Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, Yang Fuguang was indeed right, on the territory of the Zhongwu Army, if he didn't feel a real threat, it would be impossible for him to come to see Yang Fuguang like this.

A few years ago, the chaotic army ravaged the Central Plains, and the former Zhongwu Jiedu made Xue Neng die, at that time, Zhou Qi was just a general, and he was able to do the position of the envoy of the upper Jiedu, all of which were recommended by Yang Fuguang, so he and Yang Fuguang have always had a good relationship.

Zheng Yi called on all soldiers and horses to attack Huangchao in Fengxiang, and Li Yan (renamed Li Yi after ascending the throne) ordered the soldiers and horses of all towns to recover Chang'an in Xichuan.

As long as the Tang family is not dead, Zhou Qi is willing to do this, because he can get meritorious fame, get rewarded by the imperial court, and add officials to the knighthood, if the world is in chaos in the future, this is the capital for him to recruit troops, recruit talents, and expand his strength.

Prestige is useful at all times, and even more so in troubled times.

But the premise is that Zhou Qi will not kill himself because of this, so don't make trouble to lose his wife and lose his army.

To put it bluntly, it is the relationship between risk and return.

Zhou Qi has never responded positively to Yang Fuguang because he feels that the loyal army has no possibility of breaking through Tongguan. The Zhongwu army is only tens of thousands of people, even if the Tongguan is breached, without the cooperation of other feudal towns, it is impossible to enter the pass from the east alone and go to Chang'an to fight Huangchao.

It is important to make contributions in troubled times, but self-preservation is the most basic requirement.

However, the situation is different now, because Dengzhou was captured, and Zhu Wen also asked Zhou Qi to visit, which was clearly to tie him to the boat, and not give him the opportunity to sway left and right and wait and see.

"What did the prison guards see?" Zhou Qi asked.

Yang Fuguang did not hide it: "Presumably, the envoy has also discovered that there have been more and more Taoists in the city recently, and with the arrival of Zhu Wen's envoy, there is a black cloud in the city that wants to destroy the city. ”

Zhou Qi was silent, as a festival envoy, it was impossible for him not to know these things.

Yang Fuguang said coldly: "Not only that, but our family also learned that Cai Zhou, who has always been arrogant and domineering, and violated the Yin and Yang of the Honest Envoy, sent a messenger to contact Shi Qin Zongquan when Zhu Wen attacked Dengzhou. ”

"Qin Zongquan's husband! wolf ambition is very hateful!" mentioning Qin Zongquan, Zhou Qi was annoyed, Caizhou is a state of loyalty to the army, but Qin Zongquan has always been dissatisfied with Zhou Qi, when Huangchao crossed, he took the initiative to go out of the city to greet him, and also met with the other party, taking advantage of that opportunity, he recruited troops and horses, as if he had the meaning of fighting against Zhou Qi.

Yang Fuguang stared at Zhou Qi and said: "What does Qin Zongquan want to do, the Lian Envoy must know in his heart that he is not convinced by the Lian Envoy, if he climbs Zhu Wen's big tree again this time, what will happen in the future, it is really hard to say." You must know that the Lian envoy is supported by our family, and Zhu Wen wants to control Zhongwu...... Zhu Wen is not easy to match!"

Yang Fuguang didn't say it explicitly, but Zhou Qi understood what he meant.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhu Wen wanted to make Zhongwu obedient and completely turn Zhongwu into his own power, and it was possible to support Qin Zongquan to ascend to the throne. But Caizhou's soldiers are strong and strong, and Zhou Qi does not dare to send troops to recruit easily, not because he has few soldiers and is weak, but if Qin Zongquan is defending the city, with the other party's management of Caizhou's city defense, he may really not be able to attack it in the short term, and doesn't this give others a chance?

It is not only Qin Zongquan who is eyeing the position of Jiedu, there are many people who want to make a career in the troubled times, maybe a large number of heroes will emerge at any time, and the power of the Daomen of Zhongnan Mountain is everywhere......

In all fairness, Qin Zongquan's talent is still above Zhou Qi, otherwise, Zhou Qi would not be so passive and have nothing to do with the other party. It can be said that without Yang Fuguang, Zhou Qi's situation would be even worse.

Zhou Qi's eyes turned red, his fists clenched, the situation was indeed very difficult, Mo said that it was not easy to make further contributions and take a step back to protect himself. In the torrent of this troubled world, no one can be safe and sound, and many times the sea and the sky may be widened, or the catastrophe may not be recovered, and a step back may be dead.

Yang Fuguang took Zhou Qi's look in his eyes, and his face did not move, but he already knew in his heart that his words had worked, and now he was short of a real heavyweight weight, so that Zhou Qi would be obedient.

Yang Fuguang said slowly: "Our family's old friend in Bianzhou just sent me a letter, saying that it was the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, who led an army of 100,000 and had already gone down the river and would arrive in Bianzhou in a few days. Count the days, and it's almost here. ”

Hearing the news at first glance, Zhou Qi was shocked.

This is a bombshell, when the situation in the Central Plains is stalemate, 100,000 troops fell from the sky, you can imagine how much impact it will have on the situation, and if it is not good, it will cause a silver carp effect.

Of course, Zhou Qi didn't know about the silver carp effect, but this did not prevent him from understanding the situation, and he was shocked: "Pinglu Jiedu envoy, His Royal Highness King An?"

Yang Fuguang smiled, and became more and more sure: "Yes, it is His Royal Highness King An who brought down Wei Baoheng and Liu Xingshen!"

"His Royal Highness King An actually brought 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he will arrive in Bianzhou in a few days? Why is ......it so sudden? His Royal Highness actually has 100,000 soldiers and horses?" Zhou Qi was surprised, his surprise was reasonable, how could there be 100,000 soldiers and horses in an ordinary feudal town, 350,000 would be considered good.

Only the border army towns guarding the border passes will have more soldiers and horses, but it will not exceed 100,000, and Pinglu is located in a place where there is no war, and there have always been only about 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhou Qi was shocked and surprised, but also surprised, which was exactly what Yang Fuguang needed, so he did not hesitate to praise Li Ye and build momentum for Li Ye: "His Royal Highness King An went out of the town of Pinglu, but His Majesty personally wrote the edict in order to prepare for the war and rebellion. Although the rebel army did not go to Pinglu and occupy that piece of feng shui treasure, the responsibilities of His Royal Highness King An will not disappear because of this. With the continuous support of soldiers and materials from the imperial court, it is not unimaginable that with the outstanding talents of His Royal Highness King An, the army will be expanded by 100,000 in three years. ”

Zhou Qi calmed down and said in a deep voice: "What the prison army said is right, His Royal Highness King An is after the old King An, the tiger father has no dogs, how can his talent be bad?

Zhou Qi's words were full of admiration.

This is the role of prestige, if Li Ye hadn't overthrown Wei Baoheng and Liu Xingshen at the beginning, and won the praise and admiration of the people of the world, Zhou Qi would not believe anything now, Li Ye could raise 100,000 troops to King Qin.

Yang Fuguang saw that the fire had arrived, no longer hesitated, suddenly left his seat and bowed, and shouted in a sad voice: "The eldest husband is grateful for the picture, loyal to the liver and courage, reported to the family and the country, and sympathized with the people! The imperial court treats the honest envoy well, and now the country is in trouble, and the honest envoy is the material of the pillars, he should have made meritorious contributions to the country, strangled the thieves, and his name went down in history, how could he be willing to betray the imperial court and be driven by the thieves?

Yang Fuguang made a generous statement, and he was already in tears, but his eyes were resolute, and his waist was straight, so that people had no doubt that even if it was a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he would move forward.

Zhou Qi was immediately moved, and hurriedly bowed in front of Yang Fuguang, and also cried bitterly: "The country is difficult, the Son of Heaven is running westward, and the people of Li are suffering. It's just that because of the strength of the lonely force, he can't fight the thieves alone, so he wants to wait for a good opportunity and die on the battlefield! Now there is the help of the prison army inside, and the help of King An outside, even if there are thousands of difficulties, the envoy must serve his family and country!"

Yang Fuguang was overjoyed, and immediately got up with Zhou Qi, took out the dagger he carried, cut his palm, and dripped blood into the teacup.

It was a simple ritual, without much grandeur, and it was not peculiar or even more concise than the bloody alliances that prevailed at the time.

But countless changes in the situation, and many changes in the direction of history, depend on such an oath that is not pure and not imposing.

After the two made up their minds, Zhou Qi said: "Zhu Wen's envoy is still in the post house, I will arrange for someone to kill him now!"

This is to accept the name and show firm determination and stand.

Yang Fuguang didn't give in: "Why do you need to be incorruptible, there are people here in our family, although they are not the top masters, but it is more than enough to kill a messenger." ”

Yang Fuguang expressed his unconditional trust in Yang Fuguang.

Both of them were moved by each other, and they were about to say something more, when they suddenly heard a sneer from the roof: "The two of them are so loyal to the Tang family, but it makes Poor Dao also very moved." It's a pity that you can't kill the messenger, not only can't you kill it, but your own lives can't be saved!"

"What person?" Yang Fuguang and Zhou Qi were startled, listening to each other's voices, they were on the roof, and before that, they didn't find each other's whereabouts at all, and they didn't feel each other's breath, which shows that the other party's cultivation is much higher than theirs, but who else in Xuzhou will be even higher than their cultivation?

The two of them looked at each other, got up from the ground, and threw their fists at the roof, directly smashing the roof and rushing out of the flying broken wood rubble.

Standing on the roof, Yang Fuguang and Zhou Qi stood side by side, and immediately saw five Taoists.

The man who was over half a hundred years old stood on the roof of the next courtyard, with a dusty sneer on his face. On the roofs and courtyard walls on all sides, there are four negative sword Daoists standing high and low, and the demeanor of those four people is dusty, but unlike the free and ethereal temperament of ordinary Taoists, they actually exude the aura of iron-blooded killing, obviously not Qing Daoists, but have experienced many bloody battles!

Seeing these five people, Yang Fuguang and Zhou Qi couldn't help but look pale, and they both felt a strong coercion from each other's bodies, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, which made the two of them breathless.

As the envoy of the temperance in the hinterland of the Central Plains, in the land of continuous war, Zhou Qi's cultivation is not low, and he has broken through the middle stage of qi training and reached the seventh level of qi training. And Yang Fuguang is from the deep palace, and his cultivation is even one level higher, and he is in the realm of the eighth layer of qi training!

But now, Yang Fuguang clearly felt that each of the five Daoists had given him great pressure, which showed that the other party's cultivation was actually practicing the ninth layer of qi!
