Chapter 6: Nightmares Come True
Jia Lu was not stupid, of course he could hear the meaning of the big eunuch's words, and immediately smiled and handed over a few huge treasure bills, and whispered: "Father-in-law Wen is here to help the lower officials solve the problem of this Jianghu person meddling in the temple affairs this time?" ”
Wen Shengqing raised his right eyebrow, glanced at Jia Lu, who was obviously tall but shrunk down and pretended to be his grandson, took the treasure money, the smile on his face was a little thicker, and his words finally had a temperature: "A certain family is here to give you a reminder, and the people who do the work will arrive tonight in two batches, and one group will go directly to the city to do business." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info will naturally send you a letter after the matter is over, and when the time comes, whether you are willing to continue to besiege the city or slaughter this Haozhou and receive some military merits, it is up to you. ”
Although the eunuch's shrill voice was harsh, the content of Wen Shengqing's words here surprised Jia Lu again and again. He rubbed a pair of big hands, thinking that he had secretly exchanged a few glances with his master, and then smiled at Wen Shengqing with loyalty: "Father-in-law, we don't talk secretly between friends." If I'm all over this time, we'll be half. ”
Wen Shengqing curled the corners of his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper because of the smile. He didn't speak again, but directly lifted the curtain and walked out, and when the confused Jia Lu chased him out, he couldn't even see Wen Shengqing's shadow. Master Xu, who was always a little more sensitive than Jia Lu, hurriedly followed out of the tent, muttered a few words in Jia Lu's ear, and finally made General Jia Lu breathe a sigh of relief, and his eyebrows were happy again.
Haozhou has been trapped for more than half a year, and in addition to the fact that the food of the righteous army has long been bottomed out, the people's hearts are becoming more and more turbulent. Guo Zixing thought that his rebel army would end up exactly the same tragic as the many rebel armies, but he didn't expect the appearance of a person to bring him a turnaround.
Zhu Chongba, this young man is Tang He's fellow countryman. His arrival not only relieved the siege of the Yuan army, but also completely annihilated the invading enemy. Of course, for Guo Zixing, the rebel army in the city, the important thing is that this young man dressed as a monk with patches everywhere actually took the waterway and quietly brought in enough food, which solved the urgent needs of the rebel army, and at the same time, made the rebel army let go of the shameful idea of robbing the people in the city.
Guo Zixing was overjoyed and directly appointed Zhu Chongba as his personal entourage, and even introduced his righteous daughter to this young man at the celebration banquet, intentionally or unintentionally bringing him closer to Zhu Chongba, a blessed general.
A small victory and a large amount of food solved the crisis of the rebels in the city, but it did not mean that the current state of siege could be fundamentally changed. However, from Guo Zixing to the most humble rebel officers who were able to participate in this feast, no one thought about what would happen tomorrow.
There is one exception, though. The celebration banquet ended smoothly, and Zhu Chongba, who looked so drunk that his face was flushed, regained his sober demeanor when he left everyone and returned to his brothers.
He didn't dare to be careless, each of these beggar brothers who followed him was his family and the person he should value the most. A few months ago, when Zhu Chongba went home, he learned that his parents were dead, so he went to vote for his sister, but he encountered an inexplicable pursuit of people in the medicine valley on the way.
Yan Xiaowu is Zhu Chongba's confidant, this six-bag beggar who is not tall but has good skills is the only person who can understand Zhang Yunzhang since the death of Brother Zhang Yunzhang.
Yan Xiaowuyi hurriedly said when he saw Zhu Chongba: "Big brother, this Guo Zixing's subordinates are very ordinary, and they are holding together tightly, and they seem to be very disappreciative of our victory over Tartar for a while." ”
Zhu Chongba smiled slightly, waved his hand and signaled Yan Xiaowu to lower his voice. He hooked Yan Xiaowu's shoulder and whispered: "Xiao Wu, they have been surrounded for half a year and are helpless, let's win a battle just now, do you think they can be jealous?" Don't care about this, since we have decided to make a name for ourselves in this troubled world, how can we care that this is not a humiliating humiliation? ”
Zhu Chongba raised his head as he said and looked at the sky that was getting darker and darker, and his voice gradually sank: "It's just that this sudden victory is only afraid that it will stimulate the Tartars, I just hope they don't make anything happen." If the 50,000 troops outside the city really rushed to kill, even if the defenders in Haozhou did not rout and carried them, they would still be slaughtered seven or eight days later. ”
Yan Xiaowu wiped his rosacea nose and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, I've arranged everything, even if the Tartars suddenly break through Haozhou tonight, we can protect the big brother and retreat." ”
Zhu Chongba didn't say anything more, the trace of uneasiness in his heart didn't have a clear clue, and he was not the type of mediocre person who disturbed himself. Since he lost his parents and brothers, he has seen too much of the world alone, Zhang Yun's death made him lose his heart to the rivers and lakes, and what happened to his sister ignited his ambition to chase the troubled times.
At this time, Zhu Chongba's heart was much tougher than before. It's too early to say that Zhu Chongba is now enough to compete with the heroes, but at least one thing is certain, that is, he no longer has the fear of killing people that he once had when he killed the Tartars.
Zhu Chongba's residence is not very good, but it is also a single room, with a bed and a table, a chair and a stool, and a small stove to boil water. Yan Xiaoliu didn't know where to help Zhu Chongba find a big bucket, let his eldest brother he admired the most take a hot bath, and then lay comfortably on the bed stuffed with straw cotton and fell asleep.
Zhu Chongba had a dream, a very terrifying dream. In the dream, he became the object of being hunted and killed, and no matter how he fled, he would be chased by the killer until there was no escape, and the killer caught him. The killer's face couldn't be seen clearly, but Zhu Chongba could clearly feel the murderous aura that would definitely make him worse than dead.
So Zhu Chongba woke up and found that he was soaked in sweat, but he didn't have the idea of wiping his body, because he did feel a slightly different atmosphere.
Zhu Chongba, who has been practicing martial arts for some years, is not very good, but he is strong in body and has much more sensitive ears and eyes. He carefully pulled up his coat and put it on, and then felt his short knife from the pillow, and slowly slipped down the side of the bed to the floor, rubbed little by little against the door, and listened, all as quiet as possible.
"Shi ......" was just a word that didn't completely gush out of his throat, but it was like a thunderbolt that shocked Zhu Chongba's hairs all over his body.
There is really a killer, and the goal is extremely clear, it is him Zhu Chongba!
Tartar? No, those officers and soldiers of the Tartars are not like someone who can easily kill the guards of those beggar masters. People in the rivers and lakes? Who will it be?
