The sun was setting little by little, Chang Yanzhi looked at the huge tent that was about to be completed in the distance, his eyes turned, and he saw Tian Jiang walking steadily, Tian Jiang was not particularly tall, his body was not particularly strong, he was even more lukewarm, and he was not very enthusiastic about anyone, but it was impossible to ignore, and even He Rong soldiers waved to him, as if they were friends who grew up on the grassland.

Chang Yanzhi suddenly figured it out, and whispered: "Very human, even if you die, you must die differently, what am I mixed with?" ”

Tian Jiang approached, and Chang Yanzhi said with a smile: "Tian Zhuangshi taught me, how to make friends with these outsiders?" ”

Tian Jiang turned his head and looked at it, and replied: "Simple, horseback riding, archery, drinking, wrestling, good at one can get their recognition, good at two, can be appreciated, good at three, can be respected, good at four, can get awe." ”

"How many things is Tian Zhuangshi good at?"

"Five."

"What's the same?"

Tian Jiang smiled slightly, "If you are willing to spend money, this is the same everywhere." ”

Chang Yanzhi laughed, "With this one, the other four are all icing on the cake." But I didn't see Tian Zhuangshi bring a box over. ”

"It's a hassle to carry a suitcase, and my money is in other people's hands."

Tian Jiang entered the account, Chang Yan didn't understand too much, but he didn't want to ask again, looked at the crowd, thought about the "five things" that Tian Jiang said, and found that he was not good at it, he liked to drink, but the amount of alcohol was average, and he didn't dare to compete with He Rongren, so he smiled at several servants, thinking that being approachable can be regarded as the same.

The servant looked away, not even a hint of a smile in reply.

In the tent, Tian Jiang said to Xu Ji: "Lao Shan died of illness, but there are indeed rumors that he was poisoned, and it was once very fierce. ”

Xu Ji was a little surprised, "What did Tian Zhuangshi hear?" How did you...... Do you have friends in the camp too? ”

"Acquaintances, I guess." Tian Jiang sat down, "Thanks to Mrs. Feng, she bought the guards for me in Yecheng, and after success, she said, 'Since He Rongren also loves money, let's buy a few more, maybe when it will be used', so she bought off many people around He Rong Pingshan, and gave me all the credit." ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Mrs. Feng has foresight. ”

"It was Xu Gongzi's idea for her, right?"

"I only said that I would buy off the guards, but I didn't know that she would make such a big deal - it seems that Madame Feng really wants to keep you safe."

Tian Jiang did not respond to this, and continued: "It was with the help and acquiescence of these people that I fled to Yuyang with the princess. I made some arrangements at that time, so that He Rongpingshan thought that I had escaped by my own skills, so he didn't know about it, and only blamed the guards for being lax and whipping a group of people. ”

"Shan Yu and Heping Mountain must treat you as a half-immortal." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Tian Jiang moved the corners of his mouth, "Here, they don't dare to show familiarity with me, let alone let me escape, but they are willing to introduce me to some new friends and buy them for me." ”

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, "This kind of friendship is not shallow. ”

"They owe me money, so it's a debt."

"Hehe, it's obviously Mrs. Feng who bribed, why did it end up being the money they owe you?"

Tian Jiang made a dice roll and did not explain more.

"Admire." Xu Ji smiled and pondered for a moment, "Lao Shan Yu's death, He Rongqiang's arm didn't receive too much suspicion?" ”

"If you rank Lao Shan Yu's successor, Qiang Jian will probably be ranked seven or eight, which is almost hopeless. After Lao Danyu's death, everyone pointed the finger at the three kings who were most likely to succeed to the throne, and the three kings also blamed each other, so they did not hesitate to divide and divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield. For He Rongbu, this is a common thing, as little as six or seven months, as much as more than ten years, and there is chaos outside the plug, which is even worse than the Central Plains. ”

"Someone came out to stop the chaos."

It was this new Shan Yu who persuaded all parties to stop fighting, go south together, and take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to seize the world. He succeeded, and the kings of He Rong unanimously recommended him to be the new single Yu, and a single clan was not convinced, and He Rong rode alone with a strong arm, saluting first and then soldiering, and the persuasion failed, and he killed the king in public with his own strength, and subdued the whole clan - I am more skeptical of this, but He Rongren did say so, and said that when He Rong killed people with a strong arm, lightning fell from the sky to help him knock down the king banner. ”

Xu Ji nodded and said: "It is not a fluke that the strong arm can stand out. ”

"As soon as he took the position, he immediately prepared to go south and enter the fortress, and everyone was busy, forgetting Lao Shan Yu and the cause of his death, so it is not easy for Xu Gongzi to take advantage of this matter."

"He Rongbu is going well, once he encounters a setback, Lao Shan Yu will be remembered again."

"Hopefully we'll be able to wait until that day. Tomorrow, Emperor Tiancheng will come to the camp in person, and the prestige of Shan Yu is like the sky. ”

Xu Ji smiled, thinking about the new news brought by Tian Jiang, he felt that it was very useful, but he couldn't use it at this moment.

Chang Yanzhi came in, "He Rongpingshan sent someone over again to invite you over—the sun is about to set." ”

Xu Ji got up and said to Tian Jiang: "Pingshan is not the best choice, but the situation is urgent, so I have to use it on him first. ”

Tian Jiang never said that he had other means, but at this time he did not deny it, and sighed.

Xu Ji said to Changyan: "You stay and wait for news." ”

"Let me do something."

"Hmm...... The Shen family shouldn't just send Zhou Yuanbin over alone, if you have the opportunity, you can look in the camp, you don't have to deliberately, it's good to find it, and if you can't find it, it won't affect the current situation. ”

"Okay." Chang Yanzhi solemnly responded, thinking about the "five things" that Tian Jiang said, hoping to find out what he was good at.

He Rong Pingshan met the two in his tent, still wearing the old robes of servants, and on both sides stood eight real servants in the same costume, holding bows and arrows and other things for him, and none of them looked at the Tian craftsmen, and beside their masters, they couldn't pretend to be others in their eyes.

The two still did not bow down, and even gave up their hands.

He Rong Pingshan glanced at it, and when he spoke, his tone was unprecedentedly gentle, "There is a saying called 'preconceived notions', I think this is my problem, I have preconceived notions about the two of them, so that it has caused many misunderstandings, which continue to this day." ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Your Excellency, are you apologizing?" ”

He Rongpingshan's tone was slightly stern, "It's not an apology, it's just an explanation, we have no grudges and no hatred, why did we get to this point." ”

"Because Shan Yu has given you a problem."

"It has nothing to do with Shan Yu." He Rong Pingshan was even more stern, "I explained the matter clearly, and I didn't want you to submit to me. The matter has come to this point, irreparable, I know the two of them as people, and I know that this thing will never be done. There is only one thing I regret, I failed Shan Yu's trust and couldn't satisfy him. ”

One servant brought a short bow, and the other an arrow.

He Rong Pingshan took it in his hand, didn't immediately lead the string, and asked, "Who comes first?" ”

Xu Ji said: "I'll do it, but allow me to say a few words first." ”

He Rongpingshan nodded.

"What Shan Yu said in public, you can't disobey, after shooting the two of us, you will be demoted to a soldier, but by fighting bravely, you can gradually regain the throne, but you can't regain Shan Yu's trust. Because what is needed alone is not a strong general, but ......"

Someone broke in and interrupted Xu Ji's words, "It's good that it came in time." ”

"What are you doing here? I don't listen to pleading. He Rongpingshan said coldly.

Zhou Yuanbin walked past Xu Ji and Tian Jiang, came to the master, and said with a smile: "It's not a plea, it's an exchange." ”

"Exchange for what?" He Rong Pingshan looked confused.

"A thousand sheep and a hundred horses, in exchange for these two."

He Rong Pingshan frowned and said: "How important these two people are to me, you should understand, and I lack horses and sheep?" ”

"There is no shortage, but the more the merrier. And I don't want the lives of these two people, just ten more days, the so-called three-day period was set by King Zuo Shenwei himself, Shan Yu didn't force it, right? ”

"The deadline I have set must not be violated either."

"Of course, of course." Zhou Yuanbin was very familiar with He Rongpingshan, pulled him away a few steps, talked in a low voice, and finally said: "Five days...... It's okay for three days, can you sell me a favor? ”

He Rongpingshan glanced at the two people at the door, and then at the bow and arrow in his hand, "What use do you want them to do?" ”

"Actually, I don't care about their life and death, it's the king of Jin. King Jin and Xu Ji are sworn brothers, and Tian Jiang also has some friendship, I heard that the two are here, specially sent someone to write over, let me save the lives of the two of them no matter what, he will soon come and personally plead with Shan Yu. ”

"Hey, just a decision you make, it never changes."

"That's right, but King Jin has to give it a try to have a clear conscience. Three days, it is estimated that King Jin can arrive, if it is a day or two late......"

"Even if it's three days, not an hour." He Rong Pingshan threw away his bow and arrows and strode away, as if this was not his tent, and many servants followed.

Zhou Yuanbin turned around and smiled: "It's dangerous, it's another three days, let's go, go to my place to celebrate." ”

Tian Jiang knew that he was a "head", and said: "Thank you, I still have something to do, so I won't bother and leave." ”

Tian Jiang walked out of the tent, and Zhou Yuanbin said, "What's wrong with this person?" ”

"He doesn't want to interfere with the private conversation between you and me."

Zhou Yuanbin's face changed slightly, "Xu Gongzi didn't tell him about ......"

Xu Ji shook his head and lied frankly: "Of course not." ”

"I don't think so." Zhou Yuanbin smiled again, "Go talk to me." ”

Zhou Yuanbin's tent is not very big, there are not too many blankets, tables and chairs are complete, and the layout is more like a house of the Central Plains.

There were no outsiders in the tent, and Xu Ji said: "Zhonggong has figured it out?" ”

Zhou Yuanbin invited Xu Ji to sit down, and said: "The Middle Palace has nothing to do with this matter, and the King of Jin did not write a letter, it was I who decided to save Xu Gongzi's life." ”

"Thank you even more."

"Don't thank me, let's talk about Lao Shan Yu's death first, what does Xu Gongzi know?"

"What worries Zhou Senjun?"

Zhou Yuanbin got up, walked to the door and took a look, confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, turned around and came back and said: "I am ordered by the King of Jin to win the support of the He Rong Department for the Shen family, and all the daughters of the Shen and Zhou families who married outside the Saiwai, as well as their children and grandchildren, should help me." ”

"Yes, indeed."

"Especially the seventh sister, just obey her words and plans, and with her help, great things will be done."

"That's right."

"But I've heard some rumors in the past two days......" Zhou Yuanbin glanced at the door again, "It is said that the seventh sister actually persuaded Shan Yu to accept Yecheng as an ally, there must be something strange in it, and Xu Gongzi must know something." ”

Xu Ji no longer had any doubts in his heart, and he already understood the cause and effect.
