The sun had not yet risen, the air was filled with the chill of dawn, the night rain had washed away all the dirt, and the grass was covered with clear dew.

Da-da-da-da.

Several fast horses galloped down the street without stopping, and in a moment they came to a palace, led by a noble man dressed in a rich white robe, wearing a golden crown and silk shoes, and a look of excitement on his tired face that could not be concealed.

"Sanjiang City Taishou Zhou Li knocked to see His Highness, His Highness came from afar, these subordinates did not notify in advance, the lower officials have lost their welcome, and ask His Highness for forgiveness. An

old man with a few family members stood at the door in disheveled clothes to greet these sudden visitors, and a group of people did not even dare to breathe, for fear of offending them and making them unhappy.

"It's okay, what about the others, what's going on now?"

"Your Royal Highness, General Liu has been injured a little, and the lower official has arranged for General Liu to rest in the guest room. "

Take me there.

"Yes. The

bedroom was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and on a bed made of golden silk nanmu lay a man with a sturdy figure but covered in wounds.

"How his injuries are. Looking

at the injured man on the bed, the face of the man in the fancy dress was like frost, and the air in the entire room seemed to drop a little.

The old man on the side replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, rest assured, the lower official has summoned the best doctor in the city to diagnose General Liu, although General Liu has many wounds on his body, most of them are skin injuries, and they have not injured the internal organs, but the days of running and mental tension have led to overwork and need a lot of rest." Hearing

this, the prince in the fancy clothes finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the look on his face gradually relaxed, this noble son who was dusty was none other than Chu Tianjiao, the second prince of Jiang Chuguo, and the injured person who was lying on the bed and sleeping was Liu Xinghe, who escaped death.

After learning that Liu Xinghe had returned to Sanjiang City, Chu Tianjiao rushed from the capital to Sanjiang City non-stop, and he was worried along the way, for fear that something would happen to Liu Xinghe, but now he was relieved to learn that he was fine.

"Do you want to wake up General Liu and let the two of you catch up with the old days?"

"No need!" Chu Tianjiao interrupted Zhou Li's thoughts: "General Liu is so tired, let's let him rest well, don't disturb him." There are still important matters to be dealt with in this palace, go first, and when General Liu wakes up, you have to inform this palace as soon as possible, do you know!"

After sending Chu Tianjiao away, Zhou Li let out a long sigh.

"Fortunately, the old man went to the city gate yesterday, otherwise not to mention my black gauze hat, even my whole family's life would not be guaranteed.

Thinking of the scene when he met Liu Xinghe before, Zhou Li felt scared for a while. It was yesterday at dawn, probably at this hour, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhou Li didn't know why he got up a few hours earlier than before, because he was bored Zhou Li decided to go out for a walk, and he came to the city gate in a daze.

At this time, Zhou Li suddenly heard a commotion at the gate of the city, so he walked over and found that it was the officer guarding the city who was pushing and arguing with a man in tattered clothes.

"Why are you arguing here?" The

officer guarding the city saw that it was Taishou coming, so he immediately said flatteringly: "Lord Taishou, there is nothing to do, just catch a spy who wants to sneak into the city, and the small ones will deal with it, so don't bother with it." "

At this time, the war has just ended, Sanjiang City is a military town and has just been conquered, so the defense is very strict, Zhou Li, as the Taishou of Sanjiang City, naturally does not dare to slack off, so he wants to personally interrogate this spy.

Zhou Li carefully looked at the man who was suppressed by several officers, and saw that this man was in tatters, his body was full of scars, his appearance was handsome but bloodless, and his body was strong but weak.

Before Zhou Li could ask, the man shouted angrily first: "What kind of spy, it is clear that you are asking me for a bribe, and if I don't give it, you will slander me and want to take my merit to receive a reward." Hearing

this, the officer guarding the city changed his face and said: "Nonsense! My lord, this kid is spewing blood, sowing discord, and just now he dared to talk nonsense, saying that he is Liu Xinghe, the general of Zhenxi, I think it is clearly a spy, so let's correct the law on the spot."

"

Liu Xinghe?" Zhou Li frowned when he heard this name, after all, Liu Xinghe's name had already spread all over the country, and his relationship with the current second prince was also well known, and it was impossible for anyone to dare to pretend to be him without opening their eyes.

Zhou Li looked at this man who looked like a beggar carefully, he didn't know if he didn't see it, he was startled when he saw it, he recognized this person at a glance as Liu Xinghe, the long-missing general of Jiang Chuguo's Zhenxi, Zhou Li was also there when Liu Xinghe was fighting for the front, and he was sure that he would not be mistaken.

Seeing that Zhou Li recognized himself, Liu Xinghe's eyes rolled and said: "You are the Taishou of Sanjiang City, I have already contacted the second prince by letter, His Royal Highness will come over in a few days, General Ben is tired now, take me to rest."

Zhou Li heard that he dared to slack off, and immediately drank the retreat of the city guards and brought Liu Xinghe back to the Taishou Mansion, after which Zhou Li not only carefully arranged food and accommodation for Liu Xinghe but also found the best doctor to heal his injuries, after Liu Xinghe finally couldn't hold on to sleep, Zhou Li not only took the initiative to write a secret letter and quickly sent it to the capital, but also immediately disposed of the city guards.

"Fortunately, everything has been taken care of, I hope this General Liu will not trouble me again in the future. Zhou Li wiped the beads of sweat on his head, turned to the housekeeper on the side and said, "You have served me well for the past few days, don't offend." The

butler took the order and left, and at this time the sky was also white.

The wheat harvest is the busiest time of the year, looking at the endless golden wheat fields, the breeze blows the golden waves and rolls, the heavy ears of wheat bend the wheat stalks, the morning sun crosses the golden wheat fields, the scarecrow lazily opens his hazy sleepy eyes, and the most beautiful scenery freezes in an instant.

"It's been a good year. "

This year, there can be such a scene of national peace and security, thanks to you, if you didn't strategize and kill the enemy, all this would no longer exist, by the way, are you better now?"

"Looking at this yellow cancan wheat field that can not be seen at a glance, I thought of the jars of wheat, steaming white buns, and gnocchi soup with oil flowers, and suddenly the spirit came up, full of energy, and all the efforts were worth it. "

On the ridge of the field, two young men were sitting under a big tree, sipping tea and playing chess. One of the two men was wearing a white silk robe, with a golden four-clawed golden python embroidered with gold thread on his luxurious clothes, and the black robe on the other man was half-open, revealing the bandages inside, these two were Chu Tianjiao, the second prince of Jiang Chuguo, and Liu Xinghe, the general of Zhenxi.

Liu Xinghe poured a large mouthful of Longjing and asked, "What happened after I left?How did Sanjiang City break the siege?"

Chu Tianjiao took a sip of fragrant tea and his face was heavy: "After you left with the Changsheng army that day, I also led the troops back to the city to guard the ......."

After Chu Tianjiao returned to the city with the generals, Xishu also retreated, and then the two sides began to continue to attrition again in Sanjiang City, during which the Xishu army still did not attack the city, but it has been preventing the Jiang Chu army from leaving.

As time passed, even though the food was carefully restricted, the food in the city was eventually exhausted. At this time, nearly a month had passed since Liu Xinghe's plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and Chu Tianjiao gradually lost hope in his heart.

"Brother Xinghe, it seems that you are probably more than lucky, but it's a pity that I can't go below to accompany you, I didn't expect me to be so cowardly in this life.

Chu Tianjiao stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy army outside the city, his face flashed with despair, and then he turned to the army and said: "Brothers, now that the city has run out of ammunition and food, I want to die for the country, so wait for the city to surrender."

"Your Highness can't, I'm willing to fight a bloody road with Your Highness." "

Although the remnants of the army in the city are exhausted, they all have firm eyes, and the people of Jiangchu will never surrender.

"Okay!" Looking at the soldiers who regarded death as home, Chu Tianjiao's heart also ignited a trace of fighting spirit, and he roared: "Since this is the case, then let's kill him and shake the mountain, and the herald obeys the order, immediately start the pot to cook, and kill the soldiers after they are full of food and drink!"

"

At this time, the Western Shu side sent an envoy to talk.

"Are you here to persuade you to surrender? Don't think in vain, I, Jiang Chunan, can only die in battle, and will never surrender. Chu Tianjiao summoned the envoy and reprimanded him angrily: "The two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, you go back." "

Please calm your anger, my general knows the loyalty of the soldiers of your country, so he doesn't want to persuade him to surrender, but now that our two sides have been holding each other for so long, both armies are tired, it is better to decide the victory or defeat in a direct

battle, how about it?" Chu Tianjiao originally thought that the other party was here to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't expect that he was here to write a war letter, and he was suddenly a little incredible, after all, with the strength of the other party, he could trap them to death, so he asked: "Oh, how to decide the outcome of a battle?"

The messenger smiled and said: "Your Highness, now we have been holding each other for a long time, and there is no way to fight again, there is a mountain outside Sanjiang City, called 'Holy Maiden Peak', our army and your army had a big battle on the mountain before, why don't we fight again, when the time comes, life and death will be in peace, and there is no need to consume it like this, how?" "

Anyway, I decided to fight to the death, instead of fighting the trapped beasts, it is better to do a real battle with a real knife and a real gun, maybe there is still a chance." Chu Tianjiao thought to himself for a while in his heart, so he said to the envoy: "That's fine, go back and tell you the general, we have taken this challenge, when?"

Two days later, the Holy Maiden Peak will be duel. "

It's a word. "

A gentleman's words are hard to chase.

Chu Tianjiao high-fived the envoy as an oath.

After sending off the envoy, Chu Tianjiao said to the army: "Since the other party has come down to fight the book, this also saves us a lot of things, now everyone go back to eat and drink well, let the other party live for two more days, and when the time comes, bring a little aura link to those Shu children and jungle barbarians!"

Under the passionate cheers of all the soldiers, Chu Tianjiao looked up at the sky, silently reciting someone's name in his heart, and his eyes gradually became firm.
