Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Chu Huan's words, Chu Huan beckoned, Xiao Heng came over close to his ear, Chu Huan whispered for a while, Xiao Heng's expression was complicated, after listening, he pondered for a while, and said, "Chu Du is ready to agree to Xiao Huanzhang's conditions?" But...... If he really wants to give up Liang Zihe and Qingtang City, if he really pursues him behind, what will happen? ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "You don't have to ask more, you just need to tell him that the plan to lure the snake out of the hole, the governor expressed his appreciation and was willing to cooperate, but the conditions he proposed must be modified." ”

"Modification?"

"After getting rid of Zhu Lingyue, I don't want the two states of Tianshan Mountain, and I don't want one state, all of them belong to him Xiao Huanzhang, but Qingzhou in Beishan Road must all be ceded to me Xiguan." Chu Huan smiled and said, "In addition, when the time comes, the spoils obtained from Zhu Lingyue will be half of the two sides. ”

Xiao Heng frowned and said, "Chu Du, Xiao Huanzhang may not agree to this condition." Qingzhou is the richest place in Beishan Road, and in the current northwest, northwest Kyushu, Qingzhou's wealth is also ranked first, and Qingzhou is very large, even if the two states of Tianshan are combined, it is not much bigger than Qingzhou, the most important thing is that the only passage between Guanzhong and the northwest Xiguguan, in Qingzhou, if the entire state of Qingzhou is ceded to you, Xiao Huanzhang will not have the passage to enter the ......! ”

"There are no harsh conditions, and he won't believe that I will really accept his conditions." Chu Huan said: "The harsher the conditions I propose, the more he will feel that I have been fooled, and you must understand that if he is just trying to lure the snake out of the hole, he will definitely not agree to such harsh conditions, but if he just wants to set a trap and confuse Bendu, he may not agree to these conditions, his purpose is just to defeat me, if I really fall into the trap, even if I agreed to cede the entire Beishan to me before, then there is no need to fulfill it, so we can further judge what Xiao Huanzhang's intentions are." ”

Xiao Heng suddenly realized, "I see." After thinking for a while, he said, "In that case, tomorrow I will go to Xiao Huanzhang and tell him the conditions set by Chu Du." ”

"Nope." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Tomorrow, you will still set off for Shuoquan." ”

Xiao Hengda was puzzled, and said strangely: "Chu Du, why is this?" This trip to Shuoquan, hurry up, and it will take more than half a month to go back and forth, and it has already reached the end of the year......! ”

"Time!" Chu Huan said lightly: "You go back and forth, you can buy time for me Xiguan." Xiao Huanzhang only wants to achieve the greatest result at the minimum cost, so I fall into his trap and cooperate with him, which is the result he wants to see the most, and before that, he will not act rashly. You could go to Shuoquan and come back again, and you can buy me at least twenty days. ”

Xiao Heng understood, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then follow Chu Du's orders." ”

Chu Huan smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Xiao, so far, you have no other way to go, you can only work together with me to do something big." The Governor can assure you that as long as you can cooperate with the Governor and achieve the purpose of the Governor, then your purpose will also be achieved, and the Governor will help you replace Xiao Huanzhang, and I can guarantee that the Lady Xiao of your dreams will only belong to you alone. ”

Xiao Heng was a little embarrassed, but the promise that Chu Huan gave him made him full of hope, got up, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly: "Xiao Heng swore to the sky that he would go to the soup for Chu Du, and he would not give up!" ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Heng was well prepared, put on a civilian clothes, because he was going to Shuoquan secretly, so he didn't tell anyone, but just took two entourages and went to the governor's palace to say goodbye to Xiao Huanzhang, Xiao Huanzhang told him amiably, and Xiao Heng secretly went on the road.

Starting from Yuchang, there was more than one day on the way, and three days later, he had already whipped into the territory of Qingzhou, and along the way, he could not see the grain and grass that the soldiers and horses assembled in Danyang had been transported to the front line, Xiao Heng was only afraid of being recognized, and turned around and walked to the trail.

Thinking of what Chu Huan said, Xiao Heng faintly felt that what Chu Huan said made a lot of sense, he mobilized troops and horses, and it was very clear that the number of cavalry in Beishan was indeed about 3,000 people, and thousands of cavalry had been stationed in Yutian City before, but this time it had been secretly transferred to Danyang, this time the cavalry was mobilized, not like the infantry rushed to Danyang in a large group, the cavalry was broken into pieces, and went to Danyang in groups of three or five, so the goal was very small, although people could see that there were cavalry rushing to the front line every day, but they did not see the cavalry corps, Therefore, many people even ignore that the main cavalry force in Beishan is quietly and rapidly assembling towards Danyang.

Danyang City is surrounded by Beishan soldiers and horses gathered over, Xiao Heng is not good to pass near Danyang, go around to the east of Danyang, the soldiers and horses here are scarce, and it is not easy to be found when entering the territory of Xiguan from this side.

In fact, after the tension between the two sides began, there were very few people coming and going from the front line, and there were often soldiers and horses roaming along the two borders, patrolling and loitering.

At dusk that day, Xiao Heng finally arrived at the border, the weather was cold, it was late and early, and at dusk, the sky was almost dark.

Turning over a hill in front, it will officially enter the territory of Xiguan, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind, Xiao Heng couldn't help but turn back, but saw several horses galloping from behind, the speed was very fast, and it had already followed in the blink of an eye, Xiao Heng became alert, stretched out his hand to touch his waist, at this time it was clear that there were four horses who came, and they were all dressed very ordinary, wearing hats, pressing down the brim of their hats, and they couldn't see their faces clearly for a while.

A few horsemen found Xiao Heng, obviously a little alert, and did not come closer, but turned to the east, widening the distance from Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng was strange, but saw that the horses had rushed up the hills, one of them seemed to be looking at this side, Xiao Heng was also looking at him, but both sides quickly looked away, obviously did not want to cause more trouble.

"Childe, it seems that they are also going to Xiguan." The entourage next to him said: "The leader is a practitioner, and his kung fu must not be bad." ”

The two entourages who followed Xiao Heng were both good hands, and they had already noticed that the first one of the four horsemen was a person who knew martial arts.

"More is better than less!" Xiao Heng shook his head, "If they don't come to provoke us, let's not go over to provoke them." Without further ado, he waved his whip and hurried his horse down the hills.

After the four rode up the hills, the leader saw Xiao Heng also on the hills from a distance, frowned slightly, and rode up behind, and said in a low voice: "Qiu Daxia, is there any situation?" ”

The leader shook his head and said, "Don't worry, after this hill, the front is the territory of Xiguan, as long as you reach Xiguan, the prince will be completely safe." ”

This line of four horses, but suddenly it was the four people of Qi Wang Yingren who crossed the mountains and rivers all the way, and the leader was naturally Qiu Ruxue, and the question was Shi Lu Haosheng, the head of the palace, and then the king of Qi and Ling Shuang rode together.

Several people were dusty, King Qi and Ling Shuang were even more tired, seeing that Ling Shuang was quite haggard, King Qi said gently: "Ling Shuang, it's almost time to Xiguan, when you get to Xiguan, everything will be fine, how do you feel now?" ”

Ling Shuang smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, don't worry about the prince." ”

King Qi smiled and nodded, and asked forward, "Qiu Daxia, it's already dark, do we want to find a place to rest?" ”

Traveling all the way from the capital, he has endured hardships, and it is not without him that he has eaten and slept in the open air, and along the way, the pampered King of Qi has finally stopped, but this tempering has also made his willpower a lot stronger.

He was originally a scheming young prince, once competed with the princelings, and thought he was very smart, but when he reached the worst, he realized how naïve he was, not only did the prince want to kill him, but even Ma Zhongheng, whom he trusted, became a traitor and almost took his life.

His only hope now is only in Chu Huan, for him, the capital is not a place of his nostalgia, but the source of his anger, he hopes that one day he can return to the capital again, there really is a day, he also secretly swears that it must be the time when the prince pays the price.

"Lord Wang, less than thirty miles away from here, is the county seat of Qingtang." Qiu Ruxue said: "Although it is dark, but I remember the road very clearly, let's hurry up and rush to Qingtang County, when we get there, we can take a hot shower, change into warm clothes, and have a beautiful meal, by the way, we should be able to get some drinks there......!" ”

Qiu Ruxue said this, and King Qi couldn't help but move his throat.

Brocade clothes and jade food, wine and delicacies, this is an inexhaustible thing for him, there is really nothing strange for him, but this way, eating and sleeping, sometimes even can't eat, in this cold and windy dusk, listening to Qiu Ruxue talking about hot water and warm clothes, I feel that it has infinite temptation.

"Beishan Chen Bing border, Xuanyuan Shengcai should be at the end of Qingtang County." Lu Haosheng said: "Lord Wang, I can't see Lord Chu today, I should be able to see Xuanyuan Shengcai." ”

"Xuanyuan wins the ......!" King Qi read the name lightly and didn't say anything.

When Qiu Ruxue spoke, he kept paying attention to Xiao Heng and the others in the distance, and saw that Xiao Heng and the others had disappeared without a trace, so he said: "Lord, this section of the road is not easy to walk, the hills are undulating, let's hurry up earlier." ”

At that moment, the four of them continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and it was very close to Qingtang County, and suddenly saw a spark in front of them, hanging in mid-air, King Qi was frowning, and Qiu Ruxue had already said: "Lord Wang, that is a watchtower, which is used to monitor the enemy's situation, and here are all Xiguan troops, and they are Chu Du's subordinates." ”

The King of Qi breathed a sigh of relief, the sound of horses' hooves, and the shouts in front of him: "Who is coming?" Stop your horse and don't move. In the midst of the shouting, I saw that in the darkness it was like a ghost, and suddenly several shadows appeared, and these people with guns and knives in their hands had quickly surrounded them.

King Qi heard the voice, but he didn't feel any discomfort, for some reason, when he knew that these soldiers were all Chu Huan's subordinates, when he heard the cheers, he actually felt a sense of cordiality, at this moment, he seemed to feel that he was back home.
