Chapter 796: Two Regrets

The wind blew from the east carelessly, and it was also carelessly telling people that winter was gone. The cold north wind has left, and the wind blowing from the east, no matter how strong, is no longer as powerful as a winter knife. It's just that when the wind swept over the battle flag, the shaking sound of hula and hula was still powerful.

Because he said a few wrong words before, Xiahou didn't let him be a little embarrassed. He glanced at Pei Ju who was standing beside him with some embarrassment, and couldn't find any topic to alleviate the embarrassment for a while.

Pei Ju didn't care, he looked outside the city wall, smiled and said to Xiahou: "I'm going to go out of the city in a while to see if Wang Fubao and his son have really been subdued, and the general should take care of it more...... If there's any change outside, don't close the gates and leave me outside. ”

"How is this possible......"

Xiahou smiled sarcastically, then patted his chest and said: "Master Pei, just rest assured, as long as I, Xiahou, don't let me stand on the wall of this city, even if the people outside really have the intention of rebellion, I won't watch you trapped in a dangerous situation." Even if you hold the three-foot Qingfeng and fight for this old life, I will also take you back to the city safely. ”

"With General Xiahou's words, I am relieved."

Pei Ju smiled, walked to Xiahou Burang's side and patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly said in a very soft voice in Xiahou's ear: "But at this time, it is inevitable that Your Majesty will be cautious in his heart." As courtiers, we naturally have to be more cautious...... Your Majesty is a towering tree, and we are just small grass blessed under the shade of the tree, the big tree is there, and the small grass has nothing to worry about, if the tree is gone...... What do we grass rely on to resist the wind and rain? By what? ”

"Uh...... What does this mean, Master Pei? ”

"Hehe, General Xiahou is the first class smart person in the world, and he naturally understands what the old man means."

Pei Ju smiled, turned around and walked under the city wall.

Xiahou didn't let him look at Pei Ju's back, and then looked at the Xia soldiers outside the city couldn't help but shake his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he unconsciously repeated Pei Ju's words: "If the big tree is gone, what do we grass rely on to resist the wind and rain?" By what? ”

He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

No matter how strong the grass is, it still can't stop the gale and hail on its own...... Unless...... Find another big tree.

He hurriedly turned his head to look at Pei Ju, wanting to catch up and ask for clarification. But at this time, Pei Ju had already gone down the city wall and walked to the city gate. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, when Xiahou didn't let him look down, it happened that Pei Ju also glanced back at him. Xiahou didn't seem to see it, and Pei Ju had a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

The heavy and sturdy gate creaked open slowly, but it only opened a gap that could only accommodate one person to get out. Even so, the defenders in the city gate cave still nervously leveled the repeater in their hands, and if there was a little trouble, they would not hesitate to shoot the repeater's crossbow box empty.

Pei Ju didn't seem to be worried, and he even carefully sorted out the clothes on his body before going out. With only two cronies and his entourage, he walked out of the gate and walked in front of the Xia army outside the city.

Wang Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head and glanced at Pei Ju, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Wang Fubao shook his head slightly at him without showing a trace, and then the two of them lowered their heads at the same time and did not look at Pei Ju for a second time. The little eunuch Wu Bian, who pretended to be calm, watched Pei Ju come over step by step, and his nervous palms were full of sweat.

He wanted to smile to ease his tense nerves, but he didn't know how ugly his smile would be.

"The slave and maid gave a gift to Lord Pei, and after a month, Lord Pei ...... I'm in a lot of energy again. ”

Wu Bian tried his best to keep himself talking as usual, but his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He was just a eunuch who had never experienced the matter of a knife soldier, and at this time, where could he calm down with the short knife poked at his waist? The night of killing in the camp of the Xia army in Qingzhang that day made him see what is the most murderous thing in the world.

He originally looked down on those five big and three rough soldiers, but now he understands that no matter how big the natural disasters in this world are, I am afraid that they are not as big as the disasters caused by the knife disasters in the hands of those soldiers.

"The lieutenant went out of the city, but he lost some weight."

Pei Ju smiled, nodded to Wu Bian and said, "This time, the captain has made great contributions to Great Xia, and the reward from Your Majesty must be indispensable." After returning to the palace, the rewards and rewards will come immediately...... It's just that His Majesty asked the old man to ask the lieutenant, why did he bring the troops back to the city?! ”

Why bring troops back to the city!

These six words were like a spring thunder in Wu Bian's ears, which shook his heart for a while.

"Traitor...... The traitor king Fubao father and son colluded with Yanyun thieves to try to make trouble, and after the slave and maid arrested them with a will, they led their troops back to the capital because they were afraid that Yanyun thieves would rescue them. Your Excellency, you also know that the Qingzhang camp is only twenty or thirty miles away from the Yanyun thief's men and horses, and if there is any leakage and the traitor is lost, the slaves and maids will not be able to deal with each other in front of His Majesty. ”

"The old man understands."

Pei Ju smiled and nodded, and slowly squatted down in front of Wang Fubao.

He looked at Wang Fubao's face, and said with a smile in a very low voice: "The general is so bold...... The rope tied to the general's body is very strong, and it is said that it is difficult to cut easily with a sharp knife. But the old man still couldn't help but think...... The cow tendon rope can bind a general of the imperial court, but I don't know if it can bind a general who is no longer in the imperial court. ”

This sounds a bit awkward, and it seems to be a bit nonsense.

But Wang Fubao raised his head and said seriously: "Roar is in the capital, and Lord Pei will take care of him, so that he will not die." After entering the city today, I also hope that Lord Pei will say a few fair words in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. ”

It is in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, not in front of His Majesty.

……

……

Under the weeping willow in the camp where the branches were already full of tender shoots, Li Xian gently dusted off a trace of dust on his clothes, and he glanced at Wang Bo, the Zhishilang who was kneeling in front of him, with a smile in his eyes, and the meaning in his eyes made Wang Bo uncomfortable and shuddered.

"The criminal minister can lead the way straight to Zhaozhou, and the criminal minister of the city defense of Zhaozhou also understands it clearly. Moreover, the criminals on the way to Zhaozhou can also try their best to call them away, after all, the criminals still have a seal on their bodies...... There is no suspicion. ”

Wang Bo tried his best to make his tone sincere, but he didn't dare to look at Li Xian's face all the time.

"You are a bit interesting, and you don't forget to bring your official seal with you when you run for your life."

Li Xian smiled and said, "But it's not enough...... It is only seven or eight hundred miles away from Zhaozhou, and there is nothing dangerous and difficult to attack. Even if you don't deceive you into opening the city gate, can't you fight alone? If you can deceive the city gate of Zhaozhou, you may be able to impress Lonely. ”

"Sinners can!"

Wang Bo smelled a hint of vitality, how could he let it go.

"When the criminal minister came out of the state, he had already discussed with Pei Ju, and once he seized Wang Fubao's military power, he would surrender to His Royal Highness. If His Highness doesn't believe in this matter, he can confront Pei Ju after conquering Chaozhou...... With Pei Ju in Zhaozhou as the internal response, it is not difficult to lay down Dou Jiande's capital. It's just that the time code of the appointment with Pei Ju is only known to the guilty minister, and I ask Your Highness to give the guilty minister a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

"You mean to say that without you, you will definitely not be able to capture Chaozhou?"

"The sinners don't dare!"

Wang Bo touched his head to the ground and said: "The criminal minister just feels that since the criminal minister can help His Highness try his best to take Dou Jiande's capital without losing his troops, why not do it?" ”

"It's still not enough, think about what else you have to save your life."

Li Xian said softly.

Wang Bo's body trembled with fright, and he was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of something: "Your Highness, Wang Fubao has rebelled, and at this time, he may have quietly returned to Zhaozhou with his men and horses to force the palace to seize power." Thinking that the Qingzhang camp is already empty, the criminal minister is willing to be a guide to guide the army to level the Qingzhang camp in one fell swoop! ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "You have finally found a reason to save your life temporarily, so be it...... Come on, take him down, and wait for Gu to usher in General Daxi, and then make plans! ”

Wang Bo let out a long sigh of relief, only to find a chill on his back. I don't know when, the clothes on my back have been completely wet with sweat.

Li Xian also ignored him anymore, and took Xue Wanche and the others to get on the horse and go outside the camp. At this time, Daxi Changru personally took the original blood to ride the four tigers, as well as Xiao Di and others who had already converged, and they had arrived less than twenty miles away from the camp. After getting off the big boat, the road was bumpy, and it seemed that the old man, who was already in his sixties, was even more haggard.

When Li Xian led people to greet the grain delivery team, Daxi Changru was resting in the carriage. Dugu Ruizhi and Xiao Di were guarding beside him, and the old man's face was ugly and a little scary.

Li Xian waved his hand to signal the people below to be quiet, and got into the carriage lightly. When he opened the curtain and saw the sad old man, Li Xian's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Master......"

Li Xian slowly sat down beside Daxi Changru and held the old man's cold hand.

"Ann no ......"

Daxi Changru opened his eyes, and after seeing Li Xian, he couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect to see you again, but I couldn't even ride a horse." Makes you laugh at ......"

Li Xian endured his sore nose, clasped the old man's hand and said softly: "When you are old, you always like to be lazy, if I hadn't ushered in earlier, you would definitely climb on the back of the horse before arriving at the camp, right?" You can't say that you have to pull me to try to dabble, and you will easily win me. ”

"That's right...... I'm just getting older and lazy. ”

Daxi Changru smiled, his eyes were soft: "Xiao Di is here, Dugu is also here, Iron Fangwolf, Dongfang, and Xiao Chao are all here, and now you are here too...... Now that I think about it, the people who were still alive on the grassland were all gathered because of my old man, only Zhang Zhongjian and Hongfu were the two of them. ”

He raised his head and glanced at Ye Huaisleeve, who followed Li Xian into the car, and smiled: "You are here too......

Ye Huaisleeve nodded, but he didn't know what to say.

"When crossing the Yellow River, my body can still hold on, and I can drink a pound of old wine...... Unexpectedly, after crossing the Yellow River, a spring rain caught a cold, and the body couldn't bear the spring cold. ”

Ye Huaisleeve comforted: "It's just that I'm cold, with Xiao Di and Dugu here, I will be able to live as in the past in a few days, I still remember the power of you slashing the carriage with a knife when you were in Yuyang County." ”

"Fifty knows the destiny of heaven...... I'm already over fifty, what else can't I see? ”

Daxi Changru shook his head with a smile and said: "There are only two regrets in my heart now, if I can end it, this life is enough." ”

"Master, you say."

Li Xian asked solemnly.

"One...... You built a large cemetery in Chang'an City, and sent people to Yanshan to move the graves of the old brothers, but you have never had the opportunity to go to their graves to put a stick of incense, burn a handful of paper money, and toast a glass of old wine......"

"I'll ...... you better."

Before Li Xian's words were finished, he was interrupted by Daxi Changru waving his hand: "Although this matter is a pity, it is nothing. When I die, you will bury me in the cemetery, and I will go down and apologize to them. The second thing is what I desperately want to see...... Hopefully I'll be able to make it through. ”

"What?"

"Ann ...... You should also have a queen, I still want to hug my apprentice grandson. ”
