Chapter 395: All the Way Forward

Cheng Hao's character is a contradiction, a common contradiction for disciples of a famous sect, in fact, it is simply a Song Qingshu, who has received elite education since he was a child, and will also promote good and eliminate evil as the central idea of his life, and he is a very good person in a broad sense, but the biggest shortcoming of this kind of person, or weakness, is that he can't accept failure, because he has been smooth sailing since he was a child, and the sect and his own ability are added together, resulting in them rarely being frustrated. It is impossible for them to accept the slightest disappointment, let alone be struck head-on by a strong force, or even shake the solid self-confidence they have built up over the years.

In the Heaven and Dragon Slayer, Song Qingshu became the betrayer who killed his uncle later after being constantly hit by Zhang Wuji and reality, and even after the most lucrative time, he didn't fully wake up, and it was quite not worth it to solve, dying for a woman who didn't love him at all, of course, he felt that it was worth it, but from the perspective of his father and sect who had raised him for many years, this was definitely a very worthless thing, and it was also something worthy of the vigilance of all young people in the rivers and lakes, almost a typical negative teaching material.

Now this Cheng Hao is also a Wudang faction, the template seems to be similar to Song Qingshu, also because of women, but also by the love enemy is also hit hard, and this love enemy is more terrifying than Zhang Wuji, Zhang Wuji is at most the leader of the martial arts faction, Song Qing has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even a city of court generals, a glamorous character who can stand in the sun and accept people's reverence, and he Cheng Hao is still too far behind Song Qingshu, he is still the first disciple of the three generations of Wudang, but he is just a disciple of unknown generations, at most, he can only be regarded as an elite disciple, compared to Song Qing, there is no comparison at all, and he can't expect to take revenge.

In fact, Cheng Hao himself knows this very well. Therefore, after leaving Xuzhou, he looked extremely depressed, almost the whole person was wasted, and it was not easy to find some soul, but he felt confused about where he would go in the future, so he could only continue to walk all the way to the west, walking aimlessly, until they arrived in Xiayi, and saw that the officers and soldiers were chasing the homeless, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time in Cheng Hao's chest broke out again. Without hesitation, he drew his sword, and roared like a madman at those officers and soldiers.

Seeing Cheng Hao do it, the two companions naturally did not show weakness, although they had no confidence at all in front of Song Qing, but they were all knights who had been famous for a long time, it was impossible to say that there was no fire, but this kind of fire was completely suppressed in front of Song Qing, and it was very hard to suppress, but they didn't dare to break out when they were in Xuzhou. Now that I finally saw the kind of officers and soldiers in my impression, and the kind of officers and soldiers who could be killed by them at will, my emotions were completely released as a matter of course.

Fifty or sixty displaced people were pursued, and five officers and soldiers pursued them. There are also more than a dozen servants, and this force is no problem to deal with the old, weak, women and children, but it is not enough to deal with three knights with good martial arts, especially these three knights are still angry. The combat effectiveness has obviously soared, and in a short time, the five officers and soldiers have been slaughtered. Five of the dozen or so officials also died, and the rest immediately turned around and fled when they saw that the situation was not good, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only those homeless people still standing in place, Cheng Hao didn't have the heart to continue the pursuit, wiped the blood on the sword on the clothes of the dead officers and soldiers in front of him, and asked those homeless people at the same time: "Which of you is the leader?" ”

"The villain is, the villain is!" A man in his thirties walked out, although he also looked yellow and thin, but he was strong among these homeless people, and only he and a few other young people in the whole team had weapons, a few worn-out waist knives, and they could barely be regarded as force that could be relied on, but when they encountered heavily armed officers and soldiers and servants, they still had no ability to resist, and could only flee aimlessly with these old and weak women and children, if they didn't happen to meet Cheng Hao and others, I was afraid that these people would die in the hands of officers and soldiers. The man obviously realized this, and after coming over, he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing and saying, "The villain thanks the three heroes for saving their lives!" ”

"No thanks, it is my life's wish to draw a knife to help when the road is uneven!" Cheng Hao said this with a serious face, he is trying to regain his former self-confidence in this way, and it seems that the effect is not bad at present, which makes him feel better, and he is also interested in taking the initiative to do something else, to see that this group of homeless people is indeed the most miserable kind, so he asked the man: "Why did Henan start chasing and killing homeless people, isn't it only Shaanxi that does that, why are they chasing you?" ”

"This villain can't say it well, it seems to be because of what kind of king is it." The man hesitated for a moment, but finally confirmed: "Yes, it's King Chuang, it is said that King Chuang from Shaanxi has arrived in Shanxi, and then he is about to come to Henan from Shanxi, I am afraid that we homeless people will go to follow King Chuang, so the government will knife us!" ”

"King Chuang? What is King Chuang? Cheng Hao has always been in the south of the Yangtze River in the past, and the time when he came to the north is not long ago, so he is not very clear about the king who has just become famous in the past two years, and when his eyes swept to the other two companions, they also shook their heads in ignorance, indicating that they didn't know about this person at all.

But the man's eyes lit up and said: "King Chuang is from Shaanxi, it seems to be called Gao Yingxiang, in the past, he was also born in poverty, selling horses to others, and then he couldn't survive, so he brought a group of people to uncover the pole and fight with the officers and soldiers in Yanqing Mansion, and now I heard that it is almost to Henan, and the government is very afraid, not only afraid that King Chuang will come and kill them, but also afraid that our people will vote for King Chuang, so these days we are driven to Xuzhou and Fengxiang Mansion, and those who don't go out of Lu will be killed directly!" ”

If it was usual, I heard that the officers and soldiers were so harmful to the people, Cheng Hao had to scold a few words angrily, but today is a special case, because King Chuang is very interested in him, to be precise, what King Chuang did made him very interested, and it was the same to be replaced by someone to do it, the key people did a real rebellion, which was much stronger than other such people in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help but think of the gap between himself and Song Qing, in addition to the fact that his martial arts were not as good as others, many other places were not as good as Song Qing.

And the biggest difference between the two seems to be the position of power, Song Qing is a general of the imperial court, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Let him, a hero of the rivers and lakes, have no confidence at all in the face of others, he just wants to become a big man like Song Qing, it seems that he is a little late at this age, even if he immediately joins the army at this time, how many years he has to wait to be a general, don't look at Song Qing became a big official at a young age, it was all fought with Hou Jin, even if Cheng Hao didn't like Song Qing, he had to admire others.

At the same time, he also knew very well that Song Qing could get mixed up to this day. In addition to fighting bloodily, there are also all kinds of luck, the Ming army has been fighting with Houjin for many years, and I don't know how many people have been killed by Song Qingguan, Liu Dadao not only has a higher official position, but also has no worse ability than Song Qing, and was killed on the battlefield by others, so this kind of thing often depends on fate, and Song Qing has this kind of fate. He Cheng Hao may not be able to have this kind of good life, maybe he will be killed on the battlefield at any time, and no one may be restrained even in the corpse capital.

But at this time, he saw another way, which was what the man called King Chuang. If you're not wrong, you're a real rebel, and you're not weak at the moment, but judging from the fact that you've never heard of the other party's name. It shouldn't be a few years since the incident, if he takes refuge in the past at this time, with his good martial arts. Coupled with the fact that he was born in a famous family, he should be able to get a good status, but if he can bring a group of knights and tens of thousands of homeless people over, I am afraid that the position will be higher.

Thinking about this section, Cheng Hao's eyes suddenly brightened, and the depression in his chest gradually dissipated, he suddenly knew where his troubles were in the past few days, and he also knew how to solve these problems, he took a step forward, and asked the man very solemnly: "If I can take you to find King Chuang, are you willing to follow me?" There are not only two brothers with me, but there are quite a few people on the west side, and I can call them all over, and then we will go to the north to find King Chuang! ”

"No problem, I'm willing to follow the hero, we don't have a home anyway, and following the hero is also a way out!" The man was obviously very open-minded, and then turned his head and shouted to the homeless people behind him: "Everyone listens to the truth, this hero is going to take us to find King Chuang, I, Liu Cheng, have decided to follow the hero, if any of you are willing to follow together, then continue to walk together, if there is anyone who is unwilling to follow, I will not stop you, you can leave now, I can send you another section!" ”

No one wants to leave, although these people are not all old acquaintances from the past, but in this year that gradually began to mess up, everyone can get together in the escape from the famine or even escape from their lives, that is the fate of the last life, Liu Cheng and a few other strong people are the escort team of the entire team, and now with the addition of those three extraordinary heroes, of course everyone will not give up following this kind of team, as for going to find King Chuang or something, it has nothing to do with them, now it is good to live in this world, where to find someone, They don't really care, the only thing they care about is what they have to eat tomorrow, how to continue to live and survive this world.

That night, the other two companions went all the way to the west, their task was to get the original lost team back, of course, this lost team was not Li Jing'er and their team, but the group of people who followed Cheng Hao later, there were about dozens of high-rollers, and more than 2,000 homeless, although there were a lot of homeless, they would be attacked or pursued by the government, and they might even become relatively large targets, but Cheng Hao still decided to bring more people, because only in this way would he have a status on the side of King Chuang, He didn't care much about this originally, and thought that the life of a lone ranger was very good, but after being stimulated by Song Qing's side, he had realized the importance of having a large number of people.

Fortunately, the team was not very far from them, after Cheng Hao went to Xuzhou, the temporary leader of the team did not know where to go, so he also began to move slowly in the direction of Xuzhou, and now it is also near Xiayi, but in the west, the two companions who were sent by Cheng Hao found them not long after, and then brought back the team that had been expanded, and when they found Cheng Hao, they found that the team here had also expanded to more than five hundred.

In order to prevent the displaced people in Henan from merging with Gao Yingxiang and others who are very likely to enter here, the Ming court took a very harsh order to them, either to drive people to nearby areas, such as Xuzhou or Nanzhili, or simply eliminate them on the spot, anyway, the lives of the displaced people in these years are not their lives, and if they are killed, they can have more land to give the living people heavier, and no one will feel sorry for them.

The scale of more than 3,000 people is enough to pose a threat to the general small and medium-sized county towns, and the officers and soldiers are naturally impossible to let go, since the confluence of this team, there have been several officer and soldier squads targeting them, but because there are too many people on Cheng Hao's side, they have not started for the time being, just hanging from afar, waiting for the officers and soldiers to converge and then exterminate together, but what they didn't expect was that Cheng Hao led people all the way to the north, but unknowingly entered the forest, and then quickly disappeared.

So many people enter the forest, it stands to reason that it should not be difficult to find, but the officers and soldiers are somewhat hesitant, because once they are out of the official road, their safety is basically not guaranteed, if you want to kill these homeless, you must follow the route of others, that is to say, they will also face the other party's counterattack, with the number of officers and soldiers currently only in their early 300s, this is not too easy, although the homeless people are easy to deal with, but too many are easy to bite the elephant to death, What's more, there are Cheng Hao and other high-rollers who are obviously not ordinary people, rashly chasing into the forest, and they don't know what will happen to Lu Dao, and a few low-level officers don't have any ideas in their hearts.

However, after discussion, they still decided to enter the forest to see, after all, this is more than 3,000 displaced people, if they continue to move to the north with such a swagger, all of them can't get rid of their responsibilities, although the danger of going in is very great, but if 300 people get together, it is estimated that there is not much of a problem, if it is really ambushed by the other party at that time, it is a big deal to turn around and run, anyway, the left is just a forest, and the area is not very large, this kind of place can't run out of the city, right?
