In the northwest direction of Xin'an, the area of Kunshan Mountain, Mianmian Mountain, on a certain mountain, there is a village, called Tiger Head.

The number of Hutou Village is only three or five hundred, and there is a leader named Zhang Sheng. A few days ago, Zhang Sheng took a group of men and horses to the county seat, wanting to ambush Zhang Baiqi in Tianwangzhai, but he was finally defeated and was beaten back like a lost dog. For this matter, he was angry, and when he came back, he scolded Zhang Bai for riding a dog for three days, and even the five royal daughters vented his anger that night, and then his anger gradually subsided, and this matter seems to have passed.

However, on this very day-

"Report ~~~ Boss Zhang! At the foot of the mountain, there is a group of more than a dozen horsemen and horses passing through my tiger head village......"

"Bastard!" Zhang Sheng hugged the wine jar, patted the wooden case, and shouted: "Is it the first day to come, I don't know that my tiger head village has the reputation of 'goose plucking', not to mention a dozen rides, it is his mother's ride, and I can't let him go!" Hmph, what are you going to do, do you want me to teach you? Well? Why don't you go quickly, do you have to take action from the big boss himself with these dozen horsemen? ”

"Yes Yes ......"

The little minion who sent the message hurriedly took three steps back and said, "No, don't dare!" Leader Zhang, there is a person under the mountain who claims to have met with the leader you were fortunate to meet in Xin'an City, he came here this time, he came to worship the mountain, this is the mountain worship post! ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Sheng's head shook and his brows furrowed: "Xin'an City? Have you ever seen the boss of Ben? Why can't this big boss remember? Not! Grab the post first! ”

Exhibit and watch...... No matter how you look at it, it's all sesame mung beans, and you can't recognize a bird word. The little minion next to him looked at the leader with a gong-sized eye, and he was obviously taken down, how could he recognize it? The little minion couldn't help laughing, and was almost about to laugh out loud, but Zhang Sheng was impatient, threw away the 'post', and shouted: "Read it to the leader!" ”

"Yes!"

The little minion took the 'post', and just then read the post: "Martial Arts Zhonglang General, Bohai Taishou, Wuwei Chen Nuo, worship Your Excellency Zhang Sheng, the leader of Hutou Village!" ”

“…… Martial arts general, Bohai Taishou ...... Wuwei ...... Chen Nuo?! ”

Zhang Sheng chewed the name of 'Chen Nuo' carefully, and suddenly his eyes were together, and he clapped the case and shouted: "Bastard! You kid dare to entertain Lao Tzu! "In the first battle of Yanshi, Chen Nuo defeated Xiliang Zhang Ji and other three-way people, and also annihilated it with one blow, Chen Nuo's name spread all over the Kanto region overnight, and he Zhang Shengyan did not know the truth. However, who is Chen Nuo, a dignified Hebei general, with more than 10,000 subordinates and a promising future, how could he run to this place where birds don't, and also cast a 'mountain worship post'? Speaking of which, who would believe that this is not an obvious pastime, and no wonder Zhang Sheng is so angry.

"But...... It's true, if you don't believe it, please see. ”

Seeing Zhang Sheng's anger, the little minion trembled with fright, and was so aggrieved that he seemed to be about to cry. He was afraid that Zhang Sheng would not believe it, so he hurriedly presented the 'mountain worship post' with both hands and handed it to Zhang Sheng. That Zhang Sheng's eyes widened, and when he saw the word 'Chen Nuo', he was shocked, stretched out his hand and snapped, and snatched the 'mountain worship post'. He took the bamboo slip, carefully looked at the handwriting engraved on the bamboo slip, and then muttered and read it silently, thinking carefully in his mind, and suddenly trembled all over, and half of the wine was gone.

He put the wine jar down and shouted, "My God, Chen ...... Chen Nuo, this kid is not good to stay in Yanshi, why did he suddenly run to the top of the mountain? He, does he also want to rob me of this little mountain, and he can't be the king? ”

'Baishan Ti' was like a hot potato, he threw it on the wooden table, and he stood up at the same time, and the whole person was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, and he had no idea at all. Seeing that Zhang Sheng kept turning, he was afraid that he was crazy, so he quickly reminded: "Head...... Chief, will we take this man's mountain worship post, or will we not accept it? Also, it's not a small mouth, thinking that his group is only a dozen horses, why are you afraid of him, leader? ”

Zhang Sheng stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat and shouted, "Fart!" What do you know, there are only a dozen people under the mountain, who knows if there are tens of thousands of horses outside the mountain? No way...... This person cannot be offended! When Zhang Sheng said this, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, first invite him to the cottage, as for his purpose...... It's not too late to understand. What's more, as long as they are all invited to the stockade, they are surrounded by his people, even if he brings tens of thousands of horses, he can't save the fire from far water, and he is afraid that he will turn the sky upside down!

Zhang Sheng thought about this clearly, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Quickly invite General Chen Nuo and his party to go up the mountain......"

The little minion made a promise, and was about to turn around, when he was called back by Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng thought about it before and after, and felt that Chen Nuo was not easy to offend, so he should personally go down the mountain to greet him, so he could give him face, and he would be able to talk in the future. He was preparing to go down the mountain, and under the mountain, Chen Nuo and his party had been waiting for a while.

Behind Chen Nuo, Zhu Rong Qingyi glanced impatiently at the Hutou Village in front of him, there were many archers in front of the gate who put their arrows on the strings as if they were facing a great enemy, ready to pull the bow and pull the strings at any time, while those Pu Dao hands were walking back and forth, and their eyes were not good.

"Brother Chen......"

It is not difficult to hear from Zhu Rong Qingyi's tone that for this trip, she Zhu Rong Qingyi is one hundred and twenty worried.

It is no wonder that Chen Nuo did take a great risk when he came.

Just a few days ago, under Milai's calculations, Chen Nuo was almost pulled down by her crotch. Cultivated's miraculous skills. And that night, in the inn in that town, he was teased by her almost to the point where he was about to launch. However, there are many good things, and at this juncture, Zhang Bai suddenly visited Zhuo Gouwa in the middle of the night and was intercepted by Zhu Rong Qingyi. At this time, of course, Chen Nuo couldn't be nostalgic for the stunner in his arms, crawled out of the futon, and met Zhuo Gouwa.

At that time, Zhuo Gouwa recognized Chen Nuolai, and immediately bowed down and asked Chen Nuo for help. Chen Nuo heard it at the time, and probably guessed that something had happened to Tianwangzhai, and Zhang Baiqi failed to control Tianwangzhai smoothly. Things were just as Chen Nuo expected, and sure enough, Zhang Baiqi's trip did suffer a setback. Originally, if Zhang Baiqi dealt with it simply as a king, probably Zhang Baiqi was captured, and there was no need to take this matter to heart, but-

However, at this juncture, something suddenly happened. After saying goodbye to Chen Nuo, the white horse quickly whipped up, worked day and night, and rushed back to Tianwangzhai overnight. At that time, Wang Gu led other horses to meet Zhang Baiqi on the mountain, and set up a banquet to personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for him. Originally, before entering the Tianwang Village, Zhang Baiqi still thought that it was impossible for Wang Gu to let him take over Tianwang Village smoothly, and there must be some difficulties, where did he think that Wang Gu was so polite, so he was naturally vigilant. However, the king hid a butcher's knife under his smiling face, and when he saw Zhang Baiqi, he congratulated him with the affairs of the Heavenly King's Village, and directly paralyzed Zhang Baiqi. Zhang Bai rode under the sugar-coated cannonball of the king's death, and finally fell into the king's dadang, which was designed by him.

And a 'Hongmen Banquet', the king used the name of smashing the cup, hidden the armor soldiers, and almost killed the subordinates led by Zhang Baiqi. Originally, the king was going to chop Zhang Baiqi with his hand, but Zhang Baiqi was famous in the village, and he didn't dare to kill him for a while, for fear of touching the root, so he could only be imprisoned first. Of course, Zhuo Gouwa was fortunate to escape a section in this matter, he mixed into the secret prison, secretly bought off the detainees, met Zhang Baiqi, and asked about his future plans.

At this time, Zhang Baiqi was naturally unwilling and wanted revenge. He had already thought carefully about it after he was detained at that time, and perhaps, only Chen Nuo could help him in the current situation. Although he and Chen Nuo are not very familiar with each other, they have a common hardship in Xin'an City, and he believes that with Chen Nuo's ability, it will not be difficult to do this. At that time, he thought that Chen Nuo and his party were going west to Chang'an, so he asked Zhuo Gouwa to set off overnight, and he must stop Chen Nuo on the way west. And Zhuo Gouwa came out alone, and she also calculated the distance of Chen Nuo and others, and stayed in the town before Chen Nuo and his party, waiting for the news of Chen Nuo and others. During the day that day, when Chen Nuo and his entourage entered the town, he inquired about Chen Nuo and others. It's just that he doesn't dare to see each other during the day, for fear that he will be known by the eyes of the king of Tianwang Zhai, so he deliberately waited until the evening to come out. It's just that as soon as he came out, he was discovered by Zhurong Qingyi, and almost died under the silver chain of Zhurong Qingyi.

At that time, Chen Nuo listened to Zhuo Gouwa talk about the things before and after, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there were quite doubts in it. Come to think of it, since Zhang Baiqi is sure that he will be able to take over Tianwangzhai smoothly before this trip, then he must also know the power of the king, and he must have overpowered him in terms of power. Since the power of the king is not as strong as his Zhang Baiqi, the king dares to do such a dangerous thing, which is too bold. Assuming that if the king did not have a certain support, and his 'Hongmen Banquet' was not set up, he was afraid that if he did not do well, he would be made into a 'guest invasion of the master' by the other party, and then he would not be asking for hardship?

Chen Nuo had this doubt, and Zhuo Gouwa explained to him before and after. It turns out that if only such a little force as the king wants to overthrow Zhang Baiqi with a 'Hongmen Banquet', it is indeed a fantasy. However, the reason why Wang Gu dared to take the risk of doing such a dangerous act was not because he was overwhelmed, it was because he had colluded with another group of forces before, and with this group of forces behind him, Wang Gu naturally became bolder.

Of course, this other group of forces is not easy to say, he is Niu Fu, the general of Xiliang who is stationed in Shaanxi County. Niu Fu, as a Zhonglang general, controlled the tens of thousands of horses in Shaanxi County, and his power was naturally not to be underestimated. And if he wants to support a force for his own use, it is naturally not difficult. At that time, he Niu Fu sent his henchman Hu Chi'er as an 'envoy', and brought thousands of men and horses to be stationed near the left side of Tianwang Village to support the king, and it is no wonder that the king dared to set up this 'Hongmen Banquet' to seize power for himself.

Chen Nuo heard Zhuo Gouwa say this at that time, and he understood. Come to think of it, although this Tianwangzhai is composed of a group of robbers, he has tens of thousands of people and horses, and it seems to have formed a force that cannot be underestimated, and it also has a deep influence in the Hongnong area. And in this case, Niu Fu, who was on the same land as him, since he was an official soldier, could only use it when he knew that it could not be destroyed. Of course, if he can't successfully control Tianwangzhai, then he has to change someone who can support him and send him to the throne of the big boss of Tianwangzhai. In this way, it is in his interest. Probably, Niu Fu felt that Zhang Bai was not easy to control, so he chose to support Wang Gu and wanted to support Wang Gu, a puppet, to come to power.

Thinking about this clearly, the next thing Chen Nuo could do was of course to try his best to rescue Zhang Baiqi.

It's just that how easy is it to rescue Zhang Baiqi? Not to mention that he only has more than a dozen horsemen around him at the moment, it is an order to recruit a large army from Yanshi to come to Guanzhong and directly besiege the Wang's former department, but I am afraid that it may not be effective. Regardless of the hardships of this journey, whether the troops have experience in mountain warfare, or even eliminate the difficulties in transporting grain and grass from a long distance, and just talk about the death of the king, then, what should we do next? But don't forget, in this matter, behind Wang Gu is standing resolutely Xiliang's Niu Fu and others. Under such circumstances, do you want him to fight with Niu Fu's tens of thousands of Xiliang men and horses with a tired lonely army? If he really comes to this point, I am afraid that even if Chen Nuo adds all the capital, he may not be able to get any benefits.

Based on the above analysis, Chen Nuo deeply understands that using Yanshi is definitely the next step. What's more, now it is difficult to save the fire from far away, and when the army is mobilized, I am afraid that Wang Gu has completely controlled Tianwang Village with the help of Hu Chi'er, and then Zhang Baiqi will lose its due role, and of course they will not keep him alive. Since this road is impassable, then it can only be a different way.

But what about the other way? Could it be that he did a chivalrous thing, took his subordinates into the Tianwang Village at night, raised his sword to find the king's reason, and asked him to take out his head? This kind of thing...... Probably only a master like Zhu Rong Hongyi dares to do it. However, when it comes to Zhu Rong's red clothes running rampant between Yanshi and Li Dao's camp, it was not a fluke. You must know that Zhu Rong Hongyi rampaged in Li Dao's camp, that is because she was originally Li Dao's subordinate, although she has been away for several years, she should be very clear about her eyeliner arrangement in the camp, and she can naturally come and go freely. Come to think of it, it was when he entered Zhang Ji's camp to catch Hu Che'er, and it was also because Li Ji and Zhang Ji were both from Xiliang, and the method of setting up the camp was also similar, and it was difficult for her. It was she who entered the Yanshi at night, probably because of the help of her sister Zhu Rong Qingyi, so that she knew about the defense in his city in advance, otherwise how could she come and go like a swallow, then she would not be a god? Of course, having said so much, it is nothing more than saying that there is no way to do this.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then there's no other way? Do you want to watch Zhang Bai ride to death?

Of course Chen Nuo didn't agree, not to mention the 'value' that could be obtained by rescuing Zhang Baiqi, just saying that in the Xin'ancheng wine shop that day, he and Zhang Baiqi drank heavily and joined forces to repel Zhang Sheng, which was enough to make his two strangers friends. Moreover, in Chen Nuo's heart, he does regard Zhang Baiqi as a friend.

If a friend is in trouble, how can he not save him?

It's just that in terms of how to rescue Zhang Baiqi, Chen Nuo really wasted his head. He thought about it before and after, in addition to knowing Zhang Baiqi, he Hongnong and his party were only Zhang Sheng. It's just that this white horse is now in trouble, and it is a party, so it is naturally excluded. And Zhang Sheng, because he helped Zhang Baiqi beat him up, as if he should still be jealous of him, and he took over the feud with him. Come to think of it, looking for the enemy's help in Zhang Bai's riding matter, it's not that you can't find yourself unhappy!

However, not counting Zhang Bai's ride, the only person he can get acquainted with is this Zhang Sheng, does he really want to ask Zhang Sheng for help in this matter? It was he who said that he listened to Zhu Rong Qingyi at the time, and Zhu Rong Qingyi also said that his head was burned, and he deliberately put his hand on his forehead, and asked him worriedly: "Chen ...... Brother Chen, aren't you sick and haven't taken medicine? ”

“……”

Regarding the 'bold' words that this girl said, Chen Nuo said that he was unscrupulous, and he laughed three times. After three sounds, Chen Nuo made a decision and decided to go to Zhang Sheng for help. And once Chen Nuo made this decision, he took his comrades and horses all the way back to Xin'an. Of course, there is no need to enter Xin'an City, and they immediately rushed to Hutou Village, and in order to show 'grandeur', Chen Nuo also deliberately asked people to stab 'business cards' and vote for mountain worship.

It's just that there was no movement for a long time when the 'Baishan Post' was thrown, and Zhu Rong Qingyi suggested to Chen Nuo with her keen sixth sense: "Brother Chen, I think it's better for us to leave here quickly, and even if he Zhang Sheng comes out to meet Brother Chen, there may not be any results." Brother Chen, don't listen, think Brother Chen, you treat him with the heart of a gentleman, and you are willing to turn enemies into friends with him, but you may not know who Zhang Sheng is, Brother Chen. If he is willing to listen to persuasion, it is fine, if his villainous heart does not die, he will be revenged, and then he is afraid that he will be in the tiger's den, and it will be difficult to escape. ”

Chen Nuo smiled and nodded: "What you said in Tsing Yi is not unreasonable, I won't tell you, I used to have this idea." It's just that now, if I don't believe Zhang Sheng, who else can I believe? Do you want me to ignore Zhang Baiqi? No way! Of course, the reason why I finally decided to do this, in addition to having no other way to choose, the most important thing is that I can understand what Zhang Sheng wants in his heart. ”

"What does he want? What does he want? ”

Zhu Rong Qingyi was very curious, thinking that Brother Chen Nuo and Zhang Sheng had only met once, and they still met like an 'enemy', how much could he know about him? Could it be that on this side, Chen Nuo can know what he wants in his heart?

In the blink of an eye, what she saw was Chen Nuo's serene and confident face, and she didn't realize that her heart moved. Could it be that Brother Chen is really sure?

Chen Nuo didn't answer her directly, just smiled and said abruptly: "He's here!" ”

Zhang Sheng came, and he brought more than a dozen heroes in Dazhai to come.

"Haha, Leader Zhang, don't come unharmed?"

"Don't come ......"

Zhang Sheng also wanted to say a kind word in passing, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. At this time, he raised his eyes to take a closer look at Chen Nuo, his body was shocked, and he almost fell. He pointed his finger at Chen Nuo, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Little thief! It's you! ”
