When the man in the bright light armor saw Wang Junlin, his eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart, "What a burly man." ”

Compared with most people in this era, Wang Junlin's physical advantages are already very obvious, coupled with the extremely hard training, his muscles are not showy, and he gives people a very well-proportioned and powerful feeling.

"The blood stains on this leopard skin are still there, and you hunted the leopard?" Although this person secretly praised the body shape of King's Landing, his expression and demeanor were very arrogant.

Wang Junlin was quite disgusted by this person's arrogance, but his face was silent, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "This golden leopard was hunted in the lower place. ”

The man's eyes were even more appreciative, and he said: "This general is Han Ziliang, the general of Tianshui County's Cheqi Mansion, and wants to accept you as a personal soldier, are you willing?" ”

Wang Junlin was stunned when he heard this, hesitated slightly, and said: "Thank you for the favor of the general, I don't want to join the army at the moment." ”

Han Ziliang's face suddenly sank slightly, but he was of noble birth, and he had just arrived in Tianshui County to take office, so he would not do anything to force people to persecute him in public.

With a cold snort, Han Ziliang turned around and left, and the scribe and a group of cavalry followed closely.

Wang Junlin watched Han Ziliang and his entourage enter a restaurant a hundred steps away, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Just kidding, who is this Han Ziliang? What is the bottom line? He didn't know at all, if he wasn't forced to do so, how could he sell himself in a daze.

"I want to sell this leopard skin for three hundred hangs, and if anyone wants to, they can trade it on the spot." After this incident just now, Wang Junlin suddenly found that the act of carrying the leopard skin to sell on the street today was a bit eye-catching, maybe it would cause some trouble, he didn't want to stay here longer, he just wanted to sell the leopard skin as soon as possible and leave quickly.

However, at this moment, someone outside the crowd shouted: "This leopard skin is a rare thing, my son bought it!" ”

As soon as this voice came out, the street suddenly fell silent, and many people's faces changed and retreated as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.

I saw seven people swaggering outside the crowd, the leader was a young man in a brocade robe, and the other six were all wearing black guard uniforms. This young man is none other than Zhang Hongmeng, who robbed the people's daughter in Shetang Village yesterday.

Everyone was obviously extremely afraid of Zhang Hongmeng and others, and they retreated one after another, not daring to fight for leopard skins, Chen Xiaoliu was even more frightened, and Wang Junlin also secretly scolded his mother, thinking that he was really unlucky to meet this scumbag today.

Although Zhang's family is nothing in Tianshui County, it is a tyrant in Qingshui County, and it is like a local emperor in Maiji Town.

Zhang Hongmeng glanced at Wang Junlin and Chen Xiaoliu, and saw that the two of them were dressed in shabby civilian clothes, so he didn't bother to take a second look, and said arrogantly: "I bought this leopard skin, you can make a price!" ”

Wang Junlin knew that this person was not easy to mess with, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he hesitated a little and said, "I will sell this leopard skin for a hundred hangings." ”

In order not to cause trouble, he directly pressed the price from 300 hangs to 100 hangs. But Zhang Hongmeng's face sank, and he said: "How can there be such an expensive leopard skin, give you a hanging of money and get out, and the leopard skin will return to the son." ”

Wang Junlin's face changed slightly, he found that he still underestimated this person's shamelessness, next to Chen Xiaoliu lowered his head and pulled Wang Junlin's arm tightly, suggesting that he take a bunch of money and leave quickly, but after Wang Junlin's face changed for a while, he hesitated in his heart and did not agree immediately.

Zhang Hongmeng saw that Wang Junlin dared not listen to his words, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice: "My son just suddenly remembered that a money leopard raised by our family was killed, and now my son suspects that it was the two of you who did it, and my son wants to take you to the official!" ”

Wang Junlin's face changed greatly, he directly pulled out the firewood knife on his waist, endured the murderous intent in his heart, and said: "This leopard skin belongs to you, let the two of us leave." ”

Zhang Hongmeng didn't put Wang Junlin in his eyes at all, waved his hand, and shouted: "Dare to use a knife against this son, take them down for this son, if you dare to resist, you will be killed." ”

"Little Liu, you run first, I'll block them." After Wang Junlin finished speaking in a hurry, he pushed Chen Xiaoliu back, and at the same time, he had already met him with a firewood knife, and knocked the three guards to the ground in three or two strokes.

At this time, Wang Junlin still didn't want to kill, just injured these guards, but just when he put down the fifth guard, he suddenly heard an exclamation behind him, turned his head to look, his face suddenly turned blue, Chen Xiaoliu was caught by the last guard and Zhang Hongmeng, and the guard held a long knife on Chen Xiaoliu's neck.

Zhang Hongmeng was very proud, laughed wildly, and said, "You are very good at fighting, right?" Put down the knife and let my men tie you up, or I'll cut his throat right now. ”

Wang Junlin would not make a stupid move to be slaughtered by others, because he knew that this would not only not save Chen Xiaoliu, but would also trap himself inside, with Zhang Hongmeng's ruthlessness, the two of them would definitely die.

It's just that although Wang Junlin is not a good person, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he can't do it when he sees Zhang Hongmeng take Chen Xiaoliu away.

Staring at Zhang Hongmeng deadly, Wang Junlin was murderous in his heart, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and thought hard about countermeasures in his mind.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he turned his head to look at the restaurant a hundred steps away. Through the window, he saw Han Ziliang sitting in the box on the second floor looking at this side.

After a little hesitation, a trace of determination flashed in Wang Junlin's eyes, he glanced at Zhang Hongmeng coldly, and walked towards the restaurant. He knew that Zhang Hongmeng would not kill Chen Xiaoliu at this time.

Zhang Hongmeng was inexplicably chilled by Wang Junlin's eyes, and he actually had the idea of quickly staying away from Wang Junlin, he waved his hand, and the guards escorted Chen Xiaoliu away, he had already thought about it, and when he went back, he called more people to come and kill Wang Junlin.

……

"General, Xiaomin Wang Junlin is willing to follow the general, and only asks the general to protect me after I provoke the Zhang family." In the restaurant box, Wang Junlin bowed down and said to Han Ziliang.

"Your name is King's Landing, and Ben will remember it. As long as you don't kill the father and son of the Zhang family, you will be burdened. This is the Ben General Pro Soldier Token, which you hold. Remember, after the incident, go to the Tianshui County Cheqi Mansion to find the general, this will arrange a military registration for you, if you don't come, you will be a deserter from my Great Sui, according to my Great Sui law, you will commit a capital crime. Han Ziliang took a deep look at Wang Junlin, just now Wang Junlin made a move in his eyes, and the high combat power was still above his expectations, especially acting decisively, which was very in line with his temperament.

This time, he tried to come to the northwest as a general, because he got the news in advance that the imperial court was going to move troops against Tuyuhun in the Qilian Mountain area, and he came to make war achievements. And if Wang Junlin is a personal soldier by his side, his own safety on the battlefield will be more guaranteed. So Han Ziliang agreed to Wang Junlin's request without hesitation.

Wang Junlin's heart was awe-inspiring, he took the token, bowed, and walked out of the restaurant.

Selling the leopard skin at a low price of fifty hangings, and easily getting rid of the two stalkers sent by Zhang Hongmeng, Wang Junlin purchased some things in the town and left Maiji Town.

……

"General, the Zhang family advocates that although Qingyu is as lustful as his son, this person is a ruthless character, and he can be regarded as a character. Although Wang Junlin's martial arts are not weak, he may be inferior in means and mentality, if the general does not make a move, Wang Junlin may be victimized by it. After Wang Junlin left, the middle-aged man dressed as a literati said to Han Ziliang.

Han Ziliang glanced at the middle-aged man with some surprise, and said: "Mr. Huang, why don't you talk about this Zhang Qingyu first, Mr. Huang provided information about important people in Tianshui County before, such as Zhang Qingyu, such a small person, I will not take a closer look." ”

Mr. Huang nodded and said: "Liu Wenzhi, the last magistrate of Qingshui County, left with hatred was done by Zhang Qingyu, and this Zhang Qingyu was able to cover the sky in Qingshui County, and his power was not only limited to Qingshui County, but also in the Zhang family in Tianshui County's Cheqi Mansion and County Government. In addition, I heard that the Zhang family has business dealings with several large tribes in Tuyuhun, and the energy is not small, and the Zhang family may be used in the imperial court's war against Tuyuhun this time. The most important thing is that the Zhang family also has people in the capital. ”

"Oh! There are also people in the capital, who are they? Han Zi asked curiously.

"Zhang Qingyu has a daughter, who is the concubine of Qiu Baihan, the secretary of the Shangshu Provincial Officials' Department." Mr. Huang said.

Qiu Baihan ...... The concubine of Qiu Rui, King of Changping? Han Ziliang said.

"Exactly." Mr. Huang said.

"If Zhang Qingyu's daughter is a concubine of the son of the king of Changping, the general will still be jealous, but it is only a concubine, and my Han family is not in sight. As for this King's Landing, I have a different opinion from my husband. ”

Speaking of this, Han Ziliang paused for a moment and said: "Because Ben Jiang can see that Wang Junlin is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and although the Zhang family is quite powerful in Tianshui County, and can even cover the sky in Qingshui County, but that is only in the officialdom and when facing ordinary people, and Wang Junlin is neither an official nor an ordinary civilian." Of course, this is also because the Zhang family has a short time and has no background. ”

When Mr. Huang heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "What the general said is extremely true, but if the general does not agree to shelter, Wang Junlin will probably not dare to do anything." ”

……

In the night, the town of Maiji was silent, and in the faint light of the stars and moon, a watchman walked through the street with a lantern and banging on a bang, and the place where he walked was immediately covered in darkness again.

When the husband was gone, a dark figure flashed through the street, and touched the largest house in town, dressed in a black night suit, carrying a longbow, holding a short knife, and wearing cloth shoes with thick soft soles, and his voice was inaudible.

This person is none other than Wang Junlin, and this mansion is the main residence of the Zhang family, a tyrant in Qingshui County.

Wang Junlin came to the corner of the courtyard wall and squatted, holding his breath as if he was one with the darkness, and the sound of a dog's breathing came from the other end of the courtyard wall, Wang Junlin took out a piece of dried meat prepared in advance and threw it to the other side of the wall.
