Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Jing Hongzhui performed lightness kung fu, galloping towards the government office, with a person on her back, still in a light posture, suddenly rising and falling on the roof, like a flying swallow splashing water.

As the wind howled, Su Yan whispered in his ear, summarizing the current situation in a few words.

Jing Hong chased because he thought the two thieve brothers were not pleasing to the eye, so he begged: "Let me take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the bandit team and assassinate Wang Wu Wang Liu directly, so it's over?"

Su Yan said: "Inappropriate. Right now, it seems that the thieves have a clear goal, which is to rob prisons and save people. If the five kings and six died suddenly at this moment, these bandits would have no leader. They might want to riot and loot indiscriminately in the city." Killing, the people's lives were lost in vain."

In fact, Jing Hong's pursuit may not have thought of this consequence, but she is used to being alone in the world, acting happily and enmity, except for her deceased sister, she has almost no close people, and her heart is getting colder and colder.Killing people for money only treats human life as a transaction.

Until I met Su Yan, I became affectionate because of kindness, and because of being together day and night, the affection became stronger. I have feelings of gratitude, admiration, respect, and admiration for Su Yan. The longer we get along, the more worried and reluctant to leave. I can't wait to protect him to the fullest.

However, this is not enough, we must be anxious about what he is anxious about, think about what he thinks, put our vision and mind at the same height as him, and do our best to help him realize his wish, so that he can become Mr. Su's... of...Jing Hongzhui gritted his teeth silently, Admonish yourself - bodyguard.

Not long after, the two had arrived at the government office. In order to save time, they didn't knock on the door to inform them, and went directly over the wall and broke into the lobby.

There were only a few yamen servants staying behind in the courtroom, and when they saw two ghostly figures flashing in, they were so frightened that they shouted and raised their swords.Jing Hong hurriedly stopped and shouted: "Master Yushi is here, don't be rude!"

Su Yan asked: "Where is the prefect of Zhou?"

The yamen servant hastily stopped the attack, and replied: "Master Zhifu learned that the thieves came to rob the prison, so he led the soldiers to the prison."

"When did you go?"

"I just left. I can't wait for the guard to come to rescue, and I don't know when the person who sent the news will return. The magistrate walked around the court for a long time, and finally took the sword hanging on the wall, saying that the bandits cannot be allowed to break through the city. , trapped the people in the fire of war."

Now Su Yan admired Zhou Zhidao a little bit.If it is a person with blood and courage, this move is due to his temperament, which is worthy of praise but does not appear to be valuable.But Zhou Zhidao is soft-tempered and less assertive. He spends his diary on the small pleasures of the field stove, and is a little afraid of things. He can remember his responsibilities and missions at critical moments, overcome his fear and fight hand-to-hand with thugs. No matter what the result is, he can afford his parents and officials. three words.

In this way, he couldn't just ignore him.

So Su Yan said to these yamen servants: "Come here, someone who is not afraid of death, and lead me the way, who dares to go?"

The servants looked at each other hesitantly.

Jing Hongzui snorted coldly: "Trash." He said to Su Yan: "I don't need them to lead the way, I will send you there."

"...Shangguan is not afraid of death, why should I cherish this body!" A thin yamen servant suddenly shouted, "The villain Tang Jing is willing to lead the way for the adults!"

Su Yan looked at the young yamen servant who stood up with a knife in his hand, "Your name is Tang Jing? Very good, let's go."

In the inn, Chu Yuan knocked open the door and saw that the room was empty and the windows were wide open. He guessed that Mr. Su had gone to the government office alone with the help of the gangster. He sighed in frustration and could only accept the fact.

He said to the rest of Jin Yiwei: "If Master Su makes a mistake, we will lose our lives. The matter has come to this point, it is better to go to the government prison and obey the command of the master, and die a worthy death."

Gao Shuo thought of the seal of Beizhen Fusi that he had given to him by Shen Qi, and said: "Since that's the case, I'll go to the secret sentry stronghold in the city to recruit people. Although most of the spies are operating at the border, there are not many left, but they are still a force .”

Chu Yuan nodded: "I almost forgot that you were originally from Beizhen Fusi. We are too few in number, it would be good to have more, go."

Gao Shuo clasped his fists and left.

Except for one person who was seriously injured on the bed and two servants were left to take care of them at the inn, the remaining eighteen guards in Jinyi mounted their horses and galloped towards the direction where the flames were raging and the sound of fighting sounded, with the determination to succeed or become benevolent.

Wang Wu and Wang Chen cut off the prison door and shackles.Qi Meng yelled, and like a tiger getting out of his guard, he snatched a hexagonal nail hammer from the hand of the minion, and holding on to the short iron chain on the hammer handle, he swung it loudly, and smashed a jailer's head with one blow. He laughed wildly and said, "Go to the government office and kill all the dog officials!"

When a group of people rushed out of the prison, they were already surrounded by officers and soldiers. Qi Meng became even more excited when he saw this, and rushed into the crowd like a mad tiger.The thieves and bandits were driven by his bravery, their morale was high, and they charged and killed with him, shouting loudly.

The Wang brothers fought in the rear.When the cloud-piercing whistle exploded in the air, the two were in the dungeon and hadn't seen them. As soon as they came out this time, a clever minion came to report.

Wang Chen chopped down a soldier with a knife, and said to Wang Wu: "Brother, the dog officer sent a distress signal, there are thousands of people in the nearby guards, and they will come here in a short time, we can't love to fight."

Wang Wu replied: "We have already come to this point. There is no reason to enter Baoshan empty-handed. No matter what, we must kill Lu and Zhou to avenge our family... and that kid named Su." ! There are six or seven hundred brothers outside the city, led by Yang Hui, they can resist for a while at least."

To kill Lu Angao and Zhou Zhidao, Wang Chen agreed with a hundred thousand people, but when he heard that Su Yan was going to be killed, he felt a sudden in his heart, and always felt an indescribable astringency.

Scattered images flashed through my mind, suddenly it was in the cave behind the waterfall, the naked boy fell backwards, his long hair like ink was scattered on the snow-white flesh, and he thanked him frankly when he grabbed his neck; suddenly it was the wooden house in the village, The young man sat cross-legged, the dirty cloth robe could hardly hide his cleanliness, and he beat the ground and scolded his mother, showing his sincerity and frankness; suddenly there was a hand on his shoulder, and that hand clapped himself three times, accompanied by "Oath" The sonorous promise of "unbreakable"——

Could it be that all of this is a lie?

Maybe the young official had nothing to do with the death of his parents. Calculating the time, he almost just entered the city at the time of the execution, and happened to meet him on the execution ground...

Wang Wu and Wang Chen are twins with the same mind.As soon as Wang Wu saw his younger brother's expression, he knew that his will was shaken, so he rushed over immediately, blocked a sneak attack from behind for him, and cursed in a low voice: "Did you lose your mind on the battlefield, don't die?! The murderer who lied to you and me for a lie Enemy, are you stupid?"

Wang Chen also knew that he still wanted to believe Su Yan at this moment, and even subconsciously found excuses for him, which was really stupid.

Gritting his back molars hard, he swung his knife and chopped off the head of the sneak attacking soldier, splashing hot blood all over his face, so as to remind himself to calm down and stop being fooled by Su Yan's nonsense.

When Zhou Zhifu arrived with the yamen servants and soldiers, thousands of defenders were being crushed and beaten by five hundred bandits. They suffered heavy casualties, morale was low, and a gap had been killed in the encirclement.He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to fill in the gap, and rode on his horse and shouted loudly: "The five thousand elite soldiers of the guard have entered the city, and they will arrive immediately! The thieves will not surrender? Surrender now. Except for the bandit leader, the rest of the disciples will be forgiven. Wait." Once the reinforcements arrive, the military orders are ruthless, even if I try to save you, I will not be able to save you!"

Although there is no sign of reinforcements yet, Zhou Zhidao, the magistrate's official position, is after all learned from reading. He has some background, and a few words are false and true, which is exactly the strategy of military deceit and heart attack.

When the thieves and bandits heard that five thousand elite soldiers were approaching, they began to feel guilty. They also heard that surrender would save them from crime, and their hearts were shaken.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Wu also shouted loudly: "Brothers, think about it carefully, how did you fall into the grass and become a bandit because you couldn't survive? Could it be that you surrendered because of a lie, and then returned to the place where human life is not as good as a horse?" Go in a desperate situation?"

Wang Chen also shouted: "I'd rather believe in ghosts than an official's mouth! Kill this dog official!"

"Kill officials! Seize food! Find a way to survive!" All the thieves and bandits echoed in all directions, shouting loudly.

Zhou Zhifu's face turned pale, and he thought: If the reinforcements don't come, I really have to confess to being here tonight, and died in the line of duty!

Wang Chen thrust the simple sword into the ground, took off the iron tire bow on his back, pulled the bow and pulled the string, aimed at Zhou Zhidao on the horse's back, and the arrow shot away like lightning through the air.

Su Yan and Jing Hongchai, led by Yamen servant Tang Jing, rode to the prison on horseback, and at a distance of a hundred steps, under the light of the torches, they saw Wang Chen stretching his bow to shoot, and immediately shouted: "Achai, save me! "

Jing Hongzhui had already buckled a willow-leaf flying knife in his hand, and he heard the sound and suddenly released his finger.The flying knife slashed across an afterimage, and hit the cluster of arrows right in mid-air. With a "ding" sound, flames splashed out, and the two fell to the ground.

Wang Chen saw that his success fell short, and turned his head to stare at the person. The angry expression on his face turned into a dignified and complicated figure when he saw the speeding figure clearly.

He drew another arrow and put it on the string, aiming at Su Yan this time.

After a hundred steps, Su Yan reined in his horse and stopped beside Zhou Zhidao, and said, "Master Zhifu, be careful. I have released the cloud piercing whistle arrow, and reinforcements from the guard will arrive soon, so hold on for a while longer."

Wang Chen yelled angrily: "You! It was you who sent the sentry arrow!"

Su Yan and him were separated by dozens of soldiers and bandits who were fighting against each other. One was in an official robe, standing tall, and the other was clothed in cloth, with a horizontal knife stained with blood, and they looked at each other.

The thief's head with tattooed arms was still bare-chested, with muscular dark brown muscles naked, sweaty and oily in the firelight.Half of the face has a tough outline, with rough stubble, and the other half of the face is splattered with blood, and the eyes are as angry as waves, and as deep as deep.

Su Yan recalled how he raised his palms towards him and said "high fives as an oath" in a loud voice, and couldn't help but soften in his heart, and said to Jing Hong, "I want to talk to him, but I'm afraid the voice won't be able to reach that far. "

Jing Hong chased and jumped onto Su Yan's horse, and put his palm on the back of his heart, "Sir, tell me, as long as you speak at a normal volume, he will hear you."

When Su Yan opened his mouth, he found that the sound was easily transmitted to a distance under the stimulation of internal force, but it was not like the effect of a loudspeaker in later generations, but was condensed into a line and sent to the other side, just like talking face to face.

"Wang Chen, Wang Wu." Su Yan said clearly, "I know that you have lost your loved ones, and you feel grief and indignation in your hearts. Adhering to the imperial decree, he was dismissed for investigation, ordered to be escorted back to Beijing, and left to the emperor's disposal. It is expected that even if he does not die, he will inevitably be imprisoned or exiled.

"I also reported to the imperial court the incidents of improper local horse administration that led to turmoil, and requested that the strict arrest order be suspended, so as to appease the hearts of the people, and properly resettle the refugees. When the horse administration is cleared up, farming and production can be resumed, so that the officials and the people can settle down to their jobs. Please also You believe me, give me some time to fulfill my promise, don't be blinded by hatred, there is a fine line between grand thieves and thugs."

The Wang brothers were all taken aback.Wang Wu took the lead in shouting: "Lu Angao was just dismissed, so how can he pay for his crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately for a year! Let alone anything else, my brothers will cut off his head with our own hands as a sacrifice to our parents!"

Su Yan said: "He is guilty, and the country is ruled by law. If everyone can be lynched, what will happen to the country? The officials, gentry and wealthy households who were robbed by you also have fathers, wives and children at home, and servants to support them. Swords have no eyes , Accidentally injuring their lives is the same crime. Then their family members can also lynch you, arrest and behead you? And the ordnance you hijacked. You just want to strengthen your own armed forces. Have you considered that if the border guards lack Weapons, how to fight against the Tatars? The soldiers and soldiers spilled blood on the battlefield, didn’t the parents and children in the family feel the same grief?”

Wang Wu choked for a moment, and said again: "We are not saints, how can we manage thousands of people in the world, only care about one poor villager, and our hundreds of thousands of brothers, let them have food and drink, don't freeze to death and starve to death , it’s not easy.”

Su Yan asked: "It's not easy for you to take care of hundreds of thousands of people, so is it easy for the emperor to take care of 7000 million to [-] million people?"

He said sincerely: "The imperial court manages a huge territory and a large number of households. Whether it is policies or officials, it is impossible not to make mistakes. Now that the horse administration has made a mistake, it is a big mistake for the people to live. The emperor also misses the people and is worried, so he sent me. Come to investigate and govern. Can't you give me this opportunity to fulfill my promise to the king and the people, and the expectation of a peaceful world in the future?"

Wang Wu gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't talk too much! Look at the blood all over the ground, it's like old resentment, how can it be washed clean! Now that the weeds are the bandits, my brothers have left. , we have to go to the end, otherwise, if we fall into the hands of the imperial court, there is still a way to survive? Tonight, we robbed prisons to save people, and hacked and killed many officers and soldiers. Two stand, no need to persuade!"

Seeing that he was stubborn and refused to accept surrender, Su Yan asked Wang Chen, "You think so too?"

Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I just want to ask you one thing—"

"You ask."

"The night my parents were beheaded, you were at the execution ground? Why didn't you save them?"

Su Yan was at a loss for words, feeling guilty suddenly.He was also very annoyed, because it was the first time he saw such a scene when he was new to the place, according to normal logic and procedures, he first asked his colleagues about the situation and tried to dissuade him;Unexpectedly, Qi Meng, who was captured, suddenly jumped up, Lu Angao was startled, threw a lottery and shouted "quick", the executioner raised his knife and dropped it reflexively.

At this moment, Jing Hongzhui was concerned about his safety, and was busy taking him out of the battle ring, while the royal guards were ordered by the emperor to only protect his safety.He was caught off guard, and indeed he did not give the order in time to let them go to save people first—even if he gave the order, it might not be able to catch up with the millisecond time when the blade fell.

The bloody battle tonight was caused by a combination of accidents and God's will.

Rationally, I know that I am not responsible for this matter, but emotionally, I still feel uneasy in my heart, and I don't know how those people who know or don't know the truth will scold him behind his back...

Su Yan sighed and said sadly, "I'm very sorry."

Wang Chen clenched his teeth, his eyes were red, and he stared at him closely, as if he wanted to engrave the figure of this young official in his heart, and then use the blade to scrape it away from his heart one by one.There seemed to be a sharpening stone stuck in his throat, and every word was bloody grinded away from it. He choked up and said, "The high-five oath is hereby void... See you later, an enemy who is just fighting for life... Take this arrow as a witness !"

He stretched the longbow to the limit, and the arrow shot forward like lightning that broke through the darkness of the beginning.

Jing Hongzui's pupils shrank sharply, instead of catching the decisive arrow that contained all the energy and energy with his bare hands, he hugged Su Yan, dodging to the side with his legs between the horse's belly.The arrow whizzed past, not knowing where to fly into the void.

Su Yan tightly grasped Jing Hongchai's arm.

Jing Hongzhui knew that he was sad, and whispered in his ear: "This arrow is skewed, even if you don't avoid it, at most it will be scratched by the arrow wind. This thief knows his parents' intentions in his heart. You can't blame the adults, it's just that you can't make it through the face. Don't blame yourself, my lord."

A galloping horse came galloping behind him, and the messenger shouted: "The guard sent out men and horses after seeing the sentry arrows, and reinforcements are coming—"

Wang Wu yelled: "What an iron-mouthed censor, after talking so much, it's just a tactic to slow down the army! Brothers follow me, break out of the siege, and go out of the city!"

All the thieves screamed loudly, holding up their weapons and rushing towards the direction where Zhou Zhidao and Su Yan were, breaking through the encirclement of officers and soldiers like a black torrent.

Immediately, the scene was chaotic, Jing Hong only chased after Su Yan, drew his sword and cut off the weapons that were coming at him, and pushed aside the rain of arrows.And Su Yan still had to take care of Zhou Zhifu who slid off his horse in a panic, and desperately pulled him to his side.

Fortunately, at this moment, eighteen Jinyi Wei Tiqi arrived, protected the two of them, and retreated while beating them.Not long after, Gao Shuo also led seven or eight spies to join the protection circle, and the pressure suddenly eased.

Led by the three bandit chiefs, the thieves and gangsters finally rushed out of the city gate before the guards' elite soldiers entered the city, and joined Yang Hui who was responding.

At this time, the forward of the 5000 guards had arrived in the outskirts of the city.After a short confrontation between the two armies, the thieves suffered heavy casualties, so Wang Wu and Wang Chen ordered to retreat while fighting, and fled towards Qingyang Mansion.

They had already made a tactical plan for fleeing and fighting guerrillas in the Shaanxi Division before, so they did not attack Qingyang City, but chose weakly defended counties and counties to plunder and absorb refugees everywhere, and went south from Qingyang Mansion to Pingliang Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion , Hanzhong Mansion, and bypassed Xi'an Mansion to the east.

When entering the border of Henan, the team has grown to thousands of people, and the name of "Thieves and Bandits" was abandoned, and the name was changed to "Yijun", which gained momentum.But after all, the members are mainly farmers, horse households, and military surplus. There are also many local rogues who only know how to kill corrupt officials, rob landlords and powerful people, and occasionally harm the people. They also committed a lot of rape and robbery.

Later, he absorbed a part of the "Liao Crazy" from Henan, tightened military discipline, and played the banner of "doing justice for the sky and reopening chaos". From a group of mobs to a regular army of tens of thousands.At that time, the old and new emperors were changing, and the situation in the court was unstable, which triggered a riot that almost shook half of the country.

Of course, that's just another story.

Su Yan, a little butterfly that travels through time and space, changed the fate of many people with the slight wind blown by its wings. It is unknown whether it can turn the tide at that moment in the future.

All I know is that right now, he is still seriously ill, dizzy and weak, and he is holding on to preside over the overall situation, protecting the safety of Zhou Zhifu and other local officials, successfully delaying the situation until the arrival of reinforcements, and protecting Yan'an from thieves with minimal losses city.

After the dust settled, due to the exhaustion of his vitality, he saw his face turn blue, sweating, and he passed out as soon as he closed his eyes, scaring Jing Hongchai and Jinyiwei Tiqi to death.

Jing Hong chased him and ran wildly all the way, faster than a horse, rushed into the medical room, grabbed the doctor by the front and begged him to treat Master Su first.

The doctor was also frightened by the situation, and after carefully checking the pulse, he frowned and asked, "Is the patient high fever for several days, not eating, and running around just after fever?"

Jing Hongzhui nodded remorsefully, thinking that if she had known this before, she should have restrained Mr. Su from taking risks, and no matter what other people did!Urgent question: "Is there a serious problem? How to treat it? What rare medicine do I need? I can find it."

The doctor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young students, if you care about it, you will be confused. He is just weak after illness, and he has been hungry for a few days. He only needs to eat light and warm food, be more quiet and less active, and take care of him for a few days, and he will be fine."
