Being reasonable means fighting without getting tired of deceit. No matter how Gao Ba Si Tie Mu'er and Hong Boyan Tie Mu'er reasoned, Zheng Xiong only had this reply, leaving the two of them speechless.
"You two, this is why, please come on!"
"Wait, I have something to say."
Zheng Xiong was a little confused. He didn't follow the procedure. I was so polite and played with you two, but you ended up giving me a suspense that would save someone under the knife. It was too much.
However, Hong Boyan Tiemuer's call to stop made Zheng Xiong a little curious and asked him.
"What else do you want?"
"Could the champion please borrow the land for an extension?"
What kind of thing is so mysterious? You still need to find a place. You don’t want to bite my ear!
"How about we just say it here."
Glancing at Gao Basi Temur, facing his suspicious look, Hong Boyan Temur still insisted on his words.
"Please also invite the champion Hou Chengquan."
There was no problem with Chengquan, but he couldn't joke about his own safety. However, seeing his unsightly figure and the crowd around him, he still nodded.
"Come with me!"
After walking out of the camp, under the gaze of Gao Basi Temü'er, Hong Boyan Temü'er walked out of the tent twisting and turning, leaning on a stick.
Arriving in front of Zheng Xiong, Zheng Xiong was followed by several soldiers. Upon seeing this, Hong Boyan Temu'er continued to ask.
"This matter is quite confidential. Can you talk to the Marquis alone?"
We have no intersection, and I don’t know you either. The more Hong Boyan Temuer behaves like this, the more wary Zheng Xiong becomes.
"That's it. If you have something to say, just say it. These are our own people, so it doesn't matter."
He is yours, not my own, but there is no good way. Hong Boyan Timur can only speak slowly.
"It's like this. When the Taiwei came here, he told me that in addition to observing the champion's style, he also wanted to have a real competition."
"Of course, the Taiwei's original intention was to compete openly and openly with the champion Hou, using the land of Liaodong as a bet. If he loses, he is willing to offer the land of Liaodong with both hands and bow his head to the Ming Dynasty."
"Gao Basi Temü'er, who is with me, is our main fighting faction in Liaodong. If we can defeat him in an upright manner, the Taiwei Lord will become my vassal."
"What the Marquis has done now is really despicable. This matter will definitely make the people in Liaodong very angry. I also ask the Marquis to let us go and fight another day."
I'm kidding you. You Liaodong has an army of hundreds of thousands, and you came over to surrender to me. It's unreliable, and it's more like a struggle for life.
Hong Boyan Timur looked at Zheng Xiong's suspicious look and secretly complained in his heart.
The army of the Ming Dynasty is at its peak. You are a champion, not to mention invincible on the grassland. Now I am coming here to compete with you.
It would be better for you to just poison it. Originally it was just a matter of going through the procedure, but it turned out to be so complicated.
Things will fall into place naturally, just go through the motions yourself, go back and do the work, and just be a tool with peace of mind.
I have to make such a fool of myself and disrupt my plans. To be honest with you, you are doubtful.
How do you want me to explain it? With this poison, how can you, the champion, have any prestige? How can you convince the people if the Taiwei wants to surrender?
In short, Zheng Xiong may not care, but it is a headache for Naha and himself.
"How can you prove that what you say is true? If you bet on the land of Liaodong, I think it is unreliable!"
You can't prove it. Who knows that you don't play according to the routine and are not prepared at all.
I have no intention of communicating with you. Now I have become a prisoner. If I don’t talk, I will have no chance. If I make my words clear, there may be a chance of survival.
"The champion should know that His Majesty the Ming Emperor and my Taiwei have a life-saving grace."
"To be honest, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty just sent the Taiwei a message of appeasement, and the letter from the Marquis arrived, and it was just now that the Taiwei made the move to go to Yanmen."
"All the elite soldiers are sent to have a competition. The purpose is to let the main fighting party see the situation clearly through this battle."
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not want to start a big war, and the same is true for my Lord Taiwei. The future situation will all depend on the thoughts of the Marquis. I ask the Marquis to think twice."
Well, this is really a troublesome topic. I just want to gain some military exploits, but you guys think too much.
Fishing has also caused trouble. Now it is not a matter of credibility. As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, I believe that no one will give up this opportunity.
If Lao Zhu were here, he would definitely agree without hesitation. Thousands of people have nothing to do with the overall situation. If these thousands of people can be used to influence the situation in Liaodong, he will wake up laughing in bed.
Without letting Hong Boyan Temul wait any longer, Zheng Xiong quickly made countermeasures and said with a smile.
"Just kidding, isn't it the agreed time for the competition today? I was just planning to discuss things with you, but unexpectedly something like this happened to you. If there is anything you need help with, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."
After Zheng Xiong finished speaking, he pretended to walk up to Hong Boyan Timur and supported his shaky body.
Zheng Xiong's move silenced both those who knew and those who did not know. Li Si and the soldiers who followed Zheng Xiong and Hong Boyan Tiemuer looked at each other in silence.
It happened that at this time, Gao Basi Temu'er also walked outside the camp, but his arm was twisted by the soldiers guarding the side.
While he was struggling, when he saw the two people's intimate behavior, his head was about to explode, and he immediately shouted loudly.
"What are you doing? Hong Boyan Temu'er, have you betrayed the Taiwei and His Majesty?"
Coincidentally, when he was seen on the spot, Hong Boyan Temuer couldn't explain himself and shouted helplessly.
"It's not what you think. I am loyal to the Lieutenant and there is absolutely no betrayal."
"No need to quibble, I have seen it all. You are ashamed of the captain and your majesty. How can you have the face to stand here and talk to me."
Hong Boyan Tiemuer couldn't argue, but fortunately Zheng Xiong came to the rescue in time.
"What are you doing? Let go of Mr. Gaoba Stermure."
Zheng Xiong, who was supporting Hong Boyan Timur, suddenly let go, almost causing Hong Boyan Timur, who was clinging to Zheng Xiong, to fall to the ground.
But Zheng Xiong quickly ran to Gao Ba Si Timur, opened his hand that was pressing on him, and supported him.
The unsuspecting people's eyes widened as the wind direction changed so quickly that they were overwhelmed.
Gao Basi Timur was stunned for a while.
He asked after a long while.
"What does Champion Hou mean?"
"I just made a joke to you. Isn't today the date for the competition? Come here to compete. I came here. I saw something was wrong with your situation, so I came here to have a look. If there is anything needed, just ask."
"Why are you still competing? Haven't you been poisoned? How can you compete in this situation?"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Xiong was silent, and after a while he said in a heavy tone.
"It was my negligence. I got a report today that a large amount of laxative Croton was missing. I was still wondering. Now I finally know where it went."
"It turns out that they actually mixed croton into food. I deeply apologize and express my deep condolences for this. I hope you can forgive me."
