Chapter 353: After the Crisis Is Resolved

"That's it?"

Seeing that Huan Hu decisively chose to evacuate, Zhao Hongrun was surprised in his heart, and his threat assessment of this person was raised by one notch.

What kind of enemy is the most difficult to deal with?

Is it an enemy lurking in the shadows?

No, he never takes danger lightly, and when he senses danger, he quickly retreats back into the shadows.

Recalling the inexplicable smile on Huan Hu's face when he led the group of horse thieves to evacuate, when he looked back at him Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongrun had a premonition: This person may become a big trouble for him in the future.

Intuition told Zhao Hongrun that letting the tiger leave this time was tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, but unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun had no way, he had no cavalry in his hands, if he had a cavalry in his hands, he would definitely follow the intuitive warning and capture this person here.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Huan Hu's intuition was quite accurate, he had just evacuated on the front foot, and the tiger guards who had been sent out to support the tribe of the Qiang tribe on the back foot returned to their Wei camp, making the tiger guards in this vicinity suddenly rise from nearly a hundred to three or four hundred.

"What's going on?"

"Has the camp been attacked?"

"I wonder how your lordship is doing?"

In the whispers, the Tiger Ben Guards put themselves into the aftermath of the work, they collected the corpses of their fallen comrades, and at the same time extinguished the fire in the camp, and these works naturally did not need to be commanded by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

"What, those guys are so timid."

Mi Rui didn't know when she came to Zhao Hongrun's side, looking a little depressed, you know, she was still experimenting with the medicinal powder she secretly made to see what the effect was.

It turned out to be good, but it wasn't her turn to play. Huan Hu resolutely ran away, which greatly disappointed Mi Rui, who muttered vigorously in that one.

However, Zhao Hongrun is happy to see this, after all, the medicinal powder developed by Mi Rui, although this stupid girl keeps claiming that there will be no side effects, but in view of this woman's brainless history. Zhao Hongrun was inevitably not at ease, so he just regarded Mi Rui as a rear recruit, if the Tiger Ben guards really couldn't stop those horse thieves, then it would be Mi Rui's turn to make the appearance of the medicine powder that did not distinguish between the enemy and me.

As for Mi Rui, Zhao Hongrun was honestly not relieved, not because he doubted Mi Rui, he just didn't worry about this stupid girl's brain.

"It didn't help much, though. The king will still fulfill his promises. ”

In order to appease Mi Rui, who was chattering endlessly, Zhao Hongrun said to her.

"Really?" As soon as she heard this, Mi Rui immediately forgot about the test of the new pharmaceutical powder, and said with a happy face: "Then I want a lot of pastries and desserts, oh, and the cheese I ate yesterday and the day before yesterday." ”

"When I go back, the king will ask the people of the Qingyang tribe for a share."

Zhao Hongrun nodded, and turned his gaze forward. Because he saw that Li Cheng, the leader of the President of the Three Guards, was walking towards him.

"His Royal Highness King Su." came to Zhao Hongrun. Li Cheng smiled and hugged his fists, and said sincerely: "This time it is thanks to His Royal Highness King Su. ”

"This commander is serious, and this king has actually not helped much." Zhao Hongrun said humbly.

He didn't recognize Li Cheng, but he judged from Li Cheng's clothing that this person might be the leader of the Tiger Ben Guard.

It's a pity that he still guessed wrong, Li Cheng is not the commander of the Tiger Guard, he is the president of the "Three Guards" of "Bingwei", "Praetorian Guard", and "Lang Wei". He is the highest general of the Daliang Beijing Defense Army.

As soon as he heard the title of 'this commander', Li Cheng guessed that this King Su was very likely not to recognize him, so he smiled with relief, and didn't care, and changed the topic and praised: "The tactics used by His Royal Highness King Su to resist those horse thieves. It was really an eye-opener for Li. It is worthy of the king of Su who defeated the 160,000 Chu army! ”

"Commander Li has won the award." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand, and then frowned and asked, "Commander Li, this king just caught a glimpse of you confronting a thief, but the thief leader?" ”

"Hmm." Li Cheng nodded, did not hide it, and said truthfully: "This person calls himself Huan Hu, claims to be from Han Di, and according to what Li has seen, he is a cunning and despicable person. ”

After saying that, Li Cheng glanced at Qi Rui, who was immersed in the dream of cakes and desserts beside Zhao Hongrun, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Su, please move." ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and followed Li Cheng to walk a few steps towards no one, only then did he hear Li Cheng lower his voice and say, "This Huan Hu is here for Your Majesty." ”

"What? Father? Zhao Hongrun was taken aback, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and asked, "That thief knows that the father emperor is here?" ”

Li Cheng nodded silently.

"This ......"

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun felt incredible.

You must know that this time I came back to talk with Yin Rong, and the news released to the outside world was nominally dominated by Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the outside world should not know the whereabouts of Wei Tianzi.

Some people may think that it may be the existence of the Tiger Ben Guards that exposed the whereabouts of Wei Tianzi, but in fact, for a major event like this meeting with Yin Rong, even if the Tiger Ben Guards were dispatched as the nominal chief envoy and the escort of Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this is not an unreasonable thing, after all, the customs and habits of the Wei State, how could Yin Rong and the Han people know?

However, Huan Hu, who was born in Handi, knew that Wei Tianzi was in this camp, which was worth guessing.

"Could it be that the Wei people fornicated with that Huanhu? …… Could it be that it is a follow-up to the attack on Xiong Fen last year?"

Zhao Hongrun bowed his head and was silent.

This attack reminded Zhao Hongrun of last year's attack, which was also extremely bad in nature.

I remember that last year, the "anti-Wei forces" in China attacked the Chu envoy Xiong Fen, which directly led to the Chu State to start a war against their Wei State, and this time, the nature is also bad, and it is a great crime to sneak attack the camp where the monarch of Wei is located.

Zhao Hongrun would never believe that Huan Hu would attack the king of a country for no reason, unless someone hired him to do so with a lot of money, and it should still be a lot of commission.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun thought of something and said to Li Cheng: "Speaking of which, the strength of that group of horse thieves is a bit astonishing to this king, and it doesn't look like an ordinary horse thief no matter how you look at it." ”

"Hmm." Li Cheng nodded in agreement. Guessed: "Li suspects that these people are from the cavalry of the regular army of South Korea. Li will call someone to investigate this matter. ”

An ordinary horse thief can actually suppress the Tiger Ben Praetorian Guard, an elite army of Wei that is no less than the sixth battalion of the garrison? Are you kidding!

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Hongrun offered to leave, which surprised Li Cheng a little.

"His Royal Highness King Su, aren't you going to see Your Majesty?"

Li Cheng felt incredible. You must know that His Royal Highness King Su has made a great contribution, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has made meritorious contributions, if he is replaced by other princes, he will immediately go to Wei Tianzi to ask for merit and reward, and this His Royal Highness the prince is good, he doesn't even bother to go into the tent where the Son of Heaven is located.

Probably noticing Li Cheng's incredible eyes, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly explained: "It's not that this king doesn't want to visit his father, it's really ......" As he spoke, he told Li Cheng that Zhao Yuanyan, the uncle of the sixth king, was injured and was currently in a coma. I only heard Li Cheng's face look shocked.

"Lord Yu is injured?"

"Hmm. …… According to the sixth uncle's elder brother Wang, the sixth uncle's injury is not serious, but he is bleeding too much, and he can heal after a few days of rest, but this king is still a little worried, so he ......"

Li Cheng was relieved when he heard this, nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Nasu will go." …… Well, it's time for Li to go back and report this matter to His Majesty. ”

The two were talking. Zong Wei, Shen Yu and others had already led the horses over.

Zhao Hongrun caught a glimpse of two rabbits still hanging on the back of his Shen Yu's war horse, and then remembered that the gift to his father had not yet been given. Then he said: "Oh, by the way, today in the daytime, this king and the sixth uncle went out hunting, and the results were very high, these two rabbits. Commander Li presented his father on behalf of the emperor. ”

『…… Rabbit?'

Reaching out to take the two rabbits handed over by Zong Wei Shen Yu, Li Cheng's face flashed a somewhat strange look.

He also knew that the princes who participated in the hunt had the custom of presenting their prey to their fathers for generations, but others offered some valuable prey, such as the white fox and the white tiger (white-skinned tiger. Non-divine beast), this highness is good, send two rabbits?

"Hmm...... It's quite fat."

Looking at the two rabbits in his hand, Li Cheng really didn't know what to say, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Zhao Hongrun had already left.

"This highness is really ......"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Cheng carried the two rabbits to the tent where Wei Tianzi was staying.

It was said that it was the tent where Wei Tianzi stayed, but when he had a premonition that Huan Hu was coming to attack, Li Cheng gathered the officials of the Ministry of Rites, King Xiangwang Hongjing and his guards who stayed in the camp to facilitate their protection.

And when Li Cheng lifted the tent and walked into the tent, he was shocked to find that the emotions of everyone in the tent were still very nervous, holding the sword with a solemn face, and a posture of wanting to fight for his life, even Du You, a civil official of the Ministry of Rites, rolled up his sleeves and lifted the hem of his clothes.

Even, even Wei Tianzi was holding a bright sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand.

"Oops...... I was just talking to King Su, and I forgot to send someone to inform me......

Li Cheng secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

I have to say that when he saw Li Cheng who walked in instead of the thief who attacked this camp, Wei Tianzi was really relieved, and asked in a deep voice: "Li Cheng, how is the situation outside the tent?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, with the assistance of His Royal Highness King Su, our Tiger Ben Army has repelled the thieves who came to sneak attack, but unfortunately the thief leader has not been captured. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness. ”

As soon as he heard this, everyone in the tent was relieved, especially the third son of the emperor, "King Xiang" Hongjing.

"Hongrun?" Wei Tianzi was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Hongrun rushed to the rescue?" ”

"Yes!" Holding an excellent impression of Zhao Hongrun, Li Cheng praised: "According to the report of Qiu Wu, the head of the Tiger Ben Army, His Royal Highness King Su repelled the horse thieves who went to the feint attack in the camp of the Qingyang tribe, and realized that the real intention of this group of horse thieves may be our camp, and immediately ordered the Tiger Ben Army to return to defense, and His Royal Highness King Su also led the guards to escort him...... Just outside the tent, Li was restrained by the thief leader Huan Hu, thanks to His Royal Highness King Su commanding the tiger army on his behalf, he successfully killed forty or fifty thieves, otherwise, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Hearing this, Wei Tianzi showed a somewhat relieved smile on his face, and he asked, "What about ...... What about Hongrun others? ”

"This ......"

Li Cheng showed a look of ridicule on his face, and presented the two rabbits in his hand.

"His Royal Highness King Su has an important matter and has returned to the camp of the Qingyang tribe. Oh, by the way, this is a gift from His Royal Highness King Su to His Majesty. ”

『…… Rabbit?'

Everyone in the tent looked at each other. (To be continued.) )
