Chapter 189 Fierce
The villagers fully expressed their feelings of farewell to Yang Ze. Yang Ze not only helped them not only harm the tiger's disaster, but also gave them 400 coins of copper coins. It was originally said that 200 coins were worth 200 coins, but Yang Ze took out 200 coins to support the village to set up a school so that all the children in the village could go to school.
Stimulated by the emergence of a prodigy in the village, all villagers with children wanted their children to study. No matter who it is, they thought their children were good and not worse than other people's. Since the feng shui of this village is so good, then two prodigy will also be produced, and there are ten or eight, which is probably possible.
Yang Ze led the convoy to cross Taiping Hill and entered the plains. He rushed on the road every day. He traveled thousands of miles a day. Then he left the plain, crossed mountains and ridges, walked hundreds of miles a mountain road, and then entered the arid areas. After walking hundreds of miles in the arid areas, he entered the edge of the grassland. Going northwest, he was an endless grassland. On the other side of the grassland was the Gobi Desert, which was equivalent to leaving the border of the Dafang Empire and entering the territory of the foreign country.
The place where Yang Ze wanted to be a county magistrate was on the edge of the grassland, which was almost the last city of the Dafang Empire. The county was named Zhenxi County. It was once the garrison of the former army to march to the northwest. After the army to march westward, it used the walls of the military camp to build a city wall and built a small county town. In order to consolidate the northwest and strengthen defense, the emperor of the former dynasty regarded this place as a place for exiling prisoners, and sent prisoners here to reclaim land and defend the border.
Time has passed and the world has changed. Zhenxi County is still the same. The land on the map is hundreds of miles in radius. If it is placed in the Central Plains, it is larger than a place under a state, but the population is just over 10,000, and the people here cannot be said to have a criminal record. However, seven or eight out of ten are not good people, the people are strong in the people's customs, and the government has almost no administrative power here. Fortunately, the robbers' nest is peaceful, so no major cases have occurred. Even if there are any major cases, it will happen in the surrounding areas of Zhenxi County. If rabbits do not eat grass by the nest, the robbers will not steal their own homes!
When Yang Ze entered the boundary of Zhenxi County, it was already the middle of winter. The northwest was bitter and cold, and the winter was even colder. The north wind was covered with snowflakes. Looking around, the distance between the eyes was white, as if there was only one color between the heaven and the earth.
After walking all the way, Yang Ze purchased all the way. He knew that Zhenxi County was a poor and poor place. There must be no business, so he went all the way and bought specialties along the way, especially tea. He specialized in buying old tea for the next year, as long as it was cheap, and he didn't expect the people in Zhenxi County to drink good tea. Of course, he had prepared some good tea and planned to give it to the former prince.
The large trucks in the convoy have increased to more than 30, not only with salt, but also with many weapons, fabrics, seasonings and other items. Yang Ze has prepared some for every daily necessity.
At noon that day, Yang Ze led the convoy to the turn of a big river. The big river was already frozen. There was a slow hill in the open space at the turn. Zhenxi County was built on the hill, which was considered to be a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Yang Ze rode on the horse and looked at the county town for a while, speechless!
I saw that Zhenxi County Town ahead was really not small, surrounding the gentle slope of the entire hill. It was not twenty miles in a radius, but also seventeen or eighteen miles. It cannot be called a small county town. It is estimated that if it is full of people, there will be more than one hundred thousand.
But although the city is not small, the city wall is really too dilapidated. A better place, that is, the city wall at the entrance of the city gate, can the city wall be about two meters high. Apart from the city gate, other city walls are too dilapidated. There are even some places where the city wall is only more than one person high. What’s even more annoying is that the city wall is not complete, but it is actually a section, all with big gaps!
Is this city something I want to manage? Yang Ze sighed in his heart.
Tan Zhengwen rushed to the front of the team. He was wrapped in a leather jacket, wearing a dog-skin hat, covering his face tightly, revealing only his eyes. Tan Zhengwen said: "Master, this is Zhenxi County? We are not at the wrong place, right?"
Yang Ze said: "The map is marked here. Judging from the terrain, it should be correct!"
"Is this city or a cottage? Can such a city wall block the enemy? The gap on the city wall is wider than the city gate!" Tan Zhengwen said.
Yang Ze sighed and said, "This place where birds do not shit, even if the city is high and the pool is deep, can you keep it? After walking for five or six days, do you see another city?"
Fu Bingrong and the others rushed up, and when they heard Yang Ze's words, they all remained silent. They had not seen the city for several days, and they had not even seen a village or town. It was no exaggeration to describe this place as a barren land.
Yang Ze said to Bingrong: "You ride over first, go to the city to find the county government, and tell the people inside that I'm here. Also, ask where the former prince was under house arrest. I'm going to visit him today."
Fu Bingrong agreed and rode his horse to the county town. Yang Ze led the convoy to walk over slowly.
At this time, the coachman leader in the convoy came over and wanted Yang Ze to check out the bill after entering the city. They would go home early and walk faster. They probably could go home for the New Year. Because they bought too many things and there were not enough servants in the Yan family, Yang Ze hired a group of coachman to drive the bus. The coachman was greedy for the money he gave, so he was willing to take this trip. Now that they arrived at the place, they of course did not want to waste time. As Yang Ze said just now, who would be willing to stay in this place where birds do not shit?
Yang Ze promised the coachmen that as soon as they arrived at the place, they would check out the bill and let them rush home early.
I walked forward for a long time. It was not easy to walk in the snow. I spent a lot of time, but I didn’t go far. I could still see Fu Bingrong in front of me. He had not yet entered the city!
But at this critical moment, a large group of people suddenly emerged from the broken city. These people were all wearing tattered leather jackets, but they were all riding tall horses, holding big swords in their hands, and roaring towards Yang Ze and the others!
Fu Bingrong walked in the front and had already followed the city gate. In fact, it was the same whether he could walk or not. There were big gaps everywhere on the city walls, and he could go to the city anywhere. He suddenly saw so many people running out, and he felt bad immediately. These people didn't seem to be here to greet them, but instead seemed to be here to rob them!
Yang Ze in the distance also saw that he saw the people running out, and they could not be considered ordinary people. They looked more vicious than each other, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were robbers!
The horse team had a total of forty or fifty people. After rushing out of the city, they began to scream and let the horse come to Fu Bingrong!
No matter how much Fu Bingrong said, he still had the title of capturing a general. If he had martial arts, he would never be considered bad. But he was not here to fight at this time. He came to report the news. He did not bring a bow and arrow immediately, but only a waist knife he carried with him!
He pulled out the knife when he brushed the ground and Fu Bingrong shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? We are here to take office. My eldest son Yang Ze is the new county magistrate of Zhenxi County. What are you doing... Oh, are you going to do it now!"
The knights who rushed out, although they were ragged, were extremely strong. Before they could rush to Fu Bingrong, they took out the rope cover and threw several rope covers like a horse, trapping Fu Bingrong. Fu Bingrong was still catching the generals. Before he could catch someone else's survivor, he was caught by the knights first!
The two knights dismounted and pressed Fu Bingrong to the ground. They took action together. In an instant, they took off his leather jacket, such as the waist knife and the gold and silver in their pockets, and only Fu Bingrong left a pair of pants!
Fu Bingrong was shocked. He did not expect that the people in the northwest border would be so fierce. If you have the skills, they are much more powerful than the Yulin Army in the capital. Even Ningbei Road, which is also on the frontier, cannot find such a fierce soldier, just like a wild beast!
He shouted, "Master, run away, these people are robbers, and they are not good people!"
Even if he didn't shout, Yang Ze knew, because the torn knights had already rushed to him!
Yang Ze shouted: "Who are you? Why do you want to tie up my subordinates? I am the new county magistrate and an official..."
What officials are not officials? The treasure knights all looked shining, and several people shouted: "There are so many cars, they are fat sheep, they are fat sheep!"
His uncle, he treats us as fat sheep and wants to steal us. Is this Zhenxi County or a robber's nest?
Tan Zhengwen shouted: "It's bad. Zhenxi County was captured by the barbarians of the foreign country. We are the sheep entering the tiger's mouth and will be captured by the enemy!"
Yang Ze shouted without saying a word, "Escape quickly, run quickly, don't stop here!" He drove away!
But in terms of riding skills and the quality of the horses under the crotch, Yang Ze and the others are far inferior to those of the Treasure Knight. They are far inferior. Although their horses are good, they can only be considered mounts and can barely be considered war horses. However, the horses of the Treasure Knights are definitely at the level of war horses, and they are at the highest level, which is incomparable!
Before Yang Ze could run far, several rope condoms flew over together. One of the rope condoms just caught Yang Ze and pulled him off the horse!
After Yang Ze was caught, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and found that most of the people on his side had been caught. Tan Zhengwen and Mugen were also pulled down, while Yan Chenghou and his servants were still running around, but it seemed that they could not escape far, so they had to be caught. As for those coachmen, they did not need to be caught by the ragged knights, they all squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms and surrendered early!
There was no power to fight back. Under the powerful attack power of the brute knights, Yang Ze and the others became prisoners together!
Chapter completed!
