Ming Zuo

Chapter 118 Beyond the killing

"I can't wait any longer, I'm ready to do it."

Xu Yaqing found Zuo Menggeng's trace and was ready to do it.Similarly, Zuo Menggeng also noticed something was wrong.

In terms of reconnaissance ability, no matter how immature the recruits of the reconnaissance brigade are, after professional training, they are not comparable to the mob of Wen Xiangjiao.

While they were adhering to the Wangting test team, alarms came from other directions one after another.

Zuo Menggeng decided that he had to do something.

After all, they were few people this time, and if they dragged on, they might have long nights and long dreams.

As for whether it will offend Wang Tingshi, that's out of the question.

Besides, this guy was dismissed from office as a civilian, so what can he do now?
Behind Zuo Menggeng is Donglin boss, who is very confident.

Everyone received the order and immediately ate and drank water to replenish their strength.At the same time, wipe the sword and prepare for the next action.

The biggest role of the Dengzhou party is to let this group of recruits receive a preliminary temper.

Although the price of growth is very painful, there is no shortcut to becoming a strong army.

Just when the preparations were almost here, some scouts rushed over.

"Qianzuo, the team is in the middle, just before the incense stick, Wang Ting's test team suddenly set off and headed straight for the Jiaohe River. It seems that they intend to cross the river immediately."

"No, Xu Yaqing is going to act first."

Liu Yiyuan reacted immediately.

When they went to Dengzhou, they had already walked this road, and it was used as training, and they also did drawing work.Know that there is only one wooden bridge on the Jiaohe River ahead, and there is no ferry.

In other words, unless you take the bridge, otherwise, if you want to cross the river, you have to go around far.

Zuo Menggeng moved faster and had already mounted the horse.

"Chase."

The rest of the people followed one after another, and for a while, the horseshoes were like thunder, and the wind was flying like lightning.

The general ran for five miles, and a group of knights rushed out from the side road. Without saying a word, they directly covered and killed them.

The two sides knew each other well, they didn't talk too much at all, and they immediately fought together.

After charging towards one, three people fell down here, and nearly thirty people were killed or injured by the Wenxiang believers blocking the way.

This comparison frightened many Wenxiang believers.If it weren't for the deterrence of the teaching law, it is estimated that many people would have slipped away.

Zuo Menggeng didn't want to care about the follow-up battle at first, but the mount under his crotch had just run a distance, and suddenly let out a wail, and fell heavily to one side.

Not only him, but also the mounts of several others.

Fortunately, everyone was very skilled and rolled away without being crushed by the fallen mounts.

When I went to look again, these Wenxiang believers who were blocking them even arranged a tripping rope insidiously.

This time I lost my car, and I could only look at the Jiaohe River in the distance. A convoy was slowly crossing the bridge, and I couldn't catch up.

Zuo Menggeng was in a hurry, and turned around to take the knife on the Wenxiang disciple who had caught up again.

In fact, these scouts are far better on land than on horseback, because they haven't learned riding skills for a few days.

Although there are quite a few horse bandits among Wenxiang believers who have been there for many years, when they encounter these professional combat machines, they will be judged.

After another round, the number of people killed exceeded fifty.

At this moment, even the bravest and most devout Wenxiang believers were terrified, turned their horses around and fled away.

But after such a delay, all the convoys in the distance were about to cross the river.

Zuo Menggeng and others cut off the tying rope, abandoned the injured mount, replaced it with the captured horse, and chased again.

..........................................

Just as Zuo Menggeng and others were fighting against the blocking enemy, Xu Yaqing finally showed her ferocious fangs.

She clasped Wang Tingshi's shoulders, winking like silk, as if she was no different from usual.

"It's sad and deplorable for the master to be robbed this time. But I don't know when he will be able to recover and regain his glory?"

In just a few days, Wang Tingshi seemed to have aged a round.

Once a man loses his power, he loses all vitality.

"Hey, it's becoming more and more difficult to be an official in the Ming Dynasty. It is clearly His Majesty's intention to approve Dongjiang Town's military strength of [-] or [-]. How unreasonable! It doesn't matter if this official is wrong, let's go home and live together, wouldn't we be happier than gods?"

Xu Yaqing said coquettishly: "But, in the heart of my family, only when you are dead, master, can you be truly happy."

Wang Tingji's face suddenly changed, and before he could make a move, a sharp pain came from the back of his neck.Immediately afterwards, the world in front of him was completely dark.

Xu Yaqing ruthlessly killed a court official, as if she had slapped a fly to death.After coughing three times, there were screams from outside the car.

After a while, the maid came out of the car.

"Saint, it's all settled. The one hundred thousand taels of silver stolen by Wang Tingshi also belong to us."

Xu Yaqing lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the pursuers in the distance, and finally recognized Zuo Menggeng.

After being slightly taken aback, he smiled.

"I wonder who is lingering, it turns out to be this enemy."

She turned her head and said to the maid: "Burn the bridge."

When Zuo Menggeng and others ran to the bridge, they had to stop.

The wooden bridge was on fire, and it was impossible to cross it.

Across the Jiaohe River tens of meters away, Xu Yaqing was waiting for him gracefully.

The woman re-veiled and became mysterious again.

"Zuo Menggeng, you're pretty good. You managed to catch up to Dengzhou. But, you're late. I have a dead body here, do you want it?"

Seeing the dead body of Wang Tingchao at her feet, everyone here was very annoyed.

It was a bad move, and this woman escaped unexpectedly.

Zuo Menggeng's heart was also in a mess, he didn't expect that because of his arrival, he would kill a court official.

I don't know what kind of waves this matter will cause in the court.

But it's not his turn to think about it. Instead, the vicious and decisive woman across the river made him pay more attention to it.

"You are lucky this time, but I will find you again soon. Xu Yaqing, your luck will run out."

After hearing this, Xu Yaqing laughed even more and trembled.

"Hahahahaha, Zuo Menggeng, you have repeatedly ruined the important affairs of my holy religion. Even if you don't come to me, I will look for you. Don't worry, my holy religion will punish you one by one. , will never let you die easily."

Zuo Menggeng nodded, and replied: "The punishment here is relatively simple. If you are caught, you will be put in a sack and trampled by a hundred horses."

Xu Yaqing's expression froze, and then she became enchanting again.

"What a stinky man who doesn't understand style! It's a pity that you will always be able to eat ashes behind my old lady's back. Just like this Jiaohe, you can't catch up."

Xu Yaqing's convoy drove away slowly, and finally disappeared into the sky.

A generation of feudal officials Wang Tingshi turned into a dry bone on the side of the road.Staring puzzled eyes, trying to find the answer from this upside-down world.

Zuo Menggeng knew that this confrontation with Xu Yaqing was over.

Although I don't know when the next time will be, but Xu Yaqing's private meeting with the Donglu envoy must have a major plan.

Once activated, it must be thunderous.

In order not to turn into an irreversible tragedy that day, the only way is to constantly strengthen oneself and use absolute tyrannical strength to completely despair this demon girl.

"Do you want to collect the corpses for the royal court?"

Seeing the governor's corpse exposed in the wilderness with his own eyes, Liu Yiyuan was shocked and couldn't help asking.

But thinking of the soldiers who died and the innocent people in Dengzhou City, Zuo Menggeng didn't have any good feelings for this guy.

"He doesn't deserve it."

Liu Yiyuan just touched it, and would not disobey Zuo Menggeng for it.

"Tell me, what will the imperial court do when they learn of this matter?"

Zuo Menggeng didn't want to stay here even for a second, so he turned his horse's head and turned to another road.

"It's just a bureaucrat who has lost power, who cares about him."

As if to confirm his words, four days later, when Zuo Menggeng and his party returned to Linqing, they happened to see the court's residence report.

Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, requested that the affairs of Liaodong should be unified, and suggested that the governor of Denglai should be abolished.

With the permission of the emperor, the governor of Denglai will no longer be established, and all affairs will be handled by Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan's authority reached its peak and he became the veritable first person in Liaodong.

Zuo Menggeng has no control over such major government affairs, and he doesn't even have the right to comment.

Compared with these, he is more concerned about the follow-up of this expedition.

Twenty soldiers from the reconnaissance brigade went out, and a total of eight people died.

Eight ordinary people.

There doesn't seem to be much to shine about in their lives.

In such troubled times, countless people lost their lives.It seems that thinking about it this way, their sacrifices are nothing.

But for the eight families, the sky fell.

When he returned to the back camp, facing the family members of the sacrificed soldiers, Zuo Menggeng suddenly discovered that the difficulty of commanding the army lies beyond killing.

"This is Zhao Eryang's family. His father died on the way to escape from the famine. Only he, his mother, and a younger brother are left. After coming to our place, Zhao Eryang became a soldier. Aunt Zhao couldn't stay idle, so she went to Wang Xiuzhi's quilt factory He works very hard. His younger brother is now an apprentice in the ironworks, but he is always clamoring to join the army."

After being notified, Chen Zhi came over and took Zuo Menggeng and other officers to sacrifice the soldiers' home.

But looking at the ordinary and calm door, everyone was stunned and couldn't take even a single step.

Well-behaved children went out with them, but never came back, what should their relatives think?
