Chapter 43: A Strange Situation and Suspicions

"It's the Deng family," the king of the cottage asked, standing on the wooden barrier.

I saw that under the wooden wall, a heavy soft armor rode a long horse and tightened the reins, fixed his body at a distance of 100 meters, and said loudly: "Exactly, but the king of the cottage is coming?" ”

The king of Zhongshan Zhai received an affirmative reply, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as previously agreed, the Deng family did not betray his promise, and his family was stationed here for a long time, every day and every night, for fear that the Wang family in Hucheng would attack the camp at night.

"It is here, please also invite the main master of the Deng family to come and speak" The king of the cottage played Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and he would not show his face if he didn't see the main master, and led the wolf into the room to bring this group of military horse pioneers into the camp.

"Please wait a minute, go and inform me next"

Seeing that the general rode around and left, the king of the cottage saw that the latter walked so cleanly, kicked down the wooden barrier and returned to the camp, and instructed his soldiers to keep an eye on this place at all times, and report it in time if there is a situation.

It didn't take long for the central army tent to report respectfully that Luozhen had sent the Deng family to come.

The king of Zhongshan Village called the leaders behind him, and hurriedly got up and went to the main gate to greet him.

"Lord, the king of Zhongshan Cottage is suspicious, and he is not an honest person," Xun Liang said on horseback beside Deng Xinzhi

Deng Xinzhi nodded expressionlessly, pulled the close-fitting heavy armor on his body, glanced at the accompanying guards behind him, and said firmly in his heart: "Although the king of Zhongshan is the lord of the city, he is embarrassed to be of great use, that is, bandits and hooligans."

Xun Liang did not speak out against it, this is indeed the case, but he did not underestimate it, even if the king of the city and the walled city was small, with a population of nearly 10,000 people, how could he survive for so long without proper management.

The two discussed the direction of the next meeting, but they didn't know that the gate of the village was slowly opening at the moment, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a middle-aged man standing at the gate of the village, with a face full of meat, not to mention fierceness, and the back of the head was tied and knotted, and the back of the head was quite thick.

Xun Liang said secretly, this person's appearance is also strange, it is still necessary to remind, and he quietly signaled: "It's good to be careful, this person has a backbone in the back of his head."

Deng Xinzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, just to make it easier to see more clearly, to understand slightly, and drove forward, and the guards behind him hurriedly approached and accompanied him.

"The king of Zhongshanzhai is arrogant, Deng Mou yearns for a long time" Deng Xinzhi got off the horse first, stood in front of the king of Zhongshanzhai and said politely: "When I see it today, I get what I want."

The king of Zhongshan Cottage also knew that the other party was just pretentious, and he didn't pierce it, so he said angrily: "I've been looking forward to Deng Gongzi for a long time, come!" After entering the camp, he turned sideways to lead the way.

"Thank you to the king of the cottage"

Deng Xinzhi stepped forward and followed, led by the free guard of the horse behind him.

"The king of Zhongshan cottage helped this time, Deng is grateful" Deng Xinzhi opened his preface, so as not to be cold.

"Deng Gongzi shows sincerity, can I not help?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a kind smile on their faces, the king of Zhongshan Cottage showed his closeness, grabbed Deng Xinzhi's arm, and walked towards the center.

Deng Xinzhi dealt with the king of the village, Xun Liang was not idle, and talked with the various masters in the village, watching any situation in the village from all directions, and signaling the accompanying disciples to protect the safety of the lord.

The more Xun Liang walked in, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, this camp was arranged in a dark formation, with a quadripartite pattern of long soldiers outside, archers in the center, and a circle in the middle, all of which were sword and axe hands, and bronze weapons that could be used were not like the circle of homeless people on the periphery.

It shows its weakness on the outside, but on the inside it is full of strong men, and some of them still have a killing aura, obviously licking the bloody knife.

Xun Liang pondered for a moment, and then turned around and asked: "All of you are in charge of the rivers and lakes, and you are righteous."

The nine village kings were poured into sugar-coated cannonballs by Xun Liang, and their hearts were a little fluttering, the four masters and the fifth masters were a little familiar, and Xun Liang did not have the habit of sour Confucianism, so he naturally looked very kind.

"Brother Xun said that we are in the heart, and I am looked down upon outside" The fifth master hurriedly replied, smiling on his black face, and his teeth were white.

The fourth master is a face show literati, and said to the two: "What my brother said is very true, Mr. Xun should not come to our village, the boss is good to us."

Xun Liang smiled and said dumbly, as if unconsciously: "Really? Then I'm going to have to ask the king of the cottage."

The three of them laughed and inadvertently talked about the big and small trivial matters in the camp.

Xun Liang saw that the topic was coming, and hurriedly said: "The four masters, I didn't expect you to be able to arrange this platoon?" It's good to learn, but you don't hesitate to teach" The voice just fell.

The fourth master didn't think much about it, and just wanted to explain, but was preempted by his fifth brother and said: "It's not my fourth brother, there are sour Confucian talents in the camp, so I love to talk about it, it's really annoying...."

"Fifth brother!!"

I saw that the second master and the third master took a few steps back and came to interrupt the topic, attracting Xun Liang's attention, and the other person quietly glared at the fifth man angrily, and the ninth man also stepped forward compactly, sandwiching Xun Liang in the middle to speed up the pace and move forward.

After Fang arrived at Xun Liang and walked a little farther, the third master's brain collapsed on the head of the fifth man, and he said hatefully: "How did the eldest brother explain, why did you forget?" ”

The fifth child lowered his head, covered his bald head with a simple face, and said, "Third brother, I am wrong.... I..."

"Really, let's talk less" The third master is helpless, the fifth is this character, there is nothing bad about it, it is just a lot of good wine, his own family affairs are clear, the third master is not saying anything, so just let him go, I hope that person is not suspicious, squinting at Xun Liang's back, and quietly Mimi took the fifth child to follow.

Xun Liang not only didn't suspect at the moment, but also had a bad thought, there are talented soldiers in this camp, God help my lord!!

............

In Yancheng, Deng Xinzhi withdrew many members of the Deng family, and it seemed deserted at this time, not only was it deserted, but even the subordinates looked idle, and many high-level personnel in the family were not there at the moment, only the other sons of the Deng family and the old family owner who were idle at home.

"Nalan, Xinzhi has grown up and can be on his own" Deng Kuohai whispered softly to the tablet in the room, touched the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked to the west of the city, and missed even more in his heart.

Suddenly, the noise of the main hall outside pulled Deng Kuohai's mind back, and he stood up dissatisfied and walked towards the main hall.

"No, I want to see the young family master!"

"I told you, the young head of the family is not here."

The middle-aged man was unwilling, so he pulled the collar of the pipe and said irritably: "The young master is not here? How can it be!! A total of 3,000 disciples in the land of the two prefectures have all received orders for help, which..."

"What is the noise" Deng Kuohai appeared in the corner corridor, and said majestically and angrily: "What kind of system is this!" ”

"Old master!"

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted, although Deng Kuohai retired in seclusion, he still did not lose the majesty of the head of the family, and the middle-aged man was also brought out by the head of the old family when he was young.

When the Deng family saw that the main backbone was coming, they hurriedly explained the situation clearly, and handed the Deng family's order hemp paper to the old family master.

Deng Kuohai grabbed the order in his hand, swept it up and down, and a question arose in his heart, it was indeed Zhi'er's note, and he said uncertainly: "What did you receive this?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't dare to hide it, so he stepped forward and reported: "About fifteen o'clock ago"

"All the disciples of the two provinces have been brought here?"

"Brought, received the order, I don't dare to hold it up, the rescue is important... Place... to.."

Deng Kuohai relied on many years of experience in handling things, and the more the other party said, the more he felt bad, and he wanted to ask carefully.

Suddenly, several young disciples hurriedly rushed in and reported to the middle-aged man: "Hall Master, it's not good, Yushan City and Surabaya City have just lost contact!" ”

Deng Kuohai shouted at the sky, stumbled backwards on the pillar, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Deng Kuohai vomited blood in grief, and muttered: "The Deng family is finished!" ”
