Mi Zhu hurried to Tao Qian's mansion and paid homage to Tao Qian in the prefecture palace.

At this time, Tao Qian, who had already changed his clothes and tidied up his appearance, sat in the study and read quietly. Although he was absent-minded, he focused on the major event of conquering Gan Ning and Zhou Tai.

"Lord, I'm very happy. Guo Jia surrendered, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai are willing to surrender to the lord." Mi Zhu came up and opened the right way, but his expression was always faint.

When Tao Qian heard this, he threw the bamboo slips on the table, stood up with a happy look on his face, paced back and forth and suppressed his joy in his heart, looked at Mi Zhu and asked, "Where are these three people?"

Mi Zhu bowed his head and said, "Guo Jia tied himself up in the mansion. Zhou Tai from Ganning hoped that the lord could go in person and submit to him in person."

A hesitant look appeared on his face, Tao Qian hesitated slightly, and said to himself: "Since he is determined to surrender, why do you still have to come forward in person? Is there any fraud?"

Mi Zhu took a step forward and said earnestly: "Lord, Guo Jia can show his sincerity in his own body. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's thief was born, and he was inevitably frightened. At the same time, he was afraid that the lord would not forgive Guo Jia. The three of them had a good relationship. It is understandable that the lord would work together at this time. If the lord wants to subdue the two brave men, shouldn't he come forward in person? If the lord comes forward and promises to forgive Guo Jia in person, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai will be grateful, and at the same time show his lord's kindness and kindness. This move can make the two convinced, overcome obstacles for the lord, and swear to die to repay the favor of his encounter."

After thinking for a moment, Tao Qian finally made up his mind and clapped his hands and said, "Zi Zhong's words are reasonable. The rare talent of the tiger general in the world is a mediocre person who comes and goes away if he is summoned. I, Tao Qian, went there personally, and treated them sincerely and won the hearts of both of them."

When Tao Qian came to the gate of the Mi family in person, he walked in from the soldiers and separated the road.

When Cao Bao and Tao Shang saw Tao Qian coming in person, they immediately dismounted their horses to greet him. Tao Qian waved his hand to show his mercy to show that he was not given a gift and looked at the closed door of the Mi family and frowned and said, "Zi Zhong, open the door."

Mi Zhu bowed and took the order, stepped forward and opened his door. After the door of the mansion was opened, the scene inside surprised everyone outside the mansion.

In the gate, on the stone road leading to the main hall, Guo Jia was tied up and kneeled in the center. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai stood upright on both sides. Behind them, the four tigers of the Xiao family also knelt down and hung their heads, holding their respective swords with their hands, looking like they were disarmed, while Qiao Xiao stood at the end, holding each other's hands nervously.

"Guo Jia, a sage, knows that his sins are serious and he apologizes for his own crimes. The governor of the state is kind and kind, and he is virtuous and talented. If the governor of the state is open to the ground, Guo Jia is willing to work hard forever."

Guo Jia's opening remark made Tao Qian feel at ease. A smile floated on the corner of his mouth. He was about to step into the hospital. However, Cao Bao stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Lord, be careful of fraud."

Mi Zhu also came up and whispered: "If the lord has any concerns, you might as well bring Wei Duwei Cao and a team of personal soldiers into the courtyard."

Tao Qian thought about it and nodded, asking Cao Bao to take a team of personal soldiers to escort the left and right, and walked towards the Mi family courtyard.

Only then did Gan Ning and Zhou Tai see Tao Qian's image clearly, humble and elegant, honest and simple, was simply approachable and kind elder.

But when they looked at Tao Qian's vigilant soldiers who pressed the handle of the knife on both sides, they were disdainful in their hearts.

Tao Qian and Guo Jia, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were ten steps apart, nodded and smiled, "I have heard of the name of Guo Jia in Yingchuan. I have long heard of it. I think that you have committed a sin in Hedong is just a thought of evil. I love your talent. Today I will save your life and make meritorious service to atone for your sins. In the future, you will help me benefit the people of Xuzhou."

"Mr. Xiezhou Mu is magnanimous and cannot repay you. He must devote himself to helping the Lord. He will help the Lord. "When Guo Jia bowed to the ground, his tone was a little excited.

Tao Qian was very happy when he saw Guo Jia's appearance in panic. When he looked at Gan Ning and Zhou Tai again, the two strong and strong men with tall figures were immediately overjoyed and bowed with kind eyes and asked, "Are the two heroes Gan Ning and Zhou Tai?"

Gan Ning bowed and said, "It's Gan Ning."

"Zhou Tai." Zhou Tai also replied with his fists.

Tao Qian nodded frequently, and the more he looked at him, the more he became more happy, and immediately said: "Now the world is unfair and the people are in trouble. Can the two heroes be willing to serve the court, punish evil and eliminate evil, and safeguard the people and protect the country?"

Zhou Tai and Gan Ning sneered in their hearts: What they said was better than what they sang.

However, his face looked flattered, and Gan Ning said loudly: "I thank the Lord of the State and I will be ordered by the Lord."

Zhou Tai on the other side also quickly expressed his gratitude: "I am grateful for the kindness of the support from the Lord of the State Council."

Tao Qian smiled happily and comforted Lao Huai. However, Cao Bao, who was beside him, was a little depressed. He had captured and killed Guo Jia and went to Wei's house to receive the reward, but this result was this? If Guo Jia surrendered, it would be impossible to kill him.

But the Tao merchant behind Cao Bao became excited. Guo Jia surrendered, so he was a retainer of the Tao family. Isn’t Qiao Xiao and Xiao Qiao easy to win?

But at this moment, a soldier hurried over outside the mansion, knelt down on one knee next to Tao Qian and said, "Report to the lord, water is flowing from all over the city, and the fire has spread to the houses of many large households. If it is not curbed, the grain in the city may be affected."

Everyone present was shocked, and even Tao Qian had a thought flashed through his mind: Fire broke out on all sides? Such a strange thing? It is no accident!

Just as everyone was distracted, Guo Jia, who was kneeling on the ground and lying on the ground, said lightly.

Take action!

Zhou Tai of Ganning had been preparing for a long time and suddenly broke out. The two of them strided and rushed towards the personal guards beside Tao Qian.

The four tigers of the Xiao family who were kneeling on the ground holding a sword stood up at the same time, drew out the sword and swung it out. The point of the sword was Tao Qian.

The person who reacted the fastest was Cao Bao, but as soon as his sword was half drawn, he saw Gan Ning going down the mountain like a tiger, and his iron fist with his strong and domineering power came into view.

when

Gan Ning punched Cao Bao's sword drawn with a punch, making a dull echo. Cao Bao's face was horrified, he stepped back several steps, his heels hit the stone steps, and fell backwards, overwhelming the guards behind him.

The soldier who was reporting the news next to Tao Qian was in a place of shock. He was about to draw his sword to protect his master, but he didn't expect that he was attacked by a fierce and powerful force on his waist. He flew away in a slanting mouthful of blood, and then threw down a piece of personal soldiers. After landing, he endured the severe pain and raised his head to look at the person who attacked him. However, Zhou Tai, who was in a rough green uniform, shouted loudly, and everyone was frightened.

Tao Qian turned around and wanted to escape, but unexpectedly, four long swords behind him that emitted cold light under the moonlight passed by him, attacking in and out of the sword to protect his personal soldiers.

The young man in white had a chaotic sword shadow, and the four tigers of the Xiao family were fierce and fierce. After repelling their personal soldiers, they turned around and four sharp swords pointed directly at Tao Qian with a pale face.

Tao Qian was already shocked at this time and trembled involuntarily. In front of him, four young men in white looked indifferent. On the left, Gan Ning stood proudly and hugged his arms. On the right, Zhou Tai was staring at him with fierce light.

Turning slowly, Tao Qian looked at Guo Jia, and his face was even bloodless.

Guo Jia, who was kneeling on the ground, leaning against the ground, raised his head and raised his waist, raised his left leg and stepped firmly on the ground. His body was together. The short and cowardly figure who had been kneeling on the ground before suddenly became tall and majestic.

The head that had been hanging down slowly raised, and the slightly raised face made Tao Qian see clearly.

His face was like jade, with a flying spirit, and his deep and divine eyes exuded a confident charm, while the faint smile on the corner of his mouth brought a bit of evil spirit.

Qiao Xiao took out the dagger that Guo Jia gave to them in advance and cut the thick rope tied to Guo Jia. After moving his muscles and bones, Guo Jia slowly walked towards Tao Qian.

"Guo Jia, what do you want? Do you dare to kill me? I am the head of a state, how dare you act rashly?"

Tao Qian was really brave at this time. He was not scared to death, but instead straightened his chest and was not afraid at all.

Guo Jia took a dagger from Da Qiao's hand and walked to Tao Qian. He always smiled, but suddenly raised the dagger and inserted it into Tao Qian's shoulder.

scold

A fountain of blood spurted out, and everyone was shocked, but Tao Qian gritted his teeth and held back, and sweated coldly, staring at Guo Jia without any timidity.

"Tao Gongzu, you have more backbone than I think. This knife tells you that I, Guo Jia, knowing that if I kill you now, I will definitely die. But if I die, I will really be able to take action, you, the governor of Xuzhou."

Guo Jia smiled calmly and crossed Tao Qian, looking at the scene outside the Mi Mansion. Cao Bao, Tao Shang and Mi Zhu stood in the front. Behind them were a row of swords and axemen, and the crossbowmen were catching the swords and axemen in the cracks.

"Brother Zizhong, thank you for setting fire in the city, so that I can take advantage of the opportunity." Guo Jia bowed to Mi Zhu with a smile on his face.

Mi Zhu's pupils shrank slightly and his face remained unchanged. His pale face was full of anger. He pointed at Guo Jia and scolded: "Guo Jia, you are slandering!"

Guo Jia pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh? Brother Zizhong, have you forgotten that you had agreed before that you brought Tao Gongzu and set fire to the city to give me the opportunity to kill Tao Gongzu? Haha, I, Guo Jia, don't like being used, let alone I, Guo Jia, is not a fool, it's easy to kill Tao Gongzu, but I still want to survive. As for what you said, the Xinzhou master recommended by the Mi family in the future, hehe, I, Guo Jia, don't care!"

Mi Zhu's face changed drastically, his lips turned pale, and he could only point at Guo Jia and tremble, but he couldn't say a refutation, and repeatedly shouted: "Bloody swears, bloody swears..."

However, Cao Bao and Tao Shang next to him were already angry and pointed their weapons at Mi Zhu.

Guo Jia already understood what he said. This person not only conspired with Guo Jia to harm the provincial governor, but also wanted to elect a new provincial governor to take office!

Needless to say, Cao Bao, Tao Qian died, and his glory was over.

The Tao merchant was even worse. My son was dead, but he did not have the saying of hereditary official title.

When the trees fall and the money scatters, will they have a good life?

So at this time, Cao Bao and Tao Shang looked at Mi Zhu not only with anger, but also with a murderous intent.

Guo Jia turned around and faced Tao Qian and smiled secretly: Such a superficial plan of disagreement, if Tao Qian fails to fall into the trap, he will definitely have a gap with Mi Zhu. If he falls into the trap, it will only mean that Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, is as stupid as a pig.
