Chapter 420: Night Visit
Xu Dashi turned around and walked away, turning his back to everyone and not saying a word for a long time.
The leaders and soldiers who stood or knelt all held their breath, for fear that when the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King turned around again, he would become the target of venting his anger, and even worse, his eyes would be sewn into the flag.
Xu Dashi finally turned around, his face was surprisingly calm, and said to the dozen or so soldiers who were kneeling: "Get up." ”
No one dared to get up.
"This has nothing to do with you." Xu Dashi added.
Then everyone stood up one after another, bowing their heads and waiting for orders.
Xu Dashi looked at the only two remaining Heavenly Kings again, he was bent on regaining the number of eight figures, but he ran away from three in one morning.
Mu Jian and Du Heimao were silent.
"How do you think you should deal with the departure of the three Heavenly Kings of Fu Mo, Shen Zhu, and Shen Chi?" Xu Dashi asked, his tone was actually very gentle.
But those who are familiar with him know that the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King is just as gentle even when he kills.
Du Heimao spoke first: "The Shenchi Heavenly King is late, it should not be far now, please allow me to lead the troops to chase after me, ...... before dark."
Xu Dashi shook his head, Du Heimao hurriedly shut up, Mu Jian stiffened his head and said: "You should go after the Yan family brothers, there are many of them, they can't go fast, Yan Peck Eagle must force his subordinates to follow, Yan Xiaoguo won't ......"
Xu Dashi's face suddenly sank, Mu Jian didn't know why, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak.
"The king of heaven is the king of heaven, even if he is dead, he is also the king of heaven, and he should not be taken lightly." Xu Dashi said, not mentioning that he had just called him by his name.
Mu Jian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I was confused for a while. The Demon King will not betray, it's all ...... God's idea of helping the king alone, there is still time to redeem ......"
Xu Dashi was still noncommittal, his eyes swept around, and fell on Xu Ji, "Tell me about it." ”
Xu Ji became a "military advisor" again, and he admired this hundred-eyed king a little in his heart, he was ruthless when he said he was ruthless, and he was soft when he said it was soft, without any hesitation.
"It is not appropriate to seek peace in this matter, not to seek war." As soon as Xu Ji heard that Xu Dashi had changed his name to the King of Heaven, he had already figured out his thoughts.
"Oh? Let's talk about it in more detail. ”
Although the three heavenly kings left without permission, they all left a message and gave reasons, and they did not openly betray, and things still had a turnaround. If the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King sends troops to chase and intercept, it will be irretrievable. ”
"Hey, what else is there to get back?" Xu Dashi sneered, seemingly dissatisfied with this answer, but did not threaten to gouge out his eyeballs again.
"Stand down, you are all mediocre people, when I do great things, you can enjoy with me, you can't spend time with me, please come over."
Although they were belittled, everyone was relieved and retreated, walking too quickly, and almost fought at the door.
Xu Ji walked late and saw Wang Dian at the door.
Wang Dian's appearance was terrifying, and no one dared to look at him more, only Xu Ji arched his hand and looked at him.
"Mr. Xu is too good for his appearance." Wang Dian came out of nowhere, not called "military advisor", but also called "sir".
Xu Ji was about to refute, but suddenly realized that the person who was "taken" in Wang Dianyan's words was not himself, but Xu Dashi in the tent.
"I'm still listening to his words and watching his deeds."
Wang Dian didn't say anything, and when the people in the tent came out, he dodged in.
Xu Dashi did not send troops to chase after anyone, but sent messengers to Sanguan and Yan Peck Eagle Army to deliver his message.
The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King was so soft, which greatly surprised everyone, and the guards guarding Xu Ji's tent were extremely dissatisfied with this, and they discussed it loudly, which was clearly heard by Xu Ji.
"If it were me, I would chase Yan Peck Eagle first, kill all his brothers, and set up another king. What's that? There is no Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, one of the two of them dies in Sanguan, and the other is at best a god, and he runs away when he gets benefits, which is extremely shameless. ”
"That's it, the old thing surnamed Qiu is not a good person, he just runs, eats a good meal, and doesn't send a grain of food. Besides, what does he run? No one wants anything about him. Presumably they are used to taking advantage of it, and Brother Gong's gang is all this virtue. ”
……
Xu Ji listened in the tent, but felt that Qiu Wuye was not too stupid and ran in time.
Soon after dark, Wang Dian personally invited, "Mr. Lao Xu will go with me to Sanguan." ”
"The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King plans to negotiate peace?"
"Explain the misunderstanding." Wang Dian handed over a cloak, "It's windy outside, please Mr. Xu put it on." ”
The procession consisted of more than a dozen people, all wearing hooded cloaks, mounted their horses and galloped out of the barracks, and followed the only road to Sanguan, without stopping or speaking along the way.
Wang Dian didn't seem to be in a hurry, drove his horse normally, and arrived outside Sanguan City in the second half of the night.
Fifth Master Qiu had already received a notice in advance and sent someone out of the city early to greet him.
There were almost no lights in the city, only torches were lit in a few places, and the streets were deserted, and there were no people, let alone grain trucks.
Qiu Wuye led more than 30 people to stand at the door to greet the envoy, and as soon as he saw Wang Dian, he arched his hand and smiled: "I'm tired of the king's army and the army is in a hurry to go back at night, in fact, I really have an urgent need to come back, and I have no other intentions, and I will soon take all the horses, grains and grass to see the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King." ”
Wang Dian said: "I only came here to see the King of Shenchi and see if you need help here." ”
"The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King is so polite." Qiu Wuye smiled, and saw Xu Ji at a glance.
Wang Dian said: "Mr. Xu was originally a person from the Shenchi Heavenly King, and the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King borrowed it for a few days, listened to the teachings, and benefited a lot, so he didn't dare to monopolize it, so he asked me to escort him back." ”
"Ah, thank you even more to the Hyakmu Heavenly King. That one...... Mr. Xu, welcome back. "Fifth Master Qiu is a little uncomfortable.
Xu Ji said with a smile: "I came back to hand over the position of the big leader, and with the Shenchi Heavenly King in charge, my matter has been over." ”
Qiu Wuye's smile was much more natural, "Eh, don't worry, don't worry." Mr. Xu...... Come on, take Mr. Xu to rest and heat up a pot...... Tea. ”
Xu Ji was taken away by the soldiers and had no chance to participate in the peace negotiations that followed.
I don't know how many times Gong Jun's tea has been brewed, but Xu Ji refused, just some hot water to scald his feet to relieve fatigue.
Although Duan Siyong has followed Xu Ji for a short time, he is quite loyal, waiting anxiously in the city, getting up as soon as he hears the door, and he can't help but be overjoyed when he sees Xu Ji, lighting a small oil lamp and serving him meticulously.
"Childe is out, the thing must have been done, right?" Duan Siyong asked.
"What have you heard in the city?"
"I heard that Gongzi was hired as a military advisor over there, and then Yan Peck Eagle was let go, and Qiu Wuye became the king of heaven."
"Divine Celestial King."
"Yes, yes, I must remember that the Descendant Army here is very concerned about titles, and if you are not careful, you will invite sin."
"Is there any news from Chang Yanzhi?"
"No, they probably haven't even stepped out of the plank road yet. Alas, it would be nice if the new Mushou of Hanzhou was really the sixth son of the Lou family, and the son would definitely be able to get his help......" Duan Si was permanently away from Xu Ji's side, and he didn't understand his grievances with the Lou family, and like ordinary soldiers, he thought his brother was easy to talk to.
Xu Ji didn't explain, and listened to his nagging with a smile.
After waiting for a long time, no one came to invite, and the oil lamp would run out of not much vegetable oil, Xu Ji had to sleep, still curious in his heart what words Wang Dian could use to persuade Qiu Wuye to trust the Baimu Heavenly King again.
"I see!" Xu Ji sat up suddenly, blaming himself for not seeing it for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Duan Siyong, who was sleeping at the door, asked in a panic.
"It's nothing, I just remembered one thing out of the blue." Xu Ji smiled and slowly lay down.
"What Childe remembers must be important."
"Be important to others, ...... to me Wait. ”
Duan Siyong didn't ask any further.
"The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King is a hero." Xu Ji said suddenly.
"To be the king of heaven, and to make other kings afraid of him, he must be a great hero and a hero." Duan Siyong said in passing.
"A hero, but not a hero."
"Hehe, Childe is meticulously divided, I don't even know the difference between the two."
"Haojie...... Hero...... I don't know. Xu Ji smiled and suddenly sighed.
Duan Siyong was even more confused, and didn't dare to ask the reason.
"Tomorrow morning, you go and inquire about something for me."
"Yes, Childe, what's the matter?"
"Are the soldiers who let go of Yan Peck Eagle punished?"
"Okay, I'll ask as soon as it's dawn. Heard...... Did Childe order the release? ”
"Hmm."
"Then they should be fine, Gongzi is also a big leader in the army, and there is always this bit of power."
"I hope they're okay."
"Huh?"
"If they have something, the soldiers of the Gong Army may be fine, they are fine, and Qiu Wuye and others will be in big trouble."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Tomorrow, by the way, you will inquire again about who the envoy who came to negotiate peace tonight is."
"Childe came back together, and I don't know who it is?"
"I don't see it clearly."
Duan Siyong was an obedient person, he didn't sleep long before he got up, went out to get water, and inquired about the news by the way.
When he came back with a bucket of water, Xu Ji had already gotten up and slept not very well, but he didn't plan to sleep again.
"No wonder Gongzi asked me to inquire, there was really something strange last night: there were more than a dozen messengers who came to negotiate peace, and the leader was a military advisor surnamed Wang, who took two people into the house, and Qiu Wuye also left two people. When the result came out again, Wang Junshi became an entourage, and the leader was actually the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King himself! ”
"Sure enough."
"Gongzi expected it early in the morning, and the others were all surprised, Fifth Master Qiu personally sent it more than ten miles outside the city before coming back, and he had already given an order, and he would take everyone and grain and grass to meet with the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King this afternoon."
"No one objected?"
"It doesn't seem to be, think about it, who would object? Originally, everyone was afraid that the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King would turn his face and not recognize people, but now he came in person, and only brought a dozen people in total, proving that he really trusted this side...... Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, I have to get rid of this problem, and I must not call him 'him' to the Heavenly King. Duan Siyong repeated it several times: "Hundred Eyes Heavenly King." ”
"What about the soldiers who let go of the swallow pecking eagle?"
"It's okay, nothing at all, the King of Shenchi said, act as ordered, don't blame them. Childe thinks this is not a good thing? ”
Xu Ji was silent for a while, and said slowly: "The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King can bend and stretch, he is a great hero, but he is good at calculation, pays the necessary returns, and will not wait too long - this time he came to disperse, he paid a lot, Qiu Wuye and the others only saw the benefits at the moment, but they didn't think about how to repay them in the future." ”
"Childe, do you want to remind the Shenchi Heavenly King?"
"The general trend has gone, and there is no persuasion." Xu Ji sighed again, "Now the only ones who can save the lives of the soldiers of the Gong Army may be Yan Peck Eagle and He Rong Cavalry." ”
