After Chen Xun and others were sent away, Zhao Kuo also went to bed immediately. As time goes by, the moonlight gradually deepens, but the sun takes advantage of the deep night to drive the moon back home.
Amidst the slight noise, Zhao Kuo opened his eyes. Listening carefully, it was Zhou Qi who was killing chickens and monkeys outside Lord Pingyang's tent according to his orders.
After slowly putting on a military uniform and a helmet, Zhao Kuoyi walked out of the tent happily. The beautiful sunshine has spread all over the earth. After moving his still a little tired body, Zhao Kuo pretended to look at the slightly noisy camp casually.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What's the noise?" The soldiers on the side immediately replied, "It should be in the direction of Pingyang Jun's camp, but I don't know what's going on." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then said expressionlessly: "Let's go, Take a look!" Not long after, Zhao Kuo had quietly walked to the outskirts of the camp, but he stopped the soldiers around him from reporting and quietly listened to the conversation.
"How rude, General? I just left the camp to find some food, so why should I be held responsible?" A man with his hands tied struggled to defend himself.
"Even the general didn't say he was hungry before the meal arrived. Who are you? Why do you want the army to eat early for you?" Zhou Qi had a look of iron on his face and refused to pay attention to this person, but his eyes looked towards the person standing there. Pingyang Jun on the side.
"We have been traveling for days, and the starry night has just arrived last night. We have been hungry all night, why can't we eat early?" The man was still waiting to argue.
However, I saw many Zhao soldiers around me showing contempt, and they were shouting like this after being hungry all night. I don’t know how long they thought they were hungry?
! During a war, it can be said that it lasts all night, and it is common to go without food for several days, not to mention being trapped in an isolated city with no food and grass. It is lucky to have a drink of clean water!
During the Battle of Changping and the defense of Daijun, every one of the soldiers present was hungry.
Who dares to say he is hungry before food is prepared? Zhou Qi didn't even bother to say anything more to him, and immediately bowed to Lord Pingyang before taking him away.
Even Zhao Kuo, who was watching the excitement from behind, was secretly happy. It seemed that Zhou Qi had found a good excuse.
Seeing that he was about to be taken away, the captured man was immediately frightened and shouted: "Your Majesty, please save me. This is just a way of humiliating our power on behalf of the local army! We are the king's envoys." , you have no right to govern me! This is to refute the face of my king, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Lord Pingyang still didn't say a word, the man immediately started to speak indiscriminately, and even told King Zhao Also pulled into the quagmire.
When it comes to the king, even though Lord Pingyang doesn't want any more conflicts, he still has to step forward.
"General Zhou." Pingyang Jun finally stopped Zhou Qi who was about to leave, and then continued: "Please remember that we don't know military discipline and be punished lightly." Obviously, Pingyang Jun was already showing weakness. , although the words are not too gentle, they are already the lowest posture of Lord Pingyang.
But Zhou Qi, who was originally here to scare the monkey, would not care about Lord Pingyang's show of weakness. He immediately stood up with his fists clasped and said calmly: "Military law is ruthless. Please don't embarrass the general."
"This?" Pingyang Jun was obviously a little frightened. After all, after Zhao Kuo's scare last night, Pingyang Jun was still very afraid of military law.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. This person is just taking revenge on us. We have the king's orders, how can we be punished by military law?" Seeing that Lord Pingyang was retreating again, the kidnapped man hurriedly Add oil and vinegar.
Obviously, this is arousing the conflict between the local faction and the court faction. If Pingyuan Jun could see through it at a glance, it is a pity that the person standing here is Pingyang Jun, a person who can advise King Zhao to give up the party. You can imagine his intelligence and big heart.
Hearing what his own people said, Pingyang Jun actually felt that there was some truth in it. In addition, Zhou Qi's lack of respect just now made Pingyang Jun even more angry, and he immediately stopped Zhou Qi again.
Then his tone became less polite and he said: "It's not to embarrass the general! This is a member of my mission, not a member of the army, and not governed by military law. Even if he wants to be convicted, he needs to be transferred to Handan. My king will be condemned!" After hearing this, Zhao Kuo was going crazy with joy. It was not in vain that he had waited for this scene!
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Qi here was obviously a little dizzy. Is this Lord Pingyang so strong? ! However, it was obviously a bit difficult for him to ask a small assistant to deal with a royal envoy who was also a king.
Thousands of words are stuck in my throat but I can't say them out. Lord Pingyang didn't care about that. Seeing that Zhou Qi was a little timid, Lord Pingyang seemed to have returned to the scene in Sangqian City yesterday. Thinking that even Chen Xun had to beg him so hard at that time, he suddenly became extremely ambitious - a mere general. Dare to block me.
He immediately waved his hand and gave an order to his servants, saying: "Come here, untie him. The people in Lord Pingyang's house have not yet had the chance to punish him." After hearing this, the servants immediately dispersed. The sergeant who tied up his own men began to untie the man who went out of the camp to look for food.
Soon, the entangled rope fell to the ground. At the same time, the forager glanced at Zhou Qi provocatively, as if that was how disgusting it was.
At this glance, Zhou Qi's clenched fists were so tight that his nails dug into his flesh. I thought that what the general told me was just a simple matter, but I didn't expect that I still messed up.
Not only was it a failure, but it also caused people to trample serious military discipline to the ground. How could Zhou Qi not feel pain?
Even if you lose the battle, it won't be so uncomfortable! Not only Zhou Qi, but also the surrounding soldiers were extremely angry at this time. This was not only a contempt for General Zhou, a blasphemy against military law, but also an insult to all soldiers.
If he hadn't taken Pingyang Jun's identity into consideration, he would have already been cut into pieces by now. It's a pity that the identity of a royal envoy is like an invisible wall that isolates everyone from the outside.
Zhao Kuo knew that it was time for him to appear!
"Really?" A faint questioning voice came from the periphery of the crowd. The crowd quickly turned around and saw Zhao Kuo, dressed in military uniform, looking at everyone present leisurely.
Immediately, everyone immediately gave way to a path, lowered their heads and clasped their fists and said, "General!" However, Zhao Kuo did not agree and went straight to the center of the incident.
Seeing Zhao Kuo approaching, Pingyang Jun immediately complained secretly in his heart, but because of his face, he could only greet him and said respectfully: "General!" Zhao Kuo looked at Pingyang Jun up and down, but he still didn't understand. Reason, walked straight to Zhou Qi.
Things have developed to this point, killing chickens to scare monkeys is no longer the focus. The point is...
