Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

To Guan Sheng's surprise, Ximen Qing's attitude did not arouse the disgust of the governor of Weizhou. Instead, he nodded repeatedly as if he had heard something good.

"Thanks to my lord, the villain is carefree and naturally fat." Weizhou Governor's face has indeed gained a lot of fat, shiny and shiny: "This does not mean that the entire territory of Gaizhou will be recovered, and Weizhou also has support. For the merits, the official family has issued an imperial edict, and even the villain has received some rewards."

Ximen Qing saw that he was so happy that he could wake up from sleep with a smile on his face, so he knew that this guy had gained a lot of benefits. Looking at the smell of wine from more than 100 carts, he probably didn't forget to add wine when he mixed it with water .

With Guan Sheng at the side, I nodded slightly: "Wei Prefecture's [-] soldiers have also contributed!"

These words made Weizhou Governor's face turn into a chrysanthemum, and he repeatedly thanked Guan Sheng for his compliment.

Seeing his obsequious look, Guan Sheng recalled that he was disliked when he was in Pudong because he couldn't please his superiors, so he felt nauseated for a while. : "Since my lord has worked hard to comfort the army, let's start."

Only then did the governor of Weizhou realize that he was here to comfort the army on behalf of the officials, took out a paper of imperial edict from his sleeve, and shook it in the wind as if to give a speech.

The big knife Guan Sheng held each other in awe, and he didn't expect a gust of wind to blow up around him, and a figure rushed forward to hold the imperial edict in his hand, almost turning into a piece of waste paper, and his face changed color.

Naturally, this figure belonged to the military supervisor beside him.

Ximen Qing snatched the imperial edict in his hand, stuffed it in Guan Sheng's hand indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than a compliment, what's new? Tens of thousands of soldiers are waiting for their meat to be cooked, and they are eager to swallow their saliva. No more, if by the time you finish reading, everyone will be so hungry that you faint, how can you go to Huguan?"

Weizhou Governor's complexion changed, and he immediately returned to a full smile: "Yes, yes, what the supervisor said is true."

What he was thinking in his heart was: "Ximen Qing is really a member of the Holy Family Zhengnong, otherwise it would be a capital offense to snatch the imperial edict."

But how can you say what you want to say?

The governor of Weizhou knew that Ximenqing was good at not following the rules, so the act of grabbing the imperial edict was nothing compared to slapping Gao Yanei, so the governor of Weizhou planned to be himself Didn't see it, just be a blind man.

But Dao Guan Sheng knew that Ximen Qing was unwilling to listen to the stinky and long imperial edict, even the past official documents were read by himself, Ximen Qing was very disgusted with these complicated words.

"The villain brought [-] pigs and [-] sheep, I think it is enough." Weizhou Governor said: "There are also [-] altars of fine wine, sir, please deliver."

"No need, I don't worry about your work." Ximen Qing waved his hand: "Hurry up and get someone to go over there to cook, the hot water in the pot has been boiling for a long time."

The governor of Weizhou agreed, and ordered to go down. The porters of the Xiang army drove away the pigs and sheep, and pushed the fine wine over.

Seeing Dao Guan Sheng, he nodded secretly, and Ximen Qing yawned: "Call me when the meat is cooked, and take a nap first..."

This time, Guan Sheng and Weizhou governor were left here, and the scene was a bit awkward after the two said a few words. Seeing that his duties had been completed, Weizhou governor bid farewell to Guan Sheng.

Guan Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief, killing an enemy on the battlefield was as easy as drinking water, but facing this kind of scene, Guan Sheng felt at a loss what to do.

...

...

Huguan.

Shan Shiqi was not on the pass, but brought a few soldiers with him, and without riding a horse, he opened the door and went outside, turned around and looked at the pass he was holding.

The two big and powerful characters "Huguan" hang above the pass. I don't know which dynasty carved them, but every time Shan Shiqi reads these two characters, there is an inexplicable emotion in his chest. .

Xiongguan, a veritable Xiongguan.

The reason why Huguan is named after Huguan lies in the topography. The Yimapingchuan River from Gaizhou suddenly becomes surrounded by mountains when it arrives here, blocking all the way.

Only the small pass of Huguan can pass through.

Just like the structure of a kettle, no matter how much water is in the kettle, as long as the spout is twisted, no drop of water can escape.

Shan Shiqi was sent here by Tian Hu to guard this grand pass, which shows Tian Hu's affirmation and trust in Shan Shiqi.

In Shan Shiqi's heart, it is a kind of pride.

But for some reason, after hearing the news of Niu Wenzhong's death, Shan Shiqi slowly felt a chill in his heart.

The chill slowly made him restless, so he did what he always did to calm himself down.

That is to walk out of the pass, turn around and look up at the word "Huguan".

10 people?Even if there are millions of people, if I, Shanshiqi, don't let you pass, you won't be able to pass!

Shan Shiqi took two deep breaths, and suppressed the chill in his heart; Shan Shiqi is very clear about how much the general's emotions will be affected when the battle is imminent. The lieutenant general and the [-] soldiers displayed the usual arrogance in order to convince them that nothing could break through their barrier.

Shan Shiqi slowly closed his eyes. Although the chill in his heart was suppressed like a gossamer, it was always wandering there without any sign of disappearing.

With a secret sigh, Shan Shiqi opened his eyes again... His eyes that had calmed down suddenly turned into surprise.

In the lines of the two big characters "Huguan", a red liquid is flowing.

Shan Shiqi rubbed his eyes, convinced that his eyesight was not the problem, and then pointed to the two big characters and asked the soldiers beside him: "Above..."

"Above is Deputy General Wu leading people to paint the word Huguan." The soldier replied: "Why, does the general think there is anything wrong?"

The two characters were originally filled with cinnabar, which was extremely bright, but with the wind, sun, and rain, the cinnabar embedded in the lines gradually lost, and the deputy general Wu Cheng thought about repainting it with red paint several times.

This is actually a very normal thing. After the soldiers returned, they pointed and said: "General, the word Huguan is so eye-catching in this way."

But Shan Shiqi's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"Stop! Stop for me!" Shan Shiqi almost shouted out every word with a roar.

There was a bang in the ears of the guards next to him, and even Wu Cheng on the pass was startled and leaned over to look.

How did they know that the flowing red paint was like blood in Shan Shiqi's eyes.

The blood of Shan Shiqi, the blood of the seven lieutenants under him, and the blood of the guarding soldiers blended together and flowed down the stone.

The coldness in Shan Shiqi's heart that had been crushed into filaments suddenly burst out, roaring and rolling in his heart.

He could almost see the chill turning into a face, and he could hear the words spoken by that face.

"die!"

Shan Shiqi couldn't help but let out that roar.

The soldiers were frightened by his reaction, and the former soldier couldn't help but replied: "General, you agreed to this."

Shan Shiqi's majestic body seemed to be a little unstable, but he immediately tried to stand upright again.

He finally remembered that Wu Cheng had indeed mentioned this matter to himself this morning, and he agreed to it.

Shan Shiqi shook his head, finally temporarily dispelling the chill.

"Then go ahead."

After finishing speaking, Shan Shiqi walked towards the pass. What he needs most now is to be alone to calm down, but obviously looking at the word "Huguan", he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Wu Cheng was baffled. After being surprised for a while, he asked the soldiers to continue.

The word "Huguan" became bright red and shiny again, like the two bloody handprints left by the giant on this cliff.

When he got up the next morning, Shan Shiqi got a report that the Song army had broken into the territory of Zhaode Mansion and camped twenty miles south of Huguan.

"Twenty miles?" Shan Shiqi was taken aback: "They passed Baodu Mountain?"

"Yes, General." The person who came to report was Shan Shiqi's number one lieutenant, surnamed Lu Minghui: "There seems to be no movement in Baodu Mountain."

Shan Shiqi frowned: "I have said long ago that it is a great risk for the three village owners in Baodu Mountain not to be official. Could it be that they have been bribed by the Song Army to let them go?"

"The last general doesn't think so. The head of the Tang village has less than 2 people, so he must attack the stone with an egg." Lu Hui replied: "Then Guan Sheng and Ximen Qing led an army of tens of thousands to take back Gaizhou's prestige. Coming here majestically, with great momentum. My Huguan is a dangerous place, just to sharpen their morale!"

Shan Shiqi nodded silently. There is no natural danger in Baodu Mountain. If he were Tang Bin, he might have to make the same choice... But at least, he should exchange news with himself, the general of the pot gate.

At this moment, Wu Su and Zhu Jing, the deputy generals outside the door, came in side by side, and said loudly: "The master of Tang Village in Baodu Mountain has a book!"

Shan Shiqi's spirit was lifted: "What is said in the letter, read it quickly!"

The letter was delivered to the only literate person on the spot... Lu Hui.

"Brother Shan Taijian, [-] soldiers of the Song Dynasty passed by under Baodu Mountain and pointed directly at the natural danger of Huguan. Brother Shan must prepare as soon as possible..."

"Choose the important ones!" Shan Shiqi frowned and interrupted Lu Hui: "We don't need to read these things we already know."

Lu Hui made a helpless expression, quickly glanced at the letter, looked at it, Lu Hui was overjoyed, and cupped his hands: "General, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!" Shan Shiqi shouted: "Then Tang Bin doesn't have a daughter for me to marry, congratulations!"

Lu Hui blushed and coughed twice: "General, that's not the case. The Tang village master said in his letter that he has a plan to defeat the Song army."

"Oh?" Shan Shiqi stood up suddenly.

Not only him, Wu Su and Zhu Jing beside him also showed surprised expressions.

That Tang Bin who has been sticking to Baodu Mountain has a plan to defeat the Song Army?

"Tell me in detail." Shan Shiqi waved his hand: "One more nonsense, twenty serving sticks!"

"Master Tang said that he is from the same village as Marshal Guan Sheng of the Song Army, and he has a good friendship." Under the threat, Lu Hui immediately obediently stopped buying Guan Zi: "Guan Sheng and Ximen Qing have never been at odds, and they are willing to cooperate internally and externally..."

"Is this true?" Shan Shiqi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "God help me too! God help me to advance!"
