Luhe, Anzhou area.

A group of officials and soldiers of the imperial court, with thousands of people marching along the road, with guns and halberds as like forests and thorns as like clouds.

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

"I finally led my troops to the battle. This time I must show my skills and gain military merits..."

Liu Tongzheng's eyes flashed.

He was the commander of Anzhou in Luhe. After receiving the order of the prefect, he brought thousands of Anzhou troops to join forces with other state troops to attack Hongyun Mountain and suppress the bandits.

In recent years, there was no war in the imperial court, only the border troops occasionally fought against foreign races, or the northern troops sometimes stormed bandits to suppress bandits.

The emperor of the dynasty did not like military affairs. Many places had not launched a war for many years, and a large number of military officers in the court had nowhere to gain military merits. Especially in the southern areas like Luhe, there was no chance to fight. The soldiers were rarely trained, and many of them turned into farmers, and they had long been dissatisfied with the corpses. Most of them were empty wages, and the money flowed into the pockets of generals at all levels.

The prefect of Anzhou gave him six thousand soldiers, but in fact only three thousand people were ahead. This was the case in other states. Everyone made money like this.

Liu Tongzheng knew it well, but he would not point it out, after all, he was also a profitable person who was a waste of money.

The officers and soldiers gathered in the four prefectures of Luhe this time are known as the army of 30,000, but in the eyes of Liu Tongzhi, it would be great if they could break 10,000 people.

But he didn't care much.

Just suppressing bandits, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were enough, and he even felt that there were too many.

The three bandits of Hongyun, Tiger Head, and Huang Dang combined for 20,000 to 30,000, which sounds frightening, but the war may not necessarily be more soldiers than their officers and soldiers.

Besides, it is still unknown whether this thief wants to wipe out the thief...

I heard that the emperor was going south to visit the autumn tour, and the prefects of Luhe prefectures might really want to suppress the bandits, but their military officers also had their own ideas.

Liu Zhengyi planned to have a fight with other state commanders first. If the situation is possible, it is necessary to raise the bandits and respect themselves. Otherwise, if the bandits are killed completely, 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 to make money by using the name of suppressing bandits.

However, they did not dare to affect the Emperor Qiu Xun, so they still had to fight really, and they had to win the battle. At least they had to block the thieves on the mountain for several months.

Just as Liu Zheng was thinking, a scout came back.

"Report! The front is the boundary of Huangxi County. The subordinates found that something had happened here. The magistrate was assassinated yesterday. The murderer did not hide his name. He distributed "evil documents" all over the city, claiming to be Chen Feng, and he also plundered the magistrate's money and spread it to the people."

When Liu Tongzheng heard this, he immediately glared at him and said in surprise: "Chen Feng?!"

This was the first time he heard this news.

Among the four prefectures of Luhe, Anzhou is closest to Jiangchun, and the prefecture is even next to Jiangchun.

After Zhou Jing committed an accident in Wenshui County, he did not hide, but committed the crime along the way. Now he has committed an accident in three county towns. The last place he committed the crime was Huangxi County.

Just so happened that Liu Zheng set out from the prefecture and missed the news. His march was just the opposite of Zhou Jing, and he ran into this matter when he passed by.

"Please look at the Lord General, this is the document to be punished by the thief Chen Feng..."

The scout presented a piece of rag.

Liu Tongzheng hurriedly took it over, looked down and found that the evil deeds of Huangxi County magistrate and others were written in charcoal on it, and finally Chen Feng's "Declaration on Evils".

"Swear to kill all corrupt officials and bullies in the world? Humph, a child with yellow mouth, doesn't know the world is high!"

Liu Tongqi snorted coldly, his face full of disgust.

As the commander of a state, he never thought of the ruling. At this time, he felt even more disgusted when he saw Chen Feng boasting about Haikou.

So what if you are a mere man, but you are very skilled in martial arts? How can you change this world?

"This Chen Feng thief was wanted by various states in Luhe. Not only did he hide in the name but he also dared to scatter and kill people everywhere, and he was very arrogant!"

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

Liu Tongjian's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea.

Although the goal of his expedition was to attack Hongyun Mountain, Chen Feng's crime of killing officials was a serious offender in the court. Even the expedition to suppress bandits this time was related to this person, and catching him was a great achievement.

Although I still have to march, since I found this person's trace, how could I sit and watch the great master slip away?

Liu Tongzhi was secretly excited and felt that he was lucky.

"This Chen Feng thief committed a crime yesterday and should have not gone far... All scouts were released and searched for the whereabouts of this person along the way. Once the thief was found, he would bite him and send someone to report. I will temporarily station near Huangxi County."

He made arrangements immediately without thinking.

This trip is just a gathering, and I don’t worry about missing the military opportunity. I delayed here for two or three days, so there is no big problem.

If Chen Feng's whereabouts cannot be found for a few days, this person will probably have gone far and it will be difficult to catch him. It will not be too late to turn back and march back then. He will naturally know how to choose.

...

On the other side.

Zhou Jing and his party passed by a country tea shed. Seeing the sun was fierce, they took a break.

There were no other guests in the tea shop, and everyone sat down and asked for tea soup and started chatting casually.

"I'm so happy to follow my brother around for the heavens these days. I just feel that I've lived in vain before."

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

Since Zhou Jing helped him apart from his enemies, his respect for Zhou Jing has been raised to a new level.

Moreover, in the past few days, he has opened his horizons. Chen Feng's violent temperament taught him that he was excited. He only felt that a real man should do this. He saw that he was unfair and drew his sword to eliminate evil. He ignored the powerful and powerful people, but he would never look back and forth.

Hong Ding couldn't help but be glad that he followed Zhou Jing to leave Hongyun Mountain. It was not so exciting to stay on the mountain.

"That's right? I had a common idea when I followed my second brother to make a big fuss in Anlin's mansion."

Fang Zhen laughed and had a deep understanding.

Guo Haishen was a little more mature and worried, "My second brother really wants to fight Jiang Chun all the way? In this way, I am afraid that we will be unable to move forward in the future. Once we show up, we will inevitably be hunted down by officers and soldiers."

Zhou Jing took a sip of tea and waved his hand and said, "We are wandering around, and there are few people. Even if the officers and soldiers mobilize the troops, it will be difficult to round us up."

Lin Song, who was standing beside him, dared not speak.

When he saw Zhou Jing's behavior these days, he realized that this man was a lawless person. He was timid and dared not speak up easily.

Just as the group was drinking tea, several sweaty passers-by walked in.

Seeing these powerful men of Kong Wu, several passers-by hesitated and sat in the corner.

When Zhou Jing and others saw an outsider, they stopped and drank tea on their own.

After a while, these passers-by started chatting. Because they were afraid of disturbing Zhou Jing and other big men, their voices were extremely low, and most people could not hear what they were saying.

However, many of Zhou Jing and his group were skilled in martial arts and had outstanding hearings. They heard a series of words such as "the army of the court", "Red Cloud Mountain", and "suppression of bandits".

When everyone heard these words, their eyes flashed and they exchanged glances.

Guo Haishen immediately stood up, held a bowl of tea, and smiled and came over to chat.

He traveled around the world and was also good at communicating with such things.

Guo Haishen chatted with these passers-by for a while before returning to everyone, and gave a wink, indicating that this place is not a place for detailed explanation.

Everyone understood it, paid the tea money, left the tea shop, and walked a short distance before asking why.

"I just found out that the four prefectures of Luhe and He jointly sent troops, claiming to be 30,000 troops to attack Hongyun Mountain. Six thousand officers and soldiers from Anzhou were just around the corner, and the passers-by saw them yesterday."

Guo Haishen's tone was solemn.

Everyone was shocked.

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

Hong Dingxian was greatly shocked.

In his career as a grassland in Hutou Mountain, he had also seen officers and soldiers suppressing bandits, but this was the first time he heard of such a big move.

Fang Zhen snorted coldly: "Hey, there are so many people in the army who are empty-handed. It would be great if there are half of these 30,000 people."

"Half has 15,000 people, not a small number. The second brother helped Hongyun Mountain expand, and the three villages joined one village, becoming a great enemy in Luhe. It is estimated that the prefects of each state can no longer sit still and have to launch large 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 and pondered: "What do you think?"

"Return to Hongyun Mountain and help the leader of Yu village to repel the officers and soldiers."

Guo Haishen is unconscious.

Zhou Jing shook his head, not saying anything.

"Do you brother plan to ignore it?" Guo Haishen was surprised.

Zhou Jing waved his hand: "The Anzhou soldiers are close to each other. I will first go and find out the truth. If there is an opportunity, I can disrupt this army and cut off the officers and soldiers' fingers. As for Hongyun Mountain, I don't have to go back."

He didn't want to go back to Hongyun Mountain to help, after all, it was not a group of people. He helped Yu Feng expand, and he had already repaid his kindness for taking in. He was so kind and righteous. Although this caused the conquest of officers and soldiers, it was best for Hongyun Mountain to pass this level by himself. He could not get any benefits, and even he was completely counting on him after the disaster.

The officers and soldiers were powerful and did not go back, and Green Landing would not say anything. However, they were completely standing by and watching, which was not in line with Chen Feng's character, so Zhou Jing decided to indirectly help, which was considered to be a complete Green Landing loyalty and also expanded his reputation.

Fang Zhen was shocked: "Second brother, how can we disrupt these 6,000 soldiers in Anzhou?"

Zhou Jing spoke in a deep voice: "I have my own mind. You don't have to follow me, I'm alone enough."

"How can I let my brother take risks alone?!"

Everyone was upset and immediately objected.

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

Zhou Jing spoke firmly, dissuaded everyone and told her plans.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked and called it bold.

However, everyone had seen Zhou Jing's amazing martial arts. After hesitating, he was still persuaded and decided to let Zhou Jing act alone.

...

It's night.

Next to Huangxi County, thousands of soldiers and horses commanded by Liu set up camp on site and waited for a rest.

At the same time, Zhou Jing lay on a dirt slope, observing the camp below, his eyes flashing.

"Fortifications, patrols for posts are quite reliable, much better than bandits. The commander is somewhat of a soldier... Unfortunately, it is still useless to me."

A large number of officials and soldiers in the court did not hide their traces, so Zhou Jing only found out about the camping location of the Anzhou soldiers and horses, so he just asked for a little inquiry during the day.

On the way, he also found that officers and soldiers scouts searched him everywhere, so he thought clearly about the whole story... Obviously, this army passed by Huangxi County and found the traces of his crime, so he stopped marching for the time being and wanted to try to catch him.

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

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

He did not intend to break through thousands of soldiers and horses in Anzhou, but commanding the troops required officers at all levels, and his plan was to kill the officers simply, and the troops were almost paralyzed.

He is currently unable to catch up with his assassination. His ability to maximize the efficiency of damage is to maximize his ability.

It is impossible to start during the march, but the troops always need to set up camp, which is an opportunity. Even if the officers and soldiers are on guard, they will always find flaws if they want to sneak in alone.

"Anzhou claims to have produced 6,000 troops, why does it seem that there is not even half of them?"

Zhou Jing observed the camp and muttered to himself.

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

He took a deep breath, turned on the map radar, and quietly touched the camp in the darkness of the night.

...

In the camp, the main account.

Liu Tongzheng wore a helmet and armor, read at night with a lamp, watching the military information reported by the scout during the day.

"This Chen Feng hasn't gone far yet... I am really lucky!"

Liu Zheng was full of energy and his heart was surging.

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

Moreover, Chen Feng once injured the disciple of Qin Prime Minister and made such a contribution himself, he might even join the Qin party and make a fortune soon!

Liu Tongzheng was secretly excited and was determined to win, and he felt that his future of promotion and wealth was waving to him.

At this moment, the curtain was suddenly lifted.

A soldier dressed as a man walked straight in without notification.

Liu Tongzheng was stunned and subconsciously shouted: "Which battalion are you? Who asked you to come in? Where are the guards outside the door?"

Zhou Jing pulled out his waist knife without saying a word.

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

"Come! Save..."

brush!

The sharp sword light flashed in a flash.

Liu Tongzhi froze, and a blood line appeared on his neck, and fine blood beads were oozing out.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, and he let out a few "ho" sounds in his throat, falling backwards and falling to the ground with a bang.

‘I have not shown my skills yet, how can I die here…’
