Ling Yan smiled: "Don't believe it, what I said is true, and I will never deceive people...... I let you go, and it doesn't matter much, because I still have so many of your captives. Now I just want to know where you got your internal qi, whether it was passed on to you by Zuo Xiaoxiao, or did you cultivate it yourself? ”

The Yellow Turban soldier lowered his head, as if hesitating whether to tell Ling Yan or not.

Ling Yan suddenly felt a little annoyed: "Tell me, anyway, now that Colonel Zuo is gone, and the internal qi in your body has been completely lost, if I don't want to, you will never want to have any more internal qi...... Actually, my question doesn't mean much to fight with Zuo Xiao, I'm just curious. ”

The Yellow Turban soldier raised his head and said coldly, "I am the internal qi of my own cultivation. ”

"Oh?" Ling Yan raised his eyebrows, "How do you know that you can cultivate internal qi?" ”

The Yellow Turban soldier said coldly: "We were all selected by General Zuo, and then told us how to cultivate...... General Zuo treats us very well, and he will only be loyal to General Zuo in this life! ”

"Hehe," Ling Yan's curiosity was finally satisfied, and he also secretly admired Colonel Zuo in his heart for having such an ability, "Then you should be loyal to him...... Alright, let's go. ”

The Yellow Turban remained motionless.

Ling Yan looked at him, smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll let you go back to Juye City." ”

The Yellow Turban soldier still didn't seem to believe it.

Ling Yan lowered his head: "You can go back and tell Colonel Zuo all the situation here, and tell him by the way, I let you go, just to let him understand, don't make a wrong decision, before midnight, if he really refuses to surrender, I will kill all the Yellow Turban soldiers...... If he had surrendered earlier, I might have released his soldiers and 'healed' them earlier......" After saying that, he looked up at the Yellow Turban soldiers again, "Do you understand?" ”

The Yellow Turban soldier frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Ling Yan called a soldier from outside the tent and asked him to take this Yellow Turban soldier out, and asked him to tell Lu Gong that he was going to release this person.

After the Yellow Turban soldier left, Ling Yan thought about it again, and was still a little worried about those prisoners, so he went to inspect them again, and made sure that those people were guarded by his soldiers layer by layer, and he was a little relieved in his heart.

The rest of the time, he didn't do anything, just used the healing internal qi in the tent to regulate the internal injuries in his body—the wounds left by the battle with Colonel Zuo have not yet recovered; Moreover, the cultivation technique he used that time also consumed a large amount of internal qi. Therefore, Ling Yan's current body is weaker than before.

Time passed quickly, and it soon got dark.

From Juno Castle, there was no movement. Ling Yan was a little anxious, it stands to reason that the Yellow Turban Soldier had already arrived in Juye City, presumably Colonel Zuo had also seen him, could it be ...... Left: Changed his mind? Or did the Yellow Turban soldier not tell Colonel Zuo about his conditions?

Ling Yan was thinking about it in a mess, and he didn't even eat dinner.

There was a hustle and bustle outside the tent, the sound of pots and pans, laughter and scolding, one after another - the soldiers probably also knew that Juye City was just around the corner, so the tension of the day was eliminated at this moment, and as soon as the mood was relaxed, there were naturally more words.

Ling Yan was thinking about his thoughts in the tent, and when he heard the laughter outside the tent, he was immediately infected, so he simply didn't want to worry about those things, stood up and walked outside.

"General Yan, the meal has been prepared." The soldiers at the door saw Ling Yan walking out and immediately said.

Ling Yan waved his hand to show that he was not hungry, and then said to the soldier, "You can also go and eat, and come back after eating." ”

The soldier said yes and ran off to eat.

Ling Yan looked ahead: the bonfires burning everywhere lit up the entire camp, and the soldiers were eating hot meals in a circle, looking very unhappy.

"General Yan, why don't you eat?" Lu Gong walked over and asked Ling Yan.

Ling Yan smiled: "I'm not hungry." ”

Lu Gongdao: "General Yan, are you worried about Juye City?" ”

Ling Yan pouted: "If you are not annoyed, there is no other way but to wait for the news of Colonel Zuo." (.coM)”

Lu Gong persuaded: "General Yan, don't be in a hurry about this matter, if you think that thief general, you will definitely go out of the city and surrender." ”

Ling Yan smiled, nodded, and then pointed in the direction of the Zhaimen: "Those Yellow Turban soldiers, have you given them food?" ”

Lu Gong replied, "General Yan, please rest assured, you won't starve them." ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan turned around with a smile and wanted to walk back into the tent.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.

Originally, the sound of hooves was not too loud, and it was not easy to hear in this noisy camp, but all around it was the sound of talking and the collision of bowls, so the sound of horses' hooves, although not loud, seemed very different.

Therefore, the moment Ling Yan turned around, he still heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Ling Yan was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction outside the village, but he was too far away and couldn't see anything.

"General Lu, did you hear anything?" Ling Yan hurriedly asked.

Lu Gong was also startled when he saw Ling Yan's sudden move, and when he heard Ling Yan ask, he also listened carefully: "Hmm...... Hey? There seems to be the sound of horses' hooves. ”

Ling Yan still looked out of the village, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "Hmm...... Then I heard it right, there was really the sound of horses' hooves. ”

Lu Gong suddenly thought of something: "Ah! General Yan, could it be that Colonel Zuo sent someone? ”

Ling Yan desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart: "It's very possible!" ”

After a while, I saw two people riding two horses, galloping from a distance.

At this time, the soldiers in the camp also heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked outside the village.

The two horsemen soon came to the village.

Getting closer, Ling Yan could see the faces of the two people clearly—he recognized one of them, that person was one of Yang Feng's lieutenants, and the other person, but he hadn't seen it.

However, recognizing one of them, Ling Yan was also relieved - at least the stranger passed through the Qianzhai, maybe there was something important to report, so Yang Feng sent someone to escort him.

The two people came straight to Ling Yan, dismounted not far from Ling Yan, and ran to Ling Yan.

Lu Gong looked at the deputy general and asked, "Aren't you guarding the village in Qianzhai?" Why are you here? Who is he? As he spoke, Lu Gong stretched out his hand and pointed at the stranger.

The lieutenant general clasped his fists at Ling Yan: "General Yan, General Lu." General Yang sent the last general to escort this person to General Yan. ”

"Well, you go back." Ling Yan nodded at the lieutenant general, and then looked at the stranger - the man looked like he was less than thirty years old, he looked very ordinary, his expression looked a little nervous, his eyes were also looking at Ling Yan, his slightly immature face was red at this time, and his chest fell violently together, probably caused by running all the way.

The lieutenant said yes, took his leave, and rode away.

"You...... Are you General Yan? The man gasped and looked at Ling Yan as if he didn't quite believe it.

Ling Yan smiled and nodded: "Come, what's the matter, let's talk about it when we enter the account." ”

The man looked at Ling Yan again, and then nodded.

Ling Yan led the man into the tent, and after giving up his seat, Ling Yan asked the soldier to bring a bowl of water and handed it to the man.

"Thank you......" The man looked a little restrained, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

At this time, Ling Yan smiled and asked the man, "Excuse me, ...... are you?"

When the man heard Ling Yan's question, he quickly stood up again, and replied a little nervously, "General Hui...... I specially cooked for General Zuo's soldiers, and General Zuo sent me to meet the general......"

When Ling Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "...... you Are you Liu Shi's son? ”

The man hurriedly replied, "Yes! Be! ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly stood up and walked quickly in front of the man, and hugged a fist in a proper manner: "Great, I was about to enter Juye City and go to see you!" I didn't expect Colonel Zuo to send you to see me! ”

The man hurriedly hugged his fist at Ling Yan, but he didn't know what to say: "General...... You ......"

Ling Yan laughed: "Don't be afraid, I just want to thank you father and son." I can't thank you enough for risking your lives to help me! You have most of the credit for conquering Juye Castle! ”

The man quickly knelt down: "The general doesn't have to thank me!" The general treated my father very well, and that's what we should do! ”

"Hurry up!" Ling Yan hurriedly helped the man up.

Then the man said, "When my father returned to the city, he found me, told me everything, and told me how to mix the medicine in the vial into my meal...... Actually, it's not that hard, I ...... I just did what my father told me......"

Ling Yan smiled: "This is already meritorious!" You don't know, you're doing me this favor, but it's very important! Otherwise, I wouldn't have defeated Colonel Zuo so easily! ”

The man smiled innocently, and then asked Ling Yan with a little curiosity, "General Yan...... What is the medicine in that bottle? How powerful is it? ”

Ling Yan smiled: "It's really powerful, anyway, as long as the soldiers of Colonel Zuo take that medicine, they won't be able to fight, do you say it's powerful?" Hehe......"

The man's eyes widened, and after a moment, he muttered, "That...... That's really amazing......"

"Otherwise, how did you do me a great favor!" Ling Yan smiled and patted the man's shoulder, "Don't worry, when I enter Juye City, I will repay you well!" ”

The man hurriedly said: "The general is so good to my father, I should do something!" It would be great if the general could attack and defeat General Zuo and come to Juye Castle to protect us people! ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Don't worry! I promise you! ”

The man was very happy, and suddenly remembered what was going on, so he hurriedly said, "By the way, General Yan, General Zuo sent me to deliver a letter to the general." ”

Ling Yanda was excited: "Hmm! Show me! ”

The man took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Ling Yan.

Ling Yan couldn't wait to open the envelope, open the letter and read it.

The letter reads:

To General Yan: The school is grateful for the general's grace in withdrawing the army, and also thanks to the soldiers who did not kill the school's henchmen. If the general insisted on going his own way and forced himself into the city, he would not be able to defend the school, but he would never surrender to the general in the end, and only hoped that dying on the battlefield was the only choice; General Xing understands the righteousness and gives the school another chance; The school was grateful for the general's kindness, and after repeated consideration, he thought that the general's divine army had descended from the sky, and the situation was no longer able to defend Juye, and if the school resisted again, it would be useless, so he decided to surrender to the general, and also dedicated Juye Castle and the general, so he sent the person in charge of making food to meet the general with the school's handwritten letter, in order to show his sincerity. The general can immediately lead the army of Sanzhai into the city, and the school will open the door to wait for the driver.

After reading the letter, Ling Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief—the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. However, while he was extremely excited, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: This Zuo Colonel is really capable of literature and martial arts! This letter is enough to illustrate the resourcefulness of Colonel Zuo!

Ling Yan read the contents of the letter again - this letter seemed to be just Colonel Zuo's "surrender letter", but it said a lot: although it was a "surrender letter", the letter also gave Ling Yan a "dismount" at the beginning: it seemed that he was not afraid of Ling Yan directly attacking the city; then portrayed himself as an unyielding person, and decided to surrender only after being moved by Ling Yan; Then, in order to show his determination to surrender, he sent a man who cooked for them to deliver a letter to prove that his surrender was not a sham or a trap.

"Colonel Zuo is really quite scheming! Even a letter is so well-intentioned! Ling Yan sighed in his heart.

However, since Colonel Zuo was willing to surrender, Ling Yan was very happy, and after reading the letter, Ling Yan smiled and said to Liu Shi's son, "Hehe...... On the letter from Colonel Zuo, he said that he was going to surrender. ”

The man looked at it and was very happy: "Is that really the case? That's great. ”

Ling Yan was happier than the man - all that man thought was that after Ling Yan occupied the city, he would be good to the people; But what Ling Yan thought more about was that as long as Colonel Zuo surrendered, he would not only capture Juye City, but also save Yu Gengen, and more importantly, he had one more general under his account, and he was a brave and resourceful general! If you attack elsewhere in the future, the chances of victory will be greater!

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't wait to fly to Juye City immediately, and after he chatted with that person again, he said, "Since Colonel Zuo has surrendered, then I will go to Juye City immediately, you can go with me...... Oh, by the way, you see, I still don't know your name. ”

The man said humbly: "The grass people's surname is Liu Minghui. ”

Ling Yan also smiled and introduced himself: "Oh, my name is Ling Yan, and I will ...... in the future Let's call me General Yan. Ling Yan originally wanted to say, "Just call me Xiao Yan in the future", but after thinking about it, he had told Liu Shi about it before, and remembered that he scared Liu Shi like that at that time, so Ling Yan changed his words.

"Yes......" Liu Hui agreed, but his expression was a little confused, probably not understanding why Ling Yan would say such a superfluous sentence - in their opinion, it was natural to call officers and soldiers or generals "adults" or "generals"; And they don't dare to imagine the consequences of breaking the rules.

Ling Yan walked to the tent with a smile and asked the soldiers to call Kuai Liang, Zuo Ci and Wen Ping.

After a while, Kuai Liang and the other three came to Ling Yan's tent.

Ling Yan first introduced Liu Hui to Kuai Liang and the others, and when Kuai Liang and the others learned that the person in front of them was the one who poisoned the Zuo Xiaojun on behalf of Ling Yan, they thanked Liu Hui one after another. Liu Hui was flattered and hurriedly returned the gift, looking a little in a hurry, but her simplicity was a little cute.

After that, Ling Yan read Colonel Zuo's letter to Kuai Liang and the others.

After reading the letter, Kuai Liang said to Ling Yan: "General Yan really expected it well, the thief general really surrendered!" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Colonel Zuo still has a trace of humanity, but he is really good to his soldiers. ”

After reading the letter, Zuo Ci handed it to Wen Ping, and said to Ling Yan: "If he doesn't surrender, there is no way out." ”

"Actually, if Colonel Zuo takes the opportunity to escape, I can't do anything," Ling Yan said with a smile, "Chengchi has gotten it, but such a Colonel Zuo, if you encounter it in the future, it will still be a trouble." ”

Kuai Liang and Zuo Ci nodded.

"This thief! It is surrender, how to write so arrogantly! After reading the letter, Wen Ping was very angry, and shook the letter towards Ling Yan and the others, "Look at what he said in the letter, it seems that if he doesn't surrender, we won't be able to capture the city!" ”

Ling Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, anyway, Colonel Zuo has already surrendered, he wants to save face, I will save some face for him, anyway, it won't matter." After speaking, he said to everyone again, "Since Colonel Zuo has surrendered, I think we should set off immediately and enter Juye City, I'm afraid that it will take a long time and it will be easy to change." ”

Kuai Liang and the others all agreed with Ling Yan's idea.

Ling Yan said again: "I think so, I will go to Juye City with all of you quickly, and the soldiers and horses will arrive later, so that there will be no delay." ”

Wen Ping said: "General Yan, otherwise the last general will go to find out his truth, if Colonel Zuo is cheating, it can also be resolved." ”

Ling Yan confidently stretched out his hand in front of Wen Ping: "No, I don't think Colonel Zuo is lying to me, let's go together." Otherwise, it would not be good to make him suspicious, thinking that we were still doubting his sincerity. ”

Kuai Liang also said: "I think the thief general just wants to bully General Yan, and he has no soldiers and no generals, and there is nothing to do." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Well, then it's decided...... National teacher, General Wen, you go with me first, General Kuai, you and General Zhang Yi will be in the camp first, wait for the soldiers to finish eating, and then lead the troops to follow...... Oh, by the way, remember to tell General Deng, and wait for him to come to the rendezvous, and then we will go together. ”

"Yes." A few people agreed.

Zuo Ci thought for a while and asked Ling Yan, "General Yan, what about General Yu and General Zhang Min?" ”

Ling Yan had already thought about it: "I want the two of them to go with us, and after meeting Colonel Zuo, I immediately told him about General Yu, and I think he will agree...... As long as he agrees, he also asks the national teacher to immediately heal General Yu's wounds. ”

"Hmm." Zuo Ci agreed.

After everything was decided, Ling Yan immediately got on his horse and set off, with Zuo Ci, Wen Ping, Lu Gong and You Heng accompanying him, and sent four more soldiers to escort Yu Yigen and Zhang Min, and Liu Hui was responsible for taking care of them.

Soon, they came to Qianzhai, and after Ling Yan told Yang Feng about the plan of action, he went towards Juye City without stopping.

The mountain and forest paths at night were not easy to walk, but fortunately they rode fast horses and did not drag them down—Yu Yigen and Zhang Min each rode two horses, driven by soldiers, and they were not slow.
