Rong Zheng followed the people from Zhenyuan Escort Agency on their long journey home. When they arrived in Jingjia Prefecture, they went to Zhenyuan Escort Agency in the prefecture to hand over their business before leaving to go home.
Rong Zheng rubbed his hands together, excitedly saying, "Shengbao, Shengbao, your second brother is back! Your second brother brought you lots of delicious food. Wait for your second brother to come home! Your second brother doesn't want anyone else, he just wants you!"
Thinking of Rong Sheng, Rong Zheng's tough-guy face broke into a simple, honest smile, making him look like a fool at first glance.
Yuwen Yuanjing frowned when he saw Rong Zheng's simple-minded appearance: "What kind of taste does Your Highness have? You actually introduced such a fool to the army? Are you sure he can become your right-hand man and help Your Highness conquer the Qinghao Kingdom?"
"General Yuwen, Rong Zheng may be a bit eccentric, but his martial arts skills are extremely high. All of our secret guards combined are no match for him! If you don't believe me, General Yuwen, you can try!"
Yuwen Yuanjing: "Of course we have to try. How can we know if someone is capable of taking on a great responsibility if we don't try them!"
So that evening, on his way back to Wenhong County in a carriage, Rong Zheng was eager to get home because the moonlight was so bright and the road was so clear.
Seeing Rong Zheng's excited expression, Yuwen Yuanjing pursed his lips, immediately covered his face with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, and then blocked Rong Zheng's path in a flash.
Rong Zheng hadn't expected to run into Cheng Yaojin halfway through the journey, which startled him so much that he quickly grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Rong Zheng stared intently at Yuwen Yuanjing with his dark eyes. This man was tall and imposing, as if he had experienced the trials of thousands of troops, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
Yuwen Yuanjing coldly curled his lips: "This tree was planted by me, this road was opened by me! If you want to pass, leave your toll!"
Rong Zheng: "...Bandits?" Rong Sheng immediately perked up. He had encountered several bandit groups on the way while escorting the goods, but he successfully drove them away and sent them to prison thanks to the martial arts manual that Sheng Bao had given him. This made him famous, and many bandits were afraid to stop him. If it weren't for the martial arts manual that Sheng Bao had given him, which greatly improved his martial arts skills, he wouldn't have been able to escort the goods so smoothly.
The return trip went very smoothly, but I never expected that just as I was about to get home, I would encounter a blind bandit. He was all alone, and he was really brave!
When Yuwen Yuanjing heard the word "bandit," his lips twitched. "If your martial arts are really good, then being a bandit is fine. But if your martial arts are too bad, then I'm very sorry, this general will kill you severely!"
"Leave the toll!" Yuwen Yuanjing was not one for idle talk and did not want to waste words with Rong Zheng, so he made a swift and decisive move.
Rong Zheng soared into the air, fearlessly heading towards Yuwen Yuanjing.
In an instant, the scene became extremely intense. Both Yuwen Yuanjing and Rong Zheng used all their martial arts skills to defeat each other. They knew from the first exchange of blows that the other was a powerful and formidable opponent. As a result, the two became increasingly fierce, causing sand and stones to fly and the earth to shake.
"Young man, your martial arts are quite good! I really underestimated you!" Yuwen Yuanjing said. No wonder Prince Yi took a liking to him; it turns out this man really has real skills!
Rong Zheng scoffed, "Of course, do you think everyone is as weak as you?" At this moment, Rong Zheng thanked Rong Sheng again. If it weren't for Rong Sheng, how could he have become so powerful?
The guards who caught up were shocked to see Yuwen Yuanjing and Rong Zheng fighting so fiercely. "Rong Zheng's martial arts have improved again. I'm afraid even our prince is no match for Rong Zheng!"
"The prince's martial arts are very strong. If Rong Zheng wants to defeat our prince, he still needs to practice more! But the prince will not fight Rong Zheng!"
"General Yuwen is already exhausted and is about to be defeated!"
"Fortunately, General Yuwen's supporters aren't here, otherwise it would be troublesome!"
"Indeed!" Everyone turned to support Rong Zheng, since Rong Zheng's martial arts skills were so high that he could defeat General Yuwen.
Sure enough, the next moment, Yuwen Yuanjing was sent flying by Rong Zheng's palm strike, crashing heavily to the ground. The black cloth covering his face disappeared without a trace, leaving his handsome face deathly pale, and a trickle of scarlet blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Rong Zheng leaped to Yuwen Yuanjing's side and stepped on Yuwen Yuanjing's body. "Do you still dare to rob? Look at you, so young, what couldn't you do? Becoming a bandit! You're a disgrace to your parents! If all else fails, you can be like me and work for a security escort agency. That way, you can earn money, practice martial arts, and eventually join the army as a general! A general has a much better future than a bandit!"
Yuwen Yuanjing: Grand General? You trampled the Grand General under your feet and still want to become the Grand General? Are you out of your mind? If it weren't for your superior martial arts skills, which truly deserve Prince Yi's favor, I would have already dealt with you!
“Tell me, how many times have you robbed us? This place isn’t far from the prefectural city. If you tell the truth, I won’t send you to the prefectural city; I’ll hand you over to the prefect!” Rong Zheng said righteously.
Yuwen Yuanjing said, "This is the first time I've ever robbed someone!"
"Is that so?" Rong Zheng released Yuwen Yuanjing: "Then why did you rob me?" If he were an unlucky person, wouldn't he have been robbed by him?
Yuwen Yuanjing was surprised that Rong Zheng had let him go. He rubbed his chest and said matter-of-factly, "I have no money!"
"Hmm?" Rong Zheng looked Yuwen Yuanjing up and down: "You don't look like someone who's broke. Look at the clothes you're wearing. If you pawned them, they'd fetch twenty or thirty taels of silver. And you're telling me you're broke? Do you think I'm easy to fool? If it weren't for your decent martial arts skills, which allow you to fight me for a few rounds, I would have given you another beating!"
"On my way to join the army, my travel expenses were stolen! I had no choice but to rob someone!"
"Join the army? You want to join the army?" Rong Zheng's eyes lit up immediately. You see, he had always wanted to join the army and become a general, but his parents disagreed, and he had never been able to fulfill his wish.
Yuwen Yuanjing nodded: "That's right! I'm a rough man with no skills, only martial arts skills. My family dislikes me because I have no other skills and always cause them trouble, so they want me to join the army! Cause trouble for the enemy country, beat them to a pulp, and preferably become a great general! That way, no girl will marry me!"
Rong Zheng showed no interest in the following remarks. He stared intently at Yuwen Yuanjing and asked, "Where do you want to join the army? Our Qingluan Kingdom has four great generals. Which general do you want to serve under?"
"Yuwen Yuanjing!"
