Chapter 5 Fooling Around

Zhu Wen said: "There are dozens of people in the whole station, but only the owner of Fan Zhai burned beyond recognition, this is already a very suspicious thing, and since the owner of Fan Zhai is the leader of the cottage, he must have two hits, and his vigilance will not be low!

Zhu Wen's analysis made Xie Tong shocked, his heart almost rose to his throat, and he asked, "But Master Fan Zhai has just arrived in Yingzhou, who can know his whereabouts well!

Zhu Wen shook his head and said, "There are many motives for killing, it is very likely that it is someone inside the ancient village, who wants to take the opportunity to create the illusion that our army is plotting to kill the owner of Fan Zhai, and take the opportunity to dominate the cottage, or it may be other reasons, which is extremely difficult to guess for the time being." Xie Tong, Lu Jing, tomorrow you must personally go to Xitong Ancient Village, if there are any unusual matters, everything needs to be told quickly. ”

The two of them hurriedly said "yes"!

This night was very long for Xie Tong, he barely fell asleep, always worried about whether this fearless could succeed, at this moment, he didn't want to eat the troops and grain and grass of Xitong Ancient Village at all, as long as the two of them could avoid Zhu Wen's eye of heaven and return to Sizhou smoothly, he was already satisfied!

After dawn, Xie Tong was called up by Lu Jing and others with sleepy eyes, he barely slept this night, with big bags under his eyes, Lu Jing and others were also in a bad state, not only the bags under their eyes were extremely heavy, but their faces were also very haggard, obviously the killing of Fan Zhai touched them a lot. Xie Tong was very puzzled by this, judging from the past situation, the Dato's Venerable side and Zhu Wen's side were at odds with each other. This time, Meng Peng and Lu Jing should also be sent for the purpose of making trouble, but why did Lu Jing look preoccupied and attach great importance to it. This is unconscionable.

Xie Tong said after a long time: "Brother Lu, why does he look so haggard?"

Lu Jing sighed and said, "I worked hard to convince Master Fan Zhai. I thought it would be a great achievement, but I didn't know that such an accident had happened! Although there are not many soldiers in Xitong Ancient Village, a big battle is imminent, and the soldiers and horses of 2,000 people are also meat! Brother Xie did not know that this surprise attack by General Zhu Wen to capture Xiayingzhou not only surprised the Tang army, but also made it difficult for the Heavenly King to believe that now that the tide is rising, Zhu Wen has also become the supreme commander of the three armies except the Heavenly King. Responsible for all the mobilization of troops and horses, to put it seriously, everything can be cut first and then played, this time it ruined General Zhu's big event, so that the owner of Fan Zhai was inexplicably killed, it is already a sin, if I can't appease the cottage, I will definitely not be able to eat and go around! Ha, this time I will go to the cottage to rely on Brother Xie!"

Xie Tong was stunned. Huang Chao actually called the prince, presumably after the sword worship conference, he didn't expect Zhu Wen's power to expand so quickly, presumably the fault of losing the Qingyu Sword was counted on the Datuk Venerable and others. It is estimated that the influence and effect of the Sword Worship Conference are not good, so that Huang Chao is to blame, and now Zhu Wen has recaptured Yingzhou. Naturally, the momentum won by a big margin.

Xie Tong was secretly happy, he didn't expect that His Holiness Datuk and others would also have today. In this southern expedition, he set himself three goals. The first is to kill His Holiness Datuk to avenge himself and the sword master, the second is to capture Huang Chao with his own hands, and the third is to be able to create greater momentum with his military exploits in the southern expedition. This first goal must be achieved. Thinking of this, Xie Tong smiled, as if he was thinking a little too much, he hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, don't worry, an ancient village without a leader can set off any big waves, I will definitely be captured, don't worry."

Lu Jing suddenly felt that Xie Tong's words were very reasonable, the general sat in the land south of the Yangtze River, and his subordinates had more than 200,000 troops, and with the momentum of retaking Yingzhou, a small broken cottage, with more than 2,000 people, how could they not dare to compete with it, otherwise, wouldn't it be a mantis arm as a car, and he couldn't measure himself. Thinking of this, he also fluttered, as if he was confident.

With the two of them to the ancient village, there are more than 100 guards, everyone rode horses, slowly and leisurely to the ancient village, along the way, Xie Tong and Lu Jing Jing, when they arrived at the ancient village, they walked for more than an hour.

Xitong Ancient Village is very quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the past, and there are not even sentinels on the watchtower, which looks very strange.

Everyone found the abnormality of the ancient village and stopped in front of the ancient village.

Lu Jingdao: "Go to the two of you to see what happened in the ancient village!"

Two people galloped into the ancient village and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

After two teas, no one came out, everyone sweated, and Xie Tong was even more nervous.

The two spies rushed out, went to the front of everyone, and said to Lu Jingdao, "Commander Qiqi, we have checked, and there is no one in the ancient village."

"What!" Lu Jing's scalp tingled when he heard this, the huge ancient village, more than 2,000 people, all disappeared overnight, isn't this weird, I'm afraid it's really as Zhu Wen said, something has happened, this is the last thing he wants to see. He stayed directly on the spot.

Xie Tong was secretly happy in his heart, presumably after Yi Wuxing stole the jade pendant, he successfully rebelled against the crowd in the ancient village, and at this moment, the team of people and horses together with grain and grass were on the way to the Tang army camp, this night was really critical. But he didn't dare to show the joy in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, there must have been a great change in the ancient village!"

Lu Jing said unhappily, "As long as you are not blind, you can see it, the key is how to explain to General Zhu when you go back!"

Xie Tong said, "At this time, it is wrapped up in the little brother, and the little brother is willing to return to Yingzhou and explain this matter to General Zhu in person!

Lu Jing was secretly happy in his heart, who would report the news, he would definitely avoid Zhu Wen's scolding, this Xie Tong looked shrewd, but he was actually stupid, he would pick such a thankless job, he hurriedly said, "So there is Brother Lao Xie, the younger brother will definitely guard the ancient village and ensure that there will be no damage before the arrival of the general!"

Xie Tong smiled, knowing that Lu Jing wanted him to take the blame, he suddenly felt funny in his heart, how could he be stupid enough to return to Yingzhou, just find an excuse to leave! This Lu Jing also kept guarding the ancient village, what a fool, a discerning person can see at once that something big has happened in the ancient village, and it is even more strange to evacuate all of them, not to track down the enemy, but to wait here for the rabbit, if Huang Chao's subordinates are all so useless, then the southern expedition can be expected. It's a pity that Zhu Wen is like a god, and he doesn't know how much Tang Jun will suffer under Zhu Wen's hands.

Lu Jing continued, "What are you guys still doing, why don't you accompany Commander Xie back to Yingzhou!" he scolded a few guards loudly, looking extremely manic.

Xie Tong smiled and said, "That's not necessary, guarding the cottage is not a simple matter, it requires a lot of manpower, so it's better to leave it to Brother Lu! The younger brother will be faster alone!"

Lu Jing and the others looked at Xie Tong's departing back, and after disappearing, Lu Jing burst out laughing. (To be continued.) )
