Not mentioning the greetings between Wei Siqi and Wei Puti, Li Zhen stepped forward and reported: "Your Highness, the person was fished out of the prison, and no one stopped him."
Li Zhiyun nodded without saying a word. Now that the Tang army controlled Luoyang City, it was just a matter of words who King Chu wanted. Except for Wang Shichong, everyone else could discuss it with his second brother. Not to mention that it was just a trivial matter to capture Wang Xuanying's wife.
At this time, Wei Siqi remembered the King of Chu. The two of them hurriedly pulled Wei Puti forward and introduced: "Sister, this is His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Thanks to his rescue, you and I can meet each other."
Wei Boti raised his head slightly, looked at the heroic young man on the main seat, and knelt down to salute him.
"Webster thanks His Royal Highness the King of Chu for his kindness in saving me."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "Sister, there is no need to be polite. I am now Gui Niang's husband. We are a family, so there is no need to say thank you."
He is definitely younger than Wei Puti, but who makes Wei Gui older than Wei Puti, so he can only reluctantly become a brother-in-law and recognize Wei Puti as his sister-in-law.
Wei Puti bit her red lips and whispered: "Your Highness, King Chu, I dare to ask, what will happen to Wang Xuanying?"
Li Zhiyun raised his eyebrows and said: "I have no control over this matter. Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying, father and son, can only be left to me, the saint of the Tang Dynasty. If my sister and Wang Xuanying have a deep relationship and want to intercede for Wang Xuanying, I'm afraid that
I can't help. Of course, if my sister just asks casually, I can make the decision and let Wang Xuanying reconcile with you. The affairs of the Wang family will not involve you."
Although Wei Puti was beautiful, Li Zhiyun would not save Wang Xuanying for her. In his heart, both Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying were destined to die.
Wei Boti lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.
Although Li Zhiyun did not use a strong tone, his words revealed an unquestionable flavor.
Wei Siqi hurriedly said: "Your Highness has misunderstood. When my sister married Wang Xuanying, it was Wang Shichong who forced the two grandfathers. It was definitely not my grandfather and my sister's wish."
At this time, Wei Ji also raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me. Back then, a certain man was living in Luoyang and was threatened by Wang Shichong. He had no choice but to take this tactic. Please forgive me."
Li Zhiyun knew very well that Wei Ji was lying.
Marriage investment is not a rare thing, and Li Zhiyun is not blind, so he can naturally see it. However, since he has a relationship with Webster, he will naturally ignore this. Besides, Wang Shichong has been defeated, so there is no point in pursuing these.
"I know that Yuezu need not take it to heart."
When Li Zhiyun and Wei Puti met, Qin Qiong, Li Junxian, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Niu Jinda, and Xu Shiji from the King of Chu's army gathered together in a rare gathering.
"I have inquired clearly. Brother Shan is imprisoned in prison. King Qin decided to select a day to behead all the generals under Wang Shichong at the Luoshui River outside Luoyang City." Xu Shiji said.
Qin Qiong asked: "Have you asked King Qin for mercy?"
"Please, I am willing to exchange the merits I have achieved this time for Brother Shan's life, but King Qin will not allow it."
"Why?" Cheng Yaojin was puzzled and said, "Wang Shichong deserves to die. Why can't King Qin forgive Shan Xiongxin?"
Although they went their separate ways and even fought against each other for a time, their old friendship with Wagang still existed, and none of them wanted to see Shan Xiongxin die.
Luo Shixin said: "I know the reason."
"What's the reason?" Xu Shiji asked. Among all the people in Wagang back then, he and Shan Xiongxin had the best relationship, and they were most concerned about him at this time.
Luo Shixin said: "When the armies of King Qin and Wang Shichong faced each other, Shan Xiongxin was the vanguard general. He once led his army to defeat Hou Junji and killed King Qin. At that time, King Chu asked Yuchi Gong to lead his army to defeat Shan Xiongxin, and then King Qin was saved.
The situation was extremely dangerous at that time, and King Qin's war horse was almost shot to death by an arrow.
Perhaps, because of this, King Qin was unwilling to let Shan Xiongxin go."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Shan Xiongxin had murderous intentions towards the King of Qin, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the King of Qin wanting to kill Shan Xiongxin.
Li Junxian said: "The King of Qin is too stingy. The two armies are fighting each other, each for his own master. Why should he be so worried about it?"
"Jun Xian!" Qin Qiong quickly scolded him, "You are crazy for saying such things."
Li Junxian also realized that he had made a mistake and quickly shut up.
Xu Shiji asked them, "Where is the King of Chu? Have you begged the King of Chu for mercy?"
Everyone looked at each other, Qin Qiong said in a low voice: "Maogong, although we serve in the King of Chu's army, we have always been separated from the King of Chu by one layer, and we are not direct relatives. It is not easy to say such things."
Li Junxian, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin, and Niu Jinda all agreed. Although they knew that King Chu cared for them and trusted them, there was always a thin film between them.
Specifically, this can be seen from Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang. They were the first to follow the King of Chu and were the most trusted by the King of Chu. Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang could discuss all important matters in the army with Du Ruhui and Xue Shou.
What Qin Qiong and others did most was fighting, not making decisions. That's why Qin Qiong said that they were not direct descendants of the King of Chu.
Xu Shiji suddenly panicked, "What should I do? Do you want me to watch Brother Shan be beheaded?"
In his opinion, he and King Qin were not very familiar with each other, so it was understandable that his plea for mercy was unsuccessful. If King Chu was willing to come forward as a guarantee, Shan Xiongxin would most likely not die.
But now, King Chu's road seems to be unreachable.
"Why are you panicking? I'll go and plead with His Highness!" Cheng Yaojin said. Although he is usually generous, he is very loyal at times like this.
"I'll go too." Li Junxian said.
"Let's go together!" Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Niu Jinda said at the same time.
Xu Shiji was inexplicably moved, and he cupped his fists and saluted them, "Thank you brothers."
Not long after, Li Zhiyun received a report from Li Zhen that Qin Qiong and others wanted to see him. He left space for Wei Siqi and others, left by himself, and met Qin Qiong and others at the side tent.
When they met, Qin Qiong directly stated his purpose of coming and asked Li Zhiyun to protect Shan Xiongxin, and they were willing to exchange for their achievements this time.
Hearing such words, Li Zhiyun felt uncomfortable. He had always hoped that Qin Qiong and others could have unreserved trust in him like Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang. Now Qin Qiong and others interceded for Shan Xiongxin, but proposed an exchange, which made him feel that he and Qin Qiong
There is something strange between them.
"The meritorious deeds were made by you. How can you replace them with others? There is no need to mention this matter again." Li Zhiyun refused directly.
Hearing this, Qin Qiong and others were immediately disheartened.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said: "But I promise you that I will plead with my second brother."
Um?
Qin Qiong raised her head and looked at Li Zhiyun in disbelief.
"Is there anything strange? You are my most trusted brothers, and your brothers are naturally my brothers. I could entrust you with my life on the battlefield, and now you are willing to entrust your brother's life to me.
Why is it strange?"
Hearing this, Qin Qiong was inexplicably moved.
Li Junxian even said directly: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!"
"Me too!" Cheng Yaojin clasped his fists.
Luo Shixin and Niu Jinda naturally followed suit.
Qin Qiong said: "Your Highness, I will always remember this kindness in my heart."
Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said, "Don't be too happy. Shan Xiongxin once wanted to kill his second brother. The matter is not that simple."
"As long as His Highness comes forward, King Qin will definitely give His Highness face, hehe." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
