"What a bunch of unruly people." Seeing the other party leaving him alone here, Zhao Ying couldn't help but curse in his heart.
The patrolling soldier came back soon: "Our king has agreed to see you, come with me."
Zhao Ying's smile almost couldn't be stretched.
He is a dignified disciple of the Zhao family, and usually others come to see him.
When did anyone dare to make him wait?
"Brother Zhao, why are you here? I miss you so much." Zhou Kunshan gave Zhao Ying a big hug.
"I don't know what benefit you have brought to us this time, brother."
Seeing Zhou Kunshan's inexplicably excited look, Zhao Ying's anger boiled out.
On purpose, this bastard definitely did it on purpose.
What bullshit gifts and supplies were obviously snatched away by this bandit, okay?
Zhao Ying forced a smile and said: "Of course there are gifts. They are all with my entourage. I will have them delivered now."
Two large carts of food and weapons were delivered to the camp at Tianwang Mountain.
Zhao Ying had long known that Lu Dafei was greedy, shameless and would definitely demand benefits by force.
Since he is here to recruit people, he naturally cannot act too stingy.
Therefore, Zhao Ying specially prepared these gifts.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." After Zhou Kunshan accepted the gift, he looked at Zhao Ying with pity.
"I'm a brother. Are you not having a good time lately? In the past, there were dozens and hundreds of cars of gifts, but this time there are only two cars left."
"I'm really sorry, brother. If I knew you were in such a miserable state, I would never accept your gift."
……
Zhao Ying wanted to kill someone.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
There are two whole cars, and this bastard is still too small?
I tolerate it.
"Brother Lu is joking...this time I..."
Before Zhao Ying could finish his words, he was dragged to the Juyi Hall of the village by Zhou Kunshan: "Brother, it's rare for you to come here once. We won't go back until we get drunk."
The table in front of me was filled with wine and meat in a short time.
"Good brother, cheers!"
Every time Zhao Ying wanted to talk about recruiting, he was deliberately interrupted by Zhou Kunshan.
Once or twice might be a coincidence, but Zhao Ying would naturally understand that the other party did it on purpose.
Obviously, hidden under the other person's rough appearance is an extremely delicate mind.
It's not surprising, if it wasn't like this, they wouldn't have suffered from this guy several times in a row.
After struggling for more than two hours, Zhao Ying finally found an opportunity to reveal his purpose.
"Brother Lu, I know that you are a rare hero in the world. For a hero like you, it would be overkill to become a bandit."
"I wonder if you are interested in doing things for the court? Don't worry, our Zhao family court is always generous to those who have the ability, and we will never treat ministers who have made meritorious service to the court unfairly."
"Is that so..." Zhou Kunshan touched his chin, pretending to be thinking in a tangled manner.
Zhao Ying saw that there was something going on, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Lu, although I am from the Zhao family, I also admire your character."
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your descendants."
"You don't care about the reputation of a bandit and thief, but do you want your son or grandson to be regarded as a low-class thief from the moment he is born?"
"This..." Lu Dafei's eyes moved slightly, obviously shaken.
Zhao Ying knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he immediately took out a memorial and placed it in front of Zhou Kunshan.
Zhou Kunshan pretended to be displeased and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Ying, why are you playing with me? You know that my ancestor can't read, and you show this to me?"
Zhao Ying then seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly said with an apologetic smile: "Look at my memory, Brother Lu, although you don't know how to read, your knowledge and conversation are not inferior to those old gentlemen who are very knowledgeable. I always forget this. ”
"This is a memorial written by my uncle Wang, King Dongfang. The content of the memorial is to ask the court to confer Brother Lu as the Duke of the country."
"The imperial court will not reject my uncle Wang's memorial. So as long as it is sent out, Brother Lu, as the Duke of the country, will be convinced."
"From now on, your sons and grandsons will be princes of the imperial court as soon as they are born. In any case, this is better than you being a bandit, right?"
"My lord." Zhou Kunshan looked at the memorial with greed in his eyes.
Zhao Ying secretly despised him.
As expected, he is a mud-legged person who has never seen the world. Do you really think that the Duke of Guo is so great?
There are naturally many people like Lu Dafei here who have never experienced the pitfalls of officialdom.
The title of Duke may seem prominent, but it is nothing more than a title.
No matter how noble this position is, it is useless if it does not have real power.
The contents of the memorial are true, but it is uncertain whether Zhao Kongqing will submit the memorial in the future.
At that time, Lu Dafei will be the puppet in Zhao Kongqing's hands, and he will do whatever he is asked to do.
Otherwise...
Having been a bandit and having killed officers and soldiers, I wouldn't really think that it would be such a simple matter.
Of course, the current Lu Dafei obviously would not consider this.
Just by looking at his eyes, you can tell that he has been completely seduced by Zhao Kongqing's promise.
"Good brother! I knew you would be able to bring benefits to me as soon as you come here."
"Since the imperial court does not dislike Lu as a rough man, Lu is of course willing to serve the imperial court."
Although there were some twists and turns, the recruitment of An Lu Dafei turned out to be surprisingly smooth.
"Marshal Lu, my uncle Wang has already submitted the memorial. I believe that the imperial decree to confer you the title of Duke will be sent to you soon."
"But before that, we still need Brother Lu's help with some things. Recently, there have been many rebels, and we hope that Brother Lu..."
Before Zhao Ying could finish what he said, Zhou Kunshan had already slapped his chest and said with a fierce assurance: "The ungrateful rebels dare to go against the imperial court. Where are they? I will kill these guys now."
Three days later.
Zhao Ying, with two panda eyes, walked forward numbly.
He really wanted to ask Lu Dafei: "How on earth did you command this army."
The army in front of them is more like a group of ruffians than an army.
During the march in the morning, less than ten miles out, these people had already begun to complain.
The army had complaints, but Zhao Ying did not dare to force them to march.
After all, Zhao Ying has personally experienced the combat effectiveness of these guys.
What if something happens...
Zhao Ying didn't even dare to think about the consequences. Not to mention the slow march, these guys demand more than they deserve. One is that the food is not to their liking, the other is that there are too few toilets and they cannot find a place to go to the toilet, etc.
If this was one of his own subordinates who did so many bad things, he would definitely let the other party know what the majesty of military law is.
Before, they were in front of the main force of the imperial court, but now they were far behind.
"Brother Lu, we are now the army of the imperial court. Military discipline must be restrained and we cannot be as lax as before." Zhao Ying couldn't help but complain to Zhou Kunshan.
Zhou Kunshan yawned: "Brother Zhao, I understand what you mean. But brothers are used to being free in the past, and these habits cannot be changed in a day or two."
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell my brothers and ask them to calm down."
Zhou Kunshan's words had some effect.
At least, the current bandits can barely catch up with the imperial army.
After marching for another day, the imperial army was blocked.
It was the Qiangxing People's Army led by Zheng Yi.
"You rebels are so brave. The imperial army has arrived. You don't even think about how to escape, but you still dare to stand in front of the army. You really don't know how to live or die!" Zhao Kongqing was worried about how to find the main force of the rebels, but he didn't expect that they would turn out to be themselves. Delivered to your door.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
Zheng Yi didn't say a word nonsense: "The whole army attacks!"
The Xingmin Army zombies all over the mountains and plains roared towards the imperial army.
Although he looked majestic, Zhao Kongqing looked indifferent: "You don't know whether to live or die."
The Hung Min Army seems to have a large number of people, but in fact that's just because they don't have any formation now. It seems that there is a large area of Uyang and Uyang, but the real number is not as large as the number of the imperial army.
Soon, soldiers from both sides collided and a bloody battle began.
The battles in the Cangyan Realm were even more cruel than the Canglan Realm that Zheng Yi had experienced before.
After all, each of the tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides had at least a Qi refining level of cultivation.
Their strength is good, but limited by the size of the battlefield, they cannot effectively evade.
The only thing you can do is kill all the enemies in front of you.
Because of the formation, Xingmin Army took Yi Xun's name in the initial confrontation.
The distance between people is relatively large, which can effectively avoid attacks.
However, as more and more people rushed up behind them, they had no choice but to trade their lives with each other.
This situation lasted for half an hour.
Zhao Kongqing was suddenly shocked to find that his side's front was slowly retreating.
"Send my order to the supervising team. From now on, anyone who takes a step back will die!" Zhao Kongqing said with murderous intent.
Almost as soon as the order was delivered, dozens of soldiers who retreated because they could not withstand the pressure were beheaded on the spot by the supervising team.
The imperial army's slowly retreating front also stabilized due to Zhao Kongqing's timely handling.
"Let's see how long you can hold on for a guy like you." On the distant hilltop, Zhao Kongqing could already see that the number of Xingmin troops rushing out was decreasing.
After thinking about it, he summoned the messenger again: "Go tell Zheng Yi and let him take those bandits to cut off the rebel thieves' escape route. We can't let these rebel thieves escape easily!"
In the center of the battlefield, the fighting between the two sides continued.
The blood has almost dyed the earth red, and pools of blood have even formed in many places.
The morale of the Xingmin Army is still strong, and the brutal fighting does not seem to have any impact on them.
On the other hand, the imperial army's line began to slowly retreat again, even with the deterrence of the war team.
Zhao Kongqing frowned: "Have the bandit troops not arrived yet? There is no need for them to attack the flanks or rear anyway."
"Tell Lu Dafei, if he still wants to be the Duke..."
"Kill!" A loud shout came from the rear of the imperial army.
The sudden change left Zhao Kongqing at a loss.
"Damn it, I know those nasty bandits are not worthy of trust, they have no credibility at all!"
Zhao Kongqing suppressed the panic in his heart and mobilized troops to deal with Zhou Kunshan's sneak attack.
"It doesn't matter, don't worry, the rebel army is not large in number, it won't take long to eliminate them, as long as there is nothing else..."
Maybe Zhao Kongqing forgot to read the imperial calendar when he went out today?
Before the matter on Zhou Kunshan's side was resolved, another army came out from the left.
"Damn, where did these guys come from?"
Soon, he knew the purpose of this army.
"Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, you have indeed had a plan for a long time."
After discovering that a sect like the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect had emerged under his rule, Zhao Kongqing immediately realized how much of a threat this kind of thing would pose to the rule of the Zhao family.
Therefore, even at any cost, Zhao Kongqing used cruel methods to bloody suppress the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.
After that, Zhao Kongqing would show no mercy whenever he found out any news about the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.
Originally, he thought that even if the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect had not been completely eradicated, it would be riddled with holes. But now it seems that the effect is obviously not as good as I imagined.
In fact, until this battle started, the number of troops in the imperial court was still much larger than that of Zheng Yi and the others.
However, due to the continuous appearance of reinforcements from the enemy, the morale of the imperial army has fallen to the bottom.
The front line that was just retreating slowly now has some people dropping their weapons and running away.
If the supervising team hadn't chopped off a dozen more heads, the front might have collapsed just now.
"Zheng Yi, I am Zhao Kongqing, King of the East. If you have the guts, I will come out and die!" Zhao Kongqing gritted his teeth, flew directly into the air, and roared in the direction of Zheng Yi.
"And Zhou Ming, Lu Dafei, you despicable people who only know how to play tricks, get out together."
Zheng Yi also broke through the air and met Zhao Kongqing.
The imperial army still has the strength to fight. If it can kill the King of the East, the army will inevitably collapse.
In this way, their losses can be reduced a lot.
"A mere rebel dares to stand in front of me. I have to say that your courage is worth it..."
"When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down!" Zheng Yi didn't give Zhao Kongqing a chance to speak, and just used his own ultimate move.
Exuding the majesty of the king, the sword struck Zhao Kongqing's body without any obstruction...
Before the latter even had time to put up any decent resistance, he was killed on the spot by Zheng Yi with one move.
"The two armies are fighting, and thousands of soldiers are dying every moment. I don't have time to make noises with you."
Zhao Kongqing's pupils were dilated, with a look of disbelief on his face.
It seemed unbelievable that this battle would be resolved in this way.
Boom Zhao Kongqing's body crashed to the ground.
The general was beheaded on the spot, and the imperial army, which had been resisting with great difficulty, could no longer hold on and collapsed. (End of chapter)
