Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Show Begins
Li Chongmao left, no longer caring about Xuanyuan Chen's retention, and even Li Meier forgot to mention it, so he braved the cold wind and snow and rushed back to Li Zhuang overnight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xuanyuan Chen wanted to go to Antai City with Li Zhuang to go to the alliance, although the words were not explained, but the meaning was very clear, he wanted to pretend to be Li Zhuang's people, sneak into Antai City, and participate in the alliance conference called by the Great Qin thief.
As for why Xuanyuan Chen was going, Li Chongmao didn't know, even if he could guess a few points, he didn't dare to think deeply, this matter was too serious, I don't know what he could do.
So Li Chongmao rushed back to Li Zhuang at the first moment and reported to his father.
And like Li Chongmao, some people are also anxious, but unlike Li Chongmao, it is because Xuanyuan Chen proposed to go to Antai City together to go to the alliance, but because Xuanyuan Chen refused the invitation of the Great Qin thief.
In a sense, the anxious person had a lot of indissoluble ties with Xuanyuan Chen.
Both of them escaped from Pengcheng, and the heroes chose Jiannan Road as their foothold, and that person was the housekeeper Kang Zhuang who was wanted by the Pengcheng County Guard.
After Kang Zhuang stumbled upon Xuanyuan Chen's traces, he took the initiative to contact the Great Qin Thief, and used the hatred between Xuanyuan Chen and Nangong Qianyue as a bargaining chip, wanting to obtain a position that would satisfy him when he took refuge in the Great Qin Thief.
But his idea needs to be based on Xuanyuan Chen's promise to fight against Nangong Qianyue with the Great Qin Thief, if Xuanyuan Chen does not agree, the information provided by Kang Zhuang will become worthless.
Around the city of Qi County, one of the three major cities of Jiannan Road, there are dense horses rejected, ditches, and barriers, and the Great Qin thieves camped for dozens of miles, besieging Qi County to the point that it is impassable, just waiting for the food of the Longwu army in the city to run out, so as to win without a fight.
Outside the military tent of the Great Qin Thief, the festival is gorgeous, and there are many guards.
There were only two people in the spacious tent, and the one at the top was not very tall. But he was very stout, and his boxy face looked very loyal, like a simple country farmer, but there was a fierce air on his face.
This person is the head of the Great Qin thief, Zhao Xin, known as the King of Great Qin.
Zhao Xinzheng held his cheeks, listened to the explanation of the person next to him with a somewhat bored face, and waved his hand to interrupt: "Kangzhuang, didn't you say that the King of Beiliang would definitely agree to come to the alliance?" Not only did he not come now, but he almost let people shoot Deng Fei! ”
Kang Zhuang has lost a lot of weight these days, his fat body is obviously smaller, I don't know if it's too hard, or if it's too heavy, his temples have become a little gray, and he is wearing a new leather robe, and the spirit of serving as a housekeeper in Pengcheng County has disappeared, at this time he is just over forty years old, giving people the feeling of an old man.
But in the Great Qin Thief Army, no one dared to underestimate him, a newcomer.
Kang Zhuang joined the Great Qin Thieves for a short time, only about half a month, but with his keen sense of smell, he successfully detected a breakthrough operation of the Longwu Army of Qi County, and reported it to Zhao Xin, the king of Great Qin, in time.
Zhao Xin was cautious and adjusted the deployment of the siege in time, but as soon as he finished the deployment, the Long Wu Army really launched a large-scale breakthrough operation.
The Great Qin thieves responded properly, and after a night of fierce fighting, they forced the Longwu army back to Qi County.
Since then, Kang Zhuang's reputation among the Great Qin thieves has risen greatly, and he is very able to guess Zhao Xin's thoughts, and gradually won Zhao Xin's appreciation and entered the core class of the Great Qin thieves.
In fact, the reason why Kang Zhuang was able to infer from the prophet that the Longwu Army would break through was not how smart he was and how sharp his vision was, but that he knew that the commander of the Longwu Army, Nangong Qianyue, would return to Jiannan Dao from Pengcheng sooner or later and join the Longwu Army led by him.
Long Wujun knew that when Nangong Qianyue returned, he would definitely send troops to respond, so he would inevitably launch a military operation.
If you can break through, of course, it's the best, if you can't break through, you can also take the coach into the city.
Nangong Qianyue, whether out of duty or the orders of the imperial court, could not sit idly by and watch the Long Wu army alone, so even if Qi County was in danger, he would definitely choose to enter the city, so as to stabilize the hearts of the military and civilians in the city.
Kang Zhuang expected this, so he dared to make a bold guess, and when he informed Zhao Xin, he did not say that Long Wujun would meet Nangong Qianyue, but only mentioned that Long Wujun would go all out to break through, in order to show his unfathomable side as much as possible.
Until now, he only told Zhao Xin that Xuanyuan Chen and Nangong Qianyue had a grudge, but he didn't talk about the origin of the feud?
It's just that he miscalculated Xuanyuan Chen's reaction.
After receiving the invitation of the Great Qin thief, Xuanyuan Chen actually refused, which was too much for Kang Zhuang to think.
Xuanyuan Chen's refusal will not bring any benefits, but will only provoke the hostility of the Great Qin Thief, and if he agrees, he can use the Great Qin Thief to eradicate the threat of Nangong Qianyue, and he can also avenge the blood feud in Pengcheng Wanhualou.
Comparing the two, if it is Kang Zhuang himself, he will definitely accept the invitation of the Great Qin thief without hesitation.
But Xuanyuan Chen is not Kangzhuang, and Kangzhuang can't understand Xuanyuan Chen.
Some people live for fame and profit. And some people only live to be a real person, to be a person worthy of their hearts, worthy of heaven and earth!
Kang Zhuang heard Zhao Xin's question, and knew that if he couldn't give a satisfactory answer to the other party, his position in Zhao Xin's confidence would inevitably be affected, so he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and said after a moment of silence: "The subordinates thought that the King of Beiliang and Nangong Qianyue had a blood feud, and they would happily agree if they could get the support of the king, but they didn't expect that the king of Beiliang thought very highly of himself, and he didn't know the king's Wentao martial arts, so he would easily refuse."
Zhao Xin scratched the top of his head with one hand and said, "What do you mean is that the King of Beiliang looks down on me Lao Zhao, so he is reluctant to come to Antai City to join the alliance."
Kang Zhuang nodded and said, "That's right!" He blamed everything on Xuanyuan Chen's conceit, so that the responsibility for his misjudgment was much smaller.
Zhao Xin slapped the table hatefully, and glared angrily with his eyes: "What kind of bullshit King Beiliang, he really regards himself as a character, isn't there only eight hundred remnants of soldiers under his command?" A thick killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Wait for my old Zhao to solve the old puppet of Nangong Qianyue, and then turn back and level the Dragon King Village!"
Kang Zhuang said with a smile: "What the king said is very true, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die...... With the might of my Great Qin Army, who in the world can be defeated, if someone does not know how to lift, let him taste the strength of my Great Qin Army. ”
Zhao Xin smiled reservedly and said: "Kangzhuang, go down, I won't blame you for the matter of the King of Beiliang, you don't have to take it to heart, I will rely on you more in the future!"
Kang Zhuang's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "I am willing to drive for the king!" With that, he bowed and withdrew from the tent.
In the big tent, Zhao Xin watched Kang Zhuang leave, and when the tent cloth was lifted, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy color like a dark cloud.
At the same time, Kang Zhuang, who was not far from the big tent, suddenly stopped, he looked back at Zhao Xin's big tent, his eyes were cloudy, and a sneer faintly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
True or false, I am deceitful......
