Among the three largest Han families in Yuexi, apart from Yong Kai, who came from behind, the Couture family is the most powerful.
Because Zhu Ding had been working with Yong Kai, he could only be regarded as a vassal of Yong Kai rather than a third family.
In short, after returning to Gaoding on his own territory, the reason why he has not reported the progress of his work to Yong Kai for a long time is mainly because of the matter that Yong Kai entrusted to him - asking him to collect information about the Menghuo tribe.
No whereabouts.
Gao Ding really couldn't return to Qiongdu empty-handed, so he made up his mind and vowed to find out Meng Huo's true attitude during this encounter.
After all... Yong Kai is now very afraid that when Duosi receives strong support, his hinterland will also suffer a sneak attack and rebellion by Meng Huo.
This guy Meng Huo used to be quite slow, and he was always manipulated by a few people.
But since the last time Meng Huo came to force the palace, he seemed to have had an enlightenment, and suddenly he couldn't get enough of it. No matter how many envoys were sent, the news returned was the same - no comment.
There was no need to endure it any more - although Yong Kai was afraid that Meng Huo would gain consciousness, Gao Ding felt from the beginning to the end that it must be an old man in Meng Huo's family who had given him some advice.
If he had visited him directly, he would have been caught off guard.
With this idea in mind.
After staying in Dingze for a few days, Gao Ding led his cronies and rushed all the way to Gufucheng.
——
Gufucheng, as a true hinterland city in the southwest of Yuexun County, has now been occupied by Meng Huo and has been built into a very strong fortress.
Since the Meng family moved away from Yizhou County and Dianchi Lake, they have been moving west and north. After helping Yong Kai capture most of Yuexi County, they were finally given such a temporary residence. Judging from the results alone,
A piece of land like Gufucheng is definitely considered to have favorable conditions.
But what about reality?
In fact, because it is located in the southwest of Yuexi, or even in the remote area of Nanzhong, the climate conditions are not mentioned for the moment. Before Meng Huo and others came to Gufucheng, it was almost a wilderness.
Yes... This area can be called a barbaric land by a group of barbarians. You can imagine how harsh the conditions here are.
But even so, Meng Huo has always trusted Yong Kai.
He felt that he needed someone like Yong Kai who could help him make suggestions to help him go further and help his family continue better.
Therefore, no matter how many times the elders in the family reminded him, he chose to believe in Yong Kai.
However…
It was not until later that Meng Huo saw with his own eyes the fact that Yong Kai and others had deceived him, that he finally woke up.
Then in just a few months, Meng Huo, with the support of his family, built Gufucheng into what it is now - you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust, since you have all been thrown away
Now that they are in Gufu City, Meng Huo is also happy to be quiet. Moreover, looking at the entire Nanzhong region, who else except Duosi can have a majestic city of his own?
The barbarians in Nanzhong are all capable of killing people but not attacking cities. If you can have a strong city, unless you really encounter the most well-equipped troops of Duosi, you will be absolutely safe.
so--
When Gao Ding really came to Gufu and saw with his own eyes the majestic city described by his subordinates, his uneasiness suddenly broke out.
"This...is this really Meng Huo's city?"
"Sir, you...what's wrong with you?
Didn’t I tell you the news sent back by messengers many times before?”
"fine……"
"hateful……"
Of course, Gao Ding could not show such a gaffe in front of his subordinates, so he could only curse silently in his heart and feel ashamed of his own stupidity.
but…
You've already come, why should you retreat before the battle begins?
After gathering his mood, Gao Ding urged his subordinates to come forward and inform him.
However, when I thought that when the guards at the city gate heard my name, they would respectfully invite me into the city, another thing that seemed unreasonable to Gaoding happened.
"Ahem! Master Gaoding came to Gufu City in person, why don't you open the door quickly and form a formation to welcome him!"
"Where's Meng Huo?
Where is Meng Huo? I heard it was Lord Gaoding, why are you so slow!"
"..."
Gaoding's subordinates thought they were quite impressive, but the soldiers guarding the city didn't seem to see them, and didn't even glance down.
After realizing this, feeling slighted, Gao Ding's subordinates blushed instantly. Seeing that they were about to explode in the next second, suddenly... Gao Ding said calmly:
"Well... don't worry, I think they react like this because they don't understand Chinese. Let me do it."
"Oh, it seems like this, sir, you still need to come!"
Hearing what Gao Ding said, his subordinates quickly moved out of the way for Gao Ding. Gao Ding straightened his clothes, deliberately cleared his throat, and walked to the front of the crowd in two or three elegant steps, facing the barbarians on the city gate tower with their
The language shouts:
"Gaoding is here to visit, please notify Meng Huo as soon as possible to come and greet him!"
"Oh, it turns out to be haute couture."
"……Yes……"
Gao Ding also thinks that his reputation is not limited to the entire Nanzhong area, but he is still quite well-known in Yuexi. The careless soldier on the city gate dared to call him by his first name... This is obviously unacceptable to Gao Ding.
.
But after all, the city gate hasn't been opened yet, and Meng Huo hasn't come out yet. If he breaks up with the soldier here, he will only suffer a loss, so Gaoding suppressed his anger and answered.
Never thought…
"I've never heard of it, please come back."
"Oh no! Why are you like this?
I am Gaoding! The patriarch of the Dingzuo Gao family! Have you seriously never heard of it?
I don’t believe it…it must be…it must be this guy Meng Huo…”
I never thought that the boy on the city gate was so talkative that he couldn't stop talking, and the haute couture man almost choked to death on the spot.
Gao Ding was really angry now.
He was stomping his feet and shouting, almost scolding his mother directly.
But thanks to his explanation, the little pawn finally nodded and made a certain sound:
"Oh, I told you so earlier, it turns out it's this tall man, I've heard of it, I've heard of it!"
"Humph! This is so true..."
"But you should all please go back. It is not convenient for our clan leader to see people now."
"..."
"Gao...Master Gao! Calm down! Calm down!"
"Master Gao, please don't get along with them! It must be...it must be the opponent's plan! You...put down the knife first!"
Gao Ding was furious and was about to draw his sword as he spoke. Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city gate tower all smiled.
