Ma Wei did not regret it at all, and was even a little proud, firmly believing that the decision at that time was correct, all the time, he had a low status among the kings, comparable to the king of Wu and the king of Shu, and when the king of Wu was promoted to the lord of the army, he felt indignant.

Is the word "Emperor of the Great Liang" really meaningless?

Killing the incarnation king with his own hands, Ma Wei finally gained the attention he had dreamed of for a long time, yes, there were many people who hated him and even wanted to kill him to avenge him, but there were also many who supported him and thanked him, and deliberately ran to him from other places.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and if you don't hate, you can't respect them, Ma Wei's team has indeed grown a lot, and these people are stained with the blood of the incarnated king and his relatives and friends together with the king of Liang, and they are tightly tied together in this way to become a real Liang army.

"Guo Shifeng, this idiot." Ma Wei said in a low voice, the only regret is that the strategists around him actually ran away and did not know his whereabouts, "It is difficult to achieve great things with one mouth after all, Guo Shifeng is like this, and Xu Ji is also like this." ”

Ma Wei walked out of the barracks, his armor wrapped from head to foot, a little heavy, but he felt he could bear it.

The Liang soldiers lined up neatly, and Ma Wei walked in front of them, and then summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

"I will go to the kings and find out about it."

"King Liang...... Do you really want to repent? A general asked worriedly, he was originally a descendant army, and he had killed many Xue family members with his own hands, and he was afraid that the so-called confession was just the beginning, and then they would have to pay more and greater costs.

Ma Wei sneered, "Why do you want to repent? I have done what all kings want to do, and you will join me in eliminating the evil of the incarnation, and you will not have to repent. Everyone should be grateful to Liang Jun. ”

"Yes, we should be thanked, we just dare to do it, even if they are cowardly, they still want to use a knife in the back!" The generals complained in a mouthful of words, and behind their indignation there was a fear that could not be fully concealed, they were a minority in the city, and the mutinies that took place everywhere were invisibly exaggerated, making them feel that they were facing enemies on all sides.

Waiting for the generals to complain, Ma Wei said: "I'll go to see the kings, if it's really as King Wu said, everyone repent together, I might as well follow the people, not for anything else, plug everyone's mouths, and give Liang Jun a chance to breathe." When time passes, the Descendant Army will still be grateful for your righteous deeds. ”

The generals nodded one after another, just like the Dharma in the main hall, they were not convinced, but in their hearts they hoped that the situation would calm down.

Ma Wei sighed lightly, "The Descendant King is not worthy of the confession of Emperor Liang at all, but as long as it is beneficial to the soldiers of the whole army, I can bear the humiliation." ”

The generals spoke to comfort and thank King Liang, and Ma Wei was satisfied, so he called the guards and got on his horse and left the camp.

Ma Wei was very cautious, and soldiers had already been arranged along the way, no one was allowed to walk or peep, and everyone along the street had to nail the gate shut, and if the door was too small, the people who lived in it had to move out.

The monks in the monastery are chanting, unhurried, and beating the wooden fish on time.

Lei Dajun said to King Wu: "They refuse to leave, and the ruling says that they can't be moved, so they ......" Lei Dajun was helpless.

"Let them stay, and the kings won't come into the house anyway, so set up a table in the open space."

Xu Ji was the first to arrive, standing behind the table, listening to the melodious chanting, feeling the bright sunshine, and forgetting the internal and external troubles in an instant.

The king of Shu Ganzhao arrived second, only with more than ten guards, far less than the agreed hundred, wearing only a few pieces of armor, stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "King Wu has convened this gathering too timely, we should really meet." ”

Xu Ji stepped forward to greet him.

The guards all stayed in the distance, and Xu Ji whispered, "How is the King of Shu?" ”

Gan Zhao let out a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Thanks to King Wu's proper handling, most of the soldiers believe that the King of the Descendant is really ...... Ascension, there is no need to avenge him, and the worry of mutiny is gone. ”

"But the mastermind hasn't been found yet."

"Mastermind? King Wu thinks there is a mastermind in this? Gan Zhao looked surprised.

"What does the King of Shu think?" Xu Ji said with a smile.

Gan Zhao was stunned for a while, "King Wu is right, there have been mutinies in the kings' camps, it seems to be too much of a coincidence, and - there are also assassins there in King Wu?" ”

Xu Ji nodded, "I happen to be out of the room." ”

"I was in my room, and the assassins were two people, and they were discovered by my guards, and they would rather die than surrender, and they couldn't even ask for a confession."

"Does no one recognize them?"

"Yes, both of them are soldiers of the Incarnation Army, and they may be at the behest of anyone. It is strange that the relatives and friends of the incarnation king have been killed, who would be so persistent in avenging him? And there are wronged heads and debtors, they should find King Liang. ”

"Therefore, the mastermind must not be the one who came to the world." Xu Ji is very sure of this.

Gan Zhao's eyes widened slightly, and after a moment, he sighed, "I believe that the mastermind must not be King Wu, and please believe me, without the kings, I will not be supported by everyone, let alone the opponent of the officers and soldiers outside the city." I'm self-aware. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Of course I believe it." ”

"It shouldn't be King Liang, inciting such a thing will do him more harm than good. In this way, it can only be ......"

The guards announced the arrival of King Liang, and Gan Zhao immediately shut up.

Ma Wei glanced at it from a distance, made sure that there were no outsiders around the two kings, left the guards, strode over, bowed his hand to the king of Wu and the king of Shu, and asked when he got closer: "Haven't the kings of Jin and Ning arrived yet?" ”

"Maybe it's been delayed on the road." Xu Jidao.

Ma Wei glanced at his guards again and whispered, "Thank you King Wu for your help." ”

"It's a matter of duty. General Pan said my proposal? ”

Ma Wei nodded and looked at Gan Zhao, "Do the others agree?" ”

"I was about to tell the King of Shu about this." Xu Ji turned to Gan Zhao, "The incarnation king died, I hope all the kings can go to the main hall today to worship the dead." ”

Gan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while, "I was originally the old ministry of the incarnation king, and I should indeed go to worship in public and private." Do you have to go to the main hall? ”

"There are no bones of the incarnated king, the clothes are scattered, and there is nowhere to sacrifice except the main hall."

Ma Wei raised his head slightly, "The incarnation king should have such an end, the second king doesn't think I did something wrong, right?" ”

Xu Ji had nothing to say, and Gan Zhao smiled, "I don't dare to judge the kings right or wrong, King Liang himself thinks it's right." ”

"That's right, everyone wants to kill the Incarnation, but I just dare to do it."

King Ning's general Luo Hanqi came over, also leaving the guards in the distance, Ma Wei glanced at it, and sneered: "King Ning didn't dare to come, I thought he was the most daring among the kings." ”

Luo Hanqi bowed his hands to the three kings respectively, and then said to King Wu: "King Ning asked me to ask, is the so-called rumor that the kings went to the main hall to repent together is true or false?" ”

Ma Wei also wanted to know, so he stared at Xu Ji.

Xu Ji nodded, "Really." ”

"King Ning said that he doesn't like others to make decisions for him, and King Wu should discuss it with him first."

"Gather the kings to discuss the matter."

"But the rumors are already known to everyone, what else are they discussing?" Luo Hanqi's tone was blunt, he was only loyal to King Ning, and he didn't take anyone else seriously.

"Even if the world knows it, King Ning can still refuse, whether to go or not, it's all up to King Ning's words."

"What if King Ning doesn't go?"

"I and the other three kings are still going to go, so to speak, to repent, or to worship, depending on what each of them thinks."

Ma Wei wanted to say that if King Ning didn't go, he wouldn't go, but he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, he knew that Xu Ji was good at attacking his heart with tricks, and after King Ning really refused, it would not be too late for him to make a decision.

Ma Wei set a bottom line in his heart, and he must not let the soldiers of the Liang army think that he wants to admit his mistakes, which will make him appear weak and timid, and lose the hard-won military heart.

Luo Hanqi hummed, took his leave, and returned to his own crowd, and after a while, Ning Baoguan himself walked out of the guards, came to the three kings, nodded his head, and said expressionlessly: "Then let's go." ”

As soon as Ning Hugguan arrived, several people fell silent, and no one refused to speak again, each with their own concerns, waiting for the arrival of King Jin.

The king of Jin did not arrive for a long time, so he sent Liu Youzhong over first, claiming that there was chaos in the camp, and the king of Jin wanted to deal with it, and he would arrive in a while.

After Liu Youzhong left, Gan Zhao smiled and said, "King Jin doesn't want to believe us, let Mr. Liu come and check." When he saw that the four kings were coming, he himself would come. ”

"Hey." Ning Baoguan didn't say a word.

Ma Wei defended Shen Tan: "To tell the truth, we don't trust each other, I am willing to come this time-" Ma Wei looked at Xu Ji, "It is to see King Wu's face, among the kings, I only believe in him." ”

"I also believe in King Wu." Gan Zhao smiled, but did not say "only believe".

Ning Baoguan was still silent, he was willing to come, he had already expressed his attitude, and he didn't have to say it.

Xu Ji thanked the three kings, there were three points of pride and three points of guilt in his heart, and his thoughts about the gathering of kings were not so simple.

Ning Baoguan finally spoke, "King Jin is not coming, let's talk about something else first." The officers and soldiers are building equipment outside the city, and they are about to be completed, so let's just do it and wait? Since King Wu is the commander of the army, let's come up with an idea. ”

The kings have their own ideas, and the so-called letting others take ideas is a humble word, and they use it to hide their own meanings.

Xu Ji knew this, but still said: "I am negotiating with the officers and soldiers to discuss the matter of surrender. ”

The other three kings were shocked, Ning Baoguan's face showed obvious anger, he had accepted Zhao'an several times, but he did not allow others to carry him to the court.

Xu Ji smiled: "First settle his heart, so as to slack his will." When the officers and soldiers had repaired their equipment, and thought that the city would fall, and their morale would inevitably fail, the kings would lead their troops to take turns to kill them from all gates, so that the officers and soldiers would be tired of coping with the many enemies, and within a few days, they would have the upper hand. ”

"It's an idea." Ning Baoguan's angry face disappeared and said coldly.

Gan Zhao smiled and nodded, Ma Wei couldn't help but say, "King Wu doesn't want to fake it, just do it." ”

"I killed the Emperor of All Things with my own hands, and I never imagined that I would be forgiven by Heaven. King Liang must be able to understand. ”

Ma Wei had just killed the King of the Incarnation, of course he understood the truth, and snorted twice, "That's right, anyone can take refuge in the imperial court, but King Wu ...... I can't, I am also the mastermind of the assassination of the Emperor of All Things, and Tiancheng hates me to the bone. ”

The king of Jin finally arrived, leaving the guards, and a person ran quickly and apologized from afar, "Let the kings wait for a long time, I really deserve to die." ”

No one blamed him, Shen Tan came to the table, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said, "It is true that we should worship the descending king, why don't we go to the main hall first, and then discuss the matter?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Ji said that he waited for the trust of the kings, and it was time to take advantage of it.
