In the 30th year of Pingyang, August 30, this is a day that will go down in history.

On this day, Zhou Shikai met Chu He for the first time.

It was also from this day that the prosperous country began to decline.

A gust of wind blew through the Gobi Desert, rolling up countless sand and stones, blowing Zhou Shikai's eyes a little unable to open.

"How did you decide on such a place where birds don't?" Zhou Shikai looked at Zhang Di beside him and complained.

Although Zhou Shikai didn't look very happy, Zhang Di, as King Ming's favorite minister, knew that he was actually very excited in his heart now.

Because he was finally able to see his son, Zhou Shikai had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Lord Wang, although the environment here is a little worse, the advantage is that it can be seen at a glance, and no one can play tricks. After all, be careful to sail the ship of 10,000 years, your safety is the top priority, and millions of people in our eastern border are counting on you. ”

Zhou Shikai frowned, waved his hand and said, "That's it, for the sake of the people in the east, let's just bear with it." ”

It's as if he wasn't the one who ordered the slaughter of the entire city.

Of the five entourages brought by Zhou Shikai, except for Zhang Di, the remaining four were all fierce generals in the Eastern Army, and they were real cronies.

They are all the kind of people who can willingly sacrifice their lives at critical moments and protect their masters.

This secret meeting with Chu He, Zhou Shikai naturally carried out it in secret, and the secrecy work was done very well. Except for the closest handful, no one knows.

Especially Gu Qingshan, the general of Zhendong, if this matter is known by that old guy, he will inevitably make a big fuss again.

Although the number of Ming Wang and his party was small, they were by no means light and simple, and they also carried a baggage cart, pulled by three horses.

"We're waiting for them right here?" Zhou Shikai asked.

Zhang Di looked around for a long time, took out the map and compared it again, and finally said: "This is it!" ”

Zhou Shikai nodded, then turned his head and ordered: "Then let's arrange it here, we can't weaken our momentum when we meet Liangren." ”

"Yes!"

The four generals who followed Zhou Shikai and acted as bodyguards did not dare to slack off, immediately turned over and dismounted, and then unloaded the things on the baggage cart.

These people are used to being pampered on weekdays, how can they do such chores, but for the sake of the future, they still work hard to fiddle.

On this baggage cart, there is a large gauze tent, and then there is a table and two chairs.

Zhou Shikai is the most pompous, even in this barren Gobi Desert, he has to maintain that luxurious temperament.

The tables and chairs are easy to handle, just lift them down. The key is this gauze tent, and the four generals who only knew how to kill people and set fire to the Qinglou on weekdays took a lot of effort to barely prop it up and ensure that it would not fall in the strong winds of the Gobi Desert.

Looking at this rickety huge gauze tent, Zhou Shikai was obviously not very satisfied, but he frowned and still didn't say anything.

He also knew that it was indeed a bit difficult for them to let these uncles do this job.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke and dust rose in the distance.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Zhang Di stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, and hurriedly said loudly.

Zhou Shikai snorted coldly and tidied up his clothes, "What are you panicking about?" It's all for me, don't let those hillbillies who have never seen the world say that we don't have a lot of hospitality. ”

Although there are not even a few weeds on the Gobi Desert, Zhou Shikai still thinks that this is the boundary of the River Drum Road and his territory, so he naturally has to put on a posture of a master.

Compared with Zhou Shikai and them, Chu He's group is relatively embarrassed, and they are dusty.

Looking at the abrupt gauze tent on the Gobi Desert from afar, Chu He suddenly laughed.

He remembered the scene in the Chunchi Pavilion in Qushui County at that time, and thought that the father and son had the same hobbies.

Zhou Shikai stood in front of the gauze tent, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, looking at the group of seven people who were riding horses.

Even if he could only look vaguely, he could tell which one was his son Zhou Yan at a glance.

It's the one that is crumbling on the horse, as if it is going to be thrown to the ground at any moment.

Lord Mingwang, who has always been hard-hearted, suddenly his eyes were a little moist, and when he saw the thin figure that was getting clearer and clearer, he knew that Zhou Yan had suffered a lot in Dachong Pass.

A fire of resentment began to burn in his heart again, but he tried to suppress it back, after all, his son was in the hands of others.

They had already planned in advance, and if they saw that the people from Chu He were not strong enough, they would directly start to rob people.

Although the four generals brought by Zhou Shikai are all bastards, their martial arts strength is definitely not bad, and they are all masters of the eighth realm.

And it has been agreed whether to do it or not, with the number of cups.

At this time, on the square table in the gauze tent, there was also a jar of fine wine and two jade wine bottles.

If Chu He and Jiang Wuxian, the two bastards who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, could be captured alive, it would naturally be the best, and they could be tortured slowly, and finally their skins could be peeled off and made into lanterns.

Chu He and his party rode all first-class good horses, and soon arrived in front of the yarn tent, but there was still some distance.

Chu He gave Jiang Wuxian a look, and he immediately understood, and said loudly: "But Your Excellency King Ming? ”

Zhou Shikai also took two steps forward, "I am, but the person who came is Chu He Chu Siza?" ”

Chu He turned his head, glanced at Xu Conghu and Di Yansheng, and after confirming that there was no problem, they all dismounted.

When Zhou Yan saw his father, he was a little dazed for a while, and sat on the horse in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, but he was dragged down by Shazhuang Tuo and carried it in his hand like a little chicken.

Although the group was covered in dust, they still did not weaken their momentum, and walked towards Zhou Shikai with a swagger.

Zhou Shikai finally saw his son up close, and he was originally very worried about missing him, but as soon as they met, he saw his cowering and cowardly look, and a nameless fire suddenly rose.

Seeing that his father was glaring at him, Zhou Yan subconsciously shrank his neck, and he didn't know where he got the strength, broke free from Sha Zhuangtuo's big hand, and hid behind Hao Yue in fear.

Seeing that Zhou Yan hid behind a village woman, Zhou Shikai was even more annoyed and secretly scolded the waste in his heart.

Looking at Chu He and his party who came over, Zhou Shikai turned around and gave the four generals a look, meaning to let them see if there was any possibility of robbing people.

The four of them naturally knew what it meant, and began to stare at Chu He.

Suddenly, one of the older generals was stunned on the spot, his eyes staring at the tall man in black clothes.

Apparently, they had met on the battlefield once, a battle he still didn't want to recall.

His lips trembled slightly, and he finally squeezed out three words from between his teeth.

"Xu Conghu!"
