Chapter Forty-Three: Waves Again, Unexpected Enemies

Zhang An looked at the swordsman who fell in front of him, staring blankly, and shook off the blood droplets on Zhanlu.

Although this swordsman is not weak, after being made angry by Zhang An's assassin sword, he even used some kind of secret method to stimulate the body and stimulate his potential, so that his strength could be raised to a higher level, and he kept up with Zhang An's speed, but Zhang An switched to the majestic royal sword to seal the sword moves, and finally was cut off by the sharp Zhan Lu's sword, and died of hatred.

Zhang An flicked Zhan Lu lightly in his hand, and there was a feeling that he was still unfinished, it seemed that it was not a good thing for Zhan Lu to be too sharp, and he could not let himself play the role of honing his swordsmanship.

finally ran into an opponent whose strength was slightly worse than himself and could fight with him, but because he was distracted for a moment after being cut off by himself, he was stabbed to death by Zhang An, who seized the opportunity.

It seems that it is better to buy an ordinary long sword as a substitute, if it is not a strong enemy, Zhan Lu should not unsheath it.

Zhang An glanced at the three men who cowered and walked over, pointed to the seriously injured bandits who had lost their combat effectiveness, and said, "Go and tie up those people." ”

The three men hurriedly answered, and lifted the coarse cloth from the ox cart, revealing large chunks of stone.

They pushed the stones off the ox cart, and then tied up the bandits who had not died and carried them onto the ox carts, and they picked up the dead bandits from the ground, cut off their heads, and put them on the ox carts.

Zhang An quietly watched them cut off the heads of the dead without changing their faces, and sighed in his heart, after all, now in troubled times, even in the hinterland under the relatively peaceful rule of Cao Cao, the people dare to see blood.

"My lord, what should he do?" a man walked up to Zhang An and pointed at Jia Fugui.

Zhang An was slightly stunned, and received a kick from himself, this Jia Fugui is still not dead?

Zhang An, who was curious, walked to Jia Fugui's side, looked down, and found that Jia Fugui's pupils were dilated and his breathing was weak, but he didn't know what was supporting him, making him reluctant to die.

"I... Don't die ... As if knowing that Zhang An walked to his side, Jia Fugui blinked, and an astonishing look erupted in his eyes, "Help me... Save me... ”

Zhang An just shook his head and did nothing.

This Jia Fugui didn't know when he colluded with this gang of bandits, and the qi in his body was probably also infused into the body by the swordsman, as for the reason, it should be in case Guo Xianling found some master to encircle and suppress himself, and when he was invincible, this Jia Fugui took the opportunity to assassinate the master.

But it's a pity, it's obviously a spy, but Jia Fugui pestered himself for some reason to check his cultivation qualifications, and he found out the clues, and he had doubts in his heart, otherwise he might really be able to cause some trouble to himself without any defense.

"Help me ... Save me... Save... Jia Fugui's voice gradually became weaker.

Zhang An was a little unbearable.

"Why bother?" Zhang An sighed, ready to turn around and leave.

Who knew that Jia Fugui suddenly grabbed Zhang An's trouser leg and whispered, "Little... Be careful... ”

It's just that Jia Fugui didn't say anything to let Zhang An be careful, so he died in anger.

Zhang An looked at Jia Fugui, whose eyes were wide open, and frowned.

The three men over there had also been cleaned up, Zhang An temporarily put Jia Fugui's words aside, and the group embarked on the journey back to Yangzhai.

When Zhang An and his party were halfway there, they met the soldiers who had regrouped and came to meet them.

When he saw the heads on the ox cart and the bandits captured alive, the generals who led the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, Zhang An said with a smile that this battle was completed because of the joint efforts of both sides.

The general breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and felt a little grateful to Zhang An in his heart.

Zhang An doesn't care about half of his credit, anyway, he doesn't have much needs, and he doesn't want to take root in Yangzhai, he needs to stabilize his position with military exploits, so it's better to sell his favor, and he can't say that he will have a chance to use it in the future.

So the generals and soldiers hugged Zhang An in the center with the stars and the moon, and hurried to Yangzhai.

By the time everyone arrived in Yangzhai, it was already night, but Guo Xianling obviously did not sleep because he was worried about the suppression of bandits, and as soon as he received the report of the night watchman, he immediately appeared in the city.

Guo Xianling took a closer look and found that it was indeed Zhang An and the county soldiers who were correct, so he immediately opened the city gate and let Zhang An and the others enter the city.

"Zhang An has seen Master Guo. Zhang An saluted to Guo County's order, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, the thieves have all been beheaded." ”

"Good, good. Guo Xian ordered a smile away, "Zhang An, what do you want, let's hear it." ”

"I want two horses to get around, and some money to buy dry food and laundry. Zhang An said his request.

"Well said, well said. Guo County Ling happily agreed, "I have arranged an inn for you, you go to rest, and come to the county office tomorrow to receive the reward." ”

Zhang An hurriedly thanked him.

Guo Xianling laughed, left with everyone, and took Zhang An to stay overnight.

Early the next morning, Zhang An got up, washed up and ate something, and rushed to the county office.

There is no way, Xiao Hei is still waiting for him outside Yangzhai City, although Zhang An is not worried about Xiao Hei's survivability, but Zhang An still wants to go out of the city early to meet Xiao Hei, and then rush to the next stone.

After coming to the county office, a messenger received Zhang An.

The officer smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, it's really unfortunate, Guo County Commander is handling official business, and he ordered me to take my brother to get something." ”

Zhang An just wanted to get things as soon as possible and go out of the city at this time, where would he care if Guo County Ling had time to meet him.

Half an hour later, Zhang An walked out of the county office with his war horse and the horse given by Guo County.

Guo County's order is really generous, and he even gave Zhang An a big bag of copper coins, I'm afraid there are not 10,000 pieces.

One of the horses carried the bag of copper coins, and from a distance it looked like it was carrying a hill.

The two horses are just ordinary goods, but Zhang An is not dissatisfied, the price of a good horse is unknown, Guo County Ling really wants to equip Zhang An with two good horses, Zhang An will think that Guo County Ling is crazy.

After getting the reward, Zhang An went to buy dry food and clothes, went to the best restaurant in Yangzhai and ordered a takeaway banquet, and then led the three horses out of the city.

As soon as Zhang An walked to the place where he was separated from Xiao Hei before, Xiao Hei appeared out of nowhere, walked to Zhang An's side, and looked at the two newly added horses curiously.

"Come, eat something good. Zhang An found a piece of clothing and spread it on the ground, opened the food box, and took out the dishes one by one, and the tangy aroma suddenly spread.

Xiao Hei snorted, his eyes staring at the food a little straight.

"Eat. Zhang An held chopsticks in one hand to pick up vegetables, and grabbed a chicken leg with the other hand and gnawed wildly.

Xiao Hei saw Zhang An eating, and pounced directly, grabbed the food with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Looks like I'm going to teach him how to use chopsticks when I'm free. Watching the soup Xiao Hei ate splash around, Zhang An couldn't help but think that he didn't know that his food was not much worse than Xiao Hei.

The wind and clouds generally ate the meal, and the two set off on the road satisfied.

However, to Zhang An's surprise, Xiao Hei would rather follow Zhang An on the ground with his legs than ride a horse.

Xiao Hei is unwilling, Zhang An is not reluctant, anyway, when Xiao Hei is tired, he will naturally know the benefits of having horses to travel.

It's just that Zhang An and the others had just left Yang Zhai about a hundred miles away, and the sound of uniform heavy footsteps sounded behind them.

Zhang An stopped his horse and turned around in confusion, but was stunned to find that a team of soldiers was rushing towards Zhang An with a fierce momentum, and the leader of the team was the general Zhang An had seen yesterday.

The general was holding a black dog barking at Zhang An in his hand, and he didn't know why.

"I don't know what the general means by this?" asked Zhang An in a puzzled voice.

The answer to Zhang An was the oncoming arrow.

Zhang An took off his halberd, swept away all the arrows that were shot at him and the horses around him, frowned and asked, "Why did you attack me?"

"The thieves don't hurry up and get off their horses and surrender!" the general shouted.

"Thieves?" Zhang An smiled dumbly, "I only met with the general yesterday, and we were received by Guo County's order together, and I just received a reward from Yang Zhai in the morning and left the city, why did I become a thief at this time?"

The general's face turned red, and he no longer spoke, but retreated to the center of the queue and gave a sharp order for the soldiers to release the arrows again.

Zhang An saw that they frequently killed him, and his heart was more puzzled than angry.

He glanced at the generals who kept ordering, sneered, urged the war horse, carried the halberd and rushed towards the more than 100 soldiers.

After all, Zhang An is also a person who survived a bloody battle in an army of 100,000, and this soldier is not enough for Zhang An to retreat.

The distance between the two sides was fleeting, and before the soldiers could release another wave of arrows, Zhang An had already arrived in front of the battle.

Zhang An opened the halberd, set off a bloody storm, fought a bloody way among the soldiers, and rushed straight to the generals whose faces changed greatly and kept retreating.

Zhang An's speed of charging was fast, but Xiao Hei's speed was even faster.

Just when Zhang An heard the footsteps of the soldiers and turned around, Xiao Hei, who was following Zhang An, disappeared.

When Zhang An launched the charge, Xiao Hei had already blended into the soldiers and touched the side of the general.

The general's hands and feet were cold and looked at the extra dagger on his neck, if Zhang An hadn't shouted to stop in time, the general had already been stabbed to death by Xiao Hei.

"You want to give me an explanation for this, right?" Zhang An rode on a horse, looked at the general condescendingly, and his tone was cold.

The general sighed and explained the reason for the incident.

This inexplicable attack turned out to be an order from Guo County's order.

And the root of the matter lies in Zhang An's Zhanlu.

Although Guo Xianling is a literati, he likes to collect good swords.

Last night, when Guo Xianling asked about the details of the bandits, he knew that Zhang An had a good sword, and he suddenly had a crooked mind.

He knew that Zhang An was a disciple of Wang Yue, and he would not hand over the sword obediently, so he smeared a special spice on Zhang An's two horses.

The smell of this spice can only be smelled by specially trained fierce dogs, and even Xiao Hei has been concealed.

After Zhang An left the city, Guo Xian ordered to immediately gather soldiers, and waited for a while before letting them take the hounds out of the city to chase Zhang An.

After knowing all the details of the suppression of the bandits, Guo Xian ordered the soldiers who had not been equipped with strong bows and crossbows when they suppressed the bandits to all the soldiers who went out of the city, intending to take Zhang An in one fell swoop.

It's just that Guo County Ling doesn't know Zhang An's true roots, he is actually a military general.

In the face of the battle array, there is still a very big difference between the warriors and the generals.

So Guo County's plan failed.

In the general's chattering narration, Zhang An realized that this was not the first time that Guo County Ling had done this kind of thing.

Jia Fugui, who was killed by Zhang An before, was also a victim.

Although his parents claimed that they died of a sudden illness, it was actually because Jia Fugui's father got a good sword when he was in business in his early years, and after Guo County knew about it, he came to ask for it, but was refused.

After Guo County's order, he used some shady means to force Jia Fugui's family to ruin and get this sword.

And the reason why those who lend money are so reasonable and delay coming to the door to collect debts is only because of sympathy.

No wonder Jia Fugui has hatred in his heart but doesn't dare to say it, no wonder Jia Fugui colluded with the thief, I think it must be the thief who promised to help him take revenge.

Zhang An raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Yang Zhai, revealing a sneer.

Speaking of which, although I learned the Assassin Sword, I haven't really practiced the Assassin thing.
