Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

At dawn, the convoy sent by He Congjing arrived at Muyu Restaurant.Someone said that He Congjing was inspecting military affairs in the army today, and the last round of negotiations was also held in the barracks.Ding Ximing had no doubts, but I was thinking about what Zheng Zhao said. Zheng Zhao spoke hesitatingly and vaguely, just telling me to be careful.The powerful faction in Wuyang City's current army is known as the Seven Heavenly Generals. Four of the Seven Heavenly Generals are the remnants of the original Republican Army. Only Ding Henry, Fang Ruoshui, and another young general named He Butian belong to He Congjing's subordinates.He Butian is another distant nephew of He Congjing, and one of the two most trusted generals among the Seven Heavenly Generals.Four of the Seven Heavenly Generals objected to joining forces with the Empire. The biggest reason was that the Imperial Army had no fighting power and was not a match for the Snakeman at all. Joining forces with the Imperial Army would only cause harm but no benefit.The last difficulty Zheng Zhao mentioned probably refers to the opposition in the army.It's just that unlike civilian officials, generals in the army cannot be subdued by words alone, and they are likely to challenge me.In the previous war of words, I couldn't do anything, but today I can win the opponent not only with words.In today's negotiation, maybe my role will be greater than that of Ding Ximing.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he saw He Congjing sitting there with a few people on a large platform set up in front of the training ground holding a big parasol.Ding Ximing looked around and said to me in a low voice, "General Chu, why did City Lord He come here to negotiate?" It's open-air here, and the training ground is bare, with few trees, so it's naturally uncomfortable. I whispered, "Master Ding, he wants to see our strength." The army of Wuyang City is very neat, and it seems that the combat effectiveness is not bad in both land and water.But after the review, all the generals came forward to pay their respects, and He Congjing gave him a seat, it seemed that there was no chance for them to come up to challenge.Until He Congjing ordered the printing officer to come and hand over a written silk script to Ding Ximing, no one still wanted to challenge me.

Is Zheng Zhao lying to me?Zheng Zhao was vague, maybe this is not the crisis he was talking about?I have doubts.Zheng Zhao still didn't show up today, if he was in front of me, maybe I would grab him and ask him what happened. At this time, Ding Ximing had finished reading the silk script He Congjing handed over, stamped his handprint on it, stamped it, and returned it to He Congjing.The silk script was in duplicate, and after they exchanged each other, Ding Ximing let out a long breath.After crossing the wind and waves and traveling on the sea for so many days, I know that today is the day when I am done.He stood up, bowed to He Cong Jingshen, and said: "City Lord He understands righteousness deeply, and is indeed the pillar of the country. The officials admire him very much."

He Congjing also stood up, and said with a smile: "Master Ding is serious. Although Congjing is in the southern border, but the national crisis is at the head of the line, he should let go of his previous suspicions. Please rest assured, Master Ding. When our two armies are united, monsters are definitely nothing. .” He smiled very modestly and magnanimously, and Ding Ximing also smiled and said: "City Lord He is really a hero in the world. With the help of City Lord He, the monsters have nothing to worry about." Just looking at the smiles of the two of them, my heart burst Chills.Although Ding Ximing didn't know that He Congjing had the idea of ​​joining forces with the Japanese, he certainly would not believe that He Congjing really assisted the empire unreservedly, and He Congjing made no secret of his wariness towards the empire.It's just that at this moment, the two of them were chatting and laughing happily, as if they were saying these things that they didn't believe. Maybe even politicians are not trustworthy, right?

Similarly, Marquis Wen can't trust him too much.I couldn't help but think of Lu Jingyu's words again. After changing the paperwork, nothing happened. Lin Yimu from Yuanren Division sent us back to Muyu Hall to prepare for the return trip. He Congjing did a good job of saving face. Since Ding Ximing and below, each of us has a copy of Cheng Yi, Ding Ximing Mine is a little smaller than Ding Ximing's, but it is not too thin. The other soldiers have a gift according to their official position, and they all smile, thinking that this trip is not in vain.Looking at their smiles, I secretly smiled bitterly.They don't know what happened yesterday. In fact, all of our lives are at the gate of hell. If Mr. Hai suggested that He Congjing join hands with the Japanese, we might all die in our sleep.

The negotiation went so smoothly, and we were eager to return home. We just wanted to set off early and pack up and prepare to board the ship as soon as we got back to Muyu Restaurant.Today's unexpected success made everyone inexplicably excited, Ding Ximing was even more triumphant and directed Ma Tianwu to do it.I don't have anything, the most precious thing is probably the sea rhinoceros armor that Pu Shifang gave me.The sea rhino armor is worn close to the body, and other things can be taken away in a package.When I went upstairs to sort out some old clothes, I suddenly remembered that Chunyan and I had spent two days in the same room.Although he knew that she must be He Congjing's eyes and ears, he was not annoyed at her, but felt a little at a loss.After this farewell, we will never see her again, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, someone downstairs said, "Our leader is sorting things out upstairs. What's the matter?" It was Qian Wenyi's voice.My heart skipped a beat, thinking: "Could it be Chunyan?" But immediately I couldn't help but laugh again.Chunyan can't just come out, it's more likely to be Baiwei.I didn't go according to plan last night, maybe she came to ask me what happened. I went downstairs and said, "Brother Qian, who is looking for me?" When I saw the person coming, I couldn't help but startled.This man was blond and blue-eyed, but it was Henry Ding.He was wearing casual clothes, and he was even more chic. When he saw me coming down, he put his feet together, gave a military salute with a "snap", and said, "General Chu, it's just a farewell. I don't know when we will meet again. I have held a small banquet for the general. Farewell, I don't know if it will be rewarded?"

I said: "General Ding's kindness, the young general dare not refuse. Respect is worse than obedience, thank you General Ding." Henry Ding smiled and said, "It's in Zuiyue Tower, General Chu, please follow me." The Zuiyue Tower is a small restaurant near Muyu Restaurant. He didn't call anyone else. Probably, although Ding Henry is trusted by He Congjing, his salary is not too high. In small restaurants like Yuelou.I also smiled, and was about to speak, when someone suddenly said: "General Ding, the villain wants to bother you too, I wonder if it's okay?"

I said: "Tang Kai, you can come with me, wait for me downstairs, I will be back immediately after I say goodbye to General Ding. General Ding, please forgive me, I really have to go back, I am very busy. " Henry Ding was startled.I laughed secretly in my heart, he wouldn't let Tang Kai sit, I agreed, but he couldn't refuse to let Tang Kai wait downstairs.Although I don't think Henry Ding has a reason to kill me, at least he must be on guard. Ding Henry said: "It's just that, in this case, wouldn't it be too rude to General Tang?" I said: "General Tang and I are close relatives, so it's no big deal. General Ding, let's go."

Now that it was me urging him, Henry Ding couldn't say anything more, and said, "Okay, General Chu, my car is outside." I said: "It's just across the street, let's go. Tang Kai, let's go." He Congjing's carriage that can hide people under the carriage made me terrified. Although the negotiation has been successfully concluded, I am still a little afraid that this may still be a trap. It is better not to ride in a carriage or the like. Thinking of the carriage, he suddenly thought of Ming Shizhen.Fortunately, I met Ming Shizhen yesterday, but is Ming Shizhen really, as he said, the traitor of Marquis Wen?I felt something was wrong in my heart.

He Congjing has Zheng Zhao by his side, and Ming Shizhen, as a hidden stake, must not be able to hide it from Zheng Zhao.I thought of this point yesterday, but yesterday I suspected that Ming Shizhen was lying to me. Now that I think about it, he asked me to listen to the secret conversation between He Congjing and Hai Lao. I didn't know my origin until I saw my Baipi knife.However, if he is really an internal response sent by Marquis Wen, it is impossible for Zheng Zhao not to find out. What exactly is going on?My head was a mess.If you think about it carefully, there are only two possibilities in total, yes or no.If Ming Shizhen is an internal response, it is impossible for Zheng Zhao not to find out, then it is only possible that he was found out and kept him on purpose, using countermeasures.But why would He Congjing be so bold as to take Ming Shizhen to Hailao's place alone? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shiver.wrong!It is impossible for He Congjing to be so careless.He only took Ming Shizhen to Hai Lao's place alone, which can only prove one thing, he absolutely believes in Ming Shizhen, then Ming Shizhen is lying to me, he is not Wenhou's traitor! But when I think about it, there are still some things that don't make sense.Still the same sentence, why did Ming Shizhen let me in to eavesdrop on the secret conversation between He Congjing and Hailao?In the end, Hai Lao suggested to join forces with the empire, and nothing happened today.But if Mr. Hai suggested joining forces with the Japanese, but I heard the news, wouldn't it be a leak?Thinking about it this way, Ming Shizhen's identity became blurred again.What kind of person is he, and what does he want to do? "General Chu, we're here." Henry Ding interrupted my train of thought.I raised my head, and at this time I was in front of the Zuiyue Building, Henry Ding stood at the door, stepped aside for me, and said, "General Chu, I really want to hold you up, it's very poor, I'm here to bid you farewell, the box is upstairs. " I didn't want to think about Ming Shizhen any more, so I smiled and said, "Very good." I turned to Tang Kai and said, "Brother Tang, wait for me upstairs, order some dishes, and you can eat downstairs." , I'll pay the bill later." Ding Henry laughed and said: "General Chu's words are off the mark. It's very embarrassing to let General Tang wait below, how can I call you bad money again." He said to the waiter: "Shopkeeper, this Whatever the guest officer used, I will charge it to my account later." After speaking, he said to me: "General Chu, come, let's go upstairs." I let out a sigh.Henry Ding is amiable, but An knows if he hides a knife in his smile, Zheng Zhao said there is another crisis, will he refer to this?Now that we have come here, naturally there is no reason to back down, let's take a step forward.I have made up my mind that, no matter what, I must be careful not to make mistakes. Although Zuiyue Tower is small, the business is good, there are people upstairs and downstairs.Henry Ding led me forward, reached a box, opened the door and said, "Brothers, I have invited General Chu." There were already six or seven people inside, and as soon as I entered the door, they all stood up.I saw Fang Ruoshui at a glance, they were all wearing casual clothes, but the hostility in Fang Ruoshui's eyes still did not go away.Henry Ding led me to the seat and said, "General Chu, let me introduce you to some friends. The one next to you is Brother He Butian, the one sitting next to him is Brother Mo Dengfu, and next to him is Brother Wei Rentu. Sitting across from you is Brother Yu Jinyu, next to him is Brother Ba Wenyanba, and next to me is Brother Fang Ruoshui." I don't have much impression of the other ones. When I heard the word "He Butian", I was faintly surprised.Zheng Zhao mentioned that He Butian, like He Zhong, is He Congjing's nephew and nephew, and he is also the second general in Wuyang City after Ding Henry.I bowed my hands to them, and said: "I have been admiring you for a long time. You are probably soldiers, right?" Henry Ding smiled slightly, and said: "Thanks to the love of seniors, the seven of us have inherited the title of Seven Generals under Duke Cang Yue, also known as Seven Heavenly Generals." Sure enough, it came.I secretly groaned in my heart.However, they will not be violent at the banquet. The place is so small that the eight of us can almost fill up a small box.I said: "It turns out that you are all the pillars of Wuyang City. In the future, we will cooperate with the two armies. I hope you will take care of us and support us." He Butian said: "Brother Chu, you are being polite. Brother Chu is extraordinary. Brother Ding is full of praise for Brother Chu, saying that you will be a famous general in the world in the future, and I hope that Brother Chu will take care of and support us in the future." He said it very tactfully, I can't say anything more, I just smiled slightly and said: "General Ding's praise, I'm just an unknown general, it's really not worthy of my words." He Butian said: "Although I have never seen Brother Chu's marksmanship, but Brother Ding said that his marksmanship is no match for Brother Chu, so Brother Chu must be a rare hero, haha." Speaking of this, I can also hear the irony in his words. It seems that Henry Ding's wine is not good to drink.I've made up my mind, anyway, I'm leaving soon, I don't care what they say, and I've made up my mind, as long as I don't get angry.I picked up the cup and said: "General He's words really make me ashamed. General Ding's spear skills are superb. I competed with General Ding that day. I was no match at all. General He should not listen to General Ding's overly modest words." Henry Ding also stood up at this time, and said: "Come on, come on, let's chat slowly, General Chu is about to embark on the return journey, let's toast him and wish him a smooth journey." When he said this, He Buyian stopped being sarcastic, everyone raised their cups and toasted me, I saluted together, drank the wine in the cup, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I am very grateful, I have nothing to show for it, let me show my respect first." Whether they have good intentions or not, it is really impossible to say now, and there is no need to worry about them. After drinking the glass of wine, Henry Ding frowned and said, "Why isn't the food here yet?" He said to me, "General Chu, sit down for a while, I'll go and urge them." After that, he went out. As soon as Henry Ding went out, He Buyian suddenly said: "Brother Chu, there is something like a bone stuck in He's throat, he can't vomit quickly, I wonder if he can say it." Probably he wanted to sneer again, so I said: "General He, please tell me." This He Butian is also He Congjing's nephew, and He Zhong is naturally a brother, but his temperament is quite different from He Zhong.He Zhong is the "hermit" among the three warriors in Wuyang City. He had endured under Lu Jingyu's command for many years, and no one could see his details. up. He Butian said: "I heard an old man say something in the old days, called 'good birds choose trees to live in'. I wonder if General Chu has heard of it?" My heart skipped a beat, and I said, "Of course, I've heard that too." He Butian said: "Brother Chu is versatile in both civil and military affairs. I admire you very much. This means that a good bird should have the wisdom to choose a tree to live in, not a tree to choose a bird. Brother Chu is a good general today, why do you turn against him?" Not as good as a good bird?" My heart turned over and over again.He smiled and said: "General He's words are wrong. I also heard a sentence from the ancients, which is'a gentleman never abandons his parents' state." Learn." A cold light flashed in He Buyian's eyes, and Fang Ruoshui on the other side suddenly shouted: "Chu Xiuhong, the emperor of your empire extorts tyrannically, is licentious and has no morals, are you still obsessed with it?" I also felt angry in my heart, and said, "Brother Fang seems to force me to stay in Wuyang City?" Fang Ruoshui said: "I can't talk about forced words, General Chu, but I can't get used to people who don't understand current affairs." I sneered, and said: "Brother Fang is serious. Not only is Chu ignorant of current affairs, but he is also smelly and stubborn. Even though Wuyang City is good in every way, the empire is the country of my parents, and the people of the empire are my father and fellow countrymen. Chu is not talented, but he is unwilling to give up." Even though I said that, my heart hurts a little.What Fang Ruoshui said is not false, the emperor is indeed a lewd and immoral person, but I owe so much to the princess, and she is also in the empire, so I can't stay in Wuyang City no matter what.Only then did I know what the last difficulty Zheng Zhao was talking about was not a matter of negotiation, but my personal difficulty. Who on earth sent them here?The seven-day general himself is definitely not that bold, and dared to make up his own mind to keep me, so why did he fall in love with me? I am also a little dumbfounded.They wanted to win me over, but they didn't expect to use such a strong method, because I am not a tough person.Fortunately, I'm about to board the ship and go back. Unless He Congjing doesn't want to fulfill the contract he just signed, they won't do anything to me. When I said this, He Butian laughed and said: "General Chu, our Republican Army puts people first, takes the people first, obeys the destiny, and is supported by all people, while the empire is a family and is arbitrary. For the livelihood of the people in the world, Chu Is the general unwilling to change his mind?" I took a deep breath and said: "The empire is indeed arbitrarily domineering, but the people of insight in the empire have seen this disease and are constantly improving. Just as parents suffer from serious illness, how can children and grandchildren abandon their parents and join others? Reason? I am working for the common people in the world, and I would also like to stay in the empire and do my part." He Butian shook his head and said, "Pedantry. But, General Chu, since you are so obsessed with obsession, it really makes us sad." I stood up and said: "General He, you are the closest relative of City Lord He, I dare not be rude. But since there is a disagreement, there is no need to say more, I will leave." I turned around and was about to go out, when the two on the left and the right suddenly stood up and quickly blocked behind me. They were Fang Ruoshui and Ba Wenyan.Fang Ruoshui sneered, "General Chu, it's really rude of you to run away from the table like this." I said, "General Fang, do you really want to fight me?" Fang Ruoshui chuckled, and said, "To tell you the truth, I am ordered to keep General Chu." I said angrily: "It's unreasonable! The two countries are fighting each other, and they still don't kill each other. If you do this, aren't you afraid of ruining the important thing of the city master?" He Butian suddenly said: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to small details. General Chu, if you want to blame you, you can blame your ability for being too good. Some people are afraid that you will become a trouble in the future." What is the scene?Although his words showed malice, I was still a little proud.I didn't expect He Congjing to think so highly of me.I touched the Baipi knife on my waist, took a deep breath, and said: "Everyone, I am just an incompetent person, I am afraid that it is difficult to be so wrongly loved, but I am not a person who can bend his knees." A murderous look flashed across He Buyian's eyes, and he stood up.Among the Seven Heavenly Generals, I have only fought against Henry Ding. In terms of marksmanship, I can't beat Henry Ding by much. Although these six people are not as good as Henry Ding, they must be much stronger than me.I didn't believe that they would really do anything to me, but when I saw He Butian like this, I felt a chill in my heart, and I couldn't help but regret that I shouldn't have spoken too harshly. He Buyian was about to say something, when suddenly a person screamed outside the door, and Tang Kai shouted: "General Chu, are you okay?" We yelled a few words in the room, Tang Kai must have heard something wrong downstairs.He was also a little too impulsive. I just wanted to say that I was fine, but there was a "bang" on the door, and a hole was opened. One hand came in and pulled the door open. It was Tang Kai standing outside the door.He pressed the knife with one hand, and clasped the thumb of his left hand in the palm of his hand, just like Zhan Tie Fist.When he opened the door and saw me standing upright, he was startled and said, "Commander, are you alright?" I said: "It's okay. Tang Kai, let's go." As I spoke, I bowed my hands to them, and said: "Everyone, the way is different, and we will not conspire with each other. I will leave." Although I said the words, I felt uneasy in my heart , I am really not sure whether they dare to do it. At this time, Henry Ding's voice suddenly came from the corridor outside: "Brother Chu, what happened?" His face was full of astonishment, he probably didn't expect that He Buyian and I would break up so soon.I said: "Brother Ding, I'm about to say goodbye, I accept it kindly." Henry Ding took my hand and said, "Don't worry, come, come, talk to me." When he took my hand, his heart was wide open. If he really wanted to make a move, I could kill him with my sword, and he had no power to fight back.Seeing that he was so frank, I was a little hesitant. At this time, Henry Ding said to He Butian, "Brother He, please go downstairs and wait for me first, I'm afraid Brother Chu may have misunderstood us." I only thought that He Butian would always refute, but he just nodded and said to others: "Let's go out." After saying that, he walked out proudly.In the blink of an eye, the originally crowded room was empty.Tang Kai was still standing at the door, neither coming in nor going out, with his left hand still on the handle of the knife. Henry Ding sat down and said, "Brother Chu, what happened?" He spoke very softly, and it was not easy for me to lose my temper with him, and said, "Brother Ding, just now Brother He wanted me to stay in Wuyang City, or I would do something. Is this the way of hospitality in Wuyang City? Fresh." Ding Henry seemed to ignore the sarcasm in my words, pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Chu, although we are new friends, we hit it off right away. I have something I want to ask you, and please tell me frankly, brother Chu. ?” I said, "Please tell me." "Brother Chu, which do you think is better for the people, the republic or the monarchy?" I didn't expect him to ask such a big question. I was stunned and sighed: "If I insist on saying that the people of the empire are happier, that would be a lie. Although I haven't traveled much to Wuyang City, what I saw in my eyes is People live and work in peace and contentment, which is more peaceful than the imperial capital." Henry Ding was also stunned, with a smile on his face: "General Chu really has a big heart and a high vision. Then, compared with the emperor, which one is more loved by the people?" This is a bit difficult to answer.I thought for a while, and said: "The Emperor is admired by all the people, and he is the lord of the world. The Lord He is also open-minded and loved by the city people. However, to me, the Emperor is my lord, and the Lord He is just the lord of the friendly army. " Ding Henry said: "Of course, Brother Chu is not easy to answer. But, in all fairness, if you could choose, would you rather live in the imperial capital or in Wuyang City?" I said, "Brother Ding is open and honest, and I won't hide it from you. If I could choose, I might be willing to stay in Wuyang City." I saw what Henry Ding wanted to say, and continued before he could speak, "Just, Brother Ding, some things are not humane, I have no choice, I was born in the empire." Ding Henry said: "Why don't you have a choice? The road depends on people. Which road to take is all up to you. Brother Chu, with your talents, staying in Wuyang City will be able to contribute more to the people of the world." I sighed and said, "Maybe. It's just that I'm not alone on this road, and I can only go down with them." Ding Henry said: "If the road you are taking is just a road of no return, will you hit a wall one day?" I can no longer answer this question.I naturally understand what Ding Henry said, and in my heart, I also feel that the imperial system should be greatly changed, just like what the princess told me back then, even if the republic is a prescription for healing the empire, it is not the only medicine.I said: "If you want to hit a wall, then I will break through the wall and open a broad road!" Henry Ding smiled slightly and said, "But if that's the case, why didn't you walk on the Kangzhuang Avenue earlier?" I said, "General Ding, do you think the Republic is a broad road?" Ding Henry said: "The so-called republic means that the people of the world rule the world together. The leader is a leader who lives with virtue and retreats if he has no virtue. Everything is based on the people. How can it not be called a broad road?" I sighed, and said: "Everything is reasonable in theory, but it is not the case in practice. General Ding, the Republican Army said that people are the first, and the people are the first. When they were besieged in Gaojiu City, in order to relieve In the suffering of starvation, don’t you kill people for food? When Cang Yuegong was in power, he broke the stone and tiger city, and buried 20,000 imperial defenders alive. General Ding, the sun and the moon are selfless, shining everywhere, not just Those who oppose me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. People who are not me will not be respected, and people who are not me will not be the foundation. In the final analysis, this is actually empty talk, but it is just to win over people's opinions in order to realize their ambitions." By the end, I was already a little angry.Although I also feel that the two words of "putting people first and people first" that the Republican Army is talking about are not wrong, but how well the Republican Army is doing is another matter.In my opinion, whether it is the Empire or the Republican Army, it is actually the same, but the words are different. Saying this, I also feel a little heavy, and I can't help but feel a little regretful.At least Henry Ding hasn't broken his face with me. If these words annoy him, I won't have any good fruit to eat.But having said that, what can I do?But looking at Ding Henry's appearance, there was a little more confusion in his eyes, and he didn't seem to be angry.I was waiting for him to refute me, but after thinking for a long time, he suddenly sighed and said, "Maybe what you said is right." I didn't expect him to say that, but I didn't know how to proceed.At this time, someone outside the door shouted: "Oh, what happened? The door is broken! It was the waiter who came up with the food. He must have seen the door broken by Tang Kai, who was standing straight at the door." , bewildered." When he put down the dishes and went out again, Henry Ding said, "Brother Chu, I just want to ask you, do you really want to stay in Wuyang City?" I said: "I don't want to." Having said this, I have already raised my heart in the air, preparing for the worst.But he didn't say anything else, he was just meditating, and suddenly he seemed to have made up his mind, poured two more glasses of wine, and gave one to me and said, "Brother Chu, finish this one." I picked up the cup, not knowing what he was going to say, and drank it down.Ding Henry took a cup to me and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you and I hit each other like friends because of fate. Now that we are allies, we should treat each other with sincerity, but if we become enemies in the future, I hope Brother Chu will not blame me." The negotiating document has just been signed. Although I know that Wuyang City will definitely turn against the empire one day, I didn't expect Henry Ding to speak so directly.I nodded and said, "As a soldier, this is also my duty. However, I still hope that we will never meet each other with swords." Henry Ding sighed, and said, "Why don't I have such thoughts, but sometimes I can't help myself." I looked at him, and he was also looking at me, with a more serious look in his eyes.I forced a smile and said: "Anyway, we are always friends today, let's invite those friends to come in together and have another drink." Henry Ding smiled and said, "No need, let's drink." He poured another glass as he spoke. Hearing his words, my heart rose again.What does Henry Ding mean by this?Is he determined?It's just that although his face is a little cloudy and uncertain, but his eyes are deep, and it's hard to see what he's thinking.I drank another glass, only to feel that the taste of the wine was hot and bitter. Henry Ding pointed to the dish and said, "Come on, General Chu, let's just say goodbye. I don't know when we will meet again. Eat more." Because I made up my mind, I also made up my mind.I still don't believe that Henry Ding will take me down here regardless of everything. I poured a glass of wine for Henry Ding and said, "Brother Ding, I would like to toast you too. Once Wuyang City officially starts war with the Snake People, your burden will be too heavy." Not light.” Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something, and said: “By the way, do you know that snake people have poor eyesight and can’t see far away?” As soon as I said it, I regretted it a little.It was Lao Hai who said this to me, Henry Ding didn't know why, I really said too much.Unexpectedly, as soon as I said it, I saw Ding Henry's face was full of shock, he put down his glass and said, "What? Is this true?" I nodded and said: "That's right. So the snake people's archery skills are not good, and most of them don't know how to use arrows. To fight with them, long-range weapons are the most effective. In close combat, the snake people are extremely powerful and difficult to deal with." .” Even though he said that, his heart was shocked.Henry Ding didn't even know about such an important matter. Could it be that Mr. Hai also wanted to hide it from the people in Wuyang City? At this time, there was chaos downstairs again.Hearing this voice, Henry Ding frowned. I was about to go out to have a look, but Tang Kai suddenly opened the door and said, "General Chu, that female general surnamed Duan is here." Bai Wei!I stood up suddenly and asked, "Why is she here?" Unexpectedly, I heard a woman downstairs screaming: "General Chu, General Chu, are you there?" It was the voice of Polygonum.I was very surprised, walked out the door and said, "Is it Miss Duan? Please come up." He Buyian looked up at us from downstairs, and when he looked at me, I felt hairy. His eyes were a bit gloomy, almost reminding me of a snake man.When Zi Liao saw Henry Ding, her face blushed, walked around He Butian and walked up quickly, saying: "Heng... General Ding, you are all right, as long as you are all right." Henry Ding smiled and said, "Why does Miss Duan think that something will happen to us? General Chu is going back, and we are seeing him off." Zi Liao opened her mouth, but turned to me and said, "General Chu, are you going back too?" I said, "Yes." Turning around to Henry Ding, he said, "General Ding, thank you for your hospitality. I'm going back too." Henry Ding said "ah" and said: "Come on, I'll take you downstairs." He said to Zi Liao again: "Miss Duan, you can walk with us too." The blush on Zi Polygonum's face deepened.We walked downstairs together, He Butian came up to meet him and said: "Brother..." Henry Ding interrupted him and said: "Brother He, I will send General Chu off, please reply to the city lord and say that General Chu has gone back. " He Butian glanced at me and Tang Kai, and suddenly said: "But, General Ding, could it be..." Henry Ding snorted, and said, "I'll take care of this. Brother He, you don't need to say anything." He walked outside, pointed to a carriage driveway, and said, "Take my car." Then he said to Ziliu: "Miss Duan, I'm really sorry, my car can only hold three people at most." Zi Liao said: "I'm done riding the horse, and I'm going to see off my elder brother too... No, it's my younger brother Chu." Speaking of this, she also remembered that the two sisters were actually a little older than me.I don't care whether I am the eldest brother or the younger brother, so I smiled and said, "No need, I'll go by myself." Henry Ding smiled slightly, and said, "Take my car. Although the people of Wuyang City live and work in peace and contentment, there are also many bandits who block the road and rob, so we must guard against it." There seemed to be another layer of meaning in what he said, and my heart skipped a beat, and I said, "Okay." Both Tang Kai and I got into his car.Sitting in the car, Henry Ding remained silent.When we got to the pier, we got out of the car, Henry Ding raised his head, waved to me, and said, "General Chu, take care." I also waved to him and watched his carriage leave.Tang Kai whispered in my ear: "Commander, why did he let you come back again? I think he really has bad intentions." What He Buyian and the others did must have been instigated by Henry Ding, so there is no doubt about it.But what surprised me was that he let me get away with it in the end, which is really weird.Tang Kai wanted to say something else, but suddenly said with interest: "Commander, I'll get on the boat first." After saying that, he walked to the boat. That's Polygonum Polygonum coming over.As soon as she came to me, she jumped off the horse and said, "General Chu, General Ding is gone?" I nodded and said, "Zi Liao, how is your sister?" A gloomy cloud flashed across Zi Liao's face, and she whispered: "She is locked up at home by her brother-in-law. General Chu, just now a concubine of the city lord sent someone to inform us that General Ding proposed to the city lord to keep you in the city. My sister said that you would definitely not agree, let me come and see you." It's Chunyan!There was a burst of excitement in my heart.Chunyan still helped me in the end, although she didn't expect Henry Ding to let me go in the end.From the beginning to the end, it seemed that Henry Ding was planning this matter. If I didn't want to stay, I'm afraid they really intended to kill me, but Henry Ding changed his mind later.I was thinking, Zi Liao suddenly handed me a small bag and said, "General Chu, this is what my sister asked me to give you." My heart moved, and I said, "What is it?" "The clothes my sister made are for you to wear on the road." She got on her horse and said, "General Chu, I'm leaving too, take care." Take care, too.I thought silently. Could it be that one day there will be a war between the Empire and Wuyang City?If there is such a day, maybe I will die at the hands of the snake man, which is the best ending for me.I was at a loss for a while, and I didn't know where I was for a while.
