Zong Ze knocked on the ground with his head and said sadly: "The emperor, the emperor, why is this so?" ”

"There is no need to say anything about this, we are all tired, you can retreat." After saying this, there was no sound coming out of it, and Zong Ze knelt down for a long time before he said respectfully: "The old minister obeys the order!" He stood up and took a few dozen steps before turning back to the front of the army.

He went straight to Wan Linggen and said in a deep voice, "Raise your head!" ”

Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely penetrating, and Wan Linggen shook his head and slowly raised his head.

It was a pair of eagle-like eyes, and there seemed to be thousands of sharp knives slashing at him, as if they were about to peel off the skin and debone and go straight to the heart.

Wan Linggen reluctantly stared at him for a moment, and had to look away.

"Folk rumors say that there is a thunder god descending to earth, and that person is you?" Zong Ze's cold voice was full of coldness.

Wan Linggen smiled awkwardly, "Back to the old general, that's just a folk misinformation, and it shouldn't be true." ”

Zong Ze said: "Whenever there is a major event in the country, there must be small people who use strange forces to confuse the gods and confuse the people, which is not surprising. Have you ever heard of Guo Jing? ”

Wan Linggen was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that it hadn't been long since he heard about it, and said respectfully: "I just heard a few adults mention it." ”

Zong Ze nodded, "Did they tell you that Guo Jing was cut off by the old man?" ”

Wan Linggen was stunned again, and said in his heart, why did this old man come up and have a gun and a stick? What kind of bullshit Guo Jing Li Jing, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu? Thinking so, he didn't dare to show it, and had to answer honestly: "Back to the old general, I'm ...... I don't know. ”

Zhang Shuye and the others stood aside, also feeling embarrassed. Uncle Zhang took a step forward and said: "Old general, Brother Wan is not the same as Na Guo, his subordinates are all soldiers and generals and some of the people who responded to the call when the last general entered the city, and they all have real skills, and the 20,000 troops of Sheyema and Wanyan were all wiped out except for more than 1,000 people who were captured, which was seen by the last general himself. ”

Zong Ze glanced at Uncle Zhang, his expression softened slightly, and then asked, "Wan Linggen, do your people have divine power to protect their bodies?" ”

Wan Linggen said in his heart, how can the more he talks about it, the more outrageous it becomes, he looked directly at Zong Ze and said, "No! ”

"Is there an invulnerability?" Zong Ze continued to ask.

Wan Linggen was even more unhappy in his heart, and his brows furrowed slightly: "No." If the old general doesn't believe it, he can ask for himself. ”

Seeing the displeasure on his face, Zong Ze was a little surprised, and said in a slower voice: "No matter what method you use to win, you can not lose anyone, this cannot be trusted." Let's go back to the city! After speaking, he ignored the crowd, strode to his war horse, and turned over on his horse. The rear team he brought with him changed from the rear team to the front team, rolled up clouds of smoke and dust, and drove away.

Wan Linggen was depressed in his heart, Qin Hui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wan doesn't have to worry about it, the old general just has a weird temper, and you don't know much about it." ”

Li Ruoshui also persuaded: "Don't say it's you, even the emperor is sometimes choked by him and has nothing to say." ”

Wan Linggen sighed and said with a smile: "How can I care about this, let's go." ”

Everyone got on the horse and continued to move forward, but he kept a straight face along the way, and never said a word more, and others thought that he was still angry with Zongze, and they didn't care very much.

It was almost dusk, and Kaifeng City was not far away. The cavalry sent back earlier were all waiting in front, and it was Zhang Bofen who led the team. Wan Linggen said strangely: "Why didn't you enter the city?" Is there something going on in the city? ”

Zhang Bofen said: "Go back to Dashuai, there is nothing to do in the city." It's just that the city defense in front was taken over by General Zonglao, and he asked us to camp outside the city. ”

Wan Linggen was stunned, "Camped outside the city? Where did we come from? ”

Uncle Zhang hurriedly said at night: "Don't worry, Dashuai, we will take it from the city." ”

Wan Linggen shook his head, feeling a little disheartened, "This handsome word, don't call it again in the future." ”

Uncle Zhang was stunned when he heard this, his face changed a few times and said: "Why did the big man say this, if the big man is no longer the big handsome, then where will we go?" ”

When Wan Linggen heard him say this, he was suddenly startled, and the whole person froze for a moment, and said in his heart how could he suffer from gains and losses, and there were nearly 20,000 sons behind him, if he really retreated, he could just walk away by himself, what should others do? Thinking of this, he suddenly became arrogant, and reached out and patted Uncle Zhang's shoulder, "I'm sorry, Lao Zhang, I'm ...... Hehe, I'm overly worried. ”

Uncle Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that his expression changed so quickly, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, you just need to remember one thing, no matter when, there are more than 20,000 hot-blooded sons and daughters behind you to support you, which no one can change." ”

"Thank you!" Wan Linggen said sincerely, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart, and for the first time he had a sense of belonging to his relatives and home in this strange world.

Zong Ze brought a total of 4,000 men and horses, of which 2,000 were cavalry. They camped in a circle outside Kaifeng City, and Wan Linggen's men and horses lined up outside them, although there were more people than them, but the camp tents were small in comparison, and the soldiers were almost a dozen people crammed into a tent. Kaifeng City is the four gates are wide open, the people in the city all come out, all flock to the camp tent in the outermost side, cattle, sheep, wine and meat are readily available, open on the spot, reward these black-clothed warriors, its lively scene, no less than a grand festival.

In the midst of the war, and after several lootings, the people were still able to come up with such a rich thing to work the army, which really moved Wan Linggen to a mess, and the others were even more red-eyed and excited. Later, the camp tents were simply dismantled, and the soldiers and civilians sat on the ground and chatted, regardless of the military and the people.

Wan Linggen was surrounded by the crowd and kept bowing everywhere in thanks. Everywhere he went, he would set off a frenzy, and the sound of Thor was endless.

The hustle and bustle here is in stark contrast to the cold and solemn in Zongze's camp, Wang Jia has moved to his camp, but the second emperor still doesn't see anyone, even the emperor and Empress Ji and others who came out of the city are also closed. Under the persuasion and leadership of Zhao Ling'er, they had to give up the idea of asking to see the second emperor, came to Wan Linggen's camp, expressed their gratitude, and went back to the city in a huff.

At this time, the saddest person was the "King of Chu" Zhang Bangchang, who wanted to see the second emperor several times to ask for guilt, but was blocked back, and finally could only nest in his "palace" and couldn't sleep all night.

Zong Ze held his hands behind his back, his brows locked in the big tent, pacing around, as if he had not heard the noise coming from afar.

"Lord Qin, Lord Li, do you know where this Ten Thousand Spirit Root comes from?" He stopped and asked.

Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui looked at each other and shook their heads, "Old general, we don't know. But this person is superhuman, courageous and wise, including the Second Emperor, all of us have seen it with our own eyes. It can be concluded that he is by no means an extraordinary person, let alone comparable to Guo Jing and others. ”

Zong Ze was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "You said that when he led people to surround the Jin soldiers, he used a weapon that can make a sound, what is it, have you ever seen it?" ”

Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui shook their heads and said, "I haven't seen it all the time, and we haven't asked." However, the voice was extremely low, and after hearing it, it would make people weak and lose their combat effectiveness. ”

Zong Ze let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, you go and tell him that I will have a competition with him tomorrow." It's important for him to explain to him that it's important for him and for me to do my best. ”

"Yes!" The two bowed and left the tent.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the sky is far-reaching, and under the stars, countless torches and wind lanterns reflect the light within a radius of several miles as if it were day.

With Wan Linggen as the center, then Liang Hongyu's guards, and then the people and those black-clothed warriors outside, forming a huge circular area, which is also the core area of passion, guessing fists, chatting, laughing and scolding, and all kinds of voices are endless.

Wan Linggen's face was solemn, he picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Qin Hui opposite, Li Ruoshui, Zhang Shuye and others, and took a sip, this kind of faint wine is not wine, and there are some things with a sour taste, he is really a little unaccustomed to it.

"Brother Qin, Brother Li, what does the old general want to compare with me?" Wan Linggen asked.

Qin Hui took a big sip of wine and smiled: "What else can it be compared to?" The old general is on the field, he is a very conceited person, even the golden soldiers have to respectfully shout 'Grandpa Zong', and little brother, you didn't lose a single soldier, and wiped out the enemy unscathed, this can't be convincing anyway, so the old general wants to see if your hole cards are all the way with that demon Guo Jing. ”

Wan Linggen asked strangely, "You have been talking about that Guo Jing, who is he?" ”

Li Ruoshui put down the wine bowl and sighed and said: "This person is just a You Wei pawn, when the Jin soldiers besieged the city, he lied that he had a strange spell and could cast two magic spells of Buddhism and Taoism. At that time, the situation was critical, and the emperor listened to his nonsense, granted him an official position, and gave him a large amount of money. He recruited a group of ruffians to pretend to be ghosts, open the city to cast spells, but was killed by the Jin soldiers, so the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to occupy the outer city of Kaifeng, but this Guo Jing took advantage of the chaos to escape. didn't want to fall into the hands of the old general, he was beheaded by the old general for public display, and the body was still in the wilderness. ”

Wan Linggen didn't know what "You Wei" was, but he didn't care about these either, and sighed and said, "No wonder the old general has such an attitude towards me, he is worried that I am another Guo Jing." ”

Qin Hui said: "So brother, you must show all your skills and let the old general know that you have real talent and learning." ”

Wan Linggen was even more embarrassed, he shook his head and said, "The two brothers don't know anything, if you talk about real talent and real learning, I really don't have it." ”

Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui's faces changed greatly when they heard this, "Brother, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you really have a strange art? ”
