Zhaoyuan City.

Governor Yilou stood on the tower, looking at the group of people and horses in the distance, gritting his teeth and looking extremely ugly.

Jun Cheng stood aside, equally uneasy.

The county soldiers stood on the city wall, their hands holding bows trembling.

"Gong Yiluo, what should I do? He really came here, those people didn't lie."

"Oh my god, how come there are more than a thousand people and they can't stop him?"

The county magistrate was so frightened that he lost his mind. He stared at the boss, kept mumbling, and made various small movements with his hands.

Yilou pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Open the city gate wide."

"Go down with me to meet General Zhen."

The county magistrate quickly took his hand and said, "Master Yilou, we will fight to the end."

"I'll greet you!!"

Jun Cheng woke up immediately and ran away quickly.

Soon after, the city gates opened, and Ilou led the city officials out to greet them.

"Meet General Liu!!"

Yilou saluted and asked hurriedly: "I heard that Western thieves had sneaked into the place, and my subordinates did not dare to attack rashly, so they closed the city gate tightly and strengthened their guard. I didn't know that these idiots actually made the general wait outside the city. Please, please

General, forgive me!!"

Ilou bowed again.

"Crack."

A human head was thrown in front of Yilou by Liu Taozi.

"Do you know this person?"

Yilou pursed his lips and said, "I don't know you."

He even had a vibrato.

"You don't know him, but I know him."

Looking at Yi Lou who was even more frightened, Liu Taozi said: "That Murong Gong, whose head was smashed by me, I'm afraid no one can recognize him. These are his deputies. These people are not Western thieves, but conspirators."

thief."

"They are wearing the clothes of the Zhou people and using the weapons of the Zhou people. But both the clothes and the weapons are very messy. They are not from the same army. You have captured a lot of thieves in Zhaoyuan City, right?"

Ilou raised his head with a bitter look on his face, "General, I really don't know."

"If you don't know, go check it out."

"Check if there is anything missing from the arsenal. I have a lot of heads here. I am offering a large reward. If you can identify them, please let them know in private. I will protect them thoroughly and reward you with a large sum of money!!"

"And you, Governor Yilou, there is someone under your rule who has an affair with a Western traitor and wants to murder the general. Can you escape punishment?"

"If you follow my general order, find these thieves, and make up for your mistakes, I will vouch for it in front of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to protect your life. If you fail, you should find a way to escape from the Puppet Zhou Dynasty and go to your relatives."

Yilou didn't know what he thought of, and he trembled all over. In an instant, he suddenly understood something, his face turned red, and he stood up suddenly, "General! I know who is involved!!"

"Yao Xiong, take some people with you and follow Prefect Yilou to lead the county soldiers to help kill him."

"only!!"

Yao Xiong stepped forward and said, "Master Taishou! Let's go!"

Yilou mounted the horse, led Yao Xiong and others and galloped away.

Kou Liu was a little confused, "Brother, what exactly is this?"

Tian Zili smiled and explained: "The person who did this clearly wanted to make Yi Lou a scapegoat. Almost all of Yi Lou's clan members were officials in the Puppet Zhou Dynasty, and there was also a hussar general.

Yes, he is the only one

I am in Daqi, and there are Western bandits under his rule who attacked the general. I am afraid that someone will report it tomorrow, saying that he colluded with the puppet Zhou relatives, and those who attacked and killed the general used his ordnance. Hahaha, there is no need to find any evidence.

"

Kou Liu snorted, "Then he knew about it, so why didn't he reject it earlier?"

"I'm afraid there is an order from a big shot, so he doesn't dare to refuse, but my brother is not without the help of a big shot."

"Let's go."

Liu Taozi interrupted their conversation and led them into the city.

The county soldiers who stayed behind looked at them in horror and did not dare to come forward. They rested in the official office for a day. The wind and snow had calmed down a lot. Although it was still cold, there was no heavy snow that covered the sky and the sun.

But Yao Xiong is quite busy.

That night, he teamed up with local officials and broke into the homes of several nobles. These people were involved in killing officials and treason.

Cries of killing were everywhere, and the city was on fire.

The next day, rows of heads were hung neatly on the city wall.

Liu Taozi led the people to leave the county through another gate.

Elo came to say goodbye.

He rode a big horse and walked beside Liu Taozi. He obviously didn't sleep well last night. His face was full of sleepiness. He lowered his voice and begged again and again.

"General, I am weak and weak. There are some things that I really can't do about. For the sake of atonement for my sins, please say a few kind words for me in front of Your Majesty. I don't dare to expect to keep my official title. As long as I can stay

I dare not forget the great kindness of the general if I risk my life!!!"

"How could the dignified Sheriff be reduced to begging for help?"

Liu Taozi asked.

Yilou shook his head in despair. After the founding of the Qi Dynasty, states and counties were continuously added. There were more and more states and counties. Until now, the prefects and governors no longer had the same weight as they had in the past.

The fifth and fourth grades are nothing in the eyes of the real big shots in the temple.

"General, life and death are just a matter of words, how can you be considered dignified?"

Liu Taozi continued to move forward, and he suddenly said: "The present is not like the past. Your Majesty is determined to govern the world. When he came to the frontier, he praised you very much."

"You are the county guard appointed by His Majesty, so don't pay attention to the others. Do your job well and work hard."

"You have done quite well these days. Your Majesty does not pay attention to anything else but political achievements. If you can guarantee that you can manage with care in the future, I will keep your title."

Yilou shuddered, "General, I will definitely do my best and never let you down."

"Well, don't neglect me after I leave."

“Absolutely not!!”

Liu Taozi speeded up his horse and led the knights to quickly distance themselves. After a moment, he disappeared into the distance.

Looking at Liu Taozi walking away, Yilou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "General!! Be careful of the Jinyang soldiers!!!"

His voice carried far away in the wind.

I don’t know if the other party heard this.

Guangning County, Loufanguan.

Among the mountains, a dangerous checkpoint blocks the road. This checkpoint is built at the mountain pass. It is tall and solid. It looks like two mountains are connected together by a wall. It is extremely spectacular.

The snowstorm has stopped.

There was still thick snow on the ground.

Looking at the majestic and outrageous barrier in the distance, Yao Xiong and others couldn't help but marvel over and over again.

This level is really huge and built higher than many walls in the frontier fortress. I really don’t know how it was built in the first place.

There was a groaning sound when the door was closed. The checkpoint door was also very large, and it took several soldiers to force it open.

The next moment, knights filed out.

The knights were fully armed, and the leader held a horse-steed.

Seeing the knights charging towards them, Liu Taozi and others also raised their weapons and got ready.

When the two sides encountered each other, the leader reined in his horse, and the horse neighed.

This man was really tall and strong, and his figure was not much inferior to Taozi's. His face was full of ferocity, his hair was disheveled, and he was staring coldly at Liu Taozi in front of him.

"Which bandit dares to knock on the pass?"

The knights behind him were already in formation, and there were hundreds of them. They were all tall and strong, behaved the same way, and most of them had evil eyes.

"Bold!!"

Yao Xiong stepped forward and shouted angrily: "This is my home town general! Get off your horse quickly and bow down!!"

The man glanced at him disdainfully, then looked at Liu Taozi.
