Chapter 48: Encounter with Zilong
Zhang Xiaotian had countless nightmares. In his dreams, a space-time machine sends him back to the twenty-first century and tries him for the great sin of disrupting history.
Suddenly, Shang Yin came to him bleeding from seven holes, blaming him for why he didn't avenge her. Then a myriad of different faces appeared before his eyes.
Including parents, relatives and friends, Diao Chan, He Shuer, Liu Wei, etc., crying sounded in their ears from time to time! Faintly, he knew that he was hovering between life and death.
No! I must live, this belief sustains him, for others and for himself! Zhang Xiaotian's body at this time was hot and cold, and his soul seemed to be out of touch with his body, as if he was in pain, but he didn't feel it at all.
Zhang Xiaotian wandered on the verge of death for an unknown amount of time, and finally woke up. It was as if he had returned to the safe quarters of the 21st Century Military Department. A cheer sounded, Zhang Xiaotian didn't see who it was, he fainted again, and when he woke up again, Zhang Xiaotian's mental and physical condition was much better, and after a month of recuperation, Zhang Xiaotian returned to the state before the injury.
Zhang Xiaotian saw that his injuries were healed, so he embarked on the road back to Chang'an.
After these days of contact, Zhang Xiaotian's relationship with the fourth princess increased day by day, and one night, the two of them finally got to fruition.
Ten days later, a group of five people came to the territory of Changshan, and they could reach Chang'an in more than ten days.
He knew that there was a famous Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, one of the famous Five Tiger Generals in Changshan, and at this time Zhang Xiaotian thought to himself: Now Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are under my command,
Wouldn't it be better if I took Zhao Yun under my command? Maybe it's the providence in the dark that really made Zhang Xiaotian's dream come true.
It was almost dusk on this day, Zhang Xiaotian and his party walked to a remote village, at this time, it should be the moment when the smoke is rising, but the whole village is silent, which aroused Zhang Xiaotian's suspicions, and suddenly heard the fourth princess suddenly scream, pointing to the door of the largest wooden house, only to see the blood stains on it, shocked.
Zhang Xiaotian took a closer look, and the blood stains were still quite fresh, apparently it happened not long ago. So he instructed Liu Guan and the three brothers to stay outside to protect the fourth princess, and pushed open the door and entered the house.
After a while, he walked out with a gloomy face, and after checking the other rooms, he returned to the four of them and said: The fourth princess, don't panic, there have just been inhumane crimes and tragedies here,
It seems that all the men, women, and children here have been gathered in this room and tortured and killed, even the chickens and dogs, and the women have traces of being raped. ”
"Who did this evil?" The four princesses changed colors.
"It's not the horse thief, it's the army, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to control these fierce people." Xiang Shaolong replied at this time,
"This! What should we do? Zhao Qian said in a trembling voice.
Before Zhang Xiaotian could answer, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rose.
The five people were frightened at this time, turned their heads to look, and saw one person and one rider, from far and near, and immediately sat a burly young man with a god of wind like jade, and a pair of hunted game behind the horse.
I saw that the man was about twenty-one or twelve years old, and he was born eight feet long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face, a majestic face, and a sparkling look in his eyes.
Seeing them from a distance, he shouted and said, "Where did the friends come from!" He shouted again: "Zilong is back!" ”
"What? He is Zhao Yun? At this time, Zhang Xiaotian exchanged a look with the four princesses, and all of them felt compassion in the hearts of the young man who had returned home.
I saw that the young man named Zilong was approaching in an instant, and his eyes shot a strange gaze, staring at the house where no relatives had come out to greet him, obviously sensing that something was unusual.
Zhang Xiaotian immediately grabbed to stop him, and said sincerely: "Friend, can you listen to me a few words first?" ”
Zhao Zilong jumped off the horse with agility at this time, looked at him indifferently and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"We're just passers-by, and there's ...... inside." Zhang Xiaotian replied,
saw Zhao Zilong push him on the shoulder with a palm, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”
With Zhang Xiaotian's weight and the steady horse step of Mount Tai, he was still pushed by him and staggered to the side, although he was caught off guard, it can still be seen how amazing Zhao Zilong's arm strength is.
Zhao Zilong rushed into the house like a whirlwind at this time, and then there was an earth-shattering scream and a sad cry, which is exactly what the man does not flick when he has tears, but he has not reached the sad place!
Suddenly, with a wild shout, Zhao Zilong's eyes spurted blood, rushed out with a sword, pointed at Zhang Xiaotian and asked, "Did you do it!" ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and at this time, Zilong was obviously filled with grief and brain, and a sword slashed head-on.
Zhang Xiaotian had already taken precautions, pulled out his wooden sword, blocked his sword, and pushed the fourth princess to the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang with the other hand, and asked them to protect the fourth princess.
Zhang Xiaotian was chopped by him at this time, and when he secretly thought that this person's arm strength was comparable to Yan Liang, Zhao Zilong didn't care about life and death, and attacked like a mad tiger, and his swordsmanship was wide open and closed, which was exquisite.
Zhang Xiaotian could have imagined that he would encounter such a terrifying master in this remote mountain village, and he didn't even dare to try to explain distractedly at this moment.
After transporting the old man's swordsmanship, only defending and not attacking, and fighting and retreating, resisting the opponent's one hundred and eighty swords, Zhao Zilong suddenly let out a sad cry, knelt on the ground, hugged his head and cried.
"Brother Zilong! We didn't kill these people. Zhang Xiaotian said,
"I know! You use a wooden sword, and there is no blood on your body, but my mind is filled with anger for a moment. Then he fell to the ground crying.
Zhao Zilong knelt in front of the newly erected grave at this time, with a blank expression. Underneath it, his parents, brothers, wife, and children are buried. This happy life of self-sufficiency has never been with him again.
He didn't even know who the enemy was, so he could only use all the strength of his life to find it. Hatred devoured his bleeding heart.
Zhang Xiaotian came to Zhao Zilong's side and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zilong, do you want to take revenge!" “
Zilong suddenly raised his head, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "If Brother Xiao can let Zhao Zilong take revenge, then I will give you this life." “
Zhang Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said secretly: I really didn't guess wrong, this person is indeed Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also better in marksmanship.
He is brave and powerful, and if you can get his help, it will be a real strength.
So he nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, have you ever wondered why those thieves gathered everyone into one room?" “
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this: "They want to leave a few other rooms to use." ”
Zhang Xiaotian admired his quick thinking and said, "So they will definitely come back, and it must be before dusk." ”
Zhao Yun's eyes burst with hatred again, he bent his head to the ground, and then came to Zhang Xiaotian's side, stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder, and said gratefully:
"Thank you for your kindness! Hurry up and hit the road! Otherwise, it will be dangerous to encounter them. ”
"If you want to destroy your enemies, then you shouldn't let me go." Zhang Xiaotian said with a smile on his face at this time.
At this time, Zhao Yun glanced at the fourth princess, shook his head and said, "Your little wife is beautiful and hearted, I don't want her to suffer misfortune, mine."
Although the brothers are not as good as me, they are not so easy to deal with, which shows that the enemy is outnumbered and powerful, and the martial arts are extremely high, and we may not be able to resist it. ”
"If it's a head-to-head match, we're not their opponents, but now if it's a strategy to win, it's a different story entirely.
It's better to start arranging it right away while there's still some time. Zhang Xiaotian said confidently at the moment.
Zhang Xiaotian and Zhao Yun sat next to each other at the foot of the wall on both sides of the window in the house, quietly waiting for the arrival of the murderous enemy.
At this time, Zhao Yun's emotions had calmed down, showing the calmness and composure of the master, but the deep pain and sadness in his eyes continued unabated.
Zhang Xiaotian wanted to distract his god and asked, "Brother Zilong, have you been hunting here for a living since you were a child?" ”
Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, I originally had the ambition to serve the court and contribute to the country, and I didn't seek to reach the princes.
But I have a clear conscience, but after joining the army, who knows that it is not that kind of thing at all, the officialdom is deceitful, squeezing out each other, and only in frustration do I take my family and live in seclusion here, who knows ....... ”
At this time, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and the two and five of them immediately lifted their spirits, quickly got up, and looked out of the window together. A team of men and horses is slowly galloping. Zhang Xiaotian looked at it, was stunned at this time, and lost his voice: "There are at least seventy or eighty people!" Zhao Yun said coldly: "It's one hundred to one hundred and ten people." ”
Zhang Xiaotian looked at him carefully for a while, glanced at him in surprise, and nodded: "Your observation is very accurate." ”
"Brother Xiao, let's go! With the strength of the five of us, even if we add traps, we can't deal with so many people. Zhao Yun said helplessly at this time;
Zhang Xiaotian's scalp was numb, and he had secretly had the idea of retreating, but now he knew that Zhao Yun was determined to fight to the death, but it aroused his pride, "Brother Zhao, don't languish so quickly, as long as we can hold on for a while, wait until it gets dark, it will be convenient for us to act,
Hum! I, Xiao Tian, am the kind of person who retreats from the battle, is timid and afraid of things. Zhang Xiaotian said in a deep voice.
Zhao Yun glanced at him gratefully at this time, and then looked intently at the approaching enemy. At this time, the sky turned dark, Zhang Xiaotian used his full eyesight, and suddenly shook his whole body and said: "It's him!" Yan Liang! ”
At this time, a strong sense of guilt surged in his heart, if it weren't for them to attract the chasing soldiers, the Zhao Yun family at this time would still enjoy a happy life with no quarrel with the world, but now it is separated by yin and yang.
