Chapter 22: The Duel
Just thinking of leaving, Zhang Zuolin came out of the house, and after finding them in the crowd, he shouted enthusiastically: "Two brothers of the Yang family, please come to the house for a while, there are some things I want to discuss with you." ”
Yang Xiaolin looked at Jin Dadao, and the two of them stood up, now they can't leave if they want to, let's go and see what Zhang Zuolin is looking for them to do.
"Group training, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Zuolin looked at the two of them, and then said very easily: "It's not a big deal, it's just that we're going to set off immediately, this time I plan to only take half of the people into the mountain, originally the two of you just came, I should let you rest for a while, at least wait for the brother in your Fengtian City to be injured and bother the two of you." But these brothers under Zhang are really useless, and it is a little unkind to let the two of them go into the mountain with me,"
Yang Xiaolin hurriedly interrupted: "Needless to say, since our brothers have followed the group practice, this life naturally has to be shared with the brothers." ”
Zhang Zuolin hahadaxiao: "Okay! I really didn't see the wrong person, the two of you went to prepare first, and I will take you to meet a person later, and if you don't knock this person down before entering the mountain, I will not be solid in the mountain! ”
Yang Xiaolin can only take one step at a time now, after he and Jin Dadao went down to prepare, the expression on Zhang Zuolin's face suddenly changed, and the boldness was completely gone, replaced by the cold eyes in those eyes, staring directly at the backs of Yang Xiaolin and Jin Dadao.
There was a cough in the house, and a man in his forties slowly walked out of it, his name is Zhao Zhanyuan, Zhang Zuolin's father-in-law, and Zhang Zuolin's military advisor when he started his family in his early years.
"What, do you see what's wrong?"
Zhang Zuolin shook his head: "I can't see for sure." The fat one has very good marksmanship, and although the other one has not leaked so far, judging from the fat man's words and tricks to him along the way, his ability should be not small. I always felt that there was something strange about the appearance of these two people. ”
"Did you come down from the mountain, or did the imperial court arrange haode for you?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Zuolin's mouth, and it was still those three words: "I can't see it." ”
Zhao Zhanyuan didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the house: "If you can't see it, take it with you, take it with you and watch it slowly, if there is anything wrong, send them home when you get to Yulu Mountain." ”
Zhang Zuolin nodded: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I am measured." ”
Zhao Zhanyuan's words were very vague, but Zhang Zuolin understood it.
The person Zhang Zuolin wants to meet is the leader of another militia here, and it can also be said that he is another bandit. In this part of the Northeast, whether it is in the mountains, in the tunzi, or in the city, everyone is a bandit, but the title is different, and the robbery method is different.
That person's name is Shahai, he and Zhang Zuolin have not fought once or twice, this time Zhang Zuolin entered the mountain just like Yang Xiaolin said, he is ready to live and die with Yulu Mountain, he can accept the result of death, but he can't accept that if he wins, he will return home and see that all the land has been robbed by Shahai.
Therefore, before setting out on the expedition, he must first level the sand sea.
Shahai is also very powerful, and it is not easy to level him. The two sides fought several times, Zhang Zuolin did not take the slightest advantage, and now the situation forced him to use the simplest and most dangerous method to make a break with Shahai.
"Sea of sand! Come out to Lao Tzu! ”
Dozens of guns under Shahai were pointed at Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin only brought a dozen brothers. Jin Dadao was about to pick up the gun, but Zhang Zuolin waved his hand to press the head of his gun, signaling him not to move.
The head of Shahai appeared behind the earthen wall: "Zhang Zuolin, what are you doing?" Do you want to go to war again? It seems that the people you brought with you today are a little less, right? ”
Zhang Zuolin spat on the ground: "Fuck you, I'm annoyed with you!" We've been fighting for more than a year, and you and my brothers have died hundreds, and I feel uncomfortable watching my brothers bleed. ”…,
Shahai was stunned for a moment on the earthen wall: "Broken? Okay, you knock your head down here, and our past things will be written off. ”
Zhang Zuolin hahadaxiao: "I kowtow? Do you deserve the sea of sand! ”
Sha Hai didn't speak inside, but he was secretly thinking about what Zhang Zuolin had in mind, and Yang Xiaolin on the side had already understood that Zhang Zuolin was here to find Sha Hai to fight alone! Although this is the courage of the horseman, it is indeed the best way that Zhang Zuolin can choose at present, and sometimes the courage required for the courage of the horseman is not available to ordinary people.
Sure enough, Zhang Zuolin spoke: "Don't you even have the courage to come out and talk to me?" Shahai, Lao Tzu brought these dozen brothers today, don't let me look down on you! ”
Sha Hai scolded angrily, got down from the wall, and only brought a dozen people out of the tunzi and stood in front of Zhang Zuolin: "Say, what do you want!" ”
Zhang Zuolin smiled: "I know you want to kill me, today I will give you a chance, haven't you always claimed that your marksmanship is fast and accurate?" Let's compare guns, dare? ”
A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Shahai's mouth: "Than a gun? Have you Zhang Zuolin lived enough? ”
Zhang Zuolin nodded: "Yes, I have lived enough." Let's start where we're standing now, let's each take ten steps back, and shoot together, how about it? ”
Shahai's marksmanship is really very good, he is confident that he can't lose compared to the gun, so he asked at the moment: "What if I win?" ”
"If you win, my territory and my brothers will belong to you in the future."
"Good! Zhang Zuolin, that's what you said! If I lose, so will it, come on, test the gun! ”
Sha Hai said as he took a rifle from the side, put a bullet in it, and then threw it to Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Zuolin smiled at Jin Dadao: "Yang Er, help me test the gun!" ”
This method is often used by the heroes of the Northeast, Jin Dadao is familiar with the road, stepped forward and grabbed the rifle thrown by Shahai, opened the chamber and saw that there was only one bullet, and nodded at the moment at Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Zuolin also threw his gun over, and someone on the other side of the sand sea came over to take a look. After the gun inspection was completed, Jin Dadao returned the gun to Sha Hai, except for Zhang Zuolin and Sha Hai, the others flashed a few steps to the side, leaving a large open space for them.
Both of them held the guns in their hands, and Sha Hai smiled: "The surname is Zhang, take your zuihou ten steps!" ”
They turned around slowly, and after turning around, Zhang Zuolin asked, "Okay?" ”
Shahai said, "Start counting!" ”
The men they brought with them shouted together: "One, two, three, four"
With each shout, the two men took a step forward. Heroes in the Northeast often use this way to understand grievances. Both sides had only one bullet in the chamber, which meant that both men had only one chance.
When the number of people next to them reaches ten, they will turn around and shoot at each other together, life and death are decided at that moment, even if there is no life or death, after this shot, all grievances must be put down, this is an unwritten rule.
Yang Xiaolin saw such a duel scene for the first time, and he was curious and nervous, and a little excited, he also thought, if Zhang Zuolin was killed by Shahai, would there be a future king of the Northeast?
The count continued in his thoughts: "Six, seven, eight, nine!" ”
