An officer and soldier from the county guard's office came in, lowered his head and clasped his fists and said: "Sir, Mr. Song, the head of the Six Gates, and Ling Feng, the deputy leader of the Qingjiao Gang, want to see you."
Zhou Yulang still looked through the copy with a calm expression and said: "Ask them to wait in the back hall."
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, Zhou Yulang came to the back hall.
At this time, Ling Feng and Song Tianhao were drinking tea. When they saw him coming, they both stood up to greet him.
Zhou Yulang smiled and said: "You two, please take a seat!"
The two sat down and felt relieved. Judging from the situation, Zhou Yulang should not be from the Netherworld Palace, otherwise he should have taken people away long ago.
Song Tianhao got straight to the point and said, "The governor must have known about Liu Feng's affairs. What are his plans?"
Zhou Yulang smiled lightly and said: "I have reported this matter to the Governor, and someone will naturally handle it."
"Mr. Zhou is indeed worthy of being a county governor. He is really a role model for us in handling life and death situations calmly! I'm afraid your letter won't be delivered to the Governor's Mansion! Even if it is delivered, the Governor's Mansion will investigate and verify it first, and then report it to the court. The Ministry of War will issue
Only after obtaining approval can we send out troops. There are many procedures involved, and the efficiency of court officials has always been extremely low. I'm afraid it will have to be delayed for ten days and a half. By the time the Governor's Mansion sends out troops, I'm afraid Qinghe County has already fallen into Liu Feng's hands. Even if you are lucky,
If you escape, but if you lose the county and the city, kill and injure the common people and nobles, all the blame will fall on you, the local official. I don’t need to tell you what the outcome will be!"
Ling Feng smiled and said. He knew that Zhou Yulang was a strong man. If he really wanted to cooperate, he had to point out his exact situation and dampen his spirit, otherwise he would have to manipulate his identity.
Zhou Yulang knew the officialdom more thoroughly than Ling Feng, so he naturally knew that the truth was indeed the case, but his face was a little confused, and he said angrily: "You are looking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of crimson Qi quickly penetrated the body, filling the room with red light. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply and rose, like a furnace in the center of the earth. This is the Zhou family's internal skill "Red Lian**", a martial arts level skill.
The red refining zhenqi produced is extremely hot and can smelt all things!
Ling Feng felt that his body was getting hot, and the Bitao Qi in his dantian suddenly turned into a cool breath and circulated around his body, and his body temperature dropped rapidly.
However, his strongest combat power lies in his physical body and sword spirit. His Qi is too far behind Zhou Yulang's and he won't be able to sustain it for long unless he takes action!
Song Tianhao also knew this, and quickly used the inner strength and mental method of "The True Solution to the Yanyang" to quickly absorb the hot breath in the room. Like a black hole, all the heat quickly sank into his body and was transformed into the true energy of the Yanyang. This flame
Yang Zhenjie is also a Wuzong-level skill inherited by the Song family, and it is even higher than the level of Chi Lian**. It can be practiced to the peak of Wuzong and has a chance to break through King Wu's skills. In terms of masculinity and domineering, it is also
Better than Chi Lian**!
When Zhou Yulang saw Song Tianhao taking action, his whole body glowed red and he quickly restrained himself. He just wanted to teach Ling Feng a lesson, and was not prepared to fight with the two of them in such a dangerous environment. Moreover, although the combat power of the two of them was lower than his, if
If they join forces, the only one who will suffer is himself.
At this time, Song Tianhao said: "Master Sheriff, at this critical juncture, we are all standing in the same boat. If you have time to quarrel, why not think about how to deal with it!"
Zhou Yulang's expression improved slightly and he nodded: "What do you think, Mr. Song?"
Song Tianhao said: "Prepare for war! Now, Liu Feng must be integrating his military strength, and it will take some time to form combat strength. If we can unite all the forces in the county and city into one, even if Liu Feng invades, we can repel him
!If we can defeat the rebels and even capture and kill Liu Feng, then we will not only have no fault, but also meritorious deeds!"
Zhou Yulang nodded and said: "What Brother Song said is absolutely true. However, although I am the governor of a county, the forces in the county are complicated and each has their own background. I am afraid that these people will not obey orders!"
"In wartime, everything should be based on the war situation first, and be aware of the reasons. If there is any dissatisfaction, suppress it on the spot! You are afraid of taking responsibility, but I am not. As long as you give me a righteous name, I will naturally persuade them. But
If anyone uses this for personal gain, don’t blame me for not thinking about the overall situation!”
Ling Feng said coldly that he took the job himself because he was afraid that someone would take advantage of him.
Zhou Yulang smiled slightly and said: "That's natural. Leader Laolin is responsible for this matter. I will order someone to give you the order document later!"
Song Tianhao glanced at Ling Feng in surprise, not expecting that he would take the initiative to take on such an offending job.
In fact, there is no shortage of money, food, weapons, or soldiers in the county. For example, the three major Qinghe families, the Qiao family, the Yu family, and the Zhou family all have many elite servants to protect them, and they even hide bows, arrows, and armors that are prohibited by the imperial court. Other small families also have
They have accumulated quite a few bodyguards. If they can all be gathered together, plus the officers and soldiers of the county governor's office, the Qingjiao Gang, and the teachers and students of Qinghe College, it will not be difficult to form a force of 5,000 people, which will be enough to defend the city!
But everyone has their own selfish interests. These people are the lifeblood of each family. After all, they were handed over. After a big war, I don’t know how many of them will come back.
Another example is that the Jiuzhou bank has money, the grain merchants have grain, and the agents in the Zhennan Escort Bureau are all good. But these people all have court backgrounds. If Zhou Yulang dares to reach out to ask for money, let alone promotion afterwards, he will not lose.
Resigning from an official position is a sign of great favor from the emperor.
Although Ling Feng has no official position and is unlikely to lose his official position, if he is noticed by the people behind these forces, he may be in trouble.
His move could be said to be extremely unwise, but it also made Song Tianhao admired.
…
While the three of them were discussing, they were in a cell in the Sheriff's Mansion Prison.
Wu Tianliang was lying in a dirty cell covered in blood, but with a smile on his face, he didn't seem to be worried about his life or death at all.
Suddenly, the wall next to him opened with a bang, and rubble flew into the air. A man in black with a pale face and a cold expression walked in and said coldly: "Strategic Advisor, I have been ordered to pick you up!"
Wu Tianliang looked indifferent, as if he had expected it, and said: "Thank you!"
At this time, the two jailers heard the noise and rushed over with their swords drawn.
The man in black punched out with both fists, and the black fist hit the chests of the two people about ten feet away.
The two of them vomited blood and flew backwards, hitting the iron railing of the opposite cell with a banging sound and losing all breath.
A large number of jailers rushed over from behind.
"You go first!"
The man in black said, waiting for Wu Tianliang to come out of the cave, then he punched out.
The thick black fist blasted out with a bang, blowing away five or six jailers before he turned around and left.
…
At this time, it was in the back hall of the county governor's mansion.
The three of them were chatting when the cell leader came to report: "Sir, Wu Tianliang has been kidnapped!"
Zhou Yulang's face turned livid and he said coldly: "Trash! Someone, drag me out and behead him!"
At this time, two officers and soldiers with knives came in and were about to drag away the prison leader.
Ling Feng said, "Sir, wait a minute, this is the time to employ people, why not keep him here to serve his purpose!"
The two officers and soldiers looked at Zhou Yulang.
Zhou Yulang was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's all go down!"
"Thank you for not killing me, sir!"
The cell leader hurriedly clasped his fists, and at the same time quietly gave Ling Feng a grateful look, and immediately stepped back.
At this time, Song Tianhao said: "I remember Master Wu is not your confidant?"
Zhou Yulang suddenly looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
Ling Feng suddenly realized that this person was the undercover agent arranged by Netherworld Palace beside him.
At this time, someone else reported:
"Sir, the boss of Qingyin Pavilion wants to see you!"
"Qingjiao helps Yin Qianchou to ask for an audience!"
Zhou Yulang glanced at Ling Feng, saw the latter nodded, and said: "Let them come in!"
Immediately, Yin Qianchou and Leling came in together and hugged Song Tianhao and Zhou Yulang.
At this time, Yin Qianchou said to Ling Feng: "Brother Lin, Yu Shenxiu agrees to help, but this matter must be agreed by the county guard and Lord Song!"
Yin Qianchou smiled and said: "That sour scholar said that since the Netherworld Palace was going to rebel, he would definitely bribe Liu Feng first. Later, when I went to the Duwei Mansion and found that the building was empty, I realized that this sour scholar really had some talent.
Practical learning!”
Zhou Yulang's face did not look good. Ling Feng's extraordinary foresight made him feel a little uneasy. He had a murderous intention in his heart. Maybe he could get rid of this person this time!
However, Ling Feng vaguely sensed something. He turned his eyes to Zhou Yulang and said with a smile: "Yu Shenxiu is the dean of Qinghe College. He is rich in knowledge, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles. Now we have a military advisor!"
Zhou Yulang's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "This is indeed good news. I will go to visit Brother Shenxiu in person later."
At this time, Leling glanced at Ling Feng and saw the latter nodded before saying, "Then what I want to say is bad news. Although there are a few officers and soldiers guarding Suyuan, the underground passage has long been dug.
But there are only a few empty boxes left in the secret rooms underground!”
Zhou Yulang looked at Ling Feng and said in a deep voice: "Where is that?"
Ling Feng said calmly: "Gold bars, rice, weapons, and weapons can equip about three thousand people, and the money and food are enough for three thousand soldiers to consume for a year!"
Zhou Yulang's expression changed drastically. If it had been another time, he would have ordered people to capture Ling Feng. But at this time, he could not turn his back. He just said in a deep voice: "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, you are hiding money, food and weapons, are you planning to rebel?
?”
Ling Feng sneered and said: "This was carefully prepared by Netherworld Palace. I was originally going to send someone to take it away. Unexpectedly, you sent troops to guard Su Yuan, so I gave up temporarily! Now that the weapons, money and food have been lost, haven't they fallen into your hands?"
in your hands!"
Zhou Yulang suddenly remembered his master Wu Tianliang. He had no knowledge of this matter. It was obviously the trick of this person. He immediately felt a secret hatred in his heart and prepared to arrest all those who were related to Wu Tianliang and torture them severely.
Ling Feng looked at his expression and guessed that it was not in his hands, so he said: "This matter is over, let's go and do our own things, lest we have to say goodbye in a hurry!"
Zhou Yulang said: "I'm sorry for not sending you far away!"
Afterwards, Ling Feng and the other four people left together.
…
At the same time, thirty miles away from Qinghe County, in a valley.
There are many white tents in the valley, and there are soldiers patrolling outside. Among them is the largest military tent in the middle.
Liu Feng sat on the throne, and his lieutenants were arranged on the left and right.
One of the young captains stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Sir, I wonder where the bandits we are going to kill are?"
This captain's name is Zhou Tong, who is Zhou Yulang's distant nephew. Liu Feng pulled out all the troops in the name of suppressing bandits. They have been camping here for three days, but no bandits have appeared. However, a few of his troops have
Zheng Qiang's recent behavior has been a bit strange, and he naturally felt the subtlety of the atmosphere, so he spoke out.
