Chapter 16: The Return of the Nine Princes
Xiqi City is very lively, all kinds of shops are doing excellent business, the population is large, and the exchanges are like weaving, a prosperous scene.
When Deng Chanyu saw it, she couldn't help but sigh, "Xiqi is so prosperous." "Sanshan Pass is just a pass, and naturally it can't be compared with Xiqi City. Moreover, there is a kind of relaxation and stability in the people of Xiqi, but it is not found in Sanshanguan.
"yes." Qiao Kun also sighed with emotion, Xiqi is much more prosperous than before.
There is also a little credit to Qiao Kun in this, after all, many stores are selling cotton cloth and all kinds of cotton clothes, and some are selling brown sugar, desserts and various foods brought by the "East Chef Destiny Blessing Shenjun".
Fei Zhong is also planning to sell various seasonings developed by the "East Chef Destiny Fu Shenjun".
Soon arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two went to meet Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya smiled when he saw them: "Just as I was talking, you guys came, and now I am about to arrange soldiers and horses to escort Miss Deng and Marshal Deng to meet." ”
Then arranged for Qiao Kun and Yang Jian to escort Deng Chanyu with 2,500 soldiers.
Qiao Kun is okay, but Yang Jian is a golden immortal combat power, this escort has such a high standard, I think Jiang Ziya is also worried about something in the middle. Maybe it's because I'm worried about the grandson of Tuxing or afraid of the revenge of the grandson.
Qiao Kun also has some experience in commanding soldiers, and there is no big problem in leading 2,500 soldiers.
And one of the five field chiefs is Bukit, who is a general, so don't worry.
I think Jiang Ziya is thinking about letting Wu Ji rub some merits so that he can be promoted again.
Before leaving, Jiang Ziya specially told Deng Chanyu: "Marshal Deng is handsome, loyal and brave, if you want to come to Zhou, I should go to greet him, and never let him bend his knees." "I think I was worried that Deng Jiugong would not open face, so I gave enough respect.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Deng Chanyu naturally understood Jiang Ziya's intentions and was grateful.
Deng Jiugong was recently beaten up by Jiang Ziya again, and the camp changed positions, but Wu Ji was well prepared, and immediately guided the direction, leading the group to march for more than 50 miles, and soon approached Deng Jiugong's camp.
In fact, Qiao Kun has children's skills, and he can check the situation within a hundred miles, so he can find Deng Jiugong's camp without Wu Ji's guidance.
Many of the soldiers in the camp were tired, and it was obvious that the defeated army was undoubted, but it was just vaguely shrouded in humanity and luck, blocking the continued inspection, obviously although Deng Jiugong was defeated, he was not defeated.
Soon there were still two miles away from the camp, Deng Chanyu said to Qiao Kun: "Brother Qiao, if you get closer, there will be soldiers to warn, and then there will inevitably be a fight, how about letting me go to the camp alone to persuade my father?" ”
In this trip, Yang Jian's combat power is the highest, but Qiao Kun is mainly responsible for this matter, Deng Chanyu asked him for instructions, and there is no problem.
Qiao Kun discussed with Wu Ji and Yang Jian, and then agreed, and took out the five-color stone from the "Yi Tu Tongchang" and returned it to Deng Chanyu, "I can't say what will happen in these two miles, if there is no treasure to defend yourself, it is always inconvenient." ”
"Thank you, Brother Joe." Deng Chanyu took the five-color stone and approached the camp alone.
Sure enough, she didn't go far before a large battalion soldier shouted a warning, but when she saw that it was Deng Chanyu, she let her enter the camp.
Yang Jian smiled and asked, "Senior brother, what do you think of the outcome of Miss Deng's trip?" ”
Eighty or ninety. Although Qiao Kun thought so, he said: "Chanyu's trip will definitely be successful." "If you don't succeed, you're still an enemy.
"You have a lot of confidence in Miss Deng."
Qiao Kun smiled: "I have confidence in Uncle Jiang. In fact, Qiao Kun used the "Easy Map Change" and the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and God Generals to calculate, and calculated thousands of possibilities, and the result of Deng Jiugong's surrender was only half.
But this is only a calculation of possible changes, not the probability of things happening, let alone the calculation of people's hearts.
After a few years of fighting with Wen Zhong, Jiang Ziya became more and more sophisticated and reliable. Since he asked Deng Chanyu to persuade him to surrender, he was at least eight or nine points sure.
After a short time, the gate of the camp on the opposite side was wide open, and Deng Jiugong led dozens of horsemen to see him, and looking at the number of people, he knew that he had no malicious intent.
Deng Jiugong took the lead, followed by Deng Chanyu, Deng Xiu, Zhao Sheng and others, as for Sun Yanhong and Tailuan, they did not see it, and they still wanted to maintain military discipline in the army.
Not long after, Deng Jiugong came to the front, dismounted and saluted, and then everyone also dismounted.
Qiao Kun hurriedly returned the salute, "Why should Brother Deng be like this?" ”
Qiao Kun's appearance has already changed, Deng Jiugong naturally can't recognize it, and he was a little caught off guard when he shouted "Brother Deng", but after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, and he quickly reacted, "I'm thanking you for saving my daughter Chanyu's life." ”
Then Deng Jiugong sighed again, "My little girl, who lost her mother when she was young, I cherish it like a pearl in my palm, but a momentary thought almost ruined her life." If it weren't for you to save me, I would have regretted it. "That momentary thought was to say the stupid thing that if Tuxing Sun broke Xiqi, he would marry Deng Chanyu.
Qiao Kun hurriedly said: "King Wu Rende, Xiqi Shun Ri Yaotian, will not tolerate such a small person as Tuxing Sun." ”
Deng Jiugong nodded, "We surrender voluntarily, but we need to deal with many things, and the general can lead my son Deng Xiu and Chanyu into Xiqi." I will lead the army at noon. ”
Let Deng Xiu and Deng Chanyu enter Xiqi first, which has a bit of a proton meaning, and it also makes Xiqi people feel relieved.
Qiao Kun naturally agreed, led Deng Chanyu and Deng Xiu back to Xiqi, and informed Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya was naturally happy, and ordered left and right: "Line up to go out of the city to meet Marshal Deng." "Hearing orders left and right, they are all dressed to greet the rest of the place, which is very lively.
However, Jiang Ziya was still cautious, and arranged for Nangong Shi to lead the army beside him, as for Huang Feihu, Huang Feibao and others, they had some friendship with Deng Jiugong, so they naturally wanted to greet them.
At noon, I saw Deng Jiugong riding a horse and leading the soldiers, who were not too many, only twenty or thirty thousand people.
Jiang Ziya sat on the four faces, and when he saw Deng Jiugong, he was very enthusiastic, "The marshal is invited!" ”
At this time, Deng Xiu and Deng Chanyu were behind Qiao Kun, but when they saw this scene, they didn't step forward, but they regarded themselves as the courtiers of the Great Zhou, and their posture was very correct.
Deng Jiugong dismounted and knelt down, "The last general is shallow and shallow, so he will be condemned, and it is a matter of course." Now that he has surrendered, I hope that the prime minister will forgive his sins. ”
Several generals behind him dismounted, as did many soldiers.
Jiang Ziya was busy with the four disagreements, and Huang Feihu, Qiao Kun and others also got off their mounts to return the salute.
Jiang Ziya even took Deng Jiugong's hand and said: "Today, the marshal does not take personal honor and disgrace to heart, and saves the lives of thousands of soldiers with one thought, so deeply aware of the righteousness, which is admirable." In the future, they will all be ministers of the same palace, so why should they divide each other? General, please come in. ”
This is even more to give Deng Jiugong face, and the generals are even more grateful.
At this time, there was naturally a set of standard procedures for surrendering, and ordinary soldiers were confiscated with weapons and armor, and scattered and assigned to other military camps.
After a short time, everyone went to the prime minister's mansion and dismounted, and then entered the Yin'an Palace, set up a banquet, accompanied by the king of martial arts, and the generals drank the celebration wine together, and talked very happily.
On the second day, King Wu personally granted Deng Jiu the position of horse, only under Nangong Shi and King Wucheng, Deng Xiu, Deng Chanyu, Zhao Sheng, Sun Yanhong, and Tailuan each had a reward, and the real power was not reduced.
Although the soldiers were disrupted, the generals were not dissatisfied.
Ji Xinrou and Deng Chanyu are very close to each other, and often call her to play together, and since then another has been added to Ji Xinrou's little sisters.
Sun Yanhong and Xia Hua have been separated for ten years and finally met again.
The two just looked at each other very calmly, and after a while, Sun Yanhong obediently stood beside Xia Hua and shouted, "Sister Xiaohua." ”
Xia Hua looked at him for a long time before smiling: "Xiaohong, you have now become an adult who stands up to the sky." ”
Qiao Kun also felt that when Xiaohong was picking up garbage in Chaoge that day, who would have thought that he would become an excellent general? When Xia Hua was starving and freezing in the Yakini, who would have thought that she would become a legend of martial arts?
Of course, there is the power of time, but it is also because people have strong plasticity.
Deng Chanyu watched from the side, full of expressions of something precious that had been taken away, "It turns out that she is Sister Xiaohua that Xiaohong has always been thinking about." ”
At this time, Deng Chanyu was young, and compared to Xia Hua, she was just a flower bone, and she was indeed crushed in all aspects.
However, Xia Hua and Sun Yanhong only briefly chatted about the past of these years before separating, Xia Hua smiled: "I am only a small part of Xiaohong's life. Now there are people and things that are more important to him, and he will understand. ”
Qiao Kun couldn't care about Xia Hua and Sun Yanhong's past, since Deng Jiugong and Deng Chanyu had surrendered, he told Jiang Ziya and Ji to take leave and prepare to take time to participate in the "Dragon God Festival".
Before he passed, he still had to make some preparations, urging the three-headed and six-armed pseudo-Dharma body, refining the Tai'a sword, tying up the dragon rope, and refining these treasures into the steel suit with the "Yun Bao Jue".
Then he forged weapons and treasures, picked tea, and fried tea.
It took more than ten days for Qiao Kun to prepare the things.
He prepared several years of tea for Ji Fa, Tairen, Taibo, Zhongyong, Taiji, Jiang Ziya, Xia Hua and others.
This tea is fried by the stove fire, and has the blessing of the divine power of "East Chef Destiny Blessing Shenjun", which contains aura. Long-term drinking can strengthen the body and prolong life.
He met everyone in turn, and finally King Wu and Tairen and Taiji.
King Wu looked at Xincha and smiled, and told him to be careful on this trip, he knew that "the East Chef was destined to bless the Divine Monarch", but he was not prepared to care.
When the two old ladies saw Qiao Kun coming, they were very enthusiastic, and Tai Ren said: "You have been busy, how can you have time to see our two old ladies today?" ”
Tai Ji played a round for him and said: "He is also for state affairs, and he can be regarded as filial." The tea we have been drinking all these days is made by him. ”
Saying that, Taiji took his hand and entered the inner room, but saw that Ji Xinrou and Deng Chanyu were also there, and they didn't know what they were talking about just now.
Tai Ji smiled: "I was talking to Chanyu about you just now." She said she had known you for a long time. ”
"Hmm." Deng Chanyu nodded lightly, her face was still a little blushing, "When we met for the first time, Brother Qiao hugged me. That's true, but Deng Chanyu was only four or five years old at that time.
Tai Ji smiled and said, "But I don't know when you are going to find a Taoist couple?" ”
Sure enough, no matter what time it is, the elders are always concerned about getting married and having children.
Qiao Kun now has the magic power to sense emotions, how can he not know the thoughts of Tairen, Taiji and Deng Chanyu, but he really doesn't have this intention, so he said: "There is a real person in the Huanglong of the Jade Void Palace who plans for me, and I will ask to marry the dragon girl in the future." ”
As soon as she heard this, Ji Xinrou came to her senses, "Brother, are you going to marry a dragon girl in the future?" Is the dragon lady pretty? ”
Qiao Kun shook his head, "There may be more than one dragon girl I want to marry." Shangxian only said that the dragon women of the two clans of the dragon and jade tribes were gentle and understanding, but they didn't know what their appearance was. But I used to know a dragon maiden, and she was very beautiful. ”
If you only talk about appearance, Ao Tingxin is not inferior to Yuegong Chang'e, but her temperament is slightly inferior, and her figure is a little thin.
As soon as these words came out, sure enough, Tairen and Taiji didn't want to speak again, and only said: "This depends on fate after all, and it can't be forced." ”
Tai Ji changed the topic again, "We are discussing arranging a marriage for Xin Rou, do you have any recommendations?" ”
Because Ji Xinrou wears "fixed face beads" all the year round, her face has not changed, and the two old ladies have not urged her to get married. But I don't know why I have to arrange a marriage for her today.
Qiao Kun thought for a while and said, "Huang Tianjue, the son of King Wucheng, is very good. He is handsome, strong in martial arts, and his character is not bad. ”
Tai Ren said: "I also know Huang Tianjue, this kid, it's really good." ”
Qiao Kun said again: "San Yisheng's son San Yijin, and Mao Zhen, the son of Mao Gongsui's family, are also very good. ”
Tai Ji nodded, "I also know these two children, quite like their father." ”
The two old ladies communicated with each other, but Ji Xinrou had a straight face, Qiao Kun naturally sensed that the young lady was quite unhappy, so he said again: "The young lady is still young, it is too early to say this." ”
"It's not early." Tai Ren did not listen to the persuasion and continued to discuss with Tai Ren.
Qiao Kun felt that this was really not suitable for him, so he put down the tea and said goodbye to the two elders.
They naturally agreed, and Tai Ji hurriedly said to Deng Chanyu: "Chanyu, send Qiao Kun for us." ”
Deng Chanyu naturally agreed, and the two left here.
On the way, Deng Chanyu asked carefully: "Brother Qiao, do you really want to marry the dragon girl?" ”
Qiao Kun nodded, "This is what I promised Huanglong Zhenren, how can I go back?" Saying that, he handed Deng Chanyu a white bone relic, "This treasure is called 'God and Demon White Bone Relic', which can be turned into a white bone god and demon, but don't use it until it is critical." ”
While speaking, Qiao Kun took out the "Soul Killing Flag" again: "This treasure is the Soul Killing Flag, it is a magic weapon, it can hook the soul and seize the soul, it can evolve the rope black smoke, you are so good to sacrifice and practice, for the purpose of self-protection." But this treasure is of great use to me, and I will return it to me in the future. ”
Then he took out a bunch of "Earth Amulet", "Yellow River Evil Talisman", "Heavenly Star Prayer Talisman", and talked about all kinds of wonderful uses of the talisman. These symbols are drawn with the Three Jewels of "Paper, Pen, and Ink", which is very useful.
Deng Chanyu was a little entangled, but in the end she accepted it, "Brother Qiao, why are you so good to me?" ”
Qiao Kun explained: "That Tuxing Sun is not right, maybe he will harm you again, with these treasures to protect me, I can rest assured." ”
The "Soul Killing Banner" has been suppressed in the "Easy Map Change" for a long time, and it has long been completely analyzed, even without this treasure, the "Easy Map Change" can also prompt many changes.
However, things such as "Qingyun Sword", "Open Sky Bead", "Crackling Pearl", "Dinghai Pearl" and other things are the foundation of the "Easy to Change" world, but they cannot be taken out at will.
Qiao Kun returned home and handed Xia Hua a sword and a white bone relic. Although Xia Hua did not have immortal cultivation, that white bone relic did not need mana to be activated.
Xia Hua silently took the two treasures and asked, "Childe, are you going to leave me?" ”
