Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 142
After running fast for half an hour, Zhao Yong's figure was not found, and Zhao Wuming couldn't help feeling a little ominous in his heart.Subconsciously pulling the reins, dozens of guards behind him also stopped the horse.I looked up and looked around, and I was a little surprised when I saw that there were divergences everywhere.Maybe he went in the wrong direction, so he failed to see Zhao Yong.

The bushes shook suddenly, Zhao Wuming thought of the attack in the suburbs, so he put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Roar……".A fierce tiger emerged from the grass, making a gesture of guard against these uninvited guests.

At this moment, another fierce tiger appeared in the grass, staring at them firmly.

Looking at the two fierce tigers, Zhao Wuming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't an ambush.Thinking of this, he let go of the hilt of the sword and picked up the bow hanging on the horse's back, and then drew out the arrow.Last year's safari, the scene of hunting a tiger came to mind.

Thinking back to when Sun Buer fought the tiger bravely, if he hadn't shot the tiger in the eye with a bow and arrow, he might not have been able to wait for reinforcements, and he would have become a dead bone.

The two tigers saw Zhao Wuming take out the bow and arrow, and saw him hesitate.Relying on instinct, he judged that this was a good opportunity, and then jumped towards Zhao Wuming.

Seeing the tiger pounced on the horse, the war horse panicked, and Zhao Wuming was accidentally thrown onto the horse's back.

Seeing that he was about to be attacked by a tiger, Zhao Wuming rolled several times subconsciously, narrowly avoiding it.

Dozens of guards sat on the horses and saw that the tiger had come to the front, and they ran around uncontrollably one by one.

For a moment, dozens of personal guards had no time to get off their horses to rescue them, and they were in a panic.

Zhao Wuming quickly got up from the ground, drew out the bronze sword on his waist, and looked at the two tigers vigilantly.Knowing that it is useless to run away at this time, the only way to escape the crisis is to wait for dozens of personal guards to appease the war horse.

"Roar……".A fierce tiger stared at Zhao Wuming, and suddenly roared, as if to attract his attention.

Hearing the roar, Zhao Wuming instinctively looked at the tiger.

At this moment, the other tiger seemed to understand what its companion meant, and while Zhao Wuming was looking over, it leapt forward again with its bloody mouth open.

Zhao Wuming didn't have time to react, he panicked and froze for a moment.

"Get out of the way".A roar sounded from the grass on the other side, followed by the sound of piercing through the air.

An arrow shot at the tiger with the sound of piercing through the air, the tiger turned pale in fright and quickly dodged, only then did Zhao Wuming escape.

The roaring tiger immediately turned around and rushed towards the grass.

A middle-aged strong man in coarse cloth came out with a thick wooden stick.He didn't panic when he saw the tiger rushing towards him with his mouth wide open, he picked up the wooden stick and swung it fiercely.

The tiger didn't have time to scream, it was knocked flying and fell to the ground.Without waiting for the tiger to react, the big man raised the wooden stick in his hand and swung it several times in a row.

Seeing that its companion was invincible, the other tiger abandoned Zhao Wuming and rushed towards the strong man.

The strong man had no time to react, and his arm was accidentally scratched by the tiger.

Dozens of personal guards finally appeased the horses, picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the two tigers.

Arrows fell like rain all of a sudden, and the two fierce tigers were covered with arrows, and then fell down in a pool of blood with a mournful cry.

The strong man clutched his wound, blood dripping from his fingers onto the ground.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuming scratched the corner of his clothes with the bronze sword in his hand, and scratched a piece of cloth from the brocade robe.

Holding the cloth in his hand, he went to the strong man to bandage his wound.

The wound was wrapped and the bleeding was stopped.The strong man cupped his fists and saluted Zhao Wuming: "Thank you."

"If you want to say thank you, it should be me thanking you. The grace of saving my life is unforgettable."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he bowed to the strong man.

The strong man was a little panicked, and seemed a little at a loss: "I can see that you are a rich man with the clothes you wear. I am really sorry that you broke a brocade robe for dressing up the wounds of me, a poor people. This time I was hiding in the forest for two days. It was just to hunt and kill these two fierce tigers as financial capital, as for the grace of saving lives, I would never dare to take it."

"Discount? But what's the problem at home?"Zhao Wuming asked subconsciously.

The strong man smiled wryly: "Home? Where is my home when I'm empty?"

"Where are your parents, wife and children?"Zhao Wuming frowned slightly, his eyes full of puzzlement.Dozens of personal guards had already dismounted and stood silently behind Zhao Wuming.

Although it is a sad thing, after all, it is not taboo after many years.The strong man just saw Zhao Wuming swinging the bronze sword without hesitation, scratching a piece from the brocade robe to bandage his own wound, and he had a good impression of him in his heart.Traveling all over the years, I have seen a lot of villains who bully men and women.But looking at the actions of the person in front of me, it is also rare to see: "To be honest, I am a villager in the northernmost village of Bendai County. I asked my parents and a matchmaker to go to the home of my beloved one 11 years ago. Engaged in marriage. I thought that after a year, we would be able to get married smoothly. Unexpectedly, on the day of the marriage, Lou Fan went south, his parents were killed, and his wife was robbed. All the old people, children and young adults in the village fell down. In a pool of blood. Because of my brute force and being in chaos, I was lucky enough to survive. Later, the Dai County Guards came to count the survivors, and I was the only one who survived. All the men were killed, and the women were killed. I was looted by them, and the only property in the village was gone. At the beginning, I begged the general who led the army to avenge the people in our village and save my wife and the women who were looted. But it was the cynicism of the general. My heart was dead, and I spent four years alone in lurking in Lou Fan to inquire about the news. But I found that the power was weak, and strength alone could not take revenge. After that, I traveled around the world for the next six years, intending to visit famous teachers to learn martial arts , but was ridiculed by others. But I didn’t want God’s will to be unpredictable. I didn’t worship a famous teacher, but in the life-and-death struggles with wild beasts, I have the ability to hunt tigers. I made an oath a year ago, starting from Qin , Return to Zhao State and go to Daijun to pay respects to those relatives who died. If you go to Loufan, you will never come back alive unless your wife is rescued, and the woman who was plundered in the village is not rescued."

"So you are hunting tigers here, do you want to use these two tigers in exchange for money to go to Loufan?"Zhao Wuming wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only ask him.

The strong man took a deep breath, and then let it out.As if all these past events had been exhausted, his face gradually returned to calm: "Yes, but not all."

Zhao Wuming was a little puzzled, the strong man didn't speak, and walked directly to the bushes where the two tigers came out just now.

"Roar……".A deep roar came from the grass, and the cubs of the two tigers looked at the strong man warily.

Hearing the deep roar, Zhao Wuming was startled and walked in the direction of the strong man with his bodyguard.

Seeing a group of people approaching, the two tiger cubs trembled in despair.

The strong man looked at the brocade robe on Zhao Wuming's body, and pointed to the two cubs: "Because I made your brocade robe incomplete, the poor have nothing to repay. I can only give you these two cubs as a gift. Good Raising, rich and powerful families have them to take care of their homes, so they can feel a little more at ease."

"Since these two cubs are considered as compensation for Jinpao, then I have to repay your life-saving grace."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he touched his waist, and a jade pendant was taken off.

There is only one Chinese character on the jade pendant, Zhao Wuming was taken aback, as if thinking of something.A heart couldn't help but beat violently: "You just said that you have been lurking in Lou Fan for four years."

"Precisely, in the past four years, I have a clear understanding of the topography of the distance from Daijun to the capital of Loufan."The strong man looked at Zhao Wuming puzzled, not knowing why he asked these questions.

Zhao Wuming's heart instantly calmed down, and a trace of disappointment spread.It seems that I still think too much. It would be great if I knew all the terrain of Loufan.Thinking of this, I handed the jade pendant to the strong man: "This jade pendant is a token. If you meet a caravan with the same banner as the words on this jade pendant, you can seek their help."

"Is this a token of your family? Does your family have a caravan doing business with Lou Fan?"The strong man didn't take the jade pendant immediately, but looked at Zhao Wuming carefully.

Zhao Wuming was taken aback by him, and thought for a while: "A person is weak in Loufan, if you can find help in Loufan, then your hope of rescuing your wife and the girls in the village will be a little higher." .

"Sure enough, the rich and nobles don't have a good thing. I thought you were different from the rest. It seems that I misjudged you."The strong man's eyes suddenly turned red, and he yelled at Zhao Wuming furiously: "Take back your stolen goods, I and other poor people can't bear it."

"presumptuous".Dozens of personal guards were furious when they saw the brawny man being rude.All of a sudden there was the sound of drawing a sword, if he hadn't been worried that he had just saved Zhao Wuming's life, he would have stabbed him long ago.

The strong man glared at the dozens of guards, without any timidity, and held the thick wooden stick firmly regardless of the wound: "Why should I be afraid of the minions of the rich and powerful?"

"stop".Zhao Wuming quickly stopped drinking, and the guards drew back their swords one after another.

The strong man didn't appreciate it: "You are the same as those rich and powerful who bully men and women...".

"I asked myself why you were suddenly angry when there was no offense."Zhao Wuming squeezed the jade pendant, suppressing the trace of anger.

The strong man sneered: "Sneaky enemy, you think it's perfect, so no one really knows about it?".

"Enemy?".Zhao Wuming was stunned, thinking about when he would go to Lou Fan to defeat the enemy.

The brawny man only thought he was acting, and simply exposed it directly: "Collect after cart of soldiers set off from Daijun to the residence of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital of Loufan. Could it be that my eyes saw it wrong."

"Bingjia? Daijun? Who is so bold."Zhao Wuming asked subconsciously, but he didn't expect that Daijun actually had someone who was an enemy, which might bring changes to Seoul's next actions.

The strong man's eyes were full of disgust: "It's a hypocrisy, because I have no evidence, I'm acting here. It's a rich and powerful face, I've learned it."

"evidence?".These two words reminded Zhao Wuming, Zhao Wuming spread out the jade pendant in his hand to the strong man: "That caravan is under this banner".

"No, those caravans don't have banners."Seeing Zhao Wuming's stubborn mouth, the strong man looked at Yupei and shook his head.

Seeing the strong man's expression, Zhao Wuming immediately said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Those caravans were not sent by me. If you still don't believe me, I can investigate for you."

"My son? You are my son? This, how is this possible... ".The brawny man was suddenly taken aback when he heard the word young master.In broad daylight, who in this world would dare to falsely call himself a son, unless he is the son of a king.

　Three shifts today, and two shifts will resume tomorrow.
