Chapter 5177

"slow!"

Underneath, Tian Lu was anxious and jumped off his horse.

Although he is the acting commander-in-chief, it does not mean that he will really be the acting commander-in-chief when the war is over. In their place, everything is based on seniority and ability.

Therefore, if the elder, the backer, falls, or falls under his own control, he may not have a good chance of promotion even if he has made great achievements.

At the very least, the Lord may commend him for his merits and assign him a certain position, but what does this mean?

Most of the people in charge are elders.

And might the elders reuse themselves?

Most likely not.

Your master died while you were in charge. No matter what reason you have, in the eyes of others, you may have neglected your duty, or you may even have deliberately killed the elder to gain the upper hand.

The worst thing, if I don't slander you, is to label you as a poor protector.

I would like to ask, how much importance will such a person, and a person brought up by other elders, be used by you?

Of course, there are also feelings.

Can Tianlu temporarily assume the position of agent among a group of cronies? Is Tianlu really relying solely on his own strength?

Obviously not. Everyone's strength is actually about the same. His ability to sit in this position depends more on his relationship with the elders than others.

So, then again, isn’t this still a relationship? !

He didn't want to kill the elder alive, he just wanted to show his different methods and abilities in the mediation with Han Sanqian. At least after welcoming the elder back, his ability would be improved in front of the elder. It's different, and the status is naturally much higher than others.

But who can imagine that if you can't steal a coat, you can't steal a chicken, but you have lost a handful of rice.

Han Sanqian didn't accept this trick at all, and the situation became a bit stiff.

"Han Sanqian, if we have offended you with what we said just now, please forgive me. We are also eager to welcome the elder back, so we made a reckless mistake."

Han Sanqian stopped the knife slightly, and the knife was just a hair away from the elder's neck. Even the elder who was as steady as an old dog was frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

"These are just human words. However, speaking out is not the same as throwing water away. It is not impossible for me to continue to fulfill my promise. However, I have an additional request."

"any request!"

"After putting this old thing back, continue the truce for an hour. If you can do it, I will still keep my promise. This hour is just for me to punish you for your rude words. Do you understand?"

"Is it that simple?" Tianlu asked.

This request is actually not too much. After all... we have waited for twelve hours, who cares about waiting for one more hour?

"Do you think I, Han Sanqian, seem to be someone who doesn't keep my word?" Han Sanqian said disdainfully.

Tianlu thought about it for a moment and thought: "Okay, I can agree to your conditions."

Han Sanqian raised his hand gently and threw the knife back into the soldier's hand.

"In that case, Scar, let him go."

Scar took the order, walked up to the elder in a few steps, and let go of the rope on his body.

Later, under the escort of Scar and others, the elder was taken to the bottom of the city tower and handed over to the other party.

After welcoming back the elders, all the commanders finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The elder himself couldn't help but feel a little scared. Although there were no dangers along the way, he still went to hell and walked away. This time he didn't die, which was indeed an unexpected joy.

"Elder, shall we retreat?"

After Tianlu welcomed the elder back, he sent someone to take the elder to the sedan that had been prepared long ago, and asked the elder for his opinion.

The elder frowned and thought carefully for a moment: "What do you think?"

"My subordinates believe that the troops can be withdrawn appropriately. It's only for an hour anyway. They can't do much with this time."

The elder nodded. At twelve hours, Han Sanqian had already prepared for war.

On the other hand, their main purpose of coming here this time was to greet the elders. Although there was no problem with their military strength, they could launch an attack on Han Sanqian at any time.

But after all, the preparations are still not enough, and a hasty fight may not be very good. It is better to give them a face.

"Okay, let's go back to the camp first."

With the elder's wave, the army slowly retreated towards the original camp.

Han Sanqian also knew that his real opportunity had come...
