Dodun's face changed suddenly, and he made a look, and the companions around him rushed over, randomly selected boxes to open, and even knocked over several boxes belonging to the Dragon King in Lu Nan regardless of the obstacle, which were full of iron ingots, weapons, cotton clothes, and other things, without a trace of gold or silver.

Dotun glared at the Dragon King, "You're here for these things?"

Gu Shenwei was slightly surprised, "These are all important military supplies, what else does His Royal Highness the Prince want?"

For the first time, Dotun was furious with the Dragon King, and almost wanted to give the order to war at all costs, but he held back, the Dragon King was within ten steps, and no one could intercept him, "There will be a time later." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, walk slowly. Gu Shen said politely.

Dotun turned his horse's head, and an officer should not have asked, "Your Highness, these goods ......?"

Don raised his horsewhip and whipped it headless and facelessly, "Fool, take it." ”

The officer covered his face and went to give the order, but Dodun's anger dropped a little, he turned around again, and said to the dragon king with a smile: "In a few days, the little king Shulitu will lead a part of the army to the Western Regions to spend the winter, and the dragon king will go with me to review the soldiers, right?"

"Of course. ”

Liman nodded solemnly to the Dragon King, sighed for no reason, and followed Dotun.

The Beiting army dispersed the goods on the carts onto the horses and quickly retreated, while Fu [***] took all the livestock and vehicles with them, preferring to slow down rather than leave them to the Meng family and Jinpeng Fort.

A hundred Jinpeng soldiers were escorted to the Dragon King, their weapons were confiscated, all of them were nervous, some wanted to kneel, their knees bent twice, and forcibly held back.

"Your mission is over. Gu Shenwei said, "Let's go back to Biyu City." ”

The Dragon King let people go easily, the soldiers of the Jinpeng Army were all surprised, no one moved for a long time, the old man Mu came over, waving his long sword, "Don't you want to be grateful, do you want to kick your ass?"

At the same time, the Jin Peng army turned around and fled eastward, not even needing their mounts, and it would be a few miles before they would regret their decision.

Shangguan Fei rode all the way from the back of the team with his mouth open, shaking his head constantly, and only when he saw the Dragon King did he change into a flattering smile, "The Dragon King has long known...... No, this is the dragon king's trick at all, haha, you haven't even hid a piece of us, tell me what Dotun's expression is? I heard that he scolded his mother. ”

Old Man Mu thought a little further, and pointed to Duan Zihua not far away, "Do you need to kill your mouth?"

Duan Zihua was startled and hurriedly ran over, "Dragon King, I'm ......"

Gu Shenwei raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "You are safe, follow me from now on, and you don't have to go back to Biyu City." ”

Duan Zihua gave a deep salute, "Yes." He didn't recognize the dragon king in front of him as a stranger who broke into the private house at night to question him.

Tu Gou didn't particularly understand what was happening in front of him, and asked, "What the hell is going on? What about gold, silver and jewelry? Doesn't it mean that more than half of the Meng family's property is in the car?"

Old Man Mu turned around proudly, as if he had been an insider from beginning to end, "Stupid, the Dragon King already knew that such a big thing could not be hidden, so he simply made a plan to attract everyone's attention to the convoy, in fact, the gold, silver and jewelry of the Meng family had already been smuggled away by other methods." ”

"If it's really as many as the legend says, how can you get lucky?"

Slaughtering the dog and asking the question, the old man Mu couldn't answer, "The dog's head can't think of ideas, can't the dragon king think of it either?"

Tu Gou just smiled, he was used to the damage of the dragon king's head, and he didn't care much.

The remaining half of the goods were distributed among the carts and headed west along the main road, and since Dotun had participated in the "sharing of the spoils", Fu [***] no longer had to take the wilderness path.

The leaders of the four or five caravans all came to thank the dragon king, and they were allowed to remain attached to the tail of the caravan, but they all made up their minds and advised their masters to suspend business after sending the goods back, and there was no safe road in the Western Regions.

Three days later, Fu [***] returned to the barracks, and encountered no obstacles along the way, and the Beiting military outpost was almost allowed to pass with respect.

The supreme general of the army directly under the Dragon King is a deputy thousand lieutenants, a native of Xiaoyao Hai'an, named Wu Zongheng, who stayed in the town barracks, and as soon as the Dragon King returned, he came to ask for a meeting.

"As the Dragon King expected. Wu Zongheng said, with a serious expression, he had participated in the leak of the Empress Dowager Anguo, and was forgiven by the Dragon King, so he was extremely loyal, "The person has been arrested." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded, and didn't ask who was captured, "Take me to see him." ”

Prince Shule was nervously pacing back and forth in the tent, when he saw the Dragon King enter, he almost collapsed on the ground, forced himself to calm down, and pretended to be annoyed and said: "Dragon King, you have to give me an explanation, what is this? I am one of the commanders of the Fu [***], and I don't even have the right to ride out of the camp on horseback? Wu Qianwei actually imprisoned me, and said that it was your order. ”

"It's my order. Gu Shenwei said coldly, deliberately not looking at the prince, Wu Zongheng brought over a chair, Gu Shenwei sat on it, and then said in a commanding tone: "Sit down." ”

Prince Shule's knees were already weak, and he immediately sat on the couch, "Misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding here, Dragon King, listen to me......"

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "You know that I won't kill you, first, you are the prince of Shule Kingdom, and you still have appeal in the country; second, you have helped me in the past, and we have had a happy cooperation; third, you are Tie Linglong's brother, for her sake, I will also spare your life." ”

Prince Shule was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't tell whether he was relaxed or wronged, "Dragon King, you...... I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Do you have to tell me what I want to say? Don't you understand that I'm the only one who can protect you. ”

As soon as Prince Shule stepped forward, he seemed to want to resist to the end, but after a while, he shrank back like a deflated ball, and after thinking for a while, he whispered, "I want to talk to the Dragon King alone." ”

Wu Zongheng received a signal from the Dragon King and withdrew from the tent.

Prince Shule seemed to be a little calmer, "I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, nor am I an ungrateful person, everything I do is to rebuild the country of Shule." ”

"I believe it. ”

"The people of Beiting are too powerful, and all the countries in the Western Regions are not opponents, and it is impossible to drive them away by war. ”

"But you still borrowed troops from me. ”

"At that time, war was the only option, knowing that it was impossible to do it, but now it is different, the North Court is divided, and the Prince of Dotun wants to compete for the throne, compared to this ambition, the Shule Kingdom is not worth mentioning, so I wonder if it is possible to send the people of the North Court away by peaceful means. ”

"Do you want to, or does Dotun make you want to?"

Prince Shule's face turned red, "It's not important, the key is that this method is feasible, Prince Dotun promised me that in the spring and summer of next year, he will lead his troops back to the grassland and fight Luo Luo in a decisive battle, and when the time comes, ......" The prince hesitated for a moment before continuing, "When the time comes, he will allow Shule to restore the country, and he will also hand over the Tongtian Pass to the guards of Shule State, I just need to provide him with the necessary supplies." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't speak, Dotun did offer a tempting exchange plan, just like the one he proposed to the Dragon King, almost no one could refuse, unless it was certain from the beginning that it would never materialize.

Prince Shule eagerly wanted to defend himself, "This is a good deal, one of the most important reasons for Shule's death is that there is no natural danger to defend in the east, once you get the Tongtian Pass, it will not be easy for the people of Beiting to come in again." ”

"So you're going to betray me to the people of Beiting. ”

"No, no. The sweat on Dotun's face was even more, even during his exile, he had never been so embarrassed, "Dotun asked me to report the Dragon King's movements, never said...... He didn't attack the Dragon King, did he? Because I told him that I didn't want to kill the Dragon King, and the Dragon King was an important counterweight to Jinpeng Castle and the Central Plains. ”

Gu Shenwei did not point out the many loopholes in these sentences, "But you have disappointed Dotun." ”

Prince Shule hung his head in frustration, "It's my self-determination that I actually played a conspiracy in front of the Dragon King. Prince Dotun did not rob the Meng family of money, nor did he expect the Dragon King to bring an army of 10,000 men, thinking that I intended to provide false information, so I was asked to go to him immediately. ”

"So you want to run away. ”

"He's going to kill me!" Prince Shule raised his voice inexplicably, "Dodun...... Prince Dodon never forgave the mistakes of others. ”

Gu Shenwei stood up, this was enough, he was a little regretful, he threw off the bait, thinking that it would be the right general Shang Liao who fished out, but it turned out to be Prince Shule.

But this is also reasonable, Shang Liao is half-hearted about the Dragon King, but he is smart enough to see through Dodun's hypocrisy, and he is definitely more willing to maintain a balance between the two forces than to completely throw himself into one faction or another.

"You said you wouldn't kill me. Prince Shule said immediately, raising his arm and leaning back, as if a knife was slashing at him.

"I will not kill you, but you must hand over everything, the city, the grain, the soldiers, and the rich merchants and magnates of Shule, you know where they are hiding, and I will send someone to talk to them. ”

Prince Shule's face was dead, "In that case, wouldn't I have nothing?"

"Well, nothing, but I'll give you back a Shule country. When I occupy Biyu City and capture Jinpeng Fort, you will be the king of Shule. ”

"But Prince Dotun and the people of the North Court ......"

"They are my problem, not yours, stay in the barracks and don't try to run away again, this is my premise if I don't kill you. ”

Prince Shule looked at the Dragon King with a strange gaze, as if he was seeing him for the first time, "Yes, I will hand over everything." ”

Gu Shenwei returned to his tent, rested for a while, and suddenly said, "You have become less talkative recently. ”

Tie Linglong walked out, her tone slightly cold, "Because there's nothing to say." ”

Gu Shenwei looked at her, "Don't learn from me to lie, you're not good at this." ”

Tie Linglong blushed, she had a bunch of things she wanted to say to the Dragon King, hoping to get answers from him, but she was too ashamed to speak, so she changed the topic, "What kind of prince is that, why don't you just kill him?"

"Because the relationship between him has not been broken at all, I can't touch him for the time being. ”

Tie Linglong had heard the words "kill people before severing the relationship", but she never understood it very well, "Then take your time." ”

Gu Shenwei felt that Tie Linglong was a little weird, but this was not the first time, so he didn't particularly care, "How about what I asked you to do?"

"You mean looking for internal annihilation?"

"I want you to take it seriously, because among all of you, you're the only one I trust. ”

Tie Linglong's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly said, "I took it seriously, really, but there are not many clues." Shangguan Fei had a secret conversation with Mrs. Meng several times, and he was very happy every time he finished talking. Tugou is the most honest and has never seen strangers, but the old man Mu is different, he often disappears, no one knows where he has gone, and he doesn't ask. Han Wuxian, she couldn't see anyone at all, she seemed to be looking for something. Nie Zeng...... Nie Zeng didn't spy on the people of the Central Plains for two nights, he was mysterious, and there must be something hidden. ”

There are indeed not many clues, but they are cautious enough to draw preliminary conclusions.
