At dawn, Turning Jianglong deliberately took another look at the captive, and after confirming that it was really "King Wu", he couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile, "What good things have I done in my last life, I have to be favored by God and give me such a treasure!" Ha ha. ”

"Why the last life?" Xu Ji asked.

Turning Jianglong looked at it coldly, the person in front of him was slightly different from the "King Wu" in his memory, but his appearance was correct, "Because I haven't done anything good in my life, and I don't plan to do it, so if King Wu wants to persuade me, please excuse me." In any case, I will give you to He Rongbu, get a heavy reward, and then watch you be killed, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"I have long since abdicated and am no longer the king of Wu."

"When you hand it over to He Rongbu, you must be King Wu." The dragon shouted and slapped his horse to the front, and from time to time there was a loud laugh.

One of the subordinates of the river dragon was a local, and he led the way, bypassing Yuyang City, and went straight to the northern border fortress, and after a day and a night of rapid travel, he met the first cavalry outside the fortress.

He Rongbu had already assembled a large army, and after a few days of delay outside the pass, he finally persuaded the guards to let him go, and more than 1,000 vanguard troops explored the way in front, and as soon as they saw the soldiers, they surrounded them, and before they could rush closer, they released a flurry of arrows.

Turning Jianglong's face changed from joy to fear, and he shouted "surrender", but the other party rushed as if he didn't understand—or maybe he really didn't understand—still rushed over.

Turning Jianglong hurriedly ran back with his men.

Dozens of people could not escape the pursuit of thousands of He Rong cavalry, but for three or four miles, they were surrounded by regiments and had no way to escape, and the advantage was that the other party no longer fired arrows, but kept shouting.

The dragon took the lead, and everyone dismounted one after another and put their weapons on the ground.

Only Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi were still sitting on horseback, and their hands were tied, and it was okay to hold the reins, but it was more difficult to dismount.

He Rong's cavalry galloped closer, and the neighing and stampeding of the horses were continuous, like thunder coming from the ground.

Turning Jianglong's face was pale, he was really afraid that these people would shoot themselves indiscriminately, so he knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to Xu Ji, and said loudly: "King Wu!" That's King Wu! I sent King Wu here. ”

The cavalry shouted and reprimanded, although he couldn't understand it, he could roughly understand the meaning, closed his mouth, fell to the ground, and everyone under his command did the same.

Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi still couldn't do it, so they could only raise their hands and let the cavalry see the rope on their wrists.

Finally, a He Rongren who could speak the Central Plains came, and after listening to what Jiang Long said, he came to the middle of the team, looked at Xu Ji carefully, and asked, "Are you King Wu?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "No, there is no one in the world. ”

Turning Jianglong shouted: "He is the king of Wu, abdicate ......"

With a whoosh, an arrow was shot into the ground against the river dragon, and the river dragon shut up again, sweating profusely, but he didn't expect He Rongren to be so difficult to deal with.

The cavalryman asked, "Are you the former king of Wu, named Xu Gongzi?" ”

"My name is Xu Ji, and everyone calls me 'Xu Gongzi'."

The cavalry frowned, "You don't look like King Wu." ”

"Have you seen me?" Xu Ji said with a smile.

The cavalry shook his head, "King Wu shouldn't be like you. ”

"Maybe it's because I have ropes in my hands and no soldiers under my command."

The cavalry frowned even tighter, turned around to ask for instructions, and soon came back and ordered everyone that a team of cavalry dismounted and tied up all the people who were turned over Jianglong and others, but they were loosened by Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi.

"This is not fair, King Wu was caught by us, and he specially came to dedicate it to He Rongbu......" Turning Jianglong wanted to defend a few words, and someone tied him around his mouth with a rope.

The cavalry said to Xu Ji: "Whether you are the real King of Wu or the fake King of Wu, you must be honest, loosen your ties, and you are not allowed to escape." ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "Don't run away, which adult will you take me to?" ”

The nobles of the He Rong Department were collectively referred to as "lords", but the cavalry refused to answer, "I will know soon, if you are really the king of Wu......" The cavalry laughed twice and slapped away.

Chang Yanzhi whispered: "What is he laughing at?" It seems that he has bad intentions, so he won't take us to see He Rongpingshan. ”

"Maybe that's a good thing."

"A good thing? How can it be a good thing? He Rong Pingshan hates Gongzi and wants to kill you quickly. ”

"If you can persuade He Rongbu to give up the alliance with Bingzhou, it would be a good thing, as for He Rongpingshan, let's talk about it when we see it."

Chang Yanzhi was speechless, although he admired Gongzi's calmness, but felt that he was too calm, there are blessings in this world, but this time he couldn't see the "blessing".

The vanguard of He Rong's army continued to advance, sending hundreds of people to escort the captives back.

Although Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi were still not free, at least their hands and feet were no longer bound and they rode forward normally, while Chuanjianglong and others were connected by ropes and dragged by the cavalry to run, suffering miserably along the way.

Two hours later, the team stopped, and the captured Jin soldiers fell one after another, and the little strength left was also used to curse the river dragon in a low voice, blaming him for introducing himself into such a situation.

In front of us was a large battalion, lined with tents and no fences, and groups of cavalry galloped across the country, seemingly unruly, but without collision.

Xu Ji and the others were left at the edge of the camp, and after half an hour, it was getting late, and a team of people came, and when they saw the leader, Chang Yanzhi immediately said: "It's broken." ”

He Rongpingshan had only seen Xu Ji once, and he was deeply impressed, so he glanced at it from a distance, turned around and left.

"What does that mean?" The way of the word.

"The new order is in the plug, let's go see him."

"Huh." Chang Yanzhi's heart sank a little more, and thinking back to the root of all this, he said, "Childe should have asked me to draw my sword at that time. ”

Another group of people arrived and ordered Xu Ji to go with them, and only he was alone.

Xu Ji smiled at Chang Yanzhi: "Drawing a sword can retreat a group of enemies, but opening your mouth can retreat a country's army." ”

Chang Yanzhi smiled bitterly, and waited for Gongzi to go away, before he said to the Chuanjiang Dragon who was sitting on the ground: "Gongzi has this ability." ”

Turning Jianglong said weakly: "I can brag too, believe it or not, I can even persuade the gods in the sky to retreat?" Phew, he's not King Wu, he's just a little white-faced scholar with no soldiers and no generals, and he can't even persuade me, and he still wants to persuade He Rongbu? Look, he'll be publicly executed later. ”

Chang Yanzhi's heart went up and down, and when Jiang Long said this, he was very confident, "Gongzi is a knife that kills cattle, and he can't use it on you." ”

Turning Jianglong licked his dry lips, "I can see King Wu killed, this trip is worth it." ”

The good fortune of the river dragon was not over yet, and a gorgeously dressed Lord He Rongbu came, ordered the tie to be loosened, and asked, "You sent King Wu here?" ”

Turning Jianglong squeezed to the front, "I brought it, and I dedicated King Wu to He Rongbu, these people are my subordinates." ”

"Well, you're good, what reward do you want?"

Turning the river dragon was overjoyed, "He Rongbu thinks that King Wu is worth whatever price, and he will give whatever reward, and we will not choose." ”

"Okay, follow me to claim the reward."

Turning Jianglong glanced at Chang Yanzhi, his pride was overflowing, and he led his excited subordinates to follow Lord He Rongbu to receive the reward, and he flattered him in every way along the way, but the other party ignored it and refused to even reveal his name.

Chang Yanzhi's heart sank again, and he muttered: "How much blessing does it take to suppress such a big disaster." ”

Xu Ji was taken to a large tent, which was covered with large and small blankets, many people were sitting or standing, eating and drinking, and there were several women among them, and as soon as he entered, all eyes looked over.

Xu Ji saw He Rongping Mountain at a glance.

King Zuo Shenwei was very embarrassed, standing like a servant, holding a foot-high pottery in both hands, I don't know whether it was water or wine, his eyebrows were low, his expression was wooden, he was wearing an ordinary robe, he didn't have the original look at all, and there were still a few scars on his face.

Of course, the people who can be served by He Rong Pingshan will not be ordinary.

It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and He Rongbu was very strong, but in comparison, this person looked relatively thin, with a full beard, and was turning his head to look at the woman beside him.

The woman, who was about his age, was feeding two very young children with meat torn into thin strips, and the children's faces and clothes were greasy, and their mouths were open, waiting for the meat to come in like chicks, and they did not care about what was going on around them.

Xu Ji was pushed from behind, took a few steps forward, and faced the bearded man in the middle, knowing in his heart that this was He Rong's new single Yu He Rongqiang's arm, this person's name was strange, and the Central Plains knew very little about him.

He Rongqiang finally turned his head and looked at the guest.

He Rong Pingshan said cautiously: "He is Wu Wang Xu Ji. ”

"Do you recognize me?" He Rongqiang asked, Zhongyuan dialect is more fluent than He Rongpingshan.

"Your Excellency is only in He Rongqiang's arm."

When his name was mentioned, He Rongqiang's arm was not annoyed, "Since you know who I am, why don't you kneel when you see me?" ”

"If it's an enemy, I don't want to kneel, and if it's a friend, I don't need to kneel."

He Rongqiang laughed, still not angry, and stretched out his hand to He Rongpingshan, "The Zuo Shenwei King was killed like this by you. ”

"I have only met He Rongpingshan once, and I have no contact with each other, so I don't know how to hurt people."

"Your servant, whose name is Tian Jiang, fled twice. There is also the princess of Tiancheng, who was supposed to marry King Zuo Shenwei, but also ran away, all at your behest. ”

"Tian Jiang is not my servant, I did not say anything when he was captured, and he did not flee at my behest. As for Princess Fangde - I don't know why or how she escaped, but I do know that she is not worthy of He Rong Pingshan. ”

"Who doesn't deserve whom?"

"He Rongpingshan is not worthy of Princess Fangde."

He Rongqiang laughed, and He Rongpingshan on the side glanced at two annoyed and angry eyes.

"I heard that the princess was once your wife?"

"I visited the church, but it doesn't count, she doesn't admit it, and I don't admit it."

"Then you still speak for her."

Xu Ji bowed for the first time after entering the account, "I don't speak for Princess Fangde, I speak for Shan Yu and Yecheng." Since ancient times, the marriage match is the right one, the princess of the Central Plains will marry the lord of the outside world, I don't know what He Rongpingshan's plans are in the future, but his current status is not worthy of the princess. ”

He Rong Pingshan's face changed slightly, and when he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he glanced at Shan Yu and didn't dare to speak.

"Do you think the princess should marry me?"

"If you have to marry outside the Saiwai."

He Rong Pingshan turned to the woman beside him, "Someone persuaded me to marry a new wife. ”

The woman glanced at Xu Ji quickly, and continued to feed the two children meat, "There are many such treacherous people in the Central Plains, who rely on the advantage of their tongues to deceive the lord and divide the monarch and the minister, this kind of person is called a strategist and also called a lobbyist. This person is not the king of Wu, but a lobbyist, and he is not a princess, nor is he the king of Zuo Shenwei, and if he continues, he will inevitably persuade Shan Yu to break with the state. ”

Xu Ji understood that the woman must be from the Shen family and was a powerful opponent.

He Rongqiang's face was slightly gloomy, and he raised his right hand, "Cangtian sent me a good omen, and on the first day of entering the fortress, I will become the first king of the Central Plains, and I want to thank Cangtian for returning the salute." ”
