Chapter 7 Negotiations

At the foot of Kowloon Mountain

In front of a dirt road winding to the front of the mountain, there were two wooden rejection horses, and Daniel Zhang and Wang Er, two big-headed soldiers, held their knives, leaning on the rejection horses, and their eyes were half-closed and resting. The two of them have been marching all the way since last night, running from Chengdu County to this Huayang County, and they didn't close their eyes all night and were sent to guard the pass down the mountain, and they really can't stand it until now, and the upper and lower eyelids are fighting, anyway, Captain Liu has just come to check the sentry, and he will sleep for a while.

This prince's daughter is so good, if she loses it, she can call tens of thousands of people to find her. Daniel Zhang thought like this, suddenly felt itchy in his ears, felt like a mosquito lying on it, just wanted to dust it with his hand, and remembered the sound of thunder in his ears,

"Captain Liu is here! Captain Liu is here! ”

A shout frightened Daniel Zhang to sleep, quickly pinned the knife to his waist, "snap~" stood straight, glanced at it, saw that Wang Er, the kid was still sleeping silly, and greeted him with a slap. Wang Er opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Daniel Zhang standing straight next to him, frightened the three souls and six souls to lose a clean up, and quickly came to a standard military posture, shouting at the front blindly:

"Hello Captain Liu!"

"Hahahahahaha~~"

The two of them opened their eyes when they heard the sound, where the hell is Captain Liu, only the two sentries who came to change shifts leaned back and fell on the ground laughing.

"Oh, hahaha, two fools, hahaha!"

"Grandma's! Lie to Lao Tzu. Daniel Zhang raised his fist to hammer these two,

"Stop, stop! Last time, you scared us once, let's report it back and even. Sun Wu, who had just laughed and leaned back together, hurriedly begged for mercy,

"Hurry up and come over to change the shift for Lao Tzu, this night is a toss." Daniel Zhang impatiently pulled Wang Er to leave,

The smile on Sun Wu's face suddenly froze, pointing to the mountain behind Daniel Zhang,

"What's that!"

"That's your uncle's size! Again and again, singing Huarong Dao? Is there an end? "Daniel Zhang is only Sun Wu and is making fun of him,

"Mountain bandits!" Sun Wu didn't take a stubble, staring at the corner of the dirt road behind Daniel Zhang, Daniel Zhang quickly looked back, there was really fluttering dust, and a group of tan jujube red horses rushed out of the corner, rushing straight towards their outpost.

This comfortable single rider came down from the mountain, turned the foot of the mountain, saw Daniel Zhang and others in front of the sentry post, and quickly waved at them,

Daniel Zhang didn't recognize comfort, but a stunned mountain bandit came, riding alone to rush the card, rushing to Sun Wu and Wang Er with a gesture "Disperse!" ”，

An Yi only cared about the horse moving forward, how could he see the tripping rope set up on the mountain road, the front hooves of the jujube red horse under the crotch touched the tripping horse rope, and the feet were struggling, and he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, throwing the comfort on the horse's back far away.

"Take it!" The four Daniel Zhang, who had already been prepared, stepped forward together, and An Yi did not save his mind, and was driven by four steel knives on his neck,

Before An Yi could defend himself, Sun Wu took out a black cloth from his pocket and stuffed it into An Yi's mouth, and Daniel Zhang took the hemp rope, gave him a five-flower tie, pulled it up and escorted it to the Shu King's big tent.

An Yi was very depressed in his heart, he had just loosened his ties in this bandit's nest, and he came to his own people without saying a word and was tied up. Anyway, tied up and went to the big tent of the king of Shu, the little master of the province walked, and simply spread his body, and did not make any effort, let Daniel Zhang and them go to the big tent.

Of course, An Zhiyuan and Zhixian Zhutori are also here, and Old Man An came to the Shu King Army from the county government and Zhuzhi County that night, and he didn't close his eyes all night.

"I said Brother Zhiyuan, older people are no better than young people, you see your two eyes are red, go to the tent to rest and rest, I heard General Zhao say that he has found the hiding place of the mountain bandits, and before the afternoon, he can attack and rescue the daughter of the King of Shu and your son-in-law."

Taketori next to him looked at An Zhiyuan with a sad face, and comforted:

An Zhiyuan sighed, his wife passed away when she gave birth to An Yi and An Xin, he pulled the two brothers and sisters alone, and he has always regarded them as treasures, holding them in the palm of his hand for fear of breaking, and holding them in his mouth for fear of melting, if An Yi really has three long and two short, he really doesn't know how to explain to his beloved wife under Jiuquan.

Thinking of this, An Zhiyuan was even more uncomfortable, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiulong Mountain Pass, hoping that God would bless him and his son would be safe.

"Huh? Is that? An Zhiyuan looked at it intently, it was no one else, it was Daniel Zhang and the four,

"Don't worry, we can ........ in the evening" Taketori was still talking to himself, and suddenly found that An Zhiyuan next to him was not moving, staring ahead, he followed his gaze, heh! That Daniel Zhang and the four people are not suppressing An Zhiyuan's eldest son, who else? He hurriedly pulled An Zhiyuan three or two steps forward,

"What are you doing here? Let the people go! "Before the Taketori people arrived, the sound came first.

Daniel Zhang was a soldier in Chengdu and did not recognize Taketori, but Sun Wuxian recognized this Takezhi County.

"Takechi Prefecture! Report to Zhuzhi County, we caught a mountain bandit, suspected of being a spy, and was about to send it to the King of Shu! Sun Wu hugged his fist, Daniel Zhang and the others also reacted, and also followed to take a salute to Zhu, but there was no movement to loosen the tie on his hand.

According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, the magistrate has no authority to command the government soldiers, but Taketori is originally a seven-rank county official, but it is not comparable to these big-headed soldiers, so after Sun Wu recognized Takezhi County, he replied that "report to Takezhi County" is actually a polite word, in other words, Taketori has no authority to listen to the report of Sun Wu and others.

"Yi'er~" An Zhiyuan next to him hugged his son, "Oh my son, you're back, you're not injured, are you?" "Groping up and down to see if my son is missing any "parts",

An Yi couldn't say anything in his mouth, he could only scream "woo woo woo~", An Zhiyuan reacted at this time, and quickly helped his son take off the rag in his mouth,

"Quick! Take me to the King of Shu! ”

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army

The largest felt tent in the camp is the big tent of the Chinese army where the king of Shu is located, and there is a dragon flag with a blue inlaid yellow edge on the top of the tent, which is blown by the wind and makes the sound of hunting.

The dragon flag of the Great Xia Dynasty is divided into many colors, only the emperor can insert the yellow inlaid gold border dragon flag when the emperor drives the expedition, and the other princes can only be inlaid with yellow edges in other colors, the color is that Emperor Taizu sealed the world, and the princes at that time were selected, so the dragon flags of the Shu kings for generations are cyan with yellow edges,

There are two rows of long cases in the big tent, which is used by civil and military officials on both sides of the military meeting when holding military meetings. In the middle of a yellow rosewood dragon pattern carved case, the case is placed with the four treasures of the study, there is a person sitting in front of the case, a dark color narrow-sleeved python robe, the cuffs are inlaid with embroidered gold thread auspicious clouds, the waist of the vermilion white jade belt, the white jade exquisite waist is also engraved with a "Shu" word, is sitting in danger, and the bearing is compelling. This person is the king of Shu in the Great Xia Dynasty - Gao Youhong!

"Your Royal Highness, Huayang Zhixian asked to see him, saying that he had caught a mountain bandit and a spy!" The voices of the guards outside the tent rang out,

"Come in!" Although the King of Shu is fifty years old, his voice still gives people a sense of stability and steadfastness, full of magnetism.

Daniel Zhang and Sun Wu were holding Anyi, and Taketori took An Zhiyuan into the big tent, and the king of Shu didn't see that the report said that Zhuzhi County asked to see? Why did Huhula come in a room of people, and before Gao Yuhong could wonder, An Yi took the lead in speaking,

"Lord Wang, I'm not a spy, Miss Gao, the daughter of your mansion, is still on the mountain, I'm here to find the prince, I have something important to discuss, it's urgent!"

"Indeed, Lord Wang, this person is An Yiyi, the son of An Zhiyuan, a wealthy businessman in this county." Taketori pointed at An Zhiyuan, and An Zhiyuan nodded heavily.

When King Shu heard this, he stood up from behind the case and raised his hand to Daniel Zhang, "Untie him, you guys go down!" An Yi took off the hemp rope and hurriedly took out Gao Yingshu's jade pendant from his arms.

The King of Shu turned around from behind the case, took the jade pendant in An Yi's hand and looked at it, it was indeed his own. hurriedly asked, "Is she okay?" How do you go down the mountain alone? ”

"Don't worry, Miss, everything is fine! I came down the mountain this time to ask the prince to withdraw from the army. An Yi arched his hand towards the King of Shu, told the King of Shu about the situation on the mountain, and then said: "Lord Wang, please retreat for thirty miles first, and then I will return to the mountain and pick up Miss Guifu down the mountain." ”

After hearing this, the King of Shu smiled coldly, and turned back to the back of the case.

"Hehe, it turned out to be a lobbyist from the mountain!"

As he spoke, he pointed comfortably with his backhand,

"Listen, I, Gao Youhong, came with a large army this time, the first is to eliminate harm for the people, to eliminate the mountain bandits, and the second is to save my daughter, this king led the heavenly soldiers to sweep away the bandits, and will never negotiate conditions with the mountain bandits, if they are not willing to release people, then wait to be killed!"

An Yi then remembered Gao Yingshu's words in the stone room, "In my father's heart, the comfort of these tens of millions of people in the land of Shuchuan may be more important than his daughter." "Now it seems that it is not so.

But if you think about it carefully, the old Shu king raised an army of nearly 20,000 overnight and rushed to Huayang County, which is hundreds of miles away from Chengdu Mansion, just to eliminate harm for the people wholeheartedly. But let him order the whole army to retreat thirty miles for his daughter, and the royal blood of the old Gao family, which has flowed for more than 400 years, will not agree.

In normal times, An Yi will definitely think of finding a reason for the King of Shu to withdraw from the army and give him a step down, after all, it is the Great Xia royal family, and face is always given.

But unfortunately, this morning, Anyi has not been idle since he woke up, after fighting Lin Muzhi, he did not idle for a moment and hit the horse down the mountain, and Anyi, who was not familiar with the mountain road, was upside down on horseback, and as a result, he was tied up by several sentries of Daniel Zhang without saying a word at the bottom of the mountain, which finally reached the big tent, who thought that this Gao Yuhong also put up "Wang Ye Genealogy." At this time, even a clay figure is angry.

"Lord Wang! Please forgive the people for being unreasonable. ”

"Dare to ask, is this Jiulong Mountain still within the naturalization of the Great Xia King's Land? Is it within the jurisdiction of Sichuan Chengxuan's political secretary? Is it counted as the King of Shu, in your fiefdom? Are the mountain bandits on this mountain still considered the people of the Great Xia Dynasty? They are now gathering in the mountains and forests to be thieves and bandits, but which son can still eat, which husband can still afford to support the family, is willing to live this kind of life of licking blood from the knife edge? If you really do everything for the people wholeheartedly, then you will not bring 20,000 troops to encircle and suppress your former people now! ”

An Yi's string of cannons can be said to be said with guns and sticks accompanied by fire, and Gao Yuhong was not shocked at first, but An Zhiyuan was scared clearly, and Taketori on the side did not react.

Zhu took the heart and said Brother Zhiyuan, this time I really can't help you, this precious son, it's not good that the King of Shu is angry and even I am angry, thinking, Xiao Xiaobu stepped back, planning to find a time to leave the place of right and wrong. Now he wished that God could send down an errand officer, and said to him loudly: Lord Zhu, there is urgent business in the county, and you need to deal with it immediately!

An Zhiyuan didn't pay attention to Taketori's small movements, staring at An Yi with wide eyes, how could this leisurely character suddenly start a fire, and sprinkle fire on the King of Shu. Mr. An has been in the mall for a long time, and he naturally treats people and things, and his ability to talk about people is easy, he wants to interject a sentence to help his son play a round, but he doesn't know what to say after racking his brains.

"Are you accusing this king of having no way to govern the land?" The King of Shu had a gloomy face, naturally he didn't expect this hairy boy to choke himself.

"The prince has misunderstood, whether there is a way to govern or not, it is by no means up to any small people who have the final say, and the prince Tianhuang is not something that I, a small people, can blame. And the cultivated fields all over the mountains, the rice piled up in the barns, and the green forest heroes who put down the butcher's knife on the mountain and returned to the people, will spread the wisdom of the prince all over the land of Sichuan and Shu. ”

Comfort is also to solve the problem, after all, you can't exacerbate the contradiction with a moment of anger, not to mention that if the hundreds of lives on this mountain are wiped out because of his impulse, this will be the responsibility for living for the rest of your life.

Seeing that the King of Shu didn't speak, he hurriedly received, "Lord Wang!" Five days, you give me five days to bring your daughter and the people on Jiulong Mountain down comfortably! ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he bowed his head and stood still. His heart also rose to his throat, and he felt that Gao Yuhong had already taken the Yu Ling of asking Hongcha to pull him out to sacrifice the flag in his mouth.

Gao Yuhong stood with his hands in his hands, and then paced back and forth behind Gao Yuhong, and suddenly stretched out three fingers, staring at An Yi,

"Just three days!"
