed in Luoyang.

Ma Yuanyi was arrested in the first month, and died in February, and Feng Xu, Xu Feng and others were also killed at the same time. Before his death, Ma Yuanyi chanted like Chen Jiu: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Zhao Yang and Li Jing were at the execution ground, and the two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy when they thought that this year was the year of Jiazi.

Jizhou Julu, the news of arresting Zhang Jiao is getting tighter and tighter, and countless Taiping Taoist congregations gather at Zhang Jiao's house. I saw Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang standing in the center of the stage, Zhang Jiao said with a heavy face: "Ma Yuanyi is dead, our plan to cooperate with the outside has been broken, and now the situation is getting more and more severe, we have to do it in advance." ”

At this time, the audience shouted: "General, we have agreed on the strategy of Jiazi Day, and it is better not to change in battle." Zhang Jiao looked at him, and saw that his face was white, dressed in a blue robe, and he felt that his face was very raw, so he asked: "This little brother, what is your name? Why haven't I seen you?" The man replied: "My name is Yang Zhao, a native of Changshan County, and I have just joined Taiping Dao. Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "I see." But Brother An, you must know that time is very tight now, and if you wait another month, I am afraid it will be even more difficult, and today is the right time, and it is time to start something. After speaking, he didn't wait for the others to speak, pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed it to the sky, and shouted: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Relying on his majestic voice and deep internal force, he actually transmitted the sound several miles away.

The thousands of sect members shouted slogans one after another, drew their swords, and followed Zhang Jiao's command to kill the government.

Yang Zhao did not follow, and when the crowd gradually dispersed, he left Zhang Jiao's house and left from a small road. After walking a few miles, suddenly a person behind him said, "Brother An, where are you in such a hurry?" Yang Zhao looked back, but it was Zhang Jiao's second brother Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao smiled and said: "You don't look like a peasant, I'm afraid you are neither called Yang Zhao, nor am you a member of my Taiping Dao, right?" Yang Zhao sneered and said: "Yes, my name is not Yang Zhao, my name is Zhao Yang, I am a captain of the imperial court, and your Ma Yuanyi was captured by me." ”

It turned out that Zhao Yang was worried that Zhang Jiao would get into trouble in advance, so he followed the officers and soldiers who went to Jizhou to arrest Zhang Jiao to Jizhou. After arriving, under the pseudonym of Yang Zhao, the sect members who pretended to be Taiping Dao finally infiltrated the Taiping Dao headquarters. On this day, seeing Zhang Jiao personally convening the meeting, he was worried that something big would happen, so he hurriedly came to participate. As expected, Zhang Jiao really started the incident in advance, but Zhao Yang didn't expect it to be so fast. He had no choice but to speak out at the conference to stop Zhang Jiao, but his identity was almost exposed. Zhang Jiao's martial arts were not under Zhao Yang and Li Jing, so Zhao Yang did not dare to move, and waited for the team to leave before he moved back to Luoyang to report the news. As a result, Zhang Jiao was still suspicious of him, and specially ordered Zhang Bao to secretly observe him. So Zhang Baocai followed Zhao Yang and waited until Zhao Yang arrived at a poor village before he appeared.

When Zhang Bao heard that Ma Yuanyi was caught by Zhao Yang, he couldn't help but be furious, and said: "It turns out that you killed so many of our sect members, so good, how do you want to die today, I will fulfill you." ”

Zhao Yang pulled out the steel knife he was carrying, and said with a slight smile: "If you want my life, you can come and get it." Zhang Bao didn't say much, pulled out the judge's pen on his waist and pointed at Zhao Yang, and pounced.

Zhang Baoshan hit the acupoints, but Zhao Yang mainly attacked fiercely, and the two of them dismantled more than ten moves with one rigidity and one softness, but it was still difficult to distinguish between them. Zhang Bao's heart moved, stretched out his left hand and pulled out an iron fan, Zhao Yang knew that he was going to send a hidden weapon, and his body was retracted to make defensive preparations. Zhang Bao didn't send a hidden weapon, and the iron fan in his hand was also sent towards Zhao Yang, spinning in the air, Zhao Yang blocked it with a move of "Spirit Snake Spit Letter", only to hear a loud sound, Zhang Bao's iron fan was bounced away, and Zhao Yang himself was also sore. Zhao Yang was taken aback, this iron fan was extremely thick. Seeing that the situation was favorable, Zhang Bao did not go to get the iron fan, but stepped forward alone, and the judge's pen pointed to Zhao Yang's waist. Zhao Yang didn't dodge, and the steel knife in his hand slashed at Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao hurriedly flashed, and the judge's pen slashed at Zhao Yang like a sword, and Zhao Yang's steel knife waved to hold the judge's pen, and the two fought hard. Zhao Yang's strength gradually gained the upper hand, but Zhang Bao waved his left hand, and Zhao Yang only felt that his left leg was numb, and he had been hit by a hidden weapon. It turned out that Zhang Bao secretly hid some hidden weapons in his hands when he was holding the iron fan, and when he was in close combat, he happened to sneak attack, and two iron nails coated with anesthetic were in Zhao Yang's left leg.

Zhao Yang's strength was greatly reduced, so he had to retreat to dodge, and Zhang Bao took advantage of the situation to force the judge to attack Zhao Yang's key point. Zhao Yang's legs didn't obey the call, and he was already in a big fall. I only heard Zhang Bao laugh and said: "Okay, you dog thief of the court, seeing you fall into the hands of your grandfather, it is better to die than to protect your life!" Zhao Yang turned his heart sideways and sold a flaw, how could Zhang Bao let go of this good opportunity when he saw it?

Zhao Yang didn't defend at all, the steel knife in his right hand swept towards Zhang Bao, and a move "Shocking Knife" used all his strength to kill Zhang Bao on the spot, Zhang Bao was taken aback, knowing that he couldn't fight hard, he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it, only to hear a click, and the judge's pen in Zhang Bao's hand was cut off.

Zhang Bao only felt that his right hand was sore, but Zhao Yang was even weaker, and he was already crumbling. Zhang Bao quickly stepped forward and struck with a palm, Zhao Yang saw that he couldn't dodge, and he also stretched out his right palm to attack Zhang Bao. Zhang Baoquan ignored it, and the two hit each other. Zhang Jiao's internal strength is strong, Zhang Bao is not weak, Zhao Yang can no longer stand after being palmed, and he falls to the ground and vomits blood. Zhang Bao was also injured a lot, and Zhao Yang's internal strength was stronger than he estimated, but he could still barely stand up.

Seeing that Zhao Yang was no longer able to stand up, Zhang Bao breathed a sigh of relief and scolded: "Dog, the ability is not small. After that, he pulled out his waist knife from behind him, walked towards Zhao Yang, and said with words in his mouth: "Brothers who died unjustly in Luoyang, I have avenged you today, and he will wait for us to attack Luoyang and kill the traitor Tang Zhou, so as to comfort your soul in the sky." ”

Zhao Yang's whole body was numb, and he knew that he was not lucky, so he had to close his eyes and wait for death. Suddenly, only hearing a sound in front of him, and hearing Zhang Bao's angry scolding, Zhao Yang opened his eyes and saw a person standing between himself and Zhang Bao with a long sword in his hand, but it was Li Jing.

It turned out that Li Jing was not at ease after Zhao Yang left, and within a few days, he asked Emperor Han Ling for assistance. After getting the approval, he immediately went to Julu, learned that Zhao Yang had mixed into the Taiping Taoism, and hurriedly went to hear the news, but only saw countless Taiping Taoists with knives and guns, Li Jing had to hide in the dark, and then go to investigate after the people were gone, and when he found the traces of Zhao Yang and Zhang Bao, he immediately came, and happened to save Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang was surprised and delighted, knowing that his life was worry-free, he immediately crossed his knees and recovered. Zhang Bao saw Li Jing's skills just now, and knew that he was not Li Jing's opponent, and he had been injured by Zhao Yang, so he couldn't resist, so he had to say to Li Jing: "There are many of you today, we will have a period later." With that, he threw out a spike and turned to leave.

Li Jing swung his long sword and shot down the iron nails one after another with two brushes. Seeing that Zhang Bao had run away, he stopped chasing and turned around to look at Zhao Yang. Zhao Yang forced back the numbness, reluctantly stood up and asked Li Jing: "Senior brother, why did you come here?" Li Jing replied: "I can't rest assured in Luoyang, I came to help, I didn't expect God to bless, and I happened to save my senior brother." The relationship between the two of them is different from that of others, and they don't say much thanks, Zhao Yang said: "The situation is critical now, we must rush back to Luoyang as soon as possible to report this matter." Li Jingdao: "But senior brother, your body is not ······ well." Zhao Yang waved his hand and said, "It's just a small injury, it's still a matter of state affairs." Li Jing nodded, and the two hurried back to the Julu Mansion.

When the two arrived, they saw that the area of the government was already in flames, and tens of thousands of Taiping Taoist people had already attacked it, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. The two drew their swords and rushed in, only to see that there were Taiping Taoists everywhere, each with a yellow scarf tied to their heads, and when they saw someone who was not wearing a yellow scarf or wearing an official uniform, they raised their swords and killed them. After Li Jingwu cut down a few people with his sword, he couldn't help but feel a little timid when he saw more and more Taiping Taoist people rushing towards him. Zhao Yang said: "The other party is strong, so it's better for us to withdraw first." Li Jing nodded, and the two saw several Taiping Taoist members on horseback, Li Jing waved his knife to kill them, and the two of them each rode a horse and fled from the giant deer quickly.

Since then, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has officially erupted. Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", named Zhang Bao as "General Digong" and Zhang Liang as "General Rengong". In addition to Jizhou, where Zhang Jiao is located, there were also riots in Yangzhou and Yanzhou, and hundreds of thousands of Taiping Taoists wore yellow scarves and attacked local governments, and the Eastern Han Dynasty began to be in turmoil.

Since ancient times, heroes have been born in troubled times, but Zhao Yang and Li Jing can't care about this, the two just want to rush back to Luoyang all the way west. Unexpectedly, countless Yellow Turban troops were killed halfway to intercept the two of them, it turned out that Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao had already ordered the Yellow Turban Army to arrest the two to avenge Ma Yuanyi, Zhao Li and the two were constantly chased and killed by the Yellow Turban Army along the way, and the road to the west had been blocked, so they had to retreat south. The Yellow Turban Army did not spare all the way to chase after them, and the two had no choice but to run away without their lives, so you chased me for more than a month, and ran from Jizhou to Runan in Yuzhou.

It was April and the weather was warm. Zhao Yang and Li Jing had already run to the outskirts of Pingyu City, and the Yellow Turban Army behind them had been thrown away dozens of miles away. The two of them rarely took a breath, and they both dismounted and walked slowly.

Seeing dozens of farmers working in the fields in front of him, Zhao Yang thought that when the Yellow Turban Army chased them before, they were ruthless to the people on the road, and they could rob if they could, and they would kill if they didn't rob, which was worse than the government. Fearing that these farmers would also be poisoned by the Yellow Turbans, he stepped forward to tell them.

When they got closer, they found that not all of them were farmers, and that two of them were dressed very differently, not flashy but very neat. They were all about thirty years old, one was tall, dark-skinned, with bright eyes, dressed in blue, and had a majestic aura, while the other was relatively thin, but also very strong, with pale skin, dressed in yellow, and looking at the field with a smile on his face. Zhao Yang saw that this field had just finished winter, and he didn't know what to be happy about when he started planting. But he didn't want to be so much, so he stepped forward and saluted the two, and said, "The two of you are extraordinary, in Xia Zhaoyang, this is my junior brother Li Jing behind me, we have something important to tell you." ”

The two glanced at each other, and then they both saluted back, and then the man in yellow replied: "Don't dare to be, under Zheng Zhe, this is my friend Chen Zheng." I don't know what Brother Zhao and Brother Li have to tell each other?" Zhao Yang said: "Not far behind me, there are more than 100 Yellow Turban troops coming, they will rob if they see people, I think Brother Zheng and Brother Chen should avoid it." When Zheng Zhe and Chen Zheng heard that it was the Yellow Turban Army, their faces changed, and Chen Zheng said: "The Yellow Turban Army is coming here? No, it should be a few more days." Zhao Yang smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, this group of Yellow Turban Army is chasing after my brother and sister, and they have harmed countless people along the way, we can't bear to see Brother Zheng and Brother Chen suffer from this, so we are here to remind them." Li Jingkou said: "Actually, the larger Yellow Turban Army is not far away, and it will only take a few days to ride a horse at most, no matter what, you Runan County must be prepared." Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, we have also heard of the Yellow Turban Army burning, killing and looting, since they are not good, let's avoid it." With that, he greeted the dozens of peasants, went down to the field and explained to them, and the peasants all came out of the field with their tools.

Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe were about to thank Zhao Yang and Li Jing, but they saw that the north was dusty, but more than 100 Yellow Turban troops were chasing after them. Zhao Yang saw that it was too late to escape, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, Brother Zheng, let's take shelter in the grass." Chen Zheng nodded and beckoned the farmers to hide in the grass. Li Jing said: "Senior brother, you go first, I'll go and lure them away, and we will meet in Pingyu City later." After saying that, he stepped on the horse, grabbed the reins of Zhao Yang's horse, beat the horse and left, Zhao Yang and the others hurriedly hid in the grass.

The more than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers rushed to the front, but did not chase Li Jing, one of them was wearing armor, looked like a captain, rode out, pointed the horsewhip at the field, and said, "Rush up." More than 20 of the more than 100 cavalrymen immediately rushed out and rode on horseback to the growing crops.

Where could those farmers be patient, they all wanted to rush out and fight with them, Chen Zheng hurriedly whispered: "Don't act rashly. ”

The soldier captain swept his gaze to the grass where Zhao Yang and the others were hiding, and kept scanning with a provocative look, Zhao Yang whispered to Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe: "It seems that we have been discovered, so let's leave quietly." Before the two could reply, the captain of the soldiers shouted, "Trample all these crops for me!" Suddenly, the remaining eighty or ninety Yellow Turban soldiers all galloped down the fields and trampled on them.

Those peasants couldn't bear it anymore, so they picked up their hoes and rushed out of the grass, Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe couldn't scold them at all. Seeing this, Zhao Yang knew that he could no longer hide, so he pulled out his steel knife and rushed out of the grass, and Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe also followed closely with weapons.

When the captain of the soldiers saw them come out, he laughed and drew his long sword at his waist to go down to fight. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, but Li Jingjian did not lead them away, turned the horse's head and rushed back, seeing that only the soldier captain was still on the road, he drew his sword and rushed towards him.

The soldier captain was not incompetent, he raised his long sword to face the battle, Li Jing saw this, and used his life's stunt "Shocking Sword" to slash towards the soldier captain, threatening to kill him on the spot. The captain of the soldier gathered his internal strength, and he also slashed with a sword, and the two swords intersected, and the captain of the soldier smashed his long sword on him, and fell backwards, and he tried his best to grab the reins so that he did not fall off the horse, and the blood was already spraying wildly.

How could Li Jing let go of such an opportunity? With his left hand pressed on his horse, his body flew out and his right leg kicked on the waist of the soldier captain, who screamed miserably, fell off the field and rolled out a few laps, and immediately fainted.

There was also a scuffle under the field, and almost all of the peasants were wearing clothes, and they were holding hoes and fighting the Yellow Turban Army, which was quite a loss. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army was all from peasants, and few of them had armor, but they fought with the peasants mercilessly, and their swords were close to the point. Seeing this, Zhao Yang also made ruthless moves, almost all of which solved the opponent with one knife.

To Zhao Yang's surprise, Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe's martial arts are not low, although Chen Zheng only holds half a hoe, his strength is extremely strong, and he will hit the enemy hard, with the advantage of strength, the damage is not small. Zheng Zhe and Chen Zheng are just the opposite, winning with ingenuity, never fighting hard with the enemy, often hiding behind other peasants, seeing the opportunity, killing with one blow, and killing no less than Chen Zheng.

The number of peasants was about half that of the Yellow Turban Army, but under the leadership of Zhao Yang, Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe, they actually suppressed each other. Li Jing jumped down from the field, brushed two swords, and cut down two more people. The captain of the soldier was helped up by several soldiers, greeted him, and surrounded Li Jing with more than a dozen people. Li Jing was not afraid at all, waving his long sword, dancing in the wind, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to approach.

The captain of the soldiers endured the pain and shouted, "Hurry up, kill this thief, and there will be a reward from above." When those soldiers heard this, where did they take care of a lot? Each of them pounced on him with his sword and gun, and Li Jing was in danger, and he cut down three people in an instant with one move of "sweeping away a thousand troops". The other soldiers didn't care about life and death, and slaughtered Li Jing indiscriminately. Li Jing turned from offense to defense, guarding the portal without leaving a gap. The captain of the soldiers raised his long sword, went around behind Li Jing and jumped and slashed at Li Jing's back.

Li Jingzheng fought back and hacked the two to death, and suddenly heard Zhao Yang and Chen Zheng shouting: "Senior brother be careful!" "Brother Li be careful!" only to feel that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a step forward, but was still slashed by the captain of the soldier with a sword, only to feel a pain in his back, and he had been cut out with a deep blood mark.

Li Jingqiang endured his injuries, turned around and grabbed the captain of the soldier with a claw hand. The captain of the soldier did not dodge, and was caught in the face by a move, and was killed instantly. Seeing this, the other Yellow Turban soldiers fled one after another, scrambling to climb the road.

After Zhao Yang stabbed the two of them to death with a move of "breaking through a thousand armies", he flew over to help Li Jing and asked, "Senior brother, how is it?" Li Jing shook his head and said, "Don't get in the way, send them away first." With that, he jumped on the road with his sword and stabbed three people to death with one sword.

Zhao Yang turned around and saw that Chen Zheng and the others had the upper hand under the field, so he was afraid that his junior brother would suffer, so he also jumped onto the road and hacked a soldier on a horse to death with a move "blue wolf slash". The other soldiers were even more afraid to resist and fled on their horses. Li Jing didn't let go, chased after him, and hacked a few people to death before stopping.

When the Yellow Turban Army under the field saw such a scene, their hearts were even more frightened, and they fled one after another, where was Chen Zheng willing to let go? Gathering an internal force, a hoe was thrown into the middle of the head, and one person was killed immediately, Zheng Zhe also chased after him with a hoe. Zhao Yang and Li Jing jumped into the field with swords to stop them, and the remaining soldiers were about fifty or sixty people, who only dared to drop their weapons and kowtow and beg for mercy. Chen Zheng said angrily: "Do you know now that you are begging for mercy? When you burned and looted before, did you treat those people who begged for mercy kindly?" The soldiers were all frightened, and they just begged for mercy and couldn't say anything else.

Zhao Yang said coldly: "If the peasants do not treat the peasants well, how can there be any reason for success? I think you should go home and stay as soon as possible, and launching a war indiscriminately is just a waste of your life." Those soldiers were already frightened, and no one dared to refute them.

Chen Zheng knew that there were still a lot of them, and he had already lost more than 30 people, and if he continued to fight, he would only sacrifice more people, so he didn't want to see the peasants hurt again, so he waved his hand and said: "Let's go, go back and be your peasants, don't come to harm people again." ”

The soldiers hurriedly stood up to thank them, but a few of them said, "The government forced us, and we have no way to survive before we rebel." Chen Zhengdao: "Do you think that our peasants in Runan are doing well? We have not harvested grain for several years, but we have not survived?"

Zhao Yang and Li Jing both nodded when they heard this. Zhao Yang echoed: "Yes, even if you can't survive and want to rebel, but you are burning, killing and looting the same as other people, how much better is it than the government?"

Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe bowed their hands to Zhao Yang and Li Jingyi and thanked them: "Thank you Brother Zhao and Brother Li for their help, we can repel them like this." Chen Zheng said again: "Now that Brother Li has been plotted, I think Brother Zhao and Brother Li will go back to Pingyu County with us to treat their injuries first." ”

Zhao Yang saw Chen Zheng's kindness, and knew that Li Jing's injury was not light. He agreed: "Then thank you Brother Chen." Chen Zhengdao: "Brother Li's injury should not be delayed. He turned back to Zheng Zhe and said, "Brother Xian, you settle everyone first, and I will take Brother Zhao and Brother Li back to the city to treat their injuries." Zheng Zhe agreed, and Chen Zheng took Zhao Yang and Li Jing away first.

It turned out that Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe were the leaders of the two families of Chen and Zheng in Runan, and the two families were very famous in Runan County. The two families settled in Pingyu County, the county seat of Runan County, and there have been many generations of contacts, and Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe's fathers died not long ago, and neither of them had a brother, so Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe both became the heads of the family in their thirties. Due to the poor harvest in Runan County in recent years, the two families have also spent a lot of money to maintain the stability of the entire county. In recent days, the county guard calculated a hexagram that this year would be able to harvest, Chen Zheng and Zheng Zhe personally led the farmers to work in the fields, but they didn't want to meet Zhao Yang and Li Jing who were chased and killed, which happened before the field battle.

Zhao Yang and Li Jing arrived at Chen Zheng's mansion, and Chen Zheng invited the best famous doctor in the county to treat Li Jing's injuries. Zhao Yang thanked: "Thank you, Brother Chen, this time it's only the two of us who hurt you." Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Why did Brother Zhao say this? A person's life and death have their own days, and there is no need to blame themselves." Besides, the destruction of this field is only a small part, and even if there is no harvest this year, we are used to it, and it will not hurt to wait another year. Zhao Yang nodded, and asked again: "Just under the field, Brother Chen used the 'Huanhu Gong' to throw the hoe?" Chen Zhengqi said: "Hey, Brother Zhao can recognize it." Yes, when I was young, I had a master who gave me this 'Huanhu Gong'. But there has been little progress over the years, and it is still in its infancy. Zhao Yang nodded and said: "This 'Huanhu Gong' and 'Lion Man Gong', 'Mountain Xiao Gong', and 'Toad Gong' are called the 'Four Great Internal Skills' in the world, so the person who pointed out Brother Chen back then was surnamed Wu?"

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, Wu Ze, Senior Wu." Zhao Yang sighed: "This senior Wu Ze is one of the six heavenly kings today, Brother Chen is really lucky to have his guidance." Chen Zhengdao: "I haven't heard of these six heavenly kings, but I know that Senior Wu has made countless enemies in the rivers and lakes." Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Who of the six of them is not like this? First of all, Chu Xun, the 'Nanli Demon', it is said that he acts perversely and has a short temper, as long as he provokes him, he will definitely die." There are countless enemies in the rivers and lakes, and at the same time he is strong in martial arts, most of the masters not only hurt him but also die under his men, he often operates in the Jiangnan region, so he has won the title of 'Nanli Demon'; East China Sea Spirit Demon 'Qiao Ruixing, although he has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, but my master and other friends have a very high opinion of him, my master even calls him a hero, what kind of person he is, I don't judge him favorably. He got his name because he lived on the Spirit and Demon Island in the East China Sea; "Chen Jie, who was born in Xiliang, was a master of poison and often communicated with the Qiang people, and was called the 'Qiang Mountain Ghost Fu'; Li Jiulun, the 'Central Plains Spear Emperor', was the only one among the six people whose title was somewhat praised, but my master said that he was despicable and shameless, very treacherous, and should not be in the company of him; and finally 'Shu Di was nameless', mainly active in Yizhou." I still don't know what his name is, my master said that he has a surname of Shangguan, but I don't know what his name is. But my master said that his martial arts were among the best among the six, and he suppressed the other five. ”

Chen Zheng suddenly gained so much information that he thought about it for a long time before he came back to his senses. Seeing Zhao Yangzheng looking at himself with a smile, he hurriedly said, "Brother Zhao is smiling, I'm distracted again." Zhao Yang smiled: "It's okay, if it's me, I suddenly know so much, and it will be the same." Chen Zhengdao: "But according to Brother Zhao, these six heavenly kings are strong in martial arts, and there should be few opponents in the rivers and lakes, but I have seen them defeated and hunted down with my own eyes." ”
