Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 177: Where did General Niu come from?
With a shout, the heroic spirit soared to the sky and shocked the water fort!
Xu Zun looked towards the top of the city wall, but saw a crowd of people there, and they were obviously confused.
snort!
He snorted coldly, and when he turned around again, he saw that a dozen members of the Sanhe Gang, led by the giant man, had been subdued by Zhao Yu and others, and fell to the ground with bruised faces and noses.
"Take them back to the government office and interrogate them," Xu Zun deliberately said loudly, "These people openly attacked the imperial envoy, which is tantamount to rebellion. They must be severely punished!"
"Yes!" The guards did not delay and began to tie up these people with ropes.
Snap...
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer!
A blast of arrows was heard from the top of the Sanhe Gang’s water stronghold.
Immediately afterwards, someone on the city wall struck a gong. After the city gate opened, cavalry flew out first, followed by infantry.
Looking at the moat again, there were dozens of speedboats coming from the direction of the Ku River, with archers standing on the speedboats, each with a fully drawn bow, ready to fire.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Xu Zun and others were surrounded.
Seeing this grand scene, the guards finally stopped, but they were all experienced fighters who had seen many storms and waves, and no one showed any fear.
Xu Zun had anticipated these situations. He held his head high, chest puffed out, and looked slowly towards the city gate without changing his expression.
But a white horse jumped out of the city gate, and on the white horse sat a heroic female general!
This female general is wearing purple gold armor and holding a charcoal black steel whip in her hand!
Da da da…
As the horses approached, the gang members immediately separated on both sides and stepped out to meet the female general.
"I've lived for so long, and today I've finally learned something new!" The female general frowned and said, "Someone actually dared to beat up my brothers at the gate of the Sanhe Gang's water fort, and even brazenly said he would take them back to the government office!
"Okay, okay," she pointed the steel whip at Xu Zun and said, "Today I want to see if you can walk out of our water fort!"
"How dare you!" However, how could Xu Zun let this woman's arrogance overshadow him? He shouted loudly and said fearlessly, "It seems that you Sanhe Gang really want to rebel! Don't you even take the imperial envoy seriously?
"Little girl," Xu Zun said fiercely, "Do you really want to destroy the foundation of your Sanhe Gang that has been established for decades in your hands? "
"Shameless lunatic!" The female general was furious. "You are really going too far! Hey! Take my whip!"
The next second, the female general slapped the horse's back, raised the steel whip and rushed over to whip Xu Zun.
However, at this critical moment, a female voice suddenly came from behind the female general:
"Stop it, Yoona! Don't be rude!"
Hearing the shout, the gang members stood up in silence, and the female general had no choice but to stop her horse and retract the steel whip.
Next, a Taoist nun in Taoist robes walked out from behind the female general's white horse.
This Taoist nun seemed to be in her thirties, with an equally heroic figure and eyes as sharp as lightning.
However, compared to the young female general, the female Taoist nun was obviously much more mature.
"Wulian Tianzun," the nun came closer and bowed to Xu Zun, saying, "Li Ronger, the leader of the Sanhe Gang, pays respect to the Lord of the Tangzhou Judicial Commission!"
oh……
Although he had already noticed something, Xu Zun was still surprised to learn that the leader of the Sanhe Gang was actually a female Taoist nun.
"So you are the famous Gang Leader Li," Xu Zun asked with a straight face, "Your Sanhe Gang is quite powerful. Is this how you welcome me?"
"I hope you will forgive me, sir," Li Ronger said politely, "I am a poor villager, ignorant and stupid, and I am guilty of offending you, sir.
"But as the saying goes, ignorance is not blame. I hope Lord Xu will forgive me!"
"To be honest," Xu Zun said coldly, "I really want to forgive you, but please look at the situation now. What would you think if you were in my shoes?
"Boss Li, don't speak foolishly in front of a smart person. You don't think that the emperor sent Xu to Yonghui just to investigate the matter of the evil ghost eating people, do you?"
Hearing Xu Zun's threats, Li Ronger's face changed slightly.
In fact, Xu Zun’s sudden attack did catch Li Ronger off guard.
At this moment, she also received news that Xu Zun had executed the disciples of Zishan Sect and visited the Tan Gang. But before she could figure out what was going on, Xu Zun had already arrived at the foot of Shuizhai.
Helplessly, she could only turn Xu Zun away and observe for a while, but seeing Xu Zun rushing around recklessly and unreasonably, she became more and more unsure.
Even though their Sanhe Gang is very powerful in Yonghui, how could they not be afraid of the imperial court?
If Xu Zun was just a judge in Tangzhou, she would be confident that she could handle the situation. However, Xu Zun brought guards from the Inner Guard House with him, and he obeyed orders all the time. This could not help but make Li Ronger very afraid!
"Sir, these are all misunderstandings. They don't know the rules, and they don't know how high your position is. Please forgive them!"
Li Ronger waved her arms at her men, and those on horseback quickly dismounted, and the archers on the boat also quickly put away their bows and arrows.
The female general named Yoona also jumped off her horse very reluctantly.
"Master Xu," Li Ronger said with a smile, "My Yonghui is located in a remote area. We rarely see officials from the prefecture and the court coming here on weekdays. It is understandable that you don't know the rules!
"However, no matter what, I have neglected you, sir. As the leader of the Sanhe Gang, I cannot escape the blame and I am deeply ashamed!
"How about this, I hope you can give me a chance to apologize, how about that?"
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "How do I apologize?"
"Master Xu," Li Ronger pointed to the gate of the water stronghold, "If you would do me the honor, please follow me into the stronghold. I will prepare a good banquet to welcome you and apologize to you!
"My Sanhe Gang has made friends all over the world. Your Excellency will surely be able to feel our sincerity!"
When Li Ronger spoke, two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, as bright as peach blossoms and with a sweet taste.
However, this woman's eyes were as dark as water, and I wonder what countermeasures she was thinking about in her heart?
"Okay!" However, Xu Zun agreed without hesitation, "It just so happens that I didn't come to your Sanhe Gang to have fun. Since you want to entertain me, then let me see your sincerity!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to Dai Long, "Commander Dai, you guys should go back to the county government office and wait for orders. By the way, tell General Niu not to come over! I'll still be the one making the decisions here!"
"yes!"
Dai Longhan had already come down. On the one hand, he was worried that Xu Zun would be too rash to enter the camp like this. On the other hand, where was the General Niu? Wasn't this just a lie?
However, Dai Long was no fool. He understood that Xu Zun was bluffing. A fictitious "General Niu" would inevitably make Li Ronger and others even more guilty and fearful.
Next, Xu Zun asked Zhao Yu to drive instead of Liu Dong, and took Ani and Ku Niang in the car into the water fort.
Seeing this, Huo Anu hurriedly whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "Will that Ani cause trouble again? What if she kills innocent people after entering?"
"Haha," Xu Zun smiled faintly, "Then I'll hand her over to someone else and let her die in there! Don't worry, she's not stupid!"
Xu Zun was chatting and laughing so cheerfully that Li Ronger's palms were sweating.
So courageous...
At this moment, all the pressure was on Li Ronger. Although Li Ronger had a smile on her face, she was worried in her heart.
She didn't expect Xu Zun to agree to enter the village so readily. From this, it seems that this guy is really fearless. Maybe the government's army is already prepared to attack the water village!
She had planned to test it out again, but the feeling became more and more unsatisfactory, so she gave up the idea.
Just like that, surrounded by the Sanhe gang members, Xu Zun and Huo Anu were in front, and Zhao Yu drove behind, and they entered the inner city of the water fort.
"Well, Lord Xu," Li Ronger asked with a smile on her face, "I wonder what Lord Xu is doing here in my water fort this time?"
"Hehehe... Boss Li..." Xu Zun was just about to discuss things with Li Ronger.
But suddenly a scout from the Sanhe Gang came in from outside. He ran to the inner city bridge in panic and reported to Li Ronger:
"Boss, Boss...something bad has happened, something bad has happened! Um..."
When he got closer, he realized that there was a stranger beside Li Ronger.
"What's wrong? You're just pretending to be nervous," Li Ronger asked curiously, "What happened?"
"Boss, something terrible has happened!" In a hurry, the scout didn't care about anything else and shouted to everyone, "Master Wanqi of the Zishan Sect and Master Hua of the Tan Sect are all... all dead!!!"
