Chapter 233: Blitz! Defeat the enemy! [Thanks to everyone for your support! Bow again!

Xu Zaijing, who was deep in thought, rode his horse to the wooden fence,

After dismounting, he patted Xiao Li Ju's neck and drilled out of the wooden fence.

In the racetrack, Alan and Xunshu were busy removing the saddle.

After walking for a while, he arrived at Sun Shi's courtyard.

Entering the front hall, he saw his eldest brother-in-law Gu Tingyu sitting and talking with Sun Shi.

"Brother-in-law."

"Brother Jing, come sit here."

After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he continued to Sun Shi:

"Mistress, don't worry, this matter has already been settled in the court, the Jinghai Marquis Great House has been given an errand by the Emperor, and the Fifth House looks like it's going to rise."

Sun Shi nodded with satisfaction:

"Early this morning, Pan Daniang from their Fifth House invited Da Niangzi Wu to our house, saying that their Fifth House will not break off this marriage."

Gu Tingyu nodded and said: "Mistress, I see that after this incident, the Emperor will definitely investigate the Dengzhou navy strictly. Unless the Great House of the Jinghai Marquis makes a contribution, the inheritance of the title..."

As he spoke, Gu Tingyu shook his head.

"Are the consequences for their family so serious?"

Gu Tingyu said:

"Mistress, it is mainly because their Great House messed up the errand given by the Emperor, and instead of reflecting and improving, they were arrogant about their contributions. The most important thing is that the materials lost were military supplies."

"Yu'er, are you saying they might be selling military weapons..."

Gu Tingyu nodded:

"This kind of thing doesn't need evidence, just suspicion! Their Third and Fourth Houses are in inland river water transport, and there are few opportunities to make contributions. And the Fifth House, as long as they handle this errand well, it will be a great contribution."

Xu Zaijing listened and interrupted: "Brother-in-law, are you saying the Eleventh Brother's father will inherit the title?"

"That depends on how the errand is handled, and whether there is anyone in the court."

Gu Tingyu finished and said: "Go, Brother Jing, let's go to your courtyard to take a look. Mistress, I'll go over first."

"Yu'er, eat lunch here."

"Mistress, my wife is waiting for me."

Sun Shi shook her head with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, please."

On the way to Xu Zaijing's courtyard, Gu Tingyu's smile slowly disappeared.

Entering the study, Gu Tingyu looked at Xu Zaijing's schoolwork and nodded in approval before saying:

"Let them go out first."

Xu Zaijing waved his hand.

Qingcao understood and exited the study, taking the Yunxiang sisters to under the grape trellis in the courtyard.

Gu Tingyu sat at the desk and held the tea cup:

"Little Five, at this time, Prince Yan should already know that his only son's legs were broken by you. What are your thoughts?"

Xu Zaijing pondered for a moment before:

"Brother-in-law, you reminded me to write to the Xie family before. This time, after his only son's legs were broken, I think Prince Yan will definitely retaliate after knowing this, either against me or against the Marquis estate's relatives."

Gu Tingyu's eyes were full of laughter: "Then do you have any way to deal with it?"

Xu Zaijing looked at Gu Tingyu and didn't know what he was thinking,

Pondered for a while before saying: "I haven't thought of it yet."

"It's very good to be able to think of this point. Leave this matter to me."

"Yes, Brother-in-law."

"You still have to be cautious in the future."

"Hmm."

"Then I'll go back first, your sister is waiting for me to eat."

After lunch,

In the afternoon,

Xu Zaijing called Alan and Xunshu to his side.

"Alan, in eight hours, how many horses in the stable can run five hundred li?"

"Young Master, eight horses."

"Prepare them all by Mao hour tomorrow morning, I have a use for them."

"Yes, Young Master."

Xu Zaijing's master watched his apprentice organizing his weapons,

He dragged his lame leg over and said: "Who are you going to fight?"

"Prince Yan, no, it's Prince Yan's subordinates."

The master's single eye was full of surprise:

"What?"

"Master, Prince Yan, this kind of person, raising dead soldiers and assassins, should be in the bandit dens around, right? So, I want to pull out Prince Yan's claws to prevent him from retaliating against the Marquis estate!"

"You... what you said also counts as right, but the Prince's stewards and servants are all registered. But Bianjing is five hundred li away from Prince Yan's fief, so how can you determine which one is raised by Prince Yan's mansion?"

"Just wipe them all out! It can also be considered eliminating harm for the people!"

"Did the Gu family's eldest son come to tell you this?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "No, I didn't tell brother-in-law. If I told him, he definitely wouldn't let me go."

"Then why did you tell your master?"

"Because you understand my skills!"

The groom looked at Xu Zaijing and sighed:

"Fine, don't pick the night, in case there are traps or something, it's even more dangerous. With your skills, just smash your way in."

"If you can use a bow and arrow, don't get close."

"Yes, Master."

By night, Xu Zaijing ate dinner as usual,

During the meal, he learned about Rong Xian's departure to join the army.

He went to bed early,

Yin hour (3:00 AM)

Xu Zaijing, dressed in tight-fitting clothes convenient for action, looked at Qingcao at the door and asked:

"I'm going to help the Rong family find Rong Xian. If Mother asks, just tell her the truth."

"Yes, Young Master."

After finishing, Xu Zaijing arrived at the racetrack.

At this time, Qingyun and Alan were organizing the saddles, hanging cylindrical feather arrows on the side of the saddle.

Inserting the steel spear into the cowhide bag beside the stirrup, fixing it in the middle with a spear hook on the side of the saddle, and two steel maces were also hung on the back of another horse.

Qingyun also packed his shield and face mask and nodded at Xu Zaijing.

Alan and Xunshu prepared the forage and drinking water for this one-way trip.

A group of four people, eight horses, walked out from the side door of the Marquis estate in the light of the lanterns.

Along the streets of Bianjing, they arrived at the New Cao Gate,

And in the surprised eyes of the people entering the city in the early morning, the group left Bianjing and rushed east all the way.

Walking and stopping along the post stations, by the time it was Wu hour (after 12:00 PM),

The group had already traveled nearly three hundred li, passed Danzhou,

There were many strong men on the road who coveted these eight fine horses, especially seeing only four people riding them.

But helplessly, Xu Zaijing's horses were too strong, directly leaving those people behind, unable to catch up.

Those who caught up looked at the feather arrows on the horses' backs and wisely didn't dare to provoke them.

By You hour (5:00 PM)

The group had slowed down and arrived at Prince Yan's fief.

Qingyun rode on the horse and looked back: "Young Master, the ones behind have caught up."

Xu Zaijing drank some water from the gourd: "Wait for them to come over, and ask them something."

After finishing, he wiped the sweat from his face.

The four led their horses to the shade of the trees on the side of the road. Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horses panting came over.

Six sturdy men riding mules and horses, carrying bows and holding knives, caught up.

Seeing the four people under the tree, their eyes lit up, looking at Xiao Li Ju and the two Northern Liao Dragon Ma Pi, their eyes were even more excited.

Then they drew their knives and swords, and drove their mounts toward the four people amidst shouts.

They were close, only then did they see a young man slowly pulling a strong bow,

Xu Zaijing's long arrows were shot in order from far to near. In less than ten breaths, only one man riding a mule, who rode the fastest and was closest to Xu Zaijing's group, stopped his mount in a daze.

He looked back at his partners behind him,

Not one could stand.

"Get down, my young master has something to ask you."

Qingyun patted the man's thigh with the scabbard.

"Master, the little one didn't recognize Mount Tai, please spare the little one's life."

"Don't worry, as long as you speak well, your life will be spared."

Prince Yan's mansion,

Study,

Prince Yan's retainer Qiu Jing was talking beside Prince Yan:

"Your Highness, the nine fierce soldiers captured from Northern Liao sent by sea from the Jin Kingdom, along with the 'lost' military supplies, have all been arranged in the bandit den on Jin Yangshan."

Prince Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a map of Great Zhou and nodded:

"How is the quality of the fierce soldiers?"

"The Prince's mansion guards are one-on-one, one win and one loss, but five-on-five, they were completely defeated by these fierce soldiers! The staff in the mansion who understand the situation in Northern Liao suspect that among this batch of people, some are the elite soldiers of Northern Liao's forbidden guards!"

"Oh? Could it be that the Northern Liao Emperor was slaughtered by the Jin Kingdom?"

"Your Highness, it should be that they were guarding some Northern Liao Imperial clan member."

"Good! Supply them with good wine and meat, and if they want women, go find them! Tell the Jin Kingdom people that we don't refuse these fierce soldiers! If there are Jurchen warriors, increase the price by fifty percent."

"Yes, Your Highness. There is one more thing, the female relatives of the Gao family's Second House who left the Cangzhou Chai family must have been abducted to the bandit den on Jin Yangshan by now."

"Good, don't touch these female relatives, I have great use for them. By the way, have the staff come over and tell me in detail about those Northern Liao fierce soldiers."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qiu Jing left the study and was about to call someone, but saw the Marquis estate steward walking over with a panicked and anxious expression.

"What's the matter?"

"A letter from Bianjing, the Heir and Young Master Qiu were beaten by the Marquis of Yongyi's youngest son. The Heir's legs were broken, and Young Master Qiu lost all his teeth."

"What??? Go, go in!"

Prince Yan turned back in the study and asked suspiciously: "What is this?"

"Your Highness! The Heir..."

After reading the letter, Prince Yan asked angrily: "Why did the letter come so late? Where are our carrier pigeons?"

"The one who delivered the letter said that Bianjing Prince's mansion only lifted the ban on people going out today, and there were sounds of eagles heard outside the mansion, suspecting the carrier pigeons were snatched away."

"Good, good, good, since the Emperor is so partial to the Xu family, then don't blame me for giving them a little color to see."

Looking at Qiu Jing's pained expression, Prince Yan said: "Go, draw ten of the best dead soldiers and add five Northern Liao fierce soldiers, you handle it."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Let the staff come quickly."

Under the tree,

The sturdy man who was already kneeling on the ground was full of tears.

"Grandfather, that Jin Yangshan bandit den was a famous bandit den far and near. A few years ago, during the chaos of the three northern countries, it was occupied by those strong men."

"Have they gone down the mountain to rob?"

"No, no, the mountain people around and the little one said that large carts often enter the bandit den, and there are many people, but they haven't robbed, so the government thought there was no one there anymore."

"How many people can live inside?"

"The little one doesn't know."

"Good, let's go to Jin Yangshan!"

"Grandfather, then the little one..."

Xu Zaijing said: "Qingyun, hang him up, keep his life, whether he can live depends on his own creation."

Soon, the man was tied by his feet and hung upside down, and his arms were also firmly tied to both sides of his body.

In the man's upside-down field of vision, the four people and eight horses soon disappeared.

Leaving behind corpses of people and animals all over the ground.

When Xu Zaijing's group of four relied on asking for directions to arrive at this Jin Yangshan bandit den,

It had already been half an hour.

They happened to see a carriage driving into the mountain.

"Young Master?"

"Put on armor first, then follow."

After finishing, Xu Zaijing dismounted and began to put on cotton armor and arm shields with Alan's help.

Qingyun was helped by Xunshu to put on these things.

After the two finished putting them on, Xu Zaijing inserted the two steel maces into the leather buckle behind his waist.

After mounting the horse, he chased after them.

At this time, the sun began to set, and the sky began to darken.

After walking for a while,

The four of them saw the carriage they had just seen driving out from the mountain.

Behind it followed two teams of people and two flatbed carriages.

Seeing the fully armed Xu Zaijing and his servant riding horses, the curtain of the leading carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man poked his head out:

"Which soldiers are you? I am Qiu Jing, a retainer of Prince Yan. Don't be nosy, get out of the way!"

As he spoke, he also raised the token in his hand.

In Qiu Jing's field of vision, two knights exchanged words, and then the two knights rushed toward the carriage team.

"Presumptuous! How dare you! What are you doing!"

Alan and Xunshu did not participate in the fight, but watched the horses not far away.

But when they heard the roars from that team during the battle, the two exchanged surprised glances.

Xunshu said: "It's Northern Liao language. I'll watch the horses, you try to see if you can save them!"

Alan nodded and mounted one of the two Dragon Ma Pi, running toward the battlefield at high speed.

Arriving near the battlefield, Alan shouted loudly:

"Bu Tai! Kan Guo Zhu!" (Don't fight, you can live!)

In the time it took to come and shout, a team of fifteen people was already down to six.

Most of them didn't have time to put on armor before they were nailed to the ground by Xu Zaijing's heavy arrows, and a small part were shot by Qingyun.

Hearing Alan's shout, four of them looked over in surprise.

Xu Zaijing and Qingyun also loosened their bows and arrows.

Seeing Alan's appearance and the divine horse he was riding, one of them knelt directly on the ground, while the other three were watching, and some even showed a posture of wanting to snatch the horse.

"Ha Da!" (Kneel properly)

After Alan shouted, he stopped the horse and shouted:

"Young Master, those who don't kneel can be slaughtered."

After Alan finished speaking, the bows and arrows in Xu Zaijing and Qingyun's hands flew out, nailing two to death.

A breath later, only the stunned Qiu Jing and the Northern Liao soldier kneeling on the ground remained on the battlefield.

"Tie him up, be careful."

"Yes, Young Master."

As he spoke, Alan raised his chin at the soldier, and the soldier threw away his weapon, and was then tied up by Alan.

"Qiu Jing, right? Let's go!"

"Who are you people? What do you want to do?"

Xu Zaijing's eyes curved under the helmet: "Imperial City Guard, Zhao Meifeng!"

"Imperial City Guard, Gao Yunqing."

"Imperial..."

Before Qiu Jing could finish speaking, he was lifted by Xu Zaijing with one hand and placed on the horse's back.

"Imperial City Guard, you are from Bianjing, the local Imperial City Guard has long since..."

Qiu Jing whispered, and then immediately closed his mouth.

Xu Zaijing heard this and didn't continue to smile, mainly because he couldn't laugh anymore.

He had intended to notify the local Imperial City Guard at the beginning, but it seemed...

Looking at the sky, it was too dangerous to be dark, and it was easy for people to run away.

Immediately, Xu Zaijing turned his horse's head.

Cleaned up the battlefield, threw the corpses on the carriage,

The group of six left this place. 【2

Arriving at a hidden spot, the group did not light a fire and ate a few flatbreads with dried meat.

Through the translation of Alan and Xunshu,

enduring the bites of mosquitoes and insects,

Xu Zaijing carefully understood the situation inside this Golden Yangshan stronghold.

Inside, there were Great Zhou people, as well as Northern Liao soldiers captured by the Jin state.

Inside the stronghold, there were fierce dogs; once, several Northern Liao soldiers had wanted to escape, but they were caught and brought back, and all the Northern Liao soldiers were forced to stab those people one by one to send them to their deaths.

Alan asked: "Did you stab them too?"

That Northern Liao soldier nodded and said in the Northern Liao language:

"If I didn't stab them, I would have died too. Slowly, everyone thought that selling one's life anywhere is the same, so they stopped running."

"How many Northern Liao people are inside?"

"I and the four who died were one squad; inside, there are four more squads, and today nine more formidable people arrived."

"Great Zhou people, three teams."

After listening to Alan's translation, Xu Zaijing knew that there were twenty-nine Northern Liao people alone, and one hundred and fifty Great Zhou people.

"Young Master, there are quite a lot of people! Why don't we notify the nearby garrison troops?"

Qingyun said worriedly.

"It's fine, sleep! If we really call the garrison troops, who knows who they might kill."

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, Qingyun nodded solemnly.

Alan and Xunshu hurriedly spread out the rolled-up leather mats on the ground.

The hope that had just ignited in the eyes of Qiu Jing, who was tied up to the side, was extinguished by Xu Zaijing's words.

Very soon, the sound of Xu Zaijing and Qingyun snoring began.

Alan went to take care of the horses,

and Xunshu watched the two captives.

The Northern Liao soldier whispered in Northern Liao language: "Why don't we run? With these horses, we can run back to the Northern Liao state."

Xunshu let out a disdainful sneer.

By the second half of the night,

the Northern Liao soldier was surprised to see Xu Zaijing and Qingyun give up their leather mats to stand guard, while Alan and Xunshu lay down on them and fell into a deep sleep.

This filled his eyes with horror; in Northern Liao, how could servants use their master's things?

He seemed to understand the reason why this young man had sneered at him the previous night.

When the sky began to turn white, Alan and Xunshu lit a fire and heated some food.

After Xu Zaijing and Qingyun were full, they began to put on their clothes.

Over their cotton armor, they put on a set of armor captured the previous evening.

Xu Zaijing tried it out; it didn't have much impact on his movements.

Subsequently, Xu Zaijing and Qingyun mounted their horses, while Alan and Xunshu drove the captured flatbed carriage, bringing the horses behind them.

The two captives were tied to the carriage.

Arriving outside the Golden Yangshan stronghold,

the guards on the stronghold wall looked suspiciously at this group; they were dressed like their own people, but why were there so many good horses?

Could it be that they were robbed?

Were the people on the flatbed carriage behind them captured?

The guard was just about to ask a question,

when something shot toward him at high speed within his field of vision.

Watching the guard fall, Xu Zaijing took three more arrows from the quiver.

Thud, thud, thud.

Qingyun dismounted, grabbed the arrow shaft that had deeply nailed into the stronghold gate, and using the leverage, climbed onto the stronghold wall.

After coming down to open the stronghold gate, he waited for everyone to enter before closing it again.

Then he turned around to catch up with Xu Zaijing, raising the warning horn in his hand.

Xu Zaijing looked around at the surrounding environment and said: "Blow it."

"Doo~~~~"

When Qingyun blew the horn, Xu Zaijing had already driven his horse into the stronghold.

The fierce dogs began to bark wildly.

The one who reacted the fastest, rushing out of the room while hugging his armor, was met with a feathered arrow shooting toward him at high speed.

The thief following behind him looked at his companion nailed to the wall and wailing, unable to react to what was happening.

People were continuously drawn out by the horn,

and without exception, they were all nailed to the wall; the difference was that some were killed by a single arrow, while others wailed incessantly.

Slowly, some people put on their armor.

Those who put on armor were not nailed to the wall, but they only painfully tried to pull out the feathered arrows that had pierced their armor; unfortunately, they soon lost their strength.

Time passed,

and some people were already wearing armor, holding shields to protect their vital parts, and closing in.

Xu Zaijing, riding on his horse, estimated the position of the enemy's hand and shot another arrow.

Unfortunately, that position was protected by iron plating, and it only pierced through a little.

However, the force of the feathered arrow was too great; the enemy holding the shield seemed unable to lift his forearm.

Following that, he received an arrow from Qingyun in the head.

On the flatbed carriage, Qiu Jing and the Northern Liao soldier looked on in a daze at the scene inside the stronghold.

Inside the stronghold,

it slowly became littered with corpses.

By the time Xu Zaijing had finished shooting the four quivers of arrows from the front and back of his saddle, looking around, the stronghold was filled with white arrow feathers.

Someone in the stronghold shouted:

"His arrows are gone, form a formation!"

"He shot so many times, he must be exhausted!"

"Revenge!"

"Charge!"

Qingyun shouted: "Young Master?"

Xu Zaijing dismounted, took the refined steel spear from the side of the saddle, and shook the spear, which had some weight, feeling his arm lighten.

Looking at the thieves who were coming in formation wearing Great Zhou infantry armor,

Xu Zaijing spun the spear shaft with one hand, found the feeling of practicing with the spear from before, and walked toward the thieves.

Subsequently,

except for the lucky ones who were knocked flying and vomited blood,

the thieves who weren't knocked flying were all poked by the spearhead into the helmets of their infantry armor, their red and white matter mixing into a clump.

Compared to the wooden stakes in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion's horse track,

the gaps under the thieves' helmets were a bit too large.

Xu Zaijing flicked the spear, and the red tassel under the spearhead sprayed out a streak of blood.

These death soldiers of the Prince of Yan's mansion had a strong will to fight; another team wearing light armor rushed over, followed closely by several death soldiers holding chains.

The spear in Xu Zaijing's hand struck left and right; the light-armored death soldiers in the front row either had their chests caved in or their limbs deformed as they collapsed to the side.

And those behind holding chains were already shouting wildly as they surrounded him, wanting to use the iron chains to entangle Xu Zaijing.

Unfortunately,

Xu Zaijing in front directly smashed a spear into the middle of the chains; the weight of the refined steel spear body combined with the force of Xu Zaijing's swing caused some chains to snap, while others didn't break but dragged the death soldiers at both ends toward him.

As the spear danced,

this team also fell silent.

"Qingyun, count them, how many is that?"

Xu Zaijing hadn't waited for Qingyun's answer,

when the largest military formation with the most armor since entering the stronghold surged over.

"Wear him out, otherwise no one will live today!"

A rough and desperate voice cried out from behind the military formation.

Under his helmet, Xu Zaijing felt his body, which had just warmed up, and continued to walk forward.

Very soon, man and formation collided.

The spear in Xu Zaijing's hand spat out like a snake's tongue, poking the helmet of an armored soldier into the air.

Subsequently, the spear moved with wide, sweeping motions, smashing shields,

snapping long blades,

and shattering armor and the bones beneath the armor.

The thieves who were knocked flying hit several others before

collapsing to the ground, falling silent.

In the eyes of Alan and the others,

the thieves' military formation was like an elephant entering a rice field,

very soon being trampled into disarray.

At this moment, there were already thieves who were so frightened they lost their minds, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"Hero, spare my life!"

"Hero Grandpa, spare my life!"

Seeing that those kneeling and begging for mercy were not killed by the spear, more and more thieves knelt on the ground.

Question: Between thirty thousand pigs and thirty thousand people, which is easier to catch?

Answer: Thirty thousand people, because pigs won't surrender in an organized formation.

"You, go and tie up these people begging for mercy. Alan, you and Xunshu go and pick up the feathered arrows!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Hero Grandpa."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Alan and the other hurriedly went to pull out the feathered arrows; for a time, the sounds of groans and wails grew louder.

That thief lowered his head, not daring to look into Xu Zaijing's eyes, and hurriedly found rope to start tying up those kneeling on the ground.

Those who were tied up also didn't dare to move much.

"What other people are inside?"

Xu Zaijing asked another person.

"Hero Grandpa, everyone has been killed by you; inside, inside there is just..."

Before the words were finished, four people who weren't wearing armor walked out, carrying only long blades and shields.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, and seeing the other five Northern Liao soldiers they had eaten with just yesterday,

the four men's eyes were filled with pain.

The fourth person in the middle looked at Xu Zaijing standing before him, and was then distracted by the Dragon Colt beside Alan not far away; subsequently, he called out uncertainly:

"Are you Xu Zaijing?"

Listening to the stiff Great Zhou language, Xu Zaijing looked at the person speaking and frowned: "Yelu Sun, why are you here?"

"Hero Grandpa, he is a Northern Liao soldier who was sent here yesterday. Inside that room, there are two beauties, you..."

"Didn't you say you don't plunder?"

"Those two were ordered by the Prince's mansion."

"Oh. Go, let's go take a look. Yelu Sun, did your comrades die? You should tidy up."

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing walked toward a room.

"Crash!"

The door was kicked open.

Inside the room, two women and one man were blindfolded, gagged, and had their hands and feet tied; hearing the sound of the door being kicked, the three were so frightened they kept making muffled sounds.

Among them, the man was still wearing blue clothes covered in dust.

"Untie them."

"Yes, Hero Grandpa."

This thief, who had been terrified by Xu Zaijing to the point of being somewhat dazed, hurriedly went to untie the ropes.

"In your stronghold, where are the horses?"

"Hero Grandpa, they are behind the house, why don't... I go and lead them to you?"

"No need, someone will go and lead them in a moment."

When Xu Zaijing came out of the room, he saw that those thieves who had knelt and surrendered had almost all been tied up.

The two women and one man behind him were still somewhat afraid; the man said with a panicked expression:

"You... you are whose... soldier... my family is... the Gao family of Laizhou, tell the Duke... I, my family will... definitely have a generous reward in a few days."

"The generous reward is unnecessary; there are horses behind the house. You lead the horses well, look carefully at the appearance of this place, keep it in your mind, and then return to Bianjing with me."

After finishing, Xu Zaijing said to the thief who had called him Hero Grandpa: "Go, have those people lie down properly."

That person hurriedly went over and shouted: "Lie down, the Hero Grandpa wants us all to lie down!"

Xu Zaijing walked over, used his spear to smash the legs of these people one by one, and then had Yelu Sun and the four others go behind the house to lead the horses.

Looking at these people wailing inside the stronghold, Xu Zaijing said:

"You think clearly, whether you live longer waiting for the government to come here, or live longer going to the Prince's mansion to report. Your legs are all broken, think about the fate of the useless."

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing came to the side of the Li Colt, looked at the feathered arrows in the quiver that were covered in bloodstains, and nodded.

Subsequently, Xu Zaijing took off the armor on his body, threw it to the ground, and took off the cotton armor he was wearing and put it away.

Beside Yelu Sun, the soldiers of the imperial guard's inner circle looked at the young Xu Zaijing in surprise, unable to believe that the casualties of this entire stronghold were caused by this person.

To the side, the Gao family descendants and the two girls beside them also revealed surprise and said: "He looks so young."

"Little brother, why do you look so familiar?"

"Let's go, return to the capital."

As he spoke, the group of more than ten people rode horses, some fine and some inferior, out of this Golden Yangshan stronghold. At the stronghold gate, Xu Zaijing asked:

"Do you remember the situation inside clearly?"

The Gao family descendants and the two young ladies nodded somewhat fearfully.

"Then let's go, giddyap!"

Bianjing,

Prince of Yan's mansion,

Qiu Keli, who had lost his teeth, was sitting beside the bed of the Crown Prince of Yan, his expression filled with hatred as he said: "Crown Prince, rest assured, as long as the Prince and my father know about this matter, they will definitely avenge us."

The Crown Prince of Yan, whose legs were immobilized on the bed, had a look of viciousness in his eyes: "Have your father bring people; if we can't deal with the Marquis's mansion, then we'll start with their relatives. Xu Zaijing, I'm not finished with him!"

Jinghai Marquis Huyan family,

Jinghai Marquis Huyan Feng looked at the elderly Madam Bao and said:

"This errand always fails to fall to other families! Since the fifth branch has such a good errand, just have the fifth branch give up the water transport shares that the third and fourth branches previously allocated to him to the first branch."

"But, with the business in Dengzhou gone, how much income have our two Marquis's mansions lost all at once! How are we supposed to live!"

"Shut up! Now that the fact that your Bao family is doing the business of selling Northern Liao captives is still unknown to anyone, take advantage of the present to quickly and cleanly clear out everyone who knows about it, to save trouble in the future!"

"But, but the Prince of Yan's mansion also knows about it; what if they use this to blackmail us..."

"You know to be afraid now? When you were collecting the silver, I didn't see you afraid! Besides, in the future, who is blackmailing whom is not yet certain!"
