Zhou Ziru was sitting in the carriage. The carriage was bumping and shaking, but he was as steady as a mountain. His eyes were looking at Yi Xiaodao lying in front of him quietly.
At this time, Yi Xiaodao's face was covered in blood, and his lower body was twisted weirdly. It was obvious that his limbs were broken below the waist.
Zhou Ziru looked at a sword beside him. It was an heirloom sword passed down from his grandfather. The history of the sword was not that long, and the sword was not a famous sword, but it was very sharp. He doesn't know martial arts, he just wears it to show his identity.
Maybe this sword will come in handy this time.
As the carriage shook, the sunlight outside the carriage shone into the carriage, and Zhou Ziru's face flickered.
Zhou Ziru watched for a while before slowly moving. He grabbed Yi Xiaodao's legs and slowly straightened him over. Everyone has the ability to heal themselves, and the straightening was conducive to Yi Xiaodao's slow self-healing and would prevent his bones from growing crooked.
"Thank you...Thank you, Prime Minister Zhou..." Yi Xiaodao mumbled with his eyes still closed.
"I thought you fainted..." Zhou Ziru replied calmly.
Yi Xiaodao moved the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "I... also thought... Prime Minister Zhou was going to use... the heirloom sword..."
Zhou Ziru shook his head gently: "If you die, many things will become very troublesome." After a pause, he continued: "Is the other party very strong? Can he beat you like this?"
Yi Xiaodao wanted to nod, but Chi Xueyu's kick just hit him in the head, and he was running so fast that the pain was unbearable even if he moved. Yi Xiaodao gave it a try and gave up the idea.
"Chi...Xueyu...the two armies fought, and there were so many of them that he had a lot of advantages...we can't resist him..." Yi Xiaodao replied with difficulty: "Fighting alone...he will not be my opponent."
Zhou Ziru nodded: "Besides him, is there anyone around King Xigui who can fight?"
"I think...it's gone." Yi Xiaodao spat out a few words lightly, but there was no response. Zhou Ziru asked a few more questions, but couldn't answer.
Suddenly, the carriage shook, and a man jumped on the front of the carriage and opened the curtain: "Prime Minister Zhou, are you okay?" Zangyun, the fastest, came.
Zhou Ziru nodded: "I'm fine. How is the situation outside?"
"We were about to capture King Xigui, but he was surrounded by a group of black-armored soldiers, who were extremely difficult to deal with. However, we were not our opponents. We had just killed a few people when we heard the news of the withdrawal..."
Zhou Ziru sighed softly: "We can't just go all out and delay it, which will be detrimental to our army. Have you ever seen the man who injured Duke Wu Ding?"
Zangyun nodded: "I saw him. He is a middle-aged man. He is indeed somewhat capable. But I haven't had many fights with him, so I don't know the details."
"Don't trust me. Wu Dinggong was injured by that man." Zhou Ziru thought for a moment and said, "Find a way to lure him away so that he can't continue to pursue our army. You can try to kill him later."
"Yes!" Zang Yun was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Zhou Ziru: "By the way, where are the four of them from Shanshan?"
Zangyun turned around again and replied: "Gong Wuding ordered them to guard the important road north of Sichuan and Shu to prevent King Xigui from sending people to send a message to Beiyi. However, Duke Wuding also said that if we don't return one day, they will come and fight with us. I'll meet you later."
Zhou Ziru glanced at Yi Xiaodao lying in the carriage and chuckled: "Oh, the arrangements are quite detailed."
"You think of a way to lure away the powerful people in the Xigui Army. Leave the Xigui Army to me. Go ahead." Zhou Ziru replied simply.
Zangyun frowned and said, "Prime Minister Zhou, on your side..."
"Don't worry, I have Liang Ying and Mo Qianli here. What's more, I have grown legs myself, so it's not that easy for them to kill me."
"No, Prime Minister Zhou cannot be left unprotected." Zang Yun shook his head in response.
Zhou Ziru said in a deep voice: "Do you think I will lose to King Naxi?"
"Zangyun doesn't dare." Zangyun lowered his head quickly, not daring to disobey Zhou Ziru.
Zhou Ziru waved his hand: "Go ahead, you don't have to worry about this. On the other hand, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to you when you meet His Majesty."
Seeing that Zhou Ziru had made up his mind, Zangyun knew that it would be useless for him to say anything, so he had to turn around and leave to find others to discuss.
Not long after Zangyun left, Liang Ying came to the carriage and lifted the curtain: "Prime Minister Zhou, the people are here."
"Let him come up." Zhou Ziru replied.
Liang Ying grabbed Zou Wen, the eldest son of Xigui, and carried him onto the front board of the carriage. With his hand on the steel knife, Liang Ying rode his horse and followed closely beside the carriage, never leaving.
Zou Wen entered the carriage and was surprised when he saw Yi Xiaodao on the ground: "Is this...?"
Zhou Ziru stretched out his hand to signal: "My eldest son, I have not treated you well. Please sit down."
Zou Wen quickly regained his composure from the initial shock, and slowly sat down in the carriage: "Prime Minister Zhou."
"There was a shortage of military rations a few days ago. Please forgive me for treating the eldest son so poorly." Zhou Ziru said politely.
Zou Wen shook his head slightly: "There is a shortage of military rations in the army. Even Prime Minister Zhou has no food, but the guilty minister just changed from rice to white rice porridge. I am not stupid. I will keep this kindness of Prime Minister Zhou in mind." mind."
Zhou Ziru smiled casually, then pointed at Yi Xiaodao and said: "This is my grand lord of Daqi, Wu Dinggong Yi Xiaodao. He killed the enemy personally and fought bloody battles, which led to this. Before Wu Dinggong fell into coma, he mentioned the name 'Chi Xueyu' Ci, who is this person? Please give me some advice."
Hearing this, Zou Wen clenched his robe with both hands: "Prime Minister Zhou... I dare to ask, but my father is here?"
Zhou Ziru nodded and said: "The eldest son is indeed a loyal person. I think I have heard about it for a long time in the army, but I don't want to listen to rumors. Do you want to hear the truth from the truth? Yes, our army retreated in such a hasty way because it was defeated. The vanguard of King Xigui's army."
Zou Wen was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head: "I wonder if Prime Minister Zhou can trust me? If he can, I am willing to return alone and persuade my father to put down his weapons. Zou Wen is willing to shoulder the responsibility for my father's crimes!"
Zhou Ziru smiled slightly and said, "What's so difficult about this?"
Outside the carriage, Liang Ying retorted: "King Xigui led his troops to rebel against the imperial court. We finally captured you, and you use this as an excuse to go back? Prime Minister Zhou, you can't trust him!"
Zhou Ziru said angrily: "Do you have the right to speak here?"
On the other side of the carriage, Mo Qianli also appeared at the right time: "Prime Minister Zhou believes in him, but the armed forces do not!"
"Go down!" Zhou Ziru yelled angrily.
Liang Ying and Mo Qianli slowly rode their horses and put some distance between themselves and the carriage.
Zou Wen supported the bumpy carriage and stood up to salute: "Prime Minister Zhou, there is no need to be embarrassed, the guilty minister knows what to do."
Zhou Ziru was silent and said nothing more.
Zou Wen turned around and got out of the carriage. As soon as he got out, he turned back and said: "Prime Minister Zhou, Chi Xueyu has sinister martial arts and should not be underestimated. But the martial arts he practices rely on blood, and human blood is the best. If he absorbs enough human blood, He can be rejuvenated and return to his peak! As long as he has no blood to use, it will not be difficult to deal with him. The wheel battle is the best way to consume him."
Zhou Ziru nodded: "Thank you, eldest master, for your advice."
"You're welcome, Prime Minister Zhou." Zou Wen said lightly, turned around and jumped out of the carriage. The surrounding soldiers gathered around and took him away.
When Zhou Ziru saw Zou Wen walking away, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the carriage twice. Liang Ying and Mo Qianli appeared next to the carriage again. They changed their expressions of dissatisfaction and excitement on their faces, lowered their heads and said, "Prime Minister Zhou, Please give orders."
"You did a good job just now. Send an order to Jia Hai and the others. Chi Xueyu can rejuvenate himself by sucking blood. Be careful, or you will waste it in the battle!"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the enemy is less than ten miles away from our army!" A scouting colonel came over to report the enemy's situation.
Several people looked at each other, and Liang Ying burst into laughter.
"After the order is sent...you delay the pursuit for a while." Zhou Ziru said, leaning against the car window.
"The general has the order!" Liang Ying did not hesitate at all, and rode towards Xiang Chen from the direction of the guard. The soldiers and horses were noisy. Zhou Ziru's sigh was very soft, but Liang Ying still heard it...
Zhou Ziru turned to Mo Qianli and said, "You once went to Chuxiang to deliver supplies, do you know where to set up an ambush?"
Mo Qianli nodded: "There are four or five areas ahead, with high mountains and dense forests, where ambush can be set up."
Zhou Ziru said softly: "You take ten thousand troops and horses, and go to the front to set up an ambush. Place more flags in the first few dangerous places, but don't ambush the soldiers and horses. In the last dangerous place, ambush the soldiers and horses. But after he passes by, No way back again."
Mo Qianli secretly waited for Zhou Ziru's instructions for a few moments.
"After cutting off the return route, leaving 7,000 infantry troops to defend, you lead 3,000 cavalry troops, turn back to Sichuan and Shu, and regain the city on the road. I guess the people of Sichuan and Shu are still not convinced by Xigui. If the people of Sichuan and Shu come to help, you can It shouldn't be difficult to capture the three thousand cavalry, but if there are any we can't capture, just put it aside and go elsewhere."
"Every time you enter a city, you will be credited with a meritorious deed!"
Mo Qianli nodded gently: "The last general takes orders!"
After everything was arranged, Zhou Ziru leaned back in the car. When he looked at Yi Xiaodao again, his eyes shrank. I don't know when, the blood on Yi Xiaodao's face has disappeared, and there are no scars on his face...
Zangyun turned around and found everyone: "The Prime Minister has given us an order to lure away the man who injured Duke Wu Ding."
"What should Prime Minister Zhou do here?" Qingtian asked.
"Prime Minister Zhou said we don't need to worry, we just need to kill this person." Zangyun said.
The others wanted to ask again, but Jiahai said first: "This person can seriously injure Duke Wu Ding, and his strength will definitely not be inferior to mine. Prime Minister Zhou's arrangement is right. If you are worried about Prime Minister Zhou's safety, we can resolve it as soon as possible and then come back." Yes."
Compared to others, Jia Hai is quite strategic and good at making decisions. The rest of the people instinctively obeyed Jia Hai's words.
"Masters of the Heavenly Guard, wait a moment, Prime Minister Zhou has an order!" Liang Ying saw Qingtian Jiahai and others and rode after them.
Jiahai went up to greet him: "General Liang, what are your orders from Prime Minister Zhou?"
Liang Ying conveyed: "Prime Minister Zhou has an order to lead away Chi Xueyu, the Lord of Heavenly Guards. He is the one who injured Wu Dinggong. He can rejuvenate himself by sucking his blood, so be careful. Prime Minister Zhou has more words to say, but they will be wasted in the battle!"
When everyone in Chen Congwei heard this, they all took a breath of cold air. Rejuvenation, is there really such a miraculous magic in the world? However, when they heard that the wheel battle was over, everyone felt confident. No wonder Zhou Ziru ordered them to lure Chi Xueyu away. There are so many soldiers and horses here, there is really nothing he can do if they cause trouble.
"Thank you, General Liang, for telling me." Jiahai nodded.
Liang Ying took off the long spear hanging from the side of the horse and said, "I wish you all, Lord Heavenly Guards, to capture the thief in one battle!" After saying that, he patted his horse and headed towards the Xigui Army. There were about thousands of soldiers and horses following behind, which was a mighty force.
"Where are you going, Master Liang?" Tui Lin asked.
"Capture the thief!" Liang Ying did not look back.
