The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance
Chapter 152 Greed, the Source of Evil
Behind Zhangjiabao, a winding escape route was hidden in the night.
Zhang He, the usually domineering castle lord, was now filled with fear and anxiety. He shouted at the guards carrying the box:
“Hurry up, hurry up!
If those guys catch up to you, all of you will lose your heads."
In my heart, I am secretly planning the wonderful life in the future.
"When I leave here, I will definitely buy a big house, a mansion with carved beams and painted buildings and a deep courtyard.
If I marry three wives and four concubines, all of them are as beautiful as fairies, and they accompany me every day, I can live a comfortable life.
But now, let’s get out of this damn place as soon as possible.
I don’t know where this person came from. I haven’t offended any dignitaries in my daily life.
Where on earth did this group of people come from?
Could it be…”
He didn't dare to think about it any further. His pace quickened involuntarily, and he kept urging the two guards who were carrying the box.
The lame guard named Zhang Zhixing was already panting with exhaustion. He couldn't stand Zhang He's appearance of standing and talking without any pain in his waist, so he stopped and said impatiently:
"Instead of talking there, why don't you help us carry it? This way we can leave faster."
Zhang He, whose body had long been hollowed out by alcohol and sex, was sweating profusely just from walking this distance, so how could he have the strength to lift the box?
However, his stubborn character made him unwilling to show any weakness in front of his guards.
Seeing that the two guards had expressions that showed they were determined not to move forward, he had no choice but to start painting a beautiful prospect to tempt them.
"Did you two see what was inside this box?"
Zhang He stared at the two people in front of him sharply and asked slowly.
One of the guards answered without hesitation:
"Isn't it the currency called the ocean?"
There seemed to be a hint of disdain in his tone.
Seeing this, another guard quickly echoed:
"That's right, Lord Castle Master.
It's just a piece of ocean."
His words revealed his contempt for this ocean.
Hearing the two's response, Zhang He sneered inwardly, but on the surface he pretended to be mysterious and confident, and then said openly:
"Hahahahahaha, totally wrong!
This is not just an ordinary currency!
Let me tell you, this is a magical treasure that can make you happy for the rest of your life!"
Upon hearing this, the lame guard became curious and asked impatiently:
"Master Zhang, please tell us what exactly is the way to live happily?"
Zhang He stroked his sparse beard and cursed:
"Country bumpkin, happiness is that with it, you can get almost everything you want.
First of all, you can eat and drink to your heart's content, with every meal filled with delicacies from land and sea, fine wine and delicious food;
Secondly, you can have as many wives as you want, and they will all obey you in everything you do."
When the two guards heard that they could have enough food and drink, marry and have children, their eyes sparkled.
Guard Two asked with longing:
"So, can I open a huge restaurant, buy lots of food, and make everyone envy me?"
Zhang He said disdainfully:
“Yes, these are just small things.
As long as you have these oceans, you can even become a wealthy man and be respected by others."
.........
In the dark night, dark clouds covered the sky and the ground was pitch black.
The three groups of peasant soldiers who were lying in ambush on the grassy and dense forest road not far from Zhang He were like a group of wolves hiding in the dark, waiting for their prey to come into range before they would attack fiercely.
They lay there quietly, their eyes fixed on the path ahead, not daring to breathe.
Seeing Zhang He and others approaching, they suddenly stopped. A peasant soldier named Zhang Qi couldn't help but want to shoot them, so he approached Liu San and whispered:
"Third squad leader, we've been discovered. Should we go up?"
Liu San answered cautiously:
"No rush, let's wait and see. What if it's a villager passing by? It would be bad if he was beaten to death."
He was also wondering in his heart that it was so dark that it was difficult to tell the other person's identity.
At this time, the conversation between Zhang He and others gradually fell into their ears.
Guard One raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a hint of sarcasm:
"Master Zhang, you've already said it, with this huge sum of money, we can indeed live a carefree and happy life like a god.
It's just...
Hey, why do we two brothers have to take you with us?"
As he spoke, he winked at the second guard beside him, conveying some kind of secret signal.
Guard Two immediately understood and echoed:
"That's right, Castle Master Zhang!
Why should I take you with me?
Do you have anything particularly valuable on you?"
Seeing these two people singing the same tune and being aggressive, Zhang He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart and thought to himself:
Could it be that these two guys have evil intentions and want to keep all this treasure for themselves?
Thinking of this, his face changed slightly, but he still forced himself to be calm and asked:
"What's wrong?
Judging from what you said, are you planning to go against this castle lord?"
As he spoke, his right hand had quietly reached for the box-type pistol on his waist.
Seeing this, the two guards reacted extremely quickly. They instantly loaded the bullets in their rifles and pulled the bolts. The black muzzles were pointed directly at Zhang He. Their eyes were as cold as ice, and they shouted in unison:
"I'm sorry, Castle Master Zhang!
What happens today is not up to you!"
In an instant, three crisp gunshots of "bang bang bang" pierced the night sky, scaring the birds in the forest and causing them to flee in all directions.
After all, Zhang He had been in the underworld before, so he reacted very quickly. The moment the guard opened fire, he dodged to the side and the bullet flew past the corner of his clothes.
He drew his gun and fired back without hesitation. Before the two guards could react, they fell to the ground and died.
Zhang Baozhu, who had been shot in the abdomen, endured the severe pain, blew on the muzzle of the gun, and snorted coldly:
"You two bastards, don't you know that I used to be a gangster? You even dare to covet my precious things.
Baby, here I come."
He dragged his injured body and moved towards the treasure chest step by step with difficulty.
Suddenly, Liu San and his men came out from a tall haystack nearby, pointing their black gun muzzles at Zhang He.
Zhang He opened his eyes wide in horror and was about to beg for mercy when he heard a few gunshots and slowly fell down, his eyes still staring at the box full of dollars, as if he could not believe his own ending until his death.
Liu San led the soldiers forward and looked at the corpses on the ground, feeling mixed emotions.
They originally rose up to resist the oppression of Zhangjiabao, but now the lord of Zhangjiabao has died at the hands of his own people's greed and their guns.
