Chapter 419: Escape from the camp
Xu Ji only heard the news of Yan Peck Eagle's return, but did not see him in person, when the banquet was going on, he was sitting alone in the tent in a daze, listening to the discussion outside, and selecting fragments of information.
Boss Zhang and the others were all transferred away by Qiu Wuye, and the Shenchi Heavenly King was cautiously staying away from this "Xu Junshi".
There were about a dozen people missing, and the tent didn't look much bigger.
The banquet over there had just ended, and there was no one talking outside the tent, Fifth Master Qiu came to visit, he was also cautious, and his voice was very serious, "Why didn't Xu Junshi go to the banquet?" β
"I've had enough yesterday." Xu Ji smiled, "I'm sorry, there are no lights here, the Shenchi Heavenly King has to find his own place, there should be a bed on your left." β
"I don't sit." Fifth Master Qiu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said, "The Demon King is back." β
"Which Demon King?" Xu Ji asked knowingly.
"The one we caught, Yan Peck Eagle, he is now a god ......" Qiu Wuye didn't remember the new name, "He said he escaped back, but I think he was let go - did you give the order?" β
"When I was in Sanguan, I did give an order, saying that if the big boss left the city to see the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, he would release the Yan Peck Eagle."
"Xu Junshi gave an order before, no matter how big or small, it passed through me, why don't I know this order?" Qiu Wuye became more and more dissatisfied.
"Maybe I had a hunch at that time that the person who came to see the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King would be the Divine Heavenly King." Xu Ji said with a smile, in fact, he was just trying to prevent this order from spreading among the big bosses.
In the darkness, Qiu Wuye's expression could not be revealed, and there was a trace of anger in his voice, "What's the intention?" β
"I think that if a big leader comes to see the king of the hundred eyes, it means to sacrifice the city and the grain, in this case, it is really inappropriate to detain another king, it is better to release and make friends with each other. But I don't understand, why does Yan Peck Eagle claim to be running away? It's really kind and not reciprocated......"
"No, if you let Mu Tianzi go first, and then let Yan peck the eagle, there will be a plan."
"The Divine Celestial King didn't even bring my retinue, I'm helpless in this camp, what else can I plot? It's nothing more than hoping that Yan Peck Eagle can thank me for my kindness in releasing people, but now I see that I can't even get this. Alas, the world is impermanent, and things that are clearly planned often give birth to all kinds of accidents......"
Qiu Wuye was poked in the sore spot, snorted twice, and turned to leave.
Xu Ji really didn't expect Yan Peck Eagle to come back in this way, let alone how things would develop in the future, he just had a feeling, and he didn't mean to be sarcastic about Fifth Master Qiu.
"It still offends people." Xu Ji muttered helplessly.
Not long after he lay down, another man came, standing in the doorway and not speaking.
"Master Wang?" Xu Ji asked.
"Gotta find a way to get you away." Wang Dian said, he had just left from the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King.
"Don't, you'll all be implicated."
"Would you like to have your eyes sewn into the flag?"
"I don't want to, but ...... The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King said that he wouldn't kill me in ten days, so he shouldn't regret it halfway, right? β
"The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King does what he says."
"That's good."
"What will happen in ten days?"
"This ......"
"Xu Junshi can not say it, I'm not here to hear the news."
"It's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm a little embarrassed to say it."
"Why is that?" Wang Dian was curious.
"Because it sounds a little whimsical."
"Xu Junshi has always been 'whimsical', and in the end he is always right."
"That's because you only remember the correct outcome - it doesn't hurt to say it, the Descendant still rarely sends scouts into the distance, right?"
"Send some to Liangzhou."
"He Rongren is also in Qinzhou, you are not worried at all?"
"He Rongren wants to attack Hanzhou in the south, and they don't have the strength to pay attention to Western Qin and Liangzhou."
"Are you sure?"
Wang Dian was silent for a moment, "The news says that He Rong's army has marched towards Hanzhou, and some of them are preparing to enter Jingzhou, with their scale, if they want to turn around and move westward, it is unlikely, if they divide the army of one or two thousand, Yu Ke alone will underestimate the world army." β
"Maybe you're right, but I'm in Mulberry...... Forget it, the news there is not always credible. If He Rongren is attacking in case of attack, please tell the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, I have a way to avoid this calamity, if He Rongren does not come, I will find a way to save my life, please Wang Junshi do not participate, the farther away the better. β
"Alas, if you knew today, why bother in the first place? Thousands of troops and horses are the king's forerunners, isn't it far better than sitting back and waiting to be killed today? β
"Have you heard of Fan Shu?"
"Of course, Mr. Fan's name is well known to the world, and I visited him when I went to Yecheng."
"Really?"
"I went to Yecheng to borrow troops, I didn't know the essentials for a long time, I had nothing to do, I happened to go to Siguo Valley to visit Mr. Fan, I was summoned, and I talked for a long time."
"What did Mr. Fan say to you?"
"That's a lot, he is especially concerned about the situation in Jiangdong......"
"No, no, what did I say to you?"
Wang Dian was slightly stunned, "To me...... Probably because I didn't have a good reputation, Mr. Fan was not very interested in me, but when I said goodbye, Mr. Fan advised me not to carry a heavy load. β
"Well, Mr. Fan also knows that the Jiangdong Seven Clans are embarrassed."
"What did Mr. Fan say to you?"
"He told me to 'wait.'"
"What do you mean?"
"It's just 'wait', nothing else, I have always followed it, and there are often unexpected gains."
Wang Dian laughed twice, probably because of the injury, and his voice was a little strange, "Then I won't bother, I also want to see if the 'accident' will happen." β
"I've been with Shan Yu for a while, so I'm very familiar with him." Xu Ji reminded.
"Understood." Wang Dian also planned to use this to persuade the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King to spare Xu Ji's life.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Xu Ji slept soundly, and was "disturbed" by Wang Dian.
"Wake up, Xu Ji, wake up quickly!" Wang Dian shouted eagerly.
Xu Ji opened his eyes and saw that burned face, which was even more terrifying than in the dark night, especially with a little anxiety and annoyance.
"What's wrong?" Xu Ji got up, sleepy-eyed, "He Rongren...... Called? β
"It's not He Rongrenβhaven't you heard of it?"
"No, I've been sleeping since you left."
"Yan Peck Eagle led the soldiers and fled."
Xu Ji was stunned for a while, digesting the unexpected news, and then laughed and said, "What a swallow pecking eagle, I can underestimate him." β
"What do you know about this?"
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me, the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King is furious, if he knew that you had offered advice to Yan Peck Eagle, he would definitely kill you in advance, and no one could stop him."
"Before leaving Sanguan, I did give an order to release Yan Peck Eagle at the right time, that's all, but according to Yan Peck Eagle, he escaped by himself, and it has nothing to do with me......
"Alas, you are clever but you are mistaken by cleverness. You stay here and I'll see what else can be done for you. Wang Dian left in a hurry.
Xu Ji got up, put on his boots, walked to the door, and said to the guards: "How many people did Yan Peck Eagle take?" β
Since the word spread that Xu Ji was the son of the general, the attitude of the ordinary soldiers has become much more respectful, and the two guards are both talkative, and they hurriedly replied: "All of them have been taken away, and there is no one left." "It's clean, no, it's a lot of tents and useless things." "It's strange that the camp is so close that no one notices." "But no, the brothers who guard Simon are going to be unlucky, they are the closest......"
The two of them shut up at the same time, straightened their bodies, and motioned for Xu Ji to return to the tent.
Before lowering the curtain, Xu Ji heard Xu Dashi's roar.
The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King was extremely angry, firstly, because nearly 10,000 people had fled and had not been discovered until the early hours of the morning, and secondly, he had decided to get rid of Yan Peck Eagle today, but he was preempted by the other party - the ploy was sometimes more irritating than the failure of the ploy.
"Drag Xu Ji to me, there must be something for him here." Xu Dashi gritted his teeth and ordered.
Xu Ji didn't need to be dragged by anyone, he walked by himself, and after entering the main tent, he saw Xu Dashi scolding more than a dozen soldiers kneeling on the ground, these people were more unlucky, and the guarding place was closer to Yan's camp, so they were responsible for negligence.
"A jar of wine! Just a jar of wine! Xu Dashi kept swearing, listening to him, the soldiers got a jar of wine last night, and no one controlled themselves, and they were all drunk.
After scolding his soldiers, Xu Dashi scolded Yan Xiaoguo and others again, "They got benefits from me, they actually ate inside and out, and were willing to be dogs for Yan Peck Eagle, and after they were caught, I skinned them alive!" β
At a glance at Xu Ji, Xu Dashi rushed over in a few steps, "You, it must be you!" β
"It's definitely not me."
Xu Dashi pulled out the knife, Wang Dian was not there, no one could persuade or dare to persuade, "I want both of your eyes." β
"Yan's departure has nothing to do with me, otherwise, why would I stay?"
Xu Dashi was about to speak, when a soldier hurriedly ran in, holding a letter in his hand, "Found in Yan's tent, it says ......"
Xu Dashi put away the knife, took the letter, opened it and read it, and tore it to pieces a few times, "Give me the vanguard to attack Liangzhou?" Dare to move a single hair in Liangzhou, I will let you die without a place to be buried. β
Xu Dashi has long regarded Liangzhou as a forbidden place and does not allow others to touch it.
"Mu Jian, Du Heimao!" Xu Dashi violated the rules he had set, and he was not even called the king of heaven.
The two people who were called stood nearby, called their names, immediately knelt down, and said in unison: "I don't know about this......"
"Your camp is adjacent to Yan Peck Eagle, and you were also drunk last night?"
Du Heimao said in a trembling voice: "We...... Truly...... Some voices were heard, but they said...... Say ......"
"Say what?"
"It is said that he left the camp on the orders of the Hyakumui Heavenly King......"
Xu Dashi pulled out his knife again, ordering chaos This matter he couldn't solve for a while, but he would never allow it to be an excuse.
Du Heimao sat on the ground in fright, "Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, I am loyal......"
Xu Dashi ignored him and turned to Xu Ji, "Say, which eye to gouge out first?" β
Xu Ji didn't want to do anything, the three-character true recipe left by Fan Guan was useless at this time, Xu Ji had to say: "The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King has promised a ten-day period, and this is the third day." If the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King goes back on his word, it is no wonder that his subordinates are not trustworthy. β
Xu Dashi was a little hesitant, holding the knife left and right, killing or not killing, all in one thought.
"Where is the Heavenly King?" Xu Dashi suddenly noticed that there was one less important person in the tent.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one could answer, and someone went out to look for it, and soon came back and said from afar: "King Shenchi...... Left, saying that if the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King asked, he would say that he had already returned to Sanguan to load grain......"
"When did you leave?"
"Just this morning, I heard that Yan pecked the eagle ......" The soldier didn't dare to say any more, because Xu Dashi was already so angry that his face was as red as blood.
