Chapter 109: Besieging and killing the four ghosts of Xiangxi
The first swordsman of the mighty Dongying, Sleep Maniac Shiro, died like this, dying at the hands of a Han man, blood dripping down the blade, and it didn't take long to stain a large area of snow red on the ground. Just when Shiro fell down, a blue booklet peeked out of his arms, Zhang Zheng bent down to pick up the booklet, opened it and saw that it was the secret book of "Phantom Sword", which was purely accidental, the booklet was only four or five pages, all written in Chinese, and there were some lifelike villains mixed in it. He put away the cheats of "Phantom Sword" and said with emotion: "Now it is also considered to be the return of things to their original owners." "Phantom Sword" was originally transmitted from Middle Earth to Dongying, although it shined in the hands of Sleeping Maniac Shiro, but now it is in the hands of Zhang Zheng, which may be the fate in the underworld.
Unintentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade.
......
"Autumn Breeze, is Dongchang's ship still at the Kyoto dock?" asked Zhang Zheng. Qiu Feng returned: "It's still there, and they don't dare to disobey the orders of the adults." ”
"That's good. He tore off the corner of his cloak to wipe the blood from the knife, then put the long knife back into its scabbard, and wanted to turn away, but thinking that Shiro was also a character, it was not good to be in such a violent corpse wilderness.
"Boom" Zhang Zheng raised his hand and blasted out a palm, blasting the snow into a big pit, pushing it with internal force, putting the body of the sleeping mad Shiro into the pit and covering it with snow, and since then the first swordsman of Fuso has been sleeping here.
......
After doing this, he raised his legs and stepped out of the bamboo forest along the muddy path, the autumn wind followed, and disappeared into the wind and snow one after the other, just as he had come.
......
Three days later, the two came to the Kyoto dock, and the big ship of the East Factory was waiting early, and it was still the same merchant last time. The long sail was raised, riding the wind and waves, and the big ship slowly sailed towards the east.
On the empty deck, Zhang Zheng leaned on the side of the ship, facing Fusang, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to see the Yanagi Dojo at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and there was a girl in a white fox fur who was sitting quietly by the clear lake, the cold wind was howling, and the snow was falling.
"Yukihime, goodbye. He muttered to himself, letting the biting wind of the sea blow against him. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Zhang Zheng is not hard-hearted, it is impossible not to have a little emotion, but unfortunately everything is illusory after all, and he doesn't want to take on a responsibility.
"My lord, it's windy at sea, so let's go to the cabin. Autumn Wind came over with his cloak and said softly. Zhang Zheng paused for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, took the cloak from her hand, tied it, and turned to follow the wooden ladder back to the bilge.
Life at sea always has only one main theme, boring, numb, the sailors repeat the same life every day, and the blue sea makes people want to vomit.
Zhang Zheng meditates and practices qi every day, or realizes the state of mind, and sometimes goes to the deck to blow the cold wind, and the days pass day by day. Because it was a cold winter, the speed of the sea ship was not fast, and the route from Dongying to Fujian that only took half a month took a full month this time.
The big ship docked in the huge moon harbor and landed from the deck to the shore, and a familiar breath came from his face, and he took a sharp breath to dispel the dizziness in his mind.
The merchant came to him and said respectfully: "My lord, there are still a few days before the festival, if the adults do not dislike it, you can go to the villain's mansion and sit down for the adults." The festival in his mouth is the Spring Festival, which is the most solemn festival in the Ming Dynasty, although the businessman is patting on the back, but he also wants to thank Zhang Zheng, this man just said a word, his status in the East Factory has improved a lot, with the protection of the head of the East Factory, the businessman has less trouble.
"No need, I'm going to rush back to the capital, and if I encounter any trouble in the future, I can go to the black-clothed arrow team. After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, he left from the dock with the autumn breeze, this world has nothing to worry about, he doesn't care about festivals or anything, Cao Zhengchun is urging him tightly, it is estimated that something happened to the East Factory.
It was a thousand miles from Fujian to Jingshi, but for a warrior like him, it only took a few days.
As a result, no one would have thought that the big stall head of the East Factory, which had disappeared for more than half a year, would appear again, and the people in the Central Plains martial arts thought that Zhang Zheng was seriously injured, but they didn't expect him to appear again, and he had been reborn and reached a higher level.
......
Four days later, the snowy city of Beijing, ushered in a man and a woman two people in white, stepping on the street paved with blue bricks, feeling the familiar atmosphere, the flow of people, rubbing shoulders one after another, the sound of selling is endless, echoing in every corner of the city, the Spring Festival is approaching, the peddlers and pawns have appeared on the streets, picking their favorite things.
It's a feeling that is very different from Fuso, and it can't help but make people feel reassured, like a long-lost wanderer returning to his hometown.
Zhang Zheng shuttled through the flow of people with the autumn breeze, and was squeezed to the side, so he had no choice but to run into the small alley on the side and come to the camp of the East Factory.
......
Cao Zhengchun got the news early, pinched the time to wait for him in the East Factory, and as soon as Zhang Zheng came in, a little eunuch came to pass the word and asked him to go to the main hall to discuss matters. Zhang Zheng untied the long knife, let Qiu Feng take it back to his courtyard, and followed the little eunuch to the main hall, sure enough, Cao Zhengchun was sitting on the top side, looking at him with blazing eyes and said:
"How has your cultivation progressed in the past six months?"
Zhang Zheng straightened up and said casually: "I have a lot of understanding, Dongying's sword technique has inspired me a lot, and I continue to fight with their top swordsmen, my sword technique has been upgraded to a bottleneck, but it is enough to deal with the world's first-class figures." He didn't say his record, for Cao Zhengchun, Zhang Zheng still had a trace of vigilance in his heart, and he didn't completely believe in this person, but the interests of the two sides did not conflict, and even the goals were the same, and they could still cooperate.
He asked, "I don't know if the Overseer is in a hurry to ask me to come back, but what is the important matter?"
Cao Zhengchun nodded and explained: "Since you left the Central Plains and went to Fusang, the Governor has begun to suppress Wan Sanqian and Zhu Ignorance, but they have gathered many martial arts masters, and instead of winning, Dongchang has lost a lot of manpower. I was dragged by Zhu Ignorance again, and I couldn't leave the capital, so Wan Sanqian took advantage of the loophole, he used a lot of money to buy the underworld killers, and wantonly assassinated Dongchang's subordinates.
The governor wanted to invite His Majesty, but unexpectedly, half of the ministers of the court and the central government were bribed by the two, and the emperor reduced the manpower of Dongchang instead. At present, more than half of the black-clothed arrow team has been damaged, and it can only be shrunk to the Beijing Division. In desperation, the Doge has no choice but to call you back. ”
This is a typical stealing chickens and rice, Cao Zhengchun was in turn ignored by Zhu and 13,000 generals, and only after losing troops did he think of calling back his most powerful generals.
Cao Zhengchun's face flashed with a ruthless color, and he said: "I got the news two days ago that 13,000 will come to the Dragon Protector Villa once, and this governor will mainly count his new and old hatreds together." ”
Zhang Zheng also wanted to take revenge, but he almost died at the hands of the four ghosts of Xiangxi, and it was not his style to take revenge, but the capital was the lair of the Dragon Villa, and he and Cao Zhengchun were not sure to defeat Zhu Wuzhi and the four ghosts of Xiangxi, and even failed miserably. Cao Zhengchun naturally had a plan, he said: "Tomorrow at noon, Wan 3 thousand will leave the capital, there are only the four ghosts of Xiangxi and thirty guards beside him, you and I will kill Wan 3 thousand and the four ghosts of Xiangxi first, Zhu Wuzhi will definitely come, and finally besiege and kill Zhu Wuzhi." ”
The plan is perfect, Zhang Zheng agrees, but the most important part is that it is necessary to deal with Wan Sanqian and the four ghosts of Xiangxi before Zhu Wuzhi rushes over, otherwise he will become a turtle in the urn in turn. As long as a person is dead, the crime is not just fabricated.
He said, "Then let these four fake ghosts all become real ghosts tomorrow." ”
The two discussed many details of the ambush, and Zhang Zhengcai pretended to hesitate and said: "I have a plan for the overseer, but I can achieve a hundred years of immortal achievements, I wonder if the overseer can hear it?"
"What is the policy?" Cao Zhengchun said curiously.
"The strategy of fixing the border and eliminating the Japanese. ”
"Tell me, Lord Bendo, listen. Cao Zhengchun is obviously interested, if he can really get rid of the Japanese invaders, then he will really be famous for eternity.
"Inside and out. He said mysteriously, and then told what he had seen and heard in Dongying, and finally said that he would form an alliance with Liu Sheng's heart to help him dominate the Dongying martial arts, and then the two sides would jointly hunt and kill the coastal ronin, and fundamentally put an end to the Japanese invaders. With Cao Zhengchun's thoughts, he quickly analyzed the pros and cons, no matter how he thought about it, the pros always outweighed the disadvantages, and he could attract a powerful boost, in the face of this temptation, Cao Zhengchun couldn't resist at all, although he was dissatisfied with Zhang Zheng's assertion, but he still agreed.
However, it is necessary to have more manpower to send out after the ambush is successful, which is clear to both of them, and the most important thing at the moment is to break the alliance between Wan Sanqian and Zhu Wuzhi, otherwise let alone sending people to Dongying, they may not even be able to protect themselves.
