Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 58 The script is wrong (55)

Looking at the tall and solid blue brick city wall in front of them, Li Xiancheng and his party felt relieved. They felt that the pressure on their heads and others, as if the pressure of Mount Tai, disappeared in an instant.

Li Xiancheng pulled a smile that was uglier than bitter and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Back, back, I'm finally back!"

"When you come back... you'll be safe!"

After saying this, he fell from the horse due to exhaustion.

However, the guards around him were too tired to react. A group of people watched helplessly as Li Xian Cheng fell from his horse.

He fell to the ground and fainted.

Li Xiancheng's last thought before he fainted was, Damn it, the script is wrong, why is no one picking me up?
What a blind eye!
He originally wanted to fake a faint to exonerate himself, but unexpectedly, the fake faint turned into a real faint.

Or the kind that makes you faint after falling...

It hurts so much!
But it's her fault for not ventilating it with the others in advance.

If he was ventilated in advance, someone would definitely pick him up, and he would not really fall off the horse.

After Li Xian Cheng fainted from the fall, everyone finally realized what he was doing and stepped forward to check.

"County Prime Minister, County Prime Minister?"

"The county magistrate has fainted. Oh no, the county magistrate has fainted."

"Quickly, open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly!"

"..."

A group of people started shouting at the door.

Not long after, a head poked out of the city gate.

A sleepy head.

"Who? Who?"

"Why make a noise? Why make a noise? The city gate is an important place and no idlers are allowed to enter, don't you know?"

"You have to wait until dawn every day for the city gate to open. Just wait. If you dare to make any noise outside the city gate again, I will shoot you to death with an arrow."

Being disturbed from his dream, Ji Bo was always in a irritable mood, so he didn't care who was calling the door outside the city and just cursed.

The people outside the city were stunned by Ji Bochang's scolding, but soon some people started to scold him.

"The bastards on the city are staring at you like dogs, who are they under the city?"

"The county magistrate is here, why don't you open the city quickly?"

"You dare to be rude to the county magistrate. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"..."

Ji Bo often listened to the yelling and scolding from the city, his expression paused, and he felt a little unsure.

Because, among the cries below the city, some of them did sound very familiar.

Like the county magistrate's personal entourage.

But when he squinted his eyes and looked down at the city, all he could see was a blur of black shadows, and he couldn't see faces at all.

Therefore, now his heart was beating, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

At this moment, a familiar call suddenly sounded from below the city.

"Bo Chang? Is that Bo Chang in the city? I am your Brother Jie!"

Li Jie stood at the gate of the city, raised his head vigorously, and asked tentatively.

Because the sounds in the city sounded familiar to him, and they sounded like his childhood friend Ji Bochang.

When Ji Bochang heard this, the expression on his face became more and more suspicious, because he recognized Li Jie's identity from the voice.

He stuck his head out and asked.

"Brother Jie? Didn't you follow the county magistrate out of the city to defeat the thieves? Why are you back?"

Li Jie sighed and explained helplessly.

"Our army was defeated by the thieves, and almost the entire army was wiped out."

"Brothers, there are heavy casualties. Bo Chang, stop nagging and open the city gate quickly. Someone on our side is injured and is waiting to go into the city to find a doctor for help." Ji Bo often saw this and judged that he was the one who left the city. After throwing it away, he no longer hesitated, ran all the way down the city wall, led people to open the city gate, and welcomed Li Xiancheng and his party into the city.

Ji Bochang was also a little flustered when he saw Prime Minister Li and his entourage in a hurry, some seeking medical attention and others going to the county government office.

Thinking about the news that Li Jie just said about the defeat of the Ping thief, he subconsciously walked towards his home.

He planned to notify his family and leave the city overnight to avoid the military disaster while Wuxuan County was still safe.

Because he didn't know whether the thieves would attack the county again after defeating the army of thieves.

Ji Bochang didn't know that the Ming army had no plans to attack the county for the time being. In his eyes, Wuxuan County was now the most dangerous place.

It would be better for his family to leave the city and take refuge as soon as possible.

Obviously, he was not the only one who thought so. When Ji Bochang left for home, his men also dispersed and headed towards their home.

He was also preparing to send a message to his family so that they could avoid the disaster in advance.

Then, the news couldn’t be kept secret.

The news that the army of thieves sent out from the county returned in a great defeat and that almost the entire army was annihilated quickly spread throughout Wuxuan County as if it had grown wings.

Wuxuan County, which was originally peaceful and peaceful, soon became riotous, and people everywhere were in panic.

……

County government office, backyard.

Fang Kun was hugging his concubine and sleeping soundly.

Sandalwood is burned in the bedroom, which has the effect of aiding sleep and repelling insects.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, waking up Fang Kunzheng from his sleep.

Fang Kunzheng opened his eyes, pulled out his numb arms from under his concubine's head, stroked his forehead with one hand, and asked.

"Why are you making so much noise in the middle of the night? Don't you know I'm a light sleeper?"

"Who is making noise outside? Someone, please give him to me and beat him out."

Fang Kunzheng had been unable to sleep at night because of begging for thieves, and he had some insomnia.

Not long after he finally fell asleep, he was woken up again. How could he be in a good mood?

With a creak, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a maid walked in and spoke.

"Old...Master, something is wrong."

"The servants seemed to be shouting from outside that Li County Cheng Ping's thieves were defeated and returned. The bandit army sent troops to pursue Li County Cheng. Now they have followed Li County Cheng into Wuxuan County and are heading towards the county government."

When Fang Kun heard this, the expression on his face obviously froze.

Sweat began to form on his shiny forehead.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a feeling of impending disaster came to his mind.

At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded outside. Fang Kunzheng was horrified, thinking that the thieves had sent people to arrest him after entering the city.

Fang Kunzheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Master Luo's voice.

"Proprietor, something happened!"

"Li County Prime Minister Li led his troops to defeat the thieves and was defeated. He returned with a great defeat. Now he is waiting to see you in the lobby of the county government office."

Fang Kunzheng heard this and asked with expectation in his voice.

"Then... what about the traitor soldiers? Where are the traitor soldiers now? Have they entered the city?"

When Master Luo heard this, he asked with astonishment in his voice.

"Why did the proprietor say this? Although the army of thieves led by Prime Minister Li County was defeated, the thieves suffered heavy casualties and were unable to make any further progress. We, Wuxuan County, are still as stable as Mount Tai."

"No need to worry, proprietor!"

Of course, Master Luo heard from Li Xiancheng that the Ming army also suffered heavy losses.

If I can figure it out, I will add another chapter.
