The sound of drum beating came at a bad time. Everyone in the yamen was discussing the important matter of dealing with bandits. How could they have time to deal with other cases now?
The county magistrate frowned, waved his hand, and ordered the government officials to go out and send the drummer away.
Zhao Zheng originally didn't want others to disturb him, but then he thought about it, maybe the person coming was just because of the bandits, rather than trivial matters. Just in case, he proposed to bring in the drummer first.
, just ask about the situation briefly.
After revealing his identity, Zhao Zheng still spoke with great weight. The county magistrate obviously gave Zhao Zheng a lot of respect and nodded. He immediately changed his mind and instead ordered the government officials to bring the person who beat the drum to complain about the injustice to the court.
The yamen officer took the order and left, and soon he led three people into the court. The three men were two men and one woman. The two men were not very good-looking, and their facial features were very flawed. As for the only woman, she was quite good-looking.
He is Shuiling, with a handsome melon-seed face, a pair of big watery eyes, and a fair complexion that looks like it can drip water.
Everyone was a little moved when they saw this woman, even Zhao Zheng was no exception.
Others were moved only because of the woman's beauty. Such beautiful women are rare in this borderland. However, Zhao Zheng was not moved because of the woman's beauty. At any rate, he was also moved by this beauty in the world.
He had seen a few of them, and had developed a certain immunity, so he would not make such a fuss. The reason why he was moved was because he recognized the identity of this woman.
This woman is no one else, she is Liuye Feidao, Lu Xingyue, the wife of the leader of Yuezhao Mountain Village!
This Lu Xingyue is no ordinary person. She has been taught by famous people and taught by experts. She is the best at shooting willow leaves and flying knives, so she got such a nickname. This seemingly soft and delicate body has the cultivation of the seventh heaven.
, absolutely cannot be underestimated.
"Why did this woman come here? She is Zou Tianjin's wife, and she is a thief. If a thief came to the government specifically, she must have done nothing good." Such thoughts flashed through Zhao Zheng's heart, and he secretly increased his vigilance.
His eyes became a little sharper.
Lu Xingyue walked into the courtroom with a graceful look. She glanced around and saw clearly the situation in the courtroom. Her eyes glanced twice at the two bandits kneeling on the ground, and then at Zhao Zheng.
He glanced twice at his body, but there was no unnecessary expression on his face.
Since the two bandits were kneeling on the ground and unable to turn around, they could not clearly see what Lu Xingyue and others looked like, so they did not say much. If they had seen Lu Xingyue come in with their own eyes, they would not have reacted without any reaction.
"Who is here, and why are you beating drums to complain?" The county magistrate put on his official airs again, slapped the gavel heavily, and asked.
"Sir, you have to make the decision for the people's girls!" Lu Xingyue yelled in a sharp voice, stretched out her jade-like fingers and pointed at the two strong men who came with her, "The people's girls have opened a license in the county.
In a steamed stuffed bun shop, these two people not only didn’t give me money after eating steamed stuffed buns, but they also beat my man. Isn’t this the right thing to do?”
Upon hearing that it was such a trivial matter, the county magistrate showed an impatient look, waved his hands and said: "I am currently discussing the major matter of dealing with Yuezhao Mountain. I have no time to deal with such a small case. You should leave quickly and mediate on your own.
"
"Sir, how can this be said to be a minor case? Not only did they beat my man, they also cut me with a knife. The injuries were serious." Lu Xingyue said pitifully.
A fight and an injury with a knife were obviously not on the same level. The county magistrate regained his serious look and glanced around Lu Xingyue's body, looking for the so-called knife wound, but could not find it. He said doubtfully: "Then
Where is the stab wound?"
"Sir, it's right here, take a good look." Lu Xingyue's watery eyes flashed with a cunning and fierce look, she bent down slightly, reached out and opened her clothes, revealing two plump curves.
The county magistrate never expected that Lu Xingyue would make such a sudden move, and the ravine was so alluring that he was stunned for a moment.
Although this light is beautiful, it is a beautiful trap. Under the ravine, there is a delicate dart bag, which contains several shining willow leaf flying knives!
Without seeing Lu Xingyue's movements, a cold light immediately shot out from the dart bag and went straight to the county magistrate's eyebrows. If this attack was real, the county magistrate would have to be hit completely.
However, just when the Liu Ye Flying Knife had just flown halfway, two fingers suddenly stretched out out of thin air and clamped hard on the Liu Ye Flying Knife. They actually clamped the powerful Liu Ye Flying Knife!
The person who took action was naturally Zhao Zheng. He had been secretly wary of Lu Xingyue and others. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately took action and caught the Liuye flying knife.
It is indeed not that easy to catch the darts of the Seventh Heavenly Warrior. Even though Zhao Zheng had an absolute advantage in strength, he still suffered a slight injury. His fingers were slightly cut and a few drops of blood spilled out, but it was not serious.
"The Willow Leaf Flying Knife is well-deserved." Zhao Zheng flipped his finger and flicked it, and the Willow Leaf Flying Knife stained with blood beads flew out with a sound and penetrated into the stone slab at Lu Xingyue's feet, disappearing completely, leaving a small black hole.
Lu Xingyue changed color slightly, took a step back and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to ruin my affairs?"
"It seems that you did not eavesdrop on the conversation in the Yamen before entering. Otherwise, you should know who I am." Zhao Zheng said lightly.
"Haha, I did not eavesdrop on the conversation here. It seems that I made a mistake. I thought that there were still the same number of people in this yamen as before, and there was nothing to be afraid of. But I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin like you would come out halfway.
"Lu Xingyue sneered. She brought two capable men here this time, and her plan was to assassinate the county magistrate, which in turn made the local area even more chaotic. The abacus was good, but she didn't expect that the calculation was wrong.
It’s time for Zhao Zheng to come up with such a hard idea.
"Since you didn't hear that conversation, I will say it again. My name is Zhao Zheng, and I am a member of the Taishan sect. As for why I took action, there is no need to say more. You, Yuezhao Mountain, have been here for a long time.
You are unjust and killing people everywhere. The people in this yamen are the biggest force that can resist you at present. Naturally, I can't watch you kill the county magistrate here." Zhao Zheng still said in a calm tone.
However, there was obvious hostility in his words.
All this happened very quickly, and it was not until this moment that the county magistrate came to his senses and vaguely understood something. He was so frightened that his face was covered in cold sweat, as if he had lost his soul.
The head catcher was a warrior, so he naturally saw Lu Xingyue's evil intentions. He widened his eyes and shouted at the brothers to attack the enemy. The government officials in the court drew their weapons and surrounded Lu Xingyue and the three of them.
Live, as if facing a formidable enemy.
As for the two bandits who had been captured by Zhao Zheng before, they also recognized the identity of Mrs. Yazhai at this time, and they were all happy, even happier than meeting their own mother.
Zhao Zheng disliked the noise of the two bandits, so he waved his hand and sealed the acupuncture points of the two bandits. The two men fell down unconscious.
Catching the willow flying knife with his bare hands, and casually tapping the acupuncture points of the two bandits, each of these two skills was more beautiful than the other. A few simple movements showed Zhao Zheng's extremely good skills.
Lu Xingyue's expression changed again, becoming more solemn, her pretty face was full of evil spirits, and she said angrily: "Your Excellency is so handsome, and with you here to take charge, it seems that we can't get any benefits today.
Brothers, the wind is blowing!"
"Now that you're here, don't leave. Keeping you here will help Yuezhao Mountain to restrain itself." Naturally, Zhao Zheng couldn't let Lu Xingyue leave simply. He pulled out the Zichu Sword and attacked with his toes.
He went up and used the Canglong Sword Technique. The sword condensed into the shape of a dragon's head, and there was a faint whistling sound. The combined strength of Lu Xingyue and the three of them could not be his opponent as an eighth-level warrior, so he did not make a fuss and put the rest of the sword together.
The sword was released, but only one sword was used to fight the enemy.
Just this sword caused Lu Xingyue and the others to suffer a lot. The dragon-shaped sword energy was fast and cruel. In a flash, it circled around the vital points of the three of them, frightening the three of them.
Quickly retreat. Among these three people, Lu Xingyue's kung fu is the best and has reached the seventh heaven realm, while the other two have no such ability and only have the sixth heaven realm. These two subordinates
Unable to dodge, they all suffered minor injuries to varying degrees, and their clothes were all cut.
Zhao Zheng was determined to fight quickly and launched a continuous offensive. After forcing the three people back, he immediately used the second move "Blue Dragon Descends to Earth". The sword force poured down from top to bottom like raindrops. At the same time,
shrouded the heads of Lu Xingyue and the others. He used one person to deal with the three of them, but still had the upper hand, forcing the three of them into a dangerous situation. Lu Xingyue and the other three evaded in a hurry, retreating in different directions, but the martial arts
The two unfortunate people were injured again and became even more embarrassed.
"Everyone, get back quickly to avoid being hurt by the sword energy! Close the door against the door, don't let these assassins escape!" The catcher had some eyesight and saw that this fight was not something that ordinary warriors could get involved in.
Yes, if you get too close you will be sucked in, so I immediately warned you loudly.
The government officials dispersed suddenly, and several people ran towards the door like flying feet.
While the government officials were taking action, Zhao Zheng had already launched more moves, performing a set of Canglong Sword Techniques with great fluency, forcing Lu Xingyue and the others to only parry but not fight back. When he reached the sixth level of his technique
While making the move, he finally forced one of them into a corner with nowhere to escape. He took the opportunity to point out, mixed the sword move with Xiu Li Qian Kun's Kung Fu, and knocked the person unconscious with one finger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Xingyue and Lu Xingyue didn't dare to stay any longer. They rushed in different directions, both trying to escape. The weak man fled to the yamen gate, while Lu Xingyue fled to the window.
"Abao, I'll leave the one at the door to you." Zhao Zhengqing shouted, leaving the bandit who had just been knocked unconscious, and chased after Lu Xingyue who rushed towards the window.
Abao knew people's surnames, could understand most people's speech, and understood what Zhao Zheng meant. He immediately took action and rushed towards the bandit who was running toward the door. When he was halfway to the door, he jumped away.
It got up, rolled in mid-air, and scratched the bandit's back with both claws. It didn't have the combat experience of Zhao Zheng, so it didn't strike lightly or hard, so it used 100% of the force with its claws.
There was a "stab" sound, and the bandit was caught by A Bao. His clothes were torn, and his skin was torn. He screamed and fell to the ground.
Abao was not polite and sat directly on the bandit's back, scratching and biting him, showing his animal side, which shocked the surrounding government officials.
At the same time, Zhao Zheng had also caught up with Lu Xingyue, and the distance between them was only three steps.
Lu Xingyue felt the evil wind behind her, and suddenly twisted her flexible waist, flicked her wrist, and shot out three willow leaf flying knives. The strength used in this hand was quite extraordinary, and each flying knife was wrapped with a layer of internal force.
Light has the power to penetrate the clouds and break the sky.
The three willow-leaf flying knives flew in front of Zhao Zheng in the blink of an eye. He swung his sword at the critical moment, shooting out a lifelike dragon-shaped sword energy. The dragon's mouth suddenly opened, and he actually held the three willow-leaf flying knives alive.
He put it in his mouth, and then bit it hard, biting it into pieces.
"Oops..." Seeing this scene, Lu Xingyue's heart suddenly sank. People's thoughts are always faster than actions. She knew that something was wrong, but she was too prepared to resist again.
Zhao Zhengqi controlled the dragon-shaped sword energy to rotate in a circle, and punched the space in the center. He punched Lu Xingyue on the back, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground. He followed closely.
After that, he also fell down, stretched out his fingers, and sealed several major acupuncture points on Lu Xingyue's body, and used quite strong internal strength. Even if this woman had a seventh-level cultivation, she could not resist the power of this acupoint technique.
Lu Xingyue's eyes darkened and she fainted.
All of this sounds slow, but in fact it only happened in the blink of an eye, and it didn't take long to put it all together.
Zhao Zheng glanced at Lu Xingyue who was lying on the ground, returned the sword to its sheath, and patted the non-existent dust on his hand.
"Come on, come on! Bind these three bold assassins quickly!" The county magistrate blinked, and after recovering from his shock, he pointed at Lu Xingyue and the others and shouted loudly.
The government officials responded with a bang, and one by one they rushed to Lu Xingyue and the others like tigers and wolves, took off the ropes that had been hanging around their waists all year round, and tied them up tightly. Among these people, Abao was definitely caught
The man was the most unlucky, his back was scratched with blood, and seven or eight of his nine lives were lost.
"Sir, I recognize this woman's appearance. She is Lu Xingyue, the wife of the stronghold leader of Yuezhao Mountain. This time she came to assassinate you, she must have been ordered by the stronghold leader Zou Tianjin." Zhao Zheng pointed at Lu Xingyue.
"Fortunately, Young Master Zhao is here today, otherwise, I am afraid that things will be much worse for me." The county magistrate said with lingering fear.
"It seems that Yuezhaoshan is determined to go against the Great Yan Kingdom. For the sake of caution, sir, you'd better be careful with your foul mouth and bring more people around. As for Lu Xingyue and the others, they need to be strictly monitored.
, remember not to take it lightly. Lu Xingyue is Zou Tianjin’s wife, we caught her, it should have a big effect."
The county magistrate couldn't help but nod, deeply agreeing with Zhao Zheng's words, and then asked: "In Young Master Zhao's opinion, what should we do with this Lu Xingyue?"
Zhao Zheng thought for a while and replied: "The most important thing right now is to prevent Yuezhao Mountain from launching an offensive against other villages and counties. We can use Lu Xingyue and others as a threat to make Zou Tianjin throw a rat weapon and agree with him on a time to let him here
Stay safe for a while and don't act recklessly. During this period, we can move troops around to ask for help. My lord, you can move troops to the court and bring an army over. I will also write a letter and send it to the Taishan sect to invite the divisions within the sect.
Uncle, the elders are here to help. When the time comes, when the government and the people cooperate, we will be able to defeat Yuezhao Mountain in one fell swoop."
"This plan is very clever. Let's do it as Zhao Shaoxia said." The county magistrate agreed.
"This is not really a plan, it's just following the trend. I proposed this matter, and I should handle it personally. My lord, please keep an eye on the bandits like Oshiro Xingyue. I will go out and confront the bandits on Yuezhao Mountain.
Let's negotiate." Zhao Zhengren refused to give in.
Then, he put forward some precautions for guarding Lu Xingyue. After all, the Seventh Heavenly Warrior was not low in strength, but it was not easy to guard him. He might escape if he was not careful. In addition, he once again told the county magistrate to send someone to inform him.
Those villages that had not yet been attacked were evacuated and their villagers were brought to the county. The county magistrate nodded frequently and agreed one by one.
With the explanation in place, it's time to leave for Yuezhao Mountain.
Zhao Zheng knew the situation in Yuezhao Mountain very well, so he didn't expect to ask anything from Lu Xingyue. He could just skip the interrogation step and save some time.
Before leaving, Zhao Zheng glanced at the bandit who was injured by Abao. The bandit was seriously injured and was screaming.
"It's your first visit. It's better not to go empty-handed. It's better to bring a small gift." Zhao Zheng said in a cold tone, walking towards the screaming bandit step by step. He raised his sword and put it down under the gaze of everyone.
The bandit's head was cut off.
This was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that Zhao Zheng would do something like this.
Zhao Zheng looked as usual, tore off the deceased's clothes, used them as a cloth bag, and wrapped his head in it.
It is rare to see someone using a human head as a gift.
The reason why Zhao Zheng went against his normal behavior and became so ruthless was just to treat others with his own way. There is no need to show kindness to a woman when dealing with a crazed bandit like Yuezhaoshan. This is a war between the two countries.
There is no difference. To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself.
Having such a gift of a human head can, firstly, prove that Lu Xingyue is indeed in his possession. Secondly, it can also act as a deterrent to Yuezhao Mountain and dampen Yuezhao Mountain's spirit. Otherwise, this group of bandits will cause trouble.
After witnessing the previous fight, everyone naturally did not dare to object to Zhao Zheng's move, but they were really surprised. Only then did everyone realize that this seemingly amiable young man actually had such a ruthless and cruel side.
.
"A Bao, let's go." Zhao Zheng ordered, holding the bloody bag in his hand, he and A Bao walked out of the yamen gate side by side, leaving the complicated looks of everyone behind.
