Chapter 17 Persuading Zhang Kui
The white clouds in the distant sky are stained with a faint golden silk, and the sun rises from the horizon and shines warmly on the body in this autumn windy season.
The rising sun seems to have dissipated the haze of everyone's hearts. Standing at both ends of the high valley, the faces of the horse thieves also recovered from their paleness.
"I don't know if that new bastard died in this sea of fire." Boss Qian muttered to himself, and the new bastard in his mouth naturally pointed to the city owner Green.
The fat man next to him looked at him with a smile on his face: "Why don't you go down and look for it? Maybe you may not be able to find his body."
Boss Qian looked at the narrow valley under the ground that looked like hell. There seemed to be a smell of burnt meat in the air, and a scream seemed to be in his ear.
There was an inexplicable rolling in his stomach. Ambassador Qian swallowed his saliva and reluctantly suppressed the surging sour gas. He turned his head and dared not look again. He shook his head and said in an astringent voice, "It doesn't matter whether he dies or not. Even if he doesn't die and kills more than 3,000 soldiers, I'm afraid that the good days of his city owner will come to an end. In the future, this desert It's still the world of us horse thieves.
In a common sense, it seems to be true. Looking at the boss Qian who reappeared on his face, the fat man smiled. Although he did not say anything to refute, there was a strange light in his slightly squinted eyes.
Coming down from the valley, because a fire killed 3,000 soldiers, the horse thieves did not need to escape at this time. They returned from the original road and went down the hillside before noon and returned to the vast desert.
In this gathering of horse thieves, the original 13 horse thieves, in addition to the Tang Liu's part that were burned to death in the valley and the triangular eye part that was surrounded and killed by everyone, there were also three horse thieves who were lured to death by Tang Liu in the canyon at the beginning.
When the thirteen roads came, the vast horse thief came. At this time, except for the five roads, there were only eight roads left, and the number of people was also sharply reduced from nearly 3,000 at the beginning to less than 2,000 now. Therefore, even if they won the imperial regular army, the other horse thief leaders were all worried and didn't see any joy on their faces.
After going down the mountain, the eight-way horse thief returned to the valley where the original party was originally gathered. In the distance, he saw more than 200 imperial cavalry rushing out of the valley and fled in panic. Zhang Kui was excited and waved two huge plate axes in his hand, shouting to catch up and kill him, but his proposal did not get it. He was recognized by the leader of the thief, and everyone's face showed hesitation. It seemed that he had no intention to fall in love here again.
"It's all burned. Now I'm afraid there's still a bird!" Zhang Kui pointed to several horse thief leaders and scolded angrily. Although their faces were red and white, they all avoided their eyes and did not dare to look at Zhang Kui. Boss Qian on the side wanted to make a circle, but before he opened his mouth, he saw Zhang Kui looking forward to him. Boss Qian smiled awkwardly, covered his forehead with his hand, and finally avoided it.
The fat man looked on coldly. After all, these horse thieves who are used to plundering are just some unattainable fights. They have long been used to the awe of the regular army of the Patton Empire. Even if they were lucky enough to burn 3,000 imperial soldiers last night, if they want them to confront the regular army of the empire, they will still be timid after all. Of course In addition, it also belongs to the Eighth Route with them, which itself is a mob, and only knows that there is a certain relationship between self-preservation.
Other horse thief leaders are unwilling to take action, and Zhang Kui will naturally not be stupid enough to let his only more than 200 brothers fight with the imperial cavalry. It's just that his anger was hard to calm down. When he passed by a big tree with a thick bowl mouth, he was angry and cut the axe hard. The big tree 'squeaked' and broke. Zhang Kui let out a cold hum. Under the cheers of his brothers and the stunned eyes of other horse thief leaders, he was like an unyielding god of war!
"Lord, they didn't come after me."
More than two hundred imperial cavalrymen who had just fled in a hurry stopped slowly. When they first rode back at the nearly 2,000 horse thieves in front of the valley in the distance, the cold wind blew their long hair on their cheeks, and their eyes were extremely complicated.
"Lord of the city, Lord of the city..."
"What's the hurry!" Green, the city owner, looked at his panicked soldiers unhappily. The soldier was stunned by the chill in his eyes. Although he was frightened by the horse thief in the distance, he did not dare to say anything at this time.
From the imperial capital to this wild land, Green's surging ambition and self-confidence made him a little arrogant. Now it seems that he still underestimates the heroes of the world. Among the thieves who originally thought, there are also people who hide dragons and crouching tigers!
"This time I lost, but next time, you will not be so lucky. Wait and see..." A ferocious smile appeared on the corners of Green's mouth, but all the ambitious people will never admit defeat so easily. Green pulled the reins, and in the hissing of the horses, he turned around and rushed forward like an arrow. Other imperial cavalry followed closely, and more than 200 riders quickly disappeared from the sight of the horse thieves.
"I finally left..." Seeing the back of the more than 200 imperial cavalry who stopped unexpectedly and quickly left, countless horse thieves couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
The leaders of the horse thief were just glad that they did not clash head-on with the imperial cavalry, but they didn't expect that their hesitation was to let go of the big fish and let the biggest ally Green leave calmly. There is a cause and a result. Today's cowardice seems to have foreshadowed something at this time.
Looking at Zhang Kui's still indignited black face, other horse thief leaders, including Boss Qian, were also a little embarrassed to stay here again. Other seven horse thieves, including Boss Qian, soon left, but before they left, their eyes looked at the fat man were a little different. Boss Qian even had a trace of solicitation.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise we don't know how many people will die." Boss Qian said with a trace of gratitude, "Within a radius of a hundred miles, my horse thief team is quite large. If you want, you might as well gallop on this desert with me. I'm also old. In a year or two, this horse thief will change your surname sooner or later.
"Well, is there only your money boss and a burglar team in this desert? If my brother wants to, he will come to me. Why do I have to go to your place to see your eyes!" Before the fat man spoke, Zhang Kui, who was beside him, shouted loudly. Although Boss Qian was embarrassed, he still looked at the fat man sincerely. In the past two years, he has been getting older and has often a strong sense of incomplea, and he is indeed three points of sincerity to what the fat man says.
Although the life of a thief seems to be unrestrained and magnificent, it is not what the fat man wants at this time. He has greater ambition and wants to stand on a wider stage.
Without hesitation, the fat man shook his head at Boss Qian with a longing face: "I got the heart of Boss Qian, but I'm young and frivolous, and I want to see more of the world. I don't want to stay in this place so early."
Boss Qian didn't expect that the fat man would give such a reason. His eyes were a little trance, with a faint smile. He looked up at the vast world, and his hoarse voice was a little ethereal: "Yes, it's still too small here. You should have a bigger world. Go and see the world... Oh, if If I'm ten years younger, maybe I really want to follow you to have a good look at the world.
Boss Qian seemed to remember something. There was a faint sadness on his originally feminine face, and there was a memory and remembrance in his eyes. Suddenly, he smiled cheerfully and pulled the reins of the horse. After running more than ten meters in the wind, he suddenly pulled the reins. In the hissing of the horse, Boss Qian seemed to be full of vitality again, and his face was With an infectious smile, he turned to the fat man and shouted, "Go, go and have a good look at the world!" If you are tired one day, you are welcome to join us at any time! Also, this time you helped us, the burglar in the desert is not an ungrateful villain... Haha, let's go! Go back to our old nest!"
With a rampant laughter, a powerful boss of money led nearly a thousand horse thieves and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"He was not so timid before." Zhang Kui looked at Mr. Qian's distant back with some sigh, turned around and looked at the fat man's eyes: "It's all gone. We should go too. I promised to send you to the Death Triangle. Let's go."
The noise gradually faded away, and the valley regained its former calm. A golden shadow flew over the valley, with a shrill cry, chasing the dust rising behind the horses and flying farther and farther to the southwest.
The next evening, the burning clouds in the west were dazzling, and the excited shout of McGonifis came from the vast desert.
"Haha, look! I found a place. In front of me is the Death Triangle. When I get here, I can find a place with my eyes closed!"
Magnifis was talking big without blushing. The fat man and others had already seen his road blindness. Hearing the words, they just rolled their eyes and ignored him, but they did see some differences in the direction of Magnifis's fingers.
A pile of finished skeleton skull skulls in a row, the black hole eye sockets facing the direction of everyone, and even a spotted viper, which is common in the desert, crawled around in the eye sockets of the skeleton, making the little demon of the snake ** a little afraid to hide behind the fat man.
"The past is the area of the Death Triangle." Zhang Kui looked at the pile of skulls and licked his lips: "The death triangle is very messy. You'd better be careful. You can't find a good person like me there."
"A horse thief can also be regarded as a good person?" Lolita curled her lips, but Zhang Kui smiled, cracked her big mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth: "I'm only good to you. The others are coming. My two axes clicked and cut their heads!"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Lolita said an annoyance and turned away. McGonifis, who was nervous beside her, sneered at Zhang Kui at the same time: "Yes, I don't bother to pay attention to you!"
Zhang Kui grinned and didn't pay attention to it. In fact, through getting along with each other in the past few days, Zhang Kui already knows the temper and personality of the fat people. Except for the indifferent and talkative Bill, the others have a good relationship with the rough Zhang Kui. In the eyes of the burly Zhang Kui, the little girl Lolita, who is not yet an adult, is like his little sister. He often likes to tease her and joke, and sees Magniphys look nervous from time to time. Zhang Kui, who is used to the bloody killing in the desert, only finds it interesting. In this small team, he can find something he thought he had forgotten.
"We're leaving." The fat man's words brought Zhang Kui back to reality. He frowned slightly and wanted to smile as if he didn't care as usual, but the smile on his face always seemed a little stiff.
"Okay, then... good luck to you." Zhang Kui looked at the fat man and stretched out his right hand.
The fat man did not stretch out his right hand like him. He turned his head sideways and looked at the big black-faced man in front of him. His eyes flashed with a strange brilliance: "Aren't you going to go with us?"
"Together?" Zhang Kui's eyes widened in consternment.
"Yes, go to the Death Triangle with us, and then... Maybe somewhere else, as I said to Boss Qian, let's go and see the world together!"
The fat man's words are full of the smell of demagogy, surging and turbulent, as if it can make people's blood burn.
Zhang Kui took a deep breath and shook his head: "No, I still have more than 200 brothers."
"I didn't let you leave these brothers alone with us." The fat man raised a bright smile on his face, which looked like a cunning fox. Lolita looked at the fat man with admiration and admiration, while Magnifers and Biemis looked incredible. Only the little demon and Bill's faces were nothing different. The little demon was blind to his master, and only Bill, who looked at the world coldly knew what his good brother wanted.
Zhang Kui still shook his head: "It's impossible. They are used to the life of this desert and horse thief. This is our home. A horse thief can only die on horseback.
"I didn't ask you to throw away the horse. You just take the horse." The fat man smiled, as if he had asked Zhang Kui to lead more than 200 people to follow them, as simple as inviting guests to dinner.
Zhang Kui finally couldn't help giving the fat man a big white eye. He raised the axe in his hand to the fat man with a lot of banditry: "You're a man. Before you leave, you still want to make fun of me. Get out of here. If you don't get out, be careful, I really cut your head with an axe!"
The fat man ignored Zhang Kui's threat, stretched out his waist pleasantly, looked sideways at Zhang Kui and said, "Are you really not going?"
"I won't go."
"Well, fat man, I'm soft-hearted. I wanted to save you from the bitter sea. Since you want to take your brothers back to die, it's up to you." The fat man shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave.
"Alas, wait! What did you say about going back to die? Zhang Kui's big eyes widened like copper bells. After getting along with each other for a few days, the fat man always guessed. Speaking of bravery and heroism, Zhang Kui believes that he will not lose to others, but when it comes to conspiracy and tricks, the three Zhang Kui are not the opponents of fat people!
It is about the life and death of brothers, and Zhang Kui must be careless and cautious.
The fat man stopped and turned around. At this time, his face was already in awe: "Three thousand regular soldiers of the empire were burned to death. Do you really think this matter will end like this?"
Without waiting for Zhang Kui to reply, the fat man said like a bead: "Three thousand soldiers died, which is indeed a big deal. But do you really think this is just the painstaking efforts of the new city owner Green**? He dared to use 3,000 imperial cavalry and set down layers of traps. Is it really just to clean up the desert and give a good environment and order for those business travelers? With such a big fight and deliberation, I'm afraid Green has other plans!"
The fat man broke the fog. Zhang Kui's eyebrows frowned tightly and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
In this desert, Zhang Kui grew from an unknown pawn to a strong man. There is his glory and glory. This piece of land for which he bleeds and sweats can not be abandoned so easily.
"You'd better go back. Maybe that Green has died in the sea of fire." The fat man waved his hand happily and turned around and walked towards the death triangle.
Zhang Kui's face was uncertain. Seeing that the fat man, Lolita and others were about to ride away from the death triangle, they couldn't help shouting, "You said Green had other plans, so what did he want!"
The fat man turned to look at Zhang Kui and shrugged his shoulders very irresponsibly and said, "I don't know what he wants, but... Since he has spent so much energy to instill his will in this desert, as long as he is still alive, he will definitely come back. At that time, you can only ask the gods. Bless, all the other horse thieves are hostile to each other and unite to fight to the death with the regular army of the empire.
The fat man spoke, but there was a trace of joking on his face. Think about the look of the other seven-way horse thief leaders shrinking. Instead of waiting for them to let go, it's safer to leave at this time.
"Yes, there is another way..."
Zhang Kui's eyes lit up, but the fat man quickly disillusioned him cruelly.
"Go and turn to Green and get ahead of other horse thief leaders."
Zhang Kui was furious and looked at the fat man coldly and said, "Do you think I, Zhang Kui, will be such a villain!"
The fat man turned a blind eye to Zhang Kui's anger and said with a heartless smile, "I know you are not such a villain, so... you can only hope that other horse thieves will not be this villain like you."
The fat man's words were just speculation, but it was also because the fat man's previous performance was too shocking. Every time he said something, Zhang Kui had to pay attention to his words. If it is as the fat man said, I'm afraid he will die with his brothers back this time! Even if he can come and go like the wind in this desert, Green is cunning and insidious. As long as he is careless, I'm afraid he will die!
"Maybe, following this fat man is really the best choice..." Zhang Kui's heart flashed through such an idea, and then the idea grew crazily like a spring weed. Suddenly, Zhang Kui had made a decision!
"Well, we'll go with you, but after I'm sure it's safe here, I'll still bring my brothers back!"
"They are your people, whatever." A bright smile appeared on the fat man's face: "Welcome to join us. We will be together in the future."
Looking at the smile on the fat man's face, Zhang Kui suddenly felt something was wrong. Welcome to join? Er... It should have been the fat people who joined their own group, right? Hey! There are only six of you!
Looking at the more than 200 tough brothers behind him, Zhang Kui's eyes suddenly became wet...
