After reading the edict, Jiang Tong also put it away, looked at Zhong Li and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Zhong." ”

But at this moment, Zhongli still knelt there as if he hadn't heard, bowing his head and pondering something.

"General Zhong, General Zhong......" Jiang Tong called twice.

"Huh?" Only then did Zhongli come back to his senses.

"The general still doesn't take the order?" Jiang Tong said, and also handed the edict to Zhongli.

"Yes, yes, Wechen obeys the king's order." Zhongli hurriedly said, also raised his hands high, and respectfully took the edict.

After everyone got up, Jiang Tong also bowed his hand again and said: "The general has become a young marquis, which shows the king's trust in the general, and the lower official is here to congratulate." ”

He didn't know that Lu Chen had murderous intentions towards Zhongli, and the only people who knew about this matter were Chen Qun's three strategists, so after announcing the decree, his attitude towards Zhongli was very respectful, of course, he also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Zhongli, after all, he was now a Qinghou.

And he called himself a subordinate official, and he was so respectful, Zhongli was also quite useful, and couldn't help but say: "Where is it, Lord Jiang has been tired and hard, this Hou has set up a banquet in the hall, Lord Jiang is here, please." ”

"Ah, Master Hou, please." Jiang Tong also hurriedly said.

During the banquet, Zhongli's generals stepped forward to toast, and everyone congratulated them, but in terms of atmosphere, there was a feeling that Jiang Tong, an official of the Wind Country, was treated as an outsider.

Of course, Jiang Tong also noticed this, you know, now Zhongli is a courtier under Lu Chen, and everyone is also a courtier, after drinking a glass of wine, Jiang Tong couldn't help but say: "It seems that the generals under the Hou Ye are not very welcome to the subordinates." ”

"Huh?" Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Where did Master Jiang say, I misunderstood, I misunderstood." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said to everyone: "Come, let's all toast Master Jiang with a glass." ”

When everyone heard this, they first looked at each other, and then they all took their cups and said, "Lord Jiang, please-"

"Ah, please, please, please ......," Jiang Tong also hurriedly said.

Although his official position is not high, but he came with the king's edict, it is naturally different, on the surface, how dare Zhongli offend him, otherwise, after Jiang Tong goes back, if he has any reason to join him, then he can stand it!

This banquet was quite lively, and after the banquet, Jiang Tong was also drunk and sent back to the room.

At this moment, in the hall, Zhongli was slowly pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

After a while, a general stepped in, clasped his fists and said, "Zhong Shuai." ”

"Huh?" Zhongli frowned and glanced at the general with displeasure.

"Ah, it's a subordinate who is clumsy, Master Hou." The general hurriedly changed his words.

Qinghou Qinghou is naturally not comparable to the previous Zhennan Hou, nor is it comparable to the commander of the first army, this Qinghou, theoretically speaking, is the largest one in Qingdi!

Seeing that the general changed his words, Zhongli also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Have you already sent Master Jiang to rest?" ”

"Yes, Master Hou, I just sent it back to the room, and I'm not very drunk." The general replied.

"Well, this person can't be offended, and he will continue to entertain him tomorrow." Zhongli said a word, and also waved his hand to signal the general to step back.

When he retreated, he also looked at Fang Xi, and said with worry: "Sir, the Wind King has just named me a Qinghou, and then ordered me to march south, what does it mean?" ”

Fang Xi didn't answer immediately, but said hurriedly: "Oh, Master Hou, you can't call the King of the Wind anymore, you should be called the king, otherwise, it will be spread out and used by others, and Lord Hou's life will not be guaranteed." ”

He was right, if Zhongli dared to call Lu Chen like that, instead of calling him the king or the king, then with this truth, if he really wanted to be more serious, he could set Zhongli a heart of rebellion.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was my slip of the tongue, Mr. reminded me." Zhongli also reacted.

At this time, Fang Xi also began to say: "No matter what the king means, right now, Hou Ye has become a young marquis, and the king's edict is also clearly written, Hou Ye will be able to perform the courtesy of the princes in the future, which is enough to explain the current identity of Hou Ye." ”

"Yes." Zhongli nodded, obviously, he was very, very satisfied with this Qinghou.

Fang Xi said again: "Since the king ordered the Hou Ye to march south, then the Hou Ye must obey, if he does not accept the king's order, it will be a rebellion!" And the Southern Expedition, for Hou Ye, what is it, take the initiative to surrender to the Southern Barbarians, and submit the surrender table, and the greater the merit of Hou Ye, the more stable his position will be? ”

"Yes, it makes sense, it makes sense." When Zhongli heard this, he nodded again and again, and said, "Then my department, let's continue to go south." ”

Now Zhongli, how could he dare to disobey Lu Chen's royal order, if he dared not accept it, Lu Chen would definitely deal with him immediately!

The next day, after another banquet, Jiang Tong also began to get up to say goodbye and return to the camp of the Feng Army.

After he returned to Lu Chen to restore his life, the latter also asked casually: "Let Zhongli go south, is he unwilling?" ”

Zhongli was very polite to Jiang Tong, but now when he saw Lu Chen asking, the latter didn't think about it, so he immediately said: "The king's edict, how dare Qinghou hesitate." ”

Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "Okay, you can retreat first." ”

"Yes." Jiang Tong replied and bowed back.

A few days later, Zhongli also began to lead the army to continue south, the team marched, the foot soldiers lined up in a long line, there was no end in sight, when he was about to arrive at the Nanxia Pass, Fang Xi also rode a horse to Zhong Li's side, while walking slowly, he said: "Hou Ye, the front is the Nanxia Pass, I don't know what Zhou Jian's position is now, if Hou Ye comes forward, he should still listen to Hou Ye." ”

Zhou Jian is Zhong Li's old subordinate, and Zhong Li naturally knows his people very well, and after hearing this, he thought about it and said, "Let's talk about it before the pass first." ”

Zhou Jian, the 50,000 people stationed at Nanxia Pass, was originally under the orders of King Qing, but now Zhongli wants to lead the army out of the pass, and with King Qing's order, he should stop it.

But after the team arrived at Nanxia Pass, there was no stern waiting, and there was no killing atmosphere, on the contrary, Zhou Jian hurriedly went out to greet him, and after seeing Zhongli, he was even more happy, and said again and again: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the Hou Ye——"

I thought that it would take a lot of time to talk here, but I didn't expect him to greet him in person, Zhongli saw this, he was already clear, and his heart was even more happy, but he still said on his face: "General Zhou, are you willing to continue to follow Benhou." ”

"Of course! The last general has been fighting with the Hou Ye for many years, and has pacified the Southern Barbarians several times! Now, Master Hou is on the march, and the last general should follow him to the death! Zhou Jian said directly.

"Good!" Zhongli Dayue said, "Switch it immediately, and kill the barbarian land with Ben Hou!" ”
