Three hundred and thirtieth chapters sad and weeping farewell (2)
【Somewhere in the wild】
"Why are you facing the brothers from Erlong Mountain again..." Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi were sitting in the darkness outside the military tent. Lu Zhishen didn't ask in a questioning tone, but he broke the silence between the two of them while they were drinking.
Yang Zhi did not take over the conversation, he raised his neck and took a big sip of wine. Scenes from the past appeared in Yang Zhi's mind... In that canyon, in order to share the danger of the elder brother, the Erlong Mountain brothers, He stood up without hesitation, using his body and life to block all the deadly knives, and fell into a pool of blood one by one, still without regrets... What I don't want to remember the most now is what happened in front of the Erlong Mountain Village. Everything that happened, each brother fell into the hands of the elite soldiers he brought out.
At first, Yang Zhi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the choice he made. However, as he watched the five or six brothers being brutally murdered, until he saw the village wailing and shaking, he suddenly felt a desire in his heart. The voice came, whether my choice was wrong, whether I should listen to Lu Zhishen's words, kill these people, rob the wealth and go up the mountain, but when everything ended at the moment of cutting off the head, I was tortured by life and death. The brothers left heroically. Yang Zhi gathered his troops and left with no choice but to "coldly" look at the eyes of the Erlongshan brothers full of suspicion and confusion.
On the official road heading south, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi carefully talked about his arrangements. As early as when Lu Zhishen got the news from Yang Zhi and left the village, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Lu Zhishen arranged such a killing place. The move could have been perfect, but the opportunity is often fleeting. Lu Zhishen imagined many situations that would happen, but he never thought that it was Yang Zhi who hindered him. Now, he has fallen into such a bad situation. The embarrassing situation of not being able to do it was really embarrassing for Lu Zhishen to scold him, and it would be wrong not to scold him.
Lu Zhishen looked at Yang Zhi's depressed and unhappy look. There was an expression of depression everywhere in his sluggish eyes and stiff face. Lu Zhishen knew that Yang Zhi was unhappy in his heart, but it was precisely this unhappiness that made Lu Zhishen Yang Zhi regained his former loyalty.
Lu Zhi sighed deeply and changed the topic: "What are your plans from now on?"
Yang Zhi sighed and said: "If we can reach Bianliang, Tokyo safely, everything will be settled."
Lu Zhishen let out a long sigh and said, "What about me in the Sa family? Your lieutenant has noticed something fishy. How can you explain it to the superiors?"
"It's easy to say, Lieutenant General. There are three other people who know all about you and me. We must try to get rid of them on the way, otherwise, there will be endless troubles." After Yang Zhi said this, he glanced around. There was no one around him within ten steps. Then he continued: "There are inevitably opportunities to make contributions along the way. When I return to Daming Mansion in Beijing, I will recommend you. Liang Zhongshu cherishes talents, especially people as outstanding as his brother, and will reuse them. After we have settled in, we can come back and recruit the brothers from Erlongshan to go out and stay together in the military camp. Although we are not as happy as in the village, we have a decent background and a stable salary. We can protect our family and country and make contributions. Not only will it bring glory to the Lord, but a hundred years later it will have the face to meet the ancestors underground, and it will also benefit future generations.”
Lu Zhishen listened but did not answer. He looked up at the stars in the sky, lost in thought.
"It's almost time, it's time to hit the road," Yang Zhi said, holding the Pu Dao in his hand, stood up, gathered his troops and went forward.
Yang Zhi mounted his horse and sent out a ten-man vanguard force to clear the way as usual, and then he drove his horse to the side of the deputy general Qin Fei.
Yang Zhi didn't speak, and Qin Fei spoke in a low voice, as if talking to himself: "Actually, you can kill me."
Yang Zhi did not expect that Qin Fei would cut into the topic of what was difficult for him to say as soon as he opened his mouth. At this moment, Qin Fei continued very calmly: "I don't believe it when I say you are a bandit. , all the brothers under my command don’t believe it, but now not only do I believe it, but I also know that you must be the head of Erlongshan. The so-called guard of Daming Mansion is actually your equal brother. He is very skilled. Very, if Tihar hadn’t stopped you, I might have been his victim.”
Yang Zhi didn't say anything. Originally, Yang Zhi was thinking of making up excuses to cover up. Now that everyone has talked about it, there is nothing to avoid.
Qin Fei continued: "Tiha, I know you must hate me for killing your men. After all, I could have let them go in the dense forest at that time." At this point, Qin Fei no longer looked at that person. Shan Ya turned his head, looked at Yang Zhi sincerely, and said: "But, I can't. If I let them go, you will come back one day. If I kill them, I will cut them off." It’s not just the escape route in your mind, taking over, being an official or a gangster,”
Yang Zhi never thought that Qin Fei would say such words, and he never thought that someone would protect him like this. Yang Zhi had thousands of words stuck in his chest for a while. He stood firmly across the distance between the horses. He patted Qin Fei on the shoulder, as if all this was expressed in him, Yang Zhi said with a faint choke in his voice: "Good brother, let's walk together,"
Qin Fei understood what Yang Zhi was thinking, and the tense expression on his face suddenly burst into a smile. He pulled the reins, turned the horse around and ran around the chariot, shouting: "Hurry up and drive faster. We will arrive in Tokyo, where we will be prosperous and wealthy. "
Qin Fei went happily. Lu Zhishen saw it and knew that Yang Zhi must have done his job as deputy general, so he rode forward and stood beside Yang Zhi and said: "Further ahead is the peach blossom." On the mountain, I heard that the leader was Li Zhong, the tiger general, and the second was Zhou Tong, the little bully. These two men gathered five to six hundred bandits on the top of the mountain, and committed murder, arson, and robbery of homes. The officers and soldiers strangled them repeatedly. But not,"
"It turns out that we are half neighbors. I think they don't have the guts to disturb the officers and soldiers," Yang Zhi said here, glanced at Lu Zhishen and said, "If they dare to come, I will meet them."
"Those three birds were muttering in the back just now. The Sa family is really impatient. If not, let's find an excuse and chop those three birds with one knife," Lu Zhishen said in a low voice.
"No way," Yang Zhi immediately objected and said, "If we kill them like this, the Daming Mansion will definitely punish them. However, if the people from Taohuashan do it, then I will bear the joint responsibility alone."
Lu Zhishen thought that this was right, so he said nothing.
The group of people were walking on the night road like this. Even the old governor and the two Yu Hou didn't know why. Qin Fei and the elite soldiers all seemed very excited, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
Just like this, while rushing on the night road, the hours passed by little by little, and unknowingly, the white fish belly appeared in the east. Just when the old man opened his mouth and yawned and was about to stretch his waist again, suddenly a roar appeared next to the official road. A group of men and horses came with an earth-shattering shout of killing, and in a moment they came out with axes and hobs, and the old man saw it, and he couldn't help being startled, and almost fell off his horse.
As soon as Yang Zhi saw the overwhelming momentum of the people coming, before he could move his horse, he saw Lu Zhishen immediately riding up the horse, like a bolt of lightning passing by him, and the big sword in his hand was like a windmill. Dancing like a dragon, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, he suddenly cut a bloody path in the minions charging like a tide. The officers and soldiers behind saw this and couldn't help but marvel, and after shaking their heads for a moment, they hurriedly fought. The horse followed up with a sword, and an indescribable momentum spread out, like a sharp blade, as powerful as breaking a bamboo, and it killed the minions who came out three times and fled in all directions.
Just when everyone was about to go on a killing spree and beat up the drowned dogs, another shout of kill came from behind, and a man surrounded by everyone came towards the horse with a spear.
Lu Zhishen saw this and immediately clapped his horse to meet him. The two exchanged no more than two moves. The man knew he was no match, so he quickly feinted and clapped his horse and ran away.
When the little minions saw that their eldest brother was no match for him and passed away, the only remaining fighting spirit in their hearts collapsed. The people who were being killed by the officers and soldiers all around cried for their fathers and cried for their mothers and ran away, as if these people were not the ones who rushed out in the first place. Likewise, all the bluffing momentum immediately disappeared.
The officers and soldiers were so energetic that they chased the minions from Taohuashan to the mountain stronghold before giving up. It was already half an hour later when they gathered their troops and started on the road again. The officers and soldiers were on horseback escorting the escort carriage of the birthday gang. , they all murmured in private that Lu Zhishen was another tough guy, and they had heard about the complexity of Yang Zhi's background, and now they invisibly added a touch of mystery to Yang Zhi.
"What else can we call a tiger general and a little bully? They can't stand the Sa family's simple punishment," Lu Zhishen said, leaning into Yang Zhi's ear and saying: "If we had known that they were so careless, we should have done it earlier. Kill them, stand on the top of this mountain, and annex this guy,"
Yang Zhi smiled and said nothing. At this time, an officer and soldier from behind came to report: "Tiha, Laodu Guan was hit by an arrow in the fight just now. He was afraid that he would not be able to make it out of the way and wanted to be treated nearby. You see... …”
Yang Zhi ordered soldiers and horses to escort the birthday guide and continue to move forward. He and Lu Zhishen looked at each other, then rode towards the back and came to the old governor. His face was sallow and his forehead was covered with sweat as big as soybeans. , Qin Fei had already simply bandaged him up, and he could barely bear the pain and ride on the horse. He really couldn't bear the pain of the bumps.
Yang Zhi looked at the injury with a very concerned look on his face and said: "Oh, this arrow hurts the chest. If the arrow had been deflected by three points, I would have died. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky in the future, Laodu No matter what, there is no village in front of you, no store in back, there are gangsters along the way, and there is no where to go. You have to be patient and patient. After Huangnigang is the boundary of Jeju Prefecture, we will leave you there until your injury gets better. It will be round in Bianliang, Tokyo, what do you think?"
Yang Zhi's sudden politeness made Lao Duguan a little overwhelmed. However, when he heard that he had to move forward, he felt a little embarrassed. However, in this wilderness, what Yang Zhi said was true. There was really no other choice but to endure it, so Lao Duguan nodded, clasped his fists in the torture of labor pain and said, "I'm thinking of you, Tiha."
"Anyway, I'm on errands for the imperial court," Yang Zhi said and didn't talk nonsense with him anymore. He turned around and went to the front of the team.
Lu Zhishen looked at Yang Zhi coming up and asked in a low voice: "That old guy is not dead yet."
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "The fate is very great. The arrow was shot into the pit of the heart, but the guy was not shot to death... I have already agreed to that guy. After passing Huangnigang, I will leave him to recuperate in Jeju Mansion. I can't kill him anymore." , then we can only buy people to do it in Jeju Prefecture,"
Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "But I don't see those two bird men following him."
"I killed them all,"
Yang Zhi couldn't help but break out in a sweat after hearing this. He looked back and saw who it could be if it wasn't Qin Fei. Yang Zhi quickly looked back and saw that the officers and soldiers behind him didn't pay attention to their conversation, so he felt relieved. He called Qin Fei, who was following the horse, to come forward and lowered his voice and asked: "You really killed those two Yuhou,"
"The old governor is all my fault. If I don't kill them, when they get to Bianliang, Tokyo, they will kill you," Qin Fei said very sensibly.
"It's a pity that I heard it now, and then the Yamen will kill you," Lu Zhishen said without turning his face.
Qin Fei smiled heartily and disagreed. He knew that this big man seemed to be reckless, but he was very clear in his heart. His intention was just to ask him to be careful that there are ears behind the walls. The reason why he was so unscrupulous was because he thought that he would not have any troops under his command after fighting all the way. For those who are dissatisfied with Yang Zhi, as long as Yang Zhi's banner is not hopelessly crooked, everyone will still be willing to protect Yang Zhi.
"No matter who dies, that old man is definitely dead..."
