burning nations

Chapter 28
After staying for a few more days, the weather turned cold and it was running out of time. Zhang Cai wanted to return to Ezhou before winter, so he asked Zhu Wu to resign.

Naturally, Zhu Wu was reluctant, and Zhu Dian was also reluctant. There were many life-and-death acquaintances in the battle to destroy the temple, and as he was convinced of his strength, Zhu Dian accidentally knew that Zhang Cai's daughter was in person, and her attitude did not change.But the two brothers knew that the guest was leaving and could not force them to stay, so they donated money and sent Zhang Cai out of Xiangzhou to Fancheng, hoping that Zhang Cai would have time to return to Xiangzhou to see them.

Zhang Cai waved his hand and said goodbye, and played in the land of Suiying. After careful identification of the time, he went to Anzhou leisurely, climbed Peiwei Mountain, stepped on Baizhao Mountain, and took a boat to Anlu, the city of Anzhou. At the same time, There is a group of people who do not welcome Zhang Cai.

In Yunmeng County, Anzhou, Huainan Road, in the underground secret meeting room of a business hall, in the center of a copper basin of a certain age was burning extremely vigorously, illuminating the dark underground as if it were daytime. The copper basin was 3 meters high and weighed Qianjin, the image of the demon king engraved on it is lifelike, as if it indicates that this demon fire will dominate the underground evil forces of the Zaku Empire.

There are a group of people standing on the left and right sides of the huge brazier, with a total of 20 people in the two groups; in front of the brazier is a high platform with five steps, and a tiger-skin seat is sitting on a tiger-skin seat. The middle-aged man with cardboard, his sinister gaze swept over everyone, making everyone shudder.

This is the headquarters of the Anzhou Salt Gang. Standing on the left and right shifts is the head of the 20th Hall of the Salt Gang, the top master in the gang; sitting on the tiger leather seat is the owner of the Anzhou Salt Gang, who is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Gangster Shen Yiqi.

If you compare the Xian Gang with the Salt Gang, whether it's the gang or the leader, whether it's the Xian Gang or Zhuo Sanmu, they're all shit!What is fiber?Organized by the trackers, Zhuo Sanmu is also a man who obtained capital by squeezing the trackers and then established a mountain spring village to cultivate and absorb killers. Compared with the Salt Gang, he is simply a good man among good people!
Shen Yiqi was a gangster in his early years, leading a group of people to make a living by robbing houses.It was later that the Salt Gang was gradually established after capital was accumulated.

You can tell just by looking at the business. At least there are trackers in the fiber gang. What about the salt gang?What a private salt dealer who licks blood with a knife!
The 20 halls of the Salt Gang do not hold meetings every time.And as long as Shen Yiqiu came to hold a meeting, it would be a big deal!

At this moment, Shen Yiqi lazily said on the tiger leather seat: "Reporter, the man surnamed Zhang who made Zhuo Sanmu lose 4 masters in a row has entered the territory of my Salt Gang?"

As Zhu Wu said, if you can't beat things in the world, you can stick together, but don't even think about keeping secrets, especially things that are embarrassing.In the battle of destroying the temple, the deeds of Zhang Cai beheading three people in a row (Deng Biandao was counted on Zhang Cai's head) have been spread everywhere.

As soon as the words fell, Long Tian, ​​the head of the next hall, came out of the shift and said: "Leader, the man surnamed Zhang entered the boundary of Anzhou 3 days ago, climbed Peiwei Mountain and Baizhao Mountain respectively, and entered Anlu City by boat this morning. It’s the No. 20 boat of my Salt Gang.”

After all, the No.20 hall master, Tsurukoya, came out of the shift and said, "I want to report to the leader, what the elder brother said is that he knows what inn he is doing at the moment!"

Shen Yiqi was puzzled when he heard the words: "Didn't he find you?"

Long Tianhe affirmed: "No!"

"Oh, idiot!" Shen Yiqi snickered, "This kind of person can kill the four masters of Zhuo Sanmu? Shanquanzhuang is nothing more than that! Find a chance to kill him!"

The master of the second hall said fiercely: "Then you have to hurry up, lest you be robbed by the shoe upper!"

Shen Yiqi said contemptuously: "The shoe upper is also a litter of trash, there is no danger! If you dare to pierce the shoe upper, Jin Jiuwu will be wiped out as well!"

Long Tian reminded: "The leader, this one named Zhang"

Shen Yiqi wrote lightly: "Take the head of this idiot first, and hit Zhuo Sanmu in the face. You and the crane will settle it."

Long Tianhe immediately clasped his fists to agree.

Two or three days later, at the inn in Anlu City, Zhang Cai packed his bags and settled the rent. He glanced at the idiots who were being followed by the Yan Gang, and directly ignored going out of the city to Xiaochang. He planned to go to Huangzhou via Xiaochang. If you have time, you might as well take a look Dabie Mountains and Huoshan Mountains.

As soon as she left on the front foot, Long Tian and He Xiang each brought five people to chase after her.The reason for waiting until now is nothing more than killing people and burying them in the wilderness.

Zhang Cai is not worried about the killer of the Salt Gang. There is no way, Zhang Cai has already drifted away in the Battle of the Temple. If there were not so many people and a sense of fear, Zhang Cai would have underestimated the enemy.

Walking and stopping all the way, until noon in the sun, Zhang Cai saw a restaurant next to the official road, and counted the three flags. On the side of the road, he saw a woman cooking in a pot, and there were laborers and workers beside him. Vendors, even officials eat at his house, so Zhang Cai will deal with it.

Regardless of the small size of the store, the hospitality of the waiter in the store is not bad. If you reward 2 dinars, that is really offering Zhang Cai as an ancestor, so find a nice seat.

As for the money, Zhu Wu did not give less.

Zhang Cai ordered casually, a bowl of rice with soy sauce, a stack of side dishes, and a plate of pure rye bread. The portion is large and affordable, and the food is quite full, but the rice is a bit salty, but there is no way, eating here is all hard work, lacking Salt.In addition, the Salt Gang is an underworld force, but Shen Yiqi knows that if he wants to have a foothold, he can't offend everyone, and private salt in Anzhou is very cheap.

After eating enough and gaining strength, Zhang Cai just saw the guy who had been playing with him all the time, and Zhang Cai said happily, "Dude, settle the score!"

The guy agreed and ran over.

The shop waiter ran over and said, "Guest officer, there are 10 copper coins in total."

Zhang Cai took out a dinar from his pocket and flicked it into the second-hand store: "Here are some fried rice, I want to take it away, your rice is too salty, remember to put less salt."

Before the words fell, Long Tian and He Xiang walked over slowly with 10 subordinates. In a blink of an eye, they surrounded Zhang Cai's seat, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Cai.

At this moment, Zhang Cai smiled, and knocked on the table with her plain hands.

But the waiter in the shop did not have such a good psychological quality. Frightened by the murderous aura, he stammered: "Who, how many, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Zhang Cai's psychological quality is so good, Long Tian laughed along with him.

So He went forward and patted the waiter on the shoulder, pointed back and said, "Go, he doesn't need fried rice anymore."

The waiter didn't understand, and stood there in a daze.

Crane got angry all of a sudden, why don't you give me face? "Did you hear what I said?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guy turned around and ran back.

Zhang Cai then said coldly: "Everyone, what's the matter?"

This time Long Tian said: "Boy, stand up and come with us."

Zhang Caihe laughed and said, "You belong to the Salt Gang, right? People who want to come to the Xian Gang don't dare to find trouble in the border of Anzhou."

Long Tiandao: "Are you smart? Maybe you are suppressing your trembling, but no matter what, come with us!"

Zhang Cai didn't move: "Can I ask, why did I go with you?"

Long Tian sneered: "I'll just say it once, let's go!"

Zhang Cainu pouted: "Then there are a few officials, are you going to kidnap here blatantly?"

Long Tian sneered: "Can I understand that you are waiting for someone from the government to rescue you?"

"Oh, the government?" Zhang Cai also showed a sneer, pointed behind him and said, "Here we come."

Before the words fell, the owner of the shop and five or six official servants who had dinner, led by the staff, came rushing with water and fire sticks in their hands, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to act wild on my old horse's territory? Break your dog legs!" !"

The shop owner had a flattering face, which showed that the protection fee was paid a lot.

The crane beside him also showed a sneer on his face, and winked at the subordinates beside him.It was too late, but soon, the two killers jumped back, and after a crackling, the officials flew out, smashed the table and fell to the ground, and the wailing sounded one after another.

The proprietress screamed, her face turned pale; the shop owner and the shop waiter were even more frightened and trembled.

Long Tian didn't turn his head and said to Zhang Cai: "How about it, do you want to go with me?"

Zhang Cai looked at the postmen on the ground and said with a sneer, "That's it? Your killers are no better than those of the Xian Gang."

Long Tianwenyu frowned: "What did you say?!"

"You are also a pack of dogs."

As soon as the voice fell, Long Tian fell silent, and randomly burst out laughing.

After laughing, he got up and left the table, waved his hands, and the two men who had just shot to injure the officer made a loud noise, and the two steel knives were drawn out of their sheaths almost at the same time, a cold light flashed, and they went straight to stab Zhang Cai's chest.

Zhang Cai sneered, raised his toes lightly, and the table in front of him immediately stood up, and the knife stabbed on the table twice.Zhang Cai patted the table with his hand, and the table landed on all fours very obediently. When he returned to the original place, the two knives of the two stood on the table, shaking constantly.

Everyone was stunned.

The two killers looked at their hands and Zhang Cai with their mouths wide open, Long Tian and He Xiang were even more astonished.

I saw Zhang Cai slapped the table again, and the two knives flew into the air. She took them with both hands, and jumped up, and the two knives turned into a cloud of cold mist. He fell to the ground clutching his right wrist.

Zhang Cai's knife is faster!
"I believe the Salt Gang will support these ten trash." Zhang Cai said with a light smile.

At this moment, the hotel people have run away.

Crane Xiang was furious and said "court death"!The sword was unsheathed, and the cold light flashed, and it came straight to Zhang Cai's throat.Zhang Cai flipped the steel knife in his hand to block it, and with a clang, the crane deviated from the direction of the long sword.Seeing this, He Xiang turned around like lightning unwillingly, and pierced Zhang Cai's heart with the long sword in his hand.

Zhang Cai flicked the knife in his hand, slashing and striking the sword to the side.The crane took a step back and forth, and the long sword turned back suddenly and flatly, stabbing Zhang Cai's throat like a poisonous snake.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" Zhang Cai couldn't help but praise, in the voice, she jumped up, and the steel knife wrapped the long sword in it like a net of light. After a few clangs, the two of them each took two steps back, and fought back On the ground, a haze of light appeared from the sword.

Suddenly, there was a clang sound from the mist, and the two jumped up and backed away.The knife picked up in Zhang Cai's palm snapped, but He Xiang didn't show any expression on his face.Long Tianzheng was wondering, at this moment, he only heard a brushing sound, and the lotus leaf hat that Crane was wearing on his head was split from the middle, and blood flowed down from Crane's head.

Crane Xiang immediately looked up and fell down.

Zhang Cai threw down the broken knife in his hand, and did not forget to comment: "Good! Very good! Good work! It's a pity."

At this moment, Long Tian looked at Wang Hexiang's corpse, and then at the corpses of the ten subordinates around him, his expression became serious.
Long Tian was alone, and he was caught in a dilemma.
