"Master Zongxin has to be a man of his word. ”

Zhang Bo gritted his teeth and directly pulled out the knife to look at Li Hongmao, who was so frightened that his face turned pale. What does this grandson want to do? Is he going to cut off his own head to survive? Impossible, Zong Xin just said that he was ready to spare Zhang Bo's life, it was Zhang Bo who gave him this opportunity, he didn't need to kill himself at all, he just had to leave.

Zhang Bo was ruthless, gritted his teeth and directly cut off the little finger of his left hand, caught the little finger with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Li Hongmao. Even though he was covered in blood, Zhang Bo still did not change his face.

Zhang Bo said: "Master Zongxin, you said that you cut off a head, but you didn't say what the head was, and the finger was also a head." You said that as long as you cut off a head, you will let the living people go, but you are a high-ranking monk of the present generation, don't talk about it, don't count. ”

Zong Xin glanced at Zhang Bo, then nodded and said, "Let's go, anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved." If you have the opportunity to see Li Jing, you will borrow a word for me, as long as there is a day when my sect is here, no one will want to capture the Great Zhou. This time, my target is only Murong Yanchao, telling Li Jing that if he wants to live, he wants to keep Datang, just give me an honest retreat, otherwise the army will kill directly to Jinling. You don't have enough troops to contend with me, as for the rest...... Hearing the name of my Zongxin, they didn't dare to come to reinforcements, and when the time came, the Tang Dynasty changed hands, don't blame us, you Li clan rushed to kill everything. ”

"I must be replaced, thank you for the master's grace of not killing. Zhang Bo still pulled the reins of Li Hongmao's horse and ran away immediately, this time Li Hongmao's reaction was much faster, no matter how bumpy it was holding the horse's neck, no matter how strong the wind was, as long as he could run faster and farther, as long as Zongxin didn't catch up.

Zhang Bo also bandaged himself by the way, after all, he had a broken finger, Zhang Bo actually gritted his teeth in pain and almost fainted. It's just that now it's more important to escape, and it's too cost-effective to get two lives for one finger less.

However, Zhang Bo also hated himself for not being angry, Li Hongmao couldn't be blamed for being ambushed this time, no matter who was in command in that case, he would definitely lose. What's more, Li Hongmao was originally a fool, he was in charge of all the movements of this army, Li Hongmao just gave orders according to his own ideas, it was his own mistakes that led to the annihilation of the whole army, and he deserved to break a finger.

In fact, just now, Zhang Bo also reminded Li Hongmao that the terrain here in Matou Mountain is suitable for ambushes, and he should be careful when passing from here, and he should send someone to check the mountain first. And he was lazy, did not do what he had to do, and directly let the troops into the mountains, and as a result, he was really ambushed.

Zhang Bo really hated himself, he originally thought of it, but he was afraid of trouble that caused such a big disaster. Of course, the main reason is that Li Hongmao has caused too much trouble to himself in the past few days, and he is a little tired in his heart, so he will be lazy. Originally, I thought that Guo Wei's 80,000 troops were all trapped in the west city of Xuzhou, as for Zong Xin...... I didn't expect him to appear here at all, not Xuzhou.

Zhang Bo didn't hold a grudge against Zong Xin, because he deserved to have his fingers cut off, and he understood Zong Xin's intention in doing this. In fact, Zong Xin made it meaningless to let himself cut off his fingers, whether it was for him, Li Hongmao, for himself, or even for the entire battle situation.

Why did that Zongxin do this? He was a high-ranking monk, and he wouldn't let himself cut off his fingers for fun. He just wanted to remind himself that he would be punished for making a mistake, and this was the first time he had made a mistake, so he cut his finger, and if he made a mistake again next time, he would cut his head.

Zhang Bo was not sad about what had just happened, but was a little excited. Because he saw the future of the Tang Dynasty, if the Third Highness is really not blind, and there is an imperial appearance like Chongtong, then he will definitely do his best to assist the Third Highness to ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, and only if he becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have a future.

His Royal Highness was originally the best choice to ascend the throne, but because he was blind, no one was optimistic about him, and no one even cared about him. Unexpectedly, not only is he not blind, but he also has heavy pupils, no wonder His Royal Highness has shown extraordinary abilities since he was a child.

Li Hongji and Li Hongmao don't have to think about the two straw bales at all, but they must follow. Zhang Bo has already made up his mind at this point, this time it can be regarded as saving Li Hongmao's life, and he will continue to stay by his side in the future, no matter what, he will follow him with a dead face, as long as he is by his side, there will be countless opportunities to ask for his life, including Li Hongji.

Zhang Bo probably guessed that the reason why Master Zongxin kept his life was to betray Li Hongmao and Li Hongji at a critical time and let them die in his own hands. Only in this way can the Third Highness Li Congjia successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor. But before that, you have to get on good terms with these two bales.

Zong Xin said a good word for himself just now, this matter is enough to make Li Hongmao fully trust himself, and the next thing is to have a good relationship with Li Hongji. I believe that with Li Hongmao's recommendation, this matter is not difficult.

The two of them rode their horses for dozens of miles in one go, and only stopped to rest after the horses had no strength. Li Hongmao kept panting, because Zong Xin's killing intent just now was too strong, how could anyone who had not practiced martial arts stand it? Li Hongmao was already sweating profusely, and if Zong Xin pulled out and cut him at that time, he wouldn't even have the consciousness to fight back.

"It's considered alive......" Li Hongmao said: "General Zhang, thanks to you for saving the king's life this time, the little king of Jinling will definitely reward you well." ”

"No, no, no, this time it's a dilemma for His Highness, the last general is not good at the art of war, and he just said that Matou Mountain is suitable for ambush, but who would have thought that Zong Xin was really inside. ”

Li Hongmao immediately waved his hand and said: "There is no need to mention this matter in the future, this matter is no wonder to you, it is Zong Xin's art of war that is too powerful, even my father is not his opponent, let alone you." I heard Master Zongxin say just now that he originally wanted to let you live, but you insisted on taking me with you, so you did it, and he asked you to cut off a head, and you actually cut off your finger, which shows that you are very smart and can be used. I've made a note of your kindness, although I'm not a good person, but I can still do it if I have a favor. From now on, you will be my close faction, and if you have my share, you will have your share. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your promotion. ”

"It's just a trivial matter, you have a meritorious role in saving the driver, otherwise I will definitely be captured alive by Zong Xin as a hostage this time, whether my father will care about me is a question, and this king's little life must not be saved." Therefore you are my savior, and you will save me from prison. This little thing is not worth mentioning at all for the life of this king. Li Hongmao was really grateful to Zhang Bo, although he had just written down his name, but this person's status in his heart suddenly became extremely high.

Think about it, if Zhang Bo hadn't saved himself this time, maybe Zong Xin would have been killed directly by Zong Xin just now. Or if he is captured alive by Zong Xin, he will inevitably be tortured for months or even years, and Zong Xin will use himself to blackmail his father. In terms of today's Tang national strength, the father can't control himself, even if Zongxin proposes a ransom of 1,000 taels of gold, the father can't take it out, let alone let the father withdraw or surrender for himself, which is also impossible.

When the time comes, Zong Xin will either kill him directly, or lock him up, so that he will live like a pig and a dog, and when it is completely useless, he will still kill himself.

This time, it was all up to Zhang Bo's loyalty to protect the lord, Zong Xin had already given him a way out, but he still had to take himself with him, and he did not hesitate to cut off one of his fingers. This kind of loyal minister, this kind of talent, of course, should be reused, not only to repay the favor, but also for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, because this is a talent.

Li Hongmao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's take a break and set off, go back to Huainan directly, it is estimated that Master Zongxin will not catch up again." After experiencing this incident, I will never go to the battlefield in my life, the battlefield is too dangerous, and I know how much ability I have, even if I lead a million troops to kill an immortal, the whole army will be wiped out. ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to depreciate himself, it's just that Zongxin is too powerful, it's a big deal that we don't provoke him. Isn't it the same to turn around and fight Wu Yueguo?"

Li Hongmao nodded and said: "This is very reasonable, it is better to cause less trouble in the future." Also, I must immediately send someone to bring Master Zongxin's words to my father, at this time it is no longer a question of whether to give face or not, I must withdraw immediately, otherwise he will really completely destroy my Li family. Let's go, don't delay. ”

"Yes. ”

The two of them rode to Huainan very chicly, and when they went out of the city, there were 8,000 people, and in the end there were only two people left, and they were very lucky because they had just escaped.

Li Hongmao didn't care about the life or death of those soldiers at all, as long as he was alive and better. Of course, he didn't care how to explain it after he went back, because the ambush they encountered by Zongxin, in other words, the ending was the same for anyone, and they might not be able to save their lives, this time they could save their lives was already powerful, and they could even show off.

Of course, Zhang Bo is still a face-saving person, and he will never talk about this matter, but Li Hongmao's two hundred and five is not necessarily. He may also think that this is a very interesting and worthy of showing off, and it is not easy to escape from Zong Xin's hands.

Zhang Bo only sighed about this matter, Li Hongmao is too two hundred and five, but after all, he is the second highness of the dynasty, except for Li Hongji, he is the most qualified to ascend the throne and be the emperor, if Li Hongji accidentally has any accidents...... Then there is no hope for the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Bo was still thinking about another thing, how could he connect with the Third Highness Li Congjia. He must tell Li Congjia that he knows that he is not blind, and this is what Master Zongxin told him to help him ascend the throne and become emperor in secret.

Although Li Jing is not too old now, this kind of thing must start preparing as soon as possible. After all, the Tang Dynasty can't give Li Hongji and Li Hongmao two straw bales, and they must let the Third Highness hit with one blow and directly seize the throne.
