Gu Shen hoped that Cheng would make a clear judgment on Pang Jing, Zhong Heng paced three steps, turned around and took three more steps, and said, "He is a smart man." ”

"Where's the cleverness?"

"The first thing the new official did when he took office was to muddy the water in the pool, instead of having a good relationship with the 'big fish', which, according to my guess, was a sign of extreme dissatisfaction with the status quo and at the same time extreme self-confidence. If the protector of the Western Regions wants to change the pattern of Biyu City, it is probably a good thing for the Dragon King. ”

Gu Shenwei agreed with the prime minister's analysis, but he was noncommittal about the conclusion, and when he walked into the camp of the Central Plains army with a few retinues, he still regarded Pang Jing as a figure to be determined.

Pang Jing chose to meet the Dragon King outside the city, which was the result of private negotiations between the two parties, in any case, it was impossible for the Dragon King to visit him at the Governor's Mansion like Meng Mingshu, so he could only meet in the military camp as usual.

As soon as they met, Pang Jing showed an informal surname, stepped down from the main seat, greeted the Dragon King like a gust of wind, and saluted with his fists like a Jianghu person, "Finally saw the real person of the Dragon King, it is not in vain that I came to Biyu City in the wind and snow for thousands of miles, I only hate that I have no free body, otherwise I will run to the Dragon Army camp early in the morning and ask to be a small soldier, why not meet today?"

Pang Jing's enthusiasm often overwhelms people who meet for the first time, Gu Shenwei learned this from the intelligence, so he was prepared, "How dare you, General Pang is a distinguished guest of the Central Plains, and people have heard it before they arrive, and every piece of paper on my desk in the past two days has the word 'General Pang', and the general is really not a stranger." ”

Pang Jing laughed, took the dragon king's arm and walked inside, and personally sent the dragon king into the guest seat, but he did not return to the main seat, but stood in front of the dragon king, his face was full of curious expressions unique to young people, if it were not for the residual frostbite marks, he would look younger than the dragon king.

Several generals also performed their duties, inviting the dragon king's retinue to accompany him.

"It's only been two days since the Dragon King heard my name, but I've heard the legend of the Dragon King since a year ago, and I've admired it for a long time, so as soon as I heard that there was an opportunity to come to the Western Regions, I took the initiative to ask for it. Please forgive me for being reckless, there is one thing I have been holding in my heart for a long time, do you really have a living Dapeng bird? It is several feet tall, has a long beak like a knife, and can roll out the people around it for more than ten miles with a single wing......

Pang Jing's eyes were shining, and if he got a negative answer, he would probably be extremely disappointed.

Gu Shenwei nodded, "There is a Dapeng bird, but it is not a few zhang tall, only a little taller than ordinary people, and it will not feed on living people, if its wings can sweep away the people around it, it probably won't be able to eat living people." ”

"Haha, yes, where is it? Can I see it? Just look at it from afar. ”

"It's not with me, maybe not in the Western Regions, it's always looking for me, I can't find it. ”

Pang Jing was really disappointed, and sighed, "It's a coincidence, I really hope that I can serve the Dragon King around, so that sooner or later I will have the opportunity to meet the Dapeng Bird." ”

Shangguan Fei was one of the entourages brought by the Dragon King, and he got up from his seat with courage, and interjected with a smile: "General Pang is interested in the Dapeng Bird? Many people here have seen it......

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Pang Jing asked, turning around, as if the Dragon King's description could not satisfy his curiosity.

"Several of us have seen it. Shangguan Fei pointed to Chu Nanping and the other three guards, "That Dapeng bird appears every time the Dragon King is in crisis, as if it has a sense of connection with the Dragon King thousands of miles away. ”

"This is terrible, with the current strength of the Dragon King, who can still bring him a crisis?

Shangguan Fei hurriedly corrected his statement, "That's not necessarily, Dapeng Bird loves to play, and often comes to the Dragon King when it's fine, Xiao Chu, don't you say?"

Pang Jing turned to Chu Nanping and looked at the swordsman who was as handsome as a girl, "Do you often see Dapeng birds?"

"Ever. Chu Nanping said.

"Tell me, what color is the Dapeng bird, what is the hobby, what is the sound ......?"

Chu Nanping interrupted Pang Jing flatly, "The Dragon King is sitting there, there must be something more important to say than the Dapeng Bird." ”

Pang Jing looked suddenly enlightened, and saluted to the Dragon King, "The Dragon King is not strange, the ignorant person is out of shape for a while. ”

"Everyone has a sense of curiosity, and the Dapeng bird is a natural artifact, and there are many people who are interested in it. ”

"Exactly, how many artifacts can people see in their lifetime? Pang Jing seemed to have made up his mind not to talk about business, but still refused to return to the throne, "I heard that the Dragon King has a pair of swords, which are self-evident at night, and when they encounter enemies, they will roar, and when they encounter blood, they will benefit, I wonder if I have a chance to see them?"

Gu Shenwei hesitated for a while, untied the Wufeng knife, and put his hands in Pang Jing's hands, "This knife is made by a Western domain craftsman, it is sharper, and there is no other peculiarity. ”

Pang Jing took the Wufeng knife cautiously as if facing a rare treasure, held the sheath in his left hand, held the handle in his right hand, gently pulled it out, put it in front of his eyes and carefully appreciated it, and danced twice, he actually looked like it, and it was rumored that he had practiced martial arts, which seemed to be true.

"Good knives. After a while, Pang Jing put the knife into the sheath, praised it sincerely, and returned the weapon to the Dragon King, "A good knife must also have a good master, this knife is as sharp as ever, but there is no half of the polishing marks, obviously the Dragon King used it well." ”

"Prizes. Gu Shenwei said perfunctorily, this newly appointed protector of the Western Regions worships the Dragon King more than the soldiers in the army, and the more realistic he behaves, the deeper Gu Shenwei's vigilance.

"It is rumored that the Dragon King's sword does not leave his body, but what about another sword?"

"For those who are better at using swords. ”

Pang Jing followed the Dragon King's gaze and looked at Chu Nanping, groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "I heard that the master under the command of the Dragon King is like a cloud, there is only one swordsman, who has followed the Dragon King for the longest time, his appearance is extraordinary, and his swordsmanship is superb, Chu Jun Nanping, but Your Excellency?"

Chu Nanping frowned slightly, "It's me." Then he lowered his gaze, neither showing the dragon head sword, nor did he mean to chat.

Shangguan Fei coughed twice, thinking that he could arouse Pang Jing's interest, but he found nothing.

Pang Jing was bored and didn't care, but finally sat down on the main seat, and said: "I came to Biyu City, in fact, I just want to do one thing, preside over the competition, and elect the lord of Biyu City. ”

"King Xiao left in a hurry, but everything is not clear. ”

Pang Jing made a look, and the accompanying generals got up and retreated, Shangguan Fei, Chu Nanping and others also withdrew, and when there were only two people left, Pang Jing's expression became more serious, "The Dragon King may have doubts in his heart, please rest assured, I am close friends with His Royal Highness King Xiao, I understand his plan, and I will follow it unswervingly, the Dragon King and the Luo family have some grievances, but the state affairs are big, personal enmity must be put aside, and Luo Qikang will never become an obstacle to the Dragon King." ”

"With General Pang's words, I am relieved a lot. ”

"Let's put it plainly, Luo Qikang will defeat the Dubu King, and then lose to the Dragon King as promised. The Dragon King knows more about the Western Regions Martial Arts, do you think this plan is feasible?"

"The swordsman chosen by King Xiao must not be wrong. Gu Shenwei did not directly answer the other party's question.

"Haha, in fact, I think King Xiao's plan is redundant, with the Dragon King's martial arts, there is no problem in sweeping the Western Regions, why do you need the help of the Central Plains swordsman?"

"It's always good to have an extra layer of reassurance. ”

After talking for a while, Pang Jing urgently ended the topic, and changed the conversation, "It makes the Dragon King laugh, the Central Plains sent a team of envoys, and the result is that the deputy envoy secretly collaborates with the enemy, and a serious thing is not done, it is all embarrassing and ugly, alas." ”

"I'm also curious, it is said that the deputy envoy Sun is collaborating with the enemy, but I don't know which enemy it is?"

"Naturally, it is the North Garden, although the world is big, the enemy of the Central Plains is only this one. ”

"This Lord Sun's vision is too bad, Beiting is falling apart, and it is when his strength is the weakest that he actually colludes with it. ”

"It's not about money. Pang Jing lowered his voice slightly, as if what he said was an ulterior secret, "The Dragon King knows about the robbery of the Meng clan in Beicheng, right?"

"Well, I've heard of it. ”

"It was the people of Beiting who did it, and they promised to share half of the stolen silver, and Sun Chengqi was dizzy. ”

No one knows the falsity of this accusation better than Gu Shenwei, but he also made a look of sudden realization, "I see, Sun Chengqi is lost in money." ”

"Who said no, in private, I can understand him, such a large sum of money, who can not be hot? It's me, although I'd rather die than collude with Beiting, but I also want to be able to get a lot of silver, haha. I heard that the wealth of the Meng family was not transported away in time, and it was still hidden somewhere in Biyu City, if the Dragon King is interested, let's dig it out and divide it fifty-fifty. ”

Pang Jing doesn't look like a noble relative of the Central Plains at all, let alone a dignified protector, he is listless when he talks about business, and when he mentions Dapeng birds, swords and treasures, he immediately changes into a person.

"The rumors are not credible, is General Pang sure that the wealth is still in Biyu City?"

Pang Jing showed a mysterious smile that was familiar with the inside story, "There are many people in the Central Plains, and I still have the ability to find out the news, and I also know who is the person who helped the Beiting people rob the Meng family?"

"Oh?"

"When the Meng clan was robbed, the nearest Beiting army was also a few miles away, not to mention that it was not their strong point to cross the wall and cross the household, they had to find someone to help, and it was rumored that it was the Dragon King at one time. ”

Gu Shenwei snorted, neither refuting nor admitting it.

"But I got the news that the real robber is Jinpeng Castle, Dubu Wang has long had the intention of eradicating the Meng family, just take this opportunity to rob the Meng family, and give it to Prince Luo Luo as a gift, who would have thought that the Dragon King and King Xiao would win more with less, forcing Luo Luo far to the far north, this gift was not given, and still remained in Biyu City. ”

"There is this possibility, in this case, I really have to investigate it carefully, fifty-fifty points, does General Pang want these?"

"I'm not greedy, the Meng clan is rich in the Western Regions, and I'm satisfied with half of it. Pang Jing's smile was not commensurate with his resolute square face.

Gu Shenwei returned to the camp and said to Zhong Heng: "This General Pang has a lot of appetite, and he is blackmailing me. ”

Zhong Heng was taken aback, and after the Dragon King finished speaking, he also came to the same conclusion, Pang Jing knew that the Meng family's wealth was in the hands of the Dragon King, and he just wanted to get a piece of the pie.

In the camp of the Central Plains army, Pang Jing was also judging the Dragon King with Luo Qikang, "Look, we can now be sure that the Dragon King is not a friend, the news is fake, but the silver is real, and the Meng family's money is in his hands." ”
