Chapter 270: Chaos in the Desert
King Gaomi took a deep look at the Great Commander and said hesitantly, "Of course it is...... Qingjun's side !!"
When the face of the commander of the forbidden army changed drastically, in the side hall separated by many palace walls, Empress Meng was laughing at herself to resolve the embarrassment of not answering for a long time in the back window: "Is it for Kang Zhao?"
She lowered her eyes to hide the loneliness and disappointment that flashed in her eyes, "I used to say that she was the noble person in my life, but she still refused to admit it." Now that I think about it, eighty percent of my life's perils have something to do with her!"
Seeing that there was still no movement outside the window, Empress Meng was silent for a moment, and then asked, "If I abandon the sixth brother now and take refuge in the king of Mizhen County, not to mention the benefits in the long run...... I know that Mi Zhen has a great future, but whether it is him or Kang Zhao, they are now thousands of miles away from Chang'an, but I am afraid that it is difficult to quench my thirst from far water, right?"
She pursed her lips, looked at the nose and nose in front of her, and stood meticulously like a wood carving Chunlai, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice, "Are you going to ...... took me to sneak out of the palace and hide my name...... Go to the north to find Kang Zhao?"
She paused twice for this sentence, and pinched her palm hard before she had the courage to say it, but she didn't want Gongsun Xi to know why, but she still didn't say anything!
"......" Queen Meng's cheeks were blood-red!
After a while, she felt that the atmosphere around her was unbearable, and finally she couldn't hold it anymore, and changed her cold tone, "Did you come here specifically to say those few words to me?! Or did I just offend you so much, and you didn't bother to give a word?!"
“…… Empress. After saying this, Gongsun Xi still did not answer, seeing that Queen Meng was trembling slightly, tears kept rolling in her eyes, Chunlai, who had been pretending to be a wallflower, hesitated, and finally raised his head and reminded softly, "That ...... Is it still to come?"
Empress Meng was stunned when she heard this, and immediately stood up, took three steps and two steps around the screen to look at it, she was stunned, and she was a little embarrassed, and muttered to herself: "He...... What does he mean by that?!"
"There is such a big thing happening in the main hall, even if King Gaomi and the others leave, where can there be no noise around here?" Chunlai guessed, "Maybe I saw that the guards happened to be nearby, and I was afraid that after being discovered, it would be bad for your reputation, so I temporarily avoided it." ”
The queen felt that it was very possible, and for a while she felt both embarrassed and worried: "There has been no movement outside, he should be fine, right?"
"This person is strong in martial arts, there will be no problem. Chunlai comforted, and suddenly frowned, "Strange, why hasn't the palace car arrived yet?" Even if this palace is relatively remote, calculate the time, it should come!"
When Chunlai sensed that something was wrong, Gongsun Xizheng broke into an inconspicuous house in the northeast corner of the imperial city with a pale face.
Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan, who were talking with their heads bowed in the room, were shocked, and they both stood up in horror, and after looking at them and recognizing them, Meng Guihan was vigilant, and Meng Guiyu immediately shushed and asked for warmth: "Brother Sheng, I haven't found you for the past two days, I'm worried, and I want to ...... after a while."
"There's no time to talk nonsense!" Gongsun Xi said categorically, "Eunuch Ge has a problem, King Gaomi has persuaded the commander of the forbidden army to support him, and now the palace has begun to be on guard, blocking the news, and not allowing entry and exit!"
Meng Guihan originally saw that he had a bad attitude towards his brother, and he was about to glare angrily, but when he heard this, he was immediately shocked: "How can Eunuch Ge have a problem?! Isn't he from the king of your family!?"
Gongsun Xi was in a very bad mood at the moment, and sneered at each other without thinking: "You are still the bloodline of the Meng family, don't you also think about pit the Meng family!?"
"Seventh brother!" Meng Guiyu's face was gloomy, giving Meng Guihan a look and asking him to shut up, and turned to Gongsun Xi and said, "Brother Sheng, thank you for coming to sue at this moment, my seventh brother is ignorant, and if you offend, please bear with me! After all, once the forbidden army is used by King Gaomi, he is likely to force the palace immediately, and even order His Majesty to give him the imperial throne!"
"With such a dual advantage of the father of the body and the son of Da Mu Tianzi, even if the king of the county is full of wings in the western frontier, he will definitely be in a dilemma...... This is not the time to quarrel!"
Gongsun Xi said coldly: "I don't have the heart to quarrel with you at this time, you should quickly come up with an idea! You must know that the king of the county is the son of the king of Gaomi, even if he has been out of harmony with the king of Gaomi for a long time, but the princess is still there, for the sake of the princess's face, even if the king of Gaomi succeeds this time, he may not give the king of the county any way to live! But your brothers, it will definitely not end well!"
"Brother Sheng, please rest assured, our brother is not a person who sits idly by!" Meng Guiyu said in a deep voice, "Now I also ask Brother Sheng to help and send our brother to Shanglin Yuan!"
"Shanglin Yuan?" Gongsun Xi frowned, "It's too dangerous! When I came, the commander of the forbidden army was already dispatching troops to blockade the entire palace city! Although Shanglin Yuan is on the west side of the imperial city, only separated from the imperial city by a wall, but at this moment, under the west wall, I am afraid that a net has already been laid down! Not to mention taking the two of you with me, even myself, I can only force my way in, and I am not sure that I will leave quietly." ”
"Not only the west wall, but also the south gate is just as dangerous! Outside the south gate is an open place, there is nowhere to hide, and the war horse is easy to catch!"
"So for now, I can only go to the north gate, hide in the city, and buy time!"
When he said this, he looked at Meng Guiyu, "There is another problem, that is, your brother has not had much time to enter the forbidden army, but the one surnamed Tao has been in charge of the forbidden army for generations, and you have gone to Shanglin Yuan now...... Does it work?"
"It's useful!" Meng Guiyu's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "The forbidden army has a very important stake, so how can His Majesty Emperor Taizu not guard against the rebellion of the Great Commander? In fact, the forbidden army is nominally headed by the Great Commander, but secretly it still has the means to restrain the Great Commander, and it is usually hidden, and only shows up when the Great Commander does something unruly! This will be known after staying in the top echelons of the Forbidden Army for a year and a half!"
"So even if the Great Commander is moved by King Gaomi, he will go to Shanglin Yuan to launch a palace rebellion at this moment, as long as the news spreads before they threaten His Majesty......"
"Those means of restraining the Great Commander will be activated?" Gongsun Xihu wondered, "What kind of means are they?
Meng Guiyu said: "Our brother has not been in the forbidden army for a long time, and he is not a forbidden army family, so we don't know exactly what the means are. But the effect must be there, otherwise people wouldn't have mentioned it and kept it secret. ”
He added, "What's more, the 400,000 forbidden army is close to us, although our current Son of Heaven is unreliable, your first emperors are not confused! How can you rashly hand over the power to decide the change of the dynasty to a mere commander?!"
Gongsun Xi felt that it made sense, groaned, and said, "So don't talk about it, I'll accompany you out of the imperial city first...... I'm not very familiar with the path, you show the way, quick!"
"Shanglin Yuan will be handed over to our brothers!" Meng Guiyu pointed in the direction and followed his footsteps, and said quickly, "Please also ask Brother Sheng to report to the relatives of the county king immediately after leaving the imperial city...... Especially Ning Weihou!"
Gongsun Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Although Ning Weihou was the commander of the Northern Frontier Army, firstly, it was many years ago;
Meng Guiyu explained: "When Ning Weihou was still in the court, he brought a group of personal guards back to serve as guards, and those were the elites who had done it with Ruru's real sword and gun, not the soldiers who had never seen blood in the forbidden army for generations. Even if there are few people, but if the situation is not right, we don't actually need to protect too many people to retreat, as long as Your Majesty is in hand, King Gaomi's conspiracy will not succeed!
He also said, "What's more, the 400,000 forbidden troops were all allocated by the imperial court, and they were not raised by the one surnamed Tao! Even if the henchmen surnamed Tao are willing to rebel with him, there will always be those who are unwilling! Among these unwilling people, there may not be anyone who can stand up and lead the overall situation, and even if there is, how can it be as reliable as Ning Weihou's appearance?"
His explanation is reasonable, although Gongsun Xi has experienced many dangers in his life, but this kind of major change in the relationship is the first time he has been in contact, and he can't help but be a little dizzy, and after thinking for a while, he agreed.
Just half a day later, under the leadership of Meng Guiyu, who was familiar with the palace and had accumulated over the years, the three of them went their separate ways after leaving the imperial city, Gongsun Xi took the lead in rushing to Ning Weihou's mansion and found Ning Weihou to say this, Ning Weihou was shocked, but said: "Ah Xi, you are only afraid of falling for Meng Guiyu's little child!"
In fact, at this time, Meng Guihan was asking Meng Guiyu: "What did the sixth brother do to make up what words about the Forbidden Army that there was a restraining commander in the Forbidden Army to deceive that Sheng Xi? Although he had never joined the Forbidden Army and knew nothing about the Forbidden Army, I am afraid that this kind of lie would not be concealed for a long time." ”
"Have you forgotten who Eunuch Ge is?" Meng Guiyu said in a low voice with a solemn face, "That was originally left by the first emperor to King Gaomi, and later rebelled against Huan Guanlan...... Now it seems that either he has never been rebelled, but even Huan Guanlan has been deceived, or he obeys Huan Guanlan but does not accept Mizhen! In short, judging from what happened tonight, the real Yellow Bird is no longer us, but the King of Gaomi!"
"Back then, the first emperor loved King Gaomi very much and hated the present. Since you can arrange eunuch Ge for King Gaomi in the palace, who knows if there is a hand left in the forbidden army?"
"Our brothers have said that it has been a beautiful situation in the past two years, but in fact, it is just like that, and the little capital that we have finally accumulated is in the forbidden army...... If Sheng Xi knew that we might not be able to do anything at this time, but purely needed protection, what do you think he would do? He would definitely leave us at once and turn around and leave, and figure out how to do it ourselves!"
"It's impossible to give us the slightest attention in the future!"
Meng Guiyu sneered and said, "In this way, if our hard work is ruined, if we die in the hands of King Gaomi this time, it will be okay, if not, how can we use the King of Mizhen County to make a comeback?!"
He took a deep breath, "You must know that for a person like Mi Zhen, the most disgusting thing for him is not necessarily the betrayer! Because he knows that I have been moving for a few days, but he has not taken any violent measures, which is not at all like his usual behavior! This is not only because he is not in Chang'an now and cannot spare his hands, but also because what I am doing now is also in his arms for many people! It is beneficial to him, he feels that he will not let me develop to the point of getting out of control, and he is happy to sit back and enjoy it!"
"The most disgusting and impatient of him is the useless person!"
"That's not even bothering to look at it...... Our family background is so thin, how can we not be cautious everywhere and leave enough way back?!"
Meng Guihan was stunned for a moment and said, "Sixth brother, then you persuaded Sheng Xi to go to Ning Weihou, but what are your plans?"
And at this moment, Xu Zijing sighed and told Gongsun Xi: "Meng Guiyu is a white wolf with empty gloves at all: under my banner to gather the soldiers in the forbidden army who are unwilling to rebel with the commander! Although in this situation, if he doesn't do this, it is impossible for me not to stand up, but whether it is him or me, against King Gaomi's forced palace, in the final analysis, the backer is Mizhen!"
"If you don't get separated, those soldiers will naturally be headed by you!"
"Now it's a chance for him to grow stronger!"
Gongsun Xi: "......"
"But I don't have time to think about the details right now. Xu Zijing narrowed his eyes, "You can tell me the ins and outs of Fang Cai...... Although Lao Tzu has left the northern Xinjiang for some years, how can I say that he has been killed step by step from the ranks, what kind of merit and impostority have never been seen?! Meng Guiyu's little boy wants to get an axe in the class, I really think that Lao Tzu can't pull his face down to bully children?!"
