The morning light spreads a light crimson tulle on the earth, gently covering Gusu City, and the weeping willows around the city dance with the breeze. The river flows lazily through the city, and a huge stone arch bridge spans its winding paths, quietly carrying the weight of the entire city.

I saw a fast horse galloping over, whistling across the stone bridge, and heading straight for the county governor's mansion.

Probably because of the fatigue of many days, Zhang Xun slept until he woke up naturally, he sat up and stretched, and was about to start changing clothes, when he heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, it turned out to be He Yu, and He Yu said excitedly: "Brother Xiao Xun, Brother Xiao Xun!" My father is invited, saying that he has something important to discuss, come with me! ”

Zhang Xun was confused, so he had to get dressed hastily and go out with Heyu. Zhang Xun played with the hairpin while stepping into the main hall, at this time, Gong Wanran was already discussing with Su Ming, Zhang Xun was embarrassed to salute Su Ming, and then knelt down on the seat.

Yu Suming said: "This morning, the king suddenly ordered me to escort the king of Yue back to the country today, at the moment I am not well prepared, there is a shortage of manpower, and there is no plan yet, so I don't know what to do for a while." His talents are not enough, so he invited two gentlemen to come here to discuss countermeasures. ”

"Today? It's not that ......" Zhang Xun didn't finish speaking, but the hairpin fell off, Zhang Xun picked up the hairpin embarrassedly, messed with his hair, barely tied it, and said embarrassedly: "It's rude, it's rude." ”

"No problem." Yu Suming nodded.

Gong Wanran asked, "Lord Lieutenant, do you know why it was changed to today?" ”

"Hehe, the king suddenly remembered that it was three years ago today, and King Yue was escorted here. Therefore, the king planned to let the king go back on the same day. ”

"I see." Gong Wan nodded and asked again, "Have you already planned the route?" ”

"There is no need to plan, the king has set the route."

"Oh? Will the king take care of such a detailed matter? The public was puzzled.

"The king has ordered to follow the route that escorted King Yue three years ago and send him back the way he came." Su Ming said helplessly.

Zhang Xun nodded and said, "It seems that King Wu wants King Yue to relive this road of surrender." ”

"Huh." Juan Suming smiled bitterly, "The king doesn't understand Gou Jian......"

Then, Yu Suming pondered for a moment and said: "This way, you must pass through Changyi County."

"Changyi!" Zhang Xun was a little shocked.

"yes. If according to the original plan, the king of Yue will return to the country next month, then I will have enough time to arrange, I can allocate enough manpower, make sufficient preparations in advance, and formulate a plan to deal with Li Zida. But now things have suddenly changed, and I was caught off guard. Please also help me analyze how to do it now. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xun and Gong Wanran both fell into deep thought.

At this time, He Yu suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Father! The child is willing to lead the troops to escort the king of Yue! Capture Li Zida together and rescue grandparents! Avenge the people of Yiyang! ”。

"You know what?" Su Ming waved his hand impatiently.

"But Father! Rescuing grandparents is a family matter, escorting King Yue, and capturing Li Zida is a state affair, and the child is not only for the family, but also for the country! ”

"Alright, alright, don't mess around." Su Ming's face was displeased.

"But...... Father ......"

"Sit down!"

He Yu didn't finish speaking, but he was interrupted by Su Ming, and He Yu didn't dare to say anything when he saw that Su Ming's face was angry.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, and at this time, Gong Wanran smiled softly and saluted Su Ming: "The son is a family, a country, his heart can be learned, there is a son like this, the adult is very lucky!" ”

After hearing this, Su Ming smiled lightly and waved his hand.

Zhang Xun thought for a long time and asked, "My lord, how many soldiers can be called at the moment?" ”

"Less than thirty."

"The right general under your lordship?"

"Suitable?" Su Ming asked.

Zhang Xun cleared his throat and said slowly: "My lord, I think that in escorting King Yue back to China, security is important, but the most difficult thing is the arrangement of matters along the way. I estimate that this way to repatriate the king of Yue, it is indispensable to parade through the streets. ”

"Not bad. The king demanded a parade in every town along the way. Su Ming nodded approvingly.

"Originally, adults could have had enough time to plan how to deal with Li Zida in Changyi, but now that the incident happened suddenly, it is difficult for adults to plan."

"yes, that's the biggest difficulty."

"But everything has disadvantages and advantages, and as you can see, King Wu's temporary decision has helped the adults."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Yu Suming asked with great interest.

Zhang Xun paused and said: "Li Zida must know that the county lieutenant is in charge of escorting, if according to the original plan, escort King Yue back to China next month, then when the team arrives in Changyi County, Li Zida must be very vigilant." However, he holds the second elder in his hand, as long as he desperately threatens him, I am afraid that it will be difficult for adults to have a perfect strategy. ”

"It's true that I was thinking about how to deal with it last night, but I couldn't think of a solution." Yu Suming nodded.

"Now adults don't have time to plan, and Li Zida doesn't even know that the return date of King Yue has been changed to today, right?" Zhang Xun said confidently.

"Well, Li Zida doesn't know yet."

"If the lord can find a suitable general to escort King Yue, when he arrives in Changyi, Li Zida is very likely to be completely defenseless."

"Oh...... Mr. Zhang meant to find a general who seemed to have little contact with me, and who was not related to me, to do this, right? Su Ming suddenly realized.

"Your Excellency is wise." Zhang Xun saluted.

Hearing this, He Yu praised Zhang Xun's strategy, and he said excitedly: "When we arrive in Changyi, as long as the general tells Li Zida that the king temporarily ordered him to escort King Yue, Li Zida will relax his vigilance, and then we will secretly rescue my grandparents." ”

"Childe is smart." Zhang Xun said approvingly.

"Father! Baby, please come with me! He Yu asked for his life.

"No way!" Su Ming reprimanded.

"My father said that young people must be trained to become talents, so why don't you agree with me to accompany them?"

"There's no need to talk about this anymore, you go down." Su Ming was resolute.

He Yu still wanted to fight for it, but he had no choice but to stop speaking depressedly.

Subsequently, Su Ming saluted Gong Wanran and Zhang Xun: "Two gentlemen, Su Ming is difficult to say, but this matter still needs the help of the two gentlemen. ”

Gong Hui returned the salute and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this is also an unfinished business for the two of us, so naturally we should go all out, and Xiao Xunzi and I will accompany you." ”

"I can rest assured that there are two gentlemen who give advice and adapt to the situation." Yu Suming nodded.

"Thanks to your trust, the two of us will pack up and get ready to go."

"There is labor!"

Zhang Xun and Gong Huiran packed their luggage and brought Winter Tooth to the front of the mansion, at this time, Yu Suming was reviewing the soldiers, and a burly general in armor stood in front of the formation.

When Yu Suming saw the two, he introduced them to them: "Two gentlemen, this is the general of this escort mission-Ji Wu. ”

"Ji Wu has seen two gentlemen!" Ji Wu's voice is like a bell, and his momentum is extraordinary.

"I've seen the general." Gong Huiran and Zhang Xun returned the salute.

Subsequently, Yu Suming instructed Ji Wu, "Ji Wu, listen, you have to ask the two gentlemen for advice along the way." Remember not to reveal that you and I know each other, do not slam into your actions, and be sure to complete the tasks I have assigned to you! ”

"Whoa! Ji Wu obeyed orders! ”

At this time, Heyu pulled Shuang Tu to the front of the house to see him off. Frost frowned slightly, looking a little sad.

After everyone said goodbye, Juan Suming took the lead in getting on the horse and said, "The hour is almost up, we should go and pick up King Yue." ”

Juan Suming took Gong Huiran and others to the entrance of the market, only to see that there were a lot of people here, and the people of Gusu were waiting to see King Yue.

After a while, a group of people escorted the Yue Wang and his wife from a distance, only to see the two unkempt and ragged, they bent over, and carried the huge shackles with their rickety bodies. Thick chains were attached to the shackles, and the chains trembled and rattled with the heavy footsteps of the two men.

The crowd was boiling, and they smashed the soil and rotten vegetable leaves on King Yue, and King Yue and his wife just walked silently with their heads down, letting everyone be humiliated.

Walking to the entrance of the market, Juan Suming handled the handover with the escort personnel, and then handed over the documents and a piece of talisman to Ji Wu, "The handover has been completed, you put away the documents and talismans, and then set off." ”

At this time, King Yue, who was half-squatting on the side, suddenly raised his head slowly, glanced at Juan Suming with sideways eyes, sneered, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years. ”

Yu Suming also turned his head, looked at King Yue, who was covered in filth and gray hair, was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for many years." ”

"My cousin sent me, so do I still have a way to live?"

Yu Suming was silent for a long time, and said, "King Yue should do it himself." ”
