Loan Wusheng

Chapter 103: Subjugating the Troops from Three Counties (Large Chapter of Words)
A murderous aura spread all around Zheng Jun, and the cold light of the Beirong sword in his hand leaked out, and a sense of determination was difficult to conceal.

Although there was no flashing of swords and sabers, this sharp feeling still made everyone present feel very fierce.

Su Nan, the magistrate of Langkang County, looked at Zheng Jun, who did not take him seriously at all, with an extremely ugly expression on his face. However, facing Zheng Jun's words which were as sharp as a knife, he could not say anything for a while.

Let's discuss and make progress together?

Su Nan did not think that his level was higher than that of Yuan Yi Zhenren of Canghai Sect, nor did he think that he was much stronger than Han Hu, the captain of the army squadron.

The name of Zheng Jun is now well-known in the outer circle of Pingzhang County.

Everyone knows that there is an extremely powerful Qi-accumulating warrior in Heishan County who can kill outer-energy warriors with the power of accumulated Qi. Two outer-energy warriors that everyone knows have died at the hands of Zheng Jun. Even Han Hu, who has always been bad-tempered and irritable, has become taciturn after losing to Zheng Sanlang several times.

It seems like a different person.

Su Nan also knew how powerful Zheng Jun was.

but,
If he gave in and admitted defeat this time, how would he control his subordinates in the future? !
Su Nan's clothes trembled, and his Qi continued to overflow. After a few breaths of stalemate, Su Nan finally forced out an extremely ugly smile, made way for Zheng Jun, and said rather stiffly: "Su and General Zheng are officials in the same dynasty. Since Jin Ye is secretly in contact with the bandits, it is normal for General Zheng to kill him."

After thinking for a while, Su Nan decided it would be better to move aside.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Zheng Jun's role in killing Meng Xian and Yuan Yi and defeating Han Hu six times has already been demonstrated. Ordinary outer guards like Su Nan no longer dare to stop Zheng Jun's actions.

"Go back tonight and write a detailed report. I will seriously criticize Zheng Jun!"

Su Nan thought viciously in his heart.

Seeing Su Nan giving in voluntarily, Zheng Jun also showed a kind smile and slowly put away the knife.

[Intimidate the outer Gang, show your power when wearing armor. The progress of armored sword skills repayment +253, current repayment progress: 993/8000. ]

The small ink characters in front of him flashed by, and when Zheng Jun saw the line of characters in front of him, he was stunned and felt very surprised.

"Just standing here and intimidating the outer space can increase the repayment progress by 250 points?"

Zheng Jun thought to himself, feeling very incredible, and even couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly: "Then this armored sword technique is too simple, isn't it? If I go all out, I can pay it back in less than five days!"

Su Nan, who was standing in front of Zheng Jun, saw Zheng Jun's mouth raised inadvertently, and his veins popped up and he clenched his fists: What does he mean by this? Is he mocking or laughing at Su? !
I am the county magistrate appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and the Marquis of Baili in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
When have you ever been humiliated like this?!
Clenched fists, gritted teeth.

Zheng Jun looked at Su Nan with a hint of teasing in his eyes and asked, "Magistrate Su, what's wrong?"

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Su Nan took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Nothing, I wonder how long General Zheng will stay in Langkang County?"

"Leaving tonight."

Zheng Jun chuckled, then swaggered past Su Nan with a knife in his hand.

Qingdai held the sword and also raised her head, like a proud peacock, following behind Zheng Jun and passing by.

The speed was very fast and swept away everything in its path.

Zheng Jun, Qingdai and Cai Liu left calmly under the attention of the entire county government.

Su Nan's face was gloomy, but the fast-moving constables and police officers were all delighted, looking at Zheng Jun's leaving back with longing in their hearts.

Man, this is how it should be!
……

"General Zheng, we have no grudges in the past or in the present. I'm afraid that offending the county magistrate of Langkang County will be bad for your future career, right?"

After returning to the inn and packing up the sedan chair, Cai Liu looked at Zheng Jun who was already sitting in the carriage and couldn't help but whispered: "After you killed the chief clerk surnamed Jin, you should have a better way to communicate with Magistrate Su."

Qingdai blinked when she heard this and looked at Zheng Jun. She didn't say anything, but she was still confused.

After all, Su Nan had not taken the initiative to provoke Zheng Jun, and Zheng Jun could have used better means to avoid this unnecessary conflict. Doing so was too...

A bit arrogant and domineering.

Since ancient times, those generals who were arrogant and could not be dealt with for some reason would always have a tragic end afterwards.

Wait until the Black Mountain bandits are wiped out, or King Dayi withdraws his troops.

My lord, how should you deal with yourself in Pingzhang County?

"It doesn't matter."

Zheng Jun closed his eyes and did not open them. He just said calmly, "He is just a clown. Why should we communicate with him? It's a waste of time."

Zheng Jun was very calm.

He now has 1,800 people under his command. His next move is to replicate his operations in Heishan County in Pingyun, Rongyuan and Zhiyuan counties.

Then, he would inevitably become enemies with all the gentry and powerful people in Pingzhang County.

Although Su Nan was not from Pingzhang County, he was also part of the interest network of the gentry and powerful people in Langkang County.

The gentry of Langkang County, seeing what they have done in Pingyun, Rongyuan and Zhiyuan counties, won’t they feel that their teeth will be in danger if their lips are gone?
Then won’t Su Nan be on guard against and hostile to me at that time?

Sooner or later, the other party will hate you. If that's the case, then what is there to be afraid of?
If Su Nan hadn't taken the initiative just now, Zheng Jun would have wanted to find an opportunity to fight him first!

An external Gang can naturally provide a lot of repayment progress.

Another point is that Zheng Jun now urgently needs to show his personality and build his own reputation!

Now that he had an extra 600 soldiers, he naturally had to make good use of them.

When you are a general, reputation is very important.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, if there were two generals, would you choose to fight under the command of Wei Qing, Marquis of Changping, or fight beside Li Guang, the Flying General?
Zheng Jun wanted 600 soldiers who could fight, not soldiers who had to start from scratch.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Liu couldn't help but be amazed. Then he drove the carriage with peace of mind and headed towards Heishan County.

Cai Liu never thought of this even in his dreams.

In just a few short months, he had such a hard time killing Lou Wei, who had just started to accumulate energy, and beat him so hard that his knuckles were broken and his internal organs were churning. Now, this young man with potential in the martial arts world has become someone who does not even take the magistrate of Waigang County seriously!
It really is, like a dream.

When Qingdai heard Zheng Jun's words, her eyes were filled with longing when she looked at Zheng Jun.

Man, this is how it should be!
No matter what you do, if you dare to block my way, you will be killed with one sword!

Just as Qing Dai was yearning and Cai Liu was sighing, Zheng Jun, who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, suddenly said, "Old senior, please hide your aura when you return to the city this time, and take more remote and quiet paths, which are the areas where robberies are most likely to occur."

"It's not easy to come out here, so we should do something good for the people in each county. Let's take this opportunity to wipe out these robbers!"

……

Three days later, Heishan County.

The half-demon green-maned horse drove the carriage back to Black Mountain in a dusty state.

The return journey took one more day because of Zheng Jun’s instructions.

If you walk more on remote and quiet paths, you will naturally end up taking a detour along the way.

As expected, they encountered several gangs of bandits, but they were all blood-refining people, and none of them were energy-gathering people.

This made Zheng Jun a little disappointed, but he still killed them all one by one.

Zheng Jun chose to do this for two reasons.

The first is to do something good, as he said openly.

Second, the repayment progress brought by killing enemies and using the sword skills to repay the debt is the largest.

Zheng Jun did not intend to kill people indiscriminately, so killing bandits was the best way to obtain the resources.

These groups of blood-refining warriors also provided Zheng Jun with repayment progress of three to four hundred points, pushing the repayment progress of the armored sword to '1328/8000'.

It seemed that there were still a lot left, but Zheng Jun personally led the team to pacify the gentry and powerful people in the three counties.

Of course it will be repaid.

The low city wall of Heishan County is visible from afar.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw Zheng Jun's carriage from afar and immediately became excited.

However, due to his duties, he could only stand at the gate, motionless, waiting for the carriage to pass by.

The magistrates from the third shift of Heishan County who came to assist didn't care about that.

Wang Laizi, the new leader of the Zhuangban, saw Zheng Jun's carriage from afar and was overjoyed. He said quickly, "Come with me to welcome General Zheng... Ahem, General Zheng!"

"Yan Lao San, go inform the Dianshi that General Zheng is back. The Dianshi has been talking about General Zheng every day these days!"

After receiving Wang Laizi's instructions, the police officers began to take action.

Soon, they welcomed Zheng Jun's carriage.

Cai Liu was sitting in the front, driving the horse. When he saw a large group of police officers coming, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he whispered to the back of the carriage curtain, "General, the police officers from the third shift have arrived."

"Well, I see."

Zheng Jun nodded, and Qingdai immediately stepped forward and opened the curtain for Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun immediately appeared in front of these police officers.

He was wearing a dark black spruce robe with golden threads, a Northern Rong sword on his waist, with a slender and upright figure, indifferent eyes, and a murderous and decisive aura.

"During this trip to the county town, General Zheng seems to have become even more powerful."

Such a thought flashed through Wang Laizi's mind, but Wang Laizi quickly recovered and shouted loudly: "Welcome General Zheng back, may the general win!"

After saying this, Wang Laizi bowed and respectfully welcomed Zheng Jun.

As Wang Laizi shouted, the surrounding police officers also shouted in unison and bowed to welcome him: "Welcome General Zheng back, may the general win!"

After a few shouts, not only the police officers shouted, but the soldiers guarding the city also started to rise up and saluted Zheng Jun's carriage with military salutes. Their expressions were extremely respectful, as if they had seen an imperial carriage!
"Welcome back General Zheng, may you have great success!"

"..."

The sound was continuous and the air waves were endless.

When the common people passing by heard the sound, they subconsciously shrank their necks, but soon they realized that these police officers and soldiers did not seem to be causing trouble, but were instead crowding around a luxurious carriage and shouting. They were startled and began to join in the fun.

Suddenly, there was a crowd of people.

"Who is in this carriage?"

"General Zheng, do we have a General Zheng in Heishan County?"

"I only know Mr. Zheng Jun, who has done us a great favor. I don't know any General Zheng!"

"..."

The people were talking about it, but at this moment, a few sharp-eyed people saw Zheng Jun in a black shirt with a sword and a white jade belt, and they couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's Master Zheng San who is back! It turns out that General Zheng is Master Zheng San!"

"Mr. Zheng San is so handsome and resolute! He has become a general at such a young age. It seems that the world will be peaceful in the future!"

"Master Zheng is back! Master Zheng is back! The backbone of our Black Mountain people is back!"

"..."

Following the first cry of surprise, a series of voices soon emerged from the people.

The common people who enter and leave the city through the county magistrate's gate are all people from surrounding villages and towns who come to the county for important matters or to do business.

Zheng Jun was naturally very nice to them.

After meeting Zheng Jun, he naturally showed greater enthusiasm than the officials and soldiers.

Some vegetable farmers even held up the fruits and vegetables they wanted to sell and presented them to Zheng Jun.

They also know who is good to them.

Before Zheng Jun came, they were terrified every time they entered the city, fearing that they would be killed by bandits on the way. The police officers and soldiers at the city gate also wanted to take some bribes, such as money or fruits. In short, they would do whatever it took to get what they wanted.

When they returned to the towns and villages, they were still oppressed and humiliated by the local gentry, and the tenants had to farm the land and pay taxes for the landlords.

And ever since Zheng Jun came, Qingtian has really come.

On all the main roads, the Tongzhou Society's joint defense teams were present, and even county soldiers would sometimes carry out patrols, so mountain bandits were basically eliminated.

The yamen runners and soldiers at the city gate were replaced, and the new gatekeepers were all promoted by Zheng Jun and no longer took a cut of the commission.

Needless to say, the landlords in the towns and villages had all their land and money redistributed by Zheng Jun.

As for those landlords and gentry who were not convinced... Zheng Jun struck back with heavy punches to vent their anger!

As for the residents in the county, they did not receive much favor from Zheng Jun. They only knew that there was a hero named Zheng Sanlang in Heishan County who was extremely capable. As Heishan people, they were also proud of him.

However, some people who were related to the gentry were naturally dissatisfied with Zheng Jun.

But even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it.

Outputting against the wind is pure stupidity.

Looking at the common people and police officers rushing around, Zheng Jun had a strange look on his face for a moment, and he felt like the 'Sun God'.

However, looking at the increasing number of people around him, Zheng Jun took a deep breath, stood at the front of the car, and used his true energy to make a loud voice, like a bell: "Dear fellow villagers, Sanlang still has important matters to attend to, and is unable to talk with you here for the time being. I will talk to you tomorrow!"

"Let's get out of the way, and let Mr. Zheng San do his work!"

"May the Third Master live a long and healthy life. It would be great if he could become the magistrate of our county..."

"Third Master is a general now, how can he come back to be a county magistrate? In my opinion, Third Master should be promoted to a higher position and become a prime minister!"

"..."

Accompanied by a series of chaotic sounds, a path was spontaneously cleared in front of Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun nodded, bowed to the people around him to express his gratitude, and then asked Cai Liu to drive the car through the city gate.

Then, Zheng Jun sat back in his seat.

Thinking back to the surging crowd and the busy scene just now, Qingdai couldn't help but feel a little happy, and the smile on her face could almost be said to be unstoppable.

The people are willing to help and the reputation is excellent!
This is the control my young master has over Heishan County!
This is the real dragon among men!

Those blind old guys in Jishidiang actually think it's a waste to invest too much in young masters. It would be a waste if you keep your eyes!
Thinking of this, Qingdai couldn't help but pout, and decided to go back and write down a ten-thousand-word letter to persuade the manager to increase his investment in the young master.

You don't invest in a real dragon like this, but you invest in the nephew of the Yunzhou Songheng City Manager every day. He is born a noble, so why would he need your investment? !
Qingdai's mind was extremely active, and Cai Liu also felt a sense of honor.

Riding horses for such outstanding and heroic people is the most glorious moment in a horseman's life.

This is a process that I have never experienced even when I was driving a horse for my own son!

Soon, the carriage arrived at Zheng's mansion.

My brother-in-law Zhou Pu and my sister Zheng Ping were waiting at the door early.

After seeing Zheng Jun, she was overjoyed and hurried forward to meet Zheng Jun. Zheng Ping looked her brother up and down, fearing that something might happen: "Did you get hurt this time when you went to the county town?"

"Sister, the county town is very safe, how could you get hurt?"

Zheng Jun got off the car, smiled and said something, then looked at Zhou Pu. Seeing Zhou Pu wearing the robe of a ninth-rank military officer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he immediately bowed and congratulated him, "Congratulations, brother-in-law, on your promotion to Dianshi. When I see you in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to call you Dianshi!"

"Harmful."

Zhou Pu patted Zheng Jun on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction: "How did I get this position as a Dianshi? Others don't care, so why don't you care?"

"Come on, go home and have a drink!"

After saying that, Zhou Pu put his arm around Zheng Jun's shoulders and walked towards his home in a carefree manner.

Zheng Jun felt helpless when he saw this and just gave a look to Qingdai and Cai Liu behind him.

The two of them also understood what he meant.

As for Zheng Ping, after seeing Qingdai, her eyes immediately lit up. Before Qingdai put down her things, she went straight forward, took Qingdai's slender jade hand, and said very intimately: "Sister, you are Qingdai, right? I have heard of you for a long time. Where do you live? How many people are there in your family..."

Seeing Zheng Ping so enthusiastic, Qingdai was shocked and was at a loss for a moment.

Seeing that no one around could help her out, she could only stutter as she answered Zheng Ping's question: "Madam, Qingdai is from Yunzhou. Her parents are no longer around. There are six brothers and sisters in her family..."

As she was talking, Zheng Ping took her hand and followed Zheng Jun and Zhou Pu, chatting about family matters.

Upon seeing this, Cai Liu just chuckled twice, then drove the carriage towards the county lieutenant's courtyard.

As for the luggage in the car, someone will naturally deliver it to Zheng Jun’s house later.

"..."

After three rounds of drinks and about half an hour of eating, they dispersed. After all, they hadn't seen each other for only twenty days, which wasn't too long, and there wasn't much to talk about.

We usually meet in Heishan, and we see each other every day. Zheng Jun had other important things to do, so the meeting ended like this.

Nothing major happened during the twenty days that Zheng Jun was away.

The only major event was Cai Xun's promotion to county magistrate, who also served as county lieutenant.

He became the only super seventh-rank official who was both a county magistrate and a county lieutenant among the eight counties of Pingzhang County.

Zheng Jun already knew that Zhou Pu had been promoted to Dianshi.

As for the county magistrate, a new one was parachuted in from the state. His surname was Liu and he was over 40 years old. He used to be a minor official in a department of the state government, working for an uncle of the Cai family. He had always been honest and smart. This time he was parachuted in to assist Cai Xun in handling government affairs.

Chief Clerk Shen Yunyi has not changed and still remains in this position.

But now, he no longer seeks promotion, he only wants peace.

I heard that he personally presided over the land distribution work of the Shen family in the past ten days, and played a leading role for the gentry.

After drinking with Zhou Pu, the two protectors of Tongzhouhui, the team leaders in the army, the deputy captain Yang Jun, the head of the third squad, and even the newly appointed county magistrate all came to pay their respects to Zheng Jun, but were all sent away by Zheng Jun with a few words.

Cai Xun also hurried to meet Zheng Jun, and praised Zheng Jun for his powerful move in defeating Han Hu six times in the county city. He also gave Zheng Jun the blue-maned horse with half-demon bloodline.

Zheng Jun declined several times, but he had no choice but to accept it.

However, the horse was not kept in Zheng's mansion, but stayed with Cai Xun, who took care of its daily food and drink, which saved Zheng Jun an expense.

After dealing with all the social etiquette, Zheng Jun sat in a chair, looking at the list sent by Xu Zhilei, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

In front of Zheng Jun were the deputy captain Yang Jun, the cook Xu Zhilei, Du Ding and other Black Mountain Guard officers.

This list is the list of county military officers from Zhiyuan, Pingyun and Rongyuan counties.

The county military commanders of the three counties were named Ge Weize, Yue Kai and Song Ran respectively.

They are all warriors who accumulate energy.

As for the list of team leaders and squad leaders below, Zheng Jun also got it, but did not take it seriously.

Among the chiefs of these three counties, Yue Kai, the chief of Pingyun County, and Ge Weize, the chief of Zhiyuan County, were both veterans who had retired from the front line of Yunzhou.

Only Song Ran from Rongyuan County is the head of the Song family, a well-known local gentry and landlord in Rongyuan County.

After receiving the order from the county, Yue Dutou and Ge Dutou of Pingyun County and Zhiyuan County immediately came to communicate with Heishanwei and proposed the idea of meeting Zheng Jun. Only Song Dutou of Rongyuan County has not responded so far and is pretending to be dead.

After learning the news, Zheng Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He now understood who his main target would be if he wanted to take control of the other three counties.

Zheng Jun did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Captain Yang, send the cavalry to inform Captain Yue of Pingyun Guard and Captain Ge of Zhiyuan Guard, and ask them to gather at the training ground of Rongyuan Guard in three hours. I will give them a lecture."

"It's fine if they come alone, or if they are afraid of something, they can bring their personal soldiers with them. After three hours, if I don't see them in the training ground of Rongyuanwei, they don't have to appear in front of me!"

Zheng Jun's voice was cold, and Yang Jun couldn't help but shudder. He immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

After receiving Zheng Jun's order, Yang Jun hurriedly went down to instruct the cavalry to prepare to notify the two captains Yue and Ge.

After Yang Jun left, Zheng Jun said to Xu Zhilei and Du Ding, "Organize the troops, mobilize the personal soldiers and the second group, and follow me to Rongyuan Guard. When you arrive, you must immediately control the armory and training ground of Rongyuan Guard, so that Song Ran will not have time to form a battle array!"

After hearing Zheng Jun's instructions, Xu Zhilei and Du Ding were shocked. They naturally understood what Zheng Jun was going to do, and immediately bowed and shouted, "Yes!"

Immediately, he retreated and went to reorganize his troops.

Zheng Jun let out a breath.

To him, Song Ran, who was at the Qi Accumulation Stage, posed no threat at all.

Even without bringing his personal soldiers and the third group, Zheng Jun could still kill the Rongyuan Guards if he went alone with a knife.

Even if Song Ran formed a battle formation and used 300 county soldiers to fight against Zheng Jun.

He couldn't bear it either.

This is Zheng Jun’s confidence.

But he had always been the one to take action, which always made his soldiers lose their will to fight, thinking that as long as he took action, they would win and they just had to go through the motions.

This time we want to tell the soldiers that your role is also very important.

As for Zheng Jun, he had studied the art of war, so he naturally knew that when the commander formed a battle formation, he could unleash some extraordinary power.

But at the same time, it also has great limitations. It is basically all used for positional warfare and defensive warfare, and rarely can be used in offense.

For Zheng Jun, these soldiers under his command are his backup plan and can form a formation to temporarily resist any unmatched danger.

What you really have to rely on is your own personal strength.

After all, a formation is ultimately an external object.

Zheng Jun only regarded it as a magic weapon in his heart, rather than a guarantee for survival.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun immediately stood up, glanced at the side, and after talking to his sister privately, he looked at the silly and cute Qingdai and said casually: "Qingdai, prepare some medicinal food and medicinal bath at home."

Hearing Zheng Jun's words suddenly, Qingdai came back to her senses instantly. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she answered in a panic: "Ah? Oh, oh, okay, sir, leave everything to me."

"I don't worry about your work."

Zheng Jun smiled and said, "Oh, right, ask Tongzhouhui to help me find some basic sword techniques. They don't need to be too powerful, just basic ones. Refer to the Pijia Dao, which is at the same level."

"Ok!"

Although she didn't know why Zheng Jun was looking for those basic sword techniques, Qingdai still carefully wrote down Zheng Jun's instructions and decided to go find Protector Yuan later and ask him to do it.

After hearing this, Zheng Jun no longer had any worries. He stepped on a pair of cloud-climbing boots and walked out of the Zheng Mansion.

"All troops assemble, set off!"

……

Rongyuan County, Bingmasi Parade Ground.

In the captain's tent, Song Ran had a gloomy face. In front of him sat several landlords and gentry in gorgeous clothes, discussing the situation together.

"According to reliable information, Zheng Jun passed through Pingyun County yesterday and killed the 'Four Tigers of the Lu Family' in Pingyun County. Calculating the time, he should have returned to Heishan County. He will attack us in a few days. What do you plan to do?"

Song Ran, with calluses on his hands, looked at the gentry around him and said in a very serious tone, "Do you plan to learn from the remaining weaklings in Heishan County and surrender, and give the money and land that your ancestors have worked so hard to save to those damn peasants, or do you plan to rise up and fight that Zheng guy?"

"If we can fight, we will fight. No one here wants to throw away the wealth accumulated by our ancestors."

A landlord with a mustache frowned and said to Song Ran, "But... Zheng Jun is really too cruel. I sent someone to the county town to inquire about the news. He beat General Han Hu five or six times in the county town. He made the originally irritable and perverse General Han Hu very humble. He even dared not to take the empty salary, for fear of encountering someone like Zheng Jun again."

"Then, the guard I sent passed through Langkang County and learned that Zheng Jun had killed the county's chief clerk Jin. The county magistrate of Langkang County, Su, did not dare to fight Zheng Jun at all and was directly scared away by Zheng Jun's momentum...Captain Song, we have encountered such a ruthless guy, what can we do? We can just pay for his life and leave a descendant for our ancestors."

After that, the landlord with a mustache sighed again, "Brother Hu is still sensible. When Zheng attacked the brothers in Heishan County, he sold his land at a low price and moved to Changyang County. It is said that he bribed the steward of the Prince's Mansion with a lot of money, so he settled down in Changyang County."

"They are resting on their laurels, but we are moving too slowly and it is too late to complain!"

A white-haired old woman wearing gold and silver jeers snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, then don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige! Song Dutou asked us all to come here, so of course he has his own ideas. If that's the case, then let's listen to what Song Dutou has to say! If Song Dutou is sure, we'll fight no matter what!"

"My grandchildren have never touched water since they were young. If they were forced to farm with the peasants like those weaklings in Heishan County, they would be better off dead!"

After hearing the words of the white-haired old woman, everyone turned their eyes to Song Ran, Song Dutou.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Song Ran exhaled and told them his plan: "To be honest, I have been the head of Rongyuan County for these years and have more than 50 confidants. These confidants are all from the Song family, and they share my glory and disgrace."

"Zheng Jun's intentions are obviously very big, and my family will definitely not be spared... So, I risked my life to buy some weapons, trained well, practiced day and night, and just waited for an opportunity to act!"

Song Ran said, "At that time, I will hold a banquet to entertain Zheng Jun on the pretext of surrendering. When Zheng Jun comes alone, I will set up a formation and kill him with the power of the formation! I hope that after Zheng Jun dies, you can work together, mobilize money, ask the superiors to mediate, and frame the Black Mountain Bandits for Zheng Jun's death. What do you think?"

There was a slight commotion outside the door, but the meeting was at an urgent moment, so Song Ran ignored it and looked at everyone present.

The landlord with a mustache hesitated and said, "Although Zheng Jun is a Qi accumulation, his skills are comparable to those of the outer Qi... Captain Song, can it succeed? If not, he will die without a burial place."

"You can pretend not to know beforehand, and you just need to take action afterwards. If it fails, it will be my family's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you."

Song Ran said coldly: "After I formed the formation, the first three sword strikes I made were as powerful as the outer energy! This is the bond of my Song family disciples. When Zheng Jun was caught off guard, three outer energy strikes were enough to kill him!"

His words were filled with unstoppable confidence.

Seeing Song Ran say this, the landlord with a mustache was still hesitating, and the white-haired old woman said, "Okay! If Song Dutou can kill Zheng Jun, I will definitely intercede for you! My family has a close relationship with the county magistrate, and my deceased old man saved the county magistrate's life!"

Seeing that the white-haired old woman was the first to express her opinion, Song Ran smiled.

Seeing this, the landlord with a mustache gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, my family has a history with the Inspector, let's do it!"

"Don't worry, Captain Song. Although my family doesn't know the officials in the county, we are familiar with the Magistrate of Langkang. We will be able to speak to you when the time comes."

"That's right, the chief clerk of Xinyang County is my uncle, so this little matter should be fine!"

"..."

Several other second-tier gentry and powerful men spoke up one after another.

Who doesn’t have some connections these days?
Even if it doesn't matter, you have to report it at least once.

After all, everyone was shouting, and if you didn't shout, it was not a question of being unsociable, but a question of possibly tipping off Zheng Jun.

Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Song Ran couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

But at this moment, a clear and loud young voice came from between them: "Yes, I agree! After you kill Zheng Jun, I will explain to the county governor in person, and he will never blame you!"

The voice appeared so suddenly that everyone present was stunned.

Where did the sound come from?

That's what everyone thinks.

Even Song Ran felt confused and his hair stood on end.

Suddenly, a figure flew towards them at a high speed, and the next second, it crashed directly into the table, smashing it into pieces.

The figure who knocked over the table was a man in armor, and his eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Song Ran.

After seeing this man, Song Ran couldn't help but be shocked and shouted, "Second brother!"

This person is Song Ran’s personal guard captain and also Song Ran’s brother!

In the next second, Zheng Jun, wearing cloud-climbing boots and carrying a knife on his waist, suddenly appeared in front of them and smiled warmly: "Don't worry, I will explain to the county magistrate."

Seeing Zheng Jun, Song Ran's brain froze for a few seconds, and he blurted out subconsciously: "How did you get in?"

After saying this, Song Ran saw a cold light flash past in front of him. The next second, his eyes went dark and he felt that the world was spinning.

Dizziness and tearing pain came up, and at the end, Song Ran heard a word.

"With this knife in my hand."

Then, his head fell heavily to the ground, and no sound was heard again.

When the others saw Zheng Jun's appearance, they were all horrified.

Zheng Jun, who had just killed Song Ran with a single blow, calmly put away his sword and looked at these nobles and powerful people with a smile: "I heard that you all have connections in the county?"

Under Zheng Jun's gaze, soldiers as ferocious as wolves and tigers swarmed in from outside the tent.

"what!"

"..."

Waves of screams came, echoing throughout the tent.

At this moment, in Rongyuan County, outside the Bingmasi.

Yue Kai, the Yue captain of Pingyun Guard, and Ge Weize, the Ge captain of Zhiyuan Guard, came together, feeling quite uneasy.

This time they came without any personal soldiers, and the two came alone.

This way, walk faster.

Moreover, they were very clear that bringing their personal soldiers with them would be of no use.

If Zheng Jun really wanted to kill them, the only difference between bringing their personal soldiers and not bringing them would be that if they brought their personal soldiers, more people would die and be buried with them.

So, there is nothing to bring.

The two walked together, feeling quite bitter towards each other.

This reminded them of how they felt when they were at the front line in Yunzhou and learned that the demons and the Northern Rong were attacking.

I felt the same sense of uneasiness in my heart.

However, when they arrived at Bingmasi, they were shocked by the scene before them.

One by one, the soldiers were stripped of their armor, leaving only their white undershirts. They were handcuffed, blindfolded, and kneeling in the snow with their scapula pierced. There were as many as forty or fifty of them.

On both sides, there stood soldiers with indifferent expressions, fully armored, and holding very strange swords. They did not recognize these soldiers very well.

Further away, their weapons were confiscated and they were imprisoned together, watching these ordinary county soldiers with their hands tied.

"what happened?"

Seeing this scene, Yue Kai was immediately surprised: "What happened? Where is Song Ran? Where did Song Ran go?"

Just as he was asking in a low voice, he suddenly heard a loud voice: "The time has come, kill!"

"Crack!"

With the command, dozens of people were killed and their heads were chopped off.

Blood gushed out for a moment, and then someone immediately came forward with a bucket to clean the blood, preparing to escort the second group of people up to be beheaded.

Seeing this, Yue Kai couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Ge Weize on the side also had a bad look on his face. When he heard Yue Kai asking where Song Ran had gone, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and pointed at several spears outside the tent.

There were seven or eight heads on the spear.

The first head belonged to Song Ran, who died with his eyes open and full of shock.

Ge Weize didn't recognize the rest.

But he recognized the white-haired old woman. She was the famous, extremely cruel, and vicious martial artist in Pingzhang County, the widow of the Yu family.

The rest of the people were mostly the gentry of Rongyuan County!

Seeing this scene, Ge Weize and Yue Kai immediately gasped and their faces turned pale.

It’s not that they haven’t seen dead people, but they have never seen... dead people of this status being executed together.

Especially since they were both summoned...

Thinking of this, they both felt even heavier in their hearts.

At this moment, Du Ding, who was in front of them, holding a big knife, came up to the two men and said respectfully, "Captain Yue, Captain Ge, the general is calling you into the tent to report."

The two men looked at each other, then followed Du Ding's footsteps and stepped into the big tent.

At this moment, Zheng Jun was sitting in the main general's seat, looking at the military affairs of Rongyuan County very calmly, and ignored Yue and Ge who came in.

The two men did not hesitate, and immediately knelt on one knee, saluted and said: "Your Majesty Yue Kai/Ge Weize, greets the general!"

"Get up."

Zheng Jun heard this and spoke casually without any excessive emotion. He said casually: "Song Ran colluded with these guys and wanted to murder me. I have already discovered and killed them. Song Ran's personal soldiers are all descendants of the Song family, and they should all be executed."

Ge Weize said quickly: "Song Ran has himself to blame, luckily the general is safe!"

Zheng Jun nodded, looked up at the two of them, and said, "I'm very happy that you came to see me. From now on, we are comrades in the army. I hope you don't throw your lives away like Song Ran did."

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, the two of them remained silent and just bowed.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun knew that these three guards had completely submitted to him.

So Zheng Jun opened his mouth and said, "Next, I want to rectify the gentry and powerful people in the four counties and search for the black mountain bandits and undercover treacherous villains among them. What do you think?"

Yue Kai bowed and said, "Just follow the general's orders. I will do my best to complete the general's orders!"

"Very good. First, take the soldiers from Rongyuan County and raid the families outside whose heads are hanging on spears."
