Chapter 154: Establishing authority in the street with one kick
The trooper's eyes were red.
As the captain of the Dayan Iron Cavalry, he has always had a high opinion of himself, especially looking down on these folk warriors, thinking that they are just stragglers who are just trying to show their courage.
But now he is stepped on by the person he looks down on the most, what a humiliation it is.
So he struggled hard, trying to break away from Zhao Ya's feet and raise his head.
But no matter how hard he tried, Zhao Ya's feet remained motionless, as if they were not a foot but a mountain.
At the same time, the expressions of his subordinates also changed dramatically, and someone shouted: "Let our captain go quickly, or else we will be punished by military law."
Zhao Ya frowned.
He really didn't expect these people to be so arrogant. He even said in advance that anyone who dared to move would crush his head.
They still dare to make threats, which shows what their usual behavior is like.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya sneered slightly and looked down at the cavalryman struggling at his feet.
"It seems that your men don't listen to you very much."
"Traitor, if you can, kill me, otherwise I, the Great Yan Cavalry, will definitely kill all of you warriors, especially you, I want to..."
The cavalry squad leader cursed loudly without any fear at all.
In his opinion, unless he planned to rebel, this person would never dare to do anything to him.
But at this moment, he felt the foot on his head getting heavier and heavier, and in the end he was even out of breath.
Only then did he panic.
"You're scolding, why don't you continue scolding? Didn't you say you want to kill us all?" Zhao Ya said calmly and continued to apply pressure with his feet.
Blood began to flow from the mouth and nose of the cavalry captain, and his body twisted violently like a prawn in boiling water.
The cavalrymen under him who were clamoring were all dumbfounded.
Because Zhao Ya's appearance at this time was really terrifying.
There was a person stepping on his feet, but the expression on his face was so calm, and there was even a faint smile on his face.
Many cavalrymen couldn't help but shivered, and then they remembered that this group of warriors were not stragglers at their mercy, but a force of warriors who had single-handedly repelled the beast tide.
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from the distant street, and at the same time, someone shouted in the distance: "Don't do it, this young hero, please give me face and don't kill anyone!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, and the cavalry captain's head exploded like a rotten watermelon.
Brains mixed with blood were sprayed all over the floor, and the smell was disgusting.
However, Zhao Ya, who had crushed the cavalry's heads by stepping on them, acted as if nothing had happened. He looked at the commotion of the cavalry opposite and said calmly.
"This Yunxiao County was saved by us warriors with our swords and spears and our lives. It's not your group of soldiers' turn to show off your power. This is just a small lesson. Next time I see you beating people casually, be careful. head."
After hearing this, the people on Zhao Ya's side naturally became energetic.
Many people looked at the group of cavalry on the opposite side eagerly, hoping that they would take action so that they could fight back openly.
But this group of cavalry, who were usually aloof and aloof, fell silent at this time.
Many people's hands were even trembling slightly.
After all, the corpse on the ground with its head crushed was worth a thousand words.
This group of cavalry finally understood that what they encountered this time were not civilians who could be scolded at will, but a group of warriors who dared to draw their swords in the street if they disagreed.
At this moment, the group of people who had shouted before also rushed forward, led by a general wearing armor.
When he saw the headless corpse that was trembling slightly on the ground, as well as the blood and brains all over the ground, his expression couldn't help but change, and he smiled bitterly.
"This young hero, haven't I already asked you to be merciful? If you have any problems, I will solve them for you when I come. Why do you insist on taking his life?"
Zhao Ya smiled faintly when he heard this, "This gentleman's words are wrong. It's not that I want his life. In fact, everyone heard it just now. I gave him a chance, but it's a pity that he didn't cherish it at all. You have repeatedly made rude remarks and even threatened my disciples, do you think such a person should not die?"
"Yes, I can testify that the guy just provoked Mr. Zhao many times, and he was seeking death on his own."
"I can also testify!"
"And I!"
For a time, all the warriors were excited and spoke one after another.
The general was left speechless, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw many warriors eager to try, as if they were worried about the world being in chaos.
"If that's the case, then he is indeed seeking death himself."
"Captain!"
Someone behind him shouted. The captain waved his hand to signal his men not to speak, and then looked at Zhao Ya and said.
"If I guess correctly, you must be Zhao Ya, Young Master Zhao, right?"
Zhao Ya smiled.
"Yes, it's me."
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. I am Sun Yingkui, a captain under Commander Wei."
"Captain Sun!" Zhao Ya clasped his fists.
He could see that this Sun Yingkui had no ill intentions towards him and the other warriors, but had been trying to suppress the matter.
Although this was destined to be just wishful thinking, it was out of good intentions, so Zhao Ya still maintained his respect.
"Shao Xia Zhao, we are new here, so there will inevitably be friction between us. I hope that we can maintain restraint in the future. If you have anything, you can come to me at any time. Whatever I can do, I will do my best." Sun Yingkui said in a solemn tone. road.
Zhao Ya smiled when he heard this.
He understood the meaning of Sun Yingkui's words.
It's just to stop him from being so impulsive like today.
If there is any conflict, he can mediate.
Zhao Ya could only smile in response.
Because he knew very well that Sun Yingkui's hard work was destined to be in vain.
After all, the two sides have different positions, and the conflict is so acute that it cannot be reconciled at all.
Without saying anything, he cupped his hands, carried the master on his back, and left with the group of warriors.
Sun Yingkui sat on his horse and watched Zhao Ya and others go away.
It wasn't until they were no longer visible that he sighed quietly.
He could also see Zhao Ya's perfunctory response to his last words, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
At this time, someone finally couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward on horseback: "Captain, why do you want to accommodate these warriors like this?"
"Otherwise, what are you going to do?" Sun Yingkui said in a cold tone without even turning his head.
"According to the opinion of my subordinates, this group of warriors has no respect for the king's laws. They openly killed Dayan's cavalry on the street. According to the law, they should be executed at Lingchi."
"Haha!" Sun Yingkui sneered and looked back at the subordinate who spoke.
"So, do you think that all these warriors should be arrested and punished to serve as a warning to others?"
"yes!"
"What did Vice General Lin tell you before entering the city?" Sun Yingkui suddenly changed the subject.
This subordinate was stunned.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to hold anyone accountable. I just want to know what Vice General Lin told you." Sun Yingkui said calmly.
The man groaned for a moment, and then said: "Vice-General Lin will tell us that after entering the city, we must use iron-blooded methods to maintain law and order in the city, especially for these warriors. If they dare to resist, there is no need to report them, they can be killed on the spot. ."
Sun Yingkui was not surprised when he heard this, he just smiled coldly.
"This is really his usual style of doing things, but do you know where the group of warriors just came from?"
"They are warriors who have just returned from outside the city. They were the ones who repelled the beast wave this time, and several of them were seriously injured. What do you think if such people were bullied or even killed by you in the street? How will the warriors in the city react?"
"You think you have good strength, but if so many warriors in the city target you, do you think you can see the sun tomorrow?"
This subordinate's face turned pale and he did not dare to speak.
"Use your brain before you act in the future, don't be used as a weapon without knowing it."
After saying these words, Sun Yingkui turned the horse's head and beat the horse away.
He wanted to report today's situation to the commander Wei Hongbin, especially to remind him not to act recklessly.
Now that the cavalry has just entered the city, people's hearts are in a state of uncertainty. At this time, a trivial matter will often set off huge waves. Therefore, you must not act casually, causing the two sides to become more antagonistic.
Just when Sun Yingkui made up his mind, he went to the county governor's office to meet Wei Hongbin.
In a teahouse only a few hundred meters away from the incident site, the three people on the hill were also discussing the matter.
"Tsk, tsk, this kid is quite interesting. He actually dared to trample a Dayan cavalry to death in the street. I guess Wei Hongbin would be very angry when he found out." The young scholar gloated.
It seems that this young scholar will be very happy whenever something is detrimental to the Wei family.
The woman was dismissive.
"He is full of murderous intent, but he is brave and foolhardy. Does he think that killing this Dayan cavalry can deter Wei Hongbin? Wrong, it will only make Wei Hongbin more jealous and wary of them."
"It's as if Wei Hongbin wouldn't hate the cavalry if he didn't trample them to death." The young scribe said, and then looked at the honest man.
"Senior Brother Wang, what do you think?"
The honest man grinned, "It's true, and I guess there is a reason why this young man did this."
"Oh, what's the reason?" the young scribe asked.
"This group of cavalry is very strange, as if they are deliberately looking for trouble, and I can see that they all have hidden swords. They are obviously prepared."
"You mean, they want to give these warriors a show of strength?" the young scribe asked.
The honest man nodded, "Yes, this is the most reasonable explanation. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why they didn't find anyone else, but instead found this group of warriors who had just entered the city. To put it bluntly, Wei Hongbin wanted to scare the monkeys and establish his prestige."
Speaking of this, a look of ridicule appeared on the honest man's face.
"I just entered the city. The first thing I did was not to appease people, but to deal with the heroes who defeated the strange beasts. I was not afraid of offending others. It shows that Wei Hongbin's reputation for being greedy and despicable is not an empty lie."
The young scribe also understood at this time.
"So this young man sensed Wei Hongbin's intentions, so he deliberately killed people in the street, just to dampen Wei Hongbin's spirit and let him know that Hecheng warriors are not vegetarians, right?"
"Well, this should be true." The honest man said.
"It's interesting. It's getting more and more interesting. When this guy was killing Japanese dolls in the forest, I thought he was no ordinary person. Now it seems that he really has two brushes." The young scribe clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Okay, don't brag here. Now that the war is over, we haven't gained a penny in benefit. What should we do next? Should we leave right now, or should we wait?" the woman said impatiently.
"Wait a little longer. I have to see what Wei Hongbin is planning to do and whether he can control Yunxiao County." The young scholar said.
"That's what I mean too. Of course, if you, Junior Sister Gu, have something to do, you can leave by yourself first," the honest man said.
"Forget it, since you two won't leave, I'll stay and watch, just to relieve my boredom."
…………
Zhao Ya carried Lu Dingtai back to Dingtai Martial Arts Hall.
As soon as they saw the two masters and apprentices coming back, all the disciples who stayed in the martial arts hall were excited.
Naturally, they knew everything about what happened outside the city.
At this time, Lu Dingtai and Zhao Ya have become heroes in their hearts.
But when they rushed to greet him, they saw the unconscious Lu Dingtai, and their hands and feet were so frightened that their hands and feet were cold.
In the minds of these people, Lu Dingtai is already a patron saint.
But now this god has fallen.
Fortunately, Zhao Ya was present. When he saw this, he couldn't help but said: "Master just fought for too long and lost his strength temporarily. He will recover after two days of rest. You should prepare a quiet room quickly."
"Oh okay okay!"
Some disciples hurriedly went down to prepare, and soon prepared to leave a quiet room.
Zhao Ya carried Lu Dingtai to the house, settled him down, and sent someone to take care of him.
After finishing all this, Zhao Ya returned to the front yard.
At this time, the warriors who came back with him not only did not leave, but instead gathered more and more people.
Shang Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming also left and returned.
A group of people gathered together, everyone's face was very solemn, and there was no joy at all after defeating the strange beast.
Wei Hongbin and his Great Yan Cavalry were like a haze, weighing on everyone's hearts, making people breathless.
Snapped.
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and a warrior smashed the armrest of the chair angrily.
"It's really infuriating. We all worked hard and risked our lives to fight to the death to repel the beast tide, but in the end we were taken advantage of by these sons of bitches. It's really unreasonable!"
The speaker was Hu Zhenshan, the owner of Zhenshan Boxing Gym.
Even though this man is nearly sixty years old, he is extremely accomplished in the mountain-suppressing fist and is the top martial artist in the city second only to Lu Ding, Tai Shang, and Tiefeng.
After hearing his words, many people looked filled with indignation.
"Mr. Hu is right. The one named Wei is just too much of a bully. It's obvious that he doesn't take us seriously."
"I think the most irritating thing is Yuan Chenfeng. This old man is so ambitious that he actually colluded with the imperial court and willingly acted as a hawk and betrayed our martial arts colleagues. It is really shameless."
"Yes, if it hadn't been for Yuan Chenfeng, this matter might not be what it is now."
"It was in vain that I tried so hard to get my nephew into the Chenfeng Martial Arts School. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing I didn't go in, otherwise our ancestors would be humiliated."
For a time, the crowd was excited, especially Yuan Chenfeng, the instigator. They wanted to eat his flesh raw to relieve their hatred.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside.
Then they saw second senior brother Shen Dao, third senior brother Miao Shaocheng, fourth senior brother Xu De and senior sister Meng Shiwen all back.
Everyone has injuries to one degree or another.
As soon as they saw them, everyone in the room stood up to greet them.
Zhao Ya is naturally no exception.
"Brother, why did you come back?"
Shen Dao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Something went wrong when handing over the city gate defense."
Zhao Ya looked serious when he heard this, "Are Wei Hongbin's people trying to get involved in the defense of the city wall?"
"Yes!" Shen Dao said, and as gentle as him, he couldn't help but sneer at this time.
"But we refused and were about to take action. A captain named Sun came to relieve the siege. Now the defenses of the four city gates, except for the south gate, are still in our hands."
"That's good!" Zhao Ya nodded.
Although the significance of this is not great, it at least shows the attitude of the warriors in the city.
That means I will never let you manipulate me.
At this moment, a man suddenly walked out from behind the crowd, then plopped down and knelt down in front of the crowd.
"Master, all my martial arts colleagues, I am guilty. I lost the city gate and allowed Wei Hongbin's cavalry to enter the city. Please punish me as you please. I, Nie Jingnian, will have no objections."
