The last three kingdoms

Chapter 84 See Through
Everyone turned their heads to look, but they saw dozens of fast horses galloping from the direction of Nanzheng, the leader was slightly fatter, sitting firmly on the horse's back, with a green horse under his crotch, four The hoofs flew like flying, stirring up countless dust and smoke, and the shouting stopped. The man had already rushed to the front of the checkpoint, and jumped off the horse with a swipe. Although he was fat, his movements were extremely agile, without any sense of lag .

"Who is your Excellency?" Na Shichang asked politely, seeing that the fat man looked good.

The fat man sneered, took out a token from his bosom, raised it into the air and said, "That's true for Zhang Le, the captain of Zuofu of Zhongwei's mansion."

Chief Nashi has also apparently received the order from the Hanzhong Dudu Mansion, and all checkpoints will be under the unified command of the lieutenant's mansion. He has never been under the control of other departments, but what is the reason for the Governor's Mansion to issue such an order? It is not something he can question, so he hastened to salute and said: "Please see the captain."

Zhang Le took back the token and said, "You are in charge of the Dujiaping guard?"

Na Shichang hurriedly said: "The commander of the guard station is originally Qin Dubo. A few days ago he was on leave due to illness, so the villain acted as his agent."

"You must have read the decree of the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion. From now on, the Dujiaping Guard will be taken over by the people from the Lieutenant's Mansion. You just need to help defend."

"No. The villain has given you an order. If you have something to do, you can just give orders." Nashi Chief said respectfully.

Zhang Le squinted at the woodcutter, and said displeasedly: "What's going on? Didn't the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion have already issued an order that all checkpoints are prohibited?"

The long cold sweat couldn't help but flowed down the ground. According to military regulations, he was indeed favoritism, but he only sympathized with the woodcutter's situation. In fact, he didn't know the woodcutter or accepted him. bribe.He hastened to explain: "My lord, this woodcutter is a local, he cuts firewood for a living, but because his mother is seriously ill and urgently needs to be treated with medicine, so the villain let him go. But the villain can guarantee that he is definitely not a spy of Wei State? "

"You guarantee that he is not a spy, do you know him?" Zhang Le said.

"I don't know the villain." Na Shichang shook his head anxiously.

Zhang Le sneered and said: "Then why do you guarantee that he is not a spy?"

"This..." Na Shichang couldn't help being speechless. He really couldn't find any suitable reason. The reason why he decided to let go just now was the tearful complaint of the woodcutter that caused him to overflow with sympathy. To be honest, everyone The words are all the woodcutter's one-sided words, and Na Shichang really doesn't know why he trusts him so much.

Zhang Le shifted his gaze to the woodcutter, looked him up and down, and said with a cold snort, "Are you a local woodcutter? Where do you live? Who else is there?"

The firewood cutter said calmly: "The villain lives in Qinglong Mountain, ten miles away from here. He collects firewood all day for a living. There is only an old mother who is over [-] years old. She is seriously ill. I am waiting for the villain to take medicine and go home for treatment. Please forgive me." , Let the villain go home and save the mother."

Zhang Le narrowed his eyes into a slit, and said calmly: "What disease is your mother suffering from? And that drugstore got this medicine from?"

The woodcutter hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yesterday before the villain went out, my mother had vomiting and diarrhea, and she was unconscious. The villain doesn't know medicine, so I can only chop a load and sell it in the city, and get a few copper coins." Grabbed two batches of medicine from the Huichuntang Medical Center, and prepared to go home to treat my mother."

"Bring me the medicine."

The woodcutter seemed a little reluctant, but he was afraid of Zhang Le, so he had to hand him the medicine bag.

Zhang Le opened the medicine bag, which was full of various traditional Chinese medicines such as flowers, plants and tree bark. Zhang Le had never studied medicine, so naturally he knew nothing about these traditional Chinese medicines, but he looked sideways at the woodcutter as he flipped through the medicinal materials. .

After a while, Zhang Le handed the medicine bag back to him, saying: "It's rare that you are so filial, go home."

The woodcutter was overjoyed, thanked him a thousand times, packed up his things, carried a pole, turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Le's hand was like lightning, and he grabbed his pole with one stroke. The firewood cutter was shocked, and turned around and said, "My lord, you..."

Zhang Le held the shoulder pole tightly with his left hand, and quickly flicked his right index finger on the shoulder pole. There was a "dong" sound, and the echo echoed. It was obvious that the pole was hollow inside.

The woodcutters in the mountains use no more than two kinds of poles, one is made of bamboo and the other is made of wood, but any pole is solid, so that it is strong and strong, and it cannot be hollow anyway. of.

Zhang Le knocked and found that the pole was hollow. Suddenly, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he said: "This pole is very weird, keep it for fun."

Immediately, the woodcutter's face was full of vigor, and with a flash of murderous intent, he raised his hand and punched Zhang Le's chest.

Zhang Le had been prepared for a long time. Although the woodcutter punched fiercely, he avoided the sharp punch by shrinking back. He chopped towards the woodcutter.

Since Zhang Le held on to the pole tightly and did not let go, the woodcutter obviously did not want to hand over the pole to others, and he also held onto the other end tightly. Zhang Le slashed at the pole, but the woodcutter was obviously too late Pulling out a hatchet from his waist to meet him, he could only hold the shoulder pole to block Zhang Le's knife.

Zhang Le's saber is a 72 steel smelting knife made by the third workshop according to Pu Yuan's craftsmanship, and it is mixed with black iron, which is much sharper than ordinary steel knives. It is an exaggeration to say that cutting iron like mud, But to cut a shoulder pole is almost equivalent to cutting a piece of tofu, and the one-foot-long pole was broken in two from the middle.

As soon as the pole was broken, something was pulled out from the pole, obviously a roll of silk.

In ancient times, there were pictures of poor daggers, but now there are pictures of folded shoulder poles!

Zhang Lehe sneered.

The woodcutter's face turned ashen immediately, but he was extremely agile, and the place where the roll of silk fell was very close to him, so he bent over to pick it up, turned and ran towards the cliff on the right.

On the left side of the checkpoint is the river valley, and in front of it is a high fence blocking the way. The woodcutter, whose identity was exposed, was unwilling to be caught without a fight, so he could only choose to rush towards the cliff on the right.Although the cliff is not high, within a few feet there are all upright cliffs.It can be seen that the woodcutter is a well-trained expert, and he climbed the cliff several feet high with bare hands.

"Want to run?" Zhang Le sneered, and said, "Li Er, go back quickly and inform Lord You Cheng that you found traces of spies at the Chen Cang crossing. The rest of you, follow me!"
