The severe pain in his arm not only tortured Zhang Wen's body, but also gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake.
He didn't expect Sister Yang to be so cruel.
If he hadn't dodged quickly at that time, the two crossbow arrows might not have hit his arm as easily.
It turns out that although Eighth Sister Yang often avoids him, he can comfort himself by saying that they don't spend much time together. As long as they get married, Eighth Sister will naturally put her affection on him.
But now he can no longer deceive himself.
Thinking that his fiancée fell in love with Cao Bin, a "nouveau riche", anger, sadness, and crazy jealousy all rushed into his heart, making his chest burn even more as he chased her on horseback.
He is not a green slave, but a famous general. He has extraordinary talent and handsome appearance. He has always been sought after by women.
He never thought that he would suffer such humiliation, especially since this humiliation came from Cao Bin, who had been a typical negative example since childhood.
At this time, he had the urge to destroy everything.
"Major General, there she is!"
Three days later, they caught up with Sister Yang again.
At this time, Sister Yang was resting in a teahouse on the roadside. Seeing Zhang Wen and others chasing after her, her beautiful eyebrows frowned in disgust, and she quickly rushed out, got on her horse, took the plum blossom inlaid gold gun in her hand, and shouted sweetly:
"Zhang Wen, you're done, right? If you dare to pester me again, don't blame my aunt for being cruel."
Zhang Wen's face was ashen, you have never shown mercy to me, then he waved his hand fiercely, gritted his teeth and said:
"Come together and capture her... life or death!"
Hearing these words, even his men were shocked and looked at him quickly.
Zhang Wen's eyes were on fire and he gritted his teeth and said:
"She wants to turn against Cao Bin? Don't even think about it! Even if I destroy her, I won't let her get her wish!"
"She is my fiancée. If there is any trouble, I will be responsible for it..."
While he was expressing his anger, his subordinates hurriedly said:
"Major General, she ran away again!"
Sister Yang was also surprised when she saw Zhang Wen's somewhat crazy attitude.
If there were hundreds of people on the other side who really didn't care about her life, it would be really dangerous to capture them. Seeing that the situation was not good, she quickly ran away.
Zhang Wen suddenly paused and said in shame and anger:
"I saw it, why didn't I chase after it?"
This time there was not much distance to begin with, and there were so many people in Zhang Wen's way, Sister Yang didn't dare to relax at all times.
Sometimes she could only fight and run at the same time, and was chased in a panic.
Although this place is in the wilderness, there are also business travelers coming and going from time to time on the official road. Seeing Zhang Wen and others riding war horses with murderous intent, they all dare not provoke them and give way.
Seeing that she could not get rid of Zhang Wen for a long time, Sister Yang became anxious. If she continued like this, she might be caught by him, so she quickly shouted:
"Zhang Wen, are you crazy?"
"If you dare to touch me, the Yang family will not let you go, and neither will the court."
Zhang Wen kicked his horse wildly and cursed:
"I can't control that much. How can you be justified in supporting Cao Bin, a thief? You shameless bitch!"
While he was talking, he happened to see a convoy of about a hundred people appearing in front, and he couldn't help but said with great joy:
"I am Zhang Wen, the general of the imperial court. Stop the woman in front of me."
Sister Yang was shocked. It wasn't that she didn't want to leave the official road. She was worried that if she ran to a deserted place, Zhang Wen would have no scruples and become more animalistic.
Now he doesn't have much sense anymore.
Sister Yang was frightened when she saw that the convoy in front of her had no intention of avoiding it. She was about to reveal her identity when she saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest sneered and said disdainfully:
"Zhang Wen, what the hell? How dare you compete with Lord Cao for a woman? I'm so tired of living!"
Seeing this, Sister Yang was overjoyed and rushed into the convoy and said:
"Are you Cao Bin's people? I am Yang Yanqi from Tianbo Mansion. This man wants to kill me. Can you stop him?"
The Taoist laughed loudly and said:
"We are disciples from Penglai Island in the East China Sea, and we are defecting to Lord Cao with the headmaster."
"Mrs. Yang, you're welcome. This is a welcome gift."
As he spoke, he shouted in a long voice:
"Brothers, bright guy, protect the woman of Lord Cao!"
Seeing that he spoke so bluntly and crudely, Sister Yang was so embarrassed that her scalp went numb, but she did not correct him.
What surprised her was that Cao Bin even recruited the number one martial artist in Penglai Island to his subordinates.
As a disciple of a general, although she didn't pay much attention to the masters in the green forest, she had heard a little bit about it. Penglai Island was quite famous, so she naturally knew about it.
It is said that the man has no desires and needs and is extremely difficult to recruit. I don’t know how Cao Bin did it.
I used to know that Cao Bin had the nickname "Xiao Mengchang", and I used to secretly despise him.
I didn’t expect that this name would be so useful in the green forest, and I would meet helpers during the escape...
How could she know?
At this time, the number one person in the world was still depressed in the carriage.
He is a standard technical "homebody". Apart from studying martial arts, he doesn't even want to take care of the sect.
I don't know what kind of ecstasy the Zhongjing Marquis gave to his eldest disciple. He sent many disciples there without telling him, but also blindly encouraged him to go out and seek refuge.
One month ago, he went even further. In order to get himself off the island, he was seduced by Cao Bin's letter and led his disciples to burn Penglai Island to the ground.
Damn it, I just went out to let the wind blow for a while, but when I came back I saw that everything was gone.
If he didn't have only two direct disciples, he would have slapped him to death.
To deceive his disciples into such a state, it shows that Zhongjinghou is not a good person either.
Hearing from the eldest disciple that Marquis Zhongjing had built a luxurious Taoist palace for himself in the south of the Yangtze River, he felt a little hopeful.
"Humph, Biyou Palace? If you are not satisfied, I will turn around and leave!"
The old guy thought a little arrogantly.
At this time, the battle on the official road was over.
If Zhang Wen's people use their power to charge indiscriminately, they may cause some trouble to these green forest heroes.
However, Zhang Wen's men had no armor and were blocked by vehicles, so the Jianghu people's small kung fu had the upper hand, not to mention the martial arts of the Penglai Island disciples.
Seeing Zhang Wen running away in a hurry, the golden lantern sword came over and carefully asked Sister Yang:
"Ms. Yang, do you want us to catch up?"
Although Sister Yang had the urge to kill Zhang Wen, she still shook her head and said:
"Forget it, I don't want to cause any more trouble for Cao Bin..."
At this time, Cao Bin and Bao Zheng were no longer in Hangzhou.
On that day, Bao Zheng invited Cao Bin to travel, actually because he wanted to see the effect of his governance.
The three states of Qu, Wu, and Mu were the places where Cao Bin governed most thoroughly.
The gentry and landlords there were wiped out by Fang La, and the people signed a contract with Cao Bin, and there was basically no discount in executing his orders.
Moreover, they were already grateful for Cao Bin's relief, and they even followed his words.
So the Farmland Research Bureau, established by veteran farmers and scholars, came into play.
Looking at Cao Bin sitting on an armchair under the trees in the farmland enjoying the service of his maid, Bao Zheng did not bother to scold him and said with joy in his eyes:
"Rice output has actually increased by 30%? Good, good, good!"
The new magistrate of Muzhou looked at Bao Zheng, who had muddy feet, and felt disgusted for a moment. Then he looked at Cao Bin with envy, and then sighed:
"Not only that, if we collect taxes, we can collect twice as much food this year than in previous years."
"It's a pity that this year's grain tax belongs to Lord Cao, and the court has suffered a huge loss..."
After saying that, he stamped his feet helplessly.
Cao Bin took a sip of the newly squeezed juice and then curled his lips and said:
"Don't look at me like a creditor. You are clearly hurting me with your words. What do you mean, the food tax is all mine?"
"That's the military supplies I temporarily borrowed from the merchants and gentry out of consideration for the people. Do you want to default on the debt..."
