When King Rui said with a bitter face the disappearance of the county lord of Huaqing, Liu Yuyang, Sun Xianzu, and Liu Shaozong, who were shocked, none of them could still sit on the stool.

They didn't have the courage to directly accuse King Rui of allowing the county lord to go out in such a dangerous situation as Hanzhong Mansion, so they could only show their surprise with an expression with a long mouth and round eyes.

"At present, there is no news of the little girl and her party, according to the masters of the Jade Emperor Temple, that night the thief Kou Li should cooperate with the outside, kill the host, break the temple, and many people died. The little girl's body was not found, and nine times out of ten, it was plundered by the thieves who killed that day. "King Rui, who has always been wide-hearted and fat, rarely showed a look of fear and fear, but Liu Yuyang and the others had no intention of tasting it.

Their anxiety is no less than that of King Rui, the county lord suffers, and the boss blames him, and the final responsibility is not borne by him? Such a serious dereliction of duty was enough for the three of them to go to prison together. It is because Liu Yuyang and the others are now panicked and frightened, and on the other hand, they are constantly slandering the audacity of King Rui and the county lord.

"There are many wanderers outside the city, and the road is not smooth, how can the prince rest assured that the county lord will go out of the city alone?" Liu Shaozong asked directly. He is a martial artist in the end, and he does not have Sun Xianzu's old scheming, thinking of where it is, he forgot to take care of King Rui's face in his eagerness.

"This, this ......" King Rui's heart was numb, he didn't mind Liu Shaozong's attitude, and rubbed his hands uneasily, "The princess made a wish in the Jade Emperor Temple a few years ago, but unfortunately contracted a cold some time ago, and it has not healed yet. Huaqing is filial piety and repays his mother's wishes. Alas, alas, I also said that children's filial piety is rare, and the Jade Emperor Temple is not far from the city, so there will be no mistakes, who expected, who expected......" said, and sighed again.

Liu Shaozong's brows knotted into a Sichuan character, and he twisted his face and said: "What kind of embankment of 100 miles, collapsed in the anthill." In addition to scouts, there are few people who are more than ten miles away from the city on weekdays, and the prince is really careless! ”

Liu Yuyang was angry when he heard him say the words "rarely leave the city", and was about to use the topic to play, where Sun Xianzu saw his face change slightly, and hurriedly interjected: "Yes, there was a stream of thieves in the middle of the pass before the tenth month, which was extremely fierce, and now it is entrenched not far from the north of the city." The prince should not relax on the cusp of this storm. He saw that King Rui seemed to be in chaos when he was anxious, so he also learned from Liu Shaozong and aggravated his tone to be tempting.

King Rui obviously didn't have the heart to care about any etiquette and respect, and sighed a few times one after another, looking extremely remorseful, while Sun Xianzu and Liu Shaozong glanced at each other, and inadvertently smiled at the corners of their mouths.

Liu Yuyang didn't notice their expressions, and was as anxious as King Rui, and said, "The new thief in the north is called 'Zhao Ying', and he didn't have much reputation before. However, in recent years, he first killed Mr. Cao and then defeated Mrs. Qin, and he is in the limelight and cannot be underestimated. ”

Sun Xianzu also raised his head and said: "Yes, I heard that this Zhao Ying has incorporated the rest of the thieves in the south of the provincial capital, and his strength has risen greatly. I think it was difficult for us to deal with the little red wolf and other generations before, and then come to such a tiger and wolf army, alas, its situation is dangerous, its situation is dangerous! ”

Liu Yuyang heard that the meaning of his words was different, and said quite unhappily: "What does Mr. Sun mean by this?" In the past, tens of thousands of elites besieged our city, and they all returned with a miserable defeat, but now Zhao Ying is just a remnant of the camp, and the little red wolf and others are even more rabble, even if they are together, what are they afraid of? ”

Liu Shaozong said at this time: "Lord Liu's words are wrong. Things are different now. At the beginning, the thieves were raging, our city and even the surrounding counties were violated, many places were killed, and the city defense had not been repaired. ”

Liu Yuyang was dissatisfied with Sun and Liu's slack attitude towards avoiding war, but now he saw that the two were in cahoots, and he was very angry, and he wanted to reprimand "a bunch of nonsense", but he swallowed it alive again, and said with a stiff face: "An Yuanbo is too prestigious." "Liu Shaozong's ancestor is the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's tent under the fierce general Liu Sheng, Yongle was named the Marquis of Anyuan, to his generation of descendants inherited An Yuanbo. As a civil official, Liu Yuyang's status is superior to that of Liu Shaozong, but after being hindered by the other party's ministers, he still has to be polite in his words.

Liu Shaozong was anxious and wanted to compete, but King Rui interrupted: "Oh, the two of you will stop the dispute for the time being, whether he breaks into the camp or Zhao Ying, as long as this king can save his daughter back, he will be satisfied!" ”

Sun Xianzu poured out the round field, nodded and said: "Exactly, what's the difference between Chuang Camp and Zhao Ying, it's just a raccoon dog." Now the top priority is to save the county lord! This was meant for everyone, but in the end, he turned to Liu Yuyang and kicked the ball out quietly.

"Lord Wang, dare to ask how long the county lord has been trapped?" Liu Yuyang didn't have so many tricks, he wholeheartedly regarded this matter as an aspect that he should do his best, and under Sun Xianzu's inquiry, he decided to understand the situation first.

King Rui frowned and said, "It's been three days. It's a shame to say that at the beginning of this king, he didn't want to work the three masters. can think about it, that Zhao Ying is commonly known as cunning, and there are countless tigers and wolves under him. The three of them are all ministers of the humerus of the society, and they should be able to share the worries of this king. These words sounded like begging, but Liu Yuyang and the others knew it when they heard the words "Sheji humerus", and King Rui brought out the big backer of today's saint. The implication is that the three of them agreed to help, so the county lord can not report the matter of the thief for the time being, otherwise the impeachment will be involved, and the three of them will never end well. The threat in the tactful is very obvious.

Liu Yuyang's subordinates are only one or two thousand township warriors who have been temporarily recruited, and the city patrol is acceptable, but there is no need to mention the field battle. Therefore, at present, the city defense of Hanzhong is still the five or six thousand people of Sun Xianzu and Liu Shaozong's department as the main force, and how to arrange it has to listen to their opinions.

According to the urine nature of these two people who have always shirked their responsibilities, Liu Yuyang was originally ready to have a verbal battle with them in front of King Rui today, but who expected Sun Xianzu to change his personality at the moment, and said briskly: "The old man is stationed in the city just to protect the territory and the people." The county lord's daughter is covered with dust, and there is no reason to sit idly by. Seeing him speak like this, Liu Shaozong also learned to swear and promise to contribute.

King Rui raised his eyebrows and said continuously: "The two generals are really the ministers of the society, and they can be called the pillars of our dynasty!" ”

Liu Yuyang was confused, and he couldn't figure out why the attitude of the two had changed drastically, but at this time, Sun Xianzu sighed heavily.

Seeing that his face was sad, King Rui asked, "Why did Sun Zongrong sigh?" At the end, he asked, "But seeing that the other party is Zhao Ying, I'm afraid that there is no chance of winning?" ”

When Sun Xianzu heard this, he straightened his chest and said resolutely: "The prince is too underestimated to be a subordinate. Although his subordinates are in their twilight, they also have the ambition of being honest. In the past, as strong as thieves and thieves, they didn't chase their subordinates and beat them, what did they think about Zhao Ying? As long as he didn't plan to trap the county lord, his subordinates would not allow this ugly creature to get away with it in my city! He is old, his body is still quite strong, and his voice is loud and powerful, so that the words come out of his mouth are full of convincing.

Liu Yuyang sneered secretly, thinking that the little red wolf and others had been in Hanzhong for almost two years, and they didn't see you expelling and exterminating them, but at this time, they were full of ambition. With such a nonsense, I deceived King Rui, who lived in a simple place, how could I deceive me who pounced on military affairs day and night? The real one is like a locust tree, and the bark gets thicker and thicker the older it gets.

He thought so, but he also knew the measure, although Sun Xianzu and Liu Shaozong were negligent in their duties, they took over the work of rescuing the county lord in one bite. So I kept silent and wanted to see what was going on.

"It's just ......" After Sun Xianzu finished speaking, the words suddenly changed, and he glanced at King Rui, as if there was something unspeakable.

King Rui sighed: "It's all here, and this king has sent a few adults to kneel down and plead." The guests here are not outsiders, if Sun Zongrong has anything to say, just say it. ”

Sun Xianzu nodded, arched his hand towards King Rui and said, "The prince is tolerant and elegant, and his subordinates are inferior to the ground." In the humble opinion of his subordinates, if he wants to save the county lord, he must not negotiate with the rogue. In the past, the rogue kidnapped the ticket, and the two sides went back and forth to the end, and almost all ended with tearing the ticket. Therefore, it is better to blackmail them directly than to blackmail them in the middle of the way, rescue the hostages, and do it once and for all. ”

King Rui waved his hand again and again: "No, the rogues are as ferocious as beasts, and they must not be treated with people's hearts." It's too urgent, and the little woman's life is hard to protect! ”

Sun Xianzu shook his head and said, "The prince has misunderstood. The meaning of the subordinates, we are prepared by both sides, alternating between virtual and real. Lord Wang, you sent people to come and go with the thief Zhao on the surface, and your subordinates took advantage of the thief's slack to find out the situation and surprise the soldiers. The subordinates promised that after this battle, they would rescue the county lord at best, and there would be no place for the Liukou in this Hanzhong Mansion in the future. ”

Liu Shaozong also lost no time in arching his hand and said: "My subordinates are willing to work side by side with Sun Zongrong to save the daughter of King Rui and share the worries of the city." ”

After hearing this, King Rui's face turned slightly pale, and he was about to agree, but Liu Yuyang interjected: "At the beginning, the thieves were scattered, and the two of them did not seize the opportunity to break them individually. ”

When he said this, King Rui received his words in time, and looked at Sun Xianzu with his lips pursed.

Sun Xianzu was stabbed horizontally by Liu Yuyang, scolded angrily in his heart, and said with a righteous face on his face: "Lord Liu is capable and proficient in government affairs, but the old man has been in the army for decades, but he can brazenly say that he is slightly better than the adult in military affairs." Mr. Liu is well-read, and he has heard the saying that 'soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent', and the current situation is like this. Although there are many thieves, they abandon the steep mountains and gather in one place, and they also have the help of King Rui, so that they can slack their hearts, and this sincere God gives us a good opportunity to destroy the thieves. We will cut through the mess with a quick knife, seize the opportunity, and make immortal achievements in a war! ”

Liu Shaozong echoed: "What Mr. Sun said is very true, instead of chasing with the thieves for many years, it is better to catch them all at this time. At that time, I was afraid that if I could rescue the county lord, the prince would have an honor of 'helping to suppress meritorious'! ”

Sun Xianzu and Liu Shaozong sang and harmonized, Liu Yuyang was very disgusted with the way they were grouped, and he wanted to refute the wording in his belly, but King Rui seemed to think so, and said without waiting for him to speak: "It's not that Sun Zongrong said, this king really didn't come up with so much." We are the courtiers, sharing worries for the monarch, and relieving difficulties for the country is really the first priority. How can the safety of the little girl be compared with national events? Suppress thieves and help the country, this king should go all out! ”

King Rui has been able to expand his family business over the years, not only because of the convenience brought by the title of "prince" on his head, but also because his mind is still very lively. As soon as he heard that he could catch up with the righteousness of saving his daughter, how could he let go of this opportunity to win the reputation of "virtuous king" for himself?

Sun Xianzu smiled and stroked his palms and said: "I and a few others should be in the same boat, the upper is the king to destroy the thief, and the lower is also to calm the people of my Hanzhong." I only hate bad luck, and I have never been able to coordinate one place. Today, with the prince taking the lead, we can plan a few times here. After speaking, King Rui and Liu Shaozong both nodded yes.

The two largest military leaders in Hanzhong City were Sun Xianzu and Liu Shaozong. And Liu Shaozong is young and less assertive, because in the final analysis, the military affairs in the city are basically Sun Xianzu's words. He really wanted to do something, and he did it a long time ago, so why wait until now? Liu Yuyang sneered in his stomach and watched the changes.

Sun Xianzu occupied the moral high ground, and he talked wildly, thinking that he had stabilized the scene, and then he half-squinted, reached out and picked up the jasper wine glass in front of him, took it to his eyes and looked at it and said slowly: "Lord Wang, look at this wine glass." ”

"How's the wine glass?"

"This glass is precious, but if you don't have the wine in it, you lose its value. It's as if it's in my hands now, it's empty, there's nothing, it's neither to eat nor to wear, it's like an ordinary stone. ”

King Rui was stunned, didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Mr. Sun, please speak clearly." ”

Sun Xianzu put down his wine glass, opened his eyes and said, "A few of us are now serving the king, sharing honor and disgrace." Destroy the thief, and everyone will be well; Losing the county seat or even the prefecture is not good for everyone. Isn't it, Lord Wang? ”

The city of Hanzhong was broken, and the biggest victim was naturally King Rui, who responded: "Sort of." ”

"And now that the county lord is in trouble, the matter of suppressing thieves should be put on the agenda. I'm waiting for a martial artist, I don't know anything else, I only know how to go into battle and kill the enemy. However, a truth is still clear, that is, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there is no food in her stomach, and the thief is really powerless. Sun Xianzu's majestic voice rolled out of his throat, without the slightest bit of mud and water, "The imperial court already owes our army half a year's salary, and An Yuanbo's side also has three months' full number." There is no food to eat, even if An Yuanbo and I intend to break the thief, I am afraid that no one will follow him. ”

Speaking of which, in the end, Sun Xianzu confided in the truth - this is clearly asking for money from King Chaorui.

The county lord was trapped, and King Rui had a request for the soldiers, and his momentum had already fallen behind; And Sun Xianzu has a lotus tongue and uses righteousness as a foreshadowing, and King Rui regrets it at this time, and he doesn't want to be cheeky. Liu Yuyang secretly said in his heart that Sun Xianzu is really old and spicy, worthy of the old army leader for decades, this set of traps that take advantage of the fire to rob is not exposed. Moreover, judging from the experience of the previous failures in the impeachment of Sun Xianzu, Sun Xianzu dared to express his stance like this, and perhaps he did have no fear. If King Rui is really shameless and broken, and impeachment, he may not be able to shake Sun and Liu, who are both strong in the background and strength.

Although Liu Yuyang disdained King Rui's attitude of not caring about himself in the past, he was driven by a sense of justice, and he did not want to sit back and watch him being blackmailed by the treacherous and cunning Sun Xianzu in vain, and was about to say two words of justice, but Sun Xianzu rushed before him again and said: "Not only me and An Yuanbo, these days, most of the villagers and people who were temporarily recruited to guard the city abandoned their own industries and devoted themselves to the country. The wife and children at home have no one to rely on, and they are in urgent need of help. The prince is kind-hearted and will not sit idly by and watch his people suffer. ”

Speaking of this, under the gray eyebrows, the thin eyes glanced towards Liu Yuyang. When Liu Yuyang heard this, he was speechless, but he couldn't say anything against it.
