On the long street, four or five armored knights galloped past with a general in helmet and armor, and it was Wang Yi who led a few personal soldiers to the Apocalypse Guard.

"My lord, I'm afraid that these few of us will suffer a loss when we go to break into the Apocalypse, so it's better to go back to the camp and transfer some people."

The leader of the guards was Wang Yi's confidant, and when he saw that Wang Yi was anxious and planned to go straight to the Apocalypse Guard, he couldn't help but say worriedly.

"What are you doing here? Not messy enough? ”

Wang Yi struck his horse and raised his whip, and reprimanded him without looking back.

"But let's just go like this, what if we are detained by Xu Rui?"

The head of the guard, still worried, continued to ask.

Wang Yi snorted coldly: "The official is just worried about Zuo Meng's safety, are you really afraid of him as an official?" Xu Rui Xiaoer, borrow his three guts, do you think he dares to detain this official?! ”

As he spoke, he was furious in his chest, and couldn't help but say again: "Xu Rui used a good means to catch Zuo Meng, and then let the official throw a rat trap, but if he really provoked the official, he didn't want to think about it!" ”

The head of the guard was puzzled: "Why don't you ask the prince directly, he Xu Rui still dares to refute the prince's face?" ”

Wang Yi snorted coldly: "Do you think the King of Liao is the one who opened the Shan Hall?" We just threw ourselves under his door, and we caused such a big trouble without an inch of success, and now Xu Rui has made it clear that he still has a backhand, if you want to count on the King of Liao, hmph, then we will be ready to honestly sell him in the future. ”

"Whoever is coming, don't get off the horse quickly!"

As he was talking, the group had already arrived at the gate of the Apocalypse Guard camp, only to see that the gate of the Apocalypse Guard camp was closed, and the guards were twice as many as usual, and everyone was holding a crossbow and coldly pointing at a few of them, and there was a momentum that they would do it if they didn't agree.

"Okay, you Xu Rui!"

Wang Yi clenched his teeth and shouted angrily in his heart, but he still jumped off the horse with anger, and said loudly: "Wang Yi, the commander of the left guard of the Chinese army, has urgent military affairs to see Xu Rui, the commander of the Apocalypse Guard!" ”

"You wait, I'll report to my family."

The soldier standing guard glanced at them with slanted eyes, and said something matter-of-factly.

Then, he put away his repeater and drilled down from the high arrow tower, while the other sentries still did not relax in the slightest, and the repeating crossbow was aimed at several people without moving.

Several of the pro-soldiers were so angry that their faces were blue, but Wang Yi quickly calmed down.

Although he looks down on Xu Rui, he doesn't think that Xu Rui is an idiot, since Xu Rui dares to make such a big move, there must be something behind it, he must now figure out what Xu Rui is calculating, so that he can find out countermeasures and fight back.

Just as he was thinking, the wooden camp gate suddenly opened, and he saw a row of cavalry neatly lying behind the door.

Wang Yi secretly said in his heart: I didn't hear the sound of horses' hooves just now, and the time is too short, these cavalry obviously can't be just assembled, it seems that Xu Rui has expected that he will come, and he has been waiting for a long time.

Although this platoon of cavalry was wearing green camouflage uniforms, which was quite funny, everyone stood still, and the war horses under their crotches were integrated, like a row of statues.

Wang Yi is also a clear-eyed person, and at a glance, he knows that these cavalry are well-trained elites, and Xu Rui has given himself a dismount.

"Oh, I didn't expect Lord Wang to come in person, my Apocalypse Guard is really brilliant, what are you still stunned for? Don't you know that this is my famous general in the north? Why are you so sluggish? ”

In the middle of the cavalry, a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was dressed in white casual clothes, riding on a horse not like a general leading the troops, but more like a rich boy who went out, who would it be if it wasn't Xu Rui?

The people present were all fully armed, Xu Rui was even more maverick when he dressed like this, compared with the gray face of Wang Yi and his party, he was more calm and calm, and he firmly occupied the top from the heart.

Wang Yi saw Xu Rui's trick at a glance, and then saw him pretending to teach his subordinates, and he couldn't wait to rush up and chop him in two with a knife.

However, as a general, this bit of qi cultivation is not a problem, Wang Yi instantly suppressed his anger and forced out a smile.

"It turned out that Lord Xu was in person, and I heard that my subordinates offended you, and this official came to make amends for him."

Wang Yi's posture was very low, but Xu Rui hurriedly jumped off the horse, and said in fear: "Is there any misunderstanding between the adults and the lower officials?" The lower officials have always been kind to others, and they are obedient, how can they ask you to compensate? When you say that, aren't you slapping the official's face? ”

Seeing Xu Rui's pretentious face, Wang Yi sneered in his heart, but said with a pleasant face: "Oh? Since it was a misunderstanding, it was better for Lord Xu to hand him over and leave immediately, as if this incident had never happened, how about it? ”

"Deliverance?"

An exaggerated look of astonishment appeared on Xu Rui's face: "Who are you for?" Didn't you go to the wrong place? ”

This is playing with Wang Yi nakedly, and the soldiers around him couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw Xu Rui's acting skills so inferior.

Xu Rui hurriedly glanced at everyone, and everyone was stunned.

Several of the pro-soldiers of the left guard of the Chinese army were furious and were about to draw their swords against each other, but Wang Yi was also on fire in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and pressed down.

He raised his hand to drink his own soldiers, and said coldly: "Why is Lord Xu pretending? This official is talking about Zuo Meng, someone saw with his own eyes that the whole army of Tianqiwei was dispatched and captured him and more than 100 soldiers of the left guard of our Chinese army into the camp of Tianqiwei, could it be that Lord Xu still wants to deny it? ”

"Oh, that's what the adults said."

Xu Rui seemed to suddenly realize, and then immediately said with a sad face: "My lord doesn't know, this person robbed the military horses, and injured the sergeant of our army, and was caught by the officer on the spot.

You know, the military horses of the Apocalypse Guard are all personally approved by the Holy Lord, and the left fierce army resisted the decree, intending to rebel, and the lower officials were forced to take him down, and now they are about to escort this thief to the Criminal Department for questioning. ”

Hearing the word "rebellion", Wang Yi was shocked, stared at Xu Rui's smiling face, and sneered.

"Lord Xu, you and I both know the cause and effect of this matter, Wang has repeatedly endured it, you are so inch-inch, if this official accuses you of a arsonist committing murder, you will not be able to eat and walk around!"

"Tsk......"

Xu Rui smacked his lips and said, "What did Lord Wang say?" Zuo Meng's rebellion is to connect the nine clans, the left guard of the Chinese army has such a black sheep, I Tianqiwei will clean up the door for you, so as not to cause you to suffer the great crime of rebellion, how can you take revenge? ”

Xu Rui rebelled on the left and on the right, even if Wang Yi was calm, he was full of anger.

He laughed angrily and said, "Okay, Lord Xu refuses to let go?" Okay, then we'll see you in the palace! ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left, as if he really wanted to enter the palace to complain to the emperor.

"Slow!"

At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly stopped him.

Wang Yi thought that Xu Rui had changed his mind, and turned around with a sneer, but who knew that Xu Rui said with a smile: "It is better for the lower officials to persuade Lord Wang not to enter the palace, Zuo Meng has already confessed to the rebellion." ”

"What?!"

Wang Yi's pupils shrank, and he looked at Xu Rui incredulously.

Xu Rui clapped his hands, and the platoon of cavalry immediately separated to the sides, making way for a passage, and the two soldiers walked out with the dying Zuo Meng.

At this time, Zuo Meng had a blue nose and swollen face, his hands and legs were blurred with blood, his body was covered with shocking whip marks, his mind was not clear, and he muttered in his mouth: "Xu Rui Xiaoer, you dare to humiliate Lao Tzu like this, Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu killed you......"

"Zuo Meng!"

Seeing Zuo Meng's miserable situation, Wang Yi suddenly rushed forward with an arrow, knocked away the two soldiers who were supporting him with a "bang", and hugged Zuo Meng in his arms.

Several pro-soldiers hurriedly drew their long knives and rushed up, protected Wang Yi in the middle, and confronted the Apocalypse Guard.

The soldiers of the Apocalypse Guard were not ambiguous, they all raised their crossbows and aimed them at a few people, and subconsciously looked at Xu Rui, as if as long as he gave an order, no matter who they were, they would shoot them into hedgehogs.

Xu Rui waved his hand and motioned for everyone to put away their weapons, but he walked towards Wang Yi.

"Xu Rui! How dare you murder a member of the court! ”

Seeing that although Wang Meng was not lightly injured, he was not worried about his life, Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and he stared at Xu Rui coldly.

Xu Rui shrugged innocently and said, "Interrogating the rebel below, it's nothing to be punished, right?" ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui pouted behind him, and a civil official in his fifties walked out.

"Who are you?"

Seeing this person's cruel face, Wang Yi suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and frowned and asked.

The civil official arched his hand towards Wang Yi and said, "Lord Qiqi, Zhang Fei, the head of the Criminal Department of the Xiaguan, is here to interrogate the criminals. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, Wang Yi was suddenly like thunder.

Zhang Fei didn't care about his consternation, took out a volume of testimony, and said to himself: "The criminal has confessed to the crime of treason, and the criminal department is about to press him back for interrogation, and I ask my lord not to interfere with official business." ”

Wang Yi glanced at the testimony, only to see that there was an official signature from the Criminal Department on it, plus Zuo Meng did resist the front, and the Criminal Department intervened in the investigation, everything was reasonable and legal.

Once this volume of testimony is sent to the Criminal Department, Zuo Meng may not be able to escape a major crime of rebellion, and the torture is a person from the Criminal Department, Wang Yi is speechless, and it is impossible to even sue Xu Rui for a false accusation or abuse of lynching.

He finally understood that Xu Rui had already thought of all the next moves before he started, which was a direct poke at the death hole, leaving him no room at all.

Realizing Xu Rui's vicious intentions, Wang Yi was extremely angry and quickly calmed down, and now if he wants to save Zuo Meng, there is only one way.

"Lord Xu, Zuo Mengqian shouldn't be, he shouldn't, he shouldn't have resisted the decree and disrespected, and beat the brother of Tianqiwei, but even if he is not in a thousand ways, he will not be guilty to death.

You and I are both the leaders of the troops, as generals, did not die in front of the battle, but died in prison, how sad is this, do you really bear to make the left fierce to death? ”

Wang Yi said this with emotion, and the clear-eyed person knew that he had succumbed to it as soon as he heard it, and he was begging Xu Rui.

Xu Rui looked embarrassed: "Lord Wang is very right, but he has always been loyal to the country in the future, and he can't rub sand in his eyes, you really make it difficult for the lower officials." ”

Seeing that Xu Rui didn't let go, Wang Yi's face turned grim, and he was about to kneel down towards Xu Rui, but Xu Rui hurriedly supported him.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing here?"

Wang Yi said: "The so-called no action or correction, as long as Lord Xu agrees to open the net, Wang Yi and the left guard of the Chinese army will remember the kindness of the adult." ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Hey, Lord Wang, it's not that the lower officials are not accommodating, you didn't see that my brothers were beaten by General Zuo and made them inhuman, let him go, how can I explain?" ”

Wang Yi said: "Wang is willing to pay out of his own pocket to compensate his brothers." ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "If this is the case, it's not impossible, but you know, my brothers are all from poor backgrounds, and they are the pillars of the family, and the family will inevitably be frightened by this accident, if there is no seven or eight hundred thousand taels, I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle it." ”

"Seven or eight hundred thousand taels?!"

Wang Yi's pupils shrank.

"What, don't want to?"

Xu Rui frowned and asked.

"Willingly, the official will contribute 800,000 taels to compensate the brothers who were beaten."

Wang Yi was already swollen and fat at this time, he was not richer than Xu Rui, not to mention 800,000 taels, even 180,000 taels was not something that could be taken by him, this time I am afraid that he would not only be bankrupt, but also in debt.

Xu Rui nodded, and said: "I have few Apocalypse Guards, and I have few equipment, and my brothers are shabby when they go out, this is ......."

"The left guard of the Chinese army is willing to pay 500,000 taels of military salaries and 2,000 war horses to reward the brothers of the Apocalypse!"

Wang Yi is also a bachelor, since he is soft, he will be thorough, and he will talk about it without waiting for Xu Rui to finish speaking.

With the benefits in hand, Xu Rui didn't want to push him too quickly, nodded and said: "Okay, so General Zuo's treason for rebellion will be borne by the lower officials, Lord Wang, the lower officials are under great pressure." ”

"Thank you, Lord Xu!"

Wang Yi gritted his teeth, arched his hand towards Xu Rui, and helped Zuo Meng to stand up.

He seemed to suddenly remember something, pointed to the testimony in Zhang Fei's hand and said, "Lord Xu, those testimonies ......"

Xu Rui patted his head and said suddenly: "Look at my head, Lord Wang rest assured, these testimonies will be personally supervised and destroyed, and there will never be anything unfavorable to Lord Zuo!" ”

Destroyed? With such a naked handle, it is strange that Xu Rui will destroy it, this is to threaten Zuo Meng for a long time, and he is also afraid that he will go back on his word, and then go to the Holy Lord to say.

Wang Yi was furious in his heart, but he couldn't attack.

He endured the emotions that were about to explode, first handed over Zuo Meng to his own soldiers, and then personally led out the more than 100 dejected Chinese army Zuo Guards, which was considered to be a complete end to the matter.

When everything was over, Wang Yi stepped on the war horse and arched his hand towards Xu Rui.

"Lord Xu, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, today's lesson Wang has learned, from now on, Wang will carefully follow the teachings, and strive to be loyal to the country like Lord Xu!"

Wang Yi said the four words of loyalty to the country very seriously, and after speaking, he pulled up the reins and walked away with this group of remnants of the defeated soldiers.

The horse robbery turmoil finally ended with a complete victory for Apocalypse, and it was less than two hours from the incident to the complete settlement, and Apocalypse not only recovered the field, but also scraped a layer of ground fiercely, and each person could get several times the amount of silver equal to the military salary.

A burst of victorious cheers suddenly erupted in the Apocalypse Guard, and the eyes of the generals looking at Xu Rui were full of cordiality and awe, who doesn't like a Shangguan who is short and means?

It was also at this moment that Xu Rui finally truly tied the heart of this new army to himself.

However, at this moment, a scout hurriedly rushed over and said, "My lord, Lord Su, Liu Dudu, and Xiao Shangshu are here!" ”

"So fast?!"

Xu Rui was slightly stunned, and most of his joy suddenly dissipated, and he felt inexplicably empty.
