Dragon Warrior

Chapter 168
Following Wang Baobao's order, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty made way for a smooth path, Xiao Jing held King Ruyang's wrist with his left hand, and the dragon-slaying knife in his right, and walked out of the camp calmly and peacefully.On the way, I gathered the Mingjiao people and the heroes who were fighting righteously, and then returned to Guangmingding all the way from the secret path under the watchful eyes of Yuan soldiers.

There are not many people on Bright Peak at this moment, and most of them have participated in the battle of the upper and lower joint attacks. Although there is a truce at this time, they did not turn around so quickly.

The heroes looked excited, they didn't expect to succeed in one blow, and they really captured Ruyang King. In this way, not only the wind in the Central Plains martial arts was greatly increased, but also the catastrophe was resolved invisibly.

And as Xiao Jing, who led everyone to achieve a feat this time, needless to say, the admiration and admiration of the heroes.

Xiao Jing brought him into a room, ordered people to call for hot water and food, and then stopped disturbing.As soon as he came out, he saw Zhao Min rushing over, his eyes were reddish and he asked, "How is my father?"

Xiao Jing said: "Don't worry, he and your brother are not hurt at all, as soon as the Yuan soldiers at the foot of the mountain retreat, I will send him back immediately, and I will never humiliate him."

Zhao Min hummed and said, "I'll go in and see him."

Xiao Jing said: "Let him be quiet first, it won't be too late for you to see him again tomorrow."

Zhao Min said: "No need, my father must be very uncomfortable at the moment, I want to go in and accompany him."

Xiao Jing said: "Then we have to wait until he has finished washing up, good boy, I won't do anything to him, don't you trust me?"

Zhao Min said: "I naturally believe in you, but my father is loyal and resolute by nature. I am afraid that he will not compromise, and he is unwilling to give up this god-given opportunity because of his own safety."

Xiao Jing thought for a while, and said: "Don't worry, I naturally have a way to persuade him. A person like him actually has obvious weaknesses. As long as he finds the right method, he won't have to worry about not giving in."

Zhao Min felt at ease, and waited outside the door until King Ruyang cleaned up, then opened the door and entered.

Xiao Jing was not interested in the scene where their father and daughter met, so she went back to her room to take a rest.

The sky soon became bright, heroes from all walks of life returned to the top of the light one after another, and the heads of various factions began to discuss how to use King Ruyang to make Yuan soldiers retreat.

After a while, King Ruyang was brought to him. He no longer had the anger and unwillingness of last night, and his face was tired and calm. He was sitting in the hall with Zhao Min's support, apparently accepting the fact that he was a prisoner.

Xiao Jing said: "I'm not going to play tricks anymore, the prince should know why we came here for you."

King Ruyang said indifferently: "If I want this king to issue an order to withdraw troops, it is delusional. If I exchange my life for the entire Mingjiao demons and more than [-]% of the Central Plains martial arts masters, I will not lose at all."

Xiao Jing said: "Even if the prince has such a heart, I'm afraid the prince will not think so. In fact, from the moment we captured the prince, the result is already doomed. With the prince as a bargaining chip, the prince will not retreat?"

King Ruyang suddenly opened his eyes and looked over, his eyes were fierce like a lion, and said: "The army under the mountain only obeys the orders of this king alone. Although my son has some prestige, he can't decide the actions of the army. If you want to take me as a hostage, then It's delusional."

Xiao Jing waved his hand to silence the cries of the grumpy man, and said: "Why is it so, my lord? Sometimes it is easy to ask for death, but it is a hundred times more difficult to live with humiliation. As long as you promise to retreat, we promise not to hurt a hair of yours. "

King Ruyang sneered and said, "How dare you? Fifty thousand elite soldiers have gathered at the foot of the mountain, and more troops are coming in a steady stream. With your mob, can you stop 5 or 10 people for a few days? If I make a mistake, Kunlun Mountain will be flattened, and all of you will be buried with me."

Seeing that King Ruyang had a tough attitude, stubborn and grumpy, the heroes started to curse, but King Ruyang didn't care, and sat aside with a sneer on his face.

Xiao Jing said: "My lord's idea is good, but if the lord is in our hands, would the people down the mountain dare to launch an attack? After ten days and a half months, I'll wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and the lord will have no chance to negotiate terms."

King Ruyang said: "You don't need to scare me. Even if there are troops from all over the Mingjiao to come to the rescue, how fast can the scattered troops come? If you don't know how to live or die and fight on your own, it will be more convenient for me to surround the mountain to help. He Waiting for work with leisure, and defeating each one, those tired teachers who came from a long distance will more or less die."

Xiao Jing frowned secretly, and exchanged a glance with Zhang Wuji, feeling troubled in his heart.This King Ruyang is very scheming, it is really not easy to be fooled, and what he said is also very reasonable, Wang Baobao's way of using troops is no less than that of his father, and he is also a difficult opponent.

He thought for a while and said: "Since the prince refuses to retreat, then I have nothing to say. Don't worry, I will not kill you. I will keep you in the Central Plains and let you watch with your own eyes. How did the Great Yuan Dynasty collapse step by step for half a lifetime."

King Ruyang said forcefully: "Dream, with my son here, and the return artillery to help, you will not escape."

Xiao Jing said: "With my martial arts and you as a hostage, it is easy to break out of the siege. Although the son is very skilled in war, he is young and inexperienced. Can he fight against the old fox in the court? Can he restrain those arrogant soldiers?" Are you a strong general? Without you as a pillar in the Yuan court, and the prince is not popular with everyone, it will be difficult to resist the surging rebels from all over the world, so what's the use of destroying the main altar of Mingjiao in Kunlun Mountain?"

King Ruyang remained silent, as if he was thinking about Xiao Jing's words.

Xiao Jing went on to say: "The Yuanting community that you have devoted half your life to is collapsing step by step. You are clearly alive and have the opportunity to turn the tide, but you can only watch from the sidelines. My lord, this is the feeling that life is worse than death. A man can bend and stretch, Do you choose to live humiliatingly for Yuanting Sheji, or die generously for a moment of pride? Both behaviors are admirable, but one is as heavy as Mount Tai, and the other is as light as a feather. The prince claims to be loyal to Dayuan all his life, but he does not Willing to endure humiliation for the sake of the Dayuan community, it can be seen that in the heart of the prince, the most important thing is his own feathers and his status in history, not the real existence of the Dayuan."

King Ruyang closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I promise to retreat."

Seeing that King Ruyang was no longer obstinate, the heroes immediately showed joy.At this time, they still don't know about the fact that King Ruyang used fake return guns to defraud them, so they all thought that if King Ruyang launched an attack desperately, Guangmingding would definitely not be able to defend it.Of course, taking a step back, even with the soldiers and horses recruited continuously by the Yuan Court, even if they were filled with human lives, it would be difficult for everyone to resist.

Xiao Jing nodded and said: "Very well, please write the order to withdraw the troops immediately, and I will send someone to send it to the son. When the army at the foot of the mountain retreats, I will let the prince leave safely."

Since King Ruyang had already decided to compromise, he decided to simply write a secret order and hand it over to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing said: "Wei Bat King's qinggong is excellent, he comes and goes quickly, and it is easier to get out of danger. Why don't I trouble you to go there and send the secret letter to Wang Baobao."

Wei Yi smiled and said: "Everyone, don't worry, I guarantee that there will be no mistakes." After receiving the letter, he went straight down the mountain.

The big event has been decided, Xiao Jing sent King Ruyang back to the guest room, and told him not to wander around, so as not to encounter people with bad temper or ulterior motives, and be plotted against.

King Ruyang accepted it calmly, stayed in the house accompanied by Zhao Min, and did not go anywhere.

In the afternoon, Wei Yixiao returned safely, saying that he had handed over the letter to Wang Baobao himself.When he came back, Wang Baobao had already summoned the generals to discuss the matter of withdrawing troops.

Xiao Jing nodded and ordered people to investigate the situation carefully.In the early morning of the next day, the camp at the foot of the mountain was indeed empty, and the Yuan soldiers retreated overnight, and they were already dozens of miles away.

Xiao Jing still didn't dare to be negligent, so people continued to monitor him, until five or six days later, Yuan soldiers retreated hundreds of miles, and Mingjiao's nearby reinforcements were about to arrive, did they feel relieved.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Jing and the heroes reached a consensus and decided to let King Ruyang go home.Although there were many people who proposed to take the opportunity to kill King Ruyang, they were opposed by the vast majority.Heroes in the Jianghu often value their promises and neglect their lives, and they pay attention to what they say. How can they easily go back on the conditions they agreed before?Even if King Ruyang is the opposing party, they don't bother to lie and cheat.

When King Ruyang left, many people from the group of heroes were watching.Xiao Jing planned to give him a ride in person, lest someone with ulterior motives would plot against him along the way.

When he was about to go down the mountain, King Ruyang turned his head to look at Zhao Min who was standing aside, and said, "Minmin, won't you go back with me?"

Zhao Min hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "Father, you go back first! After a while, my daughter will definitely come home to visit you."

King Ruyang's face darkened, and he said in a blunt tone: "In a few months, it will be your mother's death anniversary. If you don't even participate in your mother's death anniversary, then you will never come back in the future, and I will treat you as if I didn't have you." This daughter."

Zhao Min turned pale and said, "This..."

King Ruyang said coldly: "Whether you go back with me now, or break up with your father from now on, you can choose for yourself."

Zhao Min's face was pale, and her heart was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, she was reluctant to leave Xiao Jing, and on the other hand, she was absolutely unwilling to sever ties with her father and brother. What's more, she really wanted to go back to pay homage to her mother. Xiao Jing.

Seeing that King Ruyang was determined, Xiao Jing didn't seem to be joking, so she pulled Zhao Min back and said, "You go back with your father first! After I finish my work here, I will immediately go to the capital to find you, and I will take you away when the time comes."

Zhao Min felt relieved a little, and said: "My father was arrested by you, I was afraid that he would have a big opinion on you, and seeing me by your side, he would be even more angry, so he forced me to go back. If I don't want to go back with him , He is afraid that he will really break up with me."

Xiao Jing said: "Don't worry, we will meet again in a short time. Well, it will not exceed a year at most, and I will definitely come to pick you up."

Zhao Min's eyes were slightly red, but he smiled and said: "I believe in you, I will wait for your return in Beijing."

Then he turned around and walked to King Ruyang, and went straight down the mountain.Xiao Jing sighed in his heart, and followed him until he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Thousands of yuan soldiers were waiting at the foot of the mountain, took Ruyang King and Zhao Min back to the formation, and rode away.
