"Farewell!"

"Walk slowly, don't send it!"

"Hmph, no!"

Zhang Xu and the others arrived in the dangerous city for nearly a month, and finally left before the heavy snow came. It's just that when he came, he was arrogant, but when he left, he was angry.

"Gongsun Xiao'er, you will regret it!" When he was far away, Zhang Xu was still angry in his heart, and turned around and roared. However, after saying that, Zhang Xu and his party sped up their pace, as if they were worried that Gongsun Du would catch up.

"Lord, my subordinates please hunt down and kill this officer!" Huang Zhong was furious and asked for his life.

"No, everything has its own arrangement." Gongsun Du's eyes were cold.

Since yesterday's negotiations failed, and this morning's negotiations still failed, Gongsun Du knew that things were going to go in the direction he least wanted to see.

Regarding the order of the imperial court, Gongsun Du naturally hoped to delay the dispatch of troops, at least until next year. Whether it is from the current Buyeo and Goguryeo eyeing the tiger, and Lou Ru, who may participate at any time, or from the point of view of this most likely Xianbei strategy, the army of Liaodong should not be moved lightly. It is very likely that millions of people in Liaodong will either die or be taken captive.

However, Zhang Xu not only disagreed, but also asked Gongsun Du to collect all the grain of the people and use the troops of Liaodong to attack Xianbei in the west. In other words, it is not only necessary to give up millions of people in Liaodong, but also to starve them to death!

This has touched Gongsun Du's bottom line, and he was furious and did not agree, so the talks collapsed, and there was no room for turnaround.

Zhang Xu and Gongsun Du, the deputy envoy surnamed Wang, were killed, and they left at noon.

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The actions of Guanangel and the others have increased their vigilance, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no omissions. ”

Gongsun Du was silent for a moment when he heard this, but still refused: "What Han Sheng said is indeed reasonable, but this matter is not so simple. Seeing that Huang Zhong still wanted to say more, Gongsun Du explained in a low voice: "The imperial court is here, it is likely that there will be other backers, if they are allowed to die here, it is difficult to guarantee that the news will not leak out, the best way is to let them die on the territory controlled by Xianbei now, even if there is some suspicion at that time, but there is no evidence after all." ”

"As for fleeing separately, hehe, a new batch of Netherworld has been sent out, if they can all escape in this way, then even if they don't deserve to die."

Huang Zhong's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he said: "Please also ask the lord to forgive the sin, his subordinates almost ruined the lord's affairs." ”

Gongsun Du patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Hansheng doesn't have to blame himself, if Xianbei is involved in this matter, sooner or later it will be exposed, at most, it will be delayed for a while." ”

Huang Zhong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said: "Can't the ministers of the imperial court see that there is a lord in the rear, and Xianbei will not dare to invade the south with all his might!" ”

Gongsun Du didn't speak, just quietly looked at the direction where Zhang Xu and the others left, and he couldn't figure out this question......

In fact, it is not that no one in the court thinks of these people, but now there are only a few people in the court who have such foresight, and their status is low, so they are naturally light-hearted and are not accepted by Liu Hong and the rest of the ministers. It just bubbled up and disappeared......

Let's say that Zhang Xu and the others ran out of more than ten miles quickly, and they could barely see the dangerous city. Although Zhang Ze had already experienced some bumps when he came, he still felt tumbling in his abdomen at this time, very uncomfortable, and he was as delicate as a flower! Hehe!

"Let's take a break and talk about it after lunch! Forgive that grandson and child, and he didn't dare to send troops to chase and kill us. "Zhang Xu is not a fool, he knows how to find a high-sounding reason.

Deputy Envoy Wang frowned, and said playfully: "Gongsun Du can block the attacks of the Xianbei and other clans in Liaodong, obviously not a simple person, in order to prevent the news of disrespect for the will from leaking out, it is very likely that he will send people to hunt us down, so does Zhang Neizhi still want to rest here?" ”

Zhang Xu's body stiffened, coughed lightly twice, turned around and didn't look at Deputy Envoy Wang, and said to everyone: "Forget it, let's run a little longer, it's not safe now." After saying that, he took the lead in galloping his horse. It seems that he wants to get rid of the embarrassment of Fang Cai.

Seeing this, Deputy Envoy Wang didn't say anything, but nodded, but waited for Zhang Xu to run away a little, beckoned someone, muttered a few words in his ear, and then rode his horse to chase after him. But the man disappeared into the ranks without a sound, and he didn't know where to go......

The northern foot of Yiwulu Mountain.

In a nameless valley, the dead grass and trees tell the withering of life.

Poof, poof, poof......

Boom~

"Who?"

"If there is a fate!"

"Under the whole world!"

"It's not the king's land!"

"Within the four seas!"

"All are kings!"

Creak~

"Big brother, are you going back?"

"That's right! You ......"

"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter interrupted their conversation.

"Who?"

"Go back? You better stay in peace! ”

The two people who narrated, as well as several other people inside, instantly understood that the comer was not good, and there was no need to communicate at all, so they shot together.

"Kill~"

However, the person outside the cave seemed to have expected it, and when he finished speaking, he took the lead in pulling the trigger.

Boom, boom, boom......

One by one, the crossbow bolts flew into the cave, and a scream rang out.

"Ahh......h

After a while, the cave fell silent, and there were no flying bolts.

"Captain, go in and have a look?"

"See? Twenty-one, are you stupid in your head, what if they play dead? Have you forgotten all the things you trained? ”

"Uh...... Captain, isn't that a suggestion! Purely advice! ”

"Suggestion? Let's take it as a suggestion this time! If there is a next time, not only Twenty-one, but also you, go back and double the amount of training. ”

"Ah~ Don't ...... it"

"Yes, Captain, don't be so cruel!"

……

The others screamed too, apparently the training was a terrible thing.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, throw the torches in there, and shoot an arrow for each person."

"Yes, Captain!"

Hmmm, Whew......

The light of the Dao fire flew into the cave and illuminated it.

Whoa, whoa......

The bolts flew out again, and none of them missed.

"Whew~ Okay, check it, if there is still a living mouth, just finish him off."

"Yes!"

Just as the group went to check, the captain came up to the man they had been following.

"Huh? You're not dead yet? It's a big deal! The captain sighed, pulled out the dagger on his thigh, and was about to take it off, but saw that his eyes were full of desire to survive, and his hand couldn't help but pause.

The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "If you want to blame, blame you for being the enemy of the lord!" ”

The man's eyes darkened slightly, but there was a little more mockery.

The captain shook his head and whispered, "You're the one who wants to inform you, right?" Don't worry, he shouldn't have gone far, if you go faster, maybe you can catch up with him on Huangquan Road, and be a companion. After saying that, the captain no longer hesitated, and the dagger in his hand flashed, wiping the man's throat.

The others were faster, took out the enemy, and came up behind the captain.

The captain got up and glanced at it, and said, "The news of the death of the previous cavalryman will soon reach the ears of the enemy, so everyone should set off immediately, and be sure to get in touch with the second team as soon as possible to complete the task of the main bus agent." ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go!"

These people left quietly, as they had when they arrived, without attracting anyone's attention.

……

At night, Zhang Xu and his entourage rested in a deserted town.

Zhang Xu and the others ran around for a day, and they were so tired that they fell asleep easily. Only the deputy envoy of the king couldn't sleep for a long time: what's the matter, why hasn't he come back yet? Did you run into bandits and bandits?

Somehow, Deputy Envoy Wang always had an uneasiness lingering in his heart.

Driven by this uneasiness, Deputy Envoy Wang ignored Zhang Xu's tiredness, and the next day he still hurried quickly, even if he passed through Changli City in the afternoon, he did not stop, and continued to hurry.

After another day, Zhang Xu and the others had already left Changli County and entered the range of Youbeiping, but Deputy Envoy Wang still felt that it was inappropriate and still asked to hurry with all his might. Zhang Xu was very dissatisfied with this, he had enjoyed a lot of happiness in the years he had spent in the palace, how could he be as tired as he was now, but because of the face of the deputy envoy of the king, he didn't say much.

Then another day of wild running, crossed Xu Wucheng, and finally camped near Xu Wushan for a temporary rest.

The successive rushes made the resentment in Zhang Xu's heart uncontrollable, and he found Deputy Envoy Wang that night.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, everyone is tired these days, let's rest for a day tomorrow!"

After speaking, Zhang Xu turned around and wanted to leave, but Deputy Envoy Wang said loudly: "No, now we must return to Luoyang this morning and report the news to Your Majesty, and it is likely to be ...... to delay for one more day."

"Enough!" Zhang Xu completely broke out and shouted hysterically, "The main envoy is the main envoy, and you are just the deputy envoy!" ”

"What to do, the envoy has the final say!"

"The envoy said that he would have a day off tomorrow, so he would have a day off!"

As soon as the words fell, Deputy Envoy Wang came up and persuaded him, and a sound of breaking the air came. Deputy Envoy Wang sighed in his heart: Oh no, they are chasing after you!

Whoa, whoa......

The crossbow bolt pierced the night, no matter how the king's deputy envoy dodged or blocked, he couldn't completely dodge or block, and he was still hit by several arrows, and he inevitably died. As for Zhang Xu, he was so confused that he was shot without even half a chance to dodge.

Long.

There was no sound in this small camp, only a faint voice came from the darkness—

"A day off? Rest forever! ”
