Chapter 167: Five Horses Split Bodies

With each step of the five horses, the Ghost King's miserable voice became even more severe, and the Ghost King's limbs were stretched longer and longer, and finally the sound of his muscles and flesh being pulled and torn and broken could be heard clearly, and he saw a living person being torn into several pieces. The miserable screams were gone, and instead of the thunderous cheers of the audience, it seemed to be really happy. The county magistrate ordered the arrest to hang up his corpse quickly, and the next day he dried it for another day before burying his heads in a pit with those heads.

Zhang Lingyu and others returned to the inn after the execution, and after lunch, they set off to Shuozhou Mansion, along the way the fast horse and whip the wind and galloped, and arrived at Shuozhou City, it was dark, and the city gate was squeaking and closing together, Lingyu urged the horse to rush to the front, there was only a gap left between the city gates, Lingyu floated down and quickly inserted the sword with a sheath into the crack of the door and said: "Master Jun, please close the door slowly, it is convenient." ’

Several sergeants guarding the door were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at each other and said, "I don't know when someone came." Then he saw a sword with a sheath stuck in the crack of the door, so that they could not close it, so one of them said angrily, 'The gate is closed today, so let us enter the city again tomorrow morning.' Lingyu said with a smile: "Please also ask the military master to make it convenient, I came from afar, and there is no inn outside the city, and it is not easy to rest at night." The man looked at the sword path inserted in the crack of the door: "I see that you look like a wanderer, I heard that you can all eat and sleep in the open." Lingyu said: "That's in the mountains and wilderness, I have arrived at the gate of the city now, how can you bear to ask me to eat and sleep in the open." Another said: "We finally closed the door, and it took force to open and close." ’

Zhang Lingyu said: "That's okay, I'll open the door by myself, and then close the door after I go in." The man laughed and said, 'Come in as long as you can push you away.' Lingyu pulled the sword back and pressed it against the door, but the door did not move, and said to herself, "I don't think this door is quite heavy." Several sergeants in the gate just laughed and said nothing, and Lingyu increased his strength, only to see that the city gate quickly opened a big mouth. Lingyu led the horse in, and then gently pulled it with her hand, and the city gate closed slowly.

It turned out that the sergeants were behind the city gate, and they were amused when they saw that Lingyu's head was not pushed, and then several people were involuntarily moved away by the door, and when they saw Lingyu come in, they closed the city gate lightly, and the few soldiers guarding the gate were dumbfounded, and secretly said: "It turns out that he is still a master of the rivers and lakes." When he came back to his senses, he saw that Lingyu had gone far on horseback. One of them sighed: 'What a hero, you see that the gates of the city are closed with a single pull.' It's like it took a lot of effort for a few of us to push the door open. The other said, "Can you compare with others, I think this son must be a great general if he wants to be a soldier." ’

Zhang Lingyu walked to the city for a while, saw a good inn and lived in, because it was dark when he first arrived, it was inconvenient to inquire, and after dinner and washing, he went back to the guest room to rest.

When Zhang Lingyu had breakfast the next day, he asked Xiao Er about the place of the Shuozhou prison camp. The prison camp is not in the city, but in the black iron ridge of Luliang Mountain, thirty miles west of the city. There is a Tieling town under the ridge, and the prison camp is under the black Tieling in the west of the town. There is an iron smelting mine at the bottom of the ridge. Using these imprisoned people for mining ore also saves a lot of wages.

Zhang Lingyu rode a horse to the entrance of Tieling Town to let the horse go to eat grass and drink water by himself, and walked to the town by himself, seeing that the town is not big but very lively, here is not only the iron mine in the prison camp, but also the big iron mine opened by the government. Maybe there will be a lot of workers, and when there are more people, there will be more business and it will be lively. Lingyu walked through the town to the edge of the mine in the prison camp, walked to the forest on the ridge, jumped on a big tree, stood and looked towards the iron-smelting quarry, and saw hundreds of people mining stones in the valley under the scorching sun. Some hammers, some with drills, and some carry stones, most of them are made shirtless, not to mention sweating, and the slightest pause is a leather whip.

Zhang Lingyu couldn't recognize the Han brothers after looking at it for a while, so he floated to the ground, he opened his baggage and changed into a set of clothes, put some clothes on his face, and got a piece of green mark on his left cheek, packed up and stopped when he was backpacking and carrying a sword, really like a strange man who traveled the rivers and lakes. When he came to the town and saw an old beggar lying under a big tree to cool off, Lingyu walked up and sat down on the side and said, "Old man, I want to ask if anyone can see me." The old beggar lay on the ground and squinted at Lingyu and said, "Do you know the rules of the rivers and lakes?" Lingyu said: "When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I knew very little about the rules of the rivers and lakes, but I still understood the rules you want to say, and the granddaughter of the beggar gang leader, Ma Junlan, told me." When the old beggar heard this, he sat up and looked at him carefully, and said, "You know Miss Ma." Lingyu said, "We are good friends. The old beggar laughed and said, 'I don't believe that Miss Ma would be friends with such an ugly monster as you.' ’

Lingyu also smiled and said: "The old man is not good-looking, as the saying goes, people can't be good-looking, and the sea can't be measured; besides, I don't want to be close to you, you give me news, I will give silver, and do things according to the rules." The old beggar smiled and said, "I can't see that your ugly skin is not small, is it great to have silver, how can this girl Lan'er make a friend like you." Lingyu said: "So your old man also knows Miss Ma." The old beggar said, 'I have not only known him, but I have also held him.' Lingyu said: "I don't believe it, how could she want you to hug this old man." The old beggar said, 'Good boy, you are waiting for me here, and you are not afraid that I will screw out your ears.' Lingyu smiled: "Seeing that your old road is unstable, I will be afraid of you, so what am I still messing with on the rivers and lakes." The old beggar smiled and said, "Boy, you are crazy enough, a bit like Lan'er's friends." Lingyu smiled: "You are so funny, you don't blame you for bullying you old and weak, but praise me, if I punch you and kick you twice, you won't go crazy with joy." The old beggar laughed even more happily and said, "Boy, this time you are right, if you can really punch me and kick me, I will be really happy, which means that Lan'er has more vision than me." ’

Zhang Lingyu smiled and got up to walk away, but the old beggar said, "Boy, why are you leaving, you don't want to inquire about the news." Lingyu smiled: "I see you like a crazy old man, I can't tell you why, I'd better ask others." The old beggar hurriedly said, "Boy, you underestimate me, and if you tell me that I don't know, others don't know." Lingyu smiled: "Everyone in the town knows my question, how can I remember to ask you, delay time." The old beggar said, 'I don't want your money, but if you can punch me, I'll tell you whatever you ask, as long as I know it.' ’

Lingyu smiled, "That's true. After saying that, he was punched in the chest, and he raised his leg and kicked the old beggar in the thigh, and the old beggar's face became ugly in shock, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Good boy, you are really a master, I should have thought about who you are a long time ago." Lingyu smiled and said, "I said that I am Miss Ma's sworn brother, do you believe it from the old man?" The old beggar said, "Could it be that you are the Qixia Lingyu." (To be continued......)
