Chapter Eighty-Five: But a Dead Man
Looking at the burly soldiers in gold armor and silver helmets walking slowly in the distance, Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and waited for him.
The identity of the other party is too mysterious, and there are too many strange things related to it, Zhang Yuanyi has a very strong feeling, this guy in front of him is likely to be the key to this place, and Zhang Yuanyi can't afford to take it lightly.
The burly young man walked up to Zhang Yuanyi and said with a smile: "Seeing that the two of you are very raw, you think they are guests from our village, right?"
Zhang Yuanyi replied: "Is Your Excellency the child who came back from the end of the war that Uncle Wang remembered?"
The burly young man scratched his head and introduced himself: "My name is Wang Jun, and the old man Wang you are talking about is my father. ”
The golden luster armor, a silver spear in his hand, and a beast head shoulder guard on his shoulder, looking at this person's outfit, Zhang Yuanyi can roughly guess that this person's status in the army is definitely not low.
Zhang Yuan hugged his fists and said, "Hello General Wang." ”
The burly young man saw Zhang Yuan wearing a green shirt, and the young man standing next to him had a smile on the corner of his mouth, this outfit was different from the clothes he had seen, and he was obviously an outsider.
However, since he was his father's guest, he didn't want to offend too much, and waved his hand and said, "General Wang can't be called, just a small scout." ”
The so-called scouts are those who are specially responsible for patrolling various dangers and protective facilities, waiting for the arrest of thieves, also known as scouts who go out to investigate.
Scouts are extremely powerful and dangerous in the early and late stages of warfare, and they can be regarded as a position with great responsibility.
Zhang Yuanyi gave a thumbs up, nodded and said, "It's actually a scout, I really think that Your Excellency must be extremely skilled!"
As a scout, you don't have to have a strong combat ability, but you must be extremely agile and good at stealing, otherwise it will always be extremely miserable to be easily discovered by the enemy.
There have been many instances in history of scouts being arrested and tortured to extract confessions, and in order to be able to extract some secrets from the scouts, the ten tortures were used to the extreme.
However, when Zhang Yuan looked at the burly figure of this general, he thought that the other party would not be a trick who could run away and hide.
Wang Jun said with a smile: "The skills are quite feasible, but they are still much worse than the other generals in the army." ”
He continued: "Let's not talk about it yet, I'm still in a hurry to go home to see my father, and I will definitely have a drink with the two of you when I have time, and talk freely!"
With that, he walked out into the depths of the village in high spirits.
After so many years of fighting abroad, how could he not be physically and mentally exhausted, how could he not be homesick, Wang Jun lived in the countryside from below, had no quarrel with the world, and his concept of the country was extremely shallow, and the only thing that could make him firm on the battlefield was only the old father at home who was still waiting for him.
He can't let his father die uncared for!
When Wang Jun walked away, Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Obviously a dead person, what he does is too much like a real person, you say that God is not magical." ”
This guy before, I didn't know how to judge, he completely ignored him, just said hello and talked to Zhang Yuanyi, and didn't give him a chance to introduce himself at all, he was a little annoyed.
Compared with Chen Mo's strangeness, Zhang Yuanyi felt more real because of the fact that his spiritual power was still there, and in this guy, Zhang Yuanyi could clearly feel an extremely strong breath of death.
In fact, there is a trace of death in other people, but compared to this guy, it is simply a small thing, Zhang Yuanyi has never seen a person with such a strong death breath.
From a distance, Wang Jun looked like a guy with black smoke all over his body, and every move seemed to decay and perish.
Zhang Yuanyi took Chen Mo to walk around the village at will, although the village was small, it was also very magical to support an iron shop.
Although the blacksmith shop looked tattered and rotten, the fire inside was fierce and intense.
It stands to reason that how can such a small village be able to meet the normal operation of an iron shop, Zhang Yuanyi opened the curtain and walked in with curiosity.
As soon as I entered the shop, I saw a guy with a naked upper body, pounding a piece of red-hot iron by the burning stove, sweating profusely!
Chen Mo just wanted to open his mouth to interrupt the other party's hammer iron action, Zhang Yuanyi made a hand raising movement, stopping Chen Mo, and the two stood quietly on the side for a long time, until the other party's iron embryo prototype gradually formed, and when he took a short break, he saw Zhang Yuan and the two of them, and then stopped moving.
The hammer iron man took a rough towel and wiped the sweat on his body, raised his hand, pointed to the side and said: "My surname is Zhang, just call me Zhang Blacksmith, I was busy striking iron just now and didn't notice the arrival of the two, I have a lot to bear, let's go outside to talk." ”
When the three of them came outside, Blacksmith Zhang said, "You two are not locals. ”
There is no way, Zhang Yuanyi and Chen Mo's clothes are too strange, and it is no wonder that everyone looks at the two of them with strange eyes.
Zhang Yuanyi replied: "It's really not from this place. ”
Blacksmith Zhang looked at the two and said, "That's fine, what kind of equipment do you two need?"
Zhang Yuanyi said: "The two of us didn't buy utensils, but we just saw that the village was small and there was a blacksmith shop, so I was curious to come here to have a look." And speaking of which, we are still very fateful, and we are also surnamed Zhang, and we are destined for one. ”
When Blacksmith Zhang heard that the other party's surname was Zhang, he immediately smiled, and he said: "It's rare to meet a 'family' here!"
Most of the people here are surnamed Wang, so there is also a title of Wangjia Village, Zhang Blacksmith came when he was young, and then when he was older, he wanted to find a stable place to settle down, and he has been making a living by striking iron here.
Blacksmith Zhang put out two stools and said, "Sit down, you can tell me that our Zhang family is a large number of people, and you can even meet one or two here!"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Isn't it, there are many saints in the entire Zhang family along the way." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" said Blacksmith Zhang, "Let's just say that the famous Mr. Zhang Daoling is not our Zhang family?"
Zhang Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, this person actually knew the master, how could this be possible?
According to Zhang Yuanyi's guess, this place should be a thousand-year-old Hui faction area, but once even Zhang Daoling is involved, then the year will have to be pushed forward many, many times, Zhang Daoling's years of seclusion in the town, according to where Zhang Shi knows, at least tens of thousands of years.
If this is the case, the years in this place will be much longer, this matter will be put aside for a while, and it needs to be understood slowly, and it cannot be rushed, Zhang Yuanyi has other doubts in his heart at this moment.
Zhang Yuanyi asked: "Master Zhang, I see that the quality of your iron tools is of excellent quality, and most of them are swords and swords, do you need these in this village?"
Blacksmith Zhang smiled: "Of course, it is impossible to sell it to the villagers, there are few people here, they are all farmers and farmers, what do you want these things for?" ”
He leaned towards Zhang Yuanyi, and lowered his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, our equipment is going to be transported outside, and this is the most profitable this year!"
As he said this, Blacksmith Zhang's thumb and forefinger rubbed lightly, squirming.
Looks like he's still a war fortune guy.
Chen Mo smiled and asked, "Then who will tell you about the weapons to be transported?"
This is also what Zhang Yuanyi wants to know, how can he get in touch with the outside world?
After all, he didn't earn any righteous and bright money, Zhang Blacksmith was a little stunned in his heart, glanced at him, and asked Zhang Yuan cautiously: "...... this guy"
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "It's also our Zhang family, named Zhang San." ”
Blacksmith Zhang smiled: "Oh, then I won't let you tell you, I have a young man here, who specially transports these tools for me, and his hands and feet are very sharp, and now there has been no problem after so many years." ”
There is still such a person, but Zhang Yuan thought that if he continued to ask, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the other party, and it seemed that he still needed to investigate slowly.
Chen Mo casually took out a small dagger from the box full of utensils, and between the rotation of his fingers, the small dagger was flexible as if he had danced a dance in his hand, trembling and turning, and the cold light was bursting.
Blacksmith Zhang's eyelids fluttered when he saw the other party's knife in his hand, and quipped: "I said Brother Zhang, you won't be an outlaw fanatic, right?"
Chen Mo, who changed his name to Zhang San, grinned, "It's just some showmanship, where is there any real kung fu." ”
Zhang Yuan stepped on Chen Mo's instep under a stool secretly, and the dagger that Chen Mo said fell on the table with a bang, and he bared his teeth and grinned: "Look...... I'll just say it's a showcase, but it can't stand up to scrambling. ”
At this time, a ragged and unkempt sloppy man, carrying a pot of wine in his hand, staggered over, probably because he was drunk, walked staggeringly, and bumped into Chen Mo!
Chen Mo's figure turned, his hands raised, he held the other party, and asked with a smile: "This brother, you have to take a good look at the road when you walk!"
The sloppy man raised his eyes hidden behind his dry hair slightly, saw Chen Mo clearly, and pushed him away violently, "Get out!"
After all, Chen Mo was born as a monk, even if he was sealed at the moment, his physique was still extremely good, but the other party had not pushed Chen Mo to it, but it was like being hit by a mountain, and he stumbled and fell to the ground!
Chen Mo hurriedly stepped forward to help the sloppy man with a fake smile, and said with "concern" on his lips: "I'll just say brother, don't walk around casually if you're drunk." ”
Zhang Yuan stepped out, crushed the knife that Chen Mo hid in his sleeve, and said secretly: "Unless you really don't want to die, don't touch my bottom line!"
Chen Mo smiled lightly under the pain, "Cut! It's just some dead people, why are you so serious?"
Although he said so, Chen Mo still let go of his hand.
