Song Ke looked at Wang Dongjun with murderous intent in his eyes. Seeing Wang Dongjun nodding, he stopped talking and got up and followed him out of the tent. Wu Qinghan winked at Yang Chiji, who understood and immediately followed.
Leave the tent and leave.
Wang Dongjun and Wang Heng both stood up and wanted to go out to watch the battle, but Qin Xiao sat calmly, shaking the wine glass in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Master Wang, don't trust your subordinates? Don't have confidence in him?"
Wang Dongjun was startled, then sneered: "What do you mean?"
"Let them compete with each other. It's their business how to compete. The results will be rewarded naturally." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "If Mr. Wang is not confident in his subordinates, you can go and have a look and encourage him from the side."
.”
When Wang Dongjun heard this, he sat down and snorted coldly.
In fact, many people in the tent were already preparing to get up and go out to watch the battle. However, after Qin Xiao said this, they did not move their buttocks.
When everyone saw that Qin Xiao was as motionless as a mountain, while Wang Dongjun and others were obviously a little anxious, they immediately felt that the momentum of these two people was different.
"Great Khan, let me toast you." Qin Xiao stood up, held the wine glass and said to Wu Qinghan: "Congratulations on taking over the position of Khan, I am very happy."
Wu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then finally picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
Qin Xiao broke the silence, and everyone else also drank and drank. Gudan Tutun and others knew that the congratulatory messenger definitely did not come with malicious intentions this time, so they frequently toasted to Hu Lufa and others.
Although there was a deep hatred between the two before, now they are guests and the prairie people are warm and hospitable. The friendship between landlords still needs to be fulfilled.
"By the way, Zhenyu Khan, there is one more thing we need to do during our trip." Wang Heng seemed to have thought of something, put down his wine glass and said, "I heard that the Zhenyu Department is holding a prisoner named Du Zitong. This person is a Black Mountain bandit. I don't know if he is there."
This matter?"
Wu Qinghan remained calm and composed. He raised his head and looked at the banquet. He saw that the judicial officer He Laiba was also among them and asked: "He Laiba, is this the case?"
"There is indeed such a person, but we can't talk about being imprisoned." He Laiba stood up and said: "Du Zitong claimed to be from Montenegro, and brought more than a dozen subordinates with him. He was previously taken in by Zhen Yuchui, and Zhen Yuchui was handed over to Du Zitong.
After Er Huren, Du Zitong and his gang stayed in the tribe." After a pause, he continued: "Although they claim to be from Montenegro, their identities cannot be finalized. If they are really Black Mountain bandits, they are from the Tang Dynasty.
We will not take in fugitives."
Wang Hengdao: "As far as we know, the Black Mountain bandit Du Zitong did escape to Zhenyu Grassland with a group of remnants. The Black Mountain bandits killed the people. Du Zitong is the fourth leader of the Black Mountain bandits and is also a key criminal wanted by the government. Since they are here, please give me a warning
Leave these fugitives to us to take back."
"Wait a minute." Qin Xiao put down his wine glass and said in surprise: "Are you here to ask for fugitives too?"
As soon as Wang Heng heard this, he knew something was wrong and frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
"My meaning is very clear." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Du Zitong is a fugitive from Montenegro. Of course I want to take him back."
Wang Dongjun couldn't bear it any longer, clenched his fist and said, "Qin Xiao, are you going to fight against the Liaodong Army in everything?"
This time he directly carried out the Liaodong Army, his tone full of threats.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "What Mr. Wang said is strange. What does it mean to confront your Liaodong Army? Your Majesty may represent the Liaodong Army, but can you also represent it? Moreover, the Liaodong Army and Long Rui Army both belong to the imperial court.
Soldiers and horses, regardless of each other, why are we fighting against each other? Does Mr. Wang think that I have some conflicts with you, that is, I have a conflict with the Liaodong Army?" His face sank, his eyes were like a knife, he looked at Wang Dongjun, and said sternly: "You tell me
, is the Liaodong Army’s surname Li or Wang?”
His tone was already extremely solemn, completely different from the calm chatter and laughter he had just now.
Wang Dongjun also changed his face in horror.
Although the Liaodong Army is actually controlled by the Wang family, who dares to openly say that the Liaodong Army's surname is Wang?
Qin Xiao asked sharply, and cold sweat broke out on Wang Dongjun's forehead.
Wu Qinghan looked at Wang Dongjun's helpless and flustered look, and saw Qin Xiao staring at Wang Dongjun like a vicious wolf. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but it disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this, Wang Heng hurriedly said: "Of course the Liaodong Army is the army of the Tang Dynasty and is loyal to the saint. Qin Xiao and Du Zitong are fugitives from Montenegro, so they will naturally be handed over to the Duhufu for trial and execution. I am the Chief of the Duhufu.
, it is natural to bring the fugitive back."
"Master Wang may have forgotten that Long Rui's army is now suppressing the bandits." Qin Xiao said slowly: "Du Zitong is one of the bandit leaders in Montenegro. He will be needed to help eliminate the remaining bandits, so he cannot be handed over to Master Wang.
go back."
"Hasn't Heishan been wiped out by your Long Rui army?" Wang Heng asked anxiously: "What else do you want him to do?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in He Gu changed their expressions slightly.
The Black Mountain bandits were well-known, and He Gubu naturally knew that tens of thousands of bandits were entrenched in the Black Mountains. Although the Liaodong Army encircled and suppressed them several times, they all failed to return.
The news that Long Rui's army had annihilated the Black Mountain bandits had not yet reached He Gubu. When Hu Lufa and others knew this, they were naturally shocked. They did not expect that the Black Mountain bandits who were deeply entrenched in Montenegro would be wiped out by Long Rui's army who had just left the border.
Hu Lufa and others knew that Qin Xiao was very good at martial arts, and now they knew that he had wiped out the Black Mountain bandits, and they were even more in awe.
"Du Zitong is the leader of Baimuzhai in Heishan. There are still remnants in Baimuzhai that have not been completely wiped out." Qin Xiao said calmly: "Bringing Du Zitong back and annihilating the remnants of Baimuzhai will naturally be half the result with half the effort."
Wang Heng shook his head and said: "No, even if you want Du Zitong to help annihilate the remnants of the bandits, you still have to wait until the trial of the Duhu Mansion. After our trial, if the general agrees, he will naturally send someone to you. Don't forget, Northeast
The Liaodong Army is responsible for suppressing bandits."
"In that case, why did the Liaodong Army not wipe out the Black Mountain bandits who occupied the mountains for ten years and caused harm to all parties?" Qin Xiao sneered: "What the Liaodong Army can't do, our Long Rui Army can do it. Now the remnants of the party are about to be wiped out."
, but you want to take people away, why, do you want to stop us from clearing out the rebels?"
Wang Heng changed his color and said angrily: "You...you are such a mouthful!"
"I have already reported the matter to the saint about the suppression of bandits." Qin Xiao looked sternly and said, "The Duhufu placed Long Rui's army in Songyang grassland for training. The Black Mountain bandits were lying next to them. This is obvious.
The task of eradicating the Black Mountain bandits was left to Long Rui's army. Otherwise, why would the Duhufu place the training facility under the Black Mountain? There are some rumors that someone behind the scenes wants to use the hands of the Black Mountain bandits to get rid of Long Rui.
Army, I don’t believe this at all. I would rather believe that this is an opportunity for Long Rui’s army to practice actual combat with the Dufufu and the General, and I don’t believe that someone borrowed a knife to kill people. Mr. Wang, you are the Chief of the Duhufu, the Chief of the History.
Your responsibility is to assist the Lord Protector in taking charge of local military affairs and public security, and to arrange the training place for Long Ruijun. Naturally, it is up to you to participate in the decision-making. I dare to ask, are you the Protectorate, should you give Long Ruijun an opportunity to train, or...
...Is it really like the rumor that you are going to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Wang Heng's expression became even more ugly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He could only say: "Of course... of course I will give you a chance to train."
"That's what I guess." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "So Sir Chang Shi handed over the heavy responsibility of clearing out the Black Mountain Bandits to Long Ruijun, and Long Ruijun also understood the profound meaning of Lord Protector and Lord Chang Shi. No
Let me disappoint you. Although the Liaodong Army guards the four northeastern counties, the power of mobilization lies with the Duhufu. Even General Wang must obey the orders of the Duhufu. Since Lord Chang Shi has handed over the task of clearing out the Black Mountain bandits to Long
Ruijun, then this matter has nothing to do with the Liaodong Army. Now there is still one last fire left to completely extinguish the Black Mountain bandits, and Du Zitong is this fire. Could it be that at this time, Master Chang Shi wants to put this fire out?
Put out the fire?"
The officials of the Tang Dynasty discussed the matter of suppressing bandits in Zhenyu Khan's tent, and their words were tit-for-tat. Everyone present was astonished as they had never experienced such a scene before.
Most people knew that Qin Xiao was extraordinary in martial arts, but they didn't expect that his tongue was so sharp and he actually left Wang Heng speechless.
At this moment, the tent door opened and Lu Xiaolou was seen walking back calmly. He saluted Wu Qinghan, then returned to Qin Xiao and sat down.
Wang Dongjun and others stared at the tent door, but did not see Song Ke coming in. They immediately felt a sense of ominousness. Wang Dongjun couldn't help but ask: "Where is Song He?"
"He was carried down to be treated for his injuries." Lu Xiaolou poured himself a bowl of wine, drank it all, and said, "There are doctors here in the sweat tent. If they handle it in time, they should be able to survive."
He said it very calmly, but it made everyone else's expression change.
"You...!" Wang Heng said in horror: "You won?"
Lu Xiaolou said expressionlessly: "He fell, but I am still alive. Who do you think won?"
Wang Dongjun's pupils contracted.
"Song Ke, a disciple of Liaodong Zhanyue Ni Dao Sect, a third-grade swordsman, is also a famous figure in the Northeast." Lu Xiaolou said lightly: "It's a pity that although he is outstanding among his peers, his sword skills are not as good as his master's.
He's still not ready." He looked at Wang Dongjun and asked, "When did he join the Liaodong Army? A third-grade swordsman is just a ranger general in the Liaodong Army, so he feels a little wronged. He really wants to serve you, so you should too.
Give him a good general." Having said this, he glanced at Qin Xiao beside him.
He followed Qin Xiao to join the Long Rui Army, but he was only a sixth-grade captain, one step lower than a fifth-grade guerrilla general. He was speaking to Wang Dongjun, but he was clearly complaining to Qin Xiao that his official position was too high.
Low, not worthy of his own skill.
Qin Xiao only knew Song Ke's true identity at this time, and was a little surprised. Although he knew that Song Ke was a practicing master, he didn't expect that he turned out to be a third-grade swordsman.
He knew that Lu Xiaolou's cultivation was only at the third level, and the two were equally strong. However, seeing that Lu Xiaolou's whole body was intact, and even his clothes were not messed up, it seemed that the victory was easy. If it was a third level vs. a third level, it shouldn't be so easy.
Could it be that this kid has secretly broken through to the third level?
At this time, Yang Chiji also entered the tent and said to Wang Dongjun: "Dear guest, don't worry. Although your subordinate has a broken arm and a knife in the chest, and he is bleeding, but we have asked the doctor to stop the bleeding in time, so there will be no
Worry for life."
"Did you chop off his arm?" Wang Dongjun stared at Lu Xiaolou with a cold look in his eyes, and the squinting eyes on his lower head also had a cold look on his face.
"Miss!" Lu Xiaolou said simply: "But Zhan Yue Ni Dao Sect only practices left-handed swords. His left arm is broken. If he still wants to use the sword, he will have to start from scratch." He looked up at Wang Dongjun and said,
Said: "If you only like his sword skills, then to you, he is just a useless person now."
