The guardian's heart trembled. He knew that if the circle of sleeve arrows were just a little higher, it would be enough to make him lose his footing and fall off the cliff.
But Wang Dan didn't mean to take his life, and wanted to have a "mountaintop barbecue meal" with him with "good wine and good meat", which made him have more doubts:
"Is he really not here to kill me?"
The barbecue bonfire has been lit. It has just passed its peak and the fire core is red. It is the best time to place the wild boar.
"Come on! Plug it in!"
Wang Dan threw over a wooden stick that had been sharpened at one end, and motioned to the guards to insert the wild boar into it and put it on the fire to burn.
But it was this "pointy" head that made the guardian hesitate for a second:
Like a flash of calcium carbide, he had already rehearsed a whole set of scenarios: he would throw the pointed stick back when Wang Dan wasn't paying attention, and it would just hit his heart, and then he could take the opportunity to escape!
However, the "ring of fire" at the foot of the mountain has receded but has not disappeared, still reminding him: Where can he escape? It's just a matter of dying earlier or dying later!
Perhaps because of hunger in his belly, coupled with this deduction, the guardian finally suppressed this "one second" thought, slowly picked up the wild boar on the ground, and penetrated it with his mouth. , until the hindquarters came out, the internal organs in the abdomen could not be dug out, so they were put on the barbecue grill together and slowly turned aside.
The aroma of wild boar meat soon filled the air, and the minister was convinced by his stomach:
"Even if you die, you have to be a 'full man'! If you don't eat, you'll get nothing! Eat until you're full first! No matter what!"
When Wang Dan saw the sincerity of the guard's attitude towards turning the wild boar, he knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but secretly determined:
"This time, he doesn't dare to play any more tricks!"
"Come on, come on, this wine is good, have a sip!"
Wang Dan unbuttoned the wine gourd, took a big sip by himself, closed his eyes and frowned, and then handed the wine gourd over.
Although the guardian had doubts in his heart, he still took it. After all, he was in this situation, and there was no "defense" left to set up. So he raised his neck and took a sip, and then the whole esophagus My body and stomach seemed to be on fire, it was unbearably hot, but it was extremely pleasurable!
"Really good wine!"
The two of them were "you taking a bite, and I was taking a bite," and the pork, which was roasted and fragrant with oily flowers, was also "a piece for you and a piece for me." They ate it to their heart's content, and no one who suddenly looked on could believe it. , these are two enemies who are chasing each other and fighting to the death.
When this pair of "enemies" were full of wine and their eyes were hot and their hands were burning, the "nature" suppressed by the wine and meat was "called out" by the alcohol:
I saw the two of them touching each other's foreheads and holding each other's shoulders. Suddenly, the "friendship" and "kissing" turned into a "fight to the death"!
The unburned ash fire was scattered everywhere when they were beaten and kicked, and the bones fell apart. In addition to the mess, some dead branches and shrubs in the surrounding circle were also ignited by the flying sparks!
"You villain, you are harming my son!"
"I don't know, this talented person is really a villain! Do you really have a lot of thoughts on how to cause chaos to the Hua clan?"
…
The two were beating and scolding each other, and even the uneaten fragrant wild boar meat was ruined by their beatings.
As soon as the mountain fire started to break out, the "line of fire" at the bottom quickly closed in and moved up. With the strength of the people, the mountain fire was quickly extinguished, and the "indeterminate" hand-to-hand combat was also calmed down.
The guard was tied up, but he was not afraid. When he was dragged away, he kept kicking his legs in the air at Wang Dan, cursing and refusing to admit defeat:
"You have a large number of people, and you use your numbers to bully the few. How can you be considered a hero? If you have the guts, continue the fight! Fight again! I'm not afraid of you! Come on! You coward! You're a coward!"
Wang Dan had given him a chance to have a "fair fight", but he was not as skilled as others, and the scolding at this time was just to save his own face and find a way out.
After thanking Xiangxu, Wang Dan took the defender into custody and sent a group of soldiers to Xiangxu to drive him back to Tan in a special car.
Along the way, Wang Dan traveled day and night, fearing that his speed would slow down and something might happen to Yang Zhen.
When his motorcade approached Tancheng, he could see people walking around in the city from a distance, and it seemed that they were not on patrol as usual.
Looking towards the "city flag" on the city, I saw that the word "Tan" was missing, replaced by a big "Wu"!
This surprised Wang Dan: Could it be? The state of Tan was destroyed by the state of Wu? How short of a time has this happened? Why didn't he hear any news about such a big thing?
Just as he was escorting the vehicle towards the city gate with a puzzled look on his face, he only heard children playing and singing on the roadside:
"When my land comes to the east, the sun rises and is scorching; when my water comes to the west, the water flows."
Wang Dan stopped a passerby and asked what was going on. The man replied:
"The Kingdom of Tan is gone! The Kingdom of Tan is gone! We are all citizens of the Kingdom of Wu! Citizens of the Kingdom of Wu!"
Another passerby rushed over, pushed him, and yelled: "You are talking nonsense! We are all citizens of the Lu Kingdom! Tanzi recognizes it!"
On one side, several people came over to start a fight, and said slowly: "Don't care about Wu or Lu. Tanzi is my lord, and Tan is my country! Don't recognize your ancestors randomly!"
Seeing the confusion of the people standing in line and the shaking figure on the city gate, it became clear that the "flag bearers" soldiers above were probably debating which flag should be hung.
Wang Dan shook his head, sighed, and went to the city on his own. He first found the owner of Tan and exchanged the sheep for the wine.
The guard in the car was tied tightly and his mouth was gagged, but his ears could clearly hear the movements outside. When he understood that "the city gate was changing the king's flag" outside, he felt a sudden change in his heart. Hi, I think this is definitely a good thing for me! Since there is no consensus on what flag to hang, then his "inability to drop the flag" is not a thing at all!
In other words, his life was saved!
Tan Zi met Wang Dan and the fugitive and former "guardian". As expected, he did not punish him anymore, but immediately released him and let him go home.
Wang Dan thought to himself that the people he had worked so hard to capture had no effect at all. When he was about to ask anxiously what to do with Yang Zhen, Tan Zi patted him on the shoulder and whispered:
"Don't worry, Uncle Ping'an, he is 'Uncle Ping'an' after all. At this moment, no one dares to accuse him! Lu troops are pressing down on the northern border. I have sent 'General Zhao' to put on his armor again and defend the enemy in the northern border. went!"
"Ah?! In other words, he can exercise military power again without any objection?"
"That's true!"
