Chapter 371: Striving for Merit

At that moment, Xue Peng pointed to the sky and said, "Look, there is a rain of spirit stones falling from the sky." ”

The leader of the team, Jin Jiawei, didn't raise his head, stared at Xue Peng and said, "Captain Xue, if you ...... again." ”

Before he could finish his words, a spirit stone smashed on his head.

The team leader was stunned for a moment, and such a thought appeared in his heart, "It's really raining spiritual stones, is it possible that there will be a secret realm in the royal city?"

At this moment, a group of people rushed over with a hula, shouting in their mouths, "Spirit stones, my spirit stones, the spirit stones I scattered, don't grab them, don't grab them." ”

"Fart, this is obviously the spirit stone I scattered, it's all mine. ”

A group of Hanako shouted loudly, grabbed the spirit stones, and scattered this team of golden armor guards.

With a soft sound, the team leader pulled out his long knife and shouted, "You damned pariahs, if you want to die, get out of the way." ”

A group of people called Huazi suddenly dispersed, and the team leader put the knife back into its sheath and continued, "Tie up Captain Xue......." ”

He stopped abruptly halfway through his words, and found that Xue Peng had already taken advantage of the chaos to run.

After listening to the guard's story, Ji Yuanxuan said, "The eldest prince, this Xue Peng has always been cunning, but I am afraid that he has already noticed that the eldest prince is ready to do something to him." ”

"But as soon as he ran away like this, we also knew that he had made up his mind that he would not be on our side, and the eldest prince, in my opinion, might as well kill him. ”

The eldest prince said slowly, "Now, we have lost the opportunity, now Himeno, you will follow me into the palace immediately." ”

"Yes. ”

As he spoke, Himeno followed the eldest prince as he got up and walked towards the outside of the main hall.

At this time, in Xiangguo's mansion, Xiangguo Tianfeng was overjoyed when he heard Xue Peng, and set up a chess game again.

Xue Peng recounted what happened during this time, Tian Xiangguo stroked his beard, looked at Xue Peng with wise eyes and said with a smile, "In the battle of Mangdang Mountain, although you failed to capture Xiao Yang, but forced him to show his flaws, now Xiao Yang has injured the foundation, and he is no longer the threat of the year, even the old man did not expect that you could make such an achievement in the battle of Mangdang, the old man is deeply grateful." ”

Xue Peng took a step and said with a smile, "It's not Xiangguo's teachings, Xiangguo, it's your turn." ”

Tian Xiangguo's face turned red, and he laughed, "You kid, you don't forget to pat yourself at any time, but this time I will use it." ”

Xue Peng smiled, looked at Tian Xiangguo's eyes and said tentatively, "Lord Xiangguo, did Wang Shangti mention anything else?"

Tian Xiangguo glanced at Xue Peng, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You mean the matter of Mangdang's treasure house." ”

"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from Tian Xiangguo, Xiangguo, you also know, for this battle of Mangdang, I spent five million lower grade spirit stones, and now I am so poor that I don't give military salaries, I can't help it, I have collected millions of lower grade spirit stones in the vast wandering, these are not enough to supplement the consumption of military salaries, Xiangguo, look, can you apply to the king to allocate a little more spirit stones. ”

Tian Xiangguo scolded with a smile when he heard this, "You, you, you have a huge treasure house and are not greedy enough, I can't help with this favor, at most, let the king not worry about what you got from Mangdang." ”

Xue Peng's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed, "Xie Xiangguo." ”

"Look at your little interest, isn't it just a little spirit stone wealth. Tian Xiangguo shook his head.

Xue Peng said with a smile, "Xiangguo is honest and honest, so naturally he doesn't care, but I'm a layman, and the thousand mouths are waiting for me to feed them." ”

"Okay, play chess, and you will come with me to meet the king in a moment. ”

At that moment, Xue Peng played with his heart, and Tian Xiangguo found from the game with Xue Peng that after experiencing this battle of Mangdang, this kid's chess strength has improved a lot.

However, Xue Peng did not survive the seventy steps.

Seventy steps later, Tian Xiangguo had an absolute advantage, as if the two armies were facing each other, fighting head-on, tearing a hole from Xue Peng's front, and then the momentum was like a bamboo, attacking the city and winning the final victory.

After a game of chess, Tian Xiangguo said slowly, "The victory or defeat of a battle is often won by odds, with a positive coincidence, in the battle of Mangdan, although you have a surprise soldier, but due to your own lack of strength, if it is not for the arrival of the eunuch, you will not only have no merits, but you are afraid that your own life will also be involved." ”

"So, if you want to win, you need strength, strength of integrity. ”

Xue Peng immediately bowed his hand and said, "Thank you Xiangguo for your teachings." ”

Tian Xiangguo stood up and said slowly, "Let's go, let's go to the palace." ”

"Yes. ”

Xue Peng followed Tian Xiangguo, and along the way, Tian Xiangguo was like his master, giving him a feeling of returning to Master Lu.

At this moment, Xue Peng's expression became more and more respectful, and his body bent slightly.

Tian Xiangguo also saw this subtle movement in his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You can teach you." ”

About half an hour later, Xue Peng followed Tian Xiangguo to the back garden of the palace.

At this time, the early dynasty has passed, but for some reason, there are many people standing in the back garden, and the person at the head is the eldest prince Jiang Lie, and there is also the crown prince Jiang Xuan standing on the side.

King Wen was fishing with a fishing rod at the moment, and said slowly, "Regarding the matter of the deputy commander, we will talk about it when Tian Xiangguo arrives." ”

The chief eunuch on the side said, "Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to invite Xiangguo?"

"No, that old thing, I'll come by myself in a moment. ”

At this time, the inner supervisor said, "Your Majesty, Xiangguo and Xue Xiaowei have arrived." ”

King Wen smiled, "Look, what did this king say, as soon as he said him, he arrived, and sent them in." ”

The inner supervisor retreated, walked up to the two of them and said, "Tian Xiangguo, Xue Xiaowei, and Wang Shangjiao go in." ”

Tian Xiangguo walked in first, followed by Xue Peng.

When they arrived at the back garden, the two saluted.

"Weichen, Tian Feng, Xue Peng, I have seen the king. ”

"Excuse me, you are all here for the sake of the deputy commander, this king said before, whoever captures Xiao Yang will be the deputy commander, but at the moment, although you have not been able to capture Xiao Yang, but the Mangdang bandits have been calmed down, but it is also a great achievement. ”

"You all talk about it, who has the greatest credit for this battle of Mangdan. ”

At this time, Ji Yuanxuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as a scholar of the Ministry of War, he is familiar with the art of war, and he knows that if he wants to win, it is absolutely impossible to rely on speculation, and it depends on the overall strength, the number of soldiers, the combat strength of the soldiers, how morale, how the supply of food and grass, in the final analysis, is the comprehensive strength of fighting a war." ”

"In order to attack Mangdang Mountain, Captain Ji led the headquarters of 3,000 Xuanwu cavalry, and asked the Beida Battalion 10,000 infantry to help in the battle, within a few days, Lianke Mangdang seven battalions, like a bamboo, into the hinterland of Mangdang, under the iron hooves of my Daxiao, Mangdang bandits are all powder, the king, who has the greatest credit in this battle, presumably the king has already known. ”
