When night fell, the soldiers who had been running all day could not rest, at most they took turns to dismount and move their legs and feet, say a few gossips, and excrete the burden of their stomachs.

Zhang Ji arrived under the escort of more than ten guards, a little earlier than the Central Plains, and found that the meeting place was a tent on the side of the road, surrounded by three circles of soldiers, only the outermost people held torches, they were dozens of steps away from the tent, if anyone wanted to determine the location of the tent through these lights, they would be very disappointed.

The torches of the entire Shule army were pitiful, like a giant snake entrenched at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, with only half of the snake's head exposed.

Zhang Ji turned around and looked, more than ten miles away, the light of the Jinpeng Army lined up in a long column, like a team carrying lanterns in the festival, adding a bit of joy rather than fear.

Mr. Teach frowned and whispered a few words to one of the guards, who nodded again and again, and turned around and headed towards the Jinpeng Army.

A Shule officer stepped forward to greet him, Zhang Ji left his entourage outside, walked into the tent alone, and found that the Dragon King was not there, and those waiting inside were Xu Xiaoyi and Chu Nanping.

"The Dragon King will be there soon. Xu Xiaoyi said weakly.

Zhang Ji nodded, as if he didn't know him, thinking that the Dragon King was really cautious, afraid that someone would assassinate him, so he had to wait for the guests to enter the tent before he came, worthy of being a killer.

This is an ordinary marching tent, the tall Zhang Ji has to bend in, after straightening his body, his hair is less than two feet from the top of the tent, there is no decoration in it, only three simple chairs, Zhang Ji sat down unceremoniously, waiting for Pang Jing and the Dragon King, Jinpeng Fort is now in absolute weakness, he naturally can't make too many requests.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhang Ji turned to Xu Xiaoyi and said, "It seems that our previous agreement is going to be invalidated." ”

Xu Xiaoyi's face turned red all of a sudden, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all you, it's you who hurt me." ”

Zhang Ji's expression became stern, "I don't understand why you have this thought?"

It was this kind of appearance that made Xu Xiaoyi give up the loyalty he had insisted on for many years, "You promise me...... You promise me ......"

Zhang Ji frowned, and said a little impatiently: "You are not a child, you have to judge things for yourself, I am the military advisor of the Dubu King, of course I guarantee that the Dragon King will be defeated and die, is there anything strange about this? ”

Xu Xiaoyi was speechless for a long time, and suddenly jumped up, wanting to pounce on Zhang Ji, but was pulled by Chu Nanping, "He is a guest of the Dragon King." ”

Zhang Ji shook his head in disappointment, thinking that there were too few capable people around the Dragon King, just like this Xu Xiaoyi, who was smart and clever when he did things for the Dragon King, once he left the Dragon King, he would return to his original appearance, which was not much different from the scoundrels on the streets of Nancheng.

But why did the Dragon King win? Zhang Ji's thoughts left Xu Xiaoyi, and he was not even in this tent.

Pang Jing lifted the curtain of the tent, leaned in half of his body, and asked in surprise, "Where is the Dragon King?"

"It's coming soon. Xu Xiaoyi reluctantly spoke, and the courage he had finally gathered was used up in the blink of an eye.

Pang Jing smacked his lips dissatisfied, hesitated for a while before entering the tent, sat directly on the main seat in the middle, and smiled at Zhang Ji: "This reminds me of the night before yesterday, before the competition began, I, the Dragon King, and the Dubu King were still discussing who should be responsible for Tie Shan, everyone didn't want to, pushing each other around, but I didn't expect that it had only been two days, and the situation was reversed, and they all wanted Tie Shan to fall to themselves." Haha, the world is impermanent. ”

Zhang Ji's face was not very good-looking, but he still bowed to the protector of the Western Regions, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled, then sat back in the chair and said: "Yes, the world is impermanent, the day before yesterday I couldn't think of today's things, and today I can't think of tomorrow's changes." ”

Pang Jing laughed happily, no matter how the Western Regions changed, he couldn't change it, because he was from the Central Plains, and he was the indulger of this chess game in the Western Regions, not a chess piece.

The Dragon King walked in, and Pang Jing greeted him warmly, as if he was really the owner of this tent.

Xu Xiaoyi respectfully saluted the Dragon King and left with Chu Nanping without saying a word, treating this as an ordinary task.

Gu Shenwei sat down and looked at the backs of the two.

Pang Jing misunderstood the meaning of the Dragon King's gaze, and said with emotion: "God is jealous of talents, if a person is too prominent in a certain aspect, sooner or later he will encounter misfortune, Luo Qikang is an example, Chu Nanping is also the same, the world's unparalleled appearance, but the eyes are bad." Alas, they are all old men wood, he is a killer sent by God, and he finally died, but unfortunately, he died too easily, but he saved us all a lot of gold. ”

The tent was small, Pang Jing only said a few words, Xu Xiaoyi and Chu Nanping had already lowered the curtain, and their figures disappeared.

Gu Shenwei retracted his gaze, "What are we going to talk about?"

Zhang Ji pressed his hands to his knees and said, "An army of 100,000 people is approaching the Qianqi Pass, and the war is just around the corner, but I hope to make a deal to stop this winless war." ”

Xu Xiaoyi deliberately slowed down, and glanced back at Chu Nanping every few steps, and soon found that he didn't need to be so cautious, Chu Nanping followed very closely, and he didn't make a wrong step, even the potholes and stones on the ground could be easily bypassed, not like a person with blurred vision at all.

It's just that his gaze still seems empty and blank, as if he has changed back to the way he was a few years ago, simple and cold.

Tie Linglong came head-on, and Xu Xiaoyi no longer had to take on the role of the leader.

Chu Nanping stopped and asked, "Let's go to a place where no one is." ”

Xu Xiaoyi nodded, forgetting about his good friend's eye disease.

This time it was Tie Linglong who led the way, Xu Xiaoyi was in the center, and after the first Nanping Palace, the three of them walked southward, getting farther and farther away from the army and tents, gradually entering the wilderness, bypassing a bush, walking down a gentle slope, and then turning around, nothing could be seen, and occasionally a horse neighing came.

The moon is missing more than half, but it is extremely bright, Xu Xiaoyi has never seen such a bright night in his life, looking far away, the outline of the Tianshan Mountain is clearly placed in front of him, the Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong in front of him and behind him seem to be glowing, and there is no surprise, more than a dozen steps away, three horses are lowering their heads, gnawing on a small tuft of grass on the ground.

"Where do you think it's redundant?" asked Chu Nanping.

"Huh?" Xu Xiaoyi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Tie Linglong explained: "Look, those three horses are for you, with enough food and water for ten days, you ride them east for about a day or two, and you will reach Shuangquan Village, from where you will turn south and enter the ...... of Xiaoyao Haishi Country."

The more Xu Xiaoyi listened, the more shocked he became, "What do you mean, you want to let me go?"

"It's not us, it's the Dragon King. Tie Linglong sighed, as if reluctant, "He gave you so many opportunities, but you never ran, so we had to let you go, but you have to leave something, and in the future, you can't let others find out that the Dragon King is soft on you." ”

Xu Xiaoyi opened his mouth, couldn't believe his ears, and turned to Chu Nanping, "Is it true?"

Chu Nanping held the hilt of his sword, "Why are we going to lie to you?"

Xu Xiaoyi thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't believe this is the Dragon King's idea, did he say these things to you personally?"

Tie Linglong sighed anxiously again, "Of course not, how could the Dragon King say such a thing? But he didn't kill you immediately after the competition, didn't lock you up, didn't even announce the news, didn't he just give you a chance to escape? ”

Xu Xiaoyi couldn't say a word in a daze, Tie Linglong's words did make some sense, he could easily escape from Biyu City all yesterday, without any hindrance, and even take away a large amount of gold and silver, which was his funds for collecting intelligence.

But he was too scared, he felt that the entire Western Regions and the Northern Court were the territory of the Dragon King, and he had nowhere to escape, he didn't think that the Dragon King would not pursue him at all.

Probably looking at Xu Xiaoyi's pitiful appearance, Tie Linglong softened his tone slightly, "Xiao Chu asked the Dragon King for someone, this is the last chance, the Dragon King knows it, and still agrees, so you don't ask more, leave a hand, a foot or something, prove that you are dead, and then- never come back, go to the country of incense, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, just suitable for hiding." ”

"What about my sister?" Xu Xiaoyi asked blankly.

"Don't think about her, she didn't do anything wrong, the Dragon King won't punish her, wait a few years, and Xiao Chu and I will tell her the truth." ”

Xu Xiaoyi turned to Xiao Chu again, as if he still couldn't believe Tie Linglong's words.

Chu Nanping stood straight, and the long sword in his hand would be unsheathed at any time.

"Hurry up and decide. Tie Linglong urged, "I suggest you give up one foot, although walking is affected, you can still ride a horse, without hands, it is inconvenient to do things." ”

Xu Xiaoyi still refused to speak, and Chu Nanping said: "The Dragon King actually didn't say that he had to kill a token. ”

The Dragon King didn't say anything. Tie Linglong raised her voice slightly, "It's the two of us who make their own decisions to release people, in case the news leaks, you and I will also take responsibility, and it has nothing to do with the Dragon King." Xu Xiaoyi ...... after all You can't go unpunished, can you?"

Xu Xiaoyi looked at Tie Linglong, a piece of thing lying across his chest suddenly shattered, he took in a large breath of air, and found that the taste of the wilderness was so delicious that he could hardly bear to exhale it again.

"No, I'm not running away. He said, feeling that everything was so simple, "What I have done, I will bear, tell my sister that this is my idea, I want to die myself, please don't blame anyone." Xiao Chu, do me a favor, one last time. ”

Tie Linglong felt that time had been wasted, and was about to speak, but swallowed back the words in her heart, turned around and walked a few steps, letting the two of them decide for themselves.

Chu Nanping still held the sword, but did not pull it out.

"My sister is right. Xu Xiaoyi said softly, "If I just guarded the door for the Dragon King, or became an entourage, this would not have happened, I would still be very happy, and we probably wouldn't have any problems, but I don't blame the Dragon King, it's that I am too greedy, and when the Dragon King deprives me of financial power, I am actually very dissatisfied in my heart." I overestimate myself too much, Xiao Chu, sometimes you overestimate yourself too, please help me give me a sword, I would rather die at your hands, this is the Dragon King's greatest grace to me, and only you can explain it to my sister. But please do one thing, don't think about any swordsmanship, you are not that kind of person, cherish the Iron Maiden, although the world is big, only she is the only person worthy of your love, not me, nor the Dragon King, only her. ”

Chu Nanping slowly drew his sword and only said three words, "It won't hurt." ”

Tie Linglong, who was not far away, wanted to cry inexplicably.
