In front of Jialing Pass, Zhou Ji ambushed the swordsman and axeman in advance and set up a military tent in front of the gate, with hot wine and meat inside.
Qin Yun and others strolled over, and Zhou Ji stepped forward to greet them warmly.
Yan Laosan immediately mouthed to Zhou Ji: "Do it!"
Zhou Ji frowned and looked like he had "frozen hands".
Zhou Ji: "Come here, add some braziers!"
Yan Laosan was so worried that he was sweating profusely and stood up directly: "General, hurry up..."
But he was interrupted by Chen Jin on the side.
Zhou Ji looked at Chen Jin and felt a shiver in his heart. He believed that Liao Xiang had set up this plan. If he attacked by force, he would probably suffer a lot of losses. That person was at least a grandmaster.
I didn't expect that Qin Yun would have such an expert guard by his side. Didn't he say that he was not to be favored?
Zhou Ji glanced at Liao Xiang who was standing aside. The latter shook his head, which Zhou Ji thought meant that there was no problem.
He smiled and ordered people to carry him to eat.
"Your Majesty, come and try this fresh northwest roasted lamb. It's fresh and tender. After eating, we'll go inspect Jialing Pass."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Okay!"
Zhou Ji waved his hand: "Come on, give some to the brothers!"
The mutton was placed in front of the case, and Zhou Ji grabbed a piece: "Please!"
After saying that, he put it in his mouth and chewed it loudly.
Qin Yun smiled and grabbed a leg of lamb and began to chew on it. Li Daiyu, who was unaware, was about to grab it and eat it, but was stopped by Han Jiangxue.
But after Zhou Ji saw Qin Yun swallowing it, he already felt that he was sure of victory. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, let out a long breath, and looked at Qin Yun with resentment.
"Prince Liang, I, Zhou, am fighting against the Sirius and Northern Qi in the northwest, and I have never wanted to get involved in your affair of seizing the legitimate son. But you should never kill my incompetent son!"
"He is useless, but I only have one son, and I still need him to continue the bloodline of my old Zhou family."
"If you kill him, I, Mr. Zhou, will have to get involved in this situation. But don't worry, Mr. Zhou will not kill you today. After all, you are the prince."
Qin Yun looked at Zhou Ji with a smile: "As a father, I sympathize with you, but you also bear the unshirkable responsibility for his death."
"If you don't educate your son well and let him be domineering and bully the people, what will happen to the prince? I, the prince of Daxia, break the law and are as guilty as the common people."
"I can kill the dandy of the Qian family, but I can't kill your good-for-nothing son Zhou Ji? What's the point of this!"
"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that someone will deliberately use your son to cause trouble. They think I don't dare to touch him, but I don't!"
Zhou Ji snorted coldly: "Qin Yun, you claim to be smart, but haven't you figured out the current situation?"
"You took this prince's sweat medicine!"
"Somebody come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of swordsmen poured in from outside the account.
But Qin Yun wiped his hands with the tablecloth: "The lamb is very tender, but it's almost cumin."
As he spoke, he dodged and brought up a strong wind, and the next moment he appeared in front of Zhou Ji.
Qin Yun swung the sword from his sleeve and put it on Zhou Ji's neck and said calmly.
"Everyone says that to capture the thief, you must capture the king first, but now the offensive and defensive momentum is different!"
The cold blade pierced the superficial skin on Zhou Ji's neck.
Zhou Ji felt the sting and at the same time he felt sweat pouring down his back.
Didn't he take the sweat medicine? Is that medicine fake? impossible!
How did Zhou Ji know that Qin Yun had long been immune to most poisons? After all, the things in his body were more poisonous in a sense.
All the poisons in the world are just childish in front of Gu King.
Gu is the ancestor of poison.
Of course, what shocked Zhou Ji the most was Qin Yun's skill. He had heard that Qin Yun defeated the Northern Qi genius Qi Bingxian in a battle in Shangjing.
But he was a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, and he was protected by powerful masters on his left and right, and he was actually held hostage in front of everyone?
Only half a year has passed, and Qin Yun has actually become a grandmaster?
"You...you are the master!"
Qin Yun smiled: "So be it! Originally, I wanted to give you a chance, but you were useless."
Zhou Ji snorted coldly: "I am the Marquis of Zhenbei, a general conferred by the imperial court. Are you going to kill me? Do you think you can get out of this big tent?"
Qin Yun: "I am the King of Zhennan who was personally conferred by the emperor. I command the troops of the thirteen states in the south. I am the ninth prince of Great Xia today. Who dared you to drug me and murder me?"
"Bai Feiyang conspired to poison the first-class prince of the dynasty. What crime should he be punished for?"
Bai Feiyang stood up and said calmly: "Treat them as complicit in conspiracy, Yi tribe!"
Qin Yun's blade approached a little closer: "Did you hear that? Yi tribe, this king is going to kill this rebellious person now! Who of you wants to follow?"
Zhou Ji's followers were hesitant.
Zhou Ji snorted coldly: "Go ahead, kill him, and someone will exonerate you."
Qin Yun kicked the wooden case in front of Zhou Ji's eyes and lifted him up.
"Come on, give it a try!"
Li Daiyu flicked her sleeves and threw out the Yuanyang knife in her hand.
"Who dares to touch my husband?"
Han Jiangxue also had two more double guns in her hands aimed at the people in the tent.
At the same time, someone outside the tent heard an urgent message.
"General, Mrs. Mi and the young master were suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious person. They are outside the tent at the moment."
Zhou Ji's eyes were about to burst: "Qin Yun, you are despicable!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "To each other!"
"I remember correctly, this should be the general's last son."
Zhou Ji's eyes narrowed: "What do you want to do?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "General, what do you want to do with me?"
Zhou Ji snorted coldly: "Of course it's revenge!"
Qin Yun: "I can't see it. The general and his original wife have lost their friendship a long time ago. He must not be that caring about his son, otherwise he wouldn't have to hang out in the Jinyi Guards."
"Is that right?"
Zhou Ji's eyes narrowed.
Qin Yun continued his analysis: "The Great Xia Dynasty valued military merit. If you really loved your son, you wouldn't have left him in the capital as a hostage. You have always claimed that you only have one son. I'm afraid you have had second thoughts!"
Zhou Ji was shocked: "You are so slanderous!"
Qin Yun: "This is actually the case. Am I wrong? You arrested me just to stay out of the matter, please Qin Zheng, and give the emperor an explanation."
"Now, I give you a choice! Either fight against me and die here for a son you never care about or even know if he is your biological blood, or die here, or happily cooperate with me for the sake of your beloved little son."
"Life or death! You choose!"
Zhou Ji was shocked. How did he know that he was not his biological son?
Looking at Zhou Ji's expression, Qin Yun had to admire the gossip information of the burglar.
Who would have thought that this thing could one day have combat effectiveness?
In fact, Qin Yun had never underestimated anyone, especially the Marquis who commanded a hundred thousand troops.
But when the thieves investigated the Marquis, they discovered an interesting thing. This Marquis made his fortune by staying with the Prime Minister's family and thinking that he was a distant cousin.
Relying on this relationship, he also became a cousin with Prime Minister Yang An.
But the cousin of the Yang family was a promiscuous person. She couldn't bear the fact that her husband was away at war all the time, so she simply stole the man. Later, when Zhou Ji came back, he found that the man was pregnant.
But Zhou Ji did not act out for the sake of his future, but continued to maintain the relationship on the surface.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "General Zhou, you choose between your fake son or your real son, as well as your life!"
Zhou Ji's eyes turned cold: "Qin Yun, I am Daxia's general. I have shed blood and killed enemies for Daxia!"
Qin Yun: "Don't I, the king? It is precisely because of this that I give you the opportunity to choose. Don't be swayed by the benefits in front of you. Qin Zheng is supported by the family. Do you think he will really treat a newcomer like you?" Xungui as a confidant?"
"Even if you kill me, this will be a stain on your life from now on. Not everyone who is contaminated with the blood of the Tian family can be unharmed. You are not Ji Qing. Ji Qing has a huge family behind him."
"That's it for now. I won't give you ten breaths!"
Zhou Ji looked at Liao Xiang, and Qin Yun's words were exactly the same as his.
Liao Xiang smiled bitterly: "General, those who know the current affairs are heroes. It's all my fault. I blame me for underestimating this prince!"
Yan Laosan raised his eyes: "Brother, are you really being cheated on?"
Everyone looked at this fool, wondering what kind of pot this pot was!
Is this situation now a question of green or not?
Fortunately, Zhou Ji knew that this idiot had the best intentions. He was the master who helped him block the sword on the battlefield.
Zhou Ji said in a deep voice: "What do you want from me?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "This king is here to ask for military merit. I want to ask for an explanation for the military meritorious class of Great Xia. Life has been hard for everyone these years!"
"I represent your interests, but you point your sword at me. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"
All the soldiers bowed their heads and remained silent.
The Daxia court was short of finances. In the past, military achievements were rewarded with gold, silver, and acres of land. However, hundreds of years after the founding of Daxia, the fields and acres had long been occupied by aristocratic families, and the gold and silver had long been occupied by long-term civil servants. After winning a battle, they would be given a plaque.
It’s not that the court doesn’t want to honor it, it’s that it has no way to honor it.
Moreover, since Emperor Wu of Great Xia, there have been signs of emphasizing the importance of literature and neglecting the weak. Why don't these bitter and cold frontier troops suffer?
In fact, this is also the cleverness of Qin Yun's slogan of seeking justice.
If he wanted to confront the huge civil servant family group in the imperial court, he had to rely on the military. Most of the soldiers came from humble backgrounds. What did they want?
It’s respect, it’s the future!
Zhou Ji muttered: "Okay, I surrender! But I won't follow you to rebel. This is the bottom line."
Yan Laosan: "Brother, when are we going to kill that wanton person?"
Zhou Ji's face was dark, didn't you fucking see that I didn't even mention this? Pig brain.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "General Zhou is very righteous, but we can still put on a show for the time being."
Zhou Ji waved his hand and all the swordsmen and axemen retreated. Liao Xiang dragged Yan Laosan back as well.
"Why are you pulling me? I want to listen!"
Liao Xiang was speechless, Qin Yun signaled to Chen Jin, who stood in front of Yan Laosan.
"Big man, go out and practice with me?"
"Hmph, come on, who's afraid of who?"
Zhou Ji cursed: "What a fool!"
Liao Xiang retreated into the tent and knelt in front of Qin Yun: "Your Majesty, it was the villain who instigated my general to do this. Everything was the villain's idea."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Regardless of your position, you are indeed a good strategist. Get up, I am not that stingy person!"
Zhou Ji asked curiously: "Your Majesty had known that this mutton was poisonous, why did he still eat it?"
Qin Yun smiled: "Don't talk about this!"
"Your army must not be monolithic, right?"
Zhou Ji nodded: "I don't believe anyone except my three brothers!"
Qin Yun: "Then there is room for action, but before that, you have to trouble your wife and children to follow me to the capital. Don't worry, I will never hurt them."
Zhou Ji's eyes narrowed: "If you let that shrew know, you will definitely kill the mother and son. In fact, I am not happy that you killed that evil bastard, but I have to pretend to be sad and angry. There is also that shrew in this army. I am afraid that my second wife and my youngest son have been exposed just now. Although my position is not equally hereditary, it still attracts people's attention. After all, I came from a distinguished family and got off to a fast start!"
"Since the prince has already investigated the situation of the general, you should know that the shrew hates you even more. She is a cousin of the Yang family and is actually an agent of the Yang family. Over the years, the Yang family has often asked me to do dirty work for them. Work.”
Qin Yun nodded: "I know this, otherwise I would not know that you want to harm me, and I would still talk to you about this."
"I don't need you to choose anything now, nor do I need you to take sides, but if you join me, your Northwest Army will be able to improve a lot in the future."
"Whatever Qin Zheng gives you, I will give you double!"
Zhou Ji felt happy in his heart, this is right, he doesn't care who becomes the prince, who can't please him if he has soldiers?
But then Qin Yun's words made him hit rock bottom.
"The premise is that you must cooperate with me in this drama!"
Zhou Ji snorted in his heart, isn't this called taking sides?
"I have a bottom line. I will never send a single soldier for you, let alone do such a treasonous thing!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, you just need to..."
