The gossip of the crowd, and the weakness of the body at this time, made Chen Yuanguang quickly understand what was going on.

He wanted to get up and say thank you, but Cui Geng grabbed him first, and said with a smile: "General Chen doesn't need to be so polite, if you hadn't blocked that bamboo arrow for me, I'm afraid Cui would have died a long time ago!" Otherwise, the general wouldn't be lying here! It's good that the general can wake up with a fever, otherwise Cui is really guilty! ”

Of course, Chen Yuanguang is the Kaizhang Holy King who will be honored in later generations, if he dies in vain because he blocked the arrow for him today, then... Then history has really deviated because of this, and I don't know what it will become.

Chen Yuanguang lay down again, leaned on the head of the bed with the quilt half-covered, smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "Chen saved Cui Yushi, that should be shared, you came here to visit me, and pay tribute to my grandmother, how can I let you suffer the secret arrow of the bureaucrats?" Okay, you and I don't need to be so polite, since I saved you, you saved me, don't we owe each other? Ha ha...... Ahem......"

Cui Geng is also a musician, nodding yes.

At this time, the atmosphere in the thatched house was much more relaxed, and seeing Chen Yuanguang wake up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and there were more words for a while.

Xu Tianzheng raised his voice roughly, stepped forward to invite merit: "General, is there any merit for his subordinates?" Cui Yushi asked for the bottom layer of water in the waterhole, and I personally went down to mention it. General Chen, you also know that this waterhole is deep and cold, and it is extremely cold, and I have suffered a lot this time. ”

Before Chen Yuanguang's praise was spoken, Song Genhai, who was standing behind Cui Geng, had already sneered: "Okay, Captain Xu, don't patronize the merits." A manly man, willing to gamble and lose, but not to cheat. My family is still waiting to eat your palm fried fish! ”

Although Xu Tianzheng has long regretted the previous bet, he is a person who wants to save face, and he will not admit it in this case, and said: "Fry the fish, fry the fish, the old man is willing to gamble and lose!" Cui Yushi, you wait, come when a certain family goes. ”

"Don't mind!"

How could Cui Geng really let him do such a stupid thing, he had already seen that Xu Tianzheng was heartless, and he didn't recognize anyone except Chen Yuanguang when he thought of what he said. But to say how bad this person's heart is, in fact, it is not necessarily.

He hurriedly got up and stopped Xu Tianzheng and said, "Captain Xu, you haven't lost yet." This official's medicine is a palliative but not a cure, and whether General Chen can survive this hurdle depends on his luck. ”

"Cui Yushi doesn't need to help a certain family cover up their shame." Xu Tianzheng shook his head and said stubbornly: "Medicine doctors don't die of diseases, Buddha is destined to be cured, who can guarantee that he will be cured?" If you can do this, I will be convinced, and I am willing to gamble and lose! ”

"Ahem, Xu Tianzheng! Are you going crazy? ”

Chen Yuanguang coughed weakly and scolded, "What are you talking like a bastard? What's the use of Cui Yushi asking you for a rotten life? ”

Speaking of this, he glared fiercely at the muddy man under him, and said, "Isn't it just fried fish in your hand?" If you really want to apologize, bring a plate of fried fish, kneel down and invite Cui Yushi to eat. ”

This is similar to serving tea to admit mistakes. In fact, Chen Yuanguang knew Xu Tianzheng's dog~ temperament, and he really dared to do it, but he still wanted to save his arm. The person who charges into battle is missing an arm, which is tantamount to a wasted man!

However, Cui Geng is a dignified seventh-grade imperial history, the court is poor, and Xu Tianzheng is an eighth-grade captain, even if he doesn't have such a thing, he can completely afford to receive a gift from him.

Although Xu Tianzheng is rough, he also knows that his general wants to protect his arm, and he is the one who leads the troops to fight, who really wants to break his arm and leg?

However, he made a bet in advance, and if he lost and didn't cash it, he panicked. So, he peeked at Cui Geng and muttered: "The bet is a matter of two people, and it has to be agreed by Cui Yushi." ”

Of course, Cui Geng didn't really want to abolish Xu Tianzheng's arm, and he didn't want to have a stiff relationship with Chen Jiajun, let alone have a pimple with Chen Yuanguang because of this trivial matter, so he immediately sat down there with a golden knife and said with a smile: "Captain Xu, this official is waiting for your fish to eat." ”

This matter can be regarded as reconciliation!

Xu Tianzheng couldn't help but panic and hurriedly ran out.

With little effort, he came up with a fried fish, knelt down respectfully, raised his plate with both hands, and said, "Cui Yushi, please eat fish." ”

Cui Geng picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth, and said, "That's it, but this fish is fried very fragrant!" ”

Xu Tianzheng didn't leave, but he put the fish down, kowtowed three times in a row, and said: "Cui Yushi, I Xu Tianzheng used to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, thanks to the magnanimity of Lord Yushi, don't care about me!" I'm not a bad guy. From now on, I'm ...... As much as I respect my general, I will respect you as much as I want. ”

"It's just a small misunderstanding, Captain Xu hurry up!" Cui Geng got up and stepped forward to help Xu Tianzheng up.

The six generals praised it again, and Kua Cui Geng was really broad-minded, regardless of his previous suspicions, and easily revealed this episode completely.

The clouds of the day were full of disperse, and there was no longer a gap between Cui Geng's side and Chen Jiajun's side.

Now everyone regards Cui Geng as a miracle doctor, and is busy asking Chen Yuanguang what to do with his next treatment plan.

Cui Geng didn't have a good way to do it, but to strip off the carrion, rinse it with spirits, and finally wrap it in a white cloth boiled in boiling water, and then eat aspirin.

Chen Yuanguang's luck is really good, after this toss, he slowly got better.

Five days later, he was fully recovered.

Everyone looked at Cui Geng more and more differently, in fact, only Cui Geng himself knew that this time it was mostly luck.

As the days passed, the wingmen couldn't fight, and Cui Geng and the others couldn't attack, so they were in a stalemate.

Until half a month later.

On this day, Chen Yuanguang asked Cui Geng to go to the thatched house to discuss matters.

"What? You're going to negotiate with the wingmen? ”

Cui Geng came in the thatched house, listened to Chen Yuanguang finish talking to him, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "How can that happen?" Those wingmen were meant to kill you, what is the difference between throwing yourself into a trap? ”

"Cui Yushi is a little restless, listen to a certain family finish speaking." Chen Yuanguang slowly got up and said, "This matter has been carefully considered by me, and the risk of going to negotiate is there, but it is definitely not as big as you imagined." ”

"Why? You're a feud with your fellow people! How many people want to get rid of you as soon as possible? I don't agree with the general taking the risk! Cui Geng still insisted on his opinion.

Chen Yuanguang was a little moved, stepped forward and patted Cui Geng's shoulder gently, and then continued: "There are many people who want to kill me Chen Yuanguang, but there must be many who want to save me. You see, more than half a month has passed, but the wingmen are only besieging at the bottom of the mountain, and they have no intention of storming the mountain, which means that there must be someone within the wingmen who have greeted this wingman rebel, and they must not act rashly! That's why they're sleepy. If I go down the mountain to negotiate and kill me in the camp, who can afford it? ”

Cui Geng was quite puzzled and asked, "Is that really the case?" Could it be that the general also has his own people among the wingmen? ”

"Pretty much. In the territory of Southern Fujian, there are a total of forty-eight tribes of all sizes, and there are more than one family that dare not say, except for the tribes at both ends of the dozen or so families, there are at least thirty tribes, as long as I pass down an arrow, don't dare to disobey. Those who are truly determined to be my enemies will kill me as quickly as possible, and they will not exceed the number of palms. ”

Bragging, right?

Cui Geng was a little unconvinced, if Chen Yuanguang really had such a great prestige, why had it been so long and he hadn't even seen a single support soldier?

Xu Tianzheng seemed to see his doubts, and said with a smile: "Cui Yushi, don't believe it, the general was unconscious before, but now that the general is awake, everything can be solved." Cui Yushi didn't know that the general of my family had a concubine, who was the beloved daughter of Zhong Youliang, the owner of the centipede cave. Centipede Cave is the largest tribe of the wingmen, hehe, which leader of the bureaucratic tribe dares to let Zhong Youliang's daughter be a widow~ woman? ”

Li Boyao also added: "Not only General Chen, but also in our Chen family's army, many people are related to the bureaucrats, including myself, who married a bureaucratic wife. Tianzheng is right, as long as the general is alive, nothing happens, those tribes are all afraid of the general, just listen to the general's call! ”

Others also spoke one after another, agreeing with Chen Yuanguang's judgment.

Cui Geng didn't know the inside story and couldn't say anything, besides, the food was about to run out, and there seemed to be no other way out except for negotiations. So he nodded in agreement, and insisted that he go with Chen Yuanguang.

His reasons are also very good, Chen Yuanguang's negotiation failed, and he couldn't hold out for a few days hiding in the mountains. Why don't you go and negotiate now and see if there's anything you can do to help.

Cui Geng saved Chen Yuanguang because of pharmaceuticals this time, not only did no one in the Chen family army dare to underestimate him, but they all respected him and had a lot of prestige. After a little persuasion, the crowd stopped stopping them.

Chen Yuanguang saw that Cui Geng insisted on accompanying him, so he complied with him, but he told Xu Tianzheng that if the situation was not good, even if he lost his life, he would protect Cui Yushi's safety.

Xu Tianzheng slapped his chest and agreed.

In the end, Chen Yuanguang explained to Cui Geng that the negotiation of going down the mountain this time would be borne by himself, and Cui Geng must not expose his true identity until the critical moment.

If it was just a small entourage, even if the two sides turned their faces, under the protection of Xu Tianzheng, Cui Geng might not have a chance to escape.

This is a piece of kindness, Cui Geng agreed.

In this way, in addition to the thatched house, the group of three people waved a white flag and went out of the fortifications that had been built with stones.

Chen Yuanguang's name is too loud among the bureaucrats, and I don't know how many bureaucrats who refused to accept Wang Hua were killed during the period of Pingmin Kaizhang. Therefore, as soon as the name was reported, the bureaucrats who blocked the road hurried back to communicate.

However, when he turned around again, the look of awe on his face was completely gone, and he said, "General Chen, the owner of my village invites you to go in." But you must hand over your blades! ”

Although this request is a bit excessive, it is not entirely unreasonable.

Xu Tianzheng angrily untied the saber and handed it to the pawn, saying, "Two thousand wingmen are stationed here, and they are still afraid of the three of us?" Bah! Unable to say boo to a goose! Which cave master is besieging us? ”

The pawn didn't hide it, and said, "It's not the cave master, it's our Lei Lizheng." ”

"Which Leiri is positive?"

The pawn explained: "It's Lei Wanlong Lei Lizheng in Tanghua." ”

Yes?

Hearing this, not only Xu Tianzheng, but also Chen Yuanguang's face changed abruptly, and he said unexpectedly: "Why is he?" ”

The pawn said angrily: "Why can't it be our Leilizheng? Don't you Han people only allow us to bully us, and don't allow us to resist? ”

Chen Yuanguang respected his identity and didn't want to argue with him about this issue, so he waved his hand and asked him to lead the way.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Tianzheng explained the origin of this Lei Wanlong to Cui Geng.

This thunder dragon turned out to be the eldest son of Lei Xiao, the cave master of Jinji Cave, because he failed to compete for the position of the cave master, and in a fit of anger, he defected to Chen Yuanguang with his loyal subordinates.

As the first nobleman to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Chen Yuanguang gave him great preferential treatment, not only setting aside a fertile land for him to live in peace and self-government, but also giving him a lot of iron-governed agricultural tools and teaching them the advanced farming methods of the Han people.

The most important thing is that Chen Yuanguang gave him a special policy - no tax.

Soon, Lei Wanlong's territory flourished, and in order to commemorate the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, this place was renamed - Tanghuali.

Later, due to the demonstration effect of Lei Wanlong, many wingmen went down the mountain to defect, and the entire Zhangzhou territory built a total of nine Tanghuali.

Because Lei Wanlong surrendered the earliest and had a very high reputation, he was the only one in these nine Tang Dynasty, and this power was much stronger than being a Jinji Cave master.

But I didn't expect Lei Wanlong to be ungrateful, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and actually took advantage of Chen Yuanguangding's worries to guard the tomb and kill Yunxiao Mountain when there was no army under his command, and wanted to take his life.

After Cui Geng heard this, he had his own different opinions in his heart, he thought that this matter was not so simple, if Lei Wanlong, who was obedient, was reversed, who else would not be opposed?

It seems that Chen Yuanguang is overly optimistic, the possibility of success in today's negotiation is really small, if it is not done well, he and others will be worried about their lives!

But it's all here, and it's probably hard to go back to the mountain.

Only take one step at a time, and act at the opportunity!

The three of them were led to a huge shack made of bamboo, which was what the two thousand wingmen called the Chinese military tent.

Sure enough, as soon as the three of them entered, they heard a rough voice shouting: "Chen Yuanguang, are you finally willing to go down the mountain?" Are you here to surrender? ”
