Chapter 12: The First Sight of the Boar Forest

The trees are still these trees, the shops are also these shops, the city wall is still this city wall, in Lin Chong's eyes, all this seems so strange.

Come to think of it, the dignified head of the 800,000 forbidden army, the henchman of Lord Taiwei, now that he has ended up with a military and a stabbing with Cangzhou, who can you expect to treat you as the original Lin Chong?

It is also thanks to Lin Chong's father-in-law Zhang Jiaotou that he has a wide range of people, and Confucius Sun Ding admires Lin Chong's past behavior, so that the stick was reduced to twenty sticks, even so, but it also beat Lin Chong's legs with blood, and before he could rest for a while, the messenger couldn't wait to put him in shackles and wooden shackles, urging him to hurry up on the road.

About three miles away from the city, there is a pavilion to send the king, Zhang Jiaotou and Lin Niangzi have been waiting for Lin Chong here for a long time. "Lady, isn't that person an official?" Jin'er's eyes were sharp, and she saw Lin Chong and the three of them from a distance.

At this moment, Lin Chong had lost the demeanor of the 800,000 forbidden army leaders in the past, and stumbled forward under the push of Dong Chao and Xue Ba.

When Lin Niangzi saw Lin Chong like this, her heart was broken, and she leaned on the pillar to wipe her tears. Seeing the woman like this, Zhang Jiaotou couldn't help but sigh and greeted him. "The two guards have worked hard, I have prepared wine and food in the pavilion, and please make it convenient for the little girl and son-in-law to talk a few words." As he spoke, he took out ten taels of silver and handed it over.

"I said Zhang Jiaotou, didn't Lin Chong already write a letter of resignation, and ...... with your daughter?"

"Alas, what are you talking about, listen to Zhang Jiaotou, let them talk about a few words and what is the matter." Xue Ba stretched out his hand to take the silver two from Zhang Jiaotou's walk, pulled Dong Chao and walked towards the pavilion.

Lin Chong had already seen Zhang Zhenniang, and he really didn't want to see her. I wanted to bow my head and walk over, but how could that Zhang Zhenniang be willing to let him go, "Official, where are you going, are you just not waiting to see the slave family?" ”

When Lin Chong heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, turned around, and looked at Zhang Zhenniang, whose eyes were red and swollen while crying, and who was carrying pear blossoms in the rain, "Why are you so troubled?" I am going to go for a long distance uncertainly, and my life and death are uncertain. Therefore, I wrote a letter of resignation to you, and I hope that the lady is not waiting for me, and he can choose a good person to marry himself. ”

Zhang Zhenniang had to retire at this time, and after hearing what Lin Chong said in person, she was crying at the moment, the sky was dark, and she almost fainted. Lin Chong couldn't bear it, turned his face away, and listened to the head of the sect and said: "Don't panic, my son, I won't let you marry again, even if he can't come back, I will support you for the rest of your life." ”

Dong Chao and Xue Ba were annoyed by Zhang Zhenniang's crying, so they ate and drank hastily, and repeatedly urged Lin Chong to go on the road. Zhang Jiaotou was helpless, and took out the silver and handed it to the two, and asked the two to take care of Lin Chong all the way; At the same time, he instructed Lin Chong and said: "You just have to go with confidence, Zhenniang has my own I will take it back, keep it in the house, and wait until he will be amnesty on another day, and I will meet again." Lin Chong's eyes were in tears, and he nodded "yes" at the moment.

Under the repeated urging of Dong Chao and the others, Lin Chong bid farewell to Zhang Jiaotou and his party, and walked forward step by step. Zhang Zhenniang didn't know where she got the courage at this time, so she chased after Lin Chong's back, but where could she catch up with her since she was a child! After running a few steps, he threw himself into the dust, looked at the distant figure of Lin Chong and his party, and shouted: "Official, the slave family will wait for you to come back!" ”

There is a mound, not far from the pavilion, and two young sons on the mound, one with a sullen face, and the other with red eyes, staring at what is happening in front of him.

"Brother Junchen, did you send someone to ask me to come here, just to let me see this?" The sullen boy pointed to Zhang Zhenniang, who was crying in the dark, and yelled at Junchen.

"Young Master Huan, no, I should call you His Royal Highness King Yun, what do you say, His Royal Highness Zhao Kai, the third prince." Junchen turned sideways and said word by word to Zhao Kai. "How do you know?" Zhao Kai was taken aback and asked in a deep voice.

"Today's third son of the saint loves music and rhythm, formerly known as Zhao Huan, also known as "Huan Gongzi", and later changed to Zhao Kai, how can I not know! Junchen smiled miserably and pointed to the post, "It's Lin Chong who is the thorn in front of you, but do you know what the same thorn is gone?" Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers! Think that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, I have been defeated and defeated repeatedly with the Khitan in the north, and there have been many defeats and peaces, and there are still few things to pay compensation for land cession? Now that the Jurchens in the north are rising again, the country needs such good generals to fight on the battlefield, to recover their homeland, to expand their territory, but you see, what do you do? There is no ambition to recover the homeland but dare not put it into practice, there is no wealth that is beyond the world but only knows the reparation of the land, there is no equipment of the best countries and the generals who are brave and good at war, but they only know how to steal the empty material and conspire to frame them. Junchen was heartbroken and yelled violently.

"The major affairs of the court have their own conclusions of the courts. The country has its own laws, and it is not allowed to be trampled on by others. No matter what the reason is, Lin Chong is framed or self-justified, it is a capital crime to bring a knife into the White Tiger Festival Hall! When Zhao Kai heard this, he didn't let it go at all, took a step forward, stared at Junchen and said: "I know that now in the court, mediocrity, greed, treachery, and evil are in charge, blinding Shengcong. However, you must know that there will always be a day when the Holy One will wake up, and there will always be courtiers who are loyal to the country to share their worries, mediate heaven and earth for them, and turn things around. Junchen, you shouldn't be a pianist, I know you're talented, come and help me, okay? ”

The solicitation in Zhao Kai's words has been undoubtedly revealed, but Junchen has never had a glimmer of hope for Song Huizong's monarchs and ministers, how can he let Zhao Kai get his wish! "Zixu's merit is high and Wu Wangji is jealous, and the literary species is the first to destroy Wu's body. It's a pity that Han Xin's life was left empty...... The king decreed that the loyal ministers should be taken away, the sword was surrounded by the soldiers, the ropes were wrapped and tied with ropes, and the flesh trembled and the heart trembled! Junchen whispered a few words in his mouth, and Zhao Kai's face changed dramatically.

Zhao Kai just wanted to refute Junchen a few words, but saw Junchen's face was solemn, and solemnly saluted him, Zhao Kai's heart trembled, and secretly said "Not good", but when he was about to speak, he heard Junchen say: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the so-called "Tao is not the same". Junchen is timid, he is afraid to agree to His Highness, and immediately it will be another Nirvana's fate, and he really can't accept His Highness's good intentions, and please ask His Highness to be smart! Junchen bids farewell to His Highness! After that, he didn't give Zhao Kai a chance to speak, and turned around and left directly.

There is a saying "wave your sleeves and don't take away a cloud." Zhao Kai looked at Junchen's distant figure, and an urge to walk with him appeared in his heart. But he knew that he couldn't, he was the third prince of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and he was tightly tied to this dynasty and this country since he was born, "Treasure!" Brothers! After all, the tears still flowed, but I don't know if this was for Junchen's departure or for the unknown future of the dynasty.

The weather at noon in early summer was already extremely hot, and the hot sun only felt tingling all over the body. Lin Chong, Dong Chao, and Xue Ba walked on the road for a few days, and at first they didn't feel it, but when the weather became hotter day by day, the rod wounds on their bodies flared up, and the pain was unbearable, so they had to move slowly step by step.

"I said that you don't know anything about this army, you go to Cangzhou for more than 2,000 miles, according to your way of walking, when will you be able to get there, and you should come with the master soon." The weather was hot, and Xue Ba had a seizure, and he stretched out his hand to push Lin Chong forward.

Lin Chong staggered, and it was easy to stand up, "It's convenient to go up and down, it's not that the villain doesn't go, it's really this stick injury, please take a step ......" Saying, Lin Chong licked his chapped lips, and begged Dong and Xue again, "Up and down, in the past half a day, half a grain of water and rice has not entered, and there is labor...... Begging for saliva. A few words, Lin Chong trembled, I really don't know how long I was hungry along the way.

"Drink, drink, you thief with the army, give you a drink, what do you drink! Not at all, why don't you hurry up and come to the old man. Xue Ba was furious, and he picked up the water and fire stick, and wanted to give Lin Chong a good look. When Dong Chao saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xue Ba and said to Lin Chong: "Sect Leader Lin, you go slowly, don't listen to this noise." With that, he glanced at Xue Ba.

The three of them went forward for three miles, and saw that Lin Chong really couldn't walk, and Xue Ba was about to scold, not wanting Dong Chao to say: "There seems to be a forest ahead, we might as well go to the forest to rest for a while, and then go after it is cooler." With that, he stepped forward and picked up Lin Chong and walked towards the forest, leaving Xue Ba alone to grind behind.

Walking to the forest, I suddenly felt a gloomy aura coming to me. What a treacherous forest: the withered vines are like rain feet, and the branches are like clouds. I don't know what year the day shines, but the soul of injustice is constantly worried. This forest is the first steep place on the road from Bianjing to Cangzhou, and it is called the wild boar forest.

Lin Chong was really tired at this time, and as the two of them entered the depths of the forest, they fell against a big tree. Injuries on injury, physical and mental exhaustion, even the iron man will be tired, not to mention that Lin Chong still has a heavy flail on his body. Lin Chong leaned obliquely against the tree, his bones seemed to fall apart, his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't open them, and he fell asleep after a while.

In a trance, Lin Chong suddenly felt that his hands and feet could not move, and he eagerly opened his eyes and found that his hands and feet had been tied, and Dong and Xue were tying themselves to the tree with ropes. Dong Chao saw Lin Chong wake up, with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Lin Jiaotou, Xiao Xue and I are really tired, and I can't say that I want to go to bed." But I'm afraid that you will get away, and my heart is uncertain, so I can only tie you up, so that we can sleep with peace of mind. ”

Lin Chong said with a smile: "The villain will not leave for the rest of his life after eating the lawsuit, since the villain has to be tied up and down to be at ease, then just tie up and down." ”

Dong and Xue tied Lin Chong firmly. The two glanced at each other, jumped up at the same time, picked up the water and fire stick in their hands, looked at Lin Chong and said: "Lin Jiaotou, this is not to blame our brothers, who called Lin Jiaotou You offended Gao Taiwei, then Sun Tuiguan and Lu Yuhou of Taiwei Mansion have made money with us, so that we will take your life." As the saying goes, "Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others." "What's more, if I don't understand you, my brothers will die, and even their wives and children will die. I can't say it, I can only be sorry for you Lin Jiaotou. Don't worry, my water and fire stick is fast and ruthless, and I will keep it with a stick. As he spoke, the two compared the distance and raised the water and fire sticks high.

Lin Chong struggled left and right, and seeing that the two of them had already raised their sticks, his heart was in a hurry, and he shouted loudly: "Up and down!" You and I have no grievances in the past, and no hatred in the near future, so why bother! If Lin Chong's life is left today, he will be rewarded in the future! ”

Dong Chao listened, and said with a smile: "The lives of my brothers and sisters still have to be rescued by the head of the family, how can they still save the head of the god?" If the head of the sect is not good, save my brother's whole family. ”

Xue Ba also laughed twice, and then said: "Today next year is your death day, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, and it is the father and son who want to take your life, and it has nothing to do with my brothers." Lin Jiaotou, when you get down, don't blame people, don't gossip, let's take your life! ”

With that, the two raised their sticks and slashed at Lin Chong's head.

"I'm dying!" Lin Chong closed his eyes in despair.
