The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

Liu An was stunned for a while, really not knowing what to do. The other rogues around him were all in a panic, eager to tie up Liu An and send him to the other party, hoping to exchange their lives. It wasn't until after a while that Liu An relented, fell to his knees all of a sudden, and hurriedly begged the young man in front of him for mercy.

Seeing this, the rest of the rogues also knelt on the ground.

"Little hero, spare your life, spare your life. I, I'm also deceived by others, it's all Niu Hai, it's Niu Hai who made me do this. Liu An doesn't care about anything, and the most important thing at the moment is to save his life.

"You don't need to lie in front of me, since I know that your name is Liu An, I can naturally know your details." There was no trace of pity on Zu Zhao's cold cheeks, and his tone was more like this icy and snowy climate, which made people shiver in their bones.

When Liu An heard this, his face was as white as paper, and he was hesitant for a while, and he couldn't say anything else.

"You should be glad that I accidentally killed Niu Hai and the other thieves when I ambushed him. So you can still say a few more words, and if you do, it will also give you a dog's life. After a slight pause, Zu Zhao said slowly.

"Huh? Yes, yes, the villain knows everything. Please, beg the little hero to spare my dog's life. As if he had a life-saving straw, Liu An hurriedly nodded and begged for mercy.

"Who instructed you to plunder Lingzhi County this time?" Zu Zhao asked bluntly.

"Huh? This...... The villain really doesn't know. The villain also followed these gangs of rogues to come and go, taking the opportunity to cause some trouble, to see if they could make a mouthful of food, that's all..."Liu An was stunned at first, and then hurriedly said nonsense.

Zu Zhao didn't wait for Liu An to finish speaking, he put away the halberd in his hand, quickly took off the horse bow from his back, bent the bow and opened the string, and shot an arrow at Liu An without hesitation. This arrow hit Liu An in the shoulder, and the arrow edged out through the flesh, and the powerful impact even knocked Liu An to the ground. The flesh and bones penetrated, as if the pain of drilling the heart, Liu An screamed heartbreakingly, struggling to twist his body, and his throat was about to smell bloody and salty.

"If you don't have a word of value in your mouth, it doesn't make any sense to keep you." Zu Zhao looked indifferently at Liu An, who was rolling on the ground, and took out the second feather arrow from the quiver without hesitation.

"Don't, don't, hero, spare your life, I say, I'll say anything..." He really didn't expect that this Zu Zhao turned out to be a ruthless character, he didn't play cards according to the routine at all, he originally planned to delay for a while, since it was valuable, he should make good use of it, but the result...

"Say." Zu Zhao put the longbow aside, but the arrow in his hand was not withdrawn.

"Yes, it's Yuyang, but... The little one really doesn't know what his name is, the little one only knows that he is from Yuyang. Liu An struggled and said, and finally got up from the ground.

"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead?" Zu Zhao reprimanded, making a gesture to raise the bow in his hand.

"Heroes, heroes spare their lives, small ones... The little ones really don't dare to say big things, it's really true. If you don't believe it, if you ask the third and sixth children, they all know that the man only sent his men to negotiate with us every time, and it took us a lot of effort to figure out that his men were from Yuyang County. Liu An said with a sad face.

On his side, the two subordinates known as the third and sixth quickly nodded in agreement. Shicai pointed out to Zu Zhao that Liu An was the third child, so he should not talk big with Liu An.

"Yes, yes, really, really. That guy has a Yuyang accent.

"It just so happened that the boss told us to go to Yuyang to run errands, and I met that subordinate on the way."

Zu Zhao pondered for a moment, then put away his bow and arrows. He didn't say anything more, grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head, and after turning around, he gave Zu Cheng a look. Zu Cheng immediately beckoned all the children of the ancestral family to rush forward, detained Liu An and his subordinates and other rogues, tied them up one by one with ropes, and then sent them to the county government prison.

After that, Zu Zhao personally led the team to the county government compound to deal with the aftermath first, and arrested all the injured and surrendered rogues in the county government compound. After dealing with the affairs of the county government, Zu Zhao met with the leader of the Lingzhi County Yiyong and the county lieutenant Han Tian, and explained that Han Tian took the county Yiyong to the county to maintain order and calm the riot.

Han Tian encountered Zu Zhao's men and horses in the middle of the rout, if it weren't for the arrival of Xu Wuxian's reinforcements, not to mention that he himself would be in an extremely dangerous situation, even Lingzhi County would also suffer. Therefore, even though Zu Zhao is white at this moment, he will still obey Zu Zhao's arrangement, even if he puts aside the fact that Zu Zhao arrived in time to help, he also admires Zu Zhao's personality.

Dating back to noon today, when Zu Zhao's scout team discovered the whereabouts of Niu Hai and his party in Balipu, the children of the Zu family united with some volunteers in the county seat of Xu Wuxian, a total of about 25 or 60 people and horses were already on the official road east of Balipu. In order to avoid people's eyes, Niu Hai's team walked very remotely, so they failed to find the reinforcements led by Zu Zhao.

After learning this information from the scout team, Zu Zhao immediately made a decision and decided to quickly rush to set up an ambush in front of Niu Hai's team. Under the cover of the snow, in a small mountain forest more than 20 miles west of Lingzhi County, Zu Zhao and others made an extremely careful assault and killed more than half of Niu Hai's men on the spot, and Niu Hai was also stabbed off his horse by Zu Ji in the melee.

Zu Zhao's initial plan was to capture Niu Hai alive, and tortured Niu Hai from Niu Hai to find out who was offering a reward for his head, and specially explained that Niu Hai must be captured alive. It's a pity that the battlefield is unpredictable. Fortunately, a group of Niu Hai's subordinates were captured, and some clues were more or less tricked out by coercion and temptation. It turned out that Niu Hai was also instructed by someone to set out this time, and he also echoed with another group of thieves Liu An, who was active in Liaoxi County. But as for who instructed them, these little minions still can't say, every time Niu Hai personally connects, and the other party is just an errand runner.

In addition, these little minions also confessed that the so-called bounty was not as much as five thousand gold at all, all they knew was five hundred gold, and later deliberately exaggerated in order to recruit some dead soldiers, but it was also not as much as five thousand. As for why it was rumored to be 5,000 gold in the end, it may be a false rumor, and the more it is rumored, it is outrageous.

Regarding Niu Hai and Liu An's plan to attack Lingzhi County in partnership, these little minions confessed all of them to 1510. The reason why he wanted to attack Lingzhi County was to hope that the northern part of Youbeiping County would also be in chaos as soon as possible, and at the same time, he could contain the neighboring Xu Wu County. There are rumors that Xu Wuxian was originally going to take Xu Wuxian, but unfortunately later I heard that Xu Wuxian was preparing to recruit 800 volunteers this year, and I knew that it was as difficult as climbing to the sky when I thought about it.

Zu Zhao learned that Liu An would plant ghosts in Lingzhi County, and while creating chaos in the county seat, he took the opportunity to deceive Niu Hai and others into the city, so he planned and led the team to crouch outside the West City Gate. After the city gate was opened, he took advantage of the situation to enter, killed the thieves who deceived the city gate, and rushed directly to the county government.

happened to meet the few remaining volunteers led by the county lieutenant Han Tian near the county capital, and was thinking about mobilizing more young people in the city to fight against the Liukou. Han Tian was still a loyal man, but unfortunately he didn't expect the rogues to rob the city tonight, but knocked on doors all night in the city, signaling the people to expand the volunteer team for thieves. The Liukou suddenly seized the city, and Han Tian failed to personally command the enemy, which caused the city gate to miss so quickly.

Zu Zhao briefly informed Han Tian of the thieves' premeditated plan to attack Lingzhi County, and joined Han Tian's righteousness and bravery, and jointly set up an ambush circle in the county government, waiting for Liu An to throw himself into the net. After all, it is much more convenient to "invite you into the urn" than to take the initiative to attack, and after the rogues enter the city, they rob everywhere, and the county town is not small, and it is still very troublesome to rely on Zu Zhao and Han Tian alone.

At this time, Zu Zhao recaptured the county government and asked Han Tian's people to go to the city to quell the chaos first, and then he also sent Zu Cheng to bring another team to assist. He himself sat in the county government and personally led people to search around the county government, on the one hand, to find out all the rogues hiding in the county government, and on the other hand, to rescue Tian Xian.

found a chained firewood house in the backyard, Zu Zhao directly pulled out a knife to cut off the iron chain and kicked open the door.

"Tian Gong Cao is here?"

The firewood room was pitch black, and it took a while to see the situation inside.

Zu Zhao asked, but he didn't hear any response at all, and couldn't help frowning.

"It shouldn't be here, let's keep looking." Zu Ji, who was following Zu Zhao, said very decisively.

"Wait. Do you still need to lock a firewood room? After Zu Zhao finished speaking, he stepped over the threshold.

He suddenly smelled a frozen smell of blood floating in the air, and he couldn't help but be startled.

"Bring the torches."

"Quick, Torch." Zu Ji took the torch from a disciple behind him, followed Zu Zhao into the firewood room, and raised the torch in his hand high. The fire quickly broke through all darkness.

The firewood room is not very large, and you can see it all at a glance.

Zu Zhao saw a figure lying on the ground, there was a pool of blood on the ground at the head of the figure, and there was a sword not far away.

Zu Ji stepped forward and squatted down to check it, then turned his head and said with a puzzled and surprised face: "Eldest son, yes, it's Tian Gongcao." It's out of gas.

Zu Zhao's eyebrows frowned, and he didn't know how to understand this matter for a while, judging from the whole scene, it was obvious that Tian Xian committed suicide. After a while, he realized that Tian Xian was an upright person, but fate made him not only wronged by an incompetent county monarch, but also couldn't do his best when the county encountered such a crisis. He did give Tian Xian a letter of repair, promising that he would soon send Xu Wuyi to help the order, but Tian Xian was not sure when the reinforcements would arrive. The city gate was lost, the rogues plundered, and the county monarch fled, and it is not difficult to imagine what the situation of the county would fall into. Rather than suffer the humiliation after being captured by the rogues, it is better to take it upon yourself and die in the city.

With a long sigh, Zu Zhao said helplessly: "Alas, Tian Gongcao is a person with integrity, but it's a pity that this time he let his integrity hurt."

Zu Ji was also a little touched, and shook his head silently. After a while, he looked up and asked, "Eldest Prince, how should we deal with this matter?"

Zu Zhao said: "First take care of it, and when the county is settled, send someone to ask someone from the Tian family to collect the body."

Zu Ji nodded, and immediately beckoned a few disciples to carry Tian Xian's body away from the firewood room.

An hour later, the county seat was finally settled. Although there are still many rogues in the city, the general trend has gone, and these rogues can only hide in Tibet, and dare not openly rebel again. Han Tian sent people to all parts of the county to report the results of the rebellion, and asked each Li to organize the people of Benli to protect the safety of Benli, and then divided the volunteers into several teams to patrol and guard all parts of the city. After arranging these, he rushed to the county government to meet with Zu Zhao.

As soon as Han Tian walked into the gate of the county government, he heard a burst of crying from the public hall, both men and women, but the voices sounded so familiar. He quickened his pace with suspicion, crossed the door and walked into the public hall, and saw more than a dozen people kneeling under the hall of the public hall at a glance.

The people who were kneeling in the hall were none other than Wang Xianjun and his family.

Wang Xianjun not only ignored the majesty of the county monarch and knelt down, but also begged for mercy from Zu Zhao in the hall with tears in his eyes.

The other family members also wept silently, and the wives and children hugged each other and cried. Zu Zhao, who was standing in the hall at this moment, was not an ordinary teenager at all, but a judge who could pronounce life and death.

"Grandfather, what are you going to do here?" Han Tian was surprised, pressed his sword and ran quickly to the front of the hall, and asked Zu Zhao in the hall very excitedly.

As soon as Wang Xianjun saw Han Tian, he hurriedly knelt down in front of Han Tian, tugging on Han Tian's sleeve and crying.

"County Lieutenant Han, County Lieutenant Han save me. This, this ancestor Zhao wants to kill me! "

Bold Zu Zhao, you grass people dare to murder the dignified county king, you are guilty!" Han Tian listened to Wang Xianjun's words, and suddenly burst into a rage. Not only did he feel very strange, Zu Zhao worked tirelessly to rush to the aid of Lingzhi County, see through the conspiracy, and repel the thieves, he must not do anything inappropriate, and even if all this is not counted, Zu Zhao should not choose to attack at this time if he really wants to rebel.

What the hell is going on?

"Lord Han, my Zu Zhao is definitely not guilty of the following crimes, but what Wang Xianjun did, it is really outrageous, even if Zu Zhao does not kill him, this matter will be played to the county government and the state capital, and Wang Xianjun will definitely not escape the death penalty." Zu Zhao's face was expressionless, he also pressed his sword in his hand, and his indifferent eyes revealed a bit of glittering killing intent.

As soon as the words fell, the crowd in the hall, including Wang Xianjun, cried even louder.

"What? What the hell is this... What's going on? Han Tian asked in surprise. Although he could judge from Zu Zhao's words that there was a reason for this matter, he finally felt that this matter was too serious. It's a pity that he is alone now, and there are only three or four subordinates outside the door, and now the entire county government is full of children of the ancestral family.
