Everyone stopped for a night in Shaohua Mountain. Chao Yong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Shi Xiu hurried back to Weizhou. Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun accompanied Shi Jin to recuperate in Shaohua Mountain.
After Zhongshi Dao was removed from office, he disappeared. Weizhou is the place where Xiaozhong Jinglue Xianggong served as a Zhongshi, so everyone can only find Zhongshi Dao through Xiaozhong Jinglue Xianggong.
After another five or six days on the road, the four of them arrived in Weizhou.
It had been many years since Lu Zhishen escaped from Weizhou, but the soldiers guarding the city did not recognize Lu Tisha, who had killed Guanxi. Lu Zhishen had been on duty in the Jinglue Mansion for a long time, and he did not need to ask for directions when he entered the city.
Jinglue Mansion.
Lu Zhishen stepped forward and said to the guarding sergeant: "Please inform Mr. Xiang Zhongjinglue of Xiaozhong. He said that Lu Zhishen, the envoy of Daliang, wanted to see you."
Although Lu Zhishen has not been in the northwest for many years, the legend of the most powerful general in the Western Army obviously still exists.
When the two sergeants heard Lu Zhishen's name, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back and drew their swords.
Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "I was also under the command of Mr. Jinglue back then, and I didn't mean any harm. This time I came here to discuss something important with Mr. Jinglue. Please let me know, little brother."
After the two sergeants were shocked, they also felt that there was a bit of fuss. Although Daliang had captured Tokyo, Weizhou was still their world. Lu Zhishen and his party were only four people, so they should be the ones to be afraid of.
A sergeant put away his knife, clasped his fists at Lu Zhishen and said, "General, wait a moment, I'll report it right away."
After saying that, he turned around and went inside.
The other sergeant looked at Lu Zhishen and felt that if Lu Zhishen wanted to be tough, he would not be able to stop the most powerful general of the Western Army at that time, so he put away his sword immediately.
Not long after, the sergeant who had gone in to report came out and said, "My lord, the Prime Minister has invited four of you."
Now that the news of Daliang's capture of Tokyo has spread throughout the northwest, the four of them naturally knew that Zhong Shizhong would receive them.
The four of them followed the sergeant to the front hall and saw an old man with white beard and hair and a majestic face sitting in the hall waiting.
When Lu Zhishen saw the cultivator, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Lu Da, please refer to the Jinglue Xianggong."
But the seed master said in a deep voice: "You are now a great general, and I cannot bear your great gift."
Lu Zhishen touched his head and said: "No matter what, the Sa family was once under the command of the Prime Minister."
Master Zhong nodded and said: "You are the general of Daliang, and I am the general of Song Dynasty. You and I are enemies but not friends, so there is no need to reminisce about our old friendship. I wonder what you are doing here?"
Lu Zhishen was a little embarrassed when he heard what Master Zhong said. He grinned widely and said, "To be fair, Lu Zhishen came here to find out about Mr. Lue, the old planting manager."
Zhongshi also knew that Lu Zhishen was once his brother's most beloved general. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Although my brother was dismissed from his official position by the Song Dynasty, he will not become a rebellious official and traitor with you. You can go back."
If an ordinary person had said this, Lu Zhishen would have rushed up to him and punched him wildly. However, since the master was his former boss, he was not in a good position to do anything. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Chao Yong.
Chao Yong said with a smile: "Only virtuous people live in the world. Zhao Ji lost his virtue and caused chaos in the world. I, Daliang, acted on behalf of Heaven and rose up with the trend to wipe out the Song Dynasty. I was obeying the will of Heaven and responding to the people's will."
Seeing Lu Zhishen's expression of letting Chao Yong make the decision just now, Master Zhong couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?"
Chao Yong didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "I am Chao Yong, the prince of Daliang."
Hearing this, Master Zhong couldn't help but stand up, paused, stared at Chao Yong and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and replace you with the emperor?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Although I am from a martial arts background, I have heard about the reputation of General Zhong, so I came here in person to show my sincerity. Even if we fail to negotiate, General Zhong will probably not arrest me, the envoy of Daliang."
?”
Hearing what Chao Yong said, the cultivators sat down and said, "The little overlord is so brave. I admire him among the cultivators."
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms, pointed to the seats on both sides and said, "Please take a seat."
Chao Yong was not polite. He hugged his fists and sat on the left side.
Zhong Shizhong thought for a while and said: "The little overlord came all the way here, I'm afraid he wants to persuade my brother to submit to Daliang, and then use my brother's prestige in the Western Army to recruit the Western Army, right?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "To be honest with you, Mr. Chao, this is what Chao Yong meant."
Zhong Shizhong shook his head and said: "My Zhong family has been a general of the Song Dynasty for generations, and my brother will definitely not submit to you."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "The Song Dynasty was only established for more than a hundred years, and the Zhong family has only been a minister of the Song Dynasty for a few generations. Your ancestors must have been ministers of the previous dynasty, and finally changed their families and became ministers of the Song Dynasty. There is no family
Will he be buried with a dynasty?"
What Chao Yong said struck a chord with the seed master.
If he were alone, he could decisively reject any proposal from Daliang, but there was a huge family behind him, so he did not dare to make the decision easily.
Zhong Shizhong retorted: "Although you have captured Tokyo, most of the state capitals in the world are still in the hands of Song Dynasty officials. It is still unclear who will win and who will lose. Maybe it is not a burial but a revitalization?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I wonder if Zhao Ji's imperial edict has been delivered to my husband?"
Zhong Shizhong shook his head and said: "Little Overlord, is he referring to the imperial edict for us to submit to Daliang?"
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Exactly."
Master Zhong said: "I received it two days ago, but Tokyo fell into your hands. I'm afraid this imperial edict is also a forgery, right?"
Chao Yong naturally knew that this was the master's excuse for refusing to accept the order, so he smiled and said: "Then if I bring Zhao Ji here and let him declare the order to you personally, will you accept it or not?"
Hearing this, the seed master was stunned.
He can say that the imperial edict is a forgery, but the emperor can't say it is a fake. They are all court officials appointed by Zhao Ji himself. If they dare to really say that Zhao Ji is a fake emperor, they will also become treacherous officials and traitors.
Master Zhong thought for a while and then said: "Even if my emperor is unfortunate enough to fall into your hands, he will not surrender. How could he personally give you his ancestral kingdom?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I have captured both his father and son. Even if there are Zhao and Song royal families in this world, I don't know how many generations of collateral blood there is. Do you think he will save the lives of their father and son, or let those eight
What about relatives who can't be beaten with a pole to inherit his empire?"
Hearing this, the seed master was stunned again.
Chao Yong looked at Zhong Shizhong and said: "Are you loyal to Zhao Ji? Or do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to support your troops and become independent?"
Hearing this, the planting master hurriedly said: "My planting family has been loyal and loyal for generations, how can we support the army and stand on our own feet?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then why don't you accept the order?"
Hearing this, the seed master couldn't help but be speechless.
Although he would not support his own troops, he would not be willing to accept orders.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "If you don't support the troops and stand on your own, why don't you send troops to serve the king?"
Zhong Shizhong frowned and said: "Most of the Western Army has gone south to destroy Fangla. Only the soldiers and horses under my Zhong Family are stationed at the border to prevent Xixia from invading. Now that the world is in chaos and Xixia gets the news, they will definitely send troops to invade. If I lead troops there

, the northwest will fall into the hands of Xixia. Even if I want to send troops, my soldiers will not leave their homes at this time." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! Mobile users please go to m
