After the burly brother walked into the cave with the soldiers, he scared the soldiers of the Northwest Nation hidden in the cave half to death, and when the soldiers of the Northwest Nation were just about to pick up the spear and spear to resist, they were the first to be subdued by the soldiers led by the burly brother, and under the enemy's outnumberedness, all the soldiers of their Northwest Nation were disarmed and surrendered...

After they all threw down their spears, they all walked out of the hole with their heads in their hands at the request of the burly brother, and after they got out of the hole, they all walked in the front at the request of the burly brother, and the burly brother's own soldiers walked behind, and then walked towards the soldier who shouted for himself...

As soon as he had passed, the soldier who had called out to him said to the burly man:

"Brother burly, the emperor is looking for you, let you go to that room halfway up the hill now, the emperor is waiting for you there"

"Okay, I got it"

The burly brother said to him, and then to the others:

"Let's go, let's go together"

Then, the soldiers walked together to the room halfway up the hill...

When they walked to the door of the room, the soldiers gathered around the door of the room were vigilant when they saw the soldiers of other ethnic groups brought by the burly brother coming.

At this moment, a soldier who was surrounding the door of the room stepped forward and said to the burly brother:

"Brother burly, the emperor has ordered that except for the soldiers of our race, everyone else is forbidden to enter"

"Okay, I got it"

The burly brother replied, he looked at the soldiers behind him who were set up by him, and then went directly into the house alone...

"Meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live"

After the burly brother entered, he knelt down directly to the emperor, and then said so. ”

"Flat"

The Emperor said,

"Emperor Xie"

He replied, then stood up.

"You call, call that Wu Kuifa, right?"

The emperor looked at the burly brother and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

He replied.

"I just heard that when you were stationed underground, you found a soldier from their Northwest Nation."

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the minister was stationed at the foot of the mountain, he kept an eye on the wind and grass on the hillside, no, he found that soldier"

"The Emperor"

"You say"

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, in addition, the minister not only sent troops to garrison below, but also sent troops to patrol the mountains with the ministers, just now, the minister found their hidden soldiers of the northwest ethnic group in a hole that looked like it was artificially dug, and the minister also pressed them over."

"Well, sure enough, you are really a good subject of mine"

The Emperor said to him, and then to the outsiders:

"Someone's coming"

"In"

Two soldiers who were surrounding outside suddenly came in and knelt down.

The Emperor then looked at the two soldiers who came in behind him and said:

"Spread my will, because this soldier named Wu Kuifa found the enemy soldiers, and now he has successfully arrested him and ensured my safety, and now I hereby reward him with 10 gold bars, and I will give it when I go back."

"Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live long live"

This burly brother named Wu Kuifa hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Hurry up, please"

The emperor said to him,

So he got up.

Then the emperor said to him:

"Wu Kuifa, how about I send you another arduous and glorious task now?"

"Thanks to the emperor's refusal to give up, even if the minister decides life and death, he will never live up to the emperor's expectations"

Wu Kuifa soldier said,

"Okay, okay, Wu Kuifa, you obey the order, I will now make you a general, and the monthly reward will add ten taels to you, but I only need you to do one thing now, that is, you are now waiting for this mountain where these three masters are here, without my orders and will, you are not allowed to leave, and you are not allowed to let anyone in except me."

The Emperor said,

"Thank you Lord Longen, the minister will receive the decree, the minister should wait here with death, to ensure the daily cultivation of the three masters, if you do not obey, the minister should come to see you"

Wu Kuifa said,

"Okay, okay, you can step back first"

The Emperor said.

"Yes"

After he finished speaking, he retreated, and then took the soldiers of the Northwest Nation who were pressing down with him...

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor"

At this time, when the white-haired old man wanted to kneel down to thank him, he was stopped by the emperor in time.

The emperor said to him:

"Master, you're welcome, you'll be cultivating here in the future"

Then he said:

"By the way, I need some daily necessities."

"Yes, please give us a little food at will."

The white-haired old man said at this time.

"Someone Coming"

The Emperor said,

Then two soldiers came up and knelt down and said:

"The little one is in"

"Spread my will, take half of the food I ate in this mansion and the delicacies of the mountains and seas and come here."

"Yes, Little Order"

So the two soldiers walked out as well...

"Thank you so much Your Majesty the Emperor"

The white-haired old man said again.

"By the way, what else do you need?"

The Emperor asked,

"No, no, no more"

The white-haired old man said.

"Okay, then ask the three masters to cultivate, and they can work hard for us to become a national race."

The Emperor said,

"Yes, that's a must"

The white-haired old man said at this time.

At this time, a soldier rode to the bottom of the mountain from a distance, and when the soldiers saw this, they could only let him go up the mountain, and when he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he pushed the door directly and broke in.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, report to His Majesty the Emperor, now, the emperor of the Zhengguo ethnic group is about to come to our official residence of Chengguo, and I need you to go back"

The soldier who broke in said,

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at the white-haired old man Monk Liu Ding and said:

"Then, then I won't delay the cultivation of the three masters."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, state affairs are important, please hurry back"

The white-haired old man was the first to speak.

"Good"

The Emperor said.

Then he walked out of the room with the soldier.

Then he and the soldiers at the top went down the mountain.

After walking down the mountain, at this time, I saw Wu Kuifa's soldiers standing guard at the foot of the mountain, and tied up the soldiers of the Northwest Nation tribe together.

The emperor asked Wu Kuifa to gather all the soldiers of his country, and after a while, the soldiers were all gathered together...

The Emperor said in front of the soldiers:

"I am now canonizing Wu Kuifa as the general of the national group, not because of my temporary intention, but after my careful consideration, do you have any objections?"

"No objection......"

The soldiers all shouted in unison.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Northwest Nation who had come to change the guard from afar heard that there was a movement in the mountain in front of them that they were about to go to change the guard, so they stopped moving.

Then they quietly went forward to check, and they found the emperor of the Chengguo ethnic group and a large group of soldiers, and especially found that the soldiers and brothers who were stationed in front of them were tied up, but they saw that the soldiers had to be at least nearly 200 people...

"Quick, quick, let's retreat, retreat"

At the behest of their leader, the soldiers who were about to go to the changing of the guard to meet them all withdrew...

Over there, the emperor looked at the soldiers of their Northwest Nation who were tied up on the ground, and then said to Wu Kuifa:

"General Wu, please let these people go."

"Emperor, you can't let it go"

Wu Kuifa hurriedly stepped forward and said,

"Put, why can't you put it?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if the ethnic groups of the Northwest Kingdom are going to come over to attack our Chengguo ethnic groups, we can at least have a hostage in our hands, so we can't let go, and we can't let them go."

Wu Kuifa said again.

"Haha, General Wu doesn't have to worry about it, with my understanding of the kings of the Northwest Kingdom, I guess they won't do that"

Then he said to the soldiers next to him:

"Let the soldiers of these Northwest Nation groups go, and then reward each of them with a tael of silver."

"Yes"

The soldiers next to him said,

So some soldiers stepped forward to loosen the soldiers of these northwestern ethnic groups one by one, and then gave one of them another tael of silver.

When he saw that the soldiers of the Northwest tribe had received the money, the Emperor then said to them:

"Soldiers of the Northwest Nation, go back, you go back and tell the king of your country that we don't want to be enemies of your Northwest Nation when we become a country."

"Okay, let's go."

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Northwest Nation all got up at this time, and after getting up, they all ran away from here and left here...

After seeing that all the soldiers of the Northwest Country had left, Wu Kuifa stepped forward at this time and said:

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are confused, once they leave, they will be like that small fire, they will attract a big fire"

"Hey, General Wu doesn't have to worry too much, this won't happen. You just have to stay here."

At this time, the soldiers who had gone to get the food came back, and they looked behind them, and there were a few soldiers of their own ethnic group who came with carts full of food...

The Emperor then looked at it and said to the soldiers:

"Okay, now I order, half of the soldiers here will stay with General Wu to garrison this mountain, and the remaining half of the soldiers will follow me back to the city."

Then he said:

"Leave the mountain guards, and the reward for each person will be increased by 5 taels of silver per month."

At this time, hearing the emperor say this, all the soldiers present shouted:

"Your Majesty, I want to stay"

"Your Majesty, I want to stay"

………

Because 5 taels of silver is indeed a lot of money for them, because they can only earn 1 tael of silver a year on average, and if they stay here for a month, they can earn money that they can't earn for 5 years...

"Okay, if you stay, sign up with General Wu now..."

……

When everything was done, the Emperor left...

And in the palace of the king of the Northwest Nation, at this time, the group of soldiers who had changed shifts suddenly broke in and reported the matter to the king...

When the king of the Northwest Nation heard this, he was angry and randomly said that he would declare war on the Cheng Nation Clan...

"Someone Coming"

In the palace of the official residence of the Northwest Nation, King Zhao, the king and emperor of the Northwest Nation, was filled with great anger at this time, and shouted to the outside of the mansion like a thunderbolt on a sunny day:

"The little ones are there"

At this time, several soldiers wearing armor and holding swords came forward and bowed.

"Chuan I order, immediately write an edict declaring war against the Chengguo ethnic group and send it to the emperor of the Chengguo ethnic group."

"Yes"

A few soldiers said, and then retreated...

After the men retreated.

King Zhao stood on the edge of the main seat with a roar at this time, wandering back and forth...

After wandering for a while, a minister suddenly broke in directly from the outside, knelt down in a panic, and said to the king:

"Meet the King"

When King Zhao saw his appearance and expression, he stopped wandering, and said to the man:

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, the minister has received a report from at least two or three of the governors of the city that the ghost beggar of the ghost clan has destroyed the city, and the city near the kingdom of Li has been burned down by the flame ball spell emitted by the ghost smoke beggars? Please, the king, decide."

At this time, King Zhao directly picked up a porcelain teacup on the table in front of him and threw it next to the minister, and the teacup immediately shattered in the open space next to the minister, and made a deafening sound that startled the minister, and hurriedly dodged back...

And then one of the soldiers trotted in, knelt down and said:

"Report, my lord, the soldiers you arranged to guard the mountain are now all back, they are all safe and sound, and now they have arrived at the door, and their leading soldiers say that they have something to report to you."

"Quick, hurry up, announce that they will enter the temple quickly"

The king said to him,

"Yes"

He replied, and ran out...

"Report, king, the declaration of war against Chengguo has been written"

At this time, from the door on one side of the hall came a man who was dressed like a father-in-law, with a hairy stick in his left hand and the letter in his right hand, and walked straight to the king, and handed the letter to the king, and after the king took the letter, he stepped back and stood aside...

Just as the king was about to read the letter, at this time, the soldiers of the Northwest Nation who were guarding the mountain and were also released by the special order of the Emperor Chengguo walked in at this time...

King Zhao had to take the letter aside first, and then looked at the soldiers...

When he walked in, he stopped where the minister was kneeling, and at this time, after the minister looked at the men, his head immediately lowered again.

The soldiers suddenly knelt down and said in unison:

"Meet the King"

King Zhao looked at these people at this time, except for the traces of being strangled by ropes, there were no other traces on their bodies...

"Lift your head up and look at me"

King Zhao said to a few of them,

So, the few of them knelt and raised their heads, and looked at King Zhao standing on the stage with trepidation.

"The king asks you how you came back."

King Zhao said at this time.

"We are..."

"Newspaper, king..."

"That..."

At this time, they were scrambling to speak.

"Stop"

King Zhao said,

So, the trembling that they were frightened at the moment stopped

Then he looked at the leader of their soldiers, and said:

"You're the leader, aren't you?"

"Yes, King"

"What's your name?"

"Back to the king, the little one's name is He Kun"

"Okay, Leader He, this king asks you, how did you come back, weren't you tied up by them? Tell the king the truth."

"Back to the king, the little ones don't dare to lie, the little ones were originally tied up by the soldiers of their national group, but although they tied up a few of us, they never beat us or abused us, but the little ones still remember the soldier"

At this time, this He leader pointed to a soldier who was with them next to him.

"He said he was thirsty, and their soldiers gave him water from the jug they had brought with them... The few of them were released by order of the emperor of their kingdom, and not only that, but the emperor of their kingdom also ordered their soldiers to give us a tael of silver each."

After saying that, he took out the two pieces of silver, and asked the other soldiers to take out the silver...

Then he added:

"Back to the king, the emperor of their Chengguo specially told us that they are not willing to be enemies of our northwest country, and they are willing to be friends with us."

"It's true"

King Zhao asked,

"Back to the king, it is true, if there is deception, the little one is willing to guarantee with his life"

After hearing this, the emperor's roaring eyes at this time instantly turned into a trace of joy.

And at this time, the kneeling minister next to him said:

"Back to the king, this is a great good thing, they have become a national race and are not enemies of our northwest country, that is the fortunate thing of our northwest country."

"How do you say this?"

The king looked at the minister and asked,

"Back to the king, first of all, they Chengguo ethnic group emperor personally ordered the release of our soldiers, that means that they don't want to be our enemy, and also give us soldiers one or two silver, that fully shows that the Chengguo emperor's benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, and the face has been exhausted to the maximum, if we unite with the emperor of the Chengguo ethnic group at this time to deal with the ghost beggars of the ghost clan, it would be great, first, we can eliminate some of the ghost beggars who destroyed our northwest country, and second, Maybe we can cover up the evidence that the ghost clan was released to the mainland by us? It's a win-win-win."

Hearing the minister say this, the emperor instantly crumpled the letter declaring war in his hand, threw it into a ball, and then threw it to the ground randomly, and then said to the following:

"Gather the other ministers quickly, and the king will have a meeting now."

"Yes"

In a short time, the ministers of the Northwest Nation gathered here...

After King Zhao saw all the ministers, he told everyone about it in front of all the ministers...

After saying this, he then asked the ministers for their opinions and results, and at this time, the prime minister took the lead and said:

"King Qizuo, the minister thinks that the emperor of the Chengguo ethnic group has ulterior motives in this matter, because the waterfall mountain itself is the territory of our northwest ethnic group, just next to the border of their Chengguo, and their Chengguo emperor did not ask us for advice and went to our territory privately, what is the difference between this and bandits and robbers, they came to our territory and kidnapped our soldiers, although they were released later, and also gave part of the compensation, but this does not offset their Northwest ethnic group as invaders, so as invaders, For the sake of the safety of the ethnic groups in our northwest country, the minister should immediately declare war on the ethnic groups of the Chengguo country and destroy them."

Some of the ministers present then nodded, and at this time, the minister who had been kneeling here before also stepped forward and said:

"Great King, by all means, by all means, it is not that the minister does not advocate guarding the territory, but the current situation of our Northwest Nation is the most important thing, and at present, our Northwest Nation has privately released the suppressed ghost clan to this continent, not only harming our own race, but also harming other races on that continent, which is a matter of revenge for the entire continent ethnic group, and the ghost beggar people of the ghost clan are not trustworthy, It has also destroyed several cities of our northwest ethnic group, and at present, our northwest ethnic group is already full of devastation, if we go to declare war again, there is really no chance of victory, besides, in the heavenly god group, there is no heavenly god of our northwest ethnic group to protect us, and the Chengguo ethnic group next door has a heavenly god cultivated by a monk, to sum up, the minister thinks that we should take care of our own ethnic affairs first, and become friends with the ethnic group of the country, rather than declaring war."

After he finished speaking, some ministers nodded yes.

"There is no minister to speak?"

The king asked from the stage at this time,

At this time, everyone in the audience looked at me and I looked at you, and did not come forward to speak.

At this time, the prime minister stepped forward again and said:

"The King"

Then the prime minister pointed to the minister who had just spoken, and then said:

"What Lord Liang said just now is extremely true, it is the minister who is reckless"

Then he turned to face Lord Liang and bowed and said:

"Lord Liang, please bear with me"

"The Prime Minister's Words Are Serious"

Lord Liang also replied.

Then the prime minister stepped forward again and said:

"The king, the minister has a plan at present"

"Aiqing, please speak"

The king looked at the prime minister and said,

"King, that's the case, I remember that we have sent that invitation to the emperor of the Chengguo ethnic group yesterday, and the agreement is to invite the emperor of Chengguo here tomorrow morning, so we might as well change the location, just change it to that waterfall mountain, since the emperor of Chengguo led his troops there, it is relatively safe for him and us, not to mention that it is our territory, and the location is about there, it can be said that the time and place are favorable, and then ask the king to negotiate with the emperor of Chengguo again, The key to the negotiation is still the matter we mentioned yesterday, let them hand over the Chu thief's apprentice Liu Ding, because our top priority at the moment is to find the disciples of the Chu thief, only by killing all the people who are related to the Chu thief, their ghost clan will see the sincerity of our ethnic group in the northwest country, and will help us.

At this time, everyone nodded.

A man next to the prime minister stepped forward at this time and said:

"Great King, what the Prime Minister said is extremely true, for the sake of our entire Northwest Country Ethnic Group, and for the sake of our ethnic subjects, the Great King, you must give up those little things informally, and you had to let the Emperor of Chengguo hand over Liu Ding."

After he finished speaking, all the soldiers present nodded.

"Please King Shengming..."

At this time, all the soldiers in the audience said this.

The king stood on the stage and looked at all the ministers like this, please say.

Then, he said to everyone in the audience:

"Okay, pass on my order, and now write a letter of invitation again, and the place will be set at the waterfall mountain, and the date will be tomorrow morning."

"Mask"

At this time, the father-in-law next to him said.

"Okay, retreat"

So, all the soldiers dispersed.

The letter of invitation to the banquet, which was written according to the king's request, was immediately written, and then, under the arrangement of the envoy, it was sent to the territory of the Chengguo clan...

At the foot of the mountain where the waterfall flowed, after the Emperor of Chengguo withdrew, the white-haired old man began to cultivate, and the two of them also lived in seclusion in this mountain and began to learn to cultivate...

And at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers led by Wu Kuifa, a general appointed by the Emperor Chengguo, guarded this mountain...

In order to be able to go to this waterfall mountain the next day, the king of the northwest country, under the advice of other ministers, immediately arranged a group of soldiers to quietly go to the mountain, preparing to ambush, in order to launch a surprise attack on the emperor of Chengguo in the case of unsuccessful negotiations the next day, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to hand over Liu Ding.

When the soldiers of the Northwest Ethnic Group were about to arrive at Waterfall Mountain, they were noticed by General Wu Kuifa, who was arranged by the Emperor of Chengguo to guard this mountain...

For this reason, a war concerning the fate of the two countries has quietly started at this moment......
