The next day, Zheng Anping had breakfast and went to Liangxi Station to wait. This time, he found signs that someone had broken into the door. He checked around and found no items stolen, which gave him a little peace of mind. But this made him determined to do something.

Bury Masan as soon as possible, and then hand over Liang Xiyi to get rid of your own responsibilities.

During this process, the other three people also arrived one after another. They inspected various places in turn, but found no theft. They guessed that outsiders might have come in casually and exited when no one was there.

After the inspection, the four people sat down together to discuss the burial matters, and they all agreed to arrange the burial as soon as possible. Everyone unanimously decided not to wait any longer. Zheng Anping went home immediately and urged the wizard to arrange the burial as soon as possible.

Zheng Anping ran back to the village, found the wizard, and asked him to predict the time for burial, telling him that it would be best within the next few days. The wizard said: "How dare you disobey the Lord's order. However, the auspicious day for burial will be ten days later."

"I originally wanted to report to the young master, but the local chief informed me. The young master has already made an order, and official affairs are ongoing every day, so I haven't seen him."

Zheng Anping said: "We have set up a city outside the Great Wall, and Liangxi Station is his. Brother Ma's death will not last long. We only have three days, and we will be up in two days after tomorrow."

The wizard said in surprise: "Two days after tomorrow? Tomorrow will be too urgent and everything will be difficult to prepare. What if the sun rises the day after tomorrow and wakes up the spirits of all the disciples?"

Zheng Anping said: "Good! I hope the wizard will show you what we can do!"

The wizard said: "The child supports the coffin personally and does not treat others."

Zheng Anping said: "The four of us are responsible for supporting the coffin, but we still need four people to help!"

The wizard said: "Wei Shu already knows that. All other matters are on Wei Shu's side. I hope you won't have to work hard!"

Zheng Anping resigned, ran back to the inn, and recounted the story. Seeing this, everyone was happy and nervous. Qi Shuai, the gift from Lord Xinling, had all been taken home, and he had to go back to get it. So it was agreed that today

Zheng Anping was left to watch overnight (the last day, no room for error), and the other three people went back to prepare. Tomorrow, three people will be on duty, and Zheng Anping went home to prepare. Tomorrow night, they must gather together to watch all night and prepare for the burial.

After the three people left, Zheng Anping lit the oil lamp and sat outside the mourning hall. The cold wind was blowing outside, and although it was also very cold indoors, it could be less windy. Although he was wearing a silk robe and armor, it was almost blocked.

It's not cold. Running back and forth is a bit better, but sitting down makes it even colder.

In order to keep warm, he lit a fire, put it on, and began to cook porridge slowly. It was not to drink the porridge, but just to have this warmth.

The sun's shadow gradually moved and the sky became darker. Zheng Anping divided the porridge several times and drank it all. He took the porridge, bowls, etc. to the ditch outside, washed them clean, and carried them back. As soon as he entered the door, he stopped suddenly, but

He saw four people standing in the hall, all wearing short brown clothes. Zheng Anping wanted to exit, but the door closed behind him, and two more people flashed out from behind the door.

Zheng Anping's whole body tensed up, his hands gathered strength, and he was ready to fight. Among the four people in the hall, the leader waved his hand and asked the two people behind Zheng Anping to leave, while he came towards Zheng Anping alone. Zheng Anping stepped back slightly and put his body close to his body.

He held the door open, holding Ge in his hand, and stared warily.

The man walked a step away, leaned down and saluted, and said, "May I ask Master Zheng?"

Zheng Anping did not dare to neglect and asked: "Who do you respect?"

The man said: "I'm here, Zosan!"

Zheng Anping looked at him blankly and asked: "Why did you quarrel with me? Third brother, please tell me clearly! I should apologize!"

Zhan San said: "Master Zheng, don't you know?"

Zheng Anping asked: "How do you know this?"

Shan San said: "Three people outside Guanyi died. Does the young master know?"

Zheng Anping said: "Brother, are you trying to assassinate Lord Xinling?"

Zhi San said: "Of course."

Zheng Anping said in as calm a tone as possible: "I was injured by it and almost died!"

Zhi San said: "Brother, please tell me the details?"

Zheng Anping said: "There are three sons, one old and two strong, carrying wine and holding pictures, thinking they are working for the army. I recognized him as a Qin swordsman, so I shouted a warning, went forward with bare hands, stabbed him in the chest and lungs, and hit him in the back of the head.

, several deaths. Fortunately, no one died, it’s almost heaven’s end!”

A person next to him said: "No! Do you know that he is a Qin swordsman?"

Zheng Anping said: "Two days ago, I was guarding the abandoned city. There were five people, each wearing a pair of swords, one short and one long. They raised their hands and stepped forward as one body. They hid under the bridge. When Wei's reinforcements arrived, they were startled.

Among the five people, one was hit by my crossbow arrow. The next day, I saw five people outside Guanyi and arrived at Guanyi. Their appearance and body shape were all unremarkable, so I knew they were Qin soldiers who attacked the abandoned city at night. When they arrived at the tent,

, are three of them, so they all know each other."

Shan San said: "Brother Zheng, can you resemble his form?"

When Zheng Anping saw that the three generals were calling him "Brother Zheng" instead of "Mr. Zheng", he put down the Ge in his hand and said: "He has two swords, one short and one long, placed diagonally on his waist. The sword and the spear are used.

The gold is no more than ten taels, and the sword is more than a catty; the long sword is still a unique skill of Qin, which is not available in other countries. The swordsman who wears two swords cannot be compared with the swordsman of Qin. His actions are consistent with each other, and his movements are unparalleled.

It doesn't fit. You can't do this without leaving the military camp." So he imitated the gait of the five people he saw that night and took two steps.

Zhi San said: "He is the third son, why did he die?"

Zheng Anping said: "I was stabbed in the body, hit hard on the brain, and fell to the ground unconscious. No one else knew. Later I heard that he committed suicide by disfiguring his face..."

Shansan said: "Brother Zheng knows that these five sons are not Qin swordsmen, but knights."

Zheng Anping was shocked and said: "Since you are a knight, how can you assassinate Lord Xinling?"

Shansan said: "Can Lord Xinling have no hatred?"

Zheng Anping said: "I have heard that the deeds of chivalrous people will not be eradicated unless they are evil, and they will not be carried out unless they are righteous. Lord Xinling's benevolence and righteousness are spread throughout the sea, and there are no evil deeds. What can I do to hate them?"

Shan San said: "I heard that Lord Ling is loyal on the outside but has evil intentions on the inside, which will harm the country, burden the country, and make the ancestral temple uneasy. Therefore, we should get rid of him!"

Zheng Anping asked: "Where do you come from?"

Zhi San said: "The person who said this has been in the temple for a long time, is well versed in political affairs, is sophisticated in the world, and is experienced in planning. What he said is that the King of Wei is a wise lord, the son of Wei Wei, and an ominous minister. Standing beside the king, everyone

The king's suggestion must be remonstrated to stop him. There were three thousand guests at his door, and they all fled, but I heard that one person, Lord Xinling, went in and out of the palace without any restrictions. The king was worried about his life, and he couldn't eat anything sweet, and he couldn't sleep on a warm bed, so he worked hard to kill him.

.”

Zheng Anping said: "What I know is different. The king of Wei was weak and often unresolved. He always relied on Lord Xinling to make a decision. Now that Qin has defeated the Mang family, Lord Xinling stepped forward urgently to save the defeat.

The king therefore gave him the authority to govern the city for fifty miles. Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful and have never harmed each other."

Zhi San said: "If you can't manage a city for only a few miles, how can you get fifty miles?"

Zheng Anping said: "How can it be strange for this saint to do what is near and far away?"

Zhan San couldn't help but laugh and said: "Guan Ruoyi Gui, how can he wait for today!"

Zheng Anping said: "Educating households to bring order to the people is what the people want. Now that we have it, how can we abandon it?"

Zhi San said: "Brother, do you know the joy of conquering the world? Brother, do you know how empty it is to stick to a dry place?"

Zheng Anping said: "People gather to form settlements, settlements form towns, towns gather to form states, and states gather to form the world. When they gather together, there is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, relatives and sparseness, so how can etiquette and righteousness be withered?

Keep it safe!"

Zhi San said: "Just as my brother has conquered the countryside, just like Brother Zeng has conquered the world, how could his pleasure be exhausted?"

Zheng Anping said: "Brothers, if you discuss politics with your brothers, please take a seat and talk around the fire."

Zhan San looked at the people around him and said, "Forget it, let's listen to what Brother Zheng has to say!"

Zheng Anping built a fire in the courtyard, and several knights sat down around the fire. Zheng Anping said: "Brothers are here, each armed with a sharp sword. Do you want to take my life?"

Zhan San smiled, took out an iron vertebrae from his sleeve, threw it on the ground, and said to everyone: "Everyone has his own blade!" So everyone took out various sharp blades from their sleeves: long, short, etc.

Curved, straight, light, heavy, etc.

Zheng Anping looked at it and said with a smile: "Brothers are here with swords in their hands, how can they be merciful?"

Zhi San said: "We all thought that you relied on your strength to win, lured the guests in, and surrounded and killed them. Now I know that you drank them to death, and your skills were inferior. Each one is his own master, and brother is a true righteous man. We have to observe his creation.

no?"

Zheng Anping took off his leather armor, took off his shirt, and exposed his chest. The two hideous wounds on his shoulders and chest stared at everyone like a pair of devil's eyes, and everyone was shocked. The large wound on his left chest looked like a gaping mouth.

Zhan San said: "Brother is truly a hero, even though he has been wounded several times, he is still brave."

Zheng Anping tied up his clothes again, put on his armor, and said: "Brothers, I will teach you something when you come now. I would like to hear it."

Zhi San said: "Brother Hou ordered us not to harm your life. We are not convinced and will try it ourselves. If you are a loyal person, why not make friends! How can you stay in the world if you are a coward and a coward! What you see now is really true.

He is a hero! He is covered in wounds, but no one cares about him!"

Zheng Anping didn't expect that Shan San and others were actually Hou Ying's people. Thinking of the situation when they first met, if a fight really broke out, someone would be killed. At that time, I was afraid that Brother Hou would not be able to resolve the grudge. But he didn't tell the truth and asked

He asked: "Brother, what do you do for a living?"

Zhisan said: "Kill for a living!"

Zheng Anping looked at the sharp knives in front of everyone's knees and suddenly understood that these people were actually a group of butchers. These sharp knives were used for skinning, shaving, deboning, and cutting meat. But the iron spine was unknown.

Yong. He then said: "Brothers, do you dare to make pigs, cattle and dogs your business? Brother Yu has used all his weapons, but Brother Pig's spine..."

Zhi San said: "This is a pig-butchering tool. Others butcher pigs, and they all tie them with ropes and kill them. I don't do that, but if I hit them on the head, they will all die instantly."

Zheng Anping said: "Brother Pig is really powerful." Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked: "Brother, when you go to the countryside, you will see a lot. If I want to get calves or piglets, brother, I will do it as soon as I can."

no?"

Zou San said: "Why is that so difficult! The price of calves is high, about four to five hundred yuan; piglets are a bit cheaper, about one to two hundred yuan. But if you get enough money, you will have to sacrifice it."

Zheng Anping said: "I can add a few tens of dollars, and I hope you will find the best one. But when it comes to slaughtering, you still need your help."

Zhan San said: "If you want something better, of course, but if you want to pay more, you don't have to!"

Zheng Anping said: "It's just a drink." Then he changed the subject and said: "Are the three brothers in the tent also brothers and other peers?"

Zhisan stopped talking, and a person next to him said: "He is not just like us, he is also a local hero. We know his deeds and admire his righteousness."

Zheng Anping said: "How can I behave like the people of Qin when I am a brother and a peer?"
