One hundred and fifty-fifth chapters sound east and west
In order to make Song Huiyue's death complete, Zhang Xutang personally took action and mobilized several garrison troops as the vanguard to die. Then he asked the Zhang family's horses to stand by in the rear, using the command arrow as a sign to kill Song Huiyue without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
.
This time, there were so many and dense arrows. If he let Song Huiyue escape again, then he could call himself Song Huiyue's subordinate.
The archer fired three rounds of sharp arrows in one go, turning everything in sight into hedgehogs. The passenger ship was even riddled with holes, and not a single living person was left on board.
The entire Huanggu Pier became a land of corpses. Even a garrison who pretended to be dead was not spared, and he met the King of Hell in an instant.
Zhang Xutang destroyed the dock with this overwhelming force. He felt so happy that he asked someone to put down the raft and went to the boat to see what was on board.
Several camphor wood boxes in the cabin were intact. Lao Wei opened the boxes and took a closer look. They were full of herbs.
Zhang Xutang snorted from his nose and said: "Try the tiger away from the mountain, thinking you can deceive me."
He also had a team of men who followed You Song's Taiping Car to the official road and would never let You Song go.
After seeing it, he got off the boat to enjoy the fruits of victory. The corpses had been neatly placed together. There were garrison troops, boatmen, and palace guards, except Song Huiyue, Yinxiao, and Hou Er.
How can this be?
Zhang Xutang was dumbfounded, turned the body over and over again, and then stared at the river fiercely.
Not in the river, neither he nor Lao Wei heard the sound of water.
Looking around again, there was no place for these three living people to hide.
He clenched his fists and walked back and forth on the dock like a trapped animal.
People don't disappear out of thin air, they must be hidden.
After a while, he suddenly waved his hand and ordered others to follow him, walking towards Huangu Pier.
Huanggu Pier was prosperous for a long time. Because the place was so narrow, houses were built on every available space. The houses were so densely packed that it was so cramped that people couldn't breathe.
Originally there were only a few people in the house, but after Zhang Xutang arrived, he had silenced all of them.
The river thieves are wreaking havoc and attacking everywhere. It is common to massacre a village. Just treat everything as the work of the river thieves.
He suspected that Song Huiyue and others had hidden themselves in these densely packed houses.
Arriving at a street where only one bullock cart could pass, Zhang Xutang raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
After the footsteps stopped, the abandoned streets became increasingly quiet, and even the dull breathing of everyone could be clearly heard.
Zhang Xutang listened attentively for a while, then suddenly shouted angrily: "Shut your fucking breath!"
Everyone was startled and immediately held their breath, and then quietly slowed down their breathing, making the place become dead silent.
There was not even the sound of insects, only the wind blowing here and there without restraint, blowing the withered grass into various shapes.
There was no movement, and even Lao Wei couldn't tell where Song Huiyue and the others were hiding.
However, Zhang Xutang closed his eyes and slowly listened.
Countless spider threads seemed to stretch out of his mind, spreading out in all directions. Although the person did not move, the smell poured into the tip of his nose bit by bit.
His unusual badness, unusually sensitive brain, and unusually deep emotions all played a huge role at this time.
Song Huiyue, Song Huiyue, how could he let her run away.
Everyone nervously clutched the bows and arrows in their hands and remained silent. They didn't know whether Zhang Xutang was pretending to be a ghost or praying to gods and Buddhas.
They had already noticed that Zhang Xutang seemed to be going crazy, but they did not dare to say anything and could only wait silently.
And Zhang Xutang, in the extreme silence, smelled the unique scent of Song Huiyue.
It has a very warm smell, like the fragrance of a girl that is not mixed with other things, but also mixed with the burning bitterness of medicine.
Very special and charming.
He took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and looked at the third room on the left with a smile.
As he tiptoed towards the house that had once been an inn, Lao Wei was about to draw his bow and arrow, but Zhang Xutang held him back.
"set fire."
He likes to set fire, because fire can wash away all traces of the world and turn the sins he has committed into a wisp of smoke, rising up into the blue clouds.
Soon, the fire was lit, and the Huanggu Pier, which had been dry for a long time, burned instantly, reflecting the water and the sky red.
At the same time, the archers were preparing outside. As long as anyone escaped from inside, they would shoot them with random arrows.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, burning so much that even Zhang Xutang, who was standing on the other side, felt burning, but there was still no trace of Song Huiyue.
Until half the combustibles on the left side of the street were burned out, the fire became smaller and smaller, the houses collapsed, and no one was found.
Zhang Xutang turned to the other side, wanting to carry out this path of destruction to the end and simply burn down the entire Huanggu Pier.
However, a small boat moored at the pier, and Zhang Lin rushed down from it and ran straight to Zhang Xutang.
"Second Master, I checked and found that You Song's emergency cart contained medicinal herbs."
Herbal medicine again?
Zhang Xutang's face darkened, knowing that he might have missed a good opportunity. After all, it was impossible for the King of Jin to ask someone to bring so many herbs from Kyoto to Anding County.
If the King of Jin died, there would be no need for medicinal herbs.
But now he knew nothing about Prince Jin's situation, whether he was dead or injured, let alone what these Prince Jin's people in Kyoto were planning.
"Where is the long history of the Jin Dynasty?"
Zhang Lin whispered: "Xiaowei has been following me. I exchanged letters with him and said that Xie Changshi's carriage also carried medicinal herbs."
With a fierce look in his eyes, Zhang Xutang raised his leg and kicked Zhang Lin in the stomach, knocking Zhang Lin backward.
He was not very strong, but Zhang Lin did not dare to pretend that nothing had happened, and fell to his knees, not daring to defend himself.
If you don't defend yourself, you might just get kicked in the face; if you defend yourself, you might lose your tongue. The only way to survive is to silently bear Zhang Xutang's anger.
Zhang Xutang cocked his head and looked at these messy houses with evil eyes, wondering bit by bit what he had missed.
After a moment, he said "Oh" and understood.
It's Xie Zhou.
Xie Zhou left the palace yesterday morning, and then went to the official road alone and rushed to Anding County, Zezhou to find any trace of King Jin.
He took nothing with him, not even a small baggage, and galloped all the way to Zezhou.
After Xie Zhou left the city, Song Huiyue went to the tea house but never came out.
She didn't come out, but she stretched out her hand, quietly arrived at the pier, and sent the things from the pier to Zezhou by boat, where Xie Zhou picked up the items.
He actually allowed such a little trick to be played!
It's all because I was too impatient and anxious to kill Song Huiyue. When I thought of being able to kill Song Huiyue with my own hands, I neglected other things!
He gritted his teeth and ordered Zhang Lin: "Go to the Kyoto pier to check! Check all the ships that arrived yesterday morning, the goods that were unloaded, the goods that were loaded, and the ships that left without unloading the goods!"
Zhang Lin responded, got up and left. When he got on the boat, he looked back at the fire that was lit again and wondered if his fate would be the same as that of a fire.
After all, the Kyoto Pier is the busiest place in the world. It's the end of the year, and there are thousands of ships coming and going in half a day. He doesn't have the ability to peel off the details. If he hands it in as it is, I'm afraid he will be punished again.
