Chapter 263: The Fire of the Prairie (Four Changes)
When the pony arrives in Salt County, he realizes that the atmosphere in Salt County is a little different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Unlike other small towns, Yanjun is an important salt warehouse, and it is surrounded by a wall that is not low, about half a zhang high, surrounded on all sides, and there is only one exit.
In this way, it is convenient for the Jinghai Gang to use this place as a stronghold, and it has almost become a natural stronghold without much modification.
In addition, the salt warehouse is different from the rice warehouse, salt is not easy to burn, and even if someone sets fire, there will be no grand scene of burning the company camp.
But the disciple who was usually on duty at the gate disappeared at this moment.
The pony felt that something was wrong, and quickly took off the veil, ignoring the fact that the women's dress was a little immobile, and tore the skirt that had been exchanged for silver taels, and then took off his steps and rushed to the middle of the salt county.
In Yanjun, a group of disciples of the Jinghai Gang were forming a group, and in the air, there was a trace of blood, coming out of the noisy crowd.
Pony realized that something was wrong, and quickly rushed forward, shouting, turning the attention of some trembling disciples to his side.
A few sharp-eyed disciples recognized Lady Pony at a glance, and although they felt a little strange about his outfit, their faces were full of horror and frustration.
"Master, you're finally here!" Several disciples fluttered and knelt down, the Jinghai Gang did have a large number of personnel, but most of them were ordinary disciples in the south of the Yangtze River, and their martial arts were also very low, so when facing things, they were naturally a little at a loss.
"What the hell is going on!" Pony separated from his disciples and saw the bodies of several ordinary disciples lying on the ground, which were supposed to be the hands of the other two gangs.
"What about Hall Leader?" Pony looked around, but he didn't see Zhongli's figure, originally the first wave of people who came over were all disciples who didn't have much effect, and used them to set up camps.
The Jinghai Gang has a large number of people, and it takes some time to order all the halls, so he and Zhongli came first, and no one expected that this battle would start when they first came to Jiangdu.
No one dared to squeak, only a slightly bolder disciple pointed to a room behind the many granaries and said, "Hall Master Zhong, in the morning, I took a few disciples to the neighborhood to investigate the situation, but we didn't come back for two hours, and a few of us went to look for them, and it turned out that Hall Master Zhong and those disciples had been poisoned!"
The pony didn't care about his posture and ran to the back room.
On the couch in the room, Zhongli was seriously injured and his whole body was covered in bandages, apparently caused by being besieged by many people.
And Lang Zhong on the side, who was also sweating profusely, saw the pony coming in, and hurriedly said: "Girl, this good man, he has several knives in his body, especially one of the sword wounds, which has hurt his heart and lungs, and I have no power to return to the sky!"
At this time, Xiaoma no longer wondered whether it was the title of "girl", but withdrew from Lang Zhong and faced Zhongli alone.
Zhongli's consciousness was a little unconscious, and when he saw the pony coming, he smiled, "You kid, you must have been reincarnated by mistake in this life, and you actually gave birth to a woman's face..."
"Am I mistaken, you're actually wearing women's clothes?" Zhongli barely managed to look at the pony in women's clothes and appeared in front of him.
"What the hell is going on, I've only been to Jiang for less than a day, how could it be like this!" Xiao Ma was a little worried when he saw Zhongli's tragic situation, after all, people are not grass and trees, and he and Zhongli still have some friendship.
"It's the people of the Northern Sword Gate, there are twenty or thirty of them, and they seem to know... We ambushed me, and though I had killed seven or eight of them, I was able to repel them, but—" Zhongli spoke reluctantly, telling the pony what had happened in the morning.
"Blatant?" Pony wondered, and said to Zhongli in disbelief, "In the day?"
"Exactly, those people, without the slightest cover-up, came prepared, it can't be from the Tang Sect, they have an unstable foothold, and they don't dare to do this at all..."
Zhongli was already a little speechless, but he was able to convey the message to the pony clearly.
This is the only possibility that the pony can think of, and for a three-way fight, provoking the other two parties to fight is the most basic strategy for a third party.
Zhongli couldn't hold it anymore, and the pony saw him for the last time.
He didn't even say the last word, because he was so badly wounded, he died.
This man who used iron oars, who came and went in the wind and rain, actually lost his life in the battle of Jiangdu outpost.
Pony is resentful, but he still has enough sanity to keep his composure, he hasn't forgotten who he is, no matter what his personal relationship with Spitfire is, this is the enemy on the battlefield.
He thought about it for a while, and decided to go to the place where Zhongli was ambushed.
Pony changed into men's clothes and ordered a few capable disciples to accompany him.
He has always believed that there is only one truth, and most of what he has seen with his own eyes is true.
The place where Zhongli encountered the ambush was too obvious, not so much an ambush as waiting there.
It was not a natural ambush site, but rather a somewhat flat ground with a path in the middle of which was flanked by farmland leading to a nearby village.
And among the farmland on the path, there are still some abandoned farmland, and the haystacks have not had time to be removed, and these haystacks are scattered all over the place, apparently someone has hidden them before.
Pony then investigates the situation at the scene to analyze the situation.
Perhaps because of the daytime, Zhongli was not surprised by these strange appearances, and he didn't think about it, first rushed out a few people and fought with Zhongli, and then about twenty people rushed over from other places.
Zhongli's martial arts are not weak, and the iron oars he uses are powerful and heavy, and he can split people in half with one blow, but the opponent's offensive method is not to step forward and fight.
Instead, he attacked with weapons such as crossbow machines, and after shooting several of Zhongli's people, he continued to attack Zhongli with crossbow arrows.
Although Zhongli was strong, the other party had already prepared, not only with crossbow arrows, but also with thistles and triphorses, Zhongli was outnumbered and unable to get out.
But after Zhongli was hit by several arrows, the other party stepped forward to grapple with him, and only then did they work together to beat Zhongli to death.
There were already seven or eight disciples in Northern Sword Sect costumes lying on the scene, and this kind of behavior did not look like Liuyun Sword Village.
"Liuyun Sword Village has always advertised itself as upright, secretly attacked, and used such indiscriminate methods..."The pony lost his head for a while, and he didn't know who did it.
