Three hours later.

At this time, on the tower of Yanmen Pass, Liu Xiuzheng was pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Young master, don't worry, General Tianbao is young, but his martial arts are also unstoppable. Besides, General Guan has already gone to answer in person, so nothing serious will happen. Feng Yi, who was standing on the side, saw that Liu Xiu was in such a hurry, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Alas! Uncle Feng, I know what you said, but that Temujin is scheming, and General Pei is young and frivolous, if he falls for that dog's trick, I'm afraid that ....." Before Liu Xiu's words were finished, he saw three horsemen galloping in the distance. Liu Xiu saw Guan Yu who was green in the middle, but Liu Xiu had never seen the other two rides.

The three horsemen galloped all the way, and in a short time they were under the city gate. Only then did everyone see clearly that Guan Yu was leaning on a person behind him, and this person was the Tianbao General - Pei Yuanqing. Seeing this, Liu Xiu hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate and go downstairs to check it himself.

As soon as he entered the city, Guan Yu immediately got off his horse, knelt in front of Liu Xiu and said, "Marshal!" The end will be dishonoring the mission! Failed to arrive in time, resulting in General Tianbao being seriously injured! ”

"Quick! Help General Tianbao down, please check it out with Lang Zhong! When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately ordered someone to treat Pei Yuanqing. immediately helped Guan Yu up again, and comforted him. Let it not blame itself. At this time, Liu Bei and others also got the news and hurriedly came to check on Guan Yu's situation. When he learned that Pei Yuanqing was seriously injured, Liu Bei also seemed anxious, and gave Pei Yuanqing the gold sore medicine he brought from Chang'an.

Although Pei Yuanqing had more than ten wounds on his body, fortunately, none of them hurt the vital parts. After Lang Zhong gave him gold sore medicine and bandaging, there was no major problem. As for why he was unconscious, it was just a moment of rapid anger and excessive bleeding, and it would naturally be fine if he rested for a few days.

After confirming that Pei Yuanqing was fine, everyone left and went to the barracks together. And Cheng Yanjin and Wang Bodang also followed closely behind Guan Yu, in fact, the two had long wanted to leave, but Liu Xiu didn't let them, so they had to thank the two of them.

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin naturally agreed with a big grin. But Wang Bodang was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he was a thief, and what he was in front of him was the official army. I'm afraid that Liu Xiu will know the identities of the two, which will cause unnecessary disputes.

After arriving at the barracks, Liu Xiudang even asked people to put on a banquet and warmly entertained the two. After everyone drank about half a lamp, Liu Xiu began to ask for the names and information of the two. Cheng Yanjin drank a little high, and in the face of Liu Xiu's question, he didn't think about it, so he blurted out.

Until Liu Xiu asked what the two of them were doing. At this time, Cheng Yanjin, who was still arrogant before, suddenly fell silent.

And that Wang Bodang also clenched his fists. I thought to myself: "If this guy knows that the two of them are thieves, maybe he will arrest himself and the king, but it's a big deal to fight out, and he can't let him be caught if he dies!" ”

Guan Yu was drinking sullen wine on the side from the beginning of the banquet because of Pei Yuanqing's injury, and when he heard this question, he looked at the demeanor of the two. Guan Yu immediately stood up and said to Liu Xiu: "Marshal, the two of them are people from Chengle, because the border pass has been in war all the year round, so they have pulled up a group of people in Chengle, and they have been protecting Chengle from the suffering of war all these years......."

Before Guan Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Xiu: "Oh? Are you two bandits? ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the big tent, which was still very lively before, instantly quieted down, and it instantly seemed extremely embarrassing.

"Yes, we are bandits, I am the famous demon king of the mixed world, and I am the owner of Nawa Gangzhai. His name is Wang Bodang, and he is nicknamed Yong Saburo. Cheng Biting Jin said stubbornly.

And Wang Bodang was already secretly sorting out the quiver in his hand at this time, secretly thinking in his heart, how to escape from the camp with Cheng Yanjin when he started to move. After all, before everyone entered the camp, the weapons in their hands were accepted by the guards, and now in their own hands, the only offensive thing is the quiver in their hands.

"Humph! How daring! How dare you come to my camp alone! Come! Liu Xiu immediately snorted coldly.

When Wang Bodang saw it, he was about to raise his quiver and shoot at Liu Xiu, but Cheng bit Jin but his eyes were quick, and he pressed Wang Bodang's right hand, and then whispered: "Don't do it, I have my own way!" ”

Immediately, I saw Cheng Yanjin stand up and wave his big hand: "Wait!" ”

"Marshal Liu, it's good that Brother Bodang is a thief, but I don't have one in Wagangzhai: doing things that hurt nature and reason is a disaster. Two: We are also forced to do so, just to protect ourselves. Three, we also saved that General Pei Xiao today. We have no merit and no hard work. Do you want revenge, marshal? Kill me and Brother Bodang? ”

Seeing this, Guan Yu also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. Liu Bei on the side looked at it, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Yun Chang, Yun Chang, you are really going to find trouble for me!" ”

However, when the brothers were righteous, they said that they would advance and retreat together, and Liu Bei had to stand up and intercede with Guan Yu for Cheng Yanjin. And Zhang Fei and Zhang Dingbian behind Liu Bei naturally knelt down together.

"Cheng Biting Jin, Ben Shuai asked you, you have been in the grass for all these years, and you really haven't hurt the people?"

"Nope! The people of my Wagang Village have always been jealous of evil and hatred, good as streams, and have never killed innocents indiscriminately! Well behaved like a lamb! If you don't believe it, marshal, you can personally investigate, if someone says that I have hurt the people in Wagangzhai, it must be that he is making up nonsense and jealous of the food in my Wagangzhai! I saw Cheng Biting Jin patting his chest and saying.

"Hahahaha! This big man is really interesting, just like my old Zhang, I haven't read a book. Hahahaha" At this time, I only heard Zhang Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, laughing loudly.

The other people in the tent wanted to laugh, but they were in front of Liu Xiu, so they endured it, and they saw that Zhang Fei was the leader. They couldn't help laughing, and even Feng Yi couldn't help laughing.

At this time, in the face of everyone's laughter, Cheng Yanjin also laughed stupidly, revealing his white teeth. When everyone saw it, they were even more happy.

"Enough!" Seeing this, Liu Xiu immediately scolded. When the people below heard this, they quickly stopped smiling and sat upright.

"Cheng Yanjin, do you want to serve the country?" Liu Xiu looked at Cheng Yanjin and asked again.

"Serving the country? What kind of country to report, now the world is in chaos, and there is not even a Ming monarch. Who can I take refuge in? Cheng Yanjin touched the back of his head and said.

"Hahaha, Cheng Biting Jin, who said that there is no country to report, no king to vote?!"

"Then you say, who can I vote for?"

"Big Han!"

"Big Han?"

"That's right, now is the time for the Great Han to be rebuilt! It's the time to employ people. Although you are a coward, but this handsome person thinks of you as kind-hearted, and plans to recruit you to work for the Han, and you will be successful and famous in the future, and do a great career!

Of course, you can also choose not to agree, but if you don't agree to submit to the Han, Wagangzhai must be disbanded on the spot! If not, I will definitely send troops to level your Wagang Village and destroy your Cheng Biting Jin! Cut off your head and send it to Chang'an! The choice is yours! Liu Xiu said coercively.

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he secretly complained in his heart: "Unlucky! In addition to Zhao'an, I still have a way to go?! But this trick is also very good, after all, it can be regarded as doing things for the court in the future, and he has a name! ”

"Good! I promised to submit to the Great Han, but I had two conditions! ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it! As long as Ben Shuai can do it, he will definitely agree! Liu Xiu was overjoyed when he saw Cheng Biting Jin agreeing to surrender.
