Chapter 143: Ambush
"Zhang, General Zhang?"
Seeing the people outside the window, Diao Chan's face instantly lost color.
Because the man who rode with them was Zhang Liao, who had been separated from them for a short time.
Seeing Zhang Liao's figure, Huaxing was also confused, and opened his mouth to say tentatively:
"General Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liao, who was riding on the horse, first glanced at Huaxing intentionally or unintentionally, and then opened his mouth to reply:
"Of course, I'll go with the master."
As soon as these words came out, the two people in the car instantly looked surprised, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Liao's gourd.
"Follow, follow me?" Hua Xing frowned and stretched his neck with a puzzled expression: "General Zhang, you're not joking, are you?" ”
After seeing Hua Xing's surprised expression, Zhang Liao said with a serious face:
"I'm not joking, I'm serious. Didn't you see that I even brought my bags? While speaking, Zhang Liao also pointed to the burden on his back.
Seeing that the burden was big and bulging, and it seemed to be filled with a lot of things, Hua Xing realized that the other party should not be joking.
But he really couldn't understand the reason for the other party's move. After a moment's hesitation, he asked again:
"Why?"
Hearing the other party ask the reason, Zhang Liao did not rush to reply, but sat on the back of the horse and was slightly stunned, and involuntarily remembered his eldest brother Lu Bu.
Since joining the army, Lu Bu has been like his eldest brother, taking Zhang Liao to fight in the east and west.
not only took care of himself in life, but also taught him a lot of martial arts, so Zhang Liao always thought that he would follow Lu Bu for the rest of his life.
But now, Lu Bu died suddenly!
The Lü Jun of that year has also become a "Gao Jun", and the bond between Zhang Liao and Lü Jun has disappeared.
So in Zhang Liao's view, there are many possibilities in his life, and he is no longer as firm as before.
On the other hand, since he had a deep exchange with Huaxing, Zhang Liao has an inexplicable good impression of this person.
Especially the last conversation at Wang Ji Noodle Restaurant made him even more impressed.
Whether it was Huaxing's concept of governing the army or his attitude towards soldiers, although Zhang Liao didn't accept it on the spot, the more he thought about it after he went back, the more reasonable he felt.
It can be said that it touched Zhang Liao on a certain level, and while he was happy and convinced, he also regarded Huaxing as a leader worth following.
But because Lu Bu was still alive at that time, and Huaxing was in the same camp as himself, even if Zhang Liao had similar ideas, he didn't really think about following Huaxing.
But now that the situation has changed greatly, not only Lu Bu is dead, but Huaxing is also leaving Lu Jun, if he leaves like this, he will probably not see him in the future.
So under the double "pressure", Zhang Liao thought about it for a long time in the house on the night he learned that Huaxing was leaving.
After much deliberation, he finally made a decision and planned to leave Lü Jun with Huaxing.
But before going along, there is one thing Zhang Liao must confirm with Huaxing, that is, whether Lu Bu was killed by him!
Although he did not reveal it to Chen Gong and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao had already analyzed through clues that Huaxing had done something with Lu Bu that day.
If Hua Xing lied, he was the real murderer of Lu Bu, and it would definitely have an impact on the matter of "following". Although I dare not say that I will definitely not leave, there will be such a hurdle in Zhang Liao's heart.
Therefore, Zhang Liao asked Hua Xing so many things about that day, just to find out whether Lu Bu was killed by Hua Xing.
As for the final result, it's barely acceptable.
Although Hua Xing had the idea of killing Lu Bu, whether it was a sneak attack from behind or a final sword, it was not Hua Xing himself who stabbed it.
In addition, judging from Hua Xing's attitude just now, he and the killer Yang Tie really don't know each other.
Therefore, in Zhang Liao's view, although Huaxing has the intention of killing, there is no murder.
At most, he had a fight with Lu Bu, not the culprit in this case, and Lu Bu's death should not be attributed to Huaxing.
So, after coming to such a conclusion, Zhang Liao felt a lot better in his heart, and the previous hesitation was all erased, and after a few minutes, he rode his horse and whipped up after him.
But at this moment, in front of Huaxing, Zhang Liao didn't bother to explain so much.
Especially the matter of secretly admiring the other party, Zhang Liao is even more unlikely to say it easily.
So after a short period of thought, I heard Zhang Liao snort softly:
"The reason? Does this need to be asked? If you run away, where can I learn the art of Qimen Dunjia? You won't forget it so quickly, will you? Master? After speaking, Zhang Liao's face finally showed the first smile of the day.
……
It's a scorching summer day, and the poplars on both sides of the road are crawling with cicadas.
Due to the slow speed of the carriage, after learning that Huaxing's destination was Yuanyuan Village, Zhang Liao ran forward alone.
But after galloping for more than 100 meters, he saw Zhang Liao suddenly pull the reins, and looked around vigilantly, as if something was not right.
Just as he was observing, he heard a sudden hostile shout from the jungle by the roadside.
Subsequently, a group of soldiers wearing Lu Jun's uniforms quickly got out and ran straight towards him.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao secretly said badly, hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran behind him, and rushed to the carriage one hundred and ten meters away at the fastest speed:
"Ride ...... Master, it's not good! There are ambushes ahead! ”
Hua Xinggang, who was sitting in the car, wondered why Zhang Liao ran back again.
As a result, as soon as he heard the word "ambush", he immediately stuck his head out of the window, looked at the road ahead, and asked with a confused face:
"What? Ambush? Ambush whom? ”
"Hey! Who else can ambush? It's definitely yours to clean up! Can you still ambush me? Zhang Liao said anxiously:
"Don't ask, just turn around and run away, they should be there soon."
Hua Xing didn't understand why someone ambushed him on the road, and after thinking about it, he saw him say something and asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”
"I didn't count them, but there were seventy or eighty people, and they were all wearing Lu Jun's uniform."
"Oh? It turned out that my own people wanted to arrest me. After nodding, Hua Xing said again: "Is there cavalry?" ”
"Not really. They all hid in the woods, and there were no horses to be seen. Ah! Why do you have so many questions, coachman, turn around and go another way! Zhang Liao looked anxious.
"Wait!" But the move was quickly stopped by Huaxing:
"The other party knew that we had horses, but they only ambushed us with infantry, and they dared to show their faces without seeing the carriage...... Alas! I guess we're already surrounded by each other, and we won't be able to run even if we turn around. ”
"Huh? No way? I didn't find a ...... in the back."
But as soon as he was halfway through speaking, Zhang Liao was silent.
Because he had already seen that, as Hua Xing had said, there was also a group of pursuers behind them who were quickly rushing towards them.
Like the soldiers he had just seen, this group of people was also wearing the uniforms of the Lu army, and it seemed that they were the same group of people.
