Azheba didn't decide to shoot until the last minute, and several reasons lingered in his mind, but none of them were unjustifiable.

Anyway, his first reason was to rescue Liman.

"Liman doesn't deserve to die. Azheba ordered five hundred panicked Beiting cavalry to stay where they were and run to the dragon king alone, "He has a lot of ideas, but he is loyal to His Royal Highness the prince, and he has no disagreement with the dragon king, if you die, no one can save him." ”

"What about that one?" asked Gu Shenwei, pointing to the corpse in the distance.

"Every king has a servant by his side, and I have always disliked it, that is, he found robbers to burn grain and grass, and it was he who came up with the idea to assassinate the dragon king. ”

"Prince Dodon is declaring war on me, and you're doing this to keep the alliance going?"

This idea is indeed a bit weird, but Azheba thinks so, "As far as I know, the Dragon King is not a person who is willful, in the Dragon Court, the King has been chased several times, and the Dragon King still maintains an ally. ”

"The king is dead. Gu Shenwei said that as an "ally", he sat back and watched the assassination of the king and did not make any effort to save it.

"I know. "Azheba is not completely simple, he doesn't have too many extravagant hopes for an alliance, "The Dragon King and His Royal Highness the Prince are not each other's biggest enemies, the grassland and the Western Regions can accommodate two kings, even if they can't fight side by side, they can not interfere with each other." ”

In Gu Shenwei's opinion, Azheba was still a little simple, "Okay, you got a promise from me: as long as Prince Dotun does not mean to harm others, I am willing to continue to maintain an alliance." ”

"And Liman. ”

Shangguan Yun had been observing from the side, and then interjected with a smile: "If the Dragon King doesn't die, Prince Duodun won't be able to quickly recover the hundreds of thousands of Beiting troops, and if he doesn't have a strong force, why would he kill Liman and offend Naihangbu?"

Azheba laughed as well, nodded to the Dragon King, and turned his horse back to his army.

Shangguan Yun looked at the figure of the Beiting people and shook his head, "Azheba is usually quite stable, how can he ...... today?" He was simply killing himself. ”

"It's not the first time. Gu Shenwei said that as early as the time of the Dragon Court, Azheba had to persuade the close servants to give up their faith in the old Khan King by himself.

Shangguan Yun knew what the Dragon King was referring to, and laughed: "I like him a little, I hope that Duo Dun will not be too stupid and kill him in a fit of anger, there is no one in ten thousand such subordinates, and you should cherish it if you get it." ”

Long Chuanyun led the rescue troops to arrive, this is the direct army of the Dragon King, and they blew their horns and cheered from afar.

Gu Shenwei turned around, and the heart that had been hanging high since entering the North Court finally let go a little, this is the army that really belongs to him, and it can even make up for the lack of the lotus girl to some extent.

Han Fen liked the enthusiastic scene and also let out cheers, and after a while she remembered a question, "What is Shechen?"

Shangguan Yun pretended to think, "Yuchen, he is the person that the king likes unconditionally...... For example, you, the dragon king has arrested you but never killed you, obviously like you. ”

"I'm the Dragon King's courtier?"

"Well, you are. ”

"I'm an idler and a minister?"

"Well, it's you. ”

......

Azheba heard the trumpets and cheers in the distance, his heart became more and more bottomless, and he felt a little regretful about the arrow he shot, it was not easy to besiege and kill the dragon king, but it was not without chance, the most important thing was that the power to fight and make peace with the dragon king was not in his hands, and his behavior was not far from betrayal.

It was the middle of the night when he returned to Tongtian, and a small group of people with torches were waiting for him at the gate of the city.

Shangguan Ru looked at the leather bag on the horse's back, and her heart felt cold, she believed in the Dragon King, but she still couldn't help but be afraid.

Azheba nodded coldly, "The Dragon King is alive. "Anyway, go into the city without stopping, and he shouldn't talk to anyone until he meets the prince of Dotun.

The moment the city gate closed behind him, Azheba suffered a blow in his heart, and he finally realized that his actions were indeed a "betrayal", and the reason was neither the dragon king nor Liman, but the woman by the city gate.

Under the light of the torches, Shangguan Ru's gaze was something he had never seen before, it was a combination of anger, anxiety and urgency, and it had reached the point of forgetfulness.

"The Dragon King is alive", Shangguan Ru suddenly relaxed when he heard these four words, and even said hello politely.

Azheba was both heartbroken and proud, the dragon king could not die, he thought, because the dragon king was the man she loved, and as long as the dragon king was still there, she would not need to be forced to marry anyone.

He had been instructed to marry, but those were against his will, and he only now understood what his true desires were.

With these thoughts in mind, Azheba walked into the barracks, stepped into the tent, knelt down on his knees, and raised his head in his leather bag.

He still retains a horrified expression after his death.

"You didn't catch up with the Dragon King?" said Dotun in disbelief.

"I caught up, but the Dragon King's rescuers have also arrived, and after weighing, I think it is more in line with His Highness's wishes and interests to kill. ”

The tent was silent, and Azheba's bold move surprised everyone, and several of his companions stared at him, waiting for the prince to give him an order, and they could complete the transformation from friend to enemy in an instant.

Don remained silent, his eyes never took off his head, and with the hilt of his knife in his hand, he slowly walked up to Azheba and grabbed his head, "There is finally a human head." Then he turned to his companions and said, "I can't complain about anyone else, he is not capable of carrying out his own plan, but he has offended the enemy in vain, and Azheba has done the right thing." ”

The tension is gone, and the seven partners talk and denounce their mistakes.

Dotun threw away his head, picked up Azheba, and whispered in his ear, "Only once, you owe me my life." ”

A hundred miles away, Gu Shenwei regained military power.

Shang Liao and Prince Shule rushed back to the [***] military camp from Tongtian in the evening of the next day, panting, leaving dozens of followers a few miles away, and asked to see the Dragon King as soon as they entered the camp.

The two were both surprised and angry, Fu [***] was created by the two of them, but they didn't expect that the fruitful fruit would be easily picked by the dragon king.

Inside the tent, Gu Shenwei was inspecting the booklet and asking the officers about the situation.

Prince Shule rushed in first, "Dragon King ......"

Gu Shenwei raised his head, and the prince's anger was extinguished in the blink of an eye, "Dragon King, I'm late." ”

Shang Liao followed, more calmly, bowed and saluted, "Right General Shang Liao, meet the Dragon King." ”

Gu Shenwei pushed open the booklet, "You arrived just in time, I want to lead the army north, and someone needs to stick to the rear." ”

"North, north?" Prince Shule couldn't believe his ears, "What are you doing going north?" Shule is in the west, not in the north. ”

"The country of Shule is in the west, and the enemy is in the north, if you want to restore the country, you must take the initiative to meet the enemy. ”

"But...... However...... "Prince Shule was so flustered that he couldn't think of a reason to oppose it.

Shang Liao knew that he had made a serious mistake and must correct it in time, "The Dragon King is right, it will not help to stay here, war is inevitable after all, but there are many difficulties in starting a war at the moment, can your subordinates say a few words?"

Gu Shenwei ordered the officers to retreat, and specially explained, "Within five days, all the soldiers will come here to assemble." ”

After a few months of hard work, Shang Liao and Prince Shule had expanded their army to 20,000 men, with a total of 5,000 here, and many more soldiers and horses were stationed in the south, and five days was enough time for them to arrive, although urgent.

20,000 people, the thought of handing over so many soldiers to the dragon king, the right general and the crown prince felt heartache.

The prince's heart was more fearful, and as soon as the officers left the tent, he walked up to the dragon king, "...... dragon king"

Gu Shen took a step forward for the sword of Chu Nanping beside him, the prince's heart trembled, he almost forgot the rule of five steps apart, so he stepped back in a sneer, "Dragon King, you still want to restore the Shule Kingdom, right?"

"Of course, why did the prince say this?"

"I ......" The prince was in a mess, and he didn't know what to say.

Shang Liao bowed deeply again, "Your subordinates ask the Dragon King to forgive your sins." ”

"What is the crime of the right general?"

"The subordinates and the crown prince were ordered to take care of the hostages in Beiting, and without consulting the dragon king, they released them without authorization, and also formed an alliance with the enemy army, although the situation was urgent at the time, it was also an unforgivable crime. didn't have a chance to ask for instructions in Xiaowanguo, and it was even more of a crime. ”

Prince Shule suddenly understood, and hurriedly said: "I am also guilty, but I think that the Northern Court is in chaos, and it is better to send Prince Dotun and 70,000 cavalry away peacefully than a melee." Uh, Dragon King, is my sister okay?"

Tie Linglong is the half-sister of Prince Shule, and the prince likes her very much, but since he was busy returning to the country, he didn't think much about this sister.

"She's very nice and is doing things for me in Biyu City. Gu Shenwei said, "You have done a good job in the affairs of Prince Dotun, not only are you not guilty, but you have merit, not to mention that I have given you the right to act cheaply in the country of Shule, without asking my consent for everything." ”

The crown prince let out a sigh of relief, and said his true thoughts before Shang Liao, "The Dragon King is magnanimous, but...... Why do you want to go to war? Sooner or later, the people of Beiting will return to the grassland to fight for hegemony, and we can rebuild the Shule Kingdom without a single soldier, and that is 70,000 cavalry, and 20,000 people, and a rash attack is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”

"If the Dragon King is determined to go to war, he should also transfer the Dragon Army of the Easy Sea, and the combination of the two armies, coupled with the favorable time and place, may be able to fight with the people of Beiting. Shang Liao's persuasion was more tactful.

"Who said that there was going to be a war with the people of Beiting?" asked Gu Shenwei.

The two opened their mouths, and the prince said blankly: "Didn't the dragon king lead his army north to declare war on Prince Dotun?"

"The alliance with Dotun is a major achievement for both of them, so why should I give up so easily?"

Shang Liao immediately thought of the only remaining possibility, "The Dragon King is going to attack Jinpeng Castle?" It is said that the Dubu King has already gathered tens of thousands of troops in Qianqi Pass, and the cold winter is coming, so this battle is not easy to fight, right?"

"And this is Shule Fu [***]. The prince reminded in a whisper, regretted it after speaking, and immediately added: "But how to use it is still up to the Dragon King." ”

"This battle is special, the enemy is not from Beiting, and it is not all Jinpeng Castle, I have to lead my troops to meet a caravan, and whoever stands in the way is the enemy. ”

To transport all the wealth of the Meng family out of Biyu City, it is not a task that can be completed by just a few masters. (To be continued.) )
