The Fish-dragon Gang was on the decline these years and it was difficult for them to continue. The younger generation of the Hong Hu Sect and Liujian Sect opened up a path of wealth and became more prosperous day by day. Everyone in the Fish-dragon Gang said that there was a problem with the fengshui. Old Gang Leader Liu had no choice but to find a few experts in Dragon Eye County who were good at fengshui to investigate. He spent a lot of money and did many remedial measures according to the experts, but there was still no improvement. Over time, there was a private rumor that the Yin and Yang clashed. The spearhead was directed at Liu Nerong who was unwilling to get married. At that moment, the Fish-dragon Gang was almost exterminated. How could Liu Nerong's self-reproach be light? Especially after they tied up Dragon Eye City's next parental official Zhong Chengxin, Liu Nerong knew that this disaster definitely wouldn't end just like that. Old gang leader Liu also didn't have any extravagant hopes of establishing himself in Lingzhou. They did not know the details of General Wang Zhi. This general just casually sat on the yellow rosewood armchair that was passed down from the old West Chu to Beiliang. He suppressed Old Gang Leader Liu and the others to the point that they did not dare to breathe loudly. First, he detained the scholars of the Zhong family, which was shocking. Later, even the young master of the Zhong family was not spared. However, nearly a thousand soldiers only dared to cower outside. It was not a good feeling to let the Fish-dragon Gang hang by a thread and be half-dead.
When Old Gang Leader Liu saw the Huaihua Great General Zhong Hongwu stride over the threshold, the old man's heart immediately died and his hands and feet turned cold. He did not think that after provoking the ruthless General Zhong in Beiliang, who could save the Fish-dragon Gang. If he counted with his fingers, he could count them with one hand. Unfortunately, they were all high and mighty figures. For example, the King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao, Chen Zhibao who was conferred the title of King in Shu, the infamous Chu Lushan, and Yan Wenluan who held the military power of Beiliang together with Zhong Hongwu. Old Gang Leader Liu had never seen them from afar in his life. With Zhong Hongwu's arrival, the situation was immediately reversed. Even the arrogant Wang Zhi was obviously a bit nervous. After all, the old man in front of him was the nominal commander of the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Beiliang. He was one of the few talented generals in the Beiliang army. He had followed the army for 30 years and had accumulated many outstanding military achievements in the Spring and Autumn War.............. Wang Zhi put down the teacup and held his breath. He still did not stand up.
Zhong Chengxin, one of the few scholars in Beiliang, was wild with joy. He had never suffered such a big loss in his life. He was casually thrown onto the cold floor like a dumpling by an arrogant soldier. He constantly reminded himself that a soldier would rather be killed than humiliate himself. With great difficulty, he managed to hold back his tears and urine. However, Zhong Chengxin, who valued his reputation, could not resist Tang Ziyi's instigation. In addition, the Eldest Young Master's brother-in-law, who indulged in debauchery, added fuel to the fire. He deliberately said that Wang Zhi intended to use the Zhong Residence to establish his power. As long as the Zhong Residence took a step back and showed weakness, there would be no way back in the future. In the future, Wang Zhi, a military ruffian who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, would swagger over the Zhong Family's head and pee. This hit the Eldest Young Master's itchy ribs. He had always considered himself a scholarly general. Since childhood, he had envied Cao Changqing and Chen Zhibao's reputation for being proficient in both literature and martial arts. Zhong Chengxin usually cultivated in his residence. In addition to playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, he also practiced swordsmanship or discussed the art of war with people at banquets. Everyone respected him as the only son of the Huaihua Great General and did not dare to refute him. They just flattered him. Zhong Chengxin became more and more remorseful. He once personally carved a cross with the words "Born 20 years later, regretting not being born in the Spring and Autumn Period". In the eyes of the scholar, this was just a light and funny private complaint. As an aide, he acted cautiously and was also good at acting. Since Zhong Chengxin insisted on having a taste of personally leading an army, he was happy to add fuel to the fire of the Fish-dragon Gang. However, he did not expect Wang Zhi to be so ruthless and directly capture him. He was surprised and secretly afraid, not because of Wang Zhi's rude and unreasonable attitude, but because of the unreasonable calmness of the young people of the Fish-dragon Gang. He looked down on the embroidered pillow Zhong Chengxin, but it did not mean that he looked down on all the disciples of the aristocratic families. Could it be that as he had guessed, this was a meticulous premeditated scheme against the Zhong Family? Was it Zhong Chengxin's position as the County Chief of Longqing County? Or was it a bigger scheme?
He originally thought that when the Great General of Huaihua arrived with his spear, all the conspiracies would come to light. Then, like ice water, they would quickly melt under the Great General's fiery power. Although Zhong Hongwu was angry with the King of Beiliang and resigned from his position as the Commander of the Cavalry, his salary was still there and his official rank was still there. Although his authority was somewhat damaged, he was not someone that ordinary people could provoke. He dared to assert that at this time, the old general who seemed to have "fallen out of favor" in front of the King of Beiliang was someone that even the military officer Yan Wenluan did not dare to openly criticize. The officialdom was just this interesting. Zhong Chengxin becoming the next County Chief of Longyan County was a wake-up call to the entire officialdom of Beiliang.
But the next scene was unforgettable for everyone in the hall.
The white-haired young man slowly tore off the skin on his face, revealing a rarely seen handsome and feminine face with a pair of peach blossom eyes. But the young master's appearance was elegant, and he had a kind of heroic demeanor that Zhong Chengxin would never have in his life.
Xu Xiao as in "Xu Xiao".
When Wang Zhi heard these words, he suddenly tightened his grip on his teacup. There was no doubt that Wang Zhi was an extremely daring and truly talented martial artist. Otherwise, he would not have been able to personally lead his elite cavalry into the Western Regions to suppress bandits. This was probably a unique "pleasing" style of a brave general on the border. There were not many people that Wang Zhi admired, much less those younger than him. But after that assassination, he had personally experienced Han Diaosi's invincibility. In addition, after drinking wine with the King of Beiliang, Wang Zhi, who had roughly fifty to sixty percent of the truth, was truly somewhat shocked and fearful of His Royal Highness. Wang Zhi's three thousand cavalry had only been able to kill Han Diaosi alone. As for the two thousand cavalry under the command of his colleague from the Sword Pavilion, He Yan, they had not been able to fight to the death. After Han Diaosi had passed through the cavalry formation, Wang Zhi and He Yan had tacitly agreed to withdraw from the battlefield. Neither of them had any intention of wasting their ten to twenty years of effort in the Western Regions. But after the Battle of Iron Gate, as far as Wang Zhi knew, the forces on the surface were Prince Zhao Kai's two hundred Imperial Guards and a dozen Golden Saber Imperial Bodyguards who had been hiding their strength. They were also protected by a female Bodhisattva who was a top-notch expert. Hsu Fengnian had actually led his personal guards to attack them directly. What if Zhao Kai and the imperial court had a backup plan? Wasn't Hsu Fengnian afraid that he would die in the battle? Afterwards, he would implicate the entire Beiliang and be labeled as a traitor. This did not seem like a young man who only wanted to be the King of Beiliang for ten years! She was determined to fight with Chen Zhibao for Prince Liang's position and prevent the imperial court from interfering in the west. She was determined to do both!
Wang Zhi took a deep breath, put on his armor, and knelt down. His armor clanked loudly as he respectfully said, "General Wang Zhi pays his respects to His Royal Highness!"
Old Chief Liu was at a complete loss. He was stunned on the spot. Liu Nerong and Wang Dashi were even more incredulous. They did not believe that this Young Master Xu, who had nothing better to do than run to Beimang, was the Crown Prince of Beiliang.
