"He Xianghong?" Zhang Yan was stunned at first, but after contacting the Chonglan County and bandits mentioned by Zhou Cang before, he suddenly found a past event that he had almost forgotten from a corner of his memory.
The name He Xianghong really exists.
Fortunately, Zhou Cang called him over first and said so much, otherwise Zhang Yan might not remember just the name.
"Yes, He Xianghong, sir, do you recognize him?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I do recognize him."
In fact, Zhang Yan was a little reluctant to recognize him, but he found it interesting to recall that period of time. He did not expect that he could still meet him after so many times.
What was a pretentious remark at that time has now found its way to the door of its own accord.
Things are unpredictable, and some things are truly unpredictable.
Zhou Cang naturally didn't know what Zhang Yan was thinking. Seeing Zhang Yan nodding in agreement, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was cautious enough, otherwise he would have missed Zhang Yan's favor. At least he can repay it a little now.
.
After arriving at the prison, Zhang Yan saw an emaciated man with one arm missing, sitting in the corner of a cell with his head lowered. He was motionless and only had a steady breath, indicating that the man was alive and had no major injuries.
hinder.
"He Xianghong, Mr. Zhang is here to see you." Zhou Cang knocked on the special lock outside the cell, and the man inside suddenly raised his head.
Yes, that's the guy.
Zhang Yan saw the appearance of the man who raised his head in the darkness. Although there was a lot of blood on his face, it still made some of his awakened memories more clear, and it also overlapped with the bandit in his memory.
Up.
When did Zhang Yan meet the bandits? Naturally, it was when he came down from Yubei Mountain and crossed the mountains to Yongde City via Xuanhua City.
At that time, Zhang Yan didn't have the skills he has now. He could only rely on the bean soldiers who had just started fighting for a long time as a cover to scare the bandits he encountered, and then left an excuse of "there will be generous rewards in the future" as an excuse to escape. At that time, he left
Among the people who put down their names and waited for Zhang Yan to repay him was He Xianghong.
Does this count as chasing you to fulfill your promise?
However, Zhang Yanke remembered that He Xianghong was not one-armed back then. Moreover, the group of bandits seemed to have disrupted and reshuffled the cards, so He Xianghong should have been able to do well among them. Now it seems that he must have encountered setbacks.
Zhang Yan recalled the past in his heart, and He Xianghong in the cell was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
What happened back then was just a convenient favor for He Xianghong. If someone came in exchange for a favor, it would be a big profit, and if no one came, it wouldn't be a big loss. He was even quickly disturbed by the merger of various copycats and forgot about it.
If he hadn't come to Langyuan City to join in the fun this time and happened to see Zhang Yan showing off his ruthless tactics on the stage, He Xianghong would have recalled that insignificant past event.
At that time, apart from the guards, the only passenger in the convoy who was holding a short sword was Zhang Yan, so He Xianghong took a second look at it. He was particularly impressed by Zhang Yan's indescribable unique temperament.
He should have forgotten it, but when he saw Zhang Yan again after a few years, Zhang Yan's appearance immediately brought out all the fragments deep in He Xianghong's memory and overlapped them. He instantly understood those black-armored warriors on the mountain road.
Who is the person being protected?
After seeing Zhang Yan kill two warriors of the Hundred Refining Realm, he felt extremely frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. As a result, the disguise he put on his face was washed away by drinking and pecking, and his identity was discovered not long after he left the house.
Capture.
"Haha, it seems like you really remember me."
"Mr. Zhang, I, I...sir, please save me!" He Xianghong actually didn't know what he should say, but fortunately, he knew that Zhang Yan could come to see him, which meant that Zhang Yan also remembered that past event. At this time
How long will it be before we call for help?
Zhang Yan did not answer. Zhou Cang next to him also understood. He opened the door of the cell to let Zhang Yan in, then locked it, and then asked the guards around him to retreat with him. He made it clear that he did not want to listen to the private conversation between Zhang Yan and He Xianghong.
One is the most popular divine craftsman, alchemist, and powerful man in Nanyuan Kingdom recently, and the other is an unpopular bandit. Whatever the connection between the two is, it is worth exploring. There will definitely be rumors about it.
After Zhou Cang left, Zhang Yan looked at He Xianghong and said with a smile, "Why are there no hands?"
"The mountain village robbed a car that shouldn't have been robbed, and left no one alive. It offended the big shots in Chengping County, and gathered half and half of the garrisons from Yongde City and Xuanhua City, plus a main battalion of the Western Army, on three sides.
We were attacked from a double flank, but in the end there was no one left out of ten. I was also lucky and lost an arm, but I still ran away.
After that, if you can’t do the business in the mountains, you will come out and follow others to try to make some sharp weapons business..."
He Xianghong also saw clearly his only way to survive now. Zhou Cang's departure made him understand the importance of Zhang Yan here. He knelt on the ground and pounded the ground with his head, and honestly told the general story of his experiences.
Clearly understood.
Zhang Yan nodded while listening. The man in front of him was really having a hard time. The bandits met the bandits in a good way, but in the end, they lost their arms and could only follow others as horse boys. Before, he could still enter the auction house.
Because he valued his disguise skills, but he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
But finally I met Zhang Yan. I can’t say whether this luck was good or bad.
"You have two options now. One is to be exiled. You are a mountain bandit in the west, and the sea fishing document on your back is also issued by Chonglan County. To the west of Chonglan County is the Yubei Mountain Fortress, and to the south is the field battle of Xiyuan County.
You will most likely go to these two places to serve in the army. If you are lucky, you will be cleared of crime in three to five years. If you are not lucky, you will not survive for a year.
Second, I will try to find a way to see if I can save you. But the price is that I am short of a slave. Are you willing to do it?"
Zhang Yan also made an impromptu idea. First of all, he felt that he was destined to be with the other party, and there was a reason for it. If it was not troublesome, he could really save him. The other was that he really lacked someone on hand who could run errands.
It was said that there were two choices, but for He Xianghong, there was actually no choice at all. Going to the army was a narrow escape, but he would not be willing to go if he had the choice. Otherwise, he would not clamor to find Zhang Yan.
Can be a slave...
"I do! Sir, I do!" He Xianghong hesitated for less than three breaths and immediately kowtowed. He would still settle the score. Compared with the previous days when he was called around and ordered around, he was precarious when he was a member of various forces.
What's wrong with being the slave of a strong man who wants to be won over but doesn't dare to offend?
Dignity? If you really care about this thing, can He Xianghong become a bandit? Can he be a gangster for others?
Zhang Yan smiled and watched the other person kowtow to him on the ground, but said nothing. When he saw that the other person's forehead was bruised, he turned around and knocked on the cell door. The jailer came over quickly and let Zhang Yan out.
He Xianghong shouted in surprise after that. He was willing to be a slave, so why did Zhang Yan leave without looking back?
