Since Dai Pohu's assassination, Chang Yanzhi easily refused to trust any outsiders, which was one of the reasons why he insisted on staying, and when he heard that the government had sent someone again, he immediately got up, reached out and grabbed Meng Yingbo's collar, and said sharply: "You brought it in, right?" You're here to frame Childe! ”

Meng Yingbo panicked, "No, isn't it...... Are you here to get me? ”

Xu Ji opened the Chang and said, "After the county lord of Fangde came, the government must have sent someone to monitor the back mountain, so the whereabouts of General Xiao Meng were discovered, and he should not have deliberately attracted it." ”

"Yes, yes, Childe is right...... Who is the Lord of Fondtle? Meng Yingbo had already heard that Xu Ji had another county lord's wife, and he was flustered for a while, so he didn't think about it at all.

Chang Yanzhi felt justified, first apologized to Meng Yingbo, and then asked Xu Ji, "What should I do?" ”

The old servant outside was also asking: "They are all officers and soldiers, and they have broken into the valley...... The little lord is out......"

Xu Ji said quickly: "General Chang went out to greet him, don't say much, if the officers and soldiers want to search the valley, go with them, don't obstruct it." ”

"Yes." Chang Yanzhi believed that Gongzi had his own way of dealing with it, so he didn't ask much, and immediately pushed the door out of the house.

Meng Yingbo was even more frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Does Gongzi want to hand me over?" ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Does General Xiao Meng believe me?" ”

"Of course I believe it, if I don't believe it, I won't come all the way to invite my son to Qinzhou."

"Okay."

As Xu Ji expected, the officers and soldiers sent people to monitor the back mountain, and Meng Yingbo was not a very alert person, so he was soon discovered.

The officers and soldiers reported one after another, and only entered the valley to look for people after a while.

There were more than 50 officers and soldiers in total, and the leader of the team was a general, who learned the lessons of the daytime, and did not send anyone to report, but directly led people into the valley, and the first thing was to surround them in all directions to prevent the infiltrators from escaping.

Zhang Shiqing ran out first and said loudly: "Who is trespassing on Siguo Valley?" ”

General Pi immediately arched his hand and said: "Someone has infiltrated the valley, it may be an assassin, please ...... the county lord"

Zhang Shiqing was taken aback, turned around and was about to run towards Xu Ji's room, and immediately stopped, "General Chang, where is Xu Gongzi ......?"

"Childe is fine, I just came out of him." Chang Yanzhi still had a little ambiguity about Meng Yingbo in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

Zhang Shiqing was a little relieved, "Did anyone really sneak into the valley?" ”

"Uh...... I don't know. Chang Yanzhi replied cautiously.

The general said: "My people have seen with their own eyes, this man entered the valley from the back mountain, wearing a cloak, deliberately hiding his tracks. ”

The soldiers have surrounded the entire courtyard, and there are still more than ten people on standby, and the general said: "County Lord, we want to search, please stay here......

"I'm not afraid of assassins." Zhang Shiqing took the colorful and walked to her room, the staff in her hand was not enough, she had to find a suitable weapon.

General Pi hurriedly signaled two soldiers to follow in case of an accident, and he said to Chang: "I want to search the valley, General Chang has no opinion, right?" ”

"Nope." Chang didn't dare to say much.

The general was a little surprised, "All the people in the valley have come out?" I'll have to check the number first. ”

Chang Yanzhi looked left and right, "Except for Childe, everyone else is here." ”

The general was stationed a little farther away, and he didn't come many times, and he only recognized Changyanzhi and the old servant, but he brought all the men and soldiers from the outpost outside the valley, called out the captain, and asked him to identify it.

The captain walked in front of everyone with torches, either blinking or nodding his head slightly to apologize, and then turned to the general and said, "All of them are from this valley, and the number is not bad. ”

"Okay." The general jumped off the horse, "Let's search the house first, and if we can't find anyone, then we will search other places." ”

"Hmm." Chang Yanzhi was calm on the surface, but he was uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't think of any clever plan that Xu Ji could hide Meng Yingbo without a trace.

There were also a few people who knew about it, and they all looked at it, and Chang Yanzhi shook his head slightly, signaling them not to act rashly.

Zhang Shiqing came out again, rummaged in the house for a long time, and found a sword, the sword body was inlaid with precious stones, and it was illuminated by the firelight, and it was shining, and the general praised it in his heart, thinking that this sword must be valuable, not how sharp it is.

In fact, the sword didn't even have a blade, Zhang Shiqing didn't notice it, and when he held it in his hand, he felt much more majestic.

Colorful holds the cane and never leaves the county lord's side.

Most of the rooms in the valley were low and narrow, and they were quickly searched, only the study and a bedroom were left, and the general was reluctant to deal with Xu Ji, so he could only reluctantly make it difficult at this time, but he came up with an idea, and whispered to the lord of Fangde County: "The target of the assassin must be Xu Gongzi, and now there is no one in the other houses, only ...... remains."

"General Chang said it was fine...... I'll take a look. ”

Zhang Shiqing walked ahead, and the general led people to follow.

There was no one in the study, Zhang Shiqing knocked on the door of the bedroom, usually she said to enter as soon as she entered, and she was embarrassed to trespass in front of outsiders.

"Who?" asked in the room, it was Xu Ji's voice.

"The officers and soldiers said that they saw someone sneaking into the valley and wanted to search it, just in case, is there anyone else in your house?" Zhang Shiqing was more careful, in case Xu Ji was really hiding someone and didn't want to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, as long as he hinted, she would help him block anyone.

"There is indeed a guest."

Zhang Shiqing was slightly surprised, "It's an acquaintance?" ”

"Acquaintances, not assassins."

The general stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Xu, the four realms are restless, the place is uneasy, we are ordered to guard, whether the people from the valley are cooked or raw, please let us take a look, and we can give you a good deal." ”

The door opened, and Xu Ji stood at the door, smiling: "What is the name of this general?" ”

The general stepped forward and arched his hand: "The last general's surname is Chen." Where are the guests? ”

Xu Ji didn't get out of the way, and turned to the side slightly, revealing Meng Yingbo behind him.

Meng Yingbo was very nervous, his face was cloudy, and he still thought that Xu Ji was going to hand him over.

The general was also surprised to find someone so easily, and he was also a little nervous, holding the hilt of the sword, motioning to the deputy to call the other soldiers over, and then said, "What do you call Your Excellency?" Who? What's going on here? ”

Meng Yingbo didn't dare to squeak, Xu Ji said for him: "This General Meng Yingbo Meng is an old family in Jiangdong, and now he is a general under the command of the Golden Saint Maiden in the army. ”

Taken aback inside and outside the house, Meng Yingbo took two steps back, wanting to resist, knowing that he was invincible, he had to sigh and give up the plan to draw his sword, thinking that King Wu really retreated to the end, and even the old man was gone.

The general immediately pulled out his waist knife and said sharply: "Bold traitor, dare to sneak into Jizhou, why don't you hurry up and arrest him?" ”

Zhang Shiqing was particularly surprised, and said to Xu Ji: "He is really ......"

Xu Ji nodded at her and said to the general: "General Xiao Meng is my honored guest. ”

"Young Master Xu, since you have abdicated and lived in seclusion, you should stay away from your old friends, why are you still colluding with traitors? We are all officers and soldiers, fighting traitors in the front, and ...... in the rear."

"General Xiao Meng is also a distinguished guest of the king of Xiangdong and the king of Jibei." Xu Ji added.

The general opened his mouth and stammered, Zhang Shiqing was confused, and Meng Yingbo was even more inexplicable, and couldn't help but whisper: "Am I?" ”

"He, he's a guest of Yecheng?" The generals did not dare to mention the names of the two kings.

"Yes."

"Then why don't you go to Yecheng and come to you?"

"Because of my special identity, it is difficult to enter the city, so I came here first and asked me to introduce you on my behalf. General Chen has come just in time, please tell the two kings that the distinguished guests of Qinzhou have arrived, and ask them to come and meet them quickly. ”

"Huh?" The general didn't understand, even if the "traitor" became a "distinguished guest", it was really unreasonable to ask the two princes to come to visit.

Xu Ji had no intention of being verbose, took two steps back, closed the door with both hands, and said to the general: "There is General Lao Chen, this matter is important, please reach it as soon as possible." "Then close the door.

The general was stunned for a moment, put the waist knife into the sheath, and said to the deputy: "You enter the city immediately, I will guard here." ”

The general saluted the lord of the county, and then called all the soldiers to surround the courtyard, and no one was allowed to leave.

Zhang Shiqing handed the sword to Colorful and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Xu Ji opened the door, "Come in and talk." ”

Zhang Shiqing was also not polite, and went into the house to look at the so-called "distinguished guests".

Meng Yingbo sat on the chair, his face was pale, he smiled awkwardly, and he arched his hand slightly, and he wanted to get up, but he couldn't stand up.

Zhang Shiqing looked at it a few times, "You are a subordinate of the Golden Holy Maiden?" ”

"Yes, I'm ......"

"What are you doing here?"

"I ...... I'm here to ask Gongzi Xu to return to Qinzhou. ”

"Back to Qinzhou? He is not from Qin, where did he come from to return to Qinzhou? ”

He ...... He is the king of Wu, the son-in-law of the descending king, and the husband of the golden saint, and all the soldiers of the descending army are looking forward to him being the leader again......"

Zhang Shiqing turned to Xu Ji and asked coldly, "Sure enough?" ”

Xu Ji nodded.

Zhang Shiqing's face sank, and he was about to speak, but the "distinguished guest" sighed heavily, "But Xu Gongzi refuses to go with me, and he wants to ...... me Will I ...... I don't know what to do. ”

Meng Yingbo never understood Xu Ji's intentions, so he was disappointed and scared, and his face became more and more pale.

Zhang Shiqing's face softened slightly, then turned a little red, and in order to cover it up, he hurriedly said: "You lie again, my father and the king of Jibei will not come, and Huan Yan will not come, at most send a cronie over, or even officers and soldiers, to take the two of you away, just because they lack an excuse." ”

Meng Yingbo made a strange and short sound from his throat.

Xu Ji didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's true that these three won't come, but they won't be officers and soldiers either, I guess...... It will be Mr. Sun Yalu Sun. ”

Zhang Shiqing suddenly understood, "You still have to use that strategy!" ”

"I said wait, now the time has come, there is no need to wait."

Zhang Shiqing glanced at the frightened "distinguished guest", and really couldn't see what the timing was, but his heart was much more relaxed, and he frowned: "The news he brought to Qinzhou, Yecheng doesn't know yet, can Huan Yan agree to form an alliance?" ”

"He stayed in the city for seven days, and the news he brought with him was mostly outdated."

"And what time is this?"

"You've read so many military newspapers, what do you think the situation in Xijing is?"

"I haven't watched it in a few days."

"It's enough to have an impression from the past."

"The situation is very good, although the officers and soldiers of the states arrived late, but after all, they are rushing over one after another, and there is enough food and grass, and there are more losses of horses, which does not affect the overall situation, and Xijing should be captured soon."

"Sun Yalu will bring diametrically opposite news." Xu Ji said with certainty.

"Really?" Zhang Shiqing didn't believe it.

Meng Yingbo ignored it, slowly calmed down, began to be curious about the identity of this girl, and couldn't help but say, "Are you ...... Lord Fond? ”

"yes, you know me?"

"I don't recognize it, but I've heard that you are another wife of Xu Gongzi......"

"Hey, I'm not 'another lady.'"

Meng Yingbo couldn't control his mouth, and said casually: "It's okay if it's not, the Golden Holy Maiden is holding back her strength to kill her." ”
