He couldn't help but secretly wonder, what would happen if 'he' was Li Keyong?

If Li Keyong is really alive, why hasn't he shown up, and even when the news that Li Keyong has died in battle is now circulating in the Qin Domain, he has never shown up. Maybe it was because he wasn't out of danger at first, but now if he's already here, why hasn't he just shown up?

What if King Jin was really alive, but he didn't show up, let alone Li Sizhao, but wanted to see him in secret? What exactly is this for? All sorts of thoughts kept looping through his mind.

It would be nice if someone could tell him what to do.

He misses Gai Yu a little, misses Kang Junli, misses Cheng Huaixin, but unfortunately Gai Yu took refuge in Li Jing after being captured, but now he has become an important minister of the Qin Domain. Kang Junli was loyal to the King of Jin, but he was slandered by the villain, and Xili Hutu died from a glass of poisonous wine, but it was Cheng Huaixin, although he died in the battle array, at least, he would not see the current situation.

As night fell, darkness covered the land.

But he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The hustle and bustle of the camp gradually calmed down, and the camp began to fall silent.

He couldn't help but lift a little curtain and look out, it was pitch black outside, only a few torches, and the night patrol guard had not been seen back for a long time.

Li Cunzhang sat up suddenly, and then draped the blanket under him over his body.

What am I doing here? While draping the blanket, he couldn't help but murmur softly.

Lose your marbles! It's crazy.

Whoever was waiting for him in Maple Valley was not a good thing.

If it was Li Cunjin who was waiting for him there, then he had betrayed Li Sizhao. If discovered. The possibility of life is not in danger.

If it is Li Sizhao who is waiting for him there. Then this time, he is even more self-defeating.

It would have been even worse if it had been King Jin who was waiting for him there. King Jin's choice of such a way to meet can only show one problem, both Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan betrayed King Jin, or King Jin no longer trusted them. When he goes to see the king of Jin, he will be involved in the struggle of the king of Jin to regain the right to Shata.

Li Cunzhang draped the blanket and picked up his scimitar again.

Choose between Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan. This made it difficult for him to decide. In other words, he has been looking forward to the return of King Jin in his heart, maybe this is a trap, but as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, he is also willing, King Jin may need him. He said to himself, hiding the scimitar in the blanket.

He watched carefully outside, waiting for the patrolling soldiers to pass before diving into the night. He waited until they were far away before rushing along, deftly and nervously making his way through a tent. Come to the stables.

There, during the day, the groom was standing waiting for him.

See him coming. He smiled slightly, how could that smile look like an honest farmer?

The two horses have already prepared a full saddle, "Follow me!" The raven whispered, turned on his horse, and rode forward. At this time, Li Cunzhang realized that he had chosen two white horses, and the horses' hooves had been wrapped in cloth.

The farther you go outside the camp, the darker the night becomes.

He was as nervous as he had been when he had enjoyed his bar mitzvah on the busty female captive after killing someone on the battlefield for the first time at the age of twelve. He didn't dare to look back, for fear that he would run back as soon as he turned around.

The crow soldier was in front, not saying a word.

When I arrived in Maple Grove Valley, there was a dead silence in my ears. He tightened the blanket, and the air was filled with the smell of dirt and leaves. He suddenly wanted to laugh, for the blanket on his body, for his hidden head.

I hope that the one who awaits him is the King of Jin! He prayed secretly.

He rolled over and dismounted, walked among the maple forests in the valley, and felt the maple leaves brushing against his cheeks. Could this be a trap? Will there be archers jumping out? Until this last moment, his heart was still full of doubts.

"Cunzhang, I thought you weren't coming."

A familiar voice sounded, Li Cunzhang turned around sharply, and a man came out of the darkness. He was tall and large, with a steady gait, and in the dim light of the torches, he wore a dark gray robe and a cloak with a hat. Li Cunzhang raised the torch a little higher, and after the firelight, he saw the ugly scar under the hood, and the familiar blindfold. He finally confirmed that it was him. "King Jin!" He said in a trembling voice, feeling very excited, "Is it really you?" ”

"Yes, Cunzhang." He walked over, and Li Cunzhang could smell the familiar rhythm of the other party's breathing, "It's me, do you think I'm dead?" ”

Li Cunzhang hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee, "Meet King Jin." ”

"Get up." Li Keyong was very satisfied with Li Cunzhang's reaction, "I know that you can be trusted." ”

"My lord, if General Yiguang knows that the Dao King is back, he will definitely be very happy. I immediately went back to inform the camp and asked them to come and welcome the king back to the camp. Li Cunzhang asked tentatively.

"No, I can't reveal my whereabouts to anyone just yet." Li Keyong grabbed Li Cunzhang.

"Si Zhao, Si En, and Si Ben are all your righteous sons, and the battalion of 30,000 soldiers and horses are all the warriors of our Shatuo. And in the camp opposite, there are 20,000 Shatuo warriors, and Li Cunjin is also your righteous son. Li Cunzhang said.

"That's right, Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao are my righteous sons, but after the battle of Zhigu Pass, they were all in a hurry to fight with Li Jing, one rushed to be the envoy of the Yanmen Festival, the king of Yanmen County, and the commander of Shatuo. One rushed to be the envoy of Datong Festival, the king of Datong County, and the governor of Shatuo. I know that I am still missing, but the two of them have already made eye contact with Li Jing, not only accepting Li Jing's official title for them, but even signing an agreement with Li Jing separately. ”

Li Keyong's face was very ugly when he said these words.

"In order to defeat Yizhou, I led my troops into the Hebei War twice before and after, and even almost died because of it. Yizhou was finally defeated, but Li Sizhao was not distressed when he sold his grandfather's cub, and directly gave Yizhou to Li Jing. He sold it for a good price, and a Yizhou was exchanged for a county king title and a festival envoy position, and this business is really good at doing. It's the same with Lee Si Won, I went missing in Ulju. But he did not send a single soldier to the rescue. Forced to negotiate with Li Jing to do business. ‘

"King Jin. I think this is just an expedient measure, and they will never ignore the life and death of King Jin. ”

"Really?" Li Ke shook his head with a cold face, "Wake up, Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan are really as good as you say?" Then why did Li Siyuan rush to send my daughter and son to Youzhou? Why didn't Li Sizhao wait to give Yizhou to Li Jing? At that time, Li Jing hadn't found any so-called my bones, right? Two traitors! ”

Li Cunzhang was speechless, whether it was Li Siyuan sending the children of King Jin to Yanjing, or Li Sizhao handing over Yizhou to Li Jing, these two things. All made Li Keyong very angry. Even if there are thousands of reasons to do this, it still can't escape the suspicion of betrayal.

"They've lost my trust!" Lick said in a hateful voice. "I want to take back my Shatuo Kingdom from these two rebels, Cunzhang, I believe in your loyalty, are you willing to help me recapture Shatuo?"

"King, I will always be loyal to you, and I will never betray you." Li Cunzhang said humbly, kneeling in front of him again and swearing.

Li Keyong reached out again to help him up, very satisfied with this righteous son. In the past, he always looked down on the indecision of this righteous son, but now. Ability is no longer the first place in his view of people, loyalty is what Li Keyong values the most. No doubt. Li Cunzhang's loyalty has undergone many observations and tests in his secret.

"My lord, what are you going to do? How do you recapture Shatuo? ”

Li Keyong raised his head and looked at the sky. "Both Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao have their own henchmen, and the key to what we need to do now is to take back control of the army. Now there is a good opportunity, 50,000 Shatuo soldiers and horses gathered here, Li Siyuan is far away in Yunzhou, although Li Sizhao is here, but we can slowly observe the generals in the contact army, and if we find a credible person, we will bring it to meet me. When the time comes, we can raid Li Sizhao's camp, and then I will appear before the army, and my Shatuo soldiers will surely be loyal to me again. With these 50,000 soldiers and horses, even if Li Siyuan controls Yanmen and Datong, what is there to fear? ”

When it comes to his plans, Li Keyong is full of confidence.

Although there is no strong evidence that Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao have betrayed him, Li Keyong still chooses to be cautious.

It is better to kill by mistake than to let go.

He would never give others a chance to betray him, and he would never allow himself to face the same predicament as before.

"Do you really want to do that? If they blame Si Zhao and Si Yuan, it will completely break their hearts. Li Cunzhang said.

"I like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms the most, he has a very good saying, I'd rather be the people of the world than the people of the world to bear me!. I am the King of Shatuo, and I am responsible for the revival of Shatuo. We can't afford to fail, so if I sin them wrong, there is nothing we can do, because we can't afford to take the risk. If they betray so-and-so, and so-and-so still believes in them, then it is not only the end of so-and-so, but also the end of Shata. ”

"Where is the king now? Can we go back now? ”

"So-and-so? So-and-so is staying in a safe and secret place now, and as for you, you can't go with me right now. Now the time is not ripe, you have to continue to stay by Li Sizhao's side and keep an eye on him. When the time is ripe, I will send Mi Rong to inform you again, and when the time comes, you will help me take down Li Sizhao, a traitor. ”

Li Cunzhang nodded, and a complicated feeling rose in his heart. On the one hand, he was overjoyed at the safe return of King Jin. But on the other hand, he was keenly aware that the King of Jin who came back this time was no longer the original King of Jin. This is not only because of the frightening scar on the face of the current King of Jin, but also because of the great change in the mentality of the King of Jin. He became more and more suspicious, and he didn't trust Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao at all.

He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but in his heart he finally decided to follow King Jin closely.

"The King." Li Cunzhang said in a deep voice, "After I go back, can I quietly win over some of the generals who are loyal to the king, and reveal to them a little bit about the king's safety?" He said seriously, "In the army, I also have a lot of credible subordinates, if the king agrees to contact me, I am sure that I can attract a group of reliable people, and at a critical time, I can play a greater role." ”

Li Keyong pondered for a long time, "It's too risky, the news that I'm still alive must be kept secret, and too many people can't know about it." You can choose the most credible confidant to reveal a little, but don't be careful. After a while, Mi Rong will follow you back, and he will be your groom from now on, and if I have any news for you, it will pass through him. If you have tidings for me, do it through him. Beyond that, the message can no longer be delivered by anyone's hands? ”

"I remember." Li Cunzhang said.

"Also, if you are in front of Li Sizhao, or in front of other generals, you must not show any appearance of knowing my whereabouts. Remember, if any one of them misses, maybe our heads, will be cut off and thrown into some unknown wood, to be eaten by wild wolves. ”

Li Cunzhang nodded, "Understood." ”

"Remember, Li Sizhao is no longer your righteous brother, he is a rebel who betrayed Sha Tuo and betrayed me."

"Zhilu Dao."

"Also, we need to be patient."

"I will." He promised, "But, please also ask King Jin to be okay as soon as possible?" ”

"I will." Li Keyong nodded, "Now, you should go back, otherwise it will attract attention after a long time." ”

Li Cunzhang nodded, then turned around and knelt down on one knee again, "King, I will always be loyal to you and will never betray you!" (To be continued......)
