Chapter 177 Tuoba often hides, jade flute identifies old people
Laojun Bridge is located in the southeast of Hangzhou City, a remote village that has been abandoned. According to legend, Laozi Li Er once visited here and talked about the aisle on a small stone bridge next to the village, so the villagers called it this. After Fang La raised his army, many villages and towns were wrapped in Manichi, and the whole village was often abandoned. This is one of them.
It was midnight, Zu Hui and Lou Xin secretly arrived at the agreed place, and as before, they used to express their secret words, indicating that no one followed him before they came to see each other. The two of them reached the high position of prime minister, but they met so cautiously, and were forced to do it.
When Fang La was uprising, he was surrounded by his family members and believers from all over the country. However, they were either warriors or pawns who obeyed orders. If Fang La wanted to establish a regime, he had to recruit learned scholars. Zu, Lou, had just entered the official position, and although his status was humble, he had a good ambition to help the world and the people. Under his own rule, not only did his political achievements be good, but they were also unanimously praised by the villagers. Therefore, even though Fang La slaughtered officials of the Song court on a large scale, he was reluctant to kill them.
Lou Xin and Zu Hui were naturally unwilling to follow the thief. In a rage, Fang La killed thirty or fifty relevant officials who were captured, saying that if he refused, he would kill all the people under the rule of the two. In desperation, they had to agree to Fang La's difficult kindness. However, Fang La gave him a high official and generous salary in the dark, and the secret surveillance was never relaxed.
"Brother Zu, even if you don't look for me, I've long wanted to have a good chat with you." After meeting two Confucian scholars wearing gray cloaks, they sat on the steps of the small stone bridge and began a long-lost greeting.
Then Zu Hui's expression became serious: "Fang La did not leave Hangzhou, and it was still within our expectations. Li Tianrun and Fang Jie's defeat, the opponent's power weakened a lot. The imperial army came to attack three times, and the land of Jiangdong was restored."
Speaking of this, Zu Hui couldn't help but chuckled: "Poor Fang Hao still wants to win over you and me, and wants to kill his elder brother and inherit the position of pseudo-salvation."
"Hahaha, this boy is ruthless and does not know the general trend, his eyes are simple, and he is not worth talking about."
Just then, the rustling sounds in the surrounding woods broke the peaceful night sky. Lou and Zu stood up alertly and looked in the direction of the sound, but saw more than a dozen men with black scarves wearing black scarves walking towards their accompanying servants with steel knives in hand.
"Everyone thought the two prime ministers were good officials for the country and the people, but they didn't expect that you were all snakes, mice and villains with ulterior motives."
Zu Hui felt a chill. He was so careful that he was still exposed. Lou Xin stood opposite the man and calmly said: "If you are open and honest, why not show your true face?"
The leading man in black held the hilt of his waist and slowly walked towards Lou Xin: "Since the left Prime Minister wants to see, Zheng should do it himself. When he arrives at the King of Hell, he will not be a fool." After he took off his face towel, Lou, Zu saw that it was Zheng Biao, the commander-in-chief of Fang La Palace.
Zu Hui let out a light breath and calmed down: "It turned out to be Zheng Dianshang."
Zheng Biao walked to the stone bridge, looked at the stream that was about to dry under the bridge, and said unexpectedly: "I thought Fang La could last a few days, but I didn't expect that this family was all wasteful, and it was time and life!"
This sentence made Lou Xin and Zu Hui feel a little confused: "Who is the hell?"
Zheng Biao stared at them with a serious look on his face, and his deep eyes showed some cold and blue light: "The two gentlemen are both knowledgeable and committed to following the thief, which is also a helpless move. Now that Fang La is not guaranteed every day, why don't you plan a good path?"
Lou Xin said: "What is a good way?"
"A thousand miles northwest, the soldiers and generals are strong and the people are in a good way. When the future advances eastward, captures Bashu, and then dominates the world, it is a good way."
Northwest? The two of them had a change of mind. Northwest is where Tong Guan’s power is located. Is this eunuch?
Zheng Biao did not pay attention to the frowning brows of the two, and then said: "Our party Xiang Erlang is brave and courageous. The people in the land of Daxia are not like you Han people. The emperor is stupid and incompetent, the government is abolished, and officials are not allowed to live in trouble. With his great talent, he lives in a hundred miles. Is such a court worthy of loyalty to the gentlemen?"
"Hahaha..." Lou Xin couldn't help laughing: "It turned out that the Xixia thief was lying in Jiangdong and lurking for many days, but my brothers took a look."
"Looking for death!" Hearing that Lou Xin called out the thief of Xixia, the men who accompanied Zheng Biao were all angry.
Zheng Biao hummed his nose contemptuously: "It is not shameful to serve the country. The two gentlemen, Fang La, is just a bandit, and his life is not long. There is a saying that a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. My Emperor of Daxia is eager to seek talent. If the gentleman goes to Daxia, he will definitely be able to show what he has learned in his life. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?"
Lou Xin and Zu Hui also shook their heads contemptuously. As a Han minister, even if they cannot serve the country and honor their ancestors, they will not live in other countries and become the traitor and lackey.
Seeing Lou Xin, Zu Hui's face was determined, Zheng Biao's muscles twitched a few times, and he squeezed out the last few words from his teeth: "Two gentlemen, now the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou, including Fang La, are under the control of me, Tuoba Xu. Are you not afraid, even your whole family is a tragic devil?"
Zu Hui sorted out his clothes, raised his head and looked righteous: "It's still the son of the Tuoba family, the Western Xia rebels, Humph, how can you know the great power of the solar term?"
"Great righteousness? You were originally a minister of the Song Dynasty, and you followed the thief. The Han people have always praised their integrity. In my opinion, you are simply a group of hypocritical rats who seek fame and reputation."
Lou Xin tightened his face and turned to look at the distance with disdain: "How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan!"
Tuoba Xu had exhausted all his patience. He originally thought that he could use the Jiangdong Rebellion to set off a storm wave, but he didn't expect Fang La to be so incompetent. In just one year, he reached the brink of the end. The Fang family had no hope of separatism, so Tuoba Xu changed his mind to absorb Fang family's civil and military personnel to use it as a man, but the two people in front of him rejected him with the character of a scholar.
Seeing that his master was using all his words, Lou and Zu were still unmoved. The killers behind Tuoba Xu raised their swords and killed all the followers. Lou Xin and Zu Hui glared at him, but they were the ones who were the ones and were unable to resist at all.
At this moment, there was a whistle of arrows in the forest, and one of Tuoba Xu's subordinates fell down. Then there was a series of whistle sounds. In an instant, the group of men in black broke most of them, and even Tuoba Xu slandered his left arm in the random arrows.
In Tuoba Xu's opinion, the visitor had no intention of leaving a living mouth, so he had to make a decisive order, and he hid and disappeared into the vast night.
Lou Xin and Zu Hui were still in shock. The group of men who had just killed Tuoba Xu appeared in front of them. They took off their face towels for the leaders and politely said, "The villain is waiting late, and the two gentlemen are frightened."
Seeing the two gentlemen's faces confused, one of them had a blue skin and a red and yellow beard and said, "Sir, don't be afraid, villain Feibao, the one who is called the Red Beard Dragon in Taihu Lake is the one who calls it the Red Beard Dragon."
The man beside him was dark-skinned, with a high nose, narrow hips and wide shoulders. He looked like he was used to trying to do things in the water. His name was Di Cheng, nicknamed Slimming Bear.
"Sir, when I parted in Tokyo, my lord missed me very much." The speaker was a smart person next to Di Cheng. When he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Lou Xin.
Lou Xin took the cloth bag in confusion, opened it and saw a jade-colored jade flute lying inside. Lou Xin was shocked: "This, isn't this?"
The clever man took over the conversation: "But what sir was stolen back then?"
"This is the jade divine heired from Lou's family. That year, he went to Beijing to take the exam and lost it accidentally. I never thought that there would be a day to lose it again."
The clever man bowed deeply and said, "The villain is unruly. He just started a whim and borrowed the ancestral belongings from his husband. I beg you to a large number of them, so don't worry about them like a villain."
Lou Xin's expression was repeated, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Fei Bao quickly smoothed out: "Sir, please calm down. Shi Qian's brothers were wandering in the world and behaved excessively. After returning to the lord, he had already reformed himself."
After hearing the red-bearded man mention the word "lord", Zu Hui couldn't help asking each other: "The hero saved my brother's lives and was very grateful. I dare to ask the hero, the nobles, and Hui could know the kindness."
Fei Baoyao raised the west and his eyes were moved: "The head of the family is a man of great power and famous in the northwest. When he went to the exam that year, the gentleman even talked to the head of the family. Do you still remember it?"
As soon as these words were said, Zu Hui and Lou Xin were really shocked. The people Fei Bao said naturally knew. They just thought that the one who had been sentenced to death by the government actually returned to the northwest by using the golden trick of escaping the shell. Then? I really dare not think about what happened next.
From the beginning of Tong Guan's southern expedition, Shen Gang received an order from Yang Lin, and the navy team secretly entered Jiangdong. The Hangzhou Bay was led by Fei Bao and Di, and Ni Yun and Bu Qing from the mouth of Xiuzhou. As for Taihu Lake, Fang La wanted to attack the enemy many times, but they all returned in disgrace because the Ruan brothers controlled the waters.
Compared to Yang Lin who defected by mistake, Song Jiang is their real enemy. Liu Tang's death was because he angered Yang Lin in front, and Song Jiang's conspiracy to seize the throne was a shameless act of repaying grudges and revenge. Chao Gai was like his father and brother, but in the end he fell into a corpse. The Ruan brothers thought about it day and night that one day he could cut Song Jiang into pieces a thousand knives to sacrifice Chao Gai's spirit in the sky.
