Zhuang Ji slapped the table and said, "Okay, with your active cooperation, no matter what enemy comes, we can defeat it." ”

Zhong Yitong saw that Zhuang Ji was not in a hurry at all for his bet, and he was so anxious for Zhuang Ji that he couldn't sleep.

In this way, he took two people, plus the prison guard, a total of four people rode four horses, and hurried out of the city to pursue Wu Guanliang.

I don't know what the prison warden is for, he has been secretly following Zhong Yitong and the others, to the gate of the West City, watching Zhong Yitong and the prison guard and his team of horses out of the city, before nodding to himself and saying to himself: "Alas, I finally sent him out of the city." God, as soon as he got out of town, he was halfway there. ”

Jin Shang learned from the prison warden's mouth that Wu Guanliang was successfully sent out of the city, and took out the tea leaves of the Goddess Peak to entertain him and said: "The old man is in Wucheng, and the conditions are not as good as yours, the tea of this Goddess Peak is sent by others, and the old man is reluctant to drink it, today we will use it to celebrate Wu Guanliang's successful exit from the city." ”

The warden held up the teacup and said, "Thank you to the elders of the three dynasties, and I hope to give you more help in the future." ”

Jin Shang said with great interest: "After this incident is completed, it is necessary to promote you." ”

After listening to Jin Shang's words, the prison warden was overjoyed and left with full hope.

As soon as he arrived at home, he did something overnight to decide the future, which is quite popular in the local area, otherwise, why is it called Wushan Wucheng?

What the prison warden did was to conduct a sand table deduction overnight.

On his sand table, due north marks the king of Chu, with the king as the greatest, he naturally rules everything; On the left is Zilan, who is in charge of state affairs; Zhuang Ji on the right, the greatest hero of the Chu State today, the king of Wucheng also wants to listen to him; The opposite side of due north is the south, which is Jin Shang. He thought, this Jin Shang, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, naturally has unmatched qualifications, and now he is holding his thick legs.

The key figure now is Princess Jingyin. The princess returned safely, Zhuang Ji won, and kept her head; Otherwise, Jin Shang won and kept his official position, but Zhuang Ji would disappear from now on.

Thinking about it again, this Princess Jingyin is the sister of the current king, can the king hope that she will disappear and never return? Besides, although Zilan is a concubine, her official position is second only to the king, so it is impossible for Zilan's heart to let the princess not return. Qu Yuan, who did not go to the sand table, supported Zhuang Ji even more, and of course looked forward to the princess's safe return.

Oh, the prison warden pushed the sand table until midnight, repeatedly pushing back and forth about the relationship between the characters, and the strength of the relationship, only then did he understand that only Jin Shanglao hoped that the princess would not return, and only in this way could he win Zhuang Ji and keep his official position for the rest of his life.

The warden did not feel the slightest tiredness, he stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he said to himself in front of the sand table: "If you kill the princess and let her never come back, Zhuang Jitou will fall to the ground, is this possible?" Even if Zhuang Ji agrees, and the king has an order, will his army agree? His subordinates followed him all the way to Chuxi and regained the lost ground, but the great head fell on the gamble with Jin Shang? What a joke.

But thinking about it again, this was originally a game set up by Dawang, Jin Shang and Zilan together, intended to weaken Zhuang Ji's military power and take away his ambition to continue the westward expedition. Alas! It is true that Zhuang Ji has military power, but the king has this intention, and uses the princess's return or non-return to cut off his military abduction.

The king of the world, the king of the world. The king still has the right to do everything. From this point of view, Jin Shanglao's back is the hardest, and he still has a sure chance of winning. However, Zhuang Ji ...... Zhuang Ji is sure that the princess can return, does the king not want the princess to return? Impossible, impossible.

Alas, with such a contradictory gamble, why is it so difficult to guess who can win the bet?

He suddenly lifted the sand table and said: "Fuck your mother's sand table, I can't help at all, what use does Lao Tzu want you?" ”

After toppling the fragile sand table, the warden let out a long breath, then blew out the oil lamp and went out to welcome the breeze.

It's late at night.

The soldiers on duty in the No. 1 military camp came to Zhuang Ji's residence with a person.

The soldier on duty knocked lightly and pushed the door open.

I saw Zhuang Ji looking carefully in front of the sand table, and said to himself: "Yuanshui...... Yanshui ...... Great place...... Finally back......"

The soldier on duty said: "Report to the general, someone is looking for it." ”

Zhuang Ji didn't raise his head and said, "It's so late, who hasn't slept yet?" ”

"General Zhuang, it's me." The person behind the duty took the initiative to say.

Zhuang Ji raised his head and said, "Oh, come in." When he saw someone coming, he was shocked and said, "Prison warden? What are you doing here? It's so late, what's the matter? ”

The prison warden entered inside, looked at the sand table in front of him and said, "General Zhuang, if the subordinate doesn't come overnight, he won't be able to sleep." ”

Zhuang Ji still had something in his heart, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with this person, so he didn't ask him to sit down, but said coldly: "If you have anything else, tell me quickly." "Continue to look at his sand table.

The prison warden said in a riddle again: "General Zhuang, the lower officials mentioned it to the military masters during the day, saying that Wu Guanliang's disguise skills were superb, but they did not attract your attention. ”

Zhuang Ji asked with an "oh" sound, "What's the use of you talking about this now?" ”

The warden swallowed a few saliva and said hesitantly: "Alas, the general doesn't believe in the subordinates, and it's useless to say it, so it's better not to say it." ”

Zhuang Ji followed his words and said: "It's okay if you don't say it, for that gamble, you climbed Jin Shang, and now you want to eat on both sides, right?" It's useless, it's dead or alive, Zhuang Ji is just this head, and Jin Shang takes the gambling game seriously, it's his business. ”

The prison warden was not advanced or retreated by Zhuang Ji's attitude, stood awkwardly for a while, and said as if he had made up his mind: "General Zhuang, as I am a passer-by, I remind you that Wu Guanliang has already left the city, and is now riding the fast horse provided by your military to Zongcheng. ”

When Zhuang Ji heard this, he could no longer snub the prison officer in front of him. He asked, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

The prison warden said expressionlessly: "If the lower officials come to lie to you, will they come late at night?" ”

"Be specific." Zhuang Ji urged, "The others ran out of the city, do we still have time to chase them?" ”

The prison warden saw that Zhuang Ji's attention had been aroused, so he diverted the topic and said: "As General Zhuang said, Xia Guan is ignorant and confused by Dr. Jin Shang Jin, which provides convenience for him to win the gambling game, and Xia Guan is guilty. ”

Zhuang Ji heard the prison warden's voice, but deliberately pretended not to understand and said: "The exchange between you and Jin Shang is a matter between you, and there is no question of guilt or innocence." It's too late for you to say it now, Wu Guanliang has been sent out of the city by you, and you have come to deliver a letter to me, is it a demonstration, or a war letter? ”

The prison warden hurriedly explained: "Oh, General Zhuang, you have misunderstood, and the subordinate confessed to you, not for anything else, but just to insist on fairness and justice, and not to let honest people suffer." ”

"Then you go, the official knows." Zhuang Ji did not lightly order the eviction of customers.

When the rooster crowed, Erwa was ordered to go out of the city to chase Zhong Yitong.

When the Chu army marched west along the west, these two babies and Zhong Yitong worked together in the reconnaissance team in the south of the Yangtze River, and the two babies were timid and honest, Zhong Yitong took care of him a lot, and believed in him very much.

Erwa rode alone to catch up, although the mountain road was rugged and dangerous, but he traveled last night, changed horses at one stop, and flew on horseback continuously, and finally caught up with Zhong Yitong on the second night.

Outside the last post station in Zongcheng, Erwa saw Zhong Yitong, he didn't say anything polite, and asked: "Zhong Baichang, where is the prison guard?" ”

Zhong Yitong complained: "You tracked for thousands of miles, and when you saw this, you didn't ask me a cold feeling, but you asked about the prison guard who didn't know the edge, why is this?" ”

Erwa gasped and said, "I'm sorry Brother Zhong, this prison guard is ...... It's just ......" Erwa said and fainted.

Zhong Yitong saw that the second baby's body was weak and about to fall, so he supported him, carried him into the post house, put him on a stool, and shouted repeatedly: "Second baby, second baby......"

The hostess of the post station saw it and said, "Oh, what's the use of you just shouting, quickly pour some water on him, water is a life-saving conscience." As she spoke, she quickly brought a bowl of water and poured it directly into the second baby's mouth.

Zhong Yitong said gratefully: "What do I use to thank you, such a good female station master." ”

The hostess of the post station said: "You come a few more times, and you can thank the old lady for making her more happy." ”

Zhong Yitong was originally an idle citizen, and he learned military discipline with Zhuang Ji, and after being seduced by the heroine, he was itchy for the female sex in his heart, and when he was about to respond to the heroine, the second baby hummed, interrupting his lustful heart.

The second baby was moistened by the water and soon woke up, he grabbed Zhong Yitong's hand and asked, "Quick, where is the prison guard?" I want to see him. ”

Zhong Yitong immediately said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Erwa, you are unfortunate to come, and you are on duty with him...... He fell off a cliff and died. I've been thinking about how to explain this to General Zhuang, how to explain it to the prison warden, alas, this ghost thing has been spread out to my Zhong Yitong. ”

The second baby also sighed and said, "Alas, it's really unfortunate." ”

Zhong Yitong came back and said, "Hey, Erwa, you rushed last night just to find the prison guard who showed us the way?" ”

Erwa took a long breath and said, "Yes, Brother Zhong, you don't know, that prison guard is not an ordinary person." ”

Zhong Yitong urged: "Why is he unusual? ”

"The prison warden personally said to General Zhuang," Erwa breathed a sigh of relief, "He is the escaped Wu Guanliang......

Zhong Yitong said in surprise: "Huh? Are you mistaken? Wu Guanliang led the way for us to chase Wu Guanliang, this joke is a bit big. ”

Erwa said calmly: "Make no mistake, it's true." The prison warden personally reminded you that you were also present at the time, saying that Wu Guanliang's disguise technique was super high, which did not attract our attention. He was disguised and deceived us all. ”

Zhong Yitong remembered that he had been entangled with the guards in prison the night before, and when he thought about those details, he regretted it in his heart.

Erwa asked, where did he fall off the cliff, did he do it on purpose? 166 Reading Network
