Su Ziji didn't expect that he would first encounter Shao Sisen's earnest persuasion, and then get a subtle reminder from Qin Mao when he got here.
Although Qin Mao was not as straightforward as Shao Sisen, Su Ziji appreciated it and nodded: "I understand."
As for what I understood and what I will do next, I didn’t go into details.
However, when Qin Mao heard this, he felt that Su Ziji had listened to the advice. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good! I knew that Brother Su Xian, you listened to the advice, but my father still said that you..."
Seeing Su Ziji looking at him expressionlessly, Qin Mao swallowed: "I said you have a tough temperament and will not be easily shaken..."
What a fool, he can't even tell a lie.
Su Ziji shook his head slightly, and he knew that even if that was what he meant, Qin Fengliang's words would not sound so nice, and he must be saying that his mind was cunning.
The two chatted in low voices, but Cui Zhaoquan watched them clearly.
Cui Zhaoquan glanced at Inspector Zhao, who was drinking tea slowly, and sneered secretly, knowing that the eunuch looked calm, and he was probably very anxious and impatient.
He glanced at the young man sitting in the corner again, feeling even more unhappy.
There were two imperial envoys here, but Su Ziji chose to please a eunuch instead of giving up his position as Minister of War. Did he really think that he would end up with a good outcome with the eunuch?
When Dazheng founded the country, Taizu and today both paid attention to restricting the eunuchs from intervening in politics. They followed the eunuchs for fear of losing points. Only when they frowned, the soldiers outside the door reported: "Sir, Mu Sang has arrived!"
"Let him in!" Cui Zhaoquan, who was not in a good mood at first, heard this and immediately put aside other thoughts and said, holding back his excitement.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone in the tent, a dark-skinned man who looked to be in his forties slowly walked in from outside, followed by two people.
Let’s talk about the man walking in front first. He is seven feet tall and has a strong and sturdy build. His hair is tied with a black and gold ribbon. He has a low ponytail that is placed on his shoulders. He has a bun on his forehead and a golden raven-shaped hair.
Only the front part of the hoop is exposed. Judging from the color, it should be made of pure gold.
He has a face with a Chinese character, mediocre facial features, and only a pair of tiger eyes, which are so dazzling that people will feel at a glance that this person is indeed extraordinary.
Looking at what he is wearing, he is just a cotton-padded jacket. If there is anything unusual about him, it is probably that he has a piece of tiger skin as a coat slanted across his shoulders, and his waist is tied with a belt of unknown material, which makes people think he is a warrior.
.
Others paid it back, but the wild Taoist took a deep breath when he saw it in person.
"It's like a dragon walking like a tiger. It looks noble in its posture, and it also has a royal aura. It's really shocking."
"It has been thirty years since Xu Dingding came to power. Why are there still people like this?"
After entering, the man stood with his head held high, as did the two tall and strong men. He only nodded slightly towards the people above him and cupped his hands: "Mu Sang has met the two imperial envoys of Dazheng."
Inspector Zhao's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, and Cui Zhaoquan's expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, someone already broke out.
Sitting first on the right is Qian Zhidong.
It is said that enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. Qian Zhidong's eyes were red at this moment. He stood up and shouted: "How brave! Mu Sang, as a traitor, you don't kneel down when you meet the imperial envoy?"
If this enemy chief hadn't fought against him and killed thirty thousand of his own, why would he be so tied up that he wouldn't dare to make a single mistake?
"Two imperial envoys, this traitor is obviously dissatisfied and dares to defy the imperial court. He deserves to be killed!"
After hearing this, Cui Zhaoquan's eyes flashed and he couldn't help thinking. The man in front of him was the enemy chief who led the 170th village. He had led the army to resist the imperial court in the past few years. The Southwest Army was not weak, but it could not win even 30,000 casualties.
It can be said to be a personal problem.
Now that I have fallen into a trap, with just one order, the armored soldiers can kill the enemy chieftain, or he may be hostile to the people who did not surrender in the stronghold in the future, but this is indeed a good opportunity.
If you kill him now, you will be done with it. If you don't kill him, you may not encounter such an opportunity again in the future.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Sang, who was standing below, had already smelled murderous intent. His heart was frightened, but he raised his head and laughed. This laugh almost angered everyone in the tent.
"Why are you laughing?" Inspector Zhao on the side asked curiously, but his tone was cold.
Mu Sang didn't care who was asking. When asked, he answered: "I'm laughing at you. If you plan to end the war by killing me before I come, this is purely wishful thinking!"
"My son Xiongge has grown up a long time ago. After my death, he can directly inherit my throne and fight to the death with you!"
"Don't think that by blocking the mountain road and killing the horse teams delivering goods to the mountain, you can trap us to death! I tell you the truth, Feiyu Village has allowed me to pass through Feiya Mountain!"
"Even if you can trap me here, the entire mountain range occupies the southwest half, and you can't seal all the paths. Feiyu Village did not intervene in the war before, but after all, it is still a person from the mountains. When it opens its mouth, your plan will be revealed.
Of course it won’t work!”
Everyone who originally just sneered or glared at Mu Sang finally changed their expressions slightly when they heard the words "Feiyu Village".
Su Ziji was in the corner, and when he saw the people nearby, he couldn't help but change his color, and he touched the name carefully.
"Feiyu Village... is on the side of the continuous mountains, three to four hundred miles away from here. It is located in an extremely dangerous place among the mountains. Feiyu and Feiya are named after this."
"The people in this village are more isolated than those who follow the enemy chief. They usually don't interact with outsiders. If they want to pass through the Feiya Mountain pass, they must obtain the consent of Feiyu Village."
"And once it is passable, it will take another three to four hundred miles to get out of the mountain."
"But no matter how difficult it is to walk, it will indeed be able to bypass the siege of Dazheng. This means that the mountain siege plan will be aborted directly, and a gap will be opened to obtain food and grass."
But the price paid for this achievement is really huge.
Seeing that everyone present seemed to only know that it was indeed possible to get out of the mountain through Feiyu Village from the opposite side, but did not know the trouble involved, Su Ziji suddenly sneered in the corner and took a step forward: "Students have something to say!"
"Say!" Cui Zhaoquan said gloomily.
Su Ziji loudly said: "What you say is really ridiculous. Even if the Feiyu tribe passes by, it will still take 700 miles to go back and forth. It is a thousand miles away and the mountain road is rugged. How much food can be transported?
"
When everyone heard this, they were startled at first, but when they looked at the enemy chief, they found that Mu Sang was also stunned, and immediately looked at Su Ziji, his face turning red.
It was clear that they were almost deceived by this enemy chieftain.
Supervisor Zhao, who was in charge, sneered: "You are quite scheming. To reach this point, you still want to deceive us. This is really very courageous..."
As he said that, Mu Sang had already felt the eunuch's murderous intention and knew that he was going to die. In the moment when the eunuch thought about it, he hurriedly took back his resentment towards the young man. He pondered for a moment and said: "My lords, it is thousands of miles away and the mountain road is rugged.
But it’s better than death.”
"The imperial court wants to force us to die. Even if we die of exhaustion and starvation, we must fight with the imperial court to the end."
He said this clearly and clearly, and when he saw that the generals were red-eyed, they were about to start shouting to fight and kill as soon as he finished speaking, but the man's words changed: "Besides, even if you surrender, I am also the leader, commanding one hundred and seventy villages.
There’s no way I’ll get any benefits if I surrender, right? At least you have to treat me like a prince!”
Seeing that this man was so confident and confident, everyone around him laughed angrily. Such a rude man, who knew the rules of the court, immediately began to scold him arrogantly and ignorantly.
Supervisor Zhao pressed his hand and said calmly: "This is impossible, non-royalty cannot be crowned king. This is a rule set by Grandfather Taizu, and no one can make an exception."
"Okay, if you don't want to be a prince, you can also make me a prince. But what you mentioned before is that you want me to kill Tan Yang. I can't agree to this. He is my brother. I have a close relationship with him. I have a close relationship with him.
He has an oath to die together and to live together!"
Inspector Zhao narrowed his eyes and felt more and more that the other party was asking for a high price.
"Huo Yanzhai is determined to oppose the imperial court. Every time he fights, he takes the lead. I wish I could kill a few more great Zheng Erlangs, so that everyone can avoid death. This traitor will never be spared."
"Besides, if you refuse to kill, it means that you are not sincere about surrender, and there is no need to discuss other matters!"
"That's not allowed! That's not allowed either. You said we are not sincere. I think you are not sincere. You are just playing tricks on us by surrendering!"
Mu Sang suddenly shouted, as if he was stimulated by the successive rejections.
He said cruelly: "In that case, it's better to fight to the death! You can just kill me! Then everyone will continue to fight!"
"It will kill us, and it must be the same for your soldiers!"
As soon as these offensive words came out, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
After all, even those soldiers who had hatred towards him were already tired from fighting and did not want to fight anymore.
Mu Sang can surrender directly without having to fight anymore, and everyone has accumulated enough merits to go back to the prosperous world and enjoy a peaceful life. What's wrong with this?
Because of this, I was holding my breath and wanted to look good to the enemy chief, but when I heard that the other party turned against me, I became a little anxious.
Others looked uneasily at the two imperial envoys at the top, fearing that they might actually order the execution of the enemy chief.
If this is really the case, we will fight to the death.
Just when everyone was nervous, the hall was as quiet as a needle. Mu Sang glanced at everyone, stretched out a finger and waved his hand: "Of course, these are not non-negotiable, as long as you promise me a
I agree to all the requests of the imperial court and will never go back on my word!"
Cui Zhaoquan, the leader, was startled at first, but then he was overjoyed. He could really get all the enemy chiefs to agree to the court's request. This mission to the southwest was overfulfilled.
He forced himself to calm down and asked, "What's the request?"
Mu Sang turned his eyes, looked at the young man in the corner, and smiled ferociously: "My conditions are on the paper. Come and present it to the two imperial envoys and a commander."
If such a request were made publicly, even if it was for the sake of the court's face, it would be impossible to agree to it, but with a note, it would be completely different.
