The messenger sent by Zhang Xianzhong, named Yan Ximing, was a down-and-out talent in his early forties, and he had been following Zhang Xianzhong for a long time.

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and summoned Yan Ximing in the big tent.

Yan Ximing arched his hand to Li Zicheng, "Yan is the staff of the Eight Kings, and he came to meet the Governor of Dadu on the orders of the Eight Kings!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at Yan Ximing, dressed in a long robe, looking like a scholar, with a square face, a slightly dark complexion, and well-groomed hair, which seemed to have beaten Morse, and looked very smooth.

He smiled faintly, pointed to the little Mazha in front of him, and said, "The conditions in the big tent are simple, and Mr. Yan is neglected!" ”

He Xiaomi was unhappy when he saw that Yan Ximing did not pay homage, although he served tea, he threw it on the small square table angrily, and a little tea was spilled.

Yan Ximing saw it in his eyes, but he pretended not to see it, and bowed his hand to Li Zicheng, and said: "Metropolitan Governor, Yan was entrusted by the Eight Kings, thank the Metropolitan Governor for the grace of the horse that day......"

"These little things are not mentioned," Li Zicheng waved his hand, the war horse was sent by Luo Rucai privately, and Luo Rucai was killed, and Zhang Xianzhong's war horse was given privately, which is also one of the reasons, "Mr. Yan said it bluntly, what do the eight kings mean?" ”

Yan Ximing clapped his hands, and an entourage came in from outside the account, carrying a gray cloth package in his hand, Yan Ximing took it and offered it with both hands, "Dadu Governor, the eight kings thank you for the grace of the past, this is the heart of the eight kings!" ”

Li Zicheng was pouting, He Xiaomi took it, put it on the small square table in front of him, opened it and looked at it, and was suddenly shocked to close his mouth!

A bag full of jewelry!

Agate, diamonds, jade bracelets, gold hairpins......

Li Zicheng glanced at it, and understood in his heart that Zhang Xianzhong secretly fled when he was out of the city and did not return, and he didn't even dare to say hello, how could he give a big gift because of the war horse? He smiled faintly and said, "The Eight Great Kings know their kindness, unlike the ...... as rumored by the outside world."

"Have you heard any bad rumors?" Yan Ximing was stunned: "The Metropolitan Governor, it must be the imperial court that slandered the Eight Kings and deliberately provoked the relationship between the Eight Kings and the Metropolitan Governor, the Eight Kings regard the Metropolitan Governor as a brother, and will never do anything harmful to the brothers!" ”

"Whether it's provocation or not, the governor of Pontus will judge," Li Zicheng said awe-inspiringly: "Not to mention anything else, the Mandate of Heaven army has already occupied Huguang, but the people of the Eight Kings are burning, killing and plundering in Huguang, is it hurting brothers?" ”

"General Sun did go to Qizhou," Yan Xi ordered, "At first, Qizhou is not the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army......"

"Wherever the soldiers are going, they are all the territories of the Heavenly Mandate Army," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Not only Qizhou, but the entire Huguang is the Heavenly Mandate Army!" ”

Yan Ximing hesitated and said, "Governor, this ......"

"Sun Kewang of the Eight Great Kings actually burned, killed and looted on the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, that was because he didn't take the Heavenly Mandate Army in his eyes," Li Zicheng took out two folded white papers from his arms and threw them on the square table in front of him, "Mr. Yan might as well take a look!" ”

Yan Ximing picked up the folded white paper, unfolded it and looked at it, but was taken aback, and cold sweat unconsciously flowed from his face.

Catch Zhang Xianzhong, whether you live or die, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! Catch Sun Kewang, whether you live or die, you will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!

It's a challenge for the dew!

Yan Ximing stayed for a while, and said cautiously: "Metropolitan Governor, Sun Kewang has offended the Heavenly Mandate Army, but he has already received a severe punishment from the Heavenly Mandate Army......

Li Zicheng said angrily: "The Mandate of Heaven only punishes soldiers, but the war criminal Sun Kewang and the main culprit Zhang Xianzhong are still at large, how can those people who died unjustly close their eyes?" ”

Yan Ximing hurriedly said: "Governor, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" ”

"On the same day, the eight kings gave fifty war horses, and today the eight kings gave back a bag of jewelry, and the grievances in this regard can be regarded as two clear," Li Zicheng put away the jewelry on the small square table, handed it to He Xiaomi, and sighed: "However, Zhang Xianzhong killed the people, and he must be counted!" ”

He Xiaomi was overjoyed and hurriedly put away the jewelry, these jewels were sold, I am afraid that I can get a lot of silver, right?

Yan Ximing suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, he had never seen such a shameless, fifty war horses, can they be worth a bag of jewels? This is clearly the Eight Kings bowing their heads and buying roads...... He arched his hand and said, "The Governor ......."

Li Zicheng interrupted Yan Xi's words and said, "Mr. Yan went back and told the Eight Kings that Luo Rucai, He Yilong, and Lin Yangsheng had been killed by the Governor of Pontus, and now it was his turn!" ”

Yan Ximing wanted to cry without tears, Li Zicheng got the jewels, but he still refused to bypass the eight kings, he had a feeling of "losing his wife and breaking his army", "The governor treats the old man like this, I'm afraid it's not the royal road......"

"Mr. Yan doesn't have to mind, the Eight Kings understand the mind of the Governor of Bendu," Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "The army of the Heavenly Mandate Army is approaching Lei Shui, and we will have a battle sooner or later!" ”

The main reason why he pressed Zhang Xianzhong step by step was that Zhang Xianzhong wantonly plundered the people wherever he went, and the more he looted now, the more difficult it would be to recover in the future.

The rivers and mountains are so good, and they can no longer be ruined by rogues like Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zicheng's position was different from that of the imperial court, which eliminated the Liukou in order to maintain its own rule, while Li Zicheng persecuted Zhang Xianzhong, which was for the sake of the people and the future Chinese Empire......

Now that the strength of the Heavenly Mandate Army is superior, if you can take the opportunity to annihilate Zhang Xianzhong, there will be less strife in the future!

Yan Ximing's lips moved, and before he could speak, Li Zicheng had already waved his hand and said, "Xiaomi, send off!" ”

He Xiaomi's heart was secretly happy, and sent Yan Ximing away, the jewelry he had just accepted belonged to the Heavenly Mandate Army, he walked in front of Yan Ximing, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the outside of the big tent, and said, "Mr. Yan, please!" ”

Yan Xi's life was helpless, so he had to bow his hand to Li Zicheng, without saying a word, and followed He Xiaomi's big tent out of the big tent and went back with the servants.

When He Xiaomi returned to the big tent, he saw the Metropolitan Governor in a daze outside, he didn't dare to disturb, and quietly stood behind Li Zicheng.

After a while, Li Zicheng came back to his senses, "Xiaomi, Yan Ximing went back?" ”

"Go back!" He Xiaoxiao said: "Metropolitan Governor, this Yan Xi's life, I'm afraid it won't be easy to make a difference when I go back, right?" ”

Li Zicheng stood up, slowly paced out of the big tent, looked up at the sky, and said indifferently: "Yan Ximing will come back!" ”

"Will you be back?" He Xiaomi was stunned for a moment and said, "Metropolitan Governor, does Yan Ximing still want to humiliate himself?" ”

Li Zicheng retracted his gaze, glanced at the dense military camp, showed a strange smile on his face, and said lightly: "Xiaomi, notify all battalions and regiments to start building pontoon bridges and prepare to cross the river tomorrow!" ”

"Ah...... Be! ”

After dawn the next day, the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army had breakfast early, and the soldiers who built the pontoon bridges seemed to be even busier.

A small boat, coming from the east, except for an old boatman, only a man about forty years old, standing with his back to his back, waited until the boat approached the west bank, the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven surrounded him, and they all drew their waist knives and aimed them at the man's body.

The man walked down the bow of the boat, bowed his hand to the soldiers, and said, "I am the envoy of the Eight Kings, I have already met your Metropolitan Governor yesterday, and today I will send an envoy again to discuss important matters with the Metropolitan Governor, please lead the way!" ”

"The messenger of the Eight Kings?" Some of the soldiers recognized it, and it seemed that it was yesterday's messenger, so two soldiers led the way and led the man in front of Li Zicheng's big tent.

When He Xiaomi saw the comer, he couldn't help but be stunned, the Metropolitan Governor was right, Yan Ximing really came back! However, Yan Ximing learned to be obedient this time, and did not carry a gift, but with empty hands, I don't know what it means.

Yan Ximing saw He Xiaomi, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "General He, is the governor here?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor ......" He Xiaomi said according to Li Zicheng's instructions: "But the Metropolitan Governor is holding a military meeting, and Mr. Yan may not be able to see ...... for the time being."

"Military meeting?" Yan Ximing was shocked in his heart, but his face did not change color, and he said lightly: "Can General He pass on the word on his behalf, just say that there is something important to ask to see ...... below."

"Something important?" He Xiaomi's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "Could it be that there is anything more important than the military meeting of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" Isn't Mr. Yan an important aide of the Eight Kings......"

Yan Ximing hurriedly said cautiously: "General He, the military meeting of the Heavenly Mandate Army is naturally important, but ......"

"That's it!" He Xiaomi directly interrupted, "This meeting, the battalion and regiment-level officers are here, we have to have a big military operation......" Speaking of this, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, widened his eyes, and turned around to take a look, fortunately, there was a meeting in the big tent, no one paid attention to this, he pressed his chest with his hand, and couldn't help glaring at Yan Ximing fiercely, it seemed that Yan Ximing caused him to say that he showed his mouth!

Yan Ximing became more and more suspicious, thinking that just now on the shore of the thunder water, the Heavenly Mandate Army had already built a large number of pontoon bridges, as long as they were glued together, they could cross the people and horses, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, "General He, no matter what, this matter is very important......"

He Xiaomi looked at Yan Ximing as if he had seen an alien monster.

Yan Xi had a good heart, and he hurriedly took out a silver ingot, at least twenty taels, "General He, no matter what, help with this ......"

He Xiaomi stretched out his right hand and glanced at the silver ingot, his eyes flashed with a snatching light, but he finally retracted his hand, "Mr. Yan is going to kill him, if he is known by the Metropolitan Governor, his head will be gone," he reprimanded: "Don't put it away yet......"

Well? Yan Ximing was stunned, there are still pro-soldiers on duty who don't love silver? Isn't it for money to be a soldier? Or is the Mandate of Heaven army disciplined?

However, looking at He Xiaomi's gaze just now, he is definitely not a person who does not love silver...... He approached He Xiaomi, and quietly stuffed the silver ingot into He Xiaomi's arms, He Xiaomi looked around, but found no pedestrians, so he patted his chest, straightened his clothes, coughed lightly, and said: "Mr. Yan waits, and he will go to the next place, but whether the Metropolitan Governor is willing to summon him, he does not dare to guarantee it......

"There is General Lao He!" Yan Ximing saw that He Xiaomi had received the money, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

He Xiaomi quietly approached the big tent, approached Li Zicheng, whispered a few words, Li Zicheng deliberately frowned, thought for a long time, and waved his hand to the officers in the big tent, the officers quickly got up, and rushed out, and everyone swept Yan Xi's life with unkind eyes in turn.

Yan Ximing "sighed" in his heart, fortunately, the Heavenly Mandate Army suspended the military meeting, otherwise...... He was secretly overjoyed, and he hesitated in his heart!
