Chapter 227: Escape (1)

"Order, everyone must not stop, speed up, and get out as soon as possible."

Jiang Kongming hurriedly issued a series of orders, completely ignoring the herald's surprised eyes.

Hundreds of horsemen galloped after him from the rear, and the first one was Fang Lingchen, the true commander of the Red Ocean Legion, who frowned at this time and had a worried face.

It was not the Black Flag Army that was in the suspicious array on the mountain, but the hundreds of Red Sea Warriors led by Fang Lingchen, who completed the task at this time and naturally hurried back.

"Commander Fang, how many troops did the Huns increase?" Jiang Kongming asked.

Fang Lingchen was taken aback, and his eyes swept towards Xu Haifeng. Xu Haifeng shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not leaked a single thing.

Jiang Kongming sneered disdainfully, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that the enemy army was strong and knew that it was invincible, how could my lord give the order to retreat in such a hurry." Although the 30,000 golden wolf army of the Eagle is powerful, it may not be able to win the two of us together, so the only possibility is that the reinforcements of the Huns have arrived. ”

His gaze swept over Fang Lingchen's face, the pu fan in his hand covered his face, and said, "If the students are not bad, the reinforcements of the Huns should be around 20,000, and they are also the Pegasus Legion under the command of your old rival Tu'er Hong." ”

Fang Lingchen was shocked, and the eyes that looked at him could no longer hide the fear in his heart. Even this was guessed by him out of thin air.

It is extremely rare to be able to guess that the Huns are coming to reinforcements with Xu Haifeng's reaction, and Fang Lingchen may not be able to do it by himself. If he were asked to tell the number of troops and reinforcements that had come again, then even if he was killed, he would not have been able to do it.

This person's wisdom is really comparable to that of ghosts and gods.

Xu Haifeng didn't look over, although he already had the concentration of the grandmaster level, he still felt extremely funny at this time, and the corners of his mouth still overflowed with a faint smile. The angle he was standing at was different, and Jiang Kongming didn't hide it from him, just to see the wisp of sly smile on Jiang Kongming's face covered by the fan.

Mind reading is indeed an extremely useful skill.

Jiang Kongming is not the real Zhuge Kongming after all, no matter how powerful he is, he can't be an unpredictable prophet.

It's just that his ability to observe words and emotions is unparalleled in the world, and as soon as he saw Xu Haifeng's appearance, he knew that something would happen, so he ordered to speed up the march. Fang Lingchen hurried over, and what he was thinking about was how to deal with it.

Since he is not a grandmaster and does not understand the power of the spirit, how can he hide what he thinks in his heart from Jiang Kongming, he immediately knows the reason at a glance.

Fang Lingchen struggled to pull out a smile, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "In the opinion of the military master, what should I do now?" ”

Jiang Kongming put down the pu fan, his face was already solemn, and he said with a straight face: "We have an army of 20,000 now, and it is absolutely impossible for so many people to take the remote road." In this case, it is better to speed up the march, along the way, God will stop killing God, Buddha will stop killing Buddha, and all the way to Wolong City. ”

His words were extremely domineering, but they were in line with the hearts of Fang Lingchen and other martial artists, and everyone applauded in unison, got on the horse and whipped away.

Yuehu Town, originally a beautiful place, the town is full of greenery, gardens everywhere, famous in a radius of hundreds of miles, is recognized as the best summer resort. Every summer season, there is an endless stream of people who come here to enjoy the coolness. It's just that this year is different, and there are as many as eighty percent fewer merchants coming and going.

If the reason for this is known.

The large-scale invasion of the Huns has caused a chaotic situation of panic in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to save their own lives, who will still worry about the change in the weather.

A group of people galloped into the town, it was Liu Zhengqi and others.

There were more than 80 of them, but such a large number of people gathered together was bound to attract attention. It was Zhang Zihua who ordered Liu Hualiang to take them to hide far away, and only led seven people into the town to supplement food.

This place is far away from Jingshi, and everyone has never been here, but the word "Douda's inn" is visible at a glance with the flag fluttering in the wind.

Although it is not a big city, but there are a lot of inns, Zhang Zihua has thousands of choices, and he strangled the reins in front of the door of the most inconspicuous inn, this so-called inn is only made up of a few simple rooms.

Dismounted, entered the inn, and a sixty-year-old man greeted him with a smile.

"How many hits or accommodation?"

Zhang Zihua changed his usual gloomy face, and said with a smile on his face: "Old man, come have something to eat, and prepare some dry food for us, the more the better." ”

"Why, aren't the guests here to escape the heat?" The old man asked in surprise.

"Naturally not, we have urgent matters and have to hurry."

A hint of disappointment flashed across the old man's face, but he still said, "Okay, come on." He turned back and shouted at the inside, and an old woman's voice came from the inner room.

The old man diligently pulled out the stool and habitually swept it with his cuffs.

Liu Zhengqi frowned and looked at all this with disgust, but at Zhang Zihua's signal, he still sat down. Gao Chengwei and Liu Zhengzhong naturally sat beside him, faintly guarding him.

Zhang Zihua had a kind smile on his face and asked, "Old man, how is your business lately?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's difficult, if it was this time in previous years, there were so many people who came here that you wouldn't have imagined that although my small shop was a little simpler, there were a lot of people who came." He sighed for a long time and said, "To be honest, halfway through this summer, my old man hasn't received a few batches of guests." I can't live this day. ”

He muttered a few words, picked up the rag and wiped it gently on the table and chair.

"Huns, Lone must drive them back." Liu Zhengqi cursed in a low voice.

Zhang Zihua was startled, and at the corner of his eye, the old man's wiping action did not pause for half a minute, and then he sighed softly. He turned his head and shook his head at Liu Zhengqi. Liu Zhengqi knew that he was speechless, and smiled at him wryly.

The curtain of the inn door opened suddenly, and a young man strode in, shouting as he went, "Daddy, I'm back." "He was carrying a package on his back, apparently out to buy goods.

The old man raised his head and beckoned, "It's good to come back, why did you go for so long?" ”

The young man sighed and said, "Somehow, the blockade in the city is tight, and it is said that some big thief is going to be caught, and he almost can't get out." ”

He said that he had no intention, but Liu Zhengqi and others were nervous at the same time.

The old man snorted angrily and said, "I know that these wolf cubs are not kind." ”

When the young man saw Liu Zhengqi and the others at this time, his face suddenly changed, and he glanced at his father again and again, realizing that he didn't want to talk too much. The old man glanced at him and said, "Help me entertain the guests, and I'll help your mother." ”

The young man answered, and when he saw the old man enter the inner room, he turned his head and said with a smile: "My father is an old man, and he likes to talk nonsense on weekdays, don't be surprised." ”

Zhang Zihua got up and said with a smile: "It's okay, old man, it's all like this." He changed his words and asked, "Little brother, what did you say about the city being sealed?" ”

The young man waved his hand and said, "I heard that someone fled here, not only in the city, but also in the south of the road. As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Zihua, suddenly stared, as if he remembered something, moved down his shoulder, and stared at Zhang Zihua's broken arm tightly. The smile on his face then faded away, replaced by a shock, but with some surprise in it.

Zhang Zihua's heart moved, he pretended not to know, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the little brother?" ”

The young man woke up like a dream, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "A few guest officers, please sit down for a while, and the younger one will go to help his parents clean up the wine and food for everyone." ”

Zhang Zihua nodded with a smile, and after he walked into the inner room, the smile on his face immediately faded clean. He took a step forward and came to the door, listening intently.

"Dad, we're going to get rich." A distinctly suppressed voice sounded softly.

"What makes a fortune?"

"Shh......h

"What the hell are you worshipping?" The old man said dissatisfiedly.

"Dad, I saw it at the city gate, and the wanted thief on the notice was the man at the gate."

"What? You can't be mistaken. ”

"Absolutely not." There was extreme excitement in the young man's voice: "Dad, as long as you provide their whereabouts to the government, you will have five hundred taels of silver to take." ”

"Five hundred taels?" An old woman gasped, for them who were small people who were promoted to the Doudou, five hundred taels of silver was already an unimaginably large amount.

"You really can't be mistaken?"

"Absolutely not." The young man cursed and swore, "That man not only looks the same, but also has a broken arm, how can you say that he is mistaken?" ”

There was silence in the inner room, Zhang Zihua's face was pale, his one arm clenched the handle of the dagger in his arms, as for Gao Chengwei and the others, they were already ready to make a move.

"Dad, you hold them back, I'll report to the official."

"Nope." The old man categorically denied it.

"Why?" The old woman's voice was full of surprise.

"Dad, are you confused? That's five hundred taels of silver? ”

"Hmph, Lao Tzu has opened a store for a lifetime, and he still has this vision. Do you know what kind of horses those people are riding outside? ”

"What?"

"Military horses."

"So what?" The young man was puzzled.

"Stupid, since they rode a military horse, it means that they are soldiers, do you understand?"

The young man was silent.

"Now it is the world of the Huns, and who else will be the soldiers who can be wanted by them? No matter how poor I am, I can't do this kind of thing that makes people poke their backbones. ”

After a while, the young man's voice sounded again, but at this time, he no longer had half a sense of excitement: "Dad, what do you say you should do?" ”

"Prepare dry food and give it to them, no one has been here in our store today." The old man's voice was firm and dignified, not subdued or frustrated, but it was like bubbling spring water, which could directly penetrate into people's hearts.
