Robbers of the strongest system

Chapter 109 Qinzhou Guard General Xia Zhong
The person who came was a general with a strong physique. He rode on the horse in full body armor like a moving iron tower. Zhang Yi felt sorry for the horse under him, but the horse didn't seem to appreciate Zhang Yi's love. With a hiss, he ran faster.

Just when Zhang Yi was still sighing about the horse, the general had arrived. He pulled the reins to stop the horse, jumped down and walked quickly towards Zhang Yi. His movements were so coherent and light that Zhang Yi thought he had seen it wrong.

The general walked up to Zhang Yi and saluted and said: "The general Xia Zhong, the guard of Qinzhou, has met the emperor. The emperor arrived in Qinzhou. The general failed to greet him in time. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"Hehe, get up first."

"Thank you, Master Emperor."

"General Xia, how did you know it was me?"

"Yesterday, your majesty came down to the news that the emperor's teacher will pass through Qinzhou in the next two days, so the last general wanted to go out of the city to meet the emperor's teacher. I didn't expect to meet the emperor's teacher. Hehe, the appearance of the emperor's teacher is exactly the same as the painting. Emperor Master, originally the general came out of the city a long time ago, but there have been bandits in Qinzhou in the past few days, the general came here after sending away those blind people, and the general came late, so I hope the emperor forgives the crime." Xia Zhong While talking, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi opened it and saw that it was his portrait, and the painting looked quite similar.

"Hehe, don't always forgive your sins, I don't mean to blame you...the painting skills are not bad, and I don't know who painted it...General Xia, what is the situation of the banditry you are talking about?"

"I'm also a little confused about the humble job. In recent days, there has been a wave of horse bandits harassing me in Qinzhou City. Every time they come, they only shoot a few arrows and then leave quickly. We dare not sleep these days, no Dare to open the city gate..."

"Uh, what does this mean? Have you fought them?"

"We had a fight at the beginning, but the other party was not interested in fighting. He injured several of our brothers and then left. Imperial Master, the general found it very strange. Logically speaking, our Song Dynasty has a rich people and a powerful country, so there should be no such thing. There are so many horse bandits, and these horse bandits seem to appear out of thin air, we can't find their background at all."

"How are their combat effectiveness?"

"Very strong, at least we are no match for them if we go one-on-one."

"Huh?" Zhang Yi was very dissatisfied with Xia Zhong's statement. In his opinion, it was a sign of incompetence that a regular army could not defeat a group of horse bandits, and Xia Zhong, as their general, had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Emperor Master, it's not that low-level officials are afraid of death and don't try their best, but they are completely unlike ordinary horse bandits. They are like... By the way, they are more like an army than us. Emperor Master, you also know how effective an army is in combat. Just look at whether his discipline is strict. This gang of horse bandits is very disciplined. Every time they come and go, it seems as if they have gone through many trainings. In addition, I have fought with their leader. Even with my strength, it is basically impossible. I can't help the other party, but I feel like I'm being suppressed by the other party."

"You can't even beat it?" Zhang Yi saw that Xia Zhong also had first-class early-stage strength, but he said he couldn't beat it, which surprised Zhang Yi.

"Yeah, they came again a few days ago. I made preparations in advance to catch them all, but I didn't expect that the leader was very powerful. I was almost killed by them."

"What does that person look like?"

"The other person is wearing a mask, and we don't know what he really looks like."

"Then you should see clearly what weapon the opponent is using..."

"I know...that man used an iron pole. By the way, Emperor Master, that man seems to be crippled."

"I go……"

"Husband, although there are many people with canes in the world, there are not many cripples. When I go back and think about it, I should be able to figure out who he is."

"Don't think about it, I probably already guessed who he is, Xia Zhong, let me ask you, is there a woman among them?"

"There is one, but with a mask on, we don't know what it looks like."

"Hmph, I let them go earlier because I thought they were still useful, but they didn't listen to my warning, and even put on masks and continued to harm me, Da Song. It seems that they think they have lived too long .”

"Little...husband, could it be Master Li..."

"I figured it out a long time ago, hehe, now I have a reason to do it, Master Li can't blame me any more."

"Emperor, you mean?"

"You are right. They are not real horse bandits, but are pretended by the masters of Xixia Yipintang. Hehe, if you can not die after meeting so many masters of Yipintang, it shows that you really have some skills."

"What? Are they from Xixia Yipintang? Aren't they afraid of causing a war between the two countries?"

"It is precisely because of fear that they pretend to be horse bandits, but their method is too inferior and useless."

"But why do they do this? They just leave every time they come. They don't take advantage at all..."

"They made it for me to watch, hehe, since they want to watch, I'll send them to the underworld to watch, Xia Zhong, do you know when they will come next time?"

"I'm not sure, I've been here sooner or later in the past two days. If it doesn't change, they will come tonight."

"That's good...Mei Jian, find a more secluded place to hide all of our people. I won't let any of them go back tonight."

"Yes!"

"You take people back now, and then pretend to be very tired. Once they come, let us know by firing arrows. By the way, in which direction they usually retreat."

"The northwest is the direction from which the emperor's master came."

"That's just right, we'll lie in ambush by the side of this road, and when the time comes, surround them and kill them slowly."

"Emperor Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. There are at least 800 of them. In case...the humble position cannot explain to His Majesty."

"Hehe, don't worry about me here, you just need to do what I told you to do."

"But……"

"Stop it, go back quickly, don't worry, I can kill all those garbage by myself."

"what!"

"Go back quickly. I can be the emperor's teacher at such a young age. Why don't you believe it?"

"Then...Emperor Master, if you...you run towards Qinzhou City, and I will meet you then."

"Too much nonsense, get out of here."

"Yes Yes!"

"Wait, ask your people to burn these corpses on the spot. Remember, be careful when picking them up. These corpses are poisonous, and it will be troublesome if they get stuck."

"Emperor Master, who are they?"

"It's just some rubbish... What are you asking so much for, go quickly."

"Yes!"

"Xiaoyi, you are the same. He cares about you with kindness, but you treat his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs."

"He talks too much nonsense and doesn't look like a soldier at all. Hey, Zhengyuan is better. At least he can't say a word of what I say."

"That's because Zheng Yuan is afraid of you, and Xia Zhong doesn't beg you, why should he listen to you."

"Is Zheng Yuan afraid of me? That's because you respect me, okay? I said, Yue'er, why do I feel that you are here to do right to me today? It can't be because you didn't give you a reward."

"Yes, yes, husband, it was agreed to give us rewards at night, but there will be a war again at night."

"Xiao Yi, I think Yu Yan is hopeless..."

"Hey, I like it better this way, even if it doesn't work, I'm willing to save it."

"You two...that's right..."
