Chapter 36: The Wolf Is Coming
Ali looked at him, and before he could answer, he heard a familiar voice coming from below.
"If you want to leave, you can go. ”
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Zhang Ping who had rushed to the gate of the city and was climbing the city wall.
"Brother Zhang Ping!"
The beggars moved out of the way.
Zhang Ping came to everyone, and his deep gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one.
"Brother Zhang Ping, I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
The beggar looked a little complicated just now, and said to Zhang Ping: "We people are spurned by others on weekdays, and now we have to risk our lives to defend the city for them, I don't think it's worth it!"
Zhang Ping smiled, his eyes were a little gentle, and he said loudly: "I know what you mean, the city guards are not here, it is really difficult for our group of people to do this kind of thing." ”
He paused, and continued: "But there are some things that must be done!"
Zhang Ping's tone became soft, and he said softly: "Let me first tell you why I came here. ”
"The night before yesterday, I came to Qingshan City because there was a king in the city, and he robbed the daughter of Aunt Li's family in the north of the city. ”
"Now that her family is in trouble, how can we sit idly by, this morning I took my brothers to find the king and the dignitary, but I didn't expect that the king was despicable and shameless, I was designed by him, and I was poisoned in the chest. ”
At this time, the five palace guards who followed Zhang Ping had a slightly embarrassed expression, they were coerced by Chu Fan, and they also came to guard the city, and when they heard Zhang Ping's words, their hearts were a little complicated.
Zhang Ping continued: "It was a man named Chu Hu who killed Wang Yuanwai and saved me and a group of brothers, and before, he used to squander his wealth and took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets to let my beggar brothers in Qingshan City have a full meal. ”
"Therefore, I brought everyone here to defend the city to repay the favor, this matter was handed over to my beggar gang by Brother Chu, and the benefactor cannot bear it. ”
"Second, if the wolves enter the city, and the people in the city enter the wolf's mouth, some of them have given a bowl of porridge, and some have given a steamed bun, if it weren't for these people, how many of us beggars would have starved to death?"
"They are kind to my beggars, I can't let these people die, so this city, I, Zhang Ping, have to defend it desperately!"
"If you brothers, there are people in this city who want to protect, please stay and fight side by side with me Zhang Ping, if you don't want to, you can leave, Zhang Ping will not stop you. ”
After Zhang Ping finished speaking, everyone fell silent, some lowered their heads and did not want to look him in the eyes, and some were thinking.
Ah Wu listened to Zhang Ping's words, and couldn't help but think of Aunt Li's figure in his mind, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
He has been living on the streets since he was ten years old, and he has been asking for food in Qingshan City for ten years, how many times he has been hungry, it was Aunt Li who brought him home to give him food, and Xiaocui, who did not dislike his status as a beggar at all, and called him brother.
Without Aunt Li, he would have starved to death on the streets, and he would not have met Zhang Ping and became an elite disciple of the beggar gang. For their sake, this city must also be defended.
"Okay, Brother Zhang Ping, I'll stay!" the beggar said loudly.
"Lao Li of the bun shop in the south of the city, gave me three buns when I was about to starve to death, which is considered to save my life, if the wolf enters the city, his family is probably the first to suffer, my rotten life, stay here today!
"The little doll of the Zhang family once called me an uncle and gave me a piece of candy, I want to stay, and never let the wolf cub enter the city to hurt her!"
Some people shouted loudly and angrily, saying who they cared about and cheering themselves up, while others whispered silently and secretly made up their minds.
"Xiaolan, are you doing well with him, the wolf is coming, I'm here to guard, don't worry." ”
"I have been looked down upon since I was a child, and today I am a hero to him, and I will not lose if I die!"
"Brother Zhang Ping, my brother is moral, and he will never run away!"
There were voices behind him one after another, and they each had their own reasons for staying and fighting with Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping nodded and said, "Okay! Those who have martial arts will kill wolves with me above, and the rest of the people who are willing to stay will take swords and guns and guard below, don't let the wolves into the city!"
When the people received the order, they dispersed.
Nearly thirty beggars stood on the city wall, they were all elite disciples of the beggar gang, who had learned martial arts, a few of them followed Zhang Ping to Qingshan City, and the rest were all local beggars in Qingshan City.
The five guards who were coerced by Chu Fan also stood beside Zhang Ping, and by this time they had no way to retreat, and besides, they thought that even a group of beggars had stood up, and if they retreated, wouldn't they even be as good as beggars, so they all held steel knives and waited for them.
By noon, there was not a single cloud in the sky, the scorching sun was high, the heat gradually increased, the stone bricks of the city wall were burned hot, and sweat flowed down everyone's heads.
If it weren't for the people standing on the wall at this time who were all people with martial arts, I was afraid that they would faint.
Zhang Ping stood tall at the head of the city, his eyes were deep, and he glanced ahead.
"It's coming. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and looked in the direction that Zhang Ping was pointing.
In the distance, smoke and dust filled the air, as if a group of creatures were rushing towards them.
"It's a wolf, it's really a wolf. Someone couldn't help but say.
Zhang Ping took a deep breath, Chu Fan's words were true, there would really be someone who drove the wolves to attack.
"Everyone, prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!"
The usually humble beggars let out the roar of soldiers at this moment.
...
"Roar, sons, up!"
On the back of a wolf, a man was dressed in a red robe, his hair stood on end, and the two teeth in his mouth were exposed, slender and sharp.
From time to time, he stood up and howled on the wolf's back.
At this time, he could not help but be amazed to see that the city gate had been closed and the city walls were full of people.
"It turned out to be discovered, and it seems that this group of people is not so stupid. ”
"But it doesn't matter, my sons will tear you to shreds!"
......
Three minutes ago, in the north of the city, Chu Fan climbed to the top of the city alone and looked into the distance.
In the city, a few people looked at Chu Fan and talked about it.
"No, this man with a tiger head mask has been standing here for a while, is there really a wolf?"
"Who knows, but there was a group of people who were beaten by him just now......"
Shopkeeper Li climbed up against the scorching sun, panting in his mouth.
"Basically, the people in the city know about it, and they should hide everything, but they just looked around, and none of the martial arts halls in the city were willing to come. ”
Chu Fan smiled, maybe those people had already come, just now a large group of people came to the city gate and wanted to get out of the city, but they were all beaten away by him.
"It's okay, you can go too, I'll be here myself. ”
Shopkeeper Li wiped the beads of sweat from his face and frowned.
"You.... Don't you need my buddies to help?"
He knew that Chu Fan's strength was amazing, but he couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought that he would have to face hundreds of wolves alone.
"Tell them to keep order down there and not to be too messy. Chu Fan said lightly.
In the distance, smoke and dust gradually rose, and there seemed to be a vibration in my ears.
"Let's go, you're here to influence me. ”
Shopkeeper Li looked a little panicked, nodded, and went down.
The wolves were running wildly on the ground, and it was indeed orderly, and the formation faintly had the rudiments of a military formation.
In the center of the wolf pack, there was also a man in a red robe, with black skin, white hair, and long and dense eyebrows.
"Huh, anyone?"
The red-robed man licked his lips, revealing two long sharp teeth.
"Children, the blood sacrifice is about to begin!"
