The sound coming from outside the house was very harsh, but it did not attract Liu Zhang's attention. He already knew who was shouting outside.
"Zhou Shen, do you still dare to come to see me?"
Zhou Shen walked in with his soldiers and bowed to Liu Zhang first.
"General Hou, now that we have defeated the Xiliang Army, the merits are no longer important. Why is General Hou so aggressive?"
Liu Zhang gradually took back the sharp blade in his hand and turned to look at Zhou Shen, his eyes filled with contempt.
Zhou Shen's idea was very simple. He wanted to rely on righteousness to persuade Liu Zhang not to do stupid things.
However, Zhou Shen was obviously overthinking. He didn't realize that he was still in a state of insecurity, and he even thought about saving Zhang Wen!
Liu Zhang's expression suddenly changed and he immediately changed into a fierce look. Zhou Shen did not expect Liu Zhang's sudden change of expression and was startled.
In this gap, Liu Zhang quickly stepped forward and kicked Zhou Shen to the ground. Then he stepped hard and pinned Zhou Shen to the ground with his feet!
All this happened so suddenly that Zhou Shen didn't react until he was stepped on the ground by Liu Zhang, and his brain was still confused.
"General Zhou!"
The soldiers brought by Zhou Shen were all his personal guards. Seeing that Zhou Shen was trampled under Liu Zhang's feet, they all came forward with roars.
The soldiers and horses under Liu Zhang were not vegetarians. Zhao Yuntai Shici was the first to attack, and they all showed their weapons, and a conflict was about to break out!
when!
Liu Zhang suddenly raised the sword in his hand, and then stabbed it down directly. The sword blade and the ground made a huge sound!
This loud noise immediately stopped the conflict and even shocked Zhou Shen's soldiers.
The long sword penetrated the ground a foot in front of Zhou Shen's eyes, and even Zhou Shen could see himself reflected in the sword!
"Ah! Don't be impulsive!"
Zhou Shen saw himself in a panic, and at the same time he finally woke up. He was already a piece of fish on the knife board, ready to be slaughtered!
"General Hou, spare your life! Spare your life!"
"Hehehehe..."
Liu Zhang did not expect that Zhou Shen, a military general, was actually more afraid of death than Zhang Wen, a civil servant! Moreover, his voice was full of begging for mercy.
"Zhou Shen, do I need you to preach to me?"
Although his head was firmly pressed to the ground by Liu Zhang, Zhou Shen still shook his head and denied it.
"No, no! I don't dare! General, please spare my life!"
Liu Zhang despised this kind of soft bones the most. He stepped on Zhou Shen's chest with constant force, and soon a scream came out.
"Ah! Ah! Spare your life! Ah! Spare your life, general!"
Liu Zhang suddenly used his right hand to pull out the long sword that was stuck on the ground, and then gently slapped Zhou Shen's face with the sword.
"Zhou Shen, I will give you a chance. If you don't answer well, I can't guarantee where this sword will be inserted next time..."
Zhou Shen burst into tears, made a fool of himself, and kept assuring Liu Zhang.
"General, please ask, I will definitely tell you everything you know!"
Liu Zhang was very satisfied and leaned forward in front of Zhou Shen.
"I asked you to set off in half an hour and then escort me out of the Hidden Valley. Why didn't you follow the order? Do you know how many soldiers I lost because of your own actions? Even I almost died!"
"Do you know?"
Liu Zhang's roaring questioning voice frightened Zhou Shen so much that he struggled to point his finger at Zhang Wen.
"It's not me! It's him! It's all Zhang Wen! He didn't let me go!"
"General Hou is unjust! It was all Zhang Wen's idea and none of my business!"
Liu Zhang also guessed that it was Zhang Wen's idea. After all, he felt that Zhou Shen should not be so courageous.
"Zhang Wen, what do you have to say?"
Zhang Wen glanced at Zhou Shen angrily. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shen was so spineless and sold him directly!
"Yes! I said it! How about it!"
Liu Zhang didn't expect Zhang Wen to admit it directly, so he couldn't help but look at him.
"Why did you do this? What good will it do to you? Have you forgotten that I saved your life a few months ago?"
"Save me? Haha! Then do I need to kneel down and kowtow to you three times to show my gratitude?"
Zhang Wen also took the risk, and he had already determined that Liu Zhang would not let him go.
"The most critical step in this strategy is to annihilate the main cavalry force of the Xiliang Army. If you sell me, who will seduce the Xiliang cavalry? Who will set fire to the thieves?"
"I don't care! I just want you to die!"
Zhang Wen roared, his voice full of resentment towards Liu Zhang!
"Haha, let me die? Don't you even look at who is the prisoner now!"
Liu Zhang smiled contemptuously, but did not put down Zhang Wen's resentment at all.
However, Liu Zhang really didn't expect Zhang Wen to have such hatred for him, and he couldn't figure out where he had offended him.
"Liu Zhang, you don't have to show off to me like a winner. Don't you want Zhang's head? Come on! Just chop it off! Let me see if you chop off my head, will His Majesty spare you?"
Zhang Wen changed his weak attitude and even became a little tougher.
After Zhou Shen's troubles, Zhang Wen was given enough time to think, and now he has calmed down. Although he is still afraid of the threat of death, his mind is no longer blank!
The meaning of Zhang Wen's words is also very obvious. You are powerful and you are the winner, but do you dare to kill me?
Who am I? Zhang Wen! The cavalry general conferred by His Majesty! The power of holiday!
If you kill me, you will be killing a member of the imperial court in vain, which is tantamount to treason! You will be punished as well.
"Hehehe..."
Liu Zhang saw through Zhang Wen's thoughts at a glance, and Zhang Wen's response was still his contemptuous laughter.
"Zhang Wen, Zhang Cheqi! Put away your petty thoughts. I really don't know whether to pity you or sympathize with you!"
"Have you forgotten where this is? This is a battlefield! What is a battlefield? The battlefield is for fighting to the death! I can kill both you and Zhou Shen. When the time comes, the enemy's spies will enter the city and assassinate us.
The cavalry general and the gangster general!"
As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, he heard the screams coming from Zhou Shen.
"Ah! No! No! Please spare my life, General Hou! I...I am willing to testify to General Hou! It was the assassin who killed Zhang Wen! I am willing to testify to General Hou!"
Liu Zhang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this person to be so shameless!
"Oh? General Zhou is really sensible."
Zhou Shen did not hear the implication of Liu Zhang's words at all, and continued to show his loyalty.
"Don't worry, General Hou. Even if His Majesty puts a knife on my neck in the future, Zhang Wen will still be killed by an assassin! It is absolutely none of General Hou's business!"
"From now on, I, Zhou Shen, will serve as General Hou's subordinate. If General Hou asks me to go east, I will never go west!"
Liu Zhang's eyes were filled with disdain. He really couldn't understand how someone like Zhou Shen could become a bandit general!
"No need, I, Liu Zhang, don't keep sycophants in my post-general's palace! But there is a lack of a watchdog at the door..."
When Zhou Shen heard Liu Zhang talking about not raising villains, he looked obviously panicked, but when he heard about watchdogs, he was overjoyed!
"General Hou, I am willing to be a watchdog! I like being a dog!"
