Chu Liuyan saw that Xu Da was still so unwilling to obey, and he was very anxious, and tears fell unconsciously in his eyes.

Afraid that Xu Da would find out about his gaffe, Chu Liuyan hurriedly lowered his head and secretly reached out to wipe away the tears that flowed on his face for himself.

Chu Liuyan knew that if Xu Da made any decision, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to change his mind, but Chu Liuyan still wanted to persuade him again.

Suddenly, I heard a noise of footsteps outside the door, apparently someone had come to the outside of the cage.

"Master Chu, it's not good, Wu Guogong has come to visit the prison in person, you can quickly hide with me."

"Zhu Yuanzhang is here, how did he get the news." Chu Liuyan's heart tightened suddenly.

Bai Chousheng hurriedly entered the cage, and the prison guards also rushed to the cell. The prison officer gasped and said urgently to Chu Liuyan: "Military advisor, you hurry up and leave with me, if Wu Guogong finds out that I let you come to visit General Xu Da without permission, the villain's head will be moved." ”

Chu Liuyan knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he immediately quickly said to Xu Da: "General Xu Da, what I told you, please think carefully." ”

Xu Da didn't look back, but just responded: "I know." ”

Chu Liuyan didn't expect Xu Da to react like this, and he was stunned for a moment, but the prison guard couldn't help but say, and together with Bai Chousheng, he hurriedly ran out of the cage with Chu Liuyan.

One of the prison guards still locked the prison door, and then ran away, and the other prison guards followed with Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng.

Just ran more than ten steps, I saw the prison officer in front of him turn back, and said to Chu Liuyan: "The military advisor is not good, Wu Guogong has already come in." What can I do now? ”

Chu Liuyan and Bai Chou opened their eyes and looked over the prisoner's shoulders into the distance, only to see a group of people walking slowly with torches not far ahead.

Chu Liuyan pondered for a while and immediately said, "Then let's hide on the wrong road first, and after Wu Guogong passes, we will go out." ”

The jail nodded and said, "That's the only way to do it now." ”

Saying that, the prison servant took Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng and moved to the other side.

Chu Liuyan watched another servant greet him in the direction where Wu Guogong came, and after a while, he saw this prison servant hurriedly walking over with a gloomy face of Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.

After the prison guards beside Chu Liuyan saw that the group had passed, they turned their heads to Chu Liuyan and said, "Military advisor, take advantage of this opportunity, I'll take you and others out quickly." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded and agreed to the prison guard's suggestion, and the prison guard hurriedly ran out of the prison with two people.

On that side, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to open the door of the cell where Xu Da was being held, and he had already entered Xu Da's cell.

"General Xu Da, my lord has come to see you." Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xu Da facing the inner wall of the cell, with his back to him, and he didn't know if he was asleep, so he greeted him first.

Xu Da didn't move, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't, so he had to get close to Xu Da's body, slowly shook Xu Da's shoulder and said, "General Xu Da, my father-in-law came to see you in person." ”

Xu Da stretched out his hand and shook off the hand of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong on his shoulder, leaned back against the wall, and still ignored Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, said disapprehantly: "General Xu Da, did your father-in-law do something sorry for you, you have an opinion on your father-in-law." In fact, the Duke of China is not willing to detain you, but you also know that now there are so many soldiers and horses from Chuzhou outside Yingtian City, and their generals have come to complain to the Duke of China that it must have been General Xu Da who performed some sinister tricks in the middle of the way to make Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, capsize and die, so they are not willing to let you go. Your duke is also taking you into custody for your own safety. ”

Hearing Wu Guogong say this, Xu Da slowly turned around, stared at Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Speaking of which, I want to thank Wu Guogong for his good intentions and saving the last general." ”

As soon as Wu Guogong saw Xu Da turn around, he said: "Actually, this is true, but I still have one more thing to say to Xu Da." ”

Xu Da also smiled and said: "Wu Guogong wants to borrow the head of my neck to pay tribute to the spirit of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, in the sky, so as to subdue the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou and attach them to Wu Guogong." ”

When Wu Guogong heard this, he immediately smiled awkwardly and said: "It does mean this, but General Xu Da, now that the situation in Yingtian is like this, I am also forced to do so, if it is a change of place, I think I am also willing to hand over my head to you, after all, if you want to resolve the conflict, if the two families can share weal and woe and join forces to fight against the enemy, then the people within a radius of hundreds of miles in Yingtian will be exempted from this catastrophe." ”

"Wu Guogong is really able to think about the people, and he actually wants to borrow his brother's head to quell such a huge tide this time, but if I change places, I may only be like this." Xu Da said resolutely.

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this: "I don't want Brother Xu Da to understand the righteousness so well, Zhu Yuanzhang is really guilty, I don't know if Xu Da's words have agreed to my request." ”

Xu Da slowly closed his eyes and said: "If Xu Da's head alone can save the world's lives and hundreds of millions of people, then why should Xu Da pity this head." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was very happy in his heart, and said to Xu Da: "General Xu has always made a promise, so I am relieved." I don't know if General Xu has any unfulfilled wishes. ”

Xu Da said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Then I asked Wu Guogong for something, I don't know if Wu Guogong can do it for me." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Of course, since General Xu is so righteous and can treat me so kindly, I will definitely do it for you, General Xu Da, you can rest assured." ”

Xu Da smiled and said, "If Wu Guogong can fulfill his promise to Xu Da, I, Xu Da, will be relieved even if I go to heaven." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was afraid that Xu Da would regret it, so he immediately said to Xu Da: "If General Xu can sacrifice his life for righteousness like this, General Xu, I can make a poisonous oath about the matter that you want your Duke to take good care of your sister and Chu Liuyan for you." I will definitely do this for General Xu, as long as I, Zhu Yuanzhang, am in the world for a day, I will not allow anyone to hurt your sister and Chu Liuyan. I, Zhu Yuanzhang, swear to heaven that if I violate such an oath in the future, I will be thundered and thundered, and I will not die well. ”

Xu Da smiled with relief and said: "Since Wu Guogong has this poisonous oath, how dare Xu Da not believe it, Wu Guogong, don't worry, what you ask me to do, I will do it as a pair, but it is to use Xu Da's head in exchange for the heart of the Chuzhou soldiers and horses, if Xu Da's head can help Wu Guogong achieve this, it can be regarded as somewhat useful." ”

Xu Dayan smiled sadly at Wu Guogong and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also desolate and sad. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that he would have to order the head of his friend who grew up with him to be cut off today, so as to resolve the crisis through such a thing. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little moist, so he had to turn his head back sharply to prevent Xu Da from seeing it.

However, Xu Da guessed some things from this unusual action of Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong, and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong must be unbearable, so Xu Da still regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as his brother in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely unbearable, knowing that he was a little sorry for Xu Da for doing this, but the current situation is like this, if Xu Da is not sacrificed, it is very likely that he will be implicated, if he is implicated, then the most likely thing is that the entire Chuzhou soldiers and horses will rebel against Yingtian, and at that time, if he does not wait for Chen Youliang, the king of Han, to attack Yingtian, I am afraid that Yingtian will also collapse from the inside, so for these things, Zhu Yuanzhang is also forced to do it.

If Xu Da is let go, Ying Tian may be in chaos, and once the situation is out of control, then the foundation of this point that he has worked so hard to establish will soon be handed over, which is extremely unwilling to be seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

Therefore, Xu Da couldn't escape this kind of doom, and Xu Da was extremely clear about this in his heart, so he didn't make a gesture of refusal in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion, handed over his head to Zhu Yuanzhang, and let Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, follow his head, so that the generals of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, who were on the periphery of Yingtian City, could be attached to the account of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu.

Now Xu Da is most relieved not of his own safety, but of Chu Liuyan.
