Two days passed quickly, Wu Lie, the general of the Miao Kingdom, found some big cars and asked Shen Leng to take them in the car, and thousands of elites of the Miao Kingdom escorted them to the border city of Xiaozhaocheng, and the relationship between the Miao State and the Nanli State was not close, and the Nanli State was seeking to establish a subject country, although it was relatively far weaker than the Miao State, but if the Miao State used troops to seek the establishment of the Nanli State, it would not sit idly by, and if the Miao State used troops against the Miao State, Nanli would also send troops to contain one side.

Xiaozhao City is a dangerous place for the previous battles between the Qiao State and Nanli, only the people are required to attack the Qiao State, and the Nanli people will inevitably besiege Xiaozhao City, but to this day, the siege is no less than dozens of times, and Xiaozhao City has never been breached.

The people of Nanli are not stupid, they only need to contain the troops in the eastern frontier of the Miao Kingdom, so why do they really need to fight the strength of the whole country.

The total strength of the entire Nanli Kingdom is almost on a par with the military strength of the eastern frontier of the Miao Kingdom, so that the border army of the eastern frontier of the Miao Kingdom cannot rush to the aid of the northern Xinjiang.

The scale of Xiaozhao City is very large, and behind the city is the east-west straight road of the Miao Kingdom, and you can run to the capital of the Miao Kingdom in one breath along this straight road, so the Xiaozhao City is naturally heavily guarded, and there is a Yongzi battalion known as the strongest border army in the eastern part of the Miao Kingdom, plus the border troops in various places, the total strength of the Eastern Xinjiang is not less than 100,000.

Wu Lie doesn't think much of the Eastern Frontier Army, he is a general from the Northern Frontier Army, how many times has he killed Qiu Liren? Although every time he loses...... But this did not prevent him from looking down on the Eastern Frontier Army who only dared to play with the Nanli people.

Fortunately, the relationship between Shi Dongcheng and the military behind them is not bad, and he also has a close personal relationship with Yan Chengli, the general of Xiaozhaocheng in Eastern Xinjiang.

This is the intricate relationship within the country.

The military generals have military power on the surface, but they have no status, everything in the court is the civil official, the emperor of the Miao Kingdom is more focused on civilian officials, the military general is poked there as a stake most of the time, without saying a word, that is, when going out, the emperor will also appoint civilian officials as the supervisors, the generals say that they have military power, it is better to say that they have the right to train soldiers, and when they are fighting, they are mostly a group of supervisors who have not fought a war.

Therefore, the crown prince Shi Changhua naturally has to have a good relationship with the civil officials, and with the support of these important ministers in the court, there will be no obstacles to his succession to the throne in the country.

And the prince Shi Dongcheng's background is relatively low, those civil officials are not optimistic about him, and he was sent to Ningguo as a proton, so his only way is to have a good relationship with the generals, over the years relying on the huge income of the Yangtai ticket number to buy off the military generals from all over the country, it is really a last resort, he still has the strength to fight, his promise to those generals is that if one day he ascends the throne as the emperor, he will never let the civilian officials interfere in military affairs.

This is naturally a great temptation for the generals of the Miao Kingdom, but do they really dare to rebel? I'm afraid that Shi Dongcheng himself doesn't have any confidence in his heart.

To make a comparison between the sizes of the countries, Nanli is the size of a palm, the country of Qiao and Qiu Li are almost the size of an arm, the country of Comb outside the East China Sea is a thigh, and Daning and Heiwu are naturally giants.

If the alliance of the countries of the Western Regions is impregnable, it can also be compared with the giants, and if the neighboring countries of the Black Martial Arts can join forces, they can also resist the Black Martial Arts, but how can they be so solid between countries.

The distance from Xianlai City to Xiaozhao City is not very far, and the team is marching mightily, which makes Shen Leng feel a little unbelievable that there are a large number of monks in the team.

It is amazing that Qiuli and the Kingdom of Qi were so hostile, and both countries embraced Zen Buddhism.

The cart traveled slowly, it was already four days after arriving at Xiaozhao City, the team camped and rested after entering Xiaozhao City, Wu Lie asked Shen Leng to wait for a while, and the people sent by Shi Dongcheng to contact Nanli were already almost there.

In the afternoon, Wu Lie came to invite Shen Leng, saying that he had already entered Xiaozhao City, and now he was in the General's Mansion, so Shen Leng, Lin Luoyu, Chen Ran and others rushed to the Xiaozhaocheng General's Mansion, and when they entered the door, there were already many people sitting in the living room.

Seeing Shen Leng come in, Yan Chengli, the guard general of Xiaozhao City, and a group of officials hurriedly got up to salute, and one of the people sitting in the guest seat stood up symbolically, and sat down again without waiting for the salute to end, with a slightly arrogant attitude.

Yan Chengli glanced at the man, and then introduced to Shen Leng: "This is Gao Kuoyun, the servant of the Criminal Department of the Southern Li Kingdom, who was invited by His Highness to come here to negotiate the matter of saving people. ”

Gao Kuoyun glanced at Shen Leng and then picked up the teacup and drank tea, in his opinion, what if Shen Leng was a Ning person? It's not that he is asking himself, he can come, it is the 10,000 taels of silver sent to Shi Dongcheng to save face, not to give Ning Ren face.

Nanli is in the south of the country, and Daning is not only separated by the sea but also by the entire country, Nanli people never think that the Ning people will come across the mountains, rivers and seas, even if it is rumored that Daning is unrivaled by the outside world, they don't care.

They can only see the strength of Qiu Li, but they cannot see the strength of the Ning people.

"Squire of the Criminal Department, negotiate?"

Shen Leng frowned slightly.

Gao Kuoyun took a sip of tea: "This thing is not easy to do." ”

Shen Leng looked at Yan Chengli: "Offended." ”

Yan Chengli: "What? ”

Before they could react, Shen Leng grabbed Gao Kuoyun's collar and raised the person with one arm, Gao Kuoyun was still drinking tea, the teacup in his hand was overturned, and a cup of hot tea was all spilled on himself, he screamed in fright, and subconsciously wanted to kick Shen Leng, but where was the opportunity.

Shen Leng raised him with one arm and fell down violently, Gao Kuoyun's back smashed on the coffee table, and directly smashed the coffee table, in the exclamation of a group of people, Shen Leng dragged Gao Kuoyun's ankle to the outside of the living room, Gao Kuoyun's wailing and scolding were so sharp and poignant.

Yan Chengli and Wu Lie were also frightened, and their faces changed color, and they said in their hearts, how could this Ning person be so rude? Isn't this to negotiate to save people, come up and beat the people of Nan Liguo, how can this be discussed.

The two of them stepped forward at the same time to dissuade them, but they saw Lin Luoyu shaking their heads slightly at the two of them, and the steps of the two of them stopped at the same time, they all looked at Lin Luoyu with an incredible face, and said in their hearts, should they just let it go?

Gao Kuoyun was dragged outside by Shen Leng, Shen Leng beckoned, Dewey Ming immediately moved a chair out, Shen Leng sat down on the chair and looked at the Nanli official who was arranging his clothes indiscriminately, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Rip off his robe."

Shen Leng commanded, Chen Ran and Dewey went up to pull out the brocade clothes that Gao Kuoyun was wearing outside, and the two of them pulled Gao Kuoyun's two ankles on the left and right to run in the yard, if they just ran in a straight line, the two of them turned sharply from time to time, Gao Kuoyun was thrown off, and once his head hit the railing outside, and he immediately got up a big bag.

After a long while, Shen Leng nodded and signaled that it was okay to stop, and the two of them dragged Gao Kuoyun back.

Shen Leng pointed to the tall Kuoyun in front of him, who was dizzy, and couldn't stop begging for mercy: "General, general, stop it, everything is easy to discuss, this ...... Ahem, why bother. ”

"Stand up."

Shen Leng said three words in a flat tone, where can Gao Kuoyun stand up? After falling several times, he barely stood up, staggering, looking a little miserable, the clothes on his body were dirty, the back had been worn out, and a large piece of skin had been worn off, red and swollen.

With a bang, Dewey kicked Gao Kuoyun's leg in the crook, and Gao Kuoyun immediately knelt down with a thud.

"Remember, the general allows you to stand, but you can't stand, in front of Daning, you have to kneel if you are allowed to stand."

Dewey punched Gao Kuoyun three times in a row in the lower abdomen, Gao Kuoyun twisted in pain, and took a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Remember?"

"Remember...... Remembered. ”

No matter how Dewey Ming and Chen Ran did it, they never slapped their faces, so although Gao Kuoyun's face was extremely bad, there was not the slightest scar on that well-maintained face.

"Put clothes on him."

Shen Leng commanded, and then a soldier went over and draped the gorgeous-looking brocade robe over Gao Kuoyun's shoulders.

When he put on his clothes, he couldn't see that there were injuries on his body, and Shen Leng still needed him to go back to Nanli, at least on the surface, he couldn't leave any suspicious scars.

"What did you just say?"

Shen Leng asked.

What kind of sentence did Gao Kuoyunxin say...... After thinking about it carefully, he was dragged out and beaten up after saying a word before, which sentence should be difficult to do.

"This is the ...... It's not difficult. ”

He hurriedly nodded: "Ask the general to give me a few days, and I will definitely bring people back to the general." ”

"I don't need you to bring people back to me."

Shen Leng said: "I want you to bring me into Nanli Capital City." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Leng's eyes with shock, everyone kept asking, what is Shen Leng doing here? Obviously there is a chance to save people in an easier way, why does he have to go to Shengtu City, the capital city of Nanli?

He had already beaten Gao Kuoyun like this, and asked Gao Kuoyun to take him to Shengtu City, if Gao Kuoyun betrayed him, no matter how strong Shen Leng was, no matter how strong these dozens of people under him were, the soldiers of Nanli Kingdom in Shengtu City could pile them all to death with their lives, what an irrational decision.

"Questions?"

"General...... The general doesn't have to go into the city, he just needs to wait, and I'll send someone to you when I get back. ”

"You're going back? If you go back and kill our people, you will also think that you are afraid of what I will do when you have already returned, and I will have to keep an eye on you...... I'll go with you to bring people back, this back and forth still needs your escort, if the person arrives safely in Xiaozhao City, I will let you wear this clean brocade dress and go back decently, people can't come back, we die in Nanli, and you will die with us. ”

Gao Kuoyun was so frightened that he couldn't even kneel straight, and sat on the ground and begged: "General, why bother me so much, I have already promised to send people back to you......"

"What you promised, I don't need it, what I need is to watch my people walk out of the prison of your Criminal Department, watch them out of Shengtu City, and watch them out of Nanli Country with my own eyes...... If you and I are at war, it's just that, Daning sent envoys to give you enough face, but you didn't follow. ”

He looked at Chen Ran: "Go and arrest the entourage he brought, kill him in front of him, calculate how many days our people have been imprisoned, one knife a day, one less knife and one person dies, I will be held accountable by military discipline, and I will support Gao Kuoyun's eyelids and let him watch!" ”
