Chapter 130 Variables
At this moment, Zhang Goulv was lying in the west wing on the second floor, staring at the beams in a daze. He missed the days in the mountains a little bit.
In the mountains, although it was hard, I felt very energetic. Just watching the old brothers perform exercises every day was a happy thing. But since he became a traitor, everything he did felt empty. Yes, he now got what he had dreamed of in the past. Not only did he have meat to eat every meal, but he also wore gauze clothes that only Zhang Tiehu had.
But with all this, Zhang Goulv realized that it was better to move on. Just like the cloth shoes I'm wearing now, they feel soft on the ground and don't feel comfortable at all. It's better to wear straw sandals. Although they hurt your feet, they are practical.
Therefore, later Zhang Goulv and his disciples asked for a pair of straw sandals. He knew that those disciples must be laughing at him. But how could they understand what Zhang Gouduo was thinking.
Zhang Goulv, who was lying on the bed, sighed once again that it was better to get over it, because with Qu Kui around, he would be at ease no matter what.
At this time, Zhang Goudu's melancholy was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Zhang Goulv asked impatiently:
"Who?"
Reply outside the door:
"Back to Mr. Xun, the beef is here."
Zhang Goulv stood up slowly and opened the door.
Seeing that the disciples who had just accompanied him were standing outside, Zhang Goudu let the two of them in.
After the two disciples had put away the meat and were about to exit the door, the dog and donkey stopped them and said:
"You guys should come and eat together."
The two disciples looked at each other and said softly:
"Mr. Lang, you don't dare to do this. This beef is not for people like us."
Zhang Goudu was annoyed and said:
"What kind of people are you two? We are both human beings. Eat."
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhang Goulv was stunned. Why did these words sound so similar to what Qu Kui said.
The two disciples over there were really greedy. After hearing what Zhang Goudu said, they refused to refuse. They followed the example of the nobles, knelt down on the mat, carefully tore off a piece of beef and held it in the palm of their hands.
They smelled and smelled, and when they saw that Zhang Gougong really wanted to feed them, they took a careful lick, then bit off a piece of meat and started chewing.
But the teeth of these disciples were almost lost and they couldn't bite at all. In fact, they just felt a fishy smell rushing into their brains, couldn't hold it back, and vomited.
Zhang Goulv laughed out loud when he saw how cowardly these two people were. Then he picked up a piece of beef from the basin and started chewing it. Not to mention, eating it in front of these two people made the meat even more fragrant.
The two disciples, Tu Li, looked gloomy. Sure enough, what the nobles eat is not something they can eat.
Seeing that these two people were really bored, Zhang Goulv sent them out. Hey, Qu Kui, Qu Kui, you are wrong after all. These disciples are like pigs and dogs. Are they really human beings like us?
After that, Zhang Goulv carefully ate his last meal of the day.
"Boom, boom. Boom"
At this moment, the door sounded again.
Zhang Goulv pushed the basin and opened the door angrily. Just as he was about to complain, he saw a person standing in front of the door and froze immediately.
This person is the person who has been appearing in his dreams these days, Qu Kui, Zhang Chong.
At this moment, Zhang Chong also looked at Zhang Goudu with complicated thoughts, but in the end he still had no words. He just sighed and asked:
"Please let me come in and have a seat."
These words broke Zhang Goudu's stiffness. He came back to his senses. At first he wanted to run away, but he also wanted to confide in Zhang Chong. He was like a child caught by the wrong parents, at a loss.
In the end, Zhang Chong put his arms around Zhang Goudu's neck and forced him inside.
Zhang Goudu, who was sitting curled up on the straw mat, stammered under Zhang Chong's gaze:
"Qu, Qu Kui, I didn't betray everyone. Really"
Zhang Chong didn't say anything, just hummed from his mouth.
Zhang Goulv suddenly started to cry, he collapsed and said:
"Qu, I am just an ordinary person with no big ambitions. In fact, I really want to follow Qu Kui. I feel at ease when someone makes the decision for me. But I am really afraid of pain. Zhang Wu died before When the time came, I wanted to go home, but I was afraid that the boss would scold me and say I was a coward. Yes, I was also afraid that Zhang Dan and the others would say that I was afraid of death, so I kept holding off until I entered Dongpingling some time ago and was captured by a group of officers and soldiers. They forced me to tell me about our situation in Mount Tai, and I told them everything. . But I really didn’t sell our old brothers.”
Zhang Chong suddenly slapped Zhang Goudu, knocking out Zhang Goudu's back molar. Zhang Chong cursed:
"You didn't sell our old brothers? Then you sold those poor disciples. Why do they deserve it? Just because you want to live? Do they deserve to die?"
Zhang Goudu was dizzy from the whipping, but he still endured it because he was speechless because of what Zhang Chong said. Then, Zhang Chong said:
"Actually, you told me at that time that I would let you go. But things have become like this. I have to give an explanation to the Taishan Army, and I have to give an explanation to Shigushan. You and I go back to the mountain. If you die in front of the old brothers, I can't stand you."
Zhang Goulv lowered his head and remained silent. He didn't want to die. If he wanted to die, why would he become a traitor? But in front of Zhang Chong, he knew that he had no room for resistance.
Just when Zhang Goulv was about to accept his fate, bursts of rockets suddenly shot out and stuck outside the house. Zhang Chong turned over, grabbed a table and stood in front of him and Goudu.
Fortunately, Zhang Chong reacted quickly, otherwise the dog and donkey would have died on the spot. As soon as he set up the desk, a rocket was inserted into the desk quickly and accurately.
Zhang Chong pressed the dog's body down again, hid him behind the desk, and then cursed:
"You and those people are plotting against me?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Gouduo was swaying and shaking his head:
"No, it's not me. I really didn't betray anyone."
It was okay to say it once, but Zhang Goudu kept talking. Zhang Chong saw that the dog was a little crazy, so he gave him two ear scrapers to wake him up.
After that, Zhang Chong went to the window with his desk in his hand and looked downstairs. He saw more than twenty archers downstairs. The three Dongpingling believers who had stayed downstairs were now covered in arrows and died on the floor. foot.
This was the plan arranged by Xun Yu, using Zhang Dog and Donkey as bait to capture and kill the Taishan bandit forces in the city.
After Zhang Goulv was placed in the northeast building of the post house, Xun Yu arranged for someone to be in the opposite building to monitor the activities of Goudv's house around the clock.
And when a stranger broke into Zhang Gou Donkey's house, and Gou Donkey knelt there crying bitterly, the watching county officials knew that the big fish was coming.
Then, the county officials gave a signal, and the county soldiers who had been waiting pushed carts, set up trees and fences, and blocked all the roads around the post house. Then the soldiers swarmed into the post house and their shouts moved the ground.
The twenty Taoist priests who had been arranged in the southwest building of the post house rushed out according to the plan and shot directly at the second floor where Zhang Goudu was.
Xun Yu has his destiny, so shoot him to death.
Originally Xun Yu's plan was perfect, that is, as soon as the monitoring county officials gave a signal, the county soldiers outside the street and the Taoist priests lurking in the posthouse would act at the same time. The former blocked the road, and the latter fired arrows to mark the location for the county soldiers outside. Finally, as soon as the soldiers arrived, they surrounded and killed them with all their strength.
But things encountered variables at the beginning. The variable was the banquet going on in the inn in front.
The sudden influx of the county soldiers' clamor naturally interrupted the banquet in the front hall of the post house. Several celebrities from Dongpingling were angry and ordered their retainers to take their famous assassins and tell the soldiers to get out.
The soldiers are all scoundrels, so how can they dare to collide with these nobles? Therefore, only a few retainers with famous assassins were able to block the county soldiers outside the inn with great force, and no one of the soldiers dared to charge.
If Yin Li was still in the team, he would have captured these disciples long ago. But Yin Li is not here, and what is even more embarrassing is that he is still squatting in the prison temple, living in danger.
The reason is that when Yin Li arrested the Shigushan spy in the West City that day, the person he shot at random turned out to be the disciple of Gao Zong, the distinguished Cao Cao of Dongpingling State. At this time, Yin Li got into trouble, and was immediately taken away by Gao Zong and his subordinates, and thrown into the prison temple. But Xun Yu did not stand up to protect him.
Therefore, it was Xun Yu's mistake that created the current situation.
However, even if the soldiers from the surrounding counties were blocked, Zhang Chong's situation was still dangerous. At this moment, the twenty Taoist priests downstairs kept firing arrows downstairs, and Zhang Chong was suppressed and could not even lift his head. He had no armor and did not dare to use his own flesh and blood to block other people's rockets. He could only resist after a few moments.
But the fire arrows on the table became more and more dense, and the table was about to catch fire at the sight of it. Zhang Chong gritted his teeth, blew out the candles on both sides of the room, and then fell under the couch with Zhang Goudu in his arms.
At this moment, Zhang Goulv was completely stupid and was still mumbling, completely becoming a burden to Zhang Chong.
The two of them were hiding under the couch when suddenly bursts of wailing came from downstairs, and then they heard shouting from below:
"Qu, let's leave quickly."
When Zhang Chong heard it, it was his two generals, Cai Que and Guo Zu.
Without any doubts, he carried Zhang Goudu behind his back, and then jumped down from the second floor. As soon as he landed, he saw the twenty Taoist priests who were still showing off their evil intent lying dead downstairs.
Cai Que, Guo Zu and four other believers pretending to be soldiers of Dongpingling County saw Zhang Chong jumping from the building and immediately rushed over to protect Zhang Chong as he walked to the north.
Over the north wall, there is an alley facing the street. Ji Sun and others have put four horses there.
Over there, Xun Yu had already rushed in with another group of soldiers. This time, the guests and slaves were no longer able to stop him, and were all whipped to the ground by Xun Yu's guards.
When Xun Yu came running with his troops, he saw several people climbing out from the north wall. He was so angry that he threw his whip to the ground.
There were two warriors behind him who were eager to perform meritorious deeds. Following the thieves, they also climbed up the wall and were about to jump off. Two short halberds were thrown out of the darkness over there, and they were directly pierced into their heads, and one fell to the ground on the left and the other on the right.
Seeing this tragic scene, all the county soldiers behind Xun Yu took a deep breath and retreated, not daring to pursue him again.
And Zhang Chong and others over there were not out of danger. When they landed, they found that the horses originally tied to the horse posts were gone.
It's over now.
