Wan Yanzhao knew something was wrong the moment he saw Zhao Pingzhen. When those soldiers turned a blind eye to Qin Xiaolou and slashed at him with their knives, he had no choice but to stab Qin Xiaolou to one of them. Push it up, turn around and jump into the river.The sword had no eyes, and there was only a sound of "snapping", and the sharp blade hit Qin Xiaolou's right shoulder. Even though the hand holding the knife had tried its best to retract, everyone still heard the sound of the blade colliding with the bone.

Zhao Pingzhen reacted very quickly. When everyone was still in a daze, he strode forward and hugged Qin Xiaolou into his arms, shouting: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and chase!" There were already three or five people who reacted quickly followed Wan Yanzhao jumped into the river, Zhao Pingzhen gave an order, and immediately another 30 people chased him from the bank and the water.

Zhao Pingzhen looked down at Qin Xiaolou, and saw that his lips were pale, his body was as thin as a stalk, and he couldn't stop shaking, and painful groans overflowed from his throat.From Zhao Pingzhen's perspective, one could clearly see the bones under the flesh and blood of the wound, and Qin Xiaolou's coat was soaked in blood from the chest up.Zhao Pingzhen frowned, quickly took off the felt coat, and a silk shirt, and quickly and skillfully wrapped Qin Xiaolou's wound tightly with it.

Wu Yi rushed forward and said, "Mingdong's injury should be sent back to the military doctor to see."

Zhao Pingzhen frowned again because of the name he blurted out to Qin Xiaolou, he hugged Qin Xiaolou and walked to the place where the horse was stationed, and said coldly: "You stay in charge of hunting down Yan Zhao, order 20 people Come back with me."

At this moment, Qin Xiaolou grabbed Zhao Pingzhen's arm with all his strength, shook his head with a pale face, and said word by word: "After releasing Yan Zhao, let him go back to the Kingdom of Jin."

Zhao Pingzhen stopped, and Wu Yi and the other soldiers who heard what he said were shocked.Seeing that Zhao Pingzhen didn't answer, Qin Xiaolou grabbed Zhao Pingzhen's hand a little harder and insisted: "Wanyan Zhao can't die, let him go."

Zhao Pingzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, Qin Xiaolou's anxious face turned even paler, but there were many people around him, and he struggled to get up and speak in Zhao Pingzhen's ear, but Zhao Pingzhen hugged him tightly to prevent him from moving, indifferently He told Wu Yi: "You can just scare him according to your sense of propriety, let him go, don't take his life seriously."

Qin Xiaolou heaved a sigh of relief, and went so far as to demand: "If it can be done, find two of the most powerful masters to send him secretly, and help him go back to the Kingdom of Jin."

Zhao Pingzhen said "Yes": "Just do as he said. You can do it. If Wan Yanzhao dies, you will all pay for his life."

Wu Yi was stunned by the singing and singing of the adulterer and adulterer.When Qin Xiaolou made this request just now, his heart skipped a beat, and thinking of what Wan Yanzhao said to Qin Xiaolou earlier, he was afraid that Qin Xiaolou was collaborating with the enemy and treason.Who knew that Zhao Pingzhen sent them missions without listening to Qin Xiaolou's reasons. God knows who ordered Yan Zhao's leader to be promoted to the third rank just now. He changed his name here before the tea was cold.But Wu Yi is an old man after all, knowing that Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen are not simple people, since there is always a reason for saying so, he immediately ordered his men to go after the group in front.

Looking at the group of soldiers who witnessed the whole incident, Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen looked at Qin Xiaolou and Zhao Pingzhen one by one, but the military order was like a mountain, and they could only chase in the direction Wan Yanzhao was escaping one after another.

On the way back to the camp after beating the horse, Qin Xiaolou couldn't help shaking from the strong wind, trying to shrink into Zhao Pingzhen's arms, the blood oozing from the wound made Zhao Pingzhen's chest wet.Zhao Pingzhen loosened his grip on the rein, and took off the blanket to wrap Qin Xiaolou tightly, with only half of his head exposed.

Qin Xiaolou heard him sigh softly in the wind: "It's a pity that the right hand was injured... I really like your good handwriting."

Qin Xiaolou turned to look at him, only to see his thin lips tightly pursed, no joy or anger could be seen from his expression, and there was no trace of regret.He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "I can also write with my left hand."

When the group returned to the barracks, Zhao Pingzhen immediately called Zhu Liming to treat Qin Xiaolou's injuries.When Zhu Liming was giving Qin Xiaolou medicine, in order to distract Qin Xiaolou's attention and relieve the pain, Zhao Pingzhen sat aside and chatted with him without saying a word.

Qin Xiaolou said: "How is the battle going?

Zhao Pingzhen said: "Xiang Yunlong and Wang Shi didn't have any accidents, and they won a big victory. Here, Wu Yi and I pretended to be defeated according to the plan, and led them down Mount Hui. I don't know if they saw through our plan or got the news in advance. , I didn’t fall for it. Wu Yi temporarily changed his strategy, and lured Zongzan’s soldiers and horses to lead them, dividing their tens of thousands of troops into several pieces, breaking them into pieces, and defeating them piece by piece. This battle was more bitter than expected It took almost three days of intermittent fighting to wipe out the last group of them, and Zongzan was also dealt with. The number of casualties in our army is still being counted, and it is estimated to be no less than [-]. The heads of Zongzan and Zongbi are now hanging beside the military flag. I'll take you to see it when you recover from your injury, and I'll take it for you."

Qin Xiaolou felt his blood surging just by hearing it, but it was a pity that he was not able to witness such an exciting battle with his own eyes!All his mind was devoted to conceiving Wu Yi's marching formation, and the sharp pain in his shoulder was not so tormenting.He said: "The golden man has the whole army..."

Zhao Pingzhen said: "Unfortunately, the 1 people led by Wan Yanzhao escaped. They left their luggage and concentrated on evacuating. The Jin people's horses are fast, and we really can't catch up. This time you are besieged, you are in danger, Tang He should bear the main responsibility. His 3000 troops were repelled by only 1000 Jin soldiers in half an hour. The retreat was so neat and unrestrained. General Wang didn't even get any news from him. He fought alone and was almost killed by him. .”

Qin Xiaolou frowned slightly, and after a while he said: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, that's all."

Zhao Pingzhen nodded, and moved forward to hold his hand: "I understand what you mean, and I mean the same thing. If it is Wang Shi or Xiang Yunlong, if he is not good at work, he will be beaten with two or three hundred army sticks. From then on He didn't even have the life to go to the battlefield again. It's just that Tang Jing... first gave him dozens of military sticks, dismissed him and escorted him back to the capital, let's talk about it after he has passed the limelight."

After Zhu Liming treated Qin Xiaolou's wound, he carefully wrapped the wound for him.Zhao Pingzhen said: "What hidden dangers will there be in the future after this injury?"

Zhu Liming glanced at his face, sweated secretly, and said, "This knife wound is not a big deal, it's just the damage to this joint... I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Zhao Pingzhen raised his eyebrows immediately: "Joint injury? What's going on? What are you afraid of?"

Qin Xiaolou sighed, smiled wryly, "It's Wan Yanzhao..."

Before Zhu Liming had time to explain Qin Xiaolou's injuries, a messenger outside suddenly shouted: "Commander, General Tang Jing is asking to see you."

Zhao Pingzhen narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said, "Let him in."

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and a man with a naked upper body and a thorn on his back came in, knelt down in front of Zhao Pingzhen and Qin Xiaolou: "Your Highness, Lord Qin."

"Ha!" Looking at his outfit, Zhao Pingzhen couldn't help laughing sarcastically: "Apologizing? General Tang, this is useless. You are doing this now, not because Mingdong and I want to embarrass you, tens of thousands of eyes Look, it is to give an explanation to the soldiers."

Tang Jing just lowered his head and spoke calmly: "I know, I didn't come here to intercede. I'm sorry for Mr. Qin, and I feel ashamed in my heart. I will first confess my crime to Mr. Qin, and then I will give an explanation to all the soldiers."

Qin Xiaolou hadn't put on his clothes yet, his right shoulder was wrapped in thick gauze, and there were other small wounds on his body, which were caused when he was with Wan Yanzhao.Zhao Pingzhen didn't let him put on his clothes, just to show Tang Jing the injuries.Now Tang actually saw it, so Qin Xiaolou put on his clothes leisurely and said, "General Tang, I don't blame you, but I have two questions, I hope you can answer them truthfully."

Tang Jing said: "Lord Qin, please. I dare not hide anything."

Qin Xiaolou said: "First, you lost to Jin Bing, did you intend to release water?"

Tang actually changed his face slightly, his lips trembled, and he uttered a few words with great difficulty: "The golden general who led the army...had saved me three times in the past. I...I..." After finishing speaking, he fell to the ground with his whole body , said in a trembling voice: "I know that my crime is unforgivable, I just ask... I just ask that after my death, His Highness and Lord Qin can bury my body and return it to my hometown! I am... I am from Baoding, I... "Baoding is still in the hands of the Jinren, and it is not known when he will be buried back in Baoding.Tang Jing choked up so much at this point that he couldn't continue.

Seeing that they started to discuss the military situation, Zhu Liming retreated silently after bandaging Qin Xiaolou's wound.Zhao Pingzhen and Qin Xiaolou looked at each other, both feeling moved by Tang Jingzhi's true feelings.Baoding is in the hands of Jinren, and so is Bianjing.It was not only the common people who suffered the humiliation of losing their homeland, even the emperor was not spared.It is also for this reason that these tens of thousands of people are united as one, and they will fight to the death!

Qin Xiaolou said: "Why are you talking about death? No one wants your life."

Tang Jing still lay on the ground, arched his back and trembled slightly: "I know His Highness and Lord Qin are generous, but I have committed such a crime now, and I have no face to stay in the army!" Both Zhao Pingzhen and Qin Xiaolou looked at him The figure does not speak.After a while, Tang Jing said again: "I have been in the Golden Camp for 15 years, eating and living with them, getting along day and night. I hate them for taking away my land, but... I know what I said is treasonous, but I remember that they were just being raped." The puppet manipulated by the gold master, and thinking about the 15 years of my life of sharing weal and woe, I'm afraid...the last general may never be able to go to the battlefield again in this lifetime!"

Zhao Pingzhen's eyes were full of indifference and disdain, and when he was about to speak, Qin Xiaolou held down his hand and took the subject away: "You are honest. My second question, before you rescued me, did you think about it?" Will there be today's result?"

Tang Jing chuckled lightly at himself, and said sadly but with certainty, "Thought about it."

Qin Xiaolou said: "You knew this day would come, or did you choose to do it this way?"

Tang Jing closed his eyes, and a tear fell from his eyes, mixed with dust into a dirty drop: "Yes." He didn't say a word, and Zhao Pingzhen's order was nothing more than a smooth sailing for him——15 Years are the limit.I'm afraid that in a few years, his heart will soon not be named Mu...

Qin Xiaolou sighed, and said softly: "I understand." He cast his eyes on Zhao Pingzhen, and Zhao Pingzhen said displeasedly: "This matter is my own judgment. The sacrifice you made for Da Mu is my king's and Brother Huang sees it all. When you return to Beijing, after the limelight, this king will find a position for you in the court." However, Zhao Pingzhen didn't say anything, and each of the three knew it well, and Tang was actually appointed as an official. It can only be a vain job, and it is impossible to hide this incident from Zhao Nanke. It is unknown whether Zhao Nanke will embarrass him.

Tang Jing was silent for a long time, and said softly: "The general...doesn't want to enter the court again, and the days of intrigue have passed. His Highness is tolerant, and he wishes to save the general's life, so let the general go."

Zhao Pingzhen frowned slightly: "Where are you going?"

Tang Jing said: "I haven't visited the scenery of my homeland yet. I just ask for a horse, a sword, and a jug of wine to go around. When I hear the news of the recovery of my homeland, I will return to my hometown and set up a Susukida. When you are old, you are worthy of death."

When Zhao Pingzhen listened to his eloquence, he knew that he had already planned.He thought for a while, and was a little embarrassed for a moment, then said: "Come on, you go back first."

After Tang Jing left, Zhao Pingzhen turned around and walked back to Qin Xiaolou, only to find that his eyes were absent, he was thinking about something on his mind.Zhao Pingzhen didn't know that the future Tang Jing described was a scene that Qin Xiaolou had dreamed about many times.

Zhao Pingzhen poured a cup of tea for Qin Xiaolou, and handed it to him, Qin Xiaolou came back to his senses, took the tea, lowered his eyes to cover up his gaffe just now.

Zhao Pingzhen said: "You want to let Yan Zhao go back to the country, is it to make Jin fight domestically?"

Qin Xiaolou nodded and smiled and said, "Yes. Wan Yanzhao will have a good show if he returns alive, won't he? If the second prince dies, no matter how capable his mother and concubine are, it is impossible to skip Wanyan Kai and Wan Yanzhao. Let Yan Min and the others support another person to fight for the throne. Killing Wan Yan Zhao will make Wan Yan Kai cheaper for nothing, no good, no good."

Zhao Pingzhen drank the tea in his hand, and the corner of his mouth slightly curved: "Interesting."

Qin Xiaolou couldn't help raising his eyelids to look at Zhao Pingzhen.Zhao Pingzhen just listened to his words, and ordered Wanyan Zhao not to die without even asking why.Although Zhao Pingzhen cleverly guessed his intention, but...Qin Xiaolou couldn't tell what it was like, but felt an undercurrent surging in his heart.

Zhao Pingzhen suddenly said: "Why did you even tell him about your brother?"

The throbbing emotions in Qin Xiaolou's heart were instantly calmed by his words, and he said calmly, "It's an expedient measure."

Zhao Pingzhen nodded: "Oh."

After a while, Zhao Pingzhen said again: "You are by my side every day, and I have offended many people. It is inevitable that someone will threaten you. I will save you once, and there will be two times and three times. If you cut your knife, you will not be hurt. There will be a second time."

Qin Xiaolou looked up at Zhao Pingzhen again, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, and said, "I know." He didn't have any doubts about why Zhao Pingzhen would do this.He was just surprised that with Zhao Pingzhen's temperament, he would explain it to him.
