Seeing how effortlessly Zuo Aoran was carrying the hammers, Zhao Sheng was secretly stunned. Zhao Sheng had tried Zuo Aoran's gold-edited Tilu spear, but he couldn't lift it at all, so he found someone to lift it.
The two of them worked together to lift it up. Unexpectedly, Zuo Aoran looked like
He looked like a frail scholar, but he was as light as weight with such a huge hammer. They were originally worried about meeting bandits, but now they really hope to meet bandits so that they can see the first marshal of the Han Dynasty.
martial arts.
In early June, in the early morning in the north, there was a light mist. Since they were not in a hurry, the four of them walked very slowly, mainly because Zuo Aoran had not adapted yet. The surrounding environment was so good, the air was so fresh, nature was so beautiful.
Okay! After walking all the way and admiring the scenery, the speed of the four of them began to increase.
The mist gradually dissipated. Today's weather is very good. There is almost a plain between Zhending and Wuji. There are only a lot of trees, many big trees, which Zuo Aoran has never seen before. They are blue.
The sky is like a huge sapphire. Except for the farmland where crops are grown, there are green spaces almost everywhere. Not to mention the air quality. It is estimated that according to the current level, it is all above the first level.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, thinking about the turmoil in the north a few years later and the collapse of the world, Zuo Aoran couldn't help but feel heavy. Now, he had accepted the fact that he came to the Three Kingdoms, and he kept thinking in his heart, since the old man
God sent me here, so I must do my best to change the trajectory of history. If I can travel to the Han Dynasty, it means that nothing is impossible.
Zuo Aoran now has the capital to conquer the world, at least in terms of army and territory. As long as he grasps it well, he believes that with his own efforts, the Han Dynasty will become the most powerful country in the world at that time.
There was a large dense forest in front of them. Walking on the road in the forest, the four of them increased their vigilance and slowed down their pace. In order to prevent bandits from launching cold arrows, Zuo Aoran walked in front. He Yi, He
Man was on the left and right, and Zhao Sheng was at the end.
Since he often goes to Wuji to buy goods, Zhao Sheng is very familiar with this road. It can be said that he can find Wuji Zhen's house with his eyes closed. After passing this forest, there is less than ten miles left from Wuji County.
When they were approaching the edge of the woods, they suddenly discovered that there were several people lying on the ground, as well as some scattered weapons. Zuo Aoran hurriedly jumped off his horse and ran up to those people. He Yi, He Man, and Zhao Sheng also followed.
I came over and checked carefully, and found that all these people had died.
He Yi said to Zuo Aoran: "Looking at the situation in front of me, the bandits should have set up an ambush here, but they probably didn't succeed. The robbed merchants have already escaped. Lord, should we catch up and have a look?"
If Zhao Sheng had encountered such a thing in the past, he would have run away long ago, but today with his master Zuo Aoran here, they all have a backbone, and they are tough to talk to. They actually want to chase the robber with Zuo Aoran.
.
Zuo Aoran thought to himself: "Okay! We have fought against each other some days. Now this is a good opportunity for me to stretch my muscles, otherwise I will be in trouble." Thinking of this, three more people said: "Even if we meet, of course we will.
Help comes
After leaving the woods, dead people kept falling on the ground along the way. It looked like there were thieves and ordinary people. Not far ahead, there were fifty or sixty thieves wearing leather armor and holding spears and knives, surrounding a group of people.
Attack, with a carriage in the middle.
Outside the encirclement, there is a bandit leader on horseback. He is holding a big knife in his hand, which looks like he has some weight. He is directing the bandits to attack in the middle. There are more than a dozen servants around the carriage who are desperately defending, but all they have are
Compared with the bandits with long weapons, long swords and waist knives were obviously at a disadvantage. Coupled with the numerical disadvantage, it was estimated that if they persisted for a while, the entire army would be annihilated.
Seeing Zuo Aoran and four others riding over, the leader of the horse-riding thief immediately directed a dozen bandits to come forward. Looking at the dozen bandits running over, Zuo Aoran couldn't help but get excited. He clamped his legs between his hips and dismounted, waving.
He rushed forward with his own hammers.
Seeing that although the robbers were wearing leather armor, their clothes were in tatters. It seemed that they were all robbers because they were poor and desperate, so Zuo Aoran didn't take any heavy blows and used all his strength.
With a flick of his hand, he slashed a robber's sword at him and flew away. Without stopping, the two hammers directly hit the robber's shoulders, knocking him to the ground. He rode forward and saw the sword in Zuo Aoran's hand.
The two hammers smashed, dragged, hung, smashed, framed, clouded, covered, beat, and rushed all the dozen thieves to the ground in a blink of an eye. It was Zuo Aoran's mercy that allowed them to save their lives.
Seeing his men lying on the ground and groaning, the bandit leader was furious. He rode his horse and came to Zuo Aoran with his sword. He raised the big knife in his hand and slashed it at Zuo Aoran's forehead. Waiting for the big knife to leave.
When the distance above his head was less than a foot, Zuo Aoran swung the hammers in his hands upwards.
"Hey!"
There was a loud noise, and Zuo Aoran's hammers collided with the thief's sword. The thief's sword seemed to be quite strong and was not broken by the shock. However, the sword bounced up high and was thrown behind the thief.
The thief's head tightly grasped the handle of the knife, so that the big knife did not fly out. However, the thief's mouth was completely split, and blood dyed the knife shaft red and flowed down.
When the thief came to his senses, Zuo Aoran's sledgehammer had already arrived and hit the thief's waist horizontally, knocking the thief off his horse. As soon as the thief got up, Zuo Aoran's left hand hammer
Already pressing on the head of the thief, Zuo Aoran shouted: "Kneel down!"
The thief leader refused to kneel, but as Zuo Aoran continued to increase his strength, the thief leader's face turned red, and finally he could no longer hold on, and he knelt down in front of Zuo Aoran's horse with a "plop".
When the bandits who attacked the merchants saw that their leader was knocked down by Zuo Aoran in one round, they all abandoned their opponents and surrounded Zuo Aoran.
"Let our leader go, or I'll be rude to you!" the bandits shouted.
Zuo Aoran snorted and shouted: "Put down the weapons in your hands and surrender immediately, or I will kill your leader first."
This group of bandits seemed quite loyal, and they all shouted: "Spare our leader! Spare our leader! We surrender, we surrender!" Then they all put down their weapons and knelt down to the bandit leader.
behind.
Zuo Aoran put away the sledgehammer that was pressing on the head of the thief, and said to the thief: "Where are you from? Why are you gathering here to rob? Do you think you have any righteousness?"
The leader of the thieves replied: "I am from Changshan Zhending. My surname is Zhang and my given name is Qiye. I originally made a living by farming. However, in recent years, the county government's taxes have increased year by year. We simply cannot afford to pay them. As a result, we were caught by the government officials and taken to the county."
We were beaten severely by the government and had to pay the taxes within a time limit. We were forced to have no choice but to come here with some common people who shared our fate and became kings of the mountain. We made a living by robbing passing merchants and large households outside the city.
But it has never harassed ordinary people."
Zhang Qiye!? I’ve never heard of it, but he can withstand one third of my strength without knocking off his weapon, which is considered a talent! Thinking of this, Zuo Aoran jumped off the horse, helped Zhang Qiye up with both hands, and said
"Brother Zhang Qiye, please rise. I know that you were forced to do this unjust act. But I see that brother Zhang Qiye is very skilled. After you were arrested, none of your brothers tried to escape.
We live and die together with brother Zhang Qiye, which shows that brother Zhang Qiye is good at running the army and has affection and righteousness for his brothers. I am the governor of Zhuo County, the captain of Wuhuan School, and the meritorious Marquis Zuo Aoran. I want to give Zhang Qiye
Brother Ye and all the brothers have pointed out a clear path, I wonder if Brother Zhang Qi and all the brothers are willing to listen to it?"
Zhang Qiye said: "My life is yours. If you don't kill me now, then I will be yours from now on. From now on, you will be our lord. We will do whatever you say. If we regret it, there will be thunder and thunder from the sky."
!”
"If you regret it, the sky will thunder!" Dozens of thieves behind Zhang Qiye shouted in unison.
Zhang Qiye, who had just been helped up by Zuo Aoran, led the people behind him and knelt down in front of Zuo Aoran again, kowtowing and said: "Please accept us, lord. We are willing to ride in front of and behind the lord, risking our lives and doing the work of dogs and horses."
"
Zuo Aoran felt so beautiful! He really wanted to conquer this group of people, as another small force of his own. Unexpectedly, he achieved his goal so quickly, and he also accepted a general. It seems that he will be able to regain his post after becoming an official.
It's easy to do things. These bandits all want to give themselves a good background. If not forced by the situation, who would be willing to become a bandit and occupy the mountain to become the king!
Zuo Aoran can naturally do things to win people's hearts, so Zuo Aoran also knelt on the ground and swore: "Since brothers are willing to follow me, then I will be kind to all brothers. We will share the blessings and share the hardships."
, If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
Seeing Zuo Aoran actually kneeling down in front of everyone, Zhang Qiye and the bandits were moved to tears. You must know that there was a difference between superiority and inferiority at that time. They surrendered to Zuo Aoran, and they were Zuo Aoran's subordinates. What did the master say?
You have to do something, and this lord actually has no airs at all, and even vowed to treat them well, how can they not wholeheartedly work for Zuo Aoran!?
At this time, Zuo Aoran remembered the brothers Zhao Sheng, He Yi, and He Man. He hurriedly got up to search, but saw Zhao Sheng in front of the carriage, talking to the people in the carriage. It seemed that he had met an acquaintance, and He Yi,
The two brothers He Man were enjoying the shade under a big tree nearby.
Zuo Aoran said: "Brothers, please stay here for a moment. I'm going to see my brother. He seems to know the person you robbed."
Zhang Qiye said hurriedly: "My lord, I heard that the servants just now claimed to be from the Wuji Zhen family, and the person sitting in the car seems to be the eldest lady of their family."
Eldest lady? Isn't that the goal of her trip - Zhen Jiang!? Thinking of this, Zuo Aoran said to Zhang Qiye: "Brother Zhang Qiye, please take everyone to clean up the battlefield first. I will come back to discuss with you later.
What’s next?”
Zhang Qiye hurriedly said: "My lord, stop calling me brother, just call me by my name. It's just that my parents died early, so I still only have a name but no words."
"This is easy to handle. You take everyone to rest first. If you don't mind, how about I give you a name later?" Zuo Aoran said with a smile.
"That's great, thank you so much, lord." Zhang Qiye led everyone to the side to clean up the battlefield.
Seeing Zuo Aoran coming, Zhao Sheng hurriedly said to Zuo Aoran: "My boss! Do you know who you are saving today?" In front of outsiders, Zhao Sheng always calls Zuo Aoran his boss.
Only then can he be called the Lord.
Of course Zuo Aoran knew, but seeing Zhao Sheng's happy expression, Zuo Aoran couldn't displease him. He shook his head, pretended not to know, and said, "I don't know!"
"My lord, let me introduce to you. This is the eldest lady of the Wuji Zhen family, Miss Zhen Jiangzhen. Miss Zhen, this is my boss, the governor of Zhuojun, the captain of Huwuhuan, the Marquis of Jiangong Zuo Aoran Zuo
