Chapter 16 The Red Scarf(1/2)

After running for most of the night, Li Chongjin was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. After a bowl of millet porridge, he immediately felt much better. After taking a rest with a stick of incense, the sun had risen and the temperature gradually increased.

.

Li Chongjin ordered everyone to get up and return to the city. He couldn't wait to see his uncle's expression when he knew the result of the battle. He believed that without Xu Xian's resignation, his uncle would either kick him out or continue to be a pigherder.

Everyone was exhausted after running around for half the night, but they still carried out Li Chongjin's military orders. After all, there was still a reward waiting for them.

A group of people dragged the barrels of their guns listlessly and escorted the three prisoners back along the country road. When they got to the official road and saw an ox cart, Li Chongjin had someone stop it. Zhang Yongde gave the old farmer driving the cart a handful of copper coins and asked him to pull the cart.

Take the two of them back to the city.

The oxcart creaked and creaked not far away when he heard a muffled thunder. Li Chongjin looked up and saw that the sky was blue, the sun was shining brightly, and there was not even a trace of cloud.

The soldiers behind him suddenly shouted loudly, "Dian Zhi, look behind you!"

Li Chongjin turned his head and looked around, and saw a group of people not far behind him carrying guns and chasing each other in formation. Every step of their steps was like a heavy hammer hitting the ground, causing the dust on the dry road to fly. Those who didn't know it thought they were cavalry.

Come.

Li Chongjin's face changed slightly. He couldn't figure out why the defeated soldiers still gathered together. Although he was surprised, he didn't have the slightest bit of cowardice in his heart. He just happened to have a fair showdown with the little bastard named Xu.

He immediately jumped off the bullock cart and asked his soldiers to form a team. Zhang Yongde sat cross-legged on the bullock cart and looked at the rushing Xu army. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Interesting, this man is interesting. It is not yet known who will win. Brother Zhongjin, you have

Trouble."

"I wish he could come, but these three prisoners are really shabby!" Li Chongjin shouted loudly: "Please give me some energy, and I will give you five hundred cents for each of these stinky guys."

Suddenly he felt a rumbling sound in his stomach and a faint urge to defecate. Li Chongjin couldn't help but cursed secretly, this really happened at the wrong time.

Seeing his ugly face, Zhang Yongde asked, "What's wrong with Brother Chongjin?"

"It's okay!" Li Chongjin waved his hand and sneered, taking out a pair of bows and arrows.

Archery is actually a difficult skill. Ancient bows are not the kind of bows used in later generations' playgrounds. Even the antique bows and arrows seen in Inner Mongolia have been improved.

Just how difficult it is, Xu Xian tried it with the old Zhang family's bow. Even if the target was only five or six steps away from him, he could still go to his grandma's house.

To put it simply, being able to pierce an enemy with a hundred steps is a very high level for a shooter. As for someone who can pierce an enemy with a hundred steps while riding a horse, he can be called a marksman.

Guo Wei once asked the military masters to train Li Chongjin and Chai Rong well. Although the two were far from being perfect archers, they were still considered proficient in bow and horse.

Among the more than 100 people he selected this time, there were several who were good at archery. Li Chongjin also asked them to aim at Xu Xian. As long as Xu Xian came within fifty steps, they would "shoot" him, and the battle would be easy.

's over.

Seeing Xu Xian getting closer and closer, Li Chongjin, who was standing on the bullock cart, took out an arrow from his quiver, and it actually had an iron arrowhead. When Zhang Yongde saw it, he immediately reminded him, "Brother Chongjin, you have violated the rules!"

"Haoyi, if you don't tell me who knew I was the one who shot you, are you really going to betray me in front of His Majesty? Isn't your relationship with me worse than that of an outsider?"

Zhang Yongde persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Chongjin, I am doing this for your own good. His Majesty will be unhappy!"

"I didn't insist on killing him. I gave him a chance to live before, but he refused to give up. There are so many people dying these days, not least this one, His Majesty can't take care of it."

As he spoke, Li Chongjin put the arrow on the bow and slowly pulled it out. This was Zhang Yishi's strong bow, which required a little effort. Li Chongjin aimed at Xu Xian's hand and kept applying more force. Suddenly, he heard a thunderbolt from his pants...



It wasn't Li Chongjin's supernatural power that forced the bow to break, but his pants were wet. Li Chongjin's "thunder" was like a boulder thrown into the water, causing thousands of waves, and the "thunder" came and went in the crowd.

, some people threw down their guns and plunged into the fields, some even took off their pants on the spot, and the originally good officialdom suddenly became filthy.

What is this? Zhang Yongde was almost dumbfounded. Just when he was confused, he suddenly felt a knife twisting in his stomach. He seemed to understand something at that moment. He looked at Li Chongjin who was standing on the ox cart and sighed: "Chongjin

Brother Jin has fallen into a trap!" Then he rushed into the millet field with his legs folded.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Xu Xian said to Yin Simiao: "I thought you had to fight hard with your croton powder, but now it seems that the good marksmanship of the brothers is no longer needed."

"How could it be? I bought good croton flour from the drug store, and the price is not cheap!"

Li Chongjin, who was standing in a daze on the bullock cart, suddenly jumped down and stabbed Xu Xian in the chest with a sharp arrow in his hand. Without Xu Xian's instructions, the soldiers behind him stepped forward with their guns drawn and shouted in unison, "Kill!"

Although he shouted with murderous intent, the several gun barrels that were thrown out in a mess were really hard to see, but they also stabbed Li Chongjin to the ground. Xu Xian looked at him and said, "You lost!" He even slapped his nose, "It stinks!"

"

On a hot summer day, Guo Wei was in low spirits after watching the memorial all morning. He was about to take a nap and continue working in the afternoon. As soon as he lay down, someone came to report that the contest between Li Chongjin and Xu Xian was over. Everyone was now at the polo ground. He

He didn't even care about sleeping anymore, so he got up and headed to the polo field.

Ever since the fight between Xu and Li, Guo Wei had been paying close attention to the good young man selected by Li Chongjin who worked hard every day to practice swords and guns, while Xu Xian was running circles around Bianliang City every day to practice some messy stuff.

He had not touched a sword or a gun a few times. In his opinion, the outcome was determined. At least Li Chongjin could remain invincible.

When he saw Li Chongjin, who was tied up and covered in filth on the polo field, he couldn't believe his eyes. Zhang Yongde held up two booklets and handed them to them. Guo Wei stood under the sun and read the pages carefully, and then used incredulous expressions to read them.

He said in a tone of voice: "It's really shameless that such a cruel move is possible."

Xu Xian hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty and said: "I know that I am not as powerful as Li Dianzhi, so I have to use some shady tricks. Please punish me."

"I was wrong, haha... If you win, you win. No one on the battlefield will care whether you win honorably or not. Besides, soldiers are crafty and can annihilate the enemy and win with good strategies."

Guo Wei smiled and walked in front of the neat queue. The dissatisfaction when he first met was gone from his eyes, as if everyone was his nephew who made him happy. He also reached out and patted the kid on the shoulder, "You look more square!"

He is a veteran in the army. How could he not see the value of this team? The soldiers who had been dispersed were still quickly gathering in another place. Even his personal soldiers could not do it.

Guo Wei's greatest skill is not cunning or bravery, but his ability to win over people. Xu Xian finally trained him, and he immediately took notice of him. Everyone rewarded him with five pieces of silk, and Xu Xian doubled the reward with ten pieces.

Those who lost were also rewarded with a horse, so everyone was satisfied.

Guo Wei said to Xu Xian again: "Please untie Chongjin. He will be your superior officer from now on. It's not good to have a quarrel!"

Li Chongjin knelt down and said: "Wei Chen and Xu have made an agreement in advance. Whoever loses will get out of the palace."

"Hmph! It's useless! Is the agreement between you two more important than my will? This time you neglected and underestimated the enemy. If you lose, you can only take it as a lesson. What's the big deal! You are my nephew, how can I have less of them around me?

You!"

Li Chongjin knelt down and sobbed: "I am ashamed of myself. Everything is in compliance with His Majesty's will."

"Well, from now on you only need to take care of the front four classes, and leave the bottom four classes to Bao Yi." Guo Wei looked at Xu Xian again, "You, the 100th person, will be promoted to the first capital, and you will be assigned to the bottom four classes."

The class is under the jurisdiction of Baoyi, and you will be the boss from now on."

Xu Xian thanked Guo Wei for the promotion and sighed secretly. If Li Chongjin were to be his immediate boss, he wouldn't know how many shoes he would have to wear. Fortunately, it was Zhang Yongde... Hey, the way he looked at himself seemed to be the same.

It's very unkind. I forgot that he also ate the drugged porridge. Seeing that he was still secretly lifting his buttocks, 80% of the medicine had not worn off.

"Xu Xian! Xu Xian! What are you thinking about? You can lose your mind right under my nose!"

Xu Xian quickly covered it up: "Weichen was just thinking about what Weichen should be called."

"Haha -" Guo Wei sneered, "It's not like in the early days, each of them had thousands or tens of thousands of troops, but there are more than a hundred people. What name do you want? That's all, since you want it, I will give you one!"

The Guardian Army does not protect the Saint, and the Fengguo Army does not serve the country, but the name is indeed good. It sounds much better than Long Jie and Hu Jie, which Guo Wei came up with in half a day. Guo Wei is obviously not good at naming. He stroked his beard

After murmuring for a while, he said: "I see that all your men have red scarves wrapped around their arms, so let's call them red scarves."

Guo Wei added: "But there is one person under your command who cannot stay in front of the palace!"

"Which one is your Majesty talking about?"

Zhang Yongde said: "You have a spy who was bribed by Li Dianzhi. Don't you know that the guards in front of the palace are related to His Majesty's safety? Such people must not be retained."

Guo Wei said: "How could he not know that he was probably pointing to this trick to lure him back into the trap along the way?"

Guo Wei was right. Xu Xian indeed used this trick to lure Li Chongjin to track him. He subconsciously looked at Liu Shanzi. This was the purpose of accepting Liu Shanzi in the first place. When he escaped, he kept dragging Liu Shanzi to prevent him from attacking.

Li Chongjin spread the word.

Everyone in the Red Scarf City followed Xu Xian's gaze and looked at Liu Shanzi. A Liang kicked him to the ground, "Well, Liu Shanzi, I sacrificed my face and begged the capital to accept you, but you took it seriously.

"

Liu Shanzi looked aggrieved, "Dutou, A-Liang, brothers, you all suspect that I am a craftsman? It's really not me. How can I be such a heartless person!"

Zhang Yongde said: "You still don't admit it. He used soybeans as a secret sign to guide Li Dianzhi along the way. You will know if he has any soybeans on him."

A Liang and Dakui immediately started to take action, but they stripped Liu Shanzi naked and found no soy beans on him. A Liang cursed: "You bastard, have you already lost the soy beans?"

Liu Shanzi said with a bitter face: "A Liang is really not me. If you don't believe me, just kill me with one knife."

Li Chongjin suddenly laughed and said: "You have indeed wronged him. After I kicked him out, I never contacted him again." He glanced at the people in the Red Scarf Capital and said, "Come out by yourself. I forgot to call you.

What’s the name?”

Suddenly someone in the red scarf's queue took a step forward and knelt down in front of Xu Xian with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, Du Tou, it's me who's doing the fine work!"

"How could Shuisheng be you!" Xu Xian's face was full of astonishment. In just a short moment, he had doubted the heartless A Liang, the brainless Da Kui, and the unscrupulous Li Mobai. He had absolutely no doubts at all about the usually meanest dog.

The legs are aquatic.

Shuisheng tilted his head and looked at Li Chongjin, "He forced me. If I don't listen to him, he will make my whole family die."

Xu Xian glanced at Li Chongjin and said to A Liang: "You heard what I said just now. No matter what reason you have for not being able to accommodate you, get out of here and remember to return the settlement fee."

"Yes!" Shui Sheng responded with tears in his eyes. He took off the red scarf from his arm and placed it at Xu Xian's feet. He stood up and left.

When Shui Sheng passed by Li Chongjin, Li Chongjin suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife from Lao Mu's waist and stabbed Shui Sheng in the back of the heart. His face was ferocious and he was gnashing his teeth, as if the person he was killing was Xu Xian, and he wanted to use this knife to kill Shui Sheng.

Vent all your anger.

He pulled out the knife with a forceful stir, and the aquatic corpse fell straight to the ground, with its head tilted and eyes wide open. Li Chongjin put the knife back to Old Mu Tou and looked at the crowd with a sneer, "It's too much to go like this."

It’s easier on him!”
