Chapter 62: The Nickname of the Jianghu Is Sai Qiqi

Zhang Fu asked Wei Yuan to escort Yeli Wangrong's body and reach a deal with Yeli Yuqi.

In fact, there was another selfish motive.

If the plan to sow discord succeeded, Wei Yuan would have made a contribution.

For Wei Yuan, this trip was not only likely to make a contribution, but also an opportunity to win over the Cao Gang.

Although the Cao Gang was a gang, it could be destroyed in a snap of a finger by the bigwigs in the court.

However, small people also have their own uses. If used well, they can defeat thousands of troops.

Three days later.

Wei Yuan and three thousand cavalrymen went out of the pass, escorting a coffin to the place agreed by both parties.

During this period, the scouts did not find any unusual movements in the Liao Kingdom or Xixia's military camps.

When they arrived at the agreed location.

Wei Yuan suddenly saw Yeli Yuqi with a white cloth tied on his arm.

Behind the latter, there were also thousands of cavalrymen.

"I didn't expect that you would escort my brother's body out of Yanmen. You are so brave! Aren't you afraid that this general will chop you off?!"

Yeli Yuqi looked at Wei Yuan with hatred in his eyes.

Wei Yuan held Guandao in his hand and laughed: "Do you think that the knife in my hand is not good?"

For a while, the atmosphere between the two sides was tense.

If you are not careful, it will lead to a war.

Yeli Yuqi took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Bring people up!"

Then, more than a hundred merchants were tied up with iron chains, and each of them was miserable and scarred.

Wei Yuan frowned, "You can't beat our army on the battlefield, so you bully civilians. You Xixia army are really good!"

Yeli Yuqi said: "Bring the coffin over, and keep your head well, and wait for me to take it!"

Wei Yuan didn't want to argue with him again, and gave a look to a soldier beside him.

Then, the two sides began to trade.

Hundreds of people walked slowly to the Great Zhou soldiers.

As for the coffin, it was naturally handed over to the Xixia army.

Yeli Yuqi stroked the coffin and looked at Wei Yuan with gritted teeth,

"Sooner or later, I will kill you to avenge my brother!"

"The whole army retreats!"

As soon as the voice fell, Wei Yuan spoke quickly,

"Wait a minute!"

Yeli Yuqi's eyes turned cold and he immediately showed his weapon.

The Xixia cavalry behind him were also ready for battle.

It seemed that a melee was about to come.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "What? General Yeli is so afraid that I will charge over?"

Yeli Yuqi frowned deeply and said, "What do you want to say?"

Wei Yuan said, "This is not the place to talk. If you want to know the cause of your brother's death, follow me!"

Then, he rode alone to an open area not far away.

Yeli Yuqi looked around and ordered:

"All troops, stand by. If you see that this general is in trouble, retreat to the camp immediately, without any mistakes!"

Then, he chased Wei Yuan.

The two men got off their horses one after another.

Wei Yuan spoke first: "General Yeli, I wonder what you learned from Li Yuanhao about the cause of your brother's death?"

No one can hear the conversation here.

That is to say, even if they quarreled, no third person would know.

If this matter was heard by the suspicious Li Yuanhao, this strategy of alienation would be half successful.

"How dare you call my master by his name!"

Yeli Yuqi held the weapon tightly in his hand,

"My brother was killed by you, wasn't he? You brought me here to humiliate me and my brother, or do you have other plans?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "General Yeli, you and I are both smart people. If you really believe that I killed your brother, you would have fought with me long ago. Why would you listen to me so much?"

"But you didn't do it, because from the moment I said that you wanted to know the real cause of your brother's death, you had doubts in your heart."

Yeli Yuqi obviously didn't have too much Be patient, "Stop talking nonsense." Wei Yuan simply said, "Your brother died of poison. Only your Xixia has that kind of poison." "I heard that the Xixia palace was shocked and Yang Shousu was killed by Li Yuanhao. Your sister-in-law got a letter from your brother from Yanmen and insisted that your brother was killed by me." "But do you think I'm stupid? Would I kill a world-famous envoy in Yanmen Pass? Or do you think that my Yanmen Pass is vulnerable and anyone can go out to send a letter?" Having said that, Wei Yuan turned over and got on his horse, about to leave. Yeli Yuqi instantly thought of a lot of things. He frowned secretly and looked at Wei Yuan, "Are you telling me all this to alienate the friendship between me and my master?" The latter laughed and said, "You are right, it is indeed alienation, but what I said is also the truth. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Afterwards, Wei Yuan and three thousand cavalry escorted hundreds of merchants back to the pass. Yeli Yuqi looked at their departing backs and murmured:

"If Yang Shousu really intended to rebel and surrender to the enemy, how could he let my brother send the family letter?"

--

On the way back to Yanmen Pass.

A handsome man with a curly beard suddenly bowed to Wei Yuan, who was sitting on horseback, and said:

"May I ask if you are General Wei Yuan, the Saiqi?"

Just now, he heard the Xixia commander say that it was Wei Yuan who killed Yeli Wangrong.

So, he guessed Wei Yuan's identity.

Hearing the voice.

Wei Yuan frowned slightly.

It's true that he is called Wei Yuan, but what is Saiqi?

"It's true that I am Wei Yuan, but what does this Saiqi mean?"

Wei Yuan asked.

The man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he bowed respectfully again:

"It is indeed General Wei. It is truly a blessing to meet General Wei today."

"Sai Huqi is the name given to you by our people in the world of martial arts in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing both held this position.

Wei Yuan was similar in age to Huo Qubing, but his surname was Wei.

Regardless of whether he is called a champion or a title like Wei Qing, it doesn't seem to be good.

Therefore, there was a title of racing hussar.

Meaning, Wei Yuan is comparable to Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "This general has never been in the Jianghu, but I didn't expect to have the title of Jianghu."

The big man smiled and said: "It's just because people in the world admire you very much after hearing about your deeds of guarding Yanmen."

Wei Yuan asked: "Who are you?"

The big man cupped his hands and said: "Shi Jian from Caobang has met General Wei. I would like to thank General Wei for saving his life today. If you need help from Caobang in the future, please ask General Wei to send you."

Caobang Shi Jian?

Surnamed Shi?

Did you know that the people in charge of the Cao Gang are named Shi?

It takes no effort at all.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's easy to say that your Cao Gang has repeatedly supported our surrounding armies to resist the Xia and Liao Kingdoms. You can be called a benevolent and righteous man."

Shi Jian said: "General Wei's words are serious."

After returning to Yanmen Pass.

Wei Yuan first handed over the errand to Zhang Fu, and then heard that there was a letter from Bianjing.

He looked at the envelope and found that it was written by Minglan.

He laughed out loud inadvertently and murmured:

"This girl also knows how to write letters to my uncle."

After reading all the contents in the envelope, he had a clearer understanding of the promotion or changes of the current plot.

"Minglan and Guifen have a better relationship, which saves me a lot of worry."

"I don't know how long this battle will last."

"I really want to go to Bianjing as soon as possible."

After thinking about this, Wei Yuan began to reply.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to his wife.

In addition to expressing gratitude for the gifts given to Wei Shuyi and his wife, the letter included.

He also specifically requested Mrs. Zhang to send someone to take care of the house that the emperor rewarded her with.

He planned to create a separate courtyard in his house for his two sisters to live in.

"A few days ago, my second sister wrote that she is pregnant."

"Now that the New Year is approaching, I have to show something."

Make arrangements for household chores.

A guard came to report.

"General, there is someone outside the camp who claims to be the leader of the Cao Gang asking to see him."

Leader of the Cao Gang?

Shi Jian?

Is he the leader of the Cao Gang?
