Chapter 505
"A few days ago, the king sent the general Zong Yu to gather troops in Yanzhou, wanting to encircle and suppress the generals. β
Zhang Zhan was noncommittal, although this gentleman-like person, when he mentioned the name of screening, he seemed to be very admired and admired. But Yuzhong is really not a wise move, after all, the old master of screening has died, and Jin Xuanlin's unification is the trend of the times and is imperative. To resist so stubbornly is just irresponsible for yourself and the lives of your subordinates.
Well, maybe this move can make Screening himself famous through the ages, but a simple stroke in the history books was actually written with the lives of thousands of sons and daughters under him.
But only one person is highlighted.
"Who else but screening?"
"Wolf thief!"
"Wolf thieves?"
"The wolf thieves are the most notorious of the pirates! Although there are less than 100 people, they are all brave and good at fighting, and all of them are strong in martial arts. They killed people and goods, did all kinds of evil, but came and went without a trace, and the imperial court encircled and suppressed them several times, but all of them returned in vain. Moreover, the wolf thieves are especially good at naval warfare, and the most fearful thing for the merchants who travel back and forth between Goryeo and China is to encounter this wolf thief who kills people without blinking! Every year, the lives of the wolf thieves who are buried at sea are probably thousands!"
Zhang Zhan was taken aback, he originally thought that the so-called pirates were just strong men with a few strengths or some skills. It seems that the so-called wolf thieves seem to be quite famous!
Next, the gentleman said a few more names, but Zhang Yan had already filtered them out automatically. For example, the old man of the former dynasty who is especially greedy for money, Jin Xuanlin can't beat or scold, he can only turn a blind eye to his greed. Zhang Zhan didn't believe that this kind of person had the courage to take in Wan Yan Injury, a key criminal in the imperial court, this was a matter of losing his head.
After all, most people who are greedy for money will cherish their little lives.
"This silver is yours!" Zhang Yan finished speaking, and then stood up.
A little astonishment flashed across the gentleman's face, because the "sharp" and "tricky" questions he expected had not appeared. What Zhang Chuan asked about was some current events that almost everyone in Korea knew.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Sometimes the windfall is indeed so simple, it should be a surprise from God!"
At this time, Xiao Er on the side walked in and said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant with an impatient face: "Boss, the crazy woman at the door is here again!"
"Alas, they're all hard-working people, give her some leftovers......"
It is not surprising that there are poor people everywhere in the world, and Zhang Yan naturally does not take it to heart.
When I walked out, I saw a man covered in tatters, with a disheveled head, so filthy that he couldn't look like he was stench, curled up on the ground, facing the entrance of the restaurant.
This kind of beggar affects appetite when it is seen, and when mortals see it, they will take a detour nine times out of ten. If you encounter a bad-tempered shopkeeper, I'm afraid you will have beaten him away long ago, after all, this may affect the business of your store.
Zhang Yan glanced at the crazy woman, but felt disgusted, so he walked around.
His steps are not slow or fast, but in the blink of an eye, he is already dozens of steps away from this "crazy woman". His ears were so sharp, he could vaguely hear that Xiao Er just now threw something on the muddy ground, and said in disgust: "Eat, get out of here after eating!"
Since she is a crazy woman, of course, she will not thank you for the leftovers covered with dust and filth.
However, her answer was not vaguely babbling, but in Chinese, and she spoke two words clearly: "Zhang Can." β
Zhang Remnant came to an abrupt end.
The voice is so familiar.
The next moment, he had already floated in front of this crazy woman.
Her face was covered with black mud and dirt, and she didn't see her original complexion at all, and her eyes were foggy and dull, let alone the eyes she should have. The tattered clothes on his body, the exposed skin, were frozen by the relentless cold and turned blue, purple, and scarred.
In short, in a word: not humanoid.
Zhang Yan slowly squatted down, stared at the woman who was gobbling up this "pig food" general food, and said softly: "Dai Lan?"
The crazy woman didn't pay attention to it at all, but just stuffed the food covered with dust and filth into her mouth one by one, and ordinary people would inevitably cry when they saw the miserable situation.
Zhang Yan grabbed the slender wrist and questioned again: "Are you, Dai Lan?"
In fact, Zhang Zan's already convinced that this crazy woman was Dai Lan, who had been "killed by Zhang Zan", he just couldn't believe that the surviving person who was once cold and beautiful had now become like this and had fallen into such a field!
Thinking back to that time, Dugu and Dai Lan came together to find Zhang Remnant to seek revenge. After Zhang killed Dugudan, it was difficult for him to harm Dai Lan because of Ling Ran. As a result, Zhang Zan's words provoked Feng Guoyun, who was known as the twin heroes of the Demon Gate, and Feng Guoyun also laughed at Zhang Can's conspiracy - he would deal with Dai Lan.
Since then, there has been no news of Dai Lan in the rivers and lakes.
Since then, the news that Dugu and Dai Lan were both killed by Zhang Yan has not been told to leave.
In fact, Zhang Yan also thought that Dai Lan was no longer in the world. I didn't know, in distant Goryeo, I saw her again.
Moreover, she has gone crazy.
Witnessing Dai Lan's tragic situation, Zhang Yan did not have any pleasure of revenge, but instead gave birth to a very sad and heavy feeling. After all, killing people is not enough, we can slash the enemy, but we cannot destroy their humanity.
Because in the process of destroying human nature, it is actually the destruction of the self.
He really wanted to find Feng Guoyun, he really wanted to know what Feng Guoyun had done to Dai Lan to destroy humanity!
"Master, that sister, really, really dirty! Yurou changed five buckets of water for her before helping her clean it. β
Cleaning Dai Lan must be a hard work, Yu Rou was so tired that her little face was red and out of breath.
Yurou's breathing was only unintentional, but it was very tempting, but unfortunately Zhang Zhan had no other thoughts now, and his head was a mess without a clue, and it was a mess of porridge.
"She slept?"
"Well, wash and wash, and fall asleep. However, I couldn't see it at first, but it turned out that this sister was so beautiful!" Yurou praised with some surprise.
Seeing that Zhang Zhan didn't answer, Yurou was already very bold, she sat on Zhang Zhan's lap, and her soft little hands wrapped around Zhang Zhan's neck: "Master, who is she? Why do you only say your name?"
Along the way, no matter what Zhang Remnant asked, whether it was a pleasant face or pretending to be fierce, Dai Lan's answer was only two words: Zhang Remnant.
It was as if Dai Lan would not say anything but his own name.
It seems that Yurou was cleaning Dai Lan, and Dai Lan only put the word Zhang Remnant on her lips.
"She, she is, she is my enemy. Zhang Yan said complicatedly, "However, I did what hurt her first, she is my enemy, I am sorry for her first, and I owe her first." β
"You've given up in the end?" asked Yurou if she thought so complicatedly.
Zhang Yan shook his head: "She is my brother's fiancΓ©e. β
Yurou was a little surprised, and her little mouth opened very round: "You seduced your sister-in-law?"
Zhang Yan said helplessly: "She's not a sister-in-law, just my younger brother and sister!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan hurriedly explained: "Phew! Whether it is a sister-in-law or a younger sibling, there is no relationship between men and women! β
As he spoke, a rush of footsteps came from the courtyard.
The eagerness and panic of the person who came had been completely revealed from his footsteps, letting Zhang Chuan know some not very good things, and it would give him a headache again.
"Zhang Daxia, Brother Pan was seriously injured!"
Zhang Yan stood up all of a sudden: "Go!"
Yaowanggu healed his wounds, Pan Yue and Zheng Hong took good care of Zhang Remnant on the road, and Zhang Remnant has always remembered this kindness. Now that Pan Yue has been seriously injured, Zhang Zhan will naturally not sit idly by.
"That Master Li is the goatee who contacted us at the docks! He has been pointing out the quality of our sheepskins, and everyone understands what is going on, and he just wants to make some profits! Just now we have already given Master Li two beautiful women and a lot of gifts, this Master Li wants to go out to have fun, of course Brother Pan has to serve him well. β
The so-called Hades is better, but the little ghost is difficult. This move of Master Li to get some benefits belongs to a tacit unspoken rule, and Zhang Yan is not surprised, nor is he angry because of Master Li's troubles.
After all, he was fed this time, once he was born and twice cooked, slowly and slowly, the contact between Nangong Mansion and this side in the future will be much easier and smoother.
Doing business is meant to be flexible, and there is always room for it.
If this is according to Zhang Yan's temperament, seeing this Master Li's face, he is too lazy to serve and slaughter people with one knife, and in the future, Nangong Mansion will never do business in Goryeo again.
"And then?" asked Zhang.
As soon as Master Li entered the Qinglou, he appointed the Yan'er girl in the Qinglou to accompany him. It's just that this Yan'er girl lacks skills, and Master Li is unrelenting, so Brother Pan has no choice but to try it. Unexpectedly, the other party's idea was pierced, and he punched and kicked him with three punches and two kicks, and he was seriously injured......"
"Three punches and two kicks are an exaggeration?" Zhang Yan frowned.
Pan Yue's martial arts are not high, but they are not low. An ordinary merchant bodyguard, against any Jiangyang thief and green forest hero, Pan Yue is more than enough.
Of course, a real master, even if it is only a master of Zhang Remnant's level, when there is a shortage of gold and silver, more often than not, he finds some big families and takes it without telling him. I wouldn't use force against a caravan with great fanfare, masters, all of them have heads and faces, and they have self-respecting identities. When you are shy in your pocket, taking it without telling you is always a little more face-saving than robbing the road in broad daylight.
After all, if you don't tell this kind of thing, if you don't say it yourself, no one will know, right?
Therefore, with Pan Yue's martial arts, he was now seriously injured by three punches and two kicks, if this little brother is not exaggerating, then the other party's skills are really extraordinary.
"It's an exaggeration......"
This little brother also gave birth to a little self-blame, and confused the enemy's strength between words, which is likely to be a fatal mistake for his own side.
"That person only made one move, and Brother Pan was seriously injured!"
told the facts, without any exaggeration, Zhang Yan felt even more tricky.
"A move?" Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows.
"One move!"
Zhang Yan was silent for more than a moment: "What is the origin of the other party?
"It's definitely not an official family!"
Zhang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of officials, but only of management. As long as he didn't offend the official family of Goryeo, there was still a possibility that the matter would be recovered. Otherwise, in order for Nangong Mansion to be able to do business smoothly in Goryeo in the future, he would have to swallow his anger.
But if you seriously injure Pan Yue with one move, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to please yourself, okay?
In the Qinglin Pavilion, Zhang Yan stepped into it and immediately felt a sense of it.
Rao knew that the other party had seriously injured Pan Yue, so he was hostile, but when he looked at it at a glance, he couldn't help but secretly praise: What a mighty man!
The man was standing in the middle of the second floor with his hands tied, condescending.
His messy hair is neglected, and he is flamboyant with the wind, but he looks even more uninhibited.
The standing posture is straight and unyielding, and the breath is passive.
The face is full of beard, rough and atmospheric, a pair of small eyes, blazing, and the divine light in the eyes is shining, and ordinary people are not qualified to look at it at all.
was condescending by him, and even Zhang Yan felt a little oppressive.
"The ransom was brought?"
are both masters, and their respective auras have made each other's eyes look at each other, and when Zhang Remnant glanced at the past, the person also looked at Zhang Remnant.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was not ready to give Zhang Remnant room for peace talks, and made it clear that Pan Yue, who was lying on the ground on the side without giving ransom, would not be happily handed over to Zhang Remnant.
Although Zhang Chuan hated this person's ruthlessness in his heart, he had a smile on his face, patted the Miao knife behind him, and said with a smile: "Is the value of this knife enough?"
is reasonable, it was Pan Yue who provoked the other party first, but the other party made too many moves. Anyway, there are only a few people in the rivers and lakes who don't pay attention to face? Moreover, the Qinglou is jealous, and this is the case. He was disturbed by Pan Yue, and it was reasonable for him not to give up.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan glanced at that Master Li.
If it weren't for this stray hair, this wouldn't have happened.
To put it mildly, the top girl, even if she is a woman who sells herself, is not something that ordinary men can enjoy at will.
That Master Li knew that he was at a loss, and was glanced at by Zhang Yan, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.
This was just a matter of a moment, the man listened to Zhang Yan's answer, of course he laughed, and the laughter prompted by the deep internal force shocked the woman who didn't know martial arts in the building covered her ears and trembled: "It's far away!"
The surging air currents blew the candles in the house, and suddenly dimmed and almost went out.
I didn't see that person have the action of accumulating strength at all, but like a light leaf, it fell lightly, and it was only ten steps away from Zhang Remnant.
When Zhang Yan saw this method, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
He thought that this person had such a personality, such a good look, and such a conversation, and he should have taken a martial arts path of opening and closing, being fierce and domineering, but he didn't know that his body was so ethereal and soft. Only from the judgment error of anticipating the enemy's first opportunity, Zhang Yan has already lost.
