Zhong Wucai stood in the hall fearfully, but refused to look up. The people sitting in the hall today were all big shots in the northwest. They were even big shots in the entire empire.
Song Bokang, the pastor of Liangzhou, won the first prize in his youth and was also a representative figure of the imperial civil service. Some people also say that he will be the person most likely to take over as the prime minister of the current empire a hundred years from now.
Dai Bai, the general of Xuanwu in the northwest, commanded 100,000 Liangzhou cavalry. He was born in the prime minister's house and married a daughter of the prime minister's house. Calculated by seniority, he was Xue Wenting's uncle.
Shi Luluo, the commander of the army, was born in the Lu family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Lu family is a very wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a saying among the people that the Lu family is half the world.
…
Including Zhong Wucai's father, everyone had a sullen face and their expressions were not very good-looking.
"How did you come back? Please tell me again carefully?" Song Bokang asked.
On the way back, Zhong Wucai was already thinking about what to say. He had said it once just now, and now he was more proficient.
"The man surnamed Cheng was afraid as soon as he knew our identities, especially when he heard Mr. Song's name. He hurriedly accompanied me and sent me back specially. Now as long as we go alone, we can bring him back..."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Lu Luo asked: "You said he was afraid?"
"Of course, he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground. He didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he asked me to come back and asked me to explain it to Mr. Song."
Lu Luo slightly leaned forward and asked: "Since he is afraid, why doesn't he send someone to send you back, and why doesn't he send everyone back together?"
"This..." Zhong Wucai probed: "Is it because he was frightened? I didn't expect this."
"Asshole!" Zhong Wucai's father, Zhong Weihu, finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Get out of here quickly, don't be embarrassed here!"
"Father, what did I say wrong?"
"Get lost!" Zhong Weihu threw the teacup in his hand.
After driving Zhong Wucai out, Zhong Weihu was still angry. He said to Song Bokang: "I have no idea how to teach my son, please forgive me."
Song Bokang waved his hand and said: "It is still important to find a way to rescue the people. Now that they are in the hands of Cheng Dalei, the longer the delay, the more dangerous they will be."
"Sir, since Cheng Dalei has let people come back to deliver the message, the lives of Youqu and the others should not be in danger. They just want to detain people and extort money." Dai Bai said.
Song Bokang pondered for a moment and said: "We still need to send someone there to see what he wants. It is important to rescue him first. Everyone, who dares to go to Qinchuan Pass?"
Cheng Dalei's humanity cannot help but make everyone fear him. If they can't agree on an agreement, he may die in Qinchuan Pass. The son of a rich man cannot sit in the hall, so everyone has to weigh it in their hearts.
"When the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed. Even the Rong people know this rule. Doesn't Cheng Dalei not understand this?" Dai Bai.
"It would be easy to deal with the Rong clan. After all, the Rong clan's credibility is no problem, but Cheng Dalei..." Lu Luo sighed: "No one said he was a man of rules."
Everyone secretly agreed that he dared to kill Yang Longting in front of the emperor of the empire. It was difficult to expect this man to understand the rules and be polite.
"Who dares to go to Qinchuan Pass and meet Cheng Dalei for a while?" Song Bokang asked.
The sound fell to the ground, and the elegant birds in the hall were silent. Dai Bai looked at Lu Luo, and Lu Luo looked at the sky.
"General Dai..." Song Bokang said.
"Ahem, cough, cough, my subordinates are involved in military affairs and I really can't get away from it."
"Mr. Lu?"
"Uh, cough, cough, my subordinate caught wind and cold last night, and he still has a headache today. It's really embarrassing for you, sir."
"I have just received a fortune telling from an expert. It is not advisable to travel far in the near future, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster."
What you say to me is completely different from the silence just now. There is a chaos now, all of which are the sounds of evasion.
"Bastard!" Song Bokang slapped the table angrily: "Cheng Dalei is just a little bandit. How can he be so scary? Is there anyone in Liangzhou who is not afraid of him?"
Everyone's eyes are watching their hearts, their hearts are watching their mouths, and their mouths are silent. Life is important, and you must not make fun of it.
"Lord Song!" Zhong Wucai stood up and bowed deeply: "I am willing to go away and rescue the young master."
If this matter has nothing to do with Zhong Wucai, Zhong Weihu is not willing to wade into this troubled water. The emperor even avoids drunkards, and he is a decent person no matter what, so don't argue with a bastard like Cheng Dalei. But there is no way, everyone else is holding it.
, only Zhong Wucai ran back. And he still humiliated such an adult in front of everyone. For his own future and for Zhong Wucai's future, he had to go through this.
I should stand up and bear the trouble my son caused. There is no other way, Zhong Weihu has to go there.
…
Qinchuan.
The river was surging, and there was a naked figure standing in the middle of the river.
He held a big ax in his hand, and when the waves hit, he would chop them with the axe.
The waves parted, and the cold river water splashed on him and flowed down his clean body.
This process was repeated again and again, and his face showed fatigue, but the fierce light in his eyes became more and more frightening.
In the past few days, Cheng Dalei has been honing his ax skills in the river whenever he has time. The power of Xing Tian's three axes is too terrifying, not only hurting people, but also hurting the owner. In the river, the help of the current can limit Cheng Dalei's power, making him unable to
As for falling into madness.
Every time when he was exhausted, Cheng Dalei tried to control this terrifying power, again and again, never getting tired of it.
Cheng Dalei is often scarred and his skin oozes blood. This is because his muscles bear too much force.
While enduring pain and fatigue, Cheng Dalei's strength was also increasing day by day, and he gradually became accustomed to controlling this power.
This was not an epiphany, but a sudden breakthrough, step by step, and finally arrived at this day. Cheng Dalei stood in the river, holding a big ax in both hands, and a wave came. Cheng Dalei closed his eyes, inhaled, and exerted force fiercely, and the ax hit hard
Swing it down.
The big ax seemed to condense into a ball of white light, and the majestic power contained in it was released. The turbid river water opened a line, revealing the sand and stones below.
Cheng Dalei gasped, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Is this peerless power... I often hear people say that a thousand enemies are against ten thousand enemies, and they think it is a scholar's joke. But the scene in front of him made Cheng Dalei believe: maybe in this world, there is no shortage of tiger generals who are against ten thousand enemies.
Fortunately, I am one of them.
Cheng Dalei looked at the giant ax in his hand with a smug expression.
Suddenly, a wave came and knocked down the unsuspecting Cheng Dalei. He rolled and crawled, and finally managed to grab a stone and climb from the bottom of the river to the shore.
Covered in mud and exhausted, he lay down on the back of the black bull and patted the bull's head: Let's go!
