The rain finally stopped, and the next morning, the sun shrouded the land again through the thin mist, and last night's torrential rain seemed to have no effect, Jushou City opened early, and the people who came and went began to make a living for the day as usual.

Spring is gone, summer is beginning,

The weather was not hot and dry, and three people and three horses stepped on the small pond on the ground and walked into the Jushou City Gate step by step.

The soldiers defending the city looked a little surprised, but they quickly let them go, and they all set their eyes on the three men.

After the three of them walked into Jushou, they seemed to be a little hesitant, this Jushou City was so magnificent that they didn't know where to go.

"It should ...... It's going in this direction. Chu Zhuang tried to recall, but the difference between Jushou twenty years ago and Jushou now is too big.

"Let's go, let's ......"

At this moment, an ordinary wooden carriage slowly stopped in front of the three of them, and a middle-aged man dressed in navy blue linen stepped out of the carriage.

"The three of them have worked hard, and my father is waiting for the three of them with a little wine. ”

"I don't know ......"

"General Chu, you'll find out when you've seen it later. The middle-aged man's sentence to General Chu made Chu Zhuang stunned on the spot, this title has not been shouted for twenty years.

"Let's go. ”

Chu Zhuang looked at Su Heng and the monk beside him, and said softly.

Su Heng nodded, he was too tired, and now he just wanted to find a place to rest.

The monk is also weak, and his state is even worse than Su Heng.

The middle-aged man seemed to have expected it, he got out of the car and gently supported the monk who was about to fall, "Three of you can get into the car with me." ”

The carriage of the wooden shed came and walked gently, and the horses pulling the carriage were not strong, so it did not show bumps in the road.

Su Heng leaned on the carriage, his breathing gradually stabilized, the monk had already fallen asleep when he first got into the carriage, and the two of them were too tired.

Chu Zhuang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was as gentle as jade, and thought in his mind when he had seen this person.

"When I see my father, General Chu will naturally be able to recognize it, twenty years ago, I was in Xia Zheng to envoy Jun Shang, and it was a pity that I couldn't see the general's majestic posture. The middle-aged man laughed.

Chu Zhuang hugged his fists at this person, "I don't know the surname of the honorable driver?"

"In the lower Qinxi. ”

"Qin!?"

Chu Zhuang's eyes froze, he remembered a very old surname, twenty years ago, someone with that surname had made a move to help Beiji break through the gate of Jushou City, could this person be a member of that family?

The carriage slipped down the road between Jushou Castle and finally bent into an alley and stopped.

There was a small shop in the alley, unremarkable, except for a tattered flag hanging at the door, on which was the word "liquor".

Qin Heng was the first to get out of the car, lifted the curtain, and helped the monk up, while Su Heng was thrown to the ground by Chu Zhuang.

Su Heng touched his head, he didn't know why, he touched his head a little dizzy. The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

"I have to wonder if this stinky boy came out of Beiji, and he slept after getting in the car, without the slightest alertness. Chu Zhuang slapped Su Heng on the shoulder, and Su Heng exploded in an instant, where is there still a little sluggishness?

A group of four people lifted the curtain of the restaurant and walked in softly.

In the restaurant, there are only a few people, very quiet, most of them are drinking sake, eating peanuts in front of them, and thinking about things.

Qin Yan led the way in front and led the three of them to the corner, where a small table covered with oil spots was set up, and an old man in sackcloth sat there, smiling at the four people who came over.

"Father, General Chu, I brought it here. Qin Xun stepped forward and saluted.

The old man smiled and nodded, then stood up and saluted towards Chu Zhuang, "General Chu has worked hard all the way, and the old man has prepared a little wine here to wash the dust." ”

Chu Zhuang looked at it, his heart suddenly jumped, he finally remembered who this person was, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old man's hands, and then knelt on one knee, and saluted the old man respectfully, "I didn't expect that after twenty years, I could still see adults!"

"I have an old bone, where can I still be called an adult?" the old man helped Chu Zhuang up with a smile, and then sat down on the chair, "Hurry up and sit." ”

Su Heng didn't know what was going on, he had never seen Chu Zhuang treat others so respectfully.

"This little brother is from Beiji South, right?" The old man looked at Su Heng, then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Heng.

Su Heng was stunned for a moment, but still took the teacup, "The juniors are exactly." ”

"Beiji is where I leave the soul of the Chu army......" The word Beiji seemed to be full of power, and the old man muttered in his mouth, remembering something in his eyes.

Su Heng looked at Chu Zhuang, a little puzzled.

Chu Zhuang explained softly, "Back then, Beiji's horse stepped on Jushou, and it was this lord who opened the city gate, otherwise even if Beiji's 30,000 cavalry would not be able to break through Jushou!"

Su Heng was a little confused when he listened, he didn't know what happened twenty years ago, but after going through so much, he gradually understood something, twenty years ago, a very special period, it was at that time that the disarming battalion went south to Beiji and did an earth-shattering event, and then returned to Beiji.

And the reason why he encountered so many hardships and obstacles was precisely because of the great incident twenty years ago!

When the old man saw the monk, he was stunned for the first time, and when he looked at the ring scar on the top of his head, he knew that he was a master from Landa Mountain, but how could there be a master of Landa Mountain like this?

Unexpectedly, the monk didn't care about the old man's expression at all, but picked up the sake on the table by himself, and then drank it in one go.

"It's so refreshing, how come there is no strong wine?" said the monk, wiping his mouth.

"Haha, yes! Enough spirits!" the old man laughed.

The other guests of the restaurant quietly left, leaving only these five people who were very strange. A jar of spirits was brought up, and Su Heng and the monk drank happily and laughed.

Just drinking and drinking, both of them cried, tears mixed with spirits, and poured into their stomachs.

"What about the casualties?" the old man looked at Chu Zhuang and asked softly.

When Chu Zhuang heard this, he burst into tears, "The 1,217 people of the Wangbei Army have been wiped out!"

The old man closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out after a long time, he seemed to understand why Su Heng and the monk were crying and laughing at the same time, "The court owes you an explanation...... The old man's words were very heavy, but they were very pale.

I haven't drunk for a long time, the old man swallowed a glass of wine, and immediately choked, Qin Xun hurriedly stepped forward, but was blocked by the old man with one hand, "The loyal ministers are white." ”

The old man shed tears as he spoke, he was very sad, "The loyal ministers are white......

At this moment, outside the door of the restaurant, the clanging sound of iron armor rubbing suddenly sounded, and then the curtain at the door was vigorously lifted.

"There is a decree in the saint, and Master Xuanlanda Mountain will come to the temple to meet him. ”

"Don't go, don't go!" the confused monk shouted loudly, waving his hands constantly, "You guys go away for me!"

"There is a decree in the saint, and the master must not resist the decree!" The armor is very strong, he has the emperor's dictation, as if he holds the power of life and death, and even his voice is mixed with arrogance.

"Don't you understand what people are saying, get out!" Su Heng stopped, he stepped out, and the whole person instantly appeared next to the armorer who announced the decree, and slapped him.

"Boom!"

The armorer was defenseless, and was directly slapped to the ground, motionless, and was about to die.

Su Heng staggered against the door frame, he took another sip of wine, and squinted at these armor soldiers, "What kind of soldiers are you? Su Heng roared wantonly.

"Presumptuous!

The rest of the armor soldiers immediately drew their swords and shouted at Su Heng.

Chu Zhuang wanted to stretch out his hand to stop him, but was stopped by the old man, "Let him make a fuss, otherwise I'm afraid he will go crazy!"

"......"

The soldiers still want to get their hands dirty.

The old man finally patted the table and stood up, "You stand down, I will have a drink with your old friends today, and I will go to meet the Holy One tomorrow." ”

"Lord Taiwei, you can ......"

"Get out!"

The old man's eyes widened, and a terrifying coercion formed by the perennial high position immediately made these armor soldiers kick backwards.

"You tell the emperor that tomorrow I will go to the court with the monk to represent Beiji!" Su Heng carried the wine jar and shouted at the retreating armor.

The two words Beiji seemed to be full of infinite magic, and with this shout, those armor soldiers were unstable on their feet and left in a hurry.

"Boy Su, aren't you afraid?" Chu Zhuang saw Su Heng so wild for the first time.

"What are you afraid of? I've already died once, and I'm afraid of dying again? These turtle grandsons are chasing me along the way, and I'll ask them one by one tomorrow. Su Heng walked back to the table, "The old iron head told me that there is an entire disarmament battalion supporting me, and there is no reason in the world that cannot be explained!"

"I'm just reasoning, not fighting. Su Heng lay on the table, didn't know what to think of, and fell asleep in a daze.

On him, a black mist slowly rose......
