Chapter 286: Journey to Mountains and Seas (33)(2/3)
But Zhang Xing took the opportunity to ask: "What are these heroes called?"
Without waiting for Huang Ping's introduction, the Angzang man who spoke at the beginning took the initiative to hand over his hand: "My surname is Yuchi and I am ranked seventh. Chief Zhang can just call me Yuchi Qilang. I am a native of northern Shanxi. I relied on Bai Sanniang's recommendation and Brother Hong's appreciation to get here."
The leader of the army in northern Shanxi, this time the eldest brother said, we have already had a name, and asked me to come and listen to the chief's words, if there is no one to guard the northern Shanxi, otherwise he will come too."
Zhang Xing was stunned, but did not return the greeting. He just pulled the other party to laugh: "I know you. Sanniang talked about you that day, saying that you, Luo Shu's son Luo Xin, Qin Bao, and the dead Zhang Changgong,
He is the most talented general she has ever seen in her life."
"But none of them can match Bai Sanniang's ability." Yuchi Qilang said to him. "I was convinced when I saw Bai Sanniang's ability in the battle that day, so I thought, if Bai Sanniang can defeat her in the air, I will hold my iron horse.
If I step on my weakness, there will be no place in the world I can go to. I still think like this today."
Zhang Xing burst out laughing, and everyone laughed too.
While laughing, Zhang Xingfu looked at the old Northland soldier who spoke.
Seeing this, the latter handed over his hand: "Old Lan Zhang from the North, I heard that Black Emperor's Dianxing was trapped, and he had to come to rescue him no matter what. Unexpectedly, he arrived too late, and Zhang Sanlang escaped by himself."
"Leader Lan used to be the deputy commander of Fengxiao Weili. Later, he left Weili because of an incident, but he has always been concerned about the affairs of Weili. He learned about it from White Wolf Guard Hei Siming last year.
It's your business." Huang Ping spoke up at the right time. "Oh, Hei Si Ming has been promoted.
Now I've made it right."
Zhang Xing nodded, stood up, but did not stand and shake hands with the other party. Instead, he passed Yuchi Qilang, dragged the other party to change seats and sat down, and then expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, leader Lan, Jia Yue and I did escape."
Come out, he will be reorganizing the army behind. However, the leader of the blue regiment does not have to worry about having nothing to do. Since we have broken through, we must return to the base before we can escape. Look at the situation. If they are tightly surrounded from the south, we can start from the north.
Go around to the Bohai Sea, and if they move too fast and expose their flaws, and they don’t know that the heroes have arrived, why don’t we take the opportunity to turn around and fight back from the south?! Invite you to drink by the river at that time!”
"Okay!" Old Siming responded immediately. "I also want to see the place where the Black Emperor stopped!" Many people around him echoed in the night.
At this time, Huang Ping finally pointed to another person: "This person's surname is Lu, the leader of the Lu regiment, and his name is Lu Dawei. He has business dealings with our Wei Zhong and happened to pass by. I invited him here temporarily. He is Mrs. Lu's family.
"
Mrs. Lu is the widow of former Duke An of Tingtao City, the largest city in the North. She is also the number one powerful person in the North who indirectly controls at least three of the Eight Dukes of the North. Her rise is closely related to Liu Wenzhou's previous control of the real power of Ice Swamp City, and
The battle between the White Wolf Guards and Liucheng was considered to be a sign that the Northland was in chaos and that the world was in complete and hopeless chaos.
"It's not my family, it's just the same surname." The leader of the Lu regiment who had been silent until Zhang Xing stood up finally spoke up, but he seemed a little worried. "Chief Zhang, the person fighting you is Mr. Bai, right?
"
"yes."
"I heard that Mr. Bai has recruited most of Hebei to form a gang?" "Yes."
"I heard about it when I came here. The Jin region plus half of Hebei's siege, but now we haven't let Chief Zhang fight it out. Doesn't it show the ability of our northern hero?" Yuwen Wanchou suddenly interrupted.
Leader Lu immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, but I'm just worried about the situation. Chief Zhang, hundreds of brothers came with me. Their lives are in my hands. I have to try my best to explain to them. I said I was going to fight back, but I didn't know that you
How many more people are there? How many more people are there?"
Zhang Xing couldn't help but laugh: "How many people do we still have? It's useless for me to tell you now. It will be dawn soon. Why not go and see with your own eyes the head of the Lu regiment after dawn? We only have a few miles to go and we can't fight back. It also depends on the military situation."
For example, the people we are surrounded this time are all the foundation and essence of the gang. Otherwise, the white thieves would not have such a large array. How dare we throw away our foundation so easily?"
Several leaders took the lead and nodded one after another. The leader of the Lu regiment was also speechless for a moment.
Zhang Xingfu looked around again and said: "I'm here now just to reminisce with you! It's not that I want to convince the brothers by reminiscing about the past, but it's the other way around. As soon as the day breaks and the two sides meet, we don't want to talk about military affairs.
None of them work, so I have to rush to see you brothers before dawn. We are only talking about personal friendship now, not about official business. I also ask you brothers to cherish it. It will be really rare to be so close until dawn!"
After saying that, he directly pulled the leader of the Lu group to sit down and asked him about his home situation next to the fire pit.
Leader Lu was obviously embarrassed, but Yuwen Wanchou next to him intervened to explain, and finally said: "What Brother Huang just said is wrong, but it is not without reason. Old Lu's family is just
I have the same surname. I met him when he was young and sold leather goods with his father. Later, when he became successful, I met Mrs. Lu once. She had to say that he was from his family and asked him to take over the goods from the Lu family.
Well."
Everyone was stunned, but Zhang Xing took advantage of the situation and became curious: "How many people here come from the city? How many people come from the Wei? And how many come from their own families like Tuan leader Lu?"
Everyone was talking and talking.
Zhang Xing came to listen and asked about the origins of the names. After all, the tidal flat here was just the place where a few leaders settled, and the tidal flats in the swamp were divided. There were only a hundred or ten people here at most. He actually asked around. In fact,
, these words that Zhang San asked may not necessarily hit the mark on these people’s psychology. Some people may find him annoying, but that’s not the point. The key is to sit down holding hands and ask these questions by the fire pit.
Sure enough, after Zhang Xing finished asking, these people had questions of their own;
Who is the Bai Sanniang who asked Zhang Xingjia? After knowing who Bai Gong's daughter was, he asked Weng's son-in-law why he was fighting? The ways to stabilize the world are different, do you mean Hebei people and Guanlong people?
How many counties, how many soldiers and horses does the gang have now? After knowing the answer, someone immediately asked how many condensed pills, how many Chengdan, and grandmasters? Some people even asked, how could King Xiongtian be willing to give up his chief position?
It was given to Chief Zhang, but because the Black Emperor chose Zhang Sanlang?
Later, people from the outer circle gradually gathered around, and some people came to ask about the customs of Dongdu. They heard that no one could understand it after drinking iced sour plum soup in the summer. Even Yuchi Qilang, a native of northern Shanxi, thought it was outrageous.
Later, Zhang Xing roughly told the journey since starting the business.
It was from Dongjun and Jiyin that they rose up and went down the Ji River. They were defeated by Zhang Xuguo in the lower reaches several times. Then when both sides were exhausted, they relied on the strong support from the upstream base area to defeat the opponent like rolling in the mud, and finally captured all of Dong.
Immediately, he crossed Hebei again and headed north, defeated Xue Changxiong to gain a foothold, and defeated Cao Shancheng to gain strength. Also, because Hebei was destined to have insufficient food this year, he took the risk of attacking Liyangcang. As a result, he was counterattacked and was surrounded by Bai Hengqiu using his strength.
In the end, it was the result of a successful breakout after being surrounded this time.
In the middle of the conversation, it was actually already dark, and many other reinforcements who had settled down at night had come to listen together. By the time they finished listening, it was already completely white in the east, but the sun was just missing.
At this time, Zhang Xing's mouth was dry and he didn't mention it. The others had already been stunned, and no one said anything for a long time.
After a long time, it was Huang Ping who spoke in a low voice: "It sounds ordinary, but it turned out to be the result of hard work. It's a shame for you to be in such a situation."
Yuchi Qilang next to him shook his head: "It sounds easy, but in fact I know how powerful it is. In the past few years, I have been fighting with people on the left and right. The second high school student from Daijun and Chen Ling from Xiguan have only blocked the way.
They have already condensed the elixir and become elixir, so what will happen to Chief Zhang? No wonder Bai Sanniang wants to come here."
The older Lan Zhang was also thoughtful: "But I don't know what the situation was like when Black Emperor started his own business?"
The rest of the people sighed repeatedly, but the originally talkative Yuwen Wanchou was the same as the originally dull Lu Dawei. They had looked at each other many times when Zhang Xing was talking, but now they were silent, lowering their heads and not knowing what to think.
What.
Zhang Xing stood up at this time and looked around, only to see a red sun emerging from the east, and then
Looking south, wisps of smoke were clearly visible there. Without hesitation, he turned around and said, "Everyone, since it's dawn, it's time for us to get down to business. Four or five miles away, you should have seen the fireworks over there.
Now, don’t you want to see how many people are left in our gang? Just come with me! I can’t eat you heroes.”
Everyone stood up with laughter. Huang Ping, Yuchi Qilang, and Lan Zhang went directly to lead the horses. The others followed suit. Not only here, but also the knights from Beidi and Jin who were surrounding them were also clamoring to lead the horses together.
Yuwen Wanchou and Lu Dawei were still a little hesitant at first, but now they looked at each other and had no choice but to lead the horses.
Zhang Xing was given a horse, so he mounted directly and walked in front.
The green and yellow reed marshes in the mainland are intertwined. There are deep water, shallow shoals and muddy puddles. Zhang San didn't know the road, but it didn't stop him from using his ice energy to freeze the muddy puddles and reedy marshes along the way.
He was stiff and then took the lead to walk forward.
He could not walk more than a mile, but hundreds of reinforcements from the north swarmed behind him. They had already alerted the opposite army. Several streams of light flew towards him. Zhang Xing did not dismount or raise his head. He just waved his hand in front, and those streams of light flew in the air.
Turn back.
However, even so, Zhang Xing could still notice that where he had rested before, the familiar red flag with the word "Deposed" had been raised high.
In this way, when the sun fully emerged and the golden light filled the mainland, Zhang Xing and his party arrived at the gang's temporary camp and arrived in front of the silt-filled mountain.
At this time, Chief Zhang suddenly turned around and smiled: "Everyone, please stop."
Many people behind them stopped their horses one after another, and some people even almost slipped on the muddy surface with some ice slag, which made it quite noisy for a while.
Zhang Xing endured his temper and waited for many people behind him to calm down before he continued to speak with a smile: "Brothers, when I arrived at my brothers' place yesterday, I was the only wanderer who returned home, and now I'm back here again, even though it's only a few miles away.
, but I have to go back to being the leader of the gang, and when we talk to each other, we have to get serious. Why don’t you brothers wait for me for a few dozen breaths, and wait for me to go there and pretend to be the leader before you go see me."
Everyone laughed, but let Zhang Xing go.
After a while, he watched Zhang Xing arrive under the flag, dismounted from his horse, took a short white cloak and put it on, found a nest with his back against the mud hill and sat down, and then waved, and everyone swarmed forward again.
After walking onto this piece of land and getting out of the icy mud, the leaders hesitated for a moment almost unanimously. It was not known who was leading the group. They dismounted one after another, only drove their horses to one side, and walked forward.
Going forward, only forty or fifty steps, under the golden light in the east, everyone could see clearly that Zhang Xing was sitting in the earthen nest. The leaders, soldiers and sergeants around the Silt Mountain had different postures, but they all gathered around him consciously, and then all gathered around.
Look over here:
Among them, many people recognized Xiong Bonan and knew that this Heavenly King was now the real Heavenly King, but now he only wore a white short cloak full of gray, sitting on the side of Zhang Xing, looking at everyone with a big golden sword;
There is also Xie Minghe, whom almost everyone knows. They know that he is a famous person from the eight great families in Jiangdong. His cultivation and demeanor are among the best in the world. However, this time he is running around to help others, following the people across the sea of suffering and climbing the purple mountains.
It was a hard journey, and even the beard was greasy. Now some sharp-eyed people saw that the beard seemed to be burned by the fire again. They also stood up wearing a short cloak, and then leaned against the reed nest to look here;
There was even a young man beside the fire, who was obviously seriously injured. He was only lying in a hanging net bag. He couldn't even lift his head, but he forced his head sideways, revealing a face full of stubble and a pair of piercing eyes;
In addition, there are people who are obviously not good people, but they are definitely leaders because they are wearing white or black short cloaks. They are holding long swords or armors. They are fighting or standing around these people. There are still some people who can't tell the difference.
Someone of some identity was playing with some embroidered handkerchief, rubbing some carved mirror, some were changing the clothes and armor that were used to bandage wounds, boiling water with helmets on the fire, and washing the clothes and armor in the shallow water. At this time, everyone stopped and then turned their heads.
Come and see.
It was Zhang Xing himself, whom everyone could see clearly at this time. As expected, he was squinting his eyes, expressionless, and motionless in the sun to see the reinforcements from the north that he had personally brought back.
It's like something has fixed these people.
