Peach Fortune Ring

"This...?" Shen Du's eyes flashed with hesitation.

The middle-aged scribe turned cold: "Brother Shen, what are you still hesitating about? Now that the Qi State has been destroyed, there is only an isolated city next to it, and there are less than a thousand soldiers and horses. If you surrender to our Zhao State now, you will be regarded as a meritorious minister, otherwise , When my Zhao army arrives, let me ask, brother Shen, what will you use to resist? Just rely on your thousand soldiers? By then, you will be a prisoner!"

Hearing Tu Xiu's threats and lures, Shen Du's eyes became more struggling.

At this moment, a personal attendant came to report: "City Lord, there is a man outside the city who claims to be General Yangwu escorted His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess here, and let you go out of the city to pick them up!"

Hearing the words of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess, the eyes of the middle-aged scholar could not help but brighten up: "Brother Shen, your chance to make great contributions has come. If you surrender with the head of the Crown Prince of Qi, my king will definitely be happy with his heart. It is definitely not a problem to become a noble!"

"This is absolutely impossible, then I will become a sinner of Qi!" Shen Du repeatedly waved his hands.

"Humph!"

Tu Xiu snorted dissatisfiedly: "Shen Du, don't toast or eat fine wine. Now, Qi State has not perished. Where did Qi State come from? I'm not afraid to tell you that our Zhao State army is only a hundred miles away from here, at most two You will be able to come to the city in one day, and at that time, you will have no chance to surrender, and as the city lord, your life will be lost, and your head will be cut off as a military exploit!" At this point, Tu Xiu's tone has become extremely severe: "I'll ask you again, are you cooperating with me in taking down the prince of Qi and surrendering to him, or are you going to resist? Don't forget, your whole family is in the city. When the army enters the city, your family will also become swordsmen." As for the residents of this city, I am afraid that they will also suffer from the disaster of soldiers and horses, do you really have the heart to see your family and your citizens die innocently!"

Tu Xiu's words made Shen Du sweat profusely, his face pale.

His family and the residents of the city flashed through his mind, and he finally nodded and bowed to Tu Xiu: "Thank you, Brother Tu, for reminding me, I wish to surrender to Zhao, but I have a request, can you spare the prince's life? "

"Forget it! The Crown Prince of Qi will not kill him for the time being, and leave it to the king!" This time, Tu Xiu readily agreed, with a hint of complacency flashing across his lips.

outside the city.

Song Yan and his party are waiting for Shen Du to pick him up.

Only half an hour has passed, and Shendu is still in the future.

Suddenly, Song Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he sensed a large number of people approaching the city gate, and opened his clairvoyant eyes, and found no less than a thousand soldiers gathered behind the city gate.

He is extremely wise, and after a little thought, he guessed that the city lord Shen Du should have turned his back on him, and he ambushed his men behind the city gate, probably planning to catch a turtle in a urn.

For a moment, his heart sank slightly, but he decided to wait and see what happened temporarily. Although there were many thousand soldiers, he wanted to leave, but he couldn't stop him.

Besides, Linbian City is the only city in Qi State, how can it just go away?

"Crench!"

The two city gates opened, and a pair of men and horses walked out of the city quickly, led by Shen Du.

"Xiaguan Shendu came late to pick up the driver, and please His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess Princess to make amends!"

With a plop, Shen Du led the crowd to kneel in front of the carriage.

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the immature face of Prince Jiang Dan, he raised his small hand in mid-air, and said to Shen Du, "Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" Shen Du stood up and saw Jiang Dan and Yuhu in the carriage, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by hardness.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has ordered people to prepare the house, and respectfully invites His Highness to enter the city to rest."

"Lord Shen, thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Dan lowered the curtain of the car again.

"Escort the prince into the city!"

Meng Bozhao gave an order, and more than 50 soldiers escorted the carriage to the city, while Tu Xiu, who was standing next to Shen Du, raised his mouth slightly, looking extremely proud.

Chapter 272 It's better to do it if you can't talk

When the team had just passed through the city gate passage, the two city gates were suddenly closed.

Faintly, Meng Bozhao also felt a little ominous, and unconsciously put his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

Just as the team drove out of the city gate passage, thousands of soldiers ambushed around and swarmed out, surrounding the entire team with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Immediately, Meng Bozhao's face changed drastically, and he shouted towards Shen Du who was outside the encirclement: "Shen Du, what are you doing? Do you want to commit the next crime?"

Facing Meng Bozhao's scolding, Shen Du didn't dare to look him in the eye, a look of shame flashed across his face, and Tu Xiu's voice rang in his ears at the right time: "Brother Shen, the opportunity to make great contributions is right in front of you, and you are still hesitating what?"

Hearing this, Shen Du's eyes flashed a gloomy and cold look, he was no longer afraid of Meng Bozhao's eyes, and said loudly: "Meng Bozhao, you are so courageous, even if you hold His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess hostage, all the soldiers obey the order and take Meng Bozhao down for me!" Rebel!"

Meng Bozhao was taken aback for a moment, and then he became furious: "Meng Bozhao, you are talking nonsense. This general was ordered by the late king to escort His Highness the Crown Prince and Highness Princess here. Why do you say it is abducted?"

Shen Du's face was full of coldness: "When you are about to die, you dare to quibble! I advise you to get off your horse and surrender to save your life, otherwise, my soldiers will kill you on the spot!"

For a moment, Meng Bozhao was so angry that he trembled all over, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a groan, pointed at Shen Du and said, "The traitor Shen Du, this general must kill you today!"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Bozhao ordered the horses under him to rush out with swords, and more than a dozen of the 52 soldiers stayed behind to protect the carriage, and the rest followed Meng Bozhao to kill.

Meng Bozhao was worthy of being a fierce general, he kept slashing out with the sword in his hand, his moves were simple and fierce, killing people was like cutting vegetables and melons, seven or eight people died under his sword in a short time.

It's a pity that this place is not open, which affects the horse's speed, and there are too many people on Shendu's side, so his speed quickly slowed down, and he fell into a quagmire. Fortunately, Meng Bozhao is strong and brave, and these soldiers can't do anything for a while he.

However, the soldiers who rushed out after him were not so lucky. There were more than 30 people, and seven or eight of them had been stabbed to death by spears and fell off their horses.

Seeing this scene, Song Yan felt a trace of cruelty in this world.

"The first person to take down the head of this thief, Meng Bozhao, will be rewarded with ten gold!" Shen Du outside the battlefield suddenly shouted.

The so-called gold in this world is not a piece of gold, but a gold cake made of gold and copper according to a certain ratio. A gold cake weighs six taels a catty, and the purchasing power of a gold cake is still very strong.

Therefore, ten gold is definitely a huge fortune for ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, as soon as Shen Du's words fell, the soldiers attacking Meng Bozhao suddenly became extremely fierce and desperate.

Facing this group of desperate soldiers, although Meng Bozhao was powerful, he still felt quite exhausted. After beheading several more people, he also suffered two wounds.

"Young Master Song, save General Meng quickly!"

The car curtain was lifted, revealing Princess Yuhu's delicate face full of worry and panic.

As for Prince Jiang Dan, he was just a seven or eight-year-old brat, so frightened by such an accident, he was already huddled into a ball in the carriage.

"What's so difficult about this?"

Song Yan smiled slightly, and suddenly flew out from the horse, with dozens of silver lights flying out of his hands.

"Puff puff!"

Every bit of silver light is invincible, easily piercing through the eyebrows of a soldier.

In an instant, there was a space around Meng Bozhao.

"General Meng hold on for a while longer!"

Song Yan called out to Meng Bozhao, his body flickered like a floating light, and he covered a distance of tens of meters, and landed in front of Shen Du and Tu Xiu with a whoosh.

"not good!"

Both Shen Du and Tu Xiu's expressions changed, and the followers behind them also reacted very quickly, they all drew out their weapons and slashed at Song Yan, intending to chop him into meat paste.
