The fifty-second chapter off the mountain trip (10)
Nothing happened all night.
The summer was long, and by the time of the fourth watch, the sky was getting slightly brighter. Although Zhang Xing had something on his mind, he still got up on time and went to the Juyi Hall, preparing to change shifts to guard the prisoners as planned.
Summer mornings in the valley are often foggy and early in the morning, making it inevitably quiet.
Zhang Xing followed his memory and jumped onto the terrace in the valley where Juyi Hall was located, and walked straight in. When he entered the hall, he saw Qin Bao, Qian and Tang, who were on duty at night, and six or seven people were actually standing in the hall.
Standing in a row to look at themselves, they said hello from a distance.
However, when several people saw him coming, not only did no one reply, but they all winked.
Zhang Xing's mind was still confused and he was naturally puzzled, so he continued to walk forward, but after taking two more steps, he suddenly saw a giant man sitting at the head of the Juyi Hall, with a red face illuminated by a bonfire.
It was even more obvious, and in front of the giant man was Li Ding with a pair of panda eyes, greeting him while winking at him.
Up to this point, if Zhang Xing didn't know what was going on, he would have experienced those events in vain. However, he was frightened for a moment, stopped in his tracks, and tried to leave with the knife.
But as soon as his hand touched the handle of the knife, and as the tall man raised his hand from a distance, Zhang Xing felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, so much so that half of his body went numb.
When he went to look again, he discovered that he had been hit by a small stone, and the stone was already stained with blood and fell off.
"Throw away the knife and stand still!" The giant man groaned in the crowd. "The little girl from the Bai family went to get my senior brother and lost her way at night. It's a pity, but I can use you as an exchange."
At this point, Zhang Xing didn't know that he had met a real master, but for some reason, he felt like a stone had fallen to the ground.
"Brother Li, who is this hero?" Zhang Xing followed his good example, dropped his knife and walked over, covering his shoulder. He had just stood in a row with Qian Tang and others, but he couldn't wait to bear the pain and poked his head to ask Li Ding.
"He is my uncle Han Bolong's apprentice, Wu Chang is in Wu Erlang." Li Ding handed him over, slightly embarrassed.
"Are you and Han Shixiong's junior brother?" Zhang Xing, who was shocked by the name Wu Erlang, immediately realized. "Is your cultivation level so high?"
Wu Changzai glanced at the two people talking. He didn't know if he was giving face to his senior brother, but he didn't stop them.
"Yes." Li Dinglong started, becoming more and more embarrassed. "He has condensed the elixir, and he is born with supernatural powers."
"I probably understand." Zhang Xing nodded, as if he had woken up. "The three of you all learned from General Han Bolong, but what you learned is different. Han Shixiong took your uncle's drinking capacity, and you took your uncle's army.
Slightly... Is this person probably the one who got the strength and cultivation ability of the Japanese and Korean General Bolong when he met a real dragon drunk in the mountains and played with the real dragon when he was weak?"
The red-faced giant man was twirling his dry, yellow beard, looking slightly satisfied.
And Li Ding could only continue to nod awkwardly: "Absolutely."
"Brother Li." After a moment of pause, Zhang Xing continued to ask thoughtfully. "Did you know that our patrol inspector and your half-sister became sisters of the opposite sex? That night, I let you go.
Before, Inspector Bai sent Zhang Shiniang thirty miles eastward?"
From Qian Tang and below, a group of cavalrymen in brocade uniforms came together to see Zhang Xing, like a military parade saluting.
"I really don't know about this." Li Ding lowered his head and rubbed the ground with his feet.
"Then you know, I and I inspected my house and saw that you and your girl were both heroes, so we let you go by chance, and then we chose to search the mountain based on the confessions of the three guards. As a result, we came down to this village and learned about you.
, but they all thought that we let the tiger return to the mountain on purpose and followed your traces here?" Zhang Xing continued to ask out of curiosity.
Qian Tang and others continued to stare at Zhang Xing. After hearing this, they all looked at Li Ding in confusion. The giant man was also the first to hold his chin and look at his senior brother curiously.
"It's a coincidence." Li Ding became more and more embarrassed and seemed to be breathing a little heavily.
"Then you know..." Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment. "My inspection team and I knew that you actually knew your senior brother's whereabouts and then manipulated us so easily. How did you think?"
"Senior brother, what a good strategy!" Wu Erlang heard this and directly raised his palm in the seat, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"Actually, it's really just a misunderstanding." Li Ding looked back at his junior brother, completely helpless, and quickly turned back and showed his hands to Zhang Xing. "I was really grateful for your generosity that night, and then I knew that my cousin might come to Nanyang to look for me.
This junior brother also knew that my junior brother was familiar with the owner of the cottage here, so he decided to come here and give it a try... He wanted to find my cousin and persuade him to turn back as soon as possible, so as not to hurt others... Even if he couldn't turn back, he should take advantage of
My junior brother’s blessing is to make some mutilated corpses, make some noise or something, and explain it to the superiors. I really want to help.”
"But Brother Li." Zhang Xing continued to ask sincerely, covering his shoulders. "Now you are taking your junior brother with a carbine and a black tiger to dig out our hearts, wounding all of us. What kind of help are you doing? What are you going to say at this time?
Who dares to believe it?"
Li Ding looked back at his junior brother in embarrassment, and sincerely handed over his hand: "Erlang, I didn't tell you clearly about the rush I encountered on the road last night. It's just about other things. This person is the only one who has great kindness to me and is my sworn brother."
My dearest brother, let him go."
Wu Changzai smiled and nodded on the spot: "Senior brother's brother is my brother, and the things I heard about you are also interesting. It's not that he betrayed you... What's the point of letting him go? But he can't stay in the village.
, to save the need to arouse the officers and soldiers of the brigade..."
Li Ding felt relieved.
"Who is your sworn brother?" At this moment, Zhang Xing spoke coldly and sat down on the ground with his hands on his shoulders. "I have my own colleagues who live and die together, how can I have a sworn brother like you?"
Qin Bao next to him was so moved that he almost cried.
But just because of these words, Wu Changzai, who was interrupted, suddenly flew up from his seat, and in the air he pushed a Taishan-like palm towards Zhang Xing. The wind of his palm stirred up unknown true energy, roaring like a tiger.
.
But Zhang Xing just sat still.
Sure enough, before that, Li Ding quickly came up and stood in front of Zhang Xing.
Wu Erlang also seemed to have been prepared for it. He temporarily closed his palms, laughed loudly, and sat back down.
"Zhang Sanlang, what do you want?" Li Ding turned around and asked sincerely.
"Let all our injured friends here leave." Zhang Xing sat on the ground, raised his head and answered seriously. "We live together, we die together, that's all... I have to be different from you."
Now, even Qian Tang and Li Qingchen were crying.
But before Li Ding could reply, Wu Changzai, who was sitting in the first seat, laughed again, the sound shaking the roof tiles, and then he pointed his finger at Zhang Xing and said jokingly: "You are so ungrateful. Now I am the sword, and you are
I have the final say whether you want to kill or chop the meat... Do you know that if you hadn't restrained yourself properly and not killed innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise I would have taken advantage of you and pounced one by one and killed all of you Jinyi.
The dog has been given to Master Xu as an excuse!"
"They were properly restrained and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. In order to prevent the women and children of the village from becoming official slaves, we specifically discussed it and did not report to other officials. How can we not be called a good man?" Zhang Xing immediately raised his voice in defense. "Wu Erlang, you are doing this for this village again."
How dare you call us Jinyi Dogs after you have done anything benevolent and righteous?"
After saying this, Zhang Xing hurriedly went to see Li Ding: "Brother Li, you are here to comment!"
Li Ding didn't need Zhang Xing's reminder, so he came to see his junior brother early: "Xiao Wu, Erlang... they didn't report to the official... It's true that you control Juyi Hall now, but no one in the village has been alerted yet.
Every situation is still under the control of the officers and soldiers... We have to think about Master Xu and the hundreds of women, children and children here! Everything can be discussed easily!"
Wu Changzai looked a little impatient and stretched out his hand to pull his beard: "We are thieves and they are officials. How can we still negotiate things now?"
Li Ding stamped his foot, speechless in his heart, the problem is here, each of you has become a thief, I am still fine, how can I become a thief too?
When Zhang Xing saw this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Li Ding was finally a breakthrough.
However, at the next moment, Wu Changzai suddenly looked outside, his whole body tensed up, and even a few stones suddenly appeared in his hand.
Sure enough, in the dead silence of the morning a moment later, a furious voice suddenly came from mid-air: "Li Ding, I should have thought that you would come to find the Wu brothers. It was your plan for Han Shixiong to run here, right? My sister is really
Blind!"
Obviously, Bai Yousi came back in a rage. Although he didn't know whether he caught Han Shixiong, he became even more furious when he saw this scene.
Hearing this, Li Ding let out a long sigh, and Zhang Xing also seemed a little discouraged.
But Wu Erlang was not afraid at all. He just sneered in the audience: "Bai Yousi, you have been running around with your zhenqi all night. Aren't you tired? Why are you shouting so loudly? If you keep making noise, believe it or not, I will kill you two with a stone.
A subordinate to help the fun?"
As the two of them talked, there was obviously some commotion throughout the village, and it was obvious that they were a little alarmed.
Knowing that as long as all parts of the village were disturbed, chaos would inevitably break out. Even though Zhang Xing had no idea, he stood up and loudly said: "Wu Erlang, you are here for Han Shixiong...not to kill people."
!I’ll be the middle man for you!”
"You and I will live and die together with you." Wu Erlang just waved his hand, and with a huge force, he easily pushed the other person down and sat back. "I can't reach anywhere else, but the golden-robed dog in this hall,
They are all injured by me and have difficulty moving. If anyone dares to go out again, I will blow their head off directly!"
Zhang Xing received this blow, causing injuries on his shoulders and sweat all over his head.
"Then I'll go and be an intermediary with Inspector Bai." Li Ding suddenly stepped forward. "Those who are clean will be cleansed... Whatever I caused, I will put an end to it."
"Senior brother, please sit down too!" Wu Changzai was obviously a little polite to Li Ding, but it was just a little polite. He took two steps forward, pulled Li Ding to his original seat, and then threw down everything
The man laughed evilly. "I've been holding back my feelings in Nanyang these days. If I don't want to talk about it, let's fight first!"
As he spoke, this man actually threw down a host of hostages and his senior brother and jumped into the air.
In a sense, Zhang Xing and others were able to gain some freedom within a certain range. On the contrary, Li Ding fell into the position of being controlled, even when many of the knights around him were injured.
I don’t know what his junior brother Wu Erlang was thinking... Of course, after what happened with He Ruohuai Bao, no one of the Jinyi patrolmen dared to leave the Juyi Hall without permission.
"Zhang Sanlang."
Li Ding, who was surrounded at the head of the Juyi Hall, hid his face for a long time, and then sighed in response. "Are we going to leave the affairs of this world to these warriors?"
"You can leave it to the clan leaders, but why can't you leave it to the warriors?"
Zhang Xing stood up and was silent for a while. He listened to the growing noise around him and saw that the sky was getting brighter. He asked on the spot. "The key is, although we want to see you, we are just on the couch."
Talking about war, discussing doctrine at the table, when will something be done?"
"What do you want?" Li Ding let go and asked.
"I don't want to argue about your authenticity and virtue now. I just want to ask you, can you control your junior brother Wu Erlang?" Zhang Xing asked coldly.
"I can't control it, but I can scare him!" Li Ding was silent for a moment and gave the answer.
"Then follow me out. I'll take care of our inspection, and you can take care of your junior brother... Then I'll make the decision and let you, a smart man, go home!" Zhang Xing raised his eyebrows and spoke firmly. "If it's done,
, of course I respect you as a good man, but if you can't do it, just shut up and listen to me!"
As he said that, Zhang Xing ignored the wound on his shoulder and went forward to pull the opponent. Although the patrols around him had their own thoughts and instinctively wanted to dissuade and intimidate him, Zhang Xing gave him a cold look, but no one actually did so.
What action.
He actually let Zhang Xing grab Li Ding and walk out.
