Chapter Ninety-Nine: An Unexpected Encounter
"It is not easy for a woman from the Zhang family to support the Zhen family."
The sky cleared, the scorching sun evaporated the stagnant water on the ground, and coming out of the Zhen family's courtyard, Hua Xiong looked back at the outline of the Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain at the end of his vision. The figure walking next to him looked up at the sun, "A woman can support the Zhen family for so many years without being eaten by others, do you think it's luck?" ”
The horse's hooves swayed, and he withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at the courtyard in the mountains.
How capable is the woman in charge of the Zhen family, Gongsun Zhi probably knows a little in his heart, how can such a world be easy, the reason why he thought of finding the Zhen family to provide logistics for him to go north in the future is also temporary, after all, no matter how powerful a woman is, her ambition will not be too big after all, and the threat to herself will be relatively reduced.
"Leader, are we going to kill Zhang Shiping next?" Hua Xiong naturally understood how powerful that woman was, and he didn't dwell too much on this matter.
Gongsun Zhi turned his gaze back and glanced at the other party, "Being a man is trustworthy, he must kill him if he says he wants to kill him, and then which of these people is clean?" However, this Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang are the largest horse dealers in the Northland, and they should have a horse farm at home, so they just brought the horses together. ”
"Then we have more money to kill back." Excitement floated on Beard's face, and Hua Xiong slashed in the air and shouted, "...... Liu Yu...... Kirby can have these two heads, I set it first. ”
On the winding official road, many figures are walking quietly, and occasionally there will be a sound of talking in the room, here, hearing Hua Xiong's words, Gongsun Zhi frowned, and then closed his eyes, as if remembering the more than ten old people who died that day, and said in a cold voice: "Killing Kirby can be easier than Liu Yu, he has no danger to defend, as long as he fights, he will have a great chance of killing this person, but Liu Yu, this old guy, is sitting in Youzhou, Jixian City is strong, and he wants to kill him......"
“…… Unless he can come out. His teeth gritted and his tone intensified.
Gongsun Zhi rode on horseback, looking at the horse team in front and behind the slow walk, the heavy and valuable utensils that had been seized had been carried away by the Black Mountain thieves yesterday night, and the team at this moment was all light horses, and soon they quickened their speed, walked through this official road, turned to the remote wilderness, crossed the hills, and bypassed the city, and in the afternoon they came to the township called Xinshi in Zhongshan.
Xinshi is not a barren township, there are horses from the north and local silk, most of the business travelers from the south to the north stop here to dump goods, buy local goods and set off again or go south, or return to the north, a large number of people come and go here to give birth to the lively, lively will be accompanied by some chaos, most of the rogues, robbers, and people with bad hearts will also come here to beg for life, that is, the fish and dragons are mixed, but there is no big chaos.
For the people of Xinshi, it was a lively and chaotic day as usual, but when the sun set, it changed. After the rain, the dirty water on the ground was splashed by the horses' hooves, and a group of knights came at some point, and the man who was splashed next to him glared at the opposite horse viciously.
The burly figure with knotted muscles looked down at him, and the man quickly turned his gaze away, and the posture of hundreds of riders on the not spacious street made him pale in fright, and he didn't dare to look more, so he hurriedly trotted into the nearby shop and hid.
The new market is not big, and the streets are suddenly crowded with hundreds of knights, and they are not dressed in the army, and the surrounding merchants, hawkers, and pedestrians hurriedly stand under the eaves on both sides and watch each other pass.
"Where did the thieves come from......
"He came to the new market...... I'm not afraid that the officers and soldiers of Wuji County will come to arrest people......"
“…… I heard that the Black Mountain thieves have been a bit powerful recently, could it be their ......?"
"Wait, the horse team in front of me turned...... It seems to be ...... ...... past the Zhang family's house"
In the crowd of dodging, there was a voice murmuring, and then boldly followed the horse team, and sure enough, they saw the hundreds of horsemen stopped in front of Zhang's mansion from a distance, and saw someone get off the horse, holding a rope over, and a common man whispered: "The Zhang family is going to be finished......
In front of the Zhang family's mansion, Gongsun Zhi waved his hand, several wolves rode fiercely and clamped the horse's belly, the war horse neighed and ran, the rope that bound it was suddenly tightened, and there was a loud bang, and the door of the mansion fell crookedly.
Over there, several guards were holding knives and guns from behind the collapsed door, and the moment the arrows swished, they nailed through, and blood splattered everywhere. Gongsun Zhi flicked the horse's head, and hundreds of horsemen around rode directly up the steps and rushed in, when the courtyard swarm that heard the sound rushed over, the war horse ran over from the crowd, Hua Xiong waved his knife and slashed all the way forward, and the maids and servants who were busy outside the house were shocked by the sudden fighting, and they hid everywhere in a panic.
In the main hall, Zhang Shiping, who was bloated, strode out with a big knife, followed by two young people, probably his son or something, and he shouted: "Where did I come from, I am Zhang Shiping ....... Zhongshan."
Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted, and the oncoming blade became bigger and bigger, and a voice exploded like thunder: "It's you who kills!" ”
The tiger's mouth knife slashed down——
……
Outside, the people heard the fight, watched from a distance, heard the news of dozens of errands with swords to squeeze through the crowd, in the field of vision, the huge courtyard in the heart-rending screams rose with the black smoke, a piece of war horses when the figure of the horse stood on the street again, the surging footsteps stopped a few feet away and did not dare to step forward.
A bloody head was thrown at their feet and rolled, and the figure on the back of the black war horse led by the leader swept over the group of officials: "Take it and bury it." ”
When these knights, who seemed to have come to seek revenge, left, the people who were watching didn't know who shouted: "Rob!" "Probably before the fire was big, he rushed into the Zhang family's house, wanting to get something valuable, and then more figures rushed in. The group of officials was in front of the barricade, and someone shouted: "Don't rob, don't rob, the fire is burning......
In the chaos, he was pushed and fell to the ground, and no one listened to him.
The reason why Zhang Shiping did not go to live in the nearby county town was because there was not much land around the city for him to use as a horse farm, and if he was forced, he would offend many people, but now everything he is doing is cheaper than others.
"More than a thousand horses...... If we stay up well, we will be able to kill it back next year......" Hua Xiong led people to kill the guards of the racecourse, exuding blood all over his body, but he sighed.
Gongsun stopped looking at the horses running in the guardrail, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Maybe it's faster......" After a pause, he ordered: "Let Cao Chun and them come over and gather, kill a weighty Zhang Shiping, the families in the north should join forces to persecute Yuan Shao, and our hunting this time is also quite rich, almost enough." ”
Just as he was giving the order, a galloping horse came over and brought back the news: "Chief, Leader Cao met Yuan Shao's people, but he was not discovered by the other party, and led the brothers to ambush first." ”
Gongsun Zhi frowned: "What banner is it playing?" ”
"High."
……
Meanwhile.
The sky was bright and dark, outside Wuji County, a general named Yan Liang came to the Zhen family courtyard with more than 1,000 light horses, and after hearing that the black mountain thieves had sacked this place, he turned north and chased after the other party.
"Speed up, how can one person get the credit-"
He shouted, turned his horse's head, and rushed to the north with his light horse, and continued to go.
