Chapter 153: A Journey Through the Sea of ​​Bitterness (20)

A heroic scene in line with feudal values ​​took place in the north of the city, but Zhang Xing and Li Ding in the south of the city knew nothing about it.Not only that, the sage, Zai Zhi and other officials in the city center will soon know about this matter, but Zhang and Li still have to wait until the dust settles before they can wake up.

There is no way, their perspective is limited, and they are all focused on the siege and relief. Even if they foresee some possibilities, they are destined to show insufficient imagination in various specific incidents that broke out after the siege.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, people seemed to start to regain their vitality, and all kinds of incidents began to be revealed densely, stirring up ripples layer after layer.

The first decree from the county mansion was a reaffirmation of the decree of blessing to the people of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufan counties, exempting taxes, pardoning sinners, and releasing official slaves.

This made the atmosphere in Zhang Xing's camp become weird.

At this time, those tyrants and clan leaders had already packed their things in advance, unfurled the banner of Youzhou General Manager’s Mansion, and walked back along the military station they had laid for a long time, while those servants of big families and gangsters who stayed here They gathered around Zhang Xing to inquire whether this decree was related to them.

Moreover, after learning that it had nothing to do with them, they couldn't hide their disappointment.

But soon, the second decree with a slightly revised color arrived, and the content was the same, but it expanded the scope of pardoning sins and releasing official slaves to civilian husbands who came to support outside the three counties.

In this inconspicuous camp located in the south of the city, the group was immediately divided into groups. Some people cheered and jumped up, some looked embarrassed, but at the same time, some people were completely lost.

What is exciting is the official slaves. They are now freed from the shackles and returned to the civilian class... Huairong is not the Eastern Capital. Official slaves still have human rights. They can really redeem themselves. This is a real favor for them.

At the same time, there are also a small number of low-level gangsters with some troubles who feel that they can start a new life, and they are also a little excited.

As for the lost ones, they were the private slaves sent by the Gao family, the so-called private slaves of Lubi's livestock, and they were not included in the pardon.

This seems to be a matter of course, because according to any "jurisprudence and rules", even if it is meritorious, it belongs to their master Huai Ronggao, and has nothing to do with them. Even when they first came, they just followed the master's wishes and didn't have much Hope... It's just that they have been expecting for no reason after hearing too much information in the camp during the trip these days.

As for the embarrassing ones, it was those gangsters, who could even be called rangers. These people mainly wanted to be an official, so naturally they couldn't help being anxious.

Then, they became more anxious.

Because the next three consecutive decrees are public declarations:

All ministries are required to count and summarize the number of people, gather for preparations, Sheng Jia must leave Yunnei City within today no matter what, and head south to Taiyuan;

Then, with the two ministers behind the palace, Li Cheng, the governor of Youzhou, assisted the prefect Wang Rengong in the front line to clean up the place, recover the city, and repair the border;
The reinforcements from Jin were escorted collectively, and the entourage was transferred back to Taiyuan. The reinforcements from other ministries stayed in Mayi and were under the unified command of Li Cheng and Wang Rengong to retreat from the enemy.

In other words, the matter was delayed, and the reinforcements from Youzhou could no longer accompany them, but stayed in the local area instead.

Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, called the leaders of the rangers, and once again suggested that they take advantage of the chaotic situation, pretend that they did not hear the order, and catch up with the evacuated fellow villagers with the private slaves of the Gao family who were about to return, and go home directly .It would be a bit difficult to handle if you were late and caught by some military leader.

Hearing Zhang Xing's persuasion, some people were finally shaken and chose to obey, but others were still a little unwilling - unlike others, they came here voluntarily and wanted to give it a go, and they didn't want to give up their fame at all. future.

Not only that, they also hoped that Zhang Changjian, who seemed easy to talk to, would contact General Luo for them before going to Taiyuan so that he could continue to serve the country.

Everyone has their own ambitions, but since Zhang Xing has his own ideas, Zhang Xing has nothing to say, so he immediately sent Xiao Zhou into the city to call Qin Bao, and let Qin Bao lead these people to have sex with his uncle, cousin or someone else. handover, while Zhang Xing himself, like Li Ding, went into the city to find his respective "shangguan".

The saint doesn't want to stay in Yunnei City for a day, and the others can only follow along... But at the same time, everyone is tired with the mentality of remaining after a catastrophe, and desperately wants to return to their home in Dongdu.

When he first entered the city, the atmosphere in the city was obviously jubilant and restless, but after entering the county mansion, Zhang Xing clearly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think too much, he could only rush to see Niu Dugong, and it took a long time before he was summoned suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Sanlang saw two unexpected people after stepping into the duke's room... Cao Ming, the young minister of Jing'an Tai, the leader of Qi Wang, and Bai Yousi, the real regular inspector of Fu Longwei... Of course, It wasn't a special accident for Bai Yousi, because he was holding the seal of Fulong, Bai Yousi needed to be with the queen all the time, and rarely communicated face to face, but he met quite a few times along the way. It's no problem to communicate directly with Xinggong, and I even met him a few days ago when I left the city.

But His Royal Highness King Qi, the last time he met this adult prince was in Dongdu.

But Zhang Xing still didn't know why the atmosphere in the county mansion was so tense?

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Niu Dugong turned his head to look at King Qi, who was wearing a black cloak and pale in the middle.

"Very good." Qi Wang Cao Ming rubbed his hands together and tried to laugh. "Zhang Sanlang is indeed a conscientious man, and he has some fate with this king...He will accompany me, and he will feel a little more at ease."

Niu Dugong nodded again and again, and went to look at Bai Yousi who had an expressionless face.

And Bai Yousi sneered, before nodding his head: "I'm working as an errand, why don't I go?"

Dugong Niu nodded again, and then he came to see Zhang Xing who was still saluting with his hands in the air: "Zhang Sanlang, you have worked so hard to bring reinforcements here, and you only paid the order yesterday, and you are still half a year away from Dongdu, so you should be allowed to accompany you We turned back together... But right now there is an emergency, and we need someone you can trust to accompany His Royal Highness King Qi on a journey through the sea of ​​suffering... Bai Changjian wants to take care of the Fulong Seal, so he will set off immediately with his car, and I will leave too, so I’m going to trouble Vice Chancellor Zhang.”

Although Zhang Xing was a little dazed, he immediately lowered his hands and nodded... Dugong Niu spoke in person, and even accompanied the prince and his theoretical immediate superior, what else could he do?

I just hope it’s not a troublesome job—speaking of which, I used the compass before, and it should be for breaking out with Qin Bao. After all, I broke through several checkpoints and killed many people with real knives and guns .

However, having said that, Dugong Niu hesitated to speak, as if there was something unspeakable, he could only sigh.

Zhang Xing, who was waiting for the following, had no choice but to look directly at Bai Yousi.

Bai Yousi was expressionless, but he spoke sharply: "Two things, one is to escort His Royal Highness to the front line of the Sea of ​​​​Bitterness to monitor the complete retreat of the Wu people; The body was brought back... Wei Shangshu led [-] fresh troops to the north to monitor the witches last night. In the early morning of this morning, for some reason, he suddenly chose to surprise the main force of the witches who were about to withdraw, but he was defeated and died... The saint lost his temper, saying that he didn't believe it, and that he said yes To die is to see a corpse...do you understand?"

Zhang Xing was stunned for a long time... I really don't blame him, there is too much information in it, although Wei Shangshu is not familiar with him, he is one of the top ten bosses in the inspection team. When he first arrived yesterday, it was said that he was still in the city. He died early this morning... Don't say that the saint doesn't believe it, even Zhang Laosan didn't believe it for a while.

It was Dugong Niu who finally spoke about this matter again: "This matter mainly needs to be kept secret, so as not to disturb the morale of the army, you need to calm down and pretend to go out as much as possible... And... and once you go out, the main thing is to listen to His Royal Highness King Qi, Take his word for it...adapt to local conditions, play by ear...do you understand?"

Although Bai Yousi seemed to be a little resentful, and Niu Dugong seemed to have something in his words, Zhang Xing could only nod immediately.

Moreover, Zhang Xing seemed to have turned a little bit around this matter.

First of all, Wei Chi's case, aside from the accident that the crock was not separated from the mouth of the well, combined with the temper of a sage, what else could it be?At most, it is the grievances and grievances between the monarch and his ministers, and the drama of admonishing the emperor to the death.

For a moment, Zhang Sanlang even thought of the sage's pre-commitment that nine out of ten he would be ignorant, the whip that Wei Chi received before entering the city, and the abolition of the governor's state in Kansai earlier, as well as the fact that the chief The princess family died one after another...and then strung together.

There is also King Qi here, it seems that there is no need to say more.

Combined with the previous information, King Qi, as an adult prince, has always been the first stop of this tour, and then after the incident with the Princess of Kansai’s family, the team turned to Jin, and King Qi became the guard again, so that the Wu clan suddenly When he got mad and surrounded Yunnei, the adult prince happened to be stuck in Taiyuan, the accompanying capital that had not been appointed to stay behind.

Although the siege of the city stopped after [-] days, although it can be seen from the appearance of King Qi here, and the officials from Jin who came to express their loyalty, King Qi did nothing, or did not have time to do it, but with the sage who is the only one who respects me How can the mind be refreshed?
Considering that all the reinforcements from the Jin Dynasty went to Taiyuan with them, and Li Cheng, the general manager of Youzhou who took care of the aftermath in the north, was also a confidant of the saint, it seemed more like shelving, isolation and distribution for King Qi to go to the north to sit in town.

No wonder the atmosphere in the county mansion is so weird, and it's no wonder Duke Niu is embarrassed, and Bai Yousi seems to be resentful.

"That's good." Seeing Zhang Xing nodding, King Qi coughed dryly twice. "I don't want to delay Duke Du's preparations for the guard of honor. I will change my clothes and make up a little bit, and then I will go out with Zhang Sanlang...I hope to go back sooner."

Dugong Niu immediately restrained himself and remained silent.

On the contrary, Bai Yousi was silent for a moment, holding his long sword and cupping his hands slightly towards Zhang Xing: "Sanlang, take care... Hurry up and come back."

Then, he was the first to turn out of the room.

Zhang Xing immediately nodded in return, and then went out to wait for King Qi.

After he came out, Duke Niu had obviously made arrangements. First, Eunuch Yu came over with a full set of Beiya documents and the Tiger Talisman of the Ministry of War. Then ten Fulongwei and two army masters who acted as guides were gathered together. A horse with an empty waterskin and a pile of dry food or something.

After a while, His Royal Highness King Qi also changed into a simple leather armor, took a long sword wrapped in silk, and led the horse out by himself.

Some of Fulongwei recognized King Qi, and immediately wanted to bow down, but was stopped by King Qi: "Just pretend you didn't see this king, I'm only talking to Zhang Fu Changjian, you just listen to him."

Zhang Xing seemed to have gained all the command power, but in fact he was completely out of control.

Of course, at this point in the matter, there is really no twists and turns. The so-called dazed come, dazed go... It vividly shows the helplessness of a middle-level military officer in the Wei Dynasty who is constrained by the system.

It was not yet noon when they set off, and everyone had three horses, and they were all light armor experts at the stage of eight meridians, so they naturally went smoothly.

But even so, there were still several small-scale battles along the way. Many small groups of Wu tribes who went out to plunder privately, or small tribes were obviously blocked by the Wei army behind the Wuzhou Mountain passage, and they were desperately trying to get back. Kuhaihai, trying to catch the last boat, was blocked by the defense line built by the Wei army, and in turn became the prey of Youzhou cavalry.

All the way to the north, it was only forty or fifty miles, and the time was only in the afternoon, and they came to the designated place. The two guides told them that the temporary camp at the mountain pass ahead should be the place where Wei Shangshu's body was buried, and it was also the place where Mr. Li of Youzhou He joined forces with Duan Shangshu of the Ministry of War to gather the defeated army and established the frontline camp.

Zhang Xing was relieved for a moment.

He was really relieved, because he didn't care about the possible follow-up of this battle, nor how heroic Wei Shangshu's death was. He only thought that the distance was so close. If he took the body, he might be able to change horses and return immediately, and he could catch up with him tomorrow morning. Go to the big army and hand over the errands early.

This may seem cold-blooded.

But the fact is that the fundamental meaning of this battle is similar to the unveiling and the horn, similar to the sound of the dial and the slogan, and it is by no means a military operation itself.And all those who died for no reason in this battle can only be reduced to the dregs of the prelude to the political storm.

In the eyes of Zhang Xing, there is no difference between the people of Mayi who were taken captive, the elite cavalry who fell off their horses and died because of the hasty march, the soldiers of the Wu tribe who were destined to die on the side of the sea of ​​bitterness, and the Wei Shangshu.

Of course, it is different in the eyes of others, because this Wei Shangshu is a Shangshu, and he died heroically and heroically. The relationship between the Long warlords and the saint... Bai Yousi was obviously touched, and when Li Ding heard about it, nine out of ten he would be touched.

But Zhang Xing, even if he touches it, he can only touch it from a humanitarian point of view, but it is true that corpses are not uncommon along the way.

In short, this seems to be a hero. In the future, someone may write an article to commemorate him, and he may even become famous. If Zhang Xing is in a good state, he may be touched and empathize with him. But at this moment, all he thinks about is how to get a job done and end the task as soon as possible. , end this ridiculous inspection early, go back to the East to rest, and prepare to find a foreigner.

At this moment, King Qi behind him suddenly said, "Zhang Xing."

"The next official is here." Zhang Xing, who had regained his senses, turned his head in surprise. "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"I won't go in yet." King Qi stood on the side of the road expressionlessly. "You take people in, go directly to Duan Shangshu, let him return with the corpse in person, just catch up with Shengjia, let the accompanying Fulongwei and the two messengers go back with him, and you go to Youzhou Li alone. Manager, let Manager Li wait for me in the tent, and then you come out and take me to see him."

As he said that, His Royal Highness King Qi actually found a white ribbon from his bosom, hung it around his waist, and turned to look at the other Fulongwei and the two guides: "Among you, some know this king, and some don't... ...It doesn't matter...No one is allowed to say anything about today's affairs."

Zhang Xing instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree with the others.

Next, because it was just running errands to inform the two senior officials, and there was no need to do it by hand, the matter was extremely easy. Zhang Xinglian and Wei Chi's corpses were never seen, but when they came out to bring King Qi in low-key, they took a quick glance and saw Duan Wei with a sad expression. It's just turning back south with the twelve companions who came here.

When they returned to the temporary camp again, Zhang Xing failed to enter Li Cheng's big tent, but just sat outside.

But King Qi came out after not staying for long, and Zhang Xing greeted him with the last sliver of hope... He very much hoped that this matter would end here.

Let's go!

"Let's go." Qi Wang Cao Ming sighed. "Boss Li means that the Wu tribe is really about to withdraw, and Deputy Changjian Zhang might as well come with me to see the Sea of ​​​​Bitterness."

Zhang Xing was completely speechless, but could only accompany the leader who didn't know whether he was mad or the Riddler, got on the horse, passed through the temporary barracks, and continued to gallop north.

After galloping for about [-] to [-] miles, he heard the sound of waves surging in his ears, and large areas of battle marks began to appear in front of him. King Qi suddenly rode his horse and galloped up a relatively gentle hillside. Zhang Xing did not dare to neglect , followed closely.

Climbing up the hillside, looking down from the height, Zhang Xing was completely stunned.

Without him, under the afternoon sun, the waves of the sea of ​​bitterness swayed slightly, slapping against the rugged banks, and the huge Wu clan camp was also making final preparations for boarding... Maybe it was because they realized that it was impossible to wait for those small tribes who lost their messages. In the camp of the ethnic group, arsons began to be set on fire... The smoke was billowing, and it was relatively thick at first, but when it rose to a certain height, it was scattered by the north wind coming from the sea of ​​bitterness, and turned into a fine mist, like a cloud of smoke .

But these clouds and smoke still can't cover the sea of ​​bitterness that is hundreds of miles wide and extends northward to where the icebergs can be seen floating.

This is a real sea, man-made, or witchcraft, dragon, it doesn't matter, but it is a sea.

At this moment, Zhang Xing put away all his ennui, his distaste and irritability for political tricks, and his self-righteous speculation about the historical context.

Because in front of this piece of sea that appeared directly north of Jindi, there can be no absolute coincidence of history.

And this seems to mean new possibilities and new stories.

Zhang Xing wanted to cry inexplicably, but he couldn't tell whether it was sad or moved.

"Has Deputy Zhang Jian started to miss his hometown after seeing the sea of ​​suffering?" Qi Wang Cao Ming suddenly smiled. "Why do you feel like crying? I remember you are from the Northland?"

"He's from the North, but he may not be homesick." Zhang Xing didn't look back, but just looked at the sea. "Maybe there is also homesickness...it's hard to say."

"Nostalgia is nostalgia, what's wrong with that?" Cao Ming shook his head. "It's just you and me here, aren't you embarrassed?"

Before Zhang Xing could respond, His Royal Highness King Qi thought again: "It's not necessarily true. At first, I was homesick, and then I was worried about the future, and then I was worried about the state affairs. What's wrong? I'm a little narrow-minded."

"I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the new ones in the future. I think about the long distance between the world and the earth, and I feel sad." Zhang Xing almost instinctively thought of this sentence, and then blurted it out. "When people want to cry, why can't they cry? Why ask for a reason? Besides, the lower officials didn't cry after all."

Cao Ming fell silent and stopped his horse, just looking at the sea like Zhang Xing.

Before sunset, almost all the ships of the Wu tribe left. Wei Jun sent a team to search and enter the sea. The noise rose and then fell, and the two stopped watching the sea.

"Your Highness, do you want to go back to camp?" Under the setting sun, Zhang Xing asked seriously.

Cao Ming shook his head: "Thank you, Vice Changjian Zhang, let's light a bonfire."

Zhang Xing smiled wryly, he had no choice but to get off his horse, gather some firewood, take out the flint, and light the fire carefully.

The bonfire was lit, and the two sat down together. Cao Ming finally spoke after being silent for a long time:
"Zhang Xing, Zhang Fuchangjian, Zhang Sanlang, do you know? Ever since we reunited in the willow forest, I have been waiting for the two of us to get along so calmly in private and settle our grievances..."

Zhang Xing's scalp was numb, he thought for a while, took a branch to fiddle with the fire, and then told him seriously: "To tell you the truth, I met Lord Fenshan and Lord Bihai during the Second Expedition to Dongyi, and I was frightened." , I forgot all the incidents before the war... If there is any fate between the official and His Highness before, His Highness, please tell me again."

Cao Ming was surprised for a moment, but after a while, his tone became more difficult: "If that's the case, I'll be even more ashamed...but it doesn't matter, we will meet later."

Zhang Xing was completely stunned, what the hell is this?Isn't it a grievance?What are you ashamed of?
"Do you know why I came here?" Seeing this, Cao Ming asked slowly.

"The sage naturally gathered civil and military forces from Jin when His Highness was in Taiyuan. Although he knew it was a matter of course, he was still unhappy. He wanted His Highness to stay away from Jin officials, soldiers and civilians?" Now that he asked, Zhang Xing didn't bother Pretend not to know, not to mention that he is in a mess at the moment, just trying to calm down. "So this time I went to the north, named the governor, and it was actually a distribution, isolation, and surveillance. When Taiyuan was in order, and even returned to the Eastern Capital, did I let His Highness go back?"

"Yes and no." Cao Ming answered calmly. "That's roughly what it means, but theoretically speaking, Father's arrangement is really effective, because I really have a way to ensure that the Wu people can't easily come back... It's just that the damage is huge, and it's impossible to succeed. .”

Zhang Xing was at a loss.

"Do you recognize this sword?" Cao Ming said, taking out a sheathless military sword from his side.

Zhang Xing was still at a loss, but without delay he immediately made a guess: "This is the Dragon Shocking Sword? Your Highness can use this sword to summon a royal dragon here? But once it is used, it will cause great damage? And the Sin Dragon in the Sea of ​​​​Bitterness is extremely powerful , it is very likely that the real dragons in Jindi will not respond, or they will be powerless?"

"Yes." Cao Ming finally sighed, and then stared at the other party with his long sword in his arms and said every word. "In the early spring of last year, Dongyi was conquered twice in the front, and Yang Shen rebelled in the rear. I, who had once cultivated to become an alchemy, was appointed as Shaocheng, and I was ordered to leave Dongdu in plain clothes...don't look at me that way. That day, it was I who wielded this sword attack Walking down Longtan, attracting the tigers to dispatch, and cutting off the Dongyi's chasing troops..."

Zhang Xing was numb from the scalp to the heart, and it took a long time before he looked away from the sheathless military sword, and then asked seriously: "Your Highness is the person under the tree that day? It was because of summoning the real dragon to bite back. What happened to that?"

"Not bad." Cao Ming sneered. "After Fen Shanjun came out, I realized that, as Cheng Dan's cultivation base and the identity of the prince, I forced this sword to command the real dragon, half of my life was lost, I was lucky... But compared to this, I feel even more chilled by my father's ruthlessness He is clearly the emperor and the master, and he insists on me doing things that only require a little cultivation. Zhang Sanlang, do you know? Do it."

"He's afraid of your cultivation!" Zhang Xing blurted out, and at the same time flashed the saint's panic after hearing Du Lan's attack.

"It's not just about cultivation. In the early years, I didn't know the heights of heaven and earth. I relied on my outstanding cultivation. After the death of my elder brother, I had unreasonable thoughts, recruited talents, and managed power. Then I was easily punished by my father, and then I devoted myself to cultivation. ...Thinking about it now, I'm afraid this is the root cause of my father's terrified determination to kill two birds with one stone after Yang Shen's rebellion." Cao Ming couldn't stop laughing. "Therefore, when I woke up that day, not only was I seriously injured and waiting to die, but my heart was ashamed... I just felt that since the father wanted the death of the son, and the ruler wanted the death of his ministers, I would just die... But you, who gave it to me... My two pancakes slowed me down to the point where my greed for life came back."

Zhang Xing opened his mouth to speak, but he had nothing to say.

"Since I met you that day, I have often been paying attention to inquire about your affairs, and then guessed that according to your disposition to go home behind that Hongshan man's back, if you didn't say anything on the surface, you should actually hate me in your heart, right? Maybe there is also the idea of ​​becoming the chief executive in the future, finding the person who summoned the dragon, and venting his hatred with one blow." Seeing this, Cao Ming smiled wryly. "But I didn't expect that the enemy who ruined your tens of thousands of lives was in front of you. Instead of killing him, you gave him two pancakes!"

"Am I your opponent now?" Zhang Xing asked suddenly.

"No." Cao Ming answered seriously. "But if the Wu people don't leave, or come back, forcing me to summon the dragon again according to my will, then you can kill as much as you want... That's why I asked Duke Niu to invite you here... If you really want to die, I will pay you with your life. But on the other hand, I learned from Nanpo since I was a child, and I believe that this life was given by my father, so if I don’t need to call the dragon, my life can only be taken away by my father. "

"Your Highness is just betting half of your life with your gentleman father after ruining all futures." Zhang Xing responded coldly.

"Perhaps." Cao Ming replied with a sigh. "But so what? Zhang Sanlang, you are no match for me now, and you have no choice."

"So, His Highness asked me to come, and nine out of ten you still want to humiliate me?" Zhang Xing turned his head to look at the already dark sea of ​​bitterness. "Dulan Khan doesn't care about military gains or losses at all. Surrounding the Great Wei Emperor is the result he originally wanted... Going back now, maybe he can take advantage of the situation to reconcile with Tuli, or even form an alliance. This is the largest Wu clan in the east. How could it be possible to turn back in the short term?"

"Hold it." Cao Ming suddenly handed over the sheathless military sword.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xing took it in his hand, and then looked at it carefully beside the fire.

"With this sword in your hand, you can be sure that if I want to use it, you will definitely be by my side, so that I can repay this life." Cao Ming looked at the other party and said calmly. "And if I don't have a chance to use it again, I will keep it for you...Maybe it will save a little trouble... Summoning the dragon has a price, not only the key of the sword user, I also know it after the fact. It is against the law of heaven to cut off the energy of the earth and the dragon."

Zhang Xingheng held his sword in his knees, his face was expressionless, and his heart moved slightly.

"Zhang Sanlang, I'm sorry, but I'm a royal nobleman. To be able to do this is already the result of being open-minded after my future has come to naught." Cao Ming stood up and spoke firmly in the twilight. "Don't have extra extravagant thoughts, you will mistake yourself."

Zhang Xing watched the other party leave, looked up at Shuangyue, who was showing a little bit of teeth, then lowered his head, put the sword aside casually, and continued to stare blankly at the sea of ​​bitterness that could no longer be seen clearly.

Just now Cao Ming got two things wrong:

First of all, from the moment he knew what was going on, Zhang Xing was not stingy enough to place the role of the so-called enemy on His Royal Highness Qi Wang, who was too self-indulgent.

Secondly, after knowing what was going on, he, Zhang Sanlang, went into the sea with superfluous thoughts!So much so that he is so motivated now!
As the saying goes, although the sea of ​​bitterness is on credit, it can still be taken up; the east corner is gone, and it is not too late for Sang Yu.

Half a month later, the Wu Clan never appeared on the Sea of ​​Bitterness. Instead, a winter snow came from the Sea of ​​Bitterness. With the arrival of this snow, the last guard of Youzhou General Manager's Mansion also chose to withdraw. Zhang Xing and King Qi He also received the order from Qin Bao himself to lead a team to pass on the order, and return to the east capital from the south.

The group of people wanted to return home, but just after passing the White Wolf Fort, they encountered armored robbers blocking the way and asked them to buy road money.

PS: Good night everyone.
