The old man of the plague struggled desperately, crawling on the ground with what little strength he had left, trying to get closer to the masked man and his two companions.

Especially when he saw the sharp and cold weapons in their hands, the plague old man felt extremely frightened, his body was completely filled with fear, and his mouth kept shouting.

"Don't come here!"

"Don't struggle, it's impossible for anyone to save you today, if you want to blame you for betraying the Xianbei country, otherwise you won't anger the king, so let's go back with us obediently to confess!"

The masked man's tone suddenly became heavier, and he wanted to use the weapon in his hand to break the meridians of the plague old man's limbs, so that he could be honest.

"Ah......" The plague old man didn't dare to face his miserable end, he closed his eyes and screamed in panic, and he had already scolded him more than a thousand times in his heart, blaming him for putting a forbidden spell on himself, causing him to have to do sinners, so that he was currently in a desperate situation, but the other party couldn't even see a figure, how could he not be angry?

After screaming for a moment, the plague old man did not notice any pain in his body, and his closed old eyes showed a slit, and the man in the mask was holding a sharp blade, and the spike was close to him, but the strange thing was that the masked man froze in place, maintaining the posture of stabbing him.

The plague old man looked around, time seemed to stand still, and saw that the two companions of the masked man were also frozen in place, and even the flowers and trees in the entire space, and the deciduous birds were all the same.

"Don't look for it, we're here. ”

Zhou Geng and Yan Cai'er appeared, and a beam of light drilled into the plague old man's body with a snap of his fingers, and in an instant, the plague old man returned to his heyday and stood up alive again.

"Thanks to the timely appearance of the adults, otherwise my old life would be gone!" said the plague old man for the rest of his life.

"Who is scolding me in your heart?" Zhou Geng said as he stared at the plague old man very seriously, so frightened that the other party's body was stunned, and the water droplets on his forehead kept slipping down.

"Hey...... The adult should have heard it wrong, I was obviously calling the adult, but I didn't expect the adult to be called, so it can be seen that everyone still cares about me. The plague old man tugged at his flabby face and forced a smile.

"For the sake of your obedience, I won't bother with you. This time, I have not come to Xianbei Kingdom simply to save you, but to choose someone who is obedient and obedient to my orders to be the new king of Xianbei Kingdom. If you have someone who is qualified, you can recommend him, and no matter what his current situation is, I can help him solve all his troubles and successfully ascend the throne and become king. ”

Zhou Geng directly stated the purpose of his trip, maybe it was a big deal in the eyes of others, but it was really insignificant in his eyes.

It's just that he doesn't know the Xianbei country, and he doesn't know who to let be this puppet king.

With the experience of the first two times, Zhou Geng quickly got to know the situation of Xianbei Country through the subordinates he had just subdued, and selected a suitable person.

The plague old man opened his mouth and pointed at himself, "My lord, what do you think of me?"

Zhou Geng glanced at him coldly, "What do you think?"

The plague old man held his head high, his eyes resolute, "I think I can!"

Syllable!

Zhou Geng's backhand was a spiral palm, and the old man with the plague rolled on the ground a few times like a gourd, and said, "You think I'm joking with you?"

The plague old man got up, touched his hot cheeks, did not dare to show a drop of anger, and hurriedly explained his behavior, "No, no...... It's a subordinate who is joking with you, I hope you don't mind!"

Zhou Geng glanced at him sideways, "Just your old arms and legs, let you be the new king of Xianbei Kingdom, how many years can you toss in this position? ”

"The new king must not only be obedient, but also be able to put the whole kingdom in order, instead of causing trouble for me all day long, and I will have to clean up the mess for him.

"Nominally a puppet king, but the man I choose must not be an ornament. Not to mention how much talent this person must have, at least he can solve the food and clothing of his own people, and he can also pay tribute to the Yan country."

"Otherwise, why would I choose this kind of person? I have nothing to do when I'm idle, so why should I choose him to make trouble for me? I don't have that much time to play with this kind of person. ”

"If the puppet king thinks that he is an ornament, and only knows how to eat, drink, and indulge in beauty all day long, he will definitely not achieve the results I want, and maybe let me raise him in turn. ”

"Just now you recommended yourself, it is estimated that after you become the new king, you will also be a faint king who has done nothing, and you must have accounted for all the above shortcomings. ”

"For the puppet kings who are good at acting, if they fail to meet my expectations within a certain period of time, I will personally deal with them, cramping and peeling the skin is essential, refining souls and creating corpses is inevitable, do you still want to be this king?"

After Zhou Geng's words, the plague old man was full of spirits, he thought that he couldn't meet the other party's requirements at all, so he should be an honest subordinate!

At least you don't have to worry about state affairs all day long and what you don't do well, the resources that the other party needs, whether you can get them together within the specified time limit, etc., the plague old man thought about it a little and his head was about to explode, or it was easier to be alone.

In fact, the conditions for the puppet monarch selected by Zhou Geng are not strict, except for the faint monarch who eats and waits for death, but any normal king can do it.

"Just now, my subordinate just said casually, don't take it to heart, my lord. The plague old man softened his discomfort with a smile, "My subordinates really have a suitable person to recommend to the adult, but unfortunately she is a woman, not a man. ”

"Woman?" Zhou looked at Yan Cai'er subconsciously.

"What do you think I'm doing? Isn't she just a woman? Can she be more beautiful than me? Besides, this princess is not a vinegar jar, and her heart is not small to that extent, as long as it is suitable, even if you choose her to be the new king of Xianbei country, this princess still has this bit of belly and self-confidence. ”

Yan Cai'er said that it doesn't matter, anyway, after choosing the king, they will return to Yan Kingdom, separated by the distance between the two kingdoms, it is difficult to fall in love for a long time, it is absolutely impossible to grab a man with her, and she will not let the two have too much contact and contact, and at the same time, she also believes that her appearance and temperament will not lose to each other.

"Are you sure you're not a vinegar jar? When the time comes, you really choose her to be the puppet king, there is a nail on the nail board, and you can't change it at will, otherwise it will easily affect the turmoil within the kingdom, and the resources you are looking forward to will not be delivered, so you have to think clearly. Zhou had seen her jealous appearance earlier, she didn't leave her for half a step, she stuck to herself every day, and she couldn't protect her food.
