Back at the inn, Zhang Jun sat alone and drank tea leisurely. The other five people packed up their gifts and went to calculate the rent.
After a while, Li Chengle came over and whispered: "Commander, I see that there is a sneaky person outside, which is not a good idea. At this time, the war is in chaos, and no one in the government is in charge, so we should be careful."
Zhang Jun sneered: "I saw it. After returning from the gold and silver shop, these guys followed me not long after. Needless to say, the gold and silver shop here must be targeted by them. Not only do they collect money from the shop, but they also rob other places. Guests coming.”
Li Chengle said: "If this is the case, how should we deal with it?"
Zhang Jun laughed after hearing this: "You and I are both in the army, how can we be afraid of this kind of thing? If they want to take action, they have to leave the city. At that time, we raised our swords and fell, and the result was them. Zhizhou faction We are here to do big things, don’t be bothered by these small things.”
Li Chengle nodded in agreement and continued to go back to clean up.
People who come out of the military really don't particularly care about this kind of thing. This time Zhang Jun brought five people with him, all of whom were very skilled. To put it harshly, ordinary states and counties can let them have their way. As long as you are careful, who can do anything to defeat them?
A force usually consists of just a few people when it first starts. Gathering exiles, people of the same kind gather together, it will soon grow and grow. It's just that such forces are not resilient. Once hit hard, it often disappears.
Like here in Tangzhou, the Zhizhou said there were hundreds of people, but in fact there were not many people who really followed them. To exaggerate, if Zhang Jun brings five people into the state government office, he might be able to take the Zhizhou's head.
Many things in this world are actually like this. Among the same Zhizhou, some are powerful forces that cannot be ignored, while others are just in name only. After staying in Tangzhou for a few days, Zhang Jun didn't pay attention to the people here at all.
As the sun rose high, several people packed up their salutes and came out to salute Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun stood up and said: "It's still early now, so let's go out of the city. In Niao Zhizhou, everything doesn't matter, but it saves a lot of trouble. Go faster on the road, and try to get to Dengzhou before dark tomorrow .”
The five people crossed their hands and said yes. Following Zhang Jun, he walked out of the room and headed out of the city.
The man surnamed Sun brought two of his men, pretending to be guests traveling far away, and followed Zhang Jun and others. When they think about it, they are already pretending to be very realistic. But Zhang Jun, who was in front of him, had already seen through their hiding place.
Ruzhou and Tangzhou are sparsely populated places on Jingxi Road. After last winter's war, the population was even smaller. It is difficult to see a village three miles away from the city. There was not a single pedestrian on the road.
Zhang Jun looked at the sky, turned around and looked at the three people behind him. He said: "There is a big tree over there, let's take a rest."
Li Chengle said: "It's more than a hundred miles to Dengzhou. If we don't go faster, I'm afraid it won't be possible to arrive tomorrow."
Zhang Jun said: "Those three men at the back who followed us all the way out of the city must have evil intentions. If we didn't deal with them early, how could we let them go to the front to recruit people and then fight against us? Wait for them to come and listen to my orders!"
Five people promised. Following Zhang Jun, he sat down under a big tree by the roadside and took out some water to drink.
The man surnamed Sun saw it from behind and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Only three miles out of the city, these people, for no apparent reason, started to rest next to me. Traveling like this, we can't find a place to stay even in the dark.
Bite the bullet, the three men surnamed Sun had no choice but to move forward.
Zhang Jun was sitting under the tree. Seeing the three of them approaching, he waved, "Those three men, come here and talk."
The man surnamed Sun looked around and saw that he was the only three people on the road. He couldn't help but said loudly: "You and I have never met, what can I say?"
Zhang Jun said: "We meet by chance, it's fate. I have something unclear, so come here."
The man surnamed Sun thought for a while and saw Zhang Jun and others sitting there casually, not looking like they were trying to deal with him. He gave a low command and led the two of them up. He came closer and said to Zhang Jun: "Brother, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Jun laughed. He stood up and came forward with a relaxed expression. When he got there, he took out a sharp knife from his arms. Suddenly, he suddenly stabbed the man on the left side of the neck with a knife. Then without stopping, he pulled out the knife and slashed the other companion's belly with one blow.
Seeing Bandang's intestines flowing out of his stomach, the man surnamed Sun couldn't help but be stunned with fear.
Zhang Jun took the knife, wiped it on the man surnamed Sun, and took it back into his arms calmly. A slap hit the man surnamed Sun on the face: "What is your name? How many accomplices do you have?"
The man surnamed Sun had long been frightened out of his wits. After being slapped, he still stood there stupidly.
Zhang Jun sneered: "Zhi Niang, I thought you should be brave enough to be a robber. I don't want to be so useless! Come on, take me under the tree!"
Several of his men promised. He stepped forward and grabbed the man surnamed Sun, followed Zhang Jun to the big tree, and beat him to the ground.
Zhang Jun sat down and put his foot on the head of the man named Sun. Said: "Grandpa is asking you something! If you don't open your mouth, I'll cut off one of your ears!"
The man surnamed Sun was frightened and hurriedly said: "Hero, spare your life! I have seventy -"
Zhang Jun used force on his legs and kicked the man named Sun to the ground. He said: "Put away your nonsense as soon as possible! What's your name?"
The man surnamed Sun broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. Shivering, he replied: "Little Suntaicheng."
Zhang Jun said: "How many accomplices do you have? Where are they hiding in front?"
Sun Taicheng said: "Grandpa Mingjian! The younger one is just a pedestrian——"
Zhang Jun raised his arm and hit him with a big mouth. The beating caused Sun Taicheng to lose two of his teeth and his mouth was filled with blood.
Bending forward, Zhang Jun said coldly: "Aren't you afraid of death? Answer me honestly! I'm not from the yamen, so keep those deceptive words in your stomach! That's a good answer. , I’ll leave you with a life. Otherwise, I’ll kill you with one knife!”
Sun Taicheng felt his head was buzzing. There are some rules for how a robber should respond if he is caught. But Zhangjun doesn't play his cards according to the routine. He killed people as soon as he came up, and when his answer was slightly unsatisfactory, he punched and kicked him. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Seeing that Sun Taicheng didn't speak, Zhang Jun raised his hand and slapped him. Said: "How many accomplices do you have? Where is the ambush ahead?"
Sun Taicheng did not dare to say anything else, so he could only reply: "There are thirteen sworn brothers, known as the Thirteen Taibao. The mountain temple in front has long been dilapidated. The others are waiting there, waiting for the guest to pass - —”
Zhang Jun nodded: "I see. There are thirteen of you, no wonder you dare to rob me."
After speaking, Zhang Jun tilted his head and thought for a moment. He said: "It's a pity that grandpa has obeyed the decree of Zhizhou Jun and has serious things to do, so he won't grind his teeth with you!"
Before he finished speaking, he held Sun Taicheng's head with one hand, took out a sharp knife from his arms, and stabbed him in the jugular.
Clean the knife on Suntai City. Zhang Jun stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Li Chengle asked hurriedly: "Commander, just now this guy said that his accomplices were ambushing them in the mountain temple ahead. Are we -"
Zhang Jun said: "Why pay attention to them! After killing these three people, are those few still dare to come out to rob? We are going to Dengzhou, not to suppress bandits. There are many foxes and rats in the city. But these few It’s personal unlucky fate that happened to us.”
Five people promised. He did not collect the bodies of several people in Suntaicheng and walked away to Dengzhou.
