Zhou Rouqiang said: "That's right! ”

Murong Feihu said: "In that case, Lord Zhou is waiting for the army to attack the city." ”

Zhou Rouqiang said fearlessly: "Even if you come, I, the Jiangchuan army and civilians, would rather be broken than destroyed." ”

Murong Feihu laughed twice, turned around and walked out of the county office.

On this day, Ding Cheng accompanied Zhou Rouqiang to inspect the new village of the refugees and watched the progress of farmland reclamation. The two walked to a mountain beam, and Zhou Rouqiang looked ahead and sighed deeply.

Ding Cheng asked, "What is Lord Zhou worried about?"

Zhou Rouqiang said: "Look at this land, there are mountains and water, grass and trees. The people living here should live and work in peace and contentment. But in these troubled times, people are not as good as dogs, and no one can escape the suffering brought about by war. ”

After a pause, Zhou Rouqiang said: "Don't talk about this." Let's talk about the two of us, I hit it off with you at first sight, and I saw that although you were in the rivers and lakes, you had a fiery heart. I want to marry Jin Lan with you, I don't know if you want to?"

Ding Cheng said happily: "Where did Lord Zhou come from? The younger brother has been following Lord Zhou recently, and seeing that what the Lord thinks about every day is how to share the worries of the country and how to solve problems for the people, he is really a good official who loves the people like a son." Not only that, but adults also have the heroic spirit of Jianghu people, which is really rare. It is really a blessing for the younger brother to be able to marry the adult, so how could I not want to? From now on, I will call the adult the eldest brother. ”

Zhou Rouqiang happily took Ding Cheng's hand and knelt down, facing the sky and said: "The yellow sky is above, the thick earth is below, I, Zhou Rouqiang, and Ding Cheng are brothers today, not seeking to live and die together, not to share weal and woe, but just to have a heart." ”

Ding Cheng thought to himself, the oath of this eldest brother is really different, and he also said: "Just to have a heart." ”

Zhou Rouqiang pulled Ding Cheng up and laughed.

Zhou Rouqiang and Ding Cheng walked down the hill and were about to turn back to the county office, when a person suddenly rushed out of the roadside grove and almost collided with Zhou Rouqiang.

Zhou Rouqiang took a closer look and recognized it as Li Bei, the deputy commander of the infantry battalion. I saw Li Bei's right hand covering his left shoulder, and the blood on his shoulder was pouring down.

Zhou Rouqiang hurriedly asked, "Commander Li, what's wrong?"

Li Bei gasped and said: "Commander Han wanted to defect to Li Dingguo with an infantry battalion, but after I found out, he came forward to stop me, and he actually wanted to kill me. Luckily, I saw the opportunity quickly and ran out. ”

Zhou Rouqiang said in surprise: "This is okay, Commander Li will go to the front farmhouse to heal for the time being, and Ding Cheng and I will try to stop Han Yong." ”

Li Bei tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it on the wound and said, "I'm fine, but I'm afraid it's not okay for just a few of us, do you want Lord Zhou to go back and mobilize the official mission first, and then try to go and capture Han Yong?"

Zhou Rouqiang said: "At this time, go back and gather people, I'm afraid it's too late." We had no choice but to take a risk. Immediately a few men ran towards the infantry battalion.

When a few people came to Han Yong's mansion, they saw that the gate was open and the door was empty. Ding Cheng rushed in first, searched around the courtyard, and didn't see anyone.

Li Bei said: "He must have gone to the camp." ”

The three of them ran towards the camp again. When they arrived at the camp, they saw two hundred soldiers standing neatly on the colonel's field. Han Yong stood on the command platform in armor, and there was another person beside him, dressed in civilian clothes, with a large knife pinned to his waist.

Li was pointed to the man beside Han Yong: "This person is the envoy from Li Dingguo's army who came to discuss the surrender of Cheng." ”

I only heard Han Yong stand on the stage and say: "Soldiers, let me introduce to you, this person next to me is General Hu, a staff general under the famous rebel general Li Dingguo. General Hu's visit brought good news to the brothers. General Li Dingguo decided to garrison troops in Jiangchuan and was willing to accept our infantry battalion as the vanguard battalion of the rebel army. Everyone knows that the capital has been occupied by Li Zicheng, and the Ming Emperor has also died. And Li Zicheng was stubborn and self-serving, and recently lost one after another in battles with the Qing army. Looking at all the heroes in the world, only General Zhang Xianzhong is in full swing, and he is in the sky. If we follow General Li Dingguo, we are equivalent to following General Zhang Xianzhong. In the future, Zhang Xianzhong will be the emperor, and we will all be the heroes of the founding of the country, and we will enjoy endless glory and wealth at that time. ”

Zhou Rouqiang looked at the situation on the field and said, "It's not okay for us to rush in like this, Commander Li, you come forward first to stabilize the army, and then I and Ding Cheng will go out to restrain Han Yong and the messenger and seize the military power." ”

Li Bei nodded, rushed to the gate of the school field at once, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't listen to Han Yong's nonsense, although the first emperor has died, King Fu has ascended the throne in Nanjing, and has been supported by all the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty. I believe that in the near future, I will definitely calm down the civil strife and drive out the enemy. I hope that the brothers will not listen to Han Yong's words and go astray. Besides, Jiangchuan is our hometown, where our brothers and sisters, parents and relatives are all here. How can we give away our homeland? At that time, our loved ones will become lambs to the slaughter. May the brethren think again. ”

Li Bei's sudden appearance startled Han Yong. When he saw that Li Bei was the only one, he was a little relieved and ordered: "Come on, tell me that this thief who disturbs the morale of the army will be hacked to death with a knife." ”

The soldiers on the school ground, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that the soldiers were standing still, Han Yong suddenly drew his waist knife, pointed at the two soldiers in the front row and said, "You two go, Li Bei will kill me." ”

Li was very good at treating the soldiers on weekdays, how could the two soldiers be enemies with Li Bei. Han was in a hurry and slashed a soldier to the ground. A few soldiers were frightened, so they slowly moved towards Li Bei.

Ding Cheng and Zhou Rouqiang saw that if they didn't make a move, things would be worse, so they rushed out all of a sudden.

Han Yong was startled when he saw the two rushing into the school grounds, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hold the two. The soldiers who walked towards Li Bei immediately rushed towards Zhou Rouqiang and Ding Cheng.

Zhou Rouqiang was not in a hurry, grabbed the guns of the two soldiers and flicked them hard, and threw the two soldiers out. Ding Cheng thought that it would be useless to entangle with these soldiers, so it was better to capture the king first and catch Han Yong. Leap forward and pounce on the high platform.

Several soldiers saw Ding Cheng leaping into the air, and hurriedly poked with spears. Ding Cheng's toes were on the tip of a spear, and a flying body had already come to the high platform.

Han Yong saw Ding Cheng rushing and hurriedly took a knife to cut it. Ding Cheng turned sideways, grabbed Han Yong's wrist and twisted it hard, and broke Han Yong's wrist.

The general Hu next to him also drew his knife and slashed at Ding Cheng, and at this time, the steel knife in Han Yong's hand fell down.
