Tian Jiang came from the night, and the guards at the gate of the Wuyun Temple thought he was his own at first, but when they found out that this was a strange civilian, they were all shocked, and they didn't understand how this person bypassed the several guards outside and went directly to the innermost layer.

"Tell King Wu that Tian Jiang is here." Tian Jiang shouted his name, and his footsteps showed no signs of stopping.

One of the guards hurried into the temple to report, and the remaining guards clenched their swords and guns, staring at the comer without blinking.

Xu Ji woke up from his contemplation, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have been lost for a while, just now he was obviously thinking about a strategy to break the enemy, but now he can't think of anything, and he has no memories at all.

"Let him in."

"Tian Jiang came alone, somehow, the guards outside didn't even notice him, and the ruling needs to be careful." The guard reminded.

"He's just an ordinary person after all." Having said that, Xu Ji did not want to make the same mistake again, he had been trapped on a high platform by his wife, and he might also die at the hands of assassins, "Tie your hands and bring them to me." ”

Tian Jiang did not resist, obediently put his hands on his back, entered the temple under the escort of the soldiers, and stood more than ten steps away from King Wu, standing without kneeling.

The soldiers beside Tian Jiang held torches to illuminate his face, but it was pitch black on King Wu's side.

Xu Ji laughed, penetrated the night, and sent it to Tian Jiang's ears.

"Tian Zhuangshi, let's meet again."

"Hmm."

"It seems that you are a true filial son."

"King Wu doesn't need to say much, I'm here, whether I kill or kill as much as I want."

"I have to ask clearly, I don't kill innocent people."

"Hey."

"Who was the person who assassinated General Song?"

"Me."

"You do it yourself?"

"If King Wu doesn't believe me, give me a bow and an arrow to see what I'm capable of."

"No, if you are willing to admit it, then it will be easy to do. And who is the one who directs you? ”

Tian Craftsman shook his head, "No one directs." ”

Xu Ji laughed, "No one to instruct? Then why did you assassinate the rebel general? Why are there Jizhou officers and soldiers to give you the wind - you run too fast, and the two of them will die for you. ”

Tian Jiang took a step forward, and the soldiers on both sides immediately stopped him with swords and guns, Tian Jiang only took one step, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he could see a little bit of the appearance of King Wu in the dark.

"I killed Song Xingju because he raped and killed a woman from a good family, and I avenged the woman's family."

"If you want to add to the crime, General Song is definitely not that kind of person."

"Believe it or not is King Wu's business, I only say what I know. As for the two Jizhou soldiers, I don't know them at all, and I don't know why they are hiding there. ”

Xu Ji stood up, and more guards approached Tian Jiang with knives and guns to prevent him from suddenly breaking out and hurting people.

With a push of knives and guns, Xu Ji and Tian Jiang could see each other.

The Tian craftsman in Xu Ji's eyes is still the Tian craftsman, his appearance is not good, but he has a rare calmness, like a pillar in the water, it seems that there will never change, and when the gloomy Ning Baoguan still has a gaffe, Tian Jiao will not.

In Tian Jiang's eyes, King Wu has changed a lot, he hasn't seen him for a few days, King Wu is no longer the young man who always shows a little loneliness, even his smile reveals a coldness, as if he has drunk too much, he is between drunkenness and drunkenness, just one glass or one sip, he will lose the last bit of sanity and completely surrender himself to drunkenness.

"Fei Xun." Xu Ji spit out two words.

"What's wrong with Lord Fei?"

"It was he who gave you the order, you don't have to hide it, I know it. Fei Xin thought that he was deceived by me, so he wanted to lie to me again, which was revenge. So he spreads rumors through you, killing soldiers, killing generals, killing kings...... There are bounties. ”

Tian Craftsman looked up and laughed, disdainful of the sharp blade in front of him.

"King Wu turned out to be scared."

A wave of anger swelled up in Xu Ji's heart, but there was still a smile on his face, "Early tomorrow morning, the rebel army will have a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, and then you will know who is afraid...... Sorry, you can't see the results, tomorrow you will be in front of the battle with more than 800 other people. ”

"King Wu must not say the word 'sorry', you just did what you always wanted to do but did not dare to do. When you first entered the city, you wanted to protect the people, just because the eastern capital was not yet owned by you, and once you really got it, you had the power of life and death over the eastern capital, and you were no different from other heroes. So don't be sorry, because you don't have any apologies in your heart, killing 800 people can avenge your general, and make your soldiers feel that King Wu killed decisively, that's enough, you will be proud of it, but you won't be sorry. ”

Xu Ji just said these two words casually, and when Tian Jiang said it, it seemed like hypocrisy.

Xu Ji put away the smile on his face and said to the guards, "Send him to General Meng." The murderer has been found, so you can stop searching the city and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle. ”

The guards received the order and escorted the fieldman away.

A stone fell to the ground in Xu Ji's heart, at least before the decisive battle, no one would say that King Wu was unable to avenge the loyal general.

The stone fell to the ground, followed by a strange floating feeling, Xu Ji seemed to be stepping on a cloud, and he had to be carefully controlled to ensure his body balance.

"Back to camp." Xu Ji really needs to sleep for a while.

Cao Shenxi got up and walked over, "You don't believe Tian Jiang's words at all, and you don't even want to investigate?" ”

"Investigate what?"

"General Song's ......"

"It's just a lie, Tian Jiang said it easily, but I have to work hard to investigate? Doing so would not only stigmatize the dead generals, but also disturb the morale of the military. No, no, I won't be fooled. General Cao, please also save it, no matter how you help, Fei Xun's treacherous plan will not succeed, tomorrow, the officers and soldiers will be defeated, if Fei Xun can survive by luck, he will understand one thing, in terms of strategy, he is too far behind. ”

Cao Shenxi sighed repeatedly, "King Wu is about to ...... Since King Wu thinks that I am an accomplice of Lord Fei, why don't you imprison me too? Would I rather be killed with the more than 800 people tomorrow morning? ”

"General Cao is no longer worried about his old wife?"

Cao Shenxi sighed heavily, "I owe her a lot in this life, see you after death, and repay it in the next life." King Wu once gave me a glimmer of hope, but now it seems ......" Cao Shenxi shook his head, "Everyone is right, I am a person with a weak will, and I can't start from the beginning. The general is the one who sees through you, so he always refuses to accept your persuasion. ”

"Send it to General Meng." Xu Ji didn't want to be verbose anymore, he originally intended to envelop Cao Shenxi for his own use, with the help of such a veteran, he would soon be able to put the scattered rebels in order, but now he dispelled this idea.

In the past, he rarely met people who could be persuaded, but now he is rarely available.

After all, everything has to be done by yourself, Xu Ji took a deep breath, although his feet were vain, his fighting spirit was high.

Back in the camp, Xu Ji insisted on making a round, receiving the messengers of the kings of Liang, Shu, and Ning, answering their questions, and then entering the house to rest.

"Four more wake me up." Xu Ji told the guards to sit on the bed, wanting to sleep but not wanting to sleep.

Tang Weitian persuaded: "Dadu Governor sleep for a while, you can't look like this." ”

"Well, there's one thing, you ......"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"You...... Forget it, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Xu Ji fell, he didn't even want to ask Tang Weitian to do anything, he was not convinced, tried to recall, and before he could sort out the slightest clue, he fell asleep.

He slept so soundly that he even persuaded himself in his dreams: What can he do if he wins the world? The emperor is no happier than ordinary people, it is better to enjoy it......

But he still woke up suddenly, and refused to sleep well.

There were no five fingers in the room, Xu Ji sat there and was stunned for a while, it was estimated that it was less than four watches now, and he had slept for about only an hour.

"Tang is the sky, Tang is the sky!"

"Hmm." Tang Weitian replied vaguely, and then got up, "Why did the Metropolitan Governor wake up?" It's still early, and everyone is sleeping. ”

"There's something you do right away."

"Oh." Tang Weitian was reluctant, he could eat and sleep, and he didn't like to be disturbed the most.

"You first go to see General Cao Shen and ask him what is wrong with the arrangement of the generals who came to the world."

"This is going? I'll ask again tomorrow......"

"Go right away." Xu Jidao.

"Okay, I'll go." Don yawns for the sky while putting on his boots.

"And ......"

"What else?"

Xu Ji hesitated for a while before saying, "Don't say it's my order, you ask an acquaintance, General Song really ...... Have you ever done anything like that? ”

"What's the matter?"

"Rape and murder of women."

"What is this? In the past, when I was in the Incarnation Army, this kind of thing happened almost every day, the Incarnation King took the lead, and none of the leaders did not do it, but there were relatively few killings, and General Song was probably angered......"

"Let you ask the facts, didn't let you say this nonsense."

"Yes, yes, I won't say it." Tang Weitian pushed open the door, faced the cold wind, shrank his neck and stomped his feet in fear, forced himself to cross the threshold, closed the door, and whispered to the guards outside: "Don't bother the Grand Duke, he is in a bad mood now." ”

Xu Ji's mood is indeed not very good, thinking back on yesterday's various practices, he is a little remorseful, and at the same time despises this remorse, thinking that doing is doing, as the head of an army, he must make a quick decision when the general is killed.

"Xu Ji, Xu Ji, you can't be like this anymore, others say that you are hesitant, are you really like this?" Xu Ji whispered a warning to himself, "Even if you are wrong, you can't go back, otherwise, what outsiders see is not to change when you know your mistakes, but to be weak and hesitant." ”

Tang Weitian went for a long time, Xu Ji slept for a while, very unsteady, like walking in a swamp, one foot deep and one foot shallow, waking up as soon as he fell asleep, and wanting to sleep when he woke up.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to endure the torture of waking up from sleep, and immediately got up and said, "Tang Weitian? ”

"It's me." Tang Weitian ran around, sleepy, and walked to the bed, bringing a cloud of cold.

"What did General Cao say?" Xu Ji is still more concerned about this matter.

He said that he was the general of the defeated army, and he was not qualified to point out the righteous army, and the previous sentence was just a casual remark, please King Wu don't have to take it seriously. He also said that the rebels have their own way of fighting, and reluctantly changing formations is tantamount to cutting something. ”

"Cut to fit the foot."

"Yes, those are the words. No, that's all, the Metropolitan Governor didn't let me have to ask for a result, I think he is so old, he will be killed tomorrow morning, and there is no need to be executed now. If the Governor is not satisfied, I will ask again, and let him explain whether he lives or dies this time. ”

"No, you're doing well." Xu Ji paused for a moment, "What about the other thing?" ”

"It's been delayed for a long time about that matter, I asked around, the Wu people ignored me, and the people of Qinzhou didn't know much, but there were a lot of rumors."

"What rumors?"

"It is said that the soldiers of the Wu army hate the people of Dongdu, and they did not take revenge after entering the city."

Xu Ji sighed lightly, this was what he was most worried about, and it was also something he had been kept in the dark and unaware of.
