After a lot of verbal exchanges, I finally heard the high-pitched voice and laughed and said: "Zhai Master Wen is very eloquent. It seems that I have indeed been offended. I will sincerely apologize to Guizhai."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then he heard three consecutive "dong-dong-dong" sounds outside the door, and then the high-pitched voice said leisurely: "I bow my head three times. I wonder if Lord Wen can forgive me?"
Wen Huchen was immediately stunned, and everyone else was dumbfounded. Wen Lihua first said to herself: "Your envoy is so pretentious and has no sincerity in even apologizing. Isn't it deplorable?"
The high-pitched voice said with a sneer: "This must be Miss Wen. I'm glad to meet you. However, Miss Wen's words are too hurtful. I sincerely seek to see you, but Guizhai is closed to the public as if facing a formidable enemy."
If you don’t accept it, wouldn’t it be chilling?”
There was also a hint of sarcasm in his complaint. Wen Lihua raised her eyebrows and was about to refute it, but she heard Zheng Kaizhou slowly say: "We are indeed a little negligent, but we don't know what your envoy wants to do here.
It’s best to receive them as appropriate.”
The high-pitched voice coughed and said: "This is of course Military Advisor Zheng, whose name I have admired for a long time. You can put away your hostility. This time, I am following King Xiang's oral instructions and made a special trip to deliver New Year's gifts to Guizhai.
I hope Master Wen will accept it."
Wen Huchen and Zheng Kaizhou looked at each other, and Zheng Kaizhou said calmly: "Our general appreciates King Xiang's kindness, but our families have never been related. As the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit, so please take back the gift.
"
The high-pitched voice was unmoved. Instead, he snorted slightly and said: "I haven't seen the gift yet, so why should Military Advisor Zheng reject it outright? Gold, silver, money, and grain are naturally not rare in your village, but King Xiang's gifts are all carefully selected.
Guizhai must agree."
Wen Huchen couldn't help but snorted coldly, and Zheng Kaizhou said understandingly upon seeing this: "It's even more difficult to accept kindness in vain. The ancients said: 'The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water', so your envoy will report back to King Xiang truthfully."
The high-pitched voice seemed to be stagnant, and then he sighed and said with a smile: "Well, today I have learned how to treat guests in Guizhai. Since the master of Wen Village refuses people thousands of miles away, why should I be more forbearing?"
?”
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a banging sound as the door opened, and something flew in like lightning.
Wen Huchen's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "How dare you, Zhu Zi!"
There was no need for Wen Huchen to do it himself. Huangfu Yingyang had already quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed the thing in his palm with a flick of his body. When he took a closer look, it was a rope-lined linen bag. It was a round ball inside and stained with blood on the outside.
Everyone present, except Xing Zhiying, was a battle-hardened person and had already seen that this was a head.
Wen Huchen couldn't help but feel furious. He pulled out his sword with a livid face and was about to rush out the door to meet the king's envoy.
However, Zheng Kaizhou frowned and waved his hand to stop him: "General, wait a minute, this head was not beheaded recently, there may be something fishy in it."
As soon as Wen Huchen woke up, Huangfu Yingyang didn't hesitate. He cut off the tether on the pocket with a wave of his fingers, and sure enough, a human head wrapped in lime immediately rolled out.
Although Xing Zhiying experienced many thrills during this period, she still couldn't bear the bloody shock. Just when she was feeling sick, she saw the expressions of the other four people changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison: "Cha Baishou!"
Everyone was inexplicably shocked when they saw a scholar in white walking in leisurely, with a slight smile on his baby face, and said slowly: "This former Minister of War, Mr. Cha, once served as the commander-in-chief of Xiliang Tiger Guard. Everyone has seen him.
, I guess you didn’t kill the wrong person, right?”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, unable to tell whether they were sad or happy. After a long while, they heard Zheng Kaizhou's nonchalant voice: "As far as our village knows, this man was promoted after the war and was transferred to the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Central Plains Golden Armor Division. He has always been cited by Marshal Xiang as his right-hand man.
, there are many capable people and strangers around, how could he be given the head so easily?"
The scholar in white smiled and said: "What Military Advisor Zheng said is right, otherwise there would be no need for King Xiang to take action personally? After all, the Songshan Sect's Taichan Sword Formation is famous far and wide, and there is also an old and strong 'Shen Fist' that controls all directions.
'Rong Baisui was in charge, and even King Xiang spent a lot of effort before he finally succeeded."
Zheng Kaizhou was even more shocked, his eyes widened and he said: "King Xiang personally took action? This... is really a great achievement of labor."
Wen Huchen managed to calm down and solemnly clasped his fists as a courtesy and said: "Wen is deeply grateful to King Xiang for his righteousness in killing this traitor. I have offended many people just now. I hope your envoy will forgive me."
The scholar in white said nonchalantly: "Master Wen is too polite. As long as you are willing to accept this gift from King Xiang, it will be the greatest honor for me."
Wen Huchen's face heated up and he quickly said seriously: "This gift is indeed what I wanted, so even though I feel guilty about it, I will accept it."
After he said this, he couldn't help laughing loudly, and he burst into tears without realizing it. Wen Lihua and Zheng Kaizhou were also in tears. Only Huangfu Yingyang looked gloomy, shook his head and sighed softly: "Lao Guo and brothers Zuo Wei have been wronged
, I finally repaid a little bit today, but it’s a pity that things have changed and people have changed, alas..."
The scholar in white looked Huangfu Yingyang up and down, and said with confusion on his face: "I wonder what I call this old man, and what is his role in Guizhai?"
Huangfu Yingyang said mockingly: "You are just a loser who didn't have time to avenge your old friend. His name is not worth mentioning. But can you tell me your surname?"
The scholar in white cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Tong Hua. I call myself Tu Sheng. I am just a pawn under King Xiang."
Everyone then clasped their fists in greeting. After hearing this, Tong Hua said in surprise: "It turns out that this is Miss Wen. I almost made a mistake."
Wen Lihua said calmly and generously: "The little girl is naturally not as beautiful as Miss Xing. Doesn't the young master seem to be disappointed?"
Tong Hua laughed and said, "Miss Wen has misunderstood. I just never thought that you would be so... dignified and virtuous, far from what I expected."
"Heh... in short, it's excellent, very good."
Seeing Tong Hua's meaningful smile, Wen Lihua coughed lightly and said with a blush on her face: "Thank you Mr. Tong for the compliment. King Xiang gave you such a great gift. We are all deeply touched by it. We don't know if King Xiang has any difficulties. Let's
Can our village be able to use up its meager resources?"
Wen Huchen also nodded and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter what your envoy has to do. Wen will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Tong Hua's expression calmed down a little, and he immediately said in a serious voice: "Don't misunderstand me, King Xiang is not deliberately showing kindness. It is purely out of admiration for the leader of Wen Village that he gave his full help."
Wen Huchen was secretly surprised. Tong Hua smiled mysteriously and said, "Besides, this young master has brought a total of three gifts. This is just the first one. You have seen them all, so it is not too late to be polite."
Wen Huchen was surprised and confused when he heard this. He thought that the first gift was already as heavy as Mount Tai, so how valuable should the remaining two be?
Tong Hua looked at his face and coughed dryly and said, "Speaking of this second gift, has anyone in Wen Village's main army been lost recently?"
