In the entire Jianzhou County Sheriff's Office, the happiest person is Biejia Zheng Wensong. Because he is not a direct descendant of Niu Mandi, he has been kept in the position of Jianzhou Biejia and cannot move. Mr. Zheng, who was born as a top three Jinshi

The officialdom was not satisfactory, so he had no choice but to visit brothels from time to time, linger in the romance, and even took in five concubines. Who said Master Zheng was frustrated in the officialdom, so he had no choice but to enjoy himself in love.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wang Tang Jiu Sheng was like a magic weapon descending from heaven. He quickly investigated and dealt with the county governor Ye Tengjiao, and promoted Zheng Wensong, who had always been far away from the core of Jianzhou's power, to the position, giving him "temporary power over Jianzhou Prefecture affairs". Although it was just the word "quan",

But everyone knows very well that as long as Mr. Zheng handles political affairs well and makes no mistakes, then the word "power" will be removed soon.

Therefore, Zheng Wensong has been working so hard these days that even Xina's concubine has no time to favor him, and he no longer hangs around the brothel. This makes all the Yingying Yanyan in Ziyan Tower resentful, and even the leading oirans see through Qiu Shui.

They only hope that Mr. Zheng can come to the door as soon as possible. Little did they know that this Mr. Zheng sits in the lobby with a high mirror with a straight face every day, handling official duties meticulously, and occasionally asks the prince for advice, so how can he find time to go shopping?

Brothel?

It was rare that the sun was shining brightly today. After seeing off the acting county magistrate Zheng Wensong, Tang Jiusheng moved a chair and sat in the courtyard of the main house in the backyard of the magistrate's mansion. He held a golden osmanthus leaf in his mouth and looked at the two tall trees in the courtyard.

The three- to four-foot tall Jin Gui was in a daze. It was early winter, and the sun was shining on Tang Jiusheng. It was not extremely hot, but warm. Jianzhou was like this, neither too cold nor too hot, as long as there was sun in the sky.

The weather won't be cold.

Although notices have been posted at all four gates, although it is heard that King Wei is in charge of the county guard's office, and although it is heard that King Wei is going to investigate the county guard Ye Tengjiao, there are still very few people who come to sue Ye Tengjiao. Tang Jiu Sheng knew very well that the people were not

He is afraid of something else. He is afraid that if the army of soldiers invades Jianzhou, anyone who files a lawsuit against Ye Tengjiao will definitely be settled by the Queen of Autumn. The current plan is to defeat the bandit soldiers outside the city again and stabilize the situation before anyone dares to complain.

.

Tang Jiusheng frowned and thought about countermeasures. The tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city were not easy to deal with. Although there were tens of thousands of people in the city, the only people who could really drive him were the three thousand people from Xuantong County and Ning Cheng.

Gang's more than 500 people, Zheng Zheng and others' 3,000 people. Hou Jingxian's more than 2,000 people and the remaining 5,000 people in Jianzhou are all direct descendants of Niu Mandi and Ye Tengjiao.

trust.

In Jianzhou City, there are more than 6,000 horses at hand, but there are more than 7,000 horses that cannot be completely believed. Therefore, as long as there is a fight, we can only win but not lose. When we raided Hou Jingxian's camp a few nights ago, in fact,

They mobilized more than 4,000 people and lied to the outside world about 2,000 people. Only then did they win the battle to rob the camp. It also initially stabilized the morale of the army and boosted morale.

In fact, after all calculations, Hou Jingxian himself has no problem, but after all, the soldiers he brought from Luye City are not his private army, and their loyalty is hard to say. Niu Mandi and Ye Tengjiao have been entrenched in Jiannan for so many years, and I am afraid those soldiers are not interested in Niu Mandi.

Diye Tengjiao's loyalty was even higher than that of the King of Wei. He could not trust such soldiers to fight. Maybe if the general on the opposite side roared, someone would rebel and run over.

Moreover, he had to allocate part of his troops to suppress the ground and leave another part to defend the city. No matter how hard he calculated, he was stretched thin. Although Xiaowei had sent a secret report on the situation in Jianzhou back to Anshu County, Tang Jiusheng was not sure about the situation in Prince Wei's Mansion.

It was not optimistic. Tang Jiusheng didn't know whether it would be windy or rainy, but he still knew how many soldiers and horses he had under his command.

Now that the enemy has arrived at the city, it would be too slow to mobilize troops from Jiangzhou, Huzhou and other places to rescue Jianzhou, and water from afar would not quench the thirst of those nearby. If he were to simply defend the city, Tang Jiusheng was afraid that if the city was besieged for a long time, the troops in the city would surrender.

Mutiny. Tang Jiusheng held a golden osmanthus leaf in his mouth and sat on a chair with his brows furrowed. How can he win this battle? It really takes a lot of thinking.

Tang Jiusheng was in a daze when someone gently hugged his neck from behind. His small palms were rough and not delicate, which was obviously caused by practicing swordplay since childhood.

This person gently rubbed his face against Tang Jiusheng's neck. Tang Jiusheng felt a little itchy. Tang Jiusheng smelled the familiar fragrance on her body, and his smile immediately warmed up. Tang Jiusheng spit out the golden osmanthus leaves in his mouth and gently touched her little hand.

, turned around and asked: "Lingyu, why don't you go out of the city to watch your fat brother fight with others?"

Xiahou Lingyu gently closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling. She didn't know why, but recently she liked acting coquettishly with Tang Jiusheng more and more. Maybe it was her first love interest. Xiahou Lingyu laughed softly and said: "Brother Chen

I've already gone out of the city with them, why should I go there? My eldest prince, why are you here alone? Are you thinking about your sisters-in-law again? "

Tang Jiusheng said loudly without looking back: "Zhu'er, bring out another chair!" Zhu'er from far away agreed, brought out a chair from the room and placed it on Tang Jiusheng's right side. Tang Jiusheng motioned to Xiahou Lingyu to sit down.

Xiahou Lingyu sat on the right side of Tang Jiusheng, looking at Tang Jiusheng with a smile and fiery eyes. Tang Jiusheng couldn't stand her fiery eyes and begged for mercy: "Sister Lingyu, please don't look at me with such eyes, I will tremble!"

"

Today, Xiahou Lingyu had her hair tied up in a bun, with a golden walking stick on her head, and seven or eight sapphire blue beads of different sizes hanging down. She was wearing a peacock blue jacket and a pair of dark green trumpet-shaped trousers.

, on her feet were a pair of purple suede boots, which looked very delicate.

When? It’s really rare!”

Tang Jiusheng laughed loudly, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "What can I do in a brothel? I just want to see those beautiful girls. After all, I don't do anything. In Tianxuan

Before the fifth turn of Jue, no matter how beautiful the girl is, I cannot touch her!"

Zhu'er stood behind Tang Jiusheng. When she heard Tang Jiusheng say this, her eyes were full of ridicule. She was laughing at Lu'er who was taken away by the owl guards a few days ago. At that time, Lu'er still wanted the prince to favor her. Unfortunately, our prince is now

Not much different from a eunuch!

Xiahou Lingyu suddenly became serious and changed his tone, "Brother Tang, in fact, you can handle things by yourself, why do you need to mobilize thousands of troops?"

Tang Jiusheng couldn't help being startled, and asked with a smile: "Lingyu, what do you mean by this?"

Xiahou Lingyu smiled and said: "Just like a few nights ago, you mobilized more than 4,000 people to rob the camp. As a result, when the two armies faced off, you captured Hou Jingxian alive with just a few moves. If that's the case, why not do it yourself?

Go and kill Hou Jingxian single-handedly? You can save troops and food, so why bother the people and money? As long as you personally go to the Yamen of Jinglue and kill Jinglue and make the land full of cattle, won't everything be fine?"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head and said: "You girl, your thinking is so simple! First, Niu Mandi is not fighting alone. He has a bunch of civil servants and military officers to serve him. It may be easy to kill Niu Mandi, but you can guarantee

Can his men not afford to rebel? Secondly, if a rich man cannot sit down in court, who can guarantee that there are no strangers hiding in the army? If he fails to win but is captured instead, wouldn't morale be ruined?

?”

Xiahou Lingyu burst out laughing, "So Brother Tang, you are also afraid of death!"

Tang Jiusheng said in surprise: "I am living a good life, why should I risk my life and seek death? I died alone just to kill a corrupt official. What is the benefit to my family and my country? I just want to sit here.

In Prince Wei's Mansion on Jiannan Road, or sitting in the lobby of the Jianzhou County Sheriff's Office, the officials, big and small, would touch their heads and wonder whether they should do something good for the people to avoid being raped by Prince Wei.

Beheading, which one do you think is more useful?"

Xiahou Lingyu was just about to mock Tang Jiusheng a few more words, but he saw Fan Chenglin hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard, with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Tang Jiusheng, Fan Chenglin quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, something happened!"

Tang Jiusheng knew that Fan Chenglin was a steady person. If he wanted to say something happened, it must be a big one, because he would handle the small things himself. Tang Jiusheng stood up and asked, "Brother Fan, what happened?"

Fan Chenglin sighed, "Your Majesty, something happened in front of the two armies. He Changhu was beheaded by General Huo Yunsheng from Luye City!"

Tang Jiusheng was really taken aback and blurted out: "Didn't I send Fatty to raid the formation for He Changhu? Besides, Brother Chen is also there, they won't just sit back and watch He Changhu be killed!"

Fan Chenglin sighed, "Forget it, according to the spies' report, He Changhu first killed a captain named Lin Beihe in Luye City, and Huo Yunsheng came to avenge him. Huo Yunsheng first fought with He Changhu and beat twenty

There was no winner in the round, so he turned his horse and ran away. He Changhu didn't know it was a trick and chased after him closely. Jiang Xiaowei saw that something was wrong and quickly chased after him. Unexpectedly, Huo Yunsheng knew a kind of magic and was fascinated at first.

He Changhu turned around and killed He Changhu with an axe. Captain Jiang was a step too slow and failed to save He Changhu. As a result, he himself was also hit by a spell and fell off his horse."

Tang Jiusheng was horrified and asked hurriedly: "What about my fat brother? Is he going to be chopped down too?"

Fan Chenglin shook his head, "That's not true, Huo Yunsheng

The ax fell down, but failed to chop Captain Jiang to death. Chen Chengshu and his men rushed forward. Huo Yunsheng saw that there were many people around us, so he picked up He Changhu's head and fled on horseback! Now Chen Chengshu was unconscious with his body.

Lieutenant Jiang is awake and on his way back with thousands of troops, and the spies are back to report on the battle situation!"

Xiahou Lingyu almost jumped up from the chair, "What? Everyone has used sorcery, and my senior brother Chen is still standing there watching the fun? He..." Xiahou Lingyu trembled with anger, secretly cursing senior brother Chen for being so useless.

Got it!

Tang Jiuchang breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down. In turn, he advised Xiahou Lingyu: "Lingyu, don't complain. Does Brother Chen want someone on his side to die in battle? The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and casualties are inevitable. Okay.

The fat man was not captured alive, otherwise it would be a big trouble!"

Xiahou Lingyu was furious, her newly developed small breasts were trembling with anger, and she ran straight out of the yard. Tang Jiusheng called her from behind, but she was so angry that she didn't even look back.

Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly. The fat man was born with a physical body of martial arts. Even though he received an axe, his life was not in danger. However, He Changhu's being killed by the formation was too demoralizing. Originally, he killed Lin Beihe, which was already a great achievement.

It's a pity that we win first and then lose, and people in the city are in panic because of this.

Chen Chengshu first asked the fat man to be sent back to the county governor's office for treatment, and then he took a thousand soldiers back to the military camp, and then turned around and returned to the county governor's office. As soon as he got off the horse at the gate of the county governor's office, he saw Xiahou Lingyu running away in a hurry

Came over.

Xiahou Lingyu came to Chen Chengshu and asked angrily: "Brother Chen! You went to watch the enemy plunder the formation. They have already used sorcery. Are you still standing aside to watch the excitement and watch our people being hacked to death by the enemy?"

?”

Chen Chengshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Junior sister, what happened suddenly, who would have thought that Huo Yunsheng could use sorcery? Captain He first killed Lin Beihe, and then tied with Huo Yunsheng. Huo Yunsheng ran away, and Captain He chased after him, or Jiang

The captain said that Huo Yunsheng was very skilled in martial arts, and there must be a trick to cheat him out, so he chased after him first, and I followed him. When I arrived, something had happened, so I had no choice but to risk my life to rescue Captain Jiang.

"

Xiahou Lingyu blurted out: "Brother Chen, you are so useless!"

Chen Chengshu's face turned red with anger at Xiahou Lingyu's words. He originally liked his junior sister very much, but in the past few days, he saw his junior sister surrounding Tang Jiusheng every day, with admiration in his eyes. It's a shame that Tang Jiusheng still loves Li.

Ignoring him, Chen Chengshu was angry for a long time. Chen Chengshu said angrily: "Who can be as useful as your brother Tang? I became the vassal king at such a young age. I don't have a father who is a national teacher, and I am not as good at martial arts as he is.

Not as handsome as him!"

Xiahou Lingyu was robbed by Chen Chengshu of a few words. She was really angry. She stamped her feet fiercely and said with a red face: "You are a bad person. I will never pay attention to you again!" After saying that, she turned around and ran back to the back house of the Yamen.

Chen Chengshu was left standing there, his face was bruised and red with anger, and he could neither leave nor stay. The soldiers standing guard couldn't help but whisper.

Chen Chengshu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Damn, junior sister is ignoring me again, why should I come back?" The blood in his heart turned to ice, and he silently went back downstairs to get the package, went to the stable, took out the horse, flew on the horse, and carried it on his back.

The sword went to the east of the city.

Although the garrison at the east gate recognized Chen Chengshu, this was wartime and they did not dare to let him out of the city without a warrant. Chen Chengshu was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped down a junior officer on the spot, shouting: "King Wei sent me out of the city because of this."

I have something urgent to do, and I didn't take the token in my hurry. Whoever dares to stop me will be guilty of the same crime as this person! Open the door quickly!" When the soldiers knew that he was someone close to King Wei, they panicked and had no choice but to open the city gate and let him go.

out.

Chen Chengshu rode straight towards the enemy's stronghold on the official road. The sentry from Luye City had already reported back. Huo Yunsheng in the stronghold heard that someone broke into the camp alone with a sword and horse. He was furious, picked up an ax and mounted his horse.

He only brought his own soldiers to fight. Chen Chengshu was angry and did not say a word. He just slashed with his sword. Huo Yunsheng didn't know his name. He only knew that he had just led people to rescue the fat man. He did not dare to underestimate the enemy and raised his big gun.

Welcome with an axe.

The two fought for more than 30 rounds in front of the battle. Chen Chengshu was better at martial arts, but unfortunately his strength was weaker. Huo Yunsheng was very strong physically, but his martial arts was inferior. However, the two sides managed to fight evenly. Chen Chengshu saw that he could not win, so he couldn't win.

Reluctant to fight again, he made a feint and suddenly rushed forward on horseback. Huo Yunsheng thought he was going to move reinforcements, so he did not chase him. He sent an order to the soldiers not to fire arrows, and let him go to find someone to call for reinforcements first.
