The next morning, after Zhang Heng sent Yao Ermei to the pancake shop, he watched her get busy before leaving quietly, so as not to make her sad again.

After the carriage left the city, Zhang Heng said to Tie Shan, who was driving: "Tie Shan, are we going back the same way?" ”

Tie Shan turned his head and said, "No, we will go back to take another road, that road is a grassland of a flat river, the road is better, and the scenery will be better." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng became interested and said; "That's good, you can enjoy the grassland scenery."

"Prairie, that should be beautiful!"

Master Li is also very much looking forward to this.

At the top of a mountain, Xue Lin was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at an inn below, his eyes were full of gloom.

At this time, a person came over and said to him: "Big brother, our people in Jing County have come back just now, and Zhang Heng and they are on this road." ”

Hearing this, Xue Lin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Okay, and the inn below is their only way, let's send him on his way here." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, we will let him report on Huangquan Road."

The surrounding people also echoed it.

"This time, the gang leader gave a death order, we must get rid of him, otherwise we don't have to go back, this is a good place to bury people, so that he won't die and still be ghosted."

Xue Lin took out the dagger on his waist and stretched out his fingers to rub them back and forth on the blade.

After a few hours of carriage walking, the terrain became more and more flat, and the nearby mountains slowly disappeared.

Zhang Heng saw that now that they had come to the grassland, looking at the endless grassland, his mood was suddenly better.

Master Li looked at the grassland outside from the window, and said with a smile: "The prairie is really beautiful, I have only heard of it before, but what I see with my own eyes today is ten times more beautiful than the grassland in their mouths." ”

"Yes! It's so beautiful. ”

Xiaoya was also fascinated, and the whole person was intoxicated by the beauty of nature.

Zhang Heng couldn't help but laugh when he saw them like this, the charm of nature is so irresistible.

In the afternoon, the group came to the inn, ready to stop and rest for a while.

"Guest officer, come, drink tea."

A fellow came up and poured them tea.

"Let me ask, how far can I get out of this grassland?"

Zhang Heng asked.

The guy chatted with them: "It will take several days, and the nearest inn to us is a day's journey, so the guest officers will stay here for one night first, and then set off tomorrow morning, and now it is not safe in the wild, and wolves, tigers and leopards are infested from time to time." ”

Zhang Heng thought about it, and also felt that it was indeed a very dangerous thing to rush on the grassland at night, so he planned to stay.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside.

Immediately, a group of people swaggered into the store, revealing a violent atmosphere all over their bodies.

Zhang Heng looked up and saw that Zheng Xiang, who was pretending to be a ghost before, was also in the crowd, and it seemed that his status was not low, his face couldn't help but darken, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Yo, I was still thinking about when I would be able to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet so soon, as the saying goes! The road is really narrow. ”

After Zheng Xiang saw Zhang Heng, he walked over directly and looked at him with a playful face.

"Third child, who is this person?"

A big man walked over and asked.

"Big brother, this is the person who did bad things for us before, I met here today, fate!"

Zheng Xiang also laughed.

After He Zhanshan heard this, he also reached out and stroked his beard, and said, "It's this kid who is bad for us!" He will be slaughtered and fed to the dogs, but the two women next to him are quite a sign that they can take back. ”

At this time, the faces of Master Li and Xiao Ya were also gloomy, and their hands were tightly pulled together.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Xiang and the others and said, "You want to kill us?" Even if it is death, I will pull a few cushions, which of you wants to die? ”

"You're quite guts, but we don't eat this, we people are licking blood from the knife edge, and we have long put life and death out of the way."

Zheng Xiang had a joking face.

Zhang Heng saw that there were bandits all around, and with only a few guards from Tieshan, he couldn't escape at all, and now he could only see if he could outwit him.

He Zhanshan sat on the table and said with an impatient expression: "Third child, what nonsense are you talking to them, you directly slaughtered those men, and those two women made the brothers happy." ”

Zheng Xiang rubbed his chin and said, "That's not bad." ”

Zhang Heng saw that he was hesitating, knowing that he didn't want to kill them so simply, so he greeted him and said: "It's very simple if you want to kill us, let you want us to be afraid of you, don't dream, do you dare to bet with me?" ”

Zheng Xiang was interested and said, "What are you betting on?" ”

Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said: "I have chili peppers on my carriage, if your people can eat it without spitting it out, I will cut off a finger, which should make you happy!" ”

Zheng Xiang thought for a while and said, "Interesting, what if our people spit out the chili peppers?" ”

Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said, "Then let my people go." ”

"Okay, one at a time, I'd like to see how many of your fingers are going to be cut off."

Zheng Xiang also agreed with great interest.

"But do you mean what you say? Bandits have always been dishonest, you have to swear to do it? ”

Zhang Hengke didn't believe them.

Zheng Xiang looked at him coldly and said, "Who do you think you are?" Dare to tell me the conditions, believe it or not, I'll kill you right away. ”

Zhang Heng spread his hands and said, "Then you can kill us!" ”

Zheng Xiang couldn't help but be angry when he saw that he had the ability to kill me, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of person who was not afraid of death, and he thought that he must make him look good later, so he said: "Okay, I swear, how do you want me to swear?" ”

Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said: "You swear by these brothers of yours, if you break the contract, then they will all die violently." ”

"Okay, boy, I swear."

Zheng Xiang also gritted his teeth and agreed.

Immediately, Zhang Heng also asked people to take out the chili peppers from the carriage, this time in order to make it easy to carry, so he didn't bring much, all of them were very spicy chili peppers.

Then he opened the bag of peppers and said to them, "Which of you will taste it?" ”

Zheng Xiang glanced at a few of his subordinates and said, "You guys go and taste it, no matter how unpleasant it is, hold back for me, don't spit it out, I'm going to cut off his five fingers this time." ”

Immediately, those people also walked up, looking disappreciative, and directly picked up the chili pepper and stuffed it into their mouths.

Zhang Heng looked at them like this, and probably didn't even know what a chili pepper was.
