Chapter 1025: Endless Aftertaste
Hearing this answer, Zhang Hetian's face was extremely ugly, and the number of surviving disciples was much less than he imagined.
After being silent for a while, Zhang Hecai said in a hoarse voice: "Why is the number of casualties so serious, I remember that when I finally broke through, there were still seven or eight hundred people." ”
Sun Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Master, don't you know, in the previous battle, as soon as you gave the order to break through, all the disciples panicked, and became six gods without masters, everyone's combat power was greatly reduced, and they were all in chaos, and they were all killed by the enemy, and they all died tragically on the spot." ”
In this case, there are too few people who can break through, and more than 100 people have escaped, which is already a great fluke.
Hearing this, Zhang Hetian suddenly blamed himself, and he said with annoyance: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't given the order to break through, maybe so many people wouldn't have died." ”
Sun Ning hurriedly said: "Master, how can I blame you, you are also for the good of everyone, the situation at that time, if you don't break through, everyone will have to die, and now at least we have more than a hundred people alive, which is also very lucky." ”
Zhang Hetian shook his head and said nothing, at this moment, he was very painful in his heart, since he served as the head of the Wudang faction, the prestige of the Wudang faction has been rising, in recent years, there is a faint momentum beyond the Shaolin Temple, but who knows that in the end it ended up like this, Zhang Hetian is very sad at the moment, the Wudang faction has the end now, he can not escape the blame.
Sun Ning on the side was so sad and sad that he didn't know what to do at the moment, so he could only stand aside honestly and whisper a word of comfort from time to time.
Fortunately, Zhang Hetian was not an ordinary person after all, he forcibly suppressed his sad mood, raised his head and said to Sun Ning: "Don't worry, as long as I am here for a day, the Wudang faction will not die, tomorrow morning, we will leave here, go out to find a doctor, and heal my injuries as soon as possible." ”
Sun Ning said worriedly: "Master, won't you be too anxious, your situation has not stabilized yet, and it will be very dangerous to travel a long distance rashly." ”
Zhang Hetian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not so fragile, just do what I say." ”
Seeing that Zhang Hetian insisted, Sun Ning had to nod and agree at the moment, and then the two of them discussed a few more words, and finally Sun Ning said goodbye and left.
After Sun Ning left, Zhang Hetian's face turned pale, wow, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and the next moment, Zhang Hetian's breath was even weaker, if it weren't for his amazing willpower, I'm afraid he would have passed out long ago.
Zhang Hetian hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, quickly swallowed it, and then meditated to run the true qi to regulate his injuries.
Half an hour passed like this, Zhang Hetian's pale face looked better, he slowly collected his strength, and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.
In fact, Zhang Hetian's situation was much more serious than he imagined, but in order to appease Sun Ning and others and give them the confidence to live, he forcibly suppressed his injuries and did not let others know the specific situation.
Facts have proved that Zhang Hetian did it very correctly, and now the surviving disciples like Sun Ning and Bai Qing are exhausted, at this time, they must be given confidence, otherwise, many people will collapse.
Gently wiping away the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, Zhang Hetian's eyes were full of fierceness, and he couldn't help but say viciously: Yang Lin, you wait for me, you brought me the pain of the Wudang faction, and I Zhang Hetian will definitely pay it back ten times in the future, let's see.
At the same time, Yang Lin on the other side naturally didn't know the situation on Zhang Hetian's side, and at this time, Yang Lin and the others were resting in a remote city.
In this battle with the Wudang faction, although the other party was successfully annihilated, Yang Lin and the others themselves also suffered a lot of losses, with more than 1,000 dead and wounded, and cannon fodder troops like Zhuge Qingyun suffered heavy losses, almost one out of ten.
And the deaths and injuries of these cannon fodder, of course Yang Lin would not take it to heart, and he ignored them in the blink of an eye, very ruthless.
In the small city, due to the large number of people, Yang Lin almost chartered all the inns in the city, even so, it was not enough, and finally rented a few courtyards temporarily, which barely settled his subordinates.
And Yang Lin and the arrival of so many of them was a big deal for this remote city, and even the local government was alarmed, and immediately sent officials to check the situation.
When the county magistrate learned that Yang Lin and the others were all martial arts people with good martial arts, his face immediately changed and he became nervous.
After all, Yang Lin's force is too strong, and it is not something that the county government can deal with at all, if Yang Lin has any bad intentions, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
Immediately, the county magistrate summoned all his henchmen to discuss a solution.
The following Xiao Shi was helpless in the face of the expectant eyes of his own adults, and they all lowered their heads in shame.
Seeing this scene, the white-haired county made the old man look disappointed, and then said: "Are you all helpless, if those people in the rivers and lakes have bad intentions, our county will suffer." ”
Everyone present was also very worried, and after the scene was silent for a while, someone finally spoke, and the person who spoke was about fifty years old, and it was Zhang Wen, the master of the county government.
I saw Zhang Wen clasping his fists and said: "My lord, for today's plan, we must first determine the other party's intention, it may be just our imagination, the other party is very likely to be just passing by, and it may be possible that he will leave early tomorrow morning." ”
This was agreed by many people, and the old man of the county order also nodded slightly, and then said: "In your opinion, what should we do next?"
Zhang Wendao: "There are not many things we can do, the primary purpose is to express our goodwill and touch the details of each other casually." ”
The old man of the county order nodded again and again: "At this time, it is reasonable, I don't know which of you is going to visit each other." ”
Hearing this, all the people present were startled, and immediately lowered their heads, and none of them were willing to accept this drudgery.
This situation made the old man of the county commander secretly angry, he usually did not treat his subordinates badly, but at the critical moment, no one shared it for him, and the result was really chilling.
Just when the old man of the county order was about to be completely angry, Master Zhang Wen sighed, and then said, "My lord, this time, let me go." ”
Seeing that Zhang Wen took the initiative to agree to this, the old man of the county order was immediately very moved, and said excitedly: "Master Zhang, you are still loyal, at the critical moment, you are the most reliable." ”
While speaking, the old man of the county order also glared at the shrunken turtles viciously, which made the rest of the people panic.
Zhang Wen asked: My lord, without further ado, I will leave now, but what kind of gift should I give?
The old man of the county order said in a deep voice: "I have a valuable white jade Guanyin in my house, send this thing over." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Wen couldn't help but be taken aback, and then said: "Will the gift be too expensive, otherwise, let's choose something else." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "No need, just give the white jade Guanyin, if the gift is too light, it can't express our goodwill." ”
Seeing that his adult insisted, Zhang Wen stopped persuading, and then followed the county order to the backyard, and after a while, when Zhang Wen came out again, he already had a wooden box in his hand.
With a few servants, Zhang Wen headed towards the inn where Yang Lin was.
When he arrived at his destination, even though he had already prepared, when Zhang Wen saw the warrior guarding the gate of the inn, he still began to get nervous.
It's really because those warriors are fierce, and their bodies are awe-inspiring, and they are not ordinary goods at first glance, Zhang Wen, an ordinary weak scholar, is not afraid.
Not only Zhang Wen, but also a few officials who came, were also in a tight mood, subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife, and looked at the warrior at the door in shock and fear.
Zhang Wen took a deep breath, walked up hard, and then said to the martial artist at the door: "Several heroes, under Zhang Wen, is the master of the local county government, and this time I came here on the order of my family to ask to see your master." ”
Hearing this, several warriors guarding the door looked inexplicable, and they couldn't understand what the people from the county government were doing when they came to find their son?
Several warriors looked at each other, and then one of the bearded warriors spoke: "You wait, I'll go in and report it, as for whether my son-in-law sees you or not, it depends on your luck." ”
Zhang Wenqiang said with a smile: "There is a hero, be careful, please smile." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Wen quietly handed a full amount of silver to the bearded warrior, who couldn't help but smile when he saw this, flipped his hand, and quickly put the silver away.
After receiving the benefits, the bearded warrior looked at Zhang Wen a lot more pleasing to the eyes, and said with a smile: You are sensible, wait, I will say a few good words for you.
Of course, the bearded man is talking nonsense, with his level, where is he qualified to talk more in front of Yang Lin, he said this, just putting gold on his face.
Zhang Wen was also very clear about this, he secretly disdained it in his heart, but his face showed gratitude, and he hugged his fists at the bearded warrior and thanked him.
The bearded warrior hurriedly entered the inn, quickly went up to the second floor, and came to the front of the Tianzi No. 1 upper room, and then nodded and said to Tong Lianting, who was guarding outside the door: Master Tong, there is a master named Zhang Wen outside, saying that he was sent by the county order, and he wants to take our son aside.
Hearing this, Tong Lianting couldn't help frowning slightly, thought about it, and went in to report to Yang Lin.
At this time, Yang Lin had just taken a bath, and was lying on the wooden bed, looking at an ancient book, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and said without raising his head: Come in!
With a squeak, the door was opened, and then, Tong Lianting walked in cautiously, and respectfully hugged his fists and said: Childe, the local yamen sent a master to come, saying that he wanted to see you for something, I don't know if you want to see you.
Yang Lin was surprised, his eyes moved away from the ancient book, looked at Tong Lianting, and said puzzledly: "Unprovoked, what are the local county commanders doing when they send someone to see me?
In the face of Yang Lin's inquiry, Tong Lianting smiled bitterly, speechless, he didn't know the specific inside story, so naturally he couldn't answer Yang Lin's question.
Yang Lin didn't expect Tong Lianting to answer him, and after thinking about it for a while, Yang Lin finally nodded and said: Okay, let that master come in, my son is also very curious about the other party's intentions.
Be!
Tong Lianting agreed, then turned around and left in a hurry.
The bearded warrior was waiting outside, and when he saw Tong Lianting coming out, he immediately asked with a smile: "Master Tong, how is it, whether the son agrees to see the other party." ”
Tong Lianting bowed his head and said, "Go and bring that master over, Gongzi agrees with him." ”
Okay!
The bearded warrior immediately agreed, and then returned to the gate of the inn, and said to Zhang Wen, who was waiting here: "My son-in-law agrees with you, but you can only go in alone, and everyone else has to wait outside." ”
Zhang Wen naturally didn't dare to have an opinion, so he answered again and again, and then followed the bearded warrior into the inn.
Now the atmosphere of the inn is very serious, no one dares to make noise, even the people who are eating in the hall try to lower their voices, afraid of noisy Yang Lin who rests upstairs.
For Zhang Wen, a weak scholar with a crepe of letters, all the martial artists were very curious, and many people secretly guessed Zhang Wen's intentions.
To be honest, this group of subordinates under Yang Lin's command, because of the fact that they had just destroyed the Wudang Sect, caused their spirit and spirit to reach the top, and because they had killed too many people, each of them was extremely fierce, and dozens of people gathered together, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a very terrifying sight.
When Zhang Wen saw this kind of scene, he was immediately shocked, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore, lowered his head, and hurried forward.
Such a sloppy appearance made the warriors very disdainful, and when they looked at Zhang Wen, they didn't have good intentions.
Fortunately, no one dared to mess around, after all, Zhang Wen was able to walk into the inn, and he must have Yang Lin's consent, once anyone dared to be unfavorable to Zhang Wen, then it was slapping Yang Lin in the face, and no one dared to do so.
Zhang Wen went up to the second floor in fear, and only then did he realize that he was sweating profusely and his body was trembling slightly.
Tong Lianting glanced at Zhang Wen, and then ordered someone to search him carefully to see if this guy was hiding a weapon.
Zhang Wen was very cooperative, did not dare to move, and let the other party search.
After finding that there was no problem, Tong Lianting knocked on the door again, and after getting permission, he walked in with Zhang Wen.
Yang Lin was still lying on the wooden bed, not moving a moment, and he didn't plan to get up to greet the guests at all.
Zhang Wen didn't have that qualification at all in Yang Lin's eyes, and Yang Lin agreed to see him, which was already very face-saving.
At this time, Tong Lianting hugged his fists and reported: "Son, someone has been brought, he is Zhang Wen." ”
Zhang Wen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately saluted: "In the next Zhang Wen, I have seen a hero." ”
Hearing this, Yang Lin glanced at Zhang Wen, and then said lazily: "Say, what is the matter with your county order sending you here." ”
Zhang Wen tried his best to smile, presented the gift box with both hands, and then said: "My family learned that all the heroes have come to this county, and specially asked me to say hello, a small gift, please smile." ”
Yang Lin chuckled, he didn't expect that there was a gift box to receive, that Raushzi county order, is he quite good at being a person?
Yang Lin glanced at Tong Lianting on the side, who understood, stepped forward to take the box, and slowly opened it.
In the box is a white jade Guanyin, which is worth a lot of money at a glance.
"It's quite generous!"
When Yang Lin saw this scene, he couldn't help muttering to himself.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Lin put down the ancient book, sat up slowly, and said to Zhang Wen: "Your family is so generous, it seems that you must ask for something, let's talk about it, what are your intentions." ”
Zhang Wen hugged his fists and said: "We have absolutely no malice, this time, I just want to ask, why are you here here, is it really just passing by, or is there something else, if there is a place for us, my family will definitely not shirk." ”
