high official

Chapter 893 Tai'an
After burying Paoze's body in the shade of the mountain, Wang Xian and the others set off in the dark.Tonight, leaden clouds covered the sky, the stars and the moon were dark, and it began to rain very quickly. Even the most experienced guides could not tell the difference between east, west, and north.

Zhang Dong was secretly worried, but found that others were following Shi Wan calmly, the old thief was there, and he seemed not worried about getting lost at all.

Zhang Dong endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, a group of horses came to Shi Wan's side, and said in a low voice, "How do you know the direction?"

Shi Wan rolled his eyes at him, and said with a sneer, "It's a thug's trick that can't be put on the table."

"I was wrong," Zhang Dong's character really made people helpless, he said very sincerely: "I shouldn't say that about you. In fact, think about it, the skill is not overwhelming, as long as I don't steal anything, I can learn it." A thief is not a thief."

"Go away!" Shi Wanyi shook his coir raincoat, shaking Zhang Dong's face with water.

Zhang Dong wiped his face helplessly, and stepped back sullenly.

Shi Wan waited for a while, but still did not see Zhang Dong approaching, so he sneaked a glance at the boy, seeing him following him dejectedly, and had no intention of approaching him again.I couldn't help being depressed for a while, and said loudly: "Then you just want to learn from me?!"

"En." Zhang Dong nodded vigorously.

"It's not too bad, let's take a look." Shi Wan threw an object the size of an egg to Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong hurriedly took it with both hands, and took a closer look, it was a small compass with a luminous dial. Even in such a dark night, the pointer above can be seen.

"What is this?" Zhang Dong didn't know this thing.

"Sinan, also known as the compass, the direction pointed by this pointer is north, so we are heading west now." Shi Wan was very satisfied with Zhang Dong's ignorance, and said proudly, "It's for grave robbers."

"How can it shine?" Zhang Dong asked.

"This base is half a priceless luminous pearl." Shi Wan became more and more proud: "How about it, does this business have a future?"

Zhang Dong handed the thing back to Shi Wan, and said seriously: "I don't know how to be a thief."

"Just like you, you are still a thief, do you have that ability?" Shi Wan was very dissatisfied with his attitude: "At best, it is the level of robbery."

"I'm not going to rob houses." Zhang Dong said hastily.

"You..." Shi Wan was almost pissed off by this brainless kid.

.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Wang Xian and the others trekked hard in the rain, not daring to stop at all.When it was dawn, everyone was suffering from hunger and cold, shivering in the morning wind, and those wounds were even more difficult to bear, and many people even fainted... If they were not tied to the horses, they would have fallen off the horses ...

"How far is it from Tai'an?" Wang Xian was very worried. His subordinates had to rest immediately and could not stand any challenge.

"There are still twenty miles." Zhang Dong replied hastily.

Before the words fell, the scouts in front of the road came hurriedly, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, it's not good! There is an enemy situation!"

"What?!" Wang Xian threw off his poncho in shock, and all the soldiers looked solemn.

"About [-] riders, just one mile away, are speeding towards us!" The scout reported in a deep voice.

"Ah!" Shi Wan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly yelled, "This is going to be troublesome! My lord, let's go south quickly!"

"I can't go away!" Zhou Yong said anxiously: "My lord, we block the enemy soldiers, you and the two wives retreat quickly!" Ling Xiao gave Zhou Yong a white look, but did not refute.

"I said before that we will live and die together with you." Wang Xian shook his head, pulled out the bloody sword in his hand, and said lightly: "Jin Yiwei, you can only advance and never retreat!" It can still hold on, and the war horse is already on the verge of kicking. If you escape, you will only have a dead end.Instead of this, it's better to go up and fight and have a good time. Killing one will pay back and killing two will make money!
However, Wang Xian did not immediately order the attack, but ordered the scouts to investigate again, and his subordinates stood ready.

The enemy soldiers were just one mile away, and they had already spotted Wang Xian and the others, and they were rushing towards this side at full speed.Jin Yiwei took a favorable position, watching the black line billowing in the distance with all his attention, and everyone's hearts hung in their throats.

"Boy," Shi Wan said with a bared grin to Zhang Dong, "You won the jackpot the first time you came out, you're so lucky..."

Zhang Dong's face was tense, but he was no longer as nervous as before, and said calmly, "Don't worry about me later, protect the big man..."

"Go to the ball! I still use people to protect?!" The big old Gao blew his beard and stared at the words, but because of his excessive movements, he pulled the wound, and the pain caused him to almost fall off his horse.

The soldiers let out a chuckle. What do these warriors who look down on life and death have to fear?
In a blink of an eye, the team of men and horses has come to the front, Jin Yiwei has guns in hand, bows are stringed, and the battle is imminent!
However, the team stopped suddenly, several generals rode over, and the leader was actually Zhou Gan!
Jin Yiwei was immediately confused, but saw Wang Xian showing a charming smile.

"Your subordinate is late to pick you up," Zhou Gan saw the distressed appearance of all his colleagues, he quickly got off his horse and knelt in the mud to plead guilty: "Please punish me, my lord!"

"The last general of the Jining Guard Commander Zhu Wei pays his respects to Uncle!" A general in his thirties who was following behind Zhou Gan hurriedly saluted Wang Xian: "I am late to pick you up, please forgive me, Uncle."

"Everyone please hurry up, what is your crime?" Wang Xian helped the two of them up with a smile, and thanked Zhu Wei: "Fortunately, my brother Cheng Guogong told me about you, otherwise I'm afraid this time Big trouble."

"My country's father-in-law sent a special letter to instruct me. If my uncle has orders, I will not hesitate to do so." Zhu Wei is the old general of the country's Duke Zhu Neng. In Zhu Yong's generation, he has been released as a commander, but psychologically , he is still a member of Cheng Guogong's mansion, so naturally he has to listen to Zhu Yong.What's more, Wang Xian still has the command talisman for dispatching troops in his hand!

.

This sudden reinforcement was because before Wang Xian left Jinan, he thought that in case of failure, there must be someone to support him.Thinking that before leaving, Zhu Yong had mentioned this Zhu Wei to himself, at least he could guarantee that he was neither a Hanwang nor a member of the White Lotus Sect.So he took out the yellow jade talisman bestowed by the emperor, and asked Zhou Gan to go to Jiningwei to dispatch troops and bring them to meet him.

The emperor's yellow jade talisman is one of the 12 yuan tiger talismans that control the world's soldiers and horses. It can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Shandong, of course, the premise is that the other party still has the imperial court in mind.Although Wang Xian didn't doubt Zhu Wei, he couldn't let Zhou Gan move his troops ahead of time, so as not to leak the news.According to the agreement, Zhou Gan did not show up at Jiningwei until noon yesterday, that is, after the beheading operation started, and mobilized Zhu Wei's troops to go north, so he hurried to meet Wang Xian this morning...

It was precisely because of this sudden reinforcement that disrupted the deployment of the White Lotus Sect, and made those forces that were planning to encircle and wipe out Wang Xian all shrink back.

In any case, reinforcements arrived and the alarm was lifted.Under the escort of Jining guard officers and soldiers, Wang Xian and others entered Tai'an City at noon.It is completely safe to enter Tai'an City. Unless the White Lotus Sect or the King of Han want to rebel immediately, no one can kill an imperial envoy who is heavily guarded in a county town.

Tai'an was not the defense zone of the Jining Guards. Although Zhu Wei dispatched troops based on the command amulet, it was only right and proper, but he still had to get along with the generals of Tai'an in the future, so it was better not to enter the city.Wang Xian was very considerate of this, and after thanking him again and again, he asked Zhu Wei to lead the troops back.

Tai'an County is a territory of Jinan Prefecture. The magistrate of Tai'an County once went to Dezhou to welcome Wang Xian, but he never dreamed that the imperial envoy would suddenly come from the east, and he would bring a group of bloody murderers with him... But no matter what, Tai'an County Ling didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly gave up his county government office to accommodate the imperial envoy and his party, and at the same time ordered people to report to Jinan City urgently, asking the chief political envoy to make a quick decision!

Wang Xian asked Tai'an county magistrate to gather all the doctors in the city to the county office and ordered them to do their best to treat the wounded.As for trifles such as arranging his subordinates and improving food, he naturally doesn't have to worry about it... At this moment, Wang Xian just wants to take a hot bath and let himself go before talking.

The bathroom was full of white air, Wang Xian was immersed in the slightly scalding water, and was in a trance.Gu Xiaolian, who had finished grooming, gently scooped water outside the bathtub to wash his long hair. The long hair had been congealed into a bunch by the blood stains, and when it was scalded by hot water, the blood stains melted away, and the shampoo turned into It was red, and the room was filled with bloody smell, which couldn't be suppressed even after lighting sandalwood.

But Wang Xian didn't notice it, he just sat there so firmly, but his mind had already flown to the sky... It wasn't until the slight stabbing pain in his back called him back from the state of wandering spirit, and he subconsciously let out a low hum .

"Officer, just bear with it," Gu Xiaolian said softly as he was treating a small wound on his back, "It won't hurt in a while."

"Hehe..." Wang Xian smiled self-deprecatingly, "If people find out, Jin Yiwei's big head is afraid of pain, will he be laughed out of his teeth?"

"It's human nature to be afraid of pain, what's so funny?" Gu Xiaolian's voice was soft and waxy, which was the best medicine to soothe the soul: "Besides, my family will never tell others." She whispered in her ear He took a deep breath and said softly, "This is our little secret."

"Okay, it's a deal." Wang Xian nodded, glanced at his hands that were soaked white, and slowly stood up from the bathtub, and said in a low voice: "I won't wash, help me get dressed."

Gu Xiaolian wiped Wang Xian's body with a bath towel. Her movements were extremely careful, and she didn't touch any wound on Wang Xian's body.After wiping it clean, she fetched a loose silk robe, put it on gently for Wang Xian, and then said softly while combing his hair: "These days, officials first wear this kind of loose and cool clothes. Wound recovery is good."

"I'm not that delicate yet," Wang Xian said with a smile, "But it's still necessary to pretend..."

.

Freshly washed and dressed, Wang Xian came out of the front hall, and saw Zhou Gan kneeling on his knees, his face full of pain.

"My lord, this time it's all the subordinate's fault!" Zhou Gan burst into tears and slapped himself twice: "I deserve death!"
