As the horses approached, Zhao Ping recognized the person.
It was Peng Yue, the county guard who left him in the afternoon.
He was accompanied by Yi Zhengbo, the county official's deputy.
Both of them were wearing armor, and behind them were more than a dozen officers and soldiers riding tall horses, also wearing cloth armor.
Hindsight!
Zhao Ping muttered to himself.
But Zhao Ping can also understand.
After all, Peng Yue was the county guard, and he had been the county guard for ten years.
He wanted to climb higher, so he couldn't do without the recommendation of people in the court.
Liu Wenhao was also the eldest son of Liu Lai, the Minister of Household Affairs, so befriending Liu Wenhao was equivalent to being befriended Liu Lai.
Peng Yue didn't help Liu Wenhao deal with him, which was already considered a good thing.
Coupled with what he just said, it was obvious that he was on his side, but he just came a little late.
Peng Yue continued: "I lead an army of three thousand. If you dare to harm Zhao Jiuguan, I will order you to be captured and you will never come back."
"Send your army back."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said: "The battle here is over."
"it's over?"
Peng Yue was stunned, reined in his horse and stopped.
He sent troops behind Liu Wenhao, but he moved slowly.
Hearing the screams, he was worried that Zhao Ping could not withstand Liu Wenhao's men, so he quickly rushed over with more than ten riders to help.
I didn’t expect that it was over.
Torches were lit all around, illuminating the battlefield.
Peng Yue also saw Liu Wenhao.
He fell in front of a group of strong men carrying axes, with one leg showing white bones and bleeding profusely.
I don’t know if it’s life or death.
Peng Yue frowned.
But it didn't say what it was.
Then he saw Yun Chengze, right next to Liu Wenhao, squatting there with his head in his hands, shivering.
The three guards were also tied up and thrown aside.
Further forward, there are Liu Mengru, Yun Man and Zhao Ping.
Seeing that Zhao Pingan was fine, Peng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Mr. Zhao, isn't it inappropriate for you to hurt Liu Wenhao like this?"
"Not suitable?"
Zhao Ping raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think of Governor Peng?"
"Let him hurt me?"
"Or are you saying that Governor Peng is on Liu Wenhao's side and wants to fight against me?"
"Now you are bringing thousands of officers and soldiers to avenge Liu Wenhao?"
"No, no, Mr. Zhao, don't get me wrong, I will never be your enemy."
Peng Yue was shocked and hurriedly explained: "I just feel that Liu Wenhao is the eldest son of the Minister of Household Affairs in the capital, and now you have severely injured him..."
Peng Yue took another look at Liu Wenhao, who was seriously injured, and sighed.
He changed his words and said: "With his kind of injury, even if he barely survives, he will probably be a cripple."
"It's like you have directly offended the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
"Is this a good deal?"
“It’s useless to say it’s cost-effective or not.”
Zhao Ping said coldly: "He wanted to kill me, but I killed him instead. It is only natural."
"Anyway, Zhao Ping's code of conduct is that I will not offend others if they don't offend me. If someone offends me, I must be polite. If someone offends me again, I will eradicate the root cause."
"In the county town, he asked the guards to attack Buzhuang by force. Fortunately, the county guard took action in time. I had already given him courtesy at that time."
"Now he has intensified his efforts and brought a large number of men to attack Xiping Village at night. He is looking for death."
Zhao Ping became more and more stern as he spoke, wishing he could chop off Liu Wenhao's head right now.
If Ying Yi had not appeared in time today, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Finally, he glared at Peng Yue and said: "Peng Commander, if nothing happens, please go back with your army. We need to clean up the battlefield."
"Lest the people see blood stains tomorrow and be frightened."
"It's okay, let me help you clean up."
Peng Yue jumped off his horse and ordered Yi Zhengbo to lead the team back. He ran to Zhao Ping and asked if the others were injured. He was very enthusiastic.
Zhao Ping didn't mind either.
Development in Xiping Village is inseparable from this county guard.
If you have a good relationship, you can get the green light all the way.
The battlefield was cleared quickly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the arrangement was completed.
More than fifty enemies were killed, all of them were the entourage brought by Liu Wenhao, the domestic slaves brought by Tong Bai, and four guards including Liu Yi.
But Tong Bai, who was injured in the first wave, fell to the ground and tripped someone on top of him, allowing him to survive by chance.
The rest were all taken prisoner.
On my side, no one died.
There were a few injured.
After Li Hu left, no one could resist Liu Jia's bravery, and he injured several bodyguards.
Fortunately, there were many people besieging Liu Jia, and they were rescued in time. They were all slightly injured and would not lose their lives.
Just after the count was completed, there was another sound of horse hooves on the official road.
Before the person arrived, the voice had already been heard.
"Liu Wenhao, if you dare to hurt your husband, even if I risk my life, your entire Liu family will be buried with your husband."
It's Xu Tianhua.
He got the news even later.
Simply get a little closer to Xiping Village, and immediately summon Zhang Hewangba and other government servants from the county government to rush here quickly.
Seeing the figures constantly passing by in front of him, he thought there was a fierce battle ahead, so he yelled.
As soon as the voice fell, the man also rode a horse and rushed in front of the crowd.
"This, is it over?"
Xu Tianhua looked around and felt relieved when he saw that Zhao Ping and Liu Mengru were both safe and sound.
Jumped off the horse, frowned and said, "Mr. Zhao, I got the news a little late. I'm late. I hope you won't take offense."
"Hahaha."
Zhao Ping burst out laughing, "The fact that Magistrate Xu came here has already given me enough face, so how can I dare to blame him?"
"It's over here, let's go back and have tea."
"good."
Xu Tianhua nodded and agreed.
He also wanted to see what Zhao Ping planned next. After all, Liu Wenhao, the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue, was involved.
If one thing is not done well, there may really be a rebellion.
Must be treated with caution.
On the other side, Mu Qiaoqiao, Mu Jianzhang, Zheng Tu and others stood at the entrance of Xiping Village.
Looking up and down, waiting for the outcome of the battle ahead.
If he wins, Mu Jianzhang will follow Zhao Ping to work hard and learn his skills seriously.
If Zhao Ping loses, he will first release Zheng Tu and others, and then confront Liu Wenhao under the leadership of Mu Qiaoqiao.
What you see in victory and defeat is the first wave of people who came back and the formation that came back.
If the first wave of people to come back is Zhao Ping, and they are in neat formation, with smiles on their faces, it means they have won the battle, and they will greet them and congratulate them.
If the formation is in disarray, or it is not Zhao Ping who comes back, it means Zhao Ping is defeated.
They want to fight out and save Zhao Ping.
Then Tian Fuhai came.
A complete stranger.
"Cousin, who is this person?"
Mu Jianzhang asked.
"I don't know him either."
Mu Qiaoqiao said: "I'm not a helper from Xiping Village anyway."
"Judging from the current situation, Liu Wenhao's troops should be divided into two groups, one to intercept Mr., and the other to Xiping Village to find the formula or something."
"Then what are we going to do?"
Mu Jianzhang asked again.
"beat."
Mu Qiaoqiao said coldly: "Whoever dares to invade Xiping Village is my enemy, Mu Qiaoqiao."
"Beat me to death."
"good."
Mu Jianzhang nodded in agreement and released Zheng Tu and the others.
Then, led by a group of guards and entourage, they rushed into the house slave No. 30 led by Tian Fuhai.
The Tian family's slaves are all bought slaves, and the most powerful one is Zhou An, but he is not here.
After he delivered the message, Tian Zhen stayed in Buzhuang, Yun'an County.
The people led by Mu Jianzhang had eight guards and more than ten followers.
Even the followers are carefully selected and have slightly stronger fighting ability.
During the day, Zhao Ping's people drugged Acacia wine and made a trick. He was defeated inexplicably, and he couldn't hold back his anger.
He didn't dare to vent to Zhao Ping.
They can only vent on Tian Fuhai and others.
Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, he opened his bow from left to right and instantly laid the people brought by Tian Fuhai to the ground.
"Stop fighting, why are you hitting me?"
Tian Fuhai kept roaring, "I am Tian Zhen's father, from Mr. Zhao's side. You have beaten the wrong person."
Tian Zhen’s father?
Mu Jianzhang was stunned for a moment.
If you remember correctly, in the courtyard of Mr. Tian Zhen, it was Tian Zhen who regarded himself as a thief and attracted a large number of bodyguards, who almost scared him to the point of peeing.
That...is the enemy.
Teach him a lesson again.
The battle here didn't end until Zhao Ping led his people back.
Zhao Ping didn't know what to say when he saw Tian Fuhai and others lying on the ground wailing in pain, as well as Mu Jianzhang and others standing nearby with expressions on their faces as if they were asking for credit.
"Dad, dad..."
Tian Zhen rushed out to help Tian Fuhai up and asked urgently: "Are you injured?"
"What's going on?"
"Didn't I ask you to guard the entrance of the village to prevent Liu Wenhao and his men from invading Xiping Village?"
"Why did you start fighting with your own people?"
"I……"
Tian Fuhai wanted to cry but had no tears.
Why did the fight start?
How do I know?
I just ran over, thinking I was safe, and then I got beaten.
The key is that the ones who beat them are our own people. Who can we ask to explain this?
"Master Tian, I'm sorry, I didn't know this team was ours."
Mu Jianzhang knew that he was in the wrong and hurriedly stood up and admitted his mistake, "They didn't name themselves, and they were not the people around Mr. Liu. I thought it was Liu Wenhao who split his troops into two groups, so... you also know... and then... At once……"
"Mu Jianzhang, you did this on purpose."
"I will fight with you."
Tian Zhen let go of Tian Fuhai and rushed towards Mu Jianzhang with a roar.
