Chapter 103: Saving the Strong [I]
Although Zhang Mancang and the others were close to Zhuang, they didn't notice anything unusual in his mouth, and only felt that the Qin slave in front of him was covered in bruises and bruises at this time, and there was an indescribable perseverance and determination on his face. By the time they reacted, it was too late.
"Poof!"
Zhuang broke his mouth and squirted a mouthful of blood on Zhang Mancang's angry old face, and then he opened his mouth and laughed wildly on his back.
"What the fuck you!"
Seeing this, the little general was so angry that he scolded viciously, and the horsewhip in his hand was raised high again. Just as the horsewhip was about to be slammed on the top of Zhuang's head, Zhang Mancang stretched out his withered old hand and firmly locked the little general's hand in mid-air, making it unable to move.
"Veteran, you ......"
Zhang Mancang didn't speak, just glanced at Zhuang meaningfully, and then shook his head slightly and walked out of the military tent. The little general took back the horsewhip and looked at Xue Lao with a puzzled expression, but saw that the old man was also full of confusion.
"Grandpa Xue, what's wrong with General Zhang?" The little general asked.
Xue Lao replied: "If your whip really hits, even if this slave doesn't die immediately, he will definitely not be able to survive tomorrow!" ”
"So what? It's just a Qin slave! ”
Hearing this, Xue Lao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you beat him to death, you will be in his arms!" Isn't he biting his tongue just to cut himself off! ”
The little general suddenly realized when he heard Xue Lao's words, and glanced slightly at the piece of blood-red flesh on the ground like fire, and his slightly immature face became more and more cold. Thinking of Zhang Mancang's intriguing eyes when he looked at Zhuang, he realized at this time that the Qin slave in front of him, who was not much younger than himself, did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
"In that case, the boy is going to call the doctor. Want to die? Hmph, it's not that easy! The little general bowed his hand and said.
"Hmmm......"
When the little general saw Xue Lao's approval, he hurriedly walked out of the tent. Xue Lao gently dusted off the scattered blood stains splashed on his body, and his very indifferent old eyes looked at the howling Zhuang again, and then threw off his sleeves and left the tent. At this time, the night became darker and darker, and Zhuang screamed in the dark broken tent without five fingers, like a resigned ghost who had suffered capital punishment in hell. The soldiers near the broken tent were still concentrating on training as if they hadn't heard.
Because it is the first sunny day, the night sky is full of stars at this time. However, Zhao Zheng didn't have the heart to appreciate it, but frowned and nestled in the corner. Shen Lang knew that Zhao Zheng was nervous, and he couldn't help but gloat a little in his heart. Raising his eyelids slightly and glancing at the night sky, Shen Lang couldn't help but shake his head and said softly: "Master, it's so late, something should happen......
Zhao Zheng naturally heard Shen Lang's voice, and said angrily: "It's just a person from afar, what can it do?" Before Zhuang, he followed as a teacher, but he didn't realize it as a teacher, could it be that this old Zhang Tou is deeper than being a teacher? ”
Zhao Zheng's words made Shen Lang and Sun Sheng sneer in their hearts, in the eyes of his father and son, the master in front of him who knew everything was simply a little lacking in the technique of concealment, otherwise they would not have been tracked and monitored for so long. However, the two of them thought about it very much, after all, they still understood the principle of "specialization in the art industry". Although the two of them did not agree with Zhao Zheng's words, they still nodded their heads again and again. However, in order to avoid extraneous branches, after nodding, Shen Lang turned his words and knocked sideways: "What the master said is extremely true, but that Zhang Mancang has been dealing with the apprentice for a long time, if you talk about this tracking method, it is not under the apprentice......
Shen Lang's meaning is very clear, that is, to tell Zhao Zheng that in terms of tracking and anti-tracking, Zhang Mancang is on a par with the disciples of "Xuanmen". When Zhao Zheng heard Shen Lang say this, his originally calm face suddenly became a little more dignified.
"According to what you say, that Zhuang must have been noticed by that old man!" Zhao Zheng frowned.
"Highly likely!" Shen Lang nodded and praised.
"Hiss......"
Thinking that Zhuang was very likely to be caught by Zhang Mancang, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but gasp. Zhang Mancang's attitude towards the Qin people Zhao Zheng had personally experienced it, and he was sure that the captured Zhuang Shao had suffered a lot of flesh and skin. Zhao Zheng was scared at this time, he was worried that Zhuang would confess himself completely because he couldn't stand Zhang Mancang's torture. Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng's small hand, which he was holding weakly, inadvertently turned white.
"Lang'er, you and that Zhang Mancang are also old rivals, do you know where this person usually lives?" Zhao Zheng asked softly.
"Hmm......"
Shen Lang brushed his thoughts when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Since Zhang Mancang was transferred to the post of Handan City Defense, he has stationed his headquarters thirty or forty miles south of the city!" ”
"Thirty or forty miles south of the city...... Hiss...... It's quite close to that broken village, no wonder I met him there unexpectedly! Zhao Zheng muttered in his heart when he heard this.
"And what did he do before he was transferred?" Zhao Zheng asked.
"...... before transferring"
Shen Lang muttered in his mouth, and a trace of bitterness inadvertently appeared on the old face: "Before the transfer, this old man was in charge of Qin affairs!" There is a secret army similar to 'Xuan' under its account, called 'Underworld', dedicated to countering us! This secret army of the Zhao State has brought endless trouble to us and others! If it weren't for the 'underworld' constraints, where would Zhao Guo be able to survive until now! ”
"Hiss......"
Shen Lang's words made Zhao Zheng feel surprised, he thought that the existence of 'Xuan' was just a case, and it could even be said to be an accident in history, where would he have thought that this kind of army was not a new thing.
"So, 'Hell' was created by Zhang Mancang?" Zhao Zheng asked
"Definitely!" Shen Lang shook his head and denied.
"'Xuan' and 'Underworld' have been living together for more than ten years! Zhao Mancang is just one of the generations in charge over the years! ”
"One of the ...... generations of management over the years"
Zhao Zheng felt more and more that the ancients were far from being as simple as he thought, and when he thought of confronting a state secret organization that had existed in another world for decades, he couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart. After thinking for a moment in his heart, Zhao Zheng immediately asked, "Have you ever known about the 'underworld'?" ”
Shen Lang said: "I don't know ......"
If so...... Hiss...... Lang'er, do you know where this 'underworld' is? Zhao Zheng asked.
"Master, you ...... Are you going to the underworld? Shen Lang said with a look of surprise when he heard this.
Zhao Zheng nodded slightly and said: "The big camp in the south of the city must know it, if Zhang Mancang goes out of the city and returns to the big camp, Zhuang will definitely not follow closely." The teacher concluded that the old boy must have gone somewhere else, and Zhuang followed because he was curious! ”
Zhao Zheng and Zhuang only knew about it for two or three months, and the reason why they had such a judgment was completely out of Zhuang's consistent style. Shen Lang looked puzzled when he heard this: "You mean that senior brother followed Zhang Mancang to the 'underworld'!" ”
"No...... I don't know ......," Shen Lang shook his head and said.
"It doesn't matter if you get it or not, it's just a guess! If you can come back safely, it is the best, if not...... This 'underworld' is naturally a clue! Oh yes! Do you know where the 'underworld' is now? ”
Shen Lang listened to Zhao Zheng asking him about the location of the 'underworld', and his old face couldn't help but flush with a touch of embarrassment, and he seemed to be a little reluctant to tell Zhao Zheng. Seeing this, Zhao Zheng was puzzled: "What, isn't it convenient to tell the teacher?" ”
"No...... No...... Not ......"
Shen Lang shook his head again and again and said in denial: "It's not that the disciples didn't tell the master, it's just that this 'underworld' is like a ghost and fluctuating, I'm afraid that at this time they are no longer in the place of our control!" ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Zheng couldn't help but feel a touch of surprise on his handsome little face when he heard this, and at this time he suddenly remembered the "T Group" in his previous life.
"Hehe, it's okay, Lang'er just say it!" Zhao Zheng smiled indifferently.
Shen Lang saw that Zhao Zheng insisted, so he had no choice but to say: "Last month, the apprentice took his disciples to survey and map outside the city, and stumbled upon the traces of the activities of the 'underworld' fifty miles north of the city!" Eight times out of ten, they were trained here! After some investigation, it was discovered that they were stationed on an extremely hidden 'island'! ”
"Shhh...... Island? ”
Zhao Zheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, because in his cognition, there were any decent islands in the Handan area throughout the ages. Sun Sheng on the side saw that Zhao Zheng was full of confusion, and immediately interjected: "It is said that the 'isolated island' is just a platform surrounded by ravines on all sides!" ”
Zhao Zheng suddenly realized when he heard Sun Sheng say this: "It turned out to be such a 'lonely island', if it is a terrain point of view, it can be regarded as an excellent place, but where is this 'isolated island'?" ”
Shen Lang thought for a moment when he heard this, and replied: "I don't know, I only know that there are three mountains here that are connected from east to west, and there is no mountain east of the three mountains until Mount Tai!" And that 'isolated island' is located in the south of Sanshan Mountain! ”
Although Shen Lang said that he was a little cloudy, he was still guessed by Zhao Zheng.
"Huh...... It turned out to be there! Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes and muttered.
As the saying goes, "no book is written without coincidence", the place Shen Lang said happened to be the place where Zhao Zheng was in his hometown in his previous life. Despite the vicissitudes of life, after two thousand years, Zhao Zheng can still identify the place that Shen Lang said is his hometown.
"Shhh...... According to what Shen Lang said, it is really very hidden, and it is very suitable as a secret base......" Zhao Zheng tilted his head and pondered.
Shen Lang saw that Zhao Zheng's eyes were rolling but he tilted his head silently, so he thought that he was thinking about how to go to the 'underworld'. Shen Lang didn't doubt Zhao Zheng's ability, but he was worried that the 'Underworld' was no longer here, so he immediately said softly: "Master, the whereabouts of the 'Underworld' are uncertain, I'm afraid that it is no longer on the 'isolated island'!" I'll wait patiently, maybe we're thinking too much? ”
Zhao Zheng nodded slightly when he heard this, he knew in his heart that no matter whether the 'underworld' was there or not, this trip to his hometown was settled.
"Lang'er, let's wait a little longer, if there is no news, then we have to go to that 'isolated island'!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng's dark and shiny eyes flashed with an imperceptible hint of excitement......
