Meng Jiu finally opened his eyes and squinted his eyes and looked at the other side of the river.

The two sides are not far or close, and they are not very real to see, but you can feel that the young man opposite is indeed outstanding.

"At this point, I am really disappointed..."

After sighing with such emotion, Meng Jiu raised his hand and asked Tang Jie: "How many people did he bring out?"

"One thousand people, three thousand people were left in the temple."

Meng Jiu stuttered and smiled, "Three thousand people also want to win Linqing, what a great temperament."

"Take Linqing?"

While talking, Tang Kaiguang looked at the south side of the large dock building connected to the Sinu Temple, the figures of three thousand cavalrymen appeared, running south quickly, getting farther and farther away...

"Is it to take Linqing?"

He asked again with some confusion and said, "How is this possible? Wu Tong has 50,000 people."

Li Bobo frowned deeply and said, "It's really unlikely. I have inferred several times, but in the end I gave up this inference."

"Yes, it seems unlikely." Meng Jiu said slowly, "But look, this kid pretended to talk to us. The cavalry walked twelve miles openly, and from here to now, four miles, sixteen miles. We are now southwest of Dezhou City. If we want to go back to the north camp to dispatch troops, he will definitely send troops to intercept him. He will go back and forth, and robbed Linqing for a whole day and a night."

"Ha." Tang Jie sneered: "Three thousand people, one day and one night, without siege equipment... I wanted to capture Linqing like this. I asked myself that I was crazy enough, but I didn't expect that he was even crazy than me."

"It's just a risk."

"Since that's the case, there's no need to talk about it." Tang Jie said, "Let's go, you want to fight? I'll fight him!"

Tang Jie was thinking about calling out something to the other side to destroy the other side's might, but Meng Jiu slowly said: "I guessed this kid's plan last night. Three thousand people are not too much."

"You guessed it?" Tang Jie said: "Then why don't you tell me? If..."

"Give him a chance to get Linqing." Meng Jiu said with a certain light in his eyes: "At the same time, he also gave me a chance to convince him to surrender, which is very fair."

He said, slowly standing up.

"This is a transaction, it is also a bet. How can I do without a bet? Wu Tong's 50,000 people are my bet. If I lose, I will give it to him, but if I win, with his ability... Oh, what is Wu Tong's comparison with him."

Li Bobo frowned and said, "But whether to surrender or not is only a matter of his thoughts, and he has a greater chance of winning."

"People always feel that they are controlled by themselves in a thought, but in fact... aren't people's hearts controlled by others?"

"It's okay." Tang Jie smiled and said, "Mr. Meng wants to bet with him. Even if he can conquer Linqing, he can't defend it with three thousand people. I'll take it back."

"good."

While speaking, Meng Jiu took two steps forward and let the wind blow his robe.

"Wang Xiao, since you are here today, there is no need to worry. You might as well talk about your personal friendship first. I am now 62 years old, can I afford to be your elder?"

"Mr. Meng can afford it." Wang Xiao replied, bowing politely across the canal.

Meng Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked at it a little relaxed.

With Tang Qianqian’s relationship, the other party really dared not take advantage of him.

This temporarily suppressed Wang Xiao's momentum.

The next moment, Wang laughed and said, "But public is public, private is private. It is not good to be confused between the two. It is better to do this. Wait until the two sides are in a standstill to negotiate peace in the future. I will prepare some gifts to visit Mr. Meng. Today, since I am still fighting each other, I might as well just talk about official affairs."

"It seems that you didn't really surrender, otherwise you would have to do anything about public or private?" Meng Jiu said: "Since that's the case, I might as well send troops to defend Linqing."

Wang Xiao stumbled slightly.

Today is indeed a bet, betting whether he can win Linqing with only three thousand people, and bet whether Meng Jiu can convince him to surrender.

For the time being, it seems that both sides are very difficult.

Meng Jiu is not unable to send people to defend Linqing now, but the reason why he did not exist is because he is confident. The longer the two sides talk, the more time Wang Xiao takes Linqing, and at the same time, the more time Meng Jiu can convince him.

"Haha, I'm of course sincere, but please don't use the power of my elders to suppress me. Otherwise, if I don't agree on what I should have done today, I will inevitably be unwilling to accept it under the rule of Ruichao in the future." Wang smiled and said, "Let's talk about the conditions first."

"Meng is old and shouting at each other through the river, so he has the will but lacks strength... Why not go to the river to talk?"

It was a small island formed at the intersection of the South Canal and the Zhang River. The island they chose was not as large as the courtyard of a wealthy family. It was about the same distance from the river banks on both sides and was slightly closer to the Chu army.

Wang Xiao thought about it and agreed.

"good."

Both sides agreed to bring a guard over each, and sent five soldiers to the island on a small boat to check it out first.

"Check slowly, don't hurry, hold back the time." Wang Xiao lowered his voice and ordered Chu Jun.

As a result, the five people on the Chu Bing side stumbled on the island for a long time, and waited until Rui Bings over there became impatient before they came back at the same time.

"Report to the Marquis, it's nothing unusual."

Wang Xiao nodded and took Geng to the boat.

The boat was shaking. When he looked up, he saw a woman walking out of the army opposite. She had a graceful figure and couldn't see her appearance clearly from afar, but her every move made him very familiar.

At this glance, Wang Xiao suddenly felt unsure.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was not without the possibility of being persuaded by Meng Jiu...

The boat slowly rowed across the water.

The boatman tied the boat to the edge of the island, and Wang Xiao stepped on his feet and suddenly hesitated.

...

"Marty."

"Mr.." Geng Dang called out several times and said, "Otherwise, don't go?"

Wang Xiao turned his head and said, "It's not okay if you don't go, you need to buy more time..."

"Then... was that Miss Tang just now?"

Wang Xiao was silent for a long time.

"have no idea."

Geng Dang held the knife and protected Wang Xiao, feeling extremely nervous.

He was wondering why he had to encounter such a dangerous thing when he was always guarding the Marquis himself?

Oh, but if the Marquis stayed in a safe place, why should he protect himself?

Anyway, the other party only had an old man and a woman, so it shouldn't matter?

The silly Geng Dang was very confused.

But he didn't know that Wang Xiao was also full of confusion.

The two walked through the woods, reached the center of the island, and stopped.

Meng Jiu was already standing there waiting, standing with his hands on his back. Although he was sick and old, his temperament seemed to be a master.

The woman who landed on the island with him did not approach and stopped in the woods behind him and only saw a corner of her clothes.

"Is she blaming herself?" Wang Xiao thought.

He slowly walked forward a few steps.

"That's Qianqian?" He had many other openings, but he still asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Meng Jiu sighed and said, "You still remember her, tell me, why don't you surrender?"

The tone seemed to be Wang Xiao's father.

If the fight really starts at this time, he, a weak old man, must not be the other party between Wang Xiao and Geng Dang, but he has no fear at all.

In short, it is time for both parties to have an open and honest conversation.

"Why?" Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that why. Maybe it's because of 'inertiality'. I opened my eyes and went to the Chu Dynasty. My relatives and friends were all here. I got along with Qianqian. Although I knew she was a member of the rebel army, most of the time, on the surface, she was just a Chu nationality in the capital. I don't know what she was like when she was in Ruichao as the "Seventh Prince". How about you Da Rui? It's just strange to me..."

His words were not entirely said to Meng Jiu. As he spoke, he looked up at the figure in the woods in the distance.

After returning from Liaodong, he was trapped in a situation of escape before the people even landed, and many things were not allowed to be thought of.

It’s not that he didn’t think about where to go between him and Tang Qianqian, but he didn’t have the time and opportunity to think about it…

Now, since she has come, he should give him an explanation.

The figure in the woods did not move.

Meng Jiu took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty promised you to count the conditions. What else do you have to say... I really don't see through you, but I think you are not a greedy person. If you want to protect anyone, you can also mention it. Except for Zhou Zhang and his son, anyone can do it."

The tone was sincere, so sincere that Wang Xiao was a little surprised.

At this time, if Wang Xiao stretched out his hand, he could even take Meng Jiu directly, but Meng Jiu continued to speak sincerely.

"Do you know why Your Majesty can propose such a condition? Even in my opinion, this condition is a bit too concise..."

He spread out the imperial edict in his hand, and there was no such thing as a dagger hidden inside.

Wang Xiao looked at him and could see the stamp of Emperor Darui on it.

"The reason for this is that I, Darui, really has no energy to continue fighting with you..."

"Hmm?" Wang Xiao was a little surprised.

The middle of the woods is quite quiet.

Meng Jiu's next sentence made Wang Xiao stunned for a moment.

...

"Jiannu is going to enter the pass."
