Chapter 6 The Good is Like Water

It's ridiculous, but it's really ridiculous, obviously just married, but they want to separate immediately.

"Young Master, do you have anything else to explain?" asked one of the subordinates.

"Let's go over there a little bit. Zhang Wu pulled up the spring rain and motioned to the other two with his eyes, asking them to also walk away for a while, so as to make a little time for Zhang Hui and the lady of the Fang family.

By this time, the enemy had stopped to rest and make preparations for the final charge.

There were also people who discovered the anomaly, and some people who guessed something, but they just kept the uneasiness in their hearts and didn't react.

Most of the time, when you look back, you will find that the signs of some things are so strong, but when you are in it, you will unconsciously ignore them, it is not a question of IQ, it is a question of whether you have the courage to dare to confront the trend of the times.

Many people stand on the high plane of history to evaluate people in history, saying that they are ridiculous and that they are stupid, which is bullying the great men of history and will not open their mouths to refute.

For a very simple example, Yue Fei in the Storm Pavilion was so pathetic, and he seemed to be very stupid and loyal, but how could Yue Fei at that time think that person would dare to do this!

There are also smart people in Zhang County, and they have also seen the changes in the Zhang family. But after so many years of healthy life, without clear news of the enemy attack, how could they give up everything now and escape?

"Goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again. "For this newly married wife, to be honest, I don't have much affection, but since I am married, there is an extra bond.

The little lady of the Fang family lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes, silent.

"When you get to Prison Cloud Pass, find Uncle Zhang, he will take care of everything, and wait for me to find you. Zhang Hui understood that the attack of the enemy army this time was completely different from the past, but Zhang Hui was unwilling to think about it.

As he spoke, Zhang Hui took out the iron dagger pinned to his waist, handed it to her and said: "This is given to me by my father when I was twelve years old, I like it very much, I will give it to you today, you can keep it for self-defense." ”

This iron dagger is sharp and small, and can be hidden in sleeves and long shoes, which is the best for self-defense.

Zhang Hui couldn't put it down when he got this dagger, and after all these years of playing, using this dagger has been like waving his arm, and it was given to her today, which was also a whim......

She took the dagger and put it in her coat and hid it on her chest. He lowered his head and blushed and pinched the corners of his clothes, silent.

Seeing that she didn't have anything to say, Zhang Hui beckoned to Zhang Wu and the others, motioned for them to come over, and said at the same time, "You guys hurry up." ”

Today's farewell, life and death are boundless.

"Young Master, do you want to be a young grandmother?" Watching the backs of the four of them gradually walk south, Zhang Wu took the lead in breaking the silence.

"A little. "Zhang Hui is telling the truth.

"I miss them a little bit too, but it seems that the master misses us more. ”

Following Zhang Wu's gaze, Zhang Hui saw a servant running towards them out of breath.

"Huh?"

Zhang County is not big, and it is not far to walk from the south gate to Zhang's house, not to mention that it still takes time to run.

However, at this time, no matter how fast Zhang Hui and the others run, they are all slow in Master Zhang's place.

"Where have you two been? Didn't you ask you to come here? Why has it been so long?" Master Zhang scolded angrily, and pressed his right hand on the whip on the table, and then added: "Where's your daughter-in-law?"

Zhang Hui and Zhang Wu knew what to do at this time, and the two of them walked to the lobby and knelt down straight, without any delay.

"Father, the child is not filial, as soon as he knew that the enemy army was coming, he thought that he could not be sorry for his wife, so he let him go south first. Zhang Hui said word by word, and his voice was loud and high-pitched.

After listening to Zhang Hui's words, Master Zhang left the whip with his right hand, picked up the teapot on the table, and asked, "Then why don't you leave?"

"Father, I am the son of the Zhang family, and I naturally want to stay and live and die with the Zhang family at this time, if I leave, wouldn't I be a homeless and fatherless disciple, what is the difference between it and a beast?"

After speaking, Zhang Hui raised his head and looked directly at Master Zhang, who didn't know how to answer for a while, the look in his eyes changed and changed, and he still didn't continue to dwell on this matter after all.

After looking at Zhang Hui for a few moments, Master Zhang looked away and looked at the people around him. After taking a sip of tea, he said: "Everyone also knows what happened, the army of Sang Kingdom will come soon, and our Zhang family is estimated to come to an end today." ”

"Master, can't you use silver......" Zhang Hui's second mother quickly spoke.

However, as Master Zhang stared at her, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally silently retreated into the crowd.

Seeing that she didn't continue, Master Zhang turned his gaze away, paused and looked at the people in the hall, "Break through this Zhang County and kill us, everything in this is theirs." ”

Seeing that Master Zhang did not pursue himself, Zhang Hui pulled Zhang Wu to stand up quietly and retreated into the crowd.

Glaring at Zhang Hui, who was standing back in the line, Master Zhang continued: "Thinking about it, there is nothing left to do. When the enemy enters the city, we will either be killed, captured, or killed in battle. My Zhang family, although my hairline is not long, and I am not a big family surname, but there are still rules that should be there. ”

Speaking of which, everyone stared at Master Zhang, waiting for him to make arrangements.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang dragged out a plain square plate, on which were strips of white silk.

"The ladies of my Zhang family all took the white silk in front of the ancestral spirit card behind the hall and returned to the west. If the descendants of the Zhang family have escaped this catastrophe, they need to regard all the people who return to the west as the ancestors of the Zhang family. My son Zhang Kai has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he expected that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so he also returned to the west with his daughter. ”

There are seven grandchildren in the Zhang family, Zhang Hui is the eldest, the second child died young, the third daughter of the Zhang family is Zhang Ying, and Zhang Hui has the same father and mother, they used to follow Zhang Hui, but later they quieted down.

Zhang Kai is the fourth son of the Zhang family, and he was also born to Zhang Hui with the same father and mother, but Mrs. Zhang had fetal gas during pregnancy, which caused Zhang Kai to be weak and sickly, as for the fifth sister, sixth sister, and seventh brother, they left yesterday.

"I understand. Zhang Kai slowly knelt down in front of Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang with the support of the maid, although his face was haggard and distressing, but his face was neither humble nor arrogant, and he regarded death as home.

Master Zhang also wanted to ask someone to escort Zhang Kai back, but after all, he was weak since he was a child, and he couldn't stand it like this. At the same time, when the people of the Zhang family are dead, the more reassuring the enemy army will be.

In order to reassure the enemy and make them negligent, Master Zhang decided to let most of the people die, and if they die, then the chances of the rest of the people will be higher.

Watching Zhang Kai enter the inner hall, Master Zhang continued: "The men of the Zhang family, including worshippers, staff, long-term workers, etc., if you want to leave, there are ten thousand taels of gold here, you can take as much as you want, out of this Zhang Mansion, I wish you peace and prosperity, if you think of the old love, those who do not want to leave, will die with me." ”

The fact that the enemy is here is irreversible, although these men have some martial arts on their bodies, but in the face of regular elite cavalry, staying is death, and most of them will not survive if they leave the Zhang family. Of course, as long as they are motivated, they will definitely be able to bite the enemy first!

Boxes of gold were brought here, about ten boxes, 10,000 taels of gold!

There are more and more people in the lobby, and the people of the Zhang family have basically rushed here, blocking the lobby with water.

Seeing that no one was around, Tie Foot cleared his throat, coughed a few times, and walked out. He is one of the best tasks in the enshrinement, and has the reputation of "swinging Guanbei with one leg", first saluted Master Zhang, and then said:

"Over the years, how the Zhang family has treated us, we all know that the one that should be given is not less, and the etiquette of the New Year's festival and red and white ceremonies has not been left behind, and there is a starting fee when the goods are charged, and there is a pension for the injury, besides, the lord you have the grace of reinvention to me, today Zhang County is in great danger, and I will leave easily, isn't it sorry for the Zhang family?"

"However, having said that, if the enemy army breaks the city, we will die in vain, it is better for us to leave first, and if Master Zhang needs it in the future, I will definitely die with iron feet!"

Tie Foot San's words are flat and incisive, and his expression is also generous and passionate, and he changes at will, and the changes in joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are in an instant. Looking at the color and listening to the sound, it was as if he had pulled out all the pockets of his heart.

Finally, he hugged his fist in regret, raised his head and strode forward, took a few gold bars, put them in his arms, and walked away without looking back.

These people are not stupid, they know that the enemy army came here so quickly, and they came for the Zhang family's gold and silver. If you stay in Zhang's house and try to resist together, you will definitely die, and there is still a glimmer of life when you go out on the street and pretend to be poor.

Most of the people are insisting on it for the sake of face, with an iron foot and three leaders, and they are so humble and not arrogant, they naturally follow the same example, leaving a sentence of "If Master Zhang needs it in the future, I will die forever!", and took a few gold bars and swaggered away.

The person who left did not explain the situation to the guests, but only prevaricated and said some minor accidents, probably trying to use these guests as a shield. Some of the guests were smart enough to notice something, a handful of them left first, and most of them were still drinking.

Most of the people took the gold nuggets and left, the thin-skinned ones took less, the thick-skinned ones took more, and the huge Zhang family was scattered overnight, leaving only the Zhang family's own family and some loyal servants.

"Second brother, what are your soldiers' plans?" Master Zhang was not affected by the departure of his subordinates, staff and others, his face was still normal, and there was even more heroism in his words, since he knew that he was going to die, he naturally wanted to die more openly.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!" the second master's answer was short and powerful.

"Although it is said that there is a fight to the death, but everything has a life, my side is ready, each person has a pair of our Zhang's special military boots, there is a pound of gold in the shoes, if they are lucky not to die, they also have money. ”

The second master nodded, and did not object, and the old man Zhang over there also continued: "In addition to selling precious metals in the Zhang family over the years, there are also some high-quality metals backlogged, some of which have already been made into military armor weapons, and there are still more than 200 armed people, and the armor is in the secret room in the backyard, wait and move." ”

"Good. ”

A day ago, Master Zhang was planning to get rid of all the valuables, and by the way, he drugged the second master and took him out of here to continue to be his Master Zhang. At this point, it's a little more decisive.

Everyone else got Mr. Zhang's arrangement and left the lobby. Only Zhang Hui and Zhang Wu were left hanging their heads over there and waiting. The two of them have always been afraid of Master Zhang, and they have been afraid since they were children.

Master Zhang stared at the two of them for a while, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhang Hui and said, "The catastrophe is coming, why didn't you go to the prison cloud pass with your daughter-in-law just now?"

Zhang Hui didn't answer, he knew that Master Zhang understood his thoughts, and he had already answered. Zhang Wu saw that Zhang Hui didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that the two of them hung their heads and didn't speak, Master Zhang paced, sighed, and said to himself: "It's also, it's also, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the Zhang family's qi has been used." ”

After a while, Master Zhang turned to the two of them and said, "Do you two know the highest level of martial arts?"

Master Zhang's words led Zhang Hui and Zhang Wu to raise their heads at the same time and look at him suspiciously.

"It is undeniable that Zhang Wu, your martial arts talent is rare to see, and in time, you will become a party, but the achievement can only go so far, because you are not smart enough to know what is good like water. ”

Master Zhang twisted his beard and continued: "When water is poured into a cup, water becomes a cup, and water is poured into a pot, it becomes a pot, Zhang Hui, you may be able to understand this truth in the future." ”

"I understand it now. Zhang Hui replied. Originally, when water is poured into a cup, it has the shape of a cup, and when water is poured into a pot, it has the shape of a pot, even Zhang Wu understands this.
