Chapter 40: Ruining Your Plans
After Zhou Mingshu's death, Yu Minzhi, who returned to Qingsong Valley, had the demeanor of the lord of a valley, and she issued a series of orders in a few moments, arranging Zhou Mingshu's guardians, designating the place where Zhou Mingshu's body was parked, arranging the guards at the mouth of the valley, and so on.
With Yu Minzhi's arrangement, the soldiers in the open space in front of the council hall gradually decreased. Chang Shen, accompanied by the lightly wounded who came to watch, went back. In addition to the ironsmiths, the craftsmen of the ironworks also returned to the ironworks. The hustle and bustle of the Green Pine Valley slowly regained its calm.
"Let's go to the council hall and discuss some things in the valley." Yu Minzhi said to Zhong Lei, Fang Tao and others who were still in place.
Yu Minzhi, Zhou Fang, Zhong Lei, Fang Tao and others entered the conference hall together.
Zhang Song and the iron guy were about to follow them in, but they were stopped by Yu Xinzhi's personal entourage, "The council hall is a place where people in Qingsong Valley deliberate, you are an outsider, you can't go in!" ”
"I've made a great contribution to the Green Pine Valley, and I have long regarded myself as a member of the Green Pine Valley, so why can't I go in!" Zhang Song's tone was calm, but his expression was firm.
Yu Xinzhi's entourage didn't know how to answer for a while, but he still stopped Zhang Song, and just turned his head to Yu Xinzhi for help.
Yu Xinzhi ignored it, and Yu Minzhi spoke: "Zhang Song, you are indeed not from Qingsong Valley, just wait outside first." ”
"Madam, Zhang Jun has made great contributions to Qingsong Valley, if it weren't for him, the siege of Qingsong Valley would not have been able to be unraveled!" Zhong Lei said.
"But Zhang Song is really not from Qingsong Valley? I haven't heard when Qingsong Valley accepted Zhang Song? Zhou Fang suddenly interjected.
Zhong Lei was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Zhou Fang to help, speaking of which, this is the second time that Zhou Fang has helped Yu Minzhi today. He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about why Zhou Fang would help.
"Then let the iron striker in. He's from the Green Pine Valley! Fang Tao also knew that it was probably impossible to let Zhang Song enter the council hall under the current situation, so he retreated to the next best.
When the iron man heard this, he was about to enter the council hall.
However, Yu Xinzhi's personal entourage stopped him again.
"Why is that?" Zhong Lei said.
Zhang Song knew why, and sure enough, Yu Xinzhi spoke.
"The iron man is a slave, where is he qualified to enter the council hall!"
Although many people left, some people remained, but those who stayed in front of the council hall were basically Yu Minzhi's subordinates, and all the people who had followed Zhang Song's night attack were all ordered by Yu Minzhi.
When mentioning that Zhang Song was not from Qingsong Valley, the people left in front of the council hall talked about it and pointed at Zhang Song, and at this time, the voice became louder. Most of these voices are accusations against Zhang Song and the iron man.
Listening to these disturbing voices in his ears, Zhang Song understood Yu Minzhi's intentions, which was nothing more than to create public opinion, wanting to create a rift between him and the people in Qingsong Valley, and to separate him from Qingsong Valley.
Zhang Song sneered in his heart, knowing Yu Minzhi's intentions, he would let her plan fall through if he didn't enter the council hall.
Just when Zhong Lei and Fang Tao were about to get angry, Zhang Song said: "Since this is the case, then I will wait outside with the iron guy." ”
Yu Xinzhi listened and smiled proudly at Zhang Song.
Zhong Lei and Fang Tao listened and looked at Zhang Song suspiciously. Zhang Song waved his hand to the two of them, indicating that he was fine.
Zhong Lei and Fang Tao put their minds at ease and followed Yu Minzhi and others into the meeting hall, and the door of the meeting hall was closed.
In the open space in front of the council hall, the soldiers relaxed, slouching or sitting, standing, or leaning against the wall.
Zhang Song found a big stone at the door and invited the iron strikers to sit down together.
"Some people want to enter the council hall with a small merit, but he doesn't know that this small merit is also made by the soldiers who follow the Green Pine Valley, otherwise he is afraid that he will lose his life outside." This is a personal entourage of Yu Xinzhi, who had a conflict with Zhang Song in the iron-smelting yard, and holds a grudge, and now he will be sarcastic.
"Yes, I can't get into the council hall, I'm embarrassed to stay here, if it were me, I would have left a long time ago, it can be seen that some people are naturally cheeky." One of Chen Jia's relatives echoed and squeezed.
"What are you talking nonsense? See that I don't kill you! ”
The experience of the night attack has baptized the spirit of the iron guy, and the previous mentality of seeking perfection has changed unconsciously, and he is unwilling to let himself be wronged again. Faced with the sarcasm of Xinzhi and Chen Jia's personal entourage, the iron guy became furious, he pulled out his knife with a "swoop", got up and was about to rush towards the two of them.
Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia's entourage sneered, waiting for the iron guy to rush up, and three other people approached the two retinues. The other soldiers' eyes lit up, expecting a clash to unfold.
Zhang Song grabbed the iron guy, those people were obviously premeditated, he didn't want the iron guy to fall into someone else's trap.
"Come here! If you have the ability, you can come here! How? Scared? Forgive me for not daring! You lowly slave! Yu Xinzhi's entourage teased the iron guy lightly, and his tone was full of disdain.
The soldiers burst into laughter, and their eyes were a little more contemptuous of the iron guy and Zhang Song.
The iron guy's face was red, his eyes were full of anger, and he was about to break free from Zhang Song.
"Don't be impulsive!" Zhang Song continued to pull the iron guy, "Listen to me!" ”
When the iron guy heard this, he suppressed the anger in his heart and stopped struggling.
Zhang Song stood up and slowly walked towards Yu Xinzhi's entourage, staring at him coldly. Yu Xinzhi's entourage panicked for some reason, and under Zhang Song's forced gaze, he involuntarily took two steps back, and then felt that something was wrong before he forcibly stopped calmly.
Facing the personal entourage of Yu Xinzhi, Zhang Song said coldly to the personal entourage of Xinzhi: "We worked hard all night, risked our lives, broke the Mengshan thieves besieging Qingsong Valley, and killed and injured more than half of the Mengshan thieves, if this is just a small credit, I don't know why you used your strength yesterday to seize this small credit?" ”
"I didn't deny the credit of the night raiding soldiers, I'm talking about you, you don't deliberately confuse it." The person who followed him in his heart was not a brainless person.
"Last night's night raid was commanded by me, and all the strategies were laid out by me, and it was because of my proper command that the night raid was a great success. Do you think you have what it takes? Zhang Song sneered, "If there is, why didn't you make a noise when the valley selected personnel, could it be that you didn't want Qingsong Valley to break the siege?" ”
"Who knows if you commanded it? Maybe it's the gut that commands you, and you take the credit from him. Yu Xinzhi's entourage was forced to be anxious by Zhang Song.
"You are wrong, the night attack was commanded by Zhang Jun, there is no doubt about it!" Chang Shen didn't know when he came over with a group of wounded people, he pointed to a few people standing next to him, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them!" ”
Chang Shen pointed to the subordinates of Yu Minzhi who participated in the night attack, and when they saw it, they all nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.
Seeing this, Yu Xinzhi's personal entourage had nothing to say, but he was still unconvinced, and he "hummed" in his nostrils, ignoring Chang Shen and the others.
"You must have never participated in a fierce battle when you spoke like that, right?" Zhang Song didn't want to let go of this opportunity, "If you fight to the death once like the iron guy did last night, you shouldn't be disrespectful." ”
"What's your business!" Yu Xinzhi's entourage angrily reprimanded, he is Yu Xinzhi's personal entourage, and he is usually only responsible for protecting Yu Xinzhi's safety, and Yu Minzhi never wants Yu Xinzhi to participate in the battle, so as not to have an accident, of course, he doesn't have to participate in the battle.
"That is, you have never participated in a fierce battle, you have never participated in a battle, so why do you judge us veterans who have experienced bloodshed?" Zhang Song's tone was calm, and he pointed to the soldiers around him.
The surrounding soldiers all looked at the retinue in their hearts, with coldness in their eyes, quietly waiting for his answer.
Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia's entourage were lonely, and everyone didn't know when they distanced themselves from those relatives. Presumably, those few relatives are also very arrogant, and they don't take ordinary soldiers in their eyes, the estrangement has long existed, and now after Zhang Song's words, it naturally emerged.
In the few eyes that looked at Zhang Song and the iron man, the soldiers were a little less contemptuous and a little more warm.
Zhang Song smiled in his heart, he did some work temporarily, and it still had some effect, as long as he worked harder, Yu Minzhi's plan to isolate himself among the soldiers of Qingsong Valley would definitely fail.
"Can you handle it?" Yu Xinzhi's entourage held his head high and said to Zhang Song disdainfully.
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they were in an uproar, and there was a little more hostility in their eyes when they looked at Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia. Because the words of Yu Xinzhi's personal companion are tantamount to saying, I can do whatever I love, what about you?
Seeing that the people around him were not waiting to see him, Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia's relatives then left.
"Come, come, come, let's get to know, this is Zhang Song, the hero who led us to the victory of the night attack on the Mengshan bandits!" As soon as those relatives left, Chang Shen couldn't wait to introduce Zhang Songlai.
Whether it was the wounded who came with Chang Shen, or the soldiers who were originally in the open space in front of the council hall, they all looked at Zhang Song and Chang Shen. Chang Shen's reputation in Qingsong Valley has always been good, and since he said that Zhang Song is a hero, there must be a basis.
"Zhang Jun is a hero, you tell us about it!" Someone in the crowd said.
"Okay, then I'll tell you!" Chang Shen stood on a stone and waved his hand to everyone.
Everyone soon quieted down, and Chang Shen explained in detail why Zhang Song chose to launch a night attack in the early hours of the morning, how to arrange personnel to kill the sentry posts, how to send people to kill the enemy one by one tent by tent while the night was dark, and how to take the opportunity to set fire to the enemy when he found out.
Zhang Song sat on the side with a calm face, as if Chang Shen was not talking about him.
