Zhuoding County, Taishou Mansion

The light shines through the study, and a person is reviewing military affairs in the room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the corridor outside the study, the soldiers took three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there were lanterns hanging in the courtyard, which shone brightly.

In the grass of the garden not far away, some crickets are chirping, one or two frogs in the pond are "croaking", and fireflies are constantly flying in the night, and the hurried footsteps break the silence of the night.

A Taoist official invited someone to go in and say, "Quick, report, real person, I have something important to report." ”

After a while, he came out: "Call in." ”

"Real person, Chen Ping is dead, and the sailor has descended. When the Taoist official entered, he said with a smile on his face, Pei Ziyun was not surprised to hear it, and nodded: "Okay, I know, the last line of life of this Jibei Hou has also been broken, and the hero is at the end of the road!"

"Contact Song Zhi, order to urge the county magistrate, and speed up the invitation to the thief's family to come over, do you understand?" Pei Ziyun paced down, ordering.

"Yes, real person" The Taoist turned around and went out, as the study closed, Pei Ziyun paced a few more steps, pushed the window in front of him open, in the night, the sound of crickets and frogs was more quiet, and some cool breeze blew into the room, but there was no joy or anger on his face.

Days, official road

The people are not the army, thousands of people pulled out for miles, some of the ground has a lot of grass, many people have stepped on the grass to step forward, one by one the soldiers are supervising on the side, catching heads, servants, and the supervisors are from the relatives of the counties, but they do not scold, just urge.

An old man with a young man stepped forward, approached the head catcher and whispered: "Hu catcher, this is filial piety." ”

The old man stretched out his hand and handed over a piece of silver: "Hu Zhutou, why did the imperial court recruit us? ”

Listening to the old man's words, the head catcher glanced around, and Yin Liang took it: "You can rest assured, the court has issued an order, saying that you are invited to come, and it is necessary to persuade the rebels." ”

"Thank you, Hu Zhutou. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid that because someone in his family was a traitor in Jibei, he would be dragged to punish the crime or attack the city, and it would be over.

Watching the old man leave, the head catcher muttered in a low voice: "The court wants you to go, I am a little head catcher, how do I know what I want you to do, it is not impossible to pull you to attack the city." ”

"What is this?" said several of the members of the team, looking at the horn in their hands, unable to understand.

"A simple amplification tool that amplifies some sound, not much, but enough. A Taoist explained: "Hurry, hurry, these thousands of people must rush to the state city within three days, and they must not miss the military order of the real person, or they can't afford it." ”

Hearing this, thinking of the recent bloody example, several head-catchers couldn't help but speed up their pace.

State City

"The sailor has descended, and Chen Ping has been killed?" Shen Zhi told the news, and when Jibei Hou heard the news, his face suddenly turned pale, his body shook, and there was a roar, as if something had been completely lost, and a sense of heroic end suddenly emerged.

"Ah" Jibei Hou's heart was on fire, unbearable, he shouted in low pain, his face was distorted, but he didn't shout out loudly, he reached out and grabbed his clothes, and endured it.

After a long time, Jibei Hou calmed down, leaned back on the chair, only a while, his eyes were bloodshot, Shen Zhi raised his head slightly, and found that the Jibei Hou in front of him seemed to be much older, his hair was gray, and a kind of heroic twilight and sadness surged into Shen Zhi's heart: "Hou Ye, you still have to take care!"

Listening to the voice, the Marquis of Jibei raised his head and looked at it in a daze, there were several lamps lit in the study, illuminating brightly, his lips squirmed for a long time, and then he said to himself: "I was hungry at the age of fifteen and couldn't live, so I followed the people against me, followed the general at the age of twenty-three, became the team leader at the age of twenty-five, and was invincible all the way with the general, the general became the emperor, and I also became the marquis, and there was also a big defeat, but I went back to clean up again, and it was a big victory, and I never fell into today's end." ”

Jibei Hou looked at the bright lantern and suddenly laughed miserably: "The defeat is like a mountain, so what does it taste like?"

Saying this, Shen Zhi looked at Jibei Hou, choked up and couldn't speak, endured it, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and stepped forward to persuade in a low voice: "Guogong, or there is a turning point, as long as we stick to it, there will still be a chance, and then we will definitely be able to sweep the world again." ”

"Haha, at this point, don't comfort me. Hearing this, Jibei Hou suddenly laughed, and after laughing, his tone became very calm: "Since God has arranged my fate, I can only accept it calmly." ”

"I can't do it, but there are some things that have to be arranged. Seeing that Shen Zhi was still about to speak, Jibei Hou waved his hand: "We still have a Taoist now, call him up, I want to communicate with Gong Hachidao immediately, if it is in the future, maybe even all the Taoist people will escape." ”

Shen Zhi looked at the gray hair in front of him, his face was blue, but he was calm and calm, and his heart trembled, this is his lord, and he responded: "Yes!"

As he spoke, he turned around and went out and let the Taoist come in.

The Taoist came over, bowed down and didn't speak, Jibei Hou said coldly: "Originally, you followed me, and I also missed it a little, but now that you have reached this point, there is nothing, but I will not let you do it in vain." ”

The Marquis of Jibei took out a stack of silver tickets, checked them in his hand, smiled, and said: "You can't take away the silver from the treasury, but the silver tickets can, this is five thousand taels, and they are all silver tickets with the maximum limit of one hundred taels, not in my name, you can take them away." ”

"Yes, Guogong, if you have something to do, just tell me. "At this point, he is still so calm, and the Taoist has to admire, after listening to the words of Jibei Hou, he understood, took the silver ticket, and knocked a few times, which is considered a courtesy, and asked.

"Send me a message to Miyachishima, I want to talk to San'er. ”

"Yes!" The Taoist took out the talisman and was about to contact, but he just took it out, remembered something, and hurriedly looked at the Jibei Hou, his expression sank, and most of the Jibei Hou's qi dissipated, but he couldn't say it directly at this time, euphemism: "Guogong, the law does not add nobles, and nobles cannot communicate directly, but now I go to take the magic weapon refined by the master, or I can communicate for a while." ”

Hearing this, Jibei Hou didn't speak, his heart was bright, knowing that he was prosperous before, but now his luck has dispersed, he is afraid that the word noble person has no real name, and smiled bitterly: "It's okay for a while." ”

The Taoist hurriedly went to get it, accompanied by Shen Zhi, and came back after a while, the Taoist showed a mirror in front of the Marquis of Jibei, which looked three inches, simple and inconspicuous, and the Taoist took out the talisman and pressed it, before putting it on, the mirror lit up, and the slightest spiritual light flashed.

The light and shadow changed, and after a while, the third son Wei Ang appeared, and it seemed that the picture was a little fluctuating, but it was still quite clear.

This is the first time that Jibei Hou has seen the Dao with his own eyes, or it is also the first time for Wei Ang, he saw his father in front of him clearly at a glance, his hair was white, his face was blue, and he looked very old: "Father, what's wrong with you? If not, father, you hurry back to Gongbadao and make a comeback in the future." ”

Looking at Wei Ang's worry, nervousness, and offer in front of him, the Marquis of Jibei was relieved a lot, waved his hand, and the corners of his mouth rarely showed his father's loving smile, and looked at Wei Ang in a daze, as if he wanted to imprint him in his heart, and said: "I'm fine here, it's just a small defeat, I hold the state capital, and the court can't take it for a while, as long as King Lu raises troops to sweep the north, the court will naturally retreat." ”

"Okay, the communication is short, let's not talk about this, let's make a long story short, Wei Ang, you are still safe on Miyahachidao, right?"

Listening to his father's words, Wei Ang always felt that something was wrong, and responded: "Yes, father, I am basically stable, and now the island is already farming, and new routes have been opened, and the official mansions and ancestral halls on the island have been built, and now they are becoming more and more stable." ”

Jibei Hou nodded with satisfaction, this is the foundation of the Wei family, as long as it develops well, it will definitely be carried forward in the future.

"Our Wei family's clansmen are okay?"

Wei Ang hurriedly said: "Father, everything is fine with the clansmen, but some people disagree with me to ascend the throne and dispose of it, but they all save their lives. ”

"Whew, good handling. Jibei Hou let out a long breath, felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, and paced a few steps: "That's good, don't contact me again." ”

After a pause, Jibei Hou realized that he had said too much, and relaxed and smiled: "Wei Ang, you can operate with peace of mind, if there is no news from me, or if the news comes that I am defeated, don't go near the land anymore, you will live on Gongba Island, although this island is not a top secret, but the imperial court does not know the specific whereabouts, hey, if Wang Tu hegemony is empty, Gongba Island is the last pure land of my Wei family." ”

Jibei Hou said, tears suddenly welled up, he couldn't restrain himself, and there was a fluctuation in the mirror in front of him, which gradually blurred.

"Father. Wei Ang responded, his eyes were red, and he immediately understood, his father was arranging the aftermath, speaking of which, the picture had collapsed, and he only faintly saw Wei Ang bowing to the ground: "Father!"

The crying sound sounded, and all of them went out, everything was empty, Jibei Hou looked at it in a daze, stretched out his hand and touched it in the air, as if he didn't believe it.

Looking at the appearance of Jibei Hou, the Taoist sighed, bowed, and turned to leave.

"Lord!" After a long time, Shen Zhi shouted, Jibei Hou came to his senses, wiped his tears, and took out a piece of paper in his arms, only the size of a palm, which was densely packed with small characters, handed it to Shen Zhi, and said: "This is a person who follows me, but the target is not big and outsiders are not clear, according to the list, here is 10,000 taels, and you will divide the silver taels and dismiss them immediately." ”

He said: "It's a pity that you have a big reputation and don't have a place to go, if you have a reliable way, get out of the house immediately, you have to leave a way to live." ”

With that, tears rolled down.

Shen Zhi smiled slightly, and smiled: "Lord, at this point, the minister has no intention of living, the lord is lonely on Huangquan Road, how can I not follow?"

"If you want to say that the family is small, I have two wives and concubines, one room went to the palace eight islands, the third son will always take care of it, and the first room is arranged to go to other counties, a little field, there is a shop, and I don't die of hunger. ”

When Jibei Hou heard this, he just smiled: "You can arrange it." ”

At this moment, someone suddenly announced: "Guogong, the imperial army is about to attack the city, and the army has arrived." ”

"Coming?" Jibei Hou turned around and laughed: "It's good to come, it depends on my hard bones, I can break a few teeth in the imperial court." ”
