Volume 1 The Eagle Flies at the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 20 The Tactics of the Suspicious Soldiers
In the dark room, Zheng Sanshan and the two guards held weapons in their hands, and their eyes watched Zheng Du with a helpless face without blinking.
Zheng Du said in a dumb voice: "Sanshan, don't you just want to believe in Uncle Wei?" Although I am a member of the Heavenly Master's Dao, I have no malice here! ”
Zheng Sanshan said impatiently: "Don't bother talking, if you really care about your uncle and nephew, why don't you tell the truth?" Now I am told how to believe in you! ”
Suddenly there was the sound of a police gong outside the door, followed by the voices of people inside and outside the dock fort. Several people were taken aback, and Zheng Sanshan said in a deep voice: "You two go and see what's going on!" ”
The two guards said yes and ran out the door.
Zheng Du saw Zheng Sanshan's look uncertain, and looked out of the door from time to time, and took the opportunity to say: "Sanshan, I am your uncle after all, you might as well let me go!" ”
Zheng Sanshan said angrily: "What are you talking about! If I let you go back, I am afraid that there will be no peace in this valley again, and you ......."
Seeing a strange look flashing in Zheng Du's eyes, he looked behind him, and couldn't help sneering: "Don't play tricks in front of me, I've been able to ...... you tricks since I was a child."
Suddenly, he was hit hard in the back of his head, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.
A black-clothed masked man flashed in ghostly, and the cold light in his hand had already cut the ropes that bound Zheng Du's hands and feet.
Zheng Du moved his hands and feet, looked at Zheng Sanshan who fell to the ground, and said worriedly: "He doesn't matter, right?" ”
The black-clothed masked man sneered, "He just fainted!" You'd better take care of yourself! ”
Zheng Du said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me, dare to ask ......"
The black-clothed masked man interrupted impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not too late for us to escape, come with me!" ”
Zheng Du didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed out after the man.
As soon as he ran not far away, someone shouted, "What is it?" ”
The black-clothed masked man moved in his hands, and the people who stood in the way fell to the ground screaming.
Zheng Du saw that this person was strong and strong, and he was like a bamboo all the way, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
rushed all the way to the outside of the fort, but saw that there was a hustle and bustle all around, and people were shouting and running everywhere, and the castle was in chaos. Obviously, there was a sudden major change in the fort, and there were fewer and fewer people to intercept it.
Not long after, the two of them had already rushed out of the dock fort and rushed towards the mountain.
After running for several miles of mountain roads, the black-clothed masked man stopped and said, "They shouldn't be chasing after them!" ”
Zheng Du gasped and said, "In the lower heavenly master Dao Zheng Du, thank you friends for helping!" Please ask for your surname, and report it later! ”
The black-clothed masked man laughed strangely, took out a wooden sign and shook it in front of Zheng Du's eyes.
Zheng Du was shocked: "Huang Mu Ling! You, you are the Taipingdao Qu Shuai!? ”
The black-clothed masked man whispered, "Be quieter! Do you want us to die together? ”
Zheng Du still couldn't believe it: "You are a person from the Taiping Dao!" How could you save me? ”
The black-clothed masked man snorted coldly: "In the end, we are all of the same origin of the Dao Sect, if we teach you to die at the hands of foreign enemies, won't we fall into the prestige of my Fu Sect!" ”
Zheng Du stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of cold sweat on his head and said, "This is very true!" Thank you, Brother Dao! I just don't know how your religion came here? ”
The black-clothed masked man smiled and said, "You don't pretend in front of me, you and I don't have the same purpose?" ”
Zheng Du was shocked and said: "Taiping Dao really knows the secret of the mineral deposits in the mountains? ”
The black-clothed masked man said proudly: "Not bad! The four of us came to occupy this mountain on the orders of the great sage and good teacher. Please also ask your sect to withdraw from this mountain, and don't hurt the harmony of the two families! ”
Zheng Du exclaimed: "There are still three of you!?" ”
Immediately said dejectedly: "This time, my Heavenly Master Dao has been defeated, and I Zheng Duzi has no shame to stay in this way to hinder your sect." However, it is not up to me to be the master of the sacrificial wine, so I will ask the old man to decide. ”
The black-clothed masked man nodded and said, "Brother Zheng, don't worry!" Of course, I won't embarrass you, and I ask you to reply to your teacher as soon as possible. He said that the great sage and good teacher have words first, if the master is willing to sell this face, he should be grateful, and the two families can work together in the future! ”
Zheng Du couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's so good!" My master has long wanted to reconcile with the great sage and good teacher! If the two families make a covenant together, the east and west echo, and the world will be a big event! ”
The two of them laughed softly together.
Zheng Du suddenly remembered something: "Brother Dao! What happened in Fort just now? I look like something big is happening! ”
The black-clothed masked man said in a deep voice: "Exactly! I was also about to tell Brother Zheng about this. It seems that in addition to you and me, there are still strong enemies watching in this valley! ”
Zheng Du lost his voice and said, "Who is it?" ”
The black-clothed masked man shook his head and said: "The situation is still unknown, I only know that the enemy is extremely strong, and Fang is fighting with the masters in the valley, so I took the opportunity to sneak in and rescue Brother Zheng!"
Zheng Du said in a trembling voice: "It's not good! I will definitely report this matter to the master as soon as possible! ”
A sneer came from behind him, and the two of them turned their heads in shock.
Gao Shun's murderous face flashed from behind a tree, and Sen Ran said: "What a bold thief! Dare to break into the fort and hurt people! Stay alive! ”
The black-clothed masked man whispered to Zheng Du: "Brother Zheng is injured, it is not appropriate to do it, please leave as soon as possible!" In front of me, there are three protectors of Taiping Road! I'm going to pester him! ”
Zheng Du said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Dao, I will definitely ask Shijun for Chen Guijiao's help!" With that, he turned and rushed out.
Gao Shun said angrily: "Zheng Duxiu is leaving!" The figure jumped up and grabbed Zheng Du.
The black-clothed masked man stepped forward and blocked Gao Shun.
Zheng Du only listened to the sound of energy behind him, how dare he hesitate and run desperately.
Suddenly heard a scream, looked back, and saw Gao Shun blasting the black-clothed masked man away with a punch, and the blood in the black-clothed masked mouth spurted wildly, and he couldn't live anymore.
Zheng Du saw that the black-clothed masked man was strong before, but he lost his life in a few photos in Gao Shun's hands, and he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he escaped with his old life.
ran through several mountains in one go, and saw that Gao Shun did not catch up, so he leaned on a tree with weak hands and feet and gasped for breath.
When I unintentionally looked up, I couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see three corpses lying in the open space not far in front of me.
He cautiously approached, and saw that the three deceased were dressed in gray and covered in blood, all with their eyes wide open and their faces frightened.
Zheng Du reached into the arms of the deceased, took out a token, looked at it fixedly, his face couldn't help but change miserably, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and said in disbelief: "The three protectors of the Taiping Dao!" ”
He was terrified, who was the enemy? The three masters of Taiping Dao were wiped out.
Zheng Duyuan was not a cowardly person, but all kinds of terrible encounters in the past few days were the only ones he had encountered in his life, and he had become a frightened bird. He looked around, only to feel that the forest was gloomy, and there were murderous intentions hidden everywhere, and he couldn't help but cry out, and rushed away with a crawl.
Behind a big tree, the three of them turned out, and it turned out to be Gao Shun, Nan Ying, and the black-clothed masked man.
Nan Ying smiled and said, "Brother Yang's play is really good!" I see that Zheng Du's guts are frightened! ”
The man took off his mask, it was Yang Kun, and he laughed and said, "This is not a good arrangement by Brother Nan!" ”
Gao Shun also chuckled for a while, and said: "This plan is wonderful, not only confusing the public, but also cutting off the Taiping Dao's intention to hunt down and kill Brother Yang, mistakenly thinking that he has died here." But Brother Xian, can your suspicious tactics really scare the Heavenly Master? ”
Nanying said confidently: "Big brother, don't worry! Even if it can't frighten them, at least it can make them suspicious, and they will never dare to attack rashly in the short term! ”
Then he smiled and said: "However, we still have to strengthen our precautions, please Brother Yang immediately send the tigers to be responsible for patrolling the mountain, and the eldest brother should send people to investigate the situation outside the mountain as soon as possible." ”
"Bang" Zhang Xiu slammed his palm on the case, looked at Zheng Du, who was standing in silence with his hands hanging down in front of him, and said coldly: "You mean that you are the only one who came back alive, and you were rescued by the people of Taiping Dao!" ”
Zheng Du said in a trembling voice: "Master forgive sins!" I have truthfully replied to the specific situation, and it is really because of the sneak attack of a strong enemy that I have been defeated. ”
Zhang Xiu said angrily: "It's clear that you are incompetent!" Dare to speak wisely! ”
Turning his head to a white-faced young man in his twenties beside him, he said, "Gongqi, as my Heavenly Master Dao Great Sacrifice Wine, what do you think about this matter?" ”
That person was Zhang Lu, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his slender and delicate eyes: "If Zheng Du's words are true, this matter is indeed extraordinary." It's okay for the Taiping Dao Qu Shuai to die at the hands of Gao Shun! The status of the three major protectors of Taiping Dao is above Qu Shuai, and he died silently in the barren mountains, which is a bit intriguing! ”
As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "I really can't think of any other force within a radius of thousands of miles that is so powerful that it dares to be the enemy of our two major sects at the same time!" ”
He stared at Zheng Du and said, "Do you think there is such a possibility, the three protectors of the Taiping Dao are still dead at the hands of Gao Shun and others!" ”
Zheng Du pondered for a while and said: "My subordinates think it is unlikely, according to the dead Taiping Dao Marshal, Gao Shun and others are fighting against a strong enemy, so they are looking for an opportunity to rescue me." Then we fled all the way, Gao Shun chased after us, and when I found the bodies of several people in Taiping Road, Gao Shun still did not catch up, and the blood stains of the corpses had already dried up. From the point of view of time, it should not be the hand of Gao Shun and others. ”
Zhang Lu sighed and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case!" ”
Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed with a heavy murderous intent: "What a gut!" How dare you be the enemy of my Heavenly Master! I'll order the masters of the Qi Sect to kill this mountain first, and then slowly dig up the mineral deposits! ”
"Master, don't do it!" Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "We can't act rashly at this time!" ”
Zhang Xiu was puzzled: "Why? We have geographical advantage! Just as the soldiers are fast, they will seize control of the mineral deposits in the mountains first! At this time, there are already Taiping Dao and unknown forces intervening, and if we don't do it again, won't we cheapen them in vain? ”
Zhang Lu said calmly: "Shijun, please think about it, in this confrontation in the mountains, we will just pay it back, but we will fold a few small roles." But Taiping Dao has lost three protectors and a Qu Shuai, with Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang brothers as the style, how can they give up? They will definitely make a big move, not only to be ashamed of their blood, but also to swear to take the gold mine! ”
Zhang Xiu sneered: "So what? Although Taiping Dao is stronger than us, this place is not where their power is, and we are afraid that he will not succeed! ”
Zhang Lu smiled: "It's not that we're afraid of him." Now that there are mysterious enemies who want to compete with Taiping Dao for gold mines, why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? If the Taiping Road wins, we can reconcile it with it and share the benefits of the gold mine; If the Taiping Road is defeated, its power will be weakened, so why don't we do it? If it is a lose-lose situation, hey, no matter how easy it is for us to take it then, Zhang Jiao will have nothing to say! ”
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but lift his spirits: "Gongqi's words are reasonable!" Kindness! So what should we do? ”
Zhang Lu showed a sly smile: "I will ask the master to repair a book immediately, and attach a generous gift to the great sage and good teacher." The first is to thank Taiping Dao for this help, the second is to express condolences for the unfortunate death of the four masters of Taiping Dao, and the third is to express the feelings of my Heavenly Master Dao who cares about the same sect of Taoism, withdraws from this battle for the treasure, and is willing to send people to assist Taiping Dao. ”
Zhang Xiu lost his voice and said, "What? We're too weak, aren't we, and we have to send someone to help them? ”
Shaking his head and saying: "No, if it is self-defeating, and the gold mine is really taken by Taiping Dao, it will really outweigh the loss!" ”
Zhang Lu persuaded: "Shijun doesn't have to worry too much. First of all, since the secret of the mineral deposits in the mountains has been revealed, if we seize it strongly, not to mention the loss of troops, it will definitely attract the covetousness of all surrounding forces, and we will become the target of public criticism, and the Taiping Dao will definitely regard us as the number one enemy. The best thing to do at the moment is to stay in the dark and wait for a while. Secondly, if you take 10,000 steps back, you really get the gold mine by the Taipingdao, as long as Zhang Jiao receives our great favor, it is still worth it! It is said that Taiping Dao is ready to move, and it will soon be revealed. And here's our chance! ”
Zhang Xiu groaned: "Gongqi is saying? ”
Zhang Lu's eyes flashed with excitement, and there was also a trace of a demonic flush on his white face: "If Taiping Dao gets the mineral deposits, it will definitely strengthen its ambition to seize the world." With their power, once an incident arises, it will sweep the world, and the government and local powerful will be firmly contained by it. And our Heavenly Master Dao is already deeply rooted in the Liang and Yi areas, and it is just when the court is overwhelmed to take Hanzhong first, and then try to benefit Liang Erzhou! At that time, you can meet with Taiping Road to draw the east and west, and share the world! Shijun, between getting a gold mine and getting half of the country, which is more important? ”
"Bang" Zhang Xiu shot the case again, but this time he turned his anger into joy, "Gongqi is really my son!" Good! It's up to you to take care of the matter! ”
He said softly: "Gongqi, you must do your best to do this well!" I have no children and no daughters, only one of your own nephews, if he wins the world one day, it is not in your hands! ”
Zhang Lu's face returned to calm, and he bowed down and said, "Shijun's life, never give up!" ”
