Although Xiao Rui has generals like Yuan Fang, Dian Wei, and Yang Youji, as well as Confucian generals like Guo Ziyi and Chen Qingzhi, and talented generals like Han Xin, he was still pleasantly surprised when he came to Gan Ning.

Why?

It's just because Gan Ning is good at water escape!

In other words, Mizuto is the Hokage... Ahem... The water escape here is water-based.

Gan Ning's water nature is not poplar flowers, but Gao Ming.

The Qijiang River is a natural danger, and if Great Xia and Qin are ruled across the river in the future, they will need the support of a strong naval army, and Gan Ning is one of the best candidates! Of course, it would be more perfect if it could come to Zhou Yu, but people can't be too greedy.

Moreover, Gan Ning is not only good at water warfare, but also brave and resolute, and was once praised by Sun Quan: "Meng De has Zhang Liao, lonely and prosperous, and the enemy is also the enemy", which shows the high evaluation. Although Gan Ning has shortcomings in his character, his flaws are not hidden.

Xiao Rui is very sorry, and now he goes to chase Gan Ning, but he probably can't catch up.

But seeing the delicate Azhu around him, it can be regarded as a loss and a gain.

"That Azhu, what you just said is still true?" Xiao Rui asked with a smile.

Azhu turned his back to Xiao Rui and ignored him in shame.

In the end, Xiao Rui still chose to be calm and calm after a fierce ideological battle.

……

The next morning, when the seven of them were having breakfast, they heard the innkeepers talk about the murder of Uncle Guo, and at the same time heard that the four city gates were blocked, and they were looking for the murderer.

Xiao Rui was so happy when he heard it, he didn't even know who was moving, catch a murderer! Since the city gate has been blocked, it can only wait here for two days, and after the murderer cannot be found, the city gate will naturally open.

In the afternoon, the case of Uncle Guo's matter has further developed, and the murderer has been caught!

Xiao Rui was quite surprised, could it be that the adjutants of Qiao County arrested a few criminals indiscriminately in order to protect themselves, and then closed the case first, after all, it was Uncle Guo who died. But after listening to Guo Jia and Zhang Liang's narration, Xiao Rui was dumbfounded, the murderer caught by the government soldiers turned out to be Gan Ning!

It turned out that at night, Gan Ning carried Wang Taimin's head back to his brother-in-law's house, and then worshiped the spirit of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law in the sky.

It was also Gan Ning's idea back, he sneakily touched into his brother-in-law's house, and happened to be seen by the beater. His brother-in-law died tragically, and the people of Qiaojun City knew about it, and when he saw Gan Ning quietly entering the house, this beater was curious, so he stood by the crack in the door and peeked in, and found the clue.

In the early morning, the news of Wang Taimin's murder came out, and the watchman immediately went to the yamen to report, so the four city gates were under martial law, and they began to search for Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was also brave enough, and killed twenty or thirty people in a row before he was trapped by a trap laid by the government soldiers with iron chains, and then he was helplessly captured.

Xiao Rui immediately sent Li Yuanfang out to investigate the situation.

After Gan Ning was arrested, he directly admitted that he killed Wang Taimin for the purpose of revenge, and he did it alone, without accomplices!

After Xiao Rui heard this, he admired Gan Ning even more, and then quickly discussed with Guo Jia and Zhang Liang to see how to rescue Gan Ning, such talents could not be wasted.

Guo Jia and Zhang Liang are not in a hurry, it was the queen's own brother who died, such a big case is not something that Qiao County officials can handle, since Gan Ning pleaded guilty, it must be escorted to the imperial capital and handed over to the criminal department for trial.

So if you want to save Gan Ning, you are not in a hurry.

As expected, the Qiao County Mansion immediately made a verdict, escorted Gan Ning to the imperial capital, and set off tomorrow!

And by this time, the gates of the blockade had been opened.

Xiao Rui and the seven of them immediately left Qiao County first, went west for a hundred and ten miles, found a suitable place for ambush, and waited quietly to save people.

In the afternoon of the next day, the escort team of Gan Ning approached, and more than 100 soldiers escorted it, and it seemed that the officials of Qiao County were afraid of a change.

Gan Ning was locked in the prison car, although he knew that what awaited him was death, but his expression was normal, and he was not afraid or depressed. He was willing to die for righteousness, worthy of himself!

Whoosh...

Suddenly, three rapid wind-breaking sounds woke Gan Ning, and when he came back to his senses, three soldiers had been shot in the heart by arrow feathers. Then, a roar sounded in the woods next to the official road, and Dian Wei rushed out with a horse, and the double halberd waved and rushed into the group of soldiers, killing all directions, as if entering a no-man's land.

Li Yuanfang was a little gentle, and did not shout loudly, but the means of rushing and killing were not inferior to Dian Wei, and the two of them were like killing gods, so that the soldiers in charge of escorting were defeated and retreated.

The easiest is Yang Yuji, of course, he is also the most insidious, every arrow is either shot in the heart, or in the throat, the arrow is not missing, the arrow kills, and the speed of harvesting life is faster than Dian Wei and Li Yuanfang!

Gan Ning looked at the people who came, and they turned out to be fellow people who had a one-sided relationship, and they were not afraid of danger to rescue themselves, and this kindness made the corners of his eyes moisten.

It turns out that if you value love and righteousness, you will also exchange for the friendship of others.

Soon, more than 100 soldiers were killed and fled, leaving corpses in the spot.

Dian Wei stepped forward and cut the chains with a halberd and rescued Gan Ning.

Gan Ning knelt directly on one knee and bowed: "Engong is above, the grace of saving lives is unforgettable!" Please be worshiped by the villain! ”

Li Yuanfang stopped him and said with a smile: "If you want to thank you, go and thank our young master!" We do what we are told! It was my young master who heard that something had happened to you and hurriedly came to save you! ”

At this time, Xiao Rui also happened to come out of the woods, and Gan Ning thanked him: "Thank you Gongzi for coming to the rescue, and Gan will remember the grace of saving his life!" If you can use Gan, be a cow and a horse, let it be driven. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "That's good! I do need you, but I don't need you to be a cow or a horse, let me ask you, do you dare to kill Emperor Zhao? ”

"What?" Gan Ning froze, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Xiao Rui repeated: "Let me ask you, do you dare to kill Emperor Zhao?" If I asked you to assassinate Emperor Zhao, would you have the guts? ”

Gan Ning said embarrassedly: "Why don't you dare, it's just that Gan doesn't have that ability, let alone killing Emperor Zhao, he can't even touch the palace." ”

"If you dare to kill Emperor Zhao, it means that you are not loyal to Emperor Zhao. How about it, are you interested in following me in the future? Xiao Rui glanced at the system and found that Gan Ning's loyalty was already full, and he saved his life.

Gan Ning asked curiously, "Who is Childe?" Can you tell us? ”

Xiao Rui said proudly: "This palace is Xiao Rui, the prince of Great Xia, Gan Ning, are you willing to join the command of this palace and help this palace unify Shenzhou?" ”

Gan Ning was dumbfounded and looked at Xiao Rui dumbfounded.

Where is this? Joe County! It is only two or three hundred miles away from the imperial capital of Zhao! Now that Xia and Zhao are in a fierce confrontation, the crown prince of Great Xia actually ran here, how can Gan Ning not be surprised?

"You don't believe me?" Xiao Rui asked.

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "Believe!" Your Highness doesn't need to lie to me! ”

After speaking, Gan Ning reacted and hurriedly bowed: "Villain Gan Ning to meet His Highness!" ”

Xiao Rui held up his arm and asked with a smile: "Gan Ning, you haven't answered my words yet, are you willing to join the command of this palace?" ”

Gan Ning nodded and said, "The villain is willing!" From now on, I am willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness! ”

Successfully accepted Gan Ning, Xiao Rui laughed heartily.

Gan Ning couldn't hold back and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to the imperial capital of Zhao State on this trip?" ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "That's right, I'm idle and bored to kill Emperor Zhao." ”

Speaking lightly, it seems to be stating a very easy thing, it turns out that pretending to be like this is the most clever.

Gan Ning swallowed his saliva and said in admiration: "Your Highness's courage and bravery are rare in the world!" Subordinates are willing to saddle the horse before and after! ”

Kill the Emperor... I'm so excited!

Gan Ning is brave and resourceful, but he also has shortcomings, he has a violent and murderous personality, and sometimes because of this temper, he breaks promises, or even disobeys orders.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "We rescued you, and the Zhao Imperial Court will inevitably issue a wanted warrant, so it is more dangerous for you to go to the Emperor of Zhao." I have an even more important task for you, and if you can accomplish it, it will be a great accomplishment in the future! It will be no problem to pay homage to the marquis. ”

"Your Highness, what is your mission?" Gan Ning immediately became interested.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "You go to Qijiang, recruit righteous people to fight for righteousness, rob the rich and help the poor, remember to recruit more people, grab more boats, I hope you can form a strong naval army for me!" Can you be confident? ”

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, I was a water thief when I was young, nicknamed the Jinfan Thief, and now I am absolutely handy to return to my old business. In the past, it was for a living, aimless, but now that there is a goal, for the sake of the great cause, His Royal Highness can rest assured that his subordinates will inevitably form a strong naval army, and the Qijiang battalion of Zhao State is not an opponent! Gan Ning patted his chest and reassured.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia took out a spear falcon and handed it to Gan Ning.

Xiao Rui continued: "What's the matter, you can pass the news to us through this spear falcon!" Next, it's up to you, make a name for yourself from scratch, I believe you have the strength! ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates understand! The subordinate said goodbye here. Gan Ning bowed and bowed, and then rode away at a gallop.

Seeing him disappear on the official road, Guo Jia and Zhang Liang were quite curious, how did His Royal Highness know that this person was proficient in water, and he was so unsuspicious that he directly indicated his identity.

Xiao Rui didn't explain, let the two of them guess, this is also another invisibly pretending, let them know that their Highness is unfathomable.

Afterwards, the seven men continued on their way.

In the afternoon of the next day, I finally saw the majestic imperial capital of Zhao, which was not inferior to Kyoto in Great Xia.

The imperial capital also had a population of more than 1 million people, and was guarded by two large camps nearby, said to be 150,000 people. Coupled with the forbidden army and other guards in the imperial capital, the available strength is estimated to be 170,000 or more.

This is the last force to protect the imperial capital of Zhao State, and it is also the guarantee for Emperor Zhao to sit on the throne, so even if the Qin State in the West is overwhelmed, he did not call on this best equipped brave army.

"It's a pity... This majestic city cannot be surrendered to my feet. Xiao Rui sighed.

Zhang Liang smiled: "Your Highness, don't worry, there will be such a day." ”

Xiao Rui nodded, and then the group sped up and entered the city!

When entering the city, they were questioned by the soldiers guarding the city to investigate, and the seven people prepared a false identity, so they easily entered the city.

The Great Zhao Imperial Capital is divided into workshops, with a total of 32 workshops. Xiao Rui's seven people entered the city from the West City Gate and came to Mingyuefang.

Wanting to assassinate Emperor Zhao is a long-term plan, so living in the inn may expose their identities, so the seven of them rented a quiet house to live in.

In the following days, the seven of them did nothing, just went out for a stroll, familiarized themselves with the streets and terrain of the imperial capital of Zhao, and even the location of the imperial palace and the residences of prominent officials.

It didn't take long for the caravan transporting gunpowder to also enter the imperial capital, and the caravan had its own way and did not show its stuffing.

For this reason, Xiao Rui spent a huge amount of money to buy a warehouse to hold these tens of thousands of tons of gunpowder, so much gunpowder was detonated in Emperor Zhao, tsk...

Of course, this is the finale, Xiao Rui won't be stupid to detonate it now.

After the seven of them got acquainted with the imperial capital, they finally started their own plans.

And to accomplish the purpose of this trip, three conditions must be completed!

First, you can get close to Emperor Zhao!

Second, he can kill Emperor Zhao!

Third, you can escape safely after killing!

All three conditions are indispensable.
