Chapter Forty-Three: A Wave of Unsettled, Wave After Wave
Syllable!
Cao Zheng had just run to General Wang's horse, intending to ask for credit, showing that he had not delayed the matter, when a horsewhip was thrown in his face.
What kind of person is General Wang, can stand on top of the court of the Great Zhou, how can it be easy to cultivate, looking at the momentum he releases, it is definitely the existence of the peak level of the acquired martial artist.
"Ouch!"
Cao Zheng screamed, he is a civil official, how can he cultivate, he was whipped at this moment, not only was he beaten away, but even one of his teeth fell out, and the most important thing is that he is still blindfolded.
However, he didn't dare to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, but struggled to get up, no matter what, he had to make it clear whether he was or not.
"General Wang... Calm your anger, I'm my own person, I'm Cao Zheng of Hexi County!"
Holding back the pain, Cao Zheng said while covering half of his face.
"Hmph! Let me ask you, is this grain sent to Quanyang County?"
General Wang's face was gloomy, which made Cao Zheng have a bad premonition in his heart.
"General Qiqi, this grain is indeed sent to Quanyang County, but when it goes to the official road and is dug up, the carriage is really unbearable! Xiaguan has been filling in the pit for the past few days, and wants to send it over as quickly as possible, but it's a pity..."
He hurriedly brought out the rhetoric that he had prepared a long time ago.
In my heart, I thought that as long as this General Wang was a reasonable person, although he was whipped, this matter would pass.
However, things often go unexpectedly, and the horsewhip was once again whipped Cao Juncheng's body.
Now, he is really trapped, the reason is justified and sufficient, there is no flaw, why does this General Wang treat him like this.
"General Wang, you?"
"Hmph, since you know that the carriage can't pass, why don't you send someone to carry grain and salt over first! I think you are sincerely against Your Majesty!"
The anger of this general did not decrease at all, but became even worse than before.
He was actually right, if he really had the heart to send food and salt, how could he be stumped by this ravine, besides, only Leng Yan was the only one to be saved, and the life and death of the rest of the people depended on their affairs.
This time, Cao Zheng didn't dare to refute again, this General Wang's words were reasonable, and he really didn't think of this before.
Thinking of the consequences of this incident, a cold sweat the size of a bean suddenly broke out on his forehead.
"Hmph, when I finish going to Quanyang, I'll come back and clean you up!"
This General Wang didn't have too much entanglement with Cao Juncheng, after all, his main task was to bring Leng Yan back to the Great Zhou Imperial City intact.
He looked at the high mound of dirt in front of him, frowned slightly, and then turned over and dismounted, carried a bag of grain and half a bag of salt, and ran towards the dirt mountain.
As the saying goes, it's easy to fill a pit and it's hard to dig a pit, Cao Juncheng and others have filled a lot in the past few days, and this General Wang stood on the top of the mountain very easily.
Seeing General Wang's actions, Cao Juncheng and the guards had already guessed his thoughts, and he obviously wanted to bring some first-aid food first.
However, something surprising happened, after General Wang stood on the top of the earth mountain, he did not take another step, but stood quietly, not moving, as if time had stood still at this moment.
"Get out, dare to step into Quanyang, today is your death!"
Then, a cold voice sounded on the other side of the hillside, and after hearing it, General Wang jumped off the dirt mountain without hesitation and came to the front of everyone.
"What's the situation?"
Everyone was confused, especially after they saw General Wang's current appearance, they were even more puzzled.
I saw that General Wang's forehead was full of cold sweat at this moment, not to mention, there was a thin red line on his neck, and a blood bead coagulated at the end of the red line.
"General, general?"
Cao Zheng asked cautiously, seeing that something terrible was obviously going on like this.
However, the general Wang slowed down for a long time, and jumped up without saying a word, and ran along the official road in the direction of the imperial city, leaving behind everyone who looked at each other.
The most embarrassing thing was the few imperial doctors who came from the imperial city, they were going to use their magic skills to treat Leng Yan all the way, but now it's good, General Wang, who brought them, left first.
"What are we going to do?"
The officials, Cao Juncheng, and the imperial doctors didn't come up with a reason for a long time.
They also heard the cold voice just now, but now even if they borrowed ten of them, they didn't dare to go up to see what was going on there, what was behind the earth mountain.
"Forget it, no matter what, let's wait here, maybe General Wang will go and come back!"
Cao Juncheng finally made up his mind, after he was broken by General Wang's shop, he didn't dare to be clever anymore.
However, what they didn't know was that General Wang didn't care about their thoughts at all at this moment, but was full of thoughts
"Who is that white-clothed swordsman? Why is he so strong? Why did he appear in Quanyang County, why did he prevent others from entering Quanyang County?"
Thinking about it, General Wang subconsciously touched the red line on his neck.
After years of fighting on the battlefield, it was the first time he felt that he was so close to death.
"Drive, drive!" he kept whipping, and the only thing he had to do now was to rush back to the imperial city, report the situation here to Leng Jie, and let His Majesty make a decision.
On the other side, Leng Yan, who was still busy, didn't know that Ximen Fuxue had already scared away General Wang, who had rushed to deliver food.
In a few days, he had already built six waterwheels, and according to the news sent back by Du Ruhui and others, the river water has now been brought to the vicinity of Quanyang County, where the drought has been completely lifted after the farmland has been irrigated.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak"
When the seventh waterwheel began to turn, Leng Yan slapped his palms, the accessories prepared before had almost been used, and it was time to go back and get some.
However, just when he, Jiang Wei and the others got up to return to the county office, a carrier pigeon fluttered and landed beside him.
Leng Yan frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
This carrier pigeon was specially prepared by Leng Yan for Xue Rengui, who was guarding the west, could it be that there was a problem in the west?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled out the note inserted in the pigeon's leg.
When Leng Yan looked at it, his face suddenly showed anger, and he looked back in the direction of the county office,
"Dynasty, you go back and tell Master Du, let them be optimistic about Quanyang's government affairs, I will go to the West, and I may not be able to come back in a short time. ”
"Yes, Flame King!"
After that, Leng Yan turned to look at Jiang Wei and the others.
"Jiang Wei, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Er, etc., follow me!"
After saying that, he turned on his horse and galloped away to the west desperately.
Although Jiang Wei and the others didn't know why they went to the west, Leng Yan's words were holy decrees, and they didn't say a word, they turned over and got on their horses, chasing Leng Yan and leaving here.
In the end, they also took away a hundred Liangshan water soldiers, as well as twenty cavalry seedlings trained by Jiang Wei.
"Tianzhu's little thief, I didn't expect you to dare to be so bold!" Leng Yan muttered to himself on horseback.
Just now, the news from Xue Rengui actually said that the people and horses of the Western Regions had been found in the territory of Quanyang, and only after catching a live mouth did they know that they were from Tianzhu.
Quanyang County and the Western Regions are closely connected, but Quanyang is barren, and the Great Zhou Dynasty did not send heavy troops to handle the West Exit, but they didn't expect that the people and horses of Tianzhu in the Western Regions didn't know when they had already entered the territory of Quanyang.
If Leng Yan hadn't sent the Huotou Army led by Xue Rengui to guard the west, he might not have found out about this matter.
