Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 32: : Return

The situation in Eight Dragon City is strange. Only for Li Zhen alone.

And the southeast state is also surging, and it is only for Li Zhen.

Huangpu County, within the state government office.

Dong Shixiang, Governor of Southeast Prefecture, urgently summoned Princess Huangpu, and asked in a hurry: "I got a report that the number one scholar who escorted Li Zhen to Beijing suddenly turned back. He came in the direction of Huangpu County. Something happened. Is it?"

The owner of Huangpu County was stunned, and murmured: "Shouldn't you come to Huangpu County?"

"The informant said that the Imperial Army marched in a hurry all the way, and the imperial guards in the capital were full of murderous intent. They didn't seem to be here to do business, but to kill people. Have you ever talked to Li Zhendi? Did he have any enemies when he was in Huangpu County? Has anyone offended him?"

The owner of Huangpu County thought about it carefully, and said in horror: "I know. He didn't come for Huangpu County, he... is going to Jiahe County."

"What? Someone in Jiahe County offended him?"

"Folk rumors say that Li Zhen's number one scholar was fished out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood. The storyteller compiled a book, and there is a chapter called "One Man's Cavalry", which said that when Li Zhen came to rush for the exam, There were more than ten teams of horse-drawn carriages and another examinee. But when they passed Yanziji, they encountered horse thieves, and all of them died trying to let Li Chen escape. Only Li Zhen escaped. If...he has If it is an enemy, then it must be Yanziji."

Dong Shixiang, Governor of Southeast Prefecture, was stunned for a long time, and he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it didn't happen in Huangpu County. Jiahe County...it doesn't matter.

But I was still a little shocked, this champion is really decisive. If you have a grudge, you will avenge it. It will never be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

"Prepare the horses, march bravely, and march out of Yanziji. There is an imperial decree that'where the champion goes, the officials of the states and counties along the way must greet and **** him." Come back, you and I are responsible."

"Will you notify Wang Jixiang?"

Dong Shixiang hesitated for a while, waved his hand and said, "No notice."

“…”

It's been a long day.

The next day.

The lord of Jiahe County, Wang Jixiang, still received the tip, and the number one scholar who had already left turned back and came towards Jiahe County.

Wang Jixiang has a clear mind, he knows better than anyone why the number one scholar turned back. But just because he knew it, Wang Jixiang panicked.

"Not good...he wants to kill me Yanziji."

Wang Jixiang sat on the chair in a daze and murmured.

The horse thief in Yanziji is indeed an official bandit, and it is indeed Wang Jixiang's men. The previous head of Yanziji was the bodyguard brought by Wang Jixiang from the capital, but he was killed by the bombing.

The reason why Yanzi Jima Thief was established was because of three considerations.

First, Wang Jixiang has just taken office. If he wants to develop Jiahe County, he needs a lot of money. And he arranged for two horse thieves to settle down on the two roads into Jiahe County for the simple purpose of stealing money. Those who entered Jiahe County all wanted to go to Huangpu County, and most of the people who went to Huangpu County were businessmen. Merchant rich. One vote is one vote. Nothing is quicker than a money grab.

Second, because Wang Jixiang just took office, the people in Jiahe County are still relatively unfamiliar with him. Then it takes word of mouth. He personally developed the horse thief, and wanted to make the horse thief bigger and make the horse thief famous. Then he personally led the troops to exterminate the horse thieves. Then the local people will sing praises to him. In terms of political achievements, this is also a strong stroke.

Wang Jixiang can completely push the rampant horse thief to his predecessor's ineffective governance. Because he was new here, the horse thief was so rampant. That must be the scourge left by the predecessor. When it comes to where to go, Wang Jixiang's advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The third reason is that most of the candidates will go to Jiahe County to rush for the exam. Then arrange horse thieves to intercept and kill candidates from other counties, which can fundamentally eliminate the enrollment rate of other counties, which cannot compare with Jiahe County.

Three birds with one stone. This is the reason why Wang Jixiang established the horse thief.

And now it happened. If Li Zhen is allowed to lead the imperial guards in the capital to exterminate them like this, it will instantly become a disaster for Wang Jixiang's interests...

"What to do."

Wang Jixiang's anxious eyes were blood red.

The entourage beside him said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to think of a solution, there is no other way. I heard that the state governor is coming to Jiahe County, and he will be there soon. Obviously, I didn't think about notifying you. Yanziji can't keep it Now, the only thing is... Hurry up and send troops to Yanziji, take the initiative to stand by Li Zhen's side, and help Li Zhen wipe out the horse thieves."

"Eliminate the horse thieves?"

Wang Jixiang went crazy: "These are the ten bodyguards I brought from the capital. They grew up with me, slaves, brothers. You let me destroy them with my own hands?"

"If you don't lose your car, you won't be able to keep handsome."

Wang Jixiang gritted his teeth: "Send fast horses and quickly notify Yanziji to arrange evacuation. I regret it. I should have thought that Li Zhen would come back for revenge. I should have thought of arranging Yanziji to evacuate."

At this time, a soldier from outside reported: "Princess, the imperial guards in the capital are escorting the champion, and they have entered the territory of Jiahe County and arrived at Yanziji. , the governor of the state escorted him accordingly. Shall we go? He has already entered Jiahe County."

‘Hiss——’

Wang Jixiang gasped and said in horror, "So fast?"

"Hurry up, send troops to Yanziji."

“…”

————

It was never this fast. Ming officials said several times along the way, take a rest.

But Li Zhen knew that if he took a break, it would delay his time. With Wang Jixiang's cunning, he must arrange for Yanziji to evacuate. Then he lost the chance to catch him off guard. The tough attitude is to march all the way without rest.

Even Li Zhen abandoned the carriage and rode the horse with the whip.

The imperial guards in the capital saw that Li Zhen didn't even make a carriage, what else could they say? I can only grit my teeth ~IndoMTL.com~ and accompany him on a quick march.

"Finally, I'm back again."

Sitting on the horse, Li Zhen looked at the deep canyon a few miles ahead, with tears welling up in his eyes. No one can understand Li Zhen's mood when he returns to Yanziji at this time.

Once upon a time, a distraught boy escaped from here. Blood and tears.

More than a month later, he set foot on this land again with more than a thousand imperial guards. Murderous.

"Surround the entire Yanziji for me. No one is allowed to enter, but no one is allowed to exit. Let a horse thief go, and I will take you for questioning!"

Li Zhen grinned, with an extremely ferocious expression. A loud roar echoed in the valley.

'咴——' the war horse neighed.

More than a thousand imperial guards drew out their swords and muskets, scattered in all directions and surrounded Yanziji.

Can more than a thousand people surround a canyon?

Yes!

There are two peaks on the left and right of Yanziji.

But the mountain on the left is relatively flat, with a dense forest at the top. Up the mountain on the left, there is only one road.

It only takes more than a hundred riders to block that road, and the horse thieves are completely blocked in it.

And considering that the horse thief had a zipline that dropped directly from the sky, another hundred or so riders were scattered throughout the canyon, surrounded in all directions. It doesn't need to be airtight, just stand scattered, and flies can't fly in.

The Ming officials narrowed their pupils, looking at the vigorous young man riding a war horse in front of him, and the war god-like figure standing loyally beside him.

murmured softly: "It's good to fight an eye for an eye."

There is a truth that Ming officials understand: wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, but they are like walking in brocade clothes at night.

Changing the scene to revenge is also true.
