"That's a ...... Interesting. ”

Zhao Hongrun looked at Pingyujun Xiong Hu with an unexpected look.

Because Pingyujun Xiong Hu had been deceived by Zhao Hongrun's design and buried 60,000 Chu vanguard troops, Zhao Hongrun really didn't expect that this guy would be able to make such a sharp counterattack.

It is undeniable that Zhao Hongrun's trust in the four generals of Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, Wu Ma Jiao, and Wu Ji is based on the fact that he has cut off the retreat of the latter four, and he does not think that the four generals can still stay in Chu with peace of mind on the premise of killing the rest of the Chu generals who are unwilling to surrender and hurting Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu.

Since he couldn't gain a foothold in the Chu State, he had to honestly follow his instructions Zhao Hongrun.

But now, Pingyujun Xiong Hu personally promised that he could pardon the crimes of Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji, and pardon the actions of the four, including the four of them who had to carry a knife to hurt him under the coercion of Zhao Hongrun.

Let's not talk about whether this promise will make Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, Wu Ji and others have any other ideas, but it is foreseeable that Zhao Hongrun, who heard this sentence, his trust in the four generals will be greatly reduced.

In this case, will King Su Zhao Hongrun rest assured that Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, Wu Ma Jiao, and Wu Ji will be released back into the army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and still play the role of internal response? Won't you worry that these four generals will betray again after being pardoned by Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu?

Come to think of it, this is the key to the real "change of color" of the four generals.

No, seeing that Zhao Hongrun had a faint smile on his face, but he never said a word, the expressions of Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao also became uneasy.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongrun finally spoke.

"Interesting......" Looking at Pingyujun Xiong Hu, Zhao Hongrun's face showed a little surprise and surprise.

I have to say that the wisdom shown by Pingyu Jun Xiong Amber. Some are beyond Zhao Hongrun's expectations.

"What? If someone uncovers the trick, will you torture someone again? Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu asked with a calm expression, but he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, after all, he didn't want to feel the strong pain of the salt-burning wound again.

"No, no, no, no, no—"

Zhao Hongrun raised a finger and shook his head, and said calmly: "That's too bad." …… This king is a man who keeps the rules. As long as you are still within the 'rules', this king will not jump out of the 'rules' at a discount......"

"Rules?"

Pingyujun Xiong Hu glanced at Zhao Hongrun puzzled, he didn't really understand what the latter's so-called "rules" meant, and after thinking about it, he could only understand it as "vicious insults to his family".

"So, you won't tell someone to sprinkle a handful of salt on Benjun's wounds?"

Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Of course not." …… If this king really did this, wouldn't he have confirmed the fact that "you have made this king helpless"? No, no, no, this king won't do that. But this king will sprinkle a handful of salt in your heart......"

"I can't see it, this kid is still a very principled person......

Pingyujun Xiong Hu also glanced at Zhao Hongrun unexpectedly, and asked with a little curiosity: "What is the meaning of sprinkling salt in the mouth of this gentleman's heart?" ”

"Wait a minute." Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, and looked at Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji.

Although Pingyujun Xiong Hu didn't know why, he didn't speak rashly, he also wanted to see what this King Su of Wei wanted to do.

I saw Zhao Hongrun take a deep look at Qu Cheng, Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji, and suddenly set his eyes on Qu Cheng. He smiled and asked, "Qu Cheng, in fact, this king didn't plan to demolish your ...... so early Thou hast surrendered to this king. What are you going to do? ”

Qu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, his face showed a little dazed and puzzled, and then he said in surprise with a worried face: "Su...... His Royal Highness King Su, a certain ...... How can it be a scam? ”

"Hehehe." Zhao Hongrun smiled, stretched out two fingers and pointed to his eyes, and said calmly, "Do you know." Qu Cheng, this king has a strong memory, even if it is a casual glance, he will not forget it...... Therefore the king clearly remembers when he brought men into the tent. You're sitting next to Xiong Amber, right? ”

"......" Qu Cheng opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

"In the impression of this king, the state of Chu is a country with a very, very strict hierarchy, so no matter when the Chu people are, they are very careful about their location......" Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun pointed to Gu Liangwei, Wu Ma Jiao, and Wu Ji, and continued: "Gu Liang and Wu Ma, Fang Cai is sitting farther away than you, and Wu Ji ...... He can only sit on the periphery, because he is only a thousand generals. And you...... But he was sitting next to Pingyujun Xiong Amber. …… Why? ”

"A certain ...... A certain good is also a ...... of three thousand people," Qu Cheng said with a wry smile.

That's a good answer. But the problem is, as you just said, Xiong Hu doesn't value you, but even so, you can still sit next to him......"

"I ......"

"You don't have to rush to defend yourself first." Zhao Hongrun interrupted Qu Cheng's words, pointed to the two corpses in the tent and asked, "Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao, what are the positions of those two?" ”

Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao glanced back, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Huisu, those two are generals. ”

"How is the position compared to Wu Gan and Shen Kang?"

"It's hard to distinguish between the inferior and the inferior, all of them are Xiong Hu's henchmen."

"Sure enough." Zhao Hongrun smiled, looked at Qu Cheng again, and asked with a smile: "Qu Cheng, can you explain, why can you, a subordinate general under the command of the original Xiang Chengjun, who keeps saying 'not to be valued', sit with those two henchmen under Xiong Amber's command?" …… Don't deny it, the memory of this king can't go wrong! ”

"......" Qu Cheng opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

Seeing this, Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji's faces changed suddenly, and they subconsciously kept their distance from Qu Cheng.

At the same time, more than a dozen crossbowmen behind Zhao Hongrun quickly aimed their crossbows at Qu Cheng.

Seeing this scene, a trace of surprise flashed in Qu Cheng's eyes, and he frowned just now, and he didn't know whether to take action.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun suddenly raised his hand and stopped everyone, including Qu Cheng.

"Don't move! …… Qu Cheng, don't act rashly. In fact, this king is very optimistic about you and does not want you to die here in vain. ”

『……』

Qu Cheng glanced at the dozen or so Wei crossbowmen who had aimed their crossbows at him, and then glanced at Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji, who had kept a distance from him, and then looked at Zhao Hongrun with a solemn gaze.

"A certain ...... I don't understand what His Highness means......"

"Don't admit it? It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Do you know where you showed your feet?" Because you're so meticulous, you know? …… In order to gain the trust of this king, you told this king in detail about the grievances and contradictions between the two branches of the same Xiong clan, "Mi" and "Qu", and deliberately mentioned that you were originally a subordinate general of Xiangchengjun Xiong Ling, but Xiangchengjun Xiong Ling did not agree with Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu...... Why explain in such detail? Because you want to gain more trust from this king! ”

"Forgive...... I can't approve it. Qu Cheng shook his head, frowned and said, "Since Qu has decided to surrender to His Royal Highness King Su, he naturally hopes to gain more trust from His Royal Highness King Su......

"Then what do you explain when you betrayed, Xiong Amber's shocked look? Isn't it because he has a lot of trust in you? Zhao Hongrun glanced at Pingyujun Xiong Hu with a smile, but unfortunately the latter looked at Qu Cheng with a complicated expression and didn't say a word.

"This ...... That doesn't mean anything. Qu Cheng said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, a certain person killed a former colleague with his own hands, and according to His Highness's words, he stabbed Xiong Hu, isn't this enough to prove that he really surrendered to His Royal Highness King Su?" ”

"Of course it can't be proven. …… Because what you want to protect is only Xiong Hu alone, and you don't hesitate to stab him for this purpose, right? …… You seemed shocked when the king proposed to threaten you with Xiong Amber, but in fact, you had already guessed it, right? ”

"A certain ...... I don't understand what His Highness means. ”

"You can not admit it, including the sentence that Xiong Hu offered to pardon you and others. In my king's view, your surprise is not that "his words will destroy my king's trust in you," but that "his words will make your deception meaningless," right? ”

"A certain ......" Qu Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to explain, but was stopped by Zhao Hongrun raising his hand.

"You don't have to defend yourself, in fact, it doesn't matter if you admit it or not, because this king has a good impression of you. This king will not kill you, but will still release you as originally agreed and let you return to Xiong Tuo's army......"

『……』

Hearing this, Qu Cheng finally showed a slight distraction.

As if seeing through Qu Cheng's thoughts, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "Qu Cheng, the human heart, is a very complex existence. …… Take a step back and say, today you have succeeded in your plan, when this king asked you to wait until you returned to Xiong Tuo's army, quickly reported Gu Liangwei, Wu Ma Jiao, and Wu Ji, and conspired with Xiong Tuo to calculate this king, and even went one step further and defeated this king. …… At that time, the king had a grudge, and nine times out of ten he would put Xiong Hu back, and when the time came, you could explain it or you could get Xiong Hu's understanding. But have you ever thought about the future? Ever wondered if Xiong Amber will always remember your life-saving grace? ”

“……”

"Ten or twenty years, the kindness in my heart that I was saved by you will gradually fade away, but the scar you left on Xiong Hu's left leg will always remain...... Every time he sees that scar, he thinks of you, of the humiliation he had been captured by this king, of the humiliation he will never forget...... What do you think he will do? ”

“……”

"He'll choose to kill you! …… Because after Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, and Wu Ji were killed by you, you were the only survivor who witnessed how he was humiliated by our generals. Zhao Hongrun said categorically.

"......" Qu Cheng opened his mouth, and his eyes were no longer as firm as before. (To be continued.) )
