The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 106 Acting on behalf of Jiedushi
"Handsome!"

"Handsome man wakes up!"

Everyone was surprised and happy, and rushed forward.

Squamway forced a smile on his ashen face, and waved his hands feebly, signaling to everyone that there is no need to be polite.

He was wearing a thick cloak, and there were faint traces of blood on the white inner lining.

Zhu Xiu pushed Ma San away, limped forward, and looked carefully with wide eyes.

"Look at the fart! I can't die!"

Shi Kuangwei scolded him angrily, and Zhu Xiu grinned: "It's good if you can curse, it means you recover very quickly!"

The two glared at each other, laughing and cursing a few words each.

"How is your kid's injury?" Shi Kuangwei asked in a hoarse voice as he coughed twice in pain.

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "The flesh wound is not serious."

Shi Kuangwei nodded, his face darkened, and he looked across the crowd and landed on Chu Xing.

"Kneel down!" Yan Ping and Chen An pushed him down to the ground.

"Handsome." Chu Xing was still a little afraid of Shi Kuangwei. Seeing him suddenly appear injured, he lowered his head and did not dare to be as arrogant as before.

Zhu Xiu approached Guan Tieshi and whispered, "Why are you here?"

Guan Tieshi said softly: "I received your message and rushed back overnight without resting for a moment on the road. When I first entered Yacheng, I heard that you had an accident. When the handsome man woke up and found out, he ordered me to lead his troops into the mansion."

Zhu Xiu nodded. Lao Shi was still experienced and knew that Chu Xing had been caught by mistake. He was worried that this would cause further divisions in the Ya army, so he ordered Guan Tieshi to lead his troops into the mansion for defense. He himself came forward in person regardless of his injuries.

Guan Tieshi's prestige in the Ya army was second only to Shi Kuangwei and Wei Hu. With him by his side, it was more convenient for Zhu Xiu to command the Ya army.

Shi Kuangwei shouted in a hoarse voice: "Chu Xing, why did you assassinate Zhu Xiu? Who ordered you?"

"Young Master, I'm humble." Chu Xing lowered his head and muttered for a long time before hesitatingly said: "Unless Zhu Xiu dies, the civil strife in the Zhangyi Army cannot be quelled."

"Fart your mother!~" Skuangwei was very angry, coughing again and again, and pointed at him with trembling fingers: "Do you really think that I dare not kill you? Tell the truth!"

Chu Xing trembled all over: "Humble job, humble job"

Shi Kuangwei turned to glare at Pang Guangsheng and others: "You also want to commit trouble?"

Pang Guangsheng and several commanders immediately knelt down. Pang Guangsheng said bravely: "Master, please calm down. We just want to beg Deputy Envoy Zhu to spare Chu Xing's life! Chu Xing has made many meritorious deeds, and the attack on Deputy Envoy Zhu was just a temporary outburst." , please forgive me, handsome man."

Shi Kuangwei cursed angrily: "Pang Guangsheng, I know you and Chu Xing have always been brothers and sisters, but this time, he attacked Zhu Xiu, do you really dare to say that he was confused for a while?"

Pang Guangsheng clasped his fists and lowered his head with a wry smile on his face, not daring to speak any more.

Shi Kuang's majestic gaze swept across the soldiers: "Whoever dares to plead for Chu Xing again will be regarded as an accomplice and punished according to military law!"

Several commanders and the leading soldiers under their command all obeyed.

Shi Kuangwei is sick, but the power of the tiger is still there.

Wei Hu moved his lips but said nothing.

"Chu Xing, I gave you one last chance, why did you attack Zhu Xiu? Tell the truth!" Shi Kuangwei stared at him and said.

"I'm in a humble position." Chu Xing seemed to be aware of the murderous intent revealed in Shi Kuangwei's low tone, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

"Bold Chu Xing! Why don't you recruit him from the truth!" Guan Tieshi pulled out his knife with a clang and shouted.

Chu Xing's eyes were full of horror, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Wei Hu, and begged: "General. General, please save me~"

Wei Hu's face became colder and colder, no matter how much Chu Xing cried and begged, he didn't respond at all.

"Come here! Behead Chu Xing in public display!" Shi Kuangwei said sharply.

"Handsome Master, spare your life!" Chu Xing's legs went weak and he almost collapsed. He kowtowed, his heart pounding, and his voice trembled as he said, "This is a humble position."

Before he could say anything, the horizontal knife in Wei Hu's waist suddenly came out of its sheath, a cold light flashed, Chu Xing's voice stopped abruptly, his head rolled to the ground, blood spattered from his broken neck.The human head rolled over, revealing a pair of eyes that could not rest in peace.

Wei Hu knelt down on one knee with his sword in hand and said in a deep voice: "Chu Xing is my subordinate. He has violated military law and should be executed by me personally! Wei Hu is not strict in discipline, please punish him!"

Shi Kuangwei sighed and patted Wei Hu's arm gently: "Get up. Chu Xing has been following you for four years, and it is really difficult for you to kill him with your own hands. But, how could he attack Zhu Xiu for no reason? Come to think of it. Is it under the instruction of the Xue family? It’s better to get rid of this kind of villain who adapts to the wind as soon as possible~"

Wei Hu said: "Thank you handsome master for considering me as the final general. Chu Xing once received many benefits from the Xue family. I thought he could change his past and cut off contact with the Xue family. I didn't expect that I almost killed Brother Xiu due to my oversight."

Wei Hu sighed with self-reproach and clasped his fists apologetically towards Zhu Xiu.

"Brother Wei is serious!" Zhu Xiu hurriedly returned the greeting.

"Forget it, Chu Xing is dead, and we won't pursue the rest anymore. The Xue family has already sent troops to conquer Qicheng City and march towards Anding County. Jiao Jixun's Fengxiang Army should be arriving soon. The two of you must work together to overcome the difficulties!"

Shi Kuangwei looked at Zhu Xiu and Wei Hu, and sighed sincerely.

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief!" the two of them responded in unison.

Pang Guangsheng looked at the bloody head, and then at Wei Hu who put the horizontal sword into the sheath as if nothing had happened, and sighed deeply in his heart.

Shi Kuangwei nodded towards Guan Tieshi, and Guan Tieshi came forward holding a tray. On the tray was placed a military seal, which represented the military power of the rebels.

Song Shen, Pei Jin and others looked at each other in surprise. All the commanders stared with wide eyes, wondering what the handsome master was going to do.

"Wei Hu." Shi Kuangwei whispered, and Wei Hu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

Shi Kuangwei looked at him and said solemnly: "You are the number one general in our Zhangyi Army. When it comes to charging into battle and destroying cities and villages, no one in the Zhangyi Army can match you!"

After a pause, Shi Kuangwei continued: "But managing military affairs and managing people's livelihood is different from marching and fighting. In this aspect, you are not as good as Zhu Xiu."

There was a hint of unwillingness in Wei Hu's eyes, and he lowered his head and said in a dull voice, "Wei Hu is willing to listen to Commander Ji's orders!"

Skuangwei patted him on the shoulder, took the tray from Guan Tieshi, looked at Zhu Xiu, and said solemnly with a black face, "Zhu Xiu obeys orders!"

Zhu Xiu looked at the soldier seal letter on the tray and was stunned.

"Ahem. Zhu Xiu listens to the order!" Shi Kuangwei's face suddenly flushed and he shouted with a raised voice.

Zhu Xiu hurriedly put down his robe and knelt down, handed over his hands and obeyed the order.

Shi Kuangwei looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "From now on, Zhu Xiu will assume the duties of the Zhangyi Jiedushi envoy, and will appoint all the military, civilian, and financial rights of the Zhangyi Army. All Jiedu government officials, state and county officials, and soldiers Horses, all obey his orders! Zhu Xiu’s orders are my commander’s orders. Anyone who doesn’t obey will be killed!”

Everyone was solemn and promised in unison: "I will obey the commander's order!"

"Old Shi, I" Zhu Xiu whispered and wanted to refuse. Shi Kuangwei's eyes widened, his face flushed, and he coughed violently.

"Okay, I'll just take the order, don't get excited!" Zhu Xiu was afraid that he would get hurt because of his anger, so he quickly took the tray with both hands. The heavy military talisman seal was really heavy.

"When you recover from your injury, I will return to power! You old boy, you arrested my strong man again, and hide yourself!"

Zhu Xiu muttered, looking dissatisfied.

"Ahem~ stop talking! We'll talk about it later!" Squamwell was so angry that his wound hurt, he grinned his teeth and stared at the bull in a low voice.

Wei Hu on the side heard the conversation between the two and secretly clenched his fists.

"The Xue family's evil plans have caused civil strife in the Zhangyi Army. You should assist Zhu Xiu with all your heart and put an end to the chaos as soon as possible!"

"I obey my orders! Handsome Master, please rest in peace and recuperate!~"

Skuangwei raised his voice again and waved his hands. Two soldiers raised their shoulders and sent him back to the back house to rest.

Shi Xiangwen grinned broadly at Zhu Xiu and followed him back unsteadily.

Zhu Xiu looked down at the tray and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

From now on, he will be at the helm of the small broken ship of the Changyi Army.
