Prime Minister take care

Chapter 523 Repaying kindness with kindness
And state.

Outside Shaojin City, on the lonely mountain.

Liang Jun's general Zhu Jian was standing on the mountain, and there was a man standing opposite him.

Jiang Zhou!

The two of them and Fang Pei were once subordinates of the Lu family, but after Huan Wu captured Jizhou, the situation was different.Zhu Jian was listed as a guest of honor by Huan Wu, and he was ranked as a general, with [-] righteous soldiers in hand.For more than ten years, Zhu Jian has been stationed in Bingzhou to defend against foreigners, and has made great military achievements.

Jiang Zhou and Fang Pei were just ordinary generals, and their statuses were very different.They stayed in Liang Jun and were only demoted as soldiers, so naturally they were not treated well.However, Jiang Zhou and Fang Pei never resented Zhu Jian.However, the relationship between them cannot be considered good.

"Zhu Jane, you are still here."

"Since you want to see me, for the sake of friendship with old friends, I have to come."

Zhu Jian came alone, without a single soldier, not even a bit of defense.

Jiang Zhou smiled and said, "You are still like this, and you still make me hate you."

In Jiang Zhou's view, Zhu Jian was very confident and did not consider him a threat.And this was particularly annoying to him.

Zhu Jian also smiled back and said, "I know."

Zhu Jian knew very well what kind of person Jiang Zhou was, and he would not use despicable means to harm him.That's why he came.

The mountain breeze blew in, bringing with it a bit of comfort, echoing between these two comrades who had been together for decades.They once moved forward side by side, holding swords to kill the enemy.But now, each is his own master, and they are at odds with each other.

"I hated you when I was the late lord. Because of your talents and because of the late lord's love for you. You were entrusted with an important role and took charge of the White Robe Army. Then the late lord died, and Huan Wu and Chen Shi attacked Jizhou. . You took the lead in surrendering to Huan Wu, and persuaded us to follow Huan Wu. Facts have proved that your original advice to us was completely right. Although Chen Shi was an unparalleled hero, he still died in the hands of his own people. If we had followed Huan Wu at that time, I killed him, and now his head is gone."

Jiang Zhou raised his head, feeling a little emotional.At that time, after Lu's death, internal strife continued, and Jizhou was in chaos.

At that time, Chen Shi was more powerful, but Zhu Jian chose Huan Wu. I have to say that in the eyes of the people at that time, it was indeed a bit shocking.

"But what I didn't expect was that you would betray my lord in the battle of Zhou Nan and choose Yang Xian."

There was some regret on Zhu Jian's face. The betrayal of these old generals like Jiang Zhou largely determined the direction of Zhou Nan's first battle.Although Huan Biao was defeated at that time, he was still able to sustain himself.If they could wait for Huanwu's reinforcements, then the Liang army might not be defeated.

And if Liang Jun had won the Battle of Zhou Nan, there would be nothing like what happened now.Zhu Jian was in Bingzhou at that time and did not participate in the Battle of Zhounan, but now that he thinks about it, he still feels a little unwilling.

"I didn't expect it either. In fact, you know who I am. If that guy Dickson hadn't pushed me to the edge, I wouldn't have had the guts to betray him."

"It's really like your style."

The past is like the wind, and Zhu Jian may feel regretful when recalling that war.If Liang Jun had won at that time, the world might have been unified long ago.However, Zhu Jian was just sorry after all.

"But it turns out that this time, my choice may not be so bad."

"Indeed." Zhu Jian nodded, "Yang Xian is indeed a wise master, and he also messed up my country in Daliang."

"You see it?"

"That witch Su Mei actually took His Majesty to live in the house of Su Ying, the nine-tailed fox, after she surrendered. What else can't be seen. Now, Su Wen has surrendered, Lu Mansion has fallen, and Bingzhou's gains and losses have also been lost. In just a moment. Even if I have [-] righteous soldiers, I can roam the world, but I can't save the country."

"In that case, why not come back early?"

Jiang Zhou advised.

"I have been greatly favored by my lord, and am a minister of Liang. I'm just afraid that before long, there will be no more land of Liang in this world. Where can I go back?"

"Thank you!"

Jiang Zhou suddenly said something, but Zhu Jian was stunned. "Thank you for what?"

"After I surrendered, you saved my daughter from being bullied."

"you are welcome."

"It's just that I can't help you today."

Jiang Zhou suddenly drew his sword and headed towards the Jians.However, Jiang Zhou's cultivation level was far behind Zhu Jian's. Although he suddenly attacked, he was blocked by Zhu Jian.

"what are you doing?"

Jiang Zhou didn't speak, but the sword move in his hand was a little faster.Zhu Jian hurriedly parried, but Jiang Zhou was clearly fighting for his life.

"Flood Dragon Jue!"

This Dragon Skill is a sword technique taught in the Lu family's army in the past. It is a move that will lead to the same fate and death.

Just between the lightning and flint, the two swords intersected.Zhu Jian's long sword pierced Jiang Zhou's abdomen, but Jiang Zhou's sword only injured Zhu Jian's arm, leaving a wound on it.

"what are you doing?"

Jiang Zhou lost, but there was still a smile on his face.Zhu Jian saw it, but didn't understand the reason for his inexplicable behavior?
Jiang Zhou laughed, but he was very happy.

"Zhu Jian! After all these years, you still lost to me once."

Zhu Jian frowned, but saw Jiang Zhou's hand gently raised up and pointed behind Zhu Jian.

At this moment, Zhu Jian turned around and saw smoke and dust billowing above Shaojin City in the distance.This mountain is not close to Shaojin City. Such a large amount of smoke and dust cannot be an ordinary accident.

But the flames of war.

"what happened?"

Zhu Jian knew clearly that the main force of the Zhou army had not even arrived at Lu Mansion at this moment.It is impossible to capture Shao Jin with the cavalry in Lu Mansion alone.What's more, [-] Yi soldiers are still guarding the Zhou army in the north, and they will not be allowed to go south without letting out any news.

"The situation in Daliang is over. You are not the only one in the world who can tell? You don't want to be a minister of Zhou, but they are eager to do so."

Jiang Zhou's bloody hand held Zhu Jian's arm and climbed onto his wound.

"Today, a large number of generals and generals among the [-] Liang Army rebelled, and together with the masters of our army who have sneaked into Shaojin City, Huan Zilu will definitely die. If you are in the city, you will not survive."

Zhu Jian finally understood Jiang Zhou's intention at this time, but he could not comply.

"But even so, I must go back."

The smile on Jiang Zhou's face remained unchanged. He looked at Zhu Jian, seeming to laugh at his naivety.

"Have you ever heard of Qijinwan?"

Zhu Jian's expression changed, but he suddenly found that his spiritual energy was declining.He had so much energy that he couldn't use it.He looked at Jiang Zhou's arm holding his, which was dripping with blood.

"I specifically asked for this medicine from my lord, how could it be wasted? You can't go anywhere, just stay here and take care of yourself!"

Zhu Jian looked at Jiang Zhou, who was still smiling despite being seriously injured, closed his eyes and sighed suddenly.
