Chapter 294 Heroes Conference (10)
Before dawn the next day, Zhang Xuan was awakened by a fierce knock on the door. Before he could get up, Luo Shixin rushed in like a gust of wind, "Brother Zhang, You Junda is gone..."
"What does it mean?" Zhang Xuan asked pretended to be confused.
"He left a letter and said he would go back first!"
Luo Shixin looked at Zhang Xuan with serious eyes, "What happened last night?"
Zhang Xuan pinched his temples. He didn't sleep well last night. He thought about You Junda for the most part of the night, and his forehead couldn't help but feel ache. "He said he was going to see a friend. I didn't ask much if it was because he was eliminated, so he went back to Qi County first."
"It must not be like this!"
Luo Shixin bit his lip, squatted in front of Zhang Xuan and said, "Brother, tell me, what happened?"
Zhang Xuan looked at him for a while, but had no choice but to whisper to him: "I can tell you, but you swear you can't tell anyone!"
"I, Luo Shixin, swear to God, if I reveal a trace of my brother's secret, God will not allow me!"
"Go and close the door!"
Luo Shixin hurriedly closed the door and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Brother You?"
Zhang Xuan said slowly: "He can't accept Pei In-ki as the head coach and decided to surrender to Wagang."
"ah!"
Luo Shixin was shocked and said anxiously: "Why don't brother persuade him? How can he commit himself as a thief?"
Zhang Xuan said helplessly: "He is not a three-year-old child. This is a decision he has made carefully. How can I persuade him? Moreover, his wife and children have already gone to Wagang first, and their backs have been cut off. What's the use of persuading him?"
Luo Shixin was extremely frustrated, and he lowered his head and couldn't say a word.
"It's over, so don't think about it."
Zhang Xuan patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Prepare it! Don't think about anything today, we will do our best."
Zhang Xuan got up and put on his clothes and walked towards the well platform outside. At this time, Luo Shixin finally made up his mind. He caught up with Zhang Xuan and said, "Brother, I want to be your subordinate, you accept me!"
Zhang Xuan looked back at Luo Shixin, and saw that his eyes were very firm and serious, and it was definitely not an impulse, so he nodded, "Let's talk about it when you go back! I will consider transferring you to me."
......
Although You Junda's departure caused a moment of discussion, no one expected that You Junda had left the Flying Eagle Army. Zhang Xuan did not mention this matter at all, but only discussed with everyone the precautions for today's competition. Luo Shixin was surprisingly quiet and never said a word. Everyone thought he was nervous before the war came.
Qin Qiong was also very nervous. Although he had some doubts about You Junda's farewell without saying goodbye, heroes would be related to his personal future and destiny. He didn't care about You Junda for the time being, and his whole mind was on the upcoming competition.
The group of people came to the military camp and saw that the guards outside the camp were obviously stronger than yesterday. Teams of imperial guards stood guard outside the camp, and no idle people were allowed to approach the temporary stands in the east.
"Yuan Ding, it seems that the emperor is coming too!" Qin Qiong said to Zhang Xuan in a low voice.
Zhang Xuan nodded, and he also saw that the postures of so many imperial guards were clearly to protect the emperor's safety.
At this time, Luo Cheng rushed over and greeted everyone and said, "The latest news is that the emperor has adopted the compromise plan of Secretary Wei, and we will all be on the stage today. But the ten generals will not meet."
Sure enough, they all had to go on stage. Fortunately, they all made preparations in advance. Qin Qiong asked nervously: "Has the Lord arrived?"
"It hasn't arrived yet, but it's coming soon."
At this moment, Zhang Xuan unexpectedly saw Wu Yunzhao. He wore a big cloak to cover most of his face, but Zhang Xuan still recognized him at a glance.
Last night, news came out that many bandits who participated in the Heroes Club left Luoyang one after another. Why didn’t he leave? Does he want to accept the amnesty?
Zhang Xuan was also a little suspicious. Li Zitong's death might have allowed Wu Yunzhao to be freed, so he stayed to attend the Heroes' Meeting without leaving with Meng Haigong.
At this time, Qin Yong also saw Wu Yunzhao. He was impressed by Wu Yunzhao and recognized him at first sight. He was about to wave his hand and shout, but Zhang Xuan grabbed him, "Don't call him!"
Qin Yong put down his hand with a puzzled look. Wu Yunzhao in the distance also saw the flying eagle generals. He glanced deeply at Zhang Xuan and urged his horse to run into the military camp.
...........
Although today is the final battle on the last day, there are obviously fewer other warriors coming to watch the battle. Due to the news that the court was going to take the opportunity to arrest the bandits participating in the Heroes Association, a large number of warriors left Luoyang overnight.
Even some warriors who had already entered the top forty also gave up the competition, such as Shan Xiongxin of the Wagang Army, Wang Junkuo, Du Fuwei's strong general Zhang Ling, and Hebei bandits Song Jingang and Liu Heita.
Although it is a pity to give up the ranking competition, for the sake of their lives, they would rather give up their reputation.
In this way, only thirty-five people participated in the final competition, and the chances of winning were significantly increased.
But contrary to the large number of warriors withdrawing from the competition, enthusiastic Luoyang people flocked to it. By dawn, at least 70,000 Luoyang people flocked to the military camp, and the walls outside the military camp had to be temporarily demolished. Since the emperor will also attend today's decisive battle, in order to ensure the safety of the heroes, the army dispatched nearly 10,000 soldiers to maintain order.
In the temporary east stand, the emperor had not arrived yet, and several generals were bargaining around Wei Xuan, the Minister of War. The five unexpectedly withdrew from the competition, leading many people with a glimmer of hope. They all hoped that their subordinates could make up for these five places.
"Shangshu Wei, I fully support the hero meeting this time, and I don't want many places. I only need one place."
Yuwen Shu grabbed Shangshu Wei Xuan and forced him to agree to his request, "Master and disciple Shang can enter today's decisive battle. It was because he drew Li Xuanba that he was unfortunately eliminated. This is unfair to him. In short, you must agree."
Wei Xuan was forced to do nothing, so he had to instruct Zhou Wei, the assistant minister behind him, "Put it in hand!"
After agreeing to Yuwen Shu, the generals next to him stopped doing it and asked for a chance to give their beloved generals. In the end, Wei Xuan had to compromise. Yu Juluo's nephew Yu Shanqing, Qu Tutong's general Liu Hongji, Zhang Jin's general Changsun Shunde, and Chen Ling's younger brother Chen Yue also got the opportunity to enter the top forty, filling the vacancy for Shan Xiongxin and others to leave.
In the battle preparation shed, Zhang Xuan was carefully wiping his beloved weapon and waiting for the result of the lottery. At this time, an official ran over and clasped his fists at him and said, "General, the lottery results have come out. The general will fight against Master Shang."
Zhang Xuan was stunned, "Didn't Master Shang lose to Li Xuanba yesterday? How could he still participate in the competition?"
"Report to the general, because many people gave up the competition today, they added some places, and Master Shang and his disciples participated in the competition again."
Zhang Xuan nodded. It should be the departure of Shan Xiongxin and others that gave them the opportunity. However, Master Shang ranked third among the Thirteenth Taishang Insurance Company of Yuwen Shu, which also shows that he has certain real skills and should not be underestimated.
At this time, Luo Shixin rushed over and whispered to Zhang Xuan: "Brother Qin drew Yuwen Chengdu!"
Qin Qiong actually drew Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhang Xuan was shocked, which meant that Qin Qiong could not enter the top twenty. He hurriedly asked: "Who did Yuan Qing draw with you and Lao Wei?"
"Yuan Qing didn't know yet. The old lieutenant drew Li Guangsheng, who was a child of the Li family in Longxi. I drew Yu Shanqing. I heard that he was Yu Juluo's nephew. He had good sword skills. It is said that he was eliminated by Wang Junkuo yesterday afternoon, and Wang Junkuo's quota was added today and he went to the battle again."
Zhang Xuan breathed a little relieved. Except for Qin Qiong's bad luck, the others were all good and did not encounter strong enemies.
At this time, Wu Yunzhao walked over slowly and bowed to Zhang Xuan, "General Zhang, I have one thing I want to ask the general, isn't it convenient?"
"Brother Wu, please tell me!"
"I heard yesterday that Wu Shaoyou was caught by the general. I wonder if this matter is true or false?"
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I didn't catch Wu Shaoyou, but I'm an insider."
"I see!"
Wu Yunzhao asked again: "Is it really Yuanmin who poisoned Li Zitong? I heard that Yuanmin was sentenced to death because he poisoned Li Zitong."
"this"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and asked strangely: "Where did General Wu get this news?"
Wu Yunzhao was silent for a moment and said, "It was Mr. Wei who told me."
Zhang Xuan then realized that no wonder Wu Yunzhao was going to participate in the martial arts competition today. It turned out that he had talked with Wei Xuan yesterday. He must have accepted the amnesty. However, Zhang Xuan also heard that the reason why Li Zitong agreed to accept the amnesty was because Wu Yunzhao tried his best to persuade him. Wu Yunzhao was originally a Sui general, and he was not forced to commit himself as a bandit, so it was reasonable for him to accept the amnesty.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan said frankly: "Wu Shaoyou is from the Bohai Association, but the Bohai Association has reached the conditions with Yuan Min, so they attacked Li Zitong, saying that Yuan Min is the culprit."
"Sure enough, consistent with what I expected, this matter has nothing to do with the court. Someone was secretly attacking. At first, I thought it was Meng Haigong. It seemed that I had wronged him, but Li Zitong's death was just right."
Wu Yunzhao smiled and asked again: "Who will General Zhang play against?"
"I drew Master Shang, where is Brother Wu?"
"I originally drew Li Xuanba, but the ten generals could not play against each other, so I changed the draw and drew Liu Hongji. It seems that I am lucky. I wish General Zhang a victory first!"
