Zhenlongting

Chapter 104 Harvest
At the age of 30, Kang Tai Neng stood out from the barbarian dudes waiting to die, and took the position of fifth-rank general.

Although it is because he can fight bravely and has good martial arts skills, it is also because he knows how to adapt to the wind and can endure what others cannot bear.

Being grabbed by the throat and held in the air, the great humiliation made him want to vomit blood, and almost became furious.

However, deep down in his heart, he clearly knew that the anger at this moment was of no use at all, it was nothing more than making himself die faster.

Even if you cut the other party into pieces afterwards, so what, your life is gone.

"This... This is a misunderstanding. The assassin was shot several times, and it should be difficult to move at this time, but... and Master Zhang Kun, you are full of energy and blood, your body is strong, and you are not injured. Come to think of it, I must have made a mistake. people."

After saying this, Kangtai felt that he had exhausted all his strength.

Relying on his intuition on the battlefield, and the opponent's cold eyes full of killing intent, he can be absolutely sure that the assassin is the young man in front of him...

Even if Jing Da and Jing Er died at his hands, most of those foreign temple warriors also died at his hands.

However, he dared not say it, nor could he say it.

I have to search my guts to find a way to excuse the other party...

He had never experienced such an aggrieved thing in his life. At this moment, he could only lower his eyes and pretend to be obedient, not letting any trace of the anger and murderous intent in his eyes leak out.

"That's right, there is no evidence, so don't randomly find someone to take the blame. I know that the general sometimes leads troops to perform military duties outside, and has a bad habit of killing good people and pretending to be meritorious. But, in the capital, don't do anything reckless. You can't afford some things, and you can't afford to mess with some people."

Zhang Kun reached out and patted Kangtai's cheek, and said pointedly.

In my heart, I became even more vigilant.

Good guy.

This can be tolerated.

It's a character...

The more so, the more murderous intent boiled in his heart. This general, whose name is still unknown, probably hated himself thoroughly.

Deliberately want to crush each other to death.

The immediate environment is obviously not suitable.

Outside the gate of Yuanshun Escort, there are at least a thousand sergeants at this time, fully armed and blocking the surrounding area. If this guy is really killed, I am afraid that those sergeants will go crazy and fight to the death.

There are more than [-] people in the Escort Bureau, even if there are houses blocking them, facing the attack of more than [-] people, most of them will lose more than win, and they are likely to be wiped out.

Even if he could kill most of the opponent's horses and escape in a stalemate by relying on force, the consequences would be too tragic.

The wise do not do it.

The two were thinking about their own concerns and fears, and the scene unexpectedly became peaceful.

After a while, Kangtai couldn't bear it anymore...

He felt dizzy in his head, presumably because he was held by his throat for too long, he had difficulty breathing, there was no blood in his head, and his body was also a little uncomfortable.

Immediately, no longer caring about face, he squeezed his throat and said: "Master Zhang, you, can you let me go first and then... Let go, don't worry, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, we have no reason to be hostile."

"That's right, General Kangtai has already admitted his mistake, Master Zhang, what are you doing with him, you don't have to hurt your peace."

Qi Fulin hurried forward to smooth things over.

Just now, soldiers around him blocked the door, which shocked him.

Seeing that there is a turning point at this time, how dare you delay it? If there is another accident, it will not be good.

Hong Huatong also chimed in.

"Zhang Kun, it's better to get rid of enemies than to end them. It's just that you have admitted to the wrong person. There's no need to hold on to such a trivial matter. Forget it."

Are you pigs?
Seeing Qi Fulin and Hong Huatong talk like this, there are actually a large number of bodyguards and trainers who agree.

Zhang Kun was speechless.

Believe it or not, if I release this barbarian general, as soon as he reaches a safe place, he will immediately order an attack?
Some people, some things, if you believe it, then you are a fool.

However, Qi Fulin, Hong Huatong and others didn't know the inside story, so it's not surprising that they were lucky.

Stupid is a bit stupid, but it is not easy to explain the reason to them.

He didn't say much, just said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer."

The time was anxious, every minute and every second passed, and a stick of incense passed in the blink of an eye.

The situation in the lobby of Yuanshun Escort Bureau seemed to have come to a standstill.

A young man in a green robe was holding a barbarian general in armor with a wound on his head.

Just standing quietly in the center of the hall...

Everyone watched helplessly, and no one dared to move rashly.

Even the thirty guards who came in with Kangtai could only watch helplessly.

The reason is very simple, to cast a mouse.

As long as someone opens the gun safety, or someone walks forward with a knife.

No one can guarantee that the young man standing there like a statue will feel sore and unscrew the head of their chief general?
After a while, Zhang Kun heard a commotion outside.

A large number of people and horses moved, and the sound of shouting came...

He looked relaxed and said with a smile, "Here we come."

When everyone looked up, they saw that the gate was open, surrounded by gray-white military uniforms with guns, moving away like a tide.

Another group of energetic soldiers in black military uniforms with swords and guns appeared in front of them.

The two sides confronted each other with guns raised, and no one dared to act first.

In front of the soldier in black military uniform, two horsemen galloped towards them at high speed...

One was dressed in a straight military uniform, sitting on a horse with a straight figure.

The other person was tall and majestic, with the handle of a knife exposed on his shoulders, and the red silk was fluttering in the wind.

"Chief Escort..."

"The Chief Escort is back, and he brought along the Wuwei Youjun...it's all right."

"It turns out that Escort Zhang was waiting for this first. How did he know that Chief Escort Wang would move troops to rescue him?"

When everyone in the escort agency saw it, they cheered loudly.

Looking at Zhang Kun again, he felt admiration in his eyes.

Is this calculated in advance?Or was it a mistake?
However, seeing the presence of his old god, the calmness of waiting quietly all the time may be foreseen in advance.

This is not easy.

Wang Wu got off his horse in front of the door, walked into the hall in two or three steps, and cast a gloomy look at Kang Tai, "Zhang Kun, let General Kang go... Thank you for your hard work."

Of course Zhang Kun didn't wait any longer, he threw Kangtai to the ground, and turned to look at the new soldiers with slight curiosity.

He roughly guessed where this army came from.

Dao Wang Wu is busy with the reform all day long, and of course it is not without support.

It is actually unrealistic for so many people to succeed in the reform just relying on their passion and sharp lips.

They also have their own force.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Shuangcheng was recommended by some leaders of the reform faction to train the new army.

General Yuan, who is known as a military prodigy, only spent a few months to train a strong army of [-], equipped with the most advanced ordnance today...

Moreover, the military discipline is very strict, and they are not afraid of death in battle.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it is several levels stronger than the Imperial Army and Fengtai Daying Army.

The mental state is obviously different.

Why did they guess that the newly trained soldiers of the Wuwei Youjun would not sit back and watch Yuanshun Escort Bureau be surrounded.

It's actually very simple.

Now the court is divided into two factions, and they are attacking.

The school of reform is determined to abolish officials, abolish imperial examinations, and set up schools.

The voices of the court and the people are getting louder and louder, and they have already taken over the general trend...

Although the power of resistance is great, it is dying.On the bright side, the Reform faction actually has the absolute upper hand.

At least, the level of public opinion has been completely controlled.

Governors across the country expressed their support.Newspapers all over the country are also advocating the benefits of the reform to strengthen the country.

One of the reasons why there is such momentum is the support of foreigners.

The most important reason is that standing behind them is the emperor, representing orthodoxy.

Emperor Guangxu stood on the platform in person, with the power in his hands, and some old officials even waved their flags and shouted, it was unstoppable.

The implementation of the reform, even if there are many obstacles, will be slowly implemented in an irreversible posture.

Under such circumstances, any large-scale mobilization of soldiers and horses in the capital will affect the sensitive nerves of some people.

No one dared to act rashly.

Because advantage does not equal victory.

Although the Empress Dowager of the West Palace has delegated power for a long time, most of the troops are still in her hands.

For example, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Fengtai camp.

Another example is the tens of thousands of elite imperial guards... the admiral of the Nine Gates patrolled the Fifth Battalion and the Nine Gates Thousand Chiefs.

Also, there is a group of Ouchi bodyguard masters.

Either overtly or secretly, they are all in the hands of veteran officials who are close to Xigong.

With military power in his hands, that Lafayette, even if he does nothing, can still sit on the Diaoyutai... No one dares to force her forcefully, but they are worried that they will push her into a hurry, and using force to seize power will be really bad.

One side took up the face, and the other took up the inside.

The Imperial Party and the Queen's Party are still in a state of quarreling at this time, and no one is determined to use force.

Everyone knows that once force is used at this time, people's hearts will be scattered and the country will be in chaos.

Don't say it's just trying to improve the law, and if there is civil strife, Da Qingguo's hypocrisy will collapse without being pushed.

What else do you use to control the world?
Therefore, what Counselor Kangtai has done has already stepped on a certain sensitive line.The school of reform will definitely not allow it.

When Wang Wu got the news, he dispatched troops to help, and it was logical.

This is Zhang Kun's own deduction based on the situation in the capital during this period and the lack of historical data in his mind.

Now it seems that there is no mistake in judgment.

……

"General Kang, the Yuanshun Escort Bureau is not a place for your Wuwei Zhongjun to show off its prestige, please go back."

Wang Wu didn't give Kangtai any face, and scolded him directly.

Two days away from home, the fire started in the backyard. Is it the intention of the West Palace, or is it the general's own idea?

Judging from the current situation, it is likely that this general is acting on his own, he is used to domineering, and cannot see the situation clearly.

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings, and I will leave at the end."

Kangtai squeezed out a smile and hurriedly apologized.

While talking, he led people directly out of the front door in a desperate manner. With a whistle, the Wuwei Zhongjun retreated like a tide, and no one stopped him.

Kangtai left the Yuanshun Escort, gathered all the troops, and then quietly wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. Angry in his heart, he looked back with crazy eyes.

"What a Yuanshun Escort, what a Zhang Kun."

"After going back, prepare gunmen, go to Yuanshun Escort, rent a few private houses, and send ten gunmen to guard that day and night... I don't believe it, Zhang Kun is always on guard."

Kangtai himself is also a warrior, so he naturally understands that martial arts practitioners have five senses.

But no matter how sensitive the method is, the opponent will definitely not notice it before the attack occurs.

In this complex street environment, it cannot be discovered in advance. Once entering the ambush circle, facing the saturation attack of guns, even the most powerful master-level masters are likely to be killed directly.

Been so angry.

New hatred and old hatred came to my heart for a while.

Without killing the man, he felt like he couldn't sleep.

……

"Well done, Brother Zhang, I've heard about the incident. If you hadn't been on your shoulders these days, the Escort would have been very difficult."

Great Swordsman Wang Wu's face was not very good-looking.

During this period of time, not only was there a turmoil in his own bodyguard bureau, but there was also a disturbance in Wanmu Thatched Cottage.

The desperadoes who came from nowhere launched a suicidal attack on those scholars.A moment of negligence, three or four students of Wanmu Thatched Cottage have already died.

These people are the backbone of the reform faction, the advanced students who charged forward.

If they can't protect them well, they will be assassinated by life, and the great cause of reform will be stopped.

Compared with that big event, some business difficulties of the own bodyguard agency are not so important.

He couldn't get away.

"It's okay, as long as the reputation of the chief escort is still there, there will be no major changes. No matter who the opponent is, you have to be cautious."

Zhang Kun laughed.

"That's right, my knife is still somewhat useful."

Wang Wu burst out laughing.

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is General Wen Yuzhang Wen. Lord Yuan was worried, so he sent General Wen to bring a thousand new troops... Sure enough, Kangtai didn't dare to fart, Just retreat and leave."

"Thank you, General Wen, for making the rescue."

Zhang Kun said with a smile.

"Master Zhang is polite."

Wen Yuzhang raised his hand as a military salute, his eyes were calm and his complexion was iron.

Without much greeting, he nodded to Wang Wu, waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command walked away with their guns in uniform steps.

"Strict and strict, cold and iron-blooded, I heard that Yuan Shuangcheng adopted the Western-style military training method of the Federation of Will, and the troops he trained were very good at fighting, and won the attention of the court officials. Brother Zhang, don't blame General Wen for not being ignorant of etiquette. , These people are like this, they treat everyone like this..."

Wang Wu explained from the side.

I'm afraid that Zhang Kun will feel dissatisfied in his heart.

Moreover, from his tone, it can be heard that this envoy Yuan Shuangcheng, who is very knowledgeable about soldiers, admires Mr. Yuan very much.

Zhang Kun's eyes were strange, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after thinking about it.

As the saying goes, you can't be close to each other.

If I said too much, it would be a mistake. It might detonate the factors of instability in advance, making the reform even more difficult.

Now things have not happened, and I have no evidence.

No matter how much you say, it can only make people laugh, and it will have no effect at all.

You know, today's Da Dao Wang Wu, Tan Weixin and Yuan Shuangcheng are so good that they wear a pair of pants, and they wish they could sleep together every day.

Isn't it fun for you to speak ill of them?

Looking at the slightly tired face of Dao Wang Wu and his slightly gray mane, Zhang Kun didn't want to say anything.

The strength is not as good as people, the power is not as good as people, some things, even if you know it, nothing can be changed.

It's better to let them be more happy, at least, this spirit will not be lost.

As Tan Weixin said, even if it is not successful, it can wake up the world with blood.

Some roads, even though they are temporarily impassable, have to be opened and walked by someone...

……

Wang Wu came back in a hurry and left in a hurry.

He didn't stay in the Escort for too long, he explained a few words, and he didn't even speak to his biological daughter Wang Jingya, so he put everything aside.

Seeing Wang Jingya's disappointed expression, Zhang Kun couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Therefore, every person with great ambitions is not very qualified for his family.

People's energy is limited, if you can take care of one side, you can't take care of the other side.

He found an excuse, dismissed Li Xiaowan, Wang Jingya and others, and returned to his own quiet room in the Escort.

At this time, I have time to take a good look at the property bar.

You must also improve yourself.

A full 18 points of dragon energy, shining golden.

At this time, he was a little satisfied.

It was not in vain that I had a series of battles and suffered a gunshot wound. I worked hard all day.

Originally, he used his spare belt to treat illnesses, and he had accumulated 5 points of dragon energy to protect himself, but he didn't dare to use any of it.

On the long street at the entrance of the Hutong, he killed five temple warriors with lightning speed, and he discovered that each of these people was full of resentment.

Perhaps because of their identities as foreigners, they are used to domineering on the land of Daqing Kingdom, so many people dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

Or maybe these people are very active and have killed many people...

The specific reasons are beyond test, but, among the five lives, some contributed a little dragon energy, and some contributed two points of dragon energy, so Zhang Kun gained a total of 8 points of dragon energy.

Needless to say, this is a great achievement.

Except for the foreigners temple warrior here.

There is also the guard team of Yuanshun Escort Bureau.

Yuan Guangyao and Tang Wenjun each contributed 1 point of Dragon Qi. These two people, including the past, have each contributed 2 points of Dragon Qi to Zhang Kun, which can be regarded as the achievement of worship and respect.

As for Wu Zhongda, he didn't give it this time.

He has already given two points of Dragon Qi.

These people, even if Zhang Kun told them to fight to the death next time, they probably wouldn't hesitate.

Compared with the acquisition of dragon energy points, Zhang Kun didn't really need this kind of conviction and respect.

However, the pay has paid off, and the mood is comfortable after all.

As for the confrontation with the 20 Wuwei Army for a while, he was injured and fled in embarrassment, killing nearly [-] people on the other side.

Unexpectedly, I also got 3 points of Dragon Qi, which was unexpected.

I don't know who touched the feelings of gratitude.

In the Escort Bureau, after the general Kang Tai was in charge of the siege, some people who had an inexplicable attitude towards him, including two bodyguards who could not be named, each contributed a little dragon spirit.

Presumably, those two people have already changed their minds, and they will take the initiative to seek refuge in a short time.

People's hearts are very complicated and changeable, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight if everyone trusts and respects them.

Zhang Kun actually didn't care much about this.

All he wants is dragon energy.
