Now that his mind has recovered, he is as shrewd and capable as before, and he comforted the twenty-six strong men brought by Director Zhu with kind words. He instructed the Lanzhou delegation to pack their bags, and the next day they left Bianjing, and when they arrived at Hezhongfu, An Sidao falsely claimed that the envoy was suddenly seriously ill, and stuffed a large amount of silver money into the officials of the Duting Xiyi, and the group rested in the Hezhong Mansion Pavilion Post and hooked up with the Sogdian merchants in Hezhongfu. The guide sent by Kangqu Dagan led the way, and Zhang Zhongyao took Zhu Dao and the newly recruited strong men to rush all the way to the border of Lanzhou. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, An Sidao found a henchman to pretend to be Zhang Zhongyao and stayed in the house all day long, not seeing outsiders.

When he saw Zhang Zhongyao, Wu Yingying's face was a little strange, but he still greeted him with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi came to visit, and he dared to greet him." ”

Since Zhang Zhongyao had made up his mind to pay attention to leading Lanzhou into Hexi, he saluted him respectfully, did not detour, and directly said his thoughts, hoping that Wu Yingying would send an elite army to Hexi, and as for the Cao side of the Guiyi Army, he would definitely do his best to promote this matter after he returned this time. He expected that Wu Heroes belonged to the heroes, and the brave generals and soldiers were confined to a state, and now that they had this opportunity to expand their power, they would definitely join the army.

Who knew that after listening to his suggestion, Wu Yingying's face was even more strange and a little embarrassed, he looked at Zhang Zhongyao, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Gongzi, a few days ago, your mansion Tuo Lao Kang sent someone to send a message that the Cao clan of the Guiyi army was persecuted by the Uighurs, and did not admit that he had sent Gongzi to the Great Song Dynasty, let alone that the Guiyi Army asked Gongzi to ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty. Now, once Gongzi returns to the Guiyi Army, the Cao clan will inevitably put you in prison or borrow your head to appease the anger of the Uighur Khan in Gansha Prefecture. ”

"What?" This was the second blow Zhang Zhongyao had received in a few days, and he stood up from his seat and glared at Wu Yingying.

"Not only that, but the Cao clan of the Guiyi army has sent a new envoy to Shuofang under the escort of the Uighur Khan's army, just to clarify the matter to the Great Song Dynasty, and to punish you for the crime of pretending to be an envoy to deceive the king! ”

"Seven-foot man, how can you be humiliated like this!" Zhang Zhongyao's forehead was bruised, his eyes were cracked, and he was angry. If the identity of the envoy is not recognized, he will also be punished for the crime of defrauding the king, and the so-called disgrace is nothing more than this. Unexpectedly, Hexi became an outcast of the imperial court, and he became an outcast of Hexi.

Wu Yingying looked at him with some pity and sympathy, and when Zhang Zhongyao sat back in the chair weakly, he said in a slow voice: "Zhang Gongzi, since you can't go back to Hexi, why don't you stay in Lanzhou, and you should treat him as a brother." Although Lanzhou is narrow and has few soldiers, but it is united, there are many heroes and heroes, our brothers will not be cramped by this corner of the place, there will always be a day, soaring into the sky, Zhang Gongzi can also suffer today, a hundred times the enemy!"

Zhang Zhongyao raised his head, only to see that Wu Yingying's eyes were full of sincerity, and the generals Chase and Xiao Jiu who were sitting next to him also looked at him eagerly.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhongyao stood up, was rude to Wu Yingying and the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhongyao of Hexi, I am willing to serve Lanzhou and seek a great cause." The voice was cold and firm, like a steel knife that had just been hardened like snow.

Wu Yingying hurriedly helped Zhang Zhongyao, who was about to make a big salute, to get up and explained: "I am in Lanzhou, but the marching method, in addition, the robes are all brothers, Brother Zhang should not see him." After speaking, let Chase Si, Xiao Jiu, Yu Furen, Guo Nian and others next to him come up together to greet Zhang Zhongyao.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside. The discipline of the Lanzhou army is strict, and the soldiers are not allowed to make noise for no reason except for the need to exhale and open their voices during the exercise, not to mention that they are in the important place of the command envoy's mansion, Wu Yingying couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and waved his hand to ask Chase to go out and have a look.

After a while, Chase came in with an embarrassed look on his face, and said: "I don't know who the strong man brought by Zhang Gongzi said, saying that Wu Lanzhou was going to subdue Brother Zhang and hand it over to the Uighur Khan, and clamored to come in and rescue the Lord, and there was a conflict with the brothers in the Ya military camp, and the last general has been persuaded to do so, but they have not seen Zhang Gongzi refuse to put away his blade. ”

Wu Yingying said "oh", and couldn't help but be very interested in Zhang Zhongyao's entourage, you must know that the Ya military camp is the elite selected in the Lanzhou army, and Wu Yingying's principle is that the Lanzhou army conflicts with outsiders, whether it is right or wrong, take down the outsiders first, and then say, if you can't take the outsiders, even if you are reasonable, you have to reprimand them, if you take it, it is unreasonable, and you must also reward its bravery, which is also a way to cultivate the courage of the sergeant. However, the sergeant of the Lanzhou Ya military camp had already clashed with Zhang Zhongyao's entourage, but he could not take down dozens of people from the other party, which made Wu Yingying feel strange, could it be that the Guiyi Army was already so powerful? Then why did Zhang Zhongyao have to ask the imperial court or Lanzhou for help, so that the elite against Hexi Qunhu, even if he could not win all, he could still protect himself.

Zhang Zhongyao's face was also very embarrassed, he had just joined Lanzhou, but he didn't think that his newly recruited entourage would have a conflict with Wu Yingying's tooth camp. But he also has a lot of responsibility for the generals, and before he knew the merits, he only took advantage of his ineffective subordinates, and did not admit that it was the fault of the soldiers of the headquarters.

Since he was interested, Wu Yingying led all the lieutenants together, and under the leadership of Chase, he went to the side of the school field, only to see more than 20 men in variegated military robes holding steel knives back to back in a small circle, engrossed in guard, and more than 100 dental army sergeants surrounded them in the outer circle, with swords and guns in the front row and strong shields in the back row, and strong crossbows and longbows in the back row.

But since this group of people is a guest, the Ya military camp does not dare to use bows and crossbows and spears to injure them, only hope to subdue them through hand-to-hand combat, after listening to the command of the envoy, the Ya soldiers know Wu Yingying's temper, once there is a conflict with outsiders, Xu Sheng will not be defeated, it is Yi Chase left, and Zhang Zhongyao's entourage and saber rattling, hoping to take it down before the commander surrenders.

Chase and Zhang Zhongyao immediately stepped forward and said: "Put down your blades, now you are a family, if there is any misunderstanding, you can explain it." ”

Lanzhou Ya military order forbidden, as soon as he heard the lieutenant's order, immediately put the spear up, the horizontal knife back to the sheath, but also put his hand on the blade, ready to do it at any time, although the number of more than 20 followers brought by Zhang Zhongyao was small, but the sudden attack almost made the Ya military camp suffer a big loss.

When Director Zhu saw Zhang Zhongyao walking out with the officers of the Lanzhou Army with a pleasant face, he felt bad in his heart and stepped forward to explain in embarrassment. It turned out that when the Sogdian merchants who came with them and the Sogdians who came from Shuofang to deliver messages met and chatted, they both spoke in Sogdian, and they both said that the Han people did not understand their own language, and they did not shy away from it. Who knew that this Zhu Dao and others were stationed at the border all the year round, but they knew some foreign languages, but they didn't know much, and they heard it vaguely, the Uighur Khan was angry, and the Guiyi army did not dare to admit it, so they took Zhang Gongzi and handed them over to the Uighurs to apologize. Director Zhu was very anxious in his heart, although it didn't take long to join Zhang Zhongyao, but Zhang Zhongyao treated everyone very kindly, he immediately found more than 20 Guannan brothers who came with him, and everyone discussed countermeasures. These thistle men are all solid, and regardless of whether they can get out of the city or not, they immediately took out their blades and snatched Zhang Zhongyao out of the commanding envoy's mansion.

Seeing Zhang Zhongyao's entourage showing his blades, the momentum was violent, and the tooth sergeants who were watching on the side noticed that something was wrong, and immediately reported to the centurion Peng Yuanyu, Peng Yuanyu heard that someone dared to make trouble in the command envoy's mansion, and immediately transferred the whole team of sergeants to surround these soldiers, and wanted to take them on the spot, who knew that these soldiers were surrounded back to back in a circle, and the people in the tooth camp were not opponents when they fought alone, and if they did not use crossbow arrays, spear formations and other means that killed and injured a lot, they could not be subdued for a while. Peng Yuanyu couldn't, he knew that Zhang Zhongyao was a guest of Wu Yingying, and it was not good to kill and injure his subordinates too much, so he commanded the tooth soldiers to surround this group of people, and flew to report to Chase. And Director Zhu and the others all crawled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of knives, and they were stunned when they saw this, and shouted loudly "hand over Zhang Gongzi", "Otherwise, you will be killed and you will not be left behind". so that it alarmed Wu Yingying and others sitting in the house.
