"Murong Hao!"

"The prince of the Black Sand Kingdom?"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and the bearded military general stood up even more and said in disbelief: "Is this true?

These people are Li Ji's confidants and favorite generals, so they naturally all know that Ji Wuyi asked Li Ji to help arrest Murong Hao, but they don't know that he is the prince of the Black Sand Country, so they are all a little out of shape.

"Little one, sure!" Tie Xiong nodded, "The little one eavesdropped on the conversation between several of them, saying that Murong Hao was killed by traitors and had to escape from the Black Sand Country. This time, he was going to cross the border of Great Qin to meet the monarch of Xiliang. ”

"What is the monarch of Xiliang doing?" the bearded military general frowned, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Does he want to form an alliance with Xiliang to invade our Great Qin?"

Tie Xiong shook his head and said, "It's not clear, I only heard a few words before they found out." ”

The bearded military general looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You dare to confirm the identity of the other party with just a few words of dialogue?"

"I haven't seen it!" Tie Xiong shook his head and said, "But Deputy Commander Song has seen it." Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of several people, he explained, "One of those people has extremely high martial arts, and I was discovered by him." Thankfully, I jumped into the river when I saw the bad opportunity, but I was still slapped in the shoulder. If it weren't for Deputy Commander Song's envoy to arrive in time, I am afraid that he would have died. At this point, he couldn't help but shudder, obviously quite jealous of that person.

The bearded general still refused to let him go, and asked again: "What does this have to do with Boryeong City's borrowing troops?"

"This is a question that the king answers you!" Li Ji, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

The bearded general hurriedly bowed.

Li Ji's eyes looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see the location of the city through the heavy mountains, and said slowly: "Because, that prince is now imprisoned in the prison of Boryeong City. ”

When the bearded general heard this, he suddenly realized: "No wonder the Black Sand Congress has formed an alliance with us......" Speaking of this, he suddenly knelt down and said loudly, "The last general misunderstood the prince before, please punish the prince!"

The remaining generals glanced at each other, knelt down, and said in unison: "Please punish the prince!"

Li Ji looked at several confidants, nodded with satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "Everything is decided and then moved, how can this king be a reckless person." The punishment will be waived, and when you fight against Xiliang later, everyone will fight bravely to kill the enemy. Get up!"

All the generals said in unison: "Lord Xie, the last general will wait for him to die with all his might!"

Li Ji said: "The hour is not early, you all go down and prepare! Leave early tomorrow morning!" After speaking, Chong was about to turn around and leave, "You stay!"

"The last general will retire!"

Li Ji looked at the sergeant who was a little nervous and said, "You knew me before?"

Tie Xiong shook his head and said, "Today is the first time I have seen the prince. However, the younger father was fortunate to meet the prince in the early years. Speaking of this, he pulled a piece of jade pendant from his neck and presented it, "This is left by the little father, please take a look at the prince." ”

Li Ji took the jade pendant and looked at it, the jade color was mixed and with a hint of turbidity, it was not a good jade, so he said with some puzzlement: "What is so special about this jade pendant?"

Tie Xiong said: "The youngest father's name is Tie Yi, and he was a jailer in Qinzhou Prison. This jade pendant is the physical evidence that the Li family framed his father for accepting bribes. ”

"Iron Wing ......"

Li Ji searched for this familiar name in his mind, and then looked at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, an old case from a few years ago came to mind, and said: "Is it the iron wing who was connected by the 'Lingzhu case' back then?

"Exactly!" Tie Xiong's eyes were a little gloomy when he heard this, and he said, "My father passed away three years ago. ”

Li Ji was silent and said, "That's a pity." Ling Zun is brave and upright, but being a small cell boss is really condescending. The king had promised to find an official position for him after returning to Beijing, but he didn't want to be forgotten by other things as soon as he was delayed. Speaking of which, it is this king who owes you the Tie family. ”

"Lord Wang, don't say that!" Tie Xiong was so anxious that he shook his head and waved his hand, and said solemnly, "Father has always said that the eldest husband should do something and not do something, he just did what he thought he should do. And if it weren't for the king's rescue, not only the jailers in the Qinzhou prison would have died unjustly, but even some innocent people would have been implicated. It was you who saved us, you are our great benefactor in Qinzhou. At this point he suddenly knelt down and slammed his head several times. When he raised his head again, his forehead was full of gloom, and he obviously knocked it very solidly.

Li Ji didn't stop it, but bowed his head slightly and said: "This is all Your Majesty's wisdom, otherwise this king will not be able to do anything." Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can step aside! Go back and tell Song Yanjun to take a good look at Murong Hao, if there is any mistake, this king will never spare it!"

Tie Xiong hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the little one will retire!" After speaking, he turned around and retreated.

Finally, there were only three young men with different expressions left in the pavilion, each quietly thinking about their own thoughts.

There was no other sound in the entire garden, except for the slight breathing of a few people. At this moment, there is no prince in the pavilion, there is no Shaodutong, and there is no Lord Su, there are just three young people who are like brothers.

The wind, I don't know when it blew. Like a naughty child, one moment plucking the wicker, the next shaking the flower branches. Finally, the tall osmanthus tree by the pavilion was brushed, and a faint fragrance was sent to the noses of the three people, and along with the fragrance of the flowers, there were also small, white osmanthus petals.

Li Ji looked at the rain of petals falling in front of him and muttered, "Autumn has arrived!"

Ni Pengcheng sighed: "Yes, autumn has arrived!"

Li Ji turned his head to look at Ni Pengcheng and said, "Pengcheng, you won't blame me!"

Ni Pengcheng shook his head, glanced around and didn't speak, but raised the wine glass in his hand, the meaning was self-evident.

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then raised his wine glass with a slight smile.

The two turned their eyes to Su Jing, who was silent on the side.

Sensing the gaze of the two, Su Jing raised his eyes slightly, and there was no expression on his masked face, but those cold and deep eyes seemed to hide the abyss.

He didn't mean to clink glasses with the two, so he just took the wine glass in front of him and drank it down, then stood up and left without saying a word.

Li Ji's face suddenly darkened, and his outstretched hand suddenly stiffened, but he didn't put up the prince's shelf to stop drinking, but also drank the wine in the cup.

Ni Pengcheng was left alone holding a wine glass, his expression was quite embarrassed, looking at Su Jing, who had left resolutely, and Li Ji, who was silent, slowly drank the wine in the cup alone, and said, "Lord Wang, I'll go to the camp to check and set off." ”

Li Ji nodded slightly, and said, "It's okay! Beigong Tai Nai is a veteran of a hundred battles, not only is there a cloud of masters around him, but his own martial arts should not be underestimated, you must be more careful when you go." After a pause at this point, he added, "If you are not sure, you might as well call Master Su to join you." ”

"Thank you Lord Wang for reminding me, Weichen has written it down!" Ni Pengcheng got up and owed a debt, and then turned around and left.

Li Ji sat alone in front of the table full of almost untouched delicacies, drinking wine cup after glass, not even noticing that the petals fell into the wine, and still took the wine glass and drank it all.

At this time, the calmness on his face had disappeared, replaced by the worry that could not be erased between his eyebrows. I don't know if I'm worried about the safety of Liangzhou City, or if I'm caught up in other things. Until a pair of slender hands gently held his hand holding the pot, he raised his slightly drunk eyes to look at the visitor, and smiled after a while: "Qianyu, you are here!"

It was a beautiful woman who was at the prime of life, and at this time, under her delicate nose, her delicate cherry lips opened slightly, and she said softly: "Lord Wang, you can't drink anymore!" Her voice was extremely soft, with a hint of Jiangnan woman's unique softness, which sounded extraordinarily comfortable, and it seemed that even the troubled and impetuous heart had calmed down.

A doting smile appeared on Li Ji's face, and he said, "If you don't let this king drink, this king won't drink." ”

Qianyu smiled at him and said, "The concubine helped the prince to go in to rest." ”

"Good!"

At this moment, Li Ji was very well-behaved, closed his eyes slightly, let the woman help him get up, and slowly walked towards the inner courtyard.

At the same time, Ni Pengcheng, who had already caught up with Su Jing quickly, was full of anger, and stood in front of him and said unkindly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Su Jing glanced at him and said lightly, "Even if I tell you, do you have a way to stop it?"

Ni Pengcheng was suddenly a little speechless, and he held back for a long time and said: "Although I can't stop it, at least I can prepare in advance." At least not as much as it is now. ”

"Ready?" Su Jing let out a rare laugh and said, "Dare to love Ni Shaodu, and he really regards himself as an important minister." ”

Ni Pengcheng's face suddenly turned red and said, "I know I did something stupid, but you don't have to be so mean." I am willing to risk my life to save Xiaoxi, even if I lose the Ni family's military power. What about you? What are you going to do but stick there like a piece of wood?"

Before he finished speaking, Su Jing suddenly laughed and said coldly: "Do you think that with the power of the Ni family, you will have more points? Could it be that you don't know, this will not only not save her, but will harm her." The Ni family really did a stupid thing by sending you to the barracks early. His wording was unceremoniously, and even Taishi Ni was directly scolded. Because the decision to send Ni Pengcheng to the barracks was made by Mrs. Ni herself.

Ni Pengcheng was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't care about the ridicule between the other party's words, and hurriedly said: "How can I say this? I am saving her, how can I hurt her?"

Su Jing glanced at him seriously, and seeing that his anxious expression did not seem to be fake, he nodded and said, "This is not the place to talk, you come with me." Then he moved and flew towards an alley.

Seeing this, Ni Pengcheng hurriedly raised his breath and followed.
