Chapter 33: The Favorite Thing

The red sun rose over the eastern horizon, and almost instantly, everything around it brightened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A rainstorm that comes and goes quickly can't change the dry weather, and the sky is still a deep blue sky. The water vapor on the ground was illuminated by the sun, and steam rose from the cracks and filled the plain town, transforming it into a multicolored color.

Hongze Lake is still not visible, and a large tidal flat stretches at the foot until it is endless in the distance, and the wind blows and the dust blows lightly.

This was the third day after the end of the battle, and Li Cheng's main force came so quickly that they had all entered Pingyuan Town.

The town was full of gray tents, and the sound of "Ding Dong" was everywhere, and it was Li Chengjun who was repairing the camp. More than 5,000 men and horses moved at the same time, and the deer, fences, and earthen ramparts stood up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Shen was locked up in the warehouse for two days and three nights, he ate well, slept enough, got up early in the morning and sat in it for an hour, and now he was escorted out by two guards to see Li Cheng, smelling the fresh air outside, and feeling energetic.

To be honest, it feels very bad for two hundred people to stay in one storeroom. It was stuffy and hot, and the smell of sweat and feces and urine was so strong that it couldn't be dissolved, and if you stayed any longer, everyone would be harmed by the plague. In any case, we have to set everyone free as soon as possible.

Ever since Li Cheng received the false decree I wrote, he has been avoiding him, and he is also weighing whether to be recruited by the imperial court. Today he asked someone to invite me over, and I thought that I had already made up my mind. The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill him, I have already stopped him with words, and Li Cheng will not embarrass me if I want to reason. Today, everything will come to an end. Wang Shen thought so.

As soon as I thought of meeting Li Cheng, one of the strongest powerhouses of this era, I didn't feel a little nervous.

Walking on the road, Wang Shen looked around and found that although there were many soldiers in Pingyuan Town, Li Chengbu's men and horses were not bad, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. In the era of cold weapons, the combat effectiveness of the army was mainly reflected in discipline. At this moment, Li Cheng is just a rogue, and it is quite remarkable that his troops can have such discipline.

The town of Plains is very small, just a two-hundred-meter street, and it only takes a few steps to the end. Next to it is a courtyard, and there are four chested armor soldiers standing at the door, and this is Li Cheng's Chinese army.

After entering the gate, it was empty and there were few people in sight, and everything seemed unusually quiet.

Bypassing the lobby and entering the courtyard, Wang Shen's heart tightened slightly at the thought of seeing Li Cheng soon.

The courtyard is very large, and there is a weapon rack with eighteen kinds of weapons such as lances, guns, spears, axes, and forks, and stone locks and barbells are placed on the ground.

After a rain, the weather suddenly cooled down, and it felt like autumn.

Li Cheng only wore a thin shirt, stood sweatily under a big tree, and took the towel handed by a soldier and kept wiping it. Obviously, he had just finished his energy.

The leaves have turned yellow and are falling in the wind.

After seeing Wang Shen, Li Cheng threw the towel to the guards and said with a smile: "Ambassador Wang is here, don't come in quickly." ”

"I've seen General Li, and the general called me over early in the morning, but I have already made up my mind." Wang Shen responded and walked over.

Li Cheng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "The ambassador is in a hurry, he can't wait for just one day?" Zhang Xianggong didn't invite an old and stubborn person to come over, but he called a rough martial artist like you to do this big thing, but it was incomprehensible. Seeing the embarrassment on Wang Shen's face, he continued to laugh and said: "I don't want to be sick with Huo Quai, who has carried Li Yu's 10,000 former army with two hundred crossbowmen for four days." I can't help but wonder if I have seen the wrong person. ”

I don't know if this laughter is a compliment or a mockery.

Wang Shen was annoyed in his heart, and then suddenly woke up: This Li Cheng is the psychological offensive at the negotiation table in later generations, wanting to take the lead and frustrate my sharpness, and bring rhythm with a strong aura. Hehe, fortunately, I met an experienced negotiator like me, otherwise I would have been eaten to death by him.

also smiled: "Zhang Xianggong has heard that General Li is a heroic person, and the smoke of Huaidi is everywhere, if he comes to be a roundabout master, I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the king." Even if you barely avoided the war and said something out of tune, with your temperament, you would have been out of the game a long time ago. Instead of twisting and turning with the king, it is better for me to talk about my heart. ”

Li Cheng's laughter stopped, his eyes contracted into two points, and he stabbed at Wang Shen.

Wang Shen felt the huge pressure, but he was not afraid, and looked back with a smile.

"Okay, Zhang Xianggong didn't send the wrong person." After a long time, Li Cheng nodded. Before he finished speaking, he hooked his feet, hooked up two ash poles, stretched out his hand to grab one, and then knocked the other one to Wang Shen with a "snap", and shouted: "Catch!" ”

Wang Shen subconsciously caught the ash pole, and before he could come back to his senses, Li Chengcheng "whew" and hit with a stick.

The long stick stopped on Wang Shen's scalp, and the strong wind blew his face painfully: "Do it, take my three moves and then talk." ”

As soon as the words fell, the ash pole retracted, shook in front of it, and shook into a big flower, which was the move of the big gun.

Then, six or seven phantoms poked at Wang Shen at the same time.

"Servant, servant" There was a continuous light sound, and Wang Shen didn't know how many shots he had been shot in the lightning, which was really unbearable.

This is the real strength of a super-first-class master, not to mention working with him, even the moves of others can't be seen clearly. Besides, Wang Shen didn't know martial arts at all.

"The first move." As Li Cheng spoke, the head of the gun was retracted again, put it on the barrel of Wang Shen's gun, slid downward, and hit his right hand.

It hurt so much that tears were about to come out, and I felt that my right hand had no feeling.

Wang Shen hurriedly let go of his right hand and jumped backwards.

Li Cheng took a step forward, stabbed forward with a long pole, and poked Wang Shen in the abdomen.

The pain of turning over the river and the sea, I was about to vomit out of breakfast.

"This is the second move, if you fight to the death, you have already died ten times." Li Cheng shouted, like a thunderbolt. He shook the ash pole again. In front of him were three or four guns of all sizes, virtual and real, dazzling: "Wang Daosi, it's not good for you to lead the troops." In the field of battle, spears and halberds, heavy armor battle formations, personal bravery is of little use. But you are the first to enter the battle, and you can't hide behind it for the rest of your life. War can happen under any circumstances, and you can't guarantee that you'll have a bunch of heavily armored tigers standing by your side every time. For example, in the battle the day before yesterday, didn't it kill you? If I had willed, you would have become dead. Wang Shen, it's a bit interesting for you to block my knife that day, do you remember? Come on, pick me up! ”

As soon as the spear is collected, it condenses into a line and stabs directly.

……

How not to remember?

Jaundice-colored sky, land full of human blood.

Iron cavalry like a hurricane.

Waves of mud rolled up by horses' hooves.

Unyielding fighting spirit.

The sword that used up all the spirit.

……

"Kill!" Wang Shen leaned on one side, and a stick was pointed forward, slashing away like a sword.

A line of lances disappeared, and two ash poles stood together, fixed in the air.

The monstrous power like a storm disappeared, followed by Li Cheng's appreciative eyes: "Yes, there is spirituality." Martial arts, or the ability to kill, are actually nothing remarkable. It's nothing more than practicing the move a thousand times and ten thousand times until it becomes your instinct. Every battle, without even thinking about it, the body will tell you what to do next? A certain is not boasting, the gun and stick are invincible all over Hebei, you can get me three percent of the means. Stay, my back army is lacking a commander. ”

Sweat poured out like a pulp, dripping down the tip of the nose. These three moves just now are long, but in fact, they are just a moment, but Wang Shen felt that all his strength was about to run out, and his feet couldn't help twitching.

However, in front of such a powerful character, he can't lose. He has seen too many such characters in shopping malls and officialdom in later generations. If you lose your heart, not only will you lose your bottoms, but you will also be looked down upon. If you can't treat it as an equal opponent, how can you negotiate?

He took a breath, tried his best to calm himself, and suddenly smiled: "Is the Heavenly King trying to teach me martial arts and recruit me?" Thanks to the blue eyes, Wang Shen is grateful. However, I am now obeying orders in the public curtain of Zhang Xiang, if the king of heaven can really afford to look down on him. When you are recruited, you can ask for someone from the prime minister. Wang Shen has always had the ambition of throwing his pen into Rong and killing the enemy to serve the country, and if he can join the army under the command of the Heavenly King, he can also show his ambitions. ”

Just kidding, that's right, you Li Cheng has a strong personality, otherwise you would not be able to become the Optimus Pillar of Pseudo-Qi in the future. However, you will be a traitor in the future, and I can't afford to lose this person.

Besides, I, Wang Shen, am a modern person, but I don't have the feelings of the ancients, I just want to quickly take An Niang's sister and brother and two hundred heavy battalions out of this big battlefield and flee to Jiangnan.

Hearing Wang Shen's words that were neither humble nor arrogant, the appreciation in Li Cheng's eyes was even stronger, and there was a trace of regret: "That's it! ”

With that, he threw the ash pole aside.

Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "General Li, I don't know what you think about Zhao'an?" ”

"Okay, let's get down to business." Li Cheng put his butt on the chair, pointed to the side again, and motioned for Wang Shen to sit down and speak.

He stretched out his hand and lazily grabbed his back, moving non-stop: "A certain person who is used to being at ease, he is really recruited and controlled by Uncle Liu Ping, I am afraid that he can't stand that constraint." Also, it's not that I haven't been recruited, but what the result is, the official family gave me a name, but I didn't allocate a penny of military salary. Hehe, Wang Daosi, do you think it's interesting for me to find such a mother-in-law for myself? ”

Li Cheng has two faces, and when he fights in battle, he is as agile as a tiger, like a sharp blade that comes out of its sheath, but on weekdays, he looks lazy and stingy.

Wang Shen sorted out his thoughts and was about to speak, but Li Cheng waved his hand: "I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than a seizure of Sizhou, which directly threatens Huaixi Huaibei in the north and Yangzhou in the south. If you are recruited, you can live with peace of mind. However, a certain was not afraid, and he was not interested in being recruited. I have been thinking about this for a day and a night, and I feel that it is unnecessary. ”

"Well, now that the King of Heaven has made up his mind. I can only go back to Zhang Xianggong to resume my life, and I ask the general to release my subordinates and leave for the official's house immediately. Wang Shen stood up, arched his hand, and was about to leave.

Li Cheng is not recruited, he doesn't care! Anyway, as long as everyone's lives can be saved, this matter is over, everyone is alive, and it is considered complete. Fortunately, my false decree finally deceived Li Cheng.

"Wait."

Wang Shen: "What else does the King of Heaven have to say?" ”

"Ambassador Wang is a rare talent, and he will be very useful in the future, and he will definitely stand out in the future. Maybe in a few years, the Great Song Dynasty will rise a shining star. Li Cheng was full of praise, and his eyes were terrifying.

Wang Shen's heart sank, and he felt that it was very bad: "I am just a mustard eater in the public curtain of Zhang Xiang, and I dare not have other thoughts because of the troubled times." ”

Li Cheng suddenly burst out laughing: "It seems that you still look down on me, a rogue!" Do you know what I love most in my life? ”

Wang Shen: "I don't know. ”

Li Cheng: "A certain hero who loves Tiger Ben warriors and knows soldiers the most, and you are, and a certain will not let you go." I'm short of people, and even if it's coercion and temptation, I have to keep you. If you do not agree, the two hundred captives shall kill ten in a day, first the men, then the sergeants, then the officers, and finally your wife and children, until you agree. ”
