Chapter Ninety-Six: The Tiger
(This Monday, the brethren's red ticket is up!) Come on! )
In a car in the middle of the camp, He Fang was called under the car, under the light of the torch, Xiao Tianjian saw that He Fang's injuries during this period of time had completely healed, not only did not become emaciated, but because of good food and lack of exercise, he actually gained a little fatter, so he was a little funny.
And He Fang wore a full set of iron shackles, and his hands and feet were restricted from freedom, so he was very honest during this time, he didn't find any trouble, and lived a life of stretching out his hands and eating to open his mouth, and Zhang Chao also specially arranged two people to take care of him, but he didn't suffer any crime.
But for the Xingtianjun many times persuaded him to join the Xingtianjun and the court to do this matter, He Fang has always been very tough, resolutely unwilling to surrender to the Xingtianjun, he took into account He Renlong's reputation, afraid that he would take refuge in the Xingtianjun, let people grab his uncle's pigtails, which is not good for his uncle, and on the other hand, he simply looks down on these mutant people's army, thinking that they can't achieve great things, although the court does not have the majesty of the early years, but it is not something that they can shake these mud legs, plus the scale of the Xingtianjun is limited, Xiao Tianjian's reputation is not good, even if he loses his battle, he still can't take refuge in this Xiao Tianjian just for his life.
When he saw Xiao Tianjian coming to see him, He Fang pulled the shackles under his feet with the chains on his wrists in both hands, slowly walked down from the car, sneered at Xiao Tianjian, and asked, "Why does Xiao Dangjia think of me He Fang today?" Could it be that he can't follow Gao Yingxiang and can't find another way out? If Xiao Dangjia has the heart to surrender to the imperial court, then He is willing to introduce Xiao Dangjia to him! ”
Xiao Tianjian walked back and forth in front of He, and sneered: "You are the general of the defeated army, why are you so arrogant?" Do you think that the court to which your uncle and nephew are loyal still has a few years to toss? Your uncle and nephew are known as fierce generals, but they can't even defeat my fledgling Xingtian Army, so what kind of face do you have to persuade me to surrender to the imperial court? ”
This sentence was like a slap in He Fang's face, which made He Fang suddenly surge in anger, and said angrily: "You are just a bunch of thieves, how can you be the opponent of the imperial court, it is easy for the imperial court to exterminate you, but you are beyond your strength!" ”
"Oh? Then I'm surprised, I'm afraid it's been nearly ten years since the uprising of the rebels! So can the imperial court exterminate all the rebels? Doesn't it make the rebels more and more fierce? The imperial court has repeatedly given gifts, in addition to making the common people miserable, but what else has been done? Whether it is the rebel army in the hinterland or the Eastern Tatars outside the Guan, how many great victories has the imperial court achieved? I'd love to make a bet on you, I bet that your uncle will not end up well in the end if he follows the court like this! If you don't believe it, we can wait and see, the world of the Zhu family has also come to an end, and I understand that the Ming Dynasty will not last for ten years at most! Xiao Tianjian continued to sneer and said to He Fang.
He Fang was angry and shouted: "Hugh is full of nonsense, the current saint is a Ming monarch, how can he die so easily, you won't be prosperous for long, let's see!" I, Hefang, will never surrender to a thief like you! If you want to kill or scrape, you are it, Hugh wants to make such a big statement in front of He again! ”
Zhang Chao saw that He Fang was still so arrogant, so he was angry and wanted to pull out his knife and cut He Fang, but Xiao Tianjian raised his hand and said, "Don't embarrass General He!" Everyone has their own aspirations, since General He is so convinced that the current emperor is capable of turning the tide, then I will give General He a chance to see how he can turn the tide! General He, I, Xiao, also respect you as a man, the two armies are unsympathetic in front of the formation, Xiao Mou is so offended! Where should the general trend of the world go, General He may as well walk and see! Look at what I, Xiao Mou, will say wrong! I won't kill you today, I can let you go now, I hope you remember my words, the mountains don't turn, and we estimate that we will meet another day! When the time comes, let's talk about today's affairs. ”
He Fang's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he couldn't believe Xiao Tianjian's words, and said, "You said you were going to let me go?" Aren't you afraid that when I go back, I will lead the army to you again to fight to the death? ”
"Not bad! You and I don't have a deep hatred, so why should I kill you? As for meeting each other on the battlefield, that's what we do, you are for the current Zhu family, and I am for the people of the world, it is useless to keep you, and it will not do me any good to kill you! So it's better to let you go, as for what you're going to do, I don't care, but do you think you are sure that you can defeat my Xingtian Army on the battlefield? If you have such skills, then I, Xiao, am waiting for you to come to me for revenge! Come! Open General He's iron shackles, and I will personally send General He out of the camp! Xiao Tianjian smiled indifferently and said to He Fang.
"General! He is the ...... of the He madman," Zhang Chao immediately opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Xiao Tianjian.
"Needless to say, I have made up my mind and will never break my word! Let go of General He! Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop Zhang Chao's words.
Zhang Chao had no choice but to wave his hand, and two soldiers guarding He Fang came over and removed the iron shackles on He Fang's wrists and ankles.
He Fang moved his wrists and ankles in disbelief, looking at Xiao Tianjian and not knowing what Xiao Tianjian meant, Xiao Tianjian raised his hand and made a gesture to send off the guest, and He Fang walked towards the gate suspiciously.
When they walked outside the gate, Xiao Tianjian beckoned someone to send a waist knife, raised his hand and threw it to He Fang, and said to him: "That's it!" I'm not far away! If there is a shortage of horses in the army, the general's war horse will not be returned, but there are chaotic people everywhere, and it is always not safe for General He to go on the road empty-handed, so this knife will be given to General He for self-defense! I would like to advise General He, now that Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng are besieging Longzhou City, it is better for the general to go elsewhere for the time being, Xiao thinks that Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng will not be able to capture Longzhou City this time, so General He can wait until they withdraw from the siege, and then go to Longzhou to join your uncle! General He, please! ”
He Fang caught the waist knife that Xiao Tianjian threw to him, his face changed a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Anyway, I, He Fang, still want to thank Xiao for not killing him, today's incident He has written down, but if he meets the general on the battlefield again another day, He will still be merciless to Xiao Dangjia!" If Xiao Dang's family falls into the hands of He one day, then He should also repay the general's grace of not killing this time, and he will also let the general go once! Farewell! ”
Xiao Tianjian also arched his hand and said, "It's not necessary!" Xiao is confident that he will not be defeated by General He, but if we meet again next time, General He will be captured by Xiao again, then how about asking General He to surrender to Xiao's account! Leave! ”
He Fang suddenly showed a look of pride, and hugged his fists heavily: "There will never be a next time, if He is captured by Xiao Dangjia again, then He will be willing to act as a pawn in front of Xiao Dang's tent to lead the stirrups for Xiao Dang's family!" ”
"Good! Deal! I don't send it! Xiao Tianjian nodded.
He Fang didn't say anything more, turned around and strode into the dark place outside the camp, leaving the camp of the Xingtian Army.
After seeing He Fang away, Xiao Tianjian walked outside the camp with Tietou, and did not bring other guards, just the two of them slowly patrolled around the camp, standing on top of a mound, Xiao Tianjian looked at the moon in the sky, turned his head to look at the iron head who was always standing behind him, and asked the iron head: "When you get here, it's not far from Qingyang Mansion!" What direction is your Zhaojiazhuang in Qingyang Mansion? ”
Tietou was suddenly a little excited at this moment, took a deep breath and asked, "Is it possible that the eldest brother will lead the army to our Zhaojiazhuang this time?" ”
Xiao Tianjian turned his head and looked at the night sky in the north: "Why not?" I remember what I promised you, that if you consider me a brother, then I will consider you a brother! Since I promised you, then I will take it to heart! This time we are leaving the territory of Shaanxi, I don't know when we will be able to come back, and now all kinds of rebels are moving around in Shaanxi, if we are one step late, won't we be able to avenge you? So since you're leaving, this time you'll get your revenge! I promised you that I would do it! ”
After hearing this, Tietou knelt behind Xiao Tianjian with a plop, kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian a few times, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, big brother!" Tietou has nothing to repay your eldest brother in this life, and this life is also given to Tietou by his eldest brother, so as long as this revenge is taken, Tietou has no regrets even if he dies! ”
Xiao Tianjian said dishappily: "Stand up for me!" For so long, the most reassuring thing for me is you, I also treat you as a brother, your hatred is naturally my hatred, if you don't even avenge your family, then how to talk about doing big things?
Tell me about it! Where are you Zhaojiazhuang in Qingyang Mansion......"
