Astral Apostle Chapter 197: Before I started my teacher, I met Yan Luo

Luhe, Anzhou area.

A court officer and soldier of thousands of people is marching along the avenue, with spears and halberds like forests and flags like clouds.

Liu Tongzhi rode a war horse and walked in front of the troops, turning his head to look at the winding troops.

"It's hard to lead the troops out, this time I'm going to show off my skills and make some military achievements..."

Liu Tongzhi's eyes flickered.

He is the ruler of Luhe Anzhou, and he received orders from the magistrate to bring thousands of Anzhou soldiers and horses together with troops from other states to attack Hongyun Mountain to suppress the bandits.

There have been no wars in the imperial court these years, only the frontier troops occasionally fight against aliens who are not in a good mood, or the northern troops sometimes suppress bandits.

The emperor didn't like military affairs at the time, and many places hadn't used weapons for many years, and a large number of court military officers had nowhere to gain military merit. Especially in the southern region like Luhe, there is no chance to fight. Soldiers seldom practice, many of them have turned into farmers, and they have long been dissatisfied.

The magistrate of Anzhou gave him 6,000 troops, but in fact there were only 3,000 of them in his early years. This is almost the same situation in other states. Everyone makes money like this.

Liu Tongzhi knows it well, but he won't point it out, after all, he is also a beneficiary who eats nothing.

The officers and soldiers gathered in the four prefectures of Luhe claimed to have an army of 30,000, but in Liu Tongzhi's view, it would be good if they could break through 10,000.

But he didn't care too much.

——It's just to suppress bandits, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are enough, even he thinks it's too much.

Hongyun, Hutou, and Huangdang have a total of 20,000 to 30,000 thieves. It sounds bluffing, but there may not necessarily be more soldiers than them.

Besides, it is still unknown whether this thief will be wiped out...

I heard that the emperor is about to go south for an autumn tour. The prefects of the Luhe prefectures may really want to suppress the bandits, but their military officers also have their own ideas.

Liu Tongzhi intends to meet with other state governors first. If the situation is favorable, it is all right to support the bandits. Otherwise, if the bandits are really wiped out, there will be no chance to send troops in the future.

They do not lack the courage to suppress bandits, but they are even more courageous in making money in the name of suppressing bandits.

However, they didn't dare to influence the emperor's autumn tour, so the fight had to be real, it had to be a victory, at least they had to block these thieves on the mountain for several months.

Just as Liu Tongzhi was thinking about it, a scout came back applauding.

"Report! The front is the boundary of Huangxi County. The subordinates visited and found that something happened here. The county magistrate was assassinated yesterday. Gather the magistrate's money and spread it among the people."

When Liu Tongzhi heard the words, he immediately stared and said in surprise, "Chen Feng?!"

It was the first time he heard the news.

Among the four Luhe prefectures, Anzhou is the closest to Jiangchun, and the state capital is even closer to Jiangchun.

After Zhou Jing committed crimes in Wenshui County, he did not hide, but continued to commit crimes together. Now he has committed crimes in three counties, and the last crime was committed in Huangxi County.

It just so happened that Liu Tongzhi set off from the state capital and missed the news. And his marching direction was just opposite to Zhou Jing's, and he ran into this matter when he passed by this place.

"Please take a look, my lord, this is the evil document written by the traitor Chen Feng..."

The scout presents a rag.

Liu Tongzhi hurriedly took it, looked down, and found that the evil deeds of the magistrate of Huangxi County and others were written on it in charcoal, and finally there was Chen Feng's "Declaration to Hate Evil".

"Vow to kill all the corrupt officials and bullies in the world? Huh, little boy with a yellow mouth, I don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

Liu Tong snorted coldly, with disgust on his face.

As the ruler of a state, he has always looked down on recklessness, and now he is subconsciously disgusted to see Chen Feng boasting about Haikou.

How can you change the morals of this world for mere grassroots people with high martial arts skills?

"This traitor Chen Feng is wanted by the Luhe states. Not only does he not hide his name and hide in Tibet, but he dares to show off and kill people everywhere. He is so rampant!"

He thought that Chen Feng would disappear temporarily after leaving Hongyun Mountain, but he didn't expect to find this person's whereabouts here.

Liu Tongzhi rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea.

Although the goal of the expedition was to attack Hongyun Mountain, Chen Feng committed the crime of killing an official, which is a repeat offender by the court. Even the expedition to suppress bandits this time is related to this person, and catching him is a great achievement.

Although I still have to march, since I found this person's trail, how can I sit back and watch the great merit slip away.

Liu Tongzhi was secretly a little excited, and felt that he was lucky.

"The thief Chen Feng committed the crime yesterday, and he should not have gone far... Release all the scout teams and search for this person along the way. Once the thief is found, he will bite him and send people to report. Stationed nearby."

Without thinking, he immediately made arrangements.

This trip is just a rendezvous, so don't worry about delaying the military plane. Delaying here for two or three days is not a big problem.

If you can't find Chen Feng's whereabouts for a few days, this person has probably gone far away. No matter how difficult it is to catch him, it will not be too late to go back and march. He naturally knows how to choose.

…

The other side.

Zhou Jing and his party passed by a tea shed in the countryside, seeing the fierce sun, they took a rest temporarily.

There were no other guests in the tea shop, everyone sat down, ordered tea soup, and chatted casually.

"It's really a pleasure to follow my brother to do justice for the sky these few days. I just feel that my life was wasted."

Hong Dingxian spoke in a low voice, but his tone was quite excited.

Since Zhou Jing helped him get rid of his enemies, his respect for Zhou Jing has risen to a new level.

And in the past few days, he has opened his eyes. Chen Feng's violent temper has made him feel emotional. He only feels that a man should be like this. Make mistakes, never look forward and backward.

Hong Ding couldn't help but rejoice that he left Hongyun Mountain with Zhou Jing, how could it be so exciting to stay on the mountain.

"That's not true. Back then when I followed my second brother to make trouble in Anlin Mansion, it was just a common idea."

Fang Zhen laughed, deeply understanding.

Guo Haishen was more mature and worried: "Second brother really wants to kill Jiang Chun all the way with great fanfare? In this way, I am afraid that we will be unable to move an inch in the future. Once we show up, we will be hunted down by officers and soldiers."

Zhou Jing took a sip of tea, waved his hands and said, "We are running around, and the number is small. Even if the officers and soldiers mobilize the army, it is difficult to round us up."

Lin Song on the side did not dare to speak.

After seeing Zhou Jing's behavior in the past few days, he realized that this man is a lawless person, and he was scared, and he didn't dare to speak up again easily.

While a group of people were drinking tea soup, a few sweaty passers-by came in.

Seeing this group of powerful men, several passers-by hesitated and sat in the corner.

Zhou Jing and the others stopped talking when they saw outsiders, and drank tea by themselves.

After a while, these passers-by started chatting, because they were afraid of disturbing Zhou Jing and other big men, so their voices were kept extremely low, and ordinary people could not hear what they were talking about.

However, many of Zhou Jing and his party were proficient in martial arts, with outstanding hearing, they heard a series of words such as "imperial soldiers and horses", "Hongyun Mountain", "bandit suppression".

Hearing these words, everyone's eyes flashed and they exchanged glances.

Guo Haishen got up immediately, holding a bowl of tea, smiling and approaching for a chat.

He travels all over the world, and he is also good at this kind of communication.

Guo Haishen chatted with these passers-by for a while, before returning to the crowd, he gave a wink, indicating that this is not a place to go into details.

Everyone understood, paid the tea money, left the tea shop, walked a short distance, and then asked why.

"I just inquired about it. The four prefectures of Luhe River jointly dispatched troops, claiming to have 30,000 troops, to attack Hongyun Mountain. There are 6,000 officers and soldiers from Anzhou, and they happened to be in the vicinity. Those passers-by saw it yesterday."

Guo Haishen spoke solemnly.

Everyone was shocked.

"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses to suppress bandits? Why are there so many this time?"

Hong Dingxian was shocked.

During his career in Hutou Mountain, he had also seen officers and soldiers suppress bandits, but this was the first time he heard of such a big hand.

Fang Zhen snorted coldly: "Hey, there are too many empty pay in the army, half of the 30,000 people will be good."

"Half of them have 15,000 people, which is not a small number. The second brother helped the expansion of Hongyun Mountain, and the three villages merged into one, and became a big bandit in the Luhe River. It is estimated that the prefects of the prefectures can't sit still anymore, and they will send a large number of troops... Hongyun Mountain is in danger this time, second brother, what should we do?"

Guo Haishen asked.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing touched his chin, pondered: "What do you guys think?"

"Go back to Hongyun Mountain, and help Village Master Yu repel the officers and soldiers."

Guo Haishen did not hesitate.

Zhou Jing shook his head, noncommittal.

"Brother is planning to ignore it?" Guo Hai was deeply surprised.

Zhou Jing waved his hand: "The soldiers and horses of Anzhou are nearby, I'll go and find out what's true first, if there is an opportunity, I can mess up the soldiers and horses and kill the officers and soldiers. As for Hongyun Mountain, I don't have to go back later. "

He doesn't want to go back to Hongyun Mountain to help, after all, he is not part of the same group, and helping Yu Feng expand himself is already repaying the love for taking him in, and doing his best. Although it caused the officers and soldiers to punish him, it is best for Hongyunshan to go through this hurdle by himself, and he can't take advantage of it, and even count on him to deal with the aftermath.

The officers and soldiers are powerful, if they don't go back by themselves, the Green Forest Road will not say anything. But completely standing on the sidelines is not in line with Chen Feng's temperament, so Zhou Jing decided to help indirectly, which can be regarded as full of the loyalty of the green forest, and by the way, also expands his own prestige.

Fang Zhen was taken aback: "Second brother, how can we disturb the six thousand soldiers and horses in Anzhou?"

Zhou Jing said in a deep voice: "I have my own calculations, you don't have to follow, I am enough."

"How can I put my brother in danger alone?!"

Everyone was in an uproar and immediately objected.

"The fewer people involved in this matter, the better. If you intervene, there will be more risks."

Zhou Jing spoke resolutely, dissuading everyone, and said his plan.

After listening, everyone was stunned and shouted boldly.

But everyone had seen Zhou Jing's astonishing martial arts, so after hesitating again and again, they were persuaded and decided to let Zhou Jing act alone.

…

It is night.

Beside Huangxi County, thousands of soldiers and horses commanded by Liu Tong camped on the spot, waiting for orders to rest.

At the same time, Zhou Jing was lying on a soil slope, observing the camp below, his eyes flickering.

"Fortifications and sentry patrols are quite reliable, much better than bandits. The commander is more or less a soldier... Unfortunately, it is still useless to me."

A large number of officers and soldiers of the imperial court did not hide their whereabouts, so Zhou Jing only found out the location of the Anzhou soldiers and horses camp after a little inquiring during the day,

On the way, he also found officers and soldiers scouting around to search him, so he figured out the ins and outs... Apparently, this army passed through Huangxi County and found traces of him committing the crime, so he stopped marching for the time being, trying to catch him .

Guo Haishen and others continued to move forward, showing their whereabouts to passers-by, deliberately leading away the pursuing soldiers and horses, making people think they were staying away.

Zhou Jing himself turned back quietly, and took advantage of the night to touch the camp of Anzhou soldiers and horses.

He didn't intend to break through the thousands of soldiers in Anzhou, but officers at all levels are needed to command the troops, and the plan is rough and simple-kill all the officers, and the army will almost be paralyzed.

He is currently powerless to charge thousands of troops head-on, and the assassination with his own skills is the most efficient way to destroy.

You can't do anything during the march, but the troops always need to set up camp. This is an opportunity. No matter how alert the officers and soldiers are, if they want to sneak in alone with their own skills, they can always find a loophole.

"Anzhou claims to have 6,000 soldiers and horses, why does it seem that there are not even half of them?"

Zhou Jing observed the camp, muttering to himself.

This is good news, it is more convenient to sneak in and kill yourself.

He took a deep breath, turned on the map radar, and quietly walked towards the camp under the darkness.

…

In the camp, the main tent.

Liu Tongzhi put on his helmet and armor, turned on the lamp to read at night, and watched the military situation reported by the scouts during the day.

"Sure enough, Chen Feng hasn't gone far...I'm really lucky!"

Liu Tongzhi was in high spirits and his heart was surging.

If you win this Chen Feng, you will be rewarded by the imperial court.

Furthermore, this Chen Feng once hurt the disciples of the Prime Minister of Qin, and he made this contribution himself, and he may even climb up to the Qin Party, and his prosperity is just around the corner!

Liu Tongzhi is secretly excited, he is sure to win, he only feels that the future of promotion and fortune is beckoning to him.

At this moment, the door curtain was suddenly lifted.

A man dressed as a soldier walked in without notifying him.

Liu Tongzhi was stunned, and subconsciously shouted: "Which battalion are you a soldier from? Who let you in? Where are the guards outside?"

Zhou Jing did not say a word~IndoMTL.com~he pulled out his waist knife.

At this time, Liu Tongzhi realized that something was wrong, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled out his sword, shouting:

"Come on! Help..."

Swipe!

The light of Xue Liang's knife is fleeting.

Liu Tongzhi's body froze, a line of blood appeared on his neck, and fine drops of blood oozed out.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, let out two "ho ho" in his throat, fell backwards, and fell to the ground with a slam.

'I haven't shown my talents yet, how can I die here...'

Liu Tongzhi's face was full of unwillingness, and he struggled to raise his hand, as if he wanted to grab something, but the palm of his hand was still unable to hang down.
