Chapter 162: Lore

In the rivers and lakes, there has always been a proverb of "born in the forest". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoJianghu people rarely have life and death enmities with the government, and there are many favors between the officers and soldiers. As long as you flee into the forest, the other party will not chase again, and the danger of chasing into it is also great, and no one wants to take risks, so when the people of the rivers and lakes are chased and killed, most of them can survive when they encounter the woods. But this time, the proverb didn't work.

The sound of shouts of killing, the clashing of weapons, and the whizzing of arrows through the air filled the forest. Although most of the arrows were ineffective due to the shade of the trees, the few cold arrows that worked were still fatal to these fugitives.

From the very beginning, the officers and soldiers showed unprecedented action and resilience, and the troops bit Zeng Guang's footsteps and chased after them. The gangs from the local area and even the thugs of the big families in the city joined the ranks of the pursuers, like maggots attached to the bones chasing and beating Zeng Guang and the others.

The martial arts of these people may not be as good as Shang Zengguang and others, but the experience of the rivers and lakes is not inferior, and the speed of chasing is not too fast, but they can ensure that the target is not out of control. These people are like wolves chasing their prey, they don't threaten the lives of the pursued at first, but once the target shows fatigue, they will pounce on it, causing a lot of casualties to Zeng Guang and his party.

Originally, Zeng Guang and the others, with their martial arts, as long as they went out of the city, they would have a chance to escape. However, the calligraphers, carvers, Song Chongli and others rescued from the prison cell were all without martial arts, and many of them were still injured. Just running more than 20 miles, I was already tired and out of breath, and I couldn't pursue the speed, and I wanted to get rid of those pursuers. In turn, Zeng Guang and his entourage had to take care of their safety, which had a bad impact on the speed and efficiency of the entire team.

Sneak attacks, attacks, ambushes...... The battle has always accompanied this team, and it has never stopped since it left Changsha City. Rao is there are many martial arts masters in this line, and in this situation of continuous fighting without rest, his mental and physical strength have reached a critical point.

In a miserable scream, Jin Daolu's Miao knife slashed the enemy to the ground, but he also caught the opponent's counterattack before he died, and his shoulder was blood-red. Rao is always brave, but he can't support it, he inserts the knife into the ground, his hand grasps the handle of the knife and gasps violently, looking around, but he sees that several people in his companions have fallen in a pool of blood. As for their opponents, they had been hiding in the woods to prepare for an ambush, but at this time they had all been wiped out, and a gang that was quite famous in Changsha City was removed.

A big man spat and scolded: "The Black Tiger Gang does a lot of business with us on weekdays, but I didn't expect it to sneak attack now, it's really unrecognizable." ”

Zeng Guang was injured twice in order to cover his subordinates in the battle, and he didn't have time to bandage it in an emergency, and half of his body was covered in blood, which was very scary. He shook his head and said:

"It's just because they have a friendship on weekdays that now they want to kill them. The same is true of those big families in the city, they are iron-hearted and we have turned their faces, and this time they helped the government deal with us, which is actually to kill people and kill people, so as not to give us an account of their trade with Xiangxi to the government. The government still wants us to confess, and those people simply put a dead hand. ”

Liang Chongli and the others had already brought weapons in their hands, and even those who didn't know martial arts were forced to join the war group at this time in order to protect themselves. In Fang Cai's round of fighting, Zeng Guang's side died the most were these workers who didn't know martial arts. Liang Chongli was not injured because he was protected, but he couldn't walk neatly. He came to Zeng Guang and said:

"Zeng Daxia, we haven't met before, and I haven't been with you for a long time. You can personally come to save the old decay, and the old decay has already seen your affection very much. This incident, in the final analysis, is that we are in a hurry to take revenge, and the trouble caused by the talents of the Zhang family is that we have caused a big deal. We were wrong once, we can't be wrong a second time, and the big picture matters. With our waste, you can't run away. Zeng Daxia's martial arts are strong, as long as he gets rid of us, he will definitely be able to escape, and if we stay in the palace, how long can we drag on. As long as you lay down a good world in the future, we will not let anyone's daughter be harmed by those little princes and have nowhere to redress their grievances, and let the common people have land and clothes, we can turn a blind eye. ”

Gao Xiuqing also said: "That's right, Zeng Daxia, go quickly, don't drag us down anymore." ”

Zeng Guang shook his head and said, "What is this called?" Everyone is a brother, and it's ridiculous to talk about the word drag. Zeng someone is nothing more than a martial artist, originally only knew how to rely on his kung fu to break into the rivers and lakes, and when he saw something unpleasant, he shot over, and he couldn't tell if he was right or wrong. It wasn't until I listened to the lectures of several masters in Tianwo that I knew what the truth in the world was like. In this world, it is not necessary to have an emperor to be powerful and blessed on our heads, and the common people are not born to be cattle and horses. This world is not fair, and I will come back with fairness. I fought the world not to be the emperor myself, but to let everyone in the world have food to eat, and everyone has a field to plant, and no one above can bully us. If I encounter danger, I will leave you and escape, what is the difference between me and those lackeys of the court? One day as a brother, a life as a brother, as long as Zeng has a breath, he will not leave a brother! ”

As he spoke, he waved his double knives and flew a few arrows, and there was a miserable scream in his ears, but a craftsman had no means for him, and was shot into the lower abdomen by the arrow, and Shen Yin, who was lying on the ground in pain. Zeng Guang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious, and his two knives slashed several times in the air.

"Fan Jin, Fan retreat! As long as I have three inches of energy, I won't give up with you! The people of the local yamen in Huguang do not have this means, they must be Fan Jin...... He must have done all this, and we fell for his scheme! The land is all over the land, and the plan to choose the Son of Heaven is bad in his hands, even if I become a ghost, I will not let him go! Brethren, remember that whoever goes out alive will take vengeance on him! ”

Outside the forest, the battle flags were densely packed, and the coalition of officers and soldiers and the catchers had completed the encirclement of the forest. The general who served as the commander stood next to a man dressed as a merchant, and the head of his family was also a well-known Confucian in Huguang and a well-known rich man in Changsha City. He came to bring some food and drink to the army on behalf of his family, and also brought a group of martial arts masters who can kill and fight. Taking the opportunity of delivery, he was beside the commander and whispered:

"Jane's family is finished. Jian Shoumei Orange Island stabbed Zhang Sixiu and took it down for the guards around him, confirming his charge of colluding with Zeng Guang. This time it was a catastrophe, and the meaning of the staff was to take this opportunity to take down the tens of thousands of acres of good land of the Jian family. There is still chaos in the city, many people have suffered from this accident, and now the peace has not been restored, and we can't spare the energy to take care of this, for us, this is a godsend. Take advantage of the fact that others don't react, eat as much as you can first, and even if you spit out some in the future, you will earn it. ”

The officer nodded, but was concerned about something else. "Jian Shoumei's lady is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is full of kung fu, she is a rare rouge horse, where is the person?"

"I heard that I took the child to the countryside, and the palace and Jinyiwei sent people to go, and the little prince was worried about her for not a day or two, so don't count on it. It is still the reality of eating the meritorious service of these people at the moment, and it will be even more difficult to use this military exploit to eat that field. Moreover, this time it is a major case of rebellion, and if this military merit is won, the general's future will not be difficult to ......."

"Those people are not weak, they are not so easy to deal with. If it weren't for the fact that they had brought a bunch of burdens, I wouldn't have been sure to leave them all behind. Now they are trapped beasts, and the people at this time are the most ruthless, and they are afraid that the hard attack will cause heavy casualties. ”

The businessman who looked like a shopkeeper smiled coldly, "It's nothing more than human life, and what is it." A large sum of money was prepared outside the staff, which was used to cut off these dead men. Zeng Guang and they know too much, let them fall into the hands of the government, the loss to the outside is too great, and they must make a decision at this time. ”

He looked into the distance again, "In addition, the outsider said that the person who made this plan was a ruthless character. If Zeng Guang falls into his hands, it is equivalent to putting a rope around our necks, and when we want to take it, we will take it, and in that case, we will not lose a little money or a human life. Let's do it! ”

The general nodded, waved the command flag and began to order a general attack, and soon after, a large number of officers and troops slaughtered into the forest and began the final decisive battle. One by one, the Cloud Piercing Cannons exploded in the air, and another, much larger army began to advance in the direction of the woods, mixed with a number of Jinyi guards in Flying Fish suits and the newly returned Zhang Tieji. Both in strength and rank, they are above the previous army, and the purpose of this team is more simple and straightforward than their allies: to pick peaches.

"Those businessmen must have contact with Xiangxi, otherwise there are so many demon books, and there will be no rumors in the yamen. Now that Zeng Guang is finished, if we release the news again, they will definitely panic, and they don't want to have a handle in the hands of the government, so they will kill them. These people are extremely powerful in Changsha, and once they are launched, they are quite considerable, and Zeng Guang's people will fight with them, and they will die, and it will be easy for us to send someone over to finish it. After all, they are businessmen, not anti-thieves, and they dare not turn their faces directly with the government. What we have to worry about is whether these troops and Jinyi guards will also be infiltrated by merchants and disobey us, then this arrangement will be useless. In the final analysis, there is a shortage of manpower, and if there are people of your own lineage, it will not be so. ”

Fan Jin, who was dressed in women's clothes, talked eloquently in the cabin, looking very strange, obviously talking about business, but Zhang Sixiu and the others couldn't help but want to laugh.

Fan Jin, who has a wealth of experience in handicap chess, naturally knows how to make chess just right, so that people don't notice it. So Zhang thought that he really won Fan Jin by blind chess level, and he was extremely happy, and when Fan Jin changed into women's clothes, she was even more satisfied. Zhang Sixiu and the others came back, and they inevitably had to scold their sister, but she was already prepared and didn't take it seriously.

Liu Kanzhi thinks that it is more correct for her to stay, after all, Zhang Tieji's problem, if there is no person with enough status to suppress the scene, there is no way to obtain absolute control over his disposal. It is correct to have an important person on board to command.

Zhang Sixiu said how thrilling the stabbing and fighting at the head of Orange Island were, and how clever the two guards Liu Kanzhi arranged for him were, and how they subdued Jian Shoumei in three or two moves, but at this time, Zhang's mind was on blind chess, and he didn't care much about this aspect.

It wasn't until Fan Jin lost the chess and changed into women's clothes that the girl began to discuss the military situation, and at this time, the finishing actions against Zeng Guang had already begun.

Liu Kanzhi said: "Although the manpower cannot be regarded as a descendant, since several officers with troops have obtained the handwriting of Brother Hei Xiu, they should know the importance of advance and retreat, not to mention that there are still our generals in the team." If they dare to collude with big families to sell their formations, then the fate that awaits them will definitely not be good, these warriors have a bunch of problems, deducting food and salary, abusing soldiers, encroaching on military fields, etc., and doing too many bad things. If we want to do something, as long as we hand over the evidence to Master Du, they will not be as simple as dismissal and questioning, and they will go to prison. In order to protect themselves, they can only fight. ”

In a series of changes in the city, he also got the news, and in Fan Jin's attitude, from the beginning of the general friendship, to now he really wants to be a friend to accept. As Zhang said, he doesn't approve of losing to women, but he still agrees with talented and capable men and is willing to make friends. Chao Fan Jin arched his hand and said:

"Zeng Guang's gang of thieves is very skilled, if it weren't for Brother Fan's plan, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to catch them all. That day, the younger brother was not thoughtful, and he almost allowed this group of thieves to collude with Toast and cause a huge disaster. It was Brother Fan's foresight, and the younger brother admired it. ”

"What? Only the foresight of the retreating brother, the little sister is the woman's opinion? As soon as the girl saw Liu Kanzhi, she couldn't help but want to raise the bar. It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Sixiu said, "You still say?" Orange Island sent a girl to pretend to be you, if this thing is missing, do you know how big the turmoil is? Stay alive and don't be naughty. ”

He looked at Fan Jin again, "Brother Fan's strategy is clever, and he is worthy of having done military affairs in Guangdong, but if you want to talk about this first achievement, I think it is Brother Liu's." Without Brother Liu's planning and scheduling, we wouldn't have been able to win so easily. Let's just say that today in Orange Island, if it weren't for Brother Liu's general, then Jian Shoumei would not be easy to deal with. ”

"What the second son said is very true, if you want to talk about credit, Liu Gongzi and the second son are indistinguishable, and Xiaosheng can't mention it. Without a few faces, just the manpower from all over the world would not have come so much so quickly. However, with all due respect, when he went back to write the official document, it was better to give this part of the credit to the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang and the Yamen of the Inspectorate. ”

Why is that? The governor of Huguang is my uncle, and he will not compete with me. ”

The only outsider in the room was actually Fan Jin, so although Zhang was a woman, he dared to speak on such an occasion.

She shook her head and said, "Second brother, you are confused. If such a big case is sent to Jingli, my father must have a purpose. If you let him see it, a few of us will appear on official business, and we will also send troops to recruit soldiers from the surrounding counties. ”

"This ......"

Zhang Sixiu also came to his senses and arched his hand towards Fan Jin, "It's me who is confused, thank you for reminding me." ”

"Don't dare to be. Xiaosheng is also a little experience when doing military affairs, the sedan chair carries people, and everyone helps each other, which is a great joy. Isn't it better to take credit than to share the credit, and make the credit bigger? Huguang's large and small yamen have all been credited with their hearts, and in addition to the music in front of Yuan Weng, they have their own private messages. There is a lot of praise for a few people, and it's the same. ”

Zhang Sixiu said: "That's what I said, but I have to tell them not to write down my transfer of troops, otherwise they will suffer." ”

A few people laughed loudly, the scene was very relaxed, and the smoke and killing of the beacon fire in the distance had no effect on them. The unyielding cry, the curse of despair, only turned into a breeze, blowing the flag on the ship, the flag only moved, and then returned to normal, everything was the same.

At noon, it was the moment when the Ming Dynasty killed people in the court, and Zeng Guang and the others were also surrounded by boundless blood and swords and guns, and embarked on the road of death.
