The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

The carriage rushed back and forth, and finally returned to Panning City before sunset. Xia Yi had been waiting for him early on, and changed the carriage by himself to send Chu Chu back to the post house.

Facts have proved that not only Xia Yi, but also Zui Menghuan, Wang Xi, etc. were waiting anxiously. After inquiring, they found out that the official who sent the letter of surrender had arrived, and neither Chu Chu nor Chu Chu could be found in the posthouse. Gu Zhai, although Chu Chu had already informed them that they were invited to drink tea in Xia Ji alone, but they didn't know where Xia Ji was and had nowhere to look for him, but at this time Gu Zhai also disappeared.

Hearing that the man had returned, the official hurried over and handed him the letter of surrender.

Chu Chu naturally knew this envoy. He was an old minister of the Ling Kingdom who had long since retired from the court. He was a very kind-hearted old man. In the past, he was responsible for the diplomacy of the Ling Kingdom. In the market, but still concerned about the safety of Lingguo, he often corresponded with him, asking about the battle situation at the border.

The lord of the country invited this old man out, and it seems that he really values ​​the agreement with Sichuan.

When the old envoy saw Chu Chu, he knelt down to salute him and handed over the letter of surrender. Chu Chu hurriedly entrusted the old man with a hand and took his letter of surrender.

"What can't be tolerated, you are the chief recruiter of the Chuan Kingdom, representing the entire Chuan Kingdom, and he is only the person who was surrendered on behalf of the Ling Kingdom. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It is a basic etiquette to kneel down and present the letter of surrender. Well, Master Chu is still too young, so he's very soft-hearted." Gu Zhai leaned against the door eaves for a while, but he didn't approach, and his tone was not so good.

Hearing this, the old envoy didn't dare to sit down anymore. Knowing that it was Gu Zhai, he hurriedly wanted to salute Gu Zhai. This general could not be offended no matter what. In those years he often exchanged letters with General Weng Shu. The God of War in the Sichuan Kingdom has heard about it.

Gu Zhai walked slowly to the inner hall, but said again: "No need, let Master Chu do whatever he says, our Master Chu is the one who recruited to demote, and I overstepped it for a while."

Chu Chu thought how this person seemed to have eaten meth, let him talk out everything, and he didn't deal with him even if he co-authored it openly or secretly.

Chu Chu pretended not to understand Gu Zhai's sarcasm, and asked, "Where did the general go today, they haven't been able to find you for a long time."

"Master Chu doesn't seem qualified to ask me where I'm going. You are the person in charge, but you made a 'new friend', and you can't see the beginning and end of the whole day. That person is so interesting that you don't even care about the business. " Gu Zhai replied.

Both of them secretly had something in their hearts, no one continued the topic, they just took it off, and for a moment the entire lobby of the post house was filled with embarrassment.

The old envoy saw that the atmosphere between the two was tense, but neither of them reacted to the matter of Lingguo's surrender. He was already nervous after waiting for a day. Dare to break the deadlock, for fear of bringing irreparable disaster to Lingguo.

Chu Chu sat in the hall and carefully read the contents of the letter of surrender, and after confirming that there was nothing inappropriate, he signed his name and stamped his seal, and handed the letter of surrender to Gu Zhai, so that Gu Zhai Zhai affixed his own seal.

After all the seals of the two were stamped, Chu Chu was escorted out of the post house by soldiers, and went to the tower in a carriage.

Holding the vermilion letter of surrender in his hand, the young prince with the appearance of a heavenly man stood on the top of the city tower and announced to the city, but his voice trembled for some reason. The people of the Ling Kingdom thought that the recruiting officer was too young and had never experienced such a major event. The soldiers of Chuan State complained that Chu Chu was delicate and weak, and lacked strength. It would be more intimidating if they let their god general go out on horseback. They felt that such a person was not worthy of being the chief recruiter!

Chu Chu's voice was very nice, but the words and sentences he read lacked cadence and emotion: "Your Majesty Gaoyi, I would like to let the Ling Kingdom live. Now the letter of surrender has been ordered, and the state will be deprived. It will not be possible in the future." Calling the country without authorization, it will be designated as the territory of the Sichuan Kingdom from now on, and from now on, it is necessary to come to the court every year to pay tribute, and may the mountains and rivers last forever and share peace."

Chu Chu gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, leaving the green hills without worrying about no firewood. One day, Lingguo will break away from Chuanguo and stand up again.

Chu Chu didn't want to stare at the letter anymore, and looked at Gu Zhai downstairs, and found that he seemed to be lacking in interest. It was obvious that this person worked so hard when fighting him before, and now his goal has been achieved. , Why is it like this, there is no joy at all, he pondered in his heart.

Gu Zhai also noticed Chu Chu's gaze, and raised his head to meet his eyes. His eyes were full of energy, firm and determined, shining like stars in the dark night. For some reason, he felt that these eyes were a little different from usual, not only In this way, he once again felt that this person today was also different from the soft and weak "little sick child".

A hidden arrow pierced the sky and shot towards Chu Chu on the tower from nowhere. Chu Chu was still a little dazed when she landed on Mu Citron behind her, only to hear someone shouting, "Protect Your Excellency!"

When I looked again, Gu Zhai had leapt to his side without knowing when, and pulled him behind. The guards who followed closely surrounded the two of them and escorted them down the tower.

The two were surrounded by guards holding shields, and they were very close.

Gu Zhai's voice came from Chu Chu's ear, and he asked, "How are you, are you injured?"

Chu Chu wiped his wound, wiped off the blood that was bubbling out, and said with a smile: "It's just a little skin trauma, it's fine."

The young man's smile was warm and warm, and Gu Zhai was stunned to see it. When he came back to his senses, his tone softened three points: "When I get on my horse, don't be in a hurry to go back to the post. You take medicine."

Gu Zhai, who suddenly became gentle, seemed to have changed his temper, which surprised Chu Chu. Gu Zhai ordered the guards who surrounded them to pretend to send them to the original carriage, and he took Chu Chu from another inconspicuous place. the direction of the horse.

Gu Zhai's war horse is a Zhaoye Jade Lion. This kind of horse is produced in the Western Regions. It is the best among horses. Its body is snow-white. It is said that it can travel thousands of miles a day. When riding on the horse, Chu Chu couldn't help but recall his old mount. A bright red rabbit, known as the "Sweaty BMW", was his treasure in the previous life, and he was very spiritual. After his death, he has gone to nowhere now. Maybe he can find a time to see if he can take it. call back.

As soon as Gu Zhai clamped the horse's belly, the little white horse galloped with its hooves, slamming east and west, disturbing the villain who was hiding in the dark and shooting arrows, and was able to get them out of trouble.Gu Zhai held the reins of the white horse, he didn't intend to return to the post house, he went directly outside the city, probably because he was afraid that there would be an ambush at the post house.

Not far from Panning City, there was a rare valley with a stream passing by, and the water and grass were lush. He tied up the horse and put down Chu Chu to apply medicine to him.

"The Kingdom of Ling has just surrendered, and you are the main recruiter. There will always be someone who will not let you go and take you out of the city for a drive. We will go back later. When their plan fails, we can catch them all." Gu Zhai said.

"The general's approach is appropriate." Chu Chu echoed, after he had exhausted his hatred on the tower, he didn't want to be a living target, so Gu Zhai had a conscience and didn't let him die regardless.

The atmosphere unknowingly became awkward, Gu Zhai went to the river to get a pot of water for Chu Chu, "Don't you want to ask something?"

"What should I ask?" Chu Chu looked at him suspiciously.

"For example, why did I bring you here or why did I know there was such a place." Gu Zhai said.

"I thought you found a random place..." Chu Chu found a place and sat down.

Gu Zhai was helpless, this young master Chu really couldn't reason normally, he just said: "In the past, I fought against the great general of Ling Kingdom many times outside of Panning, and when I couldn't attack for a long time, I often Riding around on horseback to explore the terrain around Panning, I want to find an excellent siege point. I almost know this area by heart. I accidentally discovered this place during my investigation. Even the famous General Weng Shu didn't know about Panning. There is such a place with lush water and grass outside the city."

Chu Chu thought in his heart, he really didn't know that there was such a place outside Panning City. In fact, he had never been out of Panning City in the past five years except for fighting against Gu Zhai. As the defenders of the city, they had more energy They are all focused on how to defend the city, and they will never go out of the city to wander around by themselves, as the danger is too high, and once they are caught by the enemy, they will become hostages.

Chu Chu said: "This place is really good. I only think that the further you go north, the more violent the wind and sand will be. Most of the cities in Ling Kingdom today are surrounded by yellow sand. There are very few places with such lush water and grass. The streams here It is clear, the canyon is winding and winding, and there is a lot of vegetation."

Gu Zhai took a deep look at Chu Chu, "I didn't expect Mr. Chu to know so much about the customs of the Ling Kingdom." He took his bow and arrow from the horse and went to the bushes. Chu Chu probably knew this person. Whatever he wanted to do, he got up and picked up some dead branches.

It didn't take long for Gu Zhai to come back with a hare in his arms. When he saw the simple "stove", even he himself didn't notice the corners of his mouth raised.

After building a "dry heap" full of dead branches, the two lit a fire and roasted the hare on the spot. The small flames were flying, and the hare was being roasted on the fire, watched by Gu Zhai. Skillfully peeled off the rabbit fur with the dagger in his hand, and made several cuts on the rabbit meat.

Chu Chu hadn't eaten such primitive roasted rabbit meat for a long time, his heart was relaxed, and he felt very comfortable. After eating the rabbit legs that Gu Zhai handed over, he smacked his lips, thinking that it should be courteous. Without the power to restrain chickens, some things can still be done.

He took a few arrows from Gu Zhai's quiver, bundled them into a circle, and went to the stream. He searched for the stream, one fork at a time, and he also caught three fish. Drawing a bow and archery, mastering the skills, the fish can hardly let go.

Gu Zhai sat where he was, applauding secretly, and didn't think for a moment why the son of a family in Shangjing was also very proficient in these things.

The two handled the fish briefly, and put it on the fire to continue roasting for a while.

"I didn't expect to be able to eat grilled fish today thanks to Mr. Chu." Gu Zhai seemed very happy.

"It's also the good arrow technique of General Entrusting, which made me lucky to eat this rabbit meat." Chu Chu said.

The two ate and cleaned up, cleaned up the leftovers together, and went back to Panning City on Mayuan Road.

At this time, in the posthouse in Panning City, a well-planned assassination storm had just subsided. Just as Gu Zhai planned, when the two arrived at the posthouse, all the assassins had already been executed. Both Chai Lian and Chai Lian didn't dare to say much, so they just waited outside the post house for them to come back.

The author has something to say: [1] From Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower": "If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler."
