"Beauty, haven't you arranged your seats yet? Don't worry, with my martial arts skills, I will definitely be above that good-for-nothing Zhang Heng!"
Wang Ying hurriedly said to the bedside companion with a smile, "This woman is good at everything, but she is very utilitarian. When she was in Qingfeng Mountain, she complained many times that he didn't take the top spot. She even wanted to take over Yan Shun. took first place. Qinbei Pavilion
"What's the use of being on top of the trash! There are so many people now, you have to be so far back in line, it would be embarrassing for me to follow you!"
The woman said with resentment.
"Don't worry, why would Brother Song Jiang put me in the back?"
Wang Ying said with a smile that there are too many people in Erlongshan now, but as long as you have a good relationship with Song Jiang, this benefit is indispensable.
The shouting array of Guan Sheng at the foot of the mountain finally receded after a long time, and Li Jun and others breathed a sigh of relief.
At dawn, Song Jiang led people back to Erlong Mountain.
Li Jun and others quickly told Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng about the formation, but Song Jiang smiled and told everyone not to panic and wait for the good news.
Qingzhou Prefecture.
"My dear, what's wrong! Then Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng turned against you!"
Huang Xin hurriedly ran into Qin Ming's mansion and shouted.
"Rebellion? What rebellion?"
Qin Ming was stunned and couldn't realize what Huang Xin was talking about.
"Rebellion is rebellion! Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng rebelled!"
Huang Xin hurriedly explained.
"What are they rebelling against?"
Qin Ming felt that he was running out of brains. Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng were deeply trusted by Murong Yan as soon as they came to Qingzhou. The two defeated generals and wanted criminals were about to become the new military commanders of Qingzhou. Such good things were in front of them. What's wrong with this?
"Why did I lie to the benefactor? If you don't believe the benefactor, go and see for yourself!"
Huang Xin pointed outside and said.
Qin Ming put on his upper body and ran out with the mace in hand.
When I came to the city wall, I saw the soldiers on the city as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Their faces were full of shock. The city gate was tightly closed and they did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Looking outside the city, it turned out that there were hundreds of houses, but they were all burned to ashes, a rubble field, scattered everywhere. Countless men and women were killed. Qin Ming was shocked when he saw it.
"What's going on here?"
Qin Ming asked quickly, it was clear that thieves were making a big fuss outside the city. How could the red man in Qingzhou be so bold? In the past, they would hide in the mountains and dare not come down. What's more, now that Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng are close to the mountains to suppress bandits, the thieves have no time to escape, so how can they come to Qingzhou Mansion to cause trouble.
"How could this happen? Which mountain thief is here?"
Qin Ming looked at Huang Xin and asked, he had only been idle for a few days, why was Qingzhou Mansion so miserable? Any thieves dare to come and stir up trouble on Tai Sui's head, and they simply don't take him as the military commander of Qingzhou into consideration.
"The benefactors are Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng. They rode on horseback to burn, kill and loot outside the city. They also threatened to kill the prefect Murong. The prefect Murong was so angry that he had already returned to the government office. These are the letters of surrender for them to leave the grass and go up the mountain. .”
Huang Xin opened his mouth to explain.
"Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng! Are you sure?"
Qin Ming looked at Huang Xin and asked.
"Isn't that easy to recognize? Hu Yanzhuo's Snow-Taking Wuzui, Guan Sheng's Red Rabbit Horse, there is no third horse in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture! You can recognize it at a glance."
Huang Xin was convinced that he was not the only one to see this thing. Murong Yanda and all the guards also saw it. Although the night was hazy, he could not recognize the two military horses and the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou Prefecture.
"Master Manager, Master Governor, and the Magistrate, please go to the government office immediately to discuss matters!"
A soldier ran up the city wall and said to Huang Xin and Qin Ming.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin hurried to the government office. When they arrived at the gate of the government office, they saw heavy guards. They knew that something was in trouble.
"Meet the grace minister."
Qin Ming and Huang Xin saluted Murong Yanda, who was sitting in the hall with a cold face.
"They're all here! They're all from Qingzhou, so I won't say much more. Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, the two rebels, were originally wanted by the court. I thought they were pitiful, so I took them in and gave them to them. It’s an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but these two thieves didn’t want to be grateful, didn’t repent and betrayed me, Qingzhou, they deserve to die! Do you have a way to kill these two thieves!”
Murong Yanda looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, he had determined that Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng came to Qingzhou on purpose to defraud soldiers and horses. In fact, they had already surrendered to the thieves. As soon as they deceived soldiers and horses, they immediately surrendered to the enemy and rebelled, and also intended to capture Qingzhou Prefecture.
Huang Xin frowned when he heard this. If Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng wanted to rebel and capture Qingzhou, why didn't they stay in the city and cooperate with the outside world? He also led troops to suppress bandits. Isn’t this unnecessary?
What's more, good news came back from the front line yesterday, saying that bandits from four mountains gathered at Erlong Mountain. Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng led their troops to fight the bandits at the foot of Erlong Mountain. They killed nearly a thousand enemies and captured two bandit leaders alive, preparing to return later. The city offered prisoners, and the battle was going well, so why did it turn against them?
But these are not important anymore. Murong Yanda decided that it was enough for Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng to rebel. Those two people were wanted criminals. Now that Murong Yanda doesn't protect them, they are bandits.
"Your Excellency, these two thieves are so bold, we must send a large army to suppress them and kill them as a warning to others."
An official said, and the others all spoke in agreement. Everyone could hear Murong Yanda's anger, so they could just follow what he said. There was no need for them to lead troops anyway.
Everyone looked at Qin Ming and Huang Xin. One of them was the military commander of Qingzhou and the other was the military supervisor of Qingzhou. They had the unshirkable responsibility to send troops to suppress thieves.
"Qin Ming, Huang Xin, order you two to order two thousand troops and horses to kill the thieves."
Murong Yanda looked at Qin Ming and Huang Xin and ordered.
"Take orders!"
Qin Ming didn't hesitate, he just cupped his fists and accepted the order, completely ignoring that he couldn't beat Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng before.
After leaving the government office, Huang Xin's face was full of worry.
"How could I be so impulsive, my official? Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng have extraordinary martial arts skills. How could I be able to resist my official!"
Huang Xin looked at Qin Ming and whispered.
"Hmph, you mean I can't beat Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng? This time I will bring two thousand troops and crush them directly!"
Qin Ming was furious after hearing this and stared at Huang Xin.
"My dear officer, that's not what I meant. Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng are doing something fishy. I'm afraid there's some fraud involved. We'd better take a long-term approach and plan for it slowly. If it doesn't work, we can dispatch troops from the surrounding prefectures and work together to kill them."
Huang Xin looked at Qin Ming and explained that Qin Ming has a fiery personality and is a martial arts fanatic. If Qin Ming is not good at martial arts, then Qin Ming will not listen to anything when he is furious.
"Why do you care so much? I just need to lead the troops to destroy them!"
Qin Ming said nonchalantly, and then went to the military camp to select soldiers and horses.
"this……"
Huang Xinxin was in confusion, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously. There was something strange in the mountain, and it was even more strange that Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng suddenly rebelled. It was extremely dangerous to lead troops in at this time.
Huang Xin couldn't figure it out, so he had to follow Qin Ming to the military camp.
Soon Qin Ming named two thousand more soldiers, but unfortunately all the horses were taken away by Hu Yanzhuo. Qin Ming searched the military camp and only found a hundred horses.
At night, Huang Xin was cleaning his mourning sword at home. Tomorrow he would go with Qin Ming to suppress bandits in the mountains.
