Chapter 64: Goodbye to the Old Friend
It took a long time for Chuanyun to leave and come back.
Before Chuanyun came back, Zhang Song and the others learned some information from Siniang.
A few days ago in the evening, the Flying Dragon Thieves suddenly came to Yongping County and began to attack Yongping County.
Although there were still people in charge of the thieves' lookout at that time, and they also discovered the arrival of the flying dragon thieves in advance, but because the flying dragon thieves came on fast horses, and since Zhang Song left, Yongping County was a little carried away because of the last time he repelled the thieves' attacks, and he also relaxed his vigilance, and as a result, the flying dragon thieves quickly invaded Yongping County.
The flying dragon thieves who invaded the county seat of Yongping did not entangle with the people, but directly attacked the barriers of the county government, the Wang family and the Li family. It is reported that whether it is the county government, or the Wang family and the Li family, they soon surrendered to the flying dragon thieves, and Yongping County fell in less than half a day.
After that, the dragon thieves immediately gathered the young adults in Yongping County to build a palace in the north of the city, and ordered that only people were allowed to enter Yongping County, and no one was allowed to go out.
"Siniang, are there many flying dragon thieves attacking Yongping County?" Zhang Song asked.
"Not much." Siniang shook her head and said, "At best, there are about a hundred people!" ”
"Are all the hundred or so people here?"
"I don't know, the flying dragon thieves often come and go from Yongping County these days, and I don't know how many flying dragon thieves are staying in Yongping County now." Siniang sighed.
"Did they carry food in and out?"
"Nope." Siniang was worried that she didn't go into enough detail, so she added, "There is neither food brought in nor food shipped out." ”
Zhang Song thought for a while, turned his head and asked, "Chang Shen, how far is the den of Mengshan thieves from here?" ”
"It's about ten miles away." Chang Shen thought for a moment and replied.
Zhang Song nodded, did not speak again, but looked up outside, it was already dark outside, Chuanyun still did not come back, Zhang Song was a little worried.
Gradually, the streets outside, where there had been no movement, began to see the sound of human footsteps and whispered conversations. The voices slowly came from afar, and then slowly faded away.
Time passed gradually, Siniang was about to prepare food, Chuanyun still didn't come back, and Zhang Song paced in the house uneasily. Siniang was very relieved, she was preparing food and comforting Zhang Song.
The sound of people passing by outside the house stopped, and only the sound of Siniang cooking food was left inside and outside the house.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open.
The torches lit in the house were almost blown out by the wind blowing from the door.
Through the flickering firelight, Zhang Song found that Chuanyun was pushed into the room, and the man standing behind Chuanyun grabbed Chuanyun's neck with his left hand.
Chang Shen reacted the fastest, quickly grabbed a wooden stick next to him, and swung it at the man's neck before he had time to guard as soon as he appeared.
With a flick of his left hand, the man pushed Chuanyun away, and at the same time, the knife in his right hand slashed the wooden stick in Chang Shen's hand with a wave.
Chang Shen did not retreat but advanced, and an arrow step took advantage of the deception to the man, and hit the man with a punch.
The man's left hand let go of Chuanyun, took two steps forward, and clenched his fist to meet Chang Shen's fist. The two of them touched their fists and each took a step back, and they were actually evenly matched.
When the two fought fiercely, their bodies changed, and the wind they brought up blew the fire in the house to the point of extinguishing.
When He Qinghong attacked the person who entered the house in Chang Shen, he quickly came to Zhang Song's side, holding a piece of firewood as thick as his arm, and was on guard. And Kong Yi stood beside Siniang, holding a burning stick in his hand, while protecting Siniang, looking for an opportunity to fight the person with Chang Shen.
After the man let go of Chuanyun, Zhang Song quickly looked into the air and pulled Chuanyun to himself and his side.
At this time, Kong Yi joined the battle group with a burning stick, and the three of them soon fought fiercely.
Because the man was holding a long knife, although Chang Shen and Kong Yi were two people, they still couldn't restrain that person, and even were faintly at a disadvantage.
After a few rounds of attack and defense, both sides were tired, and after the last attack and defense separated, the man stopped and gasped like Chang Shen and Kong Yi.
"Big ...... Big brother? When the torch burned back to normal, Zhang Song looked at the man's somewhat familiar face and exclaimed.
"Zhang Song! Are you okay? Take care of yourself and take you away when I take down these thieves. Li Shan said in surprise.
"Brother Li Shan, don't fight, it's your own person!" Zhang Song hurriedly stopped.
"Zhang Jun, he took refuge in the Flying Dragon Thief, maybe the Flying Dragon Thief sent to arrest us!" Often deep grinding fist Huo Huo.
"No, the eldest brother won't join the Flying Dragon Thief, otherwise he wouldn't have come alone!" Zhang Songdao.
Chang Shen listened to Zhang Song's words before he eliminated his hostility towards Li Shan, but he was still standing at the door of the room, obviously still on guard.
"As soon as I arrived at your house after finishing work, I heard this kid call Xiaolan and Xiaoli to come here, so I asked what was the matter, but the kid didn't say anything, and even prevented Xiaolan and Xiaoli from explaining the situation, I was worried that he was using your news to deliberately trick Xiaolan and Xiaoli to come over, so I escorted him here." Li Shan explained to Zhang Song the reason for escorting Chuanyun over.
"I asked Chuanyun to go, I was in a hurry for a while, and I didn't think about it comprehensively enough, but I made Chuanyun feel wronged." Zhang Song apologized to Chuanyun.
Chuanyun rolled his eyes at Zhang Song again, and snorted in his mouth, but didn't say anything. Siniang gently stroked Chuanyun's head and comforted Chuanyun.
Li Shan asked about Zhang Song's recent situation, and Zhang Song told Li Shan in detail what happened. Later, Zhang Song asked about his mother, younger brother and sister, and when he learned from Li Shankou that his relatives were fine, Zhang Song's mood was much brighter.
"Big brother, I heard that you are working for the Wyvern Thief right now?" After several hesitations, Zhang Song still asked this question openly and honestly.
Listening to Zhang Song's question, everyone else in the room faintly expressed their contempt for Li Shan.
Li Shan smiled bitterly a few times and said: "At that time, when the Flying Dragon Thieves attacked the county government, I was out on a mission to hunt down a thief, and when I came back, the county commander Yang Xing had already led people to surrender to the Flying Dragon Thieves. is alone, and everyone in the county knows that I am good friends with your family, and I don't dare to dismiss Yang Xing's intentions. ”
Zhang Song solemnly saluted Li Shan and said, "Because of my matter, the eldest brother has been wronged, thank you for the eldest brother's care of his mother, Xiaolan and Xiaoli!" ”
Li Shan hurriedly returned the salute to Zhang Song.
Chang Shen and the others listened, and then put away their contempt for Li Shan.
"Zhang Song, are you coming back this time to pick up your aunt, Xiaolan, and Xiaoli to leave?" Li Shan asked.
"Yes, I don't feel at ease in Yongping County!" Zhang Song nodded and said, "I don't know if the eldest brother has a way to get out of the city?" ”
Li Shan thought for a while and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult, now the city gate has always been controlled by the flying dragon thieves, and the people of the county government can't touch the city gate at all." ”
Zhang Song's heart sank, but he still didn't give up, and asked, "Is there no other way?" ”
"It's not that there isn't, in addition to going through the city gate, you can climb down from the city wall, I know a place where you can avoid the dragon thieves and go up to the city wall, but this method is also dangerous, because the dragon thieves will patrol the city wall, and it is easy to encounter the dragon thieves." Li Shan's face was a little ugly.
Zhang Song understood what Li Shan meant, and took his mother, younger brother and sister to climb down the city wall, it would take a lot of time, and he would definitely be discovered by the Flying Dragon Thieves.
If you can't escape and are discovered by the Wyvern Thief, you will be trapped in the disadvantage of your relatives, and you will harm them. Now that the Flying Dragon Thief doesn't know about Zhang Song's existence, his mother, Xiaolan and Xiaoli are safer. Pacing back and forth, Zhang Song still couldn't think of a good way, and he couldn't make up his mind.
"All the dragon thieves who killed this day deserve to die, we have to kill them all!" Chang said with deep hatred.
"Of course it's good to be able to kill them all, so you don't have to bother, just take Zhang Jun's relatives back. But now it's just a few of us, and there's no way to kill them all! Kong Yi sighed.
Kong Yi's words made Zhang Song's heart light up, yes, why save it, isn't it good to take it back openly?
"Big brother, how many flying dragon thieves are there in Yongping County now?" Zhang Song asked.
"Now there are about sixty or so people, and some of them have left."
"Only sixty?" Zhang Song said in surprise, "Then why didn't Yang Xing unite with the Wang family and the Li family to kill these sixty people and recapture Yongping County?" ”
Li Shan smiled bitterly again and said: "First, these sixty flying dragon thieves are all capable people and equipped with a full set of iron weapons, second, the county commander Yang Xing has been frightened by the flying dragon thieves and only wants to save his own life, and third, the flying dragon thieves have committed nothing against the Wang family and Li Jiaqiu, and as long as the Wang family and the Li family can protect their own interests, they will not care about you else." ”
Zhang Song was dumbfounded, he just felt that Yang Xing was inactive, he was just patting the sycophants of the family, and he didn't take the interests of the people to heart, so he couldn't imagine that he was still such a spineless person.
"How many dragon thieves are guarding the gate at night?" Zhang Song thought about it and asked.
"It's usually around ten."
"Are they staying together?"
"How many soldiers are there in the county office?"
"If we attack Yongping County, what will be the position of the Wang family and the Li family?"
……
Zhang Song asked Li Shan everything about the Flying Dragon Thief in detail, and Li Shan patiently answered them one by one.
"Big brother, go back and tell my mother, Xiaolan, and Xiaoli that I didn't come to Yongping County." Zhang Song finally told Li Shan.
"Aren't you going back and seeing them?" Li Shan asked in surprise.
"No, it's not appropriate to go to them now, it might be dangerous for them."
Li Shan thought about it, then understood, and said, "That's too." ”
Li Shan told Zhang Song to wait for him to come back before acting, then pushed open the door and strode away.
"Zhang Jun, what should we do? Do you want to go back now? He Qinghong asked.
"No, since we're here, we'll have to find out what's going on and go back." Zhang Songdao.
Under Siniang's greeting, Zhang Song and a few others quickly finished their meal and left with Li Shan, who had returned.
