A heroic scene that was very consistent with feudal values occurred in the north of the city, but Zhang Xing and Li Ding in the south of the city knew nothing about it. Not only that, the saints, prime ministers and other officials in the center of the city would soon learn about it
Regarding this matter, Zhang and Li still had to wait until the dust settled before they could wake up.
There was no way, their perspective was limited, and they were all focused on the siege and relief. Even if they foresee some possibilities, they are destined to have a lack of imagination in the various specific incidents that occurred after the siege.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, people seemed to begin to regain their vitality, and various incidents began to unfold densely, causing ripples one after another.
The first edict sent from the county government was a reaffirmation of the wishes to the people of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufan counties, including tax exemptions, pardon for sinners, and release of official slaves.
This made the atmosphere in Zhang Xing's camp become strange.
At this time, the powerful and powerful clan leaders had already packed their things in advance, raised the banner of the Youzhou General Manager's Office, and walked back along the military station they had built for a long time. As for the servants of the wealthy families and gangsters who stayed here,
They gathered around Zhang Xing to find out whether this decree was related to them.
Moreover, after learning that it had nothing to do with them, they couldn't hide their disappointment...
But soon, the second decree with a slightly revised tone arrived. The content was the same, but it expanded the scope of pardon and release of official slaves to civilians who came to support from outside the three counties.
In this inconspicuous camp located in the south of the city, groups were immediately divided. Some people cheered and some looked sarcastic, but at the same time, some people were completely lost.
What's exciting are the official slaves. They are now freed from their shackles and back to the common people... Huairong is not the capital of the East. The official slaves still have human rights and can really redeem themselves. This is a real blessing for them.
At the same time, there are also a small number of low-level gangsters who are in some trouble and feel that they can start a new life, and they are also a little excited.
As for the lost ones, they were the private slaves sent by the Gao family. The so-called private slaves of Lubi livestock, they were not included in the pardon.
This seems to be natural, because according to any "legal rules", even if there is merit, it belongs to their master Huairong Gao and has nothing to do with them. Even when they first came, they just followed the master's wishes and did not have much themselves.
Hope... It's just that after they had heard too much information in the camp during the past few days, they had no reason to look forward to it.
As for those who are being criticized, it is those gangsters, who can even be called rangers. These people mainly seek an official position, so naturally they are anxious.
Then they became even more anxious.
Because the next three consecutive decrees are publicly announced:
All ministries were asked to collect statistics on the number of people and gather together to prepare. No matter what, Shengjia would leave Yunnei City within today and travel south to Taiyuan;
Then, with the two ministers behind the palace, Li Cheng, the general manager of Youzhou, assisted the prefect Wang Rengong in cleaning up the place, recovering the city and repairing the border;
The Jin reinforcements collectively escorted them, and their entourage returned to Taiyuan. Other reinforcements stayed in Mayi to receive Li Cheng, and Wang Rengong unified the command to retreat from the enemy. When the Wu tribe enemies were completely defeated, the Holy Army arrived in Taiyuan, where they were unified to discuss their merits and reward them.
In other words, the matter was delayed, and the reinforcements from Youzhou could no longer accompany them and stayed locally.
Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, summoned the leaders of the rangers, and once again suggested that they take advantage of the chaos and pretend not to hear the order, and together with the private slaves of the Gao family who were about to turn back, catch up with the fellow villagers who had evacuated, and go home directly
.If we really leave late and are caught by some military leader, it will be a bit difficult to handle.
After hearing Zhang Xing's persuasion, some people finally wavered and chose to obey, but others were still a little unwilling - unlike others, they came here voluntarily and wanted to give it a try, and were not willing to give up their fame at all.
future.
Not only that, they also hoped that Zhang Changjian, who seemed to be easy to talk to, would contact General Luo for them before leaving for Taiyuan so that he could continue to serve the country.
Everyone has their own ambitions and it’s hard to tell, but since he had his own ideas, Zhang Xing certainly had nothing to say, so he immediately asked Xiao Zhou to go into the city, call Qin Bao, and ask Qin Bao to lead these people to have sex with his uncle, cousin, or someone else.
After the handover, Zhang Xing himself, like Li Ding, went into the city to find his respective "shangguan".
The saint didn't want to stay in Yunnei City for another day, and the others had no choice but to follow... But at the same time, everyone felt tired with the mentality of surviving a disaster, and eager to return home to Dongdu.
When he first entered the city, the atmosphere in the city was still mostly jubilant and anxious. But after arriving at the county mansion, Zhang Xing clearly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
But at this time, he had no time to think too much. He could only hurriedly go to see Duke Niu, and after a while, he was suddenly summoned.
Immediately, Zhang Sanlang saw two unexpected people after stepping into the governor's room... Cao Ming, the young prime minister of Jing'an station led by the King of Qi, and Bai Yousi, the real Chang Jian of Fulongwei... Of course,
It is not a special surprise for Bai Yousi. Because he holds the Fulong Seal, Bai Yousi needs to be with the Queen all the time. He rarely communicates in person, but they meet a lot along the way. They meet in big cities.
There is no problem in communicating directly with the palace, and we even met him on the night he left the city a few days ago.
But the last time His Highness King Qi met this adult prince was in the Eastern Capital.
But Zhang Xing still doesn't know why the atmosphere in the county is so tense?
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Niu Du Gong turned back to look at King Qi in the middle, who was wearing a black cloak and had a pale face.
"Very good." Qi King Cao Ming rubbed his hands and managed to laugh. "Zhang Sanlang is indeed a conscientious person, and he has some fate with me... He accompanied me, which makes me feel a little more at ease."
Duke Niu nodded repeatedly and looked at Bai Yousi, who was expressionless.
Bai Yousi sneered, then nodded: "I'm on a errand to eat food, how can I not go?"
Du Gong Niu nodded again, and then looked at Zhang Xing, who was still bowing his hands and saluting in the air: "Zhang Sanlang, you worked hard to bring reinforcements here. You just handed in the order yesterday, and you have been away from Dongdu for half a year. Logically speaking, you should be allowed to accompany you.
We turned back together... But something unexpected happened right now, and we need someone trustworthy to accompany His Highness King Qi on a journey through the sea of misery... Bai Changjian wants to take care of Fulongyin and will set off with him immediately. I want to leave too, so...
Sorry, Deputy Inspector Zhang."
Although Zhang Xing was a little confused, he immediately put down his hand and nodded... Niu Dugong spoke in person, and he even accompanied the prince and his theoretical immediate superior, so what else could he do?
I just hope it's not a troublesome thing - Speaking of which, I used the compass before, probably in response to following Qin Bao to break out of the encirclement. After all, I broke through several passes and killed many people with real swords and guns.
.
However, despite saying this, Duke Niu hesitated, as if he had something to hide, and could only sigh.
Zhang Xing, who was waiting for the next words, had no choice but to look directly at Bai Yousi.
Bai Yousi's face was expressionless, but his words were sharp: "Two things. One is to escort Prince Qi to sit on the front line of the bitter sea and monitor the Wu tribe's complete retreat; the other is to ask you to go to the border of the bitter sea to admiral Wei Shangshu.
The body was brought back... Wei Shangshu led 5,000 troops north to monitor the shamans last night. Early this morning, for some reason, he suddenly chose to raid the main force of shamans who were about to evacuate. As a result, he was defeated and died... The saint lost his temper and said that he did not believe it.
If you die, you will see your corpse... Do you understand?"
Zhang Xing was stunned for a long time... I really don't blame him. There is too much information here. Although Wei Shangshu is not familiar with him, he is one of the top ten leaders in the inspection team. When he came yesterday, he was said to be still in the city.
He died early this morning... not to mention that the saint didn't believe it, even Zhang Laosan didn't believe it for a while.
It was Duke Niu who finally spoke about the matter again: "The main reason for this matter is that it needs to be kept secret, so as not to disturb the morale of the army. You need to stop your troops and go out in casual clothes as much as possible...and...and once you go out, the main thing is to listen to His Highness King Qi,
Take what he says... adapt to local conditions and act according to circumstances... Do you understand?"
Although Bai Yousi seemed to have some resentment that was hard to express, and Du Gong Niu seemed to have something to say, Zhang Xing could only nod his head immediately.
Moreover, Zhang Xing seemed to have turned a corner on this matter.
First of all, there is the matter of Wei Chi. Putting aside the accident if the earthen jar breaks without leaving the well mouth, combined with the temper of the saint, what else can there be? At most, it is a drama of grievances between the king and his ministers, and the death of the king.
For a moment, Zhang Sanlang even thought of the saint's pre-battle promise that was almost impossible to be forgotten, as well as the whip Wei Chi received before entering the city, as well as the earlier abolition of the governor state in Kansai, and the great commander-in-chief.
The princess's family died one after another... and then they became linked together.
There seems to be no need to say more about King Qi.
Based on the previous intelligence, King Qi, as an adult prince, has always been the front station for this patrol. Then, after what happened to the princess and her family in Kansai, the team turned back to Jin, and King Qi became the rear guard again, so that the Wu clan suddenly
When he got angry and surrounded Yunnei, the adult prince happened to be stuck in Taiyuan, the accompanying capital that had not been appointed to stay behind.
Although the siege ended on the 20th day, and although it can be seen from the appearance of King Qi here and the officials from Jin coming to express their loyalty to the Holy Spirit, King Qi did not do anything, or did not have time to do it, but the saint's solemn attitude
How can your mind be happy?
Considering that the reinforcements from Jin were all accompanying him to Taiyuan, and that Li Cheng, the general manager of Youzhou in the north who was in charge of the aftermath, was a close confidant of the saint, it seemed more like a shelving, isolation and dispatch of the King of Qi to the north to take charge.
No wonder the atmosphere in the county mansion was so weird, no wonder Governor Niu was so embarrassed, and Bai Yousi seemed so angry.
"That's good." Seeing Zhang Xing nod, King Qi coughed twice. "I won't delay the Governor's preparations for the ceremony. I will change my clothes now, dress up a little, and then go out with Zhang Sanlang... I hope it will be early."
Go and come back early."
Duke Niu immediately calmed down and said nothing.
Bai Yousi, on the other hand, remained silent for a moment, then held his long sword and slightly raised his hand towards Zhang Xing: "Sanlang, take care... go and come back quickly."
Then, he took the lead in moving out of the room.
Zhang Xing immediately nodded in return and went out to wait for King Qi.
After coming out, Duke Niu had obviously made arrangements. First, Eunuch Yu brought a complete set of Beiya documents and the Tiger Talisman of the Ministry of War. Then ten Fulong guards and two military experts who acted as guides were also gathered, and then forty
A horse, carrying an empty water bag and a pile of dry food.
After a moment, His Highness King Qi also changed into a simple leather armor, carried a long sword wrapped in silk, and led the horse out on his own.
Several of the Fulong Guards recognized King Qi and immediately wanted to bow down, but King Qi stopped them: "Just pretend not to see me. I will only talk to Deputy Changjian Zhang. You can just listen to him."
Zhang Xing seemed to have obtained all the command rights, but in fact he had no intervention at all.
Of course, at the moment, there are really no twists and turns. The so-called coming and going in a daze... vividly demonstrates the helplessness of a middle-level officer in the Wei Dynasty who is controlled by the system.
It was not yet noon when we set off, and everyone had three horses and one person, and they were all experts in light armor at the stage of the eight extraordinary meridians, so it went smoothly naturally.
But even so, we still encountered several small-scale battles along the way. Many small Wu tribe troops or small tribes who went out to plunder privately were obviously blocked by the Wei army behind the Wuzhou Mountain Pass. At this time, they were desperately trying to return.
On the shore of Kuhai, he tried to catch up with the last ship, but was blocked by the defense lines built by the Wei army. In turn, he fell prey to the Youzhou cavalry.
All the way north, only forty or fifty miles, and it was only the afternoon, we arrived at the designated place. The two guides told us that the temporary camp at the mountain pass in front of us should be the place where Wei Shangshu's body was buried, and also the place where Manager Li of Youzhou was buried.
He and the Minister of War, Duan Shangshu, worked together to gather the defeated army and established the frontline camp.
Zhang Xing was relieved for a moment.
He was really relieved, because he didn't care about the possible outcome of this battle, nor how heroic Wei Shangshu's death was. He just thought that the distance was so close, and if he took the body, he might be able to change horses and turn back immediately, and he could pursue him early tomorrow morning.
Join a large army and hand over your errands early.
This seems a bit cold-blooded.
But the fact is that the fundamental significance of this battle is similar to the unveiling and the trumpet, similar to the chants and slogans, and is by no means the military operation itself. And all those who sacrificed for no reason in this battle can only be reduced to the prelude to the political storm.
Debris.
In Zhang Xing's eyes, there was no difference between the people of Mayi who were taken captive, the elite cavalry who fell off their horses and died due to a hasty march, the soldiers of the Wu clan who were left to die on the other side of the sea of suffering, and the Minister of Wei.
Of course, it is different in the eyes of others, because this Wei Shangshu was a Shangshu, and he died heroically and with a heroic temperament. Especially this kind of angry death remonstrance is destined to deeply touch the hearts of the people.
The emotions between the Long warlords and the saints... Bai Yousi was obviously touched. After hearing about it, Li Ding would most likely be touched.
But even if he was touched by Zhang Xing, he could only be touched from a humanitarian perspective. However, corpses were not uncommon along the way.
In short, this seems to be a hero. In the future, someone may write an article to commemorate him, and he may even be famous. If Zhang Xing is in a better state, he may be moved and empathized, but at this time, all he thinks about is how to deliver the work and end the mission early.
, end this ridiculous inspection as soon as possible, return to Dongdu to rest, and prepare to find a foreign minister.
At this time, King Qi behind him suddenly said: "Zhang Xing."
"Your Majesty is here." Zhang Xing, who had recovered his senses, turned around in surprise. "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"I won't go in now." King Qi stood expressionless on the roadside. "You take people in, go directly to Duan Shangshu, and ask him to return with the body in person and catch up with the Holy Driver. Let Fulongwei and the two accompanying him
The messenger also returned with him. You go to Youzhou Manager Li alone, and then ask Manager Li to wait for me in the tent. Then you can come out and take me to see him."
As he said this, His Highness the King of Qi actually found a white ribbon in his arms, hung it on his waist, and turned back to look at the other Fulong Guards and the two guides: "Some of you know me, some of you don't...
…It doesn’t matter…no one is allowed to tell anyone about today’s events.”
Zhang Xing instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he had no choice but to agree with the others.
Next, since he was just running errands to inform the two officials and did not need to do it himself, things were particularly easy. Zhang Xing did not even see Wei Chi's corpse. He only took a quick glance when he came out to lead King Qi in quietly and saw Duan Wei with a sad expression.
I just turned back south with my twelve companions.
When they returned to the temporary camp again, Zhang Xing failed to enter Li Cheng's tent and just sat outside.
But King Qi didn't stay long and walked out. Zhang Xing greeted him with his last hope... He very much hoped that this matter would end here.
Let's go!
"Let's go." Qi King Cao Ming sighed. "General Manager Li means that if the Wu tribe really wants to withdraw, Deputy Changjian might as well come with me to see the sea of suffering."
Zhang Xing was completely speechless, but he could only accompany the leader, who was either crazy or the Riddler, to get on his horse, pass through the temporary military camp, and continue to gallop north.
After galloping for about twenty or thirty miles, he heard the sound of waves rising, and signs of battle began to appear in a large area in front of him. King Qi suddenly galloped his horse up the relatively gentle hillside on one side. Zhang Xing did not dare to neglect it.
, follow closely.
Climbing up the hillside, looking down from a high position, Zhang Xing was completely stunned.
Without him, under the afternoon sun, the waves of the Sea of Bitterness were trembling slightly, lapping at the rugged banks, while the huge Wu tribe camp was also making final preparations to board the ship... Maybe they realized that they could not wait for those small tribes who had lost the message.
Fires began to be set randomly in the clan camp... The smoke was billowing. It was relatively thick at first, but when it rose to a certain height, it was dispersed by the north wind coming from the bitter sea and turned into a fine mist-like thing, like cloud smoke.
.
But these clouds and smoke still cannot cover the Bitter Sea, which is hundreds of miles wide and extends all the way north to where the icebergs can be seen.
This is a real sea. It doesn’t matter if it’s man-made, or it’s done by witches or dragons, but it’s just a sea.
At this moment, Zhang Xing put away all his weariness, put away all his disgust and irritability towards political tricks, and also put away his self-righteous guesses about the historical context.
Because in front of this sea that appears directly north of Jin Dynasty, there can be no absolute overlap of history.
And this seems to mean new possibilities and new stories.
Zhang Xing wanted to cry inexplicably, but he couldn't tell whether he was sad or moved.
"Did Vice Changjian Zhang start to feel homesick after seeing the sea of suffering?" Qi King Cao Ming suddenly laughed. "Why do you feel like crying? I remember you are from the North?"
"I'm from the North, but it's not necessarily homesick." Zhang Xing didn't look back, he just looked at the sea. "Maybe he's homesick...it's hard to say."
"Homesickness is homesickness, what's wrong with that?" Cao Ming shook his head. "It's just you and me here, aren't you embarrassed?"
Before Zhang Xing could respond, His Royal Highness the King of Qi was thoughtful again: "It is indeed not necessarily the case. It is normal to be homesick at first, and then worry about the future, and then state affairs. Then he mourns the officers, friends, relatives, and laments Wei Shangshu, and
What's wrong? I'm just a little narrow-minded."
"The ancients have never been seen before, and the newcomers have never been seen after. Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I burst into tears with sadness." Zhang Xing thought of this sentence almost instinctively, and then blurted it out. "When people want to cry, why can't they cry? Why ask for someone?
The reason? Besides, I didn’t cry after all."
Cao Ming fell silent and stood still, just looking at the sea like Zhang Xing.
It wasn't until before sunset that almost all the Wu clan's ships left. The Wei army sent a team to search and enter the seaside. The noise rose and then fell, and the two stopped watching the sea.
"Your Highness, do you want to go back to camp?" Zhang Xing asked seriously under the setting sun.
Cao Ming shook his head: "Thank you, Deputy Chang Jian, let's light a bonfire."
Zhang Xing smiled bitterly and could only get off his horse, collect some firewood, take out the flint, and carefully light the fire.
The bonfire was lit, and the two sat down together. Cao Ming finally took the initiative to speak after being silent for a long time:
"Zhang Xing, Deputy Changjian Zhang, Zhang Sanlang, do you know? Ever since we met again in the willow forest, I have been waiting for the two of us to get along with each other calmly like this in private and settle our grudges..."
Zhang Xing's scalp felt numb, he thought for a moment, fiddled with the fire with a branch, and then told him seriously: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I encountered the Fenshan Lord and the Banhai Lord during the second expedition to Dongyi, and I was frightened.
, I have forgotten all the incidents before the war... If there is any fate between your Majesty and Your Highness before, please ask Your Highness to talk about it from the beginning."
Cao Ming was surprised for a moment, but after a moment, his tone became more serious: "If this is the case, I will be even more ashamed... But it doesn't matter, we will meet later."
Zhang Xing was completely confused, what the hell is this? Isn’t it a grudge? What are you ashamed of?
"Do you know why I came here?" Cao Ming saw this and asked slowly.
"Sage, because when His Highness was in Taiyuan, the civil and military forces of Jin naturally gathered together. Although he knew that this was a natural situation, he still felt unhappy. He wanted His Highness to stay away from the officials, soldiers and civilians of Jin?" Since he asked, Zhang Xing didn't bother.
Pretending not to know, not to mention that he was so confused at the moment, he was just trying to stay calm. "So this time I went north, I was named Governor, and it was actually for distribution, isolation, and surveillance. I waited until Taiyuan was in a good place, or even returned to Dongdu.
Let His Highness go back?"
"Yes and no." Cao Ming answered calmly. "That's roughly what it means, but from a logical point of view, my father's arrangement is really effective, because I really have a way to ensure that the Wu people can't come back easily... It's just that
The harm is great, and nine out of ten it will not succeed."
Zhang Xing was at a loss.
"Do you recognize this sword?" Cao Ming said, taking out an unsheathed sword from his side.
Zhang Xing was still at a loss, but he immediately made a guess: "This is the Shocking Dragon Sword? Your Highness can use this sword to summon the imperial dragon here? But once used, it will cause great damage? And the sin dragon in the sea of suffering is extremely powerful.
, it is very likely that the real dragons in the Jin region will not respond, or will be unable to do anything?"
"Yes." Cao Ming finally sighed, and then he held the long sword and stared at the opponent as he spoke word by word. "In the early spring of last year, the two fronts conquered Dongyi, and the rear Yang Shen rebelled. I, who once cultivated to the level of Chengdan, was appointed Shaocheng.
I left the Eastern Capital in plainclothes under the Holy Order...Don't look at me like that. On that day, it was I who held this sword and walked quickly to Luolongtan, leading Fenshanjun to go out and cut off Dongyi's pursuing troops..."
Zhang Xing was already numb from his scalp to his heart. After a long time, he took his eyes away from the unsheathed sword and asked seriously: "Is Your Highness the person under the tree that day? Because he summoned the true dragon to bite back, he ended up like this.
What’s the outcome?”
"That's right." Cao Ming sneered. "After Fenshanjun came out, I realized that if I used this sword to command the real dragon with my cultivation level as an elixir and as a prince, it would be lucky to lose half of my life... But in contrast to this
I am even more chilled by my father's ruthlessness. He is obviously the emperor and a grandmaster, but he insists on doing things that only require a little cultivation. Zhang Sanlang, do you know? The emperor's grandmaster, the great grandmaster.
Your realm is special, so you should do this."
"He is afraid of your cultivation!" Zhang Xing blurted out, while flashing back to the saint's panic after hearing about Dulan's attack.
"It's not just about cultivation. In the early years, I didn't know how high the sky was. I relied on my own cultivation to be outstanding. After my eldest brother's death, I had some evil thoughts, recruiting talents and managing influence. Then I was easily dealt with by my father, and then I focused on cultivation.
...Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that this is the reason why my father was so frightened that he decided to kill two birds with one stone to eliminate my cultivation after Yang Shen's rebellion." Cao Ming laughed even more. "Therefore, when I woke up that day, not only did I suffer
Seriously injured and waiting to die, I feel even more depressed... I just feel that since the father wants his son to die, and the king wants his ministers to die, I will just die... But you gave me two cakes, which made me less greedy for life.
Get up again.”
Zhang Xing opened his mouth to speak, but had nothing to say.
"Since I met you that day, I have often inquired about you, and then guessed that according to your temperament of carrying that Hongshan man home, you may not say it on the surface, but in fact you hate me in your heart, right?"
Maybe I will become a prime minister in the future, find the person who summoned the dragon that day, and express my hatred with a knife." Seeing this, Cao Ming turned to smile bitterly. "But I didn't expect that the enemy who ruined the lives of tens of thousands of you,
I was in front of you, but instead of killing him with one blow, you gave him two pancakes!"
"Am I your opponent now?" Zhang Xing suddenly asked.
"No." Cao Ming answered seriously. "But if the Wu tribe doesn't leave, or comes back, forcing me to summon the dragon again according to my will, then you can kill as much as you want... This is why I asked Duke Niu to invite you.
Because... If you are really going to die, I will pay you with my life. But on the other hand, I learned from Nanpo since I was a child and believed that this life was given by my father, so if I don't have to call the dragon, I will give you this life.
My life can only be taken away by your father."
"Your Highness is just risking your life and your life with your father-in-law after you have ruined all your prospects." Zhang Xing responded coldly.
"Maybe." Cao Ming responded with a sigh. "But so what? Zhang Sanlang, you are not my opponent at all now, and you have no choice."
"So, if His Highness calls me here, you will most likely humiliate me?" Zhang Xing turned to look at the already dark sea of suffering. "Dulan Khan didn't care about military gains and losses at all, so he surrounded the Emperor of Wei.
The result he originally wanted...if he goes back now, he might be able to take advantage of the situation to reconcile with Tuli, or even form an alliance. This is the biggest pursuit of the Eastern Witch Clan, how can he turn back in a short time?"
"Take it." Cao Ming suddenly handed over the unsheathed sword.
Zhang Xing took it into his hands without hesitation, and then looked at it carefully by the fire.
"Having this sword in your hand will ensure that if I want to use it, you will be by my side so that I can repay my life." Cao Ming looked at the other party and said calmly. "And if I don't have the chance to do it again
If you use it, it's up to you to keep it... Maybe it will save you some troubles... Summoning a dragon comes with a price, not only the person who uses the sword as the key, but I also found out later that the key is to cut off the earth energy and the dragon.
It is against the law of heaven."
Zhang Xingheng held his sword in his knees, his face expressionless, his heart moving slightly.
"Zhang Sanlang, I'm sorry, but I am a nobleman of the royal family. To be able to do this is the result of my open-minded thinking after my future was ruined." Cao Ming stood up and spoke decisively in the dusk. "Don't do anything.
Excessive and unnecessary thoughts will mislead you."
Zhang Xing watched the other party leave, looked up at Shuangyue who showed a little teeth, then lowered his head, put the sword aside casually, and continued to stare blankly at the sea of suffering that could no longer be seen clearly.
Cao Ming just made two mistakes:
First of all, from the moment he knew the whole story, Zhang Xing was not so stingy as to position His Highness the King of Qi as the so-called enemy. This person was too pretentious.
Secondly, after knowing what happened, Zhang Sanlang's unnecessary thoughts disappeared! So much so that he is now full of motivation!
As the saying goes, although the sea of suffering is on credit, it can be picked up if it is soaring; the east corner has passed, but it is not too late to mulberry trees.
Half a month later, the Wu clan never appeared on the Sea of Bitterness. Instead, a winter snow drifted from the Sea of Bitterness. With the arrival of the snow, the last rear guard of the Youzhou General Mansion also chose to evacuate. Zhang Xing and King Qi
He also received the order from Qin Bao himself to lead a team and returned south to the Eastern Capital.
The group of people was eager to return home, but as soon as they passed the White Wolf Pass, they encountered armored bandits blocking the way and asking them for money.
