The master of the boat returned the ruler to his tent, slept for a while, but couldn't sleep, and asked someone to invite his cousin Tuqi, and asked someone to bring roast mutton, and chatted with Tuqi while eating.

Tu Tianqi whispered to Tu Qi: "Seventh brother, you really didn't admit your mistake, the fifth brother is really the Chu man who assassinated Xiangyin, and before going down to the sinkhole, he was quietly released by Guo Wuyuan, the owner of Wanfeng Village, incognito, but he became brothers with us." ”

Tu Qi was shocked: "Really?"

"What's more coincidental is that he was once the guard of the Chu general Yangming, and he will surrender to Yangming together with Xiangzhen, and Xiangzhen will surrender to him. If it succeeds, it will be a miracle. ”

Tu Qi exclaimed: "What a miracle! What do you say? Xiangzhen went to surrender the letter?"

"Exactly. The stakes are high, and there is no other suitable person. ”

Tu Qi gnawed on a piece of meat, and after thinking about it, he said, "Eleventh brother, I have an idea. "Eleven" is the big ranking of Tutian rulers in this family.

"Please. ”

"If you want to say that I am going to deliver the surrender letter, I am the most suitable, let me go!"

Tu Tianqi was taken aback, and said: "Seventh Brother is clever, eloquent, and adaptable, and he is indeed a good material for meticulous work." But if you go, you may not survive. It can be seen that Xiang Zhen has a heart of death. ”

"I said that I would go, and naturally I had my reasons. First, back then, I led someone to arrest the Wu family. Wushan people, that is, Wucheng, he was originally a native of Chu State, and he can still ignore the past suspicions for my country, so why should I be afraid! Second, Xiang Zhen is a boat master Wu Baichang, which is much more important than me. ”

Tutian chewed on his own flesh and did not speak.

"Eleventh brother, let me go! This matter, if it can be done, is a thing that will last for eternity, instead of letting him glorify the Xiang clan, it is better to let my Tu clan glorify!"

Tutian shook his head.

"Besides, it's not that I look down on Xiang Zhen, he has super martial arts, but he is not good at arguing, and if I go, it is many times more likely that Xiang Zhen will be able to succeed and come back safely. I'm going to do it, you can rest assured. "Seven Ways.

Tu Tianqi was reluctant in his heart, and resolutely disagreed, and Tu Qi was pleased.

After years of war, how many times have he struggled on the line of life and death, Tu Tianqi has long been a person who regards death as home, and he was infected by Tu Qi's pride, and said angrily: "It's okay! In today's situation, you and I brothers, it is only a matter of time before we sacrifice our lives for the country!"

Tu Qi smiled: "That's right!"

The two of them immediately got up and went to see Gongzi Menglong.

Xiang Zhen, the only authentic heir of the Xiang clan, is unpredictable, and he can't tell the feeling, after listening to Tu Qi's invitation, he also feels that he is more suitable than Xiang Zhen, he is simply the best candidate, and he is very happy in his heart, and said: "Since Brother Qi insisted, Xiang Zhen has not yet set off, I will let him stay." "I urgently ask for a serious discussion.

Unable to withstand the severe dissuasion of the Menglong, Xiang Zhen had to hand over the errand to Tuqi.

Tu Tian Qi and Tu Qi returned to the camp tent, and it was already late at night.

Tu Tian Qi once again explained some important words, and then, Tu Qi changed into the clothes of the people in the Yelang area that Xiang Zhen had found, put away the letters, and set off immediately.

For the sake of secrecy, only Tutian was sent out of the camp alone.

Under the cover of the night, Tu Qi said: "Eleventh brother, go here, I don't know if I can see you again, I have a word." ”

"Brother Seven, please speak. Tu Tianqi said with mixed feelings.

"A few years ago, the Ding Yan brothers got married to Ruohua, and I heard that Ruohua had half a person in her belly. You and Pan Furong are both the eldest and should get married as soon as possible. On the battlefield, the arrows and swords do not have eyes, and it is impossible to tell which time they will go, and you should also leave a man and a woman behind. Every time I go back to my hometown, everyone asks me to persuade you. ”

Tutian Qi nodded solemnly.

This separation, it is very likely to be a parting of life and death, the relationship between Tu Tian Qi and Tu Qi, even exceeds that with his own brother Tu Nineteen, and Tu Qi is Tu Tianqi's most valued and trusted staff, looking at Tu Qi's back, Tu Tian Qi even regretted agreeing with him to take this risk.

The night completely obscured the shadow and footsteps of Tu Qi, and Tu Tianqi stood for a long time before returning to his tent with a heavy heart, sleepless in the sky.

As soon as the day dawned, Tu Qi entered the deep mountains, mixed in with a group of fleeing merchants and people, and went to Tingziguan from a small road, and the road was blocked by Chu soldiers.

Chu Bing shouted: "All go back!"

Someone replied, "We're going to pass through the pavilion." ”

"The pavilion has been closed, no one is allowed to enter or exit, they have to pass the customs, and they will open and close when Yucheng is broken. Or, you go around the Danfu water. ”

Tu Qi said: "We are here to sell salt from Yelang Country, and your two countries are at war, and the salt has not been obtained, so you are not allowed to return to your hometown, what is the reason? You dog eats dog, what does it matter to us? Why are we not allowed to cross the border? How long does it take to make a detour from Danfushui? How many entanglements? Besides, I heard that there was also a war on that road, and you said it lightly, and the flint did not fall on your instep!"

Chu Jun said: "If you don't leave, let go of the arrows!"

This group of individual passengers knew that they couldn't pass and retreated.

Seeing that Tu Qiyi still did not retreat, Chu Jun shouted loudly: "Is the person below sick? Why don't you retreat? If you don't retreat, you will be taken by the spies!"

Tu Qi said: "I want to see your general comment!"

Sergeant Yichu said angrily: "The saliva is dry, you still don't believe it! If it weren't for the order, you are not allowed to indiscriminately kill the merchants who run slowly, you haven't eaten for a long time! Our general, you can also meet you if you can!"

Tu Qi sneered: "If you don't let me go again, I'm afraid your general's skull will be used for General Yangming's night pot!"

As soon as Chu Jun heard that this was wrong, someone said: "Go and ask the general!"

After a while, a partial general came and asked, "Who are you, dare to enlarge your fart!"

Tu Qi said: "Hurry up and take me to General Yangming, and you will know who I am!"

Someone said to this Chu general: "This person is talking yin and yang, could it be that he is an agent sent by General Yangming?"

The general asked Tuqi: "Are you one of the main generals?"

"If you want to lose your head, I'll tell you!" said Tuqi presumptuously.

Someone else asked, "Do you have a credential?"

Tu Qi scolded: "Do what I do, dare that thing on your body? I want to say that you are stupid and have caused your mother to be involved." ”

The man was red-faced.

This partial general said to Chu Jun: "Look at his cowhide coaxing, let him come up, tie him up, and send him to the main general's camp, if it is wrong, it is not too late to accompany the salute; if it is not wrong, see if he is still a cow, and an axe will be split into two petals!"

Tu Qi was tied into the Pavilion Pass by Wuhua and sent directly to Yang Ming, the chief general of the Chu army. At this time, Yang Ming was playing against the general Qu Rong and talking about things, when someone came in to report that he had caught a little man who was coaxed by a cowhide.

Yang Ming put down the chess piece and said with a smile: "Bring that person in, I want to see and understand." ”

Yang Ming got up as he spoke, and Qu Rong had no choice but to get up.

The warrior Ti Tu Qi entered the camp tent, and before Yang Ming could speak, Tu Qi first shouted: "General, I have a confidential matter to report!"

Yang Ming saw that the person who came was about thirty years old, short in stature, his appearance was average, his eyes were sharp, and he turned with a spirit, so he loosened his ties and said, "If there is a fart, let it go!"

Tu Qi didn't panic, and took out the white clothes with the book of descent written on his body.

Yang Ming took it, glanced at it, and said, "Who are you?"

"My name is Xiang Qi, and I was ordered by Xiang Zhen, the head of the Danfu Water Xiang clan. ”

Yang Ming unfolded the shirt with blood written on it, saw that there were words on it, and looked at it slowly.

The original text of the book is very concise, and it is close to the book of heaven for modern people, and the translation is to the effect:

"General Taoguang:

"The sinner is Wu Cheng, the second son of Wu Zhen, a former historian of the Chu State, who was the general's close guard. In the past, because of his brother's treason, he was afraid of being implicated, so he fled to Qin with his parents, passing through Danfushui.

"I don't want to, in the tea house of the Tu clan, I was taken down by the famous general Xiangyin and his gang and robbed my sister. Fortunately, the sinner went to the inn to drink at that time, and when he learned the news, he caught up with Xiang Yin and his gang, killed Xiang Yin, and rescued my sister.

"Unexpectedly, I was outflanked by the Ba people, captured us and sent to Hu'an Palace. The tiger Amber was not a good person, and he beat his father, mother, and sinners into the sinkhole without asking any questions, and punished his sister as a slave.

"Entering the sinkhole is the most brutal and inhumane way of execution for the Yu clan. When I went down to the sinkhole, fortunately, the then owner of Wanfeng Village and the head of the Tiankeng Prison Camp, Guo Wuyuan, took pity on my family and was wronged, and secretly released me to keep the blood of the Wu family, and my parents were still beaten into the sinkhole, and Yin and Yang were separated from each other.

"The sinner escaped with his life, kept his name incognito, broke his promise to Guo Wuyuan to release me, swore to him not to take revenge on Hu'an Palace, and sought an opportunity to enter Hu'an Palace, kill Hu Anbo, and rescue my sister. But Hu'an Palace was heavily guarded and could not start.

"When I was helpless, I changed to a boat division and planned to think in the long run. Now he has a leader, with more than 100 boat division warriors, and pretended to be brothers with the famous generals Zhu Menglong and Tutian Ruler, and gained their trust. All of this is actually a plan for revenge.

"Hu'an Palace is perverse, and there are many enemies. Among them, there are 500 boatmen in the Sanhekou of Pangu Lake in the Dian family, and his father is good-looking, and he is a doctor, and he is the prime minister of the whole territory of Xiehu Amber. A few months ago, Hu Anbo innocently executed Xiangzhen's father Xiangshan, his brother Xiangmei, and dozens of other members of his clan for the crime of treason.

Although Xiang Zhen saved his life with the strength of everyone, he did not dare to forget the great revenge of killing his father and brother and slaughtering the clan, and he often had fear in his heart, like walking on thin ice, for fear that if he was not careful, he would destroy the clan.

"When the sinner saw that he really had different aspirations, he tried to probe him, and if he had this heart, the two of us secretly became brothers and swore to kill my father's revenge. The two of us have been plotting for a long time for revenge.

At the same time, Xiangzhen also believes that those who know the times are Junjie. The army is pressing, the eggs are finished, the Chu country is destroyed, and it is just around the corner, rather than being martyred for Ba, it is better to raise the clan to join the country as soon as possible. Now, everything is ready for the opportune moment.

"I knew that the general was defeating, and the sinners were overjoyed, and they wanted to come and defect, but I was afraid that the general would still count the past suspicions and send the sinners to Ji Nancheng, and he couldn't make a decision for a while. Now I think of the general's treatment of sinners back then, as parents and children, kindness and affection, unforgettable, so I write this book.

"The current war between the two countries is a God-given opportunity, and sinners are willing to make meritorious contributions. In order to show sincerity, I would like to find an opportunity with Xiangzhen to capture the two tigers of the Dream Dragon and the Heavenly Ruler, and dedicate them to the command, thinking that as a gift of meeting, one of the three major tribes of Dan Fushui will inevitably fall apart - the Dream Dragon is the son of Hu Amber, and the Heavenly Ruler is the leading warrior who captured my family and sent it to the tiger's mouth. These two people are all with me!

"I did this with Xiangzhen, not for the sake of glory and wealth, but for the pity of the general, when attacking Hu'an Mountain, let the two of us be the forwards, kill Hu'an Palace, kill Hu Anbo and others, and enmity with snow and blood!

"Words are short and long, may the general think about them. The time will never be lost! The special henchman delivered the letter, eager to reply.

"The sinner Wucheng and the blood of the sinner, and the blood of the truth, prostrated and offered. ”

After reading it, Yang Ming said with a smile: "It turned out to be a letter from an old acquaintance." He handed the book to Qu Rong, who was watching.

Qu Rong was looking at what was written on his clothes, when Yang Ming suddenly shouted: "Come on, drag this dwarf out and chop it into mashed meat!"
