521 Charcoal in the snow
Lord Wang, it's not me who scolds you, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about me.
Nighthawk muttered silently in his heart, how could this errand be spread on his head, and what evil he had done in his previous life.
"Brother for so many years, it's not an outsider to say this. Xing Qiang removed the smile from the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Since you are talking about Hu Kun, then I am tired to ask my brother, what do you think of the path that Hu Kun has chosen now?"
Nighthawk looked at him suddenly, thought for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"
Xing Qiang stood up and said while pacing: "I'm afraid that brother, you will follow in the footsteps of Hu Kun, he will no longer follow the prince, so he has a way out, otherwise he is only a centurion now." Where are you? Do you want to climb up from the creep? Brother, how young are you? Perhaps, even if you work hard all your life, you will never be able to return to your former position. Think about it, when the king of Chu ascends to the emperor, what are you? Do you want to guard the city gate?"
Nighthawk hesitated, and said in fear: "The prince won't do this to me." β
"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking, take it as a warning. β
Nighthawk was secretly happy in his heart, and pretended to be panicked, "Then what should I do?"
The corners of Xing Qiang's mouth couldn't hold back a smile, "I think my brother is a talent, so I'll give you some pointers." He pointed in the direction of Pingjing Pass, "Surrender to Lord Hu Kun, with your conditions, you will definitely rise to prominence." β
When he finally said this, Nighthawk lowered his head in the darkness, and no one could see the sneer flashing in his eyes, "You can't talk nonsense, I have been loyal to the prince for many years, and I will never betray him." β
Stop, "Besides, how can I surrender to him, with his suspicion, I can't even enter the door of Pingjing." β
"If you believe me, I'll take care of it. Xing Qiang was full of confidence and a little proud.
Nighthawk raised an eyebrow slightly, "Over to you?
Xing Qiang said solemnly: "We can also be regarded as bosom brothers, I will show my bottom with you, I have already taken refuge in King Qi and continue to stay here, but it is because King Qi needs to arrange a pair of eyes here for King Chu." You used to be the confidant of the King of Chu, if you took refuge in the King of Qi and did things for him, you would also be a marquis and a prime minister in the future. β
Nighthawk smiled softly, the lightest laugh of the night.
Xing Qiang thought he didn't believe it, "What, you don't believe me? Do you know why the king of Chu has sent troops these times? Why did the rear camp suddenly catch fire?"
"You did it. Nighthawk slowly rose from his bed.
Xing Qiang's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at Nighthawk in surprise, "You-you're okay?"
Suddenly, a fire rose outside the tent, and he realized that he had been trapped.
He was about to run when the guards who surrounded him stopped him, put a knife on his neck, and forced him to retreat step by step into the tent.
"Lord, this time I have suffered a great sin, you have to write down my merits. Nighthawk dragged his heavy ass to Xiao Junjue's side, and the night owl set him up, "I'm sorry brother, I wronged you, I also told me just now." β
Xing Qiang had a brother before, and he was about to vomit when he heard the nighthawk, but at this time, the brother of the night owl felt very comfortable.
Matsukita looked ashamed and pressed Nighthawk's shoulder hard, "I'm sorry. β
Nighthawk touched his face, it really hurt, he is not a careful person, Lang Lang smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, I have to thank you, just because of your punches, it seems more real." β
Xing Qiang slammed on the ground in a panic, "Lord, Lord, spare your life." β
At this juncture, it was useless to shout how much to spare his life, and that night, Xing Qiang was beheaded, and his head was hung outside the gate to show the public.
Xing Qiang is also regarded as the old department of Rongzhao in the early days, and later Xiao Junjue dispatched the Northwest Army, and he followed.
Back then, they were also brothers who were born and died together, but in the face of power and wealth, the past love has long been annihilated.
In fact, when he knew that there was a spy, Xiao Junjue once suspected him, in the old days, he and Hu Kun were brothers, but now in the face of Hu Kun's hostility, he is very suspicious.
Nighthawk really suffered to catch him, and the next day Rong Zhao couldn't stop smiling when he saw Nighthawk's dark eyes.
"Princess, your subordinates are doing things for you, and they really did their best to die, what do you mean by being so sneering now? Do you know that this hurts me?"
In order to reward Nighthawk for his contribution this time, Rong Zhao called him over for dinner early in the morning and prepared a sumptuous breakfast to compensate him.
Rong Zhao wiped the corners of her mouth, she also felt that she was not smiling kindly, so she restrained her face, and picked up her chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Nighthawk, "I worked hard for you last night, come, eat more." β
Nighthawk looked at the dishes in the bowl and pouted, "I was kicked by the prince a few times, beaten by Songbei, and beaten a hundred times with a military stick, and the princess sent me away with this little thing, which is really trouble-free." β
I really suffered a lot, and when I sat down just now, Rong Zhao gave him a soft cushion, and he was still grinning in pain.
Even if he usually likes to fight with him, Rong Zhao can't say it at this time.
"Then I'll ask Lu Heling to get you the best gold sore medicine. β
"Crane Ling has already put it on me yesterday. β
"Then I'll let the prince give you a great credit. β
"That's as it should be. β
"Then I'll let the Huotou Camp make you something to eat. β
"I'm not gluttonous. β
Give him three points of color, and he also opened a dyeing workshop.
People are meritorious, others are guilty, Rong Zhao silently muttered in his heart, calming the anger that was about to surge.
"And what do you want?"
Nighthawk bit his chopsticks, shook his head and thought about it, and finally fell on Rong Zhao's stomach and smiled with a hippie smile, "Hehe, nothing else, that is, if the princess is a daughter, she has to be my daughter-in-law." β
Xiao Junjue paused and looked at him, and Rong Zhao also looked at him. The air condensed for a moment, and Nighthawk coughed awkwardly to ease the atmosphere, "I'm talking and playing, talking and playing." Actually, I am willing to do anything for the prince, what kind of merit, too superficial, I have done my best to the prince and died, as long as the prince gives an order, I am willing to do anything Nighthawk. β
Xiao Junjue let out a faint "um", and then withdrew his gaze, "Since you are so loyal, forget about it this time." β
"Ahem...... cough ...... "Nighthawk choked directly."
Lord Wang, you are still ruthless, and my beating is in vain.
Rong Zhao laughed, what is this called, stealing chickens does not make rice, lifting stones and hitting his own feet.
She touched her belly, Mingchen of the Nighthawk family is a good one, if she gives birth to a daughter, it will be good to match them to their family, so that she will be in-law with Qiushui.
The longan lotus seed soup made this morning, Rong Zhao gave Xiao Junjue a bowl, there have been too many things recently, he is on fire, and his mouth is peeled, drink this Runyirun.
After serving it to Xiao Junjue, Rong Zhao filled another bowl and handed it to Nighthawk, "Oh, don't say that I didn't reward you, this is made by this princess and served to you by herself." β
Nighthawk quickly stood up and took it, "With the reward of the princess, I am content." Boasting in his mouth, he secretly said in his heart, what a pair of iron roosters who don't even pluck their hair.
Xiao Junjue wiped her mouth after drinking the soup and patted Rong Zhao's back, "You eat so well, I still have something to do." By the way, I touched her belly.
"Hmm. Rong Zhao smiled and agreed.
When Nighthawk saw that the prince had finished eating, he drank the soup in a slippery manner, took another bun and went out with him.
As soon as the two of them left, they were deserted all of a sudden, and Rong Zhao was not interesting to eat by himself, so he asked Allure to accompany her to eat.
The spy has been removed, and now it is up to Zhongli to see if he can persuade Zhang Shaocheng to return to obedience. Xiao Junjue has not sent troops in the past few days, firstly, to wait for news, and secondly, because there is a shortage of grain and grass now, so he cannot rashly send troops to fight.
On this day, the night owl was ordered to collect grain and grass early in the morning, but at this time, as soon as Xiao Junjue finished eating, he came back, and brought back a person later.
"King Wei?" Nighthawk saw the person coming and looked at Xiao Junjue.
Xiao Junjue stepped forward, and Xiao Xuanqi gave him a hug when he met, "Brother Huanghuang, I haven't seen you for many years." β
The years seem to treat these two brothers very favorably, even after a few years, they are still the same as before, except for a little more maturity, there is no difference.
"I thought it would be a while before you arrived. Xiao Junjue directly invited him into the account.
"I received news a few days ago, saying that the army of the king of Chu was robbed and the grain and grass were burned out, knowing that you are short of grain and grass, how dare I delay, I will lead the leading troops to send you grain and grass first. Xiao Xuanqi has changed a lot over the years, she used to always look unruly, but now she has become easy-going. Also, I was a teenager at that time, but now I have a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter, and my mentality is different.
"Oh?" Xiao Junjue's eyes lit up, and her sad face began to smile, "That's great." β
The night owl said: "My subordinates have already asked people to send grain and grass to the back camp, and sent cronies to guard it. β
Xiao Junjue pressed Xiao Xuanqi's shoulder, "You came here, but you helped me a lot." β
Xiao Xuanqi also put his arm around his shoulder, "Brothers say this? What is happening now? I heard that there is Hu Kun in Pingjing Pass, and he has set up a nine-character chain formation to hinder you from passing?"
"Well, the nine-character chain array is extremely lethal, and I don't dare to act rashly. Xiao Junjue asked him to sit down, "But now there is a way to solve it." It's just that they didn't move for a while, because of the lack of food and grass in the army, the soldiers were barely satisfied, but the war horsesβ"
Xiao Junjue took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, there is really no forage to feed the horses in the past two days." β
"Then I came at the right time. Xiao Xuanqi smiled brightly, "I have already sent someone to send grain and grass in the future, don't worry about this royal brother." β
Xiao Xuanqi's arrival, for Xiao Junjue and for Chu Wangjun, is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, "Send grain, grass and soldiers and horses, how can I thank you?"
"Xie can't talk about it, the fifth brother has done a lot of injustice, and if I do this, it can be regarded as a contribution to all the people in the world. But my strength is nothing compared to yours. Xiao Xuanqi patted Xiao Junjue's hand, "Brother Huang, you should have sat on this throne a long time ago." β
