Zhao Wu was very miserable when he was burned and smoked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lying on the side of the stream and taking a sip of water, a little more energetic, he struggled to turn over and sit up, rolled his eyes and looked around, in the blurred vision, it was dim, it was the smoke from the embers, he wanted to raise his hand to wipe the stinging eyes, but he didn't lift it, only his eyes and throat were painful, and the rest were numb.

If he hadn't relied on the cultivation of the Holy Master to run hard to the limelight, he would have become charcoal now, it was terrible, the water and fire were ruthless, there were fireworks all around, he didn't know how he ran out, he only breathed a breath of fresh air, he lost consciousness, and woke up by the stream.

Although he survived, he was not as good as dead, he was burned by the fire, he did not have a piece of good skin, his hands and feet seemed to be wasted, completely like a half-baked suckling pig, he was disheartened, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to die.

"Is it just starving to death?" he hated, but to hate whom, he also wanted to put people to death. He was unwilling; He regretted it, regretted that he shouldn't be consumed by profit, he now understands that he was being used, and he ended up like this.

Zhao Wu was miserable, but he didn't know that a person was walking in the upper reaches of the stream, and when he saw Zhao Wu, he was stunned for a while, and asked uncertainly, "Are you Zhao Wu?"

"Brother Wei, is that you?" Zhao Wu opened his mouth and said vaguely.

"It's really you, Zhao Wu, why did you do this?" This person is Wei Hu, Weaver's own brother, the former prime minister of the Southern Suri State, who is responsible for reporting illegality, so he offended many officials, and even the marquis of the royal family, who was impeached by Su Kai five years ago and dismissed and exiled, but Su Wei did not embarrass him, and after leaving the royal city, he escorted the officials and let his family go, Wei Hu returned to his hometown Biling and lived in seclusion, and he also knew that it was his brother Weaver who pleaded with Su Wei.

Wei Hu was depressed after being dismissed, a mysterious person found him a year later, and after a few days of secret talks, Wei Hu returned to Wangcheng in disguise, opened an auction house in Wangcheng, and became the boss behind the scenes.

There are two people who know that the boss behind Zhenbang Auction House is Wei Hu, one is Weaver, and the other is the mysterious person.

But now there is one more person who knows about him: Zhang Xian.

Wei Hu saw that Zhao Wu was not dead, so he whistled, and more than a dozen people flashed out from behind a mound not far away, Wei Hu commanded, these people made a simple stretcher, and carried Zhao Wu upstream along the stream.

The fire did not reach Lishan, and it was not affected by the camp of Zhao Wu about seven or eight miles to the west, because Zhang Xian did not want to burn himself to death, so he temporarily cut off an isolation zone there, because it was blowing from the west, and the fire was not strong upwind, and it was slowly extinguished after encountering the isolation belt, so Zhao Wu picked up half a life.

Zhang Xian sent people to Shangrao Valley to investigate, because the embers could not get into the people, so he gave up, delayed for two or three days, afraid that Donglu City would get the news that something would happen, Zhang Xian suggested that the king give the Shangrao Valley Burning Wasteland to the Huo family in Huowang Town, and on this condition let them go out of the boat and people to cross the Zhanghe River, Wang Ziyu asked the edict to send fast horses to Jiankang City, and informed the general Su Lu to quickly take over Donglu City, Su Lu is Su Lu's brother.

Wang Ziyu sent an eagle slave to deliver a message to Ma Huan, the general of Jianjie in Chengkang City, telling him that the king would arrive in Jiankang City in five days.

Looking at the distant officials and soldiers, Huo Meng couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he held an official document in his hand, he was entrusted with the county order of Huowang County, which can raise three hundred private soldiers, and raise it by himself according to the system, and then report for approval by the city guard, so that the status of the Huo family rose suddenly, Huo Meng knew that this was all the credit of the pioneer officer Shenwei General Zhang Xian, and if there was a benefit, there would be a pay, and the forty miles around the Shangrao Valley that was still burning would be assigned to Huowang County, and the waste land would be opened up for one year and the tax would be paid for two years.

"Huo Du, Huo Kai, Huo Su.... Gather the people in the town three days later, oh no, gather in the county. Huo Meng was in high spirits, because his position as the patriarch was stable because of this matter: "General Shenwei, Huo Meng remembered this feeling." Xue Mingyi was also hired as a master.

Five days later, Zhang Xian arrived in Jiankang City first, but did not see the general Su Lu, Zhang Xian first sent a message to the king who was half a day behind, and then ordered to camp outside the city, at ten o'clock in the evening, the king's Praetorian Guard arrived, because Su Lu was not there, the king did not enter the city, and the incident in Donglu City made him a little afraid, and he always felt a sense of security around Zhang Xian.

Wang Ziyu and Jian Changshi took a hundred guards into the city to find the city lord Zhu Ran, and it was not a matter if the king did not enter the city when he arrived.

Without waiting for Wang Ziyu and them to come back, Jianjie's general Ma Huan arrived, and when he saw the joint camp outside the city, his mind moved, and he came to Yuanmen to ask, only to know that Wang Shang was really in the joint camp, and hurriedly met him.

Zhu Ran asked the king to go into the city to rest, but the king refused to enter the city, and Zhu Ran had no choice but to stay in the joint camp to accompany him.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Xian received information from the Red Evil that Su Lu was still in the palace, and Su Lu was detained in Donglu City.

Zhang Xian sneered and said nothing, Su Yu actually played such a play, and made a stand-in king to make a gesture of royal conquest.

At this time, Wang Ziyu also received a document from Donglu City sent by Kuaima, asking the king to move to Donglu City.

Zhang Xian and Wang Ziyu exchanged opinions, the two met with the king, reported the truth to the king, the king did not want to go to Donglu City, let Wang Li and Zhang Xian go to find out what the situation was, he was extremely taboo about Donglu City, it seemed that it was an ominous place, in addition, the king and Zhang Xian and others also felt that Donglu City seemed to be abnormal, the king did not know that Sulu was detained in Donglu City, but Sulu did not come back to see the driver, but let him move to Donglu City, this matter is weird, where the king goes is not what the courtier said.

The king asked Su Qing to temporarily manage 100,000 Hudong troops, and transferred 20,000 standing troops plus 30,000 Hudong troops to Zhang Xian and Wang Ziyu to Donglu City.

Su Hui was sent to Jianjie Army as the supervising military envoy, Su Kai accompanied the king, the next day the king entered the city, Zhu Ran gave up the city lord's mansion as the king's palace, Zhang Xian Wang Li ordered troops to go to Donglu City, Ma Huan and Su Hui returned to Chengkang City to reorganize the army.

A few days later, Prince Zhang Xian's jade soldiers came to the city of Donglu, and here they saw a person they should not have seen: Weaver.

Weaver left before Zhang Xian burned the Rao Valley, and he was sent by the king to Shitang City to contact the eldest prince.

There is another person beside Weaver in the city, Zhang Xian doesn't know it, but Wang Ziyu does, he can't help but fly off his horse and salute when he sees this person: "Zhonglang will see Wang Ziyu to His Royal Highness the eldest prince." ”

"The eldest prince?" Zhang Xian was surprised, why did the eldest prince Su Long come here, this thing is a little weird.

"Shenwei General Zhang Xian greets His Highness," Zhang Xian dismounted and saluted.

"Well, you don't have to be polite, why don't you see your father?" Su Long's face was very bad, and Weaver's face was also not good, Zhang Xian's eyesight was excellent and subtle, and he couldn't help but feel ominous in his heart;

"The king has occasionally felt cold in the past few days, and now he is recuperating in Jiankang City. Wang Ziyu replied, Su Long was obviously relieved when he heard this, and Weaver's face seemed to be better.

"Ziyu, something is wrong with the situation, deal with it carefully, don't agree to enter the city. Zhang Xian whispered to Wang Ziyu.

"What to do? "After all, Wang Ziyu has not gone through the big formation, and he is unstable in the event of an accident.

"Tell him that the army will not enter the city, so as not to disturb the people, after all, you are the main general, and you have to say it, don't show your feet, I will go into the city at night to investigate." Zhang Xian whispered.

Wang Ziyu insisted on not entering the city to disturb the people, and finally stationed outside the east gate, the eldest prince and Weaver did not go out of the city, and the four gates were closed, this matter is clear without saying, Wang Ziyu looked nervous, and walked around uneasily in the big tent.

"You're shaking me in a daze, sit down and rest. Zhang Xian said angrily.

"Can you calm down, seeing that the eldest prince is in the hands of a thief, but I can't do anything, this..."

"You can save the eldest prince in a year. Zhang Xian couldn't laugh or cry.

"What should I do?" Wang Ziyu didn't know how many words to do.

"You just stop for a while, I'll think of a way, and besides, the actual situation is not clear, and it is not enough to guess. ”

Zhang Xian asked Wang Ziyu to sit in the Chinese army, and ordered the whole army to be on alert, after all, there are more than 50,000 multilateral troops and more than 20,000 standing troops in Donglu City in the city, and the border army was not stationed in the city, but Wang Zhong came back from the investigation and said that the western camp was an empty camp, which showed that there was a problem, and if there was a problem, you had to be careful, and your more than 50,000 people could fight more than 70,000 people, and they still waited for work.

The whole day was all right, the eldest prince and Weaver did not appear again, the city lord Pang Bo and the city guard did not appear, and the city gate was not opened, this situation is really puzzling.

Zhang Xian's red evil did not send out information, and the internal guard did not react, Wang Li became tired, but did not get rid of the irritability, Zhang Xian was very calm on the surface, but he was also very impetuous in his heart, and finally waited until the evening, the heat subsided, and Zhang Xian and Wang Ziyu were in a better mood.

Just then, the East Gate opened, and Weaver arrived at the camp accompanied by two armored generals.

Wang Ziyu and Zhang Xian greeted the outside of the gate.

"Brother Wei, is this...?" Zhang Xian said to Weaver in confusion.

"Come to your tent and say. Weaver looked very bad.

Came to Zhang Xian's camp tent, retired from the idle people, Uncle Tai served tea and withdrew, there were only five Zhang Xian left in the camp tent, and Weaver glanced at the two generals who were sitting mightily.

"General Wang, General Liao, what do you see...?"

"Lord Wei, the city lord and General Fei ordered everything to be led by the adults, and we are just temporarily serving as the adults' guards. "General Wang is Wang Bo's brother, but General Liao is a partial general.

"Alas, in fact, it's not a confidential matter to say it, the old man is here, and he wants to see the second prince (Su Yu). ”

"What?" Zhang Xian and Wang Ziyu couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this.
