Chapter 401: Going to the meeting alone, midnight assassination(1/2)

In the Chonghouhu Army's camp, there was a bleak cloud of sorrow. You could vaguely hear the groans and cry of soldiers from some camps, and some patrol soldiers were also listless.

During the day, Chonghouhu's army was fighting with the Xiqi army, and nearly half of them were killed or injured. The rest were already scared by the Xiqi army. To be precise, they were scared by the elite cavalry commanded by Nangong Shi, and basically had no combat power. It can be said that Chonghouhu's defeat in this conquest of Xiqi was already 80%.

Walking slowly in the military camp, Chongheihu, wearing armor, couldn't help but frown slightly when he looked at the bleak scene in the camp.

Chong Heihu was ordered to suppress grain before, and then arrived here in the evening. At that time, Chong Houhu was already defeated by the Xiqi army.

Speaking of which, there is no one under Beibo Hou's command who can compare with Chong Heihu. In theory, he should be allowed to follow the army instead of suppressing grain. However, Chong Houhu is cruel and arrogant, and has always been afraid and jealous of his younger brother Chong Heihu's ability. It seems that he trusts Chong Heihu very much, but to put it bluntly, he still doesn't want Chong Heihu to fight to steal his limelight.

Chonghehu is not a rash man who can learn skills under Due Zhenren. On the contrary, he is very smart! He naturally knows these methods of Chonghouhu. In addition, the two brothers learned Taoism in their early years because they admired the Heihu and later Chonghehu became Caozhou Hou. They did not have much contact. Therefore, although they were brothers, their relationship was also very ordinary.

Speaking of which, Chong Heihu, who was young and vigorous and failed to learn Taoism, also had some intentions of competing with Chong Houhu for the title of Marquis of Beibo. Although he was relieved later, the conflicts and grudges between them could not be resolved. In addition, Chong Houhu was cruel and unkind, although Chong Heihu turned a blind eye to this because of his brotherhood, he was also a little dissatisfied with Chong Houhu.

Before he knew it, Chong Heihu, who was close to the handsome tent, looked up at the handsome tent with the lights, frowned and hesitated slightly, and turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a man who seemed to be a general was pulled out by a soldier who was like a wolf or a tiger, and still shouted sadly: "Marty, please spare me! Marty, please spare me!"

Chong Heihu, whose footsteps were slightly paused, looked at this scene and frowned and ran over and shouted, "Stop!"

"Master Caozhou. Save me!" The general immediately spoke in a hurry when he saw Chong Heihu.

Chong Heihu, who was sighing and nodding, ordered the soldiers to wait for the time being, hurriedly heading towards the commander's tent.

When Chong Heihu entered the tent, he saw the generals in the tent with their heads lowered and the Chonghouhu who was still angry and still had his anger in the tent.

"Brother!" Chong Heihu, who stepped forward to salute, couldn't help but speak respectfully.

When Chonghouhu saw Chong Heihu and his eyes narrowed, he said calmly: "Heihu, what's the matter?"

"Brother, what mistake did General Lin make? Brother wants to kill him?" Chong Heihu immediately frowned and asked.

Listening to Chong Heihu's words, Chong Houhu, whose face turned dark, said coldly: "Heihu, he is a general under his brother. He is not good at fighting and is afraid of the enemy. Can't Wei brother deal with him?"

"Brother, we didn't expect that Xiqi would have such elite and weird cavalry! This is not the fault of war, nor is it the fault of General Lin. Isn't your brother afraid of letting the soldiers feel heartbroken by killing the generals like this?" Chong Heihu couldn't help but shook his head and said.

Chonghouhu, who slapped the table with a slap, stared at Chongheihu coldly and said, "Chengheihu, what am I doing? It's not your turn to teach you a lesson! It sounds so nice! Do you want to win people's hearts?"

"Brother, I'm really so unbearable in your eyes?" Chong Heihu, who smiled bitterly, couldn't help but look at Chong Houhu's silence and then slowly spoke softly.

"Hmph!" Chong Houhu, who snorted coldly, said disdainfully: "You know the best you think in your heart!"

Chong Heihu, who nodded slightly, then knelt down on one knee to Chonghouhu and said calmly: "Brother, I don't want to say anything more. Please spare General Lin's life!"

"Haha!" Chong Houhu, who smiled lowly, couldn't help but say, "Okay! I will help you with my brother! If you kneel here for a night, I will promise you to spare General Lin's life!"

"Okay!" Chong Heihu, who lowered his head, couldn't help but close his eyes slightly when he heard this.

Seeing this, Chong Houhu, with a cold look, turned to the generals in the tent and shouted: "What are you still standing here to watch? Do you want to kneel with him? Go back!"

"Yes, Marquis!" The generals who responded quickly left the military tent one by one.

Seeing the generals leaving, Chonghouhu turned to Chongheihu, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes for a moment of silence. After a long time, he said indifferently: "Heihu, you must hate me in your heart, right? My father intended to pass the position of Beibohou to you. Unfortunately, when my father died, you were commanding troops outside and lost the opportunity to become Beibohou. I know, you have always been very unwilling to give up, right?"

"That's all decades ago. What did your brother mention it?" Chong Heihu couldn't help but said in a quiet voice.

Chong Houhu smiled lowly and said, "Has it been gone? Can you forget it?"

"I can forget!" Chong Heihu replied indifferently.

Listening to Chong Heihu's words, Chong Houhu smiled without saying anything, his eyes flashed and said, "Heihu, I intend to let you fight tomorrow. Are you sure to win?"

"Do you want to fight with brother?" Chong Heihu asked back.

He looked at Chong Heihu with his eyes narrowed, and Chong Houhu couldn't help but say, "What? You don't want to fight? This is the king's destiny!"

"Ji Changxian Hou, it's unjust to fight!" Chong Heihu couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

"Xianhou?" Chonghouhu, who asked back, couldn't help but sneer, "Xianhou can eat his own flesh? A tiger does not eat his son, he is even more poisonous than a tiger!"

Chong Heihu, who was silent for a moment, then looked up at Chong Houhu and said calmly: "Tomorrow, I will go to fight!"

"Okay! Haha..." Chong Houhu, who narrowed his eyes and looked at Chong Heihu, couldn't help but smile.

...

The next day, Chong Heihu led his army to the Xiqi army camp to call for war, which attracted Bukit to come and fight.

Wuji's martial arts skills are good, not inferior to Yu Chong Heihu. The two fought for a total of 100 or 200 rounds without distinguishing between them. Later, Chong Heihu revealed a flaw. He pretended to be injured and wanted to escape. Wuji didn't know why, so he rode his horse to chase him, but was captured by Chong Heihu secretly released the iron-mouthed eagle.

Let’s talk about Chong Heihu pressing Wuji, who looked dissatisfied, returned to the military camp of the Beibohou Hou’s army. As soon as he arrived at the General’s tent, he saw the generals who were all gathered together with anxious expressions before.

"What happened?" Chong Heihu, who was hurrying forward, couldn't help but frowned slightly, and shouted with a bad premonition in his heart.

When he saw Chongheihu, one of the generals hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Caozhou, something is not good, and the Marquis is gone! However, there is an invitation left in the tent of the commander, which was given to Caozhou Hou by the Marquis of Xibo."

"What?" Chong Heihu, who was shocked, immediately reached out to take the invitation handed over by the general while he spoke.

When Chong Heihu opened the invitation, his face changed. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and took a breath and said, "There are indeed powerful people in the Xiqi army!"

"Caozhou Hou, what should we do now?" The general who had handed the invitation before couldn't help but hurriedly said.

Chong Heihu, who closed the invitation, couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said, "What else can I do? I can only go to Xiqi Camp for one time!"

Listening to Chong Heihu's words, the generals who looked at each other were a little confused for a moment.

Not far away, Wu Ji, who was listening with his ears, couldn't help but smile loudly, "Haha, what a Caozhou Hou. He is indeed brave! However, he is the enemy of Xiqi. You are still careful. The next time he suddenly disappears, it's probably your head!"

"The defeated generals dare to be arrogant!" Listening to Wu Ji's words, his face changed slightly, and one of the generals shouted with a hint of shame.

Wu Ji, who shook his head and disdained, said: "I am the defeated general of Caozhou Hou, but not your defeated general! I will fight me in the future yesterday, otherwise I, Wu Ji, would have already knocked you down!"

"You..." The general was even more embarrassed and upset when he heard this.

Chong Heihu, who reached out to stop the general, turned to look at Buji and said calmly: "Press him down!"

"Yes!" Under the escort of the soldier, Bukit, who smiled loudly, turned around and left.

...

In the Xiqi camp, Ji Chang was sitting in the main seat, with Jiang Shang, who was slightly frowning and looked a little ugly, sitting on one side, and the generals were on both sides of the display, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

"Mr. Marquis, let me lead my troops to the battle! Maybe you can capture one or two enemy generals and exchange them for Wu Ji!" Nangong Shi couldn't help but say.

Before Ji Chang could speak, Jiang Shang shook his head slightly and said, "General Nangong, don't be impatient! Wu Ji's life is not hindered!"

"Doctor Jiang is right, Wu Ji will never be in trouble!" With a pleasant and light smile, Chen Xi, wearing a white casual clothes, walked in with a smile on his lips, and Baihu Xiaobai was following behind him. What was surprising was that Xiaobai seemed to be carrying a person in black clothes on his back.

Seeing Xiaobai subconsciously making a little move away, he turned to the person who slid down on Xiaobai's back, which had slightly shaken, and he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Chonghouhu?" Ji Chang stood up in shock.

On the side, Jiang Shang, who also looked surprised, looked at Chen Xi with a slight twitching corner of his mouth. This little aunt is indeed straightforward and neat!

Ji Chang, who had reacted slightly, couldn't help but look at Chen Xi with a slight twitching corner of his mouth and said, "Xi'er, are you going to catch Chonghouhu in person?"

"Father, why do I need to come to catch a mere Chonghouhu?" Chen Xi shook his head and smiled, then reached out and touched Xiaobai's head beside him and said, "It was Xiaobai who went to capture Chonghouhu! Moreover, I asked Xiaobai to leave an invitation for Chongheihu, and he should be here soon."

After looking at Xiaobai, who was slightly proud of Chen Xi, raised his head slightly, then Ji Chang sat down slightly and shook his head and smiled: "Okay! Come on, press Chonghouhu down and lock it up! Take strict guards!"

"Yes!" Two soldiers immediately walked in outside the tent and walked forward to carry Chong Houhu out.

When Chong Houhu was taken away, the generals looked at Chen Xi and Xiaobai, and then looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, without any previous worries, worries and anxiety.

...

In the evening, when everyone in Xiqi was waiting a little anxious and nervous, Chong Heihu brought several accompanying guards and Bukit to the Xiqi army.

In front of the Xiqi Central Army's tent, Ji Chang, Jiang Shang, Chen Xi and the generals welcomed the arrival of Chongheihu.

Seeing Chong Heihu coming with Bukit, everyone couldn't help but admire this guy's courage.

"Haha, Brother Heihu! I haven't seen you for many years, so you have always been good?" Ji Chang looked very familiar and polite and smiled. He had no concern at all that he might be held hostage by Chong Heihu when he was too close to Chong Heihu. He couldn't help but smile and be polite to him.

Then, the group entered the Central Army's tent together, and sat down according to the host and the guest.

"Mr. I guess he knows why Heihu came here this time, right?" Chong Heihu bowed to Ji Chang first.

He looked at Ji Chang who was smiling and nodded, "Brother Black Tiger! I, Ji Chang, are not far from starting the battle easily. However, the Beibo Hou insisted on his own! So, I had to invite him to come and sit down, let's have a good chat."

"Mr. Marquis, I'm helpless! This attack on Xiqi is the king's order!" Chong Heihu, who shook his head helplessly, couldn't help but say, "If Marquis is willing to spare my brother's life, I'm willing to go all my brother in person and ask him to agree to withdraw his troops. The two families will rebuild the old together. What do you think?"

Ji Chang, who was stroking his beards, smiled and said, "Brother Black Tiger. To be honest, I have no intention of harming the life of Beibo Marquis. Well, I will promise you! If Beibo Marquis is really willing to withdraw his troops and save the people of both sides from the war, then I will no longer care about the previous holidays!"

"Thank you, Marquis!" Chong Heihu immediately said seriously: "There are many Marquis, and Heihu admires you!"

While speaking, Ji Chang ordered Nangong Shi to take Chongheihu to meet Chonghouhu. Chongheihu also reciprocates and released Wu Ji on the spot.

After Nangong Shi led Chong Heihu away, Chen Xi couldn't help but look at Ji Chang with beautiful eyes flashing slightly and said, "Father, are you really going to let it go?"

"If we can really avoid this war, I will naturally do our best!" Ji Chang couldn't help but take a breath and said.

Listening to Ji Chang's slightly meaningful words, Chen Xi nodded slightly, and a hint of sudden enlightenment appeared on his beautiful eyes.

After a while, with the sound of footsteps, Chonghouhu, Chongheihu and Nangong came back together.

"Haha, Brother Hou Hu, it seems that he has agreed to withdraw his troops!" Ji Chang, who had a smile, couldn't help but step forward and said.

Seeing Ji Chang's mouth twitching slightly, Chong Houhu showed a slightly embarrassed smile on his face and bowed and said, "Brother Ji Chang! This time it's my younger brother's name, it's just that the king's order is hard to disobey. Please don't blame me!"

"Hey! It's okay! Since it's time to speak, there's no problem!" Ji Chang, who was speaking, smiled and politely asked the brothers Chong Houhu and Chong Heihu to sit down, and then ordered the preparation of a grand dinner.

A dinner was very lively and everyone seemed to be quite harmonious.

After the dinner, Ji Chang personally instructed him to arrange the military tent where Chonghouhu and Chongheihu live not far from the side of the commander's tent.
