Chapter 122: Goodbye Xue Lao [I]

Zhang Mancang was standing on the city wall at this time, and when he thought of what Fan Cheng had just said, he was very upset in his heart, and at this time he suddenly felt that the little doll that looked harmless to humans and animals under the city had unknowingly become a hedgehog that he couldn't eat.

Just when Zhang Fan and the others were frowning and thinking, a team of soldiers walked towards the two of them carrying the corpses in pairs, led by the pawn commander Li Xi.

"General Zhang......" Li Xian bowed and bowed.

Zhang Mancang followed the prestige, and when he saw Li Xian leading people to carry the dead body, he immediately pointed to the corpses of the soldiers and civilians who died in battle beside him and asked, "You also carried it up?" ”

"It's ......," replied Li.

Zhang Mancang was puzzled: "Why is this? ”

Li Xian glanced at the dead bodies that were neatly arranged, and then replied: "General, after the riot, a large number of people in the city came to identify the corpses, and the subordinates were afraid of another incident, so they dismissed the people, and then ordered someone to carry my dead heroes to the city for investigation." ”

"That's great!" Hearing this, Zhang Mancang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "What about the corpse of the thief?" ”

Li Xi replied: "It has been concentrated and buried twenty miles west of the city, and it should still be on the road at this time!" ”

"Only twenty miles? No, no, farther! Don't let these thieves pollute my Great Zhao Capital, at least forty miles! Fan Cheng shook his head and interjected.

From the battle armor, Li Xi naturally knew that Fan Cheng was also a veteran general, but because he didn't know him and had no affiliation, Li Xi had to pretend not to hear it. Fan Cheng saw that Li Shi didn't buy his account, and his old face suddenly couldn't let go, and he was about to attack Li Shi, Zhang Mancang said: "What Senior General Fan said is very true, send someone to do it!" ”

"Hey!"

Li Shi answered, and then whispered to a soldier behind him, and the soldier put down the body and ran down the city.

Li Xi brought nearly twenty dead soldiers this time, looking at the very young faces, Fan Cheng's heart was like a knife, "Brother...... This...... These are the hopes of our Great Zhao Kingdom! That's it...... It's just gone? Alas......" Fan Cheng thumped his chest and paused.

Compared with Fan Cheng, Zhang Mancang, who has experience in commanding large armies, is naturally not surprised. He glanced at it very sneeringly, and then said to Li Xian: "Follow the general to the crack in the corner tower to take a look." With that, he strode eastward along the road, and Fan Cheng and Li Xi hurriedly followed.

At this time, the traces of fighting were everywhere on the city wall, and some of the battlements that had been repaired were once again shattered due to the blow. Although the dead bodies had been cleaned, the corridors were soaked in blood, and from time to time they could step on some human organs that were so covered in mud that they could no longer be distinguished. Zhang Mancang walked so indifferently, as if he was using his own feet to tell the world what it means to "succeed in one and dry bones".

The three of them walked unhurriedly on the road, and after nearly half an hour, they came to the crack in the corner tower.

Zhang Mancang leaned against the edge of the wall and looked down at the crack, and after a while, he got up and asked, "Did you see the person who crossed the wall and sneaked into the city this morning?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xi replied.

"How's it looking?"

"Hmm......" Li Xian frowned and thought for a moment and replied: "Handsome, this person is a dwarf like a five or six-year-old child, and his skills are extremely agile, and his subordinate team has not caught up with him!" ”

Zhang Mancang squinted his old eyes when he heard this, and pointed to Zhao Zheng, who was still carrying a small wooden barrel back and forth under the city, and asked, "Is it like that child?" ”

Hearing this, Li Xian looked at it with his hand, stared at it for a moment, and then shook his head and replied: "The subordinates were not present at the time, but listening to the description of the subordinates, it is somewhat similar to this child!" ”

"Call that team to the general!" Zhang Mancang ordered Li Shi.

Hearing this, Li Xian glanced at Zhang Mancang a little confused, and said in his heart whether this old boy's brain was stimulated, why couldn't he get along with this child. Although he thought so in his heart, he replied in his mouth: "General, that team was called by his subordinates to bury the corpses, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back in two days." ”

"Two more days......"

When Zhang Mancang heard this, he had to wait for two days, and his already ugly old face instantly became even more gloomy. Li Xi has followed Zhang Mancang for many years, and knows his temperament very well, and when he sees his gloomy face, he no longer speaks.

"If you wait two more days, won't the food be cold?" Zhang Mancang muttered.

Fan Cheng saw Zhang Mancang muttering to himself with a dark old face, and then said: "If it's him, he won't be able to escape." At this time, instead of struggling with that little doll here, let's go to Brother Xue's place, and maybe we can find some clues from there. ”

"Huh?"

Just as the so-called words woke up the person in the dream, Zhang Mancang couldn't help nodding his head again and again when he heard the words, and then said to Li Xian: "Prepare the horse!" ”

"Hey!"

Li Xian bowed down to receive the order, and then turned and ran away. When Zhang Fan and the others rode out of the city gate cave on their horses, the sun was already high above the southern sky.

At this time, Zhao Zheng was still working as a water transporter for Xia Wuqi, although the wooden barrel used by Zhao Zheng was very small, but he naturally felt "tired" after many round-trips. Instead of getting a hint of praise for his "enthusiastic" help, he was shouted at by the Zhao people present from time to time.

"I'll ...... If you have resentment, you can't sprinkle it on my head, what's wrong with a long face? Zhao Zheng pursed his lips and couldn't help muttering.

Xia Wuqi saw Zhao Zheng pouting, thinking that he wanted to be lazy and quit, so he sneered: "Hmph...... I'll just say, how can the children of the Qin people be as hard-working and capable as the descendants of my Zhao Kingdom? If you can't even do these hours now, what can you do in the future......"

Xia Wuqi broke his thoughts, which made Zhao Zheng upset, "Scolding, if you weren't for the fact that you would be my father-in-law in the future, Lao Tzu really wanted to sew up your mouth!" Bai has a pair of scholar's skins, and his mouth is really vicious! ”

Complaining is complaining, and the work is indeed not less done. Today, Xia Wuqi kicked Zhao Zheng out of the city, and inadvertently made Zhao Zheng realize that it would be difficult to get out of the city recently. Zhao Zheng knew in his heart that if he wanted to go out of the city in the future, he would need a good "helper", and this "helper" was Xia Wuqi.

In order to please Xia Wuqi and let him leave the matter of going out of the city to collect medicine these days to himself, Zhao Zheng spared no effort to keep busy. However, what he didn't expect was that instead of pleasing Xia Wuqi, his diligence and ability caused endless trouble to himself.

Zhao Zheng was still tirelessly carrying the keg back and forth; On the city wall, a group of soldiers were holding the canons and carefully comparing them; Outside the city of Handan, Zhang Fan and the others rode war horses and rushed towards the "underworld" station "one step and three slides", and only waited until the sun had set to the west to see the three mountains near the "isolated island". At this time, Zhao Zheng had already been driven out of the house by Xia Wuqi, while Zhao Ji was sitting next to Old Doctor Liu, looking up at the sky through the window and staying in a daze......
