Gangneung City Post House, sub-hour, in the dead of night.

The army entered the city and came straight to the inn.

More than four commanding soldiers, half riding and half stepping, poured into the streets and alleys like a torrent. The rumbling footsteps crushed the dust on the long street and woke up countless sleeping people. At this moment, Jin Ge Iron Horse fell into a dream.

The inn is brightly lit and the four doors are closed. In Gangneung City, which is already dark on all sides, this place of light is extremely lonely and extremely weak.

The army surrounded the inn.

During the whole process, no one went out of the post house, and no inquiries came out. It is like a fortress on the plains, very calm, but also like an isolated reef in the waves, very lonely.

Faced with the siege of 2,000 soldiers, the post house actually gave birth to a sense of staying out of the matter.

This feeling made Wu Deming very unpleasant, and he felt that he was being neglected.

As an ordinary one of the more than ten commanders of the Jiangling Army, Wu Deming has always been a neglected existence. In this place where the Gao clan controls important positions, Wu Deming, who is now over forty years old, does not have half of the capital worth relying on.

But he thinks so highly of himself that he can't stand being ignored all the time. So when Wu Guo's secret envoy came to the door, in the face of lucrative conditions, Wu Deming did not hesitate too much, and decided to throw himself into Wu Guo.

His family had been taken to Jinling by Wu's secret envoy, and as long as he finished today's business, he could go to Jinling immediately. Since then, glory and wealth, in front of the illustrious, no problem. This is his opportunity, and Wu Deming doesn't think he has a reason not to grasp it.

Wu Deming drove his horse to the door of the post house, waited for a long time, and did not see anyone come out to check the situation, he was quite surprised, but also very angry, he turned around and coldly ordered the guards: "Call the door!" ”

The guards went and knocked on the door.

Just when Wu Deming was about to lose his patience, the door slowly opened, and a Qin Wangfu armor came out, he didn't look at the big battle outside the door, tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked careless, "You guys come here late at night, what do you have to say?" ”

The attitude of the Qin Wang Jiashi made Wu Deming's heart even more blocked, could it be that these people of his own were fighting in such a big array, and suddenly the killing was coming, would they come to greet the post house, why didn't the other party look nervous at all, as if all of this had nothing to do with him?

Wu Deming's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The king of Nanping has an order, please invite the king of Qin to meet in the palace." ”

"Oh?" The armor of King Qin's Mansion didn't raise his eyes, "His Royal Highness King Qin has already gone to bed, please wait for tomorrow if you have something." After saying that, he turned around and entered the door without delay, and was about to close the door with his backhand.

"Wait!" Wu Deming let out a low roar, and after the other party slowly stopped and turned around, he said: "The matter is very urgent, the king of Nanping has an order, please be sure to go immediately." "Otherwise, if something happens, you will bear the consequences!" ”

Qin Wang Jiashi was finally willing to take a straight look at Wu Deming, this small action finally made Wu Deming feel better, thinking that if you have a kind, dare to ignore the general all the time? But King Qin's next words made Wu Deming furious.

The armor looked at Wu Deming and asked seriously, "What are you?" ”

The sergeant's voice was not loud, and his tone did not fluctuate, the only characteristic was that he was indeed asking very seriously.

"What did you say?!" Wu Deming hated him so much that he almost drew his sword against him. But he hasn't seen Li Congjing yet, he can't show his flaws in advance, otherwise he won't even be able to see Li Congjing, let alone complete the task assigned by Wu Guo, so he finally suppressed the urge to be angry, Wu Deming stared at the armor in front of him fiercely, and the warning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

The armor soldier didn't mean to give the commander the slightest face, "I said, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to be wild in front of King Qin?" ”

Wu Deming's lips twitched, and the murderous aura in his eyes was awe-inspiring.

Wu Deming couldn't bear it anymore, but the armor didn't see it at all, and sneered at him: "What, you want to kill me?" He craned his neck, "Here, cut here!" ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that Wu Deming didn't move, the armor retracted his neck, but his expression was even more contemptuous, "If you don't dare to do it, take your people away, don't be embarrassed here, do you think this is a place where you can sing a big show?" ”

After saying this, the armor priest turned and entered the door.

Wu Deming drew his knife.

"Slow down!"

Liang Zhen, who could no longer stay out of the matter, walked out of the military formation, he stopped Wu Deming's behavior, walked to the door, and bowed to the armor, "It is said that the King of Qin has a good way and has a lot of talents under his command, but I never thought that an ordinary armor soldier could have such courage and wisdom, the old man admires!" ”

"What do you have to say?" The armor soldier glanced Liang Zhen up and down.

"Lang Jun actually knows the identity of the old man?" Liang Zhen was stunned at first, and then he was not surprised, he said to the Jiashi Zhengse: "King Qin is a clear-eyed person, when he knows the current situation, the old man is rude, and dares to ask King Qin to leave Jiangling." ”

"Do you want to rebel?" The sergeant's voice was cold.

said so bluntly, Liang Zhen's face could no longer remain calm, since the other party dared to pierce the window paper, he would no longer hide it, "If King Qin leaves, you and I will not hurt each other, it is the best situation." If King Qin doesn't leave at this time, it will only be a murder, and it will be of no benefit to each other. ”

There is a big difference between letting Li Congjing know how to leave by himself, and killing and injuring King Qin's subordinates and forcibly expelling Li Congjing from the country.

In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Liang Zhen continued: "The King of Qin should know that since the King of Nanping has dared to act like this, it means that the King of Qin has failed in this trip. The trapped beast is still fighting, and there is no benefit, and he is in danger, not the act of a wise man, and he has no eyes for swords and guns, and he does not dare to ensure that the king of Qin is unscathed. ”

"Good!" The sergeant did not return to the door.

The door slammed shut.

Liang Zhen faced the cold and hard door, and his face was extremely ugly.

He didn't expect that Li Congjing would act like this when he was clearly defeated, which was no different from a child's anger.

And the frustration of failing to convince the other party also made Liang Zhen ashamed.

And from beginning to end, not to mention Li Congjing, the king of Qin, even Mo Li and the others, Liang Zhen didn't see it, and he just talked to an ordinary armor soldier the whole time, which made him feel very humiliated.

This shows that the other party didn't take him seriously at all!

Liang Zhen gritted his teeth, turned around and ordered Wu Deming, "Attack!" ”

Wu Deming's heart blossomed, this was a situation he couldn't ask for, the two were fighting, he had absolute certainty, he could arrange manpower in the chaos and put Li Congjing to death!

Pulling out the long knife, Wu Deming's anger was swept away, replaced by pride, and he shouted: "Wait for the order, attack immediately"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was no more follow-up.

Because inside the post house, there has been a rain of arrows spilled out!

A sharp arrow suddenly penetrated Wu Deming's throat. He shook on his horse's back, unable to fall!

Liang Zhen was shot in the arm, screamed in panic, and crawled back into the military formation.

Scuffle, one touch!

Nanping Palace, three quarters.

"Report! Your Highness, the war at the post house has broken out! ”

The messenger rushed into the house and reported to Gao Jixing.

Gao Jixing, who was pacing back and forth in the study, seemed restless, and was speechless in shock after hearing this. After a long while, he roared: "Didn't this king send Sikong to persuade Li Congjing to take the initiative to leave Jiangling?!" How could he be so reckless! ”

The messenger reported back: "Your Highness, Sikong was shot in the right arm by a stray arrow, and he was very frightened, and the commander killed Wu Deming in battle, and died under the cold arrow!" Sikong let go back to His Royal Highness, Li Congjing made up his mind that he didn't want to take the initiative to leave, he couldn't do anything, he could only subdue him first, and then forcibly send him out of Jingzhou! ”

Gao Jixing's pacing back and forth was faster, and he kept hitting back and forth with both hands, "In a scuffle, the sword and gun have no eyes, how can we ensure that Li Congjing is not injured?" If he is injured, this guy will definitely take revenge in the future, won't I, Jingnan, be in a difficult situation? ”

After hesitating for a long time, Gao Jixing finally made up his mind, "No, this king has to go to the post house in person to persuade Li Congjing to surrender and let him rest and resist!" ”

The messenger was shocked: "Your Highness, the King of Qin's guards are strong, and they defend themselves according to the post house, the battle is fierce, Your Highness must not go to danger in person!" ”

"Shut up! You know what! Gao Jixing roared angrily, "It's all your rice buckets, making the situation the way it is now, you are roasting this king on the fire!" A group of profit-hungry things, thinking about promotion and making a fortune, no one who really worries about this king, no one! ”

After that, he didn't care about changing his clothes, so he walked outside the house, "No matter what, we must ensure that Li Congjing is not injured, otherwise Jingnan is in danger, in danger!" ”

Gao Jixing was very anxious, but before he could walk out of the palace, another messenger entered the door.

"Your Highness, the Junzidu stationed outside the city is storming the east gate!"

Gao Jixing's footsteps flickered, and he almost fell, he forcibly stabilized his mind, grabbed the messenger and shouted: "Didn't this king give an order a long time ago, and let Du Yuhou take people and horses to see the Junzidu military camp?" Why did you let the gentlemen go out of the camp! ”

The messenger panicked, and hurriedly said: "When Du Yuhou arrived at the camp of Junzidu, he found that Junzi had not known when he had been assembled, and before Du Yuhou was arrayed, Junzi Du rushed out, and he couldn't stop Du Yuhou's men and horses at all, and he was defeated by a blow, and Junzi Du went all the way to the east city gate, and without saying a word, he suddenly began to attack the city!" ”

Gao Jixing let go of the messenger, his face was pale, and his eyes were distracted.

What does it mean for gentlemen to attack the city, how can Gao Jixing not know?

Some of the close ministers of the palace rushed to hear the movement, and after finding out the situation, they said worriedly: "Your Highness, there was a scuffle on the dock outside the city before, and the two gangs of people had no less than a hundred boats, and it was difficult to solve the problem. ”

"What if it is, what if it is?" When Gao Jixing saw this close minister, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and he hurriedly asked questions.

The close minister sighed, "Your Highness's communication with Yang Wu, since it has been noticed by King Qin, you can no longer be at peace with the imperial court, and the king will definitely come to attack." At present, His Royal Highness can only unite with Yang Wu to fight against the imperial court together. ”

Gao Jixing nodded subconsciously, "Yes, yes, unite Yang Wu!" ”

The minister said: "Your Highness, the situation is out of control now, how to deal with King Qin, and how to deal with it in the future, Your Highness can no longer be at both ends of the rat, it is time to discuss with Xu Xiang." ”

Gao Jixing finally came back to his senses, and after thinking about it carefully, it is true that he and Li Congjing have torn their faces now, and they can only advance and retreat with Xu Zhihe.

"Prepare the horse, this king is going to see Xu Xiang!" Xu Zhihe has always refused to enter the city, Gao Jixing expected to invite him to come at this time, but he may not come, and the situation is urgent, so he can't hold a shelf at this time, so he has to leave

In a mansion separated from the Nanping Palace, the lights are faint, and there is almost no movement, which looks no different from ordinary people.

No one knew that before Wu Deming led the army to arrive at the post house, Li Congjing took Mo Li, Sang Weihan, Tao Yaoyao and others to move here first.

At the next two moments, staring at the eyes of the Nanping Palace, he sent a letter and newspaper.

"Gao Jixing is out of the house!"

Li Congjing, who was finishing supper, got up when he heard the words, and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, go with Gu and go to meet Xu Zhihe with Gao Jixing." ”
