"You guys are so bold! General Li came by order, how dare you disobey the order! A lieutenant under Li Ping shouted at the door of the city's official house.

There was an open fire in the courtyard of the city, and more than 20 soldiers were confronting each other, and Li Ping did not directly reprimand the dozen or so soldiers on the opposite side with his identity.

"A few of my subordinates are just under the orders of Mr. Zhao and General Guan to guard here, and I hope General Li will not embarrass us." There was only one team member present who could talk to Li Ping, so he had to speak up.

"Presumptuous, what is your identity, and it is also worth embarrassing General Li?" The lieutenant's eyes widened with anger, and he immediately ordered: "Someone will send this cadre and others to military law for disposal!" ”

The scene was tense, and the fire was about to begin.

Suddenly, a person came in from outside the door, it was Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong pushed open the door of the courtyard of the city's ship, unfolded his body, and before the twenty or so people present could see it clearly, they had already rushed directly to the captain, with a spear in his hand, a crack broke out of the bluestone bricks on the ground, and the crack spread to the feet of the captain, shaking the captain upside down.

"Presumably this is Miss Zhao Tong, right?" Li Ping didn't look at the captain beside him, but just looked at the pretty maid in front of him and asked.

"It is the little woman, my husband said that the 5,000 prisoners of war were captured by the soldiers under General Guan, and it is related to the military exploits of more than 10,000 soldiers under General Guan. However, these three Wang Lin were prisoners of war of my husband, and my husband still used these three people to ask for ransom from Zhou Guo, and asked General Li to understand. Li Ping's eyes at Zhao Tong made Zhao Tong very uncomfortable, and he didn't want to say more than a word, so he directly told him at one time.

"Mr. Zhao is doing this, isn't it somewhat..."

"Bang!" Before Li Ping could finish speaking, the spear in Zhao Tong's hand slammed again, this time the force was heavier, and the cracks on the ground spread directly to the entire courtyard, but only in the direction of Li Ping, and there was no crack in the ground behind Zhao Tong.

More than a dozen soldiers under Li Ping were shocked to the ground, Li Ping didn't want to lose face, and used internal force to resist the impact, but he still couldn't stand firm, and took three steps back.

Li Ping is also a rare martial arts genius, he has already entered the second class when he was weak, and it is almost visible to enter the first class within ten years, but the beautiful maid in front of him is obviously less than twenty, but she has such martial arts, which really hurts Li Ping's arrogant heart.

Although Li Ping was born in a poor family, he has extraordinary talents, and it can almost be said that it is smooth sailing, otherwise he would not have been ranked in the fifth rank in Shuo at a young age, and he also became the son-in-law of the Yujia, the largest scholar family in Lanzhou.

"The little girl is just a maid of my husband, that's all I say, if General Li insists on going his own way, or is disrespectful to my husband, don't blame the little woman for being rude!" After that, Zhao Tongdai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a cold light in her eyes.

Li Ping had no choice but to leave with his subordinates.

Zhao Tong watched Li Ping and more than a dozen people withdraw from the city's compound in embarrassment, bowed his head and groaned for a moment, then turned around and walked into the public house where Wang Lin and the three were detained.

In the public house, Wang Lin and the others had long been woken up by the movement in the courtyard, and they just looked at Zhao Tong who was holding a spear.

Zhao Tong looked at the three of them and said, "Don't worry, my husband will definitely not let the three of them be humiliated by the hands of the Shuo army." ”

After saying that, Zhao Tong didn't care about the three of them, and walked out of the public house and returned to Zhao Yingqi.

Returning to the small courtyard where Zhao Yingqi lived and entering the room, Zhao Tong lightly put away the spear and took off his coat and went to sleep under the covers.

"Done?" Zhao Yingqi, who was on his back, asked.

"Well, sir, I..." Zhao Tong looked at Zhao Yingqi's back.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Tong told Zhao Yingqi about entering the city's Bosi Mansion and talking to Wang Lin and the others.

"Sir, am I making my own decisions?" Zhao Tong was worried.

"No, Xiaotong is doing a good job, Mr. is very satisfied, go to sleep, there will be a good show to watch tomorrow."

Zhao Yingqi's words made Zhao Tong close his eyes and sleep with peace of mind.

...

In the public house of the city, Wang Lin and the three of them made beds with tables in each of the three corners, and after Zhao Tong left, the three of them looked at each other and chatted.

"It seems that the grievances of the royal family, the scholar clan and the Hanmen of this Shuo country are becoming more and more intense, and the strong army is pressing, and they can almost catch fire only a hundred and ten miles away from the front line." Huangfu Qin has an attitude of watching a good show and not thinking about a big deal.

"Yes, according to Shuo Guo, it is not my opponent of Da Zhou at all, even if I don't attack Da Zhou, Shuo Guo will die in civil strife sooner or later." Zhang Han looked at Wang Lin again: "What does General Wang think about this matter?" ”

"I think what's interesting is Zhao Yingqi's attitude, tonight's incident seems to be Zhao Yingqi relying on his talent and maid's martial arts to stand on the platform for the royal family Guan Zhengnong, but in fact, you have found that no, Zhao Yingqi drew a very clear line between himself and Shuo Guo." Wang Lin rested his head on his arms and looked at the cobwebs on the roof in the dim light.

"That's true, that's right, but didn't Zhao Yingqi already say it to us in the first half of the night? He had no intention of joining the government in Shuoguo, and just wanted to maintain a neutral position. Zhang Han supported his body with his uninjured left arm and looked at Wang Lin.

"That's right, but I didn't expect Zhao Yingqi to be able to do things so decisively, and did you hear what Miss Zhao said?" The cobwebs on the roof floated around, covered with dust, but for some reason there was clean cobwebs at the edges of the webs.

"Didn't that Zhao girl say that if Li Ping wants a prisoner of war, he will communicate with Guan Zhengnong, the three of us are all prisoners of war of Zhao Yingqi, and you want to ask our Da Zhou for ransom?" Huangfu Qin also interjected.

"yes, what's wrong with that?" Although Zhang Han is proficient in martial arts, he is not good at this power and calculation.

"It shows that this Zhao Yingqi is not ready to withdraw as he said, but is ready to use us as a hole card to continue to intervene in the next war." Wang Lin finally found the answer, but he didn't expect that it was freezing on this day, and there was a spider surviving between the beams and pillars, the three of them came in, and the Shuo army also lit a fire, and after the temperature got up, it came out to weave cobwebs.

"But our army will be killed tomorrow in Chunnai Dao, and Shuo also has more than 20,000 reinforcements, how can Zhao Yingqi control the war with the two of them?" Huangfu Qin was a little inexplicable.

"Alas, you don't understand, this Zhao Yingqi seems to be the weakest party now, but it is the most flexible party." After Wang Lin figured out the truth about the cobwebs on the roof, he was a little satisfied, and he was sleepy and ready to sleep: "Okay, hurry up and sleep, there is still a good show to watch tomorrow." ”

Although there are only two people in this Zhao Yingqi, he holds the hole cards of the two top armor masters, and both sides will ask for him, but he is the most transcendent person on the battlefield of the two countries in this week.

Hey, this is the early twenties who advance and retreat freely, and their hands play with tens of thousands of people and the palms, that is the young man who galloped on the battlefield and was defeated in the first place, such as a leisurely stroll, the poisonous phase of Wu in the south, a pair of brutal and unscrupulous father and son in the southwest have cleared the Yue country, the cavalry on the Chu plateau in the west has just been built and looks down on the south, the Shuo country is mired in internal and external troubles and is difficult to extricate itself, and the Jin country is in a corner but has a heavy treasure in its arms.

Oh, it's been another eventful time.

Alas, my Great Zhou soldiers are strong and strong to sweep Liuhe, and the country is like this.

It's difficult, let him go to the ball, hurry up and go to bed, otherwise he won't be able to catch breakfast and the show tomorrow.

Wang Lin, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The three of them were tired of running a hundred miles today, and after a while, the snoring sound came out of the public house, and it was already November 21, and the full moon in the sky had become the second half moon, and the entire Chunnai Road and even the entire Jia and Nei counties were quiet.

Only in Li Ping's military tent, Li Ping failed to get Wang Lin and the three of them, nor did he get 5,000 prisoners of war from Guan Zhengnong, and he drank alone in a depressed mood.

Li Ping was born in a poor family, with outstanding talents, and entered the second class at the age of twenty-four, although he did not participate in the scientific examination, but his knowledge was no worse than those scholars in Shuo, but the royal family of Shuo was all over the key points, and the scientific examination was the most out of Shuo, and he could be among the upper echelons of the road or the most reliable in martial arts and standing in line, but Li Ping did not believe in this evil and had great ambitions.

It also coincided with the current emperor of Shuo State who intended to weaken the power of the imperial family, and finally had his current status by uniting the Shi clan with Li Ping and gathering the strength of the Hanmen Shi clan to rely on the support of the emperor.

But I didn't want to eat two turtles in a row today.

When I was half drunk, I inexplicably thought of the young and beautiful maid, the master of the first armor, and I don't know if there is a fate to be in the top armor in this life, Li Ping, who is very uneven.

Li Ping, who felt that he was no worse than Zhao Yingqi, thought that at night in the courtyard of the city, in the dim firelight, the beautiful and heroic light-armored maid, and the white neck that seemed to be exposed because she was not wearing a middle coat.

The depression and restlessness in Li Ping's heart made the action of pouring wine and drinking in his hand more and more frequent, and finally the wine jug bottomed out, the last glass was only seventy percent full, the mouth of the pot shook a few times towards the wine glass, and the last two drops fell into the cup, and the irritable Li Ping threw the wine jug into the corner of the military tent.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, watch me Li Ping show his strength."

After speaking, Li Ping raised his head and poured the wine in the cup in his right hand into his mouth, but unfortunately, the force was too strong, the wine glass knocked his teeth, and the wine rushed into his nose a lot.

Li Ping coughed incessantly, and the wine flowed from his mouth and nose to his neck and into his collar, and some were spilled on his chest and legs.

Li Ping hurriedly put down the wine glass, stood up and patted his chest and thighs, still coughing in his mouth.

The soldiers standing outside the tent heard the movement in the tent, quickly lifted the tent curtain, and saw that Li Ping's chest and thighs were wet, and his brows jumped, feeling that he had seen something that he shouldn't see, so he had to stiffen his head and clench his fists and ask, "Does the general still need wine?" The subordinates went down to the scouts and got another pot. ”

Li Ping was about to get angry, but he thought that drinking in the army was really a taboo, so he had to suppress his anger and let the soldiers get two pots of wine.

The soldier came back with two pots of wine, but out of nowhere he got half a cut fat pig's head, the soldier put down the wine and meat and prepared to go out, not wanting Li Ping to stop the soldier and let him drink two glasses together.

The soldier was quite happy, thinking that he could be appreciated by the general, but after listening to it for half an hour, Li Ping bragged and was a little tormented.
