The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang, carrying a sword at his waist and riding a white horse, followed Putang on the official road to Ye Qin's palace.

Ye Qin is a small country, and the size of the palace is naturally not as good as that of Daliang. However, there is also a small team of palace guards on duty. After seeing Wang Gang, they immediately stopped and said:
"This is the important place of the royal palace, please dismount!"

Wang Gang glanced down at the guard, indifferent.

Putang shouted angrily: "You bastard, don't you recognize that this is His Highness Prince Jing of Daliang?"

The guard Zhengqi said: "The general recognizes His Highness Prince Jing, but according to the rules of the palace, everyone must dismount and hand over their weapons before entering the palace."

Putang stepped forward angrily and slapped the guard on the face.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing has just rescued our country, Ye Qin, and you alone dare to make a mistake."

The guard received a slap, but his waist remained straight and his eyes did not change.

"Master Pu, please understand that this is the duty of the last general." The guard said righteously.

Putang wanted to scold him again, but Wang Gang said: "Master Pu."

"Your Highness Prince Jing, I will teach this ungrateful guard a lesson later." Putangdui said with a smile.

"Forget it." Wang Gang stepped off his horse, walked slowly to the guard, and handed over the long knife on his waist.

"Take this knife and return it to me when you come out later."

The guard held the long knife in both hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, His Highness Prince Jing."

Wang Gang sneered, and suddenly punched the guard in the chest. The next moment, the sound of fractures was heard, and the guard screamed and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Putang panicked, thinking that Wang Gang was angry.

After punching him, Wang Gang stopped taking action and instead asked the seriously injured guard: "Do you know why I hit you?"

The guard endured the severe pain, still holding Wang Gang's long knife in both hands, and said with difficulty: "The villain deserves death for charging at the prince."

Wang Gang sneered and said: "I stand here to represent Daliang. You, a little guard, dare to ask me to dismount and hand over your weapons. You will naturally be punished. However, I appreciate your dedication to your duties, so I will punish you with a small punishment but a big warning." Convinced."

The guard spit out another mouthful of blood, but still said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

Wang Gang nodded, turned to look at Putang again, and said, "Let's go, I'm hungry."

Putang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly ran to Wang Gang to lead the way.

"My lord, please come with me."

Wang Gang walked into the palace with Pu Tang arrogantly. The guard behind him could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

After entering the palace, Wang Gang found that there were many guards around him, and they looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Putang was afraid that Wang Gang would misunderstand, so he explained: "The Beidi barbarians have just retreated, and these palace guards have not recovered yet. They have just collided with His Highness. I hope Your Highness will respect you."

Wang Gang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Ye Qin just encountered a great crisis. I understand."

Putang said nervously: "In order to thank His Highness for his help to Ye Qin, the King has set up a state banquet to entertain His Highness."

Wang Gang said indifferently: "My Daliang army is still in the city. It has been fighting for several days and is exhausted. I would like to ask Mr. Pu to make arrangements for him."

Putang smiled and said: "I have sent people to reward the Liang Tianjun, and also brought ten carts of fine wine. The soldiers have been fighting continuously, and they also need to rest and relax."

Wang Gang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Sir Pu is indeed attentive and arranged things properly without my instructions. Ye Lingzi of Ye Qin Kingdom is indeed worthy of his reputation."

While talking, the two came to a palace. King Ye Qin had been waiting outside the palace for a long time. When he saw Wang Gang, he was even more enthusiastic. He held his hand and thanked him non-stop, almost crying.

"If His Highness Prince Jing hadn't saved our country from dire straits this time, regardless of past grievances, Ye Qin would have been destroyed long ago."

Wang Gang raised his head and said: "You're welcome, remember to prepare the gold, I will take it away directly when you turn around."

King Ye Qin's mouth twitched, but he still smiled and said: "The gold is ready, King Jing can send someone to get it at any time."

Wang Gang smiled and said: "Haha, Ye Qin is richer than I imagined."

King Ye Qin smiled awkwardly and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing, please come inside and let's chat while we eat."

Wang Gang silently passed King Ye Qin and walked directly into the palace, which was quite rude.

Many ministers of the Ye Qin Kingdom were angry at Wang Gang's arrogance and dared not speak out.

Wang Gang walked into the hall and saw a long table large enough to seat 20 people, filled with delicacies.He was not polite and sat directly in the middle, where King Ye Qin's seat originally belonged.

King Ye Qin's eyes changed, and then he personally took the jug and poured a glass of wine for Wang Gang.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, on behalf of the people of Ye Qin, I would like to offer you this glass of wine."

Wang Gang glanced at the wine glass in King Ye Qin's hand, but did not take it immediately.

"The Beidi barbarians have not completely withdrawn from the territory of Ye Qin. If they try to fight back, and I have to go into battle to kill the enemy, I will not drink this wine."

King Ye Qin's breath was stagnant, but he quickly calmed down.

"Since Your Highness Prince Jing doesn't want to drink, let's try our famous Ye Qin dish, roasted deer leg." King Ye Qin put down his wine glass, cut a piece of roasted deer leg with his knife and put it on Wang Gang's dinner plate.

"It's not appropriate to trouble the king to wait for me to eat! How about the king eats first." Wang Gang had no intention of picking up the chopsticks.

The hearts of King Ye Qin and the others were in awe. In order to kill Wang Gang, the deer legs and wine at the banquet were poisoned with poison that could penetrate the intestines and corrode bones. How could King Ye Qin dare to eat it?

Wang Gang saw that King Ye Qin did not dare to eat venison, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "If the king doesn't eat it first, it could be that the food is poisoned."

King Ye Qin's hand shook and he almost lost his grip on the knife.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, please don't joke. You are Ye Qin's great benefactor. How dare we poison you?" King Ye Qin showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said:
"According to our Ye Qin tradition, the first dish of the banquet is tasted by the guests first. Only when the guests are satisfied can we eat it."

Wang Gang said: "But according to Daliang's rules, all food must be tested for poison by eunuchs before the royal family dines."

King Ye Qin became nervous, and at this time Putang stood up.

"In that case, let me be the poison tester." Putang snatched the knife from King Ye Qin's hand, cut a piece of meat from the deer's leg, and ate it directly in his mouth.

King Ye Qin's eyes widened and he clenched his teeth as he watched Putang eat Mingzhi's poisonous venison.

Putang said to Wang Gang as if nothing was wrong: "This roasted venison is a famous dish in our country. It takes ten hours to cook. It was specially prepared by the king to entertain His Highness Prince Jing."

Wang Gang saw Putang introducing the roasted deer legs as if nothing happened, so he couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks.

King Ye Qin stared at the chopsticks in Wang Gang's hand, and didn't feel relieved until he saw him eating the venison.

"The venison is tender and juicy. It is indeed a delicacy in the world." Wang Gang praised it after eating it.

King Putang and Ye Qin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Since His Highness Prince Jing likes it, please use more of it." Putang cut another piece of venison for Wang Gang.

The poison takes time to take effect. The more he eats, the deeper the poisoning and the faster it takes effect. Putang thought that it was worth it to exchange one life for another.

"Sir Pu Tang has worked hard this time. Let's sit down and eat together!" Wang Gang pulled Pu Tang to sit next to him and put the piece of venison on his plate.

Putang was ready to sacrifice, so he was naturally not afraid of eating another piece of venison.

King Ye Qin also sat down, with a sad look on his face.

Putang was not only his minister, but also his friend.

Wang Gang continued to eat the venison and said to King Ye Qin: "Why is the king suddenly sad?"

The king explained: "I feel sad for those subjects who were slaughtered by the Beidi barbarians."

Putang already felt abdominal cramps at this time, and the poison seemed to have taken effect.

But Wang Gang was not the least bit strange.

"Master Pu, do you want to eat another piece of venison?" Wang Gang said coldly to Pu Tang.

Putang was startled and realized instantly that Wang Gang knew that the deer meat was poisoned.

"You didn't eat!" Putang stood up, the cramps in his abdomen getting worse and worse, and his lips began to turn purple.

"How could I eat the venison that the man handed me?" Wang Gang overturned the dining table.

King Ye Qin stepped back in panic and was almost hit by the dining table.

Groups of palace guards rushed into the palace and surrounded Wang Gang.
