"You mean Mr. Pei?" General Li stepped forward and grabbed Xu Zuo's arm, speaking in a more urgent tone.

General Li's excited expression didn't seem like he heard the enemy's success in his hands, but it was a bit like the joyful anticipation of seeing his sweetheart.

When Ding turned right and peeked again, General Li returned to his original expression.

It’s weird.

Ding You touched the goatee, and his eyes returned to Xu Zuo. Seeing that Xu Zuo was still panting after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but want to mention him: "As long as you say that he is the murderer who killed the first prince, all of us will If you know, there is no need to say anything later."

"Old Ding, I know." Xu Zuo touched his head with a simple and honest look.

Ding You nodded with a "children can be taught" expression.

But Xu Zuo still opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, his expression was more excited than before, as if he had something more important to say. Seeing him like this, Ding You said: "If there is anything else you want to say, just say it."

Xu Zuo: "I also captured that dog prince from the enemy country!"

Both General Li and Ding You looked surprised. They looked at each other for a long time, as if they were confirming whether Xu Zuo's words were credible.

"Are you sure you caught them?" After thinking for a long time, General Li asked him first, "How did you catch them? You probably used the plan I mentioned a few days ago to lure them here."

"Yeah, didn't we catch the other side last time, the idiot who made a mark along the road and ran all the way to our camp? The general let him go and let him fend for himself."

Xu Zuo continued: "Later, Mr. Ding was worried that the location of the camp would be exposed, but the general told him that he didn't have to worry about it, and it happened to attract other people to kill him. Today I followed him and followed him all the way. Coincidentally, this didn't catch him."

"Did I ask you to do it?" Before he gave any orders, the work was done first. Although he was satisfied with the result, it was a violation of military discipline for Xu Zuo to act without waiting for his order.

Xu Zuo was still immersed in the joy of victory, and automatically ignored his questioning. He passed General Li directly, pulled his robe and sat on the stool, with one leg resting on the table, and squeezed a plate of melon seeds on the table. While eating, he chewed and spit out a mouthful of melon seed skin.

Xu Zuo ate the melon seeds, he snorted proudly and said, "No matter how strong and arrogant he is, he will still fall into the general's trap."

After a while, the skin of the melon seeds was spat all over the ground, and the oily fragrance of the melon seeds could be smelled even in the air.

General Li and Ding You looked at him with disgust, everyone was arrested and everything was done, so Xu Zuo's crimes had to be investigated later.

When the name Pei Qian was mentioned, the figure in Tsing Yi, who was waving a fan by the lakeside and smiling from afar, flashed past General Li's memory.

Wanting to see him earlier made him forget about Xu Zuo's random idioms. General Li hurriedly helped him up, urging Xu Zuo, who was as calm as a little monk, "quick, take me to see .”

"Okay. Let's go, I'll take the general to see the beauty." Xu Zuo walked in front of him, his robe seemed to be shaking when it was blown up.

General Li lagged behind him for a while, seeing that Xu Zuo in front did not turn his head, he realized that it was just what he said casually, and then he continued walking as if nothing had happened.

"Be more careful when speaking in the future." Ding You waited for General Li to get out of the tent, walked some distance, then stooped, patted the shoulder of Xu Zuo, who had lifted the curtain, and said earnestly, in a low voice that only Xu Zuo could do. hear.

Xu Zuo put down the curtain, scratched his head and laughed: "Old Ding, did I say something wrong again?"

……

"What kind of talk is this! How can you tie up Prince Da Zhou and Mr. Pei? No matter what kind of grievances there are between Zhou and Song, we should also treat them with courtesy. Song Jun is not a bandit, and the way of hospitality is still As it should be."

As soon as General Li came in, he saw two people tied together by some thick ropes in the corner of the tent, he stopped at the door, waiting for Xu Zuo to come up and admit his mistake.

"If you don't tie them up, the two of them will definitely take the opportunity to escape."

Xu Zuo entered the door, stepped forward and pulled out the knife decisively from his waist, and raised Pei Qian's chin with the tip of the knife. Hearing their general's kind words, he thought that the person he had worked so hard to capture might be released. , I was in a hurry to speak.

"Every time he fought against Zhou, he played us like monkeys. Many soldiers were confused by him, and finally lost and fled. General Li didn't see it. They played tricks on the road many times, trying to steal from us. Run away with your hands. Ding Lao, what is wrong with my words this time?"

"It's almost right this time." Ding You stroked his beard and replied with satisfaction.

"Untie." General Li gave the order.

With two simple words, there is no room for rejection, and the people below dare not disobey.

A few soldiers were about to go up to untie him, but Xu Zuo was still standing in front of them, showing no intention of stepping aside.

Obstructing Xu Zuo's face, a soldier bravely stepped forward and begged, "Captain Xu, you..."

"The first prince is no longer here." Xu Zuo still stood at the same place, his voice was tough, and his tone was different from the kindness he had when talking to them before.

His voice was so loud that it filled the small tent and reached everyone's ears, as if reminding them to recognize the facts.

Yuan Jinian, who was pretending to be dizzy in the corner, was still smiling in his heart. Although he couldn't see the faces of those people in the room, it was the voices he had heard for several years, so how could he not recognize who was who.

He also knew why Xu Zuo would mention him.

When Yuan Ji Nian was still in the Song camp, he focused on appeasing the enemy bandits. Even if they failed in the end, they would put them back intact. Because of this, they lost a lot of opportunities, and because of this, they exposed the camp several times. He knew that General Li's way of dealing with the enemy was influenced by him.

I didn't expect to help myself one day.

But at present he is the Prince of Zhou, everyone in the Song Ying should dislike him and wish to kill him to avenge his dead brother.

But when he learned that it was a trap set by someone, he deliberately waited to be caught. The reason is very simple, just because at that moment, he especially wanted to return to Song Ying and see those bloody friends again.

It doesn't matter what might happen, or death, or torture.

But Pei Qian was a little pitiful. He was involved in something that had nothing to do with him. Those people in Dazhou might also be implicated by him.

General Li lowered his voice, with a serious face, and called his name: "Xu Zuo."

No matter how stupid Xu Zuo was, he knew that General Li was angry.

Xu Zuo still didn't leave, his generous figure turned his back to General Li and Ding You.

The knife that Xu Zuo rested on Pei Qian's chin slowly slid onto Pei Qian's tender neck: "If we can kill him in advance, we can avoid a lot of trouble. Da Zhou is without him now, and the interior is empty. If I lead the troops there, I can kill them all, and if their internal reinforcements arrive, we can use the two of them as a threat to force them to surrender."

"No." General Li decisively interrupted his proposal, "We have lost tens of thousands of brothers in the few battles a while ago, and now even though we defeated the Zhou army last time, Rang still lost to the Zhou army. half of it. If the whole game is lost, who can afford the consequences of the guilt and the lives of tens of thousands of troops?"

If he rushed into Zhou's interior rashly, I'm afraid Song Jun's fate will be miserable, which can be regarded as a life-threatening gamble.

Yuan Ji Nian was also secretly relieved and quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

Song Ying is led by such a person, Yuan Ji Nian can rest assured.

A thick and long red mark had been made on Pei Qian's neck by the knife, and his eyelashes moved slightly.

Xu Zuo's thoughts were all on General Li's words, so naturally he didn't notice such a subtle movement.

But General Li saw it.

But at this moment, Xu Zuo noticed the way General Li looked at Pei Qian, and he also saw something in his eyes: "Is the general feeling sorry for him?"

Hearing these words, Yuan Ji Nian's heart seemed to be tightly grasped.

Distressed...?!

The author has something to say: I was reading in the library today, and my phone ran out of battery and couldn’t be charged, so it’s late. I’m sorry, I’ll try to bring a power bank with me next time I go out.
