Chapter 35: Searching for Someone
After arranging everything, Chu Fan strode to the north of the city.
Zhang Ping also left with a group of beggars, and time was pressing, and they had to move quickly.
"Who will guard the north of the city?"
On the way, Zhang Ping suddenly realized a problem, if they couldn't find other helpers, they would be thirty beggars plus five guards from the palace to guard the south of the city, this was an extremely difficult task, and their group of people could die.
But Chu Fan did not say who would guard the north of the city, did he have other manpower?
...
A crowd of beggars scattered into the streets of the city.
Beggars abound on the roadside, the news spread very quickly, and the people in charge of Li were already spreading, and soon, most of the people in the city knew that a pack of wolves was about to attack the city.
Even if it is a little incredible, but there are no guards in the city, the hearts of the people have been fluctuating in the past two days, and many people are already uneasy, hearing this kind of news, whether it is true or not, they choose to hide at home and no longer go out.
But there are also people who don't want to believe it, feel that this is a fantasy, and scoff at it.
"Hahaha, the wolf is going into the city?
"Who spread the news?"
"A bunch of beggars, who can't eat all day and think of this way to cholera people's hearts?"
When a beggar heard this, he was immediately angry and wanted to reason with the man.
"Forget it, don't be like him, and inform more people as soon as possible. A tall beggar stopped him and persuaded.
"Brother Ali, you're right, I'm just a little angry. ”
Ali is one of the people who followed Zhang Ping, with more than 100 combat power.
The beggar looked at him indignantly, and was pulled away by Ali.
"Hey, don't bother with us, we're scholars, you stinky beggars, deserve it?" a scholar mocked behind the beggar.
...
Zhang Ping took Ah Wu and a group of beggars to spread the news in the city, and at the same time, he was also looking for warriors who could defend the city with them.
A huge banyan tree with a dilapidated hut underneath it.
In front of Zhang Ping sat an old man in a black robe with a long beard.
The old man sat on a stone in front of the hut, narrowed his eyes, and asked Zhang Ping with a smile:
"How did you find me, an old man?"
Zhang Ping was silent, and a small beggar appeared behind him, smiling embarrassedly at the old man.
"It turned out to be you little radish head, hehe. ”
"Grandpa Zhang, the fanged wolf is about to enter the city, your old martial arts are world-famous, help us. The little man prayed.
"Hey, when Lao Tzu saved your life, you still relied on it. The black-robed old man snorted coldly, obviously a little unhappy.
The little man lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
He lived on the streets since he was a child, and he was a neighbor of this black-robed old man for a while, and he took care of him, and he saved his life.
The little man knew that this old man was good at martial arts, so he brought Zhang Ping here and wanted the old man to follow them to defend the city.
Zhang Ping took a step forward and arched his hand: "Senior, Qingshan City is about to face a crisis, if a group of wolves enter the city, the consequences will be unimaginable, if the seniors can lend a hand, the younger generations are grateful." ”
"Hey, hey. ”
The black-robed old man smiled and shook his head slowly.
"The old man has already half of his body into the loess, what does the death and life of the world have to do with me, let's go. ”
Everyone was quite disappointed in their hearts, Zhang Ping complained to the old man in the black robe, turned around and took the person away, the little beggar was reluctant, turned around and glanced at the old man and left.
After Zhang Ping left, a touch of tenderness appeared in the eyes of the black-robed old man, smiled, slowly got up, and looked up at the banyan tree.
"The little radish head has grown taller... I only thought of looking at Lao Tzu when I had something, I really had no conscience. ”
...
"What? The wolf is coming, and he is going to defend the city?"
Meng Long, the chief dart head of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, sneered, he put down the long knife in his hand and wiped the sweat from his martial arts practice.
"Young man, I'm afraid you're not here to find the old man?"
Behind Meng Long, several dart masters clasped their hands on their chests and looked at the beggars in front of them with great interest.
Zhang Ping's expression was serious, and he told Meng Long the urgency of the matter, hoping that he could stand up for the sake of righteousness.
"The game is about buying and selling, and there is no such thing as helping people to fight for free, let alone fighting with wolves, and the lives of the brothers behind me are not picked up. ”
Zhang Ping heard that the other party was asking for money, and he couldn't help but think of Chu Fan, who gave Mo Xiaobei 10,000 taels to everyone this morning, and maybe he could make up for it at this time.
"If we need silver, we can send it to Meng Darthead. Zhang Ping said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, many dart masters laughed, and someone asked Zhang Ping: "I said you beggars, if you are really rich, do you still need to ask for food?"
A group of beggars were angry, they defended the city for the people, but they were still humiliated, and some people immediately retorted angrily.
Zhang Ping waved his hand, stopped the beggar, and looked at Meng Long.
Meng Long also sneered, "I didn't go back in advance, the beggar helped Zhang Ping... Tsk, I've never heard of it. ”
turned around and took the dart master into the house and hung Zhang Ping in the courtyard.
Zhang Ping didn't say a word, a trace of anger appeared on his face, looking at Meng Long's back, for a long time, he sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to leave with someone.
As he crossed the gate, a dart master hurried into the game and nearly bumped into a beggar.
"Get out of the way!"
...
Inside the house, Meng Long's expression was grim, and in front of him stood the dart master who had just run in from outside the door.
"What you said is true?"
"It's true, when I arrived, I only saw one of Lao Wu's shoes, and the ground was full of blood. The dart master's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have surveyed, and our goods have not moved at all, and there are many wolf paw prints on the ground." ”
Meng Long took a deep breath, calmed down, there was some disbelief in his eyes, and muttered, "What that kid said turned out to be true. ”
...
"Hey, what are a bunch of beggars doing on the wall?"
"Seeing that the guards are not there, have you ever thought about being a general?"
In the city, a few ruffians laughed on the road,
Ali ignored the people behind him, and led a few beggars to close the city gate, and climbed the city wall to look into the distance.
"Aligo, the walls are so high, the wolves can't jump up, are we? A beggar asked Ali.
Ali said: "Don't doubt Brother Chu's words, do your own thing, and don't take it lightly." ”
The beggar nodded, then hesitated and said, "Brother Ali, there is something I want to say. ”
"Do we have people who appreciate these things? You see those people, they don't look down on us at all, why should we take risks for them?"
"We are just beggars, we want food wherever we want, even if Qingshan City falls, we can just go to other places to ask for food, why risk our lives here. ”
After the beggar finished speaking, several beggars beside him couldn't help but look sideways, obviously, many people had such a question in their hearts.
Not everyone is willing to do such a thing, they are all hungry and disgusted, and now they are risking to do such things, and they are a little reluctant in their hearts.
