Zhang helped Zhen Mingku to sit on the cushion specially set up for him at the side of the banquet, Zhen Mingku finally sat down, and arched his hand to Zhu Cang, who was sitting at the top: "Thank you King Chu for giving him a seat." ”

Zhu Cang smiled and said, "This king heard that the general of the dark guard has already figured it out and is willing to be loyal to this king?" ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly: "The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, my life and the safety of my wife are in the hands of the King of Chu, if I don't know each other again, next time I'm afraid I won't sit here and talk to the King of Chu, but kneel, thanks to the King of Chu for leaving me and my wife a life, the King of Chu has a life, and the minister will go to the soup and the fire, and he will not give up." ”

Zhu Cang laughed: "Okay, well, this king appreciates a smart person like you the most, come on, serve wine and food to General Zhen and his wife." ”

The wine and food were served, all of them were chicken, duck and fish, Zhang couldn't help but swallow her saliva, but she didn't dare to move her chopsticks, she just ate some carp porridge that Zhen Ming had boiled for her in the past few days, and she was already dizzy with hunger, but she still didn't dare to eat anything from Zhu Cang.

Zhen Mingku tasted a few things first, and then sandwiched a chicken leg for her, and said: "Lady, eat with confidence, you have even eaten the corpse Gu worm eggs of the King of Chu, what else can not be eaten, aren't you hungry, eat first and then speak." ”

Zhang was relieved at this time, closely following Zhen Ming's suffering, putting aside the psychological barriers, and eating in a big gulp, looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she was already hungry, and the successive changes in the past few days have made her mind a lot more resolute, and she has no nausea and uncomfortable feeling at the beginning.

Zhu Cang stared at her, his eyes flashed like a wolf staring at his prey, he now somewhat understood why Zhen Mingku would surrender for this woman, locked up in prison for a few days, this woman did not show any decadence, she was still beautiful and moving, and her bearing was elegant.

Zhang only cared about eating, and didn't dare to look at him, and a hand under the table tightly grasped Zhen Mingku's hand.

Zhen Ming turned his head bitterly, and smiled at Zhu Cang casually: "Thank you King Chu for ignoring the past suspicions." ”

Only then did Zhu Cang take his eyes off Zhang's body, and laughed: "Whether you count the previous suspicions, it depends on how useful General Zhen is to this king, if you are in vain, I am afraid that in the end, it will inevitably become the king's Chinese food, and your woman will become the king's woman." ”

Zhen Ming said bitterly: "The minister understands that when I came to see the King of Chu this time, in addition to surrendering to the King of Chu, there is also an important matter to report to the King of Chu. ”

His tone was sincere, and his attitude changed so quickly that even Yu Wenqing on the side couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Zhu Cang didn't think there was anything wrong, the only way for the person who drank his corpse Gu wine to survive was to be loyal to him, Zhen Mingku was a smart person, it was not surprising that he would make this choice, and said with a smile when he heard this: "General Zhen might as well say it directly." ”

"The minister is in Luoyang, and Wang Shichong has always been at odds, now Wang Shichong has firmly controlled the military power, even if the minister is not loyal to the king of Chu, he will definitely not be stupid enough to return to Luoyang to become Wang Shichong's chopping board meat, the minister knows a little about the art of people, last night in the cell looking up at the starry sky, night stargazing, found that there is an imperial star in the south of Luoyang, is where Nanyang is, I know that there will be a holy monarch to come to the world, now I see the appearance of the king of Chu, the sky is round, the court is full, there is an imperial atmosphere, and it will be a great cause in the future,

So I changed my mind and surrendered to the king of Chu, Longmen Town is the fief of the emperor and the lord of Tai to reward the ministers, after my wife's full operation in the past six months, she has accumulated a lot of materials, money and food, and there are also weapons and armor that can be equipped with tens of thousands of people. ”

When Zhang on the side heard Zhen Mingku's claim that he knew a little about the art of stargazing, he described Zhu Cang's pig's head as a round place and the appearance of an emperor with a full heavenly court, and he almost didn't squirt out the rice smile in his mouth.

Zhu Cang didn't care whether Zhen Mingku really knew what kind of tricks he had, some people said that he had the appearance of an emperor, which was always a happy thing, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words: "I can get the help of the general, and this king is like a tiger with wings!" ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and said: "In order not to make Yang Tong and Wang Shi suspicious, the minister dared to ask the king of Chu not to spread the news of Chen Toucheng for the time being, and the minister took the opportunity to transport the materials accumulated by Longmen in the past half a year to Nanyang, and he didn't know it." ”

"Just as the general said."

Zhen Mingbitter said again: "The minister still has a thousand people outside the city to escort the dark guard, and now that he has joined the king of Chu, these sons and daughters will naturally join the Chu army with the minister and obey the dispatch of the king of Chu." ”

"Good, good! General Zhen is really a hero, he is decisive and daring, knows the current affairs, does not drag the mud and water, and when he goes to the court tomorrow, the king will crown you as the Duke of Deng, and you and your secret guards will be incorporated into the king's personal guards. ”

Zhen Ming was grateful to Dai De and said, "King Xie Chu! The minister repaired a letter and sent people to Longmen overnight, hoping that before Wang Shichong consolidated his power, the materials of Longmen could be smuggled out of the city, and secondly, it was to cover Wang Shichong's ears and eyes, so that he thought that the king of Chu had agreed to ally with him, and he was now busy dealing with the Wagang army, flawless south, and the king of Chu just took the opportunity to develop and grow, in order to enter Luoyang in the future. ”

After listening to his words, Zhu Cang still had any doubts, and laughed: "Come on, pen and ink are waiting." ”

……

After Zhen Mingquan finished writing the letter, Zhu Cang looked at it, in addition to the ugly handwriting, the syntax was quite smooth, and there was nothing wrong, so he asked people to send them out of the city and handed them over to the guard general outside the city, and asked him to send someone to the steward of Longmen Town.

After Zhang was full, he never said a word, and sat silently on the banquet, staring at Yu Wenqing on the side, with hostility in his eyes.

Yu Wenqing didn't take her hostility in her eyes at all, and was expressionless.

Zhen Mingku and Zhu Cang were talking on the side, Zhen Mingku knew all kinds of advantages and weaknesses of Luoyang well, and knew everything that was endless, and planned a beautiful picture of how to squander pleasure after Zhu Cang entered Luoyang, and Zhu Cang was very happy.

Later, even Zhang's couldn't help but look back at him, with a hint of incredulity on his face, she could hear that this man really betrayed Luoyang intelligence to Zhu Cang without reservation, which made her even wonder if this man really didn't have any bottom line, and he said that he would surrender to Cheng and completely betray Yang Tong.

Zhu Cang originally had eyeliner in Luoyang, coupled with the information brought back by Yu Wenqing, which was confirmed by what Zhen Mingku said, obviously Zhen Mingku's information was more detailed, and he believed in Zhen Mingku's sincerity more and more, and under great joy, he rewarded him with a luxurious mansion in Nanyang City, with more than a dozen family slaves and maids, and summoned Zhen Mingku's 1,000 guards into the city and arranged them properly.
