burning nations

Chapter 36

Without the suppression of the archers, it would be difficult for Batian Gang's killers to contribute much damage. With the joint efforts of internal and external forces, the battle ended quickly, and the surviving killers of Batian Gang escaped.

Zhu Wu came to the two survivors and asked cordially, "How are you two? Are you injured?"

Both of them replied politely: "Thank you, brother Zhu, for saving your life. We are both fine, but we are a little tired. Just take a rest."

"It's fine, I'm Zhu Wu, I don't know the surnames of the two Gaos."

"In Xia Xiangzhou, the Li family, Li Ying, and Li Dewu."

"In Lower Yuzhou, the Sun family's Sun Li Sun Zijun."

Zhu Wu was surprised: "The Li family in Xiangzhou? Then Li Yan and Li Gong belong to you."

"It's just a member of the same clan." Li Ying said lightly.

"Xiangzhou Zhu family, brother Zhu, you and Jiangnan Zhugong."

"Same, same race."

"Oh, that's so fateful!"

Zhang Cai listened to the conversation silently, and Zhang Cai heard the general meaning during the exchange.Li Yan in Hebei, like Zhu Tao in Jiangnan, is the target of the Donglin Party. Li Ying is a member of Li Yan's clan. Although Sun Li is not, his grandson's family has a thousand gold and married Li Yan's third brother Li Su. So it's not surprising that the two were attacked by the killers of the Batian Gang.Forget about Li Ying, Zhang Cai couldn't imagine that Sun Li could be affected, so what did Sun Li do with Li Yan?Just because Li Yan's younger brother took the grandson's daughter as his wife?I rely on!The Yi tribe is only the family of parents and wives, and the scope of the Donglin Party's revenge has surpassed the three tribes!
In other words, if Zhang Caixia married Zhu Wu, because Zhu Wu was a member of Zhu Tao's clan, the entire Zhang family in Qizhou could be killed!
What a frightening thing!
Li Ying and Sun Li were not together when they were attacked. They reported to the group to avoid the killer of the Batian gang. They were also able to appear in Ruzhou territory because they avoided the killer day and night.Obviously the Batian gang killers didn't let them go, otherwise they wouldn't have chased them all the way, surrounded them, and killed their guards.

"Since the two of you are also going to the Imperial Capital, you might as well go together." Zhu Wu extended a friendly helping hand.

"The three are also going to the Imperial Capital?" Sun Li asked suspiciously.

Zhu Wu took out the letter of recommendation: "Recommended by the governor of Mengzhou, I will enter the military academy for further study."

Li Yingwen was overjoyed: "What a coincidence! The two of us were also recommended by our respective states to study in military academies. This time we met and went to Beijing together, just in time to report before September."

Seeing that they wanted to continue the chat, Zhang Cai had no choice but to remind them: "Everyone, this is not a place to talk. It is very disgusting if the other party has a bow and arrow. You need to go back to the straight road as soon as possible, or enter Lushan County, and then take your time." comminicate."

"Also, you'd better change your clothes."

After a battle, everyone's clothes were stained with blood.

Before Zhu Wu could speak, Li Ying and Sun Li said in unison: "Your Excellency's words are very kind, we can't stay here for long."

"That's right, right and wrong can't stay for long!"

"Then change clothes and go on the road." Zhu Wu said, taking advantage of the gap, he grabbed Zhang Cai, "Girl, let me cover you for a while."

Zhang Cai said lightly: "Thank you very much."

Zhang Cai opened the package and looked at the only men's clothing that was changed. It was a bit trendy and she couldn't wear it.

--------------

As soon as the camera turned, Song Xian, Deng Tong, and Ma Ji led the remaining killers for hundreds of miles in embarrassment before stopping.

Deng Tong scolded his mother directly: "Then Zhu Wu eats kidney treasure?! So fierce! Killed so many of our brothers, I swear to avenge this!"

"Okay, old Deng, save your energy and don't scold. We should think about how to explain when we go back." Song Xian sighed, "We chased and killed Li Ying and Sun Li. We lost more than 200 brothers, and now we have lost nearly a hundred brothers. He also caught up with Brother Ge Biao, the leader must know that he will definitely blame him!"

Monkey said: "We can't go back to see the leader like this, we have to make up for it!"

"Let's say that there are more than 300 people and 160 archers. There are only 5 of them. If you don't believe it, you can't kill them!"

"But do we still have a chance to make a move?" Song Xian said, "Leaving the border of Lushan and Longxing, go to Zhoucheng and Linru. There are few mountains and forests, and many plains and fields. If we do anything, the government will be alarmed. Get away and you'll be in big trouble!"

"Then let's lie down on the road from Lushan to Longxing." Deng Tong was also unwilling, "When did our Batian Gang suffer such a big loss? We have to avenge the dead brothers!"

"That's right, revenge!" Monkey shouted.

Song Xian couldn't help it, so he had to re-investigate the movements of Zhang Cai's five people with the two of them, check the available terrain, and prepare for an ambush.

Little did they know that in the dark, a group of well-trained professional killers were looking at the backs of Song Xian, Deng Tong, and Ma Ji, showing ferocious smiles.

The two groups of people had their own things to do. In the afternoon, Zhang Cai took the initiative to find four people in the Lushan County Inn and asked about the matter.

"As expected, the killers of the Batian gang will not be reconciled. They will definitely set up a trap ahead for us to drill. I have two plans. One is to hurry up and be careful when there are many people and when to go, like seven or eight in the morning. At [-]:[-] p.m. or [-]:[-] p.m., if there are few people on the straight road, wait, but this is tantamount to "preventing thieves for a thousand days." The second is to lure snakes out of the hole, we do whatever we want, and fight when we encounter enemies, scaring them! But this has to consider the opponent's archer, even if the opponent uses a weak soft bow, we don't have armor, and we can't hold a few arrowheads into the body."

As soon as the words came out, Sun Li immediately affirmed: "Brother Zhang is right. Sun Li will not be afraid of him if he is killed, but bows and arrows are too uncomfortable. If there are no arrowheads, the 20 guards brought out from home will not be afraid of him." They will all die in battle."

Li Ying also said: "You can't hide from hiding. Since we are going to fight, we should prepare early, and we can't suffer another loss!"

Seeing that Li Ying and Sun Li both wanted to fight, Zhang Cai asked a crucial question: "How to block the bow and arrow?"

Li Ying and Sun Li hesitated immediately.

At this time, Zhu Wu spoke up and said: "In my opinion, right now the enemy is dark and we are clear. We have suffered too much. We can only endure this bad breath for the time being, and wait for future revenge."

Zhu Ting also said: "Our primary goal is to enter the Imperial Capital before September, so as not to miss the military academy for further study, and we can put the rest of the work later if we can, and we can't put the cart before the horse."

After they finished speaking, Zhang Cai looked at Li Ying and Sun Li again: "What are your opinions?"

What else could they do, they swallowed this breath helplessly.

"Brother Zhu is right, let's write down this account for now." Sun Li gritted his teeth and said, "When I come out of the military academy, I will find Batian to help Ge Batian and avenge my tribe!"

Zhang Cai and Zhu Wu looked at each other quietly, one sang a bad face and the other a red face, unifying the internal thinking, so what else?
Arrive at Longxing the next day and stay overnight.

But that night, Zhang Cai heard movement at the door, and she woke up instantly from a daze.

On the time when there was a passenger ship on the river, Zhang Cai was very energetic when she was out of the house. She saw her move to the window with the handle of the Xiuchun knife in her hand. .

"Are you looking for me?"

Zhang Cai turned around in fright, only to see a dark shadow on the chair in the room.

"Miss Zhang, I'm Shen Lian."

"Why do you know I'm in Longxing?" Zhang Cai was still on guard.

"I followed here from Xiangyang." Shen Lian said indifferently, "I follow your father-in-law's order to monitor you and bring you into the imperial capital if necessary."

Zhang Cai heard that his guard was even higher: "Let the masters of the six doors watch me, Mr. Liang Ji is really down to earth, this girl is really lucky!"

Shen Lian continued: "There is no need to be so prepared. I came here tonight just to let you know that you should arrive at the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, so that you don't keep Eunuch waiting. As for some bedbugs hiding in the dirty sewers, the six doors have done their duty. , girl, don't worry."

"You killed them?" Zhang Cai asked.

Shen Lian replied flatly: "They have never appeared in this world."

After speaking, the window slammed open, and a black shadow floated out of the window.

When Zhang Cai came back to her senses, the room was terribly quiet, and she closed the window silently.
