Tian Xiaoting did not return to Tianjiazhai, but Pegasus came to find Zhang Tianhe.
When Zhang Tianhe saw Tian Xiaoting coming, he was startled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Sister, why are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Tian Xiaoting jumped off the horse, "I came to see you for something."
"What do you want from me?"
Tian Xiaoting told him the story of how her brother went to pay homage to his birthday.
"According to what you say, your brother is in danger there," Zhang Tianhe said solemnly, "Well, without further ado, you go back to Tianjiazhai first, and I'll go to Zhong'an Fort right away."
"Are you going alone?" Tian Xiaoting was surprised.
"It's not like we're going to fight. What's the point of going with so many people?" He tidied up, mounted his own horse, and then said to Tian Xiaoting: "Go back and take care of your home, and wait for news from me."
"Then bring these two guns for self-defense." Tian Xiaoting said.
"No, there are many of them. Even if I bring a gun, if we really fight, I won't be able to defeat so many of them." After saying that, he hit the horse and left, "Go back quickly."
Soon, Zhang Tianhe arrived at Zhongan Fort.
"Brother, why are you here?" It happened that the two artillerymen Dongfeng and Hongzhong were on duty outside. When they saw Zhang Tianhe coming, they laughed and greeted them warmly, "Long time no see, we miss you so much." ”
"Big brother, second brother, I miss you too!" The three of them hugged each other affectionately.
Zhang Tianhe was very happy when he saw it was the two of them. They had often gambled together in Gaowei Town before. Zhang Tianhe was generous and gave them both a lot of money. Later, they lost all their money and couldn't survive anymore, so they defected to Jin Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, we met here today.
"Brothers, is Leader Jin here? I have something to do with him." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Here, we are in the lobby right now. Why did you come to see him?" Hongzhong looked at Zhang Tianhe and asked with concern, "Is it because of Tian Yuping?"
"Exactly."
"Oh, brother, this matter is not easy to handle. We advise you to leave it alone."
"Brothers, don't worry. I have my own sense of discretion and nothing will happen to me." Zhang Tianhe said, "Please search me."
Although he is not yet a member of the Green Forest, he also knows this rule. You are not allowed to carry weapons into their hall.
Zhang Tianhe came to the hall, saw Jin Xiangyang, bowed and saluted, and said, "Master Jin, you are always kind, Tianhe is so polite."
When Jin Xiangyang saw that Zhang Tianhe was here, he was a little surprised and said, "It turns out it's brother Tianhe who is here. You're welcome. Please sit down and serve tea."
His attitude was quite good. Then, Jin Xiangyang said: "Some time ago, Judge Du from Heiyun Village sent me a letter, saying that he had accepted you as his godson, and asked all of us to take care of you. Zhang Tianhe is not the same as he used to be, and he is so happy to have such a big backer!"
"Master Jin, you are so polite. Tianhe is here this time to discuss something with you. I hope Master Jin will not refute my face."
"What's the matter?" Jin Xiangyang was a little confused when he heard this.
"It's about Tian Yuping. I hope the leader of the Jin Group will be noble and let him go!" Zhang Tianhe said, "It is said that enemies are easy to resolve but not easy to make, and peace is the most important thing. In addition, brother, I have a few words of advice. , I wonder if Master Jin is willing to listen?"
When Jin Xiangyang heard what he said about Tian Yuping, he felt extremely unhappy, but out of sympathy, he suppressed his anger and said, "Just tell me."
"I heard that the leader of the Jin Group wants to marry Tian Xiaoting. I wonder if this is possible?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I advise you to give up this idea. Firstly, Tian Xiaoting has a very strong temper. She will make trouble when she wants to hit him, fall out when he wants to fall out with her, and kill people with a glare. That is simply not a temper! Secondly, the so-called strong temper It's not sweet, and you can't force things about feelings. If you just force yourself to get her, what's the point?"
"Zhang Tianhe, I respect you as a man. For the sake of your godfather Judge Du, I treat you with courtesy. But don't forget, this is Zhong'an Fort. Please don't be too lenient. Yes. Then Tian Xiaoting has already agreed to my marriage to her, so why do you have to meddle in my own business?"
"Oh? Leader Jin, then Tian Xiaoting has agreed to your marriage? Are you sure she is willing?"
"This, this, it should be about the same." Jin Xiangyang scratched his big bald head, looking a little unsure.
"Master Jin, it is said that good medicine is bitter to the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is harsh to the ears and good for deeds. It is important for a person to be self-aware. Do you think that if you had not detained Tian Yuping here, would Tian Xiaoting have agreed to your marriage? You guys, Zhong'anbao and Tianjiazhai, had no grudges in the past. , I have no hatred these days, you put Tian Yuping back, I will ask them to give you fifty good horses, fifty good guns, everyone will be happy, what do you think?"
"Bah!" When Jin Xiangyang heard what he said, he didn't like it very much. He slapped the table, stood up, and said, "Zhang Tianhe, please stop pretending in front of me. At your young age, you are... Do you want to teach me a lesson? Mr. Jin is fifty years old this year and has been in the world for many years. Do I need you to tell me what I want to do and what the consequences will be? "
"Jin Xiangyang, so you are not going to reward me with this face?" Zhang Tianhe suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Let's do this, Tian Yuping is old and in poor health, you first send someone to take care of me. Send him back, and I'll be your hostage here, what do you think?"
"Zhang Tianhe, do you think I dare not touch you?" Jin Xiangyang said.
"Master Jin, I know you dare to touch me. I, Zhang Tianhe, am nothing but an unknown person."
"You stay as a hostage? Do you think you can get out even if you are here today? Neither you nor Tian Yuping can leave."
"Come here, tie Zhang Tianhe up and stuff him into a cave in the back mountain. Wait until he is punished."
"Yes!" A group of bandits agreed.
As the saying goes, a bachelor does not suffer immediate losses. There are many of them and they have guys in their hands. Therefore, Zhang Tianhe did not resist and allowed them to tie him up.
At night.
Jin Xiangyang was walking back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
He thought that Zhang Tianhe was really a hot potato. He was in a dilemma now, and he didn't know how to deal with Zhang Tianhe. He was undecided whether to release or kill him.
If he were to be killed, he couldn't afford to offend Judge Du. Zhang Tianhe was his godson, and he was worried that he would be blamed for it.
If you let it go like this and feel very shameless, how will you still be able to hang out on the road from now on?
At this moment, the other two gunners Fa Cai and Bai Pi came and said, "Excuse me, the leader of the regiment, Zhang Tianhe has been escorted to the cave in the back mountain. I am here to ask for instructions on how to deal with him."
"What do you two see?" Jin Xiangyang asked back.
"As I wish, it's better to kill him," Baipi said, "Captain, haven't you heard that Zhang Tianhe has an affair with Tian Xiaoting. I heard that they both have worshiped heaven and earth. Why doesn't Tian Xiaoting want to Isn’t it because of him that I agreed to your marriage? He is your love rival. "
"Brother, what you said makes sense. I also heard about it through rumors. If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot about it."
"Therefore, as a husband who is neither poisonous nor ruthless, you take this opportunity to kill the man named Zhang and put an end to Tian Xiaoting's thoughts. Once the man named Zhang dies, if Tian Xiaoting doesn't marry you, who else can she marry?" Jin Xiangyang also analyzed the fortune.
"Yes, yes, it's true, that's the truth. No wonder this kid dared to take such a big risk today and come to me alone. If they have no relationship, what is his plan?" Jin Xiangyang suddenly figured it out. , "But, he is Judge Du's godson. What if Judge Du finds out that we killed his godson and sends troops to attack us?"
"Regiment leader, as the saying goes, when soldiers come to block it, when water comes, the soil will drown. He is Judge Du's godson, but he is not his biological son. He may not mobilize troops and come against us for his sake. Besides, the guy in our hands is also He is not a vegetarian. Even if he does come, the terrain here is difficult and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He may not be able to take advantage." Facai said, "Leader, what do you want to do so much? Since we are in this business, Then don't be afraid. If you are, we won't come. Brothers and I are loyal to you."
"I know this. Since you two brothers have said so, well, you two go to the cave now and finish him off," Jin Xiangyang made up his mind and said, "He is looking for death on his own. Even if you get to the underworld, you can’t blame me.”
"Yes, leader, we are going right now."
After a short time, the two came to the cave in the back mountain.
Zhang Tianhe was tied tightly and sat on the ground.
"Zhang, you are about to die, do you know?" Bai Pi sneered, "I and I are here to send you on your way."
"Oh, so you are going to do something to me?" Zhang Tianhe asked calmly.
"Yes, let's do this. You are going to die soon anyway. Before you die, I want you to be a sensible person," Baipi said. "You should never, never should have come to Zhong'an Fort. Year, do you know how many heroes and heroes died here? You said that you can cultivate your land well at home and have a bowl of food to eat. Why are you here to meddle in this business? Is it as easy to get along in this industry as you think? ?”
"If this is the case, it means that this is my fate, so just do it."
"Don't blame us brothers when you are under Jiuquan. We are also destined to disobey," Baipi said. "Then Tian Yuping is probably not going to live long. He will go underground to accompany you soon."
"What did you do to him?"
"You're such an interesting person. You're dying right in front of your eyes, but you still have the mood to care about others." Bai Pi said.
"Did you torture him?" Zhang Tianhe asked again.
"What are you talking about with him? Just shoot him." Fa Cai said, taking out his gun and pointing it at Zhang Tianhe's head, ready to shoot.
Zhang Tianhe closed his eyes and waited there to die.
"Ah, ah!"
Zhang Tianhe suddenly heard two screams and opened his eyes to see Baipi and Facai lying in a pool of blood. Their bodies twitched a few times and stopped moving.
Looking again, Dongfeng and Hongzhong each held a long dagger in their hands, with blood still dripping from the dagger. He understood that it was Dongfeng and Hongzhong who killed them both and saved him.
"Brother, are you okay?" Dongfeng and Hongzhong hurriedly came over to untie Zhang Tianhe.
"I'm fine," Zhang Tianhe flexed his arms, "Why are you two brothers such a coincidence? Why are you here?"
"We have long been dissatisfied with what Jin Xiangyang did. As soon as we saw these two boys slandering Jin Xiangyang and trying to harm you, we paid attention. So, we brothers followed here and wanted to see "Looking at what they want to do, it's as expected," Hongzhong said, "This is not a place for conversation, and it's not suitable to stay for a long time. I know there is a path in the back mountain that can lead out, so let's go out first and then talk."
"What about Tian Yuping?" Zhang Tianhe said, "Take him with you."
"That's not possible, let's go quickly. It's good if we can get out safely first. If the sentry is alerted, we will all be killed. So, we used daggers to kill them two, and we didn't dare to use guns. As soon as the gunshots were heard, That would be troublesome," Hongzhong said. "After we get out, we can think of ways to save him later."
