Chapter 2 Murder (6)
Chapter 2 Murder (VI)
"Ah——! You, why did you really kill him?" Unexpectedly, Zheng Ziming's actions were so straightforward. Zhao Kuangyin was almost splashed all over, instinctively jumped away several feet and questioned loudly.
"Didn't you just said that you can't stay this person?" Zheng Ziming stopped, turned his head, and responded in a low voice. The square face was full of innocence.
"You, alas--!" Zhao Kuangyin was speechless when asked, and could only grit his teeth and stamp his feet.
Although he looked down on the words and actions of the Red Cloak at the last moment of his life, from the perspective of his own interests, he was still ready to save this person's life. After all, there is an insider who is familiar with the situation of his opponent, and it will be much easier for everyone to conquer Mr. Jia's fortress next. And through the evidence of the Red Cloak, it is easier to capture all the best friends of the Jia family in one go.
Zheng Ziming whips down with steel, which is equivalent to smashing all his plans. Now, if everyone wants to attack the old master Jia's village, they can only choose to attack. If they want to distinguish the officials in Cangzhou City, they can only look for a suitable spy again.
"It's too late, I've been beaten to death. It's too late to say anything now!" Zheng Ziming's next words made Zhao Kuangyin even more angry. "But don't be angry, there are many assassins over there, and we might be able to catch a few more suitable ones!"
After saying that, he didn't care whether Zhao Kuangyin would take the matter or not, and ran away with a steel whip. He made Brother Zhao so angry that his eyes were smoking. He stood there and cursed for a few words, but in the end he could only catch up with a big copper stick.
The assassins had been defeated by Han Chongyun, Hu Yanzan, Pan Mei and others. Suddenly, they met two great generals Zheng Ziming and Zhao Kuangyin, who became a loser. They either screamed and fled, rather than being killed from behind than resist. Or they threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, just asking the young men to show their strength to themselves.
Zheng Ziming, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Chongyun, Hu Yanzan and others chased the north. In just one quarter of the hour, they killed one third of the assassins and captured a small half. However, because the number of people was too far behind the other, they were unable to wipe out all the assassins. In the end, about half of the assassins escaped.
Among the 30 assassins who escaped, more than 70% of them completely realized the situation, twisted their bodies halfway and decisively fled Cangzhou. From then on, they changed their appearance and disappeared. The remaining assassins were determined to advance and retreat with their employers. Taking advantage of the moment when Zheng Ziming and others were busy interrogating the prisoners and analyzing the situation, they sneaked back to Jiajiabao Village and informed their employers, Jia Deng, the largest salt lord in Cangzhou.
"What are you talking about? There are more than 200 people here?" When Jia Deng heard this, he immediately put the beautiful concubine in his arms on the ground, jumped and roared loudly.
"Ideas, ideas are there, and there is the courage of thousands of people to be unworthy!" The two assassins who were the first to return to Jia's Fortress knelt on the ground, with a clear tremor in their voices.
"Bad! A bullshit is a brave man who is not worthy of his courage, and it is obviously useless!" Jia, the big salt ox, stepped forward and kicked the two assassins one by one, and continued to roar and question, "You want their specific number. I bought them back the specific number one day in advance. You must isolate the defenders in Cangzhou City, and I also bought the defenders and did not help each other. You are afraid that some of them will run too fast, so I also bought you poison arrows, horn bows, tripping horses and horse-repellents. I spent so much money, but in the end you only brought back the news of the annihilation of the entire army. Where did you get the shame?"
"Master, please spare me. The villain did not lie! Then, Zheng Ziming really has the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men. The big and big guards didn't hold on for a long time, and he was beaten to vomit blood and ran away. Although the villain, although the villain had already sacrificed his life, the skills were too different from each other!"
"Give me your life, spare me your life! Yes, the Grand Guardian took the lead in running away, and the young people had no leader, so, so, I fought to fight to death and came back to report the news. Little man, the villain really tried his best, and he really couldn't help but he was powerless!"
The two assassins were kicked back and forth, but they did not dare to resist. They just kept crying and begging!
Both of them were covered with color, one was injured on their left shoulder and the other was injured on their right rib. Half of their bodies were stained with blood, and the two boots on their feet were covered with scarlet dry mud. At first glance, no one could regard them as cowards who escaped in the battle, but would only think that they were heroes who came back from the bloody battle.
Jia Deng's tent and staff members, whose eyes were wide open, kept scanning the two assassins who had escaped. After a while, they did not scan a wound behind them. In their hearts, they felt a little fond of the two assassins, and their words also revealed a bit of protection.
"The owner of the manor calms down. At this moment, the first thing we need to do is to find a way to deal with Zheng Ziming's revenge, rather than punishing the defeated general!"
"Yes, owner of the manor, if Zheng Ziming caught a few live-actions, it is not difficult to find out who wanted to take his life. Next, he will definitely lead his troops to attack our Hung Fort Village. Although the wall of Jiajia Village is strong, if there are no reinforcements, it will probably be difficult to hold on for too long."
"Killing Zheng Ziming was not your decision alone. Now that you have failed, the responsibility cannot be borne by you alone. The Wang family, Chen family, Zhu family, and Cangzhou City team must also stand up and advance and retreat with our family."
"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy, you can win every battle. Master, you might as well ask clearly the details of this battle first."
"Anyway, it is the most important thing to let Zhuang Ding go up to the wall to garrison and find a way to retaliate. As for the others..."
Although everyone didn't have much practical experience, they said one by one, with a lot of reason and evidence. When the Great Salt Owl Jia Deng heard this, his irritability suddenly disappeared a lot. He raised his feet, took two steps back, and frowned and ordered, "Come on, pull them up. You two, tell me clearly how this battle was fought. Why did the Grand Guard leave you and run away first? Is he dead or not?"
"No, no need to pull, villain, villain can, hello——! villain can stand, stand up!" The two assassins rolled on the ground with difficulty, struggled until someone grabbed his arm, and then stood up and bowed to Jia Deng, "Mr. Xie is for not killing! The villain was led by the Grand Guard this morning..."
Although they escaped a little earlier and did not see the complete defeat with their own eyes, these two guys, relying on their respective imaginations, described a fierce, difficult, and fierce battle for the Great Salt Owl Jia Deng and the others present.
Of course, they were well prepared, properly deployed, and had a strong morale. They were loyal to their employers. However, it was not that everyone was desperate, but the opponent was too powerful. It was far beyond anyone's expectations. Not only was Zheng Ziming himself an enemy of thousands of people, but other young men who were with him could also sweep away the troops...
In the eyes of the two of them, the only mistake in this battle was that the Grand Guard, who led the team, should not force everyone into the woods too early. The Grand Guard, who led the team, must have died at the hands of Zheng Ziming, or was captured alive by Zheng Ziming, so this person is the best object of slander. Anyway, this person has no hope of coming back to confront him, and he will not be able to make any mistakes.
The smart people will generally agree on the choices of the critical moments. Then they fled back to the fortress and instinctively exaggerated the strength of their opponents and instinctively pushed the responsibility for defeat on the Grand Guard who led the team. After verifying the confessions of all the escaped people, the Great Salt Owl Jia Deng and his aides naturally came to an extremely frustrating conclusion: Zheng Ziming and his friends were all Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were brave generals like Zhang Fei, would never be able to win in the field. At this moment, the only way is to defend the fortress and then bring in a wide range of reinforcements. Striving to first rely on the geographical advantage and people to fight a draw. Then find a way to mediate and mediate, and finally turn the sword into a jade war.
"This, how is this possible? The man surnamed Zheng knew that I wanted to kill him!" Holding his head with both hands, the big salt owl Jia Deng said with a string of despair. "If he doesn't kill my whole family, how can he sit firmly in the position of the defensive commander? Besides, he still has more than 2,000 confidant brothers in his hand. As long as he takes the salt tax, he can recruit soldiers on the spot. In time, I will not be his opponent!"
"The problem is, Master, you just wanted to give him a warning at first, and didn't want his life!" A goatee shook his head and whispered, "What he should really take revenge is the person who gave you the order, not you. Furthermore, as long as he did not break through the fortress in a very short time, he would realize our strength. At that time, instead of fighting with us for both sides and letting others get a bargain, it would be better not to let go of his past grudges and make money from salt making and selling salt together!"
"You mean, let me take the initiative to tell him what anyone ordered?" Jiaden's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he ignored the other party's next few words without hesitation.
