With the crisp sound of horse hooves, a group of people rushed into Hedong County. The chief of the pavilion along the road had already seen the people and horses driving in the distance. He quickly called four pavilion soldiers and ordered them to prepare their weapons.
Preparing to block the road, the chief of the pavilion squinted his eyes, and the men and horses gradually became clear. The leader was a somewhat bloated young man, followed by more than a dozen riders galloping behind him.
"Stop!" the pavilion chief shouted.
On weekdays, there are also many dandies and knights passing by here, but they generally do not underestimate the pavilion chiefs along the road. After all, these pavilion chiefs have the right to kill. If you ignore the pavilion chief's interrogation in the local area, the pavilion chief will
You can be subdued or killed, and he will not get into any trouble, so few people will embarrass the pavilion chief locally.
However, after this group of people saw the pavilion chief along the road, they had no intention of stopping. Instead, they rushed towards them, which frightened the pavilion chief and several pavilion soldiers. After Zhang Wen became the Taiwei,
, they treated the meritorious veterans of the Northern and Southern armies extremely kindly, and placed many of them in various pavilions.
Among these people, three of them had returned from the Northern Army. Seeing them rushing towards them at great speed, they quickly picked up the strong bow from behind and were about to shoot them. At this time, suddenly, the soldiers in the pavilion swallowed their saliva and widened their eyes.
He closed his eyes and said tremblingly: "Pavilion Chief... look at those people behind him..." The Pavilion Chief snorted coldly. After spending several years in the Northern Army, what are you still afraid of?
Before he could give the order, several soldiers behind him dropped the strong bows in their hands, which made the pavilion commander particularly angry. He calmly looked forward and saw, oh, it turned out to be a yellow crossbow. The pavilion commander simply put it in his hands.
The broken bow was thrown on the ground.
The horse rushed madly in front of the pavilion chief, raising its front hooves high, but it failed to scare the pavilion chief. The panic just now was just because he had never seen such a situation. After seeing the opponent's yellow crossbow,
, the pavilion chief actually calmed down. The other party was definitely not a thief. If the thief of the Han Dynasty had a yellow crossbow, the Han Dynasty would have been dead long ago!
Seeing that it did not frighten the pavilion chief, the little fat man did not do anything more. He just glared at him and led his people to rush past him quickly. The pavilion chief looked at the people and horses going away, and the pavilion soldiers were a little confused.
Worriedly asked: "Should we notify the county?"
"Hey, look at that horse. The Northern Army has such good horses, and that yellow crossbow. I don't know whose heir apparent it is. The notice must be given, but we'd better wait until they go far away.
Otherwise, you will be causing trouble for yourself..."
They were discussing, and suddenly, the little fat man rushed back with his people. The pavilion chief and the others were motionless. The little fat man raised his head high and asked, "Do you know where the Hedong Wei family is?"
"I don't know, what do you want to do?"
The pavilion chief frowned and asked.
The guard on the side rushed forward and scolded: "This is the current prince, why don't you pay your respects?!"
The pavilion chief looked blankly at the little fat man in front of him. He only looked at it for a moment, and then he immediately bowed to the prince. Although the several pavilion soldiers behind him didn't know why the pavilion chief believed the other person's identity so easily, they followed him.
He bowed profusely, and the attendant thought that it would take some convincing to convince the pavilion chief, but he did not expect that he would believe it so easily, which surprised him.
The little fat man rode on his horse, returned the greeting to them, and asked, "Do you know where the Wei family's family in Hedong is?"
"I know, but do you want me to lead the way for His Highness?"
"good!"
The little fat man smiled and asked his entourage to give him a horse. They brought four more horses as backup. The chief of the pavilion said goodbye to the soldiers. The soldier asked in a low voice: "Chief of the pavilion, do you really want to serve them?"
Leading the way? We don’t know whether it’s true or not…”
"Hey, what do you know? When I first joined the Confederate Army, the Emperor inspected the school grounds, and Lieutenant Sun almost injured His Majesty with an arrow... Ahem, I have seen His Majesty's appearance. His Majesty and Your Majesty look very similar.
, are generally the same, how can this be false?"
The chief of the pavilion gave them a few more instructions, then immediately rode his horse with a smile on his face and drove over with them.
With the local pavilion chief guiding them, Little Fatty and the others no longer had to bump around and ask passers-by for directions, and their speed was much faster. After running for a long time, the pavilion chief also learned the purpose of the prince's visit from his entourage.
, he was a local ranger before joining the Confederate Army. He was quite familiar with such things, and he also greatly agreed and admired the prince's actions.
Arriving at Wei's gate, the little fat man got off his horse.
The Wei family was also from a wealthy family before, but it has long since declined. Now it is just a larger merchant, and has no ability. Even this house is quite old, which is helpless. The merchants dare not build courtyards.
For fear of being targeted by local officials, after arriving, the little fat man directly ordered: "Smash it with me!"
The followers were not hesitant. They got off their horses and rushed over like swords. They slashed and kicked the door. After a few blows, the door was broken. The door was already in some shape and could not withstand their violence.
The sound of the door being broken made Wei's servants react in time, and everyone rushed to the front yard. Behind the dilapidated door, it turned out that there was another world.
Among them, there were gardens and pavilions everywhere, which made the little fat man even more angry. After seeing the servants coming, the little fat man gave an order, and everyone raised the yellow crossbow. A few of them had some knowledge and saw the yellow crossbow.
, his legs were weak and he almost fainted. The head of the Wei family was supported by his slaves and tremblingly rushed to the front yard. When he saw the yellow crossbow in the opponent's hand, he trembled even more violently.
"Who are you? I wonder if you have any grudge against me, the Wei family?"
"Who are you? Where is Wei Zhongdao, let him come out!!!" the little fat man roared.
"The boy is not at home... What did he do to offend you? I am his biological father and the head of the Wei family. I am willing to bear the responsibility... I only hope that you can forgive my little one..."
"Daughter of Duke Cai, do you still want to marry your eldest son? Now, I want to marry him, what should you do?"
The head of the family was stunned, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Cai is a confidant of the emperor and an important minister of the country..."
"Hahaha~~~"
"The emperor's confidant? My father, the emperor! What should you do?!"
The old man slowly raised his hands, with tears in his eyes, and said: "I pay homage to Your Highness, but this is an unreasonable disaster. Cai Gong and I have an appointment early..."
Seeing the old man's appearance, the little fat man felt soft and could not make any more troubles. He frowned and said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with me. It would be better if you go to Cai Gong as soon as possible and cancel the marriage."
Otherwise, I will definitely kill the Wei family!"
"Let these slaves have a long memory!" the little fat man ordered again. The followers stepped forward and punched and kicked these slaves. After the slaves heard the identity of the little fat man, they did not dare to fight back and lay on the ground moaning after being beaten.
Screaming randomly, the old man looked at the slaves lying on the ground in fear, then raised his head and looked at the prince. The little fat man snorted coldly and asked everyone to stop. Then he said: "Today, your son is not here. It is lucky. If you
Don’t let me…”
"Haha, don't forget, I treat rams!!"
ps: Dear gentlemen, something happened at home today and I am feeling uneasy, so I will skip one chapter. I will definitely make up for it tomorrow.
