Chapter 42
Tian Zang had a vague feeling that something was not right, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.
Sometimes, people's sixth sense is quite accurate.
As the person who licked the blood from the knife edge, Tian Zang secretly cheered up and looked at Guan Ying opposite him carefully.
When he was about five or six steps away from Guan Ying, Tian Zang stopped and asked, "Can you see clearly now?"
"Can't see clearly!" Guan Ying shook his head.
At this distance, he couldn't make a sneak attack, and Tian Zang was no weakling, but at this distance, the dog was enough to support him until he drew his weapon.
Once the battle turns into a dogfight, it's not the result he wants.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Tian Zang asked warily.
"Don't take anything!" Guan Ying's heart tightened, and he quietly used force to stab the sword into the ground a little, then put the hilt of the sword on his buttocks, and then calmly raised his hands high to signal himself.
Nothing was taken.
"Why do you appear here?" Tian Zang asked cautiously.
This is still some distance from Aocang, and more importantly, it is the only place to retreat to Chen County, the capital of Zhang Chu Kingdom.
Just as he was retreating, Wang Buxu suddenly sent a large army to block his way back.
How can Tian Zang not be suspicious of this?
"I should be asking you this, right? Shouldn't you be attacking Xingyang? Why are you here suddenly?" Guan Ying said.
"Are you spying on our army?" Tian Zang frowned, feeling angry in his heart.
"No! The scouts have come to report that Zhang Han's army is west of Luoyang and will arrive in Xingyang in the near future. We are ordered to maneuver south. After Zhang Han's army enters the Xingyang battlefield, we will cut off its food routes. We just happened to march here, but we just happened to
When I met your subordinate, the young master and the fake king treated each other as brothers. Your subordinate took hundreds of thousands of stones, food and grass from the young master, and now he ran away without even saying hello. Is this how the fake king treats his brothers?" Guan Ying began.
How can I tell you?
Tian Zang couldn't help but feel nervous, secretly planning to do something bad.
Of course he knew how they got their food and grass. He didn't bring much with him at the beginning of the expedition, he just rushed to Aocang to get it.
It's a pity that idiot Zhou Li made a mess of things. Later Wu Guang sent many people there, but they couldn't get a good look.
In the end, Wu Guang came forward in person and was rejected by Wang Buxu twice. Only then did he gradually get the grain from Wang Buxu.
The shameless news of taking people's food and running away secretly must not be spread, otherwise Zhang Chu's reputation will be ruined.
"The false king was recalled by King Chen. I, the general, led the army back on the order of King Chen. As for the issue of food and grass, King Chen asked your ministry to send an envoy to Chendu to discuss..."
"Really?" Guan Ying pretended to be calm, but he was constantly thinking of countermeasures in his heart.
He had to use this method to gradually get closer to Tian Zang.
At least the distance should be controlled within two or three steps, so that you can be absolutely sure of a fatal blow.
But now it seems that the situation seems to be a little beyond my imagination.
Tian Zang was so defensive that he didn't give himself any chance.
Finally, he quietly moved forward a little, and when he looked around, Tian Zang was also ready to retreat.
There is even a hand quietly placed on the hilt of the sword, and as long as there is any movement, the sword can be drawn out at any time.
It seems that the only option is to attack by force!
Guan Ying quietly looked at another dark figure about ten steps away, silently counting the time in his heart.
'Hey, you are so careless! If the young master is here, he will definitely arrange an ambush in advance. In this way, as long as Tian Zang dares to come out, he will have no chance of survival. Compared with the young master's resourcefulness, I am still a bit immature...'
Wang Buxu: ‘Am I so shameless?’
"The fake king once agreed with the young master that they would advance and retreat together and exchange news. If your ministry is doing this now, doesn't it mean that you don't take the agreement seriously?" Guan Ying asked with a little anger in his tone.
Tian Zang naturally felt the change in Guan Ying's attitude.
Maybe, the other party didn't meet by chance at all?
But deliberately waiting for yourself here?
But if that's the case, that would be terrible.
He had just killed Wu Guang this afternoon. He led his troops to retreat in just half a day. How far had they gone?
And according to this timeline, they had already set off before they took action?
'Damn it, Wu Guang must have angered Wang Buxu two days ago, and that's why Wang Buxu decided to send troops.'
Tian Zang cursed Wu Guang secretly in his heart, even digging a hole for himself before he died.
Tian Zang couldn't think of any reasonable reason to explain all this except that Wu Guang made Wang Buxung angry.
And at that moment when Tian Zang was stunned, Guan Ying moved.
These days, if you have money, you will have food. Having food means you are strong.
Not powerful in terms of status, but powerful in all aspects.
Ordinary poor people cannot afford to eat, let alone eat well.
In this case, all body functions cannot keep up with the needs, and the most direct manifestations are weight loss and an abnormal complexion, which are typical symptoms of malnutrition.
Including Tian Zang, none of them were wealthy people. They gradually became mixed up after following Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the uprising.
However, the nutrients the body needs cannot be replenished in a short time.
But Guan Ying didn't have to worry about this. After doing business all year round, he would naturally be able to eat well.
The two of them were standing together now, and it could be clearly seen that Guan Ying was stronger than Tian Zang.
Although both of them had good intentions, the bomb that Guan Ying suddenly threw earlier still made Tian Zang's reaction a little slow.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guan Ying directly drew the sword behind him and rushed towards Tian Zang in three steps and two steps at a time.
Seeing Guan Ying's sudden attack, Tian Zang was stunned for a moment. He didn't even have time to curse and quickly drew his sword.
But in this case, time is measured in seconds. If Tian Zang is on high alert from the beginning of the fight and draws his sword when Guan Ying starts, there may be some chance.
When he pulled out the sword, Guan Ying was already only four steps away from him, and when he pulled out the sword, Guan Ying's sword could chop off his head.
Seeing that he had lost the opportunity, Guan Ying's sword was also slashing towards his head.
Tian Zang subconsciously lowered his head, but the movement could not be faster than the sword. Guan Ying used his greatest strength to swing the sword out. According to the current situation, there was a high probability that the sword would directly hit Tian Zang's ear.
A little above.
Your head is your head, no matter where you cut it, no one can keep you.
Subconsciously, Tian Zang stretched out his left hand holding the scabbard to block it.
‘Click…’
The collision of the iron sword and the bone, a dull sound, represents the victory of the iron sword.
Bones are sometimes very hard and sometimes very fragile.
Tian Zang's left hand was instantly covered with blood, leaving only a layer of skin hanging on his chopped off forearm.
