Chapter 826

Wuji County south gate.

A carriage was currently stopped in front of the north gate of Wuji County.

On both sides of the carriage were dozens of cavalrymen, all riding fine Youzhou horses.

Two young men, who looked about thirty percent alike and both held silver spears, guarded the front of the carriage, one on the left and one on the right.

The captain guarding the city gate was walking down from the city wall.

Beside the carriage, Zhen Jiang, dressed in a white skirt as pure as snow, stood there with tear stains still on her eyes.

Besides Zhen Jiang, her sister Zhen Tuo also stood beside the carriage, reaching out to hold Zhen Jiang's hand.

"Sister, must you go? Can you not stay?"

Zhen Tuo, who was two years younger than Zhen Jiang, wore a white robe with a pink gauze coat over it, and tears were swirling in her eyes.

Zhen Jiang forced a smile and comforted her: "Don't worry, Sister is fine, Sister will come back; you stay at home and take care of Mother."

Zhen Tuo looked up at Zhen Jiang, still full of reluctance, and was unwilling to let go of Zhen Jiang's hand.

"Sister, they say that there are thieves everywhere outside now; where are you going?"

Zhen Jiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

That's right, Jizhou was indeed full of Yellow Turban thieves everywhere now.

But there was one place that was the safest place in the world.

And the place she was going to was that safest place.

There was also a person there whom she had been longing for for over a year.

The city gate captain had already run down from the city wall.

Hearing that it was people from the Zhen clan who wanted to leave, the uninformed gate captain did not find it easy to stop them, so he could only open the city gate.

Zhen Tuo, standing on the street, waved her arms at the carriage that was slowly leaving the city.

Just as the carriage carrying Zhen Jiang had stepped into the gate tunnel.

Several fast horses rushed toward Zhen Jiang's carriage.

"Stop!"

"Stop them!"

"The head of the Zhen family has ordered that Zhen Jiang is not allowed to leave Wuji County!"

The gate captain standing in front of the city gate was stunned for a moment, and then his gaze fell on Zhen Jiang's carriage.

"Stop them!"

The pursuing cavalry shouted loudly.

Behind the cavalry, Zhen Ren of the third branch and Zhen You of the fourth branch also arrived with over a hundred cavalrymen.

"You... how could you do this!"

Standing on the long street, Zhen Tuo, protected by a maid and pulled to the side, stood in front of a shop, looking anxiously at her sister Zhen Jiang's carriage.

"You... how could you do this!" Zhen Tuo shouted anxiously.

However, her voice was quickly drowned out by the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

"Too bullying!"

Zhao Yun, on his horse, glared and turned his head to look behind him.

On the side, the long spear in Zhao Feng's hand was placed directly on the shoulder of the city gate captain.

The sharp spear tip and the cold light made the gate captain wake up from his daze.

"It's none of your business; just pretend you didn't hear anything, otherwise..." Zhao Feng's gaze was cold.

The gate captain was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.

Zhen Jiang's carriage successfully left the city gate.

In front of the city gate tunnel.

Zhao Yun held his spear and looked straight ahead.

Zhen Ren of the third branch and Zhen You of the fourth branch led over a hundred cavalrymen and rushed toward this direction.

The dozen or so leading cavalrymen, seeing that Zhen Jiang's carriage had already left the city gate, whipped their horses and pursued wildly.

They didn't take Zhao Yun, who was not yet twenty and had not yet reached adulthood, seriously at all.

"Those who don't want to die, get out of the way!"

"Those who have nothing to do with this, get lost!"

The pursuers roared all the way.

Zhao Yun, with cold eyes and holding his Dragon-Gall Silver Spear, clamped his legs around his horse's belly and rushed out urgently.

"I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan; who is coming to die!"

A silver light flashed, and the Dragon-Gall Silver Spear in Zhao Yun's hand instantly transformed into white spirit snakes spitting out their tongues.

Head-on, he picked the two fastest Zhen clan private soldiers off their horses.

That speed was so fast there was only a streak of silver light.

The cavalrymen behind didn't even have time to react.

And Zhao Yun, who had rushed into the crowd, had a Dragon-Gall Silver Spear that seemed alive; every time he unleashed a spear flower, a rider would inevitably be stabbed off their horse.

In just an instant, a dozen or so cavalrymen were all picked off their horses by Zhao Yun one after another.

In the distance, Zhen Ren of the third branch and Zhen You of the fourth branch, who were pursuing, couldn't help but be startled when they saw this scene.

"Zilong!"

Zhao Feng, who had already left the city, shouted at Zhao Yun from outside the city.

Zhao Yun turned his head to look outside the city, then swept a cold gaze over Zhen Ren and Zhen You.

"If you dare to pursue again, don't blame the spear in my hand for taking your lives!"

After leaving the warning, Zhao Yun turned his horse's head, shook the reins, and galloped toward the outside of the city.

Zhen Ren and Zhen You, who were frightened, stood frozen in place and did not dare to pursue again.

"Close the gate."

Passing through the city gate tunnel, Zhao Yun said coldly to the gate captain.

Seeing the feat of Zhao Yun taking out a dozen riders in one encounter, how could the gate captain dare to say anything more? He immediately closed the city gate.

Outside the city gate.

Zhen Jiang, who had left the city, looked back in the direction of Wuji County from the carriage window, then resolutely lowered the carriage curtain.

Downstream of the Zi River.

On the banks of the Zi River between Wuji County and Xiaquyang, there was a place called Xiyang Pavilion.

This place was located between Wuji County and Xiaquyang and was the capital of the Gu clan of the White Di during the Spring and Autumn period.

During the time of Duke Dao of Jin, the White Di moved east, and the Gu clan entered the west of the current Jin County in Hebei, establishing their capital at Xiyang Pavilion.

By the sixth month, it had already entered the scorching summer.

The scorching sun was like fire.

A cavalry unit of about a thousand men was currently stalled near Xiyang Pavilion.

All were Xiliang horses, and they were heavy cavalry.

The shortest horse was over seven feet five inches tall.

The cavalrymen were even more burly.

One man with two horses, and the men did not remove their armor.

Leading them was a Xiliang man, over eight feet tall, holding a crescent saber, with a majestic appearance and an innate aura of ferocity.

Who else could it be but Hua Xiong.
