Nie Ze stared at Xun Xiu. After a long time, he smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xun, please sit down!"
Hearing this, Xun Xiu's heart dropped in his throat. He bowed his hands deeply, and then knelt down beside him.
Nie Ze said seriously: "Whether Feng Kingdom can form an alliance with you or not, I cannot decide. This requires the approval and approval of the king."
"This is the reason why the villain came to see General Nie." Xun Xiu said bluntly, "I hope that General Nie can speak kindly to our general in front of His Highness King Feng. Facilitating this matter will only be beneficial to us.
The country of wind is also extremely beneficial."
Nie Ze rubbed his chin and said nothing in thought. Xun Xiu continued: "No matter where General Nie defected or how his mind changed, General Nie is still a loyal man after all. Now that the loyal people want to restore the country, General Nie should help him both in public and private affairs.
Give me a helping hand!"
His words moved Nie Ze to a certain extent. As he said, no matter how high or powerful Nie Ze's title is in Feng Kingdom, he is still a pure person, and the blood of a pure person is flowing in his bones. If
Li Shu can really lead Zhenren to successfully restore the country. Even if he still chooses to stay in Feng Kingdom, he will be happy for Zhenren from the bottom of his heart.
Nie Ze thought for a long time, nodded, and said: "I will report this matter to the court as soon as possible, and also write a letter to the king, asking the king to consider the matter carefully."
Xun Xiu rolled his eyes and said in embarrassment: "General Nie, if you just mention this matter in a letter, I'm afraid His Highness King Feng may not take it seriously."
Nie Ze tilted his head and asked: "Mr. Xun means..."
Xun Xiu said seriously: "I want to pay homage to His Highness Feng Wang in person, and I hope General Nie will grant his permission."
It turns out that Xun Xiu came to see him not to discuss anything with him, but just to meet the king through himself. Although Nie Ze felt a little unhappy when he thought about this, he still felt that he had to introduce Xun Xiu to the king.
of necessity.
The alliance between Feng State and Li Shu's forces is indeed beneficial to Feng State. At least it can give Feng State one more chess piece to contain Sichuan State. On the other hand, Nie Ze himself is willing to facilitate this matter, just in case Li Shu really relies on it.
The power of the Feng Kingdom has succeeded in restoring the country.
After thinking about it, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I will personally go to Shangjing to introduce you to the king!"
As soon as these words came out, Xun Xiu was extremely excited. The latter hurriedly stood up, bowed his hands respectfully and saluted, and said in a trembling voice: "I would like to thank General Nie for this."
Nie Ze squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, and said quietly: "I have tried my best to pave the way for you. As for whether you can achieve great things in the future, it depends on Li Shu and your own abilities.
"
The next day, Nie Ze took Xun Xiu and left the camp of Bai Zhanjun and set off for Shangjing. Since it was not a war period, Nie Ze could move relatively freely and did not need to receive an order from Tang Yin or the imperial court to return to Beijing.
.
When Nie Ze and Xun Xiu returned to Shangjing, it was already half a month later. Unfortunately, the day they arrived in Shangjing was that Tang Yin was not in the city, but went out to hunt. As for when he would come back, the guards at the station
I can’t tell clearly. It may come back on the same day, or it may take three to five days.
Although Tang Yin was not here, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and other ministers were all in Beijing. Nie Ze took Xun Xiu to visit Qiu Zhen, the Prime Minister of the Left. Upon hearing the news of Nie Ze's arrival in Beijing, Qiu Zhen was a little surprised. How could he come from Huan?
Came back?
Qiu Zhen met Nie Ze, and after the latter explained his intention to return to Beijing this time, Qiu Zhen couldn't help but take a breath.
Among the ministers of the Feng Kingdom, Qiu Zhen's sharp thinking is the best. As soon as Nie Ze finished speaking, he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he seizes this opportunity, Li Shu will definitely become the opponent of the Feng Kingdom in the future.
A breakthrough for Sichuan Kingdom.
He suggested to Nie Ze that instead of waiting in the city for the king to come back, he immediately took Xun Xiu to go to the king directly outside the city and report the matter to the king. If nothing else happened, the king would definitely take the matter seriously.
Qiu Zhen's words were exactly what Nie Ze wanted. After the latter left Qiu Zhen's temporary residence, he took Xun Xiu out of the city without stopping to find Tang Yin.
The place where Tang Yin hunted was not close to Shangjing, more than twenty miles eastward. It was a vast mountainous area, but the mountains were not steep, so it was indeed a good place for hunting.
Traveling with Tang Yin this time were Shangguan Yuan Rang, Jiang Fan and other generals from the Feng Kingdom. In addition, Yin Rou also went out with Tang Yin to relax.
When Nie Ze and Xun Xiu arrived here, it was already evening.
After hunting for a whole day, Tang Yin had a lot of harvest. He hunted a total of two deer, three pheasants, and four hares. However, what he hunted was not as good as Shangguan Yuanrang's.
Jean had many more prey than him, but he actually hunted an adult black bear. This is not something that happens often and requires a certain amount of luck.
At this time, Tang Yin has decided to camp here and continue hunting tomorrow.
The camp was very lively, with tents one after another and bonfires piled up. Groups of Fengjun soldiers sat around the bonfires, chatting and laughing while roasting their prey.
Tang Yin, Yin Rou, Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan and others also sat on the ground beside the campfire like ordinary soldiers.
While joking, Tang Yin heard buzzing discussions around him from time to time. He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that the guards nearby were still whispering. He asked with a smile: "What are you talking about secretly?"
Seeing the king looking towards him, a guard hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Report to the king, no... nothing..."
"Not telling the truth is a crime of deceiving the emperor!" Tang Yin deliberately threatened with a cold face.
The guard who spoke shivered with fright and whispered: "Your Majesty, we are... we are discussing whether General Yuan Rang's archery skills are better or General Jiang Fan's."
"Oh?" Tang Yin blinked, was stunned for a moment, laughed, nodded repeatedly, and said, "I'm also very curious about this, how about..." As he spoke, he turned to look at Shangguan Yuan Ranghe
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "How about you two competing against each other?"
Jiang Fan is not a person who likes to show off, not to mention that archery is his strength. He has always looked down upon his own strengths as being weaker than others. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, it's not necessary.
Bar……"
Before he could finish speaking, Shangguan Yuanrang stood up and shouted dissatisfied: "What do you mean, no need, am I bound to lose to you? Let's compete! Jiang Fan, get up, get up!"
He couldn't help but drag Jiang Fan up from the ground. The latter looked helpless and shook his head repeatedly.
Seeing Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan compete in archery skills, the generals around them were also happy to watch the fun. Some were cheering, some applauding, and some came forward to cheer them up. Whistles were everywhere.
Tang Yin pulled Yin Rou to stand up and asked Ah San and Ah Si beside him: "Did we catch a lot of hares?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ah San replied with a smile.
"Now it comes in handy." Tang Yin first looked at the sky, and then said to Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan: "How about you two shooting rabbits to see who can shoot more accurately?"
"Soldiers are coming to block it, water is coming to the earth, it doesn't matter how you compare to me." Shangguan Yuanrang said nonchalantly.
Jiang Fan was put on the shelf, he smiled bitterly and said: "The last general has no objections."
"Okay!" Tang Yin led everyone to the edge of the camp. Beyond that, there was a dense forest. He stopped and said, "Just here!" As he spoke, he asked people to move the caught hare over.
Soon, a guard brought up wooden cages one by one and piled them on the ground. A quick look revealed that there were at least dozens of cages, and each cage contained one or several hares.
At this time, the sky had darkened, not completely dark, but the light was already very limited. Tang Yin took the bow and arrow from the guard and said with a smile: "I'll give it a try first!"
As he spoke, he nocked an arrow with his bow and whistled to the guard on the side. The guard understood and quickly opened the cage. As soon as he opened the small door of the cage, the rabbit inside jumped out like crazy.
Run to the woods on the other side.
Tang Yin said: "Check the numbers!"
The guard was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and hurriedly chanted: "One, two, three, four..."
It wasn't until the guard's chant reached twelve that Tang Yin fiercely shot out the arrow in his hand.
With a whooshing sound, the arrow broke through the wind and flew into the woods as fast as lightning. It hit the rabbit that escaped into the forest right in the middle. Because the arrow was so powerful, it penetrated the rabbit's body.
It rolled forward for several meters before stopping.
The scene was quiet at first, and then there were cheers everywhere, and all the guards cheered: "The king is mighty! The king is mighty—"
"Haha!" Tang Yin looked up and laughed, threw the bow to the guard next to him, and took Yin Rou into his arms.
Seeing his proud look, Yin Rou couldn't help but reminded her in a low voice: "It's obviously a competition between General Yuan Rang and General Jiang Fan!"
The smile on Tang Yin's face became even thicker and he said, "I'm just trying to show you that the archery skills of the two of them are far better than mine!" After saying this, Tang Yin was actually not very convinced in his heart.
I am a competitive person by nature, no matter what aspect.
At this moment, a guard ran over, stepped in and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, General Nie is here."
"Nie Ze?" Tang Yin was stunned and muttered: "Isn't he stationed in Huandi? Why did he come to Shangjing?" After a moment of pause, he smiled again: "Nie Ze came just in time to catch up with the show.
Come on, please invite him over!"
After the guards left, Tang Yin said to Shangguan Yuan Rang and Jiang Fan with a smirk on his face: "Yuan Rang, Jiang Fan, and Nie Ze are here. You two have to do your best. No one wants to be embarrassed in front of Nie Ze, otherwise
If it spreads to the Hundred War Army, it will damage their respective reputations!"
Pounce, pounce! Shangguan Yuanrang said nothing, lowered his head, and spat into his palm, looking like he was gearing up and eager to try.
Jiang Fan felt dumbfounded. How could he provoke someone like this in front of others? The king was so playful, he was no different from a child.
