As soon as the person left, Zhang Xing used his chopsticks on the wall and said, "Cheng Dalang, come up and talk."

Cheng Zhili knew that the other party was turning his back on guests and was speechless, but he still flew up and sat on the wall with the other party, and then handed over his hands again:

"Dare I ask, but Mr. Zhang Sanye of the Dragon Sword is in person? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"

"Good bacon." Zhang Xing didn't answer, just picked up a piece of bacon, waved it in front of the other party, and then chewed it whole.

"There are no good things in the countryside, which makes the distinguished guests laugh." Cheng Dalang was startled for a moment, knowing that the other party had defaulted to his identity, and became even more uneasy.

"Don't laugh at the farmers' bacon and wine. In good years, there are enough chickens and dolphins for tourists." Zhang Xing continued to eat while sighing. "I am originally a farmer in the north. How can I not know the hard work of farmers... There is bacon, there is rice, that's it.

The best thing... On the contrary, Cheng Dalang is always staring at this, but as Lao Duguan said just now, he seems to underestimate me. Or maybe you, Cheng Dalang, are a suspicious person, and you are afraid that I am cheating on such small things.

, so you come here to test again and again?”

Cheng Dalang could only shut up.

"Cheng Dalang actually doesn't need to be so careful or pretend." Zhang Xing continued to hold the bowl and chopsticks to point out the manor. "I've been here in your village for four or five days and I've already seen that.

The system, both yours and Xu Dalang's are at the top, far beyond those other powerful people. I saw these hundreds of riders today and I admire them even more... The so-called distinction between subject and object, clear responsibilities, producers and defenders are in their own place.

Not to mention the position, there are also complete transportation channels, defense facilities, and security measures... It can be seen that the education you received since childhood should be the serious education of the Eastern Qi nobles, who is promoted to be a general and dismounted to be an official."

"How can you say something noble?" When Cheng Dalang heard this, he reluctantly interjected. "It's a joke to Mr. Zhang."

"Don't belittle yourself." Zhang Xing continued with a smile. "According to me, after the fall of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty was harsh in its administration. You guys had to deal with the government carefully, and at the same time, you had to work hard in the world, so you have more experience.

, I learned more, and I was able to understand the difficulties of farming, and I also understood the reason why a penny can stump a hero. In the end, I was much better than my ancestors without even realizing it...Cheng Dalang!"

"Why!"

"You and Xu Dalang are actually natural tiger ministers in troubled times, no worse than the dragons and phoenixes of Dongdu and Guanlong..." Zhang Xing suddenly commented seriously. "It's just a pity, because the Wei Dynasty suppressed it too much.

I can't help but have a more conciliatory mentality, a bit self-defeating, and not daring to express my ambitions, which seems to have no structure... This is wrong."

Cheng Dalang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer it, so he could only respond perfunctorily: "Mr. Zhang seems to think highly of me, Da Cheng... How can a few small villagers get involved in so many things? On the contrary, it is Mr. Zhang who

, what happened by the Gu River shocked the world. The Prime Minister of Nanya was killed when he said to kill him, and the prefect of a county threw it away when he said to be killed. Moreover, Jingantai was forced to part ways with the emperor on the spot... and the emperor was so frightened that he ran away.

…”

"Let's not brag. I just want to ask you something." Zhang Xing, who took the opportunity to take a bite of food, suddenly interrupted him. "Have Xu Dalang, Shan Dalang, and Wang Wulang written to you?"

Cheng Zhili was stunned for a moment. After all, he didn't dare to lie. He just nodded bravely.

"Did Zhi Shilang, Wang Hou, and Bohai Gao Shitong write to you?" Zhang Xing stared at each other and took another mouthful of rice.

Cheng Dalang could only nod his head.

"Where is the local government?"

"I have written it too." Cheng Dalang felt aggrieved by the question and finally stabbed half a sentence. "Everyone has taken a fancy to my five hundred cavalry, but they don't know that my five hundred cavalry were collected by several Zhuangzi together and are used for defense.

Is it necessary to cut it into several pieces and send it over on horseback to a family of 40 or 50 people..."

"Yes, yes, I know." Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly. "But in today's world and situation, do you still want to be alone?"

Cheng Dalang sighed: "But you can't be aggressive and force others to do inappropriate things, right?"

"What is inappropriate?" Zhang Xing caught the other party's words and asked. "Is it inappropriate to be a thief, or to follow the government against people's will, or to join the Deposed Dragon Gang and then help Li Silang, the envoy of Dushui, to fight

Is Zhang Jin's scale inappropriate?"

Which one do you think is inappropriate? Cheng Dalang was speechless, but he could only shut up.

"Cheng Dalang, you have two difficulties now." Zhang Xing finally finished his last bite of rice, put down the wooden bowl on the roof, and analyzed it carefully. "The first one is that you probably know in your heart that in a short period of time, Gao Shitong

, Wang Hou and his men will take advantage of this big wave to come and sweep across the prefectures and counties, but with your knowledge, you know that they will not last long. The Wei army will come sooner or later, so during the ebb and flow, you will not

Know how to maintain your position; the second is that your father is still the head of a county, and when he comes to your position, he is ambitious for fame, but he is weak and has few soldiers. Although he has talents, he cannot express himself... Yes or no?

"

Cheng Dalang laughed dryly: "It will be whatever Mr. Zhang says."

But after laughing, he immediately became solemn, because what the other party said was indeed clear and clear, and it was indeed this matter.

Zhang Xing seemed to ignore the other party's jokes and just continued to persuade: "Now there is an opportunity that allows you to do more than one thing with one stone. It can not only perfuse the court on the surface, but also prevent you from being ignored by the heroes of Hebei and the East in private."

Abandonment can also make you arrogant and self-improving, so why can't you do it?"

Cheng Dalang was silent for a moment, and finally asked helplessly: "So what Mr. Zhang means is to join the Deposed Dragon Gang first, and then help the Du Shui Messenger kill Zhang Jinsheng?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing responded sincerely.

"I understand the truth." Cheng Dalang sighed. "Joining the Deposed Dragon Gang and helping the people of the imperial court beat Zhang Jinscale. This is like cutting tofu with a knife and slipping on both sides. Whoever rises up in the future, I can handle it...

If I lose a gold scale and devour his people, maybe the Dushui envoy can give me some weapons and supplies, which will make me stronger and more arrogant, and then I will be better able to survive the ebb and flow of the tide?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded sincerely.

"How can we beat him?" Cheng Dalang spread his hands on the wall.

"If you don't take a look, how do you know you can't beat me?" Zhang Xing also became serious. "Are you just relying on your mouth here?"

Cheng Dalang was extremely speechless. Who could rely on only one mouth?

However, he knew that the other party was at the height of his fame at this time, and even an assassin with only one mouth could not fall out easily, so after thinking about it, he still responded seriously: "In this case, Mr. Zhang is here for this trip.

Do you want me to follow Third Master across the river to take a look at the situation?"

"Not bad." Zhang Xing replied proudly.

"But what if after crossing the river and seeing the situation with my own eyes, I still feel that we can't fight, so what?" Cheng Dalang asked sincerely. "Does Mr. Zhang want to say that I am unbearable in the world?"

"No." Zhang Xing replied with a sigh. "With your pragmatism and cunningness, even if you think you can't fight, you will still come over and say that you can fight, and then take the opportunity to fake it... leaving me completely defeated and speechless...

...However, once we have crossed the river, with Cheng Dalang's intelligence and ability, he will know at a glance that this battle is actually me trying to support you, giving you a chance with all my life, and then still saying that I can fight, but not

I will take the opportunity to fake it."

Cheng Dalang didn't know what to say, so he could only nod: "I understand, everyone is grateful to Mr. Zhang... And this battle must be fought no matter what?"

Zhang Xing didn't know that the other party didn't believe him at all, but since he asked the other party to move, he stopped talking.

The next morning, the two of them hurriedly crossed the river. They only walked about a dozen miles. Before reaching the platform, they passed through various passes. After the patrol, Cheng Dalang suddenly reined in his horse and spoke seriously:

"Third Master, I know that whatever I say at this time will be ridiculed by you, but I feel that with the ability of this Du Shui envoy to manage the army, he can really give him a beating!"

"Everything is a messenger?" Zhang Xing sneered for a moment and said. "This is a person who is like a close brother to me, the best soldier in the pocket, Han Bolong's nephew, you are here, you should be a little awakened, but you are still

Don’t you want to call me Mr. Li?”

Cheng Zhili knew that he was wrong, so he could only apologize...it was easier for people like him to act in a low profile.

In this way, after walking for several more miles, they arrived in front of the Putai camp. Zhang Xing did not take anyone to see Li Ding, but went straight to the Putai, allowing this man to look down at the camp.

Cheng Zhili looked around but said nothing.

When Xiao Zhou ushered Li Ding over, Zhang Xing could only call out to him: "Cheng Dalang, don't look at it, and come and see Li Silang."

Li Ding was about to give up his hand.

When Cheng Dalang heard this, he jumped over first and faced him directly. He held Li Ding's hands in front of Zhang Xing and spoke with the utmost sincerity: "Cheng Zhili has met Mr. Li Fourth, and I am as close a brother as Mr. Zhang San."

They met each other, but he only kept the rules of a brave man in his pocket. Hearing that the third master wanted to do something big, he hurriedly gathered 800 horses. The fourth master Li did not want to go out. If he needs anything, just give him the order...

Cheng Dawan will not hesitate to die."

Li Ding looked confused, but Xiao Zhou looked at Zhang Xing with a confused expression.

At this point, Cheng Dalang came to see Zhang Xing again and said with the same sincerity: "Third Master! There are many heroes in the world that I don't know. I saw you today. I'm a little rude. Please don't take offense to Third Master!"

Zhang Xing curled his lips but remained silent.

ps: Thank you to the new leader Mr. Dongfang Tuo... Happy May Day, Mr. Dongfang Tuo!
