The residents of Xinhui who were leaving the city to worship have returned to the city one after another. Just like when leaving the city, the crowd also had no sound, and only the tears on their faces that had not yet been dried. During the intervals, one or two choking sounds could be heard occasionally.

No paper money fell in the wind, no sacrifices were seen in the team, and most of the white robes had gone, but the desolate sorrow did not weaken at all. The breeze blew by, making people feel that the world was full of dimness.

Seeing the people returning to the city, the servants were relieved. It would be fine if nothing happened. They were afraid that the Ming army would not go back, but that someone would cause trouble for the Qing army because of the death of their relatives. Before leaving the city, Huang Magistrate repeatedly reminded them not to have any trouble, otherwise their responsibilities would end. Now there was nothing to do, so the servants naturally felt relaxed. It was a good job to be able to eat food in the county government, and no one wanted to lose their job in vain.

He was about to enter the city, but Huang Si was still worried. He took a few officers and observed them again. After confirming that no one would have lived, he led people to the front.

When he was about to reach the city gate, he saw a group of Qing soldiers surrounding a general riding a horse out of the city. Huang Si knew at a glance that he was Yu Yunlong, the general under the command of King Pingnan.

Speaking of this, Yu Yunlong is very noble. He is from the Han army flag. He was the dragon who followed the King of Pingnan in Liaodong during the reign of Emperor Taizong. He was praised by Emperor Taizong. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, he followed the King of Pingnan to kill the generals and seize the flag. He jumped from a small way to become a general, which was highly valued in the heart of the King of Pingnan. In terms of closeness, Wu Jinzhong, the right-wing general of the Green Camp who was stationed in Xinhui, was far inferior to Yu Yunlong. Therefore, when the old thief besieged the city, the Qing army was mainly composed of Yunlong, and Wu Jinzhong, the general.

Where are you going to leave the city?

Huang Si murmured in a low voice. He did not dare to ask the Han Army Banner General. He was wondering if he had entered the city to report to the county master, but he saw that the county magistrate Huang led the county magistrate and a clerk to run out of the city gate quickly.

Huang Zhizheng was really tired after jogging from the county government. However, if he could ask the Yougan General to advise Prince Pingnan to waive the tax of the three years of Xinhui, it would be worth it no matter how hard or tired he was. If he didn't hear that You Yunlong was going back to Guangzhou to meet Prince Pingnan, he rushed over, fearing that he would delay the matter if he came too late.

On the way, I was worried that Yu Yunlong had already left. Now that I saw that the person had not left, Huang Zhizheng was immediately happy and breathed a sigh of relief. He walked down Yu Yunlong's horse with two steps. Without even having to breathe, he bowed respectfully and said his future intentions.

After hearing a few words, Yu Yunlong nodded and raised his whip and said sympathetically: "Xinhui is broken and the people are hard, so I see it. Well, it is rare that Huang County Magistrate serves the people so much. The exemption of tax will be given to me. When I see the prince, I will fulfill your wish. Otherwise, I will have no shame to come to this Xinhui City again."

"Thank you for your accomplishment, and I thank the general for your great kindness on behalf of the people of Xinhui!"

After hearing Yu Yunlong promised this, Huang Zhizheng was overjoyed. Seeing Yu Yunlong pulling his horse and leaving, he quickly bowed and said, "Sir, please see the general!"

Yuyunlong laughed and was about to run forward when he beat a horse, but in front of him he saw the people who had left the city to pay homage to the city gate. Somehow, he saw those people who were sorrowful that they killed people without blinking. The general Yougan, who was sent to the devil, put down the horse whip, and the person stopped leaving, but stood there.

Seeing this, Huang Zhizheng knew the reason and did not dare to speak. He stood by carefully. The soldiers of Youyunlong stood there silently, and some people looked at the people with a look of guilt.

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

Under the gaze of the Qing army, the people who returned to the city went to the city one after another. No one spoke at the top of the city gate, and it was quiet and suffocating.

Seeing that the people were almost about to enter the city, suddenly, a young man dressed in a scholar jumped out of the crowd and walked quickly towards Yunlong.

This man's actions immediately attracted the attention of the Qing soldiers. Yu Yunlong's personal soldiers were trying to intercept him, but Yu Yunlong waved his hand to repel them. In his opinion, he would be so nervous about a scholar who had no power to tie up. It was really a joke for him when he was spread.

Seeing the scholar stumbled and headed straight towards him, he seemed very anxious from a distance. He seemed to be in a hurry. He was surprised and pondered slightly. He turned to ask Huang Zhizheng on the horse, saying, "Mr. Huang, can you recognize this scholar?"

Huang Zhizheng was also a little surprised. He didn't know what the scholar came over to do. After listening to Yunlong's question, he quickly looked at it and said, "Return to the general's words, the official knows this person. This person is Zhou Shixiang, a scholar in this county." The county magistrate next to him also knew Zhou Shixiang and nodded to indicate that it was indeed this person.

He was indeed a scholar, and Yu Yunlong felt even more relieved. He pointed to Zhou Shixiang, who had reached the nearest front with a horse whip and asked loudly, "What are you going to do as a scholar?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Shixiang kneeling down ten feet away from him, and then bowed to him.

This sudden scene surprised Yuyun Long. Someone came to worship him in broad daylight, which really made him very curious. He was confused and turned over from his horse, took the whip and walked forward a few steps, and asked Zhou Shixiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "What are you, a scholar, worshiping me?"

But Zhou Shixiang did not answer this time. After bowing a few more times, he raised his head and slowly said to Youyun Long: "Return to the general's words, the students' parents, wife and children are in the general's belly. Now the cold food is approaching, and the students have nowhere to worship. As soon as the general is here, the students come here to pay a visit. If the general does not allow it, the students don't know where to worship?" After that, he joked a few more poems.

These words came out from Zhou Shixiang. The group of Yu Yunlong's personal soldiers, Huang Zhizheng and others were stunned. Yu Yunlong's face turned red, ashamed and embarrassed. As for whether he had the flesh of his parents, wife and children in his stomach, he did not dare to verify it. He guarded the city for several months, and there were many people in Xinhui who he ate. At night, he was awakened by nightmares. Now, he felt ashamed and sorry for the tens of thousands of people in Xinhui City.

"You scholar, really... really..."

It was neither too shameful and ashamed that Yu Yunlong was scolding, nor too much, so he turned his head and ignored this scholar. Seeing so many people, he was not really very shameless. He could not really have the same experience as this sour scholar who had died of his parents, wife and children.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Shixiang called out again: "General, can you let the student go forward?"

"What do you and I have to say?" Yu Yunlong instinctively wanted to reject the scholar. He saw that the other party looked at him with a begging face, and sighed and said, "Forget it, come forward, I will listen to what you said." He thought to himself that if this scholar had any difficulties asking for help, he had to help him, so it would be considered a little compensation.

"Thank you, General!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixiang stood up and walked to Youyunlong, lowered his body slightly, and said calmly: "General, what the student wants to say..." He paused for a moment, and said with a little sadness, "The student's parents, wife and children are all dead at your hands. How dare you ask the general, should the student take revenge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shixiang saw a kitchen knife appearing on his right hand, but the kitchen knife was long ago blocked under his robe!

"you!"

The scholar suddenly drew his sword. After a sudden change, Yunlong was shocked. Before he could react, Zhou Shixiang's kitchen knife had already slashed his neck hard. His movements were so fast, his strength, and his accuracy made him, a martial artist who had traveled around the world and killed countless people, had nowhere to hide.

With a "wavy" sound, most of the soft meat between Yunlong's neck was cut open by a kitchen knife. The red meat was turned up and a stream of blood splattered out.

The kitchen knife was so strong that it was stuck on the bone, but Zhou Shixiang, who was eager to take revenge, looked like a scholar. He gritted his teeth and lifted the kitchen knife again. Before Yuyunlong's scream sounded, the blade entered his neck again. This time, he really cut Yuyunlong's neck thoroughly. But with a "gurgle", Yujiang's head rolled to the ground with the top.

Everyone was stunned. Yunlong's headless corpse was covered with blood mist and stood firm.

"go!"

Zhou Shixiang succeeded in a blow, and without hesitation, he grabbed the knife on the waist of Yu Yunlong's corpse, and lifted his leg and kicked the headless body to the ground. Without waiting for Yu Yunlong's personal soldiers to react, he rushed to You Yunlong's pedal with lightning speed, jumped skillfully, clamped his legs, and pulled the saddle rope. The rider ran forward with a loud noise and ran away.

"The general is dead, the general is dead!"

"Scheme, there are spies!"

"Hurry, hurry, stop him!"

“……”

It was not until Zhou Shixiang rushed out dozens of feet away, Yu Yunlong's personal soldiers and the Qing soldiers at the city gate reacted, and they shouted in shock and shouted to chase Zhou Shixiang. However, Yu Yunlong's mount was a top Mongolian horse, and Zhou Shixiang's horsemanship was excellent again. When they chased him out, Zhou Shixiang had already disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

I will chase you all the way!

When the shock suddenly rose, Huang Zhizheng was still unaware of it. After Yuyunlong's head fell to the ground and Zhou Shixiang ran around, he came to his senses. He looked at Yuyunlong's head on the ground and was stunned, muttering to himself: "What should I do, what should I do!"

The county magistrate behind him was also frightened and his body was trembling, but he muttered: "Why is Samurai Zhou so brave, how is she so brave..."

The Book Office was so scared that he sat down on the ground, his teeth were trembling, and he could not speak. Looking at the people in front of the city gate, everyone was panicked, and the city gate was in a mess, making the Qing army stomp their feet in a hurry.
