Liu Yao immediately turned around and asked Meng Qiu rhetorically:

"The king didn't let me wait to leave, did he want to leave me two dead?"

Meng Qiu got up from the main seat, walked up to Liu Yao and said:

"I am the king of Nanzhong, how can I do such a thing, I don't want a crossbow, this king not only no longer invades Jianning, but also promised to send troops to rescue the Han family's son of heaven and hundreds of officials!"

Liu Yao shouted, "Okay!" Clapped his hands and praised: "I would like to think that the barbarian king is just an uncivilized Yiren, but I didn't expect this king of Nanzhong to have such courage and foresight, which really impressed me!" ”

It doesn't matter if it's true or nonsense, everyone loves to hear it, hearing Liu Yao's praise, Meng Qiu suddenly smiled.

Liu Yao then asked:

"I don't know when the king will send troops? How many troops can be sent? ”

Meng Qiu blinked, thought for a moment, and replied:

"It's not a hurry to send troops, but I don't know if you can represent the emperor of the Han family? If this king sends troops to rescue the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, and then the man and the Son of Heaven will not admit his account when he dies, and will not give this king armor, weapons, food, cloth, etc., won't this king be empty of bamboo baskets and water? ”

Meng Qiu saw that Guan Xiu was looking at Liu Yao's horse, and Guan Xiu was the grandson of Guan Yu, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, and the son of Guan Suo, the general of Zhennan, was also extremely prominent in Shu Han, and he who could be a head taller than Guan Xiu must be a pivotal person in Shu Han, but he didn't know who his identity was, so he deliberately asked.

Guan Xiu heard that Meng Qiu didn't believe Liu Yao a little, snorted coldly, and said:

"Could it be that my uncle doesn't believe that His Royal Highness can make a decision?"

Liu Yao waved his hand to signal Guan Xiumo to speak, and then replied to Meng Qiu respectfully:

"Under is the second son of the emperor of the Han family, Liu Yao, the king of Anding---."

Meng Qiu was not too surprised when he heard it, after Liu Yao entered the hall to introduce himself, Meng Qiu had already guessed seven or eight points when he heard that his surname was Liu, otherwise he would not have bargained with him for so long.

After Liu Yao revealed his identity, he continued to ask:

"When will the king send troops?"

Meng Qiu turned around and sat down on the main seat, signaling Liu Yao Guan Xiu to also return to the seat, Liu Yao and Guan Xiu were not polite, turned back to the guest seat and sat down, what they cared about most was to let Meng Qiu send troops earlier.

After Liu Yao and Guan Xiu sat down, Meng Qiu called out the commander again, instructed the commander to take the soldiers in the hall down, and gave Liu Yao Guan Xiu two cups of hot tea.

Guan Xiu saw that Meng Qiu was deliberately dragging it, and began to be anxious again, Liu Yao didn't say anything, knowing that Meng Qiu must have some other moths, there is a way for soldiers to block, who will cover it, he didn't care about him, and then picked up the hot tea and tasted it himself.

After a while, Meng Qiu sighed, so as a state of difficulty, said:

"On the surface, I Nanzhong seems to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's livelihood is rich, but in fact, it is also full of dangers, these thirty-six cave masters are ready to move, and Nanzhong must leave a large army to deter them, and at most they can only send 5,000 reinforcements."

Liu Yao didn't bargain anymore, he also knew that Nanzhong was not monolithic, although Meng Qiu was making excuses, but this excuse was also true, five thousand barbarian soldiers plus Jianning's three thousand soldiers and his own eight hundred Han soldiers, and then there were reinforcements from the general, it was not that the Wei army could not be defeated.

Then Liu Yao took another sip of tea and asked slowly:

"Five thousand reinforcements are enough, the king only needs to say the time of dispatch, and I will prepare early."

At this time, Meng Qiu was once again embarrassed:

"I will definitely send troops, but I have the ancestral system in Nanzhong, and people who are not from my own clan cannot lead my Nanzhong army, which is very difficult!"

Guan Xiu saw that Meng Qiu repeatedly shirked, and his anger came up, and he said angrily:

"In that case, let my cousin Meng Tai lead the army to Chengdu with me, it just so happens that he has the courage of ten thousand people!"

Meng hurriedly shook his head and said with some unhappiness:

"Nonsense, this king is such a son, this king is old, who can say some things clearly, in case something goes wrong with the king, Meng Tai is leading the army outside, who will preside over the overall situation at that time, who will take over my throne, besides, His Royal Highness also knows that the Wei army is strong and strong, my barbarian soldiers are not opponents, there are no eyes on the battlefield, my son is so far away from home, in case there are three long and two short, will I have no one to pass on in Nanzhong?"

Guan Xiu was a little angry and asked again:

"And what do you say? You mean you can't send troops? The dignified king of Nanzhong is so unfaithful? ”

Meng Qiu hurriedly waved his hand and replied:

"No, no, no! This king doesn't mean this, but the ancestral system can't be violated, and it's not impossible for people outside the clan to lead my Nanzhong army, it's just ......"

Liu Yao was also a little impatient at this time, and asked:

"Just what should I do? As long as the king can send troops, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, how can I be afraid! ”

Meng Qiu said in a deep voice at this time:

"My Nanzhong ancestral system, anyone outside the clan who leads my own soldiers and horses, needs to break through the three checkpoints formulated by the ancestors, and if I can break through alive, I can lead my Nanzhong army!"

Guan Xiu suddenly couldn't sit still, and replied loudly:

"Good! I'll break these three levels! ”

Meng Qiu saw that Guan Xiu wanted to take the next three levels, and added:

"The three levels of the ancestral system need to be qualified to challenge only those outside the clan."

Liu Yao understood at this time, he made it clear that he wanted to let himself break through these three levels, without any hesitation, he got up and said:

"I'll take these three levels!"

Meng Qiu saw that Liu Yao, who did not hesitate, took the next three passes, and couldn't help but be impressed, and said:

"Please ask Your Highness and General Guan to rest in the Wangzhai tonight, and take you to the three levels tomorrow."

Liu Yao was in a hurry to return to Chengdu, unwilling to delay any longer, and refused:

"It's still early at this time, why don't you break through today, could it be that the so-called ancestral system invented by the king wants to break his promise, in order to delay the army?"

Meng Qiu saw that Liu Yao insisted on breaking through these three levels today, so he didn't say more, and called the commander outside the palace to come and tell the soldiers and generals of the whole clan that no one had broken through the three levels of the ancestral system in Nanzhong for a hundred years, first, Nanzhong had rarely borrowed troops to go out, and second, these three levels were really dangerous, and few people could survive to get through.

The announcement continued, and the people of Nanzhong were boiling.

At this time, Zhang Bao had already taken off his shirt, revealing a black chest, and lifted the Zhangba snake spear to poke at Meng Tai, Meng Tai was also naked, the hair on his body was more vigorous and rough, and a clumsy iron thistle bone in his hand looked extremely light in his hands, and the two staggered weapons back and forth.

Not long after, Zhang Zun's Zhangba snake spear was knocked away by Meng Tai, and he was defeated again, Meng Tai laughed and said:

"Zhang Zun, you've been defeated eight times, are you still coming?"

Zhang Zun's face was full of shame, he thought that Guan Xiu was just an exaggeration, and he didn't put this so-called No. 1 warrior in Nanzhong in his eyes at all, and he had already lost eight battles in a heads-up competition with Meng Tai today, and at this time Zhang Zun knew that there were heroes in the world.

But the eight defeats did not make Zhang Zun succumb, picked up the Zhangba snake spear, and shouted:

"Come again!"

Zhang Zun's drunkard did not mean to drink, his mind was no longer in this school field, his eyes drifted to a pair of beautiful eyes on the walled pavilion next door, he couldn't admit defeat at this time, he lost face in front of others, defeat is not as good as others, admitting defeat is not as good as others.
