After such a delay, Liu Jing had completely escaped from the dense forest, on the other hand, Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng, although they were riding horses, they were still spinning in the dense forest.

"Lao Zhang, go back and think about it in the long run." Li Zhufeng said.

When Zhang Xun heard this, he was a little indignant, but to no avail, nodded and said, "Okay!" Mingjin retreats! ”

A moment later, Zhang Xun returned to the city of Qiandu with more than 10,000 soldiers.

However, when the city gates were opened, he was dumbfounded.

I saw that on the opposite side of the ravine, which was as wide as one zhang, it was full of civil and military officials, and the person at the head was Emperor Jingxing.

After the hundred officials, there are shoulder to shoulder, crowded people.

As soon as this group of people saw him, they immediately shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to the triumph of the Duke of Dingguo!" ”

There is also a sentence: "Welcome to the triumph of the Marquis of Wuling!" ”

didn't leave Li Zhufeng behind.

Zhang Xun crossed the ravine from the ladder with full doubts, and came to Emperor Jing Xing, first saluted, and then asked with a little surprise: "Your Majesty, what is this ......?" ”

"Huang Shangshu said that if you go out of the city to pursue, you will definitely triumph."

"The imperial court should take the opportunity to organize the people and go out of the city to greet them, so that the people of the capital city can take a look at the demeanor of the great cadres."

"I felt justified, so I adopted it, so as to sweep away the haze brought about by the war over the past few days."

"But this ravine is not easy to pass, think about it, just stay behind the ravine and wait for you to triumph."

Huang Shangshu naturally refers to Huang Li, the head of the household.

When Zhang Xun heard this, he was a little helpless, he felt that he had been killed.

This time he went out of the city to pursue and obviously failed to kill Liu Jing, why was he so praised.

The word triumph made him feel even more panicked.

"Zhang Qingjia, how about the results of going out of the city this time?" Emperor Jing Xing asked with a bit of hope in his eyes.

When Zhang Xun heard this, he was a little ashamed, but he also said truthfully: "Under the pursuit of our army, the enemy army suffered a lot of losses. After this battle, the enemy army was completely defeated, but Liu Jing could not be captured. ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing Xing was suddenly a little disappointed, but he still said: "Great victory!" Defeating the enemy army is a rare victory! ”

"Zhang Qing's family doesn't have to be harsh on themselves."

When Zhang Xun heard this, he was even more ashamed. Even the old face turned red, which was the first time in the world.

"The minister is terrified."

"If even the pillars of the country like Dingguo Gong are to be afraid, then won't we have to die of shame?" Hubu Shangshu Huang Li walked over with a smile and praised him.

Dongfang Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, followed closely and said: "Liu Jing's army has been abolished by Dingguo Gong, so what is this person afraid of?" I believe that in time, the capture of him will be a great deal for the Duke of Dingguo! ”

Dongfang Ming and Huang Li said a word, and they almost didn't praise Zhang Xun as a peerless general who had no ancients before and no one after him.

Zhang Xun had no choice but to wave his hand again and again, constantly humbling himself.

At the same time, his eyes were deep but deeply worried.

When the black blade died, Liu Jing's words were still fresh in his memory.

If Liu Jing is allowed to live like this, it is undoubtedly irresponsible to the Daqian Jiangshan Sheji!

So, he had to do something!

"Okay, okay, don't stand at the gate of the city to chat, the saint has already prepared a banquet for the generals, let's talk about it after the banquet." Huang Li said with a smile.

He felt that after so many days of hard work, it would be impossible to completely integrate into the princelings in the future, but at least he should not be excluded!

When Zhang Xun heard this, he felt helpless again.

It's a feast again!

These days, almost every time a battle is won, a banquet will be held in the palace.

Although it can play a role in boosting morale, in the long run, it will inevitably cultivate the arrogance of soldiers.

What's more, the money for this banquet is also a lot of money!

But there is a good saying, it is called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.

The saint of the family even set up a banquet, and the good name is to catch the wind and wash the dust for him.

What else can Zhang Xun do? Naturally, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate.

On the banquet, there was another burst of laughter and laughter, and everyone drank freely.

Especially Huang Li and Dongfang Ming, they almost rushed to salute Zhang Xun's wine, which made him tired of it, but it was difficult to express it.

Towards the end, Emperor Jing Xing finally said the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time: "Now that the main force of the enemy army has been defeated, the remaining remnants of the party are not to be feared, it is really a godsend!" ”

"I wonder if Zhang Qing has any plans to go out of the city to fight?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes moved to Zhang Xun.

You must know that when the Holy Lord made this request before, he rejected it several times.

Could it be that this time it will still be the case?

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Xun nodded!

And nodded very firmly!

"Your Majesty, as the so-called wildfires burn inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blows and grows. Even if there are only a few remnants of this rebel army, if they are not eliminated for a day, the ministers will not be at ease! ”

"Therefore, I plan to take a rest, and when the three armies are in full condition, I will go out of the city to fight, annihilate the rebels, and capture Liu Jing alive!"

"Good! I'm right! When Emperor Jing Xing heard this, he was immediately happy: "If the grain and grass are insufficient, go to the household department." If you don't have enough weapons and armor, go to the Ministry of Works! ”

"I fully support you, with only one request, to put that rebel... Ahem, ahem, bring me back alive! Emperor Jing Xing waved his hand, his tone was heroic, and when he talked about the emotion, he even coughed violently.

"No!"

"Hahaha, good! Very good! Emperor Jing Xing said with a smile.

At the same time, Huang Li and Dongfang Ming also took the lead in praising them.

Everyone was elated, but ...... Lu Zheng, who was sitting in the corner, had a hint of gloom on his face.

He looked at the backs of everyone, and thought about the current situation, and couldn't help but be a little entangled and a little hesitant.

If the imperial court wins, and the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, then his land expedition will definitely not end well.

He hoped from the bottom of his heart that Liu Jing could win, but unfortunately Liu Jing was not angry!

In the current situation, let alone winning, I don't know if my life can be saved.

So where should I go?

"Alas!" He let out a long sigh, his expression a little lonely and desolate.

……

After the feast, it was late at night in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zheng paced back and forth in his own courtyard, thought and thought, and finally gritted his teeth and entered the study.

Write a letter as quickly as possible, and then, in the dark night, in the faint moonlight, crumple the letter into a ball and stuff it into the bucket on the pigeon's feet.

Then he waited for a long time, until midnight, when he saw that there were no more guards patrolling the streets, so he quietly released the carrier pigeon.

In the dark night, the carrier pigeon spreads its wings and flies out of the city!

And Lu Zheng watched this scene quietly, as if looking at his future and destiny.
