Chapter 125: Reckoning
Xu Da said while pushing away the pro-soldiers, and wanted to jump into the river, but a pro-soldier saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly hugged Xu Da from behind.
The sky became darker and darker, and the wind rushed onto the boat with the momentum of wind and thunder and huge waves, and Xu Da and his soldiers were unstable on their feet, and were overturned on the ground by a hammer.
Xu Da looked at a few small floating black dots in the river in a daze, and shouted: "King Xiao Ming is waiting for me!" ”
Then he jumped into the river and threw himself into the river.
"General Xu Da can't."
"Stop General Xu." Bing Yong shouted bitterly, and several people hurriedly jumped into the water and went to the water to save Xu Da.
The wind and waves were too strong, and a few soldiers who went to the water to save Xu Da almost suffered a catastrophe, but fortunately, there were also a few who knew the water, and everyone put Xu Da to the side of the boat and pushed him onto the boat.
As soon as he got on the boat, Xu Da struggled to jump into the river again, and the soldiers on the side of the boat hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Da's body together, pulling Xu Da away from the side of the boat, and pulled him directly into the cabin.
Xu Da struggled for a while, knowing that he couldn't break free, so he had to ignore it and let his soldiers pull him into the cabin.
After a group of soldiers surrounded Xu Da in the cabin, they immediately knelt down and said to Xu Da with tears in their eyes: "General Xu, King Xiao Ming unfortunately suffered from this evil, it is God who has no eyes, and it is definitely not General Xu Da's loss, please General Xu Da do not commit suicide." ”
Xu Da said in pain: "Don't stop me, I came to Chuzhou on the order of Wu Guogong to welcome King Xiao Ming to Yingtian, but now King Xiao Ming is swept away by the wind and waves here, although God has no eyes, but Xu Da is also to blame." You should wait for me to throw myself into the water and follow the old master! ”
At that moment, one of the guards spoke: "General Xu, don't act like this. King Xiao Ming's death here is also a fateful number, how can it be General Xu's fault. Moreover, we also saw that King Xiao Ming's boat was overturned by the wind and waves, and the soldiers and brave men of the boat were swept into the river with King Xiao Ming, only General Xu escaped from the bottom of the boat, this is the favor of heaven, if the general asks General Xu to think twice. ”
The other soldiers kneeling in the cabin also echoed this person and begged Xu Dawe: "Please General Xu think twice." ”
Xu Da just stared at it and didn't say a word.
Bing Yong was a little anxious, and cried more and more loudly begging Xu Da not to commit suicide.
"General Xu, if you also die on this river with King Xiao Ming this time, I will definitely be regarded as unfavorable by Wu Guogong after I go back, and the military law is engaged, I and others are soft-spoken, and they may not even have a way to defend themselves, I implore General Xu for the sake of our pity, or accompany us to respond to the heavenly report to know Wu Guogong first."
Xu Da looked at the group of men who couldn't tell whether there was rain or tears on their faces, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I went to Chuzhou with a military order to welcome King Xiao Ming to Yingtian, and now that King Xiao Ming is dead, I will not hesitate to die and die, but Wu Guogong is still waiting for news in Yingtian, so I have to reluctantly respond to the situation in Tianbao first, and let it be dealt with by military law." As for the fact that you are not at fault this time, Xu Da will definitely take all the fault on his own head, and will never implicate you in the slightest. ”
"We are also willing to follow Xu Dajun in life and death." When the sergeant heard that Xu Da was so righteous and responsible, he couldn't help but admire it very much, and his tears were overflowing.
"It's okay, this time Xu Da will leave this immortal body for the time being, and respond to the heavens and listen to Wu Guogong's fate." Xu Da said with a sigh.
When a group of people returned to Yingtian in despair, someone had already reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, in advance, and after the news spread, there was even more uproar inside and outside Yingtian City.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was grieved when he heard the news of King Xiaoming's death, so he ordered to hang filial piety in the Heavenly City for a month, and raise the city to pay tribute to King Xiaoming.
The first thing Xu Da did after returning to Yingtian City was to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.
Xu Da ordered to go to Chuzhou with him to welcome King Xiaoming's soldiers, tied his hands behind his back, detained himself and went into the mansion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, to plead guilty.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses from Chuzhou outside Yingtian City were really staring at him outside the city, and they all wanted to see how he dealt with Xu Da.
So when Xu Da entered with some soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang had no color on his face and did not get up to greet him.
For these signs, Xu Da knew as soon as he saw the face of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.
The disaster still can't be avoided, and Xu Da has already made a decision in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't move, but Chu Liuyan was extremely excited, because before he went, Chu Liuyan had said to Xu Da that he hoped that Xu Da would be able to return to Yingtian as soon as possible, so as soon as he heard the news that Xu Da had returned to Yingtian, Chu Liuyan ran back from outside the city non-stop, but when she came to see Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da had not yet arrived, so Chu Liuyan was desperate to stay.
Of course, Chu Liuyan also knew that Xu Da's response to Tiantian this time was really thankless, because more than 100,000 people from Chuzhou had just come from outside Yingtian City, these people were Liu Futong's old generals, and they were also under the command of King Xiao Ming for a long time. asked him to deal with General Xu Da, the culprit of this matter.
"General Xu Da, you shouldn't be here today." Because there were no Chuzhou generals in Wu Guogong's mansion, Chu Liuyan said with some complaints as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xu Da knew that Chu Liuyan was willing to let him escape, so he said gratefully: "Master Chu, it is reasonable and reasonable, Xu Da must be responsible for this matter, and he can't help but come to Yingtian." ”
Chu Liuyan was speechless, so he had to look at Xu Da heavily, knowing that Xu Da was such a person.
