Wang Xian was wrapped in a thick cloak and ran towards the northwest where Zhou Xuan was located under the escort of soldiers and horses.

After a day and a night, I saw the camp of the army, and the big flag of Zhou characters fluttering above the big tent of the Chinese army.

That's where the teenager Zhou Xuan is.

Who is Zhou Xuan, not everyone knows it in Great Xia, he is not as famous as the iron-masked general, but when it comes to his father, everyone knows - the emperor's companion, put forward the order of inheritance, and was called a rebel by the princes and kings to crusade against the Qing monarch, and was assassinated, and the emperor was angry for his imperial historian Zhou Qing, who personally recruited the princes and kings.

When Zhou Qing was killed two years ago, the eighteen-year-old second son Zhou Xuan was studying with the princes, and when he heard that his father was assassinated, he held the book in his hand and cried for a long time, but he did not rush home, but continued to sit in the school building to study, and his family came to call him back to Zhou Qing for the funeral and funeral, and he did not go, everyone thought that this young man was crazy.

Zhou Xuan studied alone in the palace for half a month, missed Zhou Qing's funeral, until he finished reading the books on the desk, ran to Zhou Qing's tomb and knelt in front of Zhou Qing's tomb for two days, and then ran to the palace to find the emperor and said that he didn't want to study, and he wanted to join the army.

The emperor was deeply shocked, not only agreed to his request, but also made up his mind for this, just half a year after Zhou Xuan surrendered to the army, the Tingwei Mansion announced that Zhou Qing's assassination was done by the princes and kings, the purpose was to assassinate the emperor, the emperor reversed the previous tolerance and retreat to the princes and kings, and decided to ask the princes and kings for the crime of rebellion, three months later, the imperial court army went to Zhou Qi Wu in three ways.

Because Wu was the strongest of the three princes, the emperor personally sat in the town, the iron-faced general escorted the commander, and Zhou Xuan was in the battle against the soldiers and horses of Zhou and Qi.

As a disciple of Chongwu in the capital, although Zhou Xuan is a scholar, he can also ride a horse and shoot arrows, and he has been in the army for more than half a year.

After the imperial court declared war on the princes and kings, Zhou Xuan rushed to the place where Zhou Qi's soldiers and horses were located, he was not afraid of death when he rushed into battle, and he was full of military books and good strategies, coupled with the appeal of his father Zhou Qing's tragic death, he responded to every call in the army, and fought with Zhou Qi's soldiers and horses in a year.

Previously, taking advantage of the peace talks between Wu and the imperial court, the Zhou army was flustered, and Zhou Xuan led the vanguard to raid all the way to the Zhou capital, if it wasn't for the Zhou State Taifu to surrender first, the Zhou capital would also be broken by Zhou Xuan, despite this, he still killed the king of Zhou with his own hands after entering the city, and was thus ordered by the emperor to become the commander of an army.

Originally, the emperor asked him to stand by in the Zhou State on the spot, stabilize the army and people of the Zhou State, and wait for the new Zhou king, that is, the king of Wu to settle him, but Zhou Xuan didn't listen at all, and without waiting for the arrival of the new Zhou king, he took half of the soldiers and horses to fight to the Qi State.

Thinking of this, Wang Xian, who was blown by the strong wind, wrapped his cloak tightly, and did not dare to open his mouth to scold, lest he be poured into his mouth by the cold wind, because of Zhou Qing, Zhou Xuan said nothing in front of the emperor, as long as he didn't break the sky, it would be okay to make trouble.

Zhou Xuan didn't listen to the emperor's orders, and the emperor had no choice but to let him go, without even a meaningful reprimand.

Now that Zhou Xuan is rushing to kill in the Qi State, the iron-masked general wants him to order Zhou Xuan to stay where he is, so as not to kill the King of Qi as well - of course the emperor wants to get rid of the princes and kings, but these three princes and kings are the emperor's own uncles and cousins, and even if they want to be killed, they will have to wait for the trial to be announced - especially now that the king of Wu is an example, so that the emperor's holy name is more prosperous.

But for Zhou Xuan, he was bent on avenging his father, and he wanted to kill all the princes and kings overnight, no matter how willing to wait, the emperor didn't dare to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him, but the iron-faced general asked him to persuade him, how could he persuade him?

He does have to be eloquent and eloquent, but Zhou Xuan, this guy is also a madman at all, Wang Xian scolded angrily in his heart, and the madman of the Iron Mask General, when questioned, he actually said that it is really not good, you give Zhou Xuan some medicine and let Zhou Xuan sleep for ten days and half a month-

What do you think of him? When Chen Danzhu?

Alas, Wang Xian's eyes flashed angrily, if he really couldn't do it, he could only do this.

Well, he is always more powerful than that Chen Danzhu, and the medicine he uses can make Zhou Xuan sleep for ten days without illness and pain-

"Is that Mr. Wang?" The soldiers and horses in front galloped to greet us, and saluted respectfully, "General Zhou has specially ordered us to greet us." ”

Wang Xian nodded, and the group of soldiers and horses drove straight to the camp.

"Mr. Wang, General Zhou has been waiting since he received the order from General Iron Mask." When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, two more lieutenant generals who were waiting outside stepped forward to salute, "Please come in." ”

Wang Xian nodded and strode forward, the instinctive reaction just after stepping in made his back tighten, but it was too late, and he splashed a bucket of water with a bang.

Wang Xian was caught off guard and was poured on his head, and let out a loud shout: "Zhou Xuan! ”

No one spoke in the tent, and the lieutenants outside the tent, including Wang Xian's guards, poured in, and Wang Xian was stunned when they saw him like this.

"What's going on?" Wang Xian's guards shouted, took off their cloaks to wrap Wang Xian, and wiped his head and face.

Wang Xian first sprayed the blood of Zhou Xuan's scolding in his heart, and then scolded the iron-masked general, wiped the water off his face and saw that there was no Zhou Xuan in the camp tent at all.

He cursed, looked at Zhou Xuan's generals, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

These people looked embarrassed, and their eyes dodged, "We don't know about this." "General Xiao Zhou's tent, we can't just enter" said some evasive words, and hurriedly called for someone to take a brazier, take a bath bucket, clean clothes, and beckon Wang Xian to wash and change clothes.

It is true that it can't be dried like this in the winter, Wang Xian can only ask them to send the bath bucket, but this time he is much more vigilant, personally checked the bath bucket water and even clothes, confirmed that there is no problem, and then there is no problem, after being busy for a long time, Wang Xian changed his clothes and dried his hair, and then took a deep breath and asked Zhou Xuan where he was.

Zhou Xuan's adjutant general lowered his head and said, "Mr. Wang, when you were bathing, General Zhou was waiting outside, but suddenly there was an urgent secret report, there was a Qi army attacking the camp, and the general himself personally -"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Xian.

Fools?

"Say." Wang Xian took a deep breath, "Where is he?" ”

Deputy generals, look at me, I look at you, smile bitterly, and don't want to pretend anymore, it's already embarrassing to follow Zhou Xuan's orders to mess around like this.

"Mr. Wang, General Zhou had already killed Qidu long before you arrived." A lieutenant general said helplessly, kneeling down on one knee to Mr. Wang, "The last general, I can't stop it." ”

This bastard boy, Wang Xian gritted his teeth angrily, and he was still a step late.

Alas, I can only blame King Qi for his bad fate, anyway, King Qi is going to die sooner or later, that's it, this King of Qi is a sick man, and he won't live long.

The iron-masked general, who heard his return report, gently stroked the corner of the table, and the deep gaze behind the iron mask drooped: "Actually, what I care about is not the death of King Qi."

So what's the concern? Wang Xian frowned.

......

......

The streets of Qidu in the cold winter were full of running soldiers and horses, and the people hiding in their homes were shivering, as if they could smell the bloody smell coming from outside the city.

Qi does not have a tall city, and the strength of the princes and kings has always been the strongest protection.

But now that the king of Wu has returned to the imperial court and the king of Zhou has been killed, the military spirit of the Qi army is no longer there, and the majesty of the king has also disappeared with the death of the old king of Qi, and the new king of Qi has been bedridden for five out of ten years since he ascended the throne.

King Qi, who was in his forties, was lying on a gorgeous bed, his face was weak, and he let out a rapid panting, like an old man in his seventies.

There were no eunuchs and maids around the bed, only a tall figure cast on a satin curtain, the corner of which was pulled up to wipe a cold-glittering knife.

"You are Zhou Qing's son?" King Qi made a hurried voice, as if trying to raise his head to see his appearance clearly.

"My name is Zhou Xuan." The sound came clearly into the ears of King Qi through the curtain.

The voice was as clear as the scholars reading a book.

Well, it was also as gentle and smiling as Zhou Qing read out the Cheng En Order back then.

Although Zhou Qing read out the edict of inheritance, he didn't even walk in Qi Guo, and now his son has come in.

King Qi muttered, "You actually sneaked in, who is -"

Who put this general of the imperial court in? But, what is the point of asking this now, King Qi stopped and questioned.

He lay on the jade pillow, looking at the pearls and gems hanging from the bed, his eyes were reluctant and distracted.

"You're here to kill me." He said, "Please do it." ”

The satin of the wiping knife was lowered, but the knife did not fall.

"The way you look, it's no fun to kill you." The voice behind the curtain was full of disdain, "You, confess your sins and surrender." ”
