"Why did the ginger sacrificial wine say goodbye? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Governor's manners? Just when the tension was about to start, Yu Chi Baolin showed a smiling face.

His voice was kind, and the expression on his face was even kinder, not at all like he was going to kill them.

Could it be that his conscience suddenly found out?

Of course not! For example, today everyone in the Celestial Mansion has fallen into his trap, and life and death are only in an instant. He said this just to play a trick on them.

Just like a cat treats a mouse, it is said that after catching a mouse, the cat will not eat it directly, but will first play with it until it scares the mouse to the point of breaking its heart.

He wanted to scare Jiang Shenzhou, but Jiang Shenzhou looked relaxed: "How dare you, Governor Wei Chi brought so many people to see us off, how can we say that the etiquette is not good." ”

"The ginger sacrificial wine is really reasonable." Wei Chi Baolin showed a worried expression and said: "Actually, Liangzhou is not very peaceful these days, and the governor can't rest assured, so he has to personally lead the troops to send you on the road." ”

When he said the word "on the road", he deliberately dragged out his voice very long, and the implication was self-evident.

Jiang Shenzhou was still smiling: "We understand the good intentions of the governor, and when we return to Chang'an, we will definitely boast about the merits of the governor to the imperial court." ”

He also learned from Yu Chi Baolin's tone, and dragged out the sound of the word "meritorious" for a long time.

Yu Chi Baolin's face changed, but she quickly regained her composure, shook her head and said, "Chang'an is still far away, how do you know that you will definitely be able to go back?" In my opinion, you can't go back. ”

Jiang Shenzhou stared into his eyes and asked, "Oh, if we can't go back, how does the governor plan to explain to the imperial court?" ”

"Of course, the Governor will tell the truth."

"How do you tell the truth?"

"The truthful report is: The people of Tiance Mansion encountered the enemy army on the way back, and because they were outnumbered, the whole army was annihilated, and the bones were searched everywhere to no avail."

"It's rare for the governor to be so thoughtful, and even how we died has been arranged."

"Of course, the Governor said he would personally send you on his way, and the Governor has always done what he said!"

Jiang Shenzhou only smiled bitterly and asked, "We have no choice, right?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin laughed and said, "Jiang Xijiu is a smart person, what do you think?" Do you still have a choice? ”

He was laughing, but he had clearly lost his patience.

As he laughed, his hand slowly raised, and as soon as his hand was lowered, two hundred crossbowmen would pull the crossbow machine. When the time comes, all will be shot as hedgehogs.

Jiang Shenzhou had already guessed this ending, but he had nothing to do.

In fact, when the words of the two were-for-tat, he began to think about ways to get out of trouble.

He racked his brains, but found that there was no way at all, and the current situation was that there were pursuers in the back, and there was an ambush in front, and there were straight and hard mountain rocks on both sides. There was no place to hide, and there was no fork in the road to escape.

This is also the reason why Yu Chi Baolin chose this place, because there is really nowhere to escape here.

Since they can't escape, the people of Tiance Mansion have only one end - death!

"Looks like we're all going to die." Jiang Shenzhou looked at Qin Sheng and smiled, he smiled bitterly.

"We didn't die in the desert, but we want to die here." Qin Sheng looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm sorry, if I had been a little more cautious, maybe ......"

"You don't have to blame yourself." Qin Sheng said calmly: "Actually, it's not bad here, you see the beautiful scenery here, it's good to be buried here." ”

Jiang Shenzhou smiled, when he was lost on the grassland, he had said something similar.

Qin Sheng is right, this river valley is quiet and quiet, the river water is green, the beach is white, the reeds on the bank of the river are swaying with the wind, and there are birds chasing and playing between the mountains and rocks.

But suddenly, a loud trumpet sounded, and the tranquility of the valley was shattered.

The sound of the trumpet came from the top of the mountain, and there was already a group of knights on the top of the mountain, the armor was bright and dazzling, the sword was shining coldly, and everyone was heroic and majestic.

Except for the one in the middle, who wore no armor and did not have any weapons in his hands, but he stood out more than anyone else.

Because he is the prince of the dynasty - Li Que, the king of Yongliang County!

Seeing Li Que, Jiang Shenzhou smiled.

"The prince has an order! Everyone, put down their weapons! Otherwise, you won't be killed! A loud voice came from the top of the mountain, and Ge Shu Yanlie also came, and he was beside Li Que.

What he said was the order of the prince, and the order of the prince was never in doubt!

But the Liangzhou army did not make any movement, every soldier was always motionless, as soldiers, they have always obeyed the orders of only one person - Chi Baolin, the governor of Liangzhou.

However, will Yu Chi Baolin obey Li Que's orders? After all, it will be outside, and the monarch's order will not be affected.

He didn't obey the order, but he didn't give the order to attack, he just stood still, as if hesitating.

Just as he was in a dilemma, the royal guards had already entered the valley from the top of the mountain. As soon as the guards entered the river valley, they lined up in a long line, forming a human wall between the people of Tiance Mansion and the Liangzhou army.

Then, Jiang Shenzhou saw Li Que walking through the Liangzhou army formation alone and walking towards him alone.

The crossbowmen of the Liangzhou army were still holding their crossbows with murderous vigour. But Li Que ignored them as if they were nothing. One of his faces was still cold, without a hint of a smile or any other expression, just the majesty and pride of the royal family.

"Why do things always happen where you're there?" Coming closer, Li Que asked with a frown.

"I don't know, maybe I'm a scourge." Jiang Shenzhou shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"You're a little self-aware." Li Que said.

"It's not that I'm self-aware, it's that I can't think of anything else than that." Jiang Shenzhou said with a wry smile.

In front of the two armies, when life and death were at stake, the two actually joked with a relaxed face.

"You're not going to tell me what's going on?" After a while, Li Que asked seriously.

"It's hard to put it into words......"

"Long story short."

"I'll try my best......" Jiang Shenzhou sighed and briefly explained what happened.

After listening to this, Li Que was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Wait for me here." As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and walked towards Wei Chi Baolin.

Li Que and Wei Chi Baolin talked face-to-face, because they were too far away, so Jiang Shenzhou couldn't hear what they were saying.

What happened next, Jiang Shenzhou would never have dreamed of.

Yu Chi Baolin actually withdrew his troops. I saw him wave his hand, and the Liangzhou army, which was originally motionless, actually put down their weapons, they lined up in an orderly manner, and withdrew step by step out of the river valley, and it didn't take long for there to be no enemy in the entire river valley.

The people of Tiance Mansion were finally saved, but Jiang Shenzhou still had many problems in his heart.

What exactly did they say? Why did Yu Chi Baolin withdraw his troops? Didn't he know the consequences of doing so?

The answer to this question can only be answered by Li Que.

"I'm curious, how the hell did you convince him?" Jiang Shenzhou couldn't help but ask.

By this time they had already left the valley, not far from which was a flat road, and although it was late autumn, the afternoon sun was still warm, so warm that people couldn't help but want to close their eyes and enjoy this rare comfort.

"I didn't convince him." Li Que said: "I just told him that if he doesn't withdraw his troops, he will be my enemy." ”

Jiang Shenzhou asked: "Have you ever thought about what if he really dares to be your enemy?" ”

Li Que said coldly: "He has thousands of people, and I only have about fifty people, what do you think?" ”

His meaning is already very clear, if he really does it, not only the people of Tiance Mansion, but even Li Que is afraid that he will die here, Jiang Shenzhou only now understands how dangerous the scene just now is. He could only sigh: "Fortunately, Yu Chi Baolin didn't jump off the wall in a hurry, if he ......"

Before he could continue, Li Que interrupted: "Without ifs, it is impossible to escape the capital crime of murdering the royal family, he does not have the guts." ”

Jiang Shenzhou asked, "Could it be that the crime he committed in Liangzhou is not a capital crime?" ”

Li Que sneered and said, "He committed a capital crime, but he won't die." ”

"Why?" Jiang Shenzhou was puzzled.

"Because his father, Wei Chi Gong, is the founding father of the country, and once this matter is made public, it will not only endanger the safety of the entire Liangzhou, but also make the imperial court lose face."

As a prince, Li Que certainly knows the inside of the court better than Jiang Shenzhou, and his meaning is very simple: the face of the court is more important than anything else, so Yu Chi Baolin will not die at all.

Li Que continued: "Now you understand, it is impossible for the imperial court to pursue it at all, they usually have only one way to deal with this kind of thing, and their way is to ......"

Jiang Shenzhou said for him: "It's to cover up this matter." ”

Li Que glanced at him and said lightly: "It's good that you know." ”

Jiang Shenzhou's eyes looked into the distance in confusion, and in the distance was a mountain shrouded in heavy clouds and mist, just like his mood now, he was also shrouded in gloomy clouds.

"Even so, I must expose his crimes!" Qin Sheng couldn't help but say, although she also understood what Li Que meant, how could she let Yu Chi Baolin go like this. This person not only killed countless people, but also caused more than half of the people in Tiance Mansion to be killed and injured.

Li Que glanced at her and said coldly: "Of course you can do this, but everything is in vain." ”

"But......" Qin Sheng was about to refute, but Li Que suddenly interrupted her: "No, but!" That's the way of the world, are you just discovering it now? ”

Qin Sheng stopped talking, of course she was not convinced, but she didn't want to argue with Li Que either, after all, he had just saved herself.

Li Que didn't speak again, the air suddenly quieted down, and only the crisp sound of horses' hooves still sounded.

Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ......

The group walked for a long time, seeing the red sun falling in the west, the sunset was full of sky, and people who could be seen returning home with hoes and baskets on their backs along the way.

Where there are people, there is a city, and this is a small and inconspicuous county town. Although the county seat is small, there are inns with delicious meals, warm hot water, and clean mattresses.

For those who have slept all the way, what could be more to look forward to.

What's more, this is no longer the boundary of Liangzhou, and the threat of Yu Chi Baolin no longer exists. In fact, from the moment Li Que appeared, Yu Chi Baolin was no longer a threat.

Looking at the clouds in the sky, Jiang Shenzhou couldn't help but sigh: "You seem to have saved me again." ”

Li Que said indifferently: "There is no difference between you and me, you can't die yet." Although his expression was cold, there was warmth in his eyes.

Jiang Shenzhou said disappointedly: "Alas...... I thought you were here to save me, but I didn't expect you to let me down because of the gambling contract. He shook his head deliberately, and pretended to be sad and lost.

Li Que smiled and did not speak.

In the blink of an eye, the earth was shrouded in twilight.

When twilight fell, the group had entered the city gates.
