The drumming of the royal men had stopped long ago, leaving only faces looking at each other.
It's true that Commander Amul agreed to this condition, but they don't want to just take the lead and kill each other. To take a step back - what if the commander agrees to the other party just as a temporary measure or with determination to win? In the eyes of the king, surrendering to the enemy is an extremely shameful act, not to mention that the other party is a member of the Sheng Kingdom who has a long-standing grudge.
Amul fell to the ground and was still breathing heavily. It seemed that he could only wait for his decision.
"Hey... I said, can you still stand up?" Wei Kui twisted every part of his body, and his bones and joints instantly made a crackling sound. It seemed that he still had some strength left.
"Huh..." Amul supported his body with his arms and climbed up with difficulty, "If you can guarantee the life of the young prince, we are willing to surrender."
"Now is not the time for you to negotiate terms." Wei Kui said coldly. He had no intention of killing the young prince. The survival of the young prince was a standard for the other party's behavior. If the young prince died, the royal family would They can attack unscrupulously. With the disparity in strength, Wei Kui certainly hopes that the young prince will live well.
The reason why he added this sentence was that he was very unhappy with Amul's behavior of adding conditions after defeat.
"We don't want him to die either, so now you can throw away your weapons, take off your armor, dismount and accept surrender." Wei Kui raised his head and looked at the rows of kings and said loudly.
"Do you really want to surrender?" Many of the royal cavalry felt unbelievable and whispered among themselves.
Amul, who was sitting on the ground, looked like an old and twilight man, and nodded sadly: "This is the only way to save the life of the young prince."
There are a total of four to five hundred members of the royal family, and not everyone is willing to accept this condition. However, if the young prince is really killed, even if they successfully wipe out the Shengguo army in front of them, they will still be killed when they return. If the right prince is executed, there is a great possibility that his family members will be affected...
In the end, in desperation, all the royal troops surrendered in humiliation and disarmed all their weapons in accordance with Wei Kui's request.
"Well... call Lao Du and the others back now. We are preparing to return." Wei Kui whispered a few words to Wei Cheng, and ordered people to find a lot of cowhide ropes from the camp and tie them up with strong cowhide ropes. The prisoners' hands and wrists were tied together with hemp ropes around their waists to ensure that they would not escape or suddenly attack.
Du Rong and the others also arrived at the camp not long after, and Wei Kui's team of 100 people worked hard until dawn to pack up everything - more than 400 prisoners and war horses, weapons, armor and other goods, prey, etc. Was swept away by Wei Kui.
Before returning, Wei Kui did one more thing. He pulled Amul out of the prisoner team alone, and of course the guy in charge of translator.
"What do you mean?" Amul asked in confusion.
"Of course I want you to send a message to your master and ask your master to take the young prince back." Wei Kui said.
Amul was of course surprised. This guy tried every possible means to catch us, so why did he show such kindness that he wanted to let us go to fetch reinforcements? But he soon came to his senses - of course there was a price to be paid for taking it back as Wei Kui said.
"Aren't you afraid of me running away alone?" Amul looked complicated.
"If you really didn't care about the young prince's life, you would have killed us long ago and ran away..." Wei Kui didn't care. "You still seem to be very loyal to your master. Of course, it may be more out of fear."
"Even if you choose to run away instead of sending a message to your master, after a while we realize that your master has not come to take their children back, and we will send someone else to send a message. At that time, your master will be implicated because of his anger. It’s not impossible for your whole family.”
"You can make your own choice, we won't suffer."
A few words have clearly explained Amul's situation. The most important point is that "we don't suffer anyway", and this point alone makes him invincible.
"I have finished explaining what I have said. You can go now." Wei Kui yawned. It seemed that the sleepless night had some impact on him. "For one month, I hope you can bring your master to Shasha." Hanguan - every night we consider inflicting new injuries on the little cub."
"Uh... shouldn't I leave?" the translator standing aside said hesitantly, but was slapped on the head by Wei Kui. "You want to leave too? What? Your master also needs an interpreter to communicate with his subordinates?"
"This guy is your commander, and his status is quite high. When your master is angry, you have to consider whether it is necessary to kill him - and you, a little-known little Gadouzi, are rushing to let others take it out on you. Huh?" Wei Kui started to scare him again, and the translator was so frightened that he quickly ran into the prisoner team. In fact, it cannot be regarded as alarmist. Although the right prince may kill his royal commander because of "lack of protection", the probability is unlikely. However, an ordinary warrior is very likely to replace the commander and become the right prince's punching bag and grinder. Knife stone.
The troops of Amur and Wei broke off and went all the way back to the depths of the desert to report to Prince You. The other way was naturally to return to Shahan Pass or to look for the Chinese army led by Li Duo along the way.
Half a month later, Wei Kui finally returned to the territory of Shengguo and successfully reunited with Li Duo's headquarters. This place was not far from Shahan Pass, so Li Duo ordered everyone to withdraw to Shahan Pass for further discussions.
Of course Zheng Xianming came back too, this guy even came back earlier than Wei Kui. He was lost in the desert for several days. Fortunately, he did not encounter the Xiegao army, but he could not get any intelligence. He originally thought that Wei Kui would gain nothing or even lose his troops due to Tian Kai's rebellion, so he also Instead of continuing to go deeper, he randomly grabbed some Hao Gao merchants to kill the good ones and take credit for them. He already regarded the vanguard position as his own. But he never expected that Wei Kui would capture the son of Prince Xie Gao You and the royal family who protected him. He was so angry that his nose was crooked.
Although it is obvious who will be the pioneer, the process still needs to be followed. Li Duo summoned Wei Kui and Zheng Xianming to his residence in Guan Nei, in order to announce the ownership of the vanguard title in front of the senior officials of Wansou Camp and the Sirius Army.
"You guys are so lucky." Zheng Xianming and Wei Kui happened to bump into each other in front of Li Duo's mansion. Thinking that Wei Kui was about to step on him, he naturally wanted to give the other party some good looks, but in his heart I was unhappy, so I could only stab Wei Kui angrily. The implication was of course, "I am no less capable than you, but you were lucky enough to catch a big fish."
In fact, Zheng Xianming did not know the danger of the situation at that time, not to mention that Wei Kui actually defeated Amul in a head-on confrontation. Although there was no large-scale conflict, Wei Kui was able to use the young prince to negotiate and capture the opponent without bloodshed. . Objectively speaking, whether Zheng Xianming can defeat Amur is another matter. He does not have the courage to face the impact of the Xiegao people and make a desperate counterattack against the opponent's camp.
Therefore, people like Zheng Xianming look very fierce, but in fact they are strong on the outside but capable at the same time. Otherwise, they would not use "you are just lucky" to excuse others, belittle their opponents and make excuses for their own incompetence. A truly strong person like Wei Kui, although his strength has never been as good as Li Duo, will challenge and fight every opportunity, and will not feel discouraged or discouraged by the opponent's strong strength and his own disadvantage. After the failure, he was more diligent in introspection and continued training. Although Wei Kui is still not Li Duo's opponent so far, his attitude and behavior determine that his achievements will not stop there, and only such talents You will have the opportunity to become a strong person.
Wei Kui is already a confirmed vanguard, and naturally he will not have any verbal disputes with Zheng Xianming, but he has to talk about Lin San's matter carefully: "You haven't realized that your little brother Tian Kai has never Show up?"
Zheng Xianming had approached Tian Kai. He saw with his own eyes that Wei Kui arrogantly escorted the prisoners back to the Chinese army. Of course, he had to question Tian Kai about what happened before. Why did he cause so much damage to others when he was sent out to do sabotage? Pile prisoners out? However, he searched left and right but could not find Tian Kai. Later, he asked one of Wei Kui's subordinates that Tian Kai was dead, but the other party was also vague. Zheng Xianming just thought that Tian Kai was with Xie Gao. The man died during the fight.
He was already angry all day long because his position was not guaranteed. He had no time to investigate the cause of Tian Kai's death. It was good that he didn't scold Tian Kai in his heart for his incompetence.
"Uh...ah..." Zheng Xianming was stunned for a while before he responded to Wei Kui's words, "What about my little brother Tian Kai, I'm not familiar with him?"
Wei Kui's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered: "Tian Kai admitted that he was yours before he died. Not only my subordinates, but also the prisoners can testify to this."
In fact, before his death, Tian Kai only admitted that he had killed Lin San and did not say that he was the person sent by Zheng Xianming. But I thought with my toes that Tian Kai was either related to Zheng Xianming or Wang Chi - after all, these were the only two people who had a grudge against Wei Kui.
Seeing Zheng Xianming's covert reaction at this moment, Wei Kui was even more certain that Tian Kai was sent by Zheng Xianming to harm him. He snorted coldly in his nose: "We have a little brother, Lin San, but he was killed by that bastard. Killed..."
"He has already paid this debt with his life, and now it's your turn to pay it back." Wei Kui's eyes seemed to be burning with fire. He and Lin San didn't have much of a friendship, but at least it was him. The soldiers he brought out died in vain in the desert for no apparent reason. Naturally, he wanted to seek justice for them. "I know that even if I report this matter, you may not get the punishment you deserve. It's nothing more than paying for your life...so I won't report it. Let's take our time and have fun."
After Wei Kui said such threatening words to Zheng Xianming, he walked straight into Li Duo's mansion, leaving the stunned Zheng Xianming standing outside the door.
The process of conferring the position of pioneer was also very smooth - originally Li Duo was solely responsible for Wansuying, and no one else would raise any objections as to who he wanted to be appointed to, but he still needed a contribution to silence everyone. , coupled with the fact that there are other generals in the Tianlang Army who have no less official positions than Li Duo, Wei Kui has made a great contribution this time so that he can show his face in front of these people.
The struggle between Wei Kui and Zheng Xianming can be said to have come to an end since then. He first forced Li Duo to stop in the martial arts competition, and then in the competition for the vanguard position, he made a great contribution by hijacking the camp and capturing the enemy. For a time, it was famous and popular.
But no one thought that today's events would quietly foreshadow the subsequent crisis.
