To go to Yunwu Mountain and wait for an opportunity to seize the dragon eggs, Meng Jizu was always the leader, and Meng Hongdao only assisted from the side.
Since a major event is approaching, under normal circumstances, Meng Jizu should rush here personally to take charge of everything.
However, at this juncture, Meng Jizu did not come, but only Meng Hongdao came forward, something was not right.
Especially compared to others, the Meng family can accurately judge that the dragon is laying eggs, and there is a possibility of success, so they will not be perfunctory.
Meng Chuan also nodded when he heard this. If Meng Zhao hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have noticed it.
In his mind, uncle Meng Jizu is a powerful and powerful person, so he can't just abandon his business and enjoy himself at home, right?
Meng Hongdao sighed, his face showing traces of anxiety, irritability, and sadness as never before, which made Meng Zhao a little curious.
Ever since he got to know Meng Hongdao, he felt that this man had the style of a Confucian general. He was not as majestic and domineering as Meng Jizu, but he was still as calm as water.
This is the first time I have seen him like this. You must know that when he had not formed an alliance with the Fire Dragon Cave, but instead faced tit-for-tat, Meng Hongdao was mostly confident and fearless. Is there really any change?
If he is not afraid of even one of the thirteen families, can there be anyone or anything that worries him?
"Just five days ago, my eldest brother had already traveled through the starry night to the Beisan Camp outside the city of Jizhou.
Before leaving, eldest brother has entrusted me with everything about Yunwu Mountain, so we can only rely on ourselves this time."
This is another bit of strange news.
According to Meng Zhao's understanding, although Meng Jizu was a general in Jizhou, he nominally commanded the 70,000 elite troops of the North Third Battalion.
But because he is still the head of the Meng family, Nan Anbo, he spends most of the time in Nan Anbo's house every year to deal with various matters, and military affairs, such as drills and martial arts performances, are mostly handled by the Meng family's loyal lieutenants in the army.
Guarding and guarding, similar situations have been going on for some years, and this is also a common practice in the military.
The same is true for Beininghou's Lei Wanche.
The reason for this is also related to the peace of the world.
The Sixth Battalion in the North and South are the most powerful forces in Jizhou. They cannot fight without fighting, so naturally they have little use for them.
Now that the New Year is not far away, armaments are lax, and those professional soldiers who have retired from work also need to go home to reunite. The dragon issue is very important, and even affects the future prosperity of the Meng family.
There was really no reason for Meng Jizu to suddenly abandon this big stall and run to the barracks in the state city without caring about anything. Could it be that a war was about to break out and he had to rush to prepare?
Facing the doubts of Meng Zhao and Meng Chuan, Meng Jizu's expression changed again. While pouring himself a cup of hot osmanthus wine, he calmed down and said,
"What I'm going to say next is very important and crucial. You two are not allowed to tell anyone about it. Do you understand?"
Meng Zhao and Meng Chuan could only nod. Qi said yes, but felt that Meng Hongdao was making a fuss out of a molehill.
"Not long ago, your uncle and I received news that Xuzhou prefecture governed Pengcheng, and there was Gao Yingzhong, a wealthy and powerful man in the world. Luan Xiaojie rushed into the prefecture on the eighth day of November, and killed the governor of Xuzhou in front of a room full of prefecture officials.
, the captain, suppressed the people in Pengcheng with force.
At the same time, he gathered heroes, gathered officers and soldiers, and supported a hundred thousand people, all of whom were brave and elite.
On the tenth day of the eleventh month, he worshiped heaven on the Pengcheng Bronze Elephant Platform, proclaimed himself King of Gods of Mitian and General of Jade Heaven, and raised the banner of rebellion.
Now the south is already raging with war, and the neighboring Yuanzhou, Qingzhou, and Weizhou are also involved in it, and there are weapons everywhere."
The voice was not loud, but the news instantly stunned both Meng Zhao and Meng Chuan.
They looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say.
It’s really hard to understand why.
Dayong has been at peace for a long time. Although many rebels have been trying to subvert Dayong's orthodox status, most of them are making small troubles and sweeping across one county is already a big deal.
People like Gao Yingzhong and Luan Xiaojie not only had the audacity to kill the governor of a state, but also gathered officers and soldiers for their own use. With a crowd of hundreds of thousands, they were the only scorpions to pull daddy.
Not to mention that several nearby states were also devastated.
Also, the information revealed in these simple sentences is too incredible, making people doubt its authenticity.
"Third uncle, is such a thing really possible? It's not that my nephew doesn't believe it, but how can such a reckless person have such a huge momentum?
Pengcheng is the seat of Xuzhou and the state city. According to legend, it has a population of 500,000. It has always been heavily guarded by strong soldiers and a cloud of masters.
So what about Gao Yingzhong, how could Luan Xiaojie kill him in front of state officials?
Even if it was really unexpected, then the two of them should have fled and been wanted.
Are all Xuzhou’s aristocratic families, elite soldiers and powerful generals, the warriors of Tianxing Hall, and even the local sects and powerful gangs in Xuzhou all dead?”
This is like two gangsters who killed the current governor of Jizhou in Yecheng of Jizhou, then seized all the soldiers and horses of the six northern and southern battalions, raised flags to rebel, and even made a huge noise, sweeping the neighboring Liang Yanlei
Waiting for the state, it will be difficult to contain it for a while.
Is it possible? The Meng family can kill two idiots by themselves.
In Meng Zhao's words, even a novel would not dare to write like this, it's so damn brainless.
It is said that this is the last year of the dynasty, with frequent natural disasters, endless local disasters, serious land annexation, people are in dire straits, it is difficult for the people to make a living, and there is no transcendent power like martial arts to block it, it is possible that this kind of thing will happen.
But now, given the right time and place, it would be too much for two so-called green forest tycoons to cause such a turmoil.
Meng Chuan also nodded repeatedly, but he also mentioned it.
"Dad, is it possible that these two are masters, so they can subdue so many people with force?"
This is also a possibility. If a martial arts master rebels, the harm is definitely not small. The martial arts popularity of the master alone is an inestimable political wealth.
However, this possibility is extremely low.
Sure enough, Meng Hongdao shook his head and replied,
"No, Gao Yingzhong and Luan Xiaojie are just innate warriors, not master warriors."
Now, even Meng Chuan, a young boy who was a little confused and didn't like political thinking very much, noticed something strange and wrong.
His martial arts skills are not perfect, he lacks the decisive force, he has no family background, he just works hard in the world, and he lacks fame and connections. Even if he is a green forest hero, he does some underworld work and earns some money. How much will he have? How can he support his troops?
How could these two people rebel? Even if they rebelled, how could they have such momentum?
Meng Zhao quickly sensed something unusual. He squinted his eyes, his purple eyes flashed, looked at Meng Hongdao and asked,
"Third uncle, as far as I know, the real owners of Xuzhou should be the Li family with the ninth surname, right? Does Song Guogong just let these two clowns jump around on the stage?"
Meng Hongdao glanced at Meng Zhao with admiration. This child is really quick-witted and discerning.
