The hall of the county government has already become a pot of porridge. At first hearing the sound of drums, the village owners and hall owners did not understand what Zhang Jincheng wanted to do, and in line with their general understanding of "beating drums and singing grievances", they all changed their clothes and rushed to the county office. The first thing that caught their eyes was Wang Ermao, who was already so tired that he was about to fall apart, and then, several little minions who were standing at the head of the city on night also rushed in panting.

"Fire, fire, outside, it's on fire!" didn't talk to Wang Ermao beforehand, and the minions reported in horror.

"What fire, speak slowly!" The big boss and the second boss have not yet arrived, and the third boss Du Scar has no choice but to take the initiative to provoke the beam. "What exactly do you see? Did you come back? ”

"Outside, the east side of the city is on fire. A large piece, I don't know where it burns from. The little minion gasped a few times and replied loudly. Nine masters, I didn't see nine masters. The Seven Masters rushed out with a few brothers......"

"This stupid girl!" Du Scar slapped his thigh in anger. "Who opened the gates! Go and tie up the man who is in charge of the east gate tonight!" ”

"Yes, it's Zhu Da'er! He stopped, he didn't! Seeing that Du Scar was angry, the little minion hurriedly defended his top boss.

"You, you bunch of shit!" Du Scar stomped his feet again and again, and there was nowhere to come out of his belly full of evil fire. What kind of temper is the baby daughter raised by himself, he knows best when he is a father. Looking at the entire Zhang Jiajun, who has the courage to stop the cuckoo's horse's head? Even if the big boss Zhang Jin said that he came forward in person, it would be difficult to ensure that he would not be whipped. Let a few little minions block the seven masters to save Cheng Mingzhen, isn't that the same as the grass chicken competing with the tiger?

"Third brother, third brother, extinguish the fire, don't worry. The cuckoo riding skills are good, no matter how anxious you are, you won't jump into the fire pit without a head or brain! "The relationship between the five masters, Hao Laodao, and the Du family father and daughter is the closest, and when he saw that Du Scar was in a hurry, he hurriedly spoke out.

It's okay if he doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, Du Scar feels that he can't get off the stage. With his eyes pricked up, he shouted loudly: "Who is in a hurry!" I'm not in a hurry! If she burns to death, Lao Tzu will save his heart. Bastard, I don't think I raised her so much, and I don't have to plug holes for her in the future! ”

The cruel words were put down, but the circles under his eyes were faintly red. His wife went early, and his family was poor, so he only raised such a daughter. always hoped that she could marry a neat teenager and give birth to a grandson for herself. Although the child is not surnamed Du, after all, it is also a continuation of the bloodline, right? How do you know that her daughter was fascinated when she saw the little bastard surnamed Cheng. I was hurt by the little bastard three times and cried, and I didn't know to repent three times and five times!

"Alright, alright. Let Ermao explain the enemy situation clearly. Juan Zi is so adult, he knows the priorities! Wang Mazi, the fourth master, had already been impatient to hear it, and when he saw that Du Scar was taking care of his daughter in advance, he frowned and reminded.

"Not your child!" Du Scar immediately found the target of the attack, turned his head, and accused viciously.

"Your daughter ignores military discipline and dispatches troops and horses privately, is it reasonable?" Wang Mazi couldn't get off the stage, so he asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the two masters were about to pinch each other, the other village owners and hall masters hurriedly surrounded and persuaded them. Wang Ermao, the main owner of the report, was left to the side, and no one cared about it. In the midst of the chaos, a few coughs came from the back hall. The second master, Xue Song, and the big boss Zhang Jincheng walked in one after another with a few personal soldiers.

Seeing that the backbone of the main body was in place, the village owners and hall masters immediately stopped the noise. They each stood back where they were supposed to stand. Zhang Jin said that he looked around, not angry. When everyone stood up straight, they cleared their throats and asked Wang Ermao, "You were drumming just now?" Which way of the officers and soldiers came over, and how many people and horses? How far is it from Guantao County! ”

"It's the ninth master who asked the little one to come back and deliver the letter!" Wang Ermao wiped his still steaming head with his sleeve and answered in the order in which he asked. "The officers and troops came from the east. The sound of horses' hooves could be heard lying on the ground, and the number of people was not clear. ...... away from Guantao County," he paused, looking a little embarrassed, "Jiu Dangjia and I heard the sound of horses' hooves about three miles away from the city a quarter of an hour ago, and it was not clear how many people there were in the black light. The ninth boss ordered me to come back and report the news, and ask the big boss to go out of the city to fight in the field. He himself stayed where he was and tried to find a way to stop the enemy army! ”

"Nonsense! How many heads does he have? Zhang Jin said that when he heard this, he was taken aback again. Cheng Mingzhen fell in love with him at first sight, and he had great expectations for this smart and brave young man. If this person had just been rescued from the prison in Guantao County, this person would have died in battle. Then, all his previous efforts and plans were all in the soup.

Wang Ermao didn't dare to respond, and looked at Zhang Jincheng with a blank eye. Use your gaze to urge the other party to make a quick decision. Zhang Jin said that he was upset by him, slapped the table again, and scolded loudly, "Why don't you stay by yourself and come back with someone who understands?" How many enemy troops have not inquired clearly, how do you ask me to send troops? ”

"Big boss, he's still a kid. It's not easy! "The second master, Xue Song, is a meticulous person, and he is afraid that Zhang Jin will delay the fighter because of his anger, so he whispers to Wang Ermao to intercede.

"When Lao Tzu was so old as him, he ......" Zhang Jin said that his eyes were as big as eggs, and he wanted to show off the heroic image of his youth, but halfway through his words, he closed his mouth stupidly. The second master, Xue Song, is right, Wang Ermao and Cheng Mingzhen can only be regarded as half-grown children. It is not easy for two and a half children to find out about the enemy's situation, and it is not easy to leave one to find a way to stop the enemy army, and the other to run back to report the news. Looking at the world, how many such brave, intelligent and righteous children are there? Replaced by others, Sensei said that it was a child, I'm afraid that several village owners don't have the courage and determination of Cheng Mingzhen?

Thinking of this, his anger calmed down a little. glanced at Wang Ermao again, and comforted him in a low voice, "You are in a hurry, as long as the Jiu Dangjia is not dead, I will definitely save him." ”

Then he turned his head to the other brothers, nodded, and said, "All the hall masters immediately go back to organize the team, and those who can carry knives into battle will all be pulled out of the bed by Lao Tzu." Stay with the owners of the village, let's discuss a foolproof strategy. Dare to lead the troops in this kind of dog-toothed weather, it is estimated that he is not a good stubble! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of footsteps outside the yamen. Zhu Er, the little leader who was in charge of guarding the east gate, personally ran in to report the news, "Tell the big boss, the fire outside the east gate is getting closer and closer." The subordinates suggested demolishing the house near the city wall to prevent the fire from burning in! ”

"Demolish, demolish your mother's shit!" Zhang Jincheng grabbed the startling wood and smashed it straight at Zhu's ear. "The fire of the moon burns the ground, it's strange that it can burn into the city! And I shall bring all my brethren from the gates of the city to the east gate and prepare for the battle. ”

Zhu Da'er was scolded by him, his face was red, he agreed, and ran out backwards. Several village owners looked at each other and nodded secretly. all understand that Zhang Jincheng's words are reasonable. The weeds and dead trees of Layue were beaten by snow, and the exposed layer was frozen dried by the wind and stained with sparks. Later, the ice in the land and thick branches is roasted by the fire, which can suppress the flames. Therefore, the folk proverb concludes, "The fire of the moon burns the earth, burns quickly, and is extinguished quickly!", which means that this kind of fire looks majestic, but in fact it is difficult to cause major disasters. (Note)

After all the hall masters were ordered to retreat, Zhang Jincheng sighed and said to several village masters: "Needless to say, this fire was also put by the Jiu master. This kid gave up his life for us. We can't leave him alone. What about the cuckoos? Why didn't you see her? Have you already gone out of town? ”

"Juan Zi has taken someone to save the Nine Masters!" Du Scar lowered his head and responded gloomily. Although Zhang Jiajun has been powerful in recent years, he has never fought against the regular soldiers and horses of the court. The Jianghuai Xiangyong who dealt with Wang Shichong last time was no longer able to do it. This time, I met "a lot of war horse army" again, once it was the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who were killed, I am afraid that Du Juan and Xiao Jiu would not be able to escape the tiger's mouth!

"No matter what, we can't leave the Seven Masters and the Nine Masters and run for our lives. The big boss gives the order, and I will take the lead! "The eighth master, Lu Fangyuan, is also a simple person, arched his hand, and asked for his life in a low voice.

"Yes, we have to fight hard, don't live up to the wishes of the nine masters!" The fifth master, Hao Laodao, also responded loudly.

The second master, Xue Song, is the most calm, seeing Zhang Jincheng's gaze turned to him, he thought about it, and analyzed in a low voice, "If I bring troops to steal the camp, what I am most afraid of is being recognized in advance." The Nine Masters set a fire in the field, and the enemy general did not know our reality and would definitely think that everyone had already taken precautions, so he set fire to him in advance to cut off his way. While the enemy army is hesitating, we will pour out and kill, maybe we can give the coming people a dismount! ”

"That's true, that's what the Nine Masters must mean!" In an instant, all the village owners understood the intention of Cheng Mingzhen's sentence "out of the city to fight", and they all applauded. In this case, Zhang Jin said that there was no need to mobilize too much, slapped the table hard, and stood up, "It's a mule or a horse that has to be pulled out for a walk." We can't hide in Juluze as bandits all our lives. The taste of this county is good, and I have done a good job. In the future, who would dare to say that we can't get past the addiction of the county guard and the governor. Raise troops to meet the battle, and tell the brothers, if you die on all fours and face the sky, if you don't die, Lao Tzu has a share of wealth, you can share their share of wealth, and never forget each other! ”

"That's right! Don't forget each other! The second master, Xue Song, dropped a sentence of literary language that no one understood, and his face was full of excitement. This trip to the pavilion was not in vain, only a few days, he saw a gratifying change from Zhang Jincheng. The original Zhang Da Master only knew how to kill, but now, in addition to killing, Zhang Da Da Master obviously has some more shining things in his eyes.

Note: In extremely cold weather after snow, the snow does not melt, but the grass can ignite. I used to play a similar game when I was a child. Friends with conditions can try it. Be careful not to cause an accident.
