Chapter 4: Ups and Downs (Part 4)

In the blink of an eye, the pursuers had arrived. Finding that the Yuzhou camp and the minions who were wrapped in it were just cooking on fire, they had no intention of taking precautions at all, and they were confused and hesitated to stop two hundred steps away.

"Tell Cheng Xiaojiu to come out to see me!" Wang Deren was draped all over his body, holding a weapon and shouting. In last night's rebellion, Cheng Mingzhen could hack him to death in the bed as long as he was a little more ruthless. Therefore, at this moment, although he has the advantage of troops, he still does not dare to rashly launch an attack.

"The surname Cheng, come out!" "If you have a kind, come out, don't play any conspiracy!" Jia Qiangbang, Qin Degang and others were all furious, and scolded behind Wang Deren.

Cheng Mingzhen smiled, hit the horse, and threw his hand at Wang Deren and the others from afar, "Brother Wang, Brother Jia, Brother Qin." How can Cheng be so virtuous, the boss is so far away. If you're polite, let's not have more, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and you will have a period later! ”

"Phew, you little bastard with no virtue and smoke!" "You villain with a bad belly!" "Shameless villain!" The Bowangshan cavalry who caught up one after another scolded one after another, and when Wang Deren gave an order, they were ready to rush up and tear Cheng Mingzhen to pieces.

Seeing this, Xiongkuohai Wu Tianxi and others each took more than 20 brothers to surround the mountain and protect Cheng Mingzhen in the middle. The soldiers of the Zhaozhou battalion who were cooking also put down the cooking utensils in their hands, picked up their knives and spears, and quickly formed a team.

Farther away, the grass and trees swayed, and the mountain breeze gusted. It seems that there is a large group of people and horses walking, and it seems that it is just a bird and beast that has been alarmed, which is difficult to distinguish.

Seeing this, Wang Deren became more and more uneasy in his heart. He waved his hand lightly and ordered his soldiers and horses to be calm for a while. The mount took a few more steps, jumped off the horse, took a package from behind the saddle, and held it on the ground with both hands. "This is Lord Cheng's thing, Wang is stupid, and he actually tried to take it for himself. Now that Lord Cheng's purpose has been achieved, Wang will return the gift to the adult! ”

After that, he opened the package and put the set of crowns and gold armor that he once loved in front of him. Immediately afterwards, Qin Degang, Jia Qiangbang and others dismounted one after another and placed the gifts given by Cheng Mingzhen on the ground one by one. Together with the big box that Cheng Mingzhen worked hard to earn Fang Yanzao, as well as the silver inside, they were also carried over by the two minions and thrown in the open space between the two armies.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean!" Cheng Mingzhen pretended not to understand and asked with a wry smile.

"I'm not blessed as a hillbilly, and I can't stand Lord Cheng's gift. So I took the initiative to return it to Master Cheng. Lord Wangcheng will return Mr. Fang's head for the sake of our respect! Wang Deren smiled bitterly again and again, and his voice was full of inexplicable grief and indignation.

"The head surnamed Fang, Cheng didn't plan to bring it back to Ping En all the time!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and raised his voice to reply. Turning his head to look at Wu Tianxi, he ordered loudly, "Bring it, I'll return it to Brother Wang with my own hands!" ”

"This!" The people in the camp of Zhaozhou blocked one after another. Wang Deren came with anger, and no one expected what he would do next. Everyone can temporarily force him with suspicious tactics, so that he does not dare to attack rashly. But once Cheng Mingzhen is out of everyone's protection, it is difficult to ensure that Wang Deren will not be angry and take risks.

Guessing everyone's thoughts, Cheng Mingzhen raised his voice a few points, and said at a height that could be heard by both sides: "I have no grievances with Brother Wang, how could he harm me?" Take the head, since Brother Wang wants it, I will give it to him. ”

After that, he came out of the crowd, carried the head, swaggered to Wang Deren, and offered it with both hands.

Wang Deren originally planned to use the method of agitation to provoke Cheng Mingzhen, and then kill him while he was unprepared. Seeing Cheng Mingzhen walking towards him defenselessly, he began to hesitate again. With his past experience, he believed that Cheng Mingzhen would not kill to the point of stretching his neck to let himself kill. If the other party dares to put himself in danger, he must have no fear. And Fang Deren's death put Bowangshan in a dilemma in an instant, and any more blows in a short period of time may cause the entire cottage to fall apart.

"You ......" Thinking of this, Wang Deren stretched out his hand to stop the cronies on the left and right who were eager to try, strode up to meet him, and snatched Fang Yanzao's head from Cheng Mingzhen's hand. You dog thief, Wang can't wait to skin you and eat your flesh! ”

"If I can be skinned and eaten to solve Brother Wang's immediate predicament, Cheng will hand over his life to Brother Wang, so what's the difficulty!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled generously, not at all resentful of Wang Deren's attitude.

"You ......" Wang Deren was so angry that he could barely speak. Fang Yanzao is dead, he and Li Mi, it was Cheng Mingzhen who sneaked into Bowang Mountain and assassinated him, will Li Mi believe it? If the Wagang army comes to retaliate, what will they do? If he kills Cheng Mingzhen at this moment, of course, he can vent his anger, Dou Jiande led the troops to retaliate, what can he do to stop it?

"If you want me, Brother Wang should thank me, and he shouldn't break off his friendship with me. The two of us are actually sympathetic to each other! Cheng Mingzhen's words came from his ears again, and Wang Deren's heart was so desolate.

"Shouldn't I still put incense on the table to thank you for your great kindness?" With a sneer, he asked sharply. Knowing that this had no effect, I still couldn't help but want to vent.

"Some words are not clear, Brother Wang is willing to borrow a step!" Cheng Mingzhen looked around and pointed to a small forest road far away from both armies.

"What the hell are you playing again?" Wang Deren instinctively took half a step back, concentrating on vigilance. "If you have something to say in person, my own brother, you don't need to be guarded!"

"What if it's about the life and death of Bowang Mountain?" Cheng Mingzhen asked with a smile. It seems that the heart has already been established.

When Wang Deren heard this, his head buzzed. Bowang Mountain lives and dies, Bowang Mountain lives and dies, and the Bowang Mountain camp has indeed reached the point of life and death. Therefore, even if it was just to fight for a breath, he didn't want to be compared to Cheng Mingzhen anymore, gritted his teeth, and sneered: "It's up to you!" You choose a place, and I'll go with you! ”

"Big boss!" Qin Degang and the others stretched out their hands to stop them, but they were glared back by Wang Deren with their eyes. "What can he do? What does he dare to do? They all stand down and look down on their brethren! ”

The hall masters retreated stupidly, and Wang Deren strode behind Cheng Mingzhen and walked towards the woods. Now, he has also let it go, anyway, it is a big deal that he died at the hands of Cheng Mingzhen. The brothers fought with anger, and the surname Cheng could not escape death.

Cheng Mingzhen didn't care how the other party slandered himself in his heart, found a stone, and sat down first. "Brother Wang, please be seated. A few heart-wrenching words from our brothers! ”

"If there's a fart, let it go!" Wang Deren's face was full of anger. found a tree stump facing Cheng Mingzhen and did it abruptly.

Cheng Mingzhen smiled slightly, "Actually, it's nothing." I just want to ask Brother Wang, if I don't kill Fang Yanzao, can Brother Wang succeed in following Li Mi's family? ”

"Dou Jiande may not be a person who has achieved great things!" Wang Deren did not answer Cheng Mingzhen's words positively, but only cared about ridiculing each other.

"There is no need for the two of us to fight over this!" Cheng Mingzhen's temper has become quite good, and he is not annoyed no matter how he is topped. "No matter whether Dou Jiande can achieve great things in the future, I can guarantee that he will not harm me. But what about you, Brother Wang, are you sure? ”

"Fuck your shit!" Wang Deren was poked in a sore foot, but his mouth was as hard as a stone. "Lao Tzu doesn't live on anyone. Li Mi wants to kill me, but it depends on whether Lao Tzu's knife agrees. You don't want to be a guest for Dou Jiande. To tell you the truth, you treat him as the lord, but Lao Tzu doesn't look down on him! ”

"Brother Wang is quick to talk!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled, not caring about Wang Deren's dirty export. "Brother, I never thought of pulling you to Dou Jiande's side. Otherwise, there is no need to talk to you privately. If you can be accepted in public, wouldn't it be another great achievement? ”

"Bullshit!" Wang Deren muttered and scolded, but his arrogance when he spoke was unconsciously. He knew in his heart that he was just a rag in Li Mi's eyes, and if he used it up, he would never end well. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to leave Henan and do anything northward for the Wagang army.

But if you don't rely on Wagang, how can Bowang Mountain gain a foothold? The heroes of Hebei have already offended themselves, and Xu Maogong's power is close at hand. Dou Jiande, Chi Derui, Han Jianhong, these green forest figures, after leaving the shelter of Wagang Mountain, which one can afford to provoke?

"Brother, the reason why I chose Dou Jiande is because I have no choice. Other than that, the Zhaozhou Army simply could not survive. Cheng Mingzhen sighed faintly, to tell the truth.

Wang Deren felt weak in his heart and muttered: "Back then. What happened back then......"

"I'm not blaming Brother Wang. In fact, if I change places with Brother Wang, I will always think about annexing others and strengthening myself! Cheng Mingzhen interrupted Wang Deren's apology, and smiled to point out the unchanging unspoken rules in the rivers and lakes. I am, Brother Wang's situation is actually the same as mine, not necessarily begging for a day to face the south and the north, just struggling to survive! ”

"What about being an emperor? Just you, Cheng Xiaojiu, are enough to clean me up! Wang Deren had a great sense of knowledge in his heart, and said with a wry smile.

It's not that he has no ambition, but he has been rolling in the green forest for so many years, and his ambition has long been smoothed out by reality. When the emperor faces south and turns his back to north, you can think about it when you dream. After waking up from the dream, how to spend your life. In this chaotic era of fierce competition, without corresponding strength support, the end of careerists can only be to cushion the horse's hooves for others. The greater the ambition, the faster you die.

"Last night's incident, Cheng was really forced to do so. But the death of the surname Fang is actually beneficial and harmless to the eldest brother! Cheng Mingzhen smiled and continued to explain.

Wang Deren let out a long sigh, as if he was about to spit out all his grievances, "The words are all for you!" If there are no consequences for killing him, you will have to do it? With so many brothers under my command, who doesn't think that the one surnamed Fang has died a long time ago? ”

"Brother Wang is worried that he won't be able to explain to Li Mi! Brother Wang, think about it, do you really need to explain to him? Seeing that Wang Deren's anger had gradually subsided, Cheng Mingzhen continued to wake up.

"Count the ball, it's done!" Wang Deren's reaction speed was not slow, and he quickly understood what Cheng Mingzhen meant. "Across Xu Maogong, Li Mi can't do anything to me. But what about you Dou Wangye, and what about the others? ”

"Actually, there's no need for Brother Wang to take the initiative to leave Wagang!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled secretly and suggested in a low voice. "Qin comes to Qin, Chu comes to Chu, I don't know if Brother Wang has heard this? If you don't take the initiative to leave, who knows that the Wagang Army has ignored you? If you don't take the initiative to leave, with Xu Maogong here, will Li Mi take the initiative to fire you? ”

"That's right!" Wang Deren was so excited that he slapped his thigh. "Brother, you're so right, why didn't I think of it!" Now, Cheng Mingzhen has become his good brother again, rather than an enemy who is different from Dai Tian. "But with Li Mi's side, how should I ......?"

"Fang Yanzao plotted against him and bullied the lord with guests. This is what everyone has witnessed! Standing from the perspective of Bowang Mountain, Cheng Mingzhen smiled and gave advice to Wang Deren. What is wrong with you killing such a rebellious man? ”

"I'll kill him!" Wang Deren looked at his hand and smiled bitterly. "You Cheng Xiaojiu are so calculating. You steal the donkey, let me pull the peg for you! ”

"You Wang Deren couldn't bear it, so he killed Fang Yanzao. Then he felt ashamed in his heart and took the initiative to ask Li Mi for his guilt. Then, Fang Yanzao's corpse needs to be buried in the ground, and for the sake of the robe, you send him back to the south. Transferred to Wagang ...... through the hands of Xu Maogong"

"Give it to Xu Maogong. That Xu Dayan can't wait to crush Fang Yanzao's bones and scatter ashes! Wang Deren first shook his head, and then nodded again and again.

"Xu Maogong will not do that, but will bury Fang Yanzao. But in the future, Xu Mao will definitely no longer regard you as an enemy! Cheng Mingzhen nodded, as if he had seen through the direction of the whole thing. Then, what to do, your brother Wang knows it in his own heart! ”

"Cheng, you kid, goblin!" Wang Deren slapped Cheng Mingzhen and stood up. After a beat, the resentment towards Cheng Mingzhen in his heart disappeared, took the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "You, Lao Tzu is determined by you." In the future, when the grain ship passes by, I will have to escort you. Those gifts will not be returned to you, and Lao Tzu will stay as a reward. There are also silver taels, and they won't pay back a penny! ”

"Brother Wang, just keep it. If you need money in the future, you can secretly send a letter to your little brother! Cheng Mingzhen smiled and responded very enthusiastically.

"Could it be that you are a boy?" Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen promised generously, Wang Deren's eyes became hot again, and he asked tentatively.

"If it's really like a rumor, what kind of bullshit county guard am I! Isn't the life of a rich man comfortable? Cheng Mingzhen asked with a smile, not understanding that the other party believed a rumor.

“！ That's the truth! Wang Deren smiled and nodded. In any case, I still have to thank you as an older brother. If you need help in the future, send me a letter. As long as you can do it, you will never live up to it again! ”

Cheng Mingzhen gently bowed his hand and thanked Wang Deren for his kindness. Wang Deren knew that his promise at the moment was all a matter of no trace, smiled bitterly, lowered his voice and said: "Indeed, at the moment, I can't take care of myself, and I may not be able to help you." But before parting, I would like to send you a word, Dou Jiande, as far as I know, is not much stronger than Li Mi! ”

"Lord Dou is broad-minded, and his future is limitless!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and retorted in a low voice.

"I didn't mean to sow discord!" Wang Deren knew that Cheng Mingzhen might have misunderstood what he meant, and added in a very low voice, "Do you remember what I told you before the banquet?" Li Yuan got the help of the Turks and was almost on the edge of Chang'an. After Wang Shichong occupied Luoyang, he also repeatedly defeated the Wagang army. Although Li Zhongjian in the north of you is a little stubborn, he is by no means ambiguous when he fights. Compared with them, Lao Dou ......"

"Brother Wang's kindness, I understand it. But I'm just throwing myself into the green forest to live......"

"Alive! It's really that simple. Wang Deren paused again and asked with a smile.

"Alive!" Cheng Mingzhen nodded lightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled. He walked out of the woods arm in arm, causing the eyes of the soldiers on both sides to fall to the ground.
