It was not until the evening that Zhou Zhen came back from the county government office.

He was full of anger, but when he saw Zhou Xian's miserable appearance, he could never tell him again.

Zhou Xian looked at Zhou Xian with a slightly begging tone and said, "Brother, I know I did something wrong, but now I have learned a lesson, so don't scold me anymore."

Zhou Zhen sighed helplessly and went up to check Zhou Xian's injuries. He found that it was no big deal and felt much more relaxed. He sat on the chair in front of the bed and said to Zhou Xian: "This time, you killed Yang Si's two brothers one after another, which completely angered him. If he hadn't prepared the siege equipment, he would have started siege today."

Zhou Xian's face changed slightly, and he said with confusion: "Brother, didn't Yang Liuyi die? Also, brother, what you mean just now is that Yang Si led his troops to attack Wuyang City?"

"Isn't there Yang Da still there? Master Lin said that Yang Da was shot to death by you with an arrow, and then he owls his head. Isn't it?"

Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it might be Lin Bao deliberately pushing the credit on him. Although he didn't know why, he must have his own reason for doing that. He smiled and touched the back of his head and said, "I'm confused when I sleep. Brother, let's not talk about this for the time being, what's wrong with Yang Si?"

Zhou Zhen saw Zhou Xian’s expressions strange, and knew that this matter was definitely not that simple, but he did not choose to continue asking questions. He paused for a moment and said to Zhou Xian: "There are about five thousand bandits who surrounded Wuyang City. Seeing that the city was tall and the four gates were tightly defending, he retreated again. But they did not completely disperse and set up camps three miles north of the city, and more and more bandits were gathering. Through the situation seen on the city, they were cutting down trees outside the city to make siege equipment. As long as they were finished, it should be time to siege the city."

After hearing this, Zhou Xian smiled bitterly and said, "It seems like he's having a big time this time."

Zhou Zhen said angrily: "It's good that you know it yourself. This time Pan Hong was so angry that he smoked his seven orifices, saying that the four bandits of Yang were all led by you. Fortunately, he didn't dare to do anything to our family, otherwise, your trouble would be really big this time. In addition, there is another thing that tells you that Zhang Yuan was transferred from the hometown of the sect by Pan Hong."

"Why is this?" Zhou Xian frowned slightly and asked curiously.

"He didn't report anything like your departure from the city to Pan Hong. How could Pan Hong trust him anymore? But that's fine. Without his fingers, the Township Yong Group could be completely controlled by us."

Hearing this, Zhou Xian smiled faintly. He thought that this was the only good news he had heard so far.

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "This is indeed a good thing. However, when Pan Hong saw that the bandits were all in the north, he suggested to me that the village heroes would come out to help him guard the north wall. I thought it would be safer in the west, so he sent fifty people over there. But he didn't use the Five Flags Township Warriors you trained to, and only picked out fifty archers and sent them to him."

Zhou Zhen paused and continued, "Don't say, you really opened my eyes this time. I gave it to you at that time, but I just wanted to find something for you, so I was so leisurely. But I never thought that in just ten days, these rural brave men would be trained by you to be well-deserved. After a while, their combat effectiveness will definitely be no less than that of county soldiers."

Zhou Xian said modestly: "Brother, that's all Master Lin's credit, and it really has nothing to do with me."

"Haha, I have really grown a lot recently and I have learned to be modest. But there is one thing I want to remind you that Master Lin is indeed a talented person, but there are too many suspicious things about his experience. Tell me, has he told you his true identity in private?"

Zhou Xian was stunned and hurriedly said, "This is really not. I'm a little curious, but he has always been secretive and is unwilling to say more about it, so I didn't ask more."

Zhou Zhen waved his hand and said, "If you don't know, forget it, don't ask more about this in the future. Sometimes, it's better to know less."

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and nodded silently.

Zhou Zhen slowly stood up and said to Zhou Xian: "Then let's do it first! You have a good rest, I'll go back too."

Zhou Xian called Zhou Zhen and said, "Brother, Xiao Tai..."

Zhou Zhen sighed and said, "Xiao Xian, you two went out privately without hiding it from me. To be honest, I am indeed very angry, but I don't blame you. After all, young men should have ambition for youth, and you have indeed let me see it. But next, Wuyang City may experience a tough battle. As a father, I love my child deeply and I don't want him to take risks. Only by locking him up can I protect his vigor. I hope you can understand my selfishness."

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and nodded gently.

Zhou Zhen patted his shoulder and continued, "Also, the Wanda you brought back was very shocked, so I found him an errand in the account."

In the evening, Zhou Xian drank some chicken soup and went to bed. But shortly after he lay down, he heard an urgent knock on the door. It was Zhou Qian who came back from the village sang group to see him.

Zhou Xian put on a thin coat and leaned against the bed railing and listened to him telling about the things in the city.

Yang Si led the bandits to arrive, which caused panic in the city. The gates on the four sides were closed again, and all the people in the city were forbidden to enter and exit, and the initial chaos gradually subsided. There were soldiers on the walls on the four sides, and they were on guard, waiting for the bandits to attack.

Zhou Xian heard Zhou Qian say it and smiled faintly, "I think you are looking forward to this battle. By the way, why didn't the master come back with you?"

Zhou Qian said: "The eldest son gave the defense of the west wall completely to the master. At this moment, the Township Braves were under his command. Because he had to deal with many things, he did not come back. But he asked me to tell you, if you recover from the injury, you should go back quickly. He hasn't settled the score with you yet?"

Zhou Xian smiled bitterly. He knew that what Lin Bao was talking about was that he did not retreat in time according to his orders, and eventually put himself in trouble. "You go back and tell the master that I will rest for two days. When I can move, I will go back to my hometown to join the army."

Zhou Qian smiled and continued, "Pan Hong recruited a thousand young and strong people from the city, and the village sang group also allocated more than 100 people. They brought a lot of rolling stones and squats, and there should be no problem in defending Wuyang City at that time. The master said that the bandits were all a group of mobs, and the early attack might be very fierce. But once the attack was frustrated, it would be easy to deal with it next."

Zhou Xian nodded and smiled faintly: "Hope! Anyway, the remaining food for the bandits should not be too much. I think they will scatter in a long time."

Zhou Gan raised his thumbs up and praised, "It's better for your fire, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble then. Second Young Master, do you know? Last time outside the city, after the master drove away the bandits, our village chariot team also got more than a dozen horses. The master wanted to use them to form a cavalry team and said that after you get it done, go back quickly."
