"I came late, please atone for my sins, Young Lord!”Pang De saw Jing Zhi wolfing down the rice in the room and heaved a sigh of relief as well. He got off his horse and said. Hong Chang's father couldn't help but look at Jing Zhi strangely. Of course, Jing Zhi had also sensed it. After all, after experiencing so many things, they must have hated the government. Although he didn't say it, Jing Zhi understood that he no longer had a good impression of him.
Pang De then stood up and greeted Hong Chang's father. He handed over some silver taels and said,"This fellow villager saved my young master. This is Liu Zhi, the younger brother of the current Nanyang Prefecture Governor, Liu Jingwei. This is just a small thank you gift." Nanyang prefect was something Pang De had boasted about when he was reorganizing military affairs, so Pang De simply used it. When Hong Chang's father heard the words " Nanyang Prefecture ", his expression changed drastically and he gritted his teeth. Pang De had just reincarnated and was about to take Jing Zhi away when he felt a wave of killing intent coming from behind him. He quickly pressed his sword and waited. At this moment, Jing Zhi realized that Pang De's right arm seemed to be injured. A few drops of blood dripped from his fingertips onto the blade of the sword.
When Hong Chang's father heard the words " Nanyang Prefecture," he could not control himself. Fortunately, Hong Chang sensed that something was wrong and pulled his father a few times. That's why he didn't do anything stupid.
Hong Chang's father knew that the Nanyang prefect had been replaced long ago, and even if he hadn't been replaced, it would have been useless. However, the anger in his heart was not rational. Although he had recovered from his shock, he still said to Pang De with a sour expression,""Humph! Keep your stinking money! Take your young master and get lost!”，Although Pang De wasn't a complete boor, he was still a martial artist with unique skills. Moreover, the troops he led were all a group of young and vigorous men. How could they endure such humiliation?
The faces of the soldiers under the tent turned red. In fact, if Pang De wasn't the leader and Jing Zhi was watching from the side, they would have already swarmed up and taught that unruly person a lesson. Pang De, who was carrying his body, was also so angry that his beard and hair rose. He gripped the hilt of his sword even harder, and the speed of his blood flow also increased.
Hong Chang's father, on the other hand, slammed the door of Hong Chang with extreme rudeness, causing veins to appear on Pang De's forehead. After all, he was kind enough to give the other party some silver. Not only did the other party not accept it, but he even insulted it in all sorts of ways. No one could stand it.
Just as Pang De was about to flare up, Jing Zhi walked up and said,""Forget it, General Pang. He also has his difficulties. Let's go back. I'll tell you on the way.”Although Pang De was annoyed, he understood that the most important thing now was to send Jing Zhi back safely. Then, he led the heavy soldiers and Jing Zhi back.
" Actually, it's like this…" On the way back, Jing Zhi recounted what had happened to Hong Chang's parents. The soldiers could not help but fall into disarray. Pang De was silent for a long time. In the end, he could only sigh with emotion,"The benevolent love all things, while the wise prepare for disaster at the end of the line. If you don't know benevolence, how can you govern the country?”Wang Jingzhi was young and could not understand, and most of the soldiers were illiterate and did not understand what he meant. He even praised General Pang's good culture! He's really a Confucian general!" Pang De could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile. If Pang De's words were heard by any scholar in the Imperial Capital, adding oil to the fire would be enough to take Pang De's life.
"Right, Pang De, what happened to your injury?”Jing Zhi asked.
Pang De was afraid that Jing Zhi would fall into the hands of the thieves, so he went around to inquire if there were any thieves who kidnapped children. He happened to know that there was a nest of thieves in Crouching Bull Mountain who went down the mountain yesterday to capture people as labor, and they had robbed many children. Pang De was in a hurry, so he didn't ask further and led his men into the mountain.
Pang De was naturally confident in his skills. At least, it was more than enough to deal with these thieves. At first, it was as Pound had thought. Although there were thousands of people under Pang De's banner, they were nothing but a mob. They were unable to fight back under Pang De's strength and pressure.
After beating the bandits into submission, Pang De shouted,""You thieves, you gathered a crowd to disturb the court and harm the people of our Great Han Dynasty! Now I can spare your lives and hand over all the people we have captured.”Usually, when raiders were exterminated, they would either be killed or captured. It was probably unprecedented to ask the raiders to surrender themselves. But after all, Pang De's purpose was not to exterminate them, but to bring Jing Zhi along.
Just when Pang De thought that the other party would be obedient, the person who looked like the leader of the thieves on the wall suddenly shouted,"Where's the justice!" As soon as he finished speaking, Pang De heard the sound of metal scratching the ground. Then, a burly man holding a big axe rushed out. The bandits who were silent a moment ago suddenly cheered and shouted,"Xu Gongming! Xu Gongming!" Obviously, he had great confidence in this man. The man looked at his troops who were disdisciplined and frowned. After a sigh, he turned to Pound.
The man saw the person's movement and realized that he was an expert, so he did not dare to be negligent. He used his long axe to support himself on the ground and lowered his body to narrowly dodge Pang De's blade. Pang De saw that his first move had failed, so he spun his broadsword around his body and slashed at the man. The man had just calmed down when he saw the large blade approaching. He did not need the axe to support him anymore and raised the large axe horizontally to block the blade. However, his body fell heavily to the ground due to Pang De's saber force.
Pang De's meticulous knife skills naturally blocked the man's attack, but the force was too much for him. The trembling of his knife hilt had already caused the web between his thumb and forefinger to crack. The pressure from the knife made Pang De's left arm sore and unable to exert any strength. Pang De did not care about his hand injury and quickly went to check on the man. The burly man was already panting, but he seized the opportunity to swing his axe again. Pang De did not hesitate to endure the pain and collided with the burly man's axe.
"I am Xu Huang, Yang Feng's subordinate!" Xu Huang replied firmly. After the conversation, the two of them walked around and began the most basic test. At this moment, Yang Feng, who was standing high on the wall, said,"Xu Huang! What's wrong with you? You can't even take down this nameless general!" Yang Feng's arrogant manner made Pang De snort.
Xu Huang was also distracted by Yang Feng's words and felt that something was wrong. When he came back to his senses, Pang De did not seize the opportunity to attack as he had imagined. Instead, he waited for himself to regain his stance. He couldn't help but feel respect for Yang Feng, so he ignored Yang Feng's nagging and focused on fighting Pang De.
In order to prevent others from disturbing them, the two of them deliberately pulled the battlefield further and further away. After ensuring that no one else could hear him, Xu Huang staggered back a few steps after blocking Pang De's heavy slash. After regaining his balance, he laughed loudly and said,"It's been a long time since I've had such a good time killing! It's so fast! It's so fast!" After more than a hundred rounds, Xu Huang was gradually finding it difficult to fight back. However, he still had no intention of giving up. He raised his huge axe and charged forward again. It seemed that he had been sullen in this forest for a long time.
Pang De was not in a hurry to fight. He resisted Xu Huang's attack and said,"Hero Xu is so brave, why do you have to live in the wilderness? Why not follow my lord?" After hearing this, Xu Huang's movements clearly slowed down, but not long after, he increased his strength and said,"Although I have the intention to serve the Imperial Court, Duke Yang is indebted to me, so please don't say anything more.”
Since Xu Huang had already said so, Pang De naturally wouldn't pester him. After a long period of sword light and sword shadows, both sides did not expect that there would not be many wounds in a deathmatch. However, Pang De had the upper hand, and Xu Huang was exhausted from defending.
The sun had already set in the west…The gradually darkening sky made Pang De, whose mind was filled with thoughts of saving people, anxious. Naturally, this could not escape Xu Huang's eyes. In order to save Jing Zhi as soon as possible, Pang De was eager to succeed. He seized the opportunity to gather all his strength and slashed at Xu Huang.
However, that so-called gap seemed to be Xu Huang's deliberate act. Xu Huang actually relaxed and allowed his powerless axe to collide with Pang De's saber…At the instant of contact, blood flowed out from the corner of Xu Huang's mouth and the area between his thumb and forefinger.”With a loud bang, Xu Huang's axe was reversed by Pang De's force. When it reversed again, Xu Huang gathered all his strength and slashed at Pang De. Pang De did not panic. He once again used his strength to block the attack. As blood flowed out of his hand and mouth, Pang De suddenly understood," Half of the power comes from myself.”
While he was thinking, Big Axe came again. Xu Huang said,"General Pang, you were too careless!" Pang De suffered a loss from the previous blow and did not dare to take it head-on. He leaned back with his saber to dodge. Pang De's consciousness was already blurry, and he could no longer hold on after falling backwards. Just before he fell, he saw that Xu Huang had also fallen.
The troops from both sides were about to go up and save their commander, but the two of them refused and struggled to get up. Pound got up first and stood there in a daze. In just a few seconds, Xu Huang also stood up, but he was not in a hurry to get into a proper position. He said,"Now that it's even more difficult for the two of us to kill each other, why don't we each take a step back? You take the prisoners, we'll continue our lives, don't disturb me.”Although Pang De and Xu Huang were both exhausted, the soldiers were still afraid of their strength and did not dare to stop them. Yang Feng, who was standing high up in the sky, stared at Xu Huang with a livid face and red eyes.
