Sun Yalu came just in time, and Xu Ji took advantage of this visit to easily deceive the truth from Wang Pei's mouth.

As soon as the Incarnation Army entered the territory of Qinzhou, it clashed with the New Army, which soon evolved into a major war.

The demands of the leaders of the new army were simple: to recognize the son of the descending king, but not to accept the daughter of the descending king, and they demanded that the golden holy woman hand over the young king, and that she should be under the joint care of the leaders of the old and new armies, and that she should either go to her husband or stay only as an older sister, and henceforth be responsible for the food and daily life of the young king, and not interfere with anything.

Of course, the Golden Saintess would not accept such harsh conditions, leading troops to fight, winning and losing each other, and there were many casualties, and the descending army finally broke through the encirclement of the new army and rushed to Xijing with a large number of family members.

The new army was unexpectedly frustrated and did not dare to pursue, and they did not have a foresight, and it was rumored that they would go wherever there was food and where it was easy to fight.

Xijing is still occupied by a group of officers and soldiers, and they have been alone for a long time, almost exhausted, and there are not many people left, but the city is still strong, and it is not easy to attack, so the new army does not like to go, and ridicules the golden saintess for killing themselves.

Dai Pohu, Wang Pei and others were captured in the battle, and they thought they would definitely die, but they didn't expect that after suffering for a few days, they suddenly got courtesy, not only were they untied from the ropes, but also served with wine and meat.

Soon, they understood why.

There were many leaders of the new army, and there were three of the most powerful, one of whom claimed to be a powerful man, and I don't know if this was his original name or nickname, he saw the golden saintess in full armor in front of the battle, and fell in love with her, so he sent someone to ask for marriage.

As soon as the envoy of the courtesy set out, he openly declared that the marriage had been decided, and demanded that the new armies be prepared to merge with the old ones.

Of course, the other two big leaders disagreed, and quarreled over it, and one of the reasons for their opposition was that the golden saint was a married woman, and her husband was still alive, so she had no reason to marry another.

A few days later, the envoy returned with almost the same answer, and the golden saint was not angry, at least on the surface, but refused very clearly, and the reason was also that she was a married woman.

The face of the enemy was gone, and he was furious in his heart, and he immediately sent troops to pursue the Golden Holy Maiden, claiming that he would take 100,000 heads as a dowry.

No one wanted to fight this battle, and I don't know who came up with the idea, so Ling Xiong Enemy abandoned his original plan and decided to send someone to capture or assassinate King Wu alive.

"If her husband dies, or if she divorces her wife, the golden saint will not be considered a married woman, and she can marry me." This was the exact phrase of the Mighty Enemy, who was to recruit Assassins among the captives.

Speaking of this, Wang Pei was very embarrassed and felt the need to make some excuses for himself: "The new army has not enough food at home, and is never willing to give more to the prisoners, we are so hungry that we really catch what to eat, the straw mats under us, the soil on the ground, and even the heart of cannibalism ......"

Recalling the tragic situation at that time, Wang Pei choked up a little.

"Many people are rushing to become assassins?" Xu Jidao.

Wang Pei said twice, "Before that, all the captives are willing to surrender, really, as long as they are given food, surrender immediately, there is no other word, it's not that General Dai and I can't stand that kind of suffering, it's everyone, everyone!" At that time, not to mention the assassination of King Wu, it was relatives killing each other, and everyone would rush to do it. ”

Xu Ji didn't squeak, and after Wang Pei was excited, he immediately showed a look of malaise and guilt, "Ten people are ...... to be picked by the enemy."

"I've only seen three people."

"There are also three people who are the Descendant Army, and the other four are the Old Army, and General Dai is worried that they will attract the suspicion of King Wu, so let them find a place to live first. As soon as the three of us entered the realm of Yecheng, we met Tian Jiang, so we came with him. We discussed and tried to capture ...... alive Try to ask King Wu to go to Qinzhou, but it can't be done, ask King Wu to write a letter of resignation, and we will take it back, which can be regarded as a transaction. ”

"That's all?"

Wang Pei knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "The four cronies who are invincible, they ...... They were more willing to take King Wu's head back, saying that it was more convenient......"

Feng Juniang, who had been writing, put down her pen heavily and said angrily: "You still have a king of Wu, and you will come if you are too invincible to let you come?" Did he promise you a reward? Have you taken your wife and children captive? ”

"No, no." Wang Pei's face was red and his ears were red.

"Just to make a living, you volunteered to be an assassin? The reputation of the Wu people has been lost to you. ”

Wang Pei's face turned even redder, "We want to ...... We thought ......"

Xu Ji continued for him, "Anyway, 'King Wu' has abdicated, he can abandon all the soldiers, why can't the soldiers abandon him?" ”

Wang Pei suddenly straightened up and said loudly: "Whether to abdicate or not is the business of King Wu, whether to be loyal or not is our business, Mrs. Feng is right, I do disgrace the Wu people......"

Wang Pei took out a dagger from his arms, Feng Juniang was shocked, but he didn't want to assassinate King Wu, he turned the dagger and stabbed it to his chest.

"Death does not atone for sin." Xu Jidao.

Wang Pei's arm froze, his expression was a little more angry, and he said after a while: "What does King Wu want me to do?" ”

"I want you to live."

"I ...... I have no shame to stay with King Wu, and I can't go back to Qinzhou......"

"The world is vast, where can it not be accommodated? You are from Jiangdong, at least you have a home to go back to. ”

"Koto...... It has long been out of the hands of the Seven Clans, and the life and death of my family are unknown, who can I go to? Wang Pei sighed heavily, threw away the dagger in his hand, and fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

Xu Ji sat still, Feng Juniang was a little embarrassed, and persuaded: "A big man, what is there to cry about?" Since you're here, you know how smart Xu Gongzi is, why don't you ask him to show you a clear path? ”

"I'm really ashamed to ...... King Wu," Wang Pei didn't dare to ask for a clear way.

Xu Ji said: "You can go to King Ning." ”

"King Ning?" Wang Pei stopped crying and raised his head, revealing a face full of surprise.

Feng Juniang was also surprised, "Childe won't forget, right?" Ning Baoguan burned many Wu soldiers to death, and had a blood feud with the children of the Seven Clans. He's a son of the Seven Clans, right? ”

Wang Pei nodded.

Xu Ji said: "Hatred is hatred, and the road is the road." If you have to take revenge, you can temporarily go to the Sheng family in Huaizhou, if you don't want to take revenge, but you don't like King Ning, you can go to Yizhou to chase after the King of Shu, if you just want to find a way out, and can last longer, defecting to King Ning is the best choice. ”

Wang Pei nodded again blankly, "Thank you King Wu for your advice, but...... As far as I have heard, King Ning did not have any feats in Jiangdong, and everyone said that he would not survive the summer and would inevitably die in the chaos. ”

"How long King Ning can survive, I can't guarantee. You can go back to Jiangdong, if King Ning attacks the city and plunders the land everywhere, then you don't want to run, I can't say where to go. If King Ning claims to accept the court's recruitment, and does not offend the villages and towns along the way, you will have to be reused and long-lasting. ”

Wang Pei became more and more surprised, but he did believe that King Wu had more foresight than himself, and kowtowed heavily, "King Wu is very gracious...... Alas, it would be superfluous to say anything more. I'll go back to Koto, but before that, I'll have to stay. General Dai will bring people back tonight, and the four henchmen who are invincible are all strong martial artists, and each of them can defeat ten ......."

"If you really regret it, don't stay, immediately set off and go back to Jiangdong, I will send you some entanglements, you avoid General Dai and them on the road, and you must not delay for a moment."

Wang Pei kowtowed again, picked up the dagger, held it in both hands, put it on the edge of the mat, got up and said: "King Wu's word is worth a thousand gold, enough for me to use, I ......" Wang Pei didn't know what to say, turned around and ran out of the room.

"Childe really let him go?" Feng Juniang asked in a surprised whisper.

"Hmm."

"But he volunteered to be an assassin for a bite to eat......"

"'Eating for a bite of food' is the most forgivable reason in the world, not to mention that in Qinzhou, he can't help himself, everyone wants to please the invincible, he just did what everyone else would do."

That being said, but he ...... I see that he is not a good person, he is forgetful, he is capricious, and he is neither loyal to his son nor to his new master. ”

"A scholar, what loyalty do you want? Invincible and reckless, and not worthy of allegiance, if anyone can't survive this summer, I'm guessing him. ”

There was a noise outside, Chang Yanzhi entered the house and asked in confusion: "Why did Wang Pei offend Xu Gongzi?" said a bunch of strange things, and said that he wanted to go back to Jiangdong, and the people had already left. ”

"Let him go."

"Yes." Chang Yanzhi thought more, "Is Wang Pei ...... Doing something excessive? ”

"On the contrary, Wang Pei has done me a great favor and revealed a very important piece of news, you tell the others to be careful tonight, there may be a visit from a guest with bad intentions."

Chang Yan was shocked, and vaguely understood why Wang Pei had to leave, so he didn't want to ask any more, so he arched his hand and said, "How many 'guests' are there?" ”

"No more than nine people, I guess they'll split into three teams of a few people each."

"I see." Chang Yanzhi retired, gathered his companions, and prepared to welcome the uninvited guests.

"There are officers and soldiers outside, don't you ask them for help?" Feng Juniang asked.

"Don't embarrass them." Xu Ji smiled.

Feng Juniang didn't understand the meaning of the words too much, but she didn't ask, "Wang Pei said that the four men who are invincible are all one against ten, and there are only about thirty people in our valley, and there are twenty-five or six people who can hold swords, even if Wang Pei is a little exaggerated, we don't seem to be opponents." ”

"The other party has 'one against ten', and we also have a field craftsman."

"Hey, he was the one who attracted the assassins, and he said that he was going to block the visitors for Childe - what a shame, I believe in him so much."

"He said he was going to block visitors?"

"Yes, he said that Childe's old ministry might come to visit, and he wanted to block it."

"That's right, it's true that the 'visitors' are blocked, and the 'assassins' are brought in."

Feng Juniang was taken aback again, "What does Childe mean...... Tian Jiang knew that these people were assassins, and deliberately brought them in? ”

"It's possible." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"If he does that...... What does he mean? Feng Juniang felt that things were not so simple.

"Blocking visitors is to keep me from being tempted by the outside world, and to put in the assassins is to make me completely dead. That's what he probably meant. ”

"But those three people are assassins after all, and Tian Jiang doesn't secretly remind him, how do you know that Gongzi will definitely be able to escape assassination?"

"Tian Jiang has his own ideas."

"His thoughts kill people." Feng Juniang no longer had the heart to write, and walked out, "I have to discuss a solution with Chang Yanzhi and them." Tian Jiang ...... What a weirdo. ”
