Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 3: Lianshan
"Thank you very much, my benefactor. If it were not for my benefactor, my father and daughter would..."
The rescued father and daughter began to express their gratitude to Tang Jingcheng, while Zhang Tianliu looked on with a sneer.
"No need to be polite, this is my duty."
Tang Jingcheng was already accustomed to handling this kind of situation. With just a few words, he aroused the admiration of the father and daughter as high as possible, especially for the delicate little beauty. They wished they could strip themselves naked and throw themselves into the arms of Officer Tang.
Although in the eyes of father and daughter, Tang Jingcheng's strange clothes and short hair could not stop his strong charm.
He has a cold and handsome appearance and a resolute expression with an unsmiling expression. He is not only handsome, but also extremely cool.
Before the introduction was finished, Zhang Tianliu, who couldn't stand it anymore, said hurriedly: "That's enough, that's enough. Is it over yet? If you don't leave, I'll leave."
Before Tang Jingcheng spoke, the little beauty was unhappy. She glared at Zhang Tianliu and shouted, "You little thief, you have fallen into the hands of Brother Tang and you still dare to make noise."
"Niao..." Zhang Tianliu was so angry that he was speechless for a moment, and then sneered: "Rentang Shenzao is a person with a family background. His wife and children are still waiting at home, so you have no chance."
The little beauty rolled her eyes at Zhang Tianliu and said: "So what, as long as I like to be a concubine, it doesn't matter. I am happy when I think of Brother Tang enjoying the blessings of everyone, but you have to spend your time in prison. This is the fate of evil people like you!”
"Ha!" Zhang Tianliu sneered: "I am evil, but I don't necessarily think you are good. It is impossible for people to hunt you down for no reason. Aren't you businessmen? Alas, there are nine out of ten businessmen. , they are just playing tricks, peeling off human skin, cannibalizing human flesh, drinking human blood, and licking human bones, so you won’t do it?”
The little beauty was so angry that she was shaking all over. Just when she was about to retort, Tang Jingcheng suddenly came forward and said: "Okay, it's not a good time to stay here for a long time. I don't know where you two live. How about I **** you two home first?"
"Yes, yes, thank you, Knight Tang. Time is urgent and my daughter should pack up quickly." The wealthy businessman finally found the opportunity to speak, and quickly asked the little beauty to rummage through the wreckage of the beast cart for her luggage.
The rich businessman was so frightened by what happened earlier that he just took out a small box from the wreckage of the beast's cart when he turned around and fell. The box fell down and gold bars fell out.
The little beauty exclaimed and hurriedly ran over to help her father up. Tang Jingcheng silently walked to the side and knelt down to collect the gold bars all over the floor, put them in a box and returned them to the wealthy businessman. During this period, he did not show a trace of greed, which made Tang Jingcheng's whole person Just like the embodiment of justice, the nemesis of evil, and a role model for the people, his full positive energy brought tears to the eyes of the father and daughter.
Zhang Tianliu found a water bag nearby and drank heavily, dismissing the touching scene.
The beast cart can no longer be used. Fortunately, the brown-haired poodle is as big as an elephant and is over ten feet long. It can carry four or five people without any problem. It is faster than the beast cart. Unfortunately, it cannot block the arrows. Otherwise, the father and daughter would have died. Abandon the car and ride on the dog.
The little beauty sat in the front holding a small box, her father held the luggage and sat behind her, and then there was Tang Jingcheng and Zhang Tianliu at the end.
On the back of the dog, the father and daughter began to introduce themselves.
The father's name is Zhao Yongdang, a businessman from Lianshan City in Luxi County, which shows that Zhang Tianliu guessed right.
The daughter's name is Zhao Anxiao. The father and daughter encountered robbers on their business trip half a day ago. The gangsters were outnumbered and the caravan guards were outnumbered. They fought desperately to find a **** way for the Zhao family and daughter to escape.
After chatting all the way, after passing through a bamboo forest, it was only at sunset that we saw the Lianshan City mentioned by the father and daughter.
Lianshan City is located between two mountains, with towering mountains on the left and right. The front mountain walls are steep and mostly cliffs, which are difficult to climb and stretch endlessly with no end in sight. The city wall was built along the mountain pass. The bluestone wall was more than thirty feet high and connected the two mountains on the left and right. It was like the majestic Shuikou Dam, blocking the way out of the mountain pass.
It is said to be a city, but in fact it is more like a checkpoint built according to the geographical location. Troops are stationed here, but one man can guard the gate and ten thousand people cannot open it.
Entering the city is a bit cumbersome. There are well-dressed officers and soldiers guarding the city. Pedestrians queuing up to enter the city have to go through three inspections. Fortunately, Zhao Yongdang is also a famous person in the city, so he can easily enter the city in a few words.
Lianshan City is beautiful at dusk. The pavilions and pavilions in the setting sun are rendered golden. The bluestone paved roads in the city and the main road are wide. It is quite like the grand scenes of the Tang Dynasty in movies and TV series.
This place is full of pedestrians and giant beasts.
However, the giant beasts are generally docile, do not bark or make any noise, and behave in a well-behaved manner when pulling cars and carrying people.
"Brother Tang, have you ever been to Lianshan?" Zhao Anxiao, who was riding in front, turned around and asked with a smile.
Tang Jingcheng shook his head and said: "Does passing by count?"
Zhao Anxiao smiled and said: "Brother Tang is busy with official duties, so he passed by and had a quick glance. Of course, that doesn't count. Later, An Xiao will take Brother Tang to take a good tour of our Lianshan City and appreciate the beauty of our mountains."
Tang Jingcheng smiled but said nothing, seeming to acquiesce.
Unlike before, Zhang Tianliu watched all this silently, without asking a word from beginning to end. His face was uncertain as the lanterns in the pavilions on both sides were rising, and at this moment, a hand quietly clasped his wrist.
It was Tang Jingcheng who caught him behind his back to prevent him from escaping.
Such an environment is perfect for Zhang Tianliu to escape from trouble. He knows it well, and Tang Jingcheng, who has been hunting him for six years, knows it even better!
The several mistakes were made in such an environment, even if Tang Jingcheng was already a very ordinary person, he would not dare to be careless.
If Zhang Tianliu is allowed to escape, in this ancient society, let alone arrest, whether he can find Zhang Tianliu depends on luck.
Zhang Tianliu smiled slightly, leaned into Tang Jingcheng's ear and said, "It's too ambiguous, Officer Tang, Miss An Xiao is going to be jealous!"
"Shut up." Tang Jingcheng was not afraid of what Zhang Tianliu would say, but he was afraid of letting others hear him.
Feeling the terror of Tang Jingcheng's grip, Zhang Tianliu became honest.
You cannot ride an animal if you are off the main road. This is a rule in the city. Fortunately, the Zhao Mansion is not far from the main road. The four people and one dog arrived at the Zhao family's mansion with a wide courtyard within a short walk.
After learning that the master had returned to the house, dozens of people poured out of the Zhao Mansion. Men, women, old and young crowded around them, and there were servants leading a brown-haired poodle around to the side door.
From the nervous questioning of this group of people, it was clear that the news that the caravan encountered robbers had spread, and Zhang Tian's teeth were aching at the various inquiries.
"Brother Tang, just lock this little thief in the woodshed. An Xiao will order someone to guard him, so that Brother Tang can have a good rest." While Zhao Yongdang was comforting his family, Zhao Anxiao suggested to Tang Jingcheng .
The little girl is lively and charming. She is wearing a pink skirt and is as delicate as a peach blossom in March. When she looks at Tang Jingcheng, her fair and fair face with a slight blush is full of admiration. It seems that Tang Jingcheng only needs a word to tell her what to do tonight. She was so bewildered that the Zhao family was stunned. When had Miss Curious ever had such an attitude? Who is this cold and handsome man in front of me? The lady favors her so much.
Tang Jingcheng did not appreciate it and waved his hand: "There is no need to trouble Miss An Xiao. This person is extraordinary. Don't be deceived by his appearance."
"He is extraordinary..." Zhao Anxiao glanced at Zhang Tianliu, holding back a smile in his mouth and full of contempt in his eyes.
Zhang Tianliu flipped up his bangs and said proudly: "No matter how handsome I am, I can't be more handsome than when I'm full. Miss An Xiao, do you want to see me?"
On the way to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, Zhang Tianliu ate some dry food brought by Zhao Yongdang, which was kindly passed on by police officer Rentang. The Zhao family did not want to waste the food on him at all.
Zhao Anxiao snorted disdainfully, grabbed Tang Jingcheng's arm and pulled him towards the Zhao mansion.
When the food and wine were ready, the Zhao family naturally wanted to invite Tang Jingcheng to sit down, but Tang Jingcheng refused, because he had to keep an eye on Zhang Tianliu at all times. If Zhang Tianliu, a little thief, also sat down, who in the Zhao family could swallow it?
So Tang Jingcheng checked into the guest room on the pretext of being tired and asked the Zhao family to bring food, so Zhang Tianliu was naturally forced to stay in the same room with him.
After dinner, Tang Jingcheng, who was standing by the window and looking out of the house through the gap, suddenly said coldly: "If you keep telling me lies, I seriously suspect that you are suspected of escaping. You know the consequences very well."
Zhang Tianliu smiled bitterly.
The person who knows you best is often your opponent.
It was a lie that he and Zhao Anxiao were angry before, but the cliché was true.
He can grasp a lot of information from it. It is difficult to judge the whole world. The current lifestyle in this area is similar to that of the ancient Han people, the Celestial Kingdom, three wives and four concubines, punishments and prisons, and the current form of businessmen. The cultural differences are not the same. Not big. There are many things that Zhang Tianliu can use, but he needs more information.
Unfortunately, his purpose could not be hidden from Tang Jingcheng.
Tang Jingcheng could even guess Zhang Tianliu's next steps, and began to find out the details of the Zhao family, and then used the greedy nature of the businessman to help him escape from himself.
Zhang Tianliu, who was laying the floor, smiled lightly and said: "I don't believe you can't see that this father and daughter are not simple. Although they didn't witness the scene of the caravan being robbed, it was so tragic to fight to the death. They died. You can still talk and laugh, which shows how cheap human life is in this world."
This is what Tang Jingcheng is afraid of about Zhang Tianliu!
He will capture many details to infer the nature of others to commit crimes or abscond.
