Chapter 396: Dock Fort
When Zilong heard this, he knew that the three of them would not come in for a while.
At that moment, Zilong gently fell from the roof and came to Zhengde's side.
Looking at Zhengde, who looked exactly the same as himself on the kang, as if looking in the mirror, Zilong couldn't help but have a sour nose, and secretly swore in his heart that even if it was dangerous this time, he must save his brother and not hurt him.
At this time, the conversation outside the room changed again, only to hear Shangshan Muzi suddenly say: "Brother Qian, I have something to ask you separately, I don't know if I can ...... it"
"Self-inflicted!" Qian Ning faintly knew why Shangshan Muzi was looking for himself, if he said before, he would definitely not reveal anything, but now that Shangshan Muzi saved Zhengde, that is, he saved himself, he was naturally willing to answer Shangshan Muzi.
At that moment, I only heard Qian Ning say to Miao Ling: "Miss Miao, I have some private things to talk about with Miss Li, I don't know ......."
"I know, let's go!" Miao Ling didn't know why, she always felt that this Shangshan Muzi was not a good person, but now that she saved Zhengde, that is, Zilong's brother, Miao Ling couldn't get angry with her, so she could only stomp her feet and turn away.
After Miao Ling walked for a while, Xu Shi checked to see if there was anyone nearby, and after confirming that it was safe and hidden, Shangshan Muzi looked at Qian Ning and asked, "Brother Qian, do you know what I want to ask?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Li wants to know where I learned this great demon, right?" Qian Ning really didn't detour around the bend, and said directly.
"That's right, Brother Qian is really happy!" Shangshan Muzi's voice was also full of joy.
"I, the great demon, learned from a Japanese slave!" Qian Ning really didn't hide it, he gradually told the old things of the year slowly.
It turned out that Qian Ning was originally from Yunnan, but because his parents died when he was a child, he had no choice but to live in the rivers and lakes and begged for a living.
Until thirteen years ago, when he was in exile in Hubei, he was adopted by a Japanese slave.
At first, the Japanese slave didn't do him much kindness, and he was purely called for him as a servant!
In addition, this Japanese slave often drank heavily, and beat and scolded Qian Ning at every turn.
Fortunately, although he is young, after the experience of the rivers and lakes, he is quite good at serving people.
Under his intent to curry favor, the Japanese slave slowly became better to him, and finally passed on all the martial arts such as the Great Demon Hand to him.
So the two got along for a year, and one day, the Japanese slave said that he had something to do.
It was only at sunset that the slave returned, gave him some money, told him to live on his own, and warned him not to reveal his whereabouts to anyone, and then disappeared.
Qian Ning has never seen this person since then, after wandering around for half a year, in desperation, he entered the capital again, and by chance, he entered the door of the eunuch Qian Neng, and changed his surname to Qian, until today.
Of course, many of these Channing were not revealed!
Shangshan Muzi didn't ask, after she listened quietly, she carefully asked Qian Ning about the appearance of the Japanese slave, and then said slowly: "Thank you, Brother Qian!"
"You're welcome!" Even if it was the eunuch Qian Neng, Qian Ning didn't tell him everything, and this was the first time he said it.
"But Brother Qian really hasn't seen that person since then?" Shangshan Muzi asked again as if he was a little unwilling.
"Qian never lies!" Qian Ning said categorically.
"Okay! Since that's the case, then I'll leave, and I'll come back tomorrow to remove the cold poison for Huang Gongzi!
Shangshan Muzi may have never gotten any useful news from Qian Ning, so he immediately offered his farewell.
After Qian Ning was polite, he said goodbye to Shangshan Muzi and left!
Zilong in the room listened to the words of Qian Ning and Shangshan Muzi, and couldn't help but ponder!
He didn't know before why this Shangshan Muzi suddenly appeared in the Central Plains with the Japanese slaves.
At this moment, from the conversation between her and Qian Ning, Zilong had already understood that Shangshan Muzi had come here to find a Japanese slave, a Japanese slave who had come to the Central Plains more than ten years ago.
And this Japanese slave man adopted Qian Ning, the guard next to Zhengde, more than ten years ago, and also taught Qian Ning martial arts.
It was only in the end, according to Channing, that the Japanese slave was nowhere to be found and never reappeared.
But Zilong faintly felt in his heart that this Qian Ning might not be telling the truth!
But Zilong didn't care about this matter, so he didn't have to investigate whether what Qian Ning said was true.
After another glance at Zhengde, Zilong flew out of the house and came to the roof!
At this time, it was already nightfall, and this huge dock fort was also pitch black.
Zilong looked at the lonely Yujiazhuang Wubao, and sighed slightly in his heart, and he didn't know if the rescuers he was counting on could arrive in time to rescue this innocent village from the brink of destruction.
Just as Zilong was sighing, he saw a large area of fire suddenly burning near the gate of the dock fort in the distance, and then there was a bang, and gongs and drums were loud.
Faintly in the wind and snow, a loud voice slowly spread: "The bandits have attacked the village! everyone get up and guard!" The voice rang out one after another, and slowly, the quiet dock fort was boiling, and the fires were constantly lit up, and the cries of women and children, the prayers of the elderly, and the shouts of the men and soldiers gradually gathered together.
Standing on the roof of the chief of the guard's house, in the backlit position, Zilong looked at the monstrous beacon fire at the gate of the dock fort in the distance, listening to this kind of sound in his ears, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift lightly, crying and laughing, and muttered to himself: "It's finally here!"
After finishing speaking, Zilong lightly touched the roof, and the whole figure jumped towards the gate at great speed.
He was fast and light, and he connected a little bit above the house, and in a short time he was near the gate.
This is near the gate of Jiazhuang Wubao, but like the city, a rather large gatehouse was built.
At this time, above the gatehouse, the lights are all over the sky, and when you look around, you can see these ordinary and even slightly shabby Zhuang Ding, holding a torch in one hand, a simple weapon in the other, or a hoe, or a fork, or a sickle, etc., standing tremblingly on the gatehouse, surrounded by Yu Baoguo, who is dressed in a strong suit, and an old man in a cotton robe.
Under the gatehouse, Zilong happened to find Yu Liu's panicked figure, and at that moment, his heart moved, and he quietly fell to Yu Liu's side, and said, "Brother Yu, meet again!"
"Huh?" This Yu Liu is quite timid, but at this time he is holding a broken birch stick in his hand, shivering, as if it is very cold, suddenly heard Zilong's voice, and couldn't help but almost scream, turned around and saw that it was Zilong, only then he breathed a sigh, and said with some blame, "Boss, why did you suddenly come out, but I was scared to death Yu Liu!"
"Okay! I'm sorry Brother Yu!" Zilong also humbly arched his hand, thinking that he was apologizing, and then pointed to the wall of the dock fort and said, "Brother Yu is here to go up the wall to defend against bandits attacking the dock fort?"
"Who said it wasn't!" Xu ran into an acquaintance, which Yu Liu gradually calmed down, only to hear him say, "Originally, I had already slept at home! But the chief of the security department sent someone to call him, saying that it was the Song Demon King of Peach Blossom Mountain who had come to avenge the iron-handed ghost, and he had all the five thousand men and horses of Peach Blossom Mountain, and he came to kill me mightily! This guard of the dock fort was short of manpower, so he called me all here! God is pitiful, I have never killed a chicken in my life, but at this time, I am called to kill, where am I that piece of material!"
Zilong heard that this was at the juncture of the six dangers, and he didn't want to advance and retreat with the townsmen in this village, but he was still complaining, and he couldn't help but feel a lot worse about this person!
It's just that at this time, he still needs Yu Liu's help, so he can only continue: "Okay! Brother Yu, I want to go up the wall, do you have any way?"
"Huh?" Yu Liu originally wanted to complain, but he didn't want Zilong to make such a request to go up the wall, he couldn't help but stand still for a while, and then asked with some uncertainty, "What? You want to go up the wall? Why? Now the Song Demon King is leading the team to attack, but there are 5,000 people! These 5,000 people and horses, but they are all bloodthirsty bandits, you go up the wall, in case there is a good ......."
"This is a tael of silver, if you help me go up, it will be yours!" Zilong also didn't talk nonsense with Yu Liu, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, handed it to Yu Liu, and said.
Not to mention whether there are 5,000 people in the Peach Blossom Mountain of the Song Demon King, even if it is doubled, Zilong is not afraid!
From the battlefield of the Ningxia War, such a small fight and a general scene, Zilong is really not a pestle!
What's more, although the Song Demon King of Peach Blossom Mountain is the chief scoop of the Green Forest Road in Beizhili, Zilong doesn't believe that he can have 5,000 subordinates.
Even with 5,000 subordinates, Zilong didn't believe that he could lead so many bandits to carry out such a big operation in Yujiazhuang, not far from Baoding Mansion.
Coupled with Zilong's own martial arts, he really didn't take this Song Demon King and Peach Blossom Mountain in his eyes.
That Yu Liu originally wanted to resign, although he earned a lot of news fees from Zilong, and he didn't want to offend a gold owner like Zilong in vain.
But if the owner wanted to take him to death, he couldn't agree to it anyway.
After all, it lies in the six hearts, and going to the wall of the dock fort is no different from sending it to death.
But this son Long took the silver money to open the way, which Yu Liu's eyes couldn't help but be full of greed, and Harazi almost flowed out.
was about to promise Zilong, but he rolled his eyes, and then said a little impatiently: "No, no! This boss, it's not that I don't talk about friendship with the sixth child, this wall is very dangerous, if it's for this bit of silver, it's ...... Only...... Hey, you know!"
"How much do you want?" Such a greedy person, Zilong has seen a lot of people walking in the rivers and lakes, seeing him like this, Zilong just wants to go up to see the situation clearly, but he doesn't want to entangle with him.
"Ten taels of silver!" Yu Liu's heart was horizontal, and he couldn't help but stretch out two hands, compared ten fingers, and said greedily.
"Okay! This is ten taels of silver, take me up quickly!" Zilong also did not bargain with this greedy villain, and directly took out the ten taels of silver from his arms, and bounced it on Yu Liu's palm.
After getting this huge amount of silver, Yu Liu couldn't help but smile, took the silver and stuffed it into his mouth, and bit it hard with his teeth.
Then he smiled and said, "Hey, hey, the boss is generous, come here, come here!"
After identifying the authenticity of the silver, Yu Liu was very happy, took the oil-stained, dirty sleeves to wipe the silver, and then carefully put the silver into his arms and hid it, Yu Liucai picked up the birch stick in his hand, pointed to the wall, and led the way to the wall.
Near the head of the fort wall, there was a crowd of people.
Most of the strong men in Yujiazhuang are gathered here.
It's just that although these people are not in the army, and they are not as tightly managed by the army, they have been fighting with Longkou Mountain for a long time, so they naturally have a set of methods.
In the corner, the management is not strict, but if you want to go to the wall, it is not so easy.
This is also one of the reasons why Zilong didn't go to the wall by himself, but he had been grinding with the money-greedy Yu Liu for so long.
That Yu Liu took Zilong to the bottom of the wall, and next to the stairs, there were two Zhuang Ding with ring-headed knives to stop them.
I don't know what kind of means Yu Liu used, after talking to the two Zhuang Ding with a hippie smile, the two Zhuang Ding looked at the dragon for a while, and finally nodded to each other and got out of the way.
Yu Liu got this opportunity, glanced back at Zilong with a smile, signaled him to follow him, and walked up.
Although Zilong was quite strange about Yu Liu's methods, what he was most concerned about at the moment was that the bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain and Longkou Mountain came together this time, how many came, and did those black-clothed people come?
Fortunately, the wall is not high, and Zilong didn't have to walk for long, so he went to the wall with Yu Liu.
Yu Liu was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he desperately did not dare to approach the outer wall.
Zilong had no choice but to find a wall with fewer people by himself, leaned over, and looked outside.
I saw that at this time, countless torches had been lit on the plain outside the wall of the dock fort, and the plain outside the wall of the dock fort was like daylight!
When ordinary people saw these many torches, they were afraid that they were already frightened and couldn't tell how many people there were!
Ke Zilong is a general of the Ming Dynasty, although the number of times he has faced the enemy is not very much compared to the generals in the army!
But on top of the experience of the battle array, he is also not lacking.
Through the number of torches, Zilong also roughly estimated the number of people below, and came to the scale of at least a thousand people below.
Originally, Zilong expected that there were only five or six hundred people, which was about the same, but he didn't want this Peach Blossom Mountain to come so many this time, and Zilong was quite surprised in his heart at the moment, and looked down again, looking to see if he could find the black-clothed people who ambushed Xia Jiang and the guards of the Beijing camp before.
I don't want to look at it, most of the mountain bandits under the firelight are dressed like the man in black before.
