please come back

The army marched forward for another five days. During these five days, Jiang Linyuan had been taken care of by people like He Fei who were also walking behind the team, feeding him water and food.Xia Heyu never gave orders to untie the rope on him, nor did he turn around at the end of the team. Only Zhang Ling would occasionally come to inspect, and when he saw Jiang Linyuan, he just nodded politely and didn't approach him.

It was noon on the sixth day when we arrived outside the city gate of Qingzhou, and the sun was very poisonous.Xia Heyu covered his forehead with one hand slightly to block the glare of the sun, and looked towards the gate of Qingzhou City.

The city gate was wide open, and there were no guards on the city wall, only the red and yellow flags hanging feebly. Standing outside the city gate at the front, the one who was still wearing a Chinese robe in summer was Bu Chengsi.Behind Bu Chengsi was a small group of soldiers in thick armor, carrying spears and lined up along the city gate.

Xia Heyu dismounted first, and Zhang Ling followed suit. The two led the horse, and followed the [-]-strong army towards Bu Chengsi.

Seeing the two generals approaching, Bu Chengsi hurriedly stepped forward to meet them, he was very polite, bowed deeply, and respectfully said: "General Xia, Deputy General Zhang."

"I'm afraid I can't be called a general anymore." Xia Heyu smiled wryly, "Grand Bu is so polite."

"Where is it, who doesn't know that Li Su's rootless child is now enjoying himself for a while, and sooner or later he will..."

Bu Chengsi stopped talking in the middle of what he said, Xia Heyu would agree, but he was thinking in his heart, Li Su has been dormant for many years, how could he be overthrown so easily.

"General Xia has been on the road for many days, and I'm afraid he's tired, so Qingzhou City is a temporary residence for all the soldiers." Bu Chengsi said, "Tonight I prepared thin wine at my house, which can be regarded as a cleansing for General Xia." Cheng Si wanted to mention Jiang Linyuan again, but Jiang Linyuan was nowhere to be seen.

"He's at the end of the line." Xia Heyu saw that Bu Chengsi was looking for someone in his eyes and said, "Bu Gong, untie the rope on him for me."

"Well, please, General Xia." Seeing that Xia Heyu had exposed what he wanted in his heart, Bu Chengsi no longer bothered to look for it. He lowered his eyebrows and invited Xia Heyu to enter Qingzhou City.

Xia Heyu nodded, and Zhang Ling and Zhang Ling walked in first, leading the horses, and the other soldiers followed into Qingzhou City.Bu Chengsi had been waiting outside the city, waiting for the mighty group of people to pass by, until he saw Jiang Linyuan at the end of the group.

"Mr. Jiang." Seeing Jiang Linyuan, Bu Chengsi walked a few steps towards him, and asked while trying to untie the rope, "Mr. Jiang, have you told General Xia?"

Jiang Linyuan took a step back and said, "What are you going to do?"

Bu Chengsi waved his hands helplessly and strode forward, grabbed the rope on Jiang Linyuan's body and said, "Hey, General Xia said that he wants me to untie it for you. You haven't answered me yet, Mr. Jiang, did you really say it or not?"

When Jiang Linyuan heard about it, he allowed Bu Chengsi to untie the rope on his body, and said: "I just said a part, what Bu Gong wants, I'm afraid you have to open your mouth to be sincere."

"Do you think he will agree?" Bu Chengsi untied the rope on Jiang Linyuan's body and twisted it into a strand in his hand, holding it in his palm.

Jiang Linyuan's body was no longer bound by a rope. After he untied it, he shook his body a few times before he got used to it. He turned his slightly painful right hand and said, "At this point, he can only agree."

"Then tonight, Mr. Jiang will speak for me." Bu Chengsi said after helping Jiang Linyuan while he was wandering around.

Jiang Linyuan just nodded, thinking in his heart that Xia Heyu hated him now, but for Bu Chengsi, it goes without saying that Jiang Linyuan followed Bu Chengsi into the city.

That night, a rich banquet was arranged in the Bu mansion. This wine was hidden by Bu Chengsi for a long time, but now it was brought out, and it was chilled again, very refreshing.There are also meat and vegetables on the banquet table, melons, fruits, vegetables and meat are fully placed, but there are only a few people at the table, and no one has an appetite for food.

Sitting opposite Xia Heyu was Jiang Linyuan. Jiang Linyuan didn't move his chopsticks and didn't look up. He just stared down at the corner of his clothes, as if there was a good show embroidered on the corner of his clothes.

Xia Heyu glanced at him and didn't bother to talk to him. He turned his head and asked Bu Chengsi straight to the point: "Why did Mr. Bu do all this? Qingzhou is a small city, why did you get involved in such a thing?"

Bu Chengsi wanted to speak slowly, but Xia Heyu asked first. He was so startled that he choked on a mouthful of wine, coughed a few times, and said, "Since General Xia asked, I'll just say it directly." .”

Bu Chengsi put down his wine glass, put his hands on his legs, and said solemnly: "As General Xia said, Qingzhou is a small city, so I want Yangzhou."

Xia Heyu smiled bitterly, looking at Jiang Linyuan out of the corner of his eye, but Jiang Linyuan was still in the same posture, not moving at all.

"No wonder you two get together, one of you wants to use my soldiers to capture Yangzhou, and the other wants to use my hands to kill Yang Pei, whether I owe Yang Pei or you. "

Hearing Xia Heyu's words, Bu Chengsi felt a little uncertain. He was afraid that Xia Heyu would directly occupy Qingzhou City with his [-] soldiers in a fit of anger.

Jiang Linyuan didn't care, and only then raised his eyelids, grabbed the wine glass on the table with his left hand, and brought it to his mouth to sip it.Xia Heyu looked at him with half-closed eyes, knowing that he must have something to say, and Bu Chengsi also stared at him, sweat dripping from his head in anxiety.

"But the general can only agree." Jiang Linyuan said: "Because the general is now a traitor to the court, if he doesn't kill people, he will be killed. Without soldiers and without cities, he will be no different from a beggar."

"Jiang Linyuan." Xia Heyu squeezed the wine glass with white knuckles, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "I may not only dig out your brain and feed it to the dogs, but also chop up your bones and meat and take them together." Feed the dog."

Bu Chengsi wiped the cold sweat off his head, knowing that this matter is considered a success, the next thing is to discuss how to attack Yangzhou.

Jiang Linyuan was not angry or afraid when he heard what Xia Heyu said, as long as Xia Heyu could help him kill Yang Pei, he would let him resolve his hatred after his death.

"Besides, don't worry, General Xia." Bu Chengsi said, heartbroken, "I've already sent someone to the capital to take care of it. In a while, old General Xia will be fine, and he won't suffer any crimes."

This matter was indeed a common concern between Xia and Yu. He also wrote letters and sent people to deal with it, but it happened suddenly and the journey was a bit long. Until now, there has been no reply.This was also one of Jiang Linyuan's regrets. He regretted that he didn't ask him to do this in the letter to Xia Heyu, and finally sent Xia Heyu's only relative to prison.

After hearing Bu Chengsi's words, Xia Heyu felt relieved a little, and cupped his hands to thank Bu Chengsi.

"Don't dare, dare not dare." Bu Chengsi hurriedly waved his hand to evade, after all, Jiang Linyuan told him to do it.

At this point in the banquet, there was nothing else to say, Xia Heyu drank two glasses of wine and got up to leave.Guo Hong has been waiting quietly at the door. Xia Heyu brought him out this time to do some chores.

"Young master." Guo Hong said: "The soldiers have settled down, and I have cleaned the young master's room."

"Yeah." Xia Heyu replied, looking very tired, "Don't call me young master anymore, in the barracks, just let them call me general." But after Xia Heyu said this, he wanted to laugh, As a general in charge, he has long been classified as a traitor to the court, and he is now a general of someone else.

Qingzhou was lonely and cold, Xia Heyu glanced in the direction of the capital, and followed Guo Hong back to the house.
