Chapter 135 What qualifications do you have to fight?
Vice General He asked the guarding soldiers in a deep voice: "Where are the two Xiliang spies just captured today being imprisoned?"
Liang Jiang suddenly jumped up excitedly, holding on to the railing and looking out: "Uncle He, I'm here!"
When Vice General He heard her voice, he couldn't help but be stunned. He took two steps and rubbed his eyes in disbelief under the dim light of the prison: "County, county..."
Liang Jiang hurriedly interrupted him: "Uncle He, are you afraid you don't recognize me? Our two families are still related. I saw you last time you returned to Fucheng."
Vice General He immediately realized that there were many Tong Shouliang's informants around him, and the princess must not have wanted to expose her identity.
He responded accordingly: "Oh, I remembered you. Why did you come to Xiliang Pass?"
As he talked and walked, he tilted his head and saw Qing Jun's figure in the shadow of the lamp behind Liang Jiang. He was so frightened that his knees almost weakened and he fell to his knees.
Gu Xizhi smiled at him and said, "Vice General He, you are well."
Vice General He had one head and two big fish. His men were really capable. They caught two big fish in one move.
He almost hurriedly ordered someone to open the cell door, invited the two of them into his room, and then closed the door tightly.
Only then did he dare to kneel on the ground and apologize: "I didn't know that the prince and princess were coming. I have offended many people. Please forgive me."
Liang Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to help him and told Gu Xizhi about his and Gu Xizhi's intention to go to Xiliang.
When Lieutenant General He heard this, he immediately retorted: "My lord, you also fought against Hu Yanchao on the battlefield in Xiliang. He must know you. This trip is dangerous, and your precious body must not go there in person."
If necessary, the general will be willing to go with the princess. "
"It doesn't matter," Gu Xizhi said calmly: "I just need to be cautious and not confront them head-on. You stay in Xiliang, and people will go to Xiliang to pick us up later. You need to help get some clearance tokens to hide them The identity is also very important.”
Vice General He persuaded them again and again, and when they saw that they had made up their minds, they no longer objected.
"The people sent by the general to Xiliang are now in Yecheng and can contact Shanyu Beixiong. If the prince and princess have no other choice, they can also try to join forces with the Shanyu family."
Gu Xizhi nodded: "We went to Yecheng to wait and see. By the way, Tong Shouliang sent a confidant to Xiliang to contact Hu Yanchao.
This man is not tall and thin, and has a black mole at the corner of his right eye. The most important thing is that he carries a myna with him.
He set off from Shangjing one day earlier than us, and we did not find this person's whereabouts along the way. Send someone to keep an eye on him secretly. Once discovered, he and the bird must be taken down. Lest he recognize the two of us. "
Vice General He agreed. He felt deeply that he had a heavy responsibility and did not dare to slack off. He handed over the Xiliang customs clearance token that he had prepared in advance to the two of them.
After a short rest, early the next morning, the two disguised themselves, sneaked into Xiliang, and went straight to Yecheng, the capital of Xiliang.
Arriving at Yecheng, he found an inconspicuous inn to stay in. He tried every means to contact Vice General He's spy in Xiliang and inquired about the current situation in the Xiliang court.
After some weighing, the two decided to follow what Vice General He said and join forces with Shan Yuye's father, Shan Yu Beixiong.
In the Battle of the Great Rift Valley, the 10,000 elite troops led by Shan Yuye were ambushed by Tong Shouliang and the entire army was wiped out.
In order to avenge his son one day, his father, Shanyu Beixiong, did not disband and return to his field, but still held important positions in the military camp.
After he investigated the truth about the battle in the Great Rift Valley, he was eager to lose his son and did not weigh the situation. He immediately filed a complaint against Huyan Dynasty before the King of Xiliang.
I originally thought that the King of Xiliang would judge impartially and avenge Shan Yuye.
But who would have thought that Hu Yanchao would dare to kill someone in front of the King of Xiliang and kill him with the sword. The King of Xiliang was afraid of the current power of the Huyan Dynasty, so he had to reject Shan Yu Beixiong's complaint. He also ordered Shan Yu Beixiong to be beaten with a rod on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to make a false accusation.
Shanyu Beixiong was disheartened by what the King of Xiliang did. Coupled with the onset of rheumatism, he temporarily stayed outside the city on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries.
So the two of them didn't have to go through too much trouble if they wanted to see him.
Liang Jiang pretended to be a doctor, using the pseudonym Wu Ming. Under the recommendation of Lieutenant General He, he met Shan Yu Beixiong and used acupuncture to help him stop his joint pain in time.
This gave him the opportunity to talk to Shan Yu Beixiong in private.
In order to show his sincerity in cooperation, Liang Jiang did not hide anything, and immediately confessed his identity to him directly, and then explained his purpose.
Gu Xizhi, on the other hand, still wore a beard and pretended to be Liang Jiang's personal bodyguard, using the pseudonym Wu Chen.
"According to logic, your son has a grudge against me for killing my father. But in order to kill Tong Shouliang and avenge my father, I can put aside my hatred and cooperate with you, General Shanyu."
Shan Yu Beixiong stared at Liang Jiang in front of him with disdain on his face: "I admire Princess Heya for having the courage to venture into Xiliang alone.
It's just that you can't bring down Tong Shouliang in Chang'an. In Xiliang, you are a woman with no power, what can you do? What qualifications do you have to fight against Hu Yanchao, who has a large number of troops? "
Liang Jiang shook his head honestly: "Indeed, in Xiliang, I may be like an eagle with its wings broken and a snake with seven inches, without any use.
But I am willing to imitate Su Qin and lobby the six countries, and work with General Shan Yu to accumulate small achievements, share the same hatred of the enemy, and work together to fight against the powerful. "
"Childish," Shan Yu Beixiong sneered contemptuously: "One look at you shows that you are not familiar with the world. He Hu Yanchao has worked so hard now that even our King of Xiliang wants to marry his favorite Princess Mu Min to him to win over people's hearts.
Even if he really committed any crime, even if he committed many murders, the king would never get rid of him. "
Gu Xi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "I heard that Hu Yanchao was very powerful, but his face was extremely ugly and ferocious. Women and children shunned him. Is the princess really willing to marry him?"
"Whether you like it or not, this is the king's will and cannot be disobeyed." Shan Yu Beixiong sneered: "Only young people like you would have such concerns."
Gu Xizhi smiled slightly: "No, if this princess is really as the general said, she is extremely favored by the king.
So, if he forced the princess to marry, it means that he had no choice but to do so. The existence of Huyan Dynasty has posed a threat to the king.
However, the king was wary, or in other words, Hu Yanchao did not touch his bottom line, so everything was fine. In order to check and balance, I have to wrong the general and give you a rod punishment to make Hu Yanchao feel at ease. "
Shan Yu Beixiong was silent for a moment, thinking carefully about what Gu Xizhi said, and felt that it was not unreasonable for this guard to have such keen insight into matters above the court and to figure out people's hearts.
Could it be that the king really has the intention of getting rid of Hu Yanchao? It's just that I was afraid and had to stabilize him temporarily.
In this case, there is still hope for revenge for his son! It’s just that the time has not come yet.
After thinking for a moment, he said categorically: "Princess Mu Min really does not want to marry him, Hu Yanchao, otherwise it would not have been delayed for two years."
Gu Xizhi and Liang Jiang looked at each other and made a tacit decision.
"I wonder if General Shanyu can help us meet Princess Mumin?"
