Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 86: Raise the Sword for a Thousand Days, Use it for a Moment
Zhen Jizhi told everything he had done in the past two years.
"Two years ago, I was a groom serving Master Lan. He had a total of fourteen horses, with three grooms for each horse. Do you understand how low my status was?" Zhen Jizhi recalled the past, and no more nonsense came out of his mouth.
"Yeah, little transparent." Tang Zheng nodded.
Zhen Jizhi laughed and cried, and sniffed: "At that time, my wife had a difficult labor when giving birth to our second child, and she left me and our first child behind. Not long after, my mother suddenly became seriously ill, and I almost felt like I couldn't live anymore... It was at this time that Young Master Lan's people found me."
Zheng Qian and his brothers listened and said nothing more.
With their strength, how many of them have fallen to the point of becoming bandits without having a story to tell?
"The person sent by Young Master Lan got medicine for my mother and saved her life in time. Just when I was filled with gratitude, he asked me if I was willing to go on a long journey..."
"On a business trip." Tang Zheng said thoughtfully.
"On the one hand, I couldn't bear to leave my old mother and young son at home, but on the other hand, I had to repay Master Lan for saving me. After I went home, I thought about it for a whole night, and finally, I agreed." Zhen Jizhi said, tears falling from his eyes, "Master Lan gave me 100 taels of silver and gave me three days to prepare. I spent half of the silver to buy a small house in Wulong Town that would not leak, and bought two sturdy and smart little girls to work. After settling my mother and child, I returned to Yinlan Villa..."
"Then, Lan Shaoze asked you to come to us?" Zheng Qian asked.
Zhen Jizhi shook his head: "Master Lan met me in person and only said a few words to me. After that, he only praised me and said that I was really good at talking, and then let me leave."
Given Lan Shaoze's identity, there is really no need to tell him in person what to do.
So, everyone just nodded and waited for him to continue.
"After I left Young Master Lan, Young Master Lan's top confidant, Lan Yanyi, came to tell me what Young Master Lan wanted me to do." Zhen Jizhi then glanced at Zheng Qian and the others, "He wants me to hang out with Wuqing Mountain and Longding Mountain and find a bandit leader who is the strongest but the least intelligent to join. After I've done that, I can contact him."
"What do you mean by the strongest but the worst brain?" Zheng Qian looked depressed. "If there weren't accidents every time, when would my analysis have ever been wrong?"
"..." His brothers all sighed in confusion.
Zhen Jizhi quickly put his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Tang Zheng kicked Zheng Qian to shut him up, then said to Zhen Jizhi, "Go on."
"At that time, there were about a dozen gangs of bandits at the junction of the two mountains. I wandered around Wuqing Mountain and Longding Mountain for more than half a month, and finally selected the gang led by Boss Zheng. After I went back to contact Lan Yanyi, he told me that Young Master Lan wanted to unify all the nearby bandit forces and bring them under his control, but he and his confidants were not convenient to show up, so this matter was left to me."
What happened afterwards was not much different from what Zheng Qian and the others knew.
After Zhen Jizhi joined them, he helped them to come up with strategies and strategies, while they were suppressing and gathering the bandit forces at the junction of the two mountains. With the secret help of Yinlan Villa, they progressed particularly smoothly and their scale expanded rapidly.
Of course, Zheng Qian attributed the greatest credit to Zhen Jizhi, respectfully calling him "Master Zhen" and showing him unlimited trust in him.
After doing all this, Zhen Jizhi's life was quite comfortable. Most of the time, he was able to get along well in the bandits' den. Almost no one would say no to anything he said. He could also take time to go back to Wulong Town from time to time to see how his mother and children were doing...
Until tonight, more than two years later, Lan Shaoze summoned him in person again.
Maintain your troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment!
The task assigned to him by Lan Shaoze was to have this group of bandits come out in full force and ambush the convoy returning from the banquet at Yinlan Villa. All of the younger generation of Tang Family Castle who were above the one-star high-ranking level must be killed, and the head of their guest Tang Zheng must be brought back and hung directly on the gate of Xinglai Inn!
As long as he completes this task, Zhen Jizhi will be able to immediately end his undercover life, return to Yinlan Villa, and be promoted to be Lan Shaoze's confidant.
"Oh, you are such a troublesome master." Tang Zheng sneered, "Not only did you kill me, you also hung my head at a designated location..."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhen Jizhi broke out in cold sweat.
Tang Boyuan's face was already blue and black.
Lan Shaoze has gone too far this time!
If it weren't for the young men of Tangjiabao who made a casual move for Tang Zheng and broke Lan Shaoze's hidden move, the result tonight would have been unimaginable.
Lan Shaoze's arrangements were actually made two years ago.
He wants to integrate such a huge force, which is definitely a surprise attack on Tangjiabao!
If it doesn't appear today, it will appear one day when there is a large-scale conflict between Tangjiabao and Yinlan Villa.
"Lan Shaoze's plan was sophisticated and his timing was brilliant." Tang Zixie gritted his teeth and said, "Today is the most proud moment for Tang Family Fort, so we all drank and neglected our precautions..."
No one is perfect, and no one can never make mistakes.
But in Wulong Town, the cost of making mistakes is too high!
"The timing is one thing, but the target is also better chosen." Tang Boyuan replied coldly, "Even if Tangjiabao loses a three-star warrior of mine, it is not as bad as losing you. It is a big blow to Tangjiabao!"
Tang Xiaotang and his friends are the future of Tangjiabao!
Killing Tang Boyuan would require a higher price , but for Tangjiabao, it would only be a temporary injury.
But if Tang Xiaotang and the others were all captured in one fell swoop, there would be no problem with Tang Family Castle for the time being. However, twenty years later, when Lan Shaoze took over Yinlan Villa, Tang Family Castle would no longer be a threat to him!
"Well, tactics against late-stage heroes..." Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Whether Tang Zheng is there or not, Lan Shaoze has to make this move.
It's just that Tang Zheng's appearance made Lan Shaoze take out the knife a little earlier.
"Uncle, please take them back to Tangjiabao and retrial them separately." Tang Zheng said to Tang Boyuan.
"Of course!" Tang Boyuan certainly knew that although Zhen Jizhi's words had no loopholes, he still needed to confirm it again.
Not only must Zhen Jizhi's words be re-examined and questioned repeatedly, but his family and Tangjiabao must also be found in advance.
Because, it's not that there is no other possibility - he is not Lan Shaoze's man, but deliberately instigates a fight between Tangjiabao and Yinlan Villa, a fight to the death.
"Wait, wait." Before being taken away, Zheng Qian reached out and grabbed Tang Zheng's clothes. "Before I die, I have only one question, one last question..."
"Speak." Tang Zhengdao.
"After listening for a long time, I finally understood how we jumped into the fire pit, but I still don't understand what happened tonight... Why did you stop the car before our ambush site? Not a step more or less!"
The young men from Tangjiabao
Everything that happened today was really dangerous.
If Tang Zheng had not stopped the entire convoy in advance, and they had rushed headfirst into the enemy's ambush, I'm afraid that even if they had a lot of tricks up their sleeves, there would be casualties.
The initiative that Tang Zheng seized for them allowed them to avoid the opponent's best-prepared attack!
Tang Zheng shrugged. He didn't want to show off to Zheng Qian at this moment. He just spread his hands and replied casually: "Sorry, I have the ability to predict the future."
Zheng Qian let out a long "Oh" thoughtfully...
The young men of Tangjiabao all shook their heads and smiled, knowing that although Tang Zheng's injuries were not serious, he did not have much strength left. They quickly asked him to get in the car and go back to Tangjiabao to rest.
Zheng Qian and his companions were shackled and escorted slowly towards Tangjiabao.
Ah Zhi took a few steps back. He looked at Zheng Qian's sudden realization and couldn't help but say, "Hey, you don't really believe it, do you?"
"Why don't you believe it?" Zheng Qian looked at Azhi strangely.
"I say, you are not young anymore, why is your IQ like a twelve-year-old? You believe his nonsense?" When Ah Zhi heard that he actually believed it, he suddenly felt very complicated and blurted out what was in his heart.
Zheng Qian looked at Ah Zhi and said, "How do you know he is talking nonsense? I always tell my brothers, don't just deny something because you don't know it, and... is there no one in the world who can predict other people's actions?"
Ah Zhi's eyebrows twitched twice: "Yes! There are people in this world who can do it, but he is obviously not at the second star, and there is not a single Tianji star in his fate palace, and the weapon he practices is not a water pan..."
Zheng Qian blinked his eyes: "Well, what you said makes sense... But, does that have anything to do with whether he can predict it?"
Azhi suddenly wanted to bang his head against the wall.
He simply had no idea how this person had cultivated to the peak of the two-star level!
What he just said are all necessary conditions if such a thing as "precognition" really exists. Moreover, those cannot be completely called precognition. At most, they can be called some predictions about the movement of star power.
But Zheng Qian asked with an innocent look, what does it matter!
Azhi was very suspicious. Could it be that this person started cultivating stars without even finishing reading the "Star Attraction Method"?
"Alas, you are still young and have not experienced many things. Your views are too young and simple. Come, don't be anxious. Uncle will analyze it for you..." Zheng Qian continued to say to Azhi.
"..." Azhi rolled his eyes at him, then used his running skills to sprint a few steps and climb onto Tang Zheng's carriage.
