"I, the prefect, received a message from the Prefectural Mufu's Office yesterday, saying that there are envoys from Xuzhou today who are going to Xiangyang City via Jiangxia."
"You must be the envoy from Xuzhou, right? I wonder what your name is?"
Huang Zu sat on his crotch on the horse. Although his words were polite, his expression was quite arrogant.
Gao Yi thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "I, Gao Kun, am the envoy of Xuzhou."
Huang Zu's eyebrows narrowed and he looked slightly displeased, thinking that Gao Yi was an unknown person.
"Gao Kun? This name is quite unfamiliar!...Have you heard of it?"
On the surface, Huang Zu was asking several surrounding soldiers, but in fact, he was secretly reminding Gao Yi:
[In the realm of Jiangxia, if it is a dragon, you have to coil up, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down. It’s best not to look for trouble, otherwise you’ll die suddenly one day and you won’t even know how.】
Gao Yi was not angry at all. He decisively picked up the tiger skin and said nonsense:
"Prefect Huang, you have never heard of my name. This is normal."
"After all, I have just started serving as an official in Xuzhou. It's just that General Zhengnan, Xuzhou Mu, Shouchun Marquis, and Gaoyi are my cousins."
"Before coming to Jingzhou, my cousin said that forming an alliance with Jingzhou is a top priority. My cousin is not worried about other people coming! He has no choice but to invite me to Jingxiang to discuss the alliance. .”
As soon as these words came out, Huang Zu's eyes were slightly amazed, and the originally arrogant look on his face instantly calmed down and turned into a friendly look.
"It turns out that your Excellency is Shouchun Hou's cousin! How disrespectful and disrespectful!"
As he spoke, Huang Zu turned to look at Gan Ning on the bow of the boat and said coldly and proudly:
"Why don't Gan Ning evacuate the warships quickly and invite the distinguished guests to set sail? If it delays the alliance, can you bear the responsibility?"
Although Gan Ning felt unwilling to do so, he still bowed to Huang Zu and said:
"To report to the prefect, it is not that the general is forcibly blocking it, but that there are too many soldiers accompanying the envoy. If they are allowed to go to Xiangyang City, the general will be worried..."
Before Gan Ning could finish speaking.
Huang Zu's eyebrows were startled, and he looked around and found that there were two to three thousand Euphorbia soldiers on the ship. He couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
As Gan Ning said, if these three thousand Euphorbia soldiers were allowed to accompany the mission to Xiangyang City, trouble might arise.
"Brother Gao, although my subordinates are outspoken and heartfelt, what they say is indeed reasonable."
"Let's do this, you leave three hundred Halberds as escorts, and the rest of the Halberds should turn around and return home immediately."
Looking at Huang Zu with a pleasant look on his face.
Gao Yi curled his lips, thought for a moment, raised his fist towards Huang Zu, and asked:
"These three thousand Euphorbia soldiers are my bodyguards who were assigned to me because my cousin was worried that I, a scholar, would encounter bandits and robbers on the way. How could they be separated from me!"
"If I encounter an assassin's plot in the future, I wonder how Huang Taishou will explain to my cousin?"
"In addition, I would like to add one more thing: my father is my cousin's uncle, my mother is my cousin's aunt, and I am the only one in my family... I have said this, and the rest Can you take care of the matter?"
Huang Zu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Gan Ning. Neither of them could figure out what kind of relationship this was.
But all in all, they knew very well the relationship between this man and Gao Yi. It could be said that they were close to each other, breaking bones and connecting tendons.
Even Huang Zu, who was the governor of Jiangxia, didn't know how to answer.
It seemed that he saw Huang Zu's difficulty.
Gan Ning suddenly stepped forward, took the initiative to take over the responsibility, raised the golden ring knife in his hand, and said loudly:
"I don't care whose cousin you are or whose cousin you are. If you want to lead troops through here today, ask me if the golden ring knife in my hand is sharp."
Before Gao Yi could react, an elegant-looking white-robed Confucian general next to him suddenly pulled out the Green Dragon Sword from his waist, pointed it at Gan Ning, and said angrily:
"Don't be crazy, little thief, my sword is not bad at all!"
Gan Ning frowned and looked intently.
The man who saw the sword drawn was dignified and elegant, with a somewhat elegant face of a Confucian scholar, but there was a sense of heroism between his brows and eyes.
The long-term fighting has developed Gan Ning's very keen intuition, which made him secretly vigilant.
Thought: This person is definitely a master!
Instantly, the scene fell into silence.
When Huang Zu saw this, he quickly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Why bother?"
"From now on, everyone is our own people, why should we use swords against each other? Xingba, please put down the sword in your hand quickly!"
Seeing that Gan Ning had put down his weapons.
Gao Yi also said to the white-robed Confucian general: "Don't be rude. We came to Jingzhou to form an alliance this time. We are just relying on others."
"The host gives us face, and we are guests. If the host doesn't give us face, then we have no choice but to go home."
Gao Yi raised his fist towards Huang Zulue and pretended to leave. "Go ahead and order the fleet to turn around. The rear ship will become the front ship. Let's set sail and return to Jiujiang County now."
Huang Zu hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Hey! Brother Gao, what are you doing?"
"Now that the alliance has not been agreed upon, how can you just leave? You must put the overall situation first!"
Gao Yi didn't really want to leave, he just wanted to retreat in order to advance.
Therefore, Gao Yi sighed, seeming to have made some determination, and then said helplessly:
"Forget it! Forget it! I just want to give Brother Huang some face. Since this matter happened because of the two of them, let them make the decision!"
"If General Gan Ning under Brother Huang can defeat the commander-in-chief of our army, I will let the accompanying halberds return the way they came."
"If General Gan Ning loses, the accompanying Halberdier will follow the mission into Jingzhou. I wonder if General Gan Ning dares to fight?"
"Why don't you dare? I, Gan Ning, am a ranger. I killed wolves at the age of seven and leopards at the age of ten. How can I be afraid of a life-and-death fight?"
Gan Ning's temper was rising, and Huang Zu was ready to accept the matter before Huang Zu opened his mouth.
Huang Zu, who was still deep in thought, turned dark instantly. He glared at Gan Ning fiercely, and then asked the white-robed Confucian general:
"I wonder who your surname is, and what position you hold under Shouchun Hou?"
The white-robed Confucian general had no expression on his face, slowly sheathed his sword, clasped his fists and said, "I am Ye Baikui, a young general under my lord who is in charge of these three thousand Euphorbia warriors."
I heard the name Ye Baikui.
Huang Zu breathed a sigh of relief and made sure that he had never heard of this person.
He thought: Since Yuan Zuozong, Chu Lushan, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others are not strong generals, Gan Ning must be able to win against this person with his ability.
At this moment, if Gao Yi knew what Huang Zu was thinking, he would definitely sneer at him.
Although Yuan Zuozong, Chu Lushan and others were brave and good at fighting and had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, they were rare generals in the world.
But compared to Ye Baikui, they were still on a different level.
In the world of "Snow", Ye Baikui is praised by the world as: a handsome talent unique for 500 years. The Thirteen Armors of Spring and Autumn Period. The Great Chu Soldier Saint. Ranked first among the four famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period.
