Chapter 543 I have a question, do you dare to answer it?
The Prime Minister went to the palace.
Xiao Yuanche is in the middle, sitting behind the desk.
The civil and military figures on the left and right were lined up on both sides, and everyone seemed to be in a happy mood.
Huang Kuijia couldn't hold himself back, and jumped out first, laughing and saying: "My lord, today's battle is so exciting! Brother Bulang is really capable. The Zang Xuanba who killed him can only parry, but has no power to fight back. It's just a pity that the old thief Shen Jizhou ordered the entire army to attack. If it had been a little later, the birdman Zang Xuanba would have been captured by Brother Bulang! However, Brother Bulang has also made a contribution, does the Prime Minister get it? Give me a reward! Hey, where is my brother Bulang? Why aren't you here?"
Huang Kuijia said, looking around the hall, but Lin Bulang was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Yuanche glared at Huang Kuijia and said angrily: "You big blackhead, you are being stupid again, aren't you? Lin Bulang is just a cavalry captain... How can he have a place here!"
Huang Kuijia then scratched his black head and said with a smile: "That is also the Cavalry Commander of the Regret Heavenly Guard... If I don't take credit for him, why don't I ask others to speak up?"
Xiao Yuanche then said calmly: "Okay, let's wait for the army commander to talk about these rewards. This time, we will record them in the merit book... Retreat for now... Wait for Su Ling to come back!"
Huang Kuijia nodded and stepped aside with satisfaction.
Everyone waited for some time, but still did not see Su Ling return.
Xiao Yuanche was a little worried. He turned back to look at Guo Baiyi and said: "Baiyi... At this time, that boy Su hasn't come back yet... Will something unexpected happen? That Zhang Wu Yi’s ability is very powerful..."
Guo Baiyi smiled lightly, confident
: "No worries, my lord, but relax, our Su Changshi is not very capable? But there is no harm in waiting!"
Xiao Yuanche felt at ease now, nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Su is quite capable, unlike some people who know nothing, fight one or two battles, and have to rest for eight or nine days... .. He even shamelessly grabbed the top spot, and there were a bunch of idiots who followed suit and held him up to the sky... That was the case with that bullshit Xu Shao from Binan back then, and he ended up with a different body and head. What happened...Now, here, there are some good people who don't want to imitate, but they also imitate this kind of people..."
As he spoke, he looked around the hall thoughtfully.
There were indeed a few people who slowly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at them.
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "My lord, Su Changshi has returned!"
Only then did Xiao Yuanche laugh loudly and said: "It seems that this kid is done... That's all. It's the first time Zhang Chunyi comes to our place. Don't wait any longer. Go out and pick him up!"
Just when Xiao Yuanche was about to stand up, the soldier said solemnly: "Lord, there are only Su Changshi and Mr. Xu outside the door...no one else is seen..."
"Um?"
Xiao Yuanche had already stood up. After hearing this, he sat back down again, looked at Guo Baiyi suspiciously and said: "This bastard... what is he doing? Didn't I say that I will bring him back today?" Zhang Wuyi..."
Guo Baiyi smiled and said: "My lord, please calm down for a moment. Let's call him in and ask him clearly!"
Xiao Yuanche then ordered Su Ling to come in.
After a while, Su Ling and Xu Youzhi walked away one after the other.
Enter the central hall.
The two of them cupped their hands, and Xu Youzhi retreated to the side of the civil servant.
Xiao Yuanche then said calmly: "Su Ling, where is Zhang Kuyi?"
Su Lingman said nonchalantly: "Let's go, put it back..."
That look seemed to make sense to him.
"Haha..." Xiao Yuanche laughed angrily at Su Ling and pointed: "Who boasted about Haikou yesterday and said that Zhang Buyi will be surrendered today?"
Su Ling shrugged and said: "He doesn't want to surrender. I can't beat him. Prime Minister, you love him and cherish him. We can't use force. Apart from letting him go, what can we do..."
"Hey, judging from what you mean, you feel that the fault is mine, not yours... Let's talk about it. If you didn't accomplish your task, how should I punish you..."
After saying this, Xu Jinghu, Xia Yuanrang, Xiao Jianshu and others on the side had bright expressions on their faces, as if they were watching a good show.
Su Ling smiled and said: "What the Prime Minister said is true. As long as the boy's life is spared, I can be beaten or scolded... But if I really want the boy to speak for himself, then I will punish him to guard the old Zhang city gate tonight."
, Isn’t it nice to be a janitor all night?”
As he spoke, he moved closer to Xiao Yuanche, and then lowered his voice and said, "I have an unkind request, and I hope the Prime Minister will agree to it."
Xiao Yuanche said calmly and in a low voice: "You tell me first."
"I don't know how to guard the city gate...but I want the Prime Minister to give me a secret order, which is to open the old Zhangbei City Gate at midnight tonight..."
Xiao Yuanche hesitated for a while, then turned to look at Guo Baiyi with questioning eyes.
Guo Baiyi had a smile on his face and slowly
He nodded slowly.
"Okay... Then let's punish Su Ling as a city gate captain for one night!"
............
Shen Jizhou's camp, the Chinese army's commander's tent.
Shen Jizhou's face was ashen as he sat behind the desk.
On the left are Guo Tu and Pang Ji; on the right are Zang Xuanba and a cadre general.
Under the writing desk in the tent, Zhang Wuyi knelt there without saying a word.
Shen Jizhou stared at Zhang Chuyi coldly, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Chuyi, do you know your guilt?"
Zhang Chunyi's face was expressionless and he said calmly: "The general will finally be found guilty... Please forgive me, my lord!"
"you......"
Zhang Chuanyi's answer was beyond Shen Jizhou's expectation. He had never expected that Zhang Chunyi would confess his guilt so simply without even defending himself.
Shen Jizhou sneered and said: "Haha, you are willing to plead guilty... Let me ask you, the military order is clearly written, what should you do if you and Zang Xuanba cannot take the old Zhangcheng today?"
Guo Tu took advantage of the situation and said, "You should be questioned and killed!"
In one word, the terrified Pangji and all his subordinates changed their expressions, and they all fell to their knees with a roar.
Pangji kowtowed and said: "My lord, calm down! The war is not going well now. General Zhang and General Zang are the most important support of our army. If they are both killed, who will be the general?"
"Lord, think twice!..."
All the generals also begged for mercy in unison.
But Zang Xuanba slowly knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, I will die with you... It's just that we can't capture Jiuzhang today. Although we are responsible, there is a sound of gold in the lord's formation.
Then the troops were withdrawn and returned to the camp... If you want to ask for a crime, the person who advised the lord to withdraw the troops should also be guilty. If it weren't for him, the outcome of today's battle would still be unknown..."
Um?
Guo Tu's eyes suddenly widened and his head grew three times bigger.
Without him, he is the one who speaks in front of the battle and calls for gold to withdraw the troops.
Guo Tu was desperate and jumped to his feet and shouted: "Zang Xuanba, don't bite randomly. Zhang Chunyi was led away by Su Ling. The situation is unknown. And you and Lin Bulang fought with all your strength. If I don't say anything, you What's the end result? Instead, you blame me!"
How could Zang Xuanba give up? He glared at Guo Tu coldly and said, "What you said is true. Mr. Guo, when will you learn kung fu? Why don't you practice it and let me open my eyes?"
In a word, the faces of the generals mentioned all had sullen expressions.
How dare Guo Tu give up? He put his arms on his hips, jumped on his feet, waggled his lips and cluttered his tongue, and was messing around for a while.
Zang Xuanba retorted and refused to give in.
For a moment, except for Shen Jizhou and Zhang Buyi who were speechless, the entire handsome tent was in a commotion.
Shen Jizhou was upset for a while, and suddenly he patted the table and said angrily: "We keep arguing all day long, you are all talkative women! Leave me alone!"
Guo Tu and Zang Xuanba then glared at each other, the one who was kneeling continued to kneel, and the one who stood aside stepped back.
Shen Jizhou thought for a moment, and then said with a broad-minded look: "That's all, I'll send you my fault for now. It's just that the military order has been established. How can it be trivial? I will give you another chance. Next time we fight, we will definitely do it." We must go all out to capture Jiuzhang!"
Zang Xuanba then clasped his fists and said loudly: "Here! Thank you, Lord, I will definitely go all out!"
As he spoke, he secretly pulled Zhang Buyi who was kneeling beside him.
However, for some reason, Zhang Wuyi still knelt there upright without saying a word.
Shen Jizhou snorted and flicked his sleeves, wanting everyone to
Dispersed.
Guo Tu suddenly said loudly: "Lord, I won't mention this matter for now, but there is another matter. I should ask you clearly!"
Shen Jizhou asked in confusion: "Guo Qing, what else can I do?"
Guo Tu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, you have forgotten. What Su Ling said before today's battle seems to be that Zhang Chunyi wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to Su Ling... Don't you want to ask about that letter?" What exactly was said?"
With one word to remind Shen Jizhou, Shen Jizhou's face suddenly became gloomy again.
"Zhang Wuyi, tell me...what is going on..." Shen Jizhou stared at Zhang Wuyi and said.
Zhang Chunyi then looked indifferent, bowed slowly, and said indifferently: "I have never written any letters! I don't know why Su Ling said this!"
With these words, Zhang Buyi stopped speaking and continued to kneel there expressionlessly.
"Haha..." Shen Jizhou was so angry that he pointed with his hand and said: "What you said... Who is Su Ling? There are so many people in front of the two armies. Maybe it’s a bit exaggerated, but at least half of the ten sentences are true!”
In fact, Shen Jizhou really overestimated Su Ling. There was not a word of truth in what he said, it was all nonsense.
"The general has already said that he has never written any letters to him... If my lord doesn't believe it, the general has nothing to say!"
Zhang Chunyi finished speaking expressionlessly and remained silent again.
"you!......"
Shen Jizhou became angry and slammed the table and shouted: "Zhang Buyi, do you really think I won't kill you?"
Zang Xuanba felt that Zhang Chuanyi was also a little abnormal, but in order to keep him
To save his life, he quickly kowtowed and said: "My lord, please don't fall for Su Ling's plan... How could Zhang Chunyi do such a thing when he only wants to serve the Bohai Sea? My lord, please be clear to me!"
Pang Ji also quickly raised his hands and said: "My lord... the confusing words in front of the battle are most likely fabricated... I have something to say, and I will send this matter to you when the old enemy is captured." On the day of Zhangzhi, search the residences of Xiao Yuanche and Su Ling. If there is such a letter, you will know after a search. I don’t know what the lord thinks..."
Shen Jizhou thought for a while. He also knew that Su Ling had many tricks. He really couldn't deal with Zhang Buyi just because of the enemy general's words. Otherwise, if the news spread, his image would be damaged.
He then suppressed his anger and said: "Forget it, just follow Pang Qing's words and capture Jiuzhang, and then we'll see what happens!"
As he said that, he waved his sleeves again, as if to leave.
But at this moment, Zhang Buyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke boldly.
He stared at Shen Jizhou intensely and said word by word: "The doubts in my lord's heart have been temporarily eliminated, but the general has asked me again. I wonder if my lord dares to answer!"
"Um--"
Shen Jizhou suddenly turned his head and shot a beam of light towards Zhang Buyi.
