After defeating his boss, Qin Shaojun finally climbed halfway up the mountain. With his small arms and short legs that could compete with Zhao Hongrun, it was not easy to climb to such a height. No, it was not easy to see it from among the rocks halfway up the mountain.
By the time he reached the abandoned watchtower, he was already so tired that his head was covered with sweat.
"Young Master, do you need a little help from your humble position?" Peng Zhong, the captain of the guard who was walking in front, asked worriedly.
"No need." Qin Shaojun shook his head and replied breathlessly but firmly: "I can do it."
Hearing this, the nearby guards all showed admiration. Although no one stepped forward to help Qin Shaojun, they focused all their attention on the little man to prevent him from slipping and falling.
However, Qin Shaojun surprisingly relied on his own physical strength to complete the entire journey.
"Your Highness Shaojun, wuwu, Your Highness Shaojun has grown up, and in his humble heart... in his heart..."
Guard chief Peng Chong pretended to be moved to tears, causing all the guards to burst into laughter. However, Qin Shaojun's face turned red with anger. He stepped forward and kicked Peng Chong in the calf, and Peng Chong hugged him painfully.
He screamed with his legs raised.
"Hmph!" Qin Shaojun snorted lightly and said coldly: "We asked him to stay out all night today, and no one is allowed to help him!"
Hearing this, Peng Zhong's expression changed drastically and he exclaimed: "Young Master, you are wrong in your humble position..."
But at this time, Qin Shaojun had already entered the watchtower, so Peng Zhong could only catch up to him with a flattering look on his face to please him.
"It's really your own fault." One of the guards shook his head and sighed, which aroused the agreement of all the guards.
"Your Highness, Shaojun, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. Please spare me. It's almost winter. If the cold wind blows outside all night, it will really kill someone..."
As he walked up the stairs to the abandoned watchtower, Peng Zhong kept begging Qin Shaojun for mercy, fully explaining what it means to be destitute of one's own fault.
But when they arrived at the second floor of this abandoned watchtower, Peng Zhong's expression suddenly changed and he grabbed Qin Shaojun's arm.
"You..." Qin Shaojun turned his head angrily and was about to speak when he saw Peng Zhong's serious look on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Peng Zhong made a silent gesture, and then pointed at the wool blankets on the second floor of the watchtower.
"Is there anyone?"
Qin Shaojun immediately stopped talking and allowed Peng Zhong to issue orders.
I saw Peng Zhong making a few gestures to the guards behind him, and then pointed in the direction of the third floor. The guards nodded in understanding, and each drew their swords from the scabbards on their waists. Peng Zhong took the lead, and the group made no sound.
walked up.
At this time, Peng Zhong was no longer as showy as usual. He narrowed his eyes slightly and held a sharp sword in his right hand, like a tiger ready to attack.
He led the guards behind him to the observation deck on the third floor quietly, stood in the stone house, and looked warily at the observation deck outside the stone house.
However, no one was seen.
Is there no one? Of course it’s impossible!
"interesting……"
Licking his lips, Peng Zhong gestured to the guards behind him, and then like a tiger coming out of the gate, he rushed outside the stone house and slashed hard to the right with the sharp sword in his hand.
However, what surprised him was that the opponent hiding outside the stone house reacted perfectly. He immediately blocked it with the weapon in his hand and then counterattacked.
In just the blink of an eye, Qin Shaojun's dozen guards rushed out.
However, in the next moment, Peng Zhong, who was fighting hard, and his opponent, Zong Wei Weijiao next to Zhao Hongrun, after fighting for several moves, the two of them recognized each other by chance, with shocked expressions on their faces.
expression.
"It's you?!" they both shouted in unison.
At this time, Qin Shaojun, who was secretly hiding in the stone house, also saw Zhao Hongrun standing in the corner of the observation deck, and the expression on his face was even more wonderful.
"He...why is he here again?!"
Qin Shaojun couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
"Stop! Stop everyone!"
After gaining a tacit understanding with their eyes, Qin Shaojun's guard chief Peng Zhong and Zhao Hongrun's clan guard Wei Jiao shouted out in unison to stop the two sides from continuing to fight.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun, who was holding a crossbow with Lintao Lord Wei Ji and didn't know which attacker to shoot at, his expression became a little strange, because he also saw Qin Shaojun hiding in the stone house and secretly aiming at him.
It has to be said that when Zhao Hongrun's eyes came into contact with Qin Shaojun's, both parties felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Compared with the two of them, Peng Zhong and Wei Jiao get along much more freely.
After putting the sharp sword in his hand back into the scabbard on his waist, Peng Zhong said to Wei Jiao with some surprise: "Chief Zong Wei is really hiding his secrets. Just now Peng tried his best to do something, but there was nothing he could do."
Chief Wei Zong..."
"Guard Commander Peng, thank you." Wei Jiao also put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard and said with a smile: "Wei was shocked just now. Although he felt that there was someone hiding inside, he didn't expect it.
The man was so fast that he was almost beheaded by Guard Chief Peng..."
"Master Zong Weichang is too modest." Peng Zhong laughed loudly.
At this time, Qin Shaojun's guards also recognized Zhao Hongrun's clan guards, and the two sides put away their weapons in a tacit understanding. Only Lintao Lord Wei Ji, Lu Balong and the three Lun warriors were slightly more
I'm confused and don't understand what's going on.
"Chief Zongwei, are these people... from the Qin State?"
Lu Balong looked up and down at the armors worn by Peng Zhong and others, and tentatively asked Zhao Hongrun.
Because what Lu Balong was talking about was Wei Yan, Peng Zhong was able to understand it a little better. He turned his head and glanced at Lu Balong. When he saw the three Lun warriors wearing sheepskin jackets next to Lu Balong, he smiled slightly.
I was stunned. After all, the dress of the Yi warriors was not much different from that of the Jie warriors, at least in the eyes of the Qin people.
It has to be said that the presence of the three Lun clan warriors made Peng Zhong and other guards vigilant. The vigilance of Peng Zhong and others also made the clan guards increase their vigilance, so that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense.
At this moment, Qin Shaojun walked out of the stone house and said calmly: "Stop it." After saying that, he slowly walked to Zhao Hongrun, turned around and glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and asked flatly: "How could you do this?
Here?"
Looking at the Qin Shaojun in front of him, Zhao Hongrun felt really confused.
You can say that they are not friends. When they were hunting together in Chenggao, they almost chatted all night, and they were almost like each other's confidants. But we can say that they are friends. When they met again in Daliang, the capital of the King of Wei, a while ago,
Due to their respective positions, the two broke up by default.
Unexpectedly, we would meet here again.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "I am here to inquire about the military situation... Didn't I say it when I was in Daliang? If your Qin State really dares to infringe on the interests of Wei, I will personally do it."
Lead the army and beat your "desire" for war into "despair"!"
"Shh~"
Beside him, Zongwei Mu Qing blew a frivolous whistle, seemingly praising His Highness for his domineering speech, but everyone present felt that this whistle seemed to have an inexplicable sarcasm.
No, Zhao Hongrun glared at Mu Qing fiercely, lowered his voice and cursed: "Mu Qing, don't let me force you to jump from here."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing trembled all over and quickly covered his mouth with one hand. At the same time, he waved the other hand to indicate that he would not speak again.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun's face brightened slightly, and he turned around and asked Qin Shaojun calmly: "What about you?"
"Yu?" Qin Shaojun looked up at the battlefield in the distance and said calmly: "I just wanted to see the outcome of this battle... but I didn't expect to meet you here, His Highness Ji Run, King Su of Wei.
"
"Does this count as a past life fate?" Qin Shaojun's chief of guard Peng Zhong suddenly interjected with a smirk, causing the aura that Qin Shaojun had finally built up to disappear.
"Peng Chong! Jump out of here! Immediately!" Qin Shaojun's face turned red and he shouted angrily.
"No, Your Highness Shaojun, I have realized my mistake. I will stop talking..." After saying that, Peng Zhong imitated Mu Qing, covering his mouth with one hand and moving the other hand repeatedly.
Everyone present burst out laughing in unison, and the tense atmosphere of the confrontation immediately disappeared.
"...I won't disturb you two."
After Lintao Lord Wei Ji took a deep look at Qin Shaojun's blushing face, he showed a strange expression on his face and retreated to the other side, so that only Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun were left in that corner.
For some reason, Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun couldn't help but feel deeply embarrassed because of the deliberate avoidance of the people around them.
"I……"
"I..." they both said in unison.
"Say first..."
"Say first..." They both said in unison again.
"I……"
"I..." they said in unison for the third time.
The people nearby couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter. Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun were so angry that they each glanced at him with vicious eyes, and then they turned their bodies to the other side.
After suppressing everyone with their eyes, Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun looked at each other, feeling the embarrassment in their hearts getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, Qin Shaojun caught a glimpse of the ugly and weird-looking telescope next to Zhao Hongrun. Half out of curiosity and half out of curiosity, he changed the subject and asked, "What is this?"
Zhao Hongrun raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "A small gadget."
"Oh?" Qin Shaojun looked at it curiously, and by coincidence, he stood in the right position and tried to see what was inside through the lens barrel of the telescope.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned, subconsciously reached out and covered the other end of the telescope barrel with his hand.
Unfortunately, the other section of the telescope was quite large. Even though Zhao Hongrun blocked it with his hands in time, Qin Shaojun still saw some distant views.
"What...what is this? It can actually bring such a distant view so close that it seems to be right in front of you..."
Qin Shaojun was extremely shocked. He certainly understood the key role that this gadget mentioned by Zhao Hongrun could play on the battlefield.
However, he did not ask about this object. After all, Zhao Hongrun's action of blocking the other end of the telescope with his hand just now proved the latter's position.
Yes, His Highness Ji Run, the Su King of the Wei State, is not only a native of Wei, but also the son of the King of Wei; and he is the young king of the Qin State.
One of them is in Qin and the other is in Wei. Now that Qin and Wei are at odds, they are destined to become enemies.
