No matter how mean and suspicious the Tian brothers were about him, Xiang Zongyan still had a trace of fantasy in his heart and could only bear it. Until today's war, he witnessed Tian Hongbin's willfully act in his own way and ordered all five thousand hard-earned poison capsules to be used up. Xiang Zongyan, who has always been very cautious in dealing with people and things, could no longer contain the anger accumulated in his heart for a long time. Finally, he realized the reality and instantly changed his previous thoughts.
Seeing that the leader of his family frowned but did not say a word, the Xiang general couldn't help but be concerned. After hesitating for a moment, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Is there something wrong with the governor?"
"All the things are gone, are you really going to do it!"
This general named Xiang Ming inherited the advantages of the Xiang tribe. He has been very tall since childhood. Now he is over 20 years old, even much taller than the leader Xiang Zongyan. Seeing Xiang Zongyan lowering his head and sighing, he didn't care about it and quickly bent down, raised his head and said earnestly:
"The chief minister, although he is stupid, he still has to say a few words for our Xiang clan! The chief minister, you supported Tian Hongyou as the bird governor. Although the clan believed in you and dared not say much, he felt really uncomfortable! Wuxi doesn't know that the Tian clan and our Xiang clan have been enemies for generations!
Tian Hongyou is not a little worse than the Peng family’s great master! I don’t know what talent is not talented. Just this time, you gave out all the poisonous miasma methods left by your ancestors. This has made great contributions, but how did the two brothers of the Tian family treat you?
Since sending troops out of the city, we have been guarding against you everywhere, and have exhausted our hard-working poison capsules! Now we have left all our 3,000 tribesmen in Huixi Village to die! The enemy is not willing to fight the enemy with one heart, but instead takes such a vicious move. It is really hateful..."
After hearing the words, Xiang Zongyan felt more and more intense complaining. As if he was thinking, he shook his head gently, then patted Xiang Ming's broad shoulders and chuckled softly: "Aming, no wonder your name is Aming! You have made me admire these words today, and you really see clearly!"
Xiang Ming, a man who usually only knows how to take orders and charges in battle. He rarely hears the leader praise in person. He smiles embarrassedly, and then quickly returns to his cautious face: "But, this time you ordered to rescue General Tang, and you have tried your best to ask the old witch to treat him. What is your intention? Could it be that you want to exchange him with Li Yuan? But who is the name of General Tang? We don't know if Li Yuan doesn't recognize him, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Xiang Zongyan was quite calm, turned around and took a blood-stained flag, raised his eyebrows at Aming, and asked in a low voice: "Aming, do you know what the flag is written?"
Xiang Ming was a little confused, glanced at him and muttered, "Dutong, isn't this the flag behind General Tang at that time? You are in a dilemma, General Wang can't read at all!"
Xiang Zongyan nodded immediately, and then replied in a deep voice: "I forgot this one! Why don't you tell you, remember, the word "Luo" is embroidered on the flag!"
"This, so what?"
Xiang Zongyan said slowly: "Peng's family was rebelled before, no, Governor Peng suffered a great defeat in Jiashan. He led his army back to Linyuan City and was blocked by Li Yuan's army. Have you heard of it?"
Seeing Xiang Ming nodding without hesitation, Xiang Zongyan took a deep breath, his eyes said, "Well, all the tribes in Dongxi know this! I won't say how powerful Li Yuan is. After Governor Peng led his army back to Xizhou, I heard him say that when he met at Linyuan City, there was a general named Luo next to Li Yuan's side, who seemed to be Li Yuan's sworn brother..."
"Dutong, what do you mean? This person is—" Xiang Ming suddenly opened his eyes wide and showed an incredible expression: "Dutong, there are so many people in the Tang army, and there should be more than one of them in the surname Luo? Why are you sure that this person is Li Yuan's sworn brother?"
"Actually, I can't be sure. I just saw the flag with the word "Luo" written on it, so I quickly ordered...
But look, the flag is decorated with flying bears, and the Tang general is wearing tiger-headed armor. According to what I have heard before, he must be the pioneer general of the Tang army! Therefore, even if this person is not Li Yuan’s sworn brother, he is at least very powerful..."
