After Qiu Liquid got the news of his own lord, he immediately began to intercept Dai Yan and his party. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The speed of riding a horse is really fast. He set out early the next morning, and at dusk that night, he rushed to Pinglu and met the Song envoy with great fanfare.

When Qiu Liquid found the Song State Mission and told him about the matter of life and death, he soon met Dai Yan.

Qiu Ye told Dai Yan the news that he and his lord had obtained in Linzi Nulu, and told Dai Yan completely. When Dai Yan heard that Tian Ying wanted to kill him, his eyes were full of shock.

Dai Yan took out a lot of money and thanked Qiu Liquid, and after sending away Qiu Liquid, that night, Dai Yan began to gather his retainers and began to discuss the matter.

"Childe, since this Tian Ying wants to kill you, and Qi Guo is so untrustworthy, let's just go back to Song Kingdom!" This was Tang Ying who persuaded Dai Yan to turn back.

"Childe, no! If we return to the Song Kingdom now, then we will not be able to complete the matter of quality Qi. If we can't complete the qualitative thing, the Qi country will inevitably send troops to attack our country again. Childe imagined, how could I, the Song Kingdom, be able to resist the Qi Kingdom? Once the Qi soldiers come to the city, I think someone will definitely propose to take Gongzi's life to appease the anger of the Qi State. We must not turn back! Tian Buli directly rejected Tang Ying's opinion.

"How about we flee to another country?" Xiao Xiang asked again.

"Fleeing to other countries, Qi Guo really has no choice but to take Gongzi. However, in this way, Gongzi will become a fugitive from the Song and Qi states from now on. Childe's foundation left in Fengyi will also be completely destroyed, and the loss to Childe is too great! Tian Buli also vetoed Xiao Xiang's opinion.

"It won't be possible to return to China, and it won't be possible to escape, do you want your son to wait for death in this Qi country?" A scholar who later admired Dai Yan's name and came to Dai Yan said. This person's name is Han Lie, and he is a native of Suiyang.

"I don't mean that in the next place!" Tian Buli categorically vetoed.

When Tian Buli was still waiting to be elaborated, suddenly the guards outside the door came to report that there were many more Qi soldiers outside the post house where they were staying, and these soldiers had surrounded the post house!

Soon, a messenger sent by Doctor Pinglu outside announced to Dai Yan and his party that Qi State had found out that there were spies from Wei and Zhao in their group, and Qi State was going to send someone to search for it!

However, how could Dai Yan, who had learned the news in advance, believe the words of outsiders, and he ordered the people accompanying him to be ready to defend against the enemy.

After the envoy repeatedly announced that he would come in and search without success, Dr. Pinglu began to send troops to storm the post house at the instigation of Qi Maungbi.

Although the scholars who followed Dai Yan to the Qi State were very brave and good at fighting, they could not resist the attack of the Qi army outside, and soon, more than half of the more than 100 soldiers who followed Dai Yan were killed or wounded!

As the offensive outside became more and more fierce, Dai Yan had completely confirmed Tian Ying's killing intent towards him! His mind was racing, but he couldn't think of a solution to the current predicament!

Just when Dai Yan was getting more and more depressed, Tian Buli encouraged Dai Yan and said: "Childe, I haven't reached the end of the road yet, don't be depressed!" ”

Not the end of the road? Dai Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.

After he came to this era, as a nobleman, his life was good compared to most people in this era. At the same time, he had been on the battlefield and had seen corpses strewn all over the field. He originally thought that he had seen both the beautiful and dark places of this era.

However, facing such a desperate situation for the first time made him truly understand what kind of era he lived in! This era is the truly brutal Warring States period!

He watched the soldiers who were loyal to him fall one by one and die at the hands of the Qi people, and his heart was filled with grief!

Finally, he was not going to endure such a scene, and he said to the people around him: "The people of Qi want my life, and you are all innocent. In today's situation, only if I go out to commit suicide and apologize, the people of Qi will let you go. After I die, you can return to the Song Kingdom with peace of mind. Let Juzi and Xu Zi divide the rest of my property to you, this is my last order. ”

In Dai Yan's opinion, it is always worth exchanging his own life for the lives of so many of his subordinates.

However, when he finished explaining, he found that his soldiers were all staring at him in unison, except for those who were still resisting outside, and none of them spoke.

Dai Yan didn't talk nonsense with these people anymore, he pulled out his sword and was about to commit suicide directly!

But just as his sword was about to hit him in the neck, he was struck hard in the back of the head, and he didn't know anything.

The person who knocked out Dai Yan was Tang Ying. After dating Tian Buli for a long time, after receiving Tian Buli's hint, he didn't care that he would be punished by Dai Yan in the future, and directly knocked Dai Yan unconscious.

Then Tian Buli said to these scholars: "Now that the Qi State is besieging us, we are in a hurry, and if we want to let the Qi people retreat, someone must follow Gongzi Fangcai's approach, commit suicide and apologize, and hand over the head to the Qi people, so that the Qi people can retreat." After the Qi people retreat, I will naturally have a way to ensure the safety of my son. Now is the most dangerous time, but someone will die in place of Childe and be loyal to Childe? ”

Hearing Tian Buli ask, Tang Ying first became impatient: "Since we have already pledged our allegiance to Gongzi, then this life has been sold to Gongzi!" Be loyal to your son, right now! How could anyone disagree? The rest of the people also followed Tang Ying's words, and everyone said that they could die instead of Gongzi!

Tian Buli carefully observed the remaining people, and then he said to Han Lie, a Suiyang man: "In the eyes of the kid, among our remaining people, only Mr. Han Lie looks the most like the son, can the gentleman be loyal to the son?" ”

When Han Lie heard Tian Buli's words, he didn't say a word, he took off the clothes on Dai Yan's body and put them on his body.

He said to the remaining scholars in the field: "Everyone, I, Han Lie, am an ordinary ranger in Suiyang, I first defected to Gongzi, but I heard that Gongzi is virtuous and wants to find a place where I can eat enough.

However, when I came to Childe, I was fortunate enough to meet all of you. And Childe did not dislike me at all for being from a humble background, and treated me with the same attitude as the nobles, and I was thinking that if I could serve Childe one day, it would be worth dying!

Today, I am going to walk ahead of your brothers! I hope you must make sure that Childe is okay and assist Childe well in the future! I believe that in the future, Gongzi will be able to return to the Song Kingdom and lead our Song Kingdom to the world! And in the future, you will definitely be able to become virtuous ministers like Zhao Yuan, Huyan, and Xianzhen!

Ladies and gentlemen, please everyone! ”

After saying that, he gave a deep bow to these people.

Then he walked towards the gate of the post house with firm steps!

At the gate, there were corpses piled up everywhere, some from Qi and some from Song. When Han Lie saw such a scene, he shouted directly at the people who were fighting, "Stop, everyone stop fighting!" ”

shouted three times in succession, and the Qi and Song people, who were fighting fiercely, stopped.

Han Lie walked to the door of the post house with firm steps, and shouted to the Qi people outside: "I am the prince of the Song Kingdom!" I know that you have received an order from Jing Guojun to kill my Ziyan in the territory of Qi State! I used to be in the Song Kingdom, and Jing Guojun had no way to take me; Now that I have arrived in the territory of Qi State, Jing Guojun can finally get his wish! If you want my head, just come at me! But these subordinates of mine, they are all innocent! Ziyan hopes that he will die in exchange for you to let them go, so that they can return to their hometown safely! ”

After saying that, Han Lie drew his sword and killed himself in front of everyone!

"Lord!" "Childe!" Several wails and at the same time, I remembered that those Song Guoshi who had been injured in the previous fight with the Qi people couldn't take care of their own wounds, and rushed to Han Lie's corpse, crying bitterly at the corpse!

Because it was night at this time, and Han Lie and Ziyan's appearance was indeed somewhat similar. These people couldn't see it clearly, thinking that their lord had really committed suicide in front of the people of Qi in order to keep them alive!

And along with these people, there were also those scholars who had stayed by Dai Yan's side before, and they followed Han Lie out of the gate, all of them wailing and crying bitterly!

Soon, the cries came to mind one after another near this post house, and a huge wail spread in the night, and the people of the entire Pinglu City were awakened by this earth-shattering wail!

When Dr. Pinglu saw such a scene, he was also emotional. He said to Qi Maung, who was standing beside him, "Sir, what are we going to do next?" ”

Qi Maungbi walked in front of Han Lie's corpse and took a closer look at the fallen corpse. The owner of the corpse was young, handsome, and had a divine light. Although he had never seen Ziyan, he had heard his own lord describe Ziyan's appearance, coupled with the sad appearance of these Song scholars, Qi Xiangbi also believed that Ziyan had committed suicide and apologized.

He couldn't help but feel a little sorry. What a fierce son, he actually fell here like this!

This regretful thought only stayed in his heart for a moment, and soon disappeared from his heart! In Qi Maung's opinion, anyone who dares to be an enemy of his lord Tian Ying will die! And he argued that this loyal dog was responsible for biting his lord's enemies to death one by one!

He drove away these Song Guoshi who were lying on Han Lie's corpse one by one, picked up the sword on the corpse, and personally cut off Han Lie's head! Picking up Han Lie's head and bloody sword, he took Doctor Pinglu and led these Qi soldiers away.

And when those Song State wanderers who were fighting with the Qi soldiers outside at the beginning wanted to stop them, they were all blocked by Tang Ying. Tang Ying also said with a sad face and gritted teeth in front of the people of Qi State: "I can't die in vain now, bringing the body of the son back to Fengyi for burial is what we should do!" ”

Then he led the soldiers back to the inn.
