Chapter 179, Chasing Soldiers
After the man finished speaking, he returned the token to Lin Zheng with both hands, turned around and got on the horse, and a group of Qi soldiers put down the goods in their hands and walked towards the man quickly.
"What are you doing?" the man shouted when he saw this, and all the Qi soldiers were stunned.
Lin Zheng also lowered his eyes, Wang Zixuan and Yan Liang were ready to make a move at any time.
"Messed up, I don't know how to help people clean up?" the man then said a sentence that dispelled the vigilance of the three of them.
"Yes......" When the Qi soldiers heard this, they hurriedly turned around and refolded the messy cloth and re-covered the open box, as if nothing had happened before.
Lin Zheng didn't say a word during the whole process, but it should be like this as soon as a copy of it, only Wang Zixuan and Yan Liang knew that this was another test of Lin Zheng, if Lin Zheng had the slightest intention of showing timidity, the man would immediately call the soldiers who almost surrounded him and the others to do it.
"Let's go when I'm done, I still have something to do, and a lot of supplies haven't been purchased yet. Lin Zheng waved his hand and said impatiently.
"It stands to reason that I should have carefully entertained Your Excellency here, but the current military affairs of the great enemy are also numerous, so I will not delay Your Excellency. After the man clenched his fists, he turned around and left with a group of soldiers.
After the man led the troops away, the boss stepped forward timidly: "Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to have a relationship in the army, but this time it's thanks to you." ”
The boss couldn't see the mutual temptation between Lin Zheng and the man, but seeing that the originally aggressive man became submissive after Lin Zheng took out the token, he expected that Lin Zheng's background must not be simple, and there was a little more awe in his original polite attitude.
"It's just a small thing, let's procure supplies. Lin Zheng shook his head and handed the token to Wang Zixuan at the same time: "If there is something, show the token, which will save a lot of trouble." ”
"Okay, let's procure supplies. The boss nodded hurriedly, turned around and ordered to his men: "You go to the trading house to buy supplies, and we will wait for you at the back city gate." ”
At the end, the boss added: "Buy more good meat." ”
Obviously, Lin Zheng not only deceived the man on horseback, but also deceived Boss Yi, and Lin Zheng was happy to accept the change in Boss's attitude.
"Let's get in the car. "Lin Zheng's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he still needs Wang Zixuan or Yan Liang to help him return to the carriage.
After that, the trip to Jinlu City was very smooth, Lin Zheng and others did not encounter trouble at the back city gate, and the person in charge of purchasing supplies also came back smoothly with supplies, and everyone quickly left the city.
The man on horseback watched Lin Zheng and the others go out of the city, raised his hand and wrote a letter, the general content of which was how he met the wounded former guards of General Qianniu Longwu, and then asked his subordinates to send them to the palace of Qi.
Although he was deceived, he didn't believe Lin Zheng after all.
After leaving Jinlu City, Lin Zheng and the others were on the road for several days.
The difference is that the boss was extremely attentive along the way, and the fire was excellent, which was a bumpy and tiring journey, which made Lin Zheng gain three points of weight.
"Boss Wang, we have arrived at Qinglin City, and after passing this city, we will walk a little way to the territory of Zhao Kingdom. The boss rode into the carriage and said with a smile through the window.
"Are we going to Qinglin City to buy some supplies?" Wang Zixuan leaned over and asked.
"Yes, and there are mountains behind Qinglin City, the road is uneven and difficult to walk, Brother Lin is not in good health, it would be better to buy more cushions." The boss smiled with a slight stammer, he was thinking that Lin Shan's lame man had such a background, so would the words that Wang Zixuan boasted about when he drank with Wang Zixuan for the first time be true......
"Boss has a heart. Wang Zixuan smiled.
"It's nothing. Boss Yi smiled again, and then waved his hand: "Then Wang Zixuan, I'll go back first, and we'll talk about it in Qinglin City." ”
"Good. Wang Zixuan replied again.
After the boss left, Lin Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "This boss is really slick in his work, and everyone is so clever." ”
"Which one can run goods in the war?" Wang Zixuan shook his head and chuckled lightly: "It's a pity that this boss is destined to get nothing from us." ”
Lin Zheng nodded in agreement, as soon as they entered the territory of Zhao Kingdom, they would immediately hide, and it would be impossible for the boss to get any benefits from them anyway.
After coming to Qinglin City, Wang Zixuan did buy a cushion for Lin Zheng to put under him.
"I asked, there are indeed many mountains behind, and the road is full of potholes and gravel, so it is better to buy two more. With that, Wang Zixuan took out another cushion and gave it to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang was obviously still angry about Wang Zixuan's disability of Lin Zheng, and rejected Wang Zixuan's kindness.
After a while, Boss Yan's face was slightly gloomy, and he came over with his caravan: "Wang Zixuan, the supplies have been bought." ”
"Why is Boss Yan's face not so good?Did you encounter something?" Wang Zixuan asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, an army came to Qinglin City for some reason, and it was a little rough when we were interrogated, but it was no big deal. The boss shook his head and smiled bitterly, it is inevitable that the merchant will run the goods, and if he is angry for two days because of this kind of thing, it will be too much to lose.
"Army ......" Wang Zixuan turned his head and glanced at Lin Zheng, both of them showing a serious look in their eyes.
"Shang doesn't fight with officials, it's okay, let's go. The boss waved his hand, turned around and got on his horse and led everyone out of the city.
Inside the carriage, Lin Zheng sighed helplessly: "This army is probably coming for us, otherwise how could they send an army to this Qinglin City when the two countries are on good terms?"
"I'm afraid it's the last time I showed my token in Jinlu City. Wang Zixuan sighed lightly: "If you can't reach Zhao Country smoothly, it's a big deal that we will rush into Zhao Kingdom, but then we will be wronged to hide in the mountains for a few days." ”
"That's all there is to it. Lin Zheng didn't really make much difference whether he was hiding in the mountains or in the city, but if the seal of Zhao Guo was missing from the customs clearance documents, no matter what he did, it would be more troublesome.
Not long after Lin Zheng and the others left Qinglin City, the Qi army chased them out of Qinglin City, and the leader was Zhou Kui, the general of Qi Qianniu Longwu.
When someone used his token to fake the tiger, Zhou Kui's first reaction was impossible, he hadn't left the imperial city for many years, and the token had never been lost, how could someone take his token to make a fortune outside?
But suddenly, Zhou Kui suddenly remembered that he had indeed changed the token recently, and his last token was lost when he assassinated Zhao Lu.
Recalling the scene of that night, Zhou Kui's blood was about to freeze all over his body, and the biting cold bone marrow gushed out, Zhou Kui did not dare to delay, and immediately reported the matter to Taifu.
When Taifu learned of this, he immediately guessed the purpose of the person holding the token, so he asked Zhou Kui to lead the army to intercept this person.
In Taifu's thoughts, since these people need Zhou Kui's token to pass smoothly, they naturally won't have too strong strength, not to mention that there is a cripple among them, he really can't think of any reason for Lin Zheng and others to pretend to be lame, so under these remarks, Zhou Kuicai put his mind at ease and led the troops to intercept it.
But the two would never have imagined that this person who would not be too strong in their eyes was Wang Zixuan and Lin Zheng who made them frightened.
Although the speed of Lin Zheng and the others was fast, they were pulling the goods in the end, and the ground was not flat, so it was easy to break the stones, so under the care of the boss, the caravan was always moving very gently.
On the other side, the distance between the two is also quickly narrowed.
"It's coming. Wang Zixuan said suddenly.
"The army is coming?" Lin Zheng asked knowing that Wang Zixuan's perceptual ability was transcendent.
"At most tea time, they will be able to catch up with us. Wang Zixuan nodded, estimating the speed of the two and said.
"There is still an hour before the first city in the territory of Zhao Kingdom. Lin Zheng lowered his brows, knowing that he couldn't hide, so he picked up the prisoner and prepared to take advantage of this incident to lay out a formation.
"No, you don't. Wang Zixuan grabbed Lin Zheng's hand holding the talisman.
"The army is not very numerous, only a few hundred light horsemen, and the leader is still an old acquaintance, so I will go to settle him. Wang Zixuan and Lin Zheng didn't know the specific number of troops before, but they only knew about it from the boss, and they were relieved to see that the number was only a few hundred.
"It doesn't seem to know who we are. Lin Zheng said, suddenly laughing at himself: "Also, they must not think of any reason for us to pretend to be lame, plus we only showed our tokens to solve the trouble, and we should be despised as well." ”
Lin Zheng smiled relaxed.
But Wang Zixuan's heart sank when he heard it.
"Protect the days. After Wang Zixuan turned his head to Yan Liang and finished speaking, he quietly jumped out of the carriage.
"This trip to Zhao Guo is only afraid that it will be exposed early. After Wang Zixuan left, Lin Zheng sighed and said.
"It's going to be fine, my subordinates will protect my lords. Yan Liang said seriously.
Lin Zheng smiled lightly: "It's almost time, right? If you have time, you will go to Kunlun to pick people back, no matter what you planned before, it doesn't matter now, no one is important." ”
"After coming back from Zhao Kingdom. Yan Liang said, with a little more expectation in his eyes.
On the other side, Zhou Kui was galloping at a rapid pace with five hundred light horses, and the road full of time also caused him a lot of obstacles, but the speed was extremely fast after all.
Suddenly, Zhou Kui saw a figure standing in the middle of the road in front of him.
"Get out of the way!" Zhou Kui shouted and reminded him twice, and when he saw that the figure didn't move, he said in his heart Since you are looking for death, you can't complain about me, so he is ready to take someone to press over directly.
But when he got closer, Zhou Kui saw the familiar face that made his soul come to life, the face that had been painted on the wanted notice and pasted all over the streets and alleys of Qi Kingdom.
"Wang Zixuan!" Zhou Kui shouted tremblingly, but he instantly grabbed the horse rope and quickly stopped.
