Du Mingzhi stood on the fortification built by the grain truck, looking gloomily at the blazing battlefield ahead.
There were four enemies, but he only saw three, and the other one didn't know where he went.
"Perhaps he was hacked to death with random knives." Du Mingzhi thought viciously.
Staring at the three brave figures who seemed to be in a deserted land, he slowly raised a sinister smile on his lips, gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will reward each of you with a crossbow arrow and send you to the west!"
After saying that, he raised a red flag in his right hand.
Five octagonal heavy crossbows were already on the strings, waiting for Du Mingzhi's order.
The red flag in Du Mingzhi's hand suddenly waved down.
He didn't care whether the octagonal heavy crossbow would accidentally injure his own troops, because as long as he shot and killed these three thieves, he would only get credit without punishment, and no one would ask how many of his own troops were injured by the crossbow arrows.
However, the sound of the crossbow arrows he was expecting did not sound.
I saw a black shadow appearing like a ghost on the high platform where the octagonal heavy crossbow was built, with a mace in its hand bang bang bang five consecutive strikes.
Boom boom boom, the five octagonal heavy crossbows instantly shattered into pieces.
"Ah - someone come and protect me!" Du Mingzhi saw the black shadow on the high platform, his face turned pale with fright, and he yelled.
He thought the shadow was going to attack him, but the shadow ignored him.
"Sir, it's not good! A large number of enemies are coming from the south. The enemies are coming with ferocious force. We can't resist them. Please support us!"
"Sir, there are also a large number of enemies attacking from the east and west! Support is needed!"
"I-I-" Du Mingzhi was in a state of confusion, then his eyes darkened and he fell down from the fortification.
The fighting lasted for nearly an hour before stopping.
"Sir, wake up, wake up!"
Du Mingzhi woke up when he heard the calling in his ears. He opened his eyes and saw the face of his adjutant Wei Long. After a moment of daze, he couldn't help crying out: "Commander Wei, I'm looking for you. Let's take a ride on the road to Huangquan." Keep me company."
"Sir, we are not dead yet." Wei Long said with a bitter smile.
"Not dead?" Du Mingzhi was stunned when he heard this.
"But we are not far away from death. Because the disaster relief money and money have been robbed, and most of the food and supplies have been robbed, I'm afraid the only way to apologize is to die." Wei Long said with a bitter face.
"Haha, I'm not dead! I'm not dead! Haha -" Du Mingzhi suddenly stood up and laughed wildly.
He didn't hear Wei Long's words behind him, he only knew that he was not dead and that nothing was more important than being alive.
…
"Is there anything you want to ask?"
On the way back to the imperial capital, Ye Mingyue asked Zhang Xiaozu and the other three.
"What can I ask?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked.
Ye Mingyue was slightly startled, then shook his head and smiled: "It seems that there is nothing to ask."
"Other than our Emperor, who else dares to steal disaster relief money and food?" Niu Dawa curled her lips.
When they knew that the target of the robbery was a disaster relief team, they guessed who the mastermind was behind the scenes.
"Did you steal three carts of money?" Ye Mingyue glared at Niu Dawa.
"No." Niu Dawa shook his head and denied it.
"I saw you put silver into Xumi mustard seeds." Ye Mingyue sneered.
"You must be dazzled." Niu Dawa said.
"Does it take so much trouble to deal with a wealthy family?" Zhang Xiaozhu still couldn't help but ask his doubts.
"It's not difficult to deal with the Du family. What's difficult is that there is a Wentian Sect behind the Du family, so we must learn from others." Ye Mingyue said.
"But anyone with a discerning eye will know who did it at a glance." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Is there any evidence? No evidence is slander. Do you dare to slander His Majesty?" Ye Mingyue asked.
…
The relief materials sent to northern Xinjiang were robbed, all the money was robbed, and more than half of the food supplies were robbed.
The news spread back to the Imperial Capital, and the entire Imperial Capital City was shocked.
What was then reported was how Du Mingzhi delayed his trip, how he threatened to "receive the emperor's order from outside", how he directed the army to fight indiscriminately, causing the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity, and so on.
Su Hanlin was furious and wanted to kill the capital Mingzhi for questioning.
Du Chengbi entered the palace several times to meet the emperor, but was turned away by Su Hanlin.
"What happened? Why didn't my son come back with a message?" Du Chengbi put his hands behind his back and looked towards the north, feeling very anxious and distressed.
But he didn't know that in the far north, Du Mingzhi was also looking in the direction of the imperial capital, feeling the same anxiety and distress in his heart: "What should I do? Why doesn't my father reply for so long? Is it because I got involved and the whole family was imprisoned?"
Du Mingzhi did not dare to turn around and go back to Beijing. He kept delaying on the pretext of looking for the robbed money and materials.
But secretly, he immediately sent his confidants to rush back to the imperial capital and ordered him to tell his father Du Chengbi the details of the robbery, hoping that his father would find a way to save him.
However, several confidants were sent out one after another, but none of them returned, and no news came back.
Du Mingzhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
…
"Su Zheng, tomorrow is the registration time for the Iron Cavalry Competition. Are you afraid to go?"
Su Zheng and Di Xiayun walked side by side on Shaowen Road of Taiping College.
The former had a straight face, as if someone owed him five million silver.
The latter had a gentle smile on his face, his posture was elegant, and he was generous.
"Look, Su Zheng is bothering Senior Sister Xia Yun again."
"Look at his stinky face, it's like Senior Sister Xia Yun owed him something in her previous life."
"Senior Sister Xia Yun has a good temper. Anyone else would definitely ignore this good-for-nothing scumbag."
"Hey, Senior Sister Xia Yun is so pitiful. How come she is engaged to Su Zheng?"
“Flowers stuck in cow dung!”
Everyone in Taiping College knew that Su Zheng was engaged to Di Xiayun. Everyone in Taiping College knew that Su Zheng was a scumbag. Everyone in Taiping College knew that Di Xiayun was gentle and beautiful. Everyone in Taiping College was grieving for Di Xiayun. , the whole college——
To sum it up:
Su Zheng, a good-for-nothing scumbag, has no self-awareness at all. He relies on his status as a prince and a marriage contract to pester the gentle, kind, beautiful and noble Di Xiayun all day long. Poor Di Xiayun's lifelong happiness will be ruined. In the hands of the good-for-nothing scumbag Su Zheng.
Except for the two parties involved, Su Zheng and Di Xiayun, no one knew that all of this was created by Di Xiayun. No one knew that the gentle and kind-hearted beauty in front of others showed a cruel face to Su Zheng when no one was around.
Su Zheng never defended himself.
His poor vanity made him unwilling and afraid to tell others how badly he was bullied by his fiancée.
Of course, he also knew that no one would believe him even if he defended himself.
Because he really is a useless scumbag.
Who would believe the words of a useless scumbag?
"Are you so eager to be my slave?" Su Zheng asked with a sneer.
"What?" Di Xiayun suddenly stopped and shouted at Su Zheng: "Are you going to sign up for the Iron Cavalry Competition tomorrow?!"
This scream immediately attracted the attention of many people on the road.
"Are you starting your performance again?" Su Zheng sneered.
Di Xiayun ignored him, but showed a concerned expression, looked at Su Zheng and said loudly: "Su Zheng, actually you don't need to prove yourself in this way, I am your fiancée, no matter you are No matter what happens, I will never leave you."
"What should I do if I suddenly want to whip you?" Su Zheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked.
Di Xiayun ignored him and continued: "Since you have made up your mind, I can't say anything else. Let me accompany you to register tomorrow?"
Snapped!
Without any warning, Su Zheng slapped Di Xiayun on the face, and his fair and tender cheek suddenly swelled with five bright red fingerprints.
Di Xiayun stayed where he was, even forgetting the pain on his face.
Su Zheng looked down at his right hand, feeling so happy that every pore in his body was opened.
He moved his eyes to his left hand.
Snapped!
He only hesitated for a moment, and then slapped the other side of Di Xiayun's face hard.
"Haha, it feels so damn good!"
Su Zheng laughed comfortably, and then strode away under the shocked eyes of everyone around him.
"Wow--"
After a while, Di Xiayun woke up from his daze, curled his lips, and burst into tears.
Su Zheng strode towards Yunzhu Courtyard without even turning his head. He couldn't help but frown, showing a worried expression.
Because tomorrow is the registration day for the Iron Cavalry Competition, in addition to the 18 people participating in the competition who need to be present to register, their instructors also need to be present, otherwise they will not be eligible to participate.
In other words, Zhang Xiaozu had to sign up with them.
But since Zhang Xiaozhu asked for leave from Su Jin, he has just disappeared from the world and has not shown up yet.
So Su Zheng was worried.
But God seemed to hear the sorrow in his heart. When he stepped into Yunzhu Courtyard, the figure he wanted to see through the stars and the moon finally appeared in front of him.
