Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 464 Climbing the mountain
Qi County.

Qi County is about twenty miles away from Fengluo Mountain, and it is a relatively prosperous county.

The news that Cheng Yaojin led three thousand soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits had already reached the Qi County Yamen.

As for this matter, Zhao Tie, the county magistrate of Qi County, was very happy to see it.

Because of beating Luo Ba to death, he provoked Luo Huang and Luo Feng.

He also didn't expect that after these two people became bandits, they could gather thousands of people to rob their houses, so much so that now he is afraid of revenge and dare not go out.

It's all right now, as long as Cheng Yaojin can kill Luo Huang and his brother and sister Luo Feng, he can sit back and relax in the future.

In the county government, the cicadas in late summer are still a little noisy.

Zhao Tie lay on the rocking chair under the tree to enjoy the shade, and asked, "How is Cheng Yaojin's suppression of bandits going?"

"Returning to my lord, I heard that they defeated Luo Feng in the battle yesterday, and I think they will be able to wipe out those bandits soon."

Hearing that Cheng Yaojin and the others had defeated even a woman like Luo Feng, Zhao Tie felt more at ease.

"Okay, okay, always pay attention to the situation over there, and if the court wins, tell me right away."

"Here!"

The two of them were talking here, when a yamen servant hurried over: "My lord, the people of Lord Qin Tian and Qin Hou are asking to see you."

"His people?" Hearing that Qin Tian's people came, Zhao Tie was very curious. Aren't they suppressing bandits in Fengluo Mountain? Why did they come here instead?
But Qin Tian's people, he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ordered: "Lead them in."

Not long after, Hu Shiba and about [-] guards came in from the outside. Zhao Tie stepped forward when he saw them, and said, "Zhao Tie, the magistrate of Xiaqi County, I don't know why you are here?"

The yamen servant next to him was also very curious.

Hu Shiba said: "I heard that Mr. Zhao once relied on a bounty named Luo Ba and beat him to death?"

Hu Shiba spoke very directly. When Zhao Tie heard this, his whole body trembled, and he felt a little liar in his heart.

"No... Nothing, absolutely nothing."

Hu Shiba chuckled: "We have already investigated this matter before it came, and you actually said no?"

Seeing Hu Shiba like this, Zhao Tieheng made up his mind and said, "It's just that Luo Ba has not been beaten."

"You rely on people to reward you, and you still say this. It's unfortunate that Datang has a county magistrate like you."

As he said that, Hu Shiba drew out his knife, and Zhao Tie asked with a dignified expression, "You...what do you want to do?"

"Master Hou said, if you really killed Luo Ba, you let me take your life."

"How dare you, I am an official of the imperial court, without approval, who would dare to kill me?"

As he said that, the yamen servants next to him also drew their knives, but when those yamen servants pulled out their knives, Hu Shiba had already slashed at him.

The knife was so fast that the yamen servants didn't have time to react, and after the knife was cut, Zhao Tie's head was already chopped off, and the head flew into the sky, and Hu Shiba copied it without any hassle.

"Whoever dares to move will not be left alone."

When Hu Shiba said something, the yamen servants who drew their knives immediately hesitated, not daring to go forward. Hu Shiba glared at him, making them tremble in fright.

"go!"

Hu Shiba carried Zhao Tie's head and left, the blood was still dripping. The yamen guards watched them walk away, but none of them dared to make a move.
-
At the foot of Fengluo Mountain, the Datang military camp.

When Hu Shiba came back, it was in the afternoon, and the sun in the barracks was a little quiet, making people feel no trace of murderous intent at all.

It seemed that they had no intention of fighting at all.

"Lord Hou, Zhao Tie's head is here."

Hu Shiba picked up Zhao Tie's head. Because of the end of Xia, there were already flies flying around the head. They all vomited out.

After all, they have never experienced life and death. It was the first time they saw such a bloody head, and they couldn't accept it.

Cheng Yaojin saw this from the side, and suddenly kicked his son: "That's the only thing you can do? Before you came here, you said that you are not afraid of the sky, but now you are afraid of a person's head? Tell you, the battlefield is far more important than this." It's much more cruel, who can't bear it, it's still too late to go back now."

Cheng Chumo and the others had pale cheeks from vomiting, but after hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, they immediately stood up again: "We won't go, we won't go."

"Isn't it... dead people, we are not afraid."

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly: "Okay, this should be the son of the general."

After Cheng Yaojin finished talking with Cheng Chumo and the others, he looked at Qin Tian and said, "Qin Tian, ​​now that Zhao Tie's head has been taken, what are you going to do next?"

Qin Tian looked calm, glanced at Fengluo Mountain in the distance, and then said: "Chuangshan."

"Crossing the mountain? How?" Cheng Yaojin was puzzled, Qin Tian said: "Eighteen, take Zhao Tie's head and follow me up the mountain."

"Is it just the two of you?" Qin Wu was in a hurry. Those bandits don't know what kind of virtue they are. If they commit murder, how can they be rivals?
"Just the two of us." Qin Tian didn't have the slightest fear, but Qin Wu didn't feel at ease. Qin Tian was the hope of their Qin family, and if something happened, he couldn't explain it to those in the Qin family.

"Lu Guogong, you can't let my Lord Hou take risks." Qin Wu knew that he couldn't persuade Qin Tian, ​​so he could only pin his hopes on Cheng Yaojin.

A gust of hot wind blew, Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and after a while, suddenly smiled: "I know you must be sure, right?"

Cheng Yaojin also didn't want Qin Tian to take risks, but time waits for no one, if they don't go to the mountain, it will be difficult for them to take down Fengluo Mountain as quickly as possible.

Qin Tian showed a slight smile: "Have you ever seen me do something I was not sure about?"

At this time, Hu Shiba also stood up: "With me here, Lord Hou will never be harmed."

Qin Wu was still unwilling, but at this moment, Qin Tian had already taken Hu Shiba out of the barracks and rushed to Fengluo Mountain. Qin Wu looked at them from behind, and suddenly shouted: "Hu Shiba, remember what you said , if Master Hou makes any mistakes, I, Qin Wu, will kill you."

Qin Wu's voice echoed in the barracks, but Qin Tian and Hu 18 who were riding fast horses had long since disappeared, and the afternoon sun suddenly became blazing.

Qin Tian looked at Feng Luoshan, feeling a little uncertain in his heart.

Grasping this kind of thing has never been absolute, and it is naturally the same for him.

In the face of reckless robbers, sometimes too civilized methods are useless.

He only hoped that Luo Huang would be a calm person, so that they would still have a chance to talk. Of course, he also hoped that Luo Feng would remember his merciful kindness back then.

After all, if it wasn't for his shout, Hu Shiba's big knife would have split her in half.
