Wang Huaqiang's head "boomed" and fell into a state of confusion, which was inconsistent with the original agreement, how could he become a common man again? And An Sui's family and An Suiyu's brothers and sisters also looked at them together, and seemed to be slightly familiar with the name Wang Huaqiang.

Wang Huaqiang didn't care about the presence of the An brothers and sisters at this time, shook his head, and asked in a deep voice: "General Changsun, what do you mean by this, spare my life, and let me be a citizen again?" ”

A smug smile flashed on Changsun Sheng's face: "Yes, that's what Gao Servant Shot means, Wang Huaqiang, you will be called this name in the future, and from now on, your identity is the people outside Daxing City." ”

Wang Huaqiang almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, what about the good five-grade official? What about the reward? Even his original Jiupin School Shulang is gone, he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, and he was laid off and re-employed, no, there must be some misunderstanding in the middle, it must be Changsun Sheng who disgusted himself, I must have to find Gao Servant to ask clearly!

Wang Huaqiang shouted: "No, I am the general in the Xiaoguo Military Palace, I have an official body, you can't just erase my official position, I don't accept it, I don't believe it, I want to see Gao Servant and ask me face to face!"

An Suijia said sourly on the side: "Brother Wei Chi, oh, no, Brother Wang, congratulations on surviving the catastrophe this time, just now you persuaded me to save my life is the first thing, why am I not calm at this time." We are guilty of treason, and we still think about that official when our lives are saved? Isn't that a little too much. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart was in turmoil, his usual calm and composure had already flown out of the sky, he couldn't accept this fact, he was born and died in exchange for this result: "What do you know, shut up!" Changsun Sheng, I want to see Gao Servant, you let me see him now!"

Eldest Sun Sheng sighed: "Wang Huaqiang, don't be so impulsive, do you think Gao Servant will come to this place to see you?" But what do you mean, I can convey to him the old man, you can save a life today, I think it's completely worth celebrating, why don't you hurry up and thank the emperor first? ”

Wang Huaqiang gradually woke up from the uncontrollable anger just now, Changsun Sheng's eyes were gloomy when he stared at him, and An Sui's family and An Suiyu's brothers and sisters looked at him with their eyes full of shock and puzzlement, he suddenly realized that if he continued to make trouble, the whole plan might collapse, no matter what, Gao Xi could not come to this prison, only wait for himself to go out first, and then find a chance to ask Gao Xi for clarification.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth, respectfully kowtowed a few times on the ground, and said: "Sinner Wei Chiqin, thank you for my emperor's leniency, I will definitely change my mind in the future and be a new person in the identity of Wang Huaqiang." ”

Changsun Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Huaqiang, Gao Servant also asked me to bring a message, saying that you are still waiting for the guilty body, if you want to make a name for yourself, you have to go to the south, a few days ago, Jiangnan reported urgently, the anti-thieves in the old land in the south have raised troops, trapped our state capital, killed my officials, Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, has already led the soldiers to go to the conquest, if you want to make meritorious service and win the office, you should quickly set off to serve in the army of the Duke of Yue, and you won't be able to catch up if it's too late." ”

When Changsun Sheng said this, he took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his bosom and handed it to Wang Huaqiang: "Gao Servant Shot said, you should not appear more in this Daxing City now, as for the matter of killing the head, Gao Servant Shot has already arranged, and will use a death row prisoner to replace you on the road, don't worry, take this letter, go out of the prison door, and go directly to Yangzhou to report." ”

Wang Huaqiang turned his head to look at the An brothers and sisters who were looking at him with envy on the side, and asked, "General Changsun, may I ask if these two can also be extrajudicial and spare their lives?" ”

Changsun Sheng's eyes suddenly became fierce: "Wang Huaqiang, don't forget your identity, just take care of yourself, you don't need to worry about the life and death of others, Gao Servant and I both know that you have a good relationship with these two Turks, and you will consider opening up the net, but this has nothing to do with you, take the letter and leave quickly, this time there are no fewer people who want to go to Nanchen to grab military merits than the last time in the southern expedition, and I am afraid that there will be no place for letters if it is late." ”

Wang Huaqiang had nothing to say, bowed his hand, and went directly out of the iron gate, after Changsun Sheng waited for Wang Huaqiang's footsteps to disappear in the distance, he suddenly smiled at the An brothers and sisters: "An Tutunfa, now we can discuss the question of how much your two lives are worth." ”

Wang Huaqiang walked out of the prison door, only to find that the sun was empty, and he was locked up in that dark and damp room for a few days, which made him a little uncomfortable with the winter sun. He hadn't fully reacted from that huge blow yet, and he was also a little worried about the ending of the An brothers and sisters, but listening to Changsun Sheng's tone, it shouldn't be enough to kill them.

Wang Huaqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, there is still time to worry about others at this time, let's think about how to spend tomorrow first, before going to the south, he decided to go back to Bliss Villa first, and then go home, since the southern expedition, he has not returned to Xinfeng's hometown for more than a year, and he doesn't know what his father's situation is now.

Wang Huaqiang was about to walk towards the gate of the prison of the Duguan Yamen, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him calling him: "Wang Dudu, Wang Dudu." Wang Huaqiang turned his head to look, but found that the person who came was Mai Tiecane.

Mai Tie Staff changed into a beautiful and clean military uniform, led two horses, and stood behind him, his previously unkempt beard had been carefully repaired and cleaned, and the black face was smiling and waving at him.

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, he hadn't seen Mai Tiecane since he came back from the Turks last time, and he had mentioned his merits to Gao Xi, looking at his dress as an officer, he should have earned a military position.

Wang Huaqiang walked to the wheat iron rod and patted him on the shoulder happily: "The iron rod, it's a good mix, it's much stronger than me." ”

Mai Tiezhu laughed: "The little one can have today, isn't it thanks to the blessing of the royal governor, last time I went to the Turks with you, and after I came back, General Changsun promoted me to the commander of the tent, one level younger than your last official, and I can bring two hundred brothers." ”

Wang Huaqiang felt sad in his heart: "Now that you are a military master, but I have become a common man, this time I joined the army in the south, I am afraid that I will have to start from a small soldier, and then maybe I will have to be a big soldier under you." ”

Mai Tiezhu was slightly stunned: "No, don't you already have an official body, and you joined the army last time, just now I saw you come out of this prison, did you commit a crime later?" ”

Wang Huaqiang resisted his strong urge to find someone to complain, and just sighed softly: "Don't mention it, the passing years are not good, this time I have to make meritorious contributions." Iron rod, are you going to fight in the south too? By the way, why did you lead an extra horse? Wang Huaqiang suddenly felt that the appearance of Mai Tiezhuan here was not a coincidence.

Mai Tiezhu smiled: "Because a noble person wants you to go over first." I was ordered to come and pick you up. Governor Wang, please. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, let the little officer Mai Tiezhu enter the prison in the Duguan Yamen to pick him up, the person who came must be extraordinary, not that he can resist now, he nodded, rode on the horse, Mai Tiecane led Wang Huaqiang all the way in front, out of the prison of the Duguan Yamen, rode along the street, and soon went out of the south gate.

Ten miles away from the south gate of the long pavilion, Wang Huaqiang saw from a distance that there were more than ten strong guards leading horses and waiting here, there were no noisy hawkers within a radius of one mile, and in that wooden rough pavilion, there was only a round stone table in the pavilion, and there were four stone benches around it, and a tall man wearing a black cloak, with his back to himself, stood with his hands in his hands.

Wang Huaqiang guessed a rough idea in his heart, this person is also the one he wants to see the most now, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, walked into the small pavilion, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Prisoner Wang Huaqiang, meet the Duke of Qi!"

Gao Xi turned around, without any expression on his face, he sat on a stone bench, made a gesture to Wang Huaqiang to get up, and said coldly: "Huaqiang, do you have any opinions on your arrangements this time?" ”

Wang Huaqiang scolded in his heart: It's strange if you have no opinion! But his mouth was still respectful: "Thunder and rain are all the kindness of the servants, how dare Hua Qiang have an opinion?" ”

Gao Xi sighed and said, "I, Gao Xi, have always been rewarded for my merits, and I will be punished if I make mistakes, do you know where you did wrong this time?" ”
