At the age of thirty, Kang Taineng stood out from the barbarian gang of dandies who were waiting to die, and assumed the position of a fifth-grade general.
Although it is because he can and dares to fight and has good martial arts skills, it is also because he knows how to adapt to the situation and can endure what others cannot tolerate.
The huge humiliation of being grabbed by the throat and lifted up in the air made him almost want to vomit blood and almost become furious.
However, deep down in his heart, he clearly knew that the anger at this time was of no use at all, it was just making him die faster.
Even if the other party is cut into pieces afterwards, so what, your own life is gone.
"This... this is a misunderstanding. The assassin was shot several times. It should be difficult to move at this time, but... Master Zhang Kun, you are full of energy and strong, and you are not injured. I think it is the general who admitted his mistake. people."
After saying these words, Kangtai felt that he had exhausted all his strength.
Based on his intuition on the battlefield and the opponent's cold eyes filled with murderous intent, he was absolutely certain that the assassin was the young man in front of him...
Jing Da and Jing Er died in his hands, and most of those foreign temple warriors also died in his hands.
However, he did not dare to say it and could not say it.
I still have to think hard to find a way to excuse the other party...
He had never experienced such a frustrating thing in his life. At this time, he could only lower his eyes and pretend to be obedient, so as not to let any trace of the anger and murderous intent in his eyes leak out.
"That's right. If you don't have evidence, don't randomly look for people to blame. I know that the general sometimes leads troops to perform military duties outside and has a bad habit of killing good people and taking credit. But in the capital, don't do anything random. There are some things you can’t afford, and there are some people you can’t offend.”
Zhang Kun reached out and patted Kangtai's cheek and said pointedly.
But I was even more wary.
Good guy.
I can tolerate this.
He is a character...
The more this happened, the more murderous intent boiled in his heart. This general, whose name he still didn't know, probably hated him completely.
He deliberately wanted to crush the other party to death.
The environment in front of me is obviously not suitable.
Outside the Yuanshun Escort Bureau, there were at least a thousand sergeants at this time, fully armed and blocking the surrounding area. If we really killed this guy, I'm afraid those sergeants would go crazy and fight to the death.
There are more than 200 people in the escort agency. Even if they are blocked by houses, they will most likely lose more than they win when faced with an attack by more than a thousand people. They are likely to be wiped out.
Even if he relied on force and was able to kill most of the opponent's men in a stalemate and still escape, the consequences would be too tragic.
What a wise man would not do.
The two of them were each thinking about their own concerns and fears, and the scene unexpectedly became peaceful.
After a while, Kangtai couldn't bear it anymore...
He felt that his head was starting to feel dizzy, probably because he had been holding his throat for too long, had difficulty breathing, had a lack of blood in his head, and was feeling a little uncomfortable physically.
At that moment, he could no longer care about his face, so he squeezed his voice and said: "Master Zhang, can you put me down first and then talk... Let me go, don't worry, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no reason for us to be hostile."
"Yes, General Kangtai has already admitted his mistake. Master Zhang, you still want to catch him and do whatever you want to do, so as not to hurt the harmony."
Qi Fulin quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Just now, soldiers blocked the door, but he was shocked.
Seeing that there is a turning point at this time, there is no way to delay it. If another accident occurs, it will not be good.
Hong Huatong also helped.
"Zhang Kun, it's better to resolve enemies than to end them. It's just that we recognized the wrong person. There's no need to hold on to such a trivial matter, forget it."
Are you pigs?
Seeing Qi Fulin and Hong Huatong talking like this, there were actually a large number of escorts and escorts who all agreed in their eyes.
Zhang Kun was speechless.
Do you believe it or not, if I release this barbarian general, he will immediately order an attack as soon as he reaches a safe place?
If you believe some people or things, you are a fool.
However, Qi Fulin, Hong Huatong and others don't know the inside story, so it's not surprising that they have such luck.
Stupid is a bit stupid, but it's not easy to explain to them why.
He didn't say much, just said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer."
Time passed by anxiously, and a stick of incense passed in the blink of an eye.
The situation in the lobby of Yuanshun Escort Agency seemed to be stagnant.
A young man in a green robe captured a barbarian general in armor with a wound on his head.
Just standing quietly in the center of the hall...
Everyone watched helplessly, and no one dared to move.
Even the thirty personal guards who came in with Kangtai could only watch helplessly.
The reason is simple: it is a rat-proof device.
All it takes is someone turning on a gun safety, or someone walking forward with a knife.
No one can guarantee that the young man standing there like a statue will have his hands sore and easily twist off their general's head?
After a while, Zhang Kun heard a commotion outside.
A large number of people and horses were moving, and shouts and shouts were heard...
He looked relaxed and said with a smile, "Here he comes."
Everyone looked up and saw the gate opening, surrounded by gray-white military uniforms and soldiers with guns, moving out of the way like a tide.
Another group of energetic soldiers in black uniforms, holding swords and raising guns, appeared in front.
Both sides faced each other with guns raised, and no one dared to make the first move.
In front of the soldiers in black military uniforms, two cavalrymen passed quickly...
One man was wearing a straight military uniform, sitting upright on a horse.
The other man was tall and majestic, with a sword handle exposed on his shoulder and red silk fluttering in the wind.
"Chief escort..."
"The chief escort is back, and he also brought the right army of the Wuwei... It's okay."
"So this is what Chief Zhang was waiting for. How did he know Mr. Wang would send troops to rescue him?"
Everyone in the escort office let out a loud cheer when they saw it.
Looking at Zhang Kun again, his eyes were full of admiration.
Was this planned in advance? Or was it an accident?
However, judging from the presence of his old god and the calmness with which he has been waiting quietly, it is possible that he had foreseen it in advance.
This is not simple.
Wang Wu dismounted in front of the door and walked into the hall in three or two steps. He glanced at Kang Tai with a gloomy expression, "Zhang Kun, let General Kang go...Thank you for your hard work."
Of course Zhang Kun no longer waited at this time, threw Kang Tai on the ground, and turned to look at the new group of soldiers with slight curiosity.
He roughly guessed where this army came from.
Da Dao Wang Wu has been busy with reform matters all day long, and of course he is not without support.
It is unrealistic for so many people to succeed in reform simply by relying on their passion and sharp tongue.
They also have their own force.
It was under this circumstance that Yuan Shuangcheng was recommended by some reformists to train the new army.
General Yuan, who is known as a military wizard, spent only a few months training a 3,000-strong army, equipped with the most advanced ordnance today...
Moreover, military discipline is very strict, and they are not afraid of death when fighting.
In terms of combat effectiveness, it is several levels stronger than the Imperial Wu Zhong Army and the Fengtai Camp troops.
The mental state is obviously different.
Why would you guess that the newly trained soldiers of the Wuwei Youjun would not sit back and watch the Yuanshun Escort Bureau be surrounded.
It's actually very simple.
Now, the court was divided into two factions, attacking and criticizing.
The reform faction wanted to abolish officials, cancel the imperial examinations, and set up schools.
The voices in the court and among the people are getting louder and louder, and they have taken over the general trend...
Although the resistance is strong, it is still struggling. From a superficial perspective, the reformists actually have the absolute upper hand.
At least, the public opinion level has been completely controlled.
All major governors across the country expressed support. Newspapers from various places are also trumpeting the benefits of reform and strengthening the country.
One of the reasons why there is such momentum is that foreigners are supporting it.
The most important reason is that the person standing behind them is the emperor, representing orthodoxy.
Emperor Guangxu personally stood on the platform, with power in his hands, and some veteran ministers were waving flags and shouting, which was unstoppable.
Even if there are many obstacles to the implementation of the reform, it will be carried out slowly and irreversibly.
Under such circumstances, any large-scale mobilization of troops and horses in the capital would affect the sensitive nerves of some people.
No one dares to act rashly.
Because advantage does not equal victory.
Although the Queen Mother of the West Palace has been delegating power for a long time, most of the troops are still in her hands.
For example, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Fengtai camp.
For another example, there are tens of thousands of elites of the Forbidden Army... The commanders of the Nine Sects patrol the Fifth Battalion and the Nine Sects Qianzong.
Also, a group of master Ouchi guards.
Either overtly or covertly, it is all in the hands of the old minister who is close to the West Palace.
With military power in hand, the old Buddha can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai even if he does nothing... No one dares to force her, but they are worried that if she is pushed to the limit and uses force to take over power, that will be really bad.
One party has gained face, and the other has gained lizi.
The imperial party and the rear party were still in a state of arguing, and no one made up their mind to use force.
Everyone knows that once force is used at this time, people's hearts will be scattered and the country will be in chaos.
Not to mention reforming to become stronger, if there is civil strife, Da Qing Country’s empty pretensions will collapse without anyone pushing it.
How can you control the world?
Therefore, what General Kangtai did had already stepped on a certain sensitive line. The reform faction will never allow it.
After Wang Wu got the news, it was logical to send troops to help.
This was Zhang Kun's own inference based on the situation in the capital during this period and the missing historical data in his mind.
Now it seems that there was indeed no misjudgment.
…
"General Kang, the Yuanshun Escort Agency is not a place for your military guard to show off your power. Please come back."
Wang Wu didn't give Kangtai any face and scolded him directly.
Two days after he left home, a fire broke out in the backyard. Was it the intention of the West Palace, or was it the general's own initiative?
Judging from the situation at hand, this general is probably acting on his own initiative. He is used to being domineering and cannot see the situation clearly.
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. I will say goodbye now."
Kangtai forced a smile and apologized quickly.
While talking, he led the people out of the front door in despair. With a whistle, the Wuwei army retreated like a tide, and no one stopped them.
Kangtai left the Yuanshun Escort Bureau, gathered his troops, and then quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was filled with anger and looked back with extremely crazy eyes.
"What a great Yuanshun Escort Agency, what a great Zhang Kun."
"After we go back, prepare gunmen, go to Yuanshun Escort Station, rent a few private houses, and send ten gunmen to guard there day and night... I don't believe it, that Zhang Kun is always vigilant."
Kangtai is also a martial artist himself, so he naturally understands that martial arts practitioners have sharp five senses.
But no matter how sensitive the method is, the other party will definitely not notice it before the attack occurs.
In this complex street environment, it is impossible to detect in advance. Once you enter the ambush circle and face a saturation attack with firearms, even the most powerful master-level master is likely to be killed directly.
So angry.
Old and new hatreds suddenly surged into my heart.
He felt like he couldn't sleep unless he killed the man.
…
"Well done, Brother Zhang. I've heard about the matter. If you hadn't been there to carry me these days, the escort agency would have been very difficult."
Da Dao Wang Wu's face didn't look good.
During this period, not only was there trouble in the own escort agency, but there was also trouble in Wanmu Thatched Cottage.
Desperate gangsters who came from nowhere launched suicidal attacks on those scholars and scholars. With a little negligence, three or four students from Wanmu Thatched Cottage died.
These people are the backbone of the reform faction, advanced students who are at the forefront.
If they cannot be protected, they will be assassinated by others, and the great cause of reform will inevitably be curbed.
Compared with that major incident, some of the business difficulties of our own escort agency are not that important.
He couldn't get away.
"It's okay. As long as the reputation of the chief escort is still there, there won't be any big changes. No matter who the opponent is, you have to worry about three points."
Zhang Kun smiled.
"That's right, my knife is still somewhat useful."
Wang Wu burst out laughing.
"Come on, let me introduce to you. This is General Wenyu Zhangwen. Mr. Yuan was worried, so he sent General Wen with a thousand new troops... Sure enough, Kangtai didn't dare to fart. Just retreat and leave.”
"Thank you, General Wen, for rescuing the siege."
Zhang Kun cupped his hands and smiled.
"Master Zhang, you're welcome."
Wen Yuzhang raised his hand in a military salute, his eyes were calm and his face was as iron as steel.
Without making any more greetings, he nodded to Wang Wu, waved his hand, and the sergeants under his command walked away in uniform steps, carrying their guns.
"Stern and cold-blooded, I heard that Yuan Shuangcheng adopted the Western-style military training method of the Federation of Will, and the troops he trained were very good at fighting, and they won the attention of all the princes in the court. Brother Zhang, don't blame General Wen and the others for not knowing etiquette. In fact, , This is how these people behave, and they treat everyone like this..."
Wang Wu explained from the side.
I was afraid that Zhang Kun would be dissatisfied.
Moreover, it can be heard from his tone that this man highly respected the Inspector Yuan Shuangcheng, Mr. Yuan, who was very knowledgeable about military affairs.
Zhang Kun had a strange look in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but he thought about it but didn't say it.
As the saying goes, you can't be close without distance.
If you talk too much, it will be a mistake. It may trigger unrest in advance and make the reform more difficult.
Now it didn't happen, and I have no evidence.
No matter how much you say it, it will only make people laugh, but it will have no effect at all.
You know, today's Big Sword Wang Wu, Tan Weixin and Yuan Shuangcheng are so good that they can wear a pair of pants and wish they could even sleep together every day.
If you say bad things about them, aren't you asking for trouble?
Looking at Da Dao Wang Wu's slightly tired face and his slightly gray mane, Zhang Kun didn't want to say anything.
The strength is not as good as others, and the power is not as good as others. Even if you know some things, nothing can be changed.
It's better to make them happy, at least this energy will not be lost.
As Tan Weixin said, even if he fails, he can still wake up the world with blood.
Even though some roads are impassable for the time being, someone has to open the way and walk them...
…
Wang Wu came back in a hurry and left in a hurry.
He didn't stay in the escort agency for too long. After a few words of explanation, he didn't even talk to his biological daughter Wang Jingya, and then he threw everything aside.
Zhang Kun couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw Wang Jingya's somewhat disappointed look.
Therefore, every person with great ambitions is not very qualified for his family.
Human energy is limited, and if you can take care of one side, you can't take care of the other.
He made an excuse, pushed Li Xiaowan, Wang Jingya and others away, and returned to his own quiet room in the escort agency.
Only then do you have some free time to take a good look at the attribute bar.
You should also improve yourself well.
A full 18 dragon energy points, shining with golden light.
At this time, he was slightly satisfied.
It was not in vain that he fought a series of battles and suffered a gunshot wound. It was a hard day's work.
He had used his spare parts to treat illnesses, and had accumulated 5 points of dragon energy, which he used to protect himself, but he did not dare to use any of it.
On the long street at the entrance of the hutong, he killed five temple warriors with lightning speed, and he discovered that all of these people had deep grievances.
Perhaps because of their status as foreigners, they are used to being domineering in the land of Daqing Country. I don’t know how many people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Or maybe these people are particularly active and have harmed many people...
The specific reason cannot be determined, but among the five lives, some contributed a little dragon energy, and some contributed two points of dragon energy, allowing Zhang Kun to gain a total of 8 points of dragon energy.
I have to say that this is a great gain.
Except for the foreign temple warriors here.
There is also the escort team of Yuanshun Escort Agency.
Yuan Guangyao and Tang Wen both contributed 1 point of dragon energy each. These two people, including the past, have each contributed 2 points of dragon energy to Zhang Kun, which can be regarded as an achievement of worship and respect.
As for Wu Zhongda, he didn't give it this time.
He has already given two points of dragon energy.
These people, even if Zhang Kun asks them to fight to the death next time, they probably won't hesitate.
Compared with the acquisition of dragon energy points, Zhang Kun does not really need this kind of conviction and respect.
However, the efforts are rewarded and the mood is finally comfortable.
As for the head-on confrontation with eight hundred armed guards later, he escaped with injuries and killed nearly twenty people.
Surprisingly, I also got 3 points of dragon energy, which was unexpected.
I don’t know who’s feelings were touched.
In the escort bureau, after the control of General Kangtai, after the siege was rescued, some people who had an inexplicable and aloof attitude towards themselves, including two unnamed escorts, each contributed a little dragon energy.
Presumably, those two people have changed their minds and will take the initiative to join them soon.
People's hearts are very complex and changeable, and gaining trust and respect from everyone is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.
Zhang Kun actually doesn't care much about this.
All he wants is dragon energy.
