Chapter 7 Li Daitao is stiff
When Shao Quanzhong rode back to the county government office, it was already dawn.

Wenxiu and her mother were so worried that they didn't sleep the whole night. They didn't know what had happened to their backbone and why he hadn't returned for so long after going out of the city to get something.

However, Zhang Ershazi had absolute trust in his brother. He held the iron bar and slept against the door, snoring loudly. He had dozens of big bites on his body but he couldn't wake up.

Shao Quanzhong was so tired that he staggered. He ate a few mouthfuls of rice and woke Zhang Siwen up. "Now that the government officials have fled, the local hooligans will soon take advantage of the situation to cause chaos and rob people. We must set off as soon as possible."

Zhang Siwen harnessed the three-donkey-pulled sedan and sat in the driver's seat. Wenxiu and her daughter got in.

Contrary to the three people's expectations, Shao Quanzhong did not ride the horse. He tied the reins to the back of the car, let the horse, which was tired from half a night, follow it, and sat in the co-pilot seat.

Zhang Ershazi whipped the horse whip, and as the donkey cart drove out of the county government office, Shao Quanzhong leaned his head against the canopy and fell asleep.

Zhang Siwen slowed down the car, fearing that his brother would fall out of the car. The car left the city from the west gate, and according to Shao Quanzhong's previous instructions, it was planned to go to Changping and then turn south to bypass the dangerous capital.

The donkey cart went out of the west gate, and behind it, a senior eunuch and a group of imperial guards entered Shunyi City from the east gate.

Concubine Yi gave birth to the emperor's only prince and was very favored in the palace.

With the emperor's connivance, she has begun to have a say in the court, and what she orders must be done as a priority.

Fast horses were searching for people everywhere in the city, and the constables who were hiding at home or running back to their hometowns in the countryside were all struck by disaster.

Liutou, Tiantou and other hereditary constables never understood until their death that they were just small constables who had deserted their posts during a time of chaos, and how such a small mistake could have caused the imperial guards to come and behead them.

Shao Quanzhong, who was sleeping soundly in the donkey cart, had no idea what kind of ruthless person the "palace maid" with whom he had a night of pleasure was.

Imperial Concubine Yi wanted to silence him, but he ran away in a hurry to protect his master and unexpectedly got a chance to survive.

His colleagues in recent years have been unlucky and have been completely destroyed by him.

Just as the guards finished killing the man and left, two fast horses entered the east city gate again.

On the two horses, one is very heroic and wears the Zhenwu sword on his waist. He is Tian Xing, a righteous man in the martial arts world and the "Wudang Sword Immortal". Behind him is Hai Qing, a young eunuch from the Prince Su's Mansion and the second-generation successor of Baguaquan.

Both of them are powerful and prestigious figures with high official status.

What is the bearded bandit Skywalker, the White Lotus remnant who caused trouble last night? We don't know him.

The two looked worried. Just now, they didn't find anyone in Shao Quanzhong's dilapidated house by the Chaobai River, and were about to go to the county government office to see if it was so chaotic, but Shao Quanzhong still came to work with a stubborn heart.

The two men dismounted in front of the county government office, strode in, and heard shouting from the back house.

Hai Qing kicked open the door to the back house, and saw a few thugs carrying Madam Wen's Ning-style bed and moving it out.

All the valuables were taken away by Wenxiu and her mother, so the thugs who came to take advantage of the chaos could only take the big items.

When the thugs saw the two men, they fled in all directions.

Don't be fooled by their large numbers. These two men walk like dragons and tigers, look very majestic and powerful. You can tell at first glance that they are experts. They are also carrying weapons. Can we afford to offend them?

Hai Qing grabbed a slow runner and asked, "Where are all the constables in the county government?"

"Sir, my lord, the constables were all executed by the imperial guards. I heard that it was because the constables left their posts without permission that the emperor's carriage was robbed in Shunyi last night—"

Hai Qing was stunned. Huh? They are all dead?
The imperial guards were also seriously injured last night. They ignored the emperor and had the time to go to Shunyi to cause trouble for the constables? Why does this sound so strange?
These two people know best what happened to the "robbers" last night. Could a dozen detectives from Shunyi stop them?

"Master Tian, ​​you said Shao Quanzhong is dead, isn't that the end of him?"

The thug next to him interrupted, "Shao Quanzhong, he's not dead.

The foreigners had reached Tongzhou, and Master Wen had died. The city was in chaos. I went out early to check on the situation and saw him sitting in a large cart, escorting Magistrate Wen's family as they headed west.

Tian Xing remained calm, "I knew that he was a man with a destiny, how could he die at the hands of a villain?

Let's go, let's catch up with him." The thug watched the two turn around and walk out, with a question mark in his head.

These two gentlemen were dressed in luxurious clothes and had a dignified bearing. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

Shao Quanzhong was born a beggar. He first worked as a jailer and then as a constable in Shunyi City.

I've been poor for years, and I haven't achieved anything great. How come I suddenly have a destiny and someone is looking for me? This world is crazy.

The two men's horses were much faster than the donkey cart. In more than an hour, they ran forty miles west and arrived at Xiaotangshan.

The news here was delayed, and we didn't know yet that the foreigners had come to Beijing. The tea shops on the streets of the town were still open.

From a distance, we saw a covered carriage pulled by three donkeys parked next to the teahouse. It should be Shao Quanzhong and his four companions who were stopping here for lunch.

"Shall we go and seek refuge now?"

Tian Xing waved his hand, "Get off the horse and follow quietly behind.

We have to have a letter of surrender to prove that we are valuable.

Now bandits are rising up all over the country, and the capital is about to be in chaos.

It would be very difficult for Mr. Shao to escort the donkey cart all the way to Taizhou, the hometown of County Magistrate Wen.

When he is in trouble, we can help him, and then he will value us more."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion in the town.

"Oh no! Run! The monk king was defeated and his soldiers are fleeing!"

To the common people, the defeated soldiers were more terrifying than bandits. They all ran back home and closed their doors and windows, and the streets became quiet in an instant.

There was a sound of horse hooves, and four Mongolian soldiers with longbows on their backs and scimitars in their hands rode along the long street from the west.

Seeing the common people fleeing in all directions, the Mongolian soldiers laughed loudly towards the sky, feeling very majestic and powerful.

There were two women sitting in the teahouse in front, and a covered wagon was parked next to them. The Mongolian soldiers' eyes lit up immediately - a fair-skinned woman from a wealthy family!

The four of them had the same idea and accelerated at the same time, heading straight for Wenxiu and her daughter who were at a loss.

Shao Quanzhong suddenly stood up, "Siwen, you protect them and their mother, I will take care of these bastards!"

Shao Quanzhong, holding an oxtail knife in his hand, stood with his back straight. His thin figure stood at the center of the road, staring closely at the four Khorchin Mongolian fleeing soldiers who were rushing towards him.

Mrs. Wen was terrified. Shao Quanzhong was loyal, but could he defeat four cavalrymen by himself?

Why didn't Zhang the idiot go up to help? It looked like even if two of them went together, it wouldn't be much of a success.

Tian Xing saw this scene from a distance and shouted "Oh no!" He drew his sword and rushed forward, with Hai Qing following closely behind him.

Tian Xing knew that Master Shao’s martial arts skills were average, but he was very loyal and brave. How could he win against four authentic Mongolian cavalrymen alone?

Mr. Shao is good at foreseeing the future, but he is not a martial artist, so why is he fighting so hard? If he dies here, all his plans will be in vain.

However, Tian Xing was a little far away and felt that it was too late to rescue Master Shao, and he was extremely anxious.

When the Mongolian soldiers saw this, they saw someone blocking their way!

Wow, the yamen runners in Changping are so bold, they dare to stop the general?

The four Mongolian soldiers didn't care. They raised their scimitars while running and stared at Shao Quanzhong, who was short and thin in the middle of the road, with grim smiles on their faces.
