Chapter 420: True Hero

Speaking of this, the old lady said emotionally: "Although Zhen'er is not my biological son, she is more filial than her own son. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's all me who dragged Zhen'er down, and he hasn't married in order to take care of me! ”

Zhang Baoer listened to the old lady's words, and his heart was shocked, he didn't expect Zhao Langzhen, who was indifferent on the outside, to have such a sincere side.

When he was sighing, Zhao Langzhen had already returned.

The old lady said to Zhao Langzhen: "Zhen'er, you accompany Zhang Gongzi to sit down, A-Niang will prepare a meal for you, and you will accompany Zhang Gongzi to drink two cups later." ”

Watching the old lady leave, Zhang Baoer stared at Zhao Langzhen with reverence: "Zhao Zhutou, I don't know yet, you have ever been on the battlefield?" ”

"That's all in the past!" Zhao Langzhen couldn't help laughing at himself: "Speaking of which, I'm still a deserter!" ”

"Deserters?" Zhang Bao'er was shocked: "Zhao Zhutou, can you tell me what's going on?" ”

"Have you heard of the Battle of the East Kip Rock Valley?" Zhao Langzhen asked.

Zhang Baoer shook her head.

"That was the first year of Emperor Zetian's divine skills, the Khitan rebellion, and the imperial court urgently ordered Xia Guanshangshu Wang Xiaojie and the right Yu Lin Wei general Xue Ne to lead an army of 180,000 to attack the Khitan."

"Zhao Zhutou was also in the army at that time?" Zhang Baoer asked.

"At that time, I was the captain of the Right Guards Zhengliupin Zhaowu, and I was responsible for finding out the news for the army."

"Captain Zhengliupin Zhaowu?" Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened: "How old were you then?" ”

"I was twenty-four that year!" Zhao Langzhen showed a proud smile on his face: "Back then, I was the youngest Liupin lieutenant in Datang. After the arrival of the Tang army, the Khitans retreated, and General Wang Xiaojie led the army to pursue all the way to the East Kip Stone Valley. Due to the dangerous terrain of the East Kip Stone Valley, in order to find out the enemy's situation, I was ordered to investigate the enemy's situation. My lieutenant, who is my mother's own son, is my sworn brother and has to go for me. Speaking of this, Zhao Langzhen showed a painful look on his face: "If only I insisted on not letting him go, I regretted it for eleven years for this matter!" ”

Zhang Baoer could understand Zhao Lang's true mood very well, and was deeply affected by their brotherhood of life and death, he asked: "What happened later?" ”

"After they entered the East Kip Stone Valley, there was no news for a long time, until a day later, the whole group of people and horses and horses No. 100 only came back, and he rushed out under the desperate cover of the other brothers, and he brought back the news from the valley. The Khitans set up a trap in the East Kip Stone Valley, just waiting for the Tang army to enter. This is the news that my brother exchanged his life for, I didn't dare to slack off, and quickly told General Wang Xiaojie the news! ”

"Zhao Zhutou, your brother has made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, what is their death worth?" Zhang Baoer said solemnly.

"No, it's not worth their death!" Zhao Langzhen said with a sad and indignant face: "In order to curry favor with Emperor Zetian, the eunuch of the supervising army at that time thought that our news was wrong, and insisted on asking General Wang to enter the East Kip Stone Valley to continue the pursuit. General Wang had no choice but to go forward. Due to the dangerous road, General Wang fought forward with elite troops, and the rear army followed up and deployed the whole team in the valley. At this moment, the Khitan ambush immediately returned to the army to attack, and the eunuch of the supervising army was in charge of the rear army, but he was afraid to flee first. In the end, General Wang fell off a cliff and died, and the Tang army generals died. ”

"This dead eunuch, what's his name?" Zhang Bao'er was furious when she heard this: "How could such a person let him go to supervise the army? ”

"His name is Tian Kewen, after General Wang died in battle, Tian Kewen not only did not have any responsibility, but still returned to the palace to be his eunuch!"

"Tian Kewen, Tian Kewen!" Zhang Bao'er muttered this person's name, quite a bit of gnashing of teeth: "I have made a note of this person, don't let me meet him one day in the future, otherwise...... Humph......"

Seeing Zhang Bao'er's angry appearance, Zhao Lang couldn't help but feel good about him.

"Zhao Zhutou, then how did you leave the army?" Zhang Baoer asked.

"After the war, I went up to repay my brother, but Tian Kewen was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he suppressed the matter. My brother died, the Tang Dynasty was defeated, and in frustration, I resigned from the military and came to Qucheng! ”

"Zhao Zhutou is from Qucheng?"

Zhao Zhutou shook his head and said: "My deceased brother is from Qucheng, and we had an agreement that if one of them dies in battle, then the other person will be responsible for taking care of his parents. My parents died young, and it is my duty to take care of his aunt. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Baoer stood up and respectfully bowed to Zhao Langzhen: "Zhao Zhutou, you are a real man and a real hero, please accept my worship!" ”

Zhao Langzhen hurriedly got up and said, "Zhang Gongzi, you must not be like this, I can't afford it!" ”

The two sat down again, and Zhao Langzhen waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about me, Zhang Gongzi, why did you come to me today?" ”

"It's urgent!" Zhang Bao'er remembered his intention, and he asked solemnly: "Zhao Zhutou, do you know Qiao Jiwei?" ”

"Of course I know, he is a habitual thief in Qucheng County!" Zhao Langzhen sighed with emotion: "Don't say it, this guy really has some skills, in order to catch him, we didn't work hard!" ”

Qiao Jiwei was the shadowless thief that Zhang Baoer asked Ji Wen to interrogate last night, but Zhao Langzhen didn't know it.

"And have you heard of the Shadowless Thief?" Zhang Baoer asked again.

"Of course I've heard ......of it" Speaking of this, Zhao Langzhen seemed to realize something, and asked suspiciously: "Zhang Gongzi, don't you suspect that the shadowless thief is Qiao Jiwei?" ”

"It's not a suspicion, it's a fact, Qiao Jiwei is a shadowless thief!" Zhang Baoer was straightforward.

"How is this possible, he was obviously ......" Zhao Langzhen was surprised.

"You want to say that Qiao Jiwei is obviously locked up in prison, how can he become a shadowless thief and come out to commit crimes, right?" Zhang Baoer took Zhao Langzhen's words and said: "It is true that he is locked up in prison, but this does not prevent him from becoming a shadowless thief." At night, he is let out to steal, which is why the Shadowless Thief is never discovered. ”

"Is this true?" Zhao Langzhen's eyes widened.

"Of course it's true, I arranged for someone to catch him last night, and I have already obtained his confession!"

"Who let him out, why didn't you report this matter to the county magistrate?" Zhao Langzhen said angrily.

"I can't report to the prefectural magistrate!" Zhang Bao'er had a complicated expression on her face.

"Why?"

"Because the person who let him out is Zheng Muye!" Zhang Baoer said word by word.

"Huh?" Rao is Zhao Lang has really seen the world, and he was also shocked by this sudden news, and he couldn't even say a word.
