"He said his name was He Xianghong."
"He Xianghong?" Zhang Yan was stunned at first, but after contacting the Chonglan County and bandits mentioned by Zhou Cang before, he suddenly found a past event that he had almost forgotten from a corner of his memory. The name He Xianghong really exists.
Fortunately, Zhou Cang called him over first and said so much, otherwise Zhang Yan might not remember just a name.
"Yes, He Xianghong, sir, do you recognize him?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I do recognize him."
In fact, Zhang Yan said that he recognized it a little reluctantly, but he just found it interesting when he recalled that period of time. He didn't expect that he would still meet her after all the time had passed.
What was a pretentious remark at that time has now found its way to the door.
Things are unpredictable, and some things are truly unpredictable.
Zhou Cang naturally didn't know what Zhang Yan was thinking. Seeing Zhang Yan nodding in agreement, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was cautious enough, otherwise he would have missed Zhang Yan's favor. Now I can finally pay off a little bit.
After arriving at the prison, Zhang Yan saw a thin man with one arm missing, sitting in the corner of a cell with his head lowered. Not moving, only the even breath was still there, which meant that the person was alive and in no serious condition.
"He Xianghong, Mr. Zhang is here to see you." Zhou Cang knocked on the special lock outside the cell, and the man inside suddenly raised his head.
Yes, that's the guy.
Zhang Yan saw the appearance of the man who raised his head in the darkness. Although there was a lot of blood on his face, it still made some of his awakened memories more clear, and it also overlapped with the bandit in his memory. On.
When did Zhang Yan meet the bandits? Naturally, he had just come down from Yubei Mountain and passed through Xuanhua City on the mountain road to Yongde City.
At that time, Zhang Yan did not have the ability he has now. He could only rely on the newly acquired bean soldiers as a cover to scare the bandits he encountered, and then left an excuse of "there will be generous rewards in the future" as an excuse to escape. Among the people who left their names waiting for Zhang Yan to repay him was He Xianghong.
Does this count as chasing you to fulfill your promise?
However, Zhang Yanke remembered that He Xianghong was not one-armed back then. Moreover, the group of bandits seemed to have been disrupted and reshuffled, and He Xianghong should be able to mix well among them. Now it seems that it must have encountered setbacks.
Zhang Yan recalled the past in his heart, and He Xianghong in the cell was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
What happened back then was just a convenient favor to He Xianghong. If someone came in exchange for a favor, it would be a big profit. If no one came, it wouldn't be a big loss. He was even quickly disturbed by the merger of various copycat villages and forgot about it. If he hadn't come to Langyuan City to join in the fun this time and happened to see Zhang Yan showing off his ruthless tactics on the stage, He Xianghong would have recalled that insignificant past event.
At that time, apart from the guards, the only passenger holding a short sword in the motorcade was Zhang Yan, so He Xianghong took a second look at him. In particular, Zhang Yan's indescribable unique temperament impressed him deeply.
He should have forgotten it, but when he saw Zhang Yan again after a few years, Zhang Yan's appearance immediately brought out all the fragments deep in He Xianghong's memory and overlapped them. He instantly understood who those black-armored warriors were protecting on the mountain road.
After seeing Zhang Yan kill two warriors of the Hundred Refining Realm, he felt extremely frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. As a result, the disguise he put on his face was washed away by drinking and pecking, and his identity was discovered not long after he left the house. Capture.
"Haha, it seems like you really remember me."
"Mr. Zhang, I, I...sir, please save me!" He Xianghong actually didn't know what he should say, but fortunately, he knew that Zhang Yan could come to see him, which meant that Zhang Yan also remembered that past event. How long will it be before you call for help now?
Zhang Yan did not answer. Zhou Cang next to him also understood. He opened the door of the cell and let Zhang Yan in, then locked it, and then asked the guards around him to retreat with him. He made it clear that he didn't want to hear the private conversation between Zhang Yan and He Xianghong.
One is the most popular craftsman, alchemist, and strong man in Nanyuan Kingdom recently, and the other is a bandit who is not popular. Whatever connection there is between the two is worth exploring. There will definitely be rumors once word spreads.
Wait for Zhou Cang to leave. Zhang Yancai looked at He Xianghong and said with a smile: "Why are there no hands?"
"The mountain village robbed cars that shouldn't have been robbed, and left no one alive. They offended the big shots in Chengping County, and gathered half and half of the garrisons from Yongde City and Xuanhua City, plus a main battalion of the Western Army. Three sides We were attacked from a double flank, and in the end there was no one left out of ten. I was also lucky and lost an arm, but I still ran away.
After that, if you can’t do the business in the mountains, you will come out and follow others to try to make some sharp weapons business..."
He Xianghong also saw clearly his only way to survive now. Zhou Cang's departure made him understand the importance of Zhang Yan here. He just knelt on the ground and punched the ground with his head, and honestly explained the general situation of his life clearly and clearly.
Zhang Yan nodded while listening. The person in front of him was really having a hard time. The bandit met the bandit in a good way, but he lost his arm and could only follow others as a pawn. I was able to enter the auction house because I valued his disguise skills. As a result, I was so frightened that I broke out in cold sweat.
But finally I met Zhang Yan. I can't tell whether this luck is good or bad.
"You have two options now. One is to be exiled. You are a mountain bandit in the west, and the sea fishing document on your back is also issued by Chonglan County. To the west of Chonglan County is the Yubei Mountain Fortress, and to the south is the field battle of Xiyuan County. You will most likely go to these two places to serve in the army. If you are lucky, you will be cleared of crime in three to five years. If you are not lucky, you will not survive for a year.
Second, I will try to find a way to see if I can save you. But the price is that I am short of a slave, are you willing to do it? "
Zhang Yan also made an impromptu decision. At first, I felt that I was destined to be with the other party, and there was a reason for it. If it wasn't troublesome, I could really save him. The other thing is that he really lacks someone on hand who can run errands.
They were said to be two choices, but for He Xianghong, there was actually no choice at all. Going to the army would be a narrow escape, but he would not go if given the choice. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have clamored to find Zhang Yan.
Can be a slave...
"I do! Sir, I do!" He Xianghong hesitated for less than three breaths and immediately kowtowed. He will still settle this account. Compared to being a centaur who was ordered around and threatened, what's wrong with being the slave of a strong man who all forces want to win over but don't dare to offend?
dignity? If he really cared about this thing, could He Xianghong become a bandit? Can you act like a pawn for others?
Zhang Yan smiled as he watched the other party kowtow to him on the ground, but said nothing. When he saw that the other party's forehead was bruised, he turned around and knocked on the cell door. The jailer quickly came over from outside and released Zhang Yan.
He Xianghong shouted in surprise after that. He was willing to be a slave, so why did Zhang Yan leave without looking back?
