When Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji received the report from Lanzhou, it was already Dingyou (the seventh day of the lunar month) in November.

The two learned that it was Ren Duo Baozhong from Ren's family who had brought people to surrender.

I was immediately overjoyed!

Renjia... This is the fierce enemy that the late emperor had been thinking about for a long time!

Now that you are here, isn’t this a gift from heaven?

So, he immediately took people from Xizhou to Lanzhou.

Stimulated by the merits, Gao Gongji returned to Xiang Zong and became so ruthless that he braved the wind and snow to travel eighty miles a day.

On November 11th, Xinchou Day, we arrived at Lanzhou City.

Upon entering the city, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji immediately reviewed the interrogation records of Renduo Baozhong and others in Lanzhou City.

It was confirmed that he was indeed Rendo Lingding's nephew and heir, the current head of the Rendo family, Rendo Baozhong.

At the same time, from the interrogation texts, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji also learned about the shocking changes that occurred in the West Thieves Kingdom.

Understand why Bingchang and the Queen Mother died within three days of each other.

This Dangxiang person was really called Xiang Zonghui because his mother was kind and his son was filial. Gao Gongji opened his eyes.

After reading these files, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji came to Lanzhou Prison in person.

The two brothers have been staying here on Xihe Road for several months.

I've almost figured out the situation here.

Overall, this place is really poor and really cold.

But the benefits are also here.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one cares about how you want to play.

But the most enjoyable way to play here is to support a puppet with noble blood.

Wang Shao supported brothers Zhao Sizhong and Zhao Zhongchun, while Li Xian supported brothers Bao Shun and Bao Yue.

They were still worried about who they should support?

Nendo Baozhong was delivered to your door.

…

Nendo Baozhong was sitting in a cell of the prison - not really a cell, except that the door was still locked. The place where he lived far exceeded what he enjoyed in the mansion of Xingqing Mansion.

Expensive brocades, woven quilts, expensive tea sets, and even lamb wine that is rarely available in Xingqing Mansion.

In addition, the incense in the cell was something he had only smelled in Bingchang's palace.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being a heavenly country...a land of articles and etiquette!" Renduo Baozhong enjoyed all this and couldn't help but praise in his heart.

That's how people are.

As long as you change your butt, what you see and what you feel will be completely different.

The former loyal ministers of the Great White Kingdom, after abandoning their loyalty to the Great White Kingdom, filled with anger and hatred, turned to the Southern Barbarians who were an eyesore in the past.

Those shortcomings and criticisms in the past have now become reasons for him to convince himself.

Nendohozada was thinking about these things.

A sound of footsteps came from the prison corridor, and then he saw two unfamiliar Song ministers in their thirties, wearing purple robes, fox furs, and crowns and hats, walking up to him.

Obviously, these two people must be the top nobles of the Song Dynasty.

When Renduo Baozhong saw these two people, he remembered the legends he had heard these days, and immediately knelt down with a plop: "The guilty general Renduo Baozhong, pays homage to the noble man of the Song Dynasty!"

When Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji saw Ren Duo Baozhong's appearance, they immediately asked them to open the cell door.

"General, please get up!" Xiang Zonghui stepped forward in person and helped up the enemy general who was at least twice his weight: "General, if you can understand the righteousness deeply, wake up and resolutely return to the light... I will definitely report it to the emperor.

General, please take credit!"

Gao Gongji also said: "I am as open-minded as the emperor, and I am open to all rivers. If I know that the general is coming to court, I will definitely be very happy and receive generous rewards!"

Even if the officials don't reward him, the two of them will try their best to persuade the officials to reward him generously.

As for the just-signed Song-Xia Peace Treaty, which stipulates that both parties will repatriate each other's fugitive officials and civilians?

They don't know.

Right!

Besides, Westerners know the great righteousness, wake up to it, and travel thousands of miles to come back.

If the Song Dynasty repatriated him, wouldn't it be tantamount to announcing that he had completely given up on recovering Xingling?

Who dares to take this responsibility?!

Who can bear this responsibility?

If anyone dares to make such slanderous remarks in front of the two palaces, he must be a traitor to the country, and he must be a traitor who wants to make the two palaces responsible for Qingshi's crimes!

Then, he Xiang Zonghui (Gao Gongji) would never sit idly by and ignore it.

Be sure to speak out and give your advice!

Fight thoroughly against those treacherous villains!

Renduo Baozhong was indeed able to supervise the army and supervise the army in Xixia, and at the same time controlled the entire Renduo tribe.

Hearing the words of Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji, he cried as much as he could, and immediately burst into tears. Then he kowtowed: "The noble man in the previous court treated the guilty general with such courtesy... It really makes the guilty general feel ashamed and regretful!"

"From now on, if the Song Dynasty has any mission, I, Baozhong, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

When Xiang Zong returned, Gao Gongji hurriedly helped him up again: "General, your words are serious... I am courteous to all parties and tolerant of the world... I, the emperor, will not treat people like the general who are lost and know how to return!"

Ren Duo Baozhong had naturally heard the stories of brothers Mu Zheng and Yu Longke, and knew what to say at this time.

So, he immediately cried bitterly: "I was originally a barbarian from Xingling, and I committed many crimes, but I was inspired by righteousness and determined to die to join the Song Dynasty... Fortunately, I did not give up and were treated favorably by the two nobles.

Baozhong bursts into tears with gratitude!"

Ren Duo Baozhong knelt down again and said: "I have decided to make a clean break with the past! Therefore, I am determined to give up the surname Ren Duo, and I beg you two nobles to give me a new surname!"

Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji looked at each other with a smile, and then Xiang Zonghui helped Renduo Baozhong up again and said: "General, you have over-applauded... Over-applauded... Gongji and I are just ministers of the emperor... General

If you ask for a Han surname, then when you become the emperor, ask for a surname!"

Giving surnames and names to the Yi and Di nobles from all over the world who came to surrender was the favorite program of the Zhao officials.

none of them!

He replied to Zong, how could Gao Gongji dare to overstep his authority?

So Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji ordered people to release all the people in Renjia's family.

Then he planned to take these people with him immediately and return to Xizhou first.

This is to prevent long nights and frequent dreams, and also to avoid the one in ten thousand possibility of fraud.

At the same time, the two men immediately wrote a letter each, recording in detail the details of Renjia's surrender and the coup in Xixia, and then ordered people to immediately deliver it to Bianjing by horse.

After finishing these things, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji embarked on the road back to Xizhou, escorted by the three hundred light cavalry they brought and the two thousand light cavalry sent by Li Hao.

Of course, the cavalry sent by Li Hao would only escort them to the Taoshui River Basin and then turn back.

When they arrived at Taoshui, they were assisted by Xizhou's cavalry and tribesmen.

As a meritorious minister, Xiang Zongji naturally brought his blessed general Wang Daxu and followed Xiang Zong back and Gao Gongji to Xizhou.
Chapter completed!
