Chapter 289: Saving Grace
The mummy raised his hand and said to Zhang Yuan, "It's me."
After the initial shock, Zhang Zhen calmed down, and although the mummy did not say who he was, his voice sounded extremely familiar.
However, looking at the tightly wrapped mummy, Zhang Lu still asked very unconvinced, "Senior Brother of the Thousand Faces?"
The mummy nodded slightly.
Determined that the mummy was the Man of a Thousand Faces, Zhang Yuan watched around him for a week, and then asked, "How did you become like this?"
As soon as he said this, the man with a thousand faces was obviously a little emotional, he raised his hand and hit his thigh, but accidentally touched the wound and grinned in pain.
Zhang Yan shook his head and persuaded, "You're all like this, it's better to move less."
The man with a thousand faces rubbed the sore spot and said, "My injuries are not all caused by the Overseer, he is so ruthless that he slashed me many times before and after."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhen was also a little sad, he and the thousand-faced man were going to rob the law field, but first the thousand faces were stopped by Jiang Zhen, and Zhang Zhen was stopped by Luo Kedi, and in the end, this robbery law field did not work.
Zhang Yan sighed, sat back on the bed, and said softly, "The execution is over, right? Senior Brother Thousand Faces, how many innocent people have died on the court?"
The Man with a Thousand Faces shook his head helplessly, he raised his hand and pointed to the door, and said, "Otherwise, you can go and see for yourself."
Zhang Lu thought that the Man of Thousand Faces wanted him to go to the execution ground to have a look.
Although I don't know how long I've been asleep, Zhang Yuan thinks that if he kills so many people on the execution ground, even if the execution ground has been cleaned up, there will always be some traces, such as the blood left on the bluestone slab.
Zhang Lu nodded, and walked straight towards the door, he opened the door, and the sunlight outside shone in, feeling a little dazzling, Zhang Lu also closed his eyes directly.
felt the temperature of the sun, but it failed to bring some warmth to Zhang Lu's heart, because this era is cold.
After a while, he felt that his eyes should have adjusted to the sunlight outside the house, and he slowly opened his eyes.
It's just that the courtyard that was supposed to be deserted is now overcrowded, and these people are men, women, and children, some are combing their hair, some are enjoying the shade of trees, some are talking to each other, and some are sweeping the floor with Zhu Yunxi.
These people have only one thing in common, and that is that they are all dressed in prison uniforms.
When Zhang Zhen looked at these people, these people were also looking at Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Lu felt a little dazed, and couldn't help but whisper to himself, "What's the situation?"
"These are all people who have been rescued from the court."
The thousand-faced man said behind Zhang Zhen with his hands behind his back, the movement of his back hand was learned from Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhen said that this action will appear that the whole person is very profound, and the thousand-faced man thinks so, but he is now wrapped like a mummy, and the image is indeed a little far away from the master.
Zhang Lu couldn't help but turn his head and asked the thousand-faced man, "You saved all these people?"
The man with a thousand faces spun around, spread his hands, and said, "With the way I look, it's a fate to be alive, do you think I can drag my seriously injured body away from the Overseer?" And then bleed to defeat those guards on the court? Finally, bring all the people you saved back to your yard?"
….
Zhang Lu thought about it, this is really unrealistic.
One of the rescued people walked out, he arched his hand towards Zhang Yuan, bowed down and said, "Thank you Brother Lu for saving our lives."
The other rescued people in the courtyard all bowed to Zhang in unison.
The person who took the lead just now was named Cao Bing, the only son of Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, who was about the same age as Zhang Zhen, and had a good relationship with the two when they were studying in the James Mansion.
In terms of standing in line, Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, has been advancing and retreating with Lan Yu, but Cao Bing has always been on Zhu Yunwen's side because of Zhang Yuan's relationship, and when the prince Zhu Biao died, Cao Bing has also been doing his best to protect Zhu Yunwen.
Zhang Yan looked at Cao Bing, and he felt like he was in a different world, and he asked, "Fried cakes, you said I saved you?" I was seriously injured and fainted, how did I save you?
」
Fried cake is the nickname given to Cao Bing by Zhang Lu, and the children of Xun Gui will often call Cao Bing by this name, and Cao Bing himself doesn't care much about it, and thinks that this is a symbol of a good relationship.
Cao Bing said, "We also thought that we would definitely die, but no one expected that a team of black-clothed people would be killed on the court, and those black-clothed people had good martial arts, and the guards present repelled one after another. At that time, Grandpa Jia and Grandma Sun were also there, they wanted to stop the men in black, but unexpectedly, two more men in black were killed in the crowd, and their martial arts were even higher than those of Grandpa Jia and Grandma Sun, and they actually firmly suppressed Grandpa Jia and Grandma Sun from the Dharma field, and it was also through this moment that we were saved by those men in black."
Zhang Lu was also curious: "The man in black?"
When robbing the law field, Zhang Zhen really wanted to find some helpers, but he couldn't trust any of the people in Jinling City, even if he had a fateful friendship, he only let him put a few fires to attract the attention of others, and did not tell Ji Gang all the plans.
So when I robbed the Dharma Field, there were only two people, Zhang Zhen and the Man with a Thousand Faces, so where did these people in black come from? Even if Lan Yu and the others raised some dead soldiers, those dead soldiers would never be the opponents of Grandpa Jia and Grandma Sun.
Cao Bing nodded and said, "Later, a man in black carried a serious injury to you and brought everyone to your mansion. The man in black said that they were entrusted by you to save us, and the reason why you were injured was because you faced Jiang Zhen and Luo Kedi when you robbed the Dharma Field."
Zhang Lu looked embarrassed, and he immediately said, "How can I, Zhang Lu, be able to deal with Master Jiang and Master Luo? When I went to rob the Dharma Field, I was stopped by Master Luo, and I was indeed seriously injured, and it was he who faced Lord Jiang."
Zhang Yan said, and pointed to the thousand-faced man next to him who was wrapped into a dumpling.
"Thank you, hero, for coming to the rescue." The people also saluted the thousand-faced man.
Zhang Yu asked again, "Fried cakes, what are the characteristics of those men in black?"
Cao Bing thought to himself, those people in black were all found by you, and you still ask me? But when he thought about it, those people in black were really not a few, and probably Zhang Zhen couldn't recognize them all.
He thought about it carefully, and then he spoke, "Those people are dressed in black and their faces are covered with black cloth, and they really don't see any features, but they are carrying your one, with an iron sword behind their backs, and there seems to be a crown on their heads."
Zhang Zhen thought about it carefully, he really knew one person with an iron sword on his back and wearing a Dao crown, that is, Zhang Zhong, one of the five scattered people of the Ming Sect.
Thinking that Zhang Zhong was going to kill Master Luo, he let go of this idea when he learned of Han Qin's existence, so could the man in black be Zhang Zhong?
In this way, those people in black were all found by Master Luo? Why did Master Luo seriously injure himself? There are still too many things that Zhang Lu can't understand.
Night rivers and lakes.
