It was Du Jie who couldn't bear it anymore, took out the Nine Dragon Spear from behind, and shot down Pu Dao with his hand.
The big head with a thin neck whispered to the short winter melon: "This idea is a bit tough, why don't we leave, it's important."
When the short winter melon saw that his weapon was shot down, he was furious and didn't listen to the big head at all. He stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword, then galloped towards Du Jie.
Du Jie didn't talk nonsense to him at all. He waited for the moment when the horse crossed his path, then used the tip of his spear to lift the short winter melon off the horse. Before he landed, he shot him directly in the stomach.
The encounter happened very quickly. Before the slender-necked head could react, he saw the short winter melon rushing up, then flying up, and then, for some unknown reason, he flew to the tip of the gun. The tip of the gun entered from the front and came from the back. Memorize it.
"Ah, no!" The big head with a thin neck shouted, turned the horse and ran away, without any intention of watching the life or death of the short winter melon. Du Jie was not willing to let him go so easily. Seeing that he was about to run away, he swung his gun horizontally, flew over and hit him in the back. He originally wanted to kill him directly, but the moment he hit him, Du Jie thought about it and withdrew his strength. This also hit the thin-necked and big-headed man so hard that he fell off the horse with a "Ouch!"
The old man was still stunned as he was about to be hacked to death with a Pu Dao just now. When he looked back, the two bandits were dead and injured.
Only then did the old man realize that he was saved and no longer had to die. In an instant, the energy he had just shouted was gone, and his whole body fell to the ground like mud.
Du Jie ignored the old man and picked up the dead brain on the ground. Seeing that he didn't react yet. Knowing he was playing dead. Du Jie saw that the man was very clever, so he couldn't help but have a bad taste in his heart, and decided to scare him.
"I really can't help but beat him. Is he going to die now? This neck is too thin. Let me see if I can break it."
When the big head heard this, he immediately didn't dare to pretend anymore: "Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me, my neck is not made of iron, so how can I not break it? I can break it, I can break it."
When Du Jie saw that he was no longer pretending to be dead, he threw him to the ground. The man knew the current situation and hurriedly rolled over and knelt in front of Du Jie: "Hero, please forgive me. Hero, please forgive me. I was forced to do this too." It has nothing to do with me.”
When Du Jie saw him like this, "Shut up, if you don't shut up, you'll stop talking in the future."
When the big head heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly shut up. Du Jie nodded wildly, his neck was already thin, Du Jie thought to himself, if I wait and ask, he might not be able to bear it anymore.
"You answer whatever I ask. Say one more word and I'll cut out your tongue."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"who are you?"
"Good man, I am a soldier, I am a soldier."
"Fart!" Du Jie saw that he was dishonest, so he went up and slapped him.
"When did the soldiers in the northwest commit murder and swindle goods? If you say you are a soldier, I won't ask. I will kill you immediately. Tell the truth."
Big Brain was about to cry, and he took out a token from his arms tremblingly: "Good man, I am really a soldier, but I am not a soldier from the northwest. I am a soldier from the Central Plains." Du Jie was stunned after hearing this. I took the token in his hand and looked at it. It was a wooden sign with "Bei Wu Liu" written on the front and "Zhang Si Wu" written on the back.
"Zhang Siwu?"
"The younger one's name is Zhang Siwu. This Beiwuliu is a branch of the Shenji Battalion in the Imperial Capital. The younger one is a soldier of the Shenji Battalion."
The Shenji Battalion is responsible for guarding Kyoto and will not leave the capital unless there are special circumstances. This person actually said that he was from the Shenji Camp?
Du Jie was a little curious: "You are a soldier from the Shenji Battalion. What did you do in the northwest?"
"this……"
Du Jie saw Guan Bei refused to say anything and said fiercely to him
"Don't tell me? I don't want to listen to you. I'll chop you up for what you just did. Even if the lawsuit goes to the emperor, I won't be afraid. If you don't tell me, just shut up forever."
After saying that, he went to the ground to pick up the Pu Dao that just fell to the ground.
Seeing Du Jie's actions, Big Brain quickly waved his hands: "I say, I say, good man, spare my life, I say, I say."
Du Jie held the knife in his hand and shined it at the sun, finding a good angle to reflect the light onto the skull's face. Then he said calmly: "Think clearly, I don't really want to hear it."
"I said, I said, our boss got the order and came to the northwest to ask Marshal Peng to borrow troops."
"Borrowing troops? What are you borrowing troops for?" Du Jie asked strangely when he heard that the Shenji Battalion came to the northwest to borrow troops. This was not in line with common sense.
"I really don't know the details. It's just that the boss drank too much on the way. I heard him talking nonsense once, saying that the Tatars in the north were about to make a move. There were not enough troops in the north. Do you want to borrow Marshal Peng's troops first?"
"What, the Tatars want troops to invade our country? Is this news true? You are not borrowing troops, you are transferring troops. To transfer troops, you must have the emperor's tiger talisman. Did your boss accept the imperial edict?"
Big Brain shook his head: "That's not true. After receiving the imperial edict, the man named Peng can still be so arrogant."
"What do you mean?" Du Jie heard something in his words.
"We came all the way from the imperial capital and just entered the military camp. It was easy to negotiate with the man named Peng. Unexpectedly, when our boss told us his intention, the man named Peng turned against us and almost beat us out. Our boss ate it. His nose was full of shame and he said that he must go back and read his book. It’s not like I just came out of the camp and met the young master."
Du Jie felt a little relieved after hearing this. If there was no emperor's order and no tiger talisman, the story of the Tatars sending troops to attack was probably a lie. If it was a lie, he would be a little confused.
"Don't you Tianji camp only listen to the emperor? If you didn't follow the emperor's imperial edict, then who asked you to come?"
Big Brain shook his head: "Master, this young one really doesn't know. The young one just came here to make up the numbers. Our boss didn't reveal any information along the way. I also overheard these things."
"Then when did you leave for the northwest?"
"We set out two days ago."
"Two days ago?" Du Jie thought for a moment. They had set out from Ningze to the northwest two days ago and passed by Shujun City. Didn't find anything special. Is the news that the Tatars are about to invade true or false?
Du Jie thought of this and asked again: "How many of you are here in total?"
"Including the small ones, a total of 73 people came. We received the news and rushed to Shujun City from the Imperial Capital overnight. Then we waited for four people in Shujun City and took them to the northwest."
"Waiting for someone in Shujun City? Who are you waiting for?"
"I really don't know about this little one. I only know that there are three generals here, and there is one person who has never shown up. I have never seen him."
Du Jie squinted his eyes slightly, thinking about this matter. It was strange to start from the imperial capital and go to Shujun City and others to mobilize troops at the northwest camp. He thought for a while, then looked at the skull, thinking that nothing more could be asked from his mouth. I was thinking about how to deal with him. After thinking for a long time, Du Jie really didn't want to kill him, but he didn't want to let him go so easily. Finally, Du Jie made up his mind.
"Brain case, you should have hit my hand. I will kill anyone who dares to mess with my mind... |"
After Du Jie said this, he weighed the knife in his hand.
Big Brain was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Seeing that Du Jie didn't follow him, he turned over and knelt on the ground.
"Good man, have mercy on me. For the sake of the little one who has done nothing, please spare me this time. He is also a miserable man. What a good man! What a good man!"
Du Jie listened to him howl for a long time and glared: "Okay, stop howling. I am true to my word, let's go."
"Thank you, good man! Thank you, good man!" Big Brain was ecstatic after hearing this. He kowtowed several times in a hurry, stood up, and prepared to lead the horse away.
"You go and leave the horse behind."
"Ah, good man, this is dozens of miles away from Yongzhou. There is no village or shop in front of us. What will we do if we don't have horses?"
"Either you stay or Ma stays, it's your choice. If you don't want to leave, don't leave."
"No, no, no, I'm going, I'm going." After hearing this, the big brain stopped worrying about the horse, turned around and ran towards Yongzhou, for fear that Du Jie would regret it later.
When Du Jie saw him running away, he stopped caring about it. He thought carefully about what Big Head had just said.
Come to the northwest to borrow troops. The northern troops are not weak. Why come to the northwest to borrow troops? Moreover, the troops that can be borrowed from the northwest are limited, so the imperial court should not issue such an order. Weird?
He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to give up. Wiped off the blood on the Kowloon Gun. Two horses were brought over. The old man was still fainting on the ground from fear.
It took a lot of effort for Du Jie to put him back on the bullock cart. He thought he could go faster with the horse, but he didn't expect the old man to be so timid and fainted from fear.
There was no way, and the old man couldn't be left alone here, so Du Jie tied the two horses to the bullock cart. After taking a look at the unconscious old man, he shook his head with a wry smile and drove the carriage toward the military camp.
When the sun was about to set in the west, we finally saw rows of joint camps in the distance.
The scale of the joint venture is so large that it can be seen everywhere. There are about 150,000 troops in the northwest, and they followed Du Wei into the imperial capital three years ago to receive rewards. After the reward was completed, Marshal Du resigned and went home to retire because of his old age. The little emperor originally wanted to arrange for someone to be the marshal. Unexpectedly, before the army set out to return to the northwest, the man ran to the little emperor and asked to resign. Three people were replaced in a row, and the three of them did not dare to return to the army after not staying for half a day. The little emperor finally had no choice but to ask General Du to recommend one person. After thinking about it, General Du recommended five people to the emperor. Among the five, the little emperor The emperor finally chose Peng Xianzuo, who was not very outstanding, and is now Marshal Peng.
Just as Du Jie was thinking, he saw the observation post in front of him waving a flag at the camp, and then the drums sounded, and a group of men and horses came out of the camp in a fierce manner.
When Du Jie saw the signal, he stopped the cart and stayed there waiting for people to come. Not long after, the team walked up to Du Jie.
Before Du Jie could say anything, the leader seemed to recognize Du Jie and rushed over with great joy: "Young Marshal? Is it the Young Marshal?"
When he got closer and saw that it was Du Jie, he jumped off his horse, picked up his shirt and knelt down: "I have met the young marshal. I heard the news a few days ago that you are coming to the northwest. I didn't expect to see you so soon. . The last time we said goodbye, we haven’t seen each other for three whole years.”
