Chapter 35 Travel in the Snow (4)(2/2)

Amidst the laughter, some of the servants couldn't help but asked: "But how did I hear that Fulongwei has been dispersed now?"

Everyone heard this clearly and came to see Zhang Changjian again.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Changjian didn't seem to hear it, and just continued to tell the story as before:

"Back to what I said before, I was called to the imperial court by Eunuch Yu, and the saint asked me what was going on? I lied to the saint and said that a group of cranes were flying into the sky. The saint was overjoyed. Seeing that I was already in black ribbon, he directly granted me a county. Xianggong Yu had always been friendly to me, and he directly helped me find a good place in Wu'an County, Hebei Province. I got the paperwork that night. Although I felt disgraceful at the time, I walked for a few days and arrived in Dengzhou. Da Ying, it was decided that it would be better to take office, so he left Da Ying overnight and prepared to go to Hebei to take office."

In the distant night sky, there were two faint light spots shaking, but the weather was cold and the wind was strong, so everyone generally shrank their heads and didn't notice it.

For example, here in Zhang Xing, when I heard that Zhang Changjian had announced that he had become a prefect and was going to take up his post, the servants around him couldn't help themselves, so that someone came to ask on the spot:

"Zhang Changjian became the governor of a large county. Why did he come back as a regular inspector now? Did he encounter a rebellion by thieves? I heard that there are rebels everywhere in Hebei and the east!"

This conjecture is much more reasonable, and even the chamberlains who had questions before have already figured out the scenario of coming back and being demoted due to crime.

"Yes and no."

Two more teams of knights came out of the Rabbit Garden and rode up and down the Huan River respectively. Zhang Xing glanced at it and continued. "I came out of the Dengzhou camp with my documents, a compass in my hand, and... Walking along the mountain, I came to a deserted village... The people in the village had obviously fled after spring plowing. The mountains were full of crops, but the village was full of weeds, blocking the road. However, this deserted village was the same one I had during the Second Expedition. I still know the place where Yi fled when he came back... I spent half a day chopping grass in the village, but I couldn't cut it clean, so I felt angry. I thought that if a man is born in the world and encounters this world, how can he bend his eyebrows and serve the powerful? , How about enjoying the wealth and wealth in peace? I originally thought that the prefect got it too badly, but now I got angry and simply turned around and turned back!"

Everyone listened with fascination, and some people couldn't help but urged, regardless of their identity: "We didn't meet the thief, but what happened next? What happened after the third master came back?"

"After I came back, I wanted to do something big with my will..." Zhang Xing glanced at another smaller streamer rising into the sky, and then turned back to call someone. "Xu Da, why are you listening so seriously? No need. Do you want to work?"

Leaning on the car, Xu Dalang, who was also fascinated by what he heard, woke up and jumped into the air. He didn't even bother to change places at low altitude, and went to find the newly rising stream of light with a stream of longevity energy that the father-in-law was most familiar with.

Zhang Xing also turned around and continued to talk to these servants:

"But I am relatively young and have high vision but low power. I originally planned to do something in Huaishang, but halfway there, it was extremely hot and heavy rain, and the road was very muddy. Some people drank muddy water and suffered heatstroke and died. , it stinks when dead... Gradually, the accompanying sergeants, civilians, including the people in Jing'antai all couldn't bear it anymore, and they were filled with resentment..."

"It's not the same as it is now."

"That's right, one is hot and the other is cold!"

The chamberlains felt the same way.

"Of course it's the same, but the key is not the weather, severe cold, scorching heat, frost, rain and snow, nature is natural. The key is that the people above do not regard the people below as human beings." Zhang Xing responded seriously. "Don't talk about you, you are just doing patrol. , even though you are wearing brocade clothes, they only regard you as a piece of firewood, and your life is not a life in the eyes of the nobles..."

People around him nodded, saying that Zhang Changjian had hit the point. Even Wang Gonggong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

After the people around him gradually calmed down, Zhang Xingfang continued:

"There is nothing left to say, because many people have probably heard of the commotion at that time. I couldn't bear it for a moment, so I killed Zhang Han, the Prime Minister of Nanya who encouraged the Three Expeditions and the construction of the golden pillar. His head crossed the Gushui River with my two companions as floating horses, and he became a rebel from then on. At that time, all the masters from Jingantai and the army were around, but no one stopped me. Instead, nine out of ten crossed the river and fled... …You say, if people’s hearts are like this, what can we do if we only have empty force?”

The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

Some people clearly reacted, some seemed to have been waiting for this part for a long time, and some were still at a loss, only realizing that the atmosphere had changed.

As the battle between pill-condensing masters occurred in the night sky not far away, and the surrounding knights went to touch their weapons, Zhang Xing looked at the prince seriously:

"Old Wang, I won't hide it from you. We have taken down the grains in the back and Xiayi in the front. You are now mice in the bellows. What are you going to do?"

"What do Mr. Zhang want me to do?" When the words came to this point, Wang Gonggong was calm. "On the contrary, I can't understand. I am a chamberlain, but my true energy is not enough to open the three meridians. You can just chop it off with a knife. Why do you do this?"

"What about them?" Zhang Xing pointed back to the surroundings. "They are just a group of servants, why should I waste my time again?"

"If you want to do something big, win people's hearts... Your Majesty also said that just now." Wang Gonggong sneered for a while.

"Aren't you a human being? Don't you have a heart?" Zhang Xing couldn't ask further.

The prince was silent for a moment, but after a while, as the surrounding troops began to shout restlessly, he finally spoke slowly: "I probably know what Mr. Zhang wants us to do, but we are a group of internal servants... which is not nice to say. , the palace people rebelled against you, but they can still give the sergeants as wives. We, a group of servants, rebelled against you, even your own soldiers, who looks down on us? Don’t we know that the road is difficult? Why do we abandon the house in Dongdu? , gold and silver, eager to go to Jiangdu? We can only go to Jiangdu. Although the world is huge, only the palace there can accommodate us."

Many smart servants around him had already thought about a lot of things, but when they heard the prince's words, they felt a little sad and calmed down.

"I admit it." Zhang Xing nodded calmly. "Even if you rebelled, there must be many people in our Deposed Dragon Gang who look down on you. Moreover, you servants are used to being pampered in the palace, and it will be difficult for you to adapt to the local situation. It's going to be tough. I'll have to enforce strict military discipline and cause a lot of trouble... However, I want to ask the prince a few words... First, as I just said, we have also occupied the Xiayi area below. Are you ready? How many casualties will it cost to get out? With so many of you reaching Jiangdu, how many people will be left? Secondly, do you really think that you can escape the military disaster and live in peace and stability after arriving in Jiangdu?"

The prince opened his mouth, as if he was speechless or didn't want to say anything more.

There was another commotion inside the Rabbit Garden

"That's okay." Zhang Xing remained calm and did not think that he was wasting his time. He stood up and continued. "Old Wang, you are sensible. You should know that in this world, if you want to survive, you must If others think highly of you, you must fight for and do it yourself. The so-called place of residence must be established by yourself in order to be secure... I have said this. Even if you don't want to follow me, please give in to avoid being in vain. He lost his life."

After saying this, Zhang Xing gestured with his lips, and the two knights put down the prince. Immediately, the former deputy inspector of Fulong Guard turned around and led the horses with the knights, left the bonfire, and then went deeper into the Rabbit Garden where the commotion became increasingly obvious. Go along the road.

The so-called Rabbit Garden is actually the palace garden of a prince of Liang who was granted the title of Liang during the heyday of the former Tang Dynasty. It was also called Liang Garden. It was prosperous at that time and stretched for 300 miles. However, it has been destroyed by wind and rain for hundreds of years and changed dynasties. It's just a place name, plus some specific small towns, barely enough for nobles and elite patrols to stay.

As for Zhang Xing, because Tuyuan is a bit close to Gushu, he was actually planning to set off to seize the upper and lower cities tomorrow morning. Only because Wang Zhen came in a hurry to report that a traitor had escaped from his side, Zhang Xing was forced to advance To start, dozens of skilled warriors were asked to put on brocade clothes with few patterns, take the machetes of street tigers from the two counties, pretend to be cavalry in brocade uniforms to watch the civilians transport supplies, and lead their troops to easily deceive the city, and then hurried south again. Do the reconnaissance yourself and be prepared to adapt accordingly.

But now, Zhang Dalong saw that as the news of the fall of the two cities spread, another team of patrols in the park were mobilized, and the expected masters also went to the sky to make money. More importantly, the garrison brigade Almost the entire camp was separated from the outside by a huge number of servants and palace people, but without hesitation, he left the servants alone and led dozens of knights and cultivators from the Dragon Gang directly to the garden.

This is a fighter plane.

The commotion behind them was only drowned out by the bigger commotion on all sides. Everyone along the way just thought it was a team of patrolling cavalry, and actually let them go until they were a hundred or ten steps away from the front of the largest residence building complex, which was brightly lit in the middle.

What blocked the way for Zhang Xing and others was not some checkpoint or interrogation, but rather, a group of knights in splendid clothes emerged from the commotion on the opposite side, and seemed to be escorting someone out.

The two sides were thirty or forty steps apart, and the other side spoke first, and suddenly there was another extremely familiar voice: "Is it Qin Er or Lu Heishou? Were Gushu and Xiayi captured together? How did they come back so fast? "

In the dark night, Zhang Xing had not yet replied, but another person spoke to the other party: "Whoever it is, quickly escort me to the outer garrison to find the county officials and the two lieutenant generals to take command. There must be no shortage of people in the middle palace, both outside and inside." There seems to be another commotion among the servants, Li Heishou should go back quickly to join Shen Zhushou!"

The other party responded with some silence and uncontrollable laughter, which made the other party slightly stunned.

As for Zhang Xing, who was riding on the yellow gelding, he didn't bother to pay attention to the surroundings. He just took a deep breath, then circulated the ice energy, not in a hurry, but loudly announced in the dark night: "Depose Zhang Xing, the leader of the right wing of the Dragon Gang, together. All the heroes of the Deposed Dragon Gang are here. We heard that the Queen was visiting Liang County and came here to pay her a visit! Grand Administrator Cao and Li Twelve, why don’t you lead the way?!"

The whole night seemed to stagnate.

In the next moment, Zhang Xing was the first to pull out the standard scimitar, and his true energy flowed out. Then he pointed forward, looked back, and continued to order softly: "Kill."

"kill!"

Zhou Xingfan shouted with all his strength first, and then he unleashed his Lihuo Qi, leaping his horse forward with his sword, and the riders of the Deposed Dragon Gang also started with a bang, each drawing out their Qi, forming a group, shouting "kill" in unison, and charging towards them. go.
