Chapter 159 Youth
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"
The little donkey brayed loudly and looked very proud.
After all the trouble just now, there are no more eyeliners around them!
Zhong Sheng looked into the distance with his eyes and shook his head. The situation is not optimistic.
The Tang army set up numerous formations, with ambushes in the southeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest.
Zhong Sheng changed directions more than a dozen times in succession, as if he was in Tietong and couldn't find a way out.
Although he eliminated the opponent's informants, the army was so tightly surrounded that an encirclement was bound to happen sooner or later.
"People don't fight with officials!"
The imperial government is essentially an organization. It gathers one of tens of millions of people and occupies a natural advantage.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are or how powerful your spells are, once you fall into the hands of thousands of troops, there is only one way to die.
Zhong Sheng relied on the help of Yin Juan Yang Dian to escape the ambush several times, but the opponent had too many people.
In the Tang army, there were many Taoist priests and wizards who helped him and followed his footsteps.
This time I cut off the eyeliner, I am afraid that after a few days, the other party will regroup and make a comeback.
Hard to guard against!
Zhong Sheng shook his head, his eyes fixed in a certain direction.
He has seen that direction many times. It is the only way to survive under heavy siege.
In other places, murderous intent soared into the sky, countless elite soldiers were ambushing them, and even the birds did not dare to approach.
Only here, the clouds are clear and the wind is gentle, and the popularity is sparse.
Zhong Sheng scanned it several times but ignored it. The place that seemed to be the safest was actually the most dangerous.
In the art of war, there is the tactic of surrounding three and missing one, which is to arrange a desperate blow when the enemy is at the end of his rope.
"This is treating me as prey."
Zhong Sheng guessed the other party's intention and was never fooled.
However, as the opponent's encirclement tightens step by step, the space for him to move becomes smaller and smaller.
Several times, I almost ran into an ambush by the opponent, and then I quickly changed my direction and was very close.
"Hmm!"
Zhong Sheng thought about it again and again, "Monkeys and donkeys, you know it's a trap, can you break in?"
The ape looked at him doubtfully and nodded subconsciously.
The little donkey brayed twice, expressing our loyalty to you.
Okay, that’s it.
Zhong Sheng slapped the donkey's buttocks and said, "Up!"
Tuk-tuk-tuk, the sound of the donkey's hooves is light and crisp, and it goes all the way.
After walking for a while, the weather was getting hotter and a tea shed appeared on the side of the road.
Zhong Sheng looked up and saw three or five people sitting in the tea shed, with horses tied by the tree next to them.
He was delighted when he saw it, what a war horse!
The identity of the guests in the tea shed is self-evident!
"Go down and have a rest."
Zhong Sheng took the little donkey, comforted it for a few times, then turned and walked into the tea shed
The tea shed is simple and simple, with barked tree trunks propped up, the top covered with thatch bushes, and thick blue cloth hung on all sides to protect it from wind and dust.
A young general, less than thirty, was sitting at the table reading a book, with a cup of tea on the table next to him.
The porcelain color of the tea cup is uniform and bright, and it is absolutely unique. At first glance, it looks like it is reserved for a wealthy family.
Behind him stood two scribes, a general, and a Taoist priest.
When Zhong Sheng walked into the tea shed, several people heard footsteps and subconsciously looked at the young man.
The young man said nothing and looked at the rolled-up book carefully.
"Where's the store? Why don't you come to say hello?"
Zhong Sheng looked around and found that there were only guests in the tea shed, but no waiters.
"If there is no store, boil water and make tea by yourself!"
The young man said softly without raising his head.
Zhong Sheng shook his head, "Why is it so troublesome?"
He immediately took out the water bag and drank heavily.
After drinking, he wiped his mouth and reminded them, "Tie your horses farther away. My donkey has a bad temper. If he gets too close, he may kick your good horse!"
The general behind the young man angrily rebuked, "It's ridiculous. A short donkey can kick and injure a thousand-mile horse that has experienced many battles?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses neighing was heard outside, and the sound was quite miserable.
The general hurriedly went out to check, but saw the little donkey looking arrogant, chasing several war horses, kicking and biting them.
These war horses were tall, and they whined repeatedly when they were bullied. They circled and dodged around the trees. Their armor was dented by kicks, their manes were bitten and pulled out by large strands, and large drops of blood oozed from their bodies.
"This..."
The general wanted to punch the wild donkey to death, but he heard the young man speak.
"Why do you have a hand in this beastly matter?"
He quickly returned to the tea shed and still stood behind the young man.
Zhong Sheng saw that the young man was their leader and at least a general of the Tang army.
He can be responsible for the most critical step. I am afraid that his status is not low. Could it be that he is a famous person who has left his name in history?
"Are the books that good?
Zhong Sheng felt that he was pretending. Now that the enemy and we are face to face, with murderous intent strong, who can read the book?
Hearing this, the young man put down the book and smiled gently, "It's beautiful, very beautiful."
"The world in the book is far more vast and boundless than the world."
"The truth of all things in the world is found in this white page and a few lines of ink."
Zhong Sheng shook his head, "I don't believe it, I've only heard that the truth lies in the fist."
The scribe behind the young man immediately scolded him, "It's nonsense and vulgar."
Zhong Sheng looked at him sideways and said, "If you are not convinced, feel free to use the logic of your tongue to try the logic of my fists to see whose logic is stronger."
This is a scholar meeting a soldier, and I can’t explain why.
The young man chuckled and said, "I, the gentlemen, have always been weak, and it is difficult for them to defeat the power of your punch, so I will spare you."
Zhong Sheng looked at the young man up and down and said that at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, talents emerged in large numbers and heroes were common in the grass.
The young man in front of me is born with a noble spirit. Going back to at least three generations of noble families.
"You are a senior member of the Tang Army, right?
Zhong Sheng asked, "Aren't you afraid of danger if you come to deal with me personally?"
The young man shook his head, raised the scroll in his hand, and said, "I have this."
"The truth behind this thing is stronger than the truth behind your fist."
"Please be patient and listen."
Zhong Sheng didn't say anything, please, young man, please start talking by yourself.
"Zhong Sheng was from Zhongnan County, Guanzhong Road, Tang Dynasty. He had a grandmother and a sister-in-law in his family."
"My second uncle Zhong Kui failed the scientific examination in the first year of Wude and committed suicide in anger."
"My sister-in-law, Du Zhong, married the wealthy businessman Du Ping, and now lives with her mother-in-law in her husband's family."
"Zhong Sheng, born a bad boy, is suspected of killing Zhongnan Prefect and his son at night, but the evidence is unclear."
"A few days ago, the reason why Commander Xuanjia Fei Chengkun and his twenty secret soldiers were killed was Fei Commander's old father..."
When the young man said this, he marveled, "I once read historical records and read the biographies of knight-errants. When I was young, I admired them very much. But when I got older, I realized that knights used force to break the ban, which was really a great harm to the country."
"Zhongsheng, you are today's ranger. You are not afraid of the laws of the country and kill without scruples."
After hearing this, Zhong Sheng clasped his fists at the young man and said, "Thank you for exaggerating."
The young man was stunned, a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. The scribe behind him said for him, "I'm not complimenting you."
Zhong Sheng waved his hand, "It's all the same."
"You inquired so clearly about my family's situation, do you want to retaliate?"
"Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of this. You are from a noble family, and the nine clans in my family combined are not as large as the number of people in one house of yours."
"You have a thousand days to be a thief, but you don't have a thousand days to guard against them. If you harm your family, don't blame me for being careless."
