Han official!

Chapter 85 City Flag
"Guo Jie!"

Wan Zimeng was kneeling in the guest room of the village official in the nearby farmland. When he heard that Guo Jie had entered Liushi, he was startled at first, then overjoyed: "I was just worried that I wouldn't have the chance to chop off Guo Jie's head, but now he's delivered it to me. Let's go, let's hurry back to Liushi immediately."

Jiatai is not far from Liushi.

We came here today to discuss occupying the fields of several villagers and using them as hidden fields without having to pay rent.

The discussion was almost complete and they were about to sign a forced sale agreement, but they heard shocking news.

When Wan Zimeng learned that Guo Jie had volunteered to die, he did not care about forcing the villagers to death or occupying their land. He immediately sent people to call all the members of the Wan family in Jiashe House, as well as the two hundred wanderers raised by the Wan family in Liushi.

He wore a red cap, walked on a twig, carried a sword and a knife, held a shield and was covered in armor.

Riding in a carriage covered with white cloth.

Behind the carriage was a mighty force of more than 300 people, wearing robes and holding two-foot swords, and they all rushed towards Liu Shi's residence.

Kill Guo Jie!

More than three hundred people, holding sharp two-foot swords, kept climbing over the wall to enter the long house.

No matter how brave Guo Jie and Mang Tong were, they could not stop the knights who poured in in large numbers.

Yi Zong's fighting and sword skills were slightly inferior, and he was most likely killed in the continuous attacks of more than 300 rangers.

The situation is critical.

Unless half of the more than 300 people Wan Zimeng brought with him were distributed.

Wan Zimeng sat on the screen of the white cloth-covered carriage, driving the car himself, with more than 300 people following behind him. He looked like a lieutenant leading the Northern Army to wipe out a large group of bandits.

Wan Zimeng was quite happy and contented.

Today, let Guo Jie, who fought a tiger with his bare hands, know one thing.

Why did the Wan family of Liushi become famous in Chang'an!

The group entered the gate of Liushi in a mighty procession. In front of them was the flag pavilion of Liushi. Only after passing the flag pavilion could they reach the long residence at the back gate.

There is a lili in the east, south, west and north of Liushi, and a market every four miles. The flag pavilion is also called the market tower.

The word "qi" in "qiting" comes from the flag standing on the city building.

A flag is erected on the upper floor as a sign of the opening of the market every day.

Hang up drums and beat them to stop the market.

Raise the flag and open the market.

Beat the drum to stop the market.

The flag pavilion has an earthen platform, about three meters high, shaped like a watchtower.

A two-story monastery is built on the earthen platform. It is the tallest building in Liushi and is used to hang the city flag.

Jin Shuzuo knelt in the second-floor residence with the windows wide open, overlooking the entire Liushi. He drank and listened to the music and dance of the actors, nodding his head constantly.

He was just a secretary in Huainan State.

When he arrived at Liushi, he was treated as an honored guest, enjoying all kinds of singing and dancing that had never been seen in Huainan Kingdom.

Jin Shuzuo looked down at the entire Liushi and sighed, "No wonder the emperor and the kings loved to build palaces and terraces. It's truly wonderful to be high above and look down on everything."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his sigh, a man rushed up the narrow rammed earth steps next to the monastery and kicked over the door of the monastery.

Zhang Qian was covered in blood, his jacket and trousers were torn in several places and stained with blood, and his hair bun was also blood red.

I don't know where the soap-colored cap was thrown away long ago.

Zhang Qian wiped the blood off his face, strode forward, and stared fiercely at Jin Shuzuo who had a look of shock on his face.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Qian laughed wildly, and with a "Puh" sound, he spat out blood foam from his mouth. He grabbed the collar of the Jin Shu Zuo's robe and said, "My bet was right! You are indeed on the earthen platform where the market opens and closes at the flag pavilion, not in the long residence at the flag pavilion."

He rushed into the flag pavilion. Only by capturing Jin Shuzuo could he save his life and attract all the pavilion guards to come over.

But there are two choices.

One is to go to the pavilion chief’s residence.

The second is to go to the platform where the market opens and closes.

Bet right.

live.

Wrong bet.

Death. Zhang Qian's gambling luck was quite good. He successfully found Jin Shuzuo who was enjoying himself and glared at the actor, saying, "Get out!"

Compared to the cruel and ruthless Guo Jie.

Zhang Qian couldn't bear to kill the innocent actor, so he took out a rope to tie up Jin Shuzuo and drove away the frightened actor.

A group of comedians tumbled and crawled down the narrow rammed earth steps.

Zhang Qian tied Jin Shu Zuo to the flagpole of the city flag in order to let everyone see it, to attract as many guards as possible, and to relieve Guo Jie's pressure.

He tied up Jin Shuzuo and pulled off the scabbard of the two-foot sword at his waist.

"Changlang——"

Zhang Qian pulled it out and saw that it was a two-foot sword made of fine iron. He threw away the two-foot sword in his hand, which was full of rice-grain gaps.

He charged all the way and even his two-foot sword became blunt.

"Pooh!"

Zhang Qian, holding a two-foot-long sword made of fine iron, stood alone at the narrow entrance of the stairs, staring at the dense crowd of guards and knights from Huainan State rushing towards him, and shouted loudly.

"The only way for people like us at the bottom of society to escape is to fight for our lives!"

"Come on! Come and kill me, Zhang Qian!"

A loud shout startled the guards at the flag pavilion.

But this made the knights of Huainan State very angry.

"The master is humiliated and the minister dies. Ersanzi did not want to be executed by Jin Chang, one of the Seven Dukes of Huainan, so he immediately rushed over to save Jin Shuzuo."

"Kill! Kill and save Jinchang's cousin."

"If Jin Shuzuo dies at his hands, we will have no face to live. Let's kill him and save him."

The two-foot swords were like a dense forest of swords, and a large number of Huainan knights holding two-foot swords rushed forward.

Kill your way to the top of the rammed earth steps.

Kill Zhang Qian who was guarding the pass alone.

"father!"

The thief who was at the flag pavilion in Liushi was Wan Zimeng's eldest son. He saw the scene at the flag pavilion in the distance and was shocked: "Jin Jin Shuzuo seems to be tied to the flagpole. Yes, that's right, the man tied up is Jin Shuzuo!"

"what!"

Wan Zimeng was shocked and immediately let go of the reins, stood on the carriage frame and looked at the city flag on the flag pavilion.

The number of guests under Liu An, King of Huainan, numbered in the thousands, among whom were seven of the most talented, who were known as the Seven Lords of Huainan.

They are all outstanding in literature, drumming, music, and art.

King Liu An of Huainan has always wanted to recruit the best in martial arts and swordsmanship to fill the last of the Eight Lords of Huainan.

The only thing missing from the Eight Lords of Huainan is a master in swordsmanship.

Everyone has been trying every possible way to recruit Lei Bei.

Recruit the last person who has reached the pinnacle of fencing and swordsmanship.

Jin Shuzuo's cousin Jin Chang was one of the Eight Dukes of Huainan.

"Little brat!"

Wan Zimeng was furious: "Take a hundred men, no, take half of the Rangers and charge over to rescue Jin Shuzuo. Remember, even if you die, Jin Shuzuo cannot afford any loss. If Jin Shuzuo dies in Liushi, the Wan family in Liushi will surely decline."

Qiudao gritted his teeth and hated the man near the city flag. He immediately took more than a hundred people and hurried to the city tower of the flag pavilion.

Rescue Jin Shuzuo as soon as possible.

Anyone from the Wan family in Liushi can die, except Jin Shuzuo.

"puff!"

Zhang Qian killed another man, and the top of the narrow rammed earth steps was filled with the corpses of the Huainan knights.

Temporarily halted the offensive of the Huainan Rangers.

Zhang Qian stretched out the tattered sleeve of his black robe and wiped the blood off his face. He watched Wan Zimeng separate more than a hundred people and take the remaining hundred or so people to Changshe.

He silently repeated a sentence in his heart.

"Brother, I should be able to survive."
