On a bright moonlit night, Zhang Chao secretly crossed the river in the lower reaches of Jiangxin City with the assembled army of 3,000 men and horses, and made a detour into the eastern foot of Jiangxin City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Jiangxin City is not just a part of the wall.

The place that is now planned out in the heart of the entire Jiang city is about four miles in circumference, on the tip of that peninsula. But on the southeastern side, near the interior, there is a piece of land about five or six miles in circumference, which is a mountain.

It was just a broken remnant of a mountain range, running diagonally from northwest to southeast, like a wall cutting the peninsula at its point.

In fact, it is precisely because of this mountain range that the Tao River turns to the northwest here, and then turns back to the southeast, making such a narrow peninsula tip.

At the beginning, Zhang Chao chose this place as a border city, not only because it was on the border. Because of the unique topography here, Zhang Chao built a wall of only 100 meters at the northeast port of the diagonal mountain range, and cut off the sharp barricade of this peninsula.

The three-mile-long mountain range, which was diagonally on the southwest shore, just stopped the southwest side.

This is a natural fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhang Chao went down the water of the pond and crossed the river from the mouth of the river to the opposite bank by wooden row.

Directly from the river, bypassing the Shaanxi Pass, which was only 100 meters long, Zhang Chao arrived with 3,000 men and horses to camp in a small valley at the foot of the mountain.

He's going to wait here for the people from the Black Yeli Department to come and die.

The Ministry of Yeli thought that there were only 600 people in Jiangxin City.

But in fact, in addition to the original 600 people, there are about hundreds of soldiers in Jiangxin City, who have entered the city in batches in the name of guards and tax collectors of various caravans, and now there are thousands of soldiers in Jiangxin City.

And Zhang Chao also led 3,000 people to ambush at the foot of the mountain on the peninsula, which was only less than two miles away.

A reorganized field army, nearly 3,000 men.

Camped directly in the woods in a small valley at the foot of the mountain, there was no barracks, and the soldiers pitched their tents directly in the woods, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

After discussing with a group of generals for a long time, Zhang Chao returned to the tent for a lunch break. Recently, I have been too nervous and tired, and now there are many soldiers on both sides of the island, both inside and outside the city.

This time, Zhang Chao also made an all-out move, ready to let the people of the Ministry of Yeli have no return.

I slept for a long time.

Zhang Chao woke up and opened his eyes.

"Plugs, water!"

I called twice, but no one answered.

"Plugs?"

"Is that what you're calling him?" An unfamiliar voice sounded in the account.

Zhang Chao suddenly became alert, looked up, but saw a strange soldier sitting there in his account, holding a knife in his hand, cutting a pear.

And at his feet, there were several people lying upside down. Among them, there are plug pillars, Ke Xiaoba, Ke Thirteen, and Niu brothers.

Unexpectedly, all of his six family guards were put down, tied like a dumpling, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth.

In addition to the bolts, there were six of them, and two others were also tied up, wearing the clothes of the government soldiers, but they were very strange.

Zhang Chao broke out in a cold sweat.

No matter who this person is, if he was going to attack himself just now, he would have died a hundred times ago.

"You shouldn't be a soldier of Taozhou Prefecture, right?"

Zhang Chao didn't shout or shout, this person could quietly put down his six personal soldiers in the barracks of 3,000 people, in his own Chinese army account, and he didn't attract the slightest attention, this person is very professional.

And Zhang Chao felt that the other party should have no malicious intent.

"Well, I'm not a soldier of Taozhou, but I'm a member of the township regiment joint defense team in Taozhou."

Zhang Chao smiled, "With your ability, it would be too condescending to be a member of the township regiment joint defense team." If you are interested, you can come to me, and I can give you a position as a pro-soldier team. ”

"Well, I don't want to be a soldier, and I don't want to be a soldier. As a member of the joint defense team, it was because I had just moved here, and the government had an order for young people to join the joint defense team. The man was still peeling the pear, and said nonchalantly.

"Oh, but I didn't send the joint defense team here, in fact, I'm here with this troop of troops, it's top secret news, and you, a joint defense team, shouldn't know about it, and you shouldn't be here." Zhang Chao smiled and said to him, "Can you help me peel a pear too, I slept at noon, and I was thirsty." ”

"I'm cutting this for you, I guess you woke up at this time."

He handed the peeled pear to Zhang Chao, who took it with a smile and said thank you.

"You've got a good pear."

"The knife is pretty average, and in fact I didn't get a mission to come here. I was tasked with being on standby, but because I found two rats, I followed, and I didn't expect them to come here. By the way, your guards are really average, and if it weren't for me, you would have been slaughtered by these two rats. ”

Zhang Chao glanced at the two strangers who were also tied up.

"I don't know them, do you?"

"Acquaintance, although these two people look a little ordinary, but their fame in the rivers and lakes is very loud. Do you know that the Shadow Society of Luoyang will be? ”

Zhang Chao shook his head.

He knew that there were rangers in Chang'an, but he had never heard of the Shadow Society in Luoyang.

"The Shadow Society is a killer organization, with dedicated people taking over the business, and then handing over the business to the killers below. These two are the famous killers in the Shadow Society, they have never missed, but the price is very high, and they start with at least 100,000 yuan for one business. ”

Zhang Chao walked over and squatted in front of the two men.

"May I take them out of their mouths and ask them to speak?"

"Whatever you want."

Zhang Chao took a person first, "What's your name?" ”

The man turned his head to glare at the man who had taken them down.

"Nie Qing, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. I didn't believe it, I took the task and received the deposit, but I regretted it! ”

Zhang Chao looked at Nie Qing.

"My name is indeed Nie Qing, but that's my stage name for walking the rivers and lakes. My real name is Ke Qing, and now I am from Ningmin Village, by the way, my ancestral home is from Zhangjiagou, and the old village is my uncle. Thank you very much for what you have done to the folks in Zhangjiagou! ”

Combining the words of the two, Zhang Chao sorted out the clues.

This Nie Qing is a well-known killer in the rivers and lakes. He seemed to have received money and took on a mission to assassinate himself, but he came to Longyou, but he settled here and did not come to kill himself. The reason seems to be that he is actually the person who went out in Zhangjiagou in his early years, and he seems to be grateful for the things he did in Zhangjiagou.

Then he came here, and instead of killing himself, he was secretly protecting himself.

When another group of killers came to Taozhou, Nie Qing immediately discovered them, and then when they sneaked into the barracks and wanted to assassinate themselves, Nie Qing Huangque followed behind and arrested these two well-known killers on the rivers and lakes.

Here's what it seems.

However, Zhang Chao is not the kind of person who can easily believe the words of others.

He turned to the killer and said, "Whose money did you take, whose mission did you take?" ”

"We will never betray our customers, we are not Nie Qing!"

Zhang Chao shook his head with a smile, turned to Nie Qing and said, "Can I borrow your knife and use it?" ”

Nie Qing looked at his knife and said with a smile, "This knife has been with me for many years, forget it, I'll give it to you." ”

Taking the knife, Zhang Chao said thank you, and then unceremoniously cut off one of the killer's fingers.

"You don't have to say it, but I won't kill you easily, I'll make your life worse than death. Since you came to kill me, you should know that I also know some medical skills, and there are ways to cut off your flesh little by little and feed it to the dogs, but you can still keep you from dying. Do you want to try, without hands and feet, when a person is a stick, stuffed into a big urn, and the first thing he wakes up every day is the feeling of wishing he was dead? ”

The killer's face turned pale, gritting his teeth and still holding on.

Zhang Chao cut another section, he didn't cut the second finger directly, but just cut off another section like a carrot.

Ke Qing looked at Zhang Chao's smiling and cutting fingers, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Zhang Sanxin became ruthless, he was really ruthless.

"Zhang Yuanjun, in fact, what I can tell you is a killer hired by King Yuanji of Qi. I can also tell you that it was actually the crown prince who asked the king of Qi to kill you. As far as I know, the prince wants to kill you very much, and he will get rid of you as soon as possible! ”

Zhang Chao shook his head, "Ke Daxia, it's boring for you to be like this, you said it, then what do you say they have to do to me?" ”

"Forget it, I recently got two new puppies, both of them are mastiffs, they specialize in meat, and they especially like to eat raw meat, especially live food. These two guys are doing their last thing, feed me the dogs. ”

The killer finally collapsed.

He also once thought that no matter how Zhang Chao tortured him, he wouldn't open his mouth. But he only cut off one finger, and then he had to feed it to the dogs, which he really didn't expect.

"Spare my life, I'm willing to recruit anything."

"I know everything, and I want you to make a fart."

Zhang Chao cut the rope of the bolts, and the six guys took off the cloth in their mouths, and they were about to touch the knife to cut Ke Qing with an angry face.

"Stand down!"

Zhang Chao scolded, and the six bolts reluctantly stepped aside, their faces full of shame.

"If you don't learn your own art, you will work hard to practice your skills when you go back."

Ke Qing had been sitting there, and he didn't even move when they drew their knives.

"You're no longer interrogating?"

"There's no need for that."

Ke Qing was a little surprised at this time, "You really believe me like that?" ”

"Because you deserve to believe that if you were going to kill me, you would have had a chance just now."

"Maybe I'm just trying to get close to you?"

"Who would be so boring?"

Zhang Chao handed the knife to the bolt, "Take these two people down and feed the dogs." ”

The matter ends here, there is nothing to interrogate, the truth of the matter is there, that is, the prince wants to kill himself. No matter how clear he is in the interrogation, even if they are willing to confess and detain them, it will not have any effect. It's better to stop this matter like this.

"Thank you, Ke Daxia."

"I'm not a hero, I used to be an assassin, but I've washed my hands." Ke Qing replied with a smile.

"I have a reluctant request to ask you to be my guard temporarily, I wonder if you are willing to help?"

Ke Qing just smiled, "I'm really not interested in being a pro-soldier or something, but there is no problem with being a temporary guard for you." But say in advance, up to three months. ”

"Okay, that's a deal." (To be continued.) )
