More than 20 barbarian cavalry did not escape under Zhang Ming's arrows, and all of them left their lives in Anxi Mansion.

Zhao Xing led a large army to wipe out three cavalry squads, except for a few fish that slipped through the net, the barbarian cavalry that went south this time can be said to be annihilated.

Those few fish who slipped through the net back to the barbarians brought Zhang Ming's boxing skills back. In the future, it will bring great trouble to the Great Qianchao.

When he returned to Qing'an County, Zhang Ming brought more than 200 horses, and the rest of the things were all brought back to Fucheng by Zhao Xing, and the lord of the mansion would distribute them according to the people affected by the disaster.

Bach returned to the tribe and was depressed.

The patriarch comforted: "Bach, it's good that you can come back, as for the five million taels of silver, maybe we shouldn't get it at all." You'd better look at it. Now that the bone clam has made a move, Zhang Ming will definitely die in his hands. ”

The patriarch was very envious of those big tribes, not only with a large population and wealth, but also with a probability of strong and warrior appearing, which was not comparable to that of small tribes. A big tribe can give birth to a strong man like the bone clam, but a small tribe like them is already a great luck to have a warrior like Bach.

Bach nodded and said: "Patriarch, I know what you said, I am indeed not the opponent of the bone clam, and I can't compete with him." But...... I still let my people down. ”

The patriarch shook his head and said, "If we didn't get that reward, our tribe still has to live, but the clansmen are more difficult." As long as Bach is here, there is hope for our tribe. ”

...............

Two years passed before I knew it.

Two years is not a long time, nor is it short, but it can change the fate of many people.

Qing'an County, under Zhang Ming's governance, is changing every day. Zhang Ming spent one year to let the people of the county have a full meal, and the next year let the people have surplus money in their pockets. The business of the county yamen and Tiele also became bigger and bigger, and the workshop went through three expansions before barely meeting the production needs.

The biggest change is the Holy Church created by Zhang Ming.

The children of the Holy of Holies read and practiced martial arts, and many excellent children appeared. Although these children are still young, they will definitely become the pillars of the imperial court in the future.

It's a pity that thirty percent of these outstanding children will worship the Sword Sect, which makes Zhang Ming very reluctant.

With the help of the Sword Sect and the Wind and Rain Tower, the Holy Church also formed a caravan to buy the goods produced in the county to various places in Anxi Prefecture.

In other places, Zhang Ming has not been able to influence it, but after two years in Anxi Prefecture, every county has the existence of the Holy of Saints.

In another year, the imperial court will hold another imperial examination, and Zhang Ming believes that the students of the Holy Church will definitely be a blockbuster.

An eight- or nine-year-old boy ran out of the room opposite the yamen and rushed into the yamen at great speed. The fast catch at the gate of the county yamen was not strange, and the children were allowed to enter the yamen.

Although the child is young, his martial arts are not weak, and he has reached the level of a third-rate martial artist.

"Master, master. The child entered the room and shouted to Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming glanced at the child, and frowned slightly: "Frizzy, what does it look like? Li Ze, have you forgotten what the teacher taught you? Don't be impatient, be steady." ”

Zhang Ming is a congenital martial artist, and in two years, there seems to have been no trace of time on his body, and he is still eighteen or nineteen years old. In the past two years, Zhang Ming's martial arts have not improved by leaps and bounds, but they are also growing steadily, and his cultivation has already reached the middle stage of innate nature, and the Dao of Sincerity has also had some new insights.

Because of his comprehension of the way of sincerity, Zhang Ming's swordsmanship also broke through the realm of the unity of man and sword, and had a trace of "Tao" charm. If Zhang Ming had today's martial arts swordsmanship two years ago, he wouldn't have joined forces with Zhao Xing, he would have been able to kill the bone clam.

Li Ze listened to Zhang Ming's words and hurriedly stood up straight, looking extremely respectful.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" asked Zhang Ming.

Li Ze said: "Aunt Yue said that she will go back to the Sword Sect tomorrow, and she will have a banquet tonight, invite the master and Mr. Huang, and the rest of the head catchers, they must go." ”

Yue Linglong has also been in Qing'an for two years, and now the Holy Church is also on the right track, so there is no need for her, an innate powerhouse, to stare at it all the time. It was enough to leave only Fang Lingyu, an innate martial artist, in Qing'an County.

Yue Linglong looks very young, Li Ze saw her when he was a child, he called her aunt, and she still calls her like this until now.

"You went to Yue Linglong again?" Zhang Ming said, "In the future, if you don't run over there, did Yue Linglong invite you to the Sword Sect?"

Li Ze nodded and said, "Yes." Aunt Yue said that the Sword Sect is very interesting, if I want to go, I can go with her tomorrow. ”

Zhang Ming snorted coldly: "Uneasy and kind." Read and practice martial arts for me, what's so good about the Sword Sect? Okay, I know, I will definitely go at night, you go and inform Mr. Huang Yun that there is still a head catcher. ”

Li Ze nodded and said, "Yes, master." ”

...............

In the evening, the opposite side of the yamen was very lively, Yue Linglong held a banquet, who in Qing'an County dared not to give face?

Zhang Ming sat opposite Yue Linglong, eating the dishes silently and rarely speaking.

Yue Linglong ate a piece of crystal ribs and said to Zhang Ming: "Zhang Ming, isn't it good that we have cooperated for the past two years?

Zhang Ming glanced at her and said lightly, "What do you want to hear?"

Yue Linglong smiled slightly: "Zhang Ming, you are a person with good skills, both civil and military, and you are a genius, but you lack the vitality of a young man, like an old master, you are dull, and it is really boring." I really don't understand, why is Sun Xin such a beautiful little girl so desperate for you? It's been two years, and you don't give Sun Xin a word, if you don't like people, you will cut off her thoughts as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Ming glanced at Sun Xin, who was sitting not far away, she was now a half-step innate martial artist, and she had also comprehended the unity of human and sword in swordsmanship, and she was also a master in the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Ming said: "It is impossible for me and her. ”

Yue Linglong snorted coldly: "Be careful, are you still resentful of Sun Xin's decision to let you withdraw from the marriage?"

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "No, I just feel that I am not suitable for Sun Xin." More important things, I don't want to have anything to do with your Sword Sect. ”

Yue Linglong said: "Forget it, I can't control the affairs of you and Sun Xin." Let's be serious, the fields are coming, you know?"

Zhang Ming nodded.

Last month, Zhao Xing had already left Anxi Mansion with his family and returned to the capital. The imperial court issued an order to make Wu Zhuangyuan Tianye the new general of Zhenbei and guard Anxi Mansion.

"Tianye, what kind of person is he?" asked Zhang Ming.

Yue Linglong said: "Tian Ye is the seventh son of the great general Tian Rong, his martial arts talent is amazing, he became a congenital martial artist at the age of twenty-six, he is now forty-three years old, his martial arts are unfathomable, even if I fight him, I am not sure of victory." Tian Ye is a rare martial arts genius in the Tian family, and with the teachings of the great general Tian Rong, he may be able to become a god realm powerhouse in the future. Tian Ye is insidious and cunning, vicious, greedy for money and lustful, but he can control his desires. ”

The field is a strong man by nature.

Zhang Ming knew that he would be in trouble in the future.

Zhang Ming asked, "I heard that Sect Master Yue and the Great General have fought each other?"

Yue Linglong nodded and said, "Twelve years ago, my father competed with Tian Rong and won a move. The great general Tian Rong is a lay disciple of Leiyin Temple, and he is very domineering in Buddhist martial arts. Zhang Ming, don't worry too much, although Tian Ye is strong in martial arts, he is not very good, he has many enemies, and they are all mortal enemies. In addition, you are the guest elder of the Wind and Rain Building, and you may not lose if you compete with the field. ”

Zhang Ming reads the books of sages and is kind to others, and he has a lot of enemies, not to mention people like Tian Ye. It's just that Tian Ye's father is a general, and his own martial arts are unfathomable, so he has survived until now.

The field has strength and power, and it is very difficult to deal with.

.....................

After attending the banquet, Zhang Ming returned to the yamen and called Ma Liu.

"Ma Liu, this official needs detailed information about the field. ”

Zhang Ming said with a serious face: "The more detailed, the better." ”

Ma Liu nodded and said, "Yes, Elder." But it will take three days, and after three days, I will give you the details of the field. ”

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Okay, you go and get busy." ”

Three days later, Zhang Ming got the information of the field. After reading it, Zhang Ming knew that Tian Ye was really a person who did all kinds of evil, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was full of evil. Such a person, not only was not punished by the laws of the imperial court, but also became a general of Zhenbei and guarded Anxi Mansion, which is really unreasonable.

The information of Fengyulou may not be credible, but Yue Linglong also said that Tian Ye is a ruthless person, which enhances his credibility.

Tian Ye is the person of the third prince, and it is natural for him to come to Anxi Mansion and suppress himself.

That night.

Lei Zhan and Xu Liang secretly came to the county office.

Zhang Ming was shocked when he saw the two of them.

"Hall Master Lei, Shopkeeper Xu, why are the two of you here?" asked Zhang Ming.

The fat shopkeeper Xu Liang smiled slightly, and the small eyes on the fat face narrowed: "Elder Zhang, there is a task." ”

Zhang Ming has been the guest elder of Fengyulou for more than two years, and it is the first time he has received a task.

"What task?" asked Zhang Ming.

Xu Liang glanced at Lei Zhan, and Lei Zhan nodded.

Xu Liang's small eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "Kill the Zhenbei General Tianye!"

"What?" Zhang Ming exclaimed.

Zhang Ming's heart is strong, and he can do it without waves, but when he heard that he was going to kill Tian Ye, he was also stunned.

"Tian Ye is the son of the great general Tian Rong, and killing him will definitely cause an uproar. Besides, Tian Ye is a congenital powerhouse, and if he wants to kill him, I'm afraid it will not be easy. Zhang Ming quickly calmed down, looked at the two and said.
