Chapter 50: The Mongol Barracks
After that night, for several days, Zhang Yang stayed in the house and stayed closed, immersed in the practice of left-right fighting all day long.
He had to admire Zhou Botong's cleverness, just because this kind of martial arts is really fun, in addition to practicing the combination of two swords, one person can imitate two people to fight, which is really interesting.
In addition, there is nothing to do in the past few days, and Zhang Yang plays left and right fighting techniques, just like playing a game console for the first time in his previous life, and he is a little addicted after getting started.
In the past few days, the Mongol army still did not move at all, and there were only a few small-scale sieges on the way, each time only sending trebuchets to throw stones on the periphery for half an hour, or letting the giant crossbows shoot from outside, or throwing fireballs and other long-distance attacks.
In short, the thunder was loud and the rain was small every time, and it did not interfere with the safety of the city at all.
However, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to relax, because everyone knew that the storm always came suddenly after the calm and the waves calmed, and it was not known when the general attack of the Mongol soldiers would occur.
If Xiangyang City has been peaceful recently, Guo Mansion is a little restless today, and some well-informed people have heard of an incredible thing, that is, Guo Daxia's two apprentices, the Wu brothers, went to the Mongolian military camp to assassinate Kublai Khan, the commander of the army.
But the most annoying thing is that these two stunned young men who have not succeeded enough and have more than enough failures, fortunately failed to assassinate, but they were captured alive by Kublai Khan, and they sent a letter to Guo Jing.
As for the content of the letter, outsiders don't know, but after Guo Jing read the letter, he smashed the table angrily.
When these things happened, Zhang Yang was very idle, in addition to playing left and right fighting every day, he chatted with Xiaolongnu and teased his little daughter Zhang Jing.
On this day, Zhang Yang was holding Xiao Zhang Jing. Holding a wave drum in one hand, it made the little girl giggle.
Hong Lingbo suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside the door: "Xianggong, a beggar disciple outside the door sent you a letter." ”
After she finished speaking, she handed over the white envelope in her hand.
Zhang Yang looked at Guo Jing's signature written on the envelope, and said: "I don't know what this Guo Daxia is looking for me, you open it and read it to me." ”
Hong Lingbo opened the envelope as he said. And read the contents of the letter.
After listening to the general content of the letter, Zhang Yang handed the little Zhang Jing in his hand to the little dragon girl on the side, and then he thought about it.
The first half of the letter turned out to be about the assassination of Kublai Khan by Xiaowu, which he had known for a long time.
It's just because after Guo Fu went out, in order to obey his orders, he got rid of the entanglement of the big and small martial arts. She lied to the two brothers and told them that she had fallen in love with someone else, and asked them to die as soon as possible.
When the two brothers heard this, they thought that Guo Fu looked down on the two of them, and in order to win Guo Fu's heart, they wanted to do something earth-shattering to attract her attention.
That's when the two brothers went out of town together. The stupid act of assassinating Kublai Khan.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Zhang Yang. The things that are connected to him are the second half of the faith.
It turned out that Kublai Khan, in addition to asking Guo Jing to go to the Mongolian tent in person, also named him to go too, otherwise he would not be released.
"Xianggong, I heard that Kublai Khan, the commander of the Mongols, is a cunning person, and this time he asked you to go with Guo Jing, and he must not have a good heart. What's more, the last time the Golden Wheel Dharma King lost to you. Let them lose face with the Mongols, and they will definitely take revenge on you with this incident. Hong Lingbo said with a non-ambiguous face.
"I heard that this Kublai Khan's subordinates not only have many soldiers, but also have a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who work for him. Li Mochou also opened his mouth to dissuade him.
Zhang Yang could naturally guess the intentions of the Mongols, but he was now the leader of the martial arts alliance. If you don't go, it will be detrimental to your majesty.
Originally, Zhang Yang didn't care about these false names, and Xiaowu was his rival in love, so he didn't need to take risks.
After the last Lujiazhuang Heroes Conference. His fame has risen steadily, and now, it has as many as 58 points, which is only half a distance from 100 points.
If he can help Guo Jing rescue Xiaowu this time, his reputation value should be improved, which makes him have to think about it.
And this time the person who sent the letter asking for help was his cheap father-in-law Guo Jing, and this face should also be given to the other party. In addition, Li Mochou once killed Xiaowu's mother, if he saves them again this time, this hatred should be completely resolved.
He has the left and right fighting technique to protect himself, as long as he has two long swords in his hand, the five-level characters can also fight, but he is not afraid of the other party, the big deal is that when he can't win, he can escape.
After comprehensive thinking, Zhang Yang finally decided to help Guo Jing once.
Guo Jing rode a sweaty and bloody horse, and flamboyantly rode a brocade car, and the two of them marched towards the Mongolian camp one after the other, looking from a distance, it seemed that Guo Jing was guarding him.
The Mongol camp was only a few miles away from the city, and in less than half an hour they had arrived at it.
After getting off the carriage outside the camp, Zhang Yang and the two were led into the tent, and after entering the big tent, they could see Mongolian felt bags of length and width everywhere.
These felt bales are generally round in shape, with strips of wood forming a net wall, and in order to prevent water accumulation, umbrella-shaped tops are often used. The bag is covered with animal felt, strangled with rope, and there is a circular skylight in the center of the top to facilitate daylight lighting.
This felt bag was easy to disassemble and assemble, and was the most common equipment used by the Mongols when they were nomadic.
These felt bags are large and small, the big ones are about three or four zhang, and the small ones are more than one zhang long and wide. In the vicinity of the felt bag, you can see Mongolian soldiers patrolling everywhere, or sergeants standing in front of the felt bag.
Although the entire Mongolian military camp has a large number of people, it is still solemn, and no one talks or laughs loudly at all, which shows that its military discipline is strict.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, the two of them walked through dozens of large and small felt bags before they came to a felt bag that was five or six zhang in size, more than twice the size of other felt bags.
Eight sturdy Mongol soldiers stood outside the felt bag, and after a Mongol soldier who led the way entered the tent and passed the word, after a while, the leader let the two into the tent.
Zhang Yang followed Guo Jing into the big tent, and saw a young man in a brocade robe in his twenties sitting on a tiger skin chair in the middle of the tent with a slightly dark face and big ears.
"When the first king was here, he often mentioned Uncle Guo Jing's heroic righteousness, and the little nephew listened to it and admired it for a long time. The brocade-robed young man stepped down from his seat, headed towards Guo Jing, and bowed to the ground.
It turned out that this person was Kublai Khan, the commander of the Mongol army this time, and his father Torre was Guo Jing's former sworn brother.
"When I was young, my mother and son were under the command of Genghis Khan, and they were greatly cared for by Lingzun. How do you know that Ling Zun is in his youth, and he should be in the middle of the day, but he suddenly passed away, which is really sad. Guo Jing returned the favor and said earnestly.
"This must be Zhang Yang Shaoxia, Xiao Wang has heard of the young hero boy, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, it is really a hero out of a young man!" Seeing that Guo Jing had no intention of introducing him, Kublai Khan laughed to himself.
Before Zhang Yang could speak, behind Kublai Khan, a man with an extremely pale face and sunken eyes showing bruises sneered and said: "Hmph, I heard that Your Excellency is the deputy leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts, so you must be good at martial arts." If I have the opportunity, I Xiaoxiangzi would like to ask for advice. ”
Standing next to Xiao Xiangzi was a blue-eyed and blue-haired Hu man, but he was wearing a Hanfu, with a pearl hanging from his neck, a jade bracelet on his wrist, and a bejeweled appearance, only to hear him smile and say:
"You have a lot of resources and abundant products, and as the leader of the martial arts alliance, you must be very rich. I knew that I would also fight for the position of the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance. As the leader of the martial arts alliance, there must be endless money. ”
The two men spoke in an arrogant and rude tone, and Kublai Khan did not seem to hear them at all, nor did he have any intention of stopping them.
When Guo Jing heard this, his face turned pale, but he was here to save people today, so he had to forcibly suppress this anger, and glanced at Zhang Yang, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Zhang Yang ignored Guo Jing's warning, and said with a slight smile: "The position of the leader of the martial arts alliance is just in vain, if you meet a capable person, you will naturally give it up and not shirk it." But...... Our Central Plains is vast and has a large population, and it is not easy to become the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, let alone a cat or a dog! ”
It turned out that among the two people who spoke just now, Xiao Xiangzi was as pale as a zombie, and the other jeweled Hu man was Yin Kexi, both of whom were one of the three Mongolian heroes.
Hearing Zhang Yang's swearing, Xiao Xiangzi's eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: "Bastard boy, you dare to scold!" ”
Yin Kexi's Chinese was a little worse, and after being reminded by his companion, he knew that Zhang Yang was swearing, and he was immediately furious: "I want to see what you can do with this yellow-haired boy, and you dare to speak wildly." ”
Seeing that the two of them looked like fighting cocks, Zhang Yang's face remained unchanged at all, and he smiled: "If the two of you want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, you can ask this Golden Wheel Dharma King for a lesson or two, he also came to compete for the leader of the martial arts alliance that day, but he was lucky to win a move and a half, and he won the position of the leader of the alliance." ”
After Zhang Yang said this, he set his eyes on the Golden Wheel Dharma King who was not far away with an extremely ugly face.
On the same day, he led the crowd to the Central Plains to make trouble, if he succeeded in winning the position of the leader of the alliance, of course the King of the Golden Wheel would publicize a big event, but he returned with a feather, was injured, and even lost a baby apprentice, he would not be stupid enough to say this kind of thing. Therefore, except for Kublai Khan, the rest of the people didn't know about his deflated martial arts in the Central Plains.
Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi were eager to try, but when they heard this, their faces immediately changed. They know the strength of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, if the other party can't help it, the two of them don't dare to make a mistake. (To be continued......)
