Chapter Fifty-Eight: Being Tracked {Collect}
Zhang Kang and his entourage, who were sleeping in the open air, worked hard all the way, but did not make these iron-clad men feel the slightest tiredness, and stood in front of Zuo Chen with a spring breeze and smiled slightly.
After years of military career, they have built up their majestic and high-spirited momentum, and standing there neatly, they have a heroic feeling. Zuo Chen was familiar with this atmosphere, bold and orderly.
"Childe, leave ten people behind according to your orders, and the rest are here." Zhang Kang smiled, wrinkles looming on his face. In the past month or so, he has made two round-trips back and forth to Kyoto, and he is really tired enough.
"Uncle Zhang's hard work! Hurry up and lead the uncles to drink, I don't know how many good meals of wine and meat I have eaten along the way, and I will make up for it after today. Zuo Chen urged Zhang Kang, he had made two long journeys, how could he not know their hardships.
Zuo Chen's gratitude is real, and the large pieces of meat and bowls of wine are specially prepared for them to catch the wind and wash the dust. The dark red martial artist costume of the unified standard, with satin boots on a white background, can be dressed neatly after waiting for the bath.
Including the five people who started to come to Kyoto, there are already twenty people in total, which will be the help of Zuo Chen's development of power in Kyoto, and people are not more shrewd and capable.
The two of them went out of Kyoto with Zhang Youcai to recruit talented people, and the rest of the people will be stationed in three parts in the future, the mansion, the shops and the secret training base. Zuo Chen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, in the near future, these twenty iron-clad men will expand into a special forces corps in memory with the momentum of sparks.
"Uncle Zhang, come out of Kyoto with me tomorrow to see if there is a suitable place to use as a training base temporarily." Zuo Chen found Zhang Youcai and said.
"In such a hurry? I haven't left yet, so you're going to have to look for it in advance, isn't it a little early? Zhang Youcai was puzzled, why Zuo Chen was so anxious.
"Anything, as long as you think of it, do it as soon as possible, who knows what will change or whether there will be time? Besides, I don't think that the General's Mansion is able to keep secrets, not to mention the idle people in the mansion, etc., but the neighbors who know if it's the eyeliner of the imperial court? After Zuo Chen finished speaking, he rubbed his face with both hands, he had been thinking too much about problems recently, and he felt a little dizzy.
Zhang Youcai felt that Zuo Chen was in a bit of a hurry, and he kept recruiting troops and horses, and the time to come and go would not be too short, not to mention that he had to do it secretly, and secretly he had to investigate the background and character of the recruited personnel.
I thought that Zuo Chen could always think about the problem in front of him and prepare in advance, so I agreed. Suddenly remembered the whereabouts of the shopkeeper, and said: "I came back late last night, and I didn't bother when I saw that you were resting." As soon as Zhang Kang came back today, he almost forgot. The shopkeeper found it, a very famous one in the Kyoto industry. ”
Zuo Chen felt that it was really a good thing, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "That's the best, we have experience, fame and character, we must use it for ourselves." Otherwise, we will be busy, and we will not be able to do anything well. ”
Zhang Youcai is no longer entangled in Zuo Chen's thinking ability, and is very moved by the "we" that Zuo Chen said, and only feels warm and comfortable in his heart. nodded approvingly at what Zuo Chen said. I turned my head sideways and saw Zhang Kang running over with a red face, and said angrily: "I'm full of wine and food, and I don't know how to rest quickly, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Kang didn't care about his cousin's reprimand, and he couldn't see shyness on his face after drinking, and smiled wryly: "Who can sleep in the middle of the day?" I just took a shower and changed into new clothes, and I don't feel tired anymore, so I will go to bed at night. ”
Seeing that his cousin was pointing at him with his hand and didn't go to rest anymore, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then how is Sun Yongquan's matter?" After saying that, like an ignorant child eager for an answer, he looked at his cousin and Zuo Chen left and right.
Zhang Youcai knew that he couldn't help him break the sand pot and ask the end, so he told him in detail.
Zhang Kang's eyebrows fluttered up and down like butterflies, patted his thighs and said: "I've been worried about it on the road, I'm afraid that I'll cause trouble for my son." Now it's a peace of mind, you talk, I'll go back to sleep. ”
After Zhang Kang finished speaking, he turned around and left. Presumably, I can sleep peacefully now.
provoked Zhang Youcai behind him to stare at his back, I wanted to say a few words to him, but I couldn't get angry when my temper came in the future, I had to think twice, but I didn't think that people would turn around and leave.
Zuo Chen, who was smiling, looked at Zhang Youcai, who was smiling at himself with a helpless face, and said: "I'm tired of him, and I guess I don't know how to be anxious on the road!" It's going to be reassuring. ”
……
When the sky was slightly bright, Zuo Chen and Zhang Youcai left the capital.
Spring is getting deep outside Kyoto. The willow tree on the side of the road no longer shook its arms bare-chested, but it was lazy in its new green clothes, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, and it shook its body very reluctantly. The grass that had just woken up was moved against the dewdrops, sleepy-eyed and awakened by the sound of the horse's hooves, and the wind carried up by the horse's hooves shook off the dew that had only condensed overnight.
Zuo Chen and Zhang Youcai on horseback galloped forward with a slight hunched body, a hundred miles away is not a forbidden place in Kyoto, and the distance is far away, so they can't afford to wander slowly. It may not be possible to find a satisfactory spot in one day, let alone return to Kyoto Castle before the gates are closed.
"Childe, you see a group of low mountains in front of you, let's go over and have a look?" Zhang Kang pointed into the distance with a horsewhip. It is more than 100 miles away from Kyoto, and the terrain is no longer flat, and mounds and low hills can be seen at any time, but it is rare to see such low mountains stretching together.
Zuo Chen nodded, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and ran forward.
It didn't look too far and too high from a distance, but the two of them ran for about half an hour. The overgrown mountains are sparsely populated with trees, but at the foot of the mountain are lush locust trees, occasionally interspersed with a few poplars, and an unknown tree species from Zuo Chen.
"The terrain halfway up the hill is gentle, so you can build houses, and it's not easy to see it when it's hidden by the low hill in front of you." Zhang Youcai said.
Zuo Chen shook his head and said, "We are not here to build a summer resort, so the normal looking footing is not suitable for us, it is good behind the woods, it is easy to enter and exit, and the woods can be ambushed or trapped." Walk to the top of the mountain and see if the view is open. ”
It's noon, and the sun is blazing. The wind is not small at the top of the mountain, and the flat fields in the distance can be seen unobstructed.
Facing the warm south wind, Zuo Chen smiled and said to Zhang Youcai: "The place is good, I didn't expect the field of vision to be so vast, it is a good place to observe." If there is wind and grass in the distance, you can see it all. ”
"The decision is here? I also think the environment and location are quite suitable. Zhang Youcai said.
"How come there are two people riding horses, rushing towards here. Wrong! There's another one in the back. Zuo Chen pointed to the distance and said.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both felt a little bad! When they came, they both noticed that there were no mountain roads in the remote part of the mountains, and there were no traces of being trampled by horses. Look at the three people who came, they actually followed the traces of the two of them when they came.
"The color of the clothes is not the same color as the clothes in the house, and they follow the traces of the two of us. Friend or foe! Zuo Chen stood on the top of the mountain, and when he encountered this situation, he was still calm and breathing steadily.
At present, the only one who is not in the same sky as Zuochen is the Li family, and if anyone who comes has bad intentions, it is certain that it must be sent by the Li family.
"Down the hill! Look at how many pounds and taels of ability you have, and dare to chase after you? Zuo Chen said with a sneer.
Zhang Youcai was surprised by the evil aura emanating from Zuo Chen's body, and he didn't see the slightest panic, but his arrogant and domineering expression was vividly revealed. How did Zhang Youcai know that this yellow-mouthed child, who didn't look tall, had a good combat power and blessed the experience of his previous life, where would he take these three people in his eyes.
"Childe, it's very dangerous now, they are prepared......" Zhang Youcai reminded uneasily to follow Zuo Chen, and before he finished speaking, Zuo Chen rushed out like a tanuki. I saw Zuo Chen descending the mountain as if walking on flat ground, and pulling a handful of trees with his hands in time to slow down the inertia of the downward swoop. In the case of a larger rock, one foot goes straight to reduce the buffer force, and the other foot steps on the rock again to bounce up with force, and it falls into the distance.
In a few breaths, Zhang Youcai was unexpectedly left far away by Zuo Chen. It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, in Zhang Youcai's opinion, Zuo Chen is as flexible as the civet cat, he is not the slightest dull in dodging and jumping, and he is as unstoppable as flowing clouds, and the mountains, rocks and trees have become small obstacles set up for his performance.
When Zhang Youcai ran to the foot of the mountain, Zuo Chen was already standing calmly beside the horse, looking at the galloping servants from a distance for a while.
"Childe, you hide on the side for a while, and I'll deal with them." Zhang Youcai said.
Zuo Chen smiled gratefully and said, "I'm afraid that the rise of your killing will be out of life, isn't it clear that you can't figure out the ins and outs?" ”
Zhang Youcai thought to himself, there is still kung fu to joke at this time, how can you explain to the general if the sword has no eye injury, pulled out the long knife tied to his back, and said, "Am I so unbearable?" As he spoke, he moved forward and stood a little farther away in front of Zuo Chen, staring coldly at the approaching servants.
Looking at Zhang Youcai who was blocking him with a wry smile, Zuo Chen was embarrassed to really hurt his self-esteem. Originally, I wanted to end the battle quickly, as long as I asked for the information I needed, and then I killed this person with one sword, so as not to leave behind unexpected disasters. Zuo Chen firmly believes that it is impossible for a dead person to pass back the information he sees.
"And voila! These two are already waiting there to die. Scare silly! Why didn't you know you ran away? A bearded man pointed at Zuo Chen and the others, and after speaking arrogantly, he laughed.
The other two listened and laughed proudly. It seems that the prime of life and the child's life in front of him can be easily solved just by waiting for them to come easily.
