The forty-nine horse bandits suddenly transformed into Tang Jiu Sheng's temporary guard. Tang Jiu Sheng led Lu Fangping and others to turn around and return to Zijunzhou City. They traveled more than 40 miles and arrived in less than an hour to guard the north of the county city.

A dozen garrison soldiers at the gate saw a cavalry team of dozens of people from a distance, all following a carriage with great swagger. The dust and smoke were flying everywhere. When they got closer, they suddenly discovered that all the people in this cavalry team were wearing sabers.

More than a dozen garrison soldiers were facing a formidable enemy. They worked together to move a horse to block the city gate. One of the garrison soldiers rushed over and shouted to the captain of the city gate who was taking a nap, "Wang Lieutenant, Wang Lieutenant, please leave."

Go to sleep! Something big has happened! Dozens of cavalry are about to enter the city! They are all wearing casual clothes. I don’t know where the team came from!"

The captain of the city gate, who was taking a nap, was startled. He jumped up and ran to the city gate. He stood behind the horse with a frightened expression. Looking horizontally and vertically, this team did not look like an official army, but more like horse bandits! City Gate

The captain was very puzzled, where did the horse bandits come from so boldly and dared to come to the county town? The captain at the city gate asked loudly: "Where did you get the soldiers and horses? When soldiers and horses from other places enter the city, there must be a military department.

Order!"

Tang Jiusheng's carriage was at the front, followed by Lu Fangping. Tang Jiusheng shouted, stopped the carriage, and looked at the city gate captain calmly. Lu Fangping was furious, rode forward, pulled out his sharp saber, and pointed at the city gate.

The gate captain shouted sternly: "King Wei is about to enter the city. Anyone who dares to block the way will die!"

The Chengmen Colonel's legs started to shake. If it was really the prince who entered the city, he would not dare to stop him even if he had the courage to do so. However, these people did not have any ceremonial guards. How could they prove that they were the thousand-year-old King of Wei? The City Gate Colonel had the courage to shout loudly.

He said: "General, since you said he is a thousand-year-old man of King Wei, please show me the official document from the Ministry of War or the talisman of King Wei! Guarding the city gate is a humble duty. I dare not abandon the public official for personal reasons. Please forgive me, General!"

"

"You!" Lu Fangping was angry and anxious. If he hadn't blocked the horse, he could have chopped off the captain with one knife. Tang Jiusheng nodded with satisfaction. Although the rank of the captain was not high, he was very good at being neither humble nor overbearing! Tang Jiusheng

Calmly, he took out the imperial gold medal from his arms and threw it to Lu Fangping. Lu Fangping grabbed the imperial gold medal, glanced at it, his eyes lit up, and shouted sternly: "Here is the imperial gold medal from the Imperial Prefecture!"

The captain of the city gate was shocked when he saw the gold medal given by the emperor. He knelt down on one knee with his sword in his hand and said, "Long live my emperor!" More than a dozen garrison soldiers were also scared to death. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting.

Long live. The captain surnamed Wang kowtowed, stood up and said loudly: "Quick, quick, move away the Juma, let King Wei enter the city!" The garrison soldiers were in a hurry, moved forward to move the Juma away, and the city gate school

The captain and his garrison knelt down on both sides of the road to welcome King Wei's carriage into the city.

Lu Fangping was leading the way, and there was no need to shout. The people on the street saw these people riding tall horses, and all of them had their horses on their backs.

The sword was as fierce as a demon, and they had long been frightened and fled in all directions. Who dared to come forward? Tang Jiu Sheng and his party arrived at the county guard's yamen without any obstruction. The officer on duty at the yamen gate saw that a cavalry of dozens of people had arrived, and he was also startled.

, came over to ask, Lu Fangping raised the gold medal given by the emperor and shouted, "The thousand-year-old King Wei has arrived!"

When the officer saw the gold medal, he was so pissed that he knelt down and kowtowed. Then he flew in and reported to the county guard. Lu Fangping respectfully returned the gold medal to Tang Jiu Sheng. After a while, the ceremony door opened wide, and the county guard Xiong Wenzhao took his leave.

Officials of all sizes, such as the driver, the meritor, the chief minister, the clerks, the scribes, etc. came out to welcome him, and they knelt down and kowtowed to welcome the thousand-year-old King Wei.

After the county guard Xiong Wenzhao called the king of Wei a thousand years old, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear that the prince would pursue him for not sending troops a few days ago. Tang Jiusheng jumped down from the carriage, helped Du Ruo, and walked to Xiong Wenzhao.

, looked down at him and said nothing. Xiong Wenzhao was lying on the ground, shaking into a ball, his heart was beating wildly, and he secretly cursed King Zhou Yin Ao, you have made me suffer! Now King Wei is back to take revenge,

What should I do?

Tang Jiusheng looked at Xiong Wenzhao for a long time, and then said: "Everyone, get up!" Xiong Wenzhao and all the officials stood up, and they all looked at each other with earth-colored faces. They all knew that King Wei was in danger in Wanhua Valley a few days ago, and the county governor was called to the meeting.

The emergency document from Xianzhi County claimed that he could not afford to be ill and not a single soldier was dispatched from the beginning to the end. Now that King Wei has come to visit, who is not afraid of being implicated in this matter?

Xiong Wenzhao bowed and said with a trembling smile: "I didn't know that Your Majesty was here, so I missed your welcome. Please forgive me!"

Tang Jiusheng had no expression on his face and snorted, "He who doesn't know is not guilty, but he who pretends to be sick after knowing it is guilty!" Xiong Wenzhao's heart skipped a beat and he finished thinking. The prince is indeed here because of this matter.

With a smile on his face, Wen Zhao bowed his head and invited the prince to the third hall. His chief clerk was responsible for entertaining the prince's entourage.

Tang Jiusheng helped Du Ruo to the third hall and asked Du Ruo to sit next to him. He looked at Xiong Wenzhao coldly and said in a deep voice: "Ask all the irrelevant people to leave!" Xiong Wenzhao was immediately dumbfounded. It seemed that this prince was going to

You are attacking yourself here!

Xiong Wenzhao had no choice but to retreat to the left and right, even Zi Junzhou Biejia retreated. After everyone had retreated, Xiong Wenzhao fell to the ground with a thud, knelt up and hugged Tang Jiusheng's thigh, wailing: "Your Majesty,

, I have found out my guilt, please spare my life, Your Majesty! I have no choice but to do so!"

Tang Jiusheng sneered, "Master Xiong, I know some things are not your idea, you just took it for others!"

Xiong Wenzhao kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty is so wise! I am just a small county guard, what do you dare to do? Everything must be obeyed by the superiors! I really have no choice but to beg Your Majesty for mercy!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "I also know

You have no choice but to pay back since everyone comes out to fool around! I can’t let you go just like this, right? Lord Sheriff, tell me, how should I deal with you? Kill everyone in your family? It seems heavy.

It's a little bit lighter. It seems a little lighter to hit twenty big boards. Alas, it's difficult for me too!"

Xiong Wenzhao knelt on the ground, trembling. Tang Jiusheng picked up Xiong Wenzhao from the ground. He didn't use any internal force, but just punched, kicked and slapped Xiong Wenzhao.

Hengliu didn't dare to cry loudly. After beating him for a long time, Tang Jiusheng said: "Master Xiong, I haven't vented enough anger yet. What do you think we should do?"

Xiong Wenzhao wailed: "My lord, you can't hit me anymore, otherwise someone will die!"

Tang Jiusheng sat back on his chair and smiled coldly, "Lord Xiong, you said that I killed a fourth-grade county guard. Your Majesty wouldn't fall out with me over such a trivial matter, right?"

Xiong Wenzhao was heartbroken and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty! I have been convicted of my crime!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded, lowered his head and chuckled, "Okay, I can spare your life, but I have a request. These followers I have brought with me will be used as personal soldiers in the future. They don't have armor, bows and crossbows. Come here."

I asked your Lord County Sheriff to borrow some, and the County Sheriff wouldn't refuse, right? I didn't bring enough money with me when I went on a trip, so I asked your Lord County Sheriff to borrow a few thousand taels of silver. Do you have any?"

As soon as Xiong Wenzhao heard that he could survive, he immediately put on a smile and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, no problem, no problem! Dozens of sets of armor and crossbows are still available in the arsenal! Even if you want money, no problem!

I will send someone to prepare the matter right now! Please wait a moment, Your Majesty!"

Xiong Wenzhao was afraid that the prince would be beaten again if he didn't calm down, so he hurriedly ran out of the three halls. The officials, big and small, were shocked to see the county governor being beaten to such a bad character. Xiong Wenzhao quickly ordered his subordinates to go to the armory and take out fifty sets.

Armor and crossbows, and five thousand taels of silver notes were prepared before he dared to come back to see Tang Jiusheng.

Tang Jiusheng was joking with Du Ruo when he saw Xiong Wenzhao walking in with a stack of silver notes. He bent down and handed it to Tang Jiusheng with both hands. He said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, these are five thousand taels of silver notes. Please check it!"

Tang Jiusheng took the banknote without counting it and put it directly into his arms. He also ordered Xiong Wenzhao to prepare lunch. How dare Xiong Wenzhao disobey and sent someone to gather him. That night, Tang Jiusheng stayed at the county governor's mansion. Xiong Wenzhao ran forward.

After running, he tried his best to make up for his previous losses, so Tang Jiusheng accepted it calmly.

When he got up early the next day, Tang Jiusheng took Du Ruo, Lu Fangping and others up and left the Zijunzhou County Guard's Yamen. When leaving, he asked Xiong Wenzhao to ask Xiong Wenzhao for the city gate captain to leave.
