Zhang Ji didn't know what far-reaching changes happened to the Changsha Yishi after he left, at this time, he was following He Shun and more than a dozen other black tiger thieves from Luyang to Zhushan on the west side of Kunyang.
On the way, Zhang Ji suppressed the excitement in his heart, and cautiously wanted to ask He Shun questions from his mouth, asking He Shun questions such as "What kind of person is Leader Zhou", "When did Brother He follow Leader Zhou" and so on.
But it's a pity that He Shun himself was selected by Zhao Yu from Niu Heng's many subordinates as a henchman because he could keep the secret, so naturally he wouldn't reveal anything to Zhang Ji halfway.
After all, not all of the black tiger thieves he brought this time knew the 'leader's secret', and He Shun, who understood the stakes, naturally had to take precautions, lest the secret of his own leader leak the news.
At noon on April 24, He Shun arrived at Zhushan with Zhang Ji and three people and a group of black tiger thieves.
At this time, Zhao Yu had also brought Jingnu and Niu Heng to Zhushan, so that the mountain was full of black tiger thieves who acted as sentinels.
When encountering a group of sentinels, He Shun stepped forward to exchange a few words with the other party, and then came back and told Zhang Jidao: "Brother Zhang Ji, the leader is already waiting outside a hunting house on the mountain. β
Hearing this, Zhang Ji couldn't help but lift his heart, and the feeling of suffering from gains and losses became stronger and stronger.
A moment later, the group of them, led by the black tiger thief sentries, came to the vicinity of a dilapidated hunting house on the mountain.
At this time, Zhang Ji saw from a distance that there was a bonfire lit in the open space in front of the hunting house, and beside the bonfire, two people with masks were sitting on the wooden pier next to the bonfire, as if they were roasting something.
On the side, I saw the reckless man a few nights ago, standing with his arms folded, looking over here.
At this time, He Shun turned his head to Zhang Ji and said, "Brother Zhang Ji, you two followers ......"
Zhang Ji immediately understood, and instructed the two Jiangdong soldiers accompanying him: "You two are waiting for me here." β
"Brother Zhang......" The two Jiangdong soldiers showed a worried look on their faces, but they saw Zhang Ji waving his hand and said, "It's okay, this He Shun brother can be trusted." β
He didn't believe that He Shun would harm them, after all, if He Shun had the intention to harm them, the three of them had already been taken down by these black tiger thieves in front of the tomb of the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife, so why did the other party deceive him into coming here?
He Shun smiled, and immediately raised his hand and said, "Please." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Ji nodded, licked his somewhat dry lips, and walked towards the bonfire in the distance.
It seemed that the two masked men also noticed him, and slowly stood up and looked at him.
"It's really going to be...... That one?'
Zhang Ji was excited.
However, before he could get in front of Zhou Hu, the reckless man stopped him and pointed to the saber at his waist.
Seeing that Zhang Ji was about to untie the weapon on his body, Zhou Hu opened his mouth and said in a tone that was both familiar and slightly unfamiliar to Zhang Ji: "It's okay, Brother Niu Heng, let him come over." β
Hearing this, the reckless man named Niu Heng stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Ji.
Nodding twice at the reckless man, Zhang Ji slowly walked to Zhao Yu, stopped about a zhang away from the other party, and hugged his fists in greeting: "Zhou ...... Leader of the week. β
"Huh."
Under Zhang Ji's gaze, he saw that Zhou Hu slowly raised his hand and gently took off the mask on his face, revealing a face that resembled Zhao Yu, the second son of the Zhao family in Luyang......
"Zhang Ji, long time no see."
Revealing his original appearance, Zhao Yu greeted with a smile.
γβ¦β¦ True...... It's really the second son?!'
Zhang Jiru was struck by lightning and looked at Zhao Yu with wide eyes.
I have to say that since nearly seven years have passed, the second son in front of him is no longer the immature face he once was, only six or seven points alike, but Zhang Ji can still recognize at a glance that the one in front of him is the second son he vowed to protect back then.
"Bang!"
Zhang Ji, who reacted, immediately knocked on one knee, and with full excitement, he hugged his fists and said: "Zhang Ji, I've seen the second son!" β¦β¦ At that time, the protector was unfavorable, and he was willing to accept the punishment. β
"Huh."
Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhang Ji, who was excited, up.
From the side, Jingnu also took off the mask on her face and greeted with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't come unharmed." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Ji stared at Jing Nujiao's beautiful face for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "Are you ...... Silent Girl? β
"Brother Zhang only recognized me?" Jingnu said angrily. city
Zhang Ji smiled awkwardly, gestured with his hands and said: "The second son is still six or seven points similar to back then, I can still recognize it, but you ......"
Looking at the slim Jing Nu, he praised from the bottom of his heart: "It's really changed too much." β
"Really?"
Jingnu looked at Zhao Yu with some surprise, but saw Zhao Yu reach out and touch her hair, and said affectionately: "Ah, it has become more and more cute, and it is no longer the little girl from the past." β
"Who's the little girl......"
Pretending to be dissatisfied, she muttered in a low voice, and the quiet girl puffed out her face shyly, and her pretty face turned crimson.
From the side, Niu Heng no longer stared at Zhang Ji with vigilant eyes at this moment, grinning.
Looking at Zhao Yu and then at Jingnu, Zhang Ji had thousands of excitement in his heart at the moment, but he didn't know how to express it, and in the end, he said from the bottom of his heart: "Great...... That's great. β
Looking at Zhang Ji, who was flushed with excitement, Zhao Yu smiled and said with relief: "Zhang Ji, you must have a lot of things you want to ask me, right?" It just so happens that I have something to ask you...... While waiting for you, I roasted some meat with Jingnu, and I waited to sit down and talk slowly, how about it? β
"Yes!"
Zhang Ji hugged his fists excitedly.
Immediately, Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Niu Heng, and Zhang Ji sat down around the bonfire.
At this time, Zhang Ji gradually calmed down, and he asked curiously: "Second son, why are you ......" He glanced at Niu Heng and said euphemistically: "...... How did he become the leader of the 'Black Tiger', a team of heroes in the green forest? β
Hearing Zhang Ji's statement, Zhao Yu and Jingnu couldn't help laughing.
From the side, Niu Heng took out a wine bag from his arms, and as soon as he took a sip, he heard Zhang Ji's twisted question, and he said with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to be so restrained." You are Ah Hu's close person, Ah Hu is our brother, then we are also brothers, come! β
As he spoke, he handed the wine bag in his hand to Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji couldn't understand the relationship between this reckless man and his second son, but he couldn't refute the other party's kindness, plus he hadn't tasted wine for a while, and he was hungry in his heart, so he drank several sips, and Niu Heng was very happy to see it, and praised him with a thigh: "Good, refreshing, it's a man!" β
Zhao Yu chuckled and shook his head, but the quiet girl from the side said without being salty: "Brother Niu, how many times have you been persuaded to drink on an empty stomach...... By the way, where did you get this wine? Didn't you run out of your share? It can't be for the brothers below to be honored, right? β
Hearing this, Niu Hengfang's boldness suddenly disappeared, and he took the cow bag from Zhang Ji's hand and hid it in his arms, and said with a flickering eye: "Nonsense, this is my ...... I didn't smuggle it from Chen Cai......"
Seeing that Niu Heng didn't admit himself, Jingnu was angry and funny, and was about to speak, but saw Zhao Yu interjecting with a smile: "Okay, okay, happy today, drink some ......."
"Ah Hu is right." Niu Heng raised his eyebrows, and continued with the words: "When I met Brother Zhang today, I am happy, just drink some...... Do you say, Brother Zhang? β
At this time, Zhang Ji had also seen that this reckless man was a lover with no heart, and nodded with a wry smile.
Seeing this, Jingnu shook her head helplessly, handed Niu Heng a few skewers of cooked meat, and persuaded: "Eat some meat to cushion your stomach first......"
"Okay." Niu Heng nodded again and again, but when Jingnu turned around and handed Zhang Ji a few skewers of meat, he hurriedly took a big sip like a thief.
Zhao Yu looked secretly funny, and after shaking his head slightly, he didn't care about Niu Heng eating and drinking, and told the past in a slightly embarrassed tone: "...... Back then, you, Ma Cheng and Cao An successively broke off for me and Jingnu, and led away the pursuers, and the two of us escaped by luck and fled to Yingshan in the north...... If I remember correctly, I hid for two days near here, a little southwest. At that time, it began to snow in the sky, and the two of us had nowhere to hide, and we couldn't find anything to eat, so we relied on Jingnu picking some wild fruits to feed ...... stomach."
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm to Jingnu with some emotion.
Jingnu understood, endured shyness and put her hand on Zhao Yu's palm, both shy and sweet to be held tightly by her beloved.
Zhang Ji then understood why Zhao Yu asked him to meet here, and whispered with a shameful face: "It's a lowly and incompetent ......"
"Huh."
Zhao Yu raised his hand to reject Zhang Ji's words, and said with a smile: "If you blame yourself at every turn, then I won't say it." β
Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "It's a lowly job, please talk about it, second son." β
Seeing this, Zhao Yu continued: "...... At that time, the two of us waited in the mountains for three days, and we didn't see you, Ma Cheng, and Cao An come back, so I guess that you and others may have met with accidents...... We were originally going to go to Yexian to join Mao Gong, but we never thought that Mao Gong was angry and angry because of my family's affairs at that time, and unfortunately died violently. Just when the two of us had nowhere to go, we happened to meet a group of 'Ying Mountain Bandits' who were robbing the village......"
"It's Chen Mo and Liu Tu, right?" Niu Heng, who had eaten a mouth full of oil, interjected with a smile.
"Yes."
Zhao Yu nodded with a smile, and then said to Zhang Ji: "At that time, it was gradually entering the cold winter, and as soon as Jingnu and I were together, I changed my name and surname to join this group of bandits, and decided to gain a foothold in this nest of bandits, and then consider the plan of revenge...... In the blink of an eye, it's been almost seven years. β
Although Zhao Yu said it very simply, Zhang Ji listened with excitement.
You must know that the second son was only ten years old at the time, a ten-year-old half-year-old son, with a ten-year-old girl, in order to survive and avenge a nest of bandits, after seven years, finally became the leader of this gang of bandits, it is not difficult to guess the difficulty.
And just when Zhang Ji sighed, he suddenly saw Zhao Yu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, that's all for the experience of the two of me...... What about you, Zhang Ji? β
"The bearing of the second son is far better than that of the year......
Seeing that Zhao Yu had revealed the suffering of the year in two sentences, Zhang Ji secretly sighed in his heart.
In addition to emotion, he put down the barbecue in his hand and told the experience in a deep voice.
