The Remnant of the Golden Cicada Sect

Although I had expected it, Sun Kewang was somewhat disappointed when he saw a roadblock ahead. At this time, if he didn't think about it, he could only fight and rush over and survive.

Raising the steel knife, a remnant soldier of more than a thousand people rushed forward. This was destined to be an unfair battle. Although Geng Zhongming had only a few hundred elite soldiers, he was all musketeers, and he was waiting for his work. Carrying the firepower net composed of musketeers, the peasant soldiers kept falling down, but in order to survive, they continued to continue.

The most primitive melee battles finally started. The melee that had some advantages in the past did not get any advantage this time. The strict formation and sharp bayonets were like hedgehogs, pricking the peasant army's head and bloodied.

Sun Kewang did not think about entanglement and ran away without looking back along the crack. Gunshots sounded again behind him, and the pursuers did not stop and people kept groaning and falling to the ground, but no one dared to stop and look back.

Escape, only endless escape...

When a large number of reinforcements appeared on the front, the cruel pursuit came to an end. Ai Keqi's reinforcements responded in time and blocked Geng Zhongming's troops under Qingniuling, south of the ancient elm forest.

Sun Kewang's remaining soldiers fled, but the others were not so lucky. After finally escaping, those peasant soldiers who did not follow Sun Kewang finally escaped, they were hit by the cavalry of Zhou Dingshan. After a lot of hunting, countless casualties were killed. Even Zhou Dingshan himself did not know how many bandits were killed on this day.

The fire in the ancient yurt forest not only once again made the name of the Living King of Hell shock the Three Jin Dynasties, but also caused Zhang Xianzhong's troops to be greatly reduced in a battle.

On Qingniuling, when he knew the final result, Zhang Xianzhong was so shocked that he couldn't say a word. He sat alone on the smooth stone surface, motionless. Sun Kewang and others watched from afar, and did not dare to disturb him. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that after this battle, their strength plummeted and their position in the rebel army was a bit embarrassing. Will Zhang Cunmeng miss this good opportunity for annexation? What's more, there is a more powerful Zhang Dashou. Wang Ziyong would only turn a blind eye to such things, and at most it would appear and mix in time.

Zhang Xianzhong thought more. From Yinzhou Pass to Yuci County, every time he wanted to compete with the Living Hell, he would lose his troops and lose his generals. On the contrary, he spent money to avoid a military disaster in Zhenxiwei. It can be seen that Living Hell is a person who is weak but not hard. Unfortunately, it is too late to regret it. Things have been done and the losses have been made up for.

Zhang Xianzhong is not a person who is easily knocked down. He understands his current situation very well. If nothing unexpected happens, he will inevitably be annexed. At that time, whether he dies or lives depends on the expression of others. No, he must think of a way. As a leader along the way, after enjoying the benefits of the leader, he asked him to go to someone else's command to fight, and how could he bear it?

But where is the variable? At this moment, I really longed for a Niu Jinxing around me. Everyone thought that Zhang Xianzhong was too sad, but in fact, what Zhang Xianzhong was thinking about was what to do next. It was naturally heartbreaking, but for Zhang Xianzhong, soldiers were consumables. As long as there were enough refugees, they could quickly develop the land by themselves. The key was to find a place that suited them.

The wind became cooler and cooler, driving away the heat of early summer. Suddenly, a trace of inspiration flashed through Zhang Xianzhong's mind. How could he forget that place? But it was a good place. Why can't others go there? Go back to Shaanxi? With the current situation, when he returned to Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong was not the original Zhang Xianzhong.

After thinking it through, Zhang Xianzhong frowned and his eyes were filled with evil lights. He called Sun Kewang and others over, and he said with a serious expression: "I believe everyone knows the situation of our troops. We cannot go back in Shaanxi. So, I decided to go south along Qingniuling and attack Jiangxian and Yicheng, on the one hand, replenish supplies, and on the other hand, prepare for the next step. However, the first thing we need to do now is to take down Fushan."

Jiangxian? Sun Kewang and others didn't think much, but Liu Wenxiu frowned slightly. Attack Jiangxian, was his adoptive father thinking... After this thought came to his mind, Liu Wenxiu was a little shocked. If it really succeeded, the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos.

.....

At the end of May, just after the Yuci War, Tie Mo led the main army to Taiyuan Prefecture. Tie Mo did not rest in Taiyuan, but brought some people to Yuci County. This time, Hai Lanzhu was with him to help review the official documents. Chang Minyue also came to Yuci County because she was worried about the Chang family.

When I walked into the Chang family courtyard, Tie Mo's heart skipped a beat. There were dilapidated scenes everywhere, and everyone's face was filled with a sad look. In the past, it was so grand that it was when he came to the Chang family. Now, everything has temporarily lost its color as Chang Yinxu fell down.

Since Minshan retreated, Chang Yinxu fell ill and invited the best doctor in Taiyuan, but he was still helpless. Chang Minyue sat beside the bed, looking at his father with a bad complexion, and his heart was like a knife. In Chang Minyue's consciousness, Chang Yinxu had always been healthy, but after the incident of Chang Minshan, his body collapsed as soon as he said it was broken.

When the doctor came to the living room, Chang Minyue stood up and left the room with Tie Mo with the doctor. When he arrived at the living room, Chang Minyue couldn't help asking: "Doctor Yu, what is the situation of my father? Please tell me the truth."

"This..." Yu Langzhong thought for a while and said carefully: "General Tie, Miss Chang, actually, there are no external injuries in Chang'an, and his body looks like everything is the same."

Tie Mo was puzzled and urged impatiently: "Doctor Yu, please tell me if you have something to do. Since there is no external injury, why is this happening?"

"Hey, what I have had in the heart disease outside is, and this disease may be depressed for a long time. After a long time, after being stimulated, I will no longer get sick. Is it a heart disease or a heart medicine doctor? I can only open some houses for health care and condition them slowly, and everything has to be taken slowly!"

"Heart disease?" Tie Mo murmured to himself. This disease is really not easy to deal with. It is easy to treat and it is easy to treat. It is difficult to treat and it is not easy to treat. Chang Minyue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she seemed to have thought of something in her heart.

After seeing off Doctor Yu, Tie Mo took Chang Minyue's hand and comforted: "These two Japanese military affairs are handed over to others. You should accompany me. Brother Chang will come back in two days. There are still a large number of bandits in Yueyang Mansion, and the army is probably going to stay here for a while."

"Well, don't worry, I'm fine, you go and do it first. Especially the Jinchan Sect and Chang Minshan. If there is a chance, I will kill him with my own hands!" Chang Minyue hated Chang Minshan. If it weren't for this person, his father wouldn't have been so ill.

Tie Mo nodded heavily. Some things, even if Chang Minyue didn't say them, must be done. He can't live without the Chang family, and Yuci is the base camp of the Chang family. Yuci County has the Golden Cicada Cult members hidden in Yuci County. It's an unstable factor no matter how you think about it. Since you have to stay in Yuci for a period of time, you have to find a way to dig out the cancer.

......

In the room, a piece of spice was burning, and the smell filled the whole room, making people breathe happily. Chang Minyue sat next to the bed for about an hour, and then Chang Yinxu woke up slowly. Seeing that there was only his daughter by the bed, he whispered: "Where is Red?"

"He just left, and there were still a group of rebels in the city, and he still wanted to investigate. I heard that there were clues, and I still need to check it."

Chang Minyue hesitated for a while and asked softly: "Father, are you worried? Is it because of the elder brother's affairs? In fact, there is no need for you to care too much about Chang Minshan's words, that's a mad dog..."

Before Chang Minyue finished speaking, Chang Yinxu interrupted her. He wanted to sit up, but because his body was sore and weak, he could only lean on the pillow and look at his daughter who was close to him. He smiled bitterly, "Yue'er, you don't care about your father, you can't think about it...Ahem... Ask those people in the family, who hasn't thought about these things? You know the best about your elder brother's body. I'm afraid there is no hope for you after not moving for so many years..."

Chang Minyue disagreed, but she didn't know how to refute it. Because of the problem of offspring, she had found many doctors and kept adjusting her, but the wife of the third wife had no movement at all. Now, let alone others, even Chang Minyue accepted this cruel fact a little.

Without children, who will inherit the family business in the future? Chang Yinxu will die, Chang Minteng will die. What after that? Leave the power to the sidelines? How can I be willing to do this? The family business that has been fought for by several generations is probably the situation that I don’t want to see because of the child issue.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, to recruit a son-in-law as Chang Minyue, and the offspring born in this way are still direct descendants of the Chang family. However, with the engagement with Tie Mo, this possibility is gone. No matter how domineering Chang Yinxu was, he would not dare to let Tie Mo be the son-in-law of the Chang family. This was an insult to Tie Mo.

The father and daughter were silent for a long time. After a while, Chang Yinxu raised his head and suddenly said, "Yue'er, you should get married early with Reed!"

"This..." Chang Minyue's pink face turned slightly red and she lowered her head, "Father, why did you suddenly say such words? He had just received the order and was appointed as the governor of the three provinces. He was responsible for the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits. The marriage would definitely not be held for a while."

"Hey, I just hope you can talk to Reed to get married soon, if you have children..." Chang Yinxu frowned and vomited out the words behind him with great difficulty, "If there is a male, can you choose one as the children and grandchildren of the Chang family?"

Chang Minyue stared at her beautiful eyes and raised her head suddenly. She was shocked. How could her father have such an idea? Isn’t letting Tie Mo’s son’s surname be Chang equivalent to adopting his own son to the Chang family? Chang Minyue knew Chang Yinxu’s helplessness. This was almost Chang Yinxu’s last solution. Only by doing this can the Chang family be in the blood of the Chang family in the future. But for Chang Minyue, she didn’t know how to speak with Tie Mo.

.........

Yuci County Government gathered many officials at this time, and even the Taiyuan prefect Gao Jie was listed. The matter of the Golden Cicada Cult can be said to have touched the hearts of many people. The bandits are already a headache. There are Golden Cicada Cults in Shanxi, and the White Lotus Cult in Shandong are in chaos, which makes people feel overwhelmed. As the governor of the three provinces, Tie Mo naturally has the right to inquire about the Golden Cicada Cult in Yuci.

Since the bandits retreated, Yuci County has strengthened its vigilance around. If nothing unexpected happens, the people of Jinchan Sect are still hiding in Yuci County.

Tiemo has always left Sha Diao to be responsible for the investigation. Sha Diao is very good at investigating this kind of assassination and investigation, and in just one day, he found some clues. This time, officials from all over the place were called to see if what was found was true.

In the lobby, Tiemo said calmly: "Everyone, everyone knows about the Golden Cicada Cult a few days ago that the court hates these cults and party. Of course, I hate these people very much. At this point, when there are many disasters and difficulties, it is a very serious crime to take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"These people are hateful, but what's even more hateful is that some of us, because of some of our own interests, are in gangs with these cult elements. Everyone, what should you do about such people?"

Xi Jingchao felt a cold back and couldn't help but sit up straight, because Tie Mo's eyes were looking at this side. Now, Xi Jingchao was shocked. Just as he was about to defend himself, Gao Jie said angrily: "Relying on the rioters and not thinking about serving the country, such a person should be cut into pieces."

Tie Mo smiled, ignored Gao Jie, but pointed to Xi Jing in the direction he was in, "Mr. Wu, do you think what Gao Zhifu said is right?"

County Magistrate Wu Zixiu almost slid down from the chair and fell to the ground with a thump. "Mr. Supervisors blame the lard for being fooled by the heart. The ruthless officials really didn't know that they dared to do such a traitor. At that time, they only said they wanted to preach for convenience..."

Tie Mo's expression changed and he slapped the table suddenly, "Fuck, according to my people's investigation, after the Chang family changed, you, County Magistrate Wu, collected another sum of money. What is the money used for?"

"Damn the lower official...Damn the lower official..."

"Tell me, if you can say something useful, you can die more happily and will not implicate your family. For the sake of the court, Tie will make you die better."

The Wu County Magistrate collapsed on the ground. Tie Mo's words were equivalent to giving the final judgment. He could not escape death, but it was just a way to die. Wu Zixiu thought for a long time, crawled on the ground, and cried in a low voice: "Master Supervisor, the subordinates don't know much about the rebellious party. They just happened to see someone who had been to Zhiyuan Tower!"

Zhiyuan Tower? Tiemo's heart moved because the official document sent back by Sha Diao had mentioned this place in the previous document.

Wu Zixiu was taken down, and several minor officials were taken down with him. Xi Jingchao was worried. Someone under his nose was in a state of trouble with Jinchan, but he didn't notice that he could not escape the crime of inattention. For some reason, the Iron Supervisor did not pursue too much, which made Xi Jingchao feel relieved.

At night, Zhiyuan Tower, Yuci City gradually returned to peace after the war, and this well-known restaurant gradually had guests.
