Zhou Bo shouted loudly and said angrily: "Well, do you dare to commit a lowly job? Get out of the way, I'll leave by myself!"

When those guards saw Zhou Bo's momentum, they were apprehensive, so they didn't dare to tie up Zhou Bo, so they found a horse and took Zhou Bo away.

A few people at the gate of the Xiying watched Daduguan being taken away, and they were all very puzzled. They asked Gao Xue, who was standing at the door, what was going on. Gao Xue's face was sad, and he just said to these Zhu Yong: "Zhou Dadu has been framed, alas!

Zhou Bo was taken to Li Hui's Xingyuan, and several guards escorted him into Xingyuan. I just came to the gate of the front hall, and when I passed by a corridor, I was greeted by a person who looked like a general.

When the general approached, Zhou Bo felt that the other party was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I remembered who the other party was. More than two months ago, when he had not been promoted to the head of the Xiying Metropolitan Office, he was called by Li Hui to Xingyuan for questioning, and when he was sitting in the hall, a rugged general sitting side by side was this person.

The general's face was heavy, and when he came to Zhou Bo, he said to those guards: "You wait for a while, the Sprinkle family has something to ask about this person." ”

Those guards recognized this general, but now Li Xiangcheng was in a hurry to ask for someone, and they didn't dare to slack off. The guard at the head owed the general and said, "General Niu forgive me, this person has committed a big crime, and Li Xiangcheng wants to ask him for his guilt, and the little ones don't dare to delay more." ”

The general, surnamed Niu, snorted angrily. scolded: "You are a splasher." Asking for guilt is also a matter for the Zhizhou Yamen. Li Xuanfu is in a hurry! Get out of the way!"

Zhou Bo gasped, this general surnamed Niu is really a cow, he and the other party were sitting at the bottom of the front hall, it stands to reason that this guy's official position should not be high, why did he dare to be so arrogant in front of Li Hui's territory? Especially the sentence just now, "Asking the guilt is the matter of the Zhizhou Yamen", it is clear that he is blatantly accusing Li Hui of lynching.

However, these guards did not dare to say anything more, and when they saw that General Niu was angry, they had no choice but to step aside. Let General Niu and Zhou Bo be alone for a while.

General Niu looked at Zhou Bo for a while, and asked in a lukewarm tone, "Do you remember the Sprinkle family?"

"Sprinkle family" is the customary self-name of the men north of the Yellow River, and the accent of General Niu does have a strong northerner flavor. Zhou Bo didn't know what General Niu wanted to do, he nodded calmly and replied, "Remember, when I was questioned by Li Xianggong, I was seated with the general. ”

General Niu smiled without any emotion, and then said, "You are a person with a heart. Although you know the Sprinkle family, but you don't know the name of the Sprinkle family, the Sprinkle family will introduce themselves first. The sprinkler is a cow, and the cow is a cow with a cow's temper. You can't be mistaken. ”

When Zhou Bo heard this name, he was immediately stunned, but he didn't expect to meet another fierce general under Yue Fei in the future.

In fact, Niu Gao also cooperated with Yue Fei in the Battle of Niushou Mountain a few years ago, but Niu Gao was born in a reckless manner, and all the troops under his command were refugees and outlaws in Hebei, so after the Battle of Niushou Mountain, Niu Gao did not retreat south with Yue Fei to Jiankang Mansion, but continued to stay at home.

Presumably during the Northern Expedition last year, Niu Gao saw that the situation of the Song army was very good, and then decisively led the army to join Li Hui's command.

Zhou Bo now finally understands why Niu Gao has a high official position, but he dares to speak disrespectfully to Li Hui.

In fact, there are not many descendants under Li Hui and Zhai Xuan, and most of them were temporarily surrendered by Qi during the Northern Expedition last year. Such as Dong Hao, Dong Xian and others under Zhai Xuan, and then Peng Yuan, Fan Cheng, Niu Gao, etc. under Li Hui, the troops in the hands of these people are all private armed forces, and they will only obey these people's orders, not Li Hui or Zhai Xuan.

Therefore, Li Hui and Zhai Xuan did not dare to snub them, except for a few people like Dong Hao who were grateful to Dade and had the grace of knowing the situation, who were desperate to follow the boss, the rest of the people were all working on their own affairs, nothing more than a nominal subordinate, but in fact it was just to ensure the food and grass of their subordinates.

Of course, Li Hui and Zhai Xuan did not dare to coerce them with military salaries, grain and grass, the combined strength of these people is hundreds of thousands, and now the Jin and Qi army are pressing the border, and the autumn of the official crisis exists, and these people are originally the foundation of reckless and rebellious generals, if they accidentally force people to rebel, it will be more than worth the loss.

Zhou Bo bowed to Niu Gao and said, "It turned out to be the famous General Niu, who has admired his name for a long time. ”

Niu Gao was happy and asked: "The Sprinkle family met you for the first time, how did you admire the name of the Sprinkle family for a long time? To be honest, what the Sprinkle family hates the most is the kind words of the bureaucratic idea, which are not listened to or used. ”

Zhou Bowei really didn't understand what Niu Gao's intention was to stop him, but seeing that the other party had a good temperament and never concealed his emotional color, he still had a good impression in his heart. He sighed and said solemnly: "When I was in Xiangyang Mansion in the past, I heard that the seniors in the army told about the happy battle of Niushou Mountain, and when I mentioned the reputation of General Niu Gaoniu, I naturally admired it. Although I am not talented, I have always longed to be like General Niu, to fight with the golden dog and Qi dog, and to restore my great Song Heshan! Alas, it's a pity that this wish is only afraid."

Niu Gao smiled coldly, interrupted Zhou Bo's words, and said, "You stop." A few months ago, when the Sprinkle family was already in private, they heard Dong Hao and Dong Dashuai talk about it, and Dong Dashuai has always admired your strategy, and he also made a very high guarantee for your character. ”

These words were originally compliments, but from Niu Gao's cold tone, he felt that it was not a good word.

He paused, immediately turned the conversation to the point, and asked: "However, you have committed a crime here today, but it is something that the Sprinkle family did not expect, you tell me." What the hell have you done?"

Zhou Bo still looked calm. smiled indifferently. He said: "General Niu asked what he had done, but I am afraid that this question can only be answered by meeting Li Xianggong later, but General Niu can ask those guards first, they will be detained, and they must know the fault of Xia." ”

Niu Gao gasped and said in a humming voice: "Thief bird, you didn't even know your own crimes, so you were escorted here, this is really fucking interesting." He finished. Turning to the guards not far away, he asked in a loud voice, "Tell me, what crime this man has committed?"

The leader of the guards hesitated for a while, to be honest, what happened to Zhou Bo, even he couldn't say clearly, anyway, as Li Hui's personal soldier, he naturally obeyed Li Hui's orders.

Seeing the appearance of the guard, Niu Gao believed Zhou Bo's words and panted roughly. He said: "Brother Zhou, do you know who I hate the most? It is this kind of bureaucracy that acts as a prestige. Hum. Relying on his own title, he really takes himself seriously. ”

Niu Gao is a bold person, and naturally admires those loyal ministers and famous generals, and he can see that Zhou Bo is an upright person in terms of temperament and deeds. Since Niu Gao left his hometown, he has been eager to lead the army to recover his homeland and fight back to the north of the Yellow River, but when he came to Ezhou, he was immediately angered by the dark atmosphere of intrigue and intrigue. He sometimes hates it very much, and the enemy has his eyelids down, and these fathers and gentlemen are still fighting to the death for dozens of stones, grains, and more than 100 sets of armor.

Zhou Bo was very grateful to Niu Gao for holding grievances for himself, he smiled bitterly, and said: "General Niu, you are a reasonable person, but you are also a person with a clear conscience, no matter whether Li Xianggong listens to slander or wants to add crimes, he will face it calmly." In addition, General Niu was also asked to speak cautiously, as the so-called people's words are terrifying, in case some villains who are traitors and criminals hear it, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to General Niu. ”

Niu Gao snorted and said with a sigh: "You can't protect yourself anymore, why do you want to do it?" Alas, Dong Shuai is really right, you are young, but you look like a grand duke. ”

Zhou Bo smiled, his heart was very warm, Dong Hao is really a buddy, he says good things for himself when he carries himself, this is based on this matter, if Dong Hao wants to ask for food and grass next time, don't say that there is no vote, even if he asks for it privately, he will give it to him.

"General Niu is anxious for justice and righteousness, admire it below, please rest assured General Niu, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, if Li Xianggong really misunderstands the next, he will definitely have a chance to defend himself. And if you really make a mistake in the next, you are willing to bear it with all your might. Don't leave it at that. Zhou Bo arched his hand to Niu Gao, and then said in a vigorous voice.

Those guards finished talking, and immediately rushed up again, they waited for Niu Gao to talk to Zhou Bo for so long, they were already a little impatient, and they were afraid that Li Xianggong would even blame them if they were late. So these guards didn't wait for Niu Gao to say a final word, and hurriedly left with Zhou Bo.

Niu Gao looked at Zhou Bo's back as he walked towards the front hall, and sighed secretly in his heart: Dong Hao said that this person is a rare military wizard, and now is the time to employ people, Li Hui, an old horseman, actually listed charges and framed Zhongliang?

He gritted his teeth, his fists clenched very tightly, and every time he thought that his home was just a stone's throw away, but he couldn't regain it in one fell swoop, he always had a violent mood in his heart.

Damn, thief and bird, what year and month will it take to cross the Yellow River if this continues? The Great Song Dynasty will be defeated by these people sooner or later!

After Zhou Bo said goodbye to Niu Gao, his mood turned from the previous excitement to doubt, he always had the idea of gritting his teeth, Xu Xiangtian, the villain, was so resentful, he didn't go to trouble the villain, but the villain has always been obsessed with himself. In the end, what kind of indiscriminate means did Xu Xiangtian come up with this time to make Li Hui so angry?

When I came to the front hall, I saw that there were no other idlers on both sides of the front hall, and all the people standing were all sword and axe hands. Just seeing this posture, Zhou Bo knew that this time the matter was really big.

Li Hui was still wearing white pajamas, and it seemed that he hadn't changed into official clothes since he was woken up by Xu Xiangtian early in the morning, which showed that his mood at that time had been extremely bad. He stood in the front hall, with his back to his back, his hands behind his back, and he couldn't see any emotion on his face.

Zhou Bo didn't find that Xu Xiangtian was in the hall, and he didn't know if the treacherous villain was gone, or if he deliberately hid in the back hall, intending to wait until the critical moment to show up and testify.

The leader of the guards who escorted Zhou Bo stepped forward and reported: "Li Xianggong, Zhou Bo brought it." ”

In the front hall, Li Hui just shook his sleeve fiercely, and the guards immediately stepped aside, but they did not leave, obviously to support the scene.

Zhou Bo kept himself calm, the situation in front of him made up his mind that if Li Hui really wanted to kill him, he would never be restrained. Lao Tzu is a young man in a democratic society in the new era of the 21st century, even if he travels to the feudal era, he will never be slaughtered, these knife and axe hands look very bullish, but his body is also a practicing family, and the Qi army camp has broken through, and he is afraid that he will not be able to break out of this front hall?

He eased his breath, saluted Li Hui, and said without saying anything humble: "Li Xianggong, we don't talk darkly, you sent someone to take it early in the morning, did you commit any unforgivable capital crimes?"

Li Hui was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Bo to be so outspoken, and more importantly, he still looked upright. But it was precisely because of this that the vain karma in his heart was prosperous, and he immediately turned around, his face was murderous, his eyes were staring at Zhou Bo like knives, and he roared: "You Jianzi, you thief, you dare to pretend to be innocent in front of me?"

Zhou Bo was not deterred by Li Hui's momentum, he still did not change his face, and asked: "Li Xianggong, what is there to pretend to be open? Li Xianggong might as well make his words clear." ”

Li Hui saw that Zhou Bo was still outspoken in front of him, and naturally thought of Zhou Bo as being a thief and bluffing. He walked down from the hall menacingly, and roared through gritted teeth: "You thief, I thought that you were a strong man who could be made, and tried my best to protect you to the position of the capital of Xiying, but I didn't expect that you were a traitorous villain who tried to murder me!"

Zhou Bo heard Li Hui say that he was "trying to murder", which made him couldn't help but be stunned, okay, you Xu Xiangtian, the accusation against Lao Tzu is really not small, this is to force Lao Tzu to a dead end!

Immediately, he looked serious, with a look of neither humility nor humility, and asked rhetorically: "Li Xianggong, you said that you were plotting to murder you? It has been less than three months since he was promoted to the position of the chief of the Xiying capital, and to put it mildly, even if he had the intention of murdering him, he would not have done so before he had taken the position of the chief of the Xiying capital? Moreover, Li Xianggong, you are kind to you, why did you want to murder Li Xianggong? Whether it is public or private, this is absolutely absurd. ”

Li Hui couldn't listen to Zhou Bo's defense at all, and when Zhou Bo said "even if he has the intention of murder", the fire in his heart was already rising, and he didn't even listen to the second half of the sentence. With murderous aura in his eyes, he said straight ahead: "Okay, you Zhou Bo, you are dying, and you dare to mess around, it seems that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Let me ask you, what do you want to do if you collude with Dong Hao, fund him with 1,500 stone grain and grass, and assist him in recruiting bandits?" )
