Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

After a while, the leaderless local officials cheered up and took matters into their own hands.

Although the remaining defeated generals in Jingantai were full of false anger, they did not dare to conflict with these people again... After all, seeing Zhang Xing kill the governor of Beiya and the husband of Nanya, these former colleagues were also really panicked.

If the other party really continues to kill Cao Wang, then the local officials may really rebel.

Moreover, there is really nothing they can do.

When the local envoy from Liang County arrived, Zhang Xing, who was packing his things, simply laid out the conditions:

"I came out this time, firstly, to pay homage to the queen, secondly, to kill the traitor, and thirdly, because the gang was short of food, money, and materials... Now that the traitor has been executed, as long as Liangjun is willing to bring the people's fat and anointment with him, as well as Songcheng

The treasury donated all the weapons to me, and at the same time the whole county opened warehouses to help the people, so I will immediately withdraw to Jiyin, and Cao Taishou will also immediately invite you back... As for the queen, she is here to pay a visit, and when she returns to Jiyin, please have a look at your highness.

After enjoying the scenery of Jiyin for a moment, I immediately followed His Highness on the road again."

"Are you sure it's correct? Just money, food and supplies?" After a moment, the local Huang Juncheng, who hurriedly led the crowd to greet the envoy, couldn't ask more questions. "What did the city say?"

"We can discuss whatever he says," the messenger said frankly.

Hearing this, the Liang County magistrates and captains, including the two station army lieutenant generals and the resident black ribbon, all became excited, and some of them even started to celebrate with their crowns... After all, what's the point?

Without any initiative, is there a better path to take?

We exchanged property, weapons, and food for Governor Cao, and the city was restored. Even if the higher-ups were to investigate, wouldn't Governor Cao still be responsible?

They are all trying to save the Junjun. Should the Junjun blame them? Shouldn’t the Junjun have the courage to take responsibility?

Even further, if the matter is settled and the Junjun maintains the relationship with Uncle Cao, can these things be reimbursed at Luokou Warehouse?

The only problem seemed to be the team's accompanying belongings, which belonged to the palace after all.

Just as this group of people was gradually becoming more and more enthusiastic, on the other side, in a tent only a few dozen steps away, the atmosphere was solemn... After listening to Shen Ding, who was lying on the couch, describing the conditions, the people in Jing'antai

Everyone is a little tired.

Because they have realized that the situation is beyond the control of the defeated generals like them.

In other words, since someone stabbed someone in the throat last night, things have been destined to be manipulated by others... However, as Zhang Xing's former colleagues, the people in Jing'antai still have a bit of unwillingness and a bit of shame.

Plus a touch of anger.

"Now that the matter has come to this point, I feel that as long as the pressure is not excessive, Zhang Xing may not dare to risk the world's disapproval and kill the queen." After a while, Li Qingchen came up with an idea that finally gave some explanation. "And what does the life and death of Governor Cao have to do with us?

Doesn’t he, Zhang San, want these treasures in the team? So what if we hold them back and don’t give them to them? Dare the garrison troops to take action?”

This was to force Zhang Xing to kill Governor Cao in order to control the situation. Luo Fang and others were quite tempted.

Qin Bao, on the other hand, was obviously about to speak but hesitated.

"Qin Erlang." Li Qingchen noticed it himself and immediately took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Guys." Qin Bao took a long breath. "Do you think Zhang San... Zhang San brother's blow last night was deliberate, or was it a coincidence?"

"What do Qin Erlang think?" Lu Changheng asked coldly.

"I think he succeeded by seeing the opportunity... because such an exquisite timing cannot be arranged by strategy." Qin Bao answered seriously. "So, he didn't expect such a big result before, so I dare to ask, what did he do before?

What’s the plan?”

There was silence in the tent for a long time, and Shen Ding took the opportunity to pretend to be dead.

"What on earth is it?!" Luo Fang became a little anxious again.

"I guess we should rely on the two cities of Gushu and Xiayi as strongholds to lock the advance and retreat of the team, and then use a small core of elites to monitor us, entangle the elite forces of our Jingantai, and ensure that our elites of Jingantai

We can't just join forces with the garrison to attack the city..." Qin Bao actually explained the basics of Zhang Xing's plan. "As long as we cannot capture these two cities, it will be freezing cold and tens of thousands of people will be killed.

Since it is impossible to transport supplies properly across the two cities, it will only take a few days for us to collapse!"

"Ask Huang Juncheng, how many days of supplies are left in the team?" Luo Fang immediately pointed to a patrol rider who was still able to move properly.

As soon as the latter stood up, Lu Changheng raised his hand to stop him: "No need to ask, I know, three days."

"Three days?" Luo Fang was stunned. "Why..."

"Because we could have arrived in Xiayi tomorrow." Li Qingchen held his stomach, thoughtfully. "Even if there was a problem with supplies, we could have sent grain or Xiayi today to help... There are actually many

After a day, I will become rich."

Luo Fang felt like he had a headache again. He vaguely realized that he was going to be completely defeated this time, and he didn't know how to see his foster father... The remaining defeated soldiers around him were also silent.

But not long after, the silence was broken. Huang Juncheng suddenly came in on his own initiative, and then raised his hand to Luo Fang, who was the one who made the decision.

"What's the matter?" Luo Fang cheered up and asked indifferently.

"The thieves from the Deposed Dragon Gang over there are leaving..." Huang Juncheng said simply. "They want a few carriages to carry the Queen, Princess and my Lord."

"Why do you need to ask us about this?" Li Qingchen was so angry that his stomach ached, and his face was twisted in pain. "There are masters of elixir creation and elixir condensation, there are queens, princesses, eunuchs as hostages, and there are also local officials who want to fight with them. Business, we are a group of remnants and defeated generals. What are we going to do? Are we going to fight again? If we all die, it will be easier for you to do things?"

Huang Juncheng glanced coldly at Li Twelve and Li Heishou, who had been chatting happily at the banquet, and sneered: "It really has nothing to do with Li Heishou... It's Zhang Sanlang and Zhang Ni. He said that he has a close friend here. If he doesn't see him before he leaves, One glance, but he seems guilty...but I want to invite Qin Erlang to see him!"

At this point, Huang Juncheng finally looked at Qin Bao and asked seriously: "Qin Heisui, can I trouble you to go to the front of the formation for a while... It's better than Shen Zhushou, right?"

Shen Dingqing knew that her gesture last night had spread with the release of the prisoners, so she simply looked above her head and said nothing, while Qin Bao remained silent for a while under the attention of others in the tent, and then stood up without hesitation.

Everyone around was silent.

After a while, Zhang Xing and others came to Qin Bao on the bank of Huanshui where the north wind was getting stronger.

The two met on the ice. A few steps apart, Qin Bao greeted him and called him third brother, which attracted the attention of the surrounding knights of the Deposed Dragon Gang.

"I'm sure I'm fine." Zhang Xing stood up with his hands behind his back and smiled. "It's you, is your mother in good health?"

"Not bad."

"Where is Yueniang?" Zhang Xing asked.

"That's fine."

"I asked Sanniang to handle your affairs for me, have you already handled it?" Zhang Xing still couldn't ask further.

"It has been dealt with."

"How to deal with it?"

Qin Bao did not dare to be negligent, so he only gave an approximate summary of Bai Yousi's actions that day.

"That makes me feel relieved." Zhang Xing sighed. "That day when I killed Zhang Han in Gushui, I was most worried about you and Yueniang. You two are the only ones I care about..."

Qin Bao responded silently, but couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

"That's good." Zhang Xing turned towards the shore, took out the death sentence chair he had been sitting on, placed it on the ice, and then sat down. "Since you have worshiped Sanniang, you must not fail to worship me. Come on. Come, come forward, bow, and then go back!"

Qin Bao looked up at Zhang Xing, then stepped forward and bowed in public without saying a word, once again attracting the attention of the people around him.

After Zhang Xing received the bow, he no longer hesitated. He just waved his hand, stood up, abandoned his chair, and prepared to mount his horse and leave.

It was at this time that Qin Bao suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Third brother, last night here, I bumped back and only met a Ningdan. Did you deliberately let me live?"

"Forget it, you think." Zhang Xing turned around and stopped, holding the knife and smiling. "The main reason is that I was really sleepy at the time and didn't go out."

"Then I think it's okay." Qin Bao said seriously. "Is it because Third Brother knew that my mother and Yueniang were in Dongdu and knew that it would be difficult for me to get out, so he deliberately let me go?"

"That's right." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and chose to be serious. "Do you feel humiliated?"

"In this world, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive. How can I be humiliated by the kindness of Third Brother?" Qin Bao shook his head slowly. "I just want to tell Third Brother that if the two armies fight again next time, if I gain the upper hand , I will also try my best to let the third brother go."

As soon as these words came out, several leaders laughed, and even the local low-level officials who came to deliver the carriage whispered.

Only Zhang Xing said seriously: "Okay!"

"But we can't always let go of each other like this, it's not realistic." Qin Bao suppressed a certain emotion, raised his head and continued to speak seriously. "Third brother, can we make an agreement, who of us will let the other go three times first, and the other will

Then you should give up your own difficulties or ambitions and follow who is the right one...how about it?"

Zhang Xing thought for a while and remained serious: "Okay, let's make it a deal."

Qin Bao quickly bowed his head, fearing that others would see that he couldn't hold back his tears.

However, Zhang Xing just acted as if he didn't hear anything, and directly picked up the yellow gelding under his crotch, and headed towards Gushu City upstream along the river. The troops stationed upstream only gave way to the passage under the urging of local officials.

At noon that day, everyone arrived in the city, gathered Niuda and subsequent reinforcements, and then took a break.

At this time, I should have gone to hot soup and rice and participated in a group building to brag, but official duties did not spare anyone. The officials of Liang County were very diligent, and unexpectedly caught up with them. The envoy represented the county prime minister and the capital.

The captain and even the two lieutenants came directly to bargain... The meaning was obvious. They already knew about Meng's involvement and the supply problem for the team, so they were willing to accept most of the conditions. They just asked Zhang Xing not to give up the grain.

Shu and Xiayi were given to Meng Shanggong, so that they could continue to fight hard.

As for the large amount of high-end property and supplies that the team brought out from Ziwei Palace and Dongdu, although they could not deliver it directly, they were willing to take the initiative to withdraw from the garrison, and made it clear that in three to five days, the team would collapse and depose them.

It’s not like the Dragon Gang doesn’t have any soldiers, they will just take them when the time comes.

Frankly speaking, the progress was a bit overwhelming, and the attitude was so frank that Zhang Xing was stunned for a long time.

But in the end he agreed and came to see Governor Cao in person to congratulate him.

The expression on Cao Taishou's face, who was lying on the couch to recuperate, had just improved a little. Hearing Zhang Xing's narration, he was stunned for a long time, but he suppressed his uneasiness and spoke sincerely: "Zhang Longtou, these bastards are trying to use me to top the tank... You

Tell me, if I don’t go back and just follow the Deposed Dragon Gang to make do, what do you think?”

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, thought about the pros and cons, and replied sincerely in front of the warm couch: "I think it is better for Governor Cao to go back honestly... If you are really serious about your career, how can you not contribute to the people of the world?"
