Yang Zhi's reaction to the letter was completely different from the last time. His eyes were stunned for a long time, and he gradually smiled smugly, and then he frowned again, looking worried. Everyone had a lesson from the last time, and they didn't dare to disturb the quiet dispersion, leaving him alone to be stupid.
Although Yang Zhi is indifferent, he is not the kind of hard-hearted and ruthless person. Since I was with Zhao Yanchun for a while, I felt that I had a responsibility to her, and now this responsibility has undoubtedly increased a little more. Shen Yu is a normal woman who dares to love and hate, but she is also kind, otherwise how could she report this embarrassing good news as soon as possible?
The biggest obstacle between Yang Zhi and Zhao Yan is the emperor's face, but face is absolutely vulnerable in front of his grandfather. Yang Zhi kept obsessing the emperor's embarrassed, angry, and helpless face, how could he not be in a good mood?
Yang Zhi tried his best to recall every detail of that ridiculous night, but in fact, he drank the sobering soup with ingredients after being drunk and gave birth to the madness of that night. What he is most worried about is the quality of the child in Zhao Yan's belly, he is barely considered a Yushu Linfeng Wise and Martial Arts, if he gives birth to an imbecile child with missing arms and legs or mental retardation, wouldn't it be very bad?
Thinking about it, I have mixed feelings in my heart. Scratching his head and pondering for a long time, he dragged Qin Jiaoyang back with a peculiar letter from home: I'm very happy, I'm very happy, I'm really happy!
After ordering everyone to rest for a day, it was time to arrange the land den to exterminate Yingniang and Xiong Zhan on the first line of Penglai.
Many people become wandering pirates not because they have this hobby, but because they have a profession to live by. Pirates are people rather than fish, and they not only need to find out the news of all parties, but also need to replenish food, blades and many utensils, and they also need to go ashore from time to time to "experience life" in order to make themselves feel that they are not isolated savages. The secrecy of the shore strongholds is only relatively speaking, and the local government and pirates are generally afraid of each other, but there are unclear interests involved with each other. With the full cooperation of Mr. Yi, Qin Jiaoyang has already figured it out.
There are only more than 100 officials in a huge Penglai County. The number of people and combat effectiveness made Yang Zhi look down on him. There are a lot of personal guards and Zhuang Ding of the merchants, but it is just a plate of loose sand, and the mud bodhisattvas cross the river to protect their own. The only one who can really get his hands on it is the Daxia army, and there are 3,000 soldiers stationed in Laiwu, which is only more than 200 miles away from Penglai.
Yang Zhi didn't know who the two captains who led the troops were. decided to assign Zhang Bohu to take Liu Er and Wen Si for a run. For the sake of prudence, in addition to asking Zhang Bohu to bring the imperial gold medal, he also wrote a very distinctive troop transfer order: I don't care who you are, listen to me and don't lose anything. He was ordered to inspect the minister of the Qincha and the Marquis of the Great Xia Flying Tiger.
It was the first time for everyone to see such high-end goods as the royal gold medal that "came in person", and they were all stunned. Zhang Bohu won the gold medal and played for a long time. He asked with a complicated expression: "Brother Yang, it's not that I'm lazy and unwilling to go to Laiwu to transfer troops, it goes without saying what the weight of this gold medal is, can you really trust me like this?" ”
Qin Jiaoyang coughed again and again, but Yang Zhi just pretended to turn a blind eye: "Why did Brother Zhang say this?" If you say that, then I don't have to do anything. I'm most relieved that you'll do it. ”
Zhang Bohu cautiously put away the gold medal closely, and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to Brother Yang's trust." ”
After Zhang Bohu took the order and left, Qin Jiaoyang pulled Yang Zhi aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, that gold medal is not trivial. Why do you trust him so much? ”
Yang Zhi smiled faintly and said, "Brother Qin, what did the Qin clan do with so many guys?" This is also a truth. Zhang Bohu is clearly courageous and knowledgeable when he sees things, and it is indeed the most suitable for him to go. ”
Qin Jiaoyang was still skeptical about this, and later faintly thought that although Yang Zhi trusted Zhang Bohu very much, he was not unguarded: he sent Liu Er and Wen Si among the six joys to follow Zhang Bohu, not casually, but intentionally. These two people acted steadily, and they suffered a big loss under Zhang Bohu as soon as they met him, and they never liked him. Once Zhang Bohu had any thoughts that he shouldn't have. I'm afraid that my life is in danger!
Even if Zhang Bohu's trip went well, it would take at least five or six days to lead thousands of people back and forth to Penglai.
In the afternoon of the next day after Zhang Bohu left, Qin Jiaoyang was about to talk to Yang Zhi about hoarding goods, when Yang Zhi suddenly called Chang San. He instructed: "Brother Lao Chang went and called the two vendors who were basking in the sun at the corner of the street. ”
Qin Jiaoyang asked, "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Hehe, I just arrived in Penglai with my front foot, and they set up a stall at the corner of the street with their back foot, and I haven't seen these two people sell things seriously. Brother Qin, don't tell me, you think they are really two hawkers. ”
Qin Jiaoyang sneered: "Brother Yang is really careful. ”
After the two hawkers shrank their heads and shrank their heads and were called in, Yang Zhi didn't bother to talk nonsense with them: "Inform your prefect for me." Let's just say that in the next ten days and a half months, I am going to deploy troops to suppress bandits, let's go! ”
The two peddlers stared at each other for a moment, but did not speak, and kowtowed heavily and flew away.
However, something unexpected happened to Yang Zhiwan.
When it was dark, Chang San came to report: "Master Hou, there is a big man outside the door, and he wants you to go out to meet you." When I asked him who he was, he was impatient, and he said that you would know it as soon as you saw it. ”
Oh? Who is it this time? Yang Zhi went out in confusion and saw a tower-like man about thirty or forty years old standing outside the door. Yang Zhi's figure was already strong and tall, but this big man seemed to be half a head taller than him. The complexion is dark and full of beards, like the clay sculpture of King Kong in the temple, "leopard head and eyes". Wearing a half-new cyan gown, in this late autumn weather, he still showed his chest open, and the strong muscles and thick chest hair on his chest were not exposed at all.
While Yang Zhi was looking at Dahan, Dahan was also looking at him intently. Suddenly, he raised his head and laughed loudly with a throat like a broken gong: "Are you the legendary Yang Zhi Yang Feihu, the legendary No. 1 fierce general of Great Xia?" Interesting, interesting! I didn't expect it to be such a handsome young offspring! ”
Yang Zhi's heart was shocked, and he was stunned: "Your Excellency, is it Xiong Zhan?" ”
"Exactly." Xiong Zhan generously admitted: "I am Xiong Zhan who took a group of brothers to beg for a living at sea. ”
Yang Zhi said with a smile: "I have heard the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet it." I don't know what happened when Boss Xiong came to Penglai in person? ”
Xiong Zhan snorted: "When I was discussing with the little widow at sea that day, a group of brothers under my command couldn't bear to go to sea to fight the autumn breeze to relieve their boredom, but they bumped into your guy and were almost killed. It's okay to kill my brother, and even openly leave a word to show off, I'm here to ask you for an explanation today! ”
Yang Zhi sneered: "Looking for me to have an explanation?" I still want to ask you Boss Bear for an explanation! Your brothers will too. The ship also wants it, and the life also needs it, will you be willing to give it if you change it? Shouldn't they have killed? ”
Xiong Zhan said arrogantly: "If you are a robber, you don't kill people and rob goods, you let us drink the northwest wind?" I'm too lazy to ramble with you! I have come today to ask you to follow me to a quiet place. Good students fight! ”
Yang Zhi said coldly: "What if I don't go?" ”
"You'll definitely go." Xiong Zhan smiled with a hideous smile: "If you don't have some excellent skills, you definitely won't have a great reputation, how can I underestimate you?" Today, hundreds of my brothers are waiting for my news on the sea five miles away. If you don't go, or I haven't gone back by the time I'm done. Even if they don't want their lives, they will also set fire to it at night and slaughter this Penglai City! Would you like to give it a try? ”
Qin Jiaoyang and Liuxi, who heard the news, couldn't help but gasp. Xiong Zhan gathered the crowd to come without warning in advance, and would rather believe that it existed than believed that it did not. If it is really as he said, hundreds of pirates are desperate to burn and loot at night, which is tantamount to a catastrophe for Penglai County. The merchants and tycoons have hired a large number of guards or can protect themselves, and the slaughter will only be unarmed and unguarded innocent people!
But if Yang Zhi was coerced by him to go alone, he would undoubtedly be like a tiger entering the wolves. It will be more than lucky. There is a way that two hands are hard to defeat four hands, if Xiong Zhan brazenly orders him to be besieged and killed on the vast sea, can you still go to the Sea Dragon King to avenge his grievances?
It is rumored that Xiong Zhan was originally a strong general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he was really not a brave and unscrupulous man. For those who have personally experienced the tragic battles of thousands of troops and horses, there is absolutely no softness when it is time to be ruthless. Xiong Zhan grasped Yang Zhi's weakness very accurately, even if he risked the lives of hundreds of pirates to die together, he would also pull the people of Penglai City to accompany him to the funeral!
Yang Zhi waved his hand without hesitation and said, "What Boss Xiong said is true, then please lead the way!" ”
Qin Jiaoyang and Liuxi were shocked in unison: "Brother Yang! Master Hou! Never! It's a big deal to fight with this! ”
Yang Zhi smiled faintly: "Even if we can afford it, can we also afford this city full of old and young women and children?" Besides, I am going to fight, not to die. ”
Zhu Ling'er has been thinking nervously about the corner of her clothes. Seeing Yang Zhi striding away, he caught up and hugged him tightly from behind, crying: "Master Hou! You can't go! What do you do if you call me dead? ”
What do you do if I die? I didn't recruit you, did I provoke you? I'll die mine, won't you end your life? It turns out that this is the legendary dog blood!
"Are you all done?" Xiong Zhan said impatiently: "Little girl." It's not certain that your man won't die! What are you in a hurry to mourn for him now? ”
Yang Zhi broke free from Zhu Ling'er's embrace and said with a wry smile: "Miss Zhu, whether I die or not, we are just pure friends." I'm sorry, Boss Lao Xiong has been waiting for a long time, let's go. ”
Accompanied by the bear exhibition city to the seaside. There was a small boat waiting there for a long time. The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and after going out to sea and driving a few miles of waterway to the northeast, Yang Zhi couldn't help but be secretly frightened, Xiong Zhan, a madman, didn't say half a lie: there was really a large number of black and pressed ships on the sea in front of him, and at least forty of them were large and small!
At this time, it was already night, and the lights of dozens of ships illuminated the nearby sea as bright as day. Most of the hundreds of pirates were usually kicked three times when they saw a stone, not to mention that dozens of accomplices died at the hands of Yang Zhi a few days ago, so naturally they didn't have a good face for him. All of them glared angrily, scolded and scolded him uncleanly, and pointed at him.
Yang Zhi's face did not change and followed Xiong Zhan to board the largest ship, Xiong Zhan turned around and praised: "You didn't even bring a knife with your hands, this road has been so steadfast with me, you are really bold!" ”
"I'm afraid that I won't come, so why be afraid of you since I'm here?" Yang Zhi said with a calm smile: "Although it is a guest who is at your disposal, it is always your land, and I have two small things to trouble Boss Xiong." ”
Xiong Zhan frowned and said, "You can tell me about it." ”
"First, please say hello to your brothers, it's best not to do anything casually. I'm not very good-tempered, if any brother dies at my hands in a daze, isn't it too wrong? ”
"If you want to fight, I'll fight you. Where's their turn? Okay, I promised. ”
"Second, hehe, Fang Cai also left in a hurry. Didn't even have time to eat dinner. Please get some wine and rice, let me fill my stomach first. ”
Xiong Zhan laughed and said, "You are telling the truth! Good, good! Have you ever had dinner with me? Just eat some together in a while. lest I starve you, and let people say that I am invincible! ”
Yang Zhi gradually saw a little sign, although Xiong Zhan was not lacking in wit. But it is very rough and heroic. The two entered the cabin together, and not long after Xiong Zhan gave the order, a large table of wine and food was spread.
Xiong Zhan is no different from the legendary bandit and pirate leader, and he is also a master of drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls. took two sea bowls and poured two large bowls full of wine, and motioned to the little minions next to him to bring a bowl to Yang Zhi: "Fighting is fighting, drinking is drinking." I don't have anything else here, but enough wine and meat. Come on, drink! ”
As Yang Zhi said, if you are afraid, you will not come, and if you come, you will not be afraid. From the moment I met Xiong Zhan. The chest was only faintly warm, and there was no other violent reaction. Even if there is a possibility of turning your face and killing at any time, it is absolutely necessary to eat a full stomach and maintain sufficient physical strength.
Raised the wine bowl and didn't touch Xiong Zhan, didn't even look at him, took a small sip by himself, and ate it safely as if no one was around. Xiong Zhan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his face and said, "Do you think this is your own home?" Like a girl, I rarely invite someone to drink, is this looking down on me? ”
Yang Zhi said without showing weakness: "Boss Xiong, it's your business to invite someone to drink." What does it have to do with me? You and I have never known each other and never interacted, why should I give you face? If I hadn't threatened the lives of the people of Penglai today, how could I have been on your thief ship? How can you make me look down on you? Being able to drink at the same table with you is already enough to look up to you. ”
"You?!" Yang Zhi is eloquent and has few opponents. This Xiong Zhan seemed to be clumsy, drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp, and said angrily: "I respect you for being a hero to treat each other politely, don't you don't know what to do!" ”
Yang Zhi smiled: "Didn't you come to me to vent your anger because I killed dozens of your brothers?" There is only evil, not good. The reason why you dare to be in front of me is five or six. Isn't it just that this is your bow? Isn't it just that you have hundreds of people? Do you think I'm scared of too many people? If you want to fight or kill, whatever you want, I will accompany you at any time! ”
Eleven out of ten wicked people are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, Yang Zhi can naturally be classified as a villain, excellent psychological quality and lazy smile all the time, has become the best disguise for him to hide a knife in his smile. In front of a person like Xiong Zhan, he can't be careless, and he can't lose the slightest bit.
"Humph! I'm too lazy to tell you! Xiong Zhan was choked by his words with a gun and a stick, how to say that Yang Zhi was also a famous number one person in his eyes, so he turned his face and was afraid of the reputation of "bullying less with more", so he simply stopped talking, and only took the wine one after another to get angry.
Yang Zhi saw that he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he could still hold back his anger and not get mad, and while secretly laughing, he couldn't help but feel that the tower-like man in front of him was a little cute.
After eating and drinking enough honestly and unceremoniously, he picked his teeth and greeted the little minion on the side: "What are you still doing stupidly?" Didn't you see me finished? Hurry up and make a pot of tea! If you don't understand the rules of hospitality, aren't you afraid of embarrassing your boss? ”
Xiong Zhan frowned when he heard this, and waved at the little minion again and again: "Go, go!" Go make him a pot of tea! ”
The pirates were dumbfounded: would you consider this a teahouse or a hotel? Boss Xiong put on such a big battle, and he dared to get an uncle!
Yang Zhi secretly noticed that Xiong Zhan's appetite was terrifying. A small jar of wine has five catties, only one bowl was poured out and given to Yang Zhi, and the rest drank a drop without a single drop, as if he was not drunk. That's not all, after killing a whole fat chicken, it competes with a large pot of cooked meat.
Yang Zhi leisurely got up and paced to the window of the ship to see that the entire fleet had been driving in a mighty northeast direction, and it was about twenty miles away from Penglai. Turning around and smiling, "Boss Xiong, there is still a small matter to trouble you tonight." ”
Xiong Zhan had already started to have a little headache, and stopped asking "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I've eaten tea and drunk this meal, and it's not too early, if you're not going to fight with me tonight, you should arrange a cabin for me to sleep, right?"
“…… Flying Tiger Hou, aren't you really worried? Aren't you afraid that I'll hack you? ”
"If you want my life at this time, just call hundreds of people on your shoulders. Why bother? If you really want to hack me, whether I sleep or not, isn't it all the same black? In that case, why don't I sleep? Didn't you blink all night to prevent you from getting dark? Sick me? ”
Xiong Zhan rolled his eyes and yelled, "Someone! Take this guy to sleep! ”
Yang Zhi said so. It's just a right to take the opportunity to recuperate, in fact, it is impossible to really sleep soundly. About three hours after the fleet left Penglai, it dropped anchor and docked. After the ship stopped, no one came to disturb him.
Yang Zhi had already memorized several nautical charts drawn by Zhang Bohu, and estimated them according to the direction and voyage. It should be Dazhushan Island in the Yellow Sea, which must be the lair of Xiong Zhan's group of pirates at sea. Judging from the nautical chart, Zhushan Island is not far from the Long Island Islands, and it is very convenient to enter and exit the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. It is a necessary place to travel by sea to and from Northern Yan, Great Xia, Southern Tang and to the Eastern Ocean, and the strategic location is very important. Xiong Zhan was originally a former general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he still had some strategic vision to occupy this place, and he didn't dare to underestimate him in his heart.
Recalling what Xiong Zhan did from the beginning of the meeting, Yang Zhi was not only palpitating, but also a little funny, but also very puzzled. He gathered such a large team like a fierce man. did not hesitate to put on a posture of slaughtering the city with the same fate, and after coercing Yang Zhi onto the ship, he waited for him with delicious food and drink. The temptation to speak disrespectfully to Yang Zhi is also repeatedly forbearing, what does he want to do? Yang Zhi jokingly popped up a ridiculous idea: He wouldn't want to invite me in, would he?
Early the next morning, a little minion came to wake Yang Zhi up angrily, saying that Boss Xiong was invited. If it comes, it will be safe. After Yang Zhi washed up slowly, he followed the little minion to get off the boat and land.
After walking about two or three miles on the island, it suddenly became clear that in front of a stone mountain was a large open flat land. In the distance, I saw a cave at the foot of the mountain. There are dozens of stone houses of all sizes built next to the mountain. There were two things in front of the cave, one was a weapon rack with all kinds of weapons, and the other was a sumptuous banquet, where Xiong Zhan was already waiting for the golden sword.
Yang Zhigang sat down. Xiong Zhan smiled and said, "Yang Zhi, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I almost fell for you." With your courage to fight alone and not change your face, and your calm and calm attitude in the face of danger, you will not be in vain as the first fierce general of Great Xia. So before you and I go to war today, I must invite you to drink! ”
Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "Boss Xiong." Thank you for thinking so highly of me. This is what you said yesterday about a quiet place? You said it earlier! Where can't we fight on land? ”
Xiong Zhan smiled disapprerovingly: "Are you a fool to me Xiong Zhan?" It is rumored that you are not only brave and invincible, but also cunning and wise. One is that I believe you on land, and the other is that there are many people in the world who sell their reputations, and the rumors are inevitably untrue, if you don't try you, how do you know if you are qualified to fight with me? ”
“…… Did you go to great lengths to get me here, just to fight me? ”
Xiong Zhan said proudly: "Not bad! Let's be honest, even if you don't go to Penglai, I already have the heart to fight for you. Great Xia has a hatred for me to destroy the country, you are the first fierce general of Great Xia, defeating you is like defeating Great Xia! ”
Yang Zhi suddenly realized: This old man couldn't let go of the so-called hatred of destroying the country, and regarded himself as a tool for obscenity! But even if you can defeat me, Daxia won't even lose a single hair! Crazy, this guy is definitely a madman.
Crying and laughing, he said: "Brother, my name is falsely rumored by the world, and I can't count it." In troubled times, it is common for big fish to eat small fish, so why can't you think so? ”
Xiong Zhan suddenly got up and glared: "Are you fighting or not?" ”
"Hit! It's all at this point, can I still say I won't fight? ”
Xiong Zhan smiled at this time, and filled the wine bowl in front of him: "That's easy to do." Later in the war, life and death are unpredictable, and I don't know if we will have a chance to drink. I'm a rough guy and can't speak. Let's put it this way, if it's a hero, I respect it. Anyway, I'll give you a bowl first! Drink it or not! ”
Yang Zhi couldn't help but be infected by his heroism, and poured a bowl full: "I'll drink this wine!" ”
The two of them lifted the bowl and touched it heavily, both of them raised their heads happily and dried it, and the bottom of the bowl lit up each other, laughing together.
Xiong Zhan filled the wine bowls of the two of them again, and saluted: "I'd rather be a fucking robber at sea than a butcher who works for people!" You are famous all over the world because of the bloody battle in the desert, not because you stepped on the white bones of my Chinese race, and this section is also worthy of my salute to you! ”
This man has such insight, who dares to say that he is not a true hero? Yang Zhi couldn't help but be in awe: "Cheers to you to be a robber!" ”
After the two of them raised their heads and took a sip again, Yang Zhi poured the wine again, raised the bowl and saluted: "Brother, I respect you for this bowl!" If nothing else, I respect you for being a good man! ”
After pouring it down, he smashed the wine bowl to the ground with the strength of the wine, took a single knife from the weapon rack, and said with a proud smile: "I'm not good at drinking, this wine can't be drunk, otherwise we won't be able to fight!" I will do my best, and please don't show mercy to Brother Xiong! Come on! ”
"Hahahaha! I'm getting more and more interested in you! Xiong Zhan's martial arts seemed to be the same as Geng Chao's fierce journey, and he took a ghost head knife weighing at least more than 30 catties in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you are defeated by my hands, I will fulfill my wish and cut off your head to commemorate my brother!" ”
Turning around, he shouted to his subordinates: "If I am defeated by the hands of the Flying Tiger Marquis, I will kill him or let him dispose of it!" You must not embarrass him! ”
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly swung his knife and slashed at Yang Zhi! In order to test his strength, Yang Zhi took a knife intently, not wanting to make a hole in the sparks in his hand, and was almost shocked to get out of his hand! This manpower is far above Geng Chao!
At the moment, he did not dare to make a hard encounter, but still adopted the tactics of dodging and fighting and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. Unexpectedly, Xiong Zhan's ghost head knife was both powerful and fast. What made Yang Zhi secretly bitter was that the two fought for an hour, and in addition to being forced to take dozens of knives, he failed to take advantage of the gap to get a knife! What's even more incredible is that Xiong Zhan has not only had no flaws so far, but his movements are still not sluggish at all, and his strength is still endless!
When you encounter such a hard corner, even if you have a belly full of ghost ideas, you can't use it, and you don't have the time to think about it. If you don't want to die, you can only go all out to fight hard! Yang Zhi has never encountered such a bitter battle since he conquered the desert! Is this guy still human or not?
The two of them fought for two hours, Xiong Zhan, like Yang Zhi, had extremely rich combat experience, responded very quickly, and did not have a little defeat from beginning to end. Yang Zhi has always been at a disadvantage, but he is struggling to support with his agile body and physical strength, patiently waiting for the opportunity.
"Stop!" Xiong Zhan suddenly took the initiative to jump backwards, took off his clothes and wiped his sweat, and shouted angrily: "It's the first time that Lao Tzu has fought with someone for so long, and he doesn't know whether he wins or loses!" Why do you keep dodging and not returning the knife? This one really didn't fight well! ”
Yang Zhi also stripped off his sweat-soaked clothes, the golden dragon on his chest was already golden, and said with a bitter face: "Brother, do you think I don't want to fight back?" You've got to have to come back, right? You didn't have a good time, but am I injured or defeated now? Who says you can't fight like this? ”
“…… That's just as well. Xiong Zhan was stunned for a moment, and looked up to see that it was almost noon. threw away the ghost head knife, poured a bowl of wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Truce for half an hour, and eat some wine and rice before continuing to fight!" Brother, it seems that I have taken advantage of you in the blade today, you can change the knife later! ”
Yang Zhi subconsciously raised the knife to take a look: the single knife in his hand can't be called a knife, it has completely become a saw!
casually threw the broken knife aside, but didn't drink at the table, only took a bowl of tea and rinsed his mouth, and shouted in his heart: The strong are more powerful, I didn't expect Xiong Zhan to be such an inexhaustible monster! What can we do to defeat him? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
