chapter 42

After tricking the gate of the outer city, Zhang Chi led his army into the city. The first thing he had to do was to see if Miss Wang's body was hanging in front of Zhuque Gate.

Zhang Chi and others entered the city from the north gate, but Zhuque Gate was in the south of the city.

The Jiankang city in the Jin Dynasty continued the architectural specifications of the Three Kingdoms Eastern Wu, and the palace city was in the center of the city. In ancient times, it was called Taicheng. From Taicheng to the south, it was Xuanyang Gate, and then it was Zhuque Gate five miles later. Therefore, if Zhang Chi and others wanted to go to the Zhuque Gate in the south of the city, they needed to bypass the palace city from the side.

The north of Jiankang City is Zhongshan, where Qingxi flows out from, and then flows through Jiankang City. After entering the outer city from the north gate, Zhang Chi and others came south from the east side of Taicheng along Qingxi.

Wuyi Lane is near Zhuque Gate. From the east of the city to the south, it is mostly royal family living there. At this time, the Five Dok Rice Road has just entered Jiankang City. Never have seen such a prosperous scene as the capital? As soon as they entered the city, the soldiers robbed everywhere, and were in a chaotic scene.

Zhang Chi and others followed Qingxi and came to Jianchun Gate on the east side of the palace. At this time, a team of about a thousand people headed straight for Jianchun Gate from the east.

The person who led the team on horseback was not a general, but a person dressed as a Taoist priest.

Zhang Chi thought this man was a Taoist priest, not because he was wearing a Taoist uniform, but because he was wearing a Taoist crown on his head, but looking at his body, he was wearing silk and satin that he had stolen from somewhere.

The robe was wide, but the Taoist priest had a very thin figure, so although the robe was beautiful, it was worn on him as if he was wearing a sack.

Looking at the soldiers who followed, they all had no armor or flags, and had no military discipline. They were not holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, but valuable objects snatched from the Great Mansion in the east of the city.

The Taoist priest rode on the horse and shouted happily: "Don't be too happy too early, when we arrive at the emperor's house, you will see what gold and silver are like!"

"Is it because the emperor's family is richer than here?" asked a man following the horse.

"That's natural," said the Taoist priest on the horse. "Seeing that you have no knowledge, you will be at the emperor's house later. Don't open your eyes too wide so as not to be blinded by gold and silver. You should throw away all the broken copper and iron you have taken now, so that you will not encounter good things but will not be able to rob them."

Everyone laughed and was in great interest when they heard this, but they couldn't bear to throw away the things in their hands. In fact, these people were all fools, who were bewitched and rebelled by the Five Doks of Rice, so how could they know what was expensive? They just picked up some good-looking things and snatched them. Anyway, throwing them away now is empty-handed. It's better to wait for a while to meet something better and then throw away the things in their hands now.

The Taoist priest on the horse saw that these soldiers could not bear to abandon the broken copper and iron they snatched from their hands, and was disdainful in his heart, "It turns out that they are authentic country bumpkins, and they have never seen the world." The Taoist priest was still thinking in his heart, so he met Zhang Chi's team at the corner of the street.

When the two teams meet, one must retreat and let the other go first. The Taoist priest looked up and saw Zhang Chi, who was riding a white horse, and asked arrogantly: "Where are you soldiers?"

No wonder he was surprised that the soldiers of the Xie family in the city had already been killed. In this way, the soldiers who had military discipline and did not rob were only the imperial guards under General Canghuai, but they had already attacked Taicheng.

After hearing the Taoist priest's question, Zhang Chi had to perfunctorily and respond casually: "We are the new army under General Canghuai, and we are ordered to patrol here."

"Nonsense!" the Taoist priest shouted: "All the soldiers under General Canghuai have already gone to attack Taicheng. Even so, I still can't capture it for a long time, so I asked me to go and help. Since you are the commander of General Canghuai, why are there nothing to do here?"

Zhang Chi was anxious to go to Zhuque Gate, unwilling to talk to him, and said, "My mission is a major military event, how can I tell you that you can tell me? Please make your soldiers give way quickly and don't delay my major event."

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Don't think I don't know. You must be afraid of going to Taicheng to fight, and knowing that the east of the city is rich, so they privately refuse to listen to the orders and become deserters, and they want to come here to make a fortune, right?"

Zhang Chi was originally anxious to go to Zhuque Gate to see what was going on, but he was slapping around here and lost his patience long ago and asked, "Are you giving way or not?"

"You dare to threaten me?" The Taoist priest also said furiously: "Even if you General Canghuai see me, you must be respectful and polite. You little flat hair (a word in dialect) dare to shout at me?"

Zhang Chi was so reluctant, but Dao Xuan was young and energetic, but he could no longer bear it. He picked up the spear in his hand and swung it over the Taoist priest's face. He swung it straight on the Taoist priest's face with a crisp "pop" sound, and even broke the Taoist priest's nose. By the way, the Taoist priest fell off his horse with a "pop".

Of course, Daoxuan knew that using a spear to kill people can take their lives directly, but sometimes when facing such a villain, he didn't feel relieved if he killed him. Instead, he swung it on his face so happily, and felt more relieved.

Daoxuan made a sudden move, and the soldiers following the Taoist priest were stunned. Zhang Chi could not wait any longer and ordered: "Kill them neatly, don't waste time, and then we go straight to the Zhuque Gate."

After hearing Zhang Chi's order, Du Ximing could not wait, so he rode his horse and rushed forward, and the soldiers rushed forward.

Most of the soldiers and generals in the Five Doks of Rice Road have not been trained and are the best in the world to rob, but if they say that they are far from fighting, and the number of people is only about a thousand, how can they resist it? In fact, they never thought about resisting it. When they saw the other party rushing, they would not wait to get close to each other, without saying a word, and immediately scattered birds and beasts.

Zhang Chi felt helpless when he looked at these scattered Five Dogs of Rice Taoist people. Most of the peasant uprisings in history were like this. Although the momentum was huge, they were inevitably destroyed in the end, just like the Yellow Turban Uprising of Taiping Road initiated by Zhang Jiao in the late Han Dynasty.

Seeing the five dou of rice paths disintegrated, Zhang Chi did not chase after him, but led everyone for a moment without hesitation, and came all the way to the Zhuque Gate.

Inside the Zhuque Gate is the government office. In the past, the Zhuque Gate was full of tall horses and beautiful cars. However, the Zhuque Gate was very different from the past and was extremely desolate. Miss Wang's body was hung high above the city tower, and there was no such thing as before. There were no people coming and going under the city gate. There was only one person lying on the ground and crying in front of the city gate.

This person is nothing else, but the young master Pei of Huainan who is big-eared and fat, and is infatuated with Miss Wang.

"Young Master, the mud-legged rebelled, and the soldiers in Jiankang City are in chaos. You are crying here. If you want to cry in an upset way, don't catch them and chop them up?" Pei Fu said cautiously behind Mr. Pei.

Pei Lu was also behind Mr. Pei, but at this time, seeing the many soldiers and generals on the city tower holding swords and guns, Zhan Zhan was already scared and panicked, sweating like a slurry. He just pulled Mr. Pei's clothes and wanted to persuade Mr. Pei, but he couldn't even say a word.

But Mr. Pei ignored it completely, but couldn't stop crying and said sobbing: "Miss Wang and I are in love, but who would have thought that Miss Wang would take the lead. What's the point of living? It would be better for them to cut me down too. I'm better than Miss Wang to be a pair of life and death couples!"

Mr. Pei is the best in the world in deceiving himself, but his infatuation with Miss Wang is true. Now that Wu Dou Mi Dao has attacked Jiankang and killed Miss Wang to establish his authority, who dares to cry to Miss Wang at the city gate guarded by Wu Dou Mi Dao?

Mr. Pei said this so much that Pei Fu and Pei Lu was so scared that he tried hard to persuade Mr. Pei back and found a safe place to hide first. But unexpectedly, the more the two of them persuaded Mr. Pei, the more they cried, the more they cried, and finally they cried so hard that their voices became hoarse. While crying, they couldn't stop hammering the ground with their hands, and actually beat their flesh fists to the blood.

Zhang Chi and others walked all the way and finally arrived at the Health City. Du Ximing looked at the corpse hanging high on the city tower from afar. Although he was not sure that it was Miss Wang's body, he couldn't help but feel ache in his chest and shouted: "Miss!" He rushed up first. When he got down the city tower, he turned over and dismounted, and rushed straight to the city tower.

Zhang Chi was worried that Du Ximing was too sad, so he would inevitably suffer a mistake when he rushed forward, so he hurriedly shouted: "Come with Brother Du to rush up to the city tower to see what happened!"

The city tower was filled with foolish people who were deceived by five dou of rice. The time to take farm tools was much easier than to use swords and guns, let alone killing the enemy. It was not the opponent of this angry army. Du Ximing took the lead and rushed to the city tower. Before he could kill the scattered guards, Du Ximing snatched forward. When he got close to him, he looked at the face of the hanging corpse. He actually thought it was Miss Wang!

Du Ximing stood there in a moment, even a five-dou Midao soldier beside him slashed his sword.

This sword hit Du Ximing's shoulder, and the blade was sharpened into the bone. What it made was not the "puff" sound when the sword and gun entered the flesh, but a crisp "clang" sound. This sword hit the bone, and there was a sound of gold and jade.

The soldiers of Wu Dou Mi Dao cut down with one knife, but Du Ximing was unaware of it and did not hurt. The foolish people of Wu Dou Mi Dao were the most superstitious. If the knife did not hurt, would it be that the gods could not succeed, and they were so scared that they dared to cut the second knife again.

Du Ximing's eyes were filled with tears, and after a while, he recovered from his senses. He lost his spear and grabbed the soldier's soldier next to him, and punched him one after another in the face. He waved fifty or sixty punches in one breath and never gave up, and hit the soldier's nose flat and his face was covered in blood.

On the contrary, Zhang Chi looked calm. He was such a person. The more he was sad, the calmer he looked on his appearance. Seeing the five dou of rice roads killing the defenders, everyone put down Miss Wang's body, Mr. Pei sobbed and walked up to Zhang Chi, "Young Master Zhang, you have so many soldiers and generals. If you can avenge Miss Wang today, no matter whether it is in the water or in the fire in the future, as long as you give me an order, I, Pei Juncai, will never frown."
