Chapter 4 Picking Rose

Seeing Zhang Jin say that he was soft, Sun Huozi and the others began to sour in their noses. / For so many years, they have seen the big boss Zhang Jin say that he was driven to hide in Tibet by the officers and soldiers like rabbits, and they have seen the big boss Zhang Jin say bow down in front of the forces stronger than themselves, nodding his head. Only I didn't see Zhang Da squatting down softly like a farmer who had been bullied but had nowhere to complain. Because of a very common action, for a man, it means that he has been completely defeated, has completely accepted the mercy of fate, and has completely lost the confidence and courage to continue fighting.

"Who's old lady who lacks discipline, I'm going to kill her!" The pro-soldier team was angry, and drew the horizontal knife at his waist and was about to rush into the alley across the street. As soon as he took a step, his belt was grabbed by Sun Huozi. "Who is our big boss, how can he be as knowledgeable as this country fool!" Sun Huozi shouted loudly, and at the same time swept the high wall of the county government behind him with the corner of his eye, "Ignore her, we are used to walking sideways, and we are afraid of being chewed a few words of tongue?" ”

"Sixth Master!" The pro-soldier team had red circles in their eyes and stopped hatefully.

Killing an ignorant peasant woman is not a big deal. In the past, Zhang Jin said that he was unhappy, and dragging the leading figures in the local area over to cut out his heart was just to have fun, no one dared to say anything, and no one dared to stop it. But not now, the moment Sun Huozi swept his gaze to the wall of the county government, the pro-soldier team had already understood what he meant. As the so-called dog beating also depends on the owner, now they are guests, and the owner of Pingen County is Cheng Mingzhen. It doesn't matter if you kill an ignorant fool and sweep the face of your master, it's not fun.

And Cheng Mingzhen's guy is notoriously close to the people, and if he kills people indiscriminately on his territory, I'm afraid that in the end, Zhang Jincheng won't be able to protect the killing. As guests, they should have the consciousness of being guests. Of course, if the "guests" are strong enough to easily take the "host" off the fire, then this can be said differently. But now, the soldiers under the command of Zhang Da are walking away and scattered, and at best, there are more than 3,000 remnants of the remaining morale of the remnants, what can they do to compete with the Zhaozhou army? Moreover, even the supply of grain and grass for these more than 3,000 people completely depended on the alms of the Yuzhou army. The two sides are really in trouble, and the officials in Zhaozhou don't have to make any other effort at all, as long as the daily supply is stopped, within three days, Zhang Jiajun will definitely have to break up!

As the saying goes, 'people have to bow their heads under the low eaves', no matter how sorry they feel for their big bosses, they have to swallow their anger at the evil words of a peasant woman. Fortunately, Zhang Da didn't force everyone to be angry for him, and after squatting under the wall with his head in his arms for a while, he raised his head with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "Forget it, since I have done it, I am not afraid of what others say." Sixth, can you arrange for me to meet Xiao Jiuzi as soon as possible, I have a few words to explain to him as soon as possible! ”

"I'll find someone to inform Xiao Jiu and ask him to come to see you as soon as possible!" Sun Huozi glanced at Zhang Jincheng cautiously, and responded in a tone that tried not to hurt the other party's self-esteem. "But you may need to wait for two or three days, Xiao Jiu led the troops to Qingzhang yesterday. I guess it will take a few days to get back! ”

Despite being physically and mentally weakened, Mr. Zhang said he remained sensitive to external affairs. Hearing that Sun Huozi said that Cheng Mingzhen went to Qingzhang County, he immediately expected that the situation was not good, "Qingzhang? What did he do in Qingzhang? Someone's knocking on the door? ”

"It's Wei Deshen of Wuyang County, that kid wants to take the opportunity to come over and take advantage of it. Duan Qing had stabilized the situation. Xiao Jiu was not at ease, so he rushed over to see the situation in person! Sun Huozi smiled and replied lightly.

Although he said it lightly, Zhang Jincheng's face was instantly full of desolation. This is really a wall that everyone is pushing down. Just half a year ago, officials from the counties around Juluze rushed to bring him grain and grass and baggage, just begging him to be in charge of the house and raise his noble hand, let everyone go, and be safe for a few months. Now, he Zhang Jin said that he was defeated, so these guys who fled in the past immediately had the courage, not only intercepted and chased him on the way to withdraw his troops, but also dared to bully him cheekily?

Yang Baiyan, Wei Deshen, Chi Yuanhui, Guo Xuan, the faces of the defeated generals of their subordinates flashed in front of Zhang Jincheng's eyes, and his face was full of ridicule. "You have to find a way to remind Xiao Jiu to beware of those bastards in Wu'an County stabbing him in the back. All the dog officials of the imperial court, there is no good thing! Frowning, he said vigilantly. I am afraid that it will be too late to say a word, so that Cheng Mingzhen will also repeat his mistakes.

"The Wu'an County Shou secretly colluded with the squires in an attempt to cause chaos for everyone. Xie Yingdeng and Wang Ermao sneaked into Yongnian City overnight and went directly to his mansion to kill his entire family! Sun Huozi shrugged his shoulders and replied with a sneer.

At the beginning, Cheng Mingzhen took Linhao, Dog Mountain, Purple Mountain and other poor and remote lands, but left the Yongnian of Wu'an County and the ancient city of Handan untouched, saying that it was to create the illusion that Wu'an County had not lost control for the imperial court, so as to avoid the retaliation of the official army. When the owners of the village heard this reason, they also laughed at him in private for being cowardly and soft-handed. Now it seems that this little Jiuzi is a coward, as long as he feels threatened, he will raise the butcher knife without hesitation, just like Zhang Jincheng.

Zhang Jin said that he didn't expect Cheng Mingzhen to act so decisively and ruthlessly. I frowned and pondered for a long time before I let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: It's good, it's good. Kill when you should kill, and raise when you shouldn't. Xiao Jiu is better than me in doing things, and more neat than me. When did Wang Ermao come back? Who is Xie Yingdeng? Where do I think I've heard of this name? ”

"The surname Xie is the head of the Wagang Army's sentry detectives!" Sun Huozi reached out to support Zhang Jincheng's arm, and the two brothers took care of each other and turned back to the yamen. "I heard Xiao Jiu say that this person came to contact the cooperation matter on the order of Zhai Rang, the head of the Wagang Army. Xiao Jiuzi never gave him the right words, so he didn't leave! ”

"Wagang Army?" Zhang Jincheng trembled slightly, and asked reluctantly, "Isn't Xu Maogong the second master there?" Ermao was chased by the officials and soldiers last time, and they also saved him? ”

"The big boss has a good memory!" The pro-soldiers continued to follow up and supported Sun Huozi and Zhang Jincheng. In their eyes, Zhang Da and Sun Liu, who used to change the color of Hebei officials, have completely become two faltering old men. Not only does his body and bones look weak, but what he says is also verbose, and he can't get to the point for a long time.

The camel nodded slightly. "It's the Wagang army that once saved Wang Ermao's life. Li Mi was also over there. Xu Maogong is now sitting in the third position, and let Li Mi do the second! ”

Jin Cheng had white smoke in his mouth and pondered slowly. "I remembered. The guy surnamed Fang once told me about this. Xiao Jiuzi is not easy now, the officers and soldiers who should have come for me are probably all rushing towards him. What conditions did Xu Mao make public? Do you want my head, they will send troops to help Xiao Jiu in Wagang Mountain? Forget it, you tell Xiao Jiu, send me to Wagang Mountain. The surnamed Xu wants to take revenge, so he comes to me, don't be embarrassed for Xiao Jiuzi! ”

Sun Huozi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly gave Zhang Jin a relief pill. "What are the big bosses, how could Xiao Jiu sell you? Besides, I haven't heard that the surname Xie wants Xiao Jiu to kill you? He didn't understand why Zhang Jin said that when he mentioned Wagang Xu Maogong, he had to hand over his own head. But Zhang Jin said that he could think about Cheng Ming regardless of his personal safety, which was indeed very different from the original him.

"I killed Sun Anzu. Xu Maogong and Li Xu both take the old grandson as their master! As if he had guessed everyone's thoughts, Zhang Jincheng explained with a wry smile. Damn, I will pay back the debt I owe myself, and I won't drag down the little nine sons! ”

Today's Zhang Da is in charge, and he has completely become an old man who is about to die. Babbling and incoherent. "This person, sooner or later, there will be a day when he will go to see Lord Yama. The debts he owes are paid off by himself, and he is not weak to speak when he goes underground. Hehe, if Xiao Jiu really wants to kill me, don't stop you. His life was saved, and I should have died at His hands! ”

What is it and what is it? Sun Huozi and the guards were confused. Considering that Zhang Da Dangjia had just gotten up from the sickbed today, no one took these nonsense seriously. Everyone was gossiping, comforting Zhang Jin with kind words, and at the same time helping him to walk across the courtyard where he was recuperating, "How can it, since the Nine Masters have worked so hard to save you back, they will definitely not collude with others to harm you again!" "Who is the Nine Masters, don't worry. He won't do anything inside and out! As they spoke, everyone had already walked through the garden path, and through the low female wall, they saw that there were branches and plums in the courtyard next door, and there were a few hints of red.

"Whoever lives over there, clean up the weird chic!" Zhang Jin said that he stopped, looked at the plum branches, and was envious. The same plum blossom was also planted in his yard of Juluze. In the first early spring of transplanting, the trees were full of flowers, and the wind and snow were blowing, and the white, white, red and red were not lively.

"Juan Zi and Xiao Jiubei!" Sun Huozi also stopped and replied. "The two of them usually live there, but they are not at home at the moment. The third brother helped them guard the water, but he was not there. Otherwise, we can go over and have a look. ”

After the defeat, a vigorous Hanmei tree can undoubtedly inspire the mood of defeat and decadence, so he hopes that Zhang Jincheng can take a few more looks. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jincheng's face instantly turned pale again, he exhaled, and grinned: "Forget it." I'm damn unlucky, don't spread bad luck to others. Come back, I want to get some sleep. When Xiao Jiu has some free time, you must arrange for me to meet him! ”

The camel nodded slightly. I can't guess what the reason is that Zhang Jincheng suddenly became so humble.

Zhang Jin said that he didn't give him more hints, silently lowered his head and staggered. Plum blossoms, falling snow, and dark fragrant laughter are all landscapes he has seen. I didn't think anything special at the time, but now my memory suddenly becomes very clear.

Even clearer, it was the hateful eyes, facing his angry roar, sneering, "You know what you must ask again?" ”

"Do you close your eyes and take me for him?"

"What you know, you have to ask again?"
