"Ahem...... "Ahem Lord Shouyu of Shunzhou County, who had a thin face, coughed lightly, raised his slightly heavy eyelids and glanced at the envoy of Da Chu, and said lightly: "What is the reason why the people under the hall are here?" ”。

The Confucian envoy smiled slightly, straightened his chest and clenched his fists and replied: "On the order of Guan Yu, the king of the north of the Great Chu Ding, I came to meet the county guard of Shunzhou Prefecture and the generals who guarded the city. Now that our army is in the city, the situation is clear at a glance, and there is no need to bother with words. How can I feel that the prince of my family cares about the common people in the world, and he can't bear the suffering of the people in the city, and he doesn't want to see a few adults go to the dark and ruin his reputation. ”

Lord Yu smiled coldly, raised his hand and gently placed a palm on the table in front of him, leaned over and said, "Oh, what a golden and jade good words, you might as well speak boldly, this official wants to hear it." ”

The envoy didn't care about Lord Yu's attitude, and said in a loud voice: "Before leaving, the prince of my family gave me three sentences, hoping that I would convey them to you:

First, the sunrise in the east, the sea embraces all rivers, and the way of heaven is not something that can be changed by man. Conforming to the way of heaven and following the will of the people is what a gentleman does. The mantis arm is a car, and the mayfly shakes the tree, except for being smiling and generous, self-destructing the future, it is useless.

Second, for one term of office, for the benefit of one party. I, Dachu, will treat the officials of the state governments of Daqi differently: those who do many evils and have great grievances among the people will be severely punished; Those who love the people like children, are honest and honest, and are treated as guests. The prince of my family has been secretly visited, and several adults in the hall happen to fall into the latter, hoping to cherish themselves.

Third, one thought of heaven and the other thought of hell. The lives of tens of thousands of Li people in the city are pinched in the palms of several adults, whether to push them into the fire pit or save them from the sea of suffering, it is all in the thoughts of several adults. Now within a radius of 100 miles from Pingzhou City, the people do not leave behind the road, do not close their doors at night, the cultivators have their fields, the taxes are very low, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I believe that several adults also hope that the people under their rule will live such a good life, right?

Words are shallow and affectionate, I hope you will consider again and again, and then make a decision! ”。

After saying this, the messenger gave them a deep squeeze, straightened his waist and closed his lips, not wanting to say any more nonsense.

Lord Yu and He Renlong in the hall were silent, and General Guo on the side couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted with a red face: "What nonsense! The Great Chu thieves have brought disaster to the country and the people, and they are bloodthirsty. Now he is here in this lobby, and his clever words are really hateful! ”。

General Guo turned to Yujun Shou and saluted: "My lord, don't be bewitched by bandits and mess with our army's heart. The last general implored your lord to allow the last general to kill the thief immediately, in order to show his determination, boost the prestige of our army, and my old general Yan will take revenge! ”。

Before the words fell, without waiting for Lord Yu's approval, he pulled out his sword and strode over through gritted teeth.

In the face of such coercion, the Confucian envoy did not show the slightest hint of cowardice and retreat, but laughed and said: "General Guo is so heroic and mighty at the moment, but he has never seen such courage on the battlefield, otherwise how could he take the remnants of the army and retreat to the city of Shunzhou?" Sure enough, he is the general of the defeated army, and he is unspeakably brave! ”。

General Guo's eyes were wide open, his face was red, and he completely lost control. Annoyed and angry, he burst out and slashed at the messenger's head with his sword.

Du Zhongnian, who was on the side, took two steps forward, raised his hand and grabbed General Guo's sword-holding wrist, and said with a sneer from between his teeth: "General Guo, you are also a battle-hardened general, but now in a hurry, you want to kill an unarmed weak scholar, this is going to be spread, won't it make me and other people in the army lose face and be ashamed?" ”。

General Guo turned around and roared: "Okay, but I won't kill him, then you can die for him first!" ”。

While shouting, he suddenly broke free from Du Zhongnian's grasp with all his strength, and swung his sword to stab him in the chest.

Du Zhongnian's heart suddenly became angry, and he had no blade in his hand, so he had to use his fists and feet to fight with him with his bare hands.

Because the conflict between the two sides broke out in a short instant, Lord Yu and He Renlong in the hall didn't have time to turn their heads for a while, so they could only open their mouths wide, and their eyes were wide open and they looked at it dumbfounded.

I saw Du Zhongnian flickering and moving, while carefully dodging the sword blade swept by the other party, while waiting for the opportunity to return the color.

General Guo came to rely on this as his own territory, and secondly, he was holding a sharp sword, but the other party was bare-handed, so he was full of confidence and pressed step by step.

After more than a dozen rounds, Du Zhongnian took the initiative to sell a flaw, and when the long sword in the opponent's hand drove straight in without fear, he suddenly turned around, waved his palm like a knife, and slashed on the wrist of the opponent's sword, and at the same time waved his other long arm, and punched heavily on General Guo's chest.

General Guo was shocked and hurriedly wanted to change his moves, but it was too late.

He took a few steps back, but still couldn't stand firm, and sat on the ground with a "poof", and the sword was gone.

With a "snap", the angry Lord Yu slammed the table, jumped up and shouted: "Bold thief, so arrogant!" Dare to hurt people above the lobby of this official, I think you are impatient! Come on, take down these two thieves for me immediately! ”。

Behind the screen, the sword and axe hand "Hula", who had already been ambushed, swarmed up and surrounded the envoys of Da Chu.

Seeing this scene, Du Zhongnian raised his eyebrows, clenched his fists, and was about to do his best to snatch a blade in his hand, desperately protecting the Confucian envoy to open a bloody path and rush out of the city. I suddenly remembered General Guan's repeated explanations before leaving: Remember, no matter how dangerous you are, you must not be impetuous, and it is important to save your life first!

Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and released his clenched fists.

At this time, He Renlong on the side was a little breathless, and walked two steps to the front of Lord Yu and saluted: "Your Excellency, don't be angry, the two countries will not fight each other, I hope your Excellency will be cautious!" ”。

Master Yu glanced at him strangely, but did not answer, but nodded slightly.

Turning around and waving his hand, he said, "Put these bold thieves on death row first, and then behead the sacrificial flag when the thief army comes to attack the city!" ”。

Lord Yu took a few steps forward, stretched out his hands to support General Guo, who was still sitting on the ground, and said with a smile on his face: "The general is okay, right?" ”。

General Guo took advantage of the situation and hurriedly got up, and said with a sneer: "A moment of negligence, the thief general took advantage of the loophole, and let Lord Yu laugh." ”

Lord Yu waved his hand and said, "Hey, why did General Guo say this!" The safety of Shunzhou City will depend on the joint efforts of you and Renlong! ”。

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

He Renlong swaggered into the prison camp with three or five henchmen, and when the jailers saw that he was a familiar general, they all smiled and nodded at him, allowing him to come and go freely.

Walking to the vicinity of the cell where Du Zhongnian was being held, He Renlong waved his hand, signaling the henchmen to step aside to control the wind for him, and then came to the door of the cell alone, looked around, and called in a low voice: "Brother Zhongnian, He has come to see you." ”

Du Zhongnian, who was lying alone on the straw mat sulking, jumped up when he heard the sound, and came close to Shi Li and said: "Brother Renlong, I gave you a look during the day, but I saw that you were indifferent, and I thought that Brother Tai had forgotten a certain family to the clouds!" ”。

He Renlong waved his hand again and again and whispered with a smile: "How can this be reasonable, it is only because of the situation during the day, it is inconvenient to recognize each other!" The last time I passed through the brother's Taiwan defense area, I also went to visit, and I learned from others that the son of the middle-aged brother's sword chief soldier was alone in the world, but I didn't expect to be able to meet again here! Ling He's heart was filled with joy and sorrow."

Speaking of this, he stopped talking again, looked around vigilantly, turned back and whispered: "Brother Zhongnian is a little restless, and endure for two days, He will definitely find a way to save you from the cage!" ”。

Du Zhongnian replied with a smile: "It's okay, the Sprinkle family is in danger this time, just for Brother Tai, looking forward to finding an opportunity to persuade Brother Tai to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so as to avoid the disaster of blood and light!" ”。

He Renlong was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated: "You say...... If I try to open the gates of the city to meet the thieves...... No, when the righteous army enters the city, can my brother ensure that my family's life is worry-free? ”。

Du Zhongnian patted his chest and said: "With the friendship between you and me for many years, can't you still believe it?" Guan Yu, the main general of the siege of Shunzhou City, and the Sprinkler family took care of each other, and they were like brothers. Not only can it ensure that your family is worry-free, but also help you find a good future. ”

He Renlong stared at Du Zhongnian's face for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "It's so good, it's really not a secret, Lao Tzu didn't want to work hard for this broken court for a long time, first, there was no good opportunity, and secondly, he was suppressed by Lord Shouyu, and he didn't want to turn his face with him immediately." ”

Before the words fell, a stream of mixed footsteps came from far and near, He Renlong hurriedly glanced at Du Zhongnian, and retreated to a dark corner not far away and quietly squatted down.

The torches were blazing, and Lord Shouyu of Shunzhou Prefecture walked over with his hands behind his back. The leader of the prison camp who accompanied him smiled and nodded, and said: "My lord, the thief you want is locked up here, this thief is extremely fierce, my lord, you must be careful!" ”。

Lord Yu, who had a thin face, nodded expressionlessly, waved his robe sleeves to signal the others to retreat first, and stood up in front of Du Zhongnian's cell.

He Renlong, who was hiding in the shadows, trembled in his heart: In the middle of the night, the county guard was restless, what was his intention to run to this prison? Do you have to be bad for the middle-aged brother early? If so, what should a particular family do? This time, I only brought a few henchmen, and if I suddenly make a move, I may not be able to succeed, but I may harm the middle-aged brother!

But he said that He Renlong's heart was up and down, and he was uneasy. Suddenly, Lord Jun Shouyu coughed lightly twice, and asked coldly: "Bold rebel, now that you are dying, do you have the heart to repent?" ”。
