Hearing Ning Yue ask about Su Rui, Zhou Bian was silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you think Su Rui really descended to my royal family?" ”

Ning Yue was slightly stunned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Back to the king, they have already gone to pick up Su Rui's family, so Su Rui should be sincere." ”

"But you should also know that some people want fame and fortune, but they don't even want their wives and sons."

"The king is talking about Wu Qi and Le Yang, one kills his wife and the other kills his son, but Su Rui is different, Su Rui has an old mother, and unfilial piety is a big sin, and he Su Rui doesn't dare to have two hearts." Ning Yue affirmed.

"I hope so, Su Rui is a talented person, and his scheming is so deep that even the king does not dare to be completely assured, although he will let him order the house slave to pick up his family, but the king still does not dare to leave him in Luoyang, what he is afraid of is that he is not completely at home and has a small move. And with this king, this king is not afraid of what tricks he plays, although he is named the centurion of the Imperial Forest Army, but the hundred Royal Forest Army are all the king's own soldiers, in fact, they are in the hands of the deputy centurion Zhou Tong. And, with him by his side, this king is also confident to find out what his heart is, or directly let him return to my royal family. Zhou Bian said slowly.

Unexpectedly, he saw Ning Yue's expression of suspicion, so Zhou Bian continued.

"You see that Su Rui knew that he was trapped in Luoyang City, mostly because the Han army in the rear was passively defending the city gate, but he still did not resent the Han army, but when he fled the city, he also designed to pass on the appearance of the catapult, which can be seen in his heart. Moreover, Su Rui still uses our catapult, and the joy of the catapult is passed on, who would have thought of this, it can be seen that this person is quite resourceful. How dare this king not take such a person with him? ”

Ning Yue gave up his hand, "What the king said is true, but no matter how smart Su Rui is, he will still be seen through by the king after all." After Su Rui stays by the king's side for a while, he will be impressed by the king, so that he will sincerely serve my king. ”

"I hope so, I promise you." As he spoke, Zhou Bian leaned back lazily. "Where is this, why do you ask Fan Yu to ask, you haven't come back yet?"

"Why don't you go and see it again?" Ning Yue was about to get up.

"Forget it, this king is not in a hurry."

After chatting casually for a few more words, the two of them saw Fan Yu come back.

I didn't hold the bag of clothes in my arms, but my face was not very good. Fan Yu lifted the curtain of the car and got in and sat down facing Ning Yue, then arched his hand and said, "Report to the king, there are still a few miles ahead of Chenggao, Wei Hou's subordinates said that they would rest in Chenggao at noon, and they would be able to rush to Xingyang north of Shiqiu in the evening." ”

Fan Yu said this very quickly, and he looked like he was angry and came back. couldn't help but provoke Zhou Bian to smile and ask, "It's just to ask for directions, why did you become like this after you came back?" ”

"Report to the king, I don't dare to say it."

"Why don't you dare to say it?" Not to mention Zhou Bian, even Ning Yue on the side was also curious.

"They insulted the king." Fan Yu turned his head, but saw that his eyes were slightly red.

Ning Yue turned his head and glanced at the king, and then Zhou Bian asked, "How did they insult this king?" ”

"Wei Hou arranged to protect my king's frame is more than 1,000 people under the commander Luo Wen, and he rushed to find General Luo Wen to ask for directions, General Luo Wen is okay, although he is on the chariot, he still stands up and holds the chariot to answer. I didn't want to ask questions, when a certain person came back on foot, he suddenly heard several young generals pointing at the carriage on the king's side on the chariot, and one of the generals also said, hey, a certain dare not say, and can't speak, anyway, it is an insult to the king, a certain family is not convinced, so they stepped forward to reason with it, did not think that they jumped out of the car to surround a certain family, pulled out their swords to want to compete, a certain family saw that the enemy could not be beaten, so they had to turn around after some entanglement. The Wei people are so angry, if it weren't for the large number of them, according to the swordsmanship of a certain family, they would definitely be killed. ”

I only heard Fan Yu finish saying these words angrily, but Zhou Bian smiled, looked at Ning Yue and said, "Fan Yu has grown up and knows how to endure it." ”

Ning Yue didn't know what to say, so he had to laugh dryly, but Fan Yu blushed, thinking to himself, isn't your king younger than me, how can I say that I have grown up, but the words rolled to his mouth, and he still didn't say it after all.

"Then what insults did they say to this king, tell me quickly."

"Don't say it." Fan Yu shook his head resolutely.

"This king commands you!" Zhou Bian's face sank.

Only then did Fan Yu speak, "They pointed here and said, saying that Ji Bian Xiao'er was in that car, laughing while talking." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bian grew his mouth, and after glancing at Ning Yue, he said again, "What they said is not wrong, this king's surname is indeed Ji Mingbian, this is obviously a pile of sons or noble children, so you don't have to pay attention to it." ”

"But calling him by his name is a great disrespect to the king, as a subordinate, how can you bear it?"

"If you can't help it, you have to endure it, now that our situation is lower than others, we are in the hands of Wei Hou, we must endure." Zhou Bian sat up straight and said sharply.

Seeing Fan Yu's depressed expression, Zhou Bian added another sentence, "Endure it until we return to Luoyang." ”

Ning Yue on the side also nodded, "The king is reasonable, we must endure it, let Wei Hou relax his vigilance, and wait until the day when we return to Luoyang, after that, hum!" ”

Although the following words were not spoken, the meaning of them was understood by all three people in the carriage.

So Fan Yu nodded, "A certain family knows." ”

"It's good to know." Zhou Bian stared at Fan Yu and said.

Ning Yue persuaded Fan Yu a few more words, and Fan Yu's expression became natural again.

"This king is tired, you all go down, and call this king's maid to come up." Zhou Bian leaned down again and waved his hand.

The two hurriedly quit and got out of the car, and then the curtain was lifted, and Qiao Nu knelt and climbed up, "King, it's hot, drink some cold water." ”

Smiling and taking the water cup handed by Qiao Nu, Zhou Bian leaned back. Although the journey was vast and boring, as a slave owner, how could you not enjoy the rotten social system? So, soon Zhou Bian fell asleep in Qiao Nu's arms, and on the other side was Tian Qian, who got into the car later, gently beating the king's legs with both hands.

When I woke up, I was woken up by the heat, and when I touched the back of my head, I was sweaty, and my hair was sweaty.

Seeing that the king woke up, Qiao Nu hurriedly helped the king up, found a pu fan, and fanned it with Tian Qian and Tian Qian. After cooling down a little, Zhou Bian realized that the carriage had actually stopped.

Is this a break or a break in Chenggao? Seeing that the king wanted to lift the curtain, the well-behaved Tian Qian immediately preemptively said, "King, it's almost noon, General Fan Yu came over just now, saying that the convoy has stopped outside Chenggao, and will leave after an hour of avoiding the heat." ”

Oh, it turned out that it was time for the noon break, and Zhou Bian was not so anxious, sitting there, letting the two fans cool down, and then with the support of the second daughter, he lifted the curtain and jumped down.

As soon as he opened the car curtain, it was a dazzling strong sunlight, and it took a while after jumping off the ground before Zhou Bian got used to it. Looking around, I saw that this was a sparse woodland, and my carriage was surrounded by more than ten other carriages of the royal family, and next to the carriage were piles of maids and temple people, as well as the guards or sitting around, or standing with weapons, and farther away was the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army in armor, and then there were Wei soldiers in black armor, although they couldn't see it clearly, but they could clearly find that they were faintly surrounded by themselves. But think about it, my more than 300 people, placed among the 100,000 Wei army, must be sandwiched in the middle.

When I came back to my senses, I found that under a big tree in front of me, Ning Yue and Su Rui were kneeling and sitting, and when they saw the king get out of the car, they hurriedly stood up and walked over here, presumably they were hiding under the shade of the tree and chatting. At this time, Fan Yu also came out of nowhere and approached.

Seeing that a minister was approaching, Qiao Nu and the two hurriedly said that they were going to fetch a basin of water to wash the king's face, and quickly retreated. But seeing Ning Yue, who was coming now, he arched his hand, "King, the weather is hot, it's better to rest under the shade of this tree, there is still an hour before you go on the road again." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Bian nodded, and the group walked under the big tree, and after a while, they saw two little maids bringing a basin of water, and they didn't know where they got it.

After washing his face, he suddenly felt a lot refreshed, and Zhou Bian looked at it privately, "Where is this, is this Cheng Gao?" ”

Ning Yue arched his hand and said, "Back to the king, the Wei army will rest in the mountains and forests southwest of Chenggao City, and Chenggao City is not far ahead." ”

"This is strange, this king remembers that this Chenggao City is in the hands of South Korea, why did he let the Wei army rest under the city, or Chenggao has been captured by the Wei army?"

"Back to the king, the Wei army only rested outside the city, and did not take the city, and the Chenggao city was small, presumably there were not many defenders in the city, so they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight." This time, it was Su Rui who answered.

Zhou Bian smiled slightly, "Zhongqing, it's better to accompany this king for a walk at will." ”

Ning Yue and the other three immediately followed the king's side, and more than a dozen guards were scattered around, and the group went directly to the east.

It turned out that although the royal family only had a total of three hundred people accompanying them, twenty or so carriages were definitely not enough, except for Ning Yue and other people with high status, and then the king's close maids and daily necessities could sit in the car, so they walked all the way under the scorching sun at the end of summer, and they were all sweaty.

Zhou Bian smiled and didn't care, and continued to walk forward, surrounded by the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, still standing one by one in armor, one team after another, faintly surrounding the remaining two hundred people in the middle. Sure enough, they are all the elites of the royal family, and none of them have any slackness.

Walking out further, you can see the Wei soldiers sitting in piles around, although they all sit crookedly, sitting in different postures, at first glance it looks chaotic, but in fact it is extremely regular, each pile is twelve people, the distance between each pile is about the same, and every twenty piles seem to be closer, obviously deliberately arranged.

Seeing the royal family approaching, those Wei soldiers did not point fingers, nor did they talk to each other, most of them closed their eyes after a few glances, obviously the generals Fan Yu met were not among them.

Zhou Bian couldn't help sighing, "It is said that the Wei army is the strongest army in the world, and this king will see it today and say nothing else, but looking at this discipline, it is worthy of praise." ”

As soon as the words fell, Fan Yu's unconvinced voice sounded beside him, "King, our four thousand Imperial Forest Army at the beginning is not bad, maybe even stronger." ”

When he heard this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Fan Yu, Fan Yu hurriedly lowered his head, but when Zhou Bian turned around, he saw a hint of strange color flashing in Su Rui's eyes.

Before he could continue, a tall Wei army general immediately ran in the distance, and as soon as the general approached, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Foreign Minister Wei Military Captain Baning, meet my king!" ”

"It turned out to be General Banin, and we met again." Smiled and raised his hands to help him up, Zhou Bian took a look, and sure enough, it was the young general he saw last year.

"The foreign ministers are ordered by my king to protect my king, I don't know what my king needs?"

"This king wants to go and see this Chenggao City."

"Back to the king, this Chenggao City is still in the hands of South Korea, it's better not to approach, but look down from the mountain five hundred steps ahead, and the scenery of Chenggao is in front of you."

Zhou Bian nodded, and the group followed.

It didn't take long to walk to the top of the hillside, look down, really magnificent, the mountains in the southwest direction have been extended to the foot, not far to the north can see the turbulent river, it seems that you can still hear the sound of the water waves, and between the mountain forest and the big river, there is a small loess city, although the city is only a mile square, but it is just stuck between the mountain forest and the big river, a bent river in the distance flows from the front of the city, this is clearly a ready-made pass, a ready-made moat, self-contained.

It's a pity that this city is still a little smaller, so it didn't jam this main road.

Zhou Bian shook his head, but out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see Su Rui on the side.

"General Su is a Korean, he should be familiar with this place, where is this place? You might as well talk to this king. ”

"No!" Su Rui continued after arching his hand.

"King, this Chenggao is the former Tiger Prison, this place is named the Tiger Prison because of King Zhou Mu's captivity of tigers, hundreds of years ago the King of Jin Mourning built the Tiger Prison Pass here, in order to persecute Zheng Guo, and later after South Korea got Xinzheng, the Tiger Prison Pass was demolished, only placed in Chenggaoyi."

Oh, it turns out that this is the Tiger Prison, where the Three Heroes fought against Lu Bu in the later generations, Zhou Bian couldn't help but take a few more looks, but unfortunately there is only a small earthen city now.

But he heard Ning Yue's voice ringing, "General Su only knows one of them, but I don't know the other, when Zhou Gongdan built Luoyang, he set up eight passes for Luoyang to deter the Quartet, among which Luoyang is east of this pass, and its fashion has not yet been King Mu, naturally it is not called Tiger Prison Pass, but called Turnsman Pass." ”

"Doctor Ning is talented, it's better to sigh to himself!" Su Rui shook his head and said. Even Na Baning also glanced at Ning Yue curiously.

Zhou Bian also knew at this time that this pass was the first to defend Luoyang, and he couldn't help but look down again, feeling a lot in his heart, Luoyang Eight Passes, let this king rebuild it.
