Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xing flicked his wrist, and the long bamboo pole was like a whip, first bent outwards, and then whipped towards Xin Ran like lightning.
"Bang!" Zhu Penny, infused with Zhou Xing's spiritual power, first drew Xin Ran's sword, and an unstoppable force instantly drew the sword away from his hand. Then he slapped Xin Ran on the waist, causing him to let out a shocking scream.
With just this one blow, even with Xin Ran’s years of cultivation as a fifth-grade monk, several bones in his ribs were broken by this small bamboo pole, and the person was as if broken. The string kite usually flies out.
Zhou Xing flicked his toes to the ground, and he flew into the air, avoiding the bows and arrows shot from the left and right. The pennant whizzed out again and again, but no one could stop him. In an instant, he was gone. Four more monks were brought down. The rest of the people saw how brave Zhou Xing was. After one person took the lead and turned away, everyone also shouted and fled away.
Zhou Xing landed on the ground and walked straight towards Xin Ran, who was still writhing on the ground in pain without looking at the others.
"My surname is Zhou, you and I usually have no grudges. Do you really want to kill me today to make a grudge against my Xin family?" Xin Ran saw Zhou Xing walking step by step with a cold face. She shouted to him with a look of fear on her face. "There are more than a hundred members of my Xin family, and there have been monks throughout the ages. Why do you have to make enemies with our family for the sake of those common people?"
Zhou Xing did not answer, but looked up at the ground coldly. Xin Ran looked up at him. He threw away the pennant in his hand, pulled out the sword from his waist, and was about to swing his arm to chop it down. Suddenly, a woman's exclamation came: "Brother Gao, stop!"
He turned his head. As soon as he took a look, he saw Xin Wan running over from the building with tears streaming down her face.
"Brother Gao," Xin Wan rushed over, knelt at Zhou Xing's feet and begged, "my father is over fifty years old, and I hope that Brother Gao can be generous and spare his life. Wan'er is willing to do it for me." Brother Gao, you have to work hard to repay Brother Gao."
"Wan'er, this is none of your business." Zhou Xing frowned and said, "Your father conspired to kill Qiao Feng and others. There are more than a hundred people, how can I be worthy of Qiao Feng and the others if I don't kill him?"
"Ah." Xin Wan was shocked when she heard this, turned to look at her father, and asked sadly: " Father, is what Brother Gao said true? Were Brother Qiao and the others really killed by you?" Xin Ran looked at her daughter's expression and snorted, turning her head without saying a word.
Seeing her father's expression, Xin Wan didn't know that what Zhou Xing said was true. She stood up silently, her eyes filled with dullness.
Suddenly, she burst into tears, turned around and ran towards the river.
Zhou Xing stared blankly at Xin Wan running away with a long sword in his hand, and was about to swing the sword again when he saw Xin Wan run to the riverside, take a leap, and jump into the river.
"Wan'er!" Xin Ran saw her daughter jumping into the river and couldn't help but shouted miserably: "No!"
"Fuck, Xin Wan, you idiot!" Zhou Xing ran towards the river while swinging the sword in his hand across Xin Ran's neck.
"What did Xu Shijun say over there in Liangzhou?" In the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, Luo Shang's original black hair had a hint of silver hair. The sudden fall of Deyang made him realize that the situation might get out of control again, and the latest news was that Kuai Ma from Wenshan County reported that a refugee army suddenly crossed Hupao Ridge and entered Wenshan County. Although they failed to make a surprise attack, Wenshan County was captured, but Guangyang County had already been occupied by refugees. Canling, Pingkang, Shengqian, Xing'an and other counties came to report that the Qiang barbarians in each county were ready to move, and there was a strong tendency to respond to the refugees.
But facing such a severe situation, the first thing the envoys sent from Liangzhou wanted to do was to capture Zhou Xing, Marquis of Bodao Ting, and bring him to Nanzheng. Jun received a report from Xin Ran, the resigned prefect of Guanghan, who said that the elite troops of the Bo Dao people were jealous of their rivalry with Xi Wei, so they let the exile army enter Deyang City at night and killed Xi Wei and his party.
"Xu Shijun said that although the Bo Daoting Marquis was not in Deyang City at the time, his subordinates killed Xi Shichen, who was in charge of the refugee affairs in Liang and Yi Prefectures, and therefore lost Deyang. Zhou Xing cannot escape the blame for such a serious crime. Xu Shijun wants you to escort Zhou Xing to Nanzheng, and then he will escort Zhou Xing to Shangluo for the court to convict him."
"Hmph," Luo Shang snorted coldly, "As far as I know, Xin Ran secretly exiled people and killed Xi Wei and some of Jiang Yang's sergeants. If we want to capture him, we must first capture him and flee. "Xin Ran from the land." Just before the Liangzhou envoy arrived at the station, he received a report from Mao Hong, the governor of Jiangyang, saying that Xin Ran had conspired to kill Xi Wei and his party, and secretly released the refugees in prison. All the elite soldiers of the Bodao people stationed in the city were burned to death, and now there is only one survivor left in the camp of the elite soldiers of the Bodao people in Jiangyang.
In Luo Shang's view, the top priority is for both parties to discuss how to stabilize the defense line again, rather than first finding out the culprit of the loss of Deyang. The best troops of the people of Bodao are in Jiangyang, so Zhou Xing and others killed Xi Wei and his party. Now is not the time to pursue this matter. What's more, Luo Shang simply didn't believe that Zhou Xing would do such a thing.
When the refugees were in great power and everyone in Jiangdong was in danger, it was this Bodao Tinghou who volunteered to lead troops to repel the refugees who attacked Deyang. Luo Shang believed in his own judgment.
As for the civilian sergeants under Zhou Xing, if they had no one to support them, how could they kill the envoys sent by the imperial court?
"I will investigate this matter carefully." Luo Shang said again: "I have sent people to arrest Zhou Xing, and I also hope that Xu Shijun can arrest Xin Ran. If you listen to someone else, It will be clear who is right and who is wrong when the two of them confront each other.
The envoy from Liangzhou had just left, and Jordan came to the Governor's Mansion from outside with a solemn look on his face. .
"Master Shijun, I just received news that Zhou Xing caught up with him in Baidi City.Xin Ran, beheaded Xin Ran on the spot. "
"Oh," Luo Shang frowned even more when he heard Jordan's words, "What about Zhou Xingren? ”
“Zhou Xing immediately jumped into the river to save Xin Ran’s daughter Xin Wan, who also jumped into the river. The two are now missing. Sir, what should we do now? "
"We have two top priorities. One is to stabilize the front line of Jiangyang and Qianwei, and the other is to send people to rescue Wenshan. Luo Shang said: "Over Wenshan, I have decided to send Zhang Meng to lead five thousand soldiers and horses. As for Jiangyang, Deng'er, I want you to come and replace Zhou Xing's position as Jiangyang Captain." "
"Yes, my son-in-law takes the order. "Jordan was perked up when he heard this order and immediately replied loudly.
"Don't be greedy for credit and rush forward after passing. Luo Shang slowly spoke again: "The refugees have recently captured Deyang. With the troops of his partial army, they are temporarily unable to move forward." The first thing you have to do after you go there is to appease the tribes under Zhou Xing, suppress one or two people who Zhou Xing originally valued, promote a few people who were not valued by Zhou Xing, and truly include these tribes. under your account. "
"My son-in-law understands. Jordan nodded, and after a moment he hesitated and said, "What should I do after Zhou Xing comes back?" "
"Zhou Xing's subordinates caused such big trouble because he was the hero who killed the national traitor Shen Xiu, because he was the son-in-law of the Jinyang Wang family, and because he didn't know about it, but There is still no escape from the guilt. "
Seeing Jordan's hesitation, he waved his hand and continued: "I don't understand that this incident is probably what Mao Hong said, but Deng'er, you want to Slowly learn to look at problems from a higher perspective. If Zhou Xing is destined to come back, you will capture him and send him to the station as soon as possible. You have to know that the King of Hejian will definitely not accept Xi Wei's death, and even the King of Qi will not accept it. Otherwise, where is the majesty of the court? Where is the face of the imperial court? ”
“The current refugee situation in Yizhou and Liangzhou is very delicate. If the Yabo army sent by King Hejian suddenly loses control, the consequences will be disastrous. Deng'er, tell me, if you trade Zhou Xing alone for the Hejian King's army, how should you choose? "
Seeing Jordan lowered his head and speechless, Luo Shang smiled and patted his shoulder and continued: "Even if Zhou Xing is sent to Chang'an, Zhou Xing will not What's the surprise? The King of Hejian just wanted to save face. He would not be stupid enough to kill Zhou Xing, the man who killed Shen Xiu, not to mention that this man was the son-in-law of the Jinyang Wang family. Zhou Xing is still too young, he should have spared Xin Ran’s life no matter what..."
"Zhou Xing is dead? "Zhang Bu, who had just taken over the promoted county town surrounded by mountains, had mixed feelings in his heart when he heard the news. His originally calm heart was once again filled with a beautiful figure, "I don't know how she is doing now. ? "
"Master Immortal," a black-faced man with pigtails on his head and a very rough face came to Zhang Bu and asked respectfully: "What should we do next? "
"Continue going south. "Zhang Bu adjusted his mood with great skill.He waved his hand and said passionately: "Laojun has entrusted me with a dream, saying that he has given Jianwei County to you Qiang people. The land there is fertile and the real estate is rich, and the climate there is mild and rainy. As long as you are Laojun's loyal believers, Laojun will I will give you Jianwei County forever."
"We, the Qiang people, are willing to believe in Laojun forever," the Qiang leader immediately knelt down on one leg, raised his head and raised his hands, and said piously to the sky. : "Thank you, Mr. Laojun, for giving us this fertile land. Our descendants will always give their souls to you, the supreme and all-knowing one!"
"Shijun Luo appointed Jordan as the new successor. Captain Jiangyang, we have arrived at Zizhong County now and will arrive here in two days," Du Chou said with a solemn expression in the camp of the civilian elite army in Bodao, Jiangyang. Gongsun Shengling and Pu Gongsunshu were sitting around him. Gongsun Yan, Huang Yuan, Xu Zhu, Murong Fu, Duan Yu and others all had serious expressions on their faces. "Today we are all sitting together to discuss where we should go?"
"The whereabouts of the monarch are unknown, so Luo Shijun asked Qiaoden to replace the monarch. This move is inevitably too chilling." Gongsun Yan said quickly.
"The prince is missing because of our brother who died unjustly," Duan Yu said angrily: "What's more, he is the lord of our Bodao Kingdom. I don't care who comes, I only recognize him "Junhou alone."
"That's right." Huang Yuan shouted emotionally: "Junhou treats us like reborn parents. We can't lose our conscience." He said and glared. He glanced around the crowd, his eyes full of ferocity.
"The most urgent task is to find the prince. If we don't find the prince, no matter how much we yell, it will be useless." Murong Fu glanced at Huang Yuan and said coldly. He usually couldn't see it the most. Huang Yuan was used to talking about his identity as a monk every day.
"Murong Fu, what do you mean?" Huang Yuan said angrily: "Who said we won't look for the prince?"
"Shut up!" Du Chou shouted, He glanced at Murong Fu and Huang Yuan coldly, and then said: "You must be looking for a prince. Yesterday I went back to the Bodao Kingdom and met with the mistress. The mistress said that she would go there in person. Go to Yufu and even Jingzhou to look for the prince. Firstly, I want to determine who will follow my mistress to find the prince. Secondly, we, the elite army of the common people of Bodao, were built by the prince. Hou's hard work. When the refugees were raging, only Jun Hou stepped forward to rescue Deyang regardless of personal honor and disgrace. Looking at what Xin Ran did, I don't think anyone could fall into the hands of our army. The prince treats us. So, under the pretext of following the mistress to find the prince, I will leave with some people and leave some people to guard the Bodao Hou Mansion. "
What do you think?" Gongsun Sheng looked at everyone. Nodding and frowning, he said: "But we are already under the command of Captain Jiangyang. As Brother Du said, how can we pass the test of Lord Mao and how can Lord Luo accept it?"
"Brother, you..." Gongsun Yan said anxiously when she heard Gongsun Sheng's words.
Before she finished speaking, Gongsun ShengbaoHe waved his hand, interrupted her words and continued: "If everyone leaves without saying goodbye, this is tantamount to conspiracy. This is not helping the monarch but harming the monarch."
After Gongsun Sheng said this, Then he kept silent, and after everyone heard this, they also fell silent. For a moment, there was silence in the big tent.
"I agree with what Mr. Gongsun said." Murong Fu broke the calm and said.
"Humph, you idiot!" Huang Yuan looked at Gongsun Sheng and then Murong Fu with dissatisfaction and cursed in a low voice.
"Huang, who are you scolding?" Murong Fu said angrily: "What do you think we should do?"
"Huh." Huang Yuan snorted but couldn't say anything. When he said something, he could only punch his left palm with his right fist bitterly.
"Let me say, let's all go back to Bodao and wait for the prince to come back. Who cares who he is, Captain Qiao or Lord Maofu, Lord Luo." Duan Yu said again, "If it is really the imperial court If you cause trouble for us, let’s go to Brother Yong and the others.”
“Asshole!” Du Chou yelled, “Shut up, Duan Yu.”
Duan. Yu had always been in awe of Du Chou, so when he heard these words, he couldn't help but shrink his head and said nothing.
"Captain Gongsun, what's your opinion?" Du Chou asked Du Chou after he stopped Duan Yu and then looked at Gongsun Shu, who had his head buried in silence.
"After the Battle of Deyang, when Junhou and I inspected the wounded, I saw that Junhou showed a look of intolerance." Gongsun Shu did not answer directly, but said slowly: "I know you Hou felt sorry for our dead and injured soldiers. Later, everyone knew that Junhou had encountered various difficulties from recruiting troops to getting money and food. I asked Junhou if he regretted coming to rescue Deyang."
He stopped here, raised his head, and glanced around the people in the tent.
