Chapter 564: Your Life Is Mine
The king of Chu handed the bow to Ning Jiu on the side, rode through the crowd, held the long sword in his hand, and cut through the thorns, only to see the faint sword light flickering, and the soldiers who blocked him fell to the ground in response.
When the king of Chu arrived, he looked at him condescendingly, "From now on, your life is mine." ”
It was noisy all around, but Bai Changjian could hear it clearly, and his eyes were cracking: "Don't think!" ”
The king of Chu didn't speak, he raised his chin slightly towards Ning Jiu, who followed, Ning Jiu took out a long strip of something from his arms, lit it and threw it into the air, and a bright spark suddenly rose into the sky, like a meteor in the dark night, making a loud noise. The fighting crowd all looked up, and the chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, the king of Chu spoke unhurriedly: "Put down the weapon in your hand, this king can spare you from death!" ”
He spoke very slowly, but all the eyes that looked at him were fearful and panicked, and there was silence all around, no one spoke, only snowflakes falling quietly.
Bai Changjian saw the hesitation and loosening in the eyes of the soldiers, and he shouted loudly, "The man of the Iron Cavalry Battalion would rather die than surrender!" ”
The soldiers around him immediately raised their swords in response, but in an instant, five or six spears pierced through his body and stabbed him into a bloody hole.
Everyone watched this scene in horror, watching the pro-soldier fall to the ground in a strange posture......
Finally, someone let go, the weapon fell to the ground, one, two, three, more and more people threw their weapons, standing blankly, and in the end, even some generals threw down the weapons in their hands.
Bai Changjian closed his eyes in despair, but he couldn't blame them, no one is not afraid of death, compared to life, dignity is really nothing, besides, this is a civil war, and it is not very humiliating to give in to his compatriots.
Naturally, the reception of prisoners of war was carried out by everyone, and the quiet scene became lively again, but it was no longer noisy and noisy, but proceeded in an orderly manner.
King Chu looked at Bai Changjian with a faint expression, "I can satisfy you what you want to do, including requesting external support, I have already done it for you." ”
Bai Changjian knew that he was referring to the matter of releasing the signal flare just now, just in case, eighty miles away, General Wang brought an elite army to be stationed there, as long as he sent someone to report the news, General Wang would bring men and horses to come over to support, the two places are not far apart, the signal flare just now, General Wang must have seen it.
The king of Chu instructed left and right: "Take people to ambush on both sides of the road, and as soon as they come in, they will immediately wrap me up." ”
Bai Changjian trembled with anger, he was born as a scholarly disciple, no matter how angry he was, he would only scold: "You despicable and sinister villain!" ”
King Chu didn't mind and waved his hand, "Take General Bai down and take care of it." ”
In the east, the belly of the fish was white, the light of the mistlet came up, the snow stopped, and the sky was about to dawn.
The king of Chu asked Ning Jiu, "How long is there until the Chinese New Year?" ”
Ning Jiu thought for a moment, "Today is fifteen, and there is still half a month." ”
Half a month, enough is enough, enough to trample them under their feet.
The king of Chu looked at the pale sky in the east with his hands in his hands, the darkness was about to pass, and the light would eventually come, but his light would never come.
"Give Jia Tong an order, and ask him to inform the prince to go north, and say that this king will open the way for him in front."
"Yes, lord." Ning Jiu took the order and turned away.
The king of Chu stepped on his horse and ran towards the place where the morning sun rose, and behind him, the soldiers followed like a tide.
——
When the messenger entered the Yin Gate of the Mansion, Jia Tong was drinking with Li Xiaolu, his face was full of melancholy, and he was full of complaints: "Tell me, what else am I messing with, saying that it is a first-class guard, but now I won't be let go anywhere, only with Ning Jiu, I know that he blames me, blames me for not protecting the princess and Xiao Shizi, but what can I do, I met a master, I didn't listen to any movement at all, plus my daughter-in-law also made a fuss that night, hey, don't mention it, I am considered to have poured blood mold." ”
Li Xiaolu said, "It's better not to follow, the sword has no eyes in the war, in case you are injured, it is a matter of a lifetime, isn't it good to come back and stay comfortably, they charge and kill the enemy in front, let's eat meat and drink wine in the back, how happy these days are." ”
Jia Tong shook his head, "But I'm a gentleman, I don't have to be looked down upon, not to mention others, my daughter-in-law has to look down on me for the first time, who doesn't want their own sons and daughters to make contributions, look at it, this battle is fought, the prince will be a general of Ning Jiu, and that will be majestic." ”
"What is a little general," Li Xiaolu scoffed, "What he does is licking blood on the knife edge and working for others, not to mention others, just say that the King of Chu, his status is high enough, it's still the same, fight for our prince, if you want me to say, don't be a general, find a way to move the place, the wind can't blow, the rain can't be wet, the silver is enough to spend every month, and you can still guard your wife and children, this kind of life is called beautiful." ”
Jia Tong sighed, "But in addition to my kung fu, I have no other strengths, if I want to chew the words, I can't do it." ”
Li Xiaolu glanced at him and leaned over, "The crown prince has newly established a yamen called the Imperial City Division, do you know?" ”
Jia Tong looked at him strangely, "When I get high, it's not a secret, of course I know." ”
"If you are willing to go, the prince will be overjoyed, and the position of the governor may fall on your head, which is a well-known positive third grade." Li Xiaolu said, "When the prince captures Lin'an, the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, you wear three-grade court clothes every day to enter the palace, everyone calls you a governor, and when you go down to the court, there are groups of slaves in the mansion, beautiful wives and concubines, and young children are around their knees, what a good situation it is." ”
Jia Tong's eyes were straight, and he didn't speak, as if he was moved by the beautiful picture.
Li Xiaolu looked at him with a smile, "What do you think?" ”
Jia Tong let out a long breath, "It would be nice if it was like that," after a pause, he said, "There can't be a beautiful concubine, I will be hunted down by Green Lotus." ”
Li Xiaolu was a little crying and laughing, "That's your own business, let me ask you if you can move?" ”
"People live in the world, isn't it just for fame and fortune, life is stable, why don't you be tempted," Jia Tong grabbed his hair distressedly, "I just, I feel a little sorry for the prince." ”
"How do you say this," Li Xiaolu enlightened him, "The king of Chu doesn't believe you anymore, and it's not interesting to follow him again, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, think about it, which is more face-saving to serve the emperor or serve the prince?" Besides, our prince is much kinder than your prince, and when the princess was there, the king of Chu still had a smile on his face, but now, I won't tell you, I don't dare to look at him squarely, it's scary. ”
As the two of them were talking, the messenger came in and bowed his hand to Jia Tong, "Lord Jia, the prince has an order, I want you to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and set off to the north immediately, the prince said that he opened the way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him, and went straight to Lin'an!" ”
Jia Tong and Li Xiaolu stood up in shock and asked in unison, "Have you attacked Weishui?" ”
"Weishui is a great victory, and the prince has already waved his army north."
Waiting for the little soldier who reported the news to withdraw, Li Xiaolu raised his eyebrows at Jia Tong, "What I said just now, you think about it, the prince will go north, and Lin'an will be broken in a few days, and the prince will soon become the new king, don't miss the opportunity." ”
