surnamed Wang

Wang Yijing was not surprised by Zhao Hou's reaction. It would only be a ghost if the other party could agree happily.

Once Cheng Xing dies, it will be difficult for anyone in the world to make this "Zilong" sincerely obedient. However, Wang Yijing is not asking for a wife. He just likes her ability. As long as he can work hard on the battlefield in the future, it doesn't matter whether he is sincere or not. .

"Zhao Qianhu, I won't say any more clichés. I know I can't scare you. You are different from the corpses in the pit. You don't believe in such nonsense as being loyal to your duties. As long as you are willing to nod, you will be the commander-in-chief."

Zhao Hou still looked at him coldly, not even bothering to reply. Wang Yijing saw this and smiled:
"Oh, this general likes people with strong tempers. Did you see that old guy on the wooden stake? It was easy for everyone to discuss it, but he came up and scolded my grandpa. As for the past, not to mention killing him with a thousand cuts, even if he killed the nine tribes, it would be considered light."

Zhao Hou sneered and said nothing, naturally he didn't believe that the other party could have a grandpa with a profound background.

Wang Yijing didn't explain much, waved his hand and stepped back, then came closer and said:
"Zhao Hou, I heard that there is a girl in General Cheng's family who has not yet left the government. She is as beautiful as a flower. If he dies, how should a daughter's family deal with the gangsters who come to harass her?"

Zhao Hou, who was still looking cold at first, suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and he said:
"What do you want to do?"

"Look at what you said. I am also a general after all. How could I bully a weak woman like her? We have nothing to do with each other, so of course we will do nothing."

Zhao Hou is not stupid, he knows that if the news of General Cheng's death reaches his hometown, those who covet Cheng Xi's beauty will definitely take action.

When Cheng Xing was still alive, Zhao Hou accompanied him to his hometown once. A squire in the local county fell in love with Cheng Xi and sent people to his door again and again to propose marriage.

The squire had raped many women of the common people before, and his reputation was ruined. If it weren't for General Cheng's intimidation, Cheng Xi would have become an unknown number of concubines.

When Wang Yijing said this, he was neither lying nor threatening. He said he would do nothing, but he really meant he would do nothing.

Zhao Hou thought for a long time, and finally could not just watch the officer's family being bullied, so he said:

"I can join you, but you have to keep her safe."

"Don't worry, I've sent someone to take care of it a long time ago."

Wang Yijing seemed to have expected it. He put his arm around the opponent's shoulders and said:
"When you succeed one day, Zilong, you are at least a general. At that time, I will ask King Wu to grant a marriage and let that woman be the general's wife. How about that?"

Zhao Hou expressionlessly pushed the opponent's arm away, hit a stick and gave him a date to eat. It was a very old-fashioned method, but it really worked. Now he was no longer so disgusted with the opponent.

After subduing a strong general, Wang Yijing was in a good mood and said with a smile:

"From now on, we are brothers who fight side by side. Youdao is a real brother. Let's settle the score. Should I repay the debt you owe me?"

"What do I owe you?"

Zhao Hou was a little confused.

While he was talking, a bamboo pole suddenly pierced out from behind and hit Zhao Hou's waist. The young man took a breath of cold air and almost felt pain.

He turned around and glared angrily at the fat man behind him, "Dou Tiancheng, do you want to die?"

"General Zhao, don't blame me, it's General Wang's order."

Zhao Hou turned his head in surprise, only to see Wang Yijing smiling.

"It's indeed my order. You guys gave me a lift earlier, but this time it's even."

Zhao Hou rubbed his lower back with contempt, after all you are a general with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you be so small-minded?

……

After Zhao Hou was dealt with, the conversation continued. Dozens of generals were brought to the pit one after another, either killed or kept. The bottom of the pit was soon covered with a thick layer of corpses.

Finally it was the turn of Sima Kuan and his son. They were brought in front of Wang Yijing. The young man looked at the dead Pao Ze in the pit, his eyes filled with blood.

"Both of you, we are all smart people. Let me put it bluntly. These people who survive have more or less weaknesses. What will be buried in the pit are upright and bloody men.

Of course, the one on the wooden stake does not count. His nephew oppressed good people and occupied land, causing harm to one party. Yu Qianhu knew it but did not stop him. He also sent troops to suppress those people. Even if he was beheaded alive, it would be a light crime.

You father and son have never done anything untoward, but you do have weaknesses. I didn't want to use this as a blackmail, but my military life is at stake, so I hope you can think carefully about it. "

The father and son looked at each other and knew, needless to say, that their weakness was right next to them.

Wang Yijing didn't want to make things look too ugly. He could kill a general without blinking an eye, but he couldn't torture his son in front of a father.

He was born into the royal family, and his surname is the surname of the country. He goes into battle to kill the enemy and defend his own country, so he should spare no effort.He really didn't understand why a person could be so determined to be loyal to outsiders regardless of the life and death of his family members, and still end up with the surname Wang in this world.

This kind of loyalty is simply foolish loyalty, but Sima Kuan is foolishly loyal to the end.

The young Sima Chengguang also followed his father's stubbornness, raised his neck, and said firmly:
"Don't talk so much nonsense. There has never been a coward in our Sima family. Let's do it."

Seeing that his son was not greedy for life or afraid of death, Sima Kuan comforted him, straightened his waist and looked forward, his meaning was self-evident.

Wang Yijing knew that no matter how much he did, it would be useless, so he turned his back and said "do it".

……

In Sinan Fucheng, King Wu was drinking tea in the study and reading a secret letter. There was a knock on the door, and Wang Yijing pushed the door open and entered.

"My lord, it's done."

"How many people were killed?"

"Those who refused to join were 33, leaving 28."

"More than I thought."

King Wu put down the secret message, and he didn't know whether he was talking more about living people or dead people.

The young man hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty, I took it upon myself to let Sima Kuan and his son go. They were escorted back to Xi'an to work as laborers. They do not pose a threat."

"Ah."

Wang Siheng's reaction was indifferent, as if he had already classified the other party as a woman's benevolent person. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The young man continued:

"Oh, by the way, my subordinate just chopped up Yu Jianli."

King Wu almost spit out a mouthful of water. Looking at Wang Yijing's playful smile, he was not sure whether he was a living god or a living king of hell.

After chatting for a while about the arrangements for surrendering the army, King Wu sighed and said:

"The capital has already started taking action. Your Majesty plans to use Liu Muqing and other generals' families to contain me."

"It does look like his behavior. What is the prince planning to do?"

The man handed over the secret letter with a solemn expression. Wang Yijing took it and read it, then raised his head and said:
"Does the princess know?"

King Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't dare to tell her."

"Then you're done!"

The young man's tone was rather gloating.

The secret message was sent by the wolf guards in the capital. They originally received orders from the princess to arrange for Liu Muqing to leave the city, but the emperor was a step faster and imprisoned the chief assistant in the heavily guarded prison of the Ministry of Punishment in advance.

The person who came up with the idea was Liu Baoqing, the current right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Looking at the familiar name on the letter, Wang Yijing couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. The friendship between the two was not very deep, but they had shared the same sorrows and sorrows. This was the situation when they met again.

"Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."

"what?"

"No matter what the final result is, can Liu Baoqing be spared?"

King Wu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"can."
