After a few salutes, Tang Jingtian informed them of the news that Shi Ziling had come in person, and said: "Fang Zhenren, Shi Ziling's reputation is now in full swing, I can't imagine that the east not only refused to withdraw this time, but also sent Shi Ziling to negotiate in person, which is a bit troublesome." ”

Fang Wei had fought with Shi Ziling, and knew that Shi Ziling was powerful, and when he heard that Shi Ziling was coming, he couldn't help frowning, so he had to turn his gaze to Senior Brother Fang Wuming to see what he would do.

Fang Wuming smiled and said: "What's the trouble with this, Shi Ziling came alone, thinking that he wanted us to release people with the little prestige he had recently broken through? What a joke! Even if he led an army of 100,000 to come? Tang Wang, you are strong and strong, and you are still afraid that he will not succeed?"

Tang Jingtian's second son, Tang Yichao, said: "Fang Zhenren is right, although Shi Ziling has a reputation, but he came alone, what are we afraid of? The eldest brother died at the hands of Shi Ziling, if he dares to trespass into our territory without permission, we just give him a little color!"

Tang Jingtian frowned and said: "Yifei was defeated and killed in a fair martial arts competition, according to the rules of martial arts, we have no way to take Shiziling." Shi Ziling came to negotiate with us this time as the commander of the Songhu Legion, and if we were too embarrassed by him, we were afraid that we would have a deep enmity with the east. ”

Tang Jingtian's second brother Tang Xiaokun is the commander of the Zhongzhou Legion, he said: "I heard that Shi Ziling is not only a martial arts wizard, but also a rare leader general, it is said that the city defenders and the Songhu Legion under his command are highly disciplined and have unique tactics, and many spies have reported that the combat effectiveness of the Songhu Legion may be stronger than many old legions in the United States, and I don't know if the Dao is true or false?"

Tang Yichao said disdainfully: "Shi Ziling is young, even if he has some strength, it is impossible to be as powerful as rumored, as for the difficulty and profundity of leading the troops, it is not under the martial arts, he has only been a novice for a few days with soldiers, what can he understand?"

Tang Xiaokun said namelessly: "Fang Zhenren, we arrested Zhao Xiong and Nangong Tai, the original intention was to force them to withdraw as soon as possible and break up the joint crusade between the imperial court and the local government, and we didn't want to have a direct fight with the east or south, now it seems that this move seems a bit reckless." ”

Fang Wuming was a little displeased when he heard this, the idea of catching Zhao Xiong and Nangong Tai was the first to be put forward by him, and it was his junior disciple Fang Wei and many disciples of Ruyi's sect who did it, and now that Tang Xiaotian said this, he obviously regretted doing it a little.

Fang Wuming said lightly: "Just a stone tomb will come when he comes, how much can he do? You don't need to worry, Zhao Xiong was caught by our Ruyi Gate, if Shi Ziling wants to save people, he must first pass our Ruyi Gate." He once killed my beloved apprentice Chen Zhongda, and I have long thought that I would meet this junior. ”

Tang Jingtian saw that Fang Wuming was a little displeased, and hurriedly said: "Fang Zhenren is right, although Shi Ziling is famous, after all, he is only a junior, and there is a real person here, so I don't think he will be able to do any tricks." Then according to the meaning of the real person, how should we reply to Shiziling?"

Fang Wuming pondered for a while, and said: "You might as well let someone inform Shi Ziling, if he has the guts, invite him to come to the main altar of Ruyi Gate in my Zhongzhou City once, if he is willing to make amends to me for killing Chen Zhongda, and then promise to withdraw the military horses stationed here as soon as possible, we can consider releasing Zhao Xiong." ”

Tang Jingtian was overjoyed, he was originally a little worried that Shi Ziling would be difficult to deal with, since Fang Wuming was willing to personally come forward to take on the task of dealing with Shi Ziling, with his fourth-ranked strength in the universe, it was naturally more than enough.

Tang Jingtian said with a smile: "Since Fang Zhenren is willing to come out to face Fu Shiziling in person, it would be better, although Shiziling is as famous as the sky, but after all, he is a junior, and it is good for a real person to come forward to frustrate his spirit, so that he can know that there are people outside the heavens and people." ”

The others were also greatly relieved when they heard that Fang Wuming promised to deal with Shi Ziling by Ruyimen, in their thoughts, no matter how powerful Shi Ziling was, after all, it would be as powerful as Fang Wuming, a top master in the universe for many years, and listening to Fang Wuming's tone, he was obviously dissatisfied with this Shi Ziling, if he was willing to come forward in person, it was expected that subduing Shi Ziling should be no problem.

The most excited is Tang Yichao, he has always been haunted by the death of his eldest brother Tang Yifei at the hands of Shi Ziling, and now that he has the opportunity to take revenge on Shi Ziling, he is naturally full of joy.

Tang Ying's side quickly wrote the reply and asked a general to take it to the military camp where Shi Ziling was, and Shi Ziling said to the general after reading it: "Please go back and reply to Tang Wang and Fang Zhenren, I will go to Zhongzhou City to visit Fang Zhenren early tomorrow morning, hoping to discuss the release of Zhao Xiong in person." ”

After the general went back, Yang Weiqing asked: "Shi Dutong, the conditions put forward by the other party are quite harsh, not only do you want to make amends for Chen Zhongda's death, but also want us to take the lead in withdrawing the army, which is difficult to do, what if you go tomorrow and you can't negotiate?"

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Since we are going to negotiate and negotiate, of course they put forward their conditions, we put forward our conditions, and I will still bargain." Although Zhao Dutong is in their hands, since I am here, it is not difficult to arrest a few important people as hostages. ”

Su Zhirou asked a little worriedly: "Husband, how are you going to bargain?" Master took the initiative to take the matter of Zhao Xiong's capital to Ruyimen this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good in the future. ”

Shi Ziling said: "Since I'm here, no matter how difficult it is, I can only bite the bullet." Although Chen Zhongda's death is his own fault, when it comes to making amends, I naturally have no guilt to compensate for with a clear conscience, but it's okay for me to say sorry, after all, I didn't want to hurt his life, but I was forced to stop because I had no choice but to stop. ”

"As for the withdrawal of the army, since my father-in-law has made up his mind and refuses to disobey the orders of the imperial court, I have no choice but to tell the other party the truth about our difficulties. However, I discussed with my father-in-law before I came, and although it is not feasible to withdraw all the troops, it is still possible to withdraw some of the troops. ”

"Originally, we didn't really plan to crusade against the Tang family, but we just made a show to show the court, I believe that after the Tang family understands the true thoughts of our people, they shouldn't feel too threatened. ”

Su Zhirou said: "Having said that, I don't know if the Tang family and my master's side can accept it, and I'm worried that there will be a conflict between you." ”

Yang Weiqing also said: "Shi Dutong, you have a holiday with the Tang family and the Ruyi Gate, will it be dangerous to enter the other party's territory alone? ”

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "I'm here to negotiate, not to fight and kill, not to mention that there is Zhirou, a proud disciple of the Ruyi Sect, accompanying me, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Su Zhirou said: "With me, Master and Uncle will always give me a little face, except for Tang Jingtian and Tang Xiaokun, the strength of the rest of the people on the Tang family's side is very limited, unless they send a large team of men and horses to besiege us, there is not much threat to us......"

Because it was late and tired from running around the way, Shi Ziling and Su Zhirou washed and rested early. Early the next morning, after breakfast, the two went straight to the Tang camp.

In order to facilitate their movements, Shi Ziling and Su Zhirou did not ride horses, but carried out the longitudinal technique and ran all the way to the Tang camp.

Before coming to the Tang camp, Shi Ziling said loudly: "Shi Ziling, the commander of the Songhu Legion, met with the Tang King and Ruyi Zhenren to negotiate in Zhongzhou City, and asked the Tang Camp soldiers to give way and let them go." ”

It didn't take long for the gate of the Tang camp to be opened, and a team of cavalry came up to meet him, and a young general came to Shiziling and Su Zhirou, looked at the two of them and said coldly: "Follow me." ”

The man turned his horse's head and walked back, and everywhere he went, the soldiers of the Tang camp saluted him, and at the same time, the entire barracks separated a road so that the two people could pass smoothly.

Although Shi Ziling felt that this person's expression was a little vicious, he didn't take it to heart, he took Su Zhirou's hand and strode to follow.

There were 20,000 men and horses in this barracks, and all the officers and men were neat and well-trained. Shi Ziling walked all the way, nodding secretly in his heart, he could see that the commander of the Tang camp must have managed the army well, just judging from the 20,000 horses in front of him, it was indeed well-trained and high-spirited, and the Tang family dared to establish himself as the king early, and it was not completely arrogant.

When Shi Ziling and Su Zhirou walked to the center of the barracks, the young general who was leading the way in front suddenly shouted, "Cloth Arrow Array!"

With his order, the formation of the soldiers on both sides changed, the sergeants who were originally lined up in the middle of the road retreated, and four teams of shield bearers appeared, appearing in front and behind Shi Ziling and Su Zhirou, surrounding the two of them. Behind these shield bearers, a large number of archers stretched their bows and arrows, aiming at Shi Ziling and Su Zhirou who were standing in the center.

Su Zhirou's face changed color in shock, and she said coquettishly: "Okay, let's go into Zhongzhou City to see King Tang and Master, what do you mean?"

The young general said coldly on his horse: "Shi Ziling killed my eldest brother, and I want to avenge my eldest brother! Who are you? Who is your master?"

Su Zhirou shouted: "My master is Fang Zhenren, the master of the Ruyi Sect, I am his descendant disciple Su Zhirou, and Shi Ziling is my husband." Who are you? How dare you plot against us as agreed!"

The general was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "It turns out that you are the unscrupulous disciple of Ruyi's sect who married Shi Ziling, hmph! Your senior brother Chen Zhongda was killed by Shi Ziling, but you married him instead, you really fight for your master!"

Su Zhirou was furious, and said angrily: "It's not your turn to talk about our master's affairs! Who are you, who dare to make an argument and plot against us?"

The man replied: "I am Tang Yichao, the deputy commander of the Zhongzhou Legion, and I must avenge my eldest brother Tang Yifei today!" Su Zhirou, for Fang Zhenren's sake, I can let you live, you can go back the way you came." ”
