Chapter 32: The Old Man Han Shan
A large number of people with torches and swords soon filled the inn space, surrounding Zhang Lang and more than a dozen people, and the scene was extremely chaotic. The moaning minions on the ground also struggled to get up and retreat into the crowd.
"Want to fight in a group?" Zhang Lang sat on the chair, suddenly turned his head, his eyes were as sharp as lightning swept over each thief, and his face said coldly.
"Pedaling" the few minions closest to Zhang Lang, couldn't stand the powerful momentum he emitted, and his face trembled and took a few steps back.
Zhang Lang sneered, withdrew his eyes, picked up the teacup from the table casually, and then tasted it with a calm expression.
At this time, the minions automatically separated, and from the middle came a thief who seemed to have a little weight, holding a scary machete in his hand, his face was not good, and there were several criss-crossing scars, thinking that he was a ruthless character, and he looked arrogant.
The big stunned man with the copper hammer, when he saw him come in, his expression turned from anger to joy, and he shouted at Lu Xiang with a hammer, like a child complaining about his mother: "The master, you are just right to be old, this guy is very difficult, and just now he played a trick on my second stunned son." After speaking, he opened his bull's eyes and glared at Lu Xiang fiercely, looking like you kid was dead.
The leader of the thieves frowned, a few scars jumped slightly, full of anger, and then said viciously to the Lu brothers with a grinning face and a smile: "You two little bastards are not obediently tied up, and the uncle will spare you from death." ”
Lu Kuang looked scared, trembling and stammering: "Don't, don't, this old man has mercy under the knife, just now the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, offended a few masters, and I hope that the adults will not remember the villain's mistakes, and bear with me." ”
The second stunned man grinned and said very proudly: "Boy, you know that you are afraid." That's just to knock your head three times, and then call grandpa, forget it, otherwise, Lao Tzu will smash you to pieces with a hammer. After speaking, he still carried a copper hammer, opened his teeth and claws, and was completely stunned.
"Don't, don't, don't! The small ones have a high hall and a wife and a child, and they are still waiting for the villain to make money and go to the pot? Uncle, you call it poor and pitiful. Lu Kuang had a bitter face, sang well, and almost cried with a handful of noses.
Zhang Lang and the others couldn't help but smile, they couldn't imagine that this Lu brother was still a living treasure, and they had a lot of talent for acting.
The minions in the inn were a little proud, but the leader seemed to feel a little uneasy, because it felt really strange tonight, if it was before, as long as his brother flashed out and surrounded people, which one would not cry dad and call mother, kneel on the ground and beg for life, and obediently offer things. And tonight, in the past ten years, except for the two brothers who looked quite alike, the others were unexpectedly calm, and they had obviously seen a big scene. And the most unsettling thing is that the young man sitting in the middle always has a feeling of knowing each other, but he can't remember it for a while. The fourth master pondered for a moment, couldn't think of a reason, and said coldly: "This is called self-inflicted sin and can't live, but the uncle is in a good mood at night, as long as you hand over all the things that are in charge, the uncle will forget it, otherwise, hum, don't blame the brother for being polite." ”
"Really?" Zhang Lang raised his head violently, his eyes were like lightning swords, piercing the heart of the leader of the thieves, and said politely.
"Ah" The body of the master shook violently, and under Zhang Lang's scorching gaze, the whole person was like a cold cellar, and his whole body was cold. Then, as if he remembered something, his body trembled obviously, and he blurted out with a complicated expression: "Are you Zhang Lang?" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the eagle guards looked at each other in shock, and the steel knife in their hands was unsheathed at the same time, and the murderous aura rose for a while.
Zhang Lang also looked at the pale thief leader with a suspicious face, I don't know how he recognized himself, this is an extraordinary time, once his identity is leaked, I am afraid that sooner or later he will die without a place to be buried. For the sake of secrecy, you should kill people tonight.
The leader of the thieves felt the strong killing intent emanating from Zhang Lang's eyes, and his soul suddenly scattered, and the machete in his hand could no longer be held and fell to the ground, just when the eagle guard was about to start the big killing, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Boss, don't misunderstand, the little one is Han Shan, I saw your old man when I used to see Han Tianzhai in Canglongling, Huashan." ”
"Is that you?" Zhang Lang also said with surprise on his face, he never dreamed that he would meet the minions of the former Han Juzi here.
Han Shan was overjoyed, thinking that Zhang Lang still remembered himself, and said excitedly: "It's the small one." Then he stiffened his neck and yelled at the minions on the side: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you come and see the boss." ”
Those minions were stupid, and they didn't know when they came out with a general boss, especially the second stunned man, and said stupidly: "Isn't he the one who is the boss?" When did he become the new guy? But when he saw that everyone was obediently kneeling and shouting, he didn't dare to kneel down lazy.
Among the people, only Yang Rong knew about it, and the Lu brothers and Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Lang with a slight face in confusion.
"Get up, you don't have to make such a big salute." Zhang Lang stood up and motioned for Han Shan to get up and say.
Han Shan said respectfully: "Thank you for your grace." ”
Zhang Lang cried and laughed: "Han Shan, don't you call it anything to open your mouth and close your mouth, as if I have really become a thief in the green forest." ”
Han Shan blushed, touched a cold sweat as he spoke, and said, "Yes, yes, Zhang ...... General Zhang. ”
Zhang Lang's face turned pale, sat down anew, and said solemnly: "Do you have any plans in the future?" Do you want to go on like this? If you are tired of such words, you can follow me down to Jiangdong and do a vigorous career, and Zhang Lang will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Han Shan was speechless with excitement, and knelt down again with a plop and said: "Thank you for the grace of the lord, Han Shan has sold his life to the lord in this life, and from now on, there will be no complaints, otherwise the sky will thunder and thunder, and he will not die well."
Han Shan's words were sonorous and powerful, and the people who listened to him nodded frequently, praising the man with his blood surname.
Zhang Lang nodded with satisfaction and said, "You get up and talk, wait for you to discuss with everyone, and if you are willing to follow me, you will start preparing to go to Jiangnan, but now is very time, it is inconvenient for me to go with you, and we will see you in Jiangnan at that time." ”
Where did Han Shan have any opinions, he nodded again and again, and then said to the minions smartly: "Who dares to leak the matter of seeing General Zhang at night, Han Shan is the first to ask for his head." Then Scarface spun around and yelled, "Did you hear that?" ”
Where did the minions below dare to say more, and they all said carefully: "The little one understands." ”
Zhang Lang suddenly changed his tone at this time, and said: "By the way, Han Shan, you know that Li Xuan's army should be about to arrive here, why haven't you transferred?" Also, do you know why they passed through this backcountry? ”
Han Shan lowered his head and said: "The subordinates know that they know, but they don't take it to heart, you must know that the Tailing Sankun Mountain Range, there are many branches, the mountains are majestic and majestic, the dangerous peaks are high, the mountains are connected with clouds, and the cave walls are even the sky. ”
Zhang Lang felt justified and nodded involuntarily.
Han Shan then saw that Zhang Lang's face was pleasant, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and he strengthened his courage and continued: "And why did Li Qijun come here, it seems that he was chasing a general named Xu Huang. The leader of the troops this time is called Zhang Yan, who seems to have 3,000 soldiers under his command, most of whom are Shaanxi military horses. ”
Zhang Lang shook his head and said, "Then do you know where Xu Huang is hiding now?" ”
Han Shan shook his head and said, "The mountains are so wide, I don't know where they are for a while. However, if the lord wants to know, it will not be difficult, most of the subordinate brothers are used to living in the mountains, and they are still somewhat sure of finding someone in the mountains. ”
Zhang Lang said happily: "This is very good, you go back and prepare quickly, I want you to transfer all the manpower and find out Xu Huang's whereabouts for me in the shortest possible time." The sooner the better. ”
Although Han Shan didn't know why he attached so much importance to Xu Huang, since it was an order from his new master, there was nothing to say. immediately took Zhang Lang and a group of people and a large number of minions back to the cottage.
When they arrived at the cottage, the sky was almost dawn, and the fish belly appeared white, although Zhang Lang and the others had excess energy, but there was still a little fatigue, Han Shan respectfully settled Zhang Lang and the others, and let the group have a good rest. Then all the gangs were gathered in the cottage lobby, and there were about three or four hundred people, and the concise order was given, so that everyone could go to Xu Huang together in a group of three or five, or a team of several people.
In less than a morning, a group of people found that the southern mountains looked like traces of resting, the gray grass on the ground was clearly burned, and there were animal skins in the stream not far away, and it seemed to be newly peeled. Everyone was shocked, and they followed the clues all the way, and they kept finding some domestic garbage, rags, and it seemed that Xu Huang was not far ahead.
But at this time, there were obviously more footprints in the mountains and forests, and the grass and trees were much messy, there were traces of cooking and fire, and the ground was full of wood charcoal ash. The leader faintly felt bad, in this deep mountain and old forest, it was obvious that Xu Huang was not alone, maybe Li urged the people to catch up. Thinking of this time, he hurriedly asked someone to report back to Zhang Lang quickly, so that he could prepare for the contingency as soon as possible.
When Zhang Lang got a trace that was very likely to be Xu Huang, he only ate half of his lunch meal, so he hurriedly asked Han Shan to gather all the manpower, and then led the way with that person. Listening to the minion's return along the way, Zhang Lang was anxious. According to Xu Huang's current situation, it is estimated that he is extremely forced now, and he may still be injured, think about how many times he was alone, which time was not scarred? If you meet Li Xuanbing at this time, I am only afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. Thinking of this time, Zhang Lang almost wanted to run away, and couldn't wait to find him.
The mountain road is becoming more and more difficult, the thorns are dense, the terrain is becoming more and more dangerous, and Zhang Lang's heart is sinking more and more.
Suddenly, "Lord, look at ......" An eagle guard suddenly pointed to a big tree not far away. Zhang Lang looked at it, but saw a soldier bleeding, leaning against the tree, his eyes wide open, and he died. The death was horrifying.
Zhang Lang was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly led someone to run over, and an eagle guard began to examine the body with a neat movement.
In the middle of the sound, the eagle guard reported the result: "My lord, this person has just died, and his body is still stiff and the blood stains are dry. There is only a wound on the left side of the neck on the whole body, but it is also the most deadly, according to the estimation of his subordinates, he should have been killed by a blow. And it doesn't seem to be a sneak attack, etc. ”
Zhao Yu stuck out his tongue and said, "In that case, it should be the one who asked Xu Huang to do." ”
Zhang Lang tilted his head and pondered for a while, ignoring Zhao Yu's question, and said to Ying Wei: "How long is it estimated that he has been dead?" ”
The eagle guard didn't think about it and said, "Looking at the degree of muscle rigidity of his corpse, it definitely hasn't exceeded the time of a pillar of incense." ”
Zhang Lang said in a deep voice: "Everyone scattered and searched carefully, and as soon as they found any trouble, they immediately notified me." ”
The crowd was amazed, and scattered in all directions, searching carefully.
Zhao Yu pursed his mouth, pulled up Zhang Lang's arm and shook it a little unhappily, and said angrily: "Brother Lang, what is Xiaoyu asking you?" ”
Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, this is not sure for sure, but it should be ** not far from ten." ”
"Look, my lord." At this time, an eagle pointed to a large rock not far away and shouted, it turned out that a soldier had also died on the side.
Zhang Lang's gaze naturally extended, but he found that in the grassy hillside and other places in front of him, the corpses of seven or eight people were lying intermittently, and they had disappeared into a pine forest in front of him. Could it be that Xu Huang was discovered by them? Fight all the way and hide in the pine forest? Zhang Lang thought calmly.
At this time, the Eagle Guard and the others had followed the direction of the corpse, moving forward quickly, seeing that the footprints on the ground were messy, and there were blood stains that had been extended, and there was obviously a group of people following and stepping on the ground, Zhang Lang signaled, and everyone gently touched the pine forest on the opposite side.
Soon entered the forest, Zhang Lang only took the Lu brothers, Yang Rong, Zhao Yu, Han Shan and Yingwei into the inside, while the big gang of minions was outside.
When Zhang Lang stepped into the forest, he suddenly felt that the sky was a lot darker, and all around him were towering ancient trees, with branches and roots, and they were cyan.
Zhang Lang secretly praised Xu Huang in his heart for being smart and knowing how to use the terrain environment to fight guerrilla secret attacks with the other party. Because the forest is so leafy that it almost obscures out the light, the general eyesight is greatly affected, and in this way, the chance of being spotted is greatly reduced. And the advantage of having more people on the other side has also been reduced a lot. It is more convenient for Tibetan assassinations, etc.
Zhang Lang and the others all bowed up, trying to keep themselves from making a sound.
There was a sudden scream in the forest not far ahead, and then someone looked up to the sky and laughed angrily: "Xu Huang, look where you are running this time!" ”
