Chapter 65 The difference of a hair's breadth (5)

  Zheng Dahe's face turned blue with rage, he drew out his knife and pointed at Zhao Yanguan, cursing: "Zhao Yanguan, you dare to disobey? I'll kill you right now!"

  Zhao Yanguo's mixed vigor also erupted, shouting: "Come on, kill! The pants that were lost are all gone! I think you only have the skill to slaughter your own brothers!"

  Everyone saw that things were not going well, and they all came forward to hold back Zheng Dakuan and Zhao Yanguan. Zheng Dakuan shouted loudly: "Zhao Yanguan, I have this much skill, if you don't believe it, I'll chop you up!"

  At this moment, a group of rascals were making a big fuss when a team of tall horses rushed into the yard with a blue-clad soldier on top shouting: "Zheng Dakuan, Zhang Siye has rewarded you with money!"

  Zheng Dakuan and others were stunned, Zheng Dakuan blinked his eyes and asked: "Zhang Siye, is this the money you rewarded?"

  The blue-clad halberdier on horseback shouted: "Fourth Master Zhang has always been clear in rewards and punishments, and his words count! You didn't catch the person Fourth Master Zhang wanted, but you did have some merit, so this is a reward for you!" As he spoke, he tossed a money bag in front of Zheng Daquan.

  Zheng Daquan's face lit up with joy, and he hastily picked it up, weighing the amount, listening to the sound that seemed to be gold bars, and his heart was even more delighted. He loudly replied: "We will definitely remember Zhang Siye's kindness! Whatever Zhang Siye orders, we will do our best to accomplish! We won't hesitate at all!"

  Hooked soldier shouted: "Zhang Siye still has an errand for me to bring to you, listen carefully!"

  Zheng Daquan smiled and said: "Brother, please go on!"

  Hooked soldier shouted: "Zhang Siye said, you this group of people, including you Zheng Dakuan, from now on are not allowed to mix in the Northeast! If we see one of you again in the Northeast, we will kill one!"

  Zheng Daquan listened, his mouth couldn't close, and the smile on his face suddenly turned into a bitter melon face. He anxiously said: "Big brother, this, this... what's going on?!"

  Hooked soldier cold hummed twice, scolded: "You remember it's good!" Said a pull on the reins, chasing Zhang Siye's troops to the south.

  Zheng Daquan held the money bag, looking dull and stupid, while Zhao Yanguo also came over with a worried expression, asking: "Zheng Lao Da, what should we do now? Should we divide the money and disband?"

  Zheng Daquan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Damn it! If we don't make it in the Northeast, we won't make it in the Northeast! Brothers, let's also go out and become mountain kings in the mountains of Central Plains! Those who are willing to follow me, we'll share good fortune together! We'll face difficulties together! Those who don't want to go, I'll give you money to settle down and make a living!"

  Everyone was stunned, no one spoke. Liu Xingdao covered his eyes and stood beside Zheng Dakuan, saying: "Zheng Lao Da, I'll go with you! I've long wanted to be a bandit, drinking and eating meat freely!!"

  Zhao Yanguo thought for a moment and also called out: "I'm going too! This northeast region has been boring for a long time! Zheng Lao Da, I said some harsh words to you just now, let's consider it as breaking wind! Don't take it to heart!"

  Both of them expressed their opinions, and others also responded in unison, shouting: "Be a bandit! Be a bandit! Drink wine and eat meat! Drink wine and eat meat!" Everyone's face was filled with heroic spirit, all wanting to show off their skills soon.

  "Alright! Brothers, let's go! The beautiful girls of the Central Plains are waiting for us to ride, and the gold and silver treasures are waiting for us to plunder! Damn it, I, Zheng Dakuai, am tired of being a son in the Northeast! I don't believe we can't make a name for ourselves!"

  The crowd cheered and shouted with joy! More than a dozen people followed Zheng Dakuan out of the Luoma Inn, also heading south. Zhang Siye's missteps forced Zheng Dakuan to leave the Northeast and become a bandit, which ultimately led to Zheng Dakuan's future fame.

  Name!

  The fate of the numerous lives in this world is truly changing rapidly, unpredictable, and often a difference of one thought can lead to a complete reversal of fortune. Looking back at the past, it's hard not to sigh or regret what could have been done differently, or feel relieved that previous decisions were correct. But who can predict their own future fate? As a result, most people are bewildered and at a loss for what to do about their future, drifting aimlessly with the tide. And yet there are still a very few people who clearly know what they should do, just like Fire Xiaoxiao now.

  Huoxiao Zhe and his men galloped their horses, running non-stop south for over ten miles, until they reached a vast open area before stopping.

  Yan Jing Tian jumped down from his horse, bent down on the ground, listened for a moment and said: "Zhang Si and his men have arrived with a large group of horses."

  Yan Zhen shouted: "Damn it! We've come a long way, let's not hide anymore! We're all going to suffocate to death!"

  Yan Jing Tian's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he gazed into the distance and said, "I was just thinking of that!"

  Yan Zhenyi was taken aback and exclaimed: "Master Yandang, have you changed your mind?"

  Yan Shouren said somewhat nervously: "But Huo Wang has ordered..."

  Yan Jing Tian raised his hand, interrupting Yan Shou Ren's words, and said: "No need to say more, I know! Although Huo Wang repeatedly instructed us to go quickly and quietly, without making a fuss, and not to conflict with people like Zhang Si, but we lost terribly at the Luoma Inn. If it weren't for Shui Yao Er and Huo Xiao Xie, we might have been captured by Zhang Si. To be pursued relentlessly like this would only lead to trouble! And if word gets out, it will damage the reputation of my Huo family! Hmph! I've long heard that Zhang Si's Hook Array and Leopard Dog are formidable, but I'd like to meet them in person and see who's superior! Let Zhang Si understand that not all thieves can be caught just because he wants to!"

  Yan Sheng loudly shouted: "Listen to Yan Tang Zhu's!" He clenched his fists and rubbed his palms, extremely excited.

  Yan Shouren and Yan Shouyi also nodded in agreement one after another.

  Shui Yao'er and Huo Xiao Xie dismounted their horses. Shui Yao'er listened to Yan Jing Tian's decision to compete with Zhang Si, and was overjoyed. However, Huo Xiao Xie hung his head low, looking troubled.

  Yan Jing Tian didn't mind everyone's expressions and said, "Alright! I'll take full responsibility for this matter, you all can let go and do your thing! Set up the fire spear formation and wait for Zhang Si and the others to arrive! The higher the moral ground, the more sinister the magic, let them experience the ferocity of Huo Jia's thieving skills!"

  Yan Shou and Chen called out in unison, dispersing to survey the terrain.

  Yan Jing Tian turned to Shui Yao Er and Huo Xiao Xie, saying: "Thanks a lot this time! Shui Yao Er, Huo Xiao Xie, we're going to have a fierce battle with Zhang Si here, so it's not convenient for you two to stay. Why don't you go ahead first? If you head south for another hundred miles, you should reach Lianghe Town. You can wait for us there. If anything goes wrong, please rush to Shanxi. After we take care of Zhang Si, we'll meet again if fate permits."

  Shuiyao'er stuck out her tongue and laughed: "Yan Ge is worried that we'll get you into trouble if we're together!"

  Yan Jing Tian waved his hand repeatedly: "No, no, I didn't mean that. What I meant to say is that Zhang Si was too arrogant, I'll take care of him, you guys go first, it's better this way... uh, how should I put it..." Yan Jing Tian was most tongue-tied when dealing with Water Demon Girl, this poor-mouthed lass.
