Thirty Pinglu cavalrymen and six carriages stopped at the entrance of Tongguan Relay Station. A coachman stopped the carriage and quickly ran into the relay station.
The carriage at the front carried passengers. A rather callous middle-aged Langjun lifted the curtain and looked at the gate of the courier station. Then, he put the curtain down again.
The last five carriages were filled with goods. Four of them were filled with various types of large boxes. The last carriage only had a large iron cage. Inside the cage was a large feathered beast.
The coachman quickly ran out and walked to the front of the first carriage. He respectfully said, "Mister Liu, all the rooms in the relay station are full. There is only one room for firewood left."
The middle-aged Langjun in the carriage heard this and was furious. He lifted the curtain and angrily glared at the entrance of the relay station.
The relay station's innkeeper quickly came out and saluted. "Mister Liu, the relay station is really full. There are a few good rooms nearby. Would you like to bear with it?"
The middle-aged Langjun's mouth twitched. He gently walked out of the carriage and slapped the innkeeper a few times.
"Who do you think you are?" The middle-aged Langjun reprimanded and gave a look to the Pinglu cavalrymen behind him.
A dozen Pinglu cavalrymen understood and strode into the relay station. They went straight to the best room.
"Scram! All of you, scram!"
The Pinglu cavalrymen barged into the relay station and shouted at the attendants of Yue Er and her daughter.
"Why? We are living well. Why are you telling us to scram?"
The attendants were used to being domineering and did not back down.
The Pinglu cavalrymen were furious. They went up and kicked the attendants, causing them to spit out blood.
The attendants did not expect these rude soldiers to hit them. They could only leave the room unwillingly.
A dozen Pinglu cavalrymen entered the room and took it for themselves. A few of them ran up to the second floor.
"What are you doing?"
Yue Er and her daughter were shocked when they saw the Pinglu cavalrymen barging into the room.
"All of you, scram!"
"Mother! > _ _ _ 8 _ _. "
Yue Er was helpless. She could only help her mother and walk downstairs.
"Old fart, walk faster."
The Pinglu cavalrymen saw that Yue Er and her daughter were walking too slowly. They lifted their feet and kicked them down the stairs, causing them to roll on the ground.
"Mother, Mother."
The middle-aged woman's head hit the ground, and she fainted once again. Yue 'er helplessly knelt beside her.
"Bastards, what are you doing?!"
Zhang Erniu walked in with a few of his brothers in a threatening manner. He was furious when he saw the situation.
A soldier from the Pinglu Army took a few steps forward and scolded, "Get out of here. It's not your place to meddle in other people's business."
Zhang Erniu had a fiery temper as well. How could he tolerate such anger? Without another word, he stepped forward and threw a punch.
This punch knocked out a few of the Pinglu soldiers' teeth, but it also caused more than ten Pinglu soldiers to rush forward.
When Zhang Erniu heard the commotion, he had only brought a few of his brothers over to check on the situation. Now that they had started fighting, he was immediately at a disadvantage. His martial arts were only average, so naturally, he was unable to fend off the other party's superior numbers. His cheeks and forehead were injured, and he was eventually kicked out.
After being kicked back seven or eight steps, a large hand supported his back, preventing him from falling.
"Master, they've gone too far."
Seeing that the person supporting him was Lifei Shouyu, Zhang Erniu endured the intense pain at the corner of his mouth and angrily shouted.
Seeing Erniu's bruised face, Lifei Shouyu's eyes flashed with flames of anger. After helping Zhang Erniu up, he clenched his fists and walked forward.
Ang Lee and Li Kunxiong were also unable to restrain their anger as they gripped the spears in their hands tightly.
They were eating and drinking happily in their room when they suddenly heard shouts from outside. When they rushed out to take a look, they found that someone had come to provoke them. They were young and hot-blooded men, so how could they endure such humiliation?
Broken arms, broken legs, dislocated joints.
Lifei Shouyu threw out a few punches, beating up the Pinglu soldiers who had injured Zhang Erniu until they lay on the ground, unable to move. _ > _ _ > _ >
.
Ang Lee rushed into the room and saw Yue 'er kneeling in front of her mother, calling out to her. Her eyes were filled with anger.
"Bastards, who gave you the guts to do this?"
Ang Lee swung his spear and smashed a Pinglu soldier until he spat out blood. He then turned around and swung his spear again, breaking the arm of a Pinglu soldier who tried to draw his sword.
Li Kunxiong also swung his spear back and forth, beating up the Pinglu soldiers who had surrounded them until they could not retaliate.
The dozen or so Pinglu soldiers outside the relay station heard the commotion inside and immediately drew their swords and rushed in, preparing to reinforce their comrades.
However, when they rushed into the relay station, they were surprised to find that they were surrounded by more than a hundred people. Dozens of crossbows were aimed at them from all directions. If they dared to act rashly, they would immediately turn into hedgehogs.
It turned out that after the provocation, Ang Lee immediately rushed out with Kunxiong and Shouyu. He also had Li Feiyu go to the backyard and let Zhang Guangcheng gather his men. At this moment, Li Feiyu and Zhang Guangcheng brought their men to reinforce them and surrounded the Pinglu army.
Ang Lee angrily glared at the Pinglu soldiers and shouted: "I will only ask once, who gave you the guts to come and provoke us?"
The Pinglu soldiers looked at each other, no one answered.
Ang Lee's lips curled into a cold smile. He suddenly swung his spear and hit a Pinglu soldier until he spat out blood and fell to the ground.
Because of the crossbows around them, the Pinglu soldiers did not dare to resist and could only watch as their comrades were heavily injured.
Li An was not a particularly ruthless person, but the Ping Lu Army had suddenly come to provoke them, injuring Zhang Erniu and making Little Miss Yue 'er sad. They had gone too far. If they were not severely punished and word of this spread, wouldn't everyone be able to provoke them wantonly in the future?
"Who is the leader? Step forward!"
Li Kunxiong roared and angrily glared at the Pinglu soldiers.
"I won't say."
Ang Lee sneered again and swung his spear, stabbing the calf of a Pinglu soldier.
"Ugh!"
The excruciating pain caused the Pinglu soldier to scream in agony.
The two sides fiercely clashed at the relay station. This frightened the relay station's commander. This was his area of management. If someone died, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.
"Li Shaolang, please calm down. We are all people of the imperial court. Why do you have to make such a ruckus? The relay station does not have enough rooms. It is all this official's fault."
The relay station's commander was so frightened that his legs trembled.
Ang Lee smiled faintly and turned to look at the relay station's commander. "Then tell me, why did they charge in and hit people? Who gave the order?"
The relay station's commander and Ang Lee looked at each other and immediately looked away. However, he had been slapped a few times by Liu for no reason. Although he was timid, he still held a grudge.
"Li Shaolang, it was Mister Liu. When he heard that the relay station was full, he sent someone to discuss with you. He wanted to make some rooms available. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened. This …"
"Mister Liu, discuss? Is this a discussion?"
Ang Lee smiled. From the way the relay station's commander kept glancing at the gate, he knew that the so-called Mister Liu was outside. The red fingerprints on the relay station's face also explained why he betrayed Mister Liu.
"All of you, scram!"
Ang Lee shouted and strode out of the relay station.
When the Pinglu Army heard this, they all threw away their weapons. Under the pressure of Ang Lee and the others, they supported each other and ran out of the relay station's gate.
The middle-aged Langjun in the carriage was a little impatient. It had been so long, but they still hadn't settled such a small matter. This made him very angry.
"A bunch of useless soldiers."
The middle-aged Langjun lifted the curtain and prepared to go out personally.
"You, what are you doing?"
As soon as he lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, the cold tip of a spear pierced his neck. When he looked around, he was even more surprised to find that the Pinglu Army he had brought with him had been forced into a difficult situation. A group of more than a hundred soldiers had surrounded them.
"How dare you! I am Martial Governor An's man."
When Ang Lee heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry. He hated An Lushan the most. It would have been fine if this person didn't mention An Lushan. Now that he mentioned An Lushan, he was asking for trouble.
"Martial Governor An, it's just An Lushan. Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
Ang Lee scolded disdainfully. He gently moved the tip of his spear and drew a blood-red mark.
"Don't, Shaolang. Let's talk nicely."
Hearing Ang Lee call An Lushan by his name and call An Lushan a bastard, the middle-aged Langjun was really scared. In his opinion, Ang Lee in front of him was a madman. A madman could do anything, let alone kill him.
Although Ang Lee hated An Lushan, this was the relay station of Tongguan. He didn't want to kill people here. It would cause a lot of trouble.
"Who are you? What are you going to do?"
"I'm Liu Luogu. I'm going to the capital city on the order of Martial Governor An. My men are too rude. I'm sorry for offending you."
Under the coercion of Ang Lee's force, Liu Luogu seemed to be quite nervous. His voice was trembling.
In fact, Liu Luogu was one of An Lushan's trusted subordinates. He was smart and loyal to An Lushan. An Lushan trusted him deeply. The fact that he was a scholar made An Lushan feel that Liu Luogu's specialty could be put to good use in the capital city and be responsible for collecting intelligence.
Li An looked around and saw that the carriages were filled with goods, and there was even a muscular feathered beast. He immediately understood that An Lushan wanted to curry favor with the Son of Heaven, so he had sent his subordinates to offer the birds and goods they had plundered from the populace to the Son of Heaven.
No wonder An Lushan was such a high-ranking official. He was proficient in bribery and flattery.
Ang Lee felt even more disdain for An Lushan in his heart. At the same time, he lamented for the people of Ying Province. With An Lushan overseeing Ying Province, the people of Ying Province would have a harder time in the future.
Ang Lee gently put down the spear in his hand and said seriously, "Liu Luogu, your men beat people as soon as they entered. How do you want to settle this debt?"
"Young Master, please calm down. I'm willing to compensate for the medical expenses." Seeing that Ang Lee finally put down the spear, Liu Luogu let out a sigh of relief. "Men, quickly bring it up."
In a small red wooden box, there were ten bags of gold, which was a hundred taels. This was Liu Luogu's compensation to Ang Lee. Ang Lee gladly accepted it and had Li Feiyu put it away.
Seeing that Ang Lee accepted the compensation, Liu Luogu was completely relieved. He sighed slightly. "Young Master Li, please rest. We'll go find a guest house."
Ang Lee nodded lightly, indicating for them to immediately scram.
"Quick, surround them."
