At the end of May, which may be the hottest period of the year, the road south of Dengzhou Daying stretched for dozens of miles and was a mess.
On one side are the organized soldiers, ceremonial guards, and queues; on the other side are the disorderly running, announcing, escaping, and dodging... And the two can always be seamlessly switched. The maintainer of order just now will soon fall into some kind of chaos. Reduced to being the ones being enforced, the rebel army just organized by the enforcers has to maintain order in turn.
Moreover, the information is extremely confusing, and there are rumors flying all over the place that are not known to be true or false.
After a while, someone announced that the saint had promised to reward the three armies greatly when they arrived in Xuzhou, and they would reward them again when they arrived in Jiangdu. Later, there were rumors that Xianggong Yu had gone to see the saint and wanted to send the palace maid to Dongdu. A taxi soldier became his wife; when he turned around, someone else said that General So-and-so had rebelled... Anyway, it didn't matter whether it was true or not, it was basically just for fun.
The most absurd major incident occurred in the afternoon of that day. Seeing that there was no shade on the road ahead, a group of Guanxi garrison troops stopped in a mountain col on the roadside. They refused to go on the road and instead yelled at the passing troops. , shouting and pushing, obstructing the journey, and no one dared to take care of it for a while.
But at this moment, by coincidence, a Beiya father-in-law passed the imperial edict from the front to the back... The imperial edict was intended to let Xue Changxiong, who had gone to Hejian with his headquarters, take over the security of Hebei, and punish and clean up the thieves in Hebei... The result was that The leader of the garrison stopped the angel and after asking, he immediately turned around and announced that the saint had asked them all from Guanxi to go to Hebei to listen to General Xue Changxiong's assignment.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of organized troops retreated directly towards the main camp behind them. It was not clear whether they had really misunderstood or were pretending to be confused.
However, since Lai Zhan'er gritted his teeth and agreed to the saint's request and made up his mind to organize the southward migration, how could he allow the troops to disperse like this?
It must be understood that although no one said it, the real senior officials understood that the saint was avoiding Dongdu and Emperor Cao Lin after the actual defeat of the Three Expeditions. And once the emperor arrives in Jiangdu, whether he wants to make peace with the emperor's uncle, confront him, or turn against him, the army is the core asset... As for Lai Zhan'er himself, he was originally unwilling to take power, but once he was in charge, he was No means or no prestige? Is it because I have no cultivation or no experience?
Ever since, after Shengjia decided to turn to Jiangdu, and even since the three conquests of Dongyi, the largest military law enforcement was implemented.
When Zhan'er came to take charge, the saint nodded, the two ministers approved, and the Beiya sent an order. Sima Huada, Sima Zheng and his son, Han Yingong, Zhao Guang and other generals gathered elite troops to suppress them. In the end, more than 800 people were beheaded, and the bloody headless corpses were thrown away. No one paid attention to them on the roadside, but their heads were hung behind the cavalry horses.
Then, these leading cavalry were handed over to Zhao Guang, whom the saint trusted very much, and were used uniformly for military discipline and suppression.
After everyone was silent and frightened, the team reiterated their emphasis, saying that no one was allowed to leave the team without permission unless ordered by the imperial decree, the decrees of the two prime ministers Yu and Zhang, the Duke Niu, and the direct military orders of Lai Zhan'er and the other generals in the army.
Otherwise, the military law patrol has the power to kill the fleeing person directly on the spot.
After this incident, the team finally entered a delicate balance that, although chaos and escape was inevitable, ultimately suppressed large-scale mutiny.
and was able to continue traveling south.
But again, things are always in a state of dynamic chaos, and this journey is bound to be uneven.
"So, are you planning to go to Huaishang and then turn around to take office in Wu'an?" On the night when military law was emphasized, in the roadside camp that had just been set up, Xianggong Yu Changji didn't say much after hearing the words, but stood in front of Chaosheng the person asked back. "There must be some hidden secret here, right?"
"yes."
Zhang Xing hesitated and answered sincerely. "It's a matter of Jing'antai... There are three groups of people in Jing'antai in front of the imperial court, all of whom want to return to the Eastern Capital. But when it comes to Huaishang, the Huaiyou League itself is the official downline directly supported by Jing'antai, and it was also personally organized by the official that day. Li... what they mean is that they hope that for the sake of love, I will use some connections while we are on the Huaihe River to separate them quietly by dividing the boats, so as not to cause trouble."
Yu Changji nodded: "That makes sense."
"Is there any obstacle here?" Zhang Xing became more sincere. "Will the imperial court have any special consideration on this matter?"
"There is no such thing." Yu Changji looked at the other party indifferently, but his words were still easy-going and relaxed. "Dongdu was the eastern capital of the Wei Dynasty, and Jiangdu was also the Jiangdu of the Wei Dynasty. The people in Jingantai originally followed the army to suppress public security in places along the way. Now that they have returned from the Eastern Expedition victorious, they can naturally go back... Of course, many things in Dongdu People who come from both families tend to be homesick, so you are right to keep a low profile."
Zhang Xing also nodded and was about to turn back, but after taking two steps, he turned back and stopped. His tone was as serious as ever: "Where is Mr. Yu? Is there any family member who wants to go back to Dongdu to report and make arrangements? I am willing to help."
Yu Changji took a moment to look at this young man who was not an unknown person, but then slowly shook his head: "My brothers and several sons are accompanying officials and do not need to go back, but my wife and stepson in Dongdu are only in Dongdu." You are all enjoying wealth and wealth, so there is no need to come here... You are overthinking."
Zhang Xing nodded again, turned and left.
Immediately, he went directly to Zhang Han, told Yu Changji what he said honestly, and asked the same question.
Zhang Han's reply was actually very similar, and seemed very straightforward: "I'm the only one here, and I'm from the south, so I must accompany him properly. As for my family in Dongdu, they will have their own say in the future, so there is no rush."
Zhang Xing could only nod, but he mentioned another thing: "Fulong Guards abides by His Majesty's will and has ten people accompanying Mr. Zhang. Should this rule continue now?"
Zhang Han was finally stunned, but after only a moment he responded seriously: "Of course the people from Jing'an Taichung Town Fusi can return to the east capital, but Fulongwei cannot. Although they belong to Jing'an Taichung Town Fusi, their responsibilities are Special...Vice Chang Zhang...Jun Jun Zhang, Zhang Sanlang, you have to stand firm! I know you are going to Wu'an to be the county guard, but as the saying goes, a good beginning must end well, at least you have to stand firm now!"
"I understand, Fulongwei's service will continue." Zhang Xing nodded knowingly. "As for someone in the Fulong Guard who wants to return to the Eastern Capital, I will try my best to appease...but please bear with Mr. Zhang, I am a person who is about to step down after all. I am afraid that Bai Changjian will have to make the decision on some matters, and Bai Changjian I’m afraid I can’t interfere with the prosecutor’s position.”
"Actually, doesn't Bai Changjian have His Highness the Prince of Qi? That is the serious Shaocheng in charge of Fusi in Xizhen, and His Highness the Prince of Qi must be going to Jiangdu to accompany him." After saying this, Zhang Han The husband probably realized that his words were unreasonable and could only sigh on the spot. "In short, the country's affairs are difficult. Zhang Sanlang must know how to tolerate each other for the sake of the country. If the situation is not right, or Bai Changjian needs to make a decision, you may wish to send me a message and I can give you some advice... Let's go back to what we did when we retreated. Same."
Zhang Xing nodded and said yes, then said goodbye.
Immediately, he went to find Xue Liang.
The latter was wary of Zhang Sanlang's arrival, but after hearing the whole story, he was relieved for a moment, and then asked one after another: "So, Mr. Yu knows the difficulties of our Jing'antai, and allows us to leave? But? Wait until Huaishang, follow your unified arrangements, follow the path of the Huaiyou Alliance, separate ships and leave in a low-key manner? Without alerting others? "
"Yes." Zhang Xing still spoke sincerely. Everyone he met today was sincere, only more sincere, not the most sincere. "I know that I have some issues with Luo Zhushou, but I also ask Xue Zhushou to consider the overall situation and make it clear and proper with Luo and Zhang Zhushou... From today on, when you go to Huaishang, you can stay away from the emperor and stay with Fulongwei. We need to act independently on the periphery to keep a low profile, so as not to be inappropriate at some point... Because at this time, one word from someone in front of you may ruin everyone's life and future."
Xue Liang nodded heavily and agreed: "I understand. I will try my best to persuade you from Big Brother and Zhang Zhushou... At this time, you really shouldn't think too much."
Zhang Xing didn't say much, but continued to visit others.
In this way, that night, Zhang Sanlang visited more than a dozen places, including acquaintances such as Wang Daiji, Sima Zheng, Eunuch Yu, Captain Ding... and received different responses.
However, no matter what, after going around in such a circle, even though the news has not completely spread, there is no doubt that in the so-called small circle of special agents, interested people have already known a few things:
First of all, the people in Jingantai seem to be preparing to leave Yujia and return to Dongdu, and they have vaguely obtained the tacit approval of Xianggong Yu... This is completely conceivable and a matter of course... Dongdu and Jiang are unlikely to quarrel, and The three patrol teams sent by Jingantai this time have three Zhu Shou. Two Zhu Shou are the adopted sons of Uncle Cao Huang, and one is the biological son of one of the Eight Nobles of the Eastern Capital. They have no reason not to go back.
Secondly, it is uncertain whether Fulongwei will stay or go. Fulongwei himself definitely wants to return to the Eastern Capital with Jin Yi Xunqi, but it seems that the superiors do not allow it, and they are still discussing in private... This is of course.
Finally, Zhang Sanlang had some channels at his disposal, probably around Huaishang, which could allow a small number of people to easily split up and leave by boat when crossing the Huaihe River, without conflicting with the large army or causing commotion.
This channel also received the acquiescence of Xianggong Yu.
Thanks to this news, in the next two or three days, more and more people from the imperial espionage force came to Zhang Xing for verification and discussions. This was just like the previous encounter with Fulongwei in front of Luolongtan. Raising a horse is just as logical... However, some people are condescending, some are self-reliant, and some are cautious. Some even try to seek opportunities even though they know that they are unlikely to be allowed to leave, and they do not hesitate to bribe and betray information. .
"You can't believe Wang Daiji's words. He just wanted to find a place of refuge because of the unstable situation, so he came to stay... In fact, he was born in a poor family, and all his power came from welcoming the saint. For him, the saint went to Jiangdu. It’s a good thing, because when you get there, there aren’t many people you can rely on, so it’s a good opportunity to climb up.”
At night, with the moonlight rising slightly, the camp was filled with complaints and groans after a tiring day, while Zhang Xing routinely carried a cold bowl and sat on an overturned log car to analyze calmly.
"It's hard to tell the truth about those father-in-laws, especially those who have property in Dongdu..."
Qin Bao stopped talking.
"What?" Zhang Xing looked at it with wide eyes, looking innocent and puzzled.
"Do we Fulongwei really want to accompany Jiangdu?" Qin Bao responded with difficulty. "My mother just went to Dongdu..."
"When I go back this time, no matter what, I will not only take good care of Yueniang for me, but also be a filial son." Zhang Xing nodded, and then continued to ask. "What did Qian Tang and the others say that you are the only one who wants to go back?"
"How is that possible? Everyone is used to living in Dongdu. More than half of them have families and live in Dongdu. Who wants to go to Jiangdu?" Qin Bao sighed. "In the entire Fulongwei, there are only three or four southerners, and there is one Xiao Zhou who is bored all day long..."
The more Qin Bao talked, the harder it became, and finally sighed.
"Actually." Zhang Xing was still relaxed. "As long as you want to leave, Jianghuai can always use tricks..."
Qin Bao lowered his voice: "I probably know that this is your original intention, third brother, but isn't that violating military orders and leaving the team without permission?"
"Then what can we do?" Zhang Xing was straightforward. "Fulongwei and Fulongyin are the saint's last layer of protection... The superiors will not allow you to leave. If you want to leave, you can only disobey military orders and leave secretly! Otherwise, follow the saint to Jiangdu and die there. Ten or twenty years! When the north is turned upside down, come back! Listen to me, you must ask yourself clearly and don't force yourself."
Qin Bao was completely speechless and could only lower his head and hold his forehead.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Xing continued to ask seriously: "If someone else in the same row wants to leave, will you stop them?"
Qin Bao just lowered his head and wandered around: "It's just that I can't do anything alone. How can I stop others at this time?"
"Is Shangguan forcing you?" Zhang Xing asked calmly.
"Which Shangguan?" Qin Bao finally became a little irritable. "Is it you, third brother, or Chang Jian?"
"For example, Shaocheng..." Zhang Xing didn't panic at all and gave an inexplicable idea. "Another example is which of the two husband-in-law..."
Qin Bao was stunned for a moment and shook his head again: "What kind of Shangguan is this? It's too far away. Just pretend that you can't hear it."
At this point, Qin Bao was too lazy to fight with the opponent anymore, so he simply let go and responded: "Third brother, don't test me... When you come back, you must have guessed something, and you need to make timely rain." Of course, I want to take Fulongwei's brothers back to Dongdu... And how can I be a bad person? But, have you told Chang Jian about this? Chang Jian nodded, everyone doesn't have to worry about returning If you have no whereabouts in Dongdu, or if you go to Jiangdu and can’t come back, some things will be solved easily.”
Zhang Xing nodded: "I'll go and talk to Chang Jian, but please do it slowly... You should understand what I mean."
"I understand." Qin Bao shook his head. "You want Chang Jian to go according to your arrangements... You are always like this. On the surface, you obey, but in fact, you are always competitive on the inside... But according to me, you might as well talk about it faster to avoid uneasiness."
Zhang Xing also shook his head in reply: "I really can't get up. I'm actually afraid of alarming Governor Niu. Once a figure like him comes to suppress him, with a clear word and a special warning, we won't be able to do anything."
Qin Bao thought for a while and had nothing to say.
In fact, as Qin Bao said, Zhang Xing is trying to play a game of chess, and he is now creating chaos... Chaos creation itself is actually very simple, because the situation is already chaotic. He only needs to play a series role and play randomly As a banner, you can use chicken feathers as arrows to bring people with different needs together.
Moreover, he very smartly chose to start with the most dangerous Yu Changji, but he did not dare to directly mention the key information of Fulongwei. Instead, he acted like a smart man and mentioned helping Yu Changji return his family... This move, on the surface, He pretends to be smart, but in fact he is showing his clumsiness and cowardice. Although he takes risks, he seems to have succeeded in calming Yu Changji's heart.
Of course, it's just like that.
Zhang Xing was just gambling, so there was no need to worry about whether Yu Changji thought too much about it.
With Yu Xianggong's words, Zhang Xingfu used Zhang Han's special connection with Fulongwei to get Fulongwei from the young Xianggong Zhang, and finally broke up the matter.
Then, naturally, the perfect temptation of returning to the Eastern Capital openly and openly affected the entire secret service agency, and even other places in the Imperial Palace, causing considerable turmoil.
And going further down, naturally they would not touch big figures like Niu Du Gong who could easily change the situation, and wait until they reach Huaishang, the watershed that everyone is aware of, before taking concrete actions.
But Zhang Xing, Qin Bao, and everyone, including many smart people, are not gods... Their intelligence, planning, and understanding, including Lai Zhan'er and others' understanding of order, His efforts to control it were quickly overwhelmed by other things.
The two most obvious of these things are called weather and geography.
Let’s talk about the weather first. The end of May to June is the hottest time of the year, and it has been getting hotter and hotter since leaving the camp and going south. Unfortunately, the team has no preparations for summer vacation and heatstroke prevention.
This is called the steaming heat, which can catalyze everything.
Let’s talk about geography. Previously, the team set out from Dongdu and walked along the main road, so-called going down the river. This time, it went south from the Dengzhou camp. I can’t say that the route it took was a small road, but hundreds of thousands of people How hard would it be to walk along the road in the hilly area along the Gu River, which is only a hundred steps wide?
There is not even shipping on the market.
This is called a rough road, enough to wear away all things.
Therefore, we just continued walking for seven or eight days. Exhaustion and heat made the situation unsustainable.
More and more soldiers, civilian husbands, chamberlains, and palace people began to suffer from heat stroke, and then collapsed on the roadside, and some even died directly. At the same time, many smart civilian husbands and soldiers also realized a certain possibility and began to Faking heat stroke... In this regard, military law enforcement officers are in huge difficulties. On the one hand, they cannot distinguish who is faking heat stroke and who is real heat stroke. On the other hand, they themselves have begun to suffer from mental and physical fatigue due to the heat and rugged roads. and large-scale non-combat attrition.
The team lost order again, but there was no large-scale mutiny for the time being... Because they were too tired, and faced with the test of natural environment and endurance, the senior practitioners had an absolute advantage at this time, and in turn became the pillar of order. Excellent controller.
As for the official measure that has calmed people's hearts a little, or that is the only effective but ridiculous official measure, it is to look at the plum blossoms to quench thirst.
The superiors told everyone below that at this time, there were bandits in Yimeng Mountain on the other side of the Gu River. It would be faster to retreat to the Dengzhou Camp than to go forward to Langya. Once you reach Langya, you can stop summer vacation and rest.
Therefore, everyone must work hard to reach Langya as soon as possible.
Under this situation, the strange force of secret agents connected by Zhang Xing began to grow grass on its own without any instigation... More and more Jing'an Taiwan patrols began to hint or even explicitly suggest that Zhu Shou take the initiative Taking advantage of the situation, he left, and with the frequent occurrence of these hints and explicit instructions, the accompanying Fulongwei became increasingly uneasy.
These beings, almost all of whom were masters of the Qijing, became increasingly unwilling to conceal their intentions. They began to connect on their own, and then expressed their opinions and put pressure on Zhang Xing, Qian Tang, Qin Bao and others, hoping to obtain a commitment and be able to work with Xun Xing. The riders returned to Dongdu as well.
Zhang Xing maintained his strange seriousness and rebuttal.
On the contrary, Qian Tang, after being forced to have no choice, took the initiative to find Bai Yousi in front of the imperial court and made a report. The latter also flew over immediately and offered some comfort, but to be honest, the effect was not very good. These comforts and promises could not withstand the steaming heat and rough roads at all.
After all, Bai Yousi was unwilling to rely on force to suppress his subordinates.
During this period, Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi looked at each other several times, but surprisingly there was no cooperation or discussion... I don't know whether they each noticed something, or whether they were a little embarrassed that Bai Yousi might have deceived Zhang Xing.
Looking back now, Bai Yousi asked Zhang Xing to leave first, probably because he got the news that he was going south to Jiangdu.
At noon on June 13th, the troops by the Gu River were marching hard under the scorching sun. Many mules, horses and people who went to drink water were routinely killed by the waterside. Suddenly, the temperature dropped slightly and the wind moved slightly. Then the dark clouds gathered, as if a summer thunderstorm was about to begin.
Looking at the dark clouds above his head, Zhang Xing was keenly aware that his plans would probably have to be soaked in the scorching sun and rain. What happened next would probably require one step, one step, and one step to seize the opportunity. Implementation...can no longer seek perfection and blame.
Even, be prepared to fail and give up.
But he surprisingly didn't have any mood swings.
"Let the vehicles and baggage stop and stop moving to prevent flash floods, swollen rivers and washed out roads. Have everyone dismount and try to avoid the rain next to the vehicles."
Turning his gaze from the sky, Zhang Xing turned his head to give instructions in the blowing summer wind.
"The Fulong Guards and the Jinyi Patrolmen gathered together to act together, and sent people to remind several people who had agreed to come, whoever wants to come... Just be sure to let the ten colleagues on duty take them with them. Mr. Zhang, come with us, just in case."
The surrounding Fulong Guards hurried away after hearing the words, while the Jinyi patrolmen with lower cultivation and worse discipline simply dismounted and began to rest on the spot, or try to find a place to hide from the rain.
Luo Fang and Zhang Changgong, two masters who were obviously in the Dan Condensation stage, jumped directly into the air, trying to control order and find shelter for their subordinates.
However, there are no villages or shops in the front or back of this section of the road. Even if there are villages along the way, they are far away and must be occupied by approaching troops. There are only a few trees on the roadside, and no one dares to go because they are worried about a thunderstorm. Everyone looked at each other in shock. After many rounds, Luo and Zhang could only follow Zhang Xing's suggestion and gather next to the vehicles.
A quarter of an hour later, when the raindrops had almost begun to fall, Mr. Zhang Han arrived here, escorted by Fulong Guards, and was invited into a carriage parked in the middle of the road.
Even the dignified husband could only hide in the carriage, let alone the others.
Suddenly, heavy rain poured down, thunder and lightning flashed, and it was like dark day for a while, but the rain fell like soybeans, and the people who were hit couldn't lift their heads at all... In this case, unless it was a condensing pill like Luo Fang and Zhang Changgong, The masters above can release their whole body's Qi to form a Qi shield to avoid, otherwise they can only endure it.
In fact, even Mr. Zhang Han who hid in the carriage quickly got wet all over and huddled in a corner, embarrassed for a while.
Fortunately, summer rain comes and goes quickly. In the afternoon, the downpour quickly ends and the scorching sun returns.
Not only that, the road has become muddy, and vehicles have become trapped in it. In addition, the water nearby has surged, making the feasible road surface rapidly narrowing. This undoubtedly gives everyone a sense of powerlessness close to despair.
"Inspection, don't go to the Huaihe River. Let's tell Zhang Sanlang and turn around!" Someone suddenly shouted out, but it was a white-sanded patrolman in brocade clothes whose whole body was quickly wrinkled by the sun.
His direct inspection officer, Xue Liang, waved his hands repeatedly, and at the same time looked back at the carriage with some uneasiness... Over there, Mr. Zhang Han was in an equally embarrassed state. He didn't even know where he had dropped his hat. He was just sitting there. He was breathing heavily in the car, and Zhang Xing stood beside him under the car, but he didn't say a word.
However, the situation cannot be solved with a wave of hands. The vehicles cannot move because they cannot move. The civilians and soldiers who have been exposed to the sun, rain, and sun exposure cannot get up at all. The Dragon Guards were restless because of the possibility of returning to the Eastern Capital.
All those who can breathe are full of resentment.
Seeing that Xue Liang didn't have the guts to come forward, the white-shoued man suddenly stepped forward, strode through the muddy water, and shouted directly at Zhang Han: "Ms. Zhang, what do you say? We are from Zhongcheng, how can we be asked to go? Jiangdu?"
Zhang Han was caught off guard, and perhaps because he was unwilling to discuss such a sensitive issue in public with a mere patrolman, he simply kept silent.
Zhang Xing, on the other hand, sighed and replied in a distant voice: "Old Zheng...didn't I agree? I'll let you go when we get to Huaishang."
"Old Zheng!" Luo Fang, the first patrol team inspector, also spoke up in time. "Who allowed you to talk to Mr. Zhang like this?"
The senior Bai Shou named Zheng glanced at Luo Fang, but ignored him at all. He just went to see Zhang Xing: "Zhang Sanlang, the right way is this moment and that moment... We are very grateful to you for negotiating with Xianggong Yu for us that day. , but as it is now, if we continue walking like this, even those of us with a little bit of cultivation will probably be soaked, sunburned, and exhausted to death... How dare we wait until Huaishang?! Let me ask, let’s go now , maybe or not?”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Fang, Xue Liang, Zhang Xing, and Zhang Changgong, who was wearing a mask, each wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, the entire "brigade" of special agents had already exploded. The knights in uniforms were shouting, demanding to leave the brigade immediately. , stopped advancing, and the Fulong Guards were not reconciled, shouting and encouraging, demanding that they all return to the Eastern Capital.
Up and down, there was chaos.
Not to mention, the soldiers, civilians, palace people, and Jinwu Guards near this section of the road were also in a bad situation, or even worse. At this time, I heard that these Jinyi Patrol Cavalry and Fulong Guards were actually able to turn back. Dongdu began to get involved with hope, dissatisfaction, and anger.
That day, people who were exposed to the rain and then the sun were inevitably moaning and crying.
A heavy rain greatly increased the difficulty of advancing, and also fixed the entire long team on the muddy road along the river. It also caused local turmoil and chaos... A battle that should have been the strongest group of troops The mutiny of the secret service organization seems to be just around the corner.
"Is something going to happen?" In the confusion, Zhang Han, who looked pale, asked Zhang Xing in a low voice.
"Not for the time being." Zhang Xing responded decisively. "Two of the three Zhu Shou are masters of condensing pills, and they are very intimidating to their subordinates... But it's hard to say in the future, especially Fulongwei. Everyone is a master of Qijing. If it is true, If they pull out their knives and start a quarrel, the two masters of condensing pills will probably run away immediately...but at that time, they will definitely escort you away."
Zhang Han became increasingly uneasy: "Then let's think of a way. Even if I escape and mutiny...and if Uncle Cao's direct subordinates mutiny...there will be big trouble."
Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he gave up the previous plan by accident and chose to reply softly: "Actually... as long as one person comes over, he can be suppressed immediately... On the other hand, if you change You may not be able to become someone else.”
After all, Zhang Han was a smart man like Nanya Xianggong, and he quickly realized: "Is Bai Changjian?"
"Not bad." Zhang Xing nodded sincerely. "Bai Changjian is not only the regular inspector of Fulong Guard, but also the foundation for Fulong Guard to be able to establish itself after returning to the Eastern Capital. He is also a master of Chengdan. Even the Jinyi patrolmen there, less than half are from her old unit... She is here , force and people's hearts can easily suppress the situation... But the procession dragged on for too long, so one of Luo and Zhang had to fly to call her, and the message had to be sent carefully so as not to disturb the Holy Master or other princes. "
"This is natural." Zhang Han took a long breath, nodded quickly, and then waved to Luo Fang, who had been looking at him nervously amidst the noise.
After a moment, a stream of light flashed by, and Luo Fang headed in the direction of the driver, which was estimated to be at least ten or twenty miles ahead.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, when the situation was about to become unsustainable, three streams of light arrived here in different directions.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the expressionless Bai Yousi and the nervous Luo Fang, Sima Zheng, the general of the Tiger Guard, also came.
But what was even more unexpected was that Zhang Xing had no extra thoughts at this time.
Turning back to the eyes, Bai Yousi's arrival had indeed had an immediate effect... He just turned over and landed on the carriage, holding a long sword in his arms, looking down from a high position, and sweeping around, Fulongwei and most of the Jinyi patrolmen gradually became quiet. Then, the ordinary soldiers and civilians also became inexplicably quiet because of some contagious emotion.
"How do you say that?" Bai Yousi glanced at Zhang Xing at his feet and asked directly in a loud voice. His voice shook the surrounding area along with the true energy, and seemed to suppress the sound of the rising water flow. "What do you want?"
The people around were silent for a moment.
Bai Yousi came to see Zhang Xing again, but Zhang Xing didn't move at all, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"We want to go back to the Eastern Capital!" A middle-aged patrolman in brocade, who was obviously an old member of the second patrol team, couldn't help but speak. "Inspection inspection, take us away! We shouldn't have been asked to go to Jiangdu in the first place!"
Just as Bai Yousi was about to reply, another person suddenly spoke, but it was Wang Zhen, the white-striped man from Fulongwei: "Bai Changjian! We don't accept it! Why are they all from Jing'antai? They can go back, and we are going to Jiangdu." ?!”
As he said this, Wang Zhen actually turned to look at Sima Zheng, who was behind the crowd with a serious look on his face: "Brother Sima, please say something! So many people died along the way and so many people escaped. They all deserved it." Are you going to die? Why do we have to go to Jiangdu?"
Sima Zheng opened his mouth, but seemed to have thought of something, but remained silent.
"It's not that I won't let you go back." Bai You thought for a moment and answered in the car. "But going back at this time will affect people's hearts... The Jinyi patrol should go to Huaishang, at least to Langya... And there is a young family in Fulongwei. I promise to readjust Fulongwei when we get to Jiangdu. You will definitely be allowed to return to Dongdu."
Bai Yousi's promise obviously worked, and everyone started talking about it.
At this time, Zhang Xing suddenly whispered to Mr. Zhang beside him: "Mr. Zhang, can you make such a promise?"
Zhang Han wanted to speak for a moment, but the people close to him had woken up and started whispering to each other. After a while, someone even shouted: "Bai Changjian, don't forget, you must speak openly before leaving the team. Please repeat your words, we Let me go to Langya with you!"
Soon, the cry became mainstream.
Zhang Han, who was standing outside the carriage, was furious, but when he looked around and saw Sima Zheng, Bai Yousi, Luo Fang, and Zhang Changgong all there, he felt more or less at ease and pretended not to hear anything.
However, seeing this, the surrounding Jinyi patrolmen and Fulong guards who had calmed down became uneasy, and the noise started again. Some people even asked, is Xianggong Zhang doing this to settle accounts with the future?
"Ms. Zhang, I'm reluctant to do this. Can you please get in the car and say a few words?" Zhang Xing came to persuade him sincerely. "I'll help you up, right next to my home, safe and sound."
Bai Yousi lowered his head in surprise, and finally nodded.
Zhang Han looked at Zhang Xing a little irritably, then glanced around, and finally said helplessly: "Zhang Changjian told you to handle it carefully, but he actually asked me to come forward in person!"
It was as if he was complaining to Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing just nodded and apologized.
But after a while, with the support of Zhang Xing and the help of people around him, the Nanya Prime Minister finally climbed onto the carriage body from the front of the car, and then stood up with only the cover of Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi one behind the other. On the roof of the car, after the surroundings became quiet again, he looked around coldly:
"What do you want the truth to say?"
"Please sir, allow us to leave Langya freely." A patrolling knight in Jinyi shouted with all his strength.
"Please promise me, Mr. Fulong, that when we, Fulongwei, arrive in Jiangdu, we can reorganize ourselves and let our family members go back!" Some Fulongwei also shouted loudly.
"Anything is fine!" Zhang Han, with messy hair, suppressed his anger and responded loudly. "Any more?"
The surroundings were quiet, but Bai Yousi turned her head slightly and glanced sideways, because from the corner of her eye, she clearly saw Zhang Xing smile, as if he was about to say something.
In fact, even Qin Bao below was obviously shocked.
But at this moment, a man suddenly came out of the crowd. He got on his horse and held his sword against each other to show that he was not weak: "I want to ask Mr. Zhang, why General Sima is not allowed to go to Luolongtan to save people? Did you do that at that time? Don’t you know there are hundreds of thousands of troops east of Luolongtan?”
"Who is this person?" Zhang Han was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Xing from behind.
"This is the youngest son of Zhou Zhuguo, the deputy governor of Jiangdu. Fulongwei is with Zhou Xingfan." Zhang Xing also looked at Zhou Xingfan who suddenly appeared in a daze, and then chose to be honest.
"Master Zhou." Zhang Han laughed on the spot after trying to figure out who it was. "I know that your father is alone outside, but the safety of the saint is more important. Don't mention that situation. Even if your father was in the tent and encountered danger, I would openly suggest that he kill himself and end his family for Your Majesty... You guys Mr. Zhou, especially your father, who has received great favor from His Majesty and is a general of the country, don’t you have the consciousness to sacrifice your life for the country?”
Zhou Xingfan's eyes were about to burst, but he breathed heavily, forced them down, and then asked through gritted teeth: "Then let me ask you, my father was a general and died for the country, and you are the father-in-law, why can't you sacrifice your life to pay for your sins? In this Eastern Expedition, Wasn't it because you were so evil that you initiated it before the saint could even think of it?"
As soon as this statement came out, the surroundings were noisy. Even many ordinary soldiers and palace people who had been silent since Bai Yousi and Sima Zheng arrived were also talking about it. They never expected that one of the culprits of the Eastern Expedition was actually there. In front of you.
This is not just a simple journey. How many lives have been lost here.
Zhang Han himself was also aware of the turbulent crowd, but it was difficult to avoid it at this time. In other words, the presence of Bai Yousi in front of him and Zhang Xing behind him gave him a little sense of safety and confidence, and this situation of facing the turbulent wave alone This brought him back to the time when he faced the Nanya ministers and other colleagues alone in the court hall.
Instead of feeling ashamed or afraid, he felt an inexplicable anger.
The angry accusations and secret curses finally subsided a little.
Xiao Zhou, who realized how to argue, did not hesitate and immediately threw out the remaining three trump cards: "Everyone, this person has always been the enemy of the king. Not only for this Eastern Expedition, he suggested that your majesty go south to Jiangdu. He also suggested that the saints lead the army. Those who marched in the city and those who suggested that the saints build big golden pillars were all conceived and proposed by him on his own initiative!"
The people around him became more and more noisy, shouting and cursing without hesitation. Many people pointed at the noses of the people in the car and cursed.
Zhang Han glanced coldly, but he didn't have any scruples.
When his voice slowed down a bit, he cursed loudly in turn: "Are you going to rebel?! As the Prime Minister of Nanya, I gave my advice to the Sage, accepted it by the Sage, and then went on to do it. What right do you have to be dissatisfied? Do you know what Nanya is?" Sir?"
His words shocked everyone, and Xiao Zhou's expression also changed. Sima Zheng, who seemed to be coming to assist in the situation in the distance, and Luo Fang were also obviously embarrassed, but they didn't know what Zhang Changgong's expression was under the mask.
"Don't forget!" Seeing everyone being restrained, Zhang Han gritted his teeth and continued to scold. "It is normal for a saint to shed millions of blood when he is angry! And as a prime minister, I can make dozens of your corpses lie on the ground with my anger today, and everyone above and below will be destroyed... As for you people, just ordinary people, you are angry here today. , it looks like a raging storm, so what? Are you trying to grab the ground with your head? I want to see, I am standing here, who dares to make a sound?!"
Everyone's complexions were either ashen or red, but no one dared to speak!
Only Bai Yousi raised his eyebrows and wanted to speak.
However, a voice snatched in front of her: "I thought that the husband was angry, and it was enough to settle the world!"
"What the hell?"
Zhang Han looked back in surprise, and almost looked at Zhang Xing with Bai You Si.
At this time, Zhang Xing had already pulled out the standard machete, then stretched forward to grab the opponent's bun, and the other hand waved directly at the opponent's neck. Almost at the same time, the hand of the sword was swollen with a substantial silver -gray ice. It instantly wrapped the entire machete, making the cold shining cold.
The next moment, as the machete flew over the neck that the opponent turned around, Zhang Xing easily grabbed the opponent's head.
Blood water sprayed out of the neck mouth, and blocked Zhang Xing and Bai You Si for a while. After a moment, as the corpse rolled directly, the two directly looked at each other ... Zhang Xing was not surprising. Bai Yousi had no expression, but just stared at himself, as if he was going to engrave himself in his body.
This scene was stunned. After counting the interest, it seemed that there was a little movement below.
When he heard the sound, Zhang Xing took his gaze, only took half a step forward, and then raised Zhang Han's first level in one hand. And the world, today and to remove a little thief for the world! "
The below was silent again.
After returning to God, Sima was able to touch the waist in the distance, but after looking at Bai You thought, he maintained a strange silence and quietness. If there is nothing to stop thinking, Zhang Xing can't kill people at all.
And Bai You Si Xiu's practice and Fulongyin in the opponent's hands made them have to stay calm. At the same time, even if they were, there was a strangeness in their hearts, a trace of relief, and a trace of panic.
It seems that there is no fear. Zhang Xing murdered to show the public, but not a lot of words, but jumped out of the car directly and went to the roadside. Avoid it, like the wheat waves in the field flying away on both sides.
Zhang Xing didn't say a word over Qin Bao, the emotional Xiao Zhou, the emotional Xiao Zhou, and the rough Wang Zhen and other Fulong Wei clusters. Start a little, then cut the bark with a knife, and dip the blood dripping on the neck.
"Kill the thief, the northern area is also."
Then, the person tied the first level after the horse's horse, turned around, and then only tied the corrupted mule to his wrist, and slowly traveled to the water.
Looking at him, he wanted to walk away by Fusum.
After walking about a dozen steps, when he was about to enter the water, Xue Liang suddenly couldn't help but move in the opponent.
But that's such a move. Zhang Xing's cluster that had just crossed the Volva, and even had a half -brocadage patrol, but also turned around, but turned around. What is the silent squeezing and confrontation.
Fei Liang was shocked on the spot with some Jinyi patrols, and even Sima Zheng and Luo Fang changed their color. Zhang Changgong also released his hands.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, many people couldn't help but say something and shouted something. In the water, a statement suddenly came with a statement that was clearly shocked.
The sound of the sketch is stunned and continuous, accompanied by Zhang Xing's floating horses into the water, but only that, the first level of the horse still exudes blood stains, mixed with the river mixed with yellow water after the rain, and form a color in the afternoon sun. Strange long ribbon.
Either Fulongwei or Jinyi patrolling, how to do not know what this long howling means is also stunned.
Xiao Zhou was chaotic under his heart. He glanced at Qin Bao and looked at Bai Yousi, and did not get the answer. This made him feel like a fire ... also wanted to show it out, but it seemed to be so bad. A little something.
Suddenly, after this Jiangnan's door, he suddenly couldn't suppress his emotions, but he moved forward, jumped into the water, followed.
Then at the moment of the water, worked hard to echo.
At least dozens of people have shifted and moved, Qin Bao even took a few steps forward ... But remembering the previous words and the eyes that had just been swept away at the time, but stopped hard.
It was Wang Zhen, suddenly took a deep breath, turned around, followed.
After a while, more than ten rides followed.
However, on the evening of this day, when Zhang Xingsu was in the mountains, only Wang Zhen and Xiaowou's two riders followed ... This is not surprising, because Bai You Si, who realized what happened, then led Jin Yi The patrol and Fulongwei collectively spent the water selling the water, but they only went upstream. Luo Fang, Zhang Changgong, and Xue Liang were all among them.
Zhang Xing didn't have any extra words to talk to Wang Tuesday. At this time, it was not turn, but they ate dry food early and went to bed early.
It was said that it was early to sleep, but only Wang Zhen's earlier, Zhang Xing and Xiao Zhou obviously had their own thoughts, and they were thinking about it.
How Xiao Zhou thought, Zhang Xing didn't know, the latter was just thinking about himself.
For a long time, Zhang Xing has always had a strange request for himself. He said on his mouth, only to do his best, but I do n’t know why. After each action, he always fell into a reflection on morality and rationality, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. The more he feels that he is not doing well ... even if things are treated beautifully and properly in the eyes of others, he will feel that he is just a repulsive craftsman, or he does not do the most fair handling of someone.
It is understandable with such emotions.
After all in this world, it is the feudal era, after all, it is the classical era, and even because of the existence of an extraordinary system, the ruling class under this system is stronger ... and he finally comes from another world, at least Social thought and cognition are an era of generation difference.
Therefore, he knows clearly that this world can be better, but at the same time, he is also clear than anyone else that if you want this world to be better, it takes a lot of money and sacrifice.
In contrast, personal efforts and attempts are not worth mentioning.
This kind of consciousness, the more literary and artistic, the more painful it is, the more painful it is.
It is a bit popular, and it is a bit counsel.
Because he always feels that he does not have the ability, morality, morality, and balancing with despair.
However, from that day ... yes, not today, but when I returned to Anonymous Mountain Village that day to try to get rid of the vines, he realized that those tangles were ridiculous or unnecessary.
I am myself.
Zhang Sanlang, or the northern part of Zhang Xing, he is all herself.
Those cowardly, those who are slippery, those impulses, those panic, those who look forward to it, those who repeatedly consider, those pretending to be pretending to be dodge with waves, all those imperfections are all true self.
I am myself, myself in the last world, myself in this world, is a living and imperfect person, not the savior, and not hoping to become a savior.
But be sure to do something.
However, it is interesting that Zhang Xing had awareness that day, but it could not be released until now, and it could be organized and thought.
Xiao Zhou finally fell asleep, and Zhang Xing still opened his eyes. He no longer hesitated, but was waiting for something.
Sure enough, in the midnight, the two -month -old was almost complete, and there was almost a high convergence. Zhang Sanlang suddenly heard a strange movement in the cicada sounds, then turned over, went to the layman, turned over a small mountain bag, and saw a small mountain bag. Bai You Si, who was simply hair, danced under the moon.
To be honest, the dance is not good -looking, a bit hard, too sharp.
"Is it good?" Bai You thought suddenly stopped to stop, turned his head to look at each other under the moon, and the sword was shining in her hands.
"Good -looking." Zhang Xingchen was confronted.
"I thought you would say it was too hard." Bai You thought thoughtfully.
"You dance well." Zhang Xing sat down directly on the side of the hillside.
"Have you been together with the second pulse of Ren Du?" Bai You thought about his sword and asked in the moon.
"Yes." Zhang Xing said. "Before you let me go first, I was eager to try it, but I suddenly got through."
"I have thought about it too." Bai You couldn't help laughing. "It's a successful print ... I just need time to become dan."
This made Zhang Xing a little out of mind and surprise ... He was not surprised that the other party looked at himself and engraved himself, but the other party had not smiled for a long time.
"You haven't laughed for a long time." Zhang Xing sighed.
"Indeed." Bai You Si affirmed this statement. "Because there are too many things, and it's all bad things, the imagination has also entered the bottleneck ..."
"Are you waiting for the moment during the day?" Zhang Xing asked carefully. "You guessed that I want to do this?"
"It's not guessing, but I thought." Bai You thought immediately corrected. "But waiting is true ... I'm actually not sure what you will do, but I have a lot of confidence in you, but fortunately you finally do this."
"How to say?"
"The bystanders are clear." Bai You thought about his sword crooked his head in the two -month -old sword. "Zhang Sanlang in my eyes, at the beginning, was hot, and was willing to wield a knife, say a word, and sighs. At that time, you were the real you ... but just, you seem to seem Always with some kind of scruples, in fear of the end, covering and blocking ... Obviously just a person, but always ask for all the preparations, always use the morality of people to judge themselves. Many problems are enough to save myself.
Zhang Xing, the husband can settle the world as soon as he is angry, and does not need a ready -made supreme to do it. "
Zhang Xing stops.
"I actually don't agree with you as a bandit now, or become a criminal, otherwise I will not separate from you after crossing the river, ready to take people back to the East Capital ... But I still want to say that if you can't reach out today Out of that knife. "Bai Yousi continued to be serious, but he came forward. "After all, it will be reduced to a mediocre person ... Do you originally want to try to assassinate the Huaihe River? Or at least those people at the end of the nests of Yu Xianggong and Wang Daiji?"
"Yes ... but it doesn't matter." Zhang Xing replied peacefully. "The atmosphere is here, so you should kill this 厮 slightly to deter the world."
"It's enough to deter the world." Bai Yousi laughed again.
Zhang Xing kept silent.
This is not because the other party said wrong, but because Bai You thought stopped in front of himself, then threw his sword, sat on his side, and turned his head to look at himself.
"You're doing it, I will come to you in the future." Bai You thought firmly. "But today I don’t want to say this, Zhang Xing, I have seen you for so long, and I have been curious about it ..."
"What?"
"I have been thinking about you, but in your eyes, who am I?" The female regular inspection came seriously.
"You are my heroine, saved my heroine." Zhang Xing looked at the other party and blurted. "At the moment of meeting from the river embankment, it is also on the Hongshan. Today, I will be my heroine in my life!"
To put it, Zhang Xing did not hesitate to welcome him under the moon, and the other party was almost one step, and in turn poured him into the cicada.
After this night, Zhang Xing forgot most of the burden tied to his heart, and he was calm since then.
As the saying goes:
Pingbo looked at the floating horse, Gao Liu Yinyin listened to the cicada.
Looking for the stone road tomorrow, who is the drunk saddle together?
