Zhuang Lingzhi's two siblings were all controlled by the eldest grandson Mingyue, which was the key to forcing Chen Zhi to surrender.

Although the overall situation is basically decided now, if Chen Zhi still insists on resisting, it will be a loss to the eldest grandson Mingyue.

Now, the first city that Xuanyuan Ding has taken, under the condition of establishing his prestige, will also go to recruit the people of the Ming clan, and make a good start for the recovery of the entire Zhongshan Kingdom in the future.

After all, with so many cities, he doesn't show that he is lenient and benevolent, how can he make others do it.

And Chen Zhi is the best candidate, the Chen family of Heyuan Mansion is deeply favored by the Ming family, Chen Zhi, as the person with the highest prestige of the Chen family in Heyuan Mansion at present, if he can surrender, then others will not have so much resistance to surrender.

"Tell the eldest grandson Mingyue to come out to see me!" Chen held his spear and said to the soldiers of the Chengfeng Army who were a hundred paces away, his heart was already very anxious.

It didn't take long for the eldest grandson Mingyue to wear a regular suit, not even armor, obviously she was sure that Chen Zhi would not dare to fight her easily.

Except for the 2,000 cavalry in his headquarters, the rest of the soldiers of Heyuan Mansion were unwilling to follow Chen Zhi to save the two brothers and sisters of Zhuang Lingzhi.

Therefore, he took 2,000 cavalry to the north of the city to the north of the city, this street is intricate, and there is a strong wall, which is the default boundary between the current Chengfeng army and these soldiers who have not surrendered to Heyuan Mansion.

"Heroes? I'm not a hero, I'm just a woman. ”

"What about my wife and uncle?" Chen pointed his spear at her and asked.

"General Chen, have you finally come to see me in person? How, how is it thought about, whether to surrender or continue to resist? Eldest Sun Mingyue was in a very happy mood and asked with a smile on her face.

Chen Zhi looked at the smiling face of the eldest grandson Mingyue, and was very angry, "Despicable! The eldest grandson Mingyue, you have the ability to fight in an upright manner, what kind of hero are you when you capture my wife and brother-in-law. ”

It was something she expected to be caught by mistake, but the only one who felt sorry was Chen Zhi.

"Eldest grandson Mingyue, how do you want to let go?" Chen Zhi forced himself to calm down, he knew that his impulsiveness would not help, and this time he brought troops over not to forcibly start a war to rescue people, although he knew that the chance of letting Changsun Mingyue release people was very low.

The eldest grandson Mingyue glanced at the person behind her, who understood, walked back, and asked the soldiers to escort Zhuang Lingzhi and the two siblings to her.

"Husband!" Zhuang Qingying saw Chen Zhi coming, with a look of guilt on her face, she had only practiced martial arts for a few days, and she was only in the realm of the triple after tomorrow, knowing that the eldest grandson Mingyue wanted to use Zhuang Lingzhi to force Chen Zhi to comply, but she still couldn't help but rush out to save people.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

If you are any one person with an important killer weapon in your hand, how can you let it go casually?

"It's simple, as long as you surrender." At this moment, a voice sounded behind the eldest grandson Mingyue, and everyone looked over and saw Xuanyuan walking in a hurry.

At first, when the dragon flag was lit up, Chen Zhi knew that what the eldest grandson Mingwei said earlier was not wrong, and the army outside the city was really led by the Great Xia Emperor. It's just that he doesn't understand, shouldn't the emperor of Great Xia be in Ningdu? How did it end up here?

Although Chen Zhi has been resisting, he is not a person who is stupid and loyal to the Ming family, but as a general who guards the city, he protects the peace of the people of a mansion, and surrender is a stain on his life, a stain that cannot be washed away in a lifetime, he simply doesn't want to be considered a greedy person who is afraid of death.

The people around saw Xuanyuan Ding coming over in person, and they saluted one after another.

"Chen Zhi, you are a talent. I have always loved talents, so would you like to surrender to me? Xuanyuan Ding walked in the front, looked at Chen Zhi sincerely, and said.

"No......" Chen Zhi's eyes showed disbelief, how could the eldest grandson Mingyue know that someone would come from Zihu?

It turned out that she only brought a third of her people to attack the city, and the rest went to Zihu.

His eyes kept looking in the direction of Zihu, and now it was less than an hour before the time agreed with Wei Muzhi, and until this moment, he hadn't given up.

"Don't look at Zihu, I know what you're thinking. Those 5,000 garrisons of the Fisheries Division, huh? Eldest Sun Mingyue opened his mouth and said, "Just now, news came from Zihu that Wei Muzhi is dead, and all the soldiers of the Fisheries Division have surrendered, so you have no hope!" ”

The spear fell to the ground with a metallic roar, his legs were weak, and he tilted his head and said sadly, "General Wei! I'm the one who hurt you! ”

Countless voices echoed in his head, roaring, and the expression on his face was unpredictable.

The spear in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he knew that no matter how much he didn't believe it, the fact that the eldest grandson Mingyue could tell about Zihu showed that she must have made preparations in advance, and Wei Muzhi landed from Zihu and just got into the trap.

Wei Muzhi is very likely to have really been killed.

"I will surrender! However, I have one request! ”

Hearing Chen Zhi's wish, Xuanyuan was overjoyed, Chen Zhi's talent he appreciated very much, although in the end it was the eldest grandson Mingyue who was more skilled, but the eldest grandson Mingyue would have to return to Baige Island sooner or later, if there were no such talented people, he would still go back to the old road after all, and be replaced by another rising family to replace the position of the Ming family.

Everyone's eyes were on him, and the two thousand cavalry under his command were also very nervous, and now in this situation, it is very likely that Chen Zhi will order a fish to be killed, which is not a good result for them.

War can break out at any time. The soldiers on both sides were very nervous.

Because, in her opinion, Chen Zhi is completely cornered, and he has no other choice but to surrender. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before you surrender, and the more you agree, the more refreshing it is.

"I can surrender like Your Majesty, but these people under my command are all brothers who were born and died with me. After the surrender, I want Your Majesty to promise not to disrupt their establishment, and I still need to continue to rule them!"

Xuanyuan Ding hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly, what are the requirements?" I promise you! ”

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ding had already spoken, the eldest grandson Mingyue frowned, and gave him a negative look, meaning that he couldn't agree casually.

The black clouds in the distance of the sky slowly pressed over, and the sun had been covered with a black cloth, and gradually, the whole sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder flashes could be seen from the black clouds.

"It's going to change." Chen Zhi listened to the sound of thunder in the sky and said.

Xuanyuan Ding didn't think about it at all, and immediately agreed. "I promise you!"

"Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Mingyue glanced at him, but he didn't react, obviously he had already decided.

At first, the eldest grandson Mingyue disagreed, after all, Chen Zhigang had just surrendered, and it was still two to say whether he was loyal or not.

If Chen Zhi holds Xuanyuan Ding, what should he do?

"yes, the storm is coming." Xuanyuan looked out the window and said thoughtfully.

This is after Chen Zhi surrendered, he wanted to feast Xuanyuan Ding alone.

There was a crisp sound of footsteps going upstairs, and I saw Zhuang Qingying walking over, followed by two guys, both holding a pair of nanmu trays in both hands, on the left buddy tray was placed a huge yellow and tender bamboo tube, and on the right buddy tray was a jade plate, covered with a sterling silver lid, but did not cover the fish and wine fragrance exuded here.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." Zhuang Qingying respectfully put the ingredients on the table with both hands.

But Xuanyuan Ding thought that since Chen Zhi had surrendered, he should be given enough trust. As an emperor, he still has to have such a mind and bearing.

So, he really only brought Zhai Ling'er and didn't bring anyone to the banquet.

As soon as he wanted to try Zhuang Qingying's craftsmanship, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion came over and whispered a few words in Chen Zhi's ear.

Chen Zhi nodded, and then said to Xuanyuan Ding, "Your Majesty, there is a person who claims to be Xu Changsha and says he wants to see you!" Do you see it or don't you see it? ”

The man behind her brought up the bamboo tube and the jade plate, and then took the silver cover from the jade plate. A burst of fragrant fish and wine emanated from the jade plate, and inside was a white fish fillet, as thin as a light yarn, this knife skill is really needless to say. Coupled with the sprinkled green onions on top of the fish fillet, the sassy is exquisite.

"Your Majesty, please use it!" Chen Zhi picked up a pair of silver chopsticks and handed them over, and the latter took the chopsticks.

Not long after the battle in Zihu started, with the death of Wei Muzhi, most of the battle ended. The people of the Fisheries Division, who were still on the boat, were so frightened that they wanted to row away.

However, it turned out that a flotilla had appeared in front of them.

Xuanyuan put down his chopsticks, his face was full of joy, and said, "Changsha? Why is Changsha coming, quickly call him in. ”

It didn't take long for the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion to lead Xu Xiang in.

So these men surrendered, and 4,500 men, at least 4,000 of whom had surrendered, except for some of the men who had died in battle.

When Xu Xiang learned of the situation in Heyuan Mansion, he rushed to Heyuan Mansion without stopping.

Xu Xiang saw that the eldest grandson Yuning had already mastered the battle situation, and Wei Muzhi's defeat was a matter of time, so he ordered to intercept these others who wanted the Fishery Division.

Seeing Xu Xiang's 2,000 people, the people of the Fisheries Department were even more panicked, it seemed that this army that attacked them had been prepared for a long time, whether it was on the shore or on the lake.

A unique smell of fish entered Xu Xiang's nostrils, and he hurriedly walked over and carefully looked at the dishes.

"Yikes! Fugu meat! Xu Xiang's gaze turned to Chen Zhi with a hint of a smile on his face, but this smile seemed a little weird.

Later, I learned that Xuanyuan was going to the banquet, and Xu Xiang hurriedly rushed over.

"Changsha, why are you here" Xuanyuan got up to greet him and took Xu Xiang's hand directly.

This fish is often made for him by his wife, and he dares to guarantee that what he eats is absolutely non-toxic, otherwise how could he have survived until now?

Xuanyuan Ding also looked puzzled and asked, "Changsha, will you admit your mistake?" ”

"General Chen, you don't know that this puffer fish is poisonous, right?" Xu Xiang sneered, "Are you trying to poison Your Majesty?" ”

When Chen Zhi heard Xu Xiang say this, he immediately knelt down and said, "No, absolutely not!" I ......"

"Since, you say you don't know, then the person who made this dish wants to poison His Majesty?" Xu Xiang said again.

Chen Zhi shook his head frantically, "Impossible!" This dish is made by my wife herself, how could I want to poison it...... Kill Your Majesty? ”

“...... This fish is indeed poisonous! Xu Xiang shook his head, how could he not know the pufferfish.

Not only do I know each other, but I also cooked puffer fish meat myself during a mission before, so I know this very well.

He has always felt that such a difficult ingredient as puffer fish to handle, how could people in this era go to the poison of puffer fish?

Xuanyuan Ding smiled, relieved the embarrassment, and said, "Changsha, you are suspicious, don't you see that General Chen has nothing to do?" ”

At this time, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece casually, and then ate it, "If it's poisonous!" That Chen Zhi is determined to die first! This dish is my wife's specialty, and I also think that this fish is extremely delicious, so I decided to dedicate it to Your Majesty! ”

Seeing that Chen Zhi ate it, there was no reaction for a long time, Xu Xiang was stunned for a while.

He took a fillet and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, no expression on his face.

"How?" Xuanyuan asked as he stared nervously at him.

"Don't let down General Chen's wishes!" After speaking, his hand reached for the chopsticks on the table, ready to pick up the puffer fish meat.

Xu Xiang picked up the chopsticks first, stopped Xuanyuan Ding's hand that was about to move the chopsticks, and said, "Wait! Let me first help Your Majesty test if it is poisonous! ”

"I'm going to try it out, I'm sure I'll be able to try it out!"

"......" Xuanyuan Ding watched him send the fish fillets into his mouth one by one, and finally reacted, where did he test the poison for him, but wanted to eat it alone.

"Your Majesty, you wait, I haven't tried it yet, I'll try another piece." Xu Xiang clamped another piece and quickly put it in his mouth.

"Wait a minute, I'll try another piece!"

"Delicious! Your Majesty, this is a pufferfish, highly poisonous? "Quietly savor the deliciousness in this mouth.

Because the meat of puffer fish is crystal clear, smooth and delicious, the meat is delicious, and the taste is unique, it is tougher than ordinary fish, and it cannot be quit after eating it like a drug.

Seeing that the fish fillets in this jade plate had already been eaten by him, Xuanyuan said dissatisfiedly: "The poison has already poisoned you!" ”

Then pick up a slice and put it in your mouth, a cold feeling, and very tender, eat the mouth full of fish aroma, and wine aroma, but there is no wine taste. Xuanyuan must have eaten a lot of fish, but this kind of fish meat was something he had never tasted, and it was extremely delicious, so he couldn't help but take another slice.

Since the Edo period, Japanese people have been eating fugu on a regular basis.

Even the pork meat with large teeth is enough to kill people, and there is no antidote, and the puffer fish has become the last supper for many people, and the legendary Kabuki Kabuki Sakahito Mitsugoro, who claims to be invulnerable to all poisons, died in it, shocking the whole country.

But even so, the Japanese can't resist the temptation and have no self-control in front of the fugu.

However, as long as it is handled properly, the toxins can be completely removed. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi, an inconspicuous lady, would have such an ingenious side, which even Chen Zhi didn't know.
