Luoyang West Gate.
More than a dozen soldiers were drunk and lying on the ground.
Zhang Zhongjian stood in a distant alley with his horse, watching them quietly.
"With such soldiers guarding the city, how can Wang Shichong last long?”
At this moment, Yin Shisan's voice was heard. At some point in time, he had already walked to Zhang Zhongjian from the other side of the alley.
"Where are Qin, Cheng, and Luo?" Zhang Zhongjian turned around and saw Yin Shisan alone. He couldn't help but look confused. He had always thought that Qin Qiong and the other two would return to Tang with Yin Thirteen tonight.
"I have my own arrangements."
Yin Shisan took the reins from Zhang Zhongjian's hands and flew onto the horse.
When the two of them arrived at the west gate, the soldiers on the ground only laughed foolishly when they saw them, not caring at all.
"Kill them?" Zhang Zhongjian said coldly.
Yin Shisan shook his head." Don't cause trouble.”
Zhang Zhongjian snorted coldly, walked around the soldiers on the ground, and opened the tightly shut west gate of Luoyang.
After they left the city, Zhang Zhongjian whistled towards the woods outside the city gate, and his horse ran out by itself.
"Isn't this the King of Qin's horse?" Yin Shisan asked in surprise.”
"Borrowing!"
Yin Shisan's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Zhang Zhongjian had stolen the King of Qin's horse in order to catch up with him. Although this guy looked cool on the surface, he was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside, loyal and kind.
Yin Shisan chuckled." Let's go!”
Pa!
Yin Shisan whipped his horse's butt, and in the blink of an eye, he was eight meters away from Zhang Zhongjian.
"Giddyup!"
Zhang Zhongjian shouted and hurriedly chased after him.
"Where are we going?"
"60 miles west of the city, Phoenix Cry Mountain!"
……
……
The area within a 30-mile radius of the Phoenix Cry Mountain was filled with barren hills and treacherous waters, occupied by a group of bandits.
The bandit leader was called Tu Tian. He was originally a Hu from the Western Regions. Later, he wandered into the Central Plains and became a bandit.
Tu Tian was a cruel and bloodthirsty man. His bandits were also fierce and cunning villains. Whenever they encountered someone who dared to walk down the Phoenix Cry Mountain, they would immediately swarm them. The men would be killed, the women would be spared, and all the gold, silver, and treasures would be plundered up the mountain.
Logically speaking, Mount Fengming was near Luoyang, and Wang Shichong had proclaimed himself King Zheng and was overseeing Luoyang. He should have sent troops to eliminate Tu Tian and seek blessings for the people.
However, Wang Shichong's military advisor, Iron Crown Taoist Su Wei, had asked him to secretly befriend Tu Tian so that when the Tang army attacked, Tu Tian could lead the people of Feng Mingshan to be the vanguard. In fact, they were asking Tu Tian and his men to be suicide squads to exhaust the Tang army.
Wang Shichong was so heartless that he actually listened to Su Wei's words. Not only did he not control Tu Tian, but he also ordered people to send him military rations and weapons, making Tu Tian even more arrogant.
"Giddyup!"
"Giddyup!"
At the foot of the Phoenix Cry Mountain, two fast horses came one after another.
Dong ~
At this moment, the sound of a gong came from the dark forest.
At the same time, countless torches were raised high, surrounding the two horses and their owners, illuminating the faces of the people on the horses.
"We are the envoys of King Zheng. We are here to see King Slaughterer.”The person who spoke had a fair complexion and a handsome appearance. It was Yin Shisan.
Zhang Zhongjian was following behind Yin Shisan. When Yin Shisan opened his mouth, he looked around with a pair of fierce eyes.
He had a valiant appearance, and he was imposing even when he was not angry. In addition, he was riding on a horse and looking down from above, giving off an imposing aura. Immediately, the surrounding bandits did not dare to make any strange movements. They all thought that he was a general from Luoyang.
"In that case, please follow me!”
Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian were still riding on their horses, and the bandit in the lead led the way. The three of them soon arrived at the gate of the village on Phoenix Cry Mountain.
The bandit who led the way went in to report. Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian dismounted and waited.
There were at least fifty bandits with long spears standing on both sides of them.
In the stronghold, Tu Tian was drinking with the woman he had captured. When he heard that an envoy had come from Luoyang, he thought that Wang Shichong had come to deliver something again, so he walked out of the stronghold.
Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian stood at the door and looked into the village. They saw a man who looked like a water tank walk out of the village with a body that was two meters tall.
"What is this thing?"
Yin Shisan only took a glance before turning his head away. Tu Tian was too ugly. Not only did his body not look like a human, but even his face was covered with muscles. Coupled with his beard, he looked like a reincarnated evil spirit.
"No wonder he wants to snatch women. No normal woman would be willing to be with him.”
Just as Yin Shisan was muttering to himself, Tu Tian had already arrived at the entrance of the stronghold.
The smell of alcohol mixed with the stench of sweat and the filth of not taking a bath all year round assaulted Yin Shisan's senses, making him feel nauseous.
Bang!
At this moment, Zhang Zhongjian, who had been standing behind Yin Shisan, suddenly moved. Like a tiger or leopard, he suddenly jumped up. His left index finger and middle finger poked at Tu Tian's eyes. His right arm was raised above his head, and his fingers were like knives, slashing at Tu Tian's neck.
Puff! Puff!
"Ah!"
Tu Tian let out a miserable scream. His eyeballs were directly poked by Zhang Zhongjian. Blood flowed out of his eyes, and a fishy smell assaulted his nose.
At this moment, Zhang Zhongjian's hand knife had already come down and hit Tu Tian's neck bone.
Crack!
Yin Shisan heard a crisp sound and looked at Tu Tian again. His water-tank-like body swayed three times before he fell backward.
Bang!
When Tu Tian's body came into contact with the ground, Yin Shisan even felt the ground beneath his feet tremble as if there was an earthquake. He estimated that Tu Tian weighed at least 400 pounds.
"Anyone who dares to move will die!"
After dealing with Tu Tian, Zhang Zhongjian shouted and looked at the bandits around him coldly.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Although those bandits were also valiant, they had never seen a decisive and powerful guy like Zhang Zhongjian. They abandoned their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Zhang Zhongjian snorted and turned to look at Yin Shisan.
"Gather all the bandits on Mount Phoenix Cry to the stronghold!”Yin Shisan said expressionlessly.
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and go!" Zhang Zhongjian shouted angrily at the bandits kneeling on the ground. These guys agreed and staggered to get up, scattering to call for help.
" Zhongjian," Yin Shisan said to Zhang Zhongjian," disperse the women in the village and give them the gold and silver treasures. Let them go down the mountain."”
"Good!"
Zhang Zhongjian replied and walked into the stronghold. Only Yin Thirteen and Tu Tian's corpse were left at the entrance.
Yin Shisan lowered his head and looked at Tu Tian. He didn't feel any pity for a person like Tu Tian. It was a pity for the innocent passers-by who were killed by him and the women who were raped by him.
"If we rise, the people will suffer. If we die, the people will suffer.”
Yin Shisan let out a long sigh and slowly raised his head to look in the direction of Chang 'an. There was a capable ruler there who could pacify chaos and rule the world. When he became the emperor, the people of the world would have a good life, right?
Bang!
Just as Yin Shisan thought of this, Tu Tian suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his left foot tightly.
