Facing the morning glow, on the galloping road to Jizhou, a long team of horses was galloping, rolling up yellow sand all over the sky.
The people in the car were none other than Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongli, who were going to apply for release to Jizhou. At this time, his mind was still echoing what Yuan Feng said to him when he set out.
"As the legitimate son of my Yuan family, you should abide by the family motto when doing things outside. You must not act recklessly outside. You must act in a low-key manner. You must not do anything that crosses the line, especially you must not expand the military force without authorization."
"The Yuan family has four generations and three nobles. It is extremely illustrious. Countless pairs of eyes in the world are staring at us. If something happens to you, the governor will not protect you at least, or it will implicate my Yuan family. Remember, remember."
"Letting you go out of Jizhou is just to follow your temper. You will definitely return to Beijing in three years at most. The family will make its own arrangements then."
Linglong opened the curtain and looked at the rolling yellow sand outside, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Master, I really don't understand. Isn't Luoyang good? Why do you have to go somewhere to endure hardships? You don't know that the old lady is about to burst into tears.
"Linglong, you need to take a longer-term view. Although Luoyang is well-off and well-off, it won't be the same for a long time."
Stepping out of the carriage, the land was full of desolation. The Yellow Turban Rebellion had greatly damaged the vitality of the powerful Han Dynasty. Especially in Jizhou, the center of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all ten houses were empty.
Yuan Shu felt heartbroken when he saw this.
Acting in a low-key manner? Impossible. It’s too low-key. How can it be possible to recruit talents?
Not expanding the military? It’s even more impossible. In troubled times, why would he come to Jizhou if he doesn’t recruit troops?
It will take at most three years to return to Beijing? Let’s hold it back. Let’s wait and see if Luoyang can survive three years.
A fast horse appeared silently beside the carriage. Immediately behind it was a young general wearing dark armor.
"Master, it's windy here, you'd better go back to the carriage."
This man was tall and tall, at least 1.9 meters tall. A deformed weapon with two blades and three points hung diagonally on his horse.
"Yongyi, come and sit in the carriage. It's too bumpy on the horse."
Looking at the young and strong man in front of him, Yuan Shu was filled with joy. This man was none other than Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's number one general in history.
Ji Ling, whose courtesy name is Yongyi, was born in Langya, Shandong. He was very brave when he was young. When Taishan County was besieged by bandits, he single-handedly broke out of the siege, brought in reinforcements, and solved the siege of Taishan County. Later, he was captured by the Yuan family.
After taking a fancy to Yuan Shu, he was appointed as the captain of Changshan County and took office together.
"Thank you, Master. Ji Ling has long been used to the bumps on the horse's back. He would feel uncomfortable if he really wanted to ride in a car."
Ji Ling clenched his fist and saluted Yuan Shu on his horse.
"Okay, Yongyi, how long until we get to Changshan County?"
Ji Ling had nothing to say if he didn't appreciate Yuan Shu. He just wanted to get to Zhending as soon as possible. After rushing for several days, he felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
I really miss the days when I used to ride the high-speed rail. I saw the white emperor in the morning and the colorful clouds in the morning, and the thousands of miles to Jiangling were returned in one day.
"Master, judging from the current speed, we can reach Zhending in the afternoon."
Ji Ling looked into the distance, then clasped his fists again and rushed to Yuan Shu to answer.
"Then speed up. I want everyone to have a drink at Zhending at noon."
"Follow me~"
"Everything is available. Speed up and we must reach Zhending at noon."
Ji Ling did not question what Yuan Shu said. As a pure soldier, military orders are overwhelming and impossible to refute.
"Your Majesty~"
"Come on, Master, please have a drink."
"Haha, I want to drink three hundred cups."
Following Yuan Shu's order, the entire team suddenly accelerated, and the flying sand brought up by the rush was like a wild dragon rushing towards the direction of Zhending.
Under the scorching sun, Yuan Shu finally saw the boundary monument of Zhending County.
"Whoever is in front of you, stop, otherwise shoot and kill without mercy~"
A horseman, Langyan, rushed from a distance. The knight at the front of the team took off the crossbow on his waist and aimed at the knight.
"I am asking for help from the Zhending Mansion. The Zhending Mansion is besieged by thieves and is in danger. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will be killed without mercy~"
The sergeant roared like a tiger, and the horse continued to charge towards Yuan Shu without slowing down.
"Yuan Fang, go and inform the young master and General Ji Ling immediately, and tell them that something has definitely changed. The rest of them will collect their crossbows and capture this man alive~"
The cavalry captain Yuan Ding frowned when he heard the sergeant's words. Zhending Mansion was surrounded, so it was okay.
"No~"
One of the cavalrymen turned around and galloped back, while the remaining nine cavalrymen, led by Yuan Ding, formed a half-moon formation and surrounded the sergeant.
"Get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame someone for being ruthless~"
When the sergeant saw Yuan Ding's group surrounding them, his eyes turned red, and then he suddenly accelerated and rushed toward them.
"Get down here~"
The horses of both parties were very fast, and within a short time they were within three feet. Yuan Ding gently licked his lower lips, pointed the blade of the Huanshou knife in his hand downwards, and slapped the sergeant fiercely.
"Go away~"
Unexpectedly, the sergeant's eyes widened, he suddenly pulled out the Huanshou sword from his waist, and struck Yuan Ding on the back of the sword with one strike.
"Dang~"
There was a crisp sound, and Yuan Ding felt as if he had been hit by a bison. His entire arm instantly lost consciousness, the tiger's mouth burst open, and the ring-shou knife in his hand flew out neatly.
"Form up a formation and stop him~"
Knowing that he was no match, Yuan Ding quickly shouted to his teammates.
Without Yuan Ding's shouting, the rest of the cavalry had already formed a formation of their own accord. In groups of three, they charged towards the sergeant from three directions.
The three cavalrymen in front each drew their swords, and the blades of the three ring-headed knives were slashed upward towards the man. However, the sergeant was not afraid at all. He made a horizontal slash with the ring-headed knife and directly fought with them.
"Dang~"
There was another crisp sound, and the three cavalrymen felt a strong force coming from them, and they were thrown directly off their horses. The ring-headed sword in their hands had long since disappeared.
"Kill~"
As soon as the three cavalrymen were knocked away, the remaining six cavalrymen rushed over and struck him with six sabers in no particular order.
"Fight~"
There was a fighting spirit in the eyes of the sergeant, and the ring-headed sword was sheathed. Then a cold light flashed out, and the six ring-headed swords were broken in response, and the six cavalry were knocked away with violent force.
The sergeant holds a broad-edged long sword, and his bloody battle horse, coupled with broken armor made of blood, makes him look like a demon god from hell, mysterious and inviolable.
"There are changes ahead~ There are changes ahead~"
Yuan Fang shouted loudly while riding his horse wildly.
"Quick report~"
Ji Ling had a clever idea and rode up to Yuan Fang, shouting at him.
"General, we encountered a messenger who rushed out from Zhending Mansion thirty miles ahead to ask for help. According to him, Zhending Mansion is now besieged by a large group of thieves and is in danger."
The scout was very professional and told the situation directly without any nonsense.
"Yuan Qi, hurry up and inform the young master, Yuan Lu, Yuan Bing, and Yuan Zhi, please order your own troops and horses to follow me, and Yuan Fang will lead the way."
"Here~"
Following Ji Ling's order, three cavalry teams led one hundred and fifty cavalry, followed Ji Ling, swept up the wind and sand, and rushed into the distance.
"Young Master, something bad is going on. News comes from the front. Zhending Mansion is besieged by thieves and is in danger."
Hearing that someone dared to besiege his territory, Yuan Shu was clever and almost didn't explode.
He dares to cause trouble before his great career has even begun. His uncle can't bear it, and his aunt can't bear it either.
"Where is Ji Ling~"
"Reporting to my lord, General Ji Ling has gone to see the envoy to ask for reinforcements."
"Tell the team to speed up and keep up with Ji Ling."
"Your Majesty~"
As soon as Yuan Shu's order came out, the entire team immediately became different, and everyone accelerated and rushed forward.
The car drove for a while, and Yuan Shu's ears were filled with the rapid sound of swords clashing and the cheers of soldiers.
The carriage stopped, Yuan Shu opened the curtain and came to the side of the carriage.
More than a hundred cavalry were seen forming a huge ring, and in the ring Ji Ling was fighting with someone.
The man was tall and tall, slightly taller than Ji Ling who was sitting on the horse with him. His armor was in tatters and covered in blood. His face, hands, and even his mount were stained with blood, which showed his experience.
What kind of bloody battle.
The three-pointed, two-edged sword struck the sergeant's face like light and electricity. The sergeant moved the sword like the wind and slashed Ji Ling's weapon open with a sharp slash. Then he slashed Ji Ling's weapon with another slash.
Chest.
"Dang~"
The three-pointed two-edged sword comes first and the tip of the blade is like a noose to lock the long sword, and then twist it hard to make the enemy's long sword fly away.
The long sword was locked and Ji Ling exerted his strength. The sergeant frowned. The enemy was trying to fight with him.
Normally, he wouldn't care at all about his fighting power, and he didn't think he would lose, but it was different now.
He had just escaped from the siege of Zhending, and his strength had already been depleted. Now he was fighting against Ji Ling, who was just waiting for work. He was just asking for trouble.
"If you want it, I'll give it to you~"
A flash of light flashed in the sergeant's eyes, and the long knife suddenly let go. Ji Ling was caught off guard and almost lost his hand. As soon as he recovered, he saw the sergeant falling from the sky and hitting him like an eagle pounced on food.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
With two thunders, Ji Ling and the sergeant fell off their horses together, then they each stood up, clenched their fists, and fought together again.
Seeing that the sergeant was able to fight Ji Ling so well, Yuan Shu directly activated the Sky Eye Technique.
Under the Sky Eye Technique, everything became different. The smoke column representing Ji Ling was extremely blue, with a hint of purple mixed in with the blue. However, the person fighting Ji Ling was the complete opposite, with purple filling the world.
"Who is this? Even stronger than Ji Ling? Changshan County? Is this the God of War Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong?"
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu quickly shouted loudly.
"Ji Ling stop~"
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Ji Ling didn't hesitate at all. He directly punched the sergeant on the opposite side, and then used the force of the recoil to retreat in front of Yuan Shu.
"Master, Ji Ling is incompetent, please punish him~"
Glancing at the sergeant who was staying where he was, Ji Ling's eyes were full of fear.
"I am Yuan Shu, Yuan Gongdao, the new governor of Changshan. Who are you? Why don't you tell me your name?"
"Yuan Shu, Yuan Gongdao, the prefect of Changshan."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, the sergeant was stunned for a moment, and then felt overjoyed. He knelt down on one knee and performed the subordinate's ceremony.
"Yan Liang, a humble official, is here to meet the Grand Administrator~ We are really in danger, so please help me quickly~"
