"PS: Make up for yesterday's second update."

———— the following text————

It didn't take long for several Wei soldiers from the Junshui Battalion to come to Zhao Hongrun's study with the help of Pingyujun Xiong Hu, who had not completely healed from his leg injury.

accompanied by the two generals of the Pinghui Army, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo.

Obviously, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo spared no effort to show their hearts to Zhao Hongrun, so that Zhao Hongrun trusted them even more that they had abandoned the past, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to look at the old master Xiong Tuo, the former lord of Xuancheng.

"Very good...... Very good......"

It is undeniable that when Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, saw Qu Cheng who was smiling at him, his expression was a little distorted, because he had suspected that Qu Cheng had already taken refuge in the Wei State, but he was not caught by him at that time, and now this scene confirmed that his original suspicion was correct.

"Xiong should have killed you in the first place......"

Xiong Tuo said with a gloomy face, his eyes aimed at Qu Cheng's resentful color, and even to the extent of targeting Zhao Hongrun.

Thinking about it, after all, the reason why he hates Zhao Hongrun is nothing more than that Zhao Hongrun defeated him, so to be exact, Xiong Tuo's skills are not as good as others, but Qu Cheng, that is the general who betrayed him and Xiong Hu.

Looking at Xiong Tuo's gloomy gaze, Qu Cheng's face was calm, and he said with a smile: "Perhaps, there is no such opportunity." ”

"Humph!" Xiong Tuo snorted coldly, then looked at Yan Mo again, and muttered with some unacceptability: "Yan Mo, even you ......."

It can be seen that Yan Mo still feels guilty about Xiong Tuo, and when he heard this, he lowered his head and did not reply.

Seeing this, Xiong Tuo was a little disheartened.

Qu Cheng is okay to say, after all, it is accurate to say. Qu Cheng is the general of Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu, but Yan Mo is the general he single-handedly promoted from a thousand generals to three thousand generals, so Yan Mo's betrayal to Xiong Tuo is much greater than Qu Cheng's betrayal.

At this time, Xiong Tuo saw Xiong Hu, the Pingyu Jun, who was supported by two Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion. His cousin.

"Amber, what's wrong with your leg?"

Pingyujun Xiong Hu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hongrun.

Seeing this, Xiong Tuo's heart was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun with anger on his face, and said through gritted teeth: "Ji Run, you dare to ......"

Seeing this situation, Xiong Hu knew that he was going to suffer, and hurriedly shouted to stop his cousin Xiong Tuo. With a wry smile on his face, he said to him from the bottom of his heart: "Childe, Xiong Hu can get away with his life, and it is already His Royal Highness Ji Run who is particularly kind." ”

"......" Xiong Tuo was silent when he heard this.

In fact, he also understood that according to what his cousins Xiong Tuo and Xiong Amber had done to Wei in the past, even if Zhao Hongrun had a grudge against them, it would not be too much to kill them all.

In the end, he was just angry when he saw that his cousin, who had supported him since childhood, was treated as a captive that did not suit the nobility.

"Humph!" Snorting coldly at Zhao Hongrun, Xiong Tuo said to Xiong Hu: "Amber." These Wei people even suspect that Ben Gongzi sent someone to try to kill the envoys last time, you tell them. ”

"The envoys last time?" Pingyujun Xiong Hu turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun in surprise when he heard this. His eyes seemed to say: Isn't that what you Wei people did?

However, in the end, he didn't dare to answer so directly, but said lightly: "His Royal Highness Ji Run, Tuo Gongzi and Xiong Mou, have never harmed that team of envoys, and we can swear to the ghosts and gods in this matter." ”

Speaking of which, although the Chu people also respect heaven and earth like the Great Wei. But he is more fearful of ghosts and gods, not to mention that the Chu State is still prevalent in 'witches and ghosts', so if a Chu person can swear to ghosts and gods, then his words. Almost trustworthy.

"If that is the case, how can you raise an army of 160,000 in such a short time? …… As far as this king knows, the state of Chu follows the strategy of "farming and warfare", and if there is no war, those soldiers should be engaged in farming. ”

When Pingyujun Xiong Hu heard this, he did not hide it, and slowly told the truth, but the truth he said was the same as Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng: "When the army first started, there were only 60,000 soldiers of Tuogongzi, and he originally planned to attack Fenchengsai. …… However, after the news from the king, I will form an army and join Tuo Gongzi......"

"How?" Xiong Tuo looked at Zhao Hongrun with a sneer.

When Zhao Hongrun heard this, he silently glanced at Bailiba, and the two of them saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

The reason is very simple: if this person is really not what Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, said, then it is only possible that they really did it by the Wei people.

killed more than 200 people in one go, and never let go of a single living mouth, it is obvious that the other party was premeditated, and it could not be a wrongful killing.

"It seems that this matter, after returning to Daliang, I have to notify the Criminal Department to investigate it again......

Zhao Hongrun said secretly in his heart, after all, right now, this is not the time to investigate this matter.

And Xiong Tuo and Huang Arsenic obviously also noticed the looks of Zhao Hongrun and Bailiba, and secretly remembered them in their hearts.

It can be seen from the expressions of Zhao Hongrun and Baili Ba that they have not yet found the team that attacked their envoys of the Chu State, but after ruling out the possibility that the murderer behind the scenes was Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, only the Wei people were left with the greatest suspicion.

But Huang Arsenic did not immediately say this matter, after all, in his opinion, Zhao Hongrun and others had no clue about it, and rashly mentioning it would only add unnecessary unpleasantness to both sides.

That would be a good bargaining chip.

Xiong Tuo, on the other hand, considered it more directly: when he saw that Zhao Hongrun was speechless, he was already very happy in his heart.

"Now that the peace treaty has been signed, we will take our leave. …… Amber, go! ”

As he spoke, Xiong Tuo motioned to the two guards behind him to help Ping Yujun Xiong Hu.

However, at this time, Zhao Hongrun shouted to stop Xiong Tuo: "Wait!" ”

Xiong Tuo frowned and glanced back at Zhao Hongrun, but saw Zhao Hongrun pointing at Pingyujun Xiong Hu, and said lightly: "You can go, but he can't." ”

"Why?"

Zhao Hongrun laughed and said: "Xiong Hu, but the prisoner of our army, how can you let you say that you will take it away?" ”

"What do you want?"

"Take the money to ransom." Zhao Hongrun rubbed his thumb and index finger.

Obviously, he was still thinking about Xiong Tuo's wealth in the city.

"Isn't the armistice already signed?" Xiong Tuo asked in amazement.

Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips lightly: "Who stipulated that when the two sides signed an armistice and peace treaty, the prisoners must be released unconditionally?" …… Besides, he eats and lives in our army these days. You see, there are special people to serve, and they don't cost money, right? He pointed to the two Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion who were supporting Xiong Hu and added.

Xiong Tuo frowned and asked, "How much?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun look Xiong Hu up and down a few times, and said lightly: "He." And that Yang Jun Xiong Qi, right? The package price is 500,000 for two people. ”

"What?!" Xiong Tuo almost spurted out a mouthful of blood when he heard this: "500,000?!" ”

He said in his heart that the compensation of their Chu State for the invasion of Wei State was 500,000!

"Two people, 100,000!" Xiong Tuo said hatefully.

"Two people 100,000?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Xiong Tuo with a smile, shook his head and said, "One hundred thousand, you can only redeem one arm and one leg of Xiong Hu...... Do you want left or right? ”

"You ......" Xiong Tuo's face rose red, and he didn't dare to reduce the price anymore, after all, this was simply a joke about Xiong Hu, the cousin who had always supported him.

I thought about it for a long time. Xiong Tuo gritted his teeth, endured the feeling of distress in his heart as if he was dripping blood, and said in a deep voice: "A certain Xuancheng does not have so much savings, three hundred and fifty thousand, at most. …… If you're not enough, Xiong Hu and I will die here today! With that, he looked up at Zhao Hongrun. said coldly: "If Xiong Hu and I die in Zhengyang today, don't say that you Ji Run can't get the money on the contract just now." I believe that since then, Chu and Wei have been dying, and you don't want to see it, right? ”

Just as Huang Arsenic commented on Zhao Hongrun and Xiong Tuo in his heart, he was afraid of the wolf at both ends.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Hongrun is very similar to Xiong Tuo's personality, they are the kind of people who will ignore it once the fire starts, therefore. Xiong Tuo didn't dare to anger Zhao Hongrun too much, and Zhao Hongrun didn't dare to force Xiong Tuo too much.

"If you see it, take it......" Baili Ba, who also saw a little clue, whispered in Zhao Hongrun's ear and persuaded him, anyway, in his opinion, they Wei Guo made a lot of money this time. There is no need for the "150,000" to ruin everything that has been negotiated.

"150,000, that's 15 million......

Zhao Hongrun muttered a word, but he could also see that if he persecuted Xiong Tuo again, Xiong Tuo was likely to really die in the net, thinking of this, he nodded slowly: "Make a note!" ”

"Humph!"

Not long after, Bailiba personally wrote a note, and the famous two parties were Zhao Hongrun and Xiong Tuo, because this did not belong to the peace treaty.

From the side, Dr. Huang Arsen, a doctor of Chu Guoshi, was silent.

Although he regretted that Yu Fang did not mention the capture in the contract, he also understood that even if he mentioned it at that time, Zhao Hongrun would not be able to release Pingyujun Xiong Hu for free.

He could see that Zhao Hongrun kept Xiong Hu and did not kill him, obviously in order to slaughter Xiong Tuo, who made Xiong Hu Xiong Tuo's most trusted cousin?

There is also Xiong Qi, the king of the sun, as Xiong Tuo's supporter, whether it is out of affection, or Xiong Tuo still hopes that they will help govern Chuxi, Xiong Tuo will not give up on these two, even if the family is bankrupt.

I believe that this is also the reason why Zhao Hongrun is so sure.

"Satisfied, right?"

Xiong Tuo signed his name on the two notes and also stamped his handprint, after all, he did not carry his personal seal with him.

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun chuckled twice, carefully put away one of the notes, and then said to Xiong Tuo and the others with a smile: "If a few people go, they won't leave a few people to eat." ”

"Humph!" Xiong Tuo snorted coldly, walked straight to Xiong Hu, helped him out of the study, and did not forget to remind Zhao Hongrun when he left: "Release Xiong Qi as soon as possible!" ”

"For the sake of this note, you'll soon see him again." Zhao Hongrun raised the note in Yang's hand, and did not stop Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu from leaving.

After all, people in this era are honest and countries are founded on "faithfulness", so the more powerful the people are, the more they will not easily break their promises.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun is not afraid of Xiong Tuo's rebellion, because if he dares to do this, as long as Zhao Hongrun takes out the evidence as evidence, there will be no talented people to defect to Xiong Tuo in the future.

The money is gone, you can save it again, but if the credibility falls, then the person will be ruined, and I believe that Xiong Tuo will not make such a stupid decision.

"These three hundred and fifty thousand...... I won't report it, let's divide it ourselves. ”

After seeing Xiong Tuo, Xiong Hu, and Huang Arsenic, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and winked at Bailiba and Qu Cheng, the two commanders of the first army.

"Don't report to the imperial court (Wei imperial court)...... Why』

Bailiba and Qu Cheng glanced at each other, and did not speak very tacitly.

You must know that the special products worth '350,000' Chu are sold in Dawei, which is a lot of money.

Who said that the generals of Wei did not love money?

It's just a matter of taking it in the right way! (To be continued.) )
