Chapter 53: Prestige Falls
The fire paths around the fire were quickly cleared.
Fang Tao and Chang Shen returned, and the two reported the situation to Zhang Song in a low voice, and Zhang Song whispered to Fang Tao, "Be appeased, don't be bound", and the two left again. When the two left, Zhang Song instructed again, "Send someone to search to see if there are any Mengshan thieves who have escaped the net."
After Zhong Lei led people to clean up the fire path, he came to Zhang Song.
"Zhong Jun, are all the grain we brought back this morning stacked here?" Zhang Song asked.
"Yes." Zhong Lei replied worriedly.
When the soldiers around heard this, their expressions were all blank, or they stood dumbfounded, or sat on the ground in a daze, and everyone knew that there was no more food in the Green Pine Valley, and they saw golden grain in the morning, but in the evening it turned into nothing, and this turned their heads dizzy.
"Have you found your heart? Ah, did you find it? ”
Yu Minzhi rushed over, and as soon as she arrived, she kept grabbing the soldiers and asking them one by one. The questioned soldier did not have many answers, just indifference. The captives of the Mengshan thieves made it very clear that Yu Xinzhi was sent by Yu Minzhi to get gold, and Mengshan thieves entered the valley with the help of Xinzhi, which made almost all the soldiers disgusted with Minzhi and Yu Xinzhi.
"Tell me! Why don't you speak? Seeing that no one answered, Yu Minzhi became angry, she grabbed the placket of a soldier's shirt and asked.
Yu Minzhi has always relied on her younger brother for her life, but now that her younger brother is gone, no soldier cares, which exposes her bad temper that she has always hidden well.
Although she lost her temper, Yu Minzhi still didn't get any answer, the soldier she grabbed by the placket was Zhou Mingshu's subordinate, who followed Zeng Zhangsong to Xidong to raise food yesterday, because of the battle with the Xidong thieves, he was also seriously injured. The soldier stared at her coldly, his eyes filled with indifference and contempt.
The indifference and contempt in the soldier's eyes infuriated Yu Minzhi, and in a fit of rage, she slapped the soldier hard.
"Horn!"
The sudden crisp slap woke up the surrounding soldiers, who stood up with their eyes glaring at Yu Minzhi.
Yu Minzhi was startled at first, then furious, she screamed: "What are you doing! Do you still want to rebel? ”
Listening to Yu Minzhi's words, the soldiers who stood up did not flinch, but they did not take further action, but just confronted Yu Minzhi.
Zhang Song heard the movement here, so he walked over with Zhong Lei. Zhong Lei stepped forward directly to comfort Yu Minzhi, and Zhang Song walked up to the soldier and comforted the soldier.
"Madame, don't be in a hurry. We have sent a search of this part of Taniguchi, but we have not found Yu Xinzhi's body, and Yu Xinzhi should still be alive. Zhang Song stepped forward to comfort Yu Minzhi.
"He's not your brother, of course you're not in a hurry!" Yu Minzhi yelled at Zhang Song.
Zhang Song frowned, but still said patiently: "The captive of the Mengshan thieves just now also said that Yu Xinzhi was fine, they didn't kill him. ”
"Can you believe what the Mengshan robbers and captives say?" Yu Minzhi still yelled at Zhang Song, "The captives of the Mengshan thieves are simply nonsense. ”
Zhang Song was also impatient, he glanced at Yu Min lightly and did not speak again.
"I'm sure he's fine, he's so clever, maybe he's hiding somewhere, and we've sent someone to find him. Madam, don't worry! Zhong Lei comforted.
Yu Minzhi got down the stairs, and he didn't make trouble anymore, but he was sad and earnest, crying non-stop, and very sad.
Zhang Song stood still, waiting for the results of Fang Tao's search.
"Let's go! I'll kill you if I don't leave! ”
Several soldiers pushed and shoved a man who had blood on his face and his clothes were about to be torn to pieces.
"Liu Liusheng, who are you arresting?" Zhang Song recognized the person at the head at a glance, it was the clever gate guard Liu Liusheng.
Liu Liusheng ran to Zhang Song and said loudly: "Zhang Jun, we caught a thief who set fire!" ”
Yu Minzhi, who was crying, raised his head suddenly, and stepped in front of Liu Liusheng in a few steps.
"Liu Liusheng, what about the heart? Where is he? ”
"Madam, Yu Jun followed the flying dragon into the valley, and I don't know where to run after entering the valley?" Liu Liusheng saw that it was Yu Minzhi, and his face changed.
"Follow the Wyvern into the valley? You're just farting! Yu Minzhi scolded, and stepped forward to slap Liu Liusheng.
Liu Liusheng was slapped suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry, he pointed at the captive with a gloomy face and said to Minzhi: "Is it Yu Xinzhi who led the Flying Dragon Thief into the Green Pine Valley, you just ask him!" Do I need to lie? ”
"Come on, did Yu Xinzhi take you into the valley?" When Zhong Lei heard this, he shouted and asked the captive.
"Yes, it was Yu Xinzhi who led us to trick the guards into opening the gate and sneaking in, and later he also took us to find the place where the grain was stacked." The captive looked up and said with a smile.
"Good thief, at this point, you still dare to frame your heart, you really damn it!"
Yu Min stepped forward fiercely, snatched a spear from the soldier's hand, and pierced the prisoner's chest with a spear.
"Madam, you killed him, where to ask Yu Xinzhi for news, Yu Xinzhi was with them in the end!" Liu Liusheng was surprised when he saw that Yu Minzhi actually killed the captive.
Yu Min was stunned, and instantly became angry again, and said, "Fart!" That thief is obviously a rumor, and you still believe him! I think you are in the same league as the thieves, that is, you have been the thief's internal response, and you let the thief into the valley and planted it in your heart, otherwise, as the guard of the gate, why are you safe and sound? ”
I have to say that Yu Minzhi is a little anxious, and the question is to the point. Although Zhang Song believes that Liu Liusheng is not the internal response of the Mengshan thieves, because as long as he is a child of the Han family, he will not take the initiative to take refuge in the flying dragon thieves who are mainly Hu people at this time, but Zhang Song is also very strange, the gate of Qingsong Valley has been broken by thieves, and the other guards are also dead, why is Liu Liusheng not having anything to do?
The other soldiers in Qingsong Valley obviously also had this question, and for a while, Liu Liusheng became the focus of the audience.
Liu Liusheng was a little anxious for a while, but he was still very calm, he said loudly: "When Yu Xinzhi brought the thief here, I happened to go to Gong, and when I came back, the gate in the valley had been opened, and the thief was entering the valley. And the gate to Taniguchi was also closed by me. ”
Combined with the sound of the gong they heard, everyone understood at once that Liu Liusheng was telling the truth.
"It's nonsense, even if it's as you say, you're running away, and it's also a capital offense. Come! Cut Liu Liusheng! Yu Minzhi's expression was grim and his tone was sharp.
"Yes!" When several of Yu Minzhi's entourage heard about it, they immediately stepped forward and wanted to arrest Liu Liusheng.
"Slow!" Zhang Song and Zhong Lei shouted in unison, "Stop them!" ”
Several of Zhong Lei's subordinates immediately stepped forward to stop Yu Minzhi's entourage from arresting Liu Liusheng, and the two sides immediately confronted each other.
Yu Minzhi ignored the soldiers on both sides of the confrontation, but turned his eyes to Zhong Lei, and said gloomily: "Zhong Lei, do you still want to replace me as the lord of Qingsong Valley?" ”
Although Zhong Lei has always wanted to get rid of Yu Minzhi and Zhou Mingshu's fiddling with him, but in front of everyone's eyes, he was suddenly asked by Yu Minzhi, and he couldn't help but be confused, and couldn't help but say: "My subordinates have no such intentions!" ”
Yu Min's heart was relieved, and his face flashed with a hint of joy that no one noticed, and he looked at the other soldiers of Qingsong Valley, and said, "Zhong Lei has no such intentions, does any of you want to replace me as the lord of Qingsong Valley?" ”
All the soldiers shook their heads a little in confusion.
"Then don't you cut Liu Liusheng, a traitor, to me! Do you still want to disobey? Yu Minzhi shouted sharply.
When Zhong Lei's subordinates heard this, they hesitated to leave, and let Min Zhi arrest Liu Liusheng.
"No!" Zhang Song stood up, "The people of Qingsong Valley regard you as the master, hoping that you can judge right and wrong, defend against foreign enemies, and protect the public." But now your brother led Mengshan into the valley, not only killed and injured the soldiers of Qingsong Valley, but also burned all the grain, so that the soldiers of Qingsong Valley will run out of food from tomorrow, and in order to protect your younger brother, you actually framed Liu Liusheng, who had meritorious service in warning, what you did was not at all consistent with the lord of Qingsong Valley! Why not disobey orders! ”
Zhang Song's words were well-founded and eloquent. Zhong Lei's subordinates made up their minds, so they stepped forward again and protected Liu Liusheng.
Seeing this, Yu Minzhi was so angry that he could hardly say a sentence, but he just pointed at Zhang Song and them trembling all over, "You, you, you ......"
"Sister, I'm sorry for you! I was also forced by the Flying Dragon Thieves to lead the way into the Green Pine Valley. "Yu Xinzhi's voice suddenly came from the hinterland of Qingsong Valley.
"Heart? Heart! You're alive! That's great! Yu Minzhi said in surprise after hearing this.
Just when Yu Minzhi took a few steps to meet Yu Xinzhi, Yu Xinzhi's next words made him freeze.
"Sister, don't blame me, they will only let me go if they find the food with the flying dragon thieves, and I didn't expect them to set fire to the food."
After Yu Xinzhi finished speaking, the soldiers standing at Taniguchi all looked at Yu Minzhi with disgust, and there was still hatred in them.
Feeling the gaze of the soldiers of Qingsong Valley, Yu Minzhi couldn't help but feel cold all over her body, she wanted to be angry with her heart in order to win over the soldiers of Qingsong Valley, but thinking of what happened today, she couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
Yu Minzhi thought so in his heart, but he didn't relax, he went towards Yu Xinzhi, saw Yu Minzhi, and was settled in his heart, kneeling in front of Yu Minzhi and crying.
When people who don't know hear it, they will think that Yu Xinzhi has suffered a lot of grievances, but his clothes are intact and his face is white, obviously he has not gone through a fierce fight, and it is impossible to be injured.
"Heart, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Yu Minzhi picked himself up in his heart and left with the disdain of the soldiers.
