Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh old acquaintance
"General Huang, fortunately you have lived up to your command!"
As soon as he saw Huang Ren, Zeng Xing immediately rode his horse to rush forward, passed the crowd and came to Huang Ren. When he handed over his hand, he spoke with great enthusiasm.
He thought he had done a good job in this matter.
As for Huang Ren, long before Zeng Xing came back, he thought he had received reports from the messengers who had returned first. Although he had not witnessed the battle between Zeng Xing and Tang Feng, he knew it in great detail.
.
Hearing this, he also nodded to Zeng Xing, his expression finally softened a lot, and he was no longer as angry as before.
Then, Tang Feng Zhang Li's troops, surrounded by Zeng Xing's troops, also slowly moved closer.
Huang Ren winked, and someone immediately rushed over and brought Tang Feng and Zhang Li closer.
Since the two of them had made a decision with Zeng Xing, there was no need to be pretentious at this moment. They immediately came to Huang Ren, looked at each other, and said to Huang Ren, "I have met General Huang."
On the way back, Zeng Xing naturally gave a brief introduction to the two of them and knew that this person was their supreme commander here at the moment.
"Which hilltop do you belong to?"
Huang Ren was not interested in having a relationship with these two people. When Tang Feng and Zhang Li came over, he asked coldly.
These words made Tang Feng and Zhang Li tremble in their hearts, but they had already had their thoughts. Hearing this, Zhang Li took a step forward and said with a smile on his face: "To be honest, general, our brothers used to be Huang Feng Village
Yes, the leader’s surname is Huang and Liang, but he is from the same family as the general!”
"presumptuous!"
"Who is your kin?"
As soon as Huang Liang said this, before Huang Liang could do anything, the guard next to him suddenly couldn't hold himself back and pointed at Zhang Li and shouted sharply.
The words were full of disdain.
How can a bandit leader and his own general call each other family?
Zhang Li was slightly stunned and quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, the villain's words are inappropriate!"
"That's all."
Huang Ren waved his hand and said, "Huang Liang, right?"
Then with a wink, someone beside him left knowingly.
Zeng Xing felt a little uncomfortable at the time of the inversion.
He was negligent in this matter.
Previously, he had been relying on his own experience to judge whether Tang Feng and Zhang Li's troops were bandits, so that in the process of conducting a large number of verifications, he forgot to ask the other party's identity first.
You must know that they have arrested several bandit forces here long ago, and although Fengqi Province is very large, as far as the border is concerned, everyone has heard about it.
If there is any doubt about the identity of the other party, you can ask first and then confirm it with the bandits who have surrendered to them. You can always find out something.
Zeng Xing forgot such a simple step.
But this is actually not his fault.
It was actually Tang Feng and Zhang Li's repeated interference that made Zeng Xing keep focusing on the two of them, always trying to figure out the other's identity through some clues.
To put it bluntly, at that time, Zeng Xing was actually competing with Tang Feng and Zhang Li, and wanted to slap them in the face with his own probing methods.
The result was that he was deceived by the two of them and did not tell them. Instead, he forgot the most important but also the most basic things.
At this moment, Huang Ren directly brought it up, and Zeng Xing realized his dereliction of duty.
But Huang Ren didn't mean to blame Zeng Xing.
Nowadays, there are not many generals under him who are willing to do their best for him. Occasional dereliction of duty once or twice is nothing.
Besides, doesn't this just show off one's superior skills?
While winking at his subordinates, Huang Ren couldn't help but think secretly in his mind.
Not long after, the person who was sent came back, followed by a frightened, lean middle-aged man.
"Huang...General Huang, I don't know what I want to do with the young one?"
The man asked tremblingly.
Huang Ren glanced at him and recognized that he was a bandit leader who had surrendered not long ago. He was known as Wang Sanpao, but now this guy obviously couldn't fire anymore.
"Do you recognize them?"
"Ah, I..."
Only then did Wang Sanpao dare to look away from Huang Ren and look in the direction indicated by Huang Ren.
When I saw it, I was stunned for a moment.
Because he saw that the black man opposite was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Wang, are you here too?"
Zhang Li laughed, came over and patted Wang Sanpao on the shoulder very affectionately.
"Brother Zhang? It's you?"
Wang Sanpao also came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "So, the same goes for Mr. Huang..."
"It's nothing, everyone is just trying to make ends meet, right?"
Zhang Li shrugged. Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to be very open-minded. He was not as uneasy and ashamed as Wang Sanpao when he suddenly saw an acquaintance.
"Do you know each other?"
Huang Ren didn't have the patience to wait for the two to reminisce about old times, so he asked coldly from the side.
"Return to General Huang!"
Wang Sanpao was shaken, turned around quickly, and said to Huang Ren: "This man's name is Zhang Li, he is the second leader of Huangfeng Village. I had a conflict with him before, but we didn't get to know each other until we started fighting...
"
"Enough!"
Huang Ren waved his hand to interrupt.
All he needed to confirm was the identity of the other party. How could he be interested in hearing how the other party conflicted and how they got to know each other? Now that his purpose had been achieved, there was no point in listening to the two of them trembling.
When he says enough is enough, of course it is enough.
But he didn't see the flash of doubt in Wang Sanpao's eyes that occasionally glanced at Tang Feng.
He knew Zhang Li, but who was this young man?
Since this person stands with Zhang Li, his status in Huangfeng Village is naturally not low.
But I... don't seem to have heard of any other young masters in Huangfeng Village?
We all live in the same area, and we don't necessarily know everything about it, but as I just said, there will definitely be friction and fights between each other.
Therefore, Wang Sanpao knew the strength of Huangfeng Village very well.
Although Huang Liang's power was greater than his, it was not powerful enough to destroy him. Whoever in his village could be called a master was also Menqing's.
But definitely not the young man in front of me.
But just when Wang Sanpao was about to ask Zhang Li, Huang Ren shouted "Enough" and roughly interrupted what he was about to say.
How dare you say more?
Wang Sanpao shrank his neck and stood silently aside, not daring to say anything more.
It can also be seen from this that when he was ambushed and arrested by Huang Ren, he suffered a lot. Otherwise, he himself was a leader-level figure who once shocked the party. How could he be so obedient?
What Huang Ren never expected was that it was his previous high-pressure policy against Wang Sanpao and other bandit forces that caused him to lose his only chance to gain insight into the other party's suspicions.
