In the mid-autumn season, seven thieves above the Condensation stage formed a sworn alliance with Luoshui and were named the Seven Saints. They tried to break through the Black Tower, rescue the thieves and prisoners, disturb Jing'an Tower, and become famous all over the world.
After all, Jingantai won a complete victory in this battle. In the absence of King Cao Huangshu, they were not afraid of danger, organized well, calmly formed a large formation, and fought effectively. They successfully killed one person long before the grand master turned back.
, capture one person alive.
In particular, the person who was killed was actually killed by the most basic four-phase formation with a sword from Hei Shou, who was the leader of the formation. It was a hearty experience.
And Bai Yousi, the second best swordsman in the list of talents, did not lose his momentum. In this battle, he cut off the left hand of a master of the same level and captured another one, which was extremely majestic.
But in the end, what impressed everyone the most was the absolute dominance of the Grand Master himself. One of the four masters of condensation may have already become a pill, but in the end, they were unable to resist in front of this furious Grand Master.
, captured without hesitation.
Among them, Zhou Wuji, who was ranked fifth on the black list, was cut in half and died on the spot.
Among the seven top masters who were able to dominate the world, except for one Nan Di Guan Qi Dao, nicknamed Mang King Kong, who saw the opportunity quickly, he came up and chopped off a corner of the black tower and then fled quickly. The other six were either dead or injured, and all of them had no results.
Of course, this group of people still gained something. Mang King Kong, who had no criminal record, successfully entered the black list, replaced Wanli Lone, and became the fifth existence on the black list. He was very majestic and famous.
The world.
Whoever sees him in the future will not give a thumbs up and call him a hero?
In the blink of an eye, Jing'antai was also in a mess due to this raid.
Those bastards, after all, were masters at the level of pill condensation and above. They suddenly attacked, and a corner of the tower collapsed. Many people were injured, and houses everywhere collapsed. The most embarrassing thing is that these people just came in.
At that time, I actually broke into the tower while the formation was not formed, and walked through it several times. It didn't matter the doors and windows. The key was that the files, documents, and related clerks inside were indeed damaged.
Moreover, the corpses also polluted the environment of Jing'antai. Blood was scattered all over the sky and the ground. Large-scale dredging work was forced to begin on the pools that had not been cleaned for many years.
As for Zhang Xing, due to manpower problems and the current special situation, he was officially transferred and began to assist in the small courtyard to handle various matters that the Black Tower was originally responsible for. The person he contacted was a man named
There are five layers of black ribbons in Chen's tower, and they basically do all the work of the minister.
By the afternoon of that day, when the weather turned cold, he had been sick and worked and served the people of Wei for three consecutive days... For three days in a row, he did not fish, but devoted himself to serving Wei and Jing.
Antai was heartbroken.
"Thirty-five corpses rushed out, are they all human?"
In the evening, the sky was already dark. Because the wing room also had holes, Zhang Xingzheng, who was forced to work in the open air in the small courtyard, endured the pain and discomfort all over his body and continued to sit down for the last shift. "Brother Wang Qi, are you kidding me?"
"No kidding." A white-sanded member of the team sitting opposite raised his hands. "Does Zhang Sanlang know why this matter is so difficult? It's not human bones. Human bones are nothing in Jing'an Terrace. Who hasn't been killed?
Extraordinary? The problem is that we don’t know which family the bones in the mud belong to? Maybe it’s an accident on our island, but it’s more likely that they came from the Imperial City and Xiyuan. Then
Can we examine the bones that came rushing towards us? But in broad daylight..."
"I understand what Brother Qi means." Zhang Xing held his chin and thought for a moment, then settled. "Okay, don't embarrass the brothers, take advantage of the chaos now and it's dark, just pretend it's livestock bones, hurry up and stuff them
Go back to the mud and take it outside the city to be used as fertilizer... I won't do anything here for now, let's see if we can fool you. If someone serious asks, you will report to me again, and I will say that I am too busy to faint.
Forget... never let your brothers be in trouble, hurry up!"
"Thank you, Zhang Sanlang, for helping me put a shoulder on my shoulder." Bai Shou stood up immediately, cupped his hand heavily, and then turned around and left.
As soon as the person left, Zhang Xing couldn't help but frown. After all, who would have thought that there would be dozens of human bones under the pond where he thought he was so beautiful and alive?
Just like this, while thinking about it, he picked up the teacup and prepared to take a sip. However, he found that the tea in the teacup had already been frozen hard by himself, so he called Xiao Gu to change the cup and water.
Xiao Gu was also used to it, so he quickly replaced it with a glass of boiling water and took away the ice cubes.
And a moment later, just as Zhang Xing was waiting for an opportunity to get up, suddenly another person sat directly over, but it was an old acquaintance.
"Li Twelve Lang." Zhang Xing couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it was Li Qingchen. "What kind of job are you doing today, and how did you come to my place?"
"Don't mention it!" Li Qingchen was furious after sitting down. "Is there tea?"
Zhang Xing hurriedly handed over the untouched water. Li Qingchen brought it over and saw that it was boiling water. He handed it back again. Zhang Xing said nothing and reached out to squeeze the tea cup. The hot water quickly cooled down and then he put it down.
Li Qingchen picked up the herbal tea and drank it first before speaking: "Zhang Sanlang, do you know what I was asked to do at the Black Tower today? They asked me to fish!"
"Touch the fish in the pond?" Zhang Xing was startled for a moment, and then he realized it, because he suggested this to Ta Nei last night. The reason was that the road to the kitchen was blocked due to dredging in the past few days, so he didn't arrive in time.
Buy meat.
"Yes." Li Qingchen was extremely helpless. "Give me such a good job? I said that I was on the field and had never touched fish, but Hei Shou was just impatient, saying that the island was in a mess, and even the Black Tower was in chaos.
Damn it, I'm a white-sanded person still trying to shirk official duties, it's ridiculous, and then I just turned away and walked away. I had no other choice, so I went to find some official servants to fish for fish, and in the process I got into trouble with Wang Qilang from the third group.
Get up, they are responsible for dredging..."
"Did you catch it?"
"Picked it up."
“Are there many or few fish?”
"It's scary..." Li Qingchen took a long breath. "There are more than a dozen carts, and there are frogs as big as plates. The officials and servants are not willing to throw them away, saying that they are very tender after being stewed."
"Then what?" Zhang Xing was quite puzzled.
"Then I went to find the black ribbon, and he asked me to take him to the kitchen."
"Then go ahead." Zhang Xing became increasingly puzzled. "Isn't this the end?"
"I don't want the kitchen, even if I die." Li Qingchen finally said the crux of the problem. "It was only at this moment that I remembered that half a person fell into the pool, and no one dared to clean up the frogs and catfish, and no one would eat them."
More than just half-drawing people... Zhang Xing was speechless when he thought of the more than thirty bones in the mud before: "Actually, this matter is simple. The reason why we need to fish is because the mud blocks the road and the kitchen cannot buy meat... And Li Shi
Erlang, you are not short of money. If you want to save trouble, just go home and ask the servant to go outside the city early tomorrow to order some pigs, sheep and vegetables."
"Is that enough?" Li Qingchen raised his eyebrows. "I don't need to take care of the dozen or so carts of fish and frogs that no one dares to ask for. When the half-hearted people came down, everyone in Taichung saw it. Who dared to eat them?"
"Someone didn't see it." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Ask the servants to take you to Chengfu Fang or Guiyi Fang before the gate is closed, and put up a sign. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the Jing'an Terrace will be cleared.
Send fish and frogs to the military and civilian families, just pick up the car early tomorrow morning..."
Li Qingchen suddenly understood, patted his thigh and left.
Mr. Zhang took a breath, looked at the getting later and later, gritted his teeth and stood up, but was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he walked cautiously towards the Black Tower with his arms folded.
When they came to the foot of the tower, they didn't dare to go in and disturb Zhong Cheng, who was very angry recently. They only let a small group of official servants go in and called the black man surnamed Chen to come out.
"It's been a long day of hard work, Xiao Zhang."
Chen Heishou brought Xiao Gu out to see Zhang Xing again. He was not surprised at all. "Is everything in order?"
"Anyway, everything sent to us has been dealt with." Zhang Xing seemed a little embarrassed.
"That's really remarkable." Hei Shou answered with his hands behind his hands. "You do things for me, and I'll take care of yours too... Take him away later!"
Zhang Xing quickly bowed his head and saluted.
"No need." Hei Shou immediately waved his hand. "You paid for it with hard work these days, and his guilt is not big. Besides, Chai Changjian and the others who are close friends all say that you are loyal and reliable... Besides,
I also roughly know why you want this person in the Black Tower, and it's not a shame... In short, after he is taken away, don't have anything to do with Jing'an Taiwan. Everything will be dealt with in the Ministry of Punishment... Please sign the document.
"
Saying that, he finally pointed at the document from Xiao Gu's hand. Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly and quickly signed the document in his hand.
Then, the black ribbon collected the documents and went into the tower. Zhang Xing did not go in, but just gestured to Xiao Gu to go back, and then waited outside alone. And a moment later, a tall man was wrapped up from the black tower.
He took out the blindfold and came outside the tower. As soon as the two black tower jailers let go, he stumbled to the ground and almost collapsed.
Zhang Xing stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's rope, exchanged greetings with the two jailers, and then dragged the person out and staggered out.
When they came to the bridge, Qin Bao was waiting there again, holding a knife. The two of them walked one behind the other without saying a word. They just walked south with the prisoner in their arms. They didn't know how long they walked. It was already dark, but they arrived at Nancheng again.
Under the city wall.
Qin Bao went up to call someone, but he saw Xu Wei, the manager of the city wall, came directly to meet him, took the three people to the gate of the city wall, and then used a huge basket to hang the three people down three times. It can be seen that this
The basket is a professional one, and Guan Xu often engages in the business of smuggling and releasing people at night.
The three of them descended from the city under the half-full moon. Zhang Xing continued to lead the man for seventy or eighty steps before finally standing still. Then Qin Bao stepped forward and untied the prisoner's rope and blindfold.
"Brother Hong, do you still remember me?" Zhang Xing asked with his hands behind his hands.
It turned out that this prisoner was Hong Changya, the wave-breaking swordsman who came to challenge that day.
Hong Changya was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he spoke: "When you first came out of the Black Tower, you chatted with the jailers, and I knew it was you... Why, you think I'm not dead, so you want to deal with it privately.
me?"
"Why should I deal with you in private?" Zhang Xing said with a bitter smile in the dusk. "Brother Hong, that night, I did have the intention of sending you away with words, but it was definitely not to kill someone with a borrowed knife. How could I have imagined that you would dare to challenge others?
Moyun Golden-winged Dapeng? When he heard the news, he wanted to fish you out because he was worthless for you. But what happened next? You should have heard some opinions in the black tower in the past few days. There were several masters and
You generally don’t know how high the sky is and how dare you attack the Black Tower... As a result, our Zhongcheng was angered, and he was killed or imprisoned... For this matter, we did not dare to delay, so we hurriedly spent some favors and silver, and exchanged them in a hurry
You come out."
Having said this, Zhang Xing walked towards the other party, stroking his arms.
And sure enough, when Hong Changya saw the other party, he was so frightened that he staggered back... I don't know what he has been through in the past few days?
However, Zhang Xing still successfully took out the thing in his arms, but it suddenly turned out to be a handful of broken silver. He then dragged the other party forcefully, stuffed the silver over, and then said in his mouth: "I have already packed it at the Ministry of Punishment, please remember
Live, I am an innocent person released from the Ministry of Punishment... Go home, you will still be a good man when you return to Taiyuan... It is really not easy to live here in Dongdu, let alone think about giving you something to hate the world without a ring.
Brother's revenge, you will never be Cao Zhongcheng's opponent in this life, you are just dying in vain."
With that said, Zhang Xing finally let go and headed towards the city wall with Qin Bao, who was constantly vigilant.
"Qin Erlang...have you thanked me?"
Seeing this, Hong Changya, who was in a mess, finally believed that he had left Dongdu alive, but he couldn't help but hold the silver in his hand and hold it in his hand.
"You're welcome." Zhang Xing didn't look back in the dusk. "Go quickly, go quickly... It's dark today, so just pretend you haven't seen me, and you haven't lost face... Just forget about Dongdu in the future.
"
Hong Changya nodded, turned around, clutched the silver, and ran staggeringly under the moonlight for a few steps. Suddenly, he felt a soreness in his nose, and then he shed tears. He couldn't help but squat down and cry in his arms.
As the saying goes, men don't shed tears easily because they haven't reached the point of sadness. Looking back at the Eastern Capital, the moon is not yet setting, and it is really difficult to be alone in the world.
