Zhou Fan led the martial arts to send out the Vulcan Sect Church, and after walking for about an hour, he saw a long dragon team in front of him, wearing armor, marching from east to west quickly. www.biquge.info Zhou Fan knew at a glance that this was the merchant army led by Shang Hai. They quickly approached the merchant army and came to the merchant army, and the merchant army did not know that it was the crowd, so they quickly surrounded them in the center. When Zhou Fan saw this, he shouted to the merchant army: "Brothers merchant soldiers, please don't misunderstand! We are all factions of the martial arts, and we learned that the Shang army was crusading against the Xia Dynasty, so we came here to participate in the Shang army and crusade against the Xia Wangji! ”

At this time, a veteran soldier recognized Zhou Fan and said, "According to your appearance, you are very similar to our previous Zhou commanders." ”

"Below is Zhou Fan, who once served as the commander of the Shang Kingdom."

"It's really you!"

The soldiers all talked about it, and a few people who knew him stretched out their heads to visit, and when they saw that it was a group of people led by Commander Zhou who were surrounded, they put away their weapons.

"General Shang Hai, please come and answer." Zhou Fan said.

"I'm Shang Hai, who are you?" A man dressed in a general's uniform and riding a horse came out of the merchant army.

"It's Zhou Fan below, who hasn't been killed in battle."

"Are you Zhou Fan?"

"It's true! Listening to the general Shang leading the army to conquer the summer capital, he gathered all factions in the martial arts to participate in the battle. ”

When Shang Hai heard that it was Zhou Fan, he was not killed in battle, and he had not heard from him in the past few years, how could he believe it? So, he approached the besieged people, and saw Zhou Fan leading a group of people over, Shang Hai took a closer look, and it was Zhou Fan. Shang Hai didn't pay much attention to the martial arts people at this time, who knew that the martial arts people who followed closely behind Zhou Fan surrounded Shang Hai in the center after a while.

"It's really Commander Zhou!" Shang Hai got off the horse and wanted to catch up with Zhou Fan. Unexpectedly, Zhou Fan caught Shang Hai with a backhand and said, "I have to be wronged, brother." At this time, Huang had put the sword on Shang Hai's neck and took over Shang Hai. Only then did Shang Hai react and said, "Zhou Fan! You...... You guys...... What do you want to do? ”

At this time, Zhou Fan preached to the soldiers of the Shang State: "The King of Tang has been under house arrest for many days by the King of Xia, and he is not allowed to return to the Shang State, so at this time, he will send troops to the Xia Dynasty and attack the Xia Capital, which will anger the King of Xia, and the King of Xia will kill the King of Tang. We were ordered by the young lord Taiding, and we had to make this decision, kidnapping the Shang general, and forcing the Shang army to withdraw to the Shang capital, please don't disobey! ”

Seeing this change, the soldiers listened to Zhou Fan's words again, half-believing and half-confused, the merchants were in a commotion, and there were a few Shanghai cronies who wanted to save Shanghai, but none of the people from the martial arts faction blocked back. Seeing this, Huang shouted: "Whoever dares to move, kill him!" He moved his sword around Shang Hai's neck.

When the merchant soldiers saw that the master was robbed, they did not dare to move. Suddenly, a Shang Hai cronie shouted: "Yes, you Zhou Fan, you were originally the commander of the Shang Kingdom, but since you led the troops to fight against the Xia army, the army was defeated by the Jin State, it is said that the whole army was wiped out, and not a single soldier returned to the Shang State, why were you born alone?" I haven't heard that you have returned to Shangguo, and now you suddenly led a group of people to rob the Shang general, who knows what kind of heart you have? Since you have said that you have been commanded by the young master, please show you the order to show you that you will be convinced. ”

"Yes, yes! ...... "The merchants and soldiers were talking in a mess.

Zhou Fan said: "When I came, I was in a hurry, I didn't bring my life, and when I arrived in Shangdu, Yixiang would show my life." ”

The man said: "If there is no life, if we withdraw to Shangdu, how can we blame it?" ”

The merchants and soldiers all coaxed: "That's right! Yes! Unless General Shang orders us to retreat! We just withdrew. ”

Zhou Fan saw that the merchant soldiers did not listen to the command, so he said to Shang Hai: "Brother Shang, I have to bother you with orders!" ”

Shang Hai raised his head angrily, not wanting to give an order. At this time, Huang had pressed the sword to his neck and said, "Do you want to say it?" If you don't say anything more, I will send you back to the western heavens! ”

Shang Hai thought that it was important to save his life, so he said: "Pass my order and withdraw to Shangdu!" ”

When the merchant soldiers saw Shang Hai's fate, they had to slowly return along the way.

Zhou Fan and Huang had captured Shang Hai, surrounded by various martial arts factions, and followed behind the Shang army.

The merchant army arrived at the outskirts of the Shang capital, and the young lord Taiding, Yi Yin, Zhonggu and other ministers had arrived.

Taiding is the son of King Tang, King Tang was placed under house arrest in the Xia Dynasty, the whole dragon was leaderless, and Shang Hai privately led troops out of the capital to attack the Xia Dynasty.

Young Master Taiding, when Zhou Fan was in Shangguo in the past, Taiding was still a child, but now he has grown into a young man, time flies really fast, and it is three years in a trance.

When the young lord and Yi Yin saw that Zhou Fan and others had captured Shang Hai, the young master preached to the Shang soldiers: "Because General Shang Hai did not listen to the advice, he privately led the Shang army to attack the Xia Dynasty, and according to the decree of the Shang State, he suspended the post of Shang Hai's commander of the army. Everyone worked hard all the way, and each returned to the camp to repair and listen to his orders. ”

"Yes!" Merchants and soldiers are in unison.

The merchant soldiers walked away, and Yi Yin said to Shang Hai: "There is no result in the court's argument, you forcibly led the troops out of the capital and attacked the Xia Dynasty, what is your intention?" Now I can only imprison you, rescue the Tang King, and then hand you over to the Tang King, and the Tang King will be angry. ”

Shang Hai was very unconvinced, but he had been captured and had to be disposed of by them.

Xiao Aling suddenly broke into front of Shang Hai and said, "Do you still know me?" ”

Shang Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know you. ”

"You don't recognize me, but I know you, you are in the business sea of Tushan, ten years ago, you forcibly gave me that cold poison pill, you forgot, I will never forget."

Shang Hai felt a little frightened at this time, but he immediately calmed down, and still shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't know." ”

Xiao Aling pointed to Shang Hai and said to the young master, Zhou Fan, Yi Yin, Zhonggu and other ministers: "He is from Tushan, and he is a spy sent by Handong!" ”

The young master, Zhou Fan, Yi Yin, Zhonggu and other ministers were all shocked when they heard Xiao Aling's words, and when they thought about it, he secretly led troops to the summer capital, and he did have an intention.

Yi Yin looked at Zhou Fan and other martial arts factions, and said: "There are Lao Wulin, since you have come to the Shang Kingdom, we will practice the friendship of the landlord. ”

"We came with the alliance leader, and everything is arranged by the alliance leader."

"Since the business country has a heart, we don't have to shirk, just go to the business capital to sit down, and in the future, if there is a heart, everyone will do their own thing!" Zhou Fan said.

"We will follow the alliance leader's wishes and sit in the business capital."

At this time, the Kongtong faction said to Zhou Fan: "This time you can be the leader of the alliance, because the Kongtong faction was almost plotted by Tu Shan, and you came to the rescue, this time with you, it is also to repay you for saving the grace of rescue, saving other sects from talking in the back, from now on we don't owe each other, this door still has important things to do, so I won't bother Shangguo, so I will leave!" ”

"Alas, what is owed to each other and not owed, I will force Tu Shan away in the Vulcan Church, not only for your Kongtong faction, but also for the martial arts of the various factions present. If there is something in Kongtong, it is not forced to stay, so please do it. Zhou Fan said.

"Well said, well said! Farewell, farewell! There will be a period later! Tu Tuo beckoned to the factions again and took his disciples away.

The other factions came to the Shang capital with the Shang ministers, and they were arranged to dine in the dining rooms of the royal palace. Zhou Fan and the martial arts factions toasted each other, and it was very lively. After a long time, everyone had come to the end of the banquet, Yi Yin came to the dining room and said to everyone: "You are all martial arts heroes, if you have the heart to stay in the Shang country, this is still the blessing of the Shang country." I wonder what you think? ”

"Thanks to Prime Minister Yi's kindness, our faction still has something to do and can't stay. In the future, if there is an alliance leader called to serve the merchant country, it is incumbent on our faction! "Black Return.

The other sects, gangs, and factions all said that it was not suitable to stay in Shangguo, but they all expressed their willingness to obey the call of the alliance leader, and then left one after another, leaving only the Huashan Huang faction and Liu Lai.

"Whether the Huashan Yellow Sect is going or staying, listen to the orders of the master!" Huang has said.

"You take the disciples back to Huashan first, I still have something to do, and then I will go to Huashan after I finish my work."

"Yes, disciple of the Huashan Huang Sect, I look forward to the early return of the master!" Huang has led his disciples out of the dining room.

When Liu Lai saw that they were all gone, the scene in full swing suddenly became so cold and light, and he had drunk too much, so he crossed his mouth and said, "Lord, what do you think I should do?" ”

"Of course you let me be." Then, Zhou Fan said to Yi Yin: "My senior brother, I like to get drunk, this is really undignified, and I ask Yi Xiang to bear with me." ”

"Alas, you Commander Zhou and I haven't been separated for a long time, why are you so polite to me, this makes us strange. Come! ”

"Here!" Two men came from the side.

"You take Brother Liu Lai to rest."

"Yes!" They left and right with Liu Lai left and right.

Zhou Fan watched Senior Brother Liu Lai being helped to rest, and he said to Yi Yin: "Yi Xiang, when my senior brother wakes up a little, we will also go back to Taiyue Mountain." ”

"Why are you going to leave us? Now it is the eventful autumn of my business country, and it is also the opportunity for my business country to employ people, come with me to the palace to see the young master Taiding, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are waiting there. ”

"I, the general of the defeated army, what face do I have to meet the young master?"

"In the first battle of the country, although you were defeated by the Xia army, it is not your fault. Besides, you can lead the martial arts heroes of various factions this time to hijack the Shang Sea, not only to eliminate the misfortune of King Tang in the summer capital, but also to save the Shang country. When we were helpless, you did us a great favor and did a great contribution to the country. If you hadn't led the martial arts factions to hijack Shanghai, and really let Shanghai lead the merchant army to attack the summer capital, the consequences would be unimaginable. Don't say any more, follow me to the young master. ”

The palace is still the former palace. After Zhou Fan entered the hall, he felt that the atmosphere was only a little more worried and less festive than Yi. Yi Yin and Zhou Fan came to the palace one after the other, and the seat where the original Tang King of the palace was seated is now sitting by the young master.

"Zhou Fan is in command!" Yi Yin said.

"Sinner Zhou Fan, meet the young master!" Zhou Fan knelt down and bowed.

"Commander Zhou, what is the reason for the crime? Commander Zhou can return to the country safely, this is still a blessing for my business country! ”

"Zhou led the troops into the country of Jin, fought with the Xia army, and the whole army was annihilated, which could not increase the reputation of the Shang country, but dragged down the Shang country, causing such a situation, it is a crime that deserves death, and please ask the young master to be angry!"

"The commander led his troops to the country of Yan to fight against the Xia army, although it was out of the idea of the commander, but with the consent of his father. The strength of the Xia army reported by Bai Zhi of the country of Yan was wrong, do you know, it was later verified that the Xia army had as many as 6,000 people, and the two thousand Xia soldiers reported by Bai Zhi of the country of the country were only the vanguard of the Xia army, and my merchant soldiers and soldiers added only 4,000 in total, but the Xia soldiers were 6,000, and their strength was already at a disadvantage, and Meng Liang was a veteran of the battlefield, so you can't blame him for his plan. I hope you don't plead for this matter, and ask Commander Zhou to get up quickly. ”

"Thank you young master for not adding sin." Zhou Fan stood up.

"Now my father is under house arrest in Xiatai by Xia Wangji, if you want to use troops against Xia, not only will you be charged with great rebellion, but you are also afraid of angering Xia Wangji, causing the terrible consequences of your father being killed, this is a dilemma, I don't know what the Zhou commander has?"

"The Xia Dynasty used troops, this is really not feasible, the last time I led the troops to the country to fight with the Xia army, although there are objective reasons, but the combat effectiveness of the Xia army is indeed not to be underestimated, and the Xia Dynasty has soldiers with rich combat experience like Meng Liang, even if the power of the whole country is poured into the country, it may not be able to win the Xia army, let alone save the Tang King. In my opinion, King Tang is a virtuous king known to the world, and it is impossible for King Xia to kill King Tang immediately without caring about the world. Why don't you send someone to the Xia Dynasty first, find the ministers of the Xia Dynasty, and find out what Xia Wangji wants to do with King Tang? Think again. ”

"What Commander Zhou said is extremely true, the current powerful minister of the Xia Dynasty is none other than Zhao Liang, Zhao Liang is insatiable, this is a good thing for us, and it is also a good candidate for us to ask him for directions and rescue King Tang." Yi Yin said.

"I still have an inside line, that is, the sister Xi who is the most favored by Xia Wangwei today, when the Xia army was going to fight the country, the minister got it from her." Zhou Fan told her secret at this time, wanting to come to the Shang Dynasty in the future, so as to clear her innocence.

As soon as everyone heard Zhou Fan say that Xia Wangji's most favored sister was the inside line, the court suddenly exploded, and they couldn't help but shout, "Ah! Is there such a thing? ”。

"I don't know how Commander Zhou learned that Xia Wangji's most favored sister is an insider, you might as well come and hear it!" Less Lord's Road.

"Dissatisfied with the young master and the ministers, my sister is my fellow sister."

"Ahh......h

"Many years ago, the Xia army attacked the country of Shi many times, and at first the country of Shi could still deal with the Xia army, but later the country of Shi could no longer compete with the Xia army. After many considerations by the queen of Youshiguo, she was forced to dedicate the princess sister to Xia Wangji, and the sister was dissatisfied, ran out of Youshiguo, met me by chance, and worshiped under the Peng Fairy of Wuyi Xianchunling. Meixi later said that the reason why she didn't marry Xia Wangwei was that Meixi's mother, the former Queen of Shiguo, was killed by Xia Wangwei herself, how could she marry the enemy? She is bent on avenging her mother, but she doesn't know how to get it. Later, through the persuasion of the master and me, if you want to avenge the murder of your mother, you have to enter the palace of King Xia and use her beauty to confuse King Xia, so that the Xia Dynasty will fall as soon as possible and subvert the Xia Dynasty, so as to avenge your mother. She listened to the advice of her master and me, and went into the palace. The last time she met me in the Xia Palace, I thought that she had lived a luxurious life in the Xia Palace, and that she had thrown the matter of avenging her mother out of the clouds, but after my bold and careful inquiry, her original intention of revenge had not changed. ”

"That's good, that's great, that's great." Less kingly road.

"No wonder I escaped from the summer palace last time and inadvertently got her cover, it's not surprising that there is such a thing. If we ask her to work together with Zhao Liang, Tang Wang can be saved. Zhonggu recalled.

"I think that in this matter of saving the Tang King, only the commander of Zhou will go to the Xia Dynasty, which is the most appropriate." Yi Yin said.

"Then it's time to take charge of the week." Less kingly road.

"Obey orders!"

In the evening, when Zhou Fan saw Liu Lai wake up from drunkenness, he said, "I'm going to take someone to the summer capital tomorrow." ”

"To the summer capital? To save the soup king? ”

"Yes!"

"Then you're not going back to Taiyue Mountain?"

"I can't go back for a while, why don't you go to Taiyue Mountain first?"

"I went out with you, and I should go back with you. Why don't I go to the summer capital with you, save the Tang King, and have more helpers. ”

"You can go to Xia with me, then you will have three chapters of the law than the three chapters of the law, you must not mess around, otherwise, not only will you not be able to save King Tang, but you will also be in danger of being killed."

"I know, everything is under your command, you can rest assured, you will never come nonsense. I've been to this summer capital, and I think back then, when I saved my heart, I was in the summer capital. ”

"It's good to know."

Early the next morning, the young master, Zhonggu, Weishang and others saw off Zhou Fan in the palace, Zhou Fan got on the horse, Liu Lai drove the carriage, Zhou Fan was in front, Liu Lai was behind, one in front and one behind.

"Commander Zhou, take care, we look forward to your good news." Less kingly road.

"Please rest assured, young master, we will do our best." Zhou Fan said goodbye to them as he spoke.

Liu Lai's carriage carried a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and Zhou Fan thought: "I can't walk in front." He said to Liu Lai: "You drive the car in front, I follow behind, if there is any emergency, we will take care of each other." ”

As soon as Liu Lai heard this, he knew what Zhou Fan meant, so he drove the carriage to the front, and Zhou Fan rode behind, also one in front of the other. Zhou Fan didn't see Yi Yin, so he thought, "Maybe he has other important things to do and can't come." He thought about it, and before they had even left the palace gate, they saw many beautiful women lined up. This is really another sight in the palace. "Do you want beautiful women to see us off too?"

At this moment, Zhou Fan heard: "Commander Zhou! Commander Zhou! You wait! The voice came from behind him. Zhou Fan looked back and saw that it was Yi Yin who hurried up with a beautiful woman.

Zhou Fan felt even more strange at this time, and hurriedly dismounted, waiting for Yi Yin's arrival.

"Yixiang, are you looking for me?"

"That's right! I chose a few beauties for you in the Shang Palace. ”

"How many beauties did you choose for me?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, it was for you to bring it to Zhao Liang."

"Oh, I see."

Yi Yin pushed the last beauty into the team of beautiful women and said, "You choose." ”

"You let me choose?"

"Right"

"Everyone's vision is different, I don't know what type of beauty Zhao Liang likes?"

"Xia Dynasty advocates water virtue, what do you think of her?" Yi Yin pointed to a beautiful woman named Narcissus.

"Okay."

"Zhao Liang likes fat type, what do you think of this?" Yi Yin pointed to another beautiful woman named Osmanthus again.

"In my opinion, they all have their own characteristics and strengths, so why should you be embarrassed for me? You have been in the summer palace for three years, and you have a lot of dealings with Zhao Liang, you should know his hobbies and habits, you say yes, it's good. ”

"Hahaha!" Yi Yin smiled.

Zhou Fan selected the two stunning beauties of Narcissus and Osmanthus selected by Yi Yin, and let them sit in the carriage pulled by Liu Lai, and together with the gold and silver treasures on the carriage, they left the commercial capital together and marched to the summer capital.
