At the beginning of the lanterns, Su Changmin, who received the silver reward and washed away the dust all the way, was happily walking in the brisk night of the capital with a few good brothers. The brothers were giggling and laughing, looking around with a smile, planning to find a lively wine shop, drink heartily, and completely relax their bodies and minds.

In a lively wine shop, a few people scraped together enough silver taels, ordered a table of sumptuous dishes, rolled up their sleeves and picked up the wine bowl, and began to drink and eat.

The little man "Tuwa", whose cheeks were flushed, pulled the sleeve of Lasu Changmin's coat and whispered in his ear: "Brother Changmin, how much money is left in the reward?" After a while of eating and drinking, let's go to the Yanliu River? I've always heard people say it's lively there. ”

Su Changmin stretched out his hand and touched the few pieces of silver left in his arms, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I think it's better to forget it, I'll drink too much for a while, and I can't do any, so I'm wasting silver taels in vain." You kid better save some flowers so that you can please your wife in the future! ”。

"Tuwa" looked down and thought about it in a daze, and said with a smile: "That's right, seeing that the world is too peaceful, and there is no war to fight, we can go back to our hometown together and continue to farm one day!" ”。

At this time, in front of the store, more than a dozen soldiers with swords on their waists and swords poured in, they were obviously regular customers here, and the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and nodded and said hello.

The person at the head nodded at the shopkeeper and said, "Isn't the business bad, it looks like it's all full." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said: "It's a blessing for you to drag the military master, it's just a misfortune that you came today, you have all seen it, there is no place, and they are all full." Why don't you come back another day? The small shop is really sorry."

The soldier who looked like the leader of the small boss pursed his lips, did not answer the words of the shopkeeper, and continued to walk in with his arms dangling.

He glanced around, shook it to the big table where Su Changmin's group of people were, stretched out his head and glanced at the dishes on the table, feeling that these people should have eaten almost, he rolled his eyes and looked up and asked, "I said rank, you are full of wine and food, right?" You have taken our seats, and when you have eaten enough, you have moved the land, and our brethren are still hungry. ”。

Su Changmin and the others were drinking to the point of excitement, and they were interrupted for no reason, and it was inevitable that there would be some anger. But when everyone looked up and saw that the other party was also from the military, they all suppressed the anger in their chests, and just glared back without saying a word.

The little leader grinned and said in a domineering voice: "What do I mean when I say that my brothers are holding their backs and not saying a word?" You look a little faced, my handsome man is the dignified prince of Pingnan, who is the boss of you? ”。

"Tuwa" choked back with the strength of the wine: "What's wrong with the prince of Pingnan?" The handsome man of my family is Lord Cheng, the "Blue Dragon General" who was just rewarded by the saint not long ago! ”。

Hearing the answer, the little leader seemed to hear a big joke, and craned his neck and laughed. While shaking violently from side to side, he twisted his waist and beckoned his brothers to come forward.

When the soldiers who came with him gathered around, he crossed his waist with one hand, raised his hand to wipe his tears, twisted his face and smiled at his own people, and said, "Did you hear that? These people are the subordinates of the "surrendered general", why are they so blind? A group of crooked melons and cracked dates! Hahahaha".

In the laughter of everyone, one of Tang Wannian's soldiers unceremoniously pulled out the steel knife on his waist, slapped the table and said: "Look long, leave quickly after eating, make room for us, save the eyesore." ”

Su Changmin, who was full of alcohol, had blue tendons on his forehead, and he got up with a red face and said, "You can look down on us, but you can't openly slander my General Cheng!" Aren't you also the pawns of King Pingnan? Originally, we could have let you be polite, but I didn't drink it today, so I won't move the place! What can you do?! ”。

The little leader's face sank suddenly when he heard this, he snorted coldly in his nose, wrapped his arms around his chest, gritted his teeth, and said, "So you don't want to eat and drink for toasting?" What are the brothers still doing in a daze? Beat him up! ”。

Seeing that these arrogant soldiers under King Pingnan rushed up, the drunken "Tuwa" who was originally drunk was anxious, and picked up a plate of dishes on the table and smashed it.

The plate of leftovers was impartially buckled on the door of a soldier who rushed forward, he was stunned for a moment, stretched out his tongue and licked the vegetable soup that flowed to the corner of his mouth, it tasted good. Then his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted and punched at the "earth baby".

As the saying goes, wine is bold and courageous, and these subordinates of General Cheng took advantage of the power of wine to pick up the benches one after another, and turned around and hit the opponent unequivocally. For a while, the hall fell into a scuffle, so frightened that the shopkeeper went directly under a square table, and the other guests shouted and screamed, hugged their heads and fled to the gate.

Su Changmin jumped over the table, raised his leg and kicked down an opponent, and he also received a heavy punch in the face, and he was suddenly dizzy and retreated.

At first, the two sides exchanged fists and feet, and although the fight was fierce, neither took much advantage. The situation has been reversed since King Pingnan's soldiers eagerly pulled out the blades at their waists.

With a scream of "ah", the short "Tuwa" squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and a thin stream of blood came out of his fingers. These subordinate soldiers of the king of Pingnan did not spare him because he gave up resistance, and several strong men with big shoulders and round waists rushed forward and punched and kicked him. Until it collapses to the ground, motionless and gives up the struggle completely.

Su Changmin was also stabbed in the arm, and blood flowed. When he saw the "Tuwa" who was holding his head and slumped on the ground, bleeding nonstop, motionless, his blood was suddenly full of blood and his eyes were red.

He screamed, picked up the half of the wooden stool in his hand, smashed it with all his strength on the head of one of the soldiers who rushed in front of him, and while the other man was shaking, he stepped forward and reached out to snatch the steel knife from his hand, and stabbed him in the lower abdomen desperately. Almost at the same time, he received another heavy kick in the chest, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.

One of the brothers who came with him with a blue nose and a swollen face grabbed him and shouted in his ear: "Brother Changmin, run!" There are a lot of them, and they still have guys in their hands, we can't kill them! ”。

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, Su Changmin felt groggy in his head, and when he rushed out of the door in a daze, he finally woke up. Seeing that there was a group of soldiers holding steel knives behind him, shouting and shouting to catch up with them. There was only one clear thought in his mind: Run! Run as hard as you can, and be sure to escape! After returning to the camp, General Cheng will be the master for us!

With a "snap", Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, and the cup suddenly fell apart, and the fragments splashed everywhere.

He stood up in a rage, raised his foot and kicked all the kneeling in front of him to the ground, and scolded: "Why do you only report what happened last night? How many brothers have we lost? ”。

The grizzled Dutong hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Back to the prince, we have killed one brother and killed the other two, and the rest of the drunken troublemakers were injured and fled. ”

Tang Wanlai took a few steps back and forth, and scolded angrily: "Bastard! What the hell is that surrendered general? Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head?! Come on, copy the guy and gather people, Lao Tzu will personally go to his camp and find him Xingshi to ask for guilt! ”。

Fan Junshi, who was fluttering on the side, hurriedly persuaded him: "The prince doesn't have to be angry, let alone act recklessly!" ”。

Tang Wannian stretched his neck and glared at his eyes unceremoniously pushed back: "What's the matter?" These are all brothers who were born and died with me, they did not die on the battlefield, but they died in the hands of the surrendering general, Lao Tzu really can't swallow this breath! ”。

Fan Junshi hurriedly bowed his head and gave a deep salute, and was about to speak and persuade again, when a soldier suddenly walked in outside the tent to report, saying that Cheng Hongzhuo, the "Qinglong General" outside the camp, wanted to see the prince, and claimed to have come to the door to make amends.

Tang Wannian raised his head and sneered, and said, "It's good to come!" Save Lao Tzu from going to him to settle accounts! How many men did he bring with him? ”。

The herald hurriedly bowed and saluted, "About a hundred and ten people." ”

Tang Wannian raised his neck, straightened his chest and crossed his waist and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look!" ”。

Seeing King Pingnan coming over with his subordinate generals from a distance, Cheng Hongzhuo, the "Qinglong General", hurriedly climbed to the ground and rolled the saddle and dismounted, leaning over and bowing to the ground.

"The last general, Cheng Hongzhuo, dared to come to the prince of Pingnan to plead guilty. Because the villain is not strict in governing the army and has no way to discipline, his subordinate soldiers committed capital crimes, which is really ashamed! These evil beasts and villains are also tied up together, and they want to be beaten and killed, but it depends on the prince, you will fall! ”。

As he spoke, he pouted behind him, and the soldiers behind him pushed up a few strong men who were tied up by flowers. Su Changmin lowered his head and was pushed by others, and was the first to kneel.

Tang Wannian glanced down at it, and the anger in his original chest suddenly decreased by half. He nodded slightly, smiled without saying a word, hugged his arms, and waited to see Cheng Hongzhuo's next move to see if he was really willing to start.

Cheng Hongzhuo pursed the beard on his chin, looked up slightly at King Pingnan, and saw that the other party did not react. Hurriedly took two steps, came behind Su Changmin, raised the horsewhip, and beat it fiercely and continuously, while scolding loudly in his mouth: "Evil animal, don't you kowtow to Lord Nan to make amends when you die!" ”。

Su Changmin's broad back was suddenly drenched in blood, and sweat flowed from his forehead. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his heart as he writhed in pain.

Suddenly, he craned his neck and looked up at Tang Wannian and said in a loud voice: "Lord Wang, we are guilty!" But your subordinates have spoken disrespectfully and slandered our family, General Cheng ...... first."

Hearing this, Tang Wannian's face sank, his lips were tightly closed, and he did not answer.

"Qinglong General" Cheng Hongzhuo was completely furious, he threw down the horsewhip, turned around and unequivocally snatched a bright steel knife from the hands of the soldiers behind him, and scolded: "In front of the prince, you dare to talk nonsense and deny quibbles, you are really innocent!" ”。

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his knife and slashed at Su Changmin's stretched neck.

Blood splattered, Su Changmin's body was crooked, his mouth was wide open, and he slowly fell to the ground in disbelief.

Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, laughed and stretched out his arms and walked over, looked at Cheng Hongzhuo with admiring eyes and said: "It's rare that General Qinglong knows the general situation so well, takes care of the overall situation, and doesn't protect his shortcomings, it seems that this king really blamed you before!" How about inviting General Cheng to sit in the tent and drink tea with this king? ”。

The flattered General Cheng hurriedly threw away the bloody steel knife in his hand, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Thanks to the prince for not giving up, the last general will be loyal to the prince and the Great Chu Holy Monarch, and the sun and the moon can be seen from heaven and earth!" ”。

Tang Wannian took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to pick him up, grabbed one of his wrists affectionately, and said as he walked: "It's rare!" General Cheng came just in time, and a few days ago, the imperial brother also asked me to make some reliable and loyal people, so that I could work together to complete a big thing! This king will definitely recommend the general to the imperial brother! ”。

Behind the two of them, in a pool of blood, Su Changmin's pupils, who had already separated from his head, were gradually dilating.

No one knew that the last image that appeared in his eyes was a green wheat field: he was holding his trouser legs high, barefoot, and the "soil baby" who was also barefoot and carrying farm tools on his shoulders, laughing and laughing on the ridges.
