Chapter 34: The Turtle in the Urn
"Thieves?"
Zhang Xianling raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people beside him, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Gao Xiancheng suddenly bowed in fear and said, "Zhang County Order!" It's not a subordinate official! Gao never talked to anyone under his door about the suppression of bandits, that is, he escorted the corpse and sent people to Lousang Village, in order to cooperate with the people of Wang County, he also had a lot to hide. ”
"Is that me?"
County Lieutenant Wang's face sank, "Wang's subordinates are all henchmen. Now they have money and women in hand, and they don't even have the opportunity to go to the Qinglou House, let alone get drunk to let people know! ”
"County Lieutenant Wang, don't frame you! I told my men to go down to the land of smoke and willows to enjoy them, and let them drink less. If you don't go early and come back early, if you are like this......"
"That's it!"
Zhang County ordered "Bang! He slammed the bowl on the table and shouted, "Come in!" Said carefully. ”
The middle-aged official opened the door and came in, bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Qiqi County Order, the two should be more than twenty years old, one is dignified, holding a spear in his hand, with a local accent, and the other has a long beard and a red face, with a strange appearance, holding a long-handled knife, he has never spoken, and he doesn't know where he is." Other...... The county order forgives the crime, and a certain family just heard about the bandits, and they were terrified, so they came directly to report it, and did not inquire too much. ”
"Longbeard and red face?"
Wang County Lieutenant was stunned, as if he remembered something, and said: "I have heard my subordinates come back from their duties and talk about such a person, who used to sell beans in the market before, and he looks like a tiger's back, and he is quite heroic. I also heard that there was a dispute with a butcher yesterday, and he moved the stone mill weighing four or five hundred catties away, and then beat away the thugs invited by the butcher, and he is a master. ”
"Butcher?"
Zhang Xianling frowned a little sensitively and said, "...... Isn't it Zhang Fei? ”
"I've heard of this person, too."
Gao Xiancheng muttered: "It's just that this matter is only a rough one, and I don't know if it's Zhang Fei." I heard that the two were stopped by another person, and they both left the city after that. ”
"Whether it is or not, it is not a good thing to appear at this time. Why don't you ......"
County Lieutenant Wang pulled out the saber on his waist slightly, and a cold light appeared.
Zhang Xianling thought for a while, looked at the officials, and beckoned: "You go down, lead them to the back hall, find a few maids to serve them with you, and say that I have something important to do and will see them later." By the way, call some people to take care of them secretly, bring crossbows and arrows, don't let them run away, and don't knock on bamboo poles to fight the autumn wind. ”
"No!"
Seeing the official leaving, County Lieutenant Wang was puzzled: "What does this mean?" ”
Zhang Xianling took a sip of tea, his eyes flickered and said: "These two people don't know where they know about this, but with the courage to come over, they know that there is no fear, just in case, it is better to treat each other politely." It's just too coincidental, that is, I really take refuge, and I have to drag it out at this time, and then slowly gather people's hearts in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Xianling suddenly drank the tea, spit out a few sips of tea foam, and said in a deep voice: "You guys go and prepare now." I'll wait here until you're done and someone will report back, and I'll go see them again. At that time, whether it is friend or foe, it will be determined. ”
"Zhang County Ling Gao See! Xia Guan admires! ”
Gao Xiancheng complimented him and left.
County Lieutenant Wang frowned and proposed, "County Commander Zhang, do you want me to send a few more people in case of ......?"
"Not necessarily."
Zhang Xian Ling put away the map, and said arrogantly: "These two people should be smart people." Since you dare to come here at this time, you must know how wary we are. What's more, how can a spear and a big sword be against an archer crossbow? There are such sophisticated weapons in the county office, and I am afraid that I will not be able to clean up two young people in their twenties? ”
He put back the map and rubbed his fingers, "You go, remember what I said, tell your henchmen to go to these shops, what about you, cooperate with Gao Xiancheng and copy the Geng family for me." Among them, the female streamer, remember not to divide them all, leave me a copy...... Ah, thinking about it this way, the people you sent to Lousang Village are almost here, right? How so? Really all killed? ”
"Hmm. The county order is not bad for these two people, didn't I send you two people from Dingxing County? ”
County Lieutenant Wang looked up at the missing moment on the side, and said with a flattering smile: "It's almost time to calculate, but it will take more than half an hour for the lieutenant chief to gather people, plus the time to come back, maybe a little later than us." ”
“…… It's a pity, it's rare to have some itching, and I can't save the lives of one or two women. Alas, forget it, you go first. I'll go to the attic and meet the two little women you mentioned. ”
"No! Hehe, retire! ”
……
Liu Zheng and Guan Yu were introduced into the hall, and after waiting for a long time, seeing that the sky was completely dark, Liu Zheng finally couldn't hold his breath, and asked the door again: "Official, can you go and notify me again, so that I can wait to know when the county order will meet." ”
"Wait, two strong men. The county order still has important matters, and we will meet after dealing with it. ”
The middle-aged official stood at the door, clenched his fists and said with a wry smile: "We are also doing things, and it is inconvenient to ask more about some things, so please ask the two Haihan." ”
"It's curfew in a few moments, I don't have a place to live yet, since the county order has something, we'll come back tomorrow to bother."
Liu Zheng couldn't hold it back, waved his hand at Guan Yu, and picked up his gun and prepared to go out.
"Don't go, two strong men! But don't go! ”
The middle-aged official hurriedly came in to stop him, and reassured: "The county commander was overjoyed when he heard that someone was coming to vote, and he didn't want to slack off, but there was really something wrong, and he couldn't get out." ”
"What's the matter, you can't even leave for half a moment?"
Guan Yu asked, and then Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
As far as he could see, there were many figures in the corridor outside the door, and there was a cold light flashing, and it was an ambush at a glance.
"The strong man is joking, right? How can a certain family know about the important matters of the county order? ”
The middle-aged official smiled.
Liu Zheng was about to speak, but Guan Yu grabbed him, "Big brother, wait a little longer." ”
Guan Yu used some strength in his hand, Liu Zheng understood, turned around and sat back, saw the official hugging his fists and thanking him, waited at the door again, and asked, "Yun Chang, what's the matter?" ”
Guan Yu glanced at the silent maid behind him with her head down, leaned over and whispered, "There are ambushes outside the door." I'm afraid that your previous words made the county commander suspicious. If it's a sword, it's okay to say, if it's an archer with a crossbow......"
Liu Zheng's heart froze, he pretended to look at the moonlight, and said impatiently: "It's been more than half an hour." ”
He turned his head, his brows suddenly furrowed, he didn't look very carefully at a glance just now, but he still saw a few figures, and he knew that he was surrounded by people, and Liu Zheng scolded secretly in his heart.
What a pig brain, he would come up with such a self-defeating thing!
Originally, he was a little complacent and successfully infiltrated the county government with one sentence, but now it is good, but he is clever and draws snakes, which must have made the county commander suspicious, so he dragged them here and became a turtle in the urn.
The problem is that Liu Zheng is now roughly sure that something will happen to the Geng family after the curfew, at this time, how can he suppress the anxiety in his heart.
"Big brother...... Is there a way? ”
Guan Yu was also a little urgent, "I'm afraid I won't be able to rush out at this time." Didn't you have a ...... before Scary secret method? ”
"It's okay if you're not there. If you use it now, it will hurt you. ”
Liu Zheng said with annoyance, he had known that he would come alone. Now if you use the invisibility charm, it's good to be able to scare people, but if you can't scare or scare people, Guan Yu will be killed directly.
Guan Yu thought for a while, and said, "Big brother, you don't have to worry about me, as long as you are sure to go over to see the county order, I can hold them back." ”
"No, it's a big deal. If things get big and I don't succeed, we'll have to run for our lives. ”
Liu Zheng hesitated, "Especially my father and mother, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape the disaster." ”
"But if we don't do it, we will be exposed sooner or later!"
Guan Yu took Liu Zheng's arm and shook it tightly, "Big brother! We're already stuck in it. It's too late to wait any longer! You also told the third brother before that there will be a lot of times when you are scared in the future, is it possible to live like this forever? When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! Eldest brother! ”
"But if it's an archer's crossbow, wouldn't you ......"
"Do you believe in Guan? Big brother, when you swore to me that day, you just took a fancy to my skills! Why don't you believe me now? ”
Guan Yu said righteously: "Moreover, the eldest brother still doesn't understand!" In the past, I killed people for morality, and I only escaped if I could, but if I couldn't, I was generous to righteousness. Guan is dead, as long as the eldest brother succeeds, Guan will die without resentment, and die without regrets! ”
"You make me think again, let me think again!"
Liu Zheng's heart was extremely chaotic.
"Big brother!"
Guan Yu was a little hateful and said: "The lives of the women and children of the Geng family, as well as the lives of other people in Zhuo County in the future, can't help the kindness of your women!" Now we have no way back, and we should have the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat! In the future, you are the one who will lead us to make great achievements, if you are not decided...... Others are following you, how can you be convinced? Big Brother ......"
"What are the two strong men talking about?"
The middle-aged official outside the door had been observing the two people in the room, and saw that Guan Yu seemed to be a little emotional, and smiled tentatively.
"Oh, my second brother is just a little afraid of violating the curfew of the county order, so I'll persuade him again."
Liu Zhenggan replied with a smile, secretly took the hand of the switch feather, and said, "You wait for me for a while." ”
Guan Yu's face was ugly, he fell silent, clenched his fists, and was extremely disappointed in his heart.
Liu Zheng closed his eyes and recalled the scenes that had happened in the past two days.
He attacked Liu Bei at night, because his heart swayed and it didn't work out after all.
After that, he set up a trap for Liu Bei to find Lu Zhi, and then swore to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, made a bet with his father Liu Shi, and began to show his ambitions.
Then this morning, when he learned that Li was in distress, he shot two people, rescued Jian Yong, and witnessed the corpse of his former colleague in the wild, stabbed one person with one shot, and met Li Cheng, confirming that the two county orders were obstructed.
After that, he found out the identities of Wen Renchang and promised Jian Yong to resolve the matter.
Then he infiltrated the secret passage, killed He Weng in a hurry, and went here to prepare to control the county order......
In just two days, from the time he decided to replace Liu Bei, he truly saw the ancient barbaric and real hand-to-hand encounter, cruel and cold conspiracy.
The problem is that even if Liu Zheng relied on the system to become a master, his soul came from the peaceful era 1,800 years later.
In later generations, he didn't have any great skills, nor did he occupy a high position, and he stepped into the peak step by step.
As an ordinary person, now that he has four lives in his hands, and has also experienced the scene of dozens of corpses in the wild and miserable deaths, Liu Zheng can't help but be afraid in his heart, afraid of killing, and at the same time afraid of being killed.
But now he is in real danger.
Even Guan Yu, who is deeply affectionate and righteous, has to follow him to suffer.
The most important thing is that he is to blame!
He obviously wants to make a contribution, but at this critical moment, he is afraid that Guan Yu will have an accident, that his father and mother will be killed, that he will not control the county order, and everything will develop in an uncontrollable direction.
He used to keep saying that he had made meritorious deeds and worshiped the prime minister, but now he is huddled here, with the kindness of all kinds of women.
In the first eight days of the problem, he had confirmed that he couldn't go back, and he told himself at the time that since he couldn't go back, he would accept his fate and make a name for himself with the system.
At the moment, there is nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide, and there are still a group of people from Guan Yu Zhang Fei and Liu Shi Li behind him, so what qualifications does he have to hesitate?
He was ordinary in the past, but now he has the opportunity to meet Tong Yuan, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Lu Bu......
There is a chance to meet the world's leaders, and even have a chance to compete in the Central Plains......
With these difficulties in front of him, what qualifications does he have to stop?
Liu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.
The eyes burned.
Shines with the tip of the gun.
Shine with the candle flame.
