Chapter forty-fifth

The drumming of the royal men had stopped long ago, leaving only faces looking at each other.

It’s true that Commander Amul agreed to this condition, but they don’t want to just take the lead and kill each other. To take a step back - what if the commander agrees to the other party just as a temporary solution or with the determination to win? In the eyes of the royal family, facing the enemy

Surrendering is an extremely shameful act, not to mention that the other party is a member of the Sheng Kingdom who has a long-standing grudge.

Amul fell to the ground and was still breathing heavily. It seemed that he could only wait for his decision.

"Hey... I said, can you still stand up?" Wei Kui twisted every part of his body, and his bones and joints instantly made a crackling sound. It seemed that he still had some strength left.

"Huh..." Amul supported his body with his arms and climbed up with difficulty, "If you can guarantee the life of the young prince, we are willing to surrender."

"Now is not the time for you to negotiate terms." Wei Kui said coldly. He had no intention of killing the young prince. The survival of the young prince was a standard for the other party's behavior. If the young prince died, the royal family would

They can attack unscrupulously. With the huge disparity in strength, Wei Kui certainly hopes that the young prince will live well.

The reason why he added this sentence was that he was very unhappy with Amul's behavior of adding conditions after his defeat.

"We don't want him to die either, so now you can throw away your weapons, take off your armor, dismount and accept surrender." Wei Kui raised his head and looked at the rows of royal men and said loudly.

"Do you really want to surrender?" Many of the royal cavalry felt unbelievable and whispered among themselves.

Amul, who was sitting on the ground, was like an old man in his twilight years. He nodded sadly: "This is the only way to save the life of the young prince."

There are a total of four to five hundred members of the royal family, and not everyone is willing to accept this condition. However, if the young prince is really killed, even if they successfully wipe out the Shengguo army in front of them, they will still be killed when they return.

If the right prince is executed, there is a great possibility that his family members will be affected...

In the end, in desperation, all the royal troops surrendered in humiliation and disarmed all their weapons in accordance with Wei Kui's request.

"Well... call Lao Du and the others back now. We are preparing to return." Wei Kui whispered a few words to Wei Cheng, and ordered people to find a lot of cowhide ropes from the camp and tie them up with strong cowhide ropes.

The prisoners' hands and wrists were tied together with hemp ropes around their waists to ensure that they would not escape or suddenly attack.

Du Rong and the others also arrived at the camp soon after. Wei Kui's team of 100 people worked hard until dawn to get everything packed - more than 400 prisoners, as well as war horses, weapons, armor and other goods, prey, etc.

It was swept away by Wei Kui.

Before returning, Wei Kui did one more thing. He pulled Amul out of the prisoner team alone, and of course the guy in charge of translating.

"What do you mean?" Amul asked in confusion.

"Of course I want you to send a message to your master and ask your master to take the young prince back." Wei Kui said.

Amul was of course surprised. This guy had tried every possible means to catch us, so why was he so kind and wanted to let us go to fetch reinforcements? But he soon realized what Wei Kui said about taking us back, which of course requires sacrifice.

of cost.

"Aren't you afraid of me running away alone?" Amul looked complicated.

"If you really didn't care about the young prince's life, you would have killed us long ago and ran away..." Wei Kui didn't care. "You still seem to be very loyal to your master. Of course, it may be more out of fear."

"Even if you choose to run away instead of sending a message to your master, after a while we realize that your master has not come to take their children back, and we will send someone else to send a message. At that time, your master will be implicated because of his anger.

It’s not impossible for your whole family.”

"You can make your own choice, we won't suffer."

A few words have clearly explained Amul's situation. The most important point is that "we don't suffer any loss anyway", and this point alone makes us invincible.

"I have finished explaining, now you can go." Wei Kui yawned. It seemed that the sleepless night had some impact on him. "For one month, I hope you can bring your master to Shasha."

Hanguan - every night we will consider inflicting new injuries on the little cub."

"Uh... shouldn't I leave?" the translator standing aside said hesitantly, but was slapped on the head by Wei Kui. "You want to leave too? What? Your master also needs an interpreter to communicate with his subordinates?"

"This guy is your commander, and his status is quite high. When your master is angry, you have to consider whether it is necessary to kill him - and you, a little-known little Gadouzi, are rushing to let others take it out on you.

Is that so?" Wei Kui started to alarm again, and the translator was so frightened that he quickly ran into the prisoner team. In fact, it could not be regarded as alarmist, although the right prince might have killed his own royal commander because of "lack of protection".

But in the end, the probability is not high, but it is extremely possible for an ordinary warrior to replace the commander and become the right prince's punching bag and whetstone.

The armies of Amur and Wei broke off and went all the way back to the depths of the desert to report to Prince You. The other way was naturally to return to Shahan Pass or to look for the Chinese army led by Li Duo along the way.

Half a month later, Wei Kui finally returned to the territory of Sheng Kingdom and successfully reunited with Li Duo's headquarters. This place was not far from Shahan Pass, so Li Duo ordered everyone to withdraw to Shahan Pass for further discussions.

Of course Zheng Xianming also came back. This guy came back even earlier than Wei Kui. He was lost in the desert for a few days. Fortunately, he didn't encounter the Xiegao army, but he couldn't get any information either——

He originally thought that Wei defeated because of Tian Kai's betrayal, and even lost troops and generals, so he did not continue to advance further, but randomly captured some Xiegao merchants to kill good people and take advantage of the merits. He already regarded the vanguard position as

However, he never expected that Wei Kui would capture the son of Prince Xie Gao You and the royal family who protected him. He was so angry that his nose was crooked.

Although it is self-evident who will win the position of pioneer, the process still needs to be followed. Li Duo summoned Wei Kui and Zheng Xianming to his mansion in Guan Nei, in order to win the battle at Wansu Camp.

And the ownership of the vanguard title was announced in front of the senior leaders of the Sirius Army.

"You guys are so lucky." Zheng Xianming and Wei Kui happened to bump into each other in front of Li Duo's mansion. Thinking that Wei Kui was about to step on him, he naturally wanted to give the other party some good looks, but in the end he still felt

I was unhappy, so I could only stab Wei Kui angrily, and the implication was of course, "I am no less capable than you, but you were lucky enough to catch a big fish."

In fact, Zheng Xianming did not know the danger of the situation at that time, not to mention that Wei Kui actually defeated Amur in a head-on confrontation. Although there was no large-scale conflict, Wei Kui was able to use the young prince to negotiate and capture the opponent without bloodshed.

. Objectively speaking, whether Zheng Xianming can defeat Amul depends on another matter. He does not have the courage to face the impact of the Xiegao people and make a desperate counterattack against the opponent's camp.

Therefore, people like Zheng Xianming look very fierce, but in fact they are strong on the outside and capable on the inside. Otherwise, they would not use "you are just lucky" to excuse others, belittle their opponents, and make excuses for their own incompetence. The real strong man

People like Wei Kui, although his strength has never been as good as Li Duo, will challenge and fight every opportunity, and will not be discouraged or cowed by the opponent's strong strength and his own disadvantage.

After that, he was more diligent in introspection and continued to hone. Although Wei Kui is still not Li Duo's opponent so far, his attitude and behavior determine that his achievements will not stop there, and only such a person will have the power to enter the palace.

An opportunity to become a strong person.

Wei Kui is already a confirmed vanguard, and naturally he will not have any verbal disputes with Zheng Xianming, but he has to talk about Lin San's matter carefully: "You haven't realized that your little brother Tian Kai has never

Show up?"

Zheng Xianming had approached Tian Kai. He saw with his own eyes that Wei Kui was arrogantly escorting the prisoners back to the Chinese army. Of course, he had to question Tian Kai about what happened before. Why did he cause so much damage to others when he was sent out to do sabotage?

He piled prisoners out? But he searched left and right but couldn't find Tian Kai. Later, he asked one of Wei Kui's men that Tian Kai was dead, but the other party was also vague. Zheng Xianming just thought Tian Kai was dead.

Unfortunately, he died during the battle with the Haogao people.

He was already angry all day long because his position was not guaranteed, so he had no time to investigate the cause of Tian Kai's death. It was good that he didn't scold Tian Kai in his heart for his incompetence.

"Uh...ah..." Zheng Xianming was stunned for a while before he responded to Wei Kui's words, "What about my little brother Tian Kai, I'm not familiar with him?"

Wei Kui's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered: "Tian Kai admitted that he was yours before he died. Not only my subordinates, but also the prisoners can testify to this."

In fact, before he died, Tian Kai only admitted that he had killed Lin San, and did not say that he was the person sent by Zheng Xianming. But I thought with my toes that Tian Kai was either related to Zheng Xianming or Wang Chi - after all

There are only two people who have a grudge against Wei Kui.

Seeing Zheng Xianming's covert reaction at this moment, Wei Kui was even more certain that Tian Kai was sent by Zheng Xianming to harm him. He snorted coldly in his nose: "We have a little brother, Lin San, but he was killed by that bastard.

Killed..."

"He has already paid this debt with his life, and now it's your turn to pay it back." There seemed to be fire burning in Wei Kui's eyes. He and Lin San didn't have much of a friendship, but at least it was him.

The soldier he brought out died in the desert in such an unexplained way. Naturally, he wanted to seek justice for them. "I know that even if I report this matter, you may not get the punishment you deserve. It's just

It’s a waste of money to pay for your life...so I won’t report it, let’s just take our time and have fun.”

After Wei Kui said such threatening words to Zheng Xianming, he walked straight into Li Duo's mansion, leaving Zheng Xianming, who was stunned, standing outside the door.

The process of conferring the position of pioneer was also very smooth - originally Li Duo was solely responsible for the Wansu Camp, and no one else would raise any objections as to who he wanted to be appointed to, but he still needed a piece of credit to silence everyone.

, coupled with the fact that there are other generals in the Tianlang Army whose official positions are no less than those of Li Duo, Wei Kui has made a great contribution this time so that he can show his face in front of these people.

The struggle between Wei Kui and Zheng Xianming can be said to have come to an end since then. He first forced Li Duo to stop in the martial arts competition, and then in the competition for the vanguard position, he made a great contribution by hijacking the camp and capturing the enemy.

For a time, it was famous and popular.

But no one thought that today's events would quietly foreshadow the subsequent crisis.
