Chapter 9: Killing the Black Horse
Although the Chi Road near the Houfeng Pavilion has been abandoned, after all, it is clear with the main Chi Road, Zhang Xiang opened a small shop at the junction of the two roads, which is used to greet passers-by, and also to attract some popularity to the Houfeng Pavilion by the way.
It is now the autumn and winter season, Zhuo County is located in Youzhou, it is very cold, Zheng Ang's dog meat and Zhang's pork are very popular, Houfeng Pavilion also has a gambling house private hall, the private hall is a private hostel opened by individuals, can let people stay, so it also attracts a lot of pedestrians to live in Houfeng Pavilion.
Houfeng Pavilion gradually gained a trace of fame because of this, which is also thanks to Zheng Gang's credit, Zheng Gang is Zheng Ang's younger brother, maybe he has been sick in bed for many years, so if he gets a little better, his mouth can't stop, that is, because there are more and more pedestrians passing by Houfeng Pavilion.
Sometimes Zhang Xiang wonders if Zheng Gang is a human trafficker, and the passers-by who were deceived by him to Houfeng Pavilion account for the majority, and he can't say that he cheated, he can only say that he was attracted by his language, and there is also that the houses in Houfeng Pavilion are really good, and they are all genuine things.
It is precisely because of the fame of Houfeng Pavilion that it has attracted some dignitaries. One day, Zhang Xiang received a silk letter asking him to greet a convoy, which arrived at Houfeng Pavilion in the evening, and the owner of this convoy was Zhao Li.
Maybe Zhao Li's reputation is not obvious, but his brother is famous, that is, Zhao Zhong, who is the ten permanent servants, Zhao Zhong is a native of Anping, Hebei, and the Zhao family can be said to be a cancer in Hebei.
Although Zhang Xiang was also jealous of the ten permanent servants, he also had to serve him well, and invited Zhao Li to the pavilion, the pavilion of Houfeng Pavilion was decorated by Zhang Xiang at a great price, which was both luxurious and elegant.
Zhao Li was still very satisfied, and also rewarded Zhang Xiang with a piece of gold cake, which was not ungenerous, "Pavilion Chief, I heard that the dog meat of Houfeng Pavilion can be said to be well-known far and near, I want to see it." ”
Zhang Xiang was very humble, "Adults are natural, villains are going to prepare for you." After a while, Zhang Xiang personally served Zhao Li a pot of dog meat, and Zhao Li was full of oil!
Zhao Li may have eaten too much, so he walked around the pavilion to eliminate food, Zhang Xiang was naturally accompanied and served, Zhang Xiang was going to endure it and pass, but he never thought that Zhao Li would give Zhang Xiang a problem at this time.
Because Zhao Li saw Zhao Fei's mount kicking the clouds, although Zhao Li is not learned or skilled, he is also a horse lover, with his greedy and unbridled nature, how could he let go of such a famous horse?
Fortunately, Zhao Li didn't forget that he was out of the house, so he asked Zhang Xiang, "Pavilion Chief, whose horse is this?" ”
Zhang Xiang also saw Zhao Li's thoughts, and although he was unwilling, he could only answer truthfully, "My lord, this is my eldest brother's mount." ”
Zhao Li: "Your eldest brother is also lucky!" It's a pity that such a famous horse has fallen so far, why don't you sell it to me, of course, you can give it at any price, I will never say back, what do you think? ”
Zhang Xiang knows Zhang Fei's temperament very well, and now all he can do is stabilize Zhao Li, "What the adults say is outside, the villain is the adult's, how can he still raise money!" All I need is a letter of recommendation from an adult, and I want to get to know Lord Zhao Zhongzhao. ”
Zhao Li saw that Zhang Xiang was very sensible, and he was happy to do this favor, anyway, he didn't have to do anything for himself, so he wrote a letter of recommendation to Zhang Xiang, and the two sides could also be said to have a good conversation.
After Zhang Xiang left the pavilion, he immediately found Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was already drunk at this time, Zhang Xiang is not more than Zhang Hao at home, Zhang Fei is often like this, Zhang Xiang is not surprised.
If Zhang Xiang is too lazy to care about these things in normal times, after all, Zhang Fei is like wine, and he lived to be fifty-five years old in history, and was murdered to death by Zhang Da and Fan Qiang, it can be said that he is harmless to his body, and Zhang Xiang will let it go.
But at this time, it was different, if Zhang Fei knew that someone was watching his black horse, Zhang Xiang also acquiesced, even if Zhang Xiang was his brother, he would inevitably be beaten, and Zhang Xiang had to splash water on Zhang Fei in a hurry.
Zhang Fei was snoring like thunder, a basin of cold water woke Zhang Fei up at once, Zhang Fei saw that it was Zhang Xiang and also contained his anger, he understood that his younger brother must have something important to discuss.
Zhang Xiang: "The eldest brother came here today, he is the brother of Zhao Zhong, the tenth permanent servant, and he has taken a fancy to your black horse?" ”
Zhang Fei is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, the ten permanent servants can be said to be the real power figures in the late Han Dynasty, not a small Zhang family can resist, that will cause a catastrophe, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Xiang: "Give it, and then grab it back, at the same time, I also want Zhao Li's head and those cars of treasures, this matter should be neatly left behind, but Wu Hu can't survive." ”
Zhang Fei: "I understand. ”
Zhang Xiang felt a pain in his heart when he said this, he had never seen Zhang Fei look so gloomy, and Zhang Fei also knew how much trouble it would cause if he left Wu Qi, so he didn't refute it.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiang's heart is even more guilty, he would rather Zhang Fei show anger, Zhang Xiang also deeply felt the shame, it is because he is not strong enough that there will be such a consequence, "Big brother, there are not many people around us who can be trusted, only the hundred teenagers who took in, their strength is not enough, and the opponent is more than 300 old soldiers in the army, you have to be careful this time, don't leave any tail." “
Zhang Fei didn't say a word, Zhang Xiang didn't want to disturb him and simply left, Zhang Xiang just walked out not far away, he heard the sound of things breaking in Zhang Fei's room, Zhang Xiang didn't like this feeling very much, but he didn't know how to persuade Zhang Fei, so he could only let him go.
The next day, Zhao Li got the black horse as he wished, and the black horse kept neighing in the direction of Zhang Fei's room, Zhang Xiang also watched the black horse grow up, from a small foal to a tall horse, to say that there is no emotion, it is all fake.
Zhang Xiang couldn't bear it at this time and wanted to do it, but fortunately Zhang Xiang didn't lose his mind, he knew the consequences of doing so and the price to pay, and Zhang Xiang chose the latter without any hesitation between Wu Hu and his family.
At this time, Zhao Li didn't feel this, he only felt the strength and majesty of these horses when he heard the neighing of the black horse, his heart was full of joy, and he kept patting Zhang Xiang's shoulder.
He didn't know that this pavilion chief, who was submissive in front of him, had already killed him. Zhao Li's convoy left, and Zhang Fei immediately found Zhang Xiang, "When will you do it?" “
Zhang Xiang: "Don't wait for him to get out of Zhuo County, the eldest brother is relieved that he won't run, his goal is Daijun." “
It has been three days since Zhao Li left Houfeng Pavilion, and he looked at the kicking cloud black horse next to him, and felt a little pity in his heart, because Zhao Li used many methods in the past few days, but he did not submit the black horse, and was kicked and injured by it.
At this time, Zhao Li's convoy was passing through the Huaishan Ancient Road, in fact, the general who led the convoy did not agree to choose this road, but Zhao Li insisted on going his own way in order to take a shortcut.
Zhang Fei took a hundred of his men to ambush on the Huaishan Ancient Road, and the leading general of the convoy was relieved to leave the ancient road, and at this moment, many rolling stones and sassalwoods fell on both sides, blocking the exit.
The general of the convoy shouted, "There is an ambush, protect Lord Zhao, and the whole army is on alert." When the general said this, Zhang Fei had already picked up a big stone and threw it at Zhao Li.
In response to that sentence, people can't tolerate bad things to do everything, and before Zhao Li could react, he was already crushed by the boulder and turned into meat puree, and the generals of the convoy didn't react for a while.
By the time he reacted, it was too late, Zhao Li was dead, and more than half of his men were killed and wounded, although Zhang Xiang's subordinates were still a little lacking in force, but their bow and arrow skills were still very accurate, which was also thanks to Zhang Xiang's strict training of them.
The general of the convoy has reached the point of a dilemma, trapped in the Huaishan Ancient Road, and cannot advance or retreat, so he can only choose to rush to both sides of the road to kill, so that he will have a glimmer of life.
The general judged from the density of the arrows that there were not many attackers, so he gathered all his soldiers and rushed to the side of the road to kill, but unfortunately he didn't choose and chose the direction where Zhang Fei was stationed.
The convoy side desperately broke through, and finally made contact with Zhang Fei's team, Zhang Fei's side finally had casualties, Zhang Fei was furious and rushed towards the leading general, what a god to kill!
Killed all the way to the front of the general, Zhang Fei shook the general's spear with a knife, and then cut the general in half with another knife, Zhang Fei suddenly turned into a bloody man, killing the enemy to be terrified.
In the end, Zhang Fei's side won the victory, but unfortunately Zhang Fei also injured more than 30 people, these people can be said to be still a group of children, because they were afraid of Zhang Fei, so they couldn't help crying, but the tears couldn't stop flowing, Zhang Fei also understood their feelings, so he didn't teach them a lesson.
While cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Fei came to the front of Wu Fei, Wu Hu saw Zhang Fei, although Zhang Fei was masked, Wu Fei could still feel his master, and arched his head into Zhang Fei's arms, like a child who had left his mother.
Zhang Fei's eyes were also red, and he hugged the head of the black horse, "Heizi, I'm really reluctant to you, it's a pity that my brother wants me to keep you, so you can't stay, in the next life, you will be Zhang Fei, I will be Wuqi, and I will let you kill." “
Just as Zhang Fei was about to make a move, the subordinates next to him, "Big Young Master, why don't you hide the Wu Qi from the Third Young Master, isn't this okay?" Our brother promised not to tell me about it. “
When Zhang Fei heard this, he slapped this subordinate in the face, "I don't want to hear this sentence, you remember it for me, you can lie to anyone in the Zhang family, but you can't lie to my third brother, otherwise you will die." With that, he smashed the horse's head with a single fist.
Two days later, Zhang Fei and his entourage returned to Houfeng Pavilion in the evening, Zhang Xiang looked at the gold and silver treasures they brought back, and was blinded by these things for a while, this time it was a bumper harvest!
