Chapter Twenty-Seven: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
In Zhang Fuzhong in Cangzhou City, Zhang Yu, who was wrapped in gauze on his thighs, was lying on the bed with an angry face, and pushed away the ginseng soup sent by the concubine and smashed the cup to pieces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm so angry, Liu Ping's thief and army are too deceitful, bring pen and ink, I want to write a letter, I want to tell my second uncle, let him clean up this unsightly mess." Zhang Yu's face was full of viciousness, and he gritted his teeth.
"Master, now that the north is in turmoil, the court is beyond the reach of the whip, even if you want the second old lady to help, I am afraid that I can't help, in this Cangzhou City, there are all the minions of Liu Ping's dog thief, but it is not easy to bring him down." The henchman next to him dissuaded.
"What then? Is this just the bastard's anger?!! Zhang Yu looked at his henchman angrily.
"Master, it's not that there is no way, it depends on whether you dare or not." The minion lowered his voice and said.
"You guys, all go out, don't come without my summons!" Zhang Yu drove out all the concubines and maidservants. "Well, I'll listen."
"Master, don't forget, those grains are all military rations kept by Guo Duguan, you didn't take it out last time Zong Ze's people came, and now Zong Ze's side is fighting with Jin Wanyan Zongwang's side, how can there be any air to manage Cangzhou's affairs, my cousin sent me a letter yesterday, saying that the soldiers who came to get food in Yizhou last time were killed by that Liu Ping, Guo Duguan was furious, and he was going to lead troops to attack Cangzhou in the near future. Let's work together inside and outside, open the city gate, hehe... How can Liu Ping's thousand recruits be Guo Duguan's opponent, then Liu Ping will have been taken down a long time ago, and you can avenge that sword. The butler whispered to the side.
"Well, if that's the case, that's great, I'll have to fix that thief when the time comes." Zhang Yu sneered.
The master and servant were planning again, thinking about how to open the city gates.
Regardless of the traitorous master and evil servant discussing how to open the city gate to welcome Guo Yaoshi's dirty affairs, Liu Ping was looking at Fang Jinzhi who was packing his luggage in his humble mansion at this time, and the little bean next to him kept shedding tears to dissuade him.
"Sister Fang, don't go, stay here." Xiaodouzi said with teary eyes.
"Sister Douzi, I don't want to, but I still have my things to do, and when my sister does her own thing well, I'll come back to accompany you." Fang Jinzhi's eyes were also slightly red. As a little sister who is in trouble together, Fang Jinzhi still likes this little sister very much.
"Ahem, do you really have to go?" Liu Ping looked at Fang Jinzhi, who had already packed his luggage in front of him, and said. After more than ten days of cultivation, Fang Jinzhi's injuries at this time have healed a lot, his tall figure and beautiful appearance are definitely a stunner, but Liu Ping, this guy has been immersed in the training of people in the army all day long, and he has never come back, and today he heard Xiaodouzi send someone to find him and say that Fang Jinzhi was leaving, so he came back in a hurry.
"Well, thank you for taking care of me, Liu Ping, I owe you a life, and I will repay your kindness sooner or later, but what I hate most in my life is the official army, so I can't stay for a long time, not to mention that I still have something to do." Fang Jinzhi looked at Liu Ping and said.
"Cut, then why don't you make a promise." Liu Ping said secretly, but his mouth said: "Where you go is your freedom, first, you are not my wife, second, I am not your master, there is no freedom to imprison you, but you are a big girl, you look so beautiful, I am afraid that you will be arrested by the bandits when you go out of the city." ”
"You don't have to worry about it, my kung fu can still deal with a few thieves." Fang Jinzhi said expressionlessly. "Don't leave it at that, take good care of Little Bean, don't always go home. Let's make Little Beans worry. When the word home was spoken, Fang Jinzhi's heart throbbed. The word home is too unfamiliar, maybe I don't have a home for a long time.
"You're so alone, where are you going? It's really dangerous out there. Liu Ping said with a frown.
"Don't make a fuss, put down your things, and stay at home for me honestly." As he spoke, he was about to take down the blanket on Fang Jinzhi's body. Fang Jinzhi took a whirling step, turned sideways, dodged all of a sudden, grabbed Liu Ping's wrist with a hand, and staggered Liu Ping with a slight pull.
"Hey, you still dare to ....... with me." Before Liu Ping finished speaking, he was kicked on the waist, and Liu Ping, who was in pain, bared his teeth. With a swipe, the saber on his waist had already reached Fang Jinzhi's hand like a trick. The tip of the knife pointed at Liu Ping's neck.
"As I said, I have the ability to protect myself and don't need your mercy." With a bang, the long knife was thrown to the ground, and Liu Ping was also pushed aside.
"I'm sorry, I shot too hard." Fang Jinzhi's eyes were full of apologies.
"Damn! You're a sneak attack, okay! If I do fight you, I won't be my opponent!" Liu Pingwu said to himself.
"No matter what, no matter what you try to persuade me, I'm leaving, thank you for taking care of me during my injuries. You're a good guy. After speaking, Fang Jinzhi's face flushed a little.
There were a lot of talents under my father back then, but none of them could make me feel a little excited, but Liu Ping, who had known each other for less than a month, was an alternative.
"Rub, is this considered a good person card?" Liu Ping said in his heart. In his previous life, he also pursued the girl he liked, but he was dismissed by someone who said that you are a good person. I didn't expect that I was also issued a good person card in ancient times, which is really enough to cheat my father.
"Brother Ping, think of a way, don't let Sister Fang go, okay." Xiaodouzi grabbed Liu Ping with tears on his face and said.
"Xiaodouzi, it's not that my brother doesn't want to do anything, it's that your sister Fang is bent on leaving, I can lock her up for ten days and ten months, but I can't lock her up for a lifetime. If you want to go, let her go. Liu Ping said helplessly.
"What more could you ask for?" Liu Ping said to Fang Jinzhi.
"Give me a horse."
"Okay." Liu Ping happily agreed.
Fang Jinzhi packed his bags, rode on the horse given by Liu Ping, shook the reins and galloped away, and left Cangzhou City. Looking at Fang Jinzhi's figure, Liu Ping lost his mind for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "It is said that women are ruthless, and this is indeed the case." ”
Xiao Douzi kept crying with tears in her eyes, and she kept letting herself go, Fang Jinzhi chased him back. Liu Ping looked at Xiaodouzi speechlessly, patted his head and said, "You can't keep it, silly girl, when your sister Fang finishes her work, she will naturally come back." Liu Ping squatted down and comforted Xiaodouzi.
"Really?" Little Bean looked incredulous.
"Of course it's true." Liu Ping assured. Liu Ping knew that this Fang Jinzhi had a lot of things in his heart, and even her life experience had never been told to others, and Liu Ping had secretly guessed, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion. You know, harboring a criminal is also a big crime. Although the control ability of the imperial court is almost gone, nominally, he still belongs to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Send two clever ones, follow Miss Fang, what is the problem of the province" Liu Ping said to Yang Sanduo, the guard beside him.
"It's the general." Yang Sanduo responded. Then he ordered the guards beside him to ride up and follow me from a distance.
"See General Liu." A loud singing made Liu Ping come back to his senses.
"Oh?" It turned out to be Captain Zhang, how could there be something? Liu Ping found out that it was Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun turned out to be the nephew of the guard general Zhang Wei, he said that he was a little arrogant, but his brain was also flexible, he was born in the Northwest Frontier Army, and he dared to fight, Liu Ping felt that he was a talent, so he put it in his camp tent, and now he is the head of the scout camp. There are also dozens of people under him. Although the official position of the lieutenant does the duty of the capital, he has no complaints. Liu Ping was also quite satisfied.
"General, Tan Malai reported, there is an abnormal movement in Yizhou, since the brothers threw the heads of those dead Yizhou soldiers under the city, they have found that the troops in the city are frequently mobilized, and they may want to attack us." Zhang Jun said.
"Hehe, I'm afraid Pharmacist Guo is already on the way at this moment." Liu Ping sneered. "Send more scouts to hear the truth and the truth. Tell Lin Yingwei and Yue Yingwei again, get ready for battle, since Pharmacist Guo has the courage to come, then let's have a good time with him.
"The last general obeys the order" Zhang Jun replied and led the troops to pass the order.
A team of people and horses are slowly coming from the direction of Yizhou towards Cangzhou at this moment, there are more than 3,000 people, in the Chinese army, Guo Yaoshi is wearing a bright light armor, wearing a beast head iron helmet on his head, and a three-foot green peak hanging on his waist. Sitting on the horse, his face relaxed.
"Five ministers," Pharmacist Guo shouted.
"Everything, the end will be." A tall man on a horse came running from the rear. It was Zhen Wuchen who hurriedly asked, "Everything, what are your orders?" ”
"Wuchen, how long will it take to get to Cangzhou?" Pharmacist Guo asked.
"Two hours in time." Zhen Wuchen replied.
"Well, let the sons and daughters work harder, go faster, and when we get to Cangzhou City, I will have enough good wine and meat, and enough women." With the excitement on Guo Yaoshi's face, he will soon arrive in Cangzhou City, and all the wealth in the city should be his own. That Liu Ping? Hmph, the person who killed me, let you live for a few more hours for the time being, and when a certain family arrives in Cangzhou, I will take your dog's head!
"Hurry!! There are orders in charge, speed up, speed up! Entered the city of Cangzhou, good wine and good meat are enough! Women sleep casually! Zhen Wuchen waved his horsewhip and shouted loudly in the ranks.
It's just that there are very few people who respond, just because the victorious army has been short of food for a long time, most of the soldiers are hungry, and the superior commanders have withheld food and wages, and many of the soldiers of the victorious army are tired, but they dare not escape because the military law is too strict. Otherwise, the gang would have broken up a long time ago, and Zong Ze and Wanyan Zongwang would be wary of themselves, and they would not give themselves food at all. In order to maintain the expenditure in the army, Guo Yaoshi also tried his best, which is why Guo Yaoshi came to loot Cangzhou in such a hurry. Lack of money and food.
Some of the soldiers in the team whispered.
"You know what? This time I was going to Cangzhou, and I heard that I was fighting with Liu Ping, who won the Jin people. A soldier said.
"Did you hear that? That Cangzhou guard is a mud-legged general, very tight, the Jin people are not fierce, hey, he was stunned to bite the vanguard general of the Jin people, Wuyan Puluhun. Another soldier said.
"It's really fake, how did I hear that it was a knife that killed the golden general."
"I don't care if he bites him to death or chops him to death, in short, he is a man, if he can be under his command, it is better than being comfortable in this victorious army. Straight thief, Lao Tzu has been working in this ever-winning army for almost seven years, first followed the Liao people to fight the Jin people, the Liao people were defeated, and then fell under the hands of the Jin people, they can't eat enough every day, and the salary is not paid on time, since Dong Xiaocun's death, we are even more difficult to live, the Jin people don't want us, and the Song people are even more avoided. Let's see how far this Guo Duguan can take us. An older soldier grumbled.
"Yo, old brother, be quiet, pay attention to let the Zhen brothers hear, and be careful of being beaten with a stick when the time comes." A soldier reminded him.
"It's better to beat and die, than to starve. Lao Tzu has had enough of it a long time ago! The old soldier said angrily.
"Yes, what my brother said is right, I can't stand it."
"That is, it is better to go directly to the south and cross the Baigou River, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty is full of gold, it is better than not having enough to eat."
"Smack!" A leather whip was drawn in the air and struck straight at the last soldier to speak. The soldiers scattered around, only to see a horse standing next to the marching team, and immediately sat a general dressed in armor with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a longbow behind him, and shouted loudly: "This group of splashers, what are you talking about behind your back, you are not afraid that Lao Tzu will pull out your tongue, and then there will be people who chew your tongue indiscriminately, don't blame a certain family for turning their faces and being ruthless!" ”
