As they were about to go down the mountain, Jiang Run and his entourage had strange expressions on their faces. They wanted to hide their faces and find a gap in the rocks to get in. They even forgot to reach out to take the dry food and meat handed to them by the soldiers, until Zhang Weilu After coughing a few times, he came back to his senses and quickly got on the horse's back.
All the soldiers around were suppressing the laughter that crept into their throats, trying not to look at the embarrassed looks of these dozen followers. From time to time, they heard several long-suppressed wine burps in their ears, and they just pretended that they had never happened at all. After hearing this, he stretched his face as flat as possible and stood on both sides of his general.
"The dozen or so people you brought here are really brave."
Bai Negiji also had a strange look on his face. He turned his head and frowned and said, "Where did you find this strange man? It stands to reason that everyone in Qiling should know about the grudges between me and your father Qi Xiang." After that, he raised his eyes and looked at the horse. The dozen or so embarrassed followers said, "Mr. Zhang is very skilled. If I, the general, have malicious intentions, I think you can protect yourself. But with your ability, you are not afraid that I will do something bad?"
It turned out that the two of them had just left the tent together and walked not far from the camp gate when they heard screams in the military tent. It was not until General Bai opened the tent curtain in person that he saw a dozen followers among them, who were already being killed. When he returned, he was offered wine in Beitang. The latter, with his eyes bare, insisted on ordering these dozen people to drink all the wine from the jar, otherwise he would look down on the Zhennan Army and not even give him some thin noodles in the Beitang.
In terms of their ability to guess people's hearts and solve their master's worries, these dozen Prime Minister's followers are probably the rare solid helpers in Qi Ling; but when it comes to their ability to drink, these dozen Prime Minister's followers, even if they put on a good show, Taking turns to deal with it, how can it be the enemy of the giant Beitang Feng.
Unable to fight for a drink, these followers begged for mercy, waving their hands repeatedly, saying that the strong man really has an extraordinary capacity for drinking, and it was difficult for us to drink all the large bottles of wine. It is true that these dozen or so people were traveling with the young master in a dark mood today. They were not drinking at a time when they were not supposed to be drinking, but they took advantage of drinking to strengthen their courage because they were worried. It is difficult for Tang Feng's subordinates to escape and drink.
The man had just paid homage to his former robe, and he was filled with sadness and anger. Moreover, he had disliked Zhang Weilu before. When he heard that General Bai was talking to the latter in the commander's tent, he immediately became angry and glared at the head of his head. , anyway, he wants all his followers to have a good time drinking with him.
Except that Jiang Run didn't touch the glasses in the first place. He found an excuse to say that if he drank alcohol, he would be itching all over his body, so he barely escaped.
The miserable screams came from the mouths of these attendants, which really made Beitang Fengsheng resist. Half of the attendants choked on the wine and banged the table. This was how General Bai later raised the curtain.
Without exception, Beitang Feng was punished again, dragging a body that could smell the smell of alcohol from a few miles away, and after receiving a powerful kick that was in vain, he went to collect thirty army sticks in frustration.
Seeing that his colleagues were all staggering drunk, Jiang Run, the only one among the entourage, had no choice but to ignore the gazes of the soldiers around him, abandon the reserved sign of serving in the prime minister's office, and stepped forward to report back with a straight face.
"I have seen the general. My colleagues are brave and have little experience. They rarely leave the prime minister's house. When they went south for the first time to see the power of the Zhennan Army, they were all a little uneasy. For a moment, they forgot about themselves. His behavior and conversation coincided with the time when the gentleman brought wine into the tent, so I had to drink to strengthen my courage, but I didn't want to break the rules. If I really violated the military laws, we are willing to lead the military laws and be punished."
Bai Negiji smiled instead of being angry. He turned to Zhang Weilu and said with a smile, "From this point of view, among the group of followers led by Mr. Zhang, only the one in front of him can be said to be truly courageous. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resisted." The person who lives in Beitang is so temperamental that he doesn’t even drink."
"But what I don't understand is that you are a member of the prime minister's palace and not a member of the military. If I punish you with military law, wouldn't it be a bit unruly?" Although the drunkenness faded not long ago, my charm at this time was in vain. It was still a few minutes clear just now, and he looked directly at Jiang Run.
"The general is out and you are not receiving your orders, let alone punishing the mere entourage of the prime minister's office."
Jiang Run blurted out.
He has never been a courageous person. Except for meeting Prime Minister Qi once in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has never seen any big scenes. Otherwise, he would not accept a few words from his colleagues, so he ruthlessly gave away the jade pendant passed down from his family to a person. And gave it to Mr. Zhang just to save his life.
It seems that he was just a businessman who struggled to make a living among ordinary people. The so-called chattering among the scholars and talking about lotus was just for a few dozen copper coins.
Qiling Fucheng always treats business negotiations as lame and ground, which means that the buyer and seller are like lame and the ground, always inseparable and unable to go anywhere.
Rumor has it that Jiang Tiekou was very measured in his words. He was asked to deal with both parties so much that he never turned red-faced and never ruined a business deal.
But only he, Jiang Run, knows why he has never ruined his business. He has never been so lame as to reach the ground. It is just because he, Jiang Run, has already put his face in the middle before he limps to the ground and lets others do whatever he wants. As long as you have a lot of copper money to get rid of your hairpin with a dirty face, that is a great thing.
However, Jiang Run spoke frankly and calmly. Even though he was standing in front of him, who was the most important official in Qiling officialdom, his voice was calm and steady, without any trace of the virtues of a businessman.
Bai Negiji clicked his tongue in amazement and glanced meaningfully at Zhang Weilu, "The general is out there, and the emperor's orders are not accepted. This is very true. I think this is how I acted when the general was unknown, even though I suffered a lot of losses. , but in the end, he climbed up to his current official position step by step."
"It's different."
Dozens of people rode down Changchuan River in the dark.
Walking through the long rocks, a good horse seems to be chasing the moon with clouds in its mouth, but when you see the breeze holding the moon, foxes and rabbits shuttle among the rivers, you feel like you are in a state of ease.
Regardless of the surrounding scenery, the dozen or so drunken followers did not dare to have the slightest idea of looking around. Where could they see the surrounding mountains and night scenery like smoke and water waves? They all remained silent, waiting for Mr. Zhang who was always not far ahead. speak.
The entourage in the Prime Minister's Mansion is extremely important, and they include many capable people and strangers. Although the abilities of these dozen of them are far inferior to those of the best, they still stepped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But this time when he went south, instead of helping the young master, he actually set up obstacles for Zhang Weilu at every turn. He first encouraged Jiang Run to go and save his life, which was an unpleasant act, and then he exposed such a joke in the Zhennan military camp. trouble.
Qi Xiang is generous, but there are not a few people in the Zhang family who wield swords for him. What's more, after Zhang Qing's death, the great responsibility of the Zhang family to carry the plaque in the family in the future has almost been placed on Zhang Weilu's shoulders.
How can one be entrusted with a big responsibility if he is not decisive and ruthless in killing?
The barefoot man with a bright moon hanging on his chest suddenly spoke, startling a few rustling birds in the treetops.
"Actually, my father has already explained in the letter that you are not the outstanding ones among the followers. Your skills are complicated and cannot be regarded as dragon-slaying skills. If something doesn't go your way or the results are insufficient, you can do whatever you want."
It was not until this time that the dozen or so middle-class followers of the Prime Minister's Mansion woke up from a dream: It was not because Prime Minister Qi thought they were very capable, but he was just testing these dozen lives to see if they had not been addicted to them for so many years. Whether a martial arts master has enough character and means will determine whether he is decisive in killing.
Zhang Weilu threw the jade pendant back to Jiang Run, who reluctantly caught the jade pendant and remained silent.
"Jiang Run has earned your lives this time. If there is a next time, I'm afraid it won't be enough to save your lives." The man's tone was still calm, without any murderous intent leaking out, but The surrounding night became even colder for no reason.
"After going down the mountain to deliver the letter, I want to visit Qiling. After all, I am always in the master's sect. I don't know what the world is like. I have to trouble you all along the way. I always keep my word. Since I have taken over Chiang Kai-shek A moist jade pendant will definitely protect your lives, but the same is true for the second half of the sentence."
When more than ten riders fled down the mountain road, the man who was still hovering in the air slightly narrowed his eyes.
Killing is never difficult, nor is it difficult to travel alone in the world, but whether it is a wonderful encounter through practice or the help of a person who is convinced by kindness and power.
More is always better.
