Chapter Eighty-Four: Greedy for Money and Not Stupid

(5,700 words big chapter,Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, so the update is unstable.,Please forgive me.") In addition, the collection is pitifully low, and it is really a little shabby compared to the emperor, so I ask for a few collections to soothe the wounded heart. )

"Brother Little Bird, you go back and call someone, I'll go to Junoze first!"

Li Xian stuffed the book into his arms and urged the horse to rush forward. Luo Fu and Chao Qiuge followed, and Chen Qi'er didn't dare to hesitate to turn around and rush towards the woods where they came.

Sucheng County was not far from Juyeze, and Li Xian urged the big black horse to raise a puff of dust and smoke on the official road, which was as fast as thunder. He Ruozhongshan's message seemed to be light and light, but Li Xian could see the decisiveness. And He Ruo Chongshan didn't wait for Li Xian to bring people to avenge Sun Anzu, and Li Xian also understood that he didn't want to affect himself at all. When he went to Youzhou, he thought that He Ruozhong Mountain must have already investigated the situation in Juye Ze. If he hadn't known that he would definitely die, he would not have written the six words of honor and disgrace in this life.

That's not a perfunctory, it's a hope.

Hope before dying.

The big black horse tore open its hooves, and galloped like the wind on the official road. Although the horses of Luo Fu and Chao Qiuge are also excellent war horses, they are still a little worse than the big dark horses. Gradually, the distance between Li Xian and the two of them gradually widened. Luo Fu and Chao Qiuge kept chanting Li Xian's name in the back, but Li Xian didn't stop at all to wait for what they meant.

On the official road, there is an endless stream of children from good families who come to Youzhou from all over the country to gather in the army, and they are all young people with great ambitions. Although everyone's face could not hide the tiredness, it was more of an irrepressible excitement. They are all children of poor families, and each of them has a dream of fame in their hearts but takes it right away. Hu Benlang general Luo Yi, Zuo Tunwei general Mai Tiecane, these people are the goals of the Hanmen disciples, and they all want to rely on their own efforts to glorify the lintel.

Contrary to the flow of people going north, Li Xian galloped on horseback. Those children of good families who rushed to Youzhou saw Li Xian flying on the official road, and thought that he was an official with a military order, and they avoided it. There are also short-tempered people who scold, but Li Xian's speed is too fast, and his ears are full of whirring wind, where can he still hear the scolding of others. And the unlucky ghost who had just cursed people was still proudly showing off his bravery, but two more horses rushed behind him, and the knight on horseback waved his whip to drive away the crowd while shouting an urgent military situation. The man who had cursed could not dodge, and was whipped on the shoulder by one of the knights, and the whole person was whipped and turned into the grass by the side of the road.

The three of them galloped past, freshly dressed and angry, and people would not suspect their identities, and they really thought that there was some urgent military situation at the border pass. There was a lot of discussion, and some people began to wonder if Goguryeo was the first to do it. After all, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, with more than 1,000 grain guards, guarded 10,000 catties of grain and grass in Huaiyuan Town, across the Liao River, opposite to the 200,000 Goryeo soldiers led by Yizhi Wende. Taking 10,000,000 catties of grain and grass is an attractive big cake, and it is also the key to winning the war.

Although Yu Zhongwen, the general of the Right Guard, Mai Tiecan, the general of the Left Tunwei, and Yu Wenshu, the general of the Right Guard, had already rushed to Liaodong in advance, the total number of the three guards was more than 100,000, which was still twice as bad as the 200,000 Goryeo soldiers on the east bank of the Liao River.

Li Xian didn't think and wouldn't think about how heated the debate and speculation about the children of good families who went north to look for their dreams would be caused by flying horses, his mind was all on He Ruozhongshan, and he only thought that he could save his life if he rushed not too late. The terrain of Juyeze is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Dongping County government knew that Zhang Jin said that he was in Juyeze but did not send troops to exterminate it, firstly, because the imperial car was coming, no one dared to move the troops to attract His Majesty's attention, and secondly, it was really difficult to use troops here, and the lakes and mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles were heavy, not to mention suppressing, it was not easy to find anyone.

In that environment, no matter how much preparation He Ruozhongshan made, no matter what method he used, Li Xian knew that his best ending was to die with Zhang Jincheng.

There are tens of thousands of traitors and tens of thousands of traitors' families in Juye Ze, even if he kills Zhang Jincheng, he has no chance of killing him from Zeli, and the thieves who have lost their heads will dismantle him in eight pieces! Whoever avenges Zhang Jincheng may be the next big boss of the Juye Ze bandits, and he can become the emperor of the soil in a corner, who is not tempted?

"Anzhi!"

Luo Fu shouted loudly from behind, "Slow down! I have something to say! ”

Listening to the eagerness of the shouting behind him, Li Xian immediately slowed down slightly. After Luo Fu and Chao Qiuge caught up, Luo Fu asked breathlessly: "An Zhi, you are in such a hurry, is there a way to save people?" ”

Li Xian didn't answer, just shook his head.

"This won't work!"

Luo Fu said loudly: "Have you thought about why Brother He Ruo didn't wait for you!" He's just afraid of injuring you, Anzhi, I know I can't persuade you, but you should think about it, how can you go into Juye Ze to save people! You rushed over so rashly, not to mention saving people, saying that you couldn't see Brother He Ruo and was shot into a hedgehog by those bandits! ”

"I know!"

Li Xian replied with three words, his face solemn.

"After arriving outside Zewai, I will go to explore with you first, and Brother Xiao Chao is waiting outside to answer! The terrain there is dangerous, and the brigade of the imperial court can't kill it, but we have few people, hundreds of miles of water, and it's not difficult to sneak in! ”

"Ann! In my opinion, I should first inquire outside Zewai to find out the news, if someone assassinates Zhang Jin, the news will not go unnoticed! ”

Li Xian took a deep breath and said, "I can think of how Brother He Ruo is going to plan!" ”

His brow furrowed, his face gloomy.

He Ruo Heavy Mountain!

Li Xian said in his heart: Why are you so stupid!

……

……

Junozawa

"Big boss, a group of people from outside Ze came to you, saying that they came to join you."

A small leader lowered his head and said to Zhang Jincheng, who was sitting at the top.

Zhang Jin said that he sat in a very large wooden chair, and on the table in front of him were the four treasures of the study, and on the wall behind him hung a calligraphy and painting with quite charm, which was vaguely the authentic work of a great calligrapher in the previous dynasty. But with tens of thousands of bandits in Juye Zeli and more than 20,000 family members, everyone knows that in fact, the big boss Zhang Jincheng doesn't know a word at all. Although few people know that he was a bitter farmer, he later followed Sun Anzu to do some small business of buying and selling. But he could not read, but he was a very shrewd man.

Zhang Jin said that he is 42 years old this year, but he looks like he is about 60 years old. The hair on his sideburns was almost gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead were as deep as the ravines on the high northwest slope. He was not a handsome man, not even pleasing to the eye. Triangular eyes, broom eyebrows, sharp and thin face, prominent cheekbones, and a sallow face like autumn leaves. And his figure is also extremely thin, about 1.6 meters, so thin that he is as skinny as ugly.

If there's one attraction on his face, it's the gloomy eyes of a falcon.

Since occupying Juyeze and killing Sun Anzu, the brother of the sworn family, at the wine table, and subduing some of Sun Anzu's subordinates, Zhang Jin said that the number of soldiers under his command has reached about 15,000 people, even compared to Zhishilang Wang Bo. A while ago, two village forts were laid down in a row, and several rich households were looted, and the grain in Zeli was enough for more than 30,000 people to eat for a month, so Zhang Jincheng's face looked a little flushed.

Speaking of which, he is also one of the best people in the green forest of Dongping County, and even in the entire north of the Yellow River, he is famous, if it weren't for the fact that it won't be long before the Emperor Yang Guang drove his own expedition to Goguryeo, he really wanted to take advantage of the strong soldiers, horses, and abundant grain and grass to fight the idea of Dongping County Zhiyun City. Last time, he took more than 10,000 men and horses to camp outside Yuncheng for two days, and Wu Xianzu, the county guard, not only did not dare to send county soldiers out of the city to fight, but instead sent people to send 1,000 taels of silver and 5,000 pieces of meat, which made Zhang Jincheng extremely proud.

Therefore, he felt that if he really sent troops to attack Yuncheng, he might be able to defeat it. Compared to those two village forts, the wealth in Yuncheng is enough for the people in Juye Zeli to eat for ten or eight years!

Victory and fame can always make people spin, and Zhang Jincheng is no exception. Recently, many people on the green forest road have come to run, at first he also made a polite corporal appearance, slowly, as more and more people came to take refuge in him, he didn't even bother to do it.

"Where did it come from?"

Zhang Jincheng licked the oil stains on his lips and asked hoarsely.

The small leader of his subordinates raised his head and glanced at Zhang Jincheng, and quickly lowered his head again.

"Big boss, that man said his name is Wu Lailu, yes...... It was Sun Anzu's subordinates. He specially brought 200 horses to show his sincerity. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing about the two hundred good horses, Zhang Jin said that he immediately came to his senses. He sat up straight and asked, "Wu Lailu?" How come I haven't heard of such a number one person. How many people did he bring with him? ”

"Back to the big boss, the man surnamed Wu only brought a hundred and ten people and more than two hundred war horses. I've seen it, and it's indeed a real good horse in Saibei. It's definitely not a stuff like a horse or a mule! ”

"Only a hundred?"

Zhang Jincheng pursed his lips and said, "Old Seven, you go out and pick it up for me." For the sake of the more than 200 good horses, you should let him be a deputy master under you." ”

Lao Qi, that is, the seventh master of Juyeze, is a burly man about thirty years old, surnamed Wang, called Wang An. According to himself, he is still from the Jiangnan Wang family, but everyone in Zeli knows that he is just bragging. Now in this world, who says who is not a famous family? Zhang Jin also said that he was a descendant of Zhang Jaw, a famous general of Wei in the late Han Dynasty.

However, Wang Laoqi's ability is really not blown, and he can also rank in the top three in the entire Juye Ze. If it was really a heads-up, ten Zhang Jincheng might not be able to beat him. But Wang Laoqi was convinced by Zhang Jin's claim, and even Zhang Jin's cough could startle him. There is no other reason, I just thought that he didn't dare to eat people, and Zhang Jin said he would.

Now there is a pot of wine and a plate of braised pork dishes on the table of Zhang Jincheng. Wang Laoqi knew that it was a plate of fried people's hearts. Zhang Jin said that he eats people's hearts, he has always liked to eat raw, and he likes to eat fresh, and he eats it immediately after he takes it out after disemboweling, and rarely cooks it for wine. His scarlet mouth is particularly hideous, but now he pretends to be Sven pinching the slices of meat and putting them in his mouth to chew.

"Yes, I'll go out to meet you!"

I heard that someone sent more than 200 good horses from Saibei, and Wang Laoqi, who has always loved horses, was also quite excited. He stood up, hugged his fists at Zhang Jincheng, and strode out.

Zheng Kun, the third master of Ju Ye Ze, smiled flatteringly and said: "Big brother, now our Ju Ye Ze soldiers are strong and strong, in my opinion, you should also have a name, big brother." ”

A while ago, he persuaded Zhang Jin to be called king, and at the worst of all, he should be called a general like Sun Anzu. But Zhang Jin said that he had not agreed, and scolded him a few times. But it is clear that Zhang Jincheng is in a good mood today. He smiled and nodded: "This matter is not in a hurry, it is rare that you have this heart." ”

He pushed the plate in front of him forward: "Third child, this reward is for you." ”

Zheng Kun's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's better for the eldest brother to enjoy it himself, I'll ...... I don't have that mouthful. ”

Zhang Jincheng gritted his teeth and smiled: "I said that you have this blessing, you have it." Do you refuse, do you not want to eat, do you dare not eat, or do you not give me face? ”

Zheng Kun hurriedly bent down and hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, I'm ...... I really ......."

Before he could say the rest of the words, Zhang Jincheng sneered a few times and said: "If you want to eat it, you will eat it, do you still dislike me for being dirty?" Third child, you have been persuading me to be the king, and you have a heart. I will say the same thing one last time today, and if I hear you say it again in the future, I will dig out your heart and drink. ”

He paused and said, "King? Do you really think you're fucking invincible? Now it looks like everyone is mixing well, and that's because we have a good place! The thousands of pieces of meat sent by Wu Xianzu, the county guard of Dongping County, fascinated your eyes? If it weren't for Yang Guang's faint monarch who was about to go north, Wu Xianzu was afraid that our troubles would reach the emperor's ears, and he would pay the money so honestly? Let me tell you, now that the imperial court is busy attacking Goguryeo, there is no time to pay attention to us, if we really claim the throne, the imperial court will immediately send a large army! ”

"The court can tolerate thieves, but no one will be allowed to claim the throne!"

Zhang Jincheng shouted: "Eat it!" ”

Zheng Kun gritted his teeth, picked up a piece of meat from the plate with trembling hands, and slowly put it in his mouth to chew. He didn't dare to vomit or swallow, and his expression was painful.

Zhang Jin said hehe sneered: "It's not delicious? ”

"Good...... Delicious! ”

"Then eat them all, if someone breaks the rules again, I'll give you a fresh taste!"

As he was talking, he saw Wang Laoqi walk in with a look of chagrin. He hugged Zhang Jincheng and said: "Big brother, the guy surnamed Wu refused to come in with me, and he refused to hand over the horse, he said that he came to join the eldest brother, and he didn't just send someone to deal with him." ”

Zhang Jincheng raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "You just came back like this?" If he refuses to hand over the horse, you won't fucking rob it yourself!? ”

Wang Laoqi hung his head and said, "The main thing is ...... The man surnamed Wu said that he still had a treasure on him, and he was willing to hand it over only when he saw your eldest brother. ”

"What baby?!"

Zhang Jincheng frowned and asked.

"He said that it was the gold, silver and jewelry that Sun Anzu hid in Saibei!"

Zhang Jincheng's face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a while and said, "Let him come in, tell him that I have prepared wine for him in this big tent." ”

Wang Laoqi still shook his head: "The one surnamed Wu said, let the eldest brother go out to pick him up in person, otherwise he will leave immediately." ”

Zhang Jincheng opened his mouth and suddenly laughed. He stood up and tidied up the new brocade clothes on his body, and inserted the inch-long silver knife on his belt and said, "Okay, I'll go to greet him myself." ”

Although he had a smile on his face, everyone in the tent felt a chill.

Zhang Jin said that he walked outside the stockade and walked along a path for more than ten minutes before he reached the edge of a forest. I saw that the trail was blocked by more than a dozen minions of Junozawa, guarding there with knives and guns. Outside the forest is an open field, which looks flat, but everyone in the Danzig knows that there is actually only a road four or five meters wide, and the rest of the place is full of mud bubbles, as long as you step on it, it will not take long to sink in, and the more you struggle, the deeper you will fall.

"This is Brother Wu?"

Zhang Jincheng waved his hand to signal the minions who were blocking to get out of the way, and hugged his fist to the man standing at the front of the horse team and asked.

That person was He Ruozhongshan, seeing that the person on the opposite side was thin but wearing a wide brocade robe, triangular eyes and eyebrows, he knew that it must be Zhang Jin, the big boss of Ju Yeze.

He bowed down and said: "I have long admired the prestige of Zhang Da, and Wu Lailu has come to meet each other!" ”

Zhang Jincheng smiled and said: "All brothers in the four seas, Brother Wu doesn't have to be so polite." ”

He glanced at the cavalry behind Wu Lailu, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes. He pointed to a snow-white war horse and smiled: "It's really a good horse, it's just ...... That little brother on horseback, why is your face so pale? What are your hands shaking? ”

The man on horseback had a changed face, but he didn't know how to speak.

He Ruozhongshan smiled and said: "My brothers have all heard of the prestige of Zhang Da's family, and now that they see him, they will inevitably be nervous." ”

Zhang Jincheng smiled and said, "What are you nervous about?" Is it because I am afraid of my reputation for eating people's hearts? ”

He Ruozhongshan's face remained unchanged: "The big boss is laughing, the brothers are afraid of the big boss's tiger might." ”

Zhang Jincheng laughed, pulled He Ruozhongshan's arm and said, "That's good!" Let's go, follow me into Zeli. Today, you have sent 200 good horses and made a great contribution to my Ju Yeze, and I will definitely not treat you badly, and of course I will not treat you brothers badly! ”

He Ruozhongshan pretended to be surprised and said, "Thank you, big boss!" ”

The two of them walked arm in hand, and after walking for a while, Zhang Jincheng suddenly asked, "Brother Wu, why is your right hand always on the hilt?" Are you worried about me? ”

He Ruozhongshan smiled without a trace: "Where the big boss said, he lived a knife licking blood, and if he was not careful, he would lose his life, this is just a brother's habit." ”

As he spoke, he released his hand from the hilt.

Zhang Jincheng smiled and asked, "Brother Wu, I heard that you have been selling horses in Saibei?" ”

"Exactly, Sun Da is in charge...... Sun Anzu said that he wanted to get a cavalry team out, so he sent me to the bitter cold land of Saibei. One doesn't give money, the other doesn't give people, let me figure it out myself! I have been running outside the Great Wall for more than a year, and I finally attacked Xiren's horse farm and grabbed a lot of good horses. If it weren't for the fact that Xi Ren chased and lost some horses, it would be said that there would be twice as many good horses dedicated to the big boss today! ”

Zhang Jincheng smiled: "That's a pity." ”

"Brother Wu, you say you know the treasure that Sun Anzu hid outside the Saiwai?"

He Ruozhongshan was slightly stunned, and then said in a low voice: "If the law is not passed on to the six ears, we will still ......."

As soon as he approached Zhang Jincheng's ear, the expression on his face suddenly froze. He slowly lowered his head, and then saw a silver knife stuck in his heart. He raised his head to look at Zhang Jincheng, only to see the latter looking at him with a grim smile.

"Sun Anzu and I are sworn brothers, if he has any mother's treasures, he will not be able to pay the taxes of the imperial court, and he will not be able to make up a few pieces of skin that the government asks? A few years ago, I went out with him to do business, and I don't know how much money he has. Brother Wu...... It seems that you know that I am greedy for money, but you should also know that I am not stupid. ”

"Kill!"

Zhang Jin shouted fiercely, and then took the lead in retreating to one side.

Suddenly, countless minions rushed out of the woods, bent their bows and arrows and shot at He Ruozhongshan's men!

……

……

Li Xian wiped a handful of sweat that flowed down his forehead and affected his vision, and silently roared in his heart: "He Ruo Chongshan! Before Lao Tzu comes, you are not allowed to fucking die! ”

He Ruozhongshan squinted his eyes, looked at Zhang Jincheng's back who had run away, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "You said last time that you can't do this...... Anzhi, you're right.

He knew that Sun Anzu and Zhang Jin claimed to be sworn brothers, but he didn't know that the two of them had been out of the jam together several times.

Zhang Jin said that he won again, and he won because he was shrewd enough.
