It was late at night, and Haixi County fell into a cold silence.
The main street that connects the two gates of Haixi City is deserted. Everyone has closed the door early and got into the warm bed to sleep.
Several wine shops in the North Market are still open, and the singing and dancing of orioles can be heard from inside, which is in sharp contrast to the quiet Haixi.
"Something big happened!"
Someone broke into the wine shop and shouted at the wine shop owner: "Stop the business quickly, close the business quickly!"
"What's wrong?"
Most of the people drinking in the wine shop are passing businessmen. However, they are said to be businessmen, but they are from all walks of life. They are a mixed bag of people. No one knows what big things they do in private despite the name of a businessman.
Even though they seem to be brothers on the surface, maybe someone will pull out a knife and stab them when they turn around. Haixi County has never lacked that kind of desperado...
The visitor was panting, "I just got the news that the new county magistrate has intercepted Mr. Chen's goods."
"What?"
"I heard that Mr. Chen just collected five thousand stones of grain and rice from outside, spending tens of millions of money. I didn't expect that he was robbed... Something big will definitely happen tonight. Go back to your residence quickly to avoid being implicated. I
Let’s go now, we have to go to other places to report the news.”
"This dog officer is so brave!"
In the wine shop, the drinkers looked at each other in confusion.
Some people couldn't help but sigh, but it attracted everyone's wary eyes.
Deng Ji suddenly attacked, and he was so ruthless, which was beyond everyone's expectation. What did he rely on? If Deng Ji was not sure, how could he do such a big thing? It was equivalent to completely turning against Chen Sheng, and there would be no peace at all.
There is room for maneuver. If Deng Ji can really kill Chen Sheng, then who else in Haixi County would dare to openly oppose him? After all, they are court officials!
Dog officer?
No one would have cared about this title a quarter of an hour ago.
But now...
"Accounting!"
He cleverly pushed the naked girl in his arms to the ground, dropped a handful of coins, and left in a hurry.
Where there was the first person, there was the second, and then the third... In the blink of an eye, the wine shop that had been singing and dancing just now became deserted.
The wine shop's clerks didn't dare to slack off and closed the door in a hurry.
Whoever wins will be decided at dawn!
Chen Mansion, Flower Hall.
The guests had all left, leaving only Chen Sheng sitting at the head of the table.
His face was ashen, and he looked at the prostrate slave in the hall. After a long time, he suppressed his anger and growled: "Tell me, what is going on?"
"Returning to the master, the young men rushed back overnight after buying grain and rice in Quyang, Huaipu and other places.
Unexpectedly, just after swimming, we were attacked by a group of strongmen. The brothers were not alert at all. In addition, the strongmen were so fierce that they killed more than a dozen of us brothers in one go. The younger ones resisted desperately, but the other party had nothing to do.
They were numerous and powerful, and the few leaders were too brave. Almost all of them were as ruthless as one against ten. The brothers suffered heavy casualties, and the villain fought to his death to escape."
"Can you see clearly, who is the other party?"
"He's a subordinate of that dog officer."
"how do you know?"
"The master once ordered the villain to monitor the county government, so the villain is very familiar with the people in the dog officials.
There were two teenagers, the guys who smashed up our shop that day, and the deadbeat guy... In addition, the villain also saw the black-faced guard of the dog officer. So the villain can be sure that it was the dog
What a good thing the official has done! Master, please make the decision for the little ones."
Chen Sheng slapped his hand on the desk and became furious, "Guan Gu, you bullied me too much."
The elegant temperament has long since disappeared.
He took a deep breath and wandered in the flower hall, thinking about countermeasures.
"Master, this matter is really intolerable!"
"oh?"
Chen Sheng raised his head and looked at the speaker.
This person's name is Huang Yi, and he is Chen Sheng's staff.
Speaking of the origin of Huang Yi, there is indeed a little story.
His uncle was Huang Shao, the priest of Taiping Road and the military advisor of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. However, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans rebelled and were suppressed by Cao Cao. Huang Shao was also captured by Cao Hong... As soon as Huang was desperate, he came to work under Chen Sheng and became the leader.
Chen Sheng's dog-headed military advisor.
Huang Yi said: "The dog officer is clearly targeting the master by doing this.
By robbing the master of grain and rice, he can stabilize the price of grain in Haixi and change the people's view of him in Haixi. If we continue to raise prices, I'm afraid the people in Haixi will be dissatisfied with the master. At the same time, he also used this
By means of the master's name, he established a foothold in Haixi.
This dog officer is different from the previous ones. On the surface, he shouted that he wanted to encircle and suppress the pirates, but in fact, he was targeting the master."
This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
The Jia people in Haixi are like monkeys, and Chen Sheng is the 'chicken'.
When Huang Yi explained this, Chen Sheng immediately woke up.
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
"Sir, if you don't do it, you won't stop. We will do this as a dog official."
Huang Yi's face showed a gloomy look.
"oh?"
"Master, don't forget, the dog officer only has so many people at his disposal. Since he sent people to intercept the grain, it means that there are not many guards in his county government office. If we wait until he takes our grain into the city, we will think about it again.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight back! It's better to kill him first while he has no one in his hands. Then we will pretend that it was pirates, and no one will really come to ask! Anyway, this is not the first time.
This kind of thing has happened before, and even if it happens again now, it is normal... Once the dog officer dies, the Haixi people still have to listen to the master... At this time, we must not be merciful! Master, don't forget what we originally did and where we came from."
Chen Sheng's eyes narrowed.
He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
"I didn't want to go back to my old career, but you forced me to do this." He raised his head and shouted sternly: "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while. Huang Yi, you go and gather people immediately, follow me to the county government, and get the dog officer's
Life. Tell the following, and say that after the matter is completed, I, Chen Sheng, will never treat them badly. As long as you participate, the money will be increased by one hundred cases every month... I will remember whoever helped me, Chen Sheng."
Huang Yi laughed loudly, cupped his hands and said: "Master, you are smart!"
"Bring me my spear."
Chen Sheng's cheek twitched a few times and he gave instructions below.
He returned to the inner room, took out his armor, and put it on neatly.
A slave brought a horse over. Chen Sheng stepped on the slave's back and sat astride the horse.
At this time, Huang Yi also summoned more than 200 minions, each holding weapons and gathering like menacing gods outside the Chen Mansion.
Chen Sheng urged his horse to rush out of the mansion, holding his spear high.
"Brothers, this Haixi is our Haixi. Whoever dares to cut off our livelihood, we will fight them to the death."
At this time, Chen Sheng still had the temperament of a scribe. His words and expression looked exactly like that of a bandit.
The minions heard this, raised their arms and shouted: "Kill the dog officer!"
"Follow me and attack!"
With a satisfied smile on his face, Chen Sheng turned the horse's head and took the lead.
More than two hundred minions followed closely behind, swarming towards the county government...
County government office, flower hall.
Deng Ji was so drunk that he drank the wine in one gulp.
"Magistrate Deng, stop drinking!"
Deng Ji waved his hands repeatedly, "It's okay, I haven't had enough fun yet."
"Why are you so happy?"
Mai Ren couldn't help but asked curiously.
Deng Ji smiled slightly, "I am hosting a banquet today because I want everyone to see a good thing. Unfortunately...but it doesn't matter. After tonight, this Haixi will still be our country."
"oh?"
Mai Ren and Wang Cheng looked surprised and were about to ask for details when they saw Hu Ban hurriedly walking in from outside the flower hall.
He whispered a few words in Deng Ji's ear, and a smile suddenly appeared on Deng Ji's face. The confused look from earlier disappeared immediately. He stood up, and suddenly his voice was sharp, "Come here, take me
weapon."
A domestic slave immediately walked into the flower hall holding a Ganshou knife.
Deng Ji reached out with one arm, grabbed the Nian Shou Dao, and said to Mai Ren and Wang Cheng: "You two, would you like to follow me and see if something good happens?"
"Ah, my lord invites you, how can we refuse?"
Wang Cheng and Mai Ren also realized that something was not right at this moment.
It seems that the banquet served by Deng Ji today is not an ordinary banquet. To put it bluntly, today's banquet is a queue drink. Whoever sits here today will probably have an unobstructed journey in Haixi in the future; those who
Those who didn't come may be in trouble...
However, the two of them are still a little curious.
What exactly is Deng Ji planning to do? To resolve the pressure placed on him by Chen Sheng?
Wang Cheng's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Mai Renben's somewhat confused eyes suddenly became clear...
They all clearly felt that the one-armed magistrate in front of them was probably different from those in the past.
Following Deng Ji out of the flower hall, he came to the front yard of the county government office.
Originally, there was an independent small courtyard in the front yard, but it was demolished in recent days due to the renovation of the county government office. In the small courtyard, a wooden tower was erected, about three feet high. Deng Ji took Wang Chenghe
After Mai Ren climbed up to the tower, he raised his eyes and looked outside.
At the end of the long street, firelight flickered.
Deng Ji smiled, turned around and said, "Good things are coming!"
Wang Cheng and Mai Ren quickly looked outside the county government office.
Chen Sheng raised his horse, twisted his gun, and with his claws and claws, rushed toward the county government office.
In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was making trouble in Taishan County. Ten years have passed... ten years have passed in a flash!
I thought I would escape that kind of life, but unexpectedly I would start over again.
In fact, in the past ten years, when had he truly escaped from the life of blood and fire?
Chen Sheng was originally a teacher at the foot of Mengshan Mountain in Taishan County. When he was young, he killed a local tycoon and was forced to go up the mountain to become a bandit.
In the first year of Zhongping, Chen Sheng joined Taiping Dao.
But before he could do anything, Taipingdao disappeared. So, he took his men and returned to Mengshan as a bandit, and lived happily for several years. However, in the second year of Zhongping, Jizhou Governor Wang Fen conspired to abolish
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong wanted to make the Marquis of Hefei the emperor. After the incident, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty became furious and triggered a new round of purges. Unfortunately for Chen Sheng, he was also implicated in this incident.
Mengshan's old nest was destroyed, and he fled to Haixi with the looted wealth.
Ten years later, Chen Sheng established a foothold in Haixi. He watched with his own eyes as county magistrates came and left in a hurry. Haixi County gradually became what it is today. But this time, Chen Sheng
Amidst the changes, the strength is growing day by day.
This Haixi is mine!
This Haixi was created by me...
If anyone wants to take away my Haixi County, I will not be at odds with him!
Sitting on the horse, Chen Sheng kept encouraging himself. Back then, he was all-powerful and killed people like crazy. Unexpectedly, he was trembling a little today.
Could it be that you are getting old?
The minions behind him were showing off their power, but Chen Sheng was sitting on the horse, his thoughts going back and forth.
After passing the arch in front, you will find the county government office!
Chen Sheng took a breath: At this point, I have no way out!
"Chen Ziqi gathered a crowd to rebel and attack the county government. Why don't you just tie up your hands quickly?"
Just when Chen Sheng had made up his mind and came under the arch, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly.
He felt a chill in his heart, quickly raised his head and shouted: "Who!"
"Your young master, I have been waiting here for a long time!"
In the darkness of the long street, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
A white shadow burst out from the darkness, as fast as a meteor and lightning. Immediately sitting upright was a young general, wearing a white battle robe and a piece of plain white silver armor. In his palm was a seven-foot-long sword. The young general was almost clinging to the horse's back.
, and the war horse were completely integrated into one. In Chen Sheng's eyes, he couldn't tell clearly which one was a human and which one was a horse. He could only feel a white lightning whistling towards him.
That white horse is an extraordinary horse.
He is one foot two in length and has a strong and muscular physique.
When running, the horse's body is almost in a straight line, and the horse's tail is parallel to the horse's head.
Four hooves stepped on the long gravel street, making a sound of gold and iron. Click, click, click... The rapid sound of horse hooves was like the roar of war drums, which shocked people's hearts.
Chen Sheng was startled, raised his spear on his horse, and shouted sternly: "Whoever comes here will be killed by his name!"
Perhaps, it was really Jiu Li's killing, the most common incision on the battlefield, that was actually wrong!
A common name leads to death, but it turns into a common name to take life? Doesn’t that mean that you give me my name first and then take my life?
As soon as Chen Sheng said the words, he immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to change his words, but the other party arrived right in front of him.
It was too late, but soon, the young general on the horse suddenly stood up on the horse. Logically speaking, he should not have stood up while sitting on the horse, but suddenly, he seemed to stand up. The man and the horse suddenly stood up.
The separation creates a visual illusion, as if a person appears out of nowhere. The moment the white horse grows taller, it suddenly accelerates in a short distance.
A flash of cold light came whistling.
The moment the long sword was unsheathed, it slashed at him with a sharp roar that tore through the air.
"ah!"
Chen Sheng couldn't help shouting and quickly raised his gun to greet him.
Just listen to the clang, click...
The bronze spear in Chen Sheng's hand was cut into two pieces by the opponent's long knife, like cutting tofu. The knife was fierce and the speed did not slow down at all. Chen Sheng's head buzzed as the opponent cut off the spear.
I screamed in my heart that it was bad, but my body seemed to be unable to move, and it suddenly froze on the horse.
People are like tigers, horses are like dragons!
The seven-foot-long knife scraped against Chen Sheng's armor, making a harsh sound of metal friction.
Sparks flew, but Chen Sheng didn't seem to notice it.
The white horse flew past him and rushed into the crowd without looking back.
The young general on the horse slashed with his sword, but he saw the sword cloud rolling, and blood and flesh flew everywhere where the sword passed, killing only those minions who screamed in agony.
The team of more than 200 people was instantly pierced by the white horse boy.
He rushed to the other end of the long street, suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, his long knife lowered.
A stream of blood beads slid down the spine of the knife and dropped to the ground, making a soft squeaking sound.
I saw him, taking off his plain-colored turban, revealing a delicate face. He slowly raised the long knife in his hand, pointing the tip at Chen Sheng and others without saying a word.
Chen Sheng picked up the horse's reins and turned the horse back.
When the knife edge passed over his body, he only felt a chill, but it didn't seem to cause any serious harm.
But when he moved, the armor on his body fell off with a crash. Chen Sheng quickly looked down and saw that the clothes on his chest were soaked with blood. Not only did the knife tear the armor, but it also dragged the knife straight along his shoulder.
Come down and stop when you reach your crotch.
It's just that this knife is too fast!
It was as fast as lightning, and Chen Sheng didn't feel anything.
But as soon as he moved, the wound suddenly opened. His intestines and stomach fell out of the wound with a crash. Chen Sheng wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He raised his hand and pointed at the white horse boy, his face
He still had an incredulous expression on his face.
His body was carried on the horse for two years, swayed twice, fell off the horse with a thud, and died.
There was still no expression on the face of the white horse boy. The long knife in his hand was still pointed at Chen Sheng's minions, motionless!
"Mr. Chen...is dead?"
"No, Mr. Chen is dead..."
In an instant, the minions were in chaos.
"Everyone, listen, put down your weapons immediately, otherwise we will kill without mercy!"
"Put down your weapons and kill without mercy!"
Following the white horse young man's sharp shout, a series of roars suddenly echoed from both ends of the long street.
Wang Mai and Xia Houlan appeared on the long street from the direction of the county government with more than ten followers. Deng Fan also appeared at the other end of the long street with more than ten people and quickly came behind the white horse young general. The white horse young general
The horse is circling, the night is illuminated by the sound of white chirping, which echoes endlessly in the sky above the long street.
"I am Cao Peng, Cao Yushi of the Haixi Army.
You must drop your weapons immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."
Minions, there was a commotion.
Before they could react, Xiahou Lan raised his silver gun high.
The soldiers on both sides stepped forward at the same time, "Kill, kill, kill!"
As they approached the minions, a series of "killing" sounds burst out from their mouths.
The retinue brought by Xu Yi and the retinue brought by Dian Wei. Although there were only thirty people, they were all warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. As they advanced, the sky above the entire long street suddenly spread.
There was a strong murderous intent. Chen Sheng's body was lying in a pool of blood, and seven or eight minions were wailing and screaming. While morale was low, there was indeed a killing intent... Some of the timid people were so scared that they peed.
They usually bully people in the market without a problem, but when faced with real warriors, they can't help but be frightened!
clang-
The weapon in someone's hand fell to the ground, triggering a series of reactions in an instant.
"Surrender, I'll surrender!"
"Mom...I want to go home..."
"Master Jun, we are all kind-hearted people. Chen Sheng forced us to come here!"
A smile appeared on Cao Peng's handsome face.
He slowly lowered his long knife and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the county government office. He saw lights flashing on the county government office tower, and Deng Ji held his hand on the tower railing and looked towards him.
Although the distance was far away, Cao Peng could still feel the concern in Deng Ji's eyes.
He suddenly changed his hand with the long knife, pointed towards the tower, and raised his hand in salute!
Although Deng Ji didn't see it very clearly, he knew that it was Cao Peng reporting to him that he was safe.
A smile appeared on his clear cheeks. He turned to Mai Ren and Wang Cheng and said, "Is this good thing really exciting?"
