Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 159: Black Road

On the side of the windy and gloomy road, "Hoo hoo..." Someone blew on the fire pocket twice, and a little spark lit up a little. It was dark all around, and there were no stars or moons. After a while, the person on the side of the road blew twice, carefully guarding the torch. He had a lantern in his hand, but he didn't hold it. The person who blew it was Zhao San. Standing here alone, he gradually felt very scared, as if there were ghosts in the gusts of cold wind. He can't help shrinking his neck. What scares him more than this is a big event going on tonight.

Every time he realizes that something has already started, he will be terrified and want to regret it... But every time before he does it, he is so excited that he can't help it. This happens every time, but every time it is difficult to restrain myself in advance.

Zhao San still remembers the ecstatic and nervous pleasure when he was planning, the thrill of heartbeating and taking risks, which can make people crazy!

It is not always possible to find such a sense of obsession. First of all, he needs to get something he desperately desires after success. Such things don’t have to be of great value, as long as he instinctively wants to get it, even destroying it is a pleasure... But not everything can make him enthusiastic.

Secondly, there must be a path that he thinks is feasible. A goal that is completely impossible will obviously not interest him. Having that kind of planning and expecting mood is a kind of enjoyment in itself, which makes him have the enjoyment of ridiculing others secretly and being superior to others...and no one can guess what he did.

Even though sometimes, at first glance, that thing does not belong to him at all, and it is not easy to get, but he still can't help but want to try. His appetite is getting bigger and bigger. At first it was just some wealth, and later it was a woman. Maybe one day it will be a certain city, a certain state... maybe several states, such as the Youzhou area, which is full of a sense of accomplishment.

But the only thing that annoys him is that when it comes to critical moments, he is terribly afraid, such as now. He is still too young, and he feels that he has not experienced it.

Now he is starting to worry about making a mistake... If the mistake is revealed, the consequences will be serious. But everything he did, it would be very serious if exposed.

Zhao San wanted to leave this ghost place very much now, regretted it very much, and felt that he should not have done this. It was not the first time that he was frightened half to death by himself, so scared that he wanted to urinate, he hurriedly lifted up his robe by the side of the road.

Damn it! Why did I do this? A few days ago, he fantasized about getting Mrs. Li, how he tortured her until she was skinny and insane, and how he humiliated her; when he thought of that girl "stealing someone", he was angry and eager for revenge... and thinking of his perfect plan, he couldn't wait to try it.

But in the blink of an eye, now he regrets it very much... It's too late to regret it!

At this moment, a sound of hoofbeats scared him so much that he peed on his robe. He hurriedly looked back and hid behind the horse on the side of the road. Although he knew it was useless to do so, he still subconsciously made a move.

"Zhao Yanei?" The strong man holding the lantern called out.

Zhao San walked out from behind the horse calmly, but his tone was a little urgent: "It's done?"

A heart rose to his throat, waiting for an answer.

"It didn't work." Li Xia'er, a strong man, said dejectedly. Zhao San's face immediately turned livid, he looked back at the way he came from and said, "Let's go!"

Zhao San got on his horse and pointed to the road to the southwest: "I'm not going back to Tokyo, I'm going to Ruzhou."

The two hurriedly entered a fork in the road, and Zhao San asked coldly: "What went wrong?"

Li Xia'er said: "The gunpowder was useless, the roof collapsed and the house burned, but the man was not killed." Zhao Sandao: "Why? I have seen the prescription clearly from my second brother and remembered it. The city wall of Shouzhou was blown up; even if there is not so much medicine, it is not enough to kill a few people... You are not wrong?"

Li Xia'er said: "It's just three things, how could they match up wrongly? It just didn't kill him. I saw him run out of the house with my own eyes, but my brother Li Mazi shot him with an arrow and injured him."

Zhao Sandao: "You didn't blow up anyone, but you still stayed there? What about people, did you stay there alive?"

Li Xia'er said: "Two were caught, and Li Mazi didn't run away because of his injured leg."

Zhao San scolded an idiot, and said: "I laid out the whole thing clearly, and asked you to repeat it twice. How could it be done like this? You didn't listen to what I said, what did you do?"

Li Xia'er said: "It's all according to what Zhao Yanei said. Two counties in Xuzhou were hit by locusts in the summer and autumn last year, and they had no harvest, and the bark in a few remote villages were all peeled. Li Mazi and I got some grain for porridge there. We selected a dozen young and strong to feed them, and promised five hundred catties of wheat to each of them, and let them work hard for a few days. Many people were willing. Come out, I didn't show my face."

Li Xia'er continued: "Li Mazi came forward to do this. I promised to give him the title deed of the brothel and gambling house next to the East City. I gave it to him yesterday...he can't take off his gloves for a day. If he doesn't do it, the building will still be there. But Li Mazi agreed. Now, knowing that Guo Shao will also come to that inn..."

Zhao San frowned and said, "Crossbows are not for you to kill people. Even if those rogues have learned how to use crossbows, who can they shoot to death? I mean to give you crossbows. Those crossbows were captured from Huainan, and they are different from those used by Da Zhou. Shoot a few arrows and throw them on the spot. After checking, they are people from Huainan!"

Li Xia'er muttered: "Zhao Yanei didn't say before...why did he bother to leave the crossbow and arrows at the inn?"

Zhao San said coldly: "Then Guo Shao and Li Chongjin had a grudge, who doesn't know? They fought in Huainan, and later Guo Shao even humiliated Li Chongjin and asked him to serve Jianyu in public. After the Huainan battle, Li Chongjin was still serving as the commander of the cavalry, but served as the Huainan Jiedu envoy. To clean up Li Chongjin's people from the imperial army...

If a high-ranking general like Guo Shao is assassinated, who do you think did it? Li Chongjin is the most suspected, he can't explain clearly; can anyone still suspect that we did it? Why did we kill Guo Shao? "

Li Xia'er also said in a daze, "Yes, why did we kill Guo Shao?"

Zhao San was excited and said: "Guo Shao is dead, and Li Chuyun, the general under him, has no one in charge. How can Li Chuyun, Li Chuyun, be promoted to the commander of the Imperial Army in a few months? There are many people who want to kick him out and replace him with his own brothers. At this time, let's woo him a little bit, and then Li Chuyun is not stupid. He used to be Guo Shao's man, and he will soon become my second brother's man...Under such circumstances, if he asks his daughter to marry and come here for fun, he will not be happy to kowtow to thank him?"

"But..." Li Xia'er scratched her head, as if she was still a little confused.

Zhao San sighed, with a worried expression on his face: "But it didn't work, it's a disaster!"

Li Xia'er hurriedly said: "We stayed in that inn a few days ago, and the beds were all next to the rear window; the wood of the rear window was nailed from the outside with rivets, and it could be pried open. The wooden barrel containing the gunpowder was also found by gesturing. The preparations were very proper. Even if the barrel of explosives can't blow up the whole room, if it is blown next to the bed, it will burn him to death if it doesn't blow him up! I really didn't expect it. It was done, but no one was killed."

Zhao San scolded: "Those things were not wrong, but you did one thing wrong. If you blow up the guest room, you should get out if you shoot a few arrows, and you shouldn't stay there... If nothing happens, it's okay if you don't live. Isn't that what I told you?"

Li Xia'er said: "I wanted to see if the man was dead, but that guy came out of the room alive and kicking. That Li Mazi was very good at archery, seeing that he didn't succeed, he was reluctant to leave the brothel and gambling house, so he refused to leave. That's why."

Zhao San heard this, and sighed: "The main reason is that I lack capable and loyal people who are willing to die for loyalty. No one can use them. Otherwise, if I ambushed and attacked the inn, I would have to kill Guo Shao...but you are the only one I can use."

"Zhao Yanei don't worry, that Li Mazi is someone I made friends in the gambling house, and he's from the same family, and he considers him a brother. But he doesn't know my details, he only knows that I am the owner of the gambling shop... By the way, I also told him that my hometown is in Huainan." Li Xia'er said, "Although Li Mazi was with me and followed Li Chuyun's house, but he didn't know who fell in love with Li Niangzi, he thought it was me."

Zhao Sandao: "After all, it's a life-and-death business. I'm afraid that he will secretly touch your details and see you coming in and out of Zhao's house..." He sighed, untied a bag from his waist, shook it jingling, and reined in his horse to hand it over.

Li Xia'er caught it and said, "This is..."

"You leave Ruzhou early tomorrow morning, go to Jingnan Shanzhou, find the owner of Li's Gold and Silver Shop, hide there for a while, and when the limelight passes, I will send someone to find you back." Zhao Sandao.

Li Xia'er couldn't help but opened the bag to have a look, only to see that it was gold and silver, not copper coins, he was overjoyed, and asked: "What is the relationship between the owner named Li and Zhao Yanei?"

"It's a long story, I'll drink some water first." Zhao San picked up the water bag and brought it to the corner of his mouth, his throat wriggled. He sighed "ha", then passed the water bag over, "You drink it too, let me tell you."

Li Xia'er took a sip from the water bag and handed it back to Zhao San.

Zhao San looked at him silently, at this moment, Li Xia'er's expression changed, he pinched his throat with his hands, and fell off the horse. He tossed and tossed on the ground, angry and fearful: "Zhao Yanei...you...have arsenic in the water?"

Zhao San's expression fell, he got off his horse and took a lantern to shine a light on, cursing: "Idiot ruined my good deeds, death is not a pity! The mouth of the dead is the strictest! Why don't you die, die soon!"

Li Xia'er stomped on the ground, but he didn't die.

Zhao San then took down an ax from the horse's back, turned around and walked over.
