Chapter 45 Interception
In the early morning, a caravan meanders along the official road outside Liangzhou City. This is a caravan going from Liangzhou to Yizhou. Even if the war continues, people still have to eat.
Ji Liang was in one of the carriages. He raised the curtain and turned to the man sitting on the other side with a smile, "Look, fifth, we are back inside the pass. You are always not used to the food from the Western Regions, and now you don't have to bear it anymore." gone."
However, he didn't get a response, the fifth child's eyes were lowered, his eyes were empty, no matter what Ji Liang said, he didn't respond.
Ji Liang held the hand of the fifth child, and smiled sadly: "When your injury heals, we will go back to Qinling to live in seclusion, and we won't bother you about anything."
Lao Wu's fingers trembled, as if he understood Ji Liang's words, but it seemed that it was just because the carriage was bumping.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Ji Liang turned around and opened the curtain, only to find that someone had blocked the caravan.
The shopkeeper was talking to the person who stopped the caravan: "Where are you from? This is a caravan specially approved by the young master to travel between Liangzhou and Yizhou."
It was a tall and thin young man who stood up and answered: "Shopkeeper, we are just here to find someone."
When Ji Liang saw someone approaching, he knew he couldn't escape, so he got off the station and came out: "Shopkeeper, they are here to find me."
Seeing Ji Liang's appearance, the leader of the fourth child nodded at him: "Third brother."
Lao Ba and Thirteen also bowed to Ji Liang: "Third brother."
Ji Liang turned around and smiled at the shopkeeper: "They are my acquaintances, let's talk about something, shopkeeper, you can lead the team and leave first."
At first, looking at the posture of these three people, the shopkeeper thought they were looking for trouble. Ji Liang was a customer that Mr. Han entrusted them to take care of.
But when he heard these three called Ji Liang "Third Brother", he became confused again, now that Ji Liang said so, he decided to do as Ji Liang said: "Okay, we will wait for you at the intersection ahead. "
Ji Liang deliberately avoided involving the innocent, but the fourth child did not stop him, and took the eighth and tenth to the side of the road, waiting for the caravan to pass.
After the caravan is far away, they can talk about business. This time it was the fourth child who spoke, his voice was still hoarse and ugly: "Second Master doesn't want you to enter the customs."
Xu Yan's original words were that if Ji Liang had been outside the customs, he would still be able to die as Ji Liang, but if he appeared within his eyes and ears, he couldn't help but make his life worse than death.
"Please go back to the Western Regions."
Ji Liang slowly shook his head: "I'll come back this time, I won't run away again." He said as he grasped the dagger at his waist.
In the past, he didn't want to fight with his respected master, the second child he grew up with, and the younger generations he had personally taught, so he fled to the Western Regions to be alone.
But later he discovered that evasion could not end the karma of evil, but instead brought misfortune to the person he wanted to protect.
Now, he won't run away again.
Faced with Ji Liang's offensive posture, the fourth child did not take precautions: "You have taught me martial arts, so I don't want to fight with you."
Ji Liang laughed lightly: "There are so many things in this world that people don't want to do, so why not do them?"
Seeing that the fight was unavoidable, the fourth child also put on a posture: "Then, in order to win, I will not fight you one-on-one."
"Also, we already know that the fifth child is still alive. If you lose the battle, he will be the next to die. He didn't kill you. He disappeared for eight years after failing the mission. This is a felony."
If these words hit Ji Liang's head like a thunderbolt, his expression was shaken for a moment.
He didn't expect that he would be discovered by the organization after he tried so hard to hide.
Even if Ji Liang stood in front of him, the fourth brother did not have any secrets about asking the fifth child, because it was unnecessary, and the motive would not change the result and punishment in the slightest.
Ji Liang also understood this rule.
This is the organization, and there is no pity for those who have given their blood. They will die if they are not qualified, they will die if they fail, or they will die if they are useless. It is like disposing of a tool that has been worn out due to overuse.
However, out of selfishness, the fourth child said something out of the process: "In fact, he can live—if you die."
If Ji Liang is willing to commit suicide in order to protect Lao Wu, then Lao Wu's mission will not be regarded as a failure, and the judgment will also change.
The fourth child then added: "I'll take him back, and the second master will find someone to cure him."
He felt that his opinion was very pertinent, and his friendship with Ji Liang was far inferior to that of the second master or the fifth child from the same batch. If Ji Liang was willing to die, then the second master's heart would be settled, and the fifth child would survive.
Ji Liang replied: "Your opinion is good, but I refuse."
His current life was brought back by the fifth child, and he would never hand it over easily.
So now it's just a fight.
There is no doubt that Ji Liang is the most powerful person in the organization except for the boss. The three people present have all been taught by him, and he is also very familiar with their martial arts.
The kung fu list of Lao Ba and Thirteen is not worthy of Ji Liang's attention. They are also very clear about their position, and they are only assisting Lao Si to interfere with Ji Liang's offense and defense.
The fourth child is a martial arts prodigy second only to the boss and Ji Liang in the organization. After all these years, his progress has surprised Ji Liang. Every time Ji Liang's attack falls on the fourth child, he feels like he has touched a diamond.
Today's fourth child, even if he fights alone with Ji Liang, is not much different.
But for stability, he brought two more people with him.
Ji Liang knew that he would lose after a long battle, so in a group battle, he naturally picked the weaker ones.
He attacked Lao Ba and Thirteen first, but now the situation does not allow him to be merciful, and he took Thirteen's life as soon as he made a move. Lao Ba resisted a few moves, but he was quickly defeated and fell to the ground and died.
But because of this, Ji Liang also exposed his empty door, suffered four tricks, broke four ribs, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
For the death of his companion, the fourth brother didn't have any feelings of mourning. The secret guards were selected in many batches, and the friendship between the people after the seventh child and him was already very weak.
He was just surprised by Ji Liang's strength.
The second master always hoped that he would catch up with the third brother and replace the third brother, so he always aimed at Ji Liang.
This is the first time he has seen Ji Liang attack with all his strength. Ji Liang has neglected martial arts for so many years, and he can kill Lao Ba and Shisan under his full attack with one attack. Apart from the accident, he is also very impressed with his and Ji Liang's talents. Gaps feel frustrated.
However, this doesn't mean that he doesn't have the strength to fight against Ji Liang. The gap in talent can be made up by hard work and hard work.
After hundreds of moves, the two still failed to kill each other, but they both suffered a lot of injuries.
Many bones in Ji Liang's body were shattered, and it hurt even to move, but the fourth child was also covered in blood, and his right hand was the most severely injured. Apart from the visible bones, he also injured his meridians, so he couldn't continue to attack.
The old four's previous self-confidence was gone. Although Ji Liang looked even more miserable, but the old four knew that he did not cause any damage to him that could substantially reduce his strength. On the contrary, it was Ji Liang who abolished his right hand.
If this fight continues, he will lose.
If possible, he certainly hoped that he could defeat Ji Liang or be defeated by Ji Liang.
But his meager warrior glory was far behind the second master's mission, so he began to delay the time, and at the same time, he hoped that the unreliable guy would act faster.
Ji Liang noticed the delay of the fourth child, he was afraid of being late, he would change, and wanted to force the fourth child to compete with him, but when he got close to the fourth child.
A gloomy laugh sounded behind him: "Third brother, I caught a ghost."
Ji Liang followed the sound and saw Lao Qi with a sullen face. He was holding Lao Wu who was supposed to be taken away by the shopkeeper, and placed a dagger that was dripping blood on Lao Wu's neck.
Ji Liang was distracted, but behind him, the fourth child didn't stop, he hit Ji Liang's vest with an elbow, Ji Liang spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered forward, and fell to the ground.
……
This morning, Zhao Ji got up with two dark circles under his eyes.
Han Zhao sat up from the bed, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Ji who was like a panda. He was startled: "You -- have you been digging coal?"
Zhao Ji felt bitter and couldn't tell. Digging coal was easier than lying in the same bed with Han Zhao but being unable to do anything.
Last night, he was lying on the bed, his breath was full of Han Zhao's smell, and Han Zhao's temperature was around him. Every cell in him was excited, and if he fell asleep, he would be a ghost.
God knows how hard he tried last night to restrain himself from losing his composure.
It wasn't until dawn that Zhao Ji's exhaustion overwhelmed his excitement and fell asleep.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Ji to say these things. After Han Zhao got up, he turned his head and fell down on the seat where Han Zhao's body temperature was still there. After rubbing against him, he sighed, "Master, I'll sleep a little longer, and I won't have breakfast."
Hearing what Zhao Ji said, Han Zhao didn't care about him anymore, washed up and left the house.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Han Zhao met Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan greeted Han Zhao with blessings: "Grandfather."
Han Zhao nodded: "Yes."
Wen Yuan looked up at the study room: "Has General Zhao gotten up yet?"
She knew that the place where she lived was cleaned out from Zhao Ji's room, so she thought that Zhao Ji had gone to the study.
Han Zhao nodded: "Yes. He didn't sleep well last night, so don't wait for him."
Wen Yuan is quite sensitive to words, and she blinked when she heard this.Didn't sleep well last night?How did Engong know?
But she didn't pay much attention to this detail, and went to the living room with Han Zhao to have breakfast.
Wen Yuan didn't eat much. After eating only half a steamed bun and half a bowl of porridge, she put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and begged timidly, "Grandpa, I want to go out and buy something later."
Han Zhao did not agree to her request, but only replied, "It's chaotic outside, just tell Aunt Qin what you need, and she will buy it for you."
Wen Yuan froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
After Han Zhao finished his breakfast, Zhao Ji got up listlessly.He walked out of Han Zhao's room, leaned the gun against the wall, stood at the door, yawned and straightened his clothes.
After tidying up his clothes, Zhao Ji took his gun and turned to Han Zhao who was still sitting in the main room and shouted, "Master, I'm going to the barracks."
Han Zhao threw two wrapped steamed buns to him: "Go."
And Wen Yuan, who was sitting by the side, looked at Zhao Ji and then at Han Zhao, with indescribable eyes.
Is this what Eun Gong meant when he said "he didn't sleep well"?
The author has something to say: Wen Yuan: Why did you throw me between two homosexuals?What did i do wrong?
Two halves: I think it's your rotten eyes looking at Renji.
Wen Yuan: Aren't they a couple?
Two halves: Hey.
Ji Liang: Then what did I do wrong?
Two halves: Your flags are full, making me feel like I can't do anything.You said you were fine, why did you go home and marry a wife?Oh, I'm sorry, I read it wrong, it's a seclusion.
Ji Liang: ... Blame me?
