Tang Ziyi raised his cold knife and the soldiers behind him advanced with their spears.
Tang Ziyi looked at the motley crew with a sinister smile. There was nothing in Dragon Eye County that he did not dare to do. Especially after he racked his brains to obtain the Hundred Eight Dragon Painted Inkstone for Zhong Chengxin, it was equivalent to having a gold medal to avoid death. This life-saving talisman given by the Zhong family was much more effective than the talisman drawn by the Wudang Zhenren. The military officers of each county always had the custom of exchanging military exploits with gangs. Far away from the war at the border, it was unrealistic to want to be promoted quickly without staining their hands with blood. Of course, Tang Ziyi was not going to massacre the Fish-dragon Gang just because of Liu Nerong. Instead, he was going to kill the more than one hundred youths of the Fish-dragon Gang who violated the rules and should be killed. This was a great merit that was enough to make the next County Governor of Longjing County, Zhong Chengxin, beam with joy. Since that soldier Cao of unknown origin had bumped into the horse's hooves, Tang Ziyi did not mind killing one more. As long as the stabilizing General Zhong was in Longjing County, not to mention Longjing County, even Lingzhou would not be able to overturn the heavens.
What Xu Beizhi cared about was the deep-rooted marriage alliance and collusion behind Tang Ziyi. On his way to Dragon Eye County, he had a detailed genealogy of Dragon Eye County in his hands. The military officer under Yi, Tang Ziyi, was only a small fish in his eyes and was not enough to mobilize a large force. Xu Beizhi wanted to drag out the new and old governor of Dragon Eye County who was responsible for throwing the fish on the chopping board. As for how to put it into the pot, steaming it or braising it, someone would decide. At this moment, he was more concerned about the elite level of the local soldiers. This would directly determine the strength of the Beiliang cavalry. There were more than two hundred thousand cavalries at the border. If they were defeated, how long could Beiliang last?
Behind Xu Beizhi, Chen Xiliang lowered his head and muttered to himself. His five fingers tapped together. This poor scholar's point of view was completely different from Xu Beizhi. Xu Beizhi traced upwards while Chen Xiliang deduced downwards. The citizens of Beiliang were divided into five classes based on the amount of land. How much resentment did the Fish-dragon Gang have accumulated over the past twenty years under the tyrannical military officers? Everyone knew that Beiliang was supported by the butcher Xu Xiao alone. He supported the three hundred thousand cavalries and supported the millions of poor families in Beiliang. If the door to the northwest of the empire would inevitably change, what benefits would the second King of Beiliang bring to the people?
Of course, Tang Ziyi didn't know that the two scholars didn't treat him as an appetizer. He flicked the Northern Cold Saber in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Take them down! Anyone who disobeys will be beheaded! "
Hsu Fengnian looked up at the sky. A black dot was getting more and more conspicuous. It broke through the clouds and fell straight down. The Blue White Luan, the most handsome feathered bird, hooked Hsu Fengnian's arm with its claws. It flapped its snow-white wings and looked at everyone with cold eyes. Although Hsu Fengnian's realm had deteriorated greatly, it was not to the extent that he could not stop a bird with his arm. He reached out to stroke the head of the Blue White Luan, which was nicknamed Little White. Little White lowered its head and pecked at the horsewhip in its master's hand. It was not difficult for a well-off young master to raise a falcon. However, the difference between a horse's quality and a falcon's quality was like the difference between heaven and earth. Tang Ziyi was born into a proper landowning household and was also the descendant of a general. His eyesight was not bad. He immediately became suspicious. However, he immediately pulled back the arrow he had shot. Just as he was thinking about whether to spare the life of Lieutenant Cao, the entire street behind him seemed to be on the verge of exploding. It was like a giant millstone was rolling nonstop. Tang Ziyi was shocked. This kind of sound was not unfamiliar to a military officer who had been to the border. More than five hundred Youzhou cavalries galloping in the city possessed such shocking power.
Tang Ziyi was already so afraid, let alone the soldiers behind him who had never been to the border. Without the military officer's command, they subconsciously turned their heads to look. Beiliang's military orders were like mountains. They did not stop, but they were much slower.
Wang Zhi, who was unknown in Beiliang's military, strode into the Fish-dragon Gang's martial arts club. This valiant general who had led three thousand cavalries to intercept Han Diaosi outside the Sword Pavilion did not receive the meteoric rise he had expected after making a great contribution. Instead, he was able to have a talk with the Supreme General. His elite soldiers were reduced to only a thousand men. He did not have the title of a real general, but he was as happy as a child. Moreover, after he had personally fought against Han Diaosi, who was the tenth most powerful person in the world, his aura had transformed and become more stable. He was less rough and more mellow. Perhaps he was not far off from the Supreme General Zhong Hongwu. As soon as he entered the martial arts club, except for Hsu Fengnian and the others who had the Flying Feather on their arms, the others immediately lost their arrogance. Even Tang Ziyi quickly sheathed his saber and jumped off his horse. He clasped his fists and said respectfully, "General Tang Ziyi greets General Wang!"
Wang Zhi only glanced at Xu Beizhi intentionally or unintentionally. After their eyes met, he quietly looked away. As his gaze wandered, Old Gang Leader Liu and the others who had been in Jianghu for most of their lives felt a little scared. This general was definitely not someone Tang Ziyi could compare to.
The forces of Beiliang's Jianghu had always been weak and scattered. This was not because Beiliang's boorish men were not brave enough or not united enough. It was just that Beiliang's army was too fierce and good at fighting. Wang Zhi did not recognize the white-haired Xu Fengnian, who was wearing a mask and holding a whip in his hand, nor did he recognize the humble scholar Chen Xiliang. He only recognized Xu Beizhi, because according to Ren Tu, even if Wang Zhi and his deputy general Hong Shuwen, as well as a thousand riders, all died, this scholar was not allowed to die. Before leaving Liangzhou, Ren Tu had promised that within three years, there would be one of the four deputy commanders of Beiliang's cavalry, Wang Zhi! It was easy to imagine how important this soldier named Xu Beizhi was to the entire Beiliang. If he did not know Xu Beizhi's shocking true identity, Wang Zhi would have thought that this kid was the General's illegitimate son. "You motherf * cker, you dare to kill Xu Beizhi who is related to my future? Even if the has-been Zhong Hongwu personally drew his saber, I, Wang Zhi, would dare to kill you! "
After Hong Shuwen left the Phoenix Battalion, he could be said to have reached the sky in a single bound. In the battle of Iron Gate Pass, he killed six people of the Palace Guards and one Golden Saber Imperial Bodyguard with two sabers. Although two of the heads were obtained by picking up scraps, it had always been a skill to survive in a hurried battle. Hong Shuwen's splendid battle record had almost overshadowed Lieutenant Yuan Meng's style. He could be said to be the most outstanding fierce man below the top masters. Other than Hong Shuwen, there were more than forty other light cavalry soldiers from the Phoenix Battalion who had infiltrated the other armies. They had all crossed the first threshold to become Lieutenants. These people were like Hong Shuwen at the moment. They were promoted extremely quickly, but their reputations were still relatively unknown. The fact that they had once been White Horse Righteous Followers was also quietly covered up.
Hong Shuwen followed behind General Wang Zhi with two sabers hanging from his waist. As usual, he looked drowsy and dispirited, like a tiger taking a nap.
Wang Zhi did not hesitate. He laughed coldly and said, "Remove your sabers!"
Being forced to remove one's saber in the Beiliang Army was undoubtedly a great humiliation. It was equivalent to the civil officials of the imperial court being forced to remove their official status.
Tang Ziyi's expression was ugly. He slowly removed his saber. Although he was very afraid of this foreign general whose background was a mystery, he still removed his saber. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and asked, "May I be so bold as to ask, general, why do you want me to remove my saber?"
