Chapter 2: Chasing the Deer (Mikami)

"You are Jiang Bailing!" Cheng Mingzhen finally remembered who the person opposite was, and exclaimed in a low voice. "Why are you here? Who sent you! ”

"Cheng Dajiao has a good memory!" Jiang Bailing, who was alias Lao Mu, sneered in a low voice: "You, the head of Cheng Dajiao, have all done the county guard, and I can't mix in a team under Cao Dan, just be right?" I'm not necessarily that much worse than you in terms of true skills, right? ”

"I just didn't think it was you!" Cheng Mingzhen put on his clothes and pulled out a horizontal knife in front of him. Thanks to all these years of experience, after the initial panic, his state of mind has slowly calmed down at this moment. Jiang Bailing alone poses no threat! No matter how vicious his words were, Cheng Mingzhen, who fought alone, and was instructed by Duan Blind and Luo Cheng, was absolutely sure to defeat him within ten moves. But in case he was sent by Dou Jiande to target him, Cheng Mingzhen knew that he was in big trouble. He now only has ten guards by his side, even if they are all covered in iron, they can't withstand the repeated beatings of the Dou family's army!

In just a moment, several speculations flashed in Cheng Mingzhen's heart like lightning. He remembered that Jiang Bailing had just ordered him not to shout, which might mean that he was acting without anyone behind him. But in the impression, Jiang Bailing is not a reckless person, unless he is sure that he will kill himself with one blow.

Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen's face was cloudy and uncertain, Jiang Bailing felt so happy in his heart. On the same day, Guantao County was attacked by Zhang Jin, and none of the people who were close to Guo and Jia escaped alive. As the nephew of the archer Jiang Ye, and a possible participant in the case of framing Cheng Mingzhen, Jiang Bailing knew that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so when the city was broken, he simply hid in a pile of corpses of the guards guarding the city and pretended to be dead. Although his face was burned by the sparks flying from the enemy tower, his life was finally saved.

After escaping Guantao County, he went incognito and tried all kinds of ways to find a chance for revenge. But the new masters who had no choice but to defect to each other, whether it was the imperial court officials or the heroes of the green forest, before Jiang Bailing could mix into the arms of the other party, the other party had been swallowed up by other forces.

Today, with this big boss, tomorrow with the big village master, Jiang Bailing will be mixed under Cao Dan. With his ability to do things and speak so old that he slowly became Cao Dan's pro-soldier team. No one knew about his past, and no one cared what kind of background the team had in the past. Slowly, Jiang Bailing himself quickly forgot the past grievances, who expected that the opportunity for revenge suddenly fell from the sky recently.

But when he was really facing the enemy who was thinking about him day and night, Jiang Baimin suddenly realized that he was not willing to watch him die. Although Cheng Mingzhen acted ruthlessly, he was not a downright man. Killing such a person should be done on the battlefield and not by such despicable means.

Hesitating, his eyes slowly began to flicker, and the hand holding the hilt of the knife at his waist trembled. Cheng Mingzhen, who had been observing his every move, immediately seized the opportunity, smiled and took a few steps back, leaning his body against the wall: "There is no need for the two of us to be like this, right!" I didn't offend you when I was in the museum that day! Sensei said that your martial arts may not be as good as mine, even if you kill me today, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape! ”

"The head of the sect has never offended me, and he has also instructed me in martial arts! Jiang can have half of today's thanks to you! Jiang Bailing sneered and said "thank you" to Cheng Mingzhen, "But what about the two-year-old child of Li Laojiu's family?" And Uncle Jiang's sixty-year-old lady in his family? Have they offended the Sect Leader, why did you not hesitate to kill them? ”

Cheng Mingzhen was speechless when asked, leaning against the wall and bobbing his head back and forth: "None of them were killed by my order." You also know the situation at that time, I was ordered by Lin County to be locked in a prison and had no contact with the outside world at all! ”

"Zhang Jin said that the attack on Guantao was to save you, right? Jade Rakshasa also became your wife later, right?! The more Cheng Mingzhen defended, the more angry Jiang Bailing's heart became, and the voice of questioning rose unconsciously, and he didn't forget who warned Cheng Mingzhen just now not to shout loudly.

This inconsistent performance made Cheng Ming Zhenxun **** his previous judgment. From the moment he entered the city, Dou Jiajun's actions had always made him panic. If Jiang Bailing really made his own decisions, why was he so fearless?

Fortunately, Jiang Bailing's mood swings only lasted for a moment, and soon he felt that his voice was too high. Vigilantly glanced at the window covered with thin silk, made sure that the people nearby were all pushed away by himself, and then lowered his voice again, and asked with a sneer: "What's the matter, you are a thief, you are afraid that Dou Jiande will kill you, right?" You've done the same to others, haven't you? The left and right are just black and black, you die here today, he *** is also considered to have eyes! ”

"That's not fair to me!" Cheng Mingzhen was taken aback, but the words he said were still orderly: "In the pavilion that day, if the order of Lin County does not harm me, you and I will fight side by side, Zhang Jin said that he may not be able to break the city." Even if Zhang Jin said that he came to save me, the situation at that time was either that I died, or Lin County ordered them to die. Why should I obediently give my own head? After the city was destroyed, although many innocent people were killed, I also tried to save many people. The merits and demerits are enough to offset each other. If you don't believe me, go back to Tao County and ask the old man whether he hated me more or Lin County?"

"Of course, I hate the surname Lin more. You're very good at buying people's hearts! Jiang Bailing gritted his teeth and responded. He is a man with clear grievances, and he doesn't want to talk nonsense with a clear conscience. Zhang Jin said that although he killed many people after breaking through Guantao, compared with Zhang Jiajun's previous consistent practices, his behavior in Guantao County has been restricted. Although the wealthy families in the city were basically bankrupt, the losses of most of the ordinary people were not too large. Therefore, the people rumored that it was Cheng Mingzhen who persuaded Zhang Jincheng to use the principle of raising chickens and laying eggs, and credited the credit for surviving to this young man who had saved the people of the city. Therefore, although Cheng Mingzhen later became the ninth master of Juluze, his reputation among the people was very good.

Jiang Bailing knew all this, and he couldn't use this as a reason to kill Cheng Mingzhen. After sneering a few times, he pouted and added, "But that doesn't mean you don't deserve to die!" The disaster in Guantao City, you can deduce that it has nothing to do with you. Have the people of Shahe, Nanhe, and those places also sinned against you? The surname Cheng is you, patting your chest and counting how many innocent people have lost their lives because of you over the years! Can't you smell your blood when you can't sleep at night? ”

Cheng Mingzhen looked at his palm, then sighed with a wry smile: "Indeed, I killed a lot of people." Many innocent people have died because of me. Is that why you're here to kill me? According to this algorithm, how many people in the world can still live? ”

"You don't need a reason to kill you!" Jiang Bailing smiled and looked at Cheng Mingzhen, as if he was looking at the fat on the chopping board. "I didn't want to kill you today. I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty. I'm here today just to see what this wicked guy looks like now? Do you think you'll make it back to your lair alive this time? Dou Jiande is so easy to talk to, can he tolerate you repeatedly deceiving him? ”

Hearing that the other party said that he didn't want to fight hard with himself, Cheng Mingzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I have a clear conscience about Lao Dou!" Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said in a low voice: "With Lao Dou's character, if he suspects me, he will naturally question me face to face, and he will not take the next three indiscriminate measures!" ”

"Still dreaming, I really don't know how you survived in the bandits' den all these years!" Jiang Bailing pouted with a smile. "Confronted in person? Ask in person how you can successfully swallow your Zhaozhou camp? Ask face-to-face how can you take your Xiangguo County? Lao Dou is not a fool to rob people and things, and he has to be willing! ”

"Don't waste your time, Lao Dou is not the kind of person you say!" Cheng Mingzhen's heart was thundering, but the expression on his face became more determined. He knew that if he asked Jiang Bailing directly, he would definitely not tell him where the news came from. So just pretend to be stupid to the end, let the other party talk about the picture, and put out the required news and evidence one by one.

"What kind of person is Lao Dou, I am more qualified than you to say!" Jiang Bailing really sneered. "What about your sworn brother, why didn't he come to see you even though he knew you had come from afar. Isn't it strange that Cheng Dajun guarded you at all? ”

"General Wang may have other important things to do, and he can't get out of it for a while!" Cheng Mingzhen responded with a smile in his heart. Although Jiang Bailing's words were ugly, he had to believe in a fact. Dou Jiande set up a Hongmen banquet this time, just waiting for himself to take the initiative to send his head over.

"I'll tell you the truth. Your cheap big brother was arrested by the guy surnamed Dou three days ago. "Maybe it's to hit Cheng Mingzhen, Jiang Bailing sneered and threw out another shocking secret." It's just that your younger brother with a heavy army has not been convicted of his crime until Lao Dou! ”

"You talk nonsense!" This time, Cheng Mingzhen really couldn't pretend to be able to take a few steps forward, and grabbed Jiang Baimin's neck, "Brother Wang is Lao Dou's wife and brother, and he has saved Lao Dou's life three times or five times." Lao Dou also wanted to marry his sister to him last year, how could he say that he would turn his face? ! ”

"I owe a lot of favors, I can't afford it!" The more nervous Cheng Mingzhen became, the happier Jiang Bailing became. Shaking the scars on his face, he sneered and counted: "Support the old Dou to ascend to the position of the chief scoop of Hebei Green Forest, count it once; persuade to surrender a few times and return to obedience once; Instead of Lao Dou, going to the Great Wall is counted as the third time; Dou Hongxian regretted his marriage, but he did not complain about it for the fourth time. The position of the general was given to others for the fifth time, and there was an attack on Hejian to attack Yi County, sacrificing his life, the savior, hehe, so many favors, let me count, let me count, I stretched out all my fingers, and I can't count them all! My sister refuses to marry, she can't afford to pay off her official position, she can't afford to be favored, she can't pay it back, it's better to kill him with a knife, and she will be completely wiped out! ”

"You!" Cheng Ming was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead popped up, but there was nothing he could do about Jiang Bailing. If Dou Jiande really wanted to kill Wang Fubao, I am afraid that the character of the latter would not resist at all. Because in the latter's heart, Dou Jiande is almost a perfect lord, generous, with a torch-like vision, brave and resourceful......

A feeling of weakness surged up from the bottom of his heart, so he had to let go, Jiang Bailing retreated, and stuck to the wall again. Only by leaning against the wall can he support himself from being crushed by the bad news. "We are not thieves, bullies and innocents, we are thieves!" "Killing a man is like killing my father, insulting a woman is like deceiving my mother!" He remembered what Dou Jiande had said back then. It was precisely because of these words that although he was careful of Dou Jiande, he was still willing to run under the other party. It was only then that he distinguished Dou Jiande from Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida and other green forest heroes, thinking that he could break out of a golden avenue by following the other party.

Deep down, he never really thought of himself as a thief. It was now, it is still in the future!

And now all illusions are shattered. Dou Jiande said what others didn't say, or thought of it, others didn't dare to think about specific ways and means, but he still couldn't get rid of the habits and traditions of the green forest. He is just a peripheral general attached to the Dou family's army, and now he is still disheartened after showing Dou Jiande's true face, Brother Wang has always regarded Dou Jiande as a target of worship, what kind of disappointment should he hide in his heart now?

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingzhen's heart became colder and colder, his face instantly turned pale, and his body shrank into a ball unconsciously. Seeing that he was beaten into such a wretch, the resentment in Jiang Baimin's heart finally eased a little, and he snorted coldly and stepped forward and asked, "If you promise to help me do something, I can find a way to let you out of the city!" How are you interested? My Cheng Dajiao? ”

"Help?" Cheng Mingzhen raised his confused eyes. "Don't you want me to die? Why do you suddenly want to help me? ”

"I want you to die, but there are still people who don't deserve to die and need you to save them!" Jiang Bailing's face was still cold, but the tone of his voice was much softened: "Brother Wang is under house arrest, and the Li family behind the Confucius Temple is located. It was an empty house, with about forty guards inside. I can find a way to help you, provided you have to get your guards into the city to rescue Brother Wang! ”

"Behind the Temple of Confucius? More than forty guards? Cheng Mingzhen's heart became a mess of porridge, and he couldn't react for the time being. When did Jiang Bailing and Wang Fubao have a relationship? Would you rather give up hatred for the sake of Wang Fubao? Could this be a trap? Is it a trap deliberately set by someone behind Lao Dou's back?

Just thinking blankly, Jiang Bailing's voice came from his ears: "If you don't believe me, I'll go to the street later." See if you can get out of town and see if anyone is following you! To tell you the truth, there are no less than 500 soldiers and horses in ambush near the post house alone. Lao Dou didn't want to take you down today, but you don't expect to survive tomorrow night! ”

"That's not what I meant!" Cheng Mingzhe, who had been cornered, moaned weakly. Does it really have to be that way? He wasn't sure. I'm not sure if Jiang Bailing is forcing himself to rebel? He was not even sure if he could escape with ten guards and two hundred soldiers.

I'm not sure if it's a trap before and after, whether I jump or not?
