Chapter 1: The First Arrival in the Warring States Period (3)
"It's so dangerous, it's good to listen to Brother Zhao's words just now, otherwise he would definitely be killed by the horse bandits now. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Wu sat in the carriage and looked behind him, the black figure was the eight horse thieves who were burned in the mountain, at this time their faces were like black charcoal, and they didn't even pick up the goods left by the convoy, but they were bent on killing them.
Zhao Zheng was speechless, he kept staring at the black shadow behind him, although most of the horse bandits did not have horses, but the speed of running was not slow, and if they continued like this, they would catch up sooner or later.
"I'm afraid Uncle Tao will have to keep a few more people, I'll count one, and you can find a few of the rest."
Tao Yuan knew that it was a dead end, but he laughed, casually called a few names, and got out of the car without hesitation.
Xiao Wu looked at Tao Yuan and Zhao Zheng and hesitated whether to stay, but was pushed by Zhao Zheng onto a horse that had unloaded the car. "You kid is skinny, it's better not to stay and make trouble, run for your life."
Xiao Wu looked at the tears, grabbed the horse's mane and kicked the horse's butt and ran away, Zhao Zheng looked at the black lines on his head, sure enough, there are few people like him who are looking for death, this time it should be regarded as a life-saving grace to repay Zheng Sleeve, anyway, he is inexplicably alive, maybe he can wear that dynasty this time.
"Push the carriages in a row, sprinkle tung oil and set them all on fire, let's not worry, but don't be idle, take the swords in your hands, quickly chop some thin wooden sticks and stick them on the road, and see if the soles of the horse bandits are hard."
Dozens of people moved when they heard the sound, regardless of the scratches of the bushes, they quickly chopped the wooden sticks and inserted them, Zhao Zheng calculated the time, and the horse bandits could catch up in less than half an hour.
Half an hour later, a row of carriages on the road was blazing, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva when I looked at those horse bandits. The leader of the horse boss shouted: "I'm afraid of a ball, it's just a row of cars, you just go around, hurry up and rush to Naifu, if you don't kill all the people of the Zheng family, Naifu's can't swallow this breath." ”
"Kill~~"
The horse bandits swarmed, but they screamed violently, and the people behind did not know that they were still running forward, so the two groups of people in front and behind collided together, and became a mess.
"What's going on, why don't you rush forward?" Boss Ma was very angry, this time he lost face, especially when there was a masked helper by his side.
The man said gloomily: "I created such a good opportunity, Boss Ma, you didn't seize it, I'm afraid the adults won't be able to spare you." ”
"I know, I don't need you to teach me a lesson. I want to ask you, didn't you say that Tao Yuan had courage and no strategy, how did he come up with these plans and damage my brothers. ”
・・・・・・
The two men were still arguing about right and wrong, and the bandits began to pull out wooden sticks on the ground, and from a distance they looked like some of the imperial army sweeping mines.
Zhao Zheng looked at it and suddenly laughed, Tao Yuan and everyone were puzzled, what was so funny at the moment of life and death.
Zhao Zheng didn't explain, and whispered: "Don't speak, attack quietly, throw the stone in your hand first, and then shout." ”
"Whoosh~~"
Suddenly a rain of flying stones flew over the mountain, and the stones were not big but they hurt when they hit the head, and the horse bandits retreated. Ma Boss looked furious, it was so easy to attack and defend, and shouted: "Give me all charges, they are on the mountain, kill a person and I will reward him with a woman." ”
"Kill~~"
Stimulated by male hormones, the horse bandits finally raised their fighting spirit and rushed up against the stones, and the front team screamed again before they climbed far, it turned out that this was the real "minefield", and the wooden sticks in front of them only looked like the ones in front.
The front team did not advance, and the rear team advanced under the urging of the horse boss, and the front team shouted that there were wooden thorns, but the sound was muttered by the shouts of the mountain, and for a while the horse bandits came to a standstill.
"His uncle is a ball, the Zheng family on the mountain is very cunning, how did you provide the news, such a person has been forgotten by you."
Ma Boss pointed at the masked man and scolded, this mission has failed, he missed the best opportunity, I am afraid that the garrison of Y County will appear, and the responsibilities at this time must be distinguished.
"Hmph, blame me for being useless, the Tao Yuan can use no more than fifty people, and more than 200 of you can't catch up, it's really useless."
"You..."
There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the horse boss fixed his eyes on a big banner with the word Ji, knowing that it was the garrison of Y County who came to support, and ordered to retreat.
The people on the mountain also saw the banner of the garrison, and the momentum became more and more majestic, and there was a sense of rushing down the mountain to kill again.
Zhao Zheng hurriedly grabbed Tao Yuan and persuaded: "We delayed the time of the horse bandits by skill, but the number is still inferior, not to mention that it takes time for the reinforcements to arrive, and rushing down at this time is like looking for death." Tao Yuan suppressed the belligerence of his subordinates, patiently waited for reinforcements to come, and the horse bandits retreated before they safely descended the mountain and returned to the city.
Ji Chong was the leader of the garrison, the only lieutenant general in Yixian County, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that although they were ragged and embarrassed in Tao Yuan, they were not seriously injured.
"Chief Tao is old and strong, and only fifty people can block hundreds of horse bandits, even Ji Chong can't reach this time, and he is worthy of being the centurion of my Great Yan Ruishi Battalion."
Tao Yuan must have been happy to hear this praise in the past, but today he was a little ashamed, thinking that he would take everyone to kill for a while and suffer countless casualties, Zhao Zheng only moved his mouth to resolve the crisis, and felt that he had been photographed on the beach.
Tao Yuan said: "General Zhonglang praised, this battle is not my work is the strategy of this young man, it is under his leadership that we escaped the sword of the horse bandits, and waited for the rescue of General Zhonglang." ”
"Oh, who is this?"
Tao Yuan used to be the centurion of the strongest army in Yan State, Ji Chong was not surprised to have such a strategy, but Zhao Zheng, a little-known hairy guy, had this strategy, so he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"I didn't know that there was such a young hero in my Y County, so I dared to ask which boy it was, so that Ji Chong could come to visit."
Zhao Zheng saw all of Ji Chong's reactions in his heart, in his previous life, he was frustrated in his studies and work, and he didn't read less books with that kind of micro-expression, and Ji Chong clearly felt a little jealous of him. But he is the head snake of Yixian County, and after hearing this name as a prince, he can't afford to provoke him.
"In Xia Zhao Zheng, he is a man from the mountains and wilderness, he was attacked by robbers on the road and fell into a coma, and was rescued by Uncle Tao, all of which is also to repay Uncle Tao for saving his life."
In other words, I am not showing off or repaying my kindness, and you don't have to be afraid that I will use this matter to ask Yi Hou to take credit for your status.
Ji Chong said: "Brother Zhao is affectionate, righteous, brave and strategic, he is a good man, it is better to follow me into the city to meet Yi Hou together, or stay in Yixian County to display his talents." ”
Still can't believe it, Zhao Zheng was a little speechless, and immediately said: "After going down to the city to thank Miss Zheng, I will leave, I can't hide that Zhao Zheng is not in the temple, and what he pursues all his life is the days when Tao Zhugong spends a lot of money." ”
"It turns out that he is just doing business", Ji Chong was relieved and said with a smile: "Then I won't force Brother Zhao, I hope that Brother Zhao already has thousands of family assets." ”
"Cheng Ji Yan"
After entering Yixian County, Zhao Zheng hurriedly left this hypocrite, and kept talking to himself about business affairs along the way, and he was more experienced than Tao Zhugong. In ancient times, it was really dangerous, and it didn't attract two enemies, one was the eight-horse thief who occupied Taihang, and the other was Ji Chong, the middle-aged general with a kind face and a black heart.
When he came to Zheng's house, Zhao Zheng collapsed on the bed and fell asleep, and he didn't wake up until the next morning, this time he slept comfortably and his head finally didn't hurt.
"Knock Knock"
But it was the head of the Zheng family who invited Zhao Zheng to the front hall for a banquet to thank him for saving the Zheng family's convoy. Zhao Zheng hurriedly got up and washed, and with the help of his subordinates, he put on a wide robe and big sleeves, and then went to the front hall awkwardly.
"Zheng Li would like to thank Mr. for saving the little girl, please drink this cup." Zheng Li looked at Zhao Zheng, who had short hair, although it was awkward, he still sincerely toasted a glass of wine.
Zhao Zheng kept smiling and tried to swallow the glass of wine that was neither spicy nor sweet, but unfortunately Zheng Sleeve didn't come, otherwise wouldn't it be nice to eat.
Zheng Li said: "This horse bandit attack is all thanks to the power of Mr., and the captain of my guard also told me about Sir's plan, which is really a clever plan, and those abandoned goods horse bandits did not plunder. ”
"I just don't know where Mr. Zhao came from, where he learned from, and learned from that master?" Zheng Gao walked from outside the door and looked at him with pity, as if Zhao Zheng owed him hundreds of thousands.
Zhao Zheng looked at the captain of the guard who was advancing in a roundabout way, except for the white cloth wrapped around his arm, the other parts were unharmed.
At this moment came a couple of maids outside the door holding a tray with a few ingots of gold on it. Zheng Li laughed and said: "Mr. Zhao is a young hero, the old man is happy to see the hunt, and Mr. Wen has no intention of entering the office, so he is willing to give a thousand gold, and the beautiful maid hires Mr. to help me do business." ”
The main topic came, Zhao Zheng looked at the gold and the maidservants with playful eyes, and a happy life was only between the tentacles. But looking at Zheng Gao's eyes, Zhao Zheng felt a trace of coldness in his heart, he had been unlucky for several years in his previous life, and he had seen those who had harmed himself, who had not harmed but wanted to harm himself.
"It's not good, it seems that this Zheng family is very interesting." Zhao Zhengxin said, arched his hand to Zheng Li, and said: "In the inferior talent, I dare not show off in front of Zheng Gong, and I dare not accept this golden beauty." ”
"Hmm"
Zheng Li's eyes became cold, and he said: "In this case, Mr. please take it away, but since the old man gave it away, he will not take it back, and I hope I don't want to refuse." ”
Zhao Zheng smiled and saluted, only accepted 100 gold and left the front hall. The rich man's world really can't understand it, and his little heart is frightened by the change.
"Don't go."
When he walked through the front yard, there was a sweet cry behind him, and it was that Lori Xiaozhao who stopped him, and she was the only one who called the disciple.
Zhao Zheng looked back and smiled: "Sister Xiao Zhao is polite, did the sleeve girl ask you to call me over, and lead the way ahead." ”
"Hmph"
Xiao Zhao stomped his feet and ignored Zhao Zheng, originally wanted to tease him, but who knew that he guessed it. Is this disciple actually not bad, Xiao Zhao has invisibly changed his attitude towards Zhao Zheng.
After a while, Zhao Zheng turned to a garden, and the chrysanthemums bloomed with their last brilliance. Zheng Sleeve sat alone in the garden pavilion, but holding the veil made Zhao Zheng feel pity.
"Sir, please take a seat, Mr. Zheng Sleeve knows that Mr. refused his father's invitation, and apologizes for his father's attitude, and I hope Mr. will not be surprised."
Having said so, what are you still angry about, Zhao Zheng sat down in front of Zheng Sleeve with a smile, picked up a cup of hot water and drank a cup.
"Don't blame the sleeve girl, Zhao Zheng has been ignorant of good and bad for a long time, and it is impossible to change it, I hope Zheng Gong will not be surprised."
