He shook his head.

"I don't think the Xiliang soldiers who can kill Zhong Changrong can be defeated by just a dozen of us."

"or--"

He looks at the soldier.

"Relying on your agreement, let the Xiliang soldiers retreat, but this is not tragic and brave."

Hearing his words, another soldier smiled: "Lieutenant Liang is very thoughtful." He raised his chin, "We won't let them escape this time. This time, Captain Liang must kill them all with his own hands, because Zhong Changrong's help is needed." I have seen this scene with my own eyes.”

"And of course it won't just rely on a dozen of us. At this time, there is a troop of hundreds of soldiers patrolling not far away, and we have placed people among them."

He pulled out five Mingdi from his back.

"When Lieutenant Liang enters the enemy, it would be better if Zhong Changrong is dead. If he is not dead, we will take the opportunity to kill him and shoot Ming Di at the same time."

"Our people will immediately lead that army over, so that Captain Liang can show his bravery, but he won't be outnumbered and die in battle."

Liang Qiang reached out to take the Mingdi, and looked at it in her hand: "Sure enough." Without waiting for the soldiers to speak, she raised her head and looked forward, took off the bow and crossbow, "Then let us kill the enemy."

After that, he urged the horse to gallop forward.

Before the soldiers could react, they looked at each other with ridicule and disdain in their eyes.

"So impatient."

"Of course, Captain Liang hasn't had a chance to show his bravery for a long time."

They were talking and laughing in low voices, but at the same time, their eyes looking forward became weird, and the joking that had come to their lips turned into a distorted cry.

"Do not--"

There was a sharper crackle over their cries.

Liang Qiang, who was galloping ahead, raised his bow and crossbow on horseback, and shot Ming Dysprosiums into the sky.

Ming Dy burst with a sharp whistling, and gorgeous flowers bloomed in the sky that had just been swallowed by twilight.

The faces of the soldiers seemed to be torn apart, unbelievable.

They want to see this scene, but not now!

Now that reinforcements are being brought in, everything is disrupted!

Liang Qiang definitely did not release Ming Di because of a mistake!

He did it on purpose!

"Chasing—" The soldiers rushed to catch up, looking at the young general galloping ahead, full of anger, "This damned puppet, he wants to die, let him die this time!"

Senhan stared behind him, screaming angrily, Liang Qiang didn't care, and shot five Ming Dysprosiums into the sky, as if he had relieved a heavy burden.

The body that was always heavy became relaxed, and it seemed as if it was about to fly when riding on horseback.

He pulled the bow and crossbow and galloped forward regardless. After crossing a few hillsides, he heard the sound of fighting and saw people fighting in melee.

His whole body was burning with excitement.

Just now, there was one thing that he finally figured out.

He had a brave heart, everyone saw it, even he himself believed it.

But all he has is a heart.

A gallant heart is nothing if it cannot be transformed into gallant deeds.

Also, how can it be regarded as no loss?With the death of Zhong Changrong and the death of the commander-in-chief of the Daxia frontier army, the morale of the army and the people of Daxia will be damaged, as will the prestige of Daxia!

He can indeed replace Zhong Changrong.

But is he the one who replaced Zhong Changrong?

It's just a Liang Qiang who has no courage and ambition.

Will such Liang Qiang become the glory of the Great Xia and the blessing of the people?

Can such Liang Qiang's reputation be recorded in the annals of history?

What does Liang Qiang like this have to do with him?

The men and horses fighting in front could already be seen clearly, the chilly light of the knife, the flying flesh and blood, in the night that gradually opened, it was like the palace of hell.

Just let such Liang Qiang die in this hall of hell.

Liang Qiang's eyes lit up with fire, she swung the long knife and shouted.

"Reinforcements are coming—"

"Reinforcements are coming—"

"The thief from Xiliang died—"

……

……

Reinforcements?The soldiers and horses fighting in the melee heard the sharp cry that tore through the world.

Zhong Changrong swung his knife to split a huge axe, and the knife didn't stop moving forward, and it fell on the soldier holding the huge axe. The Xiliang soldier uttered a scream and fell to his knees, his head rolled off, blood spattered.

Through the blood mist, Zhong Changrong saw a young general running towards him in the distance, and jumped into the boiling fight without hesitation.

Like a stone dropped into the sea.

One, reinforcements?

He looked over again, and there were more than a dozen people in the distance——

This is not enough, but it doesn't matter if there are reinforcements or not.

Zhong Changrong didn't feel the slightest ripple in his heart. He swung his long knife and cut off the enemy soldiers rushing from behind.

……

……

Even if a small stone is thrown into the sea, it still splashes ripples.

The cries of reinforcements made the Xiliang soldiers who had sneaked up a little flustered.

"There's only one of them—"

"more than ten--"

"do not be afraid--"

But soon the shouting became chaotic, because the ground was shaking, and the night not far away became brighter, as if a fiery snake had come out of the ground.

It came meandering, turned into several, spread out on the ground, and surrounded.

"Reinforcements—"

"Big Xia's reinforcements are here—"

Chapter 64 Questions

(half a month later)

"...The attack was a crazy move by the second prince. He wasn't actually targeting Da Xia, but just to compete with the third prince."

"Because the third prince captured Shipo City, he won the appreciation of the king. The eldest prince is no longer here. The king has lost his mind and body this time, so he decided to pass the throne to the third prince."

"The second prince is not reconciled, and wants to do a great thing to win the king's favor."

"Your Majesty has beheaded the second prince to General Zhong to make amends, and is willing to add a thousand horses to the contract..."

At this point, Zhu Yongnian closed the booklet in his hand and looked at Zhong Changrong who was lying on the bed.

"The censors and inspectors have accepted the apology from the King of Xiliang, so they will not launch another crusade. General Zhong, can you accept it?"

Without waiting for Zhong Changrong to speak, he first stated his point of view.

"If you disagree, General Zhong, I will persuade them."

He put more emphasis on persuasion.

Zhong Changrong, who was lying on the bed, showed a slight smile. He knew what Zhu Yong meant, and the truce with Xiliang was to negotiate a peace. Although the court officials were in charge, in the end, Zhong Changrong would prevail.

This is the queen's will.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu." Zhong Changrong said, looking at a head on the table beside him. This is the head of the second prince of Xiliang, "It's enough to stop here."

Zhu Yong asked again: "General Zhong, don't have any scruples."

Zhong Changrong shook his head: "No, it is right to stop the war here. We have already obtained what we want. If we continue to fight, it will be revenge for Xiliang and a disaster for Daxia."

Zhu Yong was sure of his intentions, and nodded: "I understand, I'm going to finalize this matter with the adults."

Zhong Changrong said: "Please wait a moment." After speaking, he raised his voice and called Xiaoshan.

Someone kicked and kicked in from outside the door.

"Xiaoshan, give Master Zhu the investigation of Yu Shang."

Hearing the order, Xiao Shan hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms.

Zhu Yong took it.

"We met a businessman who claimed to be from Daxia in Xiliang. When we wanted to catch him, he suddenly committed suicide." Zhong Changrong said, "After investigation, this businessman was surnamed Yu, born in Yunzhong County, and his family was in the capital. For more than ten years, he has been doing business between the capital and Yunzhong County."

Looking at the records and portraits in the brochure, Zhu Yong outlined a very common and ordinary small businessman. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't speak. He just looked at Zhong Changrong and waited for him to continue.

Zhong Changrong was silent, and paused for a moment before saying: "Actually, I don't know what to say. I'm just guessing. The merchants in Daxia do do business with people from Xiliang, and there are also merchants who sneak into Xiliang territory, but that's all in the wild. During the war, at this time now, a businessman from Daxia appeared in Xiliang territory and committed suicide when he was about to be captured by the people of Daxia. I think there is something wrong with him, and I am worried—"

He looked at Zhu Yong.

"This problem is in the capital."

Zhu Yong looked at Yu Shang's portrait thoughtfully.

"Also." Zhong Changrong said again, "Although the king of Xiliang said that the second prince attacked me by accident, the second prince didn't know it was me and just ran into me, but I always feel that there is still something wrong with this attack."

Zhu Yong looked up at him: "General Zhong thinks this is actually a conspiracy against you?"

Zhong Changrong smiled: "I have been sleepy for half a month, thinking a little too much, and I also thought of Shipo City."

Zhu Yong frowned and said, "General, what do you mean is that there is a problem with the capture of Shipo City?"

Zhong Changrong shook his head and nodded again: "I know that no matter how tight the defense is, there will be loopholes. It has been checked that Shipo City was captured by surprise, but if there is no problem, there may be a problem instead."

When he said this, he smiled wryly again.

"But all I can say is that I think there's no evidence whatsoever."

Zhu Yong smiled, put away the brochure, and said: "The general doesn't need to provide it. The duty of our arch guard is to ask questions from the empress. We will do everything else. Don't worry, general, I will pass it on to the guard of the capital immediately." Division, let them investigate secretly."

Zhong Changrong sighed with relief: "I was always worried about the queen. The general is gone, and she doesn't have a solid family. Now I am relieved, she is not alone."

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "The general is worrying too much. After the queen is a country, she will never be alone." Looking at Zhong Changrong's weak face, he said no more, and bowed to leave, "The general has a good rest."

Zhong Changrong nodded and watched Zhu Yong go out.

"General, do you want some water?" Xiao Shan asked.

Zhong Changrong snorted: "It's rare that I can also enjoy the service of Captain Xiaoshan."

Xiao Shan picked up the teapot beside him and poured water, saying, "It's not a service, it's just a bowl of water."

He came over with water, sat on the edge of the bed, helped Zhong Changrong sit up and fed him, looked at Zhong Changrong's pale face, and sighed softly.

This kid also knew that he felt sorry for him, Zhong Changrong sighed.

"I don't know how the young master is doing now. When he left, his face was paler than yours, General." Xiao Shan said sadly.

Zhong Changrong resisted spraying Xiao Shan's face, swallowed it, and said, "Don't worry, there is someone who can take better care of him than you."

After saying this, Zhong Changrong didn't feel happy, instead he was stunned and even angrier.

That brat won't really let Ah Zhao take care of him!

The two were distracted, the window slammed, and someone came in——

Xiao Shan stood up, and the water in his hand splashed Zhong Changrong's face: "Who is it!"

Then I saw the person by the window, it was a woman.
