Gong Fan was thinking about whether to return to Hanzhou, when he suddenly heard the words "surrounded by black gas", and couldn't help but be stunned, "Black gas?" Where does the black gas come from? ”

Xu Ji actually didn't know much about the art of looking at qi, so he avoided answering and asked directly: "Since the uprising of the Descending Army, this city has changed hands dozens of times, which can be called the crown of Qinzhou, and the people in the city either die or flee, there is not much left, what does Brother Gong think is the reason?" ”

"Why?" Gong Fan involuntarily asked.

"What's the name of this city?" Xu Ji only asked but did not answer.

"Mulberry, Mulberry City."

"What about the original name?"

"Huh? And the original name...... I do not know. ”

"Buried in the city."

"Where did that name come from?" He Gousan asked in surprise, not only him, but also several other Heavenly Kings showed confusion and fear.

"In ancient times, there was a big war, Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, and his head was beheaded, but he used his breasts as his eyes and his navel as his mouth, and he danced with his relatives, have you heard this story?"

"Even the officers and soldiers are worshipping Chiyou, who has not heard of the people who lead the troops? How does he relate to the city? He Gou said three times.

"Chiyou's head is buried in this city, often troubled, so the local people planted mulberry to suppress, and renamed mulberry city, but the book records, in peacetime, this city is no different, once the army is scarce, this city will inevitably be chaotic and chaotic, and the fight is endless, and those who get this city can not keep it for three months."

He Gousan complained: "Brother Gong, look at the place you chose, why don't you attack here?" Even the book says that this place is ominous. ”

"How do I know this, I met ...... along the way? What you say is true? Gong Fan asked suspiciously.

Xu Ji nodded solemnly, "There is a record in the "Book of Shang", but unfortunately I don't have any books on hand, are there any books left in the city?" ”

Gong Fan shook his head, "Since I entered the city, I haven't seen a single piece of paper. Since this city is ominous, how can we avoid it? ”

"It's simple, it's good to leave, but it's fast, not long."

Gong Fan thought for a while, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, "Haha, Your Excellency is worthy of your name, I was almost deceived by you." Let's be honest, it's hard to occupy this city, so I won't let it, why do I have to live for a while, maybe spend the winter here. I will definitely not go to the north to ask for the name of the incarnation king, but I will not stop it. As for returning to Hanzhou in the south, please make a decision to the leaders, you have said that I will follow the people. If you want to discuss matters with me, you can, I will allocate a place for you, but I will not vouch for it. ”

He Gousan immediately shook his head, "Brother Gong doesn't guarantee it, it's useless to ask you here, let's go somewhere else to discuss things." ”

Seeing that Gong Fan was not interested in this, Mu Tianzi also said: "Let's borrow it for one night and set off early tomorrow morning, it's really not possible, so we have to go and discuss with the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, but we have to let him swear first and never make a bad move." ”

Gong Fan was also not polite, and picked up the tea bowl from the ground, "As you wish." Do you still drink tea? If you don't drink it, I have the water poured out and dried to reuse. ”

As soon as I heard that Gong Fan still had the habit of making tea repeatedly, no one wanted to drink it anymore, so he got up and said goodbye.

Gong Fan smiled at Xu Ji and said, "Your Excellency has some ability, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of a group of old coarse people, and there is no place for it." ”

Xu Ji also smiled: "Brother Gong refuses to trust the words of others, which makes me admire more and more, but it's just ...... Forget it, it's better not to say it. ”

Gong Fan sent the guest to the door, turned around, and really ordered the entourage to pour out the water and dry the tea for collection.

There are empty houses everywhere in the city, but there are few complete ones, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Incarnation Army are not picky, and the three heavenly kings led their troops to live in an area near the south gate.

Du Gou Sanji was not at ease, so he specially came to ask Xu Ji, "Is it okay to stay overnight?" I don't want to get black, I don't want to get black or anything. ”

"It's just one night, so it must be fine."

The three Heavenly Kings went to discuss how to contact the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, Xu Ji lived in a room full of large and small holes, Chang Yanzhi looked around, giving up the plan to repair it, and Duan Siyong stepped forward to bow down and thanked Xu Ji for saving his life.

Xu Ji helped him up, "What do you mean when you say that the guards will abandon the city with other intentions?" ”

"I don't know the details, but before the arrival of the descending army, General Bai - the general above us, I don't know what his origin is, claiming to be the governor of Qinzhou West Road - received several groups of envoys and talked secretly many times. After besieging the city for several days, General Bai secretly fled with more than a dozen cronies, saying that he was going to move the rescuers and ordered us to hold on for ten days, but everyone only lasted one day and surrendered. I heard that General Bai had no intention of defending the city, and it was actually a trap to set up for the surrender army, otherwise the surrender army would run around, and it would be difficult for the officers and soldiers to catch up. ”

"Officers and soldiers?"

"I said it smoothly, although the envoys who came came were under the banner of officers and soldiers, I saw with my own eyes that there were He Rong people among them."

"The Herong people have already attacked here?"

"I haven't seen the army yet, only a few people."

Xu Ji thought for a while, and asked Chang Yanzhi and Duan Siyong to stay, he was going to see the three heavenly kings, and he was stopped by several soldiers as soon as he left the room.

"You can't go anywhere, the king of heaven specially explained, you can only stay in the house, you are not allowed to go out for a step, hey, you have already taken a step, go back quickly."

Xu Ji was helpless, so he had to say: "Please go and report it, saying that I have something important and must meet the three heavenly kings immediately." ”

The three heavenly kings were not in a hurry to see Xu Ji, and they didn't let people take him over until nightfall.

Probably under the influence of Gong Fan, the three heavenly kings also became stingy, and only invited people after eating, the table was empty, but there was still the smell of wine and meat.

Du Gousan burped and said, "We have thought about it carefully, and we think that the words of the Divine Heavenly King are more reasonable, what are you doing with those illusory names?" It is better to concentrate on finding and accumulating grain, and get through this winter first. Therefore, we will not compete with children to become kings. ”

"Even the big boss is not fighting?" Xu Ji asked.

Du Gousan shook his head, "It's still the Divine Heavenly King who is right, even if he gets the title of the big leader, no one will listen to my orders." ”

"That'...... Can I go? Xu Ji smiled, guessing what kind of answer he would get next.

As he expected, Du Gousan let out a breath, like a hiccup, and like a sigh, "We have also discussed it, and decided to return you to He Rongren in exchange for some food." ”

Xu Ji smiled.

Yan Peck Ying was a little embarrassed and explained: "I said before entering the city that this matter must be supported by the Divine Heavenly King to have the possibility of success, without his intermediary guarantee, the leaders will not be able to gather, and the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King - even if he swears, we don't want to go." ”

Mu Tianzi was not ashamed, and said coldly: "Your 'clever plan' is actually for us to contribute, and you can sit back and enjoy the results." ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh, "In the troubled times, you are also a hero, and you don't want to make progress, but you complain about the people who persuade you to make progress, it's pitiful." ”

Du Gousan said angrily: "We are pitiful? You think about yourself first, forcing King Xiong to death, offending Shan Yu, and not pleasing on both sides, who else in the entire Qinzhou is more pitiful than you? ”

"Okay, I'm even more pitiful, the three of them can kill me or send me, but there are a few words I must say."

"What's important?"

"Hmm."

Du Gousan glanced at the other two Heavenly Kings, "You say, believe it or not." ”

"Let me ask first, which way did you enter Qinzhou?"

"What's your business?" Once Du Gousan gave up his ambitions, he was not so polite to Xu Ji.

"Sanguan?" Xu Ji guessed that the two states of Han and Qin were separated by lofty mountains and mountains, and there were not many passages, and the westernmost was Sanguan.

"Ah, so what?"

"How far is this place?" Xu Ji asked, he really didn't know this.

Du Gousan glanced at the two Heavenly Kings again, felt that this matter was not important, and replied: "Who remembers how far you have been running around these days?" If you ride a horse, it's about two or three days away. ”

"All the armies of Hanzhou are not far from here?"

"It's all three or five days away, and it's far away if you walk again." Du Gousan looked at the two Heavenly Kings of Fu Demon and Bitter Annihilation again, which direction to march was a major unresolved contradiction between the three of them, and they didn't want to change their path, nor did they want to get too close.

"Well, that's good. The three heavenly kings want to return it to He Rongren? ”

"Yes, it is said that He Rongren has a reward for catching you, and we will go back and get some rewards." Du Gousan said with a smile.

Mu Tianzi added: "At least I can get He Rongren's understanding, and it is really not worth it to offend a strong enemy for you." ”

Xu Ji was already surprised by the capriciousness of the Descending Army, and said with a smile: "Do you know where He Rongren is now?" ”

Du Gousan said: "Ask, anyway, there is a large group in Xijing, and there is a small group in the direction of Liangzhou, we think it is better to return you directly to Shan Yu." Anyway, send someone to contact first, it will take a few days to go back and forth, so you will have to stay with us for the time being. ”

"You don't have to send people, the Herong people will come soon, not in a 'small group', but in a 'big group'."

The three people on the other side were shocked, and Mu Tianzi said: "You are using empty words to slander us again." ”

Yan Peck Eagle also looked displeased, "The same trick is enough to use once or twice, and if you use it again, you will look down on us." ”

Du Gousan stood up with a fierce look in his eyes, "You look down on us? As long as we want, we can still kill you at any time, just like a game. ”

Xu Ji took a step forward, "Shan Yu wants to attack Hanzhou before the arrival of winter, and Sanguan is one of the channels he fancies. ”

"If Shan Yu occupies Xijing and wants to attack Hanzhou, he should take the meridian road in the east, and it is difficult to walk through the pass, why bother to go here?" Du Gousan said disdainfully.

Yan Peck Eagle also said: "Before, you said that all the heroes of Hanzhou went to visit Shan Yu, so soft, can't they be exempt from attack?" ”

Xu Ji said: "Even if the whole state of Hanzhou surrenders, it will not be able to prevent He Rong's cavalry from entering. If I guessed correctly, although the Sanguan in the west is dangerous, it is a road to actual attack, and from there the enemy can be attacked unprepared. ”

The three Heavenly Kings glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.

"You still don't believe me?"

"What about faith?" Du Gou laughed more than once, "Even if we want to enter Han from Sanguan, we don't care, anyway, we have to go to Liangzhou to 'borrow' grain, and we won't go back." ”

"The Qiang soldiers of Zuojiazhai are heading towards Liangzhou, and it is likely that they have already fought, do you think they can fight?"

"It's just right, Qiang Liang is fighting, we and they sit and collect that." Du Gousan was even happier, "Two brothers, it's really not good, let's work together to get into the cold and rob while the fire is on, right?" ”

Xu Ji sighed: "If you don't believe me, just wait for seeing to be believing, the army of the world has fallen into Shan Yuyan, and there is no chance to get cold, and then it will not be you who will return me to Shan Yu, but Shan Yu will take people." ”

"Get out." Du Gousan didn't want to listen anymore and spit out a word.

Xu Ji turned around and walked out, knowing that the leader of the Descendant Army could not be persuaded, but he was still a little disappointed.

Outside his residence, there were more than a dozen more soldiers, and as soon as he appeared, someone pointed out: "This is Xu Ji." ”

Several soldiers ushered in, looking up and down.

Xu Ji was ready to deal with bad luck and asked, "Do you have something?" ”

An old soldier said, "Do you really see black gas in the sky above the city?" ”
