Chapter 155 Guess whether it is an odd or even number? Before leaving Luoyang, Li Xingyun planned to give Zhong Xiaokui one last push so that no one could shake Zhong Xiaokui's position in Luoyang. With the Xuanming Sect plus the Tian'an Army, and the cooperation of the Three Thousand Courts and Shi Yao in the dark, Li Xingyun would definitely take over the city of Luoyang!Sizzle, sizzle... The soldiers of the Tian'an Army harvested heads one by one. Feng Dao and his brothers gasped and stared at the scene. Is this the regular army of Daliang? The strength is so terrifying. Although they have the advantage of overwhelming numbers, the equipment and combat awareness of the opponent are obviously not comparable to these bandits. Although Huang Chao's personal guards under Wu Lie and others are powerful, their numbers are too small to make any difference, let alone influence the overall situation. Moreover, considering the strength of that adult... even if another thousand Huang Chao troops were sent, they might not be able to change the situation of the battle. Feng Dao looked at the young man wearing a bamboo hat and a mask in the field. With one move, he grabbed Wu Lie's mace and punched him, leaving Wu Lie without any chance to fight back. Feng Dao felt that this man's strength was unfathomable! "You, bring your people and come here." Li Xingyun raised his chin in the direction of Feng Dao, who immediately stood up quickly and stepped forward, bowed and said, "I, Feng Dao, greet the Marshal." "Stand up and talk." Li Xingyun looked at Feng Dao and said. Feng Dao stood up and avoided Li Xingyun's gaze a little. He always felt that this young man had an intimidating aura, and he felt a lot of pressure just standing in front of him. "Gather your men. If you want to stay, you can stay in our army. If you want to leave, I will give them some money to go home. You are fully responsible for this matter." After Li Xingyun finished speaking, Feng Dao was also surprised and said, "Yes, Marshal, I will do it right away." Feng Dao realized that this gentleman was testing his leadership ability. If he could settle these brothers, he might be able to get a position in the army in the future. ……
Black Cloud Village. Qin Meng and Quinn led their troops to crush the remaining Huang Chao troops who had held back. When they saw the fresh corpses in the village, their faces changed at the same time. Although they had seen life and death, they had not seen such a disgusting and terrifying scene very often. Child, on that square eight-immortals table was the child’s corpse! "These beasts!" Quinn's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he shouted at his Tian'an Army subordinates, "Skin those beasts who surrendered just now!" "Yes!" The soldiers of the Tian'an Army, who had long been unable to suppress their anger, immediately drew out their daggers and rushed towards the surrendering remnants of Huang Chao's army. Not long after, shrill screams rang out one after another from the razed village. "Quinn, give me a knife." Qin Meng's voice suddenly sounded from a corner. Quinn turned his head to look at Qin Meng and found that one of his hands was already on the chain that locked the dungeon door. Seeing this, Quinn threw the Tang Hengdao at his waist to Qin Meng. Qin Meng used his internal strength, gathered energy around his body, and slashed with the knife. Click! The chain locking the dungeon door broke with a sound, and Qin Meng immediately used both hands to forcefully open the dungeon door to both sides. Kui Yin, who had rushed over, looked into the depths of the dungeon with Qin Meng at this time, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared in the eyes of both of them. It was a child, a living child! "Someone come! Bring some dry food and water!" Quinn shouted at the Tian'an Army behind him. The children in the dungeon were starving, and the beast Wu Lie didn't even give them a bite of food! "No, don't eat us..." Some older children still had the strength to speak, but they just looked at Quinn and others in fear. It was obvious that they didn't believe that anyone would come to save them in today's world. "It's okay, you guys are okay..." Quinn couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this scene. Is this the chaotic world after the fall of the Tang Dynasty? Such a world should have ended long ago! Looking at the children wolfing down some dry food, Quinn and Qin Meng looked at each other and nodded at the same time, planning to pay special attention to whether there were any trapped children when they cleaned out the bandit camp next time. "Who are you?" The child who spoke in front looked at Quinn, Qin Meng and others with some curiosity. He just thought that the armor they were wearing was so majestic... "We?" Quinn and Qin Meng looked at each other and said at the same time: "We are the army of the Tang Dynasty!" "Tang Dynasty?" All the children stopped swallowing and looked at them blankly. …… Luoyang City! Creak, creak... The city gates were wide open, and teams of Tian'an soldiers marched in. Zhong Xiaokui stood at the front on horseback. The new recruits held their heads high at this moment. They had wiped out the bandits and eliminated the harm, so their morale was naturally high. "Today, the Tian'an Army killed a total of 7,500 bandits!" "Today, the Tian'an Army killed a total of 7,500 bandits!" …… With loud shouts, the Tian'an Army marched through Luoyang City in an orderly manner. People stopped to watch. Someone recognized the heads of Wu Lie and the other two in the crowd and immediately exclaimed in surprise. Hu San, who was hiding in the crowd, felt relieved when he saw Liu Song's head. There were many of his acquaintances among the heads. Now that they were all dead, no one would bother him. At the same time, Hu San was secretly shocked. He had guessed that this group of people were very powerful. He did not expect that they were the newly trained army of Daliang. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this newly trained army seemed to be not bad. They were able to wipe out the bandits who had been entrenched around Luoyang for decades in one fell swoop. The strength was already impressive. At least it could be regarded as an army.
Zhu Youzhen, who had been waiting on the top of the palace, was enjoying the nectar while turning his head to look at the slowly approaching Tian'an Army. An elite member of the Xuanming Sect bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhong Kui led the Tian'an Army to wipe out the bandits around Luoyang in one day, killing a total of 7,500 enemies, including masters of the Great Star rank. It can be said to be a great victory!" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen stood up with an excited look on his face and said, "Good! Not bad, the army has achieved such results after just training. I was right about Zhong Kui. Pass on my decree and appoint Zhong Kui as the leader of the imperial guards and the General of the Left God!" Shi Yao smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a man of insight. The talent he promoted has such ability. It seems that it will be just a matter of time before he can take over the military power and unify the country!" Flattery never gets worn out, especially since the person who said that was Shi Yao, the most favored person in front of Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen laughed loudly upon hearing that and stretched out his hand to hug Shi Yao's shoulders, but Shi Yao slightly avoided him. He was not embarrassed at all, as if he was used to Shi Yao's style. He laughed and said, "It's a great day today. Come on, bring two dog officials up to play!" Not long after Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, two officials in shackles were brought up. This person was also one of the corrupt officials in the Luoyang corruption case. Zhu Youzhen looked at this person and laughed, "Guess, the two of you, is the number of people killed by the Tian'an Army today an even number or an odd number?" The two men had just been brought here from the Ministry of Works. They had no idea about the Tian'an Army or the killings. They could only guess hesitantly, "Your Majesty, it's an odd number." "Hey, you guessed wrong! Kill!" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and the guard behind him stabbed the official in the back without mercy. Another person immediately shouted, "It's an even number, it's an even number!" "Hehe, you guessed wrong too! If we kill him, won't it be an odd number?" Zhu Youzhen laughed and made a gesture of wiping his neck. Immediately, the official was killed by a single knife by the palace guards behind him. Zhu Youzhen looked at the two bodies lying on the ground, his smile gradually faded, his eyes became cold and ruthless, "Damn bastards, you dared to embezzle my money, you must be tired of living, all the families of these two people are thrown into the sky prison, the men must be castrated, and the women are sent to the palace to serve as maids!"
