[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 111 [English]

Chapter 109 Awakening of Insects

Qiao Tianya and his men chased them out of the inn, and there was no trace of the two people on the street.Fei Sheng mounted his horse from behind, pointed to the west, and said: “Since he is alert, he should know that he cannot stay here for a long time. He will definitely not be able to escape our eyes in the town. He will most likely choose to leave the town and take a detour to Cizhou.”

According to the information Qiao Tianya knows, Shen Zechuan should still be in Cizhou at this moment.He stuffed the ingot of silver back into his chest. Before he could speak, he heard Ji Gang’s voice coming from behind him.

Ji Gang gathered his cloak, drank the medicine in his hand, and said, “You don’t have to stay for me tonight. We will get on our horses and go to Cizhou now. No matter what, we must tell Chuan’er about this first.”

It was related to Shen Zechuan’s safety. Qiao Tianya knew that Ji Gang would never rest tonight, so he signaled the Jin Yiwei behind him to lead the horse.Ji Gang got on the horse, straightened his waist, flicked the reins, and led the men towards the town gate.

Kong Ling was in unspeakable pain, and his legs were so painful that he said nothing, frowning and following closely behind the man’s horse.As Fei Sheng expected, they did not stay in the town and quickly left the town, with the man leading the way around.

“Sir, please be patient for a few more hours,” the man shouted while riding his horse, looking back, “We can reach the gates of Cizhou City before dawn!”

Kong Ling gasped and nodded, and said: “I think there are forks in the roads around here. You guys can’t catch up even if you want to.”

“But the rain has stopped, sir,” said the man, who had very good endurance and didn’t even take a breath during the whole journey. “Our traces can no longer be covered, and we will definitely catch up faster!”

Kong Ling pulled the robe on his knees, gritted his teeth and said, “Run! Hero, let’s keep running! As long as we reach the gate of Cizhou City, we can avert danger.”

Having said that, once you leave the official road, the road is very muddy.The horse’s hooves got stuck in the mud and could no longer run at its original speed.The two of them walked hard. Kong Ling looked at the man’s back and said with emotion: “Thanks to the strong man’s help this time, when we arrive in Cizhou, if the strong man insists on returning to Lei Changming’s tent, I will choose the best horse for him.”

The man smiled heartily and said: “Sir, you are very talented, and that is as it should be. I am a martial artist, I only know how to fight and kill. Some things have to be done by a scholar like you. I admire you very much, and I am very satisfied with my trip tonight.”

Kong Ling was greatly surprised and thought that this man was a righteous man.he With a sore nose, he thought of Shen Zechuan who had defected before the battle. He couldn’t help wiping his eyes with his sleeves and said, “There are still good men like strong men in Zhongbo. Why worry about not having a chance to revitalize in the future! I don’t know what to call a strong man?”

The man looked back and said, “My name is Popo. It’s an indecent name and I shouldn’t be heard by you sir. My parents are both responsible people, and they live on a few acres of land at home. There was a drought the year I was born, so my father gave me this name.”

Kong Ling hurriedly said: “Brother Bopo is a righteous man, his name is just a temporary title, it sounds good to me!”

It was too dark and Kong Ling could not see the way forward clearly.I wonder if the path Popo took was too hidden, but there were really no pursuers behind him.Kong Ling beat his thigh. After looking up at the sky several times, he finally saw the subtle morning light on the horizon and the Cizhou City Wall at the end.

“Sir,” Popo suddenly pulled Kong Ling’s horse and took Kong Ling with him to plan the trip, “ask the general to open the door. Let’s go to see Mr. Zhou now!”

The two of them ran out of the path, broke through puddles, and arrived at the foot of Cizhou City.Kong Ling hugged the horse’s neck, exhausted. He smoothed his beard, raised his head and shouted hoarsely: “It’s me!”

A head appeared on the wall. When a general saw Kong Ling, he was shocked and said, “Mr. Cheng Feng!”

“Hurry up and invite the adults!” Kong Ling shook his legs and got off the horse, handing the reins to Bo Po, “Just say I’m back!”

“Open the city gate directly,” Popo said, “Sir, then-”

Kong Ling nodded in agreement and gasped.He bent over and supported his knees, and said with a wry smile: “Please wait for me to wait for a while. We will enter the city immediately. Only by meeting the Lord can we avoid your suspicion. Otherwise, the city will delay the interrogation.”

Not long after, Zhou Gui came in a hurry. He saw Kong Ling from above and immediately said, “Cheng Feng, what’s going on? Hurry, open the door!”

The city gate made a dull sound, and several soldiers lifted the crossbar from inside and pushed the gate open.The light of morning light came from the gap. Kong Ling wiped his sweat and stepped in first.Behind the city gate was a horse track. Zhou Gui hurriedly got off the city wall and led his people to the front of the horse track, hoping to meet Kong Ling.

Unexpectedly, Kong Ling, who was walking in front, suddenly changed his expression and shouted: “Close the door!”

The soldiers behind who were still pushing against the city gate were startled. In the blink of an eye, the pouring water had erupted.He grabbed Kong Ling by the collar and dragged him back quickly.Unexpectedly, Kong Ling staggered and half-knelt on the ground, dragged his body, waved his hand and shouted at Zhou Gui: “This man is cheating! Zhou Gui, ask people to shoot arrows, don’t let him go!”

Zhou Gui had already taken a step forward and shouted: “Get he!”

The originally docile horse suddenly neighed, turned around, and trampled over the soldier at the top of the gate.Popo jumped onto his horse, and the horse immediately ran out of the city gate.He actually grabbed Kong Ling with one hand, causing Kong Ling’s whole body to hang half on the side of the saddle, his legs and feet rubbing against the ground, and he was dragged out.

What a strength!

This kind of strength will never be inferior to Xiao Chiye’s.

Kong Ling struggled to get away from the rapid drag, and his back hit the iron buckle on the side of the saddle. The impact made him almost unable to breathe, and his thin chest seemed to be penetrated.He was forced to look at the sky, struggling with his arms and legs under the increasingly tightening force, and said: “Zhou Gui… shoot… shoot the arrow! This person has backup!”

An irritated “tsk” sound came from Piao Po’s lips, and he suddenly strangled Kong Ling and lifted him up. He said loudly to the soldiers pouring out of the city gate: “Fire the arrow! Zhou Gui, let go! Let’s see who dies first, me or Mr. Cheng Feng!”

Zhou Gui, a civil servant, pushed away the guards in the sudden change and shouted: “Stop!”

Kong Ling’s face turned red from being strangled, and he picked at his collar with his fingers.Popo leaned his head closer and said with a smile: “Sir, you are so perceptive. Didn’t you still regard me as a righteous man along the way? Why did you turn against me and stop recognizing others?”

“Tantai and Tantailong’s soldiers!” Kong Ling gasped and said with difficulty, “They are all from the three or three states in the east, and none of them are familiar with the roads of Cizhou!”

Popo laughed loudly, and Anju immediately said: “I see, sir, you are so powerful, and you acted so sincerely just now. But since I have arrived in Cizhou, do you think that you can trick me into the city gate and kill me?”

He tilted his head and spat hard.

“It’s too late!”

Having said that, I saw the disappearing pursuers coming from behind. Although they did not have the uniform armor of the regular army, their numbers were terrifying.They were dressed in various colors of clothing, holding swords, and drove their horses through the forest to plunder grass and rushed straight out. Kong Ling could not even see the end of the mountain.

“A few months ago, I asked Lei Changming to tell you that we wanted food. But you put the Forbidden Army into the territory and let Xiao Chiye occupy my granary.” Lei Jingzhe threw Kong Ling to the ground, reined in the horse that turned around, and signaled to Zhou Gui,”Do you think you can scare me away by relying on Xiao Chiye’s 20,000 forbidden troops? I have asked people to come to persuade you to surrender many times, but you have refused to give me an answer! Zhou Gui, you are now a rebel party that supports the rebels. Today I am bloodbathing Cizhou to eliminate harm for the people!”

When Zhou Gui looked at the more than 10,000 people, his heart was already half cold.He was even a little dizzy. He hurriedly supported the person next to him and squeezed out the words between his teeth: “I can open a warehouse to provide food, but you can’t hurt the people of Cizhou!”

Lei Jingzhe whipped his horse whip, and the bandits behind him laughed loudly.He’s horse hooves stepped on Kong Ling, and those people surrounded Kong Ling and drove Kong Ling to climb.Lei Jingzhe pointed his horsewhip at Kong Ling on the ground and said, “I am the master now and you are the guest. Whether you open it or not, this granary is already mine! I took my brothers home for dinner. Damn it, you actually negotiate terms with me?”

Zhou Gui staggered a few steps and said angrily: “We in Cizhou have already filled half the granary for you Luoshan bandits during the famine last year. If not, how many people would starve to death in Luoshan Mountain! For this reason, you can’t let the people of Cizhou go?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lei Jingzhe suddenly changed his face and said coldly, “I asked Lei Changming to pay for last year’s grain.”

Yes, Lei Changming did pay for last year’s grain, but he bought half a warehouse of good rice in Cizhou at the low price of brown rice. If the money was really calculated, it was not even enough to send Cizhou to beg for food.

Zhou Gui was so shocked by his shamelessness that he couldn’t breathe. He beat his chest and said, “You! Are you still human?! You can’t even think of entering the city today!”

Lei Jingzhe’s patience was exhausted. He knew that Lei Changming would not be able to hide it for too long. The imperial army was probably already on the way, so he lowered his voice and said, “Zhou Gui, I just want to enter the city for a few days. Do you have to hit the stone with an egg?!”

Kong Ling hunched his waist tremblingly in the mud and let out a sneer. He waved his sleeves, pointed at Lei Jingzhe, and yelled: “How many days can you play? How can you control people in the city? Once Lei Changming comes, more than a dozen of Cizhou’s daughters will die! Bah! You are obviously a rotten man, why are you pretending to be a benevolent and righteous teacher! Letting you enter the city today will mean death. Why don’t we, the people of Cizhou, fight and die together!”

The riding whip from behind hit Kong Ling hard on his back, causing his skin and flesh to rip open.Kong Ling originally thought he could capture this person at the city gate, but unexpectedly the other party’s soldiers and horses followed closely behind him.He knew very well that trusting others this time had brought great disaster to Cizhou, so he fell to the ground and vomited in grief.

Lei Jingzhe ran out on horseback and led his men straight towards Zhou Gui, saying: “Surge into the city and wait until the court appoints us. We will be the Cizhou garrison to drive out the traitors for the court!”

Zhou Gui saw the hummer charging straight forward, its countless blades reflecting the morning light behind him.He didn’t know where the strength came from. He knew he couldn’t do anything, but he still opened his arms and shouted: “I can’t let you enter the city even if I die today!”

The sun shines through the clouds in the sky, and the golden light can be seen rolling over the waves, breaking through the darkness like a raging wave.Zhou Gui opened his eyes and saw the blade hitting his face.At this moment, an ear-painful sound of pulling strings came from nowhere, and the “clang” sound vibrated, fiercely bringing out strong winds close to the ground, and an arrow shot straight at Lei Jingzhe’s head!

Overlord’s bow stood motionless in the wind, and Xiao Chiye kept drawing the bow amid the shocked eyes of those around him.He turned the bone between his thumbs, revealing the sharp and solemn eyes behind the strings.
