With the crisp cracking sound of ear cups, the hall outside suddenly became noisy, followed by the sound of swords clashing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhen Rong also drew his sword in his hand at this time, and laughed loudly: "Haha! Xue Li, I was still hesitating to keep you alive for a few more days, but you made a decision for me. Hear the fight outside? My warriors are about to come in. ”

However, Xue Li was not as panicked as Zhenrong thought, but still drank slowly and methodically.

After taking another sip, Xue Li said slowly: "It's the best, I don't feel guilty anymore." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhen Rong frowned.

"The fight outside seems to be very fierce!"

"So what?"

"I just don't know who has the upper hand. Coincidentally, I, like you, agreed to smash the cup! ”

"Ahh Zhen Rong was taken aback, this was completely beyond his expectations, when did this Xue Li become so shrewd?

But at this time, Zhen Rong couldn't care about thinking about that, this was Xue Li's territory, if he also arranged an ambush, how could his dozen soldiers have the upper hand? For the sake of today's plan, only by killing Xue Li first could he control the situation, so he shouted loudly and stabbed Xue Li with his own swords.

In the face of the twin swords that stabbed at him, Xue Li was not afraid.

He threw the wine ear cup in his hand as a hidden weapon at Zhen Rong, and then quickly pulled out a long sword from his side, and when Zhen Rong covered the ear cup, he personally solved it with a sword.

Zhen Rong was shocked again, Xue Li's swordsmanship was far more superb than he imagined, but at this moment he had no way out, so he had to bite the bullet and go forward with his sword again.

However, after only two combinations, the tip of Xue Li's sword was pressed against Zhen Rong's throat.

"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother, we have no grievances in the past, and no enemies in the near future, will you let me go this time? I would like to give you all my savings. Sensing the imminent approach of death, he was finally frightened and begged for mercy.

"If I were planted in your hands this time, would you let me go?" Xue Li sneered.

"Yes, of course I didn't want to harm your life, I just wanted to borrow Pengcheng's soldiers and horses to recapture Xiapi."

"Why do you need to agree on a code to borrow soldiers? Do you believe this by yourself? ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Rong squeezed out a tear.

However, Xue Li didn't bother to dwell on it any longer, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of the sword drilled into Zhen Rong's throat like a spirit snake, and Ji Rong's expression froze.

Xue Li put away his long sword and inserted it back into the scabbard very indifferently. At this time, the sound of fighting outside gradually subsided, and two people came in.

"Is it all settled?" Xue Li asked first.

"Don't worry, general, it's just a dozen little minions, all of them have been solved." One of them replied.

Xue Li nodded and said, "Okay!" I also slaughtered Zhenrong, and we packed up and left. ”

"The general killed Zhenrong, there will be no problem, right?" Another youngster asked.

"What's the problem, is it possible to keep him and let my future lord do it himself?"

"This-" The young general also realized that something was wrong, and asked with a little embarrassment: "The general really wants to serve Jiujiang Liu Taishou?" ”

Xue Li said: "Of course, Tao Qian can't tolerate me, if I still miss this position of Peng Chengxiang, I will be harmed by him sooner or later." But I don't force you all to follow me. ”

"Whatever the general says, the subordinates will ask, and of course the subordinates will follow the general."

"Me too, I'll go wherever the general goes."

"Okay, Zike will ask Mr. Yan again to see if he is willing to join us. Gong Liu put on the head of Zhenrong, and then gathered all the brothers, and we set off for Xiapi on the fifth watch tomorrow. Xue Li commanded.

******

Xiapi is a princely kingdom, in the princely kingdom, because the princes have no political power to govern the people, only economic food privileges, so the power in the kingdom is in the hands of the prime minister, who is equivalent to the general county taishou.

The last Xiapi King had already died six years ago, and the Xiapi Kingdom actually no longer existed, but due to the turmoil in the imperial court, the feudal state was not canceled, and everything in the Xiapi Wangfu was also controlled by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The country of Xiapi has seventeen cities under its jurisdiction, and the money and grain accumulated by Xiapi must be very large.

Therefore, although Liu Miao found hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in the treasury of Xiapi City, he was still not satisfied. He believed that with the belongings of a prince and king, even if he squandered it for a few years, there would not be only so much left.

In the past few days, Liu Miao instructed Zhou Tai to pack all the stored grain, and at the same time sent people around to find out the whereabouts of the money and grain in the Pi Wangfu.

In the end, the results of the investigation drew his eyes back to the Futu Temple.

Since that day Zhenrong escaped, his belonging believer army retreated to the Futu Temple to defend it, Liu Miao and Hua Mulan gave up after a few fruitless raids, and could only send troops to besiege the Futu Temple.

Liu Miao didn't know that Zhen Rong had escaped, and thought that he was also trapped in the Futu Temple. Therefore, Liu Miao planned to temporarily trap the Futu Temple until all the money and grain in Xiapi were transported to Shouchun. And now that he knows that most of Xiapi's money and food may have been secretly hidden in the Futu Temple by Zhenrong, he must change his mind.

Liu Miao came to Liu Ji to discuss, how to capture the Futu Temple, and discussed for a long time, except to wait for the large army led by Zhang Liao to arrive and attack with superior forces.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, a Jinyi guard suddenly came to report that more than a thousand soldiers and horses were coming from the direction of Pengcheng.

Liu Miao hurriedly ordered Zhou Tai to defend the city, and he personally took a thousand Xuanjia troops and Liu Ji to check.

Finally intercepted the soldiers and horses twenty miles west of the city, and saw the "Xue" flag fluttering on the opposite side, Liu Miao couldn't help but move slightly in his heart.

"Berwyn, have you heard of the more famous person surnamed Xue?"

"If what I expected is right, it should be the county soldiers of Pengcheng, and Pengcheng's prime minister will be called Xue Li."

"Xue Li?" Liu Miao silently read this name, will it be the person he is looking forward to?

"May I ask the soldiers and horses of Jiujiang Liu Fujun ahead?" A loud inquiry interrupted Liu Miao's thoughts.

Liu Miao followed the sound and saw that outside the arrow in front of him, there was a horse standing, and the horse was a young general.

"I am Jiujiang Taishou Liu Miao." Liu Miao took a few steps forward.

"When the general of my family learned that Liu Fujun was here, he specially ordered him to send a gift and asked Liu Fujun to accept it!"

"Who is your general?"

"After Liu Fujun sees the gift, if he is satisfied, my general will meet with Fujun!"

Liu Miao saw that the other party avoided answering, so he had to order Yan Yi to go up to receive the gift.

After a while, the gift was brought back by Yan Yi, and it was a wooden box.

Liu Miao ordered Yan to carefully open the wooden box, revealing what was inside—it turned out to be a human head.

"Lord, this?" Liu Ji and the others didn't know each other, thinking that they were related to Liu Miao, and they all looked at Liu Miao with inquiring eyes.

Liu Miao didn't actually know him, but he had a system, and he used the probing function to take a look and found that this was actually Zhenrong's head.

He was very puzzled, wasn't Zhenrong in the Futu Temple? How did he be killed and his head given to himself? He told Liu Ji that this was the matter of the Rong head, and Liu Ji was also very confused.

It seems that the answer is on the person who came from the other side, so Liu Miao said: "I am very satisfied with the gift, please come out and see your general!" ”

After speaking, Liu Miao only took Yan Yi and rode a horse between the two formations.
