stubborn thief

Chapter 214
On the bank of the Jie River in the northwest of Pingliang Mansion, the King of Han ran for his life.

The huge and chaotic team ran wildly in the valley, with two or three hundred people running desperately in front, and hundreds of people chasing desperately behind.

More than a dozen personal guards were running ahead with swords and horses, and their wooden-soled soap boots slammed on the ground. They were all dressed in scarlet cloud brocade unicorn robes, with chain armor and gold and silver fish scale armor on the outside, shining like scales in the sunlight.

Dozens of guards wearing bubble nail armor held swords and bows to defend the rear. Their martial arts skills were all good, but they lacked heart. Two opponents fought with each other, one just wanted to kill and the other just wanted to escape. come out.

As for the middle of the team, it is not uncommon to see flowers everywhere, four-claw python robes, flying fish and bullfighting balls over the shoulders, and unicorns everywhere.

All kinds of brocade, makeup and silk are woven into red, blue, bright and dark patterns, which are dazzling.

It even looked as if they were afraid that others would not know that this was a group of princes and princes fleeing for their lives. There were five or six Huang Luo Gai umbrellas in the team alone.

The scene was extremely spectacular, and it even made people look forward to the scene where a county king fell and a scene of equipment everywhere broke out.

The team at the back was nothing like that, a mess of hungry people, armed with all kinds of farm tools and weapons.

First, a person rides a black donkey, holds a four-foot simple knife combined with a hatchet and a dog-beating stick, and charges forward again and again. Sometimes he can use the simple knife to knock people down, and more often he will be carried elsewhere by the black donkey. .

The black donkey rider was in front of the team, jumping from left to right, constantly jumping.

Like a ferocious shepherd dog, driving a large number of dressed beasts.

And in the direction where the lords were fleeing, a cavalry team rolled in and swept layers of smoke and dust in the valley, and divided into two teams to encircle them from the north and the south.

King Han, who was exhausted from running under the umbrella covered by Huang Luo, raised his eyes on his horse and looked westward, momentarily overjoyed.

The prince looked in a state of embarrassment. He didn't know where the black gauze wing good crown fell, and the jade belt around his waist was torn off. Only the hair scarf was still wrapped around his hair to protect his dignity and keep his hair from being disheveled.

He first turned his head and pushed away the attendant holding the umbrella cover, found a nephew on the side of the horse, took off his winged crown and put it on his head, and took his jade belt to hang around his waist, then turned his head and tugged He cursed in a hoarse voice: "Zhu Qi'er, the Guyuan army has arrived, and there is no place for you to die!"

The rider who was being driven by the mount and galloped passively left and right heard the words and reined in the black donkey, but he didn't completely rein in the donkey. The mount only stopped for a moment, then rushed madly to the periphery of the vassal king's escape team, staring at a guard horse soldier , Open your mouth and bite.

Wei Jun wanted to defend with a knife, but was blocked by Jin Chanzi on the donkey's back with a simple knife. Then the black donkey bit his thigh, dragged him off the horse, and asked Jin Chanzi to kill him with a knife.

In an instant, the man and the donkey were united and brought down a guard, which made Jin Chanzi very happy. Then the black donkey stood up, and Jin Chanzi also raised a knife on the donkey's back and yelled angrily: "It's like a pig, grandpa!" Today must be... eh, your mother!"

Sometimes people can become one with the mount, but sometimes the mount has a mind of its own.

For example, at this time, Jin Chanzi sat down on the black donkey and did not allow the master to speak harshly, so he stood a little higher and pushed Jin Chanzi down.

When Jin Chanzi got up again, he was dumbfounded. It turned out that the guard was riding a mare. At this time, the black donkey was already on the horse's back, and the big donkey's buttocks couldn't help shaking.

Jin Chanzi was extremely embarrassed, seeing another guard was about to surround him, he had no choice but to drag his knife and run back to the formation.

For a moment, the riverside, which was still tense just now, became audible.

The situation is very strange, centering on the mating place of wild horses and mules, to the west are many suzerains and vassals in luxurious clothes, to the east are starving people in scanty clothes, and to the north and south are horse soldiers from the Lion Camp.

At this moment, the high-status vassal king is not the protagonist, nor is the rebel army who wants to exterminate the princes and generals, nor is it even the well-organized Lion Camp.

Everyone watched the performance of the black donkey in silence.

Until the horsemen of the Lion Camp fired their guns into the sky, calling people's attention back with the sound of fire.

Liu Chengzong came late in the west, and walked forward with his hands on the saddle, and the soldiers behind him followed suit.

Wearing an official uniform on Sunday, he galloped forward, spurned the guards of the palace, searched the yellow umbrella, and shouted, "Where is His Royal Highness King Han?"

"This king is here."

Han Wang came out from the team, Zhou Riqiang quickly saluted, Han Wang also bowed his hands and asked, "Who are you?"

"The lower officials know that Ningzhou is strong on Sunday, and under the orders of Governor Yang of the military sect, please send soldiers to defend the Fan."

Before King Han could speak, Chang Shi beside him frowned and said, "Zhou Zhizhou lost his manners just now, how can there be any reason to shout in front of the king?"

Although Wangfu Changshi is a fifth-rank official, one level higher than Zhizhou, Sunday Qiang ignored him.

On the contrary, King Han waved his hand to persuade: "Hey, it's okay, Zhou Zhizhou led the army to come, and the king has already accepted his intentions, so don't talk nonsense about the noise in front of you."

Chang Shi cupped his hands and said, "The king taught you that."

The king of Han knew the most in his heart, what is the most important thing to be a vassal king?Not Yin, but knowing where he is.

If you can offend anyone, you can provoke them with all your strength;

They can't afford to offend the civil servants, these people can directly write letters to the emperor, and all the affairs of the clan's government have been moved to the Ministry of Rites. As for these government officials and state officials, if they fail to do so, the Ministry of Rites will be in the same year.

But Han Wang was very kind and pleasant to Zhou Ri, but not to the army behind him.

His demeanor has recovered, and the expression of panic is no longer on his face. He stepped out of the umbrella and walked around in front of him arrogantly. He was very dissatisfied with this army.

The uniforms are neat, the flags are messy, and the helmets of the sergeants are bare, only a helmet gun, not even a small flag.

How dare you look me in the eyes.

King Han inspected back and forth, but none of them got off their horses to salute. They all stared at him with their chins up.

rude.

Very rude.

It was King Han who looked around and couldn't figure out who their general was.

This army doesn’t even have any bullshit ceremonial system, it’s just that there are too many people, and the military formation is quite neat, but the king of Han can’t understand the military ceremonial system, just judging from the texture and color of the uniform and armor, it’s impossible to tell who the general is .

It's fine if you don't go to fight the thieves, but everyone is standing here watching, what do you mean, haven't you seen the prince?
He took a deep breath, snorted coldly, turned his head and said forcefully to Sunday: "Who is the general of this army? The young general on the red-haired horse in front looked at me very rudely, and he will be severely punished!"

Zhou Riqiang was asking Chang Shi about the murders of many county kings and generals, when he suddenly heard Han Wang’s words, his face turned ashen for a moment, as if he had eaten a stool, he glanced to the west in horror, and then said anxiously: “ Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness!"

King Han was taken aback, and then he laughed angrily. He was a donkey, and the more he went against him, the more angry he became: "It's really a tiger in Pingyang being bullied by dogs. Can this king even be a captain? Come and see."

He couldn't help but hold Zhou Riqiang, walked ten steps in front of Liu Chengzong's horse, raised his hand and said, "Look, Zhou Zhizhou, what kind of soldiers are you leading?"

"He's a good guy. He's mighty when he straddles the horse, but look at this. There's a dog lying in front of the horse, a cat sitting behind the horse, and a little girl beside him. Look at his expression. He's very disdainful of this king. Come here. Wei Fan must be very reluctant, this is my Ming army? It's an insult to the army!"

Seeing Sunday Qiang's ashen face, King Han became even angrier: "Why, can't you say anything?"

Sunday Qiang felt bitter, and thought that the vassal king was not stupid at all. He looked back at Liu Chengzong holding back a smile, but he didn't see any signs of anger, so he felt relieved, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty really has eyes like torches."

Hearing this word, Liu Chengzong was really amused.

He listened to King Han's scolding, and then looked at the sergeants on the left and right. Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, he must have been thinking about visiting a zoo, so he kept laughing.

He didn't smile, and neither did his subordinates, they all held back.

Until Zhou Riqiang said that his eyes were like a torch, he couldn't hold back anymore, he looked around and laughed out loud. For a while, the laughter of the army was like a mountain roar, which scared the prince, princess and many guards.

They even scared away Jin Chanzi's team behind them. They were surrounded by cavalry soldiers and stayed where they were, not daring to move. Only when they heard the laughter did they realize it and ran eastward.

"Smart eyes like torches?" Hearing the laughter, King Han finally sensed something was wrong, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Sunday Qiang thought about it, Han Wang's rebuke to Liu Chengzong's words can't be said to be wrong, but it can only be said to be completely correct.

Liu Chengzong really disdained him very much, and he was really reluctant to come to Wei Fan, and it was indeed not the Ming Dynasty's army.

But what should I say?

"Does your Highness know that there are no soldiers in Guyuan?"

King Han said disapprovingly, "I have heard a little bit about it."

"So they are not Guyuan soldiers." Zhou Riqiang asked Han Wang very seriously: "Has your majesty heard of... Liu Chengzong?"

Liu Chengzong?
Han Wang blinked, why does this name sound so familiar?
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across King Han's mind, and memories flooded into his heart like an electric shock.

When the governors of the three sides were stationed in Ningzhou, they stopped briefly in Pingliang Mansion, saying that a giant bandit from Yan'an Mansion led an army into Qingyang, and moved to Ningzhou to prevent him from conquering the vassal state.

The governor of the three sides is now sending troops to rescue him. His name is Yang He, and he is in Ningzhou.

What is the name of the giant bandit?Yes, called Liu Chengzong.

Han Wang was dumbfounded for a moment, and carefully looked ten steps away. From the corner of his eye, seeing the young general riding a red-haired horse was still staring at him, he turned his head in an instant, moved his body slowly, and blocked Liu Chengzong's sight with his back. Sunday Qiang whispered: "Is he Liu Chengzong?"

Zhou Qiang sighed through his nose, closed his eyes and nodded.

King Han looked up at the sky and rolled his eyes. Every muscle in his face had its own thoughts. He pulled his collar, tensed up, angry and timid, and shouted softly, "Who asked you to save me? This king doesn't want you!" You save!"

"Your Highness, don't know what's good or bad. I begged for a long time before he was willing to send troops to defend the Fan."

Zhou Riqiang remained expressionless: "If he hadn't come, I'm afraid there would be no South Korea in the future."

"There is no South Korea since he came. This king can run, can run!"

The bastard wants you to save it.

Han Wang looked around and wanted to cry, but it was too late to say anything about his mother, and he was surrounded by Yan'an giant bandits.

Sunday insisted: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, General Liu is not difficult to get along with. The imperial court is recruiting, and the matter has not been settled yet."

"You brought him here without a deal?"

It’s okay if Sunday is strong, but Han Wang is even more surprised and confused when he mentions it: “If there is something good or bad about this king, Sunday is strong, and you will not end well!”

"Be safe and don't be impatient. Your Highness heard from the officials that General Liu doesn't care about money. He is restrained and shrewd with the sergeants. After entering the city, he will not hurt the life of the vassal."

Han Wang pointed at Zhou Riqiang... This bastard still wants the giant bandits to enter the palace, finally he sighed, and said, "He really doesn't care for money? Well, the palace probably doesn't have any money."

"But he likes to read books. His Highness can find hundreds of books for him when he returns to the city." Then, Sunday insisted: "About recruiting, he came to Wei Fan, and he also wanted to ask for a title. I hope His Highness can help him speak with His Majesty." .”

After hearing this, King Han felt that he could stand up again.

"If you want a book, it's easy to deal with. There are so many copies of this king." King Han asked, "It's easy for him to ask for an official. His Majesty may not listen to what he asks for, but he saved this king's life. I have many Han Fans." The general of the county king begged him together."

The county kings and generals who had been listening quietly all nodded their heads one after another, letting them do whatever they could to save their lives, but at the same time, they all hated Sunday very much in their hearts...bring the killing god here.

A county king asked, "Didn't he want to be crowned king?"

"What a stupid question, you don't care what he wants." Han Wang stared and said, "You can ask for whatever he wants, and you are not allowed to come forward for a while, so as not to offend him and cause us disaster!"

In normal times, even if he was a prince, he would not be so strict with the county king, but at this time there is a big difference between life and death, and the surrounding county kings all nodded in agreement.

So what if you ask for a king with a different surname, the emperor decides whether the matter will come true or not, they are only responsible for asking.

Shaking his head strongly on Sunday, he said, "He wants Qinghai's consolation envoy, and he also wants a Xining guard envoy for his brother."

"whispering sound!"

A bunch of county kings couldn't laugh or cry.

One is from the third grade, and the other is the third grade.

That's it?

"Ah!"

King Han snorted, "We big kings are not worth two third-rank officials."

Knowing what Liu Chengzong wanted, and knowing that he didn't want his own life, Han Wang felt much more comfortable, and said in command: "Okay... Sunday Qiang, you can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Han Wang tidied up his clothes, raised his two big sleeves and rubbed his hands, swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, turned around, raised his hands, and walked towards Liu Chengzong with a smile on his face.

Walked three steps in front of the horse and stood still, he smiled, cupped his hands and bowed, his voice was trembling, very nasty: "Your Majesty, get off the horse."

Liu Chengzong fought south and north, and was never knocked off his horse, but he was almost pushed off his horse by Han Wang's "big king".

"No, you are the king." Liu Chengzong glanced at King Han with sleepy eyes, and cupped his hands on the horse's back: "I am the captain riding the red-haired horse."

"Oh, Your Majesty has a big heart. That's just Xiao Wang's joke. Mr. Zhang Wenzhong said that if a person has a sin, if it is an unintentional mistake, no matter how big it is, he can be tolerant." Han Wang clasped his hands again and asked, "What do you think?"

To be honest, Liu Chengzong felt that the King of Han was okay, able to bend and shrink.

Someone else brought a ladder, so you can go down as soon as you need it.

He turned back and got off the horse, raised his hand and made a bow, and said: "If your highness is flattering you, please call me general."

As he spoke, he ordered behind him: "Expel the bandit soldiers, and restore Pingliang City."

　good afternoon!
