Chapter 21: The Pursuers
It didn't take long for the two guards to run back with a few pheasants and rabbits.
They didn't wait for Zhang Jing's instructions, and began to deal with the prey by themselves.
Skinning rabbits and chopping them out of their internal organs, their techniques are much more skilled than Yingchen.
After processing the rabbit and cutting it into small pieces, they began to fiddle with the pheasants again.
When Zhang Jing saw that the guards had already begun to pluck the chickens, he suddenly came up with a new way to eat them.
So Zhang Jing asked the guards to stop, and told them to just make an opening in the chicken's butt, then take out the internal organs, and finally clean the inside of the chicken cavity.
Although the guards didn't understand why they had to deal with it like this, they still did as Zhang Jing instructed.
Throwing all the things used in the barbecue to Ying Chen, Zhang Jing called Min Tong to find the leaves of the chicken.
There are no lotus leaves in the mountains, so I have to find a substitute to use.
The two of them wandered around the neighborhood and found only one suitable leaf.
According to Min Tong, this tree is called mountain lotus.
After confirming that this kind of leaf was not poisonous, Zhang Jing got closer and smelled it, but there was no smell on the leaves, so Zhang Jing pulled a bunch of leaves down.
Although the leaves of the mountain lotus cannot wrap a chicken in one piece, it is enough.
Bring back the leaves and rinse them off with clean water.
After telling Yingchen what points to pay attention to in the barbecue and what seasonings to put in, Zhang Jing let him operate it himself, and what Zhang Jing had to do next was to concentrate on making these chickens.
Apply the condiment to the inside of the chicken cavity first, then start to mud it.
Then coat the chicken's body with mud until the mud coats the chicken.
First, wrap the mud-coated chicken layer by layer with mountain lotus leaves, and then tie the wrapped chicken with fine vines with excellent toughness, so as to complete the preliminary preparations.
Dig a hole in the ground, put the tied chickens in the pit, and fill the hole.
Light a fire on the top of the pit, add firewood to make sure the fire burns strong enough, and all that remains is to sit by the fire and wait patiently.
When Zhang Jing got all this done, Ying Chen had already started to eat barbecue.
Zhang Jing didn't come over to eat together, he had to wait for the flower chicken he made himself.
Seeing that Zhang Jing didn't go to eat barbecue, Min Tong and Chang Bo swallowed their saliva and resisted the urge to eat barbecue.
Although Min Shen couldn't hold back, he kept a little stomach, and the devil knows if this quiet boy would come up with something more delicious.
Ying Chen and the four guards swept the barbecue away, and one by one they had round bellies and kept burping.
After eating the barbecue, after some time, Zhang Jing estimated that the flower chicken should be cooked.
Put out the fire and dig the chicken out of the pit, and the mud on the chicken has already turned into a hard shell.
Peel off the mountain lotus leaves, peel off the mud shell, and the chicken feathers are also taken off by the mud shell, even the fluff on the chicken is no exception.
I picked it up and smelled it, cut off a piece of chicken, and the aroma spread.
After eating the chicken in his mouth and chewing it, Zhang Jing shook his head and said, "The taste is not ideal."
Originally, everyone was full of anticipation when they smelled the fragrance, but then they heard Zhang Jing say that the taste was not ideal, and everyone didn't know if there was a problem with their five senses or if Zhang Jing was lying.
Zhang Jing cut a piece for Min Tong, and when Min Tong began to chew, her mouth was stuffed with chicken and she couldn't make a sound, and she could only vaguely hear that she seemed to be saying that it was delicious.
"Brother Jing, this chicken is so delicious, how can you say that the taste is not ideal?" Min Tong asked Zhang Jing after eating the chicken in his mouth.
"Well, it's really not ideal, although the mountain lotus leaf is only one word different from the lotus leaf, but when used to make this chicken, the taste is still a little bit worse. After all, although the mountain lotus leaves have no peculiar smell, they do not have the fragrance of lotus leaves. Zhang Jing gave an explanation.
Min Tong nodded in understanding, and then said no more, because she had already pulled out a knife, picked up a chicken and was eating it.
A similar scene was played out in Changbo.
Min Shen also ate a little chicken, and the old man nodded frequently.
The four guards were just staring at each other at first, but then they ate a little at the risk of dying, and the guards regretted that they had eaten too much barbecue, so that they could not eat it now.
Ying Chen is the same, after tasting the flower chicken, he also regrets that he shouldn't have eaten too much barbecue.
After staying in the cave like this for two days, Min Shen began to get anxious.
Because according to the footsteps, the brigade should also arrive.
After waiting for another two days, no one came, and Min Shen knew that he couldn't wait any longer.
I saw him take out a jade talisman, his fingers kept scratching on the jade talisman, and when he stopped the movement in his hand, a ray of light quickly lit up.
At the same time as the jade talisman shattered, a tiny light of yellow and green entwined rushed out from the jade talisman, and this light flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed, and finally disappeared into the air.
The waiting time was not long, and a light similar to the light that flew out before quickly appeared in front of Min Shen, Min Shen grabbed it, and then closed his eyes for a moment, when he opened his eyes, he already knew what had happened to the team.
"Someone attacked them, more than half of the Min clan people who came out this time have been killed and wounded, and now they are hiding at the edge of the beast forest to the west of this place." Min Shen explained to everyone.
"Tong'er, leave two guards here to protect you, and I will lead someone to the rescue." Min Shen said to Min Tong.
"Yes, second uncle, you pay attention to safety." Min Tong hurriedly replied.
Min Shen nodded, and then hurriedly left with two guards.
At this time, Zhang Jing was still immersed in the shock brought to him by Min Shen's coquettish operation.
His understanding of charms is only superficial, and he can figure out how to use the two boxes of things left by his honorary father, and he thinks that he is already very good.
Until today, after seeing Min Shen's use of jade talismans, he was pale, and the function of this thing is really fucking much.
Min Shen should have used a communication charm, like making a phone call, or more like radio communication.
But this thing also has a positioning function, and it's also a mess, and if there is a video function, it's even more remarkable.
Zhang Jing was still yy, and suddenly felt that his sleeves were pulled twice, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Min Tong who was pulling his sleeves.
"Brother Jing, will the people who attacked the Min clan find us?"
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, just now he only cared about fantasizing there, but he didn't think about his current situation.
The children of the Min family are also led by masters, and they have all been poisoned, so if these people encounter gangsters, won't they die ugly.
"We can't stay here anymore, we have to change places. Deal with the traces here, and we'll leave immediately, no fire can be regenerated for a few days. ”
Zhang Jing didn't want to stay here for a moment, it was very likely that the smoke from the fire in the past two days had already revealed his specific location.
So the men quickly cleaned up, then covered up the traces and hid the cave again.
If you can't go outside the beast forest, you can only go deeper.
The two guards were at the end, cleaning up any trails left along the way, and they were more experienced in this area than the others.
After two more days of walking deep into the forest, the group stopped.
Zhang Jing chose a protruding rock as a temporary resting place, after all, this place can shelter from the wind and rain, and there is a certain degree of concealment in the mountain col.
Day or night, everyone takes turns to be on duty at the ridge, and even if they encounter danger, they can be warned in advance.
Less than a day after Zhang Jing and the others left the cave, a group of people came near the cave.
As soon as the group arrived, they began to search around.
They found first the ashes left behind by the fire, and then they found the cave.
It didn't take much time for these people to find the traces that Zhang Jing had covered up, saying that the Yin guards' methods of covering up their traces were not high.
There were more than a dozen people in the group who had just arrived, and after they found the cave, they immediately dispersed their men and conducted a carpet search around the area of the cave for about ten miles, but they found nothing.
"Sixth Brother Wen, these people are very alert and ran away in advance." A thin man with a mole at the corner of his mouth said.
"Well, they should have gotten the news of the attack on the Min family, but they shouldn't be able to run far, so we'll continue to chase." The man, who was called the sixth brother of the composition, gave an order after analysis.
"Cloud City, you're good at tracking, let's find the direction of their escape first." Sixth Brother Wen sent a task to the man with a mole at the corner of his mouth.
"Sixth brother, just look at it." Yun Cheng answered and went to work.
An old man standing on the side didn't speak, in fact, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
This raid was initiated by his Zhen clan, but he didn't expect that he made a mistake in command when he raided the Min clan.
Although he also had many members of the Min clan, his own losses were not small, especially the Zhen clan people he brought this time suffered the heaviest casualties.
The mistake made him lose his prestige, and then he also lost the command of this team, and now the person in charge of the command has become Wen Song, the sixth elder of the Wen family.
A year ago, the assassination of Yin Jing failed, and all the people sent by the Zhen clan were wiped out.
He didn't care much about the death of the others, but one of them was his own nephew, Zhenfan.
This nephew is very talented, and he was ranked as the elder of the Zhen clan at a young age, but in the end, he capsized in the gutter and died inexplicably.
At that time, the Zhen clan held an intra-clan meeting, and there was only one topic on the agenda, and that was revenge.
As the great elder of the Zhen clan, he Zhenhan has not appeared in front of people for a long time, and he wants to avenge his nephew the most, so this time he took the initiative to invite Ying to lead the people of the Zhen clan to come.
In fact, it's not just him, but also Wen Song, the sixth elder of the Wen family, and Yun Cheng, the fourth elder of the Yun family, are all people who don't show up much.
Including the clansmen they brought out this time, few of them walked outside, and their purpose in doing so was to kill the Min clan by surprise.
However, there is an exception in this group, and that is Yanwu, who is standing not far from Zhenhan.
As a small family, the Yan family was originally not a fart in the eyes of these families.
Even the Yan clan and the Zhen clan fought for control of Yin Jing before.
In the end, neither of them got what they wanted.
Then, the Yan family made overtures to the Zhen family, and the Zhen family accepted the Yan family's overtures, and the two families immediately became allies again.
Although Zhenhan was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't say anything, after all, he made his mistake first.
Not wanting to pay attention to Wen Song, Zhenhan beckoned to Yanwu.
"Yanwu, are you sure that treacherous villain has come out of the Min clan?" Jeonghan asked.
"Yes, Great Elder, I saw it with my own eyes. It's just that they are followed by Min Shen, and I can't fight against them, so I didn't make a move. I followed them for a long time, but unfortunately I lost it when I encountered a little trouble later. Yan Wu replied respectfully.
"Oh! What kind of trouble is it that you can't even track it. Zhenhan thought that Yanwu was lying, so he thought about testing him.
"I met a crazy woman, I don't know which sect it is, her strength is extremely strong, I passed by her, she grabbed me, I had to say that I stole her things, and after some nonsense, I started with her. Although I had a tie with her and got rid of her entanglement, I also lost my goal because of it. ”
Yan Wu said a lot of it, from beginning to end.
Zhenhan looked at Yanwu's expression when he spoke, so he hummed and didn't ask any more.
In fact, Yanwu lied, and he did lose his silence because he met a woman.
But the fact that he was beaten like a pig's head by the woman at that time, he had no face to say it.
