Zong Zheng led the old sweaty and bloody horse, step by step to the camp gate, there was no trace of the Zhongshan Eight Wolves in the camp, Zong Zheng thought about returning the horse to the mountains, and by the way, the Zhongshan Eight Wolves were brought out in the convenient places in the mountains.

Only a few miles away from the camp, Zong Zheng was targeted by the beggar gang disciples and followed him all the way.

Zong Zheng knew that there was someone following him, and he thought it was the person of the Eight Wolves of Zhongshan, so he was not too vigilant. He led the horse to a lush mountain forest, it is late autumn, the leaves of the forest are yellow, the vines are discolored, fortunately there is no winter, although the food is not abundant and delicious, but for this horse, it is not enough to worry about survival, in addition, this place is quite suitable for the survival of hidden shields, and it is very safe to release wild raising.

Although the conditions in the mountains and wilderness are difficult, there is no better place to think about it, than to be slaughtered alive and have two lives.

Zong Zheng looked around, chose a suitable place, and then stopped, untying all the reins from the horse.

The horse lowered his head slightly, his big eyes stared at Zong Zheng stupidly, Zong Zheng stroked the mane on the top of its head, sighed, and held its head tightly into his arms, this feeling reminded him of the divine wolf he hadn't seen for many days, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After a short farewell ceremony, Zong Zheng patted the horse on the neck and shouted to him, "Go! Live well!" and pushed the horse away.

The horse seemed to know what Zongzheng meant, so he walked along the forest path to the depths of the woods, and at the last moment when his vision was hidden, he glanced back at Zongzheng, his eyes were full of reluctance, and after a while, he resolutely turned back and disappeared into the dense forest.

When the horse faded out of sight, Zong Zheng turned around and shouted loudly to the empty mountain forest: "Come out!

In the distance, there was a wave of clusters, and three beggar disciples came out, and the three of them stepped forward.

Zong Zheng was surprised for a while, he knew that someone was following him all the way, but he thought it was the eight wolves of Zhongshan, but he didn't think it was three ragged guys.

Seeing the three of them staring at him viciously, Zong Zheng realized that they might be the gang that wanted to hunt down him.

"Why are you following me?" asked Zongzheng.

The person in charge of the three did not answer, but shouted: "The public enemy of martial arts, everyone will kill them when they see it, go together!"

Then the three of them hit Zong Zheng, how could these three people be Zong Zheng's opponents, but Zong Zheng wanted to take this opportunity to interrogate right and wrong, so he showed mercy to his subordinates again and again.

The three of them didn't give up, so Zong Zheng had no choice but to shoot harder and knock the three of them to the ground.

"I ask you, why did you kill me?" asked Zong Zheng, pointing to the three people lying on the ground,

"I know it, so why ask. The man in charge replied angrily, rather unruly.

"You tell me what to say!" Zong Zheng pointed to the person in charge and said sharply,

The person in charge had a resolute face, but he had a bit of arrogance, and he said without fear: "You wait, our martial arts factions will never let you go." ”

Saying that, he quickly got up and fled with the other two, Zong Zheng was about to fly forward to stop him, but he didn't want three stones to fly across the three of them, and directly pierced the chest and lungs of the three people, and before Zong Zheng could react, the three of them spurted a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Zong Zheng looked at the three corpses on the ground, quite annoyed, and shouted angrily: "Zhongshan Eight Wolves, come out, I know it's you, come out for me." ”

The second eldest of the eight wolves in Zhongshan stepped on the branches, and the spirit flew more and more to Zong Zheng.

Zong Zheng looked stunned and asked sharply: "Why do you want to kill them? I have something to ask them!"

The second child was unmoved, in his eyes, killing a few Song people was a convenient and ordinary thing, as long as he thought that there was no reason to kill.

"If you don't kill them, they will kill you sooner or later, but fortunately I am hiding behind, otherwise the people they sent back to report would have found a large number of masters to take your life. The second child explained coldly,

Zong Zheng listened to the second child's unyielding tone, looked at the second child's indifferent, indifferent and ruthless face, and knew that it was pointless to deal with him, so he didn't say more, thinking that the business was important, so he said to the second child: "You came just in time, I have something to look for you." ”

"What's the matter?" asked the second child.

Zong Zheng knew how powerful the second child was, so he didn't care if there was anyone who was following him, so he told the second child about his plan in person.

The stakes are very high, the second child did not dare to make his own opinion, he told Zong Zheng that for the situation of King Mo Nan's death, the Zhongshan Eight Wolves promised not to go to disturb the situation, and would continue to protect Kublai Khan in secret, but the Zhongshan Eight Wolves and Zong Zheng cooperated to lead away the people in the martial arts, and they had to go back and report to the valley master before they could make a decision.

When Zong Zheng heard the second child's reply, he couldn't help but sigh at the shrewdness of the valley master, Kublai Khan's matter was related to his own interests, and the Zhongshan Eight Wolves could naturally call the shots, and the interests of the Zhongshan Eight Wolves were not clear about the matter of coordinating to lead away the people in the martial arts, so how could the Zhongshan Eight Wolves call the shots.

Zong Zheng thought that the time was pressing, and he also knew that the valley master was shrewd and ruthless, so he didn't care so much, so he asked the second child to give an answer within two days, the second child had no objection, everything was settled, and the second child disappeared into the dense forest one by one.

"What a light skill!" Zong Zheng looked at the lonely and empty mountains and forests, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

After the second child left, Zong Zheng looked at the three corpses lying on the ground, and felt guilty in his heart, although he had no intention of killing them, but, in the final analysis, they also died because of themselves, thinking of this, Zong Zheng bowed deeply to the three corpses, sincerely apologized, thinking that this place should not stay for a long time, so he left decisively.

The eyeliner scattered by the beggar gang was not connected, which naturally attracted the attention of the elders of the beggar gang, Tan Liqiu led people to secretly look for clues, and finally found four corpses one after another, and the injuries suffered by the person who reported the news on the way back did not point to it, Tan Liqiu could not determine who did it, when he saw the three corpses in the forest that were pierced by stones through the heart and lungs, Tan Liqiu remembered the last time Kublai Khan was assassinated, and remembered that Zongzheng's so-called master was used to using stones, and couldn't help but point the finger at Zongzheng again.

After Tan Liqiu went back to report the matter, the resentment of the martial arts factions against Zongzheng's slaughter of martial arts people deepened.

After the second child brought back the information that Zong Zheng said, the eldest wrote Zong Zheng's request on the letter and handed it over to the white eagle to send it to the valley lord of the Beauty Valley, but there was no reply for a while.

On this side, Zongzheng is planning properly, and on the other hand, Zhang Hongyan has also arranged Fenghua Temple properly, and several of Zongzheng's strategies are going smoothly in secret, but Zongzheng is still worried about the situation of fraudulent death, so he wants to visit Liu Bingzhong.

For this experienced and deep person, Zong Zheng has no foundation in his heart, and has always been puzzled, thinking that he must deal with him in the future, he can't help but feel a little uneasy, the so-called 'knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles', therefore, Zong Zheng wants to visit and consult this wise man well, in order to benefit in the future.

In late autumn, the day passes quickly, the night falls quickly, and the clear night sky is full of stars, but it is clear and transparent.

The barracks are also very lively, and the soldiers are eating horse meat and living a good life, but they are very happy.

Zong Zheng didn't know where Liu Bingzhong's camp was, so he wanted to find Zhang Honggang to guide him.

After dealing with the killing of horses today, Zhang Honggang immediately came to Zhang Xi's camp, he is a filial son, but he also understands the principle of the country before the family, so every time he is busy with military affairs, he will immediately rush to Zhang Xi's side and serve carefully.

Kublai Khan felt sorry for Zhang Honggang and asked him to take care of the old general Zhang Xi wholeheartedly, and the affairs of the army could be temporarily handed over to others, but Zhang Honggang came out of Zhang Xi ** in the end, and he was strong and stubborn, and he was very principled, so he refused to do so, and said to himself: "The military affairs are state affairs, and taking care of the father is a family matter. ”

Kublai Khan admired the character of Zhang Xi's father and son, so he did not mention the matter again, but secretly confessed, and ordered him some lighter and more idle tasks so that he could free up more time to take care of Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi's body is hard-boned, and after taking wood blood exhaustion, he has recovered well, and he has passed the dangerous period, and he has no life, but he needs to recuperate in the near future.

Zong Zheng knew that Zhang Honggang was in Zhang Xi's tent, so he went straight to Zhang Xi's tent, and when he got into the tent, Zhang Honggang was really guarding Zhang Xi's side, and Zong Zheng saw that General Zhang Xi was still asleep, so he made a gesture to Zhang Honggang and told him to come out.

Zhang Honggang got up lightly and tiptoed out of the tent.

"Mei Shaoxia is looking for me, I don't know what's going on?" Zhang Honggang looked at Zong Zheng and asked politely,

Zong Zheng immediately thanked him: "Thank you for Zhang Gongzi's gift of horses." ”

Zhang Honggang immediately took Zongzheng's hand and replied: "It's a trivial matter, how can it be worth mentioning, Mei Shaoxia saved my father's life is a great favor, and I give a horse is a small favor, before the great grace, how can Xiaohui be enough, not to mention that it is still a bad horse, so far, I still feel really ashamed." ”

When Zong Zheng heard what Zhang Honggang said, he suddenly remembered General Zhang Xi's illness, so he asked with concern: "I don't know how Ling Zun is now?"

Zhang Honggang didn't have the anxiety before, but replied calmly: "My father has woken up and has no worries about his life, thank you Mei Shaoxia for your concern." ”

"That's good, I don't know if you're free now?" Zong Zheng asked, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, after all, Zhang Honggang was a general in the army, and he was taking care of his seriously injured father.

"Mei Shaoxia, is there something wrong, but it doesn't matter, I have already dealt with today's matter, and there is nothing important at the moment. Zhang Honggang saw that Zong Zheng seemed to have concerns, so he replied heartily,

Zong Zheng saw that Zhang Honggang was warm and hearty, so he bluntly said that he wanted to visit General Liu Bingzhong, hoping that Zhang Honggang would lead the way. ”

As he spoke, he took Zongzheng to Liu Bingzhong's tent, Zhang Honggang stood not far from the tent, pointed to a tent in front of him and said: "Mei Shaoxia, that is General Liu's tent, I won't go in, my father still needs to be taken care of, I hope to spend more time with him." ”

Zong Zheng also understood, so he politely thanked Zhang Honggang.
