"Jiayuan City, it is quite stable at present, after the city was broken, the army was transferred to the front line, and only 3,000 soldiers were left in the city to garrison. However, King Lu had an order to send all the strong men who could fill the army to the front line, so someone ran out. ”

"Oh, I see, although the refugees who have fled in recent days are mostly young and strong men, and when they encounter such in the future, they are all tied up and sent to the prince. ”

"The master of Ma Zhai is really dedicated to the prince, and his future is limitless. ”

"In the future, I need the special envoy to take care of it!"

"Brother Ma, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" The envoy was so happy that he even changed his name for Ma Yun.

"How is the battle situation in Ke City, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, but the dragons are leaderless, where will it be the opponent of the army of the tiger and wolf, if I were the guard, I would have surrendered to the city a long time ago!"

"Haha, what Brother Ma said is reasonable. If the city of Qike can't hold out, it will really take some effort to capture it, but now that its grain route has been cut off, the food in the city will not last for three months, and after three months, it will either go out of the city to fight or open the city and surrender. ”

"In this way, in just two or three months, the prince will be able to take Ke City, and the unification and annexation of the state are just around the corner!"

"That is, the prince's ambition, and the unification and annexation of the state is just the beginning. Those weapons are also the prince's killer moves, and the prince also wants to see how powerful the black iron broadsword is on the battlefield. ”

"Don't worry, if you don't wait for the envoy to go back, bring those weapons with you, and the envoy will have to go back. ”

"So there are Rauma brothers!"

"The envoy looks at how my cottage is, back then, the two thousand soldiers sent by the Jiayuan City Lord failed to attack a single step up the mountain!"

"Haha, this cottage is indeed steep, and it is difficult to attack it from the front. But I have a saying, Brother Ma, don't take it to heart when you hear it. At this time, General Liu, who was guarding Jiayuan City, had more than a dozen boulder carts under his command, and the boulder carts were secretly made by the prince to find Tiangongmen, and he could throw the boulder from a hundred zhang away, which was really a great weapon for attacking the city. In a small cottage like yours, a boulder cart can throw flints directly in front of the gate. Then it will be much easier to attack. ”

"Oh, I see, the prince still has such a sharp weapon, otherwise he can easily capture Jiayuan City. ”

"That is, with that boulder car, it is easy to capture the city of Qike, but the prince is determined to be in the world, and he doesn't want to waste too many troops in the city, so he besieges but does not attack. ”

"Special envoy, having said so much, I still want to make two requests to the prince. ”

"It's easy to say, just say it. ”

"I hope that the prince can give us 20,000 stone of grain and 100,000 taels of silver every year. ”

"What are you talking about!" the envoy who was drinking tea spat out a mouthful of water.

"The owner of our village said that every year we will give the cottage 20,000 stone of grain and 100,000 taels of silver. Qin Ming didn't speak for a long time, and finally seized an opportunity, and said with a glare.

"It's good that the prince doesn't let you hand over the tribute, you actually ask the prince for money, and you want so much, haven't you ever seen money!"

"That's right, Lao Qin, I was born poor, I can't eat enough, and I haven't seen any money. That's why I want to ask the prince for money, what's wrong!" Qin Ming simply stood up.

"You... You... It's a robber!"

"Lao Tzu is a robber now!"

"You..." The envoy was about to get angry, but when he saw Tong Guanshan, he suddenly thought of something, and turned to a smiling face.

"It's easy to say, it's good to say something, everything is easy to discuss. This is the master of the Tong Village, there is a letter here that one of your old people entrusted me to you, so I forgot about it. After saying that, he took out a letter from his bosom.

"My old friend?" Tong Guanshan took the letter with a suspicious look on his face and opened it, and then his face showed a strange look.

"Old boy, what an old man!"

"Brother Qin, don't disturb Brother Tong!" Ma Yun looked at Qin Ming and shook his head.

It didn't take long for Tong Guanshan to finish reading the letter and looked at the envoy with an expressionless face.

"How is it, General Tong, but what the old man said clearly?" said the envoy a little nervously.

"Clear!" Tong Guanshan nodded.

"What is General Tong going to do?"

"What does the envoy want me to do?" Tong Guanshan did not answer, but asked an inexplicable word.

"This... Whether General Tong can come forward or not is your private matter at this time, and it is inconvenient for others to hear it. ”

"Okay!" Tong Guanshan agreed without thinking about it, got up and walked to the envoy's side.

I saw that the envoy muttered a few words next to Tong Guanshan's ear, but his eyes swept over Ma Yun and Qin Ming from time to time.

Not long after, the envoy's words were finished, Tong Guanshan got up and walked back to his seat, as if he suddenly remembered something, and shouted outside the cave, "Drink!"

A moment later, someone brought a jar of wine, Tong Guanshan took the jar and asked people to retreat, and he poured a large bowl of wine and served it.

"This bowl of wine, to my old man, he has the grace of promoting me. When he told me to lay down my weapons and surrender, I surrendered with my men. After saying that, he drank it all and poured another bowl full.

"This bowl of wine, to my dead brothers. When I surrendered with my brothers, many of them were killed, and I am sorry for them, they died because of me. After saying that, he drank it all again, and then directly picked up the wine jar.

"This remaining wine respects the justice of heaven and the righteous hearts of this world. I, Tong Guanshan, think that I am worthy of the old man and the conscience of heaven and earth. Now I am responsible for continuing to follow my brothers. After speaking, he raised the jar and drank it heavily.

Hearing Tong Guanshan's words, the face of the envoy who was originally smiling changed greatly: "Tong Guanshan, what do you mean?"

Tong Guanshan ignored him, raised his head and drank all the wine, threw the jar aside, and then said hatefully: "Although the city lord of Tong'an is kind to me, I have already repaid it once with my life and that of my brothers;

"Brother Tong, that's good!" Ma Yun clapped his hands on the side.

In fact, he heard the words whispered in Tong Guanshan's ear clearly, not that he intended to listen, but that his ears were too sharp, and when he realized that it was not appropriate to deliberately focus his attention elsewhere, the envoy's words had already been finished.

"You... Are you going to rebel, aren't you afraid that the prince will send troops to destroy your cottage, but the prince has a boulder... It's not good! A few villains, Fang just used words to deceive me into telling some secrets, it's really hateful!" The envoy finally understood the reason why Ma Yun was so polite to him, and his anger was like thunder.

"Hmph, what if you know, you'll have to know sooner or later anyway. Now that you know, be honest with me. The prince's boulder cart leveled your cottage effortlessly, and now you are obediently cooperating, and I will not blame the past for what just happened. The envoy spoke a lot louder.

"Cooperate with you!" Qin Ming rubbed a kick on the envoy's body, and the envoy fell to the ground and rolled around like a ball.

"Oh you dare to beat this envoy, who wants to turn this thief village to ashes!" shouted the envoy as he lay on the ground.

"Turned to ashes? Old Qin, I'll take out your fat now, light it into a sky lantern, and see who turns into ashes first. After saying that, he picked up a knife and walked over.

"Daxia spares my life, I'm just a little messenger, just a messenger, everything has nothing to do with me! You just let me go!" This envoy was arrogant and domineering a moment ago, who would have thought that he would become timid as a mouse in the next second.

"Let you go, my mine just lacks mining, it's a pity that you don't go to mining with this fat body!" Qin Ming said with a cruel smile.

"A few heroes, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and everyone in my family is counting on me to feed them, so please do well, and let me go as a fart! I must remember the kindness of several heroes when I go back!" The envoy actually lay on the ground and kowtowed.

"Owner of the village, tie this fat goods to the gate of the village, if someone comes to attack, the boulder cart will be the first to smash on him!" Qin Ming came up with another crooked idea.

"The hero spares his life, as long as the hero spares his life, I... I'm willing to tell a secret!"

"Let's talk about it first, if it's still important, I'll spare you!" Ma Yun said with interest.

"Lord Wang... The prince is a master!"

"Master, how tall is it, is it as tall as Lao Tzu!" Qin Ming became even more angry when he heard this.

"It's... That's what happened, listen to me slowly. The fat envoy waved his hands in a hurry.

"A few years ago, I went out hunting with the prince, and suddenly killed a group of people in black, that group of people had extremely high martial arts, and it didn't take long to kill all the guards around the prince, and even I was hit by a sword in my heart, leaving the prince alone. Who would have thought that the prince would kill all the men in black by himself. ”

"Since you have a sword in your chest, how can you not die, how can you know that the prince killed the man in black? Are you a fool when you think of Qin Ye?" Qin Ming kicked the fat man after speaking.

"That's right, I'm born with a heart on the right side, unlike ordinary people, I pretended to pass out immediately after being hit by the sword, but in fact I didn't really faint, and I heard the man in black screaming repeatedly, so I dared to squint. I just saw a man in black slash a big knife at the back of the prince's neck, but the prince was unharmed, and punched through the man's body with a punch. After saying that, the fat man actually took off his upper clothes, and there was a three-inch scar on the left side of his heart.

"What you said is true?" Tong Guanshan asked in a deep voice.

"Of course it's true, although I know about it, I don't dare to talk nonsense. The prince has been pretending not to know martial arts in front of outsiders, and if he finds out that I know his secret, he will definitely kill people. ”

"Then how did you deceive King Lu?" asked Ma Yun thoughtfully.

"I was so anxious that I lost so much blood that I literally passed out. I don't know what happened later, I heard that the prince sent someone to clean up the body, and when I was about to be buried, I found that I still had a breath and saved me. ”

"A master is a master, Qin Ye is not interested in this. ”

"It's... This... Everything that should be said has been said, let the heroes spare their lives!" The fat man lay on the ground and pleaded.

Suddenly, Ma Yun smelled a disgusting smell, and after a closer look, the fat man was so frightened that he was incontinent, smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "Okay, spare your life, go down the mountain!"

"The owner of the village, do you really want to spare him?" Qin Ming asked suspiciously.

"The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill him, there's no point in killing him, let him go!" Listening to Ma Yun's words, Tong Guanshan nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The fat envoy climbed out of the cave, and his clumsy body didn't know where to get the strength at this time, and he actually flew down the mountain.

"Two big brothers, the envoy is gone, I'm afraid that the army will arrive soon, the focus is on the boulder car, we have to prepare well!" Ma Yun's extremely resolute eyes revealed a trace of fanaticism and expectation.

"War, what would it be like?" he asked himself.
