The devil is coming

Chapter 859 Thunderstorm
The day stipulated in the gauntlet passed so peacefully in the heavy rain;
God is actually very generous. I thought that after you kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​​​blood, I will wash away the smell of blood. Unfortunately, the people below did not give this opportunity.
But, no matter which side, there is actually no embarrassment.
The next day, Yan Jun sent a messenger saying that he wanted to meet again, but the protagonist of the meeting was not the coaches of both sides.
The person coming from Ganren's side is Zhao Mugou. The little flag bearer last time has now become the real leader, because the one sent by the Yan people on the opposite side is Zhao Yuannian.
at the moment,
The flag-bearers of both sides stood facing each other.
The man on Ganren's side has a beard and a strong build. His true identity is Zu Xinyue, the actual commander-in-chief of the Ganren army in the rear.
As the adopted son of Zu Zhuming, his reputation was actually not high. The land along the south coast of the Qian Kingdom was too far away from the northern land.
But when he stood there, even though he was not wearing the general's armor but the leather armor of an ordinary soldier, he still gave people a sense of shock and oppression.
Zhao Yuannian didn't know Zu Xinyue, but he was a little taken aback when they first met.
Fortunately,
The prince "cherishes" himself,
Although he did not ask Master Sword Master to accompany him in person, he still sent his own personal death guard. The people in the handsome tent called him "Mr. Ming".
Compared with Zu Xinyue, A Ming's seriousness only lasted for a while. He inserted the flag into the ground, yawned, silently took out the bottle of wine, and started drinking.
Zu Xinyue sniffed with the tip of her nose. His ancestor was a "pearl diver". When he was young, he spent most of his time soaking in sea water and was particularly sensitive to fishy smells.
What the flag-bearer opposite is drinking is not water or wine, but blood, human blood.
Zhao Yuannian and Zhao Mugou greeted each other as envoys of the two armies;
Immediately afterwards, they met each other with royal rites;
In terms of seniority, Zhao Yuannian was actually Zhao Mugou's grandfather, so Zhao Mugou greeted him with a great courtesy.
The ceremony is over;
Zhao Yuannian glanced at Zu Xinyue, who was pretending to be a soldier holding the flag.
laughed;
"Are you planning to hack me to death?"
"Ah."
Zhao Mugou admitted it openly,
"As a member of the clan, you betrayed your country for glory and betrayed your ancestors. After knowing that it was you who came to talk this time, Mr. Han said that if the situation allowed, he would kill you. This would clear up the Zhao family."
"what about now?"
Zhao Yuannian looked at Zu Xinyue and asked;
"Do you want to do it?"
Zu Xinyue didn’t speak.
A Ming continued to drink;
Obviously, this is not going to take action.
"We are a country of etiquette, why do we plan to do such a thing?" Zhao Yuannian said with emotion.
Zhao Mugou smiled and said: "When it comes to etiquette, the people below should observe the etiquette, so that the people above can feel more comfortable."
Zhao Yuannian tilted his head and said, "Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Do you usually talk to people like this?"
"No, I usually act stupid."
"Then why don't you pretend now?"
"Pretending to be tired."
"Where are you, haha."
"Prince Pingxi over there, when he was not prosperous in his early years, he would have bowed his knees when facing the princess, the prince, and Shangfeng, but what about now?"
"The prince is different. His current position can no longer be shaken by anyone. What about you?"
"I do not know."
"do not know?"
"Yes, I don't know, but I have a hunch. This hunch is that in the future, I don't seem to have to pretend anymore."
"Are you tired of living?"
"maybe."
"At such a young age, you actually say such old-fashioned things."
The two Qianguo clan members fell into silence.
This silence brings a kind of pressure;
The day before yesterday,
Xianggong Han and Prince Pingxi were sitting here. The two of them just went through the motions in a tacit understanding. In fact, they didn't talk about anything.
But the two principals had a gap in their hearts, so they didn't think it was anything.
Today, these two are actually equivalent to two puppies released by the coaches of both sides. The pressure in their hearts is not to lose their own face.
But the problem is, when they came, they were not told to talk about anything;
So, after the pleasantries at the meeting are over, what should we do next?
"Persuade you to surrender?"
Zhao Mugou asked.
"Are you trying to persuade me to surrender or should I persuade you to surrender?" Zhao Yuannian asked.
"This is Qian Country, your surname is Zhao." Zhao Mugou said matter-of-factly.
"If my prince surrenders, will you get out of the way and allow my prince to lead his army back to the Yan Kingdom safely?"
"It should be... ok, anyway, wasn't it the same way he came and left like this last time?"
"Then why did my prince come in this time? Could it be that he just took away mine?"
Zhao Yuannian stretched out his finger and pointed at himself.
"Then your prince, why don't you fight?" Zhao Mugou asked, "Your prince planned to continue going south. We all know this. The reason why he stopped now is because he is worried about our army behind him.
But why didn't he fight? "
Zhao Yuannian sighed after hearing this.
Zhao Mugou asked curiously: "Why?"
"terribly sorry."
"Ok?"
"I haven't climbed to this level yet. I have no role in participating in or knowing about the military aircraft."
"Then what were you doing at his place?"
"Tell us about the customs and customs, tell stories, tell us about who and who are in the imperial court of Qian Kingdom, including what I said about you a while ago. Your lineage is quite miserable."
Zhao Mugou shook his head, "You are worse off than me now."
"I thought I would be lost..."
"Isn't it?"
"How can I put it, when there is no turning back, people can become more relaxed. I once saw with my own eyes how my father lived. I should have lived my life in a mediocre way like my father. But now, I seem to have a new opportunity, and I can really try to do something."
"Are you happy to do such things as betraying your country and your ancestors?"
"Your family's throne has been snatched away by my family for a hundred years. Our family has always been very happy."
"..." Zhao Mu hooked up.
"And your lineage has always had a miserable life. Therefore, it stands to reason that the statement about the crown prince's brother and the statement about brother's succession can be fooled by history books. How can our clan really be like this? Do you believe this statement?
Didn’t my ancestors also break their promises back then? "
"At least our surname is Zhao. No matter how rotten the meat is, it will rot in the pot!"
"what?"
"what happened?"
"Here, it's just you and me, plus..."
Zhao Yuannian pointed at A Ming, then at the flag-bearer, and then smiled again:
"It stands to reason that I am now a surrendered person, and I have already drawn a clear line with Qian Guo. What I have done will fall into the hands of Qian Guo, and I will not be able to redeem myself even if I die.
Do you still need to speak hypocritically to a rotten person like me?
Shouldn't you have a good curse with me?
Therefore, there is someone here who can make it easier for you to speak your mind. "
Zhao Yuannian looked at Zu Xinyue;
"Haha, it stands to reason that the flag-bearer should be someone you trust, and there is nothing you can't say in front of someone you trust. So, if someone is not someone you trust, you will have some scruples.
Oh……
Mr. A Ming,
This brother, the flag-bearer, has an unusual identity. He is not just a master of military protection. He is probably a big fish. "
A Ming put down the bottle of wine and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
Zu Xinyue was not afraid, but instead prepared for the attack.
"So, are you planning to break the rules now?" Zhao Mugou asked.
"Don't, don't, don't..."
Zhao Yuannian raised his hand, shook it vigorously, and then said to A Ming: "Mr. A Ming, let's not take risks."
A Ming hesitated and nodded.
"How do you call this brother?" Zhao Yuannian asked Zu Xinyue.
"It's a shameful name, it's not enough to express it in words." Zu Xinyue replied.
"Well, that's true, that's all. That's it for today. Go back and tell Han Gen that he knows how to withdraw his troops immediately. My prince's temper has always been bad."
Zhao Mugou also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said seriously, "Tell your prince that this is the Qian Kingdom, and the land he is in now is the land of Da Qian!"
immediately,
The two stood up and said goodbye first with the courtesy of envoys from the two countries and then with the courtesy of the clan.
Although Prince Fu's Mansion is said to have committed treason, the official family has not issued an order to eradicate Prince Fu's line, so Zhao Yuannian is still a member of the clan.
Both sides returned with their respective flag bearers.
Zhao Mugou said to Zu Xinyue beside him: "My sin."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is serious. It was clearly the general who came here on his own initiative. Whatever happens, it must be the general's abruptness and recklessness. What does it have to do with you, Your Highness?"
"General Zu, tell me, why doesn't that guy come to attack me?"
"It has been raining continuously for the past few days and the roads are muddy. The area here is round and the terrain is low-lying. Our army is stationed on a slope in a low-lying area. The Yan people have many cavalry and it is difficult to use them."
"Is it because of this?"
"If this is not the case, then it may be that the Prince of Yan opposite has seen the weakness of our army."
"Did you just... see through the reality of our army?"
this sentence,
Zhao Mugou didn't say it directly, but kept it in his heart.
the other end,
Zhao Yuannian, who was also on his way back to the camp, confessed before A Ming could ask;
"Mr. Ming, I didn't think that Mr. Ming would be inferior to the bearded guy opposite, so I stopped you from taking action."
A Ming didn't take it seriously and said: "He is a tough opponent, and he is also a pure martial artist. If there is enough time, he will definitely die in my hands, but the guards on both sides are not far away. Even if he takes action, it will be too late to really kill him." The difference between life and death.”
As a vampire, unless you encounter a means of restraining yourself, otherwise, in a serious fight, you can use the blood tank to smooth everything.
Because there can only be one flag-bearer, Cahill is naturally not there. If Cahill was by his side at the time, A Ming would have had the opportunity to try to resolve the battle quickly.
"Mr. Ming, it was obvious that Zhao Mugou was not an ordinary person. At least, he has abilities that a young man of this age does not have."
"Do you, the lord of the vassal, like Bicheng Mansion very much?"
Zhao Yuannian nodded immediately and said: "Our vassal prince's city is to compete with who is better at pretending to be a pig and who is better at pretending to be stupid."
"Ok."
"Following what I said before, Yuan Nian originally felt that he discovered the difference in the Qianguo flag-bearer from his tone, so the original intention was to hope that Mr. Ming would take action depending on the situation.
The reason why I changed my mind in the first year was because the life of his King Rui lineage was much more miserable than that of my King Fu lineage. And in this situation, how could he suddenly slip up and say the wrong thing? ? "
"You mean, he did it on purpose?"
"Deliberately showing a flaw to us."
"So you can't just follow his wishes?"
"Yes."
"I understand."
"Mr. Ming, although we don't know where the other side is..."
"No need to explain, as long as you don't get used as a sword, it'll be fine."
"Mr. Ming is wise. Also, the bearded man didn't even say his surname. Proving his surname will probably directly reveal his identity. Among the warriors of the Qian Kingdom, only those surnames can reveal extremely obvious identities. Is your identity now, Zhong Zu?”
"If you don't say your name, you just want to hide your last name?"
A Ming felt that Zhao Yuannian's analysis was a bit too simplistic.
"Sir, how many warriors in this world can know how to march, fight, and form formations to kill the enemy, and at the same time, like our prince, can also do other things flawlessly?
Wu Fu was vulgar, and he really didn't mean to make fun of them, but often at the previous moment, they probably really couldn't think straight when they spoke. "
"Ok."
"By the way, Mr. Ming, when we go back later, will you or I report to the prince?"
"Go ahead."
"Thank you sir for fulfilling."
"Aren't you afraid?" A Ming suddenly asked this question. Obviously, when he asked about "not afraid," he was not referring to the previous meeting, but to other things.
"I'm... afraid, but it's useless to be afraid, haha."
The smile on Zhao Yuannian's face remained.
"In the Jindong Prince's Mansion, there is a big manager named Xiao Yibo. I think you are quite similar to him."
"That Manager Xiao, is he the prince's confidant?"
"That's right. Now I can barely be considered half of the family. I followed you all the way from Beifeng County."
After Zhao Yuannian heard the description of "half a family member", his bones seemed to be a little crispy.
In his understanding, "family" refers to the real "own people", just like "Mr. Ming" and others.
However, out of habit, he still modestly said:
"How can I be so virtuous and capable as Guan Xiao in the first year? I still have a long way to go in the first year before I can really help..."
"Oh, we are also Xiao Yibo's father-killing enemies."
"..." Zhao Yuannian.
...
rain,
It went down and stopped, and stopped and went down again.
Zhao Mugou walked into the commander's tent. The furnishings of this commander's tent were very simple. There was no sand table or map, but there were some books.
It’s not that Mr. Han deliberately pretended to be a scholar in this handsome tent to teach the Qiuba people of Qian Kingdom.
This military tent was rarely used, and all military discussions were held in Zu Xinyue's military tent.
This time, Xianggong Han decentralized power very thoroughly and did not interfere or restrict military affairs. This was something that would have been unimaginable in the previous military affairs.
"Husband phase."
Zhao Mugou saluted Han Gen.
Han Gen didn't say anything and turned a page of the book.
Zhao Mugou walked to the side and helped him pour tea.
Han Gen took the tea cup and said without raising his head;
"General Zu has informed me of today's meeting."
"We didn't talk about anything today, and the prince opposite didn't seem to want to talk about anything."
Han Gen raised his head,
laughed;
“I don’t know what King Pingxi opposite is thinking, but I understand what you are thinking.
do you know,
If Zu Xinyue died,
So this military stronghold, and the [-] newly formed ancestral army that is based on it, will probably cease to form an army? "
Zhao Mugou took a deep breath, with a smile on his face and said:
"I know."
He still didn't hide it or explain it, but admitted it openly.
"Do you know what this military stronghold means right now?"
"It's like a nail that has nailed the Yan people."
"And once this nail is easily pulled out, the entire disk will be overturned."
"My husband looks like me, so I want to try this."
"Is it because of hate?"
"Yes, because of hatred and dissatisfaction."
“There has to be a big picture.”
"But why didn't Emperor Taizong think about the overall situation when he took the throne from my family?
Emperor Taizong lost all 50 elites in the Yan Kingdom, which has interrupted our Daqian martial arts line to this day. Have you ever thought about the overall situation?
Although he has obviously lost his throne, Prince Kerui's palace is still experiencing various sudden deaths and accidents from generation to generation, but has he ever thought of the overall situation?
Why,
why,
I don't want the overall situation, I only know that at that time, if I could get the Yan people to help me kill Zu Xinyue, the ruler who stupidly wanted to follow me to the front to see;
So next, the Yan people may have the opportunity to get rid of the shackles from here, leave Xishan County, enter Bianzhou County, and grow their faces for that official! ! ! "
Zhao Mugou was very excited.
After speaking,
I calmed down again for a long time.
He didn't know why he seemed unwilling to hide anything in front of Mr. Han. Instead, he almost instinctively shook off the most primitive thoughts in his heart.
Han Gen turned another page of the book,
asked;
"Finished?"
"It's over."
"Those in power should not be obsessed with small plots. When doing things, you should act based on the general trend. Even if you want to take revenge, you should not choose that place. Just four people, just two sides. This is not the general trend, this is a little cleverness, this is that Ridiculous...a vendetta."
"But I have no other chance, I..."
"If you don't have a chance, just wait. Didn't the king of Pingxi on the opposite side really show his arrogance and domineering attitude after the death of the first emperor of Yan State and the absence of the two kings of the north and the south? He even took him in after the prince said he would take him in. ?
People like him are willing to hibernate when necessary, but what about you? "
"He and I are different."
"You are far worse than him."
"He is freer than me, but I am from the Rui Prince's family..."
"As a member of the clan, how free are you compared to a person from Guizhou? When you are well-dressed and well-fed, he has to worry about making a living.
You said that your Prince Rui's Mansion has been suppressed and is a useless waste. Who would be happy to take another look at it?
Because of fear, and fear means that the signboard of Prince Rui's Mansion is still useful. "
"What's the use? What's the use?"
"Why, you are the only one who hates me, don't you hate your father and your grandfather?"
"They are probably thinking about the inheritance of Prince Rui's Palace. They can endure everything for the inheritance of Prince Rui's Palace, but I don't want to endure it. I don't want my descendants to live in the same frightened life as me and his grandfather and great-grandfather. I don’t want to endure it!”
Han Gen closed the book.
took a sip of tea,
Road:
"When I was young, I used to be as wild and unruly as Yao Zizhan was. My grandfather and I were very close friends."
"I heard my father say this."
"Later, when I served as the governor of Yaozhou, my future was almost ruined due to a conspiracy case. Fortunately, with the help of your grandfather, I successfully solved the case.
That night, I and your grandfather drank and talked happily, expressing the anxiety and depression that had accumulated in their hearts.
After getting drunk,
I stayed at your Prince Rui's Mansion. Your grandfather was very good at being a good person and arranged for a maid to sleep with me. "
Zhao Mugou was a little confused. He didn't know that Mr. Han was suddenly going to say this, talking about the ridiculous years of his youth?
"More than a month ago, when I was preparing to organize soldiers and horses for the King of Qin, I went to your Prince Rui's Mansion to find your father and ask for a card or something. After all, although my prestige is enough, adding the title of vassal king would be even more powerful. It seems more legitimate."
"Yes, I know."
"No, you don't know. Your father has been bedridden for many years. The underlying disease in his body has never been cured. In the past few years, he has been unable to even get out of bed.
When I went to see your father, your father handed you over to me and asked you to help me organize this Qinwang army on behalf of your father in the name of Prince Rui's Mansion. "
"Husband, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Before leaving, your father held my hand and hoped that I could take good care of you."
Zhao Mugou nodded.
"Then, your father called me...Dad."
"..." Zhao Mugou!
"Hehehe, the maid your grandfather arranged for me was your grandmother."
"..." Zhao Mu hooked up.
"Your grandfather only told your father about this matter, and never told anyone else.
You said that your grandfather and the others did it for the inheritance of Prince Rui’s Mansion, so they didn’t hesitate to swallow their anger and accept this fateful arrangement?
Do not,
Your grandfather is actually just like you. He is more extreme than you. He has directly cut off the true legacy of Prince Rui's mansion.
The funny thing is,
Do you know how your father fell ill?
Back then, your father wrote a poem about wintersweet. The poem was spread to Beijing. I read it. In this poem, I tasted a sense of arrogance. It was the same arrogance that I had before. It seemed familiar. of arrogance.
But I was the number one scholar back then, and my official career was limitless. I thought I was a role model for scholars. Your father is just a vassal king. How dare I show such arrogance? What do I want to do?
Therefore, in the name of your father-in-law, I gave the order to the Silver Armored Guards;
Since then, your father has contracted the root cause of the disease and his health is getting worse day by day.
Until a few days ago, when I was in Prince Rui's Mansion and your father held my hand and called me daddy,
Only then did I understand,
I personally gave the order, causing my son to be tortured till now, and now he is even more dying. "
Speaking of which,
Han Gen leaned forward slightly,
eyes widened,
Looking at Zhao Mugou who was almost sluggish in front of him,
Road:
"Your grandpa is a beast!"
Then,
And said:
"And you are my grandson, Han Gen!"
----
That’s it for tonight. I’ll try to write more tomorrow. Hug everyone!
